WOODEN MILLS
Following the Example Of
the Cotton Mills.
Notices Of Increase Posted at North
VassaIboro and Skowhegan.

10 Be Started.

Waterville. Me. Dec. S.-(SpeciaD.-
on top of the news that the wages of
the cotton mill operatives all over the
State are TO be advanced comes the
Of the wooden mills are to be advanced
10 per cent. January l. 1900.
Just what mills this will affect is not
definitely stated. but it is given out,
however. that it is probable that the
wages of all the operatives employed
in plants belonging to the American
Wooden Co. will be advanced
one of the first notices of an advance
comes from the mills located in NORTH
Nassalboro. Those notices We're post =
ed today. and will affect something
like 300 operatives. The advance will
90 into effect. Jan. l.
In addition the news comes from
SkoWhegan that there will be an ad-
vance in the Coburn Wooden mills there
and that the advance will be 10 per
cent. the same as in the other mills.
No notices have been posted yet in
these mills. and it is said it is not prob
able that the notices will be posted.
The advance will take place just the
same.
When asked if the advance would
probably take effect in the Cascade
Wooden mills, Superintendent George
+. Winnegar said that he could not
tell. He had not lately had CORE
spondence with the owners Of the
plant. He could give no opinion either
one way or the other.
For Fairfield the good news
comes that the proba bility which
amounts to a certainty almost. is that
the wooden mill there will be started
in very short time. For some time
the men have been at work hauling
looms from the mills at North Nassal-
boro to the Fairfield mills. The work
of the mill heretofore has been that of
spinning and cardinc. Through the
new looms that are to be placed in the
mills the weaving will be done at thu
plant. This of course means that the
mill will be practically independent
Of the other mills in regard to manu-
facturers
II has been stated that the move
means that the mills in North Nassal-
horO are to be closed. That rumOr. it
is said by those who are in a position
to know, is false. The looms that are
to be moved to Fairfield are looms of
an older pattern and are to be replaced.
Whether the mills in Madison. Pitts
field. and other places in the State. are
to be affected by the rise in wages is
a question. 1t is said that all the mills
belonging to the American Wooden co.
are to he advanced the same as those
in this immediate locality.

London. Dec. 9.-Some interesting
light on the position of the affairs
along the western frontier is thrown

tween Gras Pan and Honey Nest Kloof.
If this Berlin dispatch be correct

Watermelon PRAYER Meeting.

New York Evening Sun: The pas
tor of negro church in New jersey
has hit upon an ingenious scheme for
attracting large congregations for
his weekly prayer meetings. Be-
tween the prayers and the sermon
slices of luscious watermelon OF the
appropriate hue and flavor were
passed around among the brethren
and sisters. The innovation was an
immediate success of overwhelming
proportions. Such prayer meetings
as his church now holds have never
before been know in New Jersey. II
is, however, an experiment beset
with dangers, not to the congrega-
tion, but to the pastor. 1t is too
much to expect that his flock will be
content with watermelon. It is in
evitable that they will demand fried
chicken, and some ice cream. What
will the pastor do then TO appease
the cravings of his peoplel

Anti.Imperialism South.

A writer from Staunton, Va, in
the n. Y. Post says;
If the people of the North and
West have been led by Gen. Whoeler's 5
"stand by the administration"
speeches into the belief that he rep
resents the South. either on expan'
sion or the unreasoning war now be-
ing made in the Philippines, they
have been led sstray. The Republi
can party will not carry a single con
gressional district in the South next
year on that issue. The South has
had a practical, and to the most
thoughtful men convincing, ex'
perience in being governed at long
range. Thirty years ago the South
saw what mistakes may be msde by
well-meaning men, and what the
temptations of distance and com
plicated responsibility may change
those men into. When the Southern
people recall the lamentable errors
committed by the national govern
ment in the work of reconstructlng
the governments of eight millions OF
nglish-speakipg white people, en-
dowed with AnglO-Ssxon patience
and common sense, they look for
ward with unaffected anxiety to
similar experiment made with race
OF entirely different character and
under far less favorable conditions.
One does not have to go far for
incidents to illustrate the feeling on
the subject in the South, for the most
popular man cannot give the ap'
pearance of favoring it and escape
criticism. There is not more popu-
lar man in Virginia today than John
W. Daniel, her senior Senator. Two
months ago be delivered an address
at the commencement exercises OF the
University of Virginia, his theme
being 1.-The Conquering Nation" 10
it he took the ground that the war In
the Philippines, now thstit had been
begun, should be prosecuted to the
crushing out of the rebellion" That
was all; but it has given a chill to
his popularity, and is bearing fruit
in the recalling of the fact that the
President has appointed some of Mr.
Daniels relatives to army positions,
and that in the congressional cam,
paipn in this state last year Daniel
made only one or two speeches, and
in them handled the President very
gently. However unjust these criti'
cisms may be, they show clearly that
in the South the most populsr man,
as in Mr.. Daniels case, cannot ven
ture on a support, however indirect,
of McKipley's policy of expansion
and subiugstion, and escape censure.

Disease in Porte Rico.

Surgeon General Sternberg has
received the report Of Major John
HOff, chief surgeon OF the military
department of Porto Rico, giving a
complete survey Of the conditions
throughout the island from the stand
point of a physician and an officer.
"The question of what will be the
military policy Of our Government

sis interesting to consider, tor upon
it will depend numerous sanitary
questions relative to the troops.
Presumably the permanent garrison
will not exceed two batteries OF ar
tlllery, a regiment, mounted or foot,
and battalion of native troops, with
staff troops, etc, making a total
strength of about 2, 900.
