Still Trying to Raise the Maine.

Havana, Cuba, June 6.-The first
stage of the actual work of uncover
ing the wreck of the battleship Maine
was completed at o'clock this af-
ternoon, when pumping operations
ceased after the water level within
the great Golfer dam built around
the wreck had been lowered precisely
five feet.
This leaves the portion of the
wreck visible above the water prac-
tically the.same as on the night of
the disaster, before the huh had time
to become embedded in the mud at
the bottom Of the harbor.
The pumping is to be suspended
until June 18th, when the water level
will be reduced five feet. The work
will then be suspended again so that
a minute examination may be made
of all sections of the Golfer dam, af-
ter which the pumping will be con-
tinued at intervals, dependent upon
the result of the examination of the
dam, until the bottom is reached,
probably three Or four weeks hence.

Chicago Man Didn't Know He Was
Married.

Chicago, H., June 6.e-Municipal
Judge Stewart to-day held that thou
sands of weddings of the immediate
past we're illegal and void because
they had been performed by a justice
Of the peace from outside the city
limits in an Office he occupied in the
county building in Chicago. This
Justice of the peace was recently
ousted from the county building. The
Judge volunteered an opinion from
the bench that the justice of the
peace had no legal right to marry any
one in Chicago, being a justice from
outside of Chicago, and because JUS
tees we're abolished in the city in
1905.
At the same time, Phillip Fishman
was telling Judge Cooper how he was
married without knowing it. He
wanted the marriage dissolved. He
said he inquired of a clerk in the
county clerks office for peddler' S
license. With him was young
friend. A slip of paper was handed
him, he said, and they were taken to
Justice Stacey's office. He told the
court he thought he was swearing to
something on the permit when he and
the girl said the customary Il do

In Addition To Digging the Canal. the
Government II Doing All Sorts of
Things i'm Panama Without Graft.

Richmond Dispatch
The paternalistie activities OF the
United States Government In Panama
is the subject of an article in the
Coming Nation, by Albert Edwards,
a civil engineer. The experiment is
being conducted in the Panama Canal
zone, where more than $4,000 men
are at work in the employment OF the
Government.
Incidental to the digging of the
canal, the Government operates 500
miles Of railway, runs very good no.
tells, mess halls and restaurants, a
big department store, and thirteen
branch stores, provides recreation
and amusement for young and old,
encourages labor unions, has a liber-
al workmen's compensation system,
furnishes medical attendance, makes
ice and delivers it at the door of the
consumer for $500 a ton, and per-
forms a great many other functions
that are in the domain of private en-
terprise in the Staes. All this is
done successfully and with no sus-
picion of graft.
The reason for the absence of graft
on the Isthmus was supplied Mr. Ed
wards by one of the employees. 1t is
due to the answering honesty of
Colonel Goethals, whom every one
calls ''The Old Man" AS the en-
ploye said to Mr.. Edwards:
We'll, say, this is a Government
job--the biggest ever pulled off ON
the foot-stool. Have you seen any
graft running around loose here? |
guess not. The Old Mans -- on
grafters. You can't put anything
over on Goethals, no matter how
small"
To dig the canal and make it go
will have been a mighty accomplish
ment for this nation. To have ex-
pended every dollar honestly and
wisely in the performance of the task
without any rake off, anywhere,
will be great and impressive lesson
for the whole country. Graft ISM
necessary anywhere, any time.

dero, were summarily executed on

cording to refugees who arrived to-
day.
The district has been cleared OF

bandits. The twenty-eight executed
were captured after skirmish, in
which there were a number of casu-
alities on both sides. 1t is said the
Madero troops have been ordered to
put all captured outlaws to death.

adams Letter ia Boston News
Bureau
James Buchanan Duke gets a mil
lion dollars year IN dividends from
his American Tobacco stock. He Is
now spending some Of this money Ia
building a mountain on his couu-
try estate al Somervllle. -. J
Dukes place Is on = level stretch o.
bottom land near the Watching
Mountains. and the view from his
home Is limited. So he Is hauling
in train-loads of earth TO build him
self a mountain and thus arranged
the topography cE his acres 10 suit
his fancy. On top Of the mountain
he Is going 10 build another mansion
II the mountain won't come to- an
American millionaire he can haul II
In.
The Duke fortune is founded on
cigarettes. The original American
Tobacco Company OF 1S90-the year
OF the Antitrust Aet-was a $685.
100000 cigarette trust built on S.
100000 of hard assets. The Dukes
had 80 per cent interest in the cap
italization. They had built up their
business from 100000 a year In
1888 to $4.50O,00O in 1889. and In
the last year they spent 100000
in advertising. 1t was the costly ad-
vertising war in the cigarette trade
that brought the five big cigarette
companies together. They control
led 80 per cent of the country's out
put. Duke has made cigarettes pop
ular in this country. The enormous
increase in the consumption of ciga-
rettes has been the result of his ag-
gressive advertising campaign
AS late as 1870 the annual p3oduc-
ton was less than 100000 ciga-
rettes, or about one for every inhab-
liant. Now it is 7,000,0 100000, or
about eighty times as large per cap
tia. Only within the last five years
the output of cigarettes has doubled.
The profit in manufacturing them is
enormous is the richest end of
the American Tobacco business
When cigarettes were made by hand
the labor in rolling them cost about
about a dollar a thusand. Now ciga-
rettes are made in machines at a
thousand for rolling.

Let us quote from him:
Both parties are playing politics
in the House. The Democrats, al
though they would not admit it, do
not expect to see the farmers free
list pass the Senate. They hope TO
be able to tell the people about the
Republican Senate that would not
help the farmer. Every Democratic
spell-binder will thunder the charge
up and down the land.

hand will charge the Democrats with
being free-traders.
Thousands of campaign brick-bats
are being made in the House. Every
body with the desire is given an OPP

Beach Laundry
Is Re-0pened
New Management, New Machinery,
and Everything to Make 1t One
Of the Best in the State

The machinery in the Beach
Steam Laundry is again humming
merrily under the able manage
ment Of C. "A. Bevier, having re-
opened for business last Monday.
The new manager is practical
laundryman, having spent the
greater part Of his life in that
business, and the citizens of Beach
may rest assured that this city
will henceforth have a laundry
Second to none in the state.
Since coming here about three
weeks ago, Mr.. Bevier has been a
busy man re-arranging the machin-
cry that was in the establishment
when the new company took it over,
and placing new he found neces-
sary to buy in order to successfully
compete with Dickinson and Bis
marck. Among the many new
things added, are a St. Clair shirt
machine, the most complete and
modern of it's kind, a Bishop neck
and wrist ironer, and a new COLLAR
and cuff starcher. The washing
machines and extractor, formerly
in the main part of the building,
have been placed in the rear in a
room set apart for that purpose,
thus making it an easy matter to
keep the clean and dirty clothes
separated. -
Business came pouring in as soon
as the doors were opened, and
at the present time seven people
are given employment.
