was announced, and when President
Barnes raped for order. Buckle re-

A GENTLE HINT.

I know personally" said Mr.. Buckle,
that there is a very decided opposi-
! ton to Nh. Pratt for this position, and
scores of other people could be found
who would be satisfactory for the
place"
In conclusion, Mr.. Buckle added that
the appropriate place for the statue of
peace would be the mayors Office
| CALLISTER CHAMPIONS PRATT.
Callister then rushed into the fray,
and raised his voice in an eloquent
eulogium of the ex-chief. 1.-The mayor"
he began, lis the executive officer Of
the city, and the chief of police ought
to be conceded to him. The mayor
should have a man in that position
whom he knows will regulate the af-
fairs OF the city in accordance with
his wishes. AS TO the article which ap-
peared in the Tribune. if the gentleman
had read the body of it instead of the
head lines, he would have discovered
that the substance of it was that Mayor
Clark affirmed that he was pledged to
no one"
Buckle admit thai But the whole
article was a fraud and a subterfuge
on the public.
Callister.-That may be. But the
article conveys the meaning, and not
the head lines
Mr.. CaIister claimed he knew of no
opposition to Pratt among the taXpay-
ers. The fight against him grew out
of opposition to the non-partisan party.
and the Dale ordinance was one of the
first evidences OF ii. Prior to that time,
Mr.. Dale had shown by his votes that
he was in favor Of Pratt for the place.

sARDINE TRUST.
A Big Combine VIII Henceforth Bile the
Little Fishes in lie.

S. G. Stevens, of the Broohlin Packing
Co.. at Brooklin, Me-, was in Bangor
Thursday on his way to New York fro.
trip along the coast, where he has jus
completed one of the biggest deals made
in any business in CHS state. Mr.. Stew
ems has secured an option on all the sar-
dine factories in Maine, for syndicate OF
English capitalists, representing S3,000,-
600. This business transaction is a very
important one and IL it Is finally COM
pleted, and Mr.. Stevens says there is 10
doubt that it will be, it will practically
give the syndicate the control of the sar-
dine packing business in this country.
There are 53 canning factories in Maine
and Mr.. Stevens has an option on every
one of them at a figure amounting to
about S., 500, 000 The factories are locat-
ed at Mllbridge, Brooklin, Passport, Lu-
bee. Jopesport, hobbinston.e Southwest
Harbor. Green's Landing, swans Island
and RockIand. Mr.. Stevens's plant at
Brooklin is the largest in Maine. Mr..
Stevens has been working Or this deal
for the past year and he has most success
fully carried it out. -
The output of all the factories amounts
to about 900, 600 cases per year and
there are now about 100, 900 cases on hand
The selling of these factories to the big
syndicate means that more business will
canned in Maine will be stronger. Mr..
Stevenss factory at Brooklin employs,
during the canning season about 200
people and in II factories in Maine there
are employed an average of 1850 people
each. The factories are all located on the
coast, covering strlplof about so miles.
There are only two factories west of
Brooklin, at Rockland and Boothbay.
The concerns who are interested in the
consolidation are as follows:
At Passport: Geo. O. Grady & Co., E.
A. Holmes, the Blanchard Packing Co,
Morris Holes, Daniel Mccullough, H. N.

Mr.. Stevens told reporter
that he expected to have the transfer Of
the property, ,etc., entirely made within
the next three weeks. He left Bangor on
Thursday afternoon for Harrington, on
his way into eastern Maine to further per-
feet the plans of the syndicate.

METRIC SYSTEM FAVORED.
Academy of Medicine Discusses Subject of
Weights and Measures.

Champions of the metric system OF
weights and measures had full sway last
evening, at the monthly meeting OF the
Maine Academy of Medicine. Dr. Wedge
wood of Lewiston was in the chair. Inc
topic for consideration, as announced
on the printed call for the meeting was
"Origin and development of some COM
mon standards Of weight and measure,
but the whole burden of the discussion
was in favor of universally adoption of
the metric system. There was only one
man in the whole assem- blage who had the
courage to take the negative side of the
debate, and he was promptly and effec-
lively squelched.
The first ado ress was an able and in
terestipg one by Mr.. @. 0. Caswell. He
dwelt at some length on the origin OF
standards of weight and measure, and
traced the development and changes up
to the present time. Then he presented
forceful argument in favor of nation
al adoption of the metric system, and
compulsory use of it by the American
people.
Prof. W. G. Strong of Bates college,
was the next speaker. He uses exclusive
ly in the college laboratory the metric
system, while in his mechanical work
shop connected with the same institu-
| ton the old English system of standards
is used He was very enthusiastic in his
advocacy of supplanting of the COM
mon SYSTEM in use by the system which
nearly all the civilized countries OF the
globe have adopted. He cited some of
the objections raised by opponents OF the
metric system, and, one by one, refuted
them.
Mr.. Percy H. Richardson of Portland,
speaking from the standpoint of civil
engineer, said the decimal system is al
ready in constant use in that profession,
and would be exclusively used were 1t
not for the fact that other lines of bust
ness and professions with which civil
engineering comes in close contact are
not ready to adopt the new system. He
believed in teaching the metric system
to the children and advocated passage
by Congress of measure to make its
adoption compulsory.
Pharmacy Commissioner d. W. Hesel-
tine of Portland advocated the metric sys-
tom because of it's accuracy and unlimit.
ed adaptibility.
Postmaster George L. SWEET gave some
information in reference to the use of the
metric system in foreign mails depart.
ment of the post office.
| Superintendent Samuel Peters Of the
Portland company gave an insight in
to the building of locomotives and steam
engines, and showed how necessary the
metric system of measurements comes
into play.
DR.. Spaulding read an especially inter-
esting paper on the subject under dis
oussion. he went deeper into the details
of the system than some Of the other
speakers had done. He had found the
metric system the most convenient for
use in his profession

Togus and Dr. Holt of Portland Endorsed

Col. F. N. Dow spoke briefly on the sub
ject. DR.. S. P. Warren didn't believe
the metric system would ever be used by
the present generation, and could see no
sufficient reason why 1t should be,
though heJ had no objection to it's adop-
ton by the next generation. His remarks
were CURLY replied to by some Of the pre-
vious speakers.
