Missile to catch Holsters the Monhegan
people do big business at it, nearly
every man and boy on the island being
engaged it it. The greater part of the
Holsters are sent to Portland and the
prices received are such as to count up in
good sized figures before the five months
are over.
Not all, however, are sent away, for
those who wish Holsters for summer use,
hoard them up, keeping them in cars in
the harbor, and getting them as needed.
When asked what people did if sick,
Mr.. Davis said they got doctor from
one of the islands to come over. The
price is $40, and then besides this he gets
$3.50 for every call he makes. When
ever a doctor comes the people plan to
make use of him. Last winter Mr.
Davis himself was sick, had bad foot
he thinks he froze it, and then he had
the grip. Ever so many other people
had the grip. cit was a sick time here
for While" said Mr.. Davis.
Just about that time shower clouds ap-
peared in the sky and the visitor thought
it wiser to join the other members of
the party at the hotel. The next day
the whole four visited Mr.. Davis at his
work and the last morning of our stay
we went over to bid him good bye, and
express our regrets at not being able 70
call at his home as he had invited US to
do. This time he told us of lobster out
in one Of the cars in the harbor, that
weighed seventeen pounds. otis the
biggest one ever brought in here. George
caught it on trawl. dunno what he's
going to do with it. No it amt fit to eat,
too tough. Wish l had skiff I'd take
you out to see it, But he had no skiff
handy and to the regret of all of US we
didn't see that seventeen pound lobster.

The census bulletin includes a table
showing the population of the State of
Maine at each census from 1890 to 1910,
inclusive, which brings out the marked
contrast between the growth of the
State down to 1850 and its growth since
then. When the first Federal census was
taken, in 1890, Maine, which at that
time formed a part of the State of
Massachusetts, had population of &c.
$40. in the 20 years from 1890 to 1910
the population more than doubled, hav-
ing increased to 228. 705. In the next 30
years it again more than doubled, being
sol, 1893 in 1910. During the next 20
years, from 1910 to 1860, the population
increased little more than ne-fourth,
and during the last so years, from 1860
to 1910, it has increased something less
than one-ffth, or 1872 per cent. The
population of the State is now TAP, 371.
THOUSANDS OF MAINE EMIGRANTs.
The very marked check in the popula-
ton growth of the State occurring at
the middle of the last century is easily
understood and readily accounted for by
those who are familiar with history 1t
represents the call of the West. The
tide of westward emigration from the
State of Maine set in at about this time,
and its effect on population statistics, al
though not given in this bulletin, is re-
corded by census figures presented else
where. In 1850, 81, 1913 natives of Maine
were returned by the census as residents
of other States; by 1860 the number in
creased to 116,036; by 1870 to las, 205
and at the census of 1900 the number OF
natives of Maine living in other States

When Ellen Terry was presented
with a Founders gold medal at the
New theater, New York, recently-an
honor conferred in recognition of her
great services to dramatic art-she
was called upon to make speech of
acceptance. 1t so happened that the
actress was exceedingly hoarse and
she was therefore forced to cut her
remarks short. So she told this story:
"A friend of mine once bought a par
rot and gave much money for it with
the understanding that it could speak
fiuently, but when he reached home
with it he found to his dismay that
the bird was dumb. So he took it
back. This parrot cannot say word,
he said Indignantly to the bird fancier.

know it can't, but it's devil to

.LORIMER HOLDS
SEAT IN SENATE
RESOLUTION DECLARING HIM
NOT LEGALLY ELECTED LOSES.
Illinois Man Secures Majority of
the Sitting Members-La Fol-
Iette's Speech Cut Short.

Washington.-Mr Lorimer retains
his seat in the United States senate.
BY a vote of 46 to 40 that body
Wednesday defeated the resolution
introduced by Senator Beveridge, de-
claring that the junior senator from
Illinois had not legally been elected.
The end of the case which for many
months had been before the senate
and had provoked one of the most bit
ter fights in that body for years-a
fight in, which the personal equation
served to heighten and intensity the
feeling-came shortly after 1:3O
o'clock. Promptly at that hour the
vice-president brought his gavel down
sharply upon his desk and called for
a vote on the resolution. The agree
ment entered into by the members
called for he shutting off of all debate
at that hour and the settlement OF
the issue by a vote.
Senator LaFollette had the floor at
the time and the rap of the gavel
forced him to an abrupt termination
of his anti-Lorimer speech. The
ayes and nays were sounded and the
crowded floor and galleries followed
the roll call with interest most in
tense.
Upon the conclusion Of the roll call
and the announcement of the result
applause was heard from the galleries
while on the floor Senator Lorimers
friends hastened to tender their con.
gratulations.

ATTACK MADE ON
ELECTRIC COMBINE
MONOPOLY IN CARBON AND IN
cANDEscENT LIGHTS.
Government Regards Prosecution as
More Important Than Standard
oil Case.

Cleveland, O.-The United States
government began here tight
against what is alleged to be one OF
the most powerful and complete mo-
nopolies in the country, when suit
was filed against thirty-five concerns
engaged in the manufacture of incan-
descent electric lights.
The National Electric Lamp Com
pany, which has its headquarters here,
and the General Electric Company OF
New York are named as two of the
defendants and are charged with be-
ing the keystone of the trust, which
has its ramifcations in every state
in the Union.
According to the governments pc
tition, the defendant companies are
banded together in conspiracy in
restraint of trade and have already
gained control of 81 per cent. of the
country's supply of electric lights.
The trust is alleged to have had its
origin soon after 1904, the year in
which the United States patents on
carbon filament incandescent lamps
expired.
The petition asserts that the profits
of the combination as paid in divi
dends were $4,000 in 1894, $26O,O0O
in 1909 and 100000 in 1910. Last
year the company is said to have held
81, ,4S9, 1888 as an undivided surplus
The capital is now listed at $5.000,OOO
The extent of the industry is shown
in the statement that Approximately
SO,O00,000 lamps are sold in this
country every year for an aggregate
purchasing amount of $18.000,000.

Amendment of Bacon of Georgia
Placing Control in Hands of
Congress Defeated.

Washington.-The senate today de-
feated the resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution so as
to provide that senators be elected
by direct vote of the people. A brave
fight had been made by the sup
porters of the measure, as was indi-
Gated by the vote Fifty-four senators
stood for the resolution and thirty
three against it.
Senator Bacon, who determinedly
has opposed the resolution as altered
under the Sutherland amendment,
placing the control of the elections in
the hands of congress, hoped to have
an amedment adopted that might
render the measure acceptable to
some OF. the Southern senator's. The
Georgia senator's effort was to pro-
vide that the federal supervision of
the elections should apply only in
those states wherein the legislatures
had failed to designate the manner
and method of holding the elections.
Vice-President Sherman ruled the
Bacon amendment out of order and
the roll call was begun.
The roll call was:

YETOES DAYLIGHT 6ILL

Unconstitutional

Austin, Tex.-Gov. Oscar B. Col
quit vetoed the daylight bill, requir-
ing saloons in Texas to remain closed
from Z o'clock in the evening until
6 in the morning. He held that the
bill was unconstitutional because it
prohibits a particular class of persons,
in this case saloon keepers, from
making contributions to political cam
paigns.
Il must conclude" he says, that it
(the campaign proyiso) is not the re-
suit Of ignorance, but is the deliber-
ate act of partisan spirit which is
seeking to bolster up political issues
in this state which are seemingly
melting away in other sections of
the country where rant and cant and

ments have been forced to give way

The decision was reached at a meet
