The weather was something OF a topic
of remark last week, and while 1t con-
tinues 80 fictitious" as Mrs. Parting
ton used to call it, perhaps it might be
thought best to keep 1t up; at any rate
we will venture to mention it this once
more. A recent geography, speaking OF
Maine, says: "The climate ia one OF ex-
tremes. The thermometer ranges from
20 to 80 below zero to 100 above" That
is all correct; nature seems to think that
in this section of Uncle Sans farm we
need variety of weather, and 80 fur
uishes it accordingly.
Whatever we had, or didn't have, for
IN Indian summer, it is quite evident we
have recently had gentle touch of an
Esquimaux winter; although brief in
duration. Tuesday morning the tenn
perature stood at seven, and Wednesday
morning at six; while Thursday morn
ing it was up to 80, and the two inches
of snow that fell the night previous was
turning to water.
Royal Martin has sold his non-resi-
dent farm to Mr.. Morey, family rela-
tive, who is repairing the buildings pre-
paratory for winter.
1t was reported that o. G. Whitman
had also sold his farm; but it is now de-
MED, so that the probability is that he
has or has not sold it.
Thomas Green has been constructing
an aqueduct, and perhaps now has run
ming water in his house, just as every
body ought to have when practicable.

| A slight error crept into our report o
Mr.. Verrill last week, which might b.
we'll to correct; in addition to his thre'
sons by his first marriage, he had als'
two daughters, one of whom is livinl
and has family. Mr.. Verrill's dealt
and age will be found in their prope

Elliot F. Shepard, a young member Of
the Vanderbilt family, recently killed a
peasant girl in France by reckless auto
mobile running, and was sentenced to a
fine and three months in Jail. The fine
he can pay as easily as he could buy a
dinner, but the Jail sentence is a differ
emit matter. He will carry the case to
the highest court in France, and it is
said that an effort Is being made to have
the state department of the United
States government take it up. If the
department has anything to do about it,
its function is simply to make sure that
Shepard has had q fair trial. The Jail
sentence doesn't look excessive from this
distance for the offence charged, and
the United States is not called upon to
rescue its citizens from the consequences
of their law-breaking in foreign coun-
tries.

There is no occasion for wasting SYM
patty on those American land owners in
the Isle of Pines who are disturbed be-
cause the island is about to be finally
and formally transferred to Cuba by
treaty. Our state department has de-
clared that by all the authority of inter
national law and equity the island be-
longs to Cuba, and any one with an eye
can see that geographically it is as much
part of Cuba as Mount Desert Island is
q part of Maine. To make the Isle of
Pines American territory would be much
like making Mount Desert a part of the
Province of Quebec. These American
residents of the island doubtless knew
these facts at the time they acquired
their holdings. If they did not it was
their own fault, and we are not called
upon to do Cuba any injustice on their
account.

The death of a cadet at the Annapolis
naval academy as the result of fist
fight has been productive of mixed states
of feeling. OF course the affair is being
Investigated, and fighting by the students
at our military institutions is generally
condemned. On the other hand, en-
thusiasm against fighting is not so easily
reused among the members of either
branch of the military service of the
government, and the officers of the
army and navy do not readily join in the
cutlery against first fights. The students
are being trained to fight, anyway, they
say. Furthermore, any one at all IA
miliar with conditions in both branches
of our military service knows that there
is all through them a certain spirit
which dictates that some conditions may
be met only by an appeal to violence.
One who has read some of the stories of
Gen. Charles King knows how this code
shows up in the fact that he does not
get one of his heroes through whole
story without having him engaged in a
personal encounter as an affair of honor.
This spirit is sort of survival of the
old code, degraded from the dignity
of a duel to the death to the cheapness of
fist fight. AS the writer of recent
magazine story has well expressed it,
the first love of the Anglo-Saxon is a
fight, but it is seriously to be questioned
whether there is any need of the code as
it now exists at our military institutions.
