Hon. b. W. Marston, of Louisiana. has
come out strongly in favor Of woman suf-
frage. He says:
am an ardent advocate of full suffrage for
woman upon an equality with man. This Is no
sudden or recent hobby with me 1 have reached
my conclusions after deep, thorough and earn.
est Investigations. In many states of the Union
partial suffrage has been conferred upon
women. In Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and
Idaho, the rights of a woman are equal to those
OF man, under the law.
Gentlemen say they would not degrade
woman with the ballot. Nor would L. But
would raise the disgraced ballot to the level of
our women! Gentlemen say, "the hand that
rocks the cradle rules the world" deny It,
The ballot rules the land; at least the law saws
so. Then you would outlaw our women?
Have they souls? Have they eyes and ears and
brains? Are they people or are they brutes2
1t is crying shame-the way we treat our
women But gentlemen say women have pro-
tectors. deny 1t! Your wife and mine NAV
now be well protected. but who will protect
them when we are gone? Who protects the
millions of working women in this land?
Do you think the ballot, handled by women,
would consign the little boys and little girls to
the miserable influences now degrading orr
boys to the level of brutes? Is there a woman
in this audience who would not use her ballot
to elevate her boys to the level OF her girls in

THE HOOPER'S MILL GHOST
Tells IA Story Which Interested
Parties Contradict

Aehs StoTy "nlcn interested
Parties Contradict.
Col. ii. f. Hamlin aud Orrin w. Tripp,
while returning home from Nicolin last
Friday night, met with an accident. Col.
Hamlin was driving his spirited horse
John NJ" Turning the sharp corner
near the wooden mill, at a lively clip,
the light sleigh was overturned and the
occupants were spilled out
Up to this point all stories agree, but
further accounts conflict. Col. Hamlin
declares emphatically that "Jonn NJ,
when he felt the sleigh overturn, like the
intelligent animal that he is land no one
disputes that assertion) stopped short,
and waited for the occupants, or the ex-
occupants OF the sleigh, to straighten up
things and resume the trip home, none
the worse for the spill.
This is one story. But the ghost that
haunts the Hooper mill tells a different
one. He was taking a mid night stroll
out through Joyville, and saw the whole
thing. He says that John NJ :" stopped
short, all right, but that wood pile
stopped him. He (the ghost) says there
was quite serious time there for awhile,
and it even looked though someone
wopld have To walk into Ellsworth drag
giug badly naui"o
Now this Hooper's mill ghost sees
good many queer things in the course OF
year, and he knows thing or two.
One thing he knows is that mans word
land a ghosts word is no better than a
man's) is pretty apt to be doubted II he
cannot offer proof. And so this wise old
ghost, while things were being straight
ened OUT, just walked up, invisible OF
course, and glided away with an overcost,
which he held as evidence to prove his
story.
Col. Hamlin admits that the coat disap-
peared very mysteriously.

THE SHORE LINE.
TRAINS WILL BE RUNNING NEXT
FALL.
BUT CONTRACTORS HARDLY EXPECT TO
COMPLETE ROAD BY AUGUST
NEWS OF THE ROAD.

1t is not likely that the Shore Line rail
road will be completed August /, as first
announced, but month or SO later will
find the road running. This will be due
to no unusual delay. THE AMERICAN re-
porter learned from one of the contrac-
tors that 1t was an unusual thing in rail-
road building for the work to be COM
pleted In the time first named. With the
best OF care there were sure to be some
unavoidable delays.
AT present all is working smoothly on
the line, and things are in readiness to
push work as soon as possible. Contrac-
tor Strang, of Strang & Russell, who was
in Ellsworth this morning, said he had
given orders to start work on his section
yesterday, but could not tell how the
present storm had affected them.
Connection has been made with the
Maine Central railroad at the Batchelder
place, and switch will be put in this
week for the delivery Of rails and track
material. Some Of the material has al
ready been shipped, some coming by rail
and by vessel to Mt. Desert Ferry.
W. B. Goodwin, who will look after
track supplies, is in Ellsworth, and will
make this his headquarters for the
present.
Ties are being delivered all along the
line. Many ties are coming from Aroos-
took county. At Caribou $500 were pur-
chased at Is cents each.
