its inability to hit at critical stages OF
the game.
Mosher occupied the box for Maine and
put up most creditable game striking
out four men and holding his opponents
down to three hits. Fleming served in q
like capacity for Tufts and by using
great head work pulled successfully out
of several bad holes where single
meant scores.
The features of the game were the
timely sacrifice hitting by Tufts and 4
running catch of a line fly by Towse ii
the eighth inning.
The game:
Stalworthy started things moving for
Tufts by drawing a base on balls and
then stealing second. Clement put sac
riiice to Carr and was out, which ad-
Vanced Stalworthy to third.
Council reached first on a bunt. but
Stalworthy was held at third. Chapman

Judge Foster questioned Ford closely
regarding the manner in which the

Tie approach to the conspiracy
charge of which rumors had been rife,
was gently made and Ford was led to
testify that he and others had agreed
between themselves to pool in the

During the cross-eXamination Ford
stated that during the protected

had seen his barroom SO crowded that
it was almost impossible to move.

of the opposition seemed to please
Sheriff Pearson, who occupied a seat
within the bar enclosure near his ac-
! cused deputy.
Judge Foster attempted to draw an
admission from Ford that he had Of
fered an official 81 or $1.50 per barrel
for permission to sell beer in this city,
explaining that he wished to discredit
statement made by the witness that
he had paid Plummer commission OF
only 80 cents per barrel, but the county
attorney objected.
Michael J. Callahan testified that he
had collected money from liquor men
and paid it to Ford with the under

After several messenger boys had
testified to having carried messages

Iloulton, Me-, June 4.-(SpeciaD.-
The Maine Hotel Proprietors' Associa-
ton arrived at Houlton at 1910 p. NJ,
Wednesday.
After most enjoyable stop with ].
+. Randall, proprietor of the Great
Northern, where, after dinner a compli-
mentary dance in honor of the asso-
citation was given, most comfortable ac-
commodations was provided. In the
morning. the Great Northern Paper Co.
invited the association to visit its plant
ana a majority of the members awaited
themselves of the invitation. The
Great Northern Paper Co. employs
some 400 people and the town of Milli-
nncket is the child of this company.
Three years ago, last month, the first
blow was struck, and. today, the town
has a population of 5000, one Of the best
hotels of northern Maine, a school
house costing SO, 900 and accommodate
dating 500 pupils. two churches, public
water works. a fire alarm system, and
the largest paper mill in the world. The
history of this town reads like a ro-
nance. but demonstrates what capital
can do with a definite object in view.
The stop with Landlord Randall of
the Great Northern will always be con-
nectrd with one of the most pleasant re-
membranes of the association. Every
courtesy possible to Conduce to the en-
JGyment of the members was afforded
AZ MillinOcket. Learning Of the case of
smallpox at the Smell house, Houlton,
the directors of the association pro-
cured lunch of Landlord Randall of
the Great Northern. and rations were
issued at Houlton at l p. NJ, which
vas further contributed to through the
of New York. through o. A. Kneeland
of the Hailowcll house, HallOwcll.
After lunch the association took
bucihOards ana drove through the
principal streets Of Houlton, and after
wards crossed the Canada line, visiting
Th0mpson's Boundary Line store,
I!oulton. where many of the party had
thcii first experience on foreign terri
tory.

peers of their profession. Seeking only
to improve the service to their patrons.
their association should be in every
way encouraged. Their secretary. Mr..
Handing, has spared nothing to make
this excursion a decided success, and
his efforts are frankly appreciated by
the association.
Although the weather has been very
bad. stiH the utmost Eocdfellowship has
prevailed. and the hardships of the ex-
cursion have been as bravcly met by
the ladies of the excursion as by their
manly escorts We will leave here at

route for such a canal would be
better but as to the necessity
for some canal there is prac-
teal manimity: almost daily there are
accessions to the numbers of congress-
men and Senators who favor the
Panama route, offered to this country
by its French owners at forty millions
of dollars. less than one-fifth of what
they had already expended on it. The
route is practicable, and with less than
one hundred and eighty million dol
lars. and ten years of labor, the United
States can sever the two continents of
the Western hemisphere, and bring the
fer east to our very doors. The voyage
to the Orient will thus be so greatly
reduced that commerce on the Atlantic
seaboard will be more stimulated than
by any other agency within the power
of man, while the effect on our State,

ond to none in the world. will be be-

sist our party in every way, through

Turning to affairs of more domestic
nature. let us look for a moment at the
question of trusts, of which we hear
much in these days. There are trusts
and trusts. There are trusts that are
natural monopolies: there are trusts

the ruins Of the old Richmond man

and desolate and a terrible contrast
to the green of the rest of the island.

distance Of Soufriere l made landing
at one of the villages, where I left my
boat and proceeded up the Wallibou
valley in the direction of the volcano
district. I found that at least a third
of the island had been devastated and

i'll from the Barbados. The vessel
arrived on passed Pelee before dawn
and there were no signs of eruption
then. | went ashore at Fort de France
first and from there proceeded in a
small boat to st. Pierre.
When | attempted to land at the
ruined city | was met by a gendarme
who motioned to me, warning at the
same time that to land was to court
death. | laughed and told him that
didn't matter. l had come to take
photographs. They made no further
effort to stay me. My objective point
was Mont Pelee. If it was quiescent i
determined that would be my oppor-
tunity To the surprise of everyone l
announced my intention of going to
the crater. 1t seemed " me that moth
ing could have been worse than stay
ing in the city. There were charred
and decomposing bodies everywhere.
The place was a charnel and the smell
h1deous. In two or three places were
funeral pyres, where the police were
burning the bodies Of the dead.
There were no paths to tread, one
havi- g to vault from ridge~to ridge at
the risk of broken leg with the first
false step. Finally l emerged from the
city, and, following instructions,
reached MOrne Rouge without a
scratch Pelee was still silent. l had
been told that the moment the noun
tain commences to belch volumes of
yelloWish smoke | should be suffo-
Gated This of course was not en-
couraging, but l had seen no yellow
smoke yet and consequently did not
fear. Just past Morne Rouge I came
up with native. | offered him five
dollars to accompany me to the crater
He shook his head and | doubled my
offer, also giving him drink from my
flask He finally pocketed the money,
after nearly emptying the flask, and
we trudged on over the ashes, already
hardened into a solid mass by the
heavy rains. The path we followed,
had the appearance of a cement side
walk of the old-fashioned type. But
for the native, l should scarcely have
been able to accomplish the perilous,
withal, somewhat easy ascent. He
seemed oblivious to fear and l learned
that he had lost all that he cared for
on earth in the eruption of two days
before. This man knew every inch OF
the ground, as he had been a guide
all his life, his living having been
made by escorting visitors to the is
land to the crater. AS we went along
he occasionally scooped into the

dreaded yellow smoke approaching us.
How we made our way back to Morne
Rouge l cannot say. Terror seemed
to lend wings to our feet and when
at last left my companion behind and
flew for my boat it looked to me as
if the yellow demon all but had me in
has grasp. A few swift strokes with
the oars and | was out of danger. On
the following day, after a good rest,
returned to st. Pierre in the morning
and spend busy day taking pictures,
but l had no further desire to risk my
life at the crater, especially as my
one picture developed an excellent
view of the volcano in a state of semi
eruption.
Zone of the first pictures I took
upon my return was that of the market
place of st. Pierre. To those who
knew this scene of constantly chang
ing life and color before the cata-
clysm the dreadful desolation of that
picture, showing not one building
standing, discloses fearful contrast,
1t was the first taken.
Another scene which I shall never
forget was the view of Rue Ouevlis
one of st. Pierres leading streets,
with a number of bodies lying in the
foreground of the picture, showing
exactly how the poor victims of Pelee's
wrath had been struck down. The
picture was taken before any ATTEMPT
mad been made to clear up the wreck
age.
Another scene of desoIation was
shown in the view of Rue Victor Hugo
which also was photographed Before
any clearing away had been done
This was one of the principal business
centers OF the city where were located
many of the most important Offices.
"One of the most pathetic of the
views was that showing some of the
poor creatures who had ventured back
to the dreadful city in search of their
beloved lost ones.
/ think the most striking of all.
perhaps, as a human document was
my snapshot of Raoul Sartout, of
whom l obtained literally the first pic
ture at moment when it was feared
that he could never recover from the
results of his entombment. He was
the sole survivor.
Another of the views that I secured
was a scene at Fort de France at the
time when panic resulted from
another threatened eruption of Mont
Pelee and the terrified inhabitants
were fleeing from the town for their
lives.
After the excitement subsidized in
Martinique l went to Kingston, the
stories of the devastation caused by
eruptions of Mt. Soufriere making me
