The Monomoy Point Crew Saves Captain and Crew of Schooner Rebecca Shepherd. PRAISE FOR POWER LIFE ROATS. Race Point Boat Unable to Get Through Surf to the Harold 1. McCarthy, Which Safely Reaches Port. AT POLLOCK RIP SLUE. Chatham, Mass., Dec. 4.—Abandoned by her crew after an all-day battle with tempest driven seas, the three masted schooner Rebecca Shepherd, coal laden, was pounding: heavily on the rocks at Pollock Rip slue at sun down tonight, and there were grave fears thar the return of davnicht to morrow would find the vessel a total wreck. Her captain, W. H. Strout, and the six members of the crew, reached shore safely in the big power life boat of the Monomoy Point life saving station, the crew of which had stood by the schooner for hours assisting in the futil struggle to remove her from her dangerous position. The Rebecca Shepherd left St. George, S. A., Xov. -8, for Lynn. Mass. She was off Hyannis yesterday and when near the gas buoy in Pollock Hip slue the wind died out and the schooner let go an anchor. During the night, the anchor became fouled with the buoy, the wind corning in strong from the northeast, and making it im possible for the crew to get the vessel elca r. This morning tiic wind increased to a gale, and the seas growing momen tarily more violent, Capt. Ktront found his position a very perilous one. and ordered the colors set in the rigging to signal lor assistance. In spite of the heavy snow fall, the vessel was sighted from Monomoy Point about 10 o’clock and the life saving crew under com mand of Capt. Kelley set out to her assistance in the large power life boat which is kept at anchor inside the point. At that time the sea outside was run ning violently and old surfinen said the conditions were worse than on the day of the memorable storm live years ago when a gallant crew of life savers from the Monomoy Point station went to their deaths. _ iMlOIlIJ cUlfl IX u viuv-n I”'”'* boat was manned, anti, guided by Capt. Kelley, she soon rounded tlie point and put her nose into the tumbling rips. Although she carried a crew of 10 men all told, the powerful boat rode the seas with remarkable buoyancy, show ing herself greatly superior for that kind of work to the oar driven lifeboat and a little after noon she reached the schooner, which was still laboring hard in the seas about three miles off shore at the entrance of the slue. The trip was not made however without acci dent. as one of the masts and one of the gaffs were carried away when the gale tore out a sail which had been set to steady the craft. The work of boarding the schooner was accomplished with great difficulty, the men being obliged to jump one at a time as chance offered when the life boat was near as possible to the side of the threshing collier. The efforts to clear her chain from the buoy were unsuccessful, although both crews worked manfully. Big seas were breaking full across the schooner’s deck and as the tide ebbed she began to pound dangerously on the bottom. Capt. Kelley of the Monomoy Point crew' was knocked violently against the windlass by one of the seas and suffered a severe blow on the head but was not seriously hurt. i At sunset, when it had been found that the vessel was leaking badly, her captain was forced reluctantly to aban don her and he with the crew came ashore in the lifeboat. It is thought (Continued on Page Twelve.) OFF RACE POINT. lJrovinceto\vn, Mass., Dec. 4.—'The Race Point life saving crew made three heroic and unsuccessful attempts today to put off to the assistance of the three-masted schooner Harold I. Mc Carthy, Ca'pt. Wright, Philadelphia to Boston, with coal, which had struck on the bar off the point in a heavy north east snowstorm. After the lifeboat had been hurled back through the surf to tlie shore three times, the schooner worked over the shoal into deep water and he ideal round for this harbor. The lookout of the Race Point sta tion sighted the schooner at tt A. M.. today just before she struck tiie bar. It was evident that those on the vessel believed that she had cleared the point, for she had swung off before the gale and was heading into Cape Cod bay. She struck the bar a few minutes lat er. and Captain Fisher at once ordered out the lifeboat. The crew had been through a hard night of patrol duty along the beaches, contending against rain, snow, sleet and flying sand, but they hustled the boat out of the shed and dragged it along the beach until they were oppo site the schooner. At that time the vessel was bounding heavily on the bar and tli big seas were bursting over her so that it seemed as if all on board would lie carri'-d overboard every time a ave broke on board. Captain Fisher took his place at the long steering oar. and with tin- rest of the crew standing waist deep in the surf he ordered all hands to give the boat a good push into the breakers. Tin men bent their backs to the work and drove the boat out to the first line of breakers before they tumbled into it to cat.-b their oars. But the surf wasTioj heavy and the little cralt was swung about in spin of Captain Fisher's ef forts at iln- steering oar and the next instant, the crew, boat and oars were *.nF.mii,- moss on the beach. Sueli mishaps, however, do not dis courage lifesaving crews, so shaking the water out of their eyes and tipping it out of the boat, all hands made ready for another battle. Again the. surf whirl ed the lifeboat round and drove it back onto the beach with the crew floundering about in the white water. On the third attempt the lifeboat was in 1 he surf and several of the crew narrowly escaped being caught be neath It, while all hands had to swim ashore. Benumber with the cold water and ex hausted by their efforts, it was with great relief that Captain Fisher and his men saw the schooner, which still had a lit tle canvaFS on her, work into a little guzzle or channel in the bar, and then slide through into the deep water of Cape Cod bay. At 9 o'clock the schooner was working down the beach between Race Point and Wood End, evidently bound into the har bor. Several of ttie other life savers on Mon omoy Point who watched the new power boat said that an ordinary lifeboat would have had hard work getting across the rips with only man power. As the lifeboat proceeded out toward Pollock Rip the storm moderated consid- erably and the weather cleared to some extent. At noon the lifeboat was nearly out to j the schooner, which was laboring hard at the entrance to the slue. The schooner arrived in the harbor at j (Continued on Page Twelve.) Tobacco Trust President For an Ironclad Agreement.; New York, Dee. 4.—'That an ironclad agreement between all jobbers to main tain list or schedule prices an all tobacco would be profitable alike to the consumer, manufacturer and the job ber is the belief of Celeb C. Duke, vice president of the American Tobacco Co., as expressed on the witness stand today, in the hearing on the case of the United States against the American Tobacco Co. He said that under the present con ditions, it is impossible to hold jobbers to any uniform jrice and that cutting invariably results. He believed that the jobbers will take more interest in pushing the sale of goods in which there is good profit. He said that no such allowances are made jobbers on plug tobacco as on other forms of tobacco and cigarettes. Plug tobacco is sold to both jobbers and retailors. A general discount of 7 per ceni. from the face of the bill has been allowed, excepting in New England, where the discount generally is 8 per j cent. This is in addition to the usual cash discount given nearly all trades for cash. v RECEIVERS Appointed For the James town Exposition Co. Company Wishes to Protect Gov ernment—Denies Some Claims. Provision Will Be Made For Insur ing State Buildings. Norfolk, Doc. 4.—In the United States district court today, Judge Waddill de cided to appoint receivers for the Jamestown Exposition Co. He announc ed that the court, while taking charge of the affairs of the Exposition Co. from today, will take two days to con sider the names suggested by counsel for receivership. At least three re ceivers will be appointed. The decision was reached after argu ments and was based on a decision to protect all parties from any advantage that might accrue under a continuance of present conditions. The case was heard today on the ap plication of John Monk, mechanics lien creditor, and the Carran Print Co. of St. Eouis, judgment creditor. The Exposition Co’s, answer which showed the company's desire tor a re ceivership to protect the federal gov eminent and other creditors, admitted the allegation of insolvency, but denied that no proper accounting of its funds had been made and denied also the cor rectness of the mechanics lien claims af $2-5,000. Chief Justice Illodgett of the Rhode island supreme court, chairman of that state’s Jamestown Commission, urged the receivership appointments as im portant to 2-t states which had erected buildings, the title to which is contest ed by private lien holders and on which insurance companies have refused in surance after Nov. 3b. The court agreed that action would be taken looking to establishing some rate of insurance for the buildings. REQUISITION FOR ADAMS Wanted at Teluride, Colo., for Murder Of Arthur Collins. Boise, luaho, Dec. 4.— IU American public is inclined to think that the recall of Aoki is due to the determination on the part of Foreign Minister Hayashi to pursue a different policy which will be antagonistic to America. The otlicial above quoted as sured The Associated Press representa tive that such a construction was en tirely erroneous. On the contrary, he said the immigration question is near er now to a friendly solution than ever before. Minister Hayashi is determined to exercise all the authority vested in the foreign minister to control the immi gration of laborers. “We are anxious,-’ said this official, “to avoid any sacrifice of our treaty rights with America and Canada, but we can and will control the immigra tion to either country.” At a convention of the emigration companies licit! today it was resolved to consolidate into one large company. Minister Hayashi addressed tlio con vention and said that steps must be taken to fully regulate immigration. It was also resolved to enlarge the bureau of emigration anu a comniiiie« was appointed to confer with Minister Hayashi. A BITTER ATTACK By Sir Wilfred Laurier on Mr. Borden For His Position. Ottawa. Ont., Dec. 4.—Before an an dience of 3000 persons Tuesday night Sir Wilfred Laurier made a bitter at tack for his attitude in going about in British Columbia trying to catch votes by favoring the restriction of Japan ese immigration. The premier said that while China was not. Japan was. an ally to Britain, and if war should break out in Asia any time he said, Japan doutblcss would be found fighting side by side with British ships. "So long as I am head of the govern ment which advises his excellency, the governor general,” said Sir Wilfred, “that government will never do any (Continued on Page Eleven.)

Reynolds’ Fine Stable. The following article taken from the Turf, Farm ami Home on W. E. Rey nolds stable is of interest to the lovers of the horse flesh. We -were In Winslow last week, and meeting George Dustin, lie' invited us over to the stable "to see the colts.” After looking the lot over, it struck us that Mr. Reynolds would soon be driv ing races behind one of his own breed ing. We found three record horses in this stable, it seems a little odd to us. but all of them wear the same record, 2.19%. Grace I.ake (trotter) Carl C. ttrot) and Dorris 2.19% pace. Lucy Patchen 2.24%, a broodmare by Patchen Wilkes, makes four with rec ords in standard time, they were all marked by Mr. Reynolds, or his trainer. Geo. Dustin. One other record mare is Geneva W. 2.34. by Gideon. Grace Lake 2.19% has a filly at foot by Marston C. 2.19%. this filly is sim ply without a fault. The color is a rich rod chestnut, star in forehead, one white ankle behind. In all our travels we have never seen a better shaped one. Grace Lake is now in foal to Bingen 2.06%. Lucy Patchen 2.24% has a brown colt foal, also by Marston C. Geneva W. 2.34 has a good looking chestnut filly, another Marston C. A big bay yearling filly, by Browr. Braden 2.13% (out of Geneva W.) a very handsome filly, has one of the very best shaped heads, a filly that would please you. A big bay filly by Joe Pointer 2.05% out of Lucy Patchen 2.24%, that George D^ustin thinks well of. A five year old bay mare by Em peror Wilkes 2.20% out of a mare by Wilkes 85071 completes the string. This last one is mixed gaited, fair size. Some day she may decide to move along at one gait or the other. Here in this stable in Winslow, are found in one barn, Carl C. and Doris. Grace I-ako was a very consistent race mare and is proving a decided success as a brood mare. Three record brood mares, and five sound, clean, well bred colts or tillies, that look like ready money. To wind up with Grace Lake 2.19*4 will drop a fbal next season by Bingen 2.06’i. Why should not Mr. Reynolds be driving a winner of his own breeding before very long? We tried to convince the owner of Carl C. that it would pay them (not in cash, by any means) to take this fast trotter to Boston and step him on the speedway. There's only one trotter that can beat him, and be would know he had been to a horse race, when it was over. A Jolly Gathering. There was a jolly gathering at Stort to pass one of the most pleasant evenings on record. It seemed to he the general consensus of opinion with the guests that Acting Chef I>. P. Mansfield, was about the best in his line, and that the bantiuec it could not in justice bo called a dinner—was cooked and served to the King's taste, the height of culinary skill. At the close of the session at the tahh there was much post prandial eloi|uenee and telling of stories by the assembled guests. Hibernians Nominate Officers. Waterville Lodge.

The Cause of Many There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the k idneys. If yon are feel ing badly yon can make no mistake by taking Dr.'- Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and* over comes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often throvgli the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful "new dis covery and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kil mer Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

DOINGS IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS. BASEBALL. Pres. Dovey and Oilier Officers Re-elected. Manager of Boston Nationals To fie Named Later. Trenton of Trl-state Booked For the Eastern League. Boston, D* i -'ill.- annual meeting of th-; Boston Baseball A-soeiation i Na tional League) was held yesterday at the club’s headquarters in Hie Peddock building, with Pres. George P. Dovey in ttie ohaii The stockholders present were Fred Tommy. Jolm Dovey, 11 Johnson. C. James Connolly and V red Woodlo' k. Pres. Dovey held proxies from John Tenor. William Lar k and 11 Hudnran of Pittsburg. The old officers wen re-tleeted with the exception of a manager Pres. Dovey will look after a new man for this place John Tener. the Pittsburg stockholder, is the old Chicago pitcher, who is now a banker in Pittsburg. Mr Toner was elected grand ruler of the Kiks in Phil adelphia last summer, and has never lost his love for the old game that he learned lo play in Haverhill. Mass. President George B. Dovey of th*' Boston National Club said yesterday that Manager Fred Tenn reveal. hut hi docs declare that at the pre nit writing the prospect for securing this man ar extremely remote, ami that the chance are that when the annotincement or a leader for th Keds fc>r next season finally is made it will sound so much like John Ganzel that no one. not evn President Herrmann, will he able tu tell the difference. Ganzel would have a decided advan tage over any other manager right at the start, in that he knows exactly what material he has on hand to work with and where tHi* team needs strengthening. He has worked with all the men during the past year and knows their strength and weakness His long previous experience In last company has given him an excellent line cm practically all the players in the big league now. so that he would be better fitted than any other man who could he secured—unless It should happen to be a manager of established reputation in the majors—to advise President Herrmann in the matter of making trades. Ganzel’s popularity with the players is undoubted, and that they have confidence in him was shown on several occasions last season when Managet Hanlon absented himself from the team. The only thing that has beer said against Ganzel as a manager sr far has been that he is not a Ham Lobert in runing the bases. But if he can deliver the goods ,.n alt other counts this slight handicap easily can be overlooked and made no count at nil BASEBALL NOTES. Pi s Povey of Boston will make a fight at the anual meeting to have the playing rules simplified. Most of the National League man nates will reach New Yoik next Sundaj for the annual meeting.

A Summary of Some of the Most Im portant Events of the Day. Burglars, who reached the place in an automobile early Tuesday, blew the safe in the postoffice at Garden City, I,. I.. and secured $1000 in cash and stamps. A village watchman, who in terrupted their work, was also robbed and locked up in the building, the keys to which he carried. The annual meeting of the American Hod Cross was held Tuesday at Wash ington. The general meeting was pre ceded by a meeting of the committee presided over by General George W.

The delegates represent ing the general association numbering about GO then convened to receive the report of (he committee. Frank Wayland Palmer, formerly public printer, died of pneumonia Tuesday at Chicago, aged 80 years. Mr. Palmer served as government printer under several administrations.

Fowl and spring chickens lOWllc, roosters 7c. HORSE MARKET. About the same story in the horse traffic. Trade dull, feed high and money j scarce, is the general characteristic of j the horse market. Supplies of fresh country consignments are greatly re duced for the limited demand, and are eliing at small profit to the dealers. Heavy amounts of second hand com mercials are turned in. and the move ment is rapid, such classes selling at the lowest ebb during the past four years. First class harness classes are scarce, but on these trade holds steady at even values. Purchasers wlio have a good amount of feed on hand are taking advantage of drop in prices of second hand commercials and are getting some good quality horses at gi-patiy reduced figures. First class drafters. 140ft to 1700 lbs, slow at $200r?i$400; 1300 to 1600 lbs. drafters at $175$ $300; expressers, milk team, delivery and general purpose horses at $160 and upward, according to quality: second hand commercials at $76 upward; first class harness classes at $200&$500; medium to good at $150$ $200. Al the sale stables—Wheeler McEl- veen Co. had on sale two carloads i of fresh country horses, including first class drafters and light mercantiles. Also 100 head of second hand horses of all classes. Trade was slow with no increase of values. Isburgh Co. have on for Tuesday j the ">d, a sale of 85 head of horses from the Suburban Express and Parcel Co j During last week their sales were well i attended and the 65 head of acclimated horses offered sold well at even values, i xicu iicaa t-tueava ere in gnoa acmaiui, the best of the drivers selling at $150'® $175. Moses Oilman Son of Cambridge had a fair week’s trade for driving horses, which sold at steady prices. The Welch Hall Co. disposed of two loads of fresh country horses and HO head of second hand horses. Sales were dull, at the lower values prevailing Canada has captured the crowning honor in the international livestock exposition at Chicago, defeating the American breeders on their own grounds. The grand championship in the steer class goes to a Canadian ex hibitor. to the surprise ot the native stock men.

AUGUSTA, ME. _ nrt12no1 St. Albans, were among the guests >f Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Blaisdell Thurs day. Miss Alice Parkman and Miss Bes sie Leavitt returned Friday from Cleanliness in Milking. Boards of health in nearly every large city are adopting rules In regard to milk that will compel dairymen to he much ilore careful in methods than they ever hate been, anil it is certainly a good thing; hut there are two sides of the question. At the extremely low prices [■aid dairymen for milk it is absolutely impossible for them to comply with the lemands of the boards, li is lindoubt ■dly true that much disease is contracted from f.nil milk, and it is right that pro ■a.so here from. The milking shouid lie done in a nire clean barn; tile cows diould be as clean as they can la; made; the milker should have perfectly clean, dry hamb, and liis clothes should bo d “'tless. All this, however. Is expensive. There ire mighty fi w dairies that are properly •■pupped to do business in this up-to-date fashion, and farm hands, as a rule, are not trained to be particularly neat in their personal apparel, if dairymen are o go to all this extra trouble and expense they should be paid for doing so. and laid as other people are paid for scien tific labor, and this is scientific labor. If the people of the city demand milk from cows that have a bath every day ind that arc examined as to their health Old that live In comfortable stalls; ami ip by an engine. Snow anti ice were everywhere this July e a masterpiece, fading rapidly from view. The high-sounding title. Consul at .Milan, is now borne by a gentleman wiio has many friends in Maine, Mr. James Dunning. The heat arnf dust of an Italian city in midsummer was not sufficient to change his genial person ality, and his welcome was just as breezy as his newspaper stories used to be in the days when his writings were so much enjoyed by readers of tne State press, and later, of the i magazines. Over an almost-English i cup of tea, (for we came from a pro- liibition State) the delights—and oth erwise—of foreign, official life were discussed with Mr. and Mrs. Dun- i ning, who, like all sensible people, say they are coming back to Maine to live i some time. Mr. Dunning finds many 1 features of Italian life to interest him ir. this Lombard city of Milano. s Wo had been •'doing" the famous piazza of St. Mark’s in Venice and were standing out of the glare of the sun, rioar the place where the bronze men strike the hour with their ham mers. Two Americans came up be- hind us. They were facing the Pal ace of the Doges, whose walls, could they speak, would relate wonderful 1 tales of bygone seheming and cruelty which would make cur most unscrupu- 1 lous modern politician seem lik,e a Sunday-school scholar. Nearby the 1 wonderful church of St. Mark's, with its much traveled horses, the only 1 horses, save one (and that, also, for ornament) in the city of gondolas. On either side of the square, the arcades, where, at the usual small tables, were seated, eating, drinking, smoking, writ- iivg letters or talking, men from all parts of the world-- a kind of open-air, cosmopolitan club, behind the brown j curtains, which shut out the heat. The most fascinating place on the conti nent to study faces and nationalities. The little shops, with iheir heads, j trinkets and bright pictures are here, f also. As we stood, day dreaming on past and present scenes enacted in this place, the voiea of one of our country- men reached our ears: “What did the j guide feller tells us that was’" he said. in bewilderment, pointing to the Doges’ Palace, which seemed lo stiffen at the question. The other well-fed brother. in eoual uncertainty, removing his tootlipick from his mouth, and pushing hark his panama hat. shook his head, and answered dubiously: “Search me!'’ And they strolled over toward the firand Canal, where the gondoliers lazily wait for a fare, and beg for a “birra” tip. To many of us. Venice was the city mad known 'ey Ilopktnsoa Smith. Everywhere his delightfully artistic descriptions of “the water-legged town” were brought to mind and one day, seeing a gentleman who resem bled hint in a gondola, and knowing he was somewhere in Europe, it rather pleased my fancy to think I had rcen him in the environment which he loves. This city, built on numerous islands— one hundred and seventeen, to be ex act—and intersected by over a hun dred and fifty canals, has become in our minds a water color in a gilt frame. And so it is—dreamy, unique, flooded with color, in the tints of the palaces, golden brown of the awnings and drooping sails which are every where oil the larger canals, in the oleanders growing in the gardens, in the reflection of the sky, which blend ing of shades conies to you more and more, as you lounge in a lightly-mov ing gondola an 1 let the whole picture mirror itself in your memory, so you have only to se your eyes to see it all again. We went to the evening celebration of the great Festa del Redentore, which is a kind of Thanksgiving day. and commemorates each year the cessation of the plague long ago. There is a religions service the next Sunday morning, with processions of priests in gorgeous robes, and an elaborate mass, with grand music. Preparations had been going on for this event some time. A bridge of boats had been construct ed for the people to cross to the island of Guideeca, to see the fireworks. There are narrow little streets in this strange city, there are bridges across some of the canals, but none to the j church of Redentore, hence this pon- toon arrangement. The palaces and houses have entrances opening on the Where there are “hitching nr„r poleH, decorated in ancestral POlon, fur the water carriages. There it of United States ragtime music •°U,f the smaller canals, going mar the louses where mirth and exclamations old of a gay time, then silently creep ng along the darkness of a deserted luurtor. and out into the Grand Canal. >ast the hotels, where crowds were fathered to watch the gliding, lantern rimmed gondolas, and the merry-mak and till-early-morning affair, anil echoes came to ns till the light of dawn appeared, as the Italians and others sang and celebrated, because the plague was no more. In contrast to this night on which revelry was abroad, an evening, when, from a gondola far out in the wide lagoon, we watched the sun going down. A Venetian sunset! What brush or pen ran make us see it as it really is? rite blaze of colors which illumined the sky and refected in the still water, were gorgeous at first, then gently 'hanging from shade to shade till only the soft, delicate suggestion of past splendor was spreading over the pal tees, touching the domes of the churches, and leaving the quietness and beauty of this former Queen of the Adriatic to give us the message which it must hold for all who truly seek for it. We saw where Turner got his wealth of color, which had seemed so extrava gant in London, and later on, caught tome of the shadows and wavering lines which Whistler has reproduced More than ever we felt that it is in such moments we get to understand the true charm of a city, or of an individua if we find at these times naught but tounding brass and a tinkling cymba inly fireworks to dazzle us in either, there is no lasting memory, onl> •u burned-out sticks which splash in ae vater and float away, forgotten. f we do find something which aPP'’^ :n our higher nature, something beau Ttl of real worth, then we ha\e n* tought in vain, and we can never irely forget.
