agreement yesterday came at the end
OF a series of conferences, aud practi-
cally clear the legislative ways for ell
OF the pending legislation except Cana
dian reciprocity and the tariff board
Hill. This does not obviate the neces-
sity for an extra session of Congress,
but it probably assures the passage OF
all the general appropriation bills at
this session.
The Senate agreed to make the tariff
board bill the unfinished business by q
vote of SO to 81.
In the course Of the day speeches
were made by Senator Stone, of Mis-
sour, in opposition to Lorimer, Senator
Bristow, OF Kansas, and Senators Lafe
Young and AISLE Gronna in opposition to
Canadian reciprocity.

sions the remainder of the week, and
expressed the hope that four of the
appropriation bills would be passed to-
day.
The president transmitted to the
Senate certain information from the
tariff board called for by the Cummins
resolution.
The House passed the STEVENSON
bill proving compression for officers
and men in National Guard organiza-
tions.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate Senator Cores charges Of at
tempted bribery in the Indian land
cases made its final report to the

that Hamon was acting without the
knowledge Of McMurry.
The constitution CT New Mexico
was approved by the committee on
Territories.
For the third time the House sent
back to conference The In;liau ap-
preparation bill. The allowance Of

The special committee OF the House,
appointed last summer to investigate
Senator Cores charges OF attempted
bribery in connection with J. W.
McMurray's Indian attorney contracts
in Oklahoma, made its final report in
the House lat night, A majority OF
the committee finds that Jake L.
Hamon actually did, about May 8,
1910, make az improper proposal to
Senator Gore respecting the McMurray
contracts, and that about June Is,
1910, he approached Representative
Charles T, Creagsr with an improper
proposal on the same subject. The

to show that Hamon was acting by
authority or with the consent or know

Base Ball.

NORWAY Il. 8. 5; PARIS H. 8. 8.
Paris High School for the second time
this season lost to Norway High School
at the Paris High School grounds We'd
nesday afternoon. Score 5 to 8. Four
OF Norway's five scores were made In the
eighth inning, when they got to hitting
Lowell, and aided by Paris errors were
able to keep things moving fast for some
time. Paris also did good bunch OF
hitting In the ninth, but could get In
only two men.
The game was interrupted by two or
three protests, the only one which was
prolonged being at the end of the sixth
inning. Dunham of Paris was on third
when f1y catch was made IN left field,
and the ball went to second and caught
the runner who had started for third be-
fore the fly was caught. This made the
third out. Durham meanwhile had left
third base as soon as the fly was caught,
and it was claimed by Paris that he
crossed the plate before the third out
was made at second base, but the score
was not allowed.
The spectacular play of the game was
long throw by Dunham OF Norway
from the field home, catching the Paris
runner at the plate.
A special car brought load Of lively
rooters from Norway, and in the evening,
with drums and horns, the Norway boys
paraded the streets of the two villages.
They took along their white elephant,
and made quite noise. In South Faris
they encountered more or less hen fruit
and other projectiles not so soft, but got
their elephant safely home without any
thing worse than the eggs being broken
There was q chance for scrap out Of the
affair, but nothing serious happened.

Union Temperance Meeting.

Under the auspices Of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, a union
temperance meeting, in which all the
churches joined, was held in the Baptist
church Sunday evening. The body of
the church was filed to It's full capacity,
and large chorus of school children
occupied seats in the front of the room
facing the audience.
The meeting was to have been address
ed by Mrs. Cora <. Seberry of New
York, national lecturer for the W. g.
T. u, but she had been recalled to her
home in New York by serious illness in
her family, and in her absence the
pastors of the several churches made re-
marks.
Rev. T. N. Kewley spoke particularly
of the relation of the church to the tenn
perance question, and said that because
the church must always be opposed to
anything that tends to lower the morals
of the community, it must be opposed to
the liquor business, and on tho side OF
prohibition.
Rev. A. T. McWhorter made some
good temperance points by relating
things he had observed in Ireland and
elsewhere. They tell US, said he, that
they are going to make the saloon re-
spectacle. They can't do it. It's i'm
possible. May God stir Us up, and bring
every man to the ballot boz on the
eleventh Of September.
Rev. C. G.. Miller told the children to
ask their fathers to vote for prohibition
in September-to keep asking them and
not let them forget 1t for a day. This is
an age of Christian consciousness, he
said, and the time is fast coming when
men and women are going TO realize as
never before the evils of liquor drinking.
Rev. E. A. Davis contrasted conditions
In Burlington, VT, under prohibition
and under license, as they had come un-
der his own observation In his residence
there and had been described to him by
citizens of the place. The illegal sale oi
liquor was not stopped by licensing a
certain number Of saloons, but continued
in spite of IL. He showed the advantage
of having prohibition in the constitution
instead of having to fight for 1t at every
election.
Besides the speaking, other numbers
on tho program were devotional services
q solo by Miss 8. NJ. Wheeler, q solo By
Mrs. Wilson with violin accompaniment
and several songs by the chorus OF schoo
children, under the direction OF Mis-
Gordon, the supervisor of music 10 th'
schools. Mrs. Burnham was at the or
gan. The offering was omitted, o
rather postponed until some later meet
ing, of which a number will probably b
held.

Supreme judicial Court.
ONLY ONE CIVIL CASE IN A SHORT TERM.

There was little in the line Of trial
work to occupy the attention Of the May
term OF Supreme judicial Court for Ok
ford County, which opened at RumfOrd
Tuesday, and II 1t had not been for the
criminal business put over from the
March term, adjournment would have
been reached by the last OF the week.
The Jurors were summoned to appear
at II A. M. Wednesday, the time until
then being occupied with organization
and other matters. OF the trial list made
ont, only two cases were assigned for
actual trial, and of these only one was
tried.
This was the case Of Charles Klowas
vs. G. n. Bisbee and E. NJ. McCarty.
The parties are all of Rumford, the plain
tiff being Lithuanian, workman in
the International paper mill, and defend
ants two well.known physicians in part
nership in that town. On the 10Th Of
February, 1909, Klowas while at work In
the mill sustained fracture OF the leg.
He was attended by the defendants, and
this suit was brought for damages on the
ground that the fracture was not proper
" reduced and cared for. Three months
later the bone was reset by DR.. Nile.
The testimony of the plaintiff and
other Lithuanians, taken through an in
terpreter, was very slow. Among experts
called to testify were Drs. Scudder, King
and Tobie of Portland.
Counsel for plaintiff were W. a. Jud-
kins of Lewiston and George A. Hutch
ius OF Rumford; for the defence, Col.
George D. Bisbee and Judge Matthew
Mccarthy of Rumford.
The case went to the jury Friday
morning.
A verdict for the defendants was re-
turned.
Following this case criminal business
was taken mp, the first case on that
docket to be tried being that against
Warren Spencer, commorant OF Rum
ford, for keeping and depositing liquors
intended for illegal sale. County At
torney Parker for state, Blanchard for
defendant. Verdict, not guilty.
The next trial was that of Charles
Stasulis, alias Mike Bennett, of Rumford,
on the charge of nuisance. Stasulis is a
Pole.
The trial of George d. seavey OF
Bethel on the charge of rape will not be
lengthy.
Divorce cases were assigned for Mon.
day, and it is expected that the court
will adjourn finally Tuesday afternoon

have been fortunate myself in that
was born and reared in the State OF
Maine, where prohibition has obtained
for half century. It IL difficult to for
bid liqur.selling wholly, as 1t Is dificnlt
wholly to enforce the law against larceny
or vagranoy; but there is no spirituous OF
malt liquor made In Maine, and, more
important, drinking is not a part Of the
social life Of the people-liquor does not
appear at state banquets nor on the fam
lily table. Citizens who themselves have
no scruples about drinking are yet un-
willing to violate the law of their state
in securing liquor. These things are, of
course, q great gain; generation after
generation Is brought up who do not
know liquor, do not heed 1t. 1t is no
virtue in such that they do not drink
they have been fortunate, say, in not
being schooled to alcohol; 1t is not a
part of their life, they do not miss 1t, and
they escape Its perils. I recall the hor-
TOR with which, as boy of seventeen on
visit to . neighboring state, 1 first saw
signs advertising strong drink, and
drlnk1ng enOp8 IN operation VIII cousout
of law. have seen what an advantage
1t is personally not to be dependent on
alcoholic drinks-to be able to 60 about
ones business without the expense, the
inconvenience, the risks OF drinking; and
I have seen the advantage OF social life
In which wine, whisky and all the rest
are not only not needed but not even
thought of. For these reasons / must
be interested in the question; also l
must do my part in leading mon to think
about it. 1t is not necessary to reiterate
the evils Of drink. We will not stop for
those who do not observe them, and who
will not read to know that alc0hol.poi-
soning is the major peril of the age In
which we live. 1t is entrenched not only
in profits, as was slavery, but also In
appetite, and yields very slowly to at
tack. But it Is being forced home that
nations may be wrecked to-day az in the
past by alcohol; that while Its reckless
use continues man can never come to bis
full stature, and the vision OF q higher
humanity can never be fulfilled.
