A line Inc kboard road is being constructed for ihe easy convey ance of patients from Greenville Junc tion to the sanatorium. The larg building will be a thoioughly equippet hospital with special facilities for tin treatment of patients to be benefittoo by the air of ihe woods. Arrangements have been made for open air treatment, sun baths and all treatments of that nature. Beside the large building a good sized log cabin of tasty design has 1 ready been con structed and more of a similar kind will doubtless be built. There is a fine spring conveniently located which will supply the water for all purposes. The buildings are located on the top of a small I.ill that slopes gradually to the shore d Moosehead and a wharf has been constructed there. A small steamer has been secured to add to the shipping facilities and is prominently marked with the red cross which makes it conspicuous among the others op the lake. There are various opinions as to the result of the project but the general one seems to be that it will be a suc cess and that it will promptly become a favorite resort. All the conditions are certainly very favorable, especially fov Hie diseases that ore benefitted or cured by the air of the woods. It 4s understood that tickets will he issued to woodsmen and others similar to those of the Old Town hospital so that the m.

The captain and pilot, according to the reports printed, after railing became alarmed and took their valuable cargo to the Cayman is lands. where they divided it. The captain is quoted as saying he could not return witli his cargo to Colon, because he had declared his vessel to be in ballast when he cleared from that port.

ON THE RANCH. Western Air and Proper Food Give Long Life. The fine bracing air of the far West is sometimes counteracted by bad food. A combination of Rood food and air however, is pretty hard to beat. Out ih Wood Lake, Neb.. Mrs. .Paul Kennicott lives on a ranch: she has to send in to Omaha for most of the necessities of life and got her first sup ply of Postum in that way. She writes that for nearly a year she has used Postum Coffee exclusively and many who stopped with her. as they frequently do on the ranch, could not tell it from the best brand of coffee. We quote a portion of her letter as her reason for using Postum exclusively in the household. She says. “I know it ha3 had a bene ficial effect on my family. I hear very little complaint of dull headache as I used to when we drank -coffee! as for myself, I was so troubled with palpita tion and aching of my heart that 1 con sulted a physician and was told that I had serious heart trouble which would necessitate my giving up everything but the lightest housework. But now after a busy summer s work, doing the cooking for my family, which with the hired help numbers 8 and 10 persons. I can sry that I have had no trouble with my heart and mV general health is excellent. -T wish all coffee drinkers could realize how they are undermining their health by its use and would change to that best of all drinks. Postum Coffee. I wish to add that we use a package of Grape-Nuts a day which will attest the favor in which the tooTas well os the coffee is held by my family." COULDN’T ESCAPE Stanton, When Shot, Was Run ning from Murderer. Dr. Ford So Belii the Bull iAws from Position of lltt Wounds. Mills' Money and Possession of Stan ton’s Time Check. Milo. Me., Oct. 24.—Sheriff Edward Ireland. Coroner J. T. Martin, County Attorney M. L. Durgin and Dr. L. C. Ford arrived here, today, from Patten with Oeorge Mills, under arrest for the murder of Martin Stanton, and Jeffer son Mitchell, who found the body and who is one of the chief witnesses. The coroner’s inquest to investigate the death of Stanton began at 3 o’clock and after the examination of two witnesses adjourned until 2 o’clock tomorrow. Dr. Ford and Mitchell were ques tioned only briefly. Dr. Ford described the location of the wound in the head, made in his opinion by firing from the rear. He testified to the finding of an other gunshot wound, four inches un der the left shoulder blade, and com ing out at the front after taking a downward course through the chest. The open space in which Stanton's body was lying when found is several feet below the road level and Dr. Ford believes Stanton, knowing the mur derer’s intention, was running to cover when the two shots were fired. Mitchell testified to seeing Mills count $37 in hills and coin at one of the camps after the disappearance of Stanton. He saw a time check for $72, bearing Stan ton’s name, which he alleges Mills showed at the camp and claimed was his own. Mills was taken to the Dover jail, where he will be confined except when called to testify before the coroner’s inquest. THE PRISONER MILLS Now at Dover and Gives His Uame as Edward Ballard. Dover, Mo., Oct. 24.—George Mills, alias Edward Ballard, arrived here, to night, in charge of Sheriff Ireland and was re-arrested on the charge of mur dering Martin Stanton. The warrant was sworn out on complaint of James M. Knowles, the lecifl Jailer, and served by Sheriff Ireland. It gave the prison er's name as Edward Ballard. Ballard, as he now calls himself, will be given a hearing the first of the week at the completion of Coroner Martin’s inquest at Milo. MASS MEETING AT BOWDOIN. Students Enthusiastic and Hopeful for Today’s Game With Colby. Brunswick, Me., Oct. 24.—(Special). —One of the greatest mass meetings in the history of Bowdoin College was held, tonight, in Memot ial hall and the enthusiasm and support tendered the football eleven was simply immense.

George Eogg, 02, of Portland, a member of last year's team and who has been here for a few days assisting in coaching the team. Coach O'Connor and others. It was announced that Gumble Brothers will give a costly silver cup to the member of the team making the best showing in the Maine College games. The awarding will he made by a special committee. The new songs written for the Bow doin-Colby game were sung and it is safe to say that the Bowdoin boys will make themselves heard, tomorrow. Bowdoin will insist that the game be played to the limit, two 35-minute halves. The lineup of Bowdoin’s eleven will be: Center, Staples; guards. Shaw and Havey; tackles, Davis and Conners; ends, Philoon and Porter; halfbacks, Munro and Bates; quarterback, Per kins; fullback, Finn.

The team has been under the most rigid Gaining and practice and is in first-class condition, every man fit and ready to do hs level best to win the game. With good weather conditions the crowd will probably be the largst ever seen at a football game. Big crowds are expected from Auburn, Lewiston and Bath, while Colby will come down on a special train and Augusta, Gar diner, Hallowell and other Kennebec river places will send large parties.

Markle Co's. col lieries and the men working at the Drifton mine of Coxe Bros Co.. last night, voted to continue on strike until the conditions on which they are to he taken back by these firms are changed. One of the officials of Coxe Bros. Co., said, today: "We insist that all the members for merly employed at our mines who went on strike shall apply to the re spective foremen as individuals if they wish to return. If we have room for them and they committed no acts of violence during the strike they will be taken back with the understanding that the non-union meti must not be molested. Every man who struck is considered by us as having left our employ and that is why we will not re sume operations by permitting the men to work in a body.” At Silver Brook colliery, operated by J. S. Wertz Co., the men must also make application as individuals before operations are resumed. OLD HANDS ARE IDLE. Mine Operators Are Keeping the Men Who Staid by Them. Hari isburg, Pa..

MOLINEUX TRIAL Judge Lambert Insists on Attending to Business. Miss Miller Says Molineux Didn’t Buy the Bottleholder. Expert Tyrrell Goes Into Detail on Admitted Letters. New York. Oct. 24.—The defence in the Molineux trial again claimed an advantage, today, when Miss Emma Miller, the woman who sold the silver bottleholder which accompanied the poison package sent to Hairy Cornish, testified positively that Molineux was not the purchaser. Much of toduy's session was devoted to the examination of a handwriting expert who was positive that the ad dress on the poison package, three Cornish letters on interlaced crescent paiicr, the Barnet letters, admitted for purposes of comparison only, and let ters admitted to have been written by the defendant, were all written by the same hand. Court opened promptly, today. Judge Lambert being in his seat two min utes before 10.30 and having to wait for the lawyers. A big crowd, chiefly women, thronged the corridors and court room. Chas. F. Hughes of the Knicker bocker Club, testified that Cornish had made some scurrilous remarks about Mbllneux that witness reported to Molineux. Charges were made against Cornish but they were not sustained. Kmma Miller, the clerk In the Harte gen store in Newark, where the silver bottle holder was bought, was called to the stand and sworp. I thhik you had better come back. Monday." Mr. Osborne said, as soon ns Miss Miller had taken her seat. “Why?" demanded ex-Governor Black. “And why?" asked the court al most at the same time. “It is nearly three years since I saw Miss Miller.” Mr. Osborne replied, "and I desire lo talk over her testimony with her before examining her.” “Examine the witness now,” ruled the court. Miss Miller said she had the bottle holder submitted to her but doubted If she could recognize the person to whom she sold It. She admitted that she had demanded 2150 before she would give her testimony. Miss Miller said, replying to ex-Oov. Black, that she remembered selling the bottle here in question. Dec. 21, lt>S. She sold it to a man with grey eyes and a sandy beard. She was quite sure Molineux was not the man. Afte- o--Oov.

Justice Lambert held that the prosecution might show that Miss Mil ler had not always been certain about her ability to say that the defendant was not the man who bought the holder. Mr. Osborne asked the witness If she had not duely recorded that she might have been able to Identify the pur (Continued on page 2.)

FOOD FOR THE ARMY. Com. Gen. Weston Fraiseo His Subor dinates and Makes Fine Showing. Washington. On. -4.—The annual re port «f General John F.

Speaking of the withdrawal from I’uPa. tieneral Weston commends, the management of the commissary de i tment in the island under Col. W. I. Alexander. He aiso commends ('apt. I Hugh J. Gallagher, who had charge ou ;ae relief expedition to Martinique, of whom he says: credit is due Captain Galla ghei for the manner in which he dis charged the ddicatemission with which be was intrusted and demonstrated as other occasions have done to prove— Cuba and China—that he is notably a in in for emergencies." Considering affairs in the Philippines General Weston says: "Subsistence affairs in the Philip- i have i- ted at all times* com plex and difilcult problems, but the present period has been one of extreme ddih-ulty to ineo\v leu us in your own way. now you reached that conclusion.” The invitation was the signal for the erection of a large easel and black- board near the witness chair and in: Tilain view of the jury. Mr. Tyrrell took a large sheet of paper and was pinning it to the board when ex-Gov. Black protested. "What do you expect to do?” Justice Lambert asked the witness. T intend to illustrate the writings to1 show how I made my comparison and deduced my. conclusions.” "Excluded.” ruled the court. At counsel's request. Mr. Tyrrell ex-i plained how he made his comparison, and the jury, photographs ir. hand, j followed his talk. 'T.ook at Exhibit A (the poison pack-| age wrapper) and tell us what are the peculiarities of the handwriting.” said j Mr. Osborne. "It is a disguised handwriting." Tyrrell pointed out the similarity of! certain characteristics in the writing of the poison package and the Harpster letter. He found like peculiarities in tile writing of the other Cornish letters and of the Barnet letters that con vinced him :)1! were the work of the same hand. District Attorney Jerome made his first ptd appearance in the case at this pc by explaining to the court how much plainer the witness' demon stration would be if he were permitted to use the blackboard. Justice Lambert shook his head. Mr. Tyrrell declared again that the address on the poison package and the Barnet and Cornish letters were writ ten by the same hand, and then coun sel got the witness to say he had com pared the disputed writings with the writings admitted to have been made by the defendant. “And what conclusion did you reach?” asked the assistant district at torney. "One hand wrote them all,” said Tyr rell. "Now. your honor." said Mr. Osborne. “I want this witness to show on the blackboard the similarity of handwrit ing he found." Justice Lambert ruled that while the witness could not use the blackboard demonstration at this time, he might compare the different standards of handwriting. Mr. Tyrrell went on to Pick out single letters in the different writings, which, lie said, are in every instance that they occur, exactly sim ilar. The witness said he found the same peculiarities in all the conceded hand writings of the defendant. The jury seemed much impressed with Mr. Tyrrell's manifestation and followed every word he said and every movement he made ns he picked out lot ter after letter in the poison package address and found its 'counterpart in one or more of the conceded writings of the defendant. While Tyrrell was testifying ex-Gov. Black protested at the waste of time. "I think.” he said in an audible voice to Mr. Osborne, "the expert testimony should be limited to six months.” "I'll attend to that,” said the court somewhat sharply, and ex-Gov. Black, who evidently had not intended his re mark for the court's ear, sat down abashed. Tyrrell was still on his direct exami nation when the court adjourned until Monday morning. INTERNATIONAL TENNIS. Eritishers Expect American Experts to Contest in Their Games. London. Oct. 24.—The Lawn Tennis Association has been endeavoring to emphasize the international character of the game.

An English team will certainly be sent back to try and win the American cut* in 1303. but its personnel will be undecided until after the Wimbledon championships, to be decided in June. In the meantime Mr. Mewburn. secre tary of the association, told a repre sentative of The Associated Press that he fully expected that Whitman and Lamed and perhaps other Americans will participate in the British cham pionship games. He added that there was no doubt the British Association would be glad to bear part of the ex penses of the visitors if that was any inducement. DEATH ENDED ALL.

CUBAN RECIPROCITY TREATY Is Said to Be Very Satisfactory and Needs but Few changes. New York, Oct. 24.—It can be stated authoritatively that with the excep tion of a few minor changes the reci procity treaty submitted by Secretary Hay to President Palma is acceptable to the latter and cabinet, cables the Havana correspondent of the Tribune. Instructions as to changes desired have been sent to Minister Quesada at Washington, and if approved by the I’nited Mates, the treaty will be sent to Congress soon after it reconvenes. Just what alterations are asked for cannot he learned, but it is said Cuba wants equal terms for circulating Cu ba” commodities. President Palma has carefully guarded the contents of the treaty. However, it is safe to say it provides for a 20 per cent, reduction. There are now 6,505 municipal tele phones In Glasgow. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take Laxative Bromo-Qulnine Tablets.

Deuntzer, expres sed regret at the fact that the decision of the Randsthing In rejecting the Dan ish West Indies treaty made it appear that Denmark was a country which did not keep its word. The present ministry, he explained, was not te siionsible for the negotiations relating to the Danish West Indies. These had been started and kept up by various Rightist ministries. "If we now had a Rightist ministry," said Dr. Deuntzer, 'the attitude of the Randsthing would have been different. We take no re sponsibility for the attitude of the Randsthing nor for the future fate of the islands." A strong public sentiment is devel oping in favor of the dissolution of the Randsthing and an appeal to the peo ple. but the government shows no dis position in that direction. Various stories are told of distin guished influence brought to bear in order to secure sufficient adverse j votes in the Randsthing. It is said j thiU Princess Marie (wife of Prince j Waldemar, youngest son of the Kingl j secured the promise of one member to vote against the treaty, although he was elected in Seniew.fc-r by a pro- j sale majority. Government aid for the Danish West Indies will not be forthcoming to any large amount, but it appears to be gen erally believed that plans for and promises of private assistance will not materialize. There is some talk of an uprising in the islands. The National Tidende says a syndicate of bankers and merchants is projected with the Intention of establishing a bank in the Danish West Indies, encouraging agriculture there and promoting steam ship communication between the Baltic. West Indies and Ventral America. St. Thomas. D. W. I.. Oct. 24.—The is land of St. Croix received the news of the rejection of the Danish West Indies trea ty'vert- quietly. There was no excitement anywhere. The planters generally were disappointed but there was a feeling of relief at the fact that the question has been settled. The Si. Thomas Tidende says: "There is much gratification and satisfaction at the welcome close of a question which has kept the community in a state of unrest and excitement for the past thret trying years. We hail it with gladness alii) we earnestly hope the peaceful era now entered upon after protracted tur moil and confusion will he marked by prosperity.” A private telegram received here says a Danish plantation company and a steamship company will be started short ly. Political opposition here to the rejec tion of the treaty is Improbable. Rightbourne's Mall Notes says: "The rejection was a gnat surprise, it is d’t flcult to say whether it is tinai or not. It will possibly produce a grave constitu tional crisis should the Randsthing be dissolved, which is quite a contingency.” The Emperor of Turkey possesses an extensive system of agricultural banks under Government management, the pur pose of which Is to furnish small loans to farmers. The capital Is provided by t light annual tax on agricultural property. Principal agencies have been established in 65 cities, capitals of provinces of coun ties. and there arc 803 branches in less Im portant places. I Did You Ever See Iron Pyrites?

THE CONSUMPTION CONGRESS At Berlin Discusses the Discoveries of the Past Year. Berlin. Oct. 24.—About lrt«» eminent au thorities? on pathological research assem bled in the Prussian Parliament house. Thursday, to hear end talk over the results of another year's inquiries into the na ture and treatment of consumption. Most of those who have come to the congress from a dozen countries have something original to contribute. France is repre sented by 2** delegates and Germany by more. Among the German representa tives is Dr. Koch. who. however, today. fc*aid nothing. Great Britain is represent ed by four delegates and the other Ktiro pean countries have sent from three to in delegates. There are two delegates from the Fnited States. Prof. Brounrtel of Paris, was chosen chairman. The Congress sent a telegram to the President of the 1'nited States and to all the sovereigns of Kurope. ex pressing to each “as an illustrious patron for the prevention of tuberculosis our greatful homage.*' The feature of the day was an account by Dr. rhalmetto of UHe. France, of the house to house crusade against tubercii losis in Franch. especially the nursing at home system carried on by private benefi cence. The state partakes in this only bv subsidies trom the mutual betting at tne races. Dr. Chaimette said nearly two years of practice of this scheme gave a satisfying result. Many patients who had been looked after and helped from one to nine months resumed work, having no baccilii in their expectoration and had recovered the appearance of health, hi every re lapse patients were assisted and their economic life was thus lengthened. Dr. Van Rynn of Brussels, read a pa per on the notification of consumption cases to the health authorities, “the hap py results of which, and the preventative measures Involved could be seen in New YorK. where the consumptive death rate had decreased 150 per cent, in a few years.” This notification. Dr. Van Rynn added, should exist in all countries, because to destroy the infection centers it is neces sary to be informed where they exist. An Knglish delegate said compulsory notification was impossible in Kngland. owing to the public opinion against inter fering with the sanitary conditions of homes. The American delegates. Dr. Welch of Baltimore, and Dr. Charles Dennison oi Denver, were not present. The members of the co igress had ten I with Countess Von Buoiow at the chan- j cel lor* s residence, at 5 o’clock in the af ternoon. and they were entertained at va rious theatres. Thursday.

Efforts of Huntors to Call Bird and Boast.

The art of calling: ranks among the higher accomplishments of the hunter. Indeed one might almost say that the successful caller is born, not made. For instance, within a few days, a party of sportsmen sat in their boat amid the rushes and with ail kinds of patent quacking devices failed to in duce one of several flocks of ducks to float in their direction. Around the next point -sat a lad, who vigorously and successfuly commanded the pres ence of his victims by word of mouth, and whose gun was hot with barking out death to them. When the youngster tired of using his lips, he lapped with his heel on the bottom of his punt, anti the ducks appeared to make processions to his hiding place to quack out their willingness to die for him. It is not always the most perfect imitation which tells, for Joe Beaudoin, for years the prince of successful call ers. used to make a hoarse kind of bark only very remotely resembling a quack and yet seldom failed to sum mon the ducks Sometimes he would beat upon an upturned canoe, and the ducks, known as old squaw's from their noisy habits, would come from anywhere within sound to inquire what he wanted. Yet the ordinary black duck calls sold at the sporting goods stores are in experienced lips perfect imitations, and at times are extremely effective. A gunner sitting in the reeds watching his decoys and practising calls once noticed a bunch of rushes coming near to his masked, well-sunken boat. Without changing his position he watched what he supposed was a muskrat collecting winter supplies, >ntil a turn revealed the red coat of Reynard, a brother hunter who under cover of a mouthful of greenery, was seeking for the cause of the quacking. The call which deceived such a con noisseur as the fox must have been about perfect. Somewhat similar was an experience in far northern woods when Beaudoin was once demonstrating his ability to call up a red deer. His bugling through his closed fists was wonder fully like that of a stag. and so thought a hungry wolf that came sneaking into the beaver meadow or, the edge of which Joe was concealed, on the lookout for venison. An irritating instance of misused ibilitv on the part of another guide once spoiled a most promising caribou Hint. Three of these handsome deer had been sighted on a bare hillside nearly a thousand yards away from any cover. To bring them within shot a couple of handkerchiefs were fastened to long switches and slowly and regularly waved at the edge of a bush all through one afternoon. The keen sighted and curious creatures noticed the moving objects and, as they fed, moved in the direction of the ex temporized flags. At last they approached to within four hundred yards, and the hunters i were-about to try a shot at them when j the guide signalled them to await the nearer approach of the caribou. Hold- j ing the flags still, he issued a call, a j clear whistling kind of hiss. in a moment the white-scarfed, dun i bodies were in motion in the opposite direction. As they started it was no ticed that they gave back the ••hist!" of the guide, and the party in hiding suspected what they realized, after two or mree instances of the same thing, that the call given by the guide was the danger signal of the caribou, such is is used by their sentinels at times ■Hi.n safety depended upon instant flight. 'As a matter of fact, curiosity in the animal called is as important an ele ment as the skill of the caller. The writer has more than once brought duck and even geese from a distance, sometimes from flight, by jerking a cord fastened to a wooden trough an chored in a lake, and thereby produc ing a good splashing. A very fair call on a frosty morning is produced by setting out a tin can in which are two or three butternuts, and making it plunge about. wildly and noisily in the water. The most wary of all waterfowls, the great northern diver, can generally be attracted to within easy range of a blind by hanging out a red handker chief and knocking two stones to gether regularly for some time. Not infrequently the pine lumber cutters are surprised while at work by the presence of inquisitive moose and f The Ultra-fashionable suite for young men this season are the Double and Single Breasted Lenox, made with broad military shoulders, close fitting back, flaring slightly at the bottom, 27 to 28 inches in length.

Instances are on record in which I choppers have been killed by the in furiated onslaught of bull moose, probably vexed at having been brought long distances to see nothing more in teresting than men chopping down trees. An irrascibie sportsman, disgusted with incompetent guides and uncon genial companions in former years, set out on his autumn campaign with only a lad, who was to act as camp at tendant. The litt'e chap was furnished with an ancient tin horn with which to summon his master to meals or when his presence was desirable at the tent. One evening his call was answered by a hoarse blast at a distance, and the lad. not knowing what it meant, kept on repeating his blowing, until to his amazement and fear a huge moose came rushing out of the woods in a state of wild excitement. The creature stood staring in aston ishment at the caller for a full minute, during which the old hunter was within thirty feet of him in most per fect misery. The hunter had the long coveted chance to kill a moose and se cure a stupendous head, and his weapons were a fishing rod. a shot gun i and an empty cartridge belt, i His survey ended, the lordly moose gave a snort of disgust and turned away, and the hunter s opixtrtunity was gone. _ i THE GOVERNMENT HAD ITS WAY.

White, Bangor High school, presided. The opening address was made by Principal W. E. Sargent, Hebron Academy, whose subject was "The Re lation of the Academy and High School to the College." He handled the ques tlon in his usual vigorous way. Mr. Sargent thought that the colleges Should not be too particular in their examinations, but should give the boy or girl a chance to enter, even though they may in some technical particular, fall short of the full requirements. "Boys who work to secure the money to take them to college." said Prof. Sargent, “should not be neglected be cause they may fail to put an accent in its proper place in Greek examinations: for such boys have the spirit and the courage to overcome all obstacles if they arc only given a chance. The recommendation of principals as to students’ capabilities should also be considered by the colleges." concluded Mr. Sargent, as he sat dow n amid ap plause. Prlncial C. C. Spratt, Bridgton Academy, presented an excellent pa per on "The Relation of the Secondary Schools to the Lower Schools." After the consideration of some business matters the association ad journed until 9 o'clock, this morning, when the following program will be carried out: 9.00—Business rrfeetlng.

Harrington, i'ni verslty of Maine: Professor G. T. Files. Bowdoili College; and Principal 11. \V. Foss. Higgins Classical Institute: and it is hoped that this discussion will he gen erally participated in by others present. Remarks will be limited to 10 minutes tor each speaker. GROWING WILD ANIMALS. One Year’s Progress in New York Zoological Park. Professor Osborn has recently'trans mitted to Mayor Low a full statement of the progress of the New York Zoolog ical Park. Its increasing popularity is shown by a comparative statement of the attendance for the current year, the net Increase up to September 1 be ing 222.37S. It is now estimated that the increase for the year will be be tween 50 and 60 per cent., or close to HOO.OOO visitors, as compared with 527, 115 during 1901. The most gratifying feature was the very marked increase during the mid-summer months of July and August, showing that the Park is enjoyed by those who are obliged to remain in the city during the summer. There were 12,000 paid admissions at the gates on the two closed days of the week, the proceeds of which, together with those of the various privileges of the park, con stitute a special fund for the purchase of animals, according to the agreement between the society and the city. The lion house, the most imposing building In the park, with the excep tion of the proposed elephant house, is now rapidly nearing completion, and Mr. Hornaday. the director of the park, has been sent by the society on a special tour through Kurope to secure a supply of lions, tigers, and leopards worthy of this noble building. It is over 200 feet in length, and is placed directly opposite the monkey house, at the southwest angle of the court. The exterior is richly ornamented by a sculptured cornice with the heads of various members of the cat family. Over the doorways are still unfinished pediments representing recumbent male and female lions, and two senti nel lions will be placed on either side of ‘he entrances at the ends of the building. All this sculpture has been entrusted to Eli Harvey, who has made a special study of the great felines, and mil' ii "ill i ai ivi 1111^ j»ui in. Interior of the building is a long, simple Mall, with the cages on the east side, opening at the back into great outdoor fages on Baird Court. The lining of the interior cages is of opalite tile, se lected to give the best color background to the tawny shades of most of the larger cats, with a border faience of desert or jungle design for the lions and tigers respectively. The new feature is the entire abolition of iron bars and the substitution of woven steel wire, which will obstruct fur less the \-iew of the animals. The growth of the collections is most gratifying. Among the mam mals alone, the number of species rep resented has Increased during the year from 110 to 141. and the number of specimens has increased from 411 to e of any use to other suffering women, you have my full permission to publish it.”—Mrs. Mary Kober. 5492 Ellis Ave., Chicago. 111.— $5000 forfeit if original of above letter proving genuineness cannot be pro duced. Free Medical Advice to Women. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham. at Lynn. Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and an swered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman thus has been estab lished the eternal confidence lietween Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks noth ing in return except your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is'verv foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. lanterns anil family parties are in or der. Much the same program is carried out in Japan, where every one appears in a brand new suit of clothes. The Japanese New Year was formerly a movable feast like that of the Chinese, but it is now celebrated on a day cor responding to our first of January. Isonhros of mammoth proportions are kindled on New Year's eve in Persia— New Year's is March _!1—and people dance about them. This holiday is the most important of the year and fast ing lasts for 10 dajs: every one appears in new clothes. No people in the world make more of New Years than the Scotch, and in numerable are the superstitions cor nel ted wth the day. In the first place, oil getting out of bed in the morning, one must step on something higher than the bed that the first step may be taken upward. In dressing, if unfor tunate enough to put the left shoe on t'ist or a garment on wrong side out, one must entirely undress again even to the taking down of one's hair and dress over again. It is bad luek to be late for breakfast and good luck to be the fir^t one to speak to the cook. All salt-cellars must be full and the bread basket well supplied; if a basket of eggs or of oranges is1 brought as present it indicates the la st kind of good luck. AH garments if possible should hi' new and a torn, garment should on n" account be worn. Neither hair nor nails must Ik* cut: money must oe in the purse and the purse iti the pocket.

GIVING UP PARCHMENT. j The British Public Will Save $40,000 a Year by Substituting Paper. (l.ondon Telegraph.) Sir Francis Jeune on Monday last i pronounced a judicial separation be tween probate lawyers and parchment. Thc-e is not an absolute divorce be cause, although on and after January I next grants itnd engrossments in the prorate division will be on epecial pa j per instead of parchment, the latter time-honored material tor legal docu 1 inents may be used if it is particularly desired. It is well that this permission is attached to the injunction, for the I mind recoils from the idea of any branch of the law being entirely disas associuted from parchment. Precisely what the object of this change may be is not quite clear. It is stated that the public will stive some thing like econo year. This sum I would buy a considerable quantity of parchment in the ordinary way: but [perhaps things are different in the legal market. A sheet of parchment would cost three pence or four pence from a stationer, but. when it finds its way in to a lawyer's hill if expenses, for pence read shillings. The special paper would cost about a penny a sheet: it remains to be .seen what its legal value would lie. Possibly claimants for probate may have a better idea of the value of paper than of parchment. The question, however, arises wheth er the public will regard paper, special as it may be. as a satisfactory substi tute- for parchment. Grants in probate are. of course, not like leases of estates, deeds end other classes of legal docu ments and are not often required to withstand the effects of time to the same degree, still the public prefers to have its law documents in an en during form, and although it ntay save £8000. the individual will probably save only a few shillings, and would rather have the more expensive, but more last ing material. Fiction writers would often lie hard put to it If they could not ptoduce mus ty parchment documents of ancient dates, proving that the poor but honest hero is entitled to the family estate. i>ut. in hard fact, the value of endur ance in the material of legal documents has too often been shown to lead the Public to put faith readily in anything but parchment. Still, special paper has been used for -some time now for affida vits and memorials for the registry of deeds. Perhaps th“ time may come when there will be special kinds of ma terial for different kinds of documents, jaccording t Signor Taeggi, in Italian, who is said to have made some marvelous impiove ments in the method of collecting and dispatching mail matter.

Thf influx of immigrant for the year eliding June 3a, 1902, was almost s large as that of the banner year oI 1S82. In that vtar the arrivals num beri'it 788,992. From that figure it fell off in tin' sui-ceeding years, and so quieted public apprehension by sug gesting that perhaps the great immi gration movement was passing over. In 1895 immigration had fallen off to 258,000, and in 1*9* to 229.000, but it has sinee then been rapidly growing until in tlie liseul year under review' the total alien immigration amounted to 730,798, an increase of 187.930 over the preceding year. This included, of course, the cabin aliens, numbering in ail 82,0aa. who are not as a. rule im jrig ruts :,i tV men certation of .:e i It if v.o; tit v.h an great boily of foreigners who come to us, nnd see who and what they are, anil to bring ourselves to an appre ciation of the dangers which they bring with them. The Washington correspondent of the New York Post takes the dry figures of the immigra tion bureau and finds in them many suggestive facts and interesting com parisons. lie shows, for instance, that during the year inor-- Italians arrived in the United States as immigrants than live in old Venice, and one-third as many as live in Home. If the Ital ian immigrants of this single year had been congregated in a space on the plains, now uninhabited, they would have made there a city larger than Providence or St Paul. The Austro Hungarians were within a few thou sands of Ic ing as many. The Russian empire, winch stands third in the size of its contribution to our population, sent hire in the last fiscal year the same number ol' persons approximate ly as live in a eity like Syracuse or New Haven or Fall River. Here, then are three Kuropean stocks which are pouring into the I'nited States at the present rate a population each year not min h less than that of Hnltimore or St. I.ouis. It is easy to see that such a condition presents grave prob lems. The recent anthracite coal strike has given the country a notion of the crudeness of the racial elements which are now tilling the land, whll the inter* iews of a Dcvery or a “I)rv Dollar” Sullivan presents a picture of the statesman whom the sections in which the immigrant population ir overwhelming select to represent them. The falling off in the arrivals from western Kurope, relatively, at least, continues notable. Ireland showed an actual decrease over the preceding year of 1.403: and in its total immigra tion of Hi*. 13X, there were 4.000 more women than men. although among every other lace the preponderance was on the otiier side. In some cases, it is startlingly so. Among Croatian* and Slovenians, the male immigrants exceed the female ninefold. Among the per cent. How much this proportion might he still further reduced by "coaching" in preparation for the test is another consideration. It is plain that if the I'nited States Government really de sires to enter upon a policy of exclu sion it will have to take some more radical step than merely debarring those persons between the ages ef fif teen and fifty a ho cannot cither toad or write in some language. The commissioner of immigration prefaces his annual rejiort hv saying that the llgures do not include arrivals from the neighboring countries of Mexico and Canada, except such as

come from abroad through ports of those countries for the avowed pur pose of entering the t'nlted States. Thus it will be seen that the totals re Iiorted fall short considerably of rep resenting the actual arrivals in the country during the periods under re view. Three-fourths of all the immi grants come in at New York. One third of ail the arrivals assign that state as their intended destination: and presumably that means, in the minds of most of them, the city itself. Pennsylvania comes second in intend ed destination, Massachusetts third, and Illinois fourth. These figures have lit tle significance, however, as few of the persons who supply them really know their own purposes or can foresee where they will finally settle. The small part which the South plays in the movement is still notable.^ Only 170 immigrants announced their pur pose of going to South Carolina, or about one-fortieth of one per cent. Of these, 2d were French and 71 Finnish. Kven Vermont was the assigned des tination of ten times as many. The great stream turns towards the four cities,' New York, Philadelphia, lloston and Chicago. A Delay in the Danish Islands. Uy a tie vote the Danish parliament, -••laixlsthing," they call it,—has re fused to ratify the treaty by which its West Indian possessions, the little islands of St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John, were to be sold to this coun try for the sum of *5.000,000. Unless there is a reconsideration of this vote, which seems unlikely, the acquisition of these islands by our country is blocked for a time, it is only for a time, however, for they are sure to come under our Has ultimately. The delay will not he taken as a very se rious matter in this country. In the islands themse'ves. however, there is likely to be some disappointment for they had voted for annexation, and realized how much better will be their industrial and commercial conditions under American rule. it is iinout tii years since im1 iH quisition of those islands by the Fnited States was lirst. discussed. At one time a treaty for their purchase was ratified by Denmark and rejected by our Senate, a situation just the re verse of the present one. The islands are only a financial burden to Den mark and it is impractical for that country long to retain them. Annexa tion to this country is their only fate, as this country will not tolerate their acquisition by any jtower of Kurope. It is not so necessary, in fact, for us to haw them as it is for us to see that no European power gets possession of them. We can use them commercially and strategically, however, particular ly with an isthmian canal in existence. At present tlie islands are a pauper colony of Denmark: under the Ameri can flag they would become prosper ous and progressive, as their neighbor, Porto Rico, is becoming, and that happy end is their ultimate destiny. And now Frank A Munsey steps into New England journalism and purchas es .the good old Boston Journal, that sterling and always reliable exponent of New England Republicanism.

One ot the recent publications in the historical line is the “History of San ford. Maine.” a large volume of !>37 pages, containing 33 full-page por traits of prominent citizens and genealogies of many noted families of this enterprising York county town. The work is written by Edwin Emery, late ot New Bedford, and edited and prepared for publication by his son. William M. Emery, now a Fall River journalist. Both Mr. Emery and his son are graduates of Bowdnin College and they come of the best V ork county stock. Mr. Emery devoted nearly twenty vears to the arrangement of the facts which make up the history of his native'town, which tells of .ts life from the time of its purchase from the Indians in 1661 up to the present time. The book is a valuable addition to the historical literature ot Maine, and deserves the perusal of everyone who is interested in the records of the noted families of that section of the State.

AN IDEAL MEDICINE. A New Discovery Which Cures all Forms of Catarrh. The tablet is the ideal form in which to administer medicine, but until re fently no successful catarrh tablet had ever been attempted. There is now, however, an excellent and palatable remedy for catarrh in tablet form, known as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and sold by druggists, composed ot the most recent discoveries in medicine for the cure of catarrh and results from tin it- use have been highly gratifying. The old time tteatment of catarrh was in the form of Inhalers, washes, touches, sprays, etc. Igiter on internal remedies were used with greater sun ePs, hut being in liquid or powder form were inconvenient to use and like till ne.licim s in liquid or powder form, lose their medicinal properties when opened >r exposed to the air. Stuart s cntarrn iudms, contain Highly concentrated uirtiseptics, Hy drastin. Blood root, and Red gum which kill the catarrh germs ir. the bleed and mucous membrane, nnd in this respect are strictly scientific and nodern. because all authorities are now igreed that catarrh is a constitutional :>!ood disease, ami local applications an have only a transitory effect. The nse of Inhalers, douches and sprays is a nuisance and ineonvenier.ee and ean in no wise compare favorably with the same antiseptics given in tab let form ftiternally, where they can reach the stomach and blood and kill ■titarrh germs right where they are produced. A prominent lawyer and public ■peaker of 1’ittsburg says: I have been troubled with catarrh of the head mil throat for twelve years. In thK liinate it seems impossible to get rid if it. The continual droj ping of muons from the nose into the throat caused natation and hoarseness, seriously in terfering with my public speaking. It took me an hour or more of coughing, gagging, expectorating and sneezing every morning before I could settle down to work and this condition grad ually brought on catarrh of stomach, ausing loss of appetite, poor digestion ind a foul breath, which annoyed me xceeiVngly. My physician advised inc o try Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and I look them fer two months and was slonished to find how quickly they leuryd n.y head,, throat and stomach and I have no hesitation in recom mending them. They ate not only pleasant to take, but they seem to get at the very root of the trouble, because Jdiiee using them I have had no trace of catarrh.

PAIN IN THE BACK. A Sure Sign of Kidney Trouble. Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy Will Cure You. Pain in the back is a nevei* failing sign of kidney disease; another sure sign is the condition of the urine; if vou have a pain in the back then look to the condition of your urine. Take a glass tumbler and fill it with urine; after it has stood 24 hours, if it has a sediment, if it is milky or cloudy, pale or discolored, stringy or ropy, your kidneys and bladder are in a danger ous condition and need immediate at tention, or the consequences may prove fatal. c. Wilcox of 559 New Britain ave., Hartford. Conn., says: "1 had a frightful pain in my back, the result of kidney trouble. My physician seemed powerless to relieve me. I determined to try Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy; it helped me wonderfully, and in a short time cured me com pletely.” Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Rem edy is the one medicine that really cures all diseases of the kidneys, liver, bladder and blood, rheumatism, dys pepsia and chronic constipation and corrects the bad effects of whisky and beer on the system. It is wonderful how it makes that pain in the back disappear, how it relieves the desire to urinate often, especially at night, and drives away that scalding pain in passing water and in a remarkably short time makes you well and strong. All druggists sell Dr. David Ken nedy’s favorite remedy in the new 50c. size and the regular $1.00 size bottles. Sample bottle—enough for trial, free by mail.

AMUSEMENTS. “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” There are some theatrical attrac tions that are not effected in the least degree by the shifting public taste. One of these is Stetson's "1'ncle Tom’s Cabin," the Standard American drama that has retained its hold upon the public for over a decade. Its first production took place in the Troy Mu seum. It was then put on at the old National Theatre. Chatham Street. New York, in January, 1S53, where it enjoyed a three years’ run to enor mous business. It will be presented at the Opera House on Wednesday af ternoon and evening. Oct. 29. by Stet son's Company, an organization which is said to be of a very superior order. The matinee will not commence until 3.1J in order that school children can witness this grand old play. The seat sale will open Monday next at 10 M. Rose Coghlan. Paula Tanqueray, the notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith. Countess Stephanie De Mohrivart, Countess Zicka, Queens Catherine and Elizabeth of England, and Mary Stuart, of Scotland, are among the notable impersonations which Miss Bose Coghlan has pre sented during her distinguished career. Her great vocal power, regal stage presence. elaborate costumes and knowledge of the most intricate details of her art ensure .a fine performance of "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray'’ at the Opera House on Friday. Oct. 31. The seat sale opening, which will un doubtedly be a large one, will be an nounced shortly. PERSONAL MENTION. Mrc. F. W. Murray has returned from a short trip to Boston. Hon. T. S.

Nearly Two-Third* of Mine* in Opera tion, Thursday. Wiikesbarre, Pa.. Oct. 24.—The re sumption of mining throughout the i anthracite region was not as general. Thursday, as was expected. Unlocked for difficulties were encountered in the j shape of water and accumulated gas and dangerous roofs which threatened to fall and entomb the workers were also discovered in many of the col lieries. The mine superintendents would take no chances and the mining of coal was put off until all parts of the underground workings can be made safe. This will take u few days yet and in some cases it will take weeks before some of the mines can be put in full operation. From reports received front the entire anthracite re l gion, the number of mines In opera tion is given as a little less than two thirds of the total num'Jer. but the output of coal was less than half the normal. The Delaware. Dackawanna West ern Co. took the lead in the production. Their collieries are in better shape than the mines operated by the othor large companies. An increase of 20 per cent, in the output may be expect ed. tomorrow. As was to be expected, there was more or less dissatisfaction among the old employes over the re-opening of the mines. President Mitchell expects that when all the mines get in opera tion there will be less complaints. It looks as though the union engi neers were going to have some diffi culty getting buck their old places. At nearly every mine where the striking engineers made application for work they were told that there were no va cancies. A large number of carpen ters are also out in the cold. A dele gation of carpenters waited upon President Mitchell, today, and told him of their grievances. The chief of the Miners Union advised his callers to wait a few days and see if employment would not be offered them. President Mitchell believes that when general resumption takes place there will be few of the mine employes Idle. The firemen are being taken back in larger numbers than any of the other steam men. President Mitchell was busy at headquarters. Thursday, getting the miner’s side of the case in shape for presentation to the arbitration board. Great preparations are now under way for the celebration of Mitchell day in this city, Oct. 2!>. $250,000 for Missionary Work. Cleveland, Oct. 24.—A number of in teresting addresses were delivered at Thursday's session of the General Methodist Missionary convention. The sum of *250,000 had been raised at 11 o’clock, tonight, tor Methodist mission work. The scenes during the raising of the money were of the greatest en thusiasm. SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES. Frank Jordan of Old Town, was ar raigned before Judge Hailey in the Bangor police court. Thursday, on the charge of highway robbery. He plead ed not guilty and was released upon *500 bail which was furnished by his father. Benjamin F. Jordan. A further hearing in the case will be held, Mon day. when the officers are confident thf t Jordan will be bound over to the grand jury which meets next Febru ary. The prisoner is accused cf be ing the accomplice of Beecher Kendall, who is now out on $1000 bonds, in the robbery of Clarence Winchester of Blower at Exeter, Oct. 2. The work cn the new extension of the Bangor Aroostook Railroad is progressing fairly well considering the weather. Rails are laid some 20 miles 1 north of Portage lake. The great finds of soft coal which have been spoken of have not yet materialized to such an extent as to interest capitalists, tine man who lias been on the premises a great deal says the most he has seen of it has been in the newspapers which hove said that soft coal had been foami along the line „f the railroad near Fish river and that blacksmiths were using It hut he says he has been "vor the new extension considerable since last spring and has heard hut little about soft coal being discovered.

There are at present only two political parties on the Island, the- old and the new. They take turns in choosing their officers; one year the old party has full sway and the members of the new party stay away from the pods. The next year It is vice versa; the new has the right cf wav and the old absent themselves from the voting place. As far as can is* learned there is no particular con test for office this year. j A party of live Pawtucket sportsmen. several of whom are members of the police force in that city, arrived in j Bangor on the Maine Central train i frotT» Enfield at 9.17 o’clock Thursday morning.

The location of the new dam is about 160 feet above the old one. and while the latter crossed tiie stream at an angle, tip) new structure is built di rectly across. Its extreme length, in cluding wings, is -9S feet, but much of the masonry, naturally, is buried in either bank. The rollway, or that part of the dam over which the water falls, is 100 feet wide. The height of the dam. from the foundation 10 the top of the wings, is 31 feet, and to the top of the roll was. feet. The thickness :u iron, about 100 feet loner, and 10 feet in diameter.

Two new 36-inch Hercules water wheels will also be put in. and workmen are now en gaged iu dialing the wheel pits. As these are to be sunk in the solid ledge, it is slow work, arid a. large amount of blasting is being done. The outside work will necessitate a number of alterations in the mill, ir the way of shafting and pulleys, on account of increased speed of 'he wheels, and a short shut down will probably be necessary in order to make the changes. The contract for building the dam is hehl by L. N. Farnum of Boston, and the engineer in charge of the work is Geo. S. Hewlns of the same city.

BLOOD WINE Hus Chita Mu Oh iltlren should experience good health in order to grow into strong men and women. People are often sickly and weak because of their frail constitution when children. The body when "rowing needs all the nourishment it can get, for that reason parents should be doubly cartful about their children’s physical condition. “Blood Wine” is relished by all children, and there is nothing that will do them as much good. It gives them strength of body and brain. It stirs up the circulation, keeps the stom ach in good order and the bowels right. Next time your child is ailing just try “Blood Wine” on it. It contains no wine and is perfectly harmless. Mr. Michael McL'uo, of 688 Lakeview Avenue, Lowell, Mass., has a rugged little child who a few months ago was trail and sickly. This is how it happened “My little girl lias been ailing for alone time i and It gave us the greate.-t uneasiness for tliero was no way of compelling her to take medicine.

Try as hard as we woidd she could not be persuaded to swallow anything that hail a semblance to medicine until Blood Wine’was recommended. Auer much coaxing, she de. elded It would do her no harm, and once tasted, she has never failed to remind ns lhat It Is i ‘Medicine time.’ Her r.trength has come back I to her, she is bright and cheerful as a erh l.td and grows fleshier every day.

THE WHITE HOUSE OF 1800. Spirit of That Time in the Reetora tion. In the spirit of the year 1S00. the con veniences for comfort ot the mansion of the present day have been tpplied to the White House. It is hard to be lieve that the presidential tesidence of John Adams and ids immediate succes sors was heated by fireplaces, lighte 1 by candles and whale oil lamps, and that the only bathing facilities consis ted of portable tubs to which a servant convened buckets of hoi and cold wa ter. There never has been anything like speaking lubes between the living rooms of the White House up to the present time, in that and other respects lin king the conveniences of the simp lest of private houses. Judging from what the renovation shows, the plumb er seems to have been as much a'dis covery of the nineteenth century as the electrical litter. The new White House will witness a restoration of the principal fireplaces, which had either been covered up en tirel> or built over into a smaller size. In most eases, as in the Hast Itoom, they have been used for the heating registers, and by a seeming propriety of descent a stream of hot air has poured out from the spot undei the mantle where the fireplace used to be The only visible heating apparatus in the house will be the restored firepla ces. which will l>e of their original di mensions. Of these the East Room has four. When the room is in use for re ception purposes rough logs of wood will tie kept smouldering there. Tills will also be Ihe case ill the State Din lng-lloem. The house will h- abund antly heated, and by methods that per mit ol easy control, without the wood tires so that their purpose will be pure ly oniMMS^I. It is obvious what a giate of tire of the size necessary today to heat such rooms as these would have to burn so fiercely as to keep peo ple away at a considerable radius and so would l»e wasteful of previous space. No one could sit in the State Dining Room near a fireplace whieh was act ually heating it. Thus the fathers of j the republic, while they had in their! heating arrangements the advantage of j picturesoueiiess. sacrificed much in real comfort, especially in extreme] we.-1her. The dimensions of ihe East Room fireplaces are 41- fc-t in width, ll'j feet high and J feet deep ill lighting, gas and gas fixtures have been practically cleared out. I' has long been evident that the use of electricil y ill the type of chandeliers suitable for gas or oil lighting was an absurdity when electricity only was to i lie employed. This permits much more tasteful ind’ effective methods of dis play.

Marshal Breen is keeping hard after liquor sellers these days. The last rsld was on Daniel Sheehan, who runs the place formerly owned by Frederick L. Hopkins. This place was visited, late Thursday afternoon, and a large quantity of hard liquors and beer was found. Sheehan was arranged before Judge Andrews, yesterday morning, and given a fine of *100. He appealed. Mr. L. A. Dyer, a special agent of the U. S. Internal Revenue depart ment. is looking up the liquor dealers of this county, this week, and In specting the tax receipts. Those who neglected to pay at the proper time are permitted to do so now, with the penalty added. Among them we un derstand, were the managers of a re cent picnic where lager beer was dis pensed. The joke of this lies in the fact that speeches were made on the occasion by two well known temper ance advocates, both of them court officials whose duties are not uncon nected with the enforcement of the prohibitory law.—Rockland Opinion, Oct. 21. Says the Rockland Opinion: "Mr. Oliver L. Hall, staff correspondent of the Bangor Commercial. Is visiting friends in his old home town of Rock land, accompanied by ills wife and child. Mr. Hail has a vacation of a week—the first he has had for several years—and there was no place within his spherp of influence that suited him so well or where he could get mode fun in a week, than Rockland. Thanks for the compliment to the town, and we assure him that he will go far be fore finding people more glad to see him than ours are." Mr, Hall is a son of Judge O. G. Hall of this city, and tepresented the Bangor Commercial at the last session of the Legislature. What might have been a serious acci dent was narrowly averted, the other day, when five teams came down Rhine's hill all bunched with the rear team loaded with wood. For some cause or other the horse hitched to the load became frightened and com menced to run and kick. This was near the top of the hill and control of the animal was lost. As luck have it, when the team was nearly. half way down the hill one of the tugs gave way causing the horse to aFWSR, around suddenly in such a manner that one of the thills was caught on the upper side of one of the Iron Tall* of the fence.

A number of football c ranks will go to Brunswick, today, to witness the Colby-Howdoin game, and thev expect to see one of the best games to be played in Maine, this season, ft is pre dicted that Bowdoin will show a great spurt of strength in this game, as she always plays the limit in a Maine col lege game. She has some excellent ma terial and her splendid coaching has l>ut the team on edge for today’s game. On the other hand t'olby is strong. She has Star men and knows the game. It looks like a toss-up as to which will win. Tax Collector J. R. Townsend has just posted the annual notice and ad vertisement of the sale of land of resi dent owners, whose taxes for the year of 11*01 remain unpaid. The notice states that if these taxes with interest and charges are not previously paid, so much of the real estate taxed as is sufficient and necessary to pay the amount due therefor, including interest and charges, will be sold at public auc tion at the office of the tax c ollector on the first Monday in December, at r. A. M The list comprises 82 real estate owners. There are many persons in this city w ho make it a business to buy nearly .ill the leading magazines each month. The 10-cent magazines have the call in Augusta book stores, and Munsey's outstrips them all in the number of copies sold each month. McClures is a good second, but the Strand. Pearson's, I^eslie's and all the other moderately priced publications do not sell one tenth as many copies on an average as Munsey's. The high-cost magazines like the Century. Harper's, Scribner's and the Atlantic Monthly, are pur chased by only a few. The station agent at the Maine Cen tral received notification, Friday morn ing, that the same rates as allowed the Waterville contingent would be allowed Aupustans who wished to attend the Colby-Bowdoin football game at Bruns wick. this afternoon. This rate is I! for the louml trip. A special will leave Waterville at 12.4.r> P. M. and Augusta at 1.15. it will also stop at Hallowell and Gardiner. Keturning. the special will leave Brunswick at 6 o'clock. This announcement will be gladly received, as there is a large crowd who intend to go down to witness the contest. The game will begin at 3 o’clock. Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis, who is su perintendent of the National Legisla te work of the W. C. T. U. at Wash ington. will deliver an address at a union meeting, Sunday night, at 7.30, in the Winthrop Street Baptist church. Mrs. Ellis was a delegate to the Na tional gathering of the temperance workers in Portland and. last Sunday morning, delivered an address In the Wllliston church. Tomorrow evening, she will relate some of her experiences before Congress, and being a woman of marked aDility the meeting promises to be one of the most inspiring ever held in our city under the auspices of the W. C. T. V. The public Is cordially invited, and a special invitation is ex tended to lawyers. City Collector James R. Townsend is considering the feasibility of intro ducing the card index system in con nection tfith the tax collection and records of bis office. The so-called tab" system is the kind he will select. This system combines an alphabetical arrangement with a very easy and simple classification of the paid and unpaid poll, personal or real estate taxes, respectively, for any given year. It enables one to determine in stantly at any time just who have failed to pay their taxes in any given class for any given year, and also dis penses with the necessity of referring to three or four different books to ob tain information which a single card will hold, "tab" system of card in dexes is in use in Portland and in some o| the other Maine cities. Its intro duction by Mr. Townsend would great ly assist him in transacting the busi ness of his office in a prompt and most efficient manner. A little more than $4.r>00 have been expended by the city of Augusta the present year in the construction of new sewers. There have been some im portant additions made to the city s seweragt* system this year. In there were more sewer inches con structed than in any previous year m the history of the city and this year a record is practically a duplication of Iasi year s record. The new Western avenue sewer is the largest built tlds vear It is 24 inches in diameter. The building of this sewer was not con templated at the beginning of the >eai. but the breaking down of the old stone sewer on this street necessitated its construction. The continuation of he Valley sewer on the East side of th river, from Bangor street as far as Gannett, is another important addition to the system in that section of the river- for its construction relieves the strain upon the Patterson street sewer, which was insufficient in rapacity to handle the drainage of the territory. The extension of the 'alley sewer is of great benefit to the re. dents in the section where it is located. The Stone street sewer was also con structed this year and that a so benefit to the people in that part of th city. The city officials say that by le. ting the work of sewer construction^ contractors much money has been saved the city: or rather for the same amount of money they have been able to secure a much greater amount ot sewer construction than would na'e been the case if the work had been done by day labor. 1 i. fe. t SESSION Of Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools.
