Polo Notes Manager Burnham of Portland, has released Goaltender Farrell. Rockland, Star: Phil Jason left fer Augusta, Monday, where he joined the Lewiston polo team. Just before leav ing he received a letter from the mana ger of the Hartford polo team wanting him to come to that place but it was too late as Jason had signed with Lew iston. Globe: Providence is to be pitied. That city never did have a polo team that was in it with the Pawtucket team an 1 would not have it if they got the star men in the business. The city is a jonah.—Pawtucket Sun. A week’s vic tories must have elated the writer of that; but remember, one week doesn't make a season. Lewiston Journal: The polo team has not "struck it rich” in the matter of weather at Camp Cody at Cobbcs s econtee. Ex-City Marsha! McGawley is acting as cook and has made famous ■stews from woodcock, partridge, etc. One member, Furbush has won a repu tation as a wood-pecker hunter, having brought in 7 one night. The first night that the party staid at the camp Whi.e, the guard, offered to do guard duty, fearing that perhaps there might be some dangers to a lone camping party in the Maine woods. Boston Globe: Spencer will un doubtedly be wearing a New Bedford uniform in a few days. Rob erts and McPeck, once the star pair of rushers in the old league, are playing together again in New Bedford. The Fall River and Pawtucket club3 were the first to win a game away from home, and Salem was the first team to win a game on fouls. Dickey Pierce’s work with Pawtucket in his flret game made a great hit, and he promises to become as big a favorite as Cunningham was McKay, wlio played substitute on the Provi dence team, has been released. Levi Foster has been secured as an extra man by Manager Murray. •“Billy” Leydon is opening the eyes of the Pawtucket fans by the manner in which he going into blocking plays. A tendency to hold the ball a trifle too long is Leydon’s greatest failing.—Pro vidence Journal. Boston Herald: Cunningham hao made a hit in Providence. Lampkin, the veteran goal tend, is to play with Hartford. A release is already reported. Portland has al lowed Farrell to go. So Georg McPeck, the veteran player, it to be back in the harness again. Providence has protested the game of last Thursday, in Salem on account of Bartlett playing with the Salems. The season has opened gloriously. The placing has been excellent, the at tendance large and the enthusiasm .great. Referee Brady got a .most uncalled for reception at Paw tucket, Saturday, but it did not ru. him in the least, and he referred in firs: class style. Manager Doe has made every effort to induce "Dump" Williams to get back Into the game. Williams has a position in Bridgepo:: and does not care to leave it. Manager Murray of Providence is to be congratulated on his success in se curing Menard. Without that player MADE MAINE FAMOUS. One of the things was her mince pies. They know how to make them so that they are simply delicious and wholesome. You can do the same. Use Gold Coin Mince Meat made ^rom pure fresh beef and green apples. Comes already for the pie crust and makes a pie cost but from four to five cents. Grocers generally sell It. Prepared by THORNDIKK HIX, Rockland, Me. the team would rot have been strong enough to cope with the fastest coni pany. The Providence Journal says of John Smith's goal tending. Saturday: "He made 50 stops, and his work was cne of the most brilliant pieces of goal guarding ever witn essed here. Smith’s defence of the New Bed ford cage was so brilliant a feature of the game that the home partisans cheered and sh ut. d themselves hoarse, even in the early part of the contest, when the New Bedfords held the lead in the score and seemed destined to force a defeat upon the home team despite the strengthening of the Grays." Boston Globe: One week has passed in the National Holler Polo League, but it is too early to sias? up the clubs just yet. Pawtucket finished with a defeat, winning five games in line style. It is very evident that the practice the team had in Maine did it a world of good. No doubt the team will b dose to the top throughout the season if accidents don’t give them a set back. Tom Cotter’s Fall River team will be in the hunt for the flag, this year, as the men are all playing a good game. Wodtke is not quite up to his best but when loe fast work comes he will be in t’he middle of it holding his own. Cot ter has reduced his weight by wheeling the past summer and w ill lie in better trim than last year, which means :i great deal to his team. A most im portant deal was made, last week, when Manager Murray of Providence, secured Cunningham from Pawtucket, paying $500 and giving Dicky Pierce in exchange. Cunningham will make i good addition to Providence, having his old captain, Canavan,playing at center with him. By this deal things will be evened up more and a weak club made strong enough to cope with the best, thereby adding much Interest tu the games. The S?a!em team starts off, this year, with much brighter prospects. Last year, the season was half finished before the men got playing together in any kind of shape, and then the club was stuck hopelessly in last place. This year, however, the team is strong er and playing better, so the other clubs cannot count beforehand as games won the ones scheduled with Salem. New Bedford is in last place, but the supporters of the club expc-ct the team to take a brace and pul! out of that position soon. The absence of Dump Williams at center is a great loss to the club, and it is weak just where it should be strong. Doe. how ever, will get in the game, and if he is in any kind of shape will play the posi tion. Roberts will need some time to reduce himself to be able to keep up a fast pace, but when he does he will keep the goal tenders busy. The New Bedfords were handicapped by not having a chance to practice before the season opened, which accounts in a great measure for their poor work. STATE NEWS, Aroostook. WOODLAND. On the nig'ht of tin- 9t1i inst., there ,vas quite a snow storm, about G inches falling, although the ground was not frozen. The jingle of sleigh Dells was heard on the 10th. On the 12th we were treated with another fall of snow, which covered u]» the bear places, and tt-'/ns with sleds were frequently seen on tCse streets, on Saturday, the 13th ir.at. As there is no frost in the ground and should the snow continue to come down it will save the grass fields, and ir.-ure a good crop of hay in the summer of 1898, that is. if the spring should be favorable.—Mr. !ic’> ert Wallace, with his crew, started for the woods near Portage Lake, on Mon day, the 10th. Those that wer.it with him from this pi-ace were G o. E. Snow man, William Green, Alvin Burgess and Percy Rideout.—There was ground at S. W. Collins Son’s mill in the month of October. 9000 bushels of grain of all kinds, 2000 bushels of which was wheat. 4000 of buckwheat and the balance was feed. The above enter prising firm have made extensive im provements on their mill the past sea son, and, today, it stands second to no mill in the county for the manufacturer of flours and meals. Your correspand ent took six bushels of wheat to the mill one day last week, from which he received some over one barrel of first quality of flour besides about 40 pounds of second quality.—Whooping cough still prevails to some extent and some of the schools are small as a result.— There must be some error in the State report as regard the potato average for this county. The report gives 38 bar rels as an average, although some acres did yield that amoupt there were hundreds of acres that yielded only ‘from six to 10 barrels and if the facts could be got at 15 barrels would be nearer the average.

Tuesday, Nov. 23.—The Harvest Supper will take place at the new Free Baptist church, Wednesday, Dec. 1.—Almon j Benjamin shot a fine deer, Saturday, I near Young lake.—A large number of i hunters has been in the woods, the past i week.—Fred Pierce has moved Into the j Houghton block recently occupied by Fied Newcomb.—W. R. Whitney spent j Sunday with his family in Houlton.— I Joe W. Stewart, Joe Robinson and G. W. Brawn has been taking an outing in the woods near Young lake. The six-round contest at Chicago, be tween Kid McCoy and Australian Billy Smith, in which George S. Siler was referee was stopped by the police in the first half of the second round, Monday night. The fight could not have lasted over two rounds anyway, as McCoy knocked Smith down twice In the first round four times in the second and had him nearly out before the police interfered. Mm HARVARD MEN SORE. The 'Varsity Eltven and Subs Given Some Hard Work, Monday. Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 13.—With ihe sling of general disapprobation upon them, the Harvard football squad went out on Soldiers' field, tills afternoon, and went through the hardest, fastest, fiercest practice with the second eleven that has been seen on the field, this season. Wheeler. Shaw, Parker and Mills, the substitutes who took the places of the in jured men In Saturday’s game, and had consequently less than their share of the day's work, were the only regulars In the lir.oi eleven's lineup. AH the other 'Var sity mm were out in their football clothes except Dlbblee and Swain, who did not appear on the field, Cabot, who was out on crutches, and Warren, who looked on with his arm In a sling. The two teams were lined up against each other for over half an hour, and there was an apparent pandemonium o hot, vociferous coaching every minute The players caught the spirit and there was a great deal of improvement. For the first time, at least in open prac tice. Mills, the substitute right tackle, who filled Donald’s place so well. Satur day. was tried at fullback, and bis work certainly instilled the trial. Every man who played in Saturday's game has been deprlvid of the 'Varsity “H on his uni form and has been given to understand that he will not gn it again until the hu miliation of Saturday has been wiped out. This measure is hard on the men who did thi ir share of the work, but is generally approved. HARVARD’S VARSITY CREW The First Preliminary Practice Done Monday —The Two Crews' Makeup. Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 13.—The first sign of a university eight at Harvard, this season appeared, this afternoon when two trial eights were organized. Messrs. Lehmann and Willis rawed for a time on each crew in order to get the men familiar with the cadence. The makeup of the crew was as follows: First crew—Stroke, Mr. W ills, (Hig ginson); 7. Mr. Lehmann (Biddle); G, Coodrieh; 5, Heath; 4, Thomson; 1. Adams; 2. Brown; bow. Williams. Second crew—Stroke, Mr. Willis; 7, Mr. Lehmann: 6, Blake; 3.

The Hanna men chum all of the other known Republicans. If this claim is well founded, Mr. Hanna will have majority of two on joint ballot. CONDEMNS FOOT BALL. Governor of Arkansas Wants It Stopped in the State University Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 15.—The gov ernor of Arkansas is the first chief magistrate to disprove of the game of foot ball. In a letter to President J. L. Buchanan of the State University a: Fayetteville, Gov. Jones takes the re cent game between Fort Smith and the State University as a text and strongly condemns the sport as brutal and recommends that there be a stop put altogether to the playing of the game by the students of the State Uni versity. The Governor is ex-officio president of the State University board of trustees. Ball Notes. Boston Herald: President Soden of the Boston base ball club has arrived home, and is very much pleased with the legislation adopted at the recent league meeting. Mr. Soden was a warm advocate of the double-umpire system, and is sure that it will greatly aid the game. When asked what sub stitute would be given for the Temple cup games, Mr. Soden said there would be none. The magnates think that the ball players are well paid for their services, and need no extra incentive. Regarding the securing of Pitcher Tay lor of St. Louis, Mr. Soden said he had not given any thought to the subject. He would want to think the matter over and inquire into the habits of the player before he opened negotiations for him. In his opinion, "Jack” Stiv etts was a very valuable man. “Jack” did good work in the box last season, is a good fielder in case of need and a very valuable man with the bat when a hit is neded. Besides, Stivetts is very tractable. It is very doubtful if Mr. Soden could be induced to give Stivetts and Ganzel, and any such amount of cash as $3000 for Taylor. With Nichols, Klobedanz, Willis and Stivetts, Boston has a strong quartet of pitch ers, in the opinion of Mr. Soden, and then there are Lewis and Sullivan in reserve. The Duke of Marlborough stood god father to the daughter of Lord and Lady Churchill of Cornbury park at the chapel Royal, St. James Palace. London, Monday. The Queen was rep resented by the dowager, Lady Church ill and the marchioness of Lome, Prin cess Louise. The countess of Lonsdale was god-mother of the infant. BELL’S 8EASONINC.

Besides Captain Hickman, he had a crew of four men, all of whom leave large families. Halifax, N. S., Nov. 16.—Considerable wreckage is washing ashore at Louis liurg. C. B., and it is believed that two vessels were lost during the last week's violent gales, all on board being drowned. Two schooners were seen in dangerous positions off the coast while the storm of Friday was at its worst, an it is probable that these met de struction. No names have been found on the wreckage which consists of bul warks. hatches, topmasts, etc. St. John. N. B., Nov. 16.—Word has been received from Chatham to the ef fect that the schooner Janet A, from Tignish, was lost, Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, off Fox island. She was loaded with oats and produce. Three men and two women were aboard. The bodies of Capt. Gillis, Susan Champion and an.unknown man. brought to Chatham by the steamer St. Isldor, last night, confirmed the news of the wreck. The Janet A., was a vessel of 29 tons register, was built at Church Point, ,N. S., in 1882, and hailed from Chatham. .Boston, inov. 16.—me scnooner Spar tan. Capt. Coombs, bound from Hills boro, N. B., for Baltimore, came Into port, this afternoon, after a week’s buffeting with the. severe weather off the coast, during which time she lost her jibboom, foretopmast and all her head sails, while on the night of the 10th. she narrowly escaped foundering off Matinlcus rock. The vessel left Hillsboro, Nov. 7. with a cargo of plaster and for three days encountered good weather. On the morning of Nov. 10, she ran into the storm, which com ing across New England from the nest, swept up the coast causing great dam age to shipping and one or two wrecks. For some hours the Spartan labored in the heavy seas, with the wind blowing a gale from the southeast. At noon that day the wind suddenly shifted to the northwest as the storm center passed off the coast, the wind blew with almost hurricane force. When oft Martinlcus rock one giant wave struck the vessel which buried her from stem to stern under tons of water, and car ried away the foretopmast, jibboom. all of the head sails and the foresail and had also swept away the boat from the after davits, leaving the crew without means of escaping in the event f the vessel having to be abandoned. The water Hooded the cabin, forecastle and galley, destroying a portion of the provisions and soaking everything with water. As soon as possible the crew set to work patching up the damage. When the sails were rigged it was pos sible to keep the vessel's head up to the s~a and as the wind moderated, the schooner made fairly good progress un der the circumstances. Scarcely had the crew recovered from the effects of this blow when the storm of the 12tn struck the vessel and again she was swept by terrific seas. Fpon th® weather moderating, Capt. Coombs de cide d to put in here for repairs and It was estimated, today, that MOM would be necessary to put the vessel in condi tion to continue her voyage.

The time honored custom of recognizing and giving thanks to Almighty God as the year draws to a close, for His mani fpld mercies, was instituted in Plymouth Colony by the Puritans in the early set tlement of our country. The present year has 'brought to the people of Maine a fair degree of prosperity, and though the har vest has been less bountiful than usual, we have moved onward in liberty and peace. We have been signally preserved from great calamities and pestilence and have very much for which to be truly thankful. In grateful recognition of our Indebtedness to, and dependence upon the Giver of these blessings, and also con forming to the Proclamation of the Pres ident of the United States, I, Llewellyn Powers, Governor of the State of Maine, do hereby designate and set apart, with the advice and consent of the Council. THURSDAY, THE 25th DAY OF NOVEMBER, A. D 1897. as a day of Thanksgiving and Prayer. And I do earnestly request ail the citizens of our State to refrain on that day from any unnecessary labor and with heart felt gratitude render thanks to God for His care and goodness to us as a people. And especially I would1 enjoin those who have abundance to give substantial evi dence of their thankfulness by remem bering, on this day, the poor and unfor tunate. Given at the Executive Chamber at Au gusta, this fifth day of November, in the year of our Lord eighteen hun dred and ninety-seven, and the Inde pendence of the United States of America the one hundred and twenty second. LLEWELLYN POWERS, BYRON BOYD. Secretary of State. If tradition be true Dargai Ridge •wasn’t the first place in the far East where the Scottish piper has cheered the Highlander to deeds of valor. Columbia recalls Low to the presi dency and he evidently was holding his ear attentively. This would seem to indicate that the New York Sun will not be recognized- as the accredited mentor of the institution. The late George M. Pullman may have done better by his sons whom he disinherited than they at first appre ciated. The ycur.g women to whom they were engaged have jilted them since their change of fortune. An old, experienced hunter of Michi gan is reported to have shot a man in that state thinking him a deer. An old, experienced hunter who makes such mistakes should lie sent to prison to learn ‘to make use of his experience; and a young, inexperienced hunter who shoots in that feckless manner likewise should go to prison to learn by experi ence. It appears that a new danger at tends the dumping of sawdust into a river in unlimited quantities. Recently there have been tremendous explosions In the Ottawa river by one of which a man lost his life. These are attributed to the formation of gas under the deep layer of sawdust on the bottom of the river. It is now thought probable that the law against throwing sawdust into the stream will be enforced, something that has not up to this time been done. There is a good deal of free silver sentiment in Montana but not a little of It, as appears from the government records is manufactured under a mis apprehension. Since 1890 every smelter In the state has doubled its capacity with but one exception. The metal product of that state is shown by the report of the director of the mint to be $6,000,000 over that of the previous year. Since 1890 the copper, silver, gold, lead, sheep, wool and cereals have Increased in volume from fifteen to one 'hundred percent, and with the exception of silver twenty-five to one hundred per cent. In value since 1893. Here cer tainly are values of sufficient magni tude to excite apprehension about dis turbing them with forty-five cent dol lars. The gold resources of another free silver state, Colorado, have in creased in three years 300 per cent. In 1893 gold to the value of $8,000,000 was mined. In 1896 the value of the gold was $22,000,000. These facts speait for themselves and all the arguments of tbe Bryan lies ought not to becloud The Gordon Highland«r>. The gallant charge of the Gordon Highlanders at Dargai Ridge is only one of many daring deeds to be credited to "the gallant Gordons" since that name was given in 1794 to the regiment of Highlanders raised by the beautiful I>uohess of Gordon, who donned t striking bonnet and rode through the land of her retainers, attending the public fairs where she placed the King’s shilling between her lips and dared the gallants to come and take it. In this way she raised a regiment of one thousand men which aroused the greatest excitement on its way through London a little later. Four years later they were sent to put down the rebel lion in Ireland, then to Holland where they fought the doughty Dutch in a battle contended throughout at the point of the bayonet. They served later in Egypt under Sir Ralph Aber crombie. attended the funeral of Nel son. wc.n the praise of Wellington in the Peninsular campaign and six of their number carried Sir John Moore off the field at Corunna. At Waterloo after but two hundred out of the regh meat were left to fight they charged a French column of two thousand men. and were supported by the Scotch Greys. Catching the manes and stir rups of the horses the Gordons were swept into the midst of the ranks of Frenchman and cut their way out s'houting "Scotland forever." Then they met yellow fever in Jamaica and found it one of the severest struggle; they iiad known. They arrived in Crimea the day Sebastopol fell. They took active part in the territllc battles of the Afghan war of 1878, and stood to their task on Majuba Hill. They have not in this more than a century retained their original regi me-ntal formation continuously. In 1881 they were united with the Stirlingshire regiment of Highlanders, which was originated in 1787 and which had dis tinguished itself at Mysore and Ser ingapatum. In the Indian mutiny three members of that regiment had won the Victoria cross. A sergeant and a corporal led the Sterlingshire regiment before Delhi, the other ofli cers being killed or wounded. They covered themselves with glory at Lucknow. In 1SS1 they took the name of the G'ordon High.anders and re turned to the Scottish costume. They served gallantly throughout the Sou dan campaign and had won distinction in this Chitral campaign, before they were called upon to save the day at Dargai Kidge October 20. Their pride in the name Highlander is naturally guarded with jealousy and the good fame of the regiment is so sacred in their eyes that when Colonel Mathias said: "Men of the Gordon Highlands: Our general says that position must be taken at all costs. The Gordon High landers will take it." he knew not a man would flinch and while the pipes played "Cock of the North” they set out on their errand of death. Work Ahead. A good deal is heard nowadays re specting what t'he Senate will do with the Hawaiian treaty, and -Congress with the Cuban question, and the cur rency question: but comparatively lit tle attention has been given to many other important subjects, which in the natural order of things will come up for consideration. As for the former subjects mentioned, it appears to lie quite generally understood that suit able currency legislation is not likely to pass the gauntlet of the free silver Senate. As for Hawaii it is conceded by some that the requisite two-thirds can be obtained in the Senate, if not a joint resolution can probably 1« passed. On the Cuban question some oratory will undoubtedly ltern in our ears. Riddling us bear all the toil and tears. Partings and losses, sorrows and smart— Have you forgotten, heart of my heart? Heart of my heart, in the setting sun. We sit at peace, with our day's work done: In the cool of the evening we two look back On the winding pathway, the noon's rough track. And tut* morn's green pleas.uiei. where roses twine. Heart of my heart—with your hand in mine. Heart of my heart, when the night is here. Love will sing songs of life in our ear. We shall sleep awhile* 'neatii the daisied grass. Tl'.l we put on the glory and rise and pass To walk where eternal splendors shine. Heart of my heart—with your hand in mine. —E. Nesbit, in The Argosy. "Snow enough for good traveling" is the desideratum, say the traders. To htar them talk one might infer that until sleighing begins prices must lie cut. Gardiner is wondering whether or no a shoemakers’ union is to follow right on the heels of the new shoe shop. The returns from those who have given up jobs in Maine and gone else where on uncertainties are not calcu lated to encourage uneasiness among those that have stuck to what they had. Several who have gone from the Maine village to Boston have had the good sense to return and will spend the winter with the old folks. There ought to be flour barrels enough for next year’s apple crop, con sidering the fact many of those of this season will go over. David O. Foye of Bath, bought a new knife last week, though why he did so is not explained for he still has the one he found 20 years ago and has carried ever since. The Gardiner Herald thinks now that Gardiner has the best entertainment hall in the three cities there ought to be a late car which would accommo date those who in that event might come from Augusta. The Portland policemen are hopeful but very anxious to have parsed the Proposed ordinance providing for re tirement on half pay of those who have attained the age. of 6i> in the regular service. There is, however, but one officer who would be eligible within the next four years should the or dinance pass. -tti n The officers of a secret order in New port got some to .v robes recently. They were very proud of them ufitll they tried them on. when they were not .sailidled with the lit. Just what the troulde was they could not tell and in a tit of desperation one man called a dressmaker to their assistance. She looked them over,then offered a sugges tion. "i think if you gentlemen will pul these rolies on and button them up in the liaek instead of the front, they will be all right.’- Those men humbly donned the robes with the but tons in the bark but It was sometim before they could impart enough dignity to their countenances to com port with the regalia. The editor of the Damariscotta Her ald may have been reading some of the historical sketches in several of his Maine contemporaries, telling the story of their respective towns years ago. and he may not but he is going them half a century better* Heginning last week the Herald began a series of letters describing Damariscotta as it is to be 20 years hence. There are sniel to he }03 widows living within the radius of a mile from Main street square. Farmington. And yet that locality has been much advertised I as a health resort. Among recent death, notices was pne of a girl of lt» in No. 7 Plantation. Of her it was said she “had the care of live younger children since the death of her mother, four years ago." Com ment seems unnecessary, and it is said to her credit that she made none upon her lot. What with the prohibition sentiment .'.nd preference for potatoes it is said the growing of barley is not likely to increase to such an extent in Aroos took county as some have thought. A« to that grown the pas: season it is said the average crop has been about ?5 bushels and the price 45 cents making a eas-ft yield of about $15.75 per acre. Lewiston Journal: There are people whose only ide a of a remedy for exist ing ills is the passage of a new law: so it is by no means remarkable that mine of these pi tpose to present to the' next Legislature a bill to punish the hunter who carelessly kills a dear man instead of a cheap deer. Put what is the objection to enforcing the present laws in regard to manslaughter and criminal carelessness which fully cover all such eases? What Maine needs is not more law but better enforcement of what she already has. nett only' ir. litis respect but in others.

Om day his younger brother. Albert, a powerful fellow over six feet in (his stockings, remarked to his fellow workmen that it was Warren’s birth day and he should he spanked. His friends agreed to that, also that the strapping young fellow was just tht one to do the spanking. “Well, now, I believe I'll do it,” said Albert, and, lay ing down his tools, he walked over and grabbing hold of Warren, endeavored to lay him across the stone. Warren with one of his good natured chuckles reached for him, laid him across the stone and with one hand held him there, then with the other proceeded to administer some vigorous spanks to punish him for his temerity. Albert lay and took it, and well he might, for he had to; he thought of getting up.but it was only a passing thought, for something admonished him that War ren would object; there would evident ly be a difference of opinion.

VOICES OF TNE PRESS American Cobdenitm's Epitaph. (Xt w York Press.) Mr. Muitiall. though a ^ood British free trader himself. is in danger of exorcism by the American survivors of this de parted cult w.th bell, book ami candle. Xowh« re *»f kite has such a hob been played alike with their facts and their theories, t'heir history and their jjrophecy as in this statistician's review of ••Thir ty Years of American Trade" in the No vember North American. He will have to answer first for his final conclusion: "Internal trade is the best gauge of national progress, because it reflec ts the jn>wt r. energy and resources of a people." This truth is so sell -evident that Mr. Mu!hall does not state a single process by which he arrives at it. Yet half a dozen national campaigns—two of them for the president y—were conducted and with a high degree of success, on the theory that it was a self-evident false hood. American free traders have ever been so convinced of the absolute unim I>ortanve of international trade—though it always has and always will represent eight-it nth's of all trade—that they have never taken the trouble to measure its volume. \Ve may search the “tariff-reform" lit erature of th«- last dozen years in vain for a lir..- of information as to its growth r decrease. Yet we transact forty-eight millions of it daily, as against five mil ions of foreign trade. And it would seem to stand' to reason that the increase of our own capacity, both of consumption ind production, should be our chief care. If wo could so improve the well-being of our people that they could consume ah ilie ir own output, certainly our economic millennium would 1m* reached. The free, trader has never thought it worth retain ing. Thi re was a magic in the words export" and "import" that sealed his eyes and ears to this miracle of develop ment tluit was going on ail about him in tin* growtii of internal trade by 41* per •er.t *1880-1894). while population grew by only .'lc> per cent. To total in the one year was $1*.614.000.0*hi. and in the other S14.330.cv0.000, an increase of nearly five billions. But the statistician docs not leave the American free trader with the consola tion that his idol has been neglect* I. and that worship at his shrine would have been rewarded with a larger measure of mate-rial welfare. Our percentage of in •mise in foreign trade for the last twen y years has been muc h larger than that >f any ofher nation—a fact which falls .vith cold, compelling force of quiescence ipon the old whimper about "allowing England and Germany to outstrip us in he markets of the world." Between 1876 ind 1896 American foreign trade gre w by .6 per eent.. English by 17 j>er cent... (|?r nan by 11 per cent, and French by 3. Nor teed we cling to percentages* alone to make a showing.

The State of Maine authorities have been asked to co-operate in case he escapes across Uie border.

GOVERNOR AND COUNCIL Held a Busy on Session Tuesday Afternoon and Evening, Pardons Granted Adallard Routain and Dani»l Graham—Other Buiineie. The Governor and Council met, Tues day afternoon and evening, and held quite a busy session. All the councilors were present. The first business was that of hearing the pardon cases, three of which were assigned for the session, there being those of Adellard Roussin of Biddeford, serving a four years’ sen tence for larceny. E. P. Chase of Gar diner, serving a sentence for alleged rape, and Daniel A. Graham, serving a 15-years’ sentence for alleged rape. The petition of Adellard Roussin was ably presented by Charles S. Hamilton, Esq., of Biddeford. County Attorney Emmons was present, and spoke in favor of the pardon. J. E. Moore, Esq., of Thomaston, was present, and presented the petition for pardon of Daniel A. Graham. In a clean, and easy manner he presented his lengthy argument. This case greatly interested the hearers, as the alleged crime of rape was committed by Graham when he was but 15 years of age, and the girl was but 9 years old. There was no violence used, and it was not for a long time that Graham was arrested. He was of a poor family and no counsel was engaged to defend him. Being advised to plead guilty he did so without any hearing, and was sentenced to the full limit of the law, which is 15 years. Hoth cases were laid upon the table for executive session. A letter was read that was received from a farmer at Sandy Hay, who re quested the Governor to pleas? remit at once for damages, estimated at $155, done to his crops by deer. The nominations recently made were all confirmed, but those of two minor officers which were tabled. The letting of the contract for the decoration of the Senate Chamber was not acted upon on account of the ab sence of Superintendent of Buildings E. C. Stevens, who is confined to his bottle by illness. The award will not be made before the next meeting of the Council, which will be held December 11, at 4 P. M. A bill was presented by an undertaker at Wintcrport, for the burial of an un known tramp, who was found dead at that place. The hill amounted to $105. and included a $48 coffin, a $7 robe, a $2 coffin plate, and all the things that go to make up a respectable funeral. It was present ed under the law that if an unknown man is found dead, the coroner shall hold an inquest arc! then have the man burled at the expense of the State. As there was r.o evidence shown that an inquest had been held, r.o action was taken upon the matter, until further inquiries have been made concerning it. Upon request of President Harris of tile University of Maine, it was ordered that 2500 copies of the annual catalogue of the University of Maine, and 2000 copies of the short catalogue, be printed for the use of the institution.
