dry.
In this case, after q careful examina-
ton or the arguments as presented in
the brief of defendants counsel, and the
written reasons assigned by the trial
judge, we are of the opinion that the
lower court should be affirmed.
We think the law is perfectly plain,
that the sheriffs shall be allowed to re-
tain from their monthly settlements, OF
monies collected by them for the par
isil, their approved bills. as provided by
Section of Act 208 of 1898. This provi-
sion OF the act is independent OF bud
gets of police juries, and is not depen-
dant on appropriations to be made, but
solely on the approved bills of the sher-
III by either the police jury or district
Judge. It Is true, that the police jury
In the budget should an tieipate and pro-
vide for an amount sufficient to cover
these charges; but should the police
Jury fail TO do so, the sheriff. Yhnder the
act above referred to, can retain the
money coming into his hands for the
parish for the payment Of his approved
bills: and in this respects, and gH0dd
THESE bills, is independant of the bud
get. The law is founded IN public POI
Icy, to enable the sheriff to enforce the
criminal laws; and for him, in prefer
enee to all other creditors, and without
waiting fer 3 settlement Of debts as
other creditors of the parish are.
We think the writ Of mandamus lies
IN such case, and was properly resort
ed to.
We find no error in the Judgment ap-
pealed from, and 1t Is therefore affirmed
with costs III both cases.

Building Big Pulp Mills.

Work on the pulp mills at Bar Mills;
and Steep Falls i'll Maine is steadily pro-
crossing. The work is about as far adj

given when the explosions are all over.

that every possible effort has been mad,

right in succession during the noon hour.
The new mills are being constructed for
the Publishers Paper company which has
control of the fine paper plant ut Ports
mouth. n. H.. which has never vet been
in operation. but is now being put in
readiness. The two mills referred to ar.
to supply pulp to be used in the paper
mills at Portsmouth. The new plant
when done and in operation will furnisl.
paper for several of the greatest daily
papers In this country.
The new mills will mean much in til"
development Of power long unused on tt"

good deal to the two towns in which they
are located. They will bring more peopo

Maine Libraries.

Two hundred and fifty new books, for
the most part of latest fiction. have been
placed on the shelves Of the Lewiston
public library. this month.
The Etidcton public library recently
adopted the card system, and all the vol
umcs have been cLtalo2ued. larg
rumber of new books have been placed
ON the shelves of late. The library
with i stone curbing, and other improve
mcntS made about the building.
The Newport library has taken IL most
rroSressIV" step. AT Il recent meeting pi
allow citizo ms who lIv, outside of the
village To the distance Of Il mile OF
nor. tn privilege Of taking Il number
Of books from the Library ut Il time, dur
ing the next six months, returning them
as suits their convenience without liabll-
ity for fines imposed. This is IL move that
VEIL be Of great benefit to those living III
the rural sections OF the town, as by it
they can, during Ii!C winter months,
have the use of as many books as thcY
may want ut any time returning them
as their convenience permits, without
having to pay the small fine that has
heretofore, bee n imposed on each book re
tanned by the reader for more than two
weeks.
When tn" subscription Of fe" cards to
the Bangor Public library was reduced
from one dollar to - cents. several years
ago, the action of tho city was highly ap
pr"ciated. as was shown by the immediate"
increase Of subscribers, The fec of =
cents was settled upon as merely nomi-
lal one, which would, perhaps, pay for
the wear anG tear on the hooks. but
which WAS thought to be so low that II
would not prevent any one from enjoying
the privileges of the institution who
cared 70 use them. Last year, after some
discussion, the - cent fec was removed
and on Jan /, 1905. library cards became
absolutely free to all residents of Bangor
who cared for them. If figures tell the
story. ii" . cent f." kept nearly 300
pcorl" from patronizinE the library. for
the number of cards i'll use at tho present
time, has swelled from 22S, to >. 100 since
the library was made entirely free.
Whether or not all those card holdt Is

Maine Matters OF Interest
NEWS OF THE RAILROADS.

The rails on the Western division OF
the Boston & Maine railroad between
Wells and North Berwick arc being
changed. The 60-pound rails are being
replaced by SO-pound ones.
The Boston & Maine pier at Camp
Ellis is being repaired by a crew Of
workmen. New piling is being driven
and the end of the pier is being re-
rlanked. The pier end has been in n
bad state since a drcdgcr ran into il
over year ago.
The officials of the Boston e. Maine
railroad are seriously considering the
subject of pensions for employees who
have grown old in the service of the
road. While definite plans have not
been decided upon as yet. the matter is
being thoroughly gone over and Il de-
finite plan will probably soon be de-
cided upon. The Pennsylvania, the
Reading and the Northwestern rail-
roads have pension systems already in
operation and only short time ago. it
was announced that the Maine Central
intended to adopt Il pension system.
or course as the Maine Central in one
sense is practically IL part of the BOs-
ton & Maine system. its pension plan
will probably conform to the general
plans Of the Boston & Maine. The
Boston 4 Maine railroad and its
branches embrace some Of the oldest
railroads in America, and operating as
il does in five states and the Canadas
the question of a general pension sys-
tenn TINT shall be just and equitable to
both the company and it's employees is
Il project that requires great care and
ability, as well as special knowledge of
the con litions that obtain.
