Resubmlssion and Prohibition.

The Maine legislature has spoken with
emphasis against re-submission. There
was no popular demand for it and very
little interest manifested in its favor.
1t was understood to be an attack upon
prohibition, and the people of Maine
are by no means ready to abandon that
for the very doubtful method of local
option or any other form of license.
They are aware that prohibition fails
to prohibit to an extent not creditable
to our people and officials but they be-
lieve that there is no remedy in licensing
the manufacture and sale OF liquors. The
real evil is in the use of intOxicantS. and
there is no justification in advancing the
argument that license system, in any
form, could have a tendency to restrict
the drink habit or diminish the quantity
of rum drank in the State. We do not
believe the removal of the odirm of lille
gality from rum selling in Maine will
have the effect to decI ease the use of in
toxicants in the State, but rather believe
that giving the traffic legal status will
have a tendency to increase its use.
Enemies of prohibition have had oppor-
tunity to show their strength in Maine
legislature, and now, friends of prohibit
ton and all men and women in Maine
who believe in the supremacy of law,
should make their influence felt in favor
OF giving the Maine statutes for the sup
preston of drinking houses and tipping
shops fair trial. The only way to give
it fair trial is to give the law adequate
enforcement. This ought to be done.

A Really Great Man.

C. M. Schwab, president of the new
billion dollar steel trust, is thirty-six
years old, and it is said he receives a
salary of million dollars a year. This
is the largest salary paid any living
man. Schwab began life as poor boy
at Loretto, Pa, and has always made a
speciality of working hard, and trying
to please his employer. At twenty-four
years of age he was receiving salary
Of 100000 a year. He never attended
college; he has "a first class education,
but acquired it himself. He says that a
man who attends college five or six
years acquires idle habits that he can
never get rid of; he therefore does not
believe in college education. He be-
lieves in education, however, and never
neglects an opportunity to learn things.
He sharply citicises young men who
spend their time in what is known as
society" He says no man can amount
to anything who is in society" Other
great salaries paid in this country are:
President of the United States, $50, 600;
president of the Equitable and Mutual
life insurance companies, $780, 900 a
year each; president New York life in
surance company, $4,000; president
Pennsylvania railroad company, $780,

net, $1,000; chief justice of supreme
court, $40, 500 the chief Justice Of Eng
land receives $4,000; commander-in-

$1,000 words on . Postal Card.

Ria Kittridge of Belfast, champion
small writer Of the world, has retired
from the field. leaving his record of A, 600
words written with common steel pen
on ali ordinary postal card for ambitious
microscopic penmen to equal or beat.
Up to two years ago he wtote a great
deal, but now, being within few
months of 90, he has given up the labo-
riOus practice of writing volumes upon
small cards. his hand being less steady
and his eve less bright than in his best
days.
Mr. Kittridge has long been famous
for his penmanship. He is VermOnter
by birth. His practice of miniature
chirography began early in life and
many a time he has gone without his
dinner rather than leave unfinished a
piece of work.
His first competitive effort was made
in 1887, when some one sent to the
Belfast journal a postal card upon
which 900 words had been crowded, and
defed any one to beat 1t. A few days
afterwards Kittridge handed in postal
card upon which he had written 1000
words, and this being beaten he pro-
duced one with 3, 600 words.
The 3,00O-word postal card ended the
competition, but Mr.. Kittridge kept on
crOwding his letters and words into
still smaller space, turning out in sue
cession cards bearing 5000, 10000 and
10000 words. His finest work was done
in 1885, when he wrote 10000 words
upon an ordinary postal card, and the
entire text of the New Testament,
about ISL 900 words. on four postal cards.
He has written several presidential
inaugural addresses upon postal cards,
and has always considered it easy to
write the Lords prayer eight times
within the space covered by a five-cent
nickel. He wrote one of GladstOne'S
speeches upon postal card and sent it
to the statesman, who wrote letter in
reply thanking Mr. Kittridge and prais-
ing his skill.
Mr.. Kittridge never used any magni-
flying glasses or other aids. He always
wore a pair of ordinary spectacles,
such as most elderly men use, and all
his writing has been done with an ordi-
nary steel pen and common black ink.
He has competed with many wOuld-be
champions who have used magnifying
glasses and sharp-pointed hard lead
pencils, and he has easily beaten them
all, i'll spite of their advantage in the
matter of equipment. His writing is
distinguished by it's beauty and the ar
tlstlc arrangement and uniformity of
the letters. Each letter is separate
and distinct, and some framed speci-
mems were shown at the Paris EXPOSE
ton. He says that his eyes naturally
magnify.

A Mutiny ON the ..lredford. j"

BRocKToN, MASS, March 81. Word
has come to this city today that the
crew OF the five-masted schooner City
OF Medford, hailing from Boston, was
arrested in Lisbon. Portugal, for as
sault on the captain, Capt. Frank Lee
land. The captain is brother of Mrs.
Henry Littlefield of this city, and
Harry Lewis of Howard street, this
city, is one of the crew.
Lewis wrote to his wife in this city,
from Lisbon, saying that some of the
crew had attempted to choke the cap
tain in his cabin, and that the United
States Consul at Lisbon took the vessel
in charge, and under guard was to send
the crew to America by way of Liver
pool. He said the crew was to have a
government trial in New York upon
arrival there, which would probably be
March 9th or 18th.
The owners of the vessel, John S.
Emery & Co. of Boston, were commu-
nicated with to-day by Boston friends
of the captain and Mr.. Lewis. The
firm said it knew little of the particu-
lars. They said Lewis had been paid
off and sent home. His friends in this
city feel that he would have nothing
to do with a mutiny, and the word Of
the owners lends color to the report,
although it is believed he was brought
home with the rest of the crew, since
his letter did not say he expected other
wise. He shipped on the vessel some
four months ago. He was formerly
employed in the d. w. Field shoe fac
tory in this city.
Capt. Leland is part owner of the
vessel, which is one of the most mod
ern of it's kind atioat.
John S. Emery & Co. say the City of
Medford left Lisbon about two weeks
ago bound for Trinidad, where she was to
carry cargo of asphalt to South Caro-
lima. The vessel will return to New
York for the trial

The work of tearing down the ia,
nous marble mansion of A. T. Stewart
Thirty-fourth street and Fifth avenue,
New York, is in progress, to make room
for a. anew business block, The work
men employed in the. task of razing
the building refer to it as the marble
quarry. There is marble on every
hand, and the pieces were put together,
or rather in place, as though to remain
where they we're laid for all time. To
loosen the pieces is almost as difficult
as cutting, it is said, through solid
slab of marble.
