Wreck.

The sailors rescued from the wreck of the
morning Their story of the wreck does not
differ from that told in yesterdays PRESS.
Mr.. Jordan, of RichmOnd's Island, said, yes
terday, that when he went to the shore, in
the midst of the gale, the fous sailors stood
there. unable to do anything, for they didn't
know how, While the four men in the rigging
of the vessel were screaming for help. When
the mainmast broke it carried one of the
mates into the water, and the foremost took
the cook with it, frantically cliEging to the
ropes. The mate floated past, praying to us
in the name of God to save him, and finally
relaxed his hold and sunk, while the cook
was swamped by huge wave. The captain
aud other mate went down when the yess ell
broke in two.
The captain. Geo. Spear. was married and
leaves one boy in Rnckport The mates were
named Robinson. of Machias, and Foster
Gardiner of Rockport, and the cook was
Charles Higgins of Rockport The two latter
men were between % and 80 years of age and
unmarried.
The vessel was loaded with 40S tons of coal
and consigned to Joseph II. Poor of this city.
1t was fully insured and Mr.. Poor will lose
nothing.
The shore is lined with wreckage and coal,
the latter foot deep. The submarine diver,
Mr. Gordon, intended to try and recover the
bodies Yesterday afternoon. The people in
the vicinity saved about 70 tons of coal yes
terday.

The Turnyerein Exhibition.

The Portland Turnverein are to be con-
graduated on the admirable performance
given bs The Association at City Hall last
evening. There have been many displays of
skill, power, grace and endurance, on the
part of the Turnverein, in years past but we
doubt il a more satisfactory one than that of
last night. 1t is unnecessary for us to re-
peat all that we have said for several days
past, calling attention to every Individual
act, or to all of the performers. The con-
staut applause of individual performers, as
well MS the strong demonstrations of pleas
ure at each feat or group of feats, showed
that the audience was fully en- rapport with
their entertainers, was critical, knew what
was what, and was certain it was getting it,
From the flying rings which introduced one
set ofperformers, TO the pyramids which
closed the exhibition, everything went OFF
smoothly and with the precision that marks
professionals. Mr.. j. Everett Doldt, the in
struetor, was especially.ine, and his balanc-
ing, yaulting and other feats, brought down
the house Mr. A. w. Lowell's balancing,
leaping and jumping; Master G. III. Fosters
leading Of the Indian club exercise, which
was executed with great precision and grace
by the class; Mr.. q. X. Lees special Indian
club exercise, which was deseryedy en-
cored; Mr. 4. o. HASKELL striking perform
ance on the parallel bars; the Gladiator act
by MessIs. Durham and Laughlin; these
were all remarkable, and were all accom-
panied by excellent music provided by Prof.
Nj. b. Gilberts favorite orchestra MIR. j. IL.
Hammond's cut off and catch upon the rings
was well done and an extremely difficult
feat, deserving of especial notice. Mr.. Ham,
mond was the recipient Of handsome bcu-
quet.
The audience last night was composed of
as representative class of citizens, both
ladies and gentlemen, as is ever seen in City
Hall. 1t was a splendid assemblage and one
the Society could well be proud of. After
the exhibition Pr order of ten dances was
enjoyed, and a delicious supper was served in

clorying In Their shame.

To the Editor of the Press:
There are hundreds of Democrats in this
city who have asserted time and time again
that General Neal Dow was an enemy to
Portland's prosperity; that his course had
driven thousands from our city; that he was
a fanatic; one idea man, who if he could
have his way would be a tryant; that his
principles were detrimental to our STATE, at
the same time heaping curses upon him and
charging him with every sort of unworthy
motive In fact Democrats for years have
instilled into the minds of every Zone that
they could influence the idea that MIR. Dow
was the synonyme of all that was oppressive,
and impracticable. 1t is no secret, it has
not been said in corner. The Argus has
proclaimed it with big head lines. He has
been painted in the most repulsve colors in
Democratic papers.
The same men who have so hated him now
propose to vete for him, and are laboring to
elevate him to the chief magistracy of the
city to which they alege he has been so
great an enemy. They propose to reward
him for the evil they allege he has done.
They are discovering their ridiculous inc0n-
sistency to an astonished world that is look
ing on amazed to see such violation of the
spirit of suffrage. How men can satisfy
their self respect after such a performance Is
a mystery to CONSISTENCY.

authorities will not insure against the use OF
the objectionable articles altogether, for the
manufacturers when the fact is published
that a particular brand contains alum, VIII
simply change the name. and the sale goes
on as before. Large quantities OF these
goods are also sold in bulk, by weight, while
there are hundreds of different brands put
bv small dealers in different parts OF the
country where the public analyst is not yet
known.
Official examinations like those by the
Massachusetts and Ohio authorities, which
give reliable information as to the real quail
tiles of articles of food and furnish guide
by which consumers can determine the pure
and wholesome from the impure and dan
gerous without chance of mistake. are OF
great public benefit.
The Massachusetts analysts have tested
the various cream of tartar and phosphate
baking powders sold in the State, and their
report that the Royal baking powder is SUI
perior to all others in purity and wholesome
ness. and contains nearly 20 per cent more
strength than any other, is quite as import
ant to consumers as the information relat-
ing to the alum powders. The exact deter
mination as to strength of the several brands
was as follows, the figures representing the
number of cubic inches of leavening gas
from one ounce of powder: Royal. 12615;
Cleveland's, 1917; Congress, S1.2; Hors-
ford's, 951.
A very earnest is being made to
secure the passage by Congress OF
law that shall foster the trade
in pure food. The proposed law
provides for the examination of manu-
featured articles of food, drink and drugs,
and for the publication, in the manner al
ready adopted in Ohio and Massachusetts,, of
the names of those brands found adulterated
or injurious to health A law of this charac-
ter, that shall impose suitable penalties upon
importers and manufacturers of such COM
modities. will be of vital Importance to the
whole country.
