Where Briefness Went.

A Southern newspaper man, OF not a
great amount of experience outside OF the
small city In which he resides, tells a
story that may furnish lesson to many
beginners and to not few men who con-
slider themselves pretty well versed in the
business.
The man who occasionally sent matter
to one OF the New York dailies, picked up
last summer what seemed to him "big
story. Hurrying to the telegraph office
be asked the telegraph editor: "CoIumn
story, and so on. Shall sendg"
The reply was brief and prompt, but to
ths enthusiast unsatisfactory. si5end
600 words" was all Ii said.
Cant be told in less than 1901 he
wired back.
Before long the reply came. "Story of
creation OF world told In 600. Try it.s
There's valuable lesson here.

Can't Visit I,.mo,ne

Upon the recommendation OF Rsar-Ad-
mirsl Bradford, chief OF the bureau of
equipment, Seeretary-ofwar Moody hiss
declined longer to permit naval attaches
Of legations to visit government cosiing
stations.
This action was caused by request
the new coaling station at Lsmoine.
Hitherto there has been no objection to
foreign inspection Of coating stations, bot
the time has come, in the opinion Of Sec
rotary Moody and Rear-Admlral Brad
ford, when this government should be
more secretive. Foreign governments do
pot permit American naval attaches to in
spect their coaiing stations.

Enthusiastic and heartfelt as was
the celebration of Independence Day
in this country, this year, there Is rea-
son to believe that IL was even more
80 in the Philippine Islands, where,
for the first time, the great day was
really celebrated by all the people in
recognition OF the accomplishment of
that liberty for which they struggled
in vain for so many years. By happy
combination of circumstance and d.
rection, the Fourth of July saw the
last of military rule in the Islands and
the inauguration OF civil government.

Hardwood Factor, for Ellsworth?

The probability Of the establishment
ia Ellsworth of a wood working factory
by e. B. Estes 4 sons, of New YORK, is at
the present time very large.
Ii is understood that satisfactory ar
rsngements can be made with b. e. Cole
& Co. for the purchase OF their building,
locally known as the upper shoe factory.
Messrs. Estes hsve been assured that he
quality aud kinds of wood required can
be furnished, and as this is perhaps the
finsl question to be settled, there seems to
be no obstacle In the way OF the consum-
nation OF the deal.
A personal letter from the firm to an
Ellsworth man. received few days ego.
contains this significant sentence:
''Eseryt hing seems TO favor our locating
one OF our wo cd working factories in
your town."

Under the provisions of the Philip
pine bill enacted by the fifty-seventh
Congress the great privileges of the
''bill of rights are conferred on the
Philippine people, and there are none
who will not rejoice at the blessings
thus bestowed upon them, unless, per-
haps, ii be few disgruntied politi-
clans whose dire predictions have been
disproved, and whose attempts to
make political capital out of the
efforts Of the administration TO estab-
fish peace in the Islands have proved
a boomerang. BY the provisions Of
the amnesty proclamation of the Pres
ident, all political prisoners in the
Philippines were released, and the
way paved for the liberation even of
those who had offended against
society in some minor form.

Senator Hale bore well In mind to the
very last OF the session the Interest OF the
people Of the sout hesstsrn section Of
Maine in having some law enacted that
would prevent the killing OF fish by sx-
plosives. Ii was through his efforts some
months ago that an investigation OF the
illegal fishing on the border line Of
Maine and New Brunswick was inves-
tigated by United States District At
torney Dyer, OF Portland.
With that report In hand, Senator Hale
pressed for the introduction OF q bill and
favorable report thereon, the work
being done at his instance by Senator
Bard, OF California, because Senator Bard
Is q member OF the Senate committee on
fisheries, and therefore could more APP
proximstely urge the enactment OF such
legislation.
The bill, which was called up and
passed in closing hours at Senator HaIe's
instance, Is general in its character, apply
ing to the killing OF fish, whales, por-
poises and other sea animals by explosives
anywhere In the waters OF the United
States. But the report on the bill which
Senator Bard filed contains statements of
the active interest Senator Hale has taken
in the question, aud mentions the ex-

Ex-Gov. Bnrleigh, before he left wash
ington, received several more inquiries
FOR fish from the ash commission here,
TO be used In stocking the waters of the
third district. One OF these was from A.
c. Crockett, OF Liberty. who wants acme
rainbow trout 10 plant in CarxiIl lake.
He tells how .Ss lake Is fed by springs,
has very cold water, and II fins home
for this species OF trout. He tells also
how the rainbow trout now there have
grown wonderfully well, 20 thst catches
OF fish weighing between four and Eve
pounds are reported ia recent times.
He makes application for more OF the
rainbow trout, and Gov. Burleigh wiiftry
TO get them for him. Tie has taken very
lively interest ever since he came to Con-
gress In planting as many ish every year
in the lakes and ponds of the third dis
trict as possible.
Senator Hale has been active in the
same work for many more year., sending
out annually large quotas OF fish, all the
way from fry to yearlings, to be placed in
eongenial waters where they would prove
a temptation to sporfsmsn from all parts
OF New England.

WASHINGTON, ID. C., July s.-Quite a
number OF Maine institutions OF the
educational, charitable and benevolent
classes viii receive checks for consider
able sums from the treasury OF the
United States at an early day. This win
be by virtue of the bill which passed
Congress, and which was approved by
the President June n, authorizing the
refunding OF legacy taxes in several In
stances where these taxes were collected
under the war REVENGE act on legscies to
the institutions Of the character men
toned.
There were several large payments on
secoaut OF this war revenue act by
churches. colleges, and educational and
benevolent institutions In the lower tier
OF Maine counties, and Il will be only q
question of few weeks when this money
will be refunded. Some of the amounts
are as low IS $50. and some amount to as
much az 500 or 500.
