half of the consuming capacity of this

they are so eager to gain part of Our

der, then, that the business interests are
anxious to know what the policy of our
lawmakers is to be in the near future?
This is all the more important when we
consider the vast amount of money we
are paying out for the Panama canal,
irrigation projects and improvements in
rivers and harbors. Our watch word
should be, American markets for Amer

AN ADMIRALTY CASE,
Chas. E. Bicknell vs., Sch. Doroth

Chas. E. Bicknell vs.. Sch. Dorothy
Saturday in the United States district
court in Portland hearings were held be-
fore Judge Clarence Hale for the taking
OF testimony in the admiralty cases in
which Charles E. Bicknell, a Rockland
contractor and builder, is ibellant
against the schooner Dorothy for SAL
wage, and against the Boston Insurance
Co. for services in raising the schooner
and towing her into RockIand.
The Dorothy sailed from Salem on Nav
2. 1909, for her fishing grounds, and
While lying about six miles off Rockland
on May 5th was struck by steamer and
sank in about 10 fathoms of water. The
schooner was raised by the plaintiff and
towed into Rockland, where he libeled
the craft on claim for salvage.
1t is also claimed that the plaintiff had
been employed by agents of the insur-
ance company to raise the craft and tow
ner into port with a view of saving her
if possible. The craft has since been
sold by the federal officers upon an order
Of court, and brought 1925 at auction.
The plaintiff claims $3.50 as due for SER
vices from the insurance company. The
defendant company admits that.the YES
sci was insured in the company, and that
she was raised and towed into Rockland
by the plaintiff, but that with an under
standing that there was an agreement to
the effect that the bill for services would
come if the vessel was in good condition.
M. A. johnson of Rockland appeared
Tor the plaintiff, and Carver & Bodgett
OF Boston for the defendant company

LONG LIVE THE BEAN,

Did English beef assuage his hunger keen?
Nay sir: the commissariat supplied

Did that Tea Party give the tea the ak
Because they hated brews of black or green?
No; but they'd heard the King designed to tax
The Boston Bean.
What was the food inspired our Emerson?
What stirred Longfellow to "Evangeline?"
The answer cometh, Zone and only one!
1t was the BEAM
What meat hath made our Cabot Lodge as
AS anything that's human and terrene?
All his idolators make haste to state

What kept the early Abolitiopst
Firm in the faith when Southrons ruled the

That person had the gumption to subsist
Upon the Bean.

What nerved the stranger? All, what could it

COLONIAL HOUSES AND THEIR FUR
NISHINGS.

Not long ago there appealed in one of the
, Boston papers sketch concerning the work
of Mary H. Northend of Salem, who has re-
Gently written book entitled Colonial Houses
and their Furnishings" and whose beautiful
designs of Colonial architecture and fur
nishings in different magazines have been OBJ
jects of admiration. From the article men
! toned we quote the following:
"She lives in quaint old-tim house in
Boston Square, Salem-a house very near the
railroad station and the business center of the
city, yet surrounded by an air of old fashioned
peace in the midst of its quiet street. The
broad, low celinged rooms are filled with
beautiful mahogany furniture that is in
tact after generations of use. Colonial
candlesticks of brass, pewter and silver,
stand on the low bays and mantels above
the numerous replaces" And again.
belonging to one of the Oldest Salem
families, Miss Northend has had an exception
al opportunity to obtain photographs and de-
scrptions If Salem art treasures Doors have
swung open for her which would have remain
ed obdurately closed no matter how loudly an
outsider might hammer against them AS
result she has many photographs among her
collection of 10000 which could not be dupli-
Gated by anyone else, and many jtemized &C.
counts of precious Salem carvings or pewter
which nobody else has been allowed to ex-
anime for commercial purposes" We found
the subject matter of this sketch very fasci-
mating, for from our earliest recollection an
old pewter plate or pitcher, a piece of an
cient mahogany furniture, or the interior
of an old Colonial mansion has inspired us
with reverence. Not many days after read
ing the article, and while it was still fresh in
mind, we CHANGED to call upon a Belfast lady
whom we found looking over her collection of
choice photographs. Among them was one
showing the beautiful old fireplace of Co.
spending some time in Salem. Beside the fire.
place was an opening in the wall, large enough
to admit man, which was closed by sliding
panel that could not be detected from the
wainscoting of the wall. She informed US
that the large recess or closet behind the fire.
place had been used as hiding place for fugi-
tive slaves during the Civil War, and that the
slaves were leu through announcer snolng panel
in the wall which communicated with the din
ing room. She mad other things to tell of the
winding staircases in this and other Salem
houses which she had visited, all of which were
deeply interesting. Yet we doubt whether
after all, Belfast has not in her old colonial
mansions, bits of architecture and furnishing
fully as interesting. We recall among many
others the entrance hall of a house on Cedar
street with its graceful winding staircase, and
wonder if Salem boasts more beautiful one;
while the architecture of the various colonial
houses in our city is notably fine and has won
words of admiration from world wide travel
lers.

THE PACKET SCHOONER PALESTINE.
P1rrsFoRp. VI. Nov. 3. 1912.

PITTsFoRD, VI, Nov 8. 1912.
To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: Have
you on your list of sailing packets or coasters
the name of the schooner Palestine, that in the
early SOS of the last century used to coast be-
tween Calais and Eastport and Belfast? She
was commanded by Capt. Wells, whose given
name have forgotten. Her career ended,
think, before 1860. AS small boy made a
memorable trip in her from Calais to Belfast
in 1851
think the home of Capt Wells was in BEL
fast.
l would be glad to know more of the fate of
the old craft and of the latter part of the ca
reer of her captain. who was SO religious that
he used to have prayers in the cabin every
morning.
With kindest regards,
Sincerely,
j. E. c. SAWYER
The schooner Palestine of 512 tons was
quit IN Belfast in 1e43 by Capt. Nathaniel
wells for the packet service between Belfast
and Calais touching at intermediate ports. Be-
lore that he had run the sloop Spy in the same
business. Wlllamson's History says: "1n 1929
the Helen from Eastport with AZ passengers is
reported. For many years the soop Spy,
capt. Nathaniel Wells, and the schooners
racket and Edna, Capt. Paol Hewes, ran ex-
ciuslvely between here and the latter place"
Later capt Nathaniel Wells gave over the
command of the schooner Palestine to his old
est son William. and it was with him no doubt
mat Mr.. Sawyer made the voyage. His sur
wing brother, George G. Wells of this city,
says OF him that che was an Orthodox and
would not sail on Sundays" There is no means

later Capt. VIM. Wells went to New York and
bought for the packet service the North River
sloop Lady Adams. These were noted crafts in
