The coming meeting OF the Maine
Pedagogical Society at Auburn, Dec u
Is, 20, ought to be largely attended.
Especial attention is to be devoted tc the
kindergarten, primary reading, by
giene, science, the course of study.
manual training, and coordination of
studies. Maine teachers are fortunate
in the opportunity to hear at home such
eminent educators as Supts. Dutton and
Ballet, and DR.. G. Stanley Hall whose
research excited national interest. The
railroads give half rates to the meeting.

1t appears by the report of Admiral
Walker on Hawaii, called for in the reso-
luton introduced by Senator Lodge, that,
notwithstanding the Cleveland admins
tration spurned the offer made by the
Provisional government of that Island
country, England was ready and
anxious to secure a foothold there, and
Consul General Woodhouse. the repre-
sentative of the British government
there. worked hard and long for the
restoration of the eX-Queen even after
he had been accredited to the Dole gov
eminent. Thus were Mr.. Cleveland and
his Secretary of State found working in
harmony with the British government,
in its Interest, and against the interest
of their own country. Mr.. Hawcs, sue
cessor of Woodhouse, Admiral Walker
shows while accredited to the Dole gov
eminent was privately in touch with
Lilioukani and her adherents. japan
also wants greater influence at Honolulu
and desires the right of suffrage extend
ed to her subjects there. Could they
have this the $4,000 Japs now there
could be increased by immigration and
divert Hawaii from its present destiny
as IA part of the American system. Ad-
miral Walker does not say in so many
words that he favors annexation to the
United States, but his whole report is a
strong argument in that direction.

BY the annual report of the Maine
Central railroad company we learn that
there was falling off in passenger
earnings for the year ending Sept. 30,
ls9i, of S245. 900, aud in freight earn
ings of $4,000, while in mails it shows
an increase of 1000. Last year the
surplus was $50, TO; this year it is
S42,7l0. The total number of passen-
gers transported for the year was 207l,-
800 and the tons of freight 2,19l SD. 1t
took llS,515 tons of Bituminous. and
5,302 tons of Anthracite coal and 1884
cords of wood to provide the necessary
heat to generate steam to run the trains
and to keep stations, offices aud shops
warm for the year. Among the i'm
proyements We note the laying of II
miles of new steel rails. nearly 6 miles
of side track. 1912 feet of new heavy
steel bridges have replaced lighter spans
during the year beside other extensive
repairs. Nearly three quarters of mil
lion dollars have been expended in main
tenanse of way and buildings. The
large sum of S26l ,l35 Is was paid for
the one item of labor in general repairs
of track. New bridges cost 73.167.SS
and repairs of bridges and eulyerts
S31 ,o07.0s, while working trains and
extra crews amounted to 81, 00l.03.
Truly, it not only costs money to con
struct and equip Il railroad, but to run
one also and keep it in first-elass condi-
ton. as The Maine Central eertainlN docs

and to disturbing the peace and was fined
So for each offense. He paid the fines
and costs. Brooks and j. b. Cobb, who
was arrested on Monday, also owned to
intOxicatiOn and paid each fine of So
and the usual costs.
Haney and Brooks disclosed on n. F..
Rider and Charles Dano, who have a
store in the Cobb block. These two
were arrested and tried, Mr.. Wilds APP
pearing for them. Rider was fined $40
and costs for selling and $40 and costs

aud $40 for keeping. the fines and costs

Winfield Smith, Is years of aye, san

under an Overturning load of logs at
Belden's Falls at noon Tuesday and in
stahtly killed.
The young man was in the employ of
j. K. GoodrO ana was engaged in draw
ing logs from Roaring brook, three miles
east OF this village, to the mill of the
Belden's Falls Pup Co. at Belden's
Falls. The scene of the accident was
the culyert through which the highway
goes under the railroad at the Falls.
The road was bare of ice in that vicil ity
and teams kept in the ditch till they
reached the culvert, when it was necces-
sary to take the road. In making the
change from the ditch to the road the
load began to tip and young Smith tried
to jump. 1t is supposed that his foot

weight of the load had come upon him,
his feet sticking out at one side of the
mass of logs and his head at the other
His chest was crushed and his back
broken. The head was but slightly
mutiated.
The body was brought to the under
taking rooms of Brewster & Co. and
prepared for burial, and in the afternoon
was taken to the home of his parents in
RiptOn. Mr.. Smith was an Industrious
young man, and his death Is sad blow

The discussion of the Wilson tariff bill
is still going on in the house at Wash
ington. Tomorrow is the day set for the
closing debates. Numerous amendments
have been adopted, so that as it stands
the bill as a whole is not looked upon
with favor in any part of the country.
1t provides Tor the abolition of the
bounty on sugar and for the free entry of
refined sugar, thus antagonizing the
sugar planters of the South. 1t also
provides for free iron, which makes the
iron producers of Alabama howl; while
its free-wool features will not commend
1t to the wool-growers of the North.
However, the bill is not yet law. The
house is expected to vote on it next
Monday.
