SOMEBODY WAS Ratified
And So the Fire Department Had Long,
Hard Run.

Last night Police Officers Heath and
Phillips discovered that the pile of lum-
ber and rubbish left where the old tan
merry buildings were recently torn down
on Grove street, was blazing merrily.
The officers might have let the fire burn
itself out had it not been that a near by
fence gave it splendid chance to run
away and do considerable damage. AT
about o'clock, Officer Phillips started
to go to the engine house on Bracket
street intending to call out the hose cart
and have the flames quietly extinguished
while the majority of the members of the
fire department slept peacefully on un-
disturbed. The officers told several per-
sons whom they met not to pull an
alarm, but this warning did not reach
the ears of one man who saw the blaze and
at 1. Is turned in an alarm from box II
at the corner of Portland and Weymouth
streets. So the long procession of ap-
paratus, led by the uptown engines and
with the new chemical engine bringing
up the rear, streamed down onto Port
land street and out to the poor farm.
One stream was put on the blaze and it
was soon subdued.
The chemical acted as rear guard to
the column because the horses were
green. For time they refused to stand
under the harness long enough to have it
swung into place. Finally they were Sc
cured to the apparatus, but even then
they started wrong and insisted on going
up town via Federal street. However,
they made good time after they were
once in motion and got there in time to
see the fire.

tions between the employer and en-
ploye the employer enjoys the privilege
of determining the rate of wages; wheth-
er, if so the resulting condition is con-
ducive to good society, or tends to pro-
mote the general welfare, and whether
Congress has jurisdiction over the sub
ject matter to the extent of providing
remedial legislation, and, if SO what leg
islation is necessary to afford the proper
relief. The resolution at Mr.. PETER S
request was laid on the table.
At 2.15 the anti-option bill was taken

Especial to the Press.1

ST. JOHN, N. B., July 21.-There was
considerable surprise here today when q.
despatch was received from Eastport
stating that W. Robert May of the firm
of J. S. May & Son, merchant tailors, had
been arrested there by Special United
States Treasury Agent Converse J. Smith
of Boston, on a charge of smuggling.
From what can be learned from the pur-
ser, who arrived in this city tonight from
Eastport, Smith claims he has complete
evidence to convict. The firm had rep
resentative in Boston who received or
ders, which were filed by the firm in st.
John, and forwarded on the Interna-
| tional steamer to Boston, an en-
| ploye of an express COM
pany being a party to the
| transaction. Smith says the SNUG.
| Cling has been extensive and carried ON
| for years but this arrest will succeed in
breaking up the traffic. May was in
duced to come to Eastport by a decoy
| letter. Agent Smith has been working
| on this case for months. 1t is further
| stated that May with the express mes
| senger were taken to Portland for exam
| ination.
James S. May, the head of the firm,
when interviewed said that his son had
gone to Eastport on receipt of telegram
| from person with whom he was ac-
| quainted Arriving there he was arrest
ed. Mr.. May further said that while in
| Boston some time ago he was asked by
| man he did not know to make him suit
of clothes but he did not. This person
| was evidently acting for the special
agent who made the arrest. So far as
W. R. May is concerned his father said
he never measured or sold a suit of
clothes in the States and any attempt -
connect him personally with any tr-..-
sactions which involve smuggling will
be futile. There is a strong suspicion
that the the telegram which adj
dressed to Mr.. May was forgery. If
this can be shown it will make it inter-
esting for the person who made the ar
rest, says Mr.. May.

the lead with which tea. chests are lined.
China has been noted for many centuries
Tor purity Of its lead, and this tea.chest
lead, as it is called, is regarded as the
finest in existence. There are many uses
for it; it is found very valuabiein making
the best kind of solder. No machinery
is employed in the production of this
sheet lead every sheet is made by hand
IN the most primitive fashion. A large
brick is provided, the size Of the sheet of
lead to be made, and is covered with two
OF three sheets Of paper. On these the
molten lead is poured, and another brick
is placed on the top, which fattens the
lead out the required size and thickness.
The sheets are then soldered together to
the size of the interior Of the tea chest;
the tsa is packed in, and the top sheet is
fastened in place. The workmen are
very expert, and they turn out an i'm
mcnse number Of sheets IN the course Of
day, and, where labor is so cheap, at a
price much less than if the articles were
produced neutrality-suspicious. Trau-

The terror of blackberry pickers in the

ever seen cheagre save under micro
scope, and certainly he is usually invisi-

his size. The cheagre comes like thief
in the night. No one is conscious of his
coming, and oft&a his presence is not
detected for hours after his arrival, but
in due time he makes hims' If known. The
victim is seized with an intolerable itch

ing affords only temporary relief. Pimples
rise over the itching spots, and are soon
scrsped raw by the cheagre's tortured
victim Meanwhi the invisible enemy
keeps on burrowing. and the itching con

it ceases, the victim has the unpleasant
consciousness that all is over probably
because the cheagrc has died somewhere
