BOSTON AND MAINE RAILROAD
Notice Concerning Change in Milk Rates
The Boston and Maine Railroad, subject to the approval of the public Authorities,
plaus to revise its charges for transporting milk, Some points have rates onlv by passenger
train service, others only by freight service, and some points by both. Where a freight
rate exists, it is three-fourths ofjhe passenger train rate. There are also variations”in
the rates at different points similarly situated.
The result of all tin's is to give much lower rates from Maine and Northern New Harnp- '
shire than from Vermont on shipments to Boston. For example, Foxcroft, Maine, 256
miles from Boston, has a leased car freight rate of $37 a day, while a shv.iia* shipment from
\ ergennes, Vermont, 213 miles from Boston, pays a passenger rate of $63.06 a day.
The management of the Railroad believes the freight rate should he abolished, and
that the passenger rates should be rearranged to give the same rate to localities similarly
situated. With that end in view it has prepared a new tariff lowering rates in some cases,
raising them in some others, and doing away with the freight rates in all.
IN CONSIDERING THE NEW RATES REMEMBER
1. The new rates are lower than those charged by other railroads entering
Boston, and lower than those into New York or any other large city which obtains
its milk from a distance.
2. No carload rate to any point within 165 miles cf Boston is increased.
Those between 75 and 150 miles are reduced to make the basis uniform.
3. The largest increase at any one point on the can rate to Boston, in baggage
car service, is two cents for an eight and one-half quart can; less than a quarter
of a cent a quart.
4. The longest journey of any leased car to-day is 234 miles. The largest
increase to Boston on the leased car rate of the large shippers is less than one
third of a cent a quart. This is for a distance of 300 miles. For shorter distances
this increase is smaller.
Cream retails at from three to six times the price of milk, this price being fixed on the
amount of butter fat it contains. Cream is now carried at the milk rate. If it is damaged
or spilled, the railroad must pay the owner the cream price. Because of this the new rate
for cream has been made one and one-half times the milk rate.

anything to him about remaining, and after a
few moments he proceded on his way. A. L.

coming and tried to pull Miss Babcock back,
but it was too late and she was struck by the
mud guard.

following original poem:
My friends, you may think a wee bit strange
How 1 came to be here in your grange.
Having heard of this contest waging high
I wanted to put a Anger in the pie,
So i.shi rpened my pencil,also my wits.
That I might defend some of these hits.
Now I will tell you, right here on the spot,
Of married people I think a whole lot.
Hearing of their jokes on a single brother,
Am just wond’ring to myself, whether,
When this bravely fought contest is o’er.
They’ll not respect us single ones more
Because we’ve dodged the darts of cupid
And are not sad or even stupid.
But, in their troubles, assistance we lend.
Their children we teach and oftentimes tend
In sickness, bathe fevered brow, deal out pills
For mumps, measles and all childhood ills;
We go to their homes when the cupboard is
bare
To make biscuit ard cookies with great care.
We sweep up the floor all neat and clean
And dust till not a speck can be seen.
Our single brothers have not been slow
In their deeds of kindness, as you all know;
The oak standing alone is stronger far
Than those in the deeper forest are.
It matters not whether married or single,
If with love to God and man our heart’s
atingle,
Methinks when we reach the pearly gate
At the close of life—at eventide late,
Married or single, they will never ask,
But, rather, how have you done the task
That was given you on earth below.
Have you helped sad hearts lighter to grow,
Have you used your talent in the Master's
name,
Or, lived for self alone and worldly fame.

lost mainsail and dory and is leaking. Was
caught in gale 200 miles northeast of Bermuda.
Boston, Sept 18. The four-masted Bchooner
Agnes Manning of Philadelphia, which ar
rived here Tuesday from Philadelphia with a
cargo of coal, has been sold for about $18,000
to Capt A Frankel of New York, and will be
delivered to her new owner as soon as her
cargo is unloaded. The Agnes Manning,
built at Camden, N J, in 1892, has been en
gaged almost exclusively in the coal-carrying
trade to Eastern ports. Under the new own
ership she will be placed in the off-shore trade.
From here she will proceed to Philadelphia to
load a cargo of case oil for Bordeaux, France.
Lubec. Sept 17. The three-masted schooner
Lanie Cobb went ashore on the outer end of

a cargo of coal for Calais, her home port. The
schooner's bow and stern were caught upon
the ledges and it seemed certain she would
break in two at low tide. The schooner Lanie
Cobb was built at Oakes's yard in Brewer in
1874 and her first captain was Capt Charles
Cobb of Brewer. Henry Lord of Bangor was
her managing owner until about 15 years ago,
when she was sold to Jonesport parties. She
was.of 243 tons gross and 300 tons net register.

organized with L. R. Hussey superintendent,
Mrs. Ruth L Paul, assistant superintendent,

will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from
! whence cometh my strength. My strength
cometh from the Lord.” Mr. Watt started
Tuesday morning for his home in New Hamp

where he attends the State University. There
