John p. Squire Co. Assigns.

The John +. squire d CO. corporation
and allied companies engaged in the
meat and provision and meal packing
business in Boston, assigned Friday TO
Lawyer Herman W. Chaplin Of 50 state
street. The liabilities are estimated At
50 900 900 and the assets at -. 900 600.
the latter including a recent appraisal #
The plant at East Cambridge aud somer-
Vile at 81 600 600
The company was incorporated in ls9G
and has paid up capital Of s. 900 900
stock being largely held Ia the squire
family.
The business will be carried on with
out any change by Mr.. Chaplin as a..
signee. A meeting of the creditors will
be called and Mr.. Chaplin is of the Opt
ion that all will agree to some plan that
will allow the business TO continue with
out interruption.
The creditors are banks for the most
part, the Globe National bank of Boston
being one of the heaviest. Other Boston
banks are involved to some extent but
the indebtedness is largely outside of
Boston, divided for the most part among
hanks il New England in which the
Squire company has branch stores. The
estate of the late John Z. Squire IS not
involved in any way in the assignment.

The Rineo House Sold.

There was contaminated in Boston,
last week, an important deal when a
controlling interest in the MI. Kinco
House and property WAS bought by
Messrs. II. G. Hunt of Greenvile, Will
liam M. Shaw of Grcenville, and Charles
A Judkins. The new management i'm
medately named Mr.. Judkins as mana.
ger of the company.
Two recent events are Immediately
responsible for this change in the man
agement of one of Names most famous
resorts-the determination ON the part
of Mr. Dennen to retire from the active
management of the extension property
on account of i'll health, and the tragic
death of Mr.. John II. Eveleth at Green
vile. Indeed, Mr.. Judkins for several
years now has been the active head OF
the hotel, as assistant manager, aud his
ability has greatly lightened the respon.
siblites of Mr.. Dennen.
II Is pleasant to add that while Mr.
Dennen lays down the lines of active
management, he will not leave Kineo
which has been his home for so many
years. Nearly half century ago, from
the doorway of log cabin, on the site
of the present hotel, he welcomed Wis
itors to Names inland sea, and on kineo
Point it is hoped for years to come he
may continue to extend a hospitality
that can never grow cold.

The Presidents Policy.

Recent revelations show conclusivey
that President Mckinley's Philippine
policy is overwhelmingly sustained In
the Senate.
1t is apparent that Republicans are in
line with the President and will support
his policy with all harmony. Only one
Republican, Senator Hoar of Massachu-
sets, voted with the Democrats against
tabing the Pettigrew resolution, aimed
at the administration while three Dem.
ocrats, Lindsay of Kentucky, McEnery
of Louisiana, and MeLaurin of Mississippi
voted with the Republicans. Several of
the Democratic absentees would also
have voted with the Republicans had
they have been present. One of the
Republican absentees was Hale of Maine
whose conservatism on the expansion
question has aroused some doubt as to
what his attitude would be in the Senate
On this point the we'll informed special
correspondent of the Boston Herald
says: "Senator Hale was absent, but as
he suggested to Mr.. Chandler to move
to table the resolution, there is no doubt
that he would have voted for the
notion"
AS matter of fact Senator Hale in a
recent Republican caucus, took occasion
to explain his position on the Philippine
question in way which was satisfactory
to his colleagues. He said he had not
changed his opinion as to the question
in the abstract, but that he recognized
that the United States had assumed SOY.
ereignty over the Philippines, must
now go on to restore order and peace
aud provide the islands with good gov
eminent. He accepted place on Sena-
tor Lodges committee on the Philippines
with that understanding.

There is a good deal of interest being
manifested now in the organization late
ly formed in Boston among unmarried
working women to prevent the competi.
ton of married women who are partially
provided for. They include workers in
restaurants, department stores and facto.
ries, and their methods are to secure the
promise of employers that they will EN-.
ploy none but unmarried women, with
such exceptions rs may be offered in
favor of women who have lost their hus-
bands or are otherwise needy. Several
employers are reported to have told the
leaders in this movement that their
claims were just, aud have, therefore,
offered to support their cause. Mrs. E.
j. Ames, factory inspector for the com.
monwealth, said: "As factory in
spector | have specially observed the
married women. An action of woman
against woman would be the bitterest
thing in the world Rather let women
do as men have done for their protection
in industrial life. Let them form trades
unions"

The house belonging to John Warren
in Smithfeld was destroyed by fire
Friday afternoon, Mr.. and Mrs. Warren
being away from home at the time.
Their son came home from school, built
a fire in the stove and left it for a short
time. 1t is supposed the fire caught by
some wood that was around the stove.
Nothing was saved and there was no
insurance. 1t is very hard for Mr..
Warren as he has a large family of
children. A paper has been started to
help the unfortunate family.

for so large Democratic support. Eleven

About 10 o'clock last Wednesday
night, it was discovered that the kind
lingwood factory at South Gardiner was
on fire. The fire department was called
out but could not get control of it and
assistance was called from Gardiner.
Steamer Cobbossee and two hose teams
were sent from there. About O'Clock
they had the fire under control. The
plant is a total loss. About 40 hands
were employed. The man office is in
New York, it is doubtful if it will be re.
built. Loss about $40, 600 Amount of
insurance cannot be learned as it is
placed in New York.

The shortest day of the year is nine
hours and four minutes. There are five
days OF that length, beginning on Tues
day, Dec. 10. On Sunday, the oath, the
day is one minute longer, and increases
a minute each two or three days after
that. Although winter does not really
seem to begin until after Christmas, and
"the cold begins to strengthen as the
days begin to lengthen," the fact that
the days are growing longer is rather
encouraging.

Many years have elapsed since Christ
mas has found so many sad and sore
hearts as it this year finds in one of the
leading counties Of Christendom, the
British empire. We have been in the
habit of saying "Merry England but
the term is far from appropriate this
year of grace, 1899. Terrible, brutal
war has spread its black pail with its
dead, dying, wounded aud captured over
the army in South Africa, and there are
mourners in thousands of homes, of rich
and poor, of high and low. No class of
people are exempt from keen sorrow at
wars desolation and distress. Thus is
the usual season of joy and rejoicing
turned into sorrow by relentless war
While it cannot effect US, personally, we
cannot help remembering the condition of
the people CT England and the Tran svaal
and the Orange Free States in this time
of their desoation. Neither can we lose
sight of the sorrow in our own land,
caused by war 10 the far off islands of the
Pacific, the Philippines. The suffering
there among our own people and the ma
tives OF that country is overshadowed for
the time being, by the greater number of
casualties in Africa, but il is not incon-
siderable. 1t takes but little in the way
of war to cause a large amount of sufftr-
ing and anguish in any part of the
world.
