THE TEA BOOM.

-
Extraordinary Sale this Month by Port
land MISUNDERSTANDING of the China
Japan War and Natural Reaction From
Unprecedented Low Prices-Over TO-
Merchants This Month.
For the past few years the price of tea
has been very steadily going down. be-
cause of the increased importation. until
in June and July of the present summer,
aided by the hard times of the past year,
it has reached tie lowest point that ever
has been known in this country. I'M
porters in New York had tea in STOCK,
the market price of which was two or
three cents below what it cost them.
As previously stated in the PRESS
dealers in this city and throughout
hesitate have been buying in hand to
mouth fashion, because of the decreasing
price, But the Corean war, and the fact
that tea had reached the lowest possible
point, have caused the present boom that
begun about the first Of this month.
Since then Portland dealers have bought
over 10000 packages of tea which is
at the least ten times as much as was
bought in July. This Is at least $4,000
worth.
Mr.. Ernest Leprohon, who represents
a great importing house and sells to
wholesalers, has sold more tea thus far
this month than he had previously since
the first of last December, period of
eight months. He says that the indica-
tions are that the great importers of the
country believe that the present war be-
tween China and Japan is to be long and
disastrous and no slight struggle soon up
AID soon over, like the countries of some
South Americas republics.
Among the effects of the war that raise
the price of tea are the increased insur-
ance rates upon the vessels that bring
the tea, and the increased rates of ex-
change Also, it costs more to telegraph
to China. Importers have always tele-
graphed in cipher, which made a great
saving in the number of words. But
now China will receive no telegraph
message, except in plain English, which
largely increases the expense.

RESCUED JUST In TIME.
Almost a Drowning Accident in the
Harbor Yesterday.

One Man Rescued AS He Was Sinking
Drowned0The Daring Leap of a Res
cuer from the Top of Fort Georges.
A narrow escape from drowning oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon. One man
was rescued at the last moment and per-
haps another was lost.
Yesterday aft rnoon John Cobb of Cape
Elizabeth, assisted by several men. was
cutting the grass on the top of Fort
Gorges. Their families were with them
and the children were playing about the
ledge while the men were at work.
About 4 o'clock one of the children
heard man scream Save me, for Cod s
sakes, save me, WILL"
She called to her father and at the
same time Mr.. Cobb saw n boat floating
near the Diamond Island shore with a
man clinging to it, Mr.. Cobb leaped
from the parape. to thes inner court, ia
distance of some 20 feet. and calling Mr.
Chse. who was with him, started for
their boat. He has saved lives before
and knew the value of time and almost
in less time than it takes to tell it he
had the boat started. They reached the
floating boat just as the drowning man
let go his hold and sank, but were near
enough to seize him. The boat was
taken in tow and he was hurried to
the fort, where he was relieved of the
water he had imbibed. He gave his
name as Colman McDonough, but was
identified as Steve Flaherty. He was in
a badly demoralized condition and
refu sed to say if there was anyone with
him at the time.
PERHAPS THERE WAS ANOTHER
The boat was one of Carter's. and
while Flaherty was alone when he hired
it, Mr. .Pettingill, at the Cape, who was
looking through his glass, says there
we're two men in the boat. The rudder
was shipped and there two pairs of
oars, and added to the call for help the
child heard, gave grounds for believing
that he may have had a companion.
If SO the other was doubtless lost. One
oar was found floating, and probably
Flaherty was reaching for that and fell
over. A PRESS reporter was cruising
about there at the time, and reached
the spot just after the rescuers, but the
rescued Individual would say nothing.

FOUR MAsTED BARKeNTINE.
The James w. ElwelI, Now In This Port,
Is Novel Craft-Captain Goodman
Prefers the Rig-Are Freight Rates To
Be Higher.

ut is the best rig ever went tc sea in"
said Captain Robert II. Goodman of Bath,
yesterday, as he contemplated the barken-
tine James W. Elwell, which had just ar
rived at Fish Point from Norfolk, with coal.
A baTkentine is not new thing in these
waters. butsbarkeLtines like the James W. Ell
well are very rare indeed, there being but
three or four others like her in the world.
The Josephine, of Baltimore, and the
Esenada, of Nova Scotia, with one or two
others, make up the list. The James ".
Elwell is what is called four masted bark
entine, having one mast more than the ordi-
nary barkentine. The foremost is square
rugged and the other three, named respec-
lively main, mizzen and jigger masts, are
schooner rugged.
The James W. Elwen was launched in
Bath in November, 1892; is of 1888 tons
burden net, and is largely owned in Bath,
although James W. Elwell of New York, has
an eight. 1t was Captain Goodman's idea
that the vessel should be of this style of rig
and although he had never seen the rig. he
was SO firmly convinced of its utility that
the owners chose it. 1t may be said to be
logical development from the four-mast-
ed schooner. The schooner rig, with its
facility for working in and out along
coasts, and with the economy of labor in
the hauling of sails, has gradually taken
the place of the barks, briggs, barkentines
and ships. This is especially true since the
advent of the the great four and fve-mast-
ed schooners. But for long voyage the
schooner rig is mot the safest or best, and
the insurance men have not liked it wholly.
Therefore. the square rig on the ,foremast
is concession to them and to the demand
for square sails for work before the wind.
Captain Goodman says that he has heard,
somewhere Of a fve-masted baIke milne
and LIE believes that such rig would be
excellent for vesselssof the larger size.
The Elwell is easily managed, and Cap
tain Goodman came from Norfolk sthis trip
with only five men, ard without a second
mate. He frequently goes with twelve men.
Captain Goodman is ole of the few opti-
mistic shipping men who believes that
freight rates are soon to be much better He
says that The depression lin the ssArgentine
Republic and other South. American states
has gone about as far as it can, and that
those great countries must soon be demand
ing again our lumber and other products.
When that time comes vessels to transport
the products will be in demand and so many
have been wrecked or converted into
barges, while SO few have been built lately,
that the supply will not equal the demand.

ILLUMINATION NIGHT.
Brilliant Display on the Eastern End
Of Peaks Island.

The People of Trefethens and Evergreen
Landings Have the Annual Lighting of

entirely by Chineseslanterns, supplemented
by red ire. Some cottages displayed a few
lanterns only, while others were masses of
vaIlegated light. Over the door of one
hung crescent, in front Of another was
reared triangle, etc.
The Soofeld cottage and that of Mr.. j. f.
Noyes,.both on high ground at Trefe thens,
were noticeable from afar for the brilliancy
OF their illumination. Others noticeable

community known as Oaklawn, and here
there were beautiful Examinations in the
cottages of Messrs Burns of Canada, Miller
OF Baltimore. W. E. Little, Mr.. Stevenson,
Mr. D. Page Perkins, Mr.. Frederick Smith
and Mrs. Clark
At Evergreen Landing sthe Nominations
were very pretty. but not SO elaborate as at
Trefethens. Those Illuminating were: MI.
franklin Perry. Glenwild, Mr.. Daniel
Buzzel; Cliff Villa, Mr.. Lorenzo Dyer; Mr..
W. A. Skillin; Mr.. J. G. Skillin; Mr.. Donald
Garden. and Messrs. Bickford, Drinkwater
