fashions

A big buckle of Persian en-
broidery design is charming as a
finish at the back of the belt.
Evening shoes are to be lower
in the heels and richer in fabric
than for many seasons.
The high arch is the disting-
uishing feature In the newest
shoes.
Coats are made in various
lengths, depending upon the ma
ter:al and the purpose of the cos
tune. In cut they are straight
and semifitting, but not in the
least bsggy.
Persian and Indian chiffons,
satins and yelvets are not worn
so much as last season, the prefer
ence being given now to the gold
meshed brocades, and those of
silk and velvet.
Some of the cleverest touches
of the toilet are found in the back
of the new costumes.
Gored or semicircular styles in
skirts are given the preference
over cluster pleated models.>
Muffs, scarfs aud turbans for
school girls are made of serge or
velvet bordered with fur.
Irish crochet lingerie pins for
the neck and belt are quite popu-
lar.
Dropping plumes are worn up
right at the side or back of high
hats.
Short, straight-cut jackets and
narrower skirts are the rule.
Unpretentious blouses may be
Ismartened and frightened by a
few beads carefully selected as to
color.
More fashionable than the long
nap or furry beaver is the one that
has shorter fur and is smooth and
shiny.

Bangor, Me. July ga bill in
equity enjoining State Treasurer Gill

called MattamisContis. The purpose of
Of the law passed by the last Legisla-
ture, ostensibly for the benefit of
schools, but really to exact larger tax
from the wild land owners. Tabor ID.
Bailey, Esq. and Judge Louis l..
Stearns are his counsel
The law provides for a tax of one
and one-half mills. to be levied on all
the property OF the state and collect
ed by the state treasurer. All tn"
money is then to be distributed back
to the cities towns and plantations in
the State. two thirds according to
valuation and one third according to
the number of scholars. No part of
the money goes back to the unincor-
porated places or wild lands even
though there may be schools estab-
ishnd in such places and scholars at
tending them. The plaintiff alleges in
his bill that there is a school estab-
lished in the township where he lives
and that he has son, who is a scholar
attending school.
He owns about 1900 acres of land in the
township where he lives. and as it is an
unincorporated place he pays his taxes
directly to the State treasurer. No part
of the money that he pays as taxes under
the law comes back to his township to
help the school and scholars in it. but it
all goes to the incorporated places in the
state He claims. therefore. that he IS
taxed for the special and peculiar benefit
of others, he himself receiving no beneht
therefrom.
If the money was distributed according
to the number of scholars. those in he
unncorporated places would receive
some benefit from the act. but as 1t Is
now the cities or towns which nave the
largest valuation will get the largest
share of the money.
The bill alleges that it is unconstitu-
tional for one scholar to receive more
than another. simply because such schos-
ar happens to live in a rich city or town
1t is claimed that the money which Is
received from the tax on Wild ianos
should be distributed according TO the
number of scholars in the whole state
There are many scholars residing IN uh'
