A VALUABLE BOOK.
'onn D. Tibbetts Of Augusta, Has Bible
Printed in 1910,

John d. Tibbetts, one of Augusta's
oioest residents, is the owner of one of
the' II not the oldest family bibles in
the place. 1t is an Oxford Bible pub
iished in ITO, by T. Wright and W.
Gill, royal printers at the University. 1t
is qudto size, double columns, and the
type characteristic of the age in which
II was printed, the being made like
an T. etc. In those days only a few
printers could legally publish such I'M
portant records as the Bible, in Eng
tand, and they, of course, had to be
authorized by the crown and were
called the Kings printers. Some of
tnese were situated at the Universities
ana printed, besides the royal publica-
ions, all those produced at the Univer-
sites. Printing with metal type was
flrst introduced into England in 1910,
when Caxton set up a press at West
minister Abbey. But retarded by the
Jealousy of governments printing for
some ages derived little Advantage from
mechanical ingenuity So the art, orig
mating at the middle of the 18th CEN
fury, continued to be conducted to the
middle of the 18th century in a very
clumsy manner. But at his time radi-
cal changes brought about a much i'm
proved process. and so by 1110, the art
Of printing though very slow compared
with modern process, had become so
perfected that perfect copies We're pro-
duceu
But the Bible possessed by Mr.. Tib-
belts is not only valuable because it
dates from most interesting period
when modern printing had just become
practical, but because it contains one
of the oldest family records in the
State. II has been handed down to Mr.
Tibbetts from his great grandfather
Nathaniel, who, with two brothers,
Giles and Ichabod, came to Boothbay,
in 177G. They, however, We're the

went to sea, but Nathaniel decided to
be a farmer and accordingly went to
New Sharon and took up 4 form of 100
acres, paying $50 to the state of Massa-
chusetts. This farm has since remained
in the family and with it has been
handed down this remarkable old book
with it's worn leaves, yellow with age.
When Mr.. Tibbetts took the book it was
coverless and the leaves badly disor-
dered, in fact the first leaf is in Deuter-
onomy. He had it bound in order to
preserve it.
Between the Old Testament and the
New, are the leaves on which is written
tn family rcord. One OF these deserves
special mention. 1t was printed by a
Mr.. Spencer one of the family by mar
"iage. with quill pen in a very artis
tic manner over 100 years ago. 1t re-
sembles very closely the type then in

of this relic of his ancestors, as we'll
he may. and has refused several oppor-
tunitios he has had for selling it.

ponents beaten by 90 points, with a
score of III to 142, but at the 300-yard
range, Stebbins, of the citizens, could
not get his eye on the target, and only
scored IA points, cutting down the
score so that in the grand total his
team only led by one point, the score
being 33A to 333. The best individual

CASE SHOULD HAVE
GONE TO THE JURY
Decision Rendered in Case of Bailey
VS.. Cascade Lumber Company.

Olympia, July 22.-The supreme
court has reversed the superior court
Of Pierce county. demanding the case
for retrial 1t is the case Of Martin
Bailey appellant, who sued the Cas-
cade Lumber company to recover
damages for injuries received while
operating a donkey steam engine in
the cOmpany's logging camp. Bailey
was helping move the engine when q
swamp hook attached to the timbers
broke and recoiled, striking and in
juring him severely.
After hearing evidence in the case
the lower court dismissed the jury and
rendered a judgment Of dismissal.
The supreme court holds that the low
er court erred in this when there were
questions Of fact which should have
gone to the jury.
For example. the evidence showed
that the defendant did not contend
that the swamp hook which broke was
of sufficient strength to be used where
! it was and that was one of the strong
points made by plaintiff. 1t holds that
the defendant actually conceded it
was not the proper appliance for the
occasion on which used.
The defendant argued that the fore
man was a fellow workman and the
company could not be held RESPONSE
bic. but the higher court says the case
was one which the master had not
/ furnished the proper appliances or
neglected TO do so, and the jury should
have decided the case

SECRET SERVICE MEN
CAUGHT C0UNTERFEITERS
Important Captures Were Made
Near Boston.

Near Boston.
Boston, Dec. 4.-What is considered
by the United States government secret
service officials to be one of the most
important raids that has ever taken
place in the city of Boston. was sue
cessfully carried out to-day in the
neighboring town of Revere, when
three men, all said to be well known
counterfeiters, were arrested and an
extensive plant and enormous supply of
paper for printing notes We're confis-
Gated.
The government officers stated to-
night that there was paper enough in
the house where the raid took place to
print more than $1,00O.O0O worth of
notes, while the notes and presses
were of the finest workmanship. The
men arrested were John Davis, Joseph
Boumenblitt and Moses Noval1, and, it
is understood, the government made
seven simultaneous arrests in or near
New York.
Novak, or Frankel, as he was knoevn
in Revere, came from New York about
two months ago, accompanied by a
woman, and hired house. Soon aft
er he. took possession the authorities
at Washington began to receive nu-
merous complaints that counterfeit
money was being freely circulated in
New England. From the larger New
England cities and from New York
came the report that numerous
spurious gold and silver certificates
were being circulated.
To-day secret service men arrested
Novak on the street in Revere. They
then forced their way into his house.
Boumenblitt and Davis were arrest
3D. and the search of the house re-
vealed Autograph plates bearing the
imprint Of many different kinds of
money, presses and many engraving
tools. The paper for printing the
notes was of good workmanship and
a very fair imitation of the genuine
bank note paper.
Davis has an international reputa-
ton as a counterfeiter. A number Of
years ago he was arrested in England
for making counterfeit Bank of Eng
land notes. He was never sentenced
at he turned Queens evidence.

ADJOURNMENT NEEDED
FOR THE NOMINEES.
Unless There Is Adjournment the
Nominations VIII Fail.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Unless there is
an agreement by both Houses of Con-
gress to adjourn the present extra ses-
regular session begins, all nominations
must fail. and ii the present special
session ends by limitation, thus pre-
venting the President from sending re-
cess appointments to the Senate, all
pending recess appointments must ter
inmate with the converting of the Con-
gress in It's regular session.
These considerations to-day furnish
ed the incentive for number of con-
ferences looking to an agreement to
adjourn on Monday or even to-mor-
row, in order to permit the President
to send in recess appointments.
Friends of Gen. Wood are vitality in
terested, and will try to bring about
adjournment by concurrent action.
Failure of action would mean Gen.
Woods reversion to the rank of brig
adler general, and have similar effect
on appointments of 167 army officers
advanced by reason of Gen. Wood S
promotion. all of whom have assumed
| the rank and pay of their new appoint
ments in the same manner, as though
| their nominations had been confirmed
|
| by the Senate.
1t is argued by senators who have
given serious thought to the questions
| involved that a recess must occur be-
| tween the termination of the present
extra session and the beginning OF the
| next session in order to relieve the en-
| barrassment resultant on failure to
confirm the army nominations referred
| to. The merging of the special session
| into the regular session would leave
only an infinitesimal recess and not
sufficient. it is feared. for recess APP
| pointments to be made.
| The Senate Committee on Military
Affairs will convene Monday at II
o'clock, and resume it's hearing of the
| Wood case. If the hearing should con-
| tinue until one minute after II O'Clock
| the committee would be in the unique
situation of investigating a matter
which was not pending before the Sen
! ate.

DERRY Volunteered
FOR A SERVICE THAT SAVED THE
SUBMARINE ADDER.
HE SWAN WITH A LIFE LINE
AND MADE FAST A HAWSER FROM
THE TUG.

When Volunteers Were Called for
This Dangerous Service BOatswOin
Dcery Responded-ThrOugh the
BuHeting Waves He Swami 100
Yards to the Adder-The Moe
cnsin Is Hard and Fast Aground.
WrecISers Needed to Float Her.
Norfolk. Va, Dec. 4.-The naval tug
Peoria arrived at the navy yard to-
day with the submarine torpedo boat
Adder in tow and left tonight for
Currituck to aid the Yankton and Vixen
in floating the Moccasin, now high and
dry upon the beach.
The bravery of Boatswain Deery of
the Adder's crew saved that craft. In
the teeth of a thirty-four mile gale,
with mountainous seas crashing over
the Peoria, and burying the drifting
submarine boats beneath tons of water,
Deery responded to the call for voiun-
teers and with slender line fastened
around his waist, plunged into the
ocean and battled with wind and tide
for full 100 yards, finally reaching
the Adder and gaining her deck. There
he hauled thick hawser aboard by
means of the life line and made it
fast.
All this time the Adder was being
tossed about like a cork one minute
and driven far beneath the surface the
next, rolling and wallowing in such a
manner as to make it almost impos-
| sible to retain a position upon her scam
ty decking, but Deery held on and ac-
complished his work. Then he went
| back to the tug hand over hand on
the hawser.
The Currituck life saving station re-
ports the Moccasin in good condition,
without any water in her. From the
coast reports, however, it is not
thought any Roadway can be made
| toward floating the vessel without the
aid of wreckers as she is high and
| dry upon the beach at low water and
| directly in a nasty surf at high tide.
The Adder is leaking, and her cleo
trical machinery is badly damaged.
Lieut.. English, commanding officer
| of the Peoria, says the little boats
towed very well until they were just
off the Virginia capes. There the
| heavy seas running at the time proved
too much for the frail towing bits OF
the Adder, which was towing first
following the tug. They snapped
short, and the two submarines went
| adrift.
The Peoria sought to catch them
but they drifted southwark before the
wind rapidly. There were only the
broken bits on which to get hold
so that the tug could only run in be-
tween them and keep them from
humping themselves.
All Wednesday this continued, and
then the line between the boats
} snapped. 1t was then that Deery
swan to the Adder.

London, Dec. 5.-AIl the morning pa
pers print editorials concerning the Sc
riouS effect which the cotton shortage
in the United States will have on the
Lancashire trade, and the dangers arts
ing from the fact that one market is
able to control the price of raw cot
ton. The belief is generally held that
the United States Department of Agri-
culture underestimated the crop, but
the editors avail themselves of the cri-
Sis to point out the necessity of using
the utmost eXertions to foster the Gull
uVation of cotton in the British colo
MES SO as to broaden the area Of sup
ply.
In Manchester less excitement was
manifested than in Liverpool, mainly
because it is believed the crop will
ultimately prove to yield 100000
bales. Manufacturers and Spinners,
therefore, are prepared to hold out for
later reports of the crop. Leaders in
the trade also point out that the pres
ent crop is likely to be a good one,
while last years crop was VIGOROUSLY
bad. and as q result there will be less
waste
President gMacRae of the Cotton EN-
ployers' Federation, says: Lancashire
should not be dependent upon Ameri-
can crop estimates. but ought to have
it's own intelligence department as a
check OH fluctuations which make the
cotton trade every year more harass-
ing"
