the newly discovered manuscript, known
as the log Of the Mayhower It Is an
ancient document, and gives the history
OF 1he plymouth colony from it's founda-
ton. in England, until 1850. 1t was written
py William Bradford, was known to be
IN existence up to 1873, and then disap-
peared, being again discovered in the pos
session OF Bishop Wilberforce of London
in 1916.
The senior senator from Massachusetts
mas Kept watchful eye on the precious
document since it came to light. and when
ne went to Europe last summer made a
special visit to Bishop Wilberforce to look
at the book.
4 am going to say an audacious thing
70 you,' remarked Senator Hoar to the
bishop, as they stood beside the relic in
the palace library. This manuscript
does not belong here. 1t belongs in the

but easier methods were found, and the
book will arrive sometime this month
1t Will come TO the state department

At the last regular monthly meeting of
the Board of Directors of tho Falmouth
Loan and Building Association, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted upon
the decease of the late George B. Bagley:
Whereas. the directors of the Falmouth
Loan and Building Association are again
called upon to record the death and
mourn the loss Of respected and hon.
ored associate.
By the hand of Divine Providence he
has been removed from our midst while
yet in the full strength of mature man
hood and while actively engaged in the
pursuits Of laborious and absorbing
business life.:: We extend to the bereayed
widow our sincere sympathy in the great
loss that she has sustained and hope that
she may be comforted by the assurance
that she is only separated from her be-
loved husband by the thin veil that hides
the living from the dead.
Be it resolved, That in the decease of
George B. Bagley the Falmouth Loan and
Building Association has been deprived
OF worthy member, a gentleman of in
tergrity and ability, business man of
rare and cultivated attachments, admired
by all alike for his strict business princi-
pies and manly and upright character in
public and private life.

Cherry Farm, the summer residence

Hon. John B. Henderson o. Missouri,
who bought the estate four years ago of
Z. Y. Sypher. one of the chiefs in the
auditors office of the treasury DEPART
ment. The house is situated away from
the main road, and is approached by a
lane, lined on each side with pine brush.
1t stands In the midst Of an immense
fruit orchard; apple, pear, peach, and
cherry trees abound everywhere, and the
eye is unable to discover the bounds of
the fine orchard which stretches far to the
north. The house Is a combination of the
farm house of colonial times and the
modern city dwelling. 1t is two stories
high, with numerous porches and veran
yeranda which is reached from the draw
Ing and dining rooms. The President
chose this spot because of its isolation and
for its marvellous beauty.
Elaborate preparations are being made
at Milan for the purpose of celebrating
the centenary of Donizetti at Bermago

the conservatory Of music at Milan.
Russia is probably the only civilized
| country in the world where tramps are
officially recognized and protected by the
government. This is especially the case
with the tramps of the important province
of Pensa, where they are organized into
guilds, and start out every spring to beg
| systematically through the other parts
| OF the empire. They do SO well that on
| their return in the autumn they are able
| to pass the winter in ease and idleness
with their wives and children, and are
favored by the authorities because they
happen to be about the only inhabitants
of the province who are able to pay their
taxes in full. 1t is calculated that during
their tours they are able to lay aside
about $50 month.
Arrangements have been made for the
| transfer of Chantilly to the French nation

The Restoration of Wages on the Maine

The Restoration of Wages on the Maine
Central.
Referring to the recent restoration of
wages on the Maine Central, an engineer
said to a Kennebec-. Journal reporter:
"The general manager has done the
right thing by us and this without any
solicitation on our part. We have been
content to wait until such time as the
management found it convenient from
the receipts of the business OF the road
to warrant the return of the old pay
schedule. You may, perhaps remember
that at the time of the cut down, there
was considerable feeling over the matter,
but the engineers are fairly bright men
themselves and they soon saw that the
road was doing all it could for us, and
that the management would undoubtedly
return to the old pay schedule as soon
as the business Of the system..would allow
it to be done. We believe this has been
done"
An 4 employee in the car shops said to
the Journal that no one in his depart
ment knew of the rise until they came to
draw their pay and they were then sur
prised to find that the pay had been
restored. Truly the manager of the
Maine Central has happy way of doing
business with it's men.

Little exception can be taken to the
against any action on our part that will
change the status quo of Japanese resi-
dents in Hawaii. If the case were re-
versed and Japan was about to acquire
an island on which were many American
residents with property interests we
should be likely to make similar pro-
test. Indeed we did that very thing in
the case Of Samoa, as the japanese min
lister points out If Hawaii becomes a
part of our dominion our existing treat
les with foreign nations will become ap-
plicable to it and we shall have the right
under an existing treaty with Japan to
exclude natives of that country from
Hawaii. There are $1,000 japanese ir
that island and Japan would be remiss IL
it's duty to it's own citizens if 1t did not
seek to save them from this danger
Japan is quite content apparently that
our influence should continue to be para
mount in Hawaii, indeed she interposes
no direct opposition to the annexation Of
the islands, but she naturally enough
wants to know in what condition bel
subjects are to be left If annexation Il
accomplished. There is no manifestation
of an unfriendly spirit in the japanese
minister's letter, and SO far as appears
on the surface, at least, it is prompted
only by solicitude which is proper, fol
the rights and privileges of his own PEG
pie which it is his duty to guard.
