It was early Thursday evening that .Mrs. Cleaves answered a summons to the door. There stood a well dressed man of good appearance, who asked her to step on to the piazza a moment. She did so, and the man in a mysteri ous voice told her that be was from Washington and bore important tid ings. She subsequently recognized hint as a man who had recently hired a nearby cottage. “You must not lisp a word of what I teH you to any man, woman or child,” lie cautioned her. She prom ised not to do. “You don't sell liquor do you?" was tlie next question of tho queer acting individual. “Of course 1 don't,” exclaimed Mrs. Cleaves with much spirit, “what made you think so?” The visitor allowed that he didn't suppose that she did sell liquor, and then asked her to go to the corner of the piazza, where lie claimed he would tell her something of great importance. When he reached the corner or the piazza lie drew a big revolver from bis hip pocket and pushing it into the face of tii>' now thoroughly frightened wo man. lie warned her not to sav a word to any one of the interview. Then he floiirshod the pistol in her face and in a whisper said: “You know what this means." He then asked her to meet him on the piazza the following night at 0 o'clock. Then lie pointed tho revolver at her. and in a stage whisper uttered the words: "You know what this means if you don't.” With this warning the crazy man. b r such lie is believed to be, leaned over (lie rail of the veranda and dis appeared into the woods. Ity tills time Mrs. Cleaves was In a hysterical state and made her way in to the cottage, where after a time she told of the visit of the strange man. FIRES AT BUCKSPORT.

Me., July 12.—The large wooden building at Sandy Point with out buildings, known as the Hersey Retreat, was burned this afternoon with a loss of $5000, insured. Cause unknown. The place was given to the Universalist parish of Bangor by the late General Samuel F. Hersey who also left a fund providing free summer outings there for tlie people of the par ish. Alton T. Lockhart has resigned as sub-master of the Kdward Little High school at Auburn to accept a position as instructor in physics and chemistry at Coburn Classical Institute. Mr. Lockhart was well liked by the Au burn school board and was re-elected for the coming year at an increased salary. SETTLEMENT IS THREATENED. feeigrade, Me., July 12.—(Special).— A lire in the woods oil the shore of Long pond, opposite the Belgrade ho tel, alter reducing the cottage of Mrs. Spaulding of Boston to a blackened heap of smouldering ruins, is rapidly working towards the settlement of summer cottages on the shores of Great pond and it is feared that these will be burned before the progress of the tlames, which are fanned by a stiff breeze, can be stayed. Mrs. Spaulding’s cottage was valued at ?soon. As soon as the lire was discovered the alarm was spread and men, wo men and even the older children joined together with every means at their command to tight the tlames and if possible extinguish them before any buildings were burned. Everything in tlie vicinity was dry as tinder and al most before the tlames had gained suf ficient headway to make the situation serious the report had spread for miles that it was beyond control and that the thickly settled village of summer residences on the bank of Great pond were threatened. Everybody in the vicinity, as well as the farmers and workmen from miles around flocked to the scene of tlie fire to join in the fight against it. Almost before the first of the volun teers arrived the dry underbrush was burning rapidly, the crackling of the flames being perceptible for some dis tance from the fire itself. The green wood gave a dense black smoke, which rolled in thick clouds above the tree tops and then floated away on the air. The volunteer firefighters worked like demons to get tlie blaze under control and are still tit it. Despite the intense heat they struggled on, al (Continued on Page Ten.) IT IS ENCOURAGING. Much Better Feeling In the Securities Market. Good Prospects Ahead In Busi ness and Industrial Lines. Trade Reviving and Manufacturers Receiving Orders. New York. July 12.—Lust week’s se curity market gave a clear reflection of the determination arrived at by an effective; number of stock market par ticipants to throw off the waiting at titude maintained for some time past and to act on their conviction that bet ter tilings were in prospect for bus iness and industry. In contrast with the absolute stagnation into which the market had fallen by the close of the preceding week, there sprang up a de gree of animation not equalled before since the early period of June, the av erage daily transactions rising well over 500,000 shares. There was expan sion. also, in* the bond division and a. growing demand in that department which is most encouraging. Tlie assurance of abundant supplies of hanking resources throughout the year, the promise of crop yields above the average for recent years and the approaching termination of the ses sions of the Democratic National con vention were the main factors in stim ulating the new speculative departure. The naming of the candidates of the two great political parties and the defining of the issues on which the campaign is to be fought were accept ed as steps towards knowledge on which to base the estimate of the out come and were acted upon in this light. The piling up of loanable funds in banking reserves and the resulting pressure to find profitable employment for these sums have an almost infalli ble effect in opening up a demand for well-secured bonds and dividend pay ing stocks. Great importance was attached to the symptoms last week of reviving trade. The most striking of these were reported from the steel trade, where resumptions on a large scale of oper ations in the steel mills in the Pitts burg district were chronicled, with re newal of employment for thousands of laborers who had been idle and with Goutiruled on Page Two.) THREE LIVES LOST By the Upsetting of a Boat Near Danforth. Charles Blackmon With Dif ficulty Saves Other Three. Drowned Children His Own*»AII The Bodies Recovered. Danforth, Mo., July 12.—Throe chil dren were drowned Saturday by the capsizing of a rowboat and three were rescued with great difficulty by Charles Black more, the father ot live of them. Mr. Blackmore took the six little ones out on Hot Brook lake, a small body of water two miles outside Dan forth, and they had been enjoying the fishing. When the time arrived to start for home, in pulling up the an chor, the boat was upset in some man ner and all were thrown into the lake. Four of the children managed, with the assistance of their father and each other, to re-enter the boat, but in the excitement one of them, a boy, was drowned in the water with which the eralt was filled. The bodies of the other two were recovered, as the water was not deep and they were only a short distance from shore. The victims were two boys, aged 6 and 10, and one girl, aged 12. Their names were not given. DROWNED AT PORTLAND. Young Man Loses Life Swimming At Portland. Portland, Me., July 12.—A young man, aged about 10, supposed to be George E.

EFFECT ON THE BLOOD Of Arctic Climate to Be Observed In Cases of Peary’s Crew. Halifax, N. S., July 12.—Intending t» conduct experiments on. the crew of the Peary Arctic steamer Roosevelt to learn what effect a frigid climate will have on tin- blood. Dr. George Randall of Lovell arrived here tonight and will go to Syd ney tomorrow to conduct the experi ments. Microscopic tests will be made of the corpuscles of the blood of the various members of the crew before they sail and further tests will be made on their return from the Arctic and comparisons of tho two will then be made. Similar tests have been made in tropica! countries, and the idea of the present test is to ae* certain what change the Arctic has wrought in the blood corpuscles in the white race. Phil Brock and Frank Carsey have been matched to box at Jim Jeffries' club July 17. THE WEATHER. FAIR—COOLER.

Prominent Summer Residents of Marion and Fal mouth, Mass., Lose Their Lives—Two Others Stay In Water All Night Before Help Comes. Marion, Mass., July 12.—Four prom- inent summer residents of this town t and Falmouth were lost in the explo- sion on board a 45-foot launch off here 1 last night and two others were picked up today, after having been in the water for 12 hours. The dead: i Roland Worthington, Boston. i John T. Trull, Woburn. Joseph Beal, Milton. Georg- Savory, Marblehead. I The saved: A, P. Tarbell, Marble- head. Edward E. Pecker, 21 Milk street, Boston. Mr. Tarbell and Mr. Pecker were 1 picked up after being in the water 12 hours. Mr. Pecker was clinging to an oar and Mr. Tarbell was supported by a life preserver. Both had been aide to swim and had remained together supporting each other through the try ing hours, waiting for rescue. The rescue was effected by Frank Bowman of Mattapoisctt, a lobster fisherman going out in the early morn ing to haul his pots. His boat was seen by the two struggling men in the wa ter ng before the fisherman himself could make them out and it was not until Bowman heard feeble cries for help coming across the water that he spied the nearly exhausted swimmers and picked them up. In a few words they told their story. An explosion had occurred on board their boat, they did not know from what cause. One of the party had been blown several feet into the air and was probably dead when he struck the water. The boat had caught fire imme diately and Tarbell called to his com rades to. leap into the water. He strapped a life preserver about him before he leaped, and Mr. Pecker, who is connected with the Boston banking firm of Rollins Son on State street, seized an oar and followed. So far as Mr. Tarbell knows none of the others in the party followed. Either they could not swim and pre ferred to cling to the disabled launch until help came or else they were stunned by the explosion. Both Tarbell and Pecker remained in the vicinity of the launch for sev eral moments, urging their comrades to jump into the water with a cushion, oar, lii'e preserver, or something, for the launch was burning rapidly. One man, believed to be Roland 'Worth ington, a well-known business man of Boston, was seen clinging to the s'lde of the launch, but he could rot swim and there was nothing nearby to grasp to support himself away from the launch. Gradually the launch drifted away further out to sea and Mr. Pecker and Mr. Tarbell were forced to give up hopes of doing anything to aid their comrades. Wl^h a last shout of encouragement to their friends, they turned landward and struck out with slow strokes so as to husband their strength as much as possible. In the hopes of attracting some ailing party from nearby resorts or some belated fisherman they shouted at regular in tervals. The sun sank with no sail in sight and with the (lames of the burning launch Dolphin apparently unnoticed. Soon the two swimmers lost all trace of the launch and concluded that she burned to the water's edge and sank with all on board. Through the long hours of the night thi> two men floated, sometimes swim ming so as to keep up their circula tion and sometimes drifting, to rest. They had plunged into the water at about 6.30 and at sunrise were still drigting without help in sight. It was not until 6.30 this morning that Bow man heard their shouts from the water and took them aboard his boat and brought them ashore at this town, when the first news of the accident reached land. News of tiie disaster spread rapidly and nearly every summer resident and fisherman who owned a yacht or launch went out in the bay to search for some trace of the boat or its occu pants. Word was also sent to Fal mouth and Wood's Hole and other points along the bay to keep a sharp lookout for some possible survivors or any bodies. '"h- ccnroti —roved fruitless. JTho launch undoubtedly sank and all l ua occupants who had not been killed *>v the explosion, were probably drowned. Late* in the day the tender of the Dolphin was seen off the shore of East Marion by Miss Crossett, daughter of Lewis Crossett, the well-known shoe manufacturer of Boston and Rock land. The tender was brought ashore, but contained nothing to indicate that any of the occupants of the launch had been able to board it. With the exception of Mr. Pecker, none of the occupants of the launch stopped at this town. Mr. Worthing ton was spending the summer with his family at Falmouth and most of the others had acccepted Mr. Tarbell’s invitation for a launching party, starting from Falmouth yesterday. Both Mr. Tarbell and Mr. Pecker fere resting at the Hotel Sippiean i luring the day, recovering from the fleets of their experience. Neither suf ered much physically, as the waters if Buzzards bay are warm, but both vere prostrated for several hours from i lie shock of the loss of four of their ntimate friends. Mr. Tarbcll said that the Dolphin vas practically a new boat and had icen inspected tint a few days ago and tronounec-d in good condition, lie annot account for the accident. The party had picked tip Mr. Worth ngtor at Falmouth yesterday and had Tossed tin1 hay to this town, where hey spent a few hours. Late in the tfternoon they put out for a run icross to Wood’s Hole and into Vine ard sound with the intention of re aming here today. As near as can be earned tlie boat had run about two birds of the way across the bay when he explosion occurred. Owing to the iocial and financial standing of tile lien the accident cast a deep shadow >ver the merry-making of the stun ner colony till along the bay. Mr. Tarbcll, the owner of the Dol ;hin. lives at 31 Brimmer street, Bos on, and has a summer residence at darblehead Neck. Mr. Trull, who was fill years old, was veil known in Boston merehantile cir cles and had a place of business at fis Jhauncey street. He lived in Woburn jut spent his summers in Falmouth.

X have 100 dogs and as many more as I desire, with 15 of the best men of the tribe assembled here for tho attack over the new route across Ellsmere Land out by way of Nansen sound and back by Kennedy channel, thus using to good advantage the drift and the musk oxen so abundant in Ellsmere Land. “All of my equipment is ready and we hope to start for tho goal late in Jan uary. With men and dogs well fed, and under normal conditions, like my prede cessors, I feel confident, fis our equip ment means perfection. When we return we will push southward at once to Cape York and Upernlvik.” Dr. Cook, accompanied by John R. Bradley and a number of Eskimos, left North Sydney. N.

Fu' kenfcerger, for a number of years manager of the Rochester Kast ern League club, lias severed his con nection with the Bronchos. He was formerly manager of the Boston Na tionals. Clark Griffith for once is a happy man. All worries are off his should ers. and for the first lime in 2b sum mers In' is taking tilings easy. By tile way, Griffith holds the second best pitching record lor a season in the history of baseball. In 1901 he won SI games and had a pitching percentage of .771. Hughey Jennings, the ginger fizz pi lot of the Detroit Tigers, after his exhibition game with Buffalo the other day. said the Eastern League chani pionshin race would have Providence and Buffalo as the leading contend ers. The New York American League club lias asked waivers on Pitcher Doc" Newton. This means that New ton's work with th- is being given doz ens of starts daily in the Stadium. Starting lias been bis weak point. It cost him *he race at the American Olympic tryouts in Philadelphia. Mur phy thinks that if Rector can get off on even terms with the others in the final, and the trainer has not the slightest doubt that Rector will get in the final, lie will equal or beat the Olymoio record. Again, Murphy is a great specialist and thinks one dis tance is sufficient for a sprinter, to train for on an important occasion. Rector wilt not start in the 200-metre contest. Dan Keltv, who holds the world’s record of n 2-r> seconds for 100-yards, is only being trained for the broad jump.

July 12.--In the play lor the Welsh championship in tennis lien. Saturday. Wylie (irant, the American expert, created a sensation by withdrawing suddenly after lie had win liia wav to the semi-finals for the open championship in singles. Grant should have played A. F. Wilding in tile third round on Friday, litu the lat ter was absent, and it was planned to play that series Saturday. As this was the last day of the tournament, however, it would have been necessary for tlie winner of the Grant-Wilding match to play the finals also and Grant protested against any arrange ment which made it necessary for t*. player to play two series on the same day. His protest was not allowed, and he therefore withdrew on principle, thus forfeiting the game to Wilding. Wilding thereupon played the finals out with Boncher and lost, 3 to 2. Boucher, therefore, won the champion ship. Eddie Walsh, the amateur boxer who appeared in the national tournament and made good, is following up his good work in the pro ranks. Walsh meets Bam my Smith, the clever Phil adelphia hoxer. for a six-round bout at New York next Wednesday night. AMERICA WINS BIG RIFLE MATCH.

July 12.—Wearied and disgusted with the many, many incon sistencies of the tight game as it is plaved in these days, Big Jeffries lias just about decided to sever all active connection with the ring, limiting his appearance in the capacity of a referee to one or two star engagements a year. This decision cannot lie traced to the recent McFarland- Welch affair, al though this event had a marked bear ing on the ease. Jeffries announced recently that he would go to Ban Francisco on Labor day to referee the Abe Attell-Owen Moran featherweight championship light before Jim Coffroth's club. “The fighters of today don't fight as they should,” said Jim. “Instead of going m and trying to win as quickly as their ability will permit they fight only with 111aseball, from $18,691 to $20,243; track ithletics, from $12,653 to $13,495, and owing, from $15,193 to $16,367. For the year in question the balance licet shows a decreased profit because he Harvard football game was played n Cambridge. The reserve fund now .mounts to $113,429. Of the sports, the noney maker is football, for the re reipts Irom this sport was $84,151 and the expenses $41,251; baseball took in $25,054 and paid out $20,043. The two other major sports, rowing' and track athletics, show a loss as usual, the boat club collecting $2525, while its expenses were $10,367, and track athletics took in $1S55 and cost $13,495. Yale’s share of the receipts of th" Harvard game last year was $33. 645, from the Princeton game $22,506. The biggest item of expense chargeable against football was $13,051 for repairs, etc., on the field stands. The total receipts for the year were $93,568, as compared with $106,219 the previous year. “Big Jack" Cronin pitched for Provi dence against Jersey City Thursday. After the game Cronin was mobbed by the fans for spiking Umpire McTague after the latter had called him out in the ninth inning for failing to touch first base on a hit to left field. Cronin abused the umpire and then deliberate ly spiked him in the leg. The pitcher’s iirutal act aroused the anger of the spectators. They rushed on the field find surrounded Cronin, several fans hitting him in the face. The police =aved the big pitcher from a severe trouncing by escorting him from the Held. 1 SMELTERS latest Market Letter, now ready fer de livery. is devoted to Smelters, Union Pa cific. 1 .tltimore Ohio, Locomotive and Pennsylvania. people who have followed our advice on Smelters* ami Union Pst rifle in the lost two months have made some big profits, pc sure and have our letter as loir' as the activity it the market (,on tinuos.

Rockefeller's latest distinc tion is the possession of a grandson born in Maine. Johnson did not get the nomination, but lie is .fust as near the presidency as Rryan will ever get. It is not to be denied that William and James are the popular names in the national campaign. "All aboard for the Rryan band wagon-!'' shouts a Democratic editor. The bandwagon! Nay, the Rryan hearse! Tile four-leaved clover which Quentin Roosevelt gave Peary is up against a pretty hard test as a good luck emblem. President Castro showed poor judg ment in throwing his tit just when everybody was watching the antics of the Democratic donkey at Denver. The Bryan and Kern pill is a hitter one for the Watervllle Sentinel and the Portland Argus and it is pitiful to watch .their attempts to look pleasant while swallowing it. Of lire Maine delegates at Denver 10 voted for Rryan while one voted for Johnson and one refused lo vote at all. No doubt Hie latter two reflected the sentiments of those who sent the 111 to the convention. The mystery of a gnawing pain which if Pennsylvania boy bad long suffered was explained when an opera tion was performed and two small teeth, which lie had swallowed when a child, were found in his appendix. Over in New Hampshire the drouth Is so severe that the _ Manchester Union wants the board of agriculture to induce the governor to appoint a day for prayer for rain. The oldest Inhabitant lias not cited an occasion of more serious drouth eondtlons, and tilings are fully ns bad in this State as In New Hampshire. The nomination of John W. Kern of Indiana on Hie ticket with Rryan in an attempt to win electoral votes in the middle West is something very funny. Twice he has run for gov ernor of Indiana and once for the United States ^Senate from that state, and each time was overwhelmingly defeated. His record of public ser vice consists in work as city solicitor of Indianapolis when Tom Taggert was mayor and in two terms in the Indiana legislature. And this is the man whom the Democrats expect to carry Indiana and the neighboring states for Bryan! ____ iraaa hht tar Campaign Fund Publicity. Performance speaks louder than promise. The action of George R. Sheldon of New York, the newly elected treasurer of the Republican national committee, in declaring that he will act under the New York law requiring reports of campaign re ceipts and expenditures is much more eloquent than the plank in the Den ver platform calling for campaign fund publicity. If the Democrats ex pected to find an “issue” in the matter of campaign fund publicity they have found their guns spiked very early i:i the battle. It was in connection with this same subject that Mr. Taft performed the supposedly impossible feat of making Mr. Rryan to shut up like a clam a few months ago. Mr. Bryan with great cunning wrote to Mt. Taft that he thought the “two leading candi dates” ought to help push the cam paign expenditures publicity bill then before the House of Representatives. Mr. Taft instantly replied to Mr. Bryan enclosing a copy of a message he had long before sent to the chair man of the committee in charge of the bill, urging its advancement and pas sage. Mr. Taft had done this with out any noise or posing; and the revelation so completely cut the ground from under Mr. Bryan’s feet that nothing more has been heard from him on the subject. The bill, by the way, was passed by the Republican majority, the Democratic minority in the House voting against it; but it failed to get through the Senate against the Democratic opposition. Then when the Republican conven tion at Chicago failed to put a cam paign fund publicity plank into its platform, Bryan thought he saw another glorious opportunity and or dered one inserted in the Denver plat for. Now comes Treasurer Sheldon of the Republican national committee with the declaration that there is to be complete publicity—publicity as to who contributes and publicity as to expenditure. Judge Taft thus early shows his quality. He is not satisfied with mere talk. He acts. What will Bryan and his treasurer do? By the way, Bryan has not yet found time to tell the public how the $-’5,00(1 was spent which was sent to Ne braska by the predatory corporation managers of New York two years ago to help along bis campaign for the Senate. When he gives the par ticulars of that deal his Denver pub liiity plank will begin to mean some thing. Heflin’s Modest Tribute. One uf the speakers at Denver sec onding Bryan’s nomination was made by Congressman ifeflin of Alabama. Now Congressman Heflin is one oi‘ the great men of hi.s party, owing his dis tinction chiefly to his gun play on a nigger in a Washington street car last winter, end to his vigorously expressed wish that somebody had exploded a bomb under the table when President Roosevelt and Booker Washington were dining together. Yet with these claims for fame, his fellow delegates used him shamefully when lie arose in their miJst in the early hours of last Friday morning to make the great ora torical effort of his life. The delegates wanted to get to bed. They were tired of impassioned eloquence, even impas sioned eloquence with the Peerless One as its theme, and so they hissed and hooted Ilotlin and finally forced him to cut short his speech amid gr at con fusion. Rut they did not know what they were missing. Probably they found out when they read the Denver newspapers the next day and saw the classic speech they had deprived them selves of hearing. Here is a sample of it, just a mild sample of the modest tribute to Bryan which Bryan's per sonally conducted convention rudely refused to listen to: ‘‘As a patriot no man ever had a deep er or more exalted love for his coun try than has this Peerless Democrat for the American Republic. As a teacher of civics the world has not seen his equal since Jefferson whote and spoke. As a defender of justice lie ranks among the world's bravest and best. As an advocate of popular rights he is the ablest and most fear less of American citizens. As a statesman he resembles a tower seen afar off and under a clear sky rising in grandeur and sublimity at every step of approach. As an orator I'ieero would have been delighted with 'ids diction, Demosthenes would have been charmed with his forceful sentences, David O'Connell would have applauded his fervid eloquence and Daniel Webster would have been inspired by his powerful, convincing logic. "He is to tlie tariff robbed and trust ridden masses of America what Mira beau was to the downtrodden of France. He is to the enemies of equal rights in this country what Daniel O'Connell was to the oppressors of Ireland. He has given expression to more groat thoughts and lead more people to higher ground than any oth r American. He is the intellectual giant of the United States. He is less misunderstood and more misrepre sented titan any other statesman in our history. So frank and fair and fearless that he cannot be misunder stood--si true is lie and so uncom promisingly just that his political op ponents and the great trust controlled dailies dare not play fair or fight him in the open. Statesmen, world diplo mats and kings have paid him tribute. At the international Peace Conference in Hendon five hundred representatives from twenty-six of the greatest na tions on the globe in council assembled requested his assistance that they might profit by his wisdom concerning arbitration, and his words upon that occasion and on that subject have be come international law. If I could SiHi: speak u thousand tongues and coult command tlic eloquence of the world’s best I could not express the unselfish ness of his life nor the power of his genius—the charm of his eloquence is his sincerity—its strength is his mora courage, lie is the Thomas Jeffersor of a new declaration—a declaration oi independence from the tyranny ol combines and trusts. He is the Patrick Henry- of a new revolution—a revolu tion in civic affairs that means the overflow of plutocracy and the restora tion of the ark of our civic covenant to the friends of constitutional govern ment. He is the George Washington who will It ad our righteous cause to victory in November.” Bryan says, referring to his nomina tion for the Presidency, "I appreciate the honor the more because it came not from one person, or a few persons, but from the rank and file, acting free ly and without compulsion.” How about the extra heavy steam roller proceedings by which certain delega tions which could not be cajoled were unceremoniously crushed and their re trains thrown out of the convention? That assemblage of Democrats at Denver certainly looked as though it had been fixed up to suit the in dividual tastes of Bryan, and to carry out the plans of his personal machine, instead of representing, as it was supposed to, the sad remnant of a once great Democracy. ‘‘From the rank and file, acting freely and with out compulsion.” Hats! Fudge! And likewise, pi'He! Among the prominent Democrats who have already bolted the Bryan and Kern ticket and declared them selves for Taft and Sherman are a con gressman in New Jersey, a Parker presidential elector in Rhode Island and a former United States senator from an eastern state. The list will lengthen every day. Speaking of the S7 minutes of arti ficial hullabaloo which greeted Bryan’s name at the Denver conven tion, the Boston Herald says: “It was entirely fitting that the Bryan ites should make the most noise, anti make it for a longer time than any other noise. Bryanism is noise; de prive it of its noise, its noisy' prom ises, its voluble pretentiousness, and untiling would be left.” Upon the kitchen table, with her work umlnished yet. Sat Sarah Ann, intent upon a thrilling novelette. The baker and the grocer’s man knocked loudly, but in vain: Then kicked the paint till off the door, and went away again. The lire went out, the light grew dim. but Sarah Ann read on, Intent upon the fortunes of Land Alger non Uitzjohn, Whose proud and wealthy father design ed his son and heir For the beauty of the season, the I .a dy Maud de Vcre. She loved him, but bold Algernon, much to his pa’s distress. Disliked the Daily Maud, and loved a modest governess. She came to where the beauty accident ally o’erhears The willful lord proposing to the govern ess. who fears She’s unworthy of the honor, but she loves him as her life, And will do her very best to make a true it nil worthy w ife. She still reads on, and as she neared the bottom of the page She learned how Daily Aland became con vulsed with jealous rage. Forgot herself, and. maddened by the sounds of rapt nous kissing. Sprang forward—Sarah turned the leaf— the other page was missing! —London Tit-Bits. The Sunday excursion season starts oft' well. Slim congregations in the churches that remain open. There is a full moon tonight and possibly the change will bring that rain. The Kennebec baseball fans re luctantly admit that there will be no Trolley league until 1909. In a week more the (Hidden tourists in 100 devil wagons will smother Maine in a cloud of dust. The Maine Democrats are succeed ing bravely in suppressing any demonstration of the great joy which wells up within them over the nomi nation of Bryan. Tew men can beat the record of CJreen McKay of Kowdoinham who for 44 years lias hoen in the constant employ of the Maine Central rail road. He has been a capable and elli cient servant of the company almost half a century. Joseph Darling of New Orleans who arrived at Squirrel Island last week lor the summer made the trip from Philadelphia to Bath by trolley. He covered the route in five days and the ear fare was $7.Ik. lie was so pleased with this way of travel that he will return the same way. In the list of the Brunswick tax payers for 1908 the largest is the Cabot Manufacturing Company with a tax of $10,080. The largest individual taxpayer in town is Gardner Cram who pays $.790. The list shows that the total tax paid by the eight. Bow doin College fraternities upon their chapter houses is over $1500, ranging from $275 to $125. These houses have all been built within a decade and there lias been some question if they are not property exempt from taxa tion. Orin Parker, who left the town of Jay more than 40 years ago to carve out his own fortune in distant states, is a welcome guest at the home of Willard Carver in Auburn. As Mr. Carver sat on his veranda smoking, a stranger saluted him and inquired if his name was Carver. A running con versation of a few moments disclosed the fact that the stranger was none other than his own cousin, Mr. Parker, w ho is settled in Tacoma, Wash. Mr. Parker paid a visit to his aunt, Mrs. Ann Stevens, in Auburn. This lady is now 88 years and bright as a dollar. It is not to be wondered at that siie did not quite recognize her nephew, but when told who it was, the past returned and she told him lots of stories ot his childhood days. It was a delightful visit. D. W. Haines last week found qn his farm in Fort Fairfield a watch, which he brought to A. F. Goodhue, the Fort Fairfield jeweler, for inspec tion. Mr. Goodhue wound the watch, and it is now running all right, al though no cleaning or other work has yet been done to it. Investigation showed tlie initials "E. W. T.” en graved upon the back. A further looking up showed that 24 years ago. Mr. Goodhue sold the watch to Ed ward W. True, the well known Fort Fairfield hunter and trapper. Some years afterwards he gave the watch to ilia son Eddie, who lost it while hunt ing in the woods on Mr. Haines’ farms 14 years ago. The watch is a Seth Thomas, No. 202,127. The case is an American Waltham coin-silver case, No. 812, patented April 22, 1871). It lias a solid back, screw bezel and screw crown. The crystal was broken and both hands rusted off, but other wise the watch appears in as good condition as the day it was sold. If the watch had been a 14-year wind instead of only a 20 hour wind, it would doubtless have been going when found. A watch ttiat can bear such usage and come out so bright can hardly be regarded as a very delicati instrument. MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT. No Cause for Fear. (Portland Express.) “No man who wants good govern ment in Maine need fear the success of Democracy," explains a Democratic organ. True enough. There is no dan ger. The friends of good government in Maine are going to vote the Repub lican ticket this year, and make sure that good government is achieved. A United Party. (Somerset Reporter.) Both the Republican press and the people at large have only the warmest wolds of commendation for Mr. Fer nald, tlie nominee for Governor, and willi those are mingled praises for the magnanimous action of Mr. Haines. Never before lias a party entered upon a campaign with more substantial hopes of success. It Isn’t the Moth. (Biddeford Journal.) Judging by the mass of misinforma tion that is being printed in connection with tiie browntail moth invasion, how the moths eat tlie foliage and cause an irritating rash on tlie human skin, there are many people who know much that is not so. The moths do not con sume tlie foliage nor do they cause tlie so-called “browntail itch.” It is in the caterpillar stage that tins pest gets in its work. Considerable Difference. (Portland Press.) One of the Denver correspondents, commenting on the Democratic plat form, said the difference between this and the Chicago platform was “not. wide.” But it is widt—as wide as the difference between protection and tar iff for revenue, between sound cur rency and greenbackism, between conservative progress and radicalism. If the painted face of Jefferson, which looked down upon the Denver convention, could have expressed emo tion, it must have worn a worried look and an expression of astonishment at tlie antics and sayings and doings of the party claiming him as its founder and quoting his maxims in its plat form. “Equal rights to all and special privileges to none,” it says in the language of Jefferson, and it proceeds to advocate certain special privileges Jefferson hell that the government was best that governed the least, but the platform goes contrary to this an-.l contemplates increasing ihe scope and activities of tlie government. U criti eisese the Republican party for extrav agance, and it lays out a scheme of internal improvements which would increase the expenditures: The Republican platform pronounces for a scientific currency system with every dollar based upon and ns good as gold. The Democratic platform pronounces for a currency issued by the government and loaned to tin banks, and for guarantee of deposits —one essentially greenbankism and the other tending to encourage un- i sound banking. The Democratic platform goes much farther than the Republican in the matter of regulating and restricting the issue of injunction writs, and it goes much farther in extending con trol over interstate commerce. The Republican platform proposes measures for the industrial and onm mereial benefit of the* Rhiiippin--s. The Democratic platform proposes to abandon the islands. The Democrats declare for an income tax and popular election of United States senators; for regulating tin rates and service of telegraph and tel ephone companies, for the exclusion of Asiatics, for the federal licensing of corporations. These specimens show that tlr-re is quite a difference. The Summer Visitors. (Brunswick Record.) ithiti tlie past two weeks many thousands of summer visitors have come to Maine, and more thousands are coming every day. They are wel come and we are delighted to see them lure. Tlie more tlie better, for Maine lias room for millions, even though hotel and cottage accommodations may at present be limited. Maine peo ple, and we include tlie great majority who have no direct financial in terest in tlie matter, are every year as much pleased to see the summer folks as they are to come to Maine. Brunswick while not distinctly a sum mer resort, entertains a great many guests at its shore places and is a cen ter to which the summer people of Harpswell frequently come. Almost every day during July and August we see a !of of visitors in town, some times large parties of them enjoy the interesting things to he seen in tlie College buildings, or stroll about Main street. They never fail to admire the Mall or express their approval of tlie generous width of our principal street. And on the other hand Brunswick people like to have them see the town ant) enjoy its advantages. Mark Our Word!

StATEJOUSE. Improvements at Gamp Gobb Nearly Completed. New Water Service Will Prove A Great Convenience. Railroad Commissioners to Hold Hearings This Week. i» STATE HOUSE CALENDAR. Ntxt Meeting of Governor and Council Thursday, July 30, at 10 A. M. When the men of the two regiments of the National Guard of the .State of Maine go into camp at Camp Cobb on Monday, Aug. 3, they will notice a number of improvements about the campground, noticeable among them being the provisions which have been made for furnishing the camp with a water supply for camp purposes. Heretofore during the encampment of the Guard on the hill all the water used in camp during the week or two which it was occupied had to be haul ed from the city in hogsheads, and as a large amount of watt r was used at such times I lie "water wagon” was one of the chief essentials of the camp. Mow, however, when the men arrive they will find that water and plenty of it is at hand for all their needs and that all they will have to do is to open a faucet and let the water run. This condition of affairs, which con stitutes an improvement that lias long been needed on the campground, lias been brought about under the direc tion of Adjutant General A. I!. Karn ham. Work was commenced last fall with the drilling of an artesian well, and will probably be completed this week with the connecting up of the pipe system and the turning on of the water. This pipe system is quite an elaborate one and contains about 15n of tin- work by July 15, and as everything is going along smoothly indications are that the system will tie completed in accordance witli the provisions of the contract. Provision for keeping the water in tin-, lank cool to a reasonable degree is made by sinking tin- tank in tin- earth, a hole ft Ret in depth having been dug for its reception, and the tank af ter having been placed In tlic hole cov ered to the depth of several foot with earth. A lavatory has been established at tin hospital and also one for tin. officers, near the lieadquart'-rs. Fau cets will l>e placed near the cook houses, one for every four of tin houses, and provisions will also 1m made for furnishing water to tin horses used during the encampment. In addition to the above quite an amount of other work is being done about the camp by way of preparation for the coming of the troops, in tin way of building closets, repairing headquarters, fixing the sinks, build ing tent Hours for both kinds of tents, etc., and two small buildings are also in process of construction, one over the pump, and another to he used as a power house, and which will contain the motor. As for the water which will furnish the camp supply, the quality is of the best. It is very clear and the analysis secured by Gen. Farnham from the t-kate Laboratory of Hygiene showed it to be in every way adapted to do mestic uses. Announcement was made at ttic* of fice of i lie Board of Railroad Com missioners Saturday tlial the board would be in session at its oilier in Ihe Stale House at In o'clock this forenoon f,*i* the purpose of holding a hearing on (lie petition of the Lewiston, Au gusta Waterville Street Railway, which asks the approval by tlic board ef Hie change of location of certain portions of the company's line of rail road in the city of Gardiner. >n Tues day the hoard will be at Unity for a MADE RIGHT. It Won the Banker. "At the age of seventeen I was thrown on my own resources,” writes the cashier of jl Western Hank “and being low in finances I lived at a cheap boarding house where they served black coffee throe times a day.

Heath is having a clay en'nis court built in the grove at the FINANCIAL FINANCIAL FINANCIAL FINANCIAL V it Boston-ldaho MiningCompany’sStock As a Safe, Profitable Investment VS. Stock-Jobbing Schemes and Schemers. Our attention has been railed to some stock-jobbing cheap advisers, wlio have been interviewing a num ber of the Boston-Idaho Mining's Company’s stockholders with a view to selling them some worthless ent ity, and in utter failure to do their shearing, offer up their 'heap advice by hoping that their listeners haven’t bought Boston-Idaho Mining Com pany's stock, saying it is a Wild Cat Scheme. For the benefit of such schemers and cheap advisers, and for the en lightenment of the investing public, we will lay wide open and bare just what kind of a Wild Cat Scheme Bos ton-Idaho Mining Company is, and let the conservative and shrewd investor pass judgment upon the worthiness, safety and profitableness of the in vestment. We are willing to even submit to tiie verdict of the stock-jobbing schemers, and cheap advisers, for they must either indorse the proposition, or show to the community in general that their judgment is limited to a narrow scope, or they have no respect for truth. The Kind of Wildcat Scheme Boston-Idaho Mining Company Is Boston-Idaho Mining Company owns and controls two producing mining properties, located in the well known rich mineral district of Warm Springs, Boyle Mountain, Blaine County, Idaho. Both of these mining prop erties have standing to their credit a most wonderful production of high grade ore. The properties are de veloped with a total of ten tunnels, aggregating something more than fo'-ty-tive hundred feet of tunnel work and cross cuts. •no of the properties, known as the lanky Boy, contains eight mining claims, namely, The Utah Lode Min ing Claim, The Lm-kv Boy Lode Min ing Claim, the Denver Lode Mining Claim, Hie Arizona Lode Mining Claim, The Readier Lode Mining Claim, The Montana Lode Mining claim, and the Colorado Lode Mining Claim. ’Che above property has two splendid tunnels, both in ore, one tunnel driven about ]!)0 feet above the other. From the upper tunnel to the lower tunnel, a distance about 100 feet, winze is sunk on the l"dge, and exposes to the. eye a solid ere body about 100 feet in depth, and 30 feet in width, with suf ficient drifting to determine by expert engineers ttn.it the ore body is con tinuous. Still further virgin ground lias been opened up, and another ledge exposed, carrying a five foot ore body. This property is well and favorably known ns the rieli Zinc Mine of Boyle Mountain. Prior to the Boston-Idaho Mining Company's securing tiiis prop erly it was worked under a short term lease. The lessees mined and shipped 2000 tens of high grade zine ore per month, on which they paid the owner a 40 per cent, royalty. A renewal of the lease would not be granted, and tin- Boston-Idaho Milling Company, after lengthy negotiations, secured the property. The Boston-Idaho Mining Company has sold the entire output of this mine for a period of five years on a very satisfactory contract, which gives to the company the benefits of any in eroase in price of spelter, shipments to commence July 2!)th at the rate of 1000 tons or more per month. We have claimed and still claim that tins 'ire will average above 10 ] f this ore is above $47.00 a ton at the present low price SARGENTVILLE. The flag and staff which the citizens of Sargentville have procured for J. It. Davis, D. D., of Philadelphia, and have erected at his summer cottage Mere formally presented on the after neon of July 4. About 125 people gath ered for the occasion. The presenta tion speech was made by Hon. H. W. Sargent anil Dr. Davies accepted it in a gracefully worded speech. Remarks appropriate to the occasion were made by Rev. C. C. Koch anil Rev. Arthur Wnrren Smith. Dr. and Mrs. Davies served lemonade and cake and each gt:e»t carried away a tiny flag as a souvenir of the occasion. Mrs. Emma Gray is visiting lu-r daughter, Mrs. Nettie Lane, in Port land. M. B. Gray of RreM'er is occupying his cottage here. Hugh Brown. Mho is employed on the Boston boat, passed the Fourth with his family. OMing to the dry weather haying is i week earlier than usual this year. of load-silver; the highest value above $150.00 a tun at the present price of lead-silver. Tlie average values show about JSS.OO a toil. 'J'o git our ores to the railroad they have to be hauled 12',0 miles over a good, automobile road. The cost of hauling the ore with the Company's own teams is a fraction less than $1.00 per ton, by contract, a little less than $1.00 per ton. The cost of min ing the ore averages $1.25 per ton. The- company has at the present time a; proximati iv 30,000 tens of milling ore on the dumps. The two properties combined consist of twenty claims, and are equipped with Miners’ Houses, two Hoarding Houses, Stables, Office, Storehouse, well supplied, Blacksmith Shops, Ore Cars, Tracks, Air Compressors, Ore Wagons, Horses, Miners' Tools, Steam Saw Mill. Powder Houses, and the 30 ton Mill about to lie replaced l>y a new 100-ton Mill. The Company owns its own water-right that at present has 1." horse power, sufficient power to run a 200-ton Mill. This water power cun, if necessary, be developed into more than 235 horse power. The properties carry on them fully 5,000,000 feet of splendid timber. A very large tier cent, of the timber will measure 3 feet in diameter. CAPITALIZATION. The Company is capitalized for only $009,000, tiar value of shares. One Dol lar each. No promotion stock. X'o watered capitalization No stock given for property. No stock given for services. The stock that is issued is sold for cash, and the cash is paid into the Treasury. Thus it is that the Iloston-ldaho Mining Company lias attained its present success. When the new 100-ton mill is in stalled and tramways constructed from the workings to the mill, doing away with the present system of team haul ing. the entire plant will then he com plete. These new improvements will lie completed tiy early fall. The Com pany will then have outstanding not more than 375,000 shares of its capital stock. There will lie left in its Treas ury fully 125,000 shares. The Company lias never allowed any debts to ac crue. Its bills are paid promptly on (lie 10th of each month, and its credit stands second to none. The new mill, and trains will lie paid for spot cash, the Company accepting the benctits of cash payments. The affairs of Boston-Iduho Mining Company are conducted on thorough business principles, such as a success ful business house would conduct its business. If the properties of the Boston Iduho Mining Company were in til 1 hands of promoting mining schemers il would have a capitalization of not less than $2,500,000 to $3,000,000 with perhaps fifty per cent, of its capitali zation in tlie Treasury, and the other fifty per cent, in the hands of the pro niofi rs. This very excessive capitali zation of mining companies is what reduces the dividends to investors, and spills disaster to most of such promoters. AVi’liin tlie last month we have claimed, and stilt claim that, in our firm and honest opinion, the Poston Idalio Mining Company, with its new 100-ton mill in operation, will earn an amount annually to warrant its pay ing ’HO per cent, dividends on ail tlie outstanding stock that the company will ever have (575.000 shales), and tie able to carry a good round surplus into its protect inn reserve fund. Tills firm opinion has been reached after a most thorough examination made of the properties and ore showings in tlie sev eral tunnels by two expert engineers during the early part of June in the presence of Mr. Diamond and an inter ested stockholder who accompanied him to the mines and who was present when the five year contract was made fur the output of tlie Ducky Hoy Mine. He was also present when Mr. Diamond, on behalf of the company, refused to contract the lead-silver ores, preferring to wait until the new mill is in operati n, so that intelligence it: making sm'li a contract could be duly i i t exorcised. In confirmation of our own opinion of what the company can earn with i•» <irc showings, we herewith publish a letter written by one of the experts i after liis careful examination of tho present mill, the several workings and ore showings. You will pardon us for withholding the name of the engi ncr from publication, as we, hereto fore. never intended to use the letter publicly. This letter can be seen at our ofllce by any one intenrsted. Chicago, June 12, 1908. Boston-Idaho Mining Co., Boston, Mass. (ieutlemen—On June 5th I made an examination of the present mill on your property for the purpose of mak ing such changes as are necessary. I found the mill to be a very unprofitable plant for such a property as you have. 1 also made a thorough examination of the property and ore body, and I can conservatively state that with the new 100-ton mill as contemplated by you your company will earn a net profit of $10,000 per month, with the ore show ing your property 1ms, independent of high grade shipping ore. Yours truly, (Signed! In further confirmation as to the do ings of Boston-Idaho Mining Com pany, we herewith publish an article appearing in the mining columns of the Boston Daily Herald of July 6th. IDAHO. Boise, July 5. It now looks as though tills would be the banner year for the old Min eral Hill mining district on Wood Diver. Properties that have been idle for years are being worked and development is going on in many places. Tito Boston Idaho lias add ed the Ducky Boy to its holdings, and is ii'nv building a large mill to treat tli" output on the ground. The North Star is also balding an up-to-date mill. The mine has a two years’ supply of ore in sight, and the Independence is only waiting for power io he supplied by the Cramer Electric power Company. The lino is now building and is expected to be coin pletcd in a week or two. The com pany tuts a large amount of ore blocked out. We believe we are now in a position to say with some surety that the Com pany will resume the payment of its dividends the latter part of Septem ber or early in October. Tills as sumption is based on the fact that ore shipments commence July 29th, in ac cordance with contract, at the rate of 1009 tons or more per month. Wo believe, and believe it sincerely. Hint from a dividend standpoint the stock of tho Boston-Idaho Mining Company, without manipulation or nraotices of deceit, will, within a rea sonable time look cheap to the in vi -dor a< *12.50 a share, for we are firmly convinced that, with its ore showings. Hie stock will yield an 8 per cent, per annum income at the above price within six months alter the new mill is installed. We advise every holder or Boston Idaho Mining Company's stock to hold fast to it. Do not part with it or ex ehatige it for any other stock unless such stock has a daily market quota lion of at least Ten or Twelve times as much as your Boston-Idaho has coat you. Now. Mr. Stork-Jobbing Schemer and Cheap Adviser, we have laid bare to the community in general just what kind of a Wild Cat Scheme Boston Idaho Mining Company is, and just what the stockholders of Boston Idaho Mining Company can reasonably expect. Now, Mr. Cheap Adviser and Stock Jobbing Schemer, learn that when thou sjieakest let thine words be words of truth and prosperity will then ca»t its shining star upon thee. L.

The largest party in the his tory of the school attended and it was indeed a joyful and happy occasion. •Not a cloud in the sky, hardly a ripple on the water and no accidents or un pleasantness to mar the day’s pleas ure. The party left Lewis' wharf about x.43, arriving in Stonington at 11.30. Here the picnic baskets were opened and lunch served, many happy little groups being made up and the lunch hour was a particularly happy one.

THOUSANDS FIGHTING FOREST FIRES ALL OVER THE STATE. SETTLEMENT IS THREATENED. (Continued from Page One.) S though the fire, fanned by quite a heavy breeze, swept on so rapidly that al) hope of extinguishing it was soon lost. It is estimated that the band of firemen numbers fully 350 persons and others are arriving at frequent inter vals. The fire soon got to the Spauld ing cottage, sparks wafted by the wind setting the building on fire, and It was in less than half an hour re duced from a handsome summer home, arranged with a special view to solid comfort, to a heap of ashes and smouldering timbers. If the fire reach es the settlement on the shores of Great pond the damage will be much greater. AT*”GORHAM, Farmhouse and Barn of Isaiah Cobb Burned—Loss About $3000. Portland, Me., July 11.—The farh house and barn of Isaiah W. Cobb at West Gorham were burned this after noon entailing a loss of $3000. The fire caught from sparks from the chimney. Mrs. Cobb was alone in the house at the time, but she summoned help by telephone. These is no water service in that part of Gorham and the farm ers formed a bucket brigade and fought the fire. Three other houses were endangered but were saved. AROUND BATH. Several Fires Raging—Sawyer’s Island Also Has One. Saco, Me., July 11.—The forest fires in Old Orchard and Saco, which started sometime Friday, burned all night but did little, damage, as the fire was con fined mostly to lots that had boon cut over. There was danger of the tiro burn ing up to barns and farm buildings, how ever, and it was doeined last to put a crew on to fight it, so a number of men were sent from Saco under ('apt. Virgin of the fire department. Five of these men remained on duty all night and kept the fire from spreading to places where it could do much damage. F. C. Dec ring the mill man, sent a crew to look aftei a timber lot owned by him on the Old Orchard side of Goose Fare brook, and they succeeded in keeping the flames from his let. The fire is not out yet and will be watched until all danger is passed. On the cleared lots the grass is very thick, consisting of what farmers call “rowel.” looking not unlike excelsior. The fire got into vegetation of this kind and ate down among the roots of the glass so that the fire fighters had to dig holes with their shovels till they came to cool earth on which to stand for a rest. The fire burned over practically the whole of a stripped lot belonging to Silas Milliken, of some 30 acres extent, and went through a large part of the territory between the Old Orchard road and the Ross road, just east of Ocean Park ave nue. BIG CREW WATCHING. Worst of Blaze Over Between Old Or chard and Saco. Alfred, Me., July 11.—The arrival of a special train bringing a large crew of volunteers to fight the big forest lire on the tract of land known as Alfred Gore undoubtedly saved valuable property here tonight. The fire is still burning at a ter rific rate but it was turned somewhat from its original course by the fire fight ers. It started near the portable saw mill of Fred S. Sherbourne of Sanford, de stroyed the mill and contents, valued at $3000, and sawed lumber worth $10,000. It is next to impossible to get near the fire, but there is a rumor here that tint mill of Lewis Trafton of Sanford has been destroyed. If this proves true there has been an additional loss of $4000. The greater part of the tract burned over was covered with second growth pine timber which was about ready to cut. It was owned by B. C. Jordan and his loss will be extremely heavy. Volunteers arrived from Shapleigli, North Shapleigli, West Newfield and Al fred during the afternoon and tonight an> other call for help was sent out, as the first crews are exhausted from their la bors. The sky is illuminated by the con flngration and there is much apprehensioi on the farms in tlie vicinity. FIRE SPREADING. Serious Condition Between Sanforc and Springvale—Heavy Loss. Sanford. Me., July 11.—The fores' fire between this village and Spring vale is spreading in both directions and the 250 men who are fighting ii seem to make no impression whatever The fire is within three-quarters of e mile of Springvale and within a milt of this town. A long narrow strip com prising over 1QO acres has been devas tated. All the men who would volun teer for duty have been pressed intc service. The plant of the Sanford Light Power Co., has been in serious dange throughout the afternoon and tonigh two double-tenement houses nearb; had a narrow escape. The woods con tain much valuable timber, the great er part of which is owned by Edwart Gowen and Moulton Brothers of San ford and the Conant heirs of Portland Six Hours Work Conquers This Fire. West Cumberland, Me., July 1.— Every available man in this section o: the town of Cumberland and man? from that village joined in fighting forest fire of unknown origin whicl raged for six hours around the Metho dist church today. The volunteer! from Cumberland Center brought ponj chemicals and trenching tools and at P. M. the lire was entirely out. AT GEORGETOWN. Nothing But a Heavy Rain Can Nov Extinguish the Fire. Bath, Me., July 11.—Many tires havi raged all about here today, especially ii the thickly wooded districts. At Cook'! Corner this afternoon a big tire was burn ing, but tonight is reported to he undci control, in West Bath, near Blind cross ing, fire started this noon, but was ex i tinguished in a few homs by the work' of a large number of men. Down at Sawyer's island, in Boothbay harbor, a big fire is under way tonight, but by tiie well directed efforts of the farmers and others who are watching the flames no immediate danger to real estate Is anticipated. It was learned tonight that the big firo on tiie island of Georgetown which broke out Thursday noon was caused by boys smoking cigarettes, and not line to the Morse portable mill, which was without water and shut down at the time. MILLS BURNED. Heavy Damage At Alfred Gore and Sanford—Volunteers Working. Georgetown, Me.. July 11.—The fire which started on this island last Thurs day still continues to burn and the resi dents of the island have given up all hopes of being able to extinguish the flames until they have a good rain. The fire tonight is near the southwest side of the island and also in the vicinity of Fivo islands, but is confined wholly to the wooded district, so that no real danger to property exists. Hundreds of men and boys are guard ing the property, however, and the crew is working in relays to give every man an opportunity to sleep, for after the vigil of 4S hours they are suffering from exhaustion. The more dangerous aspects of the fire have passed, unless there should be a sudden change of wind to drive it toward the cottage property at Five islands. A DANGEROUS TOY. Balloon Starts Fire of Serious Propor tions In Biddeford. Uiddeford, Me., July 11.—Residents of lower Biddeford are thinking of starting a crusade against lire bal loons. A few days ago one was sent up from the summer resort at Fortunes which threatened serious damage when it came down, by setting a lire that forced all the men in that locality to turn out and fight. Those balloons are about three foot In diameter. Tills one came down in dry woodland and set a fire that threatened several buildings. A large territory was burned over be fore the blaze was extinguished. NEAR BRUNSWICK. Bad Fire Near Cook’s Corner—May Have Been Incendiary. Brunswick, Me., July 11.—A large forest lire started on what is called the Board road, near Cook's corner, about two and one-half miles from the vil lage, this afternoon. The fire was dis covered by Alexander Shannon, Jr. Just as he discovered it young Shannon saw two men in a carriage ’drive rapidly away from the scene. Shannon was unable to make any fight against the flames and the tire spread rapidly. There was a strong soutli wind blowing, which made the tire burn rapidly toward Cook’s corner. The land in this region is very thickly covered with a young growth of spruce, which gave the fire fine material to feed upon. By hard work, Chief Colby of the Brunswick fire department, aided by a few men, soon had the worst of the fire under control, apparently, but as soon as they supposed they had the fire out they were confronted by a new and very grave danger from back fires which had been set by one of the forest wardens. After great difficulty these back fires were placed under control and ttie danger nearly overcome. The area covered this afternoon is about 200 acres, all of which is private wood land. Another Big One In Progress. Brunswick, Me., July 11.—(11.30 P. M ).—Fire of alarming proportions has just been discovered on the Bailey road, so called, between this town and Harpswell. Dense smoke is rolling up and the sky is alight with the re flection. A crew of men has left for the scene.

Portland, Me., July 12.—With a se ries of dangerous forest fires scattered all over the Maine coast from the York river to the Penobscot, and also many inland points, after a week of most strenuous efforts to place them under control the situation tonight was re garded as almost desperate. The heat of the last two weeks hat caused the undergrowth in the Maine forest to become dry as tinder and sparks from locomotives or from matches carelessly dropped by camp ers, have quickly started tires which in many instances have taken on the proportion of a conflagration. Thousands of acres of wood land have been burned over. The loss ol lumber in the Kineo region alone it estimated at over $100,000. The fires ir that district tonight were still uncon trollable. Trains on the Somerset Rail road have been held up byr the flames The work of the Are fighters has been most exhausting and with the higl temperatures today, with the added heat of ihe great fires, there were many cases of prostration. Bangor was fairly circled tonight by fires in the woods of neighboring towns. From the top of Saunders mountain in Dedham, not far from Bangor, no less than 13 fires could 1> traffic over the Lewiston. Augusta Waterville Street Railway', burning poles and damaging ties and rails. Nm mission by burning its poles, damag ing tile tics and rails and was working Us way through valuable timber land towards a number of houses with dis couraging prospects of checking its course. The blaze jumped the Thomas road and gained resistless headway in that vicinity in land that has been ie cently cut over and which was thii'dy litered with dry debris. 1-Vd with this fuel the llames jumped the tracks of the Street Railway, putting a stop t all service over that line, jumped Ihe tracks of the Maine Central at Hamms mill and made for the building of Silas Reilley. These buildings and those of Charles Grover on the llanims Mills road were saved after hard work, as were also those of George Walker in the same neighborhood. Two handtubs, the Kennebec and Niagara, were sent this afternoon down the Bath road to save property in l,1P vicinity of Merrymeeting park. About 200 acres had been burned over by this blaze, which was still reaching toward the New Meadows river, where tit re are many dwellings and much valuable timber. A fire in the woods at Mere Point that had been thought under control sprang into new life today and threat ened the farm buildings of Mrs Clara Dunning. The organized lire lighters were at work in another section of the town hut tlie farmers in tin- neighbor hood rallied quickly to the scene and after several hours brought the llames under control.
