it has been said that more than 10000
0G0 people in all responded to his elo-
quent appeal and signed the total abb

The influence of man who could do
these things can hardly be over-esti-
mated. Perhaps it is not too much to
say that he did more for this country
than any other of the great army
which has come to us from Ireland.

From now ON, as allowed by the
amended postal laws which went into
effect July !, ordinary postage stamps
may be placed on letters designed for
quick delivery instead Of the special
delivery stamps hitherto necessary for
this purpose. 1t is to be remembered
by those who avail themselves of this
new privilege, however, that in addi-
ton to affixing the extra ten cents in
ordinary stamps the words Especial
delivtry' must be written plainly upon
the front of the envelope. 1t is ex-
pected that this new provision of the
law will result in a largely increased
volume of special delivery business.

The Bangor Railway & Electric
Company has been put up against rath-
or a tough proposition, the question be-
ing how to get the car line to Old
town across the Saltwater river in
Oruno. Ever since the road was built
the trnlleys have crossed the old COW
cred wooden bridge built over GO years
ago. Recently the bridge was eX-
aminad by the railroad commissioners
and declared unsafe for trolley traffic.
The town of OrOno hired an engineer t"
make a report on the condition of the
bridge. This report was to- the effect
that while the bridge was safe for
ordinary traffic it was far from safe
for electric cars and that it would cost
IS 900 to make it so. 1t is thought
probable that the company will build .
steel bridge for its own use and let
Orono have the old wooden bridge.
