The officers have the benefit of the moonlight and the only way the rob bers can get away is to use their rifles its they did when first seen when a mnning fire was kept up until 20 or more shots had been exchanged. Shortly after midnight this morning. Sheriff Foster of c'arleton county. New Hrunswiel:. the bank chashier and Deputy Sheriff Barnett of Bridgewater, Me., who had been close on the trail of the men. came up with them on the Bangor our eight miles from Moulton. The pursuers were tjuickly seen, so the cashier shouted for the men to stop. The re sponse was a serenade of rifle shots from the two. This was an unexpected difficulty, for the officers had no idea that the men were armed except with revolvers and think that they must have had the rifles secreted along th^ line. As the moon was full and the offi cials had only revolvers they retreated from the track after exchanging shots, bul not so far that they could not see their men. The latter entered the woods instead of proceeding toward Hcjlton (-i'd have not since been seen. The officers were joined by two local officers and the five men have partially surrounded the woods, keeping a sharp watch. As the thermometer is low it is cold watching all night. Four officers from Woodstock. X. R., arrived here shortly after 8 o'clock in carriage and started for Smyrna, 16 miles west of here, where they will search the freight train passing through there at 3 o'clock. The same train wiH be watched by local officers. It is believed the men will make an at tempt to board this train. The Floreneeville bank was burglar ized about 12.30 o'clock Sunday morn ing and between $2000 and $2000 in Canadian currency taken. In addition to ibis loss a large number of valu able papers were rendered worthless by the explosion which w recked the en tile office. The bunk is located in a two and a half story building in that small town and is 6*' feet from anv other building. The safe, not a large affair, was carefully covered before the explosion. The robbers secured the money and escaped before the citizens guessed the cause of the unusual noise. The cashier heard the explosion and guessing the cause hastily secured Deputy Sheriff Foster and started af ter the men. They were traced all day Sunday and up till midnight over the 14 miles of road to Bridgewater, where the Bangor Aroostook tracks were taken anil w here the pursuers were re inforced by Deputy Sheriff Barnett and the remainder of the IS miles was covered to where the men are now sur rounded. The men.of whom there are three.are professionals beyond doubt. They are about 45 years old and it Is believed they have committed many of the burglaries in this vicinity. 4,. John. N Tt..

Me., Sept. 15.—(Special).— Not since the breaking nut of the coal j strike has the abject seriousness of 111" j situation been so realized in this city J as at present. The retailers have been i unable to secure a pound of hard coal for the past 11» weeks, although two were fortunate enough to secure car goes a few weeks previous to the strike and a third was promised one but it has not yet arrived. Of the five retailers in the city, one] whose bins were so filled a year ago that they could not stand the pressure and bursted. now has less than 50 tons on hand. The total amount of an thracite coal in the city is estimated at 2000 tons and at the best calcula- tior.s it is freely predicted that this cannot last much longer than six weeks. For two months the dealers have been under an agreement to sell to the j consumer at $8.25 a ton. which is $1.75 more than last year, while only a ton i at a lime will bp sold to a customer. J There are hundreds of families In the city that have not bought their winter's supply of coal while none of the schools have enough to last them longer than the early stages of winter. As a natural consequence, soft coal is becoming scarce and high and has taken a jump of $1 a ton since tin* first of September, so that the present price is $5 u ton. Kid McCoy.

Harry Coffers and Bartley of Binghamton. George Siler, the vet. ran refer* c of Cni eago. was introduced as the official at the main bout.. Round 1—Tlu* gong called the nv*n to the center of the ring at 9.37. Carter at once began edging Ryan into the cor ners. Carter swung his left twice* and was blocked, liy.ui swung a right hard on the car and followed with a wicked left on the n k. Carter did not seem disturbed and tried a right for the head. Ryan ducked. Carter put .a heavy right over Ryan's heart and Tommy swung both hands to the head. Carter missed two very heavy right swings and kept boring in. Cnrur put a heavy right on the body, but in the exchange Ryan got to tie le ad he 'vi!y twice. Ryan jabbed a right to th** face and put his right on the body. It was a very fast first round. Round 2—Carter cam** up bleeding slightly at the mouth from the effects of Tommy’s jabs. fne Kid went in with heavy swings for the head and body and he evidently hurt Ryan every time he lanaed. Ryan tit a heatfy right on the ribs and Carter seemed somewhat be wildered. but they clinched and fought away. Carter pm a stinging left on the jaw. Tommy la ighed and danced back. There was a world of force in every blow that Carter struck. Ryen was clearly worried. Carter put a heavy left on the solar plexus and Ryan complained that the blow was low. Carter put a heavy right to the body. Ryan began going; wickedly fust and swinging a heavy right to Carter’s jaw. staggered the Kid. They finished the round as if it was the last j minute ot the bout, both swinging heav ily for the head. Ryan took his corner tired and Carter was groggy. Round 3—Ryan put Jill his force in a I right over the kidneys and then sparred away. Carter chopped Tommy in the jaw, coming out nf a clinch. Carter forced Ryan about the ring, hitting heavily, but: the blows were not well placed. Ryan was tired, but v.vs using great general- j ship. Carter put right and left on head and upper cut with right. Ryan fought1 j back like a wildcat. A glancing blow from Ryan’s left to the head nearly sent Car ter down. Thev were mixing savagely j I for a time. Ryan was weathering the1 storm the better of the two and while tired smiled at his friends over his shoul der in a clinch. 1 Round 4—Ryan began jabbing and play ing for the body. Carter tore in with heavy swings and made Ryan tight. Ro- i peatedly Ryan ducked just inside the blows that would have ended the fight. Tommy sent the Kid’s head back with a left jab and a little later slapped him twice smartly over the eve with the left. 1 Ryan began fighting in to clinch. A right swing from Carter on the head staggered Tommy. They both went at it again hammer and tongs. Carter bleeding badly from cuts on the face. Just before the dose a left to the jaw stopped Carter for a moment. Hound 5—Carter went right into his man and although banged lip about the lace, made the tight interesting. In the open ing scrimmage a left to the jaw stag gered Carter. Kyan put a low loft on Carter, but the claim of foul was not al lowed. They were soon mixing hotly again and Ryan’s ring generalship sh Avod all through the exchanges. Carter's heavy smashes were blocked or ducked and Ryan opened up the cut over Carter’s eye. Kyan was stabbing his man very fast in the face as the imind closed, but a heavy right to the body and «i left to the head wor ried Ryan a lot. Both sent heavy rights across and Cartel took his corner very tired and his face crimson with the blood from his cuts. Round G— Ryan came up with a right to the stomach. Carter put his left to the face and right and left to the head. Tom rny used his footwork and danced away for a time. Ryan put a heavy right over the kidneys and Carter tore in with heavy swings again. Carter was all at i sea in the next clinch and hung on till the referee parted them. Ryan put right and left to the head and Carter seemed to he losing his steam. Carter put a left on the head a light on the head, but Kyan jabbed him repeatedly in the face and, catching him napping, lloored him with a heavy right to the jaw. Carter got up with i he tount of nine dazed and Kyan, watching ills opportunity, put an ther 1'mv.v right on his bleeding counte nance and Carter again fell heavily. Once moii he gamely struggled to his feet, but another heavy right to the jaw sent him hit n his back on the floor of the ring and Kyan and Rs*l..tvere asked for and opened, Monday.

The officials having the matter of wireless telegraphy in charge have hopes of greater success in com municating from the shore stations at Annapolis to the Prairje, out in Chesa peake bay. The Prairie now is being fitted out for that purpose. Two persons were drowned in Sluice pond, near Lynn, Mass.. Sunday, both members of a camping party who were out for a canoe trip.

A small sail was carried in the craft and presumably a gust of wind filled it and upset it. CONDENSED DISPATCHES. J.

It Is a fact for wonder ment that "Ut of such a small thine as the Butteriek Pattern should grow a bus iness. which re>|.tiros for its products the largest printing plant in the world and a building one of the largest occupied by any single business firm in New York City. It is a mailer of course to there who know what the business is and where it goes. The Butteriek Pattern started fortv years atm in the little town of Sterling, Mass., even now hardly given a place on the map. The capital then possessed was a ream of tissue paper and a pair of shears. One man .vas employer and em ployee. The business is now capitalized at twelve millions of dollars and listed on the New York St->ck Exchange, and live thousand peopl_ are busily engaged at tending to it. Starting in this Mttle town of Massachu setts, Butteriek has become a household word throughout the Continent. This fact is a commtu knowledge, and yet comparatively few know ihat this busi ness has become one of the great indus tries that g.ml neglect made by L’r> former nurses •gainst I)r. H.iso.t M.

There is none of us so hardened but that when we have been able to aid our fellow creatures by conferring a bene fit or bringing a little comfort into their lives we like to have apprecia tion shown. This generally affords more pleasure than the performance of the act itself, and In this connection the following letter from a Paris, Texas, lady is of more than usual In terest: “Dear Friends: I address you as such, for you have been such to me. I suffered for three years off and on with piles, I was treated at the hos pital, and the new and elegant hos pital of Memphis; they only gave me temporary relief. I came west, think ing the change of air and water would benefit me: five months ago the hlteding piles came back on me, and bled so much that I thought I would die. I have had four of the finest doctors in this section of Texas; all they did was to finally nearly let me go to my grave: all they wanted was a big sum of money from me and to operate on me. I said no, no surgeon's knif‘> would enter me; if it was ray time to die God knew it, and when I died 1 would die all together. I began hearing about your medicine. I had no faith in you, but I sent and got a box of your Pyramid Pile Cure: in two days the biood flow had slack ened to one-half the amount, and in one week I felt so much better I walked four blocks and did a little housework. I was not bleeding then: in three weeks I was well. God bless you for putting such a wonderful medicine within the reach of suffering mi n and women. I shall never cease to recommend your medicine or be without it: also I used your Pyramid PiHs. Sallie A. Hearndon." Testi mony like this should be more con vincing than all claims and assertions, ami should leave no doubt in the mind of the reader as to the merit of the remedy. Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by druggists for fifty cents a package, or w ill be mailed by the makers to any address upon receipt of price. Write Pyramid Drug Co.. Marshall.

-1 n I ramous ramines in r-oimcs. Tim nomination of the three Lamlis brothers for Congress, two in Illinois and one in Indiana, has started an avalanche of stories in papers all over the country about the parts played in national politics by members of the same families. The Journal started the ball rolling by mentioning the fa mous instances of the Washburn and Fessenden families of this State. Of the former family, four brothers served in Congress from four different states. Three were in Congress together through several terms and were all in later years governors of their re spective states. Of the Fessendens, thiee brothers were in Congress at the same time, one representing .Maine in the Senate and the others representing two of our districts in the House. The records of these two families have never been equalled. A Delaware paper now comes for ward with the singular instance of the Saulsbury brothers of that state. Willard Saulsbury was elected to the Senate in 1859 and held his seat for twelve years. His brother Gove was elected governor of the state in 1866 and held office until 1871. When Wil lard Saulsbury was a candidate for re-election for the second time, the most remarkable political contest ever seen in this county, in some respects, was on. Willard was not only op posed for re-election by his brother Gove, the governor, but another broth er. Ell. all three brothers being as pirants for the same position. After a triangular contest of some bitter ness, the plum finally went to Eli. who thus succeeded his brother. Willard was afterwards appointed chancellor of Delaware, which position he held until his death. The brother Ell. who defeated him. remained m the Senate until 1889. Delaware furnishes another instance of political honors staying in one fam ily. with the Bayards. James Asheton Bayard was United States Senator from Delaware from 1805 to 1813. His son, Richard Henry Bayard, served as a United States. Senator under ap pointment in 1836 and was elected to the Senate and served from 1839 to 1845. Another son. James A., the sec ond. was elected to the Senate and served from 1851 to 1863. when he re signed in disgust on being compelled to take the iron-clad oath. He was ap IHiinted to fill a vacancy md served again In the Senate from 1867 to 1869, when he was succeeded in the Senate by his son. Thomas F. Bayard. These instances and that of the Adams ami Harrison families are probably the most remarkable in American history of political promi nence in the members of one family. There are many others of slighter im portance. as for instance the case of the Bigler brothers, one of whom was governor of Pennsylvania, while another brother was governor of Cali fornia. The Postal Service. One of the most interesting things of the annual report of the postofliee de partment for the last fiscal yeur, soon to be made public, is. according to Washington dispatches, the fact that the department very nearly made both ends meet and that the deficit will be the smallest for a score of years. This result, moreover, will have been ac comtdished in the face of an increased expenditure for service, including a great extension of the rural free de livery system. The unusually good financial showing of the past year has been hinted at several times, and while it is very gratifying as showing the business-like administration of the de partment and the largely increasing business of the postal service, it does not mean that the service is about to become a source of profit to the gov ernment. It never should be expected to become a source of revenue, and when one considers the vast amount of government mail transported, includ ing the franking privilege of Congress, it seems really unreasonable to expect the department to make both ends meet. That it has practically succeeded in doing so means undoubtedly the rapid broadening of the service in the im mediate future. The extension of rural delivery will be rapid, though this may mean profit rather than loss to the government. It probably means the increase of pneumatic tube service in cities, and possibly experiments with electrical devices for the transmission of mail over long distances more swiftly than any railway train can travel, it may mean one-cent postage within a few years, or more generous provisions for other classes of mail. The people do not expect the govern ment to make money out of the trans portation of mails. They do, how e\ ei, expect the service to be general, prompt, honest and progressive. And In no country are these requirements i 1 better fulfilled. Americans Living Longer. The desire to live long is as uni versal as any human desire can well be. Therefore, any statistics bearing upon longevity are invested with much popular interest. The figures of the twelfth census on the question ol longevity furnish the optimist with much material for expatiating upon the general improvement and ad vancement of the human raqp—at least that portion of it living within the boundaries of the United States. "The race is growing older.” says the sta tistician. This, of course, is a self evident proposition. It requires no statistics to verify this statement. But the race is also living longer. The average age is lowly but surely in creasing as human intelligence and knowledge of hygienic and sanitary science i« more widely disseminated. This is the showing made by the sta tistics of the twelfth census on length of life in this country. Instead of 1 merely computing the average age j from decade to decade the statisticians of the new census computed the median line, which is the half-way sta tion between birth find the average age reached by the population. The median age in 1900 was 22.S. as com pared with 21.9 in 1890. If we elimi nate Ihe negro race from the calcula tion, however we find that the median age of the whites was 23.4, as against 1S.3 in 1890. The increase in the median age of the white population in the last nine decades amounted to 7.4 years, while during the same period the colored population increased only half as fast. While many influences have co operated in producing this increase in the average length of life, there is lit tle doubt that it may be attributed to an increasing knowledge of the laws of life. The people are living more ra tionally than ever before. The rules of health are more widely observed, there is more widespread interest in sanitary science and a more general dependence upon such agencies as out door exercise, healthful recreation, proper ventilation, rational diet ant dean thinking to prolong life. Merry Old King Leopold. We have uad many princes and prospective monarchs visit this coun try and members of nearly all the royal families of tile Old World have at one time or another made formal or informal calls upon the American people, but never yet has a European crowned head, with his crown intact and In active service, honored us with iiis presence. Mercy old Ivins Leopold of Belgium, however, an nounces that he is coming, next year. There seems no reason why he should n’t come if he wants to. His age, 67 years, might be a handicap for some men. but that is the last thing Leopold thinks of when he starts out for a good time, and he has a habit of starting out for them with fre quency and vigor. King Leopold is one of the most picturesque of living monarchs. He is thoroughly democratic in his tastes and style of living, having no love for the fuss and feathers that usually en velop royal personages. He is a pretty brainy and progressive mon arch. too. with a business-like way of conducting public affairs. Incidentally he looks out very sueessfully for num ber one. and lias large and valuable railroad and mining interests in this country. He says he wants to have a chance to study our lightning express ways of doing business and also have a good time over here. The King is fa mous for his fondness for gambling, and his weakness for the society of actresses has been the gossip of Kurope for half a century, more or less. We hope he will not fail to come for the visit will be mutually enjoyable. The Fame of a Poet. "We live ill deals, not years; In thoughts not breaths: In feelings, not :n Hgures on a dial. We shAulil count time by heart-throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, nets the best. l.ife's but a means unto an end; that end Beginning, mean, and end to all things —God." Almost everybody is familiar with these lines and yet probably not one in a hundred of those who can quote them or recognize them as an old friend, can give the name of their au thor. Philip James Bailey, who died a tew days ago, wrote them as a part of a long poem “Festus.” which was regarded, two score years ago, as a great and enduring work. Some learned critics in this country and England declared with enthusiasm that posterity would link the name of the author with those of Shake speare and Goethe. But the great promise of Bailey had a great and •sudden failure. His subsequent I works fell flat and his masterpiece I was quickly forgotten. He was an i Englishman, born in 1S16. and was a journalist and then a lawyer before he took up literature as a profession. The above quoted lines will live, though the name of the poet was for gotten by the world before he haj died. However, these lines indicate that he w as more of a rhetorician and preacher than a poet. OASTOUXA. Paul the _/} fl» Kind You Kan Always The City’s Lullaby.

MARKET REPORTS. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Features of the Day's Dealings in All the Leading Stocks. New York, Sept. 1".—Today’s stock market showed itself very sensitive to j the money situation and the price move i meats throughout the day were closely related to the developments in the money market. The firm opening of the stock market was obviously due to the hope1 that the measures of relief announced by the secretary of the treasury would re sult in forcing down the rate for call loans. The opening rate of 5 per cent, counteracted this influence and induced a general spilling over of stocks all around the room. Meantime the local banks were holding for a 2‘» per cent. rate, which some of them got Inter in the day when the out-of-iown supply had been absorbed. Who i the demand for loans had been satisfied, some of these banks found themselves with funds still on hand, wljich they offered in the market and helped to break the rate to 6 per cent. The sharp decline in sterling ex change encourag' d the hope that the en gagements of gold for import are near at hand, the rate for sterling at the close being within a small fraction of the point at which gold imports are reckoned profitable. The London money rate was not affected. Tv.ward the close of the stock market ih re was a good rally, which wiped out earlier losses in a num ber of import stocks but still left frac tional net losses in the majority of cases. No one is heard to express any appre hension that there is danger of a money crisis in commercial or industrial affairs. It is pointed oui that the present stress for funds centers very largely about the Stock Exchange and is local to New York- Tlw general opinion, this evening, wits trhtTrhe best hope of relief for the money market ia\ in the prospects of *wW imports. An upward movement in oftfehr was a sligmlv sustaining influence in today’s weak market. Bonds moved narrowly in sympathy with stocks.

Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy I »ou are sintering from kidney o: bladder disease, the doctor asks: "D» you desife to urinate often, and ar. you compelled to get up frequently during the night? Does your bad pain you'.’ Does your urine stuii linen? Is there a scalding pain it passing it, and is it difficult to hole j the urine back? If so. your kidneys 01 bladder are diseased.” Try putting some of your urine in a glass tumbler, let it stand twenty-foui hours. If there is a pediment, or a cloudy, milky appearance, your kid neys are sick. Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Rem edy uill surely relieve and cure the most distressing cases of these dread diseases, and no physician can pre scribe a medicine that equals it for kidney, liver, bladder and blood diseases, rheumatism, dyspepsia and chronic constipation. Walter D. Miller of Delhi, N. Y., writes: “I suffered for years with kidney trouble and severe pains in my back, at times it was so bad I could hardly walk. My stomach also troubled me and I frequently had twinges of rheu matism. I suffered a great deal and received no benefit until I began the use of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. After taking it a short while it cured me.” All druggists sell Dr. David Kenne dy 's Favorite Remedy in the new 50 cent size and the regular $1.00 size bot tles.

Aboriginal Titles with Which our In land Waters are Burdened. The Rochester, N. Y., Democrat and Chronicle recently published the fol lowing treatise on the names of some of our lakes and streams which cannot fail to be of special interest to Maine readers: The mention in a press despatch from Frrniinffton. Me., describing a drow-nine accident at Lake Moose iookmeguntic recalls to mind the fear fulness and wonderfulness of the aboriginal titles with which some of the charming inland waters of the Pine Tree State are burdened. Those ho urge the retention of the Indian names of American localities and natural features have much rea son on their side. Certainly those w ho have substituted for them modem English names have seldom been happy in their selections. Cut such aboriginal local names of lakes and mountains as Meddybemps and Pnssadumkeag. and Sisladobsis Casha heegan. I’mbacooksus. Mollechunke mug and Mooselookmaguntie. can command undeserved admiration only from enthusiasts. They are unde niably cumbersome, and are hardly likelv to strike euphoniously on the unprejudiced ear. Possibly they are re plete with poetic suggestions, but they don't convej them very clearly. Theodore M'inthrop had the poet soul in him. hut he strove in vain to get poetry out of the names of some of the Maine lakes he loved best. Moose lookmagitntic suggested to him only the effort of an Indian hunter, With an exceedingly imperfect* cotfihvaud Af the English language, to ted how to had unexpectedly seen and quickly shot a moose, and Mollechunkemug suggested to him nothing more ro mantic than the thought that the lak» had been named by some woodman after liis inamorata, his short-faced Mary, hi? Molly of the c hunky mug. Now and again the residence of lo calities afflicted with such names as these petition the powers that be tc change them to something better littet for ordinary daily use. and are there tore abused as vandals by all culturei t persons m other parts of the country i But it is possible that the most eul 1 tured persons would sympathize will the vandals if they had to summe and winter with Mollechurikemug ant Mooselookmaguntie and the rest: hat to say all that every time they wer asked whence they came or whithe s they were going: had painfully t write it all out every time they sen t forth a letter or a telegram. CLUB WOMEN. How They Will Be Entertaine< at Lewiston. The Entire Program Outlined by thi Federation President. Some of the Topics which will Be 0.3' cussed. The following letter telling of the ar rangements for the meeting of the Maine Federation of Women's Clubs at Lewiston, has been sent by Mrs. Anna Sargent Hunt of this city, presi dent of the State Federation, to the presidents of the clubs: Augusta, September 8. 1902. My Dear Madam President:—It is with most pleasurable anticipations of meeting you and the other repre sentatives of your club at the tenth annual meeting of our Federation that I announce the place of the meeting as Pine Street Congregational church, Lewiston, and the date October S, 9, 10. We are to be the guests of the Wo man's Literary Union of Androscoggin county. It will be very gratifying if your dub is represented by its presi dent, delegate and other visitors. Of course the interest during the regular hours of the sessions should center in the meetings. There may be opportunity, however, by means of the fine trolley car system to obtain glimpses of the beautiful twin cities, which will be at once enjoyable and restful amid the pressure of work. Entertainment—Our honored guests, the officers of the Federation, mem bers of standing and special com mittees. heads of departments, the president (or her appointee) and one delegate from each club, will be enter tained by the W. L. U. of Androscog gin county. Each club is requested, as soon as possible to send the name of its president (or her appointee) and delegate who will attend the meeting to Mrs. Woodbury Pulsifer, 119 Pine street. Lewiston, that places may be assigned them. Credential Cards—Enclosed are cre dential cards, to be filled on one side with names of the president (or her appointee) and delegates of the an nual meeting. On the reverse side of the card are to be placed the names of the officers of your club, that are to appear in the Year Hook of 190:1. Clreat pains were taken last year to ob tain not only thesignatute of each ofii eer. but the husband’s address, with street and number in our larger cities. (See lust Year Hook). A proper fillingof the blanks which provide for these de tails, will lighten the labor of the in coming officers. 1/ changes in the officers occur within a few weeks let them be reported to the corresponding secretary. These cards should be pre sented to Mrs. E. C. Wellman, cre dential committee, at the church vestry on Thursday, Oct, 9, at 8.45 A. M. In. case your club cannot be repre sented please till data on the back and send to Mis. Wellman, 15 Arch avenue, Lewiston.

Those promi nent in tile organization of our Federa tion. representatives of charter clubs, our general F der:«tion president, and presidents of the New England State Federations, will participate.

Pursuing the thought of the last annual meeting, which created a special committee on forestry, the topic will come up at this session, and it is hoped that a practical fofes* ter m ty be secured to address the meeting. Club Iteports—In accordance with a vote taken at the mid-winter meeting at Dexter, all club reports will be omitted with the exception of those clubs which have never reported. All suck clubs will be allowed two minutes each.
