Gorham, June 28.-Hon Isaac W. Dyer,
treasurer of the Gorham Water company,
rendered a banquet to the officers OF the
Water company, the officers of the Village
Corporation and the committee who IN
vestigated the subject of a water supply
and made the contract between the COM
pany and the corporation at Crystal
Spring House, Thursday evening. Nearly
twenty sat at the tables After ample
justice had been done the elegant spread
and cigars lighted, the host made happy
remarks and introduced ex-Gov. Roble,
Stephen Hinkley and the others present
in their turn who spoke on the success
the sentiment was that if all worked to-
gether in the future, as they did on the
water question, Gorham would soon see
an electric road to Portland, either along
the highway or motor system over the
lime of the Portland and Rochester rail
road, electric lights and many other i'm
provements Plans to endow the old
Gorham academy were also discussed.
All present were willing to do their
utmost to increase the interests of the
village.
A vote of thanks was extended to Mr..
Dyer for his generous entertainment and
his great interest in securing water forour
village AT seasonable hour they depart
ed for their homes. They came to the
conclusion that the first thing for Gorham
was lighted streets. Through the gen
erosity of Mr.. Dyer a fount ain is to be
placed in Central square.

100 per cent greater than it need be. Tx
pertinent has demonstrated this time and
time again, but many housekeepers, espe-
cially among those who have the greatest
need to practice economy, cannot be
brought to a realization of the extrava-
gance Of their manner Of cooking.
In many public schools physiology is
now one branch in the course Of study.
This affords an opportunity for the intelli-
gent teacher to impart to our future house,
keepers some knowledge Of the relative
values Of food, and with this knowledge
as a foundation we win probably learn
some day to utilize many food producers
that arc now wasted. The cooking schools
are doing much to bring about that time
by showing rs how to prepare apputizing
meals from whit our mothers would have
thrown away, and also how in a pinch to
serve the same article of food every day
for a week, but prepared in so many en-
tirely different ways that the head Of the
house docs not complain Of a monotony.-

Of the Yukon, and is in the Northwest ter
ritory, 2316 miles from the Alaska line by
way of Forty hIile creek and 80 miles to
the line by going down the Yukon TO
Boundary creek. 1t has now about 121
houses, most of them being cabins built of
logs, but very comfortable. The first round
of logs is put solidly on the ground, and on
top Of each succeeding round of logs, after
they have been hewn or Strengthened, thore

next round is notched, it is put in place on
top of the moss and so on until the top is

the moss IS thrown mud or dirt. As the

A correspondent of the Boston Herald
recalls the origin of the word lingo, now
so widely used on both sides Of the Allan

Turkish atrocities in Bulgaria $50 vividly
described and so vigorously reprobated by
Mr.. Gladstone), the adyisability of English
Intervention was agitated by a large war
party, whose members were Of all shades
of political opinion and joined forces only
on this one point. There Is no public
question in England that does not sooner
or later get into the songs in the music
halls, and SO one Of the most popular sing
ers of the day wrote ditty, with these
lines for a chorus;
We don want to fight; but. bv jingol If we do,
We've got the men, we've got the ships, we've
got the money tool
This song was received by the patrons
Of the music halls with every demonstra-
ton Of enthusiasm, and the refrain quick
ly found its way into the newspapers. An
anti-intervenGonist journal one morning
contemptuously referred editorially to the
extremists as "jingoists The word was
not long afterward heard on the floor Of
the house Of commons and quickly there
after took its place in the popular vooabu-

was used yesterday. When the water had
reached the proper temperature, Dr. Whit

the body in the tub. It was then about II
O'Clock in the morning, and from that
time until o'clock, when the experiment
was given up, the condition of the corpse
was studiously watched by Dr. Whitney.
Although the experiment was a failure, at
times the blood was started to circulate
and the face and lips assumed their nat

felt to throb several times. When the test
was over, DR.. Whitney claimed it was not

Some Courageous Deeds of the Murdered
Bulgarian Statesman.

Bulgarian Statesman.
They are telling in these days many
stories about Stambuloff's personal cour-
age. One Of these relates to the time when
he was an exile in Bucharest. A journal
of that place printed an article in which
he was loaded with abusive epithets 1t
was also intimated that he and certain of
his compatriots had left their country for
their country's good Personally he did
not mind this attack, but he felt that for
political reasons he must take notice Of it.
To ignore it would injure the cause for
which heswas fighting. So he waited upon
the editor, found him alone and demanded
a retraotion. The editor promised that he
should have it, adding, ." Meet me tonight
at (naming a cafe in the city, and / viii
show you draft of it for your approval.
When Stambuloff entered the cafe at the
hour agreed upon, he found the editor sur
rounded by dozen Of his friends-Rus-
sian braves. As Stambuloff approached
the group the editor laughed in his face
and babe him go to the devil. Stambulof
quietly said: II shall not challenge you to
fight me, for you are a coward and would
decline. But will force you to challenge
me- or show yourself greater coward

times In the open face with his open hand,
then spat upon him, turned upon his heel
and walked away. The editor did not dare
to challenge, nor did one of his friends ex-

pier in his behalf.
At later day he broke up a conspiracy
against Prince Alexander by arresting the

trusted with the somewhat delicate task
This was plot headed by Major Panitza

knew, throughout the army and the po-
lice. Even if those sent to arrest Panitza
were honest, it was known that he always

ing it, he tore it to pieces, remarking, as
be did So Frank, 1 guess we'd better
make a new start in this matter"
During the holidays Mr.. Perkins re-
celved from his tenant a very fine turkey.
1t was all that he received for the farm for
the year. 1t, however, afforded him as
much or more satisfaction than the $500
Of cash would. The example set by Mr.
Perkins early in the fall became quite
infectious, and many other farm tenants in
the vicinity were similarly deait with by
their landlords.-Dcs Moines Review
