is actively at work on the problem, and has
many volunteer helpers from all parts of the

Two years ago the Maine Legislature passed
bill excluding automobiles from the town of
Eden, in which Bar Harbor is situated, because
the wealthy summer residents urged that the
roads on Mt. Desert Island were narrow and
hilly and unsafe for motor cars. An effort is
now being made to repeal the exclusion act,
and bill to that effect is pending. General
Thomas H. Hubbard and other New Workers
who are summer residents of Bar Harbor are
urging that the law be allowed to remain as it
is and the effort to change it will meet with
determined opposition.

Jones, a student at Queens University, King
ston, Ontario, recently skated across Lake On
tario to spend Is minutes on American SOIL
While out for exercise in company with his
roommate, youth from London, England, and
another from the far North, who had never
seen the United States coast, the resolve was
made to do the stunt. The first stop was
made at Wolf Island, one of the Thousand ISL
and group, and after very short rest they
started out again. At first they had very
smooth ice, then encountered snow and hub
bles, and next came to fissure which compelled
them to make detour of several miles They
finally reached St. Vincent and enjoyed a
quarter of an hour on American soil. 1t was
necessary to return before sunset and that
complished. The trip covered thirty miles and
the time was hours and minutes.
We quote the following items of interest
from personal letter from Mrs A. l. Brown
under date of Augusta, January 26th: "We
had surprise the other evening. Ten of the
Secretary of State clerks called and presented
Mr.. Brown with beautiful golden oak library
table. They let me know before hand and
had refreshments. We had very jolly even
ing with speeches, friendly talks and good
lot of fun. 1t was lovely gift and perfect
match to our book cases at home. did not
know that any one in Augusta knew my birth
day but they found it out, and gave me a
lovely birthday party. l was presented with
flowers, candies, cards and beautiful book;
also lovely great birthday cake, all alight with
candles. 1t was my duty to blow them out,
then cut the cake and serve it to the guests.
Then came cards for an hour or two, and re-
fres hments. Then good nights were said with
many kind wishes for future birthdays

the peo ple
Last year, instead of having assets over lia-
bilities of $114.85, we were confronted with an
amount due in excess of the assets of $2O5.82,
while the expenses and permanent repairs of
this year have been the largest in the history
of the society. Very few repairs will be
needed this season, and with good weather
and good management the society should have
a substantial bank account at the close of the
season. The change of the dates from Sep
tember to August, proved move in the right
direction. The society is now on the flow
of the tide and it remains for the newly
elected officers of 1911 to keep abreast of the
times.
The site of the merry go-round has already
been leased for another season at a price of
$40, on which payment of $500 has been
made. In the choice of the Treasurer for an
other year, would recommend that the pres
ent system of bookkeeping be continued; that
the treasurer give suitable security bond, to
be paid by the society, and that every effort be
made to place the records, books and inven-
tories Of the society in such shape that they
may be easy of access in the future. There
had been no system of book k-keeping until the
past two years and the treasurer's records pre-
vious to that time are too crude for reference.
Thanking the officers and members for their
kind assistance in the past year, am,
Very truly yours,

SECRETARY WILSON
APPEARS MONDAY
BEFORE PROBERS
Will Be Asked to Explain
His Part in Wiley
Controversy.

Secretary Wilson, of the Department
of Agriculture, who has played a lead
ing role in the Wiley controversy, Will
take the witness stand Monday before
the House committee investigating the
McCabe- Wiley affair. The appearance
of the Secretary is awaited with great
interest by the committee and the pub
lie, for he has much to explain.
Although the testimony of DR.. Wiley,
concluded yesterday, has shown that So
icitor McCabe is the chief stumbling
block in the prompt and orderly admin
istration OF the pure food laws, there
mas cropped out at every hearing some
story OF how the Secretary himself. de-
signedly or otherwise, has hampered the
Bureau of Chemistry.
The Secretary will be asked to tel!
why he named DR.. Dunlap as ''asso-
cate chemist" an appointment which
DR.. Wiley construed as meaning that he
had been displaced in real authority for
some one in the better graces of the So
licitor and the department.
Position of Secretary.
Reversed rulings, unanswered letters,
and suppressed documents. all embar-
RAISING the work of DR.. Wiley, have
been laid at the feet of Secretary Will
son and Solicitor McCabe. DR.. Wiley
also testified that the Secretary himself
approved every detail Of the employ
ment Of DR.. H. II. Rusby. the founda-
ton stone about which the present con-
trovcrsy RACES. The chief chemist says
that he kept nothing from the Secretary
that he told him that DR.. RusDy Would
resign unless he could receive oetter
nav for his expert work, and that SEQ
,etary Wilson acquiesced In the ar
ranCement. The Secretary, said the chief
chemist, was willing to pay Dr. Rusp!
5000 a year. while DR.. Wiley cut the
amount down to $500.
The board of personnel recommended
the dismissal Of DR.. Wiley because or
the Rusby employment, and out OF this
transaction has come one of the most
unusual departmental scandals with
which any House investigating commit
tee has yet had to deal.
May Close Present Work.
The Secretary of Agriculture also
will be quizzed as to the appoint
ment of the Remsen referee board,
a higher court which reverses the
Bureau Of Chemistry occasionally.
DR.. Wiley testified that when food
adulterators appeal to the Remsen
board, he is poYerless until the board
acts, and that even II a decision is
DELAYED for a year or more the adult
orators can continue to use the OBJ
pectionable ingredients which the
bureau of Chemistry should put un-
der the ban at once.
Secretary Wilson's testimony prob
ably will conclude the hearings Of
the investigating committee for the
present, as the session of Congress
Is expected to adjourn early next
week The President has signified his
intention to consider the evidence
adduced before the committee, and
a departmental shake-up seems prob
able.

ORDEREDVANLOAD
OF SIX-CENT BACON
Southeast Resident Sees 1t Advertised at That Price,
and at Once Draws Out His Savings, But Alas, the
Newspaper Was Fifty-nine Years Old.

Rushing madly into a meat and pro-
vision store in Southeast Washington,
this morning, an excited workman
threw upon the counter a small roll OF
bills and a small sack which jingled
like the sound of coins as 1t struck the
hardwood hurface.
Give me $167.53 worth Of bacon, and
give 1t to me quick" he exclaimed to
the amused storekeeper. I've got
van backed up at the side alley to haul
1t away. Hurry up and let me have 1t.
the quickest get It will be too SLOW"
BY this time, the storekeeper caught
the excitement habit. Couldn't see why
any ordinary workman wanted $167.5S
worth of meat, and he said SO. Neither
could he see the reason for the wide
eyed customers bringing a moving van
to his store to carry away his pur-
chases. He also told him this.
The workman carried in his hand a
newspaper. He glanced at the paper,
and then repeated the order for bacon.
Lets see," he continued, II should
get about 1855 pounds, I guess"
You ought to get job in the Weather
Bureau" the shopman replied. I'll give
you another guess and let you watch me
NIX my scales aI lne odU HldEh.
At this, the would-be customer threw
upon the counter the newspaper which
he had carefully carried to the store.
IF you aren't selling bacon at 65k cents
per pound, why do you advertise it that
way?" he asked.
"Havn't had an advertisement In a
newspaper for years." the meat mer-
chant answered, picking up the crum-
pied sheet on the counter. He then
burst out into a hearty laugh.

3, 1852. What do you think / ara?
Sure enough, the newspaper, printed

The building, while the top of its roof
was only twelve feet from the ground,
was two stories high, and is now owned
by Robert Kelly. His father. one Of the
Oldest inhabitants Of Washington, owned
it before him, and he, 1t is said, pur-
chased 1t from the original builder.
The Eighth street hut was one with a
history. Here, during the slave days,
the original builder dispensed drinks
and jugs Of gin to the slaveowners who
came to this then small township to buy
and sell their products. J. e. Kelly,
who owned II at that time, often told
of the celebrities who pitched quoits in
the street In front Of the building. Kelly,
senior, was in both the Mexican and
civil wars.
The structure was razed by George
Lockwood.
