The Scarcity of Water Yesterday Morning
The scarcity of water yesterday was
not caused by shutting off for the new
sewer on Portland street, but by a break
in the main pipe at Stroudwater. The
old main pipe has been turned to the
high service supply, and this, with the
reservoirs will ensure full supply until
the pipe is repaired at Stroudwater.
There were some interesting mistakes
in the city and Deering. Many people,
finding that the water did not respond
when they turned the faucets, and know
ing that the morning was intensely cold,
concluded that the pipes were frozen.
Many people spent an hour thawing
them out. One Deering man triumphant
ly told his neighbor in an electric that he
had had hard job, but had conquered
and obtained water. An inquiry as to
the time when he won the victory showed
that it was just the hour when the water
was turned on again.

Chebeague Island.

A serious accident happened to one of
the prominent citizens of Chebeague Isl
and last week. Mr.. James Hamilton
was backing a team into his coal shed
when the cart tipped, pitching him head
foremost between the frightened horse
and wheels. His feet caught on the
front part of the cart. In this position
he was dragged several feet with his
head on the ground. Then he fell, the
side wheels of the cart passing over his
body. Two scalp wounds and several
bodily injuries were sustained.
The lobster fishermen of Chebeague
no longer intend to crawl along the
shores in small boats during the winter,
but have provided themselves with YES
sells carrying six or more with which
they propose to capture the bipeds in
deep water.

pursuit of happiness Surely there is no
liberty, happiness or justice in being
robbed OF the power to protect ourselves,
our homes and our loved ones by the
power of the ballot which the is mightiest
power in govern ment.

The cause of Woman's Suffrage is be
coming more and more popular every
year in Maine and, in fact it has made
rapid advancement throughout the
United States, British Provinces and
Europe. In England women have the
power to vote on all matters except
electlng members of Parliament. The
last act of Parliament on this line seems
to be the last step, but one towards full
and equal suffrage, and Lady Henry
Somerset says they will have full suffrage
before we of the United States have It.
Let us not permit it but hasten TO the
front ranks with celebrity.
All intelligent people now acknowledge
that equal suffrage is coming sometime.
Perhaps the new century just at hand
will find the country on the new plans of
progress through government by all the
people, not by half as now. Let those
that are doubtful and think it impossi-
BILE remember that il is the impossibilities
that happen in these days of discovery
and invention.
During the last two years the cause in
our state has taken long strides of ad-
vancement and we confidently hope that
the next legislature will give municipal
suffrage to the women of the state.
"A bill asking for this was as you
know presented to the last legislature
and was ably advocated by many of the
ablest members but defeated in the
House by few whose only reason was
the silly ana really untruthful one that
women do not want to vote. -
Mrs. Bailey continued, speaking fitting
words in memory of Lucy Stone Black
we'll, detailing the efforts made by the
woman suffragists in the last legislature
and reviewing the progress of the cause
in other states and countries.
