Another effort is to be made to establish
a stable government for Samoa, the
tripartits agreement which has b,en in
force since the Berlin treaty having failed
tc accomplish that object The islands
have always been coveted by the Germans,
and it is not at all improbable that the
Vaccinations of II arr Rose, the German
consul att Apia, were inspired by the
hope that in some way they might be in
strumental in getting the island into the
exclusive control of his government. but
his zeal was not in accord with discretion
and the probability is that one result of
his operations will he his removal, and
t, formation of a new agreement which
will, even II it does not diminish German
influence in the island, not increase
it. Germany shows no inclination to
back HIM up, and probably she will be
compelled to disavow his acts and recall
him. The Samoan islands are very
small thing for three great nations to
quarrel about, but the amount of contro-
versy is not always determined by the
Importance of the subject over which 1t
arises. There is, however, little prospect
of any serious trouble in this case. The
three powers will undoubtedly be able to
patch up some new agreement. The
chief question is whether the new agree
ment will work any better than the old
Dne in establishing permanent govern
nsnt in the island which the natives will
accept and abide by.

The soldiers of the First Maine
Heavy ARTILLERY who have arrived home

They are In strong contrast to the sick

when they returned from Chickamauga.
Yet the artillery have been i'm Cuba,
where conditions of climate are undoubt.
e1ly far worse than In Tennessee. The
explanation of tie difference Is undoubt-
edly found In statement made by Major
Il. L. Newcomb "Wbile in Cuba" he
says, I'VE were camped in good positions
as rule. Yet there wns everywhere
malaria in the ground. You could see 1t
in the morning as 1t rose. When we first
arrived, l set about to procure boards
for floors of the tents. I soon secured
enough for my battalion, and thus had
more flooring than any five whole regi-
ments in the island This kept the men
off the ground, as built the floors very
high from 1t. 1 regard this as one of the
reasons why there was no more sickness
in my command
This is the good care which should be
given soldiers. 1t was not given at
Chickamauga. largely perhaps for lack
Of materials, but also for lack of expert
ence.

Mr.. Charles W. Weymouth is conduc-
tor of the elevator at the State House
during the legislative sessions. Before
he departed to his home this spring the
kind hearted young ladies of the state
House, to compensate him for his aiduous
experiences with the ups and downs OF
public men, and also to show their good
will, presented to him purse of money.
The poem of presentation was written by
Miss Eva Shorey of Bridgton. One Of the
verses, although evidently written to
apply to employees of the State govern
ment, embodies the sighs OF many genera
tions of statesmen:
For there's something about the olu Stat )
House,
Beside the few dollars we earn,
That makes us. tho far distant from it,
With fond reoollections to turn.

Lewiston is much disturbed over her
water supply. At a recent board of trade
meeting one of her leading ciuizens, Col

THE senate is the balance wheel Of
the government and the body where
debate is not limited and speech is free
and unlimited, that wise and just con-
illusions may be reached. In this body
has been settled the national policy Of
government and all constitutional
questions" The senator concluded by
saying that the standard Of integrity
would be maintained until government
shall be no more.
Chief Justice Potter next responded
briefly and in an interesting way OF
the toast THE Judiciary" and told an
interesting story which Senator Clark
had loaned him, concerning the num-
Der OF judges in Wyoming and colonies
in Kentucky.
Judge Bramel made an extended talk
on the trials courts OF Wyoming and re-
cited many of tine trials and ex-
%periences OF a district judge.
The next toast, 1.-THE University Of
Wyoming was very eloquently and
ably responded to by President Smiley,
who spoke concerning the great and
everlasting faith of the people in
founding educational institutions. the
spirit OF generosity and enterprise OF
the west and gave a detailed descrip-
ton Of the founding OF Harvard col
lege in 1888. Touching upon the UNI
versity Of Wyoming. he recited ths
history OF its foundation and construc
ton not may years ago and the prog
ress made, the needs OF the institution
and referred to the fact that he was
anxious that all should appreciate tts
opportunities, should take an interest
in it and he mentioned the 10 d e
partments just added and referred to
the patriotism OF the cadets in the late
war and was heartily a~pplauded at this
point. Concerning the policy OF con-
solidation Of state institutions, DR..
Smiley made an eloquent and able ap-
peal to the members of the Legislature
in favor OF that plan and pointed out
the history OF the institutions in other
states like Michigan, Minnesota, I'LL
nois and Nebraska and said that he be-
lieved a serious mistakewould be made
II they followed the other plan Of hav-
ing separate institutions. Dr.. Smiley's
remarks we're straightforward and to
the point and were listened to with
the closest attention by the members
OF the legislature and others and HE
remarks were heartily applauded.
The toastmaster then announced thaA
owing to the latene@ Of the hour and
the arrival OF the train, that he would
ask the other speakers to limit theds
remarks to short taiks.

My baby. Eva Pearl, was always a
very delicate child until nearly two
years OF age, when l began giving her
Postum Cereal Food Coffee to drink,
and she began to gain in health and
flesh right away. / know ITO a certain
ty that the improvement was due to
the Postum, for many meals she would
not touch a mouthful except Postum
Cereal. Now she rs over four years
old, and is a rollicking, healthy little
girl. We consider she was saved by
Postum, and you a imagine how we
feel towards the splendid food coffee
and those who make 1t.
Last winter my little son, Asa Pierce
Hindley. was sick and confined to his
bed for thirteen weeks. As Dor as he
was able DO eat at all. he began to drink
Postum, and just about lived on 1t Tor
several weeks, his stomach being too
weak to admit any solid food. But the
Postum gave him strength to ecover.
My father, who was for many years
a practicing physician here, has pre-
scribed Postum IN MANY, many cases.
l hope Nhis Ietter will help others who
have bsen, or are nov. suffering frum
the uneuspected o~d-fashtoned coffee."
