Chimes Give Woman
Nervous Indigestion

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Mrs. Julia
Gertrude Lyle's chimes on her estate
at Tenady will remain silent at night
until Vice Chancellor Lewis In Jersey
City decides whether or not the bells
are nuisance and really give Mrs.
Alice Mary Bailey nervous indiges-
ton
Besides Mrs Bailey one of the com
plainants is Charles P. Buckley, of
No. 141 Broadway, New York. He
presented affidavits of several other
neighbors protesting against the
chimes. Mrs. Bailey was a witness
and when questioned by Mr.. Parker
she insisted the chimes were not
nice, because the man who plays them
gets his scores all mixed up and tries
to play The Wearing Of the Green
and Bonnie Doom at the same time"

NoRplcA's LAST TOUR.
Franklin Holding, the Maine Vielinist,
Tells of IL,

Franklin Holding, the violinist OF
Lewiston. Maine. who is winning fame,
and who was with Nordica On her
last tour, tells of that journey and its
sad ending. Madame Nordica has just
been honored at Kings Weigh, Church
House, Duke Street, Grosvenor
square, London. The body lay in a
leaden shell placed within an immense
sarcophagus made by Chinese of two
teak trees on which had been carved
the lotus flower, the emblem of eternal
life. The ashes of the body, which
was cremated, were placed in the sar-
cophagus and will be brought 10 the
United States for burial about July IA.
OF the world concert tour Holding
says
we left Sydney bound for Batavia,
Java, in pleasant weather. and all was
well until Dec. u. when the ship
stranded on Bramble Cay, which is a
dot of sand surrounded by coral reefs.
The vessel remained on the reef for
three days, when we were assisted Off
amidships and was listed to starbonrd.
1t was impossible on account of the
hurricane to transship to the collier,
and we decided to try to make port
under our own steam. We proceeded
slowly and reached Thursday Island
on New Years Day, this year.
Thursday Island is one of group
of islands called the Prince Edward
Archipelago, being directly north of
the northeastern promontory of Aus
tralia. The surrounding waters are
called Torres Straits and are very
dangerous. Madame Nordica had TAX
en- cold on account of the exposure
and her debilitated condition, and 1t
was necessary to have her taken to
the hospital at Thursday Island,
which is a British possession There
we stayed until March rs, and as the
madames condition was not improved,
it was decided that it might be better
to continue the trip.
Even to we'll pereon, Thursday
| Island is a frightful place to be ma
rooned, and every one OF the party
suffered intensely, from prickly heat,
the bites of mosquitoes and many
venomous reptiles. The surrounding
waters were infested with sharks and
alligators, and we did not have even
the luxury of a swim in the sea, except
| under very circumsoribed conditions.
During January, we suffered terri
| bly, from the heat. In February 1t
rained every day in torrents. On March
2s we sailed for Batavia and made
that port in ten days on board Of the
steamer Houtman We were only in
BATAVIA a few days when Nine. Nor
dica was taken ill and in spite of all
that could be done by physicians and

Editorial Comment.
An Honest Man.
(Aroostook Republican


In January, 1913, a man in a neigh
boring town, ordered by mail mer-
chandise at the Republican office TO
the value of IS cents, requesting that
a bill for the amount be sent. on
the first of the following month
statement was billed for the full
amount. as per request, On Feoru-
airy we received a check for % cents
five cents short of the bill sent.
The difference of five cents was no.
ticed, of course, but the account was
credited in full on our books.
Imagine our surprise one day last
week to receive a letter from the
customer of Is months ago inclosing
five cents in change, with the follow
ing letter of explanation:
Herewith is five cents that we
find we owe you on account of the
error in the check inclosed herewith.
Our bookkeeper was looking over
and checking up our old checks, and
finds that the stub of this check was
% cents, as it should have been,
while the check was Ave cents less.
We are sorry to have made such an
error. We know it is small AFFAIR
but 1t is just as well to have 1t
right
If all men were as honest and care
full in paying bills as the man men
toned above, the quest of Dlogenes
would not be in vain

Memorial! to Elijah kellogg.

Elijah kellogg! Reyerently the
older boys speak OF the name of the
sweet-charactered author of the Elm
Island stories and Lion Ben. And still
older boys recall that classic. Spar
tacus the Gladiator which they de-
claimed in lyceum or school exhibition.
And all these boys of years agone, and
the boys of today will be interested in
the proposal to place memorial tab
let to Rev. Elijah Kellogg on the wall
of a building of Bowdoin College An
out-of-State paper, the Providence
Journal, says of the movement:
TT is one that will appeal to thous-
ands CT the readers of his stories for
boys. Thirty or forty years ago there
were few American youths who were
not deeply interested in his series of
books on college life and the careers
Of his young heroes after they left
Bowdcin.
His sketches of Professor Cleveland
were peculiarly interesting and i'm
pressive, and, besides telling his stories
we'll, Mr.. kellogg had the happy fac
uity of impressing upon the reader
the Importance of conscientious en-
deavor and right living without a sug-
gestien Of gratuitous leeturing. His
boy friends thus received wholesome
instruction while following the adj
ventures of Henry Morton, James
Troftan and their associates in The
Whispering Pine" and others of the
college series. His Elm Island stories
likewise appealed to younger readers.
and the exploits of the hardy pioneers
in the wilderness during the Indian
wars furnished another theme which
enhanced the authors popularity.
REV. Elijah kellogg graduated from
Bowdoin in the class of 1910, and ii Is
most fitting that a tablet should occu-
Ply prominent position on building
associated with his name. This honor
does not mean that Kellogg is the
most famous OF Bowdoins students In
literature, for Nathaniel Hawthorne
and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
were graduates of the Maine college.
Kellogg's work was in different field,
and It was good enough to merit the
tribute proposed. Surely, the boys of
forty years ago will see that the me-
mortal plan succeeds.
