TWO FAMOUS RESORTS.
An Outing Hint from Outing"


Fast, safe, superbly equipped and
most carefully governed, one need not
wonder at the great popularity of the
New York Central. No other line af-
fords such facilities for through travel
between the East and the West as this
wonderful four-track system In the
possession of Grand Central Station,
located in the heart of New York City,
and within trifing distances Of all
first-class hotels, this railway offers
greater advantages than competing
lines. Spring, summer, autumn and
winter, it has attractions irresistible.
The great Northern Wilderness, the
playground of the State, now beckons
its thousands. AS autumn falls, Amer
ica's scenic masterpiece, far-famed
Niagara, will claim its annual host Of
pilgrims with its majestic power, the
fierce turmoil of the Whirlpool and all
of the picturesque surroundings, the
awesome Cave of the Winds and the
several other minor attractions of the
vicinity. And when winter comes,
then the entire scene transformed to
what seems a fairyland of marvellous
frost dressings, of icy forts and snowy
palaces; Of cleaning, crystal prison
barriers yainIy striving to bind the
roaring, foaming plunge Of water-w1n
present a spectacle Of weird, mys-
terious beauty which is not duplicated
in the World.-Outing.

This is the secret of the whole decis-

Governor Pingree thus spoke en-
phatically concerning the forces he
alleges worked behind the scenes in
the now celebrated Mcleod decision.
He asserted the result of the deli ber-
atoms of the supreme court judges
was brought about not by an impair

the case, but entirely by political
prejudice and by a personal fear of
dominant members of the bench that
their pet corporations, the rail-
roads," might be threatened if they
should hand down verdict in favor
of Mr.. Pingree's favorite 1egisla:i on
municipal ownership of street rail-
roads.
They are simply scared that 1

POLES OPPOSE ALLIANCE.
Meet In Chicago and Declare Against
Any Deal With Great Britain

Meet In Chicago and Declare Against
Any Deal With Great Britain
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Polish resi-
last night, denounced the Anglo
American alliance.
In opposition to the promoters of
the meeting and in favor of the Anglo
American alliance, John NJ Sienkie-
wicz made bitter speech, in which
he pleaded with those present to
stand by America and Poland first,
before protesting against alliances
with the English people, who have
always been in sympathy with Po-
land and her cause. He said that
though the Poles as a liberty-loving
people will always stand ready
to help the Irish people. yet he
claimed that they must first stand by
Poland and her cause, which, in
way, would be furthered by indorsing
and favoring Americas alliance with
England. He urged that the reason
for the alliance was the near struggle
of England with Russia. in which
event the Poles would have a chance
for liberty, for England and America
joined together would annihilate the
Russian power. The Irish people
would, in that event, side with Rus
STA, Poland's enemy, because Russia's
victory over England would mean
freedom to Ireland. The result of his
speech was that when the resolutions
were offered opposing the alliance of
America with England, those present
were about equally divided on the
vote.
Mass meetings for and against the
alliance will be organized all over the
city among the Poles. and resolutions
Of protest AMI Endorsement will be
sent to Washington by the Poles.
