Granite Strike Ended.

An Ellsworth dispatch of the ST
says that word has been received there
that the big strike of the granite quarry
men, which has been in progress since
the first Of May, had been settled, and
that the men would return to work i'm
mediately. May 1st the GuarTyneii
presented scale of wages which they
desired the proprietors of the Chase 4
White quarries at East Bluehill and the
Stonington quarry and the Black Is
land quarry to sign. The proprietors
refused toaccept it, and in return pre-
Sented ID scale. This scale was refused
and the men went out on strike After
a time the Stonington men accepted
the terms offered by the proprietors for
a period OF one year. The Black Island
men went to work for the old scale, but
the men at East Bluehill held out.
Aug. 9Th Il conference was held be-
tween superintendent johnson of the
White quarry, Supe rintendent Hinck-
ley of the Chase quarry and Messrs.
Marston, Chandler and Hinckley, rep
resenting the quarrymen. The result
of the conference was that the men
agree to return to work at the scale of
fered by the proprietors.

military frock coat He had a great
adherence of it. Now General Grant
was man and an able general; and it
has been suggested that Grant may
have considered that a general could
possibly rise to a position in which he
did not need to depend upon much
ornamented uniform to enforce his au-
thority or preserve his dignity.
Who ever heard of an abdominal
statesman rising in his seat in the COM
mon council, for the purpose of making
a speech, without first buttoning his
coat to his chin? Who would care a
snap for his bombast and buncombe if
he did not assert himself as a buttuned
up man?
Shore all public functionaries, mill
tary officers, and civic dignitaries of
their frock coats and their OmnlpOtent
buttons and what could possibly pre-
vent this country from going to the
''demnition bow-wows:' Nothing could
prevent this catastrophe nothing, but
an Improvement in the material which
such buttons button up.
Mighty as is the power and influence
OF buttons i'll the cases already cited,
the list is not yet complete, for lhl-
doubleday, one of the greatest trlumphS
OF the present age is the Murphy but
ton. BY means of this ingenious lit
tie contrlvance it is possible to afford a
quick and ready outlet Cor the bile
stored up i'll an overdiStended gall blad-
der 50 that the damned up gall can
quickly pass out of the body per rias
ndtirdles.
In fact this is about the only button
that Is not more numerous than 1t
ought to be, for since we see every day
how egotism, self-conceit and assurance
are able to quickly force their possesSor
to the front, while merit, thoroughness
and ability lag behind III the rear, we
realize that any device which affords a
ready exit for What is vulgary called
gall ought to come into very general
use.
The sum Of the goodness. kindness
and unSeltlShneSS gong about unbound
and untrammeled. only awaiting oppor-
tunity to pour itself out for others, is
more than enough to make one proud
that he belongs to the human family.
The amount of self-sutliciency, egotism,
specious pretence, and false dignity go
ing a about masqueradlng behind shut in
exterior, is sufficient to make one wish
that some men had been born peac0cks,
and then they would have been expect
ed to strut around and display theil
plumage Many men are trying to pass
for what they are not, and to perform
duties for which they have no fitness.
and such hypocrites hide their defects
under Il fair outside. Therefore, as 4
rule, beware of that man, in whatever
calling he may be found. who maintains
his reputation by urging his buttons at
you at every available opportunity.
The moral of this tale is obvious

if needs You must, try and button ul

Americas Grand Spa and Famons Resort,
Saratoga Springs.

Midsummer is at hand, and the vacation
season at the many summer watering re-
sorts is now at its height. Especially is this
so of Saratoga, the grandest, the most re-
freshing and the greatest of all American
summer haunts.
The cooling springs are gushing forth
with their supply of healthful mineral
water; the magnificent and palatial hotels
are scene of never ending life and gayety,
while from the large verandas and spacious
halls floats the pleasant strains of delight
full music. And the nearby lake now pre-
sents an ideal picture, situated as it is in
a valley with receding hills on both sides, a
clear, blue sheet of water with a surface
dotted here and there with boats and
yachts.
The famous race track is scene of ami
nation and enthusiasm. Here are the million
aire followers of the race tracks, the pick of
the country, the fastest If horses, and always
intense interest. Here one can view typi-
cal American race track scene, and the
greatest sport in the country with first
class patronage.
At this particular season of the year,
Saratoga is alone; she distances all rivals
and has enjoyment galore.
Saratoga can be reached from Boston via
the Boston & Maine Railroad, which runs
through cars from Boston via the Fitchburg
Division.

The Maintenance OF Bridges.

An enumeration of bridges in the
State of Maine has been going on, and
the returns are now coming into the
office of the State Assessors. The OBJ
ject is to ascertain the number of all
bridges over fifty feet in length, with a
view to changing Che system of bridge
construction and maintenance. Now
the towns maintain the bridges within
their limits. But it is easy to see that
a town through which large and tur-
bulent river or stream flows is liable at
any time to be put under great bur
den of expense to maintain conven-
fence which is used to some extent by
people of other towns A system by
which the larger bridges should be sup
ported by the county would help to
equalize the burden, and perhaps cause
it to bear as evenly as it is possible
with charge of that sort.

What Is Maine?
The State of Maine. What is she:

The State of Maine What is she.
Is she no more than vast tract of
land and water: is she merely 80 200
square miles of territory: is she alone
a measure on the globe of few hundred
miles of latitude and few hundred
miles of longitude; is she simply a col
lection of factories and storehouses and
people; is she solely place where the
sun shines and the rain falls?
Is she nothing more than the arrogant
lord of 3345, 600, 900 in land and buildings,
goods, wares, and merchandise; the
proud owner of great lines of rails,
which brought to her lap s11 900, 600 in
l. month; the hoarderof 800, oO0. O00
in her banks; the proprietor of great
shipyards whose tonnage fret the oceans
of the world; the maker OF boots, and
shoes, and paper; the shipper of granite
and lumber, and lime?
Nay. she is more than all this.
Were she only this: did she stand for
nothing but the right of might, she
would deserve little at your hands OF
mine. Not love, nor affection. nor de
votion nor duty nor help. And though
she falter and stumble in the path VIZ
know she shall take; though she shrinl
and halt in the road we know she shall
hold, yet her hopes, her aspirations
her guide, are still held aloft.
she speaks through her constitution
of freedom, of tranquility, of safety
of happiness; her great charter pro
claims justice, and liberty. and equalit,
and independence.
She comes to us with her statutes o
education, of religion, of health; she ap
peals to us in her enactments of NOR
ality, of purity, of temperance.
She heals the sick in her hospitals
she guides the Maynard i'll her schools
she teaches the deaf, dumb, and blind
she protects the orphan of the soldier
! she shields the child without home, thu
youth without friend.
We see the spires of her 1900 churches
we listen to the bells of her 1900 schools
we hear the shouts of her 200, 900 pupils
And we pause. We reflect. VIVA

A River made to Pump its Own Water.

TO make the Kings River OF central
California pump its own water is the
interesting plan presented by b. Lip
pincott, resident hydro srapher of the
United States Geologic u Survey, who
has recently Investigated the possibility
OF an increased use of that stream for
irrigation and other purposes.
The Kings River Valley is one OF the
richest irrigation sections OF the West,
the profits reported from the raisn crop
alone in 1900 from the section near
Fresno being more than -, 600.
Nearly 400,0 600 arcres are already under
cultivation and utilize almost all the
available flow of the river, but fertile
lands remain for which there is not
sufficient water supply; this is special
" true of the lands on the adjacent
foothills of the Sierra Nevada, where
high-priced citrus fruits can be grown
to great advantage. Mr.. Lippincott i'll
his report, recently issued in the series
of Water-Supply and irrigation Papers
No. - Of the Geological Survey, shows
that the construction of reservoirs Tor
the impOundng of Hood waters on the
tributaries would be of value. and he
also suggests Il unique plan for the full
conservation of the rivers water. In
the Hat lands Of the lower valley, COM
monty known as the delta, the sands
and grayelS of the soil have become
thoroughly saturated through twenty
OF thirty years of irrigation, so that an
abundance of water can be obtained
from wells sunk into them. 1t is estl-
mated that over 300 900 acre-feet could
be had from this source annually, or
