A New Party, The Progressives, Is Promised ==Organization to Be Made in Every State ==Bryan Attempting to Dominate Demo= cratic Convention==After Nomination. TAFT RE-NOMINATED, Convention Hall, June 22.—With nearly 350 of the Roosevelt delegates declining to vote and hastening away at adjournment time to tender to Col. Roosevelt the nomination of a new party, the Kith Republican National convention at the end of a long and tumult house, tonight, renominated William Howard Taft of Ohio for President, and James Schoolcraft Sherman of New York for Vice Presi dent. President Taft received 561 of the 1078 votes in the convention, or 21 more than a majority. The decision of the Roosevelt peo ple, under direction of their leader, to refrain from voting, left no other can didate near the President. The an nouncement of the Taft victory was greeted with cheering from his adher ents and groans and hisses from the opposition. When it became absolutely certain, early today, that Taft would be re nominated without great difficulty the leaders in control of the convention decided to give him as a running mat his companion on the ticket in 1908. All others dropped from the race and Mr. Sherman was the only candi date regularly placed before the con vention. A motion from New Hamp shire to make the nominal ion by ac clamation was declared out of order. There were many scattering votes on the roll call that ensued. The convention, amid much confu sion, adjourned sine die. At no time was there an indication of a walk-out of Roosevelt delegates. They expressed their revolt by silence. In the confusion Just before adjourn ment a resolution was adopted giving the National committee power to de clare vacant the seat of any man on the committee refusing to support tlm nominees of the regular convention of 1912. Sherman’s vote was 597. The first test vote after the an nouncement of the Roosevelt valedb tory came on the adoption of the party platform. The affirmative vote was 666. Room velt delegates present and not voting numbered 343. There were 53 noes, 36 of them from the I,a Foilette states of Wisconsin and North Dakota. (Continued on Page Two.) THE WEATHER. FAIR.

Chicago, June 2fi.— Former President Theodore Roosevelt whs nominated for President on an independent ticket, .Saturday, In the dying hours of the. Repnhlican convention in which he had met defeat. The followers of Col. Roosevelt gath ered in Orchestra hall, less than n mile from the Coliseum, and pledged their supi>ort to tho former President. In accepting the nomination Col Roosevelt appealed to the people of all sections, regardless of party af filiations, to stand with the founders of the new party, one of whose cardi nal principles, he said, was to be "Thou shaft not steal.” The Informal nomination of Col. Roosevelt was said to be chiefly for the purpose of effecting a temporary organisation. Beginning Sunday, when a call is to he issued for a stale con vention in Illinois, the work of organ ization will be pushed forward rap idly, state by state. At a later time, probably early in August, it is intend ed that a National convention shall he held. Col. Roosevelt, in accepting the nomination, Saturday night, said h did so on the understanding that ho would willingly step aside if it should be the desire of the new party when organized to select another standard bearer. Tho speech nominating Col. Roose velt was made by Comptroller Win. H Prendergast of New York, who was to have presented the colonel’s name to the convention. Dean Win. Draper Lewis of the University of Pennsylva nia Law School, who was to make one of the second speeches delivered.

Baltimore was in carnival spirit, tonight. Thousands of persons thronged the streets, build ings were dressed in Hags and bunting and tnyrlds of electric light converted the down town section Into a great white way. Potential President-mak ers, politicians front near and afar, joined in what looked like mobs in the various hotel lobbies and like a parade of all Baltimore in the streets of the congested business district. Politicians were everywhere in Bal timore, tonight. Congress is in recess because of the National conventions and the Democratic leaders of the Sen ate and House except the Presidential aspirants foregathered here. There were Vieo Presidential candidates, past and present, among them. They in cluded governors, justices, state legis lators, members of the Democratic Na tional and Congii sslonal campaign committee, Tammany chieftains and men of higli and low degree in every shade of Democracy. The slogans and lithographed portraits of their candi dates were at every turn, indoors and out. It was Sunday, ordinarily of passing quiet lrt Baltimore, hut the convention hosts poured in by special trains and regulars and the aspect was tha t of a holiday gathering. The officials of the “Lord’s Day Alliance'’ had protested against undue noises, and the city fathers placet! a ban on bods. .Martial airs and sacred music alike came within the breach of the pence. Hutwithcrwist there was lati tude aplenty. Extra large congregations filled many of the churches and there were references in sermon and prayer to the convention. At the Cathedral, with a priest Of Cardinal Gibbons’ household officiating, three score dele gates ami alternates and others from Rhode Island attended in a body. Senator O’Gorman of New York, who has been frequently mentioned in the ante-convention gossip in connection with the Vice Presidential nomination and the temporary chairmanship ot the convention leader Charles Mur phy. of Tammany Hall and many prin cipal officials of the New England srates were at the Cathedral.

THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY Chicago, June 2X—The “Progress sive” pprtv born, last night, was ded icated, today, in the presence of <500 men, some of them recognised leaders of tiie movement, others merely on lookers, the first formal step was taken. Gov. Hiram Johnson of Cali fornia was empowered to appoint a committee of seven members to con fer with Col. Roosevelt and formu late a plan of action. "Here is the biith of a new party,” said Gov. Johnson, when this was done. "The movement is going steadily ahead,” said James It. Garfield of Ohio. "Those who think this is ai Hash in the pan are mistaken.” In the opinion of the leaders thd new party now enters the field witli a formidable equipment. These lead ers. however, said that aft to the men who took a conspicuous part in thd campaign for Col. Roosevelt's nomin ation each must speak for himself. The attitude of Gov. Hundley ofl Missouri was the chief point of dis cussion along this line. The Governor left town without waiting to declard himself. No definite idea of the plan to bet followed could be obtained, it wad said, and it may be several weeks be-* fore the program is decided upon. Gov. Johnson, in the meantime, will act as field marshal, and in co-operas tion with Col. Roost veil will decida upon the membership of the commits tee of seven and guide the prelimin ary work of organization. Col. Roose velt will leave for Oyster Bay, to morrow aftern ton. and Gov.

Mr. Brehaut jumped as the machine was going down the hill and received minor injuries. Mr. Smith sustained a badly sprained ankle and his body and face were bruised and scratched.

Hanks was seen by e representative of the Journal and assured him that everything was mov ing along nicely for the great race meeting, in August. Mr. Hanks has leased about 10 acres of level ground situated directly west and adjoining the capital Driving park. This will prove a most valuable acquisition and will Insure adequate space for the com forl of the throngs of visitors who will be in attendance. During the pres ent week a large crew will commence erecting 150 new stalls, which. In ad dition to the large number all ready on the grounds, will place the Au gusta track first among Maine race tracks as relates to stable accommoda tions The track has been treated to a 4 Inch coat of clay loom and is now much faster and safer than before, while the turns have been graded and other Important Improvements have been going on under the. personal su pervision of Mr Hanks, that are sure to be appreciated by owners and drlv. rs During the coming week the different committees will be selected and every detail will be given the most carelu) attention of those selected. Advices from various parts of the Fa stern country indicate an average dally attendance of not less than r>. 000. while it is predicted that upwards of 50,000 will he on hand. Wednesday, Aug 7, when Stake No. 1 for 2:10 trot APTER SEVEN YEARS Augusta Testimony Remains Un shaken. Time Is the best test of truth. Here ts an Augusta story that has stood the test of time. It is a story with a point which will come straight home to many of u; Mrs. C. F. Church. 2 Cushman St., Augusta. Me., says: "I had a great deal of trouble from Imperfect action of my kidneys. By bark pained me intensely and I wan restless at night My appetite was poor. My husband finally got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills for me and they soon brought relief. A second box ended the pains in my back and entirely removed the tired feeling. 1 have since recom mend'd thl8 preparation to many people.” The above statement was given in January 1905 and during a personal Interview on April 2ff, 1S12, Mrs. Church said “Doan's Kidney Pill* are certainly a very line kidney medi cine I willingly confirm the state ment 1 made in their praise several years ago.” For sale by all dealers.

The admission price will he as follows; Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Aug. 6, 7, and S, $1; balance of the meeting admission will be fiO cents Theso prices seem ridiculously low when the high character of the show is taken into consideration, hut Mr. Hanks feels sure that the large at tendance will render it possible for him to pull through without loss at the prices he has decided upon. Ono thousand season tickets have been is sued and will be placed on sale at an early date at $4 each, good for eight admissions at any time during the meeting. A representative will commence a canvass cf the city, this week, to lo cate every available room that can he rented for the meeting. This seems necessary, as the hotels in (he stab rooms at hotels in Lewiston. Water vtlle, Gardiner. Hallowell, Wlnthrop and Brunswick are rapidly being en gaged by parties who contemplate at tending the meeting, will he over-taxed and at least 3ono and probably 5000 private rooms will be required. Man ager Hanks predicts that not less than $1400,000 v111 tie spent in the county and State during the meeting by those who visit *>e her wei! beloved suns.*' Boston Wool Market. Trading is still *e taken along with such list of provisions as desired. Last Day of Outing. Saturday was the closing day of the meeting’s festivities, with shooting contests and water sports in the morn ing, and an excursion to Winthrop for (lie Augusta-Winthrop baseball game in the afternoon. Many left for their homes immediately following the de ciding events, so that barely 60, in cluding the Pittsfield Band and at tnchces of the hotel, made the steamer trip across the lake. After the game the good-byes were to he said and this year’s outing declared officially ended. The Canoe Races. The doubles and singles in the canoe races were pulled off under the a hie supervision of J. Putnam Stevens, who —but will have some more to say about Putt’s being there. The rivalry between Howard Wood, an expert from Greenville, and George Jones, a paddle wielder from Mos quito, was little short of deadly. Both, however, preserved outward calm and talk of hidden but ready revolvers was discredited. Wood is a smooth-faced young fel low' of Adonis-like proportions; Jones shorter with deep chest and heavier shoulders and arms. Stories of Wood’s prowess and a “winter of practice” made him the favorite hut Jones was not without his backers. A stocky youngster by lhe name of Billy Haines—J. W. Haines, Jr., to give Mm all of it—was the other man in the canoe with Wood, for (he two mile doubles. A well-built lad, L. S. Patterson from New York, was Jones' partner. Jockeying for position, under Stevens’ watchful eyes, was futile and the two canoes were away in a beau tiful start. The Wood canoe appeared t y he bearing too far to the left hut there seemed little choice at the mile mark. They were within half a mile of the finish when the Jones canoe was seen to be dropping slowly astern. Wood and Haines continued to gain to the line, winning by about five lengths, one of the closest contests re corded in the annals of the associa tion. After a short rest, Wood, Jones and Haines, with a new entry, H. A Hutchinson of Head field, announced) themselves ready for the mile singles. This, also was a perfect start but immediately following? all tried to emu late the apparently more effective style •»l .Tones, who took the lead. This re sulted in confusion for a stiff breeze was blowing' and I he others, being in experienced at this way of racing, started on strange courses and Haines gave up as lie lost control of his craft for moment and found himself too far in the rear. Hutchinson, though hopel. -sly distanced, stuck gamely to tin* finish. The two real contestants rounded the stake-boat almost together, and bets were freely offered on Wood, with only one taker. Fred It. Smith, who risked 45 cents* worth of soda. About a quarter of a mile from the line Wood seemed to be in trouble and Jones steadily increased a slight lead. Wood arrived the loser by about eight lengths, stating that he had been un able to continue localise of a cramp in his right side. Jones made his way through cheering friends who surrounded him, and. with a broad grin, joined Ids party, who were ready to leave for home. The greased pole, motor boat and row boat events were declared off because of lack of contestants and time. Aroostook’s Crack Shot. F. E. Jorgensen, a magnificently built giant warden from Masardls, carried away a Marlin rifle with the highest score of the meet Mr. Jorgensen, who gained fame in his section through an 86 mile trip on skiis in one day, dealt out a 46 in five shots on the Maranacook range. This was his second win of the meet, having carried off the revolver contest, Friday. As preceding contests have been won with scores under 35, this exhibition of marksmanship was more than remarkable. Three 10*s and two 8’s made up the total. O. E. Libby’s really notable feat of scoring 44 in the other event was over shadowed by the work of the man from Aroostook, but Mr. Libby captured a Savage rifle by this shooting. The scores of the two events were as follows: Special contest, 200 yards, any stand ard rifle—F. E. Jorgensen 46. Earl Nor crass 42, F. A. Anderson 35, Howard Wood 29, Harry Goodrich 28, George C.

Among Those Present. President John Sprague from Portland was the last resort in any dispute or problem. The head of this great organ ization lias demonstrated his right to leadership through his progressiveness and experience—an unbeatable combina tion. Billy Hill, the sharpshooter from Port land. was on deck with ids Improved basket of fancy marksmanship. Secretary Fred Smith was there and that’s enough to say. Everybody who knows Fred knows, too, that to have him around means the success of any such gathering. Fred is always ready to do his work, the president’s, the land lord’s, the cook’s and the waitresses’—to say nothing of the reporters’. Thank you, Fred. Then there was J. Putnam Stevens. Putt wa? right there every minute with both number nines where they'd do the most good. He was the prodigal son who was just returned from California. Put Putt in the darkest African jungle about this time of year, hedge him in with a bunch of native spearmen, tie him up with braided silk, half-inch line, so that lied look like a ball, of twine, say "Fish and Game meeting.” and we’ll bet Putt would make it on time. He was "there” for the water sports; he was there for the dancing, he was there when the blonde table boy from New York sltpped a practiced arm about the waist of the prettiest waitress, he was there when Billy Hill's auto started with* room for another, and, believe us, Putt was on hand for ills meals. We could go on with true tributes for everyone but let’s just say: "It was one devil of a fine bunch!” as did the engi near, and let it go at that. I two-thirds of the wools of that State are 11 (»w out of tirsi hands. I-tali, Neveda, Oregon and Wyoming; are so well cleaned up that buyers are working Into other sections. A good deal of wool is still held in Idaho, hut late advices from thoie state that buyers are inclined to hold off and sales have not been large. In Texas a steady move ment of the new elips is noted. The new California wools also are moving freely, but It is the local rather than the Bos ton buyers who are operating most free ly there, in Ohio round lots of wool have lately been sold and in Michigan. Politics seem to he overlooked at the moment as a market factor, though they are potent as ever in the minds of the conservatively inclined members of lue trade. A Democratic victory at the polls in November is something that most of the trade J>ur. Many insist, however, regardless of political developments, that wool prices will go much bighei. It is pointed out that never before In the history of file trade has the consumption of wool been so close to the production as it is now Vustralia and South America, accord ing to report, will not pioduce as much Arrow "Notch COLLAR Plenty of Ue space. 16c. 2 (or 25c.

The population of the world, meanwhile, is growing constantly and it is said that the operation of the law of supply and demand alone will mean higher prices than now prevail. Recent local trading includes a good deal of new Ftahs and Nevadas in ori ginal bags. Evidence of the interest in old wools is seen in the sale of 100.000 pounds of Montana half-blood combing wools.

Reasons for Many of Jack Tar's Peculiarities Center in Safety. Why does a seafaring’ man—captain, conk, or cabin boy—consider it unlucky to «hip with a man who neglected to pay his laundry bill? "Why does a sailor nearing port after a lengthy voyage gather up old clothes •Hid shoes unfit for further use and ceremoniously commit them to the Why does he like to sail on a ship which displays a shark’s tooth firmly nailed to the bowsprit or jib boom? Why does lie like cats? Why does lie place great faith in the merits of a pig as a weather prophet? The simplest answer to these ques tions is—because the average sailor is superstitious. During rough weather at sea it would be hard to convince any old time sailor that there wasn’t a Jonah aboard. Many captains of the old school, who ought to know letter, are so superstit ious in this resjiect that It is not uncom mon for them to take intense dislike to officers who have happened apparently to be the harbingers of bad weather, and especially fog. It is quite unusual on board ship to find members of the crew nicknamed “Foggy Jones” “Hea vy Weather l-till,” or "Squally Jack.” Cats on board whip are considered lucky, and many a stray one finds a comfortable home and careful atten tion with Jack for its friend, although, on the other hand, dur domestic friend has at times been held responsible for the continuance of bad weather and had to play the part of Jonah to the full extent. Perhaps the most amusing supersti tion of the sailor is considering it a crime for any member of the crew to leave pirt witli his washing bill un rail), as this neglect Is generally be lieved to be I he cause of bad weather being encountered just after leaving port. One of the most curious superstitions is that dealing with the capture of a shark. The natural dread and antipa thy with which these nionsteis of the deep are viewed cause a capture to be hailed with much rejoicing. All hands from the captain to the cabin boy take a keen interest in the operations, and) having successfully landed the shark on deck—a proceeding that causes no little excitement it is RTijed and its tail cut off. This trophy Is then nailed either on the end of the bowsprit or the jilt boom anti is considered a valu able charm, capable of having the power to bring the ship fair winds and finest ol vyealher. It is not uncommon to see sailing ships lying in port with this iteculiar sign of the sailor’s super stition. hut*tile custom is fast dying out with the advent of the steamship, where the capture of a shark at sea is a rare occurrence. Tin: killing of a pig at sea is always an occasion of much Importance, not only for the reason that fresh meat is to be enjoyed—a great luxury on a sailing ship after perhaps mouths of salt provisions—but also what is term ed a "pig breeze" or' favorable wind may lie looked upon as a certainty. Pigs when kept on sailing vessels are often let out of Iheir pens, and iheir movements, which are believed to fore tell the state of the wind to be ex pected are watched with keen interest. Should a pig showr signs of laziness and merely lie down or wander slowly about the deck, this is considered a sign of calm weather, with little or no wind in prospect; but any friskiness and a great amount of squealing is hailed as a sure sign of winds, a neces sary factor for the navigation of a sailing ship.—Kansas City Journal.

Section 26. FUND FOR USE AND BENEFIT OF THE INSPECTION OP BUILDINGS. The ll of tone and power uneiilulled in all the world. Ho called a bellmaker and, in the fashion of Oriental autocrats, he made the condition that if the bell failed in his requirements the life of the artisan would be the forfeit. This condition was overheard in terror by the bell maker's maiden daughter, liuring a sleepless night a god appeared to the daughter, with thi statement that the Mood of a virgin mingled with the metal would most certainly produce a matchless hell. The next day as the metal was about to be poured Into the mold the daughter lea tied into the molten mass, thus mingling her blood with the metal. The resultant hell was of far-reaching tone and of a sweetness never before realized, and it greatly pleased the Kmperor, of course. It is said the hells' as now used In rhuriehes were the invention of Pau, lus. Tiishop of Nolo, in Campania, some tinn in the fourth century. Up to that time the monks were sum moned to devotion by rapping on their doors with a hammer. In the four teenth century bells very largely took the place of clocks. The hours of the day and night being divided and the people notified thereof by the striking of the hour on the bell. Hells have not always been round, despite their shape today. The oldest bells often were of quadrangular form, made of thin plates hammered and riveted to gether. In Switzerland there is still preserved at the monastery of St. Gall the four-sided hell of the Irish missionary of that name, who lived in the seventh century. I'wrhaps tile most famous bell In the world is the first great hell In Mos cow. now, standing in a square in that city, and so large that it is used as a chapel. This bell was cast in 1733, hut was in the earth for more than 100 years, being raised in 1K38 by the Em peror Nicholas. It Is nearly 30 feet high, has a circumference of fio feet, is two feet thick and weighs almost 200 tons. The second Moscow bell, be lieved to he the largest hell in the world actually in use, weighs 12S tons. Another very large bell is in the grounds of an old temple in Osaka. Japan. Tills one was cast in 1903 to perpetuate the memory of a certain Prince Shotuka, who lived nearly l.Sofl years ago. It is formed largely from contributions of all sorts made by pi ous persons throughout the country, in its make-tip being Included the frames of no less than 190,000 ancient copper mirrors The great Skotuka bell is 28 feet high, 43 feet In circum ference, 10 feet In diameter, 1 foot 7 Inches thick, weighing 114 tons. Still another large bell hangs in the Bud dhist monastery near Canton. It is IS feet in height and 40 feet in circumfer ence, being 'list in solid bronze. This is one of the eight monster bells cast by command 'if the Km furor Yung Bo, about A D. 1400. it is said to have cost the lives "f eight men, who were killed in the process of casting. The entire outside is covered with inscrip tions in .embossed Chinese characters about half an inch in length, covering even the top piece from which it swings, the total number of letters be ing 43,000. Tile largest bell in England is Big Ben of Westminster, weighing between 13 and 14 tons. A curious story is connected with the hells of Messingham church, Eng land. It is related that a long time ago a traveler passing through Mes singham noticed three men sitting on stde in the churchyard and calling out, “Come to church, Thompson'." ‘‘Coma to church. Brown!” "Come to church, Wilkins And so on. Greatly sur prised. the traveler asked what it meant. He was told the place, hav ing no hells, they called the folks to church In .this way. The traveler re marked that it was a pity so fine a church should be without bells, and at the same time asked the men if they could make three for the church If he would pay them himself. They readi ly agreed to do this. By trade- the three men were a tinker, a carpenter and a sl^pemakor. When next the traveler passed that way he found the three men ringing three bells, which said “Tink. tonk. pluff,” being made re spectively of tiN. wood and leather. The first real peal of bells or chimes in England was sent by Pope Calixtus ill. to King's College, Cambridge, and for 300 years this was the largest peal in the country. Peals came into gen eral use about the beginning of tlie year 1300, when sets of eight bells were hung in many of the leading churches. When first introduced chime hells wore rung by a number Of men each grasping a rope from one partic ular bell and striking it at the precise moment the leader pointer^ a finger at him for a signal. Tiie custom origi nated in Europe, and was imported to tlds country when the first chimes were brought over. This was shortly after the country's independence was de clared, the new hells being placed in Trinity church, New York City. It re quired seven men to ring the seven bells, and It was not until 18oo that a plan was devised whereby one man alone was able to ring the hells. King Henry VIII. despoiled many churches of hells to be sold for their value, as metal. Curious things are reported to have happened when thes.' bells were removed. It is a remarka ble fact that Sir Miles Partridge, who, at dice, won the bells of St. Paul’s from the King, was shortly afterward hanged on Tower Hill. At Yarmouth ships carrying the bells to foreign porta foundered and sank. The wreck ing of a vessel carrying 14 bells of Jersey at the entrance of the St. Main harbor gave rise to the tal* that when the wind blows the drowned bells are heard pealing. Any mention of bells would be in complete without adding something about our own Liberty bell, famous in two worlds. This bell is of Knglish manufacture, cast in London in 752. brought over to America, and subse quently recast in Philadelphia, where it reposes in Independence Hall, on lower Chestnut street. On it ts In scribed: “Proclaim Liberty Through out the World and To All the Inhabi tants Thereof." Seven years after the signing of the Declaration of Indepen dence this bell made known th“ Joy ous news that peace between the f'nit ed States and Great Britain had been restored. As everybody knows, the Liberty Bell is cracked, but what everybody dues not know is how it came to he cracked. There is a story to the ef fect that it was cracked while tolling for the funeral of Chief Justice John Marshall, on July 8, 1835.—N. Y. Press. »T VITinil How Mme. Degrise Helped to Save Paris During the Commune, as She Believed. The' French government has just granted the medal of 1S70 to Mme. De grise, who was canteen woman In that year to the 4tith battalion. A correspondent of Le Journal found her In a bare and melancholy room, hard at work at her dead husband’s trade of making heavy boots for la boring men. "It was toward the end of the siege,” she said, ‘‘that I became a canteen woman. My husband volunteered for the national guard. I was 2S years old and had no children and at the request of my husband the command ing officer called me up, asked the company whether they would accept my services. They said ‘yes’ and so, on December 19, I joined the army. “We were sent to the line of out posts. The weather was cold, but the shopkeepers and laborers In the na tional guard endured the hardships of that terrible winter most stoically. I went from one bivouac to another, keeping the fires alight, serving out hot coffee, improving the quality of the sou]), looking after the crippled and encouraging all those brave fel lows. “I followed my battalion into the fights of Bourget. Bobigny and Dran cy Farm The dead were placed on my cart and I wheeled them off to the cemetery of St. Denis* One of them was a coffee-house keeper who got married Just before he enlisted. A German shell fell into his eoffee-honsc but did him no damage. But fate was not to be denied. “On December 27 the armistice came just aft-'r J handed over to the colonel some 2fl rifles l had picked up between the two lines. My battalion returned to Paris and the Commune broke out. The communist government at the Hotel de Ville charged us with the duty of police work. We swore to be loyal to the communist flag, the better to betray it to the government of Ver sailles. "On the night of May 21 we were on guard at the Passy barricade. All our arrangements had been made, and at 2 o'clock in the morning we opened the gate to the government troops from Versailles. Then, turning back, we quartered ourselves in the Madison Acallle. A few months later the 71st regiment of the lino was with us, and the regulars entered Paris. ‘To put the communist leaders on the wrong scent, we were arrested like exerybody else, and were sent to Ver sailles. From there I was sent with 23 other women to the central prison at Clermont, where In obedience to gov ernment orders, I was employed as a forewoman in the bootmaking shops. After little formal delay I- was re leased, ami returned to Paris, which we had perhaps saved from still worse disasters and humiliations tiian It ac tually underwent. •Now I am an old widow, scarcely able to keep the wolf from the door. Perhaps I shall never again see my home at Etrecouchy in the Pas-de Calais. I am proud of this little piece of ribbon on my working dress, and I ask nothing more from life.” With reference to the old woman's proud boast that she had helped to save Paris from yet greater disasters, it was the opinion of many well-in formed people on the spot that if the Versailles troops had not taken the communists by surprise and capturad Paris by a coupe de main, the latter would have blown dp the city and buried every one In the ruins.—Spring field Republican. COD FISHERS GO FAR AFIELD. Gloucester Ships Seek Their Prey Off the Coast of Alaska. Off the bleak shores of western Alas ka the world is now drawing on its last and greatest store of codfish. Branches of all the large Kastern codfish, pack ing plants are now established on Pu get Sound. The supplies come from the shores of Alaska, 1,000 miles west ward from the Strait of .luan de Kuea. Over 100 codfishing boats are now on the fishing banks, each manned with its complement of dories, men, and ap pliances for cleaning and salting away the catch. Of these ships some CO once claimed Gloucester, Mass., as their home port. For six months the eodfishers will work as long as there Is light to haul Into their dories their daily catih. The men are paid an average of If cents per fish, and a usual days work is from 250 to 350 fish, weighing from three to fifteen pounds. Each slop carried eight dories, with five men to a dory. Each morning the fish are piled up on the deck of the 3ldp. where they ate cleaned and then salted away in the hold, one pound of salt to four pounds of fish. The men earn from $10 to $30 p r day. —N. Y. World. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children, the Kind You Have Always L'oaglft S^natu^of

For Representative^ teuk and read his lines alternately he was more and more inspired with the greatness of the real mountain and conscious of the despit a bleness of his literary portrait. Now he would alter this phrase, then he would cancel that clu use, now he would strike out this idea as vulgar platitude, then he would deplete that sentence as illogical. When the thor ough pruning was done, behold, ills elaborate composition had heen reduc ed to one single sentence: "The moun tain Is a green, beautiful tiling." The great thinker then said.fo nlr.iseif with satisfaction. This embodies tlie es sence of my thoughts' on the moun tain.’ If we think too much on life we are liable to come to the conclusion that "all is vanity and there is naught that is new under the sun.” So 1 lielieve that writers and readers ought to think a little but feel much If they wish to glean pleasure from reading, writing or conversation. But there are some strange persons in the world who seem to have very little capacity for feeling. It is probably these strange persons whom Jerome had in his mind when he described “a most superior person.’’ After describlnig how this "most supe rior person" sneered at tiie best known authors and publications, how lit- never read the living authors whom he crit icised contemptuously, how he formed Ills own opinion about the Almighty Clod and objected to heaven, Jerome goes on to speak of him as follows: "Art irritated and science bored him. He despised Ids ow n family and dislik ed everybody else. For exercise lie yawned, and ids conversation was mainly confined to an occasional shrug. Nobody liked him, but everybody re spected him. One felt grateful to him for his condescension in llvinlg at all.” This "most superior man,” 1 think, is the victim of overthinking or wrong thinking. We agree in saving that man nets according to his feelings, not according to Ids thinking; and why should not writers write as their feel ings dictate? If Shakespeare had written his plays according to the cold logic of knowl edge his writings would not have ftour Ished till today. If we confront the stage with the austere eyes of a think ing critic, where would be the charm of the stage illusions? The knowledge of one country is not necessarily the knowledge of another; the knowledge of one age is not the knowledge of all ages; hut man’s feelings remain iho same today as they were in the days of Adam and Eve, and this throughout the world. Tlie expressions of sincere feelings constitute literature and. poetry In written words, music in sweet sounds, In pictures art, in actions hero isms. Editors and authors In encouraging us struggling scribblers teach us to write about only those subjects with which we are thoroughly conversant; but in my humble opinion, they would be giving greater encouragement to us if they advised us to write about what we know nothing of; for what little knowledge we possess about any sub ject represents the sum total Of what we have heard and read what other persons say upon it. To put together in a nutshell all the stray bits of knowledge we picked up Irom this hook or that person is an onerous task. For my part I would draw freely upon tha'_ wonderful Bcodrce of instruction and imagination which the ancier.ts and poets call the heart. Making a Chance in Life. While many middle-aged men are bemoaning their littleness because they “never had a chance," a little -year old matron of Chicago has gone out in to the world ami created a chance. Mrs. Lima C. Hammond, who now confesses to 11 years wedded bliss, has just graduated from Englewood High school after a three years course. In short skirts, hair down her hack and with sensibly eared for complexion and figure, she easily passed for 18. "I wanted to be something," said site, “and six years ago J started at the grammar school and from there went to the high school. I did pose ns a Miss,’ ns I thought it would lie better.

If this little woman never attains her goal she will have been better and happier for having done her best and those who come in contact with that sert of courage and spirit will have benefited thereby. Whether or not this is, as claimed, the age of woman, it is certainly the age when spunk in man or woman counts. It requires genius as well as courage for a woman appruai h ing middle age to pass hersi if elT as a girl. This wi man's unique experience is as much a tribute to modern civili zation .as to her own admirable desire for education. Coder modern condi tions women do not grow old so rapid ly as they foimerly did. They keep their hats in the ring of youth with a disregard of 11 it* sacred traditions of their gradmothers as charming as it is startling, it is no unusual thing now adays for mother and daughter to be taken for sisters. Women are taking better care of themselves physically, for one tiling, than they ever did before; the advent of the trust-made prepared foods ami labor-saving devices lias relieved them largely of the drudgery of household work which lias crushed woman for ages, and they do not buiden them selves with large families which were characteristic of our forebears. Wheth er this latter fact he one of good or ill omen for humanity is debatable, hut whatever its evil effects may be, certainly it cannot tie denied that it has at least served to assist woman in her emancipation. looks as if there'd have to be an other ring for the hat. Nov 'ffs.s up! Did you know, in all this convention fuss, that Evelyn Thaw had been testifying again?

(Bath Independent.) Although the Independent still be lieves that the nomination of Hon. Al bert H. Shaw would have given the Republicans of Maine as strong a man as the state can produce as a candi date for governor this fall and al though Mr. Shaw’s many friends in this county are disappointed that they will not have an opportunity to vote for him in September, it is never-the-less a. fa»*t that they will get together and givi to the successful candidate the earnest support which Mr. Shaw re quests in his statement printed in an other column. Soldiers, Civilian, Public Official. (Portland Sunday Telegram.) Probably the death of no citizen of Portland would be more sincerely lament ed throughout the whole State than that of Henry Bradstreet Cleaves, the brave soldier, loyal civilian and honest and capable public official. Two temptations constantly confront the man of affairs in his relations to state and city. He is al ways inclined to think that he hasn’t time to give to public duties and he is apt to fe^l in certain matters of public policy that personal considerations must oueweigh those of the community. That is why the life of such a man as Henry B. Cleaves is of particular moment to State and city. Mr. Cleaves was a busy man. But he was always ready from his earliest days to take a hand in any thing that needed to be done for the public welfare. In all his business and political relations Mr. Cleaves gained the reputation of being thoroughly public spirited, fair ami conscientious. He be longed to that class of men who find it Impossible to go contrary to their hon est convictions. Every good cause found in him a supporter, and he was alwrays on the side of political decency and pro gress. He was quiet and unobtrusive in manner and wielded a strong influence in the community—an influence that will live in the impression his life made on the State and city, and particularly on tin* younger men with whom he came in contact. His military honors were won on the battlefield where he distinguished himself for bravery and efficiency and lie leaves behind a glorious war record. In the death of Henry B. Cleaves the He puplican party lias lost a wise leader, capital a capable counsellor, and the community a loyal and public spirited citizen. Maine’s Duty in September. (Lewiston Journal.) Whatever the outcome of the national conventions, one tiling must be done in Maine next September. The reign of lawlessness as set up and maintained by Plaistedlsm must be end ed. Rlaisted promised to enforce the law's. He lias broken ids solemn promise. Fqr tills reason alone, he should be re pudiated by the voters of Maine, irre spective of party. M aine Gossip What Might Be Done. What might bp done If men were wise— VVliat glorious deeds, my suftei'lng brother, Would they unite In love and right. And cease their scorn of one another. Oppression's heart might be Imbued With kindling drops of loving kindness; And knowledge pom From shore to shore Fight Oil liie eyes of mental blindness. All slavery, warfare, lies and wrongs, All vice and crime might die together; And wine and corn To each man born. Be free as warmth In summer weather. The meanest wretch that ever trod. The deepest sunk in guilt and sorrow, Might stand erect In self-respect And share the teeming world tomorrow. What might he done? Tills might be And more than this, my suffering brother— More than the tongue H er sail, or sung. If men were wise and loved each other. —Charles Mackay. The Man on the Job has recently been In the Dead River region and lias made some trips over Uuokboaril roads. He noticed while he was making these trips that some of the buekboard drivers seemed to have solemn faces and this lead to on Inquiry. "I guess you’d feel solemn," remarked one of the charioteers, "if you knew that you had to bounce into and out of some camp every day over these awful roads. Take it with jolts, rocks, black ilics, mosquitoes and other pests life is just a (rille uncomfortable at times.” And then the driver lighted his pipe liy way of solace. Maine Woods. A Lewiston man who attended the recount of Democratic votes In Wards Three, Five and Six Thursday says: "The recount disclosed Interesting and curious facts. For Instance, in Ward Six there waft a total of 357 votes east. The check list disclosed that hut :tr>2 names cheeked. Where cl it 1 the extra five Votes come fromv In Ward Three 243 ballots were found In the box. The cheek list showed that 227 names were voted on. Where did the extra 16 votes come from? In Ward Five 250 ballots were found in the box as having been east. According to the check list 227 voters exercised their right of suffrage. Where did the 23 extra votes come from? The exami nation of the ballots in Ward Six proved most interesting. Evidently I.owe, Rambert, Couture, Leader and Morneau had their admirers. Twenty seven ballots rnarged for these candi dates and only for these candidates appeared one after the other indicating that some twenty-seven voters with like ideas, followed each other to the box without interruption by any other Idea. The official count would indi cate that this hunch of ballots had been overlooked election day only to he discovered on the night of the re count, gross carelessness on the part of the official counters. Two of the candidates for the Legislature on the Democratic ticket apparently had very nervous supporters. Whereas the crosses for the other candidates would be made by a firm hand, it frequently happened that uporf- thc same ballot would appear an entirely different kind of cross for one or both these candidates. Just the cause for this difference in marking of course no one knows, but then, it is just as hard to understand how the hunch of identi cally marked ballots escaped Inspec tion.—Lewiston Journal. Agricultural Help _ A department compiled from tlie best of our exchanges and farming reports for our rural subscribers Ploughing With Dynamite. Farming with dynamite, says a writer in the Strand., has grasped the united States and is spreading throughout Cana da and Mexico like a prairie fire. The farmers who have tried it swear by it, and are upheld by the leading authori ties in agricultural science. It seems a strange way of making the ground bring forth its produce in plenty, but there is no getting away from the fact that it acts. The explosive force of dynamite when it is fired is exerted for the most part downward. If a pound of this explosive is laid upon tlie ground and detonated it will tear a big hole on the spot where it was lying. Tn every case where a huge charge of dynamite has gone off unexpectedly, a huge pit is dug. Conse quently, when dynamite cartridges are sunk into the soil and the hole above the stick is filled with rammed earth or "tamped,’' as it is called, so that the shot cannot blow out harmlessly, the force of the explosion is exerted down wards, disintegrating the earth in ail directions to a depth of five or six feet, the gases eventually finding a vent in the air through the crevices the blast has made through the subsoil. When news of this method of breaking up the ground first leaked out it was re ceived with considerable derision among the skeptical, but the agricultural spec ialist realized that there was method in the backwoodsman’s apparent madness. The experimental farmers tested the matter for themselves and found that there wrus a decided difference in a plot of ground, one-half of which had been blasted and the other ploughed in the usual manner when sown with seed from one harvest. The blasted ground was found to produce crops running from 50 per cent upwards in superiority and yield. This clinched the argument in favor of dynamite farming, but then another difficulty arose. Dynamite is a peculiar tool with which to pursue agricultural operations. It must be handled in a certain manner, must not be subjected to violent extremes of temperature, freezes quickly; in fact, wa** just the implement which the average farmer should not use unless the dealh-rate was to be sent up. Contemporaneously with the experi ments of the Governmental agricultural experimenters, the chemists in the Wil mington laboratories of the E. I. Dupont de Nemours Powder Company were hard at W’ork. The dynamite which the ordinary blaster used for removing rocks to admit of the building of rail ways, harbors, and other works was all very well but it demanded the services of an accomplished hand. Accordingly the chemists sought to prepare a special dynamite, suited to farm use, and which would be far safer to handle. Their ef forts were at last crowned with success, and the “Ked Cross” dynamite today through the length nnd breadth «f tha coMinent is regarded as ihe agricultur Ist’s'most faithful and reliable friend. It was found possible to evolve an explo sive of\this character which is per fectly saV to handle so long ns common sense is displayed.
