Crew of Steamer Manhattan Risk Lives to Save Crew of the Deer Isle Schooner Fiheman. Boston, Jan. 24.—Although twice in danger of death, first by water and then by fire which completed the ruin of their craft, the crew of the Rock land, Me., schooner A. Heaton, suc ceeded in reaching dry land and to night were quartered at a marine hotel in the North Knd. The wreck of the Heaton foundered early today two miles east of the Thieves ledge whistling buoy off Boston harbor. Capt. James L. Hart of Glonmoro, Me., and his crew suffered severely in tat severe weather after they were forced from the decks of their vessel. The Heaton sailed from Rockland two weeks ago with 27,000 barrels of lime for New York. She encountered boisterous weather and was obliged to put into Booihbay and Portland for shelter, fe'he left Portland yesterday morning and at about 7.30 last night she ran into a terrific north Weste. a. 1 a thick bank of vapor. This and the zero temperature made it difficult to handle the vessel. In desperation Capt. Hart headed the plunging vessel for Boston but at the must was unable to see Boston light. At 3.30 A. M. the Heaton struck hard on Outer Brewster island. A great hole was torn in the bottom, through which the water rushed in torrents partially tilling the hold. The already drenched seamen were suddenly conlionted by a new element. The water in the hold ignited the car go of lime, aiul in a short time great torrents ot smoke poured from tae hatchways. The men were almost overcome by the fumes of the burning lime, but were able to launch the boat btforc the onrushing flames reached it. The crew barely left the doomed craft when a heavy sea caught her up mid carried her clear of the ledge. The tide carried the schooner in a south westerly direction. She was com plctely enveloped in flames, the lurid glare penetrating the mist for milts. Suddenly the derelict disappeared. About a third of her lower masts show ed above water. The crew had a long row in the cold but finally they succeeded in making a landing at Boston light, where they were cared for by the keeper and bis assistants. The. men reached Boston late today and reported the wreck. Capt. Hart's crew consisted of Mato I union Hutenings of Rockland, Gook Willis K. Wilson of Glenmoro and two sailors named John Smith and James Coffin ii hr. were shipped at Rockland just before the vessel sailed. The A. Heaton was owned by A. C. Gay Sc Go., or' Rockland. Me., and was valued at 5.1300. She was lytilt in 1831 and rebuilt in 1S89. Her tonnage was lt>6. THREE BAD FIRES. Aggregate Losses of $41,000 at Haver hill, So. Deerfield and Clinton. Haverhill. Mass.. Jan. 21.—The Cow ley school on Washington street war totally destroyed by tire an hour be fore school time today, a crack in the furnace being: responsible. The loss on the building: will be $10,000 and the city curries $SCOO insurance on the property. South Deerfield. Mass., Jan. 24.—The Lathrop hotel, together with an ell known as Lathrop hall, was destroyed oy fire today, causing a loss estimated at about $15,000. with partial insurance. The fire started from the explosion ol an oil stove in the laundry. There were 15 or 20 guests, but all had ample time to leave the building before the flames reached the main portion, and they saved most of the effects. The build ing was owned by Savage Hodgkins proprietors of the hotel. The ell was occupied by the post office, the general store of Arthur G. Clapp, a lodge root* and an office. The mail and stamp; were saved. The firemen bad a har schooner, which it is believed sunk soon after she was abandoned. EFFORTS PROVE FUTILE. Four Tugs and Revenue Cutter Fail te Float the Onondaga. Chatham. Mass.. Jan. 24.—Four tugs and tiie revenue cutter Gresham were un.,b!o to lloat I he steamer Onondaga at high tid-' today and it is believed tint thi' steamer which went around on Orleans Poach throe nooks ago will remain in her bed of sand until tiie next course of high tide which will t in about Fob. 1.

The Cor.ej block was occupied by piano ware rooms and a candy store. ENTIRELY SATISFACTORY. Western Maine Pythians Hold Suc cessful Jubilee. Portland. Me., Jan. 2!.—The first West ern Maine I’ythian Jubilee held tonigh: by the lodges of Knights of Pythias ir the Western section of the St.ite war apartments today, where she was attended by her daughter, tho countess of Yarmouth. The other mem bers of the family were in their accus tomed seats in court, behind the defend ant. Howard Ncsbit, n brother of Mrs. Harry Thaw, also was in court, sitting well in the rear with (lie mail who was Stanford White's secretary. Neither ho nor his sister glanced at the other. After meeting the cost of this, cur people are behaving splendidly.” The receipt in this city today of the otticial lull lest r.f the correspondence between Rear Admiral Davis and Gov. Swettenham of Jamaica, which did not differ from tho communication trans mitted by The Associated Press last Sunday night, caused the naval officials to again study the situation to see If Admiral Davis had in any way traits* p-cs.d the bounds r propriety on his visit to Kim,si. n. Th y not only found :i precedent for his landing men from 1 ;.t ships to preserve order, strangely enough i:v tin- ease of another Itritish island in tin West Indies, but also saw nothing in the whole affair to warrant tin Vtt-r addressed to him by Gov.

Mr. Graham told the re presentative of tho Kennebec Journal that the road between Augusta and Winslow would certainly be built in the spring if no legal or other insur mountable difficulties arc met with.

At a special town meeting- recently held Embden voted unanimously to ac cept the proposition made by the In ternational Paper Company that the town place a valuation of $150,000 on what property the company now has and what it may have in the future l'or a period of 15 years. This company intends to build a sulphite and a paper mill, the former to be built first and work to commence early this spring. It is estimated that this enterprise means the expenditure of over SI,000, 000. In addition to the building of the new mills the old plant at Cara tunk falls will be thoroughly repaired and the dain across the Kennebec river raised 10 feet. The rights of flowage have already been settled except in two cases and the railroad damages have been satisfactorily adjusted.

PASS BILL KILLED. Indefinitely Postponed By the New Hampshire House. Concord, X. H.. Jan. 24.—The House of Representatives at noon today voter 175 to 164 to indefinitely postpone tin judiciary committee bill to Increase tin mileage of members and to prohibit the issue of free transportation to tliem h> railroads. The bill has already beer passed in the Senate and .was sent tc the House for concurrent action. The judiciary committee bill had been referred to the committee on ap propriations for recommendation as te its increase for mileage paid from the state treasury, amounting to $7500. The appropriations committee brought in two reports, the majority recommend ing that the bill be so amended as to take effect with the next session of the Legislature, while Mr. Stevenson of Exeter, as a minority of the commit tee recommended that the bill should pass without amendment, taking ef fect at once. A motion was made to substitute the minority report for that of the major ity, causing a long and heated debate, which was terminated by the adoption of the motion to indefinitely postpone. Mr. Ahern of Concord made the longest speech of the day, covering the entire subject of pass legislation and stirring inti rest by his attack upon Winston Churchill, the novelist, and head of the Lincoln Republican Club, who, ho said, had done Now Hamp shire more harm than 10,000 Jethro Rases ever had done or ever could do. Xo man had ever defamed Ntw Hampshire so falsely as had Church ill. said Mr. Ahern, and he had done it for purposes of personal agrandize ment. political glorification and pecun iary gain. None of the members of the Lincoln Club in t he House came to the defence of Mr. Churchill. Pierce of Dover and several other members stated their position briefly as opposed to the present bill, but not to anti-pass legislation in principle, and .Mr. Wilkinson of Fremont aroused ap plause by saying he would vote for a measure to prohibit the issue of passes to anybody, man, woman or child, but considered it an insult to have the members of the Legislature singled out for attack for their acceptance of them.

Washington, Jan. 24.—To ascertain ex actly the conditions upon which Ameri can naval forces were employed in Ja maica, and especially to determine whether or not they were used at the re quest of the colonial authorities, or whether their service was gratuitous. Sec. Metcalf culled for copies of the text of .he letters between Admiral Davis and the British authorities of Jamaica. These were received by cable, last night and a careful examination establishes the point that Admiral Davis did not land naval forces without request, for in his report to the department, among other things lie says: “Yielding to the er.treaties of the colo nial secretary and the inspector of po lice, who spoke for the governor, 1 land ed 50 men under arms from the Indiana.” I This was under date of Jon. IS. and on the same day the following letter was de livexed to Admiral Davis: “Colonial Secretary's Office, “Jamaica Jan. IS, 1907. I “Sir—T beg to thank your excellency1 for the kind assistance which you have rendered to the government of this col ony. I have the honor to be, sir, “Your obedient servant, (Signed) “J. A. SWETTENHAM, “Governor.” In the opinion of the department ’offi cials Admiral Davis is thus entirely re lieved from any criticism, for his action •in landing naval forces.

The assassin then at tempted to blow out his own brains. The name of Whiteiey has become a household word in England owing to the enormous department store in'Lon don run by a company of which Mr. Whiteiey was president and which was tim pioneer in such enterprises. The crime occurred shortly after mid day. An unknown young man was ac corded an Interview with Mr. Whiteiey in the latter's private office, where the two men remained closeted for a few minutes. As Mr. Whiteiey emerged from his office it was observed that the young man was following and impor tuning him, while Mr. Whiteiey was waving his visitor off and threatening to call the police. Suddenly the young man whipped out a retmlver and fired two shots point blank .WWhiteley. The bullets lodged in Mr. Whlteley’s head and he fell dead.

I was under the care of our family physician most t?f the time, but did not seem to get better. “X was completely run down and was not able to do my work about the house. My blood was impure and my complexion pale. I suffered from flashes of heat, followed suddenly by chills. 1 had awful headaches, which lasted from three to four days. I could get but little rest at night, as my sleep was broken and fitful. As a result I lost several pounds in weight and be came very nervous. "I was in a wretched condition when Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills were brought to my notice by a booklet which was left at my house. I started to take the pills at once and began to gain in weight and health, I was encouraged by this to keep on unMl I was cured. My friends and neighbors often remark what a changed woman I am and I owe it all to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.” Those wonderful pills have been used with the best results in the treat ment of stubborn cases of stomach trouble and as they are a powerful blood builder and nerve tonic they are useful in a wide range of dis eases such as anaemia, rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous head aches, and even locomotor ataxia and partial paralysis.

Maud S., a seal brown five-year-old that can go in 2.30 is owned by C. H. Prince of Lewiston. He bought her of a Mr. Stanwcod of Freeport, shoe drummer, but she was raised In Farm ington. She is by Fawn Wilkes, by George Wilkes by Col. Wilkes by Bay e.rd Wilkes. She will be entered in the carnival parade. Tautilla is a 7-yoar-old chestnut mare owned by Dr. A. J. Bowman of Lewiston. She stands 15-2*4 hands and weighs 1,025 pounds. Her sire was Taritiue bv Nelson's Wilkes nnd her dam was Daniel Boone Mare. Dr. Bowman bought her of Mr. Sheehan of Augusta when she was three years old. She can go a 2.30 gait, is fine looking and high acting. A handsome pair of horses tliat has recently attracted attention among Bangor horsemen during the past few days, is the span driven by Dana W. Brown. It consists of Pilot, a chest nut gelding, and Harry T„ a black gelding. In addition to being a finely mated pair, the horses are claimed to be fast and they have displayed some very speedy work in brushes with sonic of the local "flyers.” The Lewiston and Auburn Driving Club is making arrangements for a canrival to be held January 29, 30, 31. It has been decided to offer purses of $50 for the races which will take place on the last two days. The first day there will be three classes, 2.17, 2.25 and 3.00, and on the second day tho events will be 2.20, 2.30, and free-for-all. August Belmont of New York city and other honorary members of the club are expected to be present at the carni val this year. H. B. Grant of Bangor has a six-year old gray mare by Blue Will, out of a dam by Grey. Dan, that has a mark of 2.24*4- The mare has made a trial mile In 2.15, doing the last half in 1.05. Mr. Grant has been offered 1700 for her by Massachusetts parties hut refused. Phe has only been handled by Hr. Grant and the man who raised her, Mr. Shute of Prospect. Frank Grant of lVlnterport. a brother of H. B. Grant, has a sister to this mare, a trotter, also by Blue Will. Tjie dam was the last get of Grey Dan who was by Gideon, a noted horse in his time. The dam of this horse died two years ago at the age of 20 years and even at that age was driven about 20 miles a day. A driving club has been recently or ganized in Madison that will undoubt edly furnish some sport during the rest of the winter. Following are the officers: President, E. A. Weybrant: secretary. L. A. Gill; treasurer. Mont Hilton; Judge, Bethel Snell. The first race will be a matched race Saturday afternoon, above the dam on the ice, between E. A. Weybrknts* two-year old colt, Smuggler Benton, and Henry Hagan's colt of the same age. One half mile heats best, two in three, owners to drive. There will also bo another race between older horses. As there are several fast horses in Madi son and Anson it is expected that the races will be very exciting. MAINE FARMING NOTES. The Xorris Brothers of Burnham re cently dressed three pigs which were only seven months old and weighed 807' pounds. About 73 ribbons were won the. past year by 8. M. King of Klnglceide Farm, Norway. Mr. King exhibited at the leading fairs of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont and won many ribbons, a good many being blue ones. Fr >m GO bushels of sowing of pat J. W. Kimball of Bridgewater raised 823 bushels, machine measure. One hun dred bushels measured, weighed out 11314 bushels. From 9Vs acres of pota toes Mr. Kimball raised 1.100 barrels. He is wintering 11 head of cgttlo and 21 sheep. Without decreasing his herd by selling any off It has netted him in the past year something over 8123. Mr. Kimball believes in mixed farming and has been very successful in carrying such a system of hus bandry into practice. It is estimated that 8130.121,303 will be required to pay the running expenses of New York City for hext year. Red Clever. Second crop red clover makes ex cellent hay for alt kinds of stock. It is usually of good quality because fall weather is cooler than when the first crop is harvested. It is net so badly dried up and holds Its color and aroma better. Then, too. it is finer and is fed with less waste. Some of this bay should be saved for the fall raised calves. They will begin to nibble at It very young, and nothing is hotter for them.

Friday, January 25, 1907. Feminine High Finance. Wall street gets jarred quite fre quently in these strenuous and pros perous times, but the other day some thing occurred there in the line of a get rich quick scheme which was so simple and effective that not only the youngsters were deeply interest'-d, but the most conservative of the old tim ers had to sit up and take notice. As the New York papers tell the story, it happened about this way. A striking ly pretty girl, carrying a confident air and a dinky little handbag, spent the day in calling upon the bulls and bears with tickets for sale which read as follows: ‘For the purpose of assisting in the completion of a musical educa tion of Miss Miriam Edwina I agree to pay the sum in dollars of the number of this ticket. If this number should be the lucky one, and all interests be ing mutual, matrimony will be con sldeerd." Mis3 Miriam had ."50 of th'-se little tickets, and it did not take tne brokers long to figure out that if the tickets were all disposed of she would have a neat little bank account of $61,425. The first ticket was se cured by a young fellow who hoped to get in early on the ground floor, and as his ticket was No. 210 he paid $210 toward Miss Edwina’s prospective musical education in Europe and for Ills chance of winning her as a bride, should 210 be the lucky number and all Interests prove mutual. Just how many tickets were disposed of is not stated, but the truthful re porters declare that she disposed of many of them, the sheer nerve of the scheme when backed by her trim fig ure. blue eyes, and ruby lips being al together too much for Wall street to resist. What chance has mere man In the financial field when girls like Miss Miriam Edwina can pull off schemes like this? The possibilities of such projects are almost limitless, and with this Wall street success as an example the plan is very likely to be put in operation on a smaller scale in other sections. The Words of Our National Song. Some Interesting, not to say appall ing results, followed a test of famiiiar ity to which our national song, the Star-Spangled Haunor. was subjected in the public schools of Brooklyn the oth er day. The song is sung regularly in the schools there, as it Is in the schools of nearly all our American cities, an.l one cf the district superintendents, wishing tc And out how far the pupils understood what they were singing, or dered a test of 10.000 children ranging from 11 to lfi years of age. Out of this large number of presumably intelligeni young Americans only 1«0 wrote cat three stanzas of the national hymn correctly, and most of the remaining 0,000 made so many mistakes and wan dered so far from the text of the hymn that the results were both ludicrous und pitiful. The Brooklyn Eagle quotes one of these verses as a fair sample of their general grotesqueness. O. say can you sec, by the perous fight. ’Vwb.m so proudly we. air. At the Twilight stars glooming. And the robins' red brest. And the stars perilous tigt. came through, through the night. That our Hag w.is Mill there. U. say does that Starbangle. And ever night, and Free, Or the Land of t lie free. And the home of the brave. O sue dot's that 9;ar-Sps.ngle ltaner. Ami let it always be wiving al»ve us. And let it always wave before us. Or the Star's glitter before us. And the Stripes, of the blue. And the Stripes and the stars. This extraordinary version of the national hymn, which is somewhat phonographic in sound, cannot fairly be laid to the child’s ignorance or lack yf patriotic devotion: still less likely is it that the child was knowingly writing a caricature. It is not at all likely that out of any 10,000 average citizens the country over as many as 100 could write three stanzas of The Star Spangled Banner correctly. For that matter, probably the same proportion would fail to write out the ten com mandments. It used to be told as a great joke on Lillian Russell that when n fashionable audience in a leading American city wanted her to sing The Star-Spangled Banner she could not do it because she did not know the words. Probably the joke would have been on the audience rather than on the singer had she requested anybody among them to write out the words for her. All this is in pan a reflection on the human memory if. general and in part is a reflection upon our national hymn, in which the words have little relation to the stoien melody, originally used as a drinking song. It is easy to find in the Brooklyn incident the text for an appeal for a real national anthem, with words and music both American, and wholly simple, dignified and stir ring. but there is small prospect that the need of such a national hymn will be met, and in the meantime we must make the most of the material at hand. Progress in Airships. The Baltimore American has an in- terestmg discussion of the progress in airship construction. The scientists who are interested in the navigation of the air are asking the question. “Is the aii-ship of the future to be a dirigible balloon or is it to be a motor-driven aeroplane?” The American answers that it can scarcely be claimed that this question has yet been determined with definiteness. Mechanical aero plane flight is hn accomplished fact— so much can no longer be disputed. But the aeroplane does not as yet seem to have been brought under as satisfactory steering control as has the gas-bag floated car. Interest at present attaches to the aeroplane chief ly because of what is expected from that method of air navigation, though an actual flight of twenty-five miles has been made, and at an average speed of twenty-five miles an hour. The Wright brothers, who are destined to hold in the realm of aeronautics the same position that Stephenson holds in regard to the locomotive, Fulton to the steamboat and Edison to the electric light, are engaged in the construction of a new and larger aeroplane than any with which they have so far ex perimented. and with which they are confident of driving for a distance of 500 miles and at an average speed of not less than 50 miles an hour. Though great expectations are di rected to the poss'ble future accom plishments in aeroplane flight, there is by no means a lessening of interest In dirigible balloon construction, and no cessation of effort to improve details in this form of air navigation. The de gree of control of ballon ships already achieved is wonderful. The art of steering the gas-bag airship with the wind or against the wind has been so nearly perfected that, as was recently commented upon In The American, the French government has ordered three of these airships for military use, two of which have been completed and de livered. The second of these French military airships was delivered by the makers to the military aeronautic corps on the 15tli of last December. At 10 o’clock on the day of delivery it rose in the air to a height of 658 feet, and then made a straight-line flight to its place of destination, Chalais-Mendon, which was thirty-one and four-tenths miles away. The distance was cov ered in one hour and twelve minutes, or at a speed of twenty-eight miles an nour. 'joum von oeppenn, it is known, is experimenting with and per fecting in various particulars a monster airship, which is credited with being able to lift three tons in addi tion to its own weight. The Zeppelin ship has made several tlights, though the inventor does not as yet regard it as a finished contrivance. The American predicts that the year 1M7 will be notable for airship achieve ments, botli on the part of the dirigible balloon type of crafts and the aero plane machine designs. Numerous prii.es have been offered for specified accomplishments in air navigation. The largest of these is the $'>0,000 prize which the London Daily Mail recently offered to anyone who will travel by aeroplane from London to Manchester within one day. On a straight line this is a distance of about 150 miles, and, as the present aeroplane record flight is only something over twenty five miles, there is considerable mar gin of difference to be overcome. If the Wright brothers achieve their ex pectations. however, this prize will be captured. The Aero Club of America has offered a $1,500 prize for a balloon race at Jamestown, and it is highly probable that additional stimulus will he given to this air contest event by the putting up of other prizes. This has been called the iron age, and the- reason for the term is appar ent when we have before us a few fig ures showing the marvelous develop ment of the iron and ste»l industry within the ?>ast generation. In DM) the total output of pig iron throughout the world was 1S.500.00U tons. Of this total Knglaiui furnished 7.750,000 tons anil the United States -1,000.000. Ger many supplied C.500.000 tons. The estimates tor last year show a total output of about 60.000.000 tons, with this country in the lead as a producer. Our output approximated 25,000,000 tons, or one-third more than the world's total supply in 1S80. Germany increased to 11.750,000 tons and Kng iand to 10.250.000. Thus within the past few years England has dropped from first to third place, and the out put of our own country lias increased until it now doubles that of both Eng land and Germany, its closest competi tors. Moreover, 95 per cent, of our output is used here at home and the value of the metal in its various fin ished forms runs up into billions of dollars. We are told that Evelyn N'esbit Thaw- spends an hour with her hus band in prison each day.

There were three candidates. Two of them, who believed their chances octual, agreed to shake dice as to which should withdraw, and did so. The governor heard of it and appointed the third candidate to the place. j The great desirablity of having more >f our immigrants settle in country listricts instead of herding in the arger cities is not only recognized in :his country but it appears that the ands from which our immigrants come realize that such a thing would be much better for the immigrants them selves. The immigration commission ?r of the Rock Island railroad, C. B. Schmidt, recently returned from a trip So Italy, had an audience with the ting, who said that he would aid as rar as possible in directing his sub lets contemplating going to the United states to settle in agricultural regions, rhis has become the avowed policy of the Italian government, the sound con rlur.ion having been reached that bet ter results all around will be attained if Italians locating in the United States engage in farming rather than go to the cities. A commission appointed by the king of Italy is now in this coun try studying to learn about the best lgricultural locations in the United ■states, and recent Colorado news papers report the commission as look ing over the ground in that state. maitte 6os$ip On the Briage.

The Maine Press Association meeting always brings along either a blizzard or a thermometer-wrecking cold wave. if anybody picked a sprig of may flowers while on their way to work yes terday morning they have neglected to notify the Journal of it. Paris appreciates its public library as is indicated by the fact that it took out 1,854 more books in 1806 than in 1905. Biddeford is in the clutches of a grit) epidemic. There are more cases of the disease in the city at present than lias been the ease for a number of years. Men. women and children are alike affected, and the families are scattered that have not one or more members on the sick list. It having been claimed that brown tail moths are brought to Maine on the P.oston steamers, it is now sug gested that it would be a good idea to have an inspector on each of the steamers leaving Boston for Maine ports, the duty of these officials being “to destroy the pests on the boats” before they reach Maine. This leads the Biddeford Journal to remark that as the term “pests” might include not only brown-tail moths but any other variety of small cattle that travel on steamers, the idea certainly has its advantages. A Bangor man, in his effort to de scribe the coldest place in the world, spoke of a shed that was “too cold to keep wood In.” and this was the limit until this correspondence came in from Mount Desert concerning the weather down there last week: A fisherman of Otter Creek says a big codfish was so attracted hy the warmth of a gaso line heater in his dory that it jumped into the boat and tried to wrap it self around the lifater. It froze in a half circle. Jed Jerkins, of Trenton, went to the barn to water his stock. He fell and upset the pail. Before he could step out of the water his boots ftoze to the floor. He had to take his boots off to get away. One of the features of the opening of the Wisconsin legislature, says the Madison, Wis., Democrat. was t'nc presence of Robert B.

Me., January 18. 1S27, and came to Wisconsin in 1818, settling in Dodge county. Ho afterward moved to Portage, Columbia county, where he now lives with his wife and where he is yet interested in Dusiness as vice- president of the leading bank.

The estimates for the upper St. John are 135.000. 000 to 160,000,000 feet, of which J nbout 100,000,000 feet will be cut in Maine. The figures include the Allagash, that stream being a tribu tary of the St. John. On the Aroos- Look river the cut will be considerably less than last winter, on account of !omo of the large concerns having a large stock of old logs on hand. The Ashland Company, which usually cuts 55.000. 000 feet, will not cut more than naif that quantity this season. The Fish River Lumber Co. will cut 15.- 100,000 feet, much of which is being i hauled directly to their mills at Engl? 1 Lake. A steam log hauler is enri' |-.loyed In hauling for this company 1 nver a ten-miles road from Township 16. Range X, to the mills, and about .,300.000 feet will be transported in this way. It is said that the steam hauler can do the "work of twenty pairs of horses, making two trips a flay, with 100 logs at a load. The total out on the St. John river this winter is estimated at 303.000,000 feet, of which 153.000,000 feet is on the upper river, lOO.OoO.OOO oil the Miramichi and 50.000. 000 on the Restigouclie. In 1906 there were, exported from New Bruns wick ports to the United States and trans-Atlantic ports 430,000,000 feet of lumber, a. considerable increase over exports for 1905. To the United States alone the port of St. John shipped lum ber and wood pulp valued at $1,799,683, an increase of $333,000 over 1905. Personal Notes.

The profitable feeding of live stock is one of the main features of farm ing. yet farmers are so accustomed to j feeding certain foods that they "will i not readily change from one kind to another, although there is such a thing as feeding an abundance while the animal is really Insufficiently sup plied. For example, c'-rn is deficient in lime, though rich in oil in starch. Hogs that ate fed mostly on corn be come weak because there are insuf ficient hone-forming elements in the food, and it 1ms been the ease that whole herds have died, apparently from disease, when in fact the animals simply demanded proper foods. In one case, where, a farmer lost a num ber of hoys, and had attributed the cause to “hog cholera,” all remedies tailed until one of the hired men hap pened to try wood ashes. At once an improvement was noticed, and soon the so-called disease was conquered. The fact .was that wood ashes contain a large proportion of lime, as well as a certain percentage of phosphates, thus supplying the animals with something that could not be procurred from the torn, and yet every farmer should un derstand such fact, though many of them will not devote their attention in that direction. It is not at all nec essary for any farmer to feed wool ashes to swine. When a hog shows a desire for wood ashes the evidence is produced that, the feed is deficient in lime and phosphates. Hogs consumo ■wood ashes because they do not re ceive something better. Secretary Wilson, of the Agricultur al Department, is preparing to educate the hen, the simple-minded, industri ous fowl which adds so much to na tional wealth. The hen has been doing pretty well in the past, producing eggs and hatching chickens and making no fuss about it. Last year there wen; twelve billion eggs laid in this country^ It is considered a pretty good job for a hen to lay 140 eggs a year. At a cent apiece this Is producing large returns from tlm investment. But the govern ment is not satisfied. It thinks it can produce a hen that will lay 365 eggs a year, allowing no rest on Sundays or legal holidays. The idea Is to keep the hen from reverting to her mater nal instincts. This is hard on the hen, seems unconstitutional In fact, but it is a fine exhibition of the strenuous ness of modern life, the best exempli fication of the law of the surviv al of the fitest. Hens must work all the time and only incubators without motherly feeling must rear the brood. It is rough on the hen, but we welcome the chpnge in the interest of the en larged breakfast table. Merino breeders in Vermont took a sheep that sheared nine pounds, and they developed a sheep that choired •it pounds. They took :t carcass that weighed 100 pounds, and they mad one th^it weighed :;00 pounds. They sold rams for S3 per head, and they sold rams for $3,i!00 p bead. Tin y sent Merinos to evry part of the •world where better sheep were want ed. There has been a great improvement in beef rattle during the last half cen tury. Fifty, years ago the average of cattle raised for beef was only fcOO pounds, live weight. Xow the average is about 1,400 pounds. This increase in weight has been accomplished by the introduction of the Tiritish beef breeds. A schoolboy assigned to prepare an essay on “Ducks," wrote: “The duck is a low, luavy-set bird, composed mostly of meat and feathers. He is a mighty poor singer, having a hoarse voice, caused by getting too many frogs in his neck. He likes the water and carries a toy balloon in his stom ach to keep from sinking. The duck has only two legs, and they arc set so far back on his running gears by na ture that they came pretty near miss ing bis body. Some ducks, when they get big. have curls on their tails and are called drakes. Drakes don’t have to set or hatch, but just loaf, go swim ming and eat. If T was to bo a duck I’d rather be a drake every time." Success With Lilies. In spite of the beauty of lilies and the ease with which they may be grown, few of them are seen in private gardens. This lack may be remedied by following a few simple rules. There is a vast variety of lilies and among them may be found those suitable for almost any kind of soil. The firHt: requisite for .successful lily euiture is good drainage, r.ot only on tho surface of the bed, out at its bot tom as well. This may be obtained by raising the bed several inches above the surrounding level and placing broken crockery, pots or stones in tho bottom, spading the bed twt> feet deep. The best soil is a loam enriched with thoroughly rotted manure. If the soil is heavy a liberal quantity of sand, mixed well will insure better drainage and prevent decay. A little sand di rectly beneath each bulb insures against decay. The beds should be kept free from weeds and cultivated occasionally in dry weather. Mois ture may also be saved in dry, hot weather by mulching the beds with straw or old manure. The bulb should be planted five to eight inches deep. This depth of earth will better enable the plants to [withstand drouth ar.d cold. A cover ing of leaves, straw or manure should bo used to protect the bulbs from Hie alternate freezing anti thawing of the ground in winter. This mulch should be removed when the shoots appear in the spring. As the amateur gardener proceeds with lily gardening from year to year ho will learn needs of oat h va riety. but in general tip- foregoing in structions will suffice. A 6 By 8-Foot Carden. When :t year ago last October I look ed on the small yard, which was sim ply an ash and rubbish heap, at the back of the house. I said, “X will make a bower garden.’’ speaking with tiie assurance of utter inexperience as to garden making outside of a f< w inva I lid potted plants. I began, anil having begun ks pt at it notwithstanding that unthonght-o; difficulties and labor. As it was to be rt garden in :uma ture it was planned with exactness j and with an eye to the harmony of the j various blooms l elected to have. T had often read of. and seen grass j paths. ^1 longed for or.e: so eleven inehes wen marked off th<‘ fill! length of the C-foat plot, leaving a bed eight- 1 eeu inches ale ort one side. Tit larger space on the other side was nub divided, for easier handling, by a curv ed path of ovstor shells ten inches wide. The making of this grassy way ■was toll indeed, but not regretted. The grass I dug from nearby lots in tlio fall and X chose that which grew near trees, in small patches rather than the. larger sods 1 had not strength to handle. Mary of the pieces were only a fe w incht s .square. The fairy path was finished by the llrst week in November, also a narrow grass border for the plots. All this must be con stantly dipped and kept within bound:;.—Maiden Magazine. About Pigs. The rule is to grow the pigs during the period when grass is abundant, and fatten them when cold weather arrives, never keeping a pig over from fall until spring if it can be avoided, though it may be mentioned that the large hog also has its admirers. An experienced breeder, who is partial to extra-heavy hogs, claims that hogs can not be too large or fat, as Indi viduals have been known to reach 800 pounds, or more. To make his hogs grow fat when they had become too sluggish to go to the trough and eat, because their limbs were too weak to support their bodies, he takes the food to them when lying down, and they win eat and thrive for many weeks after they are unable to walk to the trough. Such a method, how ever, Is too laborious to be generally practiced. Let them eat, rest and sleep, A good hog will then add con lidersible weight to its nody, and it Is lotnetinies well not to slaughter them r.o early. It must not be overlooked hat the manure is also a valuable tom or#prnH!. The opinion is general hat corn-fed pork is harder, contains nore nutriment and shrinks loss in the id and in the frying pan than pork fed on milk, slops or partly on flesh, is happens when swine are kept and iid in .-daughter yards, and no doubt he corn-foil pork is superior; at least xpi rienco t< aches the farmer that it s one of the most profitable modes of :1 imposing of corn, and that it also pays to give the pigs a variety rather than to eonflne them to only one kind of Food. Forced Vegetables. 'V ;H you enjoy a dish of asparagus o' rhubarb, before tho outdoor crops ire ready? Dig up the roots In De ■••mhr:-. and put. them In boxes, where they may he stored away In the cellar or other cot;!, dark place. These roots can bo forced In December and Janu nry in cold-frames (using manure to give the necessary heat), under the greenhouse benches, or In a heated •’•■’lav, where they can be kept moist, r; Is considered better to let the roots ret one good frost before forcing Is be gun. Select strong roots, preforably ihree or i^tur years old. Unless the frames are ventilated from time to time, mildew will surely attack the growing plants. When ever the air Is above freezing tem perature, uncover the lights, and venti late by fixing the sash open with a block. Raise It six Inches on a very warm day. A piece of wood 2x4x9 inches Is a handy adjunct to a frame. Have some hay piled In a convenient place ready tor throwing over the frames during extra cold weather. At other times the mats and shutters wili be sufficient. Make shutters for the frames at once. The right size for convenient handling is 8x6 feet These are to be put over the mats, which they pro tect The snow can be shoveled off the shutters much more easily than from the mats.—Garden Magazine. The Ground-Hog. The Weather Bureau of the Department of Agriculture issues an inconoclaste bulletin in which it states that long-range weather forecasts as based on the posi tion of the planets, phases of the moon, stellar Influences, or by the observation of animals, birds and plants have no legitimate basis. This all means that the traditional ground-hog, goose bone, changes of the moon, and other time-hon ored weather Indicators as a matter of fact have nothing to do with the weather, and therefore must be eliminated from the calculations of the farmer who wants to be up-to-date.—Farming.

Representative Waldron of Dexter mtroduccu the much discussed Em ployers^ Liability Act Thursday morn ing. This bill has appeared in the press in full and Las received attention .lorn a number of editorial writers. The principal point involved is that removing the “fellow servant” stum bling block which has defeated many efforts to recover by suit. Contributory negligence is to be considered, in a suit for dam ages, but it not to prohibit re covery, in a case where an employe is killed or injured.

Representative Newbert of Augusta introduced a Rill providing for an In spector of Milk and Vinegar ill the city of Augusta. This is in line with meas ures in most of the other Maine cities. Senator Hrown of Kennebec pre sented in the upper branch a Rill de signed to give druggists the right to sell intoxicating liquors under certain restrictions. The Rill is as follows: Sec. 1. Registered apothecaries to whom a certitica.e of fitness has been issued as herein provided, may sell in toxicating liquors upon a prescription of a registered physician practicing i.i such town or city, provided such pre scription is dated, contains the name of the person prescribed tor and is signed by the physician. All such prescrip tions shall be retained and kepi on file in a separate book by the apothecary filling the same and shall not be filled a second lime. Sucn prescription book shall lie open at all times to inspection as provided in Sec. IT of said Chap. ;!0 in case of the sale of poison. Sec. 2. The Rourd of Commissioners of Pharmacy may. upon the payment by each applicant of a fee of not more than $1 issue annually to registered apothecaries certificates of fitness pro viding such registered apothecaries are actively engaged in business on their own account or are members of a firm or corporation conducting the business of an apothecary. In such cases reg istered apothecaries shall own not less than $500 in the busines of said firm or corporation. Such certificates of .fit ness slutl be subject to suspension of revocation by the Board of Commis sioners of Pharmacy upon conviction of violation of this Act by any holder thereof or upodi written complaint, and after a hearing upon such complaint by said board. The funds collected from the payment of the fees lien-a provided for it shall be used by the board ir. paying its expenses hereunder, including the supervision of those hold ing permits and the investigation of suspected violations thereof. Sec. 3. Whoever violates any of the provisions of this Act shall be pun ished by a fine of not less than $50 nor more than £500 or by imprisonment tor not less than on? or more than six months or by both such fine and im prisonment. Senator Proctor of Cumberland in troduced a Rill creating a system of licenses for engineers of portable and stationary steam engines, obtainable by examination as to fitness, somewhat after the style of the Masssachusetts law.

The act provides that at each crimi nal term court in the counties where the liquor deputies have performed their duties, they shall present their accounts to the justice presiding to be allowed in the bill of costs for the term and be paid by the county. It s further provided that all fines collect ed by prosecutions undertaken by the Sturgis commission or its deputies, and all fines collected during the time when a special attorney is ap pointed to perform the duties of the attorney for the State for a county shall‘belong to the county in which the prosecution is held.

The proposition to build a bridge across the Kennebec river at or near Pishon's Ferry between tne towns of Fairfield and Clinton was given a heat ing before the committee on ways and bridges Thursday afternoon, A resolve has been introduced carrying with it the sum of JUi.OOO as the State’s portion of the expense of construction. The case was presented before the committee for the promoters of the pro ject by Representative George Weeks of Fairfield, who called about IT, wit nesses to the stand, all of whom testi fied to the great advantages that would be derived from a bridge at this point. Among them was E. A. Xye of Fair field who said that the destiny of Ca naan village is its water powers and that they will never be utilized unless the bridge is built, for the ferry is a thoroughly unsafe, inconvenient and expensive way of communication with the cut side world. George Foster of Canaan in the course of his remarks told of an in cident where a young couple intent on getting married has been compelled to go to Skowhegan to have the ceremony performed because they could not get across the river to Good Will Farm to “Brother Hinckley's.” jn more serious vein and with great earnestness the witness went on to say. “We have as good a farming country up there in Canaan as there is in the State of Maine. We are sober, industrious, and good farmers. You will tind all the fai nts in good condition, the buildings well painted and a gen eral air of prosperity, but we need bet ter facilities for getting to markets and to the towns than we have had up tlteic the past 100 years. The salvation of Canaan village is that bridge. We de serve this bridge because the State of Maine is in a condition to give it to US.” T. B. Barrett, a prominent merchant and business man of Canaan, reviewed the situation very ably and also show ed the possibilities of the region. He spoke of the proposed electric road which will surely be built it the bridge is erected. The granite in Canaan The Heart Can’t Stand Rheumatic Acid Poisoning To Free and Correct the Blood a Uric O Treatment is Advised. There is great danger in those sharp, shooting pains through the chest around the region of the heart. It means that poisonous uric and rheumatic acid are there ready to spring and grip tightly the muscles controlling the heart’s action. Don’t neglect these warnings, they arc the danger signals Nature flashes to you for help. You must neutralize and drive these dangerous poisons from the system, or sooner or later they will overcome you. The only true way to cure Rheuma tism Is to get at it from the inside with Uric-O. ft acts with marvelous swiftness upon the muscies, kidneys and blood. Cleats out the sand-like deposits in the muscles, forces the kidneys to perform those duties for which they were designed and neutral izes the acid within the blood. Your physician will admit that this is the only true way to cure Rheuma tism permanently, and should know that Urie-O is the one remedy that will do it successfully and per manently. Uric-O is a liquid taken internally, 3 times daily and does not contain a drop of alcohol, opium or other dangerous poisons. It is good for Rheumatism in any form. Sciatica, Muscular, Inflammatory and Articular Rheumatism all yield readily to Uric-O. The store of Percy W. Means is the home of Urlc-O in Au gusta and if you call on him. he can tell you of many wonderful cures that XTric-O has made right here in your own home town. lie sells it for 75c. and $1.00 the bottle or you can obtain a trial bottle free by writing to the makers of Uric-O. the Smith Drug Co., Syracuse.

Lumber, he said lukl be hauled out of Canaan over the bridge for 50 cents less per thous and than it is now being hauled out by the way of Skowhegan. This point is the natural outlet to the rich farm ing country lying round about and the bridge would so raise the valuations that the money spent by the State will soon return to its treasury. Others speaking for the bill were: llnrrv Greene of WaterviUe, Rev. G. W. Hinckley of Good Will Farm, \V. T. Tot man. G. S. Ricker, M. D. Holt, Wal ter Palmer. Guy Hume, and Melvin Palmer of Fairfield; Scott Lord, F. J. Moody, Dr. Lowe and Samuel Strick land, the ferryman, of Canaan. Man ley Morrison and S. P. Felker of Clin ton also spoke in favor. John Towne of the American Rridge Co. showed plans to the committee, of several kinds of bridges suitable for this location. report "ought to pass" on the act to amend the charter of the Augusta Wa ter District; and on an act to regulate the use of certain roads in the town of Mount Desert. The joint standing committee on educa tion devoted yesterday afternoon to the investigation of the accounts and conduct in office of W. W. Stetson of Auburn, State superintendent of schools. The proceedings were opened in the depart ment of education, but so many wished to attend that it was necessary to ad journ to the Hall of Representatives. No one appeared to prefer charges against Mr. Stetson. Representative Knowlton of Monson read the charges preferred in tho editorial columns of one of the papers of the State. Edward Wiggin of Presque Isle was first called to the stand. His testimony dealt largely with the routine business of tile office. lie denied going into Aroos took county to canvass for any political party or any individual in reply to ques tions along that line from Representa tive Murphy of Portland. Mr. Stetson took the stand, after a short executive session. His first ques tion was, whether the hearing had been properly advertised. Chairman Stearns replied thm it had, but that r.o one had appeared against him. Mr. Stetson told the committee that he conformed with the law in regard to keeping a record of his expenses. The questions asked Mr. Stetson bore directly upon this point. He was on the stand when the committee adjourned the hearing at 6 o'clock until Thursday. Jan. 31. The committee on appropriations and financial affairs heard yesterday after noon the testimony ir. behalf of tho Children’s Aid Society of Maine, sit uated at Belfast, carrying with it an appropriation of $1500 per year for each of the years of 1907 and W, and in ex ecutive session voted to report that the resolve ought to pass. The committee heard the testimony concerning and voted to report "ought to pass” on the resolve carrying with it $2(100 per year for each of the years of 1007 and 1900 for the Rar Harbor Medical and Surgical hospital. The principal hearing of tho nfternoon before this committee was that on tho resolve calling for an annual appropria tion of $5C0f> for regular expenses at the Eastern Maine General hospital at Ilan gor and $15,000 to aid In the erection of a men's and children's wing. The first ap propiratlon is the same as has been giv en the Institution for several years. Tha second is asked for with the provision that the trustees raise from other sources the sum of $25,000. John Wilson. Isaiah K. Sietson, Representatives Mullen and Strickland, Dr. E. A. Robinson and Dr. G. F. Woodcock of Rangor and Dr. Weld of Old Town appeared in support of the resolves. There was no opposition. The committee voted to report “ought to pass" on this resolve also. PERSONAL MENTION. Miss Mary Huntington Is visiting friends in Boston. T. D.

The concert recital given by Prof. Ed ward Abner Thompson of Boston at the Congregational chapel last evening un der the auspices of the Current Events Club was an event long to be remem bered. Prof. Thompson haif^wompletely captivated his two Augusta audiences this week. He posses a voice of wonder ful purity and flexibility and is Certainly one of the finest dramatic readers that have ever visited this city. After hear ing him recite “The Legend of St. Mun gret's Bell.” one is prepared not only to concede that he is a consummate artist in his profession, hut also that the Eng lish^ language is the peer of any other in its potential power and beauty. While Prof. Thompson is pre-eminent ly a dramatic reader, he has a repertoire of delightful humor which was largely drawn upon last evening by repeated en cores. As a singer he was* equally ap preciated, his strong, pure, organ-like tones holding the breathless attention of his audience. Prof. Thompson was graduated from Bowdoin College in the class of ISM, and is also a graduate of the School of Ex pression in Boston. Augusta has a warm welcome in store for him at any future entertainment he may give here. Very pleasing piano solos by Mrs. Mitchell and Miss Whltehouse were also enjoyed as part of the, evening's enter tainment. The program: PART I.

Blakely, though 11 minutes behind Karp’s record of last year, drove a pretty race, distancing every competi tor. Hutton in an English gasoline car, finished second, 36 minutes behind the winner. The 10-mile handicap to machines of all claries and power was won by Blakely in the same car in which he i drove in the 100-mile event. Blakely had a 45-second handicap and covered the distance in S.41.

The date is Feb. 7, and it will be the best drawing entertain ment of the winter. Charles W. Bradbury of Belfast ar rived in town yesterday for a short stay, having come here on .matters of business. City Marshal Charles b. Karmon of Biddeford and Messrs. Ford and Stone of the same city, were in town yester day on business matters. U is announced that there will be no Spiritualist meeting at Grand Army hall on Sunday, Dee. 27, as advertised on the society’s calender for 1907, be cause of the illness of the speaker. Col. Lucius M. Kendall of Biddeford, commanding the 1st. Regiment of In fantry, X. G. S. M„ arrived in the city yesterday, called here on matters of busino-3 connected with the Guard. Quite a number of people are now coining from Prince Edward Island and fr im Aroostook county to work in the cotton mills, and several parties have arrived within the past 10 days. Two or three families arrived on train 102 yesterday afternoon front Madawaska. and it is reported that there are in all li families coming from that place. John M. Coleman of South Boston was the guest of Augusta friends Fri day, having eome to the city on a com bined business and pleasure trip. Mr. Coleman is a well-known burnt cork artist, and has been associated with the amateur minstrel performance at South Boston for a long time. He remained in the city last evening to tak- in the hew Dockstader mintre^. Bowley Green, the well-known evan gelist, delivered a lecture at the Green street Methodist church last evening, lieiore a large and interested audience. The subject was “England and En glishmen,” and the lecture was closely listened to throughout. Mr. Green is an easy speaker with fine descriptive power, and holds the attention of his audience to the c-nd. The subject of the lecture last evening was well cho sen and the lecture was a source of much pleasure to those who heard it. Patrick O'Neil was up against the municipal court yesterday morning on a charge of intoxication, and as far as could be ascertained he had no excuse to offer for being found in that con ditioh. It was learned that he hal just finished a term of service at the jail, having been liberated Wednesday I morning, and as he criticised the com forts of the police station as compared with those lurnisneu t>y me county au thorities at the jail, he was given an opportunity for further enjoyment of the latter for a period of 30 days. The peanut stand owned by Meset'W Rodrick at the corner of Water and Bridge streets, was partially destroyed by lire at about.9.30 yesterday morn ing, with a loss of perhaps $00, and no insurance. The fire was due to an overheated stove and the interior ot I the stand was badly burned. The fire was discovered by Chief Engineer Buckley, who had just stepped up to the thermometer at the front of Means’ drug store to see how cold the weather Was. A telephone call was sent to the Cushnoc hose house and the team speedily responded. Several chemicals were used to kill out the blaze, and the interior of the stand and its con tents were badly scorched. The extreme cold weather of Thurs day caused a postponement of the ice races which were to have been pulled off on the Hallowed track in the after i noon under the management of the Kennebec Central Driving Club, and i they will be started this afternoon if i the weather permits. Tiie free-for-all j class will be made up largely of Au i gusta horses and those starting will be Walter Webb's bay gelding Hello Bill, Warren Malcolm's mare Nclsonita and Oscar Anderson's mare Beliadoni, j while in the 2.24 class the Augusta competitors will be Frank Wellman's Antonia. S. T. Stilkey's Moletta and J. Manley Nichols’ Jim S. Frank Harring ton of Gardiner will start the well know campaigner Chub in the free-for all and Jack Oconby in the 2.24 class. With good weather there will he a large attendance and with the list of entries there ought to be some fun. The fact that the human conscience still exists is sometimes shown in funny ways, as is demonstrated in a Utter which has been received in this titv from one of the offices along the lino ,,f the Boston Maine Railroad. 1 lie letter says: “Sometime during the summer of 1901 someone travelling on the Maine Central Railroad between Winslow and Augusta, Maine, lost a pocket hook containing a sum of money and a 30-day ticket reading Winslow, Me. to Augusta, Me., and return. The ticket bears the agent's stamp at Winslow. About two weeks ago n woman entered this office and laying the purse on the counter claims she found it about that time, but she had recently Joined a new religious order and decided to reform and repent and said that her conscience troubled her so that she could keep the poeketbook no longer, and as she wished to be all right when she left this earth, she turned it in.” The souvenir postal fad was in its early stages a very pretty one. but with its almost phenomenal growth it has now reached proportions which ponder it in some respects a nuisance, one of those respects being tin- growing idea on the part of the general public that these cards are sold at the differ ent postolficos of the country the same as are the regular postal cards issued by the government, which is entirely wrong. Requests arc frequently re ceived at the Augusta postoiflce from different sections of the countdy. ask ing i.ot only for single cards bearing local views, but for whole packages which if sent out would give a pano ramic view of the city. The latest to he received was a request from a young lady in an Oregon town, who wanted cards showing the buildings of the In sane hospital, as she was making a collection of the Insane hospitals of ihe l'nitc.1 States. As a consideration for the cards asked for she was ready l■ j exchange any Oregon views that the j postoffice officials might desire.

Lew Dockstaler. the great and only, and his minstrels, have come and gone, and have left behind them the memory of a night of music, song and fun which will long be remembered. Dook stader is always a favorite with an Augusta audience, and always draws a crowd, and the one which greeted him last evening lilbd the Opera house to the doors. Among those present was a large delegation of the Augusta Lodge of Elks. His show, too, is always a good on°, and is this year it possible a little bel ter than ever. Everything is new and up-to-date with one exception an 1 the program is one that keeps ihe audi ence convulsed with lauglUt r from first to last. The stage settings are among the finest ever si ‘>n in a minstrel show, and are done in green, with a display of emerald lights which produce an ef fect of much richness. Add to this the members of the troupe fit their evening dress and the scene is complete. ’Ihe first part was exceptionally well done. The harmony of the voices was good, and the orchestra, which was a fine one, blended its music with the voices of the singers in a way that was most pleasing, neve r intruding or let ting one unduly feel its presence. i lie singers wa re all given a most cordial reception. Johnny Dove, in his song, ‘Td Rather be a Lamp Post in a New 1 ork Town,” wen hearty ap plause. as did Manuel Remain in •Sweet Julienne” and “My Roston Girl.” Mr. Roma in is well known among Augusta lovers of. minstrelsy and is always a favorite. Another lllPITllll'P Will) WHO cored was Xeil O’Brien, who is one of the brightest stars in the minstrel Armament. Mr. Dockstadcv made his appearance mar the close of the first part and was given a regular ovation. His conver sation with Interlocutor Morse was one of the funniest bits of the evening. Two songs by Reese Prosser were much en joyed, and the closing song of the part “The Rosary.” by the double quartet was exquisite. The second part included The Hot Air Subway.” which was very funny, ^Ir' r>ocksfcu,er’s new skit entitled "The Editor,” which was one of the best things on the program. The piece a horded an excellent opportunity for local hits and none were allowed to pass unheeded. Kddie Leonard and his dancing bovs made good and John Xoff, the man who hits only the high places, got a big hand ol approval at the end. The show elostd with the song, ‘Moon Love” tuneful bit sung by Manuel Remain anr* tho whole company. Bertha the Sewing Machine Girl.” /Vr. °pcra House next Thursday A. H. woods will present his new play of the people entitled "Bertha, the Sew ing Machine Girl,” an intensely in teresting drama of modern time n, four acts and twelve scenes. The scene is hud in Xew York city and tells a powerful story of tire struggles of a poor young girl to earn an honest liv ing for herself and her blind sister. The play is full of exciting incidents and tbriiling situations while the stage pictures are unusually vivid. Among the scenes the more striking are: The Grand Central Station. X. Y. Central Park; the Sweat Shop, the Mysterious Egyptian Room; the Motor Boat Chase on the Harlem River; the Fire Engine House during an alarm; the great Fire Scene, showing a thrill ing rescue with the life net and th. stirring Court Room scorn*.

F/iskes Trouble For People With Weak Intestinal Digestion. A lady in a Wis. town employed a physician who insti ucted her not to cat white bread for two years. She tells tile detail- of her sic kness and she cer tainly was a sick woman. “In the year 1S;>7 I gave out from over work, and until 1301 I remained an invalid in hed a great part of the lime. Had differ, nt doctors but noth ing seemed to help. I suffered from cercbro-spinal congestion, female trou ble and serious stomach and bowel trouble. My husband cal led a new doe j tor and after having gone without any food for 10 days the doctor ordered Grape-Nuts for me. I could eat to. new food from the very first mouthful, i The doctor koj t me on Grape-Nuts and tho only medicine' was a little glycerine to heal tho alimentary canal. “When I was up again Doctor toll me to eat Grape-Nuts twice a day and j no white bread for two years. 1 got well in good time and have gained in j strength so I can do my own work j again.
