THE END
A MARCH DAY

Dim gray the morning broke
With heavy night dews drenched;
In wreaths of thin gray smoke
The kindling sun was quenched.
All day gray clouds o'erhead
No sun CLINT would reveal
River and lake lay dead,
Glimmering like tarnished steel.
Where the land met the sky
Gray mists were; tall trees flung
Stark leahess boughs on high
With pearly streamers hung.
And the dim even passed,
Treading the western way,
Where the sun, seen at last,
Smouldered meath ashes gray.

Molly did not move from her place
when Stella had gone. She leaned her
arms on the table, covering her face
with her hands to shut out the light,
which seemed to blind her. Stella's
last words were ecfoing in her brain.
Would all end well /? she cried to her
self. But Catharine's secret must not
be told. Alan could never know now
that she had loved him all the time.
The door opened behind her. She
thought it was Stella, and did not look
up. But it was not Stella's step. She
rose from her seat, trembling and hold
ing to the table for support. 1t was
Alan, and he had stopped a pace or
two from her, his dark face transfgured
with emotion. He had letter in his
hand, and he held it out to her.
1t is from Catharine, he said simply.
She gave it to Stella last night to send
to me. Molly-Molly
All his love, all his hopeless longing
was breathed into that low passionate
cry. Molly could not speak. She held
out her trembling hands to him. 1t
was gesture that said more than words.
A choking sigh that was almost sob

drew her close to him. How his cold
ness must have pierced that tender heart
How near their lives had been to total

hearted children that they were; but
Molly and Alan could not so easily dis
miss the past, though their happiness
had solemn depths in it that younger
hearts could not know.
When Stella went to seek Molly, after
watching Alan leave the house, she
found her in tears, weeping like child.
Stella knelt down beside her, deeply
distressed.
Molly-Molly darling, what is it? l
thought that everything was right now.
Molly looked up, quivering smile
shining through her tears.
I am so happy, Stella! Does that
seem a foolish reason for tears2 Come

talk. There is much that I want to say
to you.

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, D. G., March 18th, 1904.
It is significant that the Supreme Court,
in its decision in what iscalled the "mer-
ger case," divided on party lines. but this
fact is in no wise a disadvantage to the
Republicans, who have often been ac-
cused Of hesitation to enforce the Inter
state Commerce law. Rigid as it is, the
law has been upheld by the Republicans
on the bench, and every one who knows
President Roosevelt is convinced that he
has the courage to enforce it, and will do
50 when occasion requires. The satisiac-
ton with which the decision has been
received on the part OF the press, the
people and the inanciers, is encouraging,
and ensures peaceful outlook for the irl-
ture. Naturally. under stress OF political
situation, the President will not disturb
present conditions, and upset the country
by, instituting criminal proceedings
against every corporations which may
have technically violated the law. He
proposes to have dignifed, conservative
quiet campaign which will find the coun-
try as prosperous next November as it IS
now. 1t is essential to the welfare OF the
country, and for the carrying out of the
great enterprises now in hand, that the
commercial prosperity of the country
should continue. At all events the Pres
ident will do all he can to that end, and
is striving With wisdom and industry to
satisfy all reasonable demands OF the
people.

Post Office affairs continue to occupy a
good share of the attention of Congress,
and nearly every day there is an outburst
OF indignation in the House. The Nc
Call committee of investigation is busy at
work trying to get exact information.
The much abused fourth Assistant Post
master General, Bristow, has appeared
before the committee, and astonished it
by saying there is liberty full OF cor
respondence from Congressman preserved
in the Department. This can beinspected
confdentially. The famous report was
prepared by inspectors at the instance Of
the Postmaster General. In the House
the Post Office appropriation bill is being
closely scrutinized, and it has lspen de-
cided to abolish in countr, fost Offices
such titles as cashier superintendent
of carriers" and "superintendents of in
quiry," and put all employees upon an
equal footing and with equal salaries.
To-day the members of the House took
an excursion to jamestown, Va, to view
the site of the exhibition which is to
be held in 1907. This is another "epoch"
exhibition, and will probably require an
appropriation. Members of the House
wish to know how the 81 ,O70, 600 for the
old Panama canal commission was ex-
pended.

It was after repeated conferences with
the President that the Secretary OF the
Interior and the Commissioner of Pension
arrived at solution of the seryice-pen.
sion problem which has given consider
able anxiety to Congress. A liberal IN
terpretation of the present pension laws
was determined upon and an old age
pension agreed to. This will take less
than ten millions of dollars out OF the
Treasury annually, and will satisfy the
promoters of the new scheme. Claimants
over 62 years of age will be rated as dis
abled one-half. As this result pleases all
concerned, there will be no new pension
legislation at this session of Congress.
Senator Dietrich of Nebraska will be ex-
onerated of all the charges brought
against him and the President will re-
move Atty. Gen. Summers of that state.
The President has ordered further in
quiry into the New York Post Office.

that Secretary Hay will continue to be

re-opened the question, and may permit
him to earn two salaries at odd moments.

Seven or eight hundred miles OF rail-
roads to cost some forty millions OF dol
lars, are proposed as benefit to the Phil
ippine Islands, in the way of developing
trade. New York capitalists hesitate to
invest in the project unless the United
States Government will insure certain
income on the investment. Secretary
Taft is opposed to the government build
ing the roads. Congressman Cooper has
introduced bill providing for four per
cent. guarantee for these railways upon
an investment of forty millions OF dollars.
This burden would probably fall upon
the Philippine treasury.

THE DODGE WILL CASE.

This case, in which many Maine people
are interested, is still on trial at Jackso

Mrs. Dodge's mental sOundness. The Jack

Mrs. Dodge at the Windsor Hotel a number
of times, the last time during January, 1904.
He said he had known Mrs. Dodge since he
was little boy. lie gave facts to show
Mrs. Dodge's good memory and her sound
mental condition.
Mrs. Mary E. Smith of :Bucksport Center,
Me, niece of Mrs. Dodge, testified her long
and Intimate relations with Mrs. Dodge,
particularly relating to the visits of Mrs.
Dodge during the summers of 1902 and 1903
Mrs. Dodge always made her home with
Mrs. Smith when she was in Maine, said
the witness. In 1908 Mrs. Dodge told her
(the witness) that she had made new will,
and that Mr. Macdonald was made sole ex-
ecutor; that the old will had been opened
and read, and that the new will was in a
safe deposit vault, and that MIR. Macdonald
had a copy of it. In referring to the new
will Mrs. Dodge told her she wanted that
will to stand. In all her relations with her
she never saw anything to indicate Mrs
Dodge was of unsOund mind. Mrs. Smith
identified a number of letters written BY
Mrs. Dodge to her mother, Mrs. Haley, the
sister to Mrs. Dodge, and some written to
herself. These letters were offered in evil
dence. A number of letters were also iden-
titled by Mrs. Smith from Frank Cullens to
her. These letters were not at present Of

accustomed to winter in their home.
and returned at once to assume his
duties at Washington.
Representative Lynch, whose home
was in Portland, tells US that he lived a
quiet life. with his family, and in his
garden and library. Some time after
my return home from Washington 1
made some inquiries in Portland in re-
gard to the Senator's garden, and found
the facts to be that he loved his garden
and all floral life. In my conversation
with Mr.. Smith l found that he was
well versed in the woods and tree life of
Maine, although he had never been i'll
the State, his knowledge having in
most part been gained from Senator
FesSenden.
Having learned so much of the inner
and lovable side of Senator Fessenden,
it was gratifying to see in the address
of Senator Trumball: ''My feelings
would not have allowed the occasion to
pass away without laying upon the
token of my affection and regard and
though the flowers bring are gathered
by the wayside, they represent love
and respect no less sincere than those
which have been more skillfully select
ed and arranged for this occasion.
And again the beautiful expressions
of Senator Cattell: "My purpose is
more simple and grateful one. bring
from the garden of the heart few
fresh, modest flowers, dripping with
the dew of affection, to cast upon the
grave of the friend loved"
And as the years roll by the worth of
this noblest Roman of them all becomes
more and more appreciated, and the
stand taken by him in the impeachment
case of Andrew johnson was, as Sena-
tor Morrill, said of his character, on
granite basis, as immovable as the
granite hills of his native State. And
when the history of this great Ameri-
| can country is written, it will be writ
ten of Senator Fessenden of Maine
that he builded better than even he

What Might Have Happened.

BELFAST, Dec II. The saloons of
this city were responsible last week for
what might have been severe accident
tut for the kind interference of good
dame luck. The incident reported here
happened Saturday, Dec. 10th, but has
just come to light. A gentleman, whose
name is not necessary, was in the city
on that day with a large dump cart.
During the day he imbibed rather freely
and started for home in the afternoon,
we'll intoxicated. AS he crossed the
lower Rollerson crossing, the horse
mistook the M. C. R. R., track for the
road and got the wheels of the cart
caught. After vainly trying to clear
them the owner crawled on a bank near
by and fell asleep. The cart stayed
there until nearly time for the Cos
train when two Belfast men passing
noticed something on the track, investi-
gated and removed the cart This
might have been serious accident as
less things than this have caused derail-
ments and serious results.-Correspond-
ence Bangor Commercial.

Charge Against Veazie Postmaster

BANGOR, Me-, Dec. 13. Albert H.
Gilman, postmaster at Veazie, was ar
rested this afternoon on complaint of
post office inspector c. l. Jennings by
q. S. Marshal Henry W. Mayo. Gil
man is charged with embezzlement
from the government of money order
funds to the amount of about $500
When the inspector visited the office
today he discovered number of false
entries, and being asked for an explana.
ton Gilman is understood to have
made full confession, saying that his
populations had been going on for near
ly year, but declined to give any
reason for his action.
Gilman is about 50 years old and has
an invalid wife. He has been post
master for seven years, is quite prom
inent citizen of the town and has pre-
viously had good reputation.
He was taken in charge by U. S.
Deputy Marshal Hasty and brought be-
fore Z. $. Commissioner Hamlin to-
night and placed under $4,000 bonds for
appearance at the February term of
the Z. S. district court in Portland.
Gilman failed to get bonds and is locked

him the lasting gratitude of the men,
bers. While grand master he showed
his utter contempt for traditional usage
by appointing for the first time a woman
to the office of district deputy grand
master, with power to install officers
and inspect lodges. Mr.. Dyers interest
in this particular branch is so univer
sally recognized, that when the Re-
bekah assembly was organized in this
State, Grand Master Robinson commits
stoned him to arrange for the same,
and to show appreciation of his ser
vices, the Rebekahs of Maine presented
him with magnificent past grand rep
resentative's collar, every lodge in the
State contributing. He became a men,
Der of the grand lodge of Maine Aug.
10, 1875 and was elevated to the office
of grand master in 1890. In 1891 he
was elected grand representative for
the term of two years, serving at the
sessions held at st. Louis, Mo-, and
Portland, Ore. He was also appointed
grand representative in place of Chas.
0. Small, P. G. NJ, resigned, attending
the session at Des MOines, Iowa, in
1902. at this latter session he was
honored by being made chairman of a
special committee to revise the burial
ceremony. And this calls to mind that
in 1894 committee entitled ''In Memo
RAM was established in the grand
lodge and for ten years as chairman of
that committee he has faithfully and
sympathetically written the obituaries
that grace the grand lodge journals.
In 1896 he was appointed assistant
grand secretary, filling that office until
the death of Joshua Davis, upon which
event he was elected grand secretary,
an office that he has held ever since.
Mr.. Dyer is member of the Masonic
fraternity, the G. A. r., and several
other organizations but nothing OBJ
scures his intense love for Odd Fellow
ship.
July 2, 1871, he married Hannah
Haugh and has one daughter, Mrs. E..
B. Thompson of Bangor.
Mr.. Dyer is genial, companionable
fellow with a fund of stories which
makes him rare company, especially as
a travelling companion. He is good
speaker and very popular with lodge
gatherings everywhere.

TUBERCULOSIS.

Maine Board of Health Waging War on it.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Dec. -. "More than
S1,500,o00 is the loss incurred every
year in our State by the prevalence of
tuberculosis, not to count the heart
aches and misery" is an Introductory
statement in the 18th report of the
Maine board of health issued today.
The report states that in the years
1902 there were S92 deaths from the
whole list of other infectious diseases,
while tuberculosis carried off 2241.
The board reports considerable fall
ing off in the mortality of typhoid
fever, diphtheria and scarlet fever A
considerable portion of the report is
devoted to the consideration Of the
smallpox situation for the past few
years. A large percentage of the cases
have been mild and the mortality upon
the whole has been slight. For the
years 1902 and 1908 there were 231S cases
of smallpox, but in 1908 the death rate
was less than one-half of per cent.
Ina State where vacationists spend
$10,00O,000 or more annually the board
feels that most stringent measures
should be taken to guard against the
appearance of the disease.
The first annual report Of the work
in the State laboratory of hygiene was
made today by the director, DR.. J. ?.
Russell.
The report shows that 427 specimens
of sputum have been examined for
tubercle bacilli, that 634 cultures for
diphtheria bacilli have been made, and
1877 specimens of blood tested for the
Vidal reaction. Aside from this rou-
tine work 957 samples of water were ex-
amined for colon bacilli, 211 samples of
water have received sanitary analysis
and 1929 tests have been made to deter
mine the efficiency of formaldehyde
liberated by the permanganate process.
