Belfast. Me-, Dec. 5.-(SpeciaD.-A
large attendance, considering the
threatening weather of the morning,
marked the regular monthly meeting
of the Waldo County Veterans Asso-
citation. which was held, yesterday, in
the Grange hall, Swanville, by invita-
ton of Comrade A. E. Nickerson of
that town.
Gathering during the morning hours,
from their homes at all points of the
compass, the Veterans with their
wives and families, met in the Grange
hall, and after cordial greetings, sat
about the fire swapping lies as one
of them describes it, smoking and
talking over the years crops, for most
of the veterans are farmers. Special
remarks at this time were made by
Comrades A E. Nickerson and James
Trask of Newburg. At an informal
business meeting held, in the fore

At noon one of the famous Swan
vile dinners was served, the people
of the pretty little village vieing with
each other in their efforts to entertain
and please. Full justice was done to
the spread by the visitors.
In the afternoon, the formal meet
| ing was called to order by the presi-
dent, and opened with music and pray
err Then came the address of well

To this able greeting. a fitting re-

During the informal talk and story
telling which followed, vocal and in
strumental music was interspersed by
Mrs Lufkin, daughter of w. T. Nick
erson, visitor in SWanville, her old
home. Her kindness and sweet voice
were much appreciated and added
greatly to the enjoyment of the visi-
tors.
Some 25 or more veterans were pres
ent and nearly all added word or
story during the hour which followed,
telling of some thrilling experience, es-
cape or adventure in the Civil War.

The First Monotheists.

So far as we are able to discover.
the Egyptian priests were the first
monotheists. There existed in Egypt
two kinds of religious teachingy the
"exoteric" and the "esoteric,' that
for the masses of the people and
that for the select few, the little COM
pany of the wise" The masses were
polytheists, believing in a multitude
of gods, while the few believed only
in one god, OF whom Osiris, head Of
the popular deties, was but a weak
refiection.-New York American.

HOW FIRST JAPANESE CAME.
Storm at Sea Started Tide of Emigra
ton to United States.

The emigration of Japanese to America
began in 1S41 when three japanese fisher
men were blown to sea and drifted to
the Pacific coast, where they resided 10
years One of them nick-named Sam
Patch" accompanied the Peary expedi-
ton.
In 1860 the Shotgun sent an embassy
consisting of II members to the United
described:
ION the 9th of June there was an i'm
mense mass of humanity at the Broad
street depot to catch glimpse of the
ambassadors 1t was estimated that
with numerous visitors who came to the
city from the country the multitude
numbered half million people. The hos
pitality of the citizens was practically
unbounded; indeed during that week
there prevailed a Japanese fever" :"
In 1860 there were probably not half
dozen japanese residing in the United
States.
The first students came in 1866 and
went to Rutgers College. which for many
years was their mecca, and this college
has graduated several hundreds of jap
anese students
In 1887 there were only 1275 Japanese in
the United States The number at pres
ent is about $4,000 here and an equal
number in Hawaii.
1t is said that there are upward of 1000
children in the United States born of
Japanese parents domiciled here and in
Hawaii, who, having been born in the
United States are subject to the juris-
diction thereof and are citizens of the
United States and of the State wherein
they reside.
Japanese children born in the Philip
pines and Porto Rico are not American
citizens and enjoy only a qualified cti-
zenship
Japanese domiciled in Hawaii prior to
August II, 1898, and who had heretofore
become citizens of Hawaii are citizens of
the United States by force Of the act of
Congress on the above date
japanese subjects cannot now purchase
or acquire land in California. and the
land which they now own cannot be
transmitted to their children, even
though the children are American citi-
zens, but must be sold at their death or
else it reverts to the State Proceeds of
such sale and all personal property go
to their heirs.
In New York and in many other States
Japanese can hold real estate and trans
nit it to their heirs.-Japanese Society

LIQUOR DEALERS DIsowN TEARNEY.

Aid. "A" R. Tearneys disregard of the o'clock
closing law condemned by the advisory committee of the
Illinois Liquor Dealers association meeting held yeser
day afternoon in the Schiller building.
The feeling became bitter against the awmaker that
the question raised whether he should be
expelled from the association. This subject was dropped
however, when the meeting informed that Tearney had
been automatically expelled weeks ago
of dues.
Ernst Kunde, president of the Mutual brewery, who is
the head of the state board presided the meeting He did
not mnce words in crticizing Tearney when later
his residence.
"Tearney is disgrace the business" he sad "and
should be punished for violating the law made by the council
of which he is member"
Mr. Kunde said this sentiment expressed by prac-

while these saloonkeepers the real offenders were 60

The Saloon and the Young

The Chicago police believe that they have cap

terrorzing the city for some weeks. The Chicago
papers say that he his capture fondness for
liquor While partially under the influence of liquor
he staggered about several saloons and said he
the chief of the auto bandit gang. Some heard
him. followed him home and gave the police informa-
ton about his conversation and told them where he
could be arrested.
Some might say that the saloon has done the city
of Chicago public service in helping capture this
desperate. But the fact is this is only added
evidence in support of the contention that the Grim
ina is in large majority of product of the
saloon. The saloon is his natural hangout. The thug

however. If Tearney is unfit to be member of

of the city council of the city of Chicago? 1t looks
like contemplate piece of business for organiza-
ton whose Chicago members, actively engaged in the
saloon business are all practically without exception

because he has been made odious in the eyes of the
public. The Association is missing the mark. What
they should expe is Tearneyism rather than Tearney
For instance, how about Brother Cermak? Quite
recently acting in his capacity alderman, he made
mpassioned plea before the council against the
enactment of certain clause of proposed ordinance
which clause provided for the enforcement of all laws
by the police. He against that particular clause
on the ground that it would necesstate the enforce
ment of the saloon regulating ordinances The Liquor
Dealers Association didn't throw any fits over Alder
man Cermak taking this position.
