BRAZIL'S GREAT
 FOREIGN MINISTER

Best known to North Americans of the statesmen Of South America is Dr. Lauro Severiano Muller. Brazil's dis tinguished Minister of Foreign Affairs. and the premier of the Brazilian cabi- net. MT. Muller is one of the fathers of the Brazilian republic, and one of the signers of its constitution. He visited the United States in 1913, re- turning the visit of Secretary of State Root to Brazil. On that occasion the Brazilian statesman made the voyage in the great battleship Minas Gereas. He visited North America again last summer for a vacation from his off, cial duties.
 Dr. Muller was born in the state of Santa Catharina, Brazil, of German parents. on Nov. 8. 1863. He entered public life at the age of 25 as the governor of his native state. Brazil was then an empire under the sov- ereignty of the Portuguese Dom Pedro II. In 1889 the Emperor was forced to abdicate and Dr. Muller took prominent part in the bloodless revo, lution by which a republic was set up in the largest and most populous of Latin American countries. He has SAAA ASC A1O4o CIc OllICc OI SOV0TIlCT OI Santa Catharina, has served two sena- tor1al terms, and three terms in the lower house of the Brazilian congress. He helped to abolish slavery in Brazil
 Dr. Muller entered the ministry as minister of public works, later becom- ing foreign secretary. Last year he received g. gift from Pope Benedict in recognition of his work in bringing about a peace treaty between, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.
 On the occasion of his first visit MT. Muller made a tour of the United States. from coast to coast, and was nightly impressed by the magnitude of North American industries such as the packing houses of Chicago, the steel works of Bethlehem, and tho great office buildings of New York While in Los Angeles the South American statesman declared that ''all the, best orange trees in California have sprung from two original trees" Of New York he said that lone must form impressions which can be ex- pressed in gasps alone.'' Doubtless MT. Muller also saw things to criticise, but he neglected to mention them. He is diplomat. Also he is, although of Teuton ancestry, "all American" to use his own expression.

hands between the stand on which the. box rested and the side Of the box, the examiner simply tore the stand out The band of my silk hat was pushed up to see whether any thing was concealed underneath, ana the cushion for brushing the hat was ripped open.
 My evening hat was opened. AL though it was bought in the United States, it seems that it had been made in Paris, and, as that fact was made in Paris, and, as that fact was stamped inside, I had a feeling that lit did not lessen the care with which it was examined. In the bottom or my trunk there were about dozen summer shirts. I had not worn them since the previous summer, and eacn had a piece of cardboard placed in it when laundered in order to hold the shirt in shape. The cardboard was taken out of each shirt and laid aside.
 | This completed the examination Of my luggage, and I was then told to go with another subof1cer and sub- init to a personal examination, l was directed to go into compartment and was told to take off all my cloth ing except my undershirt. I was told to take everything out of my pockets and put it on a shelf. Bank notes were unfolded, one by one, to see that there was no tissue between; my matchsafe was opened, so was small. metal case that I carry my subway tickets in. The outer and in ner cases of my watch were opened. The pockets of my topcoat. coat, waistcoat. and trousers were turned inside out, and fingers passed over every seam. My boots and socks, drawers and shirt received the same careful attention previously accorded those in my trunk. The band around the hat wore was pushed up and the sweatband turned down.
 Next I was handed a paper to sign, stating that everything had been re- turned to me, and I was told that my examination was over. Although had the No. 1 ticket, l was next to the last allowed to go on board the steamer waiting to take us to Dem mark; this was on account of the fact that most of the people carried little luggage with them.
 The last passengers to come on board were an American lady ana her daughter, who had lived Tn Ger many for six years while the daugh- ter was completing her musical edu- cation. They had with them a num- Der of photographs of friends and relatives, and the pictures were all soaked in water until they could be removed from the cardboard on which they were mounted.
 One woman had her back rubbed with a lemon in order to wash off anything that might be written on 1t. All the women had to undress and take down their hair. All children, even infants in arms, are undressed and examined with the utmost thor oughness- when there is the least sus- picion of those with whom they are travelling
 The examination of suspected Wo- men is, of course, conducted by wo- men inspectors, and I, was told that cipher dispatches written on oil paper have sometimes been discovered, and that the examination is rigid in the extreme In fact, American women who consider going to Germany be- fore the end of the war must make up their minds in advance that they may possibly be subjected to an ex- animation that to many would De humiliating. >

any effect whatever. as no unusual
amount of cutting was reported and the
department would be interested in only
that feature of the market conditions
He had no doubt. however but what the
stories in the main of the large increasing
in price were correct. He certainly hoped
that our Maine lumbernen would be able
to profit by every favorable turn of the
market, because they had been up
against enough of the other side Of the
question in the past few years. Some Of
them, even this year, owing to the lack
of snow and the soft weather in some
sections were having as tough PROPOSE
ton as they really ought to have. The
northern part of the State has had much
better conditions than the other. although
labor has cost somewhat more than in
the previous year. This is due to the
difficulty in obtaining a sufficient number
of experienced woodsmen. large numbers
Of them undoubtedly having enlisted in
the Canadian contingent. 1t is also found
that the inexperienced, if they con-
sent to go into the woods will not go Cor
any less wages.

Knox County Jail

1t is learned that the State inspectors
OF prisons and jails. W. j. Bradbury Of
Fairfield, J. ". Meserve of Buxton and
J. E. Fitzgerald Of Bath. at their recent
visit to the Knox county Jail at Rockland
were enabled to change their usual COM
ment on the condition of that institution
by saying that with the exception Of the
Cumberland county Jail it was the best
kept Jail in the State-something that has
been unsaid for some time. The institution
has but IL prisoners at present. of whom
eight are kept at work fitting stove wood.
The county sold last month $50 worth OF
this fitted wood. They buy at sS per cord
and sell at 81 per foot, not trying to COM
pete with the local dealers. but supply
ing whatever demand is received for the
goods. The price asked gives just about
profit enough to pay for operating the
woodward annex.
The above matter being referred to
the Board Of Charities and Corrections,
attention was called by Sec. Bagley to
