A Card to the Public.

And by way of explanation let US say,
we have condition, not theory, that
confronts us. The condition is this
Owing to the very low water in the river,
the places where we have formerly cut
our ice are entirely worthless to US this
year for ice harvesting, and We must
look elsewhere for our supply, and
Norway Lake is the only available place
This will necessitate an additional ex-
pense in housing our ice, and to keep
the cost as low as possible we shall
adopt the cash system by selling coupon
books representing 500 lbs. of ice. The
ice will then be delivered to the GUS
TONERS as desired; will give the customer
a chance to economics; will insure us
pay for our ice, and will allow US to sell
ice for the least price possible, which
must be more than formerly under the
conditions.

About the State.

The second thin ice fatality in Maine
for the season occurred at Sanford Fri
day, when Lucien Terrault, Jr., 10 years
of age, broke through and was drowned
E.P. Mayo of Waterville, one of The
Jail inspectors in Maine, has severely
criticised the construction of the wo.
mans apartment in Auburn Jail in Ian
guage no less strong than to say that 'it
is fire trap" In case of fire the livet
of the prisoners would be in danger and
with 50 much wood work to burn, the
fire would spread rapidly besides being
exceedingly difficult to handle.
A. j. Curtis and wife of Monroe have
cook stove that has been in constan,
use for 4S years. The only repairs II
has had in all that time is one back, and
that Mr.. Curtis made himself out Of
wrought iron. Mrs. Curtis says it is al
right now aud bakes as well as it ever
did. Mr.. Curtis says there has been
over a thousand dollars worth Of woot
burned in it.

NEW YORK, Nov. so, 1908.
Editor Democrat.
We are booked for the sunny South,
and expect to leave Wednesday, Dec. 2.
Please have the Democrat sent to Or
lando, Florida, as it would be lonesome
could We not hear from John, to say
nothing of Ellie and Pottle.-During
our stay here of seven weeks have had
almost all kinds of weather, much of the
time 10 to 10 degrees warmer, on the
average, than for thirty-three years.
Have had slight fall of snow. Last week,
as they say South, was Every unusual,
fog so dense as almost to tie up all ship
ping One steamer sunk and four lives
lost. Vessels full of passengers obliged
to anchor in the narrows for three days
before they could come up.
New York changes so fast that can
hardly keep up to the times, being here
but few weeks spring and fall. visit.
ed Wall Street last week, and it does not
seem possible that it is the same place
where spent most of my time for over
thirty years.
But that is not as wonderful as the
subways and tunnels. Starting from
City Hall station, you go underground
for seven miles and then you find your.
self on an elevated road some 100 feet in
the air, and in few minutes you plunge
into earth again, and after a ride OF
some two miles you are over 100 feet be-
low the surface.
At so Broadway 4S-story building is
to be erected, six stories below the
street level.
To offset that we have the tower OF
the Manhattan Life, which is 700 feet
above the street level.
We are very we'll for young people, and
hope to return to good old Maine next
spring. Good only applies to summer.

PRESIDENT HALL FINDS FAULT WITH
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

President G. Stanley Hall of Clark
University, in an address at Chicago
Thursday night, characterized the
American public school system as being
inefficient and unprogressive. He de-
clared that ISL school days a year were
not enough. More than 100000 chill.
dren between the ages of 8 and II years
were not enrolled in school at all. He
declared that the schools were suffering
from Termination; that the teachers
were poorly trained and insufficiently
paid; that text books were getting
worse; that children are not taught pure
English; that there is too much legisla-
ton regarding education and that the
moral side of education is almost wholly
neglected.
