A Freak In Stone.

The rocky maze of Prachov, neat
Japan, in northern Bohemia, is yer.
liable natural curiosity. 1t has been
we'll described as a gigantic freak In
stone" To enter the labyrinth with
out a guide is a perilous proceeding,
for an unwary adventurer would prob
ably speedily be lost in the tortuous
windings OF the maze. where the paths
are so narrow and crooked and the
cliffs on the side so high that the ex-
plorer soon loses all idea of locality.
In days of fiery persecution the Mora
Wan and Bohemian brethren's secret
prayer meetings used to be held here
just as the early Christians assembled
to worship in the catacombs. The
cliffs are honeycombed with cells. and
at the far end of the maze is rock
castle where In the old days robber
baron lived and took toll Of all way
farers. The shape of some of the rocks
is very curious. There are, for in.

The Municipal Election.

The municipal campaign in Ellsworth
which closed Monday will 60 down in
local political history as an under
ground campaign. The silent vote was
writ large in the final returns.
The election Illustrated again the
fact that in municipal affairs the
voters will not be bound by party
lines. Men who are pronouncedly re-
publican in national and State affairs
ignore the fact that if the party is TO
win in these larger contests the or
ganization must be preserved in the
cities and towns. Shutting their ears
to this demand of party duty, many
republicans in Ellsworth on Monday
cast vote TO strengthen the demo-
cratic organization, at least no other
inference can be drawn from the re-
turns.
Doctor Hagerthy was elected by a
margin much narrower than he should
have received, and the democrats Sc
cured majority of the aldermen. DR..
Hagerthy now holds the unique dis
tinction of having been elected mayor
of Ellsworth six times.
The change in the city charter by
which the street commissioner is now
elected by popular vote doubtless had
large effect on the results Monday, as
as much interest conferred in this con-
test as in that for mayor.
Nine other Maine cities held cleo
tions Monday. The contests in most
cases were between the two old par
ties, the progressives naming an in
dependent ticket in only one city,
Auburn, where they were again sue
cessful against republicans and demo-
Gratis.
Bath shifted from democratic to re-
publican, while Rockland, for the first
time in five years, turned from the re-
publican to the democratic party.
Hallowell democrats retained the
mayoralty but lost the city by one
alderman.
The democrats went down to defeat
in Lewiston for the first time in nine
years, being replaced by a combina-
ton of progressives, republicans and
citizens. South Portland republicans
regained the Office of chief executive
and retained the city government.
There was no change in Eastport,
Saco and Watervil!e, control remain
ing in the hands of the republicans in
Eastporu and Saco and with the dem
ocraus in Waterville.

Senator Johnson's scheme to refer
Bar Harbor's postmastership question
to vote of the democrats of the
town, seems to have met with set
back. Otha II. Jellison is the only one
of the six or eight candidates for the
postmatership who is said to favor the
referendum plan. The others claim
that Mr.. Jellison was given the pole
and good send-off while they were
still scoring for position. 1t looks
very much as if the referendum plan
would leave sorer spots than if the
democratic town committee and
Senator Johnson had taken the matter
in their own hands and named the
man for the job.

The orange was brought from Asia
to Spain and Portugal In the sixteenth
century. 1t was taken to South Amer

in the forests of the Amazon. Orig
inally a small. sour fruit, it has been
cultivated up to its present size and
sweetness. The orange industry be-
gan in the United States about 1875
and about 1885 was well advanced.
The number of orange trees in this
country is now close TO 100000. of
which California has about GO per cent
and Florida 80. the remainder being

important feature of the work be-
/ ing the apportionment of the avail

sibly this sum may be augmented

Commissioner Ehrhart Is in hopes
that some II not all this money may
become available for this years road
work. II 1t does, then there will be
more than half a million dollars that
can be put into state highways with

The capitol managers board has
heen advised by the governor that

possible. If 1t should become avail
able the highway commissioners will
meet later to apportion 1t between
