BARNET LETTERS Ruled I Out of ttolineux Trial by Judge umbert. Admission Would Be Against Ruling of Court of Appeals. Same Old Ground of! Former Trial Be ing Threshed Over. plative to the let trial was irrele New York. Oct. 23.—A strong point was scored by the defence in the trial of Roland B. Molineux, tcday, when Justice Lambert ruled out the Barnet letters. Justice Lambert decided that as evidence the letters must be exclud ed as improper, but that he was willing to admit them simply as a standard of comparison in handwriting. The coun sel for the defence were highly pleased with this decision, which is in line with that of the court of qppeals, which held that the testimony lers given at the fir! vant. Assistant District opened the proceedii1 the jury, with the consent of the de fence, the evidence given at the last trial by Policeman John H. Palmer, who is sick. 'Palmer told of visiting the Adams' apartment and carrying away the poison bottle and glasses. John S. Adams of the Knickerbocker A.

The letter was shown to Molineux and ho made it the grounds of a formal complaint against Cornish. Witness identified Molineux's letter of resigna tion from the club and another explain ing that he resigned because he felt that his opposition‘to a system that permitted an employe to insult a gen tleman would make* him a disturbing element in the clutats membership. The defence conceded that both were written by Molineux. Mr. Adams testified as a lay wit ness to Mollneux's handwriting on a number of conceded and disputed let ters. The cross-examination referred to the witnesses' identification of the handwriting. The letters, etc., were presented on standards of comprising.

Food that will safely and surely carry a man through exhausting men tal work is worth knowing of. A man in St. Louis, Mo., says:—“In my work, it is necessary to begin at seven o'clock and work straight through without lunch until two P. M. You can readily see that this is a stiain on the ordinary person, and I was frequently worn out and sick with hunger and weakness. On numerous occasions when two o'clock came round, I was so utterly exhausted and unstrung as to be forced to lose the remainder of the day. and that carried with it a less of money. “The first package of Grape-Nuts came into our house a'little over a year ago by accident. There has been one by design ever since that time. Almost immediately after beginning to use Grape-Nuts. I felt its good ef fect in m>‘ ability to work those long hours in comfort. There was no sick ness or weakness, and no loss of time front exhaustion. In my business, it is also necessary to work every Wednesday night of each week. The change from day to night work and then back again is certainly no light call on the reserve force of any one. and my invariable preparation for this task is a generous saucer or Grape Nuts and cream, a light lunch but a most sustaining one. All Uiu II ItHU cently. and while eating the evening meal, i was extolling Grape-Nuts to him. He rather doubted the delicious ness o' the food. My three children, aged four, six and eight years, were j at the time watching a large cream I cake on the table, send enjoying in an ticipation the treat. I asked the three which they would prefer for dessert— cream cake or Grape-Nuts. Without i hesitation, they answered in chorus. Grape-Nuts.' My friend was con vinced. "The only breakfast the children have is Grape-Nuts and rich milk, and you could not find a more healthy j trio." Name given by Postum Co.. I Battle Creek. Mich. RESUMING WORK. i About 67 Per Cent, of Mines in Operation. Some Will Reach Full Output Today Others in Bad Shape. Idea of Cost of Coal from Phila. A Reading Statement. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 23.—Reports from the entire anthracite region show that about 67 per cent, of the mines are In operation, today. The collieries in the Lackawanna region are in bet ter shape for working than those in any other part of the region. The collieries in the Wyoming region with a small output are in good shape, be ing free from gas and water, but the large mines are still hampered by water. The same condition of affairs exists in the Lehigh region. In the Schuylkill region the large mines are reported to be in better condition for working than was ex pected. All the mines in operation will be short in their normal output, today, but by tomorrow it is expected almost the full output will be reached. After such a long spell of idleness the miners and laborers are "soft" and not capable of doing as hard a day’s work as when they were “seasoned.” Representatives are coming in from all over the mining region that many engineers, firemen, pumpmen, carpen ters and company ,hands have failed to get their places back. The old em ployes are faring better with the Indi vidual companies than with the large companies. A delegation of carpenters made up of employe? from many collieries in th« Wyoming region culled at President Mitchell’s headquarters, at noon, and laid their grievances before him. They said miners and laborers had no trouble in getting work, but other em ployes holding good paying positions before they went out, generally found their places filled with other men and the superintendents said there would be no change for the present. Mr. Mitchell advised his callers to be pa tient and await developments. There was no friction between the union and non-union men when they reported for work, this morning. A number of old engineets, pumpmen and firemen again appITeTETfor their old po sitions. but were told that there were no vacancies at present. Old employes who have failed to get their places back -are reporting the fact to Presi dent Mitchell at strike headquarters. THE PRICE OF COAL. Some Idea of What's Coming by Phila Reading's Statement. Philadelphia, Oct. 23.—In view of the resumption of mining' of anthracite coal the Philadelphia Reading Rail road Co., tonight, issued the following statement: The Philadelphia tz Reading Coal Iron Co. President's Office, Phila delphia, Oct. 23. Mr. C. E. Henderson. General Man ager. Dear Sir:—The reports of the super intendents in charge of the mines show that as a result of the strike, the mines and mining plants have sus tained considerable injury and their respective working organizations have been impaired. For come time to come the collieries cannot be worked to pro duce their average quantity of coal. This will Increase the cost of pro duction. Estimates have been sub mitted showing the probable increase in cost per ton at the several groups of collletles. The general average ex ceeds SO cents per ton. You will therefore add to the cir cular price 50 cents per ton—this ad ditional price to continue until the first of January. 1903, by which time we hope to reach a normal conduction of mining and production. Notwithstanding the fact, during the strike, no coal was sold by our com pany at an advance over the circular price, the price has been unreasonably advanced to the public by some retail dealers. In the distribution of coal, von will, «o far as practicable supply the dealers willing to sell coal to the public at reasonable prices. Where dealers seek to obtain an unfair profit from the public, you will promptly take steps to supply the reasonable demands of the public directly. Yours truly, GEORGE F. BAER, President. In pursuance of instructions contain ed in the above letter, circulars have been issued, taking effect, Oct. 24. An effort will oe made to arrange the distribution of coal, so that parties in need may at least receive a small por tion of their wants, and. with this pur pose in view, dealers will be requested to restrict the amount which will, for ;he present, he sold to any consumer within these limits of his reasonable immediate requirements. The opinion is expressed by Mr. Henderson that the price for white ash, egg. sto\e and chestnut coal delivered to householders in the city of Phila delphia should not, in any case, exceed Maney oi me uc#in» pressed a willingness to comply with the wishes of the Reading Co. In this respect and Mr. Henderson has no doubt that practically all of them will heed the re quest and charge only reasonable price» to the public. One of the copies reads as follows: GENERAL.

BEATS A CIRCUS Irish Nationalists Keep House of Commons Awake. Recriminations Between Catholics and Belfast’s Protestant Member. Later Says Commons Has More Riot ing Than Belfast. London, Oct. LS.—Another scene was caused by the Irish Nationalists in the Commons, today, on lines like those which have almost daily marked the session. The Nationalists bombarded Chief Sec. for Ireland Wyndham. with all kinds of irrelevant questions and when the Speaker barr«*d the attack, moved an adjournment in order to dis cuss some trivialty which happened last session. When the Speaker ruled the motion out Brent disorder followed. National ists sprang to their feet and violently challenged the ruling. William Red mond was especially prominent, insist ing in arguing with the Speaker, to which he was egged on by frantic chpers and shouts from the Nationalist benches. Finally Mr. Devlin obtained leave to move the adjournment of the House to discuss certain rioting in Belfast on Oct. 19. Premier Balfour declined to change ills attitude regarding Patrick O'Brien's res-olution.of yesterday that a day be granted for a debate on the State of Ireland, the Liberal leader Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, declining to say he would accept the motion or would support it as a vote of censur against the government. The evening session of the House de veloped recriminations between the Irish Catholic members and Thomas Sloan, the new Piotestant member for South Belfast. There was much cheer ing and roiinter-cheering. In moving the adjournment of the House to discuss the Belfast rioting Mr. Devlir. while disclaiming any mo tives of religious bigotry, attacked the Irish executive for permitting disor derly Sunday meetings on the steps of the Belfast custom hous ro» to speak I 'It Pr-lUic.' lif ilVcir ineveii el.eur, inch vv I- .tv: led. by t«S T.• 11 Mr. Devlin's motion was defeated by •’ votes to 9S.

Mr. Osborne then read the testimony of Molineux before the coroner's Inquest, relating to the trouble between Molineux and Cornish. He also read Molineux s statement to the coroner's jury that he had never made cyanide of mercury.

Get. 23.—For the first iime in 10 years David Bennett Hill, former governor and former United ■Uatea senator from the state of New York, spoke, Wednesday, in Tammany Hall. The occasion was the ratiflca llon of the Democratic state ticket. Former President Grover Cl~veland sent a letter expressing his regret that a prior engagement prevented his at tending the meeting. The letter was as follows: Westland, Princeton, N. J-. Oct. 20. ISIS. •‘Charles F. Murphy, Esq., “My Dear Sir:—1 regret that my en gagements will not permit an acceptance of your invitation to attend the Demo cratic meeting to he held Tammany Hall on the 22d Inst. "It is most gratifying to learn from the terms of vour note that the Democracy ot the citv of New York fully appreciate how vitally the underlying principles of our party are involved in the (lending canvass: and also to know of the deter mination that they shall not he forgotten in its eampaign efforts. "The most Democratic organization of the city of New York is so important a factor in controlling the result of party endeavor in the broadest fields, that no eampaign in which it engages can be con sidered sufficiently local to free it from the responsibility of its influence upon party prospects everywhere and at all times. “This responsibility has been well met in the present campaign by the selection of trustworthy candidates, by intelligent party work and by the sensible efforts to secure harmonious Democratic action. “I sincerely hope that as a result the Democracy of the city of New York will again demonstrate its invincibility at home; that Democratic good government and economical administration will be re stored to the people of the state; and that Democratic ho|H‘ and confidence will be revived and stimulated far beyond the limits of the city: and state. "Hoping that your meeting will be abundantly successful and most useful in the cause. I am. "Yours very truly. "Grover Cleveland." Air. Mill sain Ill pan: ini jrars agu I had the honor of speaking in this an cient temple of Democracy in behalf of ihe policy of revenue reform. To day. the leading national issue in the ensiling election is that of a revision of the present exorbitant and unneces sary tariff, and it is therefore appro priate that my voice should again be heard in behalf of this rigiiteons cause within these old walls dedicated to the enunciation ot right principles of gov ernment. “Regardless of past differences, which never related to party policy, I extend the right hand of fellowship to every Democrat in this grand old organiza tion or in any other organization, and logether we’ll _hattle, shoulder to shoulder, in behalf of those Jeffer sonian principles which we all have inherited from the great founder of :he Democratic party. •‘Tariff revision must come in the very near future, and the sooner it comes the better for our country. No good reason can be urged why it should longer be delayed." Mr. Hill devoted a considerable pirt of his speech to state affairs, :n the course of which he said: "It now appears that the ‘raid" upon the charitable institutions of the tats made last winter by the Odell adminis tration was not only political but mer cenary in its character. “The favored recipient of official patronage was the corporation of J. W. Mathews Co. of Newburgh, the home of Gov. Odell. “His personal interest in that coi;*o ration has now been demonstrated :n disclosures published." GOVERNOR ODELL Brands David B. Hill As An Un principled Political Liar. Syracuse, N. Y.. Oct. 23.—An audi ence of fully 2500 almost entirely voters, welcomed Gov. Odell at the Al hambra. Wednesday evening, as he opened his state tour in this city. In the course of his speech he replied to the charge that he was interested in a firm profiting by state contract. In this connection he said: in part: "Out of this charity legislation has come an attack upon my personal character which if it were confined to an irresponsible newspaper, 1 would not lower the dignity of the high office 1 fill to give consideration or the weight of refutation. But when utter ed by u man whom the people of this state have honored and whose occu pancy of the office of governor of the state of New York should have inspir ed with a higher opinion of and more decent regard for men whom the peo ple of the state have selected as their executives. I fell that it is incumbent upon me to stigmatize these charges as base slanders, not only against me personally but against the office of governor of the state of New York. "This attack was not Entirely unex pected, because in a convention early in the spring Mr. Hill, who is now the central figure in the political arena so far as the Democratic party is con cerned. and whose leadership should be considered among decent people as rep rehensible and as dangerous to society, made the statement that he proposed to run this campaign u.ron old-fash ioned methods. When asked what he meant by that statement, he said he meant to engage in mudslinging. No regard for the feelings of those with whom he has broken bread could lead him to forget hi« partisanship for a single moment or deter hi™ front mak ing statements even though he knew them to be absolutely false." Referring to Mf. Hill, the governor said:* "This man has-never known the love if woman, has never heard the prattle »f innocent children in his home, and would tcicrincc his rc-si nii-ims u» nis tt mbit ions. This fight has got beyond the Dcm- acratlc and Republican parties. It is a fight between decent government and the peanut jxillttcs of David B. Hill.” RALLY AT "CINCINNATI.

He replied, there are two principal reasons. First, physicians and people In general, have thought that the only permanent cure for piles was a surgical operation, that medici nal preparations were simply pollutin'. Another reason hv that piles Is In no sense of the word an imaginary dis ease: the sufferer from piles is very much aware of the fact, and for this reason, the few so-called pile salves, ointments, etc., have been short lived. The patient very soon discovered their inefficiency. He says further, fortunately, how ever. there is a new remedy for idle*, which judging from its rapidly grow ing popularity, will soon take the place of all other treatment; it has certainly made astonishing cures in this obsti- j nate disease and its merit has mude it famous among physicians and wlwtr cver it has been Introduced. This remedy is sold by all druggists under, tlie name of Pyramid Pile Cure. From the immediate relief which the Pyramid Pile Cure gives in all forms of piles, many physicians supposed It contained opium, coeaine or some I similar substance, but upon analysis it was found to be perfectly free from anything of the kind, and that the in stant relief and cure w hich follows Its use Is rather the result of its remark able healing, soothing action on the! parts affected. The Pyramid Pile Cure is the only remedy, except a surgical operation, which immediately relieves and per manently cures every form of piles.

It Is a coincidence th.'it, this week George Hull has died in Binghampton N. Y„ that the American Society foi Antiquarian Research has met in New York, and that the October Century has an article on “The Cardiff Giant, the True Story of Remarkable De ception.” All these things bring prom inently before the public the half-for gotten story of one of the greatest fakes ever worked on credulous hu manity. It was George Hull who cut from soft stone in 1S6H th gigantic figure of a man which he buried at Cardiff, near Syracuse. N. Y.. and which when unearthed was the nine days' wonder of the whole scientific world. It was pronounced the petri fied body of a giant who had died ages ago. and even when the fraud was ex posed the learned gentlemen for a long time refused to believe that they had been imposed'upon. Hull, it is hardly n-cessary to state, was a Connecticut Yankee. He was born in 1821. and was in the West in the late '60s when the idea of the ‘‘Cardiff giant came to him. He was not so much inspired with the idea of a grim joke on the scientists as with the ex pectation of producing something which would make his fortune as a museum attraction. He found the kind of stone lie wanted near Fort Lodge. Iowa, and with the aid of an Italian, named Fabrice Sala, he fash ioned the rude figure of a man who had apparently died in agony, the lower limits being drawn up. The figur WilS 1- Itrci I'm*, aim i-m.ii weighed two tons. The under side of the figure was grooved and channelled, that it should appear to be wasted by age. It was then dotted or pitted over with minute pores by means of a lead en mallet faced with steel needles and was stained with some preparation which give it an appearance of great age. It was shipped to New York as "machinery," and buried on the farm of his brother-in-law who was his confederate. So secretly had it all been done that when it was "acci dentally" exhumed a little later the deception watt complete and the .coun try was fooled. Scientists flocked from far and near and they were the worst fooled of all. Hull exhibited it all over the country and made over *20.000 by the venture which he later lost in other speculations. Slut the old adage about the inabil ity of a man to "fool ali the people all the time" proved true and the ex posure came. The whole process of manufacture, transportation and burial was laid bare by the affidavits of good men and finallv by the admissions and boasts of Hull himself. And now Hull has gone the way of his giant, and tile scientists are in solemn session as of old. The Century article which tells the whole story of this famous de ception in a most interesting manner, H by Hon. Andrew n. White who from the first pronounced the "giant" a take. Mawkish Sympathy. How often when the law gets a criminal within its grasp do we hear an outburst of mawkish sympathy for Kim from those whose compassion out runs their judgment in I s«n« of ins tiee. The more notorious the criminal and the more heinous his crime the more complete his apotheosis and tilt more numerous the hysterical women who crave the privilege of weeping maudlin tears on his shoulder. The case of the notorious outlaw. Jim Younger, who committed suicide whit on parole in Minnesota, last Sunday, illustrates this point. He wanted a full pardon to enable him to marry and live in peace, and failing to get more than a pat ole he felt himself grossly abused by the law and by society. The woman whom he desired to marry is reported as paying that Younger was driven to his death by "his perse cutors" and that she will devote hei life "to placing him right before thoi them. Nobody but he and his God eve knew how many bloody crimes h helped to commit in Kansas. Missouri Minnesota and neighboring states. H and his fellow guerrillas were fiend Incarnate during the Civil War. and be ttv-en the close of the war and hi capture in Minnesota he committei these crimes, among others: !8fi6—Raid of Lexington t Mo.) bank *3000 taken.

Mo.: Muncie, Ind., and else where, robbed bank at Huntington, W. Va. 1876—Final raid on Northfield (Minn.) bank: Cashier Haywood killed. Youngers captured, sentenced to prison for life and taken to Stillwater. No vember 21. In these crimes alone he forfeited hi3 life a down times, yet he was given a sentence for life and while still in the prime of manhood—he had deliberately entered upon his career of crime at the ag-- of 18—ua3 allowed perfect free dom within the limits of Minnesota during good behavior.

The Trull hospital in Biddeford. whi' h recently reached its second anni versary. has made a remarkable rec ord. one which it Ijs doubtful if any other hospital in the country has equalled. This record was made in surgical cases. During the hospital's first two years there were 137 patients operated upon, and out of this large number there was but one death, and this one occurred during the last week of the second year. This made the per centage of deaths during the two years of 4-5 of 1 per cent. The most important piece of news which that section of the State has heard in a long time is the announce ment that the Maine f'entral will ex tend its line from Rockland to Belfast, by way of Rockport and Camden.

Read the public statement of an Augusta citizen: Mr. Frank Chase, police officer, of 1-43 Northern avenue, says:—“In the winter of 1897 I had an attack of what was pronounced lumbago. The pains in'tny back were incessant and the only relief I got was when I rested my back against a radiator. In a short time the kidney secretions began to show the kidney difficulties, their color was high, they contained a large quantity of brick dust, and were ex cessive in quantity. I was told to try Doan's Kidney Pills and procured a box at C. K. Partridge’s Old Reliable drug store opposite the postoffice. Its use benefited me greatly and I got a second box. By the time I had fin ished this the pains in my back were ended. I cannot say enough in praise of such a wonderful remedy as Doan's Kidney Pills have proven to be.’’ For sale by all dealers.

Biddeford fairly mobbed the "Uncle Tom's Cabin company, this week, but it was a mobbing which the company and opera house management enjoyed. Jus! 1580 people paid admission, the biggest crowd ever in the house, and tiie police had to be called to drive away the hundreds that hung around the doors after failing to get in. "Age cannot wither, nor custom stale, the infinite variety" and eternal drawing power of this old play which has been on the stage for half a century, and which has been witnessed by more peo ple than any other play ever written. When "Uncle Tom's Cabin” goes to Biddeford again it ought to carry a double company and play to the over flow m some other hall. A resident of Calais who had some two hundred dollars secreted in a trunk at her home, found.it missing- on going to the trunk one day recently, and not having any idea who the thief was, consulted a local clairvoyant who gave her a description of a woman, which exactly tallied with that of a neighbor. Acting upon the information received from this source, the woman who had lost the money intimated that Mrs. So and So had stolen her money, and im i mediately there was something doing in that neighborhood, with the result I that the strong arm of the law will no doubt be called upon tcv straighten out the difficulty. The affair has created somewhat of a sensation, especially as th accused person bears a good reputation and some interesting de velopments are looked for later on. The money :s still missing and consterna tion reigns supreme in the vicinity. An exchange says that some of Houlton's prominent women are cir I cuiating a petition to prevent the loafing on the street. Hut why any body should be loafing in Houlton, or any other part of Aroostook, with la borers as sctirce and wages as high as at present, passes all comprehension.

Also A Few Facts on the Same Subject. We hear much nowadays about health foods and hygienic living, about vegetarianism and many other fa Is along the same line. Restaurants may be found in the large cities where no meat, pastry or coffee is served and the food crank is in his glory, and arguments and theo ries galore advanced to prove th it meat was never intended for human stomachs, and almost make us believe that our sturdy ancestors who lived four score years in robust health on roast beef, pork and 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 are excellent guides to follow in matters of diet, and a mixed diet of guilts, fruits and meats is undoubtedly the best. ruinparea witn grams ana vege tables, meat furnishes the most nutri ment in a highly concentrated form and is digested and assimilated more quickly than vegetables and grains. Dr. Julius Reinmson on this subject says: Nervous persons, people rtn down in health and of low vitality should eat Ineat and plenty of it. If the digestion is too feeble at first it may be easily corrected by the regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. Two of these excellent tablets taken after dinner will digest several thousand grains of meat, eggs or other animal food in three hours and no matter how weak the stomach may be, no trouble will be experienced if a regular practice is made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets because they supply the pepsin and diastase necessary to perfect digestion, and every form of indigestion will be over come by their use. That large class of people who xait under the head of nervous dyspept'es should eat plenty of meat and insure its proper digestion, by the daily use of a safe, harmless digestive medicine like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets com posed of the natural digestive princi ples. pepsin, diastase, fruit acids, and salts, which actually perform the work of digestion. Cheap cathartic medi cines, masquerading under the name ot dyspepsia cures are useless for indi gestion as they have absolutely no ef fect upon the actual digestion of food. Dyspepsia in all its many forms is simply a failure of the stomach to di gest food and the sensible way to solve the riddle and cure the dyspep sia is to make daily use at meal time of a preparation like Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets, which is endorsed by the medical profession and known to con tain active digestive principles.

Preparing Representative*’ Halt for the Reception of Legislature.' In the group of paintings of former members of the Supreme Judicial court of Maine, now hanging in the State House rotunda, is a portrait of Associate Justice Joshua W. Hatha way, who served on the bench from 1852 to 1859. This painting is the gift of Mrs. M. J. Hathaway of Norridge wock, a daughter of the late Chief Justice John Searle Tenney, and who married a son of Justice Hathaway. Joshua Warren Hathaway was born in Conway, N. B„ Nov. 10, 1797, and died in Bangor. June 6, 1862. Although born in the province of New Bruns wick Justice Hathaway was descended ftom the best Puritan and Pilgrim stock. His parents, Ebenezer and Elizabeth (Tisdale) were natives of Freetown, Mass. While he was yet a child, they removed to Conway. Dur ing their last years these worthy and venerated persons lived in New Glou cester, in this State, where they died. In .due time, Joshua was sent to Frye burg to be fated for college. He en tered Dartmouth in 1816, before he had reached his 19th year, and graduated at Bowdoin in 1820. His three years of professional preparation were passed at Alfred in the law office of the late John Holmes, who was one of Maine's first United States Senators. Ill 1824 he began the practice of his profession at Bluehill and the follow ing spring removed to Ellsworth. He was a member of the Maine House of Representatives from the Bluehill class in the session of 1825 and he was senator from Hancock county in 1827 and 1828. He removed to Bangor in 1837 and from 1840 to 1844 he had as a partner Gen. George F. Shipley. From the latter time until his death he was associated with Hon. John A. Peters, ex-chief justice of the Supreme court, who now iesides in Bangor, respected and honored by many friends. He was appointed a justice of the District court of the United States in 1848. and four years later was given a position on the Supreme bench of Maine, a position he occupied for seven years with distinctive ability. When he died the Penobscot bar met and passed resolutions to his memory, which may be found in the 48th Maine Reports. The wood work in Representatives hall is being painted a pure white.

FIRE AT BUFFALO. Union Steamboat Co’s. Freight De stroyed—Loss, About $75,000. Buffalo, N. Y„ Oct. 23.—Fire Wednesday night, destroyed the freight shed of the Union Steamboat Co. on the marine slip, near the foot of Michigan street. One of the big Le high Valley propellers which was un loading grain at the marine elevator, directly opposite the sheds, was pulled away from the dock with her upper works ablaze and it was with great difficulty that other vessels succeeded in escaping the flames which swept across the slip and to the opposite side of Buffalo river. A downpour of rain which began soon after the tire started probably saved a disastrous conflagration along the water front. The freight sheds were about 400 feet long and extended from Buffalo creek to the end of the marine slip. Fortunately the propeller Tioga which sailed, Wednesday, al most emptied the sheds of freight. The total loss is estimated at $75,000. THE TEXTILE WORKERS Consider Silk Workers’ Request—The President’s Recommedations. Washington.Oct.23.—The United Textile Workers of America at Wednesday's ses sions discussed the recommendation made by the officers of the organization. There was a long discussion over the proposi tion of the silk workers to apply to the American Federation of I.abor for a sep arate charter and the convention decided against the application. The position tak en by the delegates was that the united order has complete jurisdiction over workers in all textile industries, silk as well as every other. The references in the president's report to the strikes that have oecurred dur ing the year were adopted, hut the com mittee on rules and bylaws was left to pass upon three of the president's recom mendations, viz.: A number of changes in the constitution: an increase in thi per capita tax; and the selection of a president of the organization who can de vote h's entire time to the business of the order. Some of the parties interested in the Pius fund are not satisfied with the amount of the award in their favor and have appealed to the state department to endeavor to induce The Hague tribunal to reopen the case and amend the de cision so as to make the judgment pay able in gold instead of in Mexican cur rency. Secretary Hay linds that the treaty expressly stipulated that the tn hunal should tlx not only the amount but the kind of currency in which the award should be paid and he has informed the claimants that he cannot grant their re quest.

Me., Oct. 23.—(Special).—Sev eral of the guests of yesterday were about* the campus, today, and among oth ers Rev. Standly Durkee of Boston, an alumnus of the college, who conducted chapel services, this morning. When in college. Rev. Mr. Durkee distinguished himsell as a debater. In the introduc tion. this morning. Pres. Chase spoke of the intercollegiate debates of lK9fj-97 ir. which Durkee. Cutts and Milliken took l such a prominent part, and also stated l that the success of that debate was due in .t great part to Mr. Durkoe’s ability. Those wore the intercollegiate debate in which Bates had engaged and the final debate between Bates and Boston I'ni versit.v, which took place in no less an historical place than Old Fanejil hall. Boston, resulted in a great victory for Bates. Aftei graduating from Bates m 1>H7. Durkee took the pulpit of the Court Street Free Baptist church. Auburn, and held that position until about a year ago. when lie was called to his present post tion as pastor of the First Baptist church. Roxbury. Very few- of Bates* young alumni have won the noticeable success that Mr. Durkee has. and fewer still are granted so many physical, men tal anti spiritual qualities that win sue a practice same witn Lewiston High. The game began in a lively manner but Hates uni not seem to wake up until tile itign school fellows h:ul made the lirst goal. Then the college bays got into the game and held Lewiston down to six paints, but only won l>i. Although LewisPm High has a very strong le t in. 11 ougiu not to be allowed to score on a college Varsity, fatten is still out of the prac tice but probably be will play. Saturday, against Coburn Classical. The formal resignation of Capt. Allen has been received at college.

V. lio was elected captain pro tern, will be elected regular captain ill tile A. A. meeting. Friday. The inter-class meet will take place. Friday afternoon. The cold, heavy wind has been a serious hindrance lor the track work, this week, since It made the runs almost impossible. The entries, however, promise to be even belter than expected and bv them one sees that the junior- are bringing forward their best men tit t'n last moment. Bradford, liriggs. Cole. Crocker. David. Lane. Lace and Bobbins have entered, but only Bob bins. Lam- ami Briggs have practiced, so that tin result is doubtful. However, these men it trained would easily carry otr the t un. This class has surprised the others for three years by coming in ai the last moment to snatch victory as it were from the very hands of those who had trained and expected to win. The sophomores, on the other bant., will lack two or three of their best men since Fenton Parsons, Lewis. North, it lhirtts and Stockwell of that class. have gone to Turner to work for two week, gathering apples. The entries have not vet closed and the manager is hustling around, todav, trying to get out men who have not praVtictd hut who have showed up well before in similar contests. FOR OBSERVATION.

Joseph Spencer of Benton, one of the best-known dam builders In the State, has returned to Greenville, on his way home from a three months’ stay on Misery stream, where he has been In charge of the work for building a dam for the Hollingsworth A Whitney Co. of Winslow. Mr. Spencer has had a crew of 30 men and two teams en gaged In the work. The dimensions of the dam. as given by Mr. Spencer, follow: Length. 207 feet: height, 23 feet; base, 40 feet. The dam has a 9-foot dead head, giving a 14-feet rise of water and flowing back a mile and creating a pond a. half mile wide. It has a sluice gate 14 feet wide and two side gates 6 feet wide. Mis ery stream' flows into Brassua pond near Asquith. In addition to the dam, Mr. Spencer had a ‘’binder" 200 feet long and from 8 to 9 feet high, constructed to turn the current of the stream to one side below the present dam. The Hol lingsworth A Whitney Co. has had serious difficulty to drive its logs at the point where the dam has been con structed and it Is expected that the volume of water that will be held back will be sufficient to overcome the trouble in the future. The dam. Mr. Spencer states, is one of the best ever built by a company in the State for like purpose. Mr. Spen cer may do some work on a dam at Holeb Falls, thisReason, if the weather remains favorable. Merrick -Mitchell. On Wednesday evening, Oct. 22, at 7.30 o'clock at the residence of Ira A.
