Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1901-11-20

The distress warrant issued by late City
Treasurer Higgins against Tax Collector
Roscoe Holmes for 1900 tax, was return
able Friday. A statement submitted by
Collector Holmes showed that he had
succeeded in collecting about half
the uncollected taxes in his hands at the
time the warrant was issued. On this
showing, it was decided to issue another
allies extending the time for returning
balance of taxes for 1900 three months.
Collector Holmes promises that delin-
quent taxpayers will pay within the
three months, or take the consequences.
He must resort to severe measures to save
himself from an unpleasant predicament.
The distress warrant issued against Tax
Collector H. F. Whitcomb for the 1899 tax
is returnable on Friday Of this week. He
also will make a good showing in collec-
tions for the past three months, and it is
probable that an alias will be issued ex-
tending his time for collection of the bal
ance three months.

Letter to Frank Moore,

Dear Sir 1t is your business to know what
materials to put into house as well as to plan
it. OF course you know the effect of zinc on
lead in paint-toughens it, Do you also know
the greater effect of zinc ground IN?
For painter can't grind; he can only mix.
Devoe lead and zinc is thoroush y ground In
oil. The result Is an intimate mixture.
Your painter can only mix; he can't grind;
there's no need of grinding by hand. He
should buy lead and zinc ground together in Oh
Devoe lead and zinc is that; the ,.ropoTttons
are right besides. 1t outlasts lead and oil two
to one, and costs no more-even less; for hand
work can't compete with machine-work.
Yours truly,

How Do You Know

those baking powders are made

Their lower price, their unfamil-

But it is not necessary for you
to know. You know that Royal

A Fortunate Puss.

Mrs. COady, who teaches a primary
school at Oakland, Cal. is very proud
Of a remarkable cat which she keeps
alive through general subscription
among her pupils During several
years experience Mrs. Coady has
found that the only way she can
reach the infantile heart is through
kindness to animals. Acting on this
she secured a large furry cat which
she gave into the tender hands Of
her children. The result has been
the children fell in love with the ami
nal, and to divide up the prize Mrs.
Coady decided to allow the children
to take the cat home each night in
regular routine. The result has been
the cat has become large and AFRO
CANT through the munificent treat
ment of its separate masters, who re-
luctantly return it to the teacher each

The Printing of Postage stamps,

In printing, steel plates are used,
on which two or more stamps are en-
graved. Two men are Kept hard at
work covering them with colored
inks, and passing them to a man and
girl, who are kept busy at printing
them with large rolling handpresses.
Three OF. these little squads are en-
ployed all the time, although 10
presses can be put into use in case
of necessity. After the small sheets
of paper upon which the 200 stamps
are engraved have dried enough they
gummed. The gum used for this pur-
pose is a peculiar composition, made
of the powder of dried potatoes, and
other vegetables, mixed with water,
which is better than any other mate
rial; for instance, gum arabic, which
cracks the paper badly. This paper
is of a peculiar texture, somewhat
similar to that used for bank notes.
After having been again dried. this
time on the little cracks which are

hour, they are put between sheets Of
pasteboard and pressed in hydraulic
presses, capable of applying weight
of 1000 tons The next thing is to cut
the sheet in half, each sheet, Of
course, when cut, containing a 100
stamps. This is done by girl, with
large pair Of shears, by hand, being
preferred to that Of machinery, which
method would destroy too many
other squads, who, in as many opera
tions, perforate the paper between
the stamps. Next they are pressed
once more, and then packed and
labeled, and slowed away in another
room, preparatory to being put in
mail bags for despatching to fill or
ders. If single stamp is torn, or in
any way multilated, the whole sheet
of 100 stamps is burned. There are
100000 burned every week from this
cause. For the past 20 years not 2
sheet has been lost, such care mas
been taken in counting them. Each
sheet Is counted Il times.

Horse That Died of Fright.

An old horse named Patsy had out
lived her days of usefulness, so her
owner, who was very much attached
to her, sent her into the country to
spend her old age. She was free to
wander in a meadow rich with grass,
and she probably was very happy, TAX
ing her ease after a long life Of ser
vice as a riding horse, lady's carrier
horse, and lastly the trusted carrier
of some half dozen merry children,
who piled on and off her broad back
with never a touch of fear. The chill
dren missed her so much they begged
to be taken into the country to see
Patsy, so one day the mother con
scented to take them.
Now the train they were on ran
right through the meadow where
Patsy lived, and as they came into it
the children looked out and saw their
old friend and cried out in joy. Just
at that moment the engineer thought
How funny it would be to brighten
old rattle-bOnes, feeding so lazily
there" and he blew such blast on
his whistle as they neared the old
horse that she jumped high into the
air and fell down on the ground. He
laughed and thought it was very
funny, but when the children ran to
see Patsy they didn't see anything
funny about it, There she lay stone
dead, killed by sudden fright, the vet

1t Was His Leg.

There was an immense sensation
created at certain station the other
day, just previous to the starting of
the afternoon express for Paris. The

claimed: ~

But you must waitl" cried the old
gentleman, excitedly. There is
mans leg underneath the wheel"
Good gracious Why didn't you say
so at first? Where is he?" inquired
the horror stricken inspector Hold
on there"
And having stopped the train, he
hurried after the old gentleman. while
a couple of porters jumped down on
the line, amid the excitement of
number of spectators. After short
search one of the porters handed up
a rush basket containing a large and
fine looking leg of mutton
Thank you!" said the old gentle
man, and, Selling the basket, he en-
tered first-class smoking carriagxe
What do you mean, sir?" roarded

Probably as many ~ Them Todfy aa 81
Any 1i,ns 10 Their History.
The assertion that the number Of
Indian children attending school has
doubled since 1887 and that thd(uum.
Der OF Indian children In and out OF
school Is steadily increasing hardly
squares with that theory OF the grad.
ual extinction of the red man WAiuh
has been often questioned Of, late
years. Il tends rather TO support the
claim that these much-commlserated
denizens of the forests and the plains
have been saved from themselves by
a compulsory peace. so that they are
perhaps more numerous under the
white mans rule than they were
when their principal occupation was
scalp hunting.
All the earlier Indian statistics are
mere guesswork. Parkman, who rselde
the closest researches into the hittory
OF the Hurons for the purpose OF his
monumental work on the French In
America, made no pretences toward
an accurate statement of their mum.
bers. He said that they were yari.
ously estimated at from 10000 to 3d.
600, but added that the former figure
was the more reasonable of the two.
In estimating the population OF the
lroquois he is equally cautious. Vnere.
ly hazarding an inference that when
the five nations were at the height
of their power they did not have as
many as 1000 fighting men. During
the period covered by his narrative
the Hurons were almost exterminated
by the Iroquois, and such destruction
of tribe by tribe was not uncommon.
In fact, any great increase of popula-
ton was impossible amid the condi
lions Of Indian life, and the early ex-
plorers spent much OF their time in an
uninhabited wilderness.
The subject Is glanced at inH the
last report Of the commissioners OF
Indian affairs, where there is a tale
giving estimates of the population OF
Indians in the United States from
1859 to 1900. The commissioner says
that prior to the year 1850 only small
reliance can be placed upon the fig
ures, and this is obvious after the
briefest examinations, for they jump
from $4,000 to 471,O36 between 1890
and 1920 and drop to 129, 1886 nA1S25.
The census report of 1850 g he an
enumeration of 4OO,764, but tn e fact
that there is q shrinkage to 3f4,622
within five years makes it probable
that we still have to do with rough es-
Inmates It Is only since all the tribes
have been corralled that it has been
possible to arrive at anything like ac-
curacy, and even of late there have
been some noticeable discrepancies.
The census report of 1880 put the
number of Indians at 800, 534; Ute re
port of the Indian office for the same
year made the figure 25G,127. In
1890 the return of the census was 248,-
253, and, according to the Indian Of
fee, there was an increase to 272.0
! by. 1900, not including some $500
persons who have lost their tribal
identity The calculation at this day
should be pretty near the truth. < and
if there are more than 250,000 INDIANS
within the United States today the
probabilities are that these aborlgines
are numerically as strong as they
were three or four centuries ago.

Learning to Take People at Their Best.
One of the greatest lessons in life
is to learn to take people at their best.
not their worst; to look for the divine.
not the human, in them; the beautiful,
not the ugly; the bright, not the dark;
the straight, not the crooked side.
A habit Of looking for the best in
everybody, and of saying kindly in
stead of unkindly things about them,
strengthens the character. elevates the
ideals, and tends to produce happiness.
1t also helps to create friends. We
like to be with those who sec the d.
vine side of US, who see our possibill-
ties, who do not dwell upon the dark
side of our life, but upon the bright
side. This is the Office of true friend,
to help us discover our noblest selves.
