What Influenced Lamar ia the Telephone
Ruling.

Milwaukee Sentinel.
Some of the influences which have weight with
Mr.. Lamar may now be considered. First there
is his colleague in the Cabinet, the Attorney
general with his 81, 500 900 stock His friend,
Senator Harris, of Tennessee, isanother prominent
stakeholder in the Pan-electric. Senator Cor
man, of Maryland, is another. Exon
gressmen Manning aud Money, of MIR.
Lamar's own State, and warm personal
and political friends Of Lamar, are among
the directors and officers of the Rogers Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company, which is
a combination Of interests in the
Pan-electric and the American Postal
Telegraph Company Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.
of Virginia, a leading rebel general, ex-member
of Congress, and now Commissioner of Rail
roads, is another large holder of Panelectric
stock. Mr. Vance, Lamars subordinate in the
Interior Department. has been shown to have
taken deep interest in the Pan-electric, and is
doubtless a stakeholder. j. D. Calkins Com
missioner of Indian Affairs, bureau Of Mr..
Lamar's department, is another big stakeholder
Thus there was tremendous aggregation of
personal and political influence brought to bear
upon Lamar. 1t is a powerful ring, and it pro-
poses to use, as far as possible. the government
to promote its speculative interests. No more
fragrant instance Of the use os official position
for corrupt and selfish ends can be found in the
history of the United States .'OHice is public

The Omaha Tribe of indians.

Miss Alice G.. Fletcher has written very
interesting historical sketch of the Omaha
tribe of Indians who reside in the State of
Nebraska. 1t appears that these Indians
have dwelt near their present location for the
last two centuries; perhaps for longer
time They have about 5000 acres under cul-
tivation, and raise large crops of corn, wheat
and other small grains; potatoes and yegeta-
bles. These are mainly sold to the towns on
the southern border of their reservation. The
interesting fact is stated that the Omaha
farming for 1884 amounted to 100000 bushels
of corn, $4,000 bushels of wheat, $4,000 bush
els of vegetables and oyer 10000 tons of hay.
Seventy-siX thousand acres are now owned
by 1179 persons. All this product of 1884
represents the labor of individual farmers
working on farms from acres to 100 acres in
extent In doing this the farmers have done
the work by themselves There is not hir-
ed laborer on the reservation.
Their mission church has nearly 100 COM
municants. Their children are sent to school.
There is almost no drunkenness. Miss
Fletcher notes the fact of the tribes indebt-
edness to their head chiefs during the pres
ent century What has been done with the
tainly all believers that men of every hue
are children of God may well believe that
all may be lifted from barbarism to Chris
tianity. The story of the Omahas will
strengthen this noble faith.
Miss Fletcher, who is graduate of the
Harvard Annex, went to Nebraska, we un-
derstand, to study chronological questions. In
doing this she has become intensely interest
ed in the welfare of our Indian brethren.
Her letter pamphlet, illustrated, published
in Washington, will instruct all who may
read it. She uses voice also, as well as pen,
and the citizens of Portland will have the
opportunity before long, to listen to her sto-
ry of Indian progress. III. b.

THE EASTERN CEMETERY.
When Was 1t First Used as a Buria!
Place?

If L. B. c. will carefully consider the evi
dence of his record he viii perceive that it
only proves that three years previous to the
destruction of Fort Loyal the Eastern Gene
terry was designated as place for burial.
1t does not show that it had been used.
Does it seem possible that from 1858 to 1880,
a period of 81 years, the dead could have
been buried there and not trace of the
grave of one of them be found nowP
Would not some descendant have marked
some one grave after the resettlement In
1715? Willis went over the ground very
thoroughly generation ago, and his list OF
inscriptions is preserved in theIPublic Libra
ry, but not one of them antedates the re-
settlement. Would there not be signs Of old,
unmarked graves? A little study of the old
cemeteries elsewhere will make this gap in
its supposed history look wide.
Knowing the English custom of burying in
the churchyard, we should naturally look
for earlier graves around the old church on
Machegonne Point, and we can more easily
account for their obliteration there AS to
the bones of those slaughtered at Fort Royal,
which were buried by the expedition of
1872, we should expect to ind them buried
near the spot where they were found.
In regard to Thames street, there is no
doubt that the ancient street, as Willis calls
1t, which led from Clay Cove to India street,
on the present line of Commercial street, on
which lived Brigadier Jedediah Preble and
his son Enoch Preble after him, was the part
OF that street which longest retained the old
name. Possibly it connected with, and was
part of the street leading past the fort to
Maehegone Point in 1890, but it is lost sight
of in the plan given by Mr. Hull.

Echoes from the storm.

CAMDEN, Jan. 80.
The ice storm which visited this section
Thursday has not parallel in the memory
of the oldest inhabitant Yesterday morning
the beautiful shade elms of our village
looked as though a hurricane had passed
through them, the long and graceful
branches, and in many cases the trees
themselves, being broken down by the
heavy weight of ice clinging to the boughs
and twigs. Elms which have the growth of
nearly hundred years have been split and
splinteTed, and the streets and sidewalks
yesterday and today are strewn with the
broken branches. The telegraph poles and
wires have not escaped the weight Of ice,
and thelfalling limbs. The 'driver.of the ac-
commodation between here and Belfast said
this morning that there were some sixty
poles down, and the wires broken in several
places. In some places he had TO get men to
help lift the wires over the horses heads,
and in other places they were fiat enough to
drive over. The fruit trees have shared in
the loss, but not as much as the shade trees.
The forest trees, in many instances, bend to
touch the snow on the ground. No one can
estimate the damage, but that to the tele-
graph and telephone companies is the most.
The ice still clings to the trees, and If the
wind starts up before thaw their deStruc-
tion will be renewed

Farmers Institute in Somerset
County.

SKowHEGAN, Jan. 30.
A farmers institute met at West New
Portland yesterday. 1t was very largely
attended and great success in every par
ticular. In addition to many leading farm
ers of Somerset and Franklin counties, sew
eral editors and prominent agriculturists Of
the State were present and much interest
was manifested throughout the sessions.
The morning meeting, held in Grange Hall,
was called to order by Geo. F. Moore Of
Anson, member of the Board of Agriculture
from Somerset 2. A. Gilbert, the first
speaker, spoke on the "Aims of the Board
of Agriculture, and what it has accom-
plished." Prof. Balentine followed with a
paper on Farm Accounts" which was dis
cussed by Messrs Hanson and Malloy Of
New Portland.
The afternoon and evening sessions, owing
to the crowded houses, were held in
Vaughan's Hail.
R. W. Ellis of Belfast gave a paper on
lessons from the Farm; G. H. Cobb,
Poland, on ''Dairying," which was discussed
by Messrs. Geo. Flint of Anson, A. S. Par
sons of New Portland, and others.

BASE BALL.

PROPOSED CHANGE IN SCORING RULES.
The plan proposed by the Philadelphia Press to
amend the existing scoring rules of the league, SO
as to admit 'base assist column in the score, is
an excellent one and one that ought to be adopted
by both the great base ball organizations The
idea is to give baseman credit whenever he ad-
yances a runner one or more bases, and yet in
hitting the ball fails to make safe hit In the
present system, when batter makes a safe hit
and advances runner bag, he gets credit for
itin the proper column, but II the same result IS
reached on long fly to the outfield or a short hit
to infeld, the batter is credited with an aout''
and no more.
NOTES.
The base ball season will probably open in New
puryport, Mass, by game Saturday April II.
Inc cup VIII then start on tour through Con-
necticut and New Jersey ,EsreturniHg in time to
son will open.
It has been definitely settled that the Boston
ei9p OF tne New England league will occupy the
ol9 Boston Union grounds.
. The Herald says that although doubt exists in
the minds of many base ball people in Boston as
whether that city will, after all, be represented
lnthe New England league, 1t may be stated on
the best of authority that the movements is a
bona tide one, that a team will certainly be or
ganized and that the signing of players will PROB
ably begin this week.

(for he rapidly made his paper successful, and
having accomplished his purpose, cut down his
expenses in that channel) still no one has come
up to the Esplendid audacity" of an order for one
insertion of an advertisement to cost over $780,
900. And vet in pecuniary matters he is a very
exact and careful man.
1t agrees with my experience that newspaper
advertising is profitable. AS look back over the
very considerable number of those whose adver-
tising have done, do not nov recall single one
ed good articles, Of % whatever kline Kind, in the news
while a great many have gained ample fortunes

Is easier. for large advertisers to make money
the head gets turned, and lavish, personal ex-
penditures and improbable Investments swallow
making, would likely have been more permanent.
When business men come to look on the cost Of
steady newspaper advertising as an investment,
sure to pay as well as any other, and not unlikely
to be exceedingly profitable, they will use it more
Systematically than heretofore, and regard 1t as a
necessary item of expense,

New spaper Advertising.

Mr.. j. H. Bates, the well known adver-
tising agent of New York, who has been in
the business for over 80 years and has dis
bursed many millions throughout the United
States and Canada, has this to say in regard
to the benefits of newspaper advertising:
should Judge that the people of this country
expend at least thirty times as much money IN
newspaper advertising as they did thirty years
ago. The vast Increase of population and news.
papers explains considerable part of this, but 1t
mostly comes from the more general and freer use
made of the advertising columns by the general
public. All classes have come more and more TO
believe that the newspaper is the most impersonal,
selfTespecting and effective way of getting be-
fore the public with what anyone wants to say TO
it.
Thirty years ago man who should spend $780,
900 year in the newspapers, would attract atten-
ton as large advertiser; now there are houses
eKpending almost as much monthly, right along
through the year, without attracting attention;
Mr.. Robert Bonner, whose undertakings in all
directions have been characterized by breadtn
b0ldnesS, precision, and success was the t1rsc 70
make the public familiar with large advertising
applied in the most original manner, to build W
the circulation of his Ledger to a point never az
tanned before or since by any Journal In this
country Although Mr.. Bonner's largest news
paper advertising was done twenty-five years ago
