Tye act amending the bankruptcy
act signed by the President last week
makes several important changes, sug-
gest ed in part by the experience had
1nder the law during the past four
years or more, and in part by decisions
pf the courts which seemed to call for
more specific legislative provisions.
The list of those who may be declared
bankrupt is increased by the inclusion
of mining corporations and of persons
vn0, being insolyent, apply for the APP
0oliit ment of trustees or receivers Of
sheil property, or of whose property re-
,.eIve76 have been put in charge. Among
The grounds for denying an application
fora discharge III bankruptcy are now
included the obtaining property on
credit upon materially false state
ment III writing within four months
prior to the assignment; removing, de-
stIoying, concealing or transferring
property with intent to hinder, delay
or defraud creditors; the institution of
voluntary proceedings in bankruptcy
within six years, and the refusal of a
bankrupt to obey any lawful order or
20 answer any material question in
bankruptcy proceedings. To the list of
debts not affected by discharge in
bankruptcy the amending act adds
those arising out of willful and malici-
ous injuries to the person or property
of another; those due or to become due
for alimony or for the maintenance or
support of wife or child, and those
growing out of certain actions for dam
ages of personal nature. The appear
ance of the wife of a bankrupt may now
be compelled in proceedings in which
business transactions to which she was
party are concerned, or to determine
&he fact whether she was party to any
business OF the bankrupt. So the
bringing of actions is now permitted in
other courts than those in which they
could be brought by the bankrupt him
self.

In the same number of What to Eat
is another article that brings back men,
ories of days, and nights, in New York
City more than a quarter of century
ago. It is entitled ''Something About
Sinkers," and relates to Hitchcock's, a
famous old "buttercake dive" in Park
Row. Sinkers was the name given to
the buttercakes served at Hitchcock s.;
but they belied their name, for they
were puffy, fluffy and delectable, when
served smoking hot. This was great
resort for all who had to do with the
printing of morning newspapers, and in
the small hours the night workers oc-
cupied its stools in relays and the aroma
of coffee mingled with the odor of fry
ing cakes. But, says the writer in
What to Eat:
At Hitchcock's there were other
victuals besides '.sinkers" and coffee.
There was no table d. hote meal with
claret on the side. The journalistic
stomach has no use for such menu in
the gray Of the morning Its call is for
things which are filling. So ham and
beans, cold beef and pie were the "fea-
tured'' dishes in the little underground
eating house. A plate of ''sinkers, !"
three in tier, each one as big as a
saucer, accompanied by a lordly pat of
butter, costs only five cents. For an
other nickel there was forthcoming the
coffee, served in big, heavy, white
bondlalacS cun When one was down
to his traditional last nickel and obliged
to wash the "sinkers" down with water,
there was heard across the room wait
ers stentorian order, Cone" IT rich
enough to afford coffee, the order be-
came, Zone and -" For the purse
proud scribbler able to indulge in such
luxuries as ham and beans or beef and
beans, there was bawled lusty order,
sHam and -" or "Beef and -"
"And'' stood for two things at Hitch
cocks, coffee or beans, the initiated al
ways knew which. A minute after the
order had been called came the smok-
ing butter cakes. Behind white par
tition went on a continuous perform
ance, where cooks mixed, rolled and
cut. where bakers watched with train
ed eyes the putting and browning proc
eSSes.
There used to be a legend about
Hitchcock's that Greeley, Charles A.
Dana and Henry J. Raymond were
among the old time butter cake devo-
tees. If one could marshal memory
of the figures in the throng who at one
or two in the morning dashed down the
cellarway to the light and warmth and
homely fragrance of Hitchcock's, it

BANGOR, Feb. IL. Twenty-Five or
more retail liquor dealers, including
druggists, saloon keepers and the pro-
prietor of the Bangor House, were ar
raigned before Mr.. Justice Spear at the
forenoon session of the February crimi-
nal term of the supreme court in this
city, today, and each was sentenced to
fine of 5000 and costs of $40, with the
alternative Of four months in Jail.
A half dozen, several of whom were
arraigned on more than one indictment,
demurred. Ferdinand Bushway, pro-
prietor of the Stanley house, was sent
to Jail, being unable to pay the fine.

The bridge bill before the legislature
involves a matter of much Importance
and one that calls for serious consid-
Grafton. The good roads scheme is now
fairly underway and seems to promise
excellent results, and it might be better
to continue that in conservative way
before undertaking other plans that
will call for large appropriations and
increased taxation. At first glance
the proposition that the State should
build all bridges over fifty feet in
length, the county to pay half the cost,
is rather enticing. But State bridges
will naturally be steel and stone, wide
and costly. A stream or brook forty
five feet wide could easily be made fifty
by large foundations; and it would soon
be found that enormous appropriations
would be called for necessitating an in
crease in the State and county taxes.
Under the present method the burden
of building and maintaining the bridges
is imposed upon the cities or towns
wherein located ''This,' says l.. B.
bennett in a letter to the Portland
Press, lis expedient, because the peo-
pie who build the bridge must pay for
it, and they have this, the best of
all reasons, for the exercise of an intel
lgent economy. Let the expense be
paid out of the treasury of the State and
the people of the town where it is To-
Gated will clamor for the best possible
bridge without regard to cost, and po-
litical party considerations will be ap-
pealed to, and a brand-new bargain
counter will be set up in the capitol at

Overturned by Justice Spear OF the supreme
Court. CONSERVATION Among the Liquor
Dealers. A Wholesaler Fined $500 and
Costs.
Especial Dispatch to the Boston Herald
BANGOR, Me-, Feb. II, 1903 There is
CONSERVATION tonight among the liquor
dealers of Bangor and other Penobscot
county cities. Justice Spear OF the Su-
preme court has overturned the so-called
Bangor plan of dealing with the liquor
question, which was lnaugurated III the
time of Chief Justice Peters and which
has been in vogue ever since.
This afternoon, Robert Brown OF Ban
gor, who had been indicted as whole
sale liquor dealer, was arraigned, and
County Atty. Smith told the court that
lie considered the customary fine OF 5000
wholly inadequate and asked fora more
severe sentence. MI. Brown and his
counsel were taken by surprise and the
latter, John f. Robinson, entered pro-
test against any increase in the penalty.
He spoke at length of the origin of and
growth of the Bangor plan," saying
that it had been the custom for many
years to impose fine of 800 and costs
on retailers and $500 and costs on whole
SttltIS. L Ills IdGC was IllduC az VIC ou6-
gestion of Justice WhitehouSe, who also
proposed that all men who had paid a
United States license fee should be in
dicted without seeking further evil
dence.
Mr.. Robinson referred to the satisfac-
tory manner in which the traffic is con-
Quoted here and the reputable character
of the men who are engaged in the
business He intimated that an increase
| in the amount of the fines would ruin
the business.
Justice Spear in rendering sentence
explained his attitude as follows: "Jn
whatever | may have to say in respect
to sentence on an Indictment L shall in
no way refer to amy person, neither
shall | designate anyone personally. 1t
is not question with me OF who is
indicted or how good fellow he may be.
"The Legislature of Maine in its wis
dom has seen fit to submit to the people
of the State constitutional amendment
which prohibits the sale of liquor with
in the commonwealth and the people
have ratified it and /, justice of the
supreme judicial court of the State Of
Maine, cannot 'and will not permit my
self to assist a Bangor or any other
plan.
Il Shall administer the laws as | find
them, regardless of what any other
justice has done. | shall do it the same
i'll Penobscot county as in Franklin. |
shall do it to prohibit the sale of liquor.
Ii this administration of the laws drives
the wholesalers ou5 of business | shall
have accomplished my purpose. If it
dives the retailers out of business |
shall have accomplished my purpose.
Il regard the fine of S210 as absurd
and entirely out Of proportion to the
grossness of the violation of the law
Judge Spear then sentenced Brown
to pay a fine of $500 and costs, adding
that in default of payment within 10
days the respondent should be confined
in Jail for eight months.
In this county 230 men have been ia
dicted for selling, including the drug
gists, and Brown is the only man who
has been arraigned.

Inc remarkaDle CROWN OF ArOOSIOOk
county is hardly realized even by those
more or less familiar with the Garden
of Maine, while it is very evident that
it has not yet reached its full develop
ment. The Presque Isle Star Herald,
in some interesting "reminiscences of
Daniel Stickney and his newspaper, the
Loyal Sunrise, quotes from that paper
of March 20, 1867, an estimate of the vol
ume of trade in that year 1t may be
summarized as follows: Glover seed
and herds grass, 100000; shingles,
nearly $4,000; oats and buckWheat, y, :
900 bushels each; beef, butter, beans,
potatoes and other vegetables, $4,000.
So the editor of the Loyal Sunrise felt
that he might say with safety that at
least $50, 900 was annually paid i'll the
village for the products of the farm and
forest. Commenting on this statement
the Presque Isle Star-lIerald says:
According to this, Presque Isle raised
and marketed annually between thirty
and forty thousand dollars worth of
farm produce 81 years ago, or about as
much us four OF five of our biggest
farmers will raise and put into the mar
ket today. There are at the present
time probably very nearly five hundred
farmers in Presque Isle, and 1t is per-
haps not overstating it very much to
put the average gross proceeds OF their
farms in stock and crops at $4,000. 1t
this is correct, it would make the figures
stand at about one million dollars an
nually as compared with thirty or forty
thousand dollars 36 years ago. In those
days one or two four and six horse teams
largely furnished transportation for
what the town exported and what it i'm
ported in the way of goods, making
their trips to and from Bangor, each
pilgrimage consuming some ten days
time. Now, Presque Isle is connected
with the outside world by two lines of
railroad, and to each of these lines she
furnishes a volume of both inward and
outward freight which aggregates many
thousands of carloads yearly, running
up into money total which would have
to be represented 10y pretty large figures.
Waldo County people have distin-
guished themselves in various ways
in the professions, in business, journal
ism and literature; but Miss CAIRO NJ.
Clarke, native of Unity, is the first to
make a success us a publisher of books.
This was accomplished by original
methods which show her to be a woman
of remarkable ability. and the sketch

stores have made many women pale,
tired and wornout, just as too much
study and too little outdoor exercise
have made many school children
spindling and delicate. They have
weakened the nerves, impaired diges-
ton, upset nutrition, so that the blood
has become watery and thin,-a result
plainly seen in the colorless lips, cheeks
and ears.
Too much responsibility, anxiety and
worry have, in the same way, broken
down the health of many busy men.
Now, what is needed by all these
sufferers is iron, natural constituent
of healthy, strong and ruddy blood, as
combined in the new iron tonic, Pept-

nerves, cures paleness, weakness, ner-
