Rev. A. A. Smith gave the third of his series of addresses in the afternoon vespers last Sunday on the subject of divorce, lie gave a brief history of the divorce legislation of Maine and the other States, and an

abstract of the different kinds of divorce laws in force at the present time. The practical workings of some of these laws were referred to, and some remedies were

suggested for the prevalence of divorce. Greater care should be exercised in making marriage contracts, and after the tie is once

made husband and wife should each strive to reconcile any difference. Soutli Carolina grants no divorces for any cause. The address was well received by all who heard it.

Rev. W. C. Wentworth of New York City spoke in the Methodist vestry last Friday evening on “The Humorous, Pathetic and Glorious in Mission w'ork in New York City.” The address was able and instruc- tive, and delivered in a style which showed a ready command of language and the ability to move an audience to laughter or

tears. Mr. Wentworth has been laboring as amissionary in some of the worst sections of the F.ast Side of New York City, and his

description of the life of the people in the tenement houses was vivid. The methods employed by the missionaries were outlined and an encouraging report given of the work accomplished. One method adopted is by a newspaper printed in the interests of the poor and circulated gratis wherever in the judgment of the missionaries it would do the most good. The paper is supported by voluntary contributions. It is an idea introduced by Mr. Wentworth, and is the pioneer religious newspaper for free distribution among the poor. Mr. Wentworth is to take charge of a Jewish mission in another part of the. city on his return.

Air. I. N. Halliday, General Secretary of the Alaine State S. S. Association, is about to lay down the work of that office, having accepted a call from the First Congregation- al church of Oakland, California, to the Superintendency of its Sunday School and the oversight of its Young People’s work. He is expected to take up his work there at

once. Air. Halliday retires from the Sunday School work of Alaine, after three years’ service, with deep regret that this separa- tion must take place, but assured that his efforts have been thoroughly appreciated by the people, whose good wishes will follow him and his family to their new field of ac-

tivity. The work of the Alaine State S. S. Association, his charge, has grown until its conventions are among the best attended and most interesting meetings held in the State. Steps of decided progress have been taken, and the recent convention in Lewis- ton, with over BOO delegates present, showed plainly the progress made. In almost every county many new workers have been en-

listed, extra, enthusiasm aroused, and definite results gained. Reports of the success achieved in the broad held of Maine led to the selection of Mr. Halliday for the important work connected with this church, the largest in California. Mr. Ilalliday asks that all State Sunday school corresponence be, for the present, addressed to the Secretary, Rev. II. W. Kimball, Skow began.

OBITUARY.

Capt. Gilbert M. Hart died at his home on Lineolnville avenue, Nov. 9th, after an illness of 48 hours. He was about as usual Thursday, when he had a partial paralytic shock. This was followed by pneumonia, and as he was unable to take medicine on account of the paralysis, which affected his throat, the disease resulted fatally. Capt. Hart was born in St. George 70 years ago, and began going to sea when he was 11

years old. His first voyage was across the ocean, lie followed the sea the greater part of his life and had been in command of a

number of vessels in the coasting and West India trade, including the brig President Taylor, schooners Harmona, Orion, Ked Rover and others. In 1876 he was at work in the Warren powder mill when the mill exploded. Capt. Hart was blown through the roof of the building and landed, provi- dentially, in a muddy spot at the side of the brook lie was fearfully burned and bruis- ed and lay at the point of death several weeks. A fellow workman who stood beside him when the explosion occurred was

blown to atoms. Since leaving the sea he has carried on a little farm and worked as

ship calker. He was the oldest of the family of ten children of Jeremiah and Mercy- llart, of whom live remain, lie married Josephine Carter of Northport Sept. 30

1855. She survives him, with five sons and three daughters, Miss T.illias A. Hart, Mrs. Elena, wife of Herbert L. Gray, Lewis H. and Everett M. Hart of Belfast, Capt. G. Justin Hart of New Bedford, Mass.; Annie B., wife of Henry B. Albee of Tremont, Me., Alonzo C. Hart of New York, and Ralph II. of Lawrence, Mass. The funeral was held at his late home Thursday afternoon, Rev. A. A. Smith officiating. Phoenix Lodge, F. and A. M., of which he had been a member 46 years, attended and held ser-

vices. The tloral offerings were many and testified to the high esteem in which he was

held by all who knew him. The interment was in the South Belfast cemetery.

Mrs. Katie M. Rhoades died at her home on Cedar street Saturday morning, Nov. 10th, after a long illness. She was born in Jackson, and her parents, Levi and Mary Snow, moved to Nortliport when she was a

child. She married Rev. Marion Rhoades, who preached many years in Islesboro and Nortliport. Her husband died several years ago. She leaves two sons and two daughters, Fannie M., Charles E., Pauline and Hosea Rhoades, all of Belfast. One brother, O. M. Snow of Norfolk, Ct.,and two sisters, Mrs. S. 1>. Parker and Mrs. Annie Dow of Belfast, survive her. Mrs. Rhoades was a

member of the Baptist church and her whole life was in accord with her profes- sion. A true and dutiful wife and mother, her first thoughts were for her family, for whose best interests she ever had a special care. As a friend and neighbor she won

the highest regard of all; every one who knew her regarded her as a true friend and a faithful Christian. Her sufferings during her long illness were borne with a fortitude and uncomplaining resignation that proved the depth of her Christian faith and was a

lit ending of a life in which faith and works ever went hand in hand. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Geo. E. Tufts officiating. The interment was in Islesboro.

Thomas II. Wellman, one of the oldest residents of Belmont, died at his home in South Belmont Nov. !>th, aged 84 years, 7 months and 28 days. His illness, which was only of a few days duration, he bore with fortitude and calmness. The commu-

nity mourn the loss of a man of sterling character, of integrity and honor. In his home life he was kind and gentle, faithful to the duties and privileges of fatherhood, guiding and guarding his children into a

noble -and mature manhood and woman-

hood. He leaves two sons, Emilus A. and Willard Frank of .South Belmont; two daughters, Mrs. Almatia J. Adams of Chel- sea, Mass., and Mrs. Mary E. McAlister of Burnham, aMe.;! one sister, Mrs. Pamelia Bartlett of Searsiuont, Me., and one brother, Ambrose Wellman of Belmont. The funeral was held at 1 p. m. Tuesday7, Nov. 12th, at his home in South Belmont, Rev. A. A. Smith of the Belfast Universalist church officiating.

Mrs. Charlotte M. Washburn died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Edward S. Hayward, No. 79 Milton avenue, Hyde Park, Mass., November 13th, at the age of 82 years and 3 months. She was born in Belfast, her maiden name being Furber, and was the widow of H. (i. O. Washburn. She had been in feeble health for several months, and in June last went to Hyde Park. She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Emma W. Hayward, and one son, Waldo B. Washburn, who were with her when she passed away. Funeral services were held in Hyde Park Friday afternoon and the remains were brought to Belfast Saturday for interment in Grove Cemetery.

FIRE IN ODD FELLOWS BLOCK.

A. A. Howes A Co*s Stock Damaged by Fire, Smoke and Water. Bnrkett’s Dry Goods Store Filled with Smoke and Flooded with Water.

Yesterday, Wednesday, afternoon, about 2 o’clock, a fire started in the cellar of A. A. Howes & Co.’s store in Odd Fellows’ block, from the explosion of a lantern.

The fire appeared to be near the rear of the cellar and six streams of water were turned on, but the smoke was so thick the fireman were unable to pet into the cellar for more than two feet, and they could not locate the fire. At 4 p. m., the flames had worked through the floor, and the fire was

thought to be under control, but a little later it broke out in Burkett’s carpet room and Odd Fellows’ Hall.

The occupants of the oftices in the second story had before this moved out their books, papers and furniture. They were

Judge Geo. E. Johnson, Judge R. W. Rogers, W. P. Thompson, Esq., and Drs. S. W. Johnson and J. C. Ham. The third story was occupied by the Odd Fellows who removed some of their effects.

Burkett moved some of his goods, but much of his stock was damaged by smoke and water.

At half-past four the fire had apparently penetrated to every part of the building through the partitions, and the firemen were pouring in streams of water where- ever they were needed. Fire extinguishers were also used, and when The Journal went to press it was thought the building would be saved, though badly damaged. No estimate could then be made of the losses.

High School Notes.

There was no school last Thursday on account of the storm.

Monday morning recitations were made on the first part of the books for required reading this term.

The Senior Literature class has finished the study of “Julius Ceasar” and is now

reading “Merchant of Venice.”

The Sophomores had a class meeting Mon- day.

The class of ’02 recently elected officers for the Senior year. Mr. F'ernald was elected president and Miss Pilsbury secretary and treasurer.

The Senior class has finished studying the Astronomy text book. Work in observa- tion will be continued, however, through the year.

A copy of “The Beacon,” the bi-monthly paper published by the Senior class of the Chelsea High School, has recently been received. It contains Current Topics, Bat- talion, Athletic, Personal and Exchange departments, as well as some creditable short stories, all of which are interesting and well edited. We congratulate C. II. S. on its organ, and hope at some future date that our own school will be as well represented.

A THRILLING EPISODE. Five-Senior girls each upon a chair,

But when, and wherefore were they there ? A tiny mouse on the floor was seen,

Not the length of a finger, and small and lean.

However, once the alarm was given To reach highest altitude each had striven.

A shriek, bloodcurdling and thrilling rent the air,

Followed by giggles from maidens fair. Enter the principal. Exit the maids;

Exit also the mouse from his bloodthirsty raids.

Moral: If favor you wish with the girls of naught-

two We'll tell you what you must never do

Never on any account mention the story Of the girls and the mouse in the labora-

tory. Each class that has been graduated from

the Indianapolis High School has left something of value—a painting, clock, or statue —in the building to represent it. The money has been raised in various ways, all more or less unique, but this year the class decided upon the popular craze of the day, and held a street fair in the halls of the building.

The corridors were gay with the carnival colors, yellow and red, and the figures 1901, made of electric lights, gleamed from a prominent point of view.

There were candy, art, fancy work, ice cream and sandwich booths, attended by girls in costume. An X-Kav machine netted a good profit, as did the shadowgraph pictures and the palmist, Mme. Wing-Ting-F'u, while the Midway with its sideshows and elephant (a wooden but lifelike affair pulled and pushed by two enterprising students at “five cents a ride,” evoked great applause.

A cantinuous vaudeville performance in the assembly room also attracted a merry crowd.

Altogether the Street Fair has been a great success and the stereopticon with which the class planned to endow their Alma Ma- ter is an assured fact.

We pass the idea along for adoption in other schools.—McCall’s Magazine.

The National Grange. When the National Grange was called to

order at Kora Temple hall, Lewiston, Nov. 13th, by National Master Aaron Jones, about thirty States were reported by fifty delegates, with a large attendance of members of the order from all over Maine and New England. The forenoon session was devoted to speeches of welcome .ind responses. Among them was a speech from Jabel Robinson, worthy master of the Dominion of Canada grange, bearing messages of a fraternal nature. This was responded to by George W. Bowen of Connecticut, High Priest of the Order of Demeter. Speeches of a fraternal nature were made by other prominent members and officers of the Na- tional and state granges. At 2 p. m. a

Sublie meeting was held in City flail and ational Master Jones delivered his annual

address. The secretary reported Nov. 14th that during the year 192 new granges were instituted, Michigan leading with 58, and Maine and Ohio following with 19 each. The report of the treasurer shows total re- ceipts of $21,936 and expenditures of $17,- 572. New York paid $2,045 and Maine $1,- 363. In the afternoon the first, second and third degrees were exemplified, and in the evening the fourth degree was worked bv the East Auburn team. Immediately following the sixth degree was worked by the State Grange, over 600 taking the degree. The special feature Friday was work in the seventh degree—the Priests of Demeter— two sessions being devoted to this, distinct from the meetings of the Grange. The work was conducted by George Austin Bowen, worthy high priest of the order, and the number of candidates was so large that two sessions were held, one in the afternoon and another in the evening. The sessions of the National Grange were devoted to general business and the consideration of resolutions touching national legislation in Grange interests. Thursday an excursion was made to Bemis and Saturday to Poland Springs. No session was held Monday as the National Grange visited Bath. Tuesday a trip was made to Augusta, and yesterday afternoon several hundred patrons, who were kept away by last week’s big storm, were given the seventh degree.

Liberty. Of course we expected winter, but did not expect it so soon. The snow is more than a foot deep in the woods in this vicinity, and many of the roads leading to this village were so blocked with snow that I they had to be broken out. Mails from I Waldoboro and the Branch Mills were 20 hours late. But it is an ill wind that blows no one any good. By reason of the snow hunters were able to track the deer. L. 0. Morse shot one that weighed 264< pounds, and Steve Bagley shot one on the same day that was about 100 pounds less in weight. Two were shot by the people at McFarland’s Corner, and many of us are getting outside of venison “who had never been there before.” Now that it is close time the county is all dotted over with deer tracks_T.

weighed off 267,810 pounds of salt cod as the result of her recent handline dory trip, stocking $8,972.54.

The schooner sailed from this port March 23, and at the close of her season, Novem- ber 11, had landed three trips and rolled up the largest stock ever made in the salt bank fishery in a single season.

On the three trips, the Talisman weighed off 745,475 pounds of salt cod, making the enormous stock of $24,291.28. The high line of the orew took $719.02 for his season’s work.

The fish were mostly taken off Sable Island and at the Virgin Rocks, part of one of the fares being secured on “slickers.” —Cape Ann Advertiser.

The United States Hotel, Boston.

Before the death of Mr. Tilly Haynes, long time proprietor of the old “States,” he arranged for a new lease of the property, which has been transferred to his sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. James G. Hickey, whose long association with Mr. Haynes and their thorough knowledge of the business, make them specially fitted to continue the work, so that the same careful attention to guests, excellence of table with moderate charges, and comfortable home- like air—which have made the house famous in the past—will be kept in the future. The old patrons will be as welcome as ever, and the new ones can rest assured of courteous treatment and good care.

ENGLISH PAPERS AND PERIODICALS.

1 visited no newspaper offices in Eng- land or Scotland; and, in fact, read few

f I newspapers. Time was when I found no more delightful occupation than1 reading exchanges; but when that has been one's life work for nearly half a

century a real vacation implies very little reading or writing. 1 read enough, however, to satisfy myself that the

English newspapers are behind the American press in printing the news. 1 do not refer here to the stuff printed by our yellow journals, to the columns of

scandals, fakes, etc., but to live, legitimate news, both foreign and local. Nor do they excel in editorial ability. As a

rule less space is devoted to editorials in the leading English journals than in our dailies; and their “leaders” are

usually, ponderous and hard reading to the average American. The London Telegraph is easily the leader among English journals, and has a far larger circulation, but less influence, than the London Times, which has long been

recognized as the chief exponent of

English opinion. The Telegraph has fourteen pages and is sold at one

penny per copy. The first page is devoted wholly to advertising, set in uni- form style, the advertisements varying from three or four lines to that of

many inches in length. The second and third pages are also filled with

advertising, then comes a page of market reports, a page of sporting news, with a display advt. of a patent medicine. On the sixth page is a two column display advertisement of cocoa

and chocolate. The remainder of the page is devoted to court and police news. On the next page is live columns ot local and general news and a two column display advertisement of “Har- lene" for the hair. The eighth page has two columns of news summary and editorial. following live columns of amuse- ment advertisements. I in the opposite page is cable, telegraphic, general news and correspondence. The tenth page is similarly made up. There is half a page of reading matter on the eleventh page, followed by three and one-half pages of advertising. The Times and Telegraph, as well as the other great London dailies, and the leading newspapers in the larger cities of the Kingdom, have able

correspondents at all important Euro- pean capitals, and of course in South Alrica, and wherever British interests are involved. They report fully all p". nicai gatherings, the meetings of literary and scieutilic societies, the movements ot royalty, etc. Even trivial cases before the police courts are re-

ported with more or less detail; but the minor local happenings and personals which add to the variety and interest of American newspapers are conspicuous by their absence. They publish little news from this country, save such an event as the assassination and deatli of our President, or the races for the America’s cup, while our own papers receive by cable not only the news but the gossip, often trivial, of all Europe. They do not use “scare heads,” have very few display advertisements and do not resort to the typographical freaks in make-up which the writer is old-fashioned enough to condemn in our own

papers. I lie great feature of the dailies and weeklies outside of London is their London correspondence.

The nearest approach to an American newspaper that came to my notice was

the Glasgow Evening News, eight pages, printed on pink paper, and sold at “one halfpenny” (one cent) a copy. Six editions are issued daily. The first page is given over to advertising, but with the exception of the want advertisements on the last page there is more

display than in the advertising columns of the London dailies, while not so

much as with us. The make-up is good, ani the paper is bright and newsy in its contents.

A memento of a brief visit to Bel- fast, J reland, is a copy of The Ulster Echo, of Saturday, Sept. 21, liioi, an

evening daily, four pages, “price one

halfpenny.” It is not a handsome paper typographically, nor particularly noticeable otherwise. It has three columns of reading matter, miscellany, on the first page, and a like amount on second page, including “Notes and No- tions,” and “Political and Personal.” On the third page is a quarter of a

column editorial captioned “Another Mishap” and relating to a British re-

verse in South Africa. Then follows two columns of news—Friday’s, evidently taken from morning papers— sporting news and markets. There was

no news of Belfast’s busy shipyards other than reference to an unfounded rumor that the White Star line contemplated building a steamship 590 tons

larger than the Celtic. The fourth, and last page contains miscellaneous clip- pings under such captions as “Our

Express,” “Views and Keviews,” “About Men and Women,” etc., and two very conspicuous display advertisements, one of Van Houten’s Cocoa and the other of Ogdon’s Guinea Gold Cigarettes, the latter occupying nearly one quarter of the page.

In Leamington 1 bought a copy of the

Sunday Sun and Weekly Sun of London and found it chiefly remarkable for its

paucity of news. It is a ten-page paper with three wide columns to a page, and the subscription price is 6s 6d per year (about $1.62 in our money); single copies one penny. On the first page is a list of “Preachers in London Today,” and the remainder of the space is devoted to a very eulogistic review of Kipling’s latest book, “Kim.” I had just read in a leading London daily— The News, I think—a column of scath-

ing criticism of this same work, and with which I heartily agreed. But to return to the London Sun. The second and third pages are devoted to corre-

spondence and miscellany, including a

short story and a column of book news.

The fourth page is half advertising, and under the editorial head is a “leader” on "Liberalism and the Irish Party.”

Poison Oak Poison ivy are among the best known of the many dangerous wild plants and shrubs. To touch or handle them quickly produces swelling and inflammation with in- tense itching and burning of the skin. The eruption soon disappears, the sufferer hopes forever; but almost as soon as the little blisters and pustules appeared the poison had reached the blood, and will break out at regular Intervals and each time in a more aggra- vated form. This poison will loiter in the system for years, and every atom of it must be forced out of the blood before you can expect a perfect, permanent cure.

€? O C1 Narirc>s A|t|d°tc

dOvNitire’j Poisons, is the only cure for Poison Oak, Poison Ivy, and all noxious plants. It is com-

posed exclusively of roots and herbs. Now is the time to get the poison out of your system, as delay makes your condition worse. Don’t experiment longer with salves, washes and soaps—they never cure.

Mr. 8. M. Marshall, bookkeeper of the Atlanta (Ga.) Gas Light Co., was poisoned with Poison Oak. He took Sulphur, Arsenic and various other drugs, and applied externally numerous lotions and salves with no benefit. At times the swelling and inflammation was so severe he was almost blind. For eight years the poison would break out every season. His condition was much improved after taking one bottle of S. S. S and a few bottles cleared his blood of the poison, and all evidences of the disease disappeared.

People are often poisoned without knowing when or how. Explain your case

fully to our physicians, and they will cheerfully give such information and advice as you require, without charge, and we will send at the same time an interesting book on Blood and Skin Diseases.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA,

A column each of the fifth page is devoted to “The Government and the War,” “The Prospect of an Autumn Session,” and some telegrams and statistics concerning the war in South Africa. Correspondence, market re-

ports, sporting news and miscellany occupy the remaining pages, with an occasional advertisement, including St. Jacobs Oil, Carter’s Little Liver Pills and Quaker Oats. Anything more un- like our own Sunday papers than the Sunday Sun of London can hardly be imagined.

Periodicals, weekly and monthly, are even more numerous in Great Britain than in tins country, and range in price from a penny to two shillings per copy. ! it would oe useless to attempt to enu-1 meratethem. Although it is generally j conceded that our magazines are the best in the world some of the English monthlies are not far behind them in point of interest, and show a decided advance, pictorially and typographically, over tiie issues of a few years ago. The penny publications are legion. Among the best known are Tit-Bits, Answers and M. A. P., these initals standing for “Mainly About People.” The full title of the first named publication is “Tit-bits from all the most interesting books, periodicals and contributors in the world.” Under the heading, and running across the page in black letters, we read: “One Guinea per Column is Paid for Original Con- tributions to this Paper;” and else- j where is “Our Premium Page,” and ;

two guineas per column arc paid for! articles printed on this page. The contents include stories, jokes, miscellany, answers to correspondents, etc. I bought a copy to read on the train and found this paragraph in the answers to correspondents:

Pen5iax has practiced microscopic writing with so much success that he is j able to write a chapter of the Bible (he doesn’t say how long the chapter is) on 1

a space which a half a crown would cover, and he wishes to know whether ! he could turn his gift to profitable account,-We are afraid not. The market for this kind of skill, is so far as we know, non-existent. There is, we beiieve, an old man in America who can write a whole copy of Tit-Bits on a post-card. The Iliad of Homer has been copied so microscopically that it was put in a nutshell; Peter Bates produced a liliputian copy of the Bible which he enclosed in a' walnut-shell; and there is in the library of St. John’s college, Cambridge, a drawing of the head of Charles I., the lines of which contain the Book of Psalms, the Creed, and the Lord’s Prayer; but we never heard that any of these microscopic penmen made any money at all com- mensurate with their trouble.

The “old man in America” is of course Hila Kittridge of this city.

Of the more or less humorous journals. Punch, July and Fun are the leaders. I read with care two of the weekly issues of Punch and Judy and failed to find a single bright thing in either of them. Their jokes were inane, their comic pictures sepulchral and their car- toons weak alike in drawing and in subject. Punch has fallen from its once

high estate into the depths of common-

place. Leech, Tenniel, DuMaurierand other famous artists have no successors, and in contributors there is a like falling off from Thackeray, Hood, Horace May- hew, et al., whose wit once sparkled in the now dull pages. This from London Fun is not so bad:

“Why is a merchant who does not advertise like a man in a rowboat?” asked the student.

“Keeps going backward,” guessed his friend.

“No; he is trying to get along without sales,” said the student.

While in the large cities there are

little shops where newspapers and

periodicals are sold, in most places you must go to the railway stations for them. In Edinburgh I went into a large book store near the hotel for a copy of a magazine and found they did not

keep them and I had to go to the railway station. The newsboys are not

conspicuous or noisy, as a rule. In Glasgow we could not understand the newsboys’ cries; in Leamington they called “fire,” which nearly created a

panic in our party. On enquiry we were told that the newsboys had adopted this cry as it was an easy word to use. But just imagine what would happen if the army of newsboys in New York or Boston should Jrushi through the streets shouting fire? j

We have often alluded to the importance of farmers giving more attention to finding a market for their products, or rather sending their products to market in a presentable and attractive form. It is all well enough to say that butter tastes as well from a tub, if the tub be clean and wholesome, as if put up in pound bricks, neatly labelled and carefully wrapped in parchment paper. Granted for the sake of the arguuieut that it does taste as well, it is an ac-

knowledged fact that it does not sell as well, so that ends the whole argument. People have just begun to understand the importance of sending goods to market in their most presentable form.—Turf, Farm and Home.

That is good advice, and it loses none

of its goodness by age. If followed it would in many cases decide the question, “Does farming pay,” in the affirm- ative. More articles are sold on their looks than on their quality. A bright red strawberry will sell quickly, while a darker colored and more luscious berry will remain unsold. A good arti-

cle attractively put up is a winner every time.

I spent most of my first day at the fair trying to find some one who knew the significance of the name Pan-Ameri- can. Not one that I asked did and the wild guesses that were made trying to give me an answer were funny. It had never occurred to most of them that it had any significance, or that any mean-

ing whatever was attached to the prefix.—H. M. S.

Well, well, to think after we have had a Pan-American Congress, due to James G. Blaine, and a Pan-American Commis- sion at Washington for years before the

Exposition at Buffalo, that {he bright editor of the Bar Harbor Record should not have learned all there was to know about the name of the Pan-American,or All-American Exposition,

Edgar Stanton Maclay, the author of “A History of the United States Navy,” who is still working as a clerk in the Brooklyn navy yard, is preparing to make changes in his history if Bear Admiral Schley is exonerated. He said in an interview: "I am awaiting the decision of the court before putting out the revised edition of the history. If the court exonerates Admiral Scliley and clears him of all discredit I will at once cut out that portion of the third volume which is detrimental to him.”

It will be a surprise to many that this fellow is still drawing pay from the United States government. He should have been dismissed long ago.

The Bev. McAllister of Portland throws up his job at preaching the gos- pel at Pine Street Methodist Church and goes into politics all over. McAl- lister lias been nominated as the citizen candidate for mayor in Portland and will stir up the animals in bis charac- teristic way. McAllister is credited with electing Pearson and lias an exceedingly enlarged cranium just at present.—Brunswick Telegraph

His cranium will come down to its normal size no doubt after election clay, when Mayor Bootliby will be chosen to succeed himself.

Modern Surgery Surpassed. “While suffering from a bad ease of piles

I consulted a physician who advised me to | try a box of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve,” j says G F. Carter, Atlanta, Ga. “I procur- ! ed a box and was entirely cured. Dewitt’s Witch Hazel Salve is a splendid cure for piles, giving relief instantly, and 1 heartily recommend it to all sufferers.” Surgery is uun. cessary to cure piles. DeWitt’s <Witch Hazel Salve will cure any case. Cut, burns, bruises and all other wounds are also quick- lv cured by it. Beware of counterfeits. K. II. Moody._ 1

Maine Apples at Buffalo.

Who Tells the Truth?

Prof. L. C. Bateman, a representative of the Lewiston Journal, recently wrote that paper a description of Phiu- j eas Whitter’s orchards; also of tlie ap- j pies seen in the grange hall in Chester- ville, in which he said he “wished the Pan-American could have had an exhibit of apples lise these.” Continuing he commented tliusly: “Two or three bushels of scrawny and shriveled up last year’s apples were placed by the 1

side of the magnificent exhibit of Missouri in the horticultural building. Yes, we got a bronze medal there; that was the meanest thing they had to give, and even that was grudgingly given. It is a great question if that Pan-Amer- ican ‘exhibit’ has not been a positive damage to the fruit growing industry in :

Maine.” Now read the following clipping from I

the Rural New Yorker, handed us by Sec. 1>. H. Knowlton of the State pomological society;

“The exhibit of apples made at the Pan-American exposition by the Maine ! pnmological society made a very effective display. The society tried to show the commercial apples of Maine, and made no effort to collect abnormal specimens. This business-like exhibit showed all the color and beauty of the fruit from the far west, with far su-

perior flavor and keeping quality. Spec- imens of the crop of ltKMi were in ex-

cellent condition—one barrel of last year’s bald wins opened September 18 showing 87 per cent, perfect fruit! We have never been able to understand why the people of Maine are so modest about showing their magnificent apples. The display at Buffalo attracted much attention, but the pomological society ought to have had 50 times as much money as they did have for showing their fruit. As it was, there was

nothing finer in the horticultural hall.” And in a personal letter to Mr.

Knowlton, the editor further stated: “1 can assure you that there was nothing in the horticultural hall to compare with those beautiful apples from your State; and they attracted a good deal of attention, which was well deserved.” —Farmington Chronicle.

The Kind You Have Always Bought

A Physician Testifies. “I have taken Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and

have never used anything in my life that did me the good that did,” says County Physician Geo. W. Scroggs if Hall County, Ga. “Being a physician I have prescribed it and found it to give the best results.” If the food you eat remains undigested in your stomach it deeays there and poisons the system. You can prevent this by dieting but that means starvation. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat. You need suffer from neither dyspepsia nor starvation. The worst case quickly cured. Never fails.

Thd girl came with the rifle and her mother with the cartridges and they held the horse while Mr. Ridley circled around the edge of the woods where the deer were, and within a hundred yards or thereabouts he saw them both and aimed foj the buck. The bullet struck him in the neck and brought him down in his tracks. The most singular thing about this is that Mr. Ridley is not a

crack shot. He had only had his rifle a

week, and it was a second-hand 32 Rem- ington rifle. The expert and costly rifle owners said it was only fit to shoot rats. But Mr. Ridley got a big buck with fine

lofty horns, and within five minutes time. Twenty minutes will cover all the time until the deer was in the barn. Chance shot hunters had better have a good jack- knife, for Mr. Ridley did not speak very highly of his. If he had had a breech loader, and his luck held on, he could have

cess in every way. Friday afternoon Mr. Nelson took a span of horses and hay rack and with his Hock of twenty-five pupils went to Carr’s Corner. Judging from the noise they had a fine time. They shouted and cheered, blew tin horns, rang cowbells, drummed on tin pans, etc. The two teachers joined in furnishing a treat of candy.

MOROCCO IN THE 20th CENTURY.

Information Up to Date Concerning one of the Least Known Empires, Mogador, Mo- rocco's only Sea-Fort on Six Hundred Miles of Atlantic Coast.

[Special Correspondence of The Journal.]

City of Morocco, October 5, 1901. The native name of this vast empire— Mngh-rib-el-Aksa, meaning “The Ex- treme East”—indicates its geographical position. Occupying the northwest corner of the African continent, it has fully six hundred miles of Atlantic coast, and about half that distance bordering the Mediterranean. Correct- ly speaking, Morocco is three kingdoms in one, with three distinct capitals, which are visited in turn by the Sultan and his army.

Having laid a glimpse of Fez, the most important of the trio of royal cities, we decided to see something of tins southernmost capital. To reach the City of Morocco you may patronize the comparatively new coast railway; or choose the older, slower and cheaper transit of the ocean—by coasting vessel through the Strait of Gibral- tar, around Cape Spartel and down the Atlantic to Mogador, the only port on

Morocco’s ocean side; and thence the best way you can, two hundred and lifty miles inland.

The new railroad, by the way, trav- erses the northern.edge of Africa more

than two thousand miles, sending out

spurs and feeders from various points into the desert of Sahara. The latest project, which will undoubtedly be car-

ried through in the near future, is to cross the great desert by a north and south rail-line from Tangier on the Mediterranean away down into mys- terious ITimbuktu. Soon as that feat is accomplished, artesian wells, irrigat- ing canals, and other engineering devices will inevitably follow— all, of

course,constructed by foreigners: when, Presto! Sahara will vanish from the face of the earth, and if the desert does not actually “blossom as the rose,” it will at least become as habitable as our

own Arizona. Already the Sultan of Morocco—that high and mighty poten- tate who has absolute control over the lives and destinies of eight million sub-

jects—has given in to twentieth century progress, not only to the extent of own-

ing a bicycle presented to him by the

enterprising manufacturers), but of or-

dering his hitherto hermetically sealed ports to be opened to the coast trade of the country; jus! a little crack in the door, as it were, sufficient only to let feluccas slip in, bringing fowls, grains, vegetables and other food supplies from

port to port. 1'ntil lately that has never

been permitted, however great the need. Frequently wheat, corn, barley, etc., have been so scarce in the neighborhood el '1 angler that men and beasts died for want of them: while at the same time, farther down the coast- -notably toward 'alii, where the land is surprisingly fer-

tile—grain lias been so over-abundant that it was left to rot in the fields, not

bringing enough profit to pay for neap- ing. Vet not a bushel of it was permitted to he transported to any other

port by sea the only practicable route.

XIogador- known to the Moors as Sue-

lah, Little Picture,” and to the Arabs as 'weera, “The Beautiful”—is by all odds the best built town in Morocco, owing, no doubt, to its later origin. It is as an infant in arms among the hoary African cities, having been built only about two centuries ago, while most of

them, you know, can trace their begin- nings back into the misty past, two thousand years or more. XIogador was

founded by the Sultan Sidi Mohammed ben Abdullah ben Isurad, in honor of sidi Mogdal, one of the most venerated Saints in the Mohammedan catagory, who died in this neighborhood. Iiis tomb is two or three miles south of

XIogador, half way to the village of 1 liahal, and, standingiclose to the ocean, its tall white minaret forms a striking landmark, visible far out on the stormy Atlantic. So, whatever Sidi Mogdal may have left undone in life, he has

certainly performed excellent service to humanity after death, by lifting a

colossal finger to warn mariners away from this rock-bound coast.

Never was a town more oddly situated than Mogador, on a lofty, projecting ridge of rock, which becomes an island in certain frequent states of winds and waves. A sea-wall protects the high- way to Sail!, which otherwise would he

generally under water; and the shallow little bay, forever like a tempest in a

teapot, is said to be sheltered by a near

by island, which serves also as the quar- antine station of western Morocco. The only protection afforded by the

island, however, is in the line of guns, to keep invaders at a respectful dis-

tance, the so-called harbor being ex-

tremely dangerous when too prevalent southwest winds are blowing. At the

best, it is accessible only to smallest

craft, vessels of ordinary size being compelled to anchor far outside, ex-

posed to the full fury of sirocco gales. Hence the port is not much frequented, and would probably never be visited by foreign ships were it not for the line

ostrich feathers, ivory, lion and leopard skins, gold-dust, almonds, wax, wool, and a few other African specialties to

be had here in trade. On three sides of

Mogador stretches a waste of barren sand, with the long swells of the At- lantic beating its rocky foundations in

front, and only a few poor gardens close under its fortified walls to supply a

population of fifteen to twenty thousand. Seen from afar, the snow-white town on its lofty promontory looks rather imposing—an impression which is not diminished by the sight of several strong batteries on the island, a big fort on the land side, and half a dozen towers in the machicolated walls. Entering through one of the narrow gates, you find that the compact little city is re-

markably well built and astonishingly clean—for a Moorish town—with broad

straight streets, some of them actually paved! Besides the outer walls, the

SUCH A CHANGE. Not only in feelings but in looks. The

skin is clear, the eyes are bright, the cheeks are plump. No more pain and misery, no more sick headache, no more

jaundice. What worked the change? Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, which cured the disease of the stomach that prevented proper nutrition, and also cleansed the clogged and sluggish liver.

Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It cures diseases of lungs, heart, liver, and other organs which seem remote from the stomach because many of these diseases have their cause in a diseased condition of the stomach involving the allied organs of digestion and nutrition.

city is divided into three distinct parts, each enclosed by itself within other high walls. The most important quarter contains the citadels, old and new, the government buildings, residences of the l’asha and the foreign consuls and shops of Christian merchants. Xext is the- space given over to mar-

kets, bazaars and caravanseri; and last and meanest, the Mellah, or swarming quarter of the Jews. Water is brought by aqueduct, two or three miles across

the desert from Kseb. Owing to wretch- ed accommodations, crowded with camel trains which have brought the above mentioned ostrich feathers, ivory, etc., to port from the far interior—you will not care to remain in Mogadora minute

longer than is necessary to make ar-

rangements for the overland journey of 1A5 miles to the southern capital.

In these parts you seldom hear the City of Morocco spoken of by the name under which it figures on the maps. The natives call it Marakash; the Span- iards, Mar-roo-ah-ko: the French, Ma- rok. The city, at an elevation of perhaps two thousand feet, is approached across a great, green plain, which looks the greener by contrast to the deserts

passed—for in this land of contradic- tious. barren sands and spots of incred- ible fertility appear to be scattered about haphazard, with no apparent leason for eithe.. This part of the Em- pire happens to be surprisingly pro- ductive, with blooming gardens, rich plantations, olive groves and orchards stretching to the very base of the At- las peaks. The words of the dear old hymn- "Where every prospect pleases and only man is vile”—recur often to mind on this journey. Under the bluest and brightest skies in t lie world, at just the right latitude and elevation for perpetual summer, without excessive heat, the climate is ideal; never a hint of frost in the air; the warmest days tem- pered by ocean breezes, and very rarely the fag ends of the scorching siroccos which make life a burden on the other side of the Atlas range. What a pity that this most beautiful part of Moroc- co, whose dry and even temperature is declared by European physicians to be an almost unfailing panacea for con-

sumptives, should he inaccessible to those whom it would most benefit, because of the undying hostility of the people towards all outsiders. The tierce antipathy of the Arabs for everything denominated "Christian” keeps foreigners in perpetual peril of their lives, besides subjecting them to endless insult and annoyance, which an invalid could not endure.

Nothing more imposing can be imagined than the City of Morocco as seen across the plain, the minarets of its nineteen mosques shining white against the azure sky. The six-mile circuit of its lofty walls lias a huge square tower at every fifty paces—all built of indestructable tappia, (lime, beaten with earth in a case, or frame), on foundations of massive masonry. There are eleven gates in the wall, each specially defended and so narrow as to remind one of the parable concerning the camel and the needle’s eye. The entire space inside is not covered by dwellings, but there are many gardens and large open squares, some of the latter twenty to thirty acres in extent. The streets—like those of Fez, without the vine-clad, cobweb-draped arbors— are excessively narrow, irregular and mostly unpaved. Houses of tappia, with a few of stone, are commonly one- storied: all flat-roofed and whitewashed exteriors, presenting blank walls to the streets, w ith here and there a small, un- glazed aperture, set too high for curious eyes to peer into, doing duty as windows. Vou are particularly struck by the great number of ruins—half the city apparently fallen down, furnishing a sad example of what war, pestilence and misrule can do. Hut you are con-

stantly meeting with proofs of the artistic genius of the early Moors in molded stucco, exquisite wood-carvings, tile work and time-softened colorings. The city, you know, was founded about the year 1070, and in its glory must have been worthy of Haroun al Reasch- id. Its population has dwindled from several hundred thousand to perhaps silxty thousand—the figures being nec-

essarily guessed at, as a census was never taken. Of its sanitary arrange-

ments during all those centuries,—one may say of them as did the old writer in his chapter on the snakes of Ireland —“There are none.” The streets are never cleansed, except by a few of na-

tures scavengers. Windows being re-

garded as a dangerous, if not irreligous innovation, the houses are entirely un-

ventilated and no doubt many seclud- ed women and children in the crowded harems die from sheer lack of fresh air and sunshine. Perhaps it is a wise providence in nature’s economy that female births outnumber males in the proportion of thirteen ,to one, so that the harem supply may not be depleted.

There are several interesting market places in Morocco city, and an immense covered bazaar in which no end of cu-

rious articles are exposed for sale. The palace of the Sultan, outside the walls on the south, occupies, with its depen- deries, about two hundred acres. When the Sultan is absent it is closed and de- serted, one of the most shabby and for- lorn-looking royal residences on earth. Nobody will say when he will swoop down again, like an evil bird of prey, with his wild cavalry clattering at his heels, shooting their seven-foot guns recklessly right and left, regardless of whom they may kill.

El Mellah, the Hebrew quarterof the

city—a walled enclosure, two miles in circuit but more than half in ruins—is set close to the sacred precincts of the Sultan and his army, not by any means as a mark of destination to the sons and daughters of Israel, but so that the hated race may be under constant supervision. It is crowded to suffocation, filthy to the last degree, and the poor Jews of these

parts suffer more indignities, if possible, than their brethren in the other

parts of Africa. Since time out of

mind, this city has been famous for the

extraordinary beauty, softness and pli- ability of the leather manufactured here, to which it has given its name, “Morocco.” One great leather establishment still exists which gives em-

ployment to several hundred “hands,” i not to mention those engaged in rais- J ing the goats whose skins are used. In whatever country you buy shoes of

1

genuine “Morocco,” you can tell by j their color exactly where they were ] made. Those manufactured in Fez are

always red; Tafilelet turns out green ones only; and all the yellow ones come

:

from the City of Morocco. To give the devil his due,—no people in the world can render any skins so soft and white, or dye the leather in such brilliant and durable hues. It is said that in the

tanning they use two species of plants, indigenous to Africa and unknown to other nations, which render even the

tough hides of lions and panthers, soft (

as silk and white as snow.

Though most of the beautiful Moroc- co carpets, which masquerade in

Europe as “Turkish” rugs, and are called by the Moors sherbiah katifah, are

made in the providence of Duealla, a

few are manufactured in this city, and are works of art of the highest order- in iloor coverings. As before mentioned, the soil of this region is proverbial for fertility, unexhausted sirrce remote

antiquity, though constantly cultivat-. ed after most primitive methods, with no regard to rotation of crops or other-

agricultural devices. The weeds are

burned off just before the autumnal rains begin, and afterwards the ground is scratched with a wooden plough drawn by a heifer, bullock, mule or

camel, often two or three of the ill- assorted animals hitched together.

lies ides grain and vegetables, the

region is famous for its fine almonds and olives, dates, grapes, oranges, tobacco, sorghum and cotton. Nearer to the mountains are vast pastures where cattle range, and where the

splendid Arabian horses are bred, whose exportation is forbidden by law. Even the foot hills and higher slopes of the Atlas are utilized as “runs” for the

superior breed of goats whose skins furnish the world-renowned Morocco leather.

TAKEN FROM SCHOOL.

Her Mother Says She Did Not Receive Proper Tleatweut. Mrs. Alice M. Locke Makes a Statement. The Reasou She Did Nut Allow Her Daughter, Grace, to Cou- tmue Going to School.

There has of late been considerable trouble in the schools and not a few girls have been kept at home by their parents on account of it.

One of these is Grace E. Locke, a prepos- sessing Miss of sixteen years. Her motner, Mrs. Alice M. Locke, during an interview on the subject said:

“My daughter is a good girl and 1 have never had any trouble with her. but about six mouths ago 1 was obliged to take her , out of school. She had worked hard and, since her heart had not been good for about ■three years, it had been too much for her. She grew pale and listless, she was tired all the time and the least exertion made her breathe hard. The disease was ameinia and 1 was atrajd of it, but 1 hardly knew what to do, for medicine didn’t seem to be doing her any good.

“but at last we noticed an advertisement in the paper saying that Ur. Williams’ Tink Tills lor Tale Teople would cure diseases arising from impoverished blood, and I made up my mind to have her try them. Her trouble was deep-seated and obstinate and, at iirst, the pills didn't seem to help her much, but she kept on and in a little while she began to feel better. She continued using them till she had taken ten boxes and now she looks and feels like a different person. She is back in school, as well and strong as any of the girls and 1 feel very thankful for what Ur. Williams’ 1 ’ink Tills for Tale Teople have done lor her.”

Mrs. Locke and her daughter live, m

Whitman, .Mass., and many of their neighbors are willing to vouch lor the truth of the above statement. As nearly everybody knows, amemia, the disease from whicn Miss Locke suffered, is a dangerous one to neglect. It is caused by an actual deficiency of the blood, and a watery and oepraved state of that fluid, it is character /.ed by a

pallid complexion, pale lips, dull eyes, tongue and gums bloodless; shortness of breath on slight exertion—especially upon going up stairs; palpitation of the heart; | feeling of impending death; weakness, loss of appetite and ambition; irregular and painful monthly periods. If neglected, it may result in decline and death, or persistent, pernicious amemia—one of the most hopeless of diseases.

The one remedy that has proved itself a

specific for amemia is Dr. Williams* Pink Pills for Pale People. These pills will never fail to effect a cure if used persistent- ly for a reasonable length of time. They are a positive specific not only for amemia, but, acting directly on the blood and nerves, strike at the root of the trouble and cure such disease as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vituo’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, after- effects of the grip, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions and all forms of weakness either in male or female.

CONCERNING CATS.

Among the attractive and interesting books just issued by Houghton, Mifflin & Co., Boston, is The Fireside Sphinx, by Agues Repplier.

“There is a sweet and sunny cornerof the Elysian Fields, where drowse and play forever a little band of cats, whose names, imperishable as their masters’, are household words today,” says Miss Agnes Repplier in her introduction to The Fireside Sphnix. All who love cats, and all who enjoy brilliant writ ing, fascinating illustrations and line book-making, will be glad to know of this new volume.

ft lias been written “in memory of Agrippina,” ttie little gray cat who once upon a time sat upon the writer’s desk, swept her tail across the copy, or patted “with friendly paws the pen as it traveled over the paper.”

Miss Repplier begins the first of her delightful chapters witli the cat of antiquity, there having been, apparently, no cat in the Garden of Eden. As the legend goes, pussy sprang into exist- ence at the Deluge, Noah having been much troubled witli rats and mice in the ark.

Unfortunately the cat did not enter Greece until the glory of that land had waned, and as a toy or plaything. She was carried from Africa to Europe a few hundred years before the Christian era.

Then Miss Repplier tells us of the cat in the dark ages, and here wre have the little beasts associated with witch- craft and other wickedness; but during the Renaissance pussy resumes her sway, being again taken into favor.

Various poets have sung the praises of the cat, especially the French writers, Montaigne, Ronsard, Gautier and Joachim du Bellay. Richelieu, Mazarin and Cardinal VVolsey loved cats, and it is to Francis Augustin Paradis de Mon- crif that we owe our intimate acquaint- ance with the most distinguished cats of the Renaissance. Moncrif was a faithful lover of the feline race, and in his pages the names of pussies long since dead, live sweetly embalmed in verse.

Miss Repplier is an authority and an enthusiast on cats, and traces their history down to the present time. She treats her subject with the delicate and charming touch that characterizes all her work, and the illustrations by Miss Bonsall are very effective and interesting.

I have a recent photograph of the garden of the Santa Barbara (Cali- fornia) Mission, where the dignified padre who is at the head of the institu- tion watches the gambols of these kit- tens who are perched upon the edge of the beautiful old fountain. Thus pussy seems to have her lovers and friends in all times and ages.—Portland Press.

Maine Ornithological Society.

The seventh annual meeting of the Maine Ornithological Soeiety will be held at the State House, Augusta, Fri- day and Saturday, Nov. 29th and 30th. The program has just been issued by Prof. W m. L. Powers of Gardiner, and is as follows:

Arrive in Augusta Friday forenoon, and visit Frank Noble’s collection. 1.30 p. m., business meeting in fish and game commissioners’ room; S o’clock p. m., exhibition of slides in Represen- tatives Hall by Prof. Lee.

Saturday morning, 9 o’clock, report of the secretary-treasurer, election of officers and presentation of scientific papers in fish and game commissioners’ room; 1.80, unfinished business.

Return home on afternoon trains. Each member is requested to bring

Rural Free Delivery. In his annual report Postmaster Gen-

eral Smith will ask for an increase of the appropriation for the rural free delivery service from the present sum'of $3,500,000 to $0,000,000 and will advocate the extension of the service as far as practicable. He will express the opinion that this branch of the work of the department is of the greatest utility and will plead for most liberal legislation on the part of Congress. lie will explain in some detail the recent action of the department in the matter of second class mail matter, taking the position that the law granting a rate of one cent per pound contemplated benefit only to absolutely legitimate newspapers with legitimate subscription lists.

The Boston Journal’s list of Xew England couples who have celebrated their golden weddings has reached a total of 81.8 and is still growing. Placed against the divorce court proceedings these statistics are as a light in the gloom, a breath of pure air in a noisome dungeon. Evidently marriage is not altogether a failure.

By advice of Lord Roberts, the lance and sabre are to be replaced in the English cavalry by rifles, and the in- fantry are to be mounted.

The town of Pugwasb, Nova Scotia, lately devasted by fire, is now receiving a roasting from the newspapers because of its name. This is hard lines.

There is money in hogs this year, so the farm papers say; and Farm and Home predicts that pork will rule high for some time to come. Evidently the farmers have struck a bonanza this year.

“The Business Side of a University” is the title of a recent article in the Saturday Evening Post. AVe should say that the business side of a university was the getting of a million or two from Carnegie.

A Western genius who styles himself “The Editor’s Friend" offers for a modest compensation to furnish “prime selections and original articles; meat in in every item.” We notice he captions an article about corn stalks “Corn Stocks," and are disinclined to take any stock in his contributions.

The Maine Farmer has attained the age of three score years and ten, and is growing younger and more vigorous, every year.—Boothbav Register.

Guess you did not mean just that, Bro. Kendrick: We are all—newspapers and editors alike—growing older; but let us hope that the most of us, like the venerable Maine Farmer, are bearing our years lightly, while our hearts re- tain some of the lightness of youth.

The yellow journals, and some that are not so yellow, are much given to publishing alleged facts and statistics to prove that Maine is a rum-cursed -State, despite the prohibitory law, and that her people are confirmed inebriates. Here is a little incident that illustrates the sturdy Maine character. In an account of the rescue of the crew of the schooner Florida by the steamer North star we read:

Much to the surprise of those on board the steamer none of the rescued men would take a swallow of whiskey. The men were pretty well used up, but even in their half frozen ai d exhausted condition they could not be prevailed uiion to take the stimulant. “We thank you,” they said, “but we never use it.” On the lapel of Capt. Greenlaw’s coat was a Christian Endeavor button.

The National W. C. T. U. convention met last week in Fort Worth, Texas, Wednesday afternoon a joint meeting of the executive board, composed of State presidents and general officers and superintendents of departments, was held. A press despatch says:

The most important topic to come up for discussion was for the use of the name and symbol of the W. C. T. U. by manufacturers of remedies of various kinds. One request had come from the proprietor of a brand of whiskey, asking permission to use the white ribbon on iiis goods. It was decided unani- mously not to allow the use of the name and of the while ribbon symbol of the W. C. T. U. in any way not contemplated in the original purpose of the organization.

Surely these good women must have been imposed upon by some mad wag. Could any one suppose such a thing as

tliis temperance organization sanction- ing the W. C. T. U. brand of whiskey, with a white ribbon tied around the neck of the bottle?

In the October number of The Era Joseph Dana Miller writes of popular works that have been forgotten. He says:

Hut the most remarkably circulated 'work in American literary history is

‘Ida May” by Mrs. Mary H. Pike, of1 which (K),000 copies were sold in eighteen months. As this was in 1854, it is doubtful, when we reflect that our population was much less than half what it is to- day, if the recoid of any subsequent book very much surpasses it. “Ida May” was the forerunner of “Uncle Tom's Cabin.”

Mrs. Stowe began the publication of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” in the New Era of Washington, D. C., in 1850, and in 1852 it appeared in book form. “Ida May” was published two years later, and its large sale was due less to literary merit that to the fact that it followed the line suggested by Mrs. Stowe and appealed to the growing anti-slavery sentiment. A subsequent novel by Mrs. Pike, who was a native of Calais

All important conference of business men is now in session at Washington, 1). €., under the name of the National Reciprocity Convention. It was called a month ago by the Board of Trade of Philadelphia as a direct outgrowth of the reciprocity agitation that was started by President McKinley’s now famous ■‘last speech” at Buffalo, and of Presi- dent Roosevelt’s solemn declaration on

taking the oath of office that he would follow unbroken the policy of his pre- decessor. In a broad sense, the chief aim and purpose of the convention is to interpret for Congress, the nation and the world, the economic policy pro- claimed by the martyred President a

-few hours before he was struck down by the assassin’s bullet, -and to show that in his Buffalo speech he did not mean to define any new doctrines for his party or to start the country on un-

marked and untried paths, as is so clam- orously declared to have been his mean-

ing by publicists and politicians who are not in harmony with the main tenets of the Republican faith, and who never did understand McKinley and the other statesmen who worked with him in building up the present im- pregnable fiscal policy through which the United States has become the most

.prosperous nation in the world.

IN KING BDWAKD'S DOMAIN.

Notes of a Six Weeks* Trip to England, and Scotland.

IV.

Although the next morning was damp and showery, we had imbibed some of the Englishman’s oblivion to anything less than a down-pour, and after an

early breakfast made our plans for the

day. Tne party separated into two

groups, one intending to start for the International Exhibition grounds at

ten, and the other at twelve. The Bel-, fast party was in the first division, and, determined to make the most of our

time, two of us started out to inspect the business part of the town. As we

were sauntering along one of the principal streets we came upon a tiny little shop, tucked in between two larger ones, but with the most bewildering display of Florentine mosaics, Russian enameled ornaments and jewelry of every description in its narrow little window. Entering we were greeted with a profound bow and “Good morn-

ing” by an extremely dark gentleman with a delightful manner. He displayed his choicest goods, and when my companion exclaimed, “Isn’t that cute!” over a particularly attractive article he beamed with joy. “Ah!” he said, with a delightedsmile, “youare Americans!” We confessed that we were, and in answer to his query, “What part Amer- ica you come from?” replied, “The State of Maine,” expecting a blank look iu return for our information. Imagine our surprise, however, when he joyful- ly repeated, “Ze State of Maine! All! I have been zare! Agoosta, Waterville, Bangor, Portland, which you come

from?” We explained that while we lived in neither of the places he men-

tioned we were familiar with them all and were as sorry as lie seemed to be that Belfast was not included in the list. He told us that he was born in

Algiers, but had lived in the United States a great deal. “I haf been what you call ‘out West’ and I lifed in ze

South, also,” he said, and mentioned | most of oilr large cities, in which he had carried on business. America is ze

grand country!” he exclaimed, and after that tribute we felt obliged to reward his judgment by making a few purchases. After promising to come

again and bring Our friends we were bidden “good morning” in a very cere- monious manner, and escaped to the street and retraced our steps toward the Hotel, confessing to each other how- pleasant it seemed to exchange a few- words about the home-land, even witli a

traveling Moor. The sun was now shining brightly and

we found the others of the party at the hotel awaiting our arrival to start for the fair grounds. Taking a “tram” marked “Exhibition” we were soon under way, and after passing through the busy streets,lined with attractive shops, we finally stopped before an enormous white building with a gilt dome, and bright colored flags flying everywhere. Just at that moment there was a decided breeze accompanying a heavy shower, and the party made a rapid, if not graceful, entrance into the In- dustrial Hall of the Glasgow Inter- national Exhibition. One of our first steps was to buy a program for the day, but the list of attractions and events added to our perplexity as to where to begin. Looking about, we found ourselves in the centre of a

great building. Aisles extended in' every direction, lined with exhibits. It! would be a far easier task to enumerate the tilings that building did not contain j than to tell what it did. Everything ! was there from a miniature ocean liner to a Paris gown, from an automobile to a stick-pin, from precious stones to a

granite-iron sauce-pan. Displays of carriages, of moter cycles and “autos,” exhibits of exquisite Parisian creations, silverware, furniture, leather goods, stalls the size of large rooms complete- ly lined with furs, food products of all kinds, and large exhibits of the products and industries of all the Eng- lish colonies; jewelers, drapers, woolen manufacturers,hard ware dealers,steamship lines; all these and many more were represented. After wandering through the larger part of this immense building, pausing before the specially attractive exhibits, but giving the ma-

jority only a passing glance, we made our exit by a side door, and ascended the steps of the Art Building. There we spent some time with pleasure and profit, looking with interest at the fine loan collection of pictures of histori- cal subjects. Some of Mary, Queen of Scots, famous portraits were there; also samples of her needlework. 'There were many life size portraits of the early Scotch and English monarchs by the old masters that attracted our attention, and we were loath to leave this

interesting place. We wandered about the grounds for

a while, watched the Switchback Rail- way and Canadian Water Chute in

operation, and finally entered the Cana- dian Building. Here we found very fine forestry, game and fish exhibits. As we were rather tired we sat down in a pavilion in the center of the build-

ing, the decorations of which we

found upon examination were entirely composed of com arranged in various artistic designs. After examining the fruit and food products, as well as sev-

eral manufactured articles, including some fine canoes, we found our way to the Japanese building. Here daintily clad little people from the “Land of the Rising Sun” displayed their curios, while others sold the familiar bric-a- brac always associated in our minds with the far east. By this time the inner man demanded some refresh- ment, and after due deliberation we

chose the Royal Bungalow as an at-

tractive looking place. As we were

about to enter we beard the martial Btrains of the bagpipe, and upon con-

sulting our programs found it to be the Pipe Band of the 4th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, which was to play from one to three, thus famishing

Ml Stuffed Up That’s the condition of many sufferers from catarrh, especially in the morning. Great difficulty is experienced in clear- ing the head and throat.

No wonder catarrh causes headache, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, pollutes the breath, deranges the stomach and affects the appetite.

To cure catarrh, treatment must be constitutional—alterative and tonic.

•‘I was afflicted with catarrh. I took medicines of different kinds, giving each a fair trial; but gradually grew worse until I could hardly hear, taste or smell. I then concluded to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and after taking five bottles I was cured and have not bad any return of the disease since.” Ecoeke Forbes, Lebanon, Kan.

us entertaining if not exactly soothing music during our repast. Luncheon over, we obtained chairs and listened to a few more Scdtch airs before starting out for further sight-seeing. The Irish cottage was our objective point, and here we were interested in the beautiful work on linen done by the Irish peasant girls. From there we went through the several Russian buildings, where we found large but rather unin-

teresting exhibits. As it was approach- ing the time agreed upon for meeting our companions we returned to the In- dustrial Building, and finding seats amused ourselves by watching the passing crowd. Our friends soon put in an appearance, and together we went across the grounds and to Machinery Hall, where we were very much interested in the appliances and utensils used in the manufacture of candies of various kinds. The building was full of exhibits of all kinds of machinery, some very handsome engines specially attracting our attention. When we had viewed to our satisfaction the contents of tlie large building we gladly escaped to the out-door air and found a little pavilion where we ordered chocolate, rolls and cake. Tea over, we

strolled about the grounds for a while and then returned to our post of the afternoon, where we were interested in watching the continuous stream of people. At eight o’clock the crowds in the buildings were thinning and we found positions on the steps outside where we could obtain a fine view of the grounds and buildings. Promptly at half-past eight the strings of colored lights fringing all the paths over the grounds were turned on, and soon the lights on the buildings began to appear. First the domes would be outlined in lines of fire, then the towers would stand out in clear relief, until finally the whole building was in a blaze of light. After watching this magic spec- tacle for some time we began to realize that we had had a long and tiring day, and that if we could make our exit before the crowd we would stand a much better chance of getting a car. Acting upon this inspiration we gave one last glance at the fairy-like scene before us and made our way through the crowd to the street. We luckily got seats in a car and were shortly at home and in' bed.

Three of the gentlemen had decided to make a trip to Belfast, Ireland, the next day, and as they were to leave about half-past eight that meant a

comparatively early breakfast for them. When the other members of the party came down, an hour later, it was decided that each should go his own way, some to the Exposition, and others about the town. Four of us concluded that we must do some shopping, and

accordingly set forth to explore the town. One of our first halts was at the little shop of our friend the Moor, who welcomed us with delight and whose companion rejoiced at finding that one of the ladies could converse

with him in French. One of our next 8tops was at a stationers, w’here upon inquiring if they had blank books the clerk replied to the lady, “No, madam, they are all ruled.” We explored the shopping district very thoroughly, and after lunching at a little restuarant vre

returned to the hotel for a rest. Find- ing two of the gentlemen there we decided to take a tram ride around the

city. The “horseshoe route,” so-called, was recommended to us and we beard- ed the car in anticipation of a delightful ride. We certainly saw a good deal of the city, but found, to our disgust and astonishment, that the horseshoe ended in the slums. Luckily, one of our

escorts was able to pilot us back to the

hotel, and we arrived safely, but with a

prejudice against horseshoe routes from which we never quite recovered. The remainder of the afternoon was

spent in a short walk in the vicinity of the hotel and in the reading room, where some bound volumes of “Harp- ers” and the “Century” had been dis- covered. The whole party, with the ex-

ception, ot course, or tne tnree Irish travellers, met at six o’clock, and five of them decided to go to the theatre and see the play, “For Bonnie Scot- land.” As it was Saturday night, the curtain rose at seven o’clock, and we

lost no time in getting a car that would

carry us to our destination. The only good seats available in the house were in the dress circle, or first balcony, and we reached them just as the curtain went up. The play was very interesting, although the plot was rather primitive, but the scenery was fine, and the parts well taken. T he hero was “Bon- nie Prince Charlie” and the scene representing the gathering of the clans was very well presented.

Saturday night in Glasgow is suppos- ed to present terrors for the timid and picturesque sights for the courageous. We took a tram, however, and although we

7

saw poverty in abundance we arrived at the hotel none the worse for the trip; and, although the noise in the streets did not subside until late we came to the conclusion that the Glas- gow Saturday evening is not quite so black as it is painted. Sunday morning we came down to a late breakfast, and made our plans for the day. Some started out to find the nearest church; which proved to be “Saint Enoch’s Parish Church,” where we listened to an excellent sermon and congratulated

ourselves on oiir good fortune in finding Just what we sought—a typical Scotch Presbyterian service. Return- ing to the hotel after the service we again occupied one of the comfortable reading room chairs until the time appointed for the meeting of the party. At two o’clock we started, in a body, for the tram-line that would carry us to Queen’s Park. After a very pretty ride through the city we descended at the Park gates, which we entered in company with the car load of people. We walked up the broad flower-border- ed paths to the highest point of land, where we obtained an extremely fine view of Glasgow and its environs. Af- ter roaming around in the spacious and beautiful grounds and watching the numbers of men, women and children in Sunday garb enjoying the fresh air and freedom of this delightful breath- ing space, we returned to the gate and took a tram for the Botanical Gardens. As these gardens are at the opposite side of the city it was quite a long ride. On arrival we found here the same quiet and well behaved throng that we left behind us, and agreed in thinking that the citizens of Glasgow ought to be exceedingly grateful for these two beautiful recreation grounds. We went through a number of the plant houses, including the palm and cactus houses, which Are found very interesting, and after a stroll about the grounds we boarded a car and were soon at our hotel, ready for dinner. Dinner over each sought their own pleasure and all were ready to retire early, as we had the prospect of rather a hard day before us on the morrow. M. D. P.

THE HEWS OF BELFAST.

The regular meeting, of the School Com- mittee will be held next Monday evening.

Shipments of apples still continue large. The Boston steamers take from 300 to 400

barrels every trip. The Deer Isle Messenger says that the

weir fishermen report the past season the best for several years.

New slate blackboards have been bought for the upper room of the High school and both rooms of the Upper Grammar.

Work was begun Tuesday for placing the new hydrant on Northport avenue opposite the residence of Geo. R. Williamson, Esq.

Flounders were in the market Monday at ).-> ts. per dozen. They were of small size. \ few years ago no flounders were brought

to market except in the early spring. Pitcher and Lancaster have bought and

-hipped during the past three weeks 10,000 bushels of cider apples, a class of produce for which there has never before been any demand for shipment.

Joseph B. Wilson shot a handsome buck on Tileston Wadlin’s farm in Northport last week. It was the largest deer brought into Belfast this season, weighing, dressed, 32g pounds and was sold to Fogg & Brown.

■uving Belfast was 234 feet and 3J inches.

Allen Shaw had a singular experience with his ducks during the snow storm last week. He lives on the Bird place at Little River, and his ducks have the run of the R ire and often swim in the bay. Wednes-

y during the storm they became bewil- lered and swam out instead of in. Mr. '■haw was unable to find them that night, nit the next morning he rowed across in in- direction they were heading when last ■iMi and found them on Moose Point, East

Belfast. They swam nearly three miles in lie storm. As they are very tame lie had H difficulty in getting them home.

“Gorgonzola.” In England aud Scot- land the members of the Elwell party found

cheese very much to their liking, the ma-

j n ity pronouncing it “just the cheese.” It resembles the Roquefort, but is milder in taste, and also in price. It was first suggested, and then urged, that one of the Bel- last party, who is in the grocery business, -liould buy a cheese of this desirable brand and bring it home in his trunk; and possibly some of the party are still under the impression that he did so. Fear of the cus- tmns officers prevented this enterprise, however, as the cheese would surely have revealed its presence, for while acceptable p the palate it is not likely to supersede I lie popular perfumes. But Gorgonzola lieese is to be had on this side of the Atlan- ta and it was included in Swift & Paul's

me stock of table delicacies received by- last Saturday’s boat. Try it.

Shipping Items. The masters ami owners of the large coasting schooners have in- -isted that a clause be put in all their barters on voyages to the Penobscot and

Kennebec River ports, allowing them to go to the nearest port and discharge if the livers look dangerous from ice formation, end send the cargo to its destination by rail. The coal concerns would rather pay a large sum of money in extra freight barges by rail than to have a large schoon-

er nipped in the ice, for the demurrage barges under such conditions would be

enormous-Sch. Thomas Hix sailed Mon- day for Boston with hay from the Belfast Fuel & Ilay Co... Sch. Harriet Rogers loaded hay and coal the first of the week at the Belfast Fuel & Hay Co.’s for Mt. Desert— The sch. Viola Reppard is on Gilohrest’s marine railway for general repairs. She has one feature rarely seen on vessels now, a figure-head representing at full length the woman for whom the vessel was named.... The following charters of local vessels are

reported: Sch. Henry Crosby, New York to San J uan, P. R., general cargo, p. t. Sch. Maggie S. Hart, Apalachicola to Philadel- phia, dry cypress, *6.

RTY years ago the finest tea

famous Garden Tea grown under expert

management. To-day this same tea, each

Dinsmore Sale. The sale of a bankrupt stock of boots and shoe$ advertised in The Journal last week by the Dinsmore Store was successful beyond expectations, and shows what good advertising will do when you have the goods to back it up. The sale is to be continued another week, and the low prices quoted indicate that it will be another record breaker.

Dr. J. K. Wilson, pastor of the Free Street Baptist Church, Portland, will lecture in the Baptist church this, Thursday, evening on Present Day Palestine: The Land of Yesterday in the Light of To-day.

put out without doing any damage. Miss Brown was confined to the house two days by bruises — A lighted lamp was accidentally pulled from a table at the home of Walter Hobbs a few days ago and a fire resulted. It was put out w ith very little damage.

Letter from a Seafarer. Capt. F. P. Whittier of schooner Olive T. Whittier, writes from Ponce. P. R„ under date of Nov. 11th, as follows: “The Journal reaches me with more or less regularity according to the way the mails strike me at the different ports and places. I was much interested in a letter from my old friend Ed. Richardson in one of the bundle of Jour- nals that reached me here. I know he is a

very truthful mariner, but it hardly seems probable to me that people who live on

shore never put racks on their tables, or turn in with their sea boots and oilskins on; but it may be so. I have not tried shore life for so long that I^nay have forgotten. I am glad he gives credit to the Searsport mariners, as we have had many an argument over the standing of his native place and mine. I send you by this mail, under separ- ate cover, copies of a morning and afternoon paper published here which you may not have on your exchange list. I leave here this week for Crandall, Florida, to load for St. Georges, Grenada.

Gold Medal! It will be pleasing information for wearers of Queen Quality Shoes to leam that their favorite footwear won the Gold Medal at the Pan- American Exposition.

SHOES for WOHEN had previously won the distinction of being the most famous shoes in the world and of having the largest sale.

The immense volume of patronage bestowed on these shoes has undoubtedly been due to a number of things—the beautiful leathers, handsome models, great variety of styles, shapes to suit all types of feet, and the fact that the price was *2 le3s than that demanded for similar values, but chiefly because of their

Wonderful Fitting Qualities. It is the combination of Ease and

Elegince that has earned the Queen Quality success and that constitutes this triumph of shoe-

Quick Sailing Passages.

The arrival of the Muskoka, the winner of the race which is reported to have taken place from Portland, Ore., to the United Kingdom recently, serves to remind us that the days of quick sailing are not yet ended, savs the Lon- don Shipping World. In tiie friendly test of skill which has just been concluded, the competitors were the North German Lloyd’s cadet training ship, the 11. 8. Charlotte, the Glasgow ship Marion Light and the Glasgow ship Ardencraig. The winner, under the command of Captain Crowe, made the run from Portland to Queenstown in lot days 20 hours. Satisfactory as this latest sailing record is; it pales before the doings of some of the old-time “cracks,” many of which also performed their speedy voyages with almost clocklike regularity. The Donald Me- Kay, the celebrated “Black Ball” liner, was not only the longest clipper in the world, but was also accounted one of the fastest sailers ever built. Uponi one occasion she took 1,000 troops from Portsmouth to Mauritius in TO and | her average time for six consecutive voyages from Liverpool to Melbourne was 83 days, and only once it exceeded 85 days.

The details of the famous race between the three China tea clippers in I860 are too familiar to need mention- ing here, but the fact that a speed of over 15 knots an hour has been made j by a sailing ship may not be so well known. The British clipper ship Hur- ricane during the course of one of her | voyages home from Melbourne attained 1 this rate of sailing on several days, her best run being 270 knots in 16 1-2 hours. But it was after the ’60’s, and indeed well on to the ’70’s, when, some of the best sailing records were made. And it is doubtful whether the performance of the Sir Lineelot, when she covered 14,- <100 miles in 89 days against the prevail- ing monsoon, has ever been equaled; certainly there are no authentic state- ments to show that it has been surpassed. The voyage was made in 1869, from Foo-Chow-Foo to London, and her best day’s run was 354 statute miles, while crossing the Indian Ocean, the average for one week being 300 miles a day. This was essentially a voyage under adverse conditions. Perhaps the fastest passage between England and China was that made in 1857, when the celebrated American clipper Pride of the Ocean did the run out from the Lizard to Hong Kong in 69 days.

A New Moose Call.

A new kind of moose call is in use down in Washington county. It is the whistling buoy near the entrance of Moosabec Reach and it is said to be the cause of the big bull moose which for several weeks has been known to frequent the seashore in that section, to still linger in that vicinity. With the wind blowing from the east the blasts of the buoy are heard several miles inland, and the sound this distance is said by old hunters to closely resemble the trumpetings of a moose. 11 is alleged even that the wandering moose has been heard to respond with answering call when the sound of the buov is heard.

The Children’s Friend.

You’ll have a cold this winter. Maybe you have one now. Your children will suffer too. For coughs, croup, bronchitis, grip and other winter complaints One Minute Cough Cure never fails. Acts promptly. It is very pleasant to the taste and perfectly harmless. C. B. George, Winchester, Ky., writes, “Our little girl was attacked with croup late one night and was so hoarse she could hardly speak. We gave her a few doses of One Minute Congh Cure. It relieved her immediately and she went to sleep. When she awoke next morning she had no signs of hoarseness or croup.” K. H. Moody.

IRRITABLE WOMEN Should be Pitied — Not Blamed —

Men Don’t Understand How They Suffer When They Cry, “ Oh, Don’t Speak to Me.”

All manner of extravagant expressions are possible w hen a woman’s nerves are overwrought.

The spasm at the top of the wind pipe or bronchial tubes, “ball rising ai the throat,” violent beating of the heart, laughing and crying by turns, muscular spasms (throwing the arms about), frightened by the most insignificant occurrences — are all symptoms of a hysterical condition and serious derangement of the female organs.

Any female complaint may produce hysterics, which must be regarded as a symptom only. The cause, however, yields quickly to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, which acts at once upon the organ afflicted and the nerve centres, dispelling effectually all those distressing symptoms.

Mrs. Lewis Says: «I Feel Like a New Person, Physically and Mentally.”

“ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : — I wish to speak a good word for Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. For years I had ovarian trouble and suffered everything from nervousness, severe headache, and pain in back <},nd abdomen. I had consulted different physicians, but decided to try your medicine, and I soon found it was giving me much relief. I continued its use and now am feeling like a new person, physically and mentally, and am glad to add one more testimonial to the value of your remedy.” — Mrs. M. H. Lewis, 2108 Valentine Ave.. Tremont. New York. N.Y.

Writing to Mrs. Pinkham is the quickest and surest way to get the right advice about all female troubles. Her address is Lynu, Mass. She advises women free. Following is an instance:

Mrs, Haven’s First Letter to Mrs. Pinkham. Dear Mrs. Pinkham : — I would like your advice in regard to my

troubles. I suffer every month at time of menstruation, and flow so much, and for so long that I become very weak, also get very dizzy. I am troubled with a discharge before and after menses, have pains in ovaries so bad sometimes that I can hardly get around, have sore feeling in lower part of bowels, pain in back, bearing-down feeling, a desire to pass urine frequently, with pains in passing it; have leucorrhcea, headache, fainting spells, and sometimes have hysteria. My blood is not in good condition. Hoping to hear from you. I am, Mrs. Emma Haven, 2508 South Ave., Council Bluffs, Iowa.” (June 3, 1S99.)

Mrs. Haven’s Second Letter. Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — I wish to express my gratitude for what you

have done for me. I suffered for four years with womb troubles. Every month I flowed very badly. I got so bad that I could hardly do my work. Was obliged to sit or lie down most of the time. I doctored for a long time, but obtained no relief. I began using your remedies — Lydia E. Pinklia ill's Vegetable Compound, Blood Purifier, Sanative Wash and Liver Pills—and now feel like a new woman.” — Mrs. Emma Haven, 2508 South Ave., Council Bluffs. Iowa. (Feb. 1. 1900.1

Trade with Canada.

With the near approach of Thanks- giving Day, and our heart-felt national appreciation of the wonderful progres- sive condition of our country, we are drawn into a warmer -touch of sym- pathy and feeling toward our Canadian cousins, through the utterances of King Edward VII.

His majesty with that kindly friend- ship he has always exhibited towards the United States, has appointed Thanksgiving Day celebration of the Dominion of Canada, to fall on the same date as in this country.

With a true feeling of thankfulness, why should we not give more consideration towards the expansion of our trade with Canada, through special treaties, and a reciprocity that would be an absolute future safeguard. Ten years ago, the exports from this coun-

try to Canada were valued at $28,000,- 000; while last year they increased to $110,000,000. An import duty is imposed on nearly every article imported from Canada, while it is estimated that 30 per cent, of our manufactures are admitted to Canada free. The Cana- dian market is well worth our cultivation, for the people have tastes in common with us, and our manufactures will naturally go to supply their needs. —Trade Press List.

Mr. W. J. Baxter of North Brook, N. C., says he suffered with piles for fifteen years. He tried many remedies with no results until he used DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve and that quickly cured him. R. H. Moody.

WOMEN IN POLITICS.

The influence which the women ex- erted in the recent election in New York shows that even without the ballot they can make themselves a power in politics. In four States—Colorado, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming—women ljave the privilege of voting in all sorts of elections, from President downward, on the same terms as men. They are allowed to vote on matters of taxation and for school officers in several of the other States. Possibly full suffrage will be granted to women in all of the States some time, although the move- ment to extend their political privileges has recently met with reverses in several States. In some States women themselves opposed it. The crusade, however, is kept up, and the chances that it will make conquests in some of the other States seem to be favorable enough to give a good deal of encour- agement to its advocates.

But the success of the women in the New York election last Tuesday proves that they can exert much sway even without voting. In the New York canvass the women took a very active part. , Of course they were against Tammany. They held meetings in many parts of the city every day. Some of the most effective addresses delivered during that notably stirring campaign were made by women. Their best work w'as through the distribution of circulars throughout the city, showing the enor- mities of the licensed system of black- mail, obscenity, corruption, brigandage and general and particular indecency and atrocity which figures under the name of Tammany government. Near- ly 700,000 circulars appealing to the people to strike down Tammany were distributed by women. Thev were active in every precinct of the "city. To the moral influence of these women is largely due the magnificent victory won by the cause of morality and civi- lization in the country’s metropolis.

It was noticed in the days of the French monarchy that in the nation of Europe in which the barriers were maintained with the greatest rigor against the accession of women to political power the influence of women on the government was greatest. Though they were excluded from the throne of France, they often swayed the occupant of the throne, and in some instances they were the real government of the nation. In the days of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth Louis, female influence was specially powerful in France, though in the fourteenth Louis’ case it did not come until Mme. Main- tenon’s time, in the latter half of that king’s reign. There are many oppor- tunities for women to make their influence potent in the politics of the United States. In municipal elections their chances in this direction are particularly numerous. Their work in as- sisting in the overthrow of Tammany the other day w.as an impressive exam-

ple of the sway which women can exert m the cause of decent government, even when they are without the privilege of the ballot.—St. Louis Globe- Democrat.

THE OAKES DIVORCE CASE.

A ScntaHonal Statement by the Husband.

Another chapter has been added to the sensational Oakes divorce case, now going on in New York city, by a statement made by the husband, FranciB J. Oakes, as to the cause which led to his signing a “certificate of character” as to his wife’s honor. This case is interesting to Knox county people as Mrs. Oakes was born in the town of Apple- ton. Before her marriage she was Ade- laide Sullivan, the daughter of an Ap- pleton farmer, and was a relative of her husband’s former wife.

Mr. Oakes is president of the Oakes Manufacturing Company. His first wife died in 1882, and later he married Luella C. Payne, a divorcee. Mrs. Oakes No. 2, was afterward confined in an asylum, and, securing her release after two years, she sued her husband for divorce. He brought counter suit and won, and a few days later married a cousin of his divorced wife. Wife No. 2 afterward sued Mr. Oakes and the doctors who committed her to the asylum for damages, and Mrs. Oakes No. 3 for alienation of affection. Then followed Mr. Oakes’ suit against his third wife.

In the suit for divorce the husband named Del Sol, a Cuban singer as co- respondent and in the course of the trial Mrs. Oakes’ counsel presented a paper signed by her husband in which he acknowledged that his wife had been true to her marriage vows. The paper was acknowledged by the husband and his statement of the circumstances leading up to the signing of the paper is tli most dramatic feature yet introduced, and shows that the Appleton born woman has considerable tragedy in her make up.

The statement goes on to say that Del Sol had been introduced to his home as a singer by his wife and that he was paid for his services as an artist several times. The visits of Del Sol became so frequent that at last the husband’s suspicions were aroused and last April lie protested with Mrs. Oakes that Del Sol’s visits should cease.

Mr. Oakes statement recounting this scene that followed is as follows:

“She became more and more angry and excited and took another drink of whiskey. It must have turned her brain, for, turning around suddenly, I found lier standing with a water bottle raised as if to brain me.

“Don’t do that!” I cried, and I caught her wrists and forced her from the room.

About half an hour later, just as I was retiring, my wife knocked at the door of my room. “Open the door,” she cried, “or I’ll break it in.”

“Don’t make a noise,” I begged, but she only repeated the threat. I opened the door. She held a revolver in her band and pointed it at my head. With her left hand she pointed to a small table on which were writing materials.

“Sit down,” she commanded, “and write what 1 dictate.”

I did not know whether or not the revolver was loaded, or what it was my wife wanted me to write. I sat down and she dictated.

“I hereby acknowledge that I believe my wife is an honest woman and has been true to her marriage vows.”

1 wrote it out. “Now sign it,” she demanded. “Why, certainly, my dear,” I said,

“that is your right. I have never had any doubt of your honesty or tidelity, but you must remember that ‘Caesar’s wife should be above suspicion.’

'I'lie case is attracting great attention in New York where" the Oakes family rank among the millionaire class.— Rockland Star.

Wives Must Pay.

The supreme court of Illinois has just decided that a wife in that State is liable for the debts of her husband.

The statute on which this decision is based reads as follows:

“The expenses of the family and of the education of the children shall be chargeable upon the property of both husband and wife, or either of them, in favor of the creditors thereof, and in relation thereto they may be sued joint- ly or separately.”

The court had, of course, to define the meaning of the term “family expenses.”

The case that was appealed to the highest court of Illinois was one in which suit had been brought for $100 balance on a tailor’s bill for a $150 suit of clothes furnished the impecunious husband of a woman of means.

The court held that the statute “applies to the expenses of the family without limitation or qualification as to the kind or amount, and without re-

gard to the wealth, habits, or social position of the party; that goods purchased by the husband for his individ- ual use and used by him exclusively constitute a family expense.”

It frequently happens that a man is sued for his wife’s debts and in Georgia he is liable for them unless he has advertised his wife as “a free trader.” It is a new departure to make the

wife responsible for her husband’s debts contracted for supplies to be used by him exclusively. Under the Illinois decision a wife may be held responsible for her husband’s cigar and liquor bills or any others that he may make.

Wives in that State who are blessed with money but are afflicted with cr i ing and extravagant husbands will probably begin to adopt the plan of publishing them as “free traders”— Atlanta Journal.

How Do You Know those baking powders are made

from alum ? Their lower price, their unfamil-

iar names, generally betray them. But it is not necessary for you

to know. You know that Royal does not contain alum, that it makes the best food, that it is pure and healthful. You know that alum

powders are unhealthful. This knowledge is sufficient to enable

you to protect yourself and your family from alum baking powders and the evil results which are cer-

tain to follow their use.

Brad. Curtis met with a serious accident Sunday. He had been on the island gunning some days before and a storm coming up had left his gun to avoid wetting it. Sun- day he and Chester Bailey took a boat and pulled across the cove to get the gun. On his return, in taking the gun from the boat, the hammer caught against an oar, discharg- ing the piece and driving the shot through the side of his leg just above the knee, causing a bad wound. After binding it up Bailey went for assistance and he was brought home and attended by Dr. Larrabee. At last accounts he was doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances-

Obituary. Died at Sailors’ Snug Har- bor, New Brighton, N. Y., Nov. I5tli, Courtney B. Ellis, aged 71 years, !i months, 3 days. Mr. Ellis was born in Searsport, Feb. 12, 1830, and was the son of Jacob and Jane Ellis. He went to sea in the coasting trade before he was twelve years old. At the age of eighteen he shipped in a deep water vessel and became what was called in the old days a “packet sailor." He had probably sailed in more vessels than any man who ever went out of Searsport. He sailed in the Black Ball Line of packets, and was in the Tonawanda, Eastern Queen, Emma Field, Dreadnaught, Bed Jacket, Sheridan, Washington, Henry Flintner Charlotte W. White, Jacob Badger, France, Henry Buck, Lucy A. Nickels, Delphine, Amy A. Lane, Oneida, Elizabeth, and others that we are not sure of. Of qnite a large family the only survivor is a sister, Mrs. Louisa McFarland, living in South Bristol, Me. When Mr. Ellis was not at sea he worked in the ship yards as a rigger, and had no equal as a shantyman. This used to cause annoyance to the school teachers as it was a great temptation to the larger boys to play truant from school that they might hear the riggers, led by Courtney, sing a

shanty as they hove up the mast. Mr. Ellis was a good storv teller, and often related interesting reminiscences of his life in the packet ships. His health began to fail about a year ago and he was recently admitted to the Sailors’ Snug Harbor, but lived only a week after his arrival there.

MARINE MISCELLANY.

Sch. Mary Farrow, Capt. James A. Teel, has tied up at St. George for the winter.

In the U. S. court at Portland Nov. 14, the libel against the Governor Dingley for running into a schooner in the harbor was dismissed.

The overdue ship Roanoke, from Norfolk for San Francisco, with coal, was spoken Sept. 9, lat. 54 S, Ion. 64 W. The Roanoke is 152 days out.

Darien, Ga, Nov. 15. Schr. Celia F., Smith, from this port for New York, while going to sea lost her rudder. A survey was held, which recommended discharge of cargo and making repairs.

Boston, Nov. 18th. Sch. Lizzie J. Clark, Capt. Look, from Addison, Me., for this port, concerning whose safety there has been some little anxiety felt, ar. here Satur- day. The vessel p\it into Portsmouth, where she was harbored during the recent weather. She sustained no damage.

H. M. Bean of Camden has contracted to build a five-masted schooner for Capt. J. G. Crowley, which will be a little larger than the schooner Arthur Seitz launched last summer. She will be two feet wider and one foot larger than the Seitz. Work will be commenced on her in the spring.

In the case of the libel of the sch. Star of the Sea recently by Capt. Pattangall, her former commander, no bond was given as

previously stated, the matter having been amicably settled between the former captain and Crowell & Thurlow of Boston, the managing owners. The schooner cleared from Portland, Nov. 14th, for Trinity Bay, Martinique. I. London, Nov. 18. The German bark Frieda, Hamburg for Sandy Hook, which drifted ashore, has seven feet of water in her and a poor chance of floating. The Frieda was originally the Jennie Darkness and was built at Camden, Me., in 1879. She registered 1,227 tons and hailed from Bre- men, where she was owned by A. Witte.

New York, Nov. 15. The Danish steamer Arkansas, which arrived here to-day from Copenhagen, reports having, on November 12th, in lat. 40.55, long. 67.20, spoken the schooner W. H. Hard, Card, from Bangor, Me., for Wareham, Mass. The schooner had been blown off shore and had been working her wav back after having been 25 days at sea. The Arkansas supplied her with water.

A general rise in freights is reported. This is grand news to shipowners, as the rates during the past year have been very low. The rise, however, applies in a greater measure to the lumber carrying market, and vessels are now getting $3.00, which is a remarkable and almost unexpected jump. Bangor is receiving the greatest benefit from this increase, but Portland is also doing better than she did.—Portland Express.

Vessel Transfers. B. S. Higgins of Bar Harbor has sold his interest in the schooner Emma W. Day to Wellington Bar- bour, A. J. Wallace, E. u. Callahan and others of Bar Harbor. The schooner was

recently rebuilt at Boothbay, her tonnage being almost doubled. She is now a vessel of about ninety tons. Other vessel transfers recently are the schooners Ella Eudora, sold by Abijah Curtis of Surry, to Charles H. Curtis of Ellsworth, and the schooner Lincoln sold by Northport parties to Harry U. Wood of Surry. Frank W. Leland of Mt. Desert has bought the remaining three- quarters of the schooner Napoleon, of which

! he already owned one-quarter. N ew V essels. The four-masted schooner

[ building at McKie’s yard, East Boston, for John S. Emery & Co. of Boston and other*

| will be launched about Nov. 25. She will ! be named Kenwood, after one of the sub- ! urbs of Chicago, where one of the owners

| of the vessel resides. The new vessel is | about 170 feet on the keel, 37 feet beam and I 13 feet depth of hold. She will register about 900 tons— Capt. Simmons of packet

I schooner Kailroad is having a new schooner j built at Hodgdon’s mills for the coasting I trade. The schooner will be a distinct de- 1 pasture from other vessels of her class, in that she will be equipped with a gasolene engine, which will be operated in calm weather-The launching of the five-masted seh. James W. Paul, Jr., at Verona, has been postponed to Nov. 20_The five-masted schooner in the yard of G. G. Losing, Bath, has been named Mary F. Bartlett, and is to be launched Nov. 26. Capt. Sargent of Sargentville is part owner and will command her.

Boston, Nov. 16. The revenue cutter Seminole, anxiety for whose safety has been felt for the past three days, arrived in Bos- ton last night. Her delay was caused by the heavy winds and high seas which prevailed Tuesday, her commander thinking it best to put into Providencetown and not proceed to Boston until the weather moder- ated. She had on board the captain and crew of the sell. Mark Pendleton. The Pendleton was in collision with the Lizzie D. Small Monday night about 7.30, live miles southwest of Highland light and both ships were badly damaged. The Herman Winter took both these schooners in tow and while off Pollock Rip the Mark Pendleton broke her hawser and the Winter proceeded to Chatham with the Lizzie D. Small. The crew of the Pendleton were on board their own craft when she broke away from the Herman Winter, and they worked all night at the pumps and tried to repair the leak. About 9 A. m. Tuesday the crew had to desert the ship, and thev rowed to the Pollock Rip lightship, from which they were taken off by the Seminole. The crew managed to save all their belongings and had not left the ship many minutes when she sank. The vessel did not stay at the bottom but drifted about the channel and it is thought she might be saved, as she has no cargo to bear her down. The captain of the Mark Pen- dleton claimed that the thick mist, heavy winds and high seas caused the accident. The crew of the Pendleton was composed of five men, three white and two colored, and all are in good health and have not suffered from their experience of Monday night. The captain and his brother, who was cook on board the schooner, left for their homes in Deer Isle, Me., shortly after arriving in Boston.

Launched. The four-masted schooner Miles M. Merry, named for one of the veteran master-shipbuilders on the Kennebec, was launched from the yard of Percy & Small, Bath, Nov. 14. This is the 100th vessel the building of which Mr. Merry has super- intended. Her dimensions are: Length, 215.2 feet; width, 43.2 feet; depth, 20.l'feet; gross tonnage 1,589; net, 1,317. She will be commanded by Captain S. G. Tupper of Rockland, who has been sailing in the fleet out of Thomaston for the past two years. Among the vessels he has commanded are the Joseph Fish, Hattie Turner, C. W. Lewis, Grace Bradley, and his last command was the Wm. J. Lermond. He is part owner in the Merry.Sch. Annie was launched from the Carleton,Norwood & Co.’s yard, Roekport, Nov. 14th. The firm is now getting out the frame for another four- master, to be begun next spring. Al- though carrying four masts the Annie is but 172.3 feet in length, 37 ft. beam and 13 ft. deep: She is a single decker of 613 gross and 512 net tons and is estimated to carry about 1,000 tons. She cost £40,000 and was built in less than six months under the able direction of Chester L. Pascall of Roekport. John J. Wardwell of Rockland was the designer. The firm of Carleton, Norwood & Co. began building vessels in 1841, and the Annie is the 63d launched at their yard. Some of the finest ships and schooners of their day were built there, among them the Frederick Billings, a ship of 2,628 tons, and when launched in 1885 the largest wooden four-masted ship in the world. Other noted ships built there were the Robert L. Belknap, William H. Macey. Wandering Jew, Jennie Hark- ness (bark) and Richard Parsons: late schooners built were Jamie Carleton, George Twohy, Edward Stearns, Emma Knowlton, Hattie Luce and Adelia T. Carleton. The latter, launched in 1892, and was the last to be built in that yard.

A New Back for an Old One-.How it is L'one in Belfast.

Sometimes tlie back aches with a dull, inde- scribable feeling, making you weary and rest- less ; sometimes pain shoots across the region of the kidneys, and again the loins are so lame to stoop is agony. No use plastering or rubbing the back in this condition. You cannot reach the cause. To exchange a bad back for a new and stronger one, follow the example of this Belfast citizen:

Mr. C. H. Chamberlain of High street, over on Primrose Hill, says: “I had kidney complaint for years, in fact my back was never very strong. I had pain just over the kidneys, particularly notice able in the morning for an hour or two just after I got up. I am quite a heavy man, and if 1 stood any length of time my back felt tired and sore. Then at my work, getting in and out of a carriage so often and riding over rough roads, does not help a lame back. If I caught cold it always settled in my loins and then a weakness of the kidney secretions was apparent, very annoying day or night. 1 used plasters, more or less, bi t they only helped the pain when on. I saw Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised and I got a box at Ed- mund Wilson’s drug store and used them. It did me good. The improvement continued as I continued the treatment. The pain was much relieved and I was less annoyed with the kidney secretions.”

A GREAT SINGER’S NARROW ESCAPE.

His Voice Was About Lost—Physicians Failed—Peruna as a Last Resort Brought Back Health and Strength.

PROF. FRITZ VOLLMER, PRESIDENT SCHW^EBISCHER SINGERBFND. OF CHICAGO, ILLS., SAVED FROM ENTIRE LOSS OF VOICE BY PERUNA. I______

Iff ANY PEOPLE can tolerate slight IV\ catarrhal affections. But this is

not true of the public speaker or

singer. His voice must always be clear, lungs perfect, digestion undisturbed. Hence the popularity of Peruna among the leading professional men and women of the country.

Fritz Vollmer, President Schwre- bischer Ssengerbund, Chicago, in a re-

oent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., says:

“/ was greatly troubled for weeks with throat trouble which the doctors defined as catarrh, but could only give me temporary relief.

“My voice was badly affected and / was afraid 1 would lose It entirely. 1 read of some of the wonderful things your Peruna would do and thought It advisable to try some myself.

“I am pleased to state that In a

very short time 1 was cured.”— FRITZ VOLLMER. J

An Opera Singer’s Experience. Miss Jennie Hawley, a contralto

singer of great popularity in comic opera, is one of the many professional singers who use Peruna. She writes:

Riggs House, Washington, D. C-. “I regard Peruna as invaluablo to

singers and actresses, and all persons who use their voices in entertaining ths public. I have found it excellent for a cold or cough.”—Jennie Hawley.

Ex-Congressman C. Pelham, of Ban- croft, V a., writes:

“My sister-in-law has been suffering from catarrh of the throat for a considerable time. She has been using Peruna for about one week, and is manifestly improved. I believe it is an excellent remedy for catarrh.”—C. Pelham.

Not only is Peruna of untold value In cases of laryngitis, but a bottle of Peru- na rightly used in the family during the winter months is of value untold. Peru- na cures colds, cures coughs, cures la grippe, cures all diseases due to catarrhal congestions of the mucous membranes.

Address The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, O., for a copy of Dr. Hart- man’s latest book on catarrh.
