MAINE sENAToRsHiP

AUGUSTA, Me, Sept. 23.--The con test in the Maine democracy over the election of United States senator so succeed Senator Hale will un- doubtedly be one of the fiercest po- Iitical battles witnessed in this state in many years.
 It was at first thought this place would be conceded to Charles F. Johnson of waterville, but last week George Nj. Hanson of Calais, who |came within few votes of defeating Representative Guernsey in the Fourth district, announced that he would be a candidate. He is su- preme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias Obadiah Gardner of Rock land, Democratic candidate for gov ernod in 1908, but defeated in con- vention this year, has also announced that he is candidate He seconded the nomination of MT. Plaisted. car. rying the convention with him. He then took the stump and worked Toy, ally for his successful rival.
 It is expected that William NJ Pennell of Portland, who nearly de feated Asher c. Hinds for congress in the First district, will also enter the race for the senatorship.

While stumping Cochise county with Joe Morrison, et al. in the re cent election for delegates to the constitutional convention Hon. Ralph Cameron was emphatic in his state uent that if the democratic nominees should be elected to draft the pro posed constitution the chances Of statehood for Arizona would go traight to the bow VOWS and viT- dly pictured old Cerberus gnawing upon them. That, however. was be- fore election. It was only campaign talk to fool the voters. Now the Hon.

TRIES ID SELL
 HIS CHILDREN
 AT AN AUCTION
Pittsburg Preacher Nearly Mobbed By His Indignant Parishioners for Strange Act At His Home Town

PITTSBURG, Sept. 23.-The Rev Thomas G. Boord. pastor of the Wylie avenue Baptist church of Pittsburg, was almost mobbed by his parishion- CTS this morning. after the church people had read in the morning pa- pers how their pastor, pleading pow erty, had tried to sell two of his children at public auction last night on the streets of Circleville. Pa, his home town.
 The minister had been subjected to some rather harsh treatment last evening when he tried to get bids on two of his children in the public square of Circleville. Boord claimed that he was too poor to keep his five little ones, and that he must sell two of them in order to keep the other three. Yesterday Boord flooded Circleville with the following handbills:
 Auction tonight The undersigned will sell at public auction his two children, as hereinafter described: One boy, seven years old, fair com plexion, weighs forty-three pounds strong of body and mind; has never been to school. but would make a competent newsboy and be able to earn good wages in three years Win be great support to buyer in less than eight years.
 One girl, aged ten, dark com plexion, weighs ffty-three pounds. Has had four years schooling; was youngest pupil in her class. Can execute any household duties, such as plain sewing and cooking. dishwash- ing, etc. For a child's nurse canno. be excelled. Will be competent to keep an ordiary house in six years time
 Sale is to take place corner Third and Main streets at 7:30 tonight. Purchaser must be good, moral per son,
 At 7:30 o'clock there were 1000 persons on hand when the Rev. Boord appeared, accompanied by a nice, clean looking boy and a girl, and announced that the auction was ready to start. He declared that the children he was offering for sale were his own.
 The announcement struck the crowd dumb. When MT. Boord asked for bids some of the prominent citi- zens of Circleville interfered and told him that the sale could not go on. They told him that slavery had been abolished in this country and that it was contrary to the constitu- tion of the United States to sell per sons at public auction.
 Mr. Boord tried to defend his ac- ton, but was unsuccessful. He final ly called the auction of, when many in the crowd showed disposition to become rough.
 There was much trouble in store for the Rev. Mir Boord when he reached his Pittsburg church this

outcome and believes that when 't comes of framing as constitution the delegates at Phoenix will eSec- else consideraSlle ca-e not to run the risk of getting turned down by con gress.
 We republicans" said MT. Gamer on, believe in the rule of the ma jority and there is no question who has the majority. We are, however, quite confident of statehood, never theless and are hoping for the best.
 will the republicans vote to ratify a constitution providing for the in- itiative, referendum and recall" was asked Mir Cameron.
 Well, as to that, it is hard to say said the delegate. with a smile The convention will likely include the straight out Oregon plan, with the , and per cent. provisions. l think the republicans showed pretty plainly where they stood on this proposition in the recent campaign" l"
 All of which leads to the conclus. ion that the delegates believe the spirit of compromise will prevail when it comes to the constitution and the ratification thereof.
 The result of the recent election, however, of course indicates that the constitution, even if radical, will be ratified by the democratic majority of the voters of Arizona
 Whether the republican hope, ex- pressed by Mir. Cameron that state hood will go through, is well founded or not is a question.

DEATH RATE IN SOME OF
 THE CITIES HAS DROPPED

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The death rate in the death registration cities and states of the United States dropped to IS per 1000 of provision ally estimated population last year. according to the forthcoming United States census bureaus bulletin on mortality statistics for 1909. which has been submitted to Director Du- rand by Dr. Greasy L. Wilbur. chief statistican for vital statistics.
 In 1908 the death rate in the cen sus bureaus registration area was 15.4 per 1000 and in the bureaus an nual report for that year, issued last spring, it was stated that it was evi- dent that an era of low mortality had begun.
 The death rate for 1909 is, the bulletin states, lower than that of any previous year of registration and probably is the lowest that ever oc- cured in the history of the United States.
 It is stated that the mortality was distributed with more than ordinary uniformity throughout the year 1909 and no epidemics of other than a very local extent were found to have occurred.
 It is a fact of much interest, the bulletin states, as showing the gen eral prevalence in 1909 of extremely favorable conditions for human life, that the death rate of England and Wales for that year was 14.5 per 1000, which was also the lowest on record for that country, while the rate of I4 for the city of London was even lower, and demonstrates the faliacy of the belief that high death rates are necessarily found in large cities.
 The total number of deaths re turned from the registration era for 1909 was T32,53S, an increase of 4o,- 964 over the number, 691,57 re- turned for 1908.
 or the total number in 1909, there were 3sS,5s7 deaths. or 54.4 per cent

among males, as compared with 53.4 in 1908.
 The largest number of deaths re- turned for any month in 1909 was 70.0ss for March. With the great majority of the registration states and cities in the month having the largest number of deaths. while June is the month of lowest mortality.
 The provisionally estimated az gregate population of the registration area of the United States in 1909 is 4S,776,s9S. or 55.3 per cent. of the total estimated population of conti- mental United States.
 The official death registration area is composed of those states and cities which require the registration of a death before the issuance of a burial permit, and which have complied with other requirements imposed by the census bureau as conditions prece- dent to inclusion in this area whose
 
 death returns are annually collected, tabulated, analysed, and presented in bulletin and report form by the cen sus bureau. In 1909 the death regis tration area included the following states:
 California, Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, Maine. Maryland, Massachu- sets, Michigan. New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio. Penn sylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota Vermont. Washington and Wiscon- sin.
 Tn addition to these, returns of deaths were received from 54 cities in non-registration states. in which the registration under local ordin- ances is considered satisfactory. The District of Columbia, which is CO terminous with the City of Washing ton, is not included in the list of registration cities. For most purposes it is treated as a city, but in the table showing groups of registration states the District Of Columbia is included as a state area.
