THE LILAC.
She Arrived Yesterday From Cleveland
A Good Specimen of What Fresh
Water Builders Can Do.

''She's regular man-o'-war buildp' ex-

new steel lighthouse boat, the Lilac,
which is to succeed the old Iris in this

The Lilac came in early yesterday

been turned over to the government.
Captain E. w. johnson and Chief Engi-
neer D. w. johnson of the Iris, and Mr..
Luther Allen of the Globe Iron Works
firm came on the Lilac from Cleveland.
The Lilac has already been described at
length in the PRESS. She is beauty
and the PRESS reporter expressed sur
prise that firm on fresh water lake
should build vessel like that for salt
water station.
.'Bless your soul, man." exclaimed
Captain Harrison, 81 have been connect

Clyde, and I will tell you that Cleve-
land, Ohio, beats them ALL It is great
iron ship building port. The firm that
built the Lilac have just completed
three big iron ships of 1000 tons each. that
will carry 5000 tons of iron ore each.
They are turning out some of the biggest
and best iron steamships in the world at
Cleveland"
The Lilac had pleasant voyage. In
coming through the Cromwall canal,
where there are only eight feet of water,
she had to be put into pontoons. In the
Welland canal she was all right. She
left Quebec Thursday evening, coming
directly to Portland. The Lilac can
make II knots an hour, and does IL cas-
ily with 80 revolutions. She cost about
100000.
The Lille will be turned over to the
government in a day or two. Commander
Wildes was aboard of her yesterday af-
ternoon. He couldn't help being salts

Prominent Farmer, is Struck by the
Grand Trunk Express-Fatal Result
Considered Cer'%'n
A very sad accident occurred at Pow
nal station last evening. The Grand
Trunk express No. 2, due here at $40 p.
M, was running along by Pownal station
at very high rate of speed, probably 45
or so miles an hour. There is curve
and deep cut at this place and the high
way crosses the railroad in such way as
to make very blind crossing. Last eve
ming about S O. clock, Mr.. True Tuttle, a
prominent farmer of Pownal, approached
this crossing just as the train was due.
He drove fine span of horses attached
to a cart. Just how the accident hap
pened is not fully known, but the team
was on the track at the instant that the
engine came tearing along. Horses,
wagon and man were struck with ire
mendous force and hurled away. The
cart was broken to pieces, the horses
mangled and killed, and Mr.. futile
thrown some distance, mangled and
senseless. The train stopped as soon as
possible and backed up to the scene. Nj.
Tuttle was thought to be dying, as his
injuries were such as to render recovery
impossible.

one stolen. Mr.. Lunt was taken COM

MY MOTHERS HAND.

Buch beautiful, beautiful handsI
They're neither white nor small.
And you, know, would scarcely think
That they were fair at all.
I've looked on hands whose form and I'm,
sculptor's dream might be:
Yet are those aged, wrinkied hands
Most beautiful to me.
Such beautiful, beautiful handsl
Though heart were weary and sad.
those patient hands kept toiling on,
That the children might be glad.
The tears we'll forth, as, looking back
To childhood's distant day,
! think how these hands rested not
While mine were at their play.
Such beautiful, beautiful handsl
They are growing feeble now,
For time and pain have left their mark
On hand and heart and brow.
Alas alas how near the time
or pain and loss to me.
When meath the daisies, out of sight,
Those hands will folded be.
But, oh, beyond the shadow land,
Whore all is bright and fair,
know full well those dear old hands
VIII palms of victory bear
Where crystal streams through endless
years
Flow over golden sands,
And where the old grow young again,
III clasp my mothers hands.

its byzantine design. A dome sur
rounds the massive white stone struc-
ture, its sides are covered with lauda-
tory Inscriptions and lists OF the gifted
girls works OF art. Through a glazed
door the interior OF the chamber is
seen. with marble bust OF the en-
shrined dead occupying a central posi-

life are scattered about; her favorite
