LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.


To tho Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
AS the question of changing the time for the
county treasurer to take possession of his Office
is before the Legislature it will be pertinent to
cite some reasons why this change would be
beneficial, more than appear upon the surface.
The county treasurer makes his May
settlement with the State, and includes in
that settlement all collections made prior
to the third Monday of April The collections
made after that date must be accounted for in
the November settlement Consequently, the
treasurer taking possession. as under
the present arrangement, on the 4th
day of September must account in
his November settlement for the collections
made by the former treasurer between the third
Tuesday in April and September Any err
rors in copying the amounts from the stubs or
duplicate, or in marking payments correctly, fall
upon the new incumbent Such errors are of
frequent occurrence, and cannot fail to create
unpleasant relations.
The new duplicate is received from the county
auditor on the first day of January. If the new
treasurer came into Office at that date he would
have simply the collections of his predecessor
from the first Monday in November to
light, and errors consequently apt to be few, If
any, This arrangement would place four COM
plete settlements in the hands of each treasurer,
and be very advantageous arrangement to all
concerned.
One of the peculiarities of our tax law is that
when the treasurer makes his May settlement,
and claims per cent. on all delinquent taxes
collected, allowed by law, he is informed
that taxes brought forward as delinquent to
the new duplicate considered current
taxes on which he receives l per cent; but on
the 9th day of February occurs the annual tax
sale for non payment of delinquent taxes,
as shown upon the current dupli-
cate-in direct conflict with the form
er statement. The correct time to
make the tax sale is the first Monday in June,
which would involve the delinque taxes only,
and clear the record in a great meas
ure of Objectionable feature. AS the
sale is now made, the current taxes
are involved, in face of the fact that the law
gives the third Monday in April for the pay
ment of the first installment and the first Mon
day in November for payment of the second in
stallment e. N. RICHARDS,
Deputy Treasurer Marion County.

needs the thoughtful word or the low

young people, lacking the mothers counsel
or the friends suggestion, the LADIES
JOURNAL would like to influence with in
terchange Of opinion in the many ways and
pleasures of a girls life. And first of all,
dear young people, we will place singing,
that art which brightens the whole being
Of humanity which renders home attrac-
tive, bestowing cheerful thoughts upon the
dwellers therein; which softens and arous-
eS the emotions which clears and enlvens
the brain. All, how much of pleasure we
find in it how much of pleasure we confer 1
50, dear young people, when you sit
down at the piano, remember that it is not
for the present pleasure alone that you prac-
tice the sweet sounds, but for all the years
TO come, be they ever SO sad, or ever
so weary; there is always the melody
threading our days with its bright and
sunny strand the melody that revives the
dropping spirit, that gives to life one Of its
most charming occupations. So sing, sing,
sing, but be sure that you sing in the full
skill and charm Of music. Open we'll
your mouth, draw in the chin, let the music
come we'll up from the lungs (not just from
the throat, as hoarse notes dog, but send a
clear, sweet strain forth. 3ifn
The birds must know. Who wisely sings
Will sing as they;

Songs make their way.

THE THIRD OF THE SERIEs
Won By Sehaefer After a Sharp Con
 test with SIosson

test With SIosson
 CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-Schaefer won the third game of the series for the fourteen-inch balk line championship tonight by score of 800 to 6S8 for Slosson This leaves it a tie, necessitating the playing of another series The bank was won by Schaefer, but
 he failed to count. Slosson followed with 7,
 and after rather tedious and uninteresting
 play the score at the end of the sixth stood: Slosson s9, Schaefer 59. Slosson played in great form for the next three innings, but commenced to look trife anxious when in the tenth inning Schaefer knocked out Al. In the twelfth and thirteenth by open table play Schaefer added runs of 56 and 7s to his string, passing Slosson and giving him lead of 6S points. In the twelfth Slosson failed to re- member the Tout and in" rule and when Referee Callan stopped him with nine buttons added to his string his face was chromo of disgust. By successive runs of 1OS and 69 Slosson in the seventeenth inning took fair lead, but Schaefer to show an earnest of good intention crept up to within nine points of Slosson by a run of 122. In the twenty-hfth Schaefer made another rally and with run of 94 took lead of 51. At the finish of the thirty-frst the score stood: Schaefer TOP, Slosson 634. Each man made double figures in the next inning and in the thirty-third Jacob by arun of 49 landed himself within thirteen of the victory. Slos- son made three and Schaefer easily scored the desired thirteen. The triple tie will most likely be played off in private at the Brunswick and Bake rooms. The score was:

Trains Crash at Full Speed.

LOWELL, Mass, Dec. 23.-This evening as the nine o'clock train, on the Boston & Low ell railroad from Boston, which comes around by the way of Bedford, was coming at a swift rate of speed upon the main track near the che mical works of the Talbot company at North Rillerica, the engine struck the saloon car Of the up freight train, which was late and was just drawing off the main track to allow the passenger train to pass. The locomotive of the passenger train struck the saloon car with great force, demolishing the car and the long freight car ahead E. Bazell, the brake. man on the freight, had his leg broken and was badly crushed. John Sweeny of St.

only one ne between the reservoir and the city
 From the distributing reservoir to this hill
 the incline will be slight, giving a
 pressure of only about twenty pounds;
 but from the hill to the city a pres
 sure of about D pounds can be secured. This
 will be enough for light motive power, and
 will be of great benefit in case of fire. The
 pressure in the present company's pipes, it
 is stated, is about 20 pounds MT. H. N.
 Beardsley, who is engineering the scheme,
 says that if the charter can be secured in the legislature work will be commenced immediately thereafter and in that event he hopes to have the pipe laid from North avenue to the distributing reservoir by the first of next July The water of the stream appears to be very clear and good; an analysis of it will be made soon. No poisonous refuse from factories gets into it, and it flows through no swampy land. It is supplied from springs and numerous smaller streams, and seems in every way to be just what is desired Dur ing last summer it was about of the same height as at present. Thirty-inch pipes will be laid and they will be of the best qual- ity. The capital stock of the company will probably be S1,O0O,oOO, but the cost of put ting in perfect system will not, it is thought, be more than S50O,OOO
