An article on St. Gabriel’s Catholic parish, Winterport, in the June issue of the Maine

Catholic Magazine, by Rev. M. W. Reilly, nar-

rates a little of the early history of Winter-

port and then tells of the establishment of the Catholic church in that town and of its suc-

cessive pastors. Special prominence is given to Rev. P. J. Garrity, who for 20 years, begin- ing June 11,1888, was the pastor of St.Gabriel’s. Of the church in Belfast Father Reilly says:

In the summer of 1891 a church was Degun at

Belfast under the supervision of Father Gar-

rity. A generous Catholic citizen, W illiam S. Brannigan, preferring to have a monument to

his memory in the haunts of the living rather than hidden away in the city of the dead, do- nated from his hard-earned fortune asuflfcient sum for the work. Father Garrity gratefully accepted the old man's gift and built a beau- tiful house of worship to stand as the crowning work of a long life, well spent in the lay apos- tolate at Belfast. This church was dedicated under the patronage of St. Francis Assissi by Bishop Healy Thank, giving Day, 1891.

THE PITCHER-SLEEPER WEDDING. j One of the moot brilliant and interesting events of th« season took place Tuesday even- ing st the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elbridge Simmons Pitcher, when their only daughter, Gladys, was united in marriage to James Tay- lor Sleeper of Beloit. Wis. by 7 30 there was a large gathering of relatives and friends in the attractive rooms. There was no attempt at fonnal decoration, hut quantities of white peonies, roses and ferns were used with excel- lent effect in the parlor and living room. In the hall, daisies and green completely masked the stairway, while in the dining room pink peonies made a handsome showing.

When Miss Florence Moody of Gardiner, a school friend of the bride, began the wedding march the groom, accompanied by his brother, Allen Sleeper of Detroit, Mich,, took hi* place before the officiating clergyman, Rev. William W. Sleeper of Wellesley, Mass., the groom's father, in the bow window in the parlor. Then the bridesmaids entered from the dining room, carrying ropes of laurel, which formed an aisle for the bride. They were all becomingly gowned in hand- some dresses of different colors, giving a

rainbow effect, and wore the bride's gift, gold pendants set with amethyst. Miss Katherine C. Quimby wore green, Miss Marian Hazeltine yellow. Miss Cora S. Morison, lavender, and Miss Helen Sleeper of Wellesley, sister of the

groom, pink. Frank Sleeper of Wellesley, the

groom's brother, and William Swan Kelley of Minneapolis, Minn., carried the end of the chain. Little Miss Ruth. Hilton of Chicago, 111., as flower girl came next, gowned in dainty white and carrying a basket of yellow mar-

guerites. The bride was preceeded by her maid of honor, Miss Susan Downing of Ja- maica Plain, Mass., a friend of the bride at the

Conservatory. Miss Downing was handsome- ly gowned in yellow messaline and carried an

arm bouquet of pink roses. The bride was

beautiful in a gown of white crepe de chine with overdress of brocaded crepe de chine, and carried a shower bouquet of brides' roses and lilies of the valley. Her becomingly arranged veil was an heirloom and belonged to a great, great grandmother, whose husband was a

Revolutionary soldier. She wore a handsome diamond pendant, the groom's gift.

single ring ceremony was performed, the wed- ding party were joined by Mr. and Mrs. E. 3. Pitcher, the groom’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sleeper, and Mr. and Mrs. Horace W. Pitcher, the bride’s grandparents.

Every good wish for the future happiness and prosperity of the bride and groom was ex-

pressed by those present Shortly after eight the reception guests began arriving and added their congratulations and good wishes. Ice cream and calces were served by a corps of

young ladies who included Misses Katherine

and Charlotte Hilton of Chicago, 111., Alice Mill- house of South Bend, Ind., Annette Holt, Mar-

garet Craig, Ida Carleton, Helen Kittredge, Marguerite Owen, Mildred Randall, Jessie Hart, Louise Clement and Myrtle Frost. Punch was dipped in the living room by Mrs. Elon B. Gilchrist, Mrs. Ralph L. Cooper, Miss Evelyn P. Morison and Miss Clara B. Keating, while the other members of the Saturday Auction club assisted generally. Also assisting were

little Misses Grace Hazeltine, Ruth Dinsmore and Helen Wcscott. The cutting of the brides’ j cake was an interesting feature of the even-

ing. The cake itself was most attractive. It I was surrounded by flowers, and surmounted

by a little Kewpie, wearing a wedding veil j and wreath and carrying a bouquet. Miss Helen Sleeper got the ring, Mrs. C.

C. Pineo of Havana, Cuba, the dime, and Mrs. W. R. Howard of Williamstown, j Mass., the lucky stone (?) The bride’s bou-

quet was caught by Miss Margaret White of

Miami, Florida. Quantities of confetti and

ribbon streamers were in readiness for the

bridal couple upon their re-appearance, and it I was used liberally upon the pair who rushed

down stairs, suit cases in hand, and jumped into the automobile, which E. S. Pitcher drove | off toward town. Many of the guests had left

when the supposed bride and groom reappear- ed upon the porch and were found to be the ! best man, Allen Sleeper, and Miss Cora S. Mori-

son. The clever ruse was entirely successful, j and the supply of confetti was exhausted, so

that the “real” bride and groom were allowed !

to make a peaceful departure later for Mayne Stay, their cottage at The Battery, which was

the wedding gift of the bride’s parents, and

which has been remodelled for their occupancy and where it is hoped they will spend every summer.

The briae is one of Belfast’s most charming and talented daughters. She is a graduate of the Belfast High school and of the New Eng- land Conservatory of Music, Boston, where

she was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority. An accomplished musician, both with

the piano and the ’cello, she has generously added pleasure to many gatherings, and will be much missed from local musical and social

circles. She held the responsible position of

musical director of the Chelsea, Mass.,schools, which she resigned to be at home for the year

preceeding her marriage. Many showers and

parties have been given for her, and the beau- tiful array of gifts in one of the upper rooms

spoke for the popularity of the bride and

groom among their many friends. Prof, sleeper graduated irom nmuerst and

took graduate work at Harvard and Columbia. He now heads the music department at Beloit College, Beloit, Wis., a responsible position for which he is well qualified. He is a mem-

! ber of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity and it so

happened that there were six Beta's present for the wedding. For several seasons Prof.

Sleeper haB been at The Battery for the sum-

mer, and has made many friends there. His

gift to his groomsman was a pair of gold cuff links. The bride gave her maid of honor a

gold bracelet. She also gave a gold bracelet to

the flower girl and a set of cloisonne pins to

ber pianist Among the many out of town guests present

not already mentioned were Mrs Annie Irving of Bangor, Lieut. Edwin Butcher of Augusta. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hoyt Hilton and children of Chicago, III., Dr. and Mrs. Charles D. Cool and Miss Florence E. Dunton of Madison, Wis., Mr. W. R. Howard of Williamstown, Mass

Miss Hazel Barnard of LewiBton, Mr. W. K.

Morison and Miss Ruth Moriaon of Minne-

apolis, Minn., Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Flanders of

Boston, Dr. and Mrs. S. C. Pattee of Searsport, Miss Carrie Spofford of Bangor and Mrs. Arline Cooper of Newport.

Through the thoughtfulness of Mr. Charles

Bradbury an informal dance was enjoyed in Memorial Hall after the wedding, where many

of the young people, including the out of town

guests, closed a pleasant evening.

The warden on duty in the southern half of Aroostook county has reported to the State commissioners ot inland fisheries and game that he cannot remember a year since he has been on duty that there have been so many brook trout taken as this year.

Base Ball.

THE EASTERN LEAGUE GAMES.

The Journal went to press too early last

week to report the Wednesday afternoon

games. Belfast again defeated the Easterns

on the Congress street grounds by a score of

9 to 6, which landed the local team in second

place, the Easterns leading with 6 games won'

and 8 lost, while Belfast had won 6 and lost 4.

Belfast won by a hard batting rally in the 8th

inning, going to bat on the wrong end of a 6 to 4 Bcore, and making five runs. With the bases full, “Bush” Ladd came across with a

clean-up hit and McElwee contributed a home run when needed. Up to that inning McLellan and Wheeler had honors about even. It was a

good game and kept the crowd excited. At Bangor that afternoon the Bangora de-

feated Old Town to a score of 8 to 3. At Bangor, June 26th, Harry Wormwood, the

former New England Leaguer, now with Bel-

fast, was effective against Bangor until the eighth inning, when Talbot cleaned up the bases with a home run. The final score was,

Bangor 4, Belfast 3. Murphy of Dartmouth

pitched well for Bangor. At Old Town,Friday,the home team defeated

the Easterns of South Brewer, 8 to 7 by a

rally in the eighth, batting Dwyer out of the box and scoring seven runs. Howard held the visitors well until the ninth. The Easterns in their last time at bat got three runs and came near tying up the score.

At South Brewer last Saturday afternoon Belfast got y.way with the Easterns on their home grounds by a score of 6 to 1. The Daily News says of the game: “Harry Wormwood was about the whole thing for Belfast as he

put the ball over the fence for a home run in

the first inning, when the bases were full, and

later in the game made a steal of the plate. The four tallies in the first were about all Bel- fast needed to win, with Temple pitching con-

sistent ball and fast support behind him. The Easterns did not show any signs of becoming dangerous and the interest centered in seeing whether they would escape the whitewash. McLellan was easy for Belfast and he gave

way at the end of the 4th to Jerry Welch. Jerry was third string pitcher for University of Maine this year. Belfast seemed to be somewhat bothered to get at Jerry’s delivery and he held them to one hit for the rest of the game. His support wasn’t very good at times. He got in a hole in about every inning but crawled out, somehow. There were but few sensational features.”

At Old Town, June 27th, in the fastest and

best game of the season, Bangor won from Old Town, 3 to 1. It was a pitcher’s battle be- tween McPhee of the home team who held Bangor to two hits and Fox, for Bangor, who was found for three hits. One of Bangor’s hits was a triple by Lawry with a man ahead of him. The Bangor team gave Fox beautiful support and some classy stops and a great out-

field catch by Talbot cut off promising runs. McPhee's fine work was offset to some extent

by slip-ups in the field and with better support he stood an excellent chance to win. Gould and Bennett did fine work for Old Town.

Tuesday’s games—Old Town at Belfast, and

Bangor at South Brewer—were called off be-

cause of the rain and wet grounds. The same

teams were to play at the same places yester- day and the Old Town and Belfast nines met on the Congress street grounds. Belfast and Bangor are tied at this time.

The games lor Friday and Saturday are: Easterns at Old Town. Belfast at Bangor. (Two games July 4th. 1

HOWE'S GREAT LONDON SHOW.

The Howe’s Great London Show is coining here, and the date Bet for its coining ia Satur- day, July 11th. Too much importance can not be attached to the date thie show will be here, for no one will care to miw seeing whaC is ad- mitted to be the very best aggregation now

I before the people. With three rings, splendid menagerie an&a museum full of wonders, it is not to be surprised at that it has attained the reputation of being second to none.

The show is far from being a new one as far as its title is concerned, for it has been enter-

ing successfully to the amusement loving peo- ple for the past generation and is one of the few shows that has endured and thrived with age. This may be attributed solely to the fact that it has always kept just ahead of the times and in advance of other similar aggregations* Merit has always been the motto of the show, and this,has been sustained above all other considerations. Another factor in its success

has been the treatment that at all times has been accorded its patrons. Exaggerated forms of advertising have been eliminated from its advance heralding; idle boasts are foreign to its policy, and, in fact, there is nothing in any way

misleading that is tolerated by the manage- ment of this gigantic aggregation. The patrons have always been the first consideration, both as to their safety and comfort and the quality of the performance given them.

The show will arrive on its own trains of

double-length cars and will spread acres of canvas to care for the people who will flock to

it. The main tent has a seating capacity of 10,000. All of the tents are absolutely sun and waterproof, and the system of lighting at

night is the most perfect in use by any show.

SECRET SOCIETIES.

At the regular meeting of Tarratine Tribe of Red Men last Monday evening the following officers were elected for the ensuing term:

Prophet Edward Robinson; sachem. Frank L. Smith; senior sagamore, Charles H. Hahn; junior sagamore, Sewali B. Fletcher; trustee, Edwin S. Perkins. The installation will take

place at the meeting of the Tribe next Monday evening.

The members of Good Will Lodge, K. of

P., and Minerva Temple, Pythian Sisters, of

Winterport, held memorial services in their ball Sunday afternoon, June 21st. An able and

impressive sermon was delivered by Rev. A. J. Lockhart. Mrs. W. E. Clements, Mrs. Mandel Smith, Mrs. H. D. Ellingwood and Fred D. Woodman sang several appropriate selections. A very large number were pres- ent. The hall was tastefully decorated for the occasion.

The 23rd district of Maine Rebekahs held its meeting at Hampden, Friday evening, June 19th. Members of Dorothea Dix lodge, No. 99, were hostesses. A bountiful supper was

served from 6.30 to 7.30 o’clock. The meeting opened at 8. Reports from Brewer, Orrington, Bucksport, Winterport and Hampden showed that each lodge was doing excellent work and that interest and enthusiasm were dominant factors in this continuous success. About 175 members were present, including representa- tives from Corinth and Hermon as well as the

above named lodges. The degree was confer- red most ably by Mizpah Lodge of Winterport on four candidates. A short program wa8

given and gifts were presented to the presi- dent, vice president and district deputy presi- dent by Mrs. Charles Couillard, past noble

grand of Dorothea Dix lodge, in a most grace- ful and pleasing manner. The recipients re-

sponded with words of thanks and appreciation not only for the gifts, but for the cordial

welcome, hearty reception and bounteous

banquet provided for their entertainment.

With good weather next Saturday a large delegation of Odd Fellows and their friends

will go to Unity to attend the first F.eld Day of the Odd Fellows in districts numbers 18 and

J 19, and it is expected to be the largest gather- I ing of Odd Fellows held in this section in a

long time. While the program has been arran-

ged for Odd Fellows all are invited and will be

made welcome. The parade will leave the

| Maine Central depot on the arrival of the train

| from Waterville bringing the members of

I the Halifax Canton and will pass over the

Washington Whisperings. | Washington, D. C., June 29, 1914.

President Wilson’s emphatic declaration

to the newspaper correspondents that he

would expect Congress to remain in ses-

sion until the anti-trust legislation pro-

posed by him in his message to the

National lawmakers has* been enacted

brought a wail from the lips of many

Congressmen who had hoped to get away

in July for fence-repairing purposes; some of these aforesaid "fences” being in exceedingly bad repair, according to

inside information. One thing the President’s utterances

has done is the subject of congratula- tion, that is, the speeding up of the Sen-

ate in its consideration of the appropria- tion bills. With the exception of the

Sundry Civil, the River and Harbor, and

the General Deficiency bills, the Senate has passed all the other money budgets and they have either become law3 or are

still in conference. The River and Harbor appropriation

bill was reported to the Senate on Thurs-

day, June 18th, and its early considera-

tion will be urged. While there will be

some objection to certain features of the

bill it is not expected that the opposition will be either large or unreasonable, and

the bill will pass the Senate in due sea-

son.

The Year Book ot the Department of

Agriculture for 1913, which has just come

from the presses and is being distributed

to Congressmen and to correspondents of

the Department entitled to receive copies, liffers in several respects from its prede-

cessors, the articles in general being of

a more popular and instructive charac-

ter, although the book itself contains a

smaller number of pages than those that

■have gone before. In the articles in the Year Book the

cost of living plays a prominent part. Dr. Pennington, for example, points out

that Americans neglect a valuable source of food by failing to take advantage of

the immense supply of fish at their dis-

posal. The protein content of fisn is

fully as nign as ,Lnai meat

although meat prices are rising steadily, ittle or no effort is made Jto U3e the

•cheaper substitute. It is the foreign population of the United States which

eats the greater oart of the fish consum-

ed in this country. Dr. Pennington names

ten staple varieties, some of which it is

safe to say can always be purchased for

less than ten cents a pound, even when

prices are highest, and can usually be

■obtained for less than five*cents. The book is illustrated by 54 full-page

'plates, of which a large number are re-

produced in colors, and by 21 tables, maps

and line drawings.

Dr. W. T. Hornaday, one of the lead-

ing naturalists of the world, and an emi-

nent authority on bird and animal life, bead of New York’s famous zoological parK, is conducting a nation-wide propa-

ganda against the slaughter of useful

birds. “The American people,” hesays. “must awake to a realizing sense of cer-

vain facts that seriously affect the cost

of living. The 5,000,000 men and boys who are slaughtering our birds, are levy- ing tribute on every American pocket- book.” He says the codling moth and

eurculio apple pests costs us about $8,- 250,000 a year for spraying operations, and $12,000,000 a year in shrinkage of

value in the apple crop. The chinch bug wheat pests sometimes cost us $20,000,- 000 a year. The cotton “boll weevil costs

the cotton planters $20,000,000 a year. The tree-insect pests cost the nation

$100,000,000 a year. While the grass-

hoppers, cut worms, army worms, wire

worms, leaf hoppers, and other insects

’ost the nation annuajly more millions

Phan can be counted separately. He

urges with all his great ability, backed

by thousands of enthusiastic followers, the enactment of legislation that will put a stop to the ruthless killing of robins, blackbirds, doves, the bobwhite quail, and insect-eating shore birds.

“Let Uncle Sam do it,” may be con-

sidered the motto of most men in Con-

gress. The members of the appropria- tion committee of the House are not in-

cluded, for they are the “watchdogs of the treasury,” and oppose appropria- tions—except occasionally for their own

districts. But there is a general tend-

ency toward having the government do

everything. Rapid has been the develop- ment along this line, but the most im-

portant are the rural mail service, the

postal savings banks and the parcel i.1_Into

UUCl. mi v*- ~ -—

development. Soon will follow road

building. In addition, the Department of Agriculture has developed functions which strict constructionists would have

rejected a quarter of a century ago. We are looking after mines; we have a public health service invading the States, and

many bureaus whose sole duties are to

investigate the lives and means of the

people, heretofore regarded as functions for the States or the individuals.

In vivid contrast with the methods in

England was the action of the National American Woman Suffrage Association in the presentation of women’s demand for the ballot. The leading officers of the association took the thousands of resolutions, adopted on Suffrage Day, to

the Capitol and in brief statements told

Vice President Marshall and Speaker ’Champ Ciark what they contained. These /petitions were afterward presented to

Congress by the Senators and Represen- tatives from the States where they were

'adopted. There was no militancy, no

difficulty, no disturbance, but a quiet, orderly, and impressive ceremony. And

'■it was very much more effective, because ; -it makes American men appreciative of their women.

TO STUDY ROAD CONDITIONS IN

100 COUNTIES.

Detailed studies of local road building systems in 100 counties are now being carried on by the U. S., department of

Agriculture in cooperation with the Stat- highway departments and local road authorities.

The purpose of this study is to discover the points of excellence and defects in existing local methods of building and maintaining roads which will aid the State authorities to put local road man-

agement on a systematized basis. The

cooperating State authorities have been asked to designate counties that present typical and exceptional features as to j topography, character of road materials, j methods of construction and mainte- j nance, administrative organization, 1

methods of road financing, and traffic conditions. From these lists 100 counties will be selected, and in these counties the Division of Road Economics will make intensive studies.

This investigation is prompted by the fact that there is at present very little knowledge as to the most effective and economical methods by which a county can develop its roads. At present the methods of financing local road improve- ments vary from calling on farmers for a certain number of days’ labor in lieu of a road tax, or the use of county prisoners in road construction, to bond issues or maintenance of roads from dramshop license funds.

The department will study all of these systems with the view to determining what system or combination of systems works best in actual practice.

There is, moreover, at present no

standard system of keeping accounts for road building and maintenance, and as a

result, while some counties know to a

penny the purpose for which money was

spent others have no definite check or re-

porting system. Among varioua counties with the same condi'ions cost for excava-

tion or other labor is anything but uni- form, and many counties, because of the ahsence of defipite knowledge, fail to use local and cheap materials, and con-

struct roads which are unnecessarily expensive for their purpose, or which will wear out before the bond issues are

redeemed. The investigation will in- clude a careful study of the use of convict labor in road construction.

In connection with the scientific study the department’s highway engineers will advise freely with local officials as

to improvements, and thus give each

county visited the advantage of direct

cooperation, engineering supervision, and assistance.

These investigations, it is believed, will yield important economic data bear- ing especially on the benefits and burdens of road improvement and showing the extent to which financial outlay under giver, typical conditions is justifiable

The heads of State highway depart- ments are manifesting great interest and are cooperating cordially in this work. These data when obtained will be published and thus made accessible to all county and State road officials.

WHERE THE CUP DEFENDERS ARE BUILT.

Bristol once was a flourishing seaport, and got rich in the slave trade and that other questionable trade which sent ships to the coast of Madagascar loaded with powder and rum, which were ex-

changed at pirates’ rendezvous for the spoils taken by the buccaneers. In this Madagascar trade it was the leading American port, and its principal mer- chants took a lively interest in that type of all gentlemen adventurers, Captain Kidd. The marks of its ancient wealth are everywhere in beautiful colonial mansions—mansions which suggest, somehow, Southern plantations and “cullud pussons.” In walking through the tow'll you would know that there was, literally, "a nigger in the wood- pile” even if no’one told you so.

The Herreshoff shops,at the lower end

of the town, look out on the anchorage where once the slavers and the ships laden w'ith pirates spoils anchored, and where now nothing anchors. Neverthe- less, the people of Bristol are of the salt, salt sea. The young are webfooted and the old folk die on the ebb tide. The descendants of those who discussed Captain Kidd and the ‘‘Guinea trade” now talk Herreshoff and yachts.

The Herreshoff Works are guarded as

carefully as ever was the Sultan’s harem, and it is as safe to try and enter into the one as it was the other.

When a new cup defender is building a

stranger in Bristol is regarded with suspicion by the whole community, and has only to watch the big ship houses whence come the sound of hammers closing rivets up to be confronted by a stern watchman who warns him off the earth. If he hires a rowboat and takes a look at the buildings from the bay a watchman standing on the pierhead waves him off imperiously, another man

in a boat lies in wait for him to smash his camera and drive him away. Even to take pictures on the public highways in the vicinity of the works is regarded by the Herreshoffs as an offense, and “Nat” Herreshoff himself sometimes seizes upon the unfortunate photographer and smashes his camera with force of

A careful watch is kept by the Kerre- shoffs for any possible “leak” concern-

ing the new cup defender among their workmen. It is a popular belief among the men employed in the shops that working side by side with them are men

who are especially hired to keep an eye upon them and to report at headquarters any suspicion of a man selling or giving out information concerning the new

boat. To be seen talking to a newspaper

man would, they confidently believe, lose them their jobs, and as these are good jobs the appearance of a stranger among them is a signal for flight. Any stranger is avoided by them, for he may be a

newspaper man in disguise or else an

emissary from “the other side.”—From “Building the Cup Defender” in the July Strand.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S

CASTORIA Roosevelt Stands by Perkins.

New York, June 24. Upon his arrival tonight on the Imperator, Theodore Roosevelt vigorously defended George W. Perkins, chairman of the Progressive National executive committee, whose resignation as chairman was demanded recently by Amos Pinchot, who declared that Mr. Perkins’ affiliation with certain big business interests made him unfit to hold his position.

“When they read Perkins out,” said Col. Roosevelt, "they will have to read me out, too.”

The colonel reiterated that he would not be a candidate for the governorship of New York this fall.

1 HE BKESILlEm S U1S1LI VIUUKI.

But f<v the Simmons amendment de- claring that the United States yielded none of its rights under the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty, President Wilson would have won by a narrow margin the repeal of exemption for American coastwise ships at Panama—indeed, he might not have won at all. This amendment was one

price which the President had to pay, and another price, and a heavier one, is the disapproval of a large majority of the American people, which will be visit- ed on him and his party in the Congres- sional elections next November.

It is a pyrrhic victory and a beginning of the end of the present National Ad- ministration. Senator Vardaman of Mississippi, one of th“ strongest of Dem- ocrats. voiced the thought in the minds of millions when he said that President Wilson’s demand for toll repeal was cer-

tain to prove fatal to himself and to his party. The Hay-Pauncefote treaty was

a weak one. It ought not to have been made. But the men who made it and agreed to it are blameless compared with the men who have now surrendered in the face of foreign threats and been out- witted a second time by shrewd British diplomacy.

The British government feared the Panama Canal as an instrument by which America might restore her mercantile marine. That government set itself with all its power to frustrate such a

purpose. It outgeneraled Mr. Hay, and now it has tricked and overborne the Wilson National Administration and the Democratic majority in both houses of Congress.

In the Senate, as in the House, some

Republicans voted with the Democratic majority for repeal. With a few excep- tions the Republican Senators who did this represent Middle Western States that are persistently hostile to American shipping. Senator Lodge and Senator Root, while favoring repeal, believe that ____iJ I___a-U„

tolls of American ships at Panama. Therefore, the way is open for the Re- publican party to make a political issue of the tolls question against the Presi- dent and the Democracy. That they will do this in the November contests there is not the shadow of question. And Coionel Roosevelt and the Progressive organization will do the same.

Whether the Republicans and Pro- gressives get together or act separately, a great majority of the votes of all the American people in the Congressional elections of next autumn will be cast in condemnation of the President’s policy of scuttle and surrender. In that cam-

paign the American merchant marine and its needs will be a conspicuous if not a dominant issue.—The Marine Journal.

THE CLAFLIN FAILURE.

New York, June 25. The biggest mercantile failure in the history of the United States was precipitated today when receivers were appointed for the H. B. Claflin Company of this city. The company, it is estimated, owes more than $30,000,000, which at the present time it is unable to pay.

Its assets are said to be $44,000,000. John Claflin, head of the concern and its chief individual stockholder, is the own- er of a chain of nearly thirty other dry goods enterprises throughout the coun-

WOOD USED IN THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES.

Washington, D. C., June 29, 1914. Statistics have been compiled by the for-

est service which show for the first time

precisely how the lumber produced in

the country is utilized. About 45 billion

feet of lumber of all kinds is the annual

production in the United States; of this

nearly -25 Pillion feet, board measure, are further manufactured, the other por- tion remaining for rough construction lumber and for similar purposes. This is

exclusive of material which reaches its

final use in the form of fuel, railroad

ties, posts, poles, pulpwood, cooperage, wood distillates, and the barks and ex-

tracts demanded by the tanning industry. The work of collecting and compiling

the figures extended over a considerable

period and was carried out State by State; but as one full year was made the basis of statistics in each State the

total is a fair average of the use of lum-

ber in further manufacture in the whole

country. Between 50 and 60 per cent of the lumber produced is subject to further ;

manufacture. In preparing the figures in this way, however, it should be re-

membered that considerable material

reaches shops and factories in the form

or logs, bolts, and billets without having passed through sawmills, and while this

material is included in these statistics this fact should be remembered in com-

paring statistics with those of lumber

production. Nearly or quite 100 different wooc^t are

used in this country under their own

names, while an unknown number find their way to shops and factories with-

out being identified or separately listed,

except under general names. In quan-

tity the softwoods, the needle-leaf or

coniferous trees, are most important, but .1 __niimVior r»f

among the hardwoods, or hroadleaf trees.

Yellow pine comes first with more than

8 billion feet, followed by white pine with 3 billion, and Douglas fir with a

little more than 2 billion. It should be

understood, however, that the term “yel- low pine” includes several species, the

three most important of which are long- leaf, shortleaf and loblolly. Oak, includ-

ing all species, has nearly 2 billion feet, and is the most important hardwood.

Maple comes next.

Dogwood comes about halfway down

the list with more than 7 million board

feet, and of those species mentioned

Turkish boxwood comes last, with less

than 30 thousand f-et, followed by many

others too insignificant to list but mak-

ing a total of all Kinds of more than a

million feet. Of the native species, laurel, holly and yucca fall very near

the foot of the list in relative quantities used.

Fifty-five principal industries use wood

as raw material. Their relative import- ance is hard to indicate, because quan- tity alone is not in all cases a criterion

of value of an industry to the commun-

ity in which it is situated, nor to the

country as a whole. More than one-half of the total con-

sumption consists of planing mill pro-

ducts, the largest items of which are

flooring, siding, ceiling and finishing. The next industry, in point of quantity of wood used, is the manufacture of

boxes and crates. Nearly four times as

much wood is demanded by makers of

boxes and crates as by the builders of

steam and electric cars, which come

next, and five fold the amount that goes

into furniture, which in turn leads vehicle

manufacture. Vehicles demand surpris- ingly large supplies of wood, and much

of it must be of a high class in order to

meet requirements for frames, gears,

and bodies. Chairs, listed separately from furni-

ture, come after novelties and supplies for dairymer, poultry keepers and apiar- ists, and just before handles, and musi-

cal instruments. About midway down

the list come pumps and wood pipes.

Among the products important enough to list separately are canes and umbrella

Sticks, brooms, firearms, artificial limbs, and tobacco pipes.

The apportionment of wood among the

various industries, grades from planing mill products, which take most, down to

aeroplanes and dry kilns, at the bottom

of the list.

For any itching skin trouble, piles, eczema, salt rheum, hives, itch, scald head, herpes, scabies, Doan's Ointment is highly recommend-

ed. 50c. a box at all stores.

Increased Salaries at Bowdoin.

Brunswick, Me., June 24. Substan- tial increases in the salaries of Pru- dent Hyde and all the members of the Bowdoin faculty were voted by ^“}e trustees and overseers. President Hyde was given an additional $1,000 a year and the professors $250 each.

Joseph Williamson ’88, of Augusta, was elected by the Bowdoin Alumni a

member of the board of overseers for three years.

LaGrippe THE DEADLY WEAKENER. La Grippe in itself is seldom fatal.

But the weakness, lassitude and loss of

appetite induced by it leaves the system easy prey to the ravages of other ills.

“L. F.” Atwood’s Medicine is an un-

failing remedy for these dangerous after-

effects. It tones up the entire system, builds up the appetite, and restores

strength. Mrs. Croxford’s letter tells the whole

story: Carmel, Maine: "I was very poorly after an attack of

La Grippe. A friend recommended “L. F.” Atwood’s Medicine and I got a bot- tle. It baa done me lota of good. I shall

always keep it on band.” (Signed) Mrs. M. L. Croxford.

The period of time it takes to hatch eggs of the domestic hen is 21 days. There are two methods of incubation and

brooding, namely, natural and artificial. In natural incubation and brooding the

hen is allowed to sit on a nest of eggs and brood or mother the young chicks when hatched.

THE BIBLE OF TODAY.

To the Editor of The Journal:

Despite the fact that there are many

failures in life, there still are those in

the world who walk alive through fiery furnaces just as truly as they did in the

days when the Bible story was written.

Judge Neil says he has seen noble moth-

ers separated forever from their own

children because they were poor,and this

crime was committed in the name of kindness and charity. Before 1,700 chil-

dren were pensioned in Chicago, 300 of

them were each year brought into court

as law breakers. Now that they are pen- sioned the number of law-breakers is re-

duced to three. Eighteen other States,

learning that the Illinois pension system diminishes crime among children 99 per cent, have passed a similar law.during the past three years.

Judge Neil alludes to child poverty as

the blight of civilization. When he com-

pletes his work among the children, he

may notice that old age poverty is just as great a blight. He says Degging

must stop; it is a failure. Charity can

not even relieve child poverty and it

does not even propose to abolish it.

Charity disgraces the receiver and fills the giver with a false pride which hurts

his character. A late issue of the Port-

land Oregon Journal says: ‘‘The holiest

temple beneath the skies is the home

that love hath built and the sweetest al-

tar in all the wide world is the fireside around which gather father and mother and children.” It also says that the

church of the future is to be founded on

love, love of God and love of fellowman.

Thus the press and the law makers are

rapidly embodying the spirit of our

Christian civilization and putting it in a j more practical form. It occasionally dawns on them that the man whose skill

brings him an income of $2,000 per year

should pay as much tax as the one whose

capital invested brings him a Similar in-

come. It very often happens that the

man deriving the income from skill fails

in health and needs a pension just as

truly as the helpless children for whom

Judge Neil is working. In many cases

they need it more than the children, for

having been accustomed to luxury for

years ihey feel more keenly the degrada- ;

tion of adverse circumstances, and with-

out health and strength to help them- j selves more than the little children above

referred to. We cram children’s heads with fairy

stories that have no existence save in ;

the imagination of some ancient genius, when more wonderful facts are going on

in the world today if we would take the

trouble to look. It is less trouble to take

some quack nostrum than it is to get out

and work according to nature’s laws for

health. The same is true educationally and religiously. But progress is-being made. It may be well to help some

friend who is broken in health and penni- less, but it is better to count the number

in the world who are in similar circum-

stances and count the money which they have earned through life and note whith-

er it went in trying to compete with

fashionable neighbors in luxury. The death of a man like Weyerhauser.

leaving behind him a hundred million

dollars or upwards, reminds us that the

title of the common people might be

! much augmented by a 50 per cent inherit-

j ance tax on fortunes above a million dol-

lars. The rich man’s wealth might be

j illustrated by two farmers farming on a

| hillside. The fertility of one man’s farm

j is washed on to the one below, him. The

lower farmer gets his greater income by ! force of circumstances and not because

i he works harder or is more skillful. The ! two farmers should be taxed according to income and each receive an old age

pension sufficient to give them bread.

Many an honest hardworking farmer loses his farm in old age through raising a thriftless family. One of the hardest

working farmers I ever knew died in the insane asylum, simply because his wife

j influenced him to give a large share of his life’s accumulations to her favorite son to give him standing in the world. When the venerable father was past labor he said: “I can not dig,to beg I am

ashamed;” hence his sad fall.

When Judge Neil gets around to collect his statistics he will find old age pensions as essential to the world as the child pen- sions for which he is now working in the State of New York. The education of the masses so that the industries may be

skillfully handled and the hungry fed and clothed is not all there is to life. Without congenial home surroundings there is comparatively little human hap- piness. ,

There is a tendency to try to cover up individual characteristics so that all will

appear aa much alike as possible. It re-

quires an expert and years of observa- tion to discover^the real nature of tbe souL There is no reason why a child’s

nature should not be tabulated as full; as his attainments. The more highl] people are educated the greater the di versity in their natures. It is said thai there are twice as many divorces grant- ed in America as in all other civilized na tions. And the number is rapidly in' creasing. There are seven times Ai many today as there were a third of s

century ago. To attempt to check the [ evil by law would be to heal a sore while I it is still putrid within.

The domestic condition of the Ameri- can people is much the same as the politi- cal condition of the Mexicans. The Mexicans need to be educated in the science of civil government. The Ameri- can people need to be educated in the science of home-making. At present the home is a citadel from which the

public is excluded. Men do not hesitate to dissect the human body and learn to

remedy defects, but the home is not studied or discussed so much as it was

centuries ago. The education of women

is working a change in domestic relations the outcome of which no man can per- dict. So long as a woman is single it is

fine for her to be able to earn as much as

a man, but she does not willingly engage in home-making unless shd finds a hus-

band above her in earning capacity or

with an inherited fortune. There are

many positions in society which promise better returns than is obtained by the honest tiller of the soil, but the outcome is often nearly as disastrous as the fate of those who enter the house of ill fame.

Intelligent labor is what counts. If there is not harmony of action among

partners nothing is accomplished, and

the sooner the partnership is dissolved the better. But harmony could often be brought about by an intelligent solu- tion of the problem by competent author-

ity. But so far as domestic relations

are concerned everyone says: “This is

my problem,” and resents the proffered services of an expert in the science. Doubtless the expert would be hard to

find as the subject has not been studied. But the time will come when lectures on

the science of domestic and social life will be just as popular as they now are

on purity or temperance. Jefferson said:

“Harmony in the marriage state is the

very first object to be aimed at.” If he were still living he might devise a public home for troublesome third parties who

so often prove a source of discord. Franklin was accustomed to say of the

picture of Christ upon the Cross: "That

is the picture of one who came into the

world to teach men to love one another.” The individual fortune or the individual influence is of little effect, but in union

or united effort is efficiency. The hun-

gry may be fed by united effort. Evils

like intemperance may be suppressed by united effort. A system of home-

making and home government could be

developed by united effort. At present they are both left to chance and are in a

more complete state of revolution than the Mexican civil government.

The movements on the Mexican field of battle take the first place in our daily papers while our home revolutions are

consigned to some obscure corner of the

editorial page. When Garfield was a boy he said: “First of all, I must make my- self a man; if I do not succeed in that, I can succeed in nothing.” Marden says: “Man is the only great thing in the uni-

verse, Only one complete man has yet been evolved.” William Jones would have

•■Men who their duties know. But know their rights, and knowing, dare

maintain Prevent the long-aimed blow.

And crush the tyrant while they rend the chain.**

There are some differences of opinion as to the most powerful influences in the

production of a higher giade of citizen-

ship. A speaker of national reputation has said that, "Neither the politician, business man nor newspaper develop a

high order of citizenship. They all travel

with the current; the church and school nlnnn onalr tn malrn man hoftor

The facte are that nothing moves with the current more than the church and the school and nothing does more for the el- evation of society than good law-makers and good newspapers, and we have both in abundance, though it is to be lament- ed there are the bad mixed with the

good, as in everything else. Here are

samples from the Oregon Journal:

FROM PAUL TO JESUS.

Discussing the social awakening of the Christian church and its drift from theology to sociology, Mr. Anderson draws a striking contrast between the two dominant figures in Christianity, Jesus sprang from the common people, himself a working man. Paul was from the aristocracy, a Pharisee and a Roman citizen. The one was aflame with a tre- mendous ideal, God’s will on earth, and in his first public utterance proclaimed himself the bearer of good news to the poor, the captive and the spiritually blina. The other was wrapped in a

mystic other-worldliness and after his sudden conversion expounded his philos- ophy of the forgiveness of sins. The one devoted three years among the multi- tudes to a splendid all around attack on human misery. The other went off for the same length of time into the Arabian desert and there in solitude cogitated upon a theory of salvation. The one, brought into bitter and unflinching battle with privilege, literally offered himself as a sacrifice for his cause.

* The other after being shielded and 'defended by the very powerB which had crucified hie master, was executed after vainly trying to be “all things to all men.”

The great achievement of Paul was, that he saved Christianity from sub- mergence into Judaism.

| After turning away from the democra- : cy of its founder to follow the imperial- | ism of Paul, the church is today return-

ing to the simpler and more fundaments doctrines of Jesus and in all ita depart- ments a new social interest is pervasive.

ECONOMICS IN RELIGION It takes money to operate a church,

just as it takes money to keep a factory running. Two business concerns which manufacture the same product find that one can supply the demand. The re- sult is that one concern closes its doors and the other is permitted to run full time. Economy in production is effected and the market ia fully supplied.

There is little doubt that the churches could become more efficient— there would be less trouble about financing them—if duplication of effort were done a way with. There is a substantial waste of effort and money in too many churches. None is as efficient as it should be, and ail do not accomplish what a fewer num-

ber could accomplish. Creed and dogma are going out of

fashion. The tendency is toward the simple teachings of Christ. People are

learning that it makea little difference whether they worship in a Methodist or a

Presbyterian church, provided that the place is in fact 8 house dedicated to the Great Teacher.

The best specimen of newspaper is to

the world today something what the

Bible was to an earlier generation. Both are replete with facts and suggestions.

THE APPLE MAGGOT AND ITS CONTROL.

One of the most discouraging features of orcharding in the State of Maine is the injury done to the fruit by the apple maggot or railroad worm. The control of this pest up to the present time has been like fighting a foe in the dark, for

few, if any, knew how to combat it. The fact that the little striped winged fly appeared to exist without eating, and then laid its eggs under the skin of the

growing apple, baffled all attempts at

poisoning the pest. Through the efforts and careful observations of James F. Illingworth at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., during 1911 and 1912 new and en-

couraging light has been thrown upon the methods best adapted to the control of this serious menace to our apple in- dustry. The important points which he discovered are given very briefly in the

following statements, and while the con-

trol may not be perfect under all season

conditions, the suggestions are of im- mense importance. This investigation and its results must bring encourage- ment to the orchardist who has the rail- road worm in his fruit season after sea-

son. Facts discovered by James F. Illingworth at Ithaca, N. Y:

1. The flies of the railroad worm

emerge from the ground from June 15th to August 1st. Second brood may con- tinue to emerge until frosts.

2. Eggs are seldom deposited in less

j than three weeks. 3. One fly may deposit as high as 400

I eggs. 4. While maturing (from 20 to 50

days) the fly eats from the surface of ! leaves and fruit.

5. The fly eats by moistening an area

of the leaf surface with iis own saliva I and then sucks the surface dry.

6. If a poison film is spread over the surface of all foliage and fruit, the fly will take in the poison with its food.

7. The fly of the apple maggot is at- tracted by sweets.

8. A sweetened poison spray applied to the foliage appears to be a certain method of control.

9. Bees will probably not be attracted by this spray if there are plenty of flowers.

A general spray may be applied to the entire orchard the latter part of June using;—

Cheapest molasses, 1 pound Arsenate of lead, 3 ounces \\7 A

Another method of control is to select a few trees which are usually badly in- fested, like varieties of sweet apples, and use them as traps. The following solution should be applied to the lower limbs using about one pint to a medium sized tree. This application may be made to the lower limbs only and may be ap- plied with a common hand atomizer:

Potassium arsenate, 1 pound Sirup, (do not use honey) 4 pints Water, 45 pints

This is a violent poison and should be handled with care.

It is necessary to apply these sprays every 10 days and after heavy rains dur- ing July and August, if the control is to be perfect. —H. P. SwEETSER, Asst. Horticulturist.

CONSTIPATION OR COMFORT? There can be neither comfort nor good

health where constipation exists. Most people sutler from this cause at intervals, many are chronic victims.

Strangely enough, the old-time reme-

dies for this very common complaint were nauseating doses and so powerful tiiat they often made the condition worse

than before. Then they wore out in their effect bo that it was necessary to take a

larger and larger dose. The first attempts at improvement sought to make the dose more palatable but to disguise the taste the size was increased and results were

unsatisfactory. In this age of progress it was impossible

that doses resembling horse medicine should continue to he taken by human

beings. In the now laxative, Pinklets, is presented a dainty, sugar-coated pill, hardly larger than a grain of mustard, that is free from unpleasant effects, docs not upset the stomach nor gripe but

Bimply gives nature the needed assistance. Pinklets also assist digestion and are

good to take after a full meal. Once use

Pinklets and you will never return to

salts, oil and harsh purgatives. Your own druggist can supply you with

Pinklets or they will he sent by mail, postpaid, hy the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., at 25 cents per bottle. Send for helpful pamphlet.

'The Resolute scored her eighth cup

victory last Friday, but in Thursday’s race the Defiance made a good showing

and took second place from the Vanitie.

The latter has since twice defeated the

Bath-built craft.

With all the modern improvements and inventions, and the substitution of

,ron or steel for wood in marine constiuc-

tion, we have had such startling disasters

as the sinking of the Titanic and the

Empress of Ireland. With well drilled

and equipped fire departments, supposed- ly adequate water supply and steam fire

engines, we had last week the Salem

fire, with property losses estimated at

320,000.000, and 15,000 people rendered

homeless.

Advices from Augusta are that the

total registration of automobiles this

seasot will be 15,000, which means one

machine for every 49 persons and an out-

lay of about $18,000,000 in first cost. In

Wisconsin there are about 50,000 auto-

mobiles, or one for every 46 inhabitants. The Wisconsin bankers estimate that

about one quarter of the purchase price j is paid in cash by the purchaser, and

that the other three-quarters is furnish- ed by some bank. If the same condi- tions hold good in this State, Maine auto-

mobile owners are in debt to the tune of

$13,500,000 for automobiles.

Washington, June 25. Under a “new

constitution of freedom” for business, given by anti-trust legislation, soon to

be passed by Congress, President Wilson

today promised the country the greatest lousiness era in its history.

This would be most welcome news, if

there was even the remotest possibility that the promise could be kept. If the

business men of the country are com-

petent judges, the continuance of Con-

gress in session to carry out the legisla- tion demanded by President Wilson will

-make conditions worse than they are at

present, if that is possible.

Administration officials made no effort 'to conceal their pleasure aver the reportB of the taking of Zacatecas by Gen. Villa. It was admitted that in the view of the administration the victory increases the

importance of Villa in the Constitution- •alist cause.

This is from an Associated I'ress des-

patch under date of Washington, D. C., June 25th. Of course it is no secret that

the Administration has been for Villa from the first. The embargo on arms

and munitions of war was raised to en-

able him to get what he wanted in that

Sine, and Vera Cruz was taken at the loss

of the lives of many Americans and the

expenditure of a large amount of the

people’s money to prevent supplies reaching President Huerta. All accounts

from those acquainted with conditions in j Mexico agree that Huerta was friendly to Americans and that under his admin-

istration life and property were safe.

On the other hand Villa was a criminal

in his teens, an outlaw, a bandit, a mur-

derer and a thief. Yet this is the man

in whose behalf President Wilson has

caused a great sacrifice of life and prop-

erty and made this country an object of ridicule abroad.

The Hornet, of Fork, North Carolina, claims to be a prophet. It says it pre-

dicted some time ago that Democrats

■would be appointed to fill the fourth-

(class postoffices "and already that pre-

diction has been largely filled in the Hor-

net’s State:” Months ago there was much talk—

much real speculation—as to what tbe

De mocrats would do if tbe fourth-class -offices were left under Civil Service. .President Wilson threw all of the offices «onen. Examinations were ordered.

X> emocrats complained that the Repub- licans who were in office could stand het- tS<# examinations and outdistance them an the contests. •

....

At that time The Hornet advised the brethren to be quiet and just wait. We told them the Democrats would find a

way to get their friends in the offices. The prediction hss come true.

And yet President Wilson poses as a

Reformer. The work of civil service re-

W. C. T. U. CONVENTION.

The Waldo County convention of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, met in the Methodist Episcopal church Winterport, Friday, June 26. There were present full delegations from Jackson, Belfast and Monroe. Miss

Emily F. Miller of North Searsmont, the county president, presided with Mrs. Annie M. Frost of Belfast as county sec-

retary. The opening devotional service was

conducted at 10 a. m., by Mrs. RoSa Nickerson; and Miss Miller, who arrived while that service was in progress, opened the session. The address of welcome on the part of the church was

given by the pastor, Rev. A. J. Lockhart, and that on the part of the local union

by Mrs. A. J. Lockhart, to which fitting response was made by Miss Miller. Mrs. James Freeman, recently chosen as

president of the Winterport Union, also made a happy address of welcome.

The morning session was occupied with various items of business, such as

the appointment of committees on cre-

dentials, courtesies, finance and resolu- tions.

At nnnn thev ariiourned to the vestrv.

where a bountiful dinner had been pre- pared by the Winterpcrt Union, the guests having brought box lunches. The evening meal was likewise partaken of there. At 2 p. m., the memorial serv-

ice was conducted by Mrs. C. M. Chase in an impressive manner, opening with the hymn, Blest Be the Tie That Binds. Select readings were given appropriate to the occasion by Mrs, Lockhart and Mrs. Sarah Moody. A hymn. Kneeling at the Threshold, was sung by Mr. and Mrs. Lockhart. Addresses relative to

the late lamented president, Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, were made by Mrs. A. G.

Quimbv, acting State president, and by Miss Miller. A musical selection was

given bv Mrs. Annie Hill, Miss Jessie Baker and Miss Sophie Chase, with Mrs. C. R. Lougee at the organ.

At the afternoon session resolutions were adopted approving the action of Governor Haines in sustaining the Pro- hibitory law, and of sympathy and en-

couragement toward Rev. Wilbur F. Berry of the Maine Civic League. A good audience in the evening greeted Mrs. Quimby, who as the successor of Mrs. Stevens, spoke very tenderly and beautiful of the great leader, and made a most instructive and interesting ad- dress. The choir rendered excellent music. During the past year the Win- terport Union has lost three important members, Miss Emily M. Hall, for years the local president, Mrs. Eva Wardwell the secretary, and Mrs. Clark, Five new members were acquired at this session.

held in the Shales store on Main street last Tuesday morning and was addressed by Hon. V. H. Parkhurst of Bangor on the issues of the campaign. At 1.30 p. m. a public meeting was

held at the courthouse. Governor Haines was

the first speaker and was given e rousing re-

ception. He touched upon the business situa- tion and said that Mains does not as yet feel the herd times as much as others because she enjoys a large summer business, but she will feel it more and more, and at present she has enough Democratic hard times to realise whet the conditions will be when the wave of depression that has struck across the country comes in here with full force. He told of how Maine men are being pushed out of work in the textile industry by foreigners, and of the closing of mills while others were running at a

loss. He toox up the milage issue'(?) bis ap- pointment of sheriffs and the road question, making good with his hearers on all. In dos- ing he declared that Maine is the bast gov- erned spot on the face of the globe, and can be proved so by any of her thinking citisens, a

statement that brought continued applause. Congressman Patera followed, speaking mainly on national affairs. Mr. Parkhurst made the closing address which was brief, suggestive and inspiring and a fitting dose to an entha* elastic meeting.

OBITUARY. ~~

James Watson Pendleton died at his home,

No. 12 Allyn street^June 28th, after a ten days illness with a complication of diseases induced

by a severe attack ol acute indigestion. He

was born on the Brackett road in Belfast, Oct.

26,1837, the eldest child of the late Richmond

and Nancy Watson Pendleton. In very early childhood he went to Islesboro with his parents and remained there until 1861. In September, 1861, he joined Company H. of the 8th Maine

Volunteers and served 3 years and 9 months,

with the exception of a short furlough spent at home. It was only after his physicial strength failed that his friends could induce

him to apply for a pension. He was a member

of Thos. H. Marshall Post, G. A. R. When the

war with Mexico came up the old-time spirit returned to him and he longed to go to the

scene of activities. For years he followed the

sea,and on giving up that occupation became a

rigger and ship carpenter. Mr. Pendleton was

an upright, honest man, and enjoyed the re-

spect and esteem of all who knew him. He

was unusually fond of children and was always

happy in making them boats and toys. He

had been in better health this spring than for

some years until this ill turn, He had the con-

stant and tender care of his two daughters who lived at home. In September, 1861, he

married Miss Bedelia M. Leary of Islesboro.

who went to Augusta with him for the cere-

mony, he going directly to the front and his

bride returning home alone. His wife and

their eldest son, James W.. are deceased.

Three daughters and a son, Martha M. Pendle-

ton, Mary C. Colcord, Agnes A. Darby and

Francis X., all of Belfast, and two brothers and

three sisters, Nathan and George. Miss Chris-

tiana Pendleton, Mrs. Lydia Jane Davis and

Mrs. Sarah Hatch, all of Islesboro, survive to

mourn the loss of a true father and brother.

Kealey of Waterville officiating.

James C. Storey, the oldest man in Camden died June 26th at his home in that town, after

a brief illness, aged 91 years. He was born in

bis parents moved to Camden, where he had

since resided. He was at one time in the

grocery business on the site where Carleton &

ed a livery stable on Main street, conducting it until December, 1897, when he retired. In 1852

he sailed to California in the ship Queen of the

East, making the trip around Cape Horn. He

returned to Camden in 1855. Mr. Storey was

the possessor ~f the Boston Post cane. He is

survived by one son, H. D. Storey, owner and

manager of the Storey Shirt Manufacturing- Company in Camden, and one daughter, Mrs.

George Achorn, with whom he resided at the

time of his death. He was one of Camden’s most honored citizens; his word was good as

his bond, hence his success in business. Always of a genial nature, he was popular among all

classes and his death is keenly felt. His children have lost a kind and faithful parent and Camden one of her loyal and kind-hearted citizens.

AMISTAKEN IDEA There are some people who still resort

to drugged pills or alcoholic syrups to

overcome colds, nervousness or general debility, and who know that the pure, unadulterated nourishment in Scott a

Bmulsion is eminently better, but refrain from taking it because thejr fear it may lead to excessive fat or obesity.

This is a mistaken idea, because Scott a

Bmulsion first strengthens the bodybefore making flesh. Its blood-forming proper- ties aia nature to throw off sickness by gliding health from its very source, and

flesh is formed only by its continued use.

Avoid slooholic substitutes for SCOTT’S.

Obituary. The death, June 6th, of Alfred Rich Huxford was the sad ending of a life which opened with promise of unusual happi- ness and successful endeavor. The son of in- telligent and well-to-do parents, his early life

was surrounded by every essential to comfort and happiness. As the only grandson of the Hon. Alfred W. Rich he had the promise of !

any aid necessary to the preparation for a '

successful business career. He received what j education could be obtained in the local schools I

and the Maine Central Institute, and then took I a course in the Portland Business College. He

than began business with a Portland wholesale

firm but came home later to assist his father

in his general store in Brooks. They went into ^

the grain and feed business and built a mill to \ do the grinding, and did a prosperous business until the break in the health of Alfred neces- j sitated his retirement from the business,which j they sold soon after. He was married in 1905 1 to Miss Marian York of Brooks, who died on j June 6, 1913. They had no children. His nice I home was thus broken up.and one year and one

day later he passed over the river at the age of 32 years and 25 days. His disease was early diagnosed as tuberculosis and every effort was

made by his parents to effect a cure. A nice room was fitted up for the cold-air treatment, a trained nurse was provided, and every want was gratified to the greatest possible extent.

A Mexican Refugee’s Story. Mr. Edwin

Cornforth of Thorndike was a caller at The

Journal office last Saturday afternoon and re-

lated some interesting facts concerning the

experience of his son, Herbert R. Cornforth,in leaving Gudalaja, Mexico, several months ago. He had been in Mexico some 32 years, going there when about 19 years of age. His wife and daughter are in Lawrence, Kansas, the former leaving Mexico at the beginning of the trouble and the latter was attending school there. Mr. Cornforth was proprietor of a

wholesale drug store and was given 48 hours’ notice in which to prepare for flight. He boarded up the doors and windows of his build- ings and left things as they were. He has little respect for the authorities at Washing- ton, D. C. The Mexicans burned the Amer- ican flag on the refugee’s train and threw the ashes in the face of Mr. Cornforth and others. He fared better than many of his friends, for some wealthy and influential men have lost all and are being cared for by the Red Cross So-

ciety and in other ways. He hears frequently from them. One says: “As you know I have been a strong Wilson mar.. I have changed my mind. I could curry favor if I wanted to stultify myself, but I would rather lose every dollar I have invested than give people up here a wrong impression of things in Mexico.’ Another friend in writing the news received from Gudalaja that the British flag was to be placed over American property there, says: “The British flag may be O. K., but we know the U. S. A, flag is no good and every time I see the U. S. A. flag 1 get hot.”

The collision on Main street Tuesday noon

of Wm. E. Wight's truck team and Emerson

Poland’s top buggy caused some excitement. Mr. Wight was coming down Main street and

Mr. Poland and his wife coming over High when the pole of Wight’s truck team caught in the wheels of the buggy, overturning it and

throwing its occupants to the ground. The horses behaved well and the assistance near at

hand prevented serious injury, but Mr. and Mrs. Poland were somewhat shaken up.

:< “Psychological Conditions.

[Speech of the Hon. W. S. Humphrey of Wash-

ington, before the New York County Com-

mittee. Murray Hill J.yceum, New York

City, Thursday night, June 18, 1914 ]

The Democratic party went into power upon the general promise that they would

better conditions that had existed in this

country under Republican rule. We have

had now a little more than six months ex-

perience under a Democratic tariff law

and the “New Freedom,’ and what is

the result? Here are some of the re-

sults of a Democratic Administration that waB to bless the nation with unex-

■SttUSSSS'id m although dur- ing 1913 we had but three months of the

Democratic tariff law, and ten months of Democratic Administration, but even

that much Democracy is strikingly dif-

ferent in the results. ,

The bank clearances in 1912 was $4,- 175,000, greater than in 1913.

The number of corporations recorded

in 1912, was $713,000,000 more that those

recorded in 1913. On the last day of January, 1913, the

United States Steel Corporation had or-

ders for 7,850,000 tons of steel. On Jan-

uary 1, 1914, it had orders for 4,250,000 tons. On the first day of this month it

had orders for 3,998,000. What could tell a more distressing story?

Steel is one of the great business

barometers of the nation. Today, more

than one-third of the steel mills in the

entire country are closed. Today, the steel production in this

country is 40 per cent below normal. Today, there are $150,000,000 invested

in idle steel mills. Today, there are a million idle men in

the iron and steel associated industries,

representing a daily payroll of more than

$2,000,000. ...

Today, there are 275,000 miners in this

country out of work that in Republican times were earning $750,000,000 annually.

Today, there are 238,000 idle freigh ears, the largest number in the history of this nation. When the Republican party went out of power there

Today, there are more then 500,000 railroad men out of employment tnat

were receiving more than a million oo-

lats a day in wages when Woodrow Wil-

son went into the White House. Today, the wage-earners of this na-

tion are losing more than $5,000,wo every twenty-four hours.

In six months, the Democratic admin-

istration has wiped out an annual pay- roll of more than $800,000,000.

This $5,000,000 each day has been fuiron fpnm thp ordinary channels of

trade. This has brought depression and

financial ruin to every business and to

every section of the country, this $5,-

000,000 in wages daily taken from the

working people of this nation means that

the workmen of this country are spend- ing $5,000,000 less each day for bread

and clothes and the other necessaries of

life than they did a year ago. There are 300,000 idle men in New

York; 200,000 idle men in Chicago; oO.OOU idle men in Pittsburgh; 25,000 idle men

in San Francisco. We are facing the awful problem of unemployed every- where. There are more idle men in this

nation today than ever before. Every day that the Democratic party

has been in power we have bought more

from the foreigner and sold him less.

Every day we have lost in pur foreign trade more than half a million dollars.

Every day ihe nation has gone in debt

half a million dollars. Every day the

number of unemployed has increased.

Every day mills and factories have closed.

Every day since this Democratic admin-

istration went into power more than 10,- 000 men have been forced into idleness.

Every day the wage earners of this na-

tion are losing more than $5,000,000. Every day that Woodrow Wilson has

been in the White Douse the business of this nation has decreased more than

twenty million dollars, lhis is the

price of Democracy. This is the price

that the Deople pay to have the affairs of this nation controlled by academic doctors and efficiency experts, by gowned theorists and scholarly dreamers, by pedantic pundits and Chautauqua pel- formers, by learned allusionists and

grape-juice statesmen. But we are told that all this is merely

psychological. The President has as-

sured the country that what it needs

is more legislation. He has assured the

country that there is nothing wrong with

Democratic administration, or with Dem-

ocratic laws. The only difficulty is that

the business men of the nation are too

stupid to appreciate the blessings that

have been bestowed upon them, the

only remedy proposed is to give them

more of what they have already re-

ceived, The president has served notice on the country that Congress is to be

kept in session ail summer to enact

further legislation that will practically destroy what little business is left.

It may be psychological, but it is a

truth that no candid man can deny that

every day that Congress stays in session

that business grows less. The greatest blessing that this Congress could possi- bly bestow upon the country would be to

adjourn and never meet again. There is this slight consolation, however, that while Congress is in session destroying the business of the country they are also

destroying what remains of the now dis- credited Democratic party. The busi- ness men of the nation have appealed in

vain to the President to stop further

legislation, but his reply has been that

they simply imagine that they are being ininppd.

CAPTURING THE MARKETS OF THE WORLD

Under the Underwood Tariff law that

brought to us the benign blessings of

the “new freedom” we are to go forth and capture the markets of the world. We have had our wits sharpened by com-

petition with the rest of mankind. It would appear to be the part of wisdom to stop and see how the Democratic tariff law has worked.

In my own State the new Democratic tariff law immediately closed more than 60 per cent of our shingle mills, threw

8,000 men out of employment, and these mills are closed today. It immediately' opened the mills of British Columbia that for months had been closed, and they have been running ever since and 95 per cent of their output is sold in the United States. The price of shingles has not

been reduced to the consumer. We now

pay the same price for foreign shingles that we paid tor those produced in this

country. More than $2,000,000 in wages isnow

being taken from theAmerican workman in this country and given to the China- man, the Japanese and the Hindu in

British Columbia. During the first six months of the

present Democratic tariff law 33,000,000 pounds of tin plate valued at $1,334,000 was imported into this country, ten times as much as was brought into this coun-

try during the last six months of the Re-

publican tariff law. This nation, during the six months un-

der a Democratic tariff used less tin plate than it had during the last six months under a Republican tariff. This means

one million dollars in work and wages taken from the men who work in indus- tries of this country and given to foreign labor. ...

Thousands of tons of foreign steel manufactured by foreign cheap labor is

going to San Francisco and Seattle. Thousands of tons of pigiron is coming

into these ports from China produced by labor paid from 6c. to 8c. per day.

Thousands of tons of cotton ties are

going into tha ports of Galveston, New

Orleans and Savannah to be used by the southern cotton planter.

During the last month of the Republi- can tariff law the Pittsburg Steel Com- pany that manufactures cotton ties paid to its workmen $194,000 every two

Now it pays to these workmen $14,000 every two weeks. The rest of this pay- roll, $160,000 every two weeks has been taken from them and given to the for-

eigner. More than three thousand men

that worked for this company are out of employment wondering how they are go- ing to earn their daily bread.

Only a few days ago. the National Tube Company of McKeesport, Pa., closed throwing out of employment 2,- 500 men. Their work and their wages have been taken from them and given to

foreigners. During the first three months of 1914

under a Democratic tariff law our sale of cotton goods to the foreigner decreased $1,200,000. Our purchases during the same period increased $2,100,000 or a

balance in favor of the foreigner of $3,- 300,000. ^

During the first three months of 1914, our imports of woolen and worsted goods were $7,664,370, under a Democratic law. During the first three months of 1913 they were $2,254,010 under a Repub- lican tariff, or a balance of $5,410,360 in favor of the foreigner in three months.

In three months after the Underwood law went upon the statute books Brad-

ford, the great woolen and worsted cen-

ter of England, increased its sale of these goods to the United States 280 per cent. \ Comparing this year with last year, during the month of March the amount we sold abroad at the port of New York alone decreased $11,000,000.

During the month of April at the same

port it decreased $12,000,000, or a loss in our foreign markets of $23,000,000 in two months at this one po:t.

Tmnnrta inprpnspd for the 8&m6 tWO

months in the port of New York alone

$26,000,000. In other words, during March and April of this year under this Democratic tariff law that was to give us the markets of the world the balance in favor of the foreigner at the port of New York alone was $46,000,000,or to put it in another way, under the Democratic tariff law now upon the statute books we

are losing our foreign markets at the rate of $276,000,000 per year through this one port. Cur tremendous loss of trade is shown more strikingly still when you remember that our imports of material used in manufacturing has decreased in the first six months under the Under- wood law more than $48,000,000. Each month since the figures show a still greater loss of foreign trade.

During April, 1914, the last month for which figures are available, as compared with April, 1913, we bought from the

foreigner $36,000,000 more and sold him $37,000,000 less, or a balance in favor of the foreigner in a single month under the Democratic law that was to give us

the markets of the world of $73,000,000. During the first six months of the Un-

derwood law our foreign trade decreased more than $100,000,000 as compared with the first six Jmonths under the Payne law. Our imports since the Underwood law has gone upon the statute books in six months have decreased 37 per cent. 1 Our exports during the same six months under the Underwood law have decreased 31 per cent. This shows how we are cap- I

luring the markets of the world under : the “new freedom.” This shows the result of sharpening our wits in compe- tition with the cheap labor of foreign nations.

During the first six months of the new

tariff law as compared with the old tar-

iff law our revenue has decreased $25,- 090,000 during the same period. The excess of expenditures over receipts has been $37,090,000. During the same pe- riod last year under the Republican tariff the excess of receipts over expenditures was $7,500,000, or a balan: e in favor of the Republican tariff law in six months of $44,500,000.

Every day this Democratic Congress is expending more money than the nation is receiving. I predict that it will be but a few months more until we will have to again issue bonds to raise money to pay the running expenses of govern- ment, a thing that has not been done since the last Democratic Administration under Grover Cleveland. A Democratic Administration and en pty treasury! What memories of the past those words recall.

during cutting and drawing pains down my right side which increased every month. I have been at that time purple in the face and would

walk the floor. I could not lie down or

sit still sometimes for a day and a night at a time. I was nervous, and had very little appetite, no ambition, melancholy, and often felt as though 1 had not a

friend in the world. After I had tried most every female remedy without suc-

cess, my mother-in-law advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I did so and gained in

strength every day. I have now no trou- ble in any way and highly praise your medicine. It advertises itself."—Mrs. S. T. Hurley, Eldon, Missouri.

Remember, the remedy which did this was Lydia E. Pinjcham’s Vegetable Compound. For sale everywhere

It has helped thousands of women who have been troubled with displace- ments, infl animation, ulceration, tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing down feeling, indigestion, and nervous prostration, after all other means have failed.

GRADUATION AT CASTINE.

The graduating exercises of the

Castine Normal school were held June 23d

at the Normal Building. As the class

was the largest ever graduated from this

school, it made the number of relatives and friends present far larger than ever

before, every department of the large building being filled to its capacity, and most interesting teaching exercises were listened to. The Domestic Science department between the hours of 10 and 12 was crowded, they having the op- portunity of seeing the D. Class, prepare fruit salad, sponge pudding and cream cakes. The class worked with ease and showed a great amount of interest in their work. Their cooxing came out first-class, and those present had the chance of sampling the dainties. Other departments visited were full of interest. The children’s rooms all proved interest- ing; the little folks all arrayed in their best with their bright faces and ready answers were most attractive. During the day a large chorus made up of stu-

dents, conducted by Dr. Philbrook, furnished fine singing.

At Emerson Hall in the evening the following exercises were carried out most successfully. March; prayer; music; Salutatory, Montessori and her Work, Sylvia E. Richardson, Burlington; Essay, The Value of the Study of English, Eu- nice A. Keller, Islesboro; music; Essay, The Country vs the City, Russell C. Dodge, Boothbay; Class History, Agnes 0. Hibbert, Castine; music: Essay, The Marble Lies Waiting, Lillian 1. Ryder, Winterport; music; Valedictory, Madon nas in Art. Blanche C.

CLASS ODE.

Classmates, a ling’ring last farewell. Our boats must soon be in the tide. When we shall meet no one can tell; The seas are rough, the world is wide.

With loyal love, we coine today To raise our colors to the mast; Help us, dear friends, to launch away, Our time to go has cume at last.

Hand clasping hand, no dread of seas Shall wring irom us weak, foolish tears; May Heaven grant us fav’ring breeze. Guide safe our boats through coming years.

Farewell, dear classmates, teachers dear! Farewell, farewell, for many a day; We’ll greet our life witn smiling cheer. Nor idly long at anchor sway.

THE WILSON ADMINISTRATION AND THE VETERANS.

A California Congressman’s Tribute to the Veterans of the Civil War.

Washington, June 29, 1914. The dis- missal of union veterans of the CivilWar from the Washington City postoffice has

brought a storm of criticism on the Wil- son administration, Senators and Rep- resentatives in Congress have taken up the veterans’ fight and a thorough inves- tigation is promised. The Honorable Julius Kahn, Representative from Cal- ifornia, in a recent speech, paid the fol- lowing tribute to the living veterans of the Civil War:

“It is well to remember the dead, but let us not forget our duty to the living. And especially to those living soldiers and sailors who, in the years of their youth, were ready to sacrifice their lives, if need be, upon the altar of a united country. Their number is diminishing rapidly. Most of them have lived far be- yond man’s allotted period of three scort years and ten. Comparatively few of them have been able to draw substantial prizes in the lottery of life. This is es-

pecially true of the rank and file. Many of them were mere boys when they en- listed. But they hacKthe hearts of men

within iheir breasts. They were ready to perform and often did perform the

| valorous deeds of bearded men. Their age was not deemed an obstacle to the faithful and honest performance of du'y to their country. Their services were

welcomed gladly by a great and grateful Government. Some of these, after they had grown to man’s estate, after they had laid aside the implements of war, after they had been honorably dis- charged from the military service, de- cided to serve their country still in its civil service. Just as they had performed their duty faithfully and honestly on the tented field, so they performed their duty faithfully and honestly in the exec- utive departments of this Government.

true, they nave grown weary ana old in that service. Is that a fault? Has old age grown to be a crime? Some men

clothed with a little brief authority would make it so. But their actions will be resented as it should be by the citi- zens of this Government. The proverb- ial ingratitude of Republics must not ap- ply to these men. The compensation they received while in the very heyday of their lives, while in the fullest vigor of their faculties, was not a princely fortune. Many of them had families to rear. Many of them have not been able to save much from their meager compen- sation for the almost inevitable rainy day. Some of them have become super- annuated. To my mind it is a disgrace to our country that they have been thus thrust out, at an advanced age, on the very threshold of the grave, to fight the battles of iife in competition with their fellow men. At best, their years will be few. Even if they were totally inca- pacitated, which they are not, it would be a fitting recognition of their past services to continue them in the public service until they peacefully close their eyes in death,

‘‘The few dollars that will be saved as

the result, of the discharge of these aged men will be squandered probably in some

less deserving cause. But how can you assuage the sorrow, the grief, the pain, that must come to these old veterans when they are told that this great Amer- ican Commonwealth which they helped to save must throw them adrift in their declining days in order to make room for younger men.”

office. The consular service is protected bv an executive order. Except in rare cases when the President gets aside the order, candidates for consulates must pass examinations for entry into the lower grades. Then they are promoted on their records.

Although it has taken shocking liber- ties with the diplomatic service, the

present Administration has shrunk so

far from looting the consulates. Tne only very flagrant case of spoilsmanship in this service was the cause of a sharp discussion in the House of Representa- tives the other day. In order to pay off some personal obligation the President appointed as consul to Jerusalem an

elderly New Jersey clergyman of South- ern connections, the Rev. Otis A Glaze- brook. As Representative Gillett of Massachusetts told the House, there is an extra-territorial jurisdiction in Jeru- salem and the consul is required to act in a judicial rapacity. Nobody could, therefore, be less qualified for such a

delicate post than an elderly American theologian without legal or consular ex-

perience. The President had promised to observe

the executive order protecting consuls, except where the good of the service re-

quired a departure from it. But in the most conspicuous departure which he has made the good of the service was

entirely forgotten. What can be ex-

pected if the Administration is to have a

free hand in selecting the new corps of commercial attaches? The new service instead of being made a helpful instru- ment for the promotion of foreign trade will be turned into a retreat for the broken down or a relief station for the hungry and thirsty.

By classifying and protecting the at- taches Mr. Redfield had a chance to con-

tribute something substantial toward the development of an efficient foreign commercial service. Instead he has only furnished a new list of attractive jobs for the spoilsmen.

DISINHERITED.

[From the Portland, Oregon, Journal J In spite of Mexican misfortunes, there

are Americans who are warlike when the battle is afar, that still clamor for the American army to be sent to the capital. There are newspaper generals who sit in swivel chairs with martial air and write screaming demands for the letting of Mexican blood, regardless of the cost in American lives.

It is a cruel cry. The Mexicans are a landless people in a land of fabulous riches. They are trespassers in their own country. Mexico is the most conspicuous example

of absentee landlordism in the world, as was declared from his pulpit by Dr. John Boyd of Portland, Sunday. All the arable land in Mexico is owned by 7,000 families. Once, thousands of small tracts were in the hands of small farmers, but under the land policy of Porfirio Diaz it passed into the hands of a great landlording class, largely alien. W. R. Hearst, the newspaper man, owns a million acres, and General Otis, a newspaper publisher of Los Angeles, is owner of another million.

The oil lands, which ore believed to be even more extensive than those in Russia or the United States, were given over to foreigners almost entirely by Dias. Lord Co wormy owns 68 per cent of the Tampico district, and his company pays annaal

dividends of $8,500,000. A similar status prevails in the mining

properties. The rich deposits of the Mexi can mountains have been seized and held through Diaz concessions by foreigners. The Guggenheims own vast properties served by five great smelters which yield an annual income of many millions.

The mining properties of Mexico as at

present developed, are valued at $647,- 000,000. The terrible story of how a

people have been robbed of their birth- right is told in the fact that the Ameri- can mine holdings are $500,000,000, the British $87,000,000, and the Mexican $29,- 000,000.

Meanwhile the average Mexican is clad in cotton trousers, a cotton shirt, a gaudy blanket, and he works for a few cents a

day and keeps his wife and children in an adobe hut. Unschooled, unlettered and disinherited he is without estate in the land of his nativity. He is a tenant on the inheritance that descended to him by birth.

He is the pathetic object whom Ameri- can gentlemen on horseback demand that that the great Republic shall pursue with fire and sword.

Literary News and Notes.

The July Popular Mechanics Magazine contains, all told, 335 articles and 356 illustrations. H. H. Windsor dis- cusses, “The Misplaced Factory” and ‘Sleeping on his A rms, the latter treat-

ing of business and industrial conditions in the United States. There are many page views and groups of views, some of them showing: Guns used to guard the Panama Canal; the Cape Cod Canal, now nearing completion; the Alaskan government-built railroad routes; scenes

attending the taking of Vera Cruz by the United States forces (six pages); pulling down the walls of Jerusalem; building military roadB in the Philippines; a strange funeral custom of an African tribe, etc. The Shop Notes and Ama- teur Mechanics departments are full of

practical, carefully prepared material. Six pages were added to the magazine with the July number, and they were

used to enlarge the Amateur Mechanics department. All the articles^are “writ- ten so you can understand it."

The July Strand contains a number of interesting articles, one of the best be-

ing a well-illustrated account of how the American Cup defenders are built. George R. Sims, the well-known drama-

tist, writes on "Clever Detective Feats, giving many interesting cases which have happened within the last twenty or thirty years. “The Latest Develop- ment in the Teaching of the Blind” is another interesting article dealing with a subject which is attracting a great deal of well-deserved attention at the

present time. In this article the curious fact is slated that people blind from their birth have no conception of the actual sizes of animals and people. One boy, for instance, who recovered his sight, expressed the greatest terror at the im- mensity of his parents. “Heroines of the Film” will be appreciated by all ad- mirers of moving-picture actresses. A

generous amount of fiction by well-known writers may also be found in thi; month’s issue of The Strand. r\.,tL/> mnof ntorpsfincr nrtip|p« :n

the July Wide World is entitled “Uncle Sam’s ‘‘Floating Court,’” by Walter Noble Burns, who describes and illus- trates the manner in which the United States Government administers justice among the Eshimos, whalers, and the scattered white population of the far northern Alaskan coast, Behring Sea, and the Arctic Many strange cases are

brought to tht judges and The tasks

they are called upon to perform are

varied, amusing and sometimes tragic. “Pussy-Foot of Oklahoma” deals with William E Johnson, late head of the Bureau of the United States Indian Ser- vice,and his successful efforts to“smash” the outlaws of Oklahoma who were sell- ing vile spirits to the Indians and gener- ally defying the law. In “Advertising fora Wife," Lucius L. Wittich, of Jop- lin, Mo., describes how Colonel Worth, a

millionaire mine-owner of Joplin, tried this experiment and thereby narrowly escaped a horrible death. Other articles deal with"Picture-Huntingin Hungary,” “My Experiences in Western Papua,” “A Coyote Round-Up,” “East Africa as

I Saw it,” “Our Battle with the Head- Hunters,’’and many other subjects of world wide interest.

In the July American Magazine “Ed- die” Collins of the Philadelphia Athle- tics, whom “Johnny” McGraw of the New York Giants has called the greatest baseball player in the world, writes an

article entitled“Pitchers I Have Faced,” in which he tells many stories of his ex-

periences with the most wonderful base- ball pitchers in the major leagues. In the same issue Stephen Leacock, who is called the “Canadian Mark Twain,” be- gins a new comic series entitled “Arca- dian Adventures with the Idle Rich.” Under the title “The Part Money Plays in Marriage” a man who has bad twenty- five years’ experience as a husband re-

ports some of his adventures in the mar-

riage relation. Richard Spillane, a news-

paper man. writing under the title, “Through Hurricane and Flood,” con-

tributes a wonderful story founded on

actual experiences in the Galveston dis- aster. Ray Stannard Baker, writing an-

other letter from the field in his series entitled “Seeing America,” describes a

daily newspaper advertising campaign conducted on behalf of the churches in Baltimore. Albert Hickman, contribut- ing an article entitled “The Sea Sled,” reports experiences in developing a new

type of fast motor boat. Fiction is con-

tributed by Marjorie Benton Cooke, whose serial story “Bamby” is making a

great impression; Number 6606, a con-

vict in a western peniten’iary, who tells another “Boston Blackie” story; and Re- becca Hooper Eastman, who writes a

story entitled “That Awful Bill,” which is a report of an adventure treating of a

wife’s financial affairs.

The Atlantic for July opens with “A Message to the Middle Class,” which is at once a warning and an appeal. Sey- mour Deming, whose paper on “Our In- stinctive Idiocies’ in the May number has already won for him the interested attention of Atlantic readers, here criticizes the middle ciass attitude to- ward social phenomena and industrial crises, and suggests a means by which harmony between the classes may be promoted. Mr. Deming’s sympathetic and impassiored presentation of the case for the workingman is followed by “A Reply” signed by E. S., in whom the middle class finds an able and spirit- ed defender. Among the liberary essay- its, John Jay Chapman makes a notable contribution to the criticism of Greek literature and its interpreters in “The Greek Genius”; and Charles H. A. Wager, who appears for the first time in the Atlantic, justifies with intimate appreciation the hesitations of Erasmus and his temperamental kin, in “A Plea for Erasmians.” The Jelly-fish and Equal Suffrage,” by C. William Beebe, another new contributor, and "What of Coeducation ?” by Zona Gale, discuss with sanity and good humor two impor- tant phases of feminism. The question of education, irrespective of sex, is further treated by James Mascarene Hubbard in his review of the Carnegie Foundation’s recent investigation of education in Vermont; and Robert M. Gay’s “In Those Days” merrily depicts the sell-conscious miseries of the newly fledged pedagogue. Gamaliel Bradford, whose Confederate Portraits have been among the most widely read of Atlantic essays, begins in this number his series of Union Portraits with “Joseph Hook- er,” of Massachusetts. Robert Haven Schauffler, in “Some Enthusiasms I have Known,” and U. V. Wiison, another new

name, in “At Seventy-Three and Be- yond,” give us the reactions of life upon the native optimist in 'youth and age. The Rev. Bernard Iddings Bell advances a new paradox in “The Danger of Tol- erance in Religion,” and “The Rain of Law,”by William D.Parkinson,criticizes constructively our legislative excesses. Gino C. Speranza gives us another story of immigrant life, in “Wander”; “Flag- Root;” by Lucy Huston Sturdevant, is a touching picture of mother-love; and ,‘The Wickedness of Father Veiera,” by

Wilbur Daniel Steele, ia a shivery tale of sea-serpent and a lovable and heroic little priest. The poems are “My Lady,” a

delicately lilting Wordsworthian episode, by Olive Tilford Dargan, and “A Post Silent,” hy Alice Brown, who so lately won the prize for the $10,000 play. The closing article, “The Problem of the As- sociated PresB. is a discussion charac- terized by fairness and insight. The Contributors’ Club contains humor fantasy, and a lesson in academic polite- ness.

RECENT DEATHS/

Thomas D. Eaton died June 19th at his home in Winterport, aged 74 years. He had been in poor health for a long time and his death was not. unexpected. Mr. Eaton Was a man of genial person- ality ^and .much respected by all. He was a veteran of the Civil War and a

member of the Methodist Episcopal church, Howard lodge. F. & A. M., and Cushing chapter, O. E. S. Mr. Eaton leaves to mourn their loss, a wife, a son, Charles R. Eaton of Winterport, and a

daughter, -Mrs. Percy N. Hall of Brewer The funeral was held in the Methodist Episcopal church, June 23d, Rev. A. J. Lockhart officiating. The Masonic bur- ial service was read and that lodge at- tended.

Capt. Mark Ingraham, a former well known commander in the Boston and Bangor steamboat service, died June 24th at his home in Rockland, having nearly reached his 88th birthday. He was the last of six brothers, who were

widely known along the New England coast as commanders of steamboats or coasting vessels. Capt. Ingraham began his 57 years of seafaring as cook on a

small tishing vessel, being then but 11 years of age. During the 40’s he sailed before the mast in the ship Charlemagne ; and the brig Sayline, making voyages to

many foreign ports. Returning to the I coasting business he commanded the ] schooners Equal, Otter, Neponset, Min- nie Cobb, chase and Joseph Farwell. I mice units lie was ucai ucaui vyuhc

commander of the schooner Chase. Re- turning to Rockland in 1879 he was as-

signed as pilot of the steamer Cambridge, which had just been placed on the line between Bangor and Boston. The craft was commanded by his brother, Capt. Otis Ingraham. After one season in this capacity he was given the command of the steamer Mt. Desert,running between Rockland and Bar Harbor. This was the beginning of 21 years’ service as a

steamboat captain. Capt. Ingraham is survived by one daughter, Mrs. James McKenzie of Attleboro, Mass., and two sons, Albert F. Ingraham of Whitefield and Frank W. Ingraham of Enfield.

Mrs. Esther R. Burrill, widow of Wiilis S. Burrill, died June 24th at the home of her daughter, Mrs. E. M. Jepson, in Watervilie, aged 77 years, 11 months and 20 days. Mrs. Burrill was born in Brooks- ville, the daughter of John B. and \Jane Dyer Redman, and much of her early life was spent in Belfast. After her marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Burrill lived in Oakland where, during the last 16 years of his life, Mr. Burrill was an invalid and was tenderly cared for by his faithful wife. After the death of her husband, i Mrs. Burrill went to Watervilie, where I she had lived with her daughter 15 years. Hers was one of those rare, sunny na-

; tures, whom to know was to love, and during her stay in Watervilie she made many friends who will miss her cheery ways and pleasant greetings. Mrs. Bur- rill had been an invalid for four years and a great sufferer, but during all this time was the same sweet, patient, un-

complaining soul, enjoying life and gath- ering many young people about her who loved her companionship. Mrs. Burrill was a member of the Methodist church and the Ladies’ Aid connected with the church, the members of which contribut- ed to her pleasure many times during her long illness. She also belonged to the W. C. T. U. and was deeply interested in the work. Her family relations since i she had lived in Watervilie were of the! happiest. No owi^ son could have been more mindful of her welfare nor J administered more tenderly to her wants | than had Mr. Jepson since she came into j his home, and her daughter was ever de- !

voted to her mother. The sunset of her life was indeed pleasant, and she crossed the river with the feeling that she was

going home and was happy in the thought. Besides Mr. and Mrs. Jepson, 1

she leaves to mourn their loss, two sons, Willis S. Burrill of Plymouth, Mas?., and Frank E. Burrill of Lisbon Center; ong brother, Charles P. Redman of Thomaston, who is the last of a family of six, and four grandchildren, Walter, Grace and Ruth, children of Willis, and and Florence, daughter of Frank Burril1. , The two latter are at the Jepson home at the present time. The funeral was held at the home Friday afternoon at two o’clock. Rev. Henry C. Turner officiat- \ ing and the burial was in the family lot1 in Oakland.

THE DISAPPEARING SAIL.

The Significance of a Change Which

Lloyd’s Has at Last Made.

[London Times.] Various feelings are stirred by the par-

agraph which appeared in a recent issue on the “Passing of the Sailing Ship.’’ It was there stated that in the future the special sign (s) to indicate steamers will be discontinued in Lloyd’s announce- ments. The names of steamers will be shown without any distinguishing marks, but the names of sailing vessels will be indicated by the sign (s. v.) The inti- mation indicates the great change which has come over the mercantile marine of the world within a comparatively few years. Taking the statistical tables of Lloyd’s Register for 1888 89, or a quarter of a century ago, we find that the world’s tonnage was represented by 22,402 sail- ing vessels of 9,496,603 net tons, as

against 10,260 steamers of 7,414,954 net

tons, whereas today there are but 6,694 sailing vessels of 3,890,936 tons, as com-

pared with 23,897 steamers of 26,517,029 net tons.

The passing of the sailing ship is like the passing of an old friend. Many who are now middle-aged were given as boys to wandering round the docks, which were full of sailing vessels returned from distant shor s. There were many ships from Australia and South America, redo- lent with romance and adventure. The supersession of the sailing ship is largely in response to an economic demand. Let it be remembered that even today there are certain sailing ships which in the matter of speed can almost hold their own with the ordinary tramp steamer. Looked at from an artiBtic point of view, the steamships cannot compare with the sailing ship. Take some of the sailing vessels of the sixties, the Aberdeen clipper liners Thermopylae and Thya- tera, and the Chinese clippers such as Sir Lancelot, Black Adder, Cutty Sark and Fiery Cross. Who can forget the famous race home which took place between two of these, the Ariel and Taeping? Starting from Foochoo together they lost Bight of on e another

_____ I

till they reached the English Channel and arrived in port with half an hour’s dif- ference, after racing for over three months on end. And brave, fine things they looked as they sped onwards with their white wings unfurled to the breeze. The Thermopylae had a marvellous ca-

pacity for speed. In one day she sailed 380 statute miles, or an average of six- teen miles an hour, and she made the passage home from China in ninety-one lays. These were names to conjure with in the sixties. The Thermopylae was a

composite clipper of 947 tons register. Her dimensions were 210x36x21 feet. Mer. talked of these sailing vessels as if they were real personalities. One of the most famous of them was the Macquarie — an iron barque built in 1875 by Green’s }f London. Her registered tonnage was

1977, her length 269.8 feet, her beam 40.1 j feet and her depth 23.7 feet. In her day she was a famous beauty, and, after be-' ing sold to Norwegian o-vners, is ending her days as a hulk somewhere in Aus- tralia. ^fie fact remains that in spite of their |

charm their day is done and that owners are rapidly discarding them for steam- ships. With them goes much of the ro-

mance connected with the sea. Shorter voyages,quicker discharge, greater speed are the order of the day. Vessels are

worked today from no altruistic point of view, and the chances are that before many years are passed the large sailing ship will have passed entirely away. British owners in particular are lea ling the van in this direction. In twenty- five years the British sailing tonnage has decreased from 3,500,000 to 255,000. | It is a long cry from the “wooden bul- warks” of England to the finely equip- ped steel steamship of today, but our

commercial and economic pre-eminence ! was won for us by men who sailed “be- I fore the mast” and their achievements will remain for years to come the pride | of the British peoples.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S

CASTOR I A THE CONGREGATIONAL CONFERENCE

/The Waldo County Association of Con-

gregational churches held a very enthusi- astic and profitable meeting with the

church in Frankfort June 24th. An im-

portant feature of the meeting was the

appointment of what is to be known as a

council committee composed of Rev.

Charles H. McElhiney of Searsport, Rev. Haraden S. Pearl of Belfast, Rev. Harry Trust of Stockton and Sandy- point, Deacon Harry M. Prentiss of Bel- fast, and James Duncan of Searsport. In connection with this Willis G. Hatch and Elon B, Gilchrist of Belfast will act in the matter of taking in charge the legacy and equalizing fund of Waldo county.

Next month, about the 20th, the mem-

bers of the Council committee, together <vith State Superintendent Rev. Charles Harbutt of Portland, will visit every church in the field, meeting with the pastors and holding service and consulta- tions. The object of this is to strengthen each church by fellowship and co-opera- tion, one with another. In this way a

greater growth and efficiency is hoped fcr.

The following officers were elected: Rev. Haraden S. Pearl of Belfast, mod- erator for this year in place of Rev. D. L. Wilson, who has moved away; James Duncan of Searspon, vice moderator; W. G. Hatch of North Belfast, registrar and treasurer.

The financial report showed that the field has been very successful, meeting all its obligations.

Devotional service were conducted by Rev. Mr, Cairn of Brooks. A glowing sermon was given in the morning by Rev. Charles H. McElhiney of Searsport, who spoke on “Forms of Worship.” His talk was most interesting and given in his convincing and earnest manner.

He was followed by Rev. C. W. Col- lier of Bangor, on “Some Aspects of the State Work.” Rev. Charles Harbutt of 1

Portland, the-State superintendent, then continued the subject, giving many practical illustrations of what is being done in Maine, by the Congregational churches.

Rev. Harry Trust then gave a talk on

“The Spiritual Decline of the Country Church.”

Rev. Haraden S. Pearl followed with a talk on “Some Problems of the Church.”

Communion was administered by Rev. j G. G. Martin, professor of theology of the Bangor Theological Seminary and by Rev. C. McElhiney of Searsport. 1

The meetings were considered by all

present to be the most profitable vet

held and much enthusiasm is the result, j

HELP THE KIDNEYS Belfast Readers Are Learning the Way.

DO YOU NEED BUILDING UP? There are conditions of ill health in

which no one particular organ appears to beat fault, ycttlie patient is niiseiableand unab'o to pursue the activities of daily life with vigor and enjoyment. Some- times the cause is attributed to the im-

agination but the patient knows that the

debility is real. The remedy evidently is a medicine

that will benefit the whole system rather than a part. The blood reaches every- where and an improvement in its quality is quickly followed by an improvement in the whole organism. l*r. \\ illiams’ Pink Pills make a visible improvement in the condition of the blood. The micro- Bcope will verify this improvement but the patient can see it in the mirror as shown by increased color in cheeks and lips and added brightness of the eyes. There will also be anew elasticity in the Btep. These things record an improved tone in the body and if this tonic treat- ment is persisted in for a reasonable length of time, depending upon the de- gree of debility, the condition of ill health will be removed.
