THE CITY LOAN.
The Sixty-four Thousand Dollars Taken
by Woodbury. Sc Moulton at 1O4.41.

Yesterday noon, IN the city treasurer
Office, the Mayor, Alderman Guptill anc
Councilmen Johnston and Webb, of tht
city government committee on finance
met and opened the bids for the new loar
of $64, 900. This loan, which is to meet
city bonds which fall due on the coming
first of March, is to be payable in gold
on the first of March, 1914, twenty years
hence, and is to bear interest at Il pei
cent, payable semi-annually. The bonds
are to be issued in denominations of five
hundred and one thousand, according as
they are registered or coupon.
The bids, which were opened yesterday
were as follows:
N. W. Harris & Co., of Boston, 102. 70.
Maine Savings Bank, 103.53.
Portland Savings Bank. 103.50.
Woodbury. & Moulton, 104.41.
Portland Trust Company, 103. 766.
Farson, Leach & Co., of New York,
103063.
Gay &5 Stanwood. of Boston, 1928.
Brewster, Cobb & Esterbrook, of Bos-
ton. 1925
Blake Bros. & Co., of Boston, 103.14.
R. L. Day & Co., Of Boston, 10334S.
Dietz, Dennison & Prior, of Boston,
101.13.
Swan & Barrett, 103.60.
Blodgett, Merritt & Co., of Boston,
103.277.
Third National Bank of Boston, 102.2S5.
Fl. NJ. Payson & Co.. 103.0l3.
The highest bidders being Messrs.
Woodbury. & Moulton of this city, the
bonds were sold to them at 104.41. Sold
at this rate the issue of the $4,000 will
bring to the city s66, ,s22.4O. At the rate
at which the bankers pay the investment
will net about 3 11-16ths per cent.
This is probably the lowest rate at
which the city ever borrowed money.
Last year there was an issue of $4,000,
four per cent, for 20 years, like these,
and they were sold to Messrs. Woodbury.
& Moulton for 102 10, which would yield
about 13-16ths per cent. In 1887, the
large four per cent bonding loan of S727,-
900 was issued. OF this, S5S2, 900 were
sold at par, being taken by the Unor
Mutual, Swan & Barrett, J. B. Brown &
Co., and others. The remainder of the
loan was sold little higher, 101.25 being
obtained.
The present low rate of interest is un-
doubtedly due to the present financial
condition, brought about on the one
hand by the business uncertainty, and on
the other by the general suspicion which
recent experiences have thrown upon
Western and Southern investments.

WILLIAM G. TWoMBLY'S WILL.
Nearly the Entire Estate Is Left to the
Home for Aged Women in This City.

The will of the late William G.. Twom-
bly, was admitted to probate yesterday.
Mr.. Frederick Fox, ESQ.,, is named as ex-
ecutor, and the witnesses are Charles S.
d. Griffin, Jr., Frederick E. Moore, and
John Pagan.
After the usual preliminaries as to the
payment of the expenses of the funeral,
etc., the executor is directed to close up
the estate as soon as possible, turn it in
to cash, and apply the proceeds as fol-
lows:
The sum of $1,000 is to be invested in
the savings banks, and the income used
to care for the lot in Evergreen Cemetery
where the testator and his wife and
child lie buried. To Mrs. Ellen Hennes-
sy, now Mrs. Ellen Welch, faithful SER
want and old friend of the family, who
offered to loan Mr.. Twombly all the
''money she had when he suffered from
the great fire Of &c.," $500 are left. To
Mrs. Lizzie Adams, wife of Charles M.
Adams, $500 are left. One hundred dol,
lars are left to Miss Susie Quinn, sister of
Mrs. Adams, and like sum to James
Larry.
To Mrs. Elizabeth G. Twombly all the
household furniture ''except the fancy
chair with horns,'' which is left to
Erred" Fox, the books, plate, watch,
etc. The remainder of the estate, after
these bequests are paid, is devised to the
Home for Aged Women in this city.
The value of Mr.. Twombly's estate is
not known, but those best qualified TO
judge think it will not exceed $25, 1000,
and may not amount to over $4,000.

ed northward, the snow being good Afte.
the second day no more water pools were
encountered. The ice plateau sloped gently
upward. The snow was virgin white, soft
in the day, but hard at night. During the
first hours Of the night snowshoes had to
be used; otherwise the party walked in Or
dinary stout laced up boots. No "nuna-
tak"-lofty peaks rising above the ice
were seen, and the icy snowiield presented
but slightly undulating surface, and on
the last two days the undulation disappear
ed too. Before them lay the endless fiat
snowfield as far as the eye could reach
north, south, east, west.
On June 22-the seventh day out-the
party had reached about 10 miles inland
and was therefore in the latitude of the
colony of Frederikshaal. The change an
ticipated in the landscape here being alb
sent, Garde decided on the 23d to proceed
some distance due east and then shape
his course southeast for the Aputajuitsok
"nunatak. However, the snowfield re-
mained perfectly level. The altitude was
now about 1000 feet. In spite of these
tempting conditions and the apparent fact
that he could easily have crossed the Green
never hitherto achieved in that altitude
Garde decided that his duty was rather to
reconnoiter Aputajuitsok, and to ascer-
tain the conditions of the ice around this
peak. 1t was clear that the spur of the
Greenland continent had been obtained,
and the route to the east coast lay before
the explored like a macadamized highroad.
But duty demanded his return.
The route back lay along the north
shore of the ford Ikersuak. Here the ice
was very much rent and dangerous. The
route ran from west southwest to north
northwest. On June 2S, the final day of
the wanderings, Is miles were covered, the
last seven or so being almost impossible
through the broken state of the ice. Ian 4
was reached only two miles to the west of
calculations, and after the fatiguing fort
night the delight of sleeping on the soft
green heather may be better imagined than
described
Although Nansen crossed Greenland in
higher latitude-65 degrees north-in
1883, and Nordenskjold twice, in 1870 and
again in 1888, made incursions on the in
land ice, covering about 200 miles, not to
mention Peary and Maigaard's remarka-
bly, successful expedition in 1878, in lati-
tude 7S degrees north, when he reached
some $50 miles inland-it should be borne
in mind that all these expeditions were
carefully planned and equipped for the
purpose in view, whereas, with the Garde
party, such was not the case. Neverthe-
less here is the fact that three young and
intrepid students of science venture boldly
upon an Undertaking that would have ap-
palled many stout arctic voyager and
accomplished as much as the carefully pre-
pared expeditions referred to in the way of
adding to our knowledge of the vast mys-
tic polar continent, an achievement which
may certainly rank among noteworthy arc
tic ventures.

A Race OF Giant Cannibals,

Unlikely as it may seem to some who
read these lines, it is a fact neverthe-
less that there is an island in the gulf
of California, not more than 90 miles
from the Mexican mainland, which is
inhabited by the remnants of race of
giant cannibals. This startling discov-
cry was made by west coast natural
list early in 1891 and has since been
confirmed by both United States and
Mexican explorers. Mr.. Mcnamara,
the scientist referred to, has photo
graph of one of the men found by him
on the island, that individual, although
not one Of the largest, being over feet
in height. The island upon which they
were found is known as the island or
isle of Leri, and the original discoverer
says that there is every evidence of can
nibalism among them. Louis Re-

Nine. Betsy Patterson Bonaparte, the
sister-in-law of an emperor, was born in
Baltimore, and after living many years
abroad returned to her native land,
where she passed the last years of her
life.
Ono Of the old lady's crack stories in
her latter days was of a lesson in eti-
quette given her by the black butler Of
her host. At breakfast she motioned
to him and handed him her cup, wish
ing second cup of tea. Uncle Bob,
instead of taking the cup to his mistress
at the head of the table, put it down
with great flourish on the sideboard.
But l wanted another cup of tea, 4"

Ibid you, mum9" blandly asked Un-
Gle Bob. "You see, mum, you put your
spoon in de saucer, an that means you
doan' want no mo- tea. When you
wants some mo- tea, de erect way is
to put de spoon in de cup-like dis
heah, b." and Uncle Bob gravely illustrat-
ed the "c'rect" method of procedure.
The family were on thorns, expecting
an outbreak from the sister-in-law of
an emperor, although there is no doubt
that black butler in his own baili-
wick could face an emperor himself,
but Betsy was only amused and laughed
heartily.
After so years Of money getting and
money saving, she realized in the lat
ter part of her life how futile il sll was

IN THE LAND OF ICE AND SNOW.
Lieutenant Garde's Interesting Experiences
Exploring Greenland.

Lieutenant Garde's Interesting Experiences
In Exploring Greenland.
The recent departure of the Walter Well
man expedition, which proposes to Try 10
reach the pole by sledging across the Ice
fields to the north of Spitzbergen island,
has revived general interest in this method
of arctic exploration. In this connection
most Americans will read with interest
the account of a rather remarkable marcn
across the icefields of Greenland made last
summer by Lieutenant I. V. Garde OF the
Royal Danish navy, with two companions.
Lieutenant Garde was dispatched by MS
government to survey the west coast OF
Greenland and but recently returned to
Copenhagen.
The little expedition started from the
Sermitsialik glacier, latitude 81 degrees
north. Lieutenant Garde had decided that
there should only be three men, as he had
only two sledges, each with load OF loO
pounds. He had to be back by the end oil
June to continue his survey of the coast,
but was provisioned for three weeks. BY
the aid of his boats crew, the sledges and
baggage were carried up to the edge of the
ice 300 feet above the sea, on the morn
ing of June l6. At 1890 the parties said
goodby to each other, and the expedition
began to march in a direction northeast by
one-uuarter east, the ice being fairly good.
The copious snow on the surface aided
the progress, and the weather being cold
six miles were covered that day. 1t then,
however, became apparent that they would
have to march at night and sleep in the
l. taG Gly at

covering some 200 miles, or half way across
Greenland, never hitherto explored in this

THE FOREHANDED MAN.
He Hesitates to Put Too Many Eggs Into
One Basket.


One Basket.
The forehanded farmer always has
something to sell. His crops are varied.
He hesitates to put too many eggs into
one basket or to give too much attention
to one particular crop. He needs to pro-
duce plenty of live stock and to have it
ready for sale at pretty much any time,
but particularly at the time when his
taxes or other well-defined payments
come due. His hogs form staple crop,
but he can without much difficulty raise
as well few colts and calves every wear,
bunch OF lambs or of wethers, an acre
or two OF potatoes and crop of turnips
to follow the early ones. He has good
flock of fowls and probably one of tur-
keys, OF ducks or of geese, either of
which will afford spending money for the
the lesser expenses of the household
every month of the year. Being fore
handed, he kept few good mich cows,
the female calves from which, if by a
good sire, are always in demand because
good mixers, and the steers may be
either killed in the winter for home use
or sold for beef. Then his folks are ant
at butter-making, and good butter is al
ways in demand at paying prices, and
his skim and butter milk make an ad-
mirable food for colts and calves, poultry
and pigs, and the more of it he has the
better. His aim must be to get into
stock as much as possible to consume
all his farm produces, for the forehanded
farmer cannot afford to haul hay or corn
or wheat to town. his stock must cor,,,
It then in manufactured form and
therefore at minimum Of expense. The
days OF all grain, tobacco, cotton, hemp,
ETC., are passed. Small farms, diversified
farming, rotation of crops and every
thing done well is now the order of the
day. 1t is that or nothing.

Sour MIX Bad for Pigs.

Sour milk is death to young pigs. 1t
isstrange that many people have handled
pigs years and never learned that pigs
stomach cannot digest sour milk. And
It is passing strange with what stub-
bornness they insist that sour milk is a
healthful food for pigs. have known
OF instances where employees Tilted with
their orders and fed sour milk ON tba
sly, and brought disaster on whole berd
OF pigs. Sour feed of any kind is fatal
to young pigs, whether fed to the dam or
directly to the pigs. The dam should
not be fed sour feed for the last month
preceding iarrowing time. "

SAMOAN TROUBLE.
Treaty Entered Into Between
Japan and Hawaii.
CANAL COMPANY BENEFITED.

Large Part OF the Money OF the Banco
Romano Given to Politicians to Sc
cure Their Support.
RoME.-The trial OF the directors and
officers of the Banco Romano has begun
in the Court of Assizes. 1t involves not
only officers of the bank, but politicians,
whose standing prior to the flight of Di-
rector Cucilello with 2,500O0O lire be-
longing to the Rome branch of the Bank
OF Naples was very high. The investi-
CATION last year OF the affairs of the
Bank OF Naples showed a deficit of 3 3,0OO,-
600 lire in the account with its Rome
branch, the sum having been paid out
in the course of several years without
any other than political consideration.
The investigation, which covered all the
bonds, showed the utmost confusion in
the other institutions. The cash deficit
OF the Banco Romano was 28,6U0. 600
lire, and the illegal notes OF the banks
issue since 1888 had reached "a, 200, 900
lire. A large part Of this money is said
to have been given to prominent politi-
clans in order to secure their election
and support. Signor Tanlengo, Gov
ernor of the Banco Romano; Cesare
Lazzarroni, the cashier of the bank; Sig
nor Monsillo Zammarano and three
others were arrested in connection with
this disclosure, but Lazzarroni, Tanlengo
and others were acquitted. The scandal
resulted in the appointment of an Off
cial committee to investigate the whole
subject. The commission reported last
November, involving Pietro Lavaya.
Minister of Commerce, and the follow
ing Deputies: Count Machele Amadoir,
formerly Under Secretary of State; Pie
tro del Belchio, close friend of ex-
Premier .Giolitti; Philippe Gavallini,
Duke Gennaro di San Danto: Augusta
Aliasi; Baron Giovanni Nicoltera, Min
lister OF the Interior under Crispi; Sig
nor Bruno Chimirri, ex-Minister OF Ag-
riculture and of Justice and a number
Of others. The prosecution of the di-
rectors and officers OF the Banco Romano
was then ordered.
