MAINE SHIP BUILDING AT LOW
 E06. 'f

The shipbuilders of Maine. one producers of ocean fleets. have been compelled this year to mourn a de- cline in their trade. shipbuilding in Maine having reached the low-water mark. the new fleet aggregating but 8.s07 net tons, which is not enough. to offset the losses by wreck, fire and de- cay. says zion's Herald. Only nine schooners of more. than 100 tons regis ter were launched, and the only other good sized vessel of any class built was railroad transfer boat This tonnage of S.907 net tons compares very unfayorably with IA, col tons in 1908. 15,533 in 1907, and 41,972 in 1904. The special feature of the year was the launching at Bath. of the six-mast- ed schooner Wyoming of PISS net tons. which in gross measurement is the rooniest schooner afloat. and Is said to be the largest wooden sailing vessel in the world. Of the dozen shipbuilding districts in Maine only six turned out during the past year any new tonnage, and in two of these the tonnage is of trifling amount. But at Bath this year; in addition to the merchantmen, the Bath iron works has buiH the tor pedo boat destroyers Reid and Ftusser. and has three more vessels of that type in process of construction.

FIRST GUILLOTINE FOR
CHINA IN PLACE

Pekin.-The first guillotine to be
employed in China has arrived here
from France. It will be set up inside
the new prison, as, according u recent
regulations, executions will no longer
be public.
Penalty of death, as laid down in
the old code, had six degrees-death
by torture, immediate decapitation and
exhibition of the head, decapitation
after some months, immediate de-
capitation without exhibition Of the
head, immediate hanging and hanging
after some months.
According to the new code the death
penalty is in four degrees-immedi-
ate decapitation, deferred decapita-
ton, immediate hanging and deferr.
ed hanging. The advantage to the
condemned person of a deferred ex-
ecution consists in the fact that every
year the list of names of those under
sentence Of death is submitted to the
Emperor, and under the names OF
Of such as are to be executed he draws
a red line. The others escape for that

FIND POLICENIAN'S LOT
STILL NOT A HAPPY ONE

New York-An investiga ton Just
completed shows that the average
policeman is far from having the
easy time he has been supposed to
enjoy. At a single station house It
was discovered that no less than IS
men have been forced to pawn their
dress uniforms. A great number are
i'm the habit of pawning their sum-
mer uniforms in the winter and their
winter uniforms in the summer.
The policeman's annual pay, it was
shown, begins at $500 and after five
years service increases to $14O0, at
the rate of $1,000 a year. However,
the rules, regulations and customs of
the department cut large slice from
these figures. To begin with, as soon
as man indicates a desire to join
the force, it is suggested that he fit
himself for the mental and physical
examination by attending some one of
the private preparatory schools The
fee for each of the two courses is $50
so that right at the start 800 of his
first years salary is gone
Then . per cent of each policeman's
salary, amounting to SIG, the first
year, is regularly deducted for the
pension fund, leaving by this time 1854
for the first u months service.
Every policeman must have three
uniforms costing altogether $155, and
though they are undoubtedly worth
the money the original $500 is furth-
er reduced to $529. Otner equipment,
repairs, dues and the like, with a to-
tai altogether of 1888, bring his net
salary down to S467 for the first year
or less than the amount earned by the
day laborer.

New Crop Wheat Breaks All Records
Pail Wheat Is Better-CrOps This
Year Will Be One of Most Profit

Walla Walla.-As harvest advances
prospects for good returns for this
years crop increase and the past
weeks developments were of a par
tioularly encouraging nature. First OF
all new crop wheat broke all records
for high prices. Then France
bidding for Wslla Walla wheat
strengthened the local market. Con-
tinued good yields are helping and
the extra quality of the grain is also
an aid.
Prices on wheat started at 80 cents
for the new crop. This went to 90
l-2cents in another day, and on
Thursday 81 cents was offered. farm

price. This is, of course for blue

Fall Wheat Better.

Yields of from 80 to so bushels are
most common, and fall grain will av.

soil is light, and burning is most fear

Crops Profitable.
Prices will make the crop one of
the most profitable for years. How
ever, there is one thing against the
big returns idea and that Is tina,
spring grain is yielding far under
fall sown wheat, both in weight and
quantity. AS there was much less
than the usual amount of fall sown
wheat, this will make an appreciable
difference in the money returned Ia
the Walla Walla valley as a result OF
the wheat harvest this year.
The total absence of smut is prov
Ing a blessing to the farmer, and SO
far there has not been a single acci-
dent by fire or explosion. This is a
decided relief over the trouble of last
year, when machine after machine
was destroyed by smut explosions.
The first accident of the season
came this week, when Thomas Blue

machine, lost. the fingers of his right
hand in the gearing. Up to this time
however there have been remarkably
few accidents in the grain fields
There are plenty Of men 20 fill the
crews this year, and farmers say they
are getting a better class Of labor
than ever before. Just why this is
has not been explained, but the fact
remains that there are few iders on
the streets and at the same time no
jobs going begging; while every man
who is looking for work has been
able thus far to find it.

Consider This Advice.

No woman should submit to a surgi-
cal operation, which may mean death,
until she has given Lydia Il. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made exclusive
ly from roots and herbs, a fair trial.
This famous medicine for women
has for thirty years proved to be the
most valuable tonic and invigorator of
the female organism. Women resid-
ing in almost every city and town in
the United States bear willing testi-
mony to the wonderful virtue Of Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t cures female ills, and creates radi-
ant, buoyant female health. If YOU
are ILL for your own sake as well as
those you love, give it a trial.

\ MODERN BRIDE.
Insisted on Occupying Separate Room
and Divorce Followed.

New York.-Eleanor Maude Gerow,
the "invincibly modest bride" is no
longer a wife Of Albert II. Gerow. Her
modesty proved such an obstacle to
their matrimonial happiness that Su-
preme Court Justice Bischoff annulled
the marital contract at the request of
the husband. At the expiration Of
three months either or both parties
will be free to remarry.
The case of Gerow versus Gerow is
regarded as unique. 1t is the first
time in the history of the New York
courts, so far as is known, that the
law has separated husbanu and wife
because the woman. although willing
to be married, was unwilling to be a
wife. Technically, the bride was
guilty of fraud" in having led her
husband to suppose that they were to
be more than "just friends" after the
marriage ceremony.
Graduate of Wellesley.
The bride is the daughter of Thom-
as Num-, of Maiden. a suburb of Bos-
ton. She is a graduate of Wellesley
College. and highly accomplished in
music and art. Five years prior to

parents in Maiden.
Mr.. Gerow informed the court that
he brought his bride directly to New
York City. They arrived at the Hotel

To the surprise Of the husband. how
