W WHAT WOULD iAPpEN7
Changes i'm Nature afs Water Neve
I Y7roxA Would ne Many.

Changes I'm Nature ff Water Never
FroEe would Be ATany.
The whole economy of nature would
undergo startling change Il water
never froze. The worlds climates
would be revoButionized. says Pearson's
Weekly. The ice-bound polar seaa
would cease to exercise their. chilling
influences, and consequently the cur
rents of the ocean might either cease
or be turned aside In different direc-
Eions.
Thus the gulf stream would seek
other shores than those af Britain, and
the climate there might abe subject to
the extremes of heat and cold noticeable
In other countries 81 the.same latitude.
The ice-bound rivers off the north. no
tably those OF Russia and Siberia,
would be open for navigation, and Rus.
gia's activity as sea power and q
commercial milton might alter the
whole world OF commerce.
Canada would become another coun-
try altogether. An immense tract OF
land would be available for cuitiyating
hardy plants, and Greenland might be
what its name indicates. The absence
of icebergs off the coast OF Newfound-
land and Iceland would result In a
much warmer climate in those islands
where now the crops often fall.
Ice. too, plays an important part In
the economy OF nature Thus, If water
never froze, snow. hail and hoar frost
would cease. The. loosening OF soils
and the disintegrating Of rocks by the
frost, and many other now vital ef-
fects would be lost. In short. the alb.
sence of ice would be on the one hand
an incalculable disaster, on the other
hand great boon.

HON. ALBERT GOODWIN.
IspEcrAr. TO THE PREss.x

South Berwick, November 49, The
very sudden death from neuralgia of the
heart Of Mr.. Albert Goodwin at his home
near Yeaton Mills on Friday, was great
shock to this community, which was his
native place and his home nearly all his
life and where he has held the highest re-
spect and esteem OF his townsmen. Mr..
Goodwin was the son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
AIpheus Goodwin and WAS born in July,
1886. He has always been prominent
citizen OF the town and served as mem
Der Of the board of selectmen two terms
from 1890 to 1891 and from 1892 to 1898.
He was member of the Repub lican
town COMMITTEES several times. He repre-
sented the towns of South Berwick and
Old Orchard In the legislature in 1897
and at the last election in September
was elected county treasurer for York
county. For i've years, from 1865 to 1870
Mr.. Goodwin was trusted employe OF
horse car company in Boston. From 1870
to 1855 he was a clerk in the United
States Railway Mail Service from Boston
to Bangor and had the Republican party

FOR A LOWER TAX RATE.

Augusta, November 49, The savings
bank men are moving again to ask the
next legislature for reduction in taxa
ton. They say that the rate. seven
eighths of one Per cent on Investments
outside the state and fve-eighths within,
is too high and they will probably fix on
a reduction of one-eighth OF one per cent
as satisfactory. 1t is pointed out that after
January lst there will be but two or
three. savings banks in the state paying
as much as four per cent on deposits AMI
they will doubtless have to come down to
the level of the others. A comparison is
drawn between the high taxation of the
savings banks as compared with that of
the wild lands. The banks have an eff
cient committee on legislation, Hon. l..
C. Cornish of Augusta, Seth L. Carter of
Lewiston, John A. morrill, of Auburn
and John L. Crosby Of Bangor being
among the members.

Gen. Gomez writes to Admiral Samp-
SON that the condition of the people in
the interior If Cuba is worse now than
before the war. Starvation stares them
in the face, indeed, great many deaths
have already taken place from that
cause. Never, had these unfortunates
suffered so much, he says, ''neyer had
there been so many sorroeful episodes,
and never had the threatening wave ter
Torized them as now, when peace with
spain is already signed and when the
island Of Cuba is under the protection
of the country of Washington" Admiral
Sampson confirms Gomez's statement,
saying that "dire want is more wide
spread than at any time before Here
is a condition that calls loudly for our
Interference We liberated the Cubans
from Spanish tyranny in the name of
humanity. But our fall obligation to
humanity will not be discharged until
we have liberated them from suffering
and want.

John W. Kelley, the inventor of the
famous motor" has just died in Phila-
delphia. For some years past little has
been heard from him, but ten or twelve
years ago nobody figured in the news
papers oftener than he. Some twenty
years age he set up the claim that he had
discovered a new force, and he con-
stiuoted a machine which he said was
propelled by this force. He succeeded in
enlistlng the interest Of many New York
capitalists, and though he never explained
to them his invention or described this
force, except in meaningless jargon, he
had no difficulty in getting out of them
many hundred thousands of dollars for
his experiments. Over and again Keeley
claimed that he had perfected his ma
chine. and the stockholders were repeat
eddy called together to ses it go. But it
never went. For twenty years he man
aged to find dupes enough to keep him
well supplied with money. He finally
exhausted the supply, however, and for
the past five or six years little has been
heard about him.

In all probability this week will see the
end of the negotiations at Paris, Spain
either oonoeding all our demands or with
drawing from the conference. OF the lat
ter there is very slight danger. Indeed,
it is said that SagastA has already In
stIucted the Spanish commissioners to
relinquish the. Philippines, and that is
the only question pending that was ike
~ to result in Disagreement. Ihe con-
dition of affairs at Panay where the Span
iards were besieged by the natives, mas
done much doubtless to convince the
Spanish government of the unwisdom OF
trying to hold on to the Philippines II
the United States should relinquish all
claim to them, Spain would require
large army to reinstate herself IN con-
troll. This she has not got, and even II
she should raise it her finances could
not stand the strain which the putting
down of the many rebsllions which have
broken out in the Philippines would put
upon them. The loss of these islands will
of course be a severe DloW
to Spanish pride, but from the
standpoint of SPANS real in
terests it will probably be the best thing
that could happen to her. They have al
ways been burden. never returning in
revenue what it cost to govern them and
keep the native tribes in subsection,

We heard it stated recently. that the
astute wire .puller at The head of the Gro
nc institution had already, either by let
ter or by word of mouth, received
plsdges from enough representatives elect
to assure him that the University of

Log-rolling interests will combine to
give the university q big appropriation,
regardless of whether the state or, rather,
the taxpayers of the state, can afford to

The Boston Chamber of Commerce has
adopted series Of resolutions protest.
ing against the Incorporation of any pro-
visions relating to the bonding system
in the treaty which the joint commission
now in session at Washington are en-
gagged in framing on the ground that 1t
will imperil tha success of the treaty in
the seuate. The chamber holds that
the bonding system Is not SO much q
question between Canada and the Unit.
ed States as between certain trunk lines
of railroad. There Ia no doubt of the
truthof this None of the opposition to
the bonding system has come from the
people ofthe United States, but from GER
tain trunk lines of railroad which saw
in its abrogation help to their business.
The system as now carried on is agree
able to the people of Canada and the
United States. It won't be abrogated
with the consent Of either of them. 1t
q provision looking to that result should
be incorporated in the treaty now in
process of negotiation it would be de-
feated in the Senate and the whole
treaty would probably fail. The joint
high commission was created for the pur-
pose of settling questions upon which the
two countries were not in agreement.
The bonding system is not such ques-
ton, and therefore it is not included In
the scope of the purpose for which the
commission was appointed.
