Lousy Lane" so-called, in South
Portland is not very agreeably sug-
gestive name. but it has its origin in
an event of historical importance and
interest. and not. as many suppose. in
an effort to describe disgusting condi-
tions. Some 200 years ago there was a
settlement at Barbary creek. in the
vicinity. of French Huguenots among
whom was one Lougee. for whom the
lane, now called Lousy" was named.
and hence in course Of time came the
present far from elegant term by
which the lane is designated. Descend
ants of the Lougee for whom the lane
was originally named, yet live in the
vicinity. Among the Huguenot set
tiers at that point was Pierre Bau-
duoin, who. upon leaving France, took
the name ''Bowdoin." He Was the
grandfather of Governor Bowdoin az
Massachusetts. and 70 him ana to tho
persecution which drove him from his

Most Of the Maine newspapers and

have published wonderful skeleton
story emanatinG from the pen Of a
Bangor correspondent Who knows a
good story when he secs ii ana who
secs some Of them every few DAYS
when he casts his minds eye into tn.
depths of his imagination in the search
for good stuff. This story rccuunts tn.
finding Of a skeleton under tho timher.;
of an old house in orrincton. from
which tales Of ghosts and dreadful do
lnEs Of many sorts have suddenly
sprung W. Maine editors grabbed at
this as if it had been an invitation ia Il
free lunch. one or two of the great
papers IF the world swallowed every
bone Of it. Now ii is said that it is
perfectly true that the bones were
found-thc bones Of a skeleton 1t was
a skeleton for fair. They were found
under some timbcrs. The timbers
Were in Orrngton. Thus. the only
missing link is the man who years ago
killed the pig that owned the bones
that lay in the hole under the house
that the correspondent dreamed about.
1t is by such lectures as Or. Edward
Everett Hale delivered on the other
evening, that the history and attrac-
tons of Maine are being advertised to
the most cultivated audiences in Bos-
ton. The story of our early history
was graphically told. and the views
thrown before his audience were rep
reSentative Of some Of our most inter-
estinG and picturesque localities. In
the brief abstract Of Dr. Hales lecture.
which was given in the papers. that
historian appears not to have men
toned the fact that an English settle
ment under Sir George Popham was
made at the mouth of the Kennebec
river in 16o7-13 years before the land
ing at Plymouth in the old Bay state.
We have never been able to under
stand why it is that Massachusetts
has never been willing to give her
daughter the full credit Of this colon
ization-Which historians unite in call
ing THE first English settlement in
New England''-but are always quot
ing Plymouth.

An INTOLERABLE DEMAND.

The latest report concerning the Alaska
boundary dispute Is scarcely credible. 1t would
be absolutely incredible but for the knowledge
Americans have Of the extremes TO which some
Canadian politicians are ready to 60 for the
sake of a sensation. If that part Of it relating
to the Canadian demand be true however. as
we are most reluctant TO believe, then there Is
no exaggeration in the statement that the nego-
tiations are almost deadlocked. If the Cana
dian demand be insisted upon, for almost we
may read absolutely" deadlocked.
The report is-this Is the astounding feature
of it-that the Canadians demand the inclusion
of the Porcupine country on their side of the
provisional boundary lire. 1t is mild speaking
TO describe such demand as preposterous.
The Porcupine country is entirely outside the
area of dispute. The Porcupne River is the
great northern tributary of the Yukon. entering
the latter stream at the Arctic Circle far north
of the Klondkc. in region where there has
never been the slightest dispute or uncertainty
as to the boundary. The line Of demarcation
there Is universally admitted 10 be the l4lst
meridian. For Canada to demand the unset
fling of that boundary, and the cession OF terri
tory west Of that meridian, is as inadmissible
as Il would be for her to demand the reOpening
of the Oregon boundary question or the cession
OF the northern counties OF New-York state.
South Of Mount st. Elias the boundary is In
dispute. and there may be some show OF rea-
son for the various conflicting claims that are
advanced But north of that great landmark
no such dispute exists, or can be admitted to
exist No demand for a reimbursement OF that
boundary is TO be regarded as tolerabe.
The American demand according 10 this
same report is that the provisional boundary
shall be drawn two miles north Of the village
Of Kluckwan. That would be far below the
boundary hitherto reasonably claimed by this
country 1t would he far within the ten marine
leagues from the coast line prescribed by the
Anglo-Russian treaty. and far below the water
shed. or crest Of the ridge parallel with the
coast similarly prescribed as the boundary
In brief 1t would be very considerable con
ccssion by this country. though one which, FOR
the sake OF settling a vexaiiOuS dispute. this
country could well afford to make. at least pro-
visionally But the Porcupine country-why
Canada might as well demand the reopenng
of the Treaty Of 1873 and the retroccsson OF
the Northwest Territory.

BROOKLYN WATER ANALYSIS.

What Is the mystery OF this Brooklyn water
analysisf Why !s it that the Brooklyn otcinls
give evasive answers TO simple questions? 1t IL
time for an explanation. The Juvenile death
rate Is more than double that Of Manhattan, and
row yelled hints are being thrown out from
headquarters that there IS really nothing actu-
ally wrong with the water but that after all IT
is not good After weeks Of refusal to face facts
the authorities seem at last 10 have a gllmmer
OF light on their responsibilities, yet they still
nave not the courage 10 deal frankly with the
situation, but make half hearted attempts at
warning Of real danger which they have for
days not merely sought to conceal from the pub
lie, but from themselves.
A significant light is thrown upon the Of
fetal methods Of dealing with the water
problem by an incident concerning reports
Of water analysis. When the danger Of n
water famine was first announced The Tribune
believed that the water was not up to the
proper standard of purity, but for some reason
which we will NOT now discuss the officials
lacked the courage TO say so and enforce pre-
cautions AS however, an unofficial warning
officially discredited would do more harm than
good we sought TO secure from the Brooklyn
authorities some statement Of the conclusions TO
