Hairy wild Men of Maine.
From the Buffalo Courier.


Augusta, Me-, June 27.-Four curious
specimens of humanity have been con-
fined in Norridgewock Jail, accused of
sheep stealing. They were arrested in
Brighton.
They belong to a gang of about forty
persons who have no homes, but who
have lived until recently near the Can
adian line, like wild beasts in the sum
mer and in caves during the winter
They wear little or no clothing, and their
backs, which had been long exposed tc
the sun and weather, are covered with
a growth of hair fully three inches long
1t is hard to make sense out of their con-
versation, although they have learned to
swear so they are understood. One of
the men, a giant in form. is an idiot. His
sides are full of small holes made by a
brad in the end of a stick when he has
been yoked to an OK.
The day they were arrested and placed
in Jail they had a fight among themselves,
and tore all the clothing off each other
bodies Police are after others of the
tribe of wild men.

The Happy Man Found,

Mr.. Isaac Joiner, of Western New
ton, who is eighty-two years old,
spent Saturday in town. Some fifty
five years ago he bought a piece Of
land in Lake Hill district, and with
his ak cut logs and built a residence
and barn and cleared his land. Fifty
three years ago he married a charm
ing young lady, and both rode the
same horse to their humble, butt
happy home. All these years they
have gone hand in hand together at
the same dear old place, loving
each other more and more as they
~journeyed down the stream of life.
Mr.. Joiner never held a public Office,
and never had any desire to hold
one, but even now he can take his
rifle and drive the cross as often, or
take his net and catch as many fish,
or take his agate and plumb the mid
die man in a game of marbles as
often as any man of his age in Geor-
gia.-Covington (Ga.) ENTERPRISE.

An Unprecedented Condition.

The South has raised the larg-
est corn crop in it's history. and
likewise the largest fruit and
vegetable crops; its cotton crop
promises a fair yield, with a
prospect for good prices; it's in-
dustrial interests r almost
without exception busy and pros
porous; it's furnaces are pushed
to meet the demand for iron at
profitable figures; it's coal mines
are turning out a larger product
than ever before; it's textile in
dustries are busy. while capital
and population are tending
southwark from every other sec
ton. Such a combination never
existed beforein the South's his
tory. Now is the time for every
place in the South to work to
get the greatest benefits out Of
this unprecedented condition of
affairs. This can be accomplish
ed by advertising in the Manu-
facturers' Record if you want to
reach the manufacturers and
capitalists of the country, aud
by advertising in the Southern
States magazine if you want to
reach land buyers, prospective
settlers from the North and
West, real estate operators, col
onization agents and companies
and fruit growees of the North
and West.

A Hot Wave.

Weather Forecaster Dunn, of
New York, according to the
World, predicts extremely warm
weather for the months of Au-
gust and September. and Mr..
Hicks, of almanac fame, rather
agrees with him. So, between
the two, the people of this por-
ton of the Nrld will have about
all they can attend to. The
New York World contains the
following from Mr.. Dunn. "Look
out for the balance of this month
and September" "They will be
the warmest months of the year.
Everything points to scortching
weather from now on. I've
STAYED it off as long as I could,
but I can't do it any longer. No
doubt there are many who imag-
The the hot season to be practi-
cally over because it has been
cool SO long, but as I have said,
let them new prepare for
warmth"

True, she echoed, leaning toward

worldly wise, or learned to guard
and fence, to weigh and ponder-I

to one who valued the gift so lightly
that he scarcely realized it was his.

I, who look at sentiment from a
psychological point of view-who
care only for the surface pleasures
OF a society woman's existence
who see the ridiculous side of life
and not its pathos-have all these
years fed my fancy on a dream"
He passed his hand over his brow.
Are you in earnest? Is not this
some jest to torture me? l cannot
believe the man lives who is indiffer-
ent to your affection. Perhaps you
wrong him, perhaps he is awkward
at expressing his deeper emotions;
it may be that you are so dear to
him that he fears to lose your
friendship in asking for your love.
1t may be that he puts so poor an
estimate upon himself that in his
widest dreams he cannot imagine
your caring for him. Who knows?
perhaps at this moment he loves
you with all his strength, yet dares
not speak, for fear of your waving
him aside as something of little
worth"
"You plead his case we'll" she
said. Zone might imagine that, in
your day, you had known what
it was to let vanity stand in the way
OF happiness. Tell me--if you cared

to ask her to be your wife, would you

peace because, forsooth, you did
not feel sure what her answer would
be?"
"Assuredly,' he said.
Cruel, ungenerous!" she cried,
springing to her feet. you would
not tell her when, even though she
guessed the truth, being a m
she could not speak? Oh, 1 know
what you would say have heard

can make a man propose to her.
That is not true. Let her over-step

too plainly what her heart is and he
turns from her in disgust. All, if
the day should come when you find
yourself in the place of the character

your goodness, tell her the truth"
He took a half step toward her.

faltered, do with me what you will

There was a moments silence-a
silence fraught with feeling. Then
she lifted her eyes. They were full
of tears.

5:15 O'Clock p. n.y. and went to
the scene. The bodywas tenderly
cared for and was brought to
the city on the train which ar
rived in the city at Gas o'clock
p. m. Upon arrival of the
train the body was taken in
charge by Mr.. J, B. Cooper, of
Woolvin's undertaking estab-
lishment, and conveyed in a cars
riage to Mrs. S. P. Golfers
boarding house on Front and
Chestnut streets, where it was
embalmed and placed in a casket.
Mr., Evans had rooms in the
Dickinson house, on Front and
Chestnut steets, and took his
meals at Mrs. Golfers. He came
in late to dinner. and with Mr..
Dick and others, left for the
beach on the 8 o'clock p. M.
train. He was usually bright and
cheerful, and little did his friends
think when he left the city
his life would be so terribly en-
ded in an hour and a half. His
friends, of whom he had made
some warm ones, though a com
parative stranger in the city,
were greatly shocked by the oc-
currence.
All who have been thrown
with Mr.. Evans highly esteemed
him. He was genial in his DISPOSE
ton and pleasant in manners,
and his presence was always a
source Of pleasure to his acqualn-
tances' It was only the day be-
fore he was drowned that, in
conversation with his friends at
Mrs. Golfers, he spoke Of his
inability to swim, and said he
was very cautious when he went
in the surf. He particularly
said it was very foolish in those
who could not swim to venture
far out and that he would never
risk himslf beyond a safe depth,
Mr. Evans was about 33 years
of age and had been married
about eight years, his wife and
two little children making their
home in Roanoke, Va. They are
at present spending the summer
about fifteen miles from Roanoke
and friends in that city were tele-
graphed to break the terrible
news to her. He came here from
Roanoke last February and sue
ceeded Mr.. Charles Rocket as
manager for the Armour Pack
ing company. He had not visited
his family since he has been here,
but would have left for Roanoke
yesterday had it not been for
the fact that he was detained in
making up his quarterly report
to the company. He had conse-
quently determined to leave on
a visit to his wife and little ones
next Saturday, instead of the joy
Gus meeting that all were pre-
pared for, fate had decreed a
sad Homecoming and grief and
sorrow for his loved ones instead
Of JOY and gladness.
Mr.. Evans was an Odd Fellow
and Knight of Phythias, he had
not, SO far as we could learn,
affiliate with any Of the lodges OF
those orders here. MI. w. H.

of Stonewall Lodge No. 1, K. OF

other Pythians and did all that
could be done.

Republican Ultimatum.
Wilmington Messenger.

Raleigh, Aug. IA Republi-
can, some of whose utterances
must be inspired. is doing some
talking here. He says the Re
publicans are demanding as a
prerequisite to fusion with the
Populists that they shall have
one United States Senator, one
Supreme court Justice, the Gov
ernor, the Secretary ofState and
Attorney General and five of the
eleven electoral votes, with pied
ges from the six Populist cleo
tors that if there is a contest be-
tween a Democrat and a Repub-
lican they will cast their vote for
the latter. There is no objection
on the part of the Republicans to
Treasurer Worth, in fact they
are for him. It is alleged that
Senator Pritchard favors Daniel
L.. Russell for Governor, The
name Of Thomas r. Purnell is
quite prominently mentioned for
Secretary of State. This Re-
publican who talks so much said
that he did not believe in allow
ing a ''small body of long-haired
and wild-eyed Populists, only
40, 900 strong. to dictate to the
Republicans, and that the Popu-
lists ought to be glad to get what
the Republicans gave them"
Those who heard this assured
the Republican who was talking
that "Uhe Republican pole was
not quite long enough to reach
the persimmons'' and that a Pop
ulist splice was necessary to in
sure that sort of success.
Secretary of State Coke's con-
dition is worse. Saturday even
ing this began and for many
hours that night and yesterday
he was delirous. It is reason
ably certain now that he has ty-
phoid fever.
DR.. John B. Carr, whose sick
ness was alluded to a day or two
ago, is also believed to have ty-
phoid fever. He is at the Elk
ecutive mansion. He went there
sick from the insane asylum, of
which he is the pharmacist.
The condition of Mrs. A. H.
Lewis, which was serious Satur-
day night, is improved somewhat
to>day. She had a relapse.
The Atlantic Coast Line to-day

1t IS the purpose of the Form
ers' Alliance to go into manufac
turing. Mr.. j. W, Denmark
tells me that the purpose is to
develop the shoe and leather
trade first, buying hides and
bark from the farmers and sells
ing them shoes, and that then it
is the plan to establish a factory
for the manufacture of wool
hats. He says there are only
thirty-two such manufactures in
this country.
The heat yesterday was positi-
vely whitening. During the past
five or six days there has been
about as much physical discom.
fort as can we'll he imagined.
There was great heat against
this morning, but at noon a
breeze and a rain relieved the
pressure somewhat. A good deal
of rain is needed by all crops
save cotton.
Secretary Barnes, of the State
Farmers alliance, says the re-
