| After debate of two hours taken part in
by Milliken of Island Falls, j. Putnam
Stevens of Portland, and johnson of Hal
lowell the Milliken bill for the labelling of
proprietary medicines was defeated in the
House, March 22nd, by vote of IS to 40
The House. March 22nd, by vote of Is
to 50, passed the resolve carrying
$6O,00O year for two years for the election
of wing to the Eastern Maine insane
hospital at Bangor. This bill was defeated
in the senate March 2lst.
Resolves carrying $23,l a year for two
years for the Eastern Maine insane hospital
and $7S,500 for the Maine insane hospital
at Augusta were passed in concurrence with
the senate.
When the cider bill came back from the
Senate, which had voted to indefinitely
postpone, the house voted to adhere to its
former action to give the bill passage.
The House, March 2Sd, receded from it's
former action and voted to concur with the
Senate in indefinitely postponing the bill to
prevent the shipping of Holsters out of the
State during the summer months.
A resolve was passed accepting the gift
OF the national government of Widows
Island and appropriating $4,000 for making
repairs on the barracks OH the island, for
the benefit of the insane.
Inc conference committee on the Eastern
Maine Insane Hospital appropriation of
Sl20,0OO failed to agree and the measure
died between the two Houses.
On motion of Senator Pike of Washing
ton, the Senate concurred with the Hou sc in
defeating the Milliken patent medicine bill.
When the Senate and House reaSsembled
at 10 O'Clock Friday forenoon, little work
remained to be done. A few measures were
on the table awaiting the finishing touches
In the passing into law or the prOnOuncing
OF their death sentence as the case might be.
They were quickly disposed of.
The resolve to amend the constitution eS-
tabllshlng the peoples veto through the op-
tlonal and Initiative referendum, failed to
pass either branch on its final passage.
A resolve to amend the constitution re-
qulres two thirds vote of each branch,
and this the measure was denied. In the
House the vote was 62 to 48 in favor of
passage; the Senate stood divided ON the
matter II to 13.
"Well,' said Chairman Nichols of the |
Legislative committee of the federation of
labor, as he shook warmly the hand of SEN |
ator Clark of Hancock, "we've put up good |
fight and lost. But the vote in the House |
was virtually victory for our cause and |
we expect and hope to see this measure |
passed in two years from now" |
The bills reported by the committee on |
ways and means for the assessment of a |
State tax for the years 1905 and 1906 at the |
rate of q mills on the dollar were finally |
passed by both branches. The total amount |
assessed for each year is $91S, ,174.19 The |

making total for both years of S4,74O,-
1916. The total appropriations for the
years 1908 and 1904 amounted to 81, 567,-

of the present Legislature exceed those of
the last Legislature by the sum of $142,-

LIE TIER TO R. F. DUNTON,
kEIFAST. MAINE

Dear Sir: But few of the men who sell
the hundred different paints in the marke
know much about them. All Devoe agents
have a state chemists certificate telling
Just what it's made of; they know good
deal, not only about Devoe but the rest; we
see that they do. We buy every paint,
that has any sale, and aDalyze it. Our
agent finds out all about it,
When we know what paint is made-of,
we know how it will act; we know how far
it goes, and how long it wears.
DevOe is the standard, call it 100. The
best of the rest is about 75; the worst about
%; the rest are between.
But the men, who sell them, don't know
any better. They know what the maker
tells them. They don't know whether he
tells them the truth or not
The business is not conducted On knowl-
edge; the less they know, the more COM
PORTABLE they are. Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & Co.

Morning Or Evening Papersp

With the idea of obtaining the views of
advertisers, the Evening Times, Roches-
ter, N. Y, addressed letter of inquiry
relative to the merits of morning and
evening newspapers and received replies
from 135 of the leading department stores
In forty-fiVe of the largest cities. Ninety
TWO per cent of these replies expressed a
preference for the evening paper as an
advertising medium, eleven out of the 135
considering the morning paper the best
medium. The Times summarizes some of
the features that go to make the evening
paper the predominating factor in an ad-
VerttSlnS campaign as follows
1t is delivered at the home each night
when the whole family has time to read it,
1t is carried home by the business man
when his days work is done and it STAYS
there. A morning paper is usually carried
down town by the head of the family and
hurriedly read.
The evening paper is not read hurriedly
but thoroughly, so that all advertisements
receive their share of attention.
1t presents the store news little ahead
giving the prospective purchaser time to
plan a shopping tour for the next morn

water here this morning. Three explosions
said to have occurred board before
she foundered. She had on board eighteen
officers and men. including her regular crew
and men who were in training. Fourteen
of the number were drowned. The others
were picked up.
The disaster occurred while the "A"|S
was proceeding to sea for practice, accom-
panied by another submarine boat and
torpedo boat.
Three explosions were seen from the
shore to occur on board the As. which
suddenly disappeared Tugs and divers i'm

Lies in Eighteen Fathoms of Water.
The submarine boat lies in eighteen
fathoms of water. The first intimation Of
the disaster came from the boat herself
signaling that she was submerged and
could not come to the surface A signal
was received shortly before noon which
said: All right up to the present time"
Diving parties Immediately proceeded to
the scene. Those who were saved were
standing In the vicinity of the coming
tower at the time of the disaster and were
picked up by passing trawler. They were

One of the survivors who was interviewed
said he was unable to explain the cause
of the accident to the As" He added
that she suddenly dipped while her matches
were open and that the boat Immediately
filled and sank. The man added:
Lieutenant Candy came to my assist
ance when l was almost exhausted and
kept me atloat until we were picked up by
the trawler."
This is the third submarine boat disaster

being the Al, run down by liner in
the Solent, by which eleven officers and
men were entombed in the bottom of the

six of her crew were killed.
heavy explosion occurred over the
position where the submarine boat sank,
and there is no hope of saving any of the
men who were carried down with her.
The explosions first reported are believed
to have been caused by the escape of gaso-

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June S-The sto-
ical fortitude and self-sacrifice of Edward
Ickes. the sixteen-year-old boy, who yes
terday gave an eight~inch strip of skin
from his arm to be grated on the fieshless
chin of his half sister, Lydia Finnegan, has
been in vain. although aided by all the skill
known to medical science.
Death mercifully ended the agony of the
little sufferer, and her Scared emaciated
body lies in the mortuary of the Methodist
Hospital awaiting the arrival of her mother,
whose home is in Coal Forge, Blair county.
The operation was performed by Drs Spell
lissy and Roberts yesterday afternoon.
Surgically 1t was a success, and the ply
sicians were hopeful that the patient would
be able~to survive the torment that is in
evitable during the grating stage But to-
ward evening little Lydia began to show
Indications of collapse. Her eyes dulled and
the feeble body grew weaker. Strychn!ne
and other powerful restoratives were APP
piled, but the childs vitality had been sap

not respond to the treatment.
