Sale of Liquor at Immigrant Stations and National Capitol Prohibited. Senate Talks About Final Adjourn mcn on June 24. Washington, May 27.—The House, today, passed tin- Shattuc immigration lull- The feature of the day was a lively debate ou the question of pro hibiting the sale of intoxicating Il linois at immigrant stations. It was preeipitated by ail amendment offered by llowersoek, Kus., to proliihit sueh sale, which was carried, 83 to IS. Uundis, lnd., followed this victory with an amendment *o prohibit the sale of intoxicants in the Capitol and it pre vailed by a still larger majority, Ins to lit. The hill brings together into once act all the scattered legislation here tofore enacted ill regard to the immi gration of aliens into the I'nited States, arranges it in sequence, etc., eliminates what has become obsolete by reason of subsequent legislation, amends some j of the administrative features and a!- so adds some provisions to the general laws and others made necessary by j the extension of tlie territorial limits of tin- United States. Among the more important changes are those increasing the head tax on aliens coming into the United States by land transportation from $1 to $1.50; adding to the exi luded classes epilep tics, persons who have been insane within five years. Anarchists, or per sons who advocate the overthrow ot government by force, prostitutes and procurers (whose importation is now a felony, but whose entry is not pro hibited), broadening the word “con tract” in the contract labor law to include “offer, solicitation of promise;” providing for the tine of steamship companies which receive at the port of departure aliens afflicted with loathsome or contagious diseases, in stead of providing as now for their deportation on aniv.nl here: extend ing the time in which an alien who becomes a public charge may be de ported from one to two years, and pro viding that immigrants over 15 years of age should be able to read in some language. Just before the session closed a special rule was presented to make the bill for coining subsidiary silver a continuing order until disposed of. a vote will be taken on the rule, tomor row. At 11 o'clock, the House resumed th legislative session of yesterday to com plete the consideration of the bill to amend the District of t'olumbia cod". It was passed a few minutes before noon and at the latter hour the House met to begin a new legislative day. The consideration of the immigration bill which was discontinued last Thurs day was resumed. Several verbal amendments were adopted. Clark (Mo.) moved to strike out th" provision in Section 16 which ex onerates masters and owners of ves sels from responsibility of the saf" j Keeping of aliens during the time they j were held in immigration inspection buildings for investigation of their right to admission. After somewhat lengthy debate the amendment was lost. 2!) to -13. Speaking to a pro-forma amendment Bail. Tex., at this point severely criti cised the conduct of the .committee on library which he said had shown favor itism on the occasion of the unveiling of the Kochambeau statue, Saturday, by reserving certain seats for certain members of the House after assuring otht rs members that there were to be no reserv'd seats. lie mentioned the chairman of the committee, McCleary, Minn., by name ami denounced the ac tion of the committee as a gross and flagrant indignity upon the membership of the House. McCleary, who was pres out, mailc no reply. On motion of ‘'lark, an amendment was adopted to strike out the words “knowingly or negligently,” which qualify the inhibition against the land ing by masters of vessels of aliens at any place not designated by immigra tion officers. The time within which an alien to become a public charge shall tie deported, was reduced from live to two years. Uowersock, Kansas, at this point of fered an amendment to make it un lawful to sell intoxicating liquors In any immigrant station. Shattur made a point of order against the amendment but it wan ovi rruletl, whereupon he offered the following substitute for I lower.sock Y. amendment. Provided that beer may be sold in any iminigraht station owned or used by the United States, or in the grounds) appertaining thereto under the dircc- j' tion or at the approval of the secre tary of the treasury, and that the sale, j purchase and handling of said beer shall he in every respect under the control and direction of the secretary i of the treasury. Shattue sent to the clerk’s desk and j had read a letter from the new Irn-1 migrant commissioner at New York.

The sale of mild bev erages at immigrant stations, he thought, could .not be harmful.

The salary of the postmaster there ascends from $1,700 to $1000. Many other towns in the third Congressional district fare likewise. The jKistni,aster at Wmthrop now gets a salary of $1200: "after July 1 ho will have $1200. And by the way exactly the same figures apply for the postmasters at Gorham. Me., and Wahloboro, Me., in opposite sections of the Pine Tree State. At Pittsfield, Somerset county, the postmaster will have a salary of $17i!'i after July 1, where now he re ceives only $1(500 a year.

At tin* meeting of the committee on resolutions it was reported that most of the opposition to Chairman Dicks draft of a platform came from Harding, Dougherty, Douglass and Taylor.

With the platform completed, to night, and only three nominations for minor places to lie made, it is thought that the convention will conclude, early tomorrow, although (Jen.

Kingstown, St. Vincent, Monday. May 26.—On Saturday night the dense clouds forming a canopy over the greater part of the island lowered, and a severe thunder storm, accompanied by a heavy rainfall, broke over St. Vincent and continued until today, causing the mud streams hi the Windward district of Georgetown to be flooded. The water pipes were damaged, several houses were washed away and two lives were lost. The rai!."aJl was so heavy that it exposed the ?s of the buried vic tims of the i j.eanic disaster. During the rain storm the Soufrlere volcano appeared to give forth dense clouds of vapor and steam, reaching a considerable height and spreading over the neighborhood roaring sounds, caus ing apprehension of another eruption. Severe lightning lasted all night, Sat urday, and on Sunday Bight Inches of rr fell at Kings town between Satu y and Monday, the heaviest downfa.i since the hurri cane. Further interesting incidents which occurred during the recent eruption of the volcano are continually coming to light. While all the residents of the vil lage of Morne Ronde were leaving that place by boat, a man who had declined to leave was seen running up and down the shore, screaming for help and say ing that the ground was hot, that the water was boiling and that lava was coming down the mountain. It was im possible to rescue him and the man died a horrible death. A pathetic scene was witnessed when a father end mother, holding each oth er's hands, the woman having an Infant at her breast and with another child at her feet were all struck dead to gether.

Fort de France is tn no danger from the vol cano. but there is considerable appre hension of a panic in the night time, should the grayish yellow cloud reach here and ashes and stones begin to fall. There are no noises front the vol cano at present. For the space of one hour flames rose from the crater to a height of 150 metres. The crater seemed to be about 30*1 metres In diameter.

Adams, Penn., advocated Shattuc's amendment, arguing that beer to im migrants from Germany and other countries of northern Europe, was as necessary as meat and bread and that if the sale of their national beverage was prohibited ihe immigration of a most desirable class would be discour aged. Landis. Ind.. replied that the class of immigrants who would be tempted with a glass of beer on landing were not desirable, and while not a follower of Carrie Nation, he did not believe intoxicating liquors should be sold anywhere on premises of the United States. "If you are so keen about prohibi tion on government property, why do you not vote a resolution to prohibit the sale of liquor in the Capitol?" asked Shattuc. "I would vote this instant,” replied Landis, “for a resolution to prohibit the sale of beer, whiskey or any other Intoxicating liquor in this Capitol.” (Applause.) Proceeding Landis declared that if he could have his way the sale of liquor would be prohibited also with in five miles of every military post and soldiers’ home. Being again taunted by Shattuc, he gave notice that at the first opportunity he would offer a res olution to prevent the sale of intoxi cants in the Capitol amendment. Bartholdt. Mo., opposed the Bowersoek amendment. The vote then was taken up on the Shattuc amendment, which was ‘de feated, 25 to 75. Shattuc then offered the following substitute: "That hereafter it shall be unlawful to sell intoxicating liquors in any immigrant station of other build ing accessible to aliens owned or used by the United States government or in the grounds appertaining to the same." Mann, 111., raised a point of order against the substitute, provoking a round of applause when he character ized the amendment as pure "hysteria." Shattuc said he hoped the "temperance fanatics” would be given an oppor tunity to go on record on the amend ment. Boutell, who was in the chair, sus tained Mann’s point of order. Coehron, Mo., then raised a laugh by remarking dryly that if the same number of gen tlemen who now seemed eager to close lip the bar in the basement of the Cap itol would abstain from patronizing it, it would close up for want of business. The Bowersoek amendment was adopted, 83 to 18. Lnndis. Ind., offered an amendment to prohibit the sale of liquor within the limits of the Capitol building and Wheeler. Ky., offered an amendment to the amendment in the direct, the col lectors of internal revenue to refuse license to sell spiritous. vinous or malt liquors by retail to any person living in a county or district whose inhabi tants have by vote prohibited the sale of intoxicating liquors. Shattuc raised a point of order against the latter amendment and was sustained by the Chair, whereupon Wheeler appealed from the decision. The Chair was sustained, 102 to 16. Landis’ amendment to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors in the Cap itol then was adopted, 108 to 19. There was considerable applause on the floor and in the galleries when the announcement was made. An amendment was adopted provid ing that nothing In the act should be construed to interfere with the Chinese exclusion act. The bill I hen was passed. tlalzell. Pa., from the committee on rules presented a special rule to make the bill to increase the subsidiary silver coinage a continuing order until dis posed of. It provided for two hours general dehate and the reading of the hill for amendment under the ftve mlnute rule. Dalzell read a letter from the secre tary of the treasury urging the nec essary for the proposed legislation. S'-.afTroth. Col., vigorously opposed the consideration of the bill, first on the ground that there was no necessary for a change of the existing law relative to subsidiary coinage, and second because it proposed to suspend the coinage of silver dollars. The previous question on the rule was adopted, but with vote pending on the resolution, the House, at 4.55 P. M. ad journed. IN THE SENATE. Senators Would Like to Finish Busi ness and Adjourn June 24. Washington. May 27.—A fruitless ef-' fort was made just before the adjourn ment of the Senate, today, to secure an agreement on a time for a vote on the Philippine bill. The discussion Indi cated that some day next week event ually would be agreed upon, buj no time was fixed. During the discussion a proposition was made that a time be llxed, on alternate Tuesdays, begin ning next week, for a vote on the Phil ippine bill, the Nicaragua canal bill and the Cuban reciprocity bill and that a final adjournment be agreed on the fourth Tuosday; but it was too start ling to be taken seriously, although' some senators regarded it favorably. For several hours, today. Patterson of Colorado, discussed the Philippine ques- tion, concluding the speech which he I begun, yesterday. After reviewing and commenting on the general Philippine question, he attacked the pending hill,, particularly its provisions regarding the holding of lands, lie declared that it was monstrous and never should be enacted into law. He argued that the Philippines be granted, their independ ence and drew an eloquent word picture of the turning over to the Filipinos by the Uniter States of the island upon the> had established a government. Marly in the session a committee was appointed by the Senate to confer with a like committee of the House about the disagreement which has arisen be tween the two houses as to the army appropriation bill. Soon after the Senate convened, a bill was passed establishing a regular term of the United States court in the western district of Virginia to be held at Roa noke. Harrows, chairman of the committee on privilege and elections, reported that the majority of the committee was opposed to the House resolution providing for tin* election of senators by the people; that a majority of the committee was in favor of the Depew amendment providing that the election of senators In all states shall be uniform and Congress shall have the power to enforce the amendment and tin ally that the majority of the committee was opposed to the resolution as amend ed. In answer to inquiries Barrows said that the committee by majority vote had refused to report tin* resolution as amend ed to the Senate, either favorably or ad versely. He said the committee had not directed him to report the resolution to tin* Senate either favorably or adversely Wellington (Md.) moved to discharge the committee from further consideration of the resolution. This motion went over at the suggestion of Hoar. A resolution offered by Hoar. Monday, requiring the President to inform the Senate whether there be any law which would prevent any Filipino not under ag* from coming 'to the United States and stating his views m desires as to his country to the President or to eithc* branch of Congress, was adopted. The conference report on the army up proprlatlon bill was then called up. Tin question was on Hoar’s motion that tin Senate ask for a full and tree conti-mu tion. insisting on its adoption. Spoonei insisted that the House would regard the adoption of a motion as an affront to its dignity. After some discussion Hoar withdrew his motion. Proctor, in charge of the conference r* port, offered a concurrent resolution I'm the appointment of a committee of three senators to meet with a. like committe. ol the House to conler on the subject of conferences between the two Houses es pecially on the question of instruction, to conferees. Pettus offered an amendment to Proc tor’s motion providing that the measure to be considered ny the joint committe* should be particularly the message of tie* House on the army appropriation bill This amendment was accepted by Proc tor and. as amended, the resolution wa* adopted. The Chair (Platt, Ct.) named Spooner. Proctor and Pettus as the committee on the part of the Senate. Consideration then was resumed of the Philippine government bill. Patterson, continuing Ids speech in opposition ?o th government’s policy as to the Philip pines. Discussing the pending bill, Pat terson maintained that under it corpora tions could hold almost any amount ol land. Three or four individuals could or ganize themselves into a hundred differ ent corporations, he maintained, and thus acquire an unlimited amount of land. Patterson declared that the measun was a monstrous one and urged th,000,000 in direct appro priations and for work authorized. Among the important Senate amend ments which were retained are the follow ing: Improving Bneksport harbor. Me. $20,000; improving Point Judith harbor. R. I.. $10,000: harbor of refuge.

MADE BY PROPRIETORS OF "RISING SUN STOVE POLISH THE UNITARIANS Cannot Resist Temptation to Dabble in Politics And Have Warm Discussion Over Resolutions on Philippines. President’s Address, Officers’ Reports and Sermon by Dr. Hale. Ronton, May 27.—The annual address of the president, Rev. Samuel A. Elli ott, D. D., was a feature of today’s Unitarian anniversary. The address reviewed the work accomplished by the association and referred to the promis ing outlook. In concluding, President Elliott ex pressed the hope that the gathering would not adjourn without expression of feeling “ill regard to the matters of common interest and apprehension in our national affairs. We cannot sit in frigid tameness,” lie said, "while burn ing issues are discussed. We have no occasion to indulge in argument or to meddle in the details of politics, but we ought to insist upon the fundamen tally moral character of the issues of the hour.” These sentiments were enthusiasti cally applauded. The report of the secretary. Rev. Charles E. St. John of Erookline, fol lowed. lie dwelt at length upon the work in the different churches and the hampering conditions surrounding the work. lie advocated a number of changes in various sections of New England Which would leave the associ ation in a better position for future work. Continuing, he said: "The year has brought forth 12 now Unitarian churches, 21 fresh preaching stations. 27 additions to the list of min isters, seven of whom have been re ceived from various orthodox denomi nations, and around and above ail these visible things is the halo of deepened consecration and a more determined earnestness.” Then followed the election of officers' with this result: President, Rev.

Paul Revere Frothlngham of Boston, introduced a resolution which in part is as follows: "To the President and the two Houses of Congress: "At the annual meeting of the Amer ican Association, held in Boston. May 27. 1902, it was voted by a majority of the delegates and members to offer this proof of their deep concern for a just, honorable and humane settlement of difficulties with the Philippine Islands. "It seems to be generally admitted that the cruelties and brutalities now known to be practiced on both sides are almost necessarily incidental to our attempt to subjugate a people in an other stage of development, whose struggle for independence has been ar rested by our arms, who never felt it to be to their interest or duty to acknow l edge allegiance to our government and w ho are obliged to regard us as foreign ers and invaders.” "»o believe the people of the l nited States do not want the Filipinos ns citizens and cannot hold them as citi zens; that protracted military occupa tion must be alike depressive to them and burdensome to ourselves; that while they can never be reconciled to any dominion they do desire our friendship and would welcome our as sistance in the establishment of order and government, and would make any reasonable concession to secure our protection against encroachment. We believe there need by no conflict be tween their lights or duties Hnd oui own and that even self-interest points in tlic direction of a policy similar to tiiat which we hate honorably pursued1 with Cuba." The resolution was received with great applause. A resolution also was introduced condemning the employment of chil dren under Id years of age in the mills of the Southern States. The resolu tions were referred to the committee on resolutions. Tile resolutions on th1’ Philippine! situation as presented at the forenoon! session created a lively discussion, this afternoon, when reported hack to the ■onvention by the resolutions commit-1 toe to which they were referred, and were finally amended and adopted. Ini reporting the resolutions to the con-J vention the committee stated that in view of the fact that the advisability if adopting such a memorial was ques tioned by some members of the com mittee. the latter had compromised by inserting directly after the first para graph tlic following; “We would insist In the strongest terms on the duty of pursuing a course that shall bo fundamentally moral, that j thall recognize the profound truth that that which is morally wrong can never tie politically right.” Rev. T. R. SI leer of Xew York, was! the first speaker. He said the resofu- I lions seemed moderate and wise in statement, but he felt they did not go ar enough. He then offered this imendment. "We offer to the President and to Con- ;ress our sympathy and confidence in the difficult and perilous task ill which they seek to follow emancipation from oppres sion with the blessings of self govern ment." Kev. T. C. Williams of Tarrytown, N. Y.. announced himself as an anti-impe rialist and vigorously opposed both reso lutions and amendments, declaring them a “mush of concession.” Rev. Edward umminss of the Snutn Congregational church. Boston, said they all knew President Roosevelt's attitud'* on this question. He did not wish to have the Philippine islands, but what don cannot be helped. The speaker be lieved in emphasizing the moral aspect of these questions a-nd thought a part of the resolutions 'Unnecessary. He there fore moved to strike out ail that portion i of the resolutions which stated that “it seems generally admitted that cruelties and brutalities known to have been prac j liced on both sides are almost necessari ly incidental to an attempt to subjugat a people in another stage of development,, j and we believe that the people of the Cnited States do not wish the Filipinos for citizens.’* The Sllcer amendment was then put and declared carried by a close vote and a few minutes later it was voted to strike I it out. The debate continued on the motion of Mr. Cummings, Rev. Paul Revere Froth ingham, Rev. Adelbert L. Hudson of Newton, and others participating. Mr. Hudson asserted that the resolutions would do the association harm. The peo ple of this country, lie said, have confi dence in Theodore Roosevelt and do not think him unwise or an imperialist. Said he: “Our country recently lost a Presi dent. Expressions of disapproval and false charges that he was an imperialist and about everything else caused infer ences abroad that plotted his assassina tion. (Loud hisses and cries of "no.' “People in the West and South will h»» asking what is Fnitarianism? and the re ply will come, Oh! it is a compound of crank and imperialists of Boston.** He concluded by moving the indefinite postponement of the resolution. Rev. Richard Baynlon of St. Paul, and Rev. Charles O. Ames of Boston, spoke in favor of the resolution. The motion to indefinitely postpone was then defeated and the amendment of Mr. jt'ummings was adopted, thus leaving only the first and last sections of tin* original resolutions as presented by Rev. Mr. Froth Ingham. Various committee reports were also read at the afternoon session. Rev. Edward Everett Hale preached the anniversary sermon this evening, in Tre I mont Temple. He pleaded for more sim ple open communications between one re gion and another region, communica tions which shall relieve the terrible con Igesiions oi today, and said: “There must be access into the great 1 American des« rt for the blessing of man kind. The white man. the black man and the red man must live each for the tilers’ good. They must bear each otli er’s burdens. Instead of one Hampton 1 or Tusktegec you must build many such I homes. It is not a time for mere song j or sentiment. It is time for work. It w a time for all, for you and for me. And this means\hat the nations of the world are to be united, that there shall bo but one world, that nations shall not take up the sword against nation.” TENNIS TOURNAMENT.

"I never witness the damp, rainy weather and showers of the spring,” said a physician, "without a feeling of alarm for the thousands of men and women obliged to hurry to the mills, shops and stores and there stand all day With wet clothing and damp feet. The colds thus taken are followed sooner or later by serious illness, weakened constitutions and broken health.” A good protection against exposure of this kind is to supply bodily warmth by increasing the vitality of the sys tem, which enables you to escape colds. The food elements of Father John’s Medicine do this besides curing the cold; and in the spring when the vitality is low, this old prescription as sists nature by corecting the assimila tion of food by which the blood is nourished—and when that is done the impurities are driven tint.

RUTCH-BOUND The crutch is a poor substitute for legs, and affords a verv inconvenient ana tiresome mode ot locomotion—there is no more pathetic sight than a person slowly and painfully moving along the street supported by these artificial limbs. When Rheumatism settles in the bones and muscles of the legs, it is safe to predict that the victim will eventually become helpless and crutcli-bound. The corrosive, irritating matter that is deposited in the joints and muscles causes the most intense pain, the knees and ankles swell, and when the natural oils and fluids that lubricate these parts are completely destroyed the joints become locked and me muscles urawn aim sun, anu cruicues a necessity. The acid poisons that produce rheumatic pains form in the blood, and are distributed through the system, and lodged in the arms, shoulders, hands, back and feet, or other parts of the body—resulting often in total disability. A permanent cure of Rheumatism can be effected only by a complete cleans ing of the blood, aiul no other remedy so surely accomplishes this as S. S. S. It neutralizes the acid effects, purifies and invigorates the stagnant blood. and the gritty particles are washed out or dislodged by the new rich blood, and relief conies to the pain-racked sufferer.

A committe of telegaph operators representing thp m*n employed on the 'Illinois Central Uaiiroad have met rep resentatives of the company to discuss a proposition submitted by the tele graphers. -The railroad officials heard the grievances and an early reply is expected. The principal grievance, it is understood is in the pay the men are receiving and the number of hours they are required to work. They have the support of the Brotherhood of Railway Telegraphers and assert that nearly every operator belongs to that organi zation. Some of the Western railroatls are ac cused of helping the American Sugar Refining Co. in its alleged effort to kill the beet sugar industry in Nebras ka and Colorado according to the Chi cargo Inter-Ocean. Three railroad lines are said to have joined a steam ship line in making a through rate of S3 cents per hundred pounds of sugar from New York via Galveston to Kan sas City, St. Joseph, Omaha and Lln icoln. Neb. On this rate the sugar com pany has just shipped into the Missouri river territory 200 carloads of sugar, aggregating 5,000,000 pounds. The re sult is that this sugar is put on that market at a lower figure than the beet sugar growers of Nebraska and Col orado can meet and realize any profit. DOUBTFUL RUMORS, And Still Scores of Augusta People Ac cept Them as Facts. The published statement of some stranger residing in a far-away place may be true enough, but it is generally accepted as a doubtful rumor. How can it be verified! The testimony which follows is convincing proof be cause it comes from a resident of Au gusta. Mrs. Thos. O. Pease, of 19 Gage street, says: “'The lapse of time, and it is now over two years and a half since Mr. Pease took a course of the treatment prescribed by Doan's Kidney Pills, was cured, and allowed the state ment to be published hi our Augusta papers. I repeat lapse of time has only proven that Doan's Kidney Pills are a remarkable lemedy ;und that the cures effected by them are radical. Mr. Pease and myself will be only too pleased to confirm the opinions ex pressed above in a personal interview. In the meantime our advice to suffer ers from Kidney complaint is go to K. Partridge's drug store, buy a box, take it ns directed and they will lie surprised at the results.” Sold by all dealers at SO' cents per box. Foster-Milhurn Go., MnfTalo, .V.

What a pity it will be if the dove of peace, after liutterir.g so long, doesn’t really alight in South Africa, this time. Andrew Carnegie isn't the first rich man to find it hard work to give money away. Some whom we know find it simply impossible. (tuba starts out with only four poli tical parties, hut ihe list will soon in crease. One of the earliest and most prominent additions will be the annex ation party. Senator Hoar must have forgotten a certain important part of our country’s early history when he paid tribute to fho South African burghers for "the most splendid struggle since Bannock burn.” Now that a pugilist has been killed in Boston it is suddenly discovered that .Massachusetts has laws against prize fighting and numerous matches scheduled for tic- immediate future are off. Perhaps a similar occurrence may yd arouse two or tluee Maine cities to the realization that such a law exists. Governor Jefferson Davis of Arkan sas has sent his picture to the Boston Journal and with it a brief write-up oi himself. The ear which appears in the picture is of little more than hu man length, but there is every reason to suppose that the other one is of the elongated type to be expected in one of his species. They take polities very seriously in laits of the Wes'. Though it is not a gubernatorial year in Ohio and only a few minor state officials are to be elected in November, they are holding Ihe state convention this week, and will enter promptly upon the state campaign. In Illinois and Indiana the state conventions were held, several weeks ago. Marconi's beautiful brunette fiancee, who bailed from Indianapolis and succeeded in getting so much ad vertised, didn't take any chances on Retting short circuited a second time and is now the •brhtc of the Belgian count whom she looped tut her second trip abroad. If Marconi’s grief has driven him to drink or suicide the fact has been carefully kept out of the papers. The magnates of the beef trust sol emnly swear that they are losing money by selling its product to re tailers at $11 a hundred, undressed; yet it is pointed out that the average bid of Armour I'o. tor dressed beef for the Indians was $S.2t a hundred, anil those of the other members of the combination wer almost equally low. Probably they are to patriotic that they enjoy doing business with the government at sic h a loss as this would indicate! The success of Willis 1*1. Ituchellei*, the Ketmebee boy who stands in the front rank of the singers and teachers of the metropolis, is very gratifying to u wide circle of friends in this section of the State. Pike many anotlvr Maine hoy he left home to fight his battle ill the keen competition of the great centers, and by pluck and merit he has won a leading place in his profession, as is amply indicated by the i lippings from New York papers which we pub lish elsewhere. His plan to open a summer school of music at Wilton l.ake in this State is a unique idea and will undoubtedly prove a success. Such a school at such a beautiful spot will have a special claim for his city pupils and cannot fail to be popular. Corporal O'Brien, whose testimony a limit Philippine •‘outrages," gave such cheer to the "antis," turns out to lie one of the champion liars of his Reiteration. Even among the many who have brought home absurd and outrageous yarns from the Philippines he stands out in a class by himself. The testimony of superior officers and the introduction of official records show that O’Brien told with close at tention to detail about things that hap pened w hen he was 30 miles away. He described outrages and excesses com mitted by nliirers who were never within 00 miles of tlie place where the alleged affairs occurred. He testified to conditions and occurrences which are flatly contradicted by evidence that cannot be doubted. The promised sensation of his* testimony falls very fiat, and the laugh is on those Con gressmen sind editors whoso eager redulity led them to believe him. That was a tragic end to a hazing episode in Vermont when a freshman, to escape pursuing sophomores, leaped into a lake and was drowned. The dispatches indicate that the pursuit was all in the spirit of fun to prevent the freshman from attending a class banquet, but it proved a most serious and unfortunate matter. The freshman must have been panic-stricken to an I absurd degree or else animated by an extreme spirit of foolhardiness, for it Is certain that no harm was ’meant him by Ills pursuers who were simply carrying out the old custom of attempt ing to prevent the annual freshman banquet. Such an affair can hardly be called hazing in the common ac ceptance of the term, but it was a most unhappy outcome of class rivalry and undergraduate exuberance which will injure the college and bring sorrow into many lives. YYnen we remember that "boys will be boys" and that so many of them are gathered in college communi ties it is really remarkable that there arc so few tragic or serious outcomes to the contests, rivalries and es capades in which they are naturally and inevitably concerned. American Methodism, always an ag gressive and militant force, promptly followed our flag lino the Philippines and has been doing noble work there, both in the cause of Christianity and in making easier the great work of our government in the archipelago. There is no fault-finding with our Philippine policy, it will be noticed, from the leaders of this movement. They are on th-‘ ground an 1 know the conditions and the progress made. Rev. Homer Stunts, who lcs had charge of the Methodist missions in Manila, brings home a report of conditions In the Philippines which is highly important and authoritative. “The opinion seems to prevail in this country,” he says, "that the Philippine Islands are in a state of warfare ami chaos, but four fifths of the land surface of those islands is as well under peace as Ken tucky.” As to vr.ie!Ues,t this clergy man says that tlieie have been such on both sides, but that they are “a rare incident in a war tarried on by human beings, not all of whom have attained entire sanctification." This Methodist missionary adds that “that lias never been more humanity shown than in that very war, and it, the hospitals the Pilipino wounded ■■re treated just like our own." When the Liiacs Blow. Cod's splendid world is fairest When the lilacs blew: The days are brightest, rarest.

A MAINE TEACHER Success of Mr, Bacheller and His Pupils in New York. He Will Conduct a Summer School of Music at Wilton Lake. We clip the following notice of Willis K. Bacheller and hi11. Sachs, Weismantle, Hor ton, Wen eg it*. Vinton, Burleigh, Simon, Paxton, Merrit, Wenige and Baldwin. The program was: “Stabat Mater.” Pergolas! H'or soli and female voices). “Ave Maria/' ("Otelio”) Verdi Fdna Phebe Smith. “Bergnaeht,” Berger “Ye Who Have Yearned Alone.” Tschaikowski Kthelyn Hope Burleigh. “Cradle Song,” Hies •'Because 1 hove You. Dear,” Hawley Miss Wilson. Six Tuscan duos, Carriciolc Miss Smith and Miss Burleigh, chorus, “Stars of a Summer Night,” West Mr. Danielson was at the piano. Mr. ISat-heller's ideas of voice culture eviil- ntly are not involved, as his stu deats know what- they want and proeeea to do it in earnest simplicity. Jt is re fresiling to see young singers stand before an audienee and sing as if they had some thing to say, without affectation or man nerisms. As tone is the eardlnat principle of singing, these young folk gave a splen did example of Mr. Bacheljer's teaching in that direction. Miss Smith's voice is a clear, true so prano and her singing of the “Ave Ma ria" was not simply so many notes and words strung together, hut a soulful ap preciation of this beautiful song. Miss Burleigh's singing was a fine ex ample of temperament and color, with delightfully sustained tone work. She is fortunate in possessing these qualities, an they arc rare. Miss Wilson seems to have a mezzo voice of much power and a velvety qual ity. H r songs were a delight, especially the last few measures of “Because I Love You, Dear." These Tuscan duos should be heard oft ener. They are beautiful. The New York papers also make the an nouncement that Mr. and Mrs. Willis K. Bacheiler will open a summer school of music at Wilton Lake, Me., which will continue ten weeks. With the musical temperament a loin- for nature is likely to be united, and in opening a summer school in Maine, far from the cities* noise and heat, Mr. Bacheiler appeals to the many-sided nature of the musical student and opens a |>a;h to much pleasure in the hot months. He has bought about ninety acres of land upon the east shore of beau tiful Wilton Lake, commanding an ex tend* d view of mountains and lake. Here ten camps have b-en built overlook ing the water. One of them is devoted to the dining room and kitchen arrange ments alone. The others are smaller, con taining one, two nr three rooms for the accommodation of from two to four per sons. Each little cabin has its own com fortable beds, furnishings and fireplace. This lovely spot, with its mountain air. pane spring water, pure food, fresh vege tables from the garden, milk, cream, eggs and butter from the farm, and altogthir healthful outdoor life, flas been chosen as best adapted to the development of both voice and health. All outdoor sports, like bathing, fishing, (salmon and black bassi, golf, tennis and'mountain climb ing, are at hand. The old town of Wilton is within a ten minute walk, and the rail road station is about a mile distant. Mr. and Mrs. Bacheiler have given recitals in [Maine for several summers. In his wife Mr. Bacheiler finds an able coadjutor. Site is a graduate of Wellesley and, like her husband, studied for more than two years with Vincenzo Vannini in Florence, Mile. Blaze de Bury in I’aris and Shakespeare in London. In his New York teaching, both in the College of Music, where he is one of the staff, and in IVIham. Mr. Bacheller has had the as sistance of his wife, and both have been exceptionally successful. Each has t j beautiful voice, Mrs. Bacheller's being a clear soprano. She is also a pianist of no mean merit. Her husband is known as one of the leading tenors of the country. This summer school of music not only will teach the art of singing, hut united with the vocal department will be a pi- j ano school. For this lint- of work Mr. Ita. heller has assoeiated with him I’erle V. Jervis, the prominent concert pianist and teucher, who will conduct a school for tin* study of piano playing. Mr. Jer vis's reputation as one of the most suc cessful players and teachers, his many years of association with I>r. William Mason. Dudley Buck and A. 1C. Virgil, and his extensive experience in teaching their methods make him an authoritative exponent of the most recent methods of teaching and playing. in addition lo tiie ten weeks' course Mr. Jervis will conduct, beginning July 7. a five weeks' course in teaching methods, designed especially for teachers; also courses in Mason's "Touch and Technic" and tiie Virgil Heavier Method. For these especial courses students will address Perlee V. Jervis, Steinway Hall, New York. The price for the Bacheller sum mer course is remarkably small, as the $160 asked includes board, two lessons a week; diction in French, German and Italian; sight reading and chorus sing ing. There also will be room for rela tives. Among Mr. Bacheller's engagements in the near future are the Elmira Musical Festival on May 15 and 16 and the Bed ford Choral Festival on May 1:1. Others are pending in early June and two con certs are hooked for Maine in the same month. Concert by Augusta Chorus.

LOCAL MATTERS AMUSEMENTS. “The Gold King.” May Fiske appeared at the Opera house, last evening, in •'The Gold King.” a typical drama of Western life. A murder, th*- innocent convicted of the crime, an escape from prison, four yea is in hiding in the West and then the guilty brought to justice and a happy marriage. Thus the story goes and In "The Gold King" it is nicely worked out and in the hands of the May Fiske Go. it is skilfully presented. Miss Fiske appeared as “Fug” and did a very clever piece of work. Harry S. Hadlield, who took the part of Jack Redmond and later appeared as the “Gold King.” was also worthy of much praise. I*ennis O’Hara, impersonated by H. S. Nodtne, was the funny man. Nodine took the part of the German in the play of the previous evening and seems to be at home in either character. The house was a good sized one. in fart large for the lateness of tit'- sea son.

Tho special committee which has in charge the selection of a suitable site, as well as the acceptance of plans and tin letting of the contract for the new Maria Clark Grammar school, has practically concluded that the present site of the Mann school is the best that can be secured. The action, if conclu sive it may lie, is not the result of hasty or prejudiced consideration, but rather a decision, a condition which ex ists after everything in connection with the matter has been weighed pro and con. They were inclined to favor a location facing the east, and, too, as nearly central location ns possible was necessary, for reasons which are obvi ous: good sewerage, good light and environments were all to lit: considered. The Laketnan lot on Middle street is of sufficient dimensions with adjoining parcels of land which could lie secured, but it is said that the abrupt slope of the la mi, the absence of sewerage as well as the consequent abandoning of one of tlie best sehoolhouses in the city, are good and sufficient reasons why tiie plan should be deemed inadvisable. It is said that a site near the Classi cal school building was negotiated for but without success, as Gen. Hubbard, the present owner, intimates that it" will have eventual need of the prop rty. Tlie Mann lot is of central loca tion, is owned by tho city and is large enough to allow the erection of such a building planned without the appear ance of crowding. Local Notice. Tulips for sale. An abundance of blossoms far Memorial day. Also dahlia roots ready for planting. Mrs. A. H. Ohadbourne, 29 Middle street, Hallowoll. may28d2t NATIONAL HOME.
