NEW CON GAME IN MAINE.
sharp Trick That II Played Upon
People with the Aid Of Clam
and a Five-DolIar Gold Piece.

A new confidence game has been
introduced to northern Maine by a
man who passes for a drummer for
New York firm which deals in
cigars. The arrangement of the
Maine saloons affords excellent op-
portunities for working the game
which is done with the aid of q
fve-dollar gold piece and clam
says Houlton (Me.) report.
Most OF the Maine barrooms are
eating houses on the front next to
the street, the liquor being dispensed
from dark room in the rear. The
drummer enters to sell cigars, but
soon begins to talk about the loss
OF five dollars in gold. Then he pro-
duces q roll of bills and offers to
give six dollars for a gold coin to
replace the one he has lost; assert
ing that he could never hope to have
luck without gold in his pocket.
If none Of those present has any
gold man is sent out to buy the
coin. When it is produced the drum
mer expresses fear that it may be
q counterfeit. To see If it is genuine
he carries it to the 'front.' of the
shop and holds it aloft over the pile
Of cold-storage oysters and CLAIMS
which always lies near the window
for advertising purposes. Here. in
full view of the people he bites the
coin, throws it down on the counter
and tosses it in the air.
All at once the coin slips from his
fingers and falls among the CLAIMS
There is long hunt, during which
the drummer processes to be very
sorry for the accident, and offers to
pay full value. He also treats all
hands and promises to come back
after dinner and renew the search.
OF course, the owner of the coin,
feeling sure that the lost money will
be found, refuses to take pay and is
satisfied with the free drink.
On reaching his hotel the drummer
takes clam from his pocket, opens
it with his knife. and removing five
dollars in gold from the inside, swal-
lows the contents of the shell with
. keen relish Knowing that CLAIMS
open their shells when kept for any
time from water, and feeling sure
that CLAIMS as far away from the
sea as Houlton must feel uncomfort-
able, he dropped the coin into the
open jaws of clam on top of the
heap, and the clam, feeling the touch
of foreign substance, Immediately
closed its she'll with a snap. The
shut case informed the drummer
where the gold was, after which he
secreted the clam in his pocket and
allowed the hunt to go on.

LAUREATE SERMON.
Dr. Henry Van Dyke Speaks at Prince
 ton on "The Battle of Life."'

Princeton, N. J., June 7.-Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke preached the bacca- laureate sermon before the graduating class Of Princeton this morning and President Wilson delivered brief ad- dress to the class. Dr. Van Dyke S theme was "The Battle of Life and his text Romans 12:21: overcome Evil with Good" He stated that the phrase "battle of life" was an ancient expres- sion but that t had been displaced by the modern phrases strenuous life" and the simple life.' After defining these phrases the preacher discussed the evils prevalent in the world and urged the graduates to gather their forces together to fight them at every turn and to do it with all their might.
 ''Intemperance," he said, lis the type of all evils because 50 many others grow out of it. The way to attack it is to make sober life beautiful and full of interest. Teach your boys how to work, how to read and study, you fathers, be- fore you send them to college, if you want to guard them against the temp tations of strong drink and the many shames and sorrows that go with it. You reformers, provide men with recre- ations that will not harm them if you want to take away the power of the gilded saloons"
 After appealing to the class to play their part in the warfare against vice and crime he said: My prayer for Princeton is that she may be as high as a mountain, lifted up into the realms of knowledge, faith and love, and my prayer for you is that you may receive from Christ not only the watch word of this nobler life, but also the power to fulfill t.''
 Immediately following the sermon President Wilson addressed the class, wishing the graduates God-speed in their new fields of labor. Speaking of the religious atmosphere at Princeton, he said: Though many of you have not had an active part in religious work in this university, yet Christ has walk ed in this place. His influence has been about you. It is impossible that you

top, from which smoke issued. No one seemed to credit the story told by the boys, although the Morn1ons in the col ony close by were discussing it a great deal.
 MT. Lock and his partner, MT. Lemar, thought a great deal about the matter and few days after the first hearing of it weretat the home of ST. Portello, tax collector of that district. They re- lated to ST. Portello the story told by the boys. ST. Portello had heard the same thing and as his informant was man whom he considered reliable, he told Messrs. Look and Lemar that the story must be true.
 The next day MT. Look, MT. Lenar, a Mexican boy and MT Began were at work cutting cattle about three miles from the location of the supposed VOL cameo. MT. Lemar suggested that the party ride over and look for the same.
 Accordingly the four men rode over to the Casas Grandes River at a point where the mountain comes close up to the river on each side. Here on the
The daily morning journal and courier., 1903-06-08

south side of the river is located a hot spring. The mountain on the north side of the river is very abrupt and rises perpendicularly from the waters edge to it's crest.
 The party reconnoitered for trail and finally finding one climbed to the top of the mountain under great diffi- culties. Before reaching the top the smoke became visible and the climbers also noticed peculiar smell. Proceed ing in the direction of the smoke, a lit tie to the west of the summit of the mountain the party came up 8 great crack in the rock about five feet wire and twenty feet long slanting back into the mountain, from which smoke was pouring in steady but not heavy VoI- ume. 5 The smoke. MT. Look says, had the most peculiar smell that eyer greeted his nostrils. Close in, it had the breath taking effect of hartsForn and for a while none of the party could stand near enough to the crack to look into l it.
 MT. Long describes the smoke as be- ing peculiar volatile substance mixed | with which seemed to be a dust and some vapor. The sides of the orator were moist and sweaty from the vapor. A green shrub grew jut above the open ing and on one side it was yellow where the discharge from rift had come into contact with it. The existence of the growing shrub just over the crevice wit honly one side withered was evidence f1 +ba eSr, fe of affairs was of recent origin. ..... Somewhat awed at the sight of seeing smoke in as large a volume as issues from any smokestack in this city com- | ing out of a hole in the mountain, the party retraced their steps. When they | returned to the bank of the river the smoke was still visible and the party was at los sto understand why they had not seen it before. A resurvey of the mountain from which the smoke came 1 was half hidden by another mountain at which they had all the time looking when trying to verify the report of the Mexican boys. #
 What the strange freak of nature is perplexes MT. Look very much and he is wondering if he looked into the mouth of volcano which is thretening to erupt At the foot Of the mountain and in the side of the Casas Grandes River are several boiling springs. which show that the interior of the mountain is in Q highly heated state. .sSs

MASTER BAKERS GIVE NOTICE.

If Men Do Not Return to Work This
 Morning They Will Lose Their Posi-
 tions.
 The Master Bakers association has thrown down the gauntlet to the jour- neymen who are now on strike in this city. Saturday night the eighteen boss bakers who have refused to sign the agreement presented by the disaffected employees met and resolved to reopen their shops this morning. They voted to notify the men to return to work and announced that if enough union men will not return to work help will be employed regardless of the unions. The bakers, in the resolutions, com mend the action of Andrew P. Kelly, who on Friday night resigned as pres .ident of the Trades Council because the journeymen whose union is represented tin the council would not consent to ar bitration. s.t
 The resolutions passed Saturday evening by the Master Bakers associa- V tion are:
 Resolved, That we firmly adhere to the proposition originally made by us to the Bakers union, No. Il. namely, to settle all matters in dispute between said union and the Master Bakers as- sociation by arbitration. .-
 Resolved, That as an appeal to the Trades Council of New Haven has not operated to relieve the situation in the slightest degree, 1t is our duty to our- selves and to the public to strive, after three weeks of fruitfess waiting for the cooperation of our journeymen bakers, to meet the public needs.
 Resolved, That the master bakers fully and gratefully appreciate the nat ural and entirely proper feeling that caused the resignation of the Trades Council president when he saw the reasonable proposal of the master bak- CTS, made with view to speedy and anicable settlement of their controver- sys with the journeymen, rejected by the council.
 Resolved. That notice is hereby given by the master bakers of New Haven to the individuals composing Bakers union No. il that all the men once em- ployed by the former are requested to resume work under the conditions ex- isting in 1902, by the morning of Mon day, June 8.
 Resolved, That in case the number reporting for duty is not sufficient to enable us to supply the public needs it will become our duty to open our plants with what help we can obtain from other sources; union help, if obtainable; but other help, if that is not obtaina- ble.
 In addition to the adoption of these resolutions 1t was voted to send to the Bakers union a notification to, the ef- feet that all employees who did not re- turn to work this morning will be con- sidered as no longer in the employ of the master bakers.

CRISIS IN BRITISH POLICY
tcontinued from First Page.)

Continued srom First Page.)
 workingmen will think for themselves and not be dictated to by the trades union leaders.
 Mir. Chamberlain proceeds to say it will be impossible to secure preferen- tiaI treatment from the colonies with out Great Britain placing some duty on wheat as well as on other articles of of food, because these are the chief ar ticles of colonial produce. Whether this will raise the cost of living is a matter of opinion. There is no doubt that in many cases a duty of this kind will be paid by the exporter, and it really depends upon the extent of com petition among the exporting countries. For instance, think it is established that the duty of one shilling recently imposed on imported wheat was met by a reduction in prices and freight rates in the United States, and, therefore, the tax did not fall on the consumers here. But, if even the price of food is raised, the rate of wages will certainly rise in greater proportion. This has been the case both in the United States and Germany. In America, the aVaila- ble balance left to the worker after he had paid for necessaries is much larger than here. These are facts we must bring to the notice for working men generally.
 F"There is another side of the ques- , tion which requires discussion. At present, we enter into negotiations with foreign countries empty-handed. If we were able to bargain on equal terms I believe the duties now imposed on our products would be generally reduced. There .wolud be competition among for eign nations for our markets, which would bring us nearer to real free trade than we have ever been."
