$500 IN LIQUOR FINES
And Other Work Ending Sagadahoc
Supreme Court Term.


Bath, Me-, Dec. 31.-The De-
cember term of superior court for
Sagadahoc county was brought to a
sudden termination, this morning, and
Judge Frederick A., Powers left on the
forenoon train. He will open court
in Saeo. next Tuesday, and it is ex
pected that the session in that city will
be of unusual duration, continuing at
least a month.
The equity case regarding the will of
the late Converse H. burlington of
Bowdoinhan, brought by his only son,
7. II. burlington, was only partially
heard by Judge Powers, yesterday af-
ternoon.
Briefs of the case We're submitted
him by both sides together with all
legal documents, and Judge Powers
will render his decision at some future
date. probably not for at least 80 days.
All the rum sellers indicted by the
grand jury have paid their fines and
costs in full. and the county has real
ICED about $500 as result. The pres
ent term has been a clean sweep, for
nearly all matters left over from the
last term were either quickly settled in
court or outside court, and there are
but very few cases left to the next
term. which will be held in April.

HAD NOTHING TO GIVE.
Excellent Reason for Congressman Be-
ina Out of Seeds.

Representative Gambler of MISSISSIPPI
pi prominent Baptist and successor
to Private Johr Allen, was lamentinS
to the House the other day about his
difficulties in getting sufficient seeds
for his constituents. Il use all my

Just as many more as | can from my

IF the gentleman will kindly inform
his constituents interposed Repre-
sentative Hank" Smith of Michigan.
what kind of seeds they are getting,
he will have seeds to burn"
HAS the gentleman any to give
away" inquired Mr.. Gambler zealously.
eff he has will he give them to me?
If he will will cheerfully and prompt
ly send them to my district
Such as have, give unto thee, "
replied Mr. Smith, dropping waggishly
into a Bible quotation.
Mr.. Gambler began to press the Mich.
igander, who admitted that he was lin
the condition of the spirit that was
going to give the world to the Lord
if he would fall down and Wowrshir
him." Mr.. Smith added frankly that
he had nothing to give. which seemed
to puzzle the Mississippian, who ques
toned farther.

TOO MUCH FOR CROKER.
Saw the Point in "Tom" Reeds Thinly
Yelled AIIusion.

On one occasion the late Thomas b.
Reed and Richard Croker were fellow
passengers on the American liner New
York. Ore of the passengers recounts
one Of their conversations as Mr.. Cro-
ker recently told it to him. 1t was an
unusually raught voyage, and for the
greater part of the time the passen-
gers were unable to be On deck. Mr..
Reed WAS one afternoon standing at
the !eeWard door of the smoking room
sreamiy watching the great waves as
they lifted themselves nigh ard their
white tops curled as if to fall like
breakers on a shore when the wind
would cue off their foaming crests
and carry them off in spray. Mr..
Croker appeared, Joined MIR. Reed, and
interrupted Mr.. Reeds reveries, what
ever they might have been, with the
statement that it was bit rough.
Yes, said the then Speaker, and
SO true to nature. Mr.. Croker. You
see, even the waves have their rake
off
The CLEAN of fun in the big mans
eye died away and he returned to his
revery as Mr.. Croker disappeared In
the smoking room.--New York Times.

MANY PARTS IN A DRUM.
And Americans Are caid to Make the

Americans are the greatest drum.
mers in the world. and they make the
finest drums. Chicago and st. l.Guis
have large factct les, but in these all
kinds OF drums a.e made, most OF
which are of tae cheap variety and
low in price. There are only three
factories in the Jiniied States which
make the kind Of instruments manu-
factured in this city. These drums
are distinct rom tie ctheTs in that
they have sharpness CT tone re
quired only in orchestra and band
work.
The drums that are used in corp
and in military work must have q tone
which is duller, and the dunn musl
not be so sensitive to the touch. Drum
making is a curious industry, and as
complicated as it is curious, for tne
drum has many parts. A drum OF tue

including sticks hooks ard belt. All
material must be OF the best quality.

The Supply of Timber.

The scientific men are always con-
triputing to our anxieties. This Win
ter's experience has given people a
sharp foretaste Of the conditions to
lie when the coal supply is exhausted
end the experts have done some fine
figuring on the date when exhaustion
will come In the present lack of coal,
thousands have resumed the use of
wood. Prof. Fernow of Cornell uni
versity, now tells us that the timber
supply of the land will be used up
long before the coal can be. Indeed,
he allows but thirty years longer for
the country to have a supply that will
meet the demand Possibly he says,
the substitution Of other material for
wood in many uses may give the for
ests little longer life but not for
many years. What is to be dsneo He
recommends that no time be lost in
taking steps to replace the forests,
and in the mean time he would nave
the duties on every kind of timber re-
moved in order to draw as much as
possible from other countries while
our own is growing. Herein is a sug.
geston to the prudent farmer: Do
not sacrifice the wood lot; but cherish
it and start new plantations.
