THE JOSSELYN SOCIETY.

How many of our readers know of the
Josselyn Botanical Society of Maine, its
origin, its objects, and what it has accom-
plished? Not many, probably, and to en-
sure the continued existence and success
of the society and secure for it larger
and more active membership, especially
of Maine residents, circular has been
prepared from which we CLEAN the fol-
lowing facts: 1t was organized in Port
land in July, 1895, by several people in
terested in the study of Maine plants,
and was named for John Josselyn, 1.-THE
first man who made any detailed study
of the plants of Maine" Mr.. Josselyn
spent portion of the seventeenth CEN
tury at Black Point, Scarboro, where, as
he saws, he made it his business to dis
cover. all along, the natural, physical
and chyrurgical varieties of this new
found world" Most of his observations
were published in London, in 1872, in his
famous book, "New England's Rarities
Discovered: in Birds, Beasts, Fishes,
Serpents and Plants Of that Country"
Since 1895 a meeting of the society has
been held every summer,i in June, July or
August, and the tendency has been to
select places near the borders, with the
hope of finding there new and interest
ing species and unfamiliar floral con-
ditions. 1t has not been unusual for
an amateur to add twenty to fifty
new specimens at a single meeting. In
1899 Miss Mabel P. Cook discovered on
the south bank of the Aroostook river at
Fort Fairfield a plant that was pre-
viousiy unknown species of genus for
merly known only from the Himalayan
region and high northern latitudes. Only
two species had ever been found IN North
America, and these only in the Rocky
Mountains. This is but one Of many in
teresting discoveries. The meetings have
been attended by prominent botanists
from outside the State, and the pro
grams have dealt mostly with systematic
botany and questions of plant distribu-
ton. The present membership is fifty
six, of whom eighteen live outside OF
Maine. Most of the latter, however,
were born in Maine or spend their sum.

idea in connection with the society anc
all people in any way interested in Maine
plants are welcome as members. There
is an initiation fee of 81. and annual dues
of 50 cents. The secretary is DR.. D. w

THE COUNTY FINANCES.

The statement of the financial con-
dition of the county Of Waldo for the
year 1910 has been issued in the usual
pamphlet form. The report Of the county
treasurer shows that the total amount of
the 1910 tax was SIG, 6l095, and that the
towns of Brooks, Frankfort. Freedom,
Jackson, Monroe, Troy, Waldo and Win
terport had not paid their taxes, amount
ing in the aggregate to So, 327.90. The
reconciliation shows bills allowed and
unpaid of 81, 1894; outstanding notes.
ST, 500; against which are resources as
follows: Unpaid county taxes, So, 327.9O
fees due Clerk of Courts (estimated),
$3.50: cash in treasury. s2,11S.37. Excess
of liabilities over resources, 81, 0ll.67.
This is better showing than might have
been expected. with the increased court
expenditures and lessened receipts from
fines. The county tax for the past 26
wears averages a little over SIS, ZOO per
wear. In 1878 it was 500, 900, and in
1sS9-90. $4,000. For the years 1866
the tax was only 81, IA. 5S-placed at
that low figure as there was then bal
ance in the county treasury. In 1906 an
act of the Legislature authorized the
copying of the Waldo county records in
the court house at Ellsworth, which has
cost the county about 81, 900. By another
act Of the legislature the pay of jurors
and of deputy sheriffs in attendance at
court was increased from So to So per
dav, thus adding 81 900 to 81, 800 yearly
to the cost of holding court. The abol-
ishing of the fee system and the paying
of salaries to county officials has made
an additional drain on the county treas
11ry. In the wears when we had what
was practically license system the rum
sellers We're rounded up regularly and
paid thousands of dollars into the county
treasury. Of late we have gone to the
expense of search and seizures, indlct-
ments, trials and convictions, only to
have cases mol pressed even when pleas
of guilty had been entered. The in
creased expenditures are not chargeable
to the county commissioners but are due
to legislative enactments, and the cut
ting off of the revenue from fines is a
matter beyond their control. With
continuance Of present conditions a fur

Republican Senators are sincerely in
sympathy with his efforts but no one of
them has been willing to come out into
the open and make the vigorous resist
ance that he is making and, at time,
too, when most men in like position,
would have been content to serve out the
remainder of his term in peace and in
activity.
1t has now come to the point where
folks count the remaining days, as one
by one the twenty-four hour periods fly
into eternity. Only six legislative days
after this week and there is yet world
of things to do. The contest is fierce to
get the thousand and one things done.
The assent of multitude of other men

BOUNDARY LINES
OF NEW CASTLE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del. Feb. 23.-Represen-
tative Wilson. Of New Castle, yester-
day introduced in the Legislature his
bill to change the boundaries of New
Castle. The object Of the bill is to
decrease the size of the city so that
some of the roads leading to its
boundaries, and which are now within
the city limits. will be improved by
the county after the oity's boundaries
are changed.
There is some opposition to the bill
because of the boundaries proposed
Il being along political lines. The
Democrats desire one boundary es-
tablished and the Republicans desire
another boundary fixed. They claim
the Democratic boundary lines pro-
posed would place more than one hun
dred Republican voters outside the
city limits. and the Republicans will
not consent TO this. The Wilson bill
retains the residence OF those voters
within the city. AS a companion to
the boundary change bill Representa-
tive Wilson also has introduced a bill
TO place farm land within the limit
Of New Castle city on a half-rate as
sessment basis.
