Wednesday. the Goth day Of Janu-
airy, will be the 59th anniversary
Of the birth Of William Mckinley.
During his eventful and useful life he
was very fond of and took wonderful
interest in children. ! take the liberty
of suggesting that this day be known
as Mckinley day" and that at least
some portion of 1t be set aside by
all the schools Of Maine, as will be done
in other states Of the union, for special
exercises appropriate to the occasion,
also that each pupil who desires to do
so be given an opportunity to contrib
ute his or her mite to the Mckinley
memorial fund. l also suggest that on
the Sunday next preceding the 18th
of January, the churches pay appropri-
ate tribute to the memory of our late
President and that those who wish 1t
may be given an opportunity to help
on with their contributions this great
work that shall testify through the
years to come to the love and esteem
in which the American people cherish
the just fame of one of the greatest
men our country has ever produced.
The people of Maine should feel
pride in having their State take an
honorable and creditable position in
this great work. and should do their
full share in making it possible. Con-
tributions may be sent to the member
of the county committee or forwarded
direct to the treasurer, William H. Dow
at Portland, Maine.

river. We started late one Saturday
afternoon. There were five of us and
we went right along going up. the

capital we passed the rest Of the af-

bridge at six O'Clock. 1t had begun
to snow and by six o'clock, the

devious and only two of the boys had
| shown up. 1t being late. we decided to
start home without the others and
buckling on our "steels'' we started for
six mile skate in the snow. It was
pitch dark. The darkest kind of a
night l think l ever saw. We got on
fairly well. We were not fresh by any
means. l Was famish..1. My skates
did not feel comfortable and wished
many times that we had come down
on the electrics. We got to the Halo
well boom all right and kept on down
the river. On our right was Browns
island which we had to pass and in
doing so we had to keep well over to
the Randolph shore as all around the
island it was open and huge air holes
We're to be found all about the island.
we were skating treble, each had
his hand on the others shoulder and
we managed to get along in pretty
good style.
"A landmark we had spotted many |
times was the big electric lamp on the |
Farmingdale shore and as it came into |
view as we rounded the turn we all |
kept. we thought, away over to the left. |
but we were not over Tar enough Tor |
almost without the slightest warning |
the man on the right sank down |
through an opening in the ice. We
were brought up sharply. The mid
die man made a grab for Billy but |
failed to connect and our hearts were |
in our mouths as we thought of poor
Billy struggling in the icy water
BILLY had caught hold of a piece of
ice and was hanging on for his life.
Cautiously we approached the edge.
We could not see him. All around us
and in front of us we could hear the
ice breaking off, while a sudden buck
ling would start the sweat on our fore
heads. But we got hold of him. The
middle man lay flat on his stomach
and wiggled over to the hole, while l
held his leg in a grasp of iron. Soak
ing wet. cold and scared Billy was |
dragged from his perilous position. He
was freezing and we started in to
skate the last two miles as l never
skated before or since

Memorial Post, No. AL of Cleveland
Ohio, has applied to the citizens committee
on the forthcoming encampment of the
Grand Army Of the Republic for accommo-
dations during the period of the reunion in
October. The roll of this body, which in
cludes the names of Senator Hanna and
many other Ohoans of national reputation,
contains not less than COO names. It is
thought the attendance insured by this
communication will exceed that of any
other single post The application was
signed by Col. O. P. McIlrath.
Mrs. Emma Wall, national president of
the Ladies of the G. A. R., and Mrs Den
organization, called at headquarters this
morning with Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey,
chairman of the woman's auxiliary COM
mttee on the encampment. After an ex-
tended conference with Chairman Warner
and Secretary Buckley it was agreed that
the several receptions to be given the mem
bers Of the various Grand Army and auxil-
larry committees should occur the same
night as that to the commander-in-chief of
the G. A. r.
All requests for bands for the several
parades of the encampment will be referred
hereafter to Chairman E. B. Hay of the
subcommittee on music. A schedule of
| tariffs has been arranged by Colonel Hay
and the charge for band music during en-
| campment week will be uniform.
Mrs. Adde Perkins gave a large reception
on Monday evening at her residence, $40 4,

RIGHTS OF FOREIGNERS
New Law on Subject Pro-
posed by Castro.
TO HAVE CIVIL RIGHTS
WARNED NOT TO MIX IN LOCAL
POLITICS.
In Case They Do They May Be Sum-
marily Expelled From the
Country.
TO HAVE CIVIL RIGHTS

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
CARACAS, Venezuela, March 10, 1902.
The new law defining the duties and
rights of foreigners who may be found
within the territory of Venezuela has just
been submitted to congress by President
Castro.
In substance 1t Is as follows:
Foreigners shall enjoy the same civil
rights as Venezuelans. as determined by
the constitution of the republic. They shall
be considered either domiciled or in
transit
Domiciled persons are all who have ac-
quired domicile in accordance with the pro-
visions of the civil code.
All who have resided within the territory
voluntarily and uninterruptedly for upward
of two years without diplomatic charac-
ter. or for purposes of trade or any other
industry, provided they have a permanent
ly established home. although they may
even be invested with consular character.
All who possess real estate within the ter
r1tory of the republic, or who have estab
iished their permanent residence there.
Foreigners in Transit.
All others found within the republic who
are not included in the foregoing provis-
ions shall be considered as foreigners in
transit.
Domiciled foreigners shall be subject to
the same obligations as regards both their
persons and property as FeneZuelans, but
are not subject to military service nor to
the payment of any contributions in case
of war.
Foreigners shall not mix in the public af-
fairs of the republic nor in anything relat-
ing therto, either publicly or through the
press.
Resident foreigners who violate the last
named provision in whole or in part shall
hni ion, nff 1r -
be subject to the responsibilities, ETC.
which may attach to nationals Foreign
ers in transit who may similarly transgress
the provision shall be expelled from the
country forthwith.
Appeal to Courts.
The penalty for the violation of the last
named provision shall not be inflicted with
out due legal proceedings and there shall
be no resort to the diplomatic channel ex-
cept when, having exhausted all legal
means before the competent authorities, it
clearly appears that there is a denial of
Justice or notorious injustice.
Foreigners. like Venezuelans, have the
right to claim from the government by way
which might be occasioned to them in time
of war by legitimately constituted authori-
ties, but they cannot claim compensation
for loss or damage by the agents of armed
bodies In the service of any revolution.
A previous decree concerning the duties
and rights of foreigners, and the executive
decree of July 80, 1897 which relates to the
meddling of foreigners in the electoral bus
mess of the country are repealed.

Washington, June 6.-Secretary Root

blegram from Acting Governor Wright
of the Philippines:
Manila, May 20, 1902 Secretary of
War, Washington. With reference to
your cablegram of 18th, outside of Moro
country, only portions of archipelago
not organized under civil government
are Lepanto, Bontoc, Batangas, La
'guna, Principe, Infanta, Mindoro, Sa-
mar and the Paraguan and other small
groups. NO armed insurrection in any
Oh them. No reason so far as relates to
peaceful conditions why civil govern
ment in all may not be now establish
ed. Special governments for Bontoc
and Lepanto inhabited exclusively
by peaceful Igorrotes will be
organized in few days. Will organize
civil government in Laguna immedi-
ately. Batangas, as formerly organ
lied, was turned over to military au-
thorlties by Philippines act No. 49,

only reason for not giving act imme-
NAe'NC OAACNl 10 that many people tnlS
province have only recently returned
to their homes and in order to prevent
possibility of suffering think best to
have military look after them until
date named because latter have per-
fected organization which civil author
tiles lack. Crops now being planted
Will mature by Aug. 1. Whilst Prin-
cipe and Infanta could be organized at
once, difficult to look after them until
we receive vessels now building,
say by Sept. /; few inhabitants and
unimportant. Mindoro and Paraguan
group large islands sparsely populated
and difficult of access without vessels.
For these reasons think best to leave
military temporarily in charge because
they have transportation facilities.
Under Spanish regime Bontoc, Lepan-
to, Principe, Infanta and the Paraguan
group did not have provincial govern
ment, commanded by military officers
and Mindoro was attached to Marin
duque. : Mai. Gen. Adna r.
