that most of the necessary liquidation
which had recently depressed the market

the same firmness and some lenders refuse

Solitude Sublime.

While the days of summer heat are here
And our vacation time is near.
Then how tiresome worry grows,
When the man of business knows
That he soon will leave behino
All affairs that fret his mind
And to sea shore or the lake,
Where refreshing breeZes break
through the suns rays breaking down,
He goes where comfort can be found.

tNot soul to bother. there)
With book, or he perhaps
Wastes the time in idle maps;
For his mind from care is free,
AID as other men, 50 he
Naught but comfort there enjoy,
Where the gentle lake winds toy
With the hammock, as he lies
Meath the clear, blue summer skies.
Or when evening shadows fall,
ANA the night birds dreary call
Echoes through the silence there,
he. without a thought of care,
Sitting in the birch canoe,
GlideS across the water blue;
There alone he drifts and dreams,
As the moons soft, silvery beams
On the ripping waves recline,
Making solitude sublime.

Substitute Poor Cigars.

The arrest of Henry Silberstone, a cigar
dealer at No. 2S3 Bowery, charged with
having refilled cigar boxes, marked the
beginning of a war that will be waged by
the United States Internal Revenue
agents against dealers all over the city
who have been engaged in similar prac-
ticeS.
Siberstone is alleged to have bought
several boxes of "Cremo" cigars, and af
ter selling the genuine article at the regu-
lar price (five cents) retiled the boxes
with a cheaper article, which he sold at
eight for - cents, explaining to his Gus
cigars was in the matter of the bands.
The cheap cigar was sold without Il
label, while the real "Cremos" have bands
about them. In this manner Slberstone
is alleged to have made a profit of con-
siderably more than 100 per cent. He was
alraigned before Commissioner Shields
and held or examination before the Fed
eral Grand Jury.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1903-08-18
Extending the Mail Service.

a novel and far-reaching extension of
the mail service is contemplated if the
Washington correspondents are right
in reporting that Postmaster General
Payne proposes to make all trainmen
that is, conductors, brakemen and bag
gagemen, auxiliary employees OF the
postal department. The step is made
desira BILE, it is explained, by the in
creased circulation of newspapers re-
sulting from rural delivery systems, and
because the governments policy is to
seek by every means to distribute mali
by the simplest and promptest method.
The proposed step simply empowers
railroad men to handle mail matter. all
the way from letters of the first class to
newspapers AT present good many
railroads absolutely forbid their en-
Dloyes to handle any mail outside of
that of the roads in question, but by the
operation of Mr.. Payne's policy, train
men at any point on their daily runs
will be obliged to accept mail matter
proffered by any person. The ostensible
purpose Of this innovation is to afford
mail transportation where none is now
enjoyed and also to increase a service
already in operation. The roads them
selves are not to be paid anything addi-
tional to the sum which they already
receive as mail carriers; the individual
employees will be allowed by the gov
ernment a certain sum above that
which the road pays them for their reg
ular duties.
Vice-president Van Etten of the Bos
ton &, Albany division of the New
York Central probably expresses the
prevailing sentiment among the rail-
roads, when he says that the rail-
roads will accept whatever the govern
ment requires in this matter of COM
missioning the railroad employees as
auXiliaries of the postal service. OF
course, it will be easier for the crews
of freight trains to carry mails than
for those of the fast expresses. How
ever, we are carrying out this policy
now. For instance, at Buffalo, papers
are now carried on all the trains. The
plan is essentially practical and can
easily be put into operation"
Another thing is pointed out in this
proposed extension of the mail SER
vice which has no little significance.
This policy would make every train a
factor in Interstate commerce. 1t
would make every train q mail train,
and would give it as such the full pro-
lection of the government in case of
any strike which threatened to tie it
up.

The Rines Hill CROSSING.

Mayor Robertson has received word
that General Manager Evans of the
Maine Central Railroad accompanied
by Engineer Dunn, will arrive in Au-
gusta today On the noon train to con-
fer with the committee of the city gov
ernment relative to measures for doing
away if possible with the dangerous
Rines Hill Crossing. 1t is well that
there should be a clear appreciation of
the bearings o. this matter so far as
Augusta citizens are concerned. There
has been a good deal of loose talk on
the matter-and some have even gone
so far as to affect to see political
bearing to the subject-although just
what possible connection with politics
a movement to do away with danger
Gus grade crossing can have they do
not undertake to explain. AS matter
of fact such talk is absurd. The re-
moval of this crossing is a purely busi-
ness proposition, although it is true
that it is one involving to a considerable
extent the public welfare. There are
three interested parties to this desir-
able improvement, viz; the Maine Gen.
tral railroad, the Augusta, Winthrop &
Gardiner electric road, and the city of
Augusta. 1t would be a mistake for our
people to suppose for one moment that
In poi ha
ly appreciated the danger of this cross
ing. 1t has been for a long time con-
stant source of anxiety to General
Manager Evans, and his assistants.
Last fall Engineer Dunn made a very
careful survey of the vicinity with
view to finding the most feasible and
economical way Of obviating this dam
ger. Sickness has delayed somewhat
the completion of his work, but the
matter has been constantly in the view
of the Maine Central management.
AS Mr.. Carter stated before the city
government, the steam road fully APP
preciates the danger of this crossing,
and is very anxious of finding some
practical way of obviating it. 1t would
unquestionably be great relief to the
Maine Central management if this
could be done. There can be no ques-
ton either of the direct interest of the
elect ic road, or the desire of it's Off
cials to accomplish the same result.
There can be no question of the inter-
est of the city of Augusta 1t is not
merely a question of safety to our
citizens, and those who enter and leave
our city by modern means of trans
portation: but we must consider also
the convenience of the public which
uses this hill for the general purposes
of traffic, and to whom the obviating
of the delays incident to a railroad
crossing. and an easier grade for the
hill so generally used in going to and
from Water street would be of undeni
able benefit.
Such being the situation it would
seem as If it should be a comparatively
easy matter for the parties interest
ed to come together upon some COM
mon basis for the accomplishment of
result so much desired by all.
1t will be we'll for our citizens not to
form any hard and fast theories as to
what should be done to bring this
about; they should stand ready to CO.
operate cordially in any practical meth
cd of securing the desired end.
