ASSESSORS ESTIMATES.
His Office Will Need Nearly $50, 600
Next Year.

District Assessor Hopewell H. Darnetlle
TODAY submitted to Commissioner West his
estimate of the amount Of funds that will
be required to run the assessors office dur
;rg the fiscal year 1906. Mr.. Darnedlle
asks for $4,000 for his office, as opposed
to S75 400 appropriated for the fiscal year
1895 or an increase over the current ap-
preparation Of 81, 800.
The increase in the amount requested IS
for salary for an additional personal tax
appraiser and for additional temporary
clerk hire for preparing numerical book.
For the salary of personal tax appraiser
Mr. Darneille asks $1,000. and for add
tional temporary clerk hire $2.5OO Is asked.
Mr.. Darneille mentions that in the cur
rent appropriation there IS an item OF $ooo
for temporary clerk hire. He says, how
ever, that in addition to the 500. he Is
Obliged to request an appropriation OF
80 800 additional for next year. for the pur-
pose of compiling the triennial real estate
assessment, which must be done during
the fiscal year 1906. This Is a work OF
great MAGNITUDE" says Mr.. Darneille. land
It is impossible for the regular force to per-
form 1t during Office hours. Heretofore
from $4,000 to 5000 has been appropriated
for this purpose, but In view OF the i'm
proved condition Of our records, think. by
straining a point. we may be able to get
through next year with s.. 800.
II request. however. that this appropria-
ton be made with authority to employ
clerks Of this and other Offices after Office
hours and to pay them from this fund"
With reference to the request for an adj
ditional personal tax appraiser. Mr.. OAR
nellie states that eft has been demonstrate
ed that it is physical imposstbility for the
two assistant assessors detailed as personal
tax appraisers to property appraise all per-
sonal property In the District. 1t results
that much personal property escapes tax
alton which would be listed If the force Of
To- fc tNC 90 Il
allowed the incumbent Of the Office will not
be member Of the board of assistant as
SCISSORS, the board Of personal tax appeals,
nor the board Of equalization and review"

Reason for the Strike.

A man in the audience interrupted the
speaking to inquire what reason exists
for the strike. 'If the trouble is between
the breweries, allow them to settle it, he
said. at seems to me the Brewers Asso-
citation Is using the working men as a
cats paw"
Mr.. Dietrich said the strike was not on
account Of wages: it was not on account Of
hours 1t was ordered because Mr.. Heurich
fought other breweries who employ mem
bers of the firemen's union, and refused to
grant the request of the international presi-
dent of the union to appear before the Of
ficers of the Central Labor Union in the
presence of the other boss brewers.

Lawyer Leon Tobriner, attorney for the

as having been the father of the $500
liquor license in the District. and for false
statements which It was alleged he made
in connection with the beer war which ha 8
been waged in Washington for more than q
year. az II
President John B. Dickman of the Cen
trail Labor Union, i'm his address, said he
believed those who ordered the Heurich
strike acted Wisely and in absolute good
faith. 1t is false that the object OF che
strike is to form a combine to raise he
price of beer. at appears to be a novel,

Judgment until weilearn all the facts, and

M aine's Money.


How the State Disposes of its Funds of Cash
In view of the large amount of money
paid out of the State treasury the last
year it is interesting to note where all
the funds of the State are located
With some there is an impression that
all the money is stored in the treasury
vaults at the State house. Such, how
ever, is not the case, although il would
doubtless be reasonably safe as the
State house is never locked and there
are never less than three Watchmen, as
provided by law.
Names money is scattered, it might
be said, to the four winds. While there
is sometimes quite lump in the State
house the bulk of it is divided among
numerous repositories. There are 30
or more banks i'll Maine that get slice
and two or three in Boston. A week
ago there were $500, 900 in one of the
Boston banks. The amount kept in the
vaults OF the State house varies There
is no law respecting the amount to be
kept at the office of the State treasury.
AS rule there is enough on hand to
transact the daily calls. One day re-
Gently there was $50, 600 in cash at the
office, a larger amount than is usually
seen there at any time. Quarterly pay
ments prevail and every three months
there is the usual outpOur of about
$4,000 in salaries of State officials.

READIN' THE RUG.
BY III Gilman Day.

Take a chair by the fireplace, mister. Pull
up, ST, pull up to the blaze,
Cheerfuller some than an air-tight, hey +?
Too many air-tights these days.
I'd ruther a fired be open! I'd ruther IA

But lot of sheet irons around us till We
can't tell who is who
An alright stove an alright soul! Give
me draft an some birch,
An give me man on the open plan-that
kind o. religion in church.
But that hain't matter to harp on-com-
painin' isn't my style.
Do ye notice that rug where yere Sittin'
Let me tell We bout that for awhile
That's an old hooked rug just burlap with
snlppin's o rags Topped through
A hit-or- miss pattern they call it; it looked
pretty smart when twas new.
Some families have hst'iies about EN- an
dockyments filed away,
But our'n hain't ever done nothn' that
hiSt'ry can find to say.
Yet next to my Bible, mister, the readin |

When there's AIRY mint to rest
| come an read it o daytimeS, but the read
in goes best at night
With the wind an the rain at the Winder
an the hearth flames burnin' bright.
Then the shadders stalk an the embers
An | read in them strands of the dead an
the gone, till they seem to be with me
again.
There, where my cane is p'intin', that is
some bombazine;
Twas as pretty dress for a Weddin' as
ever ibis town had seen.
1t makes tine chapter, | tell ye. Alus
looks gay an bright!
She was wife il hundred-shes over
there 1ender in white.
Move over there, pussy, a little! Master
hand is a cat for the blaze.
That dark there is blue from my broadcloth :;
Scr,lmptiouS IT was for them days
An there is a blue that is faded twas out
in the sun an the rain
Many day Oh many a march. TT in the
Nineteenth Maine.
There's more of that blue in the middle
twas some that my brother wore.
He died on my arm at Antietam; that's the
strip that the bullet tore.
An sprinkled all through are the snippn's
from roundabouts, tires an plaids-
Comf'table readin' are them things. They've
done well, our lasseS an lads.
There's a snippin' or two out O mournin' :,
but only a few O. those;
That rug was hooked in the sunshine an
