Huge Sims For Schools.

The State Board of Education at
Trenton has completed the apportion-
ment of school moneys for 1907. The
amount to be raised by taxation for
State school purposes is $3,23S,55S,
and the amount apportioned from
the State fund to lessen the amount
to be raised by taxation is $1,079,519.
This, with the 100000 apportioned
from the State school fund, makes a
total of $4,518,077, as against a to-
tai last year of $3,372,628 This in
crease is due to the increase in rata
bles last year. The school tax is
raised each year on a basis of two
and three-fourths mills on each dol
lar of assessed valuation of property
of the preceding year. The State
Board of Education in the appor-
tionment includes also the money APP
portioned by the State Controller I'M
der the tax to be derived through the
Perkins main stem tax law, which the
railroads have carried to the Courts.
This adds $2,530,S67 to the $4,51S,-
OFT and makes a grand total of ST.
048,943 available for school purposes
for 1907 in addition to what may be
raised through local taxes. This
means an increase of about ITO per
cent. over what was available last
year, and will materially reduce the
amount of money to be raised by
local taxation.

clearing the heavens of a few fieecy
clouds that still remained, shone
placidly down upon the gray stone
houses with their red tile roofs. No

glancing into the lighted room, and
as VINEYARD obeyed he mechanically

Marie was seated near the table,
with both arms resting upon its dull
red cover. The soft lamp-light
cleaned upon her fiaxen hair, and
defined her white profile against the
dark wall beyond. She turned her
eyes YEARLY toward the door as the
two men entered, but there was no
light of recognition in her face. 1t

Something similar takes place after

Fortune For Bank Clerk.

The will of Alfred M Livingston,
the wealthy bachelor who committed
suicide in his apartments in Trenton
recently, shows that Livingston's
wealth was between 100000 and
$350,000, the bulk of which, after
all the debts are paid, goes to Mr..
Livingstons cousins in equal shares.
One of the principal requests is $780,
600 to Leon Bennington, a young
man who is employed as a clerk in
one of the Trenton banks, and who,
as boy, accompanied Mr.. Livingston
on several trips abroad. Mr. Living
ston also left Bennington a guam
tity of furniture, books and jewelry.
Bennington has announced that he
will continue his employment with
the bank. Charles S. Albertson, clerk
in local haberdashery, who always
waited upon Livingston, was left

VINEYARD, who was a step behind
ner, appeared almost to have fore
seen the mishap, for his arm was
round her before it was possible to
know whether she would have fallen
or not. 1t was doubtless owing to
the narrowness of the steps that he
found it necessary to throw his right
arm around her, instead of content
ing himself by supporting her with
his hand.
Perhaps we are,' he observed,
gravely, as she recovered herself
quickly and passed on.
Perhaps we are what?" she
asked, keeping her face studiously
turned from him, and plucking little
tufts of lichen from the wall as she
passed.

"And you did not warn me. Per-

he appeared to be bordering over

Then the ingenious youth changed
the conversation skilfully, knowing
that maidens are delicate in their

maiden mind, abetted by her imagin-

]. j. Hill, president of the Great
Northern Railroad, has written let
ter to the Governor of Minnesota, in
which he says that the enormous in
crease of the products Of the United
States is a serious menace to the
whole country. The statement that
increased production of wealth and
increased commerce is a menace to
commercial prosperity seems para
doxical. Mr.. Hill naturally looks at
the question from a railroad view
point. He argues that the increased
products of the country have grown
so much more rapidly than the rail
roads that it is impossible for the
railroads to meet the demands.
Hence the present congestion and cry
of shortage of cars. He says that it
would require $4,000 miles of new
trackage at cost of over $4,000
100000 to accommodate the COM
merce of this country.
