1t understood that the Berlin Mills
Company have completed their deal with
the Phillips & Rangeley railroad so far
as to make 1t practically sure that a
lumber railroad will be built around to
the north side Of Redington township,
over which lumber will be hauled to
Toothaker pond. The proposed new
road will be about 16 miles long of main
line and about three miles of branch
track. 1t will branch off from the
Phillips & Rangeley road at a point be-
tween the Redington and Dead River
stations. 1t will touch Dallas town,
Lang and Coplin near Greene's farm,
opening up many possibilities for bust

Gov. Hill is gathering material for
his inaugural address. One of the most
important features of this forthcoming
State paper will be the financial exhibit,
which will be the best In the recent
history of the State. During the two
years of Gov. Hills administration the
floating debt of $3.50 900 has been COM
pletely wiped out and there will be a
handsome cash surplus In the treasury
on Jan. l, 1903. 1t is a matter of
supreme satisfaction that such a splendid
showing of the finances of the State
can be made.

1t is probable that Annie Russell
Marbles article on Francis Hopkinson
would be selected by the majority of
readers as the leading article In the
November New England Magazine. II

few were ever cleverer than this signer
of the Declaration-even Ia the infancy
of the press in this country In carrying
forward and completing the work of Sc
cession and independence, and 1t demon
strates beyond doubt the fact that
Hopkinson is well worthy of the place
accorded him In history. Mrs. Marble
has most happy way of projecting the
subject of her article upon the attention
of her readers, and some characteristic
quotations from Hopknson's writings,
including the famous "Battle of the
Kegs" and the fitting illustrations, add
to the interest.

Only
Key
That Fits

We have found that nearlyall the
general medicines that are popular
seek first to promote appetite and
help digestion, then to apply
needed elements which almost all
ailing people require.
Probably iron is the most i'm
portant of these needed elements,
yet it is very hard to give iron so
it will do any good.
There are thousands of keys in
the world - only one or two I'M
lock your door. So we know
of only one or two combinations
of iron that seem to do the work.
By far the most generally useful
prescription we know of is Vinol.
We mention this by name, because
we know what it is made of, how
it is made, and how wonderfully
helpful it has been in numerous
cases in this very town.
Vinol contains the medicinal
qualities of cod liver oil, iron-that-
can-be-digested, and little table
wine. 1t is pleasant to take, and
we have so much faith in it that
we will sell a bottle to anyone
suffering from loss of appetite, a
rundown condition, tendency to
colds, or to weak women and pale
children, etc, and cheerfully give
you the money back if it does not

These Have Been Carried Out on a
Scale Never Before Attempted In
the City-Grand Court of Honor
Striking Feature of Display.


Striking Feature of Display.
San Francisco, Aug 1.-THE grand
carnival of the Knights of Pythias
opened today although the official
business of the order will not receive
attention until tomorrow Thousands
of visitors already have arrived from
the east and by Wednesday morning
it is expected that from $4,000 to 49,
600 strangers will be in the city.
The decoration of the city has been
carried out on a scale never attempted
before.
Tonight Market street will be GOV.
cred by a canopy of glowing electric
bulbs, The grand court of honor at
the intersection of Market, Kearney,
Geary and Third streets is the most
striking feature of the display For
some distance along the curbs at either
side of the crossing, there have been
placed q tall, white columns outlined
with frosted lamps and loops of frosted
clamps interlinking them. In the ecu
ter Of the crossing and 150 feet above
the street has been hung a disc 25
feet in diameter The inside of the
disc Is studded with 500 incandescent
electric lights In the colors of the or.
der-red, yellow and blue-one string
showing the Knights of Pythias' shield
surrounded by red lamps. From the
disc have been stretched in every di-
rection loops $50 feet in length Of
clear lamps, supporting six festoons
with 16 lights each, altogether about
$500 lamps This elaborate affair
is only one feature of the great plan of
decoration.
The Mechanics pavilion, which will
be the headquarters of the knights,
has been almost transformed into a
military camp, with many tents and
thousands of cots in perfect order,
ranged in line The headquarters Of
Major General r. Carnahan, who is In
command of the uniformed forces, Is
the most picturesque place in the pa
viion The generals tent is flanked
by palms and potted plants. Old
Glory flying from the flag staff and a
sentinel marching up and down be.
fore the entrance give a realistic as.

The program for today began at

exhibition of county products at which
the address of welcome was delivered.
The response was by Ogden II. Feth.

Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Aug. 1.-The
correspondent Of The Associated Press
visited Petite Goave yesterday and
found that the town had been entire.
Iy destroyed, there being nothing left
but a pile of ruins.
About 1000 persons are homeless
and are greatly in need Many of
them have sought shelter in the Sim
monds factories near the town. The
French cruiser D'Assis arrived at Pc
tit Goave yesterday with provisions
for the sufferers and returned to Port
au-Prince with 200 women and chill
dren and f5 wounded men. The au.
thorities refused to permit the Fir
minists to leave, fearing they would
go to other points to take up arms
again. Each party accuses the other
of having set fire to Petit Goave, but
the general belief is that General Chi
coye, the Firminist commander, re.
solved to destroy the town when he
saw he could not hold it against the
Fouchardists.
A Port-au-Prince dispatch on Satur-
day last gave news of the burning of
Petit Goave after an attack had been
made ON the place by Fouchardists. Ac-
cording to that dispatch General Chi
coye, who is minister of the interior
in the Firminist provincial govern
ment, set fire to the town and aban-
doned It.

PLAN BY WHICH COAL
STRIKE MAY Be ENDED
Has Been Referred to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
hight or EMINENT DOMAIN

Government Can Seize and Operate
Certain Mines For Its Own Use,
Thus Forcing Operators to Resume
Work In All Mines.
New York, Aug. 11-President
Roosevelt has in his hands, according
to The World, plan submitted by
Martin Dolphin, former president OF
the International order of Railroad
and Commercial Telegraphers, by
which, Mr.. Dolphin thinks, the strike
in the anthracite coal fields could be
ended. President Roosevelt referred
the proposition to the attorney gener'
ais department, and it is now being
considered by H. M. Hoyt, acting at
torney general
This plan is to have the government
exercise the right of eminent domain
and seize certain number Of mines
and operate them for the purpose OF
taking out all the hard coal required
by the government in its various build
ings, on the ships of the navy depart
ment and for all other governmental
purposes.
The right of the government to in
tervene in strike which interferes in
any way with governmental functions
was proved, Mr.. Dolphin contends, by
President Cleyelands action in the
Chicago strike of 1893, when he order
ed out United States troops to keep
the strikers from interfering with the
transportation Of the mails.
In the present case intervention OF
the kind he advocates, Mr.. Dolphin
says, would also break the backbone
of the strike by forcing the operators
to resume work in all the mines.
