ni>hed by F, G. Spinney, manager of the
Belfast Base Ball Team.

whether curved straight, high OF low, and
caught long flies in deep centre field, max

on the diamond easily and gracefully She
is below the medium stature, but shows
strength and agility resulting from health
full country life combined with thorough
athletic training. From childhood she has

Enforcement at Skowhegan.

Strict enforcement is again the order in
Skowhegan. The order has gone forth from
the municipal officers, and will be dsre-
garded at the peril of the full legal penalty
This comes about as a result of meeting re-
Gently held when about % of the staunchest
of the supporters of the law gathered in
Grand Army hall to discuss the situation.
That the sale of liquor in Skowhegan during
the past few weeks has been gradually in
creasing is generally admitted fact, and
the prospect of a return to the open bar
system which prevailed before the voice OF
public opinion expressed itself so emphati-
cally at the March meeting, has reused the
more persistent of the advocates to resume
active measures.-So Somerset Reporter.

The Standard Granite Co.'S. Liabilities.

The Standard Granite company, Hall
quarry, Mt Desert, Me-, on whose property
various firms put on attachments recent
ly, has reported to its creditors $4,000 liza
biitieS, while their assets consist largely
of claims against western persons for gran
ite sold under contract. In several cases
there is dispute as to the amounts due,
and in one special case the Standard Gran
ite company claim $4,000 against a firm
who on their part claim that the Standard
Granite Co. is indebted to them; so the
amount of assets is hard to determine The
quarry, together with all buildings, tools
and apparatus, is under mortgage to secure
bonds issued some time ago. Another meet
ing of creditors will be held in a month, un-
less called sooned by the committee appoint
ed for the purpose of looking after the
attaching creditors.-Bangor News.

Belfast Valuation and Taxes.

Messrs. A. A. Small, A. P Mansfield and
j. F. Sheldon, Assessors of Taxes, have
completed the inventory for 1902. They
find slight decrease in the total valuation,

in assessing the property of the Water Co.,
which is now all classed as real estate under
instructions from the State Board of Asses
sors. The amount raised for city expenses
is less than last year, and the tax rate is
less. Following is a comparison of thetwo
years
