SO far as | have been able to ascer-
tain. the causes of suicide in China are
not, as in Europe, profound melan-
cholia. heavy losses or disappointment
in love, but chiefly revenge and the de-
sire to inflict serious injury on another.
Suicide enables a Chinese to take q
truly terrible Yevenge, for he believes
that his spirit will Indignantly haunt
and injure the living, and the desire to
save suicides life arises in most cases
not from humanity, but from the hope
of averting such a direful catastrophe.
If master offends his servant or
makes him 'lose face" or Il shopkeeper
his assistant or apprentice, the surest
revenge Is to die on the premises. for it
not only involves the power of haunt
ing and Of inhictins daily injuries. but
renders 1t necessary that the body
should lie where death occurs until an
official inquiry is made, which brings
into the house the scandal and turmoil
of visit from mandarin with body
of officials and retainers.
1t is quite common for man or wo-
man to walk into the courtyard of a
person against whom he or she has a
grudge and take fatal dose of opium
there to insure these desirable results!

Stella Mae Boucher.

After a long Illness extending over
three years, which she has borne with
christian fortitude, Miss Stella Mae,
youngest daughter Of Joseph Fl. and
Addie G. Boucher, passed away March
End aged "a years, months and 20 days.
She drew around her by her sweet
and lively disposition, a large circle "f
friends, ALL who were deep mourners
when they learned of her death, being
possessed naturally of cheerful and
hopeful spirit; she did not cease to
mingle with her friends outside of her
home until short time ago. The
visits or calls Of her friends were always
highly appreciated, and seasons Of
pleasure to her and them. Every atten-
ton shown her, however small, was so
thankfully received and acknowledged,
that all felt it great pleasure to do for
her. The last weeks of her life were
days of suffering and extreme weakness. :,
yet she never murmured.
The funeral took place from the
home Of her parents, Monday afternoon
at O'Clock. There was a large attel :
dance of relatives and friends.
The services were conducted by Rev.
Fred A. Litch assisted by Rev. j. Fl.
Roberts and there was special music by
quartette. A delegation from Ivy
Rebekah Lodge, Of which deceased was
a member, attended the services.
The floral offerings were abundant
and beautiful; crescent and star from
Ivy No. 8; cross of roses from Hex
gon club, large crescent from shop
mates, large wreath from cousins,
pillow from brothers and sisters and
bouquets of roses, pinks, and choice
flowers to the number of forty pieces.
Besides her parents there are left to
mourn her loss, a sister Mrs. John Fl.
Henry and brother, Mr.. Edward c.
Boucher, both of Portland, and friend.
The interment was at Browns Hill. ="

Voted to light the bridges as usual.
1t was voted that the appropriation for
Coburn Park be expended by the park
commissioners and Mrs. Sarah Eaton,
whose term expired this year, was re-
elected to serve on the board for 3 years.
The matter of election of superin-
tendent of schools was left with the
school committee, also the matter Of
uniting with Madison In the employment
Of superintendent.
The article relative to the construction
of a sewer on Madison avenue to enter
Cold Brook was passed over.
The matter of moving the school
houses as recommended by the school
committee was left with the committee
and the selectmen were authorized to
pay any expenses, incurred by the COM
mittee in this work, from any unexpend-
ed balances remaining in their hands.
The discussion upon the proposition to
provide an appropriation for teaching
music In the schools was the most enter
tanning of the day. Incidentally the in
question. First by slight applause In

moved an amendment increasing the sum
to 81, 900 and 1t was carried with enthu-
siasm and without dissent.
A list of jurors presented by the mu-
nicpal officers was submitted, read by
the clerk and accepted to the number of
over 100, to be placed 10 the juror box.
A. |. Sawyer asked to have his rame
omitted from the list and it was so voted
by the town.
The appropriations voted by the town,
Monday, are $3,675. In excess of those
wholly for schools and sewers.
The State and county tax will be about
the same as last year, but the amount u
be paid on loans will be $1,000 less.
Therefore the amount for which the lax
will be assessed will be about 90 800
larger than last year. This Is more than
accounted for in the one matter of ap-
preparations for schools.
Skowhegan voters agaiu exhibited
their loyalty to the schools of the town.
They usually do when they have oppo-
tunity and the case is fairly presented.
There were several surprises 10 town
meeting, Monday. The first was the
election of DR.. Charles V r chards as
town clerk in place Of Geo. 8. Webb,
who had served AS town clerk very ac-
ceptably for 10 years. The vote stood

The closeuess of the vote for first on
the board of selectmen was another SUI
prise. John W. Gage received 296 and
l.. G. Emery. 307.
1t took two ballots to elect the second
on the board of selectmen. The first
ballot stood, Geo. l.. Nay, 70; j. w.

second ballot gave Gage, 235 votes and
