They Don't Want More Promises, but They Want Their Money. Waterviile, Me.. May 23.—(Special). —It seems that the lull in the .strike situation at North Vassalboro, Tues day. was only sueli a lull as often pre eeeds n storm. After a part of the men had received their money and the remainder had been promised theirs. Wednesday, things quieted down to about their usual standing. Of course the men who did not get their money were not in a particularly pleasing frame of mind, hut still they were will ing to wait one more day. Hut hour after hour passed.

Last Meeting of Year—Great Improve ment Shown in Work. Lewiston, Me., May SR.—(Special). The members of the Students Senat* In Id their lest meeting of the year, last evening'. There was a large numbei [■resent anil a very interesting program i. hii h had been partially arranged ac cording to Professor Foster’s sugges tion, was carried out. The 4. Fortier, '04, and Briggs, '01 The speakers from the floor were In Meyer, ’05, Lord, '03, Elkins. '02, and Me Lean, '02. The question was very ably discussed and the work of tin Senate, last evening, shows a wonder ful improvement over that manifested at the beginning of the year. It is c suffii tout proof that the training offer ed the students in this line has been excellent. The interest in the senate work has steadily increased through the year and no doubt it will commence next fall with its usual large number of members who will take an active part. It was thought hist to adjourn the meetings until next term, owing to the fact that from now until the dost of the year there will be an extra amount of college work for the stu dents to do. Last night. President Spofford an nounced that Judge Drew of this city, has presented the Senate with a gavel. Judge Drew intended to be present to make a few remarks upon the presen tation of the gavel but being called away on business s'-nt a brief letter to the Senate tendering his congratula tions upon its success. The success of the Senate Itas been largely due to the suggestions and as sistance of Professor Foster the Eng lish instructor. Mr. Clason '02 and Mr. Holman, ’02, who have I Ken at I.ongwood. Mass., for the past few days, to represent Bates in the intercollegiate tennis tounament are expected to return to Lewiston, to morrow. ANDROSCOGGIN PROHIBITIONISTS Nominate Rev. C. S.

Alleged Accusers of Plummer Deny Connection With Case. Recorder Wheldon Declines to Sit at Preliminary Hearing. Portland, Me., May 28.—Because of the unwillingness of Recorder Whelden to sit in judgment on the case, the hearing on the charge of bribery brought against Deputy Sheriff (.'has. A. Plummer, which was to come up in the municipal court, Wednesday, was continued to Thursday, June 5. Deputy Plummer was present in court with his attorney, ex-Judge Fos ter and County Attorney Whitehouse was prepared to proceed with the hear ing, hut Recorder Whelden requested that he be allowed to continue the case until the return of Judge Hill, who is out of the city. The recorder said that if the attor neys insisted upon a hearing, Wednes day, they might proceed, but that he would prefer not to take the responsi bility in a ease where there was so mueh at stake and in which the public was so deeply interested. The attor neys agreed to tie- continuance, and tin case went over until one week from Thursday. Deputy Plummer furnished hail in the sum of $P«Hl for his appear ance at that tome. Deputy Plummer, who had not taken part in a liquor raid since his arrest, rejoined the seizing force, this after noon, and raided the Dewey house on Fore street. They found an ingenious hiding place in the cellar-—a buried tool best containing about ">0 half pints ol whiskey. Interest in the bribery eases seems to be steadily increasing and rumors of sen sational developments yet to come are heard on every side, it was said, this af ternoon, the defence in the Plummer ease has obtained a statement from one of the rumsellers named in the list of men whom Plummer is alleged to have been paid to protect to the effect that before lie told the story of alleged bribery lie was promised immunity from prosecution; that he received such a promise from a number of promim lit politicians whose names he has mentioned. William 13. Stone, a druggist whose name was included In the list of Plum mer's alleged bribery clients, has com? out with a stab ment thafhe never had any dealings with Plummer, directly or indirectly. It is expected that some sensational testimony will tic hi ought out at the hear ing, Thursday, and there .are many ’ru mors of counter suits, which, if brought, will :issuri* interesting developments. MORE OR NOTHING. Sheriff Pearson Doesn't Like Pension of $6 Per Month. Portland, Me., May 28.—Eight years ago Sheriff Pearson applied for a pen sion and lias just been given $ii a month. He wants more or nothing and will ask for an increase. He served in the -tilth Massachusetts Regiment dur ing tite Civil War, and was at the bat tles of Deep Run, those of the Penin sula, Cold Harbor and Mine Run. He was injured while helping to build a stockade at Miners Hill pud says he has suffered from the effect of it ever since. COLLEGE COMPLEXIONS. Can be Ruined by Coffee. Nothing so surely mars a woman's roninlexion as coffee drinking. A young college girl of Hyattsville, Md., says, "I never drank toffee up to the time I went to college, and as long as you are not going to publish my name will ad mit that 1 was proud of my pink and white complexion, but for some reason 1 began drinking coffee at school and when vacation came I looked like a wreck. Was extremely nervous and my face hollow and sallow. All my friends said college life had been too much for me. After question ing me about my diet mother gave me a cup of strong, rich coffee at breakfast although formerly she had objected to the habit, hut the secret came out in a few weeks when everybody began to comment on my improved looks and spirits. She said she had been steadily giving me Postum Food Coffee and 1 did not know it. “My color came baeje, much to my delight and I was fully restored to health. I will return to college without the slightest fear of losing ground for 1 know exactly where the trouble lies. "Mother says the first time she had Postum made no one would drink it for it was pale and watery, but the next day she did not trust to the cook but examined the directions and made it herself. 'She found the cook had just let it come to the boiling point and then served it, and it was tasteless, but the beverage made according to direc tions, by proper boiling, is delicious and has a remarkable 'taste for more.’ One cup is seldom enough for father now. “I have a young lady friend who suf fered several years front neuralgia and headache, obtaining only temporary relief front medicines. Her sister final ly persuaded her to leave off coffee and use Postum. She is now very pro nounced in her views as to coffee. Says it was the one thing responsible for her condition, for she is now well and the headaches and neuralgia are things of the past. Please do not publish my name.” Name can be given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. OHIO REPUBLICANS Unanimously Indorse the Policy of Pres. Roosevelt. The Ovation of the Day Was Tendered to Senator Hanna. The Senator Eloquently Upholds the Policy of McKinley. Cleveland, Ohio, May 28.—The Repub lican state convention which lias been a continued ovation here all the week to Senator Hanna, dosed, this evening, with a great demonstration in his honor, to which he responded in a characteristic speech. The senator at former state conventions lias sounded keynotes that were taken up by Re publican glee clubs. He told them, to day, to Ping “keep on letting well enough alone” in the campaign rallies this year. The convention was distinguished for harmony in the chorus for Hanna in all that was done. One of the lust re concialiations was that of Senator Hanna and Former Governor Asa ri. Hushnel of Springfield. Senator Hanna anil George It. Cox of t’incinnati also had a friendly fare well, tonight, after a contest during the day over nominations. What were called the Hanna men won on all ballots, but Cox supported none of the winners. In making up the state ticket Hanna and Cox were on opposing sides, today, same as in the contest for the organization of the Leg islature, last January, hut good feeling prevailed after the convention was ovi r. Gen. Grosvenor was heartily receiv ed, as was Jen. Dick when he read the resolutions which were adopted snb stantiallv as h" had drafted them, with the exception of the Cuban reso lution, on which there was a com promise. The ticket: Secretary of state, Lewis O. Layin of Norwalk. Judge of supreme court, Wm. R. Crew of McConnellsville. Food and dairy commissioner, Horace Ankt noy, Xenia. Member of the board of public works, Wm. Kirkley, Jr., of Defiance. 'I'lie convention re-assembled, this morning. After prayer by Rev. M. Simons, pastor of the Unity church in this city. Gov. Nash, as the tem porary chairman, called for reports. The reports of the committees on cre dentials, rules anil order of business were submitted and adopted. The re port making General Charles II. Gros venor premanent chairman and con tinuing the rest of the temporary or ganization was then adopted. When Gov. Nash presented Gov. Grosvenor the latter received quite an .ovation. When Gen. Dick was intro iuced he was loudly applauded. He read tile resolutions with such effect that he was cheered as he proceeded, •■specially on the references to the re moval of Hanna, Foraker and Gov. Nash. n his motion the> resolutions were adopted as follows: "The Republicans of Ohio, in repre sentative convention before dealing with questions which immediately con i'crn the living, turn aside with pro found reverence to lay their tribute on the grave of the dead. We deeply la ment the tragic death of President Mc Kinley and cherish the illustrious life and noble example as the highest in spiration to patriotic consecration and service. Enshrined forever in the hearts of his countrymen, their unceas ing devotion garlands ids memory, and on their augmented content and great ness under his sure guidance is rear 'd his worthiest and most enduring noumnent. Through his legislative ind administrative achievements he is justly recognized as the chief architect of our later industrial growth, and as the pathfinder of our opening career of commercial expansion. His measures restored prosperity, diffused confidence and security, promoted fraternal eon cord, pointed the way to reciprocal ad vantages in commercial exchanges, en larged the republic, advanced its pres tige and influence among the nations, carried liberty to oppressed people, and placed our country in the van of the forces for civilization and humanity. “We cordially sustain President Roosevelt in his pledge to carry for ward the great work which came to him as a sacred legacy. We recognize his earnest and conscientious devotion to the welfare of the people, and ap prove the high aims and character of his administration. He faithfully maintains the plighted faith of the na tion. upholds the best standard of the public service, anil stands by the i>oli cies which assure stability and confi dence. He represents a civil patriotism of the highest type and the destinies of country are safe in his hands. In his frank, able and courageous efforts to protect the public interests he is en titled to full and unreserved support." The resolutions warmly commend Hov. Nash, Senators Foraker and Hanna and endorse the record of Re publican Congresses, "especially' those since the inauguration of William Mc Kinley.” “We deem it especially proper that the Republicans of Ohio, the state of William McKinley, should at this time call attention to the general prosperity which followed his first election to the Presidency. A protective tariff law was quickly passed nnd the gold standard firmly established. From a condition of great business depression and unex ampled suffering among those depend ent upon our industries, the result of Democratic free trade, the country quickly passed to a state of business activity and universal prosperity, the most remarkable in the history of the world. All labor is now employed and at wages higher than ever before known. So great is the country’s pros perity and so ample the revenues un (Continued on page 2.) A NATIONAL FUNERAL Accorded Remains of Late Lord Pauncefote of England. Pres. Roosevelt and Scores of Wash ington Officials in Attendance. Remains Taken to Cemetery to Await Removal Home. Washington, May 28.—The remains of tho late Lord Pauncefote, British am bassador to Washington, Wednesday, were accorded a national funeral, in token of the high esteem set by the American people on the personal worth of the deceased and in acknowledge ment of the friendly feeling which is cherished toward Great Britain. Every department of the national government was represented and num erous members of the diplomatic body, over which the deceased was dean, was present in the persons of ambassadors, ministers and charges, in addition to these the resident society of the capi tal was fully represented. The pres ence of 1000 men in arms was the visi ble sign of military participation in the funeral. The church of which the de ceased was a member did honor to his memory by bringing to Washington to conduct the services the coadjutor bishop of Philadelphia, the ltev. Mac kay Smith. Since Lord Pauneefote's death, last Saturday morning, the remains had been lying in state in the large salon at the embassy building. The British ensign stood at half-mast over the main doorway and a sweeping bow of blac k crepe told of the presence of death within the house. Soon after 1" o'clock Wednesday morning, tho sound of inatelling feet and the toots of funeral music gave no tice of an approach of the funeral es cort. This was ccmiiosed of the 2d Squadron of the 2d Cavalary and the c'avalary Band the latter mounted on white horses; the 4th Field Battery, the 3d Battalion of the United Stales Engi neers, and band and a battalion of the? United States Marines and band. The soldiers wen* aligned on either side of <’ounecticut avenue and the adjacent streets, and stood at rest while the clergymen and pall bearers entered the e mbassy building. The pall be arers were: Herr Von Hol lenben, the German ambassador; M. Jules Canibon. the French ambassa dor; Comte Cassini, the Russian, am bassador; Senor Don Manual lie As pires*:. the Mexican ambassador; Signor Edmondo Mayor Ties Planches, the Italian ambassador; See. of State Hay. Speaker Henderson of the* House of Representatives and Sen. Orville M. Platt, acting president pro tun. of the Senate. With little delay the casket was lift ed up on the* shoulders of four brawny sailors and as many soldiers and borne to tin* hearse. Bishop Maekay Smith and Satterlee. who were to officiate at the church, were already seated in their carriage, the mourners and the honor ary pallbearers and the members of the British embassy took their places in the line of carriages, the signal was given and at a slow pace the procession started clown Connecticut avenue to ward St. John's church, the soldiers and marines following in the line- of march as the column moved along. W hen the head of the procession ar rived at the church it halted and the casket was again raised to the should ers of the enlisted men and carried in to the small edifice. The body of the church had been completely tilled before the procession arrived. The dominant idea in seating the spectators.was to concentrate the official classes itt the center of the church. Therefore, even the wives of high officials were not seated with their husbands, but were* accommodated in pews corresponding closely to those occupied by them in location, though on one side of the church. The effect was greatly to enhance the brilliant diplomatic uniforms and those of the army and navy. Pres. Roosevelt had the place of honor at the right of the central pew. With him sat Mi. Raikes, the British charge, and for tills speeial occasion the per sonal representative of King Edward VII. On his left Oapt. Bell, represent ing Canada by special designation. To the left of the Presidential pew and in line with it were Lady Pauncefote and her three daughters, the lion. Sybil, Audrey and Maud. The ambassadors were placed in the pew to the left of these ladies. The corresponding pew on the right of the President was occu pied by Maj. Gen. Young and staff, in charge of the military portion of the funeral service. The stuff of the British embassy sat directly behind the Pauncefote ladles (Continued on page 2.)

Last Two Days Debate Will Be Under 15-Minute Rule. Silver Question Comes Up in Houss on Subsidiary Coinage. Washington, May 28.—An agreement "'as reached in the Senate, today, hy which a final vote on the pending Phil ippine government bill and all amend ments will be taken at 4 P. M. Tues day. Pending the vote the Senate will meet at 11 o’clock each day exrept Fri day, when the Senate will not sit, it being Memorial day. On Monday and Tuesday the debate will be under the 10-minute rule. Burrows. Mich., explained the bill at length, today, and urged Its enactment, maintaining that it would advance the interests and promote the prosperity of the islands. In his judgment it would be a mistake to aeconl to the Filipinos now self-government' and Independence. Such a proceeding could result, he said, only in disaster to the Inhabitants und possible anarchy in the islands. "When the Senate convened, the c lerk read an announcement from the acting president pro tem. Platt, Conn., ap pointing Mr. Gallinger to act as Presi dent pro tern., at today's session. Hoar. Mass., stated that Platt and the President pro tem., Frye. Me., In their i.lllcial capacities, were in attendance upon the funeral (that of Cord PaunCe fote) as were other members of the Senate. He therefore moved, and the motion was agreed to. that the Senate take- a recess until 2 o’clock. Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore, was one of the visitors in the reserved gallery of the Senate at today's session. When the Senate reconvened, at 2 o’clock. Warren presented the confer ence report on the omnibus public building bill and it was agreed to. Consideration was then resumed of the Philippine government bill. Lodge, In charge of the bill, asked thut a time be fixed for a vote 'on the measure. In reply to Culberson, Lodge thought that the Imitiiry now being made by (Continued on page B.)

A PERILOUS TRIP Prof. Hill Goes Dangerously Near Mont Pclee. Witnesses An Eruption at Distance Too Close for Comfcrt. Fort dc France Practically Deserted by Its Inhabitants. U Koit Ue France. May 28.-5 P. M..— A tremendous explosion of very black smoke from Mont Pclee at 8.45 o'clock this morning, accentuated the fears en tertained for the safety of George Ken nan. the American author, who, with a land party, has been examining the northern part of the island, and the governor of Martinique, M. L'llneire, was at once seen in tile matter of ar ranging for a rescue party to proceed by land, in connection with the voyage along the coast of the island of the I'nitcd States ruiser Cincinnati, should such steps appear necessary. At about 11 o'clock this morning, Fernand t'lero, a wealthy land proprie tor of MartiniitU", arrived here and announced that Mr. Kennan and his party were safe on a plantation at the north end of the island. Professor Kobe11 T. Hill, United States government geologist and head of the expedition sent to Martinique by the Notional Geological Society, win. left Fort ile France, Monday, on horse back for tin* volcano, returned here, tills morning. He was completely worn out by his trip. Prof. Hill recites nil interesting story of his examination of the district thiough which he passed. He left Fort lie Fiance at 1 o'clock Monday afternoon. He was accom panied by Mr. t'ovannaugh, an army olfieer for the British island of Trini dad, and a boy who was to ai t as in terpreter.

Monday night was spent in a desert ed house at Funds St. Penis, from which Prof. Hill witnessed and studied the volcanic eruption of that night. At this point the horses of the party be came exhausted. Fatly the next morn ing. Prof. Hill pushed on to Mont P.tr nasse, w here several people were killed in the eruption of May 8. Prof. Hill encounti red no oilman beings, but he did meet a numb r of abandoned cat tle. which tried to follow him. From Mont Pirnasse the explorer proceed' d fur Morne Kimge. There he sui'i i e l d in r itiug a number of im portant photographs, Imt found that a (lose approach In Mont Pclee was im possible. and, as his actual position was dangerous.

It is easy to tel! whether your Kid neys or bladder are diseased. Take a bottle or glass tumbler and fill it with urine. If there is a sediment—a pow der-like substance—after standing a day and night, if it is pale or discolored, ropy or stringy, there is something wrong with the Kidneys. Other sure signs of disease are a desire to urinate often, pain in the back, or if your urine stains linen. There is no question that Dr. David Kenu dy's Favorite Remedy is the best and surest medicine in the world for diseases of the Kidneys, Liver, Bladder and Blood, Rheumatism. Dyspepsia. Chronic Constipation, ana the sick nesses peculiar to women. It quickly relieves ami cures inability to hold urine and the necessity of getting up a number of limes during the night, and imts an end to the scalding pain when passing urine. The Rev. Henry P. Miller, nastor Baptist church, Spartenburg, S. C\, writes: “For eleven years I suffered with kid o v, liver and heart troubles, swim ming in the head, dull headache and numbness of the limbs.

NEW POSTAL CARD. riie McKinley Card Will Be on Sale; Early in June. Delay in Issuing Was Caused by De fective Die. It is now definitely settled that the lew iwistal card, to be olfieially known is the "McKinley” card, bearing the lot trait of the late President, will be hi sale some time during the month of fune. The designs for the McKinley >ostal card has been approved by Third \s.-istant Postmaster-General Madden, electrotypes from the completed die ire now being made. It was announced ast fall that the McKinley postal card could lie on sale about Jan. 1. The lesigu was completed and the die en slaved and approved in ample time, electrotypes w -re made and put upon he presses and the work commenced, -amples of the printing were sub nitterl to the department, but they very so unsatisfactory that an order as given to suspend operations perili ng an investigation. Major J. li. Reeve, chief of the stamp livisii.n. was sent to the factory in Itumford Falls, where spruce trees pass n at one entrance and emerge in the form of completed postal cards at the ither. to ascertain the cause of the in Vl-inl- will k. After numerous experiments it was tended tiiat the plates were defective, inii new electrotypes were ordered from the bureau of engraving and printing. V,| potter results were obtained from the last electros. It was claimed by the experts at the factory that tho lines in the engraving wet e so fine an 1 the shading so delicate that satisfactory work could not be obtained from tiie plates furnished. On lh other hand, the bureau officials •laimed that the plates were perfect, that they were identical with plates previously furnished, that the trouble was with the poor paper stock, poor ink mid fast presses, the contractor having taken the job at a figure compelling (fm to use a poor grade of paper and push the presses to the limit. The department finally condemned the plates and ordered the bureau to design and engrave a new die. Tile first die. finally rejected, repre sented President McKinley almost full faring. The photograph reproduced was one that the late President regard ed as the most natural of himself. The die proof was very fine, the features coming out clear and strong. Printed upon steam presses and cheap paper, the design became an indistinct, blurred spot upon the corner of the card, the fine lines filling up so that one side of the face was unrecogniz able. About the 1st of April the second die was completed. This die was rejected at once, even before electrotypes were made. While free from the objections raise,] against the first die, the second proof showed the President as a man not more than 45 years of age. so Youthful that it did not at all portray 111,’ likeness of the President as be ap pealed during his fi rm of office. The bureau was instructed to prepare another die. and this has just been ap proved. It depicts President McKinley facing to the left, and is a profile, similar to that of Washington upon the two-cent stamp. The lines of the en graving it re not so close, and it is- pre dicted the effect upon the card will be fine. The portrait, while satisfactory, is not really all that c-nuld be desired. There is an extraordinary shagginess to he eyebrows, and a turn to the lower lip which gives a hint of a troubled or “t ross" expression that was not present in the original. Tiie bureau experts say that this cannot be avoided under the process required in making plates for postal cards, that the method of engraving is the reverse of that required in producing postage stamps, which is the specialty of the bureau. The new card-has a medallion at the upper left corner precisely of the same size as the oval containing the portrait of President McKinley. The medallion contains a figure of an eagle with out stretched wings, and bearing in its claws a bundle of arrows and an olive branch. Altogether the design is very attractive, and the card will lie the finest ever produced by this govern ment. I
