and it was not until 2 o'clock this

At 10 O'Clock, when Manager

After pounding on the door ten

no response from Jake the young
women sat down and had a good
cry. Big, fat tears cOursed down
the cheeks of fluffy haired bru-

be sitting up waiting for her. From
tears the young women changed to
laughter, and then they tried to
arrest the watchman's attention
with snatches of song. But he was

The Supply Of whalobon..

A fact which is likely to cause
women immense pain and difficulty Is
the failure in the supply of whale.
bone. When one considers that
nothing can take its place or cause Q
gown to fit so well the outlook II
truly alarming, As matter of fact
the supply has fallen off just one-hali
In the last few years. Until recently
the American market handled 5O0,.
900 pounds annually, now it is barely
200, 900. In the matter of price, In
1912 the best quality of bone In the
raw state sold for 29 cents per pound,
now the same grade costs 1915.
Adding the profits of manufacturers,
the cost of the finished bone is $40
per pound to-day. The reason for all
this is that the bowhead whales,
which furnish the bone, are moving
further north every year and become
constantly more difficult to capture.
These animals, each of which is
worth about $40, 900, have an enor-
nous head, larger than all the rest
of the body. The mouth is furnished
with double row OF whalebone
blades, about 500 in number, varying
from seventeen to three feet in
length. These are used by the
creature to strain its food. 1t is a
very difficult matter to capture
whale even after it has been har-
pooned. Last year at whaling
station bombs were shot into 200
whales, but only fifteen or twenty
were captured. The greatest catch
last year was only twenty-one. The
average catch is eight, but many
steamers get only two or three. The
preparation of the bone is not diff
cult. 1t is taken in quantities of
500 pounds and soaked in water till
1t becomes soft enough to work. 1t
is then cut into strips. The bone is
sold by the gross, and a gross weighs
about two and half pounds.

THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Look Over the Plans for a New schoo
House.


There was a special meeting of the
school committee held last evening, with
the Mayor, Messrs. Blake, Mcdonald,
Thompson, Bradley and Superintendent
Lord present.
The committee looked over the plans
of F. Fl. Fassett, Esq, for a new school
house of the pavilion style, for the West
end, to take the place of the present Low
ell street school-house, said to be unfit
for the purposes for which it was in
tended.
The new plans propose an airy, well
equipped house of twelve rooms, of
which only half is expected to be erected
at present, and which will cost when
completed $4,000, of which $500 was
appropriated in the estimates and appro-
priations bill passed last spring for a new
school-house.
There was considerable discussion over
the plans but no action was taken there
on. The new house, when erected, will
be located near the almshouse, on
Portland street. 1t was said that it
would cost $2500 to remodel the old Low
ell street school-house.

uNo OR LAGER.
Judge Gould Decided There Was No Mis-
take.

In the Municipal Court yesterday
morning Judge Gould took up the search
and seizure case of Otto Mariner of No.
7 Franklin street. 1t seems that Depu-
ties Plummer and Sterling went to that
place Wednesday and found half dozen
men drinking several kinds of beer.
Some of this was found to be uno while
other was found to be straight but I'M
lawful lager.
Hon. M. P. Frank appeared for Marri-
ner, and when Deputy Plummer was on
the stand he closely questioned him as
to how he detected the difference be-
tween the two. He said the uno was
lighter in color and had less snap. The
defence was that if lager was found it
was a mistake and representative of a
Boston brewery was on hand to prove
company made different beers for Gus
toners in different states. The light
beer, known throughout the length and
breadth of the state as uno, they sent to
Maine, Vermont and the no license
towns of Massachusetts,. The lager they
sent to places where it could lawfully be
sold. In the rush of the Fourth OF July
trade by a mistake in the labelling sew
eral half barrels of uno was sent to a
lager customer and the same number of
half barrels of straight lager was sent to
customers in prohibition community.
On investigation it was found that Mar
riner was the customer and that is how,
so the defence claims, Messrs. Plummer
and Sterling happened to find lager in
his place.
Judge Gould, however, did not consid-
er that there was sufficient evidence of
an unintentional mistake, for he found
Mariner guilty and sentenced him. The
latter appealed.

St Bernard dog belonging to j. Edward
Lawrence of this city, formerly of Lew
iston, died Wednesday afternoon. Many
people, young and old, will mourn her as
the loss of true friend; friend who
had greeting for one and all, and who
was never too tired or too lazy to wag
her tail in recognition of a kind word.
The dog had been down to Higgins S

as far as the station, and it proved too
much for her. Mr.. Lawrence was on his
way home Monday afternoon. The dog
was very valuable one, and her loss
will not only be appreciated by her own
