The Railway to Prkia,


 Port Townsend, Wash, Dec. "A concession from the Chinese govern- ment to build railway from tide water to Pekin has been obtained by a sym dicate of American capitalists. The road will be about 200 miles long and will tap a valuable coal mining district. The operation and construction of the line will ostensibly be under the direct patronage of the Chinese government, but American capital ana engineers are the principal factors in the scheme.
 Among the men said to be in the deal are Senator Calvin s. Brice of Ohio, Whitelaw Reid of New York, ex-Secre- tary of State John w Foster, and oth- CTS, The plan was originally conceiv- ed, it is said, by ex-Collector of Gus toms A. w. Bash of this city, who, while MT. Foster was acting as advisory counsel for the Chinese government in affecting a treaty of peace with Japan, visited Pekin and laid the proposition before Lii Hung Chang and a represen- tative of the Dowager Empress. Bash at that time was acting in be- half of a railroad constructing com- pany, among the stockholders of which are Governor John Ii. McGraw, Judge HOyt of the supreme court and ex-Sena- tor Dolph of Oregon. In due time the Chinese authorities, upon the advice of Mir Foster, considered the plans and later granted the concession.
 Having these concessions in proper shape, an adequate amount of capital is said to have been enlisted in the east to carry out the enterprise. Bash is coming west now from New York, and has engaged passage on the next steam ship bound to the Orient.
 Bash will be accompanied by two rail- road engineers, who will view the pro posed route and estimate the cost of construction. If the report is favora- bly, received force of engineers will commence the survey next spring
 The line is said to extend through a comparatively level plain, and the cost of building should not exceed $35, 900

The Stoddard lecture.

The Stoddard lecture audience assem- bled for the season at the Hyperion last week, finding all the charm which has attracted them for the many years during which large numbers in his au- dience have heard them. On Thursday evening next MT. StOdd2rd will return to this city to give the second lecture of his course, his subject being Con- stantinopIe. It is customary nowadays to talk of the ''unspeakable Turk, whose days in Europe are undoubtedly draw ing close. This very fact should make the opportunity to learn of the Turkish capital and the daily life and customs of it's people specially interesting and opportune at this time. The thrilling story of the capture of this city in 14o3 forms one of the most eloquent descrip- tions ever given by MT. Stoddard. Beautiful illustrations reveal the won derful situation of the city and repro duce the mosques, the streets and the people in them with wonderful fidelity. So that, in every way, those who hear the lecture are made to feel that for the moment they are with the Turk, and the observer of his daily life and surroundings. This lecture, with Its tas- cinating flavor of the Orient. has prov ed one of the most popular and enjoya- bIe in Mir. Stoddsrd's long list and con- tains an amount of valuable informa- tion that gives t the character Of his tory as well as entertainment.
 The lecture of the following week will give Mir. Stoddard opportunity to pre- sent his new study of Napoleon, which with it's unique illustrations has proved an immense popular success.

BOARD or SE1ECrMEN.

William $, Beecher Yesterday Elected
 President of the New Board Committees
 Appomted-Nr. Farren's Proposals and
 MT. Baldwln's Answer-Tho Matter Dis
 oussed by the Two Gentlemen.
 A meeting of the new board of select ment for the purpose of organization was held yesterday morning In the inner room of the town agents office all the members ana Clerk Perry being pres ent. The board was called to order by Selectmen Stahl, president of the old board. On motion of Town Agent Baldwin, William $. Beecher was elect ed president of the board. President Beecher took the chair and MT. Bald win moved the appointment of the fol- lowing committees: Finance, Beecher Bretzfelder and Stahl; roads and bridges, Ludington, Farren and Beech CT; outside poor Stahl, Cunningham and Baldwin; construction, Luding- ton, Cunningham and Stahl; fences, Beecher, Farren and Ludington.
 Selectman Cunningham objected to this list of committees on the ground that Selectman Bret2felder was only named on one committee. but MT, Lud- ington seconded the motion of Mir Baldwin and it was carried with no opposition. The board then voted to hold regular meetings Tuesday evenings of each week. MT. Fawen desired to be informed as to the nature of the duties of the committees on which he had been appointed and was informed by President Beecher that the best in struction would be found in the dis charge of the duties. The board then adjourned.
 R. B. Farren, the democratic candi- date for town agent in the recent cleo tion yesterday sent letter to Robert F. Baldwin, who was the republican candidate at the same office and who is now filling the office, asking that MT. Baldwin unite with him in petitioning a judge of the superior court to order the ballot boxes to be opened and after a fair accurate counting of the ballots to certify which one was elected to the office. MT. Farren bases his protest against MT. Baldwin being declared elected on the ground of his receiving 7,943 votes to 7,564 received by MT. Bald win. On being asked if he would agree to MT. Farren's proposition said:
 No, shall not My position. that is. the position of the republican majori- ty of the board of seiectmen. in the matter has not changed since the election. and does not admit of any such compromise as suggested by MT. Farren, The proposition of Mir Farren is exactly my proposal to Town Agent Garrity two years ago. He declined to entertain it. and I took the matter to the court, just as Mr. Farren proposes to do. The decision of the court was against me, and was secured at con- siderab bic cost. Now. it seems to me that this decision of the court should prove a precedent for the case il hand and save the cost MT. Farren proposes to make. I shall not entertain MT. Farren's proposal"
 The two gentlemen met in the rooms of the board of selectmen yesterday afternoon and had a friendly discus sion of the matter and MT. Baldwin stated his position and his reasons for it as above stated. MT Farren made no formal claim to the office.

A STUDY IN 1T.

That the New England cotton mills
are. coming south to get closer to our
five-cent cotton presents a sectional les
son-study that is not without its value.
While the farmer is complaining of
low prices, the mills are forced to the
last far thing of saving that is possible In
the manufacture of the staple-and thus
by a motive of economy must come to
benefit the planter by an incidental con-
necton with his local interests.
But it is not simply to save the ex
pense of cotton handling that the mill
men are coming south. There is a full
list of items involving every department
of mill running expenses that foot Cup a
marvellous showing of economy.
An official statement has been made
that coarse cotton goods, which only sell
for four cents yard, can be made one
cent yard cheaper in the south than in
New England.
This makes difference of 25 per cent.
in favor of the south.
New England mill hands are now
working at starvation wages, if their
general discomfort can be construed as
meaning anything.
In the south all is contentment.
Let the south build cotton mills. 1t is
the chosen land of factories as well as
farms. Brunswick Times.

Wealth of beauty comes only with a

good habits. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription assists nature in estab-
fishing these habits. Women have
sallow faces, dull eyes and hollow

when they are made miserable with
disorders, arrangements and weak
nesses peculiar to their sex. Health
is regained, after periods of dizziness,
nervous prostration and excitability,
