A Dedham correspondent writes the
Bangor News: Mrs. Nancy BurrilI,
an aged lady of this town, fell down
the cellar stairs at her home Friday
night and dislocated her left shoulder
About IL o'clock, thinking she smelled
smoke. she got up without lighting
her lamp, and went into the dining
room to investigate, and on going
back mistook the cellar door for the
room door and fell with the above re-
suit. DR.. Jackson of Eddington was
called to attend her and she is as COM
Portable as can be expected. Mrs.
Burrill had the misfortune to dislo-
cate her right shoulder some years
ago in the same manner as this was
done. 1t is hoped by her many
friends that she will have a speedy re-
eovery" Well. isn't it hoped that she
won't try that smoke hunting stunt

WHAT OF CONSERVATION?

, Whenever the conservation shoe be-
|, gins to pinch any community. there
is an outcry and rcmonstrance. In
general, the Eastern newspapers and
people like TO think of conservation
as great public benefit as long as
conservation is confined to the West
and does not affect them; but when
it begins to bo applied at home. then
the human nature Of the Western re.
moDstrance against conservation ap.
! peals to them, aud they set up an out
cry on their own account.
AS an instance Of this we note in n
Boston paper letter from DR.. Hcr
bert Mcintosh in remonstrauce against
conservation that costs him person
ally some money. The pinch is the
way that the anthracite coal combine
In Pennsylvania Ia doing out the culm
and slate-permeated refuse Of the coal
mines In order to clean up everything
rather than to opon fresh veins Of
ceal or to choose the best Of tho coal
deposits already opened. Or, McIn-
tosh wants the clear coal and he wants
plenty of it. He declares that he does
"not believe the American people will
long tolerate condition in which the
vast stores Of coal locked up in the AN.
thracite mines Of Pennsylvania are
rendered inaccessible to public uso, or
that they will long permit incompe.

other to mismanage what is essentially

whole Nation. -
The people Of the West have been
saying something like this with regard !
to coal, timber, and various Of the nat
ural riches in all this country which |
they desire to utilize; but we havo |
conservationists who raise an outcry at |
the eacrilege Of cutting down a tree on
the public domain, opening new coal |
mine, or utilizing water power. Tt
ls held that all that sort Of thing
should be left for some indefinite pos,
terlty, and that the pioneer generation
Or the generation succeeding the pio-
neers, in all this Western country,
must keep hands off.
1t is Joy to see. therefore, that this
same conservation limitation, applied

states, and We rejoice at DR., McIn-

THE HONEST POLITICIAN.

Mr.. David II. Lane, an old style poIi.
tician of Pennsylvania, n friend Of
Cameron, of Quay, and OF other ia.
nous oldtime statesmen. who wero in
their times so much honored. thinks
that politicians are misrepresented on
the point of their honesty and char
actcr. Speaking from the observations
of fifty years, Mr., Lane says: ''I as.
sert that there is less percentage Of
dishonesty among politicians than any
other group Of people,
While ono can fairly admit what Mr.,
Lane says with respect to the poll
ticians of ability and fame in the past,
it can hardly be admitted that the
prcscnt-day politician can fairly come
