keith's Theatre, Boston

Eva Tanguay, who has been the sensa-
ton OF the week in Boston, will hold over
and head another big bill at Keith's.
During her second week she will make
several changes, but retain those features
of which the public never seems to tire.
Another headline feature will be Mary
Sanders and an excellent company made
up of Boston fayorites. 1t will include
Walter Walker, Rose Morrison and Her.
bert Yost. They will appear in a con-
densed version Of ''Nance Oldfeld", and
it is said that this strong company Of
players have rich treat in store for their
friends.
Still another favorite on the bill is the
little English boy, Laddie Cliff, whose &C.
centric dancing carried the town by storm
last summer.
The Mira Golem troupe of acrobats has
also been retained. Others on the bill are
Niblo's wonderful birds; the Bison city
four, said to be the best .quartette now be-
fore the public; Cartme,l and Harris in
sketch. and Paganinni's Ghost, novelty

ranked addresses have all been written
and forwarded to the department OF agri-
culture where they will be attached to the
proper packages Of divers varieties for the
vegetable and flower gardens.
The packages for the constituents OF
southern representatives have to 20 out
first. The planting season comes earlier
in the sunny southland, and the depart
ment has to consider that fact. Gov.
Burleigh does not consider the politics OF
his constituents in distributing his allot-
ment of government seeds. There are not
enough for everybody, but he makes them
go as far as they will among democrats
and republicans.

Child Labor i'm Maine

Maine is one of the few northern
states which requires no educational
test OF children who apply for papers
permitting them to work in factories.
A boy or girl Of fourteen, even if
absolutely illiterate, may present his
birth certificate to factory agent
and be employed. In other states
such child must be able to read and
write, at least, and this certainly is
not too much to demand.
! The United States census shows that
in relation to child illiteracy Maine
Stands twenty eighth in rank among
che states of the Union, having
dropped in ten years from the nine
teenth place. That this unfavorable
showing is at least in large part due
TO the lack of an educational qualifica-
tion for working children seems a
Unsuitable inference, and the state
child labor committee has asked the
legislature to amend the. child labor
law by the addition of such qualifica-
ton.
The proposed amendment would re-
quire every applicant for working
papers to demonstrate his ability to
read and write simple sentences in
English, and to perform simple
problems in the fundamental opera
lions of arithmeric-not a lofty
standard, it is true, but one assuring
6teracy.
If Maine is to be saved from the
dangers Of an ignorant citizenship, and
is to regain her former position, some
measure of this sort is urgently

Deafness Cannot be Cured

oy local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inhamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachain Tube. When this tube is
inhamed you have q rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tut
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but
an infiamed condition OF the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness (caused by Catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catsrrh Cure. Send

The Mt. Desert automobile bill is still
under consideration by the Legislative
committee, though it is understood the
report will be favorable. But, while this
favorable report is expected, there is
much question as to what will happen to
the bill when it gets into the House.
While many local conditions at Bar Har-
Dor make the request to have the ma
chimes kept out fairly reasonable, there
are reasons why it is not considered ad-
visabie. To enact this law would make .
precedent by which all towns in the State
wopid be entitled to a similar law. Al
ready the town of Sullivan is asking the
same thing, as is the town of Scion in
Somerset county. II Bar Harbor is en-
titled to it, these towns are. There is
where the rub comes. II this is followed
out, it won't be long before q number OF
towns will have the law. This would
have tendency to keep the autos out Of
the State, and it is well recognized that
the automobiles are bringing summer
people here who never came before, an d
who spend great many thousands Of
dollars in remote portions of the State,
which, heretofore, never received q bene-
fit from the summer visitors. 1t is to pro-
tect these interests that there is an oppo-
sition to the bill.

Representative Burieigh has also been
before the rivers and harbors committee
of the House, asking for furthur SURVEYS
on the kennebec river, and his requests in
that regard will be granted. Representa-
tive Swasey has asked for additional sur
veys of East Boothbay harbor, and Repre-
sentative Allen for. surveys at the mouth
of the Saco river. 1t has been decided
that sill these authorizations shall go into
the omnibus bill which the committee
expects to report to the House in short
order.
Ever since he was a member of the
House Representative Burleigh has been
an advocate of large improvements to
further the navigation of the Kennebe.
One of the first things he accomplished
was an additional appropriation for deep
ening the channel between Augusta and
Gardiner. Some years ago he and Repre-
sentative Littlefield took leisurely
voyage down the river to inspect conditions
at various points, the river running
! through parts of both congressional dis
tricts.
There has been no river and harbor bill
IN the House, during Gov. Burleigh's ser.
vice there, which has not contained some
provision an Noked toward the expendi-
ture OF furthel preparations for improve
ment Of the Kennebec. And as soon as the
House had disposed OF the bill, he has al
ways FASTENED over to the Senate and to
Senator Frye's committee on commerce to
see il the appropriations could not be in
f.creAsed or some new projects added.
