Arbor and Bird Dav,

Gov. Lind has designated Friday,
April 20, as arbor and bird day. In
his proclamation, he says:
"The work of building our great
commonwealth, of which we gre so
justly proud, has been facilitated in
no small degree by the riches of our
forests. They have furnished the ma
terial for the homes of our people,
employment for their industry and an
abundant return for their capital and
labor. But we have felled more than
we have planted. We have used more
than we have provided. It is appar-
ent to all that the time for outstanding
this as we do our other great resources,
has arrived. We cannot restore the
forests, nor shade and shelter the prai-
ries at once, but we can make a be-
ginning. We will never have an in
tel]igent forestry until we have an in
telligent appreciation of the beauty
and value of trees. To insure this,
we must begin at the homes, in the
schools and and with the children.
And now that spring has come, throb-
bling with life and promise, our peo-
pie can, and I trust will, make this
beginning by planting trees and
shrubbery to shade and beautify our
homes, our public grounds and our
highways. I appeal especially to the
teachers of the state and to the pupils
in our schools to take up this work,
and to insure it's continuance as A
patriotic duty.''

The Chicago Tribune persists in
hammering away at the idea that the
Porto Rican tariff law must be right
because so many prominent republicans
advocated it. It says: "The measure
+ + which represents the views OF
the president, arrived at after confer
ence with those best acquainted with
insular affairs, can contain nothing
to which any member of the republican
party can take exception" This OF
course is poser-for those who be-
lieve in the infallibility of Mckinley.
Col. Ripley, a lifelong republican,
speaking at pro-Boer meeting in
Minneapolis, said:
1t is abhOrrent to every man who
understands our system of government
that we should hold any people in SUBJ
lection, whether in abject slavery or
under process of benevolent assimi-
lation. To us there must be no Rome
with its Palestine; no Russia with it's
Poland; no England with it's Ireland;
and above all, no England fighting
the Orange Free State and the Trans
vaal-the most heroic nations of mod
ern history. This must not enter into
it's system" " ." u. ...

THE BELFAST YACHT FLEET.

Sunday was an ideal summers days, of re-
but not excessively hot, and it seemed as
though the whole population must have
taken an outing at some time during the
day. There were vacant moorings in the
harbor and vacant stalls in the livery and
private stables; the bay was dotted with
sails. and the roads leading out of town
were thronged with vehicles There was
yachtSmen did not get a very early start
When it did come it was variable, and
streaks of wind and calm were seen on the
smooth surface of the bay. 1t was a time
when the yachtsman who can foretell wher e
the wind will strike, and from what direc-
ton. has big advantage over competitor
who is less weatherwiSe. On such occasions
it is safe to say that Capt. A. A. RoiX, the
veteran skipper of the Edna, never gets
left, and his fleet craft, with all sails set,
took the lead in going down the bay, keep
ing well to the western shore. As the
Edna was standing off shore loOker-on re-
marked, 81 should go about now" and the
words were hardly uttered before the jibs
were shaking and the Edna filled away on the
other tack. That indicated plainly enough
that the sold man. himself was at the
wheel. The wind freshened as the day
wore on, veering from south to southwest,
and look in what direction you might there
was to be seen the gleam Of snowy can
vas, with sails of a duskler tint as well.
Half dozen or more two-masted schooners
came down the river, and worked their way
seaward, and one four-master passed down
in tow.
| The return of the yachts was a pretty
| sight When first seen Off Northport Camp
Ground, which appeared to have been the
| objective point with most of them, one
would have thought regatta was in prog
ress. Off the Battery it was nip and tuck
with the Edna and Bess. The wind was
dead aft, so that the jibs did not draw, and
the Edna did not nave her gaff-tOpsail set
Next came Capt. Barr in the Gondola. and
| in the rear was the new craft built at East
Knox and launched here a few weeks ago.
A little later the knOckabouts Palos, Capt
Wilson, and the Wave, Capt Parker,
came along, and the Jennette hove in sight
from around Turtle Head. There was a
| stiff breeze along the 1slesbOro shore and
| the Jennette made quick time across to the
Camp Ground, and then followed the othel
yachts up the western shore. The last of
the fleet to head for home was the schooner
| Hattie, Capt. Freeman Roberts.

An Alleged Forger Wanted.

Governor Powers has issued requisition
papers for the removal of James E. Simpson
from Massachusetts to this State. The
matter did not come before the session of the
Governor and Council, but was acted ON by
the Governor alone.
The requsition was granted on the request
Of County Attorney Ellery Bowden of
Winterport. From his recital of the affair
it seems that Simpson is charged with forg-
ing a check on the Belfast National Bank,
in July, 1899, signing the name of Russell
Bennett The alleged forgery was so clever
that it was not discovered until six months
after wards. In the meantime Simpson had
gone to Massachusetts, where he forged a
check, which was discovered and he was
convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary.
The sentence will expire, Aug 3. AS soon
as he has served his time in Massachusetts
he will be brought to this State and taken
before the court where he will be given a
trial on The new charge preferred against
him.
County Attorney Bowden was present at
the Council rooms, July Goth and personally
presented the matter to Governor Powers,
who lost no time in issuing the request for
requisition.
