To those of our readers who
take an interest in official salar-
les, matters of taxation and kim
dred subjects. the subjoined
statement showing the salary al
lowances made by the commits
sioners of the q counties of the
state, should afford some sober
entertainment. This list was
published in last weeks issue.
The Pocatello Advance, speaking
on this matter, says
1T will be observed that the
scale of salaries slides from the
maximum to the minimum pro-
visions of the governing law in
its treatment of nearly every
office. 1t will be further observ-
ed that in two instances-Ada
and Kootenai counties-the com
missioners touched the maximum
i in their own favor; that in five
. other counties-Bannock, FIRE.
mont, Latah, Shoshone and Nez
Perce-they allowed themselves
$500, and in Blaine they touched
the till button for $940. 1t will
also be discovered that Oneida
county comes nearest touching
the minimum limit and Kootenai
county the maximum altitude.
''In Kootenai county all the
officers except the surveyor, are
: given the maximum. There is
) no county in which the minimum
has been fixed for all the officers,
Oneida being nearest to it.

THE DEACON WENT ASTRAY.
fn Handing the Parson the Proper
 Amount of Money.

Another church catastrophe. Ir court again. This morning Sam Patton and $. A. Wiley. colored, both of St. Bethlem church on the Star City road, were arres ted for dis turbing religious worship. They were brought before Judge Vance and will have their hearing on Janu- sary ?. 1900.
 What constituted their offense of disturbing religious worship is as follows: On December 17th at the churcha big meeting was being held. there being three hundred colored people in the congregation. Deacon Wiley was the collector. For the morning and evening service he got in the collection box the sum of sS5.50.
 1t is the duty after collecting and after the parson is through exhort- ing the congregation to prayer for the deacon toeome forward and give the parson the money. Deacon Wiley walked to the front and handed Parson Edwards bali of the collec- tion, whereupon Edwards shouted, Hand it over, Brother Wiley." Brother Wiley refused to do this however, and during the church con- troversy, which was now on in earn est, the congregation began to leave the church; finally no one was pres ent but the deacon and the parson. Nor this effense of not handing the parson the other half of the money and making Parson Edwards get in- to controversy, thus causing the l congregation to leave the church, so | Edwards says, he had a warrant is- sued for the arrest of Sam Patton | and Deacon $. A. Wiley. It looks, | apparently, that it is another case of "The Deacon went astray." Both | are out Gn their own rfcogniZanee. |

KEYLESS LOCK.
Is the Latest Innovation Proposed for
 Postoffice Boxes.

Washington Times: There is more than $400,000 of the peoples money locked up in postoffice keys, each and every keyholder being required to put up with the postmaster a deposit for his key, the amount deposited being re- turned when the box is given up and rent paid. Postmasters are required to keep strict account of the key de- posit fund, while the postoffice depart ment here has a regular division set apart for keeping this account. As a postal official puts it, there is a great deal of trouble and no money in the transactions, and the final outcome of the trial of the keyless locks which are to be tried in the principal offices of the country is eagerly looked for The department has long wanted a key less lock. but none of the lock inyen- tions until the present was regarded as in any way calculated to prove ae- ceptable. Contracts have been made will first be tried in New York, Bos- ton, Philadelphia, Chicago and St. Louis, as the largest and most impor- tant offiees,a and then in St. Paul. Minn.; Cleveland, Ohio; Hartford, Conn; Madison, Wis, and Rockford, III. These offices will be fitted out as soon as the factory can complete the mak- Ing of the boxes. If they prove in every way satisfactory to the department and to the patrons they will be placed in offices throughout the country, but not to the entire exclusion of the lock boxes. It is the belief of the postofice department that the keyless box will prove a blessing.

HIS GRAVE NEGLECTED.
The Resting Place of Charles Dickens Is
 Virtually Unmarked.

SGGuailT CD markeu.
 From the London Mail: The sugges- ton has been made that a monument to Charles Dickens should be erected fin one of the public places of this city. It is not at all likely that the proposal, however warmly it might be supported by the English people, will ever be carried into effect, for any such scheme of perpetuation would be In direct op- position to the expressed wish of the novelist, who desired by his work alone to live in the heart of his countrymen. The will of Charles Dickens, from which the following lines are taken, very clearly expressed the masters wishes: "I eonjure my friends, on no account, to make me the subject of any monument, memorial or testimonial whatever. I rest my claims to the re- membrance of my country upon my published works and to the remem- branee of my friends upon their ex- perienee of me in addition thereto" ]" To this wish the members of the fami- ly have always given the strongest adherence and have already discoun. tenanced and will continue to discour- age any attempt to set the provision of the will at nanght. Some years ago Edwin ElweIl, gifted American sculp- tor, completed in marble a full-leEgtb portrait figure of the novelist, with Little Nell looking upward to the face of her creator. This charming group the sculptor offered to the London county council for erection in some suitable place in London, but owing to the attitude of the family, who. out of respect to the wishes of the novelist, refused to countenance the movement, the offer was declined. In these cir cumstances it is hardly probable that any memorial, at least of a public char aeter, will be attempted.

NAMES BIRCH TREES.
oonstabIes Responsible for Their Origin
 in That State.


 in That State.
 Norway (Maine1 Correspondence of the New York Times: Since the paper makers commenced to build big sul- phite mills in the Maine woods the price of spruce timber lands has doubled, and in some cases trebled. Next to spruce, the timber in greatest demand is clean and thrifty white birch, which is sawed into bars and sent by the shipload to Scotland to be used for thread spools. Nearly all the factories in the United States, and more than half of those in Great Brit ain, obtain their spool stock from Maine. According to 4. 4. Burleigh Of Houlton, Maine, who has spent the best part of his life in the woods as a lumber operator, Maine's birch trees are due to the spiteful conduct of two employees of the Maine land office. Some French Canadians in 1920 squat ted on state land near the Penobscot river and defed all efforts to eject them. Finally, in 1925, two special constables were sent to the place from the land office in Augusta, with in- structions to make clean job of eyict- Ing the Frenchmen. The constables, after turning the families out, set fire to the houses and haystacks. Twelve hours later the French village was & smoking mass of ashes, and the big gest forest fire ever known in the state was sweeping north, burning off more than fifty townships of old-growth pine and doing more than $10,000,000 damage to the state lands. Many square miles of hackmatack timber were also burned over, the fire eating ten feet into the black peat logs that had been accommodating for years and years. It is tradition that. after crossing Aroostook county, the fire leaped the St. John river and swept over New Brunswick, terminating In the destruction of Miramichi, where l2O persons perished. The survivors were forced to flee into the Gulf Of St. Lawrence, where they stood neck deep in the water for two days and night, while deer, caribou, moose, bears and wolves swan around them, seeming to seek protection from their enemies. After the fire had burned itself out and the land had absorbed the alkali of the ashes, about 5000, 900 acres came up to wild cherry and white birch saplings. For more than ten years the two species struggled for control of the territory. Then the black knot, which had been imported from Europe, killed off the wild cherry trees, giving the birches the right of way. About 50,000,000 board feet Of spool bars are now shipped out of Maine every year and the supply is still large.

WITH A FINE AUDIENCE
Auspicious Opening of the Uni
versity Commencement.
A LECTURE BY EISENBERG
A Mastery Effort by the Butte Rabbi.
"shylock" Was the Subject of
His Address Diplomas
Presented.

Missoula, June 1.-The 1899 COM
mencement exercises of the state uEs-
versity opened tonight most suspicious
ly. Seldom has finer audience ever as
sembled in this city than the one thai
filled the university hall tonight to
listen to the lecture by Rabbi Eisen-
berg of Butte, whose subject was Shy
lock-" The lecture was the annual adj
dress before the university literary So
cieties. the Clarkia and the Hawthorne.
The hour announced for the lecture was
$50, but long before that time the
drive to the university was thronged
with people and the spacious hall of the
university was crowded when Rabbi
Elsenberg was escorted to the platform
by the officers of the literary societies.
line members of the graduating class
occupied seats on the platform with the
speaker and society officers When the
distinguished speaker appeared he re-
ce1ved f1attering ovation. Rounds of
applause greeted him and he was as
sured sympathetic audience.
A resume of the lecture has already
appeared in the Standard, the occasion
being the delivery of this strong adj
dress in Butte. Space and the lateness
of the hour forbids any present attempt
to give summary of the lecture. II
was a powerful production and splen-
didly delivered. Dr. Eisenberg is one of
the most pleasing platform speakers
that has ever appeared in this city.
While his Interpretation of the most ia
nous Jewish character in dramatic lit
erature may differ somewhat from the
Characterization of Shylock which is
accepted by many as the correct one,
there was no one in the large audience
at the university who heard his philo-
sophical analysis of the remarkabl
character and the able discussion of
the race represented by the Venetian
Jew who did not appreciate the force of
the arguments advanced. There are
two great interpretations of Shylock.
One causes the auditor to despise the
Jew and the other induces pity. Every
student of Shakespeare has his own
idea as to which of these interpreted
tons is correct. Perhaps Rabbi Eisen-
berg changed the opinion of some who
listened to him tonight. Even if he
did not, there was no one who heard
him who did not thoroughly enjoy and
appreciate the lecture.
At the conclusion of the address Miss
Edna Greenough, president of the
Clarkia society, presented to the grad
uating members of that society their
society diplomas. There We're three la
dies who received these-Misses Zoe
Bellew, Louise Hathaway and Helen
McCrackin. President Guy Sheridan of
the Hawthorne society presented a
diploma from that organization to
Charles Pixley, the graduating member.
At the conclusion of these exercises
the library of the university was opened
and visitors were requested to inspect
the rooms Many availed themselves of
the opportunity and all We're much
pleased.
