May 21.—A tragic event took jdaec at Utile Ridge Sun day when Benjamin Anderson, a Swede, shot himself with a revolver, death resulting Shortly afterwards. i lie told his son in the morning not to J go to church, as he intended to shoot himself. I he son hunted up the revol- I v ami hid it. as he supposed, secure-j !y. But during tile day his father found' it and executed his threat. Mr. Anderson owned a farm at Tittle t Ridge, was a good neighbor and an up- right man. His suicide is a matter of much surprise in the neighborhood in which lie lias resided for a number of years. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE Cf Charles Eames of North Anson, Missing for the Past Week. North Anson, Me., May 21.—The mys terious disappearance of Charles Kamos of this town has given Ids family and friends untold anxiety and is now the great mystery discussed Ivy everyone here. It is a week since Mr. Karnes left his home to go to Kmbden. ITis father’s farm is located there near the Solon ferry and Mr. Eames was planning to do some planting upon the place and make a few repairs. The farm buildings were unoc c u pled. Mr. Kamos lato that Monday afternoon crossed the ferry to Solon village and told the ferryman that he intended to return to the farm before dark, hut added that if he was too into for the ferry lie should itoss on the Somerset railroad bridge The ferryman did not see his passenger again. The last trace of him in the vil lage was at 8 o’clock, when it is evident that he started back for the farm. Noth ing further is known as to what hap pened. but the prevalent opinion is that he tried to cross the railroad bridge in the dark and lost his footing, falling into the turbulent stream beneath. Nothing was known of his disappear ance until people passing by the farm Tuesday noticed the neighing of the horses left in the bain by Mr. Karnes. They had been unfed and iacketc.1 around so that people drove in to learn what was the trouble. They found no one about the place. Everything was as Mr. Fames had left it when he departed Monday afternoon for the village. Searching parties were instituted but witiiout success. All hope of finding him alive is now given up. Mr. Karnes was 51 years old and pros perous in his business as general jobber in tlds town. Tie lias a wife and one son who is a student at the High school. His business affairs are in excellent condition and lie had no cause for worry, so that the theory of suicide Is considered quite out of the question. The bridge accident theory seems most plausible, because tills is a dangerous place in the dark, as the walk is narrow and there is no rail, while the river at this time is swollen and the roar of the water 50 feet beneath is dis concerting. FINDING OF A SKDLDTON. Mry Fxolcin Disappearance of Italian at Woodland Some Years Since. Calais, Me.. May :M.— Tin- finding of a skid-, ton of a man beneath a pit of cement sacks la the liasvmeat of one of the new paper mills at Woodland lias explained the disappearance, it Is believed, of an Italian who disappeared one night three year ago after a liorei tight among some Italians employed in the construction of the mills. There is a large fracture on the skull and sev eral contusions. A coroner’s jury decid ed that the unknown deceased came to his death by foul play at the hands of parties unknown. BOOTS AND SHOES. United States Leads the World in Amount and Value of Output. Washington, May' 21.—The 1 nitod States as a leader among nations in the manufacture of shoos and the great in crease in the value of every kind of boots and shoos, are interesting points brought out in a report issued by tin census bureau today, relating to the manufacture of boots and shoes, leath er and leather gloves and mittens for 1005. It shows that there were 1316 es tablishments engaged in the industry, having $122,526,093 capital. 140.024 wage earners, wages amounting to $69,059,680, cost of materials amounting to $10^. 363.405. ami products valued at $520,107. 458. All of these items, except the num ber of establishments, show increases for the five-year period since the llitli census. Capital and value of products increased at practically the same rate. Number of establishments decreased almost IS per cent, since 1S00. Hides to the number of 17.5S1.613, costing $89,126,593 reported by 069 estab lishmerits, represented 46.6 p« r rent. i the total cost of materials. The use ol hemlock and oak bark extract for tan ning has increased greatly, whil f leather formed more than one-half o! the value of all leather manufactured. At the census of 1905 there was ar important concentration of the indus t try in the Kastern states. Pennsylvania Massachusetts, Wisconsin. New 1 or! and New Jersey reported products val f nod at over $20,000,000; their combiner total of $171,764,248 was 6S per cent, o: the total for the United States. Leather gloves and mittens wer.

A NEW VENIRE Of 60 Talesmen Galled in the Haywood Trial. No Nearer Choice of Jury at Boise, Idaho, Than Before, Slow Work in Filling Panel, the Objections Being Strenuous. Boise. Idaho, May 21.—John Whit look. a nurseryman, was under exam ination as proposed juror Xo. C when the Haywood trial was resumed today. Clarence Sn Harrow for the defence, received permission temporarily to pass the examination of Whitlock. He then announced that the defence would use its sixtli peremptory challenge to ex cuse John Fisher at No. 10. Both state and the defence then had four chal lenges left with only nine members of the special venire of 100 to draw upon. James Afler. a teamster, called to the vacancy at Xo. 10, was excused for strong opinion. The remaining few talesmen went down because of opinions until Levi Smith, tlie 97th member of the special panel was reached. Smith said he was a railroad employe and he was finally accepted by both sides. Judge Wood then announced that he had received a physician’s report that Juror Orris Cole at Xo. 9, was not in condition to serve. He was excused by consent. Tlie task of filling the vacancy was inauspioiously begun, the first man up, J. X'. Lawrence, a farmer, declaring he was opposed to capital punishment. He was excused. Henry C. Miller, a farmer, and next to tlie last member of the special ve nire, also declared that he had con scientious scruples against capital pun ishment. He was excused, as was Wil liam Snyder, a farmer, who had a strong opinion. The clerk announced the exhaustion of the panel. Judge Wood ordered a new venire of CO tali ;:men summoned and an adjourn ment of court until Thursday at 2 P. M. It is predicted today that tlie first wit nnss of tlie tiial of William D. Haywood for alleged complicity in tlie Steunenberg murder will take the stand one week lienee. There are still eight unexpended peremptory challenges; there is an addi tional vacancy created by tlie excusing (Continued on Page Two.! FAIR—V/ARM ER.

We Are Offering ‘There Isn’t a Young Man In Town Who Wants up-to-date, snappy, correctly-fitting •clothes that we can’t please with these Sack Suits at $10 to $17. They arc uncommon—different from all othei suits for young men, as you can sef Commons and tress on the govern* ment, with all th ir strength and pmv l or. to introduce a measure for the es i tablishment. of a native parliament with a responsible executive, having power over all pun: !y Irish affairs and at this crisis in the fortunes of Ire land wo invite ail the Nationalist forces in the country to unite in sup port of our representatives in Parlia ment an 1 enable them to effectively press for the speedy and genuine sst tlenient of the Irish question.” Continuing Mr. Redmond first denied the criticism that lie and his col leagues were committed to th" hill, t in the contrary lie declared, the framers i of the measure had refuse.! his ad vise as to the only safe basis oh which the proposed council could be found ed. The Irish members of Parliament 1 were not committed to any part of the *1 till or to the government. They had voted for its introduction in order to fulfill their promises and so that the government's proposals might be sub mitted to a convention. Mr. Redmond asserted that the Bir red bill was not workable and there fore would end in disaster, its failure would be used as an argument against Ireland’s capacity for self-government, and its operation would result in the demoralization of the v Nationalist party and the existing unity, which was Ireland’s strongest weapon. Mr. Redmond criticized the details of the financial and other features of the bill as being inadequate when com pared with the powers given to the lord lieutenant. Government by com mittee. he said, was unheard of. Know ing the constitution of the British Parliament, ho knew it was useless to hope to st cure satisfactory amend ments to the measure. In conclusion Mr. Redmond said: “The Liberal party must crop the Roseberyitu idea and must come hack to tlm standard of Gladstone. People talked of an alliance of the Irish party with the Liberals. The Irish party is independent. It can have an alliance with no English party that does not put home rule in the front of its plat form.” After Mr. Redmond had concluded his tti irks, speeches seconding the renduthm ere made. A. J. Kettle, a veteran home ruler, was the first sp-'ulc -r. afltr which John O’Oalla t.'unan of the American branch of the Irish League aroused the enthusiasm of (lie delegates l<y tendering them the support of the Irish in America. "Do you think,” he asked, “that the task of Mr. Bryce in America is going to be made any easier because his col leagues have thrown in the face of tfie Irish people this measure which you today will throw in the faces of his colleagues with contempt?” Mr. O’Callaghan, amid great ap plause declared that so long as Eng land gives the Boers who fought her, (cries of “and beat her”), more home rule than the Irish, the Irish-Ameri cans will prevent the alliance with the United Stales which England so great ly desires. Father Dav id Humphreys, another speaker, proved to he a dis turbing element. “Catholics and Nationalists are the same.” lie said. “The bill is directed against the Catholic church. It would drive the priests out of the schools and let in the devil. In two generations It would change Ireland Into a France.” Father Humphreys' speech was in t'rruptcd by many cries of dissent v. hereupon he shouted that the con vention was "packed with Redmond’s creatures" and Mr. Redmond compelled him to take his seat, for insulting the convention. Joseph Devlin and Mr. Fitzpatrick of the American branch of the league spoke eloquently, deprecat ing sectarianism. Several other speakers followed, chief among them being Frank O'Con nell. an Australian member of Parlia ment, who assured the convention of the sympathy of all Australians for home rule and T. P. 0”C'onnor, M. P., who explained the reasons why the Irish members of Parliament distrust ed the bill. He admitted that he had hoped for a time that it might have been amended Into an acceptable form, remarked that the Irish members had warned the government that the peo (Continuel on Page Seven.) SCARCIWOF HELP And a Demand for an In crease in Wages Now Occupy Attention of New England Mill Owners. Common Sense and Good Judge ment Ought to Settle It. Boston, May 2t.—It is probable that meetings of the treasurers of mills in Xew Hampshire, Maine, Low ell, and elsewhere, will be held in Boston, where al! have their offices, within a short time, for the purpose of consid ering the wage situation. Mills employing a total of 86,000 hands in southern and western Massa chusetts, Rhode Island and eastern Connecticut, North Pownal, Vt„ and Amesbur;,-, Mass., have already an nounced an advance of approximately 10 per cent next Monday. None of these plants are controlled in Boston, but as the Lowell Textile Council has asked for an advance at the same time, the question now con fronts the Lowell mill treasurers who have their offices here. Practically all of the cotton mills in New England which have not an nounced an increase are controlled from Boston and if the Lowell officials feel compelled to fall into line with southern and western New England, it is regarded as a foregone conclusion that the other Boston interests will shortly announce some sort of an ad vance in order to keep their help, of which there is a marked scarcity everywhere. The mills represented by local offices employ about 100,000 Op tra, tives. AN ENFORCED VACATION May Be Given New England Cotton Mills in Late Summer. Boston, May 21.—The cotton mills throughout New England generally will undoubtedly shut down August 14 and remain closed until September in order to give their employes a vaca tion. The mills of Lowell. Manchester, N. II.. New Bedford and other places have agreed to this arrangement and it is sAbl lhat many other manufac turers regard the.plan with favor. All the mills have orders which will keep them busy al! summer but as the op eratives insist on a vacation, the cor porations are not opposed to it, and will repair their machines and other equipments during the idle period. Machinists Strike at Lowell, Mass. Lowell, Mass., May 21.-Three hun dred machinists In (he Kitson Machine shop struck today. A bounty of two per cent, on 26 completed picker ma chines was changed to two per cent, on 3d picker machines. This meant a reduction of 8 per cent, in the wages, according to the strikers. A demand now is made for the original bounty, with ten per cent, increase. STEAMER NAOMI BURNED. Crosby Liner Destroyed In Middle of Lake Michigan. Grand Haven, Mich., May 21.—Four coal passers were burned to death and one passenger, J. M. Rhoades, of Detroit, was fatally burned when the Crosby Line Steamer Naomi, formerly the Wisconsin, was burned to the wa ter's edge early today In the middle of Lake Michigan. Fifty passengers and al! of the crew except the four coal passers were rescued by the steamer Skratford and the Naomi's sister ship, the Kansas, which was en route from Milwaukee to Grand Haven. The loss on tile Naomi, which was In command of Capt. Thomas Traill, is estimated at $225,000. After the passengers and crew wore rescued, a barge put a line on the burning hulk and begun towing her into port. I Milwaukee, Wls., May 21.—Word re ceived at the office of the Crosby Transportation Co. today confirms the story of the burning of the steamer Naomi, but denies that any lives were lost.

Miss Bertha Osborn of Waltham Is the guest of cx-Mayor ami Mrs. J. W. Ful ler. Ml'S. C. It White lias returned from Vermont and will make her home Here. Mr. White will come shortly. Ernest Reed of Boston was in the city calling on friends yesterday.

Archie Deribfcentrop has accepted the night position at the Maine Central depot, lie is a native of France and has been residing in Portland. He comes to Hallo well v. ell recommended and will move his family here shortly, or as soon as a rent can be secured. United States Deputy Marshal Mayo met with a mishap at the depot Tuesday morning. The planking Af the platform is in wretched condition and passage is fraught with danger unless caution is taken. Mr. Mayo was in company with Got. Cobb when, without ceremony, lie stumbled and fell, measuring his length on the walk, sustaining a tear in his ti ouseis as a memento of the occasion. Hallowell High 14; Oak Grove 5. The Hallowell High baseball team with a crowd of supporters alighted from too 7.U7 P. M train last evening in a very jubilant frame of mind, having just won a very pretty game from Oak Grove 11 to 5.' The hoys said that a very high wind was blowing throughout the game and tlds was a decided drawback for all of the players, particularly the pitchers Fuller of Hallowell struck out 10, allowed live hits, lilt one man. gave two liases and was credited with four wild pitches. Appleton of Oak Grove had poor con trol at times, making 10 wild pitches, al lowing eight bases on halls, striking out 15 and allowing six hits. Hallow-ell's work is well spoken of. Oal: Grove defeated Cony High 0 to 3. Oth erwise referring to Hallow-ell's standing it rnay he said that Hallowell won from \Yinfill-op 10 to 5, while Cony fell to Win tlirop’s share 9 to 1. Hallowell lost to Gardiner 12 to 3—the only game lost. Considering that Cony now has the Mes ser-rerley cup won last year and donated by tlie firm named for competitive pur poses, the reason is not plain wliy Cony does not respond to Hallowell's chal lenges. A Slight Fire. ■Employes of Johnson Bros.’ shoe facto ry discovered a blaze on the roof of the ell of the Hallowell House Tuesday after noon and the fire alarm was sounded. A line of hose was laid from the shoe fac tory and the blaze was soon out. It is supposed to have originated from a spark trom a passing locomotive. Manager Stone and Clerk Doyle gained the roof of the ell from tlie main house and, arm ed with an extinguisher, were prepared to do heroic work. Arriving at the scene of the fire they were somewhat chagrined to tird that tlie stream from their appar atus was ineffectual, as the strong wind blew tlie mixture back into tlielr faces— ruining Mr. Stone's second best hat. Four shingles were also damaged. High School Notes. A subscription fund of 10 cents r- scholar has been started for the benefit of the second team and is meeting with general patronage. Fuller and Towle in comic songs and locttl bits will appear at the Augusta Op era house Wednesday evening under the support of the High school. It is expect ed also that an artist from Cony will ap pear to contest with them. The school will attend in a body and a box will be reserved for tlie “rooters.” The baseball games arranged for tlie second team so far are: Saturday. May lir,. at Augusta, Smith Grammar; Satur day. June 1, at Hallowed. Shoe Shcp Jun iors; Thursday, May 30, at Waterside, Waterville High second. High Line. Hat very little has been said this sea son about high line catches at Coblios speconlee. but an honor of this nature must now be accredited to Charles Cut ler of Boston, who was at Ills cottage at Farr’s r ove Saturday. Herbert Fish ac companied Mr. Cutler and the catch in cluded four trout from l'/a to 4 pounds in weight and 12 black bass. Mr. Cutler re tained to Boston Sunday very much pleased with his outing.

Keeker of New Yolk, George .Morrison of Boston, and A. Bobbins and J. Edgar Emery of this city, have re turned from a highly successful fish ing trip at Elgin Green leaf's camps at Sugar Island, Moosehead loke. 1 lie party v. as at the camps live days and look 41* fish all told. -Mr. Bobbins was nigh line in the party and got a hand some so. an re tail trout weaghing a little over live pounds. The fish is now iieing mounted at the Frosby es tablishment Capt. H. C. Chapman and Col. A. B. Day are at the Green leaf eanms and have had good luck. Capt. Chapman got a silver trout weighing five pounds and Col. Day had a five-pound salmon to ids credit. The weather at Moosehead is very cold tor so late in the season and there is still considerable snow on tiie hills and in the deep woods. Not withstanding the cold the fishing has been good ever since the ice left and the fishermen who have braved the cold have been well rewarded. The Greenleaf camps tire maintaining their reputation as a paradise for fishermen. The eanms arc full and accomoda tions are in demand all the time. 'I lie new camp recently built by Mr. Green leaf is on** of the iuiest on any lake in Maine. Mr. Greenleaf knows how to care for his guests anil nobody ever leaves without having a royal enter tainment and tlii? best fishing to be had tiny place on the lake. Other camps and the Mt. Kineo House are entertaining many fisher men and the good catches of fish are reported front all parts of the lake. The fisnermen down at Grand lake in Washington county are having great sport with the salmon. The weather is cold down thee* as well as in other places, but not quite so much so. The salmon are rising in great shape and some record catches are being made. One fisherman landed r,0 salmon one day last week, fishing from daylight to dark. The record catch in one day *s fish. Of course the fish erman is restricted to 2a pounds of fish hut he can have the fun ot taking mote if he puts the fish back into the water. It's easy enough to do that at Grand lake and save the big fish to take back to the camp. There are many fishernn n at The White House, The Ball, The Owl, The T'pper Berth and other camps and accommodations are booked a tong wav ahead Fishing at the nearby lakes and ponds is fairly good. Some days the, fish don’t rise hut occasionally a good j cat ill is made. A few of tie local fishermen have, tried the brook fishing hut it is a little too early lor that yet. About two weeks more and some warm weath**i should see some good sport on the streams. NEW FOOTBALL RULES. Several New Penalties Imposed ana Official Rulings Made. In addition to the two new rules an nounced from New York, following the recent meeting of the football rules committee, to the effect that a touch back shall be declared when a forward pass gr.es over the goal line, either rolling or on the fly, and that ‘‘the man behind the line who receives a for ward pass must he at least one yard be hind the line, except the quarter back.” new penalties and official rulings were made. The more important of these w work down the field. He will report violations of the rules of holding, interference, the conduct of players in any part of the field, in ad dition to his down field work. He will assist the referee in his jurisdiction over the hall on interference and other fouls, and in the rules governing the catching, securing or passing of iho hall when it has been kicked or passed down the field. “The rules were all codified tend the new rule book will be a wonder for clearness." says Coach Stagg of Chica go University. “Anyone will now be able to understand the rul^s, a thins which has beer, almost impossible heretofore. The committee meeting June 7 will have no interest for the West, as the Eastern managers tyU then decide upon a plan for pick ing their officials.” Attel! has declined to go to England and fight Bowker for aif alleged purse of $5000, when a Eos Angeles club will give just twfi-e as much. No one can blame the American champion. MAINE LEAGUE, Augusta Defeats Water ville in 8 to 6 Game. Score Tied in Seventh and Then Fought Out. Phila. Giants II; Bangor, State League, at Bangor, 7. Waterville, Mo., May 2b—(Special) Au custa deft ated Waterville in an exhibi tion frame on the Central Maine Fair grounds Tuesday afternoon by a score of S to G. The contest was to have lasted I,'it seven in nines, but owing to the fact that the score was tied, G to G, at the end of the seventh, a full nine-innings game was played. Both- teams showed up well, there being no errois by Augusta, and the four by Waterville were all excusable owing to the condition of the grounds. Rogers was batted freely by the visitors, and the errors cost a great deal. Gibbs showed up finely, and ihere is every reason to be lieve that the Capital City lias a strong team in the league. Features of the game were doubles by Finnemore, Dee and Henderson of Augusta, and Clark and Adams of Waterville.

TODAY'S AUGUSTA GAME. Augusta Plays Philadelphia Giants at Driving Park at 3.30. On account of the unfinished condi tion of {lie new League diamond, to day's game between the Augusta State Drogue team and the famous Philadephia Giants will lie played at the Driving park. The game will lie called at 3.3b. The colored team will be here today only, and not for two games as was first arranged. Tin* new Deague grounds will be ready for business when the regular season opens May 28. Notes of the Augusta Team. Two now mi n will make their ap pearance today against lie* Philadel phia Giants. Simmons and McClellan, both third basemen, will be given a tryout. The Augusta outfield is complete, and the infield will be as fast as any in the league by tile time the opening game is played. I,ee is showing up well at second, and Manager Wreath believes with a little more coaching he will make good. Gibbs looks like a winner. It is a toss up between tile other three pitch ers. Dupoo will have a chance to show his mettle against the Philadelphia Giants today. Manager Wreath thinks well of the big fellow and believes he will regain the form he lost at New York in his anxiety to make good in the National League. Henderson did some fine work at first yesterday. Out of five times at bat he knocked out four singles, be sides getting 1.1 putouts to bis credit. The Augusta team went through the game without an error. MAINE LEAGUE NOTES. Manager Heald of Lewiston said Saturday that Sparks had decided not to play with him this season on ac count of his not wanting to lose bis amateur standing. He says he has got a man from the Connecticut League who suits him just as well. Portland Kxpress: Pinkerton, the clever little infielder from Sanford, was signed by Manager Foley of the Port land State League team Tuesday on trial. Pinkerton will play third base, al though he has usually been at short stop; it is believed, however, that lie ea.n play either position equally well. This should give Portland a rattling good infield as soon as Baggans com mences to play his game. Conroy on first, Hanson at second, Pinkerton third and Baggans short stop. Boston Herald: Fred Doe waxed enthusiastic over his Providence team after the dual victories over the two Liston major league teams, but it has been shown already, as it has been often heretofore, that the club that makes a great showing against majors in the preliminary season often sags badly when the championship games are oil. d’h? Providence Journal says that the clrb ..Is two winning ulteh.-rs, a sea son'd catcher and a reliable, hard-hitting infielder. HOY A. HARTZEL. Till: .1 Baseman of the St. Louis Amerl can Club. TRACK “B” AWARDED. Nine Bowdoin Men Get it For Work in Inter-collegiate Meet. Brunswick, Me., May 21.—The Bow iloin College Athletic Advisory Coun cil held a sp'-eial meeting Monday afternoon to award tiie track B s and to decide on the number of nun to be sent to the Worcester meet next Sat urday.

The American tennis team which is go ng to Englano this summer to con test for the Davis cup began a week’s practice Monday on the Merion Crfck et Chib’s courts. Thursday, Friday and Saturday they will enter into a more serin.is contest in flu shape of a round robin tournament at Manhelm and the whiner will receive a hand some memento. W. J. Clothier, .na tional champion; Beals C. Wright,' E. R Dowhurst anti Karl 11. Behr were the players today. Wright and Behr were the winners. BASEBALL NOTES. Phil Gcier is playing shortstop for St. Paul. Dunleavy. Frisk and Koehler constitute the outfield. It's early, of course, but when the Clevelands can't beat the Wtiite Sox with George Davis and Tannehill out of the lineup, it does look rather dis appointing. Lajoie’s team will have to take a big brace to tie on top of the ladder, while up to the present writing there is no team in the American League that has done the even and strong work of the White Sox, and their chances look remarkably good. In 20 games the White Sox have land ed 13 and lost six and tied one. In those games they have scored 65 runs to 4.,, shutting out opposing clubs twice and holding them down to one run five times. Of the 45 runs against them, nine were made in one game, so •hat in 1!* games their opponents scored hut 26 runs, or less than 2 per cent. IN THE RING. Burns Must Post Forfeit By Noon Today, Otherwise Will Lose Chance li Meet Bill Squires. Unk Russell Gains Another Victory Over Amby McGarry. Sun Francisco, May 21.—fnl«« Tommy Burns posts his SSOO forfeit by Wedresday at noon, his fight with Bill Squires, scheduled to take place in f'olma on the afternoon of Julyt, will Is- calle d off and in all probability Jack Johnson will be substituted. ('oft rot li has received a message from Burns in L.0.3 Angeles in which Tommy soys iie is to fight Jim Flynn of Colorado June 7, and niter that will come to Sun Francisco. Coffroth replied that he would not agree to Burns tailing part in any fight prior »o the Squires battle, and informed the Canadian pugilist that he must put up his money at once. Tiie general impression is that Burns is afraid to take a chance with Squires. At al! events, Coffroth ad mits that ne dees not expect Burns to njgnt him. Squires lias already con sented to meet Johnson ANOTHER VICTORY Over Amby McGarry by Unk Russell at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, May 21—The Wash ington Sporting Club re-opened Monday night with five bouts between Philadel phia and X« w York boxers. In the windup I nk Russell of this city repeated a former victory over Amby McGarry of New York. The bout went the limit, six rounds, with Mc Garry in the last round partly overcom ing the lead which Russell had secured in the first five rounds. Russell was the aggressor except in tiie sixth? Both missel numerous swings for the jaw in the opening round, but each landed a number of hard blows on the body, while just be fore the b,-ll they went into a savage mixup. McGarry was wilder than ever in tiie second round. Russell’s best blows were landed on Amby’s ribs with his right, and there were some hard mixups which served to excite the crowd. The third round opened with a sav age clash in which each man held ids own. Russell got in some right swings to McGarry's face, and also list'd his left against tiie New Yorker’s face without apparently troubling Amby lurch. Kaoh man also got in some hard body punches. Russell got both hands to McGarry’s face and body in the fourth round, while McGarry in Id liis own at close range work. They went at it hard in the fifth round. Russell reached McGarry's face with two hard rights, but Amby fought back hard and they mixed it up. Mc Garry booked Russell on tiie mouth with his left. Russell finding that lie couldn’t land right swings on McGar ry's jaw. used a right uppercut with effect anl also drove Amby hack with right hand swings on the ribs. In the last round McGarry took the aggressive. There were some hard ex changes and mixups, with McGarry landing the harder blows. McGarry also shook Russell up with light hand swings on the jaw. I'nk came hack with some swings on McGarry's tace and body, but Amby continued to bore in and once more hammered Unk hard on the jaw. Both men were strong at tiie finish. Tiie show opened with Babe Cullen of Now York and Reddy Moore of this city putting up a tame bout. Jimmy Moran of New York and Frankie Moore of this city boxed a draw. Jack Nelson of New York stopped Bobby Davis of this city in the third round, and Kid Beebe of this city won from Frankie Paul of New York. HOT BOUT EXPECTED. Johnny Summers and Tommy Murphy Both in Great Condition. "When Johnny Summers, the crack featherweight of England, and Tommy Murphy step into the ring of the Na tional A. C. in Philadelphia Wednesday night, one of the fiercest battles evef seen between little fellows is bound to result. Both men have trained faith fully and are in the best possible con dition. Summers doing his work at Xew Dorp, S. I., and Murphy at Strat ford, Ct. Murphy is one of the fastest boys in his c lass in the world and that he has great hitting power was shown in his recent bout with Bender, when ho broke the latter's jaw. Summers is ad mittedly the best man in bis class in England and is considered by good judges to be the best man produced in that country since Charlie Mitchell's clays. Summers is a fast two-handed fighter on the Joe Cans style, and has a knockout ptjnch in either hand. OFF FOR DENVER. Joe Thomas Leaves Philadelphia To Meet Jack Twin Sullivan. Philadelphia, May 21.—Joe Thomas, the recognized champion welterweight of America, left Philadelphia Monday for Denver, where he is matched to meet Jack (Twin) Sullivan. Thomas does not like Eastern weather in the summer. Although born in New Eng land. be lias spent the greater part o his life on the Pacafic coast, and as a result suiters from the beat of East ern summers.

Corbett, two ex-cham pion., of tlie world, exhibit in this city tin* present week. The coincidence lies in the bat that it was in this city 17 years ago that the two men were mulched to light for the championship of the world, the telegram which I clinched the match being written by William A l’.radv on the same stage on which Sullivan appears ttiis week. The result of the contest, of course, is now a matter of history. Front a bank clerk in Sat*. Francisco. Corbett leaped to the pinnacle of pugilism. Possess-, ing some histrionic ability, he an nounced recently that lie wanted to be dissociated with the prize ring. On tlie contrary. Sullivan is eager to bo considered the ex-champion of cham pions. His ring record was without a pardlel. He was at Hie top for 12 years—the peer of two hemispheres with the gloves. He only met with one defeat anl then retired, tie lost a title but retained bis magnetism, and wherever he goes there is curiosity to see the man who won more contests inside of lour rounds than any other boxer in the world.

The straw hat and the peekaboo wai will get a show by the time the Glorious Fourth arrives. A frost in late May is an interesting thing to hear the oldest inhabitant talk about, but an exceedingly unpleasant thing to experience. One of the many remarkable things about the Panama canal is that the so called eastern end of it is farther west than its Pacific end. A ship passing through it from the Atlantic to the Pacific will travel a direction nearer eastward than westward, or about southeast to be more exact. A glance at the map will show how this comes about. Since the famous siege of Pekin ex Minister Conger, who has just died has not been much in the public eye, l»ut at that crisis he showed himself the kind of man whom all the world honors. He was not a trained diplomat, but his sound judgment and unwavering courage were just what the desperate situation demanded and he gave his country good reason to be proud of him. New York lias given up the Japanese jackies as a puzzle not to be solved. While tin two warships of the Mikado were in the harbor, over 700 of their men were given shore leave and in stead of raiding the Bowery, creating riots and running amuck generally, as sailors ashore are commonly supposed to do, these benighted little heathen; from the far East simply used their! time in seeing the city in a quiet and icspcctable way, keeping unanimously! sober and conducting themselves with civility and modesty on all occasions. Otr «f the arts of the New Hamp shire legislature which recently ad journed provides for trustees to man age the sum of .R’d.OOO which was Riven to New Hampshire by the governments itf Russia and Japan at the conclusion of the treaty negotiations which were carried on upon Maine soil. Maine \vi!i never be finite able to forgive her sister state for the false pretenses un der which it captured the glory attend ing the signing of that treaty. It is willing that New Hampshire should have the money, but to have it get the glory of a treaty which was negotiat ed and signed in ttie State of Maim will always lie considered a most un sisteriy performance.

This is calculated to strengthen the disposition tif the Italian government to adopt measures for the restriction of the great drain upon the country's popula tion and industry which is now going fin through emigration. A parlia mentary commission now investigat ing the problem will report in favor of repressive measures. What is the matter with New Eng land'.’ An enterprising magazine is about to answer this question with a series of articles in which each of the six states is to be taken up in turn, and judging from the preliminary an ltrunccmcnt the muckrnkers are about to be turned loose in this corner of the T'nion. Maine will first receive atten tion and the article devoted to it is to be entitled. “A Study in Land Grab bing. Tax Dodging and Isolation." We are told that the article will be one which will make Maine people sit up and take notice, but probably the ad vance advertising is put in this some-J what disconcerting style for the sake of stimulating the sale of the maga zine. The author of the series, by the way, is advertised as an “Iowa-born New Englander who conies to us by the way of Chicago." Help the Maine Sanatorium. The crusade against the “Great White I’iague” is now being vigorously pushed in every civilized country ir the world. Consumption was formerly a disease to be dreaded and to be met with as submissive a spirit as possible. Now it is known to be a curable dis ease if taken in its early' stages and this knowledge arouses the determin ation to meet and overcome this malignant monster that has destroyed so many valuable lives and carried sor row to so many homes in all the years that are past. No more efficient agency for combatting this insidious foe exists than the Maine Sanatorium. The good that it has already done is an earnest of w hat it can do if properly supported. It is in urgent need of funds to meet its indebtedness and to enlarge its accommodations to a capac ity of 100 patients as originally intend ed. It now has 5.r, patients, the limit of its present capacity. The officers of the Sanatorium call upon all the people of the State—men, women and children—to come to the aid of the Sanatorium with contribu tions according to their means and their interest in this work which is of so much importance to the State. It is hoped that this appeal will moot with a quick and hearty response; that in dividuals will send their own con tributions and that there may be those in every community who will read this and take sufficient interest to solicit funds from their friends and neighbors anil to organize fairs and entertain ments for the benefit of the Sana torium.

CVnsus bulletin No. 72 which has ju.-t been received, is devoted to the hoot and shoe busim ss of the country and the figures are those of 1905. At that time there were 1316 establish ments engaged in the industry with a capital of $122,526,093 and employing 150.000 wage earners. The cost of the materials that were used amounted to $19..365,195 and the products were valued at $320,000,000. The number of establishments was less by 283 or 17.7 per cent, than in 1900, but the bulletin gives no explanation of this large falling off in five years. In spite of the decrease in the number of establishments, the capital employed Increased 23 per cent, and the value of the products over 22 per cent, in the five year period, while tile number of "age earners increased nearly 6 per cent. Massachusetts still stands ftir in the front In this boot and shoe industry and over 40 per cent, of the capital, the wage earners and the pre dicts are credited to that state. This has been true ever since statistics of the boot and shoe manufacture were first issued. New York ranks next and then in order come Ohio, Missouri, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Maine, Illinois, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. I>f 'be war which gave us independence.1 Each year the newspapers of the I j I I I great cities make a plea for a FourtI of July celebration which will be mor pistols and Chinese fireworks. The old time celebration of the Fourtli when a heavy oration was the chief feature ol the program, is not likely to be re vived, but the kind of a celebratior which consists wholly of noise anti smoke, death and destruction is not creditable to a civilized country, and public opinion will not continue in definitely to tolerate it. The Proposed State Temperance Society. This afternoon at 2.30 o'clock a non politicai, non-sectarian meeting of be lievers in practical temperance will be held at Reception Hall, Portland. The object of the meeting will be the or ganization of a State Temperance So ciety whose sole work shall be “to en courage total abstinence by the ex ample and iniluence of its members.” Unquestionably there is opportunity for such a society to do a grand work in Maine supplementing the law by ap peals to all that is truest and best in human nature. When prohibition was incorporated in the constitution of our State, there was a feeling among the noble men and women who had so long, and at so much personal sacri fice, promoted tlie cause of total ab stinence among the people of our State, there there was no longer any call for a continuance of this kind of work, that the law could henceforth be depended upon to insure the practical results formerly secured through moral suasion. In a way it did even more. It closed up the open saloon. It put the ban of public condemnation upon the liquor traffic. It made it diffi cult for men to gratify their appetites for intoxicants; but it could not and did not stop the use of alcoholic li quors. The fact lias been demonstrat ed that so long as men give way to depraved appetites so long th -y will find means of gratifying them. It is evident therefore that there is still a chance to supplement the good work of the law, with work of the kind that proved so efficacious in the spread of temperance sentiment, and the promo tion of temperate living in the earlier life of the State. The only true tem perance man is a temperate man, and as we win men to the practice of per sonal sobriety and thrift, so do we build up in the community a healthy public sentiment that will stand firmly be hind the laws for the suppression of the liquor traffic and their enforcement. Moreover it will reach out a helping hand to the individual citizen striving to rise in manhood above the dj; bauehory of appetite to a place of honor and respect among his fellow men. Emerson lias told us that, “.Man is a bundle of relations—a knot of mots whose flower anti fruitage is the world." We live largely in our associations for '.vi‘ are all by nature social beings. Inasmuch therefore as these associa tions are mutually helpful and stimu lating. much easier does it become for our better selves to assert them selves and dominate our daily lives. A strong State temperance society hav ing for its object the encouragement of total abstinence through personal influence and example will be a power for good in the community, and every good citizen should feel under personal obligation to assist in and further its work in all possible ways. There is no greater fallacy than the assumption that the liquor traffic is a help to other business. It is a serious handicap to all legitimate interests. The man who spends his money in whole or in part for rum, becomes so much less a patron of the grocery store, the clothing store, the shoe store —of every business outside of the saloon. Industrial establishments have come more and more to appreciate the fact that intemperate employees are not profitable ones, and have become, by the pressure of business interests strong forces for the promotion ol practical temperance. No one influence ran reach al men. What would appeal to one would fail in reaching another.

Too Sick to Leave His Blackwell Island Cell. Change from Decent Style of Living Overcomes Him. Asks For Physician, Who Doubtless Attends to Needs, Xew Y'irk, May 21.—Abraham Hum mel, the lawyer who was committed to the penitentiary on Blackwell's Is land yesterday to (serve a year's sen tence fur conspiracy, was too ill to leave his cot in his cell in the peni tentiary today. When Hummel did not respond to the call for breakfast today, a deputy warden visited his ceil and. found him stiil in bed apparently unable to work and tending keenly the ffect of his imprisonment. Hummel asked that a physician he called and after an examination the regular prison physician sent to Manhattan for one ot the visiting physicians to join in dealing with the ease. His first day in the penitentiary at Blackwell's island found Abraham II. Hummel the lawyer, who was sen tenced for conspiracy in a condition which caused his removal to the hos pital. After his admission last night he retired to Ids eell without supper and today he did not re spond to the call for break!ust. To a deputy warden Hum mel said lie was too ill to conform to tin* usual prison loutine and asked that a doctor be called. The* physician found him in a condition of physical collapse and ordered the- lawyer removed to the hospital. Tie doctor said, however, that he* did not think Hummel's condi tion serious and that ho probably would lie able to begin his prison duties in a few days. HOBOES’ BANQUET.

Though the half yearly net profits of the Industrial Bank of Japan amount ed to $350,000. only $10,000 was paid out for "directors’ fees and bonuses." HOME RULE BILL. (Continued from Page One.) pie would reject such a measure and said that if all the cabinet ministers were as honest as the prime minister. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, more would be done for Ireland. Dr. Timmins, of lioston. Mass., the next speaker, scored Father Humph reys for the statements he had made to the convention. During the delivery of the last few speeches, the delegates were clamoring for a vote on the resolution and finally at 3 o'clock Mr. Redmond put the question. There was a tremendous chorus of "ayes” and when he asked for those who were opposed to its passage, there was no response. Then the convention rose, cheered heartily and the delegates streamed from the hall, leaving only a few to transact minor .business. ALL HOPE GONE. For Home Rule Legislation at Present Session of Parliament. Dublin. May 21.—The largest, most rep resentative and most harmonious conven tion which ever assembled in Ireland to day repudiated the plan for a limited Irish council, which was all the Liberal government had to offer in fulfillment of its campaign promises. This action killed the hope of any home rule legislation by tiie present Parliament, created a serious split in tlic government’s forces and may have far-reaching results. The temper of the convention was plain from the beginning. No one had a word to offer in behalf of the bill. Home rule or nothing was tlie unanimous sentiment aftd a resolution rejecting the measure proposed by John E. Redmond command ed every vote. The Irish parliamentarians had been deluged with resolutions from town coun cils and all sorts of official and unoffi cial bodies since their arrival in Dublin, all denouncing the bill. The country spoke in an unmistakable voice and the Irish members of Parliament cheerfully acquiesced to its will. Three thousand delegates came here to attend the con vention. The gathering was quieter than most Irish parliamentary meetings. The Amer ican delegates were all greeted enthusi astically. The keynote of the orations and of several resolutions introduced was that the bill was an insult to Ireland. Richard Croker was cheered at the even ing session of the convention when the chairman announced that he had contrib uted $500 to tbe Irish parliamentary fund. Subsequently resolutions were adopted railing upon the government to fulfill its pledges of legislation for the relief of evicted tenants as well as for university and primary education. Mr. Redmond had requested Dennis O’Sullivan of San Francisco to sing “God Save Ireland.” and before adjournment Mr O'Sullivan mounted the platform and rendered tbe song. The closing scene of the convention was most enthusiastic. All the delegates, as well as the ladies who crowded the galleries, were on their feet singing the cl.orus with Mr. O’Sullivan.

Start the Bowels When you suffer with sick headache, biliousness, torpid liver, tainted breath or stomach ills—start the bowels. Health demands that they move naturally at least once a day; otherwise poisons are thrown back into the blood and the whole body becomes a lodging place for disease. Keep the bowels open with BEECHAM’S PILLS when there is the slightest evidence of irregularity, and you will be free from the complaints caused by sluggish bowels or an inactive liver. The action of Beecham’s Pills is gentle but thorough. Fifty six years before the public, their wonderful success as liver and bowel correctives, has won first place for them as Nature’s Constipation Cure In boxes with full directions, ioc. and 25c. “A FAIR FACE MAY PROVE A FOUL BAR GAIN.” MARRY A PLAIN GIRL IF SHE USES SAPOLIO Grandfather’s Cure for Constipation REAT medicine,—the Sawbuck. Two hours a day sawing wood will keep anyone’s Bowels regular. No need of pills. Cathartics, Castor Oil, nor Physic,” if you’ll only work the Saw buck regularly. Exercise is Nature's Cure for Constipa tion and,—a Ten-Mile walk will do, if you haven’t got a wood-pile. But, if you will take your Exerciseinan Easy Chair, there's only one way to do that, because,—there's only one kind of Artificial Exercise for the Bowels and its name is ''CASCARETS.'' Cascarets are the only means to exercise the Bowel Muscles without work.

They don’t Purge, Gripe, nor “upset your Stomach,” because they don’t act like “Physics.” They don't flush out your Bowels and Intestines with a costly waste of Digestive Juice, as Salts, Castor Oil, Calomel, Jalap, or Aperient Waters always do. No—Cascarets strengthen and stimulate the Bowel Muscles, that line the Food passages and that tighten up when food touches them, thus driving the food to its finish. A Cascaret acts on your Bowel Muscles as if you had just sawed a cord of wood, or walked ten miles. Cascarets move the Food Naturally, digesting it without waste of tomorrow’s Gastric Juice.

The thin, flat, Ten-Cent Box is made to fit your Vest pocket, or “My Lady’s'* Purse. Druggists—10 Cents a Box. Carry it constantly with you and take a Cascaret whenever you suspect you need one. Be very careful to get the genuine made only by the Sterling Remedy Com pany, and never sold in bulk. Every tab ,let stamped’’CCC.” 7a RAILROADS AND STEAMBOATS EOOTH BAY AND THE ISLANDS SEASON OF 1907 STEAMER GARDINER CAFT. ROBT. F. WJ'.STMAN Commencing Saturday, May 25.

The 3rst application I was able to lay out straight in bed—what I had not done in seven weeks—but had to sit on the side of the bed with mv feet resting on the floor. Have used throe bottles of your liniment and it lias loosened the cords so that I can sleep nights. I was able to go to work this week and the rheumatism has not both ered me any only on damp days.

Many people in Augusta both men and women, who believe themselves to be in perfect health, ate often in the greatest danger. Indigestion, which is so common a trouble, is the principal cause of the greater share of the general poor health. It has misleading symptoms that seem to have no reference to the stomach, such as headache, sleepless ness, specks before the eyes, pains in tin hack and side, etc. The success of physicians every where with the prescription that is now embodied in Mi-o-na stomach tablets has made ttiis remedy in Hu last few years the acknowledged specific for the treatment of stomach diseases. The secret of this success lies ia the fact that Mi-o-na is pre pared expressly to strengthen the digestive organs and its use for a few days puts the whole digestive system in such shape that it can care for all of the food that is eaten without pain or distress.
