Few men are better qualified to ex-
press an opinion as to the growth and
condition of the State than Hon. w. w.
Stetson, State superintendent of schools
In the first place Maine is one of his IA
vorite topics of conversation. His extern
sive travels to even the remote corners of
the State and his research into manners
customs and conditions. have given him
such a vast fund of information that he
is authority on matters pertaining to the
State. One of the much discussed uues-
tions. recently, is the population of Maine
as will be shown by the census bureau
reports. Everywhere a gain of popula
cases there is gain of population in towns.
In consequence the question is repeated
IS raised. is the gain in the cities the
result of people coming from other states
and provinces, or is it the result of peo-
pie moving from the country to the city?
When asked for his views Superintendent
Stetson gave as his opinion that one-half
of the increase is due to people moving
from the towns to the cities, while the
other half of the increase is due to peO-
pie moving from other states and prov
inces to Maine. On this basis the esti-
mate is made that the population will be
a little over 100000

one of the much talked of matters at
the State House, yesterday. was the move
to build 300 houses at Rumford Falls. The
growth of the town has been almost phe-
nomenal. a decade ago 1t was one of the
smallest towns in oxford county. Now it
is the largest town, and the valuation
has steadily increased. The largest
next year. as then the new mills and the
addition to the old mill will be included
in the valuation. The water works sys-
TEN there is one of the most unique in
the State The town is in three terraces,
the residential portion being on the sec
ond terrace. about 50 feet below the first
or upper terrace. A pipe was simply run
out into the river that was connected
with Il system of piping. The only eX-
pense of the system is the maintenance
of piping system. The only danger that
the town suffers of being cut off from a
water supply is the river drying up.
1t is one of the fundamental principles
of the town officers to state tn the pro-
there that they must pay taxes. Their
theory is that if "A corporation is not
thriving enough and sure enough of sue
cess il is not the plant wanted There
is not a dollars worth of property in the
town that is exempt from taxation, with
the exception of the churches which are
exempt in all towns.

The number of towns and plantations
in the State remains the same as last
year through the formation of Sheridan
plantation. The plantation was first or
ganiZed a good many years ago but in
1873 the organization was given up. The
new officers are: Clerk. Arthur Cyr; as
sessors, Bert Tiliey, Arthur Cyr and Dick
Carrot. This takes the place of planta-
tion that dropped its organization short
time ago through failing to make the nee
essary returns. In consequence the num-
ber of towns. cities and plantations re-
mains the same. The new plantation is
recorded in time to come in at the next
election.

Democrats and Insurgents

Otto Bethorst, second lieutenant
Eleventh cavalry, L. 5. ", writes
his father at Wellington, from Nueva
Carceras, =. l., on August 30, as fol-
lows: "The fighting has of late be-
come Imore active all over the island.
The Tagals have received much en-
couragement from America in the
Philippines plank of the Democratic
platform, and | expect there will be
considerab skirmishing from the
present time until after election. We
have just lately received papers from
the United States containing the ac-
countssof the doings of the political
conventions. The Democratic plat
form was the object of interest, for we
knew what would be the denunciation
of the Republican party, but did not
knowlto what extent the Democratic
party would go, nor what stringent
terms they would employ to express
their sentiments in their written dis
approval of the whole policy of the
INtpuDllCdh parry anu VI bhdO pldJ-
form, the plank that is mostly COM
mented upon is the one touching the
Philippine question. We had begun
to believe that sentiment was becom-
ing more and more favorable to the
policy that has been and is now being
pursued in regard to these islands.
Even the Filipinos themselves thought
so, but it seems that we both were
mistaken, and q reaction has taken
place here. The greatest encourage
ment the insurgents have everreceived
in the past came from the expression
at various times of the opinions of
public men in America on the Philip.
pine question: but even the Filipinos
never realized that they were so fav-
ored by American opinion until they
learned of the Philippine plank in the
Democratic platform. This express
sion of favorable sentiment has
caused lighting to be more actively
resumed here"

THE BOERS WOMAN SPY
British Army Plans We're Not Slow
to Reach Kruger

London, Oct. 22.-One of the fas-
cinating stories of woman and war
which has come out of the Hinterland
is that told in the London Daily News
by its correspondent in the Trans
vaal, A. G. Hayes. 1t is the story of
modern Delilah-a woman whose
charm and cunning beguiled from
British officers high military secrets.
These this spy of Kruger's conveyed
to her Boer friends so quickly and
accurately that, Mr., Hayes says, they
accounted for several disasters to
British arms.

ONE MAN STOLE 100000
A Wall Street Bank Robbed of Great
Sums by Teller.

New York, oct. Shortly before
the close of business in Wall street
this afternoon there was a current ru-
NOR to the effect that one of the en-
ployees of one of the leading banks in
the city had defaulted to large
amount.
The bank effected is the First Ma
tional, and the employees name is c..
L. Afford, and the defalcation will
reach 800, 900. He has not yet been
arrested.
The bank gave out the following
statement today:
"The note teller, who has been in
the employ of the First National bank
for many years, is defaulter to a
large amount. His operations have
continued for a considerable period,
and have been skillfully concealed
through manipulation of his bal
ance book. The discovery was made
by one of the banks employees few
days after the completion of an exam
ination of the bank by the United
States examiners.
"The aggregate of thefalse entries
amounting to 100000, has beer
charged off on the books of the banl
out of the reserve fund, without di
minishing the surplus and profits Of
the bank as reported in its last pub
lished statement. 1t is expected tina
the shortage will bematerially reduced
by a substantial sum, of which ther,
is fair prospect of recovery"

STANLEY SHOULD WIN
Judge West Calls Attention of Voters
tOa Few important Points.

Topeka oct. -3.-"As the election
approaches, said Assistant Attor-
ney General West today, lit is well
for the voters of Kansas to consider Il
few significant and stubborn facts re-
gardiug the conduct OF state affairs
by the Stanley administration.
Governor Stanley has conducted
the affairs pertaining TO his depart
ment, including the matter of the re-
wards for arrest. the board of par
dons and the state accountant for
Sll 900 year less than Governor
Leedy conducted the same affairs for.
During the last six months and nine
days of Governor Leedy's term, his
department including the board of
pardons and rewards for arrests, cost
the state $l3, 704.37, During Cover
nor Stanley's first six months, the
same work cost the state So, 6,540.S2,
leaving a difference in the favor of
the taxpayers of 81, 7,253.55.
''The governor has an army of ap-
pointments to make. Mr.. Breiden-
thai andl Mr.. Ridgely are understood
to be in reality Socialists. The heads
of the state educational institutions,
the membership of the state boards,
and various other places of respon.
sibility would be subject to. change,
and presumably the candidate of the
three opposition parties would fiji,
these places withmen of kindred minds
with his own.
SIT is already rumored that Mr.
Stryker is to supersede DR.. Taylor a
the state normal at Emporia, and
doubtless Professor Will would de
mand reinstatement at Manhattan.
But this is by no means all. Tht
judicial amendment will be carried
without doubt, and then the duty will
rest upon the governor to appoin
four justices of the supreme court
Had notthe voters better stop and con
slider the sort of judicial timber 1
Socialistic-Populistic-Dem gov
ernor would place at the head of ou
judiciary?
"The entire state ticket is made VI
of men who, starting in as poor boys
have worked their way upuntil thei
merit and ability have placed then
where they are. Their vigilant an,
faithful performance of official dut
has made the record clean, economi
cal and in all respects praiseworthy
and in addition to the answer of
good conscience, it is but fair tina
the voice of the people should deman
their retention for two years longer.

AN AIRSHIP THAT FLIES
Count Zeppelin's Second Successful
Experiment.

Friedrichshofen, Wurtemberg, Ger
many. oct. 22.-The second trial of
Count Won Zeppelin's air ship was
made yesterday. It was successful,
and the cigar shaped air boat was
put through a'number of evolutions.
With Count Zeppelin and Herr Eugene
Wollf ON board the air ship ascended
at O'Clock to an altitude of five
eights of a mile. After themaneuvers
in the air, back, forth and turning, it
descen ded slowly to the water, which
it reached near the point OF departure
at j:25 o'clock.
During the exhibition great crowds
watched the movements of the air
ship. Among those present were the
king and queen of Wurtemberg.
In appearance Count Won Zeppelin 5
air ship resembles a huge cigar,
pointed at both ends. The entire
structure is chiefly of aluminium. The
length is about 4lj feet. The
diameter of the cylinder is forty feet
and the total depth of the structure,
including the gondolas in which the
passengers sit, is about eighty feet
The framework of this huge cylinder
consists of, aluminium bands. twenty
four i'm number. The interior of the
cigar is divided by sixteen vertical
ribs into seventeen compartments,
each of which contains an independ-
ent balloon, made of "a material which
the manufacturer calls "ballonin, -
The total weight of the ship, including
its crew, is estimated not to exceed
20, 600 pounds. but it is not expected
that it will ever reach this figure in
actual work.
Four screws or propellers attached
to the sides of the cigar are actuated
by two Daimler moters of fifteen
horse power each, and are capable of
turning at the rate of 200 revolutions
a minute. These propellers are made
with blades of aluminium.
The steering apparatus consists OF
four rudders, connected in pairs.
one pair is in the foremost part of the
ship. one rudder above and one he
low, working on vertical axle; the
otner pair is in position to the rear,
working in similar manner.
