Harp O. ye winds, still charm the Doric
height,
Once in the spell OF great Apollo's Tyre;
Sweep voiceful chords to rhythm Of loftiest
fight,
And ell who hear with noble thoughts In
spire,
Sing Of the Year now Of its glory shorn,
The sweet regrets its final moments
brought;
Sing the New Life that tints the cheek Of
morn,
No idle theme invites the generous thought.
We steepled bards. pour forth runic rhyme
OF measures ct with knolliug bells to blend;
Let music Of the spheres intone the time.
And angel hosts the newborn Year attend
The Heir sleeps well. the passing Sire beside,
In viewless cradle rocked by unseen hands;
The time-worn Year goes forth without .
guide,
whence. no man knows, NOR mortal under
standsi
God grant. New Year. before thy locks are
white,
Europa be to peaceful ways disposed;s
o hide with flowers her ride pits from sight,
Be all her human slaughter-houses closed.

The report Of the commissioner OF
sea and shore fisheries, covering the
years 1918 and 1914, just made to Gov
ernor Haines, places the value OF
Oil, O0D, 600 ON the catch of fish in
Maine for that period, and gives the
number employed in the industry as
S,937, while the total number OF per-
sons dependent on the industry Is 5o,-
600. When We consider that this is
about 10 per cent. Of the entire popu-
lation of Maine, some appreciation
may be had Of the Importance Of our
fishing industry.

eere has never been legislative or
dicial ruling in this State, may be
brought up. 1t is pretty generally
accepted, however, that . majority
will be necessary.
This being the case, much depends
upon the action OF the four progress
sives. II they make separate nomi-
nations, as they have declared they
will, deadlock will result. II the
four progressives should vote with
the republicans, the result would Be
the same. II one progressive should
vote with the democrats, the demo
Gratis would control.
All this is dependent upon foil at
tendance OF all members at the joint
convention. Possibility Of absences
must be taken into consideration.
The democrats claim they will be
able to marshal q majority BY secur-
ing progressive vote or by unseat-
ing two or three republicans in the
House who were declared elected BY
margins OF one or two votes. The
democrats have majority OF three
in the House and the representatives
are Of the judges of the legality Of
their own elections.
All in all, the situation Is snch ~ to
keep the candidates for State Offices
on the anxious seat.

Chairman Himebaugh, of the Pro-
gressive congressional committee,

statement issued last Thursday, ad-
vises members Of the progressive
party to unite with the progressive
republicans in the 1916 campaign, to
the end sthat the re:ctionary ele-
ment OF the republican party may be
wiped out, and the continued domino
ton of the democratic party pre-
vented". Chairman Himebaugh il

tional board OF managers of soldiers

Bar Harbor Breakwater.

Reporting on the breakwater from
Mount Desert to Porcupine island, Bar
Harbor, Lieut.. Col. w. e. Craighill, OF the
war departments. says:
Operations during the fiscal year just
ended have consisted in placing n, 255 tons
OF stone in extending the work. The ex-
penditures to June 30, 1914, have amounted
to $S13,500.61. Tho breakwater has been
built for . distance OF about 2,3l0 feet,
though the outss end 10 not to full sec
tion, leaving about 100 feet yet to be con-
structed. The total quantity OF stone de-
posted to the present time is 81 ,a21 tons,
or about "a per cent. Of the estimated
whole.
1.-THE beneficial effects resulting from the
breakwater in protecting the wharves 1t
Bar Harbor and the anchorage basin,
which 10 extensively used BY costly pleas
ure crafts during the summer season, are
appreciably felt, but in order to secure
the desired protection at high water Of
spring tides it may be found necessary to
raise the breakwater to height Of about
ak feet above mean high tide. The mean
range in tides is 1O.5 feet.
''The benefits to navigation are general
in providing harbor OF refuge, and local
in making it possible for boats to land at
the wharves ct all times with safety. The

FINANCIAL And COMMERCIAL
MARKET CLOSED STRONG.
Treasured by the Placing of French
Loan in This Country.

New York June 22.-The most i'm
portant development of the day was
the announcement made towards the
close OF the stock market that arrange
ments lad been completed for the
placing of d French loan in this coun-
try backed by the Rothschilds. Al
though definite details were lacking,
the news was of sufficient interest to
bring about a general recovery of
quoted values from their early irreg-
ularity, leaving a number of net gains.
Foreign war conditions were re-
responsible for the initial heavi-
ness and contrary movements.
The success of the Austro- German
campaign against Russia caused con-
siderable selling of our stocks for Lon
don and other European interests, with
Canadian Pacific as the weakest fea-
ture. That stock at one time show
ed loss of points. its decline being
again accompanied by rurnors of
downward revision of it's dividend.
Coal stocks showed no further effect
of yesterdays decision of the United
States supreme court, which ordered
wanna and Western Railroad from it's
coal subsidiary. In fact, Lackawan-
ma, which is rarely traded in these
days, made a gain of eight points on
sales of only 200 shares.
That class of railway issues desig-
maze aS Trunk INES was strong, pre-
sumably as a result Of Baltimore and
Ohio's statement Of earnings for
March which disclosed a net increase
of S1,247, 900. Hartman and Hill is
sues were firm to strong and New Ha-
ven and its allied road, New York, On
tario and Western, also moved far
ward.
Coppers were under intermittent
pressure, some disappointment being
expressed at the moderate increase of
Anaconda's dividend. Instead of the
fifty cent quarterly rate, it was hoped
that the rs cent disbursement of 1918
would be restored. United States
Steel was again the active feature, but
its range was narrow and without ma
terial net change. Total sales of
stocks amounted to 46700 shares.
There was a better tone to sterling
and continental exchange, the i'm
provement being mainly due to the
prospects for additional foreign ffnanc-
ing here.
Ffrmness ruled in bonds regardless
of recurrent foreign offerings. Total
sales, par value, aggregated $2,378. 900.

ment crowd of 1000 persons today by
winning the first game of the annual

hit 'Pie" Way opportunity for all its
runs. Hunter, the Blues catcher, who
played a splendid game, knocked in
both of Yale's runs. Vaughn of Yale
was put out at the plate trying to
stretch a, triple into a home run. This
player also made a sensational catch
of a foul, running into the crowd along
the right field foul line. Harte, the
Crimson backstop, was deadly on his
throws to second and he made a
wonderful catch Of a foul which ended
the game.
Previous to the game, the Yale re-
union classes, gay in the vari-coIored
costumes, marched around the field
headed by a dozen brass bands.

Eastern Conn. League Falls Through
Two Clubs Fail to Appear at Meeting Tuesday Evening
TaftviIe Westerly and New London Strong for League
Reorganization Steps May be Taken.

Hopes of the-o organizing of an East
ern Connecticut Baseball League met
with what will probably be a f atal
blow Tuesday evening when a. sup
posed meeting of all clubs was to be
held, but only three managers braVed
the attempt. Benoit of Taftville, Finn
of New London and Shea and Coop
er of Westerly.
The SachemS who were originators
of the scheme failed to have any rep
resentattve, as word was received
from Manager Holland that business
took him out of town. Baltic tele-
phoned that they would be unable to
send anyone.
Possibly there may be an attempt
to re-organize again and it is most
certain that an excellent opprtunity
to form an organization has been rash
ly thrown aside for the lack of keen
interest which ought to prevail among
the managers as it has been aroused
among the fans. Hopes are set that
the managers will overlook this temp
orary setback and hit the trail once
more for the formation Of a substan-
tiai circuit.
The delegates from Westerly re-
ported that the interest and enthusi-
asm at that place has become intense
and the fans are heart and soul for the
proposed league and the news Of Tues
DAYS meeting will be much regretted.
In spite of the downfall of the
league Taftville, Westerly and New
London expect to play a triangular
series, the first starting Sunday
when Taftville meets New London at
New London.
The three clubs present decided to
call negotiations off and will at once
schedule games for the summer which
they have been holding off hoping that
the league would materialize.
The real first setback came when
Moosup signified their intentions of
withdrawing after it was understood
they would enter.
