AN INTERNATIONAL STEAMERS PERIL
Exciting Experience of the State of Maine
in Last Taiday Nights Gale.

The steamer State of Maine, Capt.
Colby, which reached Eastport Saturday
afternoon, twenty-seven hours late, had
hard trip and a narrow escape, accord
ing to the St. Croix News. The steamer
left Portland about O'Clock Friday
morning with TWENTY-FIVE passengers and
large amount of freight. The wind
blew hurricane. and a thick snow
storm set in, making it disagreed BILE for
all on board She passed Southwest
Harbor, intending to push right along,
but at 4. 80 a. m. Friday was compelled
to put back and went into that harbor.
One of the large anchors weighing $500
pounds was dropped, but this did not
seem to hold, and after drifting over one
half mile the other was put out. The
steamer still drifted, but the steam W as
kept up to the highest notch to be used
at an instants notice. The wind in
creased early in the morning and blew
over sixty miles an hour, blowing the
steamer right near the shore.
The mate called the entire crew on
deck and the life boats and RATS were
cleared away and got in readiness for use
should they be called tor. The officers
put on their rubber coats, Eoots and ex-
ira heavy clothes and gathered together
articles which could be taken with them.
All depended on the anchors. Should
they break, the steamer would, no doubt,
be carried on the rocks and wrecked,
where over two hundred people clustered
together, ready to take what they could
carry In case she came ashore. The
officers were cool during this trying
experience, but many of the passengers
were excited as they knew not what the
end was to be.
The captain concluded to take up the
anchors and leave the harbor. The stock
on one, the first put down, was found
broken off and rendered useless. AT 9
O'Clock Saturday morning the steamer
left for Eastport which place she reached
at g. Is, well covered with thick coating
of ice.

PLUNGED INTO THE LAKE.
As Canadian Pacific Engine Jumps the
Track and Goes to the Bottom.

There were two very bad accidents
way. At Harvey Lake, few miles
from Vanceboro, the railroad crosses the
foot of the lake in a very bad place. On
one sidetis very high bluff and when
the lake freezes in the winter and there
comes a big snow storm, the snow al
ways drifts badly. Saturday big mogul
engine behind snow pillow with Everett
Haddock as engineer and Geo. Henry as
fireman, started in the direction of ST.
John to open the road.
The train was run at a good rate of
speed and the snow was thrown easily
from the track until Harvey Lake was
reached. Here big drift was found and
the engine jumped the track. The engi-
neer was unable to reverse the power and
it went out upon the lake. The ice began
to break and the engineer seeing what a
perilous position he was in jumped
through the cab window and escaped
death. The fireman was unable to save
himself and went to the bottom of the
lake with the locomotive.
Wcfd was sent as soon as possible TO
Vanceboro and a diver was secured.
The engine went down in twenty weight
feet Of water The diver went to the bot
tom and recovered the body of the fire.
man. He was found in standing
position with shovel in his hand and
was evidently about to put some coal in
to the itirebox when the engine sank.
Henry was resident of McAdam and
was about twenty three years of age.
He was unmarried
The engine was costly one. 1t
weighed $50 tons and it sank very quick
lly after the ice broke An attempt will
probably be made to save some parts of
it after the ice leaves the lake.
The other accident was on the western
division of the G. p R. near Greenville,
where locomotive left the track and
William Hunting, the engineer, had both
legs taken off,

Attention is called to the statement of
the Security Loan and Trust Company of
Des Moines, Iowa, which appears in an
other part of this paper. This is one of
the companies which came through the
late financial strain in excellent condi-
ton. This is because of the careful
management of it's officers, and because
they lend almost altogether in Iowa.
Anyone who has not received their regu-
lar statements can have them sent by

The Hawaiian Language.

The Hawaiian language is composed
mainly of vowels, and few consonants put
in to vary the monotony. And the beauty
of the system is that there is no waste. Ey-
cry vowel is pronounced. For instance,
when the American eye winks at the ap-
pearance of the simple word ''naauao," the
glib native rolls out the five syllables with
neatness and dispatch. This means ZEN
tighten" Double vowels are very frequent,
but never diphthong. Three vowels are
not uncommon, and, as above, four and
sometimes more are found unseparated by
consonants. In the mouth of the unedu-
Gated native the language is apt to be ex~
plosive, but the higher classes speak it with
a fluent grace that surpasses the French
or the Italian. In sound it somewhat
resembles the general flow of the conti-
mental European languages, for the vowels
all have the French quality and the accents
are not dissimilar.-W Washington Star.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
PORTLAND, MAINE.

At this festive season of the year, a
season at which each man vies with
his neighbor in the making of some gift
to the members of his immediate family
and friends, it is peculiarly fitting, that
the UNIQUE advantages of Life Insur-
ance should be kept in view. The ten
dency of the age is to be PRACTICAL,
and it is therefore worthy of note by
those who contemplate making holiday
presents, that nothing can exceed for
beneflcence and solidity a Life Policy
which will in the event of the death of
the bread-winner protect the Home and
afford nurture and sustenace to the
bereaved, be they old or young. 1t dose
not require any very vivid flight Of
imagination to comprehend the possibili-
ties of a fifty-fold return consequent up
on an outlay for the acquisition of Life
Insurance. whereas, similar outlay up
on something more pleasing to the eye
and possibly of perishable or breakable
nature could not afford the solid and
lasting benefit to be obtained by and
through a policy in the Union Mutual,
possession which no family should lack
but one which should be treasured. in
