THE GOVERNMENT
UPH0LDS BEAUPRE
It Assumes Responsibility
for His Action in Panama
Canal Matter

Washington, Sept. 4.-AdditiorSi IN
strut tions have been cabled Mr.. Beau
pre-. the American minister at Bogota,
reiterating the position OF this govern
meat regarding the canal treaty. The
state department assumes entire re-
sponsibility for every representation
of Mr.. Beaupre to the Bogota govern
ment concerning the treaty, and his
activity in this direction is heartily
endorsed by the president and Sec
retary Hay. Minister Beaupre's latest
instructions advise him that President
Roosevelt will not enter into any en-
gagement with the Colombian govern
ment which will hamper his scope of
action under the canal law. This gov
ernment will not indicate what its
course of action will be in the event
the treaty is rejected.
Mr.. Calvo, the Costa Rican minis
ter spent some time at the state dc
partment in conversation with Secre-
tary Hay about the canal situation.
The visit was entirely informal. Until
September %, when the time for the
ratification of the Hay-Herran treaty
expires. the Nicaraguan and Costa
Rican governments appreciate that it
would be improper for the United
States to open negotiations looking to
the construction of the canal by an
other route unless in the meantime
the Colombian congress should for
mally reject the treaty. which it has
rot yet done.

FAILURE
OF AIRSHIP TEST
The Motor on Langley's Ma
chine Failed to Work
Properly

Whitewater, Va. Sept. 4.-Enorts to
launch Professor Samuel p. Langley's
60foOt man-carrying aeroplane had to
be abandoned owing to the failure Of
the gasolene motor to work properly.
For four hours Professor Charles
Manley the inventors right-hand man,
lahored hard 10 get the machinery into
shape. He was unsuccessful. The
trouble was caused by broken valve
in the engine.
When the signal was given by firing
sky rocket from the house boat to
apply the motive power to the ma
chine Professor Manley tried in vain
10 get his engine into operation. Sew
eral subsequent attempts were made.
Once the propellers were got to going
for FIVE minutes. but the revolutions
instead of reaching 1900 did not ex.
ceed 500 and the work was very ir.
regular. Professor Manley was attired
in light costume when he entered the
aeroplane's cabin. He wore a pair
of white duck trousers. His Jacket
was padded with cork to assist him in
keeping above water at the termina.

The ALASKAN
BOUNDARY MATTER
Commissioners Hold Their
First Meeting in British
Foreign Office
BELIEF that We WILL WIN CASE

London, Sept 4.-The Alaskan boun-
dary commissioners held their FIRST
meeting in the conference room Of tho
foreign Office. Prior to the formal az
sembling, the commissioners met In
their private conference room and Sc
lected Reginald y. Tower, OF the Bri-
tish diplomatic service, to be secretary
Of the commission. J. r. Carter sec
ond secretary of the United States en-
bassy, and MIR Pope, q representative
OF tho Canadian government were ap-
pointed assistant secretaries. Lord
Justicr Alverstono was subsequently
chosen chairman OF tho commission.
II was announced that oral arm-
ments would commence September 49,
anc Lord Alverstone expressed the hope
that they would be finished by octo-
Der g.
Lord Alverstone. after formally an
nouncing that the commission was in
session, asked counsel when they de-
sired to begin the oral arguments. Sir
Robert Is. Finlay the attorney gem
eral In behalf of the British counsel,
suggested that at least two weeks
would be required for preparation to
which Judge John NJ. Dickinson rep
resenting the American counsel, as
sented, though he said the American
counsel would be ready in a week
Lord Alverstone asked when the oral
arguments would be finished, and At
torney General Finlay suggested Octo-
Der 10. but his lordship remarked that
he thought q a'shorter period was ad-
visable. and October was fixed upon.
The commission decided to sit Eve
days per week, commencing September
Is. and excluding Saturdays, and 10 be
in session from IL a. m. to 4 p. m.
daily and granted permission for a
limited number of representatives Of
the press to attend the sittings.
In order that the presentation Of the
cases may be exhaustive, it has been
arranged that three of counsel for each
government shall make arguments, the
British opening and being followed al
Tentatively by Americans and British
the former securing the advantage Of
delivering the closing argument.
The commission then removed the
injunction of secrecy on all documents
hitherto exchanged. and the sitting was
adjourned the commissioners, agents
and counsel proceeding to the Quad
rangle, whore they were photographed.
IL is the general belief that the
United States cannot lose. The three
American commissioners viii probably
favor the United States, the same as
both Canadians win favor the Domin-
ion. and the result therefore depends
upon the decision of Lord Alvcrstone
If he agrees with the Canadian conten-
tion there will be a deadlock. The re-
suit may be a compromise 10 has been
suggested that If this happens America
may take the whole of the disputed
territory and make a substantial money
payment TO Canada.

Regarding combinations. Mr.. Hill
said: Il do not find anything in Holy
Writ which contemplates the accumu-

don OF monopoly in business. or any
thing that authorizes the watering CT
any stock except live stock upon our
farms. or anything that justihes the
enrichment Of men except through the
old-fashioned and scriptural method Of
earning that which they shall possess.
The tremendous combinations of cap-
ital which have been formed in recent
years. whereby the price OF living has
been unduly enhanced. the multitude
of schemes which have been devised
10 control the channels and avenues Of
trade. the unreasonable restrictions
which have been imposed by statute

MARY interest OF those who ostenta-
tiously style themselves the captains
of industry. are largely the modern
creations Of able and designing men

Washington, Sept. a. The long
drawn-out Miller case at the govern
ment printing Office is nearing an end.
and the discharge of Foreman Miller
may be looked for any day. in the opin-
ion Of officials who have been follow
ing the case. Il is said that after the

prevent Miller's retention in the gov
ernment printing Office, Miller filed
counter charges Of importance. These
were referred to Mr. Garfield. commits
sioner Of corporations in the bureau Of
commerce and labor. and IL is said that
he finds the charges made by Miller
not sustained. It is said President
Roosevelt is anxious the matter shall
be disposed of and publicly announced
before Labor Day. when he is to make
a speech at Syracuse. Mr.. G-rfeld and
also Secretary Cortelyou. who have had

DIRECTORS ARE
NOT RESPONSIBLE
Judges Hold That the Newark
Trolley Officials Are Not
Guilty
ACQUITTED BY ORDER OF COURT

Newark, N. j., Sept 4.-Chief JUS
tice Gummere. in the Essex county
court Of oyer aud terminer, announced
that he had decided TO grant the
motion for the dismissal of the indict
ment for manslaughter against the di
rectors and officials of the North Jer
sey Street Railway Company, who
were accused Of having, by alleged
neglect Of their duties, caused the
death of Ernestine Miller. Miss Mil
Ter. who was a high school pupil, was
killed with eight others in the Clifton
avenue crossing accident on Febru
airy 10.
Instructing the jury to find a verdict
Of not guilty, the chief justice said
that IN order TO hold the defendants
criminally responsible it must be
shown that they had failed to perform
some specific act This the sta.e had
failed to do. he said.
The chief justice then went on tc
state that the claim of the state that
the deraillng switch is universally in
use was not proved, us statistics
showed that less than 10 per cent. OF
the trolley crossings over steam rail
road tracks were provided with de
railing switches. That, the chief jus
tlce said. left 1t question whether
other safeguards were not equally
good.
The chief justice then referred to
the rules of the North Jersey Stree
Railway Company as laid down TO Its
employees as sufficient safeguards un-
der ordinary circumstances If they
had been carried out. He said that
from the evidence it was apparent that
If sand had been used, as called for
by the rules: had the car been stopped
so feet from the crossing, as the rules
called for, and had the conductor gone
ahead to the crossing TO signal the
motorman, the accident would not
have happened.
Justices Van Sickle and Dixon both
concurred in the opinion Of Chief JUS.
tica Gummere.
The jurymen announced a verdict
of not guilty without leaving their
seats
The defendants were John D. Grim.

Philadelphia; E. F. c. Young. of Jer-
sey City. and Dr. Leslie D. Ward Eli

then there was the usual pause. This was

Base Ball.

Apologies to the June Bugs. The
Democrat stated last week incorrectly
that they were defeated at West Paris on
Saturday, the I'd. The figures were cor
rect, but the June Bugs won the game,
10 to 4, instead of losing it. The incor-
rect report, which was accepted in good
faith by the Democrat, was the result OF
a little "fooling" on some ones part.
Paris High School defeated the Old
Timers in game Saturday, which was
interesting up to the last of the eighth
inning, when five base hits and four
errors Melted the High School S runs.
In the Old Timers half of the ninth,
they were unable to score, and so suffer
ed defeat by score of y to 4. The
High School team was to play Gould's
Academy, Saturday afternoon, bnt the
Bethel boys failed to put in an appear
ance. so they arranged the game with
the Old Timers.

The New School House.

After going over the bids for building
The new high school building at South
Paris, and carefully eliminating, under
The personal supervision of the architect,
Mr.. W. r. Miller, of Lewiston, and a
practical builder, Mr.. Charles Fl. Adams
of Norway, all that could be taken out
without injury to the structure, the
committee find that owing to the ex-
trcmely high price of materials and labor,
they cannot complete the building as de-
signed by the architect and place therein
modern and improved system of heat
ing, plumbing and furnishing, for the
sum appropriated by the town-eight
thousand dollars.
Under these circumstances the COM
mittee feel that they want to be entirely
fair and honest with the town and will
not go ahead and incur debt without a
vote of the town; therefore they have
petitioned the selectmen to call town
meeting on Saturday, May 10th, at one
O'Clock in the afternoon to see if the town
will vote to increase the appropriation
two thousand dollars.
At this meeting the building commit
tee will be prepared to present to the
town detailed statement of its work
and the findings it has arrived at. This
statement will cover the subject COM
pletely and show from bids received for
the erection of the building by reliable
contractors, and careful and conservative
estimates for the heating, plumbing,
furnishing and water supply, by compe-
tent specialists, that the building can be
completed aud furnished in thorough
and substantial manner for the additional
sum asked for.
The committee have sought to get a
sound, thorough and enduring building,
without investing in unnecessary orna-
mentation and after most searching in
vestigation they have become satisfied
that two thousand dollars in addition to
the present appropriation will accomplish
that object, besides paying for three
acre lot of level land, properly cleared
and graded, within six minutes walk of
the square in South Paris.

Thurston's Mill N Bethel Bnrned

At about II A. NJ, on Saturday, Nav 2,
fire broke out in the mill property of j.
A. Thurston at Swans Corner, Bethel,
and in less than an hour the entire prop
ertv was swept away. The people of the
neighborhood came Immediately to the
scene but all efforts to save the property
were fruitless as they had no means for
fighting fire except with what pals they
could procure in the neighborhood; with
the pals they succeeded in keeping the
buildings near by wet down so that the
fire was confined to the mill
Mr.. Thurston had over $4,000 worth OF
bowels stored in the mill which, added
to the value of the mill and the lumber
destroyed, places the loss upwards OF
$4,000. The property was not insured
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Thurs
ton lost his entire set of farm buildings
less than a year ago by fire suffering a
loss at that time of several thousand dol
lars. He has the sincere sympathy OF
the entire community in his great loss.

KEEP THE BALANCE UP.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of health
causes serious trouble. Nobody can be
too careful to keep this balance up.
when people begin to lose appetite, or
to get tired easily, the least imprudence
brings ON sickness, weakness or debility.
The system needs tonic, Graves it, and
should not be denied it; and the best
tonic of which we have any knowledge
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What this medi-
cine has done in keeping healthy people
healthy, in keeping up the even balance
of health, gives it the same distinction
as a preventive that it enjoys as a cure
Its early use has illustrated the wisdom
of the old saying that stitch in time
saves nine. Take Hoods for appetite,
strength, and endurance.
