BATHS WATER SUPPLY.
The City Fathers at Loggerheads Over the
Hydrant Contract. ,-.
Especial to the Press ]


Bath, February IA second special
meeting of the city fathers took place
last evening. Little was accomplished
beyond d44dlo4k in the lower board.
The meeting was called to consider the
questions of water or its absence, and
snow or it's excessive presence. The
water I'D decidedly the best of it, for,
OWING to the discussion lasting till
twenty minuets of one, the snow question
was not touched upon. An order was in
troduced for the making ready of every
available piece of fire apparatus in the
sity for service and the matter of the
water company bearing a proportional
part of the expense, received due con-
sideration. This order was safely put
through both branches.
Then came the contest over the hyrant
rental. An order was introduced and
passed the upper board by an unanimous
vote to abandon the hydrant system,
thus putting an end to the practice of
paying $4,000 per year for pipes full of
wind and cells, and to return the
wrenches, etc., to the company. 1t went
down for concurrence. and there was
trouble Immediately, the vote resultln g
IN tie, six to six.
Councilman Ernest f. Kelley led the
opposing forces, who took the ground
that the contract was not broken Those
siding with Mr.. Kelley were President
Weeks. Councimen Sprague, Hicks and
Hyde. Although committee of con-
ference, consisting of three councilmen
and two aldermen, wrestled with the
problem for over an hour, no result at
Tended their discussion Four or five
times the ballot was taken, but still the
vote stood six to six The matter will
come up again at thesnext meeting.
Councilman Kelley's ground is that it
is not for the city's interest to break
the contract. Said he: A poor service is
better than none. We are to blame for
the poor service we now have. The COM
pay are doing their best to give US SER
vice. They have alread bought their pipe
for change. If we break with them
they will be seriously crippled"

Mr.. Gladstone's Future.

London, February 1.-The Pail Mall
Gazette, which yesterday announced
that it had learned from an authoritative
source that Mr.. Gladstone intended to
resign office; before the next session of
Parliament, to-day publishes qualified
re-assertion Of itsg previous statement.
1t says that it was prepared for contra
diction of tile statement on the part of
the press and government officials, but
was not prepared for the virtual confirm
alton of the story by Mr.. Gladstone
himself. Continuing, the paper says it
knew that Mr.. Gladstone's intentions
had been conveyed to few, if any, of his
colleagues, and adds that whatever
change publicity may effect. it is now
certain that MI. Gladstone's tenure of
office will b. limited to months. if not
weeks.
Other papers denounce the Gazette's
publication.

The OIeander.

Notwithstanding the oleander is num-
bered among poisonous plants, and it is
really believed that it was the flowers of
the oleander and not the rhododendron
that caused such trouble in the army of
Xerxes, no trouble has ever been found
from them in America, Notwithstanding
in the southern states they are so extern
sively grown. Some of tie English papers
are endeavoring to create a sentiment
against them, but all we can find to war
rant this is something that happened in
1909, when it is said some Spanish SOL
diers used the wood for skewers in roast
ing meat, and few children many years
ago died through eating the flowers. Pos
sibly it may be that in america children
get so many things better to eat than ole
anders that this may be the reason, there
fore, for the general immunity of Ameri-
can people and children from any injury
resulting from the cultivation of this beau.

"Faustn will be the attraction at the
Portland Theatre next Monday and
Tuesday. The story of love, temptation
and punishment by remorse, as pictured
in this play, is immortal. 1t is as old as
the world, as new as young love. 1t can
never fail to interest human beings so
long as they have reason and human
hearts. Lewis Morrison is said to be
one of the best actors of America in a
line of parts that includes Mephisto. He
makes the devil plausible and pleasing
sort of fellow, not horned and cloven-
footed terror.
The scenery for this production of
Faust" is very elaborate and is all car
ried by the company, while the mechani-
cal and electrical effects are novel and
startling. Each scene is picture, the
one in the Broken noun tains being
simply grand.
The Opera Season,
The subscription sale of season tickets
for the grand opera season at Mechanics
Building Auditorium, Boston, has al
ready far surpassed the highest hopes of
Manager John B. Schoeffel, who has had
the direct charge of this part of the en-
terprise. If the amount already sub
cribed were for any ordinary enterprise
every possible expense and handsome
profit would be now assured As it is,
there has never before been exhibited
such superlative interest in any under
taking, and Messrs. Abbey, Schoeffel &
Grau have right to be proud of the sue
cess attending this great undertaking
thus far advanced.
There were about 2,400 seats sold for
the three performances of Injured limo
cents yesterday, the largest advance sale
yet recorded.
Slivinski seats should be secured at
once at Stockbridge's. Only few days
remain before the great pianist will be
heard here at City Hall.
Dixey in "Adonis' is looked forward
to with great anticipation by the lovers
OF fun. He will be supported here by
the great company that has filled the
Park Theatre in Boston so long.

Then why Did Boston's Italian Banker
Lock Up Shop and Depart?

Boston, February 1.-Adolphus Cohn
of the New York banking house of
Paldin & Co., has been investigating the
affairs of Ferdinand de Filippo, the
missing proprietor of the italian bank at
the North End. He states he is unable
to find any evidence to warrant the fears
for the soundness of the bank and that
several discrepancies appear to be all in
de Filippo's favor. In several cases the
depositors' bank books showed the with
drawal of money not entered on the bank
ledger. He states that, according to the
books, de Filippo really owes himself
nearly $4,000. Mr.. Cohn expresses the
fullest confidence in the sourdness of the
institution. The cause of the sudden
departure of de Filippo from the city
under such circumstances is mystery to

es of all employees, from the head officers
