Found In q Copper Box.

1t is interesting to note at this time,
when the Massachusetts, Charitable Me-
chanics' Association lie preparing to have
Il genuine old-fashioned Mechanics Fair,
some of the souvenirs that recall the
the earlier days of this association that
have just come to light.
Ga September 30;h, 1857, copper box
was placed in the corner stone OF the old
building of the association, corner OF
Chauncy and Bedford streets, Boston.
Some four years ago the box was re-
moved from the corner stone and taken
to the office OF the association 10 Mechan-
les Building. On the afternoon of July
oh the box was opened in the office Of
the association at meeting of the regu-
lar board Of government.
1t Ia medium-sizad box and shows 10
its outside appearance little evidence
that it had lain more than 40 wears in the
corner stone. Many interesting relics
were found therein, among which was
silver plate 5x8 inches, upon which is en-
graved the names of the officers of the
association and others. Besides this,
there was considerable printed matter /:
copies Of gold, silver and bronze medals,
ouuui Soine3 lopoibs dDu otier pTluteu
data. Among the coins might be men,
toned gold plated medal, being former
ly an award to Palmer & Hall for Tele-
graphic Apparatus Exhibit of 1856, an
1856 copper cent with flying bird on one
side, which is quite a rarity; an 1857
fifty-cent silver piece; twenty five cent
silver piece OF the same date; dime and
halfdime; three-cent piece with six
pointed star on one side. Besides the
above was book entitled "Franklin
Statue Memorial, which was prepared
and printed by authority of the city
council of Boston Ia 1857.
There were also copies of the following
Boston papers for September 30, 1857 !:

World Antitrust Move,

Details OF an important move by Rus
STA, which have evidently been suppress
ed hitherto by the censor, have trans
pired In London. This move is no less
than proposal by the Imperial Govern
ment for an international conference to
deal with trusts. The Russian financial
agent In London, M. Tatischeff, in an in
terview with reference to M. DeWitte's
note, said the proposal had the cZsr's
warm approval. He could not say
whether the United States had been in
vited TO the conference, but he was sure
representative of the government
would be welcome.
Baron de Staal, Russian ambassador
in London, recently presented to the
British government a note from M. De-
White, Russian minister of finance, which
note was sent also TO all the Powers that
signed the Brussels Sugar Convention,
proposing that these Powers should con-
slider, In common, means to protect in
ternational commerce against the arti-
fetal depression of prices, not only by
government measures, such as export
bounties, or the control of production,
but also by the more dangerous pro-
cesses adopted by trusts, private under
takings or cartels, which tend, artifici-
ally, to influence the international mar
ket. The Financial Messenger says M.
DeWitte's note protests against Russia's
being placed on the same footing as
those States which grant export pre-
miums to the sugar industry, and also
contests the right of such States to i'm
pose special taxes on sugar Of Russian
origin, as being contrary to the mo q
favored nation clauses. Commenting
on the note, the Financial Messenger
says: "Failng an international agree
ment, there is only one remedy, namely,
increased customs duties. In proposing
common international action Russia
proves that she would prefer not isolat d
legislation in her own particular interest,
but a Joint agreement based upon the
general welfare and solidarity of all the
States.

Demand for Horses.

According to bulletin of the Illinois
Experiment Station the demand for horses
is excellent today, but they must be bred
for particular market purposes. The diff
ferent market classes are determined by
the size. color, style and conformation to
generally accepted standards. The first
and highest class is the road. carriage and
coach horse. which must be of good breed
ing. from fifteen to sixteen hands high, and
weight of 100 to 1850 pounds. If we'll
matched such carriage horses are worth a
quarter more than when offered singly.
The American cab in this class is one OF
the most prof able, and the animal must
be handsome and stylish. Light grey and
notified carriage horses are the hardest to
sell Of this whole class. The cab horse is
put in second class by the writer of the
bulletin, and the animal must be very use
full, chunky and hardy. but this class is
not bred by itself. but consists of the Gull
ings from the first class. The bus horse
is not a very profitable horse to breed, but
il one Can combine it with other breeds
there is some money in it. The draft
horse is one Of the best breeds for raising,
and the demand is good. But prices vary
SO much that good deal depends upon
the kind OF draft horse the breeder pro-
duces. The cheapest grade sells for $I2s,
and others up TO $500, with some extra
heavy fine ones as high as $3.50 When
heavy draft horses are matched in teams
they bring considerable more. and such
teams have sold for $500 pair. A good
breeder with fine stock to begin with can
make more money in raising the draft and
carriage or road horses than any others.
Between these two he will then often have
culls which can be disposed OF as represent
atives OF the other classes. But in all
horse breeding it is necessary that breed
ing for certain market classes should be
held well in view. The markets are be-
coming more exacting every year, and
horses that cannot be classified in one or
the other class are drugs in the sales.

Maine TrOlieys.

Indications are that the expansion OF
the electric railway system in Maine
within a year or two will exceed any
thing 10 the past. The line from Bangor
to Hampden Is to be extended to Winter
port, seven miles further down the river,
and it is expected that ultimately this
road will be extended to Frankfort,
where are large granite quarries, and
down the bay to Fort Point and Belfast.
The Penobscot Central line, which for
two years has been in operation from
Bangor to East Corinth, fifteen miles,
has this summer been extended to
Charleston, twenty one miles from Ban
gor. Besides the two new roads pro-
ieeted from Augusta, line from Au-
gusta to Winthrop is nearly completed.
Construction of the line between Port
land and Brunswick is being rapidly
pushed, lines are being surveyed In Han
cock and Aroostook and the project OF
the greatest magnitude, one in which
Governor Hill is largely interested, is
for the CONSTRUCTION Of road across
from the Kennebec River to Penobscot
Bay, by means of which passengers may
be carried from Augusta to Rockland
In two hours. That will be great time
for an electric.

Second Ofense.

E. F. Pumlow was brought before
Judge Bachelor OF the Municipal Court,
Monday afternoon, upon a warrant is-
sued on complaint of Eben Adams, al.
leging single sale of intoxicating liquors.
Adams testified that he and Herbert
Hilton went into Pumlow's saloon and
Adams called for whiskey. Hilton spoke
up and said LETS have some beer", and
80 they took beer. Hilton corroborated
this story but could not tell whether 1t
was Uuo or Lager. Adams testified fur.
Their that he had drank whiskey there
within few weeks and had bought a
pint there, recently.
Pumlow said he had been given to un-
derstsnd that he could sell beer but
could not sell any hard stuff and had
sold none. The court told him he
could relieve his mind of that as no man
even the Governor of Maine had author.
ity to allow him to sell any kind of liquor,
contrary to law.
1t came out 10 the evidence that after
the liquors had been drunk Adams asked
the respondent to furnish the cigars, but
he told Adams he could not afford to, and
II was stated that this was Adams rea-
son for entering the complaint.
Second offense" was alleged In the
warrant, the first being conviction be-
fore the Municipal Court in April last,
on which fine was imposed and paid.
The court found the respondent guilty
and under the statute imposed a fine of
5000 and costs and six months 10 the
county jill, aud six months Imprisonment
additional II the fine is not paid. Appeal
to the Supreme Court was taken and
sureties furnished for appearance at the
September term.
County Attorney Cover made the
warrant and appeared for State, and E.
N. Merrill, Esq, for the defendant.

No Soft Coal Strike.

On Friday last at Indianapolis the con-
yention Of miners voted to adopt Presi-
dent Mitchell's recommendations with
few notifications. These recommends.
tons embraced an appropriation of
$4,000 from the funds of the national
treasury for the immediate relief of the
strikers. That sub districts be appealed
to to afford all the help possible. That
all members be assessed 81 per week,
and 25 per cent upon all officials whose
salaries amount to $50 or more. That
an appeal be made to all American trade
unions, for financial assistance. That a
committee be selected from the conven-
ton to draft an address to the American
people, setting forth In proper form the
policy Of the miners organization, and
appealing to the people to bring all pos
sible pressure to bear upon the officers
and stockholders of the anthracite coal
carrying railroads to compel them to
treat considerably the appeals of their
employees for arbitration.
Mr.. Mitchell very forcefully advised
miners who we're at work on contracts
to fulfil their agreement with the opera
tons, otherwise they would forfeit the
support of the public. He said he never
knew a sympathetic strike to succeed.

Death of John w. Phiibrick.

The announcement of the death of
John w. Phibrick, one Of Waterville's
oldest and best known citizens, at SOUR
rel Island, was great shock to everyone,
Friday. 1t was generally known that
Mr.. Philbrick's health was not good but
no one thought there was danger OF so
sudden a death.
Mr.. Philbrick was 81 years old, having
been born in house that was located
near the spot now occupied by the south
west end of the Lockwood mills, March
s, 1921. He grew to manhood In the
town, which was only about twenty
years old at the time of his birth, and
was educated In the schools of the time.
He was married twice, his first wife hsv-
ing been Miss Julia Shepherd Moore,
daughter of Col. Herbert Moore of Wins
low. After their marriage they removed
to the west where they remained about
five years and then returned to Wsterville.
Mrs. Philbrick died In April, 1859 His
second wife was Miss Mary Shaw DIu-
BILE.
In early manhood he was employed by
leading hardware firm. but later be-
came An engineer and worked on the riv-
err steamboats, for a time. When the
railroad reached the town it found him
we'll qualified for an engineer on the first
train over the old Androscoggin & Ken
nebec road. After once commencing
railroading he stuck to it and worked
himself up to a high position. He was
the first master mechanic of the Maine
Central and held the position for 33
years, service that can rarely be equal
led anywhere.
Mr.. Philbrick had q most excellent
business judgement which was recogniz-
ed by his fellow citizens. He was dir
ector in the Peoples National Bank, and
for six years its president. He was
cearhesded and we'll balanced In his bus.
iness dealings.
He spent the past winter In Raleigh,
N. c., with his daughter, Mrs. Charles
F. Meserve, wife of President Meserve OF
Shaw University, returning to Waterville
In time for the centennial. After this
was over he went to Squirrel Island for
the summer and seemed to be enjoying
his usual health. But, Thursday night,
he was stricken with paralysis and died
very suddenly, the announcement of his
death reached Waterville, Friday morn
bg.
Mr.. Philbrick was the father OF four
children and is survived by four. These
are Mrs. Elizabeth Foster and Frank B.
Philbrick of Waterville, Samuel Phil.
brick of Portland, Ore, and Mrs. Fannie

Sugar Beet Acreage.

The last issue of the Crop Reporter
published by the authority of the secre
tary of agriculture, gives the acreage
sown to sugar beets 10 this country for
the current year. According to this re-
turn eleven states are interested In this
industry, there being In the eleven about
260, 900 acres sown to sugar beets. The
size of this industry may be judged from
the statement that this is about the
same acreage as is devoted to corn 10 the
single state of New Jersey. According
to this table Michigan has the largest
acreage, with California second and Col
orado third. These two states represent
over 20S, 900 acres of the total acreage of
less than 100000. The figures run as
follows: Michigan, $4,000; California,
II ,234; Colorado, 39,449. The fourth
state is Utah, with 5000; the fifth Ne
braska, with 1880; and the sixth New
York, with $500; no other state has an
acreage of over 5000. These figures
prove that the beet sugar industry has
been given an Importance that 1t does
not deserve. AS we have shown, only
eleven states are now growing beets for
sugar, and in only two of these is the
acreage sown to sugar beets equal to
the acreage eown to corn In Massachus.

be called great corn growing state

Show IA Light.

Since the days of electric lights we do
not hear OF as many accidents by the
collision oil vehicles on the highways as
we used to hear OF, tut there are still
many sections where there are yet no
electric lights, especially in the agricul-
tural districts, and in such places, if one
has tt, drive on dark night, it would be
we'll to carry lighted lantern, more TO
show others that team is approaching
than to show the road ahead We have
seen the time when the light OF cigar
was warning to us to get out OF the way.
but the lantern would be a surer and
Cheaper way of warning. The light is
more needed 10 these days of rubber-;ired
vehicles than before, and. as in some
places the ordinances require lights on
bicycles, they should also require them on
curiages.

His Quaint Suggestion.

A Frenchman, who appears to have
been of a thrifty turn of mind, con
ceiyed the idea In 1878 that too much
valuable time was being wasted In
cleaning sardines when preparing them
for the market. He found way of
preparing them without cleaning them
and on this he took out letters patent
Apparently he had some slight misgiv-
Ing as to whether the public would be
perfectly suited with his invention
and so In his claim he makes this
parenthetical entry:
Fish put up by this process may be
slightly unpleasant to the customer at
first. but he soon gets used to 1t.

Flood and Storm.

There are immense losses to crops on
the Mississippi river from Keokuk, Iowa,
south, estimated to aggregate Sc 900 900.
The chief food was on the Missouri side
from keOkuk to Louisiana with Canton
and West Quincy as centres OF the
country hurt worse. On the Illinois
side are three continuous levees for forty
miles from Warsaw to Quincy, above. the
water, which are thus far safe, but the
farmers are afraid of crevasses from
Muskrat Hollow, and every rod of the
redoubt Is watched day and night. The
breaking Of levees would food us square
miles in Illinois, and destroy $4,000, 900
to SO 900, 900 worth of corn. The levees
below Quincy are in the same situation
except that they are lower and less firm.
