Where Kissing Is Unknown.

It has long been known to ethnol-

tribes and races the practice of kiss
ing was unknown. Among the Lapps
and the Maoris, rubbing of noses oc

of Japan. a country which promises
to take so important a place in the
making of future history, still knows
nothing of the practice Of kissing.

A MYSTERY OF THE SEA.

Wednesday morning, Dec. It'll, a trunk
was picked up in the water near Tillson's
wharf, Rockand, and taken to the police
station. In the trunk was an open letter
directed to Alfred Riley, Prospect, Maine.
The word Prospect had been scratched out
and Mt. Desert substituted. In the trunk
was also a picture of a young man smoothly
shaven, and ID quantity of clothing. The
trunk was tied up with rope. 1t had been
broken open and the lock broken off. 1t was
a small zinc trunk, somew hat battered, with
the name of Alfred Riley upon it, and had
evidently been in the water some little time
as seaweed had worked inside. The same
day a small boat was found floating in the
water near Birds wharf, Rockland, partly
full of water. Near it was a broken Oar
painted lead color The boat was painted
white and was about Il feet long. In the
bottom when the water was removed were
found a quantity of smoked herring and
beans. 1t was thought at first there might
be some connection between the boat and
the trunk, but was finally decided that the
boat was one of those used in picking up
the stuff which tioated out into the harbor
the night of the Thorndike Il Ilix fire.

AGIN A THIRD TERM.
Democratic State Committee Turns Down
State Assessor POttle.

Democratic State Committee Turns Down
State Assessor POttle.
The Democratic State Committee met in
Fairfield Dec 9th with IA of the 16 counties
represented. Chairman Jones presided.
1t was decided to begin active work at once
in the perfection of an organization for the
State campaign of 1906. A feature of the
meeting was the turning down of State
Assessor Pottle, the Democratic member of
the board, whose second term of six years
expires this winter The following resolu-
ton was adopted:
In our campaign we charged the Republi-
cans with retaining men in office altogether
too long and it would be inconsistent for us
to keep one person eighteen years in the
only office at our disposal. For this reason
we hope and trust that our representatives
in the Legislature will be governed by this
consideration in selecting the Democratic
member of the State Board of Assessors.
It is the sense of the Democratic State
Committee that one term Of six years is q
sufficient period of service for any member
of the State Board of Assessors.
The Lewiston Sun thinks the Democrats
shave made another blunder." 1t says:
Every year that Mr.. P0ttle has served on
the board should make him more valuable
Assessor, greater credit to the State and
to his party. If he is to be turned down it
should be because he has not been good
Assessor.
What the Democratic party of Maine
needs is not offices but that every Democrat
who holds an Office shall prove SO good a
man for the place that more Democrats
shall be considered for Office.
Poor hungry party if it must pass around
one little stick of candy for suck apiece.

EXECUTIONS IN MAINE.
Some Incidents and Statistics COncernil
Capital Punishment.

Some Incidents and Statistics Concerning
Capital Punishment.
State Librarian Carver has been looking
through the State records TO make up list
of executions by hanging for the crime of
murder that have occurred in Maine since
it became State, and during the time the
law for the int1iction of capital punishment
remained on the statute books. He finds
record of only nine men hanged for murder,
namely: Seth Elliott of Knox, hanged at
CaStine February 3, 1925; Joseph j. Sagar
of Gardiner, at Augusta January 2, 1885;
Francis G. Spencer of Knox, at ThOmaston
May 20, 1864 Clifton Harris of Auburn, at
ThomastOn February II, 1859: John I.
Gordon of Thorndike and Louis IL. F.
Wagner Of Germany, at Thomaston June
25, 1875; Carmen Santore and Raffaele
CapOne Of Italy, at Thomaston April II,
1885; Daniel Wilkinson Of England, at
Thomaston November 80, 1885, There have
included in Mr.. Carver's list. A man
named Ball was hanged in Hancock county,
at Castine, We believe, many years ago,
and the halter used on the occasional rope
big enough for haWser-s still exhibited
to the curious in the office Of the Jail at
Ellsworth. And the event left its impress
sion on the vernacuiar of the people all
along that section of the Maine coast.
On the day of the execution, a furious
storm was raging, which was long after
ward referred to for comparison. And
to this day we frequently hear people
from down that way speaking OF particu-
larly bad storm as "the worst since Ball
was hung" The phrase has hardened into
a colloquialism, and is often used by people
! who never heard of its origin. Then there
was an execution in the yard Of the brand
new court house at Auburn in the spring of
1859-or about that year. Two sailors nam
ed Williams and COx-the latter colored
man-Were hanged there for the murder of
an officer OF ship, on which they We're sea-
man. They were hanged by the U. S. Mar
lows erected in front of the county build
ings, and the Auburn Artillery and Lewis
ton Light Infantry did guard duty on the
occasion. There was considerable sympa-
thy for the culprits in that community, as
| they seemed to be poor, ignorant fellows, but
not naturally vicious, and it was suspected
that they were driven to the crime by abuse.
The wife of the murdered man came a long
journey to see the execution, and visited
the condemned men in their cell just pre-
viOus to it. 1t was said that one of the men
went down on his knees to her and implor-
! ed her forgiveness, but she refused and
exulted in their fate. Mr.. Caryer's ghast-
ly statistics are certainly incomplete,
and there may be other omissions than
those noted. Moreover, he gives the
i date of the execution of the Italians San-
tore and Capone as April 8, 1885. The war
rant was made for their execution on that
date, but the day was Good Friday, and the
ecclesiastics made such row that Cover
nor RObie committed the sentence to April
18th, and the men were hanged on that day

The Steamboat War.

The only new feature of the steamboat
war on the Penobscot is the hauling off of
the Merryconeag, with the promise of a
smaller boat in her place There are indi-
cations that the Pemaquid has come to stay,
and Capt. Bennett of the Golden Rod, who
holds to the 25-cent fare, is getting a good
patronage. Sunday General Manager
Devereaux of the Bucksport, Belfast and
Camden Steamboat Co., issued the following
statement:
The company has decided to withdraw
the steamer Merryconeag from the route for
the present. She will remain at BuckspOrt.
With the Maine Central R. R. in competi-
tion the travel is not sufficient for the COM
pany to maintain so large and fast boat
as the MerrycOneag on this route.
Another boat similar to the MerrycOneag
in appearance, of nearly the same speed
and which can be operated at nearly half
the expense, will be placed on the route as
soon as she can be made ready.
A hearing began in Bangor last Monday
morning at 9 O'Clock before the United
States local steamboat inspectors Cousens
and Blaisdell in regard to the recent col
lision in Belfast barbor between the rival
steamboats,, the Merryconeag and the
Golden Rod. A. NJ. Devereaux, general man.
ager of the Bucksport, Belfast and Camden
steamboat line, Capt. Chas. Shute, captain
of the Merryconeag, D. W. Kerst, engineer,
Harry Witham, purser, with other wit
nesses from Belfast, Camden, Castine,
Stockton Springs and Prospect represented
the Merryconeag, and Capt. w. D. Bennett
and Guy Bennett of the Golden Rod and
witnesses from Bucksport, Rockland and
other places represented the Golden Rod.
The hearing is secret, and the finding of
the inspectors will not be made public for
several days.
1t is reported on good authority that the
Maine Central has bought for the Bucks
port and Rockland route the twin screw
steamer Quaker City of Philadelphia. This
boat is II feet longer and 80 tons larger
than the Pemaquid and is driven by two
triple-expansion engines 10, Is, % cylinder
IS stroke developing 1000 horse power.
She is comparatively new boat having
been turned out by the famous builders of
the Wilmington Steamboat Co., and is said
to be flyer.
