A LONG THIRST.
That Stretches CLAIMS Neck Some Eight
Inches.

Do you know what it means to go without
water for day?
Do you realize what "a thirst is engen-
dered by SO long period of drought?
If you do then consider what the feeling
must be to a creature that makes its home
in or near the water:
A fisherman told Clerk Stone of the
Supreme court some time ago that no
matter how deep a clam might be buried in
the flats he always stretches his neck when
thirsty. until he reaches water, with which
to quench his thirst, and he told the clerk
such yarns as to the length a clam could
stretch it's neck that Mr.. Stone looked upon
his stories as genuine fairy tales. But Clerk
Stone has changed his mind.
Last Saturday a basket of CLAIMS was
brought to Mr.. Stones residence at Pine
Point, and as he did not intend to use them
until Monday, he placed the basket of CLANS
in great basin of sea water. Monday
morning he happened to hear queer sort
of spiping noise when he went into the
kitchen, and be looked about to see from
whence it proceeded. He finally traced the
sound to the sink w here the reason for the
noise was at once apparent. One of the
CLAIMS, an ordinary sized spurwink she'll fish.
had evidently dropped out of the basket
Sunday from some unknown cause, and
fallen into the sink. Of course it had been
deprived of water, and was crying for it.
as person suffering from great thirst
would try to make its sufferings known. In
its eagerness to get at the salt water in the
basin. itshad thrust its neck out from its
shell for at least eight inches, but in vain.
r.Stone to make sure that he was not mis-
taken took up fork lying close at hand
and just touched the CLAIMS neck with the
tines. The clam drew it's neck back into its
shell as quickly as flash of lightning. De-
termined at least while it lived it should
not suffer from thirst, Mr.. Stone put the
clam in some fresh sea water, and it was
happy
1t is said that CLANS can be kept fresh,
and in as good condition as when first dug,
if as soon as they are taken from the flats
they are placed in basket, covered with
sea weed and put in spot where the sea
water can pass over them at the ebb and
flow of the tide.

A NEW BILL IN Equity.
ing's Island Hotel and Transportation
Company.

Francis Cushing. ESQ.,. has withdrawn the
bill in equity against the Cushing's Island
Hotel and Transportation company and has
filed a new one, with more specific allega-
tions and several new points. After reciting
the old charges of Burrowes receiving cash
secretly in exchange for his stocks and
bonds, and the Encouragement of the
property by the directors, the bill prays the
court that all the respondents be made to
appear and disclose, that receivers be ap-
pointed for the Cushing's Island Hotel and
Transportation company, and the Cushing s
Island company to protect all parties, that
the mortage foreclosure on the Ottawa hotel
property be set aside, and that the Cush-
ings Island company be commanded and re-
CURED to release unto the .Cushing's Island
Hotel and Transportation company all the
property, rights, easements and benefits by
the Gushing Island Hotel company acquired
through or in consequence of said fore
losure.
1t also demands that the proceeds from the
sale of the bonds be paid over to the re-
ceivers and all holders of unpaid stock pay
over the amount to the court.

ing and drinking of harmful things. Inc
nextsyear after prohibition became an Or
ganic law of the state, he was elected mayor
of the city.
He took the advice of that good old Demo-
cratic saint, Bion Bradbury, and enforced
the law to the best of his ability. With near
ly all the police force opposed to him, and
the courts also, he enforced it, and never
has regretted that he did So Another thing
is, that this law is used simply as a bludgeon'
to knock Democrats in the head with. The
Republicans use it with duplieity and
| hypocrisy. Here is an instance. He went.
into little shop in Portland the other day
to get glass of beer-root beer. The pro-
prietor said he had other beer that he
! thought he would like better. 1t was called
lager. Mr.. Deering replied that the man
was about right and drank his lager. In re-
Spouse to questions the man said that he
had no fear of the officers. Mr.. Deering de-
clared that the sheriffs in Portland are
licensing board for the sale of liquor.
Mr.. Deering stated that no one present
would question Mr.. Reeds ability, and that
he himself was possibly L h able to criticize
Mr.. Reeds record in Congress-, but that he
had never done anthing for his constituents
he failed to See.

WEARY OF LIFE.
Poor Babette Geiger Commits Suicide a
Crotch Island.

A very sad case of suicide came to the
notice of the authorities yesterday morning.
A family passing the summer at Crotch
now called Cliff-island, sent word to the
city that young woman employed by them
had committed suicide ard the case called
Tor the attention of the coroner and under
taker. Coroner stephen D. Hall, conse-
quently went down to the island, accom-
panied by one of Ilsley Bros firm.
Upon arrival at the island the coroner
learned these facts: Mrs. G.. Il. Murphy of
Philadelphia, has, for number of years,
owned and occupied a cottage at the island
during the summer months. The family is
quite large one. Wheel they came on from
Philadelphia they brought with them as a
domestic servant, a German girl by the
name of Babette Geiger. who was nineteen
years of age. She came from Germany
about two years ago to make living. since
last February she has resided with the
Murphy family, and they liked her very
much. They say she was willing, kindly
dispositioned and good worker, and they
had no idea that she had any serious designs
on herself. Size was of excellent character
also, and not shadow of anything light or
frivolous pertained to her.
Wednesday afternoon about 2o'clock, Mrs.
Murphy's sister thought that things were
not right with Babette. Shesacted strangely
as if she was suffering from some unknown
cause. After sharp questioning the girl
admitted she had been to Mrs. Murphy's
drawer where the lady kept a bottle of
laudanum for use in case of sickness, and
drank a liberal dose.
Upon hearing this fact. emetics-such as
mustard water-were given. and the girl
walked about to keep her awake, while DR..
Hale of Chebeague island was sent for. 1t
took several hours before he could be OBJ
tanned, but when he arrived he said he
couldn't have done any more. The efforts
to restore her were kept up, but were of no
avail and the poor girl died about O'Clock
yesterday morning.
The suicide left note in German, adj
dressed to Mrs. Murphy, which showed into
what Respondent condition she had fallen,
for one SO young 1t seemed to her as If it
was hardly worth while to struggle along at
the small wages of a domestic through life
one couldn't tell how long, and she felt she
had rather end it all now. She had her
wish.
There was receipt for SIS, wages paid
her by Mrs. Murphy (of which $40 went to
the DOCTOR and a pocket-book containing
twenty eight cents. Miss Geiger had a
relative or connection in Philadelphia, who
was telegrahped of the sad event. but no
answer had been received last night. The
remains. were brought to the city, prepared
for burial and'placed in the receiving tomb
for a few days to await instructions.
Coroner Hall considered fan inquest un-
necessary.

WHAT AN ADVERTISEMENT DID
For Portland Music Dealer at Rangely
Lakes.

There are people who think advertising
in leading local paper doesn't pay. 1t is
true these people, for the most part, belong
to the poleozoic age, but there few who
are of more progressive nature, but have
never yet learned the advantages of adver-
tising. We have capital object lesson for
all these people.
The other day the we'll known music firm
of Cressey. Jones Allen, received a note
from the Rangeley Lakes asking if man
could be sent up to tune piano. The note
came from Mr.. Haven, a very wealthy
Boston gentleman, and Mr.. Charles f. Jones
decided to make the trip. Mr. Haven
place lies just beyond the upper dam, and it
takes long journey to get there. How
ever, Mr.. Jones started Monday, and when
he reached his destination was most
Hospitality received. Mr.. Haven lives in as
much style in his summer home at the Lake
as at his Beocon street residence, and his
guest had NOT occasion to regret his visit.
The piano to be tuned was an ordinary in
stI ument, while all the surroundings were
of luxurious order. AS a result of that
visit Mr.. Jones sold Mr.. Haven an elegant
$500 Symphony organ, and he returned last
night, after long days ride, which began
at a. m. yesterday, to see about taking
the organ back with him at once.
Mr.. Jones asked Mr.. Havens how he hap
pened to send to his firm The gentleman
replied that he.had intended to send to Bos-
ton and then he thought, perhaps, he could
get man from Portland just as well to
tune the piano. He had a copy of the
PRESS in the house and found Cressy,
Jones and Aliens advertisement. Then he
sent to Them
