Stanley, Charged With the Harvie Murder, Says That David Fisher and Son James Did the Job. Both Arrested and Deny Deed—Excitement Around Windsor, N. S. Windsor, X. S., Feb. 6.—David Fisher, whose testimony yesterday at the in quest into the death of Freeman Ilar vie, resulted in the arrest rf George Stanley on the charge of having been concerned in llarvie’s death, today was arrested himself. The iiolice also took into custody lasher's son James. Harvie’s headless body was found yesterday in the cellar of his house, situated between the towns of Harts ville and KUershouse, while his head was discovered in a bag in another part of the cellar. Stanley, who was said to have been seen at Harvie's liou.-e at the time when liar vie last was seen alive, was arrested hist flight, having been found in a mill in Hartsville. At yesterday's inquest David Fisher and others related evideneo to the ef fect that Stanley had told Harvie's neighbors that he had purchased Har vie's farm and that Stanley had en gaged Fisher and liis son to go to work for him there. Stanley later disap peared and a search by neighbors who hail noticed Harvie's absence, revealed the mutilated body. Today the polk% announced that Stanley had told them that at the time he was arrested he was on his way to tell them about the murder. He said that he was concerned in the crime, hut that David Fisher and James Fisher had more to do with it than lie. He said that he had been away from the Harvio house for a time and that upon his re turn he heard loud talking in the cel lar. Upon investigation he found the Fishers, father and son, in the cellar, whore they told him they were getting some potatoes. Stanley left the house again and the next time he returned, he said he saw James Fisher washing blood from his hands. As tiie result of Stanley's statements, the police placed Fisher and ills son under arrest. Ttoth declared that they had nothing to do with the crime. The inquest at Hie close of yester day's session was adjourned until Thursday. The three men tinder arrest are confined in the Windsor jail.

Moody states That the Clause in Question Doesn't Mean That Justice and Commerce Depts. Were Working Together. Chicago. Feb. fi.—United States At torney General Moody took an active part today in the trial of the packers case. At the opening of court he was called upon by Attorney John S. Mil ler, who represents Armour Co., to produce the original copy of a letter written to him by President Roosevelt or to admit the authenticity of a copy which Mr. Miller produced in court. The attorney general admitted the accuracy of the document as a copy, hut declared that the clause in the let ter which the attorneys of the pack ers construed as meaning that the de partment of justice and the depart ment of commerce and labor were working on the case in unison was not correct. Itis assertion caused much ex citement among the attorneys for the packers, who objected to the statement of tlie attorney general as being im proper before the jury. The letter was not offered in evidence but was marked for identification. But three witnesses were on the stand during the day and their evidence was not of general interest. The afternoon session of the court was taken up by the reading to the court of the Garfield report on the packing industry. It is a document of 350 pages. The attorney general declared that he would admit the authenticity of the letter subject to its verificiation by J. A. Kratz, his private secretary. Then addressing the court, lie said: “if it pleases the court, I feel it my duty, upon reading this letter to say in regard to this sentence which con tains—'with my permission, the depart ment of justice, and the department of commerce and labor'—it it is not cor rect.” All the lawyers for the packers rose, several of them addressing the court excitedly. "I would like to finish,’’ said the attorney general. "I understand that the attorney gen eral assents to the authenticity of the document." said judge Humphrey. The cross-examination of C. M. Me Farlane was then resumed by District Attorney Morrison. The questioning was directed toward the subsidiary companies which it ise claimed by the government, were the media through which the control of the prices on all products were effected. The witness declared that the gov ernment's agents examined the books of the Aetna Trading Company and the Kenwood Company but said that he. knew little about the operations of the subsidiary companies. During a recess Attorney General Moody said regarding the letter writ ten to him by the President: ''I bad no objections at all to the let ter as presented by the defenses. What 1 meant by an inaccuracy in the letter was that the attorneys for the defense have placed a wrong construction on tlie words of the President. They seem to ihink that it moans that the depart ment of justice was aided by the de partment of commerce and labor in the, investigation. That construction is not right because the department of com merce and labor did not aid my de partment. 1 iiad no objection to the introduction of tlie document. It is a copy of the original.” Commissioner Garfield left for Wash ington today. JOSEPH H. PEARL. Prominent Haverhill Lawyer Dies Sud denly at Old Orchard. Old Orchard, Me., Feb. 6.—Joseph H. Pearl, for a number of years a law partner of Attorney General William ft. Moody, in Haverhill, Mass., and since Jan. 1, 190a, a member of the firm of Moody, Burdett, Wardwell Snow of Boston, died suddenly here today. Mr. Pearl had just arrived on a business trip. Death was attributed to heart trouble. Mr. Pearl was about 42 years of age. He was not married, but made Ills borne with a sister at Bradford, Mass., a district of the city of Haverhill. COURT AT BANGOR. Two Murder Trials to Be Disposed of at This Term. Bangor, Me., Feb. 6. —Two murder cases are assigned for the February term of the supreme judicial court whicli was begun today.

Warm Debate Over Senate's Prerogatives in Framing Treaties. ashington, Feb. 6.—Having fixed the end of the general debate on the rale bill at 4.30 o’clock tomorrow the recognition of the Chair was passed around at a lively rate in the House today. .Seventeen speeches were made, all of them lor the measure. The rail roads came in for an unusual amount of criticism. Mr. Gillespie, Texas, ex pressed his dissatisfaction with the re ply to his resolutions hinting,' at a com bination between the Pennsylvania and other railroads. He will address a re quest to the President to have the in terstate commerce commission make a thorough investigation along lines lie Will indicate to clear un this subject. Mr. Gaines of West Virginia placed in the record evidences of commissions of roads to control the coal output of his state and a tariff agreement be tween many Southern roads and steam ship lines indicating a division of the territory to control business. He said it was because competition had ceased alia arty that the pending bill was de manded. The day ended with a general laugh at Mr. Sul/.er, X. Y., who made iiis ap pearance as a humorist, lie toasted the opponents of lHe* bill, viewed with sus picion the unanimous report and point ed out as the “African in the woodpile.” the word ‘‘suspended” which he said would apply to every rate fixed untii tlie poor shipper was financially sus pended in trying to enforce it. How ever. he will vote for the bill. The list of speakers included Burnett, Ala., I.ovis. Ga.. Gudger, X'. C., Dick son. HI.. Gillespie. Tex.. Stanley. Ky., Murdock. Kan.. Kenner, Ta.. Hubbard. ia.t Ifangen, Ta.. Gaines, W. Va„ Small. X'. t\. Finley, S. C.. and Madden. 111., Waldo. X'. Y., Chandler, Miss., and Sul zer, X’. Y. After reaching an agreement to close general debate on the rate bill tomor row. tlie House entered on the discus sion today with a long program of five and ten minute speeches ahead. To morrow four long speeches are to be made by Bourke Coekran of New York, Williams, the minority leader, Mann of Illinois and Hepburn. A resolution introduced Jan. 27 call ing on the secretary of state for report of Herbert Pierce, caused some con fusion. Adams, Fenna, stated that the resolution purported to bo introduced by Van Duzer had not been presented in the House since the Christmas holi days, having been allowed leave of ab sence on account of sickness. Adams wished the resolution “vacated” and copies of it destroyed. Williams, the minority leader, sug gested that no action he taken until Van Duzer shall be present. He had been injured in a railroad wreck and was now in Ilazelton, Pa. As Adams seemed insistent. Williams threatened roll colls and demands for quorums, whereupon agreement was reached to let the matter go over until some later date. Four speeches on the rate Dili fol lowed in tlie next ten minutes. The speakers in each instance were given permission to "extend" their remarks in the Record. All favored the bill. They were Burnett, Ala., Lewis, Ga., Gudger, N. C.. Nixon, 111. Diversion v.as caused at this point by decidedly animated remarks re garding railway mergers by Gillespie, Tex., author of tile resolution answer ed by President Roosevelt yesterday concerning an alleged merger of rail ways with tlie Pennsylvania system as the important factor. He declared that that answer was an insult; that with the great machinery at hand, a complete investigation of actual con ditions should have been made. He said such an investigation would sho* that the railroads carrying bitumimous coal to the Atlantic ports are the Pennsylvania, New York Central, Bal timore Ohio, Chesapeake Ohio, Norfolk Western, and the Reading. He recited the facts developed con cerning the relations of four of these roads which were named in his first resolution in regard to their having the same stockholders and directors. Gillespie asserted that an investiga tion would show that there had been an allotment to each coal carrjlfcg road of a certain territory to prevent com petition in markets by means of rate adjustments, agreements and combi nations. Also that the Pennsylvania and New York Central, by means of their stock ownership arrangements have prevented coal from the territory I of the Norfolk Western and Chesa peake Ohio being offered anywhere above Virginia Capes; also that the Pennsylvania Co., has the power to curtail shipments from territory served by the Baltimore Ohio and Chesa peake Ohio, and Norfolk Western, also that the Baltimore Ohio declines to allot a fair proportion of cars to in dependent companies to open up new mines and become shippers or to al low Independent companies to open up new mines and become shippers on the line of the Baltimore Ohio. Also tbat an investigation uould show that the Pennsylvania Railroad and its offi cers were interested in coal companies shipping over its lines.

Savings Bank Commissioners Make the Complaint Alleging That Conlinuance Would Be Hazard ous to Public and Depositors. Boston, Fob. C.—Tlve savings bank commissioners alleging that the con tinuance of the institution would be hazardous to the public and to those having funds in its custody, Judge Bra Icy, of the supreme judicial court, today Issued a temporary injunction against the Hanover Bank, a West Vir ginia corporation, which has its main office at J33 Hanover street, this city, and branches in the towns of Norwood and Stoughton, Mass. All the oilierrs and directors of this bank arc residents of New York. One of the directors, Hubert G. Ituxton, was arrested yesterday in New York with John S. Whuc, president of the Impe rial Trustees Co. of Jersey City, and Clyde Colt, a New York broker, by United States authorities on indict ments charging them with using the mails to defraud. Foster Hooper, who lias been known as the vice president of the Hanover Bank, was also arrested yesterday, having been taken into custody in this city on a bench warrant issued by the United .States district court of New Jersey and charging Hooper with using the mails to further a conspiracy to defraud. The records of the state commission r of corporations indicate that M. S. ltoscwig. of the firm of Mcjilion Co., corner of Washington and Courtiand streets. New York, is president of the Hanover Bank: that F. \V. Jacobs of 32 Broadway, Now York, is secretary and treasurer, and that the directors include Hubert G. Buxton, H. B.

The savings bank commissioners de cline to disclose the exact condition of affairs of the bank, having turned the entire matter over to Attorney Gener al Dana Malone. The question of mak ing the injunction against the bank permanent and the question of appoint ing receivers will be heard tomorrow in the supreme court and until that time had arrived the attorney general preferred not to make public the de tails of the commissioner's report. Mr. Mr. Malone stated, however, that the liabilities of the institution represent ing the amount due depositors was The Hanover Bank occupies a unique position in banking circles, as it is rated neither as a savings nor a na tional bank. It is a foreign corporation, having received its charter in West Virginia in June, 1303. Its capital stock is $2fi0.,!(*0. In the year of its incorpora tion the Hanover Bank took over the State Banking and Safe Deposit Co., an Arizona corporation with a capital of $1,000,000 and, with its main offices at Hanover street, this city. The president was Charles K. Ainidon and the treas urer Albert H. Kastman. The directors included Edward K. Ainidon, Foster Hooper, who was arrested yesterday, I and Edgar F. Power. In their bill of information to tlie court the bank commissioners declare that on examination into the company’s affairs it appeared that its condition was: stu ii is to render the continuance of its business hazardous to the pub lic and to those having funds in its custody. It is understood that if losses are to be sustained by depositors they will not be as heavy as they would have bet it several months ago, because of the recent closing of the Provident Se curities and Banking Co., which now owes over $193,000 to over 9000 deposi tors. The embarrassment of the Prov ident institution induced many per sons having money on deposit with the Hanover Bank, both at its main office here and in its branch© offices at Stoughton and Norwood, to withdraw their deposits.

Otherwise Too Severe Punish ment May Be Dealt Out And Midshipmen Dismissed From Academy Without Real Cause. Washington, Feb. 6.—The President today made public a letter urging upon Congress a modification of the law against hazing at the -Naval Academy. Unless Congress shall promptly amend the existing law which makes manda tory the dismissal of any midshipman found guilty of any form of hazing, the secretary of the navy may be forced to dismiss 33 midshipman from the Xuval Academy within the next month, in addition to the eight who have al ready suffered this penalty and the tl>fee whose eases are awaiting the ac tion of the department. Sec. Bonaparte after urging upon individual members of Congress the necesrity for immedi ate legislation finally laid the whoio matter before the President. The investigating board of officers appointed by the superintendent of the Naval Academy has already brought to light evidence resulting in the trial of 14 midshipmen of whom two have been acquitted, eight dismissed, one par doned while under sentence of dis missal and another. Midshipman Minor Meriwether. Jr., whose ease is row awaiting action by the department, lias been found guilty and recommended for pardon. The investigating board has left with the superintendent of the academy ev idence against 33 other midshipmen who will probably bo ordered for court martial. Washington, Feb. 6.—President Roosevelt in a letter to Chairmen Hale and Foss, respectively of the Senate and House naval affairs committee, urges that legislation bo enacted at the present session of Congress to regulate the punishment for hazing at the Naval Academy. The President points out that in some instances it is manifestly unjust to subject a mid shipman, convicted of hazing to dis missal as frequently the punishment is quite disproportionate to the oiTenso committed. He suggested, further, that it is an error to try a midship man accused of hazing by court mar tial. His idea is that the power to deal with such cases ought to bo lodged In some administration officer or body to deal summarily with the cases. The letter of the President in part fol lows: “I have directed that a pardon be is sued to John Paul Miller, a midshipman at the United States Naval Academy, re cently convicted of ‘hazing’ and sentenc ed to dismissal from the academy. In the discussion of this case my attention has been called forcibly to the unsatisfac tory condition of the law on this subject. A midshipman accused of hazing, wheth er the extent of his offence be great or small, must he tried by court martial. •'The findings of such a court, if ap proved by the superintendent of the acad emy. are declared final and runnot be reviewed by the. secretary of the navy, or even by me, and neither the court it self nor the .superintendent or the secre tary of the navy has any discretion ns to tin- punishment to be imposed. It is de clared that, in all cases of conviction, tho offender shall he dismissed and he ineli gible for appointment as a commissioned officer of the army, navy or marine corps, during a specified time. “These provisions of law seem to tno neither just r.or judicious, nnd I am se riously concerned at tho injury which 1 fear may be done to the discipline of tho academy and even to the future efficiency of the navy if they are permitted to re main in force without amendment. “f heartily disapprove of the practice, of hazing and, in eommon with all those interested in the welfare of the academy, wish to see this practice thoroughly erad icated there. But the punishment of dis missal is altogether disproportionate to the culpability Involved In Rome forms of hazing. In many eases those amount to nothing more than exhibitions of boy ish mischief attended with no conse quences of any moment to those hazed, and indicating on the part of the liazers only some exhuberance of animal spirits. Unquestionably they ought ta be pun Continued on Page Three.) •f Waitt Bond’s

HOPE FOR PEACE But Moroccan Tangle Is far From Settled. Two ii.Uitsti Poinli g to Gtt awnj's Desire for Peace. But Qtr.tr Triage looicaiitig Tbat France's Wishes Are Not Acceptable. Aigeeiras, Spain, Feb. C.—Count Von Tatanbach, the German minister to "Portugal and the second of the dele gates of Germany to the Moroccan to-.feronce, and the Marquis isconti Venosta, the head of the Italian mis o:on to the conference, figured in two little Incidents this evening which snow Germany’s desire to avoid a rup ture with France and the neutral pow ers desire to maintain European peace. T he count, who was chatting with the wives of the ambassadors, remarked: “I have been painted as a sort of devil throusTicut this Moroccan affair.” One of the ladies replied that if “;>eop1e could see him in his present amiable mood it would remove such an unfavorable impression." "Perhaps so” answered Count on Tattenbacli, "but this legend ha.o be come so tlrmly fixed that I fear history v. ill picture me with horns.” ,r jst after this Countess Von Tatten bvh passed her autograph album in which she was taking the signatures of the ambasadors, to ihe Marquis Vis conti Cenosta, who leads in the efforts of the neutral powers to effect a recon ciliation. He took the album and wrote In T^atin the following: "Peace on earth to men of good will.” The marquis passed this pacific in siription to Count Von Tattenbach. who smiled grimly his approval. This glimpse behind the scenes gives the keynote to the present efforts to reconcile the Franco-German relations. The discussions going on between the Germans and French delegates to the Moroccan conference begin to dis close, their respective positions and how far each side is willing to yield on the main Franco-German contro v- erl'y of any guarantees and con tinues to resist French control of the p-.Mce as contrary to the spirit of the >i" n door, the German conception of tiie op‘-n door being that it should be safeguard against exclusive political i well as commercial advantages. However, Germany has not flatly rc fus«d to agree to French control of the police, as France has avoided making fii proposition sufficiently explicit to 1 ii i> busy, the Indications hi ing lb.. .h German delegates think 'I iltr 1“ near when they should pr. sent some definite counter project against the French project for control of the police. The Moors have taken a hand in trying to find a Franco-German com piomfre. They have formulated a pro ject, consisting of ten articles, giving the Sultan control of the police, thus entirely eliminating foreign control, file F*rench treat the project as pre posterous, declaring that it would r« cult in Morocco bring delivered over to anarchy for all time. The Germans would doubtless accept the Moors pro- teci In order to get France out of Morocco. The French rather suspect that ‘the Germans are behind the Mpors project.

"They admit,” he con tinued, "that the railroads have been guilty of secret rebates, of private car abuses and more than one of them had said that such offenses should be punished by imprisonment and the ft Ion's stripes." The only defense tue carriers made, he said, was “we had to do the stealing or the other follow would have gotten our trade.” (Ap plause). “Why,” he continued, “the gentle men of from Maine, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts show an anger, an acrimoniousness or viciousness in Hair assault upon this bill that is amazing. They have compared the ef forts of the public servants of the Am erican people to stop this robbery with the crucifixion of my God. They have compared it to a secret con spiracy concert* ft between a cowardly praetor and murderous Jewish priests.” Addressing the Republican side, Stanley continued: i he figure may nave some prop riety there, hut I thank God there is no Pontius Piiate here on the Demo rn; tie side washing hands of this leg ist tton fDemocratic applause). "Carry the s mile further—pass the taw and enforo it rigorously against the rai! roads and the private car companie alike and we will have two more thieves en the cross.” (Applause and laughter). “Why." he continuid.

(Applause on the D, mocrntlc Side). Stanley raised a high pitch of enthus iasm on the Democratic side. When or der was roster,d. Murdoik, Kin., pr. coed ed in favor of tiie bill. Murdock. Kas.. arraigned the "con servative spirit of tiie House.” which ho said, appeared other than conserva tive only in contrast with the Senate. He said: "Inasmuch as the first measure of this kind was introduced over forty years ago by Charles Summer: inas mueh as a similar measure passed the House thirty years ago and died in the Senate, by the way. and inasmuch as the commission once exercising this proposed power made orders affecting rates, in ten years, in only one hundred cases, the bill is not a rash or hasty step. But it is characteristic of a con servative body, in a conservative time, hard to prick through tiie callous of a profound prosperity. It will enable the conivnision to do some needed things directly and other more needed things indirectly but there are wrongs, wrongs which have been crying out for a remedy for forty years which it will net reach. “Silence the clamor of city against city, markrt against market and the wrong nt the disproportionately ex cessive charge on local rath- w:!I re main. Increasing volutns of through to a reduction of local rates. Go to the tariff schedules on tile and see if the local rates have been reduced. The I mogul locomotive, the larger car, the reduced grade and straightened track have reduced the cost of transportation. Go to the lute schedules and see if lo cal rates have shared. The per ton per mile rate has fallen from y.-il mills in 1S90 to 7.80 mills in 1904, a magnificent reduction. Go to the tariff sheets am'. I Pee if the local rate has participated in it.” Murdock submitted tables showing in creased local rates and he favored a provision in the bill reai hingr a regula tion of them. Gaines. \V. Va., a memo, r of the com mittee reporting the bill, was granted an hour and discussed the evils and reihedies covered by the subject. Gaines assort:,, as an answer to the argument that the pending bill stilled competition that com petition was already stilted by the action of the railroads themselves, and declared that a commission controlled by the Penn sylvania railroad existed to control the coal output of West Virginia. lie then read two sections from the Southern railway and steamship agreement Civic! ing up the territory. This agreement, he said, was signed by the proper officers i 79 railroads and steamship companies. Sulzer, K. Y.t viewed with some sus picion the fact that the bill was report ed unanimously by the committee, iI knew that if the railroads were opposed to the bill it would not have secured a unanimous vote. If the bill required the railroads to live up to the law, lie said, the corridors would have been full of lobbyists and railroad lawyers. "But I haven’t seen a lobbyist here yet.” Here Sulzer paused. "Dot s the gentleman from Now York know a lobbyist when lie sets one?” ask ed Grosvenor. ”1 certainly do,” answered Sulzer, "and] what is more. I know a railroad lawvei when I see one.” Ho paid his respects in humorous vie ws to those who had opposed Ilie bill and then said he would take the liberty to point cult "the distinguished colored gen- Homan in the woodpile.” It was the au thority to "suspend” the finding of tin commission. This word had never been adjudicated tut an Irishman or a Mo hammedan knew what it meant, "we know what it means." lie continued, “tit public will find out later and the pon j shipper still later.” He then told how largo attorney foes would be entailed and that not unlikely tlm shipper would broke and "suspended” before ho got I!1 order enforced. The House adjourned at 4.20 until to morrow at 11 o'clock. i IN THE SENATE, Treaty Framing Prerogatives Brings Forth Sharp, Caustic Debate. Washington, Feb. 6.—The Senate did not have an opportunity today to hear the discussion of Mr. Patterson’s resolution on the action of the Demo- rratic caucus as was partially promis- ed yesterday, but gave the entire day1 to a revival of the prerogatives of ti.e Senate in the matter of framing trea ties. Tile question was raised by Mr. j Llacon in a speech on his resolution re- questing information concerning the Algecirns conference. lie talked for almost three hours and was followed j by Mr. Spooner, who spoke for con- stdorably more than an hour. Both speeches were interspersed with de- I bat.

WHEELBARROWS IN CHINA. Meet Popular Transportation Method, Says Special Agent. Washington, Feb. fi.—Special Agent Purrill. of tlio Department of Commerce and Labor, lias sent from China a state ment regarding the use of wheelbarrows there which shows that Chinamen use that method of transportation more than any other. Mr. P.vrril 1 says: “The wooden wheelbarrow is in univer sal tire throughout China, and the annual demand for these unwieldlv vehicles is s large that it would be impossible to make even an approximate estimate of the number sold. Not only are they the prin cipal means of transporting commodities of all descriptions in the treitv ports, but they are used to a far gnat r extent in the interior, where it is necessary to transfer freight from river boats or Chi nese junks to points overland practically inaccessible by any other mode of con vey a nee.” CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

GARDINER, V m- A- Cold Weather and Business. Yesterday morning, although It might he considered comparatively mild In some winters, was one of the coldest for many weeks. The thermometer recorded from two to six degrees be low zero in different parts of the city. The temperature was about the same in Randolph, while in PIttston, always colder than places surrounding it, the mercury sank to 10 below. The cold-wave is gladly received by most people. Tjie traders feel that business has been deadened by by un» seasonable weather and that with the prevailing temperature normal activity will be restored. And of course the iff companies and the icc workers will hi benefited by the icc-making weather. Talbot began work on liis ice field yes terday morning.

Centuries Old Litigation Over Con vent in tho Holy City. I'niiKtaiithiople. Ei'b. G.—An Abys sinian mission lirailfil by Urn. Mas liashla. lias been here recently trying to settle a claim which has been the object of litigation between the Abbys sir.ia 11s and Copts for many cen turies. The bone of contention is the Convent of Deir-es-Sultan. within the precincts of tho Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem. The Ahyssinians claim that it was granted to them in 300 A. I>. by the Creek Empress Hellena, the mother of Constantine the Great. The papers testifying to their claims were burned at the instigation of tho Armenians during the plague in 1838. Tho Abys sininiiK applied to the English consul ai Jerusalem in 1850 for the restoration of the convent. Ineffective corre spondence between the British Embas sy at Constantinople and the home government followed, with the result that the Copts who were in possession of the convent refused to quit. Matters rested in this way until lftOI. when Gen. Mashnshia was order ed to apply directly to the Sultan. He came to Constantinople and carried on negotiations with the Sheikh-ut-Islan without result. Hut this time, it is said, he has been luckier. The Sultan, it is reported, has ordered the Copts to surrender the keys of the convent to the Ahyssinians, hut it is very doubt ful whether tin: latter will submit. TO BUILD 23 BRANCH LINES.

Thomas A. Edison, the vizard, is something of a joker. A correspond ent's eye was rauclit by a model that looked like a cradle with a telephonic attaeliment. “What on earth is that'."’ inquised the visitor. "I hope to make my fortune from that invention,” said Edison, gravely. “It is a motor to run by sound. You nttarh it to a cradle, and the louder the baby cries the fast er the cradle rocks." "Twelfth Night” was observed this year at Drury Dane Theatre, London, as usual, by the cutting of the "Bad dcley Cake.” In 179?

Philadelphia North American: The sug gestion. often made, that the pitcher lie dented a cliancc to bat. and a substitute player sent up to him every time, has been brought to life again, and will come up for eonsidr ration when the American and National League committees on rules get together. This time Connie Mack is credited with having made the sugges tion. He argues that a pitcher is usually such a poor hitter that his time at the bat Is a rarce. and the game would be helped by eliminating him in ffcvor of a better bitter. Against the chance there are many strong points to be made. It is Wrong theoretically, n jK a cardinal prin ciple of baseball that everv member of t'l1 team should both held and bat. Instead of taking the pitcher away from the Plate, the better remedy would Ik* to teach Idm how* to hit the ball. A club that has g«n»d hitting pitchers like Plank or Orth lias a right to profit by their skill.

There was no great controversy over this question, Yost having a contract running four mormreurs. The propos al made by the 1 niversity of Chicago that football be abolished for two years was defeated by a decisive vote. It was decided to accept the Chicago conference recommendation for a three years cl:#ribility rule but at the Univer sity of Mulligan the rule is not to be rotroact vu, that is, it will not apply to students who entered college under the former conditions. This ruling of the senate wild save Capt. Curtis. Carrels. Harlow and Schulte, who have been in athletics three years and would have been ruled out under the Chicago re comnu ndattions. When the proposition to abolish the training Utblo was reached, a deter mined ligh-l was started in favor of re taining tha tables hut having won out on its print ipal contentions the opposi tion ditl not press ils advantage and the rule to iibnilish training tables was en dorsed as Here also the remaining res olutions of the Chicago conference.

'11’o narrow dimensions of the market deprived it of any great significance ‘n its hearings on larger conditions. The re covery which set in during: the latter part of yesterday was continued, hnt the demand became more languid as the ad vance made progress and a hesitating tone ilt'vioppf] in the higher levels. Such I activity as tin re was centered largely in j special stocks and the strength shown hv these had a notable sympathetic effect on tiie general list. The severe winter weather as being: seasonable was ex pected to rectify some of the slackened demand in mercantile lines and the action ot the wheat market failed to show any apprehension of damage to tiie wheat crop by the cold weather. Some of the earnings reported by rail roads made a very favorable showing, partly owing to the fact that the fourth week of January this year had only one Sunday compared with two in the last we*k of last year. The regular dividend on Canadian Pacific disappointed some speculative holders who sold the stock, •with consequent weakness.

Cascarets don't Furge, nor Weaken, nor waste Digestive Juices in flooding out the Bowels, like Salts, Castor Oil, “Physics." But,— they act like Exercise on the Muscles that shrink and expand the In testines, thus pushing the Food on Natur ally to its Finish. When the Bowel Muscles grow flabby weak, or lazy from want of Exercise, the Food does not tickle them enough to make them act. That's Constipation! Castor Oil. or “Physic" will help to slide out one load of trouble, but they can’t help the Cause.

y In fact, they weaken the Bowel Muscles more than ever by slackening them, and by doing work fo£ them which they should do for themselves. When your Arm-Muscles grow flabby they need Exercise, to strengthen them —not a sling to support them. When your Bowel-Muscies grow flab by they need Exercise to strengthen them—not “Physic” to pamper them. Then carry the little ten-cent “Vest Pocket” box constantly with you, and take a Cascaret whenever you suspect you need it.

You can’t reasonably expect that any weak stomach will regain its strength and get well when it is compelled to do the full work that a sound stomach should do. You wouldn’t expect a sick horse to get well when it is compelled to do a full day’s work every day of the week. Your stomach must have rest. But it isn’t necessary to starve your self in order to rest your stomach. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is a perfect digestant. It will digest all of the food you eat regardless of the condition of your stomach.

Union Grange Meeting. Union meeting was held with Chelsea Grange at the chapel last Saturday and a most enjoyable day was passed by tlio.se present. The traveling being not very good probably kept many away from the other surrounding Granges, but those who ventured were well re paid. The meeting was called to order bj the Woitliy Master Patrick Hayes, and the forenoon devited to business. Dinner was served at noon by the sis ters of Chelsea Grange in their usual hospitable manner. In the afternoon the worthy let Hirer presented the follow ing program; Singing by the Grange; readings by Brother Lawrence and sister Fnza Green: song by Broths: Sparrow of Danville Junction Grange, encored; readiugo.

STOMACH ON THE BRAIN What if a Man Gain the Whole World, and Lose Hia Appetite? The man with a well-behaved .stom ach never thinks about it. fie eats what tic likes and likes what he eats. He knows he'll enjoy it, because he knows he has a stomach that will eas ily digest It. All things look good to him; he will sit close to the table, and with a merry twinkle in his eye and a world-peace expression, he will “start" on the delicious meal before him. Hut the man with the bad, brashy, gurgly stomach is the man who is al ways thinking about it. He can sel dom eat what he most likes, and sel dom likes what he eats. His stomach woriies him before meals, after meals and between meals. It is on his brain. It robs him of his cheer and interferes with his daily work. Around him is a dark spirit which presses itself for ward in ins thoughts, crying: “I am agony, I am disgust, I am na\lsea. I am sickness, languor, worry. I am conceived in quick lunches and pappy food, and nourished by gulpy meals. I rob brains of their force and bodies of their life. I steal away nerve and vim. I bring heart disease and apoplexy. I make the world a pit of weariness and darkness. I am woe, I am death. 1 am dyspepsia. But yet, I bring also hope, light and future health, because by my gloomy presence I give you warning and a chance to es cape me." This is a bad dream, but it is the daily dream of the dyspeptic. If it were not for the white we couldn't tell the black. If it were not for dys pepsia. we couldn't know the joy. the happiness of a well-ordered digestion. All the world looks bright to a man of good health, and good health is im possible without a good, hardy stom ach. And any sick or weak stomach ran be made a good, strong one by just taking something which will digest your food for you. instead of letting your tired stomach do it. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the most effec tive little tablets in the world for this very thing. If you feel bloated after eating, or you have nausea, aversion to food, brash, irritation, sour stomach, heartburn or dyspepsia. Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets will stop it because one grain of an ingredient of these tablets will digest 3.000 grains of food. Your stomach is overworked. Let it take a rest. You're not yourself when you have a bad stomach. These tab lets will do the work that the stomach has to do and make you feel bright, think clearly and give you ambition and power to concentrate your atten tion on your work. You'll feel good. You should always have a box of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets on your dining table. They will make you get all the good possible out of everything you eat, and you'll enjoy it.

I lost the use of my hands and had to go to the hospital, but did not get any relief. I also had it in my limbs and body and oould not walk for six months. I was a patient in the Homeopathic Hospital, the Kmcr gency Hospital, and the New England Hospital, and did not get any relief from any of them. I also went to the Fourth tirade Hospital in New York. Some of Boston's best physicians at tended me and still 1 found no relief. For three years I could not do any work at all, but for the last year, since using Minarri’s Liniment. I am able to do all my housework. 1 fnink that I know the worth of Minard’s Liniment better than any person who has ever suffered with rheumatism.

Address all communications relating to subscriptions and advertisements to BURLEIGH FLYNT, Publishers, Augusta, Maine. Wednesday, February 7, 1906. Admiral Schley, while out driving In Washington recently, suffered a col lision with a grocery delivery wagdn. Evidently the street was not wide enough for him to execute his famous "loop” tactics. The proposition of the mayor of Santiago that San Juan hill be given Miss rioosgvelt as a wedding present is only in keeping with the general senti ment of the times. That young lady can come pretty near having the earth at this time if she desires it. Another American heiress has de •Tnonstrated that marriage is a failure when contracted with a foreign title. Nobody has ever doubted that the lit tle Count Bonnl de Castellane was a pc.ilia wag of the cheapest type, and that Anna Gould would repent at leisure has lc-en everywhere expected. “Nobody seems to think that Con gressman I.ongworth deserves any wedding presents,” laments a Maine exchange. Hut it is not on record that tlie happy Nicholas is finding any fault with the situation. The bride gets the presents and he gets the bride, presents nod all. and so he fates pretty well. It may have surprised the devoted Jtov.'leites to discover that Howie and Jtowielsm are comfilete failures, but the rest of the world lias known It for gome time, llut neither the failure nor the acknowledgment of the failure will prevent crowds from flocking around the standard of the next '‘Elijah” who appears on the horizon. Evidently Senator Patterson of Coln rado is aspiring to figure In a little bet ter political company than he has been Identified with in recent years. It is to his credit that he shows a disposition break away from the Democratic pro gram which stands for opposition solely for the sake of opposition. The Demo eratlc rebukes which he has received will give him a higher place in the estimation of the country. Our American delegates to the AJ geclras conference had a chance to take in a Sunday hull fight.—Biddeford Record. Yes, they had a chance hut they did not take it. Neither the American nor the English delegates were present at the Sunday bull fight at which three hulls and half a dozen horses were slaughtered in the arena. By staying away they showed that they were representatives of Christian nations which have a higher standard of civi lization and a different idea of Sunday observances than prevail in the I .a tin countries. It was not General Miles* who made tlie famous remark that the only good Indians are dead Indians. The Hidde ford Uncord recently attributed it to him and promptly received a note from Hie old Indian fighter, in which lie de clared with much emphasis that lie was never the author of any such in human, brutal and truthless statement.” As the remark has been commonly at tributed to him, it would be ihteresting to know the real author of It, which is fully as famous as General Sherman's epigram regarding the nature of tin: war. A movement has been started in Atlanta for a grand memorial to the late General Wheeler, and a great meeting Is announced In that city for February L'S. Corporal Tanner, the present commander of tin* Grand Army of the Republic, has accepted an invi tation to l>e present, and President J loose veil himself will be there if press ing business in Washington does not compel him to remain at the capital. The meeting will be in the nature of a memorial service for the beloved vet eran of both the blue and the gray, and will probably result In definite steps towards a fitting monument to bis memory. serve a« a national park the old Ken tucky form upon which Lincoln was horn Is making good progress and premises to be successful. Kentucky itself, after long years of neglect. Is beginning at last to do fitting honor to the memory of her most Illustrious son. Only the other day, by a Joint resolution introduced by a Republican member, the Kentucky legislature made Lincoln's birthday, February 12, a legal holiday. There was not a sug gestion of an opposition to the resolu tion. Lincoln day is already a holiday in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois. Min nesota, New Jersey. North Dakota, Pennsylvania. Washington. Wyoming and Massachusetts. The transforma tion of the old Lincoln homestead in Larue county into a national park will be a splendid thing for Kentucky, and an interesting thing about it is that it is only a few mile* from the country's center of population. The White Mountain Forest*. Again an appeal goes forth to save the forests of the White mountains. The announcement that 100.000 acres of White mountain lands, including most of the famous Presidential range, have passed into the hands of a lumber com pany emphasizes the timeliness of the bill which Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire has just introduced into the Senate authorizing the secretary of agriculture to purchase at his discre tion not more than 500,000 acres of land in the White mountains for a national forest preserve. A bill introduced two years ago set the limit at 1,000.000 acres and was strongly endorsed by the com mittee on forest preservation, but did not receive a passage.- Nevertheless, the half million acres provided in the present bill would make a fine preserve and would rescue a1 large part of the White Mountain area from ruin. It would be more than 781 square miles. If put into a square it would measure nearly twenty-eight miles in each di rection. It would comprise the region from Mount (.'nrrigan in the south to Starr King in the north, and from Keariarge in the east to Profile Moun tain In the west. Of course, the tract acquired would probably not be a com pact square, hut would be irregular ifl contour, and might thus embrace a much greater geographical scope than that which has been mentioned. The area named in Senator Gallinger's bill might easily include all the choicest parts of the White Mountain range. Another Song Writer Gone. The writers of good old American songs are receiving honors these days. Only o. few days ago we spoke of the monument which Kentucky is to erect to Stephen Foster, who wrote “My Old Kentucky Home,” "Old Black Joe." “Suawnee River,” and a dozen other songs which have an enduring hold on the Amercian heart. Now the papers are filled with tributes to the memory of Louis R. Dressier, another song writer who has just died. He wrote “On Ihe Banks of the Wabash," “Tlie Rlue and the Gray,” “Just Tell Them That You Saw Me." “The Pardon Came Too Late," “The Letter That Never Came,” and a dozen other bal lads which have been sting and hummed and whistled by millions of people the country over. Like Foster, he wrote the songs of the nation, lived a quiet life and did not care who made the nation's laws. Some will sneer at the Dressier bal lads and criticize their literary quali ties and point out where they fall short of classical standards, but there is, nevertheless, something in them which explains and warrants their phenomenal popularity. They have that element which appeals to the heart, the words being such as touch a reminiscent chord in the depths of memory, a.:d their simple music being of the kind that sings its way into the soul and stays there. Perhaps Dress ier was not such a great song writer as Stephen Foster was, but if his name is remembered by the millions of peo ple to whom his songs have given pleasure and solace, he will have an enduring monument. The old world is in need of more song writers like Fos ter and Dressier. A Negro's Reply to Dixon. In New York, the other day. Rev. Thomas Dixon, the author of “The Clansman” condescended to enter into a discussion with several colored speakers regarding the scheme which lie advocates to remove all the colored people from this country and colonize them in Africa and elsewhere. His text is “We must remove the npgro peaceably now or we shall have to light him later and drive him from the coun try by force of arms. If he stays here a great and bloody race war is a cer tainty of tlie future.” To this proposi tion a negro clergyman. Rev. M. \V. Gilbert of the Mount Olivet Baptist church. New York, made Ibis dignified and effective* reply: “We know no other land than this. You brought us here 250 years ago against our will, and now those of us who are alive believe this to be our home. It is idle for Mr. Dixon to talk of peaceful colonization; there can be no peaceful colonization. Be is right: we would fight. He tells tis to go hack to our home, the land we came from. All right; we'll agree to it if Mr. Dixon will go back to Ger many, where he says his forefathers came from. Reasoning in that way lie ill give this land to the Red Men, to whom it aetually belonged. Or we will ag*-ee to go back if they pay us for the services we have rendered to this country during the many years that we were slaves and up to now.” This will strike most people as a remarkably cairn and dignified reply by a black man to a white man who, during the discussion, had grossly in sulted the entire- negro race, by say ing: “You never hear of a white man assaulting a negress. Why? Because assault implies resistance, and no colored woman knows what virtue means.” I Give Honor to Whom It Is Due. Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Reme dy, of Rondout, X. Y., cured me of Brights’ disease and Gravel. Four of the best physicians had failed to re lieve me.

And when the air is chill His voice is heard throughout the land With wild discordant thrill “I never saw such times as these! ’Most everything on earth will freeze. It’s dropped Just thirty-two degrees, And will be colder still!” —Washington Star. That snow storm was only an aggra vation; a little more, please. A Bath man planted his sweet peas last week and was planning to plant his nasturtiums this week but lias changed his mind. The catalogue of Wesleyan University Connecticut, just issued, shows 11 young men and two young ladies front Maine among the students. Buckfield's record for 190". was about the worst yet. There were 28 deaths in the town and only four births. The students of Fryeburg academy are enjoying an unexpected mid-winter vacation, owing to an epidemic of measles in the sehrtbl. Those Bates girls who gave such a successful advance representation of the I.ong worth-1 loose volt wedding ought to lie invited to Washington to witness the real thing. There is probably only one social eluh in Maine in which a member 92 years old can be found who is willing on serve on a committee to prepare for a ladies' night, and that is the Brunswick club of that town. The member of the club is Capt. William M. Otis, who was on the committee that had charge of the ladies’ night Monday last week and Capt. Otis did even more than his share of the work. At least one Hebrew in Brunswick has an appetite. His name is Sugar mann and few people in town are able to consume as much as he. Sunday evening after eating a hearty supper, which included among other things six baked potatoes and almost an entire loaf of bread, he stepped into the Ken nebec Fruit Store and said that he was hungry. He then made a bet that he could cat a certain number of bananas in ten minutes. The propritor accept ed the bet and banded out two dozen of his biggest bananas. The Jew be gan to eat. One after another the bananas disappeared. Those who were holding the watches soon saw that the proprietor had lost his bet. As the 21st banana disappeared Joe handed over the money and called iae bet off. It had taken Sugarmann exactly six minutes to eat the 21 bananas. Mrs. Augusta Hale Gifford of Port land lias received the following letter from His Royal Majesty King Victor Emanuel III, King of Italy, in recogni tion of a volume of her work, "Italy, Her People and Their Story,” which was recently sent to him. The King's letter was written in Italian by his minister, and stamped with the King's seal and is a very handsome document. Tiie following is a translation: Rome, tfitli .Ian.. 19011. Ministoro della R. Casa, Divisione Prinia, No. 71.1: There has come to the King, my au gust sovereign, a copy of your publica tion. “Italy.

Tilt* Maine Press association will hold its next summer's annual outing in York. The committee having all the arrangements in charge consists of Joseph Wood, secretary of the associ ation. of Portland: Annie Joyce t'redi ford of tiie Enterprise of Kennehunk; K. I>. Twombly of the Transcript. York. The membership of the association comprises over UK) newspaper pub lishers and editors from all parts of the State. The annual outing of the association is something eagerly looked forward to by its members with their families* and friends, and to many of them it rs presents about the only leave of absence which they obtain from their duties during the entire year. The outing usually lasts for one whole week and comes either the last week in June or the first week of July. During its visit in York the association will have its headquarters at some hotel, to be determined upon later, and from that point excursions will be taken to points of interest throughout the vicinity. The committee hopes to arrange at least one public event in the form of a reception. In his annual report State Superin tendent Stetson has this to say in recognition of the work which the painstaking and efficient local officials are doing throughout the State: “There has been a change for the bet ter in the personnel of the school boards. Towns are more careful to elect persons who are competent and interested in the work. These officers are striving to provide better schools. The executive work is. largely pe> formed by the superintendent and the legislative functions are in charge of the committee. The two are working in harmony and, as a result, most of our schools are provided with courses of study, greater care is used in the examination, certification and employ ment of teachers and there is a mare intelligent inspection of the work done." VOICES OF THE PRESS. Endorsed by the People Whose Bus iness He Attended to. ittusmngton Star.) Two views of congressional duties were very entertainingly canvassed in last year's race in Virginia for the Unit ed States senatorship. Gov. Montague buttoned up his coat, looked dignified after the ante-bellum fashion plates of statesmen, and charged Senator Martin with being a mere "department run ner.” One got the idea that in attend ing to the ordinary business of his constituents Senator Martin had lowered the dignity of his -office and that it was Gov. Montague’s in tention if elected to sit in the Senate chamber and discuss the Constitution with all coiners, and apostrophize the American eagle at every opportunity. Senator Martin, without a blush, pleaded guilty, and declared that if re turned to the Senate he should continue in his course as an everyday servant of the people. If by running the depart ments he had secured anything for Vir ginia and Virginians he was proud of it, and, like Oliver Twist, would be found during a new term, platter in hand, wanting more. And the Virgini ans, not without the proper sense of dignity, indorsed the “department run ner," and voted to keep the buttoaed up orator at home. A lesson is in that result for every day people in these everyday times. I.egs and brains*, pusli and intelligence, all are necessary to success. Pointed Paragraphs.

Admiral Togo will visit America in April, it is announced upon trustworthy authority, with two armored cruisers.

Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles—An Augusta Citizen Shows How to Cure Them. Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kid ney disorders. That is just where file danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they lead to diabetes er Bright s disease. The best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It cures all ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Augusta peop.u testify to permanent cures. Honks, carpenter, contractor and builder, of St Quimby St.. Augusta. Me., says: "No person suffering from kidney complaint need hesitate to use Doan's Kidney Pills. I suft'tred for a long tint*: front spells of backache and kidney tiroes it was with the greatest difficulty that I could stoop or straighten up and mv work caused severe twinges to Pd through my back. I was advised by a friend who had been cured by Doan's Kidney Pills to give them a tiial. and I got box at the drug store of Willis Ft. Partridge. I did so and found the rem edy to bo all that is claimed for It. t^ass than two boxes cured me. I had no fur ther trouble until a short time ago when I was taken with a bad attack.

Twomilesaniimite, Geeliowwego! —Xeiwark News. The Court Understood. One of the easiest ways for a lawyer to confuse a witness is to make him explain the meaning of a word, says The .Memphis Scimitar. Few people can deline a word satisfactorily, even if they know its meaning. A New York lawyer was cross-examining a young woman who had a haughty tem per. She had testilied that she had seen the defendant “shy” a bool: at the plaintiff. The lawyer seized on the word. “‘Shy?’ ‘Shy' a book? What do you mean by that? Will you explain to the court what the word ‘shy’ means?" The girl leaned over the desk be neath the witness box, picked up a law book. and threw it so accurately and so forcibly at the lawyer that no liad h ud work to dodge it. “1 think the court now understands the meaning ol' the word ‘shy’." sail the judge, gravely. The girl was al lowed to finish her testimony. Trusts vs. Rings. “What,” queried the fair maid, “is the difference between a trust and a ring?" “I'm afraid I cannot explain the dif ference in so many words," replied the young man in the cn=e, "but if you’ll put your trust in me I'll blow myself for the ring tomorrow.” And she put her trust in him. Might Have Known It. Green—What became of that pretty stenographer you used to have Brown—Had to let her go because the clerks flirted with her. Green—Why don't you get a plain one? Brown—I did advertise for one of that kind, but didn't get a single response. Women Who Can Talk. Speaker Reed once remarked that there was but one woman in Washing ton society who could talk nolitics in telligently, and she is Mrs. Robert R. Hitt, wife of a representative from Illinois. Mrs. Fairbanks realizes more nearly the woman who is such a force in British political life. She is a law yer and a profound student of social conditions. She is a worker in the Junior Republic, and the present pros perous condition of that social venture is largely due to her direction. Mrs. I.a Follelte. wife of the newly elected Senator from Wisconsin, is also a law yer. and is interested in social reform, especially among the younger criminal class. But the women f wealth, high position, and intellectual force of America, with rare exceptions, are too fond of the frivolities to take an active interest in the movements which en gross the time of the women of ih» Old World, especially in Britain.—Kan sas City Star. Naming the Girls. Young people who have, or think they linve. reason to regret the names which tln ir parents bestowed upon them, should take heart from the case ol three little girls in a backwoods hamlet in tip' Alle ghenies and a colored child in New York. The little girls in the mountains attracted the attention of a traveler, who asked their names. One was Kerosina, another Verbena. the third Soapina—light, sweet ness and cleanliness in one family! What more could he asked? The little colored child was playing in a New York park, when a visitor heard an old “mammy'' call her “Kxy.” She remarked on tie* curious abbreviation. "Oh. ves'm. Tint chile's g >t a mighty high-sntm'in' name," said the old colored woman. "My daugh ter fatin’ it in a medical book. It's Eczema.” Male Servitude. To hear some people talk one would think that every woman's husband was a cnoinet minister. "Men." they say, "so out to svvnv the seeptre and to rule, while women sit at home.” Men, as a mutter of fnet go out to ho shouted and ordered about like niggers till day.

A Very Large and Enthusiastic Meeting Important Measures Discussed. A very helpful and enthusiastic meeting of the new Augusta Board of Trade was held last evening in the spacious parlors of Hotel North, and the attendance was the largest and most representative that has yet graced the new board's gatherings. The meeting was called to order shortly before 8 o'clock, and in the absence of the president, Col. R. W. Soule, who is in Canada, Charles Pu. inton was elected to act as chairman. Chairman Purinton read a letter from Hr. G. At. Twitchell of Auburn, who wished the new hoard a long pros perity, and who pledged his efforts to secure the annual meeting of the State Grange for Augusta this year. The following letter was also read in re gard to this matter: “Augusta Hoard of Trade: Your valued invitation to the State Grange to hold the next session ot said body at Augusta at hand, and has been referred to I,. \V. Dyer of Wood lords, who has this matter in charge. He will doubtless visit you in the near future and confer with you in regard to the holding of the next session. (Signed) o. GARDNER, faster.” This letter was in response to an in vitation forwarded Master Gardner some weeks ago. Chairman Purinton also read a long and very cordial communication from Calvin Austin, president and general manager of the Eastern Steamship Co. -,,r- Austin stated that the directors of the company had, in response to the urgent request of the Augusta Board of Trade, voted to name the new steamer now under construction for service between this city and Bath, the “City of Augusta."

Dut ton of that committee, who in collabor ation with Messrs. A. M. Goddard and F. J. C. Little, drew up a very com plete and adequate set of by-laws, 'i he by-laws received a reading, arid with slight revisions, met with the en tire and unanimous satisfaction of the board.

The strenuous life of modern times forces people to rush through their meals hastily, hurrying from the ta ble in the mad rush after the almighty dollar. The result is Incomplete digestion, inflammation of the walls of the stomach, and lack of secretion of the gastric juices, ending in chronic stom ach trouble and nervous breakdown.

The headaches, sleep lessness, nervous troubles, pain after eating, specks before the eyes, back aches. melancholy and gloomy fore boding would be soon overcome and perfect health and strength would be restored. So reliable Is Mi-o-na in curing all forms of stomach weakness and trou bles that Bowditch Webster and Percy W. Means give a signed guar antee that the remedy will cost noth ing unless it cures. Each box of Mi o-na sells for 50 cents, and is invalu able to anyone who suffers with In digestion, nervousness or weak stomach. Waterville Notes. The little Mi-o-na tablets sold by Geo. W. Dorr, the druggist, have be come deservedly popular. Mr. Dorr guarantees that Mi-o-na will make thin people fat, regulate digestion, and Increase health, or else there will be no charge for the remedy, and the pur chase price 'Will be returned on de. mand.

Hero is the interesting comment of the Bangor Commercial upon the re cent organization of the Cony-Au gusta High School Athletic Associa tion "Over in the capital city on the Kennebec the staid business and pro fessional men of Augusta are bestir ring themselves, holding mass meet Jings and gathering their forces pre paratory to making an assault on the city treasury with all the energy they would show in going into a campaign to land one of their number in a politi cal ottiee. The present activity among these gentlemen has, however, a more worthy purpose, in some respects, than a political campaign could have. It is for tile purpose of inducing the Au gusta city fathers to open up their coffers and give $1500 to be used in draining and leveling the old Oilman field in that city and making an ath letic field for the use of the Cony-Au gusta High School Athletic Associa tion. "This association is to be formed with a membership of former high school students, instructors, public officials, and parents of students. “The proposed constitution specifics hat the objects of the association shall be ‘the encouragement and de velopment of a healthful athleiic spirit and practice in the Augusta schools: tiie protection of amateur spirit and standing; the suitable recognition of athletic merit; and cordial aid and assistance to undergraduate teams and organizations, more especially In the developmeiH of the athletic field provided by the trustees of the Cony Female Academy.’ "The citizens of the capital city seem intent on having an athletic field for tiie use of the schoolboys and schoolgirls of the city. They have the land and they are now after an ap propriation from ihe city government to which tiie public-spirited citizens will add enough more to make the athletic field as good as it can pos sibly be. In this the action of the Augusta citizens is most laudable and a similar movement would me-t wild great favor hero in Bangor." The nfficers-eket of Augusta Bodge. No. ti;i, A. O. U.
