Judge Rogers refused TO grant pre-
lminary injunction or restraining order
at the close of the hearing. but intimated
he might certify the matter TO the full
bench. At the beginning of the hearing
Judge Rogers wished TO make the same
disposition of the matter. but Mr.. An

possibly give any time TO the case within
a week. II will take about ten days to
do the work.

BANGOR'S
FLOOD
ENDED.
Ice Jam Breaks and the Pen

At Ellsworth.

Bangor, Me-. March 22.-The Penobscot
river is now open from Bangor TO the
sea and all further danger from flood is
passed.
The jam Of ice above the pumping sta
ton dam broke up this morning at :
o'clock and together with mass OF
logs, came down without causing any
damage. Business which was suspended
I'm this city on Friday, was resumed to-
day, although many merchants will spend
the greater part of the day moving back
their stocks from places OF safety 10
which they were taken when the waters
began TO rise.
WATER STILL RISING.
Ellsworth, Me. March 22-Although the
rain has ceased falling the water in the
Union river continued to rise slowly all
night and today the conditions are slight
ly more serious than yesterday. The
water is now at the highest point ever
known and is still rising.
Up to this time no serious damage has
been done. but the big dam which holds
back the water in Green Lake shows signs
of weakening, and there is some fear
IL may give way. Should this happen and
the great body of water now confined be
released, the result would be serious. The
lake is nine miles I'm length and three
miles in width.
IL the dam gave way IL is thought all
the other dams and all the bridges on
the river would be washed out. The
Green Lake dam was materially strength
ened after last springs freshet. however.
and il probably will be able to stand the
strain unless the volume Of water is fur
ther increased.
All railroads in the eastern part of the
state were running trains today under
great difficulties. On the Bar Harbor
branch OF the Maine Central all trains
but one was cancelled and this one was
running on an Irregular schedule. The
tracks OF the Washington county road
are under water for a number of miles.
No trains had been Cancelled up to today,
but the schedule had been greatly de-
ranged. In some places the water ex-
tended up to the floors OF the passenger
cars.

COST OF MODERN WA
Military Borrowings Britain Are Much Large
They Were In 1912.

So far as government borrowings
are an indication, says the New York
Evening Post, the annual cost of the
Boer war to Great Britain has been
nearly double that of the wars against
Napoleon, 100 years ago. In the
period 1792-lS02, when England was
fighting necessarily in almost every
corner OF the globe. and was in addi-
ton substituting half dozen continen-
tai states, the principal of the British
debt increased G297 $3.50, 5S7-an aver
age annual increase of G297 900
Between 1902 and 1915. a period which
covered the Spanish campaign. the
American war and Waterloo. the debt
increased E323, $50. 041-an annual av-
erage of G24.S75. 900.
Loans raised by the exchequer dur
ing the two years following the Boer
war outbreak in October, 1899. foot up
e114 .000000 They include the G30,-
100000 war loan of 1900. and two is
sues of G 5000 900 eXchequer bonds in
the same year: 5000 900 consols in
1901, and Eli, O0O. 900 exchequer bonds
The above list does not include the
temporary treasury bills issued in 1899
and 1900, or the G14,413, 900 of the
same bills issued after the consols
loan of 1901, and still outstanding.

deliberate, and the subject for dis
cussion was laid before the meeting.
At first profound silence reigned.
Finally one Of the members of the
council rose and said he haG heard OF
the possibility of replacing human
teeth by artificial ones; adding, that
to the best of his belief, there was n
man in Breslau who undertook to do
this. He said he could not vouch for
the truth of what he had heard, but
he really had been told that this was
the case! A long discussion ensued.
with the result that the Waterman
was told to go to Breslau to get a new
set of teeth. In due course the old
man returned to the scene of his du.-
ties provided with the needful. The
following night the burgermeister sat
up to hear the result. To his astonish-
ment there was no sound Of the whis-
tie at 10 o'clock. nor at IL, nor even
at midnight! The next morning he.
summoned the Waterman, to whom he
expressed his Indignation. You have.

do you not whistle as before?'' In a
voice of humility the old chap replied:
Yes! l have got new set of teeth Z
