strange Yondness For a Cook.

An Italian prince who had Sicilian
cook was once travelling to his provincial
estates, taking with him his cook, to-
gether with his entire kitchen force,
without which, so fond was he of the
delicacies they were won't to prepare, he
rarely if ever travelled. At a point
where the narrow path along the preci-
pice turned the angle of a projecting
rock the prince. at the head Of his long
cavalcade, heard shrek and the splash
of body falling into the torrent far
below. With face white with horror
he pulled up, and looking back ex-
claimed: 9'The cookl The cookl Oh.
do not tell me it is the cookr' mo, your
excellency,' cried voice from the rear,
'sit is Don Prosdocemo." The prince
heaved sigh of intense relief, then
said: "Ah, only the chaplain! Thank
goodness Times.

A Bad Accident in Bridgton.

DR.. A. W. Taylor of Bridgton, and his
sister, Mrs. Charles Paine, were badly in
jured by a frightful accident in that
town Thursday forenoon. The doctor,
his wife and Mrs. Paine, in an open
buggy, had crossed the bridge between
Smiths furniture factory and Bridgton
machine shop, and were opposite the
house occupied by Joseph Foster, where
the ground descends abruptly ten or more
feet, when the horse began to back. The
doctor Immediately applied the whip
with vigor, but all to no purpose. and
the obstinate beast quickly backed the
carriage off the EN- bankment, and down
went the horse, carriage and occupants
in a heap to the ground, smashing the
buggy and the horse going over and be-
You'd them. DR.. Taylor was cut across
the forehead, the bridge of his nose
broken, his knee, ankle, hip and back
more or less injured Mrs. Paine was
even more seriously hurt, the chief injury
being about the neck. Mrs. Taylor was
not injured Help was at hand, and the
two were taken into Mr. Foster s.,
where every attention was paid them,
and physicians were hastily summoned.
After the arrival of the doctors, and their
wounds were dressed, they were conveyed
to their homes.

Empire Grove Campmeeting.

To the Editor of the Press:
The meeting at this grove commenced
on Thursday evening of last week and
has been gaining in numbers and interest
ever since.
There has been three preaching services
each day, a meeting of the Epworth
League and children's meeting at p. m.
A fine choir Of singers under the leader
ship of Rev. T. A. Jones of Lewiston,s at
tends all the public services.
On Sunday last large congregation
was present. Rev. r. G. Rogers of Au-
burn, preached an able and eloquent SER
mon in the forenoon and in the afternoon
exercises were held in the chapel on
account of a shower of rain about noon,
and Rev. T. johnson of Pennsylvania,
was the preacher.
The splendid weather we have had
since has been favorable for the meeting,
although the heat the past few days has
made it rather uncomfortable.
Over one hundred families are residing
upon the grounds very comfortably
located in their cottages and tents.
A large number of ministers have been
present from the commencement of the
meeting, among them being Rev. W. S.
Jones of Conway, N. H. ) Rev. E. l.. House
of Portland, Rev A.W. Potter of West
brook, Rev. W. IS. McIntire of Biddeford,
Rev. 7. 6. Ross of South Portland, Rev.
A. E. Parlin of Bridgton, Rev. W. B.
Dukeshire of Brunswick and Rev. A. G.
Trafton Of Berlin, NH.
If pleasant next Sabbath will be the
great day of the meeting. The Rev. E.
r Stackpole, DID, returned missionary
from Italy, and Rev. Matt. S. Hughes, the
well known popular pastor of Chestnut
street church, are expected to preach.

Only Healthy Persons snssze.

This is a point alluded to by MI
Jonathan Hutchinson. He does not rec
ollect himself to have seen any but fairly
healthy persons sneeze. He puts the
question with especial reference to the
widely spread popular superstition that
sneezing is a sign of health and good
luck. 1t is possible, he thinks, that this
may have had its origin in the fact that
ii is for the most part an act restricted
to those in fair health. Taylor in his
Primitive Culture" gives interesting
facts as to the prevalence Of fhis creed
and as to certain customs associated with
it and traces 1t in part to doctrines Of
animism, but Mr.. Hutchinson thinks the
suggestion he has given may also have
some value, Sheffield Medical Journal.

THE DROUGHT.
1t is Very Severe and Crops Are Suffering
Much-The Precipitation of Rain
Much Below the Average.

The drought has reached point OF
severity which city people hardly realize
unless their attention has been especially
called to it. In the country there is
much complaint, and if it continues
there may be more or less downright
suffering.
The regularity of the present drought
is that it is long continued. We have
had many dry Augusts, and many dry
Julys in the last 21 years, but it has been
quite rare that such dry August has
come right at the heels of SO dry July.
We have had, on an average during the
last 81 years that the government has
kept meteorological records in this city,
an average of three and three-quarters
inches of rainfall each July, and an ay-
erage of little over three and half
inches each August.
The record this year shows how dry
it has really been. Instead of three and
three-quarter inches, in July, we got
less than an inch, to be exact 96-100ths.
There had been a slight excess of about
sixth of an inch in June over the aver
age, but this excess was too slight to es-
tablish any considerable store of mois-
ture for the time coming. Then the
present month came on, with continual
ton of the drought. Less than third
of an inch of water has fallen, or over
an inch less than should have fallen to
give us an average rainfall for this
month.
The August of 1888 was very dry, only
36-1O0ths of an inch falling in the whole
MONTH; but the July before had been
much less dry than the July of this year.
August of last year was very vet, over
1-10th inches falling.
The drought so far has not had very
marked effect upon the water courses.
Sebago Lake has lost less than two feet
since March, when there was IL feet
over the outlet of the water company's
system.
But the farmers are feeling it very Sc
verely over all this portion of the state
A farmer from Windham says that he is
feeding grain to his cattle because the
pastures afford no food except for lit
tie feed in very low swales and the
browsings on the trees. Sweet corn
raised for canning is having very hard
time, and many farmers despairing of
getting any yield are cutting the stalks
up for fodder. The drought has also af-
fected the potato crop. The hay crop
was very good, however, and was well
taken care of before the drought got
very severe.
In spite of their troubles. however, the
Maine farmers are said to be in excellent
financial condition, and the travelling
men report collections excellent.

Fire ON Lincoln Street.

The alarm from box 81 about S.45
o'clock last evening was caused by the
bursting of lamp in a house near the
corner of Lincoln and Anderson streets
occupied by Mr.. Thomas. Mr.. Thomas
had gone to bed and the daughters were
on their way home when they saw flames
in the sitting room. Before they reached
the house the neighbors had gone in and
extinguished the flames and rung in the
alarm. The blaze was confined to the
room and the damage was not extensive.

Fred poug1ass in Defence of His Race.

II
A Chicago despatch says Fred Douglass
was greatly wrought up yesterday in the
suffrage Congress by Stephen B. Weeks,
professor of Trinity College,. INC, who
read paper on negro suffrage in the
South. The professor said: NEGRO stuff
rage is failure. 1t must remain fail
ure so long as it is not an ally of the
white vote A large percentage Of the
Southern people are of English descent.
they will not submit to domination.
The white man must rule, and he will
rule He seeks to secure this result by
fair means. He has respect for law, and
for that reason seeks to rule under the
law. When he cannot do this he bull
dozes and counts out. NO man VINO mas
not lived in negro land knows what
negro domination is. 1t means the
destruction of property, ruin and bank
ruptcy.n
When Professor Weeks had finished, Mr.
Douglass, who was on the platform,
arose and made an impassioned reply.
You are not afraid OF negro DONNA
tion," he said, shaking his cane at the
professor. "The negro never can rule
this country. He would be outvoted by
the sixty million of whites, and over
whelmed by your superior intelligence.
There is no opposition to the negro in
the South until he aspires to rise So
Dlong as he is ignorant and lazy no one
disturbs him. If he aspires to become
lawyer or doctor he at once becomes
an upstart.
The speaker, in conclusion, told the
professor to go back to his home and
tell the people there that they are wrong.
"Tell Them" he said, "that honesty is
the best policy. Tell them that some
day right may be might
Professor Weeks made no reply, and
the congress adjourned.

STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The special course inaugurated at the
Maine State College last year for the
practical training Of yonng farmers who
wish to get the latest and most approved
methods of carrying on dairy, stock
feeding and various other valuable
pointers, found such marked success that
another course of 16 weeks will be in
augurated the coming winter, opening
Dec. 5th. The tuition IS low, and young
men who think of following the occupa-
ton of farming are strongly advised to
avail themselves of the opportunity the
State has thus made it possible for him
to enjoy. For full particulars address
Prof. Walter Balentine, Orono, who Will
be glad to furnish the information.

Two North Arson men, A. H. Dinsmore
and Edward Brown, were riding across
the country from Dover last week. They
stopped by the wayside to lunch at the
noon hour between Cambridge and
Harmony, and Brown started out in
search of place to procure some drink
ing water when he came across a hole in
about four feet deep, which was filled
with fish. Having no hook or line with
them the men resorted to fruit basket,
which they had in the wagon, and Brown
began to scoop 'em up. He took 80 nice
trout from six to eight inches long with
out seeming to reduce the number of
trout in the hole 1t seems the place in
which these trout were confined was,
in high water, connected with brook
near and became imprisoned when the
water in the brook fell.
