wards held meeting at Judge Bakers office.
The main object of the meeting was to take
the intiatory steps to secure the State appro
priation of $500 and to obtain the tile to the

1t is well understood that the money pledged
to the institution must be transferred to the
same before the appropriation from the State
can be made available. Mrs. Mary H Flagg
gives $4,000; Mrs Mary c. Dummer $4,000 in
the farm and Gov. Coburn $500.
On motion of Mr.. French, John L. Stevens,
H. X. Baker, and Simon Page were appointed
as Executive Committee.
On motion of Judge Baker. the Executive
Committee were authorized to negotiate with
Mrs. Drummer for a deed of the farm at S.
900, two thousand dollars of the same being
deducted.
The committee were also directed to present
to the Governor and Council the evidence that
the sum of $12, 500 had been secured, in order
to obtain like sum from the State. 1t was
voted to require the Treasurer of the corpora
ton to give bonds, with sufficient sureties, in
the sum of $4,000.
Hons. John L. Stevens and Sidney Perham
and Mrs. c. A. L. Sampson were appointed a
committee to visit the Massachusetts Industrial
School at Lancaster to examine its buildings as
to their adaptablity and fitness for the purpo-
SEES designed, and to obtain such other facts as
shall have practical bearing on the prepara-
ton O. plans for our own, and report thereon at
the next meeting.

Current Notes.

Until Legislature scan devise some method
of compelling the holders of moltgages-those
who derive profit from them-to pay the
taxes imposed upon such instruments, they
should not levy taxes upon them at all. 10
require from the poor man who has half
paid tor his little dwelling the payment OF a
double tax, one upon the whole value of the
house and another upon the debt which he
yet owes, is the height of injustice and OPP

The Boston Herald warmly advocates the
election of Judge Hoar as Mr.. Summers sue
cessor.
According to the New York Post the New
York Legislature has an average of clerk,
a door-kee per, a page or messenger or folder
to each member, which cost the State $1,000
per diem.
1t is now stated that Judge Hoar has a
plurality of the Massachusetts, House in favor
of his election. Mr.. Dawes is next, but Mr..
Adams has but few supporters.
Senator Cameron at the launching of the
immense steamship City of Pekin, at Ches-
ter, Pa, the other day, told the people that
Pennsylvania was bound to control the ma
tion-that it had the rest of the country in
its power. There was an abundance of wine
at the dinner. obr
Our exchanges all mge Congress to take
immediate action on the currency question.
Evidently Congressman do not read the pa
pers or they would act.
The Boston Pilot (Catholic) in comment
ing on the report of the murder of an Amer
lean Protestant minister in Mexico, says; ut
is said that a priest instlgated the Chine,
which we cannot believe. But should it turn
out to be true the crime of all the mob should
be intensified on his head by terrible pun
ishment. The wretches who could kill man
with religious cry on their lips are the great
est wretches in the world"
There is another rumor that Secretary
Richardson has resigned, but alas it is only a
rumor. We have it from very good authority
that the President would like TO have the op-
portunity of naming another man to fill that
Cabinet seat.

office while her father was Pension Agent, be-
fore he was appointed Deputy Commissioner,
induced the President to make an exception in

bv Mr.. Kellogg, but it seems that Mr.. Wood
reserved his most startling error for the
Navy Department. He quotes the register
to show that the increase of the civil list in
that Dc. ,artment has leaped from POI in
1871 to 8,241 in 1873 Mr.. Kellogg
says that he has taken tie ''Blue
Book" and counted the names of
all the employees, including not only the
civil service officials, but all of the officers
of the Navy Department and all the officers
of the navy from the highest TO the lowest,
including the cadets at Annapolis. and there
are only 2,349 of which but 1872 are strictly
civil employees. In the State Department Mr..
Wood gave the increase as from 373 in 1893,
to AGA in 1878; but in this increase he includ-
ed 81 centennial commissioners who receive
no pay as civil employees OF the government.
Measurements are found in the hgures OF
Mr.. Wood respecting all the other depart
ments but none are so glazing as those we
have noticed. The Five Points Refo.mer
lust escaped through tie charity Of the sta
tute of limitations for the crime of altering
has not forgotten his old weakness but for
tunate.y for him there is no punishment for
such forgery in Washington.
We do not wish to be understood as saying
that there is anything like rigid economy in
the management Of the civil service, or that
good men are always employed, but that COM
pared with other administrations that have
existed since the Democratic party proclaim
ed "to the victors belong the spois," there is
no charge of profigacy against the present
administration in the employment of officials
that is not equally good against them all.
One OF the leading questions Of the hour is
the reform of the civil service, both in the
direction CT efficiency and economy, but Fer
nando Wood need not clay the fiattering
JUNCTION to his soul' that this work will be
entrusted to the party which he leads in Con-
gress and of which he is in every way fit
exponent.

A BIBLE STORY, BUT FIsHY.-The Scotsman
a prominent Scotch newspaper, says, and other
British papers seem to believe the story, that a
Bible bound in calf and bearing the name of
civilian Sim,' Dundee man, and the date
of 1880, had been discovered in the stomach of
Of a Goldfish recently taken. William Sim
went to sea in 1884 aud has not since been
heard from. On the very day when the above
remarkable fact supposing it to be fact, was
announced, the heirs of Mr.. Sim obtained au-
thority for drawing certain amounts of money
owned by the deceased If the story about the
Bible is true it exhibits the remarkably indiges-
tible quality of paper, and codfshs power of
existing years without any serious results from
indigeStion
