The Somerset reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1868-1909, 1908-12-03

Andrew Carnegie, the philanthro-
pist, who has won fortune and fame
in the steel business, assisted by the
protective tariff, now seeks to kick
down the ladder the last round of
which he has reached, so that no one
else will be able to climb. That sp-
pears to be supreme selfshness.
That reminds Senator Burrows of a
Dutch farmer who made a fortune
and retired from business to say: 81
think these dykes are no longer need
ed to keep out the sea. l have never
had any trouble from the overflow of
my lands for the last SO years, so that
/ am convinced it would be just as
well to destroy the dikes." The
steam is up and the.pressure is great.
The tariff is sure to be revised atthe
special session of Congress; even
"Uncle Joe" Cannon says so; but let
our readers just bear in mind that the
protective features under which our
country has steadily gone forward on
the road to prosperity, will never be
stricken out by Republican Congress.
1t will leave the dangerous doctrine
of "a tariff for revenue only" to the
Democratic party, where it belongs.
Sometimes a women's browning
glory is pinned on for the occasion.

Got Man and Team.

Deputy Sheriff David W. Lewis ar
rived in town about eight o'clock last
Sunday evening, with team belong
ing to Chase Brothers of this place
and the man who had hired it, the
preceding Tuesday evening to go to
Cornville, but who had made an ex-
tended trip in another direction and
was finally apprehended in Morrill,,
near Belfast. The mans name is AL
bert Cartier, formerly of Halloweli,
and he claims to have been at one
time a weaver in the Marston Mills.
On arranging for the team he repre-
sented that he wished to go to see
parties in Cornville and would re-
turn that night or the following day.
On Thursday, as they had heard
nothing from their customer, Messrs
Chase began to look up their proper
ty, which consisted of pair and a
piano top buggy. They appraised
Sheriff G. H. Smith of the circum-
stances and he was finally able to To-
cate Carter in Waldo county. De-
putty Sheriff Lewis left for that locali-
ty on Saturday and found him Che
following day
Carter had improved an opportuni-
ty to trade one of his pair, getting
seven dollars to boot. The horse
that came to him in this transaction
was poor, worn out animal and he
had killed him by shooting before
Mr.. Lewis's arrival. He had further
disintegrated the property in his care
by losing street blanket and SPRING
ing an axle. Sheriff Lewis looked
up the horse which Carter had traded
away, and soon convinced the party
who had him tnat he had no title to
the animal. The horses were then
hitched up and Mr.. Lewis, with Car
ter in his custody, started 'or home
across country. Carter was arranged
sin the Municipal court befcle Judge
Fred F. Lawrence Monday morning
and held, under one thousand dollar
bonds, to await the action of the
Grand Jury. The bonds were not

Death of Mrs. DinsmDre.

The death of Mrs. Susan Spaulding
Dinsmore occurred yesterday morn
ing of heart disease, which developed
in serious form about ten days ago.
The deceased was born in Arson, 81
years ago, the daughter of Thomas
and Sarah Houghton. She was mar
ried when about twenty years of age
to Ezra Dinsmore, who died about
1890. After the death of her husband,
she moved from Madison, which had
been her home during her married
life, to this place and resided with her
sister, Mrs. d. NJ. Bacon, on Island
Avenue. Another sister, Mrs. Glenn
entine A. Weston,also of skowhegan,
survives.
Mrs. Dinsmore's health had not
been of the best for some years, and
the excitement at the time of the fire
at the Bacon home, i'll October 1907,
brought to her attention and the no
tice of the family, a heart trouble
from which she has suffered consider
able inconvenience and which was
the final cause of her death as above
noted.
Prayer will be offered at the home
on Island avenue by the Rev. B. b.
Merrill at nine a. IN. tomorrow, and
funeral services will be observed at
the Congregational church in Madison
at eleven. The interment will be in
the family lot in the Madison ceme-
terry.

The Vinton Lectures.

Concerning the two lectures 10 be
given in the Bethany Baptist church
on Monday and Tuesday evenings Of
next week by Mr.. Sumner K. Vinton,
Prof II. P. Beach of Yale University
writes as follows
Mr.. Sumner Z. Vinton's lecture on
Pagoda Land is one that is not only
interesting, but also profitable and
unique of its class. The lecturer has
the great advantage of being him =
self TO the manor born, and hence
from boyhood he has known the
scenes and the people whom he so
entertainingly describes. 1t is dis-
tinctly au intimate view of Burmese
life which the audience is privileged
to enjoy. Again, MIR. Vinton is an
expert photographer and living a. he
has in Burma, he could choose his
time for each picture, thus securing
the best atmospheric effects HIS
fluent use of the Burmese and Karen
has enabled him to arrange his groups
more satisfactorily than could be
possible for a foreigner using an in
terpreter; while this is true it Is like
wise notable feature of these
pictures, that there il little formal
posing noticeable in the groups 1t
is life as it is lived in Burma that he
has captured on the wing. The
slides are most beautifully colored,
not by artists in America who never
saw the Burmese, but by one on the
ground that knew the exact colors
that should be added to the clear
photographs.
AS for the moving pictures, while
they labor under the disadvantage of
all such films, they are we'll chosen
scenes of absorbing interest Mr.
Vinton is a model in that he gives his
audience first general idea of what
is to be displayed in the moving
pictures through the description of
portions of the moving picture
scheme illustrated by colored slides.
The mingling of the two kinds of
pictures is thus productive of keener
interest and avoids the WEAKNESS to
the eye of continuous film work.

Who cares particularly if the post
office department doesn't pay it's
expenses? The people are willing
to pay for this great convenience
and luxury. We see that the Post
master General has announced that
the deficit for the year ending June
was 16,91O,2 the largest in the
history of the department. The rural
delivery is the cause of good deal
of it and the increase of salaries that
are yet to go into effect will add
more to the expense. The Post
master General thinks that local
parcels post for the rural routes
would tend to wipe out the postal
deficit and perhaps make the rural
delivery self-supporting, besides be-
ing a great convenience to people
served by the routes and the country
stores,
