cort, private cars. receptions. etc, but
he has accepted an invitation extended

NJ Holt, Of Haw River. was heard hero
with genuine sorrow. Mr.. Holt was quite

WHY NOT HERDICS? ,
AS long as We are deprived OF the con-
venionce Of the street cars it IS suggested
that herdic line be established here. 1t

The fact that Governor OForran has
recently among others appointed a few
Republicans to the Office of notary pub
lc has greatly harassed some Of the
most hOt-hcaded sivcrtes in this city.
it is "a well-kuown fact that the predc-
ccssors of the present Governor have done
the same thing and there are now i'm
every section of this State number of
respectable Republicans who mold the
office of notary public TO which they Were
originally appointed by Governor Nc
Kinney or Governor Lee. This certainly
goes TO show that such appointments
are not made for political reasons but on
the strength of the business capacity
ana good standing of the respective par-
ties.
The case Of Mr. Barksdale. in Danville.
has been especially mentioned in this com
ncction. but IL is understood that that
gentleman was recommended TO the Gov
crnor by such well-known Democrats as
Col O. W. Dudley who IS ON the Cover

TOM CLARK'S ISLAND,
stoien From England by n Nam Who
wanted to Remain an American.

Stolen From England by n Man Who
wanted to Remain an American.
From the New York Sum-
Above the village of Caribou, Me-. on th,
st. John river, is an island which Tom
,, Clark, its original proprietor, stole from
England away back in the days of the
Aroostook war. This blooaless conflict be-
gan in the latter part of the third decade
OF the present century, and did not close
until the Observation-Disclosures treaty had
been signed.
Wmle tine treaty was under considera.
ton Thomas Clark learned that the St
Johu river was to be the boundary line
between Maine and New Brunswick, and
that the natural channel of the river was
10 mark, the exact division His island.
which comprised about 800 acres of wood
and grass lands, in the river, but on
the wrong side Fer him, the channel run
inng on the south side and annexing Clark
and his farm to; New Brups wick.
For nearly a month Clark and his Two
bro'hers Were busy carting stones and
gravel and dumping them IN the river
AS the dam grew higher and Inc natural
waterway became. narrower the liver
HoWed back and, made a detour around
TO the Hprthu side of the island. In. two
weeks Clark had shifted the channel, but,
wishing ito make. his work sure. he con
tinued to- pile Up stones until there could
be no d9gbt IS 10 where the channel ran.
When the boundary commissioners came
along and divided. up the disputed ter
ritory. according to treaty, they annexed
Clark and his island farm to the United
States. and, although the spring freshets
have since gouged a channel through the
dam. the island belC ngs to Maine. and its
,proprie;orS pay taxes in the United States.
During the civil war a resident of the
island who Gid not approve of lighting and
was opposed to the draft made an effort
to become British subject by revealing
the secret which Clark and his friends had
kept SO Well. Letters were sent to st.
John telling all about the theft and offer
ing conclusive proof. When these failed
the colonial secretary in the English cab
met was appealed 20, also in vain. Mean
time the man who wanted to renounce his
allegiance to the United States was drafted
and had to Fay $500 Communication money
to avoid going to the front Since then he
and his heirs have spent a deal of time
and postage in petitioning the legislature
to pay back the $780, with interest, claim
ing it was obtained by fraud and intimida-
ton. A resolution is introduced every
sion. 1t is read by the speaker goes to
committee, and dies there. The chances are
that this particular claim will never be
paid.

UNITED STATES LIABLE.
Mr.. Befque's Argument Before the
Boring Sea Commission.

Mr.. Befque's Argument Before the
BerinE Sea Commission.
Mr.. Beique opened his argument at Hal
sea commission, speaking to the question
of the scope of the convention. He re-
ferred to the seizure of British vessels, the
imprisor ment of their crews and the hard
ship to these men by the United States
The case when brought before the Paris
tribunal he said, was decided against the
United States on several points.
Mr.. Beique took issue with the statement
of the United States brief that the scope
of the convention was limited by its own
statements. The speaker contended that
the United States was liable by the de-
cision of the Paris tribunal for all damages
caused by the claim of that country to
control over fur seals. Under article of
the treaty he thought that England was
justified in submitting any disputed case
to the convention.
The several arrests, warnings and seiz-
ures were. he claimed, for. violation of
municipal laws, only. Mr.. Beique referred
to the action of the Secretary of State OF
the United States in ordering the seizure
of all vessels for violation of such laws
after due notice had been given. He SUBJ
place. following this order the United
States still denied liability in the matter.
Nevertheless, he crntenGed that no claim
made by the United States against
submission of any claim by Great Britain.
The United States brief claimed that sec
tion s of the treaty of 1892 referred to the
schedule of damage of Great Britain.

OHIO MINERS STARVING
Situation in Eastern Section of State Growing
Very Serious.
Camp Isolation Also Ran Out Of Pre-
visions Yesterday-WOmen March,
ers Clash With Deputies.

WHEELING. w. Va, August 31.-The
organizers working in the mine strike in
West Virginia are not losing any time
waiting for the st. Louis congress of labor
leaders to act. Things are being made
as comfortable and attractive as possible
at the camps, but the cold nights of the
past few days have made 1t decidedly I'M
comfortable for men not used to outdoor
life
strikers today. Many of the native miners
are leaving the mines in disguise since the
rev men have been imported.
The Paramount output Is rapidly showing
the cut, but there is enough coal being
produced to supply the normal demand.
The starving in eastern Ohio is growing
more acute daily. and some vigorous meas
ures of relief must soon be taken.

P1TTSBURG, Pa, August S1.-U1der the
leadership of Emma Haas, the Joan of
Arc of Camp Isolation twenty-five women,
back of Center, Pa. at O'Clock this morn
ing and succeeded in inducing four miners
to stay out of the pit.
The women were stopped several times by
the deputies. but they forced their way
past them and went ahead on their mis-
sion. The campers went to bed hungry last
night and started out breakfastless this
morning. because OF a mistake in shipping
the provisions to Sandy Creek camp instead
of Plum Creek. A liberal supply of pro-
visions was arranged for today.
