The Danger OF surf-Bathing.
THarper's Weekly,1


Perhaps the most ordinary danger of
the sea-shore-if danger can be called
ordinary-is what are known as the
three waves. The breakers, as a rule,
come in series of three. Sometimes
the three are small, and sometimes very
heavy, but, as rule, the sequences run
about the same size. Imagine bather
inside the surf-line, with the surf break
ing over bar about fifty or one hundred
feet from shore. Those big green waves
that rise higher and higher as they come
toward him do not seem very formida-
bic. The first one rears its head before
it reaches him with an angry swish; a
curl of foam, like feather edge, crops
out along the top, and fills the air with
spray. Then the wave takes a more de-
cided shoreward curl, the line of foam
becomes deeper, there Is u.s. era, crash as it
himself thrown down in a caldron of
seething surf. Say he is in three feet of

water on the level After the wave has
passed, he struggles to his feet choking,
gasping, and half blind with the salt
water. He doesn't really know what has
happened, but he has a dim idea that
something has hit him. Before he has
time to collect his senses the second of
the series is upon him, and he goes
down again. He is dazed and confused,
and he founders around hopelessly.
The third wave is always the finishing
stroke, and gives the life-saver, if there
is one, a chance to do some work. Guild
ed by an outstretched arm thrust above
the water involuntarily, or by a bobbing
head with which the surf is playing foot
ball, he drags the unsophisticated one
out on the sand That is the most COM
mon danger of the surf.

Long Island, on Thursday and Friday,
August 18th and 10th. The location has

ion of the building committee, is admir-
ably adapted to the wants of the asso-

Christian Endeavor State Convention.

oOAAsO AAuiOAAs
The Christian Endeavor State Conven-
ton programme has remarkable array
of talent and the delegates will enjoy a
rich feast of good things. Rev. Ralph
M. Brokaw is a trustee of the United
Society and has been identified with the
young peoples movement from its be-
ginning. He is a perfect encyclopedia
of information regarding the work of the
society, and is a bright, earnest speaker.
Surely no one is better qualified to speak
on the s'Sword Of the Spirit than Pro-
fessor Saunders of Yale. His researches
in Bible literature have been very thor
ough and complete. This important
feature of the Christian Endeavor Socie-
ty-Bible study-will be well exempli-
fed by Professor Saunders. Dr. Town
send is one of the most eloquent Metho-
dist divines in the country, representing
perhaps the more liberal branch of that
denomination. Rev. G. FL. Spaulding of
Boston is thoroughly tinctured with the
modern aggressive spirit of missions,
and his sermon will doubtless arouse
good deal of enthusiasm. DR.. Chase is
very well and favorably known in this
state, having in his early ministry served
the Lewiston Baptist church.. and adding
during his pastorate there $50 to the
membership of the church. He is one
of the most conspicuous leaders and sue
cessful pastors in the Baptist denomina-
ton. The committee have also secured
some of our best State of Maine speak
ers. The convention will be held in
Bangor, August "a, Is and 26.

The Casino.

Today will be a good opportunity for
those who cannot attend week days to

lar performance, dance is given for
which excellent music is provided. Take
the Casco Bay boats and enjoy the en-
tertainment. The steam riding gallery

There the engine struck two cars which
were directly across the main track. The
engine was demolished and IS cars de-
rallied. Neither the fireman nor engi-
neer was hurt. A wrecking train was

affected by this proof of regard, but re-
piled briefly and appropriately.

Hills on Un1S m1QQle level, anu the wafer
used by these mills goes to the lower
level, where canal of 5000 feet in length
is to afford room for 10 manufactures.
From the wheels of the third level the
wearied water will at last escape to the
Androscoggin to rest and frolie for miles
again, until the wheels of Mechanic
Falls and Lewiston impress it for new
tolls.
At present the middle level canal is
nearly completed, and the lower level is
begun. In all three levels there are sites
for
Twenty-Five Manufactures
and at lowest estimate, the Power Com
pany will have $4,000 horse power to dis
tribute among them. The Power Compa-
ny sells it's sites outright, with perpet-
ual rental for water attached. This rem
tai will be at rate of from $40 to $25 a
horse power, according to location. The
Power Company is putting in about
100000 now, and the completion of
their plant contemplates the ultimate
expenditure of 81, 100000. The capital
of this Power Company is largely Maine
capital.
Associated with Mr.. Chisholm in it's
ownership are Messrs. George N. Fetch
er of Detroit, Mich, Chas. D. Brown and
Daniel F. Emery, Jr., of Portland, Don.
NJ. Dickinson of Detroit, Mich, w. s.
Eaton of Portland and Mr.. Smith of
South Windham, Conn.
Already three Industries have come in,
bought sites and engaged power. The
largest is the Rumford Falls Paper Com
pany, of which Mr.. Daniel F. Emery of
Portland is President. Mr.. Garrett
Schenck of Newton, Mass, and Col. E..
II. Haskell of Boston, Perkins, Goodman
& Co., the large paper dealers of New
York, Holyoke, Mass, paper men, ex-
Governor J. D. Long, Ex-Governor Ames
and others are interested in it. The
capital is 100000 about half of
which comes from Maine and the re-
mainder from Massachusetts and New
York. The mill, which is to be of brick, is
about half completed. 1t will have a
capacity of 60 tons of newspaper paper
and 40 tons of pulp day, and in its
output will be
AS Large as Any Single Mill in the
Country.
The mill is expected to start in Oc-
tober.
The second industry is a chemical
mill, the foundations of which are going
in now. Messrs. Lyndell and Meyer of
Boston, are the promoters of this enter
prise, which is to manufacture bleaching
powders for the bleaching of cotton cloth
and paper. They will also make soda
ash. They are to use new process, in
which electricity is to be used. Hitherto
these, bleaching powders have been
made abroad; and it is expected that
this mill will supply bleaching material
for all the cotton and paper mills in New
England.
The third industry will probably be a
sulphite pulp mill. This has engaged
location and power; but the organiza-
ton is not yet fully developed.
This is the progress made at Rumford
Falls. There is no city there as yet, and
everything is rough, crude and unfin-
ished. But the plan is excellent; and
the enterprise seems to have been carried
through it's most difficult stages. In the
end it cannot help being of great advan-
tage to the state. In time city may
reasonably be expected to grow up
around the superb water power.

in magnificent but impotent roar.
The highest efficiency of this water
power could not be attained by setting
mills along the banks of the torrent; SO a
system of canals was devised. The lofty
slope on the south side of the river af-
forded an excellent location for these ca
nails From the head of the falls a long
canal is laid out along the brow of the
slope. This is called the upper level,
and is to be 5000 feet long. There are
along its banks lots for II manufacto-
ries, which can get their power from its
water.
Further down the slope-97 feet be-
low is second canal, called the middle
level, 240O feet long. This canal is in
tended to receive the water that has been
used in the mills of the level above, and
in turn send it through the mill wheels
to to the level so feet below. But the
middle level canal also connects directly
with che river, and until the upper level
is completed-which will be at future
day-all the middle level water will come
from the river. There are lots for seven

Tragic Affair.

A tragic affair is reported from Lu>
cerne, Switzerland. A young French
woman, whose beauty and other good
qualities attracted many suitors, accept
ed as husband an English naval officer.
The husband after brief honeymoon,
was summoned abroad and joined his
vessel on q voyage to the east. He left
his bride at Lucerne, promising speedy
return,
Not long ago the young wife received
telegram telling her that her husband
had died of cholera in India. The blow
caused her brain to reel, and friends
who fastened to console her found that
she was mad. She continually raved
about her dead husband, and cried out
for him to return to life. Her insanity
took suicidal tendency, and she poi
soned herself with cyanide She died
and was buried at Lucerne.
The wife had been dead but a few
DAYS when her husband, hearty and
we'll as when he left her, made his ap-
pearance at the dwelling where they
had spent happy days together. The
people of the house were astonished
when they saw him, and at first thought
he had come from the dead. When
convinced that he was really alive they
hesitated to tell him the truth.
At length one summoned courage to
confess to the husband, now himself al
most mad with fear of the worst, that
his bride was dead. Wild with grief, he
demanded to be taken at once to her
grave, He was escorted there and shown
little mound which still bore the fresh
marks of the gravedigger's spade. The
husband threw himself on the grave
and burst into a passion of grief.
At first it was feared his reason, too,
would give way. When he had gradu-
ally recovered they told him the story
of the telegram with the news of her
death. He exclaimed that he knew who
had sent the cruel message; that it must
be former sutton for the hand of his
wife, who had shown bitter disap-
pointment and threatening revenge.
He mentioned the name of this person,
and the authorities are quietly ascer-
tanning whether there is sufficient evil
dence to Justify proceedings against
him. The husband declares that he
will not rest until his wife's murderer
as he calls the person whom he sus-
poets, is brought to justice.

Fined for Assault.

In December last, some of the sons of
Baize G.. Brown, a farmer near Arbor
Hill claiming their father insane, threw
him in a field, assisted by Jacob II.
Nicols, a neighbor, tied him with rope
and took him to the house. The old
man got loose and with shot gun defied
further molestation. A commission of
lunacy consisting of magistrates Arch.
Kinney, Andrew Sheets and David w.
Drake, was assembled on a complaint
gotten out, examined the elder Brown
and pronounced him sane man. Last
Tuesday, Nicols was before magistrates
Sheets and Drake charged by Brown
with assault in throwing and tying him.
The magistrates fined Nicols and bound
him to keep the peace. Nicols appealed
to the county court. Nearly all the Ar
Dor Hill neighborhood were present at
the trial. either as witnesses or specta-
tors.-Staunton Wndicator.

met first. Quick as flash she pulled a
keen razor Cher father's) from under her
cloak and made slash at Freda.
10, turning quickly around, saw the
cleaning razor poised, about to be
buried in her sisters neck, and, raising
her umbrella, struck Alice over the head
with it. Alice darted at her, and with
one blow almost severed her jugular
vein. Turning quickly the Infatuated
woman rushed on Freda, who was run
ming toward a railroad Waterman, caught
her, turned her around, and struck her
three blows in rapid succession. The
last blow severed an artery and cut the
girls throat from ear to ear.
Miss Mitchell was found at her home
Her father asked her who killed Freda
Ward, ana the young lady mildly am
swered: II did it, papa, with your razor
1t has been determined by Miss Nit
chell's attorney to ask for an inquirendo
de lunatico, before the trial, which will
prevent the prisoners immediate trial
on the Indictment.
There is no longer any hesitation in
speaking of the true state of Miss Mitch
ellis mind. The medical aspect of the
case will be fully presented.
1t is believed by experts on insanity
that she is victim of erolomsnia, or I'M
natural sensuality. 1t is properly an
unbalance of the emotions and passions,
with loss of will-power. Physically it
is condition of congestion, leading
young girls whose education and moral
restraint are not strong into fast life
in some cases leading to insanity, and
not infrequently leading to suicide.
In the case of Miss Mitchell it led to an
animal love with Freda Ward. Errone-
Gus ideas OF the relation of the sexes, the
deferring of marriage because of society
reasons, false education imbibed through
flash literature, etc. are some of the
causes that generally lead up to that
state of perverted emotional balance
which has resulted so tragically in the
case of Miss Mitchell.
IF Miss Mitchell is adjudged insane,
then Miss Johnson will be compelled to
stand the trial alone. The attorneys
will publish the facts of Miss Mitchell's |
mothers insanity, and will attempt to
strengthen the case by showing no mo-
tive for the commission of the crime.
