Aviator Parmalee Falls to His Death, Saturday, Biplane Makes Fatal Plunge In Sight nt Thousands. Unfortunate Man Had Just Ascend ed from North Yokima. Wash. North Yakima, Wa£h., Juno 2. With a smile and a wave of his hand to the thousands who watched him in his aeroplane, Philip Parinalee took the air In the teeth of a gusty west wind here, Saturday. Three minutes later his broken and lifeless body was dragged from beneath the wreckage of his biplane, in an apple orchard, in the lower end of the Moxee valley, two miles from his starting point. The ex act cuuse of his plunge to death prob ably never will be known. As he rose from before tin' grand stand at ,tlie fair grounds I’armalee flew to ttie west over the Yakima river. He rose about 400 feet, and his speed increased to almost a mile a minute, although it was noticed ttiat his plane dipped and rolled and seemed to be controlled with difficulty. "When he lmd gone about two miles from the fair grounds he circled wide ly to the eastward for the return. As he squared away before the wind the great plane cheeked its course, flutter ed a second and plunged below the line of trees. It is thought by Parma lee's mechanicians that a sudden gust from one of the draws or small can yons notching sides of the valley struck the machine and rendered the elevating planes unmanageable. The body of the aviator was taken from iieneath the wreckage of the ma chine by farmers w ho were working in the orchard. His skull was fractured and he must have died instantly. Among the first from the fair grounds to reach the aviator's place of fall was Miss C. K. Turpin, Parnutlee’s fiancee, and sister of J. Clifford Turpin, his partner in aviation. She hysteri cally threw her arms about Parinalee. insisting that he was not dead. Kven after the body hud been examined by physicians she helieved that a spark of life remained and demanded that efforts be made to resuscitate him. "You remember how it was with Hamilton," she repeated over and over again. She refused to leave the body until it was necessary to turn it over to the undertakers. Before he prepared for hia last flight, Parmaiee was urged to postpone the exhibition at least until tbe wind les sened, but he laughed at the persistent misfortune that had dogged aviators for the last week and climbed to his sent. The biplane was so crushed that mechanicians were unable to trace definitely the cause of Its fall. Cos Angeles, June 2.—I.oeai aviators, discussing ttie death or Phil Parmaiee, which occurred, yesterday, were almost unanimous in attributing it to the fact that he was flying a machine to which lie was unaccustomed. Hoy Knabensliue, who managed the af fairs of Parmaiee for a time, said: "It was predicted when Phi! left here he would have trouble witti his home built machine, hut no one dreamed of a fatal accident as Phil was one of the most skilful aviators in the country. "The aeroplanes he and Turpin took north were built here, following the Trac tor model, witli the engine and propeller in front. I’armalee was not accustomed to that type and some of us who saw him preliminary flights felt that the ma chine he used was not properly balanced. There is little doubt in my mind that the imperfect balance of the machine caused Phil’s death." Les Artisans In Convention. Lewiston, Me., June 2.—A two-days convention of Les Artisans Cun&dien Franeaise of New England was open ed here, today, with a parade and ser vices at St. Peter's church. liusiness sessions and a reception will be held, tomorrow.

He was received by a large number of our leading Republicans at the I Commercial ‘'lub rooms and was in troduced by Ids friend, Hon. George H. Hunt the first mayor of the city, for many years agent for the Penob scot tribe of Indians, and by Albert G. Averlll, chairman of the Republi can town committee. Gov.

Orono, Me., June 1- (Special).—Ex Congressman Iturlelgh was in town, today, for several hours. He met practically all the leading Republicans here. He was introduced by Hon. Charles .1.

Kennebunk is not to l>e left behind in its loyalty to one who lias served long and well. That town added 7(* names to the Burleigh petition and there is no question as to whom it will support. Franklin for Burleigh. Phillips, Me., June 1. (Special).— About the only name mentioned here in connection with the senatorial con test is Former Governor Burleigh. He is not only well known and well loved here, but lie is considered the logical candidate. Tills part of Maine is practically solid for Burleigh. A gentleman here from Strong, to day. declared that ilis town is "all Burleigh." Burleigh Far in the Lead. Gray. Me.. June 1.—(Special).

A. M. This is the high est June pitch in recent years and the current is so swift, that all navi gation on the river is attended with difficulty, while log driving up river is both difficult and dangerous.

Bangor, alt*., June 2.—Two hundred ind tifty men, Including mill hands, police, and rivermen, searched all day, today, for Helen Haley, South Brew er's missing girl, but their labors yielded nothing. The woods and fields for miles around South Brewer were carefully gone over, the river bed was diagged and dynamite cartridges were exploded in deep and shoal water all along shore from South Brewer to Or rington, while scores of rumors were Investigated, all to no purpose. The Bangor police Inspector who in vestigated tile case believes that the girl drowned herself and that her body will be found under the logs that are boomed along the South Brewer shore. According to this official, Helen Haley was of quick, impulsive temper, and on tile night of her disappearance she was not in the happy and content ed state of mind that has been de scribed by her father, but nervous and gloomy—a condition caused, it Is be lieved, by a quarrel with Alvah Look, her lover.

Comedy of Errors. The name that Shakespeare gave to his play. ‘'The Comedy of Errors,” would be a lit appellation for the farce that took place between Cony and Hallowed on the Muster field, last Saturday afternoon. The visitors were given run after run by errors, but that is not all. Paine, who has always been Cony’s Nemesis, both in baseball and football, was batted hard, 11 hits being secured off his delivery. On top of this, he was given heart-breaking support in the .field. The day was favorable to baseball and long before the .game was called the grandstand was/Tilled to overflowing by looters for both teams. ChetfH were given lustily by both Hallowed's and Cony’s respective cheering squads and everybody was in a happy frame of mind. At 4 o’clock the game was called, and then the sad tragedy began. Cony se cured three runs in the first inning, while Hallowed failed to get a man across the plate. The game was then without a score until the fourth, when Cony scored two more runs. In the fiftl* Inning, Hal lowed scored a man, while Cony scored none. in the sixth Cony scored two more runs, while in the eighth one more was added. In the last of the eighth Hallovtell scored its last run. The ninth and last Inning saw Cony send three more men across the plate, while Hallo wed received a goose egg. For Cony, Harvey pitched an excellent game, allowing but three scattered hits and fanning 14 of his opponents. Mitch ell caught a good game and his hitting was a feature. Wyer, Marston and New belt were stars of the game, all playing errorless ball and batting like fiends, j Cooper did well at the bat. For Hallowed, W. Niles and Howard played the most consistent game, both finishing the, game minus errors. W. j Niles, Cottle and Gray were the only men able to solve “Chutter” Harvey’s delivery, Niles pushing out a pretty two base hit, and the other two men getting nice singles.

OLD SOUTH CHURCH. Rev. F. V. Stanley, New Pastor, Preaches His Inaugural Sefmon. Rev. Fred V. Stanley, the newly elected pastor of the Old South Congre gational church, preached his inaugu ral sermon, Sunday morning, to a large congregation, ami made a fine impression. Mr. Stanley took his text front Romans i;16— "As much as In Me is, I am ready,” of which the follow ing is a brief synoposis: “There were no halfway measures about the Apostle Paul, lie was a man of victorious (nergy and enthusiasm. Ho lived for one pttritosc and to that purpose lie dedicat’d all his powers, lie moved among men as a mighty pdwer for good and by the resistless force -of his enthusiasm led many to accept Christ. Here lies the secret of spiritual power and all aggressive Christianity. All the men and women who have achieved the grandest results in the world, those who have done most to lift their fellow-men Godward end Heavenward, have been those who, like Paul, have said ‘‘As much as In Mo is, 1 am ready.” Moses, Luther, Knox, Wesley, Lincoln, by their single eyed devotion, accomplished their mighty tasks. ‘As much as in Me is' and the Master came to do the will of His Heavenly Father. Failure will come to the lives of those who allow their energies to fritter away in tran sient pursuits and selfish interests in stead of doing their best, be it much or little for others. "No one of us can perform our larg est work in life unless we have an ideal and strive to attain it. Ideals of unselfishness and wisdom of a life of service, faith, courage, energy and en thusiasm can alone light the dim path way of life, lift our thoughts to the higher levels, set to bounds for our at tainment, rouse our spirits to new ef forts. make us dissatisfied with past accomplishment and spur us on to miger limits, The motive power for this victorious energy and enthusiasm which charac terized the Apostle Paul was love. It has been said that 'the greatest worker is ahva> s the greatest lover.’ No oth er motive can prompt to such heroic ard unflagging' endeavor. Filled with love we shall 1 constrained to cry when hard monotonous tasks day by day confront us, when the call to sefve Hod and our fellowmen Is sound ing- ‘As much as in Me Is, I am ready.* “In coming to take up ray work as vour pastor I shall not endeavor to commend myself to you by promises of large results from my ministry. Deeds are ever more eloquent and more convincing than words, and the actual work I do among you in the future days must prove the sincerity or lack of sincerity with which 1 echo, the words of the great apostle, “As much as in Me is, I am ready” to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and serve this church qnd this community to the full est extent of my powers. My prayer is that you will join me in whole-heart ed enthusiast^. and that under the high ideal of the Master, working to gether In love, we may perform self denying. active service for the welfare of others', and help to build up the kingdom of God in the hearts- of men/’ Daily Kennebec Jitaindl —-^=^*7-^====S Monday, June 3, Ibi2.

New Way of Securing Admission of Guilt From Criminals. What la believed to have been tha first demonstration in a court of jus tice of the Munsterberg theory of criminal defection bv heart pulsation* took place not long ago In a California court. The demons!ration ended in tUo discharge of Arthur Smith, o metal worker, who had been arrested as a suspicious character. The officials believed that the man, who when arrested gave the name of James Smithers, was an ex-convict. Failing in their efforts to identify him through the regular channels, says Case and Comment, they decided to apply the 7*1 unsterberg theory. The theory and the proposed test were explained to the prisoner, who readily consented to be a party to tne experiment. The stethoscope was ad justed and his normal pulse was teste,! and found to be seventy-nine heats a minute. t-riain words were then spoken to the prisoner, who was asked to ropiy to each word with a word suggested hy one asked. Tliia was done for the pur pose of testing the claim ot Frof. M unsterhexg tiiat words spoken to tnen under arrest, especially those pertain ing to the crime with which they might be charged, would cause them embarrassment in answering and would produce accelerated action of the lseart. The word San Quentin, where the prisoner was suspected of having serv ed a term, caused no acceleration of tne heart and demonstrated his inno cence according to the theory. When interrogated as to his assumed name of Janies Sm it hers his heart ac tion increased to ninety-one beats a minute. On being charged with not having told the truth in this partic ular the prisoner gave his correct name and address. If an actual photograph of the heart action is desired it may be obtained by tlie aid of a machine which Dr. K. A. Newton, a German scientist, is said to have invented. It portrays accurately the pulsations of the heart muscles and tlie action of tlxe valves and discloses all irring on the floor iu an unconscious condition. He was taken to the hospital, where his name, was placed on the dange'ous list. It is sata that the lad had teen In the habit of going into the stable and tormenting the hordes with a whip.

That the harmonious and brilliant tints In the geysers and hot spring pools are due mainly to vegetation is one of the interesting statements made in a publication entitled "The Geological History of Yellowstone Na tional Park,” just issued by the de partment of the interior. Algae flourish equally well in the waters of all geyser basins and on the terraces of Mammoth hot springs. Wherever these boiling waters cool to the tem perature of 185 degrees algous growths appear, and by the lowering of the temperature on exposure to air still more highly organized forms gradual ly corfle in. It is said that at about 140 degrees the conditions are favor able for the rapid growth of several species. The development of plant life at such excessive temperatures and on a scale of such magnitude seems a marvelous thing. Nowhere else can this be seen so well as In tht' Yellowstone park. As the water in shallow pools t hills rapidly, corresponding changes in color follow. On the outer edge cer tain colors prevail, and In the cooler overflow channels still other colors predominate. In a geyser basin the tirst evidence of vegetation in an overflow si ream consists of cream' white filamentary threads passing into light tie h lints and then to deep salmon. With distance from tiie source of heat the predominating col ors pass front bright orange to yel low, yellowish green and emerald and in the still cooler waters various shades of brown. The marvelous colors In the Grand canyon of the Yellowstone are mainly due to mineral matter, the pigments being derived from the lavas. Along the base of the canyon thermal and solfatarlc agencies have been at work through long ages, slowly but steadily decomposing the rhyolite rock that forms the walls. Ifpon the but tressed wails and sculptured amphi theaters tints of green and yellow are intermingled with red, the colors be ing blended with singularly har monious effects. From the roaring turbulent river af the bottom to the somber green forests at the top, the abrupt walls seem aglow with color. This publication contains an ac count of the geologic forces that have caused th,- wonderful natural feat ures that have made the Yellowstone famous throughout the world. It is illustrated by photographs of some of the principal features of the park, and is written in lion-technical language so that It may be readily understood h.v persons without expert training.— Christian Kcierice Monitor.

Armed with a permit from the state of MaHM.it'ijnsf i is tu catch 100 hum ming birds this summer, Miss Kather ine 10. Do 1 hear, a student at Clark Cul vers it y, at Worcester, Mass., will try to domesticate these little birds, and In so doing will bestow a boon on the greenhouses; for if domesticated the birds will be set loose in greenhouses to take care of the insects that infest plants, and to aid in cross-fertilization. Miss Dolbear lias already done some important work with humming birds, but this summer her little captives— the full hundred if she is able to snare that many—will be watched in cages big enough to include small trees and many growing flowers. The university has given Miss Dolbear space for her experiments, and already flower seeds have been planted in tbe cages so that the birds may be studied under as nat ural conditions as possible. It is of greatest Importance, if the birds are to be domesticated, that they breed in captivity, and mis especially Miss Dol bear will work for this summer. Previous to this time Miss Dolbear has watched three birds in captivity and studied their food and habits. She gave them spiders and pomace flies to eat raising the flies herself from de fraying fruit, and discovered that a tiny bird weighing only four grams could eat ten grams of honey, a day. She also discovered that the bird slept with I its long beak pointed In the air instead *<of tucked under its wing in the manner of most birds. All of her birds, si** says, had a de cided individuality and one daintily took its bath every morning from a gladiola blossom. “Outdoors you will find these birds bathing on the dew drops on the leaves," she said. The manner in which Miss Dolbear enticed these three bitds to walk into her parlor sounds almost like a fairy tale. Noticing a bird flying about among the flowers, she put a bottle of sweet water in the garden, with a nas turtium serving as a stopper for the bottle. In a short time, the bird dis covered the sweet feast, and sunk its bill deep down in the blossom into the bottle. Then Miss Dolbear began to gradually tear oft the petals of the blossom, until the day arrived when the bottle was left without its flower stop per. But the humming bird had learn ed by this time that sweetened w'ater was in the bottle, and went unhesitat ingly to it for its drink. Then the bot tle was removed to a window sill, and the bird followed it there. At last the bottle was brought inside the room and the bird came in and be came a eaptive The process is called taming by the "bottle habit." In connection with this bottle habit Miss Dolbear conducted a little experi ment as much for her own pleasure as for any scientific value it might pos sess. She put four bottles on the window' sill, each with a different kind of sweetened wat*-r. The bird tried them all, decided he liked the honey W'ater best, and on all subsequent trips pass ed scornfully over the other bottles un til he came to his honey and water con coction. The tremendous strength of the hrea&t muscles in comparison w'ifh its j size is one of the observations which j Miss Dolbear made of her captive birds, j this muscular ^trei)gth being needed for the constant fluttering which the bird keeps up in order to maintain its balance when dipping honey from a flower. This fluttering, by the way, is kept up at such a speed that at present there is no camera quick enough to catch it, so humming bird pictures tak 1 n when the bird is poised over a flower are invariably blurred and indistinct. The difficulties which Miss Dolbear will meet in catching her birds this ^summer are many. They are so fragile that she dares not commission any one to snare them for her, for fear the tiny i bird will be crushed by a clumsily man aged net. ‘‘And the birds are far too scarce," she says, "for a single little life even to he sacrificed." The ruby-throated species is the only i kind east of the Mississippi, although [there are about 500 kinds on this con tinent. There are none at a!! in the oth j er continent. High winds, a sudden cold wave, or I a sharp rainstorm is often fatal to the little birds, and these things account j somewhat for their rarity. But com j niercial purposes are also exterminat I ing them, for in South America their bright feathers are used for gay pic ture cards, and in Mexico they are be ing killed in order that their feathers may be sent to France for the manufac ture of dainty, wonderful shoes. The birds begin to go north in the middle of May, and it is in that month that Miss Dolbear hopes to get the greatest number. Although the little innifc-' «I|«- nan, uirj Uiicu north as Labrador. In spite of the fact that Miss Dolbear has been advised that it will be practi cally impossible to produce any new species of permanence she Is determin ed to try this thing at least, for she reasons that if there are BOO species it ought to be possible to so breed them that new species will he forthcoming. “I know hybrids are not fertile/' she says, “but 1 have visions of reproduc ing at least one more beautiful spe- j cies." This work with humming birds is not Miss Dolhear’s first experience with birds, for since she was a little girl she has bncn petting and watching all the members of the feathered creation that she can find. Her fa I her, the late Adolph E. Polbear of Tufts College, a noted physicist, encouraged her to stu dy the birds in a scientific as well as an esthetic wav, and she tells with de light of the chewink that used to come and take breakfast with the family every morning, his saucer being placed on the table with crumbs in it. “YVe used to talk, and he’d talk,” Miss Dolbear says, “and when his little family got big enough he used to bring them along, although he never would let them come in—always made them stay Just oiyside the window.” And then she tells of the owl that became so tame it would follow her about from room to room like a dog, lighting on her chair when she sat down, cuddiing down in her hand and pinching it so in an excess of affection that she had to urge it to hop off. She lias also experimented with hats and has had them hang gently to one finger while she was writing, or pry inquisitively around In her desk. Lit* tie monkeys she has also made compan ions, learning some of their words so that she could talk with them.

There is a great demand for an ertvelope e impossible to supply the .demand. Tilts safety envelope is protected by a broad United States patent and a United States patent is the most per fect form of monopoly recognized by law. The following letter of endorsement was from the late* evCovernor John F. Hill, Maine's greatest business man. Governor Hill used millions of envelopes in his business yearly. January 26, 1912. v Mr. Roland W. Brown. Augusta, Maine. My. dear Mr. Brown: “Your safety envelope is the best thing of the kind that I have1 ever seen. It seems to me to meet every require ment perfectly, and should have a large and steady sale wften you get ready to put it on the market. I don’t see how it can possibly be improved.” Yours very truly, y JOHN F. HILL. W e believe our envelope business is the finest proposi- tion that has ever come to the*State of Maine. 'Hie envelope is an article of necessity which all the people are using all the time and it can be used but once when a new one is required. When the announcement of the formation of our com pany was made by the newspapers of the country, letters began to come in at,once from tlv wholesale jobbers in the large cities, which are trade centers, such as Haiti more, Md., Detroit. Mich., etc. asking for samples and prices in large quantities. 1 hese are but a few of the indications which show the tremendous trade which awaits us. I hesc letters are now on tile and will be shown to any one interested.

Me soon filled out his list and then began the gigantic task of trans porting logs and ship building materi als across the. isthmus on tlie bare backs of the Indians, i It was not a route that even a hard ened pedestrian's club would have cho ,sen for a hike, and the poor natives, with their enormous burdens, soon de cided that it was much worse than What General Sherman afterward said war was. They floundered through swamps hanging on to their heavy loads so that it was impossible to slap mosquitoes with either hand, and the Spaniards kindly volunteered to walk alongside find keep the stinging pests off with heavy whips. A great many mosquitoes were lulled in’this manner, besid s ‘2,000 Indians. But the task masters suffered, too, and many a tine Spanish lad in full armor went cursing deliriously into the murky depths of the swamps, hoping to find coolness for his fevered head under the green scummed waters. After many months materials for four brigantines had be'en carried across and put together, but they were never to be used by Balboa, for Governor ji Pedrarirts, a rival in the exploring busi l ness and Intensely jealous of Balboa’s i increasing honors, had him arrest,ios abandoned. After the conquest of Peru all -the gold and other treasure was carted over this road and loaded on ships at Porto Bello for Spain. There was rich picking for pirates in that neck of land, and old Morgan, the notorious, ‘was attracted there with a whole fleet of ships and some thousand of congen ial cutthroats. They sacked little Por to Bello without any trouble and turn ed loose a lot of blood just to warm up i for tbe ruaj; work at Panama later on, but there was much trouble in store for that happy band before reaching this golden goal. i The pirates had expected to forage on the country as they passed overland, hut the Spaniards had been prepared for this visit and had driven every^cow, horse, sheep, pig and chicken far from the contemplated path, liesities remov ing all still-life provisions also. No one but pirates of the most pronounced type with rum-toughened insides could have stood it, but these individuals were all of that, and on the ninth day, after 1^ light lunch of shoe leather and musket straps, they mounted the lust -ridge of hills in a very petulant..mood and sighted Panama the Golden, glit tering In the sunlight and (Oh, gastro nomic gljpy! i surrounded by green fields filled with grnatng cattle. Down rush ed tile avalanche of mangy pirates; the cattle were slaughtered and eaten raw without any regard to choice cuts, as even hair and hide were considered ten der pickings after'a week's diet on straps and shoes. The city was a beautiful place, but not built to receive ami entertain pi rates in the most approved warlike manner. The citizens had prepared, in a way, by burying most of the treasure and sending; a galleou load out to sea, before the visitors arrived, but the place could not hold out against such a furious and Informal attack as Mr. Morgan and his asset iates made, and soon fell prey to them. Mr Morgan had not chosen his men with any re gard to refinone nt. and they burst boorishly into private houses without knocking or even stopping to wipe their feet on ••Welcome" nun husk doormats, killed whole families whom they had never been introduced to, looted the premises and rushed off without so much as “thank you.” Old Panama never was rebuilt, but its ruins still stand to serve as grim calling cards of Mr. Morgan and his jolly boys, long since gpnc to their eternal discomfiture. Charles V. had a great notion of cut ting a canal through in his time and ordered a survey for that purpose but the engineers, after floundering un gracefully about in a swamp, where there was a large collection of perfect ly unrestrained alligators and other reptile^ on exhibition, sent in such a discouraging r port that Charles de cided to leave lie* contract to the Unit ed States. Philip II did not inherit his father’s canal-digging disposition, not that he thought it would be a hard job, but he reasoned that hostile vessels, as well as his own, might get through and prey on the rich Peruvian possessions of Spain.

The expedition was, indeed, a howling suc cess. The party suffered greatly from i fosquito bites around the knees, and ull got down With chills and fever, so that between chattering tooth and rich Scotch digltct Jt was almost impossible to understand any of them trying to de-eribo tie ir symptoms* during the morning chill peridtt. On top of all this trouble they were attacked by the Spaniard whose sense of humor they could not understand at all and such persons as w. re h i t of the- expedition tirally packed up and went back to Scotland, wnere their circle of friends was much larger. In 1X1-4 a general revolution occurred which took all the isthmian territory away from Spain. Revoluting is, alter all, nothing more than a fad but ir. this case it grew to be a fixed habit, which lias not been overdome to this day. .lust as soon as the little Central American repub!hx sprang up they rec ognized the possibility of a canal as a tremendous financial asset, and began to display their Separate superior ad vantages as canal sites and dicker with the big Powers and individuals for the sa|p of rights. Nicaragua had a route and Mexico another. In lxju Aaron II Palmer, of New York, secured rights, and was going to put through the whole Panama deal to completion for $>,000,000. Very lucky for his pocket book that the work never was started. In the same year the English sent John Rally to look over the project, but Aaron got ahead of him. Soon after this the French became intensely interested and Ferdinand de Eosseps undertook the task of forming a canal company. He made lengthy ges ticular speeches, making tours at home and abroad, and finally' created so much excitement that work actually started on the canal under French control in the yeaf 1881. The first thing done was to install plenty of' cafes, dance halls and Paris Latin quarters on the canal site to keep the digging proposition from becoming too monotonous. Work ing hours were from 10 A. M. until 2 P. M with two hours off for lunch. Tne company dissolved after spending $100,000,000. One-third was spent on the canal, one-third wasted and one third stolen. How a present-day fin ancier would hold up his hands in com mercial horror at not spending one third on the canal and stealing two tliirds, Instead of wasting any at all! He might consider that spent on the canal a- wasted, too. After this the United States plainly saw that if the canal was to be built it would have to be pushed by American enterprise and energy. Years of dick ering followed with the Republic of Co lombia and the wilted French company but at last, after the expenditure of much moneys and loads of diplomacy, seasoned with a little forceful persua sion, in the form of a carefully pre pared revolution and a new' republic— tlrat of Panama, all rights were secured and real work commenc&d in 11*01. Instead of establishing dance halls *nnd beer gardens, the Government took up sanitary measures, and by' a system of sewerage and good drainage, sanita ry buildings and, excellent medical headquarters, made it quite a nice place to work in, and robbed it altogether of i i the old pestilential reputation. The buying of the French rights was not a total loss for the French did quite a hit of good work. While the snow shovels and other freak machinery, which sorn* clever gentlemen sold to De Uesseps, hardly suited our requirements in the Zone, much good material was acquired and is being utilized. Every one knows what is going on now; how the great undertaking, for centuries thought of and planned, is nearing completion. All is assured an far as human power can go—the money Is forthcoming and the plans are prac tical. Perhaps those hardy old spirits of pa.-Jt centuries who made all thi poito ble by their discoveries will be hover ing over to see their dreams realise*I and to take silent part in the opencog ceremonies of the Panama Canal. How Columbus's spirit heart will throb he sees the peaceful merchantmen float ing from ocean to ocean! Balboa narid will be raised in military appreciation as he notes the long ranks of soldiers come to attention! And even old Pirate Morgan will chuckle sardonically in his heart as he spies the big black guns smuggling in their fortifications, ready at all times tc ris° and burst forth with welcome or warning in their Uncle Samuel’s interests.—N.

An English dentist lias discovered that It is not candles but bread that makes the teeth decay! One's mind hesitates between sympa thy for children in general and for poor little Nora in “A I hilt's House," a hose life v.'as made so miserable and whose morals so shaky because the male per son thought her little teeth too pretty to be injured by candy. Sad it is to con sider that all this was in vain. Kipiilly futile the privations of infancy. Says the learned doctor: "Bread rapidly forma lactic acid diming mastication, and this in its nascent state has a powerful decomposing action on tooth tissue. Bread is more responsible than sweets for the decay of teeth in children. The breads that form lactic acid are those made from flours that have had the ferments of the wheat either destroyed or removed during mill ing. When the unimpaired ferments of the wheat are present in the flours the breads produced do not form acid during mastication.” A certain small girl felt not a particl* of emotion at the announcement: "I shouldn't think people would care." she remarked: “I'd Just as soon eat candy as bread, anyway."—N.

When tlds happens the rapidity of vi bration is decreased and hence the volume of sound will suffer. When this becomes noticeable it is a very sitnpio matter to remove the cover from the vibrator box of the horn and tighten up tlte viliraUir screw, which will tie found very easy to get at in any of the modern horns upon the market. Another thing which will often happen in connection with a rough tour is that mud will be tossed into the horn and often will go so far as to lodge on the diaphragm of the horn. This may be readily removed by taking out the projector and clean ing out whatever has made its way in to the interior of the instrument. New Birds in Central Park. Donald Burns, the ornithologist of the Central park menagerie, discover ed a flock of ring-necked mafpies in the park yesterday. Although the vet eran menagerie man has been about the park for many years, he said lie never before had seen a ring-necked magpie in this part of the country. "I’ve seen them much furthe" south." said the ornithologist, "but it bag never been my fortune to see them in Central park before. They come from the Ori noco river region, in South America. Such a long migratory flight tor that kind of bird is most unusua’." The park colony of migrants is larger this year than in four or five years, so Burns said. Last year it was small. Hundreds of persons are in ihe |*«ik every day with opera glasses studying the colony1' which lingers around the jiark for a week or more befoie going further north.

Publish ers. Augusta, Maine. Monday, June 3, 1912 Are Women “Citizens”? A correspondent writes to criticize an edit .rial in the Kennebec Journal, notifying that we are wrong in assum Ing that women are "citizens" although not voters. Tills writer claims that women are not "citizens"—only mem ber of the social body; that they arc not speritkially recognized as "oili zens" by any law of the land. Our friend has probably forgotten that ali en women are made citizens by nat uralization. Let us ask him if natural ized women are citizens and native women are not. Planting Big Tree Seeds. It is gratifying to Amerleans every where to know that there is a possi bility of saving to generations to come such remarkable botanical specimens as the Big Trees of California. The U. S. Department of Agriculture Is sending out press notices telling the country that there is good reason to believe the Big Trees are not to dis appear from tlie earth, as has been the general belief in recent years. The accepted understanding that these giant seguoias are survivals from a past age and that their practical wiping out by forest tires means that within a generation or two of human ity the Big Trees will become a thing of the past, it seems is wrong. Al ready seedlings give good reason to expect a future growth of Big Trees on a moist flat not far from Nevada City and about 2700 feet above sea level. The first seeding was done in 1910 with very successful results and last year an addition area was seeded. But if the seedlings are to be pre served to coming generations they will have to be protected better than have the giants which ages have been growing. 100 Teachers for the Philippines. The U. S. Bureau of' Insular Affairs has lust completed the selection of more than 100 American teachers for service in the Philippine Islands. These young men and women come from the liest universities, colleges arid normal schools in almost every section of the United States and were selected from a larger eligible list of candi dates than ever before applied for po sitions with the Insular branch of the Government service. More than eleven years of our edu cational experiment there has demon strated to those who have investigated the subject tiiat, as a noted educator on his return from the Orient said, "the achievements of the Bureau of Education in the Philippines make as bright and inspiring a chapter of his tory as was ever written,’* and that our Insular service offers an excellent opportunity for honest, energetic and well educated young men to render a most conspicuous service for the Gov ernment and for themselves. It is very gratifying to tire officials to know that there is such an in creasing interest in its Insular posses sions and that it can dei>end upon young clear-brained and clear-minded men of good education.to enter its ser vice and assist in the solution of some of tlie problems which daily confront M Students and travelers in (he Orient in recent years have returned to the United States with the report that the East is to Ire the center of the great est governmental activities of the twentieth renturv and our irosition in the Philippines has made it possible for those on the ground to get an in sight. into these problems and take it very active part in their solution inso far as the participation by the United States government is oncer tied. The development of the American public- school system In the Philip pines, modified to iner t local condi tions. tins been a most remarkable one during the past ten yearss, yet the opportunity for further growth is very great. The organization is still In its primitive period and these hun dred young men who have just sailed from Ran Francisco to add their train ing and experience to the nine thous and American and Filipino teachers already on the ground and familiar with the local situation, will result in a very material advance in tlie per formance of our obligations in the Philippines. Lessons of Calamity. There's a whole volume of truth in a little preachment by an editorial writer of the Buffalo Enquirer, on “Why We Uie In Batches.” One epigram reads: “Make laws, enforce laws, but, outside of that, apply common sense.” The logic is applicable even where we do net “die in batches,” but one by one to add a few' dollars to the pocket of a political boss and a few more to the profits of Uie loose trust. If, In our case, controlling influences y>ould only “enforce laws” or “apply common decency,” there would he much less crime in Maine cities. In Lewiston where the Democratic ideal first reach ed perfection some new thuggery startles the public every fifty. There, not only are Jaws unrecognised, and enforcement sneered at, but neither commonsense nor common decency have any place in I hi political pro scription. Our Buffalo exchange, however, was I dealing with great calamities that come in a bunch and shock the World into attention. It says: Calamity always finds the weak point. Kvery catastrophe reveals some viola tion I law either written law or the law of common sense—sometimes both. It was so with the burning of the General Slocum. It was so with the Newark holocaust. It was so with the Titanic. C ill the roll of memorable sacrifices of human life in recent limes and every one will show that at least much of the sacrifice was unnecessary. All that was needed to have saved many if not all was intelligent law, en forcement of law, or employment of reason without law. Wherefore a very plain lesson ap pears. It is—make laws, but, outside of that, apply common sense. Tlie makers of laws and enforcers of laws wlio interfere with chance-taking are generally regarded as common nuisances. All compulsions to safety are resented The public, itself, gives no encouragement to efforts for its own security. It tolerates carelessness. It Insists on recklessness which makes the moment more comfortable. The faith ful inspector incurs enmity from own ers of boats and buildings and wins no DaoKing irom me people. How many will wait for the next boat willingly rather than overcrowd the going boat? How many will support an officer who shuts off the crowd when a boat has been loaded to its capacity instead of condemning him? How many will turn away from a crowded place of entertainment rather than fill the aisles? How many owners of factories, halls, hotels and stationary or floating struc tures generally'welcome the inspector and heed his directions? Yet. all. when something happens, are bowed with the surprise and grief which weigh down J. Bruce Istuay. F very body who lias sailed the lakes has seen lifeboats secured beyond the possibility of ready release, unswung from the decks from season's end to season's end, ropes rotten or paint-stif fened. crews unfamiliar with fire or wreck drill. Everybody knows buildings of which the chief protection is ever •unreliable good luck. Yet owners will do nothing without compulsion. The officer who applies compulsion soon finds that is not the way (o comfort, popularity and long service. The public, gamblers with iheir own lives, think of everything else before safety. Slaughters are not surprising. They are invited. Now and then they accept tlie long-standing Invitations. Croakers are ridiculed. Correctors are intimi dated. Chaneetakcrs are tolerated. “And the worst of it Is. we like it." Editorial ^Comment. A Question and a Reply. (Lewiston Journal.) The Blddeford Record asks Rev. Mr. Dunnack of Augusta wherein the re publican party of Maine represents any advanced position on the temperance question, as compared with the demo cratic party. Permit us to “butt in.” For a decade before Pialstedlsm-Pattangalllsm, wo had enforcement in Androscoggin coun ty Wo had no major crimes. We had a peaceful city. When men sold liquor they were apprehended and they were brought into court and there tried and sentenced. Today we have absolute “anarchy” in Lewiston, as regards the enforce ment of the liquor laws. The city mar shal and the mayor of Lewiston (the latter of whom is speaker of the Maine House of Representatives) have recent ly addresssed the Lewiston police and unhlushlngly ordered them to “close the rumshops at 10 p. M. (11 P. M. Sat urdays).” The city marshal informed the Board of Aldermen Monday night that a certain petitioner for a victual ler's license "sold booze" and when asked why he didn't raid him said he would do so if an order to that effect should he passed by the Board of Al dermen. The sheriff does nothing to enforce the law. lie decorates his of fice with a few imitation enforcement officials hut never a raid. The rum shops run the eitv. The rum-monopoly controls us exactly as it controls the I'laistod administration. Vice is ram pant. We have had an orgie of crime. The streets are not safe at night. Deeds of violence are on every side. Nobody fears the authorities. There is r.o restraint In the law. RUmsellers are not brought before the Supreme Court tait are permitted to default; settle with the sheriff In vacation at trivial t.nes determined by the county attor ned and thus escape all fear of jail. In short, the democracy lias deliberately put into force a reactionary and retro gressive policy of ils own. It has delib erately nullified law. It has bowed the knee to the rumshop. The saloon domi nates it. The party ps a whole has expended; its greatest effort in “legaliz ing’' the saloon, in short, it has deliv ered itself hand and foot to the Na tional Liquor Interests. It lias been their slave. It called a special session of the legislature to placate them. It has made a fool of itself in its eager loss to serve this imperious master and the farther it goes the deeper it grovels in ihe slime and the sin of the unholy business. Maine should be ashamed of SUCH daminatey. ft should bo ashamed of leaders who go about with pill* tongue and a cheap wit to deride decency and self-respect. And we believe Maine will show its sentiments in September by sinking all other issues and placing herself once again where she belongs— outside the sphere of Influence of the saloon and the monopoly that controls It; outside the rule of these bosses who make a mook of all law and deride all things save the legalised saloon. Revival of the Bryan Boom. (Washington Post.) The latest Bryan rumor is too well authenticated and probable to be tak en idle. The broad intimation that hp is going to try his luck at Baltimore has an importance that well might di vert attention from the opening scenes of the drama at Chicago. The news i from Lincoln is no matter of surprise in Washington, as scorns to bit the case in New York. Two months ago Mr. Bryan was undecided whether to try for tlpe nomination this year or wait until and so advised his trusted lieutenants and advisers—the same who now are in receipt of letters from their chief breaking the news to the party that his tinal decision is to seek the nomination at Baltimore. Judging from the tenor of his letters, Mr. Bry an will enter the lists along with the other Democratic aspirants whose candidacies have been outright. To tlie charge of had faith ttiat is certain to he lodged against him. Mr. Bryan could give a precedent for lumping such a stcji as the only man capable of sav- 1 trig tlie country from the demnition bowwows. That Mr. Bryan’s confidence in Dent in ratio success in November is built upon the prospect for a holt at t'htea gn is more than a surmise. In fact, he was the first man of prominence to predict such an outcome of the O. I’, quarrel, which he did on the occa sion of the birthday dinner given in his honor in March. Too much lies in llic future to lay a hazard at the present time as to the ultimate effect of tlie Bryan candidacy. His coming out at this junction implies his be lief that as against united Republican ranks, no Democrat could hope to win: and, also, that feeling absolutely certain of a bolt, he plumes himself as the one man among all who could prevent tlie progressive element in his party from being stampeded and tlie victory lust in that way. But, of course, Mr. Bryan's reading of the signs is not conclusive. The thundering in the index at Chicago deafening and confusing, to be sure, but can Mr. Bryan and others have forgotten already what resulted under similar circumstances at Saratoga less than two short years ago? And is it by any means certain that the bolting will be confined to the Repub lican party? Mr Bryan’s candidacy may travel over a fearfully rough and rugged road. Water in Canned Goods. (Washington Post.) Overmuch water in canned goods has been banned by the pure food board, a rolling that removes one of the most prolific causes of heartburn ing in the ultimate consumer and at the same time has a special signifi cance for the housewife as showing that all was not lost when Dr. Wiley ceased his vigilance. A quarter of a pound of water, say, at 10 to ir> cents a pound has been one of the Items of toll the public has been paying the packers for lo! these many years, and, as the light is now borne in on us, it seems Inexplicable that the public has been preyed on so long unmolested. Hereafter an excess of water in the canned contents will be deemed an adulteration and subject the goods to seizure and condemnation. Accompanying the decision, the pure food board makes announcement that ils action inaugurates a new policy, one that looks to the adoption of a standard for foods generally. This probably is tiie most Important and comprehensive work ever undertaken by the government in the solution of tiie pure food problem, far exceeding in some particulars tiie installation of the meat inspection service. Once tiie system is got in good working order, however, its enforcement should be come practically automatic and there fore, it ss expensive. The standardiza tion of foods has been effected in Kuropean countries under government supervision, but not until now has the work been taken up in an authorita tive and systematic way in this coun try. A Remarkable Machine. The largest excavating machine ever built is capable of digging a mile of ditch six feet deep and twelve feet wide every day. It is employed in the con struction of canals and laterals com prising an irrigation system to water the 16,000 acres which compose the Cudahy ranch, situated in the imperial valley of Mexico. Tiie conditions are Identical witli those of tlie valley of the Nile, for this ranch is of silt lands built up by the ages of overflow of the Rio Grande. The machine weighs 100, 000 pounds and covers an area of by 60 feet. It is entirely of steel con struction and is propelled by two 30 horse power oil engines. The fore part of (he machine carries the engines which drive a shaft wheel, which in turn, by a series of cogs and chains, propels tiie machine over tiie ground ,and at the same time 'ijh-rates the im mense circular digger carried at the rear. This digger is equipped with scoops bearing sharpened blades of steel. It first picks up the dirt, and re volving upward, drops its burden on to conveyors which carry it to both sides, depositing it upon the banks of the excavation. The machine is so nicely adjusted that it can dig a ditch from two inches up to eight feet in depth and from four to twelve feet wide, shaping and finishing the exca vation as it proceeds. With this ma chine seven men do the work of fifty scraper shovels hauled by 100 mules, with a driver for each team.—Chicago Tribune. OIL ON TROUBLED WATERS. Automatic Apparatus In Bow of Steamer Discharges Calming Fluid. A special automatic apparatus for discharging oil on the sea In stormy vc. atlit-r as a means of subduing tho waves is being manufactured by a British concern. The apparatus consists of a cast iron oil reservoir above a ver tical cylinder. A heavy piston work ing In the cylinder, attached to a tubu lar rod and provided with a spring, ejects the oil onto the water. A hand wheel on the spindle rod is used to case the piston when the cylinder is being filled with oil from the reservoir. The apparatus is mounted in the bow, as shown in the accompanying draw ing. Two small delivery pipes protrude through the bow, one on each side of the stem. The discharge of each pipe is about half a gallon per hour, but this may he varied according to re quirements, density of oil, &c. Oil has been utilized for many years as a means of subduing the waves, and in many Instances has saved vessels from disaster.—IAipular Mechanics. f" 1 Maine Gossip The Climber.

They are J. B. Mit chell of Harmony and Mrs. Aehsah Bean of Shirley, who were burn Oct. 7, 1832, and will therefore be Ml years old in a few months. The) were born in Plymouth, Me., the youngest of a fam ily of 11 children, and when but three years of age went to Shirley (lading with their mother on horseback fol lowing a blazed trail) where they made their home for several years. Hater they went to Dexter, where Mrs. Bean married and lived for some time but has made her home in Shirley for the past 30 years or more. While not actually vigorous, Mrs. Bean is well preserved for one of her years. Mr. Mitchell has lived in Dexter, Newport, Oldtown, Greenville and lor the jiast 30 years in Harmony lie is active and sprightly and would easily be tak en for a man ten years bis junior. According to report the work of de positing fish from the U. hatcheries, tliis spring, has been completed in Maine. Among the places to which try have been sent are Kcnncbunk, Bidde ford, Fryeburg, Richmond, Waldoboro, Bryants Pond, West Bethel and Seba go. Excellent reports had been received from localities to which the tisli fry had been sent. The fish mature quick ly and in all places where the fry have been deposited excellent catches have been made. A careful record is kept of thr streams in which trout are depos ited and the department is in constant touch with them. The car used in this work is in charge of a crew of five or six men and is sent to all parts of the country in the interests of the hatcher ies. The car left Portland for Withe vllle, Va., going direct from Fort land to Washington. It is well fitted for the can- of the fish, special apparatus be ing installed in tlie car for that pur pose. The men attached to the ear room and meal aboard, the upper sec tion of the car being arranged sim ilar to a Pullman. The work this year by the bureau of fisheries is gratifying to fishermen, ft has been extremely successful and there has been much co operation on the part of all interested in the protection of the lake3 and streams of the State. Old Town correspondence tells of an tagonism aroused over the plan to pre serve the Wadleigh schoolhouse for its historical associations by transplanting it to tlie public library lot. This is the building in which, according to popular historical tradition, the late Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller of the Unit ed States Supreme court made his de but as a public debater, although it is also alleged that he never appeared to take any interest whatever in Old Town as a former place of residence. It was voted to grant permission to Hon. W. H Waterhouse, who has been the chief mover in the matter, to remove tlie old schoolhouse building to the li brary lot and thoroughly renovate it fur a museum, or community house, or whatever service the citizens might de sire to make of it. This aroused vigor ous opposition from a considerable number of citizens, who believe it would sadly mar the library lot to have this old building, which they claim is far from the original one in which the debate was held, so near the most at tractive public building in the city. Pe titions were circulated for reconsidera tion. Tlie requirements imposed by one «)f tlie Colby sororities initiating neophy tes, Friday, making it compulsory for the girls to wear their heir in the pig tail style of little girls reveals the fact that quite a few Colby sifts look ex tremely winsome with their hair thus arranged. This is not of course, sa\ ing that they do not, otherwise, but merely remarking that where the sororities tried to make the young ladies appear odd, they merely enhanced, the attrac tiveness of the misses. It was a case of "beauty unadorned adorned lho more.” In a Word. Miss Jane A (Warns was talking at a tea at Hull house in Chicago about woman suffrage. "Woman deserves the vote," she said. “Woman is abandoning her brief role of parasite. She is re turning to her age-long role of part ner partner in man's labor and thought, no less than in his pleas res." Miss Addams smiled. “In a word," she ended, “every man's wife should be assister to him." Literature and Literary. “Yes, sir," said the shabby in dividual seated in an arm chair of the Mills hotel, “I've followed litera ture for a living all my life, and I can’t read a line.” “Followed literature for a living," repeated the stranger in the next arm chair, “and can't read a line!

Now Highway Law Must Be Enacted. Editor Kennebec Journal: It is apparent that the highway law must he radically changed if there is to bo any real improvement inf the roads of the State. This must he ac complished before there is any larged expenditure than at the present time, for there is now an enormous loss due to ignorance and negligence, more to the latter than tile former. The great er loss net lira in the utter lack of maintt nance. Many miles of excellent State road have been constructed, and if it had been properly cared for (the expense would have been tritling) it would lie in good condition to-day. Probably not one town in a hundred has expended a single i^ollar for re pairs on any State road that lias been DUllt in too past five years. Build and forget" has been the motto of city and town alike, and undoubtedly will be until the highway department lias the authority to grant certain aid to such municipalities as will maintain their state roads in accordance with instructions issued by the State de partment, and withhold it from those which will not. When the people of a community see that their town is not obtaining State aid owing to the negli gence or perversity of their officers, a radical reformation will occur imme diitely. Under the present law not a dollar of which the State furnishes the small est part can be used for the mainten ance of State roads. Think of It' Think of the Slate debarring itself from preserving and protecting an investment that it has already made. Such, however is tiie fact. This must be changed. To those towns whose road commis sioners will go over once in two weeks all State roads constructed, remove all loose stones, see that the culverts are open, apply new material to worn out places, and make al! other neces sary repairs, and also drag the gravel and earth roads after every rain, all being done to the satisfaction of the highway commissioner; the Stale should reimburse such towns, say for one half of the expense of such work. Some system like the above must bo adopted if our roads are to be main tained after they are built. The law must endow the Stale and municipalities with authority to ac quire all kinds of road material under condemnation proceedings. Under the present law they cannot obtain road material by the right of eminent do main. Yet the State has granted the right of eminent domain to railroads. Think of the State granting powers to private corporations that it does not reserve to itself and to municipalities! Two svstems of roads should lie es tablished, one connecting the principal towns, and the other the roads leading from the country Into the town. Many times the roads leading from the coun try Into the town are fully as impor tant as the direct highway connecting one town with another. The policy should he to build from town to town and then radiate back from the town into the country- not one road, but all of the principal ones that carry traf fic. Both systems should receive State aid when bolh the construction and r* Or v.or1- is a mr. a-eording to in r‘r"ot> i.. q by the State liigh ♦nv department. If tiie proposed constitutional amendment should be adopted, the 1 egisl tturo rnuld then authorise the i. e of such an amount of the $2, ow.onn bonds as it deemed advisable, using the special automobile tax to pav tiie interest and redeem Jht prin cipal The law should he so changed as to allow the expenditure of this rnonov on both sv«tems of roads. The automobile tax wilt redeem the bonds In a much shorter period than the peo ple have an idea. An annual income or ttl’fi 000 (the average automobile tax will exceed this amount) will pay tjio Interest at 4 per cent and redeem the bond issue of S .'.noO.OOn 111 twenty-eight years. Bonds hearing 3'A per cent inter e' t ran h” sold at par so that the prin elpal would be redeemed in a much shorter time. The bonds should first be offered direct to the people of the State. For the main roads running from town to town, what is known as tin? patrol systom should ho adopted. A man given a certain section of eight or h n miles to keep in repair, devoting his whole time to the work during the soring, summer, and fall. At first thought this may seem expensive, but experience lias demonstrated that it is exactly the reverse. In fact it is the most economical system that bus yet been devised. Wherever it has been adopted it riot only has kept the roads In excellent condition, hut the expense has bees lighter. Under the present deplorable system repairs are never undertaken until the road is eomplete l> worn out, and then it has to he en tirely rebuilt, and the original invest ment duplicated. Under the patrol system the life of our main roads could be extended almost indefinitely. It is the stitch in time that saves nine. The greati r part of the expense of repairs on the main through roads should lx1 borne by the State as it is the only way it can properly Vie done. All road work should he. begun in the spring as soon as the frost is out of file ground, and by the way, if the road is properly drained and crowned, there will he no frost. Dry eartli will not freeze and heave. It only does so when water is allowed to saturate it. It is not I lie earth hut the water it contains that freezes. Towns whose officers will not thus early commence their road work should be barred from receiving State aid. The present law penalizes towns for making large appropriations for roads. Towns having a valuation of between $200,000 and $800,000 by raising four hundred dollars for State roads can obtain four hundred dollars from the State. If they should appropriate four thousand, they could get only four hundred. This should be changed so that any town wishing to do a large amount of work in any one year could receive the same apportionate amount from the State, and possibly be given interest, and the-; principal always safe You cannot be too firmly impressed with the importance of absolutely assuring your savings. This bank not only guarantees safety of all funds, but -4 per cent interest is added on all amounts—large or small —and compounded quarterly. Participate in this principal assurance and protect yourself against financial ruin in the future.. STATE TRUST COMPANY 237 Water St., AUGUSTA, MAINE Chairman THOS.J. LYNCH, Pr««. J. E. LIGGETT.

The demand for better roads Is not local. It is nation wide, nay, conti nent wide, for the Province of Quebec has recently voted $lo,noo,0oo for road improvement. It is one of the gr« at conservation ideas of the times fully as important as the conservation of the forests or the impounding of the j waters for irrigation in the arid west. I The good roads propaganda has come to stay for it meets a long felt want, and it takes no one with a prophetic vision to see that the State will be obliged to appropriate in some form or other a larger amount than it has in the past. The only question is how can the most he obtained front the larger expenditure. The law must be changed as here indicated, and the State highway de partment given greater power, espec ially over methods of maintenance, for under the present law it has absoaite ly none. Some adequate and uniform system of maintenance is needed and this can best be accomplished by the State bearing a part of the expense, and the work being done under the instruction of the highway depart ment. No more money to be expended under the present law. If the proposed constitutional amend ment is adopted, as it should and prob ably will be, before the Legislature authorizes the issue of tbe bonds, it must enact a new highway law, one which will meet the requirements, for it would be the height of folly to at tempt to do anything with such a large amount of money under the pres ent one. If tlie constitutional amend ment is adopted the Legislature will undoubtedly enact such a law. With Ifl’.OOn.O'ib expended under a law as suggested, the benefits would be so apparent inside of three years that the people would not return to the old conditions for five times the amount. As tlie autornobilists are willing to provide the money by the payment of a special road tax from which all oth er vehicles arc exempt, provided the rponev is properly expended and the roads maintained once they are con structed, one can but assume that the proposed amendment authorizing the use of *2,000,000 of bonds, will be adopt ed and the State enter upon a new era of prosf^erity.

Butter making from a single Jierd of cows in a small dairy located-am the farm should command the highest price of any butter on the market, says a bulletin of tlie Washington Ex periment Station. Where one man has control of all the process through which the milk goes from the time it is milked until the time it is printed as butter, the product should be the best obtainable. If this one man under stands the principle and the art of hiitterrri;ikin£. The first essential in making good liutter is gtnjd cream. To get this sim ply means to take ordinary precau tions regarding clean cows and karri, clean attendants and clean utensils; and then cooling tire cream at once af ter separating, either try running it o\er a cooler, or by setting in running cold water and stirring. Cream should not be stored wkth any sub stance having an aroma. Sweet cream churns hard and gives a butter having a flat taste. To gour, or ripen ttie cream, first heat It to about 70 degrees F. (use a thermome ter) and let it stand until it has a mild but distinctly acid taste; or sec ond, add some sour milk or buttermilk (starter) to start ripening, at the same time holding it ut 70 degrees. The best cream for churning is that which tests about SO per cent, fat after the starter lias been added. The teemperpture at which the cream should be churned depends on size of fat globules, age of cream, amount of creum, kind of feed the cow is getting, and this cannot be de termined except by trial. Thirty-live degrees may be proper on one farm and 60 degrees on the one adjoining. A good rule to follow is to have the liuttpr come about the size of wheat kernels in about 30 to 40 minutes. If it takes longer the cream is either too sweet or at too low- a temperature, or the churn is too full. If it comes sooner than 30 minutes, the tempera ture is too high. While the granules are about tiic size of wheat, the buttermilk should be drained, the granules washed and the salt added. .Then ttyey are worked together, only enough to distribute tin salt evenly. When the churn is not stopped until the granules become large, some of the buttermilk is en cased and it makes butter of poor keeping quality. Mottles in butter are' caused by an uneven distribution of salt in the presence of buttermilk. 1911 Apple Buds.

In a few more days her comb became red and she began laying. “Another neighbor had gome sick tur- keys which he thought would not. Uvfe. Hearing of the remedy and the lady's success, he procured some and tried it on his turkeys by giving two teaspoonfuls, Every one got well.

Mysterious Theft Of a Bicycle. A few nights ago, H. A. Dickey, one of the operators at the Maine Central sta tion, was relieved of a bicycle which he had left beside the door leading to the second story of the station. The aid of the police was invoked to secure the re turn of the wheel hut all that could be learned was that two men, one of them in his shirtsleeves, had been seen by a woman who had stopped over night at Hotel North, to remove the bicycle from the doorway. The missing wheel was found, Sunday morning, with the pump, bell and tow clips removed from it but tied onto the seat with a string, it was hidden under neath the steps leading from White’s coal office to Commercial street and the pedometer indicated that the wheel had been ridden two miles. The spot where it was found had been searched several times previously in hunting for the miss ing wheel, ro that it must have been brought there sometime after being re moved from the station. The officers are trying to determine whether the matter was a joke or an actual theft. One theory entertained is that the bicycle was stolen by parties who were seeking to make a break somewhere about the city and escape by its aid. NtWS TO HANKS.

Offer to Pay for Samose If It Does Not Make Thin People Fat. Pale, thin people are simply suffering from want of nourishment. They may eat enough, hut their food is not properly digested and do^s them no good. Samose, the remarkable llesh-forming food should he used by all who are pale, weak and thin. It mingles with the food and aids assimilation, so that when tak en for a short time, nature will soon as sert her normal powers, and the food that is eaten will giue strength and good flesh. The woman who longs for rosy cheeks and the plumpness of beauty should use Samose. The man who wants to be strong and well and gain health and good flesh will find his desires accom plished by Samose. Such remarkable results have followed the use of Samose that Druggists Bow ditch. Webster iVr Do. are willing to pay for the treatment if it does not give the desired results. They make this offer generally and want all who are thin, weak and out of health to get a box of Samose from them on those terms. i 11 n e't-C I Gamed 15 lbs In 6 Weeks and enjoyed every minute of it.

First prize for the girls was awarded, to Miss Vleena Whitten of the Fresh man class; second prize for the girls, to Miss Muriel Jones of the Senior class. This was tlie 16th annual con test. Friday morning, the High school Commencement exercises were held in Moody Memorial chapel. A class of six was graduated. The schools marched In in a double line which split when within I he chapel to form an aisle through which the Senior class was marshalled ro the platform. The pro gram was as follows; Music. Music. Salutatory. Hazel Moore Class History. Reginald Brackett Music. Rs.say—"Dickens," Chester PVInslow Class Prophecy, Howard Arey Music. Oration—“International Pea re," Arthur Chapman Valedictory. Robert Fillmore Music. Awarding of Diplomas. Singing Class Ode. The Senior reception was held. Thursday evening, in Moody hall, and a large body of students and alumni gathered for an evening of rare pleas ure and great jollity. This occasion usually concludes the program for Commencement week, but an omission made necessary by the heavy rains, Thursday, will probably result in a carrying over of a part of the plans for the week until some fair morning Tnnior class day exercises were to have been held, this year, for the first time and plans were made and a program perfected. This program is still watt ing. The rains have made the travel difficult and it iias been hard to car ry on the plans properly, but in spile of dark skies and muddy roads with occasional downpours of rain. the week lias been a most successful one. INHABITANTS OF MARS. l/ivid Word Picture of Them by Pro fessor Perrier. M. Perrier, of the French Natural History Museum, has been giving; in Ihe “Matin” his ideas of the inhabi tants of the planet Mars. He is com plimentary. “The low atmospheric pressure,” he says, “has produced n considerable de velopment of the lungs, and conse luently the general character of these iieings has been influenced by the great difference between the atmos pheric condition on Mars and that on >ur earth. One may imagine that the men of Mars are all the creator in size because the force' of gravity there is slight, and that they ire light-haired because the daylight Is not so intense as with us. In line, with perhaps less powerful limbs, they may resemble our Scandinavian tvpe, though probably with a larger skull.” So M. Perrier, says the “Standard's” Paris correspondent, pictures a blue eyed, long-nosed, heavy-eared being, with a huge head, bulky chest, spindle limbs, and no waist worth speaking of. As for the psychology and phytogeny rjf the Martian world, M. Perrier does not stop to discuss Such material finest Inns as the eanal system of the planet, hut says that he believes that the Inhabitants of Mars are kind hearted, that Ihe animals have no rear of their masters, and that the Martians are acquainted with the noblest delights of the intellect, and with the most suave emotions of Ihe soul. M\ Perrier believes, among oilier things, that "the year on the planet Mars lasts twiee as long as the year on our earth, and consequently plants and insects have twice the time in which to evolve—consequently long grass, huge fruit and insects so much more perfect as the length of existence develops the intelligence. Girds have a luxuriant plumage, are large in size, and brightly colored, and have reached a perfection of form unknown to us. .WINTHROP, Local BaseballJearn De feats?

You may have been waiting and putting it off all this time, thinking that you surely would do so sometime soon. Why delay?

Augusta Trust Company Augusta Maine which without the aid of photography we should not have discovered. And be cause it give;; |is 'he means for deter mining positions ;tnl measuring orbits more readily than by any other known method, photography will without doub greatly increase our knowledge of known distances between our earth and far-off, shining stars. However, the astronomer under the •‘■•tin tudded skies does not point a camera upward to search the heavens. His plate is put into the telescope, and tlie telescope then turned to the sky. A long exposure of one or two hours, and sometimes even four, is given, though the plates are so sensitive that a mere fraction of a second would be sufficient for a daylight exposure. This gives the faint, far-distant «dars time to record their images on the film To show what wonderful results are sometimes readied, a single photograph, after only one hour s exposure, shows 16,000 stars; and this is said to rep.♦ sent only one ten thousandth part of tlie expanse of tlie heavens. These photographs and the story they tell us give us a slight conception of the immensity of ouf marvelous universe. And tills is by no means all; we have every reason to believe that were it pos sible to make our telescopes even more powerful, our plates more sensitive, and exposures perhaps still longer, there would be ever more and more myriads of new' stars brought to our knowledge. And you must remember that each of these luminous points, however, faint and far away, is a sun, doubtless light ing other worlds in the same kindly manner in which our own sun affords us light and heat. Whatever else this knowledge teaches, it helps us to under stand that our sun and planets, of which our earth is one of the smallest, are a part of a. great and sublime system mov ing in regularly appointed paths, and that the same laws which govern ns control the whole. It is a wonderful and inspiring thought that we are a part of this beautifully planned and governed universe, and that we may lie down peacefully to our rest at night, happy in the assurance that the power so mar velously directing and governing tlie uni verse is keeping us too in perfect safe ty and untroubled calm—Bridgeport Telegram. Long Lif© in th© Balkans. One does not look for the pictur esque in a municipal election in this I country. But in Turkey it is differ ient. The returno of the municipal elections have Just been completed, and nine of the successful, candidates in the district of Uskub are cen tenarians. Their names and ages are as follows: Jaffer and Zebir Mus tafa one hundred and eleven years, Zeinel Adem one hundred and three, Zebir Mukhtar one hundred and two, elected for Boyana; Halim Fellah one hundred and five, Selim Rejeb one hundred and three, Arif Mernlsh, one hundred and two, for Tanltcha; Jlo I barrein Balram one hundred and ten, for Kurachovltza; Suleiman .raffer one hundred and five, for Nlklshtan. If these figures sound incredible, we may remember that the fine air, pure water, and simple life of the Balkans are conducive to longevity. Anybody who knows the "distressful" border land of Albania. Macedonia and Novi Bazar will testify to the alertness of the old men and the line types met with among them. A good many of the inhabitants of that countryside do not die in their beds, but those who do so defer the event for a long time, and evidently the Balkan electors consider that a centenarian is quite up to the work of a municipal coun cillor.- Manchester Guardian. NEW FLASHLIGHT REVOLVER. An invention of special interest to sportsmen, and in fact to all versed in the use of firearms, has Just been completed. It consists of an electric flash lamp fixed directly under the front sight of the gun or revolver, thus enabling wild-game hunters to continue their sport by ntgtit. The two principal features of the Inven tion are that the sportsman can with the aid of the Hash determine the ex act position of the object he Intends tiring at while he himself remains en veloped in darkness; further, should the object be an animal the flash would not only dazzlt Its vision but would momentarily terrify it: sec ondly, llie two lines, one descending from the (top of the lens just under the muzzle and tnteresecting another horizontal line at higti section of the reflector’s sphere, enable the as sailant to hit the object without tak ing aitn, for wherever the flash throws the tripod mark the bullet will hit within half an Inch. The Invention can be titled to a revolver and would be especially useful In the home for protection.—The Tatler.

Through them, all America and Amer icans have stood at the forefront. We believe in our country, the Unit ed States of America.

And when he hud said i he breathed rn them and salth unto them, Heeelve ye the Holy Ghost.” The jireapher began by calling at tention to tlae fact that trie subject and general purpose of the sermon on such an occasion is clearly* defined by rubric, and f ministers in Christ’s church -bishops, priests and 41eacotfft* The church is con servative. f*’he mistrusts novelties. What ver is of apostolic or primitive origin is based upon a sufficient au thority. An oiderly succession which the church has nev^r been without, la hardly to lie set aside ot Mirrbiidercd. But let us not rest out 1 argument merely upon the fact that this ministry Is a ministry with a living history of nearly twenty cen turies, hut let us rather remember that back of this fact is a principle, and that principle is that the im mutable God has for some reason, hidden away in His eternal knowledge, considered it, necessary, in both in stances where He has defined the terms of a covenant, to commit its administration to a three-fold minis try. When Israel emerged from its tribal state, and put on the habiliments of a fiation, God taught them the elements of their religion. As an intermediary agency a means whereby God and the people should draw nearer to gether He separated the tribe of Xa vi to he the priestly tribe, and tak ing rank in that tribe. were the priests, and chief of all. the high priest. It Is evident unto all men diligently reading Hoi Scripture, that there were these three orders—-the high priest, priests, and LeVites. If this appointment were of no im portance, or if our God were one whose ways of working were subject to correction or improvement, we might expect that when the Old Covenant developed into the New, there might have been a change In the outline of the Church. But God changes not, and the method evident ly has its value, in His eyes, for the apostles, “instructed in the things per taining to tfte Kingdom of God,')' pro ceeded to reproduce the same divers ity in the church of the Incarnate Saviour,-and behold as noted,in the REV. BRIAN C. ROBERTS Vector of St. .Mark's ind Master of Cere monies at Ordination. preface just quoted, these three orders of ministers, bishops, priests and deacons. The church of God has never been without this mfhistry. She dare not relinquish it, lest fhe lose what is historically, the only known channel of divine grace. "And this brings me to the second reason. i have called it a practical one. MR;lit I not better say, a spiritual one. t>ur Christian ooiiga tions and privileges are summed up In one word communion. 1 do not mean in its narrower sacramental sense, but in the sense of fellowship. Our approach to God, anti God's spiritual gifts to us. The only prop er avenue of approach to God, is by vfty of sacrifice. Ills gifts to us—| those which have to do with our sul vtttion- our I|>rd has tied up in some mysterious way to signs or sacra ments. The church has always held a priesthood necessary for the valid celebration of sacraments and'sacri fices. The Iftshops are the guardians and dispensers of the priesthood. The practical reason why the church values her*, mini-try is that without bishops and priests the divinely or dained syst*ou, the servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.” Again: “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. Remember the word that I said unto you. The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you: if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.” That was the outlook. It was not unlike the Icall to Saul of Tarsus, later on, when Christ sent His messenger to show him all the things he must staf fer for his Master's sake. What was the import of this call? "As my Father hath sent me.” "I came forth from the Father.” "God sent not his son into the world to con demn the world, but that the world through him might be saved." “Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners.” "I and my Father are one.” “The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, for he hath anointed me.” N’o one person of the Holy TVinit.v acts alone. In the incarnation, at the baptism, upon His coming forth from the desert of temptation, the Holy Spirit was active, overshadowing, anointing, impelling—His work was the Father’sse.s well as His own. His sAcred humanity received in unmeas ured abundance, the gift of the Holy Spirit. His ml&ion was a mission of salvation. His words to the apostles convey to them all that these things can mean. "As my Father hath sent pie. even so send l you.” Go, preach the Gospel. Preach sal vation, not condemnation. You have i message of hope. It is mine. I and my Father are one. The Father worketh in Me. You and your Mas ter are one. 1 work in you. Your work cannot lie separated from Mine. 'Receive the Holy Ghost.” The work no longer is yours, it is ours. When vou teach, “He that heareth you hear th Me," When you baptize, a soul Is reborn—it is My ministry. But inly in the power of the Holy Ghost. Without that gift, there can be no accomplishment. With, there must ae power. Of course, all this was not merely an apostolic mission. It was be stowed upon the church. It was not simply for a few Jews—for a single generation. It was for the world— For all time. It was a Catholic mes sage, for a Catholic church. "What thou hast learned of me, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also." The actual working out of the mission of the sacred ministry has never been more clearly described than in the terse expression of our own Father In God, which I trust he will porml^me to quote. "God sent Christ. Christ sent the apostles. The apostles sent the bishops. The bishops sent our bishop. Our bishop sent to you, Father Roberts, today he sends Father Tripp, and these deacons. And it is only one more link in that chain, whose first link was forged in heaven, and second in that upper room, when our Lord said, “As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you." Rut the preacher is bidden to de clare yv* duty of shch as are ad mitted to these orders. Our text re fers not only to the principle of an apostolic succession of rank and posi tion. There is an apostolic succes sion of #esponsiliilhy. The minister of God does his befit work, who lets his thoughts dwell chiefly upon that phase of his commission. The Holy Ghost does not come to any one powerless. To whomsov^ lie comes, it is with a gift of power. To the priest or deacon there is the grace for the particular spiritual functions which he has to fulfill in the RodV of hrist. When He comes to the lay man in confirmation. He comes in power, admitting him to ae splcitual priesthood, so that/tot even he is dis pensed from a ministry of preaching and service. When the church rises to a sense of her responsibility, and a consciousness of her power, she will move oyward in her mission, and will achieve great results, for her work is tile work of Him who said, "I have overcome the world.” Personal Address to Candidates. Thf preacher closed with the fol lowing personal address to the can didates: 'My brethren: Have I drawn an at tractive picture of the work of tlfe sacred ministry? Such has not been my intention. We know that the Master s mission was not unsuccess ful. "All power Is given unto Me." "Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost Is come upon, you.” \Ye know that Ills ministry was one of sacrifice. Ours must be this also. If you shrink frt^m self-sacrifice, you would better pause even at tills hour, lest you Jjave mistaken your vocation. Yali will he called upon to saeriilee. Y ou will meet obstacles. You will suf fer disappointments. Co-operation will fail you where you have a right to expect it. We have but to remem ber that we are engaged in God's work,- and since He sees it In its greater, its eternal perspective, that which is worth while He will make fruitful. Cultivate patience, self-restraint, personal holiness. Persuasion is more effective than command, and example tiihre powerful than either. The lay man is, of course, hound to fie as clean, upright, and God-fearing as his pastor, hut we know that he expects us to shine in gdodness, more con spicuously than he does. Bo not try to bridge the chasm by an assump tion of wofldliness. Hatlier let it he seen that you sanctify yourself for your brother's sake. (Continued on Page Eleven) Who Am I?

Three cases of smallpox have been repotted to the Augusta Board of Health and four other cases, which it is.hoped by the board will turn out to be only ehiekenpox, are now under onarantine for further investigation. The three cases of smallpox are light ones. A physician was called, Sunday forenoon, to attend Lillian LeClair, the 10-year-old daughter of Joseph Is' Clair of 04 Mount Vernon avenue and discovered that the child had a well defined case of smallpox, which he at once reported to the Board of Health. Investigation disclosed that the 4 year-old daughter and 6-year-old son nf Napoleon Tondreau at 92 Mount Vernon avenue were afflicted with a similar disease, which was at once pronounced smallpox and both houses were ordered placed under quarantine. The Tondreau boy is nearly over the disease but the other two cases %re in the early stages. Four cases of suspected smallpox were reported in two different families in the vicinity of Monroe and Wash ington streets ns the result of an in vestigation by Health Officer Roy. The health officer and another physician, who accompanied him in the investi gation. gave it as their opinion that the cases wore ehiekenpox but the families were quarantined and the surveillance of these cases will be ex tended over another day to make sure 1 that no mistake has been made. The Board of Health, which had i been called together in the afternoon j to take action upon the cases, held a further meeting in' the evening at which it was decided to remove the LeClair girl and the two Tondreau children to the isolation hospital. An officer was put on guard at the two houses. Sunday night, to see that no attempt was made on the pnrt of the members of the two families to break quarantine. NORTH MANCHESTER.

Bride of Sis Monliis Says Husband Choked Her. August Roofer Obliged to Come Up With Part of Board Bill. A r:uJ tale of domestic infelicity was unfolded in the municipal court, Sat urday forenoon, when the case of Du mont vs. Dumont came up for a In r ine. Tiie complainant in this case was Dura Dumont, a bride of six months, who complained that her husband, Al fred Dumont, had thrown her down, choked and struck her. Mrs. Dumont, who is hut 13, was dressed in deep mourning for her father, who had re cently died. The eourt found the husband guilty of the assault as charged, but it soon developed that there was Incompati bility of temperament on both side? and the.t both parties were anxious to sec ure a divorce. Dumont, who is hut :;0, admitted striking his wife, but said he had done it in self-defence and tes tified that she scratched him and claimed that marks on his face were made by the finger nails of his wife. Mrs. Dumont testified that when sin asked her husband for money to buy some candy on the 30th day of May h swore at her and. that the trouble fol lowed. Mrs. Dumont said that her health was poor and she was unable to work, while her husband testified that she* w is on the streets all of the forenoons. It developed that Dumont's parents had advised him to leave his wife and he testified that he had told her, after the quarrel of May 30, that lie was all through with her. Judge Lancaster ordered the respon dent to pay Mrs. Dumont $3 per week for her board until such time ns a di vorce was secured and warned the young man that if he struck his wife or attempted to abuse ber further hr would be dealt severe ly with. The only other respondent before the court, Saturday morning, was August Pooler, who was charged with attempt ing to defraud Jennie Thibodeau of a SC> hoard lull. The respondent insisted that he intended to pay but did not deny that he had stated he was go ing to leave town. Pooler had but $1 on his person and that sum he was or dered tc> pay at once to Mrs. Thibo deau. The ease was then continued un til next Saturday, in order to give him n opportunity to pay the balance of 'lie board bill nn.l costs of SlMD. AMUSEMENTS. Advanced Pictures—Opera House.

INSURGENTS CAPTURE TOWN LA MAYA RURNED AND SACKED. General Estenoy, Leader of Negro Insur= gents, Enter Town While Regulars Are In Search of His Forces==Rebels Continue to Decline Combat. Santiago, Cul>a, Juno 2.—Tin- insur gents have burned the post office, the telegraph ollice, the barracks of the Rural Guards, and several houses at La Maja, 30 miles from Santiago, on ly live soldiers were stationed there. Eugenio La t.loste, one of the rebel leaders, has proclaimed himself gov ernor of Tart urns, to the north of Ouantnnamo. He lias issued a procla mation, ordering all planters and pro prietors in that district to contribute $CU00 each and also arms and ammuni tion, on penalty of having their estates burned. Lieut. Col. Consuegra is reported to have engaged the rebels in tin vicinity of Dairquirl, killing five of them. Havana, June 2.—■General Estenoz, the real leader of tiie Negro Insur gents has captured and burned the town of I,a Maya tin tile brunch line of tiie Cuba Kailrmul, 3" miles from •"Santiago. The government gave out this information, tonight. A column of regulars, commanded by Major Sanguily, had occupied La Maya for the last two days, hut sallied fo'th, last evening, in search of Insur gents. Hardly had the regulars left, when Estenoz with 800 men, attacked the handful of Kurals. Citizens armed Hams lv«‘s and attempted to oppose the Insurgents but were compelled to retreat, losing several wounded. Es tenoz then entered the town, which he burned and sacked. The flames were seen by Maj. San (jully’s command, which hastened back, but found the town destroyed. The Insurgents retired into the hills. La Maya was a small place, composed of about TO houses, the inhabitants ot which were mostly Negroes. Encounters between the regulars and the rebels are reported to have t rken place near Daiquiri and at other places without decisive results. The general forward movement of the Cuban troops apparently is still de ferred, pending completion of the dis position of the troops ordered by Gen. Monteagudo. Reports from the scene of hostilities say that the rebel leaders continue to exact contributions of arms and money front the property owners who are mostly foreigners, under threat of applying the torch. The government is making strong efforts to supply plantation guards, but seemingly lacks sufficient men to do so without de pleting the ranks of the troops in ac tive service. Gen. Monteagudo in a statement to the government, says that he has had no losses up to the present. This is due to the tactics of the rebels who continue to decline combat, firing a lew long range shots on the approach of th.- troops and then rapidly retir ing into the fastnesses of the hills. Gen. Monteagudo says in a very short time he expects to deliver a crushing blow, and adds that he does not need further reinforcements. The government received a dispatch. tonight, from ,'an Luis, stating that Ne groes attacked a hamlet near that place, outraged three white women and took the stores. This apparently is within the lines of the regular troops. The judge of instruction of Guantanamo, today, Issued a formal proclamation of Indictment on the charge of rebellion against Gen.

Cuba, June 2.—The offi cers of the United States marine bat talion held several conferences, today, with the representatives of the foreign companies whose properties are locat ed near Guantanamo. Complaint was made that the protection afforded these companies was insufficient, but no definite action has been taken. It is reported that numerous bands of Insurgents are encamped near Jamai ca, a suburb of Guantanamo, where there is a groat surgar plantation. On ly six Jlurales are on guard and the Insurgents are threatening an attack. INSURGENTS ARE ACTIVE Around Guantanamo and Joturo— Fighting Takes Place at La IViaya. Santiago, Cuba. June 2.—Hands of insurgents are active in the neighbor hood of Guantanamo and Joturo. At Guantanamo the rebels burned the railroad bridges over the Rio Guazo. Four stores in villages near Joturo were looted. These depredations ap pear to be the work of small scatter ed bands. A large body of government troops is concentrated at La Maya and the sound of firing continues in that di rt ction. The rebel trooper captured, yester day. by Capt. Iglesias’ cavalry near FI Cobre was found to be Luna, chief of staff of General Ivonet, the rebel commander. After the small band he commanded was dispersed, yesterday, by Capt. Iglesias Luna escaped and entered El Cobre for the purpose of concealing himself. lie was recogniz ed, however, and arrested.

Arthur Bur gess. a young man, working beside Bushey, also fell 20 feet, sustaining a sprained ankle, but no other serious injuries. The accident was caused by the breaking of a small hand derrick which was being used to lift a heavy ptei'e of ornamental stone, said to be too heavy for the derrick, in fact. When th> derrick broke, the staging on which 'the men stood gave way also, and they were precipitated into the cellar. Both men were attended l>> physicians and removed to their homes, where, it is expected, they will soon recover.
