The second reunion of the Clements Fam
lily was held at Richie Grange Hall, Waldo,
Sept. 18th. Owing to some misunderstand-
ing the attendance was not so large as ex-
pected, but all present voted tia very enjoy
able time. After bountiful dinner, which
did great credit to the cooks Of the family,
the meeting was called to order by Presi-

The Mosquito Fleet Race.

The first race Of boats under twenty feet
in length, over all for pair of marine glasses
given by Mr.. 81. j. Locke took place last
Saturday afternoon. Seven boats entered
and were started at p. m. from a stake
boat off Carter's yard. The course was to
and around the can buoy off the monument
and return. This called for windward work
to the buoy, though the wind was somewhat
uncertain and one or two of the boats got
favorable starts. Mr.. Parker's cat-boat was
first off and easily maintained the lead
throughout, coming home a winner The
Hattie, Idlewi,d and Ethel made a good
showing, but there really was not wind
enough for fair test of the merits Of the
boats. The Stranger was late at the
starting point, but went in on the time Of
the last boat. The Ethel had an outer lib
for the race and the Idlewild and Sparrow
set spinnakers for the race home. It was
intended to send the boats around the Sec
ond time but the wind dropped SO that the
Sparrow and Idlewild were recalled after
starting over the course. Mr.. Groeschner
kindly placed his steam launch Guenevere
at the disposal Of the judges and she was
used to place the stake boat and to run
down to the buoy to see that it was turned
properly. The next race will be sailed next
Saturday at / p. NJ, the course to be laid
out according to the direction of the wind,
and the winner Of two out Of three races
takes the marine glasses. Following is the

Dickey. Every exertion was made to save
vented. Between the house and barn was a
board partition. This was removed and the
barn saved. The house was vacant and con
tanned no furniture except an old table Mr.
Dickey had not occupied the house for some
time, and it was last rented to Mr.. Proctor,
who vacated it some time ago. In all proba-
hility it was an incendiary fire. and as there
was no Insurance it is mystery what ones

1t seems that the Sunday night before
an attempt was made to burn the barn.
but it was seen in time to save it. Last
Friday evening another attempt was
made to destroy the barn, but the flames

man Of the board of selectmen, to see if it
would not be best to have watchman il

1t is said to have been the worst Sep
TENDER warm wave in 25 years; but
warm is hardly the name for it. While
we i'll the Northeast were sweltering Sun
day, the thermometer in Chicago dropped
40 degrees in 20 minutes and wintry rain
fell. In Colorado the contrast was even
greater, as the following despatch shows
Denver, Col, Sept. %. The damage
done to the fruit interests by the heavy
snow fall of last night is beyond compu-
tation. In the vicinity of Denver fruit
and shade trees We're broken by the heavy
snow freezing to the limbs, yet in full
leaf. and scarcely a tree for miles around
escaped injury. Reports from the interior
show the same deplorable conditions,
varying only in degree. While the fruit
growers may save most of the matured
fruit, the more serious injury is in the
broken trees and shattered trunks The
snow storm was general over the State,
the amount varying from to II inches.
To-day the sun shone clear. The indica-
lions are favorable for killing frost to-

The affairs of the Granite State Provi-
dent Association of New Hampshire,
which is doing a building and loan as
ISOLATION business and has four thousand
shareholders in Maine, and holds nearly
four hundred thousand dollars Of their
money, are attracting much attention.
Hon. Charles r. Written, State Bank
Examiner, has since last June been ac-
lively engaged in an investigation of the
affairs of this Association and on the eve
of turning over the Office to his successor
his report was made public, accompanied
by a lengthy letter from Governor Cleaves.
The report is sensational in the allegations
it makes, some Of which are thus sum
married:
Instead of a surplus of S152, 716, which
the books of the company show, he finds
an apparent deficit of s13, O29. He finds
that President G. Percival Stewart has
been borrowing, on inadequate security,
money from the association at six per
cent. interest, and has been reinvesting it
in the preferred shares of the company at
doing business whereby the association
may show gain of S25, 900, while the
business, taken as a whole, would result
in net loss of S25, 900. He finds that the
members of the association have paid in
S1.55 for every dollar that they have
credited to them on the books He finds
also numerous irregularities in the man
agement Of the affairs Of the company.
The Governors letter, which embodies
the important portions Of MI Written S
report, refers the report to Mr.. Timber
lake, the new State Bank Examiner. The
Governor remarks that where corpora
ton transacts business in such manner
as to be hazardous to the State the bank
examiner may revoke Or suspend author
ity to do business and Mr. Timberlake is
authorized by Governor Cleaves, should
| he decide, to suspend such authority and
to apply to the courts for such processes
at the expense of the State.
The officers of the Association deny
these charges; and the Presid ent, G.. Per-
cival Stewart, has published a letter in
which he charges that Commissioner
Written has misled the Governor and
Council, and says that the association has
invested more money in Maine than it has
taken out and that it can carry out its
contracts and mature it's shares.

Belfast was favored last week with the
presence of band of able, earnest wo-
men, who have devoted themselves to
eliminating evils and elevating humanity
who are working on various lines, all of

which has attended their undertakings.

tention of large audiences. There was
one feature OF this convention which
seems to US to call for special commenda-
ton. There was no word or suggestion
in disparagement Of others who NAV be
engaged in similar lines Of work. The
Reformer, Individually or collectively. is
too apt to think that all outside of his or
her field are not to be tolerated: to spurn
aid from outside sources, and thus most
assuredly to retard the cause at heart.

will accomplish much more. Bigotry and
intolerance are repellant in secular as in
religious matters.
While the Nom Partisan w. C. T. u. as
its name implies, eschews politics, and is
in fact as in name temperance organiza-
ton, the reports submitted to the conven-
ton show that it has worked, and is work
ing, in many directions. Manual training.
cooking schools, sewing schools, temper
ance instruction in the public schools, are
among the things within the scope Of its
earnest active effort, and the dedication
OF the Girls Home in Belfast crowns an
other achievement Of these women. Their
work thus far has been such as to com
