NAMES FLEET OF COASTERS
is Gradually Disappearing-What il
Left for Them TO Do

Slowly the old-time queens OF the
ooasting fleet are disappearing. Each
year sees their numbers grow less
and the question comes what will
take their place. BY these old tim
ers is meant the small fore and af
tiers, two stickers, schooner rugged
with a carrying capacity of $50 to
200 tons of coal and 10000 feet Of
lumber, as we'll as the small three
masted schooners, the first of their
kind, whose maximum carrying load
was a net tonnage of 300 to 400 tons.
Today the few of these types afioat
especially the two-masters find plen-
ty to do, though their earnings are
not what they used to be. They car
ry coal to the small cities and towns
where the big four, five and six-mast-
ed schooners and the big barges can
not go. because of one of two reasons,
Either there isn't water sufficient TO
float the modern big carriers or else
the demand there isn't sufficient to
[ warrant their being chartered for
those places.
Others of the feet are engaged
along the Maine coast in what is
known as the bay coaster fleet This
applies almost entirely to this river
the Penobscot and bay. They carry
lumber from Bangor to the bay ports
Vinal Haven, Bluehill and those pla.
ces. On their return they bring paw
ing blocks.
When they are gone something
must take their places, for those
towns will have to have lumber then
as now None OF these small vessels
is being built; none has been fol-
years. Practically speaking there
hasn't been schooner of this type
launched from a Maine yard since
1880, or In the past 81 years. To g
very large extent this is true of every
state along the Atlantic coast.
The present day big schooners Of
the Edwin B. Winslow, the Wells anC
other Of the four, five and six.mastet
carriers are not suited to the lum
bercarrying trade OF the Sound, Of
the Boston and New York trade
They carry too much. This means
that something must be devised I,

to Go Out on a Strike
Superintendent Stewart is Asking for
Funds So He May Pay
Them More.

Teachers at the Institute for the Dear
are threatening to go on a strike or leave
unless more pay is provided by the present
legislature AS the matter now stands the
women teachers get a maximum of SO a
month for nine months in the year. and
two men teachers get Sl25.
Superintendent r. e. Stewart has sub
mitted his report to the ways and means
committee of the legislature, setting forth
his needs and showing that more funds
are required to run the institution. He
says In his report that he Is severely
hampered in his work by lack of funds, but
Sal 900 being appropriated for two years.
He recites that the institution has from ls5
to 1870 pupils and with this number there is
sure TO be considerable sickness for which
he has no funds by which he may care for
them But recently there was case of
contagious disease which required trained
nurse for two weeks for which service
there is no money provided
Mr. Stewart recites that In Missouri
where they have but 12s more patients than
at the Nebraska institution, they have
about $i45,0OO for the two years.
Mr. Stewart also says that he will urge
the appropriation of more money SO the
teachers may be paid more, as 1t is abso-
lutely necessary in order to keep them.

Wade woman, where he had spent the
three days previous. She gave the lunch
to the children and with her sister went to
the boarding house where Mrs. Wade

VIII Power Alone Will Not stop the
Excessive Use of Liquor.
The temperance advocate and total
abstainer are strong in their declars-
ton that drunkenness is a mean. low
and disgraceful habit, from which any
ordinary person can free himself by
the exercise of his will power alone.
Medical men. by patient research,
have demonstrated that drunkenness
is poisoning and that the drunkard
is one in need of medical attention.
The disease OF alcoholism can surely
be cured, thanks to the Neal treat
ment, which has demonstrated that II
is an lnfallible remedy striking at once
at the roots OF the trouble. There has
always been a demand for the treat
ment for habItual drunkenness which
can be administered internally, with
out the use of dangerous hypodermic
injections.
Experience has taught that no treat
ment other than the Neal Cure has
ever been successful in treating drunk
enness in less than four weeks time.
1t makes no difference how long a
man has been drinking. how much or
how little he drinks, or what he drinks,
the Neal treatment has never failed
to cure in three days time. and with
out the use OF that devillsh little tor
mentor of the flesh, the hypodermic
syringe. Just bear in mind that there
is no such thing as secret cure" for
drunkenness, and you are taking great
risk in administering these remedies.

Witness in DOnahue
Custer Case is Put
on the Defensive
Hearing Adjourned Thursday Until
February 20-Books Are Still
Ruled Out.

The cross-eNamination Of Mrs r. A. Nc
CullOugh. who was placed on the stand
for direct examination Wednesday after
noon, featured the custer hearing proceed
ings against Chief Donahue Wednesday
morning. Attorney Connell for the defense
put Mrs. Mccullough through a gruelling
which she will remember for some time.
on DISCRIMINATION Mrs. Mccullough
testified that her house. when she lived
at 1928 Capitol avenue had been raided by
the police. and nine men. among whom
were many professional thieves and pick
pockets. had been arrested. 1t also devel-
oped that an opium layout had been found
in the house. Mrs. Mccullough testified
that she did not know what the men we're
doing in her house or what the opium lay
out was for
II was also developed that she moved
from the house on request OF the proba-
ton officer
During the cross-examination OF Mrs.
Mccullough Attorney Mullen for the state
objected to the presence Of Detective Don
hoe behind Attorney Connell and his
promptings to the attorney. Referee Evans
overruled the objection. and refused to
order the detective to move to the part Of
the room reserved for spectators.
The state again attempted to prove that
Nels Pearson, a driver for William ].
Boekhoff, was out Of the jurisdiction Of
the court. p. J. Storz, brother-in-law of
Pearson, testified that Pearson had left
the city and gone to California. But Ref
cree Evans held this insufficient for the
presentation Of certain books belonging to
Boekhoff. which the state wants admitted
to evidence.
Referee Evans told the states attorney
that he would give until February 20 10
establish the point that Pearson was per
manently without the jurisdiction Of the
court. If they failed to produce him he
would then make another ruling.
Charles Gernandt, who delivered beer for
Boekhoff during the fall of 1909. was again
placed on the stand Through his identi-
fication Of pages in Boekhoffs books the
state was permitted to get the records OF
beer sales for certain days in the fall OF
1903 into the record. These pages included
the delivery of beer to many houses in the
red light district.
