Augusta, Me.-The ordinance exclud.
ing automobiles from the streets of Bar
Harbor, passed by the town government,
was declared constitutional by the law
court, the highest tribunal in Maine. The
case, which has occupied attention in
town governments and state courts for
nearly year, grew out of the attempt
of s. H. Mayo to drive through the town
in an automobile as test of the law.

The speed nuisance has become so
bad in Chicago that it is seriously pro-
posed to equip the street crossings

some recognition of the life, safety

remedy is drastic, but trifle print
tive. A few speed maniacs serving
workhouse sentences would doubtless

Mexico City, Feb. 17.-Between
two hundred and fifty and three
hundred people were burned to death
and many injured in fire which de-
stroyed the Flores Theatre in the
city of Acapulco Sunday night. The
news of the disaster reached this
city Tuesday afternoon, Geographic
communication with that place hav-

fact that the telegraph Office, which
adjoined the theatre, was burned
and all the wires were put out of
commission.
The Flores Theatre was a wooden
structure and over 1000 people
crowded into it to witness a special
performance given in honor of Gov.
Damian Flores.
One of the numbers on the pro-
gram consisted of a series Of moving
pictures. While the operator was

That those who were not in very
close touch with the proceedings Of
last week, may better understand
the provisions of the agreement
reached, whereby farmers may sell
tobacco loose through the Associa-
ton, is the following written.
Aside from the fact that the to-
bacco may be delivered loose from
the wagon to the factory, the two
chief points in the agreement were,
that the purchaser must pay not less
than the Association price, and must
buy in lots of not less than 100000
pounds. To make the sale, a pool
Of not less than 100000 pounds is
formed. The farmers making up
the pool, then take from their barns
to the Association salesroom, types
fairly representing, so far as pos
sible,. their crops of tobacco. At the
salesroom, these types are graded
by the Association Graders, thereby
putting y price on it. which is the
minimum price that may be paid for
it, but if the pooled farmers can Sc
cure a bigger price so much the bet
ter, the Association only proposing
to protect them from being forced
to take lower price.
The claim has often been made by
tobacco buyers as we'll as farmers,
that a better price could be paid or
secured, as the case may be, with
the tobacco in the loose state than
that secured by the Association after
its being priced. If this is so, surely
the opportunity is afforded by the
terms Of this agreement, and buyers
of such pools should be easily found

is found and the sale is made, the to-
bacco is delivered loose at the pur
chaser's factory or warehouse, where
the association furnishes a grader,
of the pooled farmers selection, and
an accountant to see that the tobac-
co comes up to the type by which
the purchase is made, and to help
weigh and keep accounts, etc.
The complaint has already been
made by the small farmer that he
doesn't get square deal in this
matter: that although it is under
stood this agreement applies equally
to all localities, yet where a commu-
nifty is composed of farmers all Of
whom have small crops, that there
will be trouble in securing a pool of
100000 pounds. To this l will say l
believe you will not have as much
trouble making up the pool as you
will in finding the purchaser.
Also if a pool is formed and a sale
made, for instance by the farmers
of the Longview precinct, to the
Imperial Tobacco Company, there is
no reason why any farmer from any
where, one owning even ]. 200 pounds,
from Bakers Mill precinct say,
should not have his crop graded by
the Association graders and let it go
to the Imperial Tobacco Company,
provided said Company will pay the
price and provided delivery is made
while pooled tobacco is being deliver
ed, there being no limit over
100000 pounds which man may
buy.

Scripture Authority-Book of Ezra,
especially chapters and 10.
The Book of Ezra.-The Book of Ezra
Is undoubtedly continuation of the Book
of Chronicles. It covers a period extend
ing over seventy-nine years from 536 to
G57 B. c. There are two main portions to
the book. The first gives the return OF
the captives in the time of Cyrus, B. C.
b36, and the rebuilding of the temple in
terrupted by the Samaritans, but renewed
at the preaching of Haggai and Zechar1-
all. Some portions of this book are
In Chaldee. The second part relates the
second immigration of exiles in the reign
Of Artaxerxes Longirous, B. C. 457, with
Ezra himself, and the institution of his
great reform. Some credit Daniel with
being the author Of the first chapter. AS
regards Ezra 2 and as far as 81, it is
found in the seventh chapter of Nehemi-
ali, where many Biblical scholars hold it
belongs. The next portion extends from
81 to the end of chapter 6. With the
exception of one large explanatory addi-
ton by Ezra, extending from 4:6 to %,
this portion is the work of writer con-
temporary with Zerubbabel and Joshua,
and an eye witness of the rebuilding of
the temple in the beginning of the reign
of Darius Hystaspis. The last four chap
tiers, beginning with chapter Z, are Ezra's
own, and continue the history after a gap
OF hfty-eight years-from the sixth of
Darius to the seventh of Artaxerxes.
