THE HEAVENS SMILED
When Pelted With Dynamite in the At
tempt to Make Rain.

Hartford, Ct, August 19.-An expert
ment in artificial rainmaking was con-
Quoted this forenoon on the farm of Eu-
gene S. Clark, large tobacco grower in
Bloomfield. Everything was favorable
for the experiments, the sky being over
cast with fog clouds, which, if there is
anything in the conclusion theory, ought
to have yielded liberal shower when
bombarded with dynamite. But there
were no results whatever, and, in fact,
the dynamite explosions, if they accom-
plished anything, only served to dissi-
pate the clouds, for the sun was shining
brightly within an hour after the expert
ments began. The plan pursued was to
send up paper fire balloons with dyna-
mite cartridges attached. Each car
fridge had long fuse, timed to burn
about three minutes. Four balloons
were sent up at intervals of Is minutes.
When the fifth was started it tipped
over, caught fire, and when the people
saw the flames enveloping the fuse close
to the dynamite cartridge, they ran for
their lives. One of the experts, how
ever, seized the fuse, tore away the
cartridge and prevented what might
have been a bad accident. 1t was then
concluded that there was danger IN send
ing up the cartridges by balloons, which
might drop the cartridges on dwellings
or persons, and the sun coming out
bright about this time the experiments
were suspended, although a balloon or
two was sent up later for the amuse-
ment Of the spectators. The expert
mentors are not discouraged.
They insist that there would have
been rainfall if they had exploded all
of the so cartridges of half a pound each.
Next week they may try again, and send
the cartridges up in the air by rockets
instead of balloons. A rainful, if it can
be produced, will be worth thousands of
dollars to the farmers in the vicinity.

here today by the tug Somers N. Smith,
in leaky condition. She was proceed
ing near Matinicus when she struck
Southwest ledge. The accid emit took
place in broad daylight, and is account

vicinity two Lodges, only one of which
was buoyed, the one on which she struck
being consequently unknown to her cap

pened in this place before, and it is the
opinion of sea captains that the ledge

PEOPLE GOING TO THE FAIR.
Last Week Broke the Record at the Great
Show.


Chicago, August 20.-The attendance
at the Worlds Fair today was very
small. The buildings were opened, but
the exhibits were covered. The week
just closed was record breaker in point
during the seven DAYS being 100, 476, an
increase over last week of 11O,378. The
daily average or the week, emitting last
Sunday, when but 1880 paid admiss-
ions, was 1923, e95. Yesterdays attend
ance, 1876, 1881, made it the best day of the
fair with the exception of July 4, when
283, 273 paid admissions were registered.
The record is very gratifying to the ex-
position management and with a little
help from the railroads in the matter of
excursion rates, they expect to see
great increase from this time on.

Old Orchard. August 20. The temper
ance campmeeting here began this morn
ing with the TO- 80 service, when rev. 5.
f. Pearson of Portland, and MIS-. Barakat
of Syria, spoke
Mr.. Pearson said that considering the
fact that Gen. Dow was to speak IN the
afternoon, and would give them al the
law and the prophets they would want,
he would talk only Of the moral SIDE OF
the temperance movement. he told OF
his personal experience during Ten years
OF his life, and spoke eloqueiiIly OIL ehe
necessity for earnest personal work along
moral lines. He was followed py mrs.
Barakat. of SYRIA. who is an interesting
speaker.
AT the afternoon meeting the chapel
was crowded. Rev. DR.. Rhodes presided,
Rev Dr. Randall not being present.
Rev. DR.. Hunter offered prayer. zen zen.
Neal Dow delivered the addfess. zen.
slider the Question alas prohibition
helped Maine?0 He felt that it was a
question that must be answered; He
argued that any law that prevents Inc
worse than senseless throwing away OF
money on liquor, must be regarded as
a success. He said that ne nao
been called a fanatic SO long that ne
would let others speak, and quoted
what leading business men nave recentIy
said regarding the results of the attempt
to drive the LIQUOR traffic out OF the
state.
He paid his respects, briefly
to Chief Justice Peters OF the Su-
preme Court He said that he was not
willing to say whether the people OF
Bangor inspired the Chief Justlce, OF
were inspired by him.
Gen. Dow said that in this fight the
man who is not for the law is against it,
and words or prayers were of little &C
count if not backed up by acts. 1t is
nonsense for man to pray for the tenn
perance cause unless be is ready to vote
for it.. The membership of the Christian
"sell no more" or go at once" and
it could be so. Let them say,
"This rum traffic must end" and it will
pass away. The churches must come to
the help OF those whose votes and prayers
are given to the cause.
A man in the audience said when
will the politicians help us?" and Gen.
they see that the battle is to be ours,
and when it is won, [ will go about
saying, See the victory we @shave won
over the great enemy of God and man. y
Gen. Dow spoke for over an hour, and
held the close attention of his audience
to the last. Rev. John J. Smallwood spoke
in the evening.
