A State Tree.

According to one estimate reported upon
on Arbor Day, 1890, 7,107 school districts
planted 81, ,o67 trees. With view to arous-
ing an interest in the subject of arboricult-
ure it was suggested by the state superin-
tendent of public instruction that a vote be
taken in the schools throughout the state
to determine upon a state tree, to the end
that children might be led to consider and
discuss the different species most to their
liking. The inspectors of election in many
cases failed to obey the instructions that
were given them, and the vote was not re-
turned in full. In many cases only the
majority was given, SO that it is not possi-
BILE from the returns to statethe exactnum-
Der of votes cast for each variety, but the
general result is about as follows: The
sugar maple received 43 per cent. of the en-
tire vote cast, the oak % per cent. and the
elm i6 per cent. The remaining 16 per cent
were divided among some thirty-fve diff
ferent varieties of trees.

CASE OF DESTITUTION.
Two Young Ladies Who are In
Need of Assistance.

Kansas City, Feb. 17.-Another
case of destiiution has come to light
which certainly should appeal to the
charitable people of this city. The
persons most concerned are two young
ladies', named respectively Miss NJ ny
Hughes and Jennie Smith. Miss
Hughes has been a victim of nervous
prostration to such an extent that
she has been compelled to give up
her Place. For a whole year The
girls have been supported by the
poorly paid labor of Miss Smith, who
has been employed 10 tailoring
house as a seamstresS.
Within the past three months she
has been so i'll with rheumatism that
she has gradually been forced to give
up her position, so that for the past
few weeks the ladies have seen their
slender means Of subsistence slowly
but surely dwindling away, with no
apparent hope for the future. The
attention of Humane Officer Mcmillan
was called to the case yesterday and
the young women we've taken to the
hospital for treatment. Miss Hughes
condition is such that it was found
impossible for her to remain, as the
noise and confusion of the bu-iness of
the hospital threw her into convul-
sions. She was accordingly taken
back to the room at Cos Delaware
street where the two had been living.
The room is on the third floor of the
building, and while fairly comforta-
BILE, is scarcely the proper place for a
patient suffering from such disease.
Officer Mcmillan has Investigated
the case and reports that the young
ladies are worthy of assistance. He
has provided for their Temporary needs
but. of course can do but little with
the limited means at his disposal.
Miss Smith is still at the hospital,
where she is being cared for, but her
companion is practically slone in tie
cherries room on Delaware street.

Wolf Hunt.

The Green Ridge Enterprise has the
following: The grand wolf chase which
was to have occurred on Flat Greek last
Saturday did not come of, we are
sorry to state, for the simple reason
that his wolfship could not be started
Notwithstanding about one hundred
and fifty mounted men and half as
many hounds secured the woods from
early morn till late in the evening.
The fact that several wolves had
been seen by parties residing on Flat
creek, just day or two previous to
the grand "blow-out" of the 18th.
seemed to have imbued every hunter
with the idea that he was in q country
where wolves abounded in large num-
bers, and that it would be no trick at
ali to stir him up and chase him to
finish. But the idea proved far from
correct, and despite determined all
day effort the game could not be
found.
Another and better organ zed hunt
will be made, We have understood, in
the near future, and it is hardly pos
sible that the willy wolf will again
evade chase.

less. 1t passed by vote of 1O6 yeas
to 19 nays.
