EhhONIS t1NAAJlAI Return.
The financial report Of the state Of
Vermont for the fiscal year which closed
July 1, 1907 indicates satisfactory
condition of the states affairs. While
the disbursements for the year were
larger than for the previous year the
receipts were considerably largers so
that the resources available at the pres,
emit time are far larger than ats the cor
responding time in the comparison. The
total receipts for the fiscal year just
passed were $t,540,ss9.26, and the to-
tai disbursements were S1,451, 363.39.
From State Treasurer Deavitt's report
We learn that the savings banks pay
into the state treasury by far the
greatest amount of revenue. The rail
roads, insurance companies, collateral in
heritanee tax and license taxes are also
strong feeders into the states resour.
ces. The revenues have been largely
increased during the past year through
added indirect taxation, so that the
state opens the present fiscal year in
good shape. Treasurer Deayitt reports
that the resources for the year are
s4s4,osO.9s, with liabilities payable OF
sss3,50f.s7, leaving a good-sized bal
ance. 70 which viii be added during the
year the current taxes from corporations
and from inheritanees. II will be sur

SENSATION AT A CONVENT.
Tragic Suicide Of One Young Woman.
Another Badly Injured.

Special Cabiegram 10 The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG. June ia painful
sensation has been aroused by an extraor-
binary case OF suicide at the Smolny Con-
vent school. an arstocratic institution I'M
der the direct patronage of the dowager
empress.
1t is stated that the victim, a girl OF
fourteen. had been punished for reading
social-economic pamphlet and that the
punishment had preyed upon her mind.
She accordingly announced TO her COM
panion her intention to commit suicide.
whereupon another school girl of the same
age volunteered to share her fate. The two
girls proceeded to their dormitory and,
watched by their fellow pupils said their
prayers. after which they wrapped sheets
about their heads and leaped out of the
window. Both were terribly injured by the
fall and one died after twelve hours Of
agony. The other. however. II expected to
recover.
