WRESTLING.
CHALLENGE IS
 UNANSWERED.
Frank Babcock Has Not Yet Heard From Any of the
 Wrestlers Jesse Foley Appeared In Manchester.

As yet no one has come forward to accept the chaTienge issued by Frank Babcock of Waterville. All the local wrestlers and many of those in the state seem to be afraid to run ID against the lightweight from the "Ville.' He has offered all kinds of inducements to all the mat artists, but somehow they do not care to run afoul of him. Why not arrange a match between -BabcocS and Jack Roach True, the weights would not be equal as Roach is heavier, but it would be a corking good contest.

NEW FUEL
On Exhibition Yesterday at
McNeiII & PorterfieIds.

Quite a large number of persons
were present yesterday afternoon to
witness the exhibition of new kind
of fuel, the new substitute for coal.
The new substance burns brightly,
with a bronze-red flame and gives off
an exceedingly large amount of heat
In comparison with the amount of
fuel used. There is absolutely no
smoke, SCOT or "sticky" material
left after burning and the amount of
ashes is less than seven per cent of
the total amount of fuel consumed.
In appearance is dark, and made
in round or square cakes or large
cubes, according to the size of tbe
stove or CRATE in which the new
fuel is to be used. It appears to be
made of clay and loan, with a very
small part of sand, and the fact Of
Its being made in this city will make
the price locally still lower than it
otherwise would be as ali freight

of meat you could have another. And
oh, the bread and butter, and the iel-
lies and the jams, ana the pickles.
and the preserves, the sweets ana tl,4

ARGUED BEFORE JUDGE
FOX
IN THE CIRCUIT COURT
Johnson is Against Tate, and Rob
bins is For Him.

The Clarence Tate matter is up be
fore Judge eFox today IN the Wayne
circuit court. The argument is on a
demurrer filed by Tate's attorney,
Mr.. Robbins, in proceedings institut-
ed to prevent Tate from being taken
to Ohio to stand trial for completely
in the robbery Of Mr.. and Mrs. Shute.
The attorney for Tate holds that
the fact Of Ellis saying Tate was
there at the time does not necessarily
mean he was there, and for that
reason he is being held and habeas
corpus proceedings instituted.
The case was continued all day and
only one side was heard. It will be
continued on Monday.

ENTERPRISE
MARLATT s. DOZIER BRANCH
ING OUT IN A NEW
LINE.
GOOD FOR INVESTORS
The Plan Will be of Advantage to
Parties Seeking Patents,
Etc.

Marlatt & Dozier, who are archi-
tects and mechanical experts, consid-
ering the troubles inventors have in
procuring valuable claims on inven-
tions, have associated themselves with
an old and reliable firm of attorneys
of Washington, D. c.
The advantage of the movement
will be readily seen by inventors-as
Marlatt & Dozier are on the ground
to get the ideas, prepare drawings
and specifications and their attor-
neys are on the ground in Washing
ton to give the matter personal atten-
ton through the patent Office.
This way will give applicants bet
ter claims and more satisfactory re-
suits than can be secured by local at
torneys. It is a move in the right
direction and the firm proposes that
its work shall continue to be charac-
terized by thoroughness, intelligence
and energy and the association with
this firm Of attorneys gives the as
surance of able and skillful service
In patent matters.
The business will be conducted
with promptness and fidelity, while
the terms will be as liberal as pos
sible consistent with good profes
sional service.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
A British View of Them Poorly Paid
Teachers.

Alferd Mosely, who headed a com
mission of thirty English education
al experts, which recently made an
investigation of American schools,
makes the following points concern
ing our schools in an article in the
World s Work:
The people of the United States
spend marvellous amount of money
on their public-schools, endowing ed
ncation more lavishly than any other
people in the world.
They do not spend enough. The
salaries to teachers are not sufficient
for the service the country desires
and should have.

On the East Side, in New York, and
at the North End, In Boston, the
schools in the poorest districts are
kept open at night to give the chill
dren of the crowded tenements a
clean and comfortable place to study
their mopow's lessons, with some
one to help them on difficult points.
The children resort to these evening
study rooms in surprising numbers,
and the teachers help them patiently
and encouragingly.
Gas a whole, the Middle West IS
more intense in matters Of education
than other parts Of the country. The
schools of the Middle West are new
er than the Eastern schools, and
more modern, because they have no
traditions to get rid of. There is an
even greater thirst for knowledge
there than elsewhere, and money is
spent to advantage. The schools Of
indianapolis are among the best in
the country.
Gin brief, I might sum up my inn
pressions Of American education by
single personal note. I have plac-
ed my two sons in the Hopkins
Grammar School, at New Haven, to
prepare for Yale.

THE WEYERHAEURER
COMPANY
To Manage About 100000 Acres of
TiInberlands in Washington.


Frederick Weyerhaenser, president
of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Com
pany, has signed an agreement with
the bureau Of Forestry by which the
Bureau agrees to prepare working
plans for the conservative manage
ment Of about 100000 acres of the
company's timber lands In Washing
ton. By the agreement, the Weyer-
haeuser Company agrees to defray
the living and travelling expenses of
agents Of the Bureau engaged in the
work
The Northern Pacific Railway Co.
has also requested that the Bureau
of Forestry prepare working plans
for its enormous timber land hold
ings in Washington and Idaho.
The timber lands of the Weyer-
haeuser and the Northern Pacific
companies are the most extensive
privately owned tracts of land for
which the Bureau Of Forestry has ev-
er been asked to prepare working
plans. The field work will begin
next summer. How long it will con-
tinue before figures enough are Sc
cured on which to base plans intel
ligently it is impossible at present
TO state. The task Of putting all
these lands under careful manage
ment is of great magnitude, and only
one familiar with the nature of the
forests of the Northwest can appre-
ciate its difficulties. But great as
these difficulties are, the Importance
and value of the work, once accom-
plished. far outweigh them 1t is
another proof of the profound inter
est and confidence which the West
has come to feel in the practical re-
suits of forestry that the two great
est land-holding companies of the
Pacific coast and Rocky Mountain
States, the one representative of the
| lumber, the other of the railroad in
terests of that country, should have
called on the Bureau of Forestry for
expert advice in managing their
lands. The main timber supply of
the United States is contained in the
Northwestern States, and the great
advances which forestry has made in
that part of the country must be re-
garded everywhere as of general ben
eft.
In letter to the chief Of the Bu-
reau of Forestry, Mr. Howard FL
lott, president of the Northern Pa
cific Railway, writes these significant
words
"The Northern Pacific Railway
Company is large holder of timber
lands in the Northwestern States,
which are now being logged from in
more or less irregular methods.
Realizing the increasing scarcity
of timber, and the probability of a
more economical use of forest tracts
which we have, and understanding
that your foresters lend assistance to
landholders In the way of making
surveys and plans for economical
forest management, / would ask
whether it would be possible for the
Bureau of Forestry to make surveys
and plans for this company, looking
toward the forest management of its
tracts"
The work for the Weyerhaeuse1
Timber Company is not the first un-
dertaken by the Bureau for that CON
cern. Last summer a party of for
esters made a study of the Norway
pine on the company's lands near
Cloquet, Mimi, and working plar
for these lands is now in prepara-
, ton.

PANAMA WORTH
SOMETHING
WHAT THE UNITED STATES
WILL GET WHEN SHE GETS
THE PANAMA CANAL
Tie Suez Canal, Under British Con-
troll, Repays It's Cost Every
Five Years.

In the midst of all this pother
about Panama it is worth while to
call to mind just what the United
States will get when she comes into
possession Of the canal. Here are
the items, according to the Book
lovers Magazine:
'1Thirty thousand acres of ground
at terminals and along the route.
"Two thousand, four hundred and
thirty-one buildings including offices,
quarters, storehouses, shops, hospl-
tails and terminal sheds.
Gan immense collection of dred-
ges, tugs, barges, excavators, cars,
locomotives, and other machinery,
and appliances, not considered OF
snnch present value.
"WorlS done by the old and the
new French companies, with an esti-
mated removal of about 36,000,000
cubic yards of material at cost of
little more than 100000.
"Maps and drawings, and the rec
ords gathered by the French engi-
neers, valued at S2,000,000.
"The Panama Railway, including
three steamships.
For these several items the sec
ond. or new, French company is to
receive $40,0OO,0OO. Twenty-fou
p7illions Of this amount, less obliga-
jtions, will be turned over to the old
company, which had spent at the
time of its collapse, nearly $250,000,-
900, largely in promotion.
1.-THE Republic of Panama is to re
ceive Immediately $1O,0O0,000 and
annually after nine years, the sum
of $250,0OO. The United States re-
ceives from Panama the grant of the
strip Of land five miles wide on each
side of the canal. We are also to
become sponsors for the continuance
of good order throughout the new
republic.
"The total excavation yet to be
done is estimated at about 95,000,-
work at the Bohio dam ard the Gil
gante spillway. The completion OF
the canal to depth of thirty-siz
feet from ocean to ocean a distance
of forty-nine miles, is expected tc
cost about $145, 100000 Vessels viii

Guiding lockage, of four miles pei
hour. All sailing craft will be tow
ed not only through the canal, bu
upon the Pacific side for long dis
tance out to sea.

is placed at about 100000 tons. O.

be eliminated entirely. The inventor
of this new substance. James NJ.
Dennis, is very sanguine about it
and confident Of the final success and
it must be acknowledged, that if all
of this fuel burns as did that yes
terday afternoon, that coal will
stand a slim chance against 1t here.
It's Superiority.
Several points are claimed by It's
inventor whereas it is greatly super
ior to coal The item Of cheapness
will be an Important one, as this sub
stitute for coal can be made for s.
20 per ton. The other points Of SUI
perority are total lack Of SCOT,
lack Of smoke, amount of heat given
off in comparison with the total
amount used, cheapness, long length
of burning and general all-around
good qualities The exact time of
the putting of this substance on sale
has not been decided definitely but
the probable time will be this sum-
mer. about July or August.
Since the small machine, propelled
by hand power, can not give over
one hundred pounds pressure, the
cakes are not as hard and
lasting as they vii be when Mr.. Den
mis- gets new machinery, as the solid
er the cakes, the greater heat given
out and the greater length of burn
ing. A stock company will soon be
formed to manufacture this sub
stance. Several leading merchants
and business men have taken the
matter up and many are willing to
invest capital in what looks like an
extremely sure thing.
