NO OFFICIAL NOTICE WILL BE TAKEN HERE Of the Remarkable and Strange Action of Governor Swetten ham at Kingston, Jam. HE SENDS THANKS FOR OUR AID. His Majesty’s Officials Tender Ap preciation of Generosity—No Word of Governor’s Insult. SWETTENHAM INCIDENT. Washington, Jan. 21.—Dispatches exchanged today between the British secretary of state for war, and the state department made public here to night. practically ignoring the letter? which passed beween Admiral Davis and Governor Wwettenham at Kings ton. have had the effect of relieving the tensity of feeling which had exist ed since it became known that Ad miral Davis returned yesterday to Guantanamo from Kingston with his ships which had gone to slid the stricken people of Jamaica. The mes sage from London is interpreted here as meaning that the British govern ment and people disapprove the action of the governor of Jamaica in request ing Admiral Davis to embark his men. The text of the dispatches referred to is as follows: “Hon. Eliliu Root. Si cretary of state, Washington, D. “Have read in newspapers this morn ing what purports to he a letter from, the governor of Jamaica. I can only say that with the materials before me I entertain, as responsible for the troops on the island, feeling of deep gratitude to American admiral for generous as- sistanee tendered at most critical time. (Signed) "HALDANE, secretary of state for war.” To this the following reply was sent: Haldane, Secretary of State for War, “London, “The President greatly appreciates I your cordial telegram and is glad of I the proximity of this country has made it possible to be of the slightest as- i sistanee to the stric ken people of Ja- i maioa. In this crisis, if because of ihis proximity, and pending the arrival oi your own warships and transports, we can render any further aid whatever, the President earnestly hopes you will call on him without hesitation. We know how cheerfully you would render such aid to us were the circumstances reversed. (Signed) BACOA, acting secretary ot state. Meantime Admiral Davis, who arriv- ed at Guantanamo from Kingston yes terday with tin- battleships Missouri and Indiana and the cruiser Yankton, is preparing a report which w ill be forwarded to Washington by mail. The subject was regarded as one of such del icacy that it was deemed advisable t» send it in this manner rather than by wireless telegraphy. Hut it has been already anticipated here by the publi cation today of the correspondence be tween Admiral Davis and (Vov. S’.vet tenham. While the general sentiment here was one of extreme resentment at the treatment of Admiral Davis, there was no otticial willing to express himself for publication. Acting Secretary of State Bacon wn= j an early caller at the White House, j where he was in conference with the President and later it developed that the President took the position there was nothing in the episode which would warrant the slightest represen tations by this government on the sub ject. and no representations will be made. The promptness with which the Brit ish government acknowledged its ap preciation of the sending of the ships to Jamaica is indicated in correspond ence which passed between See. Boot and Esme Howard, the British charge. Jan. 16 and 17. At the state department tonight it was stated that so far as this govern ment is concerned, the matter will lie allowed to drop, the department's posi tion being that the action of one man in a distant colony, at a time of great distress and mental anguish, should not be the me'.ns of raising an unpleas ant issue with a great and friendly nation. ENGLISH COMMENT. The Press Frankly Admits It Can Find No Excuse for Affair. London, Jan. 21.—Referring to the (Continued on Page Two.) STORIES BY SURVIVORS. Boston, .Tati. 21.—The first steamer to arrive at this port from Jamaica since the earthquake of lust week, the United Fruit t'o’s. steamer Admiral Sampson, reached port, today, bringing about sii passengers. The Sampson sailed from l’ort Antonio last Wednesday, two days afte r the earthquake which destroyed Kingston, and most of her passengers were persons who took passage practi cally in iiight from the devastated dis triet. Among the passengers were Mr. and Mrs. K. W. Anderson, an elderly couple from Philadelphia, who escaped serious injury, very narrowly escaping with their lives. Tiny were at a boarding house on Fast street, which is on tie north side of the residential section. The damage there was confined princi pally to that caused by the earthquake. With the Andersons wer» six otlieis Americans and Kuropeans, and across the street w Second floor at the time tl-.e big shock came, and was alone. The men were out on the lawn, and two of the women were sitting on the piazza. Thn came the frightful shock. The house swayed and tottered and. then one f the walls crashed inward, the debris pinning Mrs. Anderson to tbe floor, where she was unable to move. She lay thpre too cfcized to cry In lit In. but soon Mr. Gage, an Knglish mun. and lier husband, clambered to her. and ixtricai 1 her. bruised, but little harmed otherwise. "The suddenness and scope of idi■ disaster was too awful for us to feel fear," said Mrs. Anderson. "We had noticed a shock about noon when we were sitting down at tile dinner table, and I thought it was thunder, although t! skies wot-’ pereetly clear and the weather delightful. Then, shortly be fore d o’clock came tbe shock.

Captain’s Wife Dragged From Sea Half Conscious—Captain and Men Saved With Difficulty. Providence, I?. I., Jan. 21.—Twelve survivors of a terrible storm which raged on Pons Island sound from Sat urday night until early today, reached here tonight. One of them, an infant hoy, had been tied in a dunnage bag and hurled from a tumbling life boat to the deck of a dig. Another, a girl, 3 years old. also bound in a dunnage bag, was dragged through tile seas and landed safely beside her broth er. Six others. Including the mother of the children, with ropes under their aims, leaped from the life boat and wire hauled, half-drowned and semi conscious to the tug. ri welve hours later four others, the crew of a foundering barge, w. re tak en on board the tug after they had al most lost their lives. ri he survivors were brought here by the tug Buccaneer, which left Baltimore Thursday afternoon, bound for Provi dence, towing two immense coal barges, the Annie M. Ashe and the Montana, (in board the Ashe were Capt. \V. E. Lockhardt of Poston, Mrs. I.oekhard i. “Buster” Lockhardt, a boy 1 year old: Sehellgas Lockhardt, 3 years old; Alexander Knudson, engi neer of Baltimore; John Walters. Bal timore; Stanley Riley, Boston; Join Camp, Xorth Carolina. On board the Jim;:ana wire r.pt. T. E. I'a vis. Baltimore; Otis (Pay. Balli n.or..: Henry Slots. Paltimoi': Pete; Robinson, Xdw Bedford. The tug, commanded by rapt. T. o. M ton, ran into bail weather soon after sae h-ft Baltimore. The journey was not a u w hours old when a dense fog s t in accompanied by a northwest breeze. The tug steamed on until the fop became so thick that Capt. Moon finally brought his l>nrgcs to anchor off the Delaware Breakwater, win re no waited until the v. aid calmed and the fog blew off. lie then started outside again and when off the Atlantic Highlands ran into another storm. The waves contin ually washed the decks of the heavily laden barges and the situation became so serious that an extra watch was set on each boat. j At 1 -'."w o’clock on Saturday night, i when just below tlic Highland tight in the lower Narrows. Now Yoik, the Annie JI. Ashe sprang a leak. All hands were immediately set at work at the pumps and throughout the night and during Sunday morning the seas broke over the l>oat. leaving so much water on board that tho crew could not hold (la ir own ami they were finally compelled to aban don their e-fforts. when as they were passing the lower side of Thong Island the pumps became choked with coal dust, i A cry from Knudson, the engineer, gave the first warning of the in pending peril. Ti;e engineer had gone into th engine room to put out his fires and while there the inrush of water was so great that he was compelled t> swim about until his head bobbed through tlie hatch way. He hurried to ('apt. Kockhardt and told him that the stern of the bulge was gradually sinking and it was decided to lower the lifeboat. "While Knudson signalled tlie tug, Capt. T.ockhunlt told bis wife to prepare her self and her children for a trip in the lifeboat, which was soon lowered over the side, with Knudson standing amid ships. A painter had liepit fastened to .the rail of tho barge and after the boat reached the water Knudson struggled to keep her from being dashed to pieces on the sides of llio barge. The tug, in the meantime, had cut loose fi"m the. barge Montana, which hoisted sails and continued on her course unaid ed. "When the tug was within 100 foot of the Ilf ebon t Capt. T.ockhardt appeared at the side of liis barge earrving a dun nage bag to -which was attachid a long line. Tnside the bag was his little boy. It was lowered to the engineer, who placed it under the seat of the boat. Tn a moment the little girl, also bound up in a bag. was lowered over the side and she was placed alongside her brother. Then Mrs. Kockhardt with a rope under her arms was dropped to Knudson. The seas were running so high that the frail little craft was tossed a’nut like a cork and Mrs. Lockhardt fearing that her children would he swept into the sea. stretched herself full length across the seats under which the boy and girl had i been placed. The tug was by this time as close by as it was safe to Steam and Knudson. standing in the bow. hurled r.o on the crest of a wave lie dropped tin- bag overboard and the crew on board the tug, now aware that the bag contained a hu man being, hauled carefully. Mrs. Lock hard: gazed on the scene a moment and til. O di r.-ied bark int the boat in a hys terica! .million. The me a at the other ehd the line, h »w--v. r. paid out the “rope when the waves re -ode.! under the bundle and hauled with might and main as it rise on tap of the turbulent 'wa ters, and i:i less than two minutes the eel was hauled on board uninjured but almost suffocated. Another line was sent whirling Into the lifeboat, an.l this Knuds.>n fastenel under Mrs. T-ockhardt's arms. The wo man was dropped into the sea as her daughter had been, but her weight was great and try r.s they would the men on the tug could not keep her head out of the water. They dragged the woman through the so is but, swiftly as they had worked, the woman was half drown ed when she was hauled on hoard. The men on ihe sinking barge no.v drew the lifeboat hack to them and one afb-r another dropped into it. and when all were on board the painter was cut and the men on the fug began to liaul ill tl-eir eml of tlio line. The beat was now so heavily laden that li.-r gunwales were almost jfvel with the water. When half a dozen yards niway from he tug j Capt. Teoekhardt tied a rope under liis arms and was hauled on board the tug and each remaining mar. foil .wed his rx nmple, and while these rescues were be ing made the barge plunged beneath the waves. Capt. Moon Immediately shorted abend and soon picked lip the Montana and started for Block island. Tim.barge liud labored «o heavily while under her own canvas tha.t she, too, had sprung aleak. The crew was put on work at tlv pumps and she was kent clear until 1 o'clock j his morning, until just as the tug steam- ed inside tile breakwater Capt. Davis or- I lere.l his rrew to lower the lifeboat, the W’a'er having made so mm.i headway that the barge was in danger of sitik'ng any moment. The boat, was lowered and the men slid down a rope.

Washington, Jan. .—Few features of the spectacular were missing front the proceedings of the Senate today. The llrownsville affair was the subject of controversy and the day with the :m r.ounei ’.sent of a compromise resolution which brought both Republican and i Democratic senators together on the i basis of ordering an investigation of tit. facts of the affray without bringing into question the authority of the President to dismiss the negro troops. The resolution was submitted to and approved by the President at a con ference yesterday. Wiv’n the ••Harmony" testimonials were all in Senator Tillman took the floor and delivered a speech in reply to the recent criticism of himself by Sena tor Spooner. This speech began with a satirical picture of tne Senate as a minstrel show, which Mr. Tillman later I said was his first and last attempt to be “funny,” an attempt which at its ((inclusion brought a stinging denuncia tion from Senator Carmack in resent ment of allusions to him. This was preceded l y a serious reply by Mr. Spooner on the attitude taken by Mr. Tillman on the race problem, all fin ally resulting in a session of nearly two hours behind closed doors. The secret session was followed by a brief oreii one in which Mr. Tillman made a profuse apology to Mr. Carmack, to all senators whom he had brought into his “flrst essay in the line of humor.” j and finally to the entire Senate. “I very much regret that 1 ever undertook to ho funnv and I will never do so any more.” Mr. Tillman then withdrew all he had said in his “funny essay” and said it would not appear in the Record. This apology was at once accepted by Mr. Carmack, who regretted ho had quest! ined the motive of Ills .friend, and he. t o. withdrew words he had uttered in protest. Mr. Foraker made a final attempt to get a vote on his resolution but objection was made and the matter will be taken up tomorrow. Mr. Carmack remarked j eularlv that there were not more than 1:, or 2.) senators desiring to talk, and Mr. Foraker. feigning seriousness, retort ed hotly tnat the senator need not think the Democratic side of the chamber could monopolize the talking. Mr. Car mark explained tnat he was only trying to be funny, that it was his first at tempt and he would never make another. As senators were laughing heartily over this party sally, adjournment was taken at 0.15 o'clock. During the entire day the galleries of the Senate were crowded to their capaci ty and the debate was also listened to by seemingly a majority of tDo members of the House of Representatives, who occupied all available seats and stand ing room in the chamber. IN THE HOUSE Bill to Improve Field and Coast Artil lery Unanimously Passed. Washington, J.in. 21.—The House today pronounced itself ns unanimously In fa vor of enlarging and making more effi cient the field and coast artillery. An interesting political discussion grew our of the passage of the so-called "Po litical Purity” bill prohibiting corpora tions from making money contributions in Conner: ion with political elections. A hill was passed authorizing the sec retarv of ommoreo and labor to investi gate and report upon the industrial, so cial. moral, educational and physical condition of women and children workers in the Putted States.” The measure has already parsed the Senate.

The schooner struck with great force and at once began to go to pieces. Before morning the work of de struction was well advanced. The crew hi d a frightful experience in the turbulent seas, the print being ex posed to all the fury of the ocean. Thcy remained by the schooner about six hours after striking, which was at i o’clock, and then finding there was no other way. and that they were bkeiv ti be washed overboard at any minute, each secured himself to a timber and began an effort to reach shore. Mere by good fortune than their own endeavors, th. y soon were cast upon the Shore, more dead than alive. They sough: shelter in the woods close i by and passed the remainder of the night there with scant shelter. The weather being mild their sufferings were not in tensified by the cold as they would have i been most any other night. At daybreak they made their way to the Otter Creek settlement, where they were given warm clothing and a chance to sleep all day and last night. They were feolitig quite recovered today.

Years and Valua ble as Ever In this day and generation we are too prone to seek the new remedies and to neglect the old, and in this we often make mistakes. Further back than man can trace olive oil has been used as a remedy and food with most satisfactory re sult. Perhaps one of tile chief reasons why it has fallen into disuse in these times is owing to poor quality and adulteration. But when the pure oi! ran be had. properly purified, it be comes a remedy as valuable to us as it was to the ancients. Today massage creams are fashion able beautiflers, but olive oil is better. The old Greeks and Romans used per fumed olive oil baths, ar.d it cannot be denied that they fully understood the value of physical beauty. For the building up of flesh there is no food so valuable or so easily digest ed as pure olive oil. A small quantity taken after each meal will soon show remarkable results. But one of its most valuable uses is as a remedy for constipation, from which so many suffer. In dose of tabiespoonful. or les3 taken after meals, olive oil will soon effect a natural cure for this ill. Oiiv« oll Is in no way disagreeable if pure, refined olive oil is used. It can easily he taken floating on hot coffee or n little lemon juice and no unpleasant taste will result. Among olive oil there is none that has a better reputation for purity and agreeablencss than VESCA. This is an Italian oil that is refined in France and Imported in sealed cans. It is sold at BEANE'S CASH DRUG STORE in eight ounce, sixteen ounce and thirty two ounce bottles.

Many sudden deaths are caused by it—heart dis ease, pneumonia, heart failure or [apoplexy are often the result of kid ney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to advance the k idney-poi son 1,, ed blood will at tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel ing badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr.'Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and*' over comes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. Yon may have a sample bottle of this wonderful new dis covery and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kil mer Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

Dexter, of Worcester, Mass., stating that his wife, the donor of Foss hall, had uied at Worcester. Mr. and Mrs. Dexter visited the Col lege last Commencement and were the guests of President and Mrs. White. For several weeks her health has been failing, and a little while ago, when Prcb. White visited her at her home in Worcester, she was very lit. r1 m making the announcement Dr. Butter was requested to say that if it should become known that she was to erect a dormitory for women at Colby, the gift would be withheld. Three years ago last winter, however, she decided that the building should be erected during her lifetime, and it became her great desire to live to see it placed on tho beautiful lot on College avenue where it is now located. She presented $20, 000 to the treasurer of the college and FOSi HALL, COLBY COLLEGE. Mrs. Dexter was born at Wayne, Me., S2 years :.go last August. and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Phineas Foss of Wayne Hill. Following the custom of the New England girl of that time, she was employed in the cotton mill at Saco, where, like the many other girls engaged in the same work, she carried on her studies and made rapid ad vancement. Later she moved to Bos ton and was married to Mr. Dexter. Nearly ail of their married life was spent in Worcester, where they have a beautiful residence on Main street. Mrs. Dexter was greatly devoted to the interests of the church and educa tion. Many years ago her attention was called to the needs of the young ladies in Colby College. Several events strengthened the impression which she then received and during the presidency of Dr. Butler her intention was con fidentially communicated to him.

A notable address was then made by Judge Percival Bon ney, LL D., vice president of tho col lege and chairman of the board of trus tees. and the dedicatory prayer was of fered by Rev. A. R. J2rane, D. D., of Boston. The formal exercises of the dedication of Foss hall took place on Monday af ternoon, June 26, 1905. The exercises -were held in the spacious dining room. Prayer was offered by Rev. George Bruce Nich olson, rector of St. Mark's Episcopal church, and Wm. II. Snyder, So. D., of Worcester. Mass., delivered an address on ‘‘The Higher Education of Woman.” At the conclusion of Mr. Snyder's ad dress Mrs. Dexter made the formal pre sentation of Foss hall to the college through the chairman of the board, Hon. Perrival Banr.ey. She said: "My dear friends, I am very grateful that my life has been spared to be pres ent here today to witness the dedication of this beautiful dormitory. I was born in the State of Maine and tt Is the dear est part of the earth to me. I love ev ery rart of it. and especially the town of Wayne, where I was born. It is a source of satisfaction to mo that I have been able to erect and give to Colby College this Foss hall and that Waterville Is so near my early home. My father was n noble man. and I am very grateful to my oarents for the loving and careful train ing that they gave me. Every dollar that has beer, given for the erection of this building has been earned by myself. When I nvas a girl it was impossible for me to get an education. I left home while very young and have always intended to provide a home for other girls in Maine that they might have the education which I could not obtain. I am very hap py to have thia building called Foss hall. Qnd T give it with my love and prayerful interest to Oolby College to help In tha education of tho girls of my native State.” Judge Eonney then made a speech of acceptance, followed by a speech by Mr. William If. Dexter expressing their de light in being present and their happi ness in seeing such a beautiful building erected, lie expressed himself as fully satisfied with Its construction and with the splendid results which had been achieved. Tho Hon. Horace Purinton, mayor of W'atervIIle, then spoke of the appreciation of the citizens of the city of the gif.: of airs. Dexter. The dedica tory exercises closed witli prayer by Dr. Whittemore. Fees hall is a woman's dormitory, cost ing when furnished about $50,000. The main building Is 127 feet long and 40 feet wide, and i3 thoroughly fitted as the ad ministrative center of tho women s divis ion and as the homo of 78 young women.

(Continued from Page One.) “horMvW6 W°Tn CnMlwd 10 death thc!rli^l°n flameS COmpleted W ith Mr. and Mrs. Craig were Miss Lues:, of New York, whom Mrs. Craig was chaperoning. Mrs. Craig in nar rating their experiences gave some thrilling details. She said she was in her room in the Myrtle hotel and had just awakened from an afternoon nap. Shortly after 3.30 o'clock her room started to sway and at the suggestion of her husband, who is an invalid, she cr*wled under the bed to escape the Hying furniture. Somehow, later she and her husband found themselves in the street. They had hurried down a stairway and were thrown the rest of thfe distance in the midst of a show er of debris until dazed and bruised they stumbled along the highway, blindly heading for the sea. Mrs. Craig’s feet were bleeding, and as she had no shoes or stockings on. she suf fered considerably as she moved along over the mass of broken wood and brick. On the way to the sea many dead and hundreds of wounded were sighted, many of them pinioned under demolished buildings and others vainly seeking to escape from their prison, while dames which had started threat ened to destroy them. There was, how'ever, no time to succor the injured, as the earth was trembling, almost constantly, it seemed and they believ ed their only safety was in reaching the water. Mr. Craig wore a pair of slippers, but the journey had exhaust ed him. “I shall never forget,” said Mrs. Craig, ’the self sacrifice at this time, of a little negro from the hotel. He himself had been terribly injured in the collapse of the hotel, and wp found him beside the water front, his feet mangled and bleeding. He insisted that Mr. Craig should take his shoes and my husband put them on, giving me his slippers. Then we staggered on again, planning to reach the asylum grounds, where I knew there was a great open space. On arriving there, we saw that the sea which had been heaving back and forth, had now in creased in tumult, and we feared that a tidal wave might reach us even at the asylum. We walked up the hill to the home of a friend, but when we entered the garden, we found that our friend had been killed and the members of the family badly injured. That night we spent on the lawn outside, al though we did not sleep. The next day we stumbled back to the water front, hoping to reach a steamer. “On the way we encountered Miss Luez, who had had a miraculous es cape from the ruins of the hotel and had been wandering about the stricken city until she met her friend.’” Mr. and Mrs. Craig brought back with them from Jamaica a Jamaica girl, and Sam Taylor, a negro, both of whom had worked for them at the hotel, and both of whom lost all their worldly possessions and are absolutely homeless. Tayl(?r distinguished him self after the first earthquake, by as sisting many people from the demolish ed Myrtle Bank hotel, and served the Craigs by recovering a great part of their baggage and all of Mrs. Craig's jewelry. When told of the action of Governor Swettenham in his reported action in requesting Rear Admiral Da vis to withdraw the American forces, Mr. Craig said: “X am not surprised in the least. I knew Governor Swettenham very well both socially and in a business way. IXe was a delightful, cultured man to meet, socially, but in his business methods he whs at times somewhat pe culiar. I believe assistance was need ed at that time. Everything was con fusion. nnd the local authorities, though doing splendidly, were only hu man ari disciplined help of any kind was needed badly.” One young man from Pittsfield, H. A. Turner, saved merely the clothes he had on. He said: "I was in a street car when the big shake came. The car began to rock vio lently and houses back in the city went down, and then smoke began to arise. I didn't notice any gTeat panic. The na tives were mostly squatting down on the ground praying. The Americans and Eu ropeans pitched in where help was need ed and I saw some pretty brave -work done. But you could not persuade any of the negroes to go inside a house. “When I reached my hotel I found it in ruins. When I loft the hotel my room was on (the top floor, but after diligent search I found what was left of it down In the basement. I walked about the city and I got so accustomed to bodies lying about I did not think of ithem. I guess there must have been more than 1000 without stretching the facts any. In one short walk I encountered 400 dead. The native troops were all right. I did not see much looting and then I heard there was some shooting. I did not see or hear any myself.” a. Gutman, a shoo merchant of this city, said he was on the upper floor of a large large shoe storo when the shock came and of all lln the building at that time he alone escaped by sliding down the banister of a spiral staircase. Some Idea of the earthquake as a whole was given by W. E. Ball and AV. D. Jus tus, both of Asheville, N. C„ who es caped afiier a thrilling experience. liOrenso B. Baker, the president of tho Cape Cod Co., of this city, with Mrs. Ba ker was in tho Myrtle Bank hotel at the time of the disaster but escaped unhurt. They were In their lodging lrauso near the harbor when the first shock occurred. The bed collapsed under them. Then the building cracked and opened directly in front of them. They dashed through the exit and eventually reached safety. The Admiral Sampson, commanded by Capt. H. A. Henshaw. conveyed a hun dred refugees from Kingston to Port An tonio to which place she sailed last Tues day. The refugees were principally Cu bans and Englishmen. Capt Henshaw was automobiling at Port Antonio when the earthquake oc curred. The people of Port Antonio were In a state of complete terror and pros tration and the negroes flocked to the churches where they prayejd in a state of fright. The Admiral Sampson got under way for Kingston as soon as possible, reach ing there Tuesday morning. On the way the sea was greatly stirred and the steamer had to feel her way cautiously. Capt. Henshaw spoke particularly of the wonderful service of Dr. Evans at tho wharf at Kingston. Day and ndglit with out cessation he attended to the injured, j amputating limbs and caring for wounds CHARLES T. F. CAMPBELL, Who will lecture on the Blind and Their Work at the State House Tonight. The hearing' on tlio bill to establish an industrial manual trade workshop for the blind will be held before the committee on appropriations and finan cial affairs at 1.30 P. It., today, and this evening, in the hall of the House, Lhere will be a short public entertain ment by members of the Maine As sociation for the Blind, together with a lecture by Charles F. F. Campbell of Boston. Articles which the blind have made at the experiment station will be on a table in the rotunda for the in spection of members and others today and tomorrow. Mr. Campbell, wlto will lecture this evening, has been in intimate relation with the blind all his life. He was born and spent his early youth at the Royal Normal College for the Blind in London, which his father, Dr. F. J. Campbell, himself blind from child hood, founded thirty-four years ago. Though born in England, Mr. Camp bell is of American parentage and on his mother's side comes of the old Revolutionary stock of Massachusetts. His father was born in Tennessee and his mother (Sophia E. Faulkner) was the great-granddaughter ef Colonel Francis Faulkner, who commanded a regiment of Middlesex militia at the battle of Lexington and Con e,-d. Mr. Campbell's early education i:i London was under the supervi.-mn of his father. At sixteen he was brought to Massachusetts and entered the Con cord High school where he prepared for the Institute of Technology. At "Tech” .he took the general course an t after graduating lie went to Leipsto, where he studied pedagogy and music. Upon his return to London ho assisted his father as instructor in music and other subjects at the Royal College. Mr. Campbell worked with bis father until 1900 when, during a visit to Bos ton. he was invited by Edwin D. Mead to deiiver, before the Twentieth Cen tury Club, his lecture on “Seeing by Touch, cr How the Blind May Become Self-supporting.” The Massachusetts Association for rromoting the Inter ests of the Blind, which at that time was just being formed, engaged Mr. Campbell to lecture throughout the state and he was thus instrumental in arousing an interest in the subject, which later led to valuable financial support to the undertakings of the as sociation. At this time a temporary commission was appointed by the state to investigate the condition of the blind within the Commonwealth. After a year’s lecturing, Mr. Camp bell was ashed what recommendations lie could make for practical work along tlie lines that ho had been advo cating. He replied by urging the es tablishment of a station where those without sight too old to be admitted to the schools for the blind could be trained in the various crafts to which they might be adapted. In this enterprise he distinguished sharply between a shop for the em ployment of the blind along certain well established lines and a training school where any,,industry that had not yet been tried,'for the blind, but gave promise of success, might be giv en the test of utility. He urged the founding of an experiment station, and in November, 1904. such a school was opened in Cambridge by the Mas sachusetts Association for ttie Blind with Mr. Campbell in charge. The station soon outgrew its Cam bridge quarters and was moved to 678 Massachusetts avenue, Boston, where it already finds itself limited for space. Anything that ga.ye promise of success was given a trial and as a result new industries for the blind have been es tablished. Men and women have been fitted to work side by side with seeing persons in regular factories. so rapidly that his hands we re never idle for a period of over 21 hours. Capt. Henshaiw reported that a tidal ■wave imd engulfed Anneto hay and did great damage, and that Port Royal was under water and apprently sinking.

Publishers, Augusta, Maine. Tuesday, January 22, 1907. Gov. Swettenham of Jamaica by his action In declining the friendly aid of the American navy in saving lives and protecting property in Kingston, Ja maica. is plainly entitled to the prize as the monumental boor of the cen tury. Much sympathy is expressed for the wife of a Boston author who Is suing her husband for divorce on the ground that he kept her awake nights by read ing his latest production to her. The most pitiful feature of the case seems to be that many hours were thereby wasted which she might otherwise have devoted to the study of Browning and Emerson. Some writers have compared the destructiveness of the Jamaica earth quake with the eruption of Mt. Pelee which destroyed St. Pierre in 1902, but as over 40,000 lives were lost in the destruction of St. Pierre and not more than 500 or 600 at Kingston it will be seen that the latter disaster, frightful as It was. is hardly in the class with the former. Hartford, Connecticut, is made happy by the announcement that J. Pierpont Morgan will erect a splendid art build ing in that city as a memorial to his father who used to live there. No city of its size in the country is more fortu nate in its public buildings and insti tutions than Hartford, and doubtless the art building will be in keeping with the many noble structures which al ready beautify and adorn the city. Today Senator Bailey of Texas faces the crisis of his campaign for re-elec tion to the United States Senate. The Texas Legislature will begin its ballot ing, although the Investigation of the charges against him is not yet begun. J: is said that the anti-Bailey men will east blank ballots, thus postponing the electl(W from day to day until the in vestigation Is completed, Of course if Bailey’s friends are in the majority this opposition will amount to nothing and he will l*e re-elected regardless of the pending Investigation. The result will l>e awaited with wide Interest for Bailey has long been one of the leaders of the Democrats in Congress and be fore tin- tentacles of the octopus were discovered around him he was prom inently in the lime light as an avowed trust buster. President Roosevelt's arguments in favor of big battleships of the Dread naught type arc convincing enough to all those who want the navy of this country kept up to date and com mensurate with our importance as a world power. This nation cannot af ford to pay the penalty for failure to follow the pace in naval construction. The day has long since passed when arguments are needed In favor of a progressive naval policy for this coun try. All agree that a strong navy, well equipped and manned, is the best guarantee of peace, and reasons of economy and efficiency are found in the President's appeal to Congress to build a powerful battleship every year. The proposed naval program does not mean the development of our sea power beyond what it has been in re cent years in comparison with the naval armaments of European powers, but simply that we keep up with the procession. Tile friends of Niagara are dis couraged over the decision of Secre tary Taft who declares that “the scenic grandeur of the falls will not be effected substantially or perceptibly to the eye” by the present or proposed use of the water of the falls for furnishing power for various manu facturing enterprises. There lias been a general feeling throughout the country that the greed of the manu facturing corporations whose plants are grouped at Niagara Kails would destroy the falls as one of American’s greatest natural wonders. Although the country has the highest respect for Secretary Taft and all that he does and says, his utterances on this sub Ject will hardly be convincing. Even If there is a mistake in the alarm that the use of the water for water pur poses will not seriously deplete the volume of water running over the falls it remains a great pity that the vicinity of the falls themselves and the sides of the great gorge below them should be vulgarized and made ridicu lous by manufacturing plants. There are some things which the commer cialism of our 20th century should spare, and Niagara Kails, the greatest natural wonder of the American eon tinlnt is one of them. tm m Robert E. Lee. Robert E. Lee was a great Amerlcar and no citizen of any sectiou begrudge; his memory the tributes of love anc honor which the So'uth Is paying it or the occasion of the centennial of his birth. He was more than the greal leader of the armies of the Confeder acy whose skill in defensive warfare baffled for long and bloody years the hosts of the North until a Grant with a great army, which was a machine ol tempered steel, crushed the worn and wasted remnant of those who wore the gray. He was of the best blood of Southern chivalry, a scholar of broad culture and a Christian who knelt in prayer every day of his life. He had no part in the politics which brought on the war. He deprecated the strug gle from the first and realized that In the end the South must fail. Yet he so loved Virginia, his native state and that of his ancestors, that when peace was no longer possible he could not bear to see it swept and devastated by invaders and he threw his fortunes with the South. Had he seen his duty differently and remained with the flag under which he had served as a brave officer for 25 years he would have been made the commander-fn-chief of the Union armies and his statue would to day be looking down upon the public squares and parks of all the great cities of the North. The bitter passions of the war had no Place in the heart of Robert E. Lee. From the day of Appomattos the Union had no more loyal friend than he was. In the five years of life that remained to him his example of com plete submission of fortitude and of hope was worth more to the peace of the land than all the army garrisons in the South. Friends could not tempt nor foes taunt him into a word of re crimination. To those who hesitated to take the oath of allegiance which the national government denied him, he said: “Take it and thank God for the privilege.” To the many who urged him to join them in the South ern emigration to Mexico he said, as he said to an English nobleman who offered him an estate in England: “I cannot desert my native state in the hour of her adversity. I must abide her fortunes and share her fate.” To alluring offers of gain for the use of his name in business, he re plied as to Gen. Gordon, who wished him to connect himself with an in surance company in New York, “I have a self-imposed task which 1 must aecomplish. I have led the young men of the South in battle: I have seen many of them die on the field; I shall devote my remaining energies to training young men to do their duty in life.” Tile dosing years of his life were spent at the head of Washington and Lee University arid he was great in peace as lie had been in war. His body lies in the college chapel of that in stitution. It has been said that with a few more Lees in the South the war would have resulted far differently, it is nearer the truth to say that if there had been a few more Lees in the South there would have been no war. ftefore the war began, when he had re signed liis colonelcy In the United States army, "Save in the defence of my native state, with the sincere hope that my poor services may never be needed, I hope I may never be called on to draw my sword.” To a friend he said: "If I owned the 4.000,000 slaves in the South I would sacrifice them all to save the Union.” By vote of the American people, regardless of section, the name of Lee has been placed with that of Grant in the Hall of Fame. It belongs there, but long after that marble structure beside the Hudson shall have crumbled in the dust that name w ill live on in the hearts of a re united and loyal people. Ths Latest Religious Figures. Interesting figures regarding the present numerical strength of the va rious religious denominations are found in the latest issue of the Chris tian Advocate. The statistics are compiled by Dr. H. K. Carroll who has done this work for many years and who is a recognized authority on the subject. He explains that complete returns for 1906 are not in; that in some cases estimates, based on pre vious returns, have been made, and in others he has had to fall back on the census figures. He renews him com oalint, which has frequently been made by others, that the Roman Catholic statistics are not got at scientifically, and arc nothing but “more or less valuable guesses.” Ho makes the net gains of all our religious bodies last year 3,633 churches. 4.300 ministers and 870.389 communicants. "Th8 gttins are somewhat larger.” he notes. “than those reported a year ago.” Surely a gain of 870.38S church members in a single year is a sign of a very whole some religious interest in this country, and a reason for optimism. Which is the largest single religious body in the United States? The Ro man Catholic by far. says Dr. Carroll 12.231 churches. 15,101 ministers. 10.879, 930 communicants. The Methodist Episcopal body comes next—27.691 churches. 17.691 ministers. 2.984.261 communicants. The 17 Methodist bodies in the country have, altogether, i 60,352 churches, 41,453 ministers, and 6,551,SSI communicants. Their last year’s increase was 1,269 churches, i 1,165 ministers. 116,475 communicants. The gain of the Roman Cathplics was 417 churches, 617 ministers, 125,778 com municants. The 14 Baptist bodies have 54,566 churches, 38,010 ministers. 5.140,770 communicants. The 23 Lutheran bodies have 13,919 churches, 7,842 ministers, 1,957,433 communicants. The 12 Presbyterian bodies have 15,922 churches, 12,705 ministers, 1,771.877 com municants. The Disciples of Christ have 11.110 churches, 7,153 ministers, 1.264,758 communicants. No other re ligious body (or family group of bodies) reports a membership of a million. Protestant Episcopal communicants, 837,073, with 7,493 churches and 5,176 ministers; Congregationalist (esti mated), 694.923, with 5,943 churches and 5,959 ministers; Reformed (three bod ies), 422,359; Latter-Day Saints, 396,354; United Brethren, 286.238. It is not‘quite certain what Dr. Car roll means by “communicant Jews”— possibly those punctual and devout at the synagogue the year round, and not merely on Yom Kippur. He makes the total (orthodox and reformed together) 143,POO. Of course there are many more Jews in this country than that. An “authoritative source” at Boston gives the number of Christian Scient ists in the United States at 80,197 (an increase of 9,083 from year before last), with 663 churches. The president of the Nationalist Spiritualists’ Associa tion thinks there must be now 300,000 of his denomination in the United States and Canada. “His figures arc given,” says Dr. Can-oil, “but with some misgivings.” -4 Iftaine Gossip The Beauty of Snow.

With the beginning of the fourth week of the Legislature come the com mittee hearings and the grinding of the grist. The Maine Press Association and the Maine Clubwomen divide honors with the law-makers at the Capitol this week. Something of the winter steamship business done at Portland is indicated by the fact that three English steam ships which sailed Saturday, tho Norseman, lhe Cereona and the Ontar ian took out all told 23.17 head of live stock and 240.000 bushels of grains, mostly wheat. The sliippments of ap ples were very large and there was a vast amount of provisions, everything of course being reckoned by the car load. The itemized expenses Incurred by Warden Norton in the pursuit and re capture of Francis, the negro convict, are being put into form and the ag gregate will be about $1400. This, of course, does not include the reward of *100 offered by Warden Norton or the same amount offered by the govern tnent. It has been reported that the •warden would pay all bills from his own pocket, but it is highly improb able that the Legislature would per mit him to bear such a burden on ac count of what happens at any or all prisons. Westbrook Chronicle Gazette; There’s no use trying to hurry a lazy man. A woman in Macliias threw a clock at her husband and even that failed to bring him to time. Tlic probabilities are that the mem bers of the graduating class of the Brunswick High school will take a trip to Washington during the March vaca tion and forego the pleasures of hav ing a graduation reception in June. Principal Kaharl is strongly in favor of the movement as he thinks that the pupils can get much more good out of such a trip than they can by receiving their fri mds in the town hall and hear ing themselves praised for their work during the school year at the gradua ting exercises in the afternoon. The Bath Anvil tells the story of how a good Bath wife recently forced her tipping husband to take the pledge. The husband's love for convivial com pany kept him away from home until late at night and the wife with a groat fear of burglars always kept a loaded revolver in her sleeping room. On that night the husband went home with more than his customary "load” and after cautiously opening the front door, had the misfortune to trip on a rug and fall with a thump. In scrambling to his feet; he grabbed hold of the hat tree and pulled that down, the glass mirror smashing in the fall. The noWe awoke the wife who thought only of burglars. She seized her revol ver and then rushed screaming for help iifto the upper hall. Presently the strong language her better half was using, brought her to a sense of realization. Then indignation took the place of terror and with levelled revolver, she covered the cowering spouse. Remembering the neglect of years, her tongue gave vent to her jlong pent up emotions and if ever a

man got a lemon this one received a basket of limes. When, after mucli •writhing, terms of capitulation werf asked for, an unconditional surrender of his former club privileges was de manded and obtained. The growing business of the Main Central makes an enlargement of the handsome Union station in Portland a necessity and the work will be done this year. The plans provide for addi tions to cither end of the station uni form in material and style with the main building. The addition on the northerly end will be 130 feet long and on the southerly end 66 feet, mak ing the entire building about 500 feet long. This will necessitate the ex tension of the train shed 300 feet—170 feet on the northerly end. or to about 45 feet of Congress street, and 130 feet on the southerly end. The estimated cost of these additions is $125,000. The work will be begun as soon as the weather permits and it is intended to have the additions com pleted and ready for the rush of sum mer business. The enlargement of the station will allow of material changes in the interior arrangements and one of the most important changes will be the enlargement of the general wait ing room. A portion of the space now occupied by the smoking and toilet rooms will be used for this pur pose and additional space will be ob tained on the southerly end of the St. John street side. Work on the en largement of the waiting room will not be commenced until after the sum mer rush of travel. The new general waiting room will be 45 feet by 118 feet. Two additional entrances will be made on the St. John street front, one on either side of the main en trance. The door from this room to the dining room will be closed and a new entrance made from the St. John street side. MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT, Senator Frye’s Congressional Service. (Portland Express.) There were probably few if any of the members of the Legislature who voted Tuesday for Hon. William P. Frye to succeed himself in the United States Senate who realized that tho Senator’s continuous years in Con gress have already been longer than those of any other statesman in the history of the government, with a single exception. William P. Frye first entered Con gress as a representative from the Lewiston district on the 4th of March, lb~l, and after serving ten years in the lower house went directly to the Senate, to which he was elected to serve out the unexpired term of James G. Blaine, and where i he took his seat on the 18th of March, 1881. If the Senator lives until the 4th of March coming, he will round out 36 years of continuous service in our highest legislative bodies. This long and unbroken service by our Senator has only been exceeded in the record of Nathaniel Macon of North Carolina. Macdn entered the National Legislature on the 24th of October, 1701, taking His seat at the opening session of the'second Congress as a representative from the Mecklen burg district in the western part of North Carolina. After 14 years in the House, the last six as speaker, he was transferred to the Senate, where he remained until the 3d of March, 1828, when he voluntarily retired from public life after a continuous service in Congress of 36 years, 4 months and 10 days, a record that lias not yet been equaled. Senator Frye’s election Tuesday was the sixth time he has been so hon ored by his State, an honor that has been accorded to but two others since the beginning of the present govern ment 118 years ago. Senators Henry M. Teller of Colorado and John T. Morgan of Alabama have been elected for the sixth time by their states. Senator Frye will reach his 76th birthday the 2d of next September and will be in his 83d year when his present term expires, or four years younger than Senator Pettus of Ala bama now is, who is one of the most active men in the Senate.

Stall Boar! if Pharmacy Want* Liquor Clause Changed. Monday was another quiet day at the State House, but toward evening the members began to arrive for today's session. There is every indication that this week will be a very busy one, for Inere are a number of important com mittee hearings, in addition to the us ual number of legislative measures. By no means the least important of these wili be the Democratic referendum bill which will be introduced by Represent ative Charles W. Johnson of Waterville. During the week two prominent State organizations will hold meetings in the Hail of Representatives, the Maine Federation of Woman's Clubs and pro moters of the legislation in aid of the blind. The friends of the measure for the blind have been granted the use of the House Tuesday evening and will give a concert and lecture by blind ar tists. The Maine Federation of Woman’s Clubs will meet in the House Wednes day afternoon for its annual meeting and election of officers. This organiza tion has had the use of the House for its annual gatherings for several years and the session would hardly seem complete without them. The newspaper correspondents at the State House are feeling grateful to Col. Francis Keefe, superintendent of build ings, for the recent extensive improve ments in their room. The large tables in the center of the room have been re moved and a table or shelf built entire ly round three sides, giving more room and relieving the congestion which had become a serious impediment to good work. The system of electric lighting was also changed to meet the new con ditions and was also much improved. The annual report of the Commis sioners of Pharmacy, Charles H. Davis of Bangor, Frederick H. Wilson of Brunswick and Frank W. Buckman of Skowhegan, has been filed with the Governor and Executive Council. It is interesting to note that out of 113 per sons who took the examinations for certificates as registered pharmacists during the past year, but 33 were suc cessful. The commissioners have this co say: “We are pleased to state that phar macy is in a very healthy condition in tjiis State. Our attention has been call ed to several violations of the law, anil in most eases we have been able to ad just matters without complaint to the court. We regret that the money col lected by the court cannot be used for the benefit of pharmacy instead of go ing to the county in which the ease is tried. “Few matters have come to our at tention which we feel it is our duty to present to you for consideration. We would suggest for the further protec tion of the public that the pharmacy law be amended, so that wood alcohol and denatured alcohol he added to the list of poisons, and that the regulation poison label be printed in red ink on white paper. “We would also respectfully call your attention to what seems to us needed changes in Section 18 of Chapter 30 of the Revised Statutes. This section reads: ‘Apothecaries registered as here in provided may keep, under such re strictions as the Legislature may im pose, all medicines and poisons author ized by the United States Dispensa tory and Pharmacopoeia as of recog nised utility, provided, that nothing herein contained authorizes the sale of intoxicating liquors. There is a mistake in this section in phraseology, the Dis pensatory being simply a commentary on the Pharmacopoeia, which is the standard and also there are now in use two Dispensatories. There is also Issued an official work by the revision of the Pharmacopoeia known as the National Formulary. We would therefore suggest ttiat a change be made in this section so as to read, ‘all medicines and pois ons authorized by the United States Pharmacopoeia, Dispensatory and Na tional Formulary.' “The last part of this section reading, ■providing that nothing herein contain ed authorizes the sale of intoxicating liquors’, places many well meaning and iaw abiding druggists in a very awk ward and humiliating position, for in case of sickness it seems necessary at times that certain alcoholic liquors must be delivered with other medicine required in the sick room. We would re s’lectfutly state that if this provision could be eliminated from this section and some law framed with sufficient penalty to prevent unscrupulous per sons taking advantage, we as druggists would approve of Such a change, and commissioners would be pleased to assume any responsibility In looking after its enforcement, as such a law might impose.” The following general orders were is sued at the Adjutant General’s De partment yesterday under date of Jan.

AMUSEMENTS. ‘‘Marching Through Georgia.” The Maude Hillman Co. opened a three-night engagement at the Opera house last evening with the presenta tion of the miliary drama entitled “Marching Through Georgia,” and to a large audience. The drama was of a thrilling nature as might have been expected of a Southern story of the days of the Civil War and was present ed in a way which met with the ap proval of those who saw it. The dif ferent characters of the cast were well sustained ahd the members of the com pany won many friends by the good quality of their work. For specialties to take up the time bet wen the acts the company has one of the best selections which has been in the -city this winter, those who ap peared last evening being Jennie Ger ard, the prima donna soprano, who rendered several selections and was generously encored, La Belle Marie, a sprightly little maid, who not only did some good soubrette work in the way of singing and dancing, but finished her turn with an exhibition on the slack wire that was some of the best, and the novelty acrobats, Bailey and Picket, who did some great work and kept the audience convulsed with laughter. The attractions offered today will be A Woman in the Way” for a matinee and “.Van Patterson” for an evening performance. Lew Doekstader Thursday. The Boston Post has the following to say regarding Lew Doekstader. who comes to the Augusta Opera House, Thursday evening. Jan. 24: "One of the leading features of inter est to Boston playgoers is the advent of Lew Doekstader with his big minstrel organization. Mr. Doek stader has with him a chorus of 70. each an artist in himself. Some of tl.e best musical numbers heard in Bos ton in recent years are rendered in connection with this melange of song, fun and melody. The crowded house gave ample evidence to the popularity of the foremost minstrel in the coun try. The stage is most elaborate, par ticularly in “The Palace of Emeralds” in Part. I. Among the most popular "hits” of the evening were "Do Not Forget the Old Days,” by W. H. Thompson, and "My Boston Girls,” by Manuel Romain, who sang in excellent voice in spite of a bad throat. His renditions were highly appreciated. Other songs which secured encores were. "It's a Long Way Back to Dear Old Mother's Knee,” sung by R. V. Prosser, and “Can’t You Spend Noth ing Else but the Evening,” by Lew Doekstader. "The Rosary,” by E. Nevin and in terpreted by the L. Doekstader double sestet in a delightful and novel man ner, concluded the first part. After a short intermission, “The Hot Hair Subway,” a very funny bit of a "coon .travesty,” was staged, followed by “The Editor” with Mr. Doekstader in the title role. It is his newest and one of the best morsels offered to a de lighted and appreciative audience. It was “up to” the “Rapid Transit Up to Date” sketch to put the fun at its climax by the exceptionally funny manner in which it was run off and was a fitting end to a brilliant per formance.” Seat sale opens this morning. Peary to Lecture Here Feb. 7. There is naturally much interest in Augusta and vicinity and throughout the State of Maine, for that matter, in the announcement that Commander Robert E. Peary, the world's greatest Arctic explorer, will lecture at City hall. Thursday evening, February 7. This will be Commander Peary's first lecture since his return from his latest expedi tion, and he will tell the story of his latest trip into the frozen North during which he attained 87 degrees and 6 min utes, which is much nearer the pole than any human beingever went before. The lecture will be illustrated witli over half a hundred slides from photo graphs made during this latest ex pedition. Commander Peary comes to Augusta under the auspices of the Young Woman’s League of the Con gregational church, and the enterprise cf this organization in securing such an attraction will doubtless be re warded with a crowded house. The price of the tickets is only 50 cents with 75 cents for reserved seats, and tickets may be obtained of members of the League, or at Means’ drug store a lit tle later. The Mock Trial. Grand Army hall was filled to the doors last evening to enjoy the enter tainment given by the members of Henry G. Staples Camp. S. of V., for the purpose of assisting in the work of raising a fund to help defray the ex penses of the State encampment which will meet in Augusta in June. The program of the evening was a mock trial in which the defendant was Col. It. W. Soule, who was brought into court to answer to a charge of evad ing car fare between this city and Is land park. Judge Andrews presided and the case was conducted hy some of the best legal talent of the city. The trial was productive of no end of fun and all who went enjoyed every mo ment of the time. Quite a snug sum was realized and the members or the camp thoroughly appreciate the assistance rendered. Manager Cuddy of the Augusta Opera house imnounces that he has se cured out of the very best attractions for the winter in "Alice Sit by the Fire." which will be presented Feb. 20, by Mary Shaw. The officers-elect of Calanthe Lodge, No. 52. K. of P., will be installed Wednesday evening, the ceremony be ing conducted by District Deputy Ed gar Brown of Waterviile.

Associate Counsel Fees Amount to $4753.26. <The Augusta city government held its first meeting of the new calendar year last evening, transacted consider able routine business, acted U])on the decision ol* the Hoard of County Com missioners in tile Edwards tax abate ment case and heard the report of the counsel employed by the city in that case. After the reading of the records of meetings held Dec. 17 and Dec. 21, the report of the committee on accounts, 'approving bills to the amount of $573:1.7 65 was read, approved and an order directing payment of the several ac counts parsed. Mayor F. W. Plaisted then read the report of the City Solicitor Frank L. Dutton and of Williamson Burleigh, the associate counsel, employed by the city to collect the taxes assessed against the Edwards Manufacturing Co. for the years of 1903 and 1906. The mayor very gracefully complimented the attorneys on their success and ex plained that the decision handed down, meant a gain to the city of from $40ii0 to $6000 per year, over the amount which would have been received had the city accepted the $1,000,000 for the next 10 years offered by the corpora tion in the way of settlement. This means a net gain in 10 years of from $40,000 to $60,000 in taxes as a result of the litigation. The report of the at torneys was accepted. Appended to the report was the de cision of the board of county com missioners, which was printed in full in the Kennebec Journal of Jan. 1. On motion of Alderman Noyes it was voted that this decision be accepted as final by the city. Also appended to the report was the bill for expenses and counsel fees of the law firm of Wiliamson Burleigh, amounting to $4733.26. Mayor Plaisted explained that, though it was within his power to draw his warrant for the amount of this bill, the money to be taken from the emergency fund pro vided for in the city's charter which says that all unexpended balances of appropriations shall be set aside from year to year, to become a fund to be used to fight tax claims and to reduce the city debt, yet he wished the city government to pass upon the matter and thaf it he made a matter of record. On motion of Aledman Mower the bill was referred to the joint standing com mittee on accounts, together with all other bills connected with tax claims, the same to be settled out of the emer gency fund. On motion of Alderman Mower it was voted that $30 he paid the commit Report of City Auditor. Augusta, Maine, January lStli, 1907.

MAY REPORT. 4 _ Paul D. Sargent Presents State Read Problem. Tie Salimt Points of Row Bill Form Prominent Part. Several Malee Seed Betide re Tell Their Experiences. Paul D. Sargent, State highway commissioner, has submitted his sec ond annual report to the Governor and Executive Council. It is devoted largely to an explanation of the new good roads bill, giving at some length the salient features of the measure. A review of the work done in 1905 is ap pended as are also valuable papers on practical good road construction by the following Maine men: S. Litchfield of Brunswick, Robert McKenzie of St. George, F. A. Peabody of Houlton, Frank Allingham and Frank Burnham of Sherman Mills, on macadam con struction; John Anderson of Lubec, C. A. Carleton and H. M. Bennett of Rockport. J. F. Wilson of Belfast and E. F. Littlefield of Hampden on gravel and stone foundation construction; II. W. Gilman of Farmington, on sand hardened with clay; F. P. Sanborn of Standish on dirt roads and the King split log drag. An abridgement of the report fol lows The work of the office during 1906 has been conducted along the same general lines that it was in 1905. Early in the year the commissioner was called upr n to make examination and inspec tion of the completed bridge over the Schasticook river at Benton. Later on, similar service was performed at the Bingham-Concord bridge. In both places iirst class jobs have been com pleted. The first was built under the direction of the Kennebec county com missioners who employed, as their special representative and inspector on the work, Charles E. Warren of Wins low. The second was built under the direction of the Somerset county com missioners with E. E. Greenwood, C. E., of Skowhegan, as engineer and in spector. During: the early part of the year ar rangements were perfected through each board of county commissioners for holding the county road meetings. Considering that these meetings were an entirely new feature and that many were held on stormy days and at a season when traveling was the worst in years the attendance was very gratifying to tho commissioner. The meetings were made as informal as possible and one of the principal benefits of them came through the commissioners getting acquainted with one another and in small groups exchanging Ideas on methods of doing different kinds of road work. All through the year we have attend ed to calls for advice as they have been received from the towns. In a few cases special plans have been pre pared. but in a majority of cases we have found that the instructions con tained in our specifications for State road work drawn up a year ago have proved sufficient. We have always felt thet the roads of Maine suffered more from lack of drainage than from any other one thing. Indeed, we have recently been receiving reports from R. F. D. carriers in the State as to tho condition of the roads over which their routes run and in reply to the question “locate worst piece of road and give reason." fully nine out of ten carriers give as reason for bad condition of roads “no side ditches—water runs in middle of roads." We have kept as closely In touch With the highway departments of other states as was possible by correspond ence and have been constantly study ing and Investigating their laws and the operation of the same, to ham tho good and bad features of each law. The results of these investigations ha\ e been put into the form of a bill to be presented to the Legislature, a copj which is found in the report. It has been worked out after a study Of many state road laws already in operation and the aim has been to draw a bill applicable to the needs of the work in this State by taking what has appeared to be the host features of the several laws consulted and com bining them. In the first place wc have always thought that any state road law for Maine should be general in its scope, that is, so designed that every city, town, organized plantation and town ship might be benefited by it. We feel that the expenditure of state funds in each town should be applied to im proving the main artery of througli travel in that town in order that after a scries of years something npproach lng continuous lines of improved road may be realized. Again we feel that the commis sioners of each county, from their knowledge of the general business of the county, its highway system as a whole, together with their knowledge of the special business of each com munity, must be in possession of the facts necessary to enable any board or commission to make state road de signations impartially for the best interests of all concerned. Each year finds an increasing num ber of business and professional men from our cities seeking the absolute rest from care and worry which can only be found in hunting, fishing or driving as far away from civilization as It is possible to get. It seems to us that state money expended on these roads would not only benefit every class of people within the State but would also tend to attract the ever increasing army of tourists and sports men from without the State. The new bill provides for succeeding lines of state road to be laid out upon completion of the lines under construc tion. This appears to us to be the only systematlc way of accomplishing re sults. We also provide in the bill for an appeal from the county com I I I gmmrnmmmmm

Also six Roller Noye Mill Klevatoi y contract for as will be seen by section eight, the bill provides that each job of state road work costing over $1000 must be performed by contract. Section seven also provides that the department may furnish free of expense to any city not employing a city engineer, town or plantation, the sendees of an engineer to make surveys or give advice con cerning the construction, improvement or repair of its highways. The pres ent commissioner of highways, should this bill become a law. and should he be placed in charge of the work, plans to take core of the surveying and in spection work by employing local en gineers, employing in each case that engineer located nearest to the work in question. Our idea as to employing inspectors on contract work is not to keep a man constantly on one job, but to place as many contiguous jobs under his charge as he would be able to attend to an! see each job once every four or five days. This matter of inspection dur ing construction we consider of the greatest importance. As to contract work. In providing that certain work must be done by contract we are only following the lead of practically every state road law in existence. This however is not our reason for this recommendation. In a majority of towns in Maine the road commissioner has difficulty now in performing his regular highway work, and especially in doing the work in its proper season on account of the inability of the commissioner to se cure labor. We believe that the proposed bill provides for a larger expenditure of state road funds in every town than has been the case before, consequently, a more perfect organization and more systematic methods must be sought through v hich to make these expendi tures. The contractor with his organ ized force, trainmen foremen and im proved machinery offers a solution to the problem. Furthermore, road building is as much a trade or profession as is any other line of construction work, and if we are going to progress in this line of work, let us go about it in a business fashion. Let us follow the example set by railroads and other business corporations of doing con struction work by contract. Our bill provides that tiwns may bid on work located within their limits. Thus tow-ns are granted the same privilege which they now enjoy of doing their own state road work, provided only that they will agree to do the work at as low a price as will some contractor. If towns cannot meet the prices named by a contractor they must acknowl edge that they will get more for their money under the contract system than under the system of doing work themselves. We desire to call attention to the method of making payments of state aid to towns, called for oy this bill. W e have never liked the present sys tem of compelling towns to carry 'he tate s share of the cost of the work until January 1st next after the work was performed. It seems as though this work should be paid ior like any other transaction—on completion. See tion nine of the bill so provides. Anothsr very important matter which our present law says nothing about is the maintenance of state roads. From the fact that our law refers to the improvement of these roads as permanent improvements," any people have, without giving the matter particular thought, decided at once that there would be no necessity of further work upon them after they "ere improved. Maintenance or prop er care is what keeps anything good. State roads are no exception to this general rule. We know that road commissioners in some towns have been severely criticised for resurfacing and otherwise repairing State roads. A e do not believe any commissioner has made unnecessary repairs on State roads. We believe that many sections of State road are in need of slight re pairs which if made will save many times their cost and at the same time keep the roads continually good. With this provision in the law, commissioners would have no hesitation about mak ing repairs. We hope the day is not iar distant when towns will realize the value of careful and systematic main tenance of highways. We are con vinced that for the amount of money now expended on maintenance work under the system of annual repairs, much more satisfactory results would be obtained if a certain percentage of the money raised each year was used in thoroughly reconstructing some sec tion of road and the balance used In maintaining that same section of road together with all other roads in the town by a system of daily, weekly or monthly maintenance. As will be seen by referring to the financial statement accompanying this bill, the sum of JSS4.135 Is necessary to meet the payment of State aid under Us provisions, if all cities, towns. plantations and townships should see fit to apply for State aid in any one year. As an increasing number of towns have taken advantage of the present law' each year it is not unrea sonable to suppose that with the added impetus of more liberal treatment of the towns by the State the number of towns taking advantage of the law will steadily increase until at no distant date all towns will make appropria tions and apply for State aid. For providing funds to enable the State to meet its payments under the bill a tax of 1 mill is called for. We do not know what the new State valuation will be, but have been ad vised that a mill tax would probably yield $40,000 more than the amount named at the beginning of this para graph as necessary to pay State aid. It should be borne in mind that our bill provides that all expenses of ad ministration are to be paid out of the appropriation and furthermore that any unexpended balance of the fund, after paying these expenses and State aid, may be expended' by the State1 commissioner in building connecting lines of highway between State roads as designated by the county commis sioners. The amount so expended must be apportioned among the coun ties in the proportion which their total read mileage bears to the total road mileage in the State. What does comparison show? We have had a State road law since l»0t. Our area exclusive of water is 29,895 square miles; valuation, 1904, was $3C6 514,014; population 694,486; we have 25^ 530 miles of highway or 0.854 miles or highway per square mile of area- an assessed valuation per mile of highway °5 ?1I4'i*5C: and 272 inhabitants per mile Of highway.

Rheumatism Tortured and Crippled Mr. Theo. D. Hadley of Kennett Square, Pa. I i Dear Friend: You will remember of my writing you some time ago regarding Uric-O for rheumatism. I took your advice and purchased three bottles from rny local druggist, and began its use at once. Favorable effects were exper ienced and day by day I improved. I have used the three bottles and can truthfully state that I am a well man. Fric-O has cured in me as bad a case of rheumatism ns ever existed. My suffering for months was intense, some nights not able to get one mo ment's sleep, could not raise my right hand to my head—had to do all with my left. I could not even dress my self for over three months. My trouble being Inflammatory rheumatism had settled in my right arm and shoulder crippling, as I thought, permanently. This is the third letter I have written, 4 thing 1 hardly expected to be able to do again, as I did not think I could possibly recover from the ter rible efTects of the disease, as you know 1 am past the four score year on the way to the "New Jerusalem.” I am happy to state that after suffering so long with the most painful forms of rheumatism, that Uric-O has cured me and nearly normal conditions exist. My former strength is improving, and yet for all I am S5 years old. sleep well again, eat well and as hale and hearty as a man of the age of fifty. 1 thank you again most heartily for recom mending Uric-O to me. X can now recommend it to my friends. Thco. K. Hadley, Ivennett Square, Pa. This marvelous specific is sold at 75 cents a bottle, two weeks' treatment; a blood oure for all forms of rheumatism, acting alone on the blood, muscles and kidneys. Uric-O is a liquid taken in spoonful doses three times daily and must be used for rheumatism only. Ask your druggist for samples and circulars explaining the treatment. The store of Percy W. Means is the Uric-O store in Augusta.

(Continued from Page Eight.) 1WG was $30,000 or a State tax of $.00013—loss than one-fourth of New Hampshire’s, about one-fourth of Ver mont's for the last 14 years and about one-eighth of Vermont's since their new law passed in November. If we were doing as much for State highways as New Hampshire is, we should have a State appropriation of at least $21.3,000 based on our probable new valuation; if we are to do as much iot* State, highways ns Vermont will do next year we should have an appro priation of approximately $400,000 or a tax of 1 mill on each dollar of valua tion of the State. The remaining sections of the bill, from section fifteen to the end. im pose upon the State commissioner of highways in connection with his duty of supervising the State road work all 'lie duties now imposed upon the orliee. including the holding of annual county road meetings. The idea lias been to have enacted a j State highway law combining the good features of our present State road law. the law under which the commission er of highways is working, and such additions and supplements to the two i mws as would give to the State a com letc and up-to-date law which might he found without referring to several volumes of acts.
