This has been the best season for the ice
men on the Kennebec river for number of
years. The workmen have had almost
constant employment. The knickerbocker
crew at Iceboro have five or six weeks more
work and have lost only one day thus far
during the season. During July the wages
paid were so and 1925 day.
At the present time the wages
paid are $3.50, $l.15 50 per day.
When the river opened in the spring,
there were ,0S5,000 tons, house measure
ment, stored on the banks of the Kennebec.
There are now less than IT'S 900 tons, and a
greater part of this will leave the river dur
ing the next six weeks. The following
houses are entirely empty: Kuickerbockers,
Old Orchard; Knickerbockers, Chelsea :;

said to be very tough substance, as fiex-
ible as leather and entirely inpervious to
water, and can be manufactured at a very
low price as compared with leather, of
which it is an excellent imitation.

are heavily timbered to their very
SUBMITS with every variety of oak,
ash, elm, chestnut, mountain mahog-
any, cherry, poplar. pine and a hun
dred other valuable kinds of timber. I
am surprised that so little northern
capital has gone into these cheap noun
tain lands, covered with valuable
woods, where a portable sawmill and
cheap labor would yield millions of
feet of the most beautiful finishing
woods.
l struck a highly intelligent party in
town the other day who gave me q
good deal of information about many
matters and seemed to think that
almost everything worthy of preserva-
ton had come from Virginia. He had
come from there himself.
He claimed everything from George
Washington to the consul from Shen-
andoah who was to take the corsulship
at Annoy, China, and who got so full of
corn liquor and noble impulses that his
body was brought back from San Fran
cisco and resuscitated at home, where
they had time to do it. This young
man of whom I speak was not over 10
years of age, but during that time had
managed to obtain information that I
always thought was being reserved for
Gabriel to announce later on.
He had never been North and seemed
to have an idea that New Workers. did
the mOst of their trading in Richmond.
1 did not interfere until he claimed all
the literature and maintained that
Charles Egbert Craddock was a Vir-
ginia man, and then / murmured.
After a heated discussion he at last
yielded, but went away offering to bet
that George Eliot was a Virginia man
anyhow. These are facts which I can
prove. Hisgentlea assurance was worthy
of Brown county, Ind. I like to see a
man loyal to his State, but he should
also have a casual knowledge of how to
pound sand. BILL NYE.

The journey was then uheventful
until a stop was made at Greenwich,
Conn, Tuesday afternoon, and the
party dismounted, to be met by E @.
Benedict and taken to his country
place for the night. The detectives
we're on hand again and saw Mr.. Cleve

sure that all was right at the house.
Then they went to the Lenox Housed for

over these strangers. 1t had been
noticed that they closely surrounded
the President and his family When lhey
dlsmounted from the train and acted
as a body-guard until Mr.. Benedict's
carriage moved away. No end of in
quiries were made of the hotel clerk as
TO the identity of the strangers, but he
automatically declared they were cleo
trlclans, at the same time winking
knowingly. It was noticed that they
took turns at the hotel throughout the
night, one OF another of them always
being in the neighborhood of Mr.. Bene-
