At 10.30 o'clock, in spite of ;ill efforts tli'‘ tire was still spreading to the east ward and seemed likely to lie stopped only v.Iii'ii it had exhausted the materi al i a which it could feed in that dirce- j lion. The fire was discovered about S n’clurl; in tile upper part of the »lym- pia hotel anne x, which was occupied mainly hy servants employed in the j Hotel Kmerson. It was supposed that an upset lamp was the origin of the blaze. Whin the Old Orchard liremen were called out they found the entire upper stories of the annex in flames and were unable to prevent the spread of the lin to the main portion of the hotel. Adjoining buildings containing stores located along the board walk beside the Hasten A Maine Railroad tracks semi caught lire and from these the Haines jumped the tracks and commu nicated with the Alberta hotel and sev eral other buildings near the shore. An area of about Tift acres along the bench was soon blazing. In this aria were located some of the most popu lar of the hotels, all of which were filled to overflowing with summer guests. Many valuable summer cottages were also located in this district and these, too, were swept by the lire. Most er the guests managed to save a considerable iptanlily of their person al effects from the blazing structur s, but nearly nil the furnishings of the hotels were destroyed. There was a rumor tjiut three chil dren hail met death in the Hotel Olym pia, hut this Could not lie continued and so far as is known a' this lmur no fatalities have resulted from the fire, though many narrow escapes were re ported. It is believed that Up- greater part of the loss i: cover, d hy insurance. Seaside 1‘ark, an amusement resort. Rumor-Three Men Killed. i’iildeforil. Me., Aug. 15.—Communication with Old Orchard has been rut off both hy telephone and telegraph as a result of the fire. It Is reported here that three men wero killed by dynamite used in blowing up buildings to stop the progress of the flames. One man is sniil to have had Ids head blown from Ills shoulders. The Boston Maine Railroad station was blown tin by dynamite to arrest the fire in that direction. The Hotel Seashore, across the street from Hotel Kmerson, lias been burned. I located near (lie Olympia lintel, was partly destroyed by the fire. Telegraph and b leplionc elreuits were inf-nui t.-il and the train service of the Feet n Maine, Western division, was greatly d- lnyed, the fire running along both sides of the track for a consider able distance. Tile flames, mounting high, present ed a beautiful spectacle to residents of other seaside resorts for scores of miles in both directions. From the Hotel Emerson the fire leaped across the Main avenue leading from tin railroad station to the shore, and attack' d the Hotel Seashore. This big structure, one of tlie oldest and best known of the gu«-st houses on the short: was soon enveloped in tlanics and was totally destroyed. A considerable gap of vacant land between this and other buildings to the west, however, served to cut off fur ther spread of the conflagration in that direction. The I lost on Maine Railroad station, which was situated across the railroad tracks from the Hotel Seashore, was blown up by dynamite afb r the bag gage and most of its furnishings had been removed. This action probably saved the Old Orchard house and other buildings on the edge of the camp ground plateau overlooking the beach. A sawmill and lumber yard belong ing to Chief of Police William F. Mcwer, and some coal sheds belonging to the firm of Porter Victor were burned during the early part of the blaze. The bowling alleys and restaurant owned by Thomas Cleave, Hogan’s drug store, MacDonald’s drug store and several other stoics located along the board walk near the railroad sta tion were also destroyed. The central office of the New Eng land Telegraph and Telephone Co., and the Postal and Western Union of fices were burned. Communication with outside points were cut off for a time, but late tonight the Postal established a temporary office in a cottage at a distance from the fire. Fire Under Control.

s, BRONZE TABLET Unveiled Thursday at Glou cester, Mass., Commemorating First Settle meet of Mass. Bay Colony. United States Senator Henry Cabo Lodge Orator of Day. Gloucester, Maps., -Aug'. lfi—Men prominent in national ort»l International affairs and many others "ho hav. achieved distinction in various ;pro fessional walks of life, were included in the thousands of people who congre gated in the quaint fishing port of Gloucectcr today for the unveiling a large bronze tablet commemoratin','; the first settlement of the Massachu setts Kay Colony at Stage Fort park. The tablet is set on the face of a great ledge overlooking Gloucester’s harbor, and was situated close to the site of the first settlement, which it commemorates. The dimensions of the plate give it a surface of 6.3 s tuare feet, and it is believed that it is nn" of the largest ever cast in the Ihuited States. As a framework, it has air or namental carving two feet deep in Hie solid granite with inscriptions depic ting the marine history of Gloucester. The tablet and frame inscriptions are the work of Erie Pape, the artist, a member of the Essex county summer colony. T'nited States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge was the orator of the day. His oration was of an historic nature, dwelling on the history of the first set tlers who landed on Gloucester s shores 2SG years ago. Ambassador James Kryee was present as a repre sentative of England the mother coun try, from which the colonists saK'ed. The chief promoter of the memorial and the one who has interested himseh' the most in the project has been John Hays Hammond, the South African engineer, who like many others present today is a member of the Essex county summer colony. The Russian, Italian, Kelgian and Siamese embassies also were represented, in many cases by the ministers themselves who have their summer homes here. The exercises, which took place in front of the great ledge, included, be sides the oration by Senator Lodge, addresses by Lieut. Gov. Draper and Ambassador Bryce and the recitation of original poems by the authors, Mrs. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward of Newton and Madison J. Carwein of Lexington, Ky. The daughter of Mr. Hammond was selected by the commit tee of which he was the head, to per form tlie duty of unveiling the impos ing memorial. Besides the dedication and unveiling exercises, tlie city held many celebra tions during the day. A national sa 1 ,.te was fired and the bells of all the churches in the city were rung sis an opening feature. John Hays Hammond marshalled a grand civic, military and trades parade which marched through Gloucester’s narrow crooked streets. In the evening nn electrical and fire works display was given. Four companies of the 8th Regiment of the State Militia led the parade. At Its conclusion the invited guests assembled at City hall where they were welcomed by tlie mayor. Brief address es were made by Lieut. Gov. Draper. Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador and Postmaster General Meyer. The cotppany after partaking of a luncheon marched to the ledge at Stage Fort park, at Fresh Water cove, for tile exercises at the tablet. Rev. William H. Ryder presided at the tablet exercise., and after Miss Natalie Hammond, the daughter of John Hays Hammond, had unveiled the bronze plate, Mr. Ryder introduced Senator Lodge, who spoke as follows: “It was here in 1602 that Bartholo mew Gosnnid is believed to have made land when he first emerged from the wastes of ocean. From this time on ward. it may be supposed that ves sels or seafarers of various sorts be gan to appear off the coast until in 1614 Captain John Smith, explorer, discov erer and hero of the first settlement at Jamestown, christened this region by the name of New England, and also bestowed names upon the bays and headlands in this vicinity. When he made his map of the New England coast he gave to our cape here the fantastic name of Tragabigzenda and called these islands near the head of the rape the Turks Heads. It was lat er christened in honor of Queen Anne of Denmark by Prince Charles of Eng land. her son. “The actual beginning of the settle ment at Cape Ann was made in 1663, when a crew of 14 men from a fishing vessel landed at Cape Ann where they stayed through tlie winter. During the same year members of the Plymouth Colony secured a title to Cape Ann and started out to effect a settlement. They chose Roger Conant as their first governor. In 1626 Conant took his peo ple to the spot where Salem now Is. and where there was larger opportuni ty for agriculture. “It is too often overlooked that Co nnnt and the great Puritan settlement and migration found a small body of Englishmen already established at Salem. Conant and his men did not makt a permament settlement at Cape Ann, tut further down the hay they iw'gnn the settlement which grew into the colony of Massachusetts.” The other speakers “at the tablet wore former Mayor W. W. French, Baron Rosen and several prominent icsidents. The poems of Mrs. Ward and Mr. L awein closed the exercises.

It was stated that the animals had been taken from a nest when very young, and put in charge of a cat, which acted as foster mother, and successfully reared them.

A reader of the Journal, residing in Randolph, sends the paper the follow ing suggestions regarding the special meeting to be held by the voters of that town August 21. The special town meeting which is called in Randolph August 21. at 4 P. M. is a most important meeting to the property owners of the town. The two questions to be considered are first, the purchase of a new and expensive lot for a new schoolhouse, when the town already owns a lot amply large to allow the building of an addition to the schoolhouse which they now own. and which affords plenty of room for a good playground if thf town will put it in proper order. This is away from the railroad track, away from the river, and the noises of passing ve hicles. if any one will read the last town report they will see balance in treasury, $.".060.12. The contracts for the new school which were given af ter the petition signed by twelve vot ers to call a meeting to rescind the vote to buv or build was handed in, calls for $1,773, leaving a balance of $2*7.12 in treasury to buy th« lot. The pric» i f th“ ]nt sr-leeted if l”ft to the commissioners is very uneeitain. as I they have the right to award dam- j 4 t ages for all the surrounding lots and also to change the location of the lot. The second question before the peo ple is in regard to better fire service. The last fire has been too serious a warning to ignore. The town has not hydants enough nor hose enough to reach some of the most valuable prop erty in town. It is unreasonable to ex pect the best serlvce from a company whose members are only paid $10 a year. We are paying the same tax rate as Gardiner and should have the same protection. There seems to be an unreasonable dread in the minds of many of the porperty owners that if they take any part In town affairs or express any opinion contrary to the voice of a few in power that their taxes can be raised as a punishment. Now is the time to do away with tiny fear of that sort. "Taxes are assessed according to the fair valuation of the property on which the assessment is made. If any at tempt is made to violate this rule, either as an arbitrary exercise of au thority or to punish an independent voter, the law affords an ample pro tection to tlie property owner by the right of appeal to an impartial tribu nal.” If the resources of the town should be diminished by the loss of either of tlie two large sources of income which we now have where shall we get money to pay even the necessary expenses of the town except by keeping up the taxes in the future? Under these circumstances is it wise to lay any extra burden upon the taxpayers, by the purchase of more land? lletween the high rate of taxes now—or the higher rate of insurance 'necessitated by want of better protection against fire, there is not much inducement to newcomers. Are not second thoughts I sometimes best? BASEBALL NEXT MONDAY. Clerks of Waterville and Gardiner Will Cross Bats Here. Tlie Waterville and Gardiner clerks will fight out t heir third game of bn reball on CJulinby field next Monday. Tiiis will probably be tlie hottest contested and best played game seen here this year, as each team lias won a game and tills will be tlie third and final game between the two this year.

Lnmhard, the subject of this sketch, was born in Springfield, Maine, in 1S56. He received his cany education in the schools of that town, and in 1885 removed to Lincoln, lit-., where he went into the lumber busi ness. He built a saw mill there and for a period of 10 years manufacture 1 long and short lumber. In 1805 ho cu. cided to locate elsewhere in the state and made a trip to Ba.cgor, thinking at first he would settle in that city; from that city he came on to Pittsfield, and then decided to go through to Port land. He stopped at Waterville on toe way to Portland end was so impressed with the city, and its surroundings that he immediately decided that Waterville should henceforth be his home, lie moved here in the year of 1805, and af ter a residence of one year on Main street, he had built and moved into his comfortable home on upper College avenue, where he has since resided. Mr. Lombard has been throughout life an active and progressive man, con stantly bringing to light some valuable invention as the result of indefatigable work, and thus aiding greatly the de velopment of many lines of business activity, iiis inventions have brought him lucrative returns. He has recently purchased a largo lot of land on the old Noyes property, and on the corivr of Kim an 1 Tt mple streets he will, before long, build as fine a residence as can be found in the city. Mr. Lom bard is a firm b- hover in the lh pub lican party and is active in party coun cils. Associated in business with Mr. Lombard is his brother, S. \Y. Lom bard, who is superintendent of the ma chine shop situated on College avenue. He has assisted in tile work of invent ing the various machines which bear tlte hame of the brothers, and is a me chanic of great skill and ingenuity. The Journal man had been spotting Mr. Lombard for.several days for an interview, and it was not until Monday evening that he caught him at his home after a return from an auto mobile trip. "Well," said Mr. Lombard, eyeing the pencil of the Journal representa tive, ‘T guess you might as well lire away. Tin tv's no escape." "My inventions?" he inquired, in answer to a genera! question. "Well, first of them all came the invention of the Lombard yater wheel governor in lSy3. Tltis is; a device for the regul ating of power derived from water wheels. The first machine I invented was installed in the Hollingsworth cfc Whitney Co., and has been there for years! They are now used in every pert of the world, and have of course proven of great value. This appliance I sold to the Ka.-tern Klectric Cable i Company of Boston, Mass., some five years ago and they are now being 1 manufactured in great quantities. "Next fit me lilt- Lombard pulp mill barker attachment. The purpose rtf this machine *is to'rcinov- the baric from Hie gry year.

Meanwhile, we arc- trying to supply the demand in the Eastern states from our factory here in tin city. “Is true, Mr. Lombard, that you built- the lirst automobile ever used in Maine?" asked the Journal representa tive. “Th first automobile ever built in Maine was constructed in the Webber A- Philbriok foundry i:i Watorville. and I e,u--ss you are lookimr at its build -r. Incident; lly, you might be interest -.1 to know that 1 built tho first machine vor manufactured in Massachusetts. That v.*as IT c-an- ago.

Afte r it was invent, d. a man in our employ tool; it out one Sunday for a spin about the city, it created great excitement and it was more fun than a case of monkeys to watch the people. The Boston police tric'd to stop the machine, but it was no use. “A few years later I built one here in Mair.e at the foundry in Wat r illve, anil later, with Mrs. Lombard, made a trip through Aroostook coun ty. It was the first time tile people up that way had seen such a machine, and it was great sport in making the trip. I had .several good points to ray lirst auto and Stanley, the manufac turer of the Stanley automobile, litis used them in the manufacture of his ears. “While there is much work to in venting." concluded Mr. Lombard, “still there is much satisfaction in it. Tp in vent something that is valuable, that will save time and money, is an ac complishment that cannot be otherwise than gratifying, to say the least.” THE FIRST AUTOMOBILE EVER MADE OR USED IN MAINE. Considerable excitement reigned on the common Thursday afternoon when a team loaded with barrels ran nwav.

TO SHOW UP GAME. O'Brien Dramatizes Fake Fight—Poses Himself as the Hero. Philadelphia Jack O’Brien has dra matized his fake prize fight in Los An geles, and will rut it on the stage in September with himself as the star. He wrote the play himself and calls it "The Double Cross." He Is the hero lr> a very thin disguise, and Tommy Burns Is the villain. The scene Is laid in Los Angeles, and nil the events of the play are woven around the fake during Shriller week, where Tommy Burns at first agreed to fight a fake and then renigged after they were in the ring. In a letter to a San Francisco friend. O'Brien says that the play will show all the schemes whereby the public is fooled and swindled by prize fighters. Although he says he is after vindica tion, Jack also Is after cash. He has lost lots of money during the last year. Jack dropped a big sum in Nevada at the time he went out to arrange a fake at Rhyolite. He put 85000 into a San Francisco hotel, intending to run a hnr underneath. After his fake fight, the bar scheme was ruined, his repre sentatives had to withdraw from the company, ami Jack lost his money. The hotel is on the point of bankruptcy. O'Brien says he has hired a Phila delphia theater and will put the play on in September. AFTER BRITISH LAURELS. 8wimm«r Daniels Seeking New Honors in England. Now York, Aug. 15.—C. M. Daniels of the New York Athletie Club, American champion swimmer, is on his way to England for a campaign against the leading Itritish swimmers. The young New York swimmer is undertaking a tremendous task this year, for he has reconsidered his decision to confine his k efforts to the sprints and will under take to prove that he is as good at the distances as he Is at the hundred. Not only will he take part in the half-mile championship of the Thames, In London, Aug. 20, but he has given to William Henry of the Amateur Swimming Association of England, the power to arrange n quarter-mile match between him and Henry Taylor, many times champion, and reputed to he the best man in Europe at the distance. AUTOI8TS ARE EASY. Giv# Up Good Money to Long Island Youngsters For Fake Tips. Eastport, L. I., Aug. 15.—The hoys living in the village along the road be tween this point and Moutauk have Jut on an ingenious plan by which to ex tract many dollars from unsuspecting autoinobilists. Approaching a promis ing-looking car, they hail the owner and Inform him that there is a con stable watching for speeders at the next turn. The auto owner is natural ly grateful to his informant, and in variably pays him well for the sup posed favor. In some of the villages the boys are said to have realized a considerable sum from this deception. The dlscov ery of the game, however, by one of the victims and his communication of the facts to other autoinobilists is likely to bring this source of easy profits to an end. McConnell for boston.

Addreaa all communicatione relating to subscriptions and advertisements to BURLEIGH FLYNT, Publishers, Augusta, Maine. Friday, August 16, 1907. These are busy times for the tele phone companies. This is the banner season of the year for the rubber collar. The cities of Morocco are securing “modern improvements’’ In record time. The laurel of the prophet now decorates the manly brow of Thomas W. Lawson. The country should cheer up. There is still enough men left at the telegraph keys to handle the baseball scores. Even If the telegraph strike should isolate Chieago the rest of the world would probably manage to wag along without her. The Jamestown Exposition is at hast reasonably certain to live in history as a monument of managerial incompetency. The contest in Morocco shows that however much fanaticism may inspire its ncn with courage it stands little chance against modern machine guns. Aguinaldo is reported to have re ceived one vote out of the 89,137 thrown at the recent Philippine election. There is a suspicion that he cast it himself. Now that the eccentric Rube Waddell has returned from his fishing trips and settled down to business, the Philadelphia athletics are once more leading the American league. Chicago claims to have the richest policeman in the world. He must in deed lie a Croesus if he can excel some of the New York policemen in this respect. England's next battle-ship will, it is reported, be 50 per cent, larger than the mammoth Dreadnought. If this kind of expansion continues it will in time require the ocean itself to float a modern fleet. Prince Y1 of Korea having been con demned to death in his own country has decided to tarry awhile In America. Undoubtedly his digestion will be bet ter on this side of the ocean. A good many motor boat men and owners of automobiles have times when they rould use the idle electricity of the telegraph system to excellent advantage and with much relief to I heir feelings. The Hon. 15111 Joel Stone of Missouri is reported to be strenuously cham pioning the cause of the unfortunate Koreans. There would appear to be plenty of opportunity out there for lighting men of his weight. It Is safe to say that the sea-ser pent will not put in an appearance during the telegraph strike. He al ways makes his appearance when the conditions are favorable for the larg est amount of advertising. It Is hoped that the government will have those beautiful new gold coins ready for the Christmas trade.—Phila dclhpia Inquirer. Still, In these days of Republican rule, paper money of the same de nominations will buy just as much. Professor Frederick Starr of the Uni versity of Chicago believes that Japan could whip the United States. There are apparently no lengths to which the members of the faculty of that insti tution are not willing to go in their wild and indecorous scramble for notoriety. Penn Matthews of the University of Chicago asserts that ministers are be ing gagged by their wealthy pew own ers. This, however, does not apply to the good Dr. Ciladdon who stands ready at any time to close single handed with the octopus. A Missouri woman recently saved ft train from being wrecked by flagging it and the passengers kindly passed resolutions asking the management of the road to reward her. No doubt this generosity on their part was duly appreciated by the brave woman. Governor Glenn of North Carolina has declined to be the lion at the forthcoming celebration at the New York Democratic Club, but we have positive assurance that he will be one of the guests of honor at the forth coming Central Maine Fair at Watcr vllle. “Theoretically, dog days ended lasl Sunday." remarks the Boston Globe We do not know by what theory the Globe man reaches that conclusion Down here In Maine w*e have sworr by the Farmers' Almanac for 89 year? and according to that excellent author ity dog days are still with us untl September 5. I Education and Success. At tiiis season of the year when lots of boys who graduated in June from the High schools and academies are deliberating whether they shall enter college next month, there may be food for thought for them in an analysis of the biographies of 10,700 living Ameri cans most notable in all departments of useful and reputable endeavor, as found in "Who’s Who in America.” The analysis shows that 24 were self taught, 27S home-taught. 1,066 common school trained, 1,627 High school trained, 7,709 college trained and 6.129 were college graduates. Comparing with the population over 30 years of age, it appears that 1,757,023 unedu cated people produced no notables; 12. 051,335 taught at home or in the com mon schools produced but 1,36S, or one for ever 8,812 persons; 657,432 normal or High school trained persons pro duced 1,627, or one for every 401; 325. 613 college trained produced 7,709, or one for every 42. That Is, a high school graduate has 22 times the chance of the common school graduate, while the college trained has 10 times the chance of the High school graduate, or more than 200 times the chance of the common school graduate. I!ut no figures are required to demonstrate the ad vantages of a college education—not necessarily from the great universities, but from some good college able to equip the student for the practical de tails of the life struggle. We have never yet met or heard of a college graduate who regretted that he went to college, hut the world is full of men who regret that they did not go to college when they might have done so. The Americanized Young Filipinos. Four years ago 100 or more young Filipinos, representing the best class of the natives of the island, all of them bright and intelligent veung men, came ty this country to attend various colleges and universities. Most of them have completed their courses with credit and the other day :10 of khern, having received their degrees and diplomas, departed in a body from San Francisco to Manila. Some of the others have already gone in dividually but the majority of them will remain in .this country which they have learned t# like better than their native land. The 30 wno sailed for home were in terviewed before their departure anil their uppermost thoughts seem to be of devoting tlieir lives to the better ment of the condition of their fellow people in the Philippines. There is every reason to believe that they will be a power for good among the Fili pinos and It Is only to be regretted that their number is not 300 or 3,000 in stead of only 30, but even 30 American oilucate,' Dad. who never will Get the dishes done.

A young woman with a small dog in her arms began worrying the conductor about telling her when they got to Forty-second street, ail the Way itown from Seventy-second street, says the ”K\citing Cost” of New York. “Is this-?” “Fifty-ninth street," called the conduc tor. At Fiftieth street site stumbled forward to escape with the foremost, but the man laid a gently detaining hand upon her arm: "Not yet, madam. I told you that I would tell you when we get there.” Again site leaned forward to ask eager ly—"How soon shall we get there?” Tito conductor looked at Iter with that tired lool; that may be found on the faces of railway porters, at the ticket ntlices. ami on clerks at a woman's hotel. ■T will tell you, madam, when we get there.” he repeated wearily. At last looking pointedly at her. he shouted: "Forty-second street—Forty second street." The woman clutched the dog and moved to the nearest window. “Olt. Fido," she said, tearfullv, holding her pet up to it, "Look. Fido! That is Fort y-second street, where you were, horn.” Sympathy. Pome years ago. writes one cot respon dent. my little daughter, aged five, was out walking in a country lane with her nurse. She saw. hobbling painfully to wards her, a barefooted, bent old woman, clothed in rags and dirt. On her hack was siting a heavy bundle of sticks which she had evidently been collecting. My little daughter stopped short on seeing this picture of misery, evidently struck with pity. Then, with both arms outstretched, she ran towards her, her curls dancing in the wind and her eves aglow with tenderness, erving: “Oh, you poor dear old lady. I do wish you was denil. You would he so much happier'” Tableau.—London Mail. PERSONAL NOTES. A ponliRr.il brief has been received at the apostolic delegation in Washington, appointing F:ev. I). F.

The Many Summer Visit ors at the Capitol. Rifle Team Named for National Match In Ohio. Dr. Elliot on Retired List of Guard With Rank of Captain. STATE HOUSE CALENDAR. Next Meeting of Governor and Coun cil, Tuesday, Sept. 10, at 10 A. M. This is lh“ busy season for visitors at tile State House and every day finds dozens and scores of strangers, most of them from out of the State, inspecting Maine’s beautiful Captol. There is no place in the city, unless it be at the wharf and railroad slaiion, where one gets such a good idea of the great number of summer visitors in Augusta as at the State House. This is a point of interest visited not only by ah of them who stop in the city for any length of time, but many who are at the resorts in this section of Maine make a special trip to Augusta for the sake of looking over the- Capitol. A lady and her daughter who were among Thursday's visitors said that they had come from Portland express ly for the purpose of looking ever the building. Their home is in a Western state, and being in Portland harbor for a few weeks they had extended their tiip to this city for the sake of seeing the beautiful and historic- Capi tol of which Maine is jtistly proud and whose fame lias spread, it appears, to all parts of the country. During the summer there are thou sands of these visitors, sometimes corn ing singly, sometimes a few at a time, and frejiuently in large parties. Not a day passes now but there are scores of them in the building and upon the beautiful grounds around it. Of course they spend a large part of their time in the grout rotunda looking at the ’.urge collection of portraits of Maine’s famous sons and standing be fore the cases containing the ta titered and blood-stained Maine battle-llags. Many of them, especially the younger visitors, climb to the cupola and are rewarded by the magnificent view up and down the Kennebec valley, which, in addition to the city itself, is spread out before them. Many of the visitors wander into the various dep irtments where they are always received with courtly. I'hey are always made welcome to the build ing and the attendants gladly show 11i»-m the Hall of the House, the Sen ate chamber, the executive depart ments and all places of interest. A great part of the visitors inspect witli special interest ttie fish and game mu seum in the basement. At this de partment there is a register and from its pages a good idea of the number and character of the visitors may be obtained. Of course, not all the visitors go to this departin' nt and not all who go there sign the register, but nevertheless no fewer than -.0 per sons, nearly all from out of the State, have signed the register since the lirst of August, a period of only two weeks. A glare*, over the pages of tltis regis ter shows from what .widely distant parts of the Union the'- visitors come. Among those who have registered dur ing the past week or two tire not only persons from all six of the New Kng land states, hut also visitors represent ing New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl vania, District of Columbia, Ohio, Illinois.

Augustin Ruldnc appeared be fore the Augusta municipal court yesterday morning, charged with assault with in tent to kill upon Edmund Cormier. The hearing was the outcome of the fracas fin I,auri! hill. Wednesday afternoon at 12.30. The court fixed the amount of the bonds for appearance before the grand jury in September at $1000, with two good sureties, anil the respondent went to jail as ho was unable to se cure bondsmen. The taking of the testimony was ac companied by many difficulties, and three different interpreters were em ployed, for various reasons before tlie trial was concluded. J. N. Bisson, jani tor at the City building and special po lice officer, who was on his way home to dinner at the time of the trouble, and who separated the two men once, and. after Buldoe had chased Cormier, held the hand in which was the knife, to prevent Buldoe doing further damage, made a good witness. His story was a straightforward story of the trouble from the time when he noticed it. Edward Cormier, the complainant, testified that he is 20 years of age. He narrated in detail the State's side of the ease, admitting that he had carried a baseball hat into the street for self protection against an expected assault from Buldoe, tlie witness alleging that Unblock had drawn a knife twice while in the sited adjoining the kitchen where the trouble started. T»r. Gertrgc E. Washburn testified as to the condition of Cormier. The wit ness had a found a wound an inch and a it Arsenault testified that Augus iin Buldoe and a truckman named B ill'll Turner had come into lus shop am' .i.-ked for Ihjuor. He told them th.it lie had none. Turner, the witness ";,K pretty drunk, while Buldoe ■!»d been drinking. l„,t the witness would not say that he was intoxicated. Attorney William G. Fisher, counsel for Buldoe, on cross-examination, ask od: Was it because Turner was drunk that J au wouldn t sell them any liquor?” I refused him because I didn't have any.” Officer Albert Ferran testified as to ‘the search for and the arrest of Buldoc, and identified the knife which was in evidence as one which he had taken away from Buldoc in the police sta tion. Isaac Keen'of f> Morton place was the first witness called by the defence. He said that as the men came out of the Cornier shed, Edmund Cormier ap peared to be the aggressor, and after Buldoc had gone across the road and was leaning against the fence, Cormier came out swinging a bat in a threat ening manner. The alleged stabbing did not take place within the range of vision of the witness, they having turn ed the corner of the house. Witness did not leave the swing in which he was sitting. Levi Clukey had been summoned for the defence, and was present at the opening of court, but had slipped out during the trial, coun sel not insisting upon his testimony. Mr. Fisher made a short argument, claiming that the testimony show'ed that Cormier was the aggressor and that Buldoc had a right to defend him self. The court after reviewing the case briefly, fixed the amount of the bonds, at $1000, and court was adjourned. AMUSEMENTS. Moving Pistures.

Partridge, and they cured him of severe backache and other ailments arising from imperfect action of his kidneys. His rest had been muen broken at night because of the trouble. We know of a number of others here in Augusta who have U3ed Doan s Kidney Pills and in each and every case the results have been satisfactory. I have on numerous occasions heard people praise Doan’s Kidney Pills and during the several years since we first learned their merits our faith has constantly increased regarding their value and effectiveness.” For Sale by all Dealers.

The reward for his arrest and deten tion is $00. There was a fire Wednesday after noon that was not reported in the papers and probably will not be re ported in the report which the chief of the tire department will make to the city government at the close of the municipal year. It was a “still alarm” to which Dick Williams responded with the readiness of the born fireman. It seems that John Day, captain of the Hook and Ladder Co., was driving by on his jigger, utterly unconscious that he was the center r>f a conflagration. There are various theories as to how it all happened, but all guessing aside, John had been smoking. He knocked tlie ashes out of his pipe, put the pipe in his cost pocket, and then deposited the coat on the seat of the jigger and sat on it. Whatever rise of tempera ture there was. he doubtless attributed to the hot weather, and accordingly he was ail unconscious of his predicament when the watchful eyes of Williams caught sight of the smoke which was curling up beneath Capt. Day. ‘‘Eire! Williams jumped for an extinguisher, tipped it bottom upward and the as tonished Capt. John found himself the center of a well directed spray of sulphuric acid and soda water. He was very thankful a moment later when he surveyed the holes which had been burned in his wearing apparel, and he vows that Dick Williams is the hero of the Augusta fire department. LOCAL NOTICES.

Interesting Facts About a Thriving “Industry” Told the Journal hy One Who Has Made Study of It. Over Ten Millions Lost by Check Raising Crimes of 1906. Many business men of Augusta as well us of larger cities are aware, that more or less money is stollen by check raising, but few realize what propor tions this comparatively new “in dustry” has attained. The Journal has recently interviewed one of the men who have made a study of the matter and from him is now able to present to the public a few facts that are to say the least rather startling. This gentle man is P. Cutler of Boston who is enjoying a week's outing at Applewood Tavern. It has always been known that the maker of a check was obliged to use due care in so writing his check that It would not be easy to alter it, but until the general use of chemical erasers the alteration of cheeks was a rather rare phase of crime. Some 25 years ago tlie introduction of chemical erasing lluids put into the hands of evil dis posed persons a means of swindling that was quickly availed of and since that time the raising of checks has become a profession. In speaking of great criminals in this line, Mr. Cutler told the story of Alonzo Whiteman, one of those who have become noted in this business and whose career is excep tionally remarkable. Beginning about seventeen years ago Whitman has stolen by means of raised checks considerably over one million dollars. lie has been arrested 43 times, indicted 27 times and convicted 11 times with penalties totalling 51 years in the penitentiary, and during all tliis tinTe lie has served a period of but one year. Olio of his steals was a draft bought of the National Hudson Kiver Bank on tile Mechanics National or New York for $51 which was cashed for $9000. A famous case was the cashing for $22,000 of a check originally made out for $12. This was done on the Pacific coast by "Dutch Decker” who was a noted swindle/. The fact that the reported losses l>y check raising amounted to something like $10,000,000 in the year 1906 with tlie further fact that the very much larger proportion of such losses never got into the public prints (being settled out of court) suggests that means should be taken to prevent this kind ot tiling and such a demand has of course been quickly responded to. The first practical device was a machine which cut out the figures and for quite a long time this device was very effective and limited the operations of the thieves to unprotected checks. Later it was found out by some blight genius that the preforations could be filled in with pieces of paper cemented in place and many checks were so altered. Then came the idea of printing a limiting line witli indelible ink on lie f.-i the check. This was found qmt factory till the ever active crook discovered that tfte inV. rt: i removed by the aid of an oidi a.y rubber eraser an,I a new am nit printed with a machine of t. .o class. At present Mr. Cutler says that the best known device which so far lias remained imprcgnible consists in a machine which not only prints the amount in indelible ink but also cuts the paper so that any attempt to rub out the lettering will at once destroy the paper. It is said that the operations of the high class crooks have become so important that the Bankers Associa tion now lias some of the leading men under pension with the condition that they are to report their place of sojourn once in so often and are to refrain from their special line of work. This is denied, as of course it would be, but there is some reason for believing it may be true. '<no oi me curious teaiurcs oj inis class of swindlers is the schemes mploycd to oijtaiu possession of checks for their operations. Naturally most business men are rather particular about giving checks to strangers and !t might be suppose 1 that to get hold of a check at all would be a matter of difficulty. Not at all. The methods are various hut the difficulty is much less than might he supposed. One man (who Is now serving a long term) used to make a specialty of working wholesale dealers in this way. He would come in dressed as a well-to-do country merchant and get prices and talk about a new store he Intends to start in some nearby small place. He would go away without buying and later would write on a regular country letterhead a nice letter ordering say $125 worth of goods. He would explain that he had been delayed in getting ready and was in a hurry for the goods. With the letter would be a good bank draft for some $25 more than the goods would come to, and a request to send him a check for the balance. This rarely failed to bring him the check which of course was promptly cashed for several hundred or thousands of dollars and then he left for new fields of effort. Stealing the letters from letter boxes has been for some time a fruitful source of supply to the check raiser and it is still a mystery how the keys are obtained. The fact that every little while a man is caught with a key in his possession which will open the boxes of the city he is working In is well known. Sometimes two or more will tt-ork together in “working” a couple of banks. This was the case recently in Massachusetts where two men started two bank accounts. One was in New Bedford and the other in Fall River. They exchanged checks and appeared to be buying and selling until the hanks had become accustomed to their transactions when one of them got the New Bedford bank to certify a cheek for $S.76. This was then raised to $876 and cashed when the two disap geared, __ AUGUSTA BANKING INSTITUTIONS 5 1-2% AUGUSTA LOAN AND BUILDING ASSOCIATION ALDEN BUILDING, AUGUSTA, ME. 56th SERIES CLOSES AUGUST 31st There remains One Hundred Shares for Sale in this Series, upon which Interest at the rate of Five and One-Half Percent will be paid, August 31st of this year.
