Boston, March 10.-During the past
week, as has been told Captain Hank

new Herreshoff sloop at Deer Isle, Me

that vicinity, These Deer Islanders will

For generations the men Of Deer Isle have
been followers of the sea, and they have
splendid reputation as sailors The ma
jority of those who signed articles to
serve under Captain Half are young OF
middle aged men. who have been mates
and masters in the coasting fleet. Some
of them have served as sailing masters In
racing yachts. The new crew are almost
to man well educated, and their expert
ence as officers, rather than as simple
foremost hands, has taught them to think
for themselves, and to think quickly.
The story comes from Kingston that

Watson on Clarll's Island and that Cap
tain Watson promised to pick out some of
the best of the Clark's Island. Duxbury

A GREAT WATER POWER
That Will be Worth Millions TO St. Paul and
Minneapolis.

ST. Paul, Mimi, March 1o.-Thomas
Lowry, president of the Twin City Tran
sit Company, and Charles A. Pillsbury,
the big miller, has evolved scheme
which, they claim. will save st. Paul and
Minneapolis millions of dollars. 1t is,
in word, to utilize the water power
above Meeker's island.
The energy Of the falls Of St. Anthony,
which grind the wheat for the
millions of inhabitants Of this and other
countries, is 1900 horse power, and it is
estimated that the present scheme of dam
ming the river short distance below the
present falls, at least within mile OF
them, will give fully 10000 horse power
a power almost half as great as the maxi
mum energy of St. Anthony and suf1i-
cient to operate the street car lines of both
cities, the mills and factories, heat and
building elevators-in fact, sufficient to
supplant steam wherever used, and place
lamp on every street crossing in either
city, and all at half of the present cost.

has this dispatch from Constantinople;
"Munir Boy, imperial secretary, has re-

her. He had been drinking a little dur
ing the night. He was a laborer, and had
a grown-up family.

IS II THE END2
A Time of Great Mortality.
Especially Noticeable in Children. = VIII
Man Cease to Exist - Can thu
"Omega" be Ayerted?

Especially Noticeable in Children. - VIII
Man Cease to Exist : Can the
"Omega" be Averted?
Why is it, with our improved sanitary
appliances, our care to obtain fresh air,
pure food, and plenty of exercise, the OBJ
servance, in fact, of every hygienic law,
that in spite of every care each succeed
ing generation seems to become weaker
and shorter lived? Is it that we are now
suffering for indiscretions of our ances-
tors, or is that terrible, unknown end of
man at hand
Whatever the cause, the existing con-
dition of things is too apparent. Especi-
ally is this noticeable with the babies.
Instead of the mothers life-giving milk,
they are compelled to begin struggle for
existence with the bottle. The result in
many cases is disastrous. The little one,
failing to obtain necessary nourishment,
grows weaker daily, until death ends the
struggle. The end in these cases is
Simply Starvation.
With this termination so often the case,
the best physicians of the day have re-
sorted to the use of Bovinine, that great
and original raw food product, as means
to save the babies.
In this connection DIR. A. B. Robinson,
81 Dudley St., Boston, after commencing
Bovinine most highly for various compli-
cations where the waste of disease must
be checked, and new blood, flesh, and
strength created to effect cure, says
concerning this life-creating preparation,
"With feeble, bottle-fed babies, small
amount added to the milk has in my
practice saved many children"
Bovinine is not medicine, but a
life-maintaining, flesh, bone, and blood
making preparation that contains the
greatest amount of nourishment in the
least possible bulk.
Give it to the l.ttle ones while there is
still hope. Your physician, if you ask
him, will recommend it, and you will
bless the results obtained forever.

The York County Court House Fight Again
ESPECIAL. TO THE PREss.l

Sanford, Septemb ber 3-Everyone who
read the PRESS last winter during the
session of the Maine legislature is
familiar with the county court house
fight between Biddeford and tho towns in
that section against the people of the
northern portion Of the county. Quite
recently the county commissioners de-
cided to begin some necessary i'm
provements on the court house i. g. the
addition of twenty-six feet to the main
building of the interior and the establish
ment of modern methods of lighting,
heating, ETC., besides introducing sani-
tary arrangements and a more recent
manner of obtaining water than the old
oaken bucket style that has been in vogue
in these parts 81 nee long before the
county buildings were erected. The
Biddeford people who have been trying
for the last twenty-four years, more or
less to have the county seat removed to
their city, were not slow to learn Of this
action on the part of the commissioners
and they at once put in remonstrance
signed by Hon. Charles II. Prescott and
seven others, asking for hearing, which
was granted them today. Lawyer Brad
bury of Saco appeared for the Bidde-
fordites, and Lawyer Yeaton of Berwick
who for number of years has been in
the employ of the Boston and Maine
railroad, as an attorney, represented the
people of the northern section of the
county. Bradbury entered the plea in
behalf of his constituency, that the ex-
penditure of large sum of money ON the
county buildings at the present time
meant that they would always remain in
Alfred. Attorney YeatoI quoted extracts
from the Revised Statutes u show that it
was the duty of the county commissioners
TO go ahead and make the required i'm
provements. Late in the afternoon the
commissioners voted on the question, and
their decision was to go ahead and COM
plete the work. The remonstrants are
now talking about an injunction . re-

COL FoRNEY- TO BE -couRu MAR:
TAILED.
He is Commandant of Marines at the
Portsmouth Navy Yard.

7 Washington, Sept. 3.-Secretary Her
bert today approved the finding of the
court of inquiry which met at the Brook
lyn Navy Yard to investigate the deroga-
tory reports concerning Col. James For
ney of the United States marine corps,
and followed this action by directing
the judge advocate general to draw an
order converting court martial for the
trial of Col. Forney. The reports con-
cerning Col Forney were filed at the
Navy Department by Col. Haywood, the
commandant of the marine corps. They
were to effect that Col. Forney had
been negligent in caring for government
property for which he was responsible
and the testimony dealt with large sup
plies of government fuel, and bed linen,
which had been sent to the Colonel S
residence in Brooklyn, and of which he
had rendered no account. The findings
of the court Of inquiry were unfavorable
to Col Forney. The court will meet at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Col. Forney
is the second ranking officer of the ma
rine corps He was commandant of
marines at Brooklyn Navy Yard at the
time the negligence is said to have oc-

Debt Statement DELAYED.

Washington, Sept. 3-No debt state
ment was issued from the Treasury today
for August as an error in cash account
prevented balance being struck. The
error is simply one of tabulation, but
involves the search of the Treasurer s
books for the entire month of August
Such errors frequently occur and usually
the difference in balancing is only few
cents, which is more difficult to find
than if it were an terror of 81, 600 or 81, :
600, 900.
A few minutes before four today the
error in the treasury cash was discovered
and balance was struck. The error was
trivial one of a few cents only, but it
was discovered too late to permit the debt
statement to be issued today. 1t will be
made public tomorrow. The treasury
balance as shown in tom morrow's state
ment will be s184, 039, 1885, of which 800,
329, S37 is gold. The gold reserve with
Withdrawals and deposits unofficial,
stands today, accounted for at s1O1, 800,

ATTEMPTED BANK ROBBERY.
Burglars Blasted the Door of the Vault
But Were Frightened Away,
TsPEc1AL TO THE PRESS.


Oakland, September 3.-The Messa-
lonskee National bank was entered Mon
day night by burglars and several unsuc-
cessful attempts were made to break open
the vault. The burglars entered by
pry1ng open the door of the bank and
holes were bored in the vault door and
two attempts were made to blow it open.
The explosion awakened Mrs. Joseph
Harris, whose house is next to the bank,
and her light was seen by the burglars
who Immediately left. Mrs. Harris saw
five men in the gang. The vault door
was in such shape that it was necessary
to force it. Tuesday morning before il
could be found whether anything had
be IL stolen from the safe. The inner safe
door however, was untouched, SO it was
evident the outer door had not been
opened when the burglars were frightened
away. This is the second attempt within
year to burglarize this bank, but both
have been unsuccessful.
