Washington, Nov. 19.-The new Hay
Pauncefote treaty was signed yester-
day by Secretary Hay for the United
States and Lord Pauncefote, the Brit
ish ambassador, for Great Britain.
This treaty is intended to replace the
first Hay-Pauncefote treaty That con
vention was amended so extensively
by the United States Senate at its last
session that the British government de-
clined to ratify it. Within Il few
weeks negotiations began afrcSh be-
tween Secretary Hay and Lord Paun-
cefote. which have just resulted in the
signature of the new treaty. drawn
with special reference to the objections
found by the Senate with the first
treaty.
Owing to the courtesy which must
be observed toward the Senate wher
ever a treaty is concerned, the State
Department is estopped from making
public the text of the new convention,
and that will remain secret until the
Senate itself shall break the seal of
confidence.
The principal point of difference be-
tween the new and the failed treaty
is the withdrawal of Great Britain
from the joint guarantee of the neu-
tralty of the canal, thus leaving the
United States the sole guarantor. The
excelsior of the old provision respect
ing the right to fortify the canal leaves
that right by inference optional with
the United States. All commerce of
whatever nationality passing through

A .Sister's Advice.

l tell you, nobody but mother
knows how q mother feels when she
looks at her child and fears that he
may not be spared to her.
The hours of her life are dark and
heavy when she does that.
But that is what Mrs. Frank 7. WASH
burn, of Kennebunk, Maine, did more
than once, when punches had formed
on her little boys neck.
She knew they were scrofulous
punches, and she knew scrofula is pro-
gressive and one of the most destruc-
tive OF diseases.
She was alarmed, and told her sister
about her fears for the little fellow, and
her sister comforted her by telling her
that many wonderful cures OF scrofula
had been wrought by Hoods Sarsapa-
rllla, and that she should give this
medicine to the boy.
1t is difficult to conceive how her
sister could have thrown more sunshine
into her life at this time, and it is
certain that better advice could not
have been given.
For, mark you! this is what Mrs.
Washburn said, on the 18th of Octo-
Der, 1900:
Hood's Sarsaparllla cured my boy.
The punches gradually softened and
disappeared. He has been real we'll
ever since and now, at three years of
age, is a rugged, healthy child. I am
grateful for what Hoods sarsaparilla
did for him."
This is a simple statement of one of
the thousands Of radical and permanent
cures of scrofula effected by Hood g
Sarsaparilla-which is the medicine of
all medicines for this disease and all
its manifestations, punches, assesses,
eruptions, inflamed eyelids, sore ears,
ricketts,, wasting and general debility,
as we'll as for dyspepsia, catarrh, kid
ney complaint and rheumatism.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is obtainable of
all druggists. Don't accept any sub
stitute for it, nor any preparation rep
resented as being equally good. No
substitute, no other preparation, acts
like it. Insist on having Hoods.

get the full value of our money is at
least debatable. The law requires us
to have surveyor, and he is paid a
yearly salary; but how about his quail
fications? The Office may be bestowed
as political or personal reward, and
the incumbent know no more about
building roads, walks, culverts and
bridges than he does of Sanscrit I'm
less the surveyor does know these things
it stands to reason that the money APP
propriated for highways cannot be WISE
ly expended, and the salary paid him is
wasted. The situation is just as bad
when, although he may be competent,
there is a power over the surveyor that
has only one thought, which is to pre-
vent even necessary work being done,
in order to make false show of economy.
For it is no economy to let streets and
sidewalks go to decay until they are al
most impossible and dangerous as we'll.
There was never such demand for
good roads as there is today; and the
town or city that does not rise to that
demand and mend its ways will be held
up to derision and Stunned as a place
of residence. The bicycle has come to
stay and the automible is coming. The
summer historian important factor
now in the prosperity of many place,
is abroad, and when on pleasure bent is
in no mood to plough through ruts and
jolt over loose stones in the highways.
The farmers boy and the farmers girl
have bicycles, too; and the farmer
wants good roads over which to bring
his produce to market. Everybody,
in fact, wants good roads. We pay for
them, and we ought to have them.

Home and Mother.

A ruler in distant cline once gave a ban
quet rich and grand,
And one among his guests was there, whose
name was famous thro' the land
When toasts were called he then replied
"The words more sweet than any other, in
any tongue or any land,
To me are home and mother;
1 then propose the toast be drank in water
pure and clear,
Pure as the love our mothers gave through
many childhood's year;
All that | am, all | shall be as years may
pass away,
l owe to the love and tender care of a
mother, now old and gray"
Cheers rang thro' that lofty hall as with
glasses raised above
They drank to the health of that mother old,
and the home this great man loved.
So in life, it matters not where our place, in
this land or another,
Our hearts will turn as we fOndly yearn for
our dear old home and mother.

An 1000 Ton Steamer.

launched March 23d at the Newport

the distinction of being the largest
steam vessel ever built on this side of
the Atlantic. With a length of SIP feet
inches and beam of 60 feet, she will
displace Is, 600 tons on a draft of p feet
Some idea of the size of the Korea may
be derived from the fact that from the
top to the bottom of the bare hull is
distance of 40 feet, while the distance
around her rail is nearly quarter of a
mile. She is to be fitted with engines of
$4,000 horse power; sufficient to propel
her at speed Of from IS to 20 knots.

engers, of whom 200 will be first cabin
passengers. She is designed for the

''The Indifference of the so called
better class of citizens to municipal
affairs is the cause of much of the I'M
businesslike methods which appear in
our city governments today" says Mayor
Chaplin of Holyoke, Mass, in the Wor-
cester Magazine. And further: every
few people acquaint themselves with
the business of city and do not inves-
tigate the financial report as stock
holder of corporation should. If more
of our citizens would interest them
selves in municipal affairs, and see to
it that they voted on election day, and
that their friends voted, our municipal
governments would be more successful. !"
That is true, but as preliminary to
voting they should attend the nominal
ing caucus. Those who do not attend
the caucusses, and then criticise and
condemn the candidates nominated, are
not fulfilling their duty as citizens.

The financial showing made by the
legislature on the whole is a very good
one, says the Portland Press. The ap-
preparations will exceed those of two
years ago by only about $4,000, while
the revenue provided by the tax bills
will show an increase of several hun
dred thousand dollars a year. This in
crease will come entirely from new
sources of income, the rate of the State
tax not having been increased. Had it
not been for the Bangor hospital there
wo uld have been an actual decrease in
appropriations. When the floating debt
incurred by the Spanish war is out of
the way it would seem to be possible to
cut down slightly the rate of State taxa
