Mr.. Edward Atkinson, the well-known
political economist, writing on the silver
question several years ago, said:
The annual value of the silver product
is about $40, 900, 00O-in gold. The pro-
duction of the hen yards of the United
States, according to the census statistics,
was, in 1879, 456, 910, 916 dozen eggs and,
if hens have increased in the ratio of popu-
Iation, it is now 500, 600, 600 dozen, which,
at only 10c a dozen, would exceed the
value of the product of the silver mines.
1t would be vastly more reasonable fol

chase of S2,000,0 900 worth of eggs pei

Emile E. Hatch died at the home of her
parents Monday morning, June Goth, from
organic heart disease, aged 50 years, month
and % days. The deceased was the second
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Theophilus Sar-
gent Hatch of Montville, and the first one
of the family circle to be called to the higher
life. She attended the Maine Wesleyan
Hill for awhile and was the 1irst one among
the scholars of the district where she at
tended school to become a teacher. She
taught school for several years and had ex-
cellent success, teaching in Montville, Bel
mont, Knox and Palermo. Wherever she
went she won many friends who loved her
through the remaining years of her life. The
entertainments of her insidious disease COM
PEELED her with many misgivings to relin-
quish her noble occupation. Although weak
and frail and unable to perform the heavier
burdens, yet she was never idle In the
desolate home one cannot turn the eye with
out resting its gaze on some work of her
hands. Rugs, tides and other fancy work
abound ever present reminders of the one
that is gone. In early life she embraced the
Christian faith and united with the Free
Baptist church at Centre Montville which
at that time was very prosperous. She
maintained her early piety until death, and
throughout her whole life accomplishing
she did all she could to cheer and relieve
the suffering of those around her. Beside
her father and mother there are a brother
and sister to mourn their loss, Mrs. Cora A.
Goodwin, Palermo, and E. Judson Hatch,
Principal Of the High School, Sabatisville,
Me. While she will be greatly missed by a
large circle of relatives and friends and
especially at the yearly family reunions, in
which she always manifested great interest
the loss will be most severe to her aged
parents with whom she has spent her whole
life. The burial service was by Rev. 7. r.
Pentecost of Montville assisted by the choir
from South Montville. To her funeral
which was very largely attended, came the
old and young, the rich and the poor, to
shed a sympathetic tear with the Borrowing
family. The floral tributes were both many
and beautiful. The white rose, so emble-
matte Of her life, was most prominent. A
cousin brought a cluster of SO neatly tied

some agreement between the company and Dan Stuart and also showing that the main mill is to take place some where along the Southern Pacific line.
 Where that point will be is the pre- vailing question.
 Those who argue best contend one of two propositions: That the Maher- Fitzsimmons mill will either not oc- cur or else will be pulled off just across the Mexican border. It can hardly be believed that it will be fought in New Mexico or Arizona, for in either the Catron law holds and principals and packers would be subject, even if the fight were successfully fought, to al titudinous fines and to something like three years apiece in the penitentiary. This would be the inevitable result of such action and it is a prospect that even pugilists do not care to face.
 Texas, with her guard of brave rang CTS is little less to be feared. In Mexico then, will be the fight, if fight there be, today or at any other time General Ahumada, governor of Chihuahua, sfwears the mill will not be allowed in his bailiwick and his words are given emphasis by the patrol of the border by several hundred "rurales," mounted frontier guards who would not hesi- tate to tackle even a regiment of Bow cry toughs.
 There still remains another resort. It's fully 250 miles from El Paso to Nogales and the journey would take fully eight hours under favorable cir cumstances. Yet at this border town it might be that temporary abiding place might be found for the men of muscle and for their satellites and spectators. This run could be made almost entirely at night and possibly the mill could come off before any Mexican troops could be sent from Hermosillo.
 All of this, however, is merely con- lecture. Dan Stuart seems to be as- sured that he has a Head pipe cinch'' on a peaceful battle ground and it is probable he has. Otherwise it is the finest known modern example of faith to see about 5000 sports" do as they have done, place in his hands about $100,000 in cold coin for seats" at the ring side. It will be observed that the prospective spectators are not of a class easily bunkoed or worked and MT. Stuart is not apt to attempt a grand ''f1im-fam" at their expense.
 In all, it therefore may be summed up that the fight will occur and that ii will come off on the cactus-strewn soil of Manana Land.

CHINESE NEW YEAR.
Bombs and Firecrackers to Brighten

 The Chinese are religious "by jerks and especially believe in starting in well with the new year. New texts from the holy writ of Confucius are pasted on the wall and powder is burned in quantity to scare away the devils that otherwise might come within the thresholds, there to remain for the year. Punk, too, is burned as incense to the better spirits, debts are discharged, prayers flor prosperity said and the house is put in order te grace the joyous season.

lican of Ohio, and Lefevre, Republican of New York, were absent. Both the latter are anti-silver men.
 It is therefore apparent the test of strength indicates that the committee is opposed, at least at present, to re- porting the statehood bills. It is claimed that both of the absentees are in favor of deferring action, but MT. Murphy, the Arizona delegate, denies this.
 As the bill itself has not been de feated in the committee, vote can be taken whenever the advocates of the bill are able to muster majority.

WASHINGTON Feb. 13.-In a vote had by the committee on territories on the Arizona and New Mexico enabling acts there was not a full attendance and while it is understood that the majority vote was adverse to the meas lures, several members who were absent
 are understood to favor the proposition. Another vote will be held at the next
 meeting of the committee The ses-
 sion was a warm one. For several weeks it has been apparent that there was disposition among some of the opponents of free silver on the commit tee to postpone favorable reports on those bills at least for the present to prevent an increase of the free silver strength in the senate. The fight cul- minated when the White bill to admit Arizona was under discussion. The committee voted 6 to to adjourn. Although, as stated, the opponents of free silver were responsible for the postponement of action, all opponents of free coinage on the committee were not in favor of deferring action. MT.
