OF Interest to All.

EAST WILTON, Sept. %, 1894.
To the Editor Of the american:
Two of the three mont rs OF my absence
from Ellsworth have been spent in doing
work for the Bible society of Maine. As
| have canvassed the towns OF jay and
Pennington | found myself wishing that
one of the missionaries OF the society
might soon be assigned to Ellsw orth.
A few days ago the recently-electei
superintendent informed me that Miss y.
D. Thompson was soon to begin work in
Ellsworth. Her work i fourtold; she
is to call at every house 10 gather few
statistics. to show line OF sample Bibles,
to receive contributions for the work of
the society, and to do missionary work.
VII not all receive her cordially,
examine the books. give something, how
ever small. to the work and pray for the
work and the worker
You Will be surprised at the very low
cost al which you can obtain good Bible,
and even il you do not wish to pur-
chase, the society is glad to have all see
the low prices at which the Bibles can be
supplied.
Remember he name of the missionary
Miss y. d. Thompson. She expects to
begin her work Monday, October S.

THE Bewildered Democracy

II should not be supposed that be-
cause our own State election is over,
interest in the political situation
is waning; on the contrary, in all the
states that hold their congressional
elections in November, the excite
ment is most intense.
In an article with the above title the
Boston Journal calls attention to the
confusion that exists in the ranks of
the democracy all along the line. and
notes that this confusion is we'll illus
trated in the character OF the litera-
ture which the party managers are
distributing.
ITO begin with, says the Journal,
''the most conspicuous feature OF the
democratic campaign text book is the
letter which President Cleveland
wrote to Congressman Wilson prior
to tt~ passage Of the German tariff
bill, and the other letter which he
wrote to Congressman Catcnings
after the bill had been passed.
In these letters. i VII be remenl-
bered. he denounced The bin as a
measure Of p@rty pertidy and dishon-
or, described il a ia. Of inconsistent
absurdities, declared that its passage
was attributable 70 the blasting Of
the counsels Of the brave y the dead
" blight of treason, ...ll aassionately
asked how The party could face the
people after passing saeh . bill.
But the party now tlces The people
with this bill as practically its only
record; and hot only this bit It faces
the people bearing in Is hands these
letters from the President bitterly but
justly lenouneing the bill. This
makes republican arguments and re-
publican oratory aImost needless. The
case against the democratic party has
been 50 forciblY put b. is own Presi
dent. whose views arr circulated in
its own campaign documents, that
there is little TO be added,
But this is not all The only docu-
ment, It is stated, which the demo-
cratic congressional committee is
sending out upon the silver question
is the speech on silver which was
made by Congressman Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan, it Will be remem
bered, is one of the strongest
champions of free silver in the
present Congress, and he mas betaken
himself to the populist ranks and is
now trying to secure election by the
popuists to the United States senate.
This speech by Bryan was made in
vehement opposition 10 the repeal of
the purchasing clauses of the SOC called
Sherman act; it characterized that
policy as an attempt TO turn back the
tide Of civilization: and it attacked
President Cleveland for summoning
Congress in special session to act on
repeal

Now that autumn is unfolding Its
flaming banner, beautiful with its EN-
broidery of gold and brown and Grim

The Pine Tree State is proud of its
new namesake, the battleship Maine,
which in her unofficial trial last week
proved herself the fastest battle ship
of the United States or any other
navy, 17.55 knots an hour. This
speed must not be COMPOUNDED with
that of the new cruisers, an entirely
different type of ship.

Trick PhotoRraphy.

Amateur photographers may play
many tricks with the camera If they
can manage a few simple appliances
that are readily obtainable. A Iady's
head may appear to rest in a platter.
To produce this effect, provide two
tables, placing them close together,
and arrange tablecloth with dishes
and ornaments. Prepare tin plate
by cutting out place at one side and
a circle in the middle just large enough
to receive the neck of the person to be
photographed. Then seat the person
so that the plate when put around the
neck may rest firmly upon the table.
Smooth out the cloth, letting IL fall to
the floor, and take the picture. The
result will be the appearance of a
head without a body resting in a dish.
Other equally interesting pictures may
be produced in similar Nvays,N. Y.

GOLD IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA.
The Part the Yellow Metal Has Played In
the Country's Development.


In the development of western Aus
tralia the gold fields seem destined to
play an important part. Gold was dis
covered there by Dampicr as far back
as 1888, but it was not until about ten
years ago that the precious metal was
found in sufficient quantities to start
the industry in real earnest. To-day
II is known that the gold country ex-
tends over great area from north to
south.
New districts are being opened up,
townships are being laid ont, stores,
hotels. churches and banks arc provid-
ing for the varied wants Of rapidly in
creasing populations. settled, in some
instances. on the desert wastes Of only
two or three years ago while the trans
continental railway from Fremantlo
to Adelaide is regarded as having al
ready been started by the line to tho
Iilgara gold fields.
Southern Cross, the capital" of this
particular district, and place whose
origin dates back only few years. can
now boast of being a regularly organ
ized municipality, and its Importance
has been greatly increased by the open
ing mp of the rich fields at Coolgardie,
l20 miles further east where the speci-
men of gold sent to London by the
western Australian government for eX-
hibition purposes were obtained.
The rainfall is. on the whole, fairly
good. but there have hitherto been no
efficient means taken for storing it for
the dry seasons. The government,
however. have resolved TO construct
storage tanks at cost of a15,OO0, and
it is hoped that the water difficulty will
now soon be surmountcd. In the
meantime. the western Australian
press and government officials have
been urging would-bc gold seekers to
keep away for the present. So rapid
has been the expansion Of the gold Dig
gings in the colony that the total out
put OF gold increased in value from
Els, 1872 in 1891 10 9421 900 last year,
and it is expected to reach Ell 900, 900

rat Wives In the Armenian Town or Kai-
sarieh.
The most striking feature of the mis-
Sionary work at Kaisarieh is the cduca-
ton Of the Armenian women. whose
social position seems to be even more
degraded than that of their Turkish
sisters. With the native Armenians, as
with the Turks, heshiness adds much
to the price of wife. The wife of "a
missionary is TO them an object of both
wondcrment and contempt. As she
walks along the street. they will whis-
