Class 100 of the high school attended
divine services at the Baptist church In
body last evening, and listened TO n bacca-
laureate sermon by the pastor, the Rev.
George w. Rigler The speaker took for
his text, Luke xii, Is: For n mans life
consisteth not in the abundance OF the
things which he possesseth." lie said I:
Life is more important than that we call
our own. The mind aud soul arc more
important than their surroundings. Be-
fore we name the elements OF true life
we must remember that the soul and
mind are capable of great destiny, and
that moral renovation aud moral develop
ment enter into every scheme OF life.
The elements of n true life are faith, love
and right purpose No better prayer,
class 'g2 can we offer for you than that
your life be made up OF these three ele-
ments."

WEATHERSFIELD,

The town report shows that the ex-
pense of doing town business for the year
was $500 32. The liabilities are $21 $40 O5,
which was an increase of $70.66 over
last year. Attention has been called to
the fact that the Campbell and Conner
funds were reckoned as liabilities when
apparently they should be assets. That
depends on how a gift is used. The
town applied the money on their debt
and paw the Interest themselves. Mani
festly that should be reckoned liability
the same as any sum. Rockingham did
the same with its share of the fund in
vesting it in its Town hall. 1t is only a
nominal liability as it never will have to
be paid, but inasmuch as it has been ap-
piled on the debt it is the same as money
borrowed for the purpose and should be
a liability.
COMMUNICATION.
To the Editor of Tue TINES:
Not few of our Taxpayer are won
deriDg at the reckoning as liability and
a part of our town debt, of the Campbell
and Conner funds, which gave to the
town, in trust, something like $1,000.
Can you explain it upon grounds of COM
mon usage, and why should it appear in
entirely outside of previous practice, and
many think there was motive. Last
year our town report placed our debt at
SIS, 564 sc, and under the head of :spub-
lie Moneys" placed these same funds.
This year, the report duplicates the items
and by placing these funds uLder "Town
Liabilities increases our Indebtedness to
$21 1927 .66, less assets as given, $473. IA.
| S.nd Won a cOnV of Our raport ond
should like your opinion. There is an
town debt has been stuffed for the bene-
fit CO of possible future movements for
improvement-the new railroad, for in
stance. A SUBSCRIBER.
THE above contains quite question.
or more properly quite number of
questions. 1t is not our province or in
clination to impute motives, and to this
extent we must beg to be excused. Sim
liar funds are handled in various ways
by different towns. In some they take
no place in town finances, simply APPEAR
ing apart so far as to show their face
value. In other cases they are reckoned
as nominal liabilities, offset elsewhere as
nominal assets. While we do not pose
as authority, we should illustrate your
problem in apparently the simplest and
most truthful form by following out the
following: Town liabilities, as per re-
port, including outstanding orders, the
Campbell and Connor funds, $2l, 970.05
assets, available, 1860 81, and nominal
including town property and above
named funds, $6S47.46. making total
assets, $71l6 so. This leaves town liza
bilities at $l4. S53 25-ED.l

Apparently there is no end to the
Blaine family troubles. which are des-
tined to furnish still more material for
newspaper discussion. The letter of
Secretary Blaine, in which he defends
his son, to Father Doucy, by whom the
ill-mated young couple were married. is
the latest news of the scandal. The
young man who plays the part of hero
in this melodrama, was born October u.
1868, and was exactly II years and 10
months of age at the time of his mar
riage in 1886 to Miss Nevins, the actress,
who was then 81. His father declares
| in his letter that the Nevins family made
all The arrangements of which his son
was the dupe. Notwithstanding the in
| feriority of the match both the secretary
himself and Mrs. Blaine sought to make
the best of the bad match and offered
the couple home and an allowance of
$4,000 year. The young wife, how
ever, refused to live in Augusta, and left
for New York during the absence of her
bu> band. Although the letter to Father
Doucy was written in September, 1886,
iJ is only pow that Secretary Blaine has
made the document public.

RISING EVERYWHERE.
The Tide which Leads to Republican Sue

The Tide which Leads to Republican Sue
cess Growing Steadily Stronger.
Ex-senator Warner Miller, of New
York, one of the closest political OBJ
servers in the country, speaks in a very
hopeful vein about the prospect for Re-
publican success. He says:
New York state can be carried by the
Republicans at the November elections.
There has been a tremendous reaction
all over the state against the Democratic
party as dominated and ordered about by
David B. Hill. The exposure of Demo-
cratic purposes at Albany, taken in con-
nection with the methods by which they
obtained control of the upper branch of
the legislature, have disgusted large
numbers of Democrats, who will follow
Hill to the polls if necessary to defeat
him. The best feature, however, of the
Democratic domination and legislation
has been to arouse Republicans to a
pitch where they will do their utmost to
carry the state, and will be able to effect
perfect unifica ion for that purpose, and
to make an attack on the Democrats that
will be irresistible. Ii is apparent at the
present time that Hill has killed Cleve-
land as Democratic nominee, but Cleve-
lands friends, by their anti-early con-
vention movement have also killed Hill.
He may secure the nomination, but he
certainly will not secure the election.
By the way, it is a most unfortunate
spectacle for the state of New York to
be presided over by a governor whose
only answer to the committee of bust
ness men of the metropolis who visited
him to secure his influence to increase
the appropria tion for New York's ex-
hihit at the Worlds fair was to exclaim
''Rats!" 1t is ignominious that the
state should be ruled by such a chief
executive. <

Short Session, but the Cases Showed Ex-

Hon. John w. Rowell, Hon. James M.
Tyler, Hon. Henry r. Start, Hon. l.. H
Thompson, judges.
The supreme court was in session
from Tuesday morning, February %, to
Saturday morning, February 81.
Thirteen cases were argued, and, as
one of the judges remarked, DISPLAYED
careful and exhaustive research, and all
the cases were held under advisement
except two.
Safe v. Frank l. Burbee. This was
the case that was tri d last Decembtr
term. in which the respondent was &C
quilted on counts charging him with steal
ing two animals and convicted on the third
count for stealing bl eek steer in Read
ing. Exec ptions were taken and the cas-
was argued by States Attorney Stickney
for the prosecution and Gilbert A. Davis
for respondent. On Saturday, the court,
per Thompson, j., announced that they
found error in the trial before the jury
and set aside the conviction, and granted
Burbee new trial Subsequently, Judge
Marsh fixed the bail at 5000. The points
in the case were very important. The
question as to whether the jury are
judges of the law in criminal cases was
left undecided.
The only civil case decided was that OF
George p. Hassam v. Nelson Gays e>-
tate The judgment of the county court
giving plaintiff SlS7 81 and costs was af-
tirmed Hunton and Stickney for plaia-
tiff Wilson for defendant.
