Slot Machines a Nuisance.

Bangor, Me.-The Maine law coMrt
has ruled that a slot machine selling
cigars, even if it pays a cigar and
even more for every coin, is gam.
bling machine in the sense of the law,
and can be proceeded against as a
nuisance.
The decision makes every slot cigar
machine now in operation in Maine a
nuisance and liable to seizure, with at
tendant prosecutions.
The rescript was drawn by Justice
Emery, and it is as follows: ITO con
stitute gambling in the statutory
sense of the term it is not necessary
that both parties should stand to lose
as well as to win by the chance in
voked. 1t is enough that one party
stands to win only or to lose only.
"A slot machine, so operated that
the operator receives In any event a
cigar of the value of his coin and also
stands to win by chance, additional
cigars, without further payment, is a
gambling device.
"a cigar store where such machine
is set up for the use of customers and
is used by them, becomes thereby o
statutory nuisance and may be en-
joined as SUCH"

Bust Unveiled at Capitol.

Washington.--Amb bassador Jusser-

replica of the original marble bust of
George Washington. Feb. %, which
was destroyed by fire in the library

took place in the rotunda at the
capitol, where the bust was unveiled
and in the Presidents room in the SEN

by the ambassador on behalf of the
French donors, and by Senator Wet.

Gloucester Mass.--Capt. Manuel Ca
ton and 10 of his crew, Of the schooner
Philomena Manta of Provincetown,
will always have cause to remember
the anniversary of Washington's birth
day, 1906. The schooner Joseph w
IAfkin, Capt Charles White, of this
port, sailed into the harbor with the
Manta's crew, and thankful enough
they we're to step on land again.
But for the opportune presence of
the Lufkin on the fishing banks, the
fate Of the Manta and her crew would
probably have always remained mys.
terry
Sunday morning, Feb. 49, the Man.
tas mast became unstepped and
swayed violently around. The mast
opened great seams in the deck, into
which the water poured. The pumps
were at once manned, but despite the
greatest exertion of the crew, the water
gained rapidly.
Capt White, by expert seamanship,
brought his vessel within 25 feet of
the Manta, and dory containing four
men dropped down to the Lufkin, and
the crew was taken aboard Then
Capt. White would bear off and tack
down near the vessel again, and four
more would be rescued.
1t took four hours at this danger
Gus work before the entire 16 were
rescued.
This is the fourth crew that Capt
White has saved under similar cir
cumstances, in all about 80 lives. For
his gallant conduct on one of these oc.
casions he was given medal by the
u. s. government

London-A strong chord of indig,
nation is sounded by the London daily
newspapers over the semi-official
statement relative to the decision of
the North, Sea commission giving to
Russia the victory, but it is still hoped
that the publication Of the full text
of the commissions report may mod
ify the impression produced by the
preliminary version, which is one of
Intense disappointment,
The Daily Mail goes SO far as to de-
clare that the decision has dealt a
death blow to arbitration. Some Of
the newspapers blame the government
strongly for ever consenting to sub
ject such a matter to arbitration,
while some of the government organs
find cold comfort in the fact that the
country by doing so avoided war with
Russia.
No question is raised that the de
cision must be respected and Great
7ritain's share of the heavy cost will
ruefully paid.

Portsmouth, N. H.-The big basin at
Hendersons Point, which is being ex.
cavated preparatory to blowing up the
entire point and deepening and
Strengthening the Piscataqua river,
was flooded Feb. % by break in the
wall, and 900 laborers got out so hast,
lily that pumps, tools and drills were
left behind.
The break was discovered in the up
per part of the basin, and is thought
to have been caused by the pressure
of the unusually high tide. When 1t
was first noticed the water was spurt'
ing from hole about foot in diam
eter. The alarm was at once sounded
and the workmen, dropping their tools
scrambled to the top of the basin
Before the last man mad left the rent
In the wall had increased to 10-foot
hole and the water was pouring like
a cataract into the basin, which was
filled in Is minutes.
The accident will delay the work at
the point about three weeks.
This Is the third accident at the
basin, the cofferdam having given
way twice.
One of the contractors said the
damage, aside from the delay, would
be about $4,000.

Paris.-A semi-official statement has
appeared relative to the work of tho
international commission which has
been considering the North sea incl
dent. 1t is as follows:
"The Hull commission met in the
morning of Feb. % In the ministry of
foreign affairs, and again in the after
noon, in order to proceed to final
examination of the report recapitu-
lRting its conclusions.
The report is rather long, compris-
ing about 10 large pages.
"The principal author is Admiral
Won Spaur { Austrian), but all the
members of the commission collabor-
nted In drawing It up. The commits
sion gives no opinion on the question
of the presence or absence of Japa-
nese torpedo boats in the North sea,
declaring merely that the Russian ad-
miral quite legitimately believed that
his squadron was endangered, and that
he had the right under the circum-
stances to act as he did. The COM
missloners refer to the Russian gov
ernment's engagements to indemnify
