A portion of the boardwalk was
crushed in during the rescue Of the

REVENUE RULING.
Stamps On Deeds Must Be Cancelled
Before Instrument is Filed.

REGISTER of Deeds Frank Stevens has
1ust received from the internal revenue
bureau at Washington information con-
corning a new ruling regarding the use
of war stamps on deeds and other docu-
ments, which is of interest to the gen
eraI public The ruling says:
Recorders or registers of deeds are
not allowed to affix or cancel stamps
where there has been a complete de-
livery of the instrument before it reaches
the hands of the recorder or register.
1.-The unqualified requirement of the
law is that every instrument subject to
taxation shall have affixed and can
ceIed the proper stamp before the in
strument is issued or delivered; and if
the instrument has been delivered with
out being stamped before reaching your
hands, this office could not assume leg
islative functions and alter the law to
permit you to stamp the instrument
when the requirements of law are other
WISE
Heretofore Mr.. Stevens has been
keeping a large supply of revenue
stamps at his office for the convenience
of the public, and when instruments
have been presented for filing without
being stamped he has put the stamp
on and charged the price of the stamp
in with the fee, but the ruling of the
department stops this practice. The
object is to compel the grantor to pay
for the stamp.

MANY NEW MILLS
For Manufacture of Textile FabricsAre
Being Started.

Boston, Aug. 1O-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter says.
The first half of the year 1899 has
slightly surpassed the last half of 1898
in the number of new and proposed tex
tile enterprises entered into in the Unit
ed States. Thus the total number of
new enterprises launched in the first
six months of this year was 116, against
1O7 in the last half of 1898, and So in
the first half of 1898. The south con-
tinues to hold the lead in new mill con-
struction and the number of new enter
prises compares favorably with those of
any previous year for a long time. The
number of new enterprises in the north
is considerably greater than that of the
last half of 1898, but it is decidedly less
than the first half of that year. The
record of engagements and improve
ments shows up very favorably as COM
pared with last year.
The textile mills of this country are
today running full blast, almost with
out exception. and more new machinery
has been ordered during the past six
months than for a like period in many
years. One result is that the various
machine shops are enjoying a period Of
remarkable prosperity, several of them
being oVerrun with orders. so that it is
necessary to work a portion of the night
to fill them. The Lowell machine shops,
for instance, are said to have 1850
