Funeral of Ocey Snead Attended Only by Mother-More Complications in Case -Evidence in the Harmon Trial Will Be All in Today. THE SNEAD CASE. New York, Dee. 8.—The remains of the late Oeey Snead was buried today, but an uncompromising- inquiry into the manner of her death goes on un abated at East Orange, N. J., where Virginia Wardlaw, the spinster aunt, is held a prisoner pending an investiga tion by the grand jury. “Sentiment aside,” said the chief of police today, “there remains the brute facta in this case, and nothing in ex planation of them has been offered. We have a girl found dead in 12 inches of water in a bath tub. on the one hand, and on the other, the woman who last saw her. alive but failed to report her death until 24 hours after it must have been discovered. “These facts alone are sufficient in themselves to warrant their presenta tion to the grand jury, even if there were no tangle of insurance to unravel, no duplication of wills and no attempt ed purchase of choloroform to “kill cats.” Mayor Caldwell issued on order this afti rnoon that Mrs. Caroline Martin, mother of Mrs. Oeey Snead, be arrest ed if found in New Jersey. Mrs. Mar tin, however, lias shown no desire to visit New Jersey. The only representative of the fant (Continued on I’uge Two.) THE HARMON CASE. Boston, Dec. 8.—The advent of Dr. Edward H. Dane, an alienist, on the stand at the opening of today’s session, marked the beginning of the end of the trial of James M. Harmon, Jr., for the murder of his sweetheart, Maud H. Hartley. It was expected that the de fence would rest its case during (he day, that the rebuttal testimony on both sides, would occupy tomorrow's session and that the case would reach the jury late Friday or early Saturday morning. Dr. Dane stated that in his opinion, Harmon was insane when he shot the girl. He based his belief on the testi mony of Harmon having had a con vulsion the day before the shooing and of many contributing incidents during his past life. He admitted under cross-examination that Harmon might have boon in a state bordering on nightmare at tlie time of the shooting. The defence rested its case at noon after 7~, witnesses had testified. The government immediately began its rebuttal with the introduction of a witness who had sought to employ young Harmon as an elevator boy. His father would not allow the son to ac (Cor.tinued On Page Two.) King Leopold of Belgium Is Said to Be Critically 111. Brussels. D<‘C. S.—Though otlifial ret icence concerning the exact state of King Leopold's health is maintained, information from private sources today is to the effect that his condition is most grave and causing the utmost anxiety. It is reported that his rheu matism is extending and has been complicated by paralysis, of which lie has experienced two strokes as well as with pulmonary trouble. His Majesty is unable to rise from his chair and moves only when car ried by his valets. For years he has undergone systematic electrical treat ment at the hands of Paris specialists. He was determined to return to Paris last week Ir, order that these treat ments might be resumed but the phy sician of the royal household refused to permit the journey. Late in the day official denial was made of the report that King Leopold was seriously ill and it was also state.] that he was suffering neither l'rom an apoplectic stroke nor pulmary trouble. The oUicial announcement concludes: “The King is afflicted with muscular rheumatism, which is exceedingly pain ful hut today he was able to walk about his apartments.” London, Doc. 8.—Private advices re ceived here today from Brussels state that King Leopold of Belgium is in a grave physical condition. He is said to have suffered a paralytic stroke last Friday and a second stroke on Mon lay. These were followed by pulmon ary trouble. Paris, Dec. S.—Private advices from Brussels say that King Leopold is slightly improved. His entire right side was paralyzed yesterday, but to day he was able to sign documents. He still suffers greatly from rheumatism. ALLEGES; ABUSE. Mrs. W. S. Brokawa Ac cuses Husband of Cruelly, i Asks Court to Free Her from Irksome Marital Tie. The Millionaire Yachtsman Calls Names, Is Jealous and Drinks, j New York. Dee. S.—“Liar!" with qualifications of varying- intensity, was one of the mildest epithets W. Gould Brokawa, the millionaire yachtsman, was accustomed to apply to his wife, according- to her testimony in court to day. Mrs. Brokawa, who was Mary Balir, is suing her husband for separa tion and alimony of SG0.000 a year on grounds of alleged cruelty and abusive treatment and failure to provide for her support. The Brokawas were mar. ried in 190G. "We will show,” said her counsel, In addressing the court today, “that abuse of the bride began two hours after the marriage ceremony. Brokawa was mad ly jealous for no reason. He often forced his wife to eat alone and to keep to her room for the entire day.j During the honeymoon they ate only four meals together. He broke into her room at all hours, and on one occa sion, when the door was slammed in his face, smeared red ink on his forehead and ran around the hallway in his pajamas, crying and complaining to the hall boys. He was habitually intoxi cated and frequently used abusive lan guage." Before court adjourned Mrs. Broka wa’s attorney announced that he would show how in February, 190S, Mrs. Brokawa attempted suicide in her hus band’s shooting jodge at Fairview, N. C., after a quarrel because of Mr. Brokawa’s treatment. (Continued on Page Two.) ROUGH ON COOK! Two oi His Trusted Men Now Tell the Truth. Promised $4000 lo Help Him Make His Polar Records.

M. Refuses Men’s Request-Tin Strike Grows. New York, Dec. 8.—Demands for in creases in wages formulated for pre sentation to the railroads will call in some cases for a raise of 100 per cent. Vice President James Murdock of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen de clared today. The demands, he stated, would not be presented until after Jan. 1, and only then if ratified by vote of the em ployes. Mr. Murdock was reported to be here for a conference with officials of other organizations of railroad men, but de nied that he was here for that pur pose'. “A vote is being taken on the de mands,” said Mr. Murdock, “and is ex pected to be completed on Dec. 15. This proposition was prepared at the meet ing of the general committees last Oc tober. “Some of the Eastern roads arc pay ing their men, some of them, at least, 50 per cent, less than is being paid by the Western roads. There is no thought of a strike in connection with the de mand to be presented.” An important statement bearing on the attitude of the railroads in the matter of increasing wages of their employes was made this afternoon by W. C. Brown, president of the New York Central Railroad, who said that if any increase in wages was granted there would have to be an increase in railroad rates. President Brown said: “If it is true that there has been an increase ia the cost of living since the increases in railroad wages in the lat ter part of 1906 and early in 1907, then the men are justified in asking for some further increase at this time. If no such increase has taken plac° then the men cannot exiiect more pay. The facts remain to be determined. "But it cannot be stated too prompt ly or emphatically that any increase whatsoever in wages is impossible without a commensurate increase in railroad rates.” i REQUEST IS REFUSED. Boston Maine Railroad Declines to Grant Advance at Present. Boston, Dec. 8.—A conference today between representatives of the Knights of Labor and Gen. Manager Frank Barr and other officers of the Boston Maine Railroad in which the former ask for an increase in wages and a re duction in working hours, resulted in a fiat refusal of the request on the part of the railroad. The freight handlers asked for $2.25 per day and nine hours' work, against the present wage of $2 a day and 10 hours' work. Gen. Manager Barr stated that the ad vance was refused for the present, but that the matter was talked over in a friendly spirit and that no suggestion of any friction between the road and employes was intimated. QUIET AT BRIDGEPORT. Only 200 Soldiers on Guard—Dynamite Used at Struthers. Bridgeport. Ohio.

These 200 soldiers are ail that remain of the three regiments called out for strike guard duty at the Aetna standard plant of the American Sheet Tin Plate Co. here Saturday. Absolute quiet now reigns about the mills. Struthers, Ohio, Dec. 8.—A large double frame house, occupied by the families of Harry Birney and Bouis Smith, recently imported here by the American Sheet Tin Plate Co. to work in the local mill, where a strike is in progress, was dy namited early today. William Birney, father of Harry Birney. was almost suffocated by being buried under debris, and six other members of the two families sustained slight injuries. The house was practically demolished. becoming serious. Strike of Tin Plate Workers Marked By Violence. Pittsburg, Dec. 8.—The strike of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel Tin Workers against the American Sheet Tin Plate Co., a subsidiary of the United States Steel Corporation, which has been in progress during the past five months in the middle states of Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsyl vania is gradually assuming serioua proportions. Developments in the labor dispute to day clearly demonstrated the temper of the participants. A house occupied by non-union men at Struthers was dynamited and seven persons were injured; a soldier opened fire on a striker at Bridgeport without effect, ■however; non-union men were severely beaten at Newcastle, Pa„ and the au thorities at Wheeling- and Martin's Per ry are preparing for trouble that it is feared may occur momentarily at mills in that vicinity. The ofiicials of the United Slates Steel Corporation and American Sheet Tin Plate Co. are said to be holding secret conferences in this city and New York. The strike followed the “open shop” order of the company. If successful this means, it is said, the exclusion of the Amalgamated Association in the plants of the Steel Corporation. A conference of national labor lead ers under the auspices of the American Federation of Labor will be held here next Monday, when the attitude of the United States Steel Corporation tow ards organized labor will receive thor ough consideration. DO NOT AGREE. Northwestern Roads and Striking Switchmen Each Claim Victory. St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 8.—"The strike is broken,” say the railroad managers. "The railroads are tied up tighter than ever,” say the leaders of the switchmen's strike i in the Northwest. The railroads are backing up their as sertion to the extent at least of moving freight in the yards and out of the ware houses. Reports from division points along the roads affected indicate a steady improve ment in traffic conditions. A REFERENDUM VOTE Ordered by Big Four's Telegraphers After Negotiations Prove Futile. Cincinnati, Dec. 8.—After several days of futile negotiations between a commit tee representing the Big Four’s telegraph operators and the officers of that rail road, a referendum vote was ordered by the operators today. Whether a strike will lie ordered will now depend upon the way the 1O00 telegraphers employed by the system vote. The demands of the men which have been refused are for a 20 per cent, in crease in pay and for the inclusion in their ranks of telephone operators, in (Continued On Page Two.) ALL INDICATIONS POINT TO DECISIVE CONFLICT TODAY.

Washington, Deo. 8— Senor Castrillo. the representative of the revolutionists here, received a cablegram under to day's date from Bluefields signed "Es trada.” stating that all indications were that a decisive battle between Ze laya’s forces and the revolutionists would be' fought tomorrow at Rama. President Zelayu, recognizing the growing sentiment in Nicaragua fa vorable to the revolutionists and to the part the United States is playing in the contest, has recently been making every possible effort to incite the peo ple to anti-American demonstrations. This information was received'at the state department today from official sources, together with the statements that Zelaya’s efforts in that direction had been utterly futile and that noth ing but fear of him prevents a pro American demonstration.' No confirma tion lias been received by government officials here of the report of an im portant battle having been fought be tween the Zelaya and the revolutionary forces. PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT. Nicaraguans Not Informed of Cur cent Events. Panama, Dec. 8.—rassengers arriv ing litre from Nicaragua state that the people in that republic are kept in ig norance of what is happening through out the country. So strict is the cen sorship maintained by President Ze laya that residents of the western part of Nicaragua have not learned of the breaking off of diplomatic relations between the United States and Nic aragua. The President of Honduras re ported to be an ally of Zelaya has wired the Honduras minister at Salvador in quiring about events in Nicaragua, af MARTIAL LAW IN HONDURAS. Porto Cortes, Honduras, Dec. 8.— Martial lav,- in Honduras was pro claimed yesterday. A state of expec tancy exists. The proclamation of1 martial law In Honduras is the result probably of a suspicion at the capital that General Manuel Bonilla will take advantage of the situation in Nicaragua to invade Honduras with a rebel band and re gain the presidency from which he was deposed by President Davila with the aiil of President Zelaya of Nicaragua. Driven from the presidency of Hon duras Bonilla took refuge on the Amer ican cruiser Chicago April 12, 1907. Since then he has spent much time in Mexico, the United States and British Honduras. On Nov. 23. last he sailed from New Orleans for ‘Colon. He is suspected of intriguing with Guatemala an 1 Salvador with the purpose of bringing about a revolution in Hon duras, overthrowing the Davila gov ernment and then forming a union be tween Honduras, Guatemala and Sal-\ vador for an attack on President Ze laya’s government In Nicaragua. Against the suspicions are the recent statement by General Bonilla at New Orleans that ht was out of politics and would not make war on Honduras; and official assertions that Guatemala and Salvador have no intention of aiding In such a movement. in her part Honduras has been charged with maintaining an alliance with President Zelaya of Nicaragua. The fact that Davila owes his office as President to the aid at a critical time of President Zelaya, gives color to the suspicion. President Davila denies that such an alliance exists. ter having waited 10 days for a reply to numerous messages sent by him to (Continued On Page Two.)

As far as insurance is concerned, the agents got hold of us and began begging us to take out policies.”^ Mrs. Snead would not say whether lier son Fletcher is alive or dead. (Franklin Fort, Jr., her sister's counsel said tonight: "The whole solution of the case now centers in the suicide note found beside the bath tub. We shall retain experts to prove tile note genuine." New York, Dec. 8.—Mysteries piled up today in the bath tub murder case. The question of whether or not chloro form had been used in making away witli the youg Northern girl, Ocey W. M. Snead, found dead in an East Orange house more than a week ago, was brought to the fore through a story told by a Harlem druggist. He asserts that a woman resembling one of the relatives of Mrs. Snead sought to buy a bottle of chloroform from him a day or two before the body of Mrs. Snead was found. He refused to sell the drug without a prescrip tion. It lias been the theory of Chief of Police Bell, of East Orange, that Mrs. Snead was first chloroformed and then drowned. Another complication developed to day with the disappearance from the furnished room house on West 22nd street, where she had been stopping, of Mrs. Martha Wardlaw, the aged grandmother of the victim. Mrs. Wardlaw was bundled into a taxicab by two men who drove off with her down town to an undiscovered destina tion. THE HARMON CASE.

Mr. Wight was 6.". years of age April 23 last and was horn in Gardi ner. He was a resident of this city all his life but for .the last 20 years had lived at South Gardiner, the end of his run. Mr. Wight entered the employ of the Maine Central Railroad April 18, 1864, running first as baggageman and braketnan and ran the first day pas senger train between Augusta and Gar diner. He was on that run for 26 years and then run the Accommodation train between Augusta and South Gardiner from that time until yester day when he completed his day’s work. From his long term of service on the road Mr. Wight was perhaps the most widely known passenger conductor in the employ of the company. A widow. Mrs. Annette Sprague Wight, and two sons, John H. Wight, baggage master at the Gardiner sta tion, and Harry L., station agent of the Kennebec Central Railroad in Randolph survive. He was a member of Hermon Lodge, F. and A. M., Lebanon Chapter, R. A.

Mr. Wight began railroading when he was 21 years of age, in 1864, as bag gagemaster and brakeman on the Ac enmmudation train, long known as the ’’Dummy,” and was later promoted to conductor. During his entire railroad career he was employed on this train. He was promoted to conduetor on the retirement of Conductor John Holmes in 1889. and had served efficiently and faithfully in that capacity ever since. Mr. Wight was bom in Gardiner, April 20, 1843.

John Jewett of Portland, formerly a conductor, but now employed at the Union stntion in that city. Up to the time of liis retirement Elisha Newell, in later years engineer of the shifter in the freight yard at Gardiner, had f also served as long as "Sir. Wight.

P Day's Financial News and Gossip. Boston, Dec. 8. Boston—For tile 10 months ending October 31, exports of copper from the United States amounted to 564,325,998 pounds, valued at 873,840,701. Both vol ume and value were under those of the same period of 1908, but exceeded the 1907 figures by 220,000,000 pounds, al though the value was only $1,000,000 more. Pittsburg—Prices have softened some on coke as result of deadlock between producers and buyers. Production showed a large increase for the past week but still did not nearly approach the high mark three weeks ago when 457,000 tons were turned out with a decided slump in the following week to 412,000 tons, due to labor conditions. Hunt, Ellis Co. say: There is gen eral satisfaction with the tenor of the President's message and each day brings accumulative evidence of busi ness expansion and nation wide pros perity. While there may be sentiment al reactions from time to time due to the activities of the more radical mem bers of Congress, these opportunities should be taken advantage of to pur chase stocks. Boston—The Rock Island interest^ are fast extending their Eastern Railroad holdings. Lehigh Valley is now in their possession and it is probably a matter of weeks only before Wabash will be in the Moore-Reid camp. Boston—Present indications point to net earnings for the United States Smelting, Refining Mining Co., for the year ending Dec. 31, after depre ciation, fixed charges, etc., ol about $3,600,000 or an average of $300,000 per month for the entire year. Boston—Thomas F. Cole, W. D. Thornton, W. B. Dixon, B. B. Thayer and D. B. Hennessey have been re elected directors of the Red Metals Mining Co. for the ensuing year. Butte’ Mont.—The mines of the Butte district are yielding a normal amount of ore and producing a normal amount of copper, the year 1909, and will show a total production in excess of 300,000,000 pounds of the red metal. Very nearly 12,000 men are employed in and about the mines of Butte, and the pay-roll is still considerable in excess of a million dollars a month, the total probably reaching $1,300,000 for the .men employed in the mines of the district, and the two remaining smelt ers gt Butte. The only thing that has been to the disadvantage of the mining industry has been the continuing low price of the metal. New York—During November the most important incorporations in New Jersey ajare Intercontinental Rubber er Oo.. -oafrUl $17,000,000; Metropolitan StearnMlp eio, capital $3,000*000. Joplin, Mo.—The highest price paid for zinc this last week was $55 per ton, the base of zinc sulphide ore rang log from $50 to $52.50 per ton of 60 per cent. zinc. The base price of zinc sili cate ranged from $28 to $30 per ton of 40 per cent. zinc. The average price, all grades, was $49.26 per ton. Boston—For the purpose of authoriz ing sale rf all the company's property a special meeting of stockholders of the New house Mines ti Smelters has been called for Dec. 28. Immediate dissolu tion of the corporation together with the winding up of all Its affairs will also be determined. Boston—Based on 11 months' showing it seems probable that the railroads of the country will order this calender year a total of very close to 200.000 freight cars, over three tlm<-s the 62J00 ordered in 1908, and 23 per cent, ahead of the 151,700 freight cars which the American railroads purchased in 1S07. In 1908, recovery, satisfactory as it is silill leaves a total of equipment orders far in the rear of the record year of 1905, when a total of 341,300 freight cars were ordered. The November freight car orders, totaling nearly $40. 000,000 worth of equipment, were the largest since Janaury, 1907, while the locomotive orders, totaling nearly 475. were also a new high record for the last three years. s 4 ORIGIN OF SEA TERMS. Many Sayings of Sailors Are Corrup tions—Shote Anchors. (From Harper’s Weekly.) There Is hardly a language which has not been caller upon to provide at least one of the curious sea terms which are in constant use and whose origin is ‘so obscure. For instance, the word “admiral” is not of Knglish orlg in, but is from the Arabic emit el bagh, or lord of the sea. Captain comes from the Batin caput, but mate is from Ice landic, and means a companion or equal. Coxswain is a word whose de rivation would never Is- guessed. The coxswain was originally the man who pulled the afier-oar in the captain’s boat, which was known long ago as tin cockboat. This, in turn, is a corruption of the word coracle, a small round boat used on the Wye and Usk rivers. So cbxswain, it is plain, comes to us from the Welch. Another curious case of a term grad ually corrupted out of its original form is the dog watch. This was originally the "dodge watch.” because it lasted only two hours instead of four, and thus makes it possible that the same men shall not be on duty every day (he same hours. Commodore, a term now diearded by our navy, is not so difficult to trace to its origin. It is simply the Italian cum mendatore, meaning commander. No such person as Davy Jones ever exist ed, though we have all often heard of him and his locker. To be correct, one should speak of ’’Duffy Jonah's locker," for that was the original. Instead of tile terms “port" and “starboard,’’ which are in use nowa days, they used to talk of larboard" and “starboard.” Starboard has noth ing in common witli stars, but is really tile Anglo-Saxon for ’’steerboard," “steerside because in all galleys which were steered by an ear the oar was fixed somewhere on the right-hand side of the stern and the helmsman held the inboard portion in his right hand. "Larboard" is a corruption of lower board, the larboard side being inferior to the other. The “jury mast" has nothing in com mon with a jury except its derivation from the jury- mast is one which is put up temporarily—for a day—just as a juryin its legal term means a tribual summoned for a short time only. Then there is the “sheet anchor.” the name given to the largest anchor car rid by a ship. This used to he “shote anchor," ard was so called because of its great weight, which makes it east to "shote" one in case of an emergency. Automobiles are always making more or less trouble for diplomats, as those who remember the I.enox incident will recall. The Belgian minister at Wash ington has just protested against beinf forced to buy a District of Columbia license tag, but the District commie sioners have ruled that he must. FINANCIAL f.

Bill in Equity Against Eastport Sav ings Bank Dismissed. _u— p p _ A rescript drawn oy .associate Justice Arno W. King of Ellsworth, dismissing without costs the bill in equity of Louise I E. Greenlaw vs. Eastport Savings Bank, was handed down by the lawr court Wed nesday. The rescript is as follows: Louise E. Greenlaw, in Equity vs. East port Savings Bank, et als. Rescript. King, J. Bill in equity to redeem certain real estate from a deed absolute in form, given by Mary S. Kenney on March H, 1SS7 to Samuel D. Leavitt to secure loans then made and to be made to Mrs. Kenney to enable,her to build a hotel on the land conveyed. A bond for reconvey ance was given, at the same time as the deed, from Mr. Leavitt to Mrs. Kenney. The loans were made by the bank, and Mr. Leavitt subsequently conveyed the same real estate to the bank to hold as security for the loans made by the bank or himself to Mrs. Kenney. The ease is before the law court on report for the determination of the ques tion submitted by the referee, whether there is a subsisting right of redemption from the deed of Mary S. Kenney of March 14, 1887, or whether that right of redemption became extinguished by the subsequent agreement of the parties, shown by the statement of facts found by the referee. 1. Wlille it is a well settled principle that a mortgagor will not lie permitted to change the character of the mortgage, or release, surrender or embarass his right of redemption by any agreement made at the same time and as u part of the mortgage transaction, it is also a well settled doctrine that a mortgagor by a subsequent voluntary agreement may sell and convey to the mortgagee ids equity of redemption and all his right and interest in the mortgaged premises, provided such subsequent agreement is bona fide, f6r an adequate consideration, and not procured by fraud, oppression or undue influence on the part of the mortgagee. The meaning of the oft-quoted legal maxim “Once a mortgage always a mort gage,” is more precisely stated "Once a mortgage always a mortgage until the parties by a subsequent bona fide ar rangement between them agree to treat it differently.” 2. The referee lias found as a fact, that after seven years from tlie time of tlie original transaction, which was in effect a mortgage, the parties mutually agreed that the bank should retain the land “as full payment for the loans’* and in pur suance of that agreement the bond for re-conveyance, which had not been re corded, was surrendered. From the finding of the facts by the referee it must be assumed by the court that it was the intent of the parties by this subsequent agreement to vest the estate uncondition ally in the grantee of j,he original deed, and that the agreement was voluntary on the part of the mortgagor, and was fair, honest, and not procured by fraud or undue influence on the part of the mortgagee. Applying the well established doctrine above mentioned to the facts as found by the referee and the conclusion neces sarily follows that the right of redemp tion from the deed of Mary S. Kenney of (March H, 1887 was extinguished by the subsequent agreement of the parties, and is no longer a subsisting right. In accordance with the provisions of the referee’s report the entry must be Bill dismissed without costs. Tiie attorney-general of North Caro lina is something of an orator.

Sligg9sted Brunswick, Me., Dec. 8.—(Special).— Bow .loin students are becoming inter ested in the movement to/ rifle shooting which is being advocated for univer sities and colleges. Although no action l;as been taken as yet here the Orient has called the attention of the students# to the matter and it is felt by many that a rifle club at Bowdoin would bo very popular. With the opening of the schools and colleges the National Rifle Association of America from its oflices in Wash ington, D. C., has begun an active cam paign to organize rifle clubs in institu tions of learning throughout the coun try. During the*past year it has been the recipient or several trophies lor student competition. Circular letters have been addressed to all colleges and universities urging the organization of rifle clubs so as to he in position to train and select teatnsi later for the intercollegiate matches. The practice of these college clubs when on range is available in the insti tution, is in most cases beng carried on at the local National Guard range, facilities are always gladly offered and in some cases the rifles also are loaned to t'he college riflemen. Although rifle shooting is a new de partment of college sport it is neverthe less growing in popularity as is shown by the fact that seventeen colleges now have active and flourishing clubs. These institutions are Yale, Harvard, Cornell, California, Columbia. Idaho, Pennsylvania. Iowa, Nevada and George Washington. Massachusetts Agricultural College, Utah Agricultural College, Micliigan Agricultural College, Washington State College, Deleware College and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The notices sent to the various insti tutions are signed by Rieut. Albert S. Jones. Secretary of the National Rifle Association of America, Hlbbs Build ing, Washington. D.

Congress is now ready for work. If this insurance business keeps up it will be necessary to insure the in surance companies. The Philadelphia pastor who has in stalled young lady ushers is taking an unfair advantage* of the poor men. Boost Maine! It needs it no more than the majority of the states, but it will stand a lot of boosting just the same. When dear old free trade England adopts a protective tariff there will be no haven for the free traders except the North Pole. Kail River, New Bedford, Marlboro and Gloucester will go on a spree the coming year and then come to their sober senses again. The minister who declared that col lege spirit is all alike, probably never sampled more than one variety—and tiial sparingly. The reduction of the department estimates to a point below the current appropriations is a feat no other President has performed. The switchmen's strike has caused “Uncle Jim" Hill to cease giving ad vice on how to run the nation. That’s worth something. Col. John Jacob Astor is back and if he will enquire at any well regulated newspaper office he will find that there is no dust on his obituary. They do say that misery loves com pany. Perhaps that accounts for the defence of the mother-in-law on the part of a New York justice. He lives with his ow n. Senator Root's mistake will live in history, for it is not often that the re port of so important an officer as the Secretary ol' the Treasury is pub lished prematurely. Pi a nee has discovered that Germany is ahead in the flying game. The French war department might attach wings to tin? hands of the common people and then start them talking about the Steinheil case. Mrs. Thaw believes her son is mis treated at Matteawan. It is doubtless true that he isn't treated the same as he was a home, but the events of the past few years indicate the he was used too well at home. If the people of England administer the drubbing to the Lords that their present temper presages, it will be hard work for the outraged nobility to preserve that indifferent air for which it is noted. Creditors of Prince Miguel have sued him for a million on the strength of his marriage to Anita Stewart. There should no longer be any doubt of Miguel's purpose in seeking an American wife. A woman has been found who eun talk A4 languages. Most of them man age to keep fairly busy with om—but perhaps this wonderfully equipped lady aits up nights ami talks to herself. President Taft's proposed commis sion to expedite justice, should investi gate conditions In Wyoming where a man robbed a store, was caught, tried, committed and locked in the peniten tiary for four years, all inside of 12 hours. If many Rhode Island citizens take Itooseveit doctrines, as literally as has the father of three sets of twins and a set of triplets, somebody will have to put a fence around that State to keep the population from falling out into Massachusetts and Connecticut. The Washington Post appears in the role of a clairvoyant, reading tlie fu ture like an open book. It says that the recess resolution will certainly mouse nonpartisanship to the highest piteli of patriotism. Wliut's the uso of a Congress any how? It has been voted that Peary discovered the pole, that Jeffries is go ing .to lick Johnson, that the only bux om schoolmarms left in New Hamp shire fife those that can't get away and that tVe swimming at Old Orchard would better if the water was steam heated- What is there left to decide?

Later il couldn't be found and its whereabouts remained a mystery until last wee^- when if was found protrud ing iroijt1 man w the right arm of a young whom.jbe school teaejier had Evidently a a needle Red Croes Endowment. President Taft in his appointment of a committee to administer an indemni ty fund which he urges be made at icast $2,000,000 pays glowing tribute to the work of the American Red Cross. That organization needs the commen dation of no one in the estimation of the people, yet it is pleasing to those who are connected with the work to hear the words of commendation which President Taft wrote into the letters which accompanied the appointment. The President noted that the time had come when the American Red Cross should be placed on permanent and ef ficient basis. That the $5,000,000 re ceived within the last five years was so large a sum that it should be ad ministered to the greatest advantage, and then says: “Experience lias shown that in cases of great disasters, such as occurred at San Francisco and in Italy, large con tributions are received by the Red Cross, but ir. the constantly recurring disasters where smaller communities ara stricken and should receive a cer tain amount of assistance, the contri butions arc far too small to meet the need. “The standing of this remarkable or ganization throughout the world, its importance to our own country, and its beneficent influence tor peace and good will in international relief work com. mend it to the public spirited men and women of the United States. 1 believe, gentlemen, you cannot appeal to them in vain to aid in providing the Ameri can Red Cross with an endowment fund of $2,000,000, less than the funds of the societies of other first powers, so that our national society may take its proper place in this great international institution.” “Get Ready for the Canal.” “Get ready for the canal" was the keynote of an address delivered be fore the Southern Commercial Con gress at Washington Monday after noon. The speaker was John Bar rett, a director of the International Bureau of American Republics, a man familiar with trade conditions up and down the both seaboards. His battle cry found a ready response among those within the sound of his voice. As the gathering was composed of the leading thinkers and business men of tiie South, it is safe to say that when tiiis appears in print the slogan is echoing from Virginia to Texas. “Get ready for the canal” does not mean laying in a stock of fireworks and buying a ticket to a banquet somewhere. It means lending a hand to improve trade conditions between this country and our Central and South American neighbors, on both coasts. It means urging the adoption of some sort of a ship subsidy bill for tiie encouragement of a merchant marine and ship building. Perhaps a mail subsidy is not adequate. Per haps a subsidy giving aid to the slower freight steamers would help more. Certain it is that mail sub sidies are better than none and the sooner we get them the better. The men who met at Washington represented tiie South and talked, for the most part, of the advantages to be derived from the use of the canal by the South. It is to be hoped that the South will get the benefit of the canal to the full, that business in the South will grow by leaps and bounds because of it. For, if tiie South grows and prospers the rest of the country will prosper accordingly. "The Southern states abutting on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, the first tier of states back of them and the Central Western states have a great and rich commercial opportunity be fore them in Latin America," said Mr. Barrett. "Without enlarging upon the vast east coast of South America, which includes the mighty areas of Venezuela, Uruguay. Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina with an annual foreign trade valued at one billion dollars ($1, 000,000,000), let us bear in mind that there reaches directly south from Panama to Patagonia a Pacific coast line of 5000 miles, in the very infancy of its development, blessed with a marvelous variety of resources and climate, and one which, though com paratively isolated, is already conduct ing a foreign trade valued at three hundred millions of dollars ($300,000. 000) per annum. In other words, the five republics of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru. Bolivia, and Chile, practically debouching on the Pacific, bought and sold in one year products equal in value to two-thirds of the entire cost ot the canal. If a trade of such vol ume can be maintained without the canal, it is difficult to predict safely its valuation a few years after the canal is completed. 'Xorthwest from Panama is the Pa cific coast: line of Central America and Mexico, with a reach of nearly 3000 miles, which will be put into di rect and intimate touch with the South when the canal is opened. This coast line from Panama to San Diego now carries on a foreign trade valued at approximately one hundred millions of dollars ($100,000,000); it is hard to prophesy what total this will betorae a few years after the isthmian water way is done. Directly en route from the Atlantic coast to the canal are Cuba, the Dom inican Republic, Hayti, and Porto Rico, with an annual foreign trade two hundred and fifty WHEN WE’RE DEAD. Epitaphs on tombstones tell us that the live alone are cussed, and our rivals are but jealous that their scheme o’ things we mussed. In the labyrinths of trade we blithely trod eac^i oth er’s corns, and the dickers that we made we did by blowing our own horns. Men who snarled at us in passing beat it to our obsequies, meek to a degree surpassing, mingling voices in the glees from the old forgotten hymn-book, and the smug-faced preacher then censures Heaven with a grim look as he whoops a last amen. As we seek our shallow basin, slowly lowered, they are there—those we beat at dollar chasin'!—each with sad and mournful air. And they sigh as if a brother had been hooked by Gran’ther Death, turning each unto another with a whimper punctured breath; then they ooze their words of sorrow, and they slowly slide away, thinking of the brisk tomorrow; girding for the coming fray. SpL. SIMPSON. what it offers to the South and Cen tral West, I would have every Cham ber of Commerce or Hoard of Trade from the Roanoke to the Rio Grande and from the Potomac to the Platte organize committees or subordinate clubs to awaken interest in everything pertaining to Latin America, its his tory and development, its commerce and industries, its people, institutions and government, and then to study methods of building up exchange of trade with all parts of our sister re publics and of taking advantage in a practical way of the great canal. I wish we could start a Pan-American League with branches in every impor tant city and town of the South and West and supported by the best citi zens of each community. Good re sults would surely follow both for our trade and for our influence. Such a movement—a tangible evidence to all Latin America of our growing interest in our sister republics—would accom plish wonderful results in removing any distrust and suspicion which is often described as existing among the masses of people from Mexico and Cuba south to Argentina and Chile.” Whether it is the Panama or the Isthmian canal is immaterial. The point is, whether it is to be used by American merchant vessels or is to become an effective aid to foreign shipping in the fight to keep us from taking our share of the ocean carry ing business.

THE LANDS OF LOST HEIRS. Brooklyn Sells Property After Seek ing Its Owners Abroad. At the front door of the Queens coun tv courthouse in Long Island City yes terday there were sold seventeen lots fronting on Pierce. 1st. 2d and 2d ave nues in Long Island City, and less than three blocks from the plaza of the Queensboro bridge. The total of the sale amounted to $29,645. This sale brought cheer to the holders of property in the first ward of Queens because of the splendid prices brought. It was less than ten years ago that the owners of these lots practically aban donee them because they considered them not worth paying taxes on. The sale was made in an order of partition granted by the supreme court of Queens county following a search through the United States, England and France for persons who could claim an interest in the property. The search turned up only two persons, to whom minor portions of the money realized will be given and tHe bulk of the money will go into the hands of the city chamberlain, there to await the appearance of those who claim it. According to the report of Referee Hetherington, it has been impossible to loacate persons of the following names: Bertha Schmidt, Augusta Welsch. Helena Welsch. Charles F. Welsch, Frederick Welsch, Heinrich Welsch, Christian Welsch and Ludwig Welsch. Tlie shares of these persons will be placed in the hands of the city cham berlain, who will hold it until some claimant appears. These persons are heirs of Charles Welsch, who died in Brooklyn Jan uary 6. 1864. leaving a will, in which lie named Franziska Welsch as executrix. She died two months later, and it is on record in Kings county that soon after ward letters of administration, with the will annexed, were issued in Kings, county to Frederick Baker. Henry Well and Henry Senff. all of Brooklyn The papers in the case declare that these men are all dead also. They left no record that would be of assistance in finding the missing heirs. A TRIFLE MIXED. Gon^ Bishop of Iceland Meant All Right But Queen Didn't Know. The Queen of Denmark once paid a visit to the Danish colony of Iceland, where the good old Bishop exerted himself to the utmost to show her everything there was worth seeing. The Queen paid many compliments to her host, and having learned that he was a family man graciously inquired how many children he had. It happens that the Danish word for children is almost identical in sound with the Icelandic word for sheep, and the worthy Bishop promptly an swered, “Two hundred.” "Two hun dred children!” cried the Queen. “How can you possibly maintain such a number?” “Easily enough, please your Majes ty. “In the summer I turn them out upon the hill to grass and when the winter comes I kill and eat them.”_ Remember The Dates, Dec. 15-16-17 Waterville’s BRIDGE Celebration Out-of-Town Visitors Will Receive Special Attention! mmmmmmBBammmKmmmmmmmmmBmammmmmmmmm AT CITY HA LL Free Concerts 10 A.

ARRd. WHITTEN. R..id.„, “ERR ILL Special Agent. Acknowledging Gifts. Wedding presents should be ac» knowledged as soon as they are re ceived. And so one of the earliest orders a bride should give is for all extra supply of note paper for the purpose. This buying is of ten troublesome to one whose purse is limited* for if a woman has her paper monogrammed. that which has her maiden initials is useless after she is married, yet she must have enough to answer all do mands previous to the time her naino is changed. And as there is no way of computing the quantity needed, she must have a large supply. She should also have a die made with her new address or initials, and paper stamped, for it is more than likely that she cannot answer all her notes before her marriage. She will wish to write some letters or notes while on her wedding Journey, and it will be a satisfaction to have the proper paper. Indeed, correctly chosen, properly stamped writing paper is one of the hall marks of good breeding. To acknowledge gifts of intimate,i friends is not difficult, for one's thanks are unaffected, spontoneous and in formal. But it is a test to write a graceful formal note to a person one has never seen, an act all girls who marry must do, because some of their presents come from friends of the bridegroom whom she does not know. And so tact must be used in such letters, for should she be formal with an old friend of her prospective hus bands’ family she gives an impression of aloofness that may be unfortunate. On the other hand, to be effusive with those she does not know is bad form, should they be only formal acquaint ances of the bridegroom. It will greatly simplify matters and aid in giving her a cue if the girl can consult her future husband and find out exactly the relationship which each giver occupies. There are always some presents from his business friends, men. whom he knows down town, but not socially, and those must be carefully thought of before answer ing. A girl who is tactless in ac knowledging gifts from such persons may sometimes so antagonize them as to hurt her husband in a business way; on the other hand, she may, with tact, aid with the same individuals by creating a good impression. Doily Over Plate. Nasturtium loaves make delicious green sandwiches, and a little lemon aded to sardines in sandwiches en hances their flavor. Sandwiches made of greens may be marked with a bit of the leaves pro truding or a nasturtium flower or a sprig of parsley. When a number of guests are ex pected and there are several plates of these dainties, each plate may have the nature of its burden indicated with the nasturtium leaves or flowers or fruit. A doily should be placed over plates under sandwiches, but bread and butter and cake look better without; besides when the loaf or cake is cut the knife would ruin the doily. Home-made cake is always a delicacy, even when of the simplest sort, and the truly hospitable hostess will see to it when expecting many callers that a loaf or two is provided. For small informal tea serving, if home-made cake is served, several pieces only should be arranged on a plate. Sweet Sandwiches. Sandwiches of all sorts are the best possible accompaniment to tea. Crispy toast and little cakes come second. Toast is often the most agreeable to the taste, but it is so seldom truiy hot and is so greasy with butter that it is by no means an ideal thing to handle while making a call. Sweet sandwiches are new and may be made from thin slices of stale or rather tough cake, having a layer of ground or pounded nuts or nuts pounded line in a mortar and held *o the cake by the thinnest possible layer of jam, marmalade or jelly. A bit of preserved ginger placed at intervals on the slices before they are laid together is delicious. Maraschino cherries cut in Quarters may also be used. When sandwiches of different kinds are served on the same plate they should be so arranged and marked that the guest may choose according to his or her taste. a sweet sandwich having cherries in side should have half a cherry on one corner, and that with preserved singer should be similarly marked with the ginger. The housewife, in laying the table, must have an eye for preserving the balance with everything that is put on. Extra knives and forks, as well as extra dishes, add reiincinent to the table. One of the problems of the house wife is the removal of tile ink spot3 from white linen, and one of the best ways to get rid of the stains is to dip the goods in buttermilk, if it is con venient, otherwise in sweet milk. This dipping should be repeated until all signs of tlie spots have disappeared. This applies to the fresh stains. It the ink has hardened there are several eradlcators purchasable. But the lat ter compounds often cause holes to appear in the linen. The woman who fears to use acids on valuable linen can fall back on lemon and salt, with several hours in the sun. Canned goods should never be left in tlie cans after they are opened. Metal spoons should never be left in tlie fruit or vegetables. These are two household regulations that should always be observed. Half a lemon will remove match marks from paint. The scratches can also be removed with a piece of very fine sandpaper. Gift For Baby. A gift designed for the youngesi member of the family Is a box con taining a food pusher, a feeding spoor and a small napkin ring. All are o silver and may be had in extremely ar tistic designs. To understand why deep breathing is beneficial one must realize that when the lungs are filled with air they puff out the skin so that the hollows Favors for a Party. The larger nuts can bo scooped out into tiny baskets for a favor at a child's party. Make a tree of a piece of wool about the size of a lead pencil, nailed to a round or a diamond-shaped base. On top of standard tacit two cross strips, each about three inches long and an eighth of an inch wide. These form four projecting arms. The standard is then gilded and the horseehestnut baskets hung, otle on each arm. They are filled with candy drops in gay colors. Line the inside of baskets with a bit of pariffln paper, as some persons arc poisoned by horse chestnuts. Making Doll Clothes. A mother who realizes the import ance of early teaching a child to sew lately bought a whole set of doll's pat terns, and passed an entire day, with her daughted. cutting them out and basting them together. The child help ed to finish them, often doing almost the entire work herself. A few gar ments were made from scrap pieces, but tile most were the result of defi nite shopping, so that the child might learn also something-of materials, and the amount necessary for her purpose. The little garments are made care fully quite as good as are those for real live people. Dolly's winter ward robe is almost done. In the spring her summer clothes will be to make. Thus the child is taught a great deal in the guise of play, which she might other wise find hard to learn, and there is no doubt that such things learned when one is young is much easier to mas ter. Look at the desperately hard time women have who have had to teach themselves when they grew up. Rice Cooked in Japanese Style. The Japanese, who know all about rice and how to cook it, dry their boiled rice in the oven. They first put one cup of rice, which has been thor oughly washed, over the fire with two cups of water and a little salt. When it has boiled for fifteen minutes tjjey set the saucepan, uncovered in the oven, which must not be too hot. In fifteen minutes the wa^er will have evaporated and every {frain will be distinct and fluffy and tender, not one sticking to the bqttom. Apple Charlotte. Pare a dozen large apples, core and quarter them. Add one cup of sugai\ one-quarter cup of butter and the grated yellow rind of half a lemon to one cup of water. Pour over thff'ap ples and cook slowly until soft. Trim slices of bread, spread with soft but ter and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Line the bottom and sides of a mold with the bread, fill with apples and bake forty-five minutes in a slow oven. Cool slightly, turn out and serve with a sauce. Corn Timbales. Boat six '^&gs just enough to mix them, add a /quarter of a teaspoonful of white pepper, half a teaspoonful of salt, one and one-half cups of milk, two cups of grated corn. Stir all well together and fill little greased molds two-thirds full. Set in a pan,of hot water, cover and bake in the oven un til the centers are firm. Serve with cream or tomato and green pepper sauce. To Ice Small Cakes. A clever schemo for icing little cakes so that they will be even all over is that of using a small wooden skewer with which to dip the cakes. Pierce the cake with the skewer, dip it into the icing and then stick the other end of the skewer into the pan of sugar, covering the skewer to one half its length with the sugar so that it will not tip over with the weight of the cake. By this method the cakes will be smoother^ all over than if mere ly iced and placed on a plate. Date Biscuit. Roll biscuit dough out quite thin, spread it with soft buffer and then with chopped dates; spread over an other layer of the dough; cut with a small biscuit cutter, place on a but tered tin and bake in a hot oven. Prune Bread. Prune bread is one of the staples of certain ranches in the Southwest. This is the way one housewife makes it: A cupful of eornmeal is scalded and with it arc mixed two cupfuls of whole wheat (lour, a cupful of sour milk, half a cupful of New Orleans molasses, u tcaspoonful of salt, a cupful of dried prqnes that have been washed, pitted and chopped fine, and a tablespoonful of soda. Put the mixture into three baking powder cans, cover and steam for three hours. Panned Tomatoes. Cut tomatoes in halves, after remov ing the skins, and dredge with flour. Lay them in a pan containing a good amount of butter and a little lard. Sprinkle a spoonful of sugar over the tomatoes and add salt and pepper. Bake them a good brown. Lift from the pan and make a thick cream gravy with the remaining juice. Pour the juice into a flat platter, lay the to matoes on top and garnish with pars ley. Steamed Indian Pudding. Chop one-quarter pound of suet fine, stir in two cups of cornmeal. Heat two sups of milk in a double boiler and stir in the suet and the meal. Stir and cook until smooth, add one half cup of molasses, two rounding tablespoonfuls of dried currants; heat well and set aside for several hours. When ready to cook add three well beaten eggs and a saltspoon of gin ger and one-half level teaspoon of soda. Pour into a buttered mold and steam four hours. Serve with a hard sauce flavored with nutmeg. Pineapple Snow. Put into a saucepan one pint of pine apple cut into small dice, add the juice and two tablespoonfuls of su gar; allow to simmer for fifteen min utes, then add one and a half heap ing tablespoonfuls of powdered gela tine dissolved in one gill of boiling wa ter. Remove from the fire. When cool add one tablespoonfu! of pineapple extract and the whites of four eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Whisk all to gether until the preparation thickens and looks like snow.

Sometimes those social pleasures take the form of a dinner or dance or party of a more or less formal nature; sometimes, on the sour of the moment, a party is formed and people just get together to have a good time in any way they please. If it’s to be a large function, it calls the caterer, the carriage agent, the florist or the grocer; if it's just a little informal gathering, it get3 the crowd together and saves disappoint ments.
