At the present time the two great
Maine railroad corporations are push
ing new railway lines into the great
north woods, and it is fair to assume
that they are both doing this believing
that the great heart of the northern
forest has not yet been relieved of it's
great lumber and agricultural wealth.
The Bangor & ArOoStOok railroad is
opening up the ArCostOok and Penob-
scot forests to the lumbermen and the
pioneer in several sections, believing
that the business that it will thus de-
TelOp will furnish it's great railway SyS-
tenn with millions of tons of freight GO
ing both north and south. In other
words, the promoters of the Bangor &
ArOostook railroad believe that the
great northland is going to furnish il
business in such volume, increasing
year by year as the country is develop
ed, as it has never known before, and
laugh to Scorn the idea that AroOstoOk
and the whole north section of the
State, has been developed to it's fullest
extent, and they show the courage of
their convictions by continually adding
to their facilities for moving the prod
uCtS vi tIldI country W market. AL
most precisely the same condition of
things is seen in northern Somerset
county, where the Somerset Railroad.
not satisfied with extending it's line
last year 20 miles above Bingham, is
now pushing it through the unbroken
forests to the head waters of the Ken
nebeC. and before year more has
passed will have it's terminus less than
mile west of old Mount Kineo. And
its projectors do not believe that the
end is there. by any means for sur
,veyS. ii is said, have already been
made not only along the entire western
border of Moosehead Lake. but more
than 100 miles beyond. where it is ex-
pected that vast amount of valuable
hard wood lumber will be reached and
also fertile agricultural section is eX-
pected to be discovered. Little has
been said in the newspapers concerning
this plan. and the projectors are en-
ploying no brass bands to advertise the
project but it is believed nevertheless
that great things are to result from the
extension of this road from its present
terminus in Bingham.
A little paper published by Pastor
Jump of the Brunswick Congregations
al church has this to say about the in
teresting and historic places in the old
college town: 1.-THE Congregational
church of Brunswick was built under
the direction of Richard Upjohn, the
famous New York architect who
planned Trinity church in that city.
and its interior has been called one of
the finest specimens of wooden Gothic
church building in the United States.
In this audience room Henry Wads-
worth Lcngfellow delivered in 1873 his
famous poem 'Morituri Salutamus.

MoDJEsKA.

Farewell tours of famous actors and actresses are not as rule very successful and the production at Polls last evening was no exception. It is downright shame that Madame Helena Modjeska should travel with the company which produced Mac beth" at Polls last night. It is in- deed most pathetic sight to see Modjeska make her final appearance with such a mediocre company. The show is under. the management of Jules Murry who should have little sense of decency and surround the star with at least couple of good actors. This practice of buncoing the public by such farewell tours seems to be getting popular Mod- jeska herself. although time has had its effect upon her, has been before the footlights the past forty-five years, and still portrays the ambi- tious Lady Macbeth in that faultless manner that long since won her fame. Her sleepwalking scene is just as effective as ever and last evening she received an ovation after its completion. At the end of the fifth act Modjeska was presented with beautiful floral piece by the Knights of Columbus of this city to show their appreciation for what she did for that order during the earth quake in San Francisco. Modjeska threw open her magnificent home and with the aid of her company en- tertained in excellent manner. Mod jeska seemed to greatly appreciate the token given her.

excess of governmental encouragement
 Now. however. the war department has contracted for this complete mod ern military balloon. with capacity of 7.750 cubic feet of gas and all ap- purtenances. 30 as to afford energetic officers ample opportunity for pursuing their investigations under the most ia vorable and up to date conditions. Both Major Reber and Captain Chandler vol unteered for the experiment. recently made at Pittsfeld. and from this evi- dence of their interest 1t is expected that they win pursue their investi- gstions with even greater enthusiasm when the government comes into pos session of the great alrship now build ing in France.

JAPANESE TRYING TO
BUY PACIFIC ,iAlL LINE
MlKAoo's GOVERNMENT SAID TO
BE BEHIND MOVE
General Manager sehwerin Denies
This, However and Declares II Is
the Togo Kisen Kaisha Which
Wants the Steamers
Rv AssnnIatad rrnss-

BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12.-The Elx-
aminer says today:
A dispatch from Washington states
that Consul General Miller at Yoko-
hama has informed the state DEPART
ment that the Toyo Risen Kaisha, or
Japanese Steamship company, is nego-
tiating to buy the transpacific line of
the Pacific Mail Steamship company.
The dispatch then goes on to say that
T.. II. Harriman's recent visit to Japan
may have had something to do with
this proposition and that the japanese
government is behind the intending
purchasers.
Il. p. Schwerin. vice president and
general manager of the company and
personal representative of Mr.. Harr-
man, i'm discussing the matter .yester-
day, said:
ut is not true that the japanese gov
ernment has made any offer to Mr.
Hartman to buy the transpacifc
steamship line of the Pacific Mail. II
is true, however, that the Toyo Kisen
Kaisha people have made Mr.. Harri-
man an offer. and If Mr.. Hartman was
willing to sell today they would buy
him out without the least hesitation
What Mr.. Harriman's intentions in the
matter may be l do not pretend to
know"
The transpacifc line of the Pacific
Mail consists of the steamers Korea
Siberia, Manchuria and Mongolia Their
total cost to the Pacific Mail Steamship
company, in round numbers, was $1O,-
600, 900.
Managing Director NJ. Shiraishi of
the Japanese Steamship company is
now on his way from Brazil to London,
and will probably arrive in New York
early in March. The supposition is that
he is empowered to finally discuss with
Hartman the Japanese offer to buy out
the Pacific Mails transpaCific line.

MRS. CHADWICK BEGINS
HER TERM IN PRISON
IDENTIFIED AS NINE. DE WE'RE
FORMER CONVICT
Penitentiary Officials Are SkeptioaI
as to Her Alleged illness and After
an Examination She Will Be Put
to Work
BY Associnted Press.

By Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 12.-Mrs. Cassie
l.. Chadwick arrived at the penitentiary
today to begin a sentence Of ten years
for conspiracy to wreck the Citizens
National bank of Oberlin, o. She was
taken through the baggage room un-
der the general waiting room in the
union station, placed in carriage and
taken to the prison. Ten policemen
were sent to keep the crowd back and
three policemen escorted the woman to
the carriage. Mrs. Chadwick Travelled
to Columbus in Pullman. No special
preparations were made in the WO-
mems department for the reception of
the woman. she will be compelled to
sleep on a cot in the corridor of the
prison, as the Women's department is
filled.
The prison officials are firm in the
belief that Mrs. Chadwick is Madame
dc We're for after she had filed her
name with the clerk, the following en-
try was made in the book at the
prison:
"Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, alias
Madame de We're, ten years; conspiracy
to wreck a national bank: Cuyahoga
county; received January II, 1906; eX-
pires January II, 1916-good time, No
vember, 1912"
The prison officials are skeptical as
to the illness of Mrs. Chadwick. They
say that she will be treated as any
other prisoner. They think reports that
she has heart trouble are groundless
and after an examination if it is found
that she is able, she will be put to
washing and other work. If not she
will be placed in the sewing depart
ment.
The young woman clerk in the Sec
retary's office of the penitentiary iden-
titled Mrs. Chadwick some time after
she arrived at the prison as Madame
de We're, who had served "a term in the
renitentiary in 1901 for forgery. Mrs
Chadwick after the identification neith-
er admitted nor denied that she was
Madame de We're.

RAYNoLDs' CASE CONSIDERED
Senate Committee Takes Up Charges
Against Nominee
BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-Charges
against James w. Reynolds, renomi-
ated by the president as secretary for
New Mexico, were considered by the
senate committee on territories today
and the confirmation will be held up
until they can be investigated. lie Is
charged with being an offensive par
tisan, which did not have any effect
on the committee. Former Delegate
Rodey charged him with bulldozinz the
delegates of the last territorial con-
vention in order TO accomplish the de-
feat of Rodey for denomination. The
serious charges against Reynolds are
that when acting as governor he par
doned notorious criminals for political
effect; that he had manipulated his
office so as to secure large fees;
also that he and former Gov
ernor Otero had, by some unfair means,
procured lands eight miles wide on
| either side of an important stream
which they use for sheep ranch.
The statehood fight enters into the
matter to some extent and Reynolds
is opposed by the faction which is
seeking joint statehood with Arizona.
