Two recent events that have not been
much noticed by the public press have
lately taken place which indicate q
new interest and great advance in the
line of practical forest economy in New
England. One of these is the appoint
ment of Mr. Austin Cary by the Ber-
lin Falls Lumber Company to superin-
tend its cutting on land which it owns;
and the other is the appointment Or
Mr.. Griffiths by the International Pa
per Company, as forester. Mr. Cary is
a graduate of Bowdoin, has studied
forestry in Germany. and done most
excellent work for our Maine forestry
commission in his exploration of some
of our spruce forests and his writings
upon them. Mr.. Griffiths is Massa-
chusetts man, a college graduate and
was in Germany in 1895, the year before
Mr.. Cary was there. He has worked
with Mr.. Clifford Pinchot in his explor-
alton of the Adirondack forests for the
state of New York, and is now in New
Hampshire looking over the forest
lands of the International paper syndi-
cate and recommending the company
as to their forest cut. There is much
that is of significance to the interests
of scientific and practical forestry in
the action of these great companies in
placing their timber lands under the
care of two such we'll educated special
experts as Mr.. Cary and Mr.. Griffiths.

When to give and when to refuse, is
the great problem facing the person
who desires to be charitable and help
>ful to others. There are so many
shams and frauds among beggars, that
one is almost inclined to lose all faith
in human nature and refuse all ap-
peals. The man with the sore arm is
now seeking aid in various Maine
cities. 1t is an old scheme. The sore
is caused by binding on the arm which
had been scratched with pin, copper
cents that had been soaked in vinegar.
To avoid blood poisoning he uses
plenty of vaseline and carbolic acid
With the arm thus treated he has no
trouble in making quarters and halves.
Recently an Il Am Blind" man in
Bath was seen reading paper in the
evening and deaf mute was heard
talking cheerily after his days beg
ging was over. Occasionally an honest
beggar will admit that he wants your
money to buy a drink and he is fully
as deserving of aid as nine out of ten
others who ask for aims.

Portland Advertiser: AT the State

Alfred this week the tramp nuisance
was discussed and committee was
appointed to endeavor to secure more
drastic law on this subject from the
coming Legislature. But there is law
enough already. AS with other statutes
that might be mentioned, the trouble is
that the law is not enforced. The act
Of 1889 requires municipal officers TO

prosecute tramps, and these people,
the law says, shall be imprisoned in
the county Jail for term at hard
labor. 1t is truism that no law Of

Madrid, May &.-The Imparcia' today pub- fishes dispatch from Havana, giving the following account of the transfer of two newspaper correspondents, Hayden Jones and Charles Thrall for some of the Spanish prisoners of war; It says: Yesterday morning the armed tug Maple, flying a white flag, arrived off Havana with Lieu tenant-Colonel Cortijo, Surgeon-Major Ju- 1ian and their two orderlies The Spanish gunboat Malina, with a colonel and the two captured correspondents on board, imme- diatey left the harbor to meet her. The exchange was formally effected and the facts set forth in writing
 Before departing Messrs. Thrall and Jones said they desired to publicly express their gratitude for the kind treatment they had received in captivity and for the nu- merous delicate attentions bestowed upon them by Spaniards. They made this declar- ation contradiction of stories published in papers alleging they had been nl-treated.
 "The Spanish prisoners, Lieutenant-Colo- mel Cortijo, Surgeon Julian and their two orderlies, narrated that during their trip from Tampa to Key West they were amazed to find themselves the objects of the most friendly demonstrations on tbe part of Americans Ladies offered them bouquets and said their sympathles were with Spain and that they detested the Cubans.
 MT. Knight, the correspondent of the London Times, will probably be released"

London, May 2S.-In an interview today Dr. Chauncey M. Depew dwelt at length upon the Anglo-Amer.can relations and the problem confronting America He said:
 'The feeling of America from df trust and hostility has turned to cordial fr.end- ship and the most remarkable change of popular sentiment of the century. few years ago, any mild treaty of arbitration would have been rejected.
 '.Today much stronger agreement would meet with universal approval even in the senate' Continuing, pr. Depew repeated his arguments against colonial expansion, flor a country which is stiii undeveloped and which could support 3Oo- 100000 people," adding: "No considerable portion of the population would leave the comforts of America to expatiate them selves for the barbarous- conditions or the Philippine Islands or the hardships of colonial settlement anywhere.
 with Spain driven out of the western hemisphere we are too far off to fear the interference of any European power. Our only powerful neghbor is Great Britain and the events of the last few months have paved the way for such treaty of arbi- tration and general understanding as will remove from the dominion of possibility the danger of any hostilities ever occurring be- tween us With Cuba freed, the purpose and the sole purpose of the war with Spain and her mediavalsm removed from our sphere of action the path of the United States in her marvellous development and unprecedented prosperity is clear.

CAVALRY COMPANY
Being Raised at Montgomery m Anticipation of
 Call From the Government

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald
 Montgomery, Ala, May 2S.-Messrs. Rob- ert s. Teague and William A Crossland are organizing a cavalry company here in anticipation of the next call for volunteers from Alabama. They are both exception- ally fine military men, and Mr. Teague who will be captain of the company, it is conceded will be one of the best and safest of the volunteer commanders
 He is anxious to fill his company in as short time as possible, and will cheer fully enlist recruits from places outside of Montgomery. The government, of course, furnishes the horses and all equipments.
 The Montgomery Grays, or. rather the members of the National Guard company, who did not enlist in the regular army, have effected an organization and have rendered their services to the governor whenever he needs and can use them. A great many of those comprising the home guard were rejected by the examining surgeons at Mo- bile for failure to meet the requirements of the physical examination.

GEN. WHEELER EXPLAINS
Why Civilians Cannot Be Appointed as Aides
 de Camp.

Headquarters Cavalry Division U. s. Army,
 Tampa, Fla, May 26, 1898. To the Editor of The Age-Herafd:
 The law organizing the volunteer army, taken in connection with the statutes as they stood at the time, made 1t imperative that aides should be selected from officers of the army, and the department decided that the appointment of civilian as aide de-camp was not authorized by law. In re- ply to such application the war department telegraphed as follows
 "The secretary of war directs that you inform general officers of your command that they must select aides from officers belonging to their respective commands"
 This made it absolutely impossible to ap- point any one of the numerous civilian ap- plicants for the position of aide-de-camp. therefore asked the appointment of three officers from Alabama who had applied to me for such service. did no injustice to any one, and did not decline or neglect to appoint any one whom it was possible for me to select.
 It has pained me that have found it impossible to secure the appointment of men whom I esteem very highly " who would have made very valuable officers indeed.
 Very truly yours, JOS. WHEELER.

SYSTEM OF COMMUNICATION.
Messages Pass Between Insurgents and Our d Vessels Daily.


 Key West May 2.-The system of com munication between the United States gov ernment and the Cuban insurgents mas been so well established that the forces are working in perfect harmony with those of this country. Messages pass between the island and the United States vessels ev- cry day. Yesterday Ernesto Castro arrived on the Annapolis with news from Matan- gas province and this morning Alfredo Lima was brought in by the Tecumseh and Manuel Joga from Eastern Cuba by the Wampatuck In spite of all that has been said in disparagement of the usefulness or the insurgents, officers of the army consid- CT it highly essential that for every move ment on the outside there shall be corresponding movement in the interior. When the American troops land 1t will De with Cuban guides; when they move in land it will be with lead of Gomez vet erans.
 Except at few points, the coast IS not so we'll guarded as it was a year ago. It is we'll known that the steamer Dauntless landed a large cargo in Matanzas harbor last year, the lights of the city aiding them in finding the landing place. There is no reason to doubt that present expedi- tions and those to go later will have no trouble whatever.

BRYAN DESIRES
 INVESTIGATION Does Not Fear That the Charges Filed Against Him Will Affect His Standing.

Washington, May 2S.-The case against Marshal Lee Bryan will not come up for settlement until the attorney general re- turns, which will be en next Tue y. Colonel Bryan says he has no fear waat- ever, that the charges will in any way effect his standing with the department.
 The fact that the charges were made by a discharged ennploye VII have the effect of discountng them very larg ly. Nea ly every day the department has charges of one character or another, flied aga nst a collector, marshal or surveyor by me one who has been dismissed by the hes official. Stll, the department took g. nizance of those filed by Samuel against Bryan, and until the report is received and examined before the attorney-gensral the case cannot be disposed of, simply with denial.
 There are number of republicans in the state who opposed the appointment of Bryan who are doing much to add testi- mony to the inability o1 the present msr- shal to conduct the affars of the govern ment in the Middle Alabama district

Kingston, May 2S.-12:3o p. m.-The Adula arrived here from Cienfuegos this morning with eghty-five refugees, including several prominent and wealthy persons.
 Captain Walker reported that on going into Cienfuegos on Monday he saw five American warships-the Iowa, Massachu- setts, Brooklyn, Castine and Indiana-but all were gone when he came out on Thurs day. The Adula was detained four days before the Spanish authorities for reason not specified, but it is supposed she was held because she had one man aboard who was not on the ships articles. She was re- leased without any penalty being imposed N
 The blockade of Cienfuegos has eveldentiy been abandoned temporarily and the span iards in the city are elated over this fact' but fear that the American ships have con- centrated to destroy the Spanish fleet.
