L1QUoR MEN gsE POISON
To Brighten OG a Clergyman Who
 Eimhfinn fhA Traffic.

Fighting the Traffic.
 PROVIDENCE, Feb. 20.-For long period war has been waged against the liquor sellers at Greenwich. R. l., by the local Law and Order league, the head of which was Rev. O. H. Still of the Baptist church. Messrs. Still and Allen acting as constables have made several seizures of liquor lately and have been threatened with violence. Saturday MT. Allen discovered large quantity of ar- senic in his well, but in time to prevent any serious results, and on Sunday morning dynamite cartridge was exploded under the steps of MT. Stills house, but owing to the ignorance of those who placed it but little damage was done.
 While the explosion at the residence of Rev. o. ". Still virtually announced itself
 and became town talk during the day. it was
 not until evening that general publicity was given the attempted poisoning of MT. Aliens well. At the evening service conducted by Rev. MT. Still at the Baptist church samples of the arsenic were exhibited by the pastor, who spoke in the strongest terms denuncia- tory of the outrages, placing them in the category of anarchistic methods. MT. Still created surprise at the close of his remarks when he rendered his resignation as pastor of the church and stated that it must be accepted as he pro. posed to enter the lecture Geld, and devote his whole energies to the advance msnt of the cause of temperance. In the evening Rev. Mir. Blakesles delivered ser- mon at the Methodist church. In the course of his discourse the speaker showed g dish of | the poison, remarking at the same time that there were no lions' dens in town, but we had hyenas skulking about our streets and | conspirators as diabolical and desperate as | those who swarnned around the Medo-Persian | throne. He called upon all good people to | rise and unite in putting down this outlawry | in our midst and announced meeting in the ! interest of law and order to be held in the mathematical room of the academy on Tues ! day evening at 7:30 o'clock. Every citizen | interested in the preservation of good order and the enforcement of the law was invited | to be present. Another seizure of liquor
 was made by Messrs. Still and Allen at the railroad station to- day.

3TALN AN D Ok6CHA w EAA OtN Ae AtA A@ For Killing the Treasurer of the Rex
 ter Bank.
 BANGOR, Me-, Feb. 20.-The trial of the famous murdsrers and bank burglars, David l.. Stain and Oliver Cromwell, for the. mur- der of Treasurer J. W. Barron of the Dexter Savings bank began this morning. The case was opened by General Orville D. Baker and County Attorney T. H. Appleton. Lewis A. Barker appears for Stain and Patrick H. Gill len for Cromwell When the prisoners were brought into court at 10:30 o'clock Stain looked pale and haggard and cast his nervous eyes about the courtroom. He has been in the habit of dyeing his moustache black, but since his confinement has not been allowed any hair dye. His coarse moustache now looks fiery red, and changes his appear ance materially. Cromwell held his head down and was very nervous. His close con fiuement has told on him remarkably. The panel was completed this afternoon after both sides had repeatedly availed themselves of their right of challenge. Hon. s. c. Hatch of Bangor was chosen foreman of the jury. At o'clock County Attorney Appleton opened the case for the government. MT. Appleton occupied an hour and half and most careful attention was given his words | by the audience The court then adjourned until tomorrow morning.

The Flags Captured tn the Rebellion.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The Speaker laid before the House to-day voluminous report from the Secretary of War in response to the Boutele resolution calling on him for his tory of the flags captured in the war of the rebellion. The report quotes the resolution in full and then traces the history of the dis position of the captured flags. Aeeompany- ing the report are 8 number of exhibits here Uofore published, including lists of recap- tured Union flags delivered by the War de- partment to State governors and others; of Confederate flags delivered to certain parties on application; the letter of the adjutsnt- general suggesting the return of the flags with the Presidents approval; the Presi- dents revocation and descriptive list of the flags remaining in the department as far as they can be identified. The Secretary states that nane of the flags have gone out of the War department during the present admin istration. but that some were returned to the captors under the administration of Secre- tary Stanton. The law of 1914, the Secre- tary says, applies to the return of flags cap tured from foreign countries, and that there is nothing to authorize the return of flags captured in the United States.

deferred Anglo-Saxons from taking the
part of the slave. Then there is feel
ing of pride in our ability to vanquish
all competitors in an open field. All
these feelings and sentiments make
special legislation against the Chinese
distasteful.
On the other hand, it is a fact that
wherever the Chinese have gone in great
numbers it has been found necessary in
few years to resort to special legisla-
ton to regulate them. Moreover, Anglo
Saxons, with all their love of fairness
and all their pride in their own ability,
have j3ined in the feeling that fairness
and pride must be put aside in dealing
with the Chinese question. All that so
fair-minded and conservative a man as
the honorable Noble could say was:
Z" Let US be fair, so far as circumstances
will permit" The feeling is that it is
question as to who must go to the wall.
And the question will probably be
''argued out" in the same way that the
sailors argued out" the
delicate question: (Which OF us goes
to the kittle ?''

That Island.

The Bulletin thinks Lord Salisbury is
out of his reckoning in claiming Maitea
Island, if it belongs to the Marquesas
group. According to Rand, McNally
& Co.'s Atlas, it certainly does, being in
the index marked "French," while on
the map it is within the coloring marked
at foot "French." The island is nearly
due east of Tahiti and to the south of
Pepeete, in longitude "a degrees east,
latitude Is degrees south, in round num-
bers. Apparently it can have no con-
nection with the Channel Islands; at
all events unless mariners apply that
name to some group in the Pacific, as
was thought possible to be the case
when the London dispatch referred to
was clipped for these columns.

THE importance of passing during the
present Legislature the new election bill
and all bills, which, like that, contem-
plate thorough going and important re-
forms, cannot be too strongly urged.
We may never have as good a Legisla-
ture as this again. 1t is very likely we
will never have just such another. The
House thus far has been, on the best
bills, almost unanimous. The oppor-
tunity thus presented of putting the cleo
tons, the administration, the policy Of
the country, on as sound, rational, and
honest basis as is possible, is simply
too invaluable to be lost. Our Legisla-
lures hitherto have been as a rule not
even intelligent. Their lack of sense
has been even worse than their lack of
honesty. Having succeeded at last in
electing a body composed with a few
exceptions of intelligent men, we are
squandering golden moments if we do not
use them to make the laws and govern
ment of the country the work of intelh-
gence. Let us make this layer of golden
eggs lay good many before the moment
of dissolution.

The Diffusion Process.

Mr.. EDITOR You may make public
my opinion that " Diffusion" will prove
practical success in the manufacture of
cane sugar. We have made such decid-
ed improvements, and have so effectually
overcome the obstacles that at first stood
in our way, | am willing to state as my
judgment that by diffusion we will gain
largely in the percentage of sugar OBJ
tanned from the cane (say 10 to Is per
cent. in our best mills) at cost of not
to exceed one quarter % of ton of
coal to a ton of sugar, and less than one
dollar ($l.00) per ton for extra labor.
We are now running at the rate of over
thirty 800 tons of sugar per day of "a
hours, and passing all the diffusion juice
(miXed with charcoal or lignite) through
our two Kroog Filter Presses. The ex-
hausted chips make very fair fuel, COM
ing from tine two roller mill with less
than % per cent. of moisture in them
But we will do even better by and by.

ers on the hopes we may indulge in for
the future.

THE old difficulty of an excess of silver
cvin still exists, it is only kept from
activity by the large deposits in the
treasury and in Spreckels' and Bishops
banks. There is no other mode of re-
moving the difficulty Immediately than
by melting up the surplus silver and
replacing it with gold goin. The cost
of this, for say $500, 900, would probably
be 100000; but perhaps the permanent
benefit of that outlay would be inestim
able more than equal the outlay.
