Protect Fire Plugs.

To "lOck the barn after the horse has
been stolen" is too late, and TO talk
about frozen fire plugs after property
has been destroyed would be too late,
and that is why we are about to remark
that the fire plugs In this borough need
attention, and that atimmediately. Some
OF the plugs are not even covered. All
the fire plugs should be kept in such
condition during winter months that
there will be no possible danger Of them
freezing up and that the firemen can get
them in working order the minute they
want to use them. The tiremen have to
do their work quickly, as few minutes
delay may. mean that the ''fire fiend"
will get ahead Of them. Fires are not
common occurrences in our town and
for that reason perhaps there is not as
much care taken about fire plugs as
should be. 1t is better to be prepared
as II expecting fire any hour.

SCHOONER PROBABLY LOST.

Rockland, May 23.-An unknown fish
ing schooner thought to be a Gloucester
man is supposed to have foundered
with all hands on board during the
tempest and thunder storm ON May 10.
About four o'clock on the afternoon Of
that dat e, the fishermen on Ash and
Otter islands saw a coasting vessel and
fishing schooner making up the chan
mel. The storm came on with the force
Of tornado and for half an hour the
black cloud shut the two vessels from
sight of those on shore.
When the storm ceased the coaster was
seen pursuing her course, but no trace OF
the fisherman could be discovered. With
in few days wreckage from fishing
vessel has been picked up ON the coast on
the two islands. Albert G. Smith of
Birch island picked up the orn and ar
rived at Rockland, Wednesday morning
with news Of the discovery.
The missing schooner was of about
thirty or forty tons and the dory which
has been recovered was of style that the
fishermen believe the YES sci was Glou-
FISHERMAN.

noon, and 1t is not altogether certain that
his attempt will not prove successful.
In fit of dependency he made two

the second time the razor was forced deep
into the throat, severing the muscles near
the windpipe, but not quite reaching the
windpipe itself =
Dr. c. A. Baker was called. He found
the victim very weak from the loss of
blood. johnson was living late last
night, but his recovery was matter

to have resulted from his dissip II. He

IN GRIP OF MILITARY.
FiIipinos Now Depending ON the We
Season and Democrats.

Washington, May 23.-The war depart
ment has received an interesting report
from Brigadier General Theodore Schwan
U. :. v, dated ON the transport Thomas
at sea, May ID, 1900, in which he submits
u thorough review of the state of affairs
in the Philippines up to the time of his
departure from Manila ON April IS last,
making particular reference to what he
believes to be the irretrievable ollapse of
the Filipino instruction as n whole, and
expressing the conviction that If left
alone, the Filipinos would demonstr ate
their absolute inability to govern them
selves. The principal islands, he says,
are now as never before, held with an iron
grip by the military In Luzon, all the
interior, as well as all the coast towns of
importance are occupied by American
troops.
General Schwan states that the sole
hope entertained by the insurgents for a
revival of the instruction lies in the sup
position that the United States troops
will BIZ Obliged TO abandon many of their
present positions at the opening of the
wet season owing to inability to secure
supplies during that period, and also lin
the possibility of victory for the Demo-
cratic or anti-expansion party in the COM
ing Presidential campaign"
General Schwan says the insurgents
think that such victory win mean the
withdrawal of all the military forces now
in the islands. With the exception of the
savage mountain tribes and the numer
Gus bands of brigapds, says the report,
the greater majority of both the educated
and peasant classes in the Philippines
heartily desire restoration of peace and
order under American rule. The many
bands of robbers and brigands form dis
jointed nucleus for prospective recon
centration of insurgent forces and the re
newed prosecution of the rebellion, says
General Schwan.

Methodist Pastorates
Not Limited.
The Rule Abolished By Vote Of 1888
to 23S.
Pastors Still Appointed
By Bishops.
But Length Of Stay Depends On
Popularity.

Chicago, May 23.-By vote Of 1913 Ia
23s, the Methodist general conference to-
day abolished the time limit of pastorates,
thus formally disposing of one of the
most important questions before the great
Methodist body and doing away with
one Of the fundamental features Of the
itinerant system of the denomination.
Hereafter, according to the amendment
to the discipline adopted by the confer
enee today, preachers will be appointed
annually by bishops, with no limit on
the number Of years pastor may serve
one congregation, except the limit i'm
posed by his own ability and popularity
with his congregation. He will still be
a pilgrim and a stranger, but now may
tarry longer than five years. Fraternal
greeting, were exchanged with the Pres
byterian assembly now in session ut st.
