Report About Forest Reserve has
been Misunderstood.
A Coeur d'Alene dispatch dated
April %, says,
A report from Washington, pub
lished several days ago, stated that
all lands Withdrawn for forest reserve
purposes and lying north OF Occur
d'Alene which had not been placed in
permanent reserves would be restored
to entry.
"This statement has been very
much misunderstood as applying to
the opening of lands in the Occur
d'Alene forest reserve" said Register
r. N. Dunn today. sit was intended
to apply to certain lands Withdrawn
to be added to the Priest river re-
serve, but which were not included in
that reserve when it was enlarged
some months ago.
mo official notice has yet been res
ceiyed at the local land Office describs
ing the lands to be restored to entry.
"Scores of inquiries are received at
the local land Office from parties who
are under the impression that the
Occur d'Alcne forest reserve is to be
opened for entry, and the local Office
can give no information whatsoever. +"
The portion to be restored in the
Priest river reserve Is so small and
scattered that 1t will amount to very
little, both as to quantity and quality,
1T being chiefly culllngs.

FAIR HAVEN NOTES.

Jesus and the Sunday Question" was the topic of the sermon by the Rev. Dr. Sheath at the Grand Avenue Congregational church yesterday morn ing, and, despite the storm, there was a goodly attendance. His text was: For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath" Dr. Sheath said. in part:
 The Lord fttingly claimed to be Lord of all, and if He is such, then the Lords day must be observed in His spirit and according to His com mands. We should have worshipful restful, helpful Sabbath"
 Dr. Sheath referred to the three po- sitions taken to-day. There was, first the Puritan, or ultra-conservative; sec ond, there was the liberal position, and third, the moderate position, ready for wise changes in connection with chang ing conditions, Here, too, we have the greatest variety of opinions" he continued The whole problem cen ters around three questions: How much of Sunday shall be given to labor? How much of Sunday shall be given to recreation and how much to directly spiritual ends?
 This question of how much of Sun day shall be given to labor, to my mind, is a most serious one More and more laboring people are in danger of losing their rest day. It is astonishing how many people are working to-day, On railroads, in factories, for corpora tions and private individuals, great mass of people are employed on the Sabbath. France is attempting by law llto-day to- enforce a Sunday rest day.
 I verify believe that in America 75 per l'eent more work is being done to-day | than necessary on the Lords day.
 Tn regard to how much time shall i be devoted to directly spiritual ends l the answer will solve the whole prob
 lem. The state must continue sto en- force law, but the best solution lies
 with the church and individuals. III this strenuous age a man who tolls for 1 six long days should on Sunday consci- cautiously forget the material and think

BUDGETS THAT TAXED.
When the Wearing of Gold Watch
 Cost Ten Shillings a Year.

The Brltisher is the most cheerful taxpayer in the world so long as he be- lieyes he is getting good value for his money All the same, he is not nearly so badly feeced as were his fathers and forefathers before him. Tn the days of the Napoleonic wars the income tax was 2s. in the pound Moreover, small incomes, as well as large were subject to the impost, the 2s rate applying to all incomes of e200 and upward, says Tit-Bits. The man in receipts of as low an income as f60 year had also to pay, though at a somewhat lower rate.
 It must be borne in mind, too that at the same time nearly every article of general use for consumption was taxed to the same extent Even bread, the staff of life, was not spared, and | sugar was made to yield a larger re- turn per pound than its full cost to the consumer of to-day.
 The fashion of wearing wigs was much in vogue in those days, and ev- cry man who indulged in the luxury of powderlng, his wig was mulcted in the l tax of 2ls per annum for doing so. 1 The powdering of the wig was a uni- ] rersal practice among all but the low
 CT classes, so the revenue from this source alone must have been handsome. | But wigs were not the only headgear | that had to contribute to the national exchequer. No man could wear hat
 without a license in the shape of a gov [ ernment stamp placed inside 1t, and | that stamp, of course, cost money, A l tax was even squeezed out of that use- | full and inoffensive article, the house.
 hold clock
 | Every one that ticked--or did not tick | for that matter-was made to yield 5s. l to the treasury. Gold watches were
 taxed, and anybody who wished to
 wear golden timekeeper had to pay
 half sovereign per annum for the i privilege
 In still earlier times what is known as the poll tax was the favorite meth cd of revenue raising Each individual
 paid according to his position iii the
 world, the heaviest tax being paid by l those of the most exalted stations
 Thus, the amount levied on dukes was dpoul SO los fu' peI lleau anu 0'iie e~ T

 which amounted to no more than q

 1 Two centuries and a decade ago that
 scheme gave place to another and in some respects more equitable one. This compelled every able-bodied man
 to contribute penny per week to the
 nationNexcheque Clerics and tutors
 whose incomes were more than ESQ per
 annum were called upon for e1 per i quarter, while tradesnen had to con- tribute G2 year. From eaech pound

 erans to Speak.

During the first half hour @ to 9:3O) .of Wednesday. May 29, patriotic exer- c!aes will he held in all the local schools in honor of Memorial day.
 Superintendent Beede in his general order to the schools says that Prof. Jepson, patriotic instructor, appointed by the state department of the G. A. R.. has arranged with my approval for members of the Admiral Foote post to address the upper grade pupils in most of the schools of the city.
 From ten to twenty minutes should be taken with these addresses. Prof. Jepson also suggests that the song Years Ago, Our Fathers" be used as the opening feature of the programme, and America" as the closing song.
 The exercises should be made impress sive and interesting, and all the pupils should carry away with them some sense of the real meaning of Memorial day
 The visit of the veterans to our schocls and remarks by them to the pupils should constitute an exceedingly interesting and impressive feature.
 Pupils are asked tS contribute flow CTS this year, as usual, These flowers should be left at Music hall on the morning of Memorial day before g o'clock.
 The request has been made that as far as possible the children bunch the flowers or make them up into boquets.

COURT DECISIONS.
CIVIL AND CRIMINAL
Claims Against Yeomans Es- tate-Cosgrove Awarded
 $150-City Court,

Tn the report of the commissioners on the estate of Edward 5. Yeomans, who died in Southington a year ago, was filed in the probate court in Southing- ton, two big claims were presented a%ainst MT. Yeoman's estate. those of the National Tradesmen's bank of this city for over $50,0O0 and of Samuel and Annie Alderman of this city for S1a,- 00o are disallowed Attorney Bernard E. Lynch has received word that the claims of two of his clients, Dr, Iohn c. Mulath of New York and Anthony Blum of Boston. amounting to g, 900, have been allowed.
 MT. Yeomans was a member of the firm of Yeomans & Dill. stock brokers in this city. His first claimed to be correspondents of Buckland & Co.,, of Boston, which failed, and the New Ha- ven firm announced that by that fall ure they would not be able to deliver stock that had been purchased of them. The Aldemans and Mulah and Blum were among those who suffered through the Boston failure and sued Yeomans & Dill for conversion of stock. These suits are now pending in the superior court. but upon the death of MT. Yeo- mans. who was said to be the head of the brokerage firm of this city, were filed against hls estate. The claim of the National Tradesmen's bank against the estate was for money which it is al- legged belonged to the bank and which was embedded by Douglas M. Smith, the former bookkeeper of that bank. which was convicted of taking about $75,O00 and is now serving a sentence of seven years in states prison.
 Since the Buckland failure and the le- gal proceedings instituted against Yeo- mans & Dill, Smith has been brought to this city to give testimony. The Ma tional Tradesmen's bank will pursue it's suit against Yeomans & Dill in the superior court for some parts of the funds which Smith took from the bank to speculate with.

WHITE CITY.
Equivalent of Free Admission for Three
 Days This Week.

The equivalent of free admission to the White City. is offered by Manager speck to-day, tomorrow and Wednes. day and in fact, for three days every week during the season this splendid lnducement will be held open. The free admission is given in this way and 1t is q generous way, too-every patron of the White City will be given free coupon which will entitle him to a choice of the following attractions: Scenic railroad, chutes, foolish house or miniature railway. All these attrac- tions are frstclass, especially the Scenic" which has been reftted with new tracks and cars and an abyss dip built. The latter feature gives all the excitement that the most daring require. There is positively no dauger and ladies and children are as safe as they would be on the picturesque miniature" road.
 In the free attraction line it would be difficult to secure more refined and sensational act than that given by the five Romano sisters. In beautiful costumes they perform some of the most brilliant and fantastic, dances of the Parisian stage, The youngest sis ter is marvellous ballet dancer and all excel in some special turn of the terpsichorean art
 The Camera Phone" is certainly a marvellous thing. It was shown at the White City Saturday night for .he first time in this or any other country. By it's means the audience can see and hear Vesta Victoria in her great song hits. All Is just as natural as life and to thoroughly appreciate 1t one should be a witness.
 The Filipino midgets, the smallest twins in the world, are even more in- teresting than the Igorrotes that ap- peared last season, They are brother and sister. Their heads are of enor- nous size and furnish great study for phrenologists. '''2
