FILED THEIR LIENS SATURDAY

.Laborins Nj en- Get Anxious and File Liens
on the Grand for Protection.
Saturday liens to the extent of about
1921 we're filed in the county court
against the Grand opera house build
ing, which is owned by Jos. Scheuer.
When Mr.. Scheuer went east early in
January, after nearly finishing the
work on the building, it was understood
that he would return in short time
and pay off his laborers and also settle
with business firms Of whom he bought
material. All these claims have re-
NAMED unsettled and nothing was
done, awaiting the arrival of Mr..
Scheuer. He wrote that he would be
here by Feb. l, but as each day went
by and he did not appear the claimants
commenced to get anxious. Saturday
telegram was received that he was in
Rapid City. AS soon as this became
known the creditors made up their
minds that Scheuer would not be here
in some time and for their own pro-
lection they put liens on the building.
L. O. Gale, manager and lessee of the
opera house, had advanced considerable
money to Scheuer and to secure his in
debtedness placed an attachment on the
scenery. This will in no way affect the
operations OF the house which will be
conducted the same as usual.

The supporters Of Mr.. Low and Gov.
Tracy know perfectly well that the almost
inevitable conseQ uence of both of them

The campaign in Ohio is said to be
marked by great degree of apathy on
the part of the voters, though the efforts
put forth to rouse them are extraordinary
and beyond those generally seen except in
Presidential year. Perhaps it is natural
enough that after the fierce campaign of
last year the people should want rest
from politics. But, we imagine,
some of the apparent apathy is due to the
chickering's that exist in both parties.
There is one wing Of the Republicans
that can hardly be expected to wax very
enthusiastic over Mr.. Hanna's aspirations
for a seat in the Senate, and MoLean's
prominence in the Democratic campaign
has had the effect of cooling the ardor of
considerable fraction of that party.

The Rookland Opinion thinks that i

The RookIand Opinion thinks that If
the United States should establish free
silver tho ''power Of the money lords
would be broken forever" We have
heard this before, but we have failed to
get from any source a clear explanation
of how free silver is going to destroy the
power of money lords. Money is not 60
ing to. be any more equally distributed
after silver Is Tree than now. 1t will
eventually depart from many hands and
accumulate in few hands. A compare
lively few people will control the most of
the silver in time just as they do gold now.
There have been money lords ever since
the world got civilized enough to use
money. There were not SO many of
them in this country fifty years ago as
there are today, not because silver was on
an equality in our coinage laws with
gold, but because there had not been SO
many opportunities for accommodating
money. Some of our biggest money kings
of today have made their money out of
silver mines, and they are among the
most earnest advocates Of. free coinage not
because. we may be sure, they think 1t
will destroy their power, but because they
believe it will increase it by increasing
their wealth. The poor have always been
hit harder by debasing of the currency
than the rich.

The New York Times is Informed by a
responsible person who has the best
means of knowing that the Presidents at
titude toward the New York campaign is
one of strict impartiality rs between Low
and Tracy and that he will do or say moth
ing to help one as against the other. The
Hon. Benjamin Butterworth, however,
who is now on the stump told his hearers
the other night that before he left Wash
ington the. President said to him: "Ben,
you know how earnestly 1 feel in regard
to the triumph of the Republican party
in Greater New York AS Mr.. Butter
worth repeated this at Republican meet
ing in a speech in favor of Mr.. Tracy 1t is
evident that he regarded it as strong
expression of preference on the Presi-

The presence of Secretary Bliss in the
campaign is a straw in the same direc-

TO CONSOLIDATE MACHINE SHOPS.
A Big Deal About to Be Consummated in
Biddeford.
ESPECIAL TO TEE pREss.l

Biddeford, October pa project for a
consolidation of the Saco Water Power
machine shop of this city and the Pettee
machine works of Newton Upper Falls,
Mass, is in contemplation. A call was
issued today for special meeting of the
Water Power stockholders, to be held
next Thursday, to take action on the
matter.
The Water Power shop was esta blished
in 1871, and has been enlarged from time
to time till now it is one of the largest
plants in the country for the manufacture
of cotton mill machinery. The Pettee
machine works are engaged in much the
same line of work. but make speciality
of revolving fat top cards. which are re-
placing the old patterns in many of the
cotton mills.
The plan in contemplation by the
directors is TO organize new company,
under Massachusetts laws. capitalizing it
at $500, O00 The two shops will be run
separately. but no longer as rivals, each
handling separate department. of work.
1t is probable that, if the project is
adopted, Hon. James Il. Mcmillan of
Portland, agent of the Water Power, will
be chosen president Of the new company.
Accompanying the call to the stock
holders were sent out copies of a circular
letter from the Water Power directors,
going further into details Of the plan and
recommending it's adoption.
Agent MCMILLAN interviewed today in
reference to the matter, said the plan has
his heartiest Endorsement. He intends to
retire in year or two from the manage
ment of the works, and it is his desire
that the future of the business he has
been connected with successfully thirty
years be firmly established on a well
paying basis, before he let's go the reins
of management. Mr. MCMILLAN took
charge of the Water Power shop as agent
in 1867, when the present concern was in
corporated. He has since been connected
with it constantly, and it's success is his
own.
The consolidation of these twoS plants
means more business for Biddeford. Tie
Water Power employees are the best paid
mechanics in this city and the business
fluctuations in Biddeford in the past have
been influenced TO considerable extent
by the amount of work going on in the
Water Power shops.

They have known from the beginning
that the only hope of beating Tammany
lay in a union of all the elements opposed
to Ta1nmany. Nevertheless the support
ers Of both of them have from the first
haggled and quibbled about the con-
ditions of such union, and to a locker
on it has seemed that each of them was
bent more on putting obstacles in the
way of such union than taking them
out. If Tammany succeeds the RESPONSE
bility will be about equally divided, we
should say, between the boomers of Tracy
and the boomers of Low.

The trial of Luetgert for the murder
ofshis wife which has just ended in dis
agreement began last August. 1t cost the
stateover $780, The burden was upon
the state to prove not only that Luetgert
committed the alleged murder, but also that
a murder was committedg. The evidence on
both points was almost entirely circum-
stantial, and it is not at all strange that
there should have been difference of
opinion among the jury as to the
suficiency of the proof. Bribery has
been insinuated, but it is not necessary
to fall back on that to explain the differ
ence of opinion. There was room for
difference of opinion in the evidence.

General Wilson's recommendation that
work on coast Qualifications be no longer
done by contract is good one, and ought
t. be adopted by Congress. The fact
was recently divulged that right here
in Portland, the building of our coast
fertilization was proceeding under the
charge of foreigner, and that most of the
work was being done by aliens. 1t seems
rather absurd to forbid Americans
visiting Notifications which are being
built by Englishmen and Italians.

The New York papers are still making
canvasses of the voters and the World
and Journal claim to have ascertained
the preferences of nearly a third of them.
The World is supporting Low, though
not very vigorously, while the Journal
has been showing a preference for
George. These preferences evidently
have not been without effect upon their
canvasses, for the World places Low
ahead of George and Tracy, while the
Journal places him below George. Both
agree that Van Wyck is in the the lead,
and they both show that Lows support
and Tracy's united would badly beat
him. The New York Press, which is
supporting Tracy, has also made can
vass, though q much smaller one than
either of the others. Out of 2,013 votes
canyassed by the Press, 1, 124 declared a
preference for Tracy; / ,005 were for Van
Wyck; 361 for George; and 338 for Low.

LIFE FULL OF FRAGMENTS.

Life here is short even ut the longest. We
cannot finish in threescore and ten years
the great things we dream Of in our best
moods. Then. only comparatively n few
lives reach this full limit of age. Ii is but a
little that we can do In our short, broken
years. We begin things, and we are inter-
rupted in the midst of them. Before they
are half finished we are called away to some
thing else. or laid aside by illness, or our
life ends. and the work remains incomplete.
1t is pathetic, when Il busy a has been
called away suddenly, to 90 into his Office,
his study, or his place OF work. and see the
unfinished things he has left the letter half
written. tho book half read. the column OF
figures half added up. the picture begun but
not completed. Life is full of fragments,
the mere beginning of things. II there were
nothing beyond death, little would com Of
this poor fragmentary living and doing.
But when we know that life will go on with
out serious break through endless years. it
puts u new meaning into every noble and
worthy beginning. Every right and good
thing, however small il may seem, shall live
forever. II. Miller, ID. D., in Things
to Live For

Some facts of an instructive nature
relating to the stone industry are fur
nished by Mr.. Day in the annual re-
port Of the United States geological
survey. 1t appears from this that GER
tam Of the Southern states are grad
ually coming into prominence as ex-
teusIve producers Of stone, and also
that the sorts Of stone quarried have
been modified of late years. An in.
stance IN point is to be found in Ala
bama, which in 1895 furnished more
than $3.50, 900 worth Of stone, mostly
limestone, although some sandstone is
worked there. A similar illustration
is presented by Connecticut, which
once divided the sandstone yield
with New jersey, but produced last
year very little more sandstone than
Massachusetts,, while New jersey
showed only one-third as much as
Connecticut and little more than Kan.
las or Michigan; and Pennsylvania,
unknown q few years ago as supplying
sandstone, recorded n product in 1895
about equal to Connection. and New
Jersey combined and more than any
other state except Ohio. In granite
production Massachusetts keeps the
first place, with Maine not far of,
while Vermont is rapidly over,aking
Maine, and Rhode Island keeps up the
output from it's splendid quarries in
and about Westerly to nearly Sl,000,-
900 worth n year. New Hampshire
comes fifth on the list, with about
half as much. Ia marble Vermont, as
usual, leads all the other states, its
output being about double that Of
Georgia, which is second in amount;

THE HOLY SPIRIT A MAGNIFIER.

once climbed the long flight Of steps to
n lighthouse. expected to IN u monster
lamp In the tower, but was shown small
ones. not larger than our parlor lamp. If
one were set in the window, it would not
east light twenty feet on the water. The
lighthouse keeper explained whence came
its power. He set u lamp within a POWER
full magnifying glass globe, and reflected its
light twenty miles out upon Lake Michigan,
and thus protected many precious human
lives from being dashed upon the treacher-
Gus rocks. That visit taught me a lesson.
How often are Christians content to remain
like those small lamps, casting such feeble
rays. If we are indeed 1.-The light of the
world" we must put our spiritual lamps
under the magnifyirg power of tho Holy
Spirit. Then we shall be beacon lights to
guide those who are upon the ocean of life
and amid temptations hard to be conquered.
Those lighthouse lamps must be- kept clean
and bright. So must our spiritual lamps bc
polished by holy prayer and holy living.
