The address Of State Master Wiggin be-
fore the Maine Grange has attracted much
attention, and while all may not agree
with some of its views, it is decidedly
able paper and will have much influence.
Among other things, Mr.. Wiggin says:
We as farmers have long been taught
that capital invested in other callings is
necessarily our natural enemy On the
other hand, men who have their capital
invested in mercantile and manufacturing
interests seem to think that in matters Of
legislation affecting industrial interests
they must perforce antogonize the agri-
cultural classes. l maintain that this is
all wrong. The interests Of the different
industries in our State are identical and
the prosperity Of one is intimately CON
nected with the successful prosecution Of
all the others. No industry in the State,
even II 1T have the power, can afford from
financial point of view to Cypress an
other and put it at disadvantage.
NEW YORK, Dec. goth President
Chauncey NJ. Depew of the New York
Central Il. r., said to day: THE war has
already cost the country 81 900, 600, 600 in

only three days. l met man yesterday
who owns most of the swamp in Venezue-
la which is in dispute and he said he
would sell it to me for S25, OOO.''
Mr.. Depew had reference to the Presi-
dent S war like message, which had created
something like panic in the stock mar.
kets by causing the withdrawal of for

The Senate Friday, passed the House
bill making an appropriation for the
Venezuela commission, without amend
ment. TO accompany the appropriation
with conditions as to the character and
work of the commission would be to as
sumo responsibility in Mr.. Cleveland S
policy, and that the Republicans do not
propose to do it. A Washington special to
the Portland Press says:
The sentiment among Republicans here
is general that MI. Cleveland will appoint
his commission and that, as that body
works along, the Venezuelan matter will
tizzle out. But the financial disturbance
which accompanies it, is the re- opening
of an old sore, and one that is very diff
cult of healing, because the doctors in the
House, in the Senate and in the White
House are in a state of fundamental dis
agreement.
OF Mr.. Cleveland it may be said truth
fully, that he is an isolated man, estrang-
ed from the prominent leaders Of his own
party in Congress and not in communica-
ton with the Republicans. The consul
tations and interchanges of opinion which
should be had at such times do not occur.
The executive thrashes about without re-
gard to the rest of the governmental ma
chine.

The Maine Congressman were fairly en-
titled to the committee assignments given
them, although it might seem like bestow-
ing too much upon our State, and we are
glad to find that no jealousies have been
aroused thereby. The Boston Herald
says, editorially:
The conspicuous honors which Speaker
Reed has bestowed upon his three col
leagues from Maine in the distribution of
his committees might be expected to oc-
casion some jealousy were it not for the
fact that they are all what might be called
natural selections, which might appropri-
ately have been made by a Republican
speaker chosen from any other State Mr.
Dingley, Mr.. Boutelle and MI. Milliken
have all seen long congressional service,
and have been conspicuous members OF
the important committees of which they
are now made chairmen. The promi-
nence of Maine in our national councils is
due to hel habit of electing able men to
Congress and keeping them there as long
as they are willing to serve

DRANK KNOCK OUT DROPS.
A Maine Mans Sad Experience With Two
Friendly Strangers.

Boston, June 30-The Globe reports
thatsThomas Walker, superintendent of
the woolen mills at Warren, Me, was
worked by bunco men Friday night. Mr.
Walker was approached by two we'll
dressed and respectable appearing men,
who struck up an acquaintance with
him and five minutes after administered
a dose OF knockout drops, in consequence
of which he became helpless, and for fully
an hour knew absolutely nothing of what
was going on.
When at last he regained consciousness
he was on side street near Court square,
and found some one tugging at his dia-
mond ring Graphing with his assailant,
struggle ensued, and the next he knew
the thief had vanished, taking the ring
along with him.
II was still dazed, - said Mr. Walker,
s'but thought at once of my watch and
chain and big diamond pin They
were every one missing, and then, for
the first time, it dawned upon me that
had been in the hands of bunco men
all the while, and that they had robbed
me of not only all my jewelry, but also Of
every cent of money in my possession.
"The money l did not care SO much
about for l had only about $50 in my
pockets at the time, but the watch itself
cost $3.50, and the diamond ring and
stud together $780, / would rather have
given five times the cost of the ring thar
to lose it, on account of its associations. !"

FELL THIRTY FEET,
Firemen Killed and Injured When Blaz
ing Building Collapsed.

Worcester, Mass, June 30.-A second
alarm of fire was sounded at O'Clock
this morning for fire in the three story
frame building at 10 Brackett court
occupied as a rag shop and mattress
factory by the Hubley Manufacturing and
Supply company. The fire was on the
second and third floors, and it is supposed
to have originated by spontaneous COM
bustion. Hose was at work on the third
floor when the building collapsed, on ac-
count of the heavy weight on that floor.
The entire company was carried to the
first floor, thirty feet below. Lieutenant
John j. Boyle and Hoseman William F.
Brigham of Hose were killed and buried
in the debris. The injured include
Deputy Chief Engineer George S. Cole
man, Captain Avery of Hose 4, Captain
Sweet of Eengine 4, and five others. The
loss is $4,000 to $40, 600; insured for $4,000.

The first comers were often in terror be-
cause of wild animals and it is related
that at times provisions were so scarce
| that they were hungry on an average one
day in four. But by 1890 the plantation
had grown until it had population of
532, and in 1895 it was Incorporated.
John Herrick was the moderator, Noah
Litchfeld the clerk, John Herrick,
Joel Thompson, Winslow Ames, James
Garcelon and Daniel Davis selectmen.
Abner Harris was treasurer.
The population was 948 in 1600;ss l, OBS
in 1910; 1,312 in 1920; l, $40 in 1880, and
l, $40 in 1840 After 1910 the town COM
menced to grow rapidly. Before that time
it had been largely farming communi,
water power made it city. For some
years previousyto 1919 there was small
card1ng and fulling mill by the falls.
This mill was owned by Michael Little.
The limited operations of the mill were
extended by Dean Frye, who came in
1919 from Brunswick When the mill
was burned in 1929, three-story struc-
ture took its place, and Frye and his son,
1,S John, began the manufacture of satinets.
Ihat was the beginning of the great
woolen mills which now line the banks
OF the Androscoggin. Still more humble
was the starting of the cotton manufact-
urlngs, Ephraim Woods, who began MAX
4iie oooool WafpS ana DaUUlng III 1850,
using only one floor of building that
was devoted to various manufactures. 1t
is hard to realize in this Lewiston of to-
day, with its streets lined with business
blocks and echoing with the hum of
trade interrupted now and again by
the clang of the:gongs on theEelectric cars;
With Its miles of residence streets, devot-
ed to pretty and comfortable houses, and
with the great mills, from whence comes
this prosperity, that it is all practically
the growth of half century. 1t is hard
to remember that it is only since 1862
that Lewiston has been city and that
Senator Frye was it's second Mayor,
Jacob B. Ham being the first Then
Lewiston had population of about
1900. Now it numbers over 81, 900. So
the people here think they have right
to their centennial celebration and they
extend cordial invitation to Maine peo-
pie to come and help the jollification
