The scheme adopted is said to have originated with the new Premier, David Lloyd George, and includes the withholding or all news of the arrival end leav- ing of steamships from American ports, changing the route of steam ships of the White Star and Cunard Lines and operating them between Liverpool and Halifax, and the arm ing ot all steamships.
 Italian line vessels, it is stated, will follow the same scheme, and it is believed the French line will do the same. though it was stated a; the offices here that ao order had been received to refrain from pub fishing news of the movements of vessels.

The verdict in the case of George Stevens against the Chichagotf Min ing Company simply was a decision that although he had been injured in an accident, that was not in dispute under the provisions of the compensation act, he could recover nothing, as since his recovery there is no percentage of total disability or capacity to earn wages.

HUCK FINN IS DEAD

The original of 'HEckleberry Finn" has died in obscurity and, what is far worse, in poverty. A man ca pablo of inspiring so great work of fiction as the celebrated 'sAdven- lures" ought in his old age to have been supported in luxury, if he cared for 1t. from the proceeds of that un- fAi;inE popular book. As a matter of melancholy fact, his declining years were passed in the county alms- house at Paris, Miss Barney Earth ing was his name, outside the pages of romance, and he lived to the ripe age of 80, having been born in 1898, the year after his boyhood friend first drew breath in the town of Florida, near Paris. But so closely was he identified with the hero of the above mentioned adventures that for years he had answered to the name of Huck Finn as often as to his own. An original genius in later life as he had been during the eventful. earlier period chronicled by his friend, he made the coffin in which he was bur- ied-made it in protest against the outrageous prices of the coffin trust.''

PRINCE EUGENE

According to most military histor- ians. the five greatest generals Of modern Europe were Napoleon, We'll ington, Marlborough, Frederick the Great, and Prince Eugene. The last great military service of the latter was performed just two centuries ago, when he commanded the Vene- tians and Austrians who defeated the
 Turks. It was in August of l717 that Prince Eugene advanced against Belgrade, and was there assailed by a vastly superior army of Turks. AL
 though outnumbered six to one, Eu- gene inflicted upon the Ottomans the
 greatest disaster that had ever be- fallen them, and captured the city. Prince Eugene of Savoy was born in Paris in 1863, and died in Vienna on April 27, 1736, just 181 years ago to-
 day. Having been refused a com- mand by Louis XIV, he left France and entered the service of Austria.
 While still young man he com manded an Austrian army which ex terminated a large Turkish force,
 winning one of the greatest victories of the age. He fought this battle in violation of the orders of the Aus trian commanders. who were as in- competent then as now, and was for a. time held under arrest. In 1704 he joined Marlborough, and shared with the great English leader the glory of Blenheim. Prince Eugene was a wise statesman as we'll as great soldier. He hated the Hohenzollerns, and re- peatedly warned the Austrian Em- peror against encouraging the growth of Prussia, and against conferring on the Hohenzollerns the royal title He urged an alliance with France, thus the policy of Kaunitz. The funeral of Prince Eugene was one of the most magnificent in all history, sixteen field marshals carry ing the coffin, and the Emperor at-
 tending as a private mourner.

A FAMOUS PHRASE
 AND ITS AUTHOR

During any political campaign one familiar phrase often appears in the public rrints and has frequently bnen heard on the hustings-"Govern of the people, by the people, and for the people," It's authorship is yet widely attributed to Abraham Lincoln, from whose lips it fell on the battle
 field of Gettysburg, Nov. 19, 1863. That other speakers and writers used it before MT. Lincoln did is conceded by competent critics; but where did they find it? This question is answer ed as by authority in a book issued last year by Dr. Frank H. Vizetelly, entitled Essentials of English Speech and Literature." On page 38 of the book Doctor Ziztelly says of Wycliffe:
 ''He entered Queens college, Oxford, in 1S40, and in 1872 took the degree of doctor of divinity. Wycliffes great

One discovers a certain charm and quality in reading the small town corraspondent's contribution to the shire town weekly that cannot be found in the city daily. There is more light and shadow to it, more depth and height.

It has been re- marked that the b1uejays have been more numerous than ever before all winter, and crows have been seen every month. At the recent town meeting it was voted to restore the old pound, which is one of Rowe's points Of interest, built over 100 years ago, and has gradually fallen to de- cay.
