A "UNo" INVESTIGATION.
Lewiston Dealers Must Use the Prop
err Labels.

Lewiston, Me, Dec. 4.-Uno beer by
any other name may taste as good but
the pure food department of this State
insists that the stock labels of beers
and ales are not to be plastered onto
the bottles that do not contain other
than the bona fide article.
Many places in Lewiston which have
been doing 'Uno" business and using
labels of various popular brands of
ales and beers on the bottles were Wis
tied by the deputy sheriffs. Wednes-
day afternoon, in accordance with in
structions sent out from the head of
the department at Orono, where the
sample will be sent fer analysis.
The visit OF Dr. Charles H. Woods,
the head of the experiment station at
the u. of M, to Lewiston, this week,
Rad nothing to do with the collection
of samples. the instructions going
through the local investigator, Arthur
D. Andrews CT Auburn.
The labels objected to are a fac-sim-
lie of the standard with the excep-
ton of the word style" in fine letters
on the bottom. While this would not
be identical the courts have held it to
be a Misrepresentation of fact. When
the bottles are labelled in such man
ner the officers see. no way out but con-
viction for if the contents is real,
there is violation of the liquor law and
if not real it is one of the pure food
law.
1t was not necessary for warrants
to be procured TO obtain the samples.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealing in All

New York, Dec. AFTER a day of con-
Trajectory movements, the stock market
closed with the favorite shares showing
irregular changes of insignificant proper
tons. In the forenoon prices eased OFF
slightly. Later there was a general ad-
vance in which yesterdays top figures
were eclipscd. IN the final trading the
market once more reversed itself in
quick reaction which forced some of the
leaders below the preceding days close.

prices late in the day was caused by

Fight All Night to
Ward off Death.

Dexter, Me-, Dec 4.-Dr. Wilbur A.
Bumps and Cleveland G. Davis, who
have just returned from a hunting
trip in the vicinity of Foss pond in
Kingsbury, were engaged in an all
night struggle against death, last Sat
urday, when they found themselves in
the woods several miles from camp,
when darkness came on. A snowstorm
was raging and the two hunters were
hard put to it to keep from freezing
to death before daylight came and they
were able to find their way back to
camp.
DIR. Bumps and Mr.. Davis, both of
whom are experienced hunters and
woodsmen, passed the greater part of
Saturday in travelling through the
woods near Foss pond in search of
game. They failed to notice that the
sun was getting low and, when dark
ness came, they found themselves still
several miles from camp. So thick
was the underground that it was i'm
possible to make progress through the
woods in the darkness, even had they
been able to tell in which direction to
travel. After discussing the matter for
moment or two, they decided that
there was nothing to be done save to
remain where they were until day
light.
The couple had matches and, by dint
of effort, they managed to secure a
small quantity of dry wood and to
start a feeble blaze. It grew bitter
ly cold after the sun went down and,
to add to their discomfort, a snow
storm commenced raging. Unable to
keep warm from the campfire, DR..
Bumps and Mr.. Davis started to run
| about it in an effort to keep their
blood in circulation and to shake off
| the drowsiness which seemed in dan
ger of overpowering them. Around and
around the fire the two hunters ran,
their pace being an easy jog trot which
| they were able to keep up for hours.
despite their fatigue. Occasionally
they would stop and pile more wood
on the fire and rest for few moments
before beginning their run once more.
| At length the first faint peep of
dawn appeared in the eastern sky. AS
soon as it was sufficiently light for
them to see to travel, they started off
| through the woods toward camp,
which they finally reached, benumbed
and exhausted. 1t is an experience
which neither of them care to repeat
| in the near future.
DR.. Bumps and Mr.. Davis passed 10
days on their trip and brought back a
fine doe. They also shot a large buck
which they were obliged to leave hang
| ing in the woods as they were unable
to get him out in time to return to
their homes, Wednesday.

BELFAST.
Boston Firm to Build Cot
tages for Rent.
Young Belfast Boy Has anAm-
aieuf Wireless Station.
Annual Meeting Of Thomas n. Mar.
shall Post, G. A. r.

Belfast, Me-, Dec. 4.--As was an
of Bangor and Boston capitalists will
begin operations here, building some
20 or more cottage houses, for rent
and sale. This corporation has an
option tract of land lying between Up
per High street and Waldo avenue,
containing some SO or more house lots,
and this will be laid out in streets,
two parallel ones, built by the corpora
ton, which will also build it's own sew
ers and sidewalks, asking the city lat
er to accept them. Already the cor
poration, which will be capitalized at
$4,000, has contracts for three houses
and work will begin at once. AS has
been stated, 20 or more will be built,
none to cost less than 5000, and no lot
will be sold for cottage of less val
ue. On High street tract will be re-
served for factory buildings. The land
is owned by j. A. McKeen and Is just
above his residence. Water will be
furnished the houses from artesian
wells, on Waldo avenue, where there
are springs which will furnish an
abundance.
Earl White, the 17-year- old son of
George E. White of Lincolnville ave-
nue., has a hobby of which he is very
proud and in which he is intensely
interested. For the past year, young
White has been in poor health and
while others boys were engaged in out
Cf-door sports he has been obliged to
stay in. He has kept busy, however,
and has constantly read and studied.
One this interested him more than
anything else. That was wireless te-
legraphy. This he has studied on,
reading everything he could get hold
of, until at last he has been able to
build wireless station at his home,
and so perfected it that he has already
been able to get three distinct station
messages. He hopes soon to be able
to intercept messages from the Airing
ton (Va.) government station. The
apparatus is arranged on the barn at
a height Of so feet, and connected with
the house, a distance of about so feet.
Here he has his receiving apparatus.
of which he is very proud. When 1t is
taken into consideration that this lad
has done this all himself with only the
aid of books, he deserves a good deal

Lloyd George of Wales.
au02sdSrrnr

Lloyd George is a Welshman through
and through, with all the candor, SYM
pathetic vitality, directness. and tenacI-
ty that characterize his people. His
father failed as a schoolmaster and died
an unsuccessful farmer His mother was
left penniless. but an uncle made legal
career possible for little David. AT l6 he
was duly articled to firm of solicit
ors.'' At q he was admitted to the bar.
Before he was % he had built up one of
the largest practices in Wales But he
loved politics and public debate. He
stumped the country on behalf of land
reform and temperance, and was elected
to the Council of Carnarvonshire. He
typified Wales and the Welsh question,
advocated Welsh patriotism and the
common people of Wales and, in $780, was
elected to the House of Commons.
For 10 years little was known of him
except as an adroit parliamentary strate-
gist and a clever speaker He incurred
a good deal of bitter eamity from many
EngIishmen because OF his opposition TO
the Boer War, but all the while he was
mastering details of administration and
embodyfng to the Empire the qualities

King. while he was still Prince of Wales;
Elf there were such thing as the presi-

The fighting quality. the brilliant, viru-
lent sarcasm, the unsparing ridicule, and
the lack of reverence of tradition that
have always marked Lloyd Georges pub
lie speeches have made him many enc
mics. But no scandal has touched him.
Politics tried to smirch him in the
'Marconitis' affair, yet 1t left him un-
scathed.
Democracy is the note of his personaIi-
ty as well as of his career. He is CHEEKY

frank, typical. indeed, of the rather
wholesome revolution that is now pass
