Ter OF the Treasury Bowler to-day re-
ceived the last of the briefs in the sugar
bounty case and has begun work on his
decisions, which will probably be rem
dered in the course of week. He will
first, however, have to render o deci-.
sion on ex-senator Msnderson's motion
to remand the whole matter to Score
tary Carlisle on the ground that the
peculiar language OF the act takes the
disbursement out OF the hands of the
regular accounting officers of the Treas
ury' There is 8 strong belief at the
Treasury Department that Mr.. Bowler
will over-rule Mr.. Manderaon's motion
and will decide against the payment of
the bounty.

brilliant piece this bright young author
has written, will be presented at the Opera
house, Wednesday evening, June 5, with
specially selected cast Last season when
"a Temperance Town was played in
Boston the capacity of the theater was
tested at every performance for $50 nights,
There is one scene in this clever comedy
that awakens ones emotions. 1t is night
time in the village church yard. A tenn
perance thanksgiving service is in pro
gress within the church, and snowstorm
without Ruth, the minister's daughter
who has been banisbed from home for
aiding the sick child of saloon keeper
enters. She hears her fathers voice in
the pulpit, and the hymn sung by the
choir, which for years she has led. De-
spending and forlorn she sinks fainting in
the snow Mink Jones, the town drunk

shoulder He secs the unconscious form
in tho snow, and, throwing the treadmill
on the church steps, takes the girl in his
arms and starts for home, where she will
be safe, Just as the minister's voice is
heard calling on heaven to protect any
helpless one in the clutches of drunkard.
1t Is a scene that makes the tears come in
spite of oneself, but the next instant they
are chased away by laughter. The fast

COMMUNICATION.
Sold to The Bell.

The Dirigo Telephone Company, organ
lied by well-knOwn Augusta business
men, has sold its wires, equipment and
good will to the New England Telephone
Company, its competitor, which gives the
Bell people control of the whole field. The
price is not mentioned, but it is q good
figure. Age.
As the above item, from the New Age,
might create wrong impression. l rise
to explain. If We conclude the deal (it
is not completed yeti the stockholders in
the Dirigo Company will not get good
figure" for its stock. Every step in the
deal has been made in the interests of
our subscribers. They have thus far, had
the low rates of S25 and $50 per year
From June 1st till Nov. /, they will pay
but 81. 80 per month, or at rate of SIS per
year, and after that they will have the adj
vantage of the New England Company S
lowest classified rates. Our subscribers
will also have free exchange with Halo
we'll and Gardiner. That is what our sub
scribers will get, if the deal is completed
Now, what do we, the stockholders of the
Dirigo, get? We get the actual cost of con-
struction-no more nor no less. We get our
money out, with no pay for our work or
time spent. l don't for moment, think
the New Age meant to imply that we had
sold out our subscribers to make money,
but such an Interpretation might be put
upon it,
We went into the business with Mr.
O'Brien solely to establish good ex-
change at reasonable prices. We have
| accomplished this result. and as the late
decision of the court made it hazardous
business for us, and liable to be source
of annoyance to us and our subscribers,
we believe we are doing the best thing for
| ourselves and our subscribers by making
this deal. Certainly we have made moth
ing, financially out of the business, but
we have benefited our subscribers.
Mr.. O'Bricn started our exchange. and
he will still have control of it, under the
N. +. Company, if the deal is consum-
mated.
