Lewiston, Me-, Aug s.-The state Of
Maine lost its senior United States
senator when William Pierce Frye died
late yesterday at the home Of his
daughter. Mrs. Helen White. in this
city. The end came at 1855 p. m. At
his bedside were Mrs. White and his
other daughter, Mrs. Alice Briggs, who
also resides in Lewiston. Altho he had
been Ill for long time, death came
suddenly.
Forced by the condition Of his health
to resign his position as president pro
tempore Of the senate at the beginning
OF the present special session Of con-
gress, altho he retained his member
ship in the senate. Senator Frye soon
afterward made his last journey to the
city which has always been his home.
For several weeks his condition was
not considered necessarily dangerous.
A general breakdown, due to age and
his extremely arduous career, is as
cribed by Senator Frye's physicians as
the cause OF death.
Senator Frye took decided stand
against Senator Lorimer. but on ac-
count Of his physical condition took no
active part in the proceedings.
The death Of Senator Frye means a
loss Of one senator to the republicans.
the Maine legislature being democratic.
Patriarch Of Congress.
Senator Frye was one Of the patri-
archs Of the United States congress.
He entered its halls first as a member
Of the lower house in 1871 and served
there until 1880, when the resignation
Of James G. Blaine enabled him to
become member Of the senate. He
had been in the senate continuously up
to the time Of his death.
He was the son Of Colonel John NJ.
Frye, Of Lewiston. Me-. and his grand
father was General Joseph Frye, who
made himself famous by his defense of
Lewiston in the revolutionary war. He
was born Sept. 2, 1881.
Mr.. Frye attended the schools of
Lewiston and then entered Bowdoin
College, from which he was graduated
in 1850. He then entered upon the
study Of law In the office of William
Pitt Fessenden. He began his profess
sional career in Rockland. but soon
moved back to Lewiston, where he rap
idly built up practice.

the state in 1867, after having served in
the legislatures OF 1861, 1862 and 1867

statsheed Bill P...sd.

Washington, Aug 9.-The bill grant,
ing statehood to New Mexico and Ari-
Zona, legislation that has been for
many years the dream Of the people OF
both territories, was passed by the SEN
ate last night. SO to IS, after the re-
lection of the Nelson amendment which
proposed striking out of the Arizona
constitution its judiciary recall provis-
ion.
The bill as passed by the senate diff
fers only slightly from the house meas
ure, and, it Is said, may be unsatisfac-
tory to President Taft. He has con-
tended all along tina. he would be glad
to sign the statehood bill il the Nelson
amendment prevailed, but that 1t was
grave question whether he would be
willing to sign it if the amendment
was defeated. as 1t was by 43 to 20. The
indications last night are that the bin
will become a law without his sigma
ture
The senate amended the house bill
with two minor changes regarding the
manner Of voting in New Mexico on
proposed amendments to its constitu-
tion These undoubtedly will be agreed
to by the house and the bill expedited
to the White House. These amend
ments were reported by the senate
committee on territories and agreed to
without debate.
Practically all of the debate on the
bill centered around the Nelson amend
ment Even some senators who de-
clared their opposition to the recall Of
judges voted against the amendment
on the ground that If the people Of
Arizona desired recall as part of their
rP n for them
and not for congress to say whether
they should have 1t.
The bill as passed compels Arizona
as condition precedent to entry into
the union. to submit the recall propo-
sition to the voters for final decision
as to whether it shall remain in their
constitution. New Mexico must vote
on proposition embodied in the bill
which would make the constitution Of
the state easier Of amendment
The test vote came on the Nelson
amendment. which was lost.
After this had been defeated 1t was
thought the bill would be adopted with
ou: division hut Senator Bailey called
for the ayes and nays. Senators Brad
ley and OGorman voted for the Nelson
amendment Then these two members
with Senator Bailey voted against the
final passage Of the measure. as did
two progressive republicans. Senators
Bristow Of Kansas and Kenyon of
Iowa.
The others who voted against the ad-
mission OF the territories were Senators
Brandegee of Connecticut. Burnham OF
New Hampshire. Crane of Massachu-
sets, Curtis Of Kansas. Dillingham; OF
Vermont, Hepburn Of Idaho. Lippitt
and Wetmore Of Rhode Island. Nelson
OF Minnesota. Oliver and Penrose of

FIRE ON A STEAMBOAT.
Mysterious Fire Discovered on the
Steamer Queen Anne at Late
Hour Last Night.

Fire OF unknown origin discovered was
in the after part OF the steamer Queen
Anne last night at the foot OF NJ street
southwest Washington. Tile fortunate
discovery,of the fire before it had gain
ed great headWay, and the rapid work
of the freboat prevented the total dis
truction of the steamer. Investigation
disclosed that the blaze started IN the
galley under the rear cabin OF the
vessel. This section OF the boat was
smouldering when the 6remen reached
the scene. No flames were visible, the
are evidently not having any draft.
Though no definite estimate can De
made OF the damage done by the fire
and water, it is thought that the
loss will be $4,000. This is the second
mysterious FIRE on steamboats, that has
occurred in Washington during the
past mouth. The first resulted in the
destruction OF the River Queen.

A Wise Provision.

Did you ever notice when q man
smiteS his thumb with n hammer while
putting down q carpet under his wife's
supervision how quickly he thrusts the
bruised and throbbing member into his
mouth? People think it is because the
application is soothing. But the move
ment is purely inyoiuntarily. like wink
ing. The man cannot help it. The
fact is that nature knows what man
is apt to say under such circumstances
and so has provided him with an auto
matte stopper. Whenever he hits his
thumb hard enough to hurt-and it
doesn't take very hard blow almost
to kill a man when he is doing some
thing he doesn't like to do-by sort
Of interlockinS system his thumb flies
into his mouth, and for the critical
moment speech is cut of.

mr.. CARPENTER IN PARIS.
Alexandra Pastor Says His Own
City is More Sanitary than
French Capital.

Rev. Edgar Carpenter, pastor Oh
Grace Church, Alexandria, one OF The
Washington Posts tourists, in writing
from Paris says:
'The Washington Post party arrived
here at midnight of August /, after an
all -day trip from Interlaken, the most
restful and beautiful place in the trip
thus far. There was hurried lunch
in Berne, in which there were some
amusing incidents.
'The speed OF the railway carriage
was so great that it was like rocking on
the ocean, due to the effort on the part
of the engineer OF the train to make up
lost time. A further feature of the
ride was the fact that the road was not
as steady as our American roads. We
arrived in Paris about on time. Paris
has no skyscrapers, but many beauti-
full buildings we're shown the next
morning by the special guide.
Our impression was that Washing
ton and Alexandria, Va, are much
much more sanitary cities than Paris,
and from the point Of cleanliness Ber-
lin made more favorable impression
upon our party. These early impress
sions of Paris we're somewhat dissipa-
ted, however, after we had mounted to
the top of Eiffel Tower. From that
point ne were able to attain a better
idea OF the magnitude of the place and
the impossibility OF keeping it always
spick and span.
Al Iris time 81 tue year a great
many Pari>ians are absent from the
city, but their places are taken by the
large number OF tourists, the greatest
number OF whom seem to be Ameri
cans.
Oar next point of interest will be
London, and we are looking foEEard
eagerly ta cir canteMplaEed visit to
the English metropolis, where We will
be able to converse more frequently in
our own language and see some OF the
things which has tended to make the
English nation great"
