Suicide at Northeast Harbor.

NORTHEAST HARBoR, Sept. l6 Especially
- Harlan P. Mason committed suicide
Saturday night by hanging himself to a
bedpost in his room at William Man
chester's, where he boarded. Insanity is
supposed to be the cause, as Mason had
before suffered from mental disease.
Coroner ID. L. Fields was summoned
from Ellsworth. He deemed an inquest
unnecessary, and gave the necessary per-
init for removal OF the body.
Mason was about forty-five years of
age. He had been employed here as a
carpenter since last winter, working
lately for c. d. Joy.
His home was in West Newton, Mass,
where he leaves wife and one son. Mrs.
Mason is matron at the West Newton
police station.

aruE STARS OF MIpNIGHr.p !

The beited warrior guards the west
And waves his mighty sword to span
From Sirius TO Aldebaran.
With him watch the midnight sky
And see the giittering hosts go by
Till all my heart is one desire
Toward those glorious sons Of fire.
We. beauty such as uortsis know
Can dwell not in that fervid glow
Nor kindred life to that we claim
Abide within the CRIBS Of fame.
But circling round each fiery spark
Are worlds to US forever dark,
Nor eye OF man nor optic glass
Those bounds Of distance may o'erpasa
The beauty OF the sunbeam there
May fall as genial and as fair.
And there may life from primal cell
Repeat her long drawn miracle.
With flower end fruit. with bird and beast,
May kindly nature spread her feast
And starry dust its worth avow,
TRANSPORTED into breast and brow.
Oh. dark and silent though ye be.
Great ships that sail the heavenly ses,
1t is fer you ous hearts should yearu.
T'ward you our straining vision turni
Far of or near, by day, by night.
We find ourselves the fools OF sight,
Pursuers OF fruitless quest.
Who seek the brightest, not the best.

there was nothing to identify the sender.
Several days later he received another, the
only Enclosure being IS BILL and yester-
day he received the third, which contained
$40 bill. All were postmarked Washing
ton and were apparently from the same
person. Mr.. Beavers has no idea what the
letters mean.

to be held here next week will be a game
of base ball between the team from the

tos to meet at my quarters In Jolo. talk
matters over and come to some agreement
This was agreed to, and all the chiefs were
notified that there was to be no stealing or
trouble during the conference. All the
meetings held were simply preparatory to
the meeting with the sultan. the sultana
smoothing the way. Letters appended are
the only results OF the conferences so far,
the sultan considering it beneath his Dig
nifty to meet the dattos. Instead of this. he
went to SLASH and lost several hundred
dollars gambling with the Chinese.
An appended letter describes the latest
development In the Ubian- Yandubas afair,
which has been going on for some months,
heard through Nero and Chinese sources Of
Captain Croxtons visit to Tandubas. and
chat he was having trouble there. so sent
the launch with one machine gun and
thirty men under Captain Sage and Lieut.
tenant Saxton to Tandubas to aid Captain
Croxton, ii necessary. Before their ar
rival he had settled the matter satisfac-
torily to every one but the sultan and two
or. three Of the sultan's chiefs have re-
quested the sultan for months to settle this
AFFAIR, as the Tandubas people were fast
becoming pirates but he took no action.
Other letters appended refer to the Krag
rifles reported as turned in. Our discovery
OF the presence Of these guns on the island
was an accident, and they would not have
been turned in except for repeated threats
and demands.
The question of slavery, although not rec
ogntzed by the United States. Is still
fact. and Is a constant source of trouble on
account of slaves escaping from one mas
ter to another, or their being stolen.
Whenever question relating to slavery
comes before me, simply make the owners
prove they are slaves beyond doubt. in
which case have nothing to do with them.
but In case can pick flaw in their title,
1 give the alleged slaves freedom papers.
Thousands of Moros are held as slaves who
are by right free people.
Acts Ga and Y OF the Philippine commits
sion. extending free trade for Moros and
regulating their trade In domestic produce,
are beneficial to the archipelago. as Gus
tom officials outside the archipelago had
no knowledge Of the agreement, and 1t was
not recognized by customs laws.
The question of pearl fisheries comes UP
periodically, but SO far nothing but fric-
ton has resulted. The English firm has
withdrawn; their former manager. Mr..
Burnside, Is now fishing with three boats.
Cultivating and building are on the in
crease throughout the island, and would be
still greatly increased If the Moros could
own the land they till. AS 1t is, they are
simply squatters. and live on a piece of
land subject to the will of the dattos or
sultan.
The school for both boys and girls is
progressing favorably.
