dealer for it, or call at the mill.

Sale of School Lands.


An interesting sale of state land
was held yesterday morning at the
court house by c. e. Arney, chief
clerk and selling agent of the state
land board. The attendance was
small but in one or two instances
there was spirited bidding. Some
OF the land offered is ON the bluff
opposite this city, a great deal of
it being under the New York
canal as surveyed. Some of it
sold for as high as $3.50 an acre.
The total number of acres sold
was 495, the auction price being
s9254, which was only $3.50 more
than the appraised value. The
average price was $18.67A per acre,
the average appraised value being
e17.55 and q fraction.

The situation In China shows no signs
OF Improvement. Ths Boxers arr stiil

the efforts Of the government 10 suppress
them are 10 tender as to suggest that
they ere n msre ''biuff," and that ut

thy with the rioters. Thsre are manifesta-
tons also among the powers Of the same
jealousies ana the same suspicious OF one
another's good faith which pHra1yzed
their efforts 10 stop the massacres In
Armenia. The position Of Russia I'm this
case is very similar to her position In
the case Of Armenian troubles. She has
the troops close at hand now as she did
then, and Is ready to use them as she was
then, but the other powers, especially
Japan, fear that she viii not stop when
order Is restored, but that she wiz de-
mand big pay In the shape Of Chinese
territory when the work Is performed.
While of course Russia will take all she
can get peacefully, 1t is not probable that
, at the present time she will undertake
to defy the powers and force her way into
China against their protests and their
opposition. The time Is not yet ripe for
a further movement into the Chinese
empire ON her part, and Russia never does
anything ahead Of time II she can help
1t. Patience Is one Of her most conspicu-
Gus virtues. She never rsishes into any
thing prematurely. When her railroad
across siberia is completed she may be
ready to make move into China, but
T, Just now 1t Is highly improbable that she
will do anything that Is not approved
by the powers. Nor Is 1t probable. rs has
been suggested In some quarters. that
Russia has fomented the Chinese trouble
to ret an excuse for marching her troops

practices, but she Is quite incapable OF
them before she Is ready to take advsn-
| tage of them, and In this case, as we have
| pointed out, she Is not ready now. In all
probability Russia's interests In this
case are precisely the same, no greater
and no less, than those OF the other
powers. She wants order restored, las they
want 1t. She wants the Boxers suppress
ed, because this is necessary to restore or
der. At this moment she probably has no
more designs upon the Flowery King
dom than they. II there Is break up she
will undoubtedly insist on getting her
share, but that she Is specially anxious
for break up at this time and Is plot
ting to bring 1t about Is not likely, for
the reason that she Is not now In 80

1 misfortune OF Russta-a misfortune for
which she is responsible-to be always
distrusted and suspected Of Interior de-
signs, but In this case we doubt II her In
i terests are other than identical with
| those of the other powers, or that she
will be found disagreeing with or Mt
tempting to thwart any policy which they
may decide upon.

The last legislature appropriated q sum
which was thought to be sufficient for the
completion of the Eastern Hospital for
the Insane at Bangor, but owing to the
rise in material It has been found to be
inadequate. If work is stopped until the
legislature can make an additional APP
preparation the hospital cannot be CON-
pleted for year. This will inflict much
suffering, for the hospital at Augusta Is
overcrowded and ON this account the care
cannot be given the patients that is
needed. In view of this fact the trustees
have concluded to assume that the leg
islature will make the necessary appro-
priation-an assumption which is perfect
ly safe under the circumstances-and in
stead Of waiting for 1t to do 50 DO avoid
the year delay which that would involve
by borrowing the money and going on with
the work. This decision is praiseworthy
and will meet with general approval, when
the circumstances of the case are fully
understood. There has been some criti-
cism of 1t, but 1t has been founded upon
an imperfect knowledge Of the facts In

The IA, Trusts Plant In Dresden
Burned Down.

Gardiner, June 9.-The ice houses To-
Gated on a small farm in Dresden and
owned by the American Ice company
caught fire this afternoon and were totally
destroyed. The buildings hal capacity
Of IS QUO tons and contained 10000 tons of
ice which was harvested the past winter.
A vessel was being loaded at the time
and owing to the long length OF run over
which the ioe hss to pass from the houses
to the vessel, 1t Is necessary to operate
an endless conveying chain which Is run
by the engine used for harvesting In win
ter. Sparks from the smokestack, which
1t is claimed had no netting over 1t, fell
upon the roof and caused the fire. The
Ice was valued at $40, 900 and the build
ings, which consisted OF Ice houses I,
boarding house, engine house and black
smith shop were valued at $.5,0O. These
ice houses were built In 1876 by the Ken
nebec Mutual Ice company of this city
and later sold to the Knickerbocker Toe
company OF Philadelphia which in the
sos erected additional buildings. These
with the other Knickerbocker property
were merged into the Knickerbocker of
Maine, and later into the American Ice
company. 1t is thought there Is no insur-
anoe carried ON the plant.

Mr. Tristan Goldthwait, Jr., of Bidde-
ford, known as the War Eagle, denies
with good deal of heat In a letter to the
Boston Herald that he has gone over to
Bryan and free silver. Every argument
which was made in favor of free silver In
1896, he says, has been exploded by the
general prosperity Of business through
out the country ON gold standard ba-
sis. If the Democrats would drop free
silver and 60 to the country on living
issues one could see some hope for Bry-
an, but ON those Of 1896 he can see no
possible show of success. II don't know"
he concludes, 'but all the Democrats that
to3k the same course that 1 did in 1896
have swallowed their heads, but ha ven t
mine yet" Evidently there Is Zone Dem

The Women's Clubs that have been In
session at Milwaukee appear TO have had
pleasant and profitable convention. At
one time break between the Northern
and Southern clubs was threatened by
the color line, but by skilful parliament
tary manoeuvre this WAS side tracked and
the session ended without the unpleasant
controversy which at one time threat
ened. The large attendance and the
earnestness and interest manifested show
that the Women Clubs have become q
factor to be reckoned with in the coun-
try's social and intellectual development.

The American missionaries in Chini
are entitled to all the protection the
American government can give them, moi
because they are missionaries, but BECAUSE
they are American citizens, and undoubt-
eddy 1t will be given them. 1t is to be
feared, however, that In some places in
the interior it win be impossible to
afford them effective help, because there Is
no way to reach them. Our only reliance
is the marines our ships can furnish,
and the number cannot be large. OF
course other nations will cooperate with
us as we shall cooperate with them, but
in spite of all that can be done mission
aries in some sections will continue to be
in danger until the Boxers are sup
pressed.

The movement to form a black mans
party and nominate black mans candi-
date for President Is about as unwise
from the standpoint of the interests of
the colored man rs anything that could
be conceived of. The true policy of the
colored man is to break down the color
line. When he builds 1T up he helps, not
him self, but the men who hate him. No
Intelligent friend of the negro, will al
wise him TO undertake to build up an in
dependent party founded ON color.

Mr. Platt thinks his success in placing
John r. Hazel ON the bench OF the Unit
ed states court was the most distin-
guished one he has won since he has
been in politics. From purely political
point of view he Is probably correct. But
it is to be doubted If a success which has
resulted in putting upon the bench
man whom the New York Bar Associa-
ton has pronounced unfit for the place Is
one to be proud of or to boast about.

Bryan lacks now but thirty votes Oh

w. j. Bryan was made the unanimous
choice of the convention for president
at the morning session, and it was the
intention to complete the ticket in the
afternoon by the nomination Of Form
er Congressman Towne. The action
Of the Democratic convention, hoWev-
er, in placing Adlai E. Stevenson IN
nomination, took the delegates of their
feet, but most Of them asserted their
intention to nominate MI. Towne not

Teller, Former Congressman Shaforth
of Colorado and Cheadle Of Indiana
and others made speeches in favor OF
indCrsing the Democratic ticket, but 1t
was not until Towne himself appeared
and appealed to the convention not to
nominate him, but TO concentrate their
forces, that the delegates Gained
down and the vice presidential nomina-
ton was referred to the national COM

Late last night the national commit.

ence.
I remember once, in a society to
which I belonged, q lady lecturer Of
the gushing order read a paper III
which she was very averse to the theo-
ry Of a beneficent Providence. why"
she asked, fare we without wings, II
all this omnipotent love directs the
course of the universe? Why have 1
not been furnished with wings where
with I might fly to the ends of the
earth to my loved ones?" There was
q discussion after the paper, when a
dry old one-eyed philosopher made this
pithy speech: "Mr. Chairman, our lee
turer this evening complains because
Providence has given her no wings. I
think she has a cause of complaint, but
she's got hold Of the wrong one. Her
true. complaint Is because she's got no
brains" The hit, though rude, went
home with uproarous effect. 1t was,
in a measure, deserved; and yet, I
saw, with regret, how ready is the av-
erage audience to jeer at woman's Gu
pacity. To me it seems a sorry sort Of
gallantry which, at the opera door,
waits as squire Of danes with cloak
and wrap, and then, in some smoking
room, raises a sardonic laugh by sug-
costing that idiots r fewer among
women because so little noticeable; yet
