A CAREFUL WATCH Seing Kept to Prevent Small pox Spread in the State. baid that About Thirty Men Have Scattered from Holeb Where They Were Exposed—Every Precaution Being Taken. Waters-Hie, Me., Nov. 24.—(Special).— The report was received in the city. Monday, that some 30 men had left the Frank Higgins camp in Holeb, where there are cases of smallpox. One party has been prevented from entering Jackman by the citizens there and ac cording to the report have scattered through the Moods. These men will have to seek food and shelter some where, and may spread the disease to which they have been exposed, by con cealing their identity and getting into some camp. The people in that section are doing all they can to prevent the disease from spreading, but they are hat ing a difficult job. inn conditions in the woods are al most ideal for a spread of a contngeous disease. There are many camps scattered through the good lumbering country, some of them but short dis tances apart. The men visit back and forth more or less through the winter and men are usually coming and going from a camp all through the season. In Moleb, where the camps are located near the boundary line a good many men cross over from Canada for a win ter's iob, returning to their farms in the spring. These are also coining and going all the time. The greatest danger seems to be from the men coming over from Canada. There is apparently no such fear of the disease among them as there is among the people of Maine. It is fairly com mon, not often fatal, and seems to be reckoned much the same as fever or other disease of lhat nature. In the lit tle hamlets in the woods there are no strict Quarantine measures and the people are allowed to handle the disease much as they see fit and this is usually by paying but little attention to it. With one case in a camp it will be im possible to prevent the other men from being exposed. The camps as now built consist of two large rooms, one usually larger than the other. The smaller ol the two Is the cook room where the cook and eookee sleep and eat and pre pare the feocl for the men and where the crew eats. The other and larger room is the living room for the crew. The two are usually under the same roof and almost invariably connected by what is called the dingle-. This ha? one- side open and is in reality ati en try way to the camp and is used foi th“ storage of supplies and tools. In thf* living room there are two long lines of bunks, extending usually from one end of the camp to the other. Ir most camps there is a double row ol bunks on one side and a single row or the other, that is, the double row con sists of one line of bunks above thi other. When the camp is built tin hunks are separated simply by poles extending from the eaves to the supporting and dividing pole along thi front of the bunks. These are madn Secretary Hay and Sec retary Moody. Subsequently he had a long talk with Secretary Root about conditions in the Philippines with es pecial references to the plans of the department for the reduction of the army there. As the result of his re commendations a general order rela tive to the methods of reducing tht army will be issued. Later in the day Secretary Root ac companied Getr. Chaffee to the execu tive officers and presented him to the President, who cordially congratulated Gen. Chaffee on his work in China and in the Philippines. INSTANTLY KILLED. Well-known Citizen of Hudson, Mass., Run Over by Train. Hudson. Mass., Nov. 24.—Albert Taylor, a well-known citizen of Hudson, was run over and Instantly killed on the Central Massachusetts division in the Boston At Maine yard here, today. How the acci dent occurred Is not known. The engineer stated that he thought Mr. Taylor committed suicide. He said that it was dark In the yard at the time hut he was able to see the man walking along the track. He thought that Tay lor would leave the track before the train got up to him. but he did not and must have lain down across the track because the wheels passed over his chest. Mr. Tavlor had been in poor health for some time and for the past week had been despondent. A widow and six chil dren survive him. He was prominent lr. Grand Army circles. _ A TUG OF WAR. Coffee Putt Up a Grand Fight. An-.ons the best of }udg'-s of things in the food line, is the grocery man or his wife. They know why many of their customers purchase cer tain foods. The wife of a groceryman in Car thage. New York, says “I have always been a lover of coffee, and therefore drank a great deal of it. About a year and a half ago, I became convinced that it was the cause of my headaches and torpid liver, and re solved tc give it up. although the reso lution caused me no small struggle, but Postum came to the rescue. From that time on. coffee has never found a place on our table, except for company, and then we always feet a dull headache throughout the day for having in dulged. “When I gave up coffee and com menced the use of Postuni I was an habitual sufferer from headache. I now find myself entirely free from it, and what is more, have regained my clear complexion which I had supposed was gone forever. I never lose an opportunity to speak in favor of Postuin. and have induced nanv famiftes to give It a trial, and they are invariably pleased with it." Name given br Fostum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. THE PRESIDENT Will Complete His Message to Congress, Today, Statement on Appointment of Dela ware’s United States Attorney. Principles to Govern Spanish Claims Commission’s Decisions. Washington, Nov. 24. President Roosevelt will, tomorrow, put the fin ishing touches on his annual message to Congress. The document is practi cally completed now. but It is the President's desire finally to consult sev eral of the leaders in both branches of Congress as to one or two of the feat ures of the message before he commits it to the hands of the printers. This was a day of conferences at the executive oflices. The President arrived in his office early and soon was beseigtd by callers. He had en gagements with several senators and representatives and declined to see all other visitors. During the hours until luncheon time, the President had brief confer ences with Senators Allison of Iowa, Lodge of Massachusetts, Foster of Washington, Quay of Pennsylvania, Fairbanks of Indiana, Stewart of Ne vada, McComas of Maryland, Elkins of West Virginia, and Gibson of Montana, and with Speaker Henderson and Rep resentatives Cannon of Illinois. Bab cock of Wisconsin, Boutelle of Illinois, and Landis of Indiana. Nearly every one of the callers was with the President so short a time that no opportunity was afforded to discuss the important questions, the consider ation of which is involved in the mes sage. With the views of all the Presi dent is reasonably familiar. With Senator Quay and with Speaker Henderson the President was in con ference for half an hour or more. The former did not hesitate to express to the President his opposition to any tariff revision, either at the approach ing short session of Congress or in the next Congress. He expected to express in the Senate, this winter, the terri torial statehood bills and was very op timistic as to the result. The President conferred with Speaker Henderson about the status of legisla tion in the House during the -short session, but the Speaker declined to enter into any details of the confer ence. 1 Mr. Cannon had only a brief inter view with the President, during which they discussed no public questions. In the purpose of the President to talk with some of the Republican Con gressional leaders concerning his at titude and their attitude on trusts and the tariff and the discussion on the latter subject, it is understood, will be with special reference to the reciproci ty question. DELAWARE’S ATTORNEY. President Would Have Re-appointed Him at All Hazzards. Washington, Nov. 24.—The following statement was Riven out at the White House, this afternoon: ••On hi.; return to Washington the Pres ident found that some misapprehension existed as to the reappointment of the United States attorney for Delaware and authorized the following statement re garding it: "Mr. Byrne was originally appointed United States attorney for Delaware by President McKinley. President Roosevelt knew him personally. In the opinion of the President he had rendered excellent service for the public good in more than one direction, and he had been a staunch supporter of the President when he ran for governor and afterwards. He was re appointed hv the department of justice as a tit and competent attorney and the President had entire confidence in his ability and integrity. "He accepted the nomination for on gress. Other district attorneys and mar shals had accepted such nominations without being requested to resign, but in view of the factional tight in Delaware the President thought that Mr. Byrne should resign, which he accordingly did. When the election was over the President re-appidnted him without giving him the slightest indication previously that such was his intention. He would have re appointed him without regard to the cir cumstances under which he ran. or the faction with which he was allied." CLAIMS AGAINST SPAIN. Commission Announces Principles by Which It Will Be Governed. Washington. Nov. 24.—The Spanish claims commission has enunciated the principles by which It will be governed in passing upon the various demurrers which have been submitted to it In con nection with the claims now under con sideration on account of the war between Spain and Cuba. The general basis ts laid down in assuming the responsibility which would otherwise have been Spain's the Cnited States is bound to pay all claims for which Spain could have been held. It is further held that the insur rection In Cuba had gone beyond the con trol of the Spanish government and that it was not responsible for damages done to foreigners by the insurgents. If. how ever. it be shown that the Spanish au thorities might have prevented the dam age done in any particular case by the exercise of due diligence the commission announces that it will hold that Spain was liable. The commission announces further that it will take Judicial notice that the Cu ban insurrection passed from the first beyond the control of Spain and so con tinued until the intervention of the I'nit ed States. It Is further held that Spat.; was entitled to adopt such war measures for the recovery of her authority as are sanctioned by the rules and usages jf international warfare. If. however, it be alleged and proved in any particular case that the acts of the Spanish authorities or soldiers were contrary to such rules and usages. Spain will be held liable in that case. This decision does not, however, go to the extent of saying that the reconcen tration orders were legitimate acts jf war. There Is to be a further argument on that subject. Ex-Senator Chandler, chairman of the commission, and Commissioner Maury dissent from the rules adopted. Capital Jottings. Albert T~ Higgins of Bar Harbor, (Continued on page 5.) TWO CONFERENCES Will Be Held, Today, at Wash ington With Operators. Miners Will See Them and Indepen dent Operators Will Call. Latter Say They Must Be Given Some Concessions. Scranton, Pa., Nov. 24.—President Mitchell accompanied by Clarence S. Dai row and Henry D. Lloyd left for Washington, late this afternoon, and are scheduled to arrive there at 12.50 A. M Mr. Mitchell refused to say what is the nature of the business which takes him to Washington, hut he Inti mated that it was in connection with the commission. It was subsequently learned that the visit lo Washington was for the pur pose of holding a conference with rep resentatives of the big coal companies and some of the members of the strike commission on the proposed private settlement plan. Wayne MacYeagii telephoned from Philadelphia that he thought it better to have a meeting and as he was not feeling well enough to make the trip to Scranton he desired the labor representatives to go to Washington for the conference. The officials of the big coal companies are to meet the independent operators In New York, tomorrow, but how they will divide the conference is not known. The committee of independent opera tors left here, this afternoon, for Now York to meet the coal presidents, to morrow. Regarding their mission, a representative of the independent mint* operators made, this statement, today: "The independent companies are pay ing the miners as much now as they can afford to and if an increase in wages is granted by the large com panies, the companies must give the independents a lower freight rate in or der to meet the increase in wages. If they refuse to make a concession in freight rates or its equivalent then it is probable the- independent companies will insist upon the whole matter be ing threshed out before the commission. "Mr. Mitchell in his testimony before the commission, last week, said that $600 a year would be a fair American standard of living wages. Some of the independent companies are paying an average of over $700 a year while the large companies are under these fig ures. Therefore, if a 10 per cent. In crease is agreed upon the amount of money to be paid to the men by the in dependents would be greater than that of the large companies.” SOME PERMANENT FORM Will Be Secured, If Possible, for Strike Settlement Agreement. Washington, Nov. 24.—Col. Carroll D. Wright, recorder of the anthracite coal strike commission, had a con ference with the President, today. Members of the commission are.of the opinion that the operators and minets will reach an agreement upon all points of difference raised. It will be the purpose to arrange, if possible, that the agreement shall have some permanent form. CRUISER BALTIMORE Refitted from Stem to Stem at New York Navy Yard. New York.

PRESIDENT ELIOT Of Harvard Gives His Views on Labor Unions. Their Work Is to Make Mar.’s Lot Happier and More Satisfying. Come to Stay, but as Yet Is Not in Perfect Shape. r Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 24.—In an ad dress, Saturday evening, at a private meeting of the Colonial Club of this city, of which was given out. Sunday night. President Kliot made a compre hensive statement of his views on the labor unions. He said that the work of tin labor unions must be counted among the efforts to make the lot of mankind more satisfying ami happier, and that their strength lay in their be lief in this work as their mission. He then enumerated the conditions which he designate! as humane conditions of employment, those to which laboring men may rightly might aspire. The first was a rising wage based on in creased experience, attainments and age; second employment after adequate probation; third, the opportunity for the working man to establish a p both parties, but on the whole the former were more to blame lieoause their situation was more comfortable and their education superior. The in dustrial community was under many obligations to unions for the evils tli y have mitigated, such as poor sanitary conditions in factories, an unreasonable number of hours of work, child labor and the company store. T ie oligarchy of capital had combined effectively and to corresponding combination of labor ing men was a wholesome check upon that oligarchy. There was no question but that the labor union had come to stay. On the other hand its cause was injured by ititain evils which wore subsersive of fundamental American doctrines of liberty. One of these evils was the limit placed on the number of appren tices. other evils were the limitation of output which destroys the self-respect of the efficient workman, and the uni form wage which has a cruel reaction on th" less callable workman because with a uniform wage, he loses his job at every slack in business, when as if he were paid according to his earning capacity his employer could afford to keep him the year around. A fourth evil was the- violence which was an Inevitable feature of every strik in industries employing unskilled labor. Tin- unskilled laborer on strike has no edhe r weapon, unless It were the boycott, which was a cruel, cowardly Interference with the rights of the |m-o |ile. President Eliot declared that he saw grounds for hopinig that the- re lations of capital and labor would l>" Improved, in spite of their present un intelligent antagonism, partly by frank public disc ussion «if abuses, part ly by pi e-art angc-d agreements for conciliation or arbitration and partly by the service which labor union would tonder to capital through their constant command of the labor te sourecs of w hic h cat ital comes in need. FREQUENT ASSAULTS. New Bidford Women Attacked by Un known Man Almost Nightly. New Bedford, Mass..

The four prin cipal demands of the miners arc* for a 20 per cent, increase, an H-hour day, weigh ing of ceal wherever practicable by the ton, and yearly trade agreements. The report that the commission was the first to suggest that the opposing forces get together on the* outside is true. The* commission saw that the proceedings would be interminable, and, if possible, i it would be better to have them make another effort to settle the*ir difficulties j without having the commission compel them to lake something that would not satisfy either party. The substitute committee did not meet, Sunday. ALL THREE MISSING, Canoeing Party Thought to Be Lost at North Scituate. Providence, It. I.. Nov. 24.—Ernest W.

Swift Tomer, AUQUSTA, MAINE MANAGING AN ELEVEN. The Business Side of m Big College Football Season. Although no player or coach receives Pay, a Harvard or Yale'football team costs $20,000 for Its two months’ sea son. And yet the game makes more money on the investment than Stand ard OH or the theatrical trust, almost two hundred per cent. Though the public sees only the part of football above (and on the) ground, the team thrusts its supporting roots deep and far. The graduate manager of ath letics, who runs the business (right) end of football, presents a composite personality, is indeed an Arabian Nights-like genius of transformation. As a business man he directs a force of clerics and keeps a complex set of books; like a general he marshals a whole corps of undergraduate mana gers: as purveyor to all the bodily, de mands of the team he develops a half dozen characters. He derives his in come as a landlord, leasing eighteen inches of plank for an afternoon at a rental of from fifty cents to two dol lars. Like a commander-in-chief he learns of the situation on the field and directs affairs through his aids, the under graduate managers. They find out from the field officers, the chief coach and his assistants what is wanted, and from personal inspection decide what must be had. Honor and the delight of being on intimate terms with the heroes of the present, the players in the great game of the year and with the coaches, the heroes of the past, are theii rewards for much hard service. Kaeh hopes that he, too, may one day become the graduate manager, and be a Great One in the focus of cniiee-e hero-worship for one with the training of an undergraduate managership usually fills the higher and renumera tive position while doing graduate work, most likely as a law student. As a common victualler the graduate manager, runs his business at a loss. Though every player pay* his board, the training table ends the season with a deficit of about $2500. Since the men give the athletic management just what they previously paid at commons in Yale or in Memorial at Harvard, the $2500 represents chiefly the football ap petite. Meat, meat and still more meat feeds the ‘•beefy line,” and meat comes high these days. Many things to eat. and more especially to drink, are as forbidden as the fruit of the well known tree of Paradise, and a player partaking of them courts banishment from the squad as surely as did Adam. Put none of the old ideas of Spartan fare for athletics lingers, and all the good things of the season, except posi tively injurious food, now burden the training table. Our host, the graduate manager, gets his satisfaction in the health and strength of his boarders. Costuming the squad costs about $3000. For in the furnishing business the graduate manager considerately forgets to ask any pay and about 100 men draw their equipment from him in the course of the season. The appear ance of the squad may remind you of this version of the nursery rhyme: “Hark! hark! Hear the dogs bark! The beggars are coming to town, Some In rags, some in shags, And some in purple gowns. Almost the real royal purple, the costly Tyrian of classic kings, greets you in the rich red blankets that en velop the substitutes on the Harvard side line and make such a handsome patch of color against the dark gray mass of spectators and sky. Those blankets cost a pretty penny apiece. Strip them off and sweaters suggesting the rags and shags appear, and under neath the sweaters jackets showing various degrees of wear. A footbull player would be ashamed to come on the gridiron in an entirely new cos tume, for he would look like a novice. If circumstances should oblige him to put on a new suit, he would roll in the dirt before going on the field. All the men had something of an outfit of their own to begin with, which the manager only completed from the athletic fund and gradually replaced as it wore out. One old player may proudly don the jacket which he wore on his prepara tory school team and through three 'varsity seasons: another may have a pair of shoes that served him in two Yale games. One man requires a jacket, another a sweater, a third a pair of trousers; and all constantly de mand dead protectors, nose guards and shin pieces. The captain makes re quisitions for the articles as the men need them through the undergraduate managers. Their chief would have to stop to add the several items before he could tell you just what a football costume costs, for he does not buy the llUlUlllg 111 oui Large as the total is, it scarcely cov ers what the articles originally cost Manufacturers will give as high as 5i r»er cent discount for the custom of the big teams and count their returns a! coming from the advertising, while nev makers would give their goods awa: for. Awkward Vrs a football suit looks its making requires an intimate know ledge of the requirements, for the re sults of trusting to inexperience! workmanship might be more unfortu nate than confiding in a bungling tail or for a dress suit. As the maker o football clothes resembles rather ai armorer, the comparison hardly ap plies. He must place an extra pad her for this man, and special stiffentni theije for another, so as to least intei fere with the player s motions. As a transportation agent, the grad note manager does all the work of i rook’s tourist bureau, hires specia cars, writes ahead for meals and en gages quarters in hotels. Since the. are autocrats, not seeking but sought the big teams take few trips. Team from the smaller institutions must vist the fields of the greater. But the mon archs of the oblate sphero.d-mor familiarly the pig-skin—exchang courtesies among themselves, so e play at least one of the heavy games the season away from home, and fo the army and navy games the moun tain must go to Mohamet. team, including substitutes and i coach es, number from twenty to thirt> met ordinary fares wouid amount to good-sized charge. The therefore, engages a special car the men as much comfort as Pos*‘™ and, when unavoidable, gets a sleepin car. In his capacity asCoo£s curb agent, the manager spends about Though a student must not tak penny while he remains in e S’ may well play football with an ey protit, for if he wins a *ood reputatio he may later make a snug little sum coaching an academy or college like Dartmouth may afford a salary of nearly $1000 for a good coach through the two months* season. As coaches on the Harvard and Yale teams get no salary, however, the manager charges to this score only the proportional share of football for other althletic trainer, who superintends all the sports. If an unusually competent man for coach cannot afford to give his time, some of the alumni may pay him. Ex penses of the coaches amount to a con siderable sum, and, in all, the graduate manager disburses under this general head another *2000. As all the big teams carefully w atch the operations of their opponents, Harvard, for instance, sending a coach to see every game Yale plays, a large part of it goes for rail !oad and hotel bills. And, naturally, these ambassadors extraordinary do not journey second class or sneak round the corner to eat a five-cent quick lunch. Ey proxy, at least, the graduate manager is physician and surgeon to his charges. When the referee pulls apart the bunch after a scrimmage on the field and one does not 4et up, an inconspicuous person running from the side lines hastily examines the figure writhing on the ground. The examiner is a doctor, and is the only professional in the sense of taking money for his services, on the field. The graduate manager furnishes all the medicine and doctor's equipment w hich are essential to training, at a cost of $1300. ihuiivj iuU) an nuji* erir.tendent of grounds and printer. A field constantly plowed by boot-heels needs much attention to keep it in the desired smooth, springy condition. It costs him $S00 to do this, and when the manager, turned carpenter, provides extra stands at an expense of sixty cents a seat he has a further charge under the head of field expenses. “Lit erature” connected with the game (tickets, application blanks for them, postal cards to canvass football candi dates) costs $200. Expenses for police protection—for the manager is guard ian of the peace within the fence—of ticket selling on the field and allotment of tickets for the big games, come to $1000. The managers at Harvard have de veloped ticket allotment to a smoothly working system. By distributing through the mails all tickets for the big games, except perhaps a small sur plusage of undesirable seats, they ob viate the confusion incident to ticket selling in the old days. They give a preference to holders of season tickets on applications for one seat, and so on to a maximum application for four seats. Successive managers have worked to thwart speculators and, step after step, have gained the present suc cess. At first this gave holders of sea son passes a preference on two re served seats and allowed them to apply in person. So many students bought the passes on this inducement that the tote-comers got much inferior seats. It resulted in a picturesque camping out in front of the ticket office, where the pass-holders began to form a line of easy chairs twenty or thirty hours be fore the office opened, and thus laid siege a day and a night muffled in blan kets and lighted by flaring torches. Now all apply by mail, and the man ager employs an extra force of assis tants to distribute the coveted paste board slips. The manager, by recording all tickets, constitutes himself a detec tive to ferret out any who dispose of them to speculators, and may punish offenders by publishing their names. Men interested in all kinds of schemes besiege the graduate manager, who ought to be a humorist to get the most out of his situation. Some bio graph managers several years ago of fered *25,000 for the privilege of getting pictures of the game. Visions of large vaudeville audiences nightly and two afternoons weeklv delighted at the great game pla> d before their eyes, with no discomforts of cold and at a merely nominal price, tickled the fancy of the purveyors of public amusement. One difficulty presented itself—the play would be constantly passing out of the range of the instrument. But the bio graph managers had a fertile inventire faculty. It takes only so many yards' gain to make a touch-down, they said, so just restrict the play within the twenty or thirty yards the instrument covers, and count the gains plus and the losses minus till one side has a plus score large enough to count a touch down. Though the graduate manager could not dispute the cogency of the reasoning, he declined the offer. The manager takes any reasonable chance, however, to derive an income from a side issue. Behind the reporters at the top of one of the stands, and unno ticed by the crowd, a series of tele graph instruments click bulletins of the game all over the country. For the 1 privilege of having them there the tel egraph company giveR a frank on all 1 athletic business—a considerable sav The manager's debit account includes a large item not strictly an expense of the team, about *7000 paid in guaran ties to visitors, which completes the ex penditure of *20.000. Part of the credit balance of from *30.000 to *40,000 sup plies deficiencies of the track team and other forms of athletics not self-sup porting. When the manager balances the year’s accounts, he still has a large sunt left for permanent improvements.

I« u possible, if proper care is exer cised. to have lamps almost odorless. The best lamp In the world for reading nurposes is a students lamp. The first consideration in purchasing a lamp of any description is that it is safe. A lamp to be satisfactory should also have a large wick, and to fulfill the re quirements of safety it should stand OI Wicks "should1 he^soft and of a rather course mesh. They should fill the hurner ™ut not pack it; a wick that rjoos not fill the burner will admit air into the reservoir, which. In case any gas has collected, may cause an explo f,TL Many of the lamp explosions can be t'raerf directly to this matter o! *®he 'essentials of a clear light arc clean burners, clean wicks and clear Dirty burners and wicks are what cause disagreeable odors, Hide from giving an unsatisfactory aijT Ughting*a"lamp the wick should be turned down and left down until the chimney and shade are replaced; then gradually turn up. This will save the chimney. A lamp should be extinguished by turning down the wick and then pull ing the extinguisher. If there is no ex tinguisher, blow across the top of the chimney, never down into it. The daily care of a lamp consists in filling it with oil, trimming the wicks, wiping the burner and outside of the lamp and cleaning the shade and chim ney. For this work a pair of sharp scissors, a cloth for wiping them on, cloths for the chimney and shades, and a small brush for the interior of the chimney are necessary. Once in every two or three weeks the burner should be washed in strong soap suds or in soda water. Many persons boil them in soda water but it is hardly necessary. A few bubbles of air in the oil tank of a students lamp will often prevent a free flow of oil through the narrow pipe which carries the oil from the tank to the burner, causing the lamp 4o give a dim yellow light. When fill ing the student's lamp bear this in mind, and fill the tank to the top, and if any air bubbles appear, break them. A lamp in which kerosene is used should burn with a clear, white light. If the light is yellow, the oil is poor, the wick is charred, or the burner or wick is dirty. When lighting a lamp it must be remembered that the cur rent of air is stronger after the light has been lighted a few minutes, there fore the wick should not be turned to its full capacity at first. Agriculture for Women. Do women succeed as farmers? My observation proves that they do. I could cite a number of instances where women have farmed successfully for many years, and my conclusion is that country girls who are compelled by force of circumstances to work for a living, would find a broader field, with greater chances of profit and improve ment, right at home, than in the crowded and less desirable occupations in the city. Few realize the possibilities of farm life, and few farmers’ daughters culti vate a taste for agriculture; and yet, the few who do find a fascination in the work, creating an enthusiasm sel dom found in any other occupation. Many times the farmer’s daughter rushes from home to procure work, possibly in a village store or dress making establishment, or as hired girl in some private household, in order to procure ready money, when with a little co-operation with the home folks she could easily be enabled to earn the amount and at the same time lend her assistance to father and mother. I recall an instance of two loyal far mer's girls. The question of help pre sented itself one year when farm help was either unobtainable or inefficient with the result that these two daugh ters offered their assistance. The girls did anything which came to hand, and developed an interest in the work which surprised all who knew them. As soon as the autumn months set in, the elder, who held a second-grade cer tificate, obtained a school and taught during the winter, but the younger stayed until the rush of the farm work was over, when she began attending the home school, having to study early and late to make up for lost time. When I last heard of her, she had won i scholarship in a well-known college in the West, and was intending to make use of it the following winter, 1 when the crops were all in." Both of these girls were gentle and refined in appearance, and held high positions so cially in their community. A woman of my acquaintance, after the death of her husband, a farmer, conducted her farm, and raised a large family of children, educating each, with little outside help. Another acquain tance has adopted swine-breeding in connection with her farming opera tions. In thi3 undertaking she has been eminently successful. Living not many miles from the writ er is a feminine farmer and cattle breeder who has some of the finest Hereford blood in the state in her sta bles. She hires her work done, and is independent financially. Some of the best-known exhibitors of blooded stock have been women, show ing conclusively that stock-raising as an industry may be safely and profit ably engaged in by women having the will power and tenacity to succeed. Scientific agriculture is both instruc tive and lucrative, and the range of possibilities in this line is unbounded. Let our farmer girls consider twice ere they give up the wonderful opportuni ties offered by the farm for the less re munerative ones held out by village and city.—Mrs. C. D. Barrett in Amer ican Agriculturist. The oxy-acetylene blowpipe or M. Fouche, easily melting most metals, burns a mixture of one part of acety lene to 1.8 of oxygen. Explosion in the blowpipe is prevented by moderate pressure. Warm feet have much to do with white hands. When feet are habitually cold the hands are always red or blue. Simultaneous with the thought of ap proaching winter comes the question, Where shall we spend the dreary months of January, February and March?” With many this question is answered before asked, as every win ter finds them in the hands of Messrs. Harvey Wood, of the Bellevue, Em pire and Tuilleries Hotels Boston, who are also proprietors of the famous Tampa Bay Hotel, Tampa Bay, Fla., the Hotel Belleview, Bellealr. Fla.. Piney Woods Hotel and the Mitchell House of Thomasville, Ga. W'ith such a list to choose from, and knowing that each house is conducted in true Harvey Wood style, the seriousness of the question fades away, and the unwel come task becomes a welcome pleasure.

The y in an omnii>us bill with the other two it would ptobably have won the coveted prize of statehood before this time. It is another complication for Oklahoma that it lies beside Indian territory which will want to be admitted, some day. They should be combined before admission. As for Arizona and New Mexico, they have great resources and as large a population as some other territories have had when admitted, but neither nas any more than enough to meet the quota for one representa tive and in neither is the population ini l easing very fast. Moreover, the character of the population is not all that could l>e desired. So there are arguments pro and con, and the de cision is a matter of far-reaching im portance. not only to Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma, but to all the Union. It is a pity that the champion Yale eleven cannot meet the University of Michigan eleven which has won the championship of the West and is said to be the best eleven that ever played the game in that section of the couu i try. It is called the “point-a-minute" team because in its nine or HI games this fall, it has rolled up a total of more points against its opponents than there have been minutes In the com bined games. Nobody doubts, ln^v ever. that it would go down in defeat before Yale, and it is probable that both Harvard and Princeton could tie Hard Colds. People whose blood is pure are not nearly so likely to take hard colds as are others. Physiology goes into the reason. Hood's Sarsaparilla makes the blood pure, causing healthy action . Mussenden who has re tir. d after many years ot faithful serv ice. Mr. Potter graduated from How doin. two years ago, and is one of the brightest young men of the Shipping City. Frank S. Jennison. Bangor's cham pion weather prophet, who has been a close observer of w eather conditions for the past thirty years, prediets a short n*ild winter with but little snow. With the empty coal bins, that is just the sort of weather wanted, and if Mr. Jennison can deliver the goods he will be the most popular man in Maine next spring. A few days ago the Boston papers had an article about the youngest freshman in Dartmouth college, t boy only 15> years old and weighing pounds. «>f course in these times it is very unusual for so young a boy to en ter college, though it was not at all uncommon, half a century and a cen tury ago. But in the Bowdoin entering class, this fall, there is a young man who takes first prize over the Dart mouth freshman. He is Walter A. Powers of Houlton who was 14 years old. last April, and weighs 91 pounds. He is the sen of Congressman Powers and is one of the brightest boys in th€ class.

Brief Dispatches. A woman reasons with her heart. The sweetest of love poems is a woman with a baby. A woman finds a compliment an insult fomn another. it is never a work of superogallon to tell a woman that she is loved. Many a woman looks only on one side of a subject, because site can see right through it. Even while a woman is talking non sense to the baby she is teaching it the way it should go. it was Eve that ate the apple, and yet the assertion is made that woman has no initiative. There have been women who have made mistakes—but no gentleman would men tion them. A woman's mind can make a kaleido scope look like twenty-nine cents, marked down from thirty. The reason that it is impossible to dis able a woman’s judgment is liei-au.se she never arts that way. A woman’s simplicity is her most com plex characteristic. She reduces white light to seven colors. A woman would make a 1 tetter show ing in the race of life if site were not handicapped by petticoats.

CANTEEN QUESTION Its Abolition Has Had a Ba Effect on the Army. More Drunkenness, More Courtmar tials and More Desertions. Net One Poet Commander In Favor o “No Canteen.” 0 f Washington, Nov. 24.—The war de partment is in constant receipt of data concerning the canteen question an«J the effect of its abolition upon the army. Apropos the statement is made at the war department that only such information ns has been contained in ihc reports of army officers upon the subject has been given to the puhlic and it is denied that any effort has been made to influence public opinion in the motter It is said at the department that the recommendations of the attorney gen eral in his annual report were based upon thr information contained in these reports, it is pointed out that the existence of something like 1400 sa loons in the vleinitv of the army posts shown by the reports received at the department, 250 to 300 oi which are said M have been opened since the closing of the canteen. Thts further statement is made at the department: The majority of posts have reported ♦bat drunkenness and courtmartials for drunkenness have increased: that de fection and absence with rut leave have increased that the effect of closing the canteen upon the morality, discipline and health of the troops has been bad. and, while many post commanders are, in consequence of frequent changes of garrison and from the absence of cor rect data upon which to base compari sons. unable to report as to the degree of detriment t reated by the closing of ♦he canteen, it can be stated as an ab solute fact that in no single ease has a post commander expressed an opinion that the effect of the abolition of the sale of beer in the army has resulted in improved conditions." With reference to the reports from the Philippines, a statement has been made public at th- war department epitomizing the annual report of Brig. t>n tianger. Inspector general of the division of the Philippines. The report si's: To remedy the effect on the human system of the native liquors, the post exchange, at which light beer was sold, was exercising a wholesome influence and tlen Sanger believes that the *»x ihangc should be again made a possi bility by removing all restrictions on the sale of beer it nil light wines. To th“ fear so often expressed by the opponent of the canteen system, that the sale of beer would initiate, or induce habits of intemperance. Gen. Sanger shows from a careful census of the 312 companies of troops in the Philippine islands, that in 60 compan ies every enlisted man used vinous, matt or spirituous liquors at date of epMstmert: in 130 companies, between 90 and 1*0 |ter cent.; in 5s companies between 90 and no per cent.; in 26 com panies. between TO and SO per cent.; in TO companies between 60 and TO per real. Unfortunately quite a number of men habitually drink to excess and as this number will probably -increase if th» n*-n are obliged as now, to resort to native liquors in ouler to satisfy, what to them, is a perfectly natural criirtng, the result will be deplorable." (Jtn. Sanger concludes with the re mains that "It is hardly proable, in viev of this information, that Congress *111 continue the prohibition against th the Me Kenstc government. will be the one use Football Notes.

Great Britain Is contemplating serious reprisals against Venesucla, and she is acting with Germany in the matter, whether there will be a joint naval dem onstration after the severance of diplo matic relations is now being discussed in Berlin and London.

Say He Is a Mormon First, Last and All the Time. Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 24.—The Ministerial Alliance of Salt Lake, Monday, adopted resolutions strongly opposing the proposed election to the United States Senate of Reed Smoot, one of the 12 apostles of the Mormon church. A copy of the resolutions will be sent to every ministerial alliance of prominence in the country at once and probably to President Roosevelt, every congressman and united States senator and others prominent in political life. The resolutions in part follow: "We protest against this endeavor to elect Apostle Smoot to the United States Senate as an endeavor to force upon the citizens of Utah a union of the church and the state. "The election of a man who holds the highest ofllce save one in the gift of the Mormon church to the highest olhce save one in the gift of the peo ple of Utah or the United States would be a menace to our civilized and re ligious beliefs. No other church has dared to attempt such an ecclesiastic invasion of Congress. "The election of Apostle Smoot for the United States Senate would actu ally be the election of the will of the Mormon first presidency and 12 apostles to that body. “As a consistent member of the Mor mon ajiostolate, Apostle Smoot cannot make an important move without get ting pet mission or taking count il of the quorum of Mormon high priests to which he belongs. By virtue of Ills apostolic vows he must act first ns a Mormon apostle and second or thrid :1s a citizen of Utah and patriotic American. "We protest against the proposed election of Apostle Smoot to the United States Senate because the majority of the Mormon apcstoiate, to which he belongs, and with which he works in harmony, are living in polygamous re lations in violation of covenants made to the people of the United States as well as in violation of the criminal statutes of Utah. "The Mormon apostolate stands as one man before the community as di rectly or Indirectly encouraging or con niving at the continuance of polygam ous relations throughout the Mormon church. The vigorous tnd rigorous rigorous execution of law like the Ed munds-Lucker law in this state would drive the Mormon church and the ma jority of its apostles into exile or throw them in prison within 12 months and Apostle Smoot dare not oppose such polygamous conditions.” AMERICAN AUCIENCES. Men and Women and Their Effect Upon Public Meetings. American audiences are strangely alike in some tilings and strangely dis similar in others. A good committee will take as much pains in the ar rangement of its audience as of its speakers. An audience seated without crowding is seldom enthusiastic. Nei ther is an audience whose hands are occupied with bundles or umbrellast, an audience largely composed or women or an audience in a cold room. The easiest audienees to address, the most responsive and inspiring, are those composed of men crowded and packed together and warm. Women naturally do not applaud or cheer. They are by instinc t more self restrained in the public: expression of their emotions than men. Every public speaker is complimented by (heir presence, knowing that their quiet word al home is oftentimes more effective ir. results t.ian the most en thusiastic shouting on the street cor ners by the other sex. In a public meeting, however, the audience gels its cue from those nearest the speaker. I remember well two audienees, both from the same social class, both crowded, both in large theatres and both largely attended by women. One happened to be in Colorado, one in Massachusetts. In one meeting the orchestra was reserved for women. In the other meeting the inen had the or chestra aial the women had the lower gallery ai^i all the boxes. In both rases the audiences were entirely friendly to the speakers. The second meeting was marked by wild enthus iasm, the first one by respectful at tention. Ill the second case the mass of men in the orchestra urged on the speakers by continued applause. In the first ease the men in the galleries who started to applaud were checked because between them und the speak ers was a mass of absolutely silent femininity in the-orchestra. I do not say that one meeting was less effective than the other, but the difference in the strain on the speaker was marked.— From "The Spellbinder," by Colonel Curtis Guild, Jr., in Scribner s. I j’TIS BECOMING A SMALL WORLD New Time-table of the Trans-Siberiai Makes One Realize It. “Daily trains from Vkulivostook Dalny, Port Arthur nr Newchwang foi St. P«.tersburg, nil rail route except miies across Lake Baikal.” reads ta. newest time-table of the Siberian It..il roan.

Nobody a gen erutiou asm would have believed that before the 20th century was two years old three fast trains a week would be running between far-off Irkutsk and St. Petersburg. And not merely ordi nary trains, but trains de luxe with dining ears, baths, barber shops and library. That tiny are well patronised is shown by a notice in the time-table warning travelers to engage compart ments or seats on the train a day in advance. First-class fare from Irkutsk to st.

The Value of Advertising. The Spectator has a young friend tn the senior class of one of our promi nent women's colleges. She told him recently of an experience of hers when on a reception committee last fall, before college opened, to wel come new students, with their par ents or guardians, and show them about the place. One "heavy father” who fell to her share to look after, and whose name she did not catch, had so familiar a face that she said, smilingly. “I think we must have met before, for vour face is perfectly well known to me.” “I’m glad It is,” was the unexpected reply; *1; ought to be, for I’ve spent a hundr d and fifty thousand dollars to make it familiar to everybody;" and, lo: as he spoke she recognized his counte nance as one that had stared at her from billboard, circular and maga zine page a thousand times. She had met one of the great advertisers of America. And advertising In America has grown great indeed. There are for tunes in it. both for the man who ad vertises and for the man who pre- 1 pares and places the advertisement. Advertising is an art—the art of publicity. .There is an advertiser's I journal, published weekly in New 1 York, which, though not illustrated, I is. to the Spectator's mind, one of the mos' readable periodicals in the I'nited States. It has a keen, honest and witty editor, whose ideas are often brilliant and always interest ing. The main contention is that the first requisite of good advertising is to be truthful. This is not the idea thi public has of the matter, for to discount the flattering tale that the ordinary advertisment tells is the first instinct of the reader. Yet, as the "buttle. Schoolmaster” points out, the fortunes are made by the adver tisers who come nearest the truth. The ideal advertisement may not tell the whole, cold truth. but what it does set forth must be accurate as it goes, or the purchaser, though per- suaded to buy once, will not buy again. How superbly some things are i cj vertised every reader of the modern I magazine knows. The Spectator has a cousin, a good and cultured woman who sends nil her magazines to ar. Old People's Home, somewhere out of the rity. after she reads them. Hut she invariably tears out all the advertising pages before sending them. "They are lighter to hold," she explains, "and it saves unneces sary potsage." The Spectator would not like to be one of the defrauded old people who receive those plucked periodica s. He always reads the advertisements first himself, and he knows many others who do the same. Why not’ Magazine fiction nnw-a days Is almost invariably pessimistic and problematic. For pure, Joyous, j breezy optimism see the advertising pages. The only problem ever pre sented In their picturesque and cheery columns is how to get money to nuy all the things advertised. And even then satiety would be Im possible, for there is always a new advertisement coming in. of just the things one has been waiting for for years. The illustrations, too, are calculated to scatter sunshine Into every soul. There never were pret- tier girls anywhere than eat candy continually on the Amerlc n ndver-1 tisement page, or chubble babies partaking perseveringly ot patent foods, or more lifelike animals pos ing as trade-marks, or happier house holds than those which gather round a new kind of lamp, or more brilliant parties than assemble here to enjoy the latest sort of musical Instrument. The advertising world Is a place of honest happiness, of perfection even in trifles. of music and light and sport and new books and absolutely safe invest ments. To return from Its enchanted precincts to the sterner and drearier j aspects of real life is represented in the 1! i sr of the mngriiaine is to step down uith a perceptible shock. Napoleon said nice that "of all flg uros of rhetc'ie. the mod eloquent la repetition.” The wise nd vert trer Known that* well. There an- certain facts about ce> aln advertised articles that i the Spcci t knowr. because he can't help himse v lia r he knows the articles o" has seen thephrases so often i y liave become as much a p: jt ;..s mental outfit as Ills A H "H Ho..is," "Absolutely pure," "S-e that hump!" "A perfect food," are all phrases that by the rigorous law of association of ideas immediately sug West the various -articles with which th<y are Indetliby connected. Itepeti tion is the wisest rhetoric of the adver tiser: yet the "Little Schoolmaster" in sists that a varied reiteration Is the true ideal, and that bare repetition means monotony and loss of attraction. Some clever sets of advertising verses seen daily in city street-ears illustrate this; they are bright enough to collect and keep, yet they are noticeably varied in their appeal. A friend of the Spectator's, who. be ing something of an advertiser himself, will never buy anything ut a store which does not advertise freely. "That merchant," he explains, "who does not know the value of advertising is behind the age In one Important particular. He is therefore probably behind it in others. 1 prefer to deal with up-to date establishments." Certainly there is common sense in his contention.— The Outlook. _ Port Darwin, in South Australia, boasts tonv' of the most rcmarkabie ants’ nests in the world. They are known as “magi c” nests, for the simple reason Ihey are, without exception, i ilk a a due north and south direction. Consequently a tra veler journeying through the district In wliich they abound may readily direct his course hv their aid. No living man knows why these tiny architects build them in this way. They are merely one out of th* tany marvels of the great land ‘down under.” It seems, however, probable that instinct leads these tiny creatures to so con struct their dwellings that the fierce noonda'- sun sh .11 have the least pos sible effect ui on their interiors. One-tenth of the inhabitants of the vHI ige of Dong Marston, in Hertford shire, England, are said by a statis tician to have reached the age of tut years. CHANGE OF CLIMATE Not Necessary In Order to Cure Ca tarrh. The popular idea that the only eure for chronic catarrh Is a change of climate, is a mistake because catarrh is found in all climates In all sections of the country; and even if a change of climate should benefit for time the catarrh will certal-iiy return. Oatarrh may be readily cured in any climate, but the only way to do ii is to destroy or 'emovp Trom the system the catarrhal germs whirl) cause all the mischief. The treatment by Inhalers, sprays, powders and washes has been proven almost useless in making a permanent eure. ns they do not reach the seat of disease which is in the b'ood aril can reached only by an internal remedy which acts through the stomach upon ii e blood and system generally.

They take the initiative; they regardless of obstacles; push ahead, they succeed. There is no quality of character that gains more admiration and respect than that which enables a person to form a definite purpose and then con centrate all his energy in executing it. To possess and use this quality, it is necessary to be in a sound mental and physical condition, to have an abun dance of iron in the blood, which gives stamina, vigor and endurance. ironizcs the HBDtirOfl blood>nour* I-r ishes.strcngth ens and steadies the nerves and produces the above result.

Insects think as truly as men do, al though not, of course, on the same scale. This is the belief of M. Forel, a French neurologist, who has been mak. ins observations of ants and bees for relaxation. He thinks that, between the ideas of the naturalist who regards insects as mere automatons and those of ihe man who treats them as if they had human intelligence, there is a happy medium of common sense, and this he has tried to attain. His obser vations teach him that, although most of the acts of insects can be explained by instinct, there remain what he calls "small plastic Judgments," by which they avoid difficulties and steer their way between dangers. The directive faculty of bees especially, and their wonderful memory for places, can hardly be explained on the theory of automatism.

Redman of Ellsworth, acting as attorney for Calvin P. 1 Graves, a life convict in the Maine 1 State prison, has tiled a petition for 1 pardon. The petition is as follows: To the Honorable Governor and Coun- cil for the State of Maine. Respectfully represents Calvin P. 1 Graves, a convict sentenced to confine ment for life in the State prison at I Thoniaston in the county of Knox, for a crime committed before the 16th day of April in the year 1887, that he desires to obtain a pardon, or commutation of such sentence, and makes this written -t request that a full and free pardon be gran ted him, and that the statute re- quirements of notice of this his said application for a pardon be given and a hearing thereon be ordered at such time as may be deemed proper. 1 CALVIN P.

Later on lie was captured on the Pacific coast and brought to Maine for trial. He was defended by the late Col. Jasper Hutchings of Brewer, one of the ablest criminal lawyers of his day, who put up a strong defense, but could not save his client from convic tion. A hearing upon the matter will probably be granted at the next meet ing of the Governor and council, which will occur on Monday, Dec. 15.

Miss Fuller, of Montour Falls, who is a modest young lady with a voice and manner aptly suited to church work. With Miss Johnson, whose superb contralto votes is always a pleasurable contribution. Miss Fuller sang Some Dsy, Some Time, and it has been a long time since that beautiful duet has been mors acceptably rendered. In the evening besides the Te Deum, the quartette de lightfully gave Lead Kindly Ujht.

Gotham Sights as Seen Through Down East Spectacles. John Quill and Carrie Nation Among The Four Hundred. Former Also Sees Magic Working and Goes to Theatre. While over in New York, last week, I had a shy at the horse show. Like that celebiatcd beer that did so much to bring a western town into promi nence, the horse show has made New ork famous. The horse show itself is unquestionably the society event of the season and calls together the smart set ami the horse lovers of both continents. The week is practically given over to this one event and all social functions are shelved or cancelled while the horse is king. The yellow ar.d black in combination, the horse showCcolors, are seen on every hand, from the shop windows on Broadway and Union Square to the avenues and residential portions above 14th Street. While Madison Square Garden, the barn-like structure covering a block or so, where the show is being held is festooned with rosettes and long streamers from gable to cornice in the club colors, as a reminder that the 18th, annual horse show is being held within its portals. Inside the building itself and the grounds are decked out in gorgeous arrays. The blending of the sombre anil pumpkin colors gives a peculiarly odd effect. The long streamers extend from the rafters to the corners and crossed to the boxes. The boxes them selves were very prettily drapped with flags, buntings, ferns and flowers and occupied by the smart set, the society leaders, also representatives of those in the social swim of Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Boston and evrated "Griffon" brand, consisting of all the Instruments needed to keep the nails and hands in proper sjpipe and condi tion.

The Fan an Effective Aid to Lovely Woman. A fan is ever associated with beauty and love, and never does a graceful woman appear more graceful than when using a fan or a piquant woman more chic or engaging. The woman of dignified mein and statuesoue appearance thus employed has an added dignity: the flirt makes eyes with deadlier effect, and even the ugly woman is improved, for she is able to conceal some of her ugliness. As to the fan itself, it is either a prude or a coquette, according to the nature ol the person who wields it. The idea that the fan originated with Bve in the Harden of Bden seems quite probable, for there is little doubt that our coquettish grandmother several times removed was well versed in the art of using this -poem without words." Down through all the ages this trink et that suggests to every mind tales of gallantry and of love, has found a home in every rountry. Magic there certainly is in the little zephyr coaxing telegraph. Folded and unfolded, with a careless ease which only a woman can display, moved quickly in recognition of a friend, or elevated and opened over the head as if to frame it, many a love affair has been helped on by the fan. At one time the use of the fan was reduced to a system. Women were taught how to unfurl fans, discharge fans, ground fans, recover fans and SOLD BY Locke Hewett, Fuller Webber, Geo. D.

These several exercises were described minutely and the time necessary for learning them mentioned. Thus unfurling may be learned In a month; discharging, which, when prop erly done, results in a “crack as loud as the report of a pocket pistol," took longer: while grounding, which merely Included the graceful iiuilting of the fun, might tie acquired in two days. The masterpieces of the whole exer cise. however, was fluttering. This was so complicated and needed such deli cacy of handing that the art could be mastered in not less than three months. There were many flutters; the angry flutter, the modest flutter, the timorous flutter, the confused flutter, the merry flutter, the amorous flutter. Indeed, there was scarce any emotion of the mind which could not produce a suit able agitation of the fan. A fan could be so very angry that It would have been dangerous for the ab sent lover to have come within wind of it. and at other times so very languish ing that the lover should have heard its sighs, no matter how far away he might be. In the eighteenth century, in London, at places of fashionable resort, gentle men chose their partners by “lottery of the fan.’’ The fans of all the women present were placed In a hat. whence each man had the privilege of selecting one. the woman to whom it belonged becoming his partner for the evening. Of course, such a custom entailed a great study of fans on the part of the men. Lieonore d'Estes declared her love by kissing her fan and throwing it to Tasso. A fan belonging to a New York belle, according to tradition handed down in the family, was once bartered for a kiss. Iteautiful as a fan may be and costly, if it does not fold it is a "thing without a soul.” It never has. it never can have the significance, the language, in short, the coquetry, that is inherent in a folding fan. A fan that will not fold differs from one that does as a Priscilla of Puritan times differs from a twen tieth century belle. Flirting with a fan is a phrase which has no meaning with a Japanese wo man. With her it is not an instrument of coquetry; there is no flashing of fans, no arch motions of attraction or repulsion; it is not used to veil the features or suddenly to disclose their unveiled beauty, but it has, neverthe less. a more serious language of its own, as well as defined uses. When a man calls on a woman he always carries a small fan In his girdle sash, which he withdraws as he salutes her and holds in front of him. A pres ent Is offered to a superior In rank by placing it on the half-opened fan, for it would be considered rude to offer it with the hand alone.

Between Mount Kazbek and Ohl marai Khokh in the Caucasus a glacier descends Into the narrow, wedge shaped valley of the Ghenal Don, which after a course of 13 miles Joins the Ghlzel Don, a tributary of the Terek. Like most glaciers of the Caucasus the Ghenal Don has of late years receded considerably, and some years ago co pious springs of hot sulphur water were uncovered by this recession. About the middle of July the whole end of the glacier broke off and slid down the valley, grinding down everything in its path. Thirty-two lives were lost. On July 19 another huge block of Ice broke off and followed the first with terrible rapidity for over elgn* mile* down the valley. HALLOWELL ADVERTISEMENTS. HINT BRAND WILL OPEN
