Senator Pierce of ArOOStOOk, an
peared on behalf of the mill owners on
the Fish river below Eagle lake who
would be affected by the petition 10
prevent the throwing of sawdust and
other mill waste into Fish rive. and
its tributaries. Mr.. Pierce said that
the petitioners did not mean to in
clude the Fort Kent Mill Co. or other
smaller mills run by water power on
the Fish river below Eagle lake. That
.eglSl ton was wanted to prevent saw
dust ana other mill refuse from being
thrown into the lakes or streams emp
tying into the lakes of the Fish river
system ana hence injuring the fishing
IN these waters. He said that no fish
ing was done below the Fort Kent Mill
dam ana very little if any at all on the
Fish river below Eagle lake.

Kent Mill Co. appeared i'm the COM

getting rid of their waste than nv

land fisheries in favor of the resolve
calling for $500 for the purposing Of
screening the outlet Of Sebattus pond.

Hon. l.. r. Carleton of the fish and
game commission said that the pond
WAS one of the most beautiful in the
State. That some years ago the COM
mission stocked the lake with white
perch which under the peculiar en-
vlronments multiplied more rapidly
than any other place in the State he
knew of. a few years ago the atten-
tion of the commission was called to
the fact that large numbers of the fish
We're escaping over the dam at the foot

"How the Jews Were Rescued"


At the First Methodist church Sun
day Rev. J. S. Hawkins preached the
fourth sermon Of series on the
Book of Esther His text was Esther
4:16:
"And so will I go In unto the king
His subject was, "How the Jews
Were Rescued and he said in part:
In the morning service we closed
the study of this tragedy, with Ha-
man, the boodling lobbyist, and King
Ahasuerus, the bribe taker. sitting
down together to drink nation of
people have been condemned to die.
Men. women and children. young and
old alike, condemned to die. And for
a price.
'.When Mordecai perceived all that
was done. he rent his clothes. and
put on sackcloth with ashes, and went
cut into the midst of the city. and
cried with loud and bitter cry
You hear the expressions, "cried
like a child" "cried like a woman"
There are circumstances when strong
men break down and weep like chill
dren. No one knows better than he
the meaning OF this decree. He clothes
himself in sackcloth with ashes and
sits at the gate to await results.
The queen knows nothing of this de-
cree. She learns of his being at the
gate thus attired and sends raiment
for him to put on. He refuses. She
knows something very unusual has
happened. so she sends a trusty and
intelligent servant, Halach, to learn
the distress of her father.
Then Mordecai opens up the whole
affair. giving him finally copy of the
decree. Told him of the amount of
silver Haman had offered, and i'm
pressed him with the idea that she
must go in before the king and inter
cede for her people.
Esther shrank from the task, and at
first refused to go. She reminded Nor
decai of law to the effect that no one
was allowed to enter this inner court
Hninvited, and that it had been closed
fer thirty days. Too she knew this
decree bespoke the kings state oi
mind. No wonder she hesitated.
But Mordecai could not afford to re
cede. No. no, he must press for
ward. Then he sent to her message
to the effect that she must rememhe,
that her own. blood is Jewish blood
and that she is with all the rest Of
the Jews condemned. Then reminds

Another large crowd was present at

tional exercises were opened by Mr..
Stitch, who has been with the Y. M.

Many expressed regret that Mr..
Stitch was going away.
Rev, J. S. Hawkins spoke on David
the Best Pitcher of His Nine"
He had the attention of the boys
from the beginning, and brought out
the strong points in David's character
In such way as to deeply impress
any wide-awake young man.
So soon as he had spoken of the
strong brotherhood of David and Jona-
than, and referred to David's seven
other brethren, insisting that David
had distinguished himself above all
others CT the nine, and that his first
reputation was won as a pitcher, Go.

For several minutes he kept the
boys in an uproar of laughter by an
ecdotes CT happy and appropriate ap-
plication He then sketched Davids
life from the insignificant "Cow-boy
to King" and insisted that when Da-
vid laid aside his crown to his success
or, King Solomon, he left his own name
without an equal in all history, then
and now. He said Solomon excelled
his father in some respects, but that
no man had ever been great in as
many respects as was David.
By reproduction of David's life it
seemed the purpose of the speaker to
inspire even the backward boy, who
might not feel himself to be of very
= much importance in the world, to
higher and happier ideals.
He showed how even his father did
not expect him to succeed. When the
old prophet came to select a man
from the sons of Samuel to be annoint-

ly brought out this lad, when the 9TH

to Chief Stewart it should be stated
that the wine rooms were actually

parture fer Missouri about a week
ago. Last week. and after III : depart.
ure. there were several violations Of
the law in some Of the Wine rooms OF

last Sunday, it remains to be seen
whether the wine rooms will persist
In their efforts to run open despite the

Such were the Identical Werds OF
Chief Stewart to a representative of
the Graphic Monday morning. Chief
Stewart declares that he has parted

with his sanction or permission or
knowledge. The people Of Pine Bluff
have confidence in Chief Stewart. and
believe that he will do his whole duty
in the matter
The article in Sundays Graphic rel
ative to the wine room question ere
ated a furore of excitement, and was
the subject of comment everywhere
Sunday and Monday Chief of Police
Stewart was out of the city Sunday
when the story was printed, and could
not be seen about it. but when he re-
turned to town Monday a representa-
tive of the Graphic looked him up and
asked him relative to the facts men
toned in the Graphic's Sunday story.
He made the statement that he had
ordered all the wine rooms in the city
closed up some time ago, and that If
they were run open in violation OF his
orders he was unaware of the fact.
and that he would take prompt action
when any such violations were
brought to his notice. 1t should be
stated in this connection that The DO.
lice department of the city can not be
censured for the reopening of the
wine rooms last week. Owing to the
fact that the force is limited to nine
men, it is practically impossible for
them to cover the city Thoroughly, and
the wine rooms might violate the city
ordinance repeatedly without the cog
nizance of the patrolmen. This is III
fact only another argument in favo.
OF increasing the present police foreo
OF the city. 1t is a well known fact
that the police department of Pine
Bluff is composed of as efficient a
corps of officers as can be found anv-
where in the southwest, not even ex-
cepting such cities as Little Rock. Dal-
las and Houston. The limited force
here brings into the city treasury
more revenue, in proportion to the
population, than any of the larger
cities named. But the men are over

those conversant with police affairs
to merit comment even
AS an illustration of the impracti
cability of the present force coping
with the situation, it may be mention
ed that on last Saturday night, when
the aforementioned story in the Gra-
phic was written, the Graphic's repre-
sentative found certain wine room
violating the law when the patrolman
had just left the place and had been
watching closely for any such viola
tion. The whole trouble seems to be
