Will Be Turned Into Upper Waters of Penobscot. The Largest Number of Fry Ever Put Out. Bangor, Me., May 2.—Between now ami tile fii st of July it is expected that over two and a half millions of Atlan tic salmon will be turned into the upper waters fcf the Penobscot by the United States Fish commission, which greatly exceeds the number put into the river in any of the years proceeding. Charles r>. Atkins, in charge of the United States fish hati hery at Craig brook, Must Orlund, was in Bangor, Sunday, on his return from the branch hatchery on the Fast brum h, at Little Spring brook. Mr. Atkins says that the work at the Little Spring brook hatch ery is progressing finely this season and it now looks as if it would be far more successful than in any preceding year. Last fall the United States Fish com mission built a branch of the Craig liriHik hatchery on Little Spring brook, 1J miles from Staceyvillo for the par pose of bettor handling the fish which ate annually put Into the East branch. There are now 2,700,000 Atlantic salmon eggs In the branch which are rapidly hatching and from which it is expected that fully 2,000,1*00 small salmon will be hutched. All of these 2,070.000 salmon will bo turned into the river at that point and the various streams which can be en tered as soon as they hatch and are ready to feed. This is by far the largest number of fish that has been placed in the river at any one time. The hate hery at Little Spring brook is expected to prove of great benefit to the East branch fishing. In former j years the fry have been taken, when at the hatchery at chuig brook, carried to Itucksport by team and thence in a car of the fish commission to Grind stone and placed in the river there. The process now is to take the eggs from Craig brook in the winter time, which is less hazardous to the life of the fish and hatch them at the branch station, which is far less work. •‘if wo had to transport them this year from Craig brook it would lceco a car going constancy for a mouth” said Mr. Atkins, which shows that the number is greatly increased this year. The hatchery at Little Spring brook enables the fry to be placed in better positions in ib“ river. Formerly, it was impossible to lak»- the fry above Grind stone to pi i tha n in the water. The breeding and feeding grounds of the salmon, the place where the fish would naturally glow up is several miles above Grindstone and for that reason the officials think that the hatchery at Little Spring, being on the natural feeding grounds, will prove far more successful for the amount of work clone. As soon as the fish are large enough to begin l'ecding they are turned into the water and allowed to feed them selves in places v here they have found tkemsGvcs had they been hatched in the river. At ibis stage, when they aw several weeks old, they are slightly over an inch in length. At Craig Brook hatchery tlm officia's are handling a large number of Atlantic salmon and brook trout of which a large nart arc nearly hatched out and ready to bo distribute*]. There are at pr sent 0.50. non trout and 330,000 salmon at the hatchery. These tish will be distributed in a few weeks tinder the direction of the fish commission. Mr. Atkins said he did not know where the distribution would be made, this year, the papers not yet bring received from the department at Washington. It is likely, however. ttw*t they w ill be distributed as in former years, some even being carried out of the State. SPREADING OF RAILS. Passenger Train Leaves Track on Bos ton Maine. SprinRvalo, Me.. May 2.—The passenger train on the Boston and Maine railroad due here from Portland at 1.35 o’clock, this afternoon, left the track near Shaker pond owing to the spreading of the rails.

CAPITAL CHAT. New Order for Rural Free Delivery Carriers. Shall Not Solicit Any Business or Receive Orders. Both the Maine Senators Are Still in Washington. Washington, D. C„ May 2.—(Special). At the beginnii g of the new fiscal year;' July 1, next, an entirely new order tf things as to rural free delivery c.irrltrt will go into operation. After a mem orable light in Senate and House as to what the rights of these rural carriers should be in carrying newspj.pers arid packages, the confcrcees agreed upon a provision, which has become a law on the postofTkc appropriation bill. That law, however, does not go into effect till tile new fiscal year begins and all the appropriations made therein for ih>» maintenance of the postal service be come available. The language of the new law reads: "And on and after said date (July 1) raid carriers shall not solicit business cr receive orders of any kind for any person, firm, or corporation, and shall not, during their hours of employment, carry any merchandise for hire: pro vide! that said carriers may carry mer chandise for hire and upon the request of patrons residing upon their respec tive mutes, whenever llm same shall not interfere ith tile proper discharge of their official duties, and under such regulations a.s tIre Postmaster General may t reat ribe." Another provision in the same law reads: “On and after July 1, 190;. letter carriers of the rural free delivery service shall receive a salary of not ex ceeding S7d0 per annum, and no further allowance or salary shall be made to said carriers.” fourth Assistant Post master General iris tow, under where bureau the rural carrieis come and who will have the actual supervision of the enforcem ?nt of the now law, said today that it met with his entire approval and. in the course of a few weeks Mr. Bristow sai l lie should draw up regulations fuiiy specifying how the now law should be interpreted in so fir as ;t lodges discretion in llie Department. "The maximum salary to be paid rural arrives will be *7-0 a year," said Sir. Bristow. -n:;t will be for carriers who have lhe longest routes. As I look at the matter now, I shall favor fixing the standard rural delivery route at a cer tain number of miles. I can not say. off hand, what the length of the stan dard route will he, but it will be made the basis for cal uvting the salaries of rural carriers. Where the length of routes excel the standard route, we shall probably arrange a scale for high er compensation." Mr. Bristow saw? that carriers will l>e strictly pronihiVd from ae.'ing as agents for any newspapers or business firms. It is hia idea, however, 10 per mit carriers to bring packages and merchandise from fawn, whenever a farmer or patron 'eng the line re quests this lo lie done, but the termer must lay the carries for the Forvico, according as tlv> matter may lie ar ranged between them. The postoffice department must necessarily fix a penalty for the viola tion of this law and also for the viola lion of whatever regulations the de partment sees fit to make within the discretion placed in the postmaster gen eral by the law. What these penalties will be Mr. Bristow Is now unable to say. They will be fixed with a view to the strict and impartial execution of the law and the regulations. As it is t"n months yet before the new law goes into operation, it may be three or four weeks and more, before the new regulations are formulated. The Civil Service Commission gives notice that an examination for clerks and carriers will be held at Gardiner. Me.. May 14. The age limit will be for all positions between IS and 45 years. The subjects and the weights given in the examination are: spelling copying from plain copy, geography of the United States, and reading addresses, ten points each: arithmetic, letter writ ing and penmanship. 20 points each. The comptroller of the Currency has Riven notice of his approval of the First National Bank, of Boston, as a J reserve agent for the First National Bank, of \ugusta, Maine. Doth tho Maine Senators are still in town and will probably remain here all j of this week. Senator Hale has been to the Capitol almost daily, having some business there still to rlose out. He has been giving ciose attention to the preparations for erecting a new office building for the Senate, which was au thorized by Congress on the General Defii iency Hill. During tho long debate on the erection of that office building Mr. Hale had a leading part and he is interested now in the incorporation in tiie structure of ?rtain features for the accommodation of the public, as well as Senators. Mr. Hale was the first to suggest that such an office building ought to have an audience room, of sufficient proportions. That the public could generally be admitted wh«n bearings of general interest were to be held. At present there is no such room about the Capitol and most of the com mittee rooms are of such small dimen sions that but few spectators can be admitted. Mr. Hale believes that at many of those hearings the general public has a right to be present and that the Senate ought to provide ac commodations. The hearing of the case of Senator Smoot Is a recent illus tration. Outside of the newspaper correspondents and witnessed, there has not been room for more than 25 (Continued on page 3.) MAY STRIKES. Boston Bakers’ Strike Principal New England Trouble. Bread Makers in Other Massachusetts Cities Won’t Work. Other Branches of Trades More or Less Affected. Boston, May 2.—The principal difli culty to occur on May day In New Engl md wns the strike of about 1500 bakers in this city and nearby places, including Cambridge, Lynn, Salem, Brockton, Ablngton, Rockland, Stough ton, North Easton. Weymouth, South Weymouth and Bridgewater. The strike was caused by the refusal of the master bakers to fign a now schedule calling for a CO-hour week and JIG a week for second hands and SIS for foremen. The larger hotels and res taurants are not affected.by the diffi culty. It was estimated, today, that the num ber nf bakers on stilke in tills city was about 1000. During the day several small er concerns signed the new wage agree ment, whereupon the men who had left these establishments returned to their places. The firms chlcdy affected by tfu strike are those of J. O. 15. S. Fergu son, who conduct large bakeries where 4.70 bakers and assistants went out. and the George G. Fox Co. of Charlestown and Chelsea, where 300 employes struck. Although the bread output will be ma terially decreased by the strike. It is not expected that the conditions will in any way approach a famine. Among other troubles are those caused by the demand of 400 carpen ters in Springfield and Chicopee for an increase of 50 cents a day. There were minor strikes m the building trades in other places, but in New England as a whole the number of men in voluntary idleness is smaller this year than usual. AT PORTLAND. Millmen Arc Not Out on Strike, Con trary Reports Notwithstanding. Portland, Me., May 2.—The mlllnien of Portland did r.ot fro on strike in a body on Monday morning as it was thought they might when the demands made by them on the proprietors of the mills were refused Saturday. As far as could be learned, and every big shop in the city was communicated with, only one man did not show up Monday morning. Ho war, an employe of the McDonald Mfg. Co., and got through Saturday night. Smith Ilumery reported everything in their shops quiet and going as usual. The mill was running the customary ten hours and the men showed no signs ot dissatisfaction. At the mills of S. H. A. It. Doten machines were running and all was hustle and bustle. Full crews were re ported with every man working the usual ten hours a day. The McDonald Mfg. Co. reported that or.e man quit, Saturday night, but that another man would -h hired in his •place. AH work was being done as us ual on,)i ten-hour scale. At the mills of Jerome Ilumery fc Co., where ten men are employed, there were no signs of dissatisfaction, tor this establishment has run for a num ber of years on the nine-hour scale and so would not have been affected one way or another by the demand for shorter hours. The men at Porter P.urnham's were another satisfied lot for they were working nine hours as they have since this concern lias been established. The Delano planing mill repotted everything being as usual, the men seeming satisfied and working ten hours and work being rushed to com pletion. 0 AT SK0WHE3AN Strike of Weavers at Marston Worsted Mills. Skowhegan, Mo.. May 2.—Because of dissatisfaction growing out of differences of opinion between the management and employes. lfiO weavers nt the Mars ton Worsted Mills struck, today.

Outline of Operations on the Yalu the Past Week. Russians Abandon Antung, Which Is a Strategic Point. i Tokio. May 2.—Noon.—Vice Admiral Kamumura, who is in command of the Japanese squadron which has been op erating recently against Vladivostok, has sent in a report from Gensan, Co rea. dated, Sunday, in which he says that the impenetrable fog twice forced the abandonment of the attack on Vladivostok and twice spared the Kus sian squadron a sea fight. I While Kamimura was steaming north I the first time, he passed the Russian i squadron bound south on the road to Gensan which resulted in the sinking of a Japanese merchant steamer Goyo i Maru and the transport Kinshu Maru. The Japanese and the Russian sqund rons must have passed very close to each other, for the Japanese were con scious of the presence of the enemy. When Kamimura was compelled to suspend his attack upon Vladivostok he moved to the southward and again passed the Russians on their way nortli after the Gensan raid. As soon as Kamimura returned to the Corean coast he learned that the Kln I shiu was missing and immediately re i turned to the north to search and pur sue it. lie found three boats belonging j to the Kinshiu Maru floating at sea. H* then detached some cruisers from his I squadron and ordered a search of ccr tain inlets in the vicinity of Nanlwa. These vessels discovered some Russian min^s-at Izumi. The Japanese cruisers exploded the mines. I Vice Admiral Kamimura closes his report by saying that the continuance 1 of the fog since Thursday, has prevent I ed a renewal of the attack. lyomlf'n. May 3.—Th'* latest despatch es received here confirming the com pleteness of the Japanese victory on the Yahi coiild hardly have given greater satisfaction in Tokto than they have done In London. The editorials in the morning papers ring with admira tion at the success of Gen. Kurokl's strategy in a mnnner indicating that Great Britain had been In consider able doubt of the capacity cf her ally's troops when matched against the Rus sians and. despite the lack by Japan of good cavalry to follow up her vic tory, it is believed she will speedily drive the Russians out of Feng Huan Cheng also. Few further details have yet been received, but it seems that the Japan ese imperial guards fought with con spicuous brhvery and sustained the brunt of the fighting, losing heavily. Some accounts speak cf bayonet charges. It is evident that the Japanese suc cess Is largely due to the superiority of their artillery, the Russian guns being too light. The Japanese victory has caused complete surprise in the Kuropeau capitals and it is expected to lead to difUcnlty in Russia's effort to raise a loan. (Continued on paga 2.)

POSTAL CASES. Tyner and Barrett on Trial at Washington. Charged With a Conspiracy to De fraud the Government. Trial Will Proceed Without Cen. Tyner's Presence. Washington. May 2,-The second of the pORtofftee cases to be taken up here was begun, today^ when James N. Tyner and,, Harrison J. Barrett were placed on trial under an indictment charging them with conspiracy to de fraud the government in connection of their alleged plot to prosecute certain investment companies operated, in vain of the law. For several years Tyner, held the of fice of assistant attorney general of the postotflce department while Barrett, who is his nephew, served In the same office. The work of securing a Jury had tie gun when the discovery was made that neither of the defendants had been ar raigned. Barrett was in court hut the vener able former postmaster general now in his "ftli year was not present, his coun sel having waived all formalities until the jury had been completed, to save his strength. Owing to the feeble health of Jeneral Tyner, it was announced that it would take several hours to get him into court. Justice Pritchard thereupon directed a recess. When court met for the afternoon session Oen. Tyner was brought in in an invalid's chair. He was accompanied by his wife, an attendant and his phy sician, the latter’s presence being deemed necessary because of the fear that tht aged defendant might col lapse under the strain. Counsel for the defense waived the reading of the indictment and the two men pleaded not guilty. The work of completing the jury then was resumed. With three challenges left to eaake Torprdo Boat Co. Tile Japanese officers were in this city about live hours, arriving from New York on the Wiekford boat and returned by the Fall River I.ine. tonight. It is un derstood that they will leave New York, tomorrow, for tin- Pacific coast and sail for Yokohama on May 13. Up hi tln ir arrival here they were nn-t at tile wli irf by Presidi nt Simeon Bake of the Bike Tor|tedo Boat Co., with whom thev were afterwards in conversation for some time at a hotel. Neither registered and both refused to lie interviewed. Pres ident Bike declined to say whether the v^pi* resulted in the sale of the boat. From th to Saturday night they had found a shortage of $1300, >t is alleged, and they are not through with their exami nation yet. and the belief in Union is that this amount will be increased.

Prayer That President May Be Re turned to White House. Ohlrmro, May 2.—A prayer that President Roosevelt might be returned to the White House caused an unus ual demonstration, today, during the opening exorcises of the 22d quadren nial oMiforenee of the African Metho dist Kptseopal church. The utterance was ttie occasion of deafening shouts by the assembled delegates. Delegates from Africa were the cen ter of interest at the convention. A formal program, including a march of the bishops and delegates, preceded the organization of the conference. A remarkable phenomenon is re ported ftom the Russian rural com mune of Schava, in the government of Kzarelf Koksaka. Inexplicable sounds were heard for several days issuing from the earth. The sounds varied from something like the booming of cannon to the screeching of steam whis tles. and seemed to coine from a forest skirting the commune. In 'this forest, where the terrified peasantry gathered in expectation of some calamity, the earth was seen to heave incessantly. Gradually huge cracks appeared an I water was seen. At last the earth seemed gardualiy to sink, water rose and there api>eared a new lake of co.l I siderable extent, which is now being (examined by geologists. SUICIDE. London Bishop Specks on Fall in BirtK Rate. I .on ilon, May 2.—The most recent sta istics in regard to the birth rate promoted ttfe bishop of Rtpon to make a strong speech last Tuesday on the subject of childless marriages. The bis hop denounced the fashionable mar raigees where the duties of life were shirked and marriage made a mockery as being more terrible than irregular alliances unsanctioned by the church. He pointed out that the whole 'pf so ciety was affected, for the birth rate in every European country was declining. The bishop's outspoken address has started a widespread controversy in which the most divergent views are ex pressed. Henry James, who is now in England, writes that the falling off in the birth rate shows the people are be ginning to think for themselves. It is the ultimate t.[r'i osltion. They had a considerable sum of money between them. When they anived here Jacob decided to remain in this city* while Samuel went to St. Louis to complete arrangements for the exhibit.

Cannon inti mately. r.s they had been associated t.«. uetli-r in business. He said that Ab rahaih had three wives at the time of his death in the family, but there was another v ife he knew about. "Did you know Abraham to associate with a woman called Lillian Hamlin?” asked Mr. Taylor. "I know he look her riding. lie used rny buggy." ••Did you know he was engaged to her'” "He did not say anything about that.” "1)1(1 you t'll C. W. Wilson of Salt j.ak*- that you saw Abraham H. Can non md Lilli m Hamlin married?” "I think I did tell him.” The witmss stated that Wilson is le chartered a vessel and that in the party in addition to himself were Joseph Smith and one of his wives. Abraham H. Cannon ana his wife Wil helipin.i, sister of the witness; a malt named Langford and Lillian Hamlin. After the boat had gone some dis tance from Los Angeles, tile members ef the party with two or three excep tions retired to '.he cabin and there Jo seph F. Smith married Cannon and Lillian Hamlin. The witness under direct (xa mi na tion said that later in the day cn which h° told the story to Wilson, he met Mr. Mitchelow and Mr. Wilson and he re heated substantially the same story. Mr. Tayler drew from the witness the fact that he also told it to Perry Heath "Are you till satisfied that Smith mar ried them?" asked Senator Dubois. "Of course I do not know that he mar ried them, hut I think that he did,” was the answer. Senator Dulwus—“Were you with Abra ham H.

Plenty of Gossip About This Proposed System. Dover. Me.. May 2.—(Special).—Or.e of tiro rliief topics of conversation among the people of this part of Pis cataquis county is in relation to the proposed ne welectric railroad to Seboc lake. Practically the whole thing, whether it will be a reality or not, hangs on the action taken at the meeting of the Dover and Foxcroft Water District which will take place in Mayo's hall. Dover, tins evening, at 7 o’clock. One of the questions to be decided at this meeting is to see if the water district will vote to lease the surplus power on its land and dam for power to the Sebe'- Dake Railway Do. Another article is to see if the Dover and Foxcroft Water District will vote to appoint a committee to execute in its behalf a contract with the Sehec Lake Railway Co. for lease of sta ll power and land. Just what the water people will do in this matter has been a question in the minds of many since it was an nounced that the railway company was depending on this power to run its cars, should the road be put in. There are many people who at the present time think that the chance of having an electric road from Foxcroft to So bee lake is very slim. One of the rea sons given for their belief is that there ts practically nothing at the lake for .in electric road. By this they mean that the Iamb ?r which is claimed to lie there is a myth, while the passenger travel which the company would get would not pay for the power used. An other reason given is that it is very doubtful if the Water District people will vote to make any arrangements with the railway people, and their be lief in this line is not unfounded by any means, owing to the action taken by this corporation in some other mat ters pertiir.ing to the good of both towns. It is thought that if some other road should come into the twin towns, say from Bangor, the proposition would possibly be a paying ore on account of the excursion travel which would undoubtedly come up this way. especi ally during the summer months, but the average Dover man cannot see what would keep the cars In operation during the winter months. The action of the Water District is awaited with a good deal of interest throughout this part of the State. The Canadian Improvement Co., of Philadelphia, which is financing the re organisation of the Consolidated Lake Superior Co., has been granted an ex tension on its option, which would have expired, today, in order that all the creditors of the Consolidated Lake Superior Co may have another oppor tunity to transfer their interests to the Canadian Co.

MINISTER TURNS GAMBLER. Says He Will Now Begin Life Over Again. Butte, Mont., May 2.—Unable to earn enough money to support his wife and two children in his chosen profession, the Rev. Dr. C. E. Henderson, a Meth odist minister, turned gambler and was more fortunate with the fickle goddess. Dr. Henderson, with his family, have started for California to “start life over again,” as he says. The preacher lost his church in Salt Duke City more than a year ago be cause of his age and moved to this place. Here he was unable to get a pulpit and he was forced to take any kind of work he could obtain. He did odd jobs in the kitchens of all the Butte hotels, washed dishes and peddled, but the money he received was not suffi cient to support the three dependent upon him. He went to the employment office. Saturday, where, for over a year he had been a steady caller. He was so changed that it was with difficulty that he was recognized. His appear ance was exactly opposite of what it was 10 days ago. “I am going away from here,” said Dr. Henderson. "1 turned gambler for a short time and have won enough money to take us all to California. I was desperates a few days ago and I took the last dollar I had into a gam bling establishment, where there was a roulette game. I put it on the red and it won. I left it there and again I won. Then I tried the others and did not fail to win with any combination. “It seemed that I could not lose, and when I quit playing I had $1500 to start life over again. It might have been wrong, but I don’t think it was. God must have put it into my head to try roulette as the last resort after my ef forts in every other direction had failed.” FAVORITE FINISHES LAST. Edward Wins the Kentucky Derby .->t Louisville.

Jo seph Webb, has been asphyxiated and many other occupants of a three-story building in Halstead street have been injured and narrowly escaped death in a fire which swept through the place and cut off escape by the stairways both in the front and the rear. Only the prompt work of the firemen saved the lives of tile other tenants who were asleep when the fire started. In the work of rescue two firemen and one policeman were injured. The fire, which did damage of only a few thousand dollars, spread so rap idly that the occupants of the place were hemmed in by the flames before they could be aroused. NEW METHOD.

Aerial Voyager Travels But Five Mi’es in California. San Franveisco, May 2.—Dr. Greth started to make a trip of 50 miles to San Jose in his air ship, today, but, af ter travelling about five miles some slight disarrangement of the machin eiy was discovered and the aerial voy ager landed safely. Dr. Greth was accompanied by En gineer Frederick Belcher. He was sat isfied with the results of his experimen tal flight because he accomplished a good deal morp than on former occa sions and concluded that he was work ing in the right direction. He ascended at 8.10 A. M., with the car attached to a rope to prevent doing damage to houses. When the rope was east off Dr. Greth made a circular figure about a quarter of a mile in circumference and started for the south at high speed. Everything went well until the air ship arrived off Blanscn's six-mile house in the San Bruno road. It was then going rapidly toward San Jose, but a small valve suddenly gave way, causing the airship to stop. After the inventor and the engineer hud tried to repair the break, the fans were started and the ship descended. Witnesses of the descent said that the airship came down gradually and touched the ground gently. Nothing was injured either in the car or about the gas bag. Dr. Greth said that what broke could not be repaired without certain tools and he deemed it expedient to descend. The fans and the rudder are to be en larged. CHESS TOURNAMENT.

DISMANTLED VESSEL Sighted, Last Night, Off the Coast of Massachusetts. Catham, Mass., May 2.—A dismasted vessel, evidently either a ship or banc, was sighted shortly after 6 o'clock, to night, 10 miles east by north of the Or leans life saving station proceeding slowly north under jury rig. The tug Underwriter, which has been laying off here trying to Iloat the schooner Fu ture, left for the disabled vessel and it is believed reached her about dark. She will probably be towed to Boston. The vessel was sighted by the out look of the Orleans life saving station at 15 minutes past 6 o'clock. Captain Charles at that station, stated that in his opinion the vessel was a hark of about S00 or 1000 tons burden. The mis* zen mast was standing, but only the stumps of the fore and main mast could be seen. The vessel had a temporary sail rigged forward of the inizzen mast and the spanker was also set. Captain Charles at once telephoned to Captain Doane of the Old Harbor station and word was sent out to the Underwriter anchored about a half mile off shore. The Underwriter left imme diately and at dark was within a short distance of the vessel. The only square rigged vessel due in Boston abouL this time is the Norwegi an bark Barossa, which sailed from Melbourne, Jan. 2. LAY IN STATE. Throngs of People View Body of D:aa Priest. St. John. N. B„ May 2.—Throngs of people, tonight, viewed the body of Iiev. T. C. McGoldriek, late of St. Leo's church of Boston. Mass., as to lay in state in St. Peter's church. Robed as if for celebration of mass, his fingers clasping a gold chalice, the dead priest rested at the foot of the altar where in boyhood days he was wont to hear mass. Accompanying the body here from Boston were the Rev, Michael H. Geary of St. Leo's, Dorchester, and Rev. F. J. Holloran of St. Peters, Dor chester. besides relatives.

Cambridge, Mass., May 2.—It was learned, tonight, that an act of van dalism was perpetrated at Harvard College. Friday night, when Sever hall, one of the largest buildings in the col lege yards, was broken into, and ocks, doors and glass were broken. Every gas jet in the building was I opened and the illuminating gas es caped all night, completely filling the building. The vandalism was discov ered. Saturday morning, when the janitor opened the hall. Inasmuch as a fire was kept burn ing in the building throughout the night, it is considered remarkable that the building was not wrecked by an explosion of gas. There is no clue to the identity of the vandals. The average family in the United States has four and seven-tenths persona. j MAY STRIKES. (Continued from page 1.) on the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe rail road were reported on strike up to S o'clock, this afternoon. When the whole fighting is strength is brought out, em bracing not only the machinists but the Allied Metal Mechanics’ Association, boil er makers, blacksmiths, copper workers, helpers, etc., as well, the total number in volved, according to President O'Connell of the Machinists’ Union, may approxi mate between 10,(100 and 12,000 men. The strike was ordered on Instructions from headquarters here after the men along the line had voted unanimously in favor of the step. A telegram, today, from John Mulholland of Toledo, nation al president of the Allied Metal Mechan ics, announced that he has ordered his men to co-operate with the machinists, which means a sympathetic strike from that quarter, embracing probably about 1000 men engaged in semi-skilled labor in the Santa Fe shops. Mr. O'Connell says that the machinists are out all along the Santa Fe from Chicago to San Francisco and on its feeder lines, 800 of those being now specifically reported out. The allied mechanics, the boilermakers, etc., in practically all the shops west of Albuquerque are ulso reported out. Mr. O'Connell said, tonight, that the men were prepared to continue the strike indefinite ly, that they were asking only the same working agreement now in operation on other railroads and a discontinuance of the spotter and detective system which he said is carried on by the company "to a shameless degree." "The system," he said, "is honeycombed with detectives and the men are watched the moment they leave the shops and marked, blacklisted and discriminated against If they protest their right to do as they please. "We will not tolerate interference. Oth er railroads must keep their hands off in this strike. The challenge has been thrown by the company defying us to a test of strength. We have done every thing possible to avoid trouble. The com pany has been hiring men all along the line and over the country and herding them in camps along the line, slipping them into the shops and letting our men go. It is a question of self-preservation. "The men have been given strict warn ing against violence. When members in intense anxiety enter into an encounter with a man in his place does so without the advice or instruction of headquarters and makes himself liable to suspension and expulsion. We propose to carry on the strike within the law. Members have been warned that they must not be a par ty to violence of any kind, but they have a right to make their grievances known to anyone employed to take their place, but to that extent only.” TWO STRIKES. Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Adds to Already Large List. Woonsocket. R. I„ May 2.—Two strikes of minor importance began in this city. Monday, a total of about no men going out.

The training school In courtship, which Is one of the institutions in the Salvation Army, has no counterpart In any other organization in the world. Indeed, It is so far removed from the ordinary that it Is entitled to be des cribed with that much abused and mis used adjective “unique.” There am three training Bchools in this country— Now York, Chicago and San Francisco —and lovemaking is conducted by. rule and regulation. Courtship is carried on in accordance with prescribed dis cipline. No barred windows and tink ling guitars, as In Spain, for Salvation Army lovers. No clandestine meetings, and no rope ladders, with fleet horses waiting at the lower rung, while Romeo carries his Juliet from. her prison bed-chamber.

Haverhill is to have a new grand stand. It cost Portland, Ore., $1,500 to buy Castro from Hanlon. Homer Hilderbrand is playing in left field for Sun Francisco. Catcher Bill Clarke will get his re lease from Washington. They won’t pay him $2400. Gene DeMontreville has replaced Dick l’adden at second for St. Louis and the Washington boy is doing nice ly. Sam Bernard of the Lawrence club has been released. Here Is a chance for some club to corral a first-class second baseman. Two wagers have been laid here on the Pittsburg to land tlie pennant—$50 even and $S0 against $100. It looks like easy money for the other end. Cleveland has sold Pitcher Curtiss to Milwaukee. This is the young man who pitched himself into fame as ti member of the Ft. Wayne club, last season. Jack Carr has evidently dropped into a good berth with the Indianapolis team, as the Hoosiers are going along at a fast clip and he is doing his share of brilliant playing. Charlie Farrell is feared by the base stealers in the American league. In four games he has not had a chance to put a man out trying to steal. He has not had an assist in the four games caught. Jones, the Brooklyn pitcher. has won three out of four games—two from Philadelphia and one from Nftr York. He is the only Brooklyn pitcher that has stolen a b>'- nut in his four games h*- has doe« gwsl far a total of 23 bases. He has smmk tvo doubles, three triples and two bom runs. He would fit in handy in many an outfield, for he can break up a game when least expected w ith his long drives. It is not the real fans that howl when a player makes an error. It is thq cheaper and more undesirable set of baseball patrons who go to the park with a few dollars in their pockets, bet it with another of their own class, and then get sore when the visiting team gets in the lead. It's a pity that these can't be chained at home while games are being played. Chief Zimmer has made quite a hit as an umpire in the Kast. In a letter »o the sporting editor of The Dispatch and Chief says: “I like my new work very much and enjoy it more and more every day. I believe I am giving sat isfaction. for thus far every one—spec tators and players—have accorded me the most courteous treatment.” Detroit and St. Louis in the Ameri cfn League have established a new record. Thus far these teams have met six times this season. Three times, they have played 12 innings, two of these extra chapter arguments result ing in dead heals. 4 to 4 each time. Iti the other 12-inning affair Detroit won 4 to 3. Philadelphia newspapers are now running half-page portraits of Rube Waddell and are proclaiming him the greatest pitcher that ever traversed the boulevard. One of these days they will wake up to find that Rube has skipped the town In order to tie up with some out of the way amateur combination. Just r ow the Butler wonder is certainly the warmest thing in the Quaker City. Turner, the new recruit at short for Cleveland, is playing a much faster game than did Goehnaur. He is field ing more accurately and is hitting the ball all over the lot. He has batted better than the majority of the Blue birds and in his six games has batted for .r>00. He has hit safely in every game so far and in the six games got twelve safe ones scored to his credit. Don't fret, dear rooter. There is something back of this. The Pirates are simply trying a new plan to put the other teams to the bad. The scheme Is to make them run around the bases so often early in the season that they will wear themselves out and be in no con dition to keep up with the pace the Pittsburgs will set later on.—Pittsburg Dispatch. The Philadelphia National League club has made a couple of deals by whirh Jack Doyle has been secured from the Brooklyn club to play first base, and Billy Lauder, the third base man, has been purchased from the New York club. The Quakers have needed a first baseman badly, and as Hanlon now has Dillon to play first for his team. Doyle will be of more value In Philadelphia, louder has not played ball this season. He did not sign a contract. He played his first profes sional ball in Philadelphia. The unconditional release from res ervation that was granted Pat Dono van from the St. Louis National League Club by the National Commission brought to light the fact that at various times in the past the St. Louis manage ment had tried to sell the player to the Cincinnati and Chicago clubs. As soon as Charlie Nichols was signed to man ege the Cardinals President Robison of the St. Louis club placed Donovan on the market. Both Cincinnati and Chi cago were asked to bid for him, and for a time both clubs were seriously think ing of taking him. Then the question of salary arose, and the fact that things had not been harmonious on the St. Louis team with Donovan, and in the end both clubs declined the offer of St. Louis with thanks. GARDINER. The regular meeting of Heath Relief Corps will be held, this evening, in Grand Army hall. Dr. and Mrs. AV. P.

The funeral of the late Benjamin Clarke will be held at 1 o’clock, this afternoon at the residence In Randolph. Rev. C. W. Lowell, pastor of the Ran dolph Methodist church, will conduct the service. A rather unusual sight was witness ed, Monday forenoon, from the Gardi ner and Randolph bridge when two small steamers, the “Sally” and the “Anodyne” made an ineffectual attempt to tow a skow loaded with brick through the draw. The draw was open on their signal and the two boats went through it all right but the current was too much for them and in spite of their best efforts t:=e loaded skow could not be drawn throug it and the tow lines were necessarily loosened and the skow drifted away from the bridge. V delay to traffic across the bridge of some 20 minutes was occasioned by the draw being open and a long string of teams stretched from both.ends of the bridge. Before the jam was freed a freight train backed over the crossing and caused another delay to teams. CITY GOVERNMENT. Business Transacted at May Meeting. Monday Evening. The regular monthly meeting of the i Ity government for May was callod to order. The licensing board was then con vened, to pass up the applications in hind, covering various kinds of mer chandise sold, particularly on Sunday, together with billiard halls, and a bowling alley. The board is composed of tbe mayor, city clerk, treasurer and six aldermen. The question excited much interest anc some pertinent discussion. It seems that some years ago a party c arrying on a fruit and confectionery store, wished to remain open on Sun day. and after muc h hesitation on the part of the authorities, was permitted to do so, to the horror of some people. About this time the small lunch rooms commenced to appear, and as they were actually victuallers, licenses were granted them. The opponents of this measure then claimed that the fruit store was not entitled to a license bccaite? it fur nished no food, and a compromise was mad> by the proprietor putting in a gas stove, a baker's pie and a plate of pastry, cake and turnovers. This was some years ago, and wa doubt if even a prospective customer, having appraised the stock with hun gry eyes, ever purchased, but turned away as he properly should and did oenance to his stomach by attending c hureh. So from time to time those with or anges and caramels, soda fountains and cigarettes on sale, joggled their doors a bit on the morning of the first day of the week, until many wide open doors stared the church-goer in the face, while bells pealed out their in vitation to service. Hence the action, Monday night, of the board. Schlosberg, fruit, candy and soda, Miller, fruit, candy and soda. Snow, fruit, candy and soda, and Brown, gro ceries, were refused licenses, while Shapiro, Footer, Hamilton, Powers. James and Goodrich were granted free licenses. M. McDonald and Henry R. Sawyer can run billiard rooms, and H. E. Ar ’nold a bowling alley, for one year. M. A. Harraden and W. O. Preble were made auctioneers, and John J. M.irston reappointed liquor agent. This business dispatched and the special board adjourned, the regular business was taken up and bills from ihe several departments having been O K’d l>y the auditor and committee. were ordered paid by the treasurer, to the amount of $421>5.9S in the following detail: O. and P. schools, Police, Public library.

That the expenses of maintaining the clock on the Methodist church and own ed by private parties, now run on local time, be assumed by the city, with the Idea, of course, of placing It on standard time in harmony with the city clock. The mayor and treasurer were author ized to hire $10,000 to use proceeding col lection of current taxes. The sum of $300 wfts appropriated to pay H. R. Sawyer damages for land taken for a new street In South Gardiner. The monthly report of the collector was accepted. The invitation from Heath Post, G. A.

He was an unusually active boy till at the age of 13 he met with an accident whii h made him a cripple for life and which was probably Ihf remote cause "f his death.

Letters have been found which he wrote but did not send to two of his brothers, six weeks ago while in a New York hospital telling them that he had un dergone a surgical operation and might be obliged to have his leg amputated, but begging them not to tell their mother. He arrived in Augusta. Thurs day, April -1, remained at Hotel North till April 23. when he was taken to his home in an ambulance, where every thing possible was done for him, but he died, April 25.

"I have never touched coffee since and the result has been that I have been entirely cured of all my stomach and nervous trouble. “My mother was just the same way, we all drink Postum now and have never had any other coffee in the house for two rears and we are all well. “A neighbor of mine, a' great coffee drinker, was troubled with pains in her side lor years and was an in valid. She was not able to do her work and could not even mend her clothes or do anything at all where she would have to bend forward. If she tried to do a little hard work she would got such pains that she would have to lie down fot the rest of the day. •'I persuaded her at last to stop drinking coffee and try Postum Food Coffee and she did so and she has used Postum ever since; the result has been that she can now do her work, can sft for a whole day and mend and can sew on the machine and she never feels the least bit of pain in her side. In fact she has got well and it shows coffee was the cause of the whole trouble. ••I could also tell you about several other neighbors who have been cured by quitting coffee and using Postum In its place.” Name given by Postum Co..

At .'i recent conference of the Metho dists of the state of New York, a large element, which, however, proved to be in the minority, attempted to have the gathering declare itself in favor of go ing back to the old plan of setting a limit to the number of years which a minister should spend in the work of any one church. In many of the states, including our own, such a time limit to pastors is still maintained by the Meth odists, but a few years it was abolished in New York, and this attempt to re turn to it shews that the change has not been universally satisfactory in that great religious body. A century ago it was a rule with (he church that every Methodist minister should move every year. Gradually this limit of service was raised by various confer ences, and in 1SS8 the New York confer ence fixed the limit there as five years. In 1900 that conference abolished the time limit, and has now refused by a substantial majority to make it once more a regulation of the church. The reason for itineracy, as this sys tem of frequent changes is called, was that it added to the zeal of both the pastor and his flock, and kept them from falling into ruts, but in most places It was soon discovered that such frequent changes kept things stirred up too much and discouraged efficient and continuous work by pastors, who were forced to move on as soon as they had realty begun to be of some service in tlieir new field. Therefore the time limit was gradually extended until in some states, as in New York, it was al together abolished. The return to it would seem to be a step backward. A press dipping bureau in New York gathered over 8000 obituaries of the late Senator Hanna and in the case of other famous men has frequently collected hundreds of sketches and stories con cerning the deceased which were mounted in a handsomely bound volume and sold to the family at a large price. The unique thing about this clipping bureau business is that the enterprising management asks newspaper publishers to contribute their papers free of charge. As these newspapers constitute the bureau's en tire stock in trade and the goods are soi l at a handsome figure, the request is about the limit of assurance and nerve. It is much as though the retail merchant asked the manufacturer or wholesaler to make him a present of a stock of goods. The managers of these clipping bureaus must imagine that newspaper publishers are in business for glory only. Of course, the publish ers like glory and strive for it as th" main end and aim of existence, but in cidentally most of them like to have enough money to pay their bills. -The people of southeastern Maine are justified in being alarmed at the ap pearance of the much dreaded brown tail moth which has raised such havoc In Massachusetts and caused that state the expenditure of vast sums of money to protect and preserve its trees. The authorities are justified in taking prompt measures and there, oan seem no doubt that' they will be ^backed up financially. A few dollars used at this time will save hundreds and thousands Incidentally the opening of the position gave the poetry business area it boom. The Expenditure* of Congress. By an analysis of the figures, the Philadelphia Press causes a total col lapse of the Democratic attempt to make any political capital out of the appropriation bill of the session of Congress which closed, last week. The aggregate of the appropriations for the ses sion was $28,000,000 greater than th^t for the short session. But $16,000,000 of that amount was for the navy, and will be money well expended. It is wholly for the benefit of the nation, not a dollar of which can be expended for a sectional or partisan purpose. Tak ing up the various items, the Press shows that for the postoffice depart ment there wjts ar> increase of $8,000,000, but that comes back in the enlarged revenues of the department. Besides, the Democrats were anxious for the ad ditional appropriation for the rural free delivery service. An appropriation of $.',,000,000 was made for an increase in the bank note redemption fund, which is r.ot an expenditure by the govern ment. There was a loan of $4,600,000 to the St. Louis exposition, which was supported by the Democrats. Those items make up a total of $33,600,000, or $3,600,000 more than the increase over the preceding session. Aitogetner, iu> government has appropriated $10,600,000 for the St. Louis exposition, of which amount it expects to have returned $4, 600,000. Says the Press in conclusion: "There has not been a session of Con gress in many years in which appro priations have been so carefully scruti nized as at the session ended yester day. In this respect the majority can well feel proud of its record. '1 he ef 1 fort of the Democrats to mislead the j public by contrasting the expenditures I now with those under the disastrous Cleveland administration is absurd. In 1894, under Democratic control, the net ordinary receipts of the government were only $297,722,019, while t he net ordinary expenditures were $367,525,280, leaving a deficit of $69,803,261. That was under the glorious Democratic itile. Ilut under this alleged extravagant Repub lican government the net ordinary revenues last year aggregated $558,887, 526. while the net ordinary expenditures were $506,272,073, the excess of re ceipts amounting to $52,615,453. Which is the most wise government, the one with a large surplus or the one with a big deficit and hundreds of thousands of people trying for bread? The ex ports in four years of Republican rule exceeded by $2,323,000,000 those of four years of Democratic rule. These are facts whit h the Democrats will not tell the voters; but the people of this coun tiy will not forget the sad lesson they learned under the last Democratic ad ministration.” I Mrs. Wiggs Rises in Wrath. Several million people have become interested in the life, work and charac ter of "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbaga Patch.' who, in private life, is the less known Mrs. Mary Bass, a humble resi dent of an unattractive section of Louisville. Kentucky. The little book and its sequel which brought fame and fortune to the bright young woman who wrote them have incidentally brought troubles to Mrs. Bass which have proved too much for her patient and cheerful soul. Last week she made her appearance before the local police court to answer the charge of throwing the contents or a slop jar on Mrs. Kmily Smith also of Louisville. Mrs. Smith claimed that her dress was ruined, her pride shattered and that her philanthropic impulses received a shock. In defense of the rather un conventional welcome which she ex tended to Mrs. Smith when the latter called on her. Mrs. Bass said to the judge: "These people who arc always nosin' in other people’s business are bound to git in trouble and that's just her fix. Kver since that fool book was wrote they have been butting in and I just made up my mind I'd stop 'em. I tried to scare ’em away by tellin’ 'em I d shoot, but it didn't work, and it's up to me to do somethin’ else. They lock to my house just like I was runnin’ a menagerie and they ain't nothin’ there to see but me and my two kids. If they'd only let us alone we’d be all right and we could live happy md contented.” The judge, being a sensible and sym pathetic man, set Mrs. Bass free with these observations which future visi tors to the Cabbage Patch will do well to keep in niind: "This prosecuting witness came to Mrs. Bass' house without invitation. The defendant has been brought into great notoriety as a result of a literary production and as a result has been terribly annoyed. Her home has been invaded, and the peace and quiet of life continually disturbed. I think that she has had great provocation, anil I think I ought to dismiss her of the charge on general principles.” It looks as though the town of York made a mistake when it voted to con tinue to grope along in darkness in stead ot acquiring a municipal lighting plant at a most reasonable figure. The report of the special town meeting, as published in the York Transcript, shows that the majority of the voters failed to grasp the significance of the golden opportunity. With its valuation 6f three millions and its attractions as r summer resort, York cannot afford to be without street lights like a back woods village. In a few years it will very likely put two or three times as much money into a lighting plant as was needed to acquire one at this time.

How eagerly the tree buds and the grass roots soak in the sunshine. Who did not envy the youngsters, last night, oil their may basket expe ditions?

Bowdoin and the University of Maine meet but twice upon the diamond, this spring, and both games are played, this week; at Oror.o, Wednesday, and at Brunswick, Saturday. The Biddeford Hecord intimates that the arrival of 24,(ri)0 lobsters at Port land, last week, has something to do with the increasing population claims of that city. The typhoid epidemic has taxed the resources of the Bangor hospital to the utmost, and it is expected that the col lections next Sunday, which by annual custom is Hospital Sunday in the Ban gor churches, will be record breakers. The bank burglary makes many Kennebunk people believe more strong ly than ever that the citizens made a big mistake at th-Mi last town meeting when they voted to have no watchman or police officer on duty nights. A resident of Waterville who has just passed his sixtieth birthday is re ported to have said to a ifriend, in com menting on the matter of his age. that he had never contracted a bill of any size and that he had never been any body's creditor. This is an experience that certainly very few men can boast of. even for a much shorter term of years. There is a story over East that a movement is on foot to annex Brewer to Bangor during the coming session of the Legislature. A free bridge has taught Brewer people what a delight ful city Bangor is to live in, and has set them to longing for similar blessings. And Brewer is a line city, too but can hardly hope to annex Bangor. Bangor News: It may be confessed now that Arbor day in the State of Maine is a failure. The idea is a splen did one. The mass of our citizens ap prove of setting out trees and adorning public parks and streets anti private grounds; but as yet no enthusiasm has b‘-en shown to warrant any good re sults. In many cities and towns the school children meet and set out trees and held cheerful exercises in com memoration of the day, but after the event has passed, the trees die for went of care, the boys cut them down for walking sticks, the teams drive over the spots set apart for arboricultural show, and at the end of the year there lc nothing left to indicate that there has been tin Arbor day, except the files of the faithful newspapers. There are exceptions to the above conditions, but they are so rare that they do no more than to emphasize the utter futility of creating a sentiment by proclamation and then forgetting the central idea as soon as the type has been distributed. Bath Independent: It is surprising to sec how many people, who are trans ferring real estate, are ignorant of the value of a deed, not as a proof of the ownership of property in the sense of a receipt, but in the description of the real estate the ownership of which the deed is a proof. At the time a piece of real estate is sold the purchas er usually knows about what he is buy ing while the man making the sale un derstands what he intends to seli, but unless the property is carefully de scribed when, generations from now, the same property is again sold it will be hard work to know just what prop erty is meant. Hours of search and many dollars are expended in trying to trace the ownership of certain pieces of real estate every week in our own county and what is true in Sagadahoc is equally true in others. If the deeds had been more explicit, as the property changed hands in the past many of these hours of work and dollars in cash could have been saved. The time is coming when some legislation will have to be made regarding the making of deeds. This is something which the registers of deeds as well as real estate men all over the State are fast seeing. Just what that legislation will be is hard to say but the time will surely come when property must be fully described before it can change hands and when it does come the proof of the ownership of certain real estate will not be so hard to find as it is now. Reflections of a Bachelor. It is high art in a woman to learn to blush at things there is no need to. It's the man who won't have a boss in politics that knuckles under to oiie at lie me. A woman's idea of a good husband is one who will let her boss the man who is making the garden, though hi; really knows how to do it. A woman's idea of a princely fortune would be to be able to go buy a sixty dollar hat and give a starving beggar' on the way a nickel. A woman is v?ry proud of herself when she has faith enough in a man to believe he is working at the office when she knows he is at the race track.— New York Press.

According: to Mrs. Condo Hamlin, daughter of ex-Governor Austin of Minnesota, St. Paul is undergoing a genuine civic renascence, started, ap parently through the initiative of Dr. tillage, the Health Commissioner. A few years ago, when he stepped int i ihe office, he discovered within eignt minutes of the City Hall an island in the Mississippi which was inundated at high water and was covered with a aense undergrowth. 1 his he quietly acquired, and made it the city dump for rubbish. This raised it above high water mark, making it so valuable that a rich brewer ottered a large price for it. Cat Dr. Ohage had a different fu ture in view for his recovered island. He transferred it to the city, with the proviso that it should always ie.nain under the control of the Health De partment, and upon it he lias estab lished a park, two gymnasiums, a play ground for t.ie children, public baths, a sterilizing plant for the bathing suits, a small "zoo" and a little vegetable garden L-r the forty assistants. And the island is only a little over four and a half acres in extent. The home rest cure is advocated by an Knglisli magazine writer in prefer ence to the sanatorium rest cure, in stead of dragging one’s self around un til one drops and then is packed off to the cure for months, she urges one to take two days of rest every fortnight or so by staying in bed, dozing and reading light literature. She recom mends seeing no one of the household except the one necessary servant. In fact, the writer pleads an almost ab solute separation from the outside world for a few days. This plan might he carried out in a big country house, but it would be next to impossible in a New York apartment or the average city house. A writer in "The Ladies’ Field” states vigorously that she is not a be liever in "respect due to age.” ’’Why ies|>ect should be considered the sole prerogative of age is a thing I have never been able to understand. When people have displayed consistent fool ishness or vacuity throughout their youth and middle age, why should a younger and perhaps wiser generation be expected to look up to them with reverence simply because seventy years have passed over their heads? Re spect, surely, should be a question of character and not of age.” The advantages of the beanbag as an exerciser for children are sung by a physician one of the magazines. He suggests that the nurse or mother play with the child or children, so that th" sport lie regulated as to time and energy, the number of tosses to be in creased from day to day and week to week. To begin with, both hands may be used, then one at a time, but the left hand and arm should have the same amount to do as the l ight. A small medicine hall may follow after pro ficiency has been attained with the beanbag. It has remained for the white rilibon ers of Nebraska to coin a new name for punch. Punch they thought had too hilarious and bibulous a sound for beverages which had not a suspicion of spiritous liquors about them. Punch bowls, too, came in .for the condem nation of the temperance reformers. To read in the columns of the daily paper that Mr. So-and-So, fifth vice president of the local Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union, had presided over the punchbowl at the social meet ing of the What-Not Club, the day be fore, struck them as a scandal, and manifestly indecent. So they opened a competition for a new name, and final ly selected from the many suggestions the name “Fruice.” Women’s temper ance societies all over th# country are adopting it, and it is said that several instances have been reported where women’s clubs have done the same.

There is a chance for a 75 fool range and the tar gets patented by Lieut. John J. Dooley of the First regiment will be used. A system of marking similar to that used in outdoor rifle shooting will be used, and the men classed according to the scores they make. When the weather j is such that the men can get out on the range the real work will begin, j and the members of the company hope to make as good a showing in target practice as they have made in drilling.

Hast spring, she was at Dartmoor, and she goes now for a month or two in Edinburgh. Early summer will find her at Quillcote. her quaint country house in the little town of Hollis. Me., where she does most her writing in rtn old apple orchard, often beginning before breakfast. She is strong ly urged to write a sequel to “Rebecca, and may decide to do it. There will be two portraits of unusual interest in the May Century, one of Tol stoi and the other President Roosevelt. The Tolstoi likeness is from a drawing made by George T. Tobin from a photo graph. and show’s Tolstoi at 29, as an offi cer in the Crimean war. The President s portrait, in tint, will be the frontispiece of th«- issue, and is from a photograph taken by Arthur Hewitt at the hite House, Jan. 20, 1901. Henry Holt Co. have in press a novel of Parisian life by the late Guy Wet more Carry]. It is called “The Transgres sion of Andrew’ Vane,” and in it are de picted salient characteristics of that com plex community, the American colony in Paris. Sarah Jewett has written little since 4 The Tory Dover,” so her story of A Spring Sunday” in May McClure s is es pecially welcome. An unassuming idyl in prose, it tells with lines characteristic ot her work the* tale of a Sunday excursion, stolen under the nose of New’ England conscience, by which a middle-aged and settled” pair found again some of the lost rapture of courtship. The London interviewer h;is been at work on W. L>. Howells, arrived to dissect tito heart of English society, and Col. George Harvey, who explains that Henry .lames and Howells, recognized, respec tively. as the leading literary analyists of England anti America, will tiade territoiy this vear. Howells dwelling in EnglantI while' James returns to rub t lltows with the states. Touching Mr. Howells person al appearance, his interviewer was much impressed by the marvelous crease in his trousers, his cheerful, even dapper, air, and a small gray moustache, that seems particularly characteristic of tile Ameri cans of the upper classes. Col. Harvey, tm the Other hand, was remembered for his tortoise-rimmed glasses, his unusual deliberation of speech anti a ctdd. clean shaven face. Ilf said, so the story runs, that Mark Twain is our only first-rate humorist ami that humor is the crying need of American letters. Hay Stannard Baker writes from his home at Lansing. Mieh., that his work on "(•rent Labor Conflicts.” for McClure's Magazine, has been somewhat interrupted by a broken leg, resulting from a fall into a coal hole. "A most uuheroic and ignominious performance, lie says lacon ically. Lee Shepard will publish early in May ■i rather remarkable ttook written by a young girl of only In. It is entitled “How ■i i.ittb Oirl Went to Africa.” Leona Mildred Hicknell. the author, is the child ul two missionaries who went out for service among the Zulus just before 111. outbreak lit tile liner war. Site tells of tile long voyage. «d her experiences in Loudon, and of In r residence among the strain; peoples 111 South Africa. The simplicity and truthfulness of the style and the graphic ouaintness of the expression muk- it notable. It will be illustrated with photographs. Mrs. Humphrey Ward has selected ''The Marriage of William Ashe” as the title for her new novel, which begins serial publication in the Jam- Harper's. Mr. C.eorge Meredith, writing of tin late Sir Leslie Stephenson's work in Iit mature says: "Tin- memory of it re mains with us. as being the profoundcst and the most sober criticism we have had in our time. The only sting in it was. an inoffensive humorous irony that now ami then stole out for a roll over, like a furry cub. or tin- occasional rippb on a lake in gray weather. We have nothing left that is like it.'' \^iil ftiT-f lias made the illustrations for Mrs. Florence Morse Kingsk y’s new novel. “The Singular Miss Smith." Mrs. Kingsley is lust known through ln r his torical-religious novel. "Titus: A Com rade of the Cross." of which more than IMjuO.mki copies have been sold in the I'nit ed St ites. The Macmillan company an nounce "The Singular Miss Smith" for publication soon. J. J. Hell, whose "Later Adventures of Wee Macgrecgor" the Harpers are pub lishing. was born in Glasgow iu JsTl. Ib* is the son of Mr. James T. Hell, tie- senior partner in the well-known tobacco man ufacturing linn of Messrs. J. AL- F. Bell. Young Mr. Bell entered the chemistry class of Glasgow Cniversity in order to make a special study of the blending of tobacco. But the literary spirit was strong in him, and he began contributing to the Glasgow Kvening Times, one day. having written himself out of bis usual subjects, he turned his hand to th writ ing of a sketch about a little Glasgow boy. and sent it to his editor with apolo gies for having left his beaten track. The editor published the sketch, and it proved to be tlie beginning of “Wee Macgrecgor.” the little book that sold over 17»*.00U cop ies in Great Britain alone, last year, be sides many thousand copies in this coun tr\. A new novel is announced by Thomas Dixon, Jr., author of "The One Woman" and "The Leopard’s Spots.” It is said to be. in a way. a companion to his lirst book, and is entitled "The Clansman." Mr. Dixon’s purpose here is to shew that the original formers’of the Kii Klux Klan were modern knights errant, taking the only means at hand to right wrongs. Apropos of Mr. Dixon, his "Leopard’s Spots is reported to he well in its second hundred thousand while "The One Wo man" is passing the 1 MO.000 mark. “The Autobiography of a Tomboy,” bv Miss Jeannette L.
