miles beyond Patten, was arraigned
before Judge Vose in the municipal
court, this afternoon. on the complaint
Of Chairman Carleton Of the fish and
game commission, charged with killing
| q moose near his camp, Oct. II. He
| pleaded guilty, was fined $500 and costs
and if not paid in 10 days four months
in Jail. He was committed to Bangor
jail This was the moose that Alfred
Muller of Brooklyn, attempted to take
home ard for which he was arrested
and paid $3.50 Mason also pleaded gull
ty to Keeping a sporting camp without
a license. He also pleaded guilty to
selling a moose to said Muller to be
taken out of the State. He is a regis
tered guide.
James w. Cody of Patten, a register
ed guide, pleaded guilty at the same
time to killing a moose in close time,
Oct ., and also to selling two deer to
said Muller, to take to New York. He
has a wife and seven small children.
He was sentenced to pay 800 and costs
and was committed to Bangor Jail The
case for killing a moose was continued
Irving Palmer of Patten, a registered
guide, at the same time pleaded gull
ty to selling said Muller a moose to
take to New York, last year. Sentence,
500 and costs. He was committed to
Bangor jail.
1t seems that this Muller has been
carrying on q regular business Of com
ing to Maine. sometimes under his own
name and sometimes under an assumed
name, buying game and taking it to
New York and serving it to his GUS
toners in his chop houses in Brooklyn,
but his jig is up.
The officers are entitled to the great
est credit for their prompt and efficient
work in these cases. To accomplish
this Chairman Carleton made a night
trip to Patten and beyond. being out
two whole nights, and Warden Nichols
made a trip to the same locality, ar
resting the three guides. He also was
on the road two days and two nights.
The shipments of game through
Bangor are the heaviest in the history
of the State. Can the game stand
this great drain?" is a question being
anNiously asked by many. Every one
commends the wisdom Of the Legisla-
ture in making close time on deer COM
mence Dec. II.
Large number of sportsmen are in
the woods and every train from the
west is bringing many more. Mean
while Chairman Carleton and the war
dens are doing everything in their pow
er to have the laws respected and
obeyed.

DUNDEE CUT OFF.

London, oct. 2i.-No news vet re-

caused by Lord Wolsley's brief sum

evidently refers to the first battle Of
Glencoe: and the reasons why Com
mandant Erasmus failed to come to the
assistance of Commandant Mayer can
not be fathomed Had he done so. the
British victory might have been still
more dearly bought.
Probably commandant Mayer, haV-

thought to get all the glory of Wiping
out the Britishers himself, and opened
attack without waiting for the others.

of his hastness.

Selling adulterated coffee must be a
profitable business. There is one firm
here which puts up combination Of
coffee and chicory which is sold at 20
cent per pound. The mixture contains
only 30 per cent of the coffee berry,
while 20 per cent is chicory. The latter
is worth cents a pound. If we allow
that pure coffee is worth 30 cents Il
pound, the amount of coffee in the mix
ture would be worth cents, while the
chicory would be worth 3k cents, in all
1Gk cents. Selling the mixture at 20
cents pound would give profit of 100
per cent. But the coffee used is very
much cheaper article than figured in
the above calculation. 1t is suggested
that when the law is amended, a clause
should be inserted compelling vendors
TO put the percentages of the ingredi-
ents used upon their labels.

LABOR NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The circular letter of the Labor Coun-
Gil of San Francisco, will defeat itself.
Intemprate abuse, and the reiteration
of the word lie, is not going to have
much effect upon thinking men. The
Italian, on the other hand, who wants
to get out of Italy into a field where
he can labor more advantageously than
in his own country, will reason that the
labor council is anxious to keep the lab
or field to itself. The Italian may he
ignorant but he is shrewed
We want however to show our labor
position more thoroughly on the lines
pointed out by Dr. Maxwell. The labor
used is not nearly as cheap as it is rep
resented, and the condition of the lab
orer is superior to what it is in many
parts of Europe.
That the letter will have its effect in
the United States is true. There are al
ways people who form their opinions
without consideration for the source
from which they come, and there are
those who prefer to take their opinions
from prejudice. The Star is in a posi-
ton to know that the State Department
has made thorough enquiry into labor
conditions here, and that when the
matter comes before Congress, the in
formation will be available.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

Cardinal Vaughans speech at the
July 4, is an extremely significant one.
1t must be kept in mind that princes
of the Roman Catholic church do not
speak in public, without well weighing
their words, and that when the words
are as strong and as significant as the
cardinals were, not only had he weigh
ed them himself, but he must have been
very thoroughly satisfied that the wear
er of the triple tiara approved of them.
His speech was an appeal to America
and England to cooperate in carrying
civilization into Asia in opposition to
Russia. 1t may seem strange that Ro-
man Catholic prelate of the Importance
of the cardinal archbiship of Westmin-
ster should appeal to two Protestant
states. But the church has ever been
wise, and it is in these Protestant
states that protection to her mission
aries and churchmen lies.
Though the United States and Great
Britain are avowedly Protestant states,
they are tolerant states and millions of
free to exercise their religion and to es-
tablish parishes as ever they are in
avowedly Roman Catholic countries.
The Roman Catholic countries are no
protecting powers in Asia, when COM
pared with the two Anglo-Saxon pow
ers, and very naturally the church
seeks the strong arms of the latter
Russia is not a tolerant power, nor
are the Russians a tolerant people.
Where the Russian establishes himself,
the Greek church goes, and he does not
| care to see any other. Above all, the
Russian from a religious point of view,
hates the Roman Catholic. The auto
cratic emperor, or the powers which
surround him, consider the claims of the
pope antagonistic, politically as we'll as
religiously. Is it any wonder that Ro-
man Catholicism should look with dread
upon the complete classification of Asia.
If this occurred, goodbye to any hopes
of spreading among the Asiatic nations.
But with tolerant Protestant states it
would be very different matter. Ro-
man Catholic missionaries would be as
free to make converts as any one lese.
! The declaration of Cardinal Vaughan
can then be considered as nothing so
extraordinary. The causes for it are
plain enough. What is extraordinary
about it is that so high a dignitary
should throw down the gauntlet so os-
tentatiously against Russia-so agrees
sive-or perhaps decided is the better
word-a declaration of policy will come
in the nature of surprise, both to the
! United States and to Europe.

sports. The day when a man simply
devoted himself to sport and neglected
everything else, II he wants to do that

In university.
In connection with the remarks r.
ferred to II IL interesting to note, In an
account Of Harvard commencement
which took place June 2S, how the ath-
letes stood. OF these Captain y. Il.
Diblee of last fairs eleven and this
springs nine received his degree with
distinction. as also did Malcolm Donald,
also of the eleven. Galbraith of the
nine received all sorts of honorable
mention, and together with him was
Farley of last falls eleven. These Two
men were at the very top in the class
of 49, Roger Walcott, Jr., an all round
athlete, received his degree cum laude.
In the law school, Ellery H. Clark, ath-
lete, and F. b. Fox, hurdler, stood
among the first men, and in the medical
school Tom Manahan, another athlete,
received his degree with honor"
This is not bad showing for the ath-
letic men in Harvard, and the same
story would be told, if the class lists
Of other universities were examined.
The modern university is by no means
perfect, but what it does in the way of
encouraging athletics and raising a
high standard for amateur sport, is
work in the right direction.
1t is satisfactory to note that the
young men who have been born and
bred here, have gone to universities on
the mainland, and have held their own,
both in study and in athletics. 1t

The Morning Star returns from the
Carolines while they still think they are
under Spanish rule. 1t will take some
time for them to learn that Spain has
sold out to Germany, and that mucn
more progressive government has them
in charge now. This voyage of the mis-
siOnary ship becomes, therefore, the
more interesting, because it is the last
that will have been carried out under
the old conditions. Spain did no colon
izing upon the islands. There were
merely a few fortified points, where the
Spaniards had walled towns, and ac-
cording to description which recently
came to hand, and will shortly be pub
lished on the mainland, the Spaniards
never went outside those Notifications
unless they were armed. The Germans
will manage very differently. They will
encourage settlers of their own coun-
trymen, their own traders will do the
business of the various groups, and they
will not live in the walled towns. The
native problem will be interesting to
observe How will it be worked out
under German rule? The government
by Germany will be an active one, and
there will be small show for the at
present emi-independent chiefs. OF
one thing we may be certain and that
is, that the Caroline Islands instead of
being out of the world, will now be
brought into much closer contact with

SATURDAY, JULY IS, 1899.

Mo advance has been made in the
matter of selecting new cemetery site
or for the establishment of crema-
tory. There was wild excitement about
both two or three months ago, and the
public took a hand in the discussion,
but like the home for consumptives and
other philanthropic projects, it has re-
suited in talk and nothing more. There
will be a rush for getting cemetery
some day, and then an undesirable site
may have to be taken.
