WORK FINISHED.
The 73rd Legislature Ad-
journed at 10.47 P. NJ
Veto Of Bill to Repeal the
Sturgls Law Sustained.
The Last Day q Busy 0ne...The
Total Appropriations.

The 72rd Legislature COMPLETED its
deliberations last evening at 1917
o'clock, the two presiding officers by
peculiar coincidence happening to let
their gavels fall at exactly the same
instant. The final act came after the
busiest and longest legislative day of
the session and a day which was full
OF interest and Importance. For the
first time the two bodies We're asked To
again pass upon a measure which had
failed to receive the endorsement of the
Chief Executive. This was in the pas
sage Of the bill to repeal the Sturois
Law. so called, and by no means the
least interested spectator Of the pro-
ceeding was the man who gave the bill
its name, ex-senator Sturgis Of STAN
dish.
The Heselton bill to further regulate
the State and town liquor agencies was
on its passage to be enacted in the Ser
ate before the opposition which has
heen brewing during the past few DAYS,
reached out and laid the bill on the
shelf.
The Eaton resolve, which also dealt
with the liquor question failed to re-
ceive the necessary two-thirds endorse
candidate for a place in the constitu-
ton.
These three measures stand by them
selves in the days proceedings ami
might really be said to have been the
final work of the Legislature of 1907.
The usual love feasts took place in
the two branches and the members
through the leaders took occasion to
compliment each of the presiding Off
GERS for their work and thank them
for the courtesies shown. In the House
Representative Johnson of Waterville
presented Speaker Powers with the
gavel and the chair of the Speaker
The House INDUCED in pleasantrics
during the greater part of the evening
to pass the time away while waiting
the final clerical work on the reports of
the appropriations committee. No less
| than three poems We're read by their
| authors and as browning feature the
House listened to the temperance
| speech of Rep. Lovejoy Of Milo.
The deliberations in the Senate were
more dignfied bur there too the mem
bers seemed to be willing to throw off
| the cares of the session and make the
| closing hours as pleasant as possible.
Perhaps the most dramatic and i'm
pressive incident of the session occur
red Immediately after the Senate had
been called to order for the last time.
There was pause as the gavel fell and
then the sweet strains Of the National
| anthem as sung by the members OF the
House came floating through the gall
| leries to the Senate chamber. The SEN
| ators listened as the great chorus
gathered volume and as verse after
verse was sung. 1t was indeed a beau
tiful and impressive incident
The appropriation bills call for Sc
4039G.49 for the year 1907 and 1884,
143.48 for the year 1908. The total APP
preparation for the two years is Sc. oS7, :

that of two years ago.

BULLET IN HEAD.
George r. Brown Shoots Himself At
Edwards Mills Thursday Morning.

The many friends of George T.
Brown, living at 121 Cony street and
employed as electrician at the cotton
mills of the Edwards Manuf'g Co., were
shocked Thursday morning to learn
that he had shot himself.
The act was committed in the dyna-
mo room in mill No. 4, at about 7.3O,
and was probably due to temporary
alteration of mind.
The weapon used was a cheap double
action center-fire revolver of the bull
dog pattern and of 80 caliber, and was
held close to the head in firing, the
bullet passing through the upper part
of the right ear and penetrating the
skull.
The wounded man was taken to the
City hospital but owing to the shock
from which he was suffering it was not
deemed wise to try to locate the bullet
yesterday Last night his recovery
was considered doubtful. No cause for
the act has been assigned.

The Senate and House Thursday
morning gave the resolve for an
amendment to the constitution so that
if the legislature so orders a special
election may be called to vote on any
constitutional amendment, instead OF
waiting for general election, a passage
with almost unanimous endorsement
in both branches.
The resolve for an amendment to the
constitution giving the governor the
power to remove sheriffs did not fare
so well. The House gave it the COM
pliment of majority, but failed to give
the two-thirds necessary for it's pas
sage. The Senate did better, giving the
resolve more than the necessary two
thirds, but without concurrent action
by the House the resolve will not be
passed.
The opposition to the Heselton bill,
which has been working quietly the
past few days showed its hand in the
Senate chamber and when the votes
were counted it was found that 10 had
voted in favor and against referring
the bill to the committee on salaries
and fees to be considered after the adj
journment of the legislature and report
10 lIlt SONeIHOI CoulIClI.
If ever a bill had a narrow squeak,
without there being any real designs
upon it, it was the bill to repeal the
Sturgis law. Senator Sewall was
anxious to register his vote in favor Of
it and called for another yea and nay
vote upon it. Many of the strong sup
porters Of the bill were absent and
when the roll was called it was found
that the bill had Is yeas and IA nays.
The order to lease office room in an
office building for the use of the State
departments was indefinitely postponed
in both branches.
The House, through Representative
Davies of Yarmouth presented to
Speaker Powers a large colonial hall
clock, an exceedingly fine specimen of
the clock-maker's handiwork. 1t is
very similar in design to that presented
to Governor Cobb by the council of
1865.
The House took a recess at II until
Las and the Senate, from Il to 2.
The first veto OF the session came
Thurdav afternoon when Gov. Cobb in
a brief message to the House, gave his
reasons why he could not consistently
give his approval to bill to repeal the
SturSis law. This action was not al
together unexpected. The vote in the
House to pass the bill over the veto was
almost a tie, 81 voting yea and IS voting
nay.
The message was Immediately sent up
to the Senate and voted upon without
debate. The vote was exceedingly close.

senator came hurrying in shortly after
the vote was announced. but under the
rules he was not allowed to vote.

Elixir Of Youth.

In former times elder flowers We're
treasured not only by lovers of hedge
row beauty but by those who desired
to preserve their own beauty and
youth. According to the seventeenth
century prescription the elder flowers
were to be gathered on midsummer
day, powdered and put into borage
water, which was to be drunk daily for
a month, the first thing in the morning
and the last thing at night. This was a
much priced elixir of youth. By COM
mon consent there has always been
something supernatural about the elder
tree In Denmark it is protected by
the elder mother, without whose leave
it is dangerous to pluck the flower. In
Germany the hat should be taken off
to it, And in England it has been
variously considered the tree of the
cross and the tree upon which Judas
hanged himself, to be treated with
reverence or fear OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

War ErOm a Thumb Bite.

Perhaps the most portentous if in
nocent incident in the proceedings
leading up to England's war with
X G Theodore of Abyssinia was-a
II NIB bite. The British consul was
practically a prisoner at his court
when Mr. Stern, British missionary,
called upon the king of kings The
first mistake of the Englishman was
to seek an audience Immediately after
the king had dined too literally with
his court The second was his choosing
as interpreters two utterly incompetent
men The inefficiency of this pair so
angered the dusky monarch that then
and there he ordered them to be beat
en- Mr. Stern unable to bear the
sight, turned around and bit his
thumb" Now, he was not aware of
it, but to bite the thumb is in Abys-
sinia a defiance and threat of venge-
ance The quick eye of the king
caught the innocent menace, and he
had the missionary also beaten From
that sprang the war, the defeat of the
forces of the king and his death by his
own hand Al his ruined city of Mag

Lizards, Tails.

Certain lizards are remarkable for
the fragility of their tails, although
this weakness is not always the draw
back that may be imagined The dia-
mond tailed gecko, for instance, fire.
quently owes it's existence to the readi-
ness with which its caudal appendage
can be snapped off. This reptile, which
will perch upon rock head downward
and tail in the air, is liable to be prey
ed upon by hawks. One of these for
midable birds will swoop down upon
a lizard and seize what it takes to be
the head, but is really the tail. The
brittle tail snaps off, and the gecko
wriggles away, not much the worse, to
grow another
