Me., May 2.—The niem bers of the fishing party of Dr. lieber Bishop of Boston, which is in camp at Clearwater pond, has had excellent luck in its \ authority of the Democratic party. 'i'll-; Roselmd Indian reservation bill and the sundry civil bill were again considered but not completed. Cockrell. Missouri, offered an amend ment to tlie sundry civil appropriation I l*i!l providing that the exposition should be opened to visitors on May 1.! although the dedication of th« government building should be held not later than the 30th of April. 1903.1 The papers an 1 amendment were re ferred to the committee on appropria tions. At th** conclusion of routine business nf the Senate the resolution offered by Patterson (Col.) requesting the President to cause Major Gardener to come tc Washington immediately was laid before tile Se.Mt... The resolution went over. 1 he hill to ratify an agreement with tno h>!'i4. The amendment of Platt (Ct.) to th« Rosebud reservation bill striking out the 1 provision of ihe bill providing for free l’.emes on th, “that the Charlotte Observer opposed the flection of Win. J. Bryan to the presidency?" “That is true,” replied Pritchard, “but the paper opposed him politically on the issue of free silver.” Pritchard said he was in favor of tin prompt and speedy punishment of those guilty of cruelty in the Philippines, but the charges had nothing to do with tie.* measure, which provided merely for a ivll administration in the Philippines. Pritchard declared his belief that the Pnited States ought to retain t?ie islands permanently. He discussed at considera ble length the j oliticai situation of North Carolina and recited what he d nounced as “outrages" that had been perpetrated, he declared, by the Dem*' t mts of North Carolina on Republican voters. He said he did not think a ma jority f the Democrats of the state ap proved of such outrages and likewise did not think that the isolated eases of out rage and torture in the Philippines should he cited as arguments against the Re publican policy in toe islands. Simmons replied to some of the sugges ti ns by Pritchard as to North Carolina politics, and jusihied the “white people in protecting themselves against irre sponsible majorities." Pritchard asserted that the “sand cure" was used by Democrats in North Caro lina on Republicans. He said that a Re publican voter had been taken from his home at night and beaten, his face be ing crushed into toe sand to stille his cries. Simmons declared that this was the first time It* ever had heard of the “sand cure." For six years he harl been the ehairmrn of the Democratic executive committee of North Carolina and he nev er had known of any cases of outrage and violence for political purposes. Pritchard inquired if it were not a fact that organized bands of “red shirts" rode over th' .state of N rth Carolina for the purpos** of terrorizing the Republican voters. “That irganizati in,'* (the red shirts) rc plied Simmons, “never had for its ob ject nr bellicose purpos** toward anv part of the voters of North Carolina, it is mi rely an organization for the purpose of more effectually organizing tin* voters of the state” (prolonged laughter on the floor and in the galleries). “Does my colleague say.” inquired Pritchard, “that the red shirts did not rid* through the state and terrorize vot ers?” I state." declared Simmons, “upon my authority as a senator and as chairman of th Democratic executive committee that the stories of outrages committed by red shirts are absolutely and utterly! without fo mdation. i know of no out- j rages that can he traced t>» that organ ization." He dei in red that not a single red shirt ever liad been arraigned f*T a violation o: law. Pritchard asserted that an emissary of the Democratic party in North Carol ini had approached him. promising that if hf Judge Thomas \V. Wise of the Bangor court. SiVice that time her father and mother have separated and tier mother has remarried. For some time Bessie has been indentured to It. \V. Goodwill of Newport. On Tuesday afternoon of this week, she left Mr. Goodwill's house and walked to Ban gor. a distance of -7 miles, arriving at the home of her mother, Mrs. Ellis, in Willow street, Bangor, about 2 o'clock Wednesday morning. Whatever story she told her mother caused that lady to consult Mr. Robin -un. who had before acted for her in seeking to obtain Bessie's release from ihe school. On Thursday afternoon. Steward Wight of the institution lo cated the girl and wanted her to return with him to Hallowell. The lawyer was consulted by the girl's mother and he said she should not be taken back until after ihe law had been invoked in her behalf. Thereupon the officers to (lie girl before Judge Bailey and dur ing Ihe hearing the criticism above re ferred to was made. After a full in vestigation Judge Bailey decided that she should return with the officer, which she did, arriving at the school on the night train. VChily the hearing was in progress Lawyer Robinson stated that, though Bessie had made her own living while there and had over $Kio in the bank to her credit, she had but a single suit of underclothing to wear and that the offi cials of the school would not allow her to get more. He again stated that he didn’t think much of the Industrial School, believing that it fell far short of accomplishing the purpose for which it was designed. He then quoted a prominent Maine man who had worked hard for the establishment of the school, as having said it would be a good thing if it could be blown to king dom come. Bessie diil not want to return, saying lo Mr. Robinson: “I don't want to go back there. They'll beat and abuse me and cut off my hair. Don't let them take me back!" Then the officer assured her that sh» would not be punished and that her hair would not be cut off. According to the records of the insti tution the girl will be 20 years old in July, this being according to the date of her birth as given by her father when she was committed. Her mother claims that she will be 21 in July. Mrs. Mary E. King, principal of the school, was seen by a Journal represen tative, last evening, and made the fol lowing statement: "Bessie Martin has been living with Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Goodwin of New port. At different times her father and her mother called upon her there. A sister who is married, but is not living witn her husband, came to Mrs. Good win's and was there nearly a week. Mrs. Goodwin wrote me that she liked Bessie very much, but she objected to the company she had. So. Tuesday, I went over to Newport and had some talk with Bessie. She said she would return with me to the school. I asked her to pack her trunk while we were taking dinner. She went out. and the little bov asked her where she was go ing and she said lo bid her sister good by. The sister had a day or two be fore obtained employment at a near neighbor's. When the boy told me she had gone to seb her sister 1 followed, because 1 feared the sister might inllu en. e her not to return with me. I did not find Bessie there. I then asked the assistance of the sheriff. He searched the house where Bessie's sister was and lie roll Id not find her. I took the train to Bangor, notified the city marshal of the matter and returned to Hallowell. "Wednesday morning. Mr. Goodwin telephoned me that he had located R"s Sie at a farmhouse between Newport and Etna. The steward of the school. Mr. Wight, left for Bangor on Wednes day morning's train, and, Thursday afternoon, located Bessie at her mother's home in Bangor. “Bessie knew better than to say that she was afraid to come back for fear her hair would be cut off. because she knew that that kind of punishment had been abolished. Bessie has always been treated kindly and is one of the girls whose name is on the roll of honor. She now acknowledges that she did wrong in attempting to escape, j am con vinced that she was unduly influenced to run away by her relatives. "She has a trunk full of good clothing, as good as any working girl of her age. She has not $120 in the bank, as has been stated, but she has $21 to her credit in tile Hallowell Savings Insti tution. Bessie says she is sorry for what she has done and feeia that she has disgraced herself and the school. I was simply doing my duty as princi pal of the school in bringing Bessie back to Hallowell." Mrs. King was somewhat reluctant to make any statement for publication comerning the natter, but finally con sented lo do so, in the interest of the school, believing that the stories of the (Continued on page 2.)

Clyde, N Y., May 2.—Tin- New York Central fast mail No. 3, west bound, collided with a fast freight going in .the opposite direction, a quarter mile west of the station here, at 5 P. M.. killing the engineer and fireman of tin mail and seriously injuring 13 mail clerks. The dead are: John Grant, engineer, Syracuse; jumped, head crushed, killed instantly. V. m. K.

Wright, Itochester; Ar thur Underhill, Norwalk, Ohio; and John Pitts, Corry, Pa. The fast freight was going east on track No. 1. but crossed over to No. 2 to permit an eastbaund passenger train in pass. When it started to cross back the mail approached at a speed of 50 miles an. hour and before its speed could be checked the two engines col lided. They were torn to pieces and hurled into the air by the force of the impact. The first mail car and six freight cars were crushed to pieces and the cars of both trains badly damaged. The crew of the freight jumped in time, but Grant and Noxon were killed by leap ing. The mail clerks were tossed about and all were seriously injured, most of them internally, many terribly bruised. Assistance was summoned from Sy racuse and the injured were cared for there. Tile towerman did not see the freight crossing and gave the mail a clear track. It is said that the freight crew should have waited for the mail to pacs, knowing that it was due. THE WOMAN'S CLUBS Listen to Reports of Officer's and View Floral Parade. Los Angeles, Cal..

Various committee reports and re ports of foreign clubs were read and at 11 o'clock the convention adjourned to witness the floral parade. The political feature of the Club Wo men's convention is the withdrawal, to night. of' Mrs. Cohort J. Burdette of California from the presidential race. This assures the election of Mrs. Deni son of New York to that office. Following the morning session, when an attempt made by a Massachusetts delegate to precipitate the color ques tion fell flat, the club women took a re cess to view the flower parade. Mrs. Lowre rode in a victoria decorated with 3000 pink •V’oses. and was accompanied by Mrks Jessie Fremont, daughter of the Pathfinder, and attended by eight outriders in white flannel.

PAINE S CELERY COMPOUND. THOUSANDS OF PHYSICIANS, MEN AND WOMEN OF NOTE AND POSITION, AND PEOPLE IN HUM3LER CIRCUM STANCES SAY IT IS UNEQUALED AS A SPRING MEDICINE. A Prominent Business Man Saved from Nervous Prostration. It is by true merit, and true merit alone, that Paine's Celery Compound has won its wondrous popularity in every part of the civilized world. When all other medicines fail, when the best directed efforts of physicians accomplish but little for the banishing of desperate diseases. Paine's Celery Compound saves life and restores health. It is natural, therefore, that men and i women saved from the’ perils and dan gels of nervous diseases, rheumatism. I neuralgia, and blood troubles, should acquaint their friends—the sick and I well—of what was accomplished for 1 them by Paine's Celery Compound. In this way the glad tidings of prompt and effectual cures have been spread Horn day to day to the remotest towns and villages, and the blessed work of i life saving progresses in every direc tion. One of the most remarkable cures of j tecent years effected by Paine’s Celery i 'ompouml. is the case of Mr. Wyan Nelson. President of the Nelson Grain 'o.. of Kansas City. Mo. With intense gratitude and thankfulness, Mr. Nelson writes as follows: "i was nervous, despondent, Irritable, had no appetite, could not sleep, anil had night sweats. My physicians said I was threatened with nervous prostra tion, and advised a rest from business. However, on the recommendation of my partner, I commenced using Paine’s Celery Compound, and today I am as sound ns a dollar, eat well, sleep well, and ant not at all nervous.” DIAMOND DYES give faster and brighter colors than any other dyes.

BUSINESS OUTLUUK Better Weather Has Acted as a General Incentive. The Wholesalers Securing Re-orders, Resulting from Retail Activity. Cotton High and Firm—Wool Dull in East—Canadian Conditions. New York, May 2.—Bradstreets, to morrow, will say: More seasonable weather throughout wide areas has helped distribution at retail and im proved re-order business with whole salers. Agricultural operations have made good progress and weather con ditions have been in the main favor able, particularly to the eastern por tion of the winter wheat belt, the oat crop generally, the newly planted spring wheat sections and the larger part of the cotton belt. Exceptional activity continues in all industrial lines, and the usual May day unrest were manifested in the building trades, has taused less than ordinary interruptions to operations, partly, perhaps, because of the ready concessions made by em ployers. Activity in building continues a feature of note, and all lines of in dustry contributing thereto. New business in iron and steel is generally in small lots, because sup plies will not admit of large deliveries. In textiles the feature is the con tinued strength of raw cotton despite heavy realizing on the sharp advance, which brought spot cotton, early in tile week close up to 10 cents. Despite the realizing, however, prices closed higher for the week, and the feeling is that the hull market has not yet culminated. Exports continue heavy, larger in fact than port receipts, and visible supplies show a further shring age, although the old crop movement has put minimum estimates out of sight and the final yield, it is conceded, will exceed 10,000,000 bales. Wool is dull at the East, reflecting the curtailed consumption and irregu larity due to strikes. Outside manu facturers are reaping profits. Small stocks at Eastern points are a steady ing element in view of the lack of de mand. but at the West buying is heavy iit slightly higher prices than a year ago. It lias been a weather market for cereals, good crop advices early in ducing liquidation. The primary move ment of grain is very small for the season. Shipments, of shoes from Eastern points are still shrinking. Agricultural produce is on the whole steady. Hog products are higher on the week. Dairy products, particularly butter, arc lower. Eggs have been shaded again and potatoes have decreased in price, but are still very heavy owing to small supplies. Large exports of cereals are looked for shortly and manufactured products are moving abroad very freely. All obtainable measures of April trade point to it having been a satis factory month. Wheat, including flour, exports for the week aggregate 5.3X0,155 bushels, against 3,750,589 bushels, last week, and 5,100,763 bushels in this week, last year. Corn exports aggregate 128,679 bushels, tigainst 376.1S6 bushels, last week, and 2,371,502 bushels, last year. Hank clearings for the week ending with May 1 aggregate $2,572,025,676, a decrease of -1 per cent, from last week's total. Business failures for the week num ber 171, as against 181, last week, 162 In lids week of last year. Canadian failures for the week num bered 22 against 20 last week, and 17 a year ago. New York, May 2.—It. O. Pun Co's. Weekly Itevicw of Trade, tomor row, will say of Canadian trade: The wholesale business at Kt. John is slower than in recent weeks, but retail trade ill some lines is active. Weather has been favorable for lumber operations and good prices are secured. Early opening of spring has advanced agri cultural pursuits at Halifax and min ing operations are active with business generally hi fair shaps. Toronto re ports wholesale trade fairly good Building material Is in active demand with hardware and metals moving freely. Retailers report business fair for the season at Hamilton and there is activ ity in wholesale trade and among man ufacturing concerns. Provision prices are advancing. Opening of canals will dispatch large quantities of heavy goods at Montreal to up river points. Retail trade is retarded by cool and damp weather, but wholesalers have a fair sorting business. Spring trade in shoes is about over and leather is quiet except for export. R. - a reduction of Cuban sugar duties, would the buyer get the full benefit of it. or any part of it?” The witness: "The buyer would not get any part of the benefit. The re duction would not make any difference in the purchase price. The benefit would accrue to the Cuban seller, the holder of the sugar. The experience with Porto Rican sugar, which comes in free, justifies that conclusion.” Mr. Mott had not concluded his tes timony when the committee adjourned until Monday. THE NOBLE LORD ROSSLYN Puts Himself in a Most Humiliating Position Before the World. London. May 2.—In the House of Lorils, today, the earl of Kosslyn, who served with Thorneycroft’s Horse in South Afriea, acted as war correspond ent for a newspaper, played on the theatrical stage and recently attempt ed to win large sums of money on a system itt a popular gambling place, questioned the government on the sub ject of money distributed to British prisoners of war at Pretoria early in 1900 by the late Adalbert S. Hay, when he was United States consul tit Pre toria. The earl said he had a personal interest in the matter, since, if the money was intended as a gift he was entitled to a share of it, as a prisoner of war. The under secretary of war. Lord Rglan, replied that no particular sug gestions in regard to the distribution of the money were sent to Mr. Hay. The money was merely an advance, as it was presumed the prisoners would be in want of money. It was left to Mr. Hay to dispose of the funds as it seemed best to him. Certain civilians, '’including the noble earl, who raised the question” had been recipients of the funds. Lord Rosslyn having intimated that he considered the money to be a gift, the war secretary, Lord Lansdowne, with some warmth, remarked that the money was intended as an advance to officers and that the amounts paid to civilians were paid on the understand ing that they would be refunded. Other recipients more entitled to public gen erosity had repaid the money Without complaint. Lord ltosslyn had been applied to for re-payment, by the government, "which did not know its man.” The noble lord replied that it was scanda lous to ask for repayment and refused to recoup the government. The war secretary was surprised that Lord Rosslyn should wish to have the fact proclaimed. Lord Rosslyn, In reply', claimed that his position was entirely right; but if the war office wanted the £25. ($l£0j advanced to him it could have it. JEWELS RECOVERED. Fifty Thousand Dollars Worth of Stol en Stuff Restored to Owner. New York.

Howard's trial on the charge of desertion, was delayed owing to his being used as a civilian scout under Gen. J. Franklin Hell in the latter's campaign against the insurgents in Uatangas province.

How Many Are Cured. t A gorgeous costume flashed beneath the brilliant lights of a ball room. The queen of society is radiant to-night. The nervous hands of a weak woman have toiled day and night, the weary form and aching head have known no rest, for the dress had to be finished in time. To that queen of society and her dressmaker we would say a word. 0Me through hothouse ciiliiuv, luxury ami social excitement, and the other through the toil of necessity, uiay some (lay find their ailments a common cause.

Dear Sir:—There was a young man by the name of Bert Fogg, drowned in the Messalonskee stream just above where your company takes their water mpply for the city. I was out of town it the time, hut am told there was quite an amount of complaint made ibout having the body remain in the water. One of our most prominent •itizens just told me that he heard more than fifty people say they would iot use the water unless the body was ecovered. The city marshal procured grapples. akes and other things, and did what V could, but more than 24 hours passed in this way without result. The marshal then sent for a diver and the mily was found. The Whole biil amounts to $93.2.7 which 1 think the Water Company should pay as the work was dote wholly for the benefit of its patrons. I understand the man's relatives are Jtiable to pay, and can do nothing about it. Marshal Farrington had a alk with Mr. Hall, the superintendent f your company here and he told him hat ho thought the company would do what was right in the matter. I present this matter for your con sideration. and await your reply, be ieving you will do what would have ippeared light to you-at the time. Yours truly, Martin Blaisdell, Mayor. May 1. 1902. Hon. Martin Blaisdell, Mayor, City of Waterville, Maine. Dear Sir:—I have your letter of 29th April, stating the particulars of the (s overy of the body of Albert Fogg who was recently drowned in the Messalonskee. As you state that your city incurred in expense of $93.25 and, in explanation therefor, that it was wholly for the benefit of our patrons, I herewith en losc our company’s cheque for that amount. Very respectfully, Maine Water Company, By Samuel fc. Manley, President and General Manager. “Getting Into the Game.” The trustees of the Kennebec Water District met at the office of H. D. Eaton, yesterday afternoon, to discuss ways and means for providing a new water supply- for the city. Mr. Eaton was in New York, the other day. and while there met William It. Hill, a con sulting engineer of wide reputation. Mr. Hill has not been in his usual health of late and has thereby obtained i leave of absence. Mr. Eaton proposed that he come to Waterville and spend his time looking over the situation here and deciding on the best source of sup ply for the city's water system. This fitted with Mr. Hill's plans and he con sented to come. At the meeting of the trustees, yes terday, Mr. Eaton's engagement of Mr. Hill was confirmed, so he is coming. Mr. Hill is now chief engineer of New York City's water system and held the same office at Syracuse when the sys tem there was being reconstructed a few- years ago, hence he Is especially fitted for making a selection from among the many possibilities and of giving Waterville the advantage of the best of expert opinion.

THE PRESIDENT Presents Diplomas to Fifty eight Naval Cadets. His Address Full of Good Advice and Caution for the Future. Personally Visits Sick Cadet and Hands Him His Diploma. Annapolis, Md., May 2.—The special train conveying: President Roosevelt and party to Anna polls to attend the graduating exercises at the Naval Academy, arrived here, at 9.45 o’clock this morning, over the Pennsylvania Railroad. As the President alighted from the train he was received by Supt. Wain wright and his aide, Lieutenant H. J. Ziegemier. A battalion of marines un der command of Captain Lucas was drawn up at the station. The party proceeded in carriages to the academy grounds, the President going directly to the superintendent's house where there was a short wait to permit the assembling of the cadet battalion at the chapel. The President walked across the campus to where the cadets were lined up and passing down the line looked each cadet squarely in the face. He was then presented to the officers of the academy by Commander Wain wright. While this was going on tin shore batteries fired the President's sa lute of 21 guns. At the found of a bugle blast the cadets stacked guns and with a precision that bore evidence of the discipline which they have to un dergo marched by fours to the chapel where the benediction was pronounced l>y the chaplain, lit the meantime the President had been escorted down tin aisle by Commander Wainwright and was shown to his scat on the platform, the battalion of cadets, tin- officers and others receiving tin* President stand ing. Commander Wainwriglit thvn intro duced Ln*. George T. Winston, a mem ber of the board of visitors, who de livered a short address in which he spoke of the navy as being the most important factor in the eountrie’s his tory. He was loudly applauded when He referred to Dewey as the hero of Manila and Sampson as the hero of Santiago and at the conclusion of Ids remarks was congratulated by the President. A great crowd gathered around the grand stand where the cadets were to receive at the hands of the President tile diplomas which would make them officers in the United States navy. The graduating class discarded their guns and acoutrements anil advanced close to the platform. President Roose velt then addressed them, his remarks frequently being interrupted by' ap plause. Following is the President’s address: ln receiving these diplomas you be come men who, above almost any others of the entire Union, are to carry henceforth the ever-present sense of re sponsibility- which must come with the knowledge that on some tremendous day it may depend upon your courage, your preparedness, your keen intelli gence and knowledge of your profes sion whether or not the nation is again to write her name on the world's roll of honor or to know the black shame of defeat. \\V, all of us, earnestly hope that the occasion for war may never come, but if it has to come then this nation must win; and the prime factor in securing vic tory over any foreign foe must of necessity be the United States navy. If the navy fails us then we are doomede to defeat, no matter what may be our material wealth or the> high average of our citizenship. It should, therefore, be an object of prime im portance for every patriotic American to see that the navy constantly is built up and above all that it is kept to the highest j>oint of efficiency both in ma terial and in personnel. It cannot be too often repeated that in modern war and especially in mod ern naval war, the chief factor in achieving triumph is what has been done in the way of thorough prepara tion and training l»efore the beginning of the war. It is what has been done before the outbreak of war that is all Imports nt. After the outbreak all that can be done is to use to the best advantage the great war engines and seamanship, marksmanship and general practical efficiency which have already been pro vided by the forethought of the na tional Legislature and by the adminis trative ability, through a course ol years, of the r.avy department. A bat tleship cannot be improvised. It take? years to build and the skill of the offi cers and crew in handling it aright can likewise never be improvised but must spring from use anil autual sea-service and from the most careful, zealous and systematic training. Yon to whom I give these diplomas now join the ranks of the officers of the United States navy. Y'cu enter a glori ous service, proud of Its memories of renown. You must ever keep in your mind the supreme hour which may come when what you do will forever add to or detract from this renown. Some of you will have to do your part in helping construct the ships and the guns which you use. You need to bend every energy toward making these ships and guns In all their details the most perfect of their kind throughout tile world. The ship must ls» seaworthy, the armament litted for the best protection to guns and men, the guns in all their mechanism fit to do the greatest pos sible execution in the shortest possible time. Kvery detail must be thought out far in advance, and the thought carefully executed in the actual work.

After luncheon the President and the party went aboard the torpedo boats Talbot and Gwynn and were taken for a short trip on Chesapeake bay. The submarine boat Holland was lying out in the stream and after saluting the President the officers and men of. the Holland went below and instantly she was seen to disappear slowly under the water and proceeded under her full speed of eight knots. While submerged she fired a torpedo which could be plainly seen rapidly moving through the water. The performance of the boat so interested the President that he was led to inquire: “How do they breathe or do they breathe at all?"

Culberson Is Sarcastic Over Instituting Republican Forms in the Islands. Washington. May 2.—General MacAr thur was interrogated, today, by Senator i L'ulberson «»f Texas, in a rather ironical vein at the hearing before the Philippic committee. The g *neral had referred to the advantage of implanting republican institutions in the island. Mr. Culberson asked if the declaration of independence and the constitution were not the foundation of our republican *U” stitutions. Gen. MacArthur answered that the whole constitutional history of the country with the preceding Knglisii history, together with the declaration ot independence and the constitution, had to be considered. Mr. Culberson took up each of the prin cibles ot republican institutions, free speech, free* press, self-government, trial by jury, etc., and asked In.w far this had beep implanted in the Philippines.

Baiir, whose 'Lectures on Taste’ may still be had of the Edinburgh second-hand book-sellers lor a sum n wouiu oc generous to state in figures.” Addison said: “Literary taste is the ‘acuity whit h discerns the beauties of an author with pleasure and the im perfections with delight. If a man would know whether he is possessed of this faculty I would have him read Ovor the celebrated works of antiquity hii h have stood the test of so many different ages and countries.” "i hat seems simple enough. Let us who side with Addison: Hume, tootiie, Eckermann, Matthew Arnold— to mention a few. If the originals are impossible, good translations will do. Did not Emerson favor translations? Respect tradition, but do not respect traditionally. Landor was reckless as well as fearless when he said: “We admit*? by tradition and we criticise by caprico." Mr. Hirrell hammers in a sounder nail when he says: “Tradi tion is the most trustworthy adver tisement and the wisest advice." Ap ply to these conditions a strong under standing and a delicate sentiment, and the road will fork before you—the good books paving the way to one side and the bad books to the other. Xow, it may be too much to assume that these requisite conditions will ever generally exist. That leaves the question as it was found. That lias been a stcile discussion which results in concurrence in Mr. Uirrell’s opinion that “if you manage to live just a little above the clouds and mists of your own generation, why then, with luck, you may be right nine times out of ten in your judgment of a dead author, and ought not to be wrong more fre quently than perhaps three times out of seven in the case of a living author." This, from Current Literature, is ap plauded by the Springfield Republican: "We have received requests to publish month by month n list of the best-sell ing books. A day of mechanical novels is likely to be a Cay of mathematical ei ltieism. but we are not disposed to contribute to the idea that the merit of a volume is to be measured by its sales.” Henry James is still ill and his new novel, The Wings of the Dove" will not appear for some time to come. William Sage, the author of “Robert Tournpy" and “The Claybornes,” is the soti o( the late Abby Sage Richard son. •rl'-r husband was Albert I). Rich ardson, the famous war correspondent, who was captured while attempting to run the gauntlet of the Confederate batteries at Vicksburg, the steamboat being shot to pieces. This evidently suggested the episode through whtcli the hero of “The Claybornes” goes. A birthday edition of Edward 1 ven tt Hale's "Tile Man Without a Country” has been issued by The Out look Company through a special ar rangement with Little, Brown Co., who are the publishers of Dr. llale’s collected works. The edition is limit ed to two thousand and aigotv cojics. of which eighty are printed on Japan paper, signed and numbered. The frontispiece is a full-length portrait of I'r. Hale, who contributes a preface es pecially written for this edition. Therein he remarks, apropos of its first publication: “The utmost secrecy was observed in carrying the story through the press of the Atlantic Monthly. The proofs were not sent to me: they were s*-nt to the editor, Mr. Fields, who sent them to me. The story stood in the name of Captain Frederic Ingham of tile navy, but unfortunately for me it Happened to be published in the December number, which was then the index number of the Atlantic. The gentleman who made the index knew, merely from my handwriting, that 1 wrote the story, and after all our pre caution. the index at the end of the volurru announced me ns the author of it in the same issue in which it was printed. I tell this story by way of precaution to young editors.” The vol ume is printed in large type and is handsomely bound in red cloth, with paper label. The plot of Mi. Howells’s latest novel. ’'The Kentons," appears to have got away with him. It was his inten tion to take the Kenton family to Eu rope, to relate minutely their new ex periences there, and to call the story "The Discovery of Europe." Hut, as he proceeded, Ellen Kenton’s love af fair progressed so far that it domi nated the entire story* the scope of which was thus readily changed. It was not until recently that Mr. Howells completed the story and brought his young heroine safely through a series i>l excitements which completely upset the quiet harmony of the Kenton family. i Several years ago, some young ladies ap in a Maine town noted for its j amateur theatricals, gave with marked success what they called a “dramatic J solution” of “The Lady or the Tiger." says the Xew York Sun. According to this solution, “It was the Tiger." Same of the difficulties which attended the work of dramatization will be real

zed, when it is recalled that Mr. Stockton did not choose to name his characters, or to give any idea of the time or the country in which they lived, or the clothes they wore. The first of these difficulties, that of nam ing ihe characters, was the only one the dramatists were able to overcome in a satisfactory manner. Each drew a letter from a pile of anagrams and read it aloud in turn, and out of the combinations thus formed, grew the names, oriental in sound and entirely original. One of the programs was sent to Mr. Stockton, who delighted the girls with the following reply: My Dear Young Ladies: X was very much pleased to see the pro gram and to read what you had to say about the play, but I assure you, I should have been infinitely delighted if I could have seen you perform it. I»id you haVe any photographs taken of the actors in the costume of their parts? If so, I should be very glad to see some or all of them. Congratulat ing you upon the pleasure you must have had from your private dramatic performance. Yours sincerely. Frank R. Stockton. This letter was very characteristic of Mr. Stockton, who, unlike some cf his brother authors, was always courteous to tlie oftentimes troublesome admir er. Of course the gills at once sent him the photographs together with a copy of the play; and great was their surprise and pleasure at receiving another letter in which he had kindly taken the trouble to criticise their ef forts: Dear Young Ladies: Your letter and the package of photographs have been forwarded to me. 1 have read the play with a great deal of interest, t think it shows much ingenuity and very good literary work. It is easy to see that you undtistand the needs of the stage; for you have added enough to my slight sketch to make a satis factory dramatic performance Your employment of the death chant to explain what happened in the arena is very good India d. As to your solu tion of the problem. I can only say that as you are ladies and I am not one. you know a groat deal more about ;t than I do. I am extremely pleased to have the photographs; for when any of my friends, especially if they are young ones, interest themselves in my work, I am very glad to interest myself somewhat in them, at least to the extent of knowing what they look like. So far as I can judge, I think the costumes are very good. I should have been greatly pleased to have seen the play, but as I could not do that, the next best thing is to lead it and to see your pictures. Fui yout kindness in sending me these I am very much obliged. With my best wishes to each one of vou, I am, yours very truly, Frank K. Stockton. Frank L. Stanton’s first book, “Songs of tht; Soil, was published some years ago by D. Appleton Co. His many admirer.-; will be glad to learn that a second book of verse will, in the fall, be brought out by the same firm as a holiday offering. George Douglas, the author of “The House With .he Green Shutters,” is hard at work on a new book. He lias rented a picturesque old place among the hills of midland England, and divides his time between the new novel and long, solitary tramps over the moors. Miss Josephine Dodge Daskam has given up a long cherished ambition for originality in the matter of names. Since the publication of her book. “The Madness of Philip,” she has been great ly in demand to read her stories. One of the stories which she usually selects to rend is “Ardelia in Arcady,” a sketch of a little slum girl who failed to appreciate the delights of rural life. Miss Daskam is, or was, particularly proud of the name “Ardelia,” because of it she could say, with the White Knight. It's my own invention.” lte cently she read this story before an audience in one of the Eastern cities. After the reading a large and dignified woman came to congratulate her. “I was so delighted with Ardelia," said the woman. "Where did you hap pen on the name?” "I made it up myself,” said Miss Daskam, with pardonable pride. "Indeed!” said the woman, frigidly, looking the young authoress up and down, “as if it were some strange kind of bug," she described it afterward. “Indeed!” And she strode away. A little later Miss Daskam under stood the season, for she overheard the l>ortly woman indignantly denouncing her to a friend. “Says she made the name up herself! Such impertinence! Why, everybody knows that Ardelia has been a family name with us for generations!” Miss Ellen M. Stone, the missionary, is hard at work on a book which will recount her experiences from the time jt her capture by the band of brigands up to her release. This bit of biogra phy will be published by McClure, Phillips Co., under the title, Six Months Among Macedonian Brigands.” Parts of it will appear in McClure’s Magazine, beginning in May. Miss Stone's narrative emphasizes the fact that the kidnapping of herself and of Mme. Tsilka was purely a political move, und in no sense a private en erprise. She philosophically bears vitness to the fact that she was treat 'd with all the consideration possible inder the circumstances, and that her ckinappers were actuated by motives )f pfitriotism and not of self-interest, i'ijeir one ohiect was to obtain money o buy arms for the Macedonian cause, t(though Miss Stone and Mme. Tsilka vere compelled to travel twelve hours ir more a dhy, underwent almost in ■redible hardships and were in con stant expectation of death, the mis lionary returns unbroken in health ind spirit. Her bcok will probably ap >ear in the fall. John Albee answers the questions, •Who Reads the Good Old Books?” in he Dial, its follows: A recent article in The Atlantic Mommy, gives u just and appreciative :ribute to the poet George Crabbe, which I am sure will do something toward the revival of his poetry, if it is in need of reviving. The writer in the Atlantic wonders why Crabbe is not now read. Permit me to answer that he is read. Let no one draw the in ference that because standard books are not advertised and bruited in the critical and personal columns of news papers and magazines, therefore they arc not read. They do not need such exploitation; they have passed that unhappy experimental stage, and have tome finally to their own. They rest from the dread ordeal which a novel venture must undergo. The crowd goes to see a new invention put in opera tion; when it is a success they stay at home and reap and enjoy the benefits of it. Crabbe and many other good old au thors like him are still read by those to whom newspaper advertising and uncritical puffery of books have be come a nuisance and a stench in the nostrils. It seems as though the last degredution of literature had arrived when quantity rather than quality is the criterion. But let us take courage: it is only noise, bluster, superlatives, large type and monotonous adjectives that make us feel for the moment that .■ill discrimination is submerged, all real distinction no longer possible. Far awiiy, in more quiet seats, the wise and sincere lovers of good literature are still reading good books, the good old ones, and sometimes the good new ones which are equals of the old and liy some miracle creep in between the pushing and blatant hundred thousand editions of phenomenal and soon to be forgot ten works.

BOWER BARTLETT, Importers, 63-65 Broad St. and 34-36 Battrrj-mnrch St. Established 1S75. Boston, Mass. Blue Ribbon Coffee FACTS ABOUT BLADDER DISORDERS. .Inflammation or irritation of th« bladder, with difficult and painful urin ation, is a very common disease. If there is inflammation of the gland sur rounding the neck of the bladder, known as tho prostate gland, there is often necessity of usiny the catheter to get tho urine out of the bladder. This process is always dangerous and painful. Often neglected bladder trouble develops into chronic catarrh of the bladder, followed by discharges of mucus, pus and blood. This pro duces intense suffering and pain, and almost destroys all muscular power of urination. There is a frequent desire to urinate, with smarting, burning and stinging pains, and the water flows in scant quantities. The patient becomes ner vous and exhausted, the circulation of blood is bad, ami tho entire system prostrated. These difficulties are promptly overcome by Smith’s Bucliti Litiiia Kidney l’ills. The most painfnl diseases that afflict humanity are those of the urinary or gans. Inflammation of the bladder is accompanied by almost unbearable pains—a blow, violent exercise, the use of instruments and child-bearing may cause inflammation. There are two forms, aento and chronic. Neglect of the first—slight pains accompanying acute inflammation —leads to the chronic state, which is productive of ulcers. In this disease a portion of the urine may bo retained in the bladder, and decomposition fol lows—the results are fatal. GRAVEL. Gravel and stones in tin? bladder ar# directly traceable to diseased kidneys, which retain in a deranged state the sediments of the urine. This sediment hardens, and by a most (taiuful course gets to tlio bladder, where, if not re moved at once, the stone grows and eventually stops the water passage. The stones causo intense pain during their occupancy of the bladder. Smith’s Buchu J.ithia Kidney rills are a specific for bladder inflammation, as they heal tlie inflamed parts, and act as a tonic. In case of gravel they re move or dissolve both tlie sediment and the stone, removing the obstruction from both kidneys and bladder. Pollard, Ark., July 22,IDOL W. F. SMITH, Bofton, Mas*.

Many persons interested in church I a (fails will agree with the Rev. E. B. Barbet in his views concerning church 1 suppers, fairs, etc., as a means of gos pel support. At the fame time those who regret the undue prominence that is given these festivals will probably l>e puzzled to devis. mi .ms of abolish ing them without i -riously crippling the resources of the church. At pres ent the general system of feeding has assumed such propel tions that in most churches the cook-stove has come to be almost as indlspcnsible as llio jiul pit while the work of preparing pub lic feasts and enlci tainme-nts is c ar ried on to an extent which in many cases interferes s riously with the more important labors of the church. These oft-recurring "social events,” as they are commonly called, are not, as Mr. Barber says, r iigioua: they are simply means to an nd. The question width Confronts th supporters of the church is wh_ethov_qtjipr and more sat isfactory measures may not be em ployed to accomplish results which at ’present are arrived at by a roundabout mute of eating and drinking. If Mr. Barber and his parishioners succeed in solving the question satisfactorily they will perforin a task which will be of great benefit to the church, and which will afford immeasurable relief to those who work hardest to support it.— Westbrook Gazette. MAINE INDUSTRIES. A number of employees in the pulp deportment at the S. D. Warren mills, Wesrtironk. are rejoicing over a 10 per cent, raise in wages voluntarily grant ed th«ru by the company. The business outlook for Uowdoili ha no'hus' not been so favorable for years as it is now. The mills are ail running on full time, and there is not a man idle in town, unless it is from choice. fine of the largest blueberry factories in the State will be erected at Colum bia, ground having already been brok en. O. C. Ward ami others will own it. A fully equipped plant will be erected. The Duster wood working company, Dover, has orders now for work to be used in the construction of 12 different buildings. The company has never had a larger or more satisfactory business in its history than now or any better: facilities for doing it. Foster Hutchinson of Machias, have started their stave mil! at Had ley's Iaike with a stock sufficient to k-'op the mill agoing during the sea on. They are also hauling about 1,006,000 staves of last year's cut to the wharves for early shipment. F. H. Hayes of Dexter, will start up his canning factory as soon as the dandelion greens are large;enough to dig. Hr gunned quite an amount last year and found a ready golf? for them, arid be contemplates increasing his out put of canned greens. He uses the com mon field variety as they are preferred to the cultivated. The work of making cans at the North Anson torn factory tvfli be, com pleted soon. The liberal manner in1 which the factory was patronized by the farmers, last year, the amount that they received for their corn per acre1 and the ready market that the com pany found to sell their corn made it very satisfactory to all concerned, John D. floss is having erected on his Crotch island quarry one of the most powerful steam derrick* ift use in this part of the country- The derrick itself is of hard pine, sixty feet in length and eighteen incites in diameter.

The fishermen along tit* coast who have not yet disposed of their stock of smoked herring are complaining about the extremily low prices which these fish now bi*ing on the market. A Cut ler fisherman who still has several thousand boxes of herring in his smoke house, in speaking of the business, said that he could get but four cents per box for his fish at the present time should he put them on the market. This he said would hardly pay for the salt and smoke-wood used tn curing" them, anil the boxes in which they were packed, so that to sell at this time would be but a mutter of swapping dol lars and getting nothing for the hard work which he hag doiie to get the fish in readiness for the market The un usually low price is attributed to ail! over stocked market, the catch of smoking herring being unusually large last year. Last year herring were sell ing for thirteen cents per box—more than treble the price that is now being paid for them. This great falling off in the price of fish is seriously felt at Cut ler, where a large business is done iu that line every year. There are more than 30 smoke houses in the town, where in an ordinary season about 250,000 boxes of herring are cured. NEWS OF THE RAILROADS. With a view of utilizing waste land. 1000 catalpa shrubs and a large (jiiantity of seeds have been ordered for use along the western division of the Boston Maine. The catalpa grows very rapidly, the wood is of tine tex ture, and of such an indestructible nature—in any soil or climate—as to make it especially suitable for tics.

The station is to be one of handsome de sign, 43 feet long, having freight and passenger departments under the same roof, with a ticket and telegraph office at one end. waiting room, baggage, and freight rooms arranged in this order. The company has needed a station at Mainstream for some time past, and lias been obliged to put up with a small building decidedly inconvenient in all respects.

He did so under an agreement, in writing, that he was to assume no liability not have any share In the profits of the business, but Instead was to have in cash and 30 shares of the stock. The profits of the business were $325.tKiO hence the defendant's tenth would be $32,300.

Y., Hands Down an Important Decision. In the case of Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy against P.lood and Liver trouble. Judge James If. Claney of Hornellsville, N. Y., and one of the most prominent members of the bar in that historic town, decided recently that as against Blood and Liver trouble. Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy was worthy of the highest praise. He says: 1 have used Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy and strongly re commend it for its good effect in my case for liver trubie and blood dis order. It built me right up and I im prove,! greatly in health C-o. H. Tifft of STS River street, Troy, N. Y., suffered from liver trouble and his binod was all out of order and after using "Favorite Remedy," lias this to say: "For any one suffering from that run ilown or tired out feeling, caused by blood or liver trouble, p- David Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy is the best medicine you can buy. X have used it and 1 know.” The one sure cure for diseases of the kidneys, liver, bladder and blood, rheu matism, dyspepsia and chronic con stipation, is Dr. David Kennedy's FaVorite Remedy. It has cured in many eases where all else has failed. It matters not how sirk you are, how long you have suffered, or how many physicians have failed to help you, I)r.

Rej nolds took his departure from the city a happier man than when he made his entrance within the portals of the police station the previous evening. At one o'clock Thoms and Hyde were again brought into court on a charge ot larceny. The a warrant al leged that the two young men took a oeoamit from the store of the Augusta Fruit Co. At the morning session of the court the charge was disturbance. It was then alleged that on the evening previous. Hyde and Thoms were guilty of insulting certain persons on the streets, among whom were "Billy" Smith and Sprague .Mace, two young men from Fairfield. Smith avid Mace came down on the Pullman at 10.40 and stopped off here until the next train for Portland. From tile train they went to the lunch room conducted by Chris Gonnella for a lunch. When they came out they were met by Hyde, Thoms and several ollews. who made various remarks of an insulting nature. Smith and Mace started toward the City Hotel hut were followed by the crowd. They then turned around and started down Water sic t toward the Cony House. Their toi mentors followed them. When they reached the Cony House they went in and according to the story which they told the police were afraid to com out as the crowd hung around in that vicinity.

Interesting Correspondence Between Leaders in the Movement. i 1 on. Samuel \V. M.tlhc.vs, secretary ,,f He- Malle- Old Hu;.,1- \Y.~ k Aisfiela .ion. is busily engaged in pn paring documents and blanks to solid to the various towns in the State interested in the movement, and hopes sunn to be able to make some reports of the progress of the work that cannot fail to be of special interest to all. Governor Hill': letter or, the lubject will Soon he issued. Ill tills letter the Governor will extend an earn at and eordiat invitation to every m‘i and daimliter f Maine, as well as to their faniili s and friends to it Maine during Hid Home w ek. which, as has tieell dccid'Kl. will he from the 3 1 to the Vtli of Au ,'ust. inclusive, and will as sure them of heartfelt greetings and sine, re welcomes to their ol i hemes. The officers ol the tlth Maine Regi rnerdiil Association are planning to hav, the annual reunion of the as sociation during Old Home week. Other regimental organizations will probably do likewise. Hon. F. E. Iloothby, mayor of Port land. has always been deeply interested in the arrangements for the-festivities of old Homo week, and the' following correspondence bearing upon the sub ic. t will he of interest at this time: Portland. Me., April 30. 1 S. \V. Matthews. Secretary, Augusta, Me. Dear Sir:—I am glad to get yours of the 2$th. and to know that the Gov ernor and yours ell are to soon get at old Home week matters. As for ideas I would say that last Tuesday i'1 Poston 1 met ex-Governor Rollins and |gave me n copy if a letter he had l written to X. J. Baehelder, secretary rh; Xew Hampshire association, whh h I send herewith to you. I think the ideas as expressed therein about what we want here in Maine and undoubted ly there are some that you can use, if not all of them. Yours very truly, F. E. Boothby. It will be remembered that ex-Gover nor Rollins, formerly governor of New Hampshire, was the originator of the Uld Home week idea, and his ideas In regard to the proper manner of n orgnmzing the event are of special Im portance. His letter is as follows: Concord, N. II., March 19, 1902. Mr. N. J. Bachelder, Concord, N. (I. My dear Eachelder:—I suppose \v shall have our annual uld Home week nv eting before long, and I have been thinking over some suggestions to make at that meeting, and to have sent out In the form of a circular to the va rious Old Home week associations and to tile newspapers. I will jot them down in this letter for your considera tion. ainl should be very glad if you would change them nr add to them in any way you think best, believing that your go id iudgni' at is sounder Utatn my own. First, (ipi a thfc week ns usual with bonfires on the high hills and ringing of church b.Us at eight o'clock Satur day night. Second, Have :ill tlif churches, if possible, or as many as will, have 1 reunion of former parishioners mill pas tors, on eitlier the SiiuHay of OH Home week, or on Old Home bay, as may be preferred. There are thousands of people who have not only alt attaeh m* lit for their town, but for their old church. and of course this is true of tin former pastors, and many of them would he grind to eome hack if invited. 1 think this might bo made a special feature of thF year’s old Home week. If the vhurehes did this generally, they might have a big union meeting of all the churches in a town in the largest building there was there at Sunday or Old Home day. You would get to gether a lot of speaking talent in this way, and have a lot of pleasant remi nisce ileus. Third. bet every town, if possible mark its historical spots witli brome* tablets substantially placed. believe these can be obtained in IVnaeouk for about f! apiece, depending, somewhat on the sire. Of course it is jstssible they may he obtained do win re for less money. Fourth. On Old Home day, or dating Old Home week, have a loan collection in some hall or house, and gather to gether ail tiie availabh n tinting:-, bric a-brac, cut 'S, etc., in tiie section, as was done at Dunbarton. It makes a very nitonting and enjoyable ex hibit. Fifth, Have historical essays pre pared for >*1,1 Home week, covet ing tic hi dory f lite town. Aim, on Old Home day tty to get a mm meat start ed for having tiie tow n hi '.ory written, if it has not already b> n tiotle. Sixth, te l as many of the old resi dents of the town, and those who have gone away, to be ready to talk or read from their early recoilediona, Su> It ret oliections if preserved or printed will he of great value twenty live or lift y ye.trs from now. Such a "tides are re illy history, and are not only of great practical value, lull are exceedingly interesting to the people of a town. In every town or village of our state there are elderly people whose early recollections are priceless, and should reduced tin print for soon they will I'H-’S a way, and the opportunity w ill lie lost. Seventh, A register in which the names of visitors can be entered with their present hum and business, etc., should be prepared, and cure should be taken that everybody that comes buck should register, in order that they may be sent invitations in the future. Care ful iists of all former residents should be prepared and invitations sent them tliis year. Eighth, In the way of celebrations, we have always advocated simple and inexpensive ones as best suited to th. spirit of the oeeusion, and to its lasting continuance, but there are a great many towns in our strit** where there :iro many summer boarders in the vicinity, where it is good business and good judgment to have a more elabor ate celebration for the entertainment an I enjoyment of our summer guests, and we suggest in such places parades of carriages decorated with (lowers, fruits, etc., also coaching parades, and where there is water, bout and canoe parades, which can he held at night with lanterns; producing cry beautiful effects. fu our manufacturing cities, where they contemplate celebrating, we should recommend industrial parades, which are of good effect and tend to show what we are doing in the way of manufacturing and general industry. Yours sincerely, (Signed) F. \V. ROLLINS. I.orcn I’., Merril of Paris Hill, re cently c ut a remarkable tourmaline. It \v:\s taken out at Mount Mica three or four years ago, but was kept in his cabinet, as it was at first considered too light colored to make a good gem. Mi st of the stone is a very light green, shading into a cry light pink at oik* end. Mr. Mgrril cut it so as to bring the pink at the apex of the gent, and the cutting throws live color out, giv ing the stone a peculiar scat of salmon tint, such as was never seen in any othi r tourmaline. The stone weighs 414 carats, and is one of the largest perfect gems ever cut from a Mount Mica tourmaline. It is cut with seventy-four facets. The Cleaning of the Vatican.

Journal Telephone Call. 1M-4 It will pay to look up the special sale locals today. “Kins; Jollity,” which was presented co succ essfully by Augusta talent, in February, will be given in Rockland When you weir Hart, Shaffner Marx stylish suits there will be no doubt in your mind that you are one of the best dressed men on the street. Eugene Presbrey of New York, who has many friends among Augusta’s Ocean Point colony, where his father lias a handsome summer home, bus written a play for Henrietta Crosnutn called "The Ways of Susan.” It is a modern comedy. Miss Crosman will probably be seen in it the latter part of next season. Here is a fact that well illustrates the difference in the season this year and 33 years ago. The Camden Herald says that 33 years ago, last week, A. P. St. Clair. Rockland’s extensive candy manufacturer, started to go from So. Hope to Augusta by way of Rockland in a team. Soon after starting he got completely stalled in the deep snow and was obliged to unharness his horse to get out. He went through finally and did not meet a single vehicle’on wheels on his way to Augusta. Just compare that with our dry roads and green grass of this year at this time. “Parties who are purchasing gasoline vapor lamps, for lighting purposes," said a well-known insurance man, yes terday, “should remember that it is recessary to get a permit from the in surance agent to use them as insurance policies strictly prohibit their use without such permit. Only certain gasoline vapor lamps are allowed to be used at all by the companies. The charge for insuring against this method of lighting is 5 cents for every $100. The use of such lamps renders the policy void according to the pro visions of the standard policy found in the statutes of the state, unless it Is specified otherwise in the contract.” “Any timber buyer who knows his business,” said a lumberman yester day, “will tell you that you should never dream of purchasing timber on a fine dry day. You must go when tho 1> gs, soaking with rain, shine with the vet, and show plainly to a practised eye their cracks and knots. In buying timber from the docks, never select slicks that float low In the water. It is a sign that they are kappy, and have, rot their due proportion of heart-wood. Planks sawn out of fyttgrown timber will bear a much hcaxler weight than those from young treefc.mnd when the architect has calculated carefully the strains which each portion of the building will stand, the Shbstltutlbn of ’deals’ for ’cut timber' becomes a very dangerous experiment.”^,. The Augusta friends 6f Rev. C. W. Rradlee, a former pastor of the Green Street Methodist church, wtU bV* In ti rested in the following from the B^d deford Record: “Rev. C. W, Bradiee on Sunday entered upon his sixth year as pastor of the Foss street Methodist church with the church Iff better finan cial condition than it has been before for many years. Since Mr. Bradlee’s advent in Iiiddeford the church has steadily gained in membership and in the improvement of its financial con dition, and on Sunday the announce ment was made, a very gratifying one, by the way, that all of the bills had been paid up to May 1st and that there is a balance In the treasury of $28.21, something that has not been known at this church for years.” Local Notices.
