WHO GOT THE CREAM?

In 1897 E. F. Hanson began the publica-
tiOn in this city of a monthly magazine
called Cream. 1t was to be Enlightened"
Ladies' Home Journal and The Youths
Companion take back seat. A stock COM
pany was formed with capital stock of
$50 600 ($1OO paid in) called The Cream
Publishing Co. and it was announced in the
daily papers that in November 1896 more
than half the stock was placed in Massa-
chusetts by Mr.. Hanson. When the publi-
cation was suspended this statement, like
many others from the same source, was
seen to have been untrue The first num-
Der of the magazine was issued in January
1897, and in May, 1898, it went into the
hands of a receiver. 1t was stated then
that the company's assets were over $4,000
and its liabilities only about $4,000, but
when it suspended, as it did soon after,
was found that the plant was owned by a
member of the mayors family, and nothing
of any value was left for the receiver to re-
ceive. 1t appeared further at that time
that only about $50, 600 of stock was issued,
portion of which (said to have been five
or six thousand dOllars) was sold to parties
in Massachusetts, and that very little was
held in this city outside of the holdings Of
E. F. Hanson.
After the magazine suspended the plant
was offered for sale, and in 1899 it was
stated in the newspapers that the Potter
perfectiDg press used in printing Scream"
had been sold to William NJ. Ladd & Co. of
Waterville and shipped there.
So far as we can learn the stock holders in
this enterprise did not even get skim milk.

IN BOARD OF MUNICIPAL OFFICERS
THE NEW POSTAL REGULATIONS.

The Journal was represented in Portland,
Feb. 2Sth, at conference of Maine publish
ers with Hon. A. L. LawShe, Third Assist
ant Postmaster General. Mr.. Lawshe gave
a clear and candid statement as to the pu-
siton of his department with regard to the
recent ruling concerning second class mail
matter. 1t is aimed primarily at the gross
abuses of this ''privilege'-this word is
used in the postal laWs-which all know to
exist, and has already relieved the mails Of
millions of copies of so-called mail order
journals which have no legal right to that
privilege. With the effort of the post office
department to correct these notorious abuses
we believe every honest publisher in Maine
is in full sympathy. The only point at issue
is on the extension of credit to subscribers,
which the department limits to three months
for dailies and one year for weeklies. Papers
mailed to delinquent subscribers after these
periods, respectively, will be denied the sec
ond class privilege and papers will have to
be mailed at the third class rate, which re-
qures prepayment by a one cent stamp on
each copy. This ruling was to have gone
into effect Jan. 1st, but the time has been
extended to April 1st. While Mr.. Lawshe
disclamed any intention of harassing legti-
mate newspapers he made it clear that it is
the intention of the department to enforce
this ruling uniformly, giving attention first
to the grosser abuses of the second class
rate. At the hearing several Maine pub
fishers questioned the right of the depart
ment to interfere in this matter of credit,
but Mr.. Lawshe claimed that the depart
ment had the authority of law and of legal
opinion and invited an appeal to the courts.
The Maine Daily Newspaper Association
has had this matter looked up and brief
has been prepared containing precedents
sustaining their side of the question, and
after further research has been made the
brief will be published. This matter of
credit is the only point at issue between
Maine publishers and the post Office de-
partment. The restriction as to the mailing
of sample copies does not affect legitimate
publications. If the ruling as to credit is
allowed to stand it will cause great loss
to many Maine publishers, unless their sub
scrbers pay up promptly, thus enabling
them to comply with the requirements of
the department.

$4,000 and to imprisonment for term of
one year.
Canada followed with fraud order
These orders were in force when in his
"Appeal to Voters No. g." issued last spring
by E. F. Hanson in support Of his candi-
dacy for Mayor, he said:
81 am the accredited American representa-
tive of the London Nutriola Company under
contract for term of years. 1t is my
privilege to stay in any place choose in
America, and to move the manufacturing
plant that now occupies building 100 feet
long and four stories high, to any place on
the Atlantic coast, for our business is now
largely manufacturing for the export trade.
"If, by the votes of the citizens of Belfast,
learn that they want me to remain with
them, 1 SHALL BRING THIS BUSINESS FROM
CHICAGO TO BELFAST THIS SPRING"
Unfortunately for the best interests of
Belfast Mr.. Hanson was elected Mayor. A
twelve-month has passed and how has he
redeemed his pledge? The four story build
ing call long and no wide," has failed to
materiaiize and the records of the custom
house show no exports of Nutriola remedies.
Last week we received a letter from a
gentleman in Connecticut who said: "Will
you kindly inform me what kind of man
your Mayor Hanson is? l am stock
holder in his Nutriola Co. and it seems
through his mismanagement or misfortune
it has gone to the bad. If he is man of good
principles l can forgive, otherwise some
action should be taken.''

Death of Mrs. Olive Longtellow.

HAvERH1LL, Mass, Feb. 26. Medical
Examiner erosion this afternoon investi-
gated the death of Mrs. Olive Longfellow,
which occurred at her home on Jeffrey
road, Ward Hill, this morning. The doctor
said death was caused by criminal oper-
alton. DR.. Bryant was called to attend the
woman about week ago and tried TO
learn the history of the case, but she re-
fused to talk or to give the name of the
physician who performed the operation,
although it is unofficially stated that it
was performed at Lawrence or Lowell
about two weeks ago: DR.. Bryant called
DR.. Benson into consultation, but the con-
dtion of the woman had become critical
and she gradually failed. She kept her
secret to the last The attending physician
declined to sign the death certificate and
reported the case to Medical Examiner
Erosion. Mrs. Longfellcw had lived in
this city for several years past and was the
wife of Frank W. Longfellow. She was a
native of Belfast, Me. Besides her hus-
band she leaves two children, mother,
two sisters and brother.

The Criminal Neglect OF Parents.
(Selected.)

(Selected.)
Four feeders of the foul stream
are drink, the dance, immodest
dress, and diet; but that which per-
mits the rapid spread of impurity,
is the criminal neglect or refusal of
fathers and mothers to teach their
children Gods truth concerning the
origin Of life and the profound sa-
credness Of creative powers. AS one
wise and eyed lawyer said, "It does
seem to me that the children of to-
day are left to make the acquaint-
ance of the wickedness of the world
and the mysteries of their own na-
lures with very little instruction on
the part of those who were given to
be their guardians"
Too many children are left in the
plight of the little boy depicted in
the poem by Mary Wood-Allen.
Mamma, why is it when it rains;
So cloudy in the sky
There's lots O. things I'd like to know
The really reason why.
And there's some other sorts O. things
I'd like to know about,
Only you always say, Hush! hush!'
And so | can't find out.
The boys at school, they tell me tales,
That don't seem nice and clean;
| wish you'd tell me SO I'd know
What these things really mean.
Because-you see-I know, mamma
You never, never lie;
So if you 'splained, itwhy twould be
The really reason why"
Oh the lies that have been told to
trusting little children about what
God meant to be the most sacred re-
lations of life! Those who have made
child-life a special study tell US that
very many children begin to ask
questions concerning the origin of
life as early as the age Of three
years; while to all little ones these
queries come while very young. They
are natural and therefore right and
proper; and it is the solemn duty of
every parent or child-protector to
meet those questionings with Gods
own truth told in the Spirit; and |
believe there are few-yes, none
who would not receive that truth in
the same reverent manner with which
it was impaired.

it was impaired.

If often costs one quite struggle
to do his simple duty; and when one
does his simple duty in spite of his
temptation to do differently, he de-
serves credit for his doing. One has
no need to live long in this world be-
fore finding out this truth. A bright
little boy about two and half years
old recently showed that he appre-
hended it. He was on the eve of do
ing something that was very temp
ting to him.
mo, my son; you mustn't do
that" said his father.
The little fellow looked as if he
would like to do it in spite of his
fathers prohibition; but he triumph
ed over his inclination.
"All right, papa, won't do it."
There was no issue there, and the
father turned to something else.
The boy waited minute, and then
said, in tone of surprised inquiry:
"Papa, why don't you tell me,
That's good boy'?"
The father accepted the sugges-
ton. and commended his son accord
ingly. A just recognition of child's
well-doing is a parents duty; even
though a child's well-doing ought
not to hinge on such a recognition
And as with little folks, so with
larger ones. Just commendation is
every ones due. Even or Lord him
self has promised to say, "Wel
done" to every loved one Of his who
does well.

The Fleet In Australian Waters.
(Youth's Companion.

The great cruise of the American
battle-ship fleet is likely to be pro-
ductive of many good results, and
not least among them may be a
deeper interest and better under
standinding between the people of
this country and those of Australia.
To the average American, in the
eastern part of the United States, at
least, the lone continent in the south
seas is not only an unknown land,
but one in which he takes little inter
est, yet no other body Of English
speaking people outside Of the Unit
ed States are as much like Ameri-
cans in habits of thought and in gen
eral attitude toward life as are the
Australians.
American books are widely read
there-some Of them more widely
than in England-and American
theatrical and operate companies
are nearly always successful there.
In many respects the people Of the
two countries haye a similar history.
Both have had a vast territory in
which to expand, a temperate and
varied climate to develop their latent
energies, and new country to settle
and upbuild. These are things which
breed resourcefulness and indepen-
dence of thought and character
qualities which both peoples possess
to high degree. Americans and
Australians seem to understand each
other better than either people un-
derstands Englishmen.
This country already sells to Aus
tralia about twenty-six million dol
lars worth of goods year, and in
the growing Importance of the Paci-
fic and the countries whose shores it
washes, the great southern fedora
ton is bound to occupy a place of
still greater power and dignity. Its
trade will be we'll worth seeking and
it's career worth watching. If the
visit of the American fleet does
nothing but emphasize this. it will
be amply justified.

Be Ready When the Chance Comes.
(Young Peoples Weekly)

The story is told of young man
whose success in life was due to the
fact that on one occasion when it be-
came necessary for someone who was
posted in the business with which he
was connected to make an important
journey, his grip was packed and
ready. It had been packed for
months in anticipation of just such
an emergency, so that he needed on
ly two minutes for his preparations.
The case is not an unusual one, the
only difference being in the applica-
ton. 1t is the ready who rise. OPP
portunity never comes to the unpre-
pared, for to them it is not an op-
portunity. 1t does not matter what
capabilities are dormant in your ma
ture. Talente wrapped in napkin
are of little advantage to anyone.
You must be ready when the chance
comes, if you are to seize it and COM
pei it to lift you toward the goal Of
your aspirations.
