Oscar Hammerstein Is the most daring,
most ingenious, most pertinacious and
most resourccful individual ever connect

Of well 10 do parents and came over 20 this

paratively short time for 100000 Some
time afterward he invented u cigar max

has turned out numerous other inventions
which have been almost uniformly sue

though he was ridiculed for his alleged

of the Columbus thcater, n cheaper priced

May Marriages.

1t is usually supposed that May Is al
unpropitiouS month for marriages, ant
this view is generally sustained by the of
fetal figures. In Great Britain, where the
figures are carefully kept, of 1900 mar
riages in a year the even average pei
month would be 100. Instead of thi:
June, the favorite month for marriages,
stands at the head with ia. January
comes next with 100, December with 1879,
July with 124, November with ia, and
SO on down to February with 20, May
bringing up the rear with 40. In Germany
April is the favorite month, and October
comes second. In Hungary February is
the favorite month, and November comes
second. In Greece October comes first,
January second; in Italy February first,
November second; in France April first
and January second; i'm Sweden Novem-
Der first, December second.
In Russia the curious fact is noted that
two months-March and November, CORE
spending to our Easter time and Christ.

riages, these being the average figures on
the basis of !, 200 in year: February, 27O;
January, $50; October, 1856; November,
IA; March, 12; December, 9. The aver
age duration of marriages is highest in
Russia, 30 years, and least in Holland, 90
years. The average marrying age of wom
ell in Russia is 81 years, and in Holland
% years, which accounts for this differ
ence.

(The following is an abstract of the dis
cussion in regard to resolve in favor of
the town of Marion, which was neces-
sarily omitted from yesterdays report.)
On motion of Mr.. Gilbert of Canton,
the resolve was taken from the table.
Mr.. Gilbert of Canton said that he moved
the indefinite postponement of the bill.
MY reasons are these If the gentlemen of
this House will take into consideration the
amount of funds that have been asked of
this State since this session opened,
amounting to over $500, 900, for private
and special legislation, regular appropra-
tions, they will see that we are not under
obligations to go to work and appropriate
money to the support and maintenance of
roads in the different counties. If there
is a town in the county Of Washington or
Oxford that has got road that it is I'M
able to support, they will find that under
chapter 6, section 80 of the Revised
Statutes they will find relief. don't be-
lieve that we have any right ito go to
work and help maintain roads in the diff
ferent counties of this State. think it
is the policy of this State for each and
every county to take care of itself. There
fore move the indefinite postponement
of the bill.
Mr.. Mccullough of Calais said that he
wished to say few words as member
of the committee reporting this bill. 1t
has been the policy Of the State in years
gone by to make these small appropria-
tions, small to the State, but large in i'm
portance to these small towns to which
they are granted. trust the State will
carry out the policy that has been inaugu-
rated The amount is only $3.50 in the
years of 1898 and 1S96-s500 in all. This
town Of Marion is composed of n few peo-
pie They have a large amount of roads
to keep up. Is miles, think, and only 80
legal voters The amount is so small
that hope the members of this House
will grant it almost unanimously, if not
unanimously. The section the gentleman
(NIr Gilbert) refers to relates to unincor-
porated places and not to towns.
sincerely hope, gentlemen. that you
will not vote down IA precedent that has
been established by this State in granting
these small appropriations to these poor
towns.
Mr.. Gilbert said that if this was the
only appropriation coming before this

Last year it was cents and mill. The
new school laws make our taxes very
much higher because we do not get enough
to support our schools. We get from
he State the small sum of $S7 81 and our
State tax is s73 50, only leaving us s13. ~
for the benefit of our schools The law
requires us to raise 80 cents per inhabi-
tant, which gives us the small sum of $72
In order to run our school and give each
scholar 90 weeks schooling we have to tax
ourselves very high to comply with the
law. We have done so for one year, for
we had an over-lay of 800 by raising S125
in addition. This year we have no over
lay and we shall be obliged to raise some
5000 for schools and the same amount for
our roads which we have been raising,
and it will make our per centage some
thing like cents or over ON valuation
that will not sell today at its valuation.
think, gentlemen, our town has been
very modest, because we have never asked
anything before, and we only ask for
$500 to aid us on these roads. l wish to
say there are two county roads running
the whole length of our town. They do
not go straight and these two roads. to-
gcther with branch road, makes Is miles
of roads in ALL One of these is n direct
stage route travelled by the pubic, be-
cause we do not have railroads there, and
mails go twice day. An express goes
through that town from Eastport, Penn
broke and other towns cast of Machias
We have to keep these roads open and it
is great burden aud we only ask for the
small sum of $500, aud I hope these
gentlemen will consider us
Mr.. Gilbert of Canton said that he had
no objections to this road / have no
objection to this resolve except this:
This is the first one that has been intro
duccd in this House for roads and bridges.
