Mrs. w. w. Nye,

Mrs. Cora Nye, wife of w. w. Nye,
the grocer, died at her home on lower
Main street, Monday night. Mrs. Nye
had only been confined to her home
since Saturday, when a severe surgical
operation was performed, and the sud-
denness of her death has cast a feeling
of gloom over the whole community.
The operation was thought to have
been successful, and she seemed to be
recovering from the effects of the same
when n sudden turn for the worse took
place, Monday, and she lived but a few
hours after that. Mrs. Nye had been q
resident of this town for many years,
and was therefore very we'll known
here. She attended the Baptist church.
She leaves beside husband, two chill
dren, Roger and Alice, a sister, Mrs
Forest Drew. and a brother, G. NJ
Chapman esq. and a large circle of
sorrowing friends. Much sympathy is
expressed for the sorrowing ones in
this. their hour of deep grief. The
funeral will be held from the late home
of the deceased, at 2 o'clock Thursday.
Rev. Fl. NJ Ives, pastor of the Baptist
church, officiating.

THE RACE ISSUE
Does Not in the Least Worry President
Roosevelt.

New York, Nov. "a Washington
special to the Herald says that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is ready to meet the race
issue. He is quoted as saying:
IF I could be absolutely assured of
my election as President by turning my
back on the principles of human liberty
as enunciated by Abraham Lincoln, 1
would be incapable of doing it and unfit
to be President If 1 could be capable of
it.
Il do not expect to be elected Presi-
dent by the trust promoters who are
lighting for special privileges nor by the
radical labor union men who would
shut out all other men from an oppor-
tunity to work, nor by those who would
close the door of hope against the color
ed man as a citizen. They are all de-
manding special privileges, which can
not be recognized by the President
whose oath of office binds him to exc
cute the laws for all alike and recognize
none as above the law. If I am elected
to this high Office it must be on my
record as the executor of the law with
out favorS or discrimination"
This statement is regarded here as an
expression of willingness to accept Sem
ator Germans race issue challenge in
Maryland, this year, or anywhere else
in any other year.

City Government,

The regular monthly meeting of the
city government was held, last evening.
Roll of accounts No. 23G, bearing a total
of $12,2SO.O1. was passed. Mayor Davis
announced that the $4,000 in bonds
due Sept. had been refunded at 49,
per cent. and sold at par, which he
considered very satisfactory. He also
reported for the committee that ar
engagements had been made with the
Maine Central for carrying the sewer
under the tracks at the upper end of
he yard, to connect the Seavey street
section with the river and that the
sewer had been laid. The agreement
was duly ratified.
A petition for two additional street
lights on Western avenue was referred
to the committee on street lights.
"A petition was received from the Wa
terville & Fairfield Road for location
for the connection with the Waterville
K Oakland and for a turnout in front
of the City Hall square. The company
was represented by Hon. C. F. John
son, who explained what was desired.
On motion of Alderman Reid the petit
ton was laid on the table for one week.

corner of Brook street and Hillside
avenue was referred to the committee
on street. lights, and the aldermen con-
Cured
A petition from the New England Tel
ephone & Telegraph Co. for location
of poles on the Sidney, Webb and Eight
Rod roads, was, granted.
A communication was received from
the Maine Water Co. presenting a claim
for the return of taxes paid in excess of
those fixed by the contract between the
company and the city, and was referred
to the committee on claims.
A petition was received asking the
municipal officers to take part of the
land on Elm street belonging to the
Moves estate, for q site for the public
library, and to have it duly appraised
and it was granted. BY this means a
site for the Carnegie library can be Sc
cured, it is believed.
Mayor Davis discussed the liquor
agency question, describing the policy
that has been maintained under his ad-
ministratiOn. He believed that, while
the sales are not abnormally large. they
are too large for legitimate purposes,
but considered it very difficult to mate
rally reduce them on account of the
many obstacles that are encountered.
He stated that he was inclined to ad-
wise the board that if it believed that
liquor was being illegally obtained at
the agency it should ''cut it out" He
thought it might be well to close it up
for n month or two to see what the re-
suit would be on general conditions in
the city.
Agent Colby was present and explain
ed some of the difficulties of preventing
people from getting liquor illegally.
After the discussion, the aldermen
voted to close the agency for period
of 20 days.

One of the features of the reliability
trials by the London Automobile Club
at the Crystal palace was a dust trial"
At three points in the banked-up cir
cular cycle track half the roadway was
covered with an inch layer of fiourmill
sweepings. One automobile acted as
pilot to the competing car, in order that
the speed. which was approximately
thirty miles an hour, might be gagged,
and as the competing car flew through
the flour two cameras recorded the
cloud of dust" The lesson taught by
the dust trials was that the lower and
more cumbersome the gear and boxes
under the body of the car the greater
is the dust raised.
