POWER LINE.
Bayside Residents Ask for Injunction
Another Change Proposed.

Bayside Residents Ask for Injunction
Another Change Proposed.
Residents of the Bayside road have pc
titioned for an injunction to restrain the
Ellsworth Power Supply Co. from erect
ing its power transmission line along that
highway. There will be hearing on the
petition before Judge Spear at the county
court room Thursday evening" In the
meantime the power company is proceed
ing in the work OF erecting its POLES. ID.
r. Hurley will represent the petitioners
and Hale h Hamlin the power company.
Another change OF route of the power
line may be necessary at this end. The
city gave right OF way down Water street
and the Bayside road from the old Hall
steam mill to the Trenton line. the COM
pany believing it could obtain right OF
way over private land from the power
house to the steam mill.
Residents OF Grant street, however,
whose land it was desired to cross at the
river front, asked prices which the com.
pany considers exorbitant. II is under
stood the company will now ask the city
for permission to construct the line along
the mill road on the east side Of the river
to state street, running from that point,
across postoffice square and down Water
street to the steam mill, on steel poles sixty
feet high. This would take the wires far
above any buildings.
Photographs OF the style Of pole which
will be used il this permission is granted,
show q pole which overcomes, so far as it
is possible, the objection OF unsightliness
OF poles on a highway.

BAR HARBOR.

J. William Worcester, of this town, died
Monday evening at Mariaville, where he
had been for the past few weeks in the
hope OF benefiting his health. His death
was caused by tuberculosis. from which
he had been suffering for some time,
although, until recently, his family had
hopes Of his recovery. About three
months ago Mr.. Worcester married Miss
Lena Ladd, Of Cranberry Isles, and the
young people made their home in Boston
where Mr.. Worcester was employed. His
health failing, he was compelled to give
up his work in Boston and come to Maine,
and on the advice OF his physician, went
to Mariaville. He failed rapidly. He is
survived by widow, his widowed mother,
Mrs. Joseph Worcester, OF Bar Harbor,
and several brothers and sisters.

Some Animals In Winter.

The ptarmigan, member of the grouse family, is in summer mottled with black and rich fluffy brown, but in winter it becomes pure white. The snowy owl and the snow buntings that come to us from the far north have whitish plumage that blends har- moniOusly with the prevailing white ness of the landscape. But perhaps the most interesting example of all is the weasel, whose fur in the summer has a peculiarly soft shade of reddish brown, but in the winter is pure white except at the tip of the tail. It is probable that this black point is useful to its owner in diverting the attention of q carnivorous bird or of beast of prey, as the black spot is more readily seen than the white body of the an- imal. It is said, too, that if the tip is covered with snow the whole weasel becomes clearly visible and that if the first snowfall is later than usual 1t is claimed by some naturalists that the color change is delayed accordingly. The turning white takes place when most needed.-St. Nicholas.

CHRIS voN DER AHE.
May Break Into Baseball 0ncc
 More.
Onoo

The rumor is being circulated ir the west that Chris von der Ahe, once the owner of the St Louis Browns and picturesque figure in baseball fifteen years ago, is planning to re- turn to the game as magnate. Von der Ahe recently sold his saloon in St Louis, which gave rise to the re- port that he would either back an out law team in that city or run similar affair in Chicago. When reporters visited Chris the other day to confirm these persistent reports the Dutch mans servant said he was in bed threatened with pneumonia and that the physicians had left orders that he could not be disturbed under any cir cumstances. Von der Ahe's sad ex- perence with the magnates who suc- ceeded in getting his St Louis club away from him after extended court proceedings prompted him to make the memorable comment: "A man who goes into der star chamber nit der magnates, if he doesn't leave his watch and money init der hotle clerk first, iss von grant idiot"

Mr. Barric's Page.

J. NJ. Barrie, the popular novelist and playwright, glorifed tobacco morel than once, but on certain occasion he tried to induce a smoker to desist. It happened thus:
 Mir. Barrie returned to his rooms one day and discovered his page boy puf-L ing hard at dirty clay pipe.
 My boy" said the novelist, it Is very bad for you to smoke that coarsef black twist. You will make yourself, old before your time"
 And so he went on till he had deliv-l cred long and what he believed to be telling lecture. A day or two latesi the youth left without giving notice,l and shortly afterward MT. Barrie brought some friends to his flat. Prom ising them a special treat, he went to- a cabinet where he kept a store of very choice cigars. You can imagine his chagrin when he discovered that the cigars had vanished, and in their. place was the page boys clay pipe and the following note;
 Dear Sir-I agree with you that 1t iA bad for a boy to smoke twist. I will not smoke any more twist till l have finished your cigars.

When Does Reason Dawn? :?

As there must be point back along the line of our descent where con sciousness began-consciousnes in the animal and self consciousness in man so there must be point where req son began. If we had all the missing links in the chain no doubt we might approximately at least determine the point or the form in which it first dawned. The higher anthropoid apes, which are, no doubt. lateral branch of the stem of the great biological tree that bore man, show occasional Sleams of 1t, but reason, as we ascribe 1t to the lower orders, is more q kind of symptomatic reason. vague foreshad- owing of reason rather than the sub stance itself For long time the child is without reason or any mental con- cepts, and ell its activities are reac- tions to stimuli. like those of an ami nal. IL is merely bundle of instincts. but by and by 1t begins to show some thing higher. and we hail the dawn of reason and its development from the animal plane into the human.-John Burroughs in Outing Magazine.

Not As 1t Read,

A certain NJ. F., as proud and fond as man should be of his beautiful young wife, was just about rising to speak in debate when a telegram was put into his hands He read it, left the house, jumped into cab, drove to Charing Cross and took the train to Dover. Next day he returned home, rushed into his wife's bedroom and, finding her there, upbraided the aston ished lady in no measured terms. She protested her ignorance of having done anything to offend him.
 "Then what did you mean by your teegram?'' he asked.
 Mean? What I said, of course! What are you talking about"
 Read it for yourself said he.
 She read: II flee with Mir. X, to Do- yer straight. Pray for me"
 For the moment words would not come Then, after merry fit of laugh ter, the suspected wife quietly remark ed:
 "Oh, those dreadful telegraph people! No wonder you are out of your mind, dear. I telegraphed simply: I tea with Mrs. x. In Dover street. Stay for me- '"-PearsOn's.

DaI,odil Poiaoninu.

A large number of plants which arc usually looked upon as harmless pos sess poisonous properties. says the Dundee Advertiser Those who are employed in picking daffodIls and nar- cissus frequently suffer severely from a troublesome skin affection known as "daffodil poisoning" The most trying feature of this ailment is the small gatherings which form under the in- ger nails. IL is said that minute crys- tals of lime exist in large numbers in the juice of the stems of the pretty blooms and that these are responsible for the poisoning Regular daffcdil pickers are accustomed to rub their hands with oil and work tallow in un- derneath their finger nails before be- ginning their work. The bulbs Of the white Roman hyacinth have simIlax unpleasant properties.

Rock Candy.

"Originally what is now known as rock candy" explained confectioner to reporter. was called in the trade Gibraltar rock. Originally also, 1t was the purest kind of candy, for it was crystallized sugar pure and simple. Ordinarily it is purer now than many other candies. Hawthorne, in The House of the Seven Gables describ ing a small store, says. For instance, there was glass pickle jar filed with fragments of Gibraltar rock-not, in deed, splinters of the veritable fortress. but bits of delectable candy Other writers of even earlier date than that speak of Gibraltar rock. It appears, however, that the Gibraltar was finally dropped, and it became known as rock candy. I have price list Issued in 1S48 to the candy trade in which Gi' braltar rock is the name given, though after that it is quoted as rock candy. Throughout England 1t is known as Gibraltar almost exclusively outside of the large cities. In the latter, as here, the Gibraltar is dropped, and 1t is called rock candy"

Percentaues In Shopping.

There goes one of the , per cent" said conversational foorwalker in a big department store as he indicated a slender, active woman who was mak- ing rapidly for the street.
 You must be right, of course" re- marked his visitor, but what do you mean?'
 Why. I divide women shoppers into four classes-frst, those who do not in tend to buy: second, those who intend to buy. but don't know what they want: third, those who know what they want when they leave home, but become absolutely confused when they get among the goods, and, fourth. those who know all the time what they want. go direct and get 1t and get out as soon as possible.
 "The fourth class. don't you know, constitute only about . per cent of the whole. and that woman's one of them. They are a blessing in way, but un- fortunately they don't turn in as much money as classes two and three. New York Globe.

The Navel Orange.

For product of nature a California navel orange as it graces the breakfast table or the push cart is about the most artificial thing in the world. It is also very striking illustration of the fact that while beauty may be only skin deep it counts for whole lot. To begin with. the navel orange of California is an exotic. reaching its present habitat after devious wander ing And. be it ever so sweet tasting, if its skin has had its beauty marred 1t scarcely ever gets farther than the orchard where 1t grew. Not only that, but even the most comedy ones before they are boxed and shipped are brush ed by machinery and polished and otherwise fused with to give them a beauty which mere nature never would have provided.

Coronets.

It Is a mistake to suppose that dukes, marquises and other noble Britons sleep in their coronets. Tn fact, they never wear them at all except at the coronation of the sovereign, when they put on their coronets at the precise mo- ment when the primate of England places the crown upon the anointed brow of the king or queen. And when a peer or peeress dies the coronet Is again used at the funeral. being placed fin the coffin or borne on purple ctish- ion behind the hearse by one of the attendants. That is the extent to which the coronet is used according to the official rules and regulations. But sometimes they are made to serve oth- CT purposes than those for which they were intended. They are made of sil- yer gilt. edged with ermine and lined inside with purple velvet cap topped with a gold tassel and are quite orna- mental baubles. One belonging to q noble marquis which was sold at auc- ton in London had been cut in half and arranged to serve as brackets for candlesticks.

Life Savinq and Law.

The Roumanians are as curious in some things as the Chinese A girl who fell into the river and was swept down by the current finally seized a bush on the bank and drew herself to shore. The owner of the land on which the bush grew immediately claimed reward Of shillings because his bush was there and had saved her. Her father refused to pay, and there was lawsuit. What the law has to decide is whether drowning people can make use of bushes on the bank with out paying for the same or whether the assistance of the said bush is worth a certain sum of money.
 In China if person falls into the water no one must help him out, but at the same time spectator can be i'm prisoned for not advising the victim to staN on dry land.

HUMAN BONES FOUND.
Police Weaving Chain Around Man
 Suspected of Murder.

Florence, Col, Jan. 1.-The find ing of charred portions of human bones yesterday in cabin adjoining that in which he lived, added another link to the chain of evidence being forged by the police against Anton Bavari, the Italian charged with mur- dering Joseph Minichello, and sus- pected of having foully dealt with two other fellow countrymen, as well as an Italian woman of whom he was enamored all of whom have dlsap- peared within the last month. Mrs Joseph Minichello who swore to the complaint against Bavari yesterday told the police of a quarrel her hus- band had with Bavari on the night of the formers disappearance, dramatic ally closing her interview with the statement: 'I believe Tony BaVarl killed my husband on that night"
