Denied by this legislature, and referred

By the time the next legislature

beautiful isle of the sea will become
satisfied that they are just as well OFF
with Hancock as they would be with
Knox. Anyhow, Hancock is glad
enough to retain her, and is ready to
do anything in reason to remove the
causes, if any really exist, of discon-
tent.

tribute to its neighbor:

Under the auspices of several ladies OF
the Congregational church, Mother Goose
and her large family gave the people of
Bar Hsrbor a delightful entertainment
last Thursday evening.
The preparations were rather hurried
ana there was no. much time for re-
hearsai, but nevertheless the affair was
striking success, and everything
passed of without a hitch.
Music hall was packed with an entbu-
sisstic audience which applauded the
performers with hearty will. The
Mother Goose stories were told in
tabieaux and pantomime. The costumes
worn were most suitable.
L. B. Deasy acted as Interpreter, and in
troduced the different scenes with appro-
pirate remarks. Some Of the best scenes
were: "Old Mother Hubbard She Went
to the Cupbosrd;" "Bluebesrd and his
Wives" "Tne Queen Of Hearts, She Made
Some Tarts !" 1.-THE Giant" and "Jsck the
Giant Killer" 1.-THE Cinderella scenes;''
The Old Lady Sweeping the Cobwebs,
out Of the Sky"
During the evening solos were sung by
Frank Anthony and Eugene Dyer. Quite
a large sum of money was cleared which
will be used for church purposes.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1908.
Report of Coal Strike Commission.

Report of Coal Strike Commission.
The report of the anthracite coal
strike commission has been made pub
he and will, in many respects, be re
gareed as a signal victory for the
miners. They are awarded ten per
cent. increase in wages from April,
1902. TO March 81, 1906. This applies
to all paid regular wages and nine
hour men are to be paid on ten hour
basis.
Moreover, provision is made for an
Increase of wages by one per cent. for
each Eve cent increase in the whole
sale price of coal over $50 per ton,
for pea size. All disputes are to be
eeesled by 'sjoint conciliatory COM
mission, TO consist of six, and to
have continuous existence in each dis
trict.
Three members of this committee
are to be appointed by the operators,
and three by majority of the miners,
SO that in those sections where the
union men are in majority, union
men will be selected.
When an agreement cannot be
reached by this evenly divided COM
mission, a seventh shall be called in,
and he will cast the deciding vote.
Such check weighers, etc., as the
miners may desire shall be appointed
by them, and recognized by the oper
ators, but shall be paid by the miners.
the average price of coal is to be
decided by commissioner appointed
by circuit Judge and paid by the
operators. All increase in the size of
miners cars shall be accompanied by
d proportionate increase in wages.
Ali awards stand until March 81, 1906.
Among the general recommends
tons made by the commission are:
One urging the abolition of the GUS
tom Of employing special police who,
1t is believed, tend to make trouble;
one urging that existing laws against
the employment of child labor be en-
forced, and statement that the COM
mission did not feel at liberty to rec
dmmend compulsory arbitration.

DEERrNG DIED
By Wife's Hand s, Says Brewers
Coroner's Jury.

Coroner's Jury.
The verdict OF the eoToaet's jury that
has been investigating the death, sup
posed at first to be suicide, OF William
Deering, In Brewer, has been made public
The finding is that Deering "cams to
his death by wound received from a
bullet fired from a revolver held in the
hand of Mary A. Deering".
Mrs. Deering is slowly dying OF cancer,
and Is not expected to live many weeks
The couple have not lived smicsbly for
some time. From the first, but little
credence was given to the suicide theory,
while, on the other hand, the thought that
a wife, herself so near deaths door, could
deliberately shoot her husband, was hard
to believe.
The Investigation of Coroner 8. A. Hall,
however, indicated that the suicide theory
was not tensble, and a verdict as stated
above was finally arrived at.

The special session of the Senate of
the fifty eighth Congress has ad-
journed sine die after having ratified
both the Panama and the Cuban treat
les, and the President has expressed
himself as satisfied with the work of
the session. Nevertheless, there is
grave doubt in the minds of many
friends of both treaties as to their
future. In the case of the Cuban
treaty it has been amended in Several
instances, and one at least of these
amendments seriously ieopardizes the
success OF the agreement. This is
the Bacon amendment which provides
that the treaty shall go into effect
only when approved by the Con-
gress". The question is now raised:
Can an exchange of ratification be
made when the ratification of the
Senate is of so equivocal character
and depends for its ultimate settle
ment on the action of both houses of
Congress at the next session? 1t is
certain that there will be no reciproc-
ity with Cuba until late in the next
session, and in the opinion of many
competent judges the House will
amend the treaty, and thus precip-
itate a general discussion and contest
which will mean the defeat of the
entire project.
