Carver of lioston said tliar i money indemnity can well pay the owners j of the ship on which seizure of articles [called contraband is made, and the liter- 1 chant who owns the cargo. lie thought, a resolution should he passed giving the! right of seizure to the belligerent and placing a fair market value to the neu- tral for the cargo seized. Referring to i Mr. Ttrowne’s remarks on free trade and protection lie said that was of course a j policy for each nation to decide for itself. Speaking of custom house valuations he thought trade treaties might ho arranged which would greatly simplify the apprais al of invoices of goods. As it is now in the United States, the importing mer chant often has to hoar a penalty which also affects the consumer. Uord Justice Kennedy thought the cus tom of treating the captain of a ship as the agent of the owner of the goods re garded ns contraband is right. As it is today, earn mere-» is sometimes paralyzed bv tl owners not knowing what i-* going j to happen to the cargo cf the ship. j Tl»** comm unioat ion by M.

He stated that the conference could not consider religious subjects. Everett 1*.

Lawrence P. Evans of Tufts College spoke briefly on tHo question of treaties of reciprocity, holding that they are high ly beneficial to nil nations. Prof. Noble Gregory of Iowa Uni versity said that the several states of this union have no treaty making powers, having surrendered those powers wholly to th* federal government. E. If. Fan ah of New Orleans said the treaty making power of the government of the United States is subject to limita tions. He did not think it was in the power of the federal government to make am treaty which would interfere with the sovereign rights of any state. A general discussion followed in regard to the powers of the government of tho United States not only in making trea ties but in the treatment of aliens ami in heritance of real estate. A wide diversity of opinion was developed. Mr. Wheeler said probably .all wbuld agree in the opinion that no treaty would 1 e valid that was contrary to the pro visions of the constitution of the United States.

MANSFIELD DEAD. America’s Foremost Actor Dies at New London. Relatives Surround Dealli Bed of Dying Thespian. Mansfield Rose From Poverty to Affluence by Genius. Xew London, Conn., Aug. 30.—Rich ard Mansfield, the greatest exponent of Shakespearean drama in this country, and one of the best known actors oh tile American stag*-, passed away this morning at his summer residence. Sev en Oaks, Ocean avenue. Death was di rectly due to disease of the liver, ag gravated hy complications. I'r. A. II. Allen, a local physician, who has been in charge since Mr. Mansfield’s arrival hi re from Saranac Lake, states that death was not entirely unexpected, al though this fact had not been made public. Mr. Mansfield’s condition had been reported as being excellent. It was stated that he stood the jour ney well from Saranac I-ake and that he was up and around his home hero until three days ago. Then a turn for the worse set in and Mr. Mansfield was confined to his room. On Thursday Dr. McClellan of Pittsburg, was summoned. Dr. Allen said today that he had feared the worst for several days. There wero fpiiri a number of conditions that pre vented his getting well. During the great actor’s last moments, he was ly ing in a condition of coma and did not recognize the loved ones at his bedside. There were present at the time of his death, his wife, Mrs. Mansfield, his brother. Felix Mansfield, his young son. Gibbs Mansfield, and the physicians and nurses. The body was given in charge of an undertaker and will he prepared for burial. Richard Mansfield was born on the little island of Heligoland on May 24. IS",7. llis mother was Mme. Mansfield Rudersdorf, a famous prima donna and it was from lier that Mansfield Inher ited his love for the arts. The actor studied at several schools on the con tinent and then went to England t® study art in the South Kensington. London. The young artist made a pre carious living painting pictures and many times his only meal in those early days in London was a hot potato! Isnight from a street peddler. “I used to hold the potato to warm my hands." said Mansfield In relating his experiences, "and then eat it." The struggle for a livelihood proved dis couraging to Mansfield and he came to Boston, where for a time he entered a business life as a salesman in a dry goods house. Commercial life was not congenial to the temperament of the young man and he returned to Eng land. He then turned his talents toward the stage. As a singer and comedian he joined a strolling company at a salary of $15 a week. Even in those early days of his stage career he displayed the charac teristics and mannerisms which marked liis work and stamped it as his own many years after. Mansfield turned his whole artistic bent to the study of tho stage and waited for an opportunity to show what he could do. Several years were spent playing small parts in tours of the English provinces and then Mansfield came to this country, where his first appearance was made in Les M.mteaux Noirs at the Standard The atre. Later he played the part of Nick Vcdiier in Rip Van Winkle. Mansfield's genius had so far failed to make Itself manifest to his associates but In 1883 his opportunity came when A. M. Palm er put on the "Parisian Romance." J. Stodilart was cast for the part of Baron Chevrial in the play. Stoddart at the last minute declined to play tho part, with which lie said he was not In full sympathy. (Continued on Page Five.) Linen Collar Saves Life of E. P. Connerly at Glen Summit, Pa.

TIIE first stage of Bright’s Dis ease of the kidney* i» known as the catarrhal stage. Catarrh of the mucous membrane lining the kidneys is the first act of a drama that often ends as a tragedy. To stop the catarrh is to head off the disease. If Brig h t’s Disease can be relieved during the catarrhal stage all will be well. I’eruua has achieved a reputation for mitigating catarrh of the in ternal organs. This explains why Poruna has been used with so much success diseases. Catarrh of the Bladder Mr. James M. Powell, 431 Kensington street, Kansas City, Mo., writes: “About four years ago 1 suffered with a severe catarrh of the bladder whteli caused continued irritation and pain. I was miserable, and could not stand j up or walk for any length of time with-1 out extreme weariness and pain. “I began taking Peruna and it greatly i relieved me, and iu eleven weeks 1 was completely cured, and felt like a new man.” Kidneys and Liver Affected. Mrs. Carrie King,730 North Cascade, Colorado Springs, Col., writes: “I'eruna lias been my favorito and only household remedy for nearly five ^•ears. I have suffered for years with biliousness, and kidney and liver trouble. If I caught a little cold, the pains were increased, and backache and headache werp of frequent occurrence. “However, Peruna cured me— twelve bottles made me a new and healthy woman. For three years I have enjoyed the best of health. I keep Peruna con stantly in my home, if my husband or I catch cold or feel indisposed, a few doses of Peruna never fall to restore us. Mr. M. T. Gaffney, Corpus Christ!, Texas, writes: “I can certify to the truthfulness of j Peruna as a catarrh cure, and am roe orninending it to every one. 1 am prac tically well of the catarrh in my nose.' throat and head.” 1 Mr. William F. Lothamer, former president of the Boss Barters’ Union, a noted polilician and at one time chair man of the Democratic Ktato Central Committee, writes from 190ti South 4th Ave., Minneapolis, Minn.: “For years I suffered with severe disease of the kidneys. I would have pains all over my body, and at times have sueli dizziness in my head that I could not seejuor work. “Nights I tfould often be awake with pain so I etiild get no rest. I spent hundreds of'dollars on doctors and drugs, and had ceased to have faith in either. “My druggist told me one day of the praise his customers gave to Peruna, and advised me to try it, offering to re turn my money if it did not help me. I purchased a few bottles. I kept getting better. The medicine did its work, and iu four mouths 1 was a well man." SOUTH CHINA Mr and Mf.

Many radical changes have taken place with in the past week that anybody who lias not been there for a long time woiil 1 not think it was the same place. Wait until it has been finished, then many cities in Xeu England can not boast of a better exhibition ground. The work at present is confined chief ly to the new extension, which, when completed, will he a park in itself and every exhibitor is real anxious to have his location in this new spot. Tito board fence lias been set over to the extremity of the new purchase, which includes 20 acres. The road for the now entrance has been plowed up, and will be ?0 feet wide. Several small ress reads are to be built and the ground laid off into sections. Carriages Cf all description will enter at this cn trance anti places "ill hob uilt to bo i;sed as hitching posts.

West of the large grand stand, bleachers are to be erected, which will sent 1000 people. New boxes have been put in front of the grandstand and a great many accommodations added. The grain, which was planted some time ago in the center of the park, will be cut today and used as fodder for tbe cattle. This grain was planted with th" Men of making a good sod. Every thing will be finished and in first-class shape when the great exhibition opens. A RUNAWAY.

Atlantic city, Aug. 30.—W. C. Delhi, one of the best swimmers along the coast, owes his It ft* >o the bravery of Miss Margueriie«ihil! anil Miss Ccrt riule O'Sullivan,, two pretty Pittsburg girls, who faced death in a roaring surf to drag the young man from the waves after he had been seized with cramps. A crowd of a thousand spectators saw the thrilling tight from the beach and board walk. Diehl and the two girls were bathing, when lie decided to take a long swim beyond the heavy breakers. When the young man ban swam out to sea and turned to come back he was suddenly gripped by crump and sank before he could call for help. The girls saw him go down, and, al though their lack of swimming ability had kept them from going out with him, both plunged into the deep water and paddled to where Diehl was just rising to the surface. By this time spectators had realized the danger of the three and lifeguards with botits reached the spot while the girls were still supporting the half drowned man. Roth young women made light of their bravery when they reach ed shore, but were compelled to walk to their boat houses through a double line of men and women, who insisted on shaking hands and congratulating them on their pluck. MISS SUTTON THE ATTRACTION. Draws Much Attention in Tennis Matches at Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Much Interest In Bouts Scheduled For Labor Day. There is considerably interest in the Papke-Sullivan fight, to be held at Lawrence Labor day, and though the betting favors Sullivan, the Westerner will not lack for supporters. The contest will fce held in Glen For est, and is for l'> rounds to a decision. The appearance of the muck talked of Papke in the East is an event of inter est to followers of the game. He stands r> leet inches tail, weighs in condition l'l pounds, and although only 2d years of age he has tieen in the ring for over two years. During that time he has faced some of the best men in the countrv and lias never tasted defeat. Papke realizes he has a formidable task in front of him to defeat Tommy Sullivan. The rigorous training he has done at Desmond Hill under the care of George Byers has put the Westerner into excellent physical condition, and when he strips for action Monday after noon lie w ill present a picture of physi cal perfection. On the oilier hand, Sullivan realizes that litis gives him the chance he lias long looked for to establish his ability as a first class boxer, and he has put in three weeks at North boro of hard, faithful, conscientious work, until to day, it is sate to say he is in grand shape, and able to go the full distance at a fast clip. The recent edict of the Philadelphia authorities prohibiting rougli house tac tics in the six-round fights will cause mich gloom among the scrappers, who rely op infighting to bring home the money. The announcement will be particular ly hard on Tommy Murphy, the Harlein scrapper, as this gent is at his best at infighting, and the fart that the New Yorker is billed to meet Fighting Dick Hyland in two weeks is apt to cause a little uneasiness among the Gothamites. Hyland’s long suit is fighting at long range, and wit clean breaks. The roug work has been quite prominent in the bouts held at the Quaker City recently, and the authori ties desire to take this action before serious trouble results. Maurice Sayers, the Milwaukee light weight, evidently doesn’t like the cali ber of scrap exhibited by Rudolph Un hnltz, as he has side-stepped the 211 round fight carded for Ogden, Utah. Labor day. The club has, however, booked Cyclone Johnny Thompson as substitute. Johnny Oliver, manager of Tommy Murphy, has unearthed a new training spot in the Adirondack mountains, and the people who have seen Murphy work out declare it is the best place for conditioning in New York state. Murphy is under the care of In arranged for the Winnismmet show. Pete Leclair will meet Sam Kelly, the teamster champion, and Hill McKin non, the champion of America, will meet Jack Grant of Kast Poston. The Hartley Connolly-Kddb- Harvey bout, which was billed for Manches ter, X. H., Labor day, has been de clared off owing to a misunderstand ing. The men will be brought togeth er next month. Not to be outdone by the baseball players, Charlie Xeary, the Milwaukee scrapper, has added a headgear to his trilling paraphernlia which will pro tect his face in the training work outs. Harry Scro'ggs. the clever Ra It inhere lightweight, will hook up with Jack Lowery in a ten-round bout at the Brown A. A. tomorrow night. Jack “Twin” Sullivan has been of fered a match with Jim Flynn before the Pacific A. C. of Los Angeles, pro vided Flynn Is successful in his fight with Tony Ross at Pueblo next month. Walter Little has hern offered two bouts by the Summit City A. C. of Fort Wayne, and to accept the offers Little will have a chance to make or break, as the club has offered to put the fast lightweight against Abe At tell and Packie McFarland. Little is willing to meet Attell at 12G pounds, ringside, and McFarland at 130 pounds. Kid Oarmer is looking for a match with Jimmy Gardner at 142 pounds. Abdul, the Terrible Turkish Kid. whose debut in the squared circle in the fight with Fred Cooley resulted in an awful walloping, has decided to forsake the ring, and will henceforth devote his attention to selling fruit. Battling Nelson has sought the se cluded spots since his fight with Jim my Britt. This must not be taken as a criterion as to what the Battler's future or actions will he. Billy Nolan is too astute a manager to keep Nel son out of the public gaze for any extended length of time.

Boston, Aug. 30.—Judging from the ar rangements, tiie feature attractions book ed and tbe great interest taken by the local dealers in entering ears in the many events scheduled, tbe automobile race meet to be held at the Readville track on Labor day, under the auspices of the Bay Plate Automobile Association will excel anything ever seen at this track before and bids fair to surpass anything ever held on a circular track in ti is country up to date. The bringing together of two such race kings as Christie and Marriott, both world famed drivers, reflects great credit upon the committee, and their reward will be a large crowd oi the day of the races. Christie, the man who made a name for liimseif on the seaward coast of Florida, on the Vanderbilt course on Loti Island and on tbe many tracks throughout the coutry, really needs no introduction, for his prowness as a race driver is lauded and respected both in this country and abroad. With ids won derful front wheel drive, which has time ami time again whizzed over tho ground at the rate of ninety miles an hour, lie will attempt to break the five mile circular track records. Such a trial would be worth going miles to see, and it is safe lo say that not many enthusi asts within a Ad-mile radius of Boston will miss seeing this great driver at tempt to smash a few records. Not satisfied with giving the peoplo a chance to see this great king, the race committee went one step farther in their determination to get the best in the country. They secured Fred Marriott and his Stanley racer, the holder of the one mile and five-mile world’s records, he having accomplished the mile on Ormond Beach in January, 1906, in 2$ts seconds. Last winter at Ormond this same driver was determined to lower the mile record to 25 seconds but was seriously injured in a trial. This driver will be seen at his host at Readville next Monday and the match between hitn and Baldwin of Prov idence, each racing Vanderbilt cars, the best two oat of three heats for one mile, should be a decided feature. Both men will use the same cars with which they did duty at Oimond last winter, and which were so evenly matched that there was hardly two-fifths of a second differ ence in their relative speed at the five mile mark. Baldwin is by no means un known as a race driver, in fact, in tha steamer class he is considered second only to Marriott as a driver. The rivalry between these two men is keen, however, and one can rest assured that the race will he for blood. Tite entiies for the other events closed yesterday, and while the touring car, run about and stock chassis events were tilled, two events lack sufficient number of entries to continue them on the pro gram. They wer the class open to steam ers and the five-mile for cars constructed prior to 1W. There was hut one entry for the old car class, and in view of tl.e fact, the committee reluctantly decided to abandon both of these events. DATE IS SET. Football Practice at Harvard Sched duled to Begin Sept. 18. Cambridge, Mass., Aug. 30.—Football practice at Harbanl will .begin Sept. 18, this being the date settled upon by Capt. Bartnl Parker and Coach Joshua Crane at a conference yesterday, Par ker has issued the cal! to his men and expects that most of them will show up for the first day of practice, which is a week before the beginning of the col lege term. “We are going to start in our foot ball work early,” said Capt. Parker last night, “and from the very opening we are going to get down to business. First, however, the practice will be light, end probably will be held only in the afternoon. If the weather should be cool, though, we might possibly practice twice a day, but this seems unlikely. “Most of the players will be back for the start, I expect, so that we can all get our hands into the work at the same time. The coaches, too, will be there for the ISth. and Coach Crane will he in charge of the men from the moment the tirst punt Is sent away. Plenty of assistants will be on the gridiron also, and I expect that Brown, Cuts, Hall, Beaty and rerhaps others will be in their football togs front the beginning. “Of course this is no time to make any sort of a forecast of the season or what the prospects of the tea are. We have not lost many men by gradua tion, and there is some good new ma terial coming from last year’s eleven, but it is impossible to say how these new men will work in with the older. Our prospects seem little bettor or poorer than in former years.” BOXING NOTES. Billy Madden, the sporting man and manager of boxers, is being boomed for sheriff of Brooklyn. Mafflt Flaherty has been picked to referee the Papke-Sullivan bout at Lawrence Labor day afternoon. Harry Forbes of Chicago, who was one of the best bantams In the country a few years ago. is going to re-enter the ring. He has grown to be a light weight, and he is booked to meet Packy McFarland in Denver next month.

Manager Mack, himself, said that he has never seen such great work in any team. Harry Gessler goes to the Boston American club for the season of 1908. President Bryce yesterday officially an nounced the sale of the heaviest-hitting Columbus player to John I. Taylor's team. It is very rrobable that some thing like $2500 changes hands on the deal. George Davis is playing as good a game at short at present as he ever played in his life, critics say. He ha* regained his speed, which has been han dicapped by a lame ankle for many weeks during the season, and several times of late the veteran has beaten out bunts. “Batters hit safely off me oftener when I am trying to work them,” says Jack Pfister. “I put the first one right over nearly always, and I put on it all I can. Almost invariably the batter lets that go by, and I have a little some thing -n him. Then X try to outguess him on the next, and still get it over. With two strikes and no balls I am in a position to waste a couple working the corners of the plate. It Is off these balls, on the outside or inside of the plate, that most of the base lilts are made off me.” Chief Zimmer has picked a team com posed of what he calls champions of a11 champions. It is as follows: Bennett, catcher; John Clarkson, pitcher: Comis key, first base; Pfoffer, second base; Nash, third base; Glasscock, shortstop: Tip O’Neil, left field; Hanlon, center field: Thompson, right field. A majority of present day fans would make the team more modem. Doubtless some of them would find room for Gy Young, Jimmie Collins, Hugm Jennings, Chris ty Mathewson, Hans Wagner and Na poleon Lajoie on the team. Jack Gilmore, son of Harry Gilmore, the veteran lightweight, has beer, ap pointed boxing instructor for a private club at Pittsburg.

Mansfield, who had boon cast for a I small part in the play, stepped for-1 ward and begged permission to play the 1 part of the palsied dissolute old French nobleman. Mansfield lifted what ai first1 seemed but a small eccentric part to one of all-absorbing interest. The publi and the critics forgot the play to talk! o| Mansfield's Maron Chevrial and from that day Mansfield became a leading' figure on the American stage. After several years playing in several different plays which he carried to a degree of success by his powerful per- I suitably, he became a star in 1 stS7, when ho appeared in Prince Karl. 1 Mansfield returned to Knglund where! his Huron Chevrial. I)r. Jekyl and Mr. I Hyde and Prince Karl wore declared! masterpieces of character painting. He I produced Itichard III, while in Kngland and then returned to this country where he played uninterruptedly, season after season. Mansfield produced Itostrand's Cyrano De Bcrgerde in America and scored a great success. The last effort ol his genius was displayed in a re markable production of IsLcn's Peer Gym. Richard Mansfield married Beatrice Cameron in 1S92. She had been for sev eral years his leading lady, hut shortly litter her marriage she retired perma nently from the stage. Mansfield's young son was never permitted to s. e his father act as it was the artist's wish that his child's mind should not bo impressed with stage life too early in life. The intense nervous strain under which Mr. Mansfield worked caused a, complete breakdown last spring while the actor was playing an engagement in Scranton, Pa., though lie had been in poor health for some time. He reeov i red suMicientlv to enable him to make a voyage to Kngland for his health. The Knglish climate failed to benefit the actor and several weeks ago he re turned to tills country and went to Ampersand in the Adirondurks. Mr. Munslield longed to he at his summer home in Xew London, Conn., and si v cral days ago he was taken there on his private car. Mr. Mansfield had a home on Riverside Drive in New York. SEASON IS OVER. Racing at Saratoga Is Ended—Dande lion Wins Champlain Handicap. Saratoga, X. Y„ Auk. 30.—Racing cmne to an end here Thursday for the present season. Four favorites were defeated again and many of tile players went home with empty p ick ets. K. It. Hitchcock’s Dandelion, it to r», favorite, was forced to a drive to will the Champlain handicap at a mile and a furlong hy half a length from John Fnford's Vails, a to 3, who ran a good race and beat oxford, la to 1, by three part of a length. Dr. Oardner, 7 to 3, led for about half the distance and tin n e enforced at the cjrand Circuit meet ing next week. Mr. Welch, it is stat 'd has called upon Mr. licukland and as sured him that cooperation will bo given, so that there will be no "pub lic betting" and "no tent erected for pool selling." Special acts give the Hartford city police jurisdiction over tlie race track, but the claim has been made that pool selling has been in the town if West Hartford and has been unmo lested. ONLY ONE FAVORITE Comes Under Wire a Winner Thurs day at the Empire City Track. New York, ug. 30.—A single favor ite, ITetcnsion, in tin- Valhalla handi cap, won Thursday at the Empire City track. The suite of Prince Wil helm of Sweden witnessed four of the races. The prince had been expected to attend, but was not present.

St. Louis lias lost throe islands, though the names are as well remem bered now as when the islands them selves were actually in existence. One is P.lnody Island, just opposite the city. The old timers used to go there to fight their duels, and In those days the river channel ran on the Illinois side of the island, and except in high water there was only a slough between Pt. Louis and the dueling ground. The govern ment and railroad works put Bloody Island on the Illinois side, and now a good part of K'ast Pt. Louis is built over the sand bar that was once a thicket of willows. Arsenal Island, too, used to be on this side of the river, and boys rolled up their trousers ami waded across the narrow slough from a point a little south of the workhouse. The boats went on the other side of the island, but the channel began cutting into the Illinois farms at such a rate that the government threw up a dike just across from the arsenal, turned the river to this side, the island was joined to the Illinois shore, was finally purchased by the state of Illinois from the city of Pt. Louis and the former bed of the river is now covered by farms. Duncan's island was a big sand bar that began near the foot of Lam! street and extended north to Oeyer avenue. It was purchased by the Iron Mountain Railroad Company, which wanted to locate its yards in that neighborhood and filled up the site with earth from Picot's hill in Carondelet.

Swiss law entitles a hotel keeper to com pensation under such circumstances, but, considering the probability that the disease is contracted Inside the establishment rather than outside it would seem that the customer lias, prima facie, quite as good a claim to compensation. Although the sanatorium to which the patient is compulsorily removed under such circumstances as the fore going is a public institution, the charges are C7 a week, irrespective of medical fees and the cost of disin fecting the place from which the patient is removed. In this state of things, it would seem worth while for visitors to Switzerland, at the time of year when infectious disease is about, to try to come to some understanding beforehand ns to what they will be liable for in the event of their catching anything unpleasant. After all, hotel accommodation is, as a rule, cheaper and better in Switzerland than any where else in the world, and I should think the better class of hotel keepers will not be found very stubborn in standing on their rights when their visitors are in trouble.—London Truth. The Klondike country proper—that is, tliat portion of tlie Yukon territory in the vicinity of Dawson—as far as the individual miner is concerned, is on the rapid decline owing to the immense area of ground being acquired by dredging companies. One company alone has purchased nearly all of the placer ground on the three principal creeks, namely: Bonanza. Eldorado and Hunker and has bonded considerably more on Dominion and other creeks. This: has practically depopulated these creeks for various reasons. Where for merly hundreds of miners were work ing for wages or working their own ground, thus Treating a demand for provisions, clothing, machinery, hard ware, etc., and the transportation from Dawson to the different mining opera tions, now dredges are either operat ing or in course of construction—Con sular Deports.

Daily Kennebec Journal ESTABLISHED 182S No notice whatever will be taken of unsigned communications. The Journal cannot be held reeponsible for the preservation or return of re jected communications. Address all communications relating to subscriptlops and advertisements to BURLEIGH FLYNT, Publishers, Augusta, Maine. Saturday, August 31, 1907. Even Wall Street docs not claim that the President's recent speech caused any depression in the price of agricul tural products. No less than 94 of the 119 counties of Kentucky are now under the prohib itory law. Even in Texas 154 counties are now ‘'dry.” There are always three parties in volved in a strike the employer, the employee and the public, and fre quently it is the last who suffers the most. Hetty Green is reported as declaring that she has no use for society girls of the present day and generation. This Is doubtless true. Hetty has never been noted as an entertainer. The Chicago Record-Herald says that the world is on tiptoe in anxiety for news about Walter Wellman’s trip to the north pole in an airship. Most peo ple have not noticed it, however.

American manufacturers of horse shoes have just received an order for 100,000 sets from Great Britain. Pos sibly the Britons have an idea that a fair measure of American good luck will be thrown in with them. The Chicago Record-HoraId expresses the opinion that the newly proclaimed sultan of Morocco will not bo able to keep his Job very long. He may con sider himself lucky if he succeeds in keeping his head John 'V. Oates is said to deny most strenuously the report that he has he roine an English gentleman. The rumor would appear to he entirely gratuitous, lie has. it seems, merely become an Englishman. Tin- presence of Secretary Root at Trainer Aluldoon's famous sanitarium and larin mar White Plains, New York, has given that institution and its ruler a large amount of free advertising. Ap parently. however, the results attained there would Justify it. The I nited States bureau of statis lies has recently published the report of the Alaskan trade for the fiscal year of l"li7 and it is one that makes exceed ingly interesting rending. During the 12 months the trade amounted in round numbers to 0‘)0_nue which is (tie larg est we have had in any one year since the territory came under the control of the I nited States, a gain of lift per cent, nvi r tin' record of the previous year, end yet it was not so many years ago that cer'aiu anti-imperialists were wont to make considerable sport over the purchase of this territory from the Russian government. Events have only served t«• demonstrate their narrowness and short sighted ness. In his memoirs published in the Sep tember number of McClure’s magazine the late Carl Scluirz tells of going into battle under the strong premonition that li would l.o killed in it. This feel ing possessed him until a shell burst near him. breaking the four legs of hiij orderly’s horse anti buring itself in a neighboring l.ank without further dam age. From that moment Mr. Sehurs's fears vanished for he declared himself, '•’this was the one hut it did not kill me after all." This instance in the history of a well-known public man simply il lustrates the fact that most of the things people* worry about never come to pass. Premonitions are numerous enough but they are so rarely realized that the exceptions only go to prove the rule. orrying never helped any man or woman, hut, on the other hand, has doubt less, killed more of them than work. Then* has long boon a conviction among many citizens of Augusta who* have taken the bains to acquaint them selves with actual conditions, that ttnro has he. n altogether too much social »l'v, 1S3; in 1906, 156; in 1907, 164. The reduction, however, is less encoura ging when it is noted first, that the lower figures are due to the lessening of the number of fatal tetanus cases and, second, that such lessening is due not so much to altered methods of celebration as to improved and more thorough methods of surgical treat ment after the injury. Thus the fatal tetanus cases are shown to be in 1903. 406; in 1904, 91; in 1903, 87; in 1906, 75, and in 1907, 62. The tables show that of the 102 deaths aside from tetanus, gunshot wounds caused 20, giant firecrackers caused 13, and 13 deaths were due to explosions of powder, torpedoes and dynamite. Ten deaths were due to falls or runaways caused by firecrack ers. tine person was drowned be cause a “practical joker” threw a giant cracker into a boat crowded with young people. “The extremity at tolerance is reached, however,” says tlie Journal, “when we know that 31 persons were burned to death, the ma jority of these being young girls and children whose dresses so easily catch fire.” Blank cartridges are still re sponsible for the great majority of cases, 52 (or 71 p.c.) of all eases this year being due to that cause. Only 12 persons were completely blinded this year, or in less than last year; 75 people lost one eye this year, or three more than last year, but 31 less than in 1905; 57 lost an arm or a hand this year, or one more than last year, and 237 persons lost one or more fingers tiiis year, this being lo more than last year. lhe Journal unqualifiedly con demns the giant cracker as "the prin cipal cause of the most mutilating wounds,” ranking it for deadly effect with the toy pistol. This year 14S9 injuries. Including 13 deaths and eight cases of lockjaw, were due to the giant cracker. Firearms rank second in causing mutilating wounds, being re sponsible for SO 2 injuries and 24 deaths, including four cases of teta nus. There should be no need of ar gument in the face of such figures. It is said that tourists have spent .*.>o,iihii,ono in New Hampshire this sum mer. If this is true, Maine should have had several times that amount. W Idle the Granite State has undoubted ly had a prosperous year’ we do not imagine that its summer business has aggregated anywhere near the figures stated. Tile present season has un questionably been a record breaker for both New Hampshire and Maine and the money which has been left in these two states by summer visitors will constitute a very large and impor tant factor in their prosperity. Aimtlur English castle and “family seat” is said to be for sale. If reports ir> .'rue however, there are many Eng lish "mansions” at the present time wliieii laek toe comfort and conve ne nee of a modern American apart ment house.

Fortunate is the man who has been putting off his vacation until Sep tember. Most of the ehurehes re-open tomor row, but they get a lot of campmecting competition. Every lair lias its fat woman of course, but Lewiston is to have three next week, each weighing over 400 pounds. It is figured that Old Orchard’s town debt was inereased $22,000 by the b^g lire, but it is difficult to see how tlvfV know about that yet.

The death of Capt. James Parker at .Manset removes the man who has done more than any other one man in the •it vclopinent .f the fishing industry of Hancock county. Capt. Parker came to .Manset from Gloucester, Mass., "5 years ago. and established the business which lias gradually grown to its present pro portions as one of the largest in eastern Maine. At no time in the history of Fort Fairfield have their been so many buildings in course of erection as at present, it is claimed. Most of the ten or twelve dwellings are of the latest styles of architecture and of substan tia! construction, and are located in the best lesidence streets of the village. The contractors and master builders are somewhat handicapped by a scarci ty. of skilled house carpenters, but are pushing the work along as fast as possible. Added to these building op erations. the improvements on the streets and extentionwof sidewalks fur nishes employment to a large number of men and gives the village a busy and prosperous appearanee. County Commissioner Fred R. Page of Hancock county, residing on a farm some four miles out of Buckspnrt, was surprised to sec a couple of deer jump into bis barnyard the other day. He had just stabled his team after hauling in a load of liav, and as he came out saw a deer bolt over a hammock oc cupied Py his daughter, and continue ever the fence, coming to a halt only af ter entering bis barn. Mr. Page is of the opinion these deer were in the road, and were frightened by an automobile that passed his house soon afterwards. The discussion of the nine o'clock boll which iias now been carried on in the columns of the Brunswick Record for five wor ks lias thus far proved un profitable of results. Tile Record there fore suggests, that if the citizens wish to havt the ringing of the evening bell resumed it would he well to take some direct action, either by making presen tation ot tile subject to the selectmen, or by calling a town meeting. A peti tion of ten citizens is sufficient to call a town meeting and that would settle the question. Then- in something doing in the .Maine shipyards. Last week the six master Mertio B. Crowley at Rockland and the barge Cadosia. at Rath were launched. There are now under construction at Bath throe four-masters and a barge, at Rockland a five and a four master. There are probably other craft on the stocks besides those mentioned. The three master Wawenock has just taktji her flip at Rockland, and at Mystic, Ct., the five master KIvira Balt, in which Maine parties are interested, was launched a week ago. The Journal has received from Mrs. J. I. Bailey of Pomona, Cal., formerly of Augusta, a copy of the Pomona Daily Review which gives an account if the death of Cot. George F. Robinson who is spoken of as the most distin guished citizen of Pomona and vicinity. Col. Robinson was a native of Maine and served through the Civil War in a Main2 regiment. The act which made him a national figure was his heroism in saving the life of Secretary Seward whose assassination was attempted on the same night that Lincoln was shot in Ford's theatre. Mr. Seward was sick at the time at his Washington house and Corporal Robinson was de tailed as a nurse to attend him. In defending Ms. Seward from the would be assassin who rushed into the house with knife and revolver drawn. Cor poral Robinson was terribly cut and wounded, but he saved the life of the secretary of State. While he was still in the hospital ns a result of his in juries Congress voted him SJ.omi nnd a gold medal in rceognizition of his 11 bravery. After the war he returned jin Maine and lived for several years I at Kumford Fall?. In 1*79 he was ap 1 pointed a paymaster in the regular anry and served with honor in tills capacity until ls% when he retired 'and became a resident of Pomona. His age was 7.7 years. Two sons survive him, both reside, ids of California. MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT. The Season’s CSosc. (Bangor News.) There is i liugtiing impression here in eastern Maine that the summer of ISM has net bestowed so much beat as it sim".M upon the good residents, or upon tliv good visitors. 'I'm* ordinary sen.siblo and ubsemng human being who is about in the wo: id knows very nearly what the s ason’s temperature lias been without r« insulting thermometers or asking lor records. No matter limy the fact is i cached the fart remains that tin summer of 1UU7 has bten a cold one, and many more*.•bright and warm days an needed to i-ven up conditions and biing up l!M>r to the standaio. While tins fact means .T114.I1 In ripening Inaus and in giving profitable crops of green corn, it signifies nothing much to human beings, who from .thCir craft and wisdom are able* to control'natural forces far better than h is possible for any ani mal to do. August lias almost gone to its limit, and with departure of August the .summer jesorters and the vacationists and the novelty-re«*kers, and the health seekers are crov.•ling'Rhe ears and boats in their haste to get home. No matter what happens after this, the tide of emi gration hack to the cities cannot bo checked. The cream of fatness has bt*on taken off, and whatever remains is no more than skint milk. It has not been sue! a season as Maine or as tie* visitors ‘conhi have desired. But all regrets are vain The glad show Is over. There is nothing *0 do but get hack to business again, and hope for better fortune next year* The Sharflb of Rev. Long. (Bangor News.) Tt would have, been better for Rev. Mr. Long, teller of false tales regarding Nature, if he had paid no heed to charges which President Roosevelt preferred against hint in the June number of Kverv horiy’s Magazine. If he hao bowed to the storm of wrath whic li the President's just rebuke bad provoked and remained silent, he might have been spared many unpleasant hours. But bis frantic re joinders to statements that were true, and his idb* attempts to el-vat'* bis readable fiction into the realm of fact, have plunged him and bis entire school int a bog of mendnepv. from which there is no hope of escape. _ _ VOICES OF THE PRESS.

Tn tho language of tie* grammar they rnav lv» described as positively foolish, conipnr-! ativelv foolisher. superlatively f.»olist- Should Beware of Mcbocracy. (Philadelphia Inquirer.) “What is public hysteria?’ asks an exchange. It is monocracy, the spirit which makes n body of people do that ir. haste which they afterward repent, of at leisure. A young lady organist in a certain city was anxious to make a good impression on a visiting clergyman one Sunuay. Her organ was pumped by a self-willed old sexton, who had his own ideas as to how long an organ voluntary should Iasi, and so “shut oft the wind” when ho thought fit. On this particular Sunday the organist thought she would forestall any such accident by writing an appeal in the early part of ttie service and giving it to the sexton. The old man received the note, and supposed it was for tlio minister. In spite of her frantic heukon ings he went straight to the pulpit with the note, and the astonished preacher read this message: “Oblige me this j morning by blowing away till I give you the signal lo stop.”—'Tid-Bits. It was a protracted meeting and an excited follow was telling how “lit had married a daughter of the Lord. Sit down,” said lilt, who was in tlu audi ence, “Sit down—it will he a long time before change.” The unconscious humor of the Knylish peasantry is shown in a story told by the London Tiibune. A lady bountiful was eading on a devoted old couple with such creature comforts as the doctor told her were suitable for the old man. who was living and tenderly nursed by his consort. F.ntering the cottage, she saw the old dame leaning over the (ire. "Ah, Susan.” she said, ‘‘.and how’s Jonn?” “Me ho goan. mum. lie he goan.” mut tered the old lady. Leastways. I can’t sav that for sartin sure. But he did seem a-gwine just now. But, there, it’.* that mortal cold up there that I had to pona down to warm my hands.”—Nev." York Tiibune.

Squirrel Island, Me., Aug. 30.—(Spe cial).—The season hangs on well at Squirrel and although there are many departures each day there are also new arrivals and the season will not finally close until the end of next month. The Booth bay Harbor-Squirrel Island baseball series ended Monday afternoon and Boothbay was victorious in the final game, winning by the score of 4 to o. Squirrel was not up to usual form and Boothbay took the game into hand from the start. Of the total number of games played Boothbay Harbor won fJ and Squirrel a, but Boothbay won two exhibition games which gives the cham pionship series to Squirrel 5 to 4. Ah the games were close and neither side in any game had a walkover. Ilotu teams played clean ball which more than satisfied the large audiences. It is the hope that all the old players will return and that a series will be ar ranged for another year.

Stephenson vs. Portland Railroad Com pany. Rescript, Strout, J. Action to recover for personal in juries. Verdict for plaintiff for $3641.68. The case is here upon a special motion by defendant to set aside the verdict on tile ground of alleged misconduct of plaintiff's counsel in his argument to the jury, and upon the general motion as against evidence and for excessive damages. Upon the special motion. In argu ment to the jury plaintiff's counsel said; “Three of the witnesses are rail road men in the employ of this said company. I believe one of them lias been discharged a few times and hired over.” Defendant's counsel objected to this statement as to discharge and hir ing over, as introducing facts not in evidence. Unsupported by evidence, the statement ought not to have been made. Was it injurious to the defend ant'.’ If so, it would be cause for set ting aside the verdict. The witness might have been discharged for lack of work. Hiring him over indicated con fidence in the man by the defendant. No fault was imputed to him. Rut for another reason we think the statement was harmless. While the defendant did not admit liability, it was not denied that plaintiff received some injury, and non-liability was not strenuously in sisted upon, and we do not see how it could lie. The real issue was the extent of that injury. The witnesses alluded to by counsel for plaintiff testified as to ttie fact of collision and the attend ant circumstances, but gave no mate rial testimony upon the magnitude of plaintiff's hurt; and upon that ques tion. the real one in issue, these wit nesses were unimportant. No harm to defendant, therefore, could come from the remark. In defendant's argument to the jury counsel had made a point that the plaintiff's presence in court during the trial of three days was inconsistent with her claim as to great and perma nent injury. In reply to this, counsel for plaintiff stated that he took the responsibility for that, “after having asked the doctor, inquired of him whether it would be safe.” It may ad mit of doubt whether under the cir cumstances this remark was not justi fiable. However that may be. plain tiff's presence in court was known to the jury, and defendant had the full benefit of bis argument upon that fact. The remark was not prejudicial to the oefendant upon the question at issue. If it had any effect, it tended to strengthen defendant's argument. Ee ing brought there by her own counsel was more significant than if her ap pearance had boon entirely voluntary. 1'pon the ge neral motion. The plain tiff received some injury for which de fendant was clearly liable. IIow great was that injury? After carefully ex amining tiio evidence and considering the temperament of tiic plaintiff, her previous condition of health and her condition after the accident, we do not think all Iter troubles were caused by the collision. It would be unprofitable to review the evidence of the physi cians in connection with that of the plaintiff, but the result of an exami nation is that the damages awarded by the jury are excessive. The special motion is overruled. If plaintiff within thirty days after filing tiie rescript in this ease shall re mit ail of the damages in excess of two thousand dollars the entry will be: Mo tion overruled. Otherwise, motion sus tained for excessive damages and ver dict set aside. go order* d. Received August 29th, 1907. Waldo county. Grace A. Smith vs. Henry Ungers. Rescript. (No opinion.) St rout, J. The case is replevin for certain household articles. The ownership of the goods was tiie only issue between the parlies. The case is here on motion of the plaintiff to sot aside the verdict as against the evidence. Till' ruse has been twice tried before a jury, and at cacti trial a verdict was rendered against the plaintiff, ar.d the property in the goods found to lie in the defendant. A careful reading of the testimony suggests a doubt as to the correctness of this finding, but it was purely a question of fact for the determination of the jury. The evidence was conflicting and the amount of cre dence to be given the testimony of wit nesses was peculiarly within the prov ince of the jury who saw and hoard them. We cannot say that the verdict is so clearly wrong as to require us to disturb it. Motion overruled. Received August 29th, 1907.

Wheeling, W. Va„ Aug. 30.—A city exclusively for negroes Is to be built in West Virginia if the plans of the pro jectors do not miscarry. Partially in tended as a solution of the race prob lem. the promoters of the black city beiieve I heir project will meet with in stant favor among the ooh red people of West Virginia, and they expect within a year's time to have a city of several thousand persons, without a white person among its population. Eight miles from Charleston, the State capital, is the West Virginia Col ored Institute, an institution lor the higher education of he colored people, maintained by the state. Former State Tax Commissioner C. W. Dillon, of Fayette county, has purchased some 500 acres immediately adjoining the Colored Institute property. He is buy ing it eut up into city property, grad ing streets, laying cement sidewalks, putting in electric lights and sewerage, and is constructing a large city park. He aill refuse to sell a lot in his town to any but a colored person, and with the distinct understanding that no white mail is to lie allowed to live in the city. It is believed the negroes will take to the idea, as the place is close enough to Charleston to enable them to retain their positions In Charleston and live in the negro com munity. The city will give a splendid object lesson in the capacity of the negro to govern his own race, for a full city government will have to be provided. GREAT PIER AT JAMESTOWN.

Tile ceremonies incident, to tit dedication will take place at night, In ginning at about x o'clock, and will include an elaborate pyrotechnic display. One of the features of the dedication w ill be a roprodtiotion in *'.ratal Rosin of the battle between the Merritnae and the Monitor, both ships being **it lined in fire. Another interesting deviee will be Fulton's old side wheeler, the “Clermont.” Perhaps the most striking effect will be that known as the "Spirit of the Falls.” This will he represented by a draped figure of heroic size, standing over the brink of an enormous water fall. with arms outstretched. As the fall gathers force, a heavy spray rises, in the whiteness of which the figure gradually disappears. The Government Pier at the exposi tion is composed of two wings over 2.000 feet in length, extending out into the waters of Hampton Roads, im mediately in front of the Auditorium. These wings\or arms, are connected at their outer end by a steel arch—the arch and the two arms inclosing over a million square feet of water surface, which has a depth of from ten to fifteen feet. Over a mile of sea wall is utilized in the sides of the piers. The total cost was some $4**0,000. Thirteen thou sand piles were driven into ihe harbor bottom, some 300.000 square yards of earth filled in around the inner walls, while over 400,00*1 square yards of earth were removed from the bottom of the basin. There are to be no ceremonies when Paul \V. Bartlett's equestrian statue of Lafayette is placed on its pedestal in Paris next October. NAN PATTERSON AGAIN.
