SELLING PEws FOR TAXES.

A notice appears upon the front door
OF the First Parish church which has
attracted considerable attention at a
distance, says the Portland Me-, Ar
gus. Upon close inspection the notice
proves TO be one of delinquent tax
sale. 1t is we'll known that the First
Parish clings to the old method of pew
ownership, in part at least. On the
pews that are owned, as on real estate
I'm the city. a certain proportion of the
parish revenue is laid annually in the
form OF taxes. In former times there
was not much attention paid TO this
matter of taxes. but for some years
past the parish has been trying 10 ac-
quire title to all of the pews, TO the end
that taxes may be abolished and rental
substituted therefor. For this reason
the collector has been looking very
sharply after delinquents. and each year
the parish has bid in and bought some
pews. The list this year includes some
dozen or more and they are to be sold
January Is If the unpaid taxes are not
paid in the meantime. When this lot of
pews is hidden in by the parish commit
tee there will be only about dozen
more that are owned by individuals.
and the prospect Is good that these will
be surrendered within a year or two, so
that IL Will become free church,where
any one may secure seats anywhere by
paying rental for them, instead OF in
the old fashioned way of owning pew
against all corners and holding Ii as a
man holds his house.

Oh O'S BIRTHDAY.

Ohio finds itself in a peculiar dilem-
ma. The state intends to celebrate the
centennial of its admission to the
union, but unfortunately, the date is
not known. The United States census
report gives November 90 1902, but this
is not final authority, nor, indeed. is IL
generally regarded as correct In Ohio.
nasmuch as most people there favor
holding the centennial celebration in
1903.
Ohio was like Topsy; it had no birth
day, and ii might almost be said that.
like Topsy also. the state just
growed." Either a distinct act for ad-
mission or provision for admission on
proclamation by the president was
made by congress in the case of each
state except Ohio, says the Chicago
Tribune. The act of May z. 1900, set
off that part of the Northwest terri
tory now included in Ohio as distinct
territorial government, and the rest
was organized as the territory of In
diana. The act of April 30. 1902. au-
thorized the people of Ohio to form a
state government, and a convention
held at Chillicothe on November | to
20. 1902, agreed upon a constitution
which went into force without approv-
al Dy popular vote. The constitution
was submitted TO congress In January,
1903, and on February 10, 1903. the presl-
dent approved the first act which rec
ognized the new state. This act OF
1903 did not purport to admit the state.
but declared that Ii has become one
OF the United States of America" and
provided for the extension of federal
laws to the new state.
Ohio historians differ as TO which
date should be recognized, but the
opinion is that the later day, February
19. 1903. is the date if the precedent in
admitting other states is To be recog
nized but the act of that
date asserts that Ohio was
then a state, and hence il must have
been one on November 30, 1902. The
question is one of those upon which
agreement is impossible, although the
date decided upon for the centennial
will make one or the other in some
degree official.

TITLES As CHRISTIAN NAMES.

A popular proprietor of a travelling
circus is known throughout Great Bril-
tain as Lord George Sanger" and l
remember reading on poster OF his a
few months ago, an account OF what
purported to be an Interview with the
queen after a performance given by
command at Windsor, says a writer
in Notes and Queries. At this inter-
view her majesty made amused inquiry
as to Mr.. Sanger's assumption OF title,
Mr.. Sanger replying that he was so
christened. Sir Squire Bancrofts is
another example OF a somewhat novel
Christian name. Major" Howe is a
well known London bootmaker, and
have come across several people who
would have ordinarily been known as
Mr.. q. Jones. Mr.. NJ. Smith. etc, who
were invariably referred to as General
Jones. Major Smith, etc.
Major" as Il Christian name is
somewhat inconvenient, for when his
friends speak of Major II. il is some
times thought that they are referring 20
a military man. A clergyman friend
told me some years ago that he refused
as baptismal names a string of titles
which was proffered by working man
as his selection of Christian names for
his child. My friend thus saved some
humble Jones or Robinson from having
to declare himself. whenever asked for
his name in full, to be Prince Duke
Earl Count Esquire.

ing TO friends in Holland an account
of his experiences at the battle Of Mod

confirmation given by him of that
strategic movement to the rear, for the
skjlful execution of which some OF the
Free Staters were reported to have
been afterward publicly whipped by
their ungrateful allies, says the Lon
