An engraving tnerelrOm anu dii extended description will be shortly presented.
 Mir. Duarte very hospitably pressed upon us an invitation to dine with him before starting. which invitation we willingly ac- cepted, and it was nearly two o'clock before we snddled and start ed, with tortuous trail ovcr lofty mountain ridge to follow q distance of ten leagues to Matape, before we could overtake our com panions. We made fine progress over couple of leagues, and then came to q fork on the trail. MT. Kaiser's horse wanted to take the right hand trail. while my mule insisted upon the one to the left. As the mule was supposed to be more accustomed to the route, we deferred to her assumed superior knowledge of the country. and took the route to the left. At the end of forty minutes we came to q stop Tn a box calion from which there was no egress save by the route we came. We retraced our steps, and by pushing our mounts m twenty minutes were at the point where we had gone astray. Just before we turned we discovered that we had lost our camera. When we reached the fork of the trail Mir. Kaiser proposed that he should re- turn and pick up the camera and oyertake me on the road, which he thought he could do before reached Matape, his horse being more speedy than my mule. 50 took up the right trail alone.
 At the end of couple of leagues further, there was beautiful little valley of about twenty acres, with green field, the owner of which made his home in big cave close to the trail. About half d mile above, the trail again forked and the mule again took to the left, surmounting a rise of about three hundred feet. Looking back upon the green field in the little valley below. soon decided that in going down to Suaqui we had seen no such view, and l again returned to the right road but with small loss of time. The mule reemed pos sessed of determination to take to the left at every opportunity, and twice again she went wrong for a little way. But the way she was crowded up that mountain trail under whip and spur was q caution.
 Just at dark I stopped to water the mule at spring near the top of the divide, two and one half leagues from NJ M.tape, and Mr.. Kaiser rode up, his horse all of a lather. He had ridden to point but q mile out from Batuc, where he found the camera beside the road, and had then turned again and overtaken me, riding more than twenty miles in two hours and three-quarters, and overcoming in that time and distance an eleva- ton of more than three thousand feet. To make the ride more un- comfortable and disagreeable for both of Us, there had been drizz- ling rainfall fully half the distance, and we were wet and cold.
 When we crossed the divide the darkness was so intense that it could be almost felt. We could not see the trail, and had to leave find ing our way to the sense of the animals. They were completely exhausted and could move only at

In spite of our efforts we reached the railway station twenty minutes late.

There WAS good attendance of mem
beers and guests, the meeting being the
largest in the history of the organiza
ton.
The question Of taxation was the one
under consideration. +. n. Merrill,
Esq, read paper on the Henry George
single tax project, taking strong ground
against the theory elaborated in the
works of that writer on economic affairs.
He was followed by Mr.. H. A. Dins-
more who read a paper in advocacy of
the single tax theory.
Rev. II. w. Kimball made brief re-
marks in which he alluded to the single
tax theory as fallaey but spoke in sup
port of certain other teachings of Henry
George as containing fact worthy of
consideration and support.
Mr.. r. 7. Patten spoke briefly criti-
cising the paper read by Mr.. Merrill in
several particulars.
Others present spoke briefly but no
expression of the members upon the
issue was called for Music for the occa-
sion was by an Apollo piano player at

At the close President Butler thanked
the visitors for their acceptance of the
that there will be no further meetings

John O. Haines.

The sudden death Of Mr.. John o.
Haines which occurred in Boston on
Wednesday the 10th inst. as given in the
REPORTER, last week, was a shock to
his many friends In this town that
had been his home for so long a period.
John o. Haines was a son Of d. l.. and
Nancy (Vance) Haines of Readheld and
was born In that town 81 years ago last
July. He came to~this town abou. os
years ago and entered into the business
of buying horses for the Boston market,
shipping them to that city aud selling
them there. He was at first associated
with Greeneaf S. Hill In that business
and later, with other citizens of Skowhe.

or more WAS engaged in the livery bust
ness in different stables in this town.
For nine years following $50 he was
employed in the railroad mail service as
route agent, running on the Skowhe-
gan and Portland route.
He is survived by his wife, Alma
(HilD Haines, to whom he was married
December 10, 1870; by one brother,
Robert w, Haines, proprietor of Hotel
Coburn, and one sister, Miss Lizzie
Haines, all residing In this town.
His health had been impaired for
several years and seriously so for year
past, so that he had reduced his business
materially, and made the trip to Boston,
last week, in order to dispose Of the few
remaining horses he had in his stable.
Mr.. Haines was as well when he left
home for Boston as he had been in recent
months, but took cold, and, after being
about the city part of the day Wednes-
day, went to his room accompanied by
Omar Jones, formerly of Skowhegan,
and called a physician who prescribed
for him. But his end came suddenly,
some phase of his illness bringing on,
without warning, heart failure.
His brother and sister left here, Thurs

There is considerable interest mani
fest in the matter of defferential duty on
sugar since the recent action Of the
House Of Representatives and some in
quiry as to just what it is and what eff
feet its removal would have. The def
ferential is a duty of one-eighth of one
per cent between the duty on raw sugar
and the refined article of certain grade,
the duty on the refined being one-eighth
of one per cent higher than that on the
raw product. 1t is therefore for the
benefit of the retiners, and the removal
of the duty is against the interest of re-
finers to just that extent. Ii is not at
all probable that the Senate will allow
this amendment to pass that body. 1t
is hard telling what the Senate will do
with the Cuban bill.

President. Roosevelt has no use for a
soldier who did not do his duty when in
the service. Thursday of last week he
vetoed a private pension bill of lieu
tenant belonging to Pennsylvania re-
giment in the Civil War because the re-
cords of the War Department show that
this officer was cashiered for disobedience
of orders as to going ON picket and that
the disobedence was admitted. "To
inscribe his name on the pension roll,'
the veto message says, "would be to
condone an inexcusable offence by a
commissioned officer, to detract from
the high estimation in which the PEN
sion roll ought ever to be held and do
injustice to soldiers now on that roll,
especially those under the act of June
81, 1890, where an honorable discharge
from the service is a condition prece-
dent to obtaining pension"

A Bangor daily, which ought to be
authority on spruce gum says; The
harvest of gum in Maine is about six
tons in season, which, taking one year
after another, sells for about 60 cents a
pound. This year the collectors will
not get more than four tons every ounce
of which has been spoken for at S1.50
per pound. Ten years ago the large
dealers outside of the state had a habit
of sending agents to Maine and engaging
all the gum they could secure at from
60 to IS cents pound, and then taking
it to their stores and putting the price
up to 81 pound higher. This year
the middlemen will get no opportunity
to make corner on gum.
