bill will affect the health regulations or
Chicago or other cities in the state.
All he desires TO do is 10 free the resi-
dents of rural communities from what
they consider an obnoxious law.
Hard on Some Communities.
At the last session the legislature
passed law compelling the registra-
ton of births and deaths with the
county authorities and the securing of
burial permits from the township
clerk. In sparsely settled neighbor-
hoods the law has worked great
hardship, according to Speaker Miller.
and the people in the southern part
of the state have been particularly in
censed over the resulting conditions.
1t so happened that there were three
members of rh last house named Mil
Ter, one of whom voted for the un-
popular law.
q Miller Had to DO the Hurdle.
The present speaker did not support
it, but his political opponents in the
last election accused him of helping
to saddle the obnoxious law on the
district, and 1t was only by doing the
Paul Revere act up and down the
township, telling the voters that he
was misrepresented. that Miller saved
his political bacon. The feeling against
the legislative delegation on account of
the law, the speaker believes, caused
the defeat of Senator Chapman, who
was running for congress in the same
tier of counties.
81 tI,a
The speaker says that THE oh
nOXious feature of the law is that
which compels persons to get burial
permits from the township clerk before
holding funerals. In many cases it is
impossible TO reach the clerk without
much delay. l shall consult with Sec
rotary Egan, of the board of health,
about the matter, for | don't wish to

Views of the State Health Board.
State board of health officials here
say that every physician in the state
will oppose the repeal of the present
law. 1T means the ruin of our et-
ficient plan of securing vital statis-
ties said DR.. Egan. The law can
be amended TO cover the objections
pointed out by the people i'm southern

on second reading in the senate. This

Fleet.

The Elizabeth Palmer Added to the Palmer
Fleet.
The Elizabeth Palmer the largest
five-masted schooner in the world, was
launched from the yard of Percy Il
Small, Bath, August goth. She was all
rugged and nearly ready for sea. The
Palmer is owned by William f. Palmer
owner of the Palmer fleet of vessels,
and is practically duplicate of the six
masted schooner Addie NJ. Lawrence,
with the exception that she is deeper
and has more tonnage Percy & Small,
the builders, intended to manage her
themselves, but took up with the adj
vantageous offer from Mr.. Palmer.
The vessel is of the following dimen-
sions: Length, 1904 feet; beam 1872 feet;
depth of hold, 2S.3 feet; gross tonnage,
306o tons. She is to hail from Boston,
and will be in command of Capt. ID. b.
Smith of Boston, formerly OF the Schoon-
er Rebecca Palmer. She has two-tiered
keelsOn of birch and maple, while the
main keelson is six TERED, and the sister
keelsOns on each side are three-tlered OF
the same material. The stem and stern
posts and also the apron are OF white
oak, while the frames are of hard wood,
with hackmatack tops. The ceiling is
yellow pine and the planking and three
decks are of white pine. All the fast
enings are of locust tree-nails and gal
vanized composition bolts, and on ac-
count of her length and size she is
securely strapped with two waist bands
of steel measuring nearly an inch In
thickness and - inches wide. There
are also five discharging matches, meas
ing 10 feet by Is feet.
The masts are of the best selected
Oregon pine, and about 120 feet in
length. The bowsprit, foretopmast and
booms are also of Oregon pine, While
the other topmastS and gatfs are OF
spruce. She is rugged with wire through
out, and will spread about 5000 yards OF
best quality duck sails. There are three
commodious Lighthouses. The after
cabin is comfortably arranged for Capt.
Smiths private suite, mates room,
bathroom, dining and reception rooms,
guests room closets, etc. In the house
amidships is the galley, stewards and
second mates rooms, meSsroom, car
penter shop and sail room. The engine
room, engineers private quarters and
The Palmer is equipped with the lat
est and most improved machinery ever
placed aboard a sailing vessel for the
loading and discharging of cargoes, also
having a steam cargo winch aft. The
entire vessel is heated by steam, furnish
ed from the engine room. The hosting
engines and deck pumps are OF the
largest and most powerful make. Only
stockless anchors are used on the YES
sel and each weighs about 5000 pounds,
one being attached to 145 fathoms and
the other to ITO fathoms of rs inch
chain, and AN interesting statement is
the fact that the two hawse pipes weigh
nearly three tons each.
The Elizabeth Palmer is the 10th YES
sci built by Percy & Small, and will be
followed by another of practically the
same dimensions, which this firm in
tends to manage.

GIRL AND WOMAN.

Care Needed at the Transition From One
to the Other. Many Life Spent i'll SUI
fering Because Troubles Were Allowed to
Develop at This Time.
Every mother of a growing girl should
remember that there will come time when
her daughter will be a girl no longer but
will share with her the blessings of woman
hood. Unless nourishment keeps pace with
growth the foundations of life of suffering
are laid at that time. Chlorosis, commonly
called green sickness, may develop unless
the blood is kept rich and pure; incipient
consumption and nervous and constitution

is kept toned up until the danger line is

Thirteenth street, Detroit, Mich, writes a
timely word on the subject. She says:

critical time in my life and for seventeen

or 1879 per cent; cruel and abusive
treatment, 500 1872 per cent. The
other divorces granted for adultery,

and the wife 20 times.
On account of extreme cruelty, the
wife was the libellant in all cases.
For desertion, the husband was the Ii
bellant IS times, and the wife 1873. For
intoxication, the husband was the Ii
bellant in 10 cases and the wife in 1O2.
For cruel and abusive treatment the
husband twas the ibellant in 81 in
stances, and the wife in 252.
Thirteen divorces were granted be-
fore the marriage life had lasted one
year; 227, after l to 5 years marriage;
PIT, after to 10 years; 211, after 10 to
20 years; 80, after 20 to 80 years; 80,
after more than 80 years of married
life; while in S cases it was not stated
how many years they had been married.
The number of deaths registered in
the year 1901 was II, 1873. The number
for this year was, therefore, 256 less
than for the year 1900. The death rate
for the State for the year 1901 was
sos for every 1000 of population.
The counties of Androscoggin, Aroos-
took Franklin, Hancock, Piscataquis,
SdSdudllOC, [SUulclScU dLlC w oohlAS eoh
had lower death rates than that of the
whole State; while the counties of
Cumberland, Kennebec, Knox, Lincoln,
Oxford, Penobscot, Waldo and York
had death rates larger than that OF the
State.
The largest number of deaths occur
red in March, 1882. The smallest num-
Der Of deaths in any month was 1s9 IN
June. During the spring months 3,O3l
deaths occurred; during the summer,
?, 45G: during the autumn, 1858; III the
winter, 2,943.
There were registered 693 deaths as
due to old age, 323 men and 80 women.
OF these decedentS, IA were between 6o
and 10 years of age; 113 were from 10 to
so; 800 were from so to so; 124 were
from 30 to 100, while were over lou
years old; and the ages of I were un'
known.
From Table No. 80, however, it Will
be seen that the whole number OF per
sons who died at the ages between 10
and 100 years or more was 1882, or one
death in every three and one-thiTd was
of a person who was between 40 and
100 years of age or older. Assuming
that all these 3, 332 died of old age, the
death rate from old age would be 41.9o
among every 10,0G0 living at all ages.

Reported Railroad Deal.

Considerable interest has been arous-
ed in Machias by the report that the
Trust company of New York that is
now interested in the foreclosure pro-
ceedings against the Washington coun,
tv railroad has purchased OF Russell
Sage the New Brunswick Shore Line
railroad. The price paid for the road,
as seen from the books of the register
at St. Andrews, n. B., was 100000. 1t
is understood that Russell Sage pur-
chased the line about four years ago
for $500, 900 which if correct, shows a
be satisfactory. Should that road and
the Washington County come under
one management, a railroad bridge
would undoubtedly connect them at
Calais and St.Stephen and direct route
be established to st. John over these
roads. The talk that from time to time
has been made in regard to straight
cut across Maine from Washington
Junction to Lewiston will undoubtedly
be renewed by this announcement. and
this promises to be an interesting ques-
tion.-Cor. Bangor News.

PORTLAND, Aug. 20. One of the peri
patetic philosophers of the Socialist
party, who has been touring the State
for the past few weeks, addressed a
small gathering of the faithful in M0nu-
ment square this evening. The burden
of his talk was the coming influence of
his party in national affairs, following
upon the decadence of the Democrats.
The Republicans, according to the
speaker, will continue i'll existence,
but the Democrats have ceased to be,
because they represent nothing at all.
'Mr. Cleveland" said the orator,
Stands for the conservative element,
Mr.. Bryan represents the radicals. A
man in New York named Hearst is
seeking prominence in the counsels of
the party, but no one knows whom he
represents.
