1t is also sad to see two such emf

that the matter be submitted to arbi-
tration and that James E. Cumming,
late editor Of the Portland Press and
Advertiser. now enjoying life in sunny
Italy, be made the arbitrator. When
Dunning was with us here in Maine
this kind of a controversy was just to
his liking, and his dissertations on the

will ever be ranked as classics of Mnine

Miss Rooseveit's Presents.

A Washington correspondent who has
been looking up the records points out
that if Congress cares to remit the
duties On Miss Roosevelt's many Valu-
able gifts from Eastern potentates, as
has been suggested, it has good pre-
cedent for doing so. When General
Grant made his tour of the world in
1879 and 1880 he received numerous
presents from governments, rulers, and
individuals. Some were sent to San
Francisco, where they remained in
bond, and others were brought back by
General Grant when he crossed the
Atlantic. Congress passed special
act relieving him from the payment of
duty on the gifts. Even more in line
with Miss Roosevelt's case, however,
was the precedent established in the
case of Minnie Sherman Fitch, daugh-
ter of Gen. William T. Sherman. to
whom the khedive of Egypt sent as a
wedding present a magnificent diamond
necklace. The duties upon the gift,
had they been properly levied. would
have amounted to more than all of the
property of Mr.. and Mrs. Fitch. Sena-
tor Morrill, of Maine took the initi-
ative, on April 20, 1876, by asking
unanimous consent Of congress to in
troduce bill to authorize Mrs. Fitch.
as daughter of "a distinguished
American" to receive the diamond
necklace free of all duty. The propri-
ETY. of such action was discussed by
such men as Roscoe Conkling. Hanni-
bal Hamlin. George F. Edmunds.
Justin F. Morrill,, and Thomas F.
gift should be admitted free of duty.
Senator Morrill, stating that it would
be very 'ungrateful to have the pres
| ent sent back to the khedive of Egypt"
| and the late Senator j. 3. Gordon of
Alabama declaring that ito send it
| back would be an insult" Congress
passed the bill.
The Mrs. Fitch precedent would seem
to make the way clear for Miss Roose-
Welt. Like Mrs. Fitch. she is the
daughter of "a distinguished Ameri-
can" 1t also appears that in spite of
Miss Roosevelt's assurance that the
value of the presents has been grossly
exaggerated" the custom house
charges will mount high into the thou
sands. Twenty-three packing cases
one IL feet square, were necessary to
ship the gifts from San Francisco to
Washington, and inasmuch as presents
were given by the sultan of Sulu. the
emperor of Korea, the dowager en-
press of China, the mikado of Japan
and other crowned heads, it is highly
| probable that their value is consider
| able.

Griffin of Braintree, Mass. who has
lust been invited to the pastorate Of
the Second Unitarian church at the
corner of Clinton and Congress streets,
Brooklyn, one of the largest and
strongest churches of the Unitarian de-

is a former Augusta boy. the son OF
beloved Augusta clergyman and a
graduate of Cony High school,.
Mr.. Griffin is still under 30 years OIL
age, but has won splendid success III

Gated wholly free from debt His

will agree with the Standardization
when it says Of him, HE is fearless.
and energetic and an indefatigable
worker, and it is safe to say that in the
event Of his acceptance the Brooklyn
church will gain much by his coming"
MIR. Griffin has not accepted the call to

speaks as though the acceptance was
expected.

Wireless telegraphy scored some new
triumphs during the Presidents sea
voyage, and incidentally there were
some interes ing results which give
new force to the scriptural declaration
that 1.-THE wind bloweth where it list
eth" Wireless messages from battle
ship West Virginia, bearing President
Roosevelt back to Washington through
the Gulf of Mexico, were caught by the
L. s. Signal Corps at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kansas, many hundreds of miles
inland. The corps wasn't fishing for
the message, but just experimenting
with kites. More remarkable still,
they caught messages with the same
kites from ships at sea off the Atlantic
coast, and one from young woman on
board a Gulf steamer to friends in
Houston. telling when she should be
home. This is the first instance of a
wireless message being intercepted so
far inland from ships on the Atlantic.
Science has not yet, it appears, fully
realized the possibilities of wireless

Cold Weather, Fat Turkeys.

Chicago Chronicle.)
"Cold weather makes fat turkeys,
said the pOulterer.
"Why?"
Because in warm fall the ground
keeps soft, the vegetation fingers on
and the fields are full of worms and
bugs. What's the result? The result
is that the turkeys, from sunrise till
dark. tramp the tempting fields on
long forages. eating the worms and
bugs. which thin them, and walking all
their soft and fine flesh into tough
stringy muscle.
"A cold fall. with early frosts and
SHOWS. freezes the ground and kills
the bugs. Then the turkeys are not
tempted to wander. They loaf in
farmyard, gorge on an abundance OF
grain. and put on flesh like a middle
aged woman at a seashOre hotel.
But in warm fall hunting the
irresistible bug the turkeys do their
Is or 20 miles regularly. and become
athletes. For athletic turkeys there is
no public demand.

While~the prospect is bright for Ok
1ahoma, there seems little or no chance
that Arizona or New Mexico will be
admitted to the Union during the COM
ing session of Congress. Congressman
Tawney of Minnesota, who is at the
head of a congressional party which
has beer on a visit to the southwest
srn territories tells an interviewer that
these two must wait a while longer.
He says that conditions are not yet
ripe for the admission of either Arizona
or New Mexico into the Union. He
considers that the wisest move for
these two territories at this time would
be to cease the agitation of the ques-
ton. While admitting that there Is
nothing wrong with the people or the
natural conditions. he believes that ad-
mission to statehood would unsettle the
present progressive conditions ant
would check the inflow of capital fol
the material development of the terri
tories. Within the next five years
says Mr.. Tawney, Arizona and New
Mexico will doubtless have made tire
