ostion to III. w. Jewett:

That the employees of the mill were willing to
work ten hours day during the summer and nine
hours day next winter, otherwise they would
not return. If he would aceede to this demand
he need not apprehend any lnterposition from the
Knights for one year.
Mr.. Jewett offered to run ten hours day
in the summer if lumber was worth $14 a
thousand, and eight hours the coming win
ter. He acknowledged that the men could
do more labor during the five hours they
worked in the afternoon than six hours toll
ering the proposal made to him by the exec
utive board. 1t is claimed by the latter that
every mandatory excepting saw mills is
running on basis of ten hours day, and it

the Portland d-Brooklyn game, Saturday, as
below:
The Brooklyn club played its opening game with
the Portlands at Washington Park, Brooklyn,
yesterday before an audience Of about 800
people. 1t was rather poorly played on the part
of the BrOoklynites, and the result was that the
contest ended in a draw, each side scoring nine
runs at the end of the ninth inning. In the tenth
Brooklyn tailed, but 1t was too dark to continue
the contest. In the first part OF the game Toole,
BroOklyn's new pitcher, was hit hard, but he re-
covered toward the close and gave a fair exhibi-
tion of his powers. His poor work was in
measure due to the poor support given him be-
hind the bat. The score follows:

Potato Starch Frauds.
A Big SCHEME TO DEFRAUD THE GOVERN
MENr, DISCOVERED AT CHICAGO.

The starch manufacturers of New England
will be greatly interested in the investigation
which the treasury department has been
making Into the alleged importations of vast
quantities of potato starch at Chicago, duty
free, invoiced as fariBa flour. About two
years ago New England congressman sue
ceeded in having the duty on starch raised,
as it was found that it was difficult to COM
pete with imported starch. Notwithstanding
the increase of the duty it has late
ly been discovered that potato starch shippe
from Chicago was sold IN Eastern cities at
from TO cents per pound. while the cost
of producing the starc:, including a reason
able profit, with the ad iiton of the Govern
ment tax, aggregates five cents per pound
Some two months ago Secretary Manning re-
ceived informant from New York which
satisfied him that inquiries should be made
as to the charges of differentiation in starch.
Ii was discovered that thousands of pounds of
what was believed to be potato starch.
upon which the duty is two cents per
pound, was received at Chicago in
ventoried as farina or root flour. One es-
adjustment in Chicago is said to have a mo-
nopoly of the trade, and acted "a distributors
of this starch Tn Eastern starch manufac-
turers sent a competent man To Chicago to
investigate. With some difficulty he sue
ceeded in purchasing lot of the tarina -four
which came in duty tree. Samples were sub
United to Eastern chemists. who pronounced
the article pure potato starch of the finest
quality Some of the samples were used in
a laundry and furnished a perfect gloss.
The conclusions of this agent were
reported to the treasury. Secretary
Manning Immediately sent one of the most
experienced agents in the service, Col. John
ID Peck. to ChicagI to inv estigste. He has
just returned. and has submitted his report.
His report, it is said, show, that millions of
pounds of this starch have been imported at
Chicago duty free, and have been distributed
from there throughout the country. In
every case investigated by Col. Peck the ship
ments received as farina -four were sold as
potato starch. The evidence of these irreg-
ularities is said to be complete - Webb in

A Souvenir Of the Past.

Ex-United States Senator Joseph Cilley
passed his 95th birthday on Monday At his
home in Nottingham, N. H. He is in excel
lent health
The above lines, clipped from . Lowell
newspaper, of this week, remind me OF an
interesting incident in my own experience.
Nearly forty years have passed since circum-
stances, which need not here relate. led me
to be guest at the Cllley mansion, at Not
tingham Square. where ex-senator Cilley
then lived, as he does now. To those now
living who remember the intense excitement
and deep feeling of the people of Maine when
jonathan Cilley WAS killed in duel BY Graves
of Kentucky, and to what extent that brilliant
man was the popular idol in this State, may
be interested in a few words in which the
writer relates how keenly he enjoyed an
evenings conversation with Joseph Ciliey,
the first anti-slavery United States Senator
chosen after the agitation against slavery
began, the elder brother Of Jonathan Cilley,
the talented Congressman from Maine.
Joseph Cilley had been 4 brave officer of the
war of 1912, under Winfield Scott at Lundy's
Lane, and was severely wounded in that bat
tie, of which he gave me a stirring account in
terse, vigorous language. His character and
manner simple and modest, but firm as the
granite Of his native State, indie ited plainly
why he became a supporter Of the anti-slavery
cause. He saw at an early day the wicked
and disloyal designs of the Slave Power, and
took his stand without fear or thought Of
compromise. With him then resided his
mother of eighty years. In appearance she
was a striking looking woman. At that ad-
vanced age her mind was clear and strong and
her presence attractive and impressive. Her
face was without a wrinkle. and rarely among
young ladies of twenty to-day could one be
found with complexion so fair, unstained by
the touch of time. How general the rule,
that men Of distinction are largely indebted
TO their mothers for their strong and valuable
qualities. That venerable woman and her
brave, indomitable son in their home served
me a. an inspiration, and the picture, as l
saw them, is still fresh in memory, after so
many years have passed. Courageous old
man! loyal to his country in her periods of
peril and tender to his mother in her after
noon Of life, may he live to his century Of
years! JOHN L. STEVENS.
