 Mr. John ". Dickinson, secretary of the Massachusetts State board of education for the past seventeen years, has resigned. His action is understood to be caused by what Is called the Harvard inAuepca, his ides being that the public school system should be complete in itself. end thst the object should be to look especially after the in- terests of the large number of the youth of the State, who must get in the public schools all their fitting for undertaking the active duties of life, while the Hsr- yard idea has been, roughly speaking, to make the public schools tenders to the col leges.
 By some mistake in surveying, Martin Barron of New York city built four-story apartment house on lot that was not his, and then sold both house and lot without discovering the error. Mrs. Mary Williams owns the lot and she only discovered that there was house on it when her tax as- sessmsnt came in for $8, 500 instead of $500, as for the past four years. The owner of the misplaced house is Mrs. Ellen Shanks, who also occupies part of 1t, but she is uneasy in her possession for she does not know whether she will bs permitted to move her house off from the other woman's lot or whether she will have to move and leave the house there.
 A United States senator says to the Bos- ton Journal correspondent: Iknow 1t to be fact that, at the time Secretary Gresham gave out his famous letter for publication, he said to an Indiana friend that the de- posed queen was already on the throne. He did not make the statement ss prob lemstical, or as in any way dependent upon conditions. He stated it ss certainty. And undoubtedly 1t was supposed by both the president and Judge Gresham that the restoration had been accomplished. It was to prepare the public mind for this that the letter was made public voluntarily by the administration. I know it to bs fact also that within 8 week Secretary Gresham has stated to another friend that he did not now expect the quaen would be re- stored.
 Travellers from Alaska arriving in Wash ington and Oregon ports in the past week or two bring news of the contiAued terrible ravages of the grip and pneumonia, the latter superinduced by the grip, among the Indians of the Arctic province.

Old people among the Indians are dying by scores, and the death rate is as high ss 15 per cent. of those afflicted, Medicine dances have been held in many places in hope of stop ping the spread of the disease. A govern ment steamer with physicians and medi- cines is to be sent up the coast by the Canadian government to give gid to the natives.

Inroads on the Maine Forests.

kfEoih the AueusNA NMe-D JOuTuaA
 That person who believes the Maine for ests are holding their own against the In rosds of the iumbermen is likely to be dis appointed when the next report of Forest Commissioner Oak Is made public The collection of facts which are essential to 6 comprehensive understanding of the wild lands and forests of this state has been one of the features which Mir. Oak has taken up and psrsisten,ly carried forward since coming to his present office. Last spring he employed an expert to make measurements of lumber in different parts of the state for the purpose of establish ing beyond doub. the Tates of growth in different localities and sn average rate of growth. These facts being known, slso the valuation of the timber lands and the amount annually cut off, the rate of de- pletion of the forests can be ascertained with a great degree of accuracy. The cate, 1t is believed, much more rapid de- crease of the forests than would at first be supposed. The commissioner would not attempt to say now what the rate would be, but told the reporter, "You may gay that the statistics thus far obtained indi- cate that the decrease in the amount of lumber In the state will be matter of sur prise." Of course events are likely to oc- cur to modify in the future these percent sges This coming winter, for instance, will zee much less lumber taken from the forests than usual.

NOT SOLID FOR FREE TRADE. Once the South was pretty solid for free trade, and MT. Henry Watterson ia still solid for 1t. But there has been a change in the South since the industries became more diversified and more like the indus tries of the North. Therefore the south is not solid for the Wilson bill. The Manu. lecturers Record of Baltimore is publish ing some pertinent and interesting protests against the bill. One correspondent writes from Birmingham, Alabama, that business Is reviving and that ''but for the fear of free coal and free ore, now widely spread among all classes of people, the future would wear 8 very rosy aspect, indeed" W. Welch, president of the Castle Rock Mining Com pany, of Roanoke, Virginia, writes that free iron ore and coal will work great dis. advantage to Southern manufacturers. He says the South will grow industrially rich and strong eff allowed to enjoy fair competition with the latent wealth of the country" and concludes as follows: It Is suggested by some theorists that to bring Cuban orea to the South would enable the use of large deposits of low-grade ores to be worked that otherwise are not merchant able. contend that such infraction of principle is quite uu-American, as we have in southwest Virginia alone larger deposits of high-grade ores awaiting operations than any yet operated. In fact, if such measures as free iron ore and coal are adopted we will have taken longer step toward pauperizing the largest number of honest, hard-working American breadwin- ners than any other course could accom- pl;sh, and 1t will, If pursued, bring the labor of America to the level of over-popu- lated Europe.
 The San Antonio (Texas) Express thus comments upon the contradictory srgu- ments of the tariff reforraers: ''There is 8 false note somewhere in the freq trade song. Raw materials are to be placed on the free list SO as to enable the American manufacturer to reduce cost of production and grab the worlds markets That Is the song sung in the East, In the West and South the story is that raw materials will be enhanced in price by being placed on the free list. It Is evident that the advo- cates of the Wilson bill are either lying to the eastern millmen or to the Texas sheep. men," It will be evident by and by that they are lying to both. Their bill is one that demands good deal of lying from its advocates.
