Special Officer Charles Gustafson saw
them and thought that they were not
sufficiently clothed for such a public

Judge Ferry assessed Richie So this

are too careless about their appearance,

The Maine Press Association.

The citizens Of Augusta extend TO the
members of the Maine Press Association
most cordial welcome, and hope that
their stay in our city may be both a pleas
ant and a profitable one. The former
meetings of the association, at the capitol,
during the biennial sessions OF the Legis-
lature have been events which have teen
most pleasantly remembered by the peo-
pie of this city, who have then hau an
opportunity to meet and become ac-
onaintetl with the men and women who
carry on the newspaper and printing bust
ness of our State. We believe that these
occasions have also been enjoyable ones To
the members of the association them
selves, and we trust that the present
meeting will be no exception to the rule
While the work of the association has
been to a large extent social. and most en-
ioyably SO, we believe that those who
have participated in its gatherings have
derived much positive benefit therefrom
An interchange of views and experiences,
among those engaged in common call
ing, can never fail to be beneficial to all
concerned. There has, too, been crafty
ing disposition upon the part of the men,
bers of the association to enlarge, as much
as possible, the distinctively business feat
ures of these gatherings. There can be
no doubt that there are many points upon
which there should be greater harmony
of action among the publishers of the
State. "In union there is strength and
often newspaper publishers have been
losers, through lack of organization and
definite business standards. There are
many OF these problems, relative to the
establishing of fair business standards,
which an organization like the Maine
Press Association is specially well quail
fled to solve In this direction there is a
large field for legitimate effort, and we
trust that the Maine Press Association,
with the kindly spirit of fellowship and
cooperation that has always been charac
teristic of it's work will direct its labors,
as largely as possible in the years to come
along these lines.

The house committee on naval affairs
has surprised its friends, aud disappointed
the predictions of its enemies, by making
a liberal and patriotic report. 1t author
ICES the construction of three big coast
line battle ships at a minimum cost of s4,
900, 900 for each and includes along with
them twelve first class torpedo boats
which may cost $40, 600 each The re-
port also provides for the securing of re-
serve supplies of guns and ammunition in
order that they may be Immediately
available in case of need. Perhaps how
ever, the most important feature of the
bill is that permitting the enlistment of
1000 additional men,. It will be remem-
bered that the secretary of the navy, in
his report, called for 5000, declaring that
"this number will be absolutely necessary
to man properly the vessels which will
be ready for commission within the next
nine months. While the committee has
not seen fit to grant the secretary the
number of men he called for, as might
well have been done, to the greatly in
creased efficiency of the navy, yet the
fact that they have decided to recon-
mend anything in that direction is a sur
prise to the people generally, who have
feared in view of the condition of the
treasury, that they would ignore the re-
quest entirely. The appropriations which
the bill calls for are s31, SS1, 900, or
about Sc, 500, 600 more than the appropria-
tions of last year. On the whole. we think
the bill reported by the committee will
meet with the general approval of the
American people, and we certainly hope
that Congress may give it prompt pas
sage.

William Wizards Portrait Of Chief Justice
Appleton.

Among several portraits lately painted
by William Willard of prominent citizens
of Bangor is one of Chief Justice John
Appleton which has attracted a good deal
of attention, not only on account of its
success as a likeness, but for the feeling
it carries with it of the personality of the
subject. 1t is something more than paint
and canvas; it is clear cut and definite
Interpretation of the man, full OF dignity
and character, easy and natural, and free
from stiffness of pose. From an artistic
point of view it is one of the best OF Mr..
Wizards later portraits. 1t is painted
in low tone against dark background,
which brings out in strong contrast the
white hair and beard of the venerable
chief Justice. The flesh tints are rich
and pure and the head is splendidly
modelled. Transcript.
Mr.. Willard arrived in this city, Mon
day, and is now at the Augusta House.
1t was sincere pleasure to us, on Mr..
Wizards invitation, to visit bis rooms and
to look upon the portrait of the late
Chief Justice Appleton. While not an
art critic it seems to us that what the
Transcript says, is entirely correct. For
many years, we had the pleasure
of an intimate acquaintance with
Judge Appleton-one of the most dis
tinguished jurists who ever graced
the supreme bench of Maine. A view
of Mr.. Wizards portrait conveys to
us the impression that Judge Appleton is
himself present in the flesh and about to
converse in his Enthusiastically vigorous
and entertaining manner. The portrait is
in the highest sense, work OF art and
cannot fail to please the many friends of
the late Chief Justice Appleton. Ed.

integrity, and sound business judgement,
the people of Maine have the fullest con-

work they have accomplished, is the lest
possible proof that this confidence is not
misplaced. We cordially commend the
report to the careful attention of our

splendid enterprise in issuing an illus
