whom circumstances make possible a col
lege course. Her wit and accomplishments
make her natural leader. and many
questions of conduct and character arise
calling for he exercise OF both principle
and tact. She is compelled to reason out
decisions that are at times contrary to
the views to those to whom in her new
surroundings she would naturally defer, and
an impulsive nature makes it all the
harder. But her native good sense,
streE gthened by her continued confidential
relations with her parents, carries her
safely and triumphantly through The de-
scription of a young woman's college life
is admirably given, and the account of the
struggles of a Ladies Aid society in a
small church Is true to life and genuinely
humorous, as well as effective in other re-
spects. The whole book is so brightly writ
ten as to hold the readers interest at
every point The Illustrations are by

months Of the original commitment.
while defense claimed that even IL
Mr. Bresnahan was legally qualified to
collect the tax, he could not bring this
action within eight months from the
time OF its commitment to him per-
sonally.
Plaintiffs counsel later decided not
to argue the case in the law court,
believing this point could not be sus-
tanned The legality of the tax in
question is not affected, however, and
new action will be brought.

With the departure for Chicago of Sec
Rotary Wilson to look into the new work
of inspecting meat, there has come out a
little story Of the work of the recent ses-
sion OF Congress which Is of interest in
Maine, writes the Washington CORE
srondent Of the Kennebec journal. II
pertains TO Senator Hale, who several DAYS
ago started for his home at Ellsworth and
for period of well-earneti rest.
When the fight between the Senate and
the House over the meat inspection rider
on the agricultural appropriation bill was
at its hottest and the House confsrees had
refused TO consider any proposition for a
compromise, Senator Hale one afternoon
advised that the matter go over till the
next day so that there might be time ''te
sleep over it,.
The Maine senator was not a member oil
the agricultural committee, bat the Senate
was looking to him TO execute the pro-
gramme for adjournment, which, as il
happens, was largely the programme that
Senator Hale had himself mapped out
The rest of the Senate did sleep over the
htaAset hAAAt MT but EN@ifhlpF Went
| around to see Speaker Cannon. They had
a long and serious talk over the situation,
which threatened to result in the failure
OF any meat inspection legislation.
As the result of that talk an agreement
came about Senator Hale thought the
Senate could afford to yield considerably
to'the House, and, as soon as he had an
| understanding with the speaker about it,
there was little difficulty in bringing the
agreement about.
The next day il became known that this
conferees were going to agree, but il was
all done so quietly and so effectively that
hardly anyone was aware Senator Hale
had done the work. Other Senate leader.
usually find a way to let the country know
when they are achieving something in the
direction Of effective legislation, but Mr.
Hale Is modest about blowing his own
trumpet, and the fact OF his good work
only became known recently and by acct
dent.

Correspondence.
Some Corrections.
AMHERST. July q

Some Corrections,
AMHERST, July %, 1906.
To the Editor Of The american:
II does not seem to me that anything
said in presenting the name OF W. o.
Emery to the special republican county
convention, is OF sufficient Importance to
be quoted or discussed generally. How
ever, II am to be quoted at all, il should
be correctly; otherwise a wrong impress
sion might be given to those who were
fortunate enough not to be present.
The Bangor Commercial OF July ~
says l spoke OF Mr.. En- RVS long ser
vice in the Grand ArmY an absardity,
as Mr.. Emery is still a comparatively
young man. Nv remarks, as all present,
except the reporter, know were, in con-
nection with the G. A. r., directed to the
late Mr.. Campbell.
did not make use in any sense or way
of the words ''transcendent aristocracy".
as stated in the Commercial OF July 20. /
did say that: sit is not necessary that
the candidate we nominate here to-day be
| a man of monumental or transcendent
ability, but it is essential that he stand
| pat with the people"
Later in my remark, / said sin his
veins flows the warm red blood OF
the blue blood OF aristocracy know not,
neither do i care" The above are the
| only times either of these words were
used by me. They were not used together
in any way, or even in the same eonnec-
tion.
At another place said: "We have all
heard the low sullen murmur OF political
people. A mistake to-day, an error in
this nomination, il you please, might fan
this little murmur into hurricane of po-
Iitical upheaval."
The above is, as near as came to speak
ing OF 'sbreeze of dissatisfaction which
would be jammed into tempest. Gov.
| Cobb and other prominent party leaders
| have also referred quite as pointedIy to
| this breeze of dissatisfaction" in their
| public addresses.
/ am sorry to confess that the single
sentence uttered regarding ''ring" W as
| not original with me, but paraphrased
| from Cong Littlefield,s address at the
| Bangor convention when he nominated
4 Gov. Cobb. II ! slnned in voieing a SEN
/ timent quite generally INDUCED in, | was
| but copying from others greater than am.
In conclusion allow me to say that it
was only after much urging that / con-
scented to address the convention, and,
having consented, regarded it as duty,
| however unpleasant, to point out what
seemed to me to be for the best interest OF
our party, and to warn the convention OF
any perils that lay before it. What / said
was said with the love OF the party in
my heart, and without personal animosity.
Yours very truly,

Capt. George w. Herriek, of Brooklin,
tss been nominated for representative TO
the legislature By the republicans Of Cas-
the, Brooksville, Orland, BROOKLYN, Long
Island and Aurora class.
The venerable s. X Hlnckley, Of Blue

At the special republican county
convention held in this city last
Thursday, Charles Peters, of Els
worth, was nominated for register o.
deeds to fill the vacancy in the ticket
caused by the death Of William b.
Campbell.
The contest for the nomination was
narrowed down to three candidates
Mr.. Peters, Mr.. Emery and Mr.. Fuller.
It was vigorously waged, and resulted
in the choice of Mr.. Peters. The
nominee is a man in the prime OF life,
unusually well fitted for the exactiug
duties of the office, and is worthy the
support of the party at the polls.
This nomination completes the
ticket; it stands as the voice OF the
republican voters of Hancock county.
Ante convention struggles are ma
tural when nomination is equivalent
TO election; they are always interest
ing and often exciting, but are usu
ally struggles OF friendly rivalry, and
after the nominations are made fac
tionalism is laid aside, and the best
interests of the party become OF moro
consequence TO all than the interests
of individuals, The county ticket as
it now stands deserves and will COM
mand the full support OF republicans.

The Tax Case .


The Democrat devotes considerable
space this week in an attempt to dis
credit Ellsworth's taxes. 1t uses for a
sext the recent dropping of the Els
worth tax case in the law court, and
assumes that this is tantamount to a
decision against the city and in favor
Of the non paying taxpayer.
The case was that of John FL. Bres-
uahan, tax collector of Ellsworth,
against Mrs. Maria E. Maloney, for
5ax amounting to s1o4 for the year
1904 1t was tried at the last January
term. R. E. Mason and L. B. Deasy
appeared for plaintiff. and D. E.
Hurley for defendant.
The Democrat misstates the case
wr1en it says the plaintiff was nom
suited at the January term, and went
to the law court on exceptions. II il
true non-suit was first ordered, but
this entry was afterward changed by
agreement of counsel and court, and
bhe ease was reported to the law
court upon agreed statement of facts,
The statute provides that an action
such as this cannot be brought by a
collector of taxes within eight months
Of abe commitment of such tax "to
him.. In this case, while the original
commitment of the tax to Mr.. Trip
was made more than the eight months
prior 90 the beginning of the suit,
eight months had not expired since
she commitment of the tax to Mr..
Bresnahan.
Plaintiff relied upon an interpreta-
non OF the law that would allow the
rio ging Of the action within eight

An important step in the Union
river power project was the purchase
last week OF two more dams on the
river. The facility with which this
transaction was carried out Is an
earnest OF the intention OF the men
now behind The project TO push il
through to a successful completion.
As an indication also OF their way o:
doing business, 1t is encouraging TO
the people of Ellsworth who hope for
the dam.
The attitude of the people behind
the project toward the industrial de
velopment of Ellsworth is also graft
fying. II win be TO the advantage
OF the company, of course, to sell as
much as possible OF its power here.
Mr. Graham, representing the com
pany, last week said the company
would work hand in hand with the
board of trade end business men of
Ellsworth to bring industries here,
and would give bonds to any manu-
featuring concern to furnish power
in any amount and at any time waited.
One of the first ''snagsn encountered
in every attempt to bring industries
here has been this matter OF power.
A guarantee by responsible parties
that the power will be forthcoming,
will he great help.
