Mackerel in the Lower Harbor

The mackerel struck into the lower
bay about ten days ago, and since then
good many have been caught. Friday
and Saturday were the best days. Yes
terday also was good day and there
were at least rs boats fishing in the
vicinity of Clapboard island. A party
of three struck school late in the after
noon and in two hours secured 215 fine.
plump fish that would weigh about
half pound apiece. As rule the fish
this year are much finer than they
have been for several years. Some made
better catches than the above party and
some caught less. Those 215 mackerel
were given away on the wharf in this city
to whoever cared for them, many poor
people were very glad to receive them.
Many of the maekerel that Fave been
caught the past week, down the harbor,
are thus disposed of.

A STRANGE CASE.
"A wandering Frenchman Whose Mind
Apparently Wanders.

He was Picked Up Here Yesterday by the
Police-He Tells a Queer Story-Possi
bly, Has Escaped from the Asylum at
Augusta.
There Is an bdd case under investigation
mere which will be settled tomorrow by e.
de b. LIE Frohon, the representative of the
french government for Maine.
Yesterday afternoon Patrollmen Skillings
ana Greeley found man wandering about
the streets. apparently in need of assist
ance, but unable to make himself under
stood.
AS translated by G. T. Whitgreave of
Chicago, his story as told later proved to be
strange one. He said his name is George
Heoul and that his home is in France. His
married and has four children. two boys and
two girls. The Oldest child is a girl now
twenty-one.
He said he was a farmer. as his father and
grandfather had been before him. He titled
leased land and made it pay him we'll.
Then his wife left him, and his home was
broken up. 1t is thought. that the shock was
too much for his mind, and that since then
he has been the sport of circumstances.
He says that some one, he does not know
who, paid his passage to New York on board
the steamer Normandy, and that he reached
New York in October. 1898.
At this point his mental confusion is very
great. That he was hired to go from there
to some point in this state seems probable,
for he says that ''they" told him to go, and
that with others, all strangers. he was on
the train aboutstwenty-fou hours.
To fhn,, o1,al x&Ja xxyha h.
not seem to have beenrrused we'll. 1t was in
some forest and Che was employed cutting
wood. For four nights they slept on the
ground. evidently in a hut. and there were
nine of them where he was.
This camp, wherever it was, he describes
as located in a very rough country, with
many brooks and small streams about. and
among mountains. 1t is thought that he may
have been sent from New York to some
Italian railroad constructing camp. Be thar
as it may, they told him that there was
no more work for him, and sent him to a
poor house where there are many mad
people, about 200 of the mad and sick, and
about go who look after them. There he
was employed from last winter up to a few
days ago, getting only his board. He then
left. and says that he has been six days on
the road. ii
1t is thought that this place may have
been the insane asylum at Augusta. He is
anxious to be sent back to France, and it is
evident that he has been made the victim of
parties who wanted to be rid of him, and SO
shipped him to the United States.
The 'they" of whom he talks, seems to be
anyone with whom he has come in contact,
since his home was broken up. He seems
to have gone wherever told to go, and to
have acted under anyinfiuence with which
he may have come i'll contact. The case is
regarded as very strange one.

AN ODD STATE OF THINGS.
"Drummers'" Invitations to Call Are Too
Numerous at Old Orchard.

A somewhat odd state of things exists
at Old Orchard and the post office de-
partment is of the opinion that the hotel
proprietors have the right of it. The
trouble is over the sending of circulars to
guests at the hotels. 1t has become the
custom for business men Drumming
trade to get lists of the guests at all the
summer resorts and then send them in
vitations to call. This has been done to
such an extent as to greatly add to the
labor of distributing the letters at the
hotels, and finally the hotel people
''kicked.n
They say that when one of the circulars
is received by a guest it is bung back un-
read. and that it is many times regarded
as an insult. At last the conclusion was
reached to receive, but to decline to dis
tribute such letters. and a great mass of
them have accumulated at Old Orchard.
representing great many dollars in
printing and stamps. Portland and Bos-
ton business men are the only ones rep
resented in this dead letter department.
The postmaster general was applied to
by the hotel men and said in effect that
the duty of his department ended when
properly stamped envelope reached the
place where it was designed to go, but
that the matter of delivering such letters
was only an arrangement between the
hotel people and their guests. They will
not be delivered.
Saturday Boston advertiser sent a
package in wrapper addressed to the
guests of one of the hotels. Inside this
wrapper was a package of letters adj
dressed to individual guests. This has
been referred to the post office depart
ment. Apparently if advertisers desire
to reach Old Orchard summer citizens
they muat advertise in the papers.

St. Dominic's Church.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the
dedication of St. Dominic's church, and the
services were very appropriate. Besides the
rector. Father Hurley, there was large
attendance of clergy. The altar was 'ablaze
with lights, and the music under the charge
of the admirable organist, Miss Egan, was
fine. no little of the effect produced result
ing from the charming singing of Miss
Perry. Gunod's mass was performed in ex-
cellent style. Rev. Father Knapp, of the
Dominican Order, preached an elegant and
powerful sermon

The many friends of Harry q. Thomp-

months. Mrs Thompson was a kind and

and coincidence for Mr.. Thompson in this
dark hour OF trial and affiiction.

The Old, Old Man.

A mile or so from the Westbury Half
Way House there is little cluster of red
buildings to the north of the highroad
Here, nestled between modern shoot
ing box and all ancient farmstead, is
small chapel, and within the chapel
memorial plate to Parr: ''The old, old,
very old man, born in the year Of our
Lord 1883. He lived in the reign of ten
kings and queens Of England, died the
18th and was buryed in Westminster
abbey On the 9th Of November, 1886.
The inscription On brass, in a neat
oak frame, of course proves nothing,
though it may we'll date from the mid
die of the seventeenth century. Its most
attractive feature is the neatly engrav-
ed head of Parr, which is little at vari-
ance with that given in Taylor's pam
phlet. 1t is hard to think this serene
faced person, in the conical skullcap,
the trim white collar and many but
toned coat, was farm laborer all his
life. His peaked beard is of the kind
Vandyke loved to paint, and his mus
tache runs down into it. The nose is
long and straight, and his eyebrows are
handsomely arched
Whether this portrait be true or an
ideal one, it is famously suggestive of a
man who sshath not been troubled in
mind for either the building or throwing
down of abbeys and religious houses =
who did never "murmur at the manner
of prayers, let them be Latin or Eng
lish,'' and who held it safest to be of
the religion Of the king and queen that
were (sic) in being. It is to be hoped
indeed he was such a man, else he
could not have lived through more
tiresome century and a half Of English
life. Macmillan s Magazine.
