foreign commerce today appointed SUBJ
committee to investigate the Chicago river
tunnel question.

contested by Mr.. Adamson with motion to
adjourn and although the hour Of II the
regular hour Of adjournment) had not ar
rived the latter motion prevailed. This ac-
ton is interpreted by some of the friends
Of the bill as an evidence of the unwilling
ness Of the committee to consider the bill at
this time But by others it Is declared that
this Interpretation Is not warranted. The
latter say that the committee adjourned
today because 1t was too late at today's
session to take up the bill.

SALARIES OF THE JUSTICES.
Proposed Increase. Opposed by Mr..
Smith Of Kentucky.


When the bill providing for the increase
in the salaries of certain federal judges in
the United States. including the judges OF
the Supreme Court of the United States,
Judges Of the Supreme Court of the District
Of Columbia and of the Court Of Appeals OF
the District of Columbia, was taken up In
the House this afternoon. Representative
Smith, democrat Kentucky), took the floor
to oppose the bill.
Mr.. Smith made general argument
against the majority report Of the commit
tee, stating that this report urged the In
crease Of salaries on three grounds: First,
the increased cost of living; second, the
greater amount Of work, and. third. that
the judges could not practice their profess
sion.
In answer to the first proposition he de-
clared that the living was not higher to-
day than when the salaries were fixed, but,
II anything. was less. In answer to the
second proposition that there was more
work to be done by these judges, he de-
that question was by increasing the number
Of Judges and not the salaries of the judges.
AS to the last ground that they could not
practice their profession, he declared that
that had always been the case and consti-
tuted argument in favor Of increased
salaries.
Mr.. Smith reviewed the salaries Of the
judges of the Supreme Court of the United
states, stating tnaI they nao Deen increased
from. So, SEQ for the chief justice and $4,000
for the associate justices in the year 1867
to $40. 500 for the chief justice and $4,000
for the associate justices at the present
time.
The salaries of the circuit judges had
been increased from 5000 in 1869, to $4,000
at the present time.
Taking up the District judges he de-
clared that in March, 1863. when the Su-
preme Court of the District was established
with four judges, the salary of each was
fixed at $1,000 Since that time the num-
Der of judges had been increased to six, and
Appeals, he said. were not to be raised in
this bill, but were to remain at $500 for
the chief Justice and $1,000 for the asso-
ciate justices. Mr.. Smith said there was
as much reason for increasing the salaries
of these judges as Of any others in the bill.

and has made her home with her son
since his residence in Melrose.
She had won to her many friends IN
Melrose, to be added to those in her old
home, by her many lovely traits OF
character, and these were never more
fully displayed than in the sweet patti
ence and fortitude with which she bore
her painful illness. She was able to be
carried down stairs on Christmas day
to Join in the family festivities, and
then, all too soon for son, daughter and
grandson, the angel came to bear her
away from earthly suffering to the land
of eternal peace and good will

In their annual report to the COVER

Hallowell recommend the establish

recommendation is as follows:
During the year we have hau t4e

examined by DR.. B. 7. Sanborn OF the
insane asylum at Augusta, ne pro
nounces one of the girls to De mental
ly deranged and on the basis OF tnls re-
port the one pronounced mentally de-
ranged was committed to the insane
asylum for special treatment, ana we
petltloned your honorable body 10 com
nit the other seven to the Massacnn-
setts Home for Feeble Minded, an IN
stltutlOn for which our State makes an
annual appropriation OF S3,ooo. we
were Informed that the Appropriation
was already exhausted by the number
OF beneficiaries previously appointed
to that institution from this STATE. we
must bring this matter before your Sc
rious consideration. Some other pro-
vision should be made for these feeble
minded girls. They cannot advantage
ously, either to themselves or to others
with whom they associate, be kept IN
the Industrial School; there are no pro-
visions for their instruction. their care,
or their protection. They require over,
sight which cannot be given them, and
they become menace to the safety and
welfare of others. Without statlstlcs
at hand, yet we as board are conylnc-
ed that there are in our state consider
able number of feeble minded youth TOT
whom the state should make adequate
provisions by establishing a nome IN
which they would be taught and pro-
tected. Many of these unfortunate
persons are capable of sufficient lnstruc-
ton to enable them to enter into llfe IN
some gainful and useful occupation,
while. if they are left without such
training, they become the helpless VIC
tins of evil minded men and women
and subject to great personal suffering
and distress. Through your honorable
body we wish to recommend to our leg
islature a consideration of this need
which exists in our commonwealth

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Purity is very sharp-eyed in looking
out for impurity.
A woman in rubber boots is as har-
monious as statue i'll pettlcoats.
No woman's feet will ever get cold if
she has handsome fur around her
neck.
The way to praise anything woman
wears is to tell her how pretty she looks
in it.
There is no way of getting out of a
love affair that ever succeeds like not
getting in.
A woman's idea of being homesick is
being home, but having some one she
wants there away.
What a fine Christmas present it
would be for the world to give us a
Christmas without any giving OF pres
ents.
When woman confesses her age she
thinks to let you know how much
younger she is than her younger sister.

The Entrance to the Penobscot River


A New Map Issued by the Geological Survey.
The United States geological survey,
in cooperation with the State of Maine,
recently issued new map of the region
surrounding the entrance to the Penob-
scot river, known as the Castine quad
rangle. The map is uniform with maps
already issued by the government OF
other parts of the State 1t differs
from the charts issued by the coast and
geodetic survey in giving the details of
features on the islands and the main
land, whereas the latter maps are con-
fined almost exclusively to the marine
features of the region-soundings chan
nels, and the outlines of the coast.
Like other maps of the geological sur
vey, the Castine sheet illustrates the
topography or relief of the land features,
giving at the same time in great detail
all roads, settlements and rivers, and in
addition, the elevation above sea level
of all parts of the region shown. The
map is now available at the nominal
government rate.
