John johnson Emery, formerly a
Maine farmer, politician, explorer
and lumberman, and who became
noted for bringing about the dispute
between this country and England,
which ended in the blOodless ARGOS
took war, died Of old age at his home
in Roxbury. He was born in Fair
held, Me-, or August %, 1906. His
father was Samuel Emery, the first
white child born in the town. The
mothers maiden name was Diadema
Johnston, and John j. was one of the
Is children of the family.
As manhood came, says the Bos-
ton Globe, he grew into a life of local
activity, and located most of the roads
now existing in Fairfield and many
Of those in surrounding towns. He
was a selectman for nine years, was
county surveyor for a long time, and
represented the town in the legisla-
ture of Maine. He was also an ex-
tensive farmer, and carried on a
lumber business of considerable mag
nitude, During Mr.. Emery's days as
a lnmberman he and a companion
made many explorations of the Maine
woods. They made a chart of the
ground that they covered, and pub
lished several pamphlets describing
these localities, which were then lit
tie known to the hunters andthe pub
lie.
In 1889 Mr.. Emery was the inno-
cent cause of a war, which is now
known in history as the Aroostook
war, and for a time came near being
serious in many respects. 1t came
about over a boundary dispute with
Canada; neither this country nor The
province of the queen could decide
on the proper location of the line
and it was always coming up as a bone
of contention. In 1889 he was sen.

The com missioner was murdered by natives of the Ogaden Somalis tribes in Jubaland, n ot far from the port Of Kis- mayu, while on a tour of inspection of the colony.
 This is by no means the first of Eng lands experience with these warlike blacks. Ever since English coloniza- tion began in that part of Africa they have sought favorable opportunities to avenge the invasion of theircountry and several English officials and eN- plorers have been killed by them, but in this case England promises speedy and terrible revenge that it is hoped will prove a lasting lesson.
 These hostile blacks which England is attempting to punish for their dep relations and murders were not orig inally natives of the British posses sions. but came from the Italian pro- tectorate and Abyssinia to the north of the Juba river, which forms the boundary between the territories. But they have been gradually pushing southward into the British sphere of influence, gaining control of the ad- vantageous outlets to the sea, and when opportunity offered levying tribute upon the trading caravans from the interior bound for the seaport towns. They are said to have among them sew eral European leaders. and have proven formidable in the field. They are tall muscular and handsome, wear white cloth wound around their bodies and

Bridgeport Policeman Got Shave
 While on Duty,

While on Duty.
 Bridgeport. Feb l6.-One of the most expensive slaves that Patrolman Hatch ever enjoyed was the one which he took while on duty yesterday af- ternoon between 4 and , o'clock. Fig ured down to fine point, it cost him about Sl.33 1-3 minute, and it took him an hour to have the job done, hot towel. bay rum and all. The barber did not get this price, but the city will The shave took place in the afternoon and by o'clock the price, |, little over $50, was charged up to the officers account by the police commissioners.
 patrolman Hatch wanted to go out last evening and thought if he could get shaved while patrolling his beat it would save him time. He went into a barber shop at the corner of South avenue and Main street about o'clock and when he had divested himself of helmet and coat. climbed into the chair and prepared to enjoy the one luxury of his life, q high priced shave. One of the police commissioners, unfor- tunately for Hatch, has his office di- rectly across the street. He saw the incident and last evening. at the meet ing of the commissioners, he preferred charges against Hatch. The patrol man admitted the breach of duty and was fined one months pay. He has been q partolman nearly seven years and this is the first time he has been ''on the carpet The penalty was con- sidered harsh one by some of the men, but the commissioners claim that t in order to obtain discipline in the de partment it is necessary to lnf11ct a lesson on all delinquent patrolmen.
 On account of Patrolman Hatch's laxity the other officers will be kept moving in the future. The signal box calls which they send i'll at stated in tervals will be increased tWofold, so that as soon as the schedule can be ar ranged the men will have to pull the boxes twice as often as formerly.

 As regards the project to make the Kingussi canal navigable for small steanboats, the commissary of the Kwango district reports that the dredging is progressing favorably and that already the bottom of the canal was HIS inches below the lowest wa termark. For distance of 3,937 feet the canal will run in quite straight line, and there will be no obstacles to navigation in the shape of rocks, etc. Since November 1, 1900, ten-toh steam CTS have been. able to use it, even dur ing the dry season.
