Leaves Money to Start Hospital

BY the will of Sarah J. Allen, of
Sanford, filed in the probate court at
Alfred, Me-, about $500 is bequeathed
to hospital in Sanford, provided one
is established within ten years. The
announcement was a surprise to the
Sanford Hospital Association, whose
trustees voted last Saturday. to pur-
chase the V. C. Bodwell lot on North
Main street az site. Although the
association has been organized only
a few months, early success seems as
sured. The unexpected bequest of Miss
Allen, adds further stimulus to the
project Provided a hospital is not
established within ten years of the
death of the testator the fund is to go
to home for aged people, if estab-
lshed within that period. II neither
public hospital nor home for aged
people is established within 10 years,
then the sum is to go to Mrs. Laura
Reyes of Sanford, who is also be-
queathed 81 1000. Miss Aliens home in
South Sanford, is bequeathed to Miss
Harriet ~ Bennett, of Sanford, and
a few hundred dollars each are given
to relatives and friends

State of Maine Song

We are in receipt OF copy OF the
New State Song state of Maine, my
State OF Maine, by George Thornton
Edwards through the courtesy of the
Underwood Music Co In a COMMUNE
cation to us they make the following
statement: 1.-The words of the song
were written several years ago, and
it has been sung to an old German
air at reunions of many Maine Clubs,
notably the Maine Club of New York,
at a recent meeting at the Waldorf
Astoria, and has been sung by the
Portland Board of Trade, on its an
nual from one end of the State to the
other, and into Canada. Mr.. Edwards
has recently set the song to original
music and has made of it an inspiring
State song. AS you are probably
aware several states in the Union have
State song. The State of Missouri
offered and awarded $1,000. for its
State song.

The French government has reached
the conclusion that the drum is no
longer necessary in military affairs.
Acting upon the recommendation of a
military commission. orders have
been issued to cast it out of the serv-
ice. The history of the drum is most
ancient and honorable. The Egypt
ans employed 1t and the Greeks at
tribute its origin to Bacchus. The
Spanish conqueror. Pozarro. is said to
have found drums in South American
temples. The snakes of Ireland, we
are told, fled from he Emerald Isle
because of the drum beats of ST. Pat
rick. The French report sets forth
that the drum is a serious encu,.
brance in marching, that rain impairs
its usefulness; that it's calls cannot
be distinguished in time of battle:
that it consumes a period of years to
turn out an efficient drummer, ana
that by abandoning the drum many
thousands of youths will be released
from the service.

Potato Situation

The rosetinted clouds which over
hung the potato situation in Aroos-
took county most of the fall, have been
dispelled during the past few months,
and the farmers are now beginning to
realize that the torrents of rain, which
have fallen during the past few weeks.
have done great damage to a crop
which it was at first thought would
exceed any harvested in Aroostook
for several years. The recent cold
wave, which struck Aroostook along
with the rest of the State. has not only
damaged potatoes still in the ground,
but those stored in barns and sheds
have been bitten by the frost more or
less. This has had the result of some
what Gripping the market for the tu-
bers. f. L. Cleveland. the Houlton
potato dealer, claims that growers
in the southern part of Maine have
also been affected by the weather and
as result, potato buyers in central
and southern part of Maine have found
large acreages still undug. He cites
the case of one man who still has 90
acres of potatoes in the ground. Mr.
Cleveland thinks that the loss to pota-
to growers throughout the State will
be tremendous. A considerable per-
centage of Aroostook potatoes still re-
main in the ground. One hopeful fea-
ture of the situation Is the fact that
the frost will have a tendency to ell
inmate the rot, to a certain extent

Fire at Oakland

Considerable damage was done by a
FIRE that started in the basement of the
New Revere hotel, in Oakland, about
11.30 Sunday evening. The exact
cause has not been determined, but
the blaze seems to have started in
the vicinity of the furnace. The whole
house was filled with smoke and the
fire worked well into several of the
partitions, so the total damage will
be quite heavy. The hotel was pur-
chased a short time ago by Fred H.
Hoar, and put in first class condition
throughout, and has been doing a good
business of late.

POSTOFFICE APPROPRIATION
AN INCREASE OF ss,ooo,ooo MADE
IN ANNUAL BILL.
The Senate Committee Recommends
$283, 487, 442 For the Support
of Postal Service.

Washington, Feb. 19.--An increase
of nearly $3,000,000 in the annual
post Office appropriation bill, was
made by the senate committee on post
offices, which reported the measure
to the senate. The total asked for
in support of the postal service for
the year is 1898, 4S7,44 the state
ment including an increase of $780,
600 in railway mail pal, occasioned in
part by the establishment of the par
eel post.
A new weighing of the mails, cover
ing period of thirty days from
September !, 1918, Is provided by the
bill as reported to the senate. This
step Is recommended because the par
lcel post has greatly Increased the
weight of the mails. and the railroads
claim they are entitled to compensa-
ton on a new basis. The bill would
also stop the present practice of car
rying second class mail in fast freight
trains.
The plan of allowing communities
to nominate their postmasters is en-
bodied in the postal appropriation bill
and would apply to all fourth class
post Offices where the postmaster's
salary is more than $500. The bill
does not make any such nomination
compulsory. "

COUNTRY RESIDENCE OF DAVID

EXPLOSION SKATERS WALLS

en- and TWO Men Seen Near
Place Just Before Explosion.

London, Feb. 19.-Chancellor of the
Exchequer David Lloyd Georges coun.
try residence at Walton on the Hill
was wrecked by a bomb explosion
early today and detectives are conf
dent that the outrage was perpetrated
by suffragists. Pie bomb was plant
ed in the servants room and the ex-
plosion shattered the walls on every
side of the house, blew out the win
dows and wrecked every joist sup
porting the floors above and below.
The house was unoccupied and not
quite finished. When the workmen
arrived today they found the house
nearly a complete wreck. In one of
the front rooms they discovered an.
other bomb not exploded. Detect
ives were notified at once. The fact
that the house was unoccupied and
the presence of fresh automobile
tracks in the road and driveway con-
WINGED them that suffragists had
planted the explosives. An auto con-
tanning three women and two men
was seen near the place short time
before the explosion.

Humboldt, Feb. 19.--Instead OF hog

is the opinion OF DR.. James Nicholson

II Is steadily increasing and becom-
ing more serious daily. DR.. Nichol-
son Is In contract with the work OF
Veterinarians over all this section OF
Iowa and his opinion is that what IA
doing the greatest mischief In spread
ing the disease Is the crow. This ac-
counts. he says, for the long jumps
the cholera takes from one locality to
another. Dr. Nicholson advises the
farmers of Iowa to burn all dead ami.
mails and keep sharp lookout in their
hog lots for symptoms of cholera.
