Quantity Harvested in
Maine Last Year.
Not All Ice Possible Harvested
Last Year.

New York, June Another hearing
was had today before Referee Musbaum In
the proceeding instituted by Attorney
| General Davies to annul the charter OF
the American Ice company. President
Morse was present but was excused Tor
the day. Arthur Terry secretary of the
City Trust company was the first witness
examined. The trust company Is the reg
lister Of the ice company. He produced
two large books containing the list OF
stockholders. Objection was made by
counsel for the defendants against nd
hitting this testimony but they were
overruled by the referee. 1t was decided
that the books might be examined by
counsel in private. Clarence e. Durham
formerly Of the Glasgo Ice company
testified concerning the sale Of the COM
pany to the American Ice company. 1t
was brought out that William Scott Of
the Merchants Union Ice company, an
independent concern is an uncle OF Secre-
t airy Scott of the American Ice company
and supplied 1t with ice in this city,. AT
this point q recess was taken.
The afternoon session began with the
examination of Captain Abraham Rich,
an ice expert from London Hill, Maine,
who gave a detailed statement Of the
Ice production of Maine, the cost of har-
vesting and conditions Of the trade. He
was formerly in the employ of the Con-
solidated Ice company. In reply TO ques-
tions he said that in March, 1890, there
was !, 04S, 900 tons Of Ice on the kennebec
In the ice houses. On the Penobscot there
was 225, 900. On the coast approximately
was between 1oO,0 900 and $50, 900 tons.
Ninety per cent of this was controlled by
the Consolidated and Knickerbocker Ice
com pany, of Maine. Captain Rich said
that for 30 years he had accumulated
data as to the cost of ice collecting. :.
Under normal conditions" he con-
tinued, ~ should think the average cost
of ice per ton for harvesting would be
from Il, Is, to 20 cents per ton.
He added in reply to another question
that the average total cost Of Ice ON the
scale In New York. was $i.22 IA per ton.
Captain Rich said h, sold lea at a per
ton, the profit being about go per cent.
He said 20 cents per hundred gave a large
profit. In the city he found the average
cost of ice delivered to families was 1854
per ton.
What was the total ice harvest In
Maine this lasts.yearf' he was asked
"On the Kennebec river 524 ,531 tons
and there was carried over 3l3, 900 tons,
making q total of s37, 53i tons. On the
Penobscot there was harvested about
20, 600 tons and 1s7, 800 left over. On the
coast about 3d. 600 tons were harvested.
: The harvest was slightly under the
average and the witness said the reason
for this shortage was that the crop was
not harvested.
He mentioned several places where the
ice was of the best quality, but was not

general of the United States section at

the evening OF Saturday. March 8. and

PARIS is FRANCE.

Paris has always been France. All
the great movements of the country
have been centred here, whether politi-
cal, religious, social, literary or artis-
tici so that any attempt TO trace the
history of the city launches one imme-
diately into the study of the nation
while an effort TO master the history
Of the French people sends one to
Paris. One realizes this particularly
when he comes to study the lives of heI
great men and women. They may
have been born in the south OF east
or north OF west. but to rise to the
first rank they were obliged TO seel

A FEMININE FAILING.

DiGicbIty Sfnny of the Sex Have In
Telling Right From Left.
Il saw by n paper last week that a
colored woman was excluded from tes-
tifylng In court because she didn't
know her right hand from her left and
was therefore esteemed too ignorant
for her evidence to be of any value"
said an observant man yesterday.
"Now. do you know don't believe one
woman out Of six knows her right
hand from her left without stopping
TO consider the matter.
81 was standing IN the foyer of a
theater the other day at matinee
watching the audience. mostly femi-
nine, as 1t passed in. Well, each maid
handed her check TO the usher, and he
called out First door to the right or
Second door to the left as the case
might be. With hardly an exception
those girls turned In the wrong direc-
ton: then they'd pause to consider, ex-
claim, We're going the wrong wayF
and skurry back again.
'This happened so often that I spoke
TO the usher about it.
"'They always do It, he replied Ia
conically. I usually point so they'll
know the way, but I've neglected to dc
that today. They're all right If they
stop to think. but they never do think.
IL myself know an intelligent young
woman who has to make a little mo
ton as If she were writing with botf
hands before she can determine the
right one, and she declares that all hel
acquaintances are affected in like man
ner. 50 perhaps this is a general femi
nine failing, and the colored witness
was unjustly excluded" - Baltimore
