For that reason I (till take an early opportunity to wod a special message to Congress «t he subject of the improvement of i«r waterways; upon the reclamation |an 1, IM acres, confined largely to the MntRln ranges an the arid and semi lU plains.

The public lands were during the irliest administrations, treated as a itional asset for the liquidation m be public debt and as a source of re nal for our soldiers and sailors. Rut ton, they were donated in large Its in aid of the construction of roads and railways, in order to p regions in the west then al iHcressible. All the principal atutes were enacted more than tor of a century ago. The hotne ict, the preemption and timber act. the coal land and the acts were among these.

SKOWHEGAN’S BUILDING BOOM GREATEST IN ITS HISTORY. THE J. PALMER MERRILL BLOCK, WATER STREET, SKOWHEGAN. Skcwhcgan has always prided her self on having good business blocks. The town has, without doubt, suffered more from fires in the last few years than any other town in the State. The tires have taken out seme of the best blocks but in every instance there have been put up in their places up-to-date modern blocks. It was in the early part of 1009 that the Sampson (Iriflln block on tin corner of Madison Avenue and Water street was completed and it is now one of the best blocks that can be found in town. The upper part is used for offices while the whole lower floor is occupied by Sampsbn Avore’s drug store. The block commands the at tention of all who may be going either through Water street or Mad ison Avenue. It is unique in design nnd is made from light variegated brick. This beautiful block was built in the place of an old wooden block that had been there for a number of years and was destroyed in 1007. The next block to be completed in 1000 was the J. Palmer Merrill 1>1 >ck which has a frontage on both Madison Avenue and on Water street. It is one of the most substantial business blocks ever built in Sltou began. This block replaces the four old wooden buildings which were destroyed by fire on September 2, 1007. The block Is of pressed brick with granite trim mings. It is of two stories with a mn ented basement. The roof is sur mounted with cornices of copper. On the Water street floor there are thro stores. One of these is occupied by Walter F. Uobbins Company, jewelers, nnd one is at present vacant and tli other is occupied by J. Palmer .Merrill dt Son as a shoe store. The block on the Water street side has a frontage of eighty-four feet. The part of tic block fronting on Madison Avenue has a frontage of about fifty feet. A part of this is used by Charles Folsom Jones as an Insurance ollice and the other part by Frank Pooler as a shoe repairing store. The upper story of the Morrill block is fitted up for of fices ami is at present occupied by Harold Phillips, lawyer. Dr. Cliarles Viles. Dr. \V. S. fstinchfield, and W. H. Hawes, lawyer. on December 31, 190S there was a $150,.MX» fire on Water street which wiped out the Milburn block, the Ox ford Hotel and live dwelling houses. These buildings are now replaced with i-jt-t-.-date blocks. Morrison t Mc Clellan have nearly completed their new brick block which is of handsome design with stores on the lower lloor and offices on the second floor. The block is sixty-five feet deep and the frontage is thirty-eight feet. There i. is also he' ii built by L. L. Morrison it I rick block in the rear of the above mentioned block which is occupied by himself as a rug factory and the ground lloor is used by .John O'lloilleyi as a bottling shop. Ony of the handsomest blocks to be built in Skowhegan is the new home oi the First National Panic which is nearing completion and will be occu pied in June of this y ar. The design of the block is uniiiuo. It is built of white stone and granite. There will Vo a ligliti been many repairs going on in o! blocks, remodeling and fitting up wit modern conveniences. A. E. Bisso has remodeled his block on Watt street and the offices now occupied b Dr. Borden are fitted in the best o shape. The outside of the block hot on Water and Kussel streets has bee built over with large plate glass win (lows. 11. W. Brown lias rebuilt th roof on liis big wooden block on Corn street making it a flat roof with water .drain ir. the middle. George Gower, Esq., lias remodeled Ills block on the corner of Court and Water streets and both the offices un-stairs and tiie stores on the first floor are up-to-date in every way. With all the building that lias been going on in 1909 in the business streets of skowliegan perhaps few realize that more dwelling houses have been built in the town in the last year than ever before. Yet it is so. There seems to be a boom in the residential districts. There has hardly been a week during 1909 that a new dwelling house has not been started in Skowliegan. A tact, ton, that is worthy of notice is that a large number of these houses lia\e been built by the mill hands and what are termed day laborers. There seems COMBINATION BRICK AND CE MENT HOUSE AT SKOWHEGAN, OWNED BY FR ANK BUCKNAM. 4 -1 THE NEW FIRST NATIONAL BANK BUILDING, SKOWHEGAN. to have been a new spirit of content edness among the people lure. It is presumed to be due to the steady work that is assured them in the ditferent mills and factories in Skowhegan. One of the handsomest residences built in Skowhegan iit 1909 is that of Frank Bucknam on Madison Avenue on Dyer Hill. It is unusual in its de sign. being part red brick with the upper story of stucco. It is of the old English stylo cottage house. It is lit ted with all the modern conveniences and unlike any other house in Skowhc gan every room opens into a hall. It is estimated that the house cost about $10,000. Another house that adds beauty to Madison Avenue that was built in 1900 is that of J. H. Mathews Son who have a two story house. It is on what •"is known as Somerset Park near the Fair Grounds and is the best residence in that part of Skowhegan. There is only one other house in Skowhegan of the same style, that being the resi dence of \V. 11. Whittier on Madison Avenue. It is estimated that this house cost about $i000. The most costly residence that was begun in 1909 is that of ex.-Sherif? Clyde H. Smith who purchased the old homestead of the late O. R. Bacheller on Water street. Mr. Smith lias re builS^this having torn down the old house, leaving only a part of the framework. The residence as built by Mr. Smith is of Colonial style. The underpinning is of cement blocks, this being the first construction of its kind ever done in Skowhegan. The founda tion of verandas and porte cochere is of ledge stone and the veranda floors are of red brick. This residence is as jet not completed but when done will be the most beautiful residence in Skowhegan. There have been about thirty resi dences built in Skowhegan village in 1909. About eighteen of these have been built on the north side of the river. The prospect for building,in 1910 is that it will probably exceed that in 1909. There will probably be more resi dences built but fewer business blocks. There have been many contracts made for building private houses in the early spring. Thomas Hailey, a native of this State and a well-known summer visitor at Peaks Island, died at his home at Camp Point, 111., recently. Mr. Bailey was born in Poland, this State, Octo ber s, 1M7. He was educated in the town of Minot and his native town and some time taught school in Androscog gin ar.d Oxford counties. He went West in 1839 and taught school at a plate near Quincy that is now known as Camp Point, until 1843. In the year 1855 Mr. Bailey with others took up a large tract of land and through his influence and hard work the place was soon on a fair way to become a large town. In 1867 he established a bank there and in 1873 he started a newspa per which he conducted successfully for a number of years. He was also justice of the peace and served as such for 45 years. Frank Emery. oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Fptok Emery of Skowhegan, has heen appointed by Congressman Bur high as alternate to West Point. The examination will he held in January. 1911. Mr. Emery is a member of the junior class of tlie local High school and is* 17 years old. He is the oldest of a family of eight children and ob tained this appointment througli his own efforts. He lives with his mother on Main street, his father at present ;>e>ng in New York. Rev. X. La.M.nrche, a former pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church at Dixmont, has taken a pastorate at Bay City, Mich.. Rev. G. H. Harvey, who has been located at Dixmont for some time, has gone to Sioux Falls, S. D„ where lie will locate. I SOMERSET COUNTY JAIL WORKSHOP, SKOWHEGAN.

No. 4S, d tie jen itl social movements of the day iuul indirectly upon tte- world wide inti rest in foreign missions was the fr lture of the eighth session of the sixth annual conference on child labor ill Poston I'nivcrsity this evening. In its indifference to the child labor movement,’' said the Hi v. John IT. H'dmes of the t’hnreh of th“ Messiah, N’ew York, in tin address upon “The Indifference of Church and Moral Forces," "the church is living up to its o n record. The church has never been tlva champion of social reform or the leader of social progress. The c lmri’h will never la aroused to real action in social movements until it has been aroused from its present condition. “This condition is due first fo denom instievmlisr.i. second to interest in an other world instead o', this world, and third to the over-weening Interest in foreign missions, instead of home mis sions I can think of nothing more impu dent than for the Christians of this country to take to fe.ri ign lands that gospel' which they have not learned themselves and to the practice of which they have not converted their own '‘ivilization." ••Tim men most uirp-iy the labor of children. the men who grow rich from the blood money created by working: children, fire the men who today are sitting in the front pews. •If it is not the mission of the church to plunge into the much of the world and to cleanse it. then it has no mission to perform. We need to sweep away the re ligious rubbish of the centuries and to make a new ploughing and a new sow ing.” “There should he a law fixing the work ing age of children at lf» for the mini mum.” said Charles F. Smith of New Britain, Ot.. himself an employer, in an address upon “False Economic Ideas.*’ “Inspection shows that the demand for cheap labor is greatest in New England,” was the statement mad? by Mrs. Flor T'..n rf n*'w York secretary of the National Consumers’ League. “Industry and American enterprise will still flourigh ami liave morn lasting fruits when the child is removed from the arena or industrial competition,” was the pre diction made by Prof. Samuel McCune Lindsay of Columbia University, who spoke upon “Unequal Laws. "The school today looks only in one direction, the making of literate citi zens," said Everett W. Lord, secretary for New England of the Child Labor Com mittee. “They should cultivate that in dustrial intelligence essential to indus try efficiency. At the afternoon session Prof. Alex ande ridiculed the hook worm crusade and said it was merely an old parasitic disease suddenly re-discovered, and that with its discovery there had been begun a crusade the apparent purpose.pf which was to translate bodily the entire white agricultural population of the South from the cotton field to the cotton mill as the only possible remedy.

Big Union Services Tonight And Tomorrow Morning. Local Happenings and Personals Gathered About the City. Miss Josephine Galla is ill with ap pendicitis. A surface cutter was hauled to the H. I,. Brown Co’s, quarry yesterday. A baptismal service will be held tomor row morning at the X>’irst Universalist church. George B.uzzell, a former Haliowell boy, lias secured a lucrative position with tlie New England News Co. An adjourned session of the annual par ish meeting of the First Universalist church will he held tomorrow at the close of the morning service. Some important matters need attention. A full attend ance is necessary. Rev. A. R. Crane, P. D., who has been stopping at the Hallowell house, left yes terday for Hebron. From there he will go to Gardner, Mass., to visit his mar ried daughter and later on will return to this eity, probably for his permanent res idence. Gray-Alien Meetings. N Rev. Ora Samuel Gray, the preacher, and Charles F.-Allen, the singing evan gelist, had the right of way in Hallo well yesterday and much was made of the opportunities in their efforts to do good. Certainly the evangelists have been well received and their services appre ciated. The meeting from 111.30 to 1 P. iM. in the packing room of Johnson Bros.' shoe factory, when a very large majority of the employes gathered to listen to the sermon and song, was a most inspiring occasion. The most polite attention was given by all present irrespective of their being Catholic or Protestant. The service was beautiful for its simplicity. The talk by Mr. Gray should not only tend to make the listeners better men and better women, but better employes. If proper heed to the message is taken the firm, in whose place of business the meeting was held, will be the gainers for having opened their doors for the entrance of the visiting and local ministers who were present to take part in the religious movement. At the afternoon service in the Old South church a large congregation of adults was present than at any previous meeting, and at 3.30, when many of the children from the schools entered, the au dience was augmented very much beyond what it had been before. At this service Mr. Gray spoke briefly upon the "Unfail ing Promises of God." The theme was carried out so as to bo understood by youth and old age, the speaker dwelling specially upon the value of a promise, how God esteemed it and the value that every man. woman and child should place upon it not only toward God but also toward our fellow-men. The schedule for the closing of these Interesting services for today and tomorrow w-ill be as fol lows: At 3 o’clock this afternoon a spe cial service at the Industrial school for tlie inmates of that institution. Tonight at 7.30 o'clock in the First Baptist church a great mass meeting will be hold. It is expected that the members of the Augus ta chorus will he present. All the local singers are requested to come early and take their places on the front seats to be reserved for them. This promises to be the great meeting of the series. Sunday Morning. Sunday morning at 10.30 o'clock the churches will unite in the closing effort of the campaign in the Baptist church. This is the largest church in town and from present prospects that will be filled to its utmost capacity. This will be pre eminently a service of the churches who ask the entire community, regardless of creed or denomination, to join in this great close of a great service. There will also be a union Sunday school service at noon. Officers, teachers, pupils and parents are cordially invited to co-operate. This meeting will be held in the Baptist chapel just north of the church. Both Senior and Infant depart ments are invited. The latter department will be' addressed by Mr. Gray and dis missed early, after which the same speaker will address the older scholars. Church Notices. St. Matthew’s church. Rev. W. F.

The New Orleans Bell Leader Undermined by Ibe Bears And Cotton Drops Sharply in New York and New Orleans. New York. Jan. 14.—The big bull campaign in cotton collapsed today with the most sensational perpendicu lar decline seen in a week of erratic recessions. Reports freely circulated in the trade after the close of the mar ket had it that the position of the leading Southern bull has been com pletely undermined'' by the continued liquidation which has been in progress since early in tlie year. At the low point today New York contracts showed a decline of from $5.20 to $5.60 a bale from the closing prices of the night previous which was a break of from $6.1o to $6.50 a bale from the high figures of the day and of $13.25 to $14.25 a bale front the high point of the season. May contracts touched 13.70 late in the afternoon. The bull market has lasted for over a year. At the height of the campaign it was estimated that 1C. (1. Scutes of Texas, the leader, had accumulated paper prolits of $10,000,000 for the sea son. As a Christmas present, he is said to have given $10,000 to one of his favorite brothers and another accepted story had it that he made over $1,000. ooo in cash to one of his brothers. His heaviest holdings were in May cotton and he and his friends were generally believed at one time to control con tracts calling for the delivery of fully l, 000,000 bales during that month. The situation had developed before the beginning of the decline into a threat of the greatest squeeze of shorts in the history of the trade but other bulls who had followed Mr. Scates’ lead without enlisting in his party de cided that the time was ripe for a bear raid. One after another the big ac counts began to come into the market. The Scates party was said to have its cotton margined down to In cents a pound, and it was confidently asesrted that its members would never abandon their stand. Today it was announced that Mr. Settles had transferred his holdings to the leading bear interest. Smaller operators were hard nipped, but it is believed the large bulls lk| uidatd above their average buying price for the season. As soon as the news spread that tin agreement had been reached botwen the conilieting interests, the market received aggressive support closing at from 20 to :!i) points up from the low m, -irks today. A much better feeling prevails in the trade tonight and it Is thought that a better market may lie expected for the coming week with prices more generally influenced by legitimate demand supply. After the otbeial close May contracts changed hands at 14.10 compared with 13.70, the low point of the day. The market which the bears are said in have in ken over the bull holdings is I.'!1-, cents. SAME AT NEW ORLEANS. Market Slumps, With Loss of About $5.80 Per Bale. New Orleans, Jan. 14.—One of tile worst slumps in the history of t lie not ion future trailing was recorded today. Prices of the old crop deliveries broke soon after tile lunch hour in a most sensational manner and within a very short time were from 10!i to 116 points down from the high levels of the day, a loss of about $5.80 a bale. Within less than half an hour's trading there was a break of 60 points and quotations crumbled away, as registered on the sales board, from 7 to 11 points at a time. The prices established were al most three cents a pound, or 15 a. bale lower than the highest level of the season. The cause of the break was generally regarded as without explanation. Large traders, including prominent South! rn bulls who recently went to New York have been talking very bullishly. It was known, however, that a powerful bear clique has trained its guns on this hull factor. The decline started in New York and followed a period of quiet trailing in which the market had taken on a steady tone which led bulls to believe that liquidation from their side was about over. Suddenly the selling started and in a few minutes time the market was in a state of semi-panic with long cotton trades thrown overboard by thou sands of bales, in the last half hour of trading the decline was cheeked by profit taking by the bears. They bought heavily and the result was a reaction of about 30 points, or $1.50 a bale. SCHERMEF1HORN WILL LIVE. Nothing New Learned About Murder of Miss Breyrr.er. Poughkeepsie, N.

LEAVETODAY. Insurgents Will Quit Blue fields for Greytown. Generals Will Concentrate Forc es in Clioutales District Today. Engagement Near Acoyapa Will Take Place at Once. lilueticlds. Jim. 14.—Generals Estrada, Matuty and Eolcdon, with 1200 men. who have been detained by rough seas for a week, will leave Bluefields today for Orcytown, using tlie trans ports Utstein and Ometepe and the gunboat Blanca. Gen. Chamorro is ex pected in the heart of the Chontales district tomorrow, where he will be joined by Gen. Mena. An engagement near Acoyapa will then immediately take place. Gen. Juan Reyes, former governor of the coast provinces, has telegraphed to Gen. Estrada from Greytown. re questing permission to come to Blue fields and enter into peace negotia tions with Estrada without the acqui escence .of President Madriz. It will be remembered that Reyes, who was second in command of the revolution ary army, turned traitor and went to Managua with Madriz from Costa Rica. Gen. Estrada, therefore, refused Reyes permission to come here. Gen. Huralde, in command of the^ government troops at Greytown, sent a wireless dispatch today asking that a boat be sent to Greytown to convey the Red Cross, sent by President Madriz and Gen. Reyes, to Bluefields. Gen. Estrada re plied as follows: ‘‘I would have appreciated it much if you could have sent the Red Cross immediately after the battle at Rccreo, but we now have everything well in hand. American, Costa Rican and na tional doctors have come to our aid and the wounded are nearly all well." The revolutionists are strongly in clined to the opinion that this Red Cross movement by the government is but a pretext to spy upon'Gen. Es trada's plans. H. H.

The husky Red Sox catcher has at last come to terms, for his signed contract arrived at the Boston Amer ican League office yesterday, and Pres ident Taylor and Manager Donovan and the fans of Boston will breathe more freely accordingly. To tell the truth, there lias never been much chance of Bill Carrigan getting away from Boston. But until his contract arrived yesterday the lo cal management was on pins and needles, as the Lewiston lad was not particularly delighted with the terms originally 'offered him, and balked at signing un until he was given what he considered a reasonable figure. Carrigan’s hitting is a big feature of the Red Sox strength and the going of •'Rough” would have left a big hole in the team. In fact his hitting is re garded by Manager Donovan as so much of an asset that it is more than likely that in the arrangement of next year's batting order Bill will be moved up several pegs, to a position where one of his telling lioks will count for something more than these did last season. I Too often in the past, it lias been demonstrated that if one of Bill's sav age clouts had come at the right time it would have given the game a differ ent look. But between the consistent hitters of the Red Sox crew and the catcher’.-, position there was quite a little apace, and time and again had Carirgan been a little further up in. the batting order, his hits would have meant one or more runs. Frequently with one out Kill would come to bat and drive out a clean safe ty Then followed a weak hitting pitcher, and although Carrigan stood on first, there were two men out when Niles r McConnell came to bat, and the chances were far from bright. It takes a mighty long swat to drive Bill Carrigan in from first. Manager Fred Bake and President Dovey took a run up to the South End grounds to see what damage was done to the grandstand during the recent storm. The long wire net that protects the press box and the majority of grandstand spectators from foul tips has been torn away by the snow and wind, and will need to be replaced. The box arrangement is something that President Dovey intends to pay con siderable attention to. WILL DISCIPLINE POWELL. Pirate Twirler Must Settle for His De fiance of Dreyfuss. Pittsburg, dan. 14.—Pitcher William Powell of the Pittsburg Baseball Club, v. lio has for some weeks now openly defied the owners of the Pittsburg champions by playing basketball, was seriously injured in a game against Homestead. He was brought to the floor and so badly hurt that he had to tie assisted from the hall, and a phy sician gave the athlete advice to re main quiet for a week, or something most serious might develop. Besides being hurt otherwise, one of Powell’s eyes was injured in the mixup, and li- is considered serious by the phy sician. I in- accident lias been expected by President Barney Dreyfuss, who prom ises to make an example of Powell as a disobedient member of his baseball squad. Winn lie heard that Powell hud been hurt Dreyfuss said: •‘Powell will only find how foolish he has been when he comes to sign Ills contract. I know what salary the Pittsburg club paid him last year. I know what salary he is getting as a basketbaM player, ar.ad I will deduct at l-ast his basketball salary from what lie is to get next year, lie can fake it or leave it.” II has been but a few days since Powell paid :t visit to President Drey fuss and had a stormy interview with him over basketball. Powell tried to convince Dreyfuss that under the new rules in basketball it was next to im possible for a player to hurt another. Dreyfuss refused to lie convinced aia! Powell refused to quit tile game claim ing favoritism, in that Hans Wagner is permitted to tiluy and lie was not. OAK GROVE 12; A. T. O. 6.

One of tlie pleasing entertainments given in Monmouth for a long time was the recital by Agnes Hersey be fore the Patrons of the Grange Wednesday evening. Miss Hersey is a young lady of charming personality. In her rendition of “Mammy’s Dili Hoy” she was a typical colored nurse. The pathos of the “Madonna of the Tubs” was eh urly marked, and had a touching effect on the audience. Her :rnpersonati >n of the several charac ters in a “Letter from Hio” was espe cially pleasing.

The market may be said to be marking time pending the opening of the samples of heavyweight fabrics. Some lines have already been shown, but several mills are still to open their samples, and until the buyers have had a chance to see all of the offerings their orders are not likely to bo large or extensive. The manufacturers, therefore, have not much idea of what their future needs of wool are going to be and the current demand is chiefly for small lots to supply some urgent requirement. Much of the recent buying has come from the woolen manufacturers. Makers of wors teds are interested, but they have good sized reserves and they are in the market chiefly for the purpose of locating sup plies they are likely to need later on. Quite a good business has been done in medium unwashed fleeces, notably quar ter-bloods. One house reports a sale of 125.000 pounds of Ohio quarters at 35c. and there was another lot of 75.000 pounds of the same grade and kind at the same price. New York quarter-bloods have sold at 34c. on small transfers and Ohio three-eighths blood clips have sold at 33 1-24136 l-2c. on takings of about 80,000 pounds. A small line of Michigan three eighths bloods brought 35c. Territory wools have had but a small share in the dealings except for the movement of 1 scoured wools, which has amounted to several hundreds bags and has included territory wools at 694jj71c. for fine and 65067c. for fine medium. A lot of 75,600 pounds of Montana three-eighths bloods wool has changed hands at 30c. Business in territory wools, otherwise, has been confined to sample, lots. Sales have been resumed in the for eign markets, and but little change in prices is noted from those that prevailed before the holidays. At Sydney Monday the market was weaker on wools suit able for this country, but that market was strong again yesterday. The decline reported Monday could not have been large, as local dealers failed to get any wool at bids slightly under the level that nrevailed before the holiday suspension. The Melbourne market also was easier on Monday, but rallied on Wednesday.. Contracting is reported to be at a stand still in domestic wool-growing sections. Cirowers’ views in the first place are too high, and then the fear that the recent snowstorms in the sheep country have damaged the clips has a tendency to make buyers cautious. There are reports of a serious loss of sheep in several sections, but there is a disposition here to await further information, as such reports are common at this season of the year and not infrequently they are exaggerated. The leading grades of wool are quoted in this city as follows: Ohio and Pennsylvania—XX and above S7038C.. No. 1 40?ther large producing interests are be coming exceedingly cautious and are re fusing to enter into contracts to sell large amounts of copper deliverable over long periods. The present temper of sen timent leads me to believe that copper will sell at 14:7 to 15 cents within ;!0 days. Discussing the world’s copppr surplus a copper man of the old school who stands high as an authority says: “When the Secretan syndieate failed In l«Kt. the world's copper surplus amounted to li>7, (H0 long tons, which was just about equal to the present world’s surplus. At that time the world's production and eon sumption was about one-third what they are now, yet it required only three years to absorb that surplus accumulation. I take it for granted, therefore, that the present surplus will he absorbed in less than one year. I feel so confident of the future that I would prefer that my com pany sell no copper at all this month. It is now quite apparent that about all ot the leading producing companies are curtailing their outputs from 5 to 10 per cnt. The Kutte mines put out only about 5a per cent, of their normal product last month, the switchmen's strike having made it necessary to close down (he Bos ton •.Montana concentrators and smelt er, and to discontinue production at sev eral of the Amalgamated mines. Mean while the. demand for copper wire, which was dull during the greater portion of last year, has become very active. With in three or four months, therefore, the surplus should be so reduced as to lose its importance as a factor. Day’s Financial News and Gossip. Boston, Jan. It, 1910.

Legislature Repeals Act Making a Legal Fight Imperative. Providence, R. I., Jan. 14.—In order that the state of Rhode Island may escape embarrassing consequences from the act rushed through in the linal hour of the last Legislature Compelling the state to accept more than a half million dollars worth of bonds of the state of North Carolina and to sue the latter state for payment of the coupons on these bonds, the House today unanimously voted to re peal the act. The House also unanimously adopted a resolution directing Gen. Treas. Walter A. Read to return the bonds in question to the state of North Carolina. The re peal and the resolution both were intro duced by Rep. Harry Cutler of Provi dence. When the two measures reached the Senate the matter was already under dis cussion in that body. Senators Arnold of Westerly and W. H. P. Bowen of Providence both proposed measures for the return of the bonds and also giving the governor discretionary powers in the matter of accepting future gifts to the state. The whole matter was finally re ferred to the judiciary committee. No op position was expressed to the repeal of the law and the return of the bonds to North Carolina. In response to criticism by several senators of the action of the last Legisla ture in passing the act, Senator Oscar A. Bennett of Woonsocket explained that the legislators had been given to under stand that this was simply a gift to the state from some public spirited citizen for the purpose of metropolitan park im provement.. The bonds were presented to the state by the committee of North Carolina bond holders of New York. The bonds were issued in 186S-9 by the "Carpet Baggers” for the purpose of railroad exploitation but it is alleg ed that North Carolina did not make proper returns. There are some $13, OOO.ftOO worth of these bonds held by people living in various sections of the country. Suits by individuals against states are prohibited, but the attempted collection in the case of Rhode Island was made mandatory by the law. Governor Kitchins of North Carolina writes that many of the bonds were issued in the name of his state by plunderers just after the Civil War. LINCOLN SOMERVILLE.

President Taft lias again taken up the role of peacemaker. Maine farms can be made to pro duce more cattle. One way to boost Maine is to give more attention to that industry. A Cincinnati car cleaner worked a week with a broken rib. It must be that be needed that extra week’s pay more than usual. The Maine Sires Futurities promises to awaken new interest in Maine horses. It is another and most efficient way to boost Maine. Washington is going to have a wire less telephone. The insurgents can h“ar trouble coming their way with out even the wireless. Wouldn't the Democrats be happy if Boston was as unanimously Demo cratic as the returns from the munici pal election seem to indicate? The white slave dealers are scurry ing for shelter, but it is evident that the law is sufficiently strong to get them, wherever they are found. With the heiress in a iiospital and the hero in jail the eloping of the Philadelphia girl and a hotel waiter seems to have ended disastrously. Evidently the mail who wrote the alleged confession of Kay Lamphere, the alleged murderer of Mrs. Gunness and tier three children, did not profit by tlie experience of Dr. Cook. Gaynor's course thus far has been most unusual for a Tammany official. No wonder Charlie Murphy finds the atmosphere a little chilly around tlie New York municipal building. I mmm- i The New York policemen who have exercised their clubs too freely have been called upon to use more discre tion. Somebody from New Jersey must have been making a complaint. The man who thought lie was gu Ing *o die and passed the hat among his friends to get enough for funeral expenses must have thought that it would he worth something to his friends to have him out of the way. Doubtless lie was correct. It lias been discovered that the Murphy letter that Hearst printed was recovered from the waste paper Inken from a hotel and the pieces 'carefully put together again. Such patience and energy exerted in tlm i Iglil direction, might work wonders. After rending the stuff Roberta De Janoo wrote and called poetry, we are more than ever inclined to lie charitable to that Austin chap. We had thought that his work was the worst possible, but it seems that he Was really fairly proficient. Out In Indiananolis it is proposed to revoke the licenses of saloon keep ers who persist In keeping open for business on Sunday Then the li censes will he re-issued to others who will do th> same tiling. Tile thing to revoke is the right to issue licenses at nil. Tlic baseball players who delivered "•lie goods" last season are now derid ing bow nmeh of n raise tljey can get. The fellows who did not succeed so well are wondering how much of a cut down they will have to stand. Thus do the "slaves" dicker as to the con ditions of their servitude. A few men in Kngland have seen the folly of free trade for some time, hut it has remained for the leaders in the present campaign to place it be fore the people in an attractive form. Whatever the result of the elections, the English people are sure to feel more kindly toward protection than ever before. The annual midwinter number of the Los Angeles Times, which has reached this office is a splendid ex ample of what pluck, energy and high ideals can accomplish. It sets forth the attractions of Los Angeles In a splendid manner and almost makes one willing to give up the glories of n M.Vne winter to enjoy them. The Boston Post yesterday printed a picture of a policeman rescuing a girl from the wrecked Brighton tele phone exchange. A lot of husky young men from Maine would apply fur positions on the Boston police force if they could get a chance to per form that sort of work about twice a week. The oafy objectionable fea ture is the eilinerg. It might make trouble for married men. Virginia's Awakening. The Virginia legislature, lias con vened and the retiring governor Hon. Claude A. Swanson in addressing the legislators of that state gives voice to the new spirit with which the older states of the union ha'-e become im bued. It has been the fashion to con sider Virginia as a decadent state. This is by no means in line with the conditions which exist there. Virginia has plodded along jjuietly in its own way, true to its traditions, and firm in its purpose to grow substantially though slowly. The quickening influences which have been felt throughout the East in the last year or two have upset the old conservatism however and Virginia is now entering upon an era of expan sion and progress which is more in keeping with its natural advantages. Whereas in the past she has advanced but slowly though surely, the evidence now at hand indicates that the imme diate future will develop a more spec tacular growth. “The amazing educational ad vance.” said Gov. Swanson, “the splendid public school buildings now adorning every section; the increased health and comfort of the people; the great improvement in agriculture and the varied indus tries of the state; the increased ef ficiency of the state rnilita; the marked improvement in the con dition of jails, almshouses and oth er eleemosynary institutions; the greatly increased value of all prop erties bear testimony to the stimu lating influence of these wise acts of legislation and of the great and manifold benefits they have brought.” The governor then goes on to show that Virginia practically escaped the i financial depression which was felt throughout the country in 11)07 and 190S. He proves this by quoting fig ures from the state’s revenues showing that those of the last two years ex ceeded those of the two previous years by $916,000.10, though there has been no increase in the rate of taxation. That portion of the message which treats of th0,j)0h to be expen ded in those counties which had not mjoyed the benefit of the convict road ’orco during the year and conditioned upon the counties furnishing an equal imount to that provided by the state. This half million lias enabled tile state if Virginia to begin a “broad, progres sive and far-reaching policy of road improvement. Under its stimulating influence a deep enthusiastic influence in road betterment has been created In every section. When it is remem bered that this act furnishing state aid has been operative less than one year, the results achieved are indeed won SUNNY SOL: JiogelologisL THE SEASONABLE POET I wrote a song: "The Snow! The Snow!” the editor cried "Slush!” (which only goes again to show the public ask for mush.) When young. I strove to sell my verse with light and happy heart. The editors they scowled, and worse, they asked me for a chart. I wrote the "Paean of the Dew” and spoiled three pairs' of boots in lobbying the lyric through—and all 1 got was hoots! I wrote All Hail the Happy Hail,” and lo! the rabble-rout. they had me nipped and put in jail, and wouldn't let me out. I wrote "I Love the Gentle Wind” and strove to traffic it. the sanctum mutts, a crew unkind, they ever grumbled "git!” But when Alphonso donned his crown in grandee-cluttered Spain. I sold a verselet—mark it down!—a verselet called "The Reign.” SOL SIMPSON. (jcrful. The work accomplished has fcr exceeded tlie expectations of the most sanguine. It lias distributed its benefits justly and fairly to all parts of tiie commonwealth. The law has been proven a practical success and has e< ased to be an experiment.” Efforts to procure the adoption of convict labor on Maine roads has here t< fore been unsuccessful. While there is no ccitainty that because Virginia has successfully used this system, it would be equally successful in Maine, Swanson's view of the subject, which should not be overlooked. Boston’s Reformation. The concensus of opinion seems to be that Boston’s effort to reform has signally failed. Under the old char ter the business men with a candidate as strong as Storrow might have elect ed him. Certainly their chances of electing him were no greater under the new charter. The result is to be deplored, in that the mayor-elect will hold office four years. Machine poli tics were not eliminated in any way. It simply marked the rise of the in dividual machine as against the party machine. There was but one Republican in the list of four candidates, Mr. Hib bard. He received a very small vote. This is ascribed to the fact that J. J. Storrow, the business man's candidate, although personally a Democrat, in 'he campaign, stood for a business ad ministration. That he was not elected is to be regretted. He stood for some thing better than a mere desire to hold office. Ketorm candidates lor office are pe riodically successful in getting elected but are almost uniformly unsuccessful in inaugurating reforms which be come permanent. That is not the fault of the reform candidate. It is the fault of the people who elected him and then failed to support him in his work after election. It is not a ques tion oi' form of ballot or charter so much as a question of conscience. The electorate which is sufficiently inter ested in municipal affairs to keep in touch with them thoroughout the term of office of the city’s chief executive, whoever he may lie, are performing [heir whole duty. Those who consider that they have favored the candidate by leaving business long enough to rote on election day, have not perform ed their whole duty and on them rests the blame for the irregularities in mu nicipal government. IJoston had a wave of reform when t elected Mayor Hibbard, but the de sire to be good was not deep enough to last throughout his term of olfice. It is significant that Hibbard did not receive two per cent, of the vote of the “successful candidate or above one per cent, of .he total vote. It may be that Storrow would have been equally un fortunate, but Storrow’s (business in terests and his career up to this time, have been such as to indicate that the result would have been somewhat dif ferent. In any event Fitzgerald is elec ted, and has four years in which to work his will in the municipal affairs of the city of Boston. The condition of the city at the end of his term is the one answer he can make to his critics. It is unfortunate that the answer is to be delayed so long. Under the circum stances those who have the best in terests of the city of Boston at heart can but wait the outcome and hope for the best. The Boston man who discovered that one of the eggs he bought at the cor ner grocery was six years old, will go without in the future.

Boston, Jan. 14.—Two petitions ask ing- recounts of the votes cast in Tues day's election, by which Former Mayor John F. Fitzgerald was apparently elected mayor for four years by a plu rality of 1415 over' James J. Storrow, his nearest opponent, and George A. Hibbard, the present mayor, and Na thaniel -H. Taylor were filed here late this afternoon. One petition was filed on behalf of Mr. Storrow, who asks a recount of the vote cast for himself. The other was filed for Mr. Fitgzer ald, who asks a recount of the vote for all candidates. The recount will prob ably be made next week. Each of the petitions carries, in ac cordance with the law, the signatures of 50 or more voters from each of the 25 wards ir. the city. Mr. Storrow, whose managers, after taking out recount petition blanks an nounced that they had given up the matter, was induced to call for a re count through requests made by hun dreds of his friends, by letter and tele phone. The majority of those who thus appealed to him declared that their observations of conditions in the pre cincts where they voted led them to believe that a re-count would prove of advantage to him. Several hundred ballots were challenged, jparticularly in Ward 8, the bailiwick of Martin Loinainy, one of Fitzgerald’s strong est supporters. In this vfard, it is said, there^were nearly if not quite 200 chal lenges. Mr. FitzgeraM> who says that he feels confident that the recount will not affect his plurality 'materially, pe titioned for a recount. COP*! PJGHT /anty V DRUDGE Johnny Knows What’s White. Teacher—“Now, children,do any of you know anything as white as this beautiful snow we have this morning?” Little Johnny— “I do, Teacher. It’s our white clothes when mama washes them with Fels-Naptha. They’re just as white as white can be. Anty Drudge—‘ l guess Johnny is right, Miss Teacher. Washing with Fels-Naptha in lukewarm water will make white clothes as white as snow and it saves his mother loads of work.” Fels-Naptha acts on dirt like sunshine on a bank of snow—only quicker. Fels-Naptha actually dissolves the dirt while soaking in lukewarm water. Boiling only softens dirt and leaves it for you to hard-rub out on the washboard. That’s one reason why Fels-Naptha is so much superior to the wash-boiler way of washing. Another reason is that you have no steam in washing with F’els-Naptha. No steam to fill your kitchen like a Turkish bath and give you a bad cold if you step outside for a minute. No steam to redden your face and chap your hands. Still another reason is that the Fels-Naptha way saves your clothes. Boil ing weakens woolens, cottons or linens and hard-rubbing wears them into holes. None of this when washing with Fels-Naptha. Clothes last twice as long. Use Fels-Naptha for flannels, woolens and colored goods as well as white clothes. Be sure to get the genuine Fels-Naptha, use only lukewarm water, and follow direc tions on the red and green wrapper. CAPITAL MOTOR. Capital Marine Gasoline Motors Send for Illustrated 1910 Catalog.

Next Meeting of Governor and Council Tuesday, Jan. 25, at 10 A. M. From reports which have been re ceived at the lisli and game depart ment it votild seem that there is a strong possibility thai the mysterious “varmints” which created ouite a scare about two years ago in that section of Cumberland county in which is located the town of Gray, be cause of two of them having been seen to drag down and kill a deer on .the ice of Little Sebago lake, had re turned to that locality and resumed their slaughter of the deer tribe. At the time of the above incident the animals were reported to be wolves, but us the indentification was of a long-distance nature it was not strictly positive. It was close enough however to create a wolf scare in that section and to cause the owners of stock to put an extra lock or two on their tie-up doors and sheep sheds, and the hunters to get out their trusty 45-Ws ami to take to the tall timber, swamps and rock-ribbed ridges, and to any other places which we re con sidered favorable locations for the lair of the marauders. That the animals were really wolves there was but little doubt-at that time. Oil the d IV tin t they ran down the deer oil the ice Feb. 17. litOS, they suffered tile one who saw them to uppr inch comparati vely close before they gave up the enjoyment etheir feast and (led to the woods. It was believed at (lie time that the animals were wolfs, and some foundation for the belief was found in the report that two wolv. the animals were 1-two Kskimo dogs which had escaped f from Katie Island ia t'aseo bay.

Few Doses Make Out of-Order Kidneys Fine. Mosl Severe Backache Will Vanish Before You Bealize. Pape’s Diuretic Promptly Ends Bladder and Urinary Misery. The most effective and harmless way to cure backache and regulate out-of order kidneys, or end bladder trouble, is to take several doses of Pape’s Diu retic. You will distinctly feel that your kidneys and urinary organs are being cleaned, healed and vitalized, and all the miserable symptoms, such as back ache, headache, nervousness, rheuma tism and darting pains, inflamed or swollen eyelids, irritability, sleepless ness, or suppressed, painful or frequent urination (especially at night) and other distress, leaving alter taking the first fiw doses. The moment you suspect any kidney or urinary disorder, or rheumatism, begin taking this harmless preparation as directed, with the knowledge that there is no other medicine, at any price, made anywhere else in the world, which will effect so thorough and prompt a cure as a lifty-cent treat ment of Pape’s Diuretic, which any druggist can supply. Your physician, pharmacist, banker or any mercantile agency will tell you that Pape, Thompson Pape, of Cin cinnati, is a large and responsible med icine concern, thoroughly worthy of your confidence. Don’t be miserable or worried an other moment with a lame back or clogged, inactive kidneys or bladder misery. All this goes after you start taking Pane’s Diuretic, and in a few days vou feel and know that yrur kid neys, liver and urinary system are healthy, clean and normal, and all danger passed Accept only Pape’s Diuretic—flfty cent treatment—from any drug store— anywhere in the world. of til'- slayer is as much of a mystery as ever there is evidence conclusive that l lie slaughter has been renewed. The evil."lie was round in the woods near Cray a few days ago. in (lie man gled einains of a deer which had been killed by some animal, the strength if the slayer being shown by tin- fact that oil of the kgs of file ileer I ail been om from its body. The one bo found tin: remains of the deer states that tile tracks ef the slayer acre plenty, but he is unable to identify them. They are larger and different from dog tracks, and flu; animal can jump farther than any dog unless possibly a stag bound. He is sure however that the animal was not a bob-cat, but further than t li it he is liable to say what it is.

Dear Sirs: —“I was told of your great remedy, Parisian Sage, that it would grow hair on bald heads, so I got a bot tle and tried it. and it is fine. I am a young man, and only 23, and was com pletely bald on the top of my head, and now I have hair one inch long, with the use of only one bottle. I shall certainly keep on using it until I have a good head of hair, which I have no doubt it will bring.” 09car Armstrong. Engineer. Belleville Horseshoe and Rolling Mill Co., Belleville. Ont., August 21, 1909. To the readers of the Journal The Gir oux Mfg. Co., American makers of Par isian Sage, wish to state that they do not guarantee Parisian Sage to grow hair on bald heads, because in most cases the hair root is dead. In the case of Mr. Armstrong the hair root was not dead, and knowing as we do the astonishing hair growing virtue of Parisian Sage, we see no reason why it should not grow hair on the head of Mr. Armstrong. But we do guarantee Parisian Sage (and so does Bowditch. Webster Co.,) to stop falling hair, dandruff, and itch ing scalp, in two weeks, or money back. Parisian Sage is a daintilv perfumed hair dressing, not sticky or greasy, and is used extensively by ladies who desire brilliant and luxuriant hair that attracts and fascinates. Large bottles, 50 cents, at druggists everywhere, and tit Bowditch, Webster Co.’s. Sold and guaranteed in Waterville by The Dorr Drug Store, and in Gardiner by Jackson Bros._ TRADE REVIEW. Gold, Seasonable Weath er Helps Winter Goods. January Level ot Prices of Commodities Makes Record. Exports of Corn and Wheat Much Lower Than Last Year. New York, Jan. 14.—Bradstrect’s Slate of Tri.de tomorrow will say: Reports as to trade and transportation reflect variations of weather irregular ity affecting sales and movement of farm products anad coal supplies and of spring goods to various markets. Retail trade in winter goods iias been helped as a whole by cold, stormy weather and the «usual Jannary price revisions. A very fair volume of re-or ders is report'd by jobbers, while the volume of orders for spring reaching wholesale houses front travelers is fairly good. Indoor industries seem to be actively employed, notably iron and steel and shoe manufacturing and oth er lines are generally active on orders or specification's' previously hooked. The January level of prices of com modities has broken all records. For the week the cerekls affected by short ened movement are strong or higher, corn, of which there is still reported very much in the field, leading in strength. Copper is firmer on the week, largely i n a decrease of over 11,000,000 pounds in stocks as of Jan. t, hut toward the close of the week, the undertone became weaker on real ization salis by speculative interests. Demand is light and although there is no pressure to buy. there is likewise no pressure to sell. Wheat, including flour, exports from the t nited States and Canad for the week ending Jan. 13, as reported by telegraph to Br.idstreet's aggregate 5, 077.1X5 bushels, against 3.210.820 this week last year. For the 28 weeks end ing Jan. 13 exports are 93,590.419 bush els against 120,939.517 last year. Corn exports for the week are 1,502.866 bush els against 1,590,293 in 1909. For the 28 weeks ending Jan. 13, corn exports are 11.•>66.513 bushels, against 13,500,508 bushels last year. Business failures tor the week end ing with Jan. 13. were 231 against 271 last week; 319 in the like week of 1909: 413 in 190S; 23.4 in 1907 and 279 in 1906. Canadian trade conditions continue on a sound basis. Travelers are meet ing with success in booking spring or ders, and at the same time they are receiving a fair number of re-orders. Wholesale dry goods houses are doing very well as legates new business in cotton goods, which fact is the more noteworthy in view of the heavy or ders placed last fall and the current high level of prices. Business failures for (lie week ter minating with Thursday number 44, which compares with 29 for the like week of 1909. BOWDOIN COLLEGE. First of the Three College Teas Given Friday Evening.

There are not less than TWENTY different oatents on this instrument so that its peculiar features can not be found in any other Piayer. It plays ALL FOUR KINDS OF MUSIC ROLLS, which no other Player on the market can do, and in FIVE DIFFERENT KEYS. It has so many advantages that it is in a class by itself.

Atwood, an attorney for the Swope family today when asked as to the steps that will be taken in con nection with the examination of the vital organs of Col. Thomas H. Swope, the aged philanthropist, who died sud denly Oct. 30. Death was at first at tributed to apoplexy, but a ost of living of the working classes ror the pr,.portion of taxation paid b> hern, but it will e. able us to reduce In- pr> sent taxes on articles of work ng class consumption and develop our trade with British dominions beyone tire seas.” Mr Balfour also issued a brief man ifesto under ins own signature saving: "This is an election whose far-reaching importance no man can measure. The results may be for good or for evil, nust affect the employment of our peo people, the security of our shores anil tile greatness of our empire. Alay evtry citizen act as knowing that on airn in part depends the issue of this great controversy.” Mr. Lloyd-George in his final nies -age says: "I hope t! at the British electors will ■stand 1>>- the privileges nobly won by nir ancestors and refuse to barter dthcr the freedom of our institutions >r commerce for the iness of thin pot rage offered by the Protectionists." In an election speech at Islington to light John Burns predicted that the icxt revolution would arise in the 'nited States owing to class antag onism due to the Protectionist sys tem.

WITH FIRM HAND King Alfonso of Spain Rules the Situation And Also Does Much Toward Squelching Incipient Revolt. High Officials Removed and Others Implicated Under Arrest. Madrid, Jan. 14.—King Alfonso, sit ting as the president of the cabinet, ruled with an iron hand in an endeav or to straighten out the internal troubles threatened by revelations printed in a military newspaper which had tor their purpose engendering bad blood between the army and the gov ernment over the distribution of honors among the troops in Morocco. This fact leaked out today when it became known that His Majecty sanctioned the instant removal of Count De Villar, captain general of Madrid, and the captains-general of Valladolid, Corrun na and Valencia and ordered the arrest of other officers implicated in the af fa ir. The newspapers justify the prompt and stringent methods taken to put down the conspiracy, which it is be lieved bad broader ramifications than tlie mere resignation of the ministry and extended even to an attempt to foment at Carlisle uprising under the redoubtable Don Jaime, the pretender to the throne. Madrid, Jan. 14.— Prince Pignatelli, alleged to have been involved in the recently discovered plot through which the Conservatives are said to have aimed to embroil the army with the government, was arrested today. The Liberal press strongly approves the energetic action taken by the gov ernment. The Liberal declares that the measures were severe, but indispensi ble. El Pias says that the plot was de signed to force the resignation of Min ister of War Luque and thus precipi tate the fall of Premier Morety Pren dergast and his cabinet. The articles in the Correspondencia Militar which revealed the plot, were written by Senor Llorens, a Carlist deputy and officers, who used a pseu donym. The issue of the paper was suppressed, whereupon a demonstra tion of army officers was made in front of the newspaper office. The police raided the office and upon the evidence secured the cabinet was hurriedly assembled under the presi dency of King Alfonso, who sanctioned the removal of Count De Villar as cap tain-general of Madrid, and the ar rest of the officers implicated.

When the manager of Peary suggested to me a few days ago that It was my duty to intro duce the explorer, who has announced that he will not lecture anywhere, in big city or small town, for less than $1000. 1 decided that the limit had been reached and declared that I would not be a part of Peary's North pole side-show. Here after I will take part in none of these affairs, and will confine my presiding and introducing to this association.” Portland. iMe., Jan. 14.—"Commander Peary has not asked the mayor of Spring field to introduce him at the Springfield lecture, nor has his manager, for he has no manager," said Charles J.

Not only, however, did he fall below CurtisE’ time, but his machine struck the ground, breaking one of the lower plane tips. Before he retired fof, the day Paul han took Cortlandt Field Bishop, pres ident of the Aero Club of America, as a passenger for a two-lap trip around the course. One of the most important events of the day was an attempt by Lieut. Paul Beck, U. S. A., 'Signal Corps, to drop a bag of ammunition into a measured space from a Curtis bi-plane 250 feet in the air. This experiment was made at the request of Capt. Samuel Bottoms of the Coast Artillery. The idea was to find out whether it would be possible for an airship to drop bombs into gunpits. Curtiss took Beck up to make the test, but the ef fort was a partial failure, because of engine trouble. Another attempt will be made. During the day Curtiss set a new speed record for the course of a mile and a half. His time was 2.12 flat. This is the official record for the course. Roy Knabenshue exceeded his own speed record for the course in his di rigible, making it in 5.10 2-5. GREAT STORM DELAYS BIG OCEAN GREYHOUNDS.
