 The tax on mutual life insurance companies realized a revenue of about $455, 900, or $25, ,000 more than what the companies paid In 1914. The states savings banks paid $f10,000 on their deposits, or $6,O00 more than the pre- vious year. The revenue from the iA- vestlnent tax jumped from $251, ,833 in 1914 to $415.

 During 1915 there were no temporary loans. while in 1914 these amounted to s690, 900. It is believed in the treas ury department that it will not be necessary to issue bonds to raise addi- tional revenue during the present fs- cal year, nor will it be necessary to borrow money on short time notes. This, however, is a mere matter of basis. While the receipts will be a great deal larger. owing to the new taxes, than ever before, it should not be forgotten that a half million dol lars will be taken from them for the sinking fund, which goes into exist ence for the first time this year. for the purpose of meeting the state bonds as they mature.

 Griffith after watching Connolly play the other day, said: 'HThe fellow has every movement of a natural ball player and he is going to make a ma jor Ieaguer some day. He is fast, looks like a cracking good fielder and stands up to the plate nicely,
 Do you want him ?'' was asked.

 Shanks made a pretty running catch Of Cooks foul fly in the fourth, running almost to third base to get the leather Not an error was made, and the fielding of both team was of high order throughout.
 BooneA starred at the bat with a double and a, single out of four trips to the plate. His double to right in the fourth blossomed into a run It was a, hard-hit ball and struck square ly on the foul line.
