The proposed new lighthouse on Isle au
Haut. il placed on Isle au Haul head,
would be valuable aid to navigation in
this vicinity. Isle au Hsut head, at the
entrance to Jericho bay, is the usual point
of departure for vessels going to sea from
Bluehill and Union river bays, and is
made by vessels coming in after departure
from Matinicus Rock. Making land on a
dark or thick night is not always the
easiest thing to do, and the entrance to
Jericho bay is not the safest place on the
Maine coast to lose your bearings II the
light is located ON Isle au Haut head, it
will be a welcome beacon to the mariners
of this section. Another lighthouse
recommended by the department is at
Buckle Island harbor at the entrance to
the York uarrows. near Ninalhaven.

Mir. Musarove's Plan.

It is inspiring to see how this dis trict is rallying to the aid of the stricken ones at Virginia City. Our people are doing nobly, and fund will be raised that will not only sup port the helpless, but will go far towards educating the children that were suddenly bereft by overwheln- ing disaster The great heart of the district goes out to them, and they will, let us hope, no longer feel that side of human sympathy and human aid.
 But large sum will be needed, for about three hundred orphans will need education as we'll as support. Tho plan of Mr. Musgrove seems emi- nently practical and fitting. He asks all miners and mine workers to give one days work to the families of the dead miners, and then he asks the coal companies to sell the coal mined on that day, turning over the proceeds to the Virginia City sufferers. Here is proposition all can unite upon, union as well as non-union, black as well as white. All lines disappear in the face of suffering and distress. The Age-Herald believes that the Musgroye plan should be accepted in every mine in this district. It would roll up fund that would bring relief where relief is sorely needed-where self-support is well-nigh impossible, where little children stand with nc breadwinner near-where the memory of disaster is the only legacy. MT | Musgroye's humane and sensible plar is needed, and it's execution will be easy if all will help it along.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Another Mine Disaster.

'~ebtf Mi1c OlSdSASis
 The mine explosion at Virginia City reminds me of another tragedy that hap pened in the Warrior coal fields just dooVe Tuscaloosa several years ago. said man about town. while the loss of hie was not great and there was none of the horror of an explosion, the experi- ences Of the entombed miners were hair raising in the extreme.
 I may not be accurate in my figures, but the general details that I am going to relate are correct.
 Fourteen negro miners were working In small mine on the bank of the War rior river one day when they were cut off from the shaft by rush of water 1t appears that the men were digging coal in tunnel in proximity to an aban- doned shaft that was filled with water and communicated with the river. One of the negroes drove his pick through the intervening wall of earth and in an instant the water rushed in, filling up the chambers of the mine and cutting off all hope of escape by way of the shaft.
 "One negro who was standing on the tramway that led to the bottom of the vertical shaft. with rare presence of mind, dived into the black swirliHg water, and by clinging to the rails, made his way to the shaft, rose to the surface and by his shouts gave first warning of the dis aster that had overtaken his compan- ions
 Meanwhile the remaining 13 men had sought refuge on a slope where they crouched close up under the roof or earth and watched the water slowly creep toward them, its advance watched in an agony of dispair by the fickering light of one or two lamps that they had sense enough not to drop in the excitement.
 After hours of terror and suspense the men heard the faint throb of the pump and knew that efforts were being made for their rescue. It was long fight. The pump broke down and it was feared that not one of the negroes would be taken out, but after three days, I believe, the water was low enough for them to crawl to the mouth of the shaft where their cries brought speedy assistance
 "Only two of the negroes were killed, and I think both were drowned in the first rush of water, but it would take a master hand to paint the experiences of those men shut up in the impenetrabe gloom that ensued after their lamps burned out and waiting for the unseen water to rise over their heads.

BIRMINGHAM A MARKET.
Inc Canebrake Herald.

From the Canebrake Herald.
 Birmingham is great and growing. It takes an immense amount of stuff to feed it. Very little of this is furnished. by the Canebrake and yet it's power in this regard Is practically unlimited. This sec tion ships to that city no corn, no oats. no eggs, no poultry. no beef, no mutton, in fact nothing but little hay. Here Is an outlet for diversification Let all the people get together and fix to SUD- ply the wants of the mining region. They can do so if they will. Warehouses should be built to hold the grain and hay so that prompt shipments may be guar anteed and that grain and hay can be as good collateral in the bank as is the bale of cotton.
 There should be concert of action be- tween the merchant, the banker and the planter. All are interested in keeping alive the goose that lays the golden egg. and that goose of prosperity can not live if cotton goes much lower.
 So diversity must be the rule.

Restriciinu Immigration.

A bill Is pending in the House of Representative to limit immigration to S0,000 from any single country in any one year. This is intended to re- duce the tides flowing this way of Austria Hungary, Italy and Russia. The plan proposed would reduce i'm migration from the three countries, leaving untouched immigration from other countries.
 The south is interested in having the Italian immigration go on un- checked, and it is perhaps best for the south that all white immigration go unchecked. This section greatly needs white immigrants, and If the total immigration rises this year to one million this section of the couu try will certainly get good many new citizens.
 The bill to restrict immigration to a maximum of 80.000 from any one country will not become, however, a law at this session of Congress. It will not be acted on in the House, and it's chance of passage in any Congress is not very good. This country has not yet reached point when 1t has too many white men, and it will do well indeed if it reaches such a point at the end of the present century. Our population is still sparse, espe- cially in the far west and in the south, and neither of these sections can afford to vote against the incom- ing of white persons. The south de- sires white immigrants, and 1t will take Huns or Russians if it cannot get Italians.

Woman Suffraqe Restinq.

Kansas and Montana have long permitted women to vote at school and some municipal elections. but both states have this winter refused to give complete suffrage to women. Many states, perhaps twenty all told, admit women to the ballot in school elections, and even New York permits women property owners to vote on propositions relating to taxation or assessments.
 But complete suffrage for women is granted in Colorado, Idaho, Wyom- ing and Utah-four all told. In these states woman suffrage is no novelty. Wyoming had 1t when it was a terri tory, and its entire experience covers a third of century. Colorado granted woman the suffrage in 1896, and Utah and Idaho did likewise in 1896. In the four states no suffrage line whatever is drawn between men and women. All vote in all elections from President down to constable.
 Woman suffrage is still considered tentative, and the refusal of Kansas and Montana to adopt 1t has given it B setback. It is believed, however, 1t will gradually be extended to at least a dozen states, and if women would show desire for it it would be extended in perhaps all the states. The chief obstacle now in the way Is the Indifference of woman herself. As a rule she would not walk across the street to obtain it.

Defending the Cold Wave.

The Weather Bureau in bulletin No. 34 comes to the defense of the unpop- ular cold wave as follows:
 It is probable that much of the physical and intellectual energies that have caused the people of the United States to excel in agriculture and in commerce was produced by the invigora ting effect of the cold, dry, highly electrified air of the North American cold wave.
 The North American cold wave is a delusion scientifically speaking. It Is a delusion to say that people thrive an1 are vigorous in cold countries only. Rome once ruled the world, and Rome is not supplied with cold waves, and never has been. Japan is a rice-grow- ing country, and rice is not a product of cold countries, and Japan holds a pretty vigorous people.
 Scientists say that cold waves ere ate additional drunkenness, and sui cides, and diseases. Errors" in banks are increased, and convicts misbehave. Extreme cold, say the scientists, is as harmful as extreme heat.
 The truth is, no one needs the North American cold wave. If we never saw it again we would not miss it, or mourn it's departure. It harnesses this country as no other country is harassed by climatic changes. It does not mean steady weather of any sort It means succession of changes that are severe test even upon the TO. bust.
 But the American cold wave can. not be headed off or mitigated by pub lie sentiment. It bloweth where t listeth, and this year it has listed a great deal It has overdone the wave business so much, it has rendered the wave business extremely unpopular and If an extension of it were left to a vote the North American cold wave would be hopelessly voted down and out.
