The Supreme .yusiiceshIp.

The Bangor Meas this morning
printed an item TO the effect that the
Hancock county bar had unani-
mously given its endorsement to Hon.
Joseph B. Peakes, of Piscataquis
county, as candidate for justice of
the Maine supreme court. The item
is misleading and untrue. AS a mat
ter of fact the Hancock county bar as
bar has given its endorsement to no
particular candidate. Meetings of
the bar were held and the matter dis
cussed, but it was finally left to the
individual members of the bar to ex-
press their preference if they so
pleased.
A number of the lawyers have written
personal letters endorsing Mr.. Peakes,
and it is fair to say that probably a
majority Of the lawyers in this coun-
ty favor his appointment, but it is
not fair to say that he has the unan-
ir1ous endorsement of the bar, either
as bar or as individuals, for at least
one Ellsworth attorney has given his
endorsement to Mr.. Peabody.

What Does This Mean?

'wHAT CONSTITUTES A JUDGE:"
Maine desires no political consideration for
one mans ambition to construct the supreme
court. Some people feel that Gov Powers
wishes Mr.. Boutelle's place in Congress. His
appointment of supreme Judge will be investi
gated by an interested public to see how it
dovetails with his cong resssonal pros pects.-
Bangor Neps.
The whole meaning of the above
editorial paragraph from the Bangor
Nelns of this morning is obscure, but
that it is direct slap at Governor
Powers is but ill concealed. That
such an attack is unwarranted,
no man who has followed closely
Llewellyn Powers acts as governor,
will deny. His administration of
State affairs has been universally able,
conscientious and unselfish. The in
timation that he will use his executive
power to further his own political as
pirations, whatever they may be, is
not borne out by his record as gov
ernor, and is manifestly unjust.

Mckinley times" were in evidence
along the Ellsworth wharves last
week, when Whitcomb, Haynes & Co.
and c. J. Treworgy, the Ellsworth
stave manufacturers, were hurrying
slaves on board vessels for the last
trip of the season. A month or two
ago Ellsworth vessels were waiting
for cargoes. The stave manufac-
turers reported mo orders. Three
days before the election the orders
began to come in, with the explana-
ton that they had been held back be-
cause of the doubt OF the result of the
election. At that time in New York
state confidence that Mckinley would
be re- elected was SO great tina. it was
decided to forward the orders. Since
then the orders have poured in, and
now it looks as if it will be impossible
to fill them all before winter has
placed an embargo on the port. And
yet it is a safe wager that you can
find captains of some of these same
vessels which were idle a month or
more this season, who would vote for
Bryan to day if they had the oppor-
tunity. Verify, great is the peIver-
sity of human nature.

Among items of the proposed game
law legislation during the approach
ing session is the repeal of the Sep
TENDER license law for killing deer for
food purposes. In operation the law
has been found Objectionable in many
ways, and guides and sportsmen are
almost unit in urging its repeal.
The law opened the door for the
slaughter of deer when they are al
most as easily approached as cattle.
Last fall many destructive forest fires
were caused by September hunters.

Hon. Joseph H. Manley, for twenty
years a member of the republican
State committee from Kennebec
county, and for sixteen years chair
man of the committee, yesterday sent
in his resignation. The resignation
was a disagreeable surprise to the re-
publicans of Maine. Mr.. Manley has
been an energetic and effective work.
er, his efficiency being recognized by
the national committee as shown by
the important work assigned to him
in New York city in the campaign
just closed. Though his resignation
comes as surprise, it is hardly to be
wondered that with his other large
private and political interests he
should ask to be relieved of some of
the responsibilities here at home.
Another vacancy is caused in the State
mittee by the death of Charles H.
Drummey, of Ellsworth.

Kindne.. Of Two Queens.

A lady who is now very old spent some
days 90 years ago with Lady Morgan.
the brilliant Irish novelist, and heard
from her lips little anecdote of Queen
Victoria. The young queen, who had
just assembled the throne. was at a ball
given by the Duchess of Gloucester, says
& writer in Youths Companion.
When her uncle. the Duke OF Sussex.
was leaving the room, she ran after him,
saying aloud. xviii you not give me a
kiss before you gor' and then whispered
In his ear. You have forgotten to wish
mamma good night"
A royal reproof was perhaps never so
exquisitely given. and it is pleasant TO
fancy that some of Victoria's kindliness
came by direct descent from that grand
mother, Queen Charlotte. who shared the
throne with George III during the Amer
lean Revolution.
When the Duchess of Portland died.
her devoted friend, Mrs. Delary. was
at her bedside. and before she left the
duke begged her to choose some remem-
brance of his mother. Mrs. Delany Sc
lected bird that the duchess had espe-
cially valued The shock of her bereave
meut resulted in n short Illness for the
old lady, and during that illness the bird
died. Queen Charlotte had one of the
same sort which she loved extremely.
With her own hands she brought it while
Mrs. Delany slept and put it into the
empty cage. with orders that no Mint
should be dropped Of the exchange.
Lady Morgan. after telling the story
Of Victoria. commented:
What pity to make so generous q
creature q queen"

Now after all this worry and fuss
and speculation on the assumption
that Maine was to lose one congress-
man, it appears that we may not lose
one of our representative after all.
The Bangor Neaos quotes Congress
man Burleigh. who was a member of
the census committee, as saying that
the change will not be made, and
that Maine will continue to have in
the House four members as formerly.
How this deal has been brought about
is not known, but it may be in view of
the general dissatisfaction over the
result Of the census returns in the
State. There is general feeling that
Maine did not get nearly all that was
due her, and that she should still hold
her place in Congress.

a year-and every dollar of that means
many dollars saved to the nation, be-
sides the added employment of skilled
labor and the added security which
comes from possessing our own ships
and our own sailors. II the defeated
and publicly condemned United States
senators of Nebraska and of South
Dakota choose to defeat this great
public demand by fighting it at the
short session of Congress, they will
simply postpone for one year the sub
stitution of the American for the
British flag on the sea as the carrier
of American commerce. 1t is a big
responsibility for two men to assume,
but in certain roles they are wonder
fully capable.

Allen and Pettigrew now shouts for
the Frye shipping bill, says the Lew
iston Journal. Hanna places it as the
first national necessity and the people
who voted November seem to feel
the same way. The foreign ship
builders of course deplore the pros
poet. And why not? This alien mo-
nopoly of our ocean carrying is now
costing us in money paid to foreign
ship owners from $3.50, 200, 900 to $780,
600, 900 year, or very nearly the en-
tire proceeds of our protective tariff.
A proud, shrewd, resourceful people
will not long submit to such an enor-
nous drain upon their naticnalwealth.
The maximum cost of the Frye bill in
its subsidy disbursements is $4,000, 900

Chinese Woman. Toilet Table.

The Chinese woman's toilet table pre-
sents many of the usual attributes Of the
toilet we are accustomed to in the west
ern world. A Chinese belle on special
occasions will entirely bedaub her face
with white paint, adding rouge to the lips
and cheeks in such profusion that she
looks more like painted mask than any
thing human. Her eyebrows are black
ened with charred sticks and arched or
narrowed in accordance with her idea
of beauty. The type of beauty in a wo-
man most admired by the Chinaman is
thus described in the language of the
Flowery Land: She has cheeks like the
almond flower, lips like peach's bloom,
waist as a willow leaf. eyes bright as
dancing ripples in the sun and footsteps
like the lotus flower" in spite of his
cruelty and ignorance. the Chinaman has
many beautiful and poetic ideas.

sport fit for kings, to be sure, but it is
