DAY’S DOINGS ABOUT MAINE. Was Confined to the Maine Central Station. Caught in the Office From an Exploding Lamp. People in the Hotel Above Lose Effects —One Narrow Escape. Vanccboro, Up., Feb. -1.—The fire which broke out Tuesday night was confined to the Maine Central Railroad building containing the Station, restau rant and small hotel, express and freight offices. A score of people in the building did not have time to save any of their personal effects so quickly did the fire spread front the railroad company’s office where it originated from an ex ploded lump. Lucy Rogers, an em ploye, barely escaped from the llames. The loss was estimated at $10,000. Wire communication was Interrupted until Wednesday. Another report says: The fire started in the ..Ilicu of the Dominion Kxpress Co. where Agent Kingston was at work. An oil lamp was overturned and the blaxing oil spread over everything within reach and carried the lire up the walls of the cilice with such rapidity that there was no checking it. The buildings are of hard pine and the sea soned wood burned like tinder. The second lioor of the building is finished into rooms which are occupied by trainmen who slop in the town over night. Agent Kingston gave the alarm as quickly as possible and the occupants of tin building got out as quickly as possible. Mi:-a Lucy Rogers, a took in the station restaurant, occupied one of tile rooms, on the second floor and had retired for the night when the lire broke out. The lire lul l almost reached 1-r room when she was aroused and clad only in her night ch thing ran tloun the stairs and out through it door through which the flames were al ready leaping. .M i-s Rogers escaped without injury hut was almost pros trated by the shock. John i.upeu, a veteran conductor of the Maine Central, and Irving New comb of I’aogor, a brakeman running mi the passenger train between Vane l oro and ISangor. also occupied rooms ov. t tiie station. Newcomb bad retired and escaped from Hie building with only a little of Ills clothing. Mr. Knp t was a little more fortunate, but his loss will be heavy as he had made bis home over the station since it was built and lost practically all of his personal effects. The fire burned so fiercely that In half an hour from the time it started the building was nothing but a mass of smoking ruins. There was but little v.ir. i and this, together with the large amount of snow and dampness on the roofs of adjoining buildings kept the lire from spreading as it otherwfce would have done. The loss will amount to 5taion or yvnon. The railroad proper ty is protected by insurance and Mr. Kupea had a small insurance on his ••fil l is. There war. but little baggage in the offices of the express companies. Tho wires were pet out of commission bv the fire and communication between Vuueehoro and points west was not rc establish at until late Wednesday. Lewis F. Hooper of Ellsworth. HllswortI).

Me., Feb. 21.—Ellas 'Dobson, the victim of an assault near Howe Brook several weeks ago, .lied tonight in the Eastern Maine General hospital. Dobson was struck over the head w ith an iron peavey Jan. 1!>, it being al leged that the blow was dealt by Charles Dyer, a fellow-workman. Brain fever developed, but so great was the man's vitality that he was slowly re covering w hen Tuesday he suffered a relapse. Tlie alleged assault occurred, as will be remembered. Thursday, Jan. IS, at Klon dike, a small settlement near the lumber mill of York Bros., about 1- miles from I [owe Brook on the Ashland branch of the B. A. Railroad. It is said that it was the result of a row between the two men. Dobson, so the story gees, was fooling with Dyer, who is a smaller man than he, and made the latt* r very angry. Dobson stepped in front of Dyer, who, it is alleged, struck him over the left side of his head with the heavy iron point of a peavey or cant dog, breaking the skull in a V-shaped wound.

Blanchard. Frank 1*. Knapp. John X. Packard, Arthur H. Cooper and Fred E. Nason. The cau cus was the largest and most en thusiastic held here for years. At the suggestion of Senator Tillman the House committee on interstate and foreign commerce made an amendment Wednesday in the resolution which it has agreed to recommend for favorable action for the investigation of alleged railway monopoly of coal and oil. The original resolution provided for an investigation by the interstate com merce commission as to whether rail ways own the coal and oil. but it was the purpose of the committee to extend the investigation definitely to the alleg ed railway ownership of the mines and oil properties. To make the resolution clearer an amendment was accepted which specifically provides for the in vestigation of the ownership of coal aud oil properties. _ __ 0. OF MAINE.

Death ot Alfred T. Bard Shrouded in Mystery. Detective Fogarty Returns From Paris, But Is Uncommunicative. New York, Feb. 21.—Tlmt Alfred T. Hard, nephew of Former Senator Hard ot California, met his death in Europe by foul play was the statement by De tective Seifjt. John J. Fogarty, who re turned to New York today on tho steamer Zeeland from Brussels. Fogarty went to Europe six weeks ago to look for the young man, who had been missing for nearly two months. He brought back part of Bard's effects, including two valuable violins, one said to be worth 31000. Young Hard went to Brussels in Au gust last year to study the violin. Ho intended to return to New York on a steamer leaving Antwerp Oct. 20 last. His uncle, Senator Bard, was at tlie pier to meet him when the ship ar rived but he did not appear among the passengers. Senator Hard then applied to the New York police, who cabled to tho Brussels authorities and the search for the young man has been steadily pressed since that time. When the Eu ropean officials failed to find the young man, Senator Bard asked that Fogarty be permitted to go abroad to prosecute the se»rch and he was granted leave of absence without pay. As a private detective Fogartv was not obliged to report today at the local headquarters the result of his inves tigation and none of the details of the search therefore were available. Fog arty declined to make an extended statement. He said, however, that when he reached Brussels he learned that young Bard had mad" all arrange ments to leave the Belgian city in Oo teber. according to his original plans. He withdrew $1000 which he had on de posit in a bank there, but at the Inst moment decided to postpone his de parture for one week. A French girl, with whom the young man had become acquainted in Brus sels. was responsible for the postpone ment. the detective said. At this point Fogarty declined lo talk further about the case, except to say that young Bard was dead and probably was murdered. SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

Washington, Ceb. 21.—Chairman Hull of the military affairs commit tee, in presenting the army appropria tion hill to the House today, urged the necessity of complete preparedness as to our army and navy for trouble in tile H'ient. He declared that any nation not prepared to defend its posi tion in China might as well haul down its flag and quit the Pacillc. Inciden tally. air. Hull pronounced Minister Rockhill at Pekin guilty of indiscre tion in indicating to Chinese oflicials that the Cnited States ntended re turning the £20.000.000 sterling Boxer indemnity. Statements of this kind, he said, would be taken by the Chinese as an indication that the Cnited States was afraid rather than liberal. Mr. Hull scouted tie- idea that Japan was interested in stirring up trouble in China to injure the United States. Japan’s interest in China, he said, were identical with those of the United States and preservation of peace there was the only manner in which they 1 could lie maintained. Speeches on tariff, immigration and I the Payne customs houses bill con j sumod the balance of the day. Mr. Hopkins, Ky.. uncovered many methods of inducing immigration to the United I States, much of which he declared to 1» tin. command of a division and receive his order from fa junior in grade and rank. I do not believe that this is good military or ganization." Hull said that since it had become known that the committee had taken action in the matter he had received endorsements from many quarters. "I do not think it slandering." lie said, “to say that the war with Spain (has made more lieutenant generals than all other wars the r- public lias engaged in. "If I had my way." continued Hull. “I w ould provide that every President when lie came into office might desig nate a chief of staff who should have the rank and pay of a lieutenant gen eral. but who should not lie allowed to retire with that rank." Hull made an interesting digression 1 b* tip- situation in China to emphasize h,s position that the fighting arms of I the government—the armv and the urn i should be kept in efficient con ditlon to meet all emergencies. He hoped no trouble would come, adding: But there exists today conditions the Orient that make it necessary us to preserve our prestige, our pov and our rights, even to the extent being ready to fight for them.” In t connection Hull had read a newspa dispatch from Pekin which he vouol for as 'entirely accurate" which g. an account of an interview betwe Minister Rockhill and Mr. Xa Tu; president of the Waiwupu. Root hi it reminded the Chinese tl life Cnited St-dcs intended to r i, •-0.itfer.rf. j o'tnds sterling, its part the Boxer indemnity. Hull characterized tnose uiterences on the pari of Mr. Kockhiil as "inju dioious.” “1 do not believe that the rep resentative of this government had a proper conception of the character of the Chinese people.” he continued, “when he olfered them a bribe of 20, 000,010 pounds to be good. “They are people that in my judg ment would take any sucli oiler as an indication of our being rather more afraid of them than otherwise. “And it serins to me Hint a man oc cupying his position should have let whatever information was necessary come trim the government of tiie United States direct and not have giv en it to tiie newspapers.” JIni! read a lengthy i nter, whose au thorship lie declined to divulge, which rebutted the idea that Japan was caus ing trouble in China. Hull endorsed this view and also the proposition in the letter that the Hoxer indemnity ought rather to lie used to build battleships for the United States than be returned to China. Hull pointed out that it was decided ly to the interest of Japan to preserve order in China in order to retain her own markets in that country. China, he said, war passing through a trans ition irolii ancient to modern civiliza tion and while that is going on every government that lias business relations with her must be ready to protect themselves or elsu pull down their flag, leave tiie Pacific ocean and destroy their trade.” Hull, reverting to the bill, touched on the provision which would in the future make it impossible to promote officers to a higher grade for a day and then retire them. This had come to be an abuse which ought to end, he said. Tiie importance of congressional ac tion restricting immigration was the subject of a speech by Hopkins, Ky. “There is going on every day” he said, "an apparently peaceful inva sion of our country by thousands of people from foreign lands who come under the guise of friendship, which enables them to plot against our gov ernment. to inoculate our people with the noxious diseases they have, and to destroy the standard of living and wages of the American laboring man and drag him down to the level of the pauper labor of Europe.” Hopkins said the undesirable immi gration come from southern Europe: j Hopkins said the undesirable immi- gration came from southern Europe; that the countries there encouraged their citizens to come here for tempo rary stay. “The Austro-Hungarian government” he said, “has made a contract with the Canard Steamship Co., plying between Fiume and New Ynik, by the terms of which the gov ernment obliges itself to furnish the steamship company 30.000 steerage pas sengers a year for 12 years or pay a penalty of 100 crowns for each one short of that number.” During the year 190-1, because of the rate war. Hopkins said, other lines be side th» Canard made a clear profit of $2,000,000 on the Hungarian immigrants who sail'd from ports other than Fiume. This attracted tiie attention of that government, which speedily made similar contracts to that with the Can ard line, with tiie North Herman Llioyd. Hamhnrg-American line and other lines. Since the Cunard contract that lute, lie said, had paid the Austro Hungarian government 2J’00.oeo crowns and the North Herman IJloyd paid her 100,000 crowns during tin- month of March. 1903. Hopkins * treasury de paitimnl and received fees for such set vices in violation of law. Mr. Black burn declares that h*» has not commit tetd any offence. He declined to an swer specipeally the charges tonight, but will make a full statement tomor row. POLITICS IN MAINE. Senators, Representatives and Promi nent Republicans Discuss Situation.

The Senate committee on post otiices and post roads ordered an adverse report Wednesday on a bill entitled “to prevent Sunday banking in post offices in the handling of money orders and register, d letters.” The committee declared that there could lie no good reason for closing tlie post office divisions affected by tin* Dill ami permit other divisions to remain open. Among the midshipmen of the Fourth class who have been deficient in this year's examination and whose resigna tions the academy hoard at Annapolis will recommend shall be accepted by the secretary of the navy, is J.

He said the bill clearly provided for a regulation of inter state commerce and was not the assump tion of the police power of states. Rob ert Grain of Baltimore, general counsel of the National Brewers’ Association, ad dressed the committee on the Henhurn Dolliver bill to make liquor subject to the laws of states into which it is ship ped. He said this bill and others on the same subject contemplate far-reaching legislation which would be unconstitu tional. The hearing on these hills was attended by a large delegation of the Germ in-American Alliance which opposes any bill of a prohibitive nature.

The surface Is soft and along the west shore be low the bridge lliero is considerable el en water. It was reported yesterday that the ice at one or two of tho down river houses was breaking badly and orders from the Gardiner office of the Amer ican ice Co. were given for operations to cease. Work on the river in this vi cinity was continued all day. although lain in the afternoon began falling. The ice is still from 13 to 14 inches iti thickness, yet high temperature, rain and the lateness of the season ause the icemen to worry somewhat nbout completing the harvest. At the Theatre. Another large audience at the John son Opera house last evening gave evi dence that the Colonial Stock Co. is giving satisfaction to the Gardiner theatergoers. “The Bells" was pre sented and the great ability which the players showed in depicting the story of the drama was rewarded with hearty applause from the appreciative audience.

DAY’S DOINGS IN WORLD OF SPORTS. BASEBALL. Who Is the Best Paid Player in the Business? 6onernl Opinion Gives That Honor to Hapotoon Lajote. Eiyense of the Minor Leagaes—Notes Fro* Arond the Basis. Who is the highest salaried baseball player In the world? Thai Is an interesting question that has arisen since the report was sent out recently from Cleveland to the effect that Napoleon Cajole had signed a contract for next season at a salary known to exceed that of any player in the National or American League. Just how much Cajole draws down under his contract is not known, but it is aboilt $7.7)0 a season, which is ■within IliMM) of what the president of the lancest. bank in Germany Brets a year and is more than many American bankers receive annually. But the Cleveland claim that La Jole’a salary is tlio "biggest” is denied In other €*itfes. Without furnishing the figures to substantiate their assertions, Pittsburg declares lhat Fred Clarke receives a higher salary than that called for in Jdtjoic's contract, while the New York Nationals maintain that Johnny Me Orav. the scrappy one. Is better paid than the- Frenchman and the New York Americans would have the "fans” be lieve that Willie Keeler is paid close around $8000 per season. There are other names famous In baseball annals to conjure with, and it is declared by th"ir partisans that they also draw such princely stipends that they hesitate to make the figures pub lic for fear of exciting national envy. Certain it is that Jimmy Collins gets •'his" in large hunches and so likewise do Christie Mathewson, "Hans" Wag ner and "Bliody” Wallace, not to men tion several others. The names of the great baseball stars are valuable drawing cards, just as the name of Mansfield raises the prices In theaters where he is to appear, as the name of Roosevelt shines out over that of Parker, or O’Brien over Kitz. They are the follows who have "made good' who are at the top. Therefore, they are entitled to the to> nrice in tlio salary line. Baseball’s Hold on the Public. John It. Farrell, secretary of tlio na tional board of the National Association of Professional Baseltall Iieagucs, the offi cial title of the minor leagues, which met tn New York City last week, gave out some iHterestlng In formation showing the hold baseball has taken on the public from Maine to California. Farrell’s figures show there are now It? minor leagues under protection of the National Association. These ]eagu is paid out In salaries to the professional baseball players of the coun try. It Is figured that -Is paid In other salaries and In expenses of main taining the grounds of the clubs, about IMO.Ono In rallroud fares, about flS.nno ini training expenses, and postlbly fren.ofio in additional expenses. This means that approximately 2T..nn0.0ii) paid admissions must be received tiefor. the chibs' owners can break even in their Investments. BASEBALL NOTES.

Since the "parson" dropped out of the fighting game he has been In a state of tttilesence. lie made his "pile” promoting mid has lived the Ufa of a quiet country Sentleman In town for a short visit. This from Bill Dincen. and it’s another Tim Hurst story: One day in Cincinnati Tom Corcoran put up a measly Texas leaguer behind third base Hurst called It foul. "Dead fair." expostulated Cor coran as he came back to the plate. "Hit right on the line." "Veil, tiring in tin line." said Hurst. "I/et’it have a loot: at It, Tom." It Is reported nt Baltimore that Pitch ers Fred Burchell nnd Del Mason of th Baltimore Eastern league chib have sign ed to play with the Johnstown team of the Tri-State League. Mason came to Baltimore In 1904 from the Washington elub. which secured him from the New York l.enguc Both players were dissat isfied with the salaries offered them for next season. President Kbbets of the Brookl> n base ball elub is In such need of a good pitch er that lie has offered to trad.' a full nine, with some cash to boot, for a slur box man. The Brooklyn club has ss play ers on its reserve list, and there are du plicates for every’ position on the team. A ready made nine to order is a novelty, to say the least 1n the matter of base ball trades.

George Stone, the hard hitting nutfidd tr of the St. Louis Americans, does u k Wd any more admiring citizens to pre

sent him with sold watches. “Last year, when I was leading the league," said Stone, “a crowd of fans save me a sold watch. My hitting promptly slumped, and the fans said things about me ami my watch. I'll buy my own watches here after and keep the batting eye. Frank G. Selee. the former manager of the Chicago Cubs, who is staying in New Mexico, is reported c.s intending to or ganise a new baseball league. Realizing that he must stay In the Southwest. Se|e.. plans to organize a baseball league which •will embrace Santa Fe, Albuquerque and other leading New Mexican towns, and Kl Paso, Tex. Ho has received assur ances of support from influential men. The Chicago Nationals will start their training season or. March 6 or 7 with a short stay at West Baden. Iml.. after which they will cross over into Illinois to complete their conditioning at Cham paign. following up with a short series of practice games in Ohio, Indiana. Mich igan and Illinois cities. President Murphy, who has returned from the National League meeting In New York, outlined his spring training plans in that general form. The Montreal franchise in the Eastern League has been purchased by three prominent Now Yorkers, who are presum ed to be Frank Farrell, Clark Griffith and Joseph B. Gordon, all of the Highland ers. Griffith already has secured Huels man to play for Montreal, rnd it Is prob able that Joe Yeager and iMoriarity of the Highlanders will be shipped to the Cana dian club, with others yet unnamed. A new man will take Lachance's place on first base. Tom Loftus, who made a fizzle of man aging the Washington elub, is said to lie negotiating for the purchase of the Kan sas City franchise In the American Asso ciation. George Tehran, who owns the franchise, has placed a stiff figure on the team and that may hlork the deal. Te hran wants to. sell a tail-end elub for a 1-3-3 price. Bagebnll is so dead in Kansas City It will tnke several years to revive it, because of the cheese-paring polio pursued by Tehran. Manager MeGraw shot a broadside into Miko Donlin. the rowdy outfielder of the Giants, who was arrested for starting a disturbance on a New York Central train last week. MeGraw says: “Well, if Don lln thinks the New York elub will stand for any such nonsense as that he is mis taken. I will go out and play center field myself before I will tolerate it. Such actions are not only an Injustice to the elub, hut also a hint on the game." And yet we all remember what a good little bov Muggsy was when lie played third base for the Baltimore club. Earl Moore. Cleveland’s star twirier, who led tlie American League pitchers several years ago, w-ill probably not lie able to play hall for several months. The management is not figuring on his ser vices until the middle of the summer at the earliest. Moore was hit on (lie in step by a ball last summer and the old Injury is causing blm much trouble and pain. Moore’s inability to begin the sea son with the club will lie a serious Mow. ns lie has always shown his best form early. He says that he will sign his con tract next week. It being satisfactory. “Young Cy" Young, the Roston Nation al's slab wonder, docs not want to be an outlaw, but be may have no choice in the matter. He is the victim of a shrewd move by Frank Dunn in signing him •when Dunn had an option on the Boston club. Dunn signed Young to a personal contract to pitch for himself and not to a Boston contract. Young thinking the latter was the case. Now Dunn hasn't any Interest in Die Bokton team and says he will make Young twirl for Altoona unless the Boston club owners pay hack TOW that Dunn paid for his Boston op tion. President Johnson of the American League believes Boston has a good chance to again win the championship this year. “It all depends." says he, "on the con dition and determination of the hoys tin der Capt. Col'lns. It Is almost the same team that electrified the baseball world two and three years ago, and has tie advantage of passing through tiwo inter esting campaigns to the highest honor showing they had the staying powers to go the full distance when properly mov ing.

The men agree lo meet under prac tically the same conditions under which they recently fought, making 142 pounds at ti o’clock, and taking 50 per cent, of the gross receipts, split ting this between themselves, 65 and 25. Eddie Graney will be referee. Abe Attell vs. Jimmy Walsh Tonight. In the match between Jimmy Walsh and Abe Attell for the featherweight championship, which is to be decided at the Lincoln Club at Chelsea tonight a decision, it is said, will positively be given, no matter which of the boxers has a punch the better of it. There is much interest in the bout and a big crowd of sports is expected to be on hand to witness it. Walsh has a good following who would oe greatly pleased to see the Newton lad come home a winner, but when they consider that Attell has fought suc h men as Battling Nelson, Young Erne. Aurelio Herrera and Kid Sullivan without losing a de cision. they doubt the wisdom of the match. While Walsh has a hard task on hand it is an open question whether Attell can make 122 pounds in ring cos tume and be strong enough to uphold his wonderful ring record. PETER S.ULLIVAN’S BATTLES.

The yielding tendency in prices was du as much to lack of support as to anv active pressure. Transactions were not on a large scale hut the market was neglected and tile demand indifferent. The steady dribble of liquidation met nr important buying orders and there was a i marked lack of resiliency. Time money was noticeably affected today by ycstcr i day's development in call money. The immuitnce of a holiday for this market had a deterrent effect on way speculative commitments. The pay day for the London settlement also occurs tom irrow atid the tear of some trouble in that connection added to the disinelina i tion to trade. Sonic of the day's movi incuts indicated a. feeling of misgiving over the rumors of deals which have tieen so large ail influence of late. The departure from the city of President Hill without an announeem -nt of the suppos-d projects affi cting the properties of which he is the head was accountable for the sharp decline in those stocks. Less confident assertions were heard of th» alleged copper deal. The views ex pressed by th president of the United Mine Workers as to the chance of a set 1 tiement of the labor controversy aim were discouraging. The covering of short I contracts by the board-room bears tu take their profits on the day's decline mad” ti.” only force towards the late let bl rally In the market and the closing was generally easy.

Address all communications relating to subscriptions and advertisements to BURLEIGH FLY N'T. Publishers. Augusta, Maine. Thursday. February 22. 1906 More Light on the Canal Zone. If anything were needed to dispose of Poult ney Bigelow's extravagant charges and absurdl statements re garding conditions in the Panama ca nal zone after Secretary Taft finished with them, it is found in an article en titled, "Panama Without Prejudices,” in the latest number of Collier's Weekly. The author is Frederick Palmer, the W'll-known correspondent, and where Mr. Bigelow spent only 2R hours upon 1 lie isthmus, Mr. Palmer spent several v.aeks there and made good use of his time. Writing without a knowledge of Bigelow's attack. Mr. Palmer, nev et Un less, has answered it in a most sweeping and convincing fashion. He j has only the highest praise for Chief Kr.glneer Stevens and his subordinates, and for the great amount of work ■which titty have accomplished tinder unfavorable conditions. Hit feels that a splendid beginning lias been made upon tin* great work of constiucting the canal, and declares that the Amer ican people should he proud of the progress made in so short a time. He shows the difficulties that have had t he overcome and places large but pot undeserved emphasis on the un sanitary conditions that prevailed and the means that hive been successfully employed to relieve the situation in t! at respect. stall: tics tell the Sin’ y. “Of the 1700 white employes on I Isthmus,” he tells us, "four died in December” and only two of these from malaria, while of the L’d.unn men there, including all the 11 eg In employes, only out Ilf a thousand are absent from their work dally, as against j7 per thousand in the New York street cleaning department. "These figures seem incomprehensible to the man wiio depends upon first im pressions." says Mr. Palmer, having in n ind, doubtless, that recent manifesto based op first impressions furnished by sensational, hostile and irresponsible Impressionists. The measures tliat hr.ve practically freed Cuba from yel low fever have been employed hero and the outlook is very hopeful for the establishment of conditions of health such as the 1st limits has never known l« fore. "The while man is cared for ns well as lie is .it home," Mr. Palmer concludes, "aid the black man bettor than lie ever dreamed of." The rainy Stason is yet to test the complete effi oaey of these sanitary measures, but careful preparation lias been made to meet its demands. Mr. Palmer is a careful journalist of large experience in the tropics and throughout the wotlil and is as well known for his :ic cuiaey as for his ability. We may therefore accept his statements at their face Value. Secretary Slmw has been the object] of attacks on the ground that lie uses unjust iliscrimluatioii among national banks in the matter of the deposit of t la la Sam’s funds, and no less a |n-r Ibitti the Si-ringfleld Hepubllcan recently bail tt long editorial eritleisin of Ills altitude jn this matter under the .notion of ".Mr. Shaw’s pet Hanks.” Secretary Shaw has honored this attack with a reply which leaves his critics Unking very foolish. lie shows that when he look the office in lltl'l!, tin* government deposits in the national hanks amounted to $112. filitl.lMO, held hy 4(',j depositaries, an average of $”m.tVXX to each.

Probably tin* record for persistency In gaining an education Is held by a gentleman who will graduate next spring from tin* t'niversity of Chicago. His nano is Abraham Bowers, and lie was the lirst to apply for admission to tit** university when it was re-opened for bush.ess 14 years ago. Since that time In* has worked under many diffi culties through a course usually com pleted in four years. During the past 14 years he has been at the institution more or less for nine years, and the rest of the time has boon teaching and titer ways to acquire the funds for his education and for the support of his wife and three children. His age Is 27 years, and he ought to he old enough to appreciate the opportunities of college study and the value of a col lege education. This is hatchet day. It is also a goo,] day to renumber that one of the best things about Ob-orge Washington was that he newt slopped over. ■A Forty Years a Heroine. Will Carleton, known in every hone on the continent as an author and lec turer, has written for the press a little article under the above caption, in which he tells the story of one of his neighbors in Brooklyn, and makes an appeal to the people in her behalf. Her name is Mollie Fancher, and for 40 years she has been confined to her bed as the result of a terrible accident in her youth when she was one of the best known and most beautiful belles of the city of Brooklyn. Her case is a most remarkable one and has widely interested the medical fraternity for many ytuia. It is easy enough to be heroic for a few moments at a time, especially when the world is looking on, but few people have the stufl in them to live a f life of heroism for 40 years as poor j Molly Funcher has done. Here is her story as Will Carleton tells it and as it j appealed to the big-hearted poet who wrote tne “Farm Ballads,” and the “Farm Legends,” so we feel sure it will appeal to people everywhere. Af ter ti lling the story of her happy youth, of her prominence in Brooklyn society; her exceptional ability as a musician; her engagement to a worthy young man, and finally the accident by which siie was caught while alighting from a carriage and dragged a block j through the street, Mr. Carleton con tinues as follows; 1'hyslcians did all they could to cure her from the effects of this awful mis hap; but without beneficial result. Her case became a celebrated one, and puz zled the whole medical world. She was a study to the physiologist, the psy chologist, and the student of human! nature. .she became known all over the planet; scientists discussed her, only to gei still farther iiuo the mystery they were trying to solve, one thmg was sure; the subject of their studies was a hopeless invalid, unable to leave hei bed of pain, and praying for the mercy of if oil to lake her to Himself. Hut this, for His own good reasons. He was not ready to do. What those reasons were, we do not know; but it was apparently from the fact that the world needed an object-lesson ot pa ti-nce and endurance. At all events, il has had it. and has it still. For ten years—for twenty years—for thirty—lor thirty-five—and now tor forty years lids sufferer lias lain in that same room, upon that same bed. upon the same side of that bed, and upon the same side of the body lix ing because it is Cod's will that site should live. Net vegetating; not existing in a drowsy, or stupid, or petulant way; oil no! but as a cheery, brave, Industrious woman; full of love, sympathy, kind ness, and till the better qualities of her sex. i me by or.e she lias outlived the rela tives licit once soothed and comforted her long days and nights. Mother and sister long ag" went to the great far away land where they now await her. Aii idolized aunt, who had cared for the in valid as she would for tier own child, was called from her side by the grim hand of death. Her aged father, who had been a great pride and com fort to her, went on to join the wife and mother that had preceded him. Her only brother was taken from her by a railroad accident. One by one, favorite physicians and nurses have preceded her into the land where dis ease is unknown. Old friends by the genre are dying every year. Mollie Far.eher belongs to Brooklyn— to New York—to America—to the world. She may he called, truly, the most famous invalid now living; and she will always remain on record as such. It is in the hearts of many of her friends, to unite in a testimonial to her, to bo presented during February of this year—she having just completed her fortieth year of captivity to the grim helplessness rtf disease. If all tier friends and a a-.k help of any one. Hut her friends can sec that the life of an in valid is very expensive, even under the. most favorable circumstances; and tier J earning-capacity, which she has ex- j erted to tlie utmost, fails to meet the want. Indeed, she has earned more tli in the world ran ever pay her—by I tl.e example she lias set it. In tier brave patience and heroic endurance. Too often, such debts are paid only i wle n tlo* heroic creditor ties pale and 'cold in death. Too often the printed tome or the lofty monument attest the esteem and honor that were fully and justly earned, and which should have been sooner rendered, in another and a more substantial form. Mnllie Fancher will l>e quoted for centuries to come as one of the most extraordinary women that ever lived upon this planet. She will be named as one to whom the world owes such a debt of gratitude as it can never repay, if this opportunity during her lifetime goes by. j Let us all join in paying that debt. Let every one send her something of his or her abundance, at her home, ltirt i Gates avenue, Ilrooktyn, X. Y. Her friends guarantee that she will reply to every communication, in her own words and her own handwriting. What has become of the historic bronze statue of Lafayette given by the school children of this country to i the French people and said by the official records of our state depart ment to have been set up in Paris? The I tost on Advertiser raises the question and nobody seems to he able to answer it. The statue is certainly not in Paris, neither is it in Washing ton. Tli required Safi.Oft) was raised, but if the statue ever materialized it hjs mysteriously disappeared. It is true there is a Lafayette statue in Paris, but it is of plaster, bronzed over, and was simply a model of the $50,000 statute which was to be pre sented. Now that the plaster statue is disintegrating there is a call for the real one. The stamp collectors of the country are happy over t'ne announcement that Postmaster Oeneral Cortelyou has de cided to issue a series of commemora tive postage stamps in connection with the Jamestown exposition in Virginia, connection with the recent Lewis and Clark exposition at Portland, Oregon, but evidently the promoters of the Jamestown exposition were able to bring stronger pressure to bear than their immediate predecessors. Pittsburg has recently had several big fires which the department had mere or less trouble to deal with. This leads a local paper to declare that Pittsburg needs fewer fire scares of that kind and more of the kind of fire scares started by orthodox preachers.

The coming caucuses art* a favorite topic of conversation in most of the cities. The school children and the hank clerks feel especially grateful to the Father of Ilis Country. The Riddeford Record is getting worried and declares that every stranger set n in town falls under sus picion of being a Sturgis deputy. Another shoe factory is assured for flat diner, thanks to its hustling Board of Tiade. Riddeford has cut down its debt Hr’..100 during the past municipal year, and it now stands at $i'1l,000. Ten years ago it was $487,191. At least one of last season's Trolley I.cngue players breaks into the big league this year. This is Dickinson, first of the Augusta and later of the llalloweli team, who has boetj signed by the Chicago Nationals. There is a probability that there will be a fine. Catholic church ediliee erect ed in South Portland in the course of a year or two at the outside. The dio cese of Portland has acuuired a tract oi land suitable for the erection of a church and also of a parochial school building on the corner of Highland avenue and Ocean street. The loca tion is one of the best in the city tor the buildings as it is very pleasant and overlooks a natural brook lined with heavy trees. The Until Anvil tolls this story. A Itath to.ichor had occasion to punish a young pupil and had the offender out lx-lore the school to give liiin a strap ping. She delivered the blows first on one hand and then on the other prefac ing each with “This is for the lie. litis lor the had words,” etc. She finally wound up with a particularly vicious slap and asked, “Now do you know what that's for?” The little fellow, bravi iv struggling to keep back the tears answered, “Yes, mum, I gives that's for luck.” Key. Smith Baker, the beloved pas tor of the Williston Congregational church, Portland, celebrated his 70th birthday, last week, and was paid many honors liy his parishioners and fellow citizens. During his 10 years in the ministry he has held pastorates in Oroiio, Lowell, Mass., Minneapolis, Hast Boston and Portland ill the order named. His longest pastorate was at Howell, 20 years. He has been at the Williston church eight years. He lias married 142.7 couples. Speaking of divorce the Bewiston Sun says: “Look upon the court as a hospital where cases of domestic un soundness ate taken for surgical treatment. Many families are sub jected to painful amputations. Com parison with sound and healthy fami lies is not pleasant; but it is some times necessary to cut off an appen dix. or even a foot or a hand. And there is something in a book of great authority to the effect that it is bet ter to get into the good place with part of your limbs and organs than take the full equipment with you into the everlasting bonfire. Better lose some teeth than go on grinding your food with ulcerated molars. Exposed nerves in a chord that binds a man and a woman to each other may become so great torture that amputation is better for both. Probably the surgeons use the knife too much, and the courts divorce too much; hut they ameliorate much mis ery." Portland was the largest apple ex port shipper for the week ending Feb. 17. sending to all ports 11.356 barrels, while Boston was second with 57?6 barrels. \v York third, with 5346 bar rels, and Halifax fourth, with 506? har Porii id last w..k shipped u, ;.uC bands, as compared with 1M>5 bai Irels for the same week a year ago.

As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OP PIGS Is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists, and that full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on 1 the front of every package. Regular price, 50c per bottle. 1 I^UFQRNIA Bg^YRUP'(^| _ S*i\ Fr&f\ci«co. C>l. _ SLOANS liniment work for Thurston Bros, at Kast Pa lermo. Elmer Tibbetts of Palermo is at work for 11. W. Deafest.

Season’s Cut of Logs Is Estimated at 61400,000 Feet. The lumber operators In the country drained by the East Branch of the Penob scot river are now finishing: up a very successful season of lodging says the Bangor Commercial. The logs were cut and yarded under the best of conditions and there Is now plenty of snow and good hauling with which to get the logs to the landings. The cut this winter is larger than usual and it Is still a question ns to whether all the logs will be landed in season to be driven this spring, this de pending on the weather from now on. If the last of February and first of March pass without any severe thaw to break up the roads and flood the low places, ail the logs will probably be landed and there will be a big lot to come down the river next summer. There has been from 20 to 24 inches of snow in the East Branch country on an average all winter. This is not as much snow as usual but the snow has been damper than usual and it packed readily and made good hauling before the frost took the dampness out of it. With these conditions and others equally good the big crews which were sent Into the woods Last fall have done big winter's opera tions. The estimated out on the East Branch waters this season rearches the big total of 61,300.000 feet, ail new logs. The cut of new logs last season was in the neighborhood of 50,000.000 feet. This Kl,3C0,fi00 feet does not represent all th° logs to come out of the East Branrh next summer for there are from 10,000,000 to 12. OOf'.OOO feet of old logs which were lefi hung up last summer by low water. The list of operators and their cut for the season is estimated as follows and is probably very near accurate: Eagle Bake Co..

A warm discussion was precipitated over the following section of the report; “An innocent and injured party, hus band or wife, seeking a divorce, should not be compelled to ask for a dissolution of the bonds of matrimonv. but should he allowed at his or her option of apply for divorce from bed and board. Therefore divorces a monza should he retaine d where already existing and provided for in states -where no such rights exist.*’ The proposition was vigorously opposed by Dr. Henrv C.

ISeodtf STATE HOUSE. Coming Meeting of the Governor and Council. Lewiston and Auburn People Will Ffgbl the Brown-Tails. Many Automobiles to Be Added to Lisl Now Owned in Maine. STATE HOUSE CALENDAR. Next Meeting of Governor and Council Feb. 23, at 10 A. M. The regular monthly meeting of the Governor ami Council, for the month of Fobruaiy, will be hel.l in the council chamber tit the Capitol Friday, com mencing at 10 o’clock in the forenoon, and Governor Cobb will probably ar rive at tile Hallowed House, where lie usually stops on his trips to Augusta, this evening, coming up to the Capitol ir. the morning. It is understood that the session will be of a comparatively quiet nature, and that the time will be devoted largely to matters of rou tine nature. The only possible mat ter of a pardon nature which may come before the council is the hearing on a petition for the pardon of Fred M. Sta ples of Belfast, who is serving a term in the jail in that city for selling liquor, and on which petition a hearing was ordered at the last meeting of the Council. The grounds on which the pardon is asked is the promise by Staples that ite will not engage in the sale of liquor again, and on account of the illness of his wife, who is a para lytic. The petition bore the signature of about ".I of tlie ladies of the city of Belfast, and while the man has no counsel to represent him in the case, a gentleman who has taken it great drill of interest in his behalf is IJr. Ri mer Small, former mayor of Belfast. Staples has been in jail for some time, having been committed to 1-0 days imprisonment for one offense, and at tile expiration of that time wits re committed for 60 days on another, and u bile tlie matter of a pardon is schedul ed for the coining meeting of the Gov ernor and Council, it is possible, as the man has but about six weeks to serve before being released, that lie may be allowed to remain until the expiration of Ins sentence. 'The people of Lewiston and Auburn, in which prompt measures were taken last year in attempting to rid the cities of the presence of the browntail moth, are to continue the light this season, and it has been suggested that the cities this year will pay boys a small amount of money for every nest which they locate. According to Capt. E. E. Phil brook of the agricultural depart ment, it will take years to rid the cities and towns of the State which have he roine infested, and constant fighting will iic necessary every season for some time to come to keep the moths from increasing ii. number. To neglect the work for one sc-ascei would be to lose everything, and it is this fac t that the department is trying to impress upon the people of the State. An example of this fact was well shown in Massa chusetts where it was decided on ac count of the excellent work which Imd been clone in the way cef extermination •1 the- moths, to do away with the ap propriation. This was clone for two years, and the result was that the moths not only overt an certain sections of Massachusetts and spread all over the Stale, where the situation is now a serious one1, lint also found their way into Maine and even into New Bruns wick. The* whole Maine coast is in fested, and the moths have been found as far East as East port. If Maine should fail to keep up the light for one year, the result would he about the same as it lias been in Massachu setts, and It would take years to gain the ground tints lost. The approach of spring is heralded by tile increasing business at the oitice cef the secretary of State in the department devoted to the registration of automobiles and motor cycles ami the lic ensing of operators. The busi ness is not very rushing just at pres ent as might be expected with winter still in evidence, hut one or two ap plications are received each week, and the indications point to a busy season and a large increase in the number of automobiles owned in the State. At the close of the year the number of automobiles registered in the State was 706, and the- number of licensed opera tors !>S6. while at present the number of automobiles registered is 716. and the number of licensed operators !>97. According to the Maine automobile law tlie operators' license does not have to be renewed, but in Massa chusetts the law requires a renewal yearly, the fee for which is 50 cents. John F. Sprague, one of the well known attorneys of the town of Mon son, was a trailer at the Capitol Wed nesday forenoon. Capt. Harry Smith, clerk at the otlice of the State highway commis sioner. went to Bangor Wednesday af ternoon, to participate in the caucus in his ward, that evening.

Cony High Boys Gave a Fine Enter tainment in North Augusta. The Delta Pi minstrels, composed of tlie young men of the Cony High School Greek letter society, gave a very creditable performance, last even ing, before the members of the North .iiigusia Grange and their guests. '1 he attendance was quite large, and every one appeared to enjoy the excellent program to the utmost. The music for tlie minstrels and for the dancing which followed was furnished by Bal lard's orchestra. The interlocutor was SewnII Webster, and the funny end men were Harold Partridge. Ralph Smith, Raymond Carrick and Donald Metcalf.

In the olio, several pleasing numbers were given, and the star act of the evening was that contributed by Par tridge and Smith, who appeared in a very funny black-face travesty that quite brought down the house. Tile dancing lasted until a late hour, and the affair was one of the most thoroughly enjoyable and successful taut has been given in that section this winter. Quite a considerable sum was realized front the entertainment, and it was turned into the grange treasury.
