THE SURVIVORS, Boston, July 17.—Three of the 12 sur vivors uf the accident on the battleship Georgia Monday, front which nine deaths have resulted, were lying in an extremely critical condition today in the United States naval hospital at Chelsea, where they were taken after the accident. The condition of one of the three, Louis O. Meese, a seaman, who enlisted at Berea, Ohio, was so dangerous that the physicians at the hospital stated that it was a matter of less titan 24 hours before he would be listed as one of the victims. The other two who were the most seriously in jured are Midshipman Janies F. Cruse of Omaha, Neb., who, however, has shown a slight Improvement since yes terday, and James P. Thomas of Brooklyn, N. Y., whose condition was reported as being without change. The body of Seaman William F. Pair was sent to his home in Brooklyn to day and that of Seaman Kdmund J. Walsh to Lynn. There is now but one bodv at the hospital. Reports from the hospital at noon were that there was no change in the condition of any of the patients dur ing the forenoon. The Georgia returned to Boston to day. arriving at the navy yard about 1.20. It is understood that the purinse of bringing this battleship here now is to allow the board of inquiry which has been conducting the investigation on board the vessel, to go to the ros pital and take the depositions of such of the injured men In the wards as are able to tell their story. The Georgia came into the harbor aliout 2 o'clock and anchored. The navy yard tug Sioux was sent out to th« vessel to bring ashore the members of the heard of Investigation.

EMBARRASSMENT d t Is Caused By the Attitude of New Foundlanders. Fisheries Question Shows No Signs ot a Solution. Desired Provincial Restrictions Would Exclude Americans. Washington, July 17—The approach of August 1, marking the beginning of the new herring fishing season on the .oast of New Foundland, is a matter of great concern to the state department, for it finds the flshe^; controversy between America and «treat Britain in a most confuted and unsatisfactory shape. The modus vi vend! entered into last year by 1 terms of which, and greatly against the wishes of the New Foundlanders, American fishermen were permitted to ply their vocation unmolested off the shores of that island, expired with the close of the flshintf season. It was the expectation of both the American and lirttish governments that before the opening of tiic next season, some permanent arrangement could Is- reached that would remove all future friction on this score. The New Foundlanders however, were in sistent upon their right to legislate lo cally for the fisheries so long as they did not in terms discriminate against Am. rleans, claiming that in so doing they were not inf ringing the treaty rights of the Americans. The British government has apparently been driv en finally to concede the soundness of this contention, or at least, it has been Ti'>Kntiating through Aiimas^uior on that basis. Indications* today are that it will be difficult to reach any kind of a perma nent settlement of the trouble and the whole effort of the negotiations is ap parently eoneentrated for the moment on the drafting of some form of mo dus vivendi to guard against the de velopment of friction on tin' lishing shores that might in the end have se rious results. Tints, for instance, it Is said, the insistence of the New Found landers upon their right to prevent their fishermen from signing on the Gloucester smacks that use purse seines off the coast of the island would probably prove fatal to the industry us fur as the Americans are concerned, because the expense of shipping largo crews in Massachusetts at high wages would be prohibitive. The New Foun Handers tire also in sisting upon tlie prohibition ot the purse seine entirely. It is also already forbidden to their own people, so they claim that there Is no discrimination involved in making the Americans abandon its use. But the latter assert that it is not possible profitably to operate fishing smacks with their ex pensive erews and cutfits without the purse seines and that as they have al ways enjoyed tie* right tit use them, the attempt to deprive them now by legislation of such right would be in violation of the privileges conveyed by treaty. The fact is that 111'* occasion is one that calls for much mutual concessions if there is to is* a new modus vivendi and the New Foundlondcrs are not anxious that there should be until they have some sutllciont assurance that they -an have a satisfactory perma nent arrangement. To that end they have suggested a reference of the whole subject of conflicting treaty and legislative rights to the permanent Hague tribunal. Mir own government is not averse to seme such proposition under proper limitations as to the scope of the ar bitration. which must bo carefully guarded lest it set a precedent which might have a dangerous inlluence up Ml Ml'- UAIII I a Ml III Mill It I II1K II.I tionai treaty and state rights In the United States as involved in the San Francisco-Japanese matter. Hut it is said at the state department that so far there has been nothing to indicate that the government of (treat ltrlti.in Itself is willing to accept the New Foundland suggestion as to arhitrution and it Is therefore giving most of its attention to the subject of the modus Vivendi.

Mass., July 17.—Edward Darling Thayer, one of the best known woolen manufacturers in New England, died this morning following an opera tion for appendicitis last week. We was 50 years old. He operated mills In Worcester and East Dedham and was a partner in the Crompton-Thayer Loom Company. He was also a direc tor of the Worcester Trust Company, and a trustee of the Worcester County Institution for Savings. A widow and one son survive.

THE SURVIVORS. (Continued from Page One.) vlvors saw such action on the part of one of their comrades led the authori ties to believe that the report was in correct. The board landed at the navy yard just before 3 o’clock and went at once to the naval hospital to take deposi tions. The board consists of Captain Shroeder of the Virginia. Captain Kim ball of the New Jersey, Lieut. Com mander Castleman anil will make a lo cal hotel headquarters until it returns to the Georgia tomorrow. Until then the Georgia will remain in the harbor. The board began its investigation Tues day aboard the battleship Georgia, care fully inspecting the turret in which the explosion occurred and tjking evidence of such officers and men as were familiar with the conditions about the turret at the time of the explosion and were wit nesses of the affair. At noon today the battleship Georgia steamed up from the practice grounds at Provincetown into the upper harbor and the hoard of inquiry transferred its investigation to the naval j hospital at Chelsea. Owing to tlie critical condition of the! injured men in the hospital, four of whom it is feared may not survive the night, the surgeons in charge of the hospital would permit the hoard of inquiry to ex amine but three of the Injured men. Capt. Schroeder was particularly anxious to get the evidence of Boatswain’s Mate Frank Sehlapp. but such were the injuries to Ills face and throat that it is impossible for him to give any testimony. When the board was informed that Samuel I,. Rosenberger, ordinary seaman of Philadelphia, was one of those who could be Interviewed, the board on con sulting its chart showing tlie position of the men in the Georgia's £-inch turret at the time of the explosion, expressed great satisfaction. The other two men who were interviewed hv tile board were Charles Ilansell, gunner's mate, of New York, and Charles L. Kich, ordinary sea man, of Frankfort. Ind.

A closer analysis of the figures under consideration develops the fact that the growth in importations of fruits and nuts has been confined to a few lines in which local production has not been sufficient to meet home consumption, such as bananas, figs and other preserved fruits, walnuts, cocoanuts, and almonds. Nearly all other articles show decreased importations during the period under review. Bananas have advanced from $2,666,666 in 1SS7 to ap proximately $12,000,000 in 1007; figs and preserved fruits, from $1,250,000 to nearly $4,000,000; cocoanuts, from $N 10,000 to $1,323,335; almonds, from loss than $000,000 to about $2,333,333; and all other nuts (chiefly walnuts), from a little less than $700,000 to practically $6,000,000. of which latter sum fully $3,000,000 represented the value of walnuts imported. On the other hand, importations of oranges have decreased from a little less tnan $2,500,000 in 1SS7 to $400,000 in 1007; raisins, from $2,250,000 to less than $400,000; and prunes, from practically $3,000,000 to less than $50,000; while lemons have remained practically stationary at $4,000,000 during the twenty-year period, the figures indicat ing in each case that the greatly en larged consumption since 1SS7 has been fully met by domestic production. The growth in exports of domestic fruits extends to nracticallv every class enumerated in the schedules of our foreign trade. In 1887 apples were the only item hose exports exceeded $1,000,000, the value of tills commodity t$i,1X2,87 2) contributing consider ably more than one-lialf of the an nual sales abroad. In the year just ended the items whose experts ex ceeded each $1,000,000 included dried apples,, apples green or ripe, pre served fruits, oranges, prunes and other fruits, included in which may be mentioned peaches and pears to the value of $000,000, raisins $coo,ooo, and miscellaneous fruits over $2,000,000. Meantime nuts have made their ap pearance in the list of exported ar ticles, and for the fiscal year 1907 their total was ab mt SlIiO.OOO, three-fourths of which was peanuts. Kxports of dried apples grew from $413,303 in 1887 to about $3,100,000 in 1907; apples, green or ripe, from $1,382,872 to $4,700, 000; preserved fruits, from $7.36,283 to $1,700,000; and all other fruits, not separately classified in 1887, trnm 8337, 447 in that year to $7,300,000 in 1907. The changed position of the United States in relation to its dependence upon foreign countries for fruits is clearly illustrated by a comparison of the imports and exports of certain representative commodities. Of or* .ing‘S the United States imported in 1887 practically $2,500,000 worth, while the exports, if any, were not of stifli t*i**nt illinortn ll.f* to UMrivint uon;i r-.i (n enumeration. In 1007 imports had de creased to $4(ki.im;o and exports in creased to $1.:!iin,iwn>. Prunes in 1SS7 were imported to the value of $2,999, MS. while exports were nil; in 1007 imports were less than 50,000, while exports had risen to $2,4oo,noo. Raisins in 1SX7 showed a net importation of practically S-'.Oon.ntm, while in 1!W'7 they showed a net exportation of over $500,000. Of foreign-grnwn fruits consumed in the United States, bananas supply Udiy one-third of the total. Of the year's importation of bananas, ag gregating nearly $12,000,000, Central America (ehiel.y Costa. Rica, Hon duras itnd Panama) supplied about $6,ti00,f)00. the British West Indies about oo.ooo. and Cuba, consider ably over $1,000/100. Italy is the almost exclusive source of supply for the lemons imported into the United States from year to year. Imported currants are chiefly of the Xante var iety, produced in 'Ireece. Twenty years aso the United States was importing over $2/ioo.nno worth of raisins an nually. chieflv from Spain, but the en tire importations in l‘.*>7 were less than $5on.ooo. in PVT Italy contributed nearly $2.,(ou,ooo worth of oranges to the markets of the United States, the British West Indies, Spain and Cuba together supplying an additional $r,nn,. ono worth; hut in the year just ended the entire imports were but $400,000, of which Italy supplied about one-third. °f imported lemons Italy is still the chief source of supply, having con tributed pra- tieuiiy nii ,.f the •Vl" worth imported, but showing no substantial gain over her figures of 1 HELP!

A great numln-r of automobiles have hern touring through the city in tile last week, many of them hound for Bangor ami heyoml. while some are on the way to the Moosehead lake region. The touring parties are interesting to the loeal merchants with whom they do considerable shopping as they none too often consi ler they are trading with the (dd-time “country merchants.” A party visited one of the local grocery stores recently and immediate ly presumed that they owned the whole place and that tlere were no others doing business there. When they forc ed themselves to the counters and de manded attention they were quietly Ignored until the regular customers wire waited upon. This is just about the sort of treat ment such people deserve. We may look a little liayscedy up here in Maine, and tlie tourists may have been read ing some of liolman Day's bright Maine stories, but it isn’t wise for our summer visitors to underestimate abili ty of the average Waterviile Yankee.

Well, Rather! At One Time 95 in Shade. Whew-w-w! Wasn’t It hot, though! It opened up foggy in the early morn ing Wednesday and before 8 o’clock the sun had come through the fog, and i gave the people a foretaste of what the day might he like. And it was all that the day promised —and just a little more. By 10 o’clock the thermometer said 85. About an hour later it got up to 90 and when it be gan to climb toward 95 the good people of the city who have to get out and hustle for a living, worried some. It went up to 91, then 92, then 93 and in several places in the city it got as liigli as 94. Up at the Maine Central station it must have been in the neigh borhood of 100. The employes about the place were feeling the heat more than at .any other time this year. In the af ternon a little breeze came up, but about all it amounted to was to blow in ali the hot air from Augusta, Clin ton, Fairfield and Oakland. That didn’t satisfy the people at all. It was simply hot. and just as hot as people wartted it. and that was certain ly hot enough. Everybody looked for a good shower in the afternoon, but it did not materialize. Many Years Many Changes. Frank Pooler of Brooklyn, N. Y., ac companied by Mrs. Pooler and daugh ter. have been in the city for the past week, the guests of Augustus Pooler on Bin li street. The Journal man called upon Mr. Pooler Wednesday afternoon, having learned that he had not been in Watervllle for a long |>eriod of years, and enjoyed a most interesting conver sation with him. Mr. Pooler is the son of Ephraim Pooler and was born 69 years ago in Watervllle in a house on Middle street, now destroyed. At the age of 14 years he ran away from home and went to Bangor. Here he engaged on board a small vessel and “went to sea." His sea voyages took him to the West Indies and to many other parts of the world. At the ape of 18 years he returned to Philadelphia iti time to engage on the receiving ship Princess and later on the Lancaster, man-o-war, for service in the Civil War. Early he took a trip around Cape Horn which consumed about one year, and on this trip re lieved the Merrimac, which was, some months later, used by the Confederates in the famous tight against the Moni tor. For a time he was engaged on the transport Gen. McClellan. He served the four years during the war and then returned to Brooklyn, N. Y., where he became an engineer and this occupation he has followed for 40 years, having been located in the Merck build ing. “When I went away from Water ville,'’ said Mr. Pooler, “I had nothing in the world except a shirt, poor pair of trousers, an old pair of shoes and a hat. I ran away from home because my people were too poor to keep mo. I have been back to Waterville three times in my life time, once in 1861, again in 1886 and this time. Every time I return I see great changes. You can scarcely imagine what changes there are in "0 years. Why the whole town looks dif ferently. I used to think the Kennebec largo now, hut just as Brand. “There are one or two things which strike me about the people and city here worth mentioning. The people, all classes of them, seem to be unusually intelligent. They are also well dressed, and the homes in which they live are neat and well furnished. And then the trees. Why I tried to plant one little tree near my home in Brooklyn and I couldn’t make the thing live. But what trees there are here! And the lawns, well kept, and lots of room. These things arc what make this city so beautiful. “My family?” asked Mr. Pooler. “Don’t ask me about the Pooler fam ilies. I have traveled all over the world and don't remember having found a family by the name of Pooler in all the time. But here in Waterville— why!” and Mr. Pooler’s inability to finish the sentence well be understood by consulting any city directory. There are Poolers from the north to the south end of the city. “I can't pick out my nearest kinsfolk. I have sisters here and brothers. They have all mar ried and reared big families. There are great-great-grandfathers and grand mothers and no end of grandchildren. And best of all to me, they are pretty industrious people. They don’t seem to retire v lien they get well along in years. One of my sisters and one of my brothers is nearly 70 years old, and tin y are actively at work.” “1 want to say,” said Mr. Pooler, as a final word, “that one will have to go a long wav to find a hotter little city than this. You ought to be proud of it. It is bound to grow and I hope it does.” lie echoes the sentiments of many people. Mr .Pooler will remain in the city for a week longer and will then return to Brooklyn.

Since his gradu ation from the University of Maine last June he has been in the employ of Nash A'iles. the Court street plumbers. He is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Goodrich of Pleasant street. The work of macadamizing that por tion of High street from its junction with Madison avenue to Court street is now well under way. A crew of eight men and two teams are employ ed under the direction of Street Com missioner G. H. AVebb. This piece of road, which Is some 500 feet in length, is being made in the same manner cs that in vogue for the past live years and which originated with Mr. Webb. It was first tried in 1n0‘> r.n Water street, ticlow the house then occupied hy Col. A. G. Blunt, and it proved that the theory of road building held by Mr. Webb was the correct one. The present Piece of mad is being constructed in this manner: First, the top of the old earth roadbed is removed. Then a de posit of what is termed No. 3 is used as a tiller, this being quite coarse crushed stone. On top of this is placed what is known as No. 1, a very line crushed stone, almost a dust. Then, on top of this, is placed sand, this Is wet down and rolled, sometimes by a steam roller which the town hires in Water ville. and the road is completed. When finished it is as smooth as a billiard table and at once the delight of the antoist, the motorcyclist and those who drive. The Nye Recital. In spite of the heat, the day being one of tlic warmest of the season, a large and delighted audience was present at tlio pianoforte recital held Wednesday even ing in Weston hal> which was given liy tlie pupils of Mrs. Dora Traflon Nye.

The audience, made up principally of the parents, relatives and friends of tho pupils, was well pleased with the work done, which showed the careful training of Mrs. Nye as well as faithful practice on their own part.

Roston Record. NEW SIGNALS To Warn Mariners ot the Proximity of Shoals. Electric Bells on Bottom of the Sea as Mediums To Convey Warnings to Vessels Approaching Danger Line. Washington, July 17.—A novel meth od has been perfected of advising ship captains of the approach of their ves sels to the danger zone, in connection with the use of the system of subma rine bell signals, in places where the warning bell cannot he placed.on a lightship or lighthouse. In such cases the electric bell is hung from a tripod set on the bottom of the sea on the edge of the shoal at the required point and this hell fs struck by a mechanism operated by a current of electricity conveyed through a cable from the sig nal station on shore. Such a station at Point Allerton, Mass., and another at crated through cables over two miles long. The bell strikes any code that is' desired and the sound travels through the water so that vessels from five to 10 miles away hear the bell and got di rections accurately in a fog or at night when equipped with the receiving ap paratus. The lighthouse board has completed arrangements to place these subma rine signals on all lightships not al ready equipped including the five ves sels nearing completion at the yards of the Xew York Shipbuilding Co., and the four which are to be built at the Fore Kiver yards at Quiney. Mass. The board also has aranged for elec tric shore stations at the Delaware har bor of refuge and at Detour. Mich., the entrance of St. Mary's river and Duke Superior. The Canadian government is installing the same bell at St. Johns. Louisburg and Yarmouth and when the work n.nv ordered by (lie two gov ernments is completed every import ant harbor in Xorth America will be protected l.y such signals. HOULTON’S CENTENNIAL.

Two of tlie host numbers on the pro pram s"Uieen a hemic thing. Jhit if the President wants heroism let him look to this brave man who stood by his gun to save the rest. “The cause.of the accident perhaps ran never be positively established. The board of inquiry is made up of experts and they are doing everything in their power to gather in every fact available. We are all very anxious to get enough to make out a reasonable theory. We want to get at it because we want to make every man In the navy feel that his work has been made safe for him In time of peace at least. “I do not see how spontaneous combus tion can lie entertained as a theory, for if it is, we are in danger of being blown to kingdom come every minute. We ear ly a good deal of powder and If these is danger of spontaneous combustion on hoard, a battleship is not a very safe place to be. No, I don’t believe that theory. “Now ns to a spark getting onto the cover of the bag and igniting it—r can demonstrate by bringing a bag of powder on the deck and putting a spark on it that it takes quite a time for such a spark to set the powder going. The facts arc these: That when the powder cases came up from the ammunition chamber it is removed from the copper casing, passed from hand to hand into the gun. It is done so quickly that the gun is closed in four seconds from the lime the powder arrives. In other words, the pow der is exposed to a spark in the turret less than four seconds. I.ut it may have been a spark. It may have becen one of several tldngs. Wo don’t know. We will find it out If wo can. The board lias taken tiie testimony of all the officers on the ship and has gone to the naval hospital now to talk with Hnnuoll nnrl snmn additional facts. “Since we went back to the shooting grounds the men have been shooting bet ter tlinn they were before the accident. Of course we can't do any more work with that turret because we have no men for it. The crew of that turret is dead or in the hospital. The men we have behaved finely. “No, we have not finished practice, and we are going back to the targets and make a record to break the record.” Among the men on the Georgia the spark theory is most generally believed, though part of the crew*.believe a cigar ette butt caused the trouble, in spite of the fact that there is supposed to he no smoking In the turret. But nearly all be lieve that the cause will never be known positively. The remarkable lieat-insulating effect of a vacuum is strikingly brought out in the claims made for a new sports man's bottle. The vessel has double walls, being really one bottle within another, with a sealed-up intervening space from which the air has been withdrawn. It i-s asserted that liquids ir. this bottle can be kept hot 4S hours in the coldest weather, and that iced beverages will retain their delicious coolness for weeks in the hottest sum mer.

I have heard people, accustomed to the untrammeled life, say that tills is nut “American.” The earliest Americans are savages. They still wear blankets in various parts of the reservations. They are Americans. In fact, what is it to be ‘■American?” It ought not to lie “American" to show irreverence for constituted authority, to cast all dignity out of lift*, to fail to observe rules which tend to the orderly management of life. If the angels were Americans in the sense so often implied in this sneer at due observances, they would endeavor to push the archangels out of their places. The spirit ttf I,uclfer, as interpreted by Milton, is an example of the kind of Americanism that would destroy all reverence ami ruin all the beauty of life that depends on orderly observ ance. It is noticeable, however, that tile honest but stiff-necked person who esteems it his right to go about In his shirt sleeves whenever he feels like it, to assert his “Americanism," soon ac quires the evening-coat habit in the capital, and begins to show those signs of civilization that had hitherto re mained dormant.

What an old homer he would have been if lie could have lived in New England in this age of reunions!—Biddeford Journal. For the sake of the pun—for which he should be forgiven—our Biddeford friend forgets that the seven cities did not claim Homer until long after he was too dead for it to make any differ ence to him. The simplified spellers were given a hard Jolt by the National Education Association at its Los Angeles meet ing.

The New Orleans Picayune brings us an account of the death of Ser g'*ant Smith Prentiss, a leading mem ber of the Eouisiana bar. a brilliant speaker, and a brave soldier of the IIICIIH IfS name amuses of his father who bore tie* same name, the Maine-born Sear gent Smith Prentiss who became one of the most prominent anil best be loved citizens of the far South, ami unquestionably one of the greatest orators America has ever produced. Soargent Smith Prentiss, the first of tile name, was born in Portland in ISOS, graduated from Powdoin in 1S2G 'and went at once to Mississippi where he became a school teacher. While teaching he studied law and instan taneous success followed his admission to the bar. His election to the Mis sissippi legislature and then to Con gress followed in quick order and be fore lie was 00 he was known through out the country as one of the most brilliant and effective public speakers of his time. By many of his con temporaries and also by many of those wlio have since studied his orations, lie lias been held to be the greatest orator our country has ever produced. He was alike successful in politics and at the bar and while yet "a relatively young -man with every prospect of many"years of success and usefulness before him, he died suddenly in 18.r>0 at his residence near Natchez. His son of the satne-' name who 'died in Now Orleans last week has spent his life in Eoui.-tana where lie has been a dis tinguished and respi ted citizen. Sev eral years ago his young son of the same name, a brilliant young follow who had just graduated at Tulane Uni versity and started witli great prom ise in the profession of law, wais car ried to a premature grave. Thus have passed away the grandfather, father and son bearing an illustrious name wldeh originated a century ago here in our own State and which was loved and admired by tile South as have been tile names of few of her native sons. Tile European king business has its occasional drawbacks, but there are ft. Sutton reaches this port from Hong Kong in a few days. lake many anol ti er blue water vessel she is to be con verted into a coal barge and so much more of the poetry of the sea will be lost. Dr. Edwin Orant Dexter of Chicago whom President Roosevelt has ap pointed commissioner of education pf Porto Ttieo, is the son of Rev. II. V. Dexter, D. D., a native and almost life long resident of Maine; pastor for K years at Calais and for six years at Augusta, and for two years at Ken nebunkport. “I believe, with many others, that there will be a general exodus from the Shiloh colony in the near future.” This statement by Miss Margaret Sul livan, who recently tied the colony and is now at her home in Manchester, X. II., lias caused a sensation at Dur ham. Without the personal inlluence of "Elijah” Sandford, leader of the Holy Ghost and Us Society at Shiloh, it is fcaxod many more will flee from the institution. Rev. Frank Sandford will not return from the Holy Rand for some months at least, and the escape of Miss Sullivan may encour age others. Hut the long absence of the "Elijah” has by no means been a cause of any financial loss to his colo nists. While he is abroad, living in luxury, and his followers are tilling the soil and becoming mariners and fishers of the sea, checks and cash con tinue to pi^ir in from friends and well wishers. Some converts have given their all, aTnounting in one recent in stance to $8.onn, while there was one gift of $15,000 and another of an equal ly large sum,recently. As a matter of fact, Shiloh is prospering as never be fore, notwithstanding its somewhat peculiar methods of farming. They rest two days a week—Saturday and Sun day. The first they spend in rest and meditation, the second in exhortation and prayer. While cultivating their 75 acres of potntrias they stop at any lime to pray, while, frequently their ploughs and cultivators stand idle in the field and the horses attached to them graze off potato vines, while the workers stand in the rows and read their Bibles. Notwithstanding, they are successful, as their bank account will show. The institution now owns hundreds of acres of land in Durham, the seat of the colony, and the plan is to make it self-supporting. Since many members are practical farmers and as each member of the church ..mi |ifrrcni;i^e earn weok fr>r (he support of the institution, the result is satisfactory to those who have been intrusted with the conduct of af fairs during the absence of the teal leader. At present there are about 700 people on the Shiloh hill nnd on these farms. This spring and summer many hundreds of pounds of grass seed and fertilizer have been purchased for use on the farms, and with 7f> acres of potatoes for fall digging everything is satisfactory save the prolonged stay in Palestine of the "Elijah.” A notable arrival at York Harbor is General Powell Clayton of Arkansas. General Clayton is one of the best known men in Republican politics in America, and his usefulness to his party covers an active career of a gieat many years. He was brigadier general throughout the Civil War. was 1 S. minister to Mexico for eight years, and is now a member of the Re publican national committee. He is owner of that famous hotel, The Cres cent, in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. 1 he general and his wife expect to spend the summer at the Harbor, where they will soon lie joined by tilt* daughter who is the wife of the Rrit ish minister to Cuba. It is rumored that a famous Maine boy. Sculptor Simmons, is to found a Museum of Art in Maine. Mr. Sim mons was born in Rath, spent his early life in Lewiston where he began his career as an artist, and continued his career in Portland. For SO years he has lived in Rome. He is now en route to Maine. Ilowdoin College as w* lt as Portland is anxious to have the Museum of Art which Mr. Sim mons is said to contemplate founding. Mr. Simmon’s studio in Rome will probably be the nucleus of this museum and this collection is of gnat interest and value. It contains casts of many famous statues and many portrait busts of generals and statesmen of the civil War. Rowdoin College Influence urges that as Row doin has the best art collection of any college or university in the United States, the Simmons contributions should more naturally go there. it is said that Rowdoin would eiect a mu seum building to house the Simmons collection as there would hardly be room for it in the well filled Walker Art buildtng.

Gleanings and Gossip. Richard Croker says that the only thing on earth that he is afraid of is whisky. He never drinks. One American editor now says that he is not going to wear a collar any more, as a collar is the emblem of servitude. The picture post card craze is on Ihe wane in Kngland, according to reports. There yre a few things to be thankful for. There are many peddlers of crabs’ claws now roaming about the Spanish cities. It is quite the fad there now to be seen nibbling one-of these claws. Things are looking had for the mule out in Missouri. The state now has a poultry board and the Missouri night ingale may no longer be the state bird.
