Those persons who are wont to complain
of the burden imposed upon the people by
the State tax should find a quietus in the
figures in Sundays issue showing the
amounts paid by each county as school fund
and the amount apportioned to it to ex-
pend for schools. Fifty-three of the ninety
two counties paid into the school fund a
smaller amount than they have been award
ed for expenditure. In several others the ex-
cess of their contributions over the amount
received is so small as to be of no conse-
quence. One county, whose representative
has been demanding that the burden i'm
posed by the State must be reduced, re-
ceived $3.50 more from the school fund than
it has contributed

THE ELLIS G GUARDIANSHIP.
The Case Now Before Judge Lawton of
Lowell.

A matter In which parties In Maine are
Interested on hearing in the probate court
ut Lowell, Mass, is before. Judge Law
ton.
In the latter part of 1898, Joseph Kills
and his wife Ellen, then residents OF
Bridgton, Me-. under a decree Of tho pro-
bate court for Cumberland county. adopt
cd an infant child Of Mrs. Ellis's broth
or and his wife, Mr.. ana Mrs Sharpe OF
Providence, X. l., at which time the
child was taken to Bridgton and has since
remained there; the.child, whose name
Is Evelyn Gertrude Ellis, being now of
the age Of about three years according to
the testimony.
In June last, while boarding in Lowell,
MIR and Mrs. Ellis died by the hand of
Mr.. Ellis. The child had been left by
them In Bridgton with Mrs. Warren,
with whom Ii had resided from the time
of its going 70 Bridgton in 1895. 1t was
shown that after the decease of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ellis certain petitions for the guar
dianship OF the child were filed IN the
probate court at Portland, one being filed
ny aAIh Nuifth Sho ~ @AAo. eAAHsPNf sss
natural mother of the child, and third
petition by Joseph II. Whitworth, police
officer of Lowell. and with whom Mr..
and Mrs. Ellis boarded at the time of
their decease. Upon these petitions a
hearing was had before Judge Peabody
ut Portland in December last. 1t ap-
peared from the testimony that Judge
Peabody had declined to appoint either
of the above petitioners as guardian
of the child, but had appointed ex6ov-
ernor Henry b. Cleaves of Portland; this
appointment having recently teen made.
MIR. whitworth not being satisfied with
the findings % he Maine court, fled his
petition for guardianship In the probate
court for Middlesex county, and the
hearing at Lowell is upon this petition.
MIR. Whitworth is represented by John
W. McAvoy OF Lowell, who appeared
also for him In the proceedings at Port
land and Stephen c. Perry of Portland,
ment of MIR. Whitwcrth. ana claimed that
the finding of the court in Maine and
the action there had, should be sustained.
There are several thousand dollars &c
which tina child is entitled under GER
tain certificates of Insurance. upon the life
OF MIR. Ellis.
From the testimony Of NJ. Whitworth
it appeared that he had known Mrs.
Hills some few months only and Mr.
Ellis for only about five weeks. and that
he had never seen the child and that
IL had never been within the jurisdiction
of the Massachusetts court
The proceeding were unfinished and
will be further heard in the probate
court at Cambridge.

WAsHiNoToN's BIRTHDAY.
The Dull weather Did Not Anect the
Celebration.

WASH ngton's birthday was one Of the
most di sagreeable rs far a. weather wa4
concerned, ms has been the case with

hung over the city, and occasionally a
little shower fell.

ings, but they hung limp and lifeless in
the heavy air. The city offices were
closed, but the county were open. Stores
to nightfall 1t was not much livelier than
Sunday.
The young psople were out with their
horns from an early hour and were In
evidence throughout the day. The theatre
drew couple Of big audiences.
In the evening the customary tar
bucket" carnival was observed at a great
er extent than for several years past. At
nightfail Congress street began to I'LL up
with crowd of boys, young men and
women, old men and even women Of
mature years each with horE, whistle,
a tin can with hole in the bottom,
through which string would be pulled,
making a horrible noise, COW bells, gonRs,
bugles. cymbsls and every kind Of an IN
strument that would make racket, the
louder the better. From City hall to High
street and return this procession marched
for three hours and more. making the
night hideous with their Internal din. 1t
was somewhat rough crowd at times,
but not disposed to be very disorderly.
Only one arrest was made during the eve
ming by the police. A boy was pushed
through the window of Monitors store
on Congress street. but this was the only
act of vandalism Of the evening that was
reported. On the side streets huge bon
fires lighted up the sky for miles around
and every corner bad It's blazing pile
around which the youngsters danced and
capered In great glee. Tar bucket night
was duly and httingly celebrated and 1t
was not until after midnight that the
sound Of the tin horn died away.

MANY APPLICATIONS.
Requests for Positions in New
Volunteer Regiments.

Washington, Aug. 30.-With about
100 commissioned places yet to fill in
the ten new regiments under organiza-
ton, Secretary Root finds himself over
whelmed with applications, even great
er in number than the sum total of
those received at the beginning of the
Spanish-American war.
1t is said at the war department that
the large majority of the men who held
commissions in the volunteer army in
that war are again applicants for serv-
ice in the Philippine campaign, reen-
forced by nearly all of those who held
noncommissioned places. This same
willingness to reenter the service is said
to be observable among the enlisted
men.
Secretary Root has resolved to enter
tain no personal applications for COM
missions and insists upon all being prof.
fered through the regular channels.
Although recruiting for the ten new
volunteer regiments has not yet been
actively started in all parts of the coun-
try, 2,764 men have already been Sc
cured for these regiments.

Two years ago the'state ofIowa paid
s2.5s per 100 pounds for the book paper
used in the state publications. This
year it pays it pays $3.50 cents for ex-
actly similar grade, says the State
Press. Says a republican paper.
Members of the executive council say
the trust is responsible for the advance.
AS the state used about 100, 900 pounds
in the last two years the trust pockets
over 1900 on this bit of prosperity
from single customer, and the peo-
pie of Iowa pay the bill. No wonder
