GARDINER.
FIREMEN's MUSTER
Will Probably Be Held Here on
Labor Day.

A meeting and jollification of the
Gardiner Fire Department was held
Thursday evening in the room of the
department which lasted until midnight
and at which meeting it was practical
ly decided to hold a Firemen's muster
on Labor day and for that purpose a
meeting of all firemen in the city has
been called for next Thursday evening,
at which time, committees will be ap-
pointed to take charge.
Previous to the speeches, the boys
sat flown to a spread provided by the
running team with the $25 won at Hall
DWELL on Fourth of July. There were
several visitors present from Hallowell,
including George s. Patterson, chief
engineer; Iloring l.. Overlook, Captain
of the Hallowell Steam Fire Engine
No. 3, and jeremiah Y. Pettingill, Sec
ond assistant engineer. From Bath
came John Burgess, who at one time
held the State record for the profess
sional 100yard dash, and along with
him came F. Alfred Stetson, who told
Of the Bath celebration.
After the tables had been cleared and
the cigars lighted nearly everyone
present was called upon for speeches
and all were most heartily in favor of
giving celebration, the men from Hal
lowell and Bath promising to do all
they could to make the affair success.
Everything connected with the mus
ter was talked over but no committees
weer appointed as this will be done at
the meeting next Thursday evening.
II now looks as though Gardiner would
have a good, old Firemen's muster on
Labor day and as she will be one of
only two or three cities to hold one,
GARDENERS streets should be filled to
overlooking on that day and 1t is the
intention of the firemen to have ev-
erything run off like clock work and
give all those that come, day Of good
clean entertainment

JACK BiNNs is AeGRIEvED.
Wants Moving Picture Company En-
Joined from Using Films of Him.

New York, July 22.-John r. Binns,
the wireless operator, obtained an or
der from supreme court Justice Bisch-
off yesterday requiring the Vitagraph
Co. of America to show cause on Mon
day why it should not be enjoined from
manufacturing, selling, leasing or Ii
-ensing films portraying him sending
out the &C @ D" message that brought
aid to the steamship Republic pending
the trial of a suit he has brought
against the company.
Binns has brought an action through
Arthur F. Hansel of Rector street for
$4,000 damages and a permanent in
junction restraining the Vitagraph Co.
from using the pictures bearing his
name. He also demands that all films
already put out be returned to him.
Binns says he has gained great fame
and notoriety as the first wireless tele-
graph operator who by operating thai
appliance succeeded in calling aid to a
sinking ship at sea. He says he has
received many offers to exhibit himself
on the stage and in moving pictures,
but has refused on the ground that
having gained fame and lasting repn i.
tation in a noble adventure he does not
desire to belittle it >by exhibiting him.
self in that manner.
Binns says the fact that the man
represented in the moving picture films
to be himself is another man dressed
up in a wireless operators uniform
only aggravates the injury to him. He
says the man in the films acts in a
ridiculous manner, and that inasmuc!l
IS the announcement is thrown on the
screen before the picture appears thai
the wireless operator is Binns every
one thinks it is genuine and his reputa-
ton suffers accordingly.

THOSE PANAMA BONDS.
Possibility of Depreciation of Out
standing Securities Discussed.

Washington, July 22.-The possibility
of depreciation of outstanding securi-
ties of the government in case the
treasury throws on the market any
portion of the Panama canal bonds,
whose issuance is to be authorized to
the extent of the total estimated cost
of completion of the canal, was the
subject of conferences in New York
yesterday between United States
Treasurer Charles H. Treat and finan-
Gle rs there.
Some fear has been expressed in Wall
street that if the proposed bonds,
which are to bear interest not exceed
ing per cent, are to be permitted to
be used as a basis for bank note circu-
lation, it would make almost limitless
currency that might be taken out
Three bank presidents were among
those with whom Treasurer Treat talk
ed in New York and each gave Ills
views along that line.
Treasury officials take the position
that there is no likelihood of deprecia-
ton of outstanding bonds, even if any
considerable portion of the proposed
canal bond authorization is taken ad
vantage of. The bond market conditions
at such time would afford basis for
working out the details of the issue to
best meet the situation Every safe
guard possible under the existing laws
would be thoroughly considered and
action to meet any such contingency as
a resulting depreciation would have to
be taken by Congress.
Secretary MacVeagh recently an
nounced that the body resources of the
treasury are ample and even if Con-
gress makes the proposed authorize
ton, no bonds under it would be issued
until required. Most or the $3.50 900
which the government deposited in the
national banks to aid them in time
of monetary stringency has been re-
turned to the treasury. Secretary Mac
Veagh called in this whole amount,
payable within two periods, SIS. 1896, 900
July IS. and $5,63S 900 July 81 Today the
treasury received $21O006 on this ac-
count, making a total Of $19.3S0,900 sc
far.

APPRENTICES STRIKE, TOO.
Lads Employed in Printing Press
Place Follow Example of Journeymen

New York, July 22.-The 400 appren-
tees in the printing press factory of r
Hoe & Co., 50f Grand street, which has
just made an agreement with the jour
neymen by which they received on an
average an increase in wages of 81 q
day, initiated the example of their ell
dcrs and made a demand for an in
crease in wages Of $l0S a week, fol-
lowed yesterday by q strike The boys
had IN agreement with the firm made
by their parents for them, as the firm
did not care to make agreements witt,
minors.
The boys We're taught the trade by
expert instructors who were paid by
the firm and got graduated scale of
wages, increasing SO cents week ey
cry six months until the term of APP
premiership was over. They also got
supper free every evening.
The journeymen are organized as the
Eureka Lodge of the International AS
ISOLATION of Machinists When they
asked for an increase of wages they al
so made a demand that the apprentices
be limited to certain number. This
would have meant the throwing on the
street of $50 apprentices. The demand
about the apprentices was waived.
Meantime the apprentices were or
ganized as the Junior Eureka Lodge o.
the association. The fact that their pa
rents had made an agreement for them
did not worry them. Those boys who
did not care if they lost their jobs were
elected as a committee to make the
demand which was refused The firm
yesterday had the idea that the strike
was part of the apprenticeship fight
of the journeymen.
