Speaker Wiswell on taking the chair
said
Gentlemen Of the House Of Representa-
tives Allow me to express my grateful
appreciation of the compliment which you
have conferred upon me, and at the same
time my deep sense of the duties and re-
sponsibilities of the Office to which YOU have
elected me. | should indeed most keenlv
feel my inability to satisfactorily preside
over your deliberations il | We're not sure
that could safely rely to very great ex
tent upon your kind indulgence and coop
Grafton, | can only assure you that to
faithful performance of the duties of the
chair shall bring my best eudeayors, and
it will be my chief aim to preside over this
House with absolute impartiality. Gentle
men, we have been sent here by our re
spectiye constituents to deliberate and leg
iSlate for the welfare Of the whole State.
The rights of all the people and of all
classes should be jealously guarded and
their interests advanced whenever practi-
cable and possible 1t seems to me that to
so perform these duties as to merit at least
the appreciation of the people whom we
represent. two Things are necessary first,
we should waste no time, but upon the
other hand, no proposition submitted to US
for consideration should be accepted with
out the most careful and painstaking de-
liberation and examination. Let me sim
ply express the wish. in closing. that our
deliberations may be thoughtful and our
conclusions wise; that the greatest rivalry
may be in search for the right and the
truth and that all of our acts shall be fruit
full in good for our beloved State and the
people within its borders. Gentlemen, l
await the pleasure of the House. 1Ap-
plause.

Joint Caucus.

The joint Republican caucus called for
the purpose of nominating State officers
convened "Wednesday evening in the hall
of the House of Representatives at %
Hon. Charles +. Libby, President of the
Senate, was called to the chair The in
terestng feature of the caucu, was the
contest in the fifth district. There were
two candidates for the position of coun-
cilor from Hancock county-John W
Somes Of Mt. Desert, and Parker Spotford
of Bucksport. DR.. Grindle of Mt. Desert.
explained to the caucus that a meeting Of
the Hancock county delegation had been
held and vote taken on the two candi-
dates, the result being tie, each candi-
date having received five votes. The dele
CATION had therefore decided to submit the
contest to the joint caucus DR.. Grindle
then advocated the candidacy of Mr.
Somes, making his claims on the basis of
locality, which, he asserted, was most
important factor in politics. The western
part of Hancock county has been getting
the lions share of Offices for long time,
and this very matter of the counclorship
was an excellent example of it. 1t has
been more than twenty years since the
eastern section has had Councillor, while
in that time the western part Of the county
sion, and now comes forward and claims
it for the fifth time. After urging the
personal fitness of his candidate for the
position, DR.. Grindle said that he submit
ted the matter to the judgment of the
caucus.
Senator Gilmore Of Hancock spoke in
Mr.. Spotford's behalf. He regretted that
the contest had been made sectional rather
than one of personal qualifications
The senator's eulogies of his candidate
were subscribed to by Mr.. Clason of Gardi-
ner, who seconded the nomination of Mr..
SpOfford.
Messrs Peaks, Grindle, Gilmore Mallet
and Harris were appointed committee to
receive, sort and count votes. The ballot
resulted:

The valuable and interesting reports Of
the Commissioners of Fisheries and Game
will be laid before you, and l earnestly
commend the recommendations therein
made to your careful attention. Every
thing possible should be done to sustain
the Commissioners in enforcing the laws
against these who wantonly violate them
Whatever the Legislature may be able to
do to secure the better protection of fish
and game, will advance the material inter-
ests of the State and merit the just approx
al of all its citizens.
THE PRESERVATION OF FOREST GROWTH
The preservation of forest growth is a
subject which is now attracting much
attention. Its importance has brought
about the formation of q number of worthy
organizations for furthering this work. At
the last meeting of the American Forestry
Association at Quebec in September last,
the State of Maine was very ably represent
ed by Hon. George F. Talbot of Portland.
When it is considered that there is an
annual loss by fires Of growing timber in
the United States equal to an area half as
large as Maine, and that very large per
cent. of such fires is due to carelessness,
apparent. 1t will merit your careful at
tentiOn.

A Monument of the Past,

etonehenge is the name given to q
DruidicaI temple by the Saxons, mean-
ing hanging stones, from the likeness
to a gallows. The ancient Britains
called it Main Ambers, or sacred
stones. The temple is surrounded by
ditch fifty feet wide; the outer cir
Gle consisted of sixty stones, thirty
perpendicular, twenty feet in height
and nearly four feet apart. On the
tops of these were thirty imposts, reg
ularly united; within this was Sec
ond circle of forty stones, smaller and
void of imposts. There are indica-
tons of two ovals of stones interven-
ing. Within the second circle was the
cell or adytum, iu which was the altar,
a huge slab of blue marble. The
whole structure consisted of one hun
dred and forty stones. So many of
these enormous stones have fallen that
the general appearance has become
wild and presents stnpendous pile of
dilapidation; yet by walking around
and clambering amid the PROSTATE
masses, the original design may be
traced. There are three entrances to
the temple from the plain.-Christian

Oberly's Little Joke.

They say that when Mr.. John 81.
Oberly, the "bishop," was a younger
man than he is now he was an ire
pressible joker. A member Of the
Jefferson Club, who claims to know
what he is talking about, tells US that
John was born at just / o'clock In the
morning, and relates the following
circumstances concerning the twenty
first anniversary of that event: The
entire household wa. asleep excepting,
presumably, young Oberly. AT few
minutes after o'clock he went to the
door Of each bedroom and with feigned
cautiousness aroused the sleeper. say
ing:
"There's q man In the house."
Presently everybody was up half
dressed. Some ventured out into the
halls and others stood timidly in their
half-open doorways, while still
others remained out of sight behind
locked doors.
"Come out here" said John to those
who had not left their rooms; 81 tell
you there's a man in the house."
"Finally he succeeded in getting
everybody into the hall, where the
group stood, half afraid, half ashamed
to show fear.
"Where is he?" said one.
"Here l am" answered John, '1
am a man. l was 81 fifteen minutes
ago."-Washington Post.

Austrian Opinion of American Women

American women, if they are not
always beautiful, at least know how to
make themselves appear so. Nowhere
have ever seen so many beautiful
women as in America, including even
old women with white hair. The native
American girl, especially if of English
or Scotch descent, is large and slender,
generally blonde, with regular features
and remarkably small hands and feet.
The complexion is often pale; rarely
do they have the fresh color of Wen
nese girl. The most beautiful girl I
have ever come across in my life saw
in q New York store. She was an
American of Spanish descent, of lit
orally dazzling beauty, such as had
never before encountered in life or
on canvas. The happiest marriages
are those Of American msn to German
women.
