Even our ugly hanson automo'

people are willing to drink poor,
health-menacing coffee when the
best the world produces is easily
obtained.
When we speak of the best coffee,
we of course refer to the kind sold
by Chase & Sahborn. Their Seal
Brand Java and Mocha is famous
for its excellence, and their high
grade coffees which come packed in
parchment lined richly colored bags
are in great demand.
The greatest care in selection and
packing is exercised.
With coffee pure like this, more
enjoyment is experienced. No dan
ger to health need be feared.
These coffees produce that deep
port wine color before cream, and
golden after cream, so much desired
by coffee lovers.

A Big Trout Hatchery

Strongly Endorsed.

Augusta. January 3.-Ihe report OF the
Commissioners OF Inland Fisheries and
Game just filed with the governor is q
very Interesting document.
Twenty hearings were held by the COM
missionsrs upon request of citizens Of the
state for the erection Of nsh ways In
dams, and to regulate the times In which
and the oircum stances under which in
Land fish might ts taken in certain
streams, ponds and lakes.
Ten other petitions of like nature are
on file yet to bs acted upon.
The three hundred dollars appropriated
by the Legislature for that purpose has
been un,d to procure mounted specimens
of birds and wild animals of the state.
From the large number OF citizens who
come to the state house specially to see
these specimens there would ssem to be
no doubt that the people are In sympathy
with this movement.
The commissioners say they have oper-
at,d to their fullest capacity the fur fish
hatcherles and feeding stations; that
these have been more than ordinarily
s1ccsssful. Th,re was taken during the
fall of 1899, $40, 600 land locked salmon
eggs. I,OOO.o 600 trout eggs, and 5000
brown trout eggs, which are now In the
various hatcheries in the process Of being
hatcted.
g More people have come to Maine
during the past year to fish and to hunt
than evsr before in any one year, have
caught more fish, killed more game In
open season, except moose and caribou,
than ever before In single year.

fairly well with the constantly increasing &

AMERICAS PLEDGE KEPT
Troops Ordered Sent from China to
the Philippines.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The United
States government yesterday took the
first step towards the redemption of
its pledge made to the Russian gov
eminent August 2s last by cablegram
instructions to General Chaffee to re-
duce the American forces in China
to the proportions of legation
guard. Nearly n month ago the Rus.
sian government was told through
NJ. de Wollant, its charge here, that
II the Russian forces and ministry
were withdrawn from Picking, 1--WE
shall give instructions to the COM
mander of the American forces in
Chlna to withdraw our forces from
Peking, after due conference with the
other commanders as to the time and
manner of withdrawal
That time has now come. and yes
terday's action marks the beginning
OF the disappearance of the American
army from China, for although some
military forces are to remain, it will
not be of the character of an army,
but, under the conditions laid down
in the order to General Chaffee, and
especially under its official designa-
ton as Legation guard" will be

his small force will not be included
IN any military operations which may
be conducted by the allied armies and
SO will not fall subject to the direc-
ton of Field Marshal Count Won
Waldersee, the communicating chief.
1t is believed that the 1,4O0 men Sc
lected will be quite sufficient to pro-
tect the American legation against
any force that could be brought
against it. IT is estimated that about
a week will be required to bring
the 5000 soldiers away from Picking,
but as the start cannot be made i'm
mediately, it will be at least about
the end of the first week III October
before the movement can be COM

arbitration shall begin, so it is to be

will be content with and then go forth
as individuals to treat with their en-

ployes. The arbitrations being con-
cluded satisfactorily, if they will be,
the committees of employees will re-
port back to the convention of United
Mine Workers that they have come to
settlement and the strike will then
be declared off. This would avoid the
recognition of the union by the oper-
ators and at the same time permit
the union to regulate the terms Of
settlement.

1t is supposed the entire party has

The Twenty-ninth infantry was re

The craze for Kruger coins and
stamps has been Sc pronounced that a
complete set is not now to be had in
the regular market. A S1.25 piece is
rated at $3.50, and what is known as
an extraordinary" crown at $50. This
is because in 1892 the die makers gave
the bullockwagon shafts, instead of a
pole Tor disselboom.) All coins from
half-sovereigns downward were so
struck, and got into circulation before
the error was discovered. Any one OF
these coins fetches more than IS.
There is likely, by the way, to be a
slump in the rating of Transvaal
postage stamps, for a Pretoria official
says that he has overprinted stamps to
the value of 81, 100000.
