Wellington Gilpatrick of Whiting Held for Supreme Court. Wellington Gilpatrick of Whiting, was before Trial Justice Saunders ol Lubec, Monday, charged with .assault with intent to kill on the person ol Winslow Morton, a well-known citi zen of North Lubec. The trouble be gan in this wise: A woman teacher at North I.ubec, boarding at Mrs. Morton's, had been to the post office for the mail and when returning home, was startled to see a man following her. arid observed that he was apparently intoxicated. She started to run but her pursuer kept close to her. When in sight of the house, Mr. Morton, who was looking from the window, noticed her and also that she was being followed. She spoke quickly to Mr. Morton, who went out and ordered the man from the premises. The intruder, however, turned on Mr. Morton and pinned him up in the corner of the fence, threat ening to kill him. Mr. Morton was be ing roughly used. Mrs. Morton, who is a small sized but plucky woman, then took a hand and caught him by the collar, striking him in the face with her free hand. This caused the assailant to release his hold, and backing away he picked up an aimful of large, sharp rocks which he proceeded to throw', one striking Mr. Morton on the left arm. and indicting a painful cut. Mrs. Morton started for the house and pro duced a 1 evolver which caused the hasty retreat of the man. The news of the assault having reached Lubec*. Sheriff W. J. Mohlman made a trip up that way and brought the prisoner to the town jail. Monday morning he was tried and as criminal business is a matter for the higher court, he was bound over in the sum of JfiOn for appearance at the January term. Three witnesses were recog nized in the sum of $50 each for their appearance—Bangor Commercial. NEW BELFAST BRANCH. Maine Central to Build from Rockland to Belfast. Rockland. Me., Oct. 21.—An attorney representing the Maine Central Rail road has been in town several days se curing right of way over different properties for the proposed extension of the steam railroad from Rockland to Belfast via Roekport and Camden, a distance of 2S miles.

Camden voted in favor and Roekport against: so the road was Postponed. Now it is stated on reliable author ity that the road is to be constructed. Such through train service would im prove this rapidly growing section of the coast. The road will complete a circle front Bath to the main line at Belfast. Bangor Aroostook Annual Meeting Bangor.

AN ARREST Is Expected in McElwee Murder Case After the Inquest. Smyrna Mills, Me., Oct. 21.—The of ficers of Aroostook county have been scouring the settlements, today. In search of evidence to convict a mat against whom there are strong suspic ions in the minds of the officers anc friends of the dead lumber surveyor John McElwee, whose mutilated re mains were found, Friday, near Umcu lus lake, not having been seen since he left Moro, July 5, on an exploring trip. County Attorney Shaw, today visited Presque Isle, the home of Me Elwee when not in the depths of the forests, and although he would no talk for publication, tonight, he hintec that his errand had not been a fruit less one. An arrest is expected im mediately after the inquest here, to morrow. The inquest will open, early tomor row forenoon, and will be conductor by Coroner Robert Boyd, the father o Secretary of State Boyd. McElwee'! body, which was removed here aftei being found near Umculcus lake tij the guide, Andrew Byron, will hr viewed by the coroner's jury, tomor row forenoon, and immediately for warded to Presque Isle where th11. He simply maintains that this •lemcnt of dissatisfaction will be set tled satisfactorily. A delegate said, Tuesday, that when it comes to voting tgainst the earnest recommendations if the leaders, few. if any, engineers will vote against the arbitration propo sition, though thqy may not vote at all. \n official of the mine workers supple nented this statement by saying: “Yes. and if the big majority for ■nding the strike has been recorded, •he vote will be made unanimous, hough only a majority vote is needed.” The committee on resolutions held a final meeting before the convention as sembled. at which the resolutions to be Dresented to the convention were re vised and finally'passed upon. ThCy will not be givqn out until formally presented to the delegates. There was a. good deal said among the assembling delegates about the ’ate for returning to work. Thursday cents to be the day most talked of for he resumption, though there arc dele rates who want to start in. Wednesday nothing. This, however, is deemed mpractkable because it would cause onsiderahle confusion. The delegates were prompt in getting lown to work. As soon as Pres. Mitch ell arrived in the hall, at 10.50 A. M.. he called the convention to order. The 'ommittee on resolutions was railed on for its report but was not ready to re spond. The debate on reinstatement of all men in their former positions avas im mediately resumed. The question be fore the committee was a motion to accept the recommendations of the offi cers to call off the strike and submit all questions at issue to the arbitration commission. A delegate from the Ha zelton region asked how the individual operators stood on the arbitration plan. He called attention to the fact that the arbitration offer made by the railroad presidents did not contain the name of John Markle or the name of any other individual concern. In reply Mr. Mitch ell said that while no individual opera tors had signed the plan he did not un derstand that they were against It. An impassioned speech by another delegate from the Wyoming valley fol lowed. He asked the men to stop talk ing about all getting back to work. He hoped the convention would take a vote by noon and end the strike. In all vic torious wars men have fallen and there are some to fall in this one. The de bate was continued for 15 minutes (Continued on page 5.) ARBITRATION COMMISSION. Washington, Oct. 21.—Shortly before 3 o'clock this afternoon. President Roosevelt received a telegram from Wilkesbarre. Pa., informing him that the convention of miners had declared off the anthracite coal strike. The tele gir.ro was signed by John Mitchell, chairman, and W. B. Wilson, secre tary uf the convention, and was iden tical with that made public at Wilkes barre before noon, today. Immediately on receipt of the infor mation the following telegram was sent to Mr. Mitchell: White House, Washington. 1J. t\, Oct. 21, 1902. Mr. John Mitchell, Chairman of Con vention. Wilkesbarre, Pa.: Upon receipt of your telegram of this date the President summoned the com mission to meet here on Friday next, the 24th inst., at 10 A. M. (Signed) George B. Cortelyou, Secretary. News of the termination of the strike was received by the President with great satisfaction. Before the formal telegram from Mr. Mitchell had reached him he had been informed through The Associated Press of the convention’s favorable action. Already telegrams have been sent to the mtmbeis oi the commission notify ing them of the first meeting to be held in this city. Friday morning, and sum moning them to be present. After the 1 commission has effected its organiza tion. the members will call in a body on the President to pay their respects. At that time it is expected he will em brace the opportunity to give the com mission such verbal instructions as he may care to present to it. Besides he may prepare a formal letter of instruc tions. That is the method pursued at the time of the appointment of the Pullman strike commission. It is understood that few meetings of the commission will be held in Washington. After the work of the commission has been mapped out, the first step will be to take the testimony of the miners, who may he regarded as plaintiffs in the case. The parties to Lho inquiry will be permitted to be present at the hearings either person ally or by counsel. I* is probable that the first sessions of the commission at which testimony will be taken will be held in Wilkes barre. Other meetings will lie held in Philadelphia or New York or in both cities. Whether the sessions of the commis sion will be own to the public, is a question the lommission itself will have to determine, but it is regarded as quite likely that all sessions when testimony is taken repi esentatives of the press will be admitted. How long the hearings will continue nobody can'foreteli. At their .conclu sion each member of the commission will be supplied a copy of the testi mony adduced anil will consider it at his leisure. Subsequently, the commis sion will reconvene, perhaps in this city, to formulate its report for pres entation to the President. The game between I-asker and J. W. Shnwalter of Kentueky. the third of the series of seven mateli games between luisker and experts of the Manhattan Chess Club at New York, was adjourned early Tuesday, after ill moves.

The Whites Fight Bravely but Their Blacks Are Funking, Troops Being Rushed Along in Hopes of Saving Them. l.omlon, Oct. 21.—A letter from an officer belonging- to the Somaliland ex pedition received here show* that the British force is even in a more preca rious position than has been indicated in official dispatches. The writer says: "No one will appreciate this business until it is too late. We are in a regu lar trap and how we are going to get out we do not know. We have had stifflsh fights and have lost many men. The worst is that our blacks are funk ing and our camels have nearly all been killed or captured. We have next to no water and we are- miles from any wells. We have no supplies and nearly no ammunition. They have captured two of our Maxims. I do not suppose they care at home what hap pens to us. It is a brutal shame to send us blind into an ambush like this. I hear fresh troops are coming up and only hope they will come from India.” The writer refers Incidentally to some brisk tight which he apparently pre sumes was already known of here and adds: Thirty-three of us escaped. By Jove, that was a pretty affair. We whites stood out, but—Oh, we hnVe too many blacks." Tracps for Somaliland. Ftmla.

United Irish League Com* i mences Work in Boston. Unbounded Enthusiasm af Convention in Faneuil Hall. John Dillon and Michael Davitt the Principal Speakers. Boston. Oct. 21.—Seldom in the his tory of the so-called Irish movement” has such a notable gathering of leaders of national and even of international reputation taken place as that which, Monday, made remarkable the open- j ing of the fitst convention of the 1'nit ed Irish League at Funeuil hall in this city. John K. Redmond, M. P.. Michael Davitt and John Ilillon, .VI. P.. envoys from Ireland. Hon. Edward Blake, Irish, M. P-, Hon. Ilourke t'oekran of New Yoik. 1'nited States Senator Smith of New Jersey, Patrick Egan, Patrick Ford of the Irish World, T. B. Fitzpatrick and T. J. Gargan of Bos ton, were among the delegates who filled the body of the hall. The gallery was well tilled with interested speeta toi s. 'I he convention was opened at 11.4 by National President John F. Fin ni rty. This was the tirst national con- j vontion of the league, held, he said, in j response to a resolution adopted by supporters of Ireland's cause in this; country. Jhesident I'im.c-rty read an address! in which he gave the history of the clashes between the English govern •rr.ent and the Irish people, the forma- lion of the Irish Parliament and its abolition by the English, and described the present condition of Ireland. Following Mr. Finnerty’s address. James H. Doyle, acting mayor of Bos ton. welcomed the convention to the city. In his address, Mr. Doyle said that if the Puritans could have fore seen the North Atlantic states of tn ci. y in prophetic vision they might have christened the land New Ireland instead of New England and that the Emerald Isle had better right to the title "mother country” than any other land. Delegate Ryan of Pennsylvania, raira d Hon. Ilourke t'oekran as tem po: ary chairman. His introduction to tb dolt gates was followed by great applause. Addressing the convention Mr. t'oekran said that an appeal to anas l,y the lush people would be f,illy other than i airiotism. hut tha‘ there was a force more powerful, the nn ienee of the people. hen pub lic opinion was aroused, said the speaker, there came the- settlement in the coal sti ike. For it was realized iii.U civilized people antmai** none but savagos settle difficulties with lubs. When the truth of the Irish i, m st toil shall hot onto apparent to the world, thr-n will it bp possible for an adjustment of the difficulty One re sult t Wet and Gen. Botha. Gen. Botha said that if after Paardeburg WM Irishmen had come fr m America to help the Boers the power of England would have been smashed in South Africa. The platform and resolutions were then presented. They pledged the convention to undjing allegiance in the cause of Ire land's independence, assert the right of the Irish race to carry on the war against" England by means of honorable weapons, the belief that the leaders in Ireland are best fitted to direct and carry on this contest, demand the arraignment of Eng land at the bar of public opinion, through the dissemination of the facts of her rule: that the Entted Irish League is the only menace to England's rule in Ireland, and finally urging upon the mem bers in this country to contribute liber ally to the cause. BY USUAL VOTE. British Commons Steps on the Irish Members' Motions. O’Brien Tries in Vain to Bring Up Sullivan Matter. Law Purchase Bill Withdrawn After Exciting Session. London, Oct. 21.—deraid Balfour, nounced in the House of Commons, Monday, that an evening would be given for the discussion of the govern ment's shipping agreement. .-ne ar rangement with the International Mer cantile Marine Co., he added, did not involve any additional burden on the exchequer. Mr. Hanbury, president of the Board of Agriculture, made a statement to the effect that the negotiations on the subject of Argentine cattle were not concluded, but the importation of live cattle from that republic would be per mitted so soon as the regulations of Argentina afforded security against the landing of diseased animals. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, re plying to a question, said the govern ment had not yet iixed the sum to be (ontrihuted by the Transvaal and Orange Liver oniony toward the ex penses of the South African war. The Irish Nationalists were much in evidence in question time. They bom barded the Irish secretary, Mr. Wynd ham. with all kinds of queries, inter ruptions and contradictions of his statements, anent the imprisonment of Irish members. Mr. AVyndham replies, though given in a conciliatory tone, evoked storms of derisive cries mingled with hisses and the Ppeakei was kept busy suppressing demonstrations which threatened to develop into disorder. William O'Brien moved the adjourn ment of tiie House in order to discuss questions arising from the case of Former Police Sergeant Sullivan, now in America, who is alleged to have obtained the conviction of innocent persons through perjury. During the proceedings the Liberal leader. Sir Henry Campbell Banner man. cordially joined the Irish in sup porting their demand that the govern ment lix a day to discuss the state of Ireland, hut he declined to make the Liberal opposition responsible for the demand, which he was made by the constitutional representative of Ire land and in regard to a purely Irish ciuestion. Premier Balfour retorted that Sir Henry's, doctrine seemed wholly sep aratist. He would not admit that the government of Ireland was a purely Irish ciuestion and until the ambiguous attitude of the Liberal leader was cleared up he declined to say if the government would grant a day for the discussion of the state of Ireland.

Also a Few Facts on the Same Subject. Wt hoar, much nowadays about health foods and 'hygienic living, about vegetarianism and many other £ajs along the same line. Restaurants., may be found in the largt cities where no meat, pastry r coffer is served and the food crank is in his glory, and arguments and theo ries galore, advanced to prove that meat was never intended for human stomachs, and almost make us believe that our sturdy ancestors who lived four score years i11 robust health on roast beef, pork anil mutton must have been grossly ignorant of the laws of health. Our forefathers had other things to do than formulate theories about the food they ate. A warm welcome was extended to any kind from bacon to acorns. A healthy appetite and common sense at- excellent guides to follow; in matters of diet, and a mixed diet of giains. fruits and meats is undoubtedly the best. As eomparefl Willi grains ;jim vege tables. meat turnishes tlu* ttyet mitri iW-nt in a highly concentrated form and is digested and assimilated more quickly than vegetables and grains.

Though the Democrats have dis creetly dropped their ranting about the “army cruelties’” in the Philip pines, a recent development is at least Illuminating on the sources of the am munition which they used in their as saults on the flag and the boys in khaki under It. One of the most lurid of the titles circulated by the antis" in their attempts to discredit the army was a lettqr written by Wil liam J. Dongeuberger, a private of the 15th Infantry to his mother in Penn sylvania. lie detailed the hqrrors of battle, the slaughter of innocent Fili pino women and children, the torture of prisoners by our soldiers, and he was made to say that :«a he wrote stacks of unburied bodies of Filipinos lay about him, and that when an in surgonl dropped "our hoys all shot him seven or eight times, so that he was covered with blood from head to foot." The anti-administration press printed and re-printed this letter with great! gusto, with horrified editorial com ments thereon as to the ‘'cruelty” and /"barbarity" of the American soldiers. Kow conies l he sequel. The shud ders which this epistle caused resulted in a little investigation by General X.'haffee. It was quickly shown that the letter was a humbug, the fairy story of a foolish boy who wanted to make a sensation at home. He ad mitted :ls much, with no little con fusion. when questioned by the of ti)ers. The commander of his com pany states that Longenberger'n 'record shows that he has never beer In action, nor near the scene of one. In fact, he has never seen a Filipino die, not even from sickness. The whole affair is the work of his imagi nation. and there is not a word of iruth in it." This proof of the drawing of the long bow ought to lie a discomfiture 10 th.- "antis," but no doubt they will idle at the next story of a similar na lure as quickly tvs they did tit this. 1* is a sample roorback, but the exposure of th,* falsity of their charges gives I Item no shame.

There- is somethin? intensely fasci nating in Jigging deep into the musty past and forcing from the unwilling earth the secrets it holds of generations that passe! away centuries and cen turies before our tim And as we Jelve the conclusion is almost forced 111*00 u-i that away buck beyond the dark ages, beyond ev?n what we term primeval times, there was a period when a degree of civilization existed upon the earth which these later cen turies have not excelled. The learned men of the United States have been distancing those of Europe in the work of probing into antiquity, and Prof. Hilpreeht of the University of Pennsylvania, who has headed several expeditions to the val ley of the Euphrates, has just added a most important chapter to the story. The extraordinary discoveries made in Egypt by the American explorer, Sehlieman. are antedated many cen turies. and the civilization disclosed there was vastly inferior to what is now known to have existed along the Euphrates at the earliest period claimed for Egypt. Prof. Hilprecht's latest expedition to the site of ancient Nippur has brought to light hundreds of priceless tablets in a library of the earliest of the buried cities which en able him to write a well connected his tory of the inhabitants. He found one city built upon the re mains of another until the successive layers of cities became almost bewild ering. Put deep down, many feet un der the surface of the earth, he came to the remains of a people who at the time their city was abandoned were more civilized and enlightened indeed than any Eastern country, or even Russia, is today. This was away back in 4700 P. or 700 years before the date fixed by Iiishop Usher for the creation of Adam and Eve. These people not only had admirable political institutions, with imposing government buildings and great libraries, but they had all the modren customs in trade, banking, bills of exchange, mortgages, releases. ind of course taxes. They haii almost as broad a knowledge of mathematics and astronomy as are possessed now. ind very much, more than hail the Babylonians, who, at a lone- distance, -uc.ce' ded them. The difference between Professor Hil arecht's discoveries and those made ;n Egypt wiil appear in the deduction to l>e drawn. While in Egypt some trinkets and mummies were found ic lating to a very remote period, ivilizn lion receded the further back the dis r overies went tmtil the condition of the people was probably primitive, where as at Nippur the further down the ex plorer went the higher was the degree nf civilization until it reached a point lo which there has never since been, any approach in Asia and a not incon siderable part of Europe. To have reached such development many cen turies were necessary, which carries the people back far beyond 4700 It. C. It is bewildering to dwell upon the meaning of such discoveries. It upsets w many theories of history, sociology and theology that the student is al most dazed at the extent of the new Held opened tor study. The startling headlines “Eleven killed!” which appeared in the papers, yesterday, were not followed by an ac count of a football same, as many were led to suppose. It was nothing worse than a little race riot down in Alabama where it is now open time on all ties roes. If the Sultan of Turkey keeps very dose to the lines of truth in his pro posed autobiography, there will be a nice job of expurgation for somebody before the volume will be allowed in the mails.

The story of those two mysterious murders in the northern woods is grim and unpleasant reading. Our mid-October thunder shower succeeded in doing much damage over the State.

The undertaker's daughter at Free port who stopped an exciting runaway which promised serious results showed herself a heroine, but she plainly hasn't the welfare of her fath er's business at heart.

Such actions are a sight— anthracite, in fact. A Franklin county exchange says the first of a scries of Sunday evening talks will he given by the pastor of a Farmington church tomorrow.

The self-degraded man--Soloinon. The clear-minded man—Caleb The soundly-saved man—David. It is now up to the parson at the church across the way to talk on the "Women We Meet." For Instance: The well-preserved woman—-Lot’s wife. The first lady hair-dresser—Delilah. The club-woman—Jael. The model house-wife—Mrs. Noah. Her own dressmaker—Eve. Those who think that venison is al ways a dry, tough and tasteless meat, because it is often that kind when served on the city table should try the recipe given by Game Warden Walter I. Neal. He says: "The man who is going into the woods to shoot a deer and to cook and eat venison of his own killing should leave all his broiling and grilling utensils behind. There is only one way to cook venison in the woods or anywhere else. Heat a thick frying pan or an old style spider upon the coals until it is almost red. Cut off thick slices of the meat and throw them in the pan and keen them right up against the dry, hot surface until they are scorched on both sides. Then turn them out on a platter, cut the meat full of deep gashes, clear down through the crust and into or beyond the centre and fill the openings with Dutier. T>ilinfc It on until the platter jwims in gravy. After this add tapper *nd salt to suit the taste and eat it before it is cold. Cooked and served in this manner venison Is the best meat that grows, and the .-nan who does not like It. eltner has trouble with his riornach or his conscience tnd should be watched." It must be a great satisfaction to Captain Jason Collins of Gardiner, who has announced his permanent re tirement front steamboat life, that after sixty odd years battling with the turbulent sea, over forty years **f which hr- has been in command of steamers and during the time with millions of lives and many dollars worth of property in itis custody, not a life has been sacrificed or v-roj city to any amount lost through him. it '*s certainly a great record, one that hut few men in this world in like avoca tions can boast, a monument to his clear-minded, good judgment and abil ity. carefulness and fidelity, as endur ing as time. Everybody loves the old captain and wishes him ill happiness in his sunset years. For several years ago the people liv ing near the heavily wooded section of country at East Benton have told of seeing a loupcervier In the vicinity. There have been some doubts of this story, but that it was true is shown by the actual bagging of the animal by Leon Buzzell, a 15-year-old hunter, last week. The cat was a vicious look ing animal and its weight, -l pounds, would have made it a tough customer to meet in the dark woods. Young Buxzell shot it in a tree. And now an Augusta man has found a panther in the woods lying a little to the east of this city. This animal was supposed to he ex terminated in this section of Maine years ago. The chances are that the re-appearance of such creatures as the loupcervier and the panther in this part of the State is due to the presence here of deer in large numbers. Arthur Burnham, the Gardiner in ventor. has doubtless struck it rich this time in his latest improved rural mail box, which has been accepted and pronounced by the i'nited States post office officials to be the most con venient and serviceable of any yet pro duced. Mr. Burnham has been luvcnt inR all of his life_. and his active brain has Riven to the world many very useful artleles which have come into essential, everyday use, hut as in the case of the majority of inventors, some one else has reaped with the Rreater part of them more financial benefit from them than he has. It looks, however, that this time he was in it. A stroner stock company of New York capitalists and others has been formed, and the demand for these box es promises to exceed 'he capacity for supply for some time to come. LIGHT AND AIRY.

Kven a man who doesn't want to get married, stands a little longer in front of a mirror when dressing to meet an heiress. About the only time some men regard their wives of any use in the world is when they can put property in their names. An Atchison man is so worthless that he will not drink coffee for breakfast because it keeps him awake during the day and he wants to take naps. After you have waited hours at the depot, you are in training to partially sympathize with a young physician who has waited years for business.

They it archill tiS the .test end of the nwn'um’ stood beneath an ar1 continual handling, they, in time, become stained, worn amt very much j damaged. Moreover, the library is constantly j adding to this large store of inanu sciipts and papers, and a considerable number of those received are in any thing but good repair. Some are mil dewed from laying in damp or wet places, others are worn full of holes while at least one-half of the very old ones an- oauiy turn ami rumen along the margins. In some cases the manu scripts have lain, .perhaps a century, folded in one way. until the edge of the fold has worn down, leaving a series of small holes running at right angles to one another across the paper. To remedy these defects, the persons j employed in the department of manu scripts have invented and discovered various arts by which these tattered papers may be made whole. This work is done by people who have, so to ste ak grown up with the library of congress, and who, in the majority of eases, have been (lie inventors of the arts by which they are able to take tattered and mil dewed MSS and restore them to a con dition bordering almost on their piist ine state. Taking the reporter into the work room of the division aforesaid, Mr. Fitz patrick gave him an introduction to the i work in all its stages. The worn and tattered MSS. over 100 years of age. j when it. reaches the division, is llrst of all treated to a bath of warm water, for tlie purpose of removing the dirt. One accustomed to ino*krn inks, and especially to typewritten MSS, would imagine that such treatment would min the caper, and that the water would soften the coloring material, causing it to run together, forming a j blur over the entire page, hut the ink manufactured in those days was com posed of nutgalls and other vegetable substances so that, like vegetable dyes, it is "fast," and cannot be removed nor affected by water once it is applied to! either paper or i loth. After the bath in waim water com* s the drying process, and in tills connec tion it is worth stating that sente of the processes by which a torn or wm n l _1 utwriitd. manual i ii-t known only to the employes of this df-| vision. At oil events the MS is tlrit il' in such n manner that tt is as pltani after the bath as before. The next step in the work is the patching- \V itli; a sharp-edged instrument the work man having the job in hand proceeds to bevel down the edges along and around the border of the hole in tin manner of a cabinet-maker trimming :i section of veneering for the cornei f it piece of furniture. Then conies the patch. This lie cuts front a sheet of paper of the same. 01 as near the same kind and quality as the MS itself, and when he has trimmed it down to about the same dimensions as the hole he bevels th* border down until the edge Is as thin and light as the finest cobweb. When this is finished he is ready to lay on the patch. Care must be taken not to destroy so much as the tenth part of an inch of the original writing, and il it happens that the paper is written on one side only, then the patching is done from the side that is blank. Even then the utmost care must be exercised to nrevcnt cutting away any of the writing on the opposite side. The Wind Mills.

The manuscript then passes on to another employe, who pastes upon the back a hinge of fine linen tim ing eloth. and upon the front or outer bor der of the leaf a rim of the same ma terial. The hinge is generally about three-nuarters of an ir.eli in width, while the border is about one-half of an inch wide. The entire manuscript is then inclosed between two sheets of trai ing cloth, pasted upon the front and back, thus completing the process of rehabilitation. In its finished state the paner is clear, pliant and service able In every respect and ready for the peculiar tiles. i ne process mst menuoncu is em ployed. however, only In the case of manuscripts of ordinary or secondor? value. l:i the case of papers of consid er:! hie value (In- treatment is some what different. After the hath in water drying, patching, etc., the letter. deed, or whatever else it may lie is en- closed between two sheets of what is known as “crepeline,” pasted on front j and back with tin' same variety of paste that serves for all the manu scripts repaired in this department. This 'crepeline’' is manufactured in France, and the library of Congress is the onlv institution of its sort in America that uses this material. The Vatican library at Rome was about the first institution of its kind to employ "eereplinc” for the purpose of repairing damaged manuscripts, and it was from there that the process was. introduced into the other great li- J braries of the continent and Ores it I Britain. The material in question is i made entirely of silk, and is. in fact, j th*» finest grade of what is know n s j nun's veiling. Held up to the light it 'ppears as thin as gauze or the finest j spider's web, and on> that it i-“ placed over a renovated manuscript it requires eyesight of unusual keenness to detect its presence. Tl: manuscripts thus treated and in their finished state arc sent to another worker whose business it is to mount them by the liingc of tracing paper on a verv large sheet of ledger paper, and from there they arc removed and placed in large book covers, the ar rangement of which is altogether pe culiar. having originated among the I workers in this section of the congres sional library. To try to attempt to hind these manuscripts would be out of the question tor the reason that every now an 1 then it becomes neces sary to remove tme of them for some purpose or other, and, as such papers end letters are constantly accumulat ing, it is necessary to, every now' an* then, insert fresh ones in the binding containing 1 he boards or covt rs made for their reception. Another highly interesting phase of the work is the treatment of manu scripts that have suffered mildew. The color left on natter by mildew cannot l>e removed, this being about the only difficulty in the work of repairing manuscripts that the division workers have been unable to overcome. The sodden, murkey color left by mildew is as fast, in fact, more so, than that of the strongest and most durable vegeta ble ink or dye. and can no more be ef faced than rust or the effect of rust can be taken from iron. Such being the case the workers of the division have made the best of matters, and have done the next best thing ill seleetirg the paper for the repair of a mildewed manuscript as near the color of tie- original as possi ble. and right well have they succeed ed. A mildewed manuscript, full of holes, is repaired \Vith patches that arc cut from paper of nearly the same color, and thus, when finished, the manuscript is harmonious even in its defects, presenting nothing out of i place or disagreeable to thi eye, as j would be the case were the dark brown mildewed manuscript repaired w ith paper of a perfectly white color.

For several years mention has been made, in a complimentary wav, of the three prosperous lodges on the island of Mount Desert, and 1 can not refrain from a frying the compari son farther. In 1900 these three isl an i lodges admitted sixty-eight: in 1901, sixty-six: and in l!*02‘. sixty-seven ruem beis. Other lodges deserving honorable mention Androscoggin Lodge, No. ad Abou Hen Adhem Lodge, No, both of Auburn, with twenty-nine and thirty respectively Penobscot Lodge, No. 7. of iJiingor, admitted twenty-nine, and Fort Knox Lodge, No. i29 of Kucksport. tv.enty-one. Why is it that some lodges will be overwhelmed with work, while others in close proximity ilo nothing? It is because oie- has a live, while the other has a dormant, membership. I believe it pns f ible for every lodg to make substan tia! gains if the me miters so elect. In he great competition among the in numerable fraternal societies we must -o!i, it if \\v hope to gain members. Lierr.nl vigilance is lie- priceof increased membership. There is no impro priety in a brother asking a person to atiiliate with us. but on the contrary I iK-liev it to lie his duty to do so. il we believe ours a good society, why not ask others ;to join it?

Hon. Loon F. Higgins. who was i dee ted Grand Master of the Grand Lodge l. o. F. of M iine, is a resi dent of Brewer, Maine, and a member if Wilde v Lodge No. 103 of that city. Mr. Higgins was born in Kllsworth. 'Pril 2Suh. 1570, and is one of the 011 ng st ira n ever elected to the 00si °n of Grand Master. When he was cry ymns his parents moved to ••rewer wh re he has since resided Alth the exception of two years in a.agon He was educated in the schools of Bangor and Brewer. At an early age he was called unou to sup port a family of five, and instead of shirking the duty- manfully took up the ask and although very young managed n such t wav as to keep the family to gether until younger brothers were to assist in their support. After leav1 tig school Mr. Higgins -eeinvd control of the news ageneies an M. r. K. It. east of Bangor and continued the business for several ears. When Chisholm Brothers of Portland assumed control of all the I s agency business of the M. R H. he left that business to accent position with F. \V. Ayer Company in their South Brewer office, remaining titere for two years. For the past fourteen year lie has been engaged it general insurance business, which business carries him continuously r the State, and he is eonsitlered ne of the ablest underwriters in the fate, anti as one of his competitors said. "There is not n mail in the busi est' v. ho is bettri or more favorably nown than Leon F. Higgins." Mr. Higgins received the largest vote ever given a. candidate for Grand Warden—where there was more than in aspirant— which is the first step to the position of Grand Master, and sire a. candidate secures an election to is position he is sure of advancing the high position of Grand Master, f- gift of the Grand lsidge, without thrr effort.

PERSEVERING HUNTERS. A True Tale of Two Augusta Duck Hunters. An Experience Which Much Enter tains Their Friends. Here is a story, of two Augusta hunt ers which goes to show the truth of the saying that perseverance conquers all things. There is no particular rea son why their identity should be di vulged, therefore suffice it to say that one of them practices law in its va rious brunches, and is also considered one of the best heavy weight tennis players on the Kennebec river, while the other lompounds the many pharmaceutical prescriptions that are used to alleviate the ills of suffering humanity. Both are possessed of the quickness of eye and steadiness of nerve which are essential qualities in the makeup of the successful hunter, and when they sally forth into the wild woods or upon the lakes and streams, their friends are wont to allow their im agination to wander at will, and to dream dreams of the hunters' return, ■with well filled game bags, and to anticipate the after supper story by the open fire of how the game was bagged. Not long ago, the two went out after ducks. Now. if there is anything in the line of snooting which the legal hunter enjoys more than everything else, it is duck hunting, and when in pursuit of these webfooted delicacies he follows the trail with such pertinacity, and be comes so completely absorbed in the subiect under consideration, that he has been know n to pour a murderous Are into a lot of wooden decoys before he realized that he was not up against the real thing. The d.iy In question must have been an ofT day for ducks, for though the hunters started early, and hunted in all the places where ducks were known 1o feed, and though they resorted to all the artifices known to hunters to draw the birds to them. It was of no avail, and not a feather was knocked from a duck’s back during the day. And so, just as the sun was kissing the western hill tops, the two hunters started for home. Oh, yes, they wer? disappointed, the lawyer especially so. and he turned to his friend and said something like this: "lice! but I don t want to go home without a duck! The drug clerk didn't, either. but could offer no suggestion which could help them any. Just then something happened. They were driving by a farmhouse, and there In the yard was a (lock of ducks, just coming up to be fed for the night. I he sight of those ducks. Just at that par ticular time, was better than a well filled coal bln. and as the lawyer pulled up the horse, he said to his friend: “Say, go in and buy one of those ducks—and pick out the "wild est” looking one you can ttnd. and, as the drug clerk started out on his mis sion. chuckled softly to himself as he thought of the joke he would puf up on the boys in town. Meanwhile, the drug clerk had ap proached the owner of the ducks, and in response to the cordial: “How air ye” of that Individual. answered: "Howdy: what'll you take for one of those ducks'” "Wall,” quoth the farmer, "about 75 cents. All light, replied the hunter, as he counted out the coin, and then he proceeded to rat.-h the bird. This was not ac complished. however, without some sprinting, but finally the duck was captured and taken out to the road. Then there was a consultation be tween the two as to how the bird should be disposed of. It would not look sportsmanlike to w ring the bird s neck, so finally the lawyer out a shell In his gun. and got the drug clerk to throw the duck into the air: and as the unfortunate bird spread her wings, the lawyer's linger pressed the trigger, and all was over, at least as tar as the duck was concerned. The hunters did not intend to ex hibit their game to any great extent, but soon after their arrival in the city, they met a police officer, and as he caught a glimpse of the bird. they showed it to hint. "What kind of a duck is that?” said he of the brass buttons. "Why," responded the law yer. while a gleam of superior knowledge sparkled in bis eyes, "that Is a Mallard, and they ain't shot •round here very often." "f.ee! but ain't he a big one?" remarked the officer, and as he continued on his homeward wav he marveled much on what he bad seen, but not a suspicion entered his head that the bird had been hatched under a hen, instead of first seeing the light of day from the marshes around the lakes.

Bet RHEUM A TISM CANNOT BE RUBBED OUT But a good liniment or plaster will often give temporary relief because it produces counter irritation or reduces the inflammation and sore* ness. But no sort of external treatment can have any effect whatever upon the disease itself, for Rhoumatlam la not a akin dlaoaao, but is due to an over acid condition of the blood, and the deposit of irritating matter or Uric Acid salts or sediment in the muscles and joints, and no amount of rubbing or blistering can dislodge these gritty particles or change the acid blood. Rheumatism often becomes chronic, and the mus cles and joints permanently stiff and useless and the nervous system almost wrecked, because so much time is lost in trying to cure a blood disease with outside applications or doctorinsr the skin. Kneumatism must be treated through the blood, and no remedy brings such prompt and lasting relief as S. S. a It attacks the disease in the blood, neutralizes the acids, and removes all irritating or poisonous substances from the system. S. S. S. strengthens and enriches the thin acid blood, and, as it circu lates through the body, the corroding, gnawing poisons and acid deposits are dislodged and washed out of the muscles and joints, and the sufferer is happily relieved from the discom forts and misery of Rheumatism. Louisville, Xy., March 87, *08. Gentlemen:—I am glad to aay that S. S.'S, haa cured me of Khenmatiam. About two years ago I suffered from Rheumatism in my knees and feet, my ankles swelling so that I could not put on my shoes. This continued for several months, during which time I was applying liniments and going by my physician’s directions, but derived no benefit. I was told of 8. S. S. and tried it. I immedi ately got relief, and continued the medicine until I was entirely well. 8108 Floyd St. X>. J. DUANE. External remedies are all right so far as they go, but they don’t go far enough, and you can't depend upon them to do the work of a blood purifier, and those who pin their faith to liniments and plasters as cures are bound to meet with disappointment, and will be nursing a case of Rheumatism the greater part of their lives. S. S. S. is a purely vegetable remedy, does not contain any Potash or mineral of any kind, and can be taken with safety by old and young. Rheumatic sufferers who write us about their case will receive valuable w an.„helPfnl from our physicians, for which no charge is made We will mail free our special book on Rheumatism, which is the result of yeara of practical experience in treating this disease.
