Exciting Times at South Gardiner on Friday BtMeen Employes of the Ice and Lumber Companies. IHtmpt to Blook Up Slip Over Which Logs Reach Lumber Mill. Poulh Gardiner. Me.. April 16 (Spe clall_There was almost a riot in tlm usually quiet little village of South Gardiner this morning, caused by the attempt of employes of the American Ice Co. to block up the slip over which the South Gardiner Lumber Co. car ries its logs to the mill. The trouble began about 10.30 this forenoon anil continued until f. o’clock tliis afternoon and at. nightfall the opposing crews had suspended operations, but both properties were being guarded await ing what rriigliit develop tomorrow. As f;1 si a® any obstacles were thrown in to the water by the American Ice Co. crew for the purpose of blocking up the slip just so fast the crew of the South Gardiner Lumber Co. would throw them out and in llie meantime another crew of the South Gardiner Lumber Co. was urged forward in the work of placing a boom anti tilling it v.ith logs iii front of the slip so as to prevent the lee Co. crew from tilling up the channel. The property of the American lee Co. at South Gardiner is located just north of that of the South Gardiner Lumber Go. When the mill at Smith Gardiner was huilt by the Hradstreet Lumber Co. .‘he slip was extended up the liver and in front of the property of the American ice Co., then owned by the Great Fulls Ice Co. It seems that an agreement was made between these two companies so that in summer when til" mill was operated logs could he boomed and run down in front of ■the ice houses into tin* mill and in the winter in exchange fm this courtesy tile Ice Co. could cut the ice in front of the steam mill. About a year ago the American Ice Go’s, houses at this place burned and the property has been unused and un occupied ever since. While the South Gardiner Lumber Co. has operated its miM it has paid a rental of $1 a day during the summer for the privilege of floating the logs by the Ice Co's, prop erty to their slip, it is alleged I hat the Ice Co. has been very desirous this year of selling this property to the South Gardiner Lumber Co. and those connected with the Lumber Co. have been inclined to think that this desire was fostered because the South Gardi ner Lumber Co. saw the danger In the near future of being unable to operate their mill with the high price of logs and the difficulty of obtaining them at lhis point. However that may be, the South Gardiner Lumber Co. apparently did not wish to put out several thousand dollars in buying land which was like ly to be practically useless to them with the present outlook of the lum bering business for Jtlie mill. So they offered to rent or lease the privilege of boating their logs by the Ice Co. prop erty. This the Ice Co. management was unwilling to do and so matters came to a crisis. This morning a crew was ordered to throw the rocks from one of the. piers of the American Ice Co. in front of the Lumber Co's. slip. Daniel Longfellow, treasurer of the South Gardiner Lum ber Co., protested against this work, because of the impossibility of getting the logs into the mill over* this obsta cle. When protests were useless, Mr. Longfellow ordered his crew from the tuiil to prevent the workmen from tlie American Ice Co. from carrying out their plans. The temper of the men was such that had they not been cau (Contlnued on Page Eight.) r ■s Mr. Barnard’s Talk Number 3 Don't fall to reait this talk today. It contains matter of Interest to you.

Two-masted Sch. Lizzie ol Belfast Lost —Gapt. G, E. Rhodes, Northport, Loses Life—Mate Robt. Maker, Lynn, Mass., Finally Rescued. Rockland, Me., April 16.—Captain Charles E. Rhodes of North port was drowned and his mate, Robert Maker of I.ynn, Mass., had a narrow escape from death this afternoon by the cap sizing of the two-masted schooner Lizzie of Belfast. The two men were tl'.e only persons on board the boat. The Lizzie was bound from Saturday Cove to Rockland with a cargo of kiln wood and when about three miles from Rockland breakwater, a sound struck the vessel and she went on her beam ends. Cn.pt. Rhodes and Maker, who were in the after part of the boat, managed to grasp tlie mainmast and both clung there, immersed in the icy water. Capt. Rhodes, who was 7:1 years old, was tillable to stand the effects of the exposure long and although the male assisted him the aged mariner was swept off by a wave and disappeared beneath the water. For two hours longer Maker riung to the mast, lie was nearly uncon scious when a boat crew from the tug Sommers N. Smith hove in sight and rescued him. The lug had been sent to the assistance of the vessel from this harbor in response to a telephone message from Camden, where ilie cap sizing of thi- schooner had been ob served. Maker was taken to the home of his aunt, Mrs. Priscilla Richardson in Rockland, and tonight was reported to he recovering from I he effects of his experience. Captain Rhodes had been a deep sea sailor most of his life, voyaging to all parts of the world. He was the owner of the schooner Lizzie, which was a small craft of 2i> tons, built in Uitx bttry. Mass., in 1S67. Tonight the schooner was still adrift in the bay on iter beam ends, efforts to get a line to her to tow here into harbor having been unsuccessful on account of the high wind and sea. The schooner is valued at $r>00 and is uninsured. NEW DISCOVERY. Secrsi For Metalization of Living Organisms Discovered by Dr. Fuchs Delore Death—Perfected by Brother. Wonderful Process Will Turn Human Body Into Statue. Chicago, April 1C—The lnter-Occan today says: Wolfram C. Fuch, an X ruy expert of Chicago, who died a year ago with “X-ray cancer," a mar tyr to science, discovered a marvelous secret by which he was able to work certain chemical changes in living or ganisms that transform them into metal. For two years before his death, iie conducted a series of experiments, which reached their climax in the met alWatlcn of a rose. Reinluird I). Fuch, his brother, took up the work where he left oft and brought the secret process to practical perfection. Mr. Fuchs is planning to metalize a human body which he proposes to put on exhibition in a downtown shop win dow. By the secret process of metali zation, it will be changed into a statue which to ail external appearances, will be of solid gold. Tile cost of this strange conversion of a human corpse into metal, according to the inventor’s estimate, will be $">00. COURTS INVESTIGATION.

CAPITAUCHAT, Nomination of Secretary Taft Seems Sure. Political Tide Has Sel Heavily His Way of Late. Opposition is Not Ready to Quit As Yet, However. Washington, April 16.—(Special).— Is it gping to be all over by the end of April? livery passing day is adding some definite knowledge to the Presi dential nomination campaign condi tions. Men are becoming wiser politi cally every time the sun goes down. The table makers have some new fig ures to put down nearly every twenty four hours and besides there are sig nificant signs here and there which make prognostications easier. Some people think there will he noth ing hut shouting to do after two weeks have passed These are not all the adherents of Secretary of War William Howard Taft. There is a growing readiness to concede his nomination in all (lie fortified camps of Presidential candidates. The importance that at taches to a probable Presidential nom inee and to a possible prospective President is attaching to the secretary of war. The campaign is plainly enter ing upon a new era. The watchful politicians almost unconsciously indi cate by their attitude of increasing deference to the genial, good natured industrious head of the war depart ment. The throngs at ithe war department evidence iL by their more reverential bearing in the secretary’s presence. (Continued on Page Nine.) THE WEATHER. FAIR.

The 6th Mass, Favors Taft, Although Uninstructed—More New Yorkers For Hughes—McGarren’s Friends May Send a Contesting Delegation, Minneapolis, Minn., April 16.—The Minnesota Republican convention to day elected four delegates-at-large to the national convention and three al ternates, nominated 11 Presidential electors and adopted resolutions in structing tile delegation to vote for the nomination of Secretary of War Taft "until he is selected." The platform cordially indorses the policies of President. Roosevelt, re affirms allegiance to the protective tariff hut declares that the time has come for a revision of schedules. The following were chosen dele gates-at-large: Frank B. Kellogg, of St. Paul; Walter W. Heffelfinger of Minneapolis; F. B. Hawkins of Biwa bik and Frank E. Putnam of Blue Earth. The platform adopted by the Minne sota Republican convention is in part as follows: “Resolved by the Republicans of Minnesota, in state convention as sembled: We heartily commend the splendid administration of President Roosevelt and especially his efforts for the es tablishment of a sound financial situa tion at the enforcement of the laws and proper guarding of corporation, for the stability of government and for the maintainance of the highest stand of business integrity and civic duty. We re-affirm the principle of protec tion of American labor and industries but we believe the time has come when there should be a revision of the tariff schedules by a Republican Con gress. Hon. William H. Taft is the choice of a large majority of the Republicans of Minnesota and the United States for tile Republican nominee for Presi dent, he is a man of great learning and ability wide experience as a statesman and best qualified to carry on the work inaugurated by President Roosevelt. We therefore instruct our delegates in the national convention to use all honorable means to secure his nomination for President of the United States and to vote for him as such nominee until selected by the conven tion.” THE RE-ORGANIZATION Of New York State Democracy Under taken By New Chairman.

WILL RETALIATE. New Brunswick Does Not Like the lisle Bill. The Ashburton Treaty May Be More Strictly Interpreted If Hal* Measure Passes—Amer icans Would Suffer Most. St. John, N. B., April 16—The opln ion in New Brunswick lumber circles regarding- the bill Introduced In the United States Senate by Senator Eu gene Hale of Maine, calling for a re peal of the so-called Pike law, is that should the bill pass Its effectstwould be detrimental to American interests now operating in Canada and the owners oi stumpage in Maine would suffer considerably through a depreciation in: the value of their land. The Pike law, which will be void should the bill pass, permits the free entry into the United States of lumber manufactured from logs which have been cut in the United States and manufactured in Canada a:t plants owned by American citizens. Should the friends of the bill effect a passage of the measure it would mean that all the raw material for use In ttie mills of Canada would be ob tained within the limits of the domin ion and that the entire output of spruce deals would have to be market ed in Great Britain in order to have any appreciable margin of profit. The industry in St. John and New Bruns wick generally, would be hard hit by the withdrawal of the privileges al lowed in the Pike law, as much of the lumber business of the province is car ried on and made profitable by taking advantage of the provisions of the act. But few of the mill owners would care to have their output restricted to the English markets alone, and it is believed that many of them would withdraw their plants from the trade. If the bill receives the sanction nec essary to its becoming a law, the New Brunswick lumber interests, it Is be lieved, will take measures to retaliate fcpon the Americans. A stricter Inter pretation of the Ashburton treaty, re garding the obstruction of navigation on international rivers, will be made, which, it is said, will affect the Amer ican companies’ alleged infringements of the act. 60TH CONGRESS. Fight on Naval Bill Con tinues In the House. Said That Asst. Sec. ot State Will Succeed Sec. Taft. Gomper$ Says Organized Labor Forced Littlefield’s Resignation. Washington, April 1 ♦>.—The long-ex isting controversy as to wheth er the United States navy should have submarine torpedo boats of the Holland type as recommended by the committee on naval affairs was settled in the House of Representatives today when, after a lengthy and lively debate the provi sion limiting the secretary of the navy to purchase only boats of the Holland type was stricken out. The effect of this action was to give the secretary a free hand in the selection of subma rine boats. The members haggled over almost every line of the three pages of the bill remaining to be disposed of when the House met, but the principal ac tion was that regarding the subma rines. A humorous speech by Mr. Wil liams, in which he had several friend ly clashes with Mr. Hobson of Ala bama over warships and balloons, commanded the attention of the House for a time. After agreeing to take up the diplomatic and consular appropri ation bill next, the House, at 5.52 re cessed until 11.30 tomorrow. Washington, April 16.—When consid eration of the naval appropriation bill was resumed In the House today Mr. Madden, Ills., made a point of order against the provisions relating to the method of contracting for the 10 tor pedo boat destroyers. The Chair sus tained the point, and the words went out ot the bill. A proposed amendment by Mr. Hughes of New Jersey, making the 8 hour law apnlicable to laborers or me chanics doing any part of the work of new construction authorized by the bill, except In cases of national emer gency, was lost on a point of order by Mr. Foss. Mr. Williams appealed but the Chair was sustained 115 to 92. A number of members were on their feet seeking recognition when the sec tion relating to the eight submarine torpedo boats were reached. Mr. Hill, Conn., however, got the chairman’s eye and at once made a point of order against the provision restricting the secretary of the navy to the selection of “a'.i such boats heretofore deter mined to be superior as the result of competitive tents.” Mr. Hill vehement ly declared that the proviso was a change of existing law. If he could have his way, he said, he would strike (Continued on Page Twelve.) GOES TOJLORfDA. Gol. Stewart to Be Trans ferred From Arizona. f Former Commandant of Port land District Is Banished Because He Is Considered Temper amentarlly Impossible. Washington, April 1G.—The friends of Col. William F. Stewart of the coast artillery triumphed today to the extent of obtaining un order directing him to take up liis residence at the abandoned San Francis barracks, St. Augustine, Fla., for the three years or more lie expects to serve on the active list, in stead of spending this time at desolate Fort Grant, Ariz., where he was prac titwily exiled last September. At liis new post Col. Stewart will have no one to “command,” but his surround ings will he decidedly more comfort able than the Arizona fort. The case of this officer si regarded as one of the most peculiar in the an nals of thr war department. The corre spondence which is available show* that an official communication from the war department was addressed to him at his post. Fort Barancas, Fla., last September, which reads: "Pursuant to instructions from the President, the department is prepared to issue an order assigning you to sta tion, probably Fort (Jrant, Ariz., with out command. The President has di rected however, that before this order is issued, an opportunity be given you to apply lor immediate retirement.” Col. Stewart's reply was: "If ap pointed brigadier general, will retire: if not, will remain on duty.” His re (Contlnued on Page Two). PRIVATE REASONS. Generals Fock, Smirnoff and Reiss Retired.

That the disabled steamer Breiz Huel hus been carried far out of the track of ocean liners and that it may be days before she is heard from is the impression now prevailing In shipping circles at Halifax. Since Monday, when the steamer was sighted oft Sable is« land nothing has been heard of her, though numerous steamers have pass ed within a radius of 20 miles of tho island. Some shipping men hold the story that she might have drifted south toward Bermuda. The Furtess Line steamer Florence sailed today in search of the disabled vessel and the Canadian cruiser Canada, now at sea on the east coast, has been instructed by wireless from the marine depart ment to join In the search for the Brelz Huel.

Gardiner Joins Bath In Protest Against Proposed Change. The residents of Gardiner were very pleased yesterday morning at seeing the Ransom B. Fuller come into the wharf for it really seemed that spring had come 111 spite of the inclement weather. Tjje boot looked as trim and clean as a new coat, of paint and a thorough overhauling cotild make her. In spite of the dirty weather of Wednesday night the boat ar rived a little earlier than schedule tirqg, tying lip ht the wharf at S.10. This was accounted for by .the- fact that there was but little #delay at Bath as there was only a small amount of freight to handle there. The boat is in command of Capt. Charles Blair, an old favorite with Gardi ner patrons of the boat. The roster of his prew is as follows: FTrst pilot—George Colby. Sfecond pilot—James Hathorn. Quartermaster—Daniel McDonald.

When the Fuller sailed from here yes terday afternoon she took a big freight, including a large quantity of hay and ap ples. There was a good sized passenger list, including about 75 veterans from To gas, who were going away on furloughs. The Gardiner patrons of the Eastern Steamship Co. are looking with small fa vor upon the proposition of having the boat touch at Bootlibay Harbor before coming to Bath on her morning trips. They feel that it would mean that the boat would not arrive at Gardiner until 10 o'clock in the forenoon or later. A peti tion is to be. circulated here protesting against the change and it is likely to find a good many signatures. SUPPER AND EASTERSALE. Randolph Ladies Proved Themselves Delightful Entertainers.

Como Togothor In New York Bey—No Live* Lost. New York, April 16.—1Two ocean lin ers, the Monterey of the Ward Line, bound for Havana, and the Danish steamer United States, of the Scanda navian-American Line, bound for Co penhagen, collided in the main ship channel in lower New York bay today. Both were damaged, but no lives were lost, and no one as far as reported was Injured. The Monterey had her stem damaged and several of her how plates were loosened, but she was able to re turn to her dock, where her passen gers disembarked. It is probable the Monterey will have to go into dry dock for repairs. The United States was more serious ly damaged. A large hole was stove in her hull starboard side abaft the en gines and ;;o threatening was its na ture that it was deemed wise to run the vessel aground on a mud bank on the channel's edge. There the steamer is resting easily. The weather is clear and cairn. Several wrecking tugs arc standing by. Temporary repairs will be made and then the vessel will be pttllt d oil into deep water so that she can return to the city for permanent repairs. There are 439 steerage pas sengers aboard the United States. They will remain aboard over night. There v. ers 4S passengers on the Mon ti rev. No great excitement occurred on either vessel, according to eye wit nesses of the collision. i. Stories as to the cause of the colli sion and the responsibility therefor differ. The United States, according to the. stories told, steamed down the bay In the wake' of the Monterey, but af ter going by the quarantine station, passed the Monterey and it was just after this that the bumping occurred. According to some the United States had to check her speed suddenly to escape running down a schooner and before the Monterey could check her speed, tlie crash occurred. Others were inclined to blame the officers of the United States for their maneuver in passing the Monterey in the confined limits of the ship channel and say the collision should be laid to this. An in vestigation probably will have to be awaited to place the responsibility. Late tonight a wrecking 'tug came up to the city from the scene of the col lision and reported that the engine room of the United States was filling with water, indicating that the steam er had been damaged below the water line. Among the passengers aboard the United. States is Capt. Roald Amund sen, the explorer, who discovered the Northwest Passage. He was bound for his home in Christiana, after an ab sence of three years. 0 RUSSIANS INVADE PERSIA. Troops Cross Frontier to Punish Band of Kurdish Brigands. Tifiis, Trans-Caucasia, April 16.—The Russian troops have invaded Persian territory in the vicinity of Lenkoran, a port on the Caspian sea for the pur pose of punishing Kurdish raiders. This step was taken in consequence of the renewal of the attack upon the Russian garrison at Belesuvar, a fron tier post. The trouble began April 12, when a detachment of Russian troops from Belesuvar met a band of Kurdish brigands and lost several men Jn the subsequeht fighting. The br.igaji$s f\l£o suffered. They prepared to attack Belesuvar in force in revenge for their treatment by the Russian sol diers and they descended on the garri son in large numbers. Orders 'were issued for the garrison, which is supported by the artillery to enter Persian territory and punish the Kurds. The Russians in force then crossed the frontier and destroyed sev eral villages. They also scattered the Kurds who numbered in all about 4000. According to the latest reports re ceived the Russians are still continu ing their advance. The people of Bele suvar have telegraphed to St. Peters burg appealing for immediate protec tion. Cossacks have been sent into the district to preserve order. The whole of the frontier is in a state of alarm. A HORRIBLE TALE Of a Mother Being Led to Throw Her Child Overboard. New York, April 16.—An' extraordinary tale of the burial at sea of a child who may have been alive when thrown over board was told by the officers of the steamer Statendam when that steamer arrived today from Rotterdam. The child Is said to have been thrown overboard by her own mother, Mrs. Bertha Lzybik of Poland. She was coming to this country with two children, the youngest of which, Elsa, was about four years old. On the way over the child was taken ill with convulsions during A gale- and In about an hour was apparently dead. The other passengers of the steerage objected to *the presence of the body on board and informed the mother that unless the child was thrown overboard a storm would overwhelm the steamer. About midnight the body of the child was thrown into the sea. Officers of the steamer soon discovered what had happened and the ship's sur geon, who made inquiries, Is said to have expressed the fear that the child was merely in a comatose condition and might have been revived under medical treat ment. Mrs. Lzybik was taken to Ellis Island, i The house and barn of James Peyler and a barn owned by Oscar Butler at East Meadows near Thomaston, were destroyed by fire Wednesday morning. The loss was about $2000. The prop erties were partly covered by insur ance. The odor of smoke awoke Mr Feyler, and he found his barn ablaze. The fierce gale drove the flames onto the house, which was destroyed before the firemen could arrive. With the burning of the Butler barn the fire was stopped, but several other houses caught fire. An incendiary Is thought to have caused the fire. It Is said that Austria has produced more fine skaters than any other coun try.

Butte, Mont., April 16.—Late esti mates of the loss occasioned by the bursting of the Hauser Lake dam north of Helena, based on reports Is sued by The Miner from various points in the flooded district, place the amount at about *500,1)00, though this may be exceeded by about *100,000, when a more detailed report Is had from the more remote sections. Early today the Missouri river at Great Falls was between three and four feet high, rising at the rate of an inch an hour. The slow rise of the river would indicate that the flood had practically spent its force, and the copper smelters of the amalgamated at this point are not considered in any danger. The greatest damage outside of the destruction of the dam -was done at Craig, 40 miles north of Helena, where the school house, the railroad station., two general stores, two saloons and several residences were torn up and wrecked. Losses of herds of cattle are also reported by stockmen. WRONG PARTIALLY RIGHTED. Julia Marlowe’s and Mr*. Backus’ Names Out of Divorce Case. Boston, April 16.—Attorney Percy A.

Von Herrmann, in which the well-known actress, Julia Marlowe, and Mrs. Maude Thorbum Backus were named as corespondents, has had the libel dismissed on motion to Judge Rich ardson in the superior court. The names of Miss Marlowe and Mrs. Backus are eliminated from the case. In justification of his action, Lawyer Bridgham said today: "I have known Mrs. Von Herrmann for a great many years, as well as other members of the family, and for that reason was induced to prosecute the libel in her behalf. That Mrs. Von Herrmann was sincerely honest in her allegations as contained in the libel against Miss Marlowe and Mrs. Back us, I am convinced, but after a closer investigation and a more careful sift ing of the evidence "I feel convinced that tj|e source of Mrs. Von Herr mann’s Information is wholly unre liable and for that reason I doubt that I could present a case strong enough to obtain a decree; this does not alter my belief that Mrs. Von Herrmann should be granted relief by the court, or in other words a divorce from her husband on other grounds, which in na w-ay Involves Miss Marlowe or Mrs. Backus and of which grounds I was la Ignorance when I took the case.” With the Issuing of this statement by Mr. Bridgeham, he showed the re porter the paper which he 'had pared to carry into effect his In the matter. “fUrt V ;,-i- w#'# i r‘f.

After our first surprise at seeing the modern Rome that surrounded us in all directions, we enjoyed wandering through her streets. One morning the husband of our boarding mistress of fered to escort us down to the business section. As far as we could find out, his daily task was to entertain the dif ferent boarders that came to his pen sion. The only disadvantage to us in this scheme, was the fact that he stut tered, so that by the time he had fin ished telling us about a building we were way past it and craning our necks to lock after it, thereby having several collisions with other pedes trians. It was Wednesday that day, the great day for that market-place where enticing antiquities were advantage ously displayed. The customers we no ticed were chiefly Americans, and we were told that the prices were also American, and that in all probability those ‘Tare antiques” had been manufactured during the previous week in a factory built for just such purposes, so without any regrets we passed them by. To wander through those streets with their soft, musical Italian names, to loiter in the shady gardens of the post office, whose building was once a grand old palace, to pa.use near the steps close by the Pincio where the Italian girls are selling their flowers, and then to stroll up to the Pincio was a treat indeed. The Pincio is a beautiful park high up, and it sprang into existence about two hundred years ago. This pleasure ground was well eliosen for on one side down below lies the Borghese park with its magnificent palace, and on the other side all Rome is before us, and way off in. the distance alone, on one of the seven hills of Rome towers the pedestrian statue of the hero Garibaldi. So life-like is the statue that he seems to be riding toward that city for which he fought so well. The Pincio is Rome’s pleasure ground. In the morning in ail the walks and promenades, students who .•fre studying for the priesthood are seen. They form a striking picture as they pace thoughtfully back and forth with their flowing gowns and different colored sashes, while some are seated on benches studying busily, forgetful of all around them, even St. Peters, which looms proudly up, making the surrounding buildings appear as mere ant hills. This was the Rome that I had imagined, this Rome that I saw from the Pincio. There it was pleas ant to sit and dream of the old Rome and meditate on what the life must have been' in the golden age. But come up to this same Pincio on a Thursday afternoon and all this scene is changed. Representatives of the different religious orders may still be seen threading their way in and out among the more retired paths and listening to the music from a distance, for on Thursday afternoons there are band concerts, and all the elite of Rome come to the Pincio and prome nade or drive. The old nobility whose families have gradually decayed so that the splendid turnouts of former'days may no longer be indulged in, drive about with eight perhaps, where ir former times only four sat in stately dignity. Many a carriage we saw drive by, so over-drowded that it seemed as if one or two of the occu pants 'of the carriage must fall out. In other plates children of all ages were romping about, while the nurse girls and governesses kept near them. Lads two by two walked decorously past with their tutor on guard. Far ther oil we saw some weak looking Hying horses and swings, and donkeys drawing little carriages plodded by. The chief attraction of a Thursday afternoon however is the baud concert. Promptly at five all gather near it and listen. The day that we listened to it. the first piece that they played was one of Sousa’s inarches. It seemed to be Sousa who was the favorite wherc ever we went on the continent. There was an interesting game of tag going on between the business like little man who had charge of a circle of seats which he let for a penny and the audience. I am sure none of the people would have begrudged hint a penny but they merely wished to see if it were possible to avoid paying it. When he was on one side, some of the most innocent appearing persons would sit down on the other side, and as he drew nearer so that at last he was in close proximity to them, they would get up with the most careless air in the world, and saunter to the other side. That little amusing game lasted as long as the band concert. The concert ended, the Pincio became as quiet as on a morning. One afternoon we strolled in another entirely different direction. Passing the Forum and Palatine Hill which is one mass of ruins we came to the Baths of Caracalla. They cover a mile and although they are fairly well preserved they looked so cold and bare that we did not care to explore them. Besides we had another object in view. Continuing our way, we soon passed through the Porta S. Sebastian. That arcli which formed the gateway with a massive tower on either side is part of the original old Roman wall. Once outside this gate, we were on the his toric Appian Way. As we walked along groups of beggar children sprang up from everywhere, and went along jn front of us turning somersaults, and walking on their hands. Then at In tervals we came upon old men with baskets of oranges selling large lus cious ones at the rate of four for one cent. Tranquilly we went on, and while tho carriages whizzed by us, we stopped to admire tho lesser objects of interest, for all the tourists both those ii carriages, and those on foot had for ilieir goal the Catacombs of St. Calixtus. It was not long before we :ame to a small church called "Dom ino, quo vadis?” There in this church they told us that it was on this spot that St. Peter met Christ going towards the city and St. Peter asked. ‘Master whither goert thou7" to which Christ replied. “I am going to be crucified a second time." whereupon St. Peter turned around and followed him. So this church stands there to day to commemorate that event. Still we continued on our way. passed by Innumerable carriages and saluted by beggars, until we came to the Catacombs. There was nothing in the appearance of the place that suggested the existence of those burial vaults. Nothing but fields of waving grain and a small house, into which we went and bought our ticket which was a little wax taper. Others were waiting, so with a Dutch priest as guide, we went down a long ilight of stairs after having first lighted our tapers. Those Catacombs cover an area of twelve miles and there are three stories with such winding pas sageways that the guide said we would have to remain two days to ex plore them all. It was in the second story that we wandered. First we came to the chapel of the popes, then visited the chapel of St. Cecelia. In other chapels we saw inscriptions in all languages which were substitutes for grave stones. Our guide explained to us the em blems we saw and the Byzantine drawings and paintings which we came upon, then pointing to the names that, some tourists had traced he said, “And those are the inscriptions of the modern barbarians.” Other things we were shown that were more ghastly such as some bones, and skulls with the hair still on them, so that it was a relief to breathe once more the fresh pure air, and our walk back to the city was as enjoyable as the one out had been. We were very much dependent upon our feet in those days, for there was at that time a strike on the electric road, so that it was not safe to ride in a tram-car, as the windows were hoarded up .and the car guarded by soldiers. It was a harvest time for the cabmen whose prices were fabu lous, and the tourist whose stay in Rome was limited, was obliged to pay the prices demanded or else go with out seeing the noted landmarks. As for us. we stayfed as long as we pleased in a place, and so were not dependent upon anyone or anything, and we gained our most valuable in formation from our leisurely walks through the Eternal City.

When It is the morning after the night before, you do not have to look at your tongue to know that the stomach is upset, the head is aching ■"'ith a dull rhythm, and that all the World looks black and dreary. It may have been lobster Newburgh, Welsh rarebit or some other tasty dish that looked much better at night than the morning after. There is no need to look at the tongue thermometer then for symptoms of trouble. You ttaturaliy go to your box of Mi-o-na stomach tablets, and with one of the "ttle relievers bring joy and gladness to the physical system. The real time to watch the tongue is a'I the time, if it is coated with a "hile fur, or possibly with dark trimmings’, even though the stomach •toes not tell you by the acute pains into a bad way and that there is need of Mi-o-na. Tsed at the first symptom of a ooated tongue, distress after eating, headaches, dull and lifeless feeling, flatulence, or any other of the early •'Mnptoms of indigestion, Mi-o-na will strengthen the stomach muscles so that they will take care of all the food that is eaten without the slightest Pain or discomfort. It will increase the flow of gastric juice so that the fond digests as Nature intended it should, extracting the nourishment and strength and expelling the waste from the system without further aid. Mi-o-na is so positive, so sure, so •Pliable in its curative action upon the stomach that Bowditch, Webster Co., the local agents, give an absolute guarantee with every 50-cent box they sell to refund the money unless tbe remedy gives absolute and com plete satisfaction Sold and guaranteed in Waterville by Geo. w.

It was learned at the office of the adjutant general yesterday that a por tion of the equipments which go with the new rifles which have just been received by the National Guard of the State of Maine, have arrived in the city, and will be sent out to the differ ent companies of the two regiments in due time. These equipments comprise the gun slings, cartridge belts and suspenders, bayonets and scabbards, canteen straps, and a number of other articles, all of which are essential in the fitting out of the Guardsmen. The men of the Guard are much interested in the new rif'e and are looking for ward to the time when they can get out cn the range arid try it. Contractor Poland, who took up the work last fall of drilling a well on the State muster Sold, for the purpose of supplying the troops of the National Guard with water during the annual encampment, is still driving the tube down into the ground, and lias now reached a depth of about 290 teet Some water fins been reached but a larger supply is needed and Mr. Po land is confident that it will be forth coming. I Although the State rifle range out on the Whitten road can be used for the purpose for which it was intended, there is some little work to be done in the way of minor repairs, which will it is understood he looked after within a short time. Hon. S. W. Carr, insurance commis sioner for the State, who was among the first of the Augusta fishermen to visit Seliago lake this spring, succeed ed in landing two salmon.

On Monday next The Boylston Stock Company will begin a three days’ en gagement at the Opera House with a special Monday matinee when they will present, the modern dramatic success, “The Detective's Oath." The play depicts the incidents in the life of a young girl, striving in a large city, and beset by the many tempta tions of a big city.

Monday evening the latest comedy drama sensation, “Love and Money,” will be the offering. This is one of the latest plays now before the public, and will be offered here that evening for the first time at popular prices. Mon day evening a limited number of ladies’ tickets, will be offered. Dur ing the company's engagement the company will present, “Hollow Gold,” “The Girl of Eagle Ranch,” and several others.

He is a Belichimer, four years old: dark iron gray with black "points; tall and stylish, with a fine head and ear, although only par tially broken, is very pleasant, tract able and fearless. Good judges say he has a gait which promises speed. FARM NOTES. Charles A. York, one of Bangor’s en terprising milkmen, has recently pur chased of Elmer F. Pember a thorough bred Ayershire bull, to head his herd. This bull is “Capt. Jinks,” 10822, born February 19th, 1907. His sire was “Gold Fox" 8400. the famous pri/.e winning bull from “Highland Farm.” The dam was Esther Hyacinth 1480’. one of the best cows in the State. Mr. York has secured a bull that has back of him, cowts, with a milk record to be proud of. “Lady Fox” 12299 pounds cf milk, 024 pounds of butter in one vear. "Biona” 100024 pounds of milk, 526 pounds of butter and several others, nearly as good. CAPITAL CHAT, (Continued from Page One.) The throngs elsewhere in Washington, where the secretary permeates, evi dence it. The workers begin to talk about “Bill Taft,” which, if he is nom inated, will be his campaign name with the masses. The Democrats are begin ning to level their guns at him, which is not without significance. Mr. Bryan has begun paying his respects to him, the while he ignores the other Repub lican aspirants. The other day it is worth noting, Mr. Taft went to Chica go, where the convention is to be held, and fraternized with the citizens for a season. Book out for howling, reiterating, insistent Taft galleries at the convention. For the secretary is popular In i lie Windy City and more popular there since his recent visit. Then he pushed on into Nebraska, where the probable Democratic nominee resides and very prob ably lie did not take that pilgrimage without ruminating on the helpful ef fetes it might have with the people a few months later on when he could not visit the state without it being very apparent that he was on a vote getting tour. And as soon as the sec retary got out into the Western coun try lie took a long distance shot at the Peerless One and the Peerless One re turned the compliment. Frankly the Washington observers, who are generally pretty keen about such things, think it will be about all over by the end' of April. The Taft boom is unquestionably growing, grow ing daily in different sections of the country. This growth presages a very tame convention at Chicago, although a tew months ago it was generally ex pected that it would he the liveliest, .scrappiest, most interesting conven tion in I’a years. The telegraph com panies are curtailing their prepara tions lor handling hundreds of thous ands of words of newspaper copy every 21 hours that the convention last. The newspaper men are curtailing their plans for sending large forces of corre spondents, who would la- necessary to follow every detail and development, if the contest was to lie uncertain right up to the moment of the ballot ting. There will lie spectators enough anyway. Chicago will have plenty to do to care for their comfort, whether tile convention means a love feast and a cut and dried program, or a light to the finish. None the less according to reports of recent dale from the Windy City, the hotels are no longer expecting the tremendous crush that was for a time promised. From tilt* popular spectacular standpoint the Chicago convention may be quite as lacking in dramatic performances ami in the shrewa maneuvering of tactici ans, as the Denver convention has promised to be. And yet, w ith April half gone and the Chicago convention quite two months away, there are still opportunities for important convention developments. From ali appearances Secretary Taft will go into the convention, far in the lead of all his rivals in instructed dele gates. It can not be concealed, how ever, that it is almost a certainty half of the delegates, which would he at least 191, will not be instructed for him. A great many delegates friendly to him will be uninstructed and free to vote for some other candidate, couid it be shown that some other nomination would be better and safer for the party. Somebody is still doing a tremendous amount of forceful work against Secre tary Taft’s nomination. It may be a group of men, for the object is not al together clear, or it may be a group of opposition forces—organized labor, ne groes, prohibitionists, and others who do rot welcome the secretary’s eleva tion to the Presidency. Unquestion ably certain of the rival candidates are back of some of this work. It may be Knox, Fairbanks, or Cannon, all of whom are known to be hopeful still. Anyone w ho goes out into tiie states where conventions are being held of late soon becomes aware of a big press propoganda lor combatting the roseate reports which the Taft boomers began sending out early. Two months ago it seemed impossible to hold a state or a Congressional district convention with out the hand of some Taft press repre sentative being seen. No matter what the convention did, he twisted a nice Taft story out of it and away it went to hundreds of newspapers. It is axio matic that a denial never catches up a story, vvliich fact no one knows bet ter than a practical politician. For a while the Taft reporters, traveling hither and thither, with ample funds for expenses, got away with about everything. They bamboozled the country correspondents and even fooled the big press associations by their wiles. Nowadays, some of the most reliable correspondents, of long Washington training are out on the convention trail seeing to it that other reports are available. They are not in the employ of newspapers but in the employ of some persons who are interested in other candidates than Taft. Probably these writers would be quite as ready to help their own favorites along as the Taft writers have been to help their favorite. But the presence of the rivals on the ground acts as a check and the reading public is getting fewer “fake” reports about who carried con ventions. The other Candidates are likely mak ing very determined warfare in other quarters, convinced that it is by no means all over and :that the chance of beating “Bill Taft” is still big enough to be worth improving to the utmost. F. A. Tow’le, of Skowhegan, has sold and shipped to Ralph Leavitt, Haver hill, Mass., his family driving horse which he bought last fall. This is a hay mare, stands 1G hands and weighs 1125 pound.
