TAKES MACAO CASE
DIRECT TO CHINA
Portugal. Baffled by Delegates to
the Hongkong Conference, Seeks
Maintenance of Status Quo.

LISBON, November 19.-The seculo
TODAY says that the Chinese dele
gates to the Hongkong conference hav-
inc refused to recognize Portugal s
claims in Macao or to submit the ques-
ton to arbitration, Portugal, with the
support of Great Britain, has opened
pourparIers direct with China for the
maintenance of the status quo.
Macao, in China, situated on an IS
land of the same name at the mouth
of the Canton River, forms with the
two small adjacent islands of Taipa and
Coloane, a province, the city beng
divided into two wards, one inhabited
by Chinese and the other by non-Chl-
nese. each having its own admln1stra-
tor.
China holds that all the dependencies
of the City of Macao have been oceu-
pied illegally by Portugal, and that the
only concession of territory ever made
to Portugal was the town of Macao,
and she insists that the territory and
islands be evacuated by Portugal.
Some time ago the Portuguese gov
eminent sent General Joaquin Jose
Machado to China in the hope of reach
ing an amicable settlement of the dis

ANCIENT DAUBS
CONE At LAST
Two Huge Paintings at Capitol
Are Removed and Put
Away in Storage.

At last the two huge daubs that for
so many years have hung in the ante
chamber of the Governor s office and
which were supposed to represent old
Honolulu but which looked more ike
two green fits struck by a cotton bat
ting snow storm. have been removed
and are now safely packed away in
some storage room of the capitol. One
of them fell down with a tremendous
crash yesterday, nearly soaring the
stenographer out of her wits, and this
was taken as a favorable opportunity
to get rid of the two pictures that have
long been eyesores to those who have
occasion to be about the capitol.
The pictures, both of colossal pro-
portions, Were neither of them finished,
and they would never have amounted
too much if they had been finished. The
clouds looked like fluffy punches of
cotton thrown with Indifferent aim at
the canvas, while the mountains, trees
and grass looked like the bad dream
that made Bill a better boy.
In the foreground of one of the pic
lures is a canoe conveying a mission
arv to the scene of his labors-but he
appears to be going backwards, as the
outrigger is on the wrong side of the
canoe, The two pictures were about as
bad as they could be, and the blank
walls viii be a welcome relief from
their inartistic presence, besides which
Private Secretary Mcbride will be re-
Iieved of the necessity of explaining
to smiling visitors that the paintings
were preserved more for their historic
value than for their artistic qualities.

Dear Sirs:-"I was told of your great
remedy, Partisan Sage, that it would
and tried it and it is fine. 1 am young
man and only twenty-five, and was COM
pletely bald on the top of my head and
now l have hair one inch long with the
use of only one bottle. only wish L
could have shown you by photo before
now. l shall certainly keep on using it
until l have good head of hair, which
have no doubt it will bring" Oscar
Armstrong, Engineer, Belleville Horse
shoe & Rolling Mill Co., Beleville, Ont,
August 81, 1909.
To every reader of the Journal the
American makers Of Partisan Sage wish
to emphatically state that they do not
guarantee Partisan Sage to grow hair on
bald heads, because in the great majority
of eases the hair roots are absolutely
dead and not even the wonderful virtue
of Partisan Sage can resurrect them.
Mr.. Armstrong started to use Partisan
Sage in time before the hair root was en-
tirely dead and in such case there is no
good reason why Partisan Sage should not
restore his hair.
Bowditch, Webster & Co. guarantee
Partisan Sage to remove every trace of
dandruff, stop falling hair and itching
scalp in two weeks or money back, but
they do not guarantee it to grow hair on
bald heads.

Or. Burrage Presents PAPER II esfora,
e,fofKehlfebsc historical Sbeist}.f


An exceedingly interesting paper
dealing with "A Fugitive Slave Case in
Maine in 1887" was read before the
Kennebec Historical Society at a we'll
attended meeting at Library hall Tues
day evening by the State historian,
Rev. H. S. Burrage, d. D., OF the Ma
tional Home. A brief abstract Of the
paper follows:
Early in May, 1887, the schooner Su-
san, Daniel Philbrook of Camden, Me,
master and Edward Kelleran Of Cush-
ing, Me-, mate, was in the harbor of
Savannah. During her stay at Savan-
nah some repairs were made on the
schooner and one of the laborers en-
gagged in this service was a slave. %
years of age, whose name was Atticus.
He concealed himself in the hold of the
vessel, which sailed from Savannah
about May on her return voyage to
Maine. The owners Of the slave were
James and Henry Sagurs OF Chatham
county, Ga. The Susan arrived at
Thomaston on the 9th or 10th of May
and the owners of the slave, who were
in pursuit came into the harbor at
Rockland, then East Thomaston, a
day later. Mr.. Sagurs offered reward
of $40 for the apprehension of the slave
and his return to his masters. For this
sum two men under the pretense of be-
friending Atticus, induced him to take
refuge in a barn on the old Knox es-
tate in Thomaston and there Mr.. Sa-
ours obtained possession of his slave.
June is, 1887. James Sagurs went be-
fore a magistrate of Chatham county,
Ca, and brought against Philbrook
and Kelleran a charge of stealing and
carrying away without the, limits Of
the state the slave Atticus. The war
rant was issued and on the same day
the magistrate was informed that Phil
brook ard kelleran could not be found.
June q Hon. William Schley, COVER
nor of Georgia, addressed a letter to
Governor Dunlap of Maine demanding
the arrest of Philbrook and kelleran,
if to be found in the State. Coy. Dun
lap, Aug. 16. 1887, acknowledged the re-
ceipt of this communication, hut de-
clined to accede to the demand made
by the governor of Georgia. The Leg
islature of Georgia passed resolutions
requesting the executive of Georgia to
make a second demand upon the Gov
ernor of Maine for the fugitives.
In his annual message to the Legis-
lature of Maine in January, 1910, Cover
nor Fairchild criticized language used
by the then governor of Georgia in re-
ferring to the case. The late Hon. ]. W.
Bradbury Of Augusta is authority for
the statement that Gov. Fairchild in
1874, then United States senator from
Maine, was the popular choice for sec
ong place on the Democratic ticket at
the Baltimore convention and would
have been nominated if the presenta-
ton of his name had not been violently
opposed by one of the Southern dele
gates. who objected to his nomination
on account of the governors attitude
in the dispute between Maine and
Georgia.
