ANOTHER RECORD BROKEN.
Edwards Mills Produced $4,000 Yards OF
Cloth for Week Ending Feb. 8.

The Edwards Manufacturing Company
has again broken it's past records for
production, having attained for the week
ending Feb. 8, total output of about
4,750 pieces or about 712, 600 yards.
The week ending Jan. %, showed
production of 200, 900 yards, which up to
that time was the largest in the history of
the mills, but which has now been badly
beaten.
During the past three or four years the
mills have by additions to the plant, been
increased in facilities for manufacturing
to the tune Of about $50, 900 yards. 1t is
now running to its full capacity, and
things generally axe booming.
Breaking records will soon get to be an
old story at the rate these mills have set
during the past few weeks The impetus
and stimulus to business generally in the
city ia naturally keenly felt and exerts
most acceptable prosperity through trades
in many lines.

SILL NO SOLUTION.
No Further Information Regarding the Nor.
rdgewock Mail Robbery.

No solution has been offered in the case
of Miss Mary Gilman, who is now re.
tanned at the Kenncbec Jail charged with
robbing mail from the post office at South
Norridgewock, last Wednesday.
1t will be reme mbered that, according to
her testimony, Saturday, at the hearing,
her own fathers name was Malone, her
step-father being Augustin Gilman. She
later alleged that her fathers sister. a
Mrs. Hallett, lived in this city. Investi-
CATION was made and Mrs. Hallett was
found, living on Cushnoc Heights. She
said that her brother lived in Skowhegan,
but that his only child, a daughter, could
not be over ! / years Of age
No information has been received of or
from the girls alleged parents, and the
case is apparently unexplainablc,
Miss Gilman maintains her innocence
and claims that she will have, Wednesday,
the testimony of friend in Skowhcgan,
which will sustain her evidence.

lowing criticism:
The Two Johns, Stewart and Dres

through their resem blsnce to each other
were enough to make anybody laugh.
They look SO much alike that it would be
difficult for the uninitiated to tell them
apart.
As Phillip Johns and Peter Johns the
two men make great hit and introduced
q good many new jokes and situations
which are striking. The support by the
remainder of the company is good and
some musical numbers are introduced
which give variety to the programme.

No. 157 Emerson St., South Boston, is the
present home of Rev. c. j. Freeman, A. B.,
Phi. D., the recent rector of st. Marks Episco-
pal Church at Anaconda, Mont. During the
reform movement which has swept over Bos-
ton, DR.. Freeman has been frequently heard
from through the various newspapers and
although resident of comparatively recent
date he has exerted much public influence
which has been increased by the fact that he
was ten years ago on commission appointed
in England to investigate the troublesome
question of the vice of great cities.
He has preached before cultured audiences
in the old world, as well as to the rough
pioneers in the mining towns of the Rocky
mountains, and his utterances as well as his
writings have been in the line of progress and
liberality, well-seasoned with practical COM
mon sense. DIR. Freeman has written this paper
letter which will be read with much interest.
He says:-
Some five years since found that deep
study and excessive literary work in addition
to my ordinary ministerial duties, were under
mining my health. l detected that 1 was
unable to understand things as clearly as
usually did; that after but little thought and
study suffered from a dull pain in the head
and great WEAKNESS, and all thought and study
became O trouble to me. l lost appetite, did
not relish ordinary food, after eating suffering
acute pains in the chest and back. There was
sourness of the stomach, and the most of my
food seemed to turn to sour water, with most
sickly and suffocating feeling in vomiting up
such sour water
At this time 1 consulted several physicians
One said l was run down, another said had
chronic indigestion; but this / do know that
with all the prescriptions which they gave me
/ was not improving; for in addition, had
pains in the regions of the kidneys, very
sluggish liver, so much so that was very
much like yellow man, was depressed in

daily becoming worse and felt that should
soon become a confirmed invalid if did not

the advice of physicians most severely, but
with all l was completely unable to do my
ministerial duty, and all I could possibly do
was to rest and try to be thankful. After

rest from all mental work. In fact, was

An owosso Minister on Local Option


Last Sunday evening Rev. j. @. Cromer,
pastor OF the First Congregational church
of Owosso, spoke from his pulpit in favor of
the local option law. His attitude towards
this law is that of an ardent supporter
backed by logical arguments. He had
spoken in the city hall last fall at the ncep-
ton of this agitation, he said, and his att-
tude was unchanged. He believes that vic
tory is in sight and that 1t will only be a
question of how large a majority local OPP
ton will receive. People ought to favor a
law which in its very first sentence declares
hquor-selling crime. If the law were
passed and not enforced there would be no
more liquor sold than now because there
could not be. The supply is greater than
the demand now. Some good people feared
the dives that might be opened. The open
saloon is worse enemy of society than the
hidden dive. Children ought to be allowed
to live without passing an open saloon on
the street. Local option was better than
third partyism because good citizens of all
parties could vote together. That man de-
serves the heaviest of censure and the most
cutting ridicule who tries to vent his sar-
casm upon man who does anything be-
cause he believes that it is right. If the law
does not carry or il it is passed and then
repealed because of non. enforcement the
mere agitation of the temperance question
would be worth far more than the expense
of the election. Ministers had gotten tired
of preaching temperance sermons because
there had been no occasion, but now that
there is an occasion they are glad to array
themselves on the side of right. Agitation
is preferable to stagnation. There are good
citizens who fear that the law could not be
enforced. There is, however, spirit of
local pride and it is not likely that sixteen
saloon men, although backed by money, can
overthrow the authority of the city. Men
who feared the idea of enforcing such law
reminded the pastor of deserter running
away from the first battle of Bull Run. He
was called a baby and boo-hoong like a
child said: IL wish l was baby and gal
baby at that
The forces of business, religion, educa-
ton and society are arrayed against the
saloon. Men will vote for local option be-
cause it is right, and is a step towards that
prevention of the ruin. of boys which it is
hoped will extend over our entire land.
Pastor Cromer's words bore the stamp of
fearless sincerity and his bearing in the pull
pit marks him as an earnest, scholarly and
eloquent Christian worker. His pastorate
is bearing fruit in the increased activity of
his church and the attractiveness of its
services.
