manager for Keene Brothers of Lynn,
Mass. in their Skowhegan business.
Mrs. Stafford made many warm
friends. She took much interest in
the social life of the town, finding
great enjoyment therein and contrib
uting much pleasure to those privi-
legged to associate with her. She was
a valued member of the Skowhegan
Womans Club and of Russell Relief
Corps, her work In the latter society
being especially efficient. During
the year of declining health she has
received every attention that promis-
ed hope of recovery or that could
minister to her needs, the loving SYM
pathy of her daughter and her daugh-
ter's household surrounding her at all
times with the most tender care.
Besides the husband and daughter
already mentioned the deceased is
survived by two brothers, H. S. Libby
of Melrose, Mass, and William Libby

The financial furry did not serious

Quoted on business principles. Bub-
bles were pricked and vanished into
thin air, but after all they were only
bubbles. Industries that suspended
temporarily because of the difficulty
of obtaining currency to pay the en-
ployes, have resumed operations.
The mere absence of sufficient cir
culating medium to transact business
is temporary Inconvenience, but
should not lead to a panic. Some
manufacturing establishments in
Maine took occasion during the
furry to shut down for few days for
repairs and to straighten things out,
but they are all right.
The open season on moose has clos
ed. 1t has been more favorable than
that on deer. A total of 1876 moose
have been received at Bangor from
the great hunting grounds to the
north and east of that city, compared
with totals of III on the correspond
ing date last year and of 206 in 1905.
The progress of the Maine deer sea-
son, which although not concluded
until Dec. 10, is now past its climax,
has been much less favorable this
year than usual because of a success
sion of heavy rains which have kept
the low lands flooded and made
travelling in the woods very difficult.
Only 2164 deer have been received at
Bangor to date against 3118 last year.
There has been no fatality from shot
in mistake for deer.

MARKET FOR AMERICAN
GOODS I'M OLD EGYPT,
Ready-Made Shirts, Collars, Underwear,
Trunks and Other Articles
in Demand.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-According to
a consular report there would be a profit
able market in Egypt for American collars,
re~ady-made shirts and underwear. Linen
underwear of the lightest kind, adapted for
wear in the tropics, would find a ready sale
there at the high-class shops. The under
vests should button down the front Ike a
shirt and should be sleeveless; the drawers
should have short legs. In Upper Egypt
and the Soudan there is a large demand for
cheap white collars, cotton vests and cot
ton shirts.
Competition might be made with Austrin-
Hungary n Germany in supplying cheap
furniture of almost every description-cup-
boards. brentwood chairs, tables, hat racks,
etc. An American merchant in Alexandra
has imported a considerable amount OF
American office furniture, particularly roll
top desks and swivel chairs, and is doing
fairly with them.
There is a considerable demand for
trunks, suit cases, hat boxes and valises OF
the better qualities; in fact, during the
spring when the general exodus TO Europe
takes place II is often difficult to ind a
good trunk left in the city. From go to
$45 is paid without demur for trunks OF
good make, and leather goods OF all kinds
also command high prices.

HARTMAN
REPORTED
INDICTED
Said to Be on Account Of
Shipments of Mating
From Japanese Port.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 27.-Accore-
ing to a report in circulation here SIX
Indictments were found yesterday by
the Federal Grand Jury against the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company and
the Southern Pacific Company. In
these indictments the names of Edward
II. Hartman, John c. StubbS and X.
p. Schwerin, it is understood, are mem
toned. The indictments, 1t is said,
embrace 140 counts, and relate particu-
larly to violations of the law on ship
ments from the Orient through the port
of San Francisco to Chicago. The par
ticular instances in which the law is
said to have been violated relate to
shipments of mating from Kobe,
Japan, to Chicago, these shipments be-
ing very heavy and numerous during
a number of months of the year.
A special agent of the Interstate
Commerce Commission has been on
the Pacific coast for several months,
and also In Japan, investigating these
shipments n how the Pacific Mail
and Southern Pacific have been making
rates lower than the published tariff
on them at various times. 1t is the
making of a lower rate than the pub
lished one on which the indictments
have been based.
Southern Pacific officials are said to
have admitted that prior to the en-
forcement of the new rate law they
had not Deer strictly living up to the
three-day notice provision of the old
law, because of the impossibility of
doing SO inc retaining their share Of
oriental shipments to this country in
competition with foreign lines. They
insisted, however, that since the new
law has gone into effect they have not
made any lower rate than the pub
lished one and have not violated the
law for two eaSon One is that the
rates have been very steady in the
Orient and there has been no neces-
sity for making rates other than those
in the published tariff. The second
reason is hat as the commission now
has the power to dispense with the
thirty days notice, where an emer-
gency rate is necessary, all the carrier
has to do now is to lay the matter be-
fore the commission and get it to au-
thorize a lower rate because Of Its dis
pensing power.
This, it is claimed. is the first time
in the history of trans-Paci1c traffic
through this port that a Federal Grand
Jury has ever made indictments for
violations of the interstate law.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Local off,
Gals of the Southern Pacific Railroad
end the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany said today hat they had no in
formation concerning the reported
finding of indictments against Mr..
Hartman and other officers of those
corporations for alleged rate viola
tons.
One of the legal representatives of
the Southern Pacific expressed the
opinion that the trouble is simply a
revival of an old controversy with the
Interstate Commerce Commission re-
garding foreign or export and import
rates. The law governing the publica-
ton of such rates was amended August
26, 1906, subject to notifications by the
commission. There have been no vio-
lations of the law, according to the
Southern Pacific officials, since the
amendment became effective.
