Capt. Geo. L. Norton, editor Of the
Marine Journal, New York, recently visit

paper give the Pine Tree State a good
send off. Among other things he says
Coming right down to the basis of the
wealth of Maine it will be found to have
consisted almost solely of wood and
water, yet so efficiently have these two
goes from Gotham to its stimulating at
mosphere nowadays for vacation is tempt
ed to wish that his motto had been not
only ito Maine," but Ito remain" The
evidences Of the water interest Of Maine
are very abundant, extending from its
lengthy coastline up it's beautiful rivers to
the thousands of lakes and streams in the
interior that will in course of time supply
power enough to furnish electrical energy
for innumerable industries. Even in its
rawest and most ordiDary form the Maine
water furnishes unsurpassed drink for
man and beast that accounts in no small
degree for the health of the population,
furnishes unsurpassed avenues Of naviga-
ton that have successfully invited the
building of ships and the shipment of
lumber, and, when CONCEALED by nature s
frigidity into glistening cakes Of ice,
furnishes an unsurpassed article Of COM
merce that the men of Maine have not
been slow to take advantage of. Thus
with merely an ak and an arm Of Drawn
it has been possible for a man to land
upon the coast of Maine, cut down and
build his own house and his own vessels,
cut lumber to freight his vessels in sum
mer and ice in winter. while fish from
the water and game from the woods NAV
have furnished ample sustenance.

Miss Wizards Program.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union is not getting much encou ragement
from the press for its threatened incursion
into partisan politics and when the White
Ribboners come to think it over we have not
much doubt they will come to the co nclu-
sion that the moral reforms they are engag-
ed in, and concerning the desirability Of
which there Is no dispute, furnish sufficient
field of effort; and that the advocacy of
theories, concerning the correctness OF
which there is very serious dispute, must
handicap their labor in the moral field and
greatly reduce its effectiveness. Portland
Press, Rep.
It would appear to the average observer
that Miss Frances E Willard is laying out
q large amount of additional work for the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
One would think that the promotion of tenn
perance, social purity and the advancement
Of women, would be comprehensive enough
for one body Of women, but she proposes
that the Union 60 into the fight for free sill
yer, on the basis Of 16 to l, the Henry George
single tax idea and other socialistic chimeras.
With all her influence it does not seem pos
sible she can induce that now powerful or
ganization to wreck itself by following this
path to destruction. Portland Sunday

Chairman H. G. Mcmillan, of the Iowa
Republican Central Committee, gives out
an interview on Senator Allison's Presi-
dental candidacy, in which he says:
''Quay, Platt, Marley, Clarkson, Sena-
tor Davis, and Frank Pettigrew are all
pledged for western man. and are work
ing to secure the nomination Of Allison.
They are of the opinion that Reed, while
still candidate, will have little show of
success, and that the fight will be between
Allison and Mckinley. Recent occurrences
in the east would indicate that the McKin-
ley boom started too slow, and Reeds is
setting for Allison.
There has been an impression that one,
at least, of those named above is for Reed,
first, last and all the time.

is destined to accomplish much good. Real
izing that three-fourths Of all our sufferings
arise from stomach troubles. that the coun-
try is literally filled with people who cannot
eat and digest food, without subsequently
suffering pain and distress, and that many
are starving, wasting to mere skeletons, be-
cause their food does them no good, they
have devoted much study and thought to
the subject, and the result is this discovery

Mi. Hervey to Retire from Business.

The retirement from active business of
Mr.. Calvin Hervey closes long and honor
able career. For more than 80 years-to be
exact, since 1S44-he has been engaged in
the jewelry business in Belfast and the
greater part. of that time at his present loca-
ton on Phoenix Row. A native Of New
buryport, Mass, he went to Bangor when
sixteen years old, and there served an
apprenticeship Of six year at the watch
makers bench. Then four years were spent
in Camden, at the end of which time he
came to Belfast, which has since been his
residence. If not the Oldest business man
in Belfast, there is certainly no other bust
ness here that has continued so long under
one name and at one location. In no other
line of business has there been a greater
revolution than in that conducted by Mr..
Hervey for more than half century. The
matchmaker and clockmaker have been
superseded, and immense factories turn
out time keepers of all kinds at very
small percentage Of the cost Of these
articles i'll the earlier days. The jewel
ry business has undergone like change.
OCWClly DuyClS SICuu ulI1tS uOW where
they once spent dollars, and watch repairing
calls for much less skill than formerly as it
is easy to replace parts of machine made
watches. The drummer has come upon the
stage in Mr.. Hervey 8 time. He used to go to
New York and Boston for goods that are now
brought to the stores of customers. Natur-
ally Mr.. Hervey feels now that he needs a
respite from business cares, and his stock
will soon be disposed of at private sale or
under tn e hammer of the auctioneer. May
he long enjoy his we'll earned retirement.
