Kaiser Shown Evidence to Prove That German Museum Was Not Buncoed. Berlin, Nov. 8.—The emperor lias summoned Dr. Bode, curator of the Emperor Frederick Museum to report, on the allegations by English art critics that the wax bust recently pur chased by the curator from an English dealer was the work of Richard Cock le Lucas and not the work of Leon ard! da Vinci. Dr. Bode on behalf of the museum paid an English art deal er *40.000 for the life-sized bust of a woman supposed to have been t lie fifteenth century workmanship of Da Vinci. Since the sale a son of Lucas has offered evidence to prove that the j bust was made by his father in 1846. I The elder Lucas was a sculptor of some prominence in London. Dr. Bode submitted to the emperor the proofs which had satisfied Idm of the gen uineness of the bust as representing the workmanship of Da Vinci. He said the bust had been examined by the test German art critics and the judg ment of those as well as that of the directors of some foreign museums agreed with his own. Among the tests to which tlie bust was subjected was that of boring a hole in the neck. Ac cording to the curator this was almost conclusive, as the busts by Lucas were usually hollow and stuffed with cloth and plaster paris. while this bust proved to be solid. His majesty ap peared to be satisfied that the Govern ment's money had not been wasted. More than ten thousand school children of Chicago are forced by reason of inade quate seating accommodations to cut their attendance to a half day session. THE WAY OUT. Change of Food Brought Success and Happiness. An ambitious but delicate girl, after failing to go through school on account of nervousness and hysteria, found in Grape-Nuts the only thing that seemed to build her up and furnish her the peace of health. “From infancy." she says. "I have not been strong. Being ambitious to learn at any cost I finally got to the High School but soon had to abandon my studies on account of nervous prostration and hysteria. "My food did not agree with me. I grew thin and despondent. I could not enjoy the simplest social affair for I suffered constantly from nervousness In spite of all sorts of medicines. “This wretched condition continued until I was twenty-five, when I be came interested in the letters of those who had cases like mine and who were being cured by eating Grape Nuts. “I had little faith, but procured a box and after tlie first dish I experi enced a peculiar satisfied feeling that I had never gained from any ordinary food. I slept and rested better that night and in a few days began to grow stronger. “I had a new feeling of peace and restfulness. In a few weeks, to my great joy, the headache tind nervous ness left me and life became hrignt and hopeful. I resumed my studies and later taught ten months with oas —of course using Grape-Nuts every day. It is now four years since I be gan to use Grape Nuts, I am the mis tress of a happy home and the old weakness has never returned."

Plays Golf, Opens Fair, Meets “Ty” Gobi) and Makes Speech, Touches on National Sanitation Law and the Ship Subsidy. Augusta, Gii., Nov. 8.—President Tull played at golf today with his host in Augusta, Maj. Joseph It.

M. fo^- Florence, S. C. Jin call upon him at the golf links on his invitation of “Ty" t’obb, tin* baseball player, the extreme cordiality of tlit reception of the President in his “winter capital" and the good fellow ship shown to his entourage were the l\ atures of tile day. In his address at the fair grounds the President touched upon a numbci of matters of national importance. Tin keynote of his address was nationa. sanitation, that a national board of health should accomplish for the na tion what the nation has accomplished for others in Cuba, Panama and other places. This is the first time in the South that tin President has address ed himself to this subject. He also took occasion to talk ship subsidy and to suggest that the legislation merited the support of the South, especially cott >n manufacturing communities like Georgia and South Carolina, li part he said, after declaring that “there is a lady in Washington that 1 am very anxious to see and nothing could restrain the haste with which 1 would go back to the capital city ex cept tin- pleasure of meeting my wifi and her friends in Augusta": "It seems to me that the most Im portant subject and the most import ant collection of subjects is that which relates to the conservation of our nat ural resources.

A single attack of the grip may mean a lifetime of misery if proper precautions are not taken to restore tlie blood and drive out the lingering poisons llmt cause the so-called “after-effects” of the disease. The danger from the grip is seldom over when the characteristic symptoms, the fever, the catarrh, the headache nud the depression of spirits pass away. The grip leaves behind it weakened vital powers, thin blood, impaired digestion and over-sensitive nerves—a condition that makes the system an easy prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism, ner vous prostration, and even consumption Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of strengthening the blood and nerves during convalescence. This tonic, treatment quickly restored Mrs. J. ti. Reid, of No. 253 1-2 Fifth street, Jersey City, N. J., to health. She says: "After an attack of the grip, which confined me to bed for about t lu ce w eeks, I was left in a weak, run-down condi tion. I was short of breath and had palpitation of the heart upon any little exertion. After going up stidrs 1 would have to rest for several minutes. I was subject to splitting headaches and my kidneys were affected. "Tlie doctor’s medicine was very slow in beneliling'' me and I decided to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills as they had cured my daughter of weakness. I was relieved while taking the first box and continued with the pills until cured. I have been in perfect health since and have great faith in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I cheerfully recommend them to myone who is suffering as I did.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are always the •ame and are sold only in packages bear ng the well-known trade-mark, "Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.” Pills sold in any other package, or loose, by the dozen or hundred are not the -ame. whatever the clerk tells you.

The President’s visit to Florence was ilso marked by his introduction to the anions “Pino Bark Stow" of the “Pee lee” section of South Carolina. The President had been looking forward 0 his stew with mingled pleasurable mticipatioa and fear. When it appear 'd as the major course in the Florence banquet tonight, it proved to 1» noth ing more or less than a detectable lish chowder, highly spiced and stewed over a pine bark tire sufficienily long to get the flavor of the bark.

Asks All Sections, Regardless Of Party, lo Assist In Formulating Non-Partisan Sys tem for Entire Country. St. Louis, Nov. 8.—With oven strong er emphasis than he us <1 in his 'hi eago speech, Senator Aldrich made it evident to the business men of St. Louis t slay and tonight that it is his purpose lo devrle himself for th pres ent with single-mindedness to the work <.f teforming the currency system of the t idled States. He spoke briefly today b< fore a limited gathering of bankers at the Noonday Club and mort lengthily tonight before the full mem ber.-hip of the Commercial Club. The day meeting was brought about by a luncheon given by Charles II. Ilr.ttig, president of the Third Nation al Bank of this city, while the basis of the evening meeting was a banquet by the Commercial Club over which Hanford Crawford, its president, pre sided. Senator Aldrich was received by both assemblages with manifestations of sympathetic interest. Senator Al drieh did not use manuscript in his speech tonight, as he did in Chicago. He spoke informally. "I do not come to you with any- plan of monetary reform," he said. "Indeed, if 1 .‘■honid be delegated today, individ ually, to prepare a statement for a new system of finance for the country should be at a loss as to how to pro ied. should lind it necessary to en ter tip. n a careful investigation am would u a undertake to formulate any thing without much more study that 1 have been able to give to this sub ject. Kven in that went 1 should yvanl your advice and. co-operation ant should ask your aid just as I am ask im- ii now for the commission. "I realize as I knew all of you do the absolute necessity of reforming the cur rency. if it is to lie reformed upon the blondest national lines. The work that is to be done cannot be done by any ont man. nor by any set of men; it cannot in- done by any one party, nor in the interest of any one section. It cannot be done by a commission or by Congress without the aid of the country at large. "Our plan must be one which will tak» into consideration the wants of the town and of the country as well as those of tin city. We cannot afford and shall not at tempt, to legislate alone for New York •'i1 New Orleans or San Francisco, but wc must also legislate for St. Louis, Chicago, Denver. Louisville, Atlanta, for Spring field. Peoria and Little Rock. "Our system must be one which will satisfy the people of New Kngland. the agriculturists of the Mississippi valley, too minors of the Rocky mountains and the Pacific coast and the merchants of all sections. Surely the task before us is one of gigantic proportions; and the re sult of our efforts, good or had. must de pend not alone upon our own wisdom, but upon the assembled good judgment of the leading banking and commercial men of the entire nation. "It is because I have come to realize the great magnitude of this work, and Its limitless possibilities, beneficent or other wise. that I come to you at this early stage in our proceedings to tell you not only for yourself, but for the commission insofar as I can, just what we have done, and to ask your co-operation in our future proceedings. “A portion of the commission has visited the principal capitals of Europe and some of our members have trav eled somewhat through the United .States in their investigations. More over, we have had published a num ber of monographs dealing with many phases of tiie hanking question. These have been written by gentlemen who have the confidence of the commission tint who are net members of it. They have been instructed. however, to guard these pamphlets from prejudicial views; and they are intended, not to shape the thought of the country, hut simply to supply information upon which views may be based. "From this time forward the com mission will give its attention largely to conditions in the United States, and we si:all soon begin to call upon men throughout the country in whose judg ment we have confidence to present their views for their benefit. We espe cially desire suggestions from men of practical experience. Enough we have already by way of contribution from cranks and demagogues. “The work upon which* we are en tering is one of the most serious ever undertaken in the country; and it must be the result of practical sugges tion rather than of theoretical disser tation." The nearest approach that Mr. Al drich made to any indication of a plan was bis return to the subject of bank issues. He again mentioned the fact that the European countries were agreed on that subject arid again re ferred to the circumstance that most or ail of these countries have main central banking institutions for the is suance of bank paper. He said, however, that it could not i/.- expected that any European bank ing system could be transplanted in its entirety to this country; and he again pointed out the great necessity of tin ling a plan which would not dis turb established hanks, or interfere with the progress of business. What ever system was adopted, he raid, must he one looking to gradual change, and must have due regard to vested inter ests a ad sectional usage. Again he as sured his heaters of Ids desire to hold the suo’oet entirely above political Has: and he went into some detail to convince his audience that it would he possil le to adopt a system which would accomplish this result. Mr. Aldrich dwelt also upon the necessity l of developing a system of credit which would protect the country against such disastrous results as were" experienced during tile hankers’ panic of 1 !<07. He expressed tile decided opinion that with pr tper safeguards the coun try need not again undergo such a general i rash as was the n n-ccinitated with so little reason in the business conditions of the country'. He v.its confident that with a suffi ciently elastic and a sufficiently rela tive credit system, such conditions as arose previous to that disaster could iie entirely a verted, or so restricted as to affect only a few plungers and tin ir immediate associates." Ke spoke ot the commanding position of St. Eon is as a gateway to the South west. and expressed the conviction that the business men of St. Louis could be of great assistance to the commission. QPINIONJHANGES And Public Feeling Swings To Mme. Steinheil. No Direct Evidence Produced Of Her Gommilling Murder. Monday’s Testimony Ail Said to Be Decidedly in Her Favor. Paris, Nov. S.—With the opening to day of tiie second week of the trial of Madam Margherita Steinheil. who is teevsed of murdering her husband, Adolphe Steinheil and her stepmother, Madame Japy, public interest in the remarkable case is higher titan ever. No direct evidence implicating the prisoner with the crime lias yet been adduced, while the conflicting stories told by the witnesses and the brave front of the accused is turning sympa thy in Iter favor. Madame Steinheil professes to have the greatest confi donce in her acquittal. Frederick H. Rurlingham, the Amer ican newspaper man. who was arrested on suspicion at the time of the mur der.-, created a llurrvpn being called to the stand on announcing "I am the man who lias just escaped the guillo tine. After explaining the facts estab lishing liis alibi, Mr. Rurlingham pro tested vigorously against the manner in which lie was dragged into the case, and i specially against the language of his indictment, which he regarded as defamatory. Both M. Aufcin and the prosecuting judge expressed regret that he had been falsely accused. The detective who escorted Madame Steinheil when sin- secretly viewed Rurlingham and identified hint as one of the assassins testified that he was so greatly impressed with the prison er's sincerity that he would not have believed it if she had confessed that site was guilty. Ho then created a sen sation in the court by Shouting vehem ently: “I say" that because it is my' pro found conviction. It is the cry of my conscience.” The remaining witnesses developed nothing new. Today’s proceedings are considered a distinct victory lor the defendant, as no direct evidence im plicating the accused was produced. On the contrary several of the stale’s witnesses testified in her favor. Madame Steinheil at the adjournment of the trial for the day wore a look of contentment as she warmly shook the hand of her lawyer. Unimpeachable. If you were to see the unequalled volume of unimpeachable testimony In favor of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, you would upbraid yourself for so long delaying to take this effective altera tive and tonic medicine for that blood disease from which you are suffering.

After Various Experiences He Disappears from Town. And the Cotton Mill Project Seems To Have Fallen Through. The man who secured a lease on the cotton min under the pretense of opening' up the plant and running it under the firm name of “The New England Manufacturing Co,” for the manufacture of gloves, overalls and otiu r articles in cotton goods, turns out to lie a man of mystery, with many I aliases. Suspicions had been aroused in tin minds of some beloro, but when an article appeared Friday evening, with a picture accompanying, in a Portland paper telling of the escapades of on "\V. It. Reed,” or W. B. Jordan,” who had been operating around Port land, Sanford, Me., and Providence, It. 1., it appeared that Ilallowell’s pro moter who signed himself “Henry Read,” was the same man. When con fronted with the picture he stoutly denied that it was liis, or that he had ever been to Sanford, or that he had ever had a picture taken. Communication was at once gotten into with the president of the Board of Trade at Sanford, with parties in Portland and even as far south as Nor folk. Va.. from which latter place the man said lie had come, having sold out a similar enterprise in the Virgin ia city for the purpose of sicking a larger field. From all these i&quirios unfavorable answers were received. Saturday afternoon he was placed under urn st for having contracted a debt which he seemed to he endeavor ing to elude payment after the peoplt had gotten on to his alleged unrelia bility. After a short while lie was re leased through sympathy and without positive proof as to the man’s identi ty. Reed was kindly eared for by per son., who wanted to befriend him and give him a chance to vindicate him sell if he could, he promising to have proper persons to vouch for him by 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Vesterday morning a gentleman who gave bis name as “Taylor,” where abouts unknown, came to this city and sft. G. C. Sewing Circle will meet with Mr.“.

Mission Closes. The renewal of the mission for the French speaking people of the Sacred Heart church, came to a close Sunday evening. The mission has been a pro* nounced success and the eloquent mis sion Father Dallias has been instru mental in changing the lives of many who have grown careless or wayward. When during the closing sermon he brought his hearers to continue In the paths of righteousness and hold fast to the principles of honor and integrity, which would make them an honor to their religion, many were moved to tears. It was a beautiful and inspiring sight to see the large congregation re new their baptisimal vows and the ser vices closed with the Papal benediction and benediction of the Most Blessad Sacrement, each of the congregation resolving in their hearts tq.lead twtr ter and purer lives.

Brunswick, Mo., Nov. 8.—(Special).— The trials for the cross country team which will run Tufts Nov. lit. the day before the football game with Tufts at Brunswick, will be held next Thursday afternoon, Nov. 11. The men who are out for the team put in some hard work today and for the rest of the time remaining to the trials long runs will be the rule. This afternoon the squad ran on the track on Whittier Athletic field under the watchful eye of Coach Morrill, who gave each man points as he needed them. Captain Colbath and "General” Slo cum are showing up in a way that is making followers of the squad take no tice. Of course they have the advan tage of four-years track training and two years training for cross country and have be^n in two cross country races, one here in Brunswick in 1907 and one at Medford in 1908. They art' taking long runs daily from five to 10 miles and go about six on an average. In spite of these long runs when they strike the track on Whittier field, where the finish is to be with one lap, they set a pace that is almost a hun dred-yard dash clip. They are looked upon to be the first two men in the race with Tufts. Tiie other men out are showing up well and with less experience and coaching are doing very well to keep the pace set by Colbath and Slocum. The other men out are Cary TO. alter nate on last year's cross country team; Howe 'll, Hawes TO, Martin TO. Curtis 11, nine 'll. Cole T2 and Auten T2. All are showing up well and it will be a close race in which the three other members of the team and the alter nate are picked. The course this year will start on Whittier field with one lap around the track, across the campus to McKeen street, across to Pleasant street, through the cemetery. across the creek and up Standpipe hill. front there the course eircles across the fields oy the golf links, back to Pleasant street and back to the Athletic field by the same course, finishing with one ,ap around the track. This is longer than the course of two years ago In asmuch as there are two laps around the track and the distance from the field to McKeen street in addition. In spite of the drizzling rain that fell Monday afternoon the Bowdoin football squad was out for practice with Coach MoClave. No hard work was done hut consistent practice was the rule. The men are all feeling fine after the hard game of Saturday and not a man is laid up so as not to be able to go out for practice. The game with Bates gave the coaches an opportunity to gain point ers as to where tin* team can be pol :shed off a little and advantage will be taken to do this during the coming weeks work. Punting and catching and running back punts was the pro gram for the most part today and no scrimmage was held. BOWDOIN VERSUS MAINE.

Although Yale field seats only 113,000, the Yale management has had appli cations for more than 35,000 seats without considering the legitimate re quests that came in late.

Policy General Throughout Country And Results Satisfactory. Washington. Nov. 8.—Systematic training of tin* youth in foreign lan guage's. in the opinion of Thomas II. Norton, l’nit♦ 1 States consul at Chem nitz, is responsible for the rapid move ments of Germany in capturing the foreign markets of the world. This plan, the American representative re ports, is being adopted with increas ing enthusiasm and success in the prin cipal industrial and commercial cen ters of the empire. Provision for the teaching of English and French is made in those public schools that corres pond with the Grammar and High schools of this country and the number of students taking the course is rapid ly growing each year. The effect of this knowledge of foreign languages, it is pointed out, in gaining and holding foreign trade is incalculable. Mercantile asoeiations of Germany are independently organizing courses in the various languages for the benefit of their clerks. In Chemnitz, the consul de clares. it is regarded as absolutely nec essary that every young man enter ing tin* counting room of factory, bank or large commercial house, shall have command of one or two languages other than his own native tongue. The same policy is pursued now in the leading business cities throughout Germany. ISAIAH H. SIMPSON. Long Supt. of Bowdoin College Grounds Dies of Pneumonia. Brunswick, Mo., Nov.

President Eliot Points Out Dangers of Monopoly. Wise Development Impossible Under Present Lows. As Head of Conservation Associa tion He Appeals to Americans. New York, Nov. S.—Chas. W. Elliot as president of the National Conservation Association today authorized a statement on the dangers of monopolistic control of th«* sources of power in this country, which is declared to he urgent. The statement is in the form of an appeal to the American people ami deals particu larly with the much-discussed question of the coal fields of Alaska and sheds new light on that situation. The state ment is as follows: “The National Conservation Associa tion is convinced of the urgent need of immediate me asures to prevent the con trol of tin* great sources of heat and me chanical power in the United States from being seized by monopolistic organiza tions and secure the best developement of the sources in the interest of the people. These sources are waterfalls and coal. Under the existing laws, the wisest de velopements is practically impossible. The following statement describes the situation with respect to coal lands: “the present coal land law attempts to pre vent coal monopoly by requiring small entries by claimants who intend to de velop the mines for their own benefit. Hut the law fails of its object, and in other respects does not protect the pub lie interest. Since, however, the exist ing law, inadequate though St is, affords the only protection which the public now have, its provisions should be rigorously enforced.’ “The coal lands in the possession of the United States arc being rapidly ab sorbed under the present inadequate law. The great fields «»f Alaska, estimated to contain 15,000,000,000 tons, still remain the heritage of the people. Hut bad as is the general coal lands law of the United States that of Alaska is even worse, for there the government is abso lutely limited to a charge of $10 an aero, which according to a public statement by tin* director of the United States geolog ical survey, is loss than one-tenth of the real value of thes coal lands. "There are already about 000 entries in the Alaska coal tield. It is true that the tield was recently withdrawn from entry, but the legality of the withdrawal has been ouestinned. Even if tlie 000 existing elaims now coming to trial should be declared fraudulent, new claimants may file on these lands under llie original provisions of the existing law without restriction against monop oly and waste, and without other neces sary provisions. "We have urged the present adminis tration to postpone, for the common good, the trial of these claims, and we have no doubt, in view of the facts and the policy of the administration as de clared by President Taft, in his speech at Spokane, Wash., on Sept. 28th, that our reipiest. will |,C granted. "There is a limit, however, beyond which such a delay cannot go. Should Congress fait to act at the coming ses sion, it is possible that the opportunity to obtain adequate legislation for the coal lands still in the possession of the United States will be lost. “The situation with respect to water power developement is substantially similar to that with respect to coal. “Wo therefore appeal to the American people to bring the urgent needs of the situation to the attention of their rep resentatives in Congress.” The special board of survey ordered to examine the ^g,iH»O,O0O criminal building in New York City which was recently condemned and vacated, -Monday declared that after temporary repairs tire made, its occupants may take up their duties again inside its walls and remain there unmolested waile the structure is under observation for a year. At the end of that time it will be necessary to oust the ten ants again while new foundations are put In place. i The Markets. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Features of the Day’s Dealings in All The Leading Stocks. Now York, Nov. X. The initial upward linpotus to .stocks today carno from pro fessional buying to cover short contracts and was based on the decision of tin* Im perial hank of Germany to leave its min imum discount rate* unchanged. On Sat tiay there had been reports that the rate would he raised today and would compel the Hank of Knglaud to take similar ac tion Thursday. With the satisfaction of the demand from uncovered shorts the stock market fell into sluggish neglect, restrained apparently by the remaining uncertainty over tin* international money situation. The closing was easy. The weekly return of the Imperial hank of Germany, while showing an improvement in condition, went hut a short way tow ards making up the deterioration of the previous week in connection with tin* No vember settlements. The influence of the cotton speculation upon the international exchanges b.*eame perceptible today in connection with tin* violent slump in the prices of cotton. Ga ble remittances by foreigners to r*pl*n ish margins on cotton holdings caused a decline of several points in cables on London while other maturities were un affected yet. The published outline of some of the subjects to be treated in the President’s message to Congress recalled attention to the approach of the assem bling of that body and the regulative measures that, may be directed against corporations by the legislation of tin- ses sion. A notably strong feature of the day’s market was Amalgamated Copper. The influence back of this movement was the peristanco of rumors published abroad and from domestic sources of the progress towards a working agreement of the vari ous important interests amongst the cop per producers. A lull in the sales of pig iron since the first of November was an other item of the day’s news which may have aggravated the selling pressure on Cnited States Steel. The lat rise in call loans to five per cent, also was against the market.

J„ Nov. 8.—Tatem Par sons. tile first engineer of the famous locomotive “John Bull,” died recently. He was ninety years old. Besides hav ing been the first man to handle the throttle of the famous engine now in the National Museum at Washington, Mr. Parsons was probably the oldest locomotive engineer in this country. His name always will be linked with the “John Bull,” for which he had a iiking that caused him to visit the Na tional Museum periodically. The at tendants there knew him well and he always was permitted to climb over the old locomotive. He would examine her machinery as closely as he did when she was the wonder of the coun ery in 1831.

Address all communications relating to subscriptions and advertisements to BURLEIGH FLYNT, Publish ers. Augusta, Maine. Tuesday, November 9, 1909. The noble but strenuous game of football has no terrors for the man whose sons are all daughters. Wliat a title for a book, "It can Nev er Happen Again!” Ask Willie Hearst. Mr. Croker cannot resist the tempta tion to take an occasional look at where lie got it. William Randolph Hearst says that he is glad he was defeated. So is the r«*st of tho country. The prophets are busy picking tin new justice of the United .States Su preme Court. Hearst will someday get used to run ning for exercise and pulling out with nothing but the exercise. Hoston does not lack for patriots who are willing to serve as mayor four years with the worry and expense of but one campaign to attain it. It lias been discovered that prehistor ic man passed his summers in Maine. It shows that the men of that day had u lot of good st use. Lb titermni I.ahhi will find it dull work hiking round the country astride of a horse after several weeks of wing ing through the air. The dirt is still flying on the Isth mus 'if Panama; but just at present there appears to be a lull in the ac tivities of the magazine muck rakers. Hy the time cook’s "proofs” get back to America the chanties are that the general public will have forgotten all about him. Turkey is about to sell half its navy to the junk dialers who are liable to be titrated at that if they don’t look out. Inasmuch as we buy a good deal mere from France than she buys of us it docs not look as if the United States would get the short end of a tariff war. The defeat of Francis J Honey indi cates that It is anti-graft crusade is not as popular with .he people of that city as it is with the people of the rest of the country. Those men and women who keep pre dicting that the day of tile universal brotherhood of man is rapidly drawing near, must stay in the woods or on the high seas during the political cam paigns. Those newspapers who paid good money for Dr. Cook's "story” and in tlieted it upon their readers are still making some feeble efforts to defend him. Elsewhere lie appears to be pretty thoroughly discredited. A man in central New York, who answers to the name of Scripture, was defeated in the elections. That demon strates conclusively that central New ■N ork needs Gipsy Smith or some other strenuous t xjionent of Biblical truth. It would he Interesting to learn from Queen Alexandria of England whether she really truly believes in that fake photograph of the "crest of Mount McKinley” taken some fourteen miles below the summit. Perhaps some of these mediums will Ftn’cced in making J. I’ierpont Mor gan's ghost talk after he is dead. It Is certain that they cannot make him talk when he is alive any more than can the New York reporters. It is evident that England will soon adopt the policy of protection. Her people have suffered the evils that fol low in the wake of free trade just about as long as they can endure them. The deposed president of Nieauragua. claims that his troops have won two victories over the insurgents. It might be well to consider the reports along with Spanish reports of victories over the Moors. They are doubtless in the same class. A Mexican editor criticises President Taft because he wore a melted collar when he met President Diaz. The critic in question was probably un aware of the fact that, in the matter of collars, American Presidents have never made a practice of wearing the rubber variety. Two Ohio brothers fought in the same company through the Civil war and have been drawing pensions ever since, one on account of sun-stroke and the other on account of frozen feet. The death of cne of the pair disclosed the fact that they both claimed to have suffered the injury which entitled them to pensions the same day. The man that con get away with that sort of a panic, is entitled to the money. I “Now Boost Maine.” The Board of Trade Journal for October 1ms an editorial entitled "Now Boost Maine,” that every man in Maine ought to read. Maine people should boost Maine. They have, more on which to base their enthusiasm than tne residents of any other state in this Union, but if Maine people don’t boost Maine, no one else will. The Board of Trade Journal cites the won derful spirit of loyalty which domi nates the people of Seattle, and says: "Let us get the Seattle habit in Marne. Let us at least enthuse as much as do our visitors. They marvel at our wonderful water powers, ideal harbors, our quar ries and lakes and forest and won der at their lack of development. “What would be the result to our undeveloped resources should all our rising seven hundred thou sand people become imbued with the Seattle slogan, and everlasting IV lei IK uwmmiui autcvu tages not only as a most desirable residential State, but a place where Stood American dollars are await ing the harvester. “We know it would solve the abandoned farm problem, and add hundreds of thousands to our pres ent population. New Knglatld is at last cognizant of tlie fact that she has got to do some trumpet blow ing to keep pace with other sec tions of the country and Maine must do her part. The Maine State Board will take the lead in this movement, and must lay her lines accordingly.” The people who believe the State of Maine is worth shouting about must make noise enough to be heard above the croakers who do not hesitate to say that they must go West, or North, or South, to make a fortune. These croakers have monopolized the adver tising of Maine long enough, and it is time Cor the people who believe that Maine really is a place worth living in, to take' a hand and prove that Maine is in reality a young man's State, opportunity is written large in every Maine town and city, *Tr devote his time to any pri vate lau practice ho may have left after having devoted several years te> prosecuting grafters. If he has any private practice left lie is more fortu nate than most attorneys who serve the public any length of time, and give as strict attention to his public duties as has Mr. Heney. Why has San Francisco defeated such a man as Heney'. The answer is not easy. He has been honest, fearless and unremitting in the performance of his duty. One reason is that San Francisco became tired of being good and could no longer resist the tempta tion to have another lling. Another explanation is that the continual de nunciation, muckraking, bitterness and recrimination incident to a long drawn-out campaign against evil in high places as well as low, finally palled on tlie people and they deter mined to have a rest. The criminal elements of San Fran cisco combined to defeat Heney. He lias been their arch enemy and lie was a known quality to them. His succes sor could do no more to interfere with their activities and is more than likely to he unable to do as much. Therefore the opposition to Heney easi ly united to defeat him. But all the criminals in San Francisco and all their friends, could not muster votes enough to defeat the strenuous prosecutor. The votes of many thousands of de eent, law-abiding and law-respecting men were necessary. That the Heney opposition got them is proven by the returns. Honey's defeat is cause for regret throughout the country. He under took the task of purging San Francisco of graft and the job was so hig that the people tired of the work before it was finished. It may be that a couple of years under tile old regime will so anger the honest men ttiat they will rise in their might and sweep the gratters out of power again. Perhaps it is not fair to judge those who de feated Heney at this time, blit one is very prone to do so because Heney stood fot prosecution of dishonesty and his opponent stood for making San Francisco "tlu* Paris of America." ithin a very few months the world will know whether the defeat of Heney was also the defeat of law and order. An Unfair Test. One of the significant incidents of the recent elections was the defeat of the Democratic attempt to disfran chise the negroes of Maryland. Such wholesale disfranchisement would have guaranteed Maryland to the Democratic party for a long period of years, or until the people became so incensed with misrule that they over came the Democratic office holders and took the reins themselves. The dis franchisement amendment looked in nocent enough on its face, but a prac tical test of its workings, not among the negroes, but among college stu dents not yet old enough to have for gotten their school lessons, showed it to be most unfair. The test was made at no less an in stitution than Brown University and before the one class where one would most expect correct answers, that in history. The students were asked to give the full name of the man who is now president of the United States, tlie name of one Justice of the United States Supreme Court, the name of one of the justices of the Rhode Island Supreme Judicial court, the name of the governor of Rhode Island and Unit of the mayor of the city of providence. Not one of those young men answered all of the questions correctly. Only IS knew President Taft’s full name. Not one could give the full name of a justice ot the United States Supreme court. The questions relating to Rhode Island were better answered, hut few students were able to answer those correctly. Why? Because the students are so busy getting an edu cation that the majority of them do not closely follow current events. The great majority of business men in Maine could not answer a similar set of questions regarding Maine. U is not because they are ignorant. It in because their attention is given to other things. The same is true of the negroes of Maryland. Some of them are ignorant. Some are not. Any test that guarantees to the negro an op portunity to attempt to pass an ex amination which would not debar the majority of white voters wherever found, would not be resented, but it is obvious that such a test, if applied in tlie North, would debar the major ity of the electorate from enjoying the privilege of the ballot. A reasonable educational test is perfectly proper1 and should be rigidly adhered to but an unfair test such as file Maryland Democrats sought to have accepted, is worse than none. The campaign for it resulted in the defeat of the party and taught the schemers a lesson. LIGHT AND AIRY. What? "No, Jagway, I’ll nut go out and drink with you. You ought to 1 nit the habit, anyhow."

It be gins like this: first, catch him!’”— Clcvelanad Plain Dealer. A Wholesaler. “Now let me ti ll you about my other troubles.” “My frieml. you ought not to waste time trying to toll people about your troubles.” "What do you mean?” “You ought to issue a catalogue.” Kansas City Journal. Poor Fellow. “Why do you call him a lobster?” "Heeause he is so green and because ho turns red every time his wife roasts him." Houston Post. SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY. No one is ever satisfied with the "table” at a hoarding house. The bravest man in the world does not dare say he dislikes (lowers. A small oversight l>y your neighbor seems like a great crime to you. You can't have your own way, but per haps your own way wouldn't ho any bet ter. The neighbors are mad at a woman about half the time because she doesn’t beat her children more. No matter how clever or how good a manager a woman may be, the cleverest of them never took a dress to a dress maker and planned to have it cost *40 and got It home without its costing at least *60. When a person buys an expensive pres ent for a bride he is sure to send it to her early. If a cheap present is given it is sent near the last, when quantities of presents are arriving, and the recipient is so excited she hardly notices.—Atchison (Kan.) Globe. They were country people pure and simple, but they had read the home papers and thought they were edu cated up to all the. improvements of the day, says Harper's magazine. When they visited Washington, D. C.. they went through the navy depart ment and saw the models of some of the new battleships. Pointing to a companion ladder 4 hanging over the side of one of the ships, she asked her better half what it was. “Oh,” he replied, “that’s the fire-escape.” 1 Maine Gossip Off Ag'in, on Ag’in, Gone Ag'in.

Several sharp Hashes of lightning were seen miring; a rain storm at Moul ton last week. William Randall of Harpswell has experimented in raising; peanuts in liis garden ;tnd altiiougli ids crop was not a large one he succeeded in getting some pretty good ones. These are said to be the lirst peanuts ever raised by farmers in Harpswell. Joseph Ouellette of New Auburn who gathered bis garden a few days ago, lias a cabbage that tips tin- scales at 3S pounds and a turnip that weighs It! pounds. Some possum, the little Southern animals which have been made lamous by President Taft and which have put the Teddy bears to (light, arc on exhibition in the windows of a Bowls ton merchant. They attract much at tention. The livli screen at the foot of High land Lake, in the town of Bridgton, which was put in by popular subscrip tion at an expense of something like *r.O, has been removed by the mill au thorities, presumably on the ground that by catching the boating sticks and leaves it retarded tile How of water. Manager Goodrich of the Sebago Bake, Bongo River Route is again agi tating his street railway scheme from the steamboat landing at Bridgton to the bead of Main Hill, a distance of something like a mile and a half. Tin plan is being worked up with the idea that Bridgton put a thousand dollars or so into a stock company', estimated at something like a third of the cost of building the road. I'rhan. the twelve-year-obl son of Bert 'anlu ll of Naples, holds the rec ord for the crack shot of Naples. The young fellov sighted a wild goose in tie water on one of the lakes and with Ills rith- shot the head cleanly off the bird. Tile goose when dressed tipped the scales at nearly eight pounds. The present prospect is that there will be two ice tracks for the accom modation of the speeders of Bangor this winter, the lirst, the old one, on the river above the dam, where so many good races were held last winter, and tin- otliei on the waterway at the Black farm, fornurly known as the Boardman farm, near the Niben club track. The latter is thought to be the best course for the purpose and it is estimated that $200 will put it in condi tion. Jt is probcibl" that there will be no racing to sneak of on the Mt. Hope course this year. Kphriarn I-’. Wood of Norway was S3 years old last .May-, but he hasn’t stopped work just the same. He has gathered thirty bushels of sweet corn, cut up the stalks and shocked the fodder. He has dug lf.O bushels of po tatoes, picking up 7o bushels of them himself. He lias pulled and stacked beans to the extent of nine big shocks. He has picked some apples too, forty three barrels for John A. Roberts, six barrels for Benjamin Tnc-ker and eight barrels for Cora Wood, in picking apples he used an eight foot ladder and picked them witii great care and in good shape. This does not include the work ho has done at home during- this time. He lives with his son, John Wood, at the Bake, and cares for the garden and does the chores about the house. The Maine Woods recently printed the following paragraph: 'I'li- 12’ j-pound brook trout that was taken for stripping at Upper Dam. Kangeley Bakes, this fall (the heaviest spotted trout that was ever weighed) was a male iisli with an enormous hooked under jaw. He was 2S inches long, inches deep, as measured by Avery Rowell. Tin- Woods lias since received sev eral inquiries as to the truth of the statement. It is rather mean to de mand proof where fish are concerned. Cap!. Little, v. S. N., at Bath, has an interesting lieDloom in the form of a picture of Fitch’s two steamboats, one propelled by paddles, the other by a screw propeller, both of which antl datod by four or live years, Robert Fulton's Clermont. On board the pro peller, in the picture, are chancellor Livingston, Robert Fulton, .Mr. Fitch, the inventor, and a boy named Hum phreys. This boat had wooden cylin ders on its engines and was obliged frequently to stop to get up steam. The •’leriuont’s engine was built in ling land. Portland's importance as a shipping port was emphasized one day last week when three handsome six-masted schooners came into the harbor at the same time. This is a most unusual sight. Nearly 20,000 tons of coal were brought in by two schooners arriving including the six-masters Addie M. Lawrence, Alice M. Lawrence and the Eleanor A. Percy. The five master Fanny Palmer also came in with a car go from Newport News. Those who know Arne Arnesen, of Deer Island, know him to be a man of truth. Not long since he was fishing for trout in Utopia lake, St. George, with two other Deer Island men. Nei ther of the others got a bite, but a big fish rose to Arnesen’s bait and succeed ed in breaking the line and getting away. His companions reeled up their lines in disgust and wanted to go home at once. There were r.o more fish after that, they said. He persuaded one of them to lend him his line for one more cast. The cast was made and once more a trout took hold. When it rose to the surface it was found to be the trout with Arncson's nook and line at tached. The fish landed, Arnesen re turned the borrowed line to his com panion, made his own fast again, and was ready for more fish but they didn’t come.—Beacon. GLEANINGS AND GOSSIP.

Austria is the country most lenient :o murderods. A very small percent. ige of those convicted are executed. No one can set up a wireless tele graph instrument in England now without a permit from the post-office iepartment. it is said that about 4,000,000 um brellas are used in London each year uni that a large share of them are nude outside of England.

Th> Buffalo Express says that there is j Uood job open for some skilful golf player. A New Jersey man says that the winter will be hard because there is a shortage of the chestnut crop. lie should go to a vaudevillle show and become an optimist. Now a southern bishop lias come out strong against Rockefeller’s gilt of $1,000,000 to put an end to the hook worm. Probably thinks "tainted money" would not harm the worms. A yacht lias a hard time of it in the way of names when she eliang s owners. One of the big ones started life as the Isolde, next she was listed is the Duffer and now she hears the proud title of Poodle. The largest room in the world under one roof and unbroken by pillars is in S'. Petersburg, it is B20 feet long by lull wide.

Last year I lie Red Cross society m tied $I4U.iiiii» from its Christmas stamps, and this year is planning t i again issue them ill aid of its tuber culosis fund. It should become the custom for a Red Cross stamp to ap pear on every Christinas present. No object is more worthy. If that Springfield bunch of amateur balloonists really want to do some thing for tie ir country, they could volunteer to go up in the balloons at which soldiers are to shoot from the Sandy Hook proving grounds.—Buffalo Express, or any other old balloon, for that matter. Capt. Charles E. Shiliaber, who is building a canal from Tampico to Tuxpan for the Mexican government, is 7u years old. He was a sailor in his younger days and his great-grand father was on the Ron Homme Richard with John Paul Jones when lie fought the Serapis. When the late Gen. Edward M. Mc Cook lived in Pike's Peak he once presided at a dinner in honor of a famous Indian fighter, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Mr. McCook, as lie then was, consiuded his intro duction of the Indian fighter with tb words: "I can find but one fault with the colonel's methods. I allude to his well-known custom of enlisting in his regiment only bald-headed men. To aggravate the Indians' feelings so cruelly as that is carrying war too far Lombroso in his article on "The soul of the North American millionaire," published recently in Lettara. after describing the physiognomy of th& American men of great wealth, said that only a few of them had the characteristics whliieh are usually the accompaniment of genius. He added tlia't they were small of stature and that in some casess the American millionaire was found to be "inches shorter than his wife” As to the children, the criminologist pronounced them ''generally weak in body and si ul." attributing this deficiency not to degeneracy so much as to "forced isolation." It is reported from France that it is proposed to manufacture fuel from peat under a new patented process in the peaty district on the borders of the Cliarente Infericure and Deux departments. The fuel produced'experimentally is said to be of good quality. An expert in mechanics who comes in frequent contact with inventors says that there are not fewer than four hundred men in New York city experimenting with Hying machines, and that while most of them are working on impossible projects, some of them are likely to develop valua ble ideas. There is a large demand in Germany for American apples, and it can be increased by intelligent effort on the part of Ameri can packers and shippers. There is also a considerable demand in Denmark, Nor way and Sweden, now satisfied by the Wholesale importers at Hamburg, where practically the whole of the business is centered. One of the biggest flag factories in the world is in the Brooklyn navy yard, lie tween eighty and one hundred women work there all the year round making flags for tlie use of Lncle Sam's fighting ships. They use up 120,000 yards of bunt ing a year and fashion 41S different kinds of official flags. The flags cost $90,00u a year. Knife operations on the stomach have given a death rate of from 1 to 20 per cent, against 20 to 4(1 per cent ten years ago. Cutting open the upper abdomen, splitting the stomach open and turning it wrong outside out, searching for cancers and ulcers, has become a not uncommon operation, often followed by great cures and benefits, and is largely an American specialty.—New York Press. A wide-awake butcher with a shop in one of the downtown markets has hit upon a novel idea, lie has opened a branch in the pathway of many thou sands of commuters and has announced that the suburbanite may pick out nis joint of fowl when he enters town in the morning and take it home with him at night cooked to his or the queen’s taste.— New York Sun. A barbar in the Bronx who hails from Italy has a sign painted on his window “Barbitonsorial Parlor.” In the Bronx also is a woman who is not yet awake to the fact that it is summer and thinks it necessary to state on a board outside her residence, “Furnished Rooms to Let, Heated.” And on a hotel by a Bronx road is the announcement, “Automobile and Funeral Parties Cheerfully accom modated.”—New York Sun.

BLADDER MISERY Vanishes After Taking Just a Few Doses. Oul-cf-Order Kidneys Will Acl Fine, Ending Headache. Most Severe Bladder and Urinary Trouble Cured Forever. Out-of-order kidneys act fine and backache or bladder misery is relieved after a few doses of Pape's Diuretic.
