A Brick Sidewalk

A movement has at last been made by
the city authorities in the direction of bet
ter sidewalks. At the meeting of the
board Of aldermen last Monday evening /,
was voted to construct brick sidewalk
from the corner of Main and State street.
10 the Giles block, distance Of about p:
feet.
This walk is to be seven feet wide, with
granite curbing seven inches wide. An
eight-foot sidewalk is, for the main
streets of this city. not an inch too wide.
and it is to be hoped that the brick walk
will be laid at least five inches wider than
the seven feet proposed.
Since the public announcement of the
intention to build this walk, there have
been many queries as to why 1t is not to
be laid to the entrance to Hales stable
instead of stopping at the Giles block.
There appears to be two reasons for this :
first, the expense of the proposed walk is
as great as the aldermen feel justified in
mourning at present; second, just beyond
the Giles block is the large drain or brook
that runs diagonally across the city-the
old Emerson brook, emptying into the
river just below the bridge. To span this
in order to make proper foundation for
the sidewalk would make the expense
greater than seems justinable at present.
We are informed that it is the intention
of the sidewalk committee to build the
stretch decided upon in the most approved
fashion, taking every precsution to pre-

School Board Meeting.

The regular meeting Of the school board wa.
held in the Office OF the clerk Of courts las,
Monday afternoon. Supervisor E. W. Lord
presented the following report:
Gentlemen Of the School Committee.
] herewith submit my report of the pas,
months work among our schools: All the
sehools-swenty four in number-are now in SEES
sion, twenty eight teachers being employed The
amount of teachers wages for the term will
amount to s2l53-5o. The number of scholars I'm
the city, according to the census taken last month
Is go gain of twenty three over last year
AZ directed by the board wrote to the State
superintendent in relation to the scholars attend
ing school in Ellsworth from Plantation No s,
and he notified me that they could not be includ
ed in our school census.
In what was district No. 20. found but three
scholars to attend school, and as they could with
out difficulty go to the school at Happytown. /
directed them to do so.
The primary school at the Fails Is so over
crowded that several Of the children have been
seated In the grammar school-r room, and it seemed
necessary that assistant be placed there, which
has accordingly been done. recommend that the
school be divided, and an intermediate grade be
established there at once.
nope That the board will take some action at
this meeting in regard to combining the CONNER
cial school and the high school, as was recon-
meDded by Mr.. Knowiton in his annual report
If this is to be DONE it should be attended to at
once.
In closing viii say that all the schools which
/ have visited are apparently doing good work.
and we have reason to anticipate u profitable
year.
1t was decided that the whole committee
should examine the schooLrooms ut the Falls
with view to establishing an intermediate
grade there.
1t was voted to combine the commercial
school with the high school, provided the
board Of aldermen would place the dwelling
house on the high school lot ct the disposal Of
the committee.
The board then adjourned to meet June 4,
unless sooner called In special session.

OBITUARY..
MRS. ANNIE WAKEFIELD TAYLOR.

MRS. ANNIE WAKEFIELD TAYLOR.
Mrs. Taylor was the daughter Of the late
Elisha Wakefield and the widow OF Frederick
7. Taylor OF Portland. She was born In
September. 1858, being nearly thirty-six years
OF age at the time OF her death, which occurred
in this city. April %. Nearly three years ago
she was married aud lived IN Portland. But
not many months passed before failing health
compelled MIR. Taylor TO 90 to Colorado. Mrs.
Taylor was not able TO bear so long a journey
TO accompany him.
But Colorado failed to restore his health.
aud Mrs. Taylor hsd not oniy the sorrow OF
his death but OF being away from him when
he died. Doubtless his death FASTENED hers.
And vet u strong will sustained her for about
4 year and half. Her suffering was such that
many times she could only wish to die, and yet
she chung strongly to life Very patiently she
bore her long sickness, She delighted In the
words Of the hymn;

Miss Maxey turned the knob of thu.
door leading from this area into the.
house. Tho door was fast, What matter,
then, if it were cold and dark? She was.
at least secure from observation, and il.
she had ransacked the whole neighbor-
hood in search of convenient location
from which to have watched the adjoin-
ing front steps she could not have se-
cured better than the one upon which
she had thus accidentally stumbled. She
left the entrance slightly unclosed that
she might look out and sat down upon
the wooden step with her back against
the inner door.
The time passed, and the snow fell. 10
fell so thickly that it muftied the sounds
of footsteps i'll the street above. People
came and went. 1t grew dark. A boy
with patent torch lighted the lamp in
front Of the brownstone steps. Miss Max
ey's limbs were cramped and cold. Il
seemed as though the minutes lengthen-
ed themselves to hours, the hours grew
to be days, and still there was no APP
pearance Of the forlorn hat and the
threadbure coat upon the neighboring
threshold. The carts rumbled in the
street. The man who had gone with the
horses came back. The snow fell on, anS
still no Dye
If Miss Maxey's brain had not been SO
busy with exciting speculation and dar-
ing plans for the future, if she had not
had so fascinating a problem to deal
with in trying to locate the face-of that
elder woman who drove somewhere in
her own uneyentful past, the time would
doubtless have seemed SO long that She
would scarcely have had the courage to
wait, but it takes some obstacles to
break the endurance Of such girl as
this.
