till they reached the English Channel and
arrived in port with half an hours diff
ference, after racing for over three
months on end. And brave. fine things
they looked as they sped EDWARDS with
their white wings unfurled to the breeze.
The Thermopylae had marvellous ca
pacity for speed. In one day she sailed
$50 statute miles, or an average of six
teen miles an hour, and she made the
passage home from China in ninety-one
days. These were names to conjure with
in the sixties. The Thermopylae was
composite clipper of 947 tons register.
Her dimensions were 210x36x21 feet.
Men talked of these sailing vessels as if
they were real personalities. One of the
most famous of them was the Macquarie
an iron barque built in 1875 by Green's
of London. Her registered tonnage was
1877, her length 2698 feet, her beam 40
feet and her depth 237 feet. In her day
she was a famous beauty, and, after be-
ing sold to Norwegian owners, is ending
her days as hulk somewhere in Aus
tralia.
Yhe fact remains that in spite of their
charm their day is done and that owners
are rapidly discarding them for steam
ships. With them goes much of the ro-
nance connected with the sea. Shorter
voyages, quicker discharge, greater speed
are the order of the day. Vessels are
worked today from no altruistic point of
view, and the chances are that before
many years are passed the large sailing
ship will have passed entirely away.
British owners in particular are leaiing
the van in this direction. In twenty
five years the British sailing tonnage
has decreased from $500, 600 to 255, 900.
1t is long cry from the wooden bull
warks" of England to the finely equip
ped steel steamship of today, but our
commercial and economic pre-eminence
was won for us by men who sailed ''be-
fore the mast and their achievements
will remain for years to come the pride
of the British peoules

DISINHERITED.

From the Portland, Oregon, Journal
In spite of Mexican misfortunes, there
are Americans who are warlike when
the battle is afar. that still clamor for
the American army to be sent to the
capital. There are newspaper generals
who sit in swivel chairs with martial air
and write screaming demands for the
letting of Mexican blood, regardless of
the cost in American lives.
1t is a cruel cry. The Mexicans are q
landless people in a land of fabulous
riches. They are trespassers in their
own country.
Mexico is the most conspicuous example
of absentee landlordism in the world. as
was declared from his pulpit by DR.. John
Boyd of Portland, Sunday. All the arabic
land in Mexico is owned by z, 900 families.
Once, thousands of small tracts were in
the hands of small farmers, but under
the land policy Of Porfirio Diaz it passed
into the hands of a great landlording
class, largely alien. w. r. Hearst, the
newspaper man, owns million acres,
and General Otis, newspaper publisher
of Los Angeles, is owner of another

even more extensive than those in Russia

Rev. Haraden S. Pearl of Belfast, mod
orator for this year in place of Rev. D.
L. Wilson, who has moved away; James
Duncan of Searspori, vice moderator;
w. G. Hatch of North Belfast, registrar
and treasurer.
The financial report showed that the
field has been very successful, meeting
all it's obligations.
Devotional service were conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Cairn of Brooks. A glowing
sermon was given in the morning by
Rev. Charles H. Mckinney of Searsport,
who spoke on Forms of Worship
His talk was most interesting and given
in his convincing and earnest manner.
He was followed by Rev. C. w. Col
lier of Bangor, on "Some Aspects of the
State Work" Rev. Charles Harbutt of
Portland, the State superintendent, then
continued the subject, giving many
practical illustrations of what is being
done in Maine, by the Congregational
churches.
Rev. Harry Trust then gave talk on
1.-The Spiritual Decline of the Country
Church."
Rev. Haraden S. Pearl followed with
a talk on 'Some Problems of the
Church"

fee. The consular service is protected

Office The consular service is protected
by an executive order Except in rare
cases when the President sets aside the
order, candidates for consulates must
pass examinations for entry into the
lower grades. Then they are promoted
on their records.
Although it has taken shocking liber-
ties with the diplomatic service, the
present Administration has shrunk so
far from looting the consulates. Inc
only very fragrant case of craftsmanship
in this service was the cause of sharp
discussion in the House of Representa-
tives the other day. In order to pay off
some personal obligation the President
appointed as consul to Jerusalem an
elderly New Jersey clergyman of South
ern connections, the Rev. Otis A, Glaze
brook. AS Representative Gillett of
Massachusetts told the House, there is
an extra-territorial jurisdiction in Jeru
salem and the consul Is required to act
in a judicial capacity. Nobody could,
therefore, be less qualified for such a
delicate post than an elderly American
theologian without legal or consular ex-
perience.
The President had promised to observe
the executive order protecting consuls,
except where the good of the service re-
quired departure from 1t. But in the
most conspicuous departure which he
has made tie good of the service was
entirely forgotten. What can be ex-
pected if the Administration is to have a
free hand in selecting the new corps of
commercial attaches? The new service
instead of being made helpful instru-
ment for the promotion of foreign trade
will be turned into a retreat for the
broken down or relief station for the
hungry and thirsty.
By classifying and protecting the at
taches Mr.. Redfeld had a chance to con-
tribute something substantial toward
the development of an efficient foreign
commercial service. Instead he has only
furnished new list of attractive jobs
for the spoilsmen.

COPPER AGREEMENT NEAR.
American Veal May Soon Be
Shipped to Italy Unmolested.

Representatives of the western cop
per-producing interests who called on
Secretary Bryan yesterday were informed
that an understanding was being
framed between the United States and
Great Britain. with every indicat ton of
success, whereby American copper
would be allowed to be transported to
Italy without detention.
Most American copper is shipped TO
order or consigned directly to bellig-
erent countries Consequently the British
government. which already had de-
clared copper contraband. asserted the
right to seize it. The nature of the
which has been reached
between the British government and
Italy, which will permit the resump-
ton of the American copper trade with
Italy is not disclosed, but it is under
stood at the State Department that
the British are satisfied with the guar
antees which the Italian government
will extend that the copper will not
reach Germany or Austria if allowed
to enter Italian ports.

CITY UNIVERSITIES.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

The newest development of university
work, and one which is certain to
prove of great practical value, is the
establishment of municipal universe
ties in the larger American cities
These institutions will do the same
work for the cities which the state
universities are doing for the states,
and in addition will supply enormous
additional facilities in advanced edu-
cation. The university will he an in
tegral part of the city itself and Will
enter directly into each of its active
working systems. Akron. Cincinnati aud
New York have been the first cities to
establish distinct universities for their
municipalities. Several other cities
have well perfected plans for such in

The most direct example of the prac-
teal manner in which the university
can help the municipality is furnished
IN the report just completed by Prof.
Fred f.. Ayres. dean of the College OF
Engineering of the University of Ak
ron, regarding the pavements of that
city. The investigation was conducted
hy special request of the city council,
for the purpose of securing accurate
information to aid in adopting some
greater method of efficiency in the paw
ing of the city and q reduction OF cost
TO the citizens
The youth of the College of Engin-
eering made the work more difficult,
but the cooperative aid of two stu
dents of civil engineering from the
University of Cincinnati was enlisted
and careful inspection made of every
foot of pavement in the city of Akron
The students from the University of
Akron tabulated the data thus secured
a careful study was made of the paw
ing methods and materials of other
cities. Chemical tests were made in
the university's laboratory of various
kinds of paving materials The full
report contained suggestions as to I'M
proved materials methods of letting
contracts. comparative costs and other
expert knowledge rarely supplied to
any city, and calculated to insure
higher standard of efficiency in the
paving of the city and to save large
sums in future expenditure.
