she said to Molly Verdon, as they sat
together, leaning on the gilt balus-
trade and watching the aquatic gam
bols of the sterner sex.
"There is the LIE Quesne," said Mol
ly, kissing her hand to man in a
striped mauve swimming suit. All, it
is Capt. Lorriker!''
"And he's going in for the 3o-yards-
under-the-water race" said Connie,
anxiously.
"Do not be anxious" said her
friend. "Capt. Lorriker is not in
.:lined to be apoplectic, like that stout
man in the guards. I feel really anx-
ious about him. Why, he is putting
and blowing already, like the sea lion
at the ZOO"
"Ah, they are off" cried Mrs. LIE
Quesne, as the four competitors
launched themselves upon their sub
aquatic journey. The guardsman
came up to the surface enorting
hideously, before he had accomplished
three yards; two of the others gave
in about the middle of the course, but
Freddy held on and won amidst ap-
plause.
"And the prize is diamond frog
and he will give it to her!" thought
Lady Connie, viciously dinting her red
underlip with one small white eye
tooth. ooh! if I could only tempt
her in next ladies' frog match .
would I don't quite know what
I'd do, but it should be some.
thing that should break her spell
upon him and bind him to me for

She did it in another minute. Never
was such lucky chance, as Molly
Vernon said.

SkOwhegan Grange.

The regular meeting, Wednesday even
ing, Feb. ~, was fairly well attended
and large amount of necessary business
transacted. Three applications for men,
bership were received. The question,
ITO what extent are farmers responsible
for unjust laws?" was considered by b.
A. Sawyer; why we favor the Grant
bill" was the subject of very earnest
remarks by C. f. Smith and A. X. Smiley.
They explained in full the object of this
bill and the effect it will have, if it be-
comes law, upon the legitimate dairy
interests OF the country. 1t is emphaticly
grange measure from the beginning
and the grange has stood squarely back
of it from the first and farmers may well
congratulate the grange for the substan-
tal work it is accomplishing in their
interest.
The grange will have supper in the
banquet hall, Saturday, Mar. 9th, from
10 p. M, proceeds 20 be devoted TO
paying for the printed programs of the
present year. After the supper the
third and fourth degrees will be con
ferred. 1t is hoped that the members
will bring loaded baskets and come with
u rush.
At the next regular meeting March -,
In the afternoon proposition to change
the constitution in relation to the time
of holding the regular meetings will be
acted upon. Ii is therefore necessary
that an unusually large number of the
members be present as 1t will concern
them all. SECRETARY.

Few more wonderful adaptations are
seen In the whole round Of nature
than the webs spiders spin to entrap
the wary ant. They are not high hung,
lacy affairs, caressing every breeze, but
low set, silken tubes stretched In the
grass, the crevices of rock or about
tree roots. Ants of every size creep
heedlessly into them. The spiders eat
them with relish, but occasionally a
very little spider and a very big ant
engage in duel to the death. IL the
spider can bite, the ant can sting, and
does 1t with n right good will. The
spider does not try TO get rid of such an
ant as he does of wasp or bee too
strong to be safely attacked. Such an
insect, which threatens destruction to
the web, Is often cut out of 1t by the
web builders. The entangling cables
are not loosed. but the web rays neatly
shipped In two, first those underneath
and at the very last the highest fla
ment Often the letting go of such n
captive means destruction to half the
nest But some spiders are wiser than
some people. They know not merely
when they have enough, but when they
have too much.

izing of West Front street, for which
81 900 was appropriated last year but not
expended, was brought up and received
much discussion. All apparently con
Cured in the same opinion, viz: that
while it WAS one Of the worst pieces of
road within the corporation limits and
demanded early attention, 1t was unwise
to start upon the same until it was learn
ed what was the wisest course to pursue
in the matter. 1t was finally left in the
hands of committee consisting of G. A.
Marston, A. Fl. Lang and George H.
Webb, who are to investigate the matter
and report at the next annual meeting.
Just previous to the adjournment of
the meeting, Moderator Walton briefly
addressed the assemblage to offer the fol-
lowing motion, which he stated he was
asked to do by many interested, and said
motion was subsequently carried;
"That an investigation of the school
expenditures and work done in our
schools be made by committee, whose
report to the next annual town meeting
shall be published in the SOMERSET RE.
PORTER on or before the first day of FeD.
ruary next, and shall specify whether In
the opinion Of that committee 80 large an
expenditure OF money as has heretofore
been made Is necessary. and whether the
town and the pupils attending school are
receiving the best results therefrom, to.
eether which such recommendations as
are deemed necessary. And the COM
mittee are further instructed to visit
every school In town. This committee
shall consist of W. II. Wildes, Daniel
Lewis, K. f. Fairbrother, John Weston,
A. X. Smiley, Mrs. r. T. Patten, Mrs. F.
o Sawyer and Miss Lizzie Currier. This
committee have power to fill all vacan-
cies."

PORTO RICO
TERRITORY
Supreme Court Decides
Against Government.
DUTIES Are ILLEGAL
Under Treaty Goods Can Come
to Porto Rico and Then
TO United States
Iews-Democrat Leased wire Service.

News-Democrat Leased Wire Service.
Washington. May 27.-Decision OF
supreme court in insular cases is
against the government. Justice Brown
read the opinion. The first case con-
sidered was that of DeLima VS.. Bidwall
collector of port of New York. In this
case court holds that territory acquired
by United States cannot be considered
domestic for one purpose and foreign
for another. Duties heretofore COLLECT
ed under Dingley act after ratification
OF treaty of Paris upon goods coming
from Porto Rico into United States are
illegal
The decision was totally unexpected
by the government, it may make neces-
sary special session of congress for
rather unexpected reason. Under Par
is treaty government of Spain was
granted permission to export free Of
duty to its former possessions coming
under Jurisdiction of United States for
term of ten years Now supreme
court holds island of Porto Rico to be
"a territory" of the United States. Yet
Spain can carry her goods to that terri
tory and from that territory under su-
preme court decision they can be car
ried free into this country. Result
would be free admission of Spanish
goods to any port of United States.
Supreme court held that territory
asquired by the United States by
treaty or otherwise becomes fntegrel
part of United States. Porto Rico and
other island possessions become ter
ritories" not territory of United States
and must enjoy all rights as such. So
constitution follows flag.
Most important ruling in supreme
court was in case of Downes VS.. Bid
well, sustains governments holding
that duties collected on goods coming
into United States from Porto Rico
after Porto Rican tariff took effect was
1t sustains in other
words right of congress to pass tariff
laws for Porto Rico even though Porto
Rico be territory of the United States.

A TORTURE STICK

Police Looking for
Murde erers.

There was some little excitement
created in Canton, Monday forenoon
over the report that two suspicious
characters had appeared in Canton ear
ly in the .morning, who had the appear
ance of having walked a long distance
over the muddy roads. It was thought
that they might have been implicated
in the Navarro murder, and the atten-
tion of Marshal Bour was called to the
fact.
The men in question rode into the
barn of Shertzer & Fry about Z O'Clock
Monday morning and secured a broom
with which they cleaned the mud off
their shoes and pantaloons, and then
let. They rode in from the west end
of the city with teamster Johnny Lyons.
One of them is said to have worked
with local contractor few days last
week, but stopped work Friday. The
other man is a stranger to ALL

tion of The report, but found nothing 10

The Police of the city have been on
the lookout all day for suspicious char
acters.
MEANS OF TORTURE.
Navarro, May 27.-It was evidently
the intention of the robbers at the out
set to torture their victims so that
they would reveal the hiding place of
the wealth they were supposed to keep
in the house. A stick, wrapped with
cotton at one end and saturated with
oil, was found near the gate at the
Stahl residence. Ii had not been light.

when the robbers took their leave.
Sheriff Zaiser. Superintendent Var
ger and Mayor Warwick. of Navarro
have gone in the direction of Pigeon
Run, in the hope of getting track of
the men. They took the dogs with
them.

have been here, and are aiding to catch
the fugitives.

Favorable Reports From Mac
Arthur Causes This Decision.

Washington, April 1S.--(SplJ--Re-
ports from General Macarthur con
tinuing so favorable, and the incrcas-
ing surrenders of insurgents have
caused the war department to make
several important decisions
First: That no more natives shall
be enlisted, either rs regular soldiers
or scouts.
Second. that three regiments of in
fantry, the 18th, 18th and 23rd, four
batteries of what was formerly the
Fourth artillery, and possibly II rcgi-
ment Of cavalry. all of the regular cs.
tablishment, shall be brought home,
directly the movement of the volul-
teers shall have ceased.
Third. that regiments recruited ut
home stations shall be held ut the var
ious parts in this country until by the
outward movement of regiments from
Manila, the number in the archipelago
shall have been reduced to 10000
Thereafter, regiments which have had
two or more years service in the trop-
les will be replaced by fresh troops
from the u. S.
This plan has been reached by Sec.
rctary Root after many conferences
with heads of bureaus. The original
idea had been TO hold 600OO soldiers
there, but conditions have improved
so rapidly that 1t has been deemed nd.
visablc to reduce this number.

that they waited so long before dis
covering that duty" It does seem
peculiar that all Of these changes are
after the appointment of the
new commissioners, While the
selections of new officials in the main
are satisfactory, the methods pursued
by several of the commissioners is far
from being 50. The uncalled for cleV-
