It remained for Robert l..

Mr. Fryer in a letter to the chairman or the House Committee, flaty refuses to iivu!ge anything that will dis close relations betweenI his bank aud it's patrons and he puts it up to the committee to demand such ;nforma- tion, if it is desired.
 Mir. Fryer takes the right stani. He holds that the siate banking laws of the various conlmcnwealths are sufficient to protect depasi1eTs ami others doing business wi;h banlir g institutions and he questions tfc authority of the, National govern ment to demand reports of the pri- v3te business of banks and especially when it would have them violate tEe confidence of it's patrons. He takes a fall cut of Colonel Rocsayelt's New Nationalism and severely crit else 5 the Democrats in Congress for al, proving a Republican plan to further his political ambition. MT. Fryef S r.

state loyalty, in one capacity or an
other since reaching manhood. When
he was boy of % he enlisted as a pri-
waite in the 2sd Maine Regiment. At
the expiration, in 1863, of his term of
service, he re-enlisted in the Both Reg

few months later was commissioned
first lieutenant. He continued in the
army, in active service until Lees sur

Department of the Gulf and stationed

PIouqhinq With Dynamite.

Farming with dynamite, says a writer
in the Strand, has grasped the united
States and is spreading throughout Cana
da and Mexico like a prairie fire. The
farmers who have tried it swear by it,
and are upheld by the leading authori-
ties in agricultural science. 1t seems
strange way of making the ground
bring forth its produce in plenty, but
there is no getting away from the fact
that ii acts
The explosive force of dynamite when
1t is fired is eXerted for the most part
downward If a pound of this explosive
is laid upon the ground and detonated
1t will tear big hole on the spot where
it was lying. In every case where a
huge charge of dynamite has gone off
unexpectedly, huge pit is dug. Conse-
quently, when dynamite cartridges are
sunk into the soil and the hole above
the stick is filled with rammed earth or
tamped," as it is called, so that the
shot cannot blow out harmlessly, the
force of the explosion is exerted down
wards, disintegrating the earth in all
directions to a depth of five or six feet.
the gases eventually finding vent in the
air through the crevices the blast has
made through the subsoil.
When news of this method of breaking
up the ground first leaked out it was re-
ceived with considerable derision among
the skeptical. but the agricultural spec
ialist realized that there was method in
the backwoodsman's apparent madness.
The experimental farmers tested the
matter for themselves and found that
there was a decided difference in a plot
of ground, one-half of which had been
blasted and the other ploughed in the
usual manner when sown with seed from
one harvest. The blasted ground was
found to produce crops running from 30
per cent upwards in superiority and
yield.
This clinched the argument in favor
of dynamite farming, but then another
difficulty arose Dynamite is a peculiar
tool with which to pursue agricultural
operations. 1t must be handled in a
certain manner, must not be subjected
| to violent extremes of temperature,
| freezes quickly; in fact, was just the
implement which the average farmer
| should not use unless the death-rate was
| to be sent up.
| Contemporaneously with the expert
ments of the Governmental agricultural
| experimenters, the chemists in the Will
mington laboratories of the f. /. Dupont
! de Nemours Powder Company were
| hard at work. The dynamite which the
ordinary blaster used for removing
| rocks to admit of the building of rail-
ways, harbors. and other works was all
very well but it demanded the services
of an accomplished hand. Accordingly

Making a Chance in life.

While many middle-aged men are
| bemoaning their littleness because they
never had chance" a little 23-year-
old matron of Chicago has gone out in
to the world and created chance.
Mrs Laura C. Hammond, who now
confesses to 10 years welded bliss, has
just graduated from Englewood High
school after three years course. In
short skirts, hair down her back and
with sensibly cared for complexion and
figure, she easily passed for IS.
Il wanted to be something" said she,
"and six years ago l started at the
grammar school and from there went
to the high school. l did pose as a
Miss as | thought it would be better.
The girls all took me to be is years
old and / made many friends among
them. / will go to the Unworthy of
Chicago, my ambition being a prac-
tice law
If this little woman never attains her
goal she will have been better and
happier for having done her best and
those who come in contact with that
sort Of courage and spirit win have
benefited thereby. Whether or not This
Is, as claimed, the age of woman, it is
certainly the age when spunk in man
or woman counts. 1t requires genius as
we'll as courage for woman approach
ing middle age TO pass herself off as
girl. This womans unique experience
is as much a tribute to modern ciSili-
zation as to her own admirable desire
for education. Under modern condi-
tions women do not grow old 50 rapid
~ as they formerly did. They keep
their hats in the ring of youth with a
disregard of the sacred traditions of
their sradmothers as charming as it is
startling II is no unusual thing now
adays for mother and daughter to be
taken for sisters.
Women are taking better care of
themselves physically, for one thing,
than tney ever ala before, the auNeht
of the trustmade prepared foods and
labor saving devices has relieved them
largely of the drudgery of household
work which has crushed woman for
ages, and they do not burden them
selves with large families which We're
characteristic of our forebears. Wheth-
er this latter fact be one of good or
i'll omen for humanity is debatable,
but whatever its evil effects may be.
certainly it cannot be denied that it
has at least served to assist woman in
her emancipation.

Soldiers, Civilian, Public Official.

iiOIildttu sunday ItleRfan.)
Probably the death of no citizen of
Portland would be more sincerely lament
ed throughout the whole State than that
of Henry Bradstreet Cleaves, the brave
soldier. loyal civilian and honest and
capable public official. Two temptations
constantly confront the man of affairs in
his relations TO state and city. He is al
ways inclined to think that he hasn't
time to give to public duties and he is
apt to feel in certain matters of public
policy that personal considerations must
outweigh those of the community. That
is why the life of such man as Henry
Il. Cleaves is of particular moment to
State and city. Mr.. Cleaves was busy
man. But he was always ready from
his earliest days to take a hand in any
thing that needed to be done for the
public welfare. In all his business and
political relations Mr. Cleaves gained the
reputation of being thoroughly public
spirited, fair and conscientious He be-
longed to that class of men who find it
impossible to go contrary to their hon
est convictions. Every good cause found
in him a supporter, and he was always
on the side of political decency and pro-
gress. He was quiet and unobtrusive In
manner and welded a strong influence
in the community-an influence that will
live in the impression his life made or
the State and city, and particularly on
the younger men with whom he came in
contact His military honors We're won
on the battlefield where he distinguished
himself for bravery and efficiency and he
leaves behind glorious war record. Ii

a Lewiston man who attended the

'The recount disclosed interesting and

five votes come from? In Ward Three

seven ballots marged for these candi

that some twenty-seven voters with

box without interruption by any other
idea. The official count would indi-
cate that this bunch of ballots had
been overlooked election day only to
be discovered on the night of the re-
count. gross carelessness ON the part
of the official counters. Two of the
candidates for the Legislature on the
Democratic ticket apparently had very
nervous supporters. Whereas the
crosses for the other candidates would
be made by a firm hand, it frequently
happened that uponR the same ballot
would appear an entirely different
kind of cross for one or both these
candidates. Just the cause for this
difference in marking of course no one
knows, but then. it is just as hard to
understand how the bunch of identi-
cally marked ballots escaped inspec-
