Pre vious to presenting liis request ttiere had been much conferring between Mr. Al drich and Messrs. Bailey, (e for tomorrow hut of forcing it ti.daj. Even after Air. Cummins’ objection had been recorded and Air. Aldrich bad ccllfd for a vote it looked as if lie would be disappointed. Senator Fra zier, who lias been a supporter of the income tax amendment and an oppo nent of the corporation tax, was ab sent from tlie chamber on account of illness. Desiring that he be present when the vote was taken, Mr. Bailey took the floor and announced his d" t rmi.iation to hold it until Mr. Fra zier could make his appearance. Mr. Frazier soon came in and thereupon tlie Texas senator yielded and Un voting began. The first vote was upon the motion to substitute the corporation tax amendment for the Lodge amendment and this prevailed by a vote of tr> to ol. The affirmative veto was cast en tirely by Republicans and even Sena tor McEnery of Louisiana, who lias PREFRS TO FLY. Wilber Wright Prefers Areoplanes to Autos.

July 2. -1 would ratti er fly over that country in our aero plane than ride over it in your automo bile.” said Wilbur Wright yesterdav to a scouting party preparing to traverse the dusty roads between Kort Myer and Alexandrio. Va along tli” course over which his brother is soon to fly. The course, over which will he made the official flight for which the Wright-; are preparing, begins at Fort Myer, across the river from Washington, in a relatively high plateau and extends somewhat east of south, five miles to the turning point on a hill westerly from Alexandria, which will be made visible from Fort Myer by a small, bright yellow balloon marking its lo cation. The country between is brok en and rather heavily wooded; but at intervals there are open fields, offering landing places in case of emergency. This will he the first flight across broken country in a heavier-than-air machine. The highest altitude yet negotiated by the Wrights in their aeroplanes is 3G4 feet—Wilbur made that height for a prize in France—at one point in the Virginia course. if lie maintains a level flight he will be fully 500 feet above ground. The specifications under which the Wrights secured the contract with the government under which they will, if successful receive $25,000 for their ma chine were generally regarded when they were made as well night prohibi tive. Yet, while the task is one in volving untried conditions, Orville Wright seems not in the least con cerned about it.

The Republi cans who voted with tie* Democrats in the negative were Messrs. Borah, Bris tow, Buikeley, (’Japp, Cummins, Doili ver and La Follette. ImmediaU ly following Mr. Lodge with drew his amendment and a vote was talon on a motion to substitute the corporation tax amendment for the income tax amendment offered jointly h.v Messrs. Bailey and Cummins. The result was an exact counterpart of the vote on (lie previous roll call. Next in order came the vote upon the corporation tax provision upon its own merits, hut before this ballot could he reached Mr. Bacon sought to obtain ac tion upon two amendments to that pro vision presented by himself, both of which Mr. Aldrich moved to lay upon the table and was successful. The first of these amendments provided for an exemption of educational, chari table and religious institutions, against which Mr. Aldrich made his first point of order. Because ho did so he fell into a sharp clash with its author. The effect of the point of order was to cut off de bate, but Mr. Aldrich chanced to drop the remark that he would “allow Mr. Ba con to proceed.” The form of expression seemed to incense the Georgian and he I retorted sharply to the effect that he was “not surprised that Mr. Aldrich should assume such a manner because he had been dictating to the Senate so long that bo was accustomed to use language of that kind.'* Then the amendment was laid on the table. 12 to 32. The Georgia senator im mediately presented another amendment, requiring the taxation of bonds, which was rejected 41 to 34. The climax was then reached and with out any preliminaries the final vote was taken. It was upon agreeing to the cor poration tax amendment as a part of the tariff bill. This amendment was adopted by the vote of fin to 11. Of the II nega tive votes eight were cast by Republicans and three by Democrats. When the final result was announced at 7 o'clock tin* Senate adjourned for the day. MAINE HORSE MAKES BEST TIME AT FREDERICTON RACES. Fred, ricton. X.

I There will be a band gpncert in thtr' evening on the riverside embankment at the foot of Central street. Varkd program of popular selections by the Boys’ Band, one of the finest organiza tions in the State. There will be another concert in pro gress at the same time by the efficient Winthrop Band, a fine well-drilled ag gregation of musicians. This band will be located on the Page street school lot. Second street. Fireworks in the evening on Chelsea heights, visible from the river front and many parts of the city. This will be a fine display of all kinds and de scriptions and there are eight especial ly beautiful set pieces. The committee has been untiling in their efforts to provide everything pos sible for the comfort and entertainment of all. An efficient police service will be maintained throughout the day and evening; the streets covering the en tire route of the procession will be thoroughly sprinkled, thus preventing all discomfort from dust, to onlookers as well as for those taking part in the parade; barrels of ice water for the convenience of the public will be lo cated af many convenient points about the city. In an Interview Chairman H. P. Clearwater said to the Journal: ‘‘Yes, our work will all be finished Saturday—all we ask for now is a fair day and we will promise to have the celebration—every feature of it, and more than promised, come off on sched ule time. No one, unless they have had expe rience in such affairs, realize the im mense amount of work and thought that It takes to plan and carry out suc cessfully a proposition of this kind. •‘The people will come In the morn ing. they see the parade and then the hose and reel runs; get their dinner; watch the river races and the athletic sports and see the firemen's contests in the afternoon and in the evening see the fireworks on the Chelsea heights— they enjoy It all, hut only a few of them stop to think that foi weeks the general committee and the several sub committees have been working almost day and night to bring together every thing, every one of the thousands of details of plans that finally executed go to make the show the big success that everyone is determined it shall be. “I have never seen a better organiza tion. I am proud of It and if the work done. Every committee and every in dividual have simply made themselves a part ef the machine. There have been m little jealousies, no friction between the committees ns Is so often the case, blit everyone hns taken off his coat and worked faithfully towards one com mon end. Of course this celebration has developed Into something very much higger than any of us had any idea of at the beginning. It only goes to show uliat can be accomplished when a con certed organized effort is made, and I predict that in the very near future this same organization, assisted by other energetic citizens, will accom plish something material for the per manent advancement and good of the city of Hallowell.” I want to say a word to the boys and girls—the younger ones I mean, for the older should think for them selves—Please be careful. Remember there will be an immense crowd h ue Monday—the streets will be filled with probably 10,000 people at least, and that is a good many. There will be more than 60 pairs of horses in the1 parade, many of them drawing expen sive tire apparatus, a frightened horse would probably mean an accident and we want nothing of the kind to mar this day of pleasure. And so the gen eral committee asks again, that all will please be careful. That during the parade no fireworks or pistols oi any kind be exploded along the line of march. There will he plenty lime enough for that before and after. Everyone connected with the cele bration has worked hard, faithfully and without pay. Through our broadcast tdvertising we have invited everybody to come and see us—and they are com ing. too. from all over the State. Now then: I*et every man. woman ind child in the city at once form hemselves into one big general com uittee t!) look after the comfort and •ntertainment of our thousands of vis tors so to send every one of them lome next Monday night, happy and :atisfied, and saying 'Bully for Hal owell. I'm glad I went.’" Celebration Notes.

WISE, 227 WATER STREET, GARDINER, MAINE very first, the object and determination of the committee having the affair in charge that everyone be comfortable enjoy themselves and go home with the wish that they may soon visit our city again. Now a Last Word. To our friends: Is it too much for Lis to ask you to remember the horses luring the parade hours? You will agree with us without question that the success of it all depends largely upon the ab;sence of undue confusion. There are many horses in the proces sion and it is probable that uite a num ber are spirited or are likely to be come nervous, if you will use your good influence to avert the explosion :>f crackers or firearms where such noises would be likely to frighten our Jumh friends, you will confer a very great favor upon all of ns.

The married men of the Methodist church reversed the tallies upon the single men Friday evening by defeat ing them in tin- second game of the se ries by tiie score of !t to X. The game ended in wdiat might lie termed a "fiz zle." The married men were ahead at tiie conclusion of Hie fifth inning, they having their last hat. Taking this fact into consideration, many of them had pressing engagements at home and as live innings constitutes a game, they thought “enough was plenty." Of ursc tiie single men put forth a vig orous protest, hut all in vain. They waited so long in arguing tiie matter that the umpire called the game on ac count of darkness and awarded the game to the married men. It was a pitcher's battle throughout, both pitchers striking out tr. men; hut on account of the inability of the catch ers on both sides to hold the last strike, many batters reached tirst base. Roclc wood was on the firing line for the married men. He said that his arm was lame. Had he been in perfect condition there is no' tolling what might have happened. His team was all hi bind him except Rev. Mr. Everhart, he being in front. Mr. Everhart had his own trou bles in the game. Many a third strike was lost; but then he was the only man to hit safely and it would be un fair to reprimand him. And it was a beauty of a hit, good for two bases. Had he not fallen down when he reach ed second it was good for a triple. Goodwin again pitched for the single I men. He also tried to umpire, but with no success. The single men found a rea* rfaache* ii# Fressnell. He like Mr. Everhart found difficulty in holding

Dunnack of Augusta de livi red an address to the Carpenters and Joiners Union, ino. 348, in their hall Friday evening. There was an at tendance of 150. Frank Stephens, pres ident of tiie union, presided. Itcv. Mr. Dunnack said in part: “The' records of labor constitute a list of honors unequalled by any other ord- r of .humanity. Three perpetual achievements of labor make tiie high advance of civilization. From the charing of the forests to tiie highly organized meehaniGal work of today, labor had steadily and persistently worked for human betterment. La bor lias not been without its faults. Sometimes these faults have been most serious; yet for tiie most parts these faults have been tiie mistakes of in-" experience and the results of unwise leadership. '•A glimpse at tiie list of achieve ments will show to anyone the reason wily the labor union lias come to be u great conservative power for good in the republic. They were among tiie first to advocate tiie abolition of im prisonment for debt, the abolition ol chi I i labor, lire escapes on factories, inspectors of factories, protection from dangerous machinery, 10-hour day, veil tolation in all workshops, scats for women whore possible, weekly payment of wages, protected wages of wives l mm attachment, industrial and even ing schools, special railroad rates foi wage workers, board of arbitration and the Australian ballot system. "The labor union lias been among the great forces that have made the int< lligent and patriotic citizenship. Everywhere they teach self control and a love for American principles. But gentlemen,- to make the future secure, to complete the work you have enter' d upon, you must hear and heed the de mands of the public. First, tiie public demands that you use vour power as a public trust, sec ond. that you put principles above ac quirements: third, that you put public duty above personal allegiance. Ymi must see clearly, feel deeply and a t fearlessly as you stand together, working for flic improvement of your srlvy. and fpr your cause.” Mr. Dunnack went into details as to the duty of labor to capital and tin union mechanics’ duty to the general public in the matter of doing all flic woi k instrusted to ttiem to tiie very best of their ability. At the conclu sion of the address refreshments were served. KENNEBEC WOMEN’S CLUBS. Field Day Next Wednesday at Skow hegan Sure to be a Success.

Mr. and Mrs. Pollard will reside it Benton where Mr. Pollard is engaged In farming. Sorolla, Painter of Sunlight. Tl is “fecund and racial genius.” as Mr. Brmton terms him. was born at Valencia <*1 humble parents in 1883. His appear ance in the art world, at the age of twen ty-one, was signalized by a youthful impetuosity thoroughly characteristic of the man. He had determined to depict a hull tight, hut instead of painting from imagination or relying upon preconcep tions of the dramatic, he grouped his models about the dusty hull ring of Val encia, and steeped them in actual smoke iu order to get the most natural effect possible. The picture was not in itself of exceptional quality, hut it led to greater work. In 1SS4 Sorolla won in open com petition the coveted prize of Rome, and sat up his studio in the Italian capital. It was at Paris, however, in the sincere and homely naturalism of Bastien-Lepage, that lie found his first great artistic stimulus: and when he later returned to the familiar scenes of his native country he was equipped to do the real work of his life. “Sorolla lives in a con stant state of luminous and impulsive ex teriorization. His pictorial language is well nigh universal, hut it is fundament ally a languga of visual appearances. Ho is an ot'-Piyer whose sole instinct is to record with an almost irrepressible au that which happens to hold his fancy for the moment. And yet. nl ii.nign these myriad-lined impressions r»if*v at first apnear wanting in system and relation, there nevertheless runs, at mast, unconsciously, through the art of Fenor Sorolla a unity of feeling and purpose which links together every stroke of that restless and magical brush, diverse as she may seem, nature herself is constantly achieving a. closer structure •*’‘t a subtler synthesis of her varied forces, and it is thus with the work of ..or* ua, which is nature’s reflex in so far .*us he can make it. If this art is any thing. it fs an apotheosis of visible, ex ternal beauty.. It rises to positively lyri cal heights in its worship of solar radi ance- it is a jubilant symphony of sun light “—Current Literature. While many plants close their petals or fold their leaves as darkness approaches, the testimony of most scientists is to the effect that none ceases to grow. A series '*f experiments was recently made in the East with quick-growing plants, such as asparagus, lettuce, radishes and the like, with a view of ascertaining whether the growth continues at night with as great rapidity as during the day. The result determined that, while the growth is con tinual with most plants, it is by no means so, rapid during the dark hours as during flic light. There are, however, many ex ceptions to this, not a few plants being nocturnal ami growing more and faster during the night than in. the daytime. The.se. however, are usually tropical, and their habitat is commonly iu dense for ests. where even during the daytime no great amount of light is able to penetrate.

The condition of the 1909 crop is ex cellent, according to the Canadian Paci lic Railway report this week, and the far mers of Western Canada are looking for ward to securing a big harvest. AH the wheat has been sown and the percentage of barley, oats and (lax that remains to be put in is small. Reports from all points regarding the growing conditions are excellent. Ideal growing weather prevails and light rains and warm weath er have done an enormous amount of work in bringing up the grain. In a great many places the wheat is reported eight inrlies high and in the more backward points it is from two to four inches high. lr. Manitoba all the grain is sown with the exception of about 20 per cent of the coarse seed, while the wheat is making remarkable progress. Minnesota reports favorable progress and good prospects, and the same note is sounded from Bran don. Varcoe, Emerson. Tuolon, Souris and La riviere sections. Further west the same good reports are sent in. and in these sections a good supply of rain has been secured, which has given an added impetus, to the growing and the grain is in a healthy condition. By the end of this week all the grain should be in and the seeding rush over.—Winnepeg dis patch to Tlia Toronto Mail and Empire. A Baked-Bcan Luncheon. One of the most effective tablets 1 ever laid for my little daughter's pleasure was a. luncheon planned just one hour be fore it happened. One of her chums going through my kitchen as I opened the oven door said, “.Oh. I love baked beans, and 1 always older them whenever we go to Fields." Ho Hie “party" started. Some “left-over” crepe-paper napkins with wreaths of tiny yellow flowers were laid on I lie polished oak table for center piece and plait dollies. In the center stood a low glass bowl filled with small yellow sunflowers, and each place favor whs a larger one. The quaint brown bean pot graced one corner, and diago nally across from It was a plate of old fashioned gingerbread. On another coi ner was placed the sandwiches of thtn slices or Graham and white bread laid together, while the fourth corner held the hot Boston blown bread. Halted peanuts and tiny cucumber pick les kept within the color scheme, while sliced bananas with whipped cream for dessert made a good ending to the I “Brown and yellow Luncheon." Not an extra thing was needed out side my ordinary supplies, and I may add I had no maid at the time. I Such a stable would lie very attractive at a church fair, while for the woman wh i desires to entertain at a small cost It would be a charming luncheon.

A Generous Sacrifice. Falre sat in Iter room on the eventful morning counting over the Italian coins which her mother had given her the night before. "For the necklace, dear.** Mrs. Atherton had said, "and the keepsakes for the home people.” "One hundred and twenty-live francs! Twenty-five dollars!” the little girl chant ed softly. “Dearie me! What gorgeous things I can buy!”—-» -cm Just then the door which- Falre had left unlocked opened and the small cham ber maid appeared with 'broom and dust ers to arrange tlie room for the day! She was about to withdraw hastily when the American girl called her. She had been weeping again; in fact, she seemed to be always sorrowful, and kind little Falre felt that she must fathom these depths of woe. “What is the matter. Tereslta?" she asked gently. “You have been crying, I know. Won't you tell me what troubles ycu?” Teresita spoke very fair English, but foi a moment shp did not answer. Then she said with a little catch In her voice; “I am unhappy, very unhappy!" “I am so sorry." and Falre clasped her; hands before her in a way she had when she felt most deeply. "I noticed how sad you looked the first day we were here. What is the trouble? Can I help you?"

Then the story all came out. Tereslta was the eldest of seven children and her widowed mother was very poor. The girl had been in school until about six wpeks ago, and had she stayed on until the end of the term would have received what she called a “certeefleate." and then might easily have obtained a good position in a shop. But the mother had he»n' ill for several weeks In the winter and unable to do her regular laundry work for the hotel, and. the household funds were consequently so low .that when Teresita's gown and shoes became too badly, worn to appear at school, new ones were out of the question. "And so." the little maid finished, "I did goeve it all up. and came hdre. The hotel people furneesh the clothes, but I shall never get here enough wage to help the mother, white if I might have had a potcetion in a shop I should have earnned as much as twenty francs a week. I.Was so deesappointed.” Falre looked at pretty, sorrowful Tere sila and then she looked at her little sll- vei purse for a moment. "Don’t cry!” she said softly at last. "How much would a new gown and. new sheps and the other things you heed CO"t "Fifty francs." Teresita said •Mly. “And I shall never earn here so muoh Alllr. til am too old for school." Falre rose and walked around the chair where the little Italian had dropped down, and suddenly something glittered on Teresita’s White apron. “Oh, but you rruist not!’!' thw gffirT cried. "Fifty francs! Madame, the knotti er. will not like It." "It Is mine.” Falre said. "Mother gave It to me for a coral necklace, but would far rather have you usa It, TeW gJ4 a For moment Faire’s straight ilUle American figure in Its Peter Thompson suit stood opposite Teresita's little, rounded, already stooping form "Jp Its uniform of service, and thdn -the two girls suddenly put their arms about each other and Falre felt a soft kiss on her cheek.

Roy Thomas Slated For Bowerman’s Job. Roy Thomas is to be the next man ager of the Boston Nationals. This is given out by those who are supposed to be on the inside of affairs pertain ing to the Boston team, which, it is said will present a more formidable ap pearance. It is almost a certainty that Frank Bowerman will figure in a trade, as several major league clubs would like to add the former Giant backstop to their roster, notably McGraw, Bower man’s old chief, who is weak in the catching department. Myers, the Indian, is a fair back stop, but it is bitting that makes him a major league possibility. Admiral Schlei has been somewhat of a disap pointment in New York. John Dovey, president of the Boston Club, will be in Philadelphia on Sat urday. Dovey says that there was nothing in the report that Beaumont had been released, but said that plans had been made to strengthen the Bos ton team, but at present he was un willing to make known anything con cerning the release or purchase of men because something might happen that, arrangements would not go through as scheduled.—Philadelphia Times. PRESIDENT DOVEY BOLSTERING UP THE BOSTON NATIONALS. Boston, Julv 2.—President J. S. C. Dovey is getting busy with the recon struction of the Boston Nationals. He has secured Pitcher Forrest More of the St. Louis Club. He gets him for the waiver price, $1500. “Billy” Hamilton of the Lynn, New England League, club has had a con ference with President Dovey. He wants Stem for his team. This may be put through provided Dovey gets an option on any Lynn player and that Stem returns to Boston at the end of the end of the New England League season. Mr. Dovey declares there will be no immediate change in manager for his team and adds that Beaumont has not been given his notice. The Doves' president is after all the pitchers he can get. More will join the team in Philadelphia. National Commission Makes New Rule. Cincinnati, Ohio, July 2.—The National Baseball Commission has given out a new rule, called forth by the unjust acts of semi-professional players who are under contract with clubs of the semi-profes sional leagues of Chicago in signing con tracts with national agreement clubs and violating contracts with the semi-profes sional clubs. The rule follows: “Rule 50—Wherever a semi-professional player signs a contract with a semi-pro fessional team, said contract is to bn re spected the, same as if It had been entered into by tlio player with a national agree ment club, and under no conditions will any national agreement club be permitted to sign such players to any other con tracts until after the expiration of the player's contract with the semi-profes sional team: provided, however, that any national agreement club owner can enter ir.to an agreement for tlie purchase or re lease of such player, either for the year for which the said player is under con tract with such semi-professional team or for future use, with the club owner of the semi-professional team to whom the player is under contract, but in all such cases the consent of the player must be obtained before such an agreement can be entered into.” Rule 36, relative to natlona! agreement players and clubs, formerly provided tha* options on minor league players could be exercised by major league clubs Aug. 20. and that players must report three days later. An amendment to this rule is also promulgated The new provisions Is to the effect that the National Baseball Commission may, if it so desire, grant the minor league club the players’ services for the remainder of the season. GERMAN SONDER YACHTS ARE CHOSEN FOR MARBLEHEAD RACES. Kiel, July 2.—The committee of the Imperial Yacht Club formed to select German representatives in the races for sonder klasse yachts, which are to be held at Marblehead, Mass., this summer, met in this city today under the chairmanship of Prince Henry. The committee decided to send C. Alts' Wittleshach V; Hevella, owned by O. Protzen and W. Rachenus and Herr Berghoff's Seebund II. The boats will be shipped to America within a few days. The men who are to sail the yachts will go later. CHALLENGE FOR CUP MAY BE FORTHCOMING. Glasgow, July 2.—It is understood here that the ltoyal Ulster Yacht Club has decided to invite the New York Yacht Club to disclose definitely in what conditions a challenge for the America cup would be received and what concessions would be granted. This step will be taken with the view to an early challenge if the reply is at all favorable. The Markets. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Features of the Day’s Dealings in All The Leading Stocks. New York, July 2.—The stock market today was a trivial affair comparatively, both In the volume of dealings and in the feehle fluctuations of prices. The im minence of the three-day holiday inter val left the speculative element indispos ed to take chances of accident happening during that period. News developments received little attention. The undertone was very firm and the waiting attitude of the speculation was coupled with an apparent determination to cling to present stockholdings. Today confirmed the con viction that the money market was se cure against even a ripple of disturbance from the progress of the July settlements. Call loan rates here were easier than yes terday. in spite of the stock market de mand to carry over until next Tuesday. The inflow of cash from the interior con tinues larger than the. gold outgo and a prospect of possible additional gold ex ports was regarded, therefore, with indif ference. A group of stocks of small bankrupt railroads with reorganization plans being worked out showed acute wea' ness and fell riyjjdly towards the point of extinc tion of value. Chicago Great Western, for instance, sold as low as 1.}. The local tractictn stocks facing reorganization also made violent decline. The general market was comparatively undisturbed by this center of weakness, although some check to an earlier upward tendency was per ceptible. The signs of fright amongst cotton buyers, which were caused by the publication of tlie government’s estimate of conditions of that crop, were equally Ignored. The advance in Union Pacific was helped by the report that the com pany had sold its allotment of the new Southern Pacific convertible bonds to which it was privileged, as a Southern Pacific stockholder, to subscribe at 96. These bonds advanced today to 101, a rec ord price. Tlie Lackawanna “melon cut ting" was assigned as the ground for the special strength in Reading. Copper rose in the London market today and this gave some benefit to the copper industrials. The market was in a state of virtual stag nation at times and closed easy. Bonds were irregular.

A "ide paved street lay before it—a street with shade trees down the sides and a dainty little park through the (.'enter. All the houses in Park Place were large and handsome, and the little girls "ho played about them looked as if sorrow had never been heard of in their world. .Marguerite lived next door to Bessie on one side and Dorothy on the other. One day, the last of June, the three lit tle girls sat together—as they often did —on Bessie’s front porch. “What are you going to do at your house to celebrate the Fourth of July?” asked Marguerite. “I’ve been wondering,” put in peace maker Dorothy, “how we would feel if "e eouldn t have any good times or nice things at all. Just think of the children in Tenement How—I don’t s pos they’ll have any fun, and there’s so many of them. Girls, why couldn’t we-” ‘T’ouldn’t we what?” demanded two voices, as I >orothy paused. “Sort of help to give them a good time, buy some crackers and torpedoes and a few rockets for them to have on their own street?” “What’s the use?” asked Marguerite, impatiently. “We never could buy enough to go all round, and they’d prob’ly fight over them and be horrid.” “Wo could do all we could—and be doing unto others as we’d like to be done by. 1 don’t believe they’d fight poor little tilings,” persisted Dorothy. It seems strange that only one square away from the cool veranda stood Ten ement Row, as crowded and uncomfor table as Park Row was roomy and beautiful. On the very afternoon that tlie girls sat there talking, another lit tle girl was carried in to Tenement Row and laid in a lied beside a window that overlooked Bessie’s pretty home. This other little girl had been knocked down by a runaway horse, and had her leg dreadfully broken. Through tlie long hot days she lay there, weak and suffering, growing pa ler and thinner 1 the time. She was still there whi-i the glorious Fourth rolled round, t nk to show the joy of the other <_.. i. i in tlie generous gifts from t,.c l little girls. Too full of suffering to moved from her hard bed, yet not rough to pre vent a wistful loncji to have some share in the good tirr s. Bessie saw the pale iktle face at the window, watching her as she ran about tlie yard, tying up the Japanese lan terns and helping trim the summer house with Hags and flowers. Some how the other little girl haunted her thoughts, till at last, looking up, she nooded brightly. The wan smile that answered filled her heart with pity, and suddenly Dorothy's words flashed into her mini!, “We could do as we’d like to be done by.” “Why are you fixing ail these things, papa?” she asked. •'Because it s Fourth of July, (laugh ter, 'the clay we celebrate.’ “Yes, sir; but wliat else?” "To please you, 1 guess. Aren's you satisfied, pet?” “It's lovely—only—. Papa. I want to ask the greatest favor. You’re sure you won't mind?” “As sure as sure. What is it, your highness?” and papa smiled lovingly into the earnest face. “In Tenement House Row—look over and you'll see her at the fourth story back window, Maggie McColloeh, papa, and her leg is broken so she can’t move at all. is he can't have a bit of lun all day. just lias to lie there and suffer. Ami, papa, if it's to please me, and you're sure you don’t care, let's have our fireworks out here instead of in front." “Why, daughtie, I thought it was your ambition to outshine Marguerite!” “It was, but I've changed by mind. The Park Place people will have lots of pretty things to iook at, ana Maggie can’t see a bit of it with all the houses in the way till tlie rockets and fiery serpents get clear up above tlie tree tops—and her window is very narrow. May we?” “Indeed we may, dear. Father is glad his liessie is learning tlie valuable lesson that helps us think of tlie pit as uri s of others before our own, espec ially of those who have few pleasures at best.” That night the lanterns swung gaily in the breeze, the flags floated and Puttered; but Marguerite and Dorothy watched in vain for the brilliant dis play which was to rival their, wonder ing why it was that the promised dis play was not to be seen in front of Hcssie’s house. Out behind the house the pin wheels whirled, the colored lights flash, d, tlie set pieces blazed against tin dark background of grass and slir Pdiory, while tlie pale little face in th. fourth tlor.Y window of Tenement How ,‘usned and brightened till it was radiant with joy. Other faces appeared at many win dows, all wan and weary and iho beau tiful tilings shone out *or them, loo, and told them that back of the kind act there lay a loving thought that nn ant more thin a" tlie fireworks in Park Place—something higher and more en during than such tilings. And that was the way one little girl applied tlie Golden Rule to the Fourtli of July.—Christian Work. The Patriots. Tlie burls cannon cracker to the slender little flag Said. "How are you to celebrate the day? You never make a single sound, you can not jump nor shoot. And where they put you, there you have to stay.” The rockets, roman candles, and the gid dy racy wheels With patriotic zeal began to brag Of how they'd leap and bang and fizz and flare and whirl—and all United to deride the silent flag.

Jean!" called a quivering voice, and an old lady came down tile walk as quickly as she could. “Would it be too much trouble for you to match this yarn? I can't find it here at all.” "Mot a bit of trouble, Mrs. Clayton,” said Jean heartily, “i'll bring it this evening.” "The idea of that old lady bothering you with a bit of yarn,” laughed Edna Fllmore as soon as they were our of hearing. "Why didn’t she send it by mail to some reliable house in the city?” "Mrs. Clayton doesn’t know about mail-order business,” explained Jean. "I have done errands for ever since I started to school in town. There comes Miss Ross to meet me, and 1 suppose she has some errand too. I am a sort of shopping agency for the village.” "Jean, dear,” said the dressmaker, a little out of breath from her brisk walk, "could you bring me a spool cf silk to match this sample? Miss Belle Edens is very anxious to have her dress tomorrow and I couldn’t get it by mail in time. I am sorry to trouble you, but you always say it doesn't matter. I wish I could repay you for all your kindness, but that is out of the question.” “Of course I can get it, Miss Ross,” said Jean. “I pass Taylor Trent’s twice a day and it will only take a minute of my time. Tell Bell she may depend on me.” "Jean Burton! If you aren’t a little goose to let people impuse upon you like that! You’ll have to remember the yarn and thread all day and then take your time to buy them this even ing. I’ve heard of people who needed guardians, but I never suspected you were one of that class till now.” "This isn’t anything," said Jean, stoutly. "1 must go to town to school every day and have nearly an hour in the evening to wait for the train, sc the errands help me to avoid lone liness. The waiting-room is too dark and noisy to study, so I rather enjoy seeing the pretty things in the stores." "Come in and have some hot choco late after our hard day’s work,” said Florence Knight, laughingly, as sh 1 walked down street from school a week later with Jean and Edna. "Honestly, girls, 1 do thing Mr. Reed gives difficult problems. My brain is tired when night comes.” The three girls were sipping choco late by this time, and Florence hastened to say, "Well, I think it's a shame they impose upon you.” Most of the girls in the class took Edna’s opinions readily, and Florence was no exception. “If you don’t take a firm stand one of these days, you will hav1 to take a trunk with you every day." “That's exactly what 'j said,” laughed Edna, "but Jean disregards my friendly warning. This chocolate is delicious. Waiter, bring us some of those new wafers and ice-cream for three.” "Not for me,” said Jean, rising. "I have several errands to do, and it is only half an hour till train time.” “You see!” said Edna, triumphantly. “She cannot even enjoy a wafer and a dish of ice-cream because Hf the tire some old ladies and their five-cent errands. She is joined to her idols, so we will have to let her alone.” “Mrs. Alden might have bought this braid herself,” said Jean with a frown as she emptied the contents of her bag that evening at home and sorted them on the sittingroom table. "I had to leave the girls in the ice-cream parlor to hurry out and buy twenty five cents’ worth of stuff. Don’t you think they impose upon me, mamma?" "Why, I don’t know,’ said Mrs. Burton, slowly. “They are all old neighbors, and you have told them time and again that you like to do errands.” wen, l <10, nut that is no reason why they should try to find them for me. I do like to accommodate them when they are in a hurry, but this thing of saving up shopping till they see me pass is getting to be very tire some. Yesterday I bought two spools if sixty thread for Miss Ross when she might have gone to the store as well as not.” “She had a very bad headache yesterday, Jean, and could not dress to go out. I am sorry you feel this way after encouraging them, for I am ifraid the habit has become fixed with some of them. You used to say you enjoyed going into the large city stores.” "Just as sure as one of the girls mines out to stay all night, some one runs after me with a sample of this or that," burst out Jean, now thoroughly pitying herself. "The other day when Edna was here, old Mrs. Clayton, with i shawl wrapped around her head an I tier oldest wrapper on. called me. Edna’s friends are so stylish, and sh thinks from tile way the neighbors talk to me that they are bosom com panions of ours. J’m getting tired of it.” “All the neighbors are good friends if ours,” argued Mrs. Burton. “Mrs. flayton is very kind-hearted, and al! the rest would do anything in their power if we were sick or in trouble. I don’t like the idea of your being ashamed of the people who have been kind to us ali their lives.” "If we were sick we could afford to hire trained nurses, and if we were in trouble they are all to poor to help us out." said Jean, positively. “I’m go ing to think out some plan In rid my self of the burden of shopping.” “You’ll never do that till you come squarely out and declare yourself inde pendent.” said her brother John, after Mrs. Burton left the room. “I don’t be lieve in beating about the bush. Just tell the old ladies you haven't time for such nonsense, and the trouble will be over.” “Mother would Vie horrified at the mere suggestion,” unless Ji-an. “I'm a helpless victim unless 1 can think up some scheme to circumvent them." "That will be never." said John, going back to his book with the air of one who has settled the question, and his sister ran across the way to deliver her bundles. The winter and spring passed rapidly, and summer found Jean still running her “shopping agency,” as she ex pressed it. School was dismissed tor the summer vacation, but she still went to the city for music and drawing les sons ail through the exquisite month of June, and when she returned in the soft twilight her shopping bag bulged with bundles. Apparently the neigh bors thought she did no more errands than usual. It was only that she de spised to be bothered and teased by her city friends that tlie load seemed heavy and the little ten-cent purchases maddening to the last degree. "I have decided to take your advice, John,” said Jean, holding up a handful of square envelopes. “Look at this!” ’Jean Burton announces that she is too busy to do any errands for her friends from this date,’ read John. “Whew! Good for you, Sis! I didn't think you had tiiat much backbone. Are you going to deliver these from house to house?” “Of course not, silly' I have my plans carefully thought out and the time is very propitious. Mother is away for a week, and on the Fourth I go to visit Edna. I will mail these envelopes the evening of the third, and by the time I get hack the whole tiling will be set tled. They’ll never tell mother and I will be free.” “Yes, the Fourth of July is a good time to declare your independence,” said John, with a grin. “I’ll venture to say you'll never mail these letters.” "You’ll see. I’m tired of this non sense. I never thought of the Fourth of July, but it will be a good time to strike for liberty. I'm going this minute to pack my trunk, and I wish you would tell the man from the livery sta ble to come promptly to take it to the depot. They usually send some tri lling boy you can’t depend upon, and 1 don’t want to get to the city without my clothes. Impress it upon their minds, John, that they must come before three o’clock on the afternoon of the third, for I may start then instead of wait ing till the next day.” For once the trilling boy came on time,and Jean saw the trunk contain ing her entire summer wardrobe loaded into the shaky wagon drawn by a fris ky colt. She was to go with her friend to a summer resort and would need her prettiest and coolest frocks for the warm weather. “That is off my’mind,” said Jean, as she deposited lier bunch of envelopes in the ofliee just at closing-time. “It is just as John says, you have to de clare your independence if you don’t want to be a slave.” “Jean, dear,” said Miss Ross, run ning in next morning out of breath, “could you—” “Another errand,” thought Jean, and then remombered her resolution. “I’m not going to be in the city very long. Miss Ross,” she said, firmly. “Edna is—” “Please come over to my house a few minutes,” said Miss Ross, who had recovered her breath. “I must see you at once.” She hurried away, and Jean felt forced to follow, though a heavy frown disfigured her pretty face. “I hope everything is all right, dear,” went on Miss Ross from the depths of Jearf’s trunk, whiheh stood on the sitttingrfooin floor in the midst of sewing sSjtPs and articles of clothing. “My trunk!’"'^gasped Jean. ‘T sent it to the city lay express yesterday be cause the trail}—” “That no-{fccount boy from the livery stable let the colt run away anil scatter your things.” interrupted Miss Ross. “Mrs. Clayton and some of the other neighbors helped me gather them up, and we washed and cleaned them the best we could. Look them over, Jean, and see if they are all right. The trunk is broken, but you can use it till you get to the city.” With trembling fingers Jean lifted the exquisitely ironed white garments and noticed that everything had been carefully^ cleaned and pressed. Even tlie elaborate underskirts she had put in rough dry, intending to have them done in the city laundry, were shining from the hot iron of Mrs. Burby, who hovered near to see whether or not Jean would be pleased. “When did you all do this?” asked Joan, her voice shaking. “They never went to bed at all last night, but washed and pressed a'l night,” said little Jenny Burby, before her mother could silence her. “You ought to have seen your clothes, Jean after that horse scattered them in the dust.” i wo tri mming nanus pusneu me load of white garments off her lap, and and Jean ran (swiftly to the post office. “Those letteers I mailed last night,” she gasped. “Are they all here yet? I put in seventeen square envelopes last night, and—” “Let me see,” said the old post master with provoking slowness. “One was for Mrs. What did I do with them? Oh, yes, I laid them back here till I’d get a chance to look them over real well. You ain't going to have a wedding at your house are you?” Jean fairly snatched the seventeen square envelopes from the old gentleman’s hand, and fled with such haste as to almost upset Mable Ford coming for the mail. Not till she reached the shelter of her mother’s clean kitchen and astonished the hired girl out of., her wits by thrusting the whole mass into the hottest part of tile fire, did she breathe freely. "My Declaration of Independence? Yes, indeed, it was a succcess, John," she said to her brother as she started serenely to the train. “I have de clared myself free from the opinions of all the girls in the world, and from henceforth intend to behave myself in a manner worthy the love and re spect of my dear friends. What do you think? The stupid boy scattered my possessions from one end of Main Street to the other, and the dear ladies gathered them together and sat up all night to wash and iron and mend them so I would not lose my visit.

Mrs. Lee?" she went on. as a fat lady rushed out with a bit of pink calico in her hand. “Yes. I'm going to the city, and shall be delighted to bring the calico for your quilt when I come back. Not a bit of trouble, I assure you. I am glad to do errands for my friends.” And she meant every word of it.—Interior. Nearly 120,000 infants under a year old die every year in England.

The glorious Fourth is, it is a safe wager, the one day in the year that the small boy loves the best. It is a day that the little girl welcomes with delicious thrills of excitement and ter ror, and the firm resolve that she will be quite as foolhardy—pardon,— as courageous—as the big boy nejjt door. It is a day that the business man en joys, negligently, perhaps. And it is the one day in all the 365 that the American woman most dreads and fears. One reason for her seeming lack of patriotic fervor is, of course, the fear that the children’s eyes may be blown out and the house burned down and the whole home and family exploded. The other reason is that, throughout all history, the domestics have been accorded the Fourth of July as an ex tra “day out.” Wherefore, though lather and the kiddies may be having a gorgeous time putting off the fire works, it's filother's stern duty to put up the meals. None the less, the celebration of In dependence Day carries its message not only to the small hoy and the daring daughter and the long-suffering father who sets off the Roman candles. If, underneath all the rash tumult and the “glorious” blataney of our celebration of the Fourth of July, there is a grain of thoughtfulnesss, of actual patriotic feeling, it belongs to the American wo man, too. AnJ it is well that, once a year, Un American woman should think of this, should see her duty to her husband and her children and herself as being, quietly but no less insistently, a duty to her country, should understand that rightly to bring up her children means to make of them good citizens. The active, patriotic, earnest and wise \vo an of America may or may not believe in equal suffrage; she may or may not devote her spare moments to efforts for the enactment of a more stringent child labor law, or a more efficient civil service reform; she may or may not study ihe statistics of the Immi gration Bureau, and go in for settle ment work. But one thing site her self must do, she must be lurself a good citizen; she must stand, in hot own life and the lives of the men and women whom she influences, for “whatsoever tilings” are true and hon est and just and pure. Because the American woman holds so high a place in American life and American civili zation, it is inevitable that her influence should be a potent thing. “So lies the world in little in her heart”—in a very wide and a very real sense—that it is tremendously important, not only be cause sire is a good woman, but be cause she is essentially an American, that she should be “Sweet as only vigor can be sweet, And strong as only loveliness is strong.” Last month the Legislature of New York State fought a great battle for the suppression of race track gambling. The bill that made the betting booth illegal was passed by one vote—the vote of a man who left a sick bed, facing, what liis physicians declared to bo almost certain death, to give his voice in favor of what he believed to be right, not for himself and his friends, but for his state and his coun try. it is actions like this, signal deeds of patriotism, that, as well as the sign ing of the Declaration of Independence, may well be remembered on this the Fourth of July. And it is in actions like this, in the inspiration and the education and the fine instinct that make such things pos sible, that the American woman’s in fluence may become a cogent force and her patriotism be vitally powerful.— Exchange.

HE’S DONE JOKING. This Young Man Has No Further Real Interest in “Jumpers.” When the City of Bangor landed at the Eastern Steamship Company's wharf about 8.30 Friday morning one man on board, an employ, wanted the services of a physician as soon as he possibly could. His injuries were not the result of an accident, or altercation, but were received because of his fond ness for fun making, but in this case, he received anything but fun out of it. On board of the City of Bangor, is a South African Negro, another employe who is a convulsionaire commonly known as a “jumper.” It seems that the Negro was some what under the influence of liquor and in a particularly angry mood at the time when this man made his "jump.” He “jumped" all right, but “jumped” on his sailor friend and although we sometimes admire a Negro’s white

pearly teeth, we never admire their bite for bites and linger nail scratches prove oftentimes to be very dangerous and sometimes fatal. The Negro, who is a large burly fellow, pinned the white man to the floor and before the! other sailors could separate them, the Negro had bitten ills tormentor about the arm, shoulder, neek and fare on one side, causing bad lacerations. Upon reaching the dock, the young man, who claims Boston as his home, hurried to C. H. Beane's drug store where Mr. Beane upon examination told him that he would he unable to do anything for him, hut referred him to Dr. Donnell, across the street. The doctor was in and attended to his ease. He bathed him in a solution to prevent blood poisoning, which was greatly to be expected, and gave him enough of the solution to bath himself frequent ly, after which the young man hurried back to his boat. It is safe to say that his Negro friend will not be troubled by him for some days to come. Church Notices. Chelsea M. E. chapel: Sunday school at 2 P. M.; preaching service al 3 P.

New York, July 2.— The largest new contracts placed for steel products last week were for rails, wirp products, merchant pipe, and fabricated struc tural steel. The distribution of l.T'.ooo tons of the Harriman rail order was announced, as well as additional new contracts for about 105,000 tons. Con tracts arc still pending for about 25,000 tons, which probably will be •dosed !his week, making the total orders for June a little over 300,000 tons. There has been but little decrease in the demand for wire products, the dally orders of the American Steel and Wire Company last week running between 9,000 and lo.ooo tons, and specifications from 5000 to G,00o tons a day. The railroads have placed numerous small orders for bridges, viaducts, and terminal work, including turn-tables. Among the roads placing additional contracts ore the St. Paul, the Chicago and Northwestern, the Baltimore anj Ohio, Long Island, Wabash, Iowa Cen tral, Louisville and Nashville, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, Pennsylvania Lines West of Pittsburg, Santa Fe, and the Southern Pacific. The total structural orders last week were 30,000 tons, including 4,000 tons of castings for several subsidiary c."T?pan ics of the United States Steel Corpora tion. Two cooling mills are to be erec ted at the Gary plant, requiring 5,000 tons of steel, which will lie fjrr.ishctl by the American Bridge Company. Because of the congested condition of some of tlie finishing mills due to large orders and specifications, premiums arc being asked for prompt shipment of strux tural material from warehouses. Nearly all finished material is lining heid at higher prices and even sheets are firmer in tone, with less shading.

DEVELOP BRITISH OIL FIELDS. London Paper on the Prospects of A Fuel Famine in Case of War. London, July 2.—The Pall Mall Ga zette urges the Government to assist in the development of British oil fields, es pecially in Burma and Nigeria. TtJ points out that many ships in the navy use oil as fuel, and that many others are being adapted to use it. Without a large supply of petroleum many useful fighting units would be rendered absolutely ineffective. At fin* present moment the navy is dependent on the United States for nearly all Its supply, and it is rare that the storage tanks contain more than enough to last three months. "Petroleum Is contraband of. war." says the Gazette, “and it is not difficult to conceive a combination of circum stances which would result in cutting off all supplies from the United States and other foreign countries.” The number of postoffices in the United States is nearing the 62,000 murk, although thousands have been discontinued since rural free delivery was introduced.

Commencing next Monday afternoon Joseph J. Flynn will present the tune ful musical comedy “A Japanese Hon eymoon.” The story of the comedy is In brief as follows: The act opens with the approaching public announcement of Pin Tu, the ruler's betrothal. The law decreed that unless the chief magistrate of a village marries upon his ascendency to that office within three months, he shall be sacrificed to the "God of Love.” Pin Tu, who seems to have been born vithc ut a heart, vainly tries all reme dies known to Japanese science with the hopes of falling in love, as the law is equally severe concerning loveless unions. His matrimonial advisdr, Ban Ko, tries to awaken the 'dorment little love of God in his chief's breast by admin istering to him a love portion but seem ingly with no effect..A happy thought lays hold of Ban Ko, by which he think* he can solve the problem. There having arrived on the island a little American girl to meet her sweetheart Carl, an ensign of the American navy, who will arrive in port with a pleasure party consisting of Dorothy, an “up-to-date" girl, and Falsetto, a tourist of the old school. Ban Ko exacts the promise from the little American, to don the garb of a Japanese, to be known as Sang Foy. and if possible work her artless Amer ican coquettry on Pin Tu in the hopes of awakening in him the power of love. This, she consents to do—to weave the same around her sweetheart Carl. Falsetto, who arrives with the American party, is a maid of uncertain age, but having inherited a vast es tate, provided she married before reaching the age of discretion. Hearing of the broad laws in vogue on the far away island, where a maid becomes more beautiful as the happy years flit by, determines to avail herself of the opportunity. She dons upon her arriv al a much exaggerated garb of the Japanese and sallies forth determined to conquer or die. She, with the others of the American party, are presented to Pin Tu. He falls in love with Falsetto. Carl falls in love with the supposed Japanese beauty. Here many complications arise afford ing much merriment. As is usual with musical comedies, all ends happily. The cast presenting “A Japanese Hon eymoon” is an excellent one. There is a large chorus of pretty girls, hand some costumes and picturesque stage settings. The music is bright and catchy with many of the newest song hits. A special matinee wrill be given at 2.50 Monday afternoon. The evening performance at 7.50. Commencing Mon day, July 5, cars will leave Augusta for Island Park at 6.10, 6.40, 7.10 and 7.30; returning after the performance and connecting for Hallowell and Gar diner at Western avenue and State street.

I was sick for six months and what I suffered tongue could not tell. I could not sleep day or night because of that dreadful itching; when I did sleep it was from sheer ex haustion. I was one mass of irritation; it was even in my scalp. The doctor's medicine seemed to matte me worse and I was almost out of my mind. I got a set of the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent. I used them persistently for twenty-four hours. That night I slept like an infant, the first solid night’s sleep I had had for six months, in a month I was cured. W. Harrison Smith, Mt. Kisco, N.

City League Game Between Firemen and Plumbers Stopped' In Sixth. The City League baseball game be tween the Firemen and the Plumbers, which was played on the Reuel Wil liams Athletic field Friday afternoon, ended abruptly in the first of the sixth inning, with a disagreement between the tdams, which prevented further play. Both managers now claim the game as a forfeit game on the ground of the opposing team leaving the field and it will probably take a meeting of the entire board of managers to satis factorily adjust the maftfer. Catcher Albee of the Firemen was running to third base in the first of the sixth and collided forcibly with HojOT? the third baseman of^the Plumbers, throwing him to the ground. Umpire Patiuin called Albee out but Albee claimed that Hoxie dropped the ball and it was over this decision of the umpire that the disagreement began. The Firemen left the field anjl Jones the first baseman went immediately home, but the other players of the Firemen’s team remained about the grounds and a few minutes later start ed to go on the diamond with Hendae in the place of Jones. The Plumbers refused to accept Hendce as a substi tute player and no further attempt was made to continue the game. The' score when the disagreement began was five to two in favor of the Firemen. Historical and Biographical.—(Com municated). About a century and one-half ago the territory now comprising the cities of Augusta, Hdllowell and Gardiner was sold for the small sum of $2000. This ter ritory not only embraced the above naln ed places but was in breadth 15Mjlles upon each side of the Kennebec rifmBfnd ex tended from the southern litftns of the Cobbosseecontee to tne northedBhne of the town of Madison.

Captain Samuel Holden Iiaa just erected his log cabin upon the shores of .Moore river and he and ids wife, whose maiden name was Jane Farns worth, were battling against the fofces of an unbroken forest and upon this primeval soil was given this happy pair a large family of sons and daughters. Among these daughters was one that John B. Moory thought was better than the rest, and this daughter John wooed and won.

(Continued from Page One.) costumes and with the exception of the assassin everybody was in evening dress. Dhinagrl was attired in ordina ry morning dress and wore a turban. The tickets to the function were placed with great care in order that they get only into the hands of reliable persons. It is reported that the prisoner has made a long statement to the nolice, setting forth In detail his political grievances, hut this is being withhold until the authorities can malt?1 full in quiries. Nothing appears to be known at the India office of Dhinagris antecedents. The Indian students generally profess detestation of the crime, but neverthe less many of them are known to be active members of the Lotjtfon branches of the Societies conducting a campaign of sedition and anarchy in India. Scotland Yard recently received in formation which led to increased activ ity in investigating the movements and antecedents of certain Indian students here who, it is alleged, had designs on [imminent English officials. Lord Mor lev himself for sometime past has been under police protection and even when he left London he was attended by Scotland Yard detectives. Lieutenant Colonel Wyllie had spent his entire life working in the interests of the welfare of India. Dhinagri came to London from the Punjab some years ago. He belonged to the advanced section of the Indian Nationalist party and he has been tak ing a course in engineering at the Lon don University. During the commemoration of tile Indian mutiny he attracted attention by wearing a badge inscribed ‘‘In mem ory ol' the martyr.” Some of his fellow students taunted Dhinagri. who threat ened to cut the throat of orie of his most active tormentors. He was a hard working student but lie held very ad vanced political opinions. He was a fre quenter of India House, tiie local center of tin Indian agitators. Calcutta, July 2—There is today a recrudescence of political excitement in eastern Bengal and meetings to ex press sympathy with natives who have been deported are of almost daily oc currence. Arabindo Ghoz, one of the most prominent of the Indian agitators, is traveling through the country in the interests of an anti-government cam paign. He is preaching that the ”fiat of God lias gone out to the Indian na tion to unite, to be free and to be great.” Ohms, Amperes and Volts. When an electric current is flowing in the trolley wire or electric lighting circuit there are three factors involved. One of these is the pressure expressed in volts which causes the current to Mow; another is the resistance or op position offered by the circuit to the flow which is expressed in ohms: the last is the current strength or volume, expressed in amperes, which is main tained in the circuit as a result of the pressure overcoming the resistance. The ohm is named in honor of George Simon Ohm, a distinguished German electrician. The volt is named after tlui Italian scientist, Volta. The am pere is named after the French scien tist, Ampere. The unit of current is called the am pere. Tiie unit of electrical pressure or electromotive force is called the volt. The unit of resistance is called the ohm. The unit of electric power is the volt-ampere and this is called the watt. Seven hundred and forty six watts per hour equal one horse power. The unit of energy—the prod uct of electric power and time—is cal led the Joule, but this unit is too small foi practical purposes and the kilo watt-hour is used instead. The kilo watt hour is tiie work done by a thou sand watts working for one hour. These electrical terms are as familiar to electrical engineers as feet and inches arc to the average boy: the lay man does not understand because he has never been taught, has never had to use the terms, has never read about them. It is easier to understand these terms if we consider electricity as a fluid and liken it to a current of water flowing through a pipe. The rate of flow of water in the pipe depends upon gravitation and the height of the res ervoir or source above the outlet. The greater the height of the source the greater will bo the pressure of water and the greater the flow' in gallons per minute. It is just the same with elec tricity. A current flows from a high potential to a low potential whenever tb» two are joined by a conducting wire. It is merely a difference of level. Watch a stream of water from the noz zle of a garden hose striking a bank of soft earth. Considering it as a stream of electricity, which unfortuntely can not be seen, tiie force of the stream or its pressure represents voltage; the size of the stream or flow the amper age: the watta^f. the amount of work done in washing‘away the dirt. Sup pose the interior of the nozzle ami hose is rough, which offers a Resistance to the ready flow, of the stream; this friction and resistance is represented I by ohms in ay, electric,,ruaault; I I FEATS OF SPORTSMEN Fishing and Shooting Records of the Past Have Few Modern Equals. Are the sporting records of today as good as those of our great-grandfath ers? Are the sportsmen of today, on the points of skill and endurance, to he compared with those of the past, when we consider modern improve ments and modern conditions? Has anybody, for instance, ever ri valed the great catch of salmon made by the tenth Lord Home in April, 1795? C. G Barrington, who tells the story says: "It was a rainy day, with an east wind, and Lord Home caught 36 sal mon, weighing from 6 to 36 pounds. 'Apart from the amazing luck of the day, the fact is memorable for the mere powers of endurance displayed. Lord Home used to fish with a short rod—he thought 15 feet was the best length for a salmon rod—and a thick hair line, so that the actual exertion of casting would not have been so great as it would be with a 17-foot or an 18 foot rod. For that matter, too, lie must have done comparatively little casting; he must have been nearly all day long playing the 36 fish. But his is a record which the increase of net ting has probably established as im possible to beat.” Going on to shooting, has anybody ever beaten the record of the second Lord Maimesbury? "He kept a memo randum of every shot he fired for 40 years, ending with the year 1840. He fired 54,987 shots, killed 38,454 head of game, and missed 16,533 times; besides that ho calculated the distance which he walked, which would do credit to a hard-worked postman. He was out, taking one day with another, four hours a day for 90 days in the year, and walked two and a half miles an hour, so that in the 40 seasons he cov ered some 36,200 miles. Perhaps there may still be some treasured country side where a man may walk with a gun over his own manors lor 90 days in the year, but how many men who walk even 30 days keep a record of every cartridge fired—more, for Lord Mal mesbury even noted down every kind of game that he fired at?” Then there is the extraordinary rec ord in markmanship of Horatio Ross, who in a pigeon match with Lord Mac donald gave five vards and then won the match with a total of 52 pigeons out of 52 shots at 35 yards. Another extraordinary feat not frequently per formed war that he would go out and kill as many as twenty swallows before breakfast. It was Ross who offered to walk anybody to London for 500 pounds, and nobody would accept the challenge.—Tit-Bits. Bug War Saves Farmers Millions. Tne winter of 1906-'07 and the spring which followed it brought such a com bination of conditions in Oklahoma and northern Texas, that those states were swept, in April and May, by a plague of “greeti bugs” which did enormous damage to the wheat and oats crops, completely destroying them in many counties in those states, and doing con siderable damage in Kansas into which state the insects extended in great numbers. Tlie estimate made by a sci entist sent out by the Federal Depart ment of Agriculture was that the dam age done in Texas amounted to 50,000, 000 bushels of grain. In Oklahoma it was probably half that much. In Kansas it was considerably less— probably not far from lo.onn.ooo bush els. These estimates make a total loss in three states on account of the “green hug's" activities of approvi mately 85.000,000 bushels of grain worth, had it tmen harvested and marketed, r.ot'less than $60,000,000. Prof. S. .1. Hunter, hea.d of the de partment of entomology in that insti tution, at once recognized the danger and soon devised a remedy. He sent ”ut several field agents to locate a suf ficient supply of ihe spring grain aphis's most rapidl multiplying enemy, a wasp-like parasite. Three or four days sufficed to locate, near Enid, Ok lahoma. a wheat field in which the crop had been hopelessly ruined by the in sects, but to which the parasites had followed the bugs in great numbers. ■'The already ruined c-rop was purchased for a song and a small corps of men began cutting the smitten stalks, pack ing them in boxes and shipping them. laden with both green bugs and para sites, to the University of Kansas There they were kept in cold storage tintll they could be parcelled into small packages, the cold holding in suspen sion the development of the parasites. The small packages, which were about the size of cigar boxes were sent, by mail or express, to all who applied for them. The enormous number of parasites thus handled may be reckoned when it is known that 8,932 boxes were sent out over the state, each box containing it was estimated, 30,000 parasites—a total of considerably more than 250 millions. And these were only the progenitors, the starting stock—the ■'seed,” so to speak.—Technical World Magazine. “The Man They Couldn’t Hang.” A great crowd gathered at the Congregational Church in Newton Abbott, in Devonshire, recently to wit ness the marriage of John Lee, of Babbacombe, to the head nurse of the infirmary in the former village. There was nothing of particular interest in the ceremony to attract so much at tention, but the groom’s name is prob ably as widely known as any in that part of England, although this notoriety was gained by a most peculiar circumstance. Lee is generally called ‘'the man they couldn't hang," and undoubtedly this appellation is deserved, and very ap propriate. just twenty-three years ago he was convicted of the murder of th’ woman by whom he was employed as butler at Babbacombe, and a sentenc0 of death was passed upon him. Evi dently Providence has a special fate reserved for Mr. Lee, because he es caped unharmed, although several at tempts were made to hang him at the Exeter jail. The gallows in each in stance refused to act, and three times, when the condemned man had taken his stand upon the drop, it failed to fall. The remarkable part of it all was that previous to the actual tests the mechanism always worked per fectly. The news of the inability to execute John Lee spread throughout the country, creating a great sensation and making famous the Babbacombe murder. So great an impression was made that Lee's sentence was com muted to penal servitude, and lie was released a year ago after doing twenty-two years of his time.—Har per's Weekly. Hanging of a Peer. May 5 is celebrated as the anniver sary of the last occasion on which an English ncc* was executed for murder. The peer was Laurence Shirley, fourth Earl of Ferrers, who shot his steward end was tried for the offense by Ills peers in Westminster Hall, April 16. 1760, an l universally condemned, in spite if the plea of occasional insanity. On the eventful morning he set forth n his journey from the tower to Ty burn dressed in his best suit of light clothes, embroidered in silver and driv en in his own landau, drawn by six horses. It is said that he was the first to stiff ny the new drop, just then in troduced in place of the barbarous cart-indder, and three cornered gibbet, and as a concession to his rank he was hanged with a silken cord.—London Chronicle.

Announcement was made Friday at the office of the State superintendent of public schools that all is in readi ness for the annual convention of the American Institute of Instruction which will be in session in Castine for three days, beginning Tuesday, July 6. The preliminary program has already been published in these columns. Th complete program just issued shows several important additions. An important feature of the conven tion will be a federation of the leading educational associations of New Eng land Superintendents’ Association offers two strong programs for Tues day and Wednesday. This association will discuss on Wednesday morning the subject of public school penman ship, and among the leading speakers will be J. W. Dimes, director of the subject in the Chicago Normal School: J. C. Moody and Harry Houston, sup ervisors in New Britian and New Haven, and Supt. Walter Small of Providence. on Wednesday Prof. Walter Ballau Jacobs of Brown ITni versity, will give an address on the lopie learning us a i-i oiessiou. Supt. Walter Small of Providence will discuss the topic “The Annual School Report, How Can it he Made More Useful." A most important address at this session will lie that of A. B. Lincoln of the Northwestern Life Insurance Co. He will speak of the subject "Wherein the Public Schools Fall Short from a Business Man's Standpoint.” Supt. Morrison has secured Arthur O. Dean, chief of the trade division of the New York department of educa tion. who will give an address on “A State Policy for the Promotion of In dustrial Education.” The Eastern Kindergarten Association reports a very strong program including such speakers as Mr. Deveraux of the Salem Normal School; Frederick Whitney of tlie Massachusetts Normal School; Miss Emilio Poulsson of Hopkinton, Mass.; Miss Lucy Wheelock of Bos ton: Mrs. Jean N. Barrett of Spring field and Supt. Parkinson of Waltham. >ne of tlie strongest sections of the entire meeting will be that devoted to the riiril schools. Some of the fore most educators of New England who are intnested in rural education will lie present at tlie two meetings devoted to country schools. The discussion of industrial education will occupy an important place on tlie program and will include leading educators and manufacturers of tlie country. Pres. John (lolilen of the United Textile Workers of America is to speak on Tiiursday evening regarding the atti tude of organized lain r toward voca tional education. Local authorities have arranged for attractive recreation features. All rail roads have special rates for the Castine meeting, and a large attendance is pre dicted. Iii connection with the coming ex amination for State teachers certifi cates State Supt. Payson Smith has sent out the following circular under date of July X: The subjects in which candidates will be examined are reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, geography, Knglisli grammar. United States history, physi ology and hygiene, elementary science or nature studies, civil government, theory and practice of teaching and school law. The questions submitted will be fair tests of such know ledge as every teach er should possess. They will be such that no properly qualified teacher of primary grades need fail to pass and yet such that, to attain the highest grades of certificate, the candidate must possess thorough and accurate knowledge of every subject of exami nation. The certificates issued will be four grades and of four periods of duration. Orade of certificates will be based on rank in examination, on facts stated in (Continued On Page Thirteen.) ONE PER CENT. BILL _ 1 On Which Referendum Has Been Petitioned. Mailer Will be Voted on in September, 1910. Petitions Received Bear 11,640 Signatures. The bill introduced in the upper branch of the last Legislature by Sen ator Milliken of Aroostook and which recived a passage after an effort was made to include cider in the provisions ol the measure will be one of the mat ters which will be put before the peo ple under the referendum. Eleven thousand and six hundred and forty names have been secured to petition, w nich is 1.640 more than is necessary and the matter will he voted on at the next general State election in Septem bt r, 19ln. The signatures to the peti tions were obtained through the efforts of the Maine State bottlers’ Associa ti m of which H. J. Cross of Augusta is the president. L. A. Ingalls of Port land treasurer and E. .1. Torrey of ban gor, secretary. The bill would, if it became a law, place in the same class as lager beer and ale all liquors for the sale of which a federal license is required and is sup posed to hit Uno, lithia, alwantcr, hop to.lie and other beers which contain k ss than three per cent of alcohol al lowed by the Maine statutes. In other words, if this hill should become a law. a person convicted of selling a beer for which he pays a United Stales tax on conviction may be fined and possibly st at to jail. In the petition on the “one per cent’’ beer bill so called every county in the state was represented.

A purse for a 2.13 class will be offered by the trustees of the Maine State fair as one of the race events of that annual exhibition. In addition to these three great horses Isabelle, own ed by Al. B. Smith of Hartford, Conn., ar.d probably others equally as noted will be in the race. There is a great difference of opin-* ion as to which horse could win such a raee as this one proposed. Many select 'Silk Patchen, owned by I. It. Morrill of Brunswick. This great race horse is by Joe Patchen, 2.01(4. dam Split Silks, 2.0SVS, by Bourbon Wilkes. Siik Patchen has always shown a very fast and game race. The breeding of tiiis horse is of the best. El Galo man aged by Frank R. Hayden of this city, lias never yet been beaten in a race. He is by Cliauncey Well, dam Daisy Deane, by Neatwood. Lou Foster, one of the most popular little horses ever raced in the State, is now owned by Frank H. Wiggin of this city. She has always been a fine race mare, and was never in such fine condition as she is this season. She was given very little work during the winter, and is carrying a great deal more flesh titan ever before. She is by Bayard Wilkes, dwm by Glenarm. Isabelle has a rec ord of 2.1214, and has always been a money winner. If these four horses arc brought together at the State fair it will be a great attraction, and one which will call people from miles away. Hath owner will be very desirous that his horse shall win, and the glory of taking the race will be as much con sidered as will the purse. It lias been suggested that each owner shall put in a certain amount in addition to the purse, and the winner take the pot. Cl arles F.

_ r 450,000 Acres of Land lo be Opened July 9 M Will Provide Homes For 100.000 People. Drawing will ba Under Direction of U. S. Goverment. Spokane, Wash., July 2.—(Special).— Four hundred and fifty thousand of the 1,425,000 acres of valley and bench lands contained in the Flathead In dian reservation on the western slope of the Rocky mountains in northern Montana will provide homes for 100, 000 persons following the drawing un der the direction of the United States government at Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, beginning the morning of July 9. These lands have been classified as first and second class agricultural and grazing, and are appraised at. from $1.25 to $7 an acre. Persons desiring to enter under the homestead act must register in person at either Kalispell, Mont., 268 miles east of Spokane, or Missoula, Mont., 257 miles from Spo kane, between July 15 and August 5. This reserve has within its bound aries the south half of Flathead lake, the largest body of fresh water west of I^ke Michigan. The chief fruit products are pears, peaches, apples, cherries, plums and berries, also grain and forage crops in abundance. Irri gation is not necessary. The reserva tion is crossed by numerous mountain streams and is surrounded by a belt of timber, which is not subject to entry. The Reclamation Service is lire paring a system of dams and ditch es, costing $250,000, to irrigate the lands in the northwestern part of the reserve. Homesteaders will be re quired to pay the pro rata share of this improvement, also an annual maintenance fee. The elevation is 2,900 feet. Kalispell, a city of 7,000, is the gate way of the reservation. Three boats ply daily between Kalispell and Poison, a trading point at the south end of Flathead lake, and in the heart of the reservation. The Great Northern, the only line in the valley, is building an extension from Kalispell to the reser vation, and the Chicago, Milwaukee Puget Sound and the Canadian Pacific railways have crews in the field seek ing an entrance into Kalispell. The reservation was established at a treaty made by Isaac I. Stevens, first territorial governor of Washing Ion and ex-officio superintendent of Indian affairs in the territory, and tlie chiefs and headmen of the Flathead, Kootenay and Upper Pend d'Orellie tribes, in what was formerly known as Council Grove, eight miles below Mis soula, now called Grass Valley, on July 14, 1865. It was ratified by the United States senate on March 8, 1859. I ive persons who were present at the treaty are Hazzard Stevens, son of Governor Stevens, living at Boston; W. H. Tappan, a resident of central Massachusetts, Charlois, chief the Flathead tribe, and Francois Eneas and Louis Vandergerg. Eneas was eb assistant interpreter at the council. The three Indians live on the reserva tion. Victor, who has long since joined his forefathers in "the happy hunting ground,” was chief of the Indians at tlie making of the treaty, after which tlie Flatheads, Kootenays and Upper Pend d’Oreillos became known as the Confederated Tribes of the Flathead Nation of Indians. The Indians suf fered hardships and wrongs by reason of non-compliance of the treaty stip ulations and bad faith of the govern ment. Though the treaty was made in the summer of 1855, the first annui ties, consisting of several hundred boxes of army hard tack and bags of rice, did not reach tlie tribe until 1860, more of the supplies being sold to white settlers than were delivered to the nation’s wards. When the flrut treaty was made the tribe, then living in tlie Bitter Root valley, where Its members were happy and contented, were not willing to move bag and tepee to the reservation, and to satisfy chief Victor a clause was Inserted, as folibws: "It is moreover provided that the Bitter Root valley above the Loo Lo fork shall be carefully surveyed and examined and if it shall prove, ,ln the judgment of the president, to be bet ter adapted to the wants of the Flat head tribe than tlie general reserva tion provided for in this treaty, then such portions of it as may be necessary shall be set apart as a separate reser vation for said tribe. No portion yof tiie Bitter Root valley above the Loo Lo fork Bhall be open to settlement until such examination is had and the decision of the president is made known.” Much litigation followed to arrive at tlie correct interpretation of this' tieatv. It was followed by an execu tive order in 1871, finding that the Bitter Root valley was -not better (Continued on Page Thirteen.)
