ANOTHER STRIKE.
Paper Bag Girls Again
Out at Rumford Falls.
Found Promised Increase Much
Less Than They Understood.
Only 81 Instead Of $I.50 and They at
Once Leave Their Work.

Rumford Falls, Me-, Aug. 30.-The
$50 girl operatives of the Continental
Paper Bag Co. of New York, who I'M
derstood last night that they had been
granted an increase of % cents a day
for which they struck last week, again
quit work today and the mill was shut
down. 1t seems that the girls misun-
derstood the situation and discovered
that instead of an advance of $150 a
week to $3.50 they are to have an ad-
vance Of only one dollar. Because of
this they left the mill shortly after
commencing work.
The increase of q dollar 4 week Of
fered by the company is for competent
employees" others who are ION proba-
ton" are to get an advance but the
amount has not been stated. The let
ter of the company to the employees
besides announcing the new wage
schedule said the company desired to
give fair and reasonable wages. The
demand of the girls the letter said did
not include operatives in the printing
room and some other departments of
the factory and the letter pointed out
that these employees should not be left
out of consideration.
The striking girls will have a meet
ing tomorrow.

AFTER A $1,000 HARP.
Rev. Frank Sandford Said to Be After
Fine One for the Holy Land.

Auburn, Me, Aug. 30.-For several
days the whereabouts of the Rev. F.
W. Sanford, the Elijah of Shiloh,
have been shrouded in mystery. 1t was
known that he did not sail on either of
the two vessels which have started
with a colony for the Holy Land. 1t is
now learned that Mr.. Sanford is in
Liverpool. having gone there by steam
er.
His business in that city is to pur-
chase a harp, to cost $1,000. which he
is to take to Jerusalem. He could not
find such a harp as he wanted in this
country, and so he went to England
for it,
one of Sandford's followers says the
money for this harp was raised by
subscription. About the time the
yacht Coronet met with the accident
at South Freeport Sanford received a
check for $1,000.
1t is believed this check came from
Sandford's father law, who is esti-
mated to be worth from $1,000. 900 to
s2.000.00O. 1t is stated that the father
in-law is as much interested in Sand
ford's work as he is himself

The doors of Madison Square Garden
were opened at $50 o'clock and the i'm

quickly that the ushers and policemen
had difficulty in carrying out the seat

The hall was devoid OF decorations
other than the bunting and flags placed
about the temporary stage. But every
person in the audience had been pre-
scented with 4 flag by the reception
committee and the waving of these
made a picture such as the garden has
SELDOM witnessed. Twelve thousand
people. many of the women. were seat

seat was to be had. The heat in the
garden was so great that q large por-

leaving only the stars as a canopy.
At 5 o'clock Harry w. Walker. on
behalf Of the Commercial Travellers
Antitrust League, called the assem-
bly, to order. Governor Folk was given
an ovation and it was several minutes
before he could speak.
Governor Folk concluded by introduce
ing Mayor Tom l.. Johnson of Cleve-
land as chairman. The applause was
deafening. At this moment William
Randolph Hearst entered the box which
had been set aside for him. FORT two
minutes the crowd cheered without in
terruption. Many rose and waved their
hats and handkerchiefs in the direc-
ton of Mr.. Hearst's box. Then there
were more cheers for Mr.. Johnson.
When this demonstration had but
partly subsidized, Mr.. Bryan, accompan-
led by his wife, entered the garden
and appeared on the platform. The
crowd was then fairly beside itself.
Men shouted and jumped on seats,
cheered and threw their hats into the
air; women waved handkerchiefS and
cheered and for five minutes, after Mr..
Bryan appeared on the platform the
crowd howled cheered and screamed.
Eventually Chairman Johnson secured
comparative quiet and introduced Au-
gustus Thomas, whose every reference
to Mr. Bryan called for additional
cheers. Mr. Thomas was cheered for
several minutes after he had concluded
and bowed many times in acknowledge
fnent.
Chairman johnson then arose to pre-
sent Mr.. Bryan.
When Mr.. Bryan arose at $40 the au-
dience was on it's feet as one man. The
cheering, which began at that instant.
did not end until S.4S and then only af-
ter Mr.. Bryan had waved his hands
frantically in an effort to stem the
wave Of applause.
At first the man for whom the DEM
onstration was planned stood bowling
and smiling. Then his attitude was one
of appeal. This at last prevailed and as
the cheering died away, Mr.. Bryan be-

Phillips, Ne, Aug. 3G.-Although de-

cars on the narrow guage road of the

done in time for the night train tQspasS

The train, which was due here at
o'clock fror1 Pennington, consisted of
a locomotive, two passenger coaches
and two baggage cars of the narrow
cuage pattern. For some reason which

and had not been solved tonight, the
train left the rails on long curve just

over into the ditch. The passengers
who lid not take the opportunity to

WILLIAM CONWAY
We come here to commemorate-not
a deed done in the body, but an act Of
soul; the refusal of a manly spirit to
bend the body to the dishonoring Of
his country's tlag.An act. most truly it
was, and one of highest character i'll
motive and significance.
Yet it was well nigh lost from cur
rent thought. On-moving life absorbs
its heroic age. The power of a great
deed passes into the strength of a peo-
pie; but too often the deed itself sinks
from thought, except in some great
moment of exalted mood
Today. after many years, we come to
testify that time has no power to dim
the recognition of an act of lofty 10y
atty and heroic courage in the nations
name; and to set up a memorial that
passing life may take cheer, seeing that
it is capable of in times that try mems

appearance on that day, of two gem

be commissioners of the state OF Flor

Roosevelt to be read at the unwilling
exercises was received by Major Henry
S. Burrage of Togus:
''Sir--I wish it were in my power to
be present at the time when the erec-
ton of the Conway memorial is to be
celebrated. AS this is not possible will
you let inc express through you my
sincere appreciation of the action taken
in erecting this memorial? Conway
stands typical of the best among those
admirable enlisted men Of the army and
navy to whom this country can never
pay too great homage. The fidelity and
patriotism of the sailor. shown under
the most trying and difficult circum-
stances when his commanding officers
proved faithless, should be craven on
the hearts not only of our people as
whole, but especially upon those of our
people who filed the regiments our our
army and manned the ships of our
navy. l again congratulate you upon
thus commemorative his sturdy loyal
ty."

THE CANAL.

From the Nashville Banner:
 The California earthquake has caused inc advocates of sea level canal at Panama to more urgently insist upon their plan on the theory that locks and dams would be liable to seSious damage, and even destruction by earthquakes. It does not follow, however. that the possi- bility of earthquakes on the isthmus should give the government any pause in the construction of the canal or cause 1t to alter it's plans. A sea level canal would be doubtless as liable to damage by earthouake as e lock canal, and in the event of damage done the cost of repair ing might be greater with~the sea level canal on account of the likelihood of greater damage to the deeper cuts. The Springfield, Mass. Union says:
 Whether sea level or lock, there is some earthquake danger to the canal but f. seems to be as much from one direc- ton as from the other. The problem to be solved is not so much which type of waterway would be subject to the least damage by such convulsion of nature as fl is which damage could be the more easily repaired. Is it not possible that 1t might be as easy to repair cracks in the huge stone and concrete walls of locks as it would be to dredge out mill lions of cubic yards of earth and brick which clumped in from the adjacent hill- sides?
 The great work of the canal should not be seriously affected by fear of damage by earthquakes. That is risk that must be taken in world that is full of risks from earthquakes, cyclones, fires and cat aclysms of various kinds.
