Principal Ward Explains Before Dexter Teacher’s Meeting. Idea Makes Hit and May Be Tried In Other Schools. Dexter, Me., Feb. 13.— (Special).—An Interesting meeting of school teachers ■was held in the new building on Pleas ant street this afternoon. Tho meet ing was largely attended by not only the teachers of this village but many from Dover, i'oxcroft and Guilford. All of the local schools were closed on account of the meeting and the teach ers were given an opportunity to at tend or to have the afternoon to them selves. Among the principal speakers pres ent were Principal Fred U. Ward of Foxcroft Academy, Prof. Whitney J. Hideout of that school and William II. Sturtevant of the Dover-Foxcroft school district. Local speakers were Kev, Fr. John Houlihan of the school committee, Supt. Finest L. Palmer of the Dexter-Guilford school district and Rev. B. O. SVaboyer, pastor of the local Methodist Fpiscopal church. The most interesting part of the af ternoon’s proceedings was the address by Principal Ward of Foxcroft Acad emy, in which he explained in detail the workings of the Foxcroft Academy school city, which has been in force in that school for the past year or more. Principal Ward secured his idea of school city government from a newspaper clipping which contained an account of a school of Russian Jews in Chicago which was being governed by the method. It struck him favorably and he worked out in bis mind a plan of his own which in due time he sug gested to the trustees of the school and received permission to try it. The system was given a trial and after some changing about to meet the demands of the schools it has been de clared an unqualified success. The en tire school is divided off into wards, each ward having its aldermen. These aldermen transact the city’s business as in any well governed city. The students elect aldermen, city clerk, mayor, police officers, board of par dons, Justices and in fact all the officers to be found in any city. The teachers are simply voters and have no more power than does the youngest student. The school city has a constitution and by-laws as well as a charter. The rules are strictly en forced. Should any of the students break a rule he is brought before the court and a trial held. lie is entitled to be defended by an attorney while the case is prosecuted by the city at torney. Should the jury find him guilty he is sentendbd by the court. There are several methods of punish ment and all of them are sufficiently severe so that once a student is pun ished he is likely to remember it. The system thus far has worked ex cellently. The students take an inter est and pride In the school city and the majority obey the rules to the letter. The trustees claim the system saves the hire of an extra teacher for at no time during the day sessions is a teacher needed in the study room, where 150 students sit. A visit shows perfect order and no more noise and confusion than one could find in any school of so many students. The Koxcroft school city was the first organized in this State and it has worked so successfully that similar systems have b strength of government, but in the happiness and the opportunity of each individual citizen, a thing far preferable, far more to be desired than the triumph of war or the empty glories of imperial dominion.” The speech was loudly applauded. Ciunmpacker of Indiana said he fa 1 vored. tlie big ships for the protection of the Philippines. "I believe,” he said. "that the Philippines are the sword of Damocles hanging over the head of this republic.” and he contended that they impose a responsibility which wo should be prepared to meet in the right way. Considerable interest was aroused by Bongworth ol' Ohio, who said that while very gem'rally he relied on the good judgment of his colleague (Burton) in this particular ease he was obliged to disagree with him, "and yield to the opinion of a higher authority,” espe cially. he proceeded, as the opinion of that "higher authority” agreed wltii ins own. I,ongwcrth said the adoption of Bur ton's atm ndmer.t would be an an nouncement to the world tiiat we have taken a backward step. Siayden of Texas spoke in favor of international arbitration and the re duction of armament. Underwood of Alabama, in support ing an amendment, opposed the build ing of big battleships, but insisted that submarine boats should be built for coast defence purposes. Sulzer of New York presented an amendment to the amendment of Bur ton. of Ohio providing that one of the two battleships authorized in the Oil! should be btiill at the New York navy yard. JIo supported the recommenda tion for two battleships, insisting that tlte ship to be built at the New York yard if his amendment be adopted, should have :t tonnage of 22,500 tons, and a spew r^ienuiiig, noy, "on wars wo have hail ami wars wo arc hunting for, a larger proportion of our revenues than any other nation on tlie face of the earth. In 1905, the government of the I'nited States expond eil r>7 per cent, of its aggregate revenues, exclusive of postal receipts, on account of wars ami warlike preparations. The only government which approaches our expenditures was Great Britain, whose expenditure was -1! per cent, of her rev enues. “We are. during the current fiscal year, expending ns a. necessary consequence of carrying arms about C2 per cent, of our revenues, exelusive or the postal serviee, and this expenditure is necessary an nually." Hull of Town took a pronounced stand against the amendment of Burton. He said that there was an impression abroad that the bill authorized two battleships, when as a matter of fact the bill only auth >rized one Fhip of the type author ized in last year's bill. Referring to n contention by Burton that the isolation of the I'niteil Stales is the l.est protec tion. Hull said that “He seemed to have forgotten the events of the last eight years when our splendid isolation was left behind, with the result that our flag n iw touches the interests of the world at so many points that we are in longer an isolated nation. He said that pre paredness was the best argument for peace and that he was in favor of fight ing for peiee if necessary. Kitchen. X. C.. favored the amendment of Burton, and Grosvenor, Ohio, spoke in favor of an increased navy. Foss, III., closed the debate against the amendment of Burton. In a viva voice vote, the Burton amendment was defeated 10c to 122. On a vote by tellers the opposition increased their majority .and the vote stood: Ayes 111. riocs Hfi. The amendment offered by Sulzer of New York, defining the size and type of battleship and stipulating that it should b built, in a government navy yard at New York, was defeated. An amendment was adopted limiting to Jsml.ooi) each the cost of the two torpedo boat destroyers authorized in the bill, exclusive of armament. Another amendment was adopted pro viding that on the vessels authoiized in last year's lull, as well as in this year's, “not more than one hatileship and one torpedo boat destroyer or two torpedo boats shall be built by one contracting party.” Both these amendments were presented by the chairman of the com mittee, Mr. Foss.

Washington, Feb. 15.—The enormous growth in American trade with its non-eontiguious territories in the last calendar year as contrasted with the proceeding one. is shown in figures compiled by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor made publm today. In value this com merce aggregated $131,000,000 compared with less than $100,000,000 in 1904. Of this trade $59,000,000 in round num bers consisted of merchandise shipped to those territories and $72,000,000 worth of nu rchandise received from them. In addition to this, there was received from the Alaskan territory over 1S, 5.UO.OOO worth of gold, being its own pro duction and $$,500,000 of foreign gold, principally from the Kritish territory adjacent. of the $59,000,000 worth of merchan dise sent to tile non-contiguous terri tories about $22,000,000 worth went to Porto Rico; $17,500,000 to Alaska; $12, 500,000 to Hawaii and $7,000,000 to the Philippines. These foreign figures show how American shipments of merchan dise have increosefl in 19CG as compared with 1901; Porto Rico front $12,000,000 to $22,000,000; Alaska from $11,500,000 to $17.5(10.('00; Hawaii from $11,000,000 to $12,500,000; and to the Philippines from $5,000,000 to a little over $7,000,000. Shipments of merchandise from non contiguous territories to the United States during the same peroid have in creased as follows; Hawaii $25,500,000 to nearly $30,000, 050; Porto Rico from $13,000,000 to $20, 55.0,000; Alaska from $10,500,000 to #12, 000.000 while in the case of the Philip pines there is shown a slight reduction. Of gold received from Alaska the total of domestic production was in loot, a little- over $9,000,000 and in 190C, IS,500,000. CONDENSED DISPATCHES. Directors of the Standard Oil Co.

I., Feb. 13.—There will be no inquest into the cause of the appalling sound disaster held on this island according to a statement which Coroner Daniel Mott of New Shoreliain made today. Coroner Mott says that he is firmly convinced that the collision and wreck was due to an accident and says he will not proceed with an inquest unless he is ordered to do so by Medical Examiner Champ, lin or the attorney general.

Drugs That Cure How the Peoples Interests !g Safe guarded at BEANE'S Drug Store. It is of the utmost importance to the sick that the remedies they use should be of the highest possible quality. With this object in view it has al ways been the policy at Beane's Drug Store to obtain the very best medicines without regard to cost, and so they have been aptly called “Drugs that cure” at BEANE'S they never buy bargains in drugs. In fact cost is rot considered but the only question is “Wbat is best?” If there is any one maker of a particular medicine whose product Is recognized as superior, then that remedy is selected. This same policy dominates the entire prescription and drug department of this store and makes it a ding store that has the res pect. and confidence of the public. When it comes to prescription mak ing none but the best drugs are good enough. This policy does not neces sarily mean high prices to the customer for in prescription work price is largely a matter ot conscience. As of necessity there can be riu fixed prices on prescriptions owing to their variable character the customer must depend upon the integrity and trust worthiness of his druggist. All that ran be said is that at BEANE'S you get a “square deal” in the price and quality of your prescription and “Drugs that cum.” We are Agents for Apollo Chocolates, Com Junior Safety Razors, COOPER'S Celebrated Rem-dios.

Start Concerted Effort to Over throw Clemenceau Ministry. Measure Seems In Principle to Have Popular Support. Pari?. Fi b. IS.—It is increasingly evi dent that the financial interests intend to make a la-st-diu ii fight against pro posed income tax measure and there are suspicions that they are trying to biing about the downfall of the cabinet in order to onipli“h their purpose. The unexpectedly adverse vote in the Senate last night, following the debate upon the supplmentary separation hi!!, the rapid enartm«nt of iiioh v.as sought by th. go\ rn:u *:;t but which the m nafots by a v- of PIS t" j'-’S re ferred back to the committee for fur ther con d l ration, was inspired more by opposition to the income tax than disapproval of the government's bn! whi.it provides for the suppression of declared n- of int- ntions to hold public meetjngs. 'i'iie income tax. .specially its in quisitorial features, continues to be the subject of tie* most violent criticism, th*- press with the exception of the Radical Socialistic papers and the Kciair boldly jrrinting a series of arti los instructing taxpayers how to i vade the law. All the newspapers op posing the income tax are making much of the dissentions in the cabinet but i.i principle the income tax seems to have popular support and the pres ent campaign to undermine the cabi net is consider.* 1 more iikelv to j strengthen than weaken tin* govern ment’s positioti in Parliament. The agreement between Education Min ister Eryand and the church authorities here on the form of the contracts for the lease of the churches of Paris to the parish pritsts will, if reached, only be come legally binding on the prefects of the various departments. While it is certain that 'J~> per cent, of the mayors and municipal councils will accept the Paris form of contract, it cannot be le gally constrained by the federal govern ment and the municipal council of Pons department of the Charente-Inferieure, of wnich x-Premier Combes is president, iris already decided to "abide by the terms of the law of Feb. 2. lf*07. which places the Catholic churches at the dis position of the Catholic clergy without the necessity of a contract between the mayors and the parish priests.” The members of the household of the archbishop of Paris. Cardinal Richard, take exception to the idea that an agree m« nr relating to the churches will in any sense constitute a solution of the r ligious issue. In this connecti. n a pro la'e who is elose to the archbishop said: •'We wished primarily to save public worship from shipwreck and upon that point we ar“ succeeding, but beyond that the religious question lias nut advanced a foot."

Feb. 1'..—Despite the- ap prehension felt over the interruption oi the trial of Harry K. Thaw, there appears no basis for a uoubt that the ease will be resumed, as planned. on Monday. Juror Joseph It. Dolton, the death of whoso wife n r ssitated the present recess, has. it was stated to nietht. communicated to Judea- Fitztcr ald his expectation of lving aid to c. jtain take his place in tin iury box when the case is called.. The fum-ral service for Mrs. Bolton will be iv Id to morrow. Doth District Attorney .T roue and the lawyers for tin- defence- -r exp. ted now tliat Mr. Jerome wiil ,-.«k M-«n d. ty for the appointment of a commis sion to inquire into the mental condi tion of Thaw. Mr. Jerome made tills: point clear today, on the part >f th prosecution, ul'il Lawyer Dan 0'[{ -illy insisted, on behalf of th** def* nee, that Thaw Is of sound mind today end that therefore it would lie futile to apply for th“ appointment of a commission in lunacy. Both sides, it is understood, want to have the ca**e tried out an 1 hone there will be r.o further delays. As the case stands now. Thaw is as sumed to he o sound mine!. Xono of the expert: r lp.,1 t v the dr f- :iiris said th.nt ir> his opinion Tine is in can 1 now. Dr. Evans, whose testimony has r, -t :ill been given, l-xtific-tl this wee’.; that in his opinion Thaw was of un jotitni miral whi n ho killed White. also tli.it ho was of unsound min 1 during thy tin- defence will, it is said, testify that Thaw is of sound mind today. The exports to testify for the prose cution will, it is said, insist that, in their opinion. Thaw is not only sane t iday, but that ho was sane tile day after lie killed Stanford White. The x Ia rts for the pro.-i ontion nr Dvs. Flint, MacDonald and Mahon, three of the beat rorosnixi d alienists in til's coun try. They will, it is understood, testi fy that they have had no way of de termining whether Thaw was sane when he killed Stanford White. That when they saw the prisoner on June 26 anil again on June 27. IP'ifi. he refused to submit to an examination and. al though during the trial they have ob served him in court, they have not been permitted to converse with him. They would like an opportunity to do so. Tlie defence announced today their plans for next week. Dr. Wagner and Dr. Evans, the alienists, will be recall d to tell of conversations had with Thaw and which the court has ruled may be admitted. The prisoner’s wife will then conclude her story, after which Mrs. William Thaw, the defend ant's mother, will be called. For her the ordeal it is believed will be made as brief as possible. Mrs. Thaw is ex pected to tell principally of the early life of her son and whether she dis covered in him anything having a bearing on the present question of his recent sanity.

CONDENSED DI3FATCHES. The Old Dominion steamship Jeffer son in swingii g out of her dock at Nor folk Thursday night en route to New York, collided with the Norfolk tug i Teaser, tied up at an adjoining dock and a large hole was knocked in the starboard sine of the tug. whose star board rail also was damaged. The Jef ferson. undamaged, proceeded for New York. The collision was caused by the breaking of a line. A gigantic scheme on the part of a firm of whiskey distillers to defraud the revenue is reported to have been unearthed by Hritish revenue officers. The latt'-r. it is assart' d, discovered a system of underground pip* s through which whisk* v was conveyed from the[ distillery to the duty paid warehouse, whence it was distributed to the trade, j thus escaping the tax of $2.Ti> net* gal lon. The revenu authorities are said to have demanded the payment of a fine of ?:t0fi.000 on the smuggled liepjor. The matter probably will be brought up in Parliament.

It was the L'Mh anniversary of their marring? and the congratulations of the guests v/t-ro many. Refreshments were served and a good time enjoyed by all. The party left wishing Mr. and Mrs. Con nor many more years of happy mar married life. People who were on the street at about 6 o'clock last evening were startled by a team coming up front Kiver avenue at a mad gallop. The team was evidently the property someone from South Gardiner and the horse probably became frightened at the train and overturned the team and started for the city. The owner of the team could not he found but he can find his horse at the stable of M. Burns Son. where it was taken after being stopped on Beane's corner. Alarm 23 was blown Friday morning for a slight blaze in the barber shop of Walter Wiley, Depot square. Mr. Wiley’s shop is situated in the large wooden block owned by Judge Good speed. A water pipe was frozen and a plumber who was trying to thaw it out accidently set fire to a pile of excel sior.

It became worse every year. About three months ago I commenced to take Peruna and Manalin, and now I am entirely cured of that troublesome sickness. c °!lr medicine is surely a blessing to mankind. You can truly say that you hat e not lived in vain. Doctor, and I thank you for the good you have done me. May you enjoy a long life to help suffering humanity.” MR. (JU3TAV SCHMIDT. Chronic Catarrh of Head and Throat Lasted Thirty Years. A Letter Praising DR. HARTMAN, THE FARMER. Dr. P. B. Hartman, the inventor and original manufacturer of Peruna,isono of the best farmers in the Middle West. Ifis farm comprises several thousand acres of the best land in the State of Ohio, located near the City of Columbus. As an importer of French Pereheron and (ierman Coach horses, the Doctor has not an equal in this country. The fowl-raisins department is a marvel of ingenuity and perfection; but, perhaps the dairy department is where the Doctor shows his greatest sense of order and sanitary science. His milk cows, of the purest Jersey stock, have all been subjected to the tuberculin tests, and he gives to the City of Columbus a pure milk, certified by the Board of Health. The milk stables, the milk men and the whole process of milking are ah- solutely faultless and clean. The Doctor himself,past70ycarsof age, is the managing head of the farm. He himself supervises the working details of every department. He is a model of strength and vitality, and since Peruna is the only remedy he ever makes personal use of, his physical condition is a testimonial to tlieellicaey of Peruna of greater value than could be framed in words. T>r. Hartman isono of the few doctors who take their own medicine and his splendid physique and strength in his old age are an eloquent argument for Peruna very difficult lo gainsay. Dr. Hartman, being a farmer himself, knows what the farmer needs and in speaking of Peruna to the farmer he sneaks to his own kind of people. Pe-ru-na for Bowel Trouble. Mr. Stanly Bell, Ashley, Ohio, writes: “I was afflicted with rheumatism so badly that it was painful for me to move. took two or three bottles of Peruna when I began to feel better. It also gave me relief from bowel trouble.” V£..0*Si*j MR. o. 3. AILLXA\rUEit. A Necessity in t!ic Home. J. I'. Alexander, publisher of the i “Pruit and l-'loral Unde, a Magazine of Horticulture,” published in Hartford City, Ind., says of Peruna: ‘■I was afflicted with catarrh of the throat and head for over ten years. 1 was treated liy many physicians, but grew worse until I was seldom able to go out in cold weather. “About one year ago I was advised to j try Peruna, which I did, and I am now entirely well of the catarrh, j “Parana is a necessity in oar home. With the first symptoms of a cold we use it, and are never afflicted with cm tarrli. “I advise all who are afflicted with catarrli to try Peruna. There i3 cer tainly notiiing equal to it as a catarrh medicine.” 71 Years Gid and Able to Work. Mr. John U. Ilirdler, Garfield, Kas., writes: “I was injured by a fall on the rail road and my entire nervous system was impaired by the same. The help of a Xihysiciau was useless. “1 then tried Perana and after using it for three months was entirely well. I am 7! years old and my work on the the railroad is hard and tedious, but I can work like a young man in all kinds of weather, heat, cold, rain, snow or I storm alike.” Pc-ris-na, s Household Remedy. Mr. Henry Schroeder, Estey, Mich, writes: “I suffered for almost ten years with catarrh of the stomach and all doctor in" was of no avail. I took nine bottles j of Pcrnr.a and two of Manalln and am now entirely cured. “I recommend the medicine to all i who are afllieted with thisdiseaae. It is my household friend.” One of Dr. Hartman's Grateful Cor respondents. Mr. W. R. Callahan, proprietor of Big Hill Farm,and prominent fruitgrower and stock raiser, Glenvar, Va., writes: “I write to express my kindness toward you and your good medicine. Reruns. “I had a very bad spell of siekneM and could not eat anything at all. My iiead, stomach, in fact, my whole body ached, and it looked as though nothing would do me any good. I had almost given up. “I decided to try a bottle of yon* Peruna and before X had taken half ths bottle my appetite cams tome and my head became all right. In fact, I was all right all over, Pernna cured me.” While Peruna is notconSned to any one class of people, yet it is probably true that the farming class more thaa any other, rely upon Peruna for ths prevention and core of all dimatlo diseases. o'clock Friday aft moon.

In the state of Washington a railway bridge has been destroyed by tire, and it was necessary to regilaee it, says the Dundee Advertiser.

"whether the engineer has got the picture drawn! yet or not, hut the bridge is up and the trains tire passin' over it.” Ilider Haggard, the author of “She," is telling a good story appropos ot that novel. Not long ago he heard that a ballet, based on his romance, was to be produced at Buda-Pesth, and he wrote asking for program and photo graphs. He received a letter in reply from the manager, saying that he had believed that the illustrious author was dead, as obituaries had appeared in the Hungarian newspapers. Mr. Haggard wrote again and asked that the report of his death might be contradicted, but the manager replied that the edi tors refused to publish the contradic tion. as they believed it to be a mere dodge to advertise the ballet—Life.

Mr. Heselton of Kennebec presented the following order, and moved its passage: Ordered that, the House concurring for the purpose of determining the ex pediency of Sections 14 to 35 inclusive of Chapter 29 of the Revised Statutes, a subject matter referred by joint or der of this legislature to the joint standing committee on temperance, and, at the same time considering the substitution for the agency system now existing under State laws tiie plan of dispensing intoxicating liquors for medicinal and mechanical purposes through r verning the sale of intoxicating liquors by authority of the State and prevent the unlawful sale of said liquors by these agencies, tiie committee on temperance is em powered and authorized to summon such persons and send for such books and papers, as in the committee's judgment will be of assistance to them in making a report to this Legislature, and, at any hearing under this order may administer oaths, examine wit nesses and employ a stenographer, or any other assistance necessary for the performance of these duties. Sir. Heselton of Kennebec: Mr. President: In support of this order, I beg the indulgence of tiie Sen ate for a few minutes while l explain, if oxph nation is necessary, its purpose and scope. If possible I want to dis associate any action direct! 1 by this order from an investigation of any per son or department and thus save it from falling under the bun of tiie sen atorial order recently adopted and consequent defeat. I am going to assume that the sen ators piesent know Un-re are public criticisms in th-’ press of both parlies, as to the niaucr in which certain legal agencies authorize 1 by our statute i have been conducted, ir proper I might say that personal criticisms of the con duct of these agencies have be. n mad me by Republican and Democratic members of this Legislature. I might 'add that respectable men or this State have complained that some of these I agencies were being used apparently by the municipalities in which they were located for the purpose of making money, that excessive prices have been there charged for those liquors. And I might say that in some cases the complaints have be. n made that minors and drunkards have been able to pro cure intoxicating liquors from some of these agencies. If those complaints iirul criticisms arc true it may bo P‘>s sible that different restrictions might accomplish better results. 1 am will ing that the dead past of these com plaints and criticisms may bury its dead, excepting in so far, as through their verification or regulation this committee may gain some light upon an action towards fhis law. It seems to me that it is not a debatable ques tion that the citizens should have some proper and legalized plac- where they can obtain intoxicating liquor for med icinal and mechanical purposes, and it appeals to me just as strongly that as a State we should not authorize tie* (municipalities to sell these liquors for 'gain. Mori- than this the unfortunate (drunkard and the minor should be pro tected here by vigilant enforcement or rigid laws as ho is in case of any vio I lat Ion of the prohibitory law. I The law as it now stands may be per i feet and protective as it can be made. If that is so and the committee satis 1 lies itself of the fart and so reports t i I the Legislature 1 believe it will go far to allay these public criticisms and TROUT WANTS FARMS 441 Farms have been sold ring have of cue waiting or us to find farms.

All I ask and all I expect, is for the committee to take some means to satisfy themselves of wheth er this law needs enforcement. If it does then by some means, and we hero give them the powers in this order to select the means, let this committee discover and recommend to us those change s. There are now before the legislature two measures, one for th repeal of the law which authorizes these agencies without substituting therefor anything in their stead. I should regard this unwise legislation. The other measure authorizes the substitution of drug stores for ti’.e agencies. It may be that this measure, if properly safeguarded, would be a wise one. Whatever the committee determines 1 will be satisfied with. In the usual leg islative way these orders will come before the committee. What seems everybody’s business, is nobody’s business. The usual course that such measures take before a com mittee is this: If it is presented to them through an order of this Legis lature, and notices published, then, if no one appears before that committee, it simply passes out of existence and the complaints under such circum stances and the criticisms and the con ditions which now exist would remain. It may seem to the gentlemen of the Senate that I ought to he more specific in referring to these agencies and not by generalizations bring before you this subject. I know it is invidious to make comparisons and so regard it. My knowledge of the workings of these agencies is limited; and I make refer ence to them particularly I may cause them to think that I have selected them p' rsonally for criticisms in pub lic. It is not so. Hut, for the purpose of bringing it before this Senate fairly and honestly, I am going to make ref erence to certain agencies in the State. I will first refer to the agency that exists in the city of Gardiner.- I be lieve there is no agency in i:v» fe’tate more carefully protected than Is that one. We have an honest ag- e.l. I think lie ilespenscs liquors there with out any personal gain to himself out side of his salary: yet I do know that the joint committee selected by our city government only the other day went into that agency to investigate. What did they find'.’ They found that liquors were sold there at 100 per cent, higher than they could be purchased in the open market. That is tile condition found on investigation. 1 know how that operates mi the minds of the Leg islature at the present time; and they, by an examination, might find a way to remedy that fault. I know also that one of our manu facturers which lias occasion, as the senator from Pi nobscot will under stand. is the case ill all paper mills, of using alcohol for mechanical purposes, was out of alcohol. He went to tlie agency to get alcohol to use in the mills; and it was of such poor quality, so adulterated and reduced in proof that he could not make use of it and it w s spoiling the product that was being manufactured in the mill. This committee, after careful ex amination. might find some way in which such conditions as those might be remedie d. I know, further thru tl t that a little agency has been established out In re in Chelsea, four miles from any col 1-etod habitation, within half a mile of Togus Homo, where 2500 old soldiers are collected, many of tht of liquors dispensed for the 10 months $1C.95S.21 Sales of the Waterville City Liquor Agency by months: March. 1906 (tlie last three days) 223.01 April, 1006 1.978.28 May, 1506 2,277.36 June, 1J06 2,526.87 July, 1506 2,370.76 August, 1906 2/01.28 September, 1906 2.901.08 October. 1506 2,538.61 November, 1906 2.247.94 December, 1906 2,385.10 January, 1907 2,017.76 Cost of liquors, as above$16,958 21 Expense, salaries, rent, fuel, trucking, etc. 1,317.01 $24 016.12 1.8.273.22 $5,772.90 The net profit to the beautiful city of Waterville under the administration of Mayor Jones, the chairman of the State Democratic committee is $3772.90.

Wholly a Portland Movement. ,The demand for the removal of the State capital, so far as it was voiced at the hearing seems to come chiefly from Portland.—Biddeford Record. Our esteemed contemporary has sized up the situation with an accuracy which nobody can deny. The demand for the removal of the State capital not only at the hearing, but before the hearing, has been found nowhere out side of the city of Portland and its Immediate vicinity. It has been a case of Portland against the whole State of Maine, although the Portland papers naturally enough deplore having it looked upon from this point of view. One man, to be sure, spoke in behalf of Portland at the hearing, but he hailed from the neighboring town of Scar boro. And several petitions, to be sure, have been presented to the Legis lature which did not emanate from Portland, but they were signed by citizens of the neighboring city of Westbrook. Xu petitions from other parts of the state have been received by the Legislature in favor of changing the capital. N'o speakers arose at the hearing from Aroostook, or Penobscot or Washington. or Somerset, or Piscataquis, or Androscoggin, or Ox ford counties to voice any sentiment in those sections in favor of a change. No newspapers in those counties, or in any other sections of the State out side of Portland, have argued in favor of changing the capital. On the other hand. hundreds of re monstrances, with thousands of signa tures, representing every section of the State are pouring in upon the legisla ture protesting against such change ljeiug made. Speakers from all the countli s mentioned above voiced with emphasis and earnestness before the committee at Wednesday’s hearing the unanimous objection of the people of those counties against any change in the location of the capital. Letters from over 400 towns, written by town officials, masters of granges, and other men of local prominence well qualified to express the sentiment of their communities, have been published In. the columns of this paper protesting against any change in tlie location of the State capital. Editorial utterances have appeared in some 25 leading newspapers of the State, representing a dozen counties, all protesting against any change In the location of the State capital, and these have been republish ed In the columns of this paper as our readers will remember. Thus, while the request for changing the capital has been confined to Tort land and its environment, the protest against any change has come from the newspapers, the leading men and tax payers by tlie thousands in every sec tion of the State. More significant still, the voice of protest has been taised in Cumberland county itself. Not only have two of the leading newspapers of that county, the Bruns wick Record and the Bridgton News, opposed Portland’s request with both argument and ridicule, but a re monstrance signed by 256 taxpayers of Brunswick, leading professional and business men of that town, lias been presented to the Legislature, and it is known that decided opposition to the Portland proposition exists in many if not all of the rural towns of Cumber land county. Whatever arguments the hackers of Hip Portland movement started out to advance have been shown to be unde serving of serious consideration. The “offer" made by the city in its attempt to bribe the State to give it a palatial State House in gratification of its local pride has been shown to be a gold brick, and nothing remains of Port lands contention save the simple fact that it wants to be the capital of the State. Just to gratify this very natural desire, for which nobody can blame the rich ami aristocratic city of Portland, the Legislature of Maine is asked to disregard the wishes of the people throughout the length and breadth of the fftate and to set aside the many worthy causes which are pleading at its doors for appropriations and to put upon the taxpayers of Maine the crushing burden of a wholly unnecessary and uncalled for expendi lure of millions. It is the story of 1889 over again, and Portland s case has fallen as flat as it did them. Then it was beaten in the Senate by a vote of 19 to 7 and in the House it was turned down without division or debate. The people of Maine have been heard from this time, as they were then, in regard to Port lands request and their answer is the same with even greater emphasis than was then given it. The reasons and arguments which the Portland men advanced have been crushed beneath a thousand better reasons and argu merits against any change. The Port- land “offer" has become a laughing stock. When the committee makes its report, the Legislature will proceed promptly to give the Portland move ment a decent burial. And it should be buried so deeply as to forbid any hope of resurrection. Another Brave Maine Soldier Gone. Another brave Maine soldier has been mustered out in the death of John Thomas H. Talbot this week at his home in Brookline, Mass., in his 84th year. It is an interesting coincidence that his death and that of Gen. Starbird occurred so closely together. Both were natives of Maine, both won rank as brigadier generals in the Civil War, both were graduates of Bowdoin Col lege, and both have passed the later years of their life in Massachusetts. Gen. Talbot was born in East Machias in 1823 and came of one of the most prominent families of southern Maine. Gen. Talbot’s most conspicuous service in the Civil War was with that famous fighting organization, the First Maine Heavy Artillery, which suffered the largest loss of any Union regiment dur ing the war. He was constantly with the regiment from its muster in 1862, commanded a battalion at Spott sylvania Court House and at Cold Har bor. and was in command of the regi ment during the battles of that awful summer of 1S64. At Spottsylvania the First Maine Heavy Artillery lost 155 men killed, and 374 wounded, a total of 529, or about 30 per cent, of its strength. It was this regiment which was hurled against the Confederate works at Petersburg with a loss of 632 men killed or wounded out of a total strength of 850, and all of this horrible slaughter occurred with 15 minutes. A few weeks after this battle Col. Tal bot took command of the brigade when the brigadier general fell mortally wounded in battle. •On. Talbot graduated from Rowdoin in the class of 1S46. Prominent among his 04 classmates were Gen. Frederick D. Sewall. Judge Charles M. Chamber lain of California, Charles A. Spofford who was speaker of the Maine House in 1ST.7, Rev. Edwin B. Webb. D. D.. f'>r many years an Augusta pastor, and Dr. John S. H. Fogg of Boston who gave his native town of Eliot its public library building and the Maine Histori cal Society a collection of autographs valued at $25,000. East June there were four survivors of this class re maining, and three of them met at Brunswick during Commencement week to celebrate the 60th anniversary of their graduation. They were Gen. Talbot. Gen. He wall and Joseph C. Pickard of Chicago, for many years a college professor in Illinois and Wis consin. The fourth survivor of the class, Josiah Pierce, for many years in the United States consular service is spending his declining years in Eon don totally blind, but he sent to his three old friends a long letter as his share in their reunion. After graduating from Bowdoin Col lege Gen Talbot entered upon the practice of the law in Portland where he remained until lie went to the front in 1R62 in the First Maine Heavy Artil lery. After the war closed he re sumed the practice of his profession and for four years was assistant attor ney-general of the United States at Washington. After this he practiced his profession in Boston with much success, residing in the town of Brook line where for a dozen years he was unanimously elected to the board of assessors. He was a son of whom Maine had many reasons to be proud, and nobody will more deeply mourn his loss than tlie surviving veterans of the First Maine Heavy Artillery who face l under his leadership such awful scenes of carnage over 40 years ago. Remembering the Maine. Nine years ago this morning tl-e world was staggered by the news fro.i\ Havana in whose harbor during the preceding night the battleship Maine had been blown up with terrible loss of life. The mystery of that night's trag edy has never yet been solved, but v. hat an influence it had upon the his tory of this country: and the history of all civilization, for that matter! Nobody can say just how great an in fluence the destruction of the Maine had m hr.aging on the war with Spain with all its momentous consequences, but nobody will deny tint it was an exceedingly important factor. The war with Spain meant far more than the freedom *f Cuba where the conditions due to Spanish oppression had become so intolerable that inter vention on the part of tins government in the name of humanity and civilisa tion was an absolute necessity, it meant, as events demonstrated in quick succession, the acquisition of a great archipelago on the further side of the Pacific, nil to mention Potto Kico in the Atianti'*.- anil with these new possessions great problems began to face our country which had no. been dreamed of b' >~j. it ’leant not only the loss of Spirn't navy and ts last colonial possession, lmt also an unwilling recognition by continental Kurope of the fare that Amend bad ljecome a great po-.ve- always to be reckoned with in 'ho future when any thing conies up of international con sequence. History was made fast in those few months that followed the blowing up of the Maine in Havana harbor, and the United States of today is not the same United States as that which existed before that occurrence. There is a new battleship Maine in the American navy today, a battleship so much greater and more pjwcrful than its predecessor that it is a fitting representation of the nation which lias become so much greater and more powerful since the first Maine was blown up. That first battleship still rests in the mud of Havana harbor and in its mangled hull the bones of scores of American sailors are resting. Its tangled and rusted topworks still how above the tide. Many suggestions have been made for raising the vessel and various projects advanced, but for one reason and another none of them have been carried out. Perhaps it is best after all that the wreck of that magnificent vessel should lie where it went down, even assuming that an at tempt to raise it would be a practical and feasible proposition. "Remember the Maine” was the battle cry on land and sea during those exciting months which followed that February night in 1898, and the Maine is still remembered. And when the historian of a century hence writes the story of this wonder ful pel iod in whieli we are living and develops the story of our great repub lic’s progress as it marches on to the wonderful tilings yet in store for it, the Maine will be remembered by him, and the story of that awful tragedy in Havana harbor will be given a place of prominence. According to the Portland Press, the people of Augusta think that "Kenne bec water strained of the thickest of the germs, is plenty good enough for anybody.” The Press has weird and wonderful ideas about conditions at the State capital and this is a sample. The water used here is not Kennebec water and it needs no straining, but it serves the purpose of the Press to spread wrong impressions about this and everything else in Augusta. MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT. Unanimity of Sentiment. (Waldo County Commercial.) The Kennebec Journal is getting a practical referendum on the question of moving the capital to Portland by sending inquiries to the some promi nent man or men in nearly every city and town in the State. The answers to these questions are coming in from all quarters, and it is surprising to see the unaminity of sentiment against ny present change in the lo cation of the capital. Kennebec and Cumberland counties are for the pres ent left off the list, as being preju diced witnesses. Hut we venture the assertion that many right in Cumber land would not favor moving to Port land when they consider the great ex pense to the State and all other objec tions. Even the small fraction of those heard from who drop a favorable hint in reference to moving suggest but one reason, viz., the insufficiency of hotel accommodation and high prices prevail ing at Augusta. If the people of the capital city will remedy that evil, as they promise to do, Augusta will hold her State House for a long time. At all events the removal is a dead issue for several years. “Idiot" is a word with a curious his tory. In Greek “idotes” began by meaning a private individual, as op posed to the state or to a state offi cial; then it meant a non-expert or layman, and, finally, an ignorant man or an awkward fellow. It was left for English to carry the meaning further to mental deficiency. In “Piers Plow man” an "idiot" is an ignorant person, and as late as 169S it could mean a person who knew only one language. Wycliff and Jeremy Taylor used it in the sense of “layman,” and the latter also in that of “private person.” And a professional “fool” or jester was at one time an “idiot," too.

Eldon, who lias just died in Lewiston, had the best library of books relating to Maine of any man in the State. He was a great anti quarian and genealogist, revelling in the musty and mouldy records of the past. He was a relative of Governors Anson P. and Lot M. Morrill. The highest rank ever attained by a student of the University of Maine has been won by Miss Marion Balentine of Orono, who leads the present senior class. She has secured a mark of 96.1 for the first 3% years of the course. The three who rank next in order in the class are boys from Massachusetts. There has just died down in Pennsyl \ania an old negress, Keziah Jackson, who was for years the nurse of James G. Blaine. At the time of Mr. Blaine’s birth in 1S30. Keziah Jackson was eight years old and from the time Rlaine was tire months old until he was two years old. she looked after him constantly. When Blaine was old enough to go to school he was taken there each day by Nurse Jackson. One of the most unique and attractive town histories which has ever been published in Maine is the “History of Roothbay, Southport and Boothbay Harbor." by Francis R.

It is a volume of TOO pages with half a hundred maps and portraits and tells the story of one of the most charming sections of Maine from 162?, to 1905. The last two hun dred pages are devoted to family his tories, a most valuable part of the work which represents an immtyi.se amount of the most painstaking re search and investigation.
