Bicycles as Baggage.

There has been a test case in the Eng
lish courts on question which is agitat-
ing cyclists all aroundithe world, more or
less. 1t was brought in the Queens bench
division against the Great Northern rail-
way company ION behalf of one Britten",
seeking "to recover sixpence paid for the
conveyance of bicycle from Kings Cross
to East Finchley''. And after hearing
and argument the court decided that the
plaintiff could not recover for the reason
that "a bicycle cannot be ordinary luggage
within the definition.
The special interest attaching to this
case is found in the fact that the attorney
for the plaintiff made his argument on
the very lines on which similar claims are
based in this country He claimed that a
bicycle came clearly within the definition
of personal luggage" for the reason that
it was carried by the traveller for his own
per, onal convenience and use in connec-
ton with his journey, and was an article
such as was ordinarily carried for that
purpose.
But his lordship, in rendering his de-
cision, brushed away all such considera-
tions by declaring that 1.-The idea of lug
gage" must control; and as luggage i'm
plies something that is packed, not
taken ''loose, like a bicycle, the wheel
man lost his case.-Boston Post.

Correspondence.
Senator Hale.

| NORTH PENoBsCoT, Dec. %, 1898.
To the Editor Of The american:
see it suggested in some papers that
there is likely to be opposition to Senator
Hale's election. l do not believe there
will be any, first, because there is no
good, sound reason why there should be !;
second, because there are many strong
reasons why there should not be.
believe he is stronger to- day with the
thinking men OF both parties than at any
previous time in his public career. His
position in regard to the war has never
been generally condemned by his party
organs OF the State; on the other hand,
have seen his craftsmanship highly COM
mended by leading democrats and indie
! pendent papers The man who stands
out boldly and opposes the plunging of
this nation into bloody, desolating war,
except as the only effective means to de-
fend the rights and liberties of our peo-
pie, has my hearty admiration, II in all
respects he does not fully concur with my
views.
do not believe there is anything in
herent in the constitution or functions
OF our government that gives authority
to few men in Washington to convert
this nation into a great humanitarian
organization, and sacrifice its men and
money for the benefit of the world. 1t is
a dangerous departure from the organic
purposes OF our government, and ought
to have behind it at least the majority
sentiment OF the people OF the United
tot dtfIx nv hov
whom this masterpiece Of governmental
machinery was put in motion.
There was no great war craze in the
State OF Maine; our representatives and
senators very well represented the
sentiments OF the people OF Maine in
regard to the new war issue. There was
significant silence all along the line in
peace loving, we'll baIlasted character OF
our people. Senators Frye and Hale
represented the two extremes. That
Senator Hale had the calm, cool, courage
GUS craftsmanship to stand out amid the
fury of the popular war passion that was
surging like a rising tide around our
national capital, and declare the grounds
OF his opposition and point to the dangers
and responsibilities involved, marks him
more than ever patriot and statesman,
the like of whom in Congress are so rare
that the loss OF one such man would tie
almost irrepara bic.
| believe day that Senator Hale rep
resented the public sentiment OF Maine
when he approved the war measure in
Congress; at least he spoke his own cool
and mature judgment unswerved by the
fiery fingers OF sentiment and passion.
Those are the men whom the State of
Maine wants to represent her in great
crises-men who have the brains TO think
for themselves, and the courage to fight
popular tendencies, if they believe them
to be wrong tendencies.
There never was time that more
urgently demanded at our nations capital
the best brain Of the nation, the largest
knowledge of public affairs and the most
stalwart independence of character to
steer this nation through the breakers
ahead, than at present.
The fact that there is no man in sight
who can fill Senator Hsle's place at this
time is the most conspicuous reason why
he should be lis own successor.

Castine's public library, the Oldest
ceiving attention from the State press OF
late. The following brief history Of the
library Is printed:
ain lsol the people of Castine lamenting that
the rich purchase almost everything but books
and that the reading has become unfashion-
abe an amusement formed a social library
to excite foDGness for books, to afford the
most rational and profitable anu -ement, to pre-
vent idleness and immortality anu to promote
the diffusion of useful knowledge, piety and
virtue" This WAS one of the earliest libraries
formed in the state, having been organized
nineteen years before the State had an in
dependent government The association began
with tnirty-fve shareholders, and fund
of Sl15. 1t is an unverifed report that the
shares were transferred to the town : early as
lS2,. In 1855 the town voted ITO raise a sum
equal to Sl0o on each poll assessed the last
year, one half to he collected the present year,
and one half the next year, to be expended in
establishing public library" II WAS also
voted: That a committee OF five persons be
appointed by The moderator. to make the rules
and regulations for gov erning said library" A
bookcase was purchased the year.
Whether some of the citizens had again become
FESTIVE because they had no library, or whether
anyone from this town, which at that time was
at The height of prosperity, lad anything to do
in enacting the first town library law of the
state the year previous, Is not known. How
ever this may be, these aforementioned votes
taken at the first town meeting after the law
was passed, resulted in establishing the first
town library supported by public taxation in
the State, and one of the earliest in the country
Perhaps $500 was realized from this first libra.

about 2.2lO volumes.
