An adjourned session of the school
board was held in No. 1 building last
evening. Messrs. Wilson, Bronson,
fWebber, Spencer and Kellam were
present The object Of the meeting
was to try and settle the tax dupli-
Gates of ex-Tax Collector T. f. Boland
for the years of '94 '95 and '96. The
secretary, as instructed by the board
at the previous meeting, had seen his
attorneys, Messrs. Willard, Warren and
Knapp, and read their opinion.
IL stated that If the account for the
above years remained unpaid It Is the
duty of ,he present school board to
take the matter in hand and settle
them. Also, If the tax collector is not
able to collect the tax from the tax
able. then II becomes the duty to re-
turn the property and that may be sold
for the collection of the tax. The per-
sonal property of the taxable or the
personal property upon premises Is
liable to be distrained for the pay
inent of taxes. 1t matters not whose
personal property it is, so long as il
Is upon the premises. All this is sci
out in the tax collectors warrants and
there snouid be no difficulty in the
tax collector following the law. If he
will read his warrant he will find ex.
actly how he is to collect his tax.
The tax collector should collect al
the taxes on his duplicate within a veal
and then these questions about the
change of ownership would not occur
Also, that the school board has not the
power to compel the auditors to per
form their duties. The auditors are in
dependent officers and are responsible
for the faithful performance of theii
duties. Instructed by this opinion ant
after going carefully over the dupli
cates,l the board exonerated such a,
they saw fit.

The Loving Cup.

From the Shoe and Leather Reporter
The loving cup is a historical emblem.
In the middle ages at the close OF AN en-
tertainment the parting guest was pre-
sented with spiced drink in a large bowl,
just as he was mounting his horse. 1t
was called the "stirrup cup Sometimes
when the friendship between host and
guest was pretense and not a reality
,the drink las poisoned, or perhaps
while drinking the guest was murdered.
These were frequent occurrences among
Italian mobiles, and to put stop Ia them
tho clergy introduced the loving cup,
which had three handles. Two of these
were grasped by the host, who drank first
10 show that the liquor was not pois-
oHed. The guest then took the cup by
the third. The host released one han
die, the right stll holding one, so that he
might help raise the cup and incidentally
so that his right hand might be too busy
to draw sword or dagger. When the
guest had drunk the host released the
cup, which was passed to the next one,
The monks in early times named this Jhe
'pocula caritatis." or Cup of Love. IL
was filled with wine with piece of toast
floating therein and circulated from right
10 left around the table. Hence the
phrase drinking a toast"
