Carl Jean Tolman To Be
Coburn Musical Director
Principal Drew T. Harthorne of
Coburn announced Friday that Carl
Jean Tolman of Winthrop had been
appointed director ^pf music at
Coburn this year, ’tfhls tfill be good
news to the many friends of the
school, for Coburn is splendidly lo
cated and a thoroughly first class
music department will greatly add to
what the school can do for the im
mediate community and the state.
The fact that Mr. Tolman is to or
ganize and direct the work insures
its success.
Mr. Tolman is well known in
Maine as a successful and accom
plished musician. He was recently
for several years director of music
in Coker college, Hartsvilie. S. C.,
where his success was phenomenal,
the department becoming the best
of any college in the south. He has
held other important positions and
has always been successful.
The president of Judsofi college
in Alabama, where Mr. Tolman was
director of music, says: “Mr. Carl
Jean Tolman is all that could be de
sired as a director of music and as a
Christian gentleman." Wherever his
work has been his department has
rapidly increased. He has also done
concert work in various parts of the
country.
In taking up this work at Coburn.
Mr. Tolman will, no doubt, repeat
his former successes. As a teacher
of piano, organ, theory and compo
sition he will make the department
a fine addition to the work which the
school is doing.
SPECIMENS OF CHINESE
CRAFTSMANSHIP ADMIRED
Those who visited the Chinese
exhibit at Library hall Friday after
noon and evening were more than
repaid for their time and trouble
when they viewed the exquisite
Chinese embroidery. the hand
carved pieces and the beautiful
cloisonne ware that are displayed.
The exhibition will continue through
today and this evening during libra
ry hours and no doubt will be visit
ed by many who delight in beautiful
and fine things.
These wonderful pieces are not the
possession of a collector, but belong
to Mr. and Mrs. Arthur G. Robin
son, who have recently come from
Tien-Tsin, China, where the former
has lived for the past seven years.
Many of the articles are gifts which
have been made by grateful Chinese
friends to Mr. and Mrs. Robinson,
which makes them of double value
to their owners.
One beautiful cloisonne vase,
which in China would bring at least
J2D and in New York four or five
times that amount, is an object of
much interest, and a hand carved
rickshaw, complete. Containing an

An Abyssinian funeral is a very
singular affair. When a new-born
infant dies it is almost immediately
buried under the floor. After the
demise of an adult, the body is
| washed in water sweetened with
j honey, wrapped in a shroud, sewed
| up in a mat of braided straw, and
j laid upon a litter made of boughs
! cut from trees.
The lamentations of the relatives
resound among the cliffs, and the
I news is rapidly communicated to all
the people of the neighborhood, who
at once set out to condole with the
mourners.
As soon as they catch sight of the
funeral procession they begin to
weep and cry aloud. When they Join
it, the men range themselves on one
side of the bier, the women on the
other.^and chant. When the relig
ious ceremony ig over, the corpse
is buried in the churchyard.

Carnegio on Wealth
I was born in poverty and would not ex

est millionaire’s son who ever breathed
What does he know about mother or
father? These are mere names to him.
Give me the life of the boy whose mother
is nurse, seamstress, washerwoman, cook,
teacher, angel and ^saint all in one, and
whose father is guide, exemplar and friend
No servants to come in between. These
are the boys who are born to the best for
tune. Some men think that poverty is a
dreadful burden, and that wealth leads to
happinness. What do they know about it?
They only know one side; they imagine
the other. X have lived both, and I know
there is very little in wealth that can add
to human happiness beyond the small com
forts Of life. Millionaires who laugh are
very rare. My experience is that wealth is
apt to take the smiles away—Andrew

Naming1 by Gompers
of N. Y. Labor Council
New York, Sept. 10.—Poiice reserves
were called to a meeting in tlie Central
Opera house at midnight tonight to
suppress a disturbance which occurred
when Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor, an-'
nounced the selection of members of
a constitution committee for the newly
organized Central Trades’ and Labor
Council of Greater New York and vi
cinity.
The men named by Mr. Gompers to
draft the constitution for the new or
ganization were James 1*. Holland,
president of the State Federation, and
I’eter J. Brady.
The trouble started at the announce-!
ment of Brady’s name. Shouts arose,
and delegates swarmed toward the i
platform, overturning chairs and bran
dishing them in the air. Effort's to re
store order by President Gompers.
Hugh Frayne, Frank Morrison and
other members of the executive coun- ’
of the American Federation of La
bor who occupied seats on the plat
form were drowned in the tumult.
The police reserves forced their way j
into the hall, where they found one
deelegate, Herman Markel. a striking
painted, buried beneath a pile of
chairs. Markel told the police he had
been assaulted and robbed. Another
delegate sought safety on the stage,
shouting that he had been assaulted.
Several times before the police were
summoned disturbances broke out and
on one occasion President Gompers
called for "two or three six-foot labor
men’’ to assist in keeping Older.

Norwegian capitalists, who will con

properties, hate taken the name of
The Poland Manufacturing Co., un
der which they will do business in the
future.
The mil! of the Poland Paper Co.
has always manufactured a high
grade bond, ledger, writing and book
paper. This product will be continu
ed. as said.
QUEER METHODS OF FISHING
In Palestine They Do Not Use Nets
and Would Laugh at a Hook
and Line.
The modern Palestine dweller
tells us that he would now look in
vain for boats ‘'launching out into
the deep,” and working nets all
night in the Sea of Galileo. Not
that the fish have disappeared: they
are to he caught there in millions,
as also in the Jordan and Jabhoek;
but the Arabs, less accustomed to
systematic work than the Jews of
old. follow easier plans—-the simplest
of which is throwing poisoned bits
of meal cake into the water, and
then wading in to make a collec
tion, a custom of which no other na
tion is like to rob them.
Another way of doing the work is
by pelting the fish with stones, which
can be done very profitably when
the schools of yellow musht congre
gate. Some of the Bedouins, prob
ably taking example by travelers,
fire charges of small shot - among
them, and so got a bag: so thick are
these schools that it is even said
that a revolver bullet has been
known to kill three fish.
Hook and line may be found very
occasionally, but, as a rule, when
the practices above are not resorted
to, the fishing is done by -small dip
nets or large hand nets;, inf the form
er case the fishermen; sanding on
the banks, lower a kinfrof bird net
which can be closed by the pulling
of a rope, from racks or wooden plat
forms, and hauled up at intervals of
an hour or so. Where the hand net
is in use—it is a kind of cross be
tween a butterfly and shrimp net—
the fisherman wades in up to his
waist with a bag on his shoulder,
and is content to catch the fish one
or two at a time. The fish of the
Syrian waters are of many different
species, but few are peculiar to the
country.—Exchange.
HATCHERY INTERESTING
Large Exhibition of Ocean Products
at Local Establishment.
(Boothbay Register)
Th l- nited States Fish Hatchery at Mr
Known Point is proving even more of a
magnet this summer than ever before, hun
dreds of people visiting the plant weekly ta
enjoy the splendid exhibits of the products
of the deep. The hatchery is open to the
public at all times and the authorities in
charge are always pleased to show visitors
about and to explain the many and varied
specimens.
Perhaps the most interesting of all the
exhibits is the seal which is imprisoned >n
a large wooden cage with an ample tank at
the bottom. Adjoining this cage is an
aquarium in which basks a real shark, an
object of much curiosity and speculation
since the invasion of the man-eater several
years past. There is, an alligator, sent
from Florida by Percy G. Bishop and loan
ed to the hatchery by Miss Francis Harris
of this town.
Some of the unusual fish which have at
tracted much attention are the skate, the
ghost fish, the sculpin, the lump fish and
the shrimp. In one tank there is on dis
play a beautiful collection of sea anemone.
In various other tanks are exhibited fine
specimens of our staple food, fish—herring,
smelts, pollock, hake, alewives, cod, eels, cun
ners, lobsters, crabs, haddock and butter
fish.
The tanks containing the dogfish and sea
ravens are cause for much comment as
well as the exhibitions of turtles—one large
snapper and five small ones. A visit to our
hatchery is very tnuch worth while; no
more interesting spot may be found for
miles around.
VOTE OF WOMEN
(Continued from Page One)
is maintained among the towns where
registration will continue until elec
tion day. and reports to date indicate
that it is being maintained, the total
woman's registration for the State
will be about 93,000.
It is estimated that the total regis
tration in the 519 towns will be slight
ly In excess of 200.000 of which 68,000
will be women. This will bring the
total registration of men and women in
the State to approximately 295.000, as
compared with a registration in 1916
of approximately 190,000 of which
151,000 or T9 per cent, voted in the
State election.
Figures in Larger Cities
Examination of registration figures
in the larger cities tonight showed
6685 women as compared with 14.800
men in Portland; 3800 women as com
pared witli 5S80 men in Lewiston and
3286 women as compared with 6344
men in Bangor.
Political observers believe that the
addition of a considerable women's
vote will be even more important than
indicated by the figures because of a
conviction that in this first election
the woman’s vote will be close to 100
per cent, of the registration.
Polities of Many Not Known
The situation so far as forecasting
with any certainty the way the women
will vote on next Monday Is complicat
ed by the failure of a great number of
those who have registered to declare
their party affiliation. Many of them
evidently do not intend to c-nroll in any
party before the caucuses for the mu
nicipal elections beginning in Novem
ber. m
Women have never been eligible to
vote at any election in Maine until en
franchised by the ratification of the
federal suffrage amendment last
month.

(Continued from Page One)
Senator Harding’s front porch today
and pledged him their support in
several hours of characteristic dem
onstration and oratory.
Promises Help
In response the Republican nomi
nee made two speeches praising the
loyalty and attainments of the na
tion's negro citizens, and, promising
that the Federal government “will
not fail the American negro,” he
asked that they make service to
country the everyday standard of
their citizenship and declared hie ab
horrence of the use of “brutal and
unlawful violence" against the blank
race or any other class.
Hears Leaders’ Pleas
In several private conferences.
Senator Harding also heafd the
grievances of various negro leaders
and assured them that he would
make a careful study of the situa
tion. Lynching and segregation of
negroes in federal service, were two
of the things for suppression of
which the visitors made a particular
plea.
Campmeeting Spirit
Conventions of negro Baptists in
session at Columbus and Indianapolis
sent the largest delegations and a
campmeeting spirit ruled the day’s
celebration. The. first group came up
singing “Harding Will Shine Tonight”
in parody of a revival hymn, and
“Amens” and “Hallelujahs” flowed
heavenward with "Oh. Boy’s” and
“You Tell ’Em’s" as the succession of
orators poured out their professions
of loyalty, to the party of Lincoln and
Grant.
Henry Lincoln Johnson. Republican
National committeeman for Geprgta.
headed the group from the National
Baptist convention at Columbus.
whiclk-afTived during the morning and
was the first to be addressed by the
nominee. The afternoon speech was
to representatives ot the National
Baptist convention, w^ich is meeting
in Indianapolis, the National Equal
Rights League, the African Methodist
Episcopal Church and the Methodist
Episcopal church.
Besides Johnson, those who made
speeches included the presidents of
both of the conventions. William H.
Lewis of Boston, a former assistant
attorney-general; Charles Cottrill of
Toledo, former collector of Internal
Revenue at Honolulu: Mrs. Thos. W.
Fleming of Cleveland, head of the
Colored Women's Bureau of the Re
publican National Committee, and
Hattie Q. Brown, president of the Na
tional Federation of Colored Women’s
Clubs.
A prayer opened the afternoon
meeting which had lasted nearly two
hours before Senator Harding was
reached on the program or speakers.
Other speeches followed his, and
then the visitors flocked up the front
steps of the Harding residence and
kept the candidate busy for half'an
hour shaking hands.
Two hundred thousand votes from
negro women were promised the-Sen
ator by the women speakers, one of
whom praised his stand for party
government and said the women of
her race would claim representation
in the government in proportion to
their number.
At both the morning and afternoon
celebrations. General Pershing, an
overnight guest at the Harding
home, was an added attraction that
helped stir the enthusiasm of the
visitors. To each crowd he made a
short speech praising the service of
negro soldiers in the war. but not
touching on political subjects.
One of those who conferred with
the Senator during the day was Wil
liam Monroe Trotter of Boston, ex
ecutive secretary of the .National
Equal Rights League. He asked that
segregation of negro employees of
the Federal government be abolished
and declared afterward that the nom
inee had given the request appreci
ative consideration.
Tomorrow morning Senator Hard
ing will speak to delegates of busi
ness men from Chicago, Detroit and
Indiana cities and is expected to
make one of the most important
speeches of his campaign, outlining
his stand on business issue and his
ideas for after-war financial recon
truction.
Two brothers were discussing
which of the parents worked the
harder. Johnny claimed that the
fathers did. fon. they worked all day
in the office and were always busy
getting ready for business trips. Jack
replied that the mothers worked all
day. too, and couldn't stop at six
o’clock like fhe fathers did. but had
to keep right on working.
CHICAGO PROBE
(Continued from P»8* °ne)
night when Senator Edge, Republican,
issued a formal statement, assert! g
that the Democrats had failed to su -
stantiate Governor Cox’s charges an
Senator Reed. Democrat, asserted that
any expression of opinion at a
time “is indecent.”
Senator Reed asked that Charles
Fiez, former president of Ul®.Em* '
gency Fleet Corporation, and now
chairman of the Republican Ways and
Means Committee in Chicago be sub
poenaed for tomorrow to tell of tne
fund drive in Chicago. The
senator also asked that William *
leg, Jr., and Frederick Courtney Bar
bour, the latter of whom is a *b00 a
week director of the Chicago drive,
be summoned. , .. ^ ..
Toflav’s testimony showed that the
practice of Republican state *.°r**;™
of boosting the quotas assigned t
by the national committee was gen
eral in many states.
Treasurer Upham Recalled
Mr. Upham. recalled to the stand,
said he took full responsibility for
the defunct plan outlined in “Form
101° to set aside Chairman Hays
limit of *1.000 on contributions and
substitute a limit of *10,000. The
national ways and means commit
tee. however, vetoed the proposal, lie
said.
Mr. Upham defended the work of
Harry M. Blair and other former Y.
M. C. A. secretaries who are his as
sistants.
“You assume responsibility for the
.‘Psalm-singers’ ?’’ Senator Pomerene
asked.
* Proud of Campaigners
"I do and I am proud of the work
my ex-Y. M. C. A. campaigners are
doing,” said Mr. Upham. “I believe
that in the showing here of results
I could, as a business man. get the
job of raising the Democratic cam
paign fund, and when they re-or
ganize their finances I think they
will adopt our system.”
He pointed out that hitherto the
east has always paid the bills of both
parties. “But. up to date, two-thirds
of our funds have come from what
New York considers ‘the west.’ ” he
said. “The fact, I think, is a pretty
good argument that we are getting
away from what is called ’Wall street
| influence’ about which we have
j heard so much here.”
Moore is Recalled
E. H. Moore, Governor Cox’s per
; sonal representative, was recalled to
the stand and asked concerning re
ports that liquor interests in Ohio
had supported the Democratic nomi
nee in the gubernatorial campaign
| four years ago and the charges that
[ New Jersey liquor dealers were rais
ing funds to assist the Democratic
candidate this year. Mr. Moore de
nied any knowledge of the charges
and said the use of his name in a
prospectus of the association op
posed to*national prohibition was un
authorized. He asked if Senator
Spencer, his questioner, was “at
tempting to inject a wet and dry is
sue into the Presidential campaign.”
I "The fact that I am known as a
strong anti-prohibitionist is of no
more significance than the fact that
George- White, chairman of the
Democratic National committee, ad
vocated and voted for prohibition
when, in Congress” Mr. Moore said!
i He characterized the Anti-Saloon
League as a Republican organization
and said that Wayne B. Wheeler, its
general counsel, and other leaders
were Republicans.
