MARSHALL'S ISLAND.

Less than Eight School Children
What Will State Do with Them?
MarshaIfs island lies about three miles
southwest OF Old Hsrbor, Swans Island.
Ii has been settled more than eighty
years. The land is fertile. There is one
farm, with dwelling house and barns, on
Parade point, the north end Of the island
There are $40 acres OF land.
There sre several coves where boats can
anchor, but all are open to the wind and
sea from some point OF the compass. II
there were a safe barbor here IL would
probably be surrounded by hourishiBg
usn1ug viilage-
As il ia. Msrsbali's island is still an
uhorgsnized township. There j. a family
in the ia fnhouse. and there are severa
camps occupied by fishermen during the
summer.
The State of Maine opened a school here
May Is, 1903, Mary A. Carroll, teacher.
All the pupils we're present every half dsy
and made good progress. School closed
Aug. Z.
Unless another family, with children,
moves to the island, the Marshall island
children will be deprived OF school this
fall, as the law requires the attendance OF
eiguG children. " hieh is more than the
number on the island.
II would seem as though some special
provision should ne made ny the State fer
the education of children on remote
isisnds, when the number Is smaller than
the required eight
The mothers cannot leave their homes
on these islands, and many young chill
dren cannot be sent of to school unless
the mother goes with them. SIZE has not
money to hire nurse to go with the
and care for them.

The Baptist and Methodist Sunday
schools had large crowd on their annual
excursion to SeEb1ry Neck lest Thursday.
There we're three OF Ellsworth's yachts
on the scene and in the afternoon they had
sn interesting race, OF, at least, ii was in
terestiug for awhile.
The yachts were the schooner yacht
aGenie', Capt. B. T SowIe, the sioop
yachts Wave Crest, Capt. Futon J..
Redman and ''MadelIa", Capt. A. ID.
Stuart.
The course wss down around Black
Island, up to the moorings of Jolly farm
and across the bay to the starting point.
The aGeDie" and "Aadella" went off in
god shape, but the ''Wave Crest" was
about minute late in starting.
After rounding the island and on the
run up the bay the Wave Crest1 over
hauled the "Genie', which was ahead, and
LEFT her well astsrp. On coming round the
second stake, Capt. Sowle. seeing be was
losing, brought bis yacht up close to the
wind, stood straight across the bay, and
turned on the gasoline. He left the other
two yachts a. though they we're tied.
There seems to be no doubt In the minds
of those who witnessed the race that
the Wave Crest" would have eros ed the
line well in advance If Capt. SowIe had not
used his power. AS it was the 'Genie"
led by about fifteen minutes when the race
finished. There was no purse. Toe judges
were Capt. John Jordan, Capt. Samuel
Alley and Lewis bennett.
On the start Capt. sowle started to cut
across the "WavesCrestis" bow. Capt.
Redmsn had the right of way and held
his boat straight on her cour-e and came
near running the ''Geuie'' down. As ii
was his iibboom scraped along the mai.
boom of the "s6eni~" aud took of a little
pant.
The people OF Ellsworth look for yacht
race in the near future. when all the Els
worth feet will participate.

Reports received recently from Be-
gotta, to the effect that the Panama
canal treaty viii not be ratified with
out amendment, are causing the Pres
ident and the friends of the Panama
canal no little anxiety. President
Roosevelt, as do most persons sin
cerely in favor of canal and familiar
with all the conditions, regards the
Panama route as by all odds the most
desirable for an interoeeanic canal,
and up to this time il has been be-
iieved that President Marroguin
would lind way 10 effect the ratifca-
ton Of the treaty.
It now appears that the representa-
tiyes Ct the transcontinental railway
companies have been doing yoeman's
work in Bogota, and have succeeded
in persuading the Colombians that the
treaty, as framed and ratified by the
United States, will prove inimical 10
their interests. OF course the slight
est amendment viii necessitate the
reconsideration by the United States
Senate, which reconsideration will be
attended with as great difficulty as
was the ratification.
Senator Morgan, Of Alabama, de-
clares that ne mas his guns primed for
another battle, and that he can talk
even longer in opposition 10 the ac-
ceptance Of the proposed amendments
than he did in opposition to the origi
nal ratification Az will be remem-
bered, only special session with
nothing TO prevent it's lasting all sum-
mer served to discourage the veteran
Albanian last spring, and he will be
quick to appreciate that with presi-
Dental campaign in prospect.
Congress would be unwilling to
prolOng the approaching session for
the sake Of dozen canals. The senator
from Alabama also claims to have
secured even greater support than he
had last spring, and in view of this
dubious prospect the President and
the officials OF the state department
are much discouraged.
