Th* contestants agreed that no hold! should be barred and that no rolling falls and none hut pinned falls should count. If a hold was not broken in K minutes, the referee was instructed b order the men to break and secure a new hold. The men shook hands, at 9.50 o’clock, and Olsen appeared to be very nerv ous. The Dane secured a wrist hold which Roeber broke in 20 seconds Roth then secured wrist locks but neither held on for more than a minute. Roeber finally got a strangle hold and with a back lock threw Olsen to tin floor on all fours. Then Roeber tried to get a half Nelson but failed as th* big fellow sprang to his feet. After some fiddling Roeber purposely dropped to the mat. Olsen secured a three-quarter Nelson on Roeber bul Ernest broke away from it by spin ning. Roeber then floored his man and attempted to get a half Nelson which was broken after a few seconds' work and both.nten struggled to their feet. Roeber's arms encircled Olsen’s waist anil the Dane in his efforts to break this hold appeared to be at tempting to dislocate each of Ruber s thumbs. Roeber's effort to maintain his hold caused the blood to rush to his head and his eyes to bulge from their sockets. The Dane’s nose hied profusely because of his exertions. Shortly afterwards Olsen obtained a half strangle hold which was broken and Roller similarly treated a three quarter Nelson. Tin* German then took up the work and got a half Nel son on the Dane which the latter quickly broke. Then followed a succession of half Nelsons gained by the Dane, hut all of them were broken. Olsen persisted in forcing the attack for fully five min utes before Roeber got a chance to work on the offensive. With the Dam on till* mat Roeber winked at bis sec onds and smiled confidently, llis care lessness caused him to very nearly fall into a strangle hold out of which lie spun. Roeber's bauds becalm- dyed with the blood which flowed from the Dane's nose and he repeatedly wiped them on th*- mat so that he might get a good hold. Roeber s eflorts to eti cirele the Dane's body with both arms proved fruitless and Usen with seem ingly little effort pulled himself loose. After each mixup Olsen presented both arms in a confident manner as if inviting attack. He grappled the G* r i man with a two-arm neck lock whicl Roeber spun out of. Immediately fol lowed a sensation. Roeber obtained an arm and neck hold which pinned Olsen i with right shoulder and hip to th* floor. There seemed to be no escape for the big fellow as Rober, still main I talning his hold, repeatedly jumped ti foot into the air. landing with terrific force. Olsen broke the hold only to fall a victim on the other side, Roeber securing a half Nelson which slowly but surely forced the bigger man tc tContinued on page 3.j _ 56th CONGRESS.

Bloemfontein, March 21.—Lord Rob erts, while Inspecting the Naval Bri gade on the plain outside the town, in the presence of many of the towns people, addressed the men, thanking them for the excellent work they had doen in the course of the campaign. He wished good iuck to those who were about to rejoin ship and ex pressed the hope that others would be present at the entry into Pretoria. London, March 22.—4.12 A. M.—Sev rel telegrams have passed between President Kruger and the British gov ernment in addition to the Salisbury Kruger correspondence already pub lished. The foreign office received a dispatch from Pretoria, yesterday. The contents of these communications cannot yet be obtained. So far as the military situation is concerned there is practically no change. Lord Roberts is quietly mak ing preparations for the next move. As necessary to a beginning, Gens. Gat acre and Brabant are swiftly moving from point to point in the southern districts of the Free State dispersing or accepting sic surrender of any remain ing Boers, thus ensuring the safety of L ad Roberts’ communications before starting toward Pretoria. A correspondent of the Daily News at Springfontein describing these movements says: “ten. Gatacre is sweeping through the country like a cyclone, with flying columns in all di rections. His swiftness and strategy have proved of inestimable value to Lord Roberts." The rebuilding of the railway bridge at Nerval's pont will occupy two months. Tlie temporary bridge will be eomplcicd in about 10 days. Mean while applies are transported by an aerial tramway across the gap. These works nei ssarily delay the providing of supplies for the advance. 1. id .Methuen's movement north of Ki nbetiey are believed to lie a pre clude to the gathering of a column of pi.chmi nun with Kimberley as a base to strik eastward from Fourteen streams into the Transvaal. The long and anxiously awaited news of (he relief of Aiafeking, hus not yet been received. Mr. Schreiner, the Cape premier, has granted the request of tlie mayor of Cape Town that a public holiday be proclaimed through the colony on tlie relief of Mafeking. A dispatch to the daily Mail from Pretoria dated Monday, March lit. says: "President Kruger returned from Kroonstadt. yesterday. H<* says the tight in the Free State will be desperate. 1 am informed that the Transvaal government lias taken no resolution to destroy mines or property as a last resort." The Cape Town correspondent of the Daily Mail telegraphing, Tuesday, March 20, says: "I have just arrived from Bloemfontein, where I learned that no further movement is probable For three weeks, as negotiations are pending. I fail to ascertain the nature if the negotiations or whether Sir Al fred Milner's departure from Cape Town is connected with them, but I should not he surprised if the war col lapsed quickly.” A dispatch to the Standard from Bloemfontein, dated Tuesday, says: 'Four thousand Transvaalers from Colesbcrg trekked, Sunday, to the northeast, going by the way of the Basutoland border.

56th CONGRESS (Continued from page 1.) a reproach and a scandal. I ho reso lution was agreed to. In a 11 niiti utr* and without discussion, the addi tional urgent deliclem y bill was pass ed with one or two other measures of importance. Mr. Allison gave noth e that he would, tomorrow, call up the conference report on the Puerto I tit an appropriation hill. In the executive session of the S n ate, two efforts to amend the treaty between the I'nited States and Cr at Britain relative to the disposition of estates were defeated by a very de cisive vote. One of the amendments offered was to strike out section live of the agreement extending tin* same privilege to each of the two nations in the matter of acquiring or holding property that may be extended to any other nation. The motion to amend was lost, 17 to 20. The other proposed amendment related to the striking out of the provision authorizing the cjueen of Great Britain of tile President of the United States to extend the pro visions of tin- treaty to the dependen cies of the twii countries. This also was lost on a vote of about the same proportions as the other. The principal speeches in support of the amendments and in opposition to the spirit of the treaty were made by Senators Jones of Arkansas, Turner. Pettigrew and Sullivan. Tiny were re plied to by tile Republican members of the Committee on foreign relations. The debate was entirely legal in its scope. The treaty will be taken up again, tomorrow. Soon after the Senate convened. Turner, Wash., offered a resolution directing the secretary of war to in form the Senate whealher any conces sions to excavate tile gold bearing bed of the sea in the vicinity of Cape Nome. Alaska, or in other Alaskan waters had been made by any individ ual or corporation or association by the secretary of war or any other war de partment officials, and if so. upon what authority such grant was made. In response to an inquiry as to in formation which had prompted the resolution. Turner said he had been in formed by tin- governor of Alaska, win* •was now in the city, that the war de partment had granted exclusive rights to certain persons to mine the bed of the ocean near Cape Nome. "The secretary of war." said Turner, "has Jurisdiction over tie navigable waters in tlie rivers and harbors of tile United States and at various times lias given to private individuals authority to excavate the bed of such w iters for proper purposes. Now. if this author ity had been stretched to cover such a concession as that mentioned in tie resolution, it is a shame, a reproach anil a scandal. My resolution. 1 may say. is for the purpose of eliciting such Information as the secretary of war may have on the subject." Wolcott. Ool., said that in view of the extraordinary statement of Turner fie thought the secretary of war should be anxious to answer any proper in quiry touching it. If such a concession had been granted it was dearly a vio lation of law. Carter said it certainly could not b. In contemplation of the secretary of war to give mining leases without a semblance of law. I think the resolu tion should be adopted," said Carter, "and I’m satisfied the response will show the secretary has not arrogated to himself such power." The resolution was agreed to. Pettigrew offered and secured the passage of a resolution directing the secretary of war to Inform the Senate what were -the qualifications of voters in tin* approaching elections in Cuba, who prescribed the qualifications, the purpose of the election and who would have charge of it. Hale called up the measure making appropriations to supply additional urgent deficiencies. The committee amendments then were agreed to and the bill was passed without comment. Carter called tip his motion to recon sider the vote by which the Senate, yesterday, adopted a resolution pro viding a messenger to every senator now a chairman of a standing commit tee. The motion prevailed and th" resolution was referred to the com mittee on contingent expenses. A bill to authorize the judges of tin district courts of the United States to appoint stenographic reporters and de termine the duties and compensation of such reporters, was passed. Th* hill provides for the appointment of 90 court reporters in the United Static at a salary of $2000 each. The bill to provide a civil code fot the district of Alaska, was then taken up for consideration. The commit let amendments were first agreed to after which Perkins, Cal., offered at amendment providing that the seat id government shall remain at Sitka unti the necessary grounds and buildings a Juneau are acquired. The atnetnlmen was agreed to. The bill was then iai* aside for the day and consideration o the Puerto Rican bill resunn d. Foraker, in charge of the me.asuri offered a number of formal amend ments relating to the holding of tin courts of Puerto Rico and the phrase ology of tite measure. The hill after some discussion on tin creation of a United States court ot the island was laid aside. Fairbanks, Ind., gave notice that a the conclusion of the routine business on Saturday next, he would ask ;h Senate to consider resolutions accept ing a statue of the late Oliver I’. Mo/ ton of Indiana. The Senate agreed to the ennferenci asked for by the House on the legisla five appropriation bill and Cullom Sewell and Teller were appointed a conferees on the part of the Senate. The Senate then went into executiv session, and, at fi.20 P. M.. adjourned. CONGRESSIONAL TOPICS. Workings of Financial Bill—Loans lo Ban Officers-Coeur d'Alene Hearing. Washington, March 21.—In view o recently expressed apprehensions as t the effect of certain features of th new financial law the following stab ment was made, today, by Chairma ltrosius of the House committee o banking and currency, and one of th House conferees of tile financial hill. "The apprehension expressed i many quarters that under the bankin features of the financial bill rec.ntl passed there will be some inflation do not doubt has some ground. would be unfortunate if there was not, tor we need more curreney. I have no doubt that there will be a gradual in i lease in our eirculation to meet the requirements of trade. It must be con 1 ridered in connection with this subject that, there are three natural cheeks upon excessive issues of bank currency tinder the new law. First, it is to be noted that under the operation of re demption any considerable inflation of bank notes would cause them to be sent into the treasury for redemption j in large amounts and the is.-uing banks I would have t put up the lawful j money for the purpose which would I deplete tile reserve. "Ill the second place any great de I aland for bonds to exehange for the 2 per cents, would advance the price be I yond the limit whic h would make it 1 profitable to use them for banking plo p rses. in which case banks would quite likely sell bonds to make the profit rather than take- out circula tion. “In the third place the limit of OOO.iHH) a month upon the r tir-niietn of currency would make* banks very cau tious about taking out more cirrulu i ai than they will be aide to keep out pn.lUuLly, for once out it might have to remain out for some lime before it could be ret 1 red. "These seVi ml checks will operate automatically to restrain excessive is sues of bank currency under the new law. It may be assumed that the It) per cent, authorized to be issued on bonds already deposited will b>- put nut. That will not exceed in amount $21,000,000 ill round numbers, which is scarcely more than 1 per cent, of th total volume of our circulation and can do no hai in. It is impossible to make any accurate forecast of the amount of currency that will be put out by the new banks that will be authorized. There is no good reason to believe that it will exceed the existing needs of the South and West, win re great incon venience has been suffered for lack if stifle lent bank currency."

(Till was continued before th" t'oeur d'Al lie in vestigating committee. In response to imiuiries bv Itepresetitativo l.ei'.tz. the witness told of a visit to the "Bull pen." At that time a prisoner chanced to jmt his lingers through a hole in the side of the jirison. Thereupon, the wit ness said, a colored soldier who was on guard, shoved his bayonet at the pro truding lingers, inflicting a bloody Wound A copy of the permit i •ijuired of those seeking work in the t'oeur d'Alene district as presented. It re cited at length facts concerning the holder, that he was not it member of a union and that he took an oath to obey the law. The witness said lie had not taken out a permit, regarding it as a budge of servitude, and un-American! to require an oath to obey tii" laws. Representative Jett ni ule the point that the law presumed that a citizen obeyed the law until otherwise jirovcit. The cross-examination was directed to showing that the permit sysl tii was designed to secure an orderly force of workmen in the mines. The witness maintained, however, that its effect was to blacklist those who did not tak out a permit and also to set up an "oligarchy or aristocracy" of those in control of tiie permit system. Representative lentz produced a form of warrant which the witness identified as one in general use. It was in typewriting with blank spices for the insertion of names and directed that the |.erson named he taken and held foi violating the proclamation of the governor of Idaho, declaring mar tial law. and the rules and regulations of the mildest, pst iblished there under. W. It. Shields, tlie commercial liavel ler. testified to being at St. Itcgia. Mont., some distance from the t'oeur d'Alene trouble, when a miner named Francis was arrested by soldiers. Shields said the townspeople staled that Francis had worked there for many months, including the time of the riot, but he was nevertheless taken to the “pen.” The witness also testified to the hardness of the soldiers. l.- ntz asked that Bartlett Sinclair take the stand. Mr. Sinclair is the of ficial appointed by (lev. Sternberg to take charge of the affairs in the t'lH-ur d'Alene district and his name has been frequently used in the course of the investigation. chairman Hull said Mr. Sinclair could not lie called at this point, as the committee had heretofore determined to first hear nil the witnesses to suji port the charges and there were sever al of these yet to lie heard. An ani mated discussion followed among mem bers of the committee as to whether Mr. Sinclair could hi' ailed hy the prosecution. Mr. Sulzer declared that the minority would not proceed further if the com mittee insisted on calling Mr. Young instead of Mr. Sinclair at this tint". Mr. ('apron of Rhode Island, charac terized this as a threat. By a vote of to 4 the committee decided not to call Mr. Sinclair £ts a k witness for the prosecution.

EUROPEAN COAL FAMINE Gives an Excellent Opening lor Our Much Su perior American Commodity. I Washington, March 21.—The Euro pean coal famine is becoming more in tense according to reports to the state department from its consuls all over the continent. Today's issue of the consular reports front the bureau of foreign commerce presents in a strik ing maner the crisis in Austria-Hun gary, where the natural stringency owing to the curtailment of the Eng lish supply, is aggravated by a pro longed strike among the coal miners. According to our consuls these condi tions make excellent opportunity for the introduction of American coal. Consul Horsfeld at Trieste, reports coal as selling for $10.15 per ton and it is not as good as American coal. Con sular Agent Harris at Eibenstock, re ports that the schools are closing for want of coal; many factories have shut down in Plauen, Carlsfeld and Gorlitz and the glass works are suffering greatly and laying off hands. From Coburg Consul Hughes re ports that all the factories of China, glass, toys and dolls have shut down for lack of coal, while from Frankfort. Vice Consul General Hanauer reports that strenuous efforts are being made by the German coal syndicate to pre vent extortion by the middlemen. Con sul General Guenther at Frankfort re ports efforts on the part of the com mercial element to stop by law the ex portation of German coal. LORD ROBERTS (Continued from page 1.) financial benefit from his connection, but the report is not substantiated. Mr. Fischer played the part of Stcyn's Mephistopheles." The (’apt Town correspondent of the Morning Post says: “On the best au thority I learn that the real objective of the Fischer-Wolmarans deputation is ltussia. I also hear that they have taken away all the secret incriminat ing documents from Pretoria, thus making it difficult to implicate Steyn and the bondits." Winston Churchill in a dispatch from Pietermaritzburg says: "I think it may bo counted a certitude that the Transvaal would immediately comply if Great Britain were to demand equal ly fair treatment for all prisoners by a threat of reprisals on Transvaal pris oners.” The correspondent of the Times at I.ouri nzo Marques, telegraphing, Tues day. says: “It is reported from Pre t tit that a scheme has been arranged for the amalgamation of the Trans vaal and the Free State. Kruger will become President of the federated states and Steyn commandant general of the Boer army. The llag will be the same as that of the Transvaal with an additional Orange color.” The Melbourne correspondent of the Times says: "The governor of South Australia has received from, Mr. Cham berlain a telegram to the effect that the British war office will offer 114 com missions to Australians in the army and Koyal Artillery. Spencer Wilkinson, in the Morsing Post, offers the following suggestion: "It may be a part of the plan of Rob erts to make a raid with the mobile force Lord Kitchener is collecting at Prieska through the country beyond the Vaal river, where many Boer par ties are scattered, and to recover Ku ruman from the Boers. Such a raid might be an effective means of help ing Col. Baden-Powell at Mafeking." London. March 21.—At a meeting of Irish Nationalist members of the House of Commons, today. John Red mond. presiding, it was agreed that the Irish Commoners should not be allow ed hereafter to pair with either liber als or 1’nionists. This acti n is a re currence to the independent attitude of the Irish party under Mr. Parnell's leadership and is calculated greatly to increase the lighting influence of the organization in Parliament. Kansas City, Mo., March 21.—At to day's session of tin* Methodist Kpiseo pal onference of Kansas, in Kansas city. Kas., John W. Hamilton of Cin cinnati. corresponding secretary of the Freedman's Aid Association, made a speech in denunciation of tin* lioers and deploring the sympathy in their behalf manifest in this country. He in sisted that the Boers were not true cfuistians, for. he said, they denied tln ir Christianity to the black man. He declared that a vict *ry for Fngland would be a victory for civilization and freedom. The assembled ministers ap plauded his words. London, March' 21.—Col. Challice of the army service corps, will sail for the island of St. Helena, tomorrow, in or der to make necessary arrangements for the accommodation there of ti n. Cronje and the other banished lioers. It is still doubtful whether all the prisoners will be sent there, owing to the feuds 1 tween the Transvaalers and tin* Free Staters. If all the Boers are sent to St. Helena a considerable increase in the strength of the garri son is projected. Ladysmith.

March 21.—The Kreuz f i tting in a remarkable article dealing with the South African war. says: “’The war has demonstrated tie* una nimity of feeling among tie* English. They are all standing together through good and evil report and are compell ing tie* admiration of the world. It has also shown in a most amazing way the strength of the imperialistic Idea, having done much in welding the colonies into a veritable empire.” The article, however, disapproves tb«’ plan of Lord Roberts to treat the Bo* rs as rebels and it censures Rud yard Kipling for encouraging the Brit isji to deal w ith them still more harsh ly. despite tin* fai t that England never fought ti more gallant foe. It con cludes with the declaration that Cecil Rhodes. aft**r his arrival in London, will decide the fate of the Boers. The question of damages for detain ing and searching German vessels in South African waters is still pending between England and Germany.

Mr. and Mrs. II. horny Rogers are at Portland, in the interest of a new re ligious system they believe they are ailed to announce. They term it the silent unity or practical Christianity. Mr. Rogers says he is a descendant of the famous John Rogers. He was for merly postmaster at Mill Creek, i’tah. Mr. Rogers said: “We believe that more and more men are coming to seek to know the truth. We hold that the higher life is the harmonious interblending of the inner with the outer. “When mankind has attained to a con sciousness of their inherited power and dominion, the realization of the Lord their God within, and conseiotisly realize the* creative power of the word, then, and only then will they see their nothingness in following false gods or the opinions of others. “Our creed is the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of men. in the foot steps of ancient teachers, we teach that when men find their true inner sell they find their God. “We lelievc in the law sent forth from the beginning, that God works through all manifestations of lite.” Mrs. Rogers said: "We came into this work through my being healed. I was sick for years and then was healed by tiie speaking of the word, and it was spoken by myself.”. 'We claim.'* said Mr. Rogers, “no power as healers, yet w. are teaching tin all power of the indwelling dominion of man over his condition. Conscious realiz ation of the spoken word liberates men from bondage to a sense of delusion. We are in perfect harmony and accord with all things and beliefs. “The present eonditiOn of humanity is the result of following after or worsnip ping false god- and resistance to law. “Tin- higher law is harmony. Whatso ever ideas We hold. the thoughts we think, or tin* words we speak, create of their own kind. “Our creed is embraced exclusively in the t» aching.* of Christ. We recognize that this i.resent time is unfolded through the conceptions of prominent leaders and teachers of the people. That past ideas and conceptions t God are inadequate to bring about that condition necessary for the rcoemption "f mankind. “We are teaching the truth as Chri-i taught it. lb f in lies success, and tie* onlv true road t perfect health, peace and sal isfat tioli. that the teachings of «’hris-t be recogniz'd I»\ each living sold.*’ Mrs. Rogers—“We teach people how to live.

The Third District Republican Convention WILL BE HELD IN City Hall, Waterville, Tues;, April 10th, 1900 AT 11 O’CLOCK A. M. for the purpose of nominating a camll- i date for Congress to be voted for at the Btate election, Monday, September lo, 1900. To select two district delegates and two alternates to attend the National Republican Convention to be held at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, June 19, 19oo. and transact any other busi ness that may properly come before it. The basis of representation will be as follows: Each City, Town and Planta tion will be entitled to one delegate, and I or each seventy-live votes ast for the Republican candidate for Governor in ]S9»I, an additional delegate, and for a fraction of forty votes in excess of sev enty-live votes, an additional delegate. Vacancies in the delegation of any City, Town or Plantation can only Ik* tilled by a resident of the county in which the vacancy exists. The District Committee will be in ses sion in the reception room of the hall at nine o’clock, on the morning of the con vention. for the purpose of receiving the credentials' of delegates. Delegates in order to be eligible to participate in the convention, must be elected subsequent to the date of the call for this convention. J W. BLACK, Chairman, p O VICKERY, W. If. WILDES, CHARLES H. DRUMMEY, District Committee. If. as they say, Oom Paul has a trump up his sleeve, it is now his lead. The machinists could not have selected a more appropriate date than April 1 for their proposed strike. The tears shed over the grave of Maud S. might have been shed over i,uo...o lay less deserting o. fectionate remembrance. It is not wholly an unpremedia. d coincidence that the big adverti ments of spring tonics follow the pearance of the lirst spring poems. Will those who lament the oppr s slons endured by the people of Puei Rico under our government, pie. se name any body of people more ligli ly taxed The way in which names are b. i ig suggested for tile proposed Ilall of Fame in New York makes it probable that a whole avenue of such halls will have to be built. If the New Jersey libel laws are what they should be. Mr. Cleveland will get due redress for the story from the West that he is to go on the stump for Bryan. Now that England has taken to wearing a shamrock on St. Patrick's day, it will have to wear a leek in its hat on Si. David’s day in honor of Wales, and at least eat a thistle out of respect to Scotland on St. Andrew's day. ■When one method fails the Kentucky Democrats tty another, tint they can not stampede tlovernur Taylor. He was placed in his high position by the ballots of the people and no better credentials have yet been discovered in this country. The New York papers are worried lest the census enumerators will not get returns from all the city's resi dents in June, as such a large part of the metropolitan population will then be in Europe. There Is a suspicion that Chicago will keep all its citizens at home and count them twice so as to push New York hard in the race. It takes a pretty good man to be worth $2,000,000 to his employers, hut that is the value placed upon the life of Contractor McDonald by the finan cial backers of New York's $35,000,000 subway enterprise. They have had his life insured for $2,000,000 for five years as a purely business matter, esti mating that this would be their finan cial loss should he die in that time. It is the biggest life insurance ever carried by a man. laird Roberts has a big contract on his hands if he leads his men in Pre toria. as he has promised to do, but nobody stands ready to say he cannot carry it out. His plans of action are not given out in advance, which dis appoints both the correspondents and Oom Paul. There seems to be some what of a lull now in the campaign, but there is no sign that peace is at hand. Oom Paul is in his last ditch, his allies have dropped away, but there is no sign of weakness ill his knee joints. Hishop Potter, who went to the Philippines opposed to expansion and comes back a hearty expansionist, fully endorsing the retention of the islands and approving of General Otis’ course, is not being quoted so much as formerly by the anti-expansion press. Seeing the actual conditions converted him, and he frankly admits that he was all mistaken in his views and opinions before he went to the Philip pines. He is enthusiastic in his pic ture of the future of the archipelago under American rule. Such expressions from such a man will have much weight with the American public. How soon the great men of their day are lost sight of when they pass from the center of the stage. The name of Hon. John A. Bingham who died at his Ohio home, this week, is not at all familiar to the present generation, yet he was a great con gressional leader during the Civil War and the period immediately following. In those stirring days he played an important part in making history, strong men being needed at the Capi tal as well as in the field. Perhaps his widest prominence was attained in connection with the prosecution of the co-conspirator of 'Wilkes Booth in the assassination of President Lincoln. Later he was minister to Japan and did much to bring about the firm friendship which has done so much to help Japan along the path of civilization. He was as honest as he was able and energetic, and it is sad to record-that the closing years of such a useful life were passed in obscurity and comparative poverty. Another perpetual motion machine has been invented and according to the usual formula is in “successful opera tion.” This time it is in St. Paul. It operates without fuel, steam, elec tricity or any other propelling force t xcept gravity. According to the story four heavy steel balls in falling be tween upright guides actuate a worm on an upright axle, which is turned by the filling balls. This axle is geared to another, up which one ball is car ried by the force of the four descend ing, but at four times the speed, so that the procession of balls becomes continuous. One important trouble with this machine is that it violates several fundamental principles of mathematics and could not work as described. Even if friction could be eliminated so as to allow perpetual motion there would be no surplus power available, for all the energy of ihe falling balls would be used in lilt ing one ball in one-fourth the time. It might be well for those who watch the successful operation of this machine to examine the base of it for clock work. Like the wonderful Keeley motor it may lie one of those perpetual motion machines which have to be wound up every night. The American Agriculturist has smne interesting estimates of farm values and general agricultural condi tion. which, if they are approximately correct, show tiiat this is not going to be a good year for the calamity howlers to plead depression in that line of business. According to its representations the number of farms in the t'nited States has increased about 400,00a during the last ten years and farm real estate is valued at $1. 220,000.000 more than it was in 1 S90 or a total of $17,550,000,000. The produv* of our farms was worth last year $1,600,00*1,000 more than five or six years ago. These are colossal sums, but it is a colossal business that they under take to measure. Doubtless much of this is due to our own wars and the British operations* in the Transvaal, just as our Civil War had a highly stimulating effect upon farms and farm productions. Then, however, valuations were made bv a depreciated standard, while now it is by one that will not he likely to shrink whatever the conditions. These figures almost stagger the imagination, when we stop to think of the producing capacity represented by our agricultural inter ests. What an argument all this pre sents for the extension of our foreign markets. Those wh i find cause for alarm in the great number of immigrants seek ing our shores in these times of pros perity will find some consolation in th figures compiled by the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record. He holds that there is nothing start ling in recent figures, f ir this country has for a century been the magnet drawing the oppressed and ambitious f the world, yet It is ruled by Ameri cans and will ever continue to he. It will be interesting to know, as we soon shall by the returns of the, 190*) census, just how many of our 75.000,000 popula tion are foreign horn. Estimates ahead of the official figures are very uncertain, liut the Record correspond ent has some interesting statistics I tearing upon this point. According to his statement there have arrived at the ports of the United States from foreign countries since 1S20, 1S.797.02X persons.

He notes, however, that from 1856 to 1899, both inclusive, 14,584.404 actual immigrants lauded fin these shores, and he adds this interesting table showing the arrivals during ten year periods: Decad 1850. 186n, 1*7**. 1880, 1 1891 t.i ending with— Total Annual arrivals, average. 1.713.251 171.325 2.598.211 Sit .SCI 2.314.*2I 231.4*2 2.*12.11*1 2*1.2111 5.246.613 524.Mil 11 :;n5.*|s 221*.

Simply that if they were all alive today they would constitute less than a fourth of our total population— or. in other words, that for every citi zen of foreign birth we have three na tive-born Americans. It is interesting to talk about the Irish vote, the Ger man vote, the Italian vote, or the Swedish vote, but there are no such elements in our political life. There is only one voter in this country, and that is the American voter. fUtelme OossliM Gardens.

Yale I'niversity is developing a fond ness for Bowdoin men to till important places on its faculty. Two Bowdoin graduates, one a former president and the other a former professor of tic Maine college, are already on the Yale; faculty and it has recently extended the call to two more. Prof. Kmei y. Bowdoin '92, has been called to th chair of political economy ntad vacant by the promotion of Prof. Had ley to the presidency: and Prof. Torrty, Bowdoin '84. now of Andover Theological Seminary has been called to the chair of Semitic languages which has been vacant since Prof. Harper was called to the presidency of Chicago i'niversity. And here is Brown i’niversity giving a bright Maine girl the honor of being the first woman ever elected to its faculty. At a special meeting of the Brown corporation of Providence, Tuesday afternoon. Miss Annie Crosby Km>-ry was elected dean of Pembroke hall. Miss Finery was born at Fils- I worth. Me. She graduated at Bryn Mawr College in 1V.12. taking the Ku ropean fellowship, which is the high est honor a Bryn Mawr student can I win. in the year 1S92-3 she was a graduate student at Bryn Mawr. In the year 1892-93 she was a graduate student at I-eipsig. From 1894 to 189fi she was secretary to the president and graduate student in Greek and Latin at Bryn Mawr College. In the year 1898 she became dean of women and 1 assistant professor of classical philol ogy in the University of Wisconsin. She holds the position as dean -if the I women's college connected with the University of Wisconsin, today. She is the daughter of Justice Kmery of the Maine supreme court, and her brother is Prof. Kmery of Bowdoin College, who has just been called to Yale. What to do Until the Doctor Arrives. It is very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while await ing the arrival of the doctor. An Al bany (X. Y.) dairyman called at a drug store there for a doctor to come and see his child, then very sick with eroui>. Not finding the doctor in. he left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Schulz, j says the family has since recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friends until he has a constant demand for it from that part I of the country.

Compliments lor Mr. Matthews—A Library Incident New Corporations. The rotunda presents something of a contrast to its usually neat appear ance. The first step in making the changes so that it will have a fire proof floor were made, yesterday morning. The work must be completed lit a comparatively short time and the eontraetors are rushing the work as fast as possible. Nearly everything has been removed. The p >rtraits which have occupied a position on the walls for so long will lie taken down. Many have been ear ned to the judiciary room which now has something of the appearance of an art gallery. Yet while everything else is being moved, the eases containing the sacred old battle Hags of the Maine regiments will remain in their original places. These cases were placed in position 28 years ago, and since then have not been touched. Many of the old flags arc sadly stained and torn and tat tered. No harm can come to them as they are now protected and it is feared that if they should be moved some thing might cause their injury. Labor Commissioner Matthews is still receiving a great many complimentary letters regarding his went report on the pulii and paper industry in the State. The letters have come from all sections and particularly from those where the pulp business is one of the principal industries. Uecently he received a marked copy of tit' “Paper and Puli).” a paper tiade journal, published in London, in which a long extract from the report is printed and commented upon. An annoying incident recently oc curred at the State library. At the time whin Mr. Carver was making up one of the traveling libraries the whole of the force in the library had more than it could attend to. I’sually each book is inspected very carefully, tile pag'-s cut and all the numberless little details that take up so much time attended to. n account of the lack of time it was necessary to slight the thorough examination usually given when the traveling libraries are made up. A new set of travels had re cently been bought and one voluni of the set was placed into each of the different libraries and started off on ;ts travels. When one library was re turned, recently, it was found that one of the volumes was defective through the fault of the binders. Outwardly the volume appeared p>rf et. A closer examination showed that part of another book hail been bound up with that volume. The whole Si t will, of course, be called in and returned to the publish ers and a request made for a substi tute set which shall be perfect. Hut as each volume of the set is away in a j different library, it will be necessary j to wait until each is returneo. that the book may be picked out and returned j to the publishers. The mild weather has made some thing of a change in the heating de partment of the Capitol. 1'ntil yester day morning both boilers were run full force, but one has now been cut off and will not be started again until fall, j C.overnor Powers was at the St it House the greater part of the day. 1 yesterday.

V. r. may be built up The division is now at work and the prospects are bright for an increase in th** number of regiments. I’nder the new orders issued the work of the department commander is divided. That division was agreed on last Janu ary. The appointments, however, were not made. s that when Mr. Selbing be came department commander it was nec essary for him to make the divisions. This he did and tin* head of each division will have a certain territory to attend t*». I’nder the old form the official work rested wholly on the department com mander. It was left with him to make the official visits to all the places in th*> State, on account of his health and the distance to be traveled, he was not able to visit all the commands he wished. Although the division held its own in tin* number of members and new regi ments yet there was not the increase wished for. I’mler tile new arrangement the assistants of the department com mander will have the same responsibili ties that the department commander now lias and will have a certain section of the Star** to attend to. In this way the different regiments will he given more attention and a great er opportunity will be afforded for build ing up new regiments. t'ommander Selbing will start out in a short time to make visits to the different commands and it is hoped that in less than a month he will have accomplished the great amount of work heaped upon him and mode necessary on account of the ehanges. There are still a number of veterans who are entitled to belong to the l’.

Accommodations "acre secured for the night and the men said they would go back home, this morn ing. From the stories told by the men, they were hired by a man who said his name was Collins. It was represented to them that they were to form part of an increased fore, made necessary by an addition to a factory in North Easton. A meeting was held in the Brunswick house, at which some members of the North Easton firm were present. The men decided to go on to North Easton and if they found the men there out on strike to return to their homes.

The revised statutes of Maine contain many curious, and, at this late day, oft entlmos ridiculous laws the attempted enforcement of which wmiM bring gn at delight to the hearts of the newspaper tnen ami reformers in this vicinity. Tin statutes ot every state art* burdened with more or less dead wood of this na-| ture and Maine is no exception to the general rule. hi comes tin- next revision of the State statutes, this n vi--I ion being made regularly every t* n i years. A few of the most obsolete pro visions will he undoubtedly relegated to the* back shelf at that time, j One curious law to be found in the i book is to tin* effect that whoever rides ^n the highways with a naked scythe*. sharpened and hung in a snath, shall for feit to the State* th«- sum of $2. No on* lias be*on arraigned charged with break ing this statute- for at least several elays. At any rale* no one* has in this locality. It is t*» many pe rsons, im doubt, a sur prising fact that tin- .Maim- law permits military companies* under arms passing to and from tin ir parade grouml, all per son.*.- going to or l're»m a funeral, or t> liiircli on Sunday t«» i»ass over any toll bridge ft*e. One* law which is probably n*»t strict ly observed to tin* letter is that which J provides that the* jailer shall furnish at the expense «»f tile* county, to each pfis oiie r under his charge ;i llibl and that tin* prisoners shall b.* instructed in ivad in;*, writing a ml arithmetic on*- hour ev ery e*vetting ••xcept Sumlay.
