ator PIERCE of, Waldo county, but the
granite will be quarried in Maryland
and not in Maine. The Baltimore peo-
pie were very insistent that the granite
for the building should come from their
own. state and as there was differ
ence of only $4,000 in the bids, Henry
Smith & Sons having bid s171,0OO and

the amendment is a proposition to pay

both formerly of Lewiston, but now of
this city, for their services as attor-
neys before the court of claims. 1t is
believed that they will receive about Is
per cent, although the exact figure is
not known. A portion of this sum
will go to Mr.. Carter of Lewiston. who
assisted in the prosecution Of the claim
before the court of claims.
General Cotton will probably make a
comfortable fortune in the space of
f ur or five years by the prosecution of
such claims here. He convinced him
self two or three years ago that the
interest on money raised by the states,
Through the sale of bonds to secure
money for equipping State troops, was
a legitimate charge upon the govern
nent. Risking his judgment on that he
fought the claim of the State of Maine
through the courts, together with the
claims of one or two other New Eng
land states. He succeeded and
favorable verdict was rendered a month
or so ago. The verdict was practically
arrived at six months ago. but the
court delayed an announcement.
Being now a specialist in that class
of law. General Cotton has secured the
claims of a similar character from al
rost every Northern state. His per-
ccntage for prosecuting the claims
range all the way from 10 per cent. to
% per cent. AS the amounts in the ag-
gregate will be several millions, 1t is
easy to see that General Cotton may
himself pocket very comfortable for
tune. which will permit him to retire
from law. if he SO desires. in a few
years and be an independently rich

much more warden service is needed

that the equitable. logical thing to do
is to have a license fee to hunt big

large enough to give us money enough
so we can reasonably protect our big
game from practical extinction.
Those of us who advocate this prop

claim is made that it will kill the

and they are as honest and as sincere
as we are, and so the thing to do is to
find out what is best, if we can, and
then do it if we can.

UNPRECEDENTED STORM.
Little Rock, Ark, Alone Has Loss Of
Over 100000.

Little Rock, Ark. Jan. 29.-The heaviest
losses ever sustained in Little Rock from
q like cause is the result of the terrible
storm of sleet and cold rain which has
prevailed here for the past three days
eliminating, last night. The business
section of the city is a scene of desolation
and business men on every hand are
mourning heavy losses which cannot be
recovered by insurance. The estimated
damage will exceed 100000. including loss
to business. In many instances the loss
has not yet attained it's limit and contin-
ued damage will occur where the accumu-
lated snow and sleet is not removed from
the roofs of buildings.
In addition to the damages by water in
the stores, the main street suffered more
than any other part of the city. In
some parts of the city the telegraph and
telephone poles are all down, pulling trees
and wires with them and forming con-
gealed mass of wreckage. The fall of
sleet amounted to about five inches
Little Rock is practically shut off from
the world The Western Union lines are
down throughout the state. The South
ern Telephone ard Telegraph Co. reports
a loss of $4,000. The Little Rock Tele-
phone Co. has rot line operating in
the city. Most of the wires are broken
and many of its poles are down. Fully
five thousand shade trees were complete
ly demolished.

PENSIONS FOR OLD MEN.

The question has been often asked OF
late and discussed in the newspapers as
to what we are going to do with our old
men. When a man gets to the age Of
gray hairs it is. generally speaking, a
hard matter for him to find profitable
employment, as the demand Of the age
seems to be for men who have the vigor
of youth.
Some Of the railroad corporations of
in most humane way. For example, 1T
is stated In a late issue Of one of the
New York papers that the Metropolitan
Traction Company. Of that city, has
scheme In operation for pensioning its
aged and inflrm employees. According to
the provisions of the plans employees be-
tween the ages Of sixty-fve and seventy
may retire at any time after twenty-five
years OF service. receiving a pension in
proportion ITO the length of service. vary
Ing from twenty-five to forty per cent.
Of the average annual wages for the ten
previous years. The company does not
require beneficiaries to contribute to the
pension fund, the necessary amount being
appropriated each year out Of the earn
ings.
It is said that the company's object In
establishing this department is purely al
truistic, originating in a praiseworthy de-
sire to preserve the future welfare OF
faithful employees who have worn them
selves out In its service.
But there is practical side to the
plan In railroad management part1cu-
larly it is necessary to have men who
are vigorous and whose wits are Keen,
and so as the old employees become IN
firm or incapacitated they are retired 10
the pension list and younger men put IN
their places. This insures good and
safe service, and the patrons of the ROAD
are willing, we believe, to pay their part
of the cost The time will come, no
doubt, when every railroad company IN
the country and every large industrial
CORPORATION will carry forward each year
certain sum of money to the pension
fund and this will come to be regarded
as part of the company's expenses. II
is a cruel thing for any corporation 70
take a man and get the benefit OF the
best service of his life, and when he mas
worn his life away to turn him aor1it
without the means Of support.
We are not in favor Of a pension system
that tends to build up dependent class
but the man who receives pension I'M
der these conditions is justly entitled
TO it. The money which he receives IS
s;mn1v the accumulated interest on his
services.
