LOCATION OF ROADS.
The Hill Tax Expense Is n Matter For
Serious Consideration.


The tax we have to pay because the
original cattle tracks and paths led alb
ruptly up and down over hills seems to
be as immoyable as the hills themselves
which cause it. Immense sums would
be eventually saved if many hill roads
were relocated. In learning how to i'm
prove our highways and to construct
new ones, it is we'll to learn where lines
should run, in order to insure economy
in grades and reduce the tax ON time,
strength, wear and tear and mainte-
nance caused by hills.
Writing on this subject in the Port
land Industrial Journal, Mr.. S. d. Gray
tells of roads over hills which "must
not be gone around because our fathers
travelled them and we may as well be
footsore as they" He cites case Gin
which both town and county commits
sioners refused to act This road was
two miles in length, with eight rugged
hills, four of them unsafe to ride up or
down. All these hills could have been
avoided and level road made for less
than $1,000 that would pay for itself
in ten years. The old hills still remain.
What we need is an understanding not
how to build our roads, but to say where
our roads can and should be built"

Good Roads Movement.

The movement for good roads is like
many other things in this world. OBJ
stinately opposed by the very ones to
whom its accomplishment as fact
would do the most good. In genuine
reform such as this the crusade is long
and arduous and disheartening to any
but the most determined advocates. The
wheelmen have done good missionary
work, but apparently they have not
convinced the rural mind that the ad-
vantages they are contending for would
be general and farreaching. Baltimore

s'liquid shine they call it in Hawaii
and the sense OF oppression was great as
the atmosphere became heavier and less
easy to breathe.
The Rev. q. L. Pearson, of the First
Methodist church, was the man chosen to
make he last prayer of the missionary
government. He prayed for Hawaii Nei
and especially for her native sons and
daughters. During the prayer every one
ON the platform stood, Minister SeWall
lingering rest!essly and unconsciously a
large blue envelope OF official appearance
which he held under his arm.
Mr.. Sewall is a little man with betting
brow, but he stood very straight for the
occasion, and his voice was the only one
that carried. Facing the president, who
had risen, Mr.. SewalI said in a voice that
fiickered for moment and then blezed
out with renewed strength:
",Ir President l present you a certified
copy of joint resolution of the Congress of the
United States approved by President July l.,
le9o, entitled Joint resolution to provide for
annexation of the Hawaiian Islands to the
United States This joint resolution accepts,
ratiies and confirms on the part of the United
States the cession formally consented to and
approved by the republic of Hawaii"
The square blue envelope went under
President Dole's arm and that gentleman
replied:
"a treaty of political union having been
made, and cession formally consented to by the
,f hoe I,I-
the United States of America. now, in the in
terest of the Hawaiian body polite, and with
full confidence in the honor, justice and friend
ship of the American people, yield up to you.
as representative of the government of the
United States, the sovereignty and public pro
perty of the Hawaiian Islands,"
Mr.. Sewall's reply was.
"Mr. President In the name of the United
States accept the transfer of the sovereignty
and property of the Hawaiian government.
The admiral commanding the United States
naval forces in these waters will proceed to
perform the duty entrusted to him."
1t lacked but six minutes of II, and
faint, quavering strains of "Hawaii
Ponol" were heard coming up with but
hall their usual volume.
President Dole made signal to Col.
Soper, who waved white handkerchief
to some one in the crowd. The troops
presented arms, and far away was heard
the boom of the "Philadelphia' IS" salute
and the nearer trembe of the Hawaiian
battery. There were twenty-one guns,
the last national salute to the Hawaiian
flag. Before the salute there was vigor-
GUS wig-wagging of signal flags from the
central tower, upon which, as well as
upon side towers, men had been posted
all the morning. Bugies rose and fell at
last in melancholy "taps", and while
every one held his breath, the beautiful
flag of Hawaii shuddered for an instant,
then started and slowly sank to the
ground, where it was caught and folded.
Just as it started in its descent, the
clouds broke and square of blue sky
showed itself. Every man within sound
of the saluting guns uncovered, and fer
away at the water front Kanaka boatGlen
plying their trade, barred and bowed their
heads. The admiral nodded to Lieut.. Win
terhalter, who gave the order "Colors roll

ton OF the INDIVIDUAL, opened Dy Dr.
Stevens, of BluehiIl, followed by Mr..
! Spofford, of Bucksport, Rev. c. N. Davie.
Very strong and helpful thoughts came
| from the speakers as we'll as from the del
egates. Rev. E. Bean in particular laid
| emphasis upon purity OF life and sepa-
ration from the world On the part Of the
church member. His sentiment OF the
amusements found hearty response
from the audience. Rev. ID. L. Yale pre-
scented the theme 1.-The salvation Of the
individual.
In the absence of Rev. T. 8. Lewis, who
was to speak on the topic Responsibility
| OF the laity for success of church work.,
it was treated by Rev. William Forsyth.
1t would be profitable to goodness and to
the solution Of many church problems il
each Christian in Hancock county could
only be made familiar with this address.
Unfortunately the topic was not written
out, so it cannot be presented In print
verbatim.
The burden Of his message was that the
| saving of men and the varied church
work of the day was the opportunity OF
the church mem bers. Many things were
left to the minister that some church
member could do much better.
At this point came the reports from
| churches. A numb were not represented,
! but those present seemed to show, on the
whole a steady growth or at least a hold
| ing OF their own.
1t was expected Secretary ID. p. Hatch,
OF NJ. II. NJ. s., would be present at this
service. A postal informed the confer
! ence OF his detention in Portland by ill
ness.
Owing to r severe storm the evening
| service was omitted, and the afternoon
meeting closed the conference.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
| The hour opened with praise and
prayer. Rev. E. Bean had the tirst paper:
"Why should the churches support the
county conference" 1t was instructive
own life the value of regular attendance
on such gatherings.
1.-The place Of prayer in the church" was
taken up by Rev. }. P. Cushman. Rev. J.
s. Richards presented paper, ''The place
| OF common sense in the life Of the
church." Both gentlemen were thorough
in their dealing with the subjects, and
the delegates gave excellent attention and
discussed freely.
| The woman's hour was occupied chiefly
by Mrs. Ida V. Woodbury. in an address
on the work of the American missionary
association. All were charmed with her
sweet manner and touching presentation
OF her peculiar work.
| Rev. j. p. Cushman pronounced the
benediction and our work in 1898 was
| closed.
During the noon recess Wednesday, the
min ia association met and transacted
a few items of business. The question OF
| tramp ministers was discussed, and
will probably come up later on for care
full consideration.
The success of the gathering was due in
no small degree to the untiring zeal and
| constant presence OF Rev. ID. l.. Yale,
who furnished abundant supplies of mis-
! sonary material and papers, and by his
| frequent suggestions and advice added
materially to the interest OF the confer

SONS, seats had been erected on the soft
natural sward.
While the morning was yet cool, Chi
nese women with little almond eyed
babies and Portuguese women with chill
dsen in arms, their eyes black aloes,
came and pre-ompted these seats, which
were outside the rope Special guests
were admitted through the lower hall OF
HE great stone building. 1t a tre-
menduus task to seat these special guests
Many seats on both upper and lower bal
cony were reserved merely for first corners,
but beyond, i'll the stand, representatives
of he foreign office, literally buried be-
meath gold braid and brass fringes, had a
dreadful time seating dignitaries of the
little republic whose minutes were num-
bered.
They have always been stick!ers for pre-
cedence in Hawaii. Perhaps j. is a legacy
from their recent monarchy, hut at any
rate one must be up in the peerage in or
der to seat a dinner party correctly in
Honolulu. All these rules were strictly
adhered to on this last but one public APP
pearance OF the tiny court of the island
republic. The gorgeous officials of the
foreign office acted as ushers.
The platform, decorated with entwined
Hawaiian and American flags without,
was divided into halves within. The
front row OF seats on one side was left va
cent for President Dole and his cabinet;
that on the other for Minister Sewail
Admiral Miller and his staff. Beside each
gentleman sat a lady of corresponding
rank. The wife of the president had the
place OF honor on one side and the wife
OF Minister Sewall had the same place
on he other side.
Next to Mrs. Dole came cabinet ladies,
and behind them wives OF ministers and
ex-ministers seated next their usbands,
and the foreign diplomats and consuls
and their wives. About the last to come
on he platform, which was kaleidoscope
OF gay colors, plentifully mixed with the
white of the tropics, were several native
gentlemen and ladies. The men were all
politicians, men who could not afford to
stay away.
Martial music announced the coming Of
the national guard of Hawaii. Preceded
by the government band, they came
through "Mauka" gate with the Hawaiian
flag floating and the band playing Ha
waiian music. Behind them were the
blue jackets of the "Philadelphia', as
American in looks as the guard is foreign.
Separated from the "Philadelphia's" men,
walking apart, were three men from the
"Philadelphia' with great roll in their
arms. This prosaic-looking bundle was
the American flag, soon to be raised. The
avenue of palms was full of rows of sail
ors in blue and white. The spaces to the
side were crowded with soldiers with
brown faces.
At 11.45 President Dole and his cabinet
entered, everybody standing as they came
On the platform. The president was we'll

of his cabinet were not all so correctly

Warrants Were Placed Refused to
Serve Them Unless Well Paid.

A remarkable phase of the murder
of Bandmaster Joseph Santoro, Of OH

cere, the man suspected Of 1t. has not
taken his departure but is still, or at
least was last night, at his home in
Spring Brook. AS yet no systemc tc
effort has been made t. fasten the
crime on the murderer.
Antonio GRECO, of Old Forge, hr lth-
er of Mrs. Pascere, comes in for sus-
picion, too. Warrants were sworn out
yesterday for the arrest Of Fascere and
Grieco, and placed in the hands Of two

him toward evening and informed him
they would not arrest Pascere and
