Hon. Turner Boswell of Scion WAS in
town, Yesterday, and informed us that
pulp grinding will begin, full blast, at
the Moosehead Company's mill at Cara
funk Falls one week from next Monday,
the 24th instant. The company have
been making extensive repairs which are
now practically completed. They may
be able to start up in small way to try
the new machinery before the date
named above but not with anything like
a full crew The project of moving
some paper making machinery from
Haverhill, Mass, and running 1t there in
connection with the pulp plant is under
advisement but has not been fully de-
termined upon yet. A paper mill is very
likely to come later.

The treaty of Paris has been duly rati-
sed by the Spanish government, Presi-
dent Mckinley has been officially in
formed of the fact, the ratification has
been formally exchanged at Washing
ton and President Mckinley has issued
his proclamation to that effect. Thus
closes an event of great Importance to
this country and one causing extensive
changes in our national domain, Great
ing a diversity of opinion among our
people and opening new public issues.
We have won great victory with army
and navy and now the incidental prob
lens are being worked out in the terri
tory that came into our hands by reason
of this victory. The defeat of Spain
was accomplished with dispatch but the
other feature, in the order of exercises
Is necessarily wor& of time.

Changes in the School Law

The superintendent of schools wishes
to call attention to certain changes in
the school laws of the State, more es.
pecially relating to attendance. EVERY
child between the ages of and Is years,
inclusive, shall attend some public day
school during the time such school is in
session, provided he is not excused be-
cause of receiving equivalent instruction
for like period of time in an approved
private school, or further provided that
his phvsica or mental condition makes
it inexpedent for him to attend such
school,"
The parent or guardian as well as the
child is held responsible when this law
is violated. Sixteen weeks clears the
law no longer. Attendance is required
for the whole school year. 1t will be
appreciated if all parents or guardians
who find it impossible for their children
to attend school will confer with either
the school committee or superintendent.

were killed and four marines. Mataafa's
loss WAS forty killed ard a number
wounded, these being carried off the field
by the rebels when they retired. There
is constant lighting with the natives
around Apia and the life of no European
in the islands is safe. The odds were
great against our men and the fighting
was terrific, but they won.
