Elberton p. Dyer of Hartland, the
present County Treasurer, had no
opposition and he was renominated
for that office by reclamation.
The county committee for the en-
suing two years, made up of one from
each of the representative districts
of the county, elected by the dele
gates of each district present at this
convention, are as follows: F. A. Gill
man of Madison, Frank P. Pennell of
Skowhegan, L. o. Haskell of Pitts
field, w. F. Mitchell of Fairfield,
r. II. Reed of Harmony, J. R. Knowl-
ton of Arson and d. G. Durrell of
Dead River.
The following is the platform as re-
ported by the committee on resolu-
tions and unanimously adopted by
the convention:
The Republicans Of Somerset County, in
convention assembled. not presuming in
advance of the State Convention to promul.
gate the platform of the party in Maine, but
confidently believing that it will be true to
its past traditions and declarations, hereby
announce our convictions and principles, as
follows:
We heartily commend the administration
of Gov. Cobb.
We believe in prohibition and demand the
faithful and impartial enforcement Of the
prohbitory law because the business interests
of the State and the material and moral well
fare OF the people are thereby promoted.
We hold that submission to law is the
highest duty Of the citizen, and that good
citizenship seeks the enforcement of all law
at all times.
= We are OPPOSED to a re-submisson of the
prohbitory amendment, the demand for
which comes chiefly from the advocates of
license.
We believe in the principles Of the
Initiative and Referendum, as applied to
statute enactments. this being along the
line Of perfection of the Republican idea
that the supreme power is vested in the
people.
We believe that the next legislature should
pass Direct Primary law to provide for the
nomination OF all state and county officials
by direct ballot. and to ensure the justice and
fairness of nominations so made by re-
surrounded by all the safeguards of the
Australian ballot system.
We pledge our devotion to every cause
that makes for safety and the betterment of
conditions among those whose labor con-
tribute so much to the progress and welfare
of the country.
We believe in good roads and a con-
tinuance Of the present policy of the state
looking to the improvement thereof by
present methods, including state aid.
We commend to the voters of Somerset
county the nominees Of the Republican Ma
tional Convention at Chicago, and of this
convention. and pledge them our cordial and
active support,
+. J. TAYLOR.

MabiIIon Remembered.

The memory Of Jean Mabillon, .
French Catholic priest OF the Benedic-
tine order. who was one of the fouu-
ders of the modern critical method in
the study OF history. was honored in
Paris the other day when the church
and learned societies united In cele-
brating the two hundredth anniversary
Of his death. The exercises were held
In the Church OF SaintGermain-des-
Pres. In the abbey once connected
with the church Mabillon did his great
work. At the age of about 33 he had
achieved so great reputation for
scholarship that he was sent to this
abbey to write history OF the Bene-
dictine order from the documents
gathered there. Out of his study OF
the ancient documents grew his book.
DE Re Diplomatica,' which is one Of
the earliest works on the authenticity
OF old manuscripts and on the tests to
establish their validity. Mabillon is
regarded to-day by French scholars as
one OF their national glories; yet his
youth was not promising. He began
his studies with his uncle, the village
priest where he lived, and he studied
80 hard and paid so little heed to his
physical condition that he had to be
sent from one monastery to another In
hope that his health might be i'm.
proved. But this French country lad
with an enfeebled constitution lived 10
the age Of 75 and left a name which Is
not forgotten after more than two cen
turtles.

PRESIDENTS ACT APPROVED.
Committee -FInds That Discharge Of
Negro Troops Was Justified.

Washington. - Reports from the
committee on military affairs were pre-
scented to the Senate "Wednesday in re-
gard to the investigation of the affray
at Brownsville. Texas, which resulted
in the discharge without honor of three
companies of negro soldiers OF the
Twenty-ffIh infantry
AT the same time "A message was re-
ceived from the President calling at
tention to the fact that the testimony
taken by the committee sustains his
position in discharging the negro SOL
diers. He recommends extension of
the time for re-enlistment of the dis
charged men who might be found not
to fall within the terms of the order.
There were four reports from the
committee, the majority being signed
by Senators Warren, Lodge. Warner,
Dupont. Taliaferro, Foster, Overman,
Frazier and McCreary A minority re-
port was signed by Senators Foraker,
Scott. Buikeley and Hemenway. The
majority report found as follows:
THAT in the opinion of the commit
tee the shooting was done by soldiers
belonging to the Twenty-fifth infantry;
that the testimony fails to identify the
particula. soldier or soldiers who par
ticipated"
1t is stated that there is considera-
BILE contradiction in the testimony. but
that, taken as a whole and recOnciling
1t wherever possible, it proves the case
outlined in the majority's decision.
The principal minority report was
presented by Senator Scott and takes
the position that it has been impossi-
Bile to ascertain who did the shooting
and makes the recommendation that
the negro soldiers be restored.
In addition to this minority report,
Senators Foraker and Bulkeley turned
In supplemental report, which was
represented by Senator Foraker. Sena-
tor Foraker's report declares that the
testimony of the witnesses against the
soldiers is not reliable and that no mo-
tive for their alleged connection with
the affray had been shown.
A supplemental report signed by Sen
ators Warren Lodge, Warner and Du-
pont declares that the evidence shows
that the assault was perpetrated by
members of the battalion, but that it is
reasonable to believe that all of the sol
diers were not concerned.
They recommend that it would be
justice to restore to all of the inno
cent men the rights and privileges
which had accrued to them by reason
of their previous service in the army
bill is presented authorizing the Pres
ident. within one year after the pas
sage of the act. to authorize the enlist
ment of any of the men whom he may
be satisfied had no connection with
the shooting.

French naval vessels appear to be
the special victims of disaster. The
numerous casualties at Toulon, the
naval station. and the mishaps TO vari-
GUS torpedo and submarine vessels
will be recalled. The latest accident
is the explosion of steampipe on the
cruiser Descartes at Tansier, by which
ten men were killed and 80 injured.
Other navies, including our own, have
had accidents of more or less serious
character. and in view Of the compli-
Gated machinery which enters into the
construction and operation of modern
war vessels it is not surprising that
these should occur occasionally, but
certainly the French navy seems to
have more than its share.

Female Tenacity Of Life.

Statistics show that women have a
greater tenacity of life than men,
Among insects the male perishes at 4
relatively earlier period. Female quad.
rupeds have more endurance than
males. In the human race, says the
New York Weekly, despite the intel
iectual and physical strength of the
man, the woman endures longest, and
will bear pain to which the strong man
succumbs. Zymotic diseases are more
fatal to males. and more male children
die than females. The proportion dy-
Ing suddenly is about 100 women to
$50 men. lntemperance, apoplexy,
gout, hydrocephalus, affections OF the
heart and liver. scrofula and paralysis
are far more fatal to males than fe-
males. Pulmonary consumption, on
the other hand, is more deadly to the
latter. The married state is favorable
to prolongation Of life among both
men and women.
