ARTS AND CRAFTS.
A Notable and Fascinating Exhibition
by Woman's Literary Club.

The old armory probably never be-
fore held so many bits of dainty handi-
work as it did, yesterday, and Will
again. today. 1t is the "arts and
crafts" exhibit held under the auspices
of the Woman's Literary Club and the
purpose is to show what women are
doing with their hands, to inspire 9TH
ers to do likewise and to teach them
how so far as the limited time Will
allow.
Both sides of the hall under the gal
lery were lined with very beautifully
arranged booths. A large amountNof
the pine was used, the cones beng
conspicuous feature. A large amount
of bunting was also displayed with eX-
cellent effect Each booth was devoted
to some particular branch of handl-
work of women in some part OF the
world.
Thus in the rug booth many beauti-
full samples of this useful art We're TO
be seem In the burned wood ana
leather booth there were other beautl-
full pieces of work, and in the art
booth, the lace work booth and al the
others. In the photo booth some very
fine samples of amateur work with the
camera could be seen. It is utterly
impossible to enumerate all that can
be seen. TO adequately describe all
the articles in any one booth Woula
take columns of space.
But there is one article that deserves
special mention. 1t was in the basket
work booth and was a wooden nat.
Now that may sound a bit funny. but
if you see the hat and have it described
YOU will understand. The explanation
will be necessary, for otherwise the
article would perhaps be taken for
ordinary straw.
1t is made out of narrow strips oil
basket stuff and so beautifully woven
and modelled that its true character is
difficult to determine. This was made
by Mrs. l.. NJ. Talbot of this city, VINO
is SO years old, and every bit of the
work was done with her own hands.
4 small sample showing how the work
was done is also shown.
But this is only an instance of the
many odd and beautiful things that are
TO be seem For anyone interested in
such work the exhibition is certainly q
are treat as there is such a carefully
selected variety.
The booths and ladies in charge OF
them were as follows: Rugs, Mrs. w.
il. Pollard knitting and crocheting'
Mrs. r. j. Patterson: lace work, Mrs.
G. Il. Caswell; embroidery, Mrs. j.
Howard WEIGH; drawn work, Miss
Mary Irish; art, Mrs. w. w. Brown;
photography, Mrs. j. j. Newell; curios,
Mrs. T.. w. Hall; painted china, Miss
Anne Dorr; basketry and bead work.
Mrs. Fred Head; wood and leather
work, Mrs e. c. Whittemore; home
made candies, Mrs. G.. w. Abbott Each
of these ladies was assisted by others
who We're assigned to the different de-
partments.
In the evening the special feature
was the lecture by Professor Edwin A.
Grosvenor of Amherst, on the subject
"Old Deerfield, It's Arts and Crafts.
This was finely illustrated with great
variety of stereopticon views AMI
proved to be unusually Interesting and
entertaining.
The exhibit will be continued, this
afternoon, when it is expected that
there will be a very large attendance.

FRANCE AGREES
To Let Well Enough Alone
Down in Panama.
Assured That Her Interests Will Be
Carefully Looked After
She viii Recognize New Republic and
To- Say "God Speed"

Paris. Nov 23.-Foreign Minister
DelcaSse addressed the Chamber of
Deputies, today, in reply to questions
regarding foreign affairs. He opened
with a statement with reference to a
Panama question and said: 't
II am asked for information concern
has been done. Having received noti-
fication that Panama had constituted
herself an Independent republic we had
only to consider, once had she fulfilled
the necessary conditions for the main
teEance of order, what guarantees she
offered from the French view if we have
not been without apprehension for some
time. 1t has been said at Bogota for
several months that the decision of the
Colombian government prolonging the
canal concession was open to dispute
and that in 1904, the concession might
be declared to have lapsed. If this
theory had ever been put forward Off
ciaily we would not have accepted it.
1t was our strict duty to demand from
the republic of Panama assurance that
all French. interests, including the
canal concession be respected. This as
sufance has been given us in decisive
form. The following being the textuaI
form of the promise:
1.-The republic of Panama solemnlv.
expressly and definitely pledges itself
to V1g1lantly protect Frnch intrsts and
to maintain and interpret in their wild
est sense the contracts made before
Nov. 3. which, referring to the isthmus,
follow the transmission of sovereignty
and bind the republic of Panama All
these contracts are maintained, nota bly,
the contractaprolonging the concession
until 1910"
M. Delcasse continued:
Under these conditions we had only
to follow the example set by the United
States and permit our agents to enter
into relations with all the agents of the
new republic" ,.,ySSE,s y
The declaration was receiyfa4Sth APP
plause. go.
NJ. Delcasse then desesAed thesSeon-
ditions in Macedonia. SHe saM TIE
remedy for the abuses e6mplafdea III
was to accord Macedonia reforms Which
can be applied to the entire popula ton,
without distinction of race or reHgtdh,
to extend to every individual protection
and enjoyment of the fruits of his work.
The reforms must be controlled closely:
Europe, if necessary, would brins'sre-
lief and prevent new revolts. RusstA
and Austria had been charged to- en-
force the program.
In Morocco, the foreign minister said,
France was paramount. A~ ~

The weather clerk seems to be having
q terrible time in making his rain
machine work for usually when he
starts it up it produces snow. 1t
started in we'll on good old fashioned
snow storm, Sunday night, but did not
last long. Then on Monday it looked
like rain but it was awfully slow in
coming. The mill men are doing big
heap of worrying just now for their
water wheels are laboring under great
difficulties. A rousing old rain storm
that would almost threaten a flood
would just about fill the bill and then it
might freeze up as tight as it could.
Just at present there is hardly water
enough in the Kennebec to do a good
sized family washing.

DENIAL FROM .ITALN,
That Colombian Grievance kStect
Attitude Toward Panama.

Rome, Nov. 23--Contrary to state
ment published in the Figaro, Gutierra
Ponce. the Colombian minister to-
Great Britain, is not nosyein Rome. 1t
can be stated that the ttafian govern
ment rejects the idea suggested by the
London correspondent aofN the Figars
that it be guided in it's attitudestoward
the republic of Panama by Its griev-
ance against the republic of Colombia
growing out of the long standing dis
pute with the latter country over the
Cerruti affair. Numerous efforts have
been made by Italy to compel Colombia
to pay the Cerruti indemnity, which
at one TIME wasssubmitted to the arbi-
tration of President Clevelanda Mr..
Cleveland decideT ms favor of Italy,
but Colombia refused to accept the de-
cision on the ground that the United
States President was i'll advised.
The Cerruti case drew out political
agitation in Colombia in 1885. The
case was first submitted to Spain for
arbitration, but the award was not
considered satisfactory
The Italian government and that OF
Colombia agreed by protocol, Feb. 6,
1885. to submit the entire question to
the President of the United states.
President Cleveland accepted the duty
and after lengthy consideration of
the subject rendered his award, March
9. 1897, two days before the expiration
of his last term. Mr.. Cleveland award
ed Cerruti $25O.000, which the govern
ment of Colombia declined to pay on
the ground that the Presidents de-
cision was lacking in finality ana left
several questions open to doubt

The full amount of her account, as an
neXed to the writ, is $500; claiming that
she is entitled to extra pay on account OF
a surgical operation performed of char
acter different from what she permitted
to be done in her house, and of which she
claims she was ignorant until after this
operation she was put to extra labor in

The defence is a general denial of per-

that he ever promised to pay the plaintiff.
and that under his arrangement with the
