Miss Estella Sands of Dexter is visiting' In town, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. George Sherman. Misses I.innle and Bertha Lampher are In Frilly for a \vr start and that after passing South Gardiner he was far in the lead over the Skiddoo. He stated that he open ed up the valves of the cylinders and that the exhaust was being made di rectly into the boat. The day was heavy and he was sittiug in the bot tom of the boat he inhaled the whole of it. He stated that when he arrived at Richmond he was runnii g on two thirds speed and that the boats were about even. He was so sick after pas sing Richmond that it was found nec essary to return. Mr. Glidden is confident that he has the faster boat hnd he desires a short race with Mr. Goodwin on Labor day. Either to Augusta .and return or to South Gardiner, down around Na h urn ken g Island, and return. Mr. Goodwin does not consider his boat beaten and the race Labor day will undoulitedly take place, when It is hoped that the matter may be defi nitely settled to the satisfaction Of ail as to which has the faster craft. The “Skiddoo,” owned by Goodwin, Is 23 feet long and is driven by a 12-horse power, 3 cylinder Atlantic engine. The "Frances G.,” owned by Glidden Is 24 feet long and Is driven by a 14-horse power Cushman two cylinder engine. It is believed that Goodwip’P boat >s the heavier of the two, and the fart that it has two less horse power than the other boat handicaps it somewhat. The two boats, however, are very evenly matched and barring all break downs and rough water, would make as pretty a race as could lie deeirel. WHO THREW THE BRICK? A Question Local Police Would Like to Have Answered. Early this morning, the night-wnteh while going their rounds discovered a large hole in the plate glass window of the store of Cross Robinson. The place was boarded up so that nothing could be taken out ;ind the city mar shal notified. It is not known who the perpretra tor of the deed is but it is known that the act was committed about 3 o’clock as the night operator in the telegraph olliee heard the crash. An examiation of the window showed a large brick resting on a glass shelf In the show window and a rock about the size of a man's fist in the bottom of the window. It was also discovered that the only article in the window missing was a Colt’s automatic revol ver. The only clew the authorities have is the fact that two men were In the store during thi* day trying to pur chase the missing gun. Nothing elso in the window was disturbed.

Irish-American Repeat Their Perfor mance ofv Former Years. New York. Auk.' 21.-The annual track anil field championships of the A. A. 1'. took place Saturday under the auspices of the New York Athletic Club at Tra vers Island. Wrethed weather prevailed, but this was completely lost sisht of in the all-absorbinK scramble for the point j honors between the New York Athletic Club and the Irish-American Athletic Club. For the past few years the Irish club succeeded in carrying off tlio palm of this meet, and it repeated the trick again Sat urday by a score of S7 points to 4S for the winged foot. It was simply a dual meet, for no other club made a point. Harry L. Hillman maintained his su premacy in the low hurdles, and from the way he flew over the timbers lie could give away a start and a beating to bis op ponents. He took every hurdle with the grace of nn antelope and disposed of Fi ler, his nearest opponent, liy four yards. McCnHoeh of the New York A. C. ran a splendid race in the high hurdles and le.l all the way, winning by about five feet from Filer. Sheridan, In the discus and shot, and Cook, in the high jump and broad jump, were the dual winners of the meet. ORBY HAS “A LEG.” His Trainer Is Confident He Will Re cover With Proper Treatment. Richard Crokcr tnhl a reporter the other day that the only thing wronp with Orby was a strained tendon. Dr Met 'abo, Mr. Croker’s stud managei says the horse has what is termed b> turfmen “a let;.'’ Dr. McCabe says h* i needs rest and is getting it. and tna I the I>erhy winner is improving. Or'ii will continue to improve, he states, i the treatment lie is receiving is no interfered with. He also predicts tha I the horse will eventually be in cv.-i better condition than oil tie- day a i won the Derby. t r t I f e c SPORTING NOTES. Alex Smith, the open golf eliampio of America, who is the professional a the Garden City Golf Club, Long I land, will play a 36-holc match again Gilbert Nichols, of Woodlawn, at tli Tedeseo Golf Club next Wednesdu; Nichols has lately been playing tli best game of his career, and many r tiis friends are backing him to defer the champion. The match is attraetin a great deal of interest in golfing eii eles, and there promises to he a lart “gallery” when ilie men tee off. ‘WIIjL.IAM DAHJjEN. Shortstop of New York T**am of the Na tional Ijeaffue. Herreshoffs if Are Happy. Bristol. B. I.. Auk. £r..—There was a generaI rejoicing about tbe Herreshoff shops here in regard to the result of tin* Astor anil Kins’s flip raws olf Newport, 1'csigner Nat Herreshoff joining with nis foremen and mechan ics in the general acclamation of th*' winning of the Astor cup for sloops liy1 the Avenger and the fact that .1. Rog ers Maxwell's Queen was first in the race for the Kins’ cup. The Avenger was lu re Tuesday, min ing from Newport to have some refit ting done before participating in the racing at tin* head of Bong Island sound and at Sandy Hook. The Ista lona, George M. Pynchon, owner, was here also the first of the week, getting her racing rig improved for the Atlantic Club events in New York bay. The second open regatta of the sea son of the Bristol Yacht Chib will take place pi xt Saturday over the regular course, with the prospect r.f :tu or m.ir entries. Handsome cups are to be of fered fot the winners in the different clashes, and the race is one in which the percentage will count in the cham pionship of the season in Narragansett hay and a champion derided upon by the officials of the Narragansett Bay Yacht Racing Association. HUNGRY FOR CONTESTS. Gothamites Anxious for Any Kind of Automobile Competition. Now 'York. Auk. 25 New York is hun gry for contests. It matters not what the contest may he ns lonK as motor cars are brought toKether, up hill or down dale, over the roads or on the track. Proposa any sort of a race in New York City and the habitues of the Great White Way will reply “Count us in.” Under such condi tions It does seem a shame that there is not a professional promoter who will keep the hall a rollinK. William Pickens and his asssociates of the United States Racing Association j made a success of the 24-hour race, and might have had another one, but the track promoters preferred to hold tho track for another meet. The Automobile Club of America is re ported to have again entered the field, and the report, although premature, is .that this organization has taken the open ing date of the New York Motordrome and will promote short races and a 24 liour race to start Sept. 6. Tlip New York Motordrome, by tho way. is the old Morris Park race track, which is to be revived by a number of New York millionaires, including Edward Russell Thomas. O. F. Thomas, Walter Allen and Pave JTennen Morris. It is said that the surface will lie covered with tar vin. that the banks will be raised and tho cours*1 will he made the fastest automo bile track in the world. BOXING NOTES.

Many Stars Cannot Be Spared For Cincinnati Competition r.nll players with base-running rep utations are taking a lot of interest in t'ne unique events to be contested on I the baseball field in Cincinnati on Howler’s day, early in September. The “field” in the diflerent events, how ever. wi'l hardly include the cream of the profession, as managers objet to losing the services of star players for I (two or three days. The expenses of the players will be paid, and most of the fast men are anxious to compete, t Itut it is doubtful, for instance, if Mc Graw will allow George Browne to ab sent himself from the Polo grounds next month, or that Pat Donovan will 1 let Billy Maloney make the long trip Danny Hoffman is anxious to pit his t speed against the National Leagut j stars. "Hans Wagner and Tommy Leah will bo entered in the long-distance throw ing contest and base-running contests, respectively, at the great baseball Held meet which is to take place in Cincin nati or. September in. Ilans is said to have broken the world’s record for hurling the horsehide not so long ago, while Leach is known to be one of the fastest men in the game today when it comes to getting around the sacks. The two Pirates are considered to have better than an even chance to land the prizes in the events and bring glory to the Smoky City. Manager MeAleer, of the St. Louis Browns, says that much as he would like his speedy infielder. Harry Niles, to enter the base-rnnning contests, lie fee's that he could not spare Niles even for a day. "If all the teams would call off their games for that day, the entry list would he far great1 than is now promised, hut the b leagues never allow such a thing interfere with their schedules,” ss; McAieer. Every effort has bet brought to bear on President Ebbett of the Brooklyn club, to let Malone compete. Maloney is considered fast on his feet as any man in eith' league, and probably could' win tl dash to first base, but when it com to encircling the bases George Brown Niles or Cobb, of Detroit, might pu: him. Harry Bay and Elmer Flick, of t! Cleveland team, cannot enter the lisl as both are on the shelf at preset Willie Keeler has also been invite but of late years Keeler has be showing up a bit. and probably won I nett care to go against the young sprinters. SAWYER WINS. Puts Black Fitzsimmons Down and Out Early In Third Round at Waierville Saturday. Watorvil'e, Me., Aug. 23.—(Special).— Ti.o greatest athh tie exhibition ever seen in this city was pulled oft at tne armory last Saturday evening. About TOO persons witnessed the sport, the old building being taxed to the limit. There ww four six-round bouts and all wore hummers. James (Sriltln of Hanger, an ex-lightweight of Maine, acted as referee in all bouts ar.d gave satisfaction. The rst preliminary be tween Young Albert and Harry Mc Curdy, both of Augusta, went the full numb* r of rounds and some fast light ing was witnessed. The second prelim inary between Smith of Rockland and Perkins of Roston was stopped by the referee in the second round, as it was seen that "Perkins was no match for his heavier opponent. Perkins is a light and frail ehap and from the start it was seen that he was no match. He was knocked down many times during tile two rounds and the crowd clamored that the bout be stopped to prevent further injury. The semi-final was a fast one between Roderick of Water ville and Young Broad of Augusta and kept the large crowd in a roar of laughter. Roderick showed the lack of e xperience, but succeeded in landing on his rival on several occasions. The long* waited for main bout was much of a* disappointment, Black Fitzsimmons taking the count in the third round, being given considerable punishment by Sawyer, who put it all over the col ored man from the start. The rst preliminary was a fast and clean bout with groad wa ouicklv on his feet, but was kept 11 ,he region of the ropes for the remain der of the round. Round five was very slow and all th men did was to run around each oth cr. Roderick had Broad to the ropes a the sound of the P»or*Pf. Broad livened im a hit in the sixt and last round and forced the fight ins hitting Roderick a good crack on th point of the jaw. Roderick escape some hard ones by good ducking an both mixed it in good shape until tli gonpj ended the bout. The main bout for which the far had been long waiting was now read to he put on. Sawyer entered the rin at m.ns B. M., and Fitzsimmons shor lv afterward. Both men PTot a prre. ovation. Before the bout “Kid” Shf of ITallowell was introduced to mei Now England at 133 any man pounds. Bound No. 1 started at 10.43 o’chiMfc Hoth men jumped from tlioir cornen at the sudnd of tlie gong '‘anil shook hands. Sawyer commenced with a stinger to the colored man’s head.

In the official report of Governor j Smith of the Philippine Islands which has just been received at Washington, tin- interesrfng information is given that it cost $2,000,000 less for the administrative purposes of the islands during the last fiscal year than was expended during the year before. Last year the Insular expenditures were $8,000,000, while they were $10, 000,000 for the previous year. In each of the years the insular revenues aggregated $11,000,000, leaving u very satisfactory and substantial surplus »n the Philippine treasury. Further retrenchment of 1'liilipplpe expendi tures is one of the important reforms which Secretary Taft hopes to ac complish during his forthcoming visit to the Islands. Colonel George R. Colton, whose markedly successful administration of the Dominican customs receivership has been re warded by a promotion to the head of tiie Philippine customs service, is pre paring a plan for a reduction of ex penses in this branch of the island government. It is hoped that a con siderable saving can be effected by reducing the number of American employees iii the customs service. During his last visit to the Islands Secretary Taft succeeded in reducing the insular expenditures by a million dollars, lie has a way of accomplish ing things and may do as well this time. The report shows that as rapidly as they can trained Filipinos are taking the places of Americans in the Philippine civil service, aiul as a Filipino employee costs about one-half ns much as an American tills helps to reduce administrative expenses. At the present time it is necessary in maintain a force of Slut American school teachers in the Islands, but in time from among the Filipino teachers who are now giving elementary in struction a sufficient number can be trained to take the place of the* majority of the American teachers. The latter are at present employed in, tie* most part as superintendents and Instructors in English. I mrty nitpinn students navo com a four years* course in various American universities and colleges and an* r» turning to tin* islands this year where they are under contract witii the government to serve four years in tin* Philippine civil service. Most «.f them will become teachers of Publish and in time some of them are e:i fu- i, and most of it is given away. Though the greater part of each vear's output of red cellar is used for pencils, this is not by any means its only use. The exceptional physical qualities of the wood have caused iis utilization for posts, poles, and ties, for which the poorer grades will serve, and for buckets, cigar boxes, and ve neering. which, like pencils, require hcartwood of the better grades. Yet the amount of cedar consumed in the manufacture of buckets, cigar boxes, and the like is comparatively sniali and is growing dess as the supply of wood decreases. The pencil companies can afford to pay stunipage prices that are prohibitive to the other industries, and they thus furnish a ready market for all cedar of good quality. Pencil mills are scattered in every Southern state where the source of supply prom ises to hold out longest with the least possible expense for transportation. In this way one industry is gradually monopolizing the supply. Though the supply of cedar suitable for pencils has been greatly depleted, and though it is certain that before long it will be practically exhausted, no steps have been taken to provide for a future supply. It was therefore the object of the study, the results of which ure contained in this govern nient circular, to devise some method by which a future supply of cedat might be secured. The circular Iron t which we have quoted proceed* to givt j a lot of good advice as to the inon economic use of cedar and the repro duction of the cedar forests which are now being cut ir. such prodigal fashion and it is hoped this advice will be fol lowed, but this is a wasteful age, an 1 in pencil manufacture, as well us in many other lines of business, it taois small account of the coming years. The Crop Outlook. The government crop report esti mate makes exceedingly Interesting reading. There will be nearly 3,000. 000.000 bushels of corn, according to its estimate, 4X0.000.000 bushels of winter wheat. 229,00 ,000 bushels of spring wheat, 876.000,000 bushels of oats. 31.300,000 bushels of rye and 169.000.000 bushels of barley. The crop of Europe is largely a failure and from the reports received by our department of agriculture the world win have to depend largely upon the farmers of this country during the next year for the efficiency in its food material. Jas. A. Patten, who owns 1*..000,000 bushels of oats, commenting upon the situation said: "I look for an unprecedented year of prosperity among the farmers and all the general business interests of the country. The railroads of the country will have all the grain they can handle, in fact some of the roads will find themselves rushed to take care of the shipments.” Reports like this make exceedingly pleasant reading for the American people. Ex-Sccrettary of tile Trcausry, Leslie M. Shaw, declares that the farms of this country produce more than $6,500,000,000 per annum. These figures are significant of the real source of the larger part of our national prosperity. With the farmers of this country turning out this enormous amount of products a year and with good markets in which to dispose of them at home and abroad, it is inevitable that the other interests of the country will enjoy a first class market at the Hood tide of its capacity for consumption and will have their share in the general prosperity. With tlie farmers of the nation producing this annual volume of wealth it is be yond the power of any coterie of stock gambling financiers on Wall street to seriously affect tile welfare of the re public by impairing the confidence of its business interests. The progress of the Panama canal work is generally conceded to lie ot a most gratif> ing character and would seem to Justify the wisdom of file move made when capable army engineers were put in charge of it.

The duties of the Revenue Cutter Service are varied in the extreme, and involve the right of search of all mer chant vessels arriving in the United States, or within four leagues of it if bound to a United States port; the suppression of piracy: the search for wrecks and missing vessels; the en forcement of the neutrality laws, by preventing armed expeditions against neighboring friendly governments; the suppression of mutiny: the protection of the government timber reserves; the construction and inspection of lift—sav ing stations; the drilling of the life saving crews; the enforcement of law and the protection of property in Alaska; the protection of seal and oth er fishing in Alaskan waters; the des truction of derelicts and other dangers to navigation: the rendering of as sistance to vessels in distress, and aid ing th*' shipwrecked; the enforcement of navigation laws, and of the Na tional Marine Quarantine regulations; guarding the safety of the public at yacht races and regattas; the supervi sion of anchorages at certain ports; the protection of the- sponge* fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico and the Straits of Florida. The first appointments of officers in the Revenue flitter Service wore made from amongst those who had served in the Continental Navy, and the first commission granted by President Washington to any officer afloat was issued to Captain Hopley Yrnton, of New Hampshire, in the United States lirvuiniu Cutter Service. After the rlis Inmlnvnt f the Continental Navy, following the clone of the Revolution, there was no sea force available for the protection of the coasts and the mari time interests of the newly constituted United States until the organization of tie- Revenue Cutter Service under an net of the first Congress, approved by President Washington August 4. 1730. In a little more than a year thereafter ten vessels were ready for duty, and for several years they formed the only armed force afloat belonging to the young republic, anrl were engaged in patrolling the roast line of the 1 ’llited States and enforcing its maritime laws. The r'*venue cutters co-operate with tfie Navy whenever the President so directs, and the ships, officers, and men of the service have on many im portant occasions aided gallantly and effectively in the defence of their country.— David Barry In the New England Magazine.

If srems strange, says the author of a startling artir le in Appleton’s Maga 5'tin-, of Chili- has turned 2,000,0n acres into an iminrnsi ly profitable area. Their sprigs of olive, too, no v cover 1,000 orchrr Is. And a fe>y orange cuttings from the Brazilian Kurt Coast, due to the foresight of an Aim-rh-an woman, today represents iino.iMK) a year for the California crop alone. These things go on in silence. No his.; torian chronicled the arrival among us in DJii of tiie Lima bean, which todajK is such n plentiful and important crojy that special freight rates are quoted for it between southern California aiftt the Atlantic coast. We save some tiie names, even while we forget the1 stout-hearted Vladimir cherry and the explorers brought from Russia the source. Few are apt to recall that the Siberian crab apple, to provide hardy fruits for our own northern regions. As one of the smaller things, take the horseradish of Matin, a little vil lage near Vienna the best of its kind in the world. Then behold roots se cured on the spot, and in due time handed over to New Jersey growers. The result was surprising. Not only did it yield a ton more per acre, hut the cash result was *100 an acre over and above the ordinary yield. And In a single county of that small state rbif production of horseradish grew front, a few hundred pounds a year to more than l,000,00i) pounds. It has been the same with the potato from the High lands of Colombia and Peru; the rhu barb from Central Asia; tiie asparagus from England; tiie celery of South Europe; the Boldi and Telit barleys frpm Algeria, which have given such wonderful results in our Southwest; likewise the Ivanov rye from Russia* now grown in Maryland and Kansas: and the Abruzzes rye from the Italian Highlands. »end out and get the best in the world; then educate the farmers in Its culture and the public In its use; and after that grow it here at homo with scientific zeal. Such was the theory which created the Bureau or Seed and Plant Introduction at Washington, now recording a dozen new arrivals a day from every part of the earth. And remember that in any one of these tiny seeds or apparently, wilted cuttings may lie possible millions of money and the changing of desert into farm. We are all familiar with polr^r ex ploration—its thrills. Its terrors; the heroism with which its devotees face a dreadful death; and with pioneer work in equatorial Africa. But what- is the practical value to mankind of such tasks, compared with those of the men whose work is hero described? They, too, risk life nnd limb and healthi suffer many hardships, great heart and cold, fever and thirst—all the dis comforts of a Peary or a Stanley. Rut what did Sven Hedtn bring back from Central Asian wilds one half so valua ble ns Prof. N, K. Hansen's new alfalfa? And while we have rich men in plenty, how few there urc who have served their country as Barbour Lathrop of Chicago lias served it. lie loves world-travel ttiis man, and so ho works hard for us in Asia, Africa, the South Seas—wherever lie may be; an "Honorary Explorer” these seven years, taking with him David Fair child as plant expert and going round the world twice, visiting every con tinent and every important arcliipbia go, sending home thousands of specimens, from a single cutting in a a tin tube to a ton of some Arabian or African grain. J A Apology to the Judge. When John Scott (Lord Eldon) was at 3 the bar he was remarkable for the sang.v froid with which he treated the Judges. 1 On one occasion a junior counsel, on hearing their lordships give judgement against their client, exclaimed that "he M was surprised at such a decision.” This was construed into contempt of court and he was ordered to attend at the court next morning. Fearful of the consequences, he con sulted his friend. John Seott, who told him to he perfectly at ease, for ho would apologize for him in a way that would avert any unpleasant result. Ac eordingiy, when the name of the delin quent was called, John rose and coolly addressed the assembled tribunal: "I am very sorry, my Lords, that my

young friend lias so far forgotten him self as to treat your honorable liench with disrespect. He is extremely peni tent. and you will kindly ascribe his un intentional insult to Ignorance. You must see at once that it did originate in that. He said he was surprised at the decision of your lordship. Now if he had not been very ignorant of what takes place at this court every day— had he known you but half as long as X have—he would not be surprised at any thing you did.”—Tit-Bits. It is figured that for the 20-year peri od from 1«X7 to 1906 the applications filed for divorce throughout the coun try reached the total of 1.400.000. and probably on these applications about 1,000,000 divorces were granted. In 10° 20-vear period from 1867 to 1886 the number of divorces secured was 328.000. Recuperative Effect. Considered with reference to Its recuperative effect, there is not much good in the ordinary vacation as there Is in a single bottle of Hood 3 Sarsaparilla. The latter costs 31.; the former—well, that depends; bow much did yours cost last year? Hood's Sarsaparilla refreshes the tired blood, sharpens the dulled ap petite, restores the lost courage.

THEY KNOW IT. Thousands of people throughout the country know that the ordinary reme dies for Piles—ointments, supposi tories and appliances—will not cure. The best of them only bring passing relief.

It is perfectly harmless to the most d. licate constitution. A month’s treat ment in each package. Sold at $1.00. Cowditeh, Webst'-r C\>., L.M Water St„ Augusta.

N'oon. the dinner hour, the hour of comfort, of pleasure and relaxation— Ihe ono hour in the twenty-four which comes to men and women of every sta tion with greater similarity than the hour of any other function in life. Promptly as tiie clock strikes 12 in Augrtsta tiie shadows on anxious faces turn to lines of good will, and if vil lainous hot bread, pies, spices ami other indigostibles w re excluded there would he no such words as dyspepsia or indigestion in tiie dictionary. But the contrary is true, and medical science has to step in and aid the man nr woman who has been too busy to pay proper attention to health. The greatest step forward in medical discovery is Mi-o-na, which cures all stomach and digestive troubles. In hundreds of the best homos in Augusta and adjoining towns the handy little tablets, so pleasant to take, yet effective, have given quick and lasting relief In indigestion and that disagreeable full feeling after eating. Mi-o-na acts very gently. Much cf its wonderful power over Indigestion comes from its uniform but sustaining action. The required stimulating and strengthening is given to the important organs of digestion without producing Ihe slightest weakness or reaction. A 50-cent box lasts for a couple of weeks and will ward off a dozen at tacks of indigestion. Bowditeh, Web ster Co., of Augusta and Geo. W. Dorr of Waterville give a guarantee, absolute and unqualified, with every box of Mi-o-na to refund the money if it does not give satisfaction. OCEAN POINT. Annual Meeting of the Association Is Held.

THROW OUT THE LINE Giva Them Help and Many Augusta People Will Be Happier. t “Throw Out the Life Line”— The kidneys need help. They’re overworked—can’t get the poi son Altered out of the blood. They're getting worse every minute. Will you help ihem? Loan’s Kidney Pills have brought thou sands of kidne’ys sufferers back from the verge of despair. Will cure any form of kidney trouble. B. E. Davis, carpenter, of 14 Glendon fit., Augusta, Me., says: "You are at lib erty to continue using my statement in favor of Doan’s Kidney Pills which I gave for publication in 1*9$. I have not changed my opinion of their value and am pleased to recommend them at every opportunity. I know from the experien ces of friends, as well as my own, that this remedy can be depended upon to cure backache and kidney troubles of any kind. For two years or more previ ous io first using Doan's Kidney Pilis I had suffer'd from pain in my back, at times so severe that I was laid up for a day or two. The remedies X used gave but little relief until I had the good for tune to hear of Doan’s Kidney I'ills and gy the prevailing high prices. A notice was received Saturday at local police headquarters to the effect that the price of police helmets had been ad vanced by one of the big supply firms from J2.no to $2.75, "owing to the in crease in the cost of material.” Prof. O. T. Fletcher, formerly of Augusta, but now of Northampton, Mass., is visiting his old home in this city. prof.

Railroad building operations of the Rewiston, Augusta Waterville Rail road are rapidly approaching this city, and soon nothing will be left to set the road in operation except the building of tile power house and install its ma chinery.

Proprietor Allen of the I.avren e louse was somewhat chagrined Sunday norning when lie found that two board ■rs had, as it appeared, skipped their ii.ard bill. They were the young men. »ne of whom has been singing illus rated si ngs. and the other playing tin' iano for his partner, at the moving pirture exhibition in the Opera house. It is alleged that after the moving pie hire show Saturday night, the young nu n went to their room in the Laiv renee house and threw their suit eases nit of (lie window. In falling they drink a clothesline and broke it, let ting down the washing whinh had been Inmg out. An employe of the house lieard the noise, anil looking out though' that the noise was caused by diobesline thieves, and prepared t^> watch operations and catch them in the act. Nothing further developed in tills line, and it was then found that llio rooms bad beep vacated. Mr. Allen went to the railroad station to intcr ept the two young men. but the officer in dutv did not wish to detain them without a warrant, which there was not time to secure. Skipping board bills has been a frequent offense tn this city lately, and hotel men are bo'ng forced to require advance payment in order t secure themselves from loss. LOCAL NOTICES.

A wife eutinoi maintain an action against her hushand even for services as cook in his logging operations; and wln-n in such action the fact of coevr lure appears, the. action must be dis missed even though the husband does net appear and is defaulted. To sustaint an attachment ofspe cilie property to enforce a claim of lien theieon under Itevised Statutes, Chap ter 9.1, Section til, it is not sufficient to stale in the writ outside of the decla ration that the suit is brought to en force the lien, it must be so stated in the declaration itself. 3.

This is it real action which lias be fore been to the law court upon a ipies t i«.11 nf law as reported in lot Me.. 134. At th" second trial it appeared that the plaintiff had the older record title though that of the defendant began in lSfis front i>ne then claiming to be in possession as owner. It did not appear that tile plaintiff or any of his prede cessors in title liad been near thede manded lot or land, or paid any taxes upon it. or asserted any claim to it since sometime prior to 1SGS. It further appeared that the defend ant and his predecessors in title were during that time the only persons who had made any use of the land or en tered upon it. or paid taxes upon it. or asserted any claim to it. Whatever occupation or possession the defend ant and his predecessors ill title had of the land was unquestionably under claim ot title and was uninterrupted. The various acts of occupation sueli as they were began even prior to 1 st'.s and continued with more or less frequency for a period of more than 20 consecu tive years. Hence the issue of fact was narrowed down to the question wheth er the acts of occupation testified to were of such a character as would in form the claimant under the old* r record title, assuming him to be pres ent and observant, that some part of the land was being occupied by some other person as liis own. The jury found that they were, under instruc tions net complained of. The part of tile lot claimed to have been thus occupied was a meadow of some ve to eight rods near tile center of the lot. Besides e vidence that hay bad been cut and made on the lot and hauled from the lot nearly every year, there was evidence' that visible im provements had been made upon the land itse If. that the area of clearing had been enlarged, that bushes had been c ut and burned, that stumps had been removed, that grass seed had been sowed, tliat fertilizers bad been put on. that roads and culverts or bridges of a some'wliat permanent character suitable for summer use had been con structed on the lot. and that repairs bad been made* upon these from time to time. Whether the acts testifies! to were ac tually done* and wile-tiler they would have been notice to the record owner of ail adverse i*c. upation Were* >il ami the $s!i,inin,iii!il tine of til. latter may he east into the simile hy a $lt,niiii, wires being re quired lo handle the through business 1.1 twee,I the two cities. The fact that it is possible to talk from New York to almost any place in the country within two thousand miles leaves only the Pacific Coast and a f-w other places that are dependent upon tie tele graph for quick communication with the metropolis. The insurance reports show that there have been more disastrous lmte! tires in the country during the present year than within any simitar period covered I the records. At the same time New York lias 1>. en singular]'.* t:v;c from conflagrations of this kind. This fact is attributed partly to'the rapid r« placement of tin- older hotel.-: in 'he city l.y the latest type of lire I'roof structures and partly to the rffi eieney of the lire service. While New m-k's smoke t aters have been lauded as tie- most ellieient of their eraft. the highest of the new hotels maintain fire departments of tie ir own. moilel il on that of the city anil closely rivalling it in tin- rapidity of their work. There was nil instance of this a few days ago wlnn a lighted tigar or cigarette dropped on one of the awnings of the Hole] Aster set it ablaze and the tire was communicated through the open windows to the drapi ries ot on** of the rooms. A pass-rliv turned in an alarm and within two minutes the engines whirled into Times Square. Kvi-n lie fore tiny arrived, limvevi r. the hotel's fir department had Minguislv-d the lilaze. The division fire chief, arriving on tile scene, did not alight from his wagon. "We never lay a line of hose into that building,” he said.

Seven Are Held For Stabbing, it.’ Washington, Aug. 23.— Seven men, five of whom are being held, were arrested today on suspicion of having knowledge of u mysterious stabbing affair which oc curred at the home of Mrs. Mary Carrico, 1:38 One Half street, early tills morning Mrs. Carrico, who is C/i years old, was awakened by a noise in the room. As she raised up in bed she was murderously assaulted by a man armed with a knife. She was stabbed repeatedly over the heart, and her son. Joseph Cariieo. also was stabbed several times. The assailant escaped. Mrs. Carrico and her son will recover. The police believe that the attack on Mrs. Carrico followed a family quarrel. There was no light in the room and Mrs. Car rico and her son had no knowledge of the man who attacked them. SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES. A verdict of guilty of murder was rendered Friday afternoon Ijv the jury in the case of Ruigi Cardinelli. who has been on trial in the supreme court at Bangor for causing the death of another Italian at Millinocket last spring. The jury deliberated about one hour. The at rival at Biddeford of Fred W. Robinson from Rowell Thursday noon, resulted in the definite identification of the body of the man killed Monday at the Alfred road bridge on the B. M. The dead man is John Robinson, a mule spinner, whose home was in Bridgewater, Vt. He was an uncle of the Rowell man. Mr. Robinson said thiit his uncle had lived in Hyde Park. Mass., for about 10 years previous to going to Bridgewater. He said the man was never married to his knowl edge, and that he was about IS years old. John H. Evans of Rewiston, who says that he is employed as a coal cart driver in that oily for Harper Goog ins, walked into the police station at Portland Thursday night at midnight seeking protection from a man named Heffron of that city whom he says had chased him with a gun and pur sued him to Portland. He was locked up in the lodging room and at 3 o'clock Friday morning was discovered hanging to the door of the room al most dead. He had made an unsuc cessful attempt to commit suicides,with the aid of a towel placed in a cell. Capt. Bryson telephoned to Rewiston Friday and found that Evans is a state charge in that city. He will be held pending an investigation. Rouise Mason, as queen of the ter centennial at Bath, was presented with a diamond ring. and Mae Snow. as princess, was given a gold watch set with diamonds, by F. H. Kimball and It. C. Webber, managers of the ter centennial committee. It is interesting to note how man has borrowed many of his ideas from the animal world. Wasps made paper from wood long before man decided it was a good substitute for rags. The folding scissors and folding pocket compass are only copies of the folding lower Jaw of the dragon fly. Tht> flying squid, a spp cies of cuttlefish, has a way of pro jecting itself as high as 12 feet above the surface of the water by forcibly expelling water from its body. Man saw this and invented the skyrocket. The rope-making machines used in the I'nited States navy yards follows al most the precise lines that a spider does when making bis own frail cable. BAD DREAMS. Frequently Due to Coffee Drinking. one of the common symptoms of coffee poisoning is the bad dreams that spoil what should be restful sleep.
