Aroostook Applea.

THE PRODUCT OF wAsHBURN ORCHARDS,
In the window Of John B. Stoves bar
Der shop in Saco are some apples which il
makes ones mouth water to look at. They
are from Aroostook county and we're
brought home by Mrs. Stowe and Mrs.
David Moulton Of Saco, who have lust re-
turned from visit in Aroostook enthusi-
astic over the richness and beauty Of that
country. The apples are big as base balls.
smooth fair and red checked, without a
blemish, yet they were picked from the
trees just as they came within reach and
are only samples Of the fruit. They are
from the orchards of S. W. Taber and
Frank w. Dyer of Washburn. Mr.. Taber
has an orchard Of 1900 apple trees and
LOU plum trees. Last season he gather
ed 800 bushels of plums, and in spite Of
the failure of the apple crop elsewhere,
his 2, 600 trees are loaded. He has car rum
ming into his cellar SO that the apples NAV
not be Jared or bruised from the time
they are picked until they are stored, and
the great cellar is kept at an even tenn
perature all the year round. Mr.. Taber's
orchard is one Of the biggest and best in
all Aroostook, and the trees were set out
twenty-five years ago when little was
known of that great farming country. He
always has a market for his fruit product.
and this year gets his own price for his
apples.

The Great Sails Of Racing Yachts.


The sails of the racers are probably the
most wonderful part of their whole make
up. Defender, when she has her main
sail, her jib, her jib topsail, her staysail,
and her working tOpsail up, carries IL. 600
square feet Of canvas. And when she
substitutes for these working sails her bal
loon jib, her club topsail, and puts out
her spinnaker she almost doubles that
area. These sails cost thousands Of dol
lars, because there must be several of
each in case of accident to one or another,
and for use in the different kinds of wind
that may prevail in a race. There is a
heavy mainsail for strong winds, Of sea-
island cotton or Egyptian cotton or ramie
cloth, while the jibs are made Of lighter
grades Of the same material, until they
come down to the constituency of coarse
pocket handkerchief. One Of Defender s
spinnakers is of Scotch linen. In 1898 it
was reported that one of Valkyrie lis big
spinnakers was of silk, but it was not; it
was of exceedingly fine Irish linen.
Taking all these matters into account,
and considering that each boat must have
from forty to fifty sailors to man her, it
becomes evident that the building and
maintaining Of such yacht is ma tier
Of no small expense. MI. George Gould
spent no less than $40, 600 to put Vigilant
in condition to race with the Defender in
the preliminary trials this year. The
crew has to be engaged and trained for
weeks before the racer is put into commits
sion, and kept at work for a couple of
months before the great contests for the
cup are held. These sailors, of course,
cannot live on the yacht, since there is no
room for hunks OF lockers or galley on
the modern racing machine Therefore
both Defender and Valkyrie have steam
tenders Harper Round Table.

BossisIn i'll Maryland.

The Baltimore Sun (Dem.), viii oh is
vigorously opposing the German as CEN
dency in Maryland, thus describes the
way in which the boss nominated a re-
spectacle man like Mr. Hurst to be the
Democratic candidate for gov ernor Of
Maryland.
''Mr. German had previously assembled
himself in conveniently small room in
the Carrollton Hotel and, having called
Mr.. Rasin to order, they two, being Of
one mind, and of one accord, nominated
Mr.. Hurst without dissentient voice.
From that moment, according to the con-
stitntion and bylaws of the German Rasin
party, MI. Hurst became the necessary
and inevitable Irregular candidate 1t
only remained for the unanimous Cor
man and Rasin to press the button, and
the convention could not help doing the
rest. The whole affair was automatic
and autocratic-but never at any point in
the process was it democratic
In the same article the Sun declares
that the honest manhood of the Mary land
Democracy has come to the parting of the
ways. This being the case, it would
seem that the short method for downing
German is for ''the honest manhood to
turn out and vote for MI. Lowndes, the
Republican candidate: but Will they?

The most important thing for Inquirer

il is also important that the wood Of
