and India streets. 1t is over one hundred
years old, but the timbers are as sound
as ever. 1t must be taken down as the
trees prevent a removal whole. 1t is not
known what the Grand Trunk will do
with the site, but it will probably be
built over.
The steamer Jeanette was to hsve gone
on the route between here and Peaks to-
day, but yesterday Captain Howard sold

AMONG THE ISLANDS.
Steamers Piled High With Furniture
Getting Ready for Summer.

Yesterday forenoon was like d day in
midsummer among the islands. There
was little wind, the sea being as smooth
as glass. The trees on the shores are
ruttino ont their leaves and the grass is
a bright green. All these things are in
dications of the cunning of the season
when the islands of Casco bay become one
of the most popular Of Atlantic coast
summer resorts. Perhaps still better
promise of the summer days to come was
furnished by the steamer Emita on her
forenoon trips yesterday. Early in the
forenoon the boat at the bow looked like
lumber yard, a great pile of plank 60
ing down to Little Diamond island.
There also gang of painters landed and
before the lines were cast off they were
hard at work renewing the brilliant red
paint on the piles and ratings about the
ccmpany's wharf.
General Manager Cooling is apr arently
trying to paint the islands red for the
other landings of the company also begin
to look gay with their bright line
trimmings. All the paint is not red,
though, for yesterday men were at work
painting anew the white walled building
on the wharf at Peaks island. Later in
the day, the Emita changed her appear
ance and sailed off looking like furni-
ture store The space in front of the pilot
house was piled high with tables, chairs,
bedsteads and other articles of household
use. AS q by-stander Of one of the lan&-
ings remarked, "Here comes the Emita
and she looks like hotel" Some of the
furniture was left piled high on the
wharf at Irefethen's landing, and lot
more of it was unloaded at Ponce's land
ing. 1t is interesting to watch the pas
sengers on the boats these days and pick
out the cottagers going down to open
their SUNNI houses.
On the islands, too, they are in evidence
and open doors and windows give proof
of their presence. The paint brush is
being vigorously piled on the houses and
grounds are being put in order. con-
siderable number of new cottages are IN
process Of erection at Peaks island, and
the sound of saw and hammer comes
from all directions. Travel on the boats,
it is said, has been unusually brisk
during the winter and summer, but the
summer rush has not yet begun.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Formal
work on the new tariff bill will be
begun by the ways and means COM
mittee Monday, when the first of the
series Of hearings which are to extend
over twelve days will be held Judged
by the amount of correspondence which
has come to the committee on the SUBJ
Ject, there is more widespread in
terest in the forthcoming bill than has
attached to any other revision of the
tariff, and the number of business men
who desire to appear before the COM
mdttee is unusually great. The pro-
gramme arranged by Chairman Ding
ley and his colleagues contemplates
sessions from 10 to 4 o'clock. To hear
all the interests which will be on the
ground, with one or two schedules of
the bill to be covered each day, the
representatives of every interest will
be obliged to condense their state
ments. No allotment of time has
been made in advance to any appli-
cants, out on each day the committee
will arrange q programme based on
the number who appear to speak. In
the various delegations, the committee
will avoid repetitions by asking every
delegation to select a spokesman to
present it's views
Several labor organizations have sig
nffied their intention to make argu-
ments before the committee in the in
terest of protection for the industries
in which they are workers. In addition.
there will be representatives of various
commercial bodies, as well as the usual
delegations Of manufacturers, produc-
ers of raw materials and importers.
The statements made orally to the
committee and the more valuable of the
written statements submitted will be
printed. After the hearing to outsid-
ers, 1t is probable that government
officials. particularly the appraisers,
will be called upon for assistance, and
expert testimony from other quarters
may be asked.
