TEHs, CELEBRATION
4 Large Attcn dance and Good
Crowds.

The celebration last Saturday
attracted a large crowd to the
city, and the attendance would
have been even larger had not a
down pour of rain during the
night made travel on the roads
exceedingly heavy. The wealth
er was all that could be desired
for an ideal fourth of July, and
the general exercises passed off
without accident or trouble of
any kind. A large bowery had
been erected by the committee
of arrangements on the vacant
lots south of the hotel, where the
literary part of the days pro
gram was held, and which in the
evening served as a place for the
bowery dance. The exercises
were conducted according to
program, DR. w. j. Evans de-
livering a very good Fourth of
July address. The afternoon
contests which took place on
Main street with the exception of
the bicycle race, resulted as
follows:

as we'll as other laboring men will
soon feel the effects of restored pro-
lection and restored prosperity. The
Wilson law reduced the rates Of duty
on coal from rs cents per ton to 40
cents per ton. This is just about the
amount of reduction in miners wages
OF which complaints is now being
made and emphasized by the strike
announced for July 4. President
Ratchford of the United Mine Work
ers' Association, in a communication
to the New York Herald, indicates
that the wages of miners have been
reduced since 1893 an average OF 50
cents per ton. which is just about the
amount Of the reduction in duties
by the Wilson law. curiously this
reduction in wages is thus coincident
as to time and amount with the re-
duction in tariff. That the reduction
in wages was direct result Of the
decreased tariff is thus accurately
shown in the above striking series Of

POLITICAL
MISCELLANY.

The gold Democrats are already
indicating a determination to stand in
line with the Republicans against
free silver even though the new tariff
bill has not been framed on Democrat
ic lines.
'The evidence | have obtained
from all sections of the country, from
the press, from callers, and from per.
sonal correspondence, all points in
one direction, an actual improvement
in trade and manufactures. "--Secre-
tary Gage.
American butter. under the recent
efforts of Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson to make a new market for il
abroad, is finding ready sale in Lon
don. A single firm in that city has
just placed an order with the Iowa
State Agricultural College for all its
butter, which amounts to about 500
pounds daily.
The fact that Republicans do not
control the Senate is not reducing
activity of the administration in shap-
ing up its proposition for currency
reform measure. A message probably
be sent to Congress asking that the
President be given authority to APP
point commission to take up the
matter at once and recommend plan
of action.
While the presence of several
months supply of bonded goods in the
warehouses of the country viii, largely
reduce the earnings of the new tariff
law for the first few months Of its ex-
istence, Chairman Dingley and other
tariff experts in Washington express
the belief that the new law will supply
ample revenue after this stock Of ,an-
ticipatory imports" is disposed of.
The wheat crop of the United States
is in most sections good and the pros
poets are for much better prices than
those realized last year. This will
make the calamity campaign which
the Democrats are proposing to wage
somewhat difficult, especially in Ohio,
Indiana and Kentucky. whose farm
ers will realize probably S.. 900, 600
more.for their wheat than they did
last year.
The fact that the anti trust propo-
sition was not incorporated in the
tariff bill does not mean that the Re-
publicans are going to omit its active
support. On the contrary. it will be
pushed as an independent measure at
once, the only reason for the failure
to place it in the tariff bill being be-
cause of the delay in that measure
which the discussion Of this PROPOSE
ton would be sure to cause.

WASHINGTON, July IA. Although
the secrecy maintained by the Sena-
tors and Representatives OH the con-
ference committee which is atlwork on
the tariff bill passed by the Senate
last week is aggravating to the news
gathers. it is considered absolutely
necessary to avoid delay in the final
disposition OF the bill. If each agree
ment reached by the conference should
be announced. there would be no
peace for the members of the COM
mittee, owing to the objections OF
those who are interested. 1t has also
been determined, to avoid delay, that
no partial reports shall be made to
the House and Senate, everything
being held back until a fiual agree
ment has been reached. Experience
has proven that partial reports are
productive of much delay, especially
when the measure under considera-
ton is of such a complicated nature
as a tariff bill necessarily is. Al
though there is nothing official on
the subject. have excellent reasons
for saying that the Republican con-
ferees-the Democratic conferees will
take no part in the conferences until
the Republicans have reached an
acknowledged to complete their
work this week.
President Mckinley has indicated
quite plainly to number of promi-
nent Republicans that he has about
decided to modify Mr.. Cleveland S
orders for the extension OF the civil
service rules and the Presidents order
may be expected at any time. II is
not yet certain how far this modifica-
ton will go, but it is the impression
of those who have talked with Maj.
Mckinley on the subject that deputy
collectors Of internal revenue, in
charge Of the distribution OF stamps.
and deputy collectors of customs, who
are in charge Of sub-stations. will be
among those placed outside of the
civil service rules.
AS was stated in this correspondence
several months ago, Mr.. Cleveland's
consolidation of Pension Agencies,
announced to go into effect September
1, 1897. will not go into effect. The
Cleveland order will in due time be
officially revoked by President Nc
Kinley. a thorough investigation
having shown that the government
would save nothing by the proposed
consolidation, and that it would great

The Pharmacy Law.

The new pharmacy law restricts the
sale of paris green, hellebore and other
poisonous insecticides to registered apo
thecaries in the cities and larger towns,
while country storekeepers in the smaller
towns and villages, where there are nc
drug stores, are granted ''permit'' after
showing fitness, ''to sell the usual medi-
cines and poisons used as home remedies
and for the necessary agricultural pur-
poses" By the same law all certificates
and permits will be ''displayed in con-
spicuous place in the store or shop Of the
persons to whom the same were issued -
Another feature of the new law relates to
physicians. The old law allowed gradu-
ates from regular medical school to do the
business of an apothecary without exam
nation or registration by the commission
of pharmacy. Now all physicians who
graduate after March 81, 1897, if they
desire to open and conduct an apothe-
cary store will be required to pass sat

Married Sixty-one Years.

One of the oldest and smartest married
couples in the State is Mr. aud Mrs Francis
A. Russ of Belfast, who make their home on
farm at the Head of the Tide, says cor
respondent of the Bangor Daily News. They
both in their S7th year and are rounding
out their Glst year Of a happy married life.
They are in excellent health and carry on
their farm without help of anyone. Their
farm is good sized one and they keep a
horse, COW and poultry. F. A. Russ is a
native of this city, being born here Feb 3,
1911. When but 10 years of age he left his
home and took to the sea, which he followed
for 80 years. During his seafaring life he
visited aim >st every country in the world.
Among them was the New South Shetland
Islands, where he went in quest of fur sea l.

lngton at the capture of the Falkl land
Islands i'll 1851, and was afterward, in 1892
cast away on these very same islands for
three months, with but very little to eat.
Seven years of his seafaring life was spent in
sailing in a vessel from London to the East
Indies. During the rebellion he was acting
master in the navy, serving through nearly
the whole four years. Forty-seven wears ago
he came to the Head of the Tide with Just
twenty-five cents in his pocket, but by hard
work lie accumulated little wealth. and
bought the farm on which he and his wife
now live. His wife was born in China vii

Mary Fletcher. She is remarkably bright
for her advanced years and distinctly re-
members all the happenings of her girlhood.
and takes care of her household duties as
briskly as one of half her years. This old
and well preserved couple were married in
China village, Dec. 10, 1886. They have had
four children born to them, two of whom,
Robert F., and Charles F., still live in this
city. Two daughters, Mrs. G. A. Russell of
