ATERRIBLE FALL.
Charles Rowe Dashed Into an Elevator
Well.

Mr.. Charles Rowe, young man en-
ployed by the King Manufacturing COM
pany on Middle street had miraculous
escape from fatal accident about 6
O'Clock Saturday night. Mr.. Rowe went
up to the second story of the building
on the elevator after some goods. He
locked the elevator and went to the fur
ther end of the room for large basket.
In the meantime some one had stepped
on the elevator and gone down to tho
basement, without saying word to Mr..
Rowe.
Mr.. Rowe caught hold Of one end of
the basket, and dragged it along towards
the elevator. without looking around,
surprising of course, that it was there.
as:he had locked it and left.it barely long
enough to go to the other end of the
room. He stepped over the edge and be-
fore he oonld recover himself, fell to the
bottom of the elevator well.
Some of the employees. who heard him.
Immediately ran to the basement. sxpeot.
ing to find him dead, or at least badly
injured. A physician was tslephonsd for
and In the meantime everything possible
was done for the young man. Upon the
arrival of the Doctor an examination was
made, and strange to say, although the
young man had sustained bad bruise
on the right hip, where be had evidently
struck In his descent, no bones were
broken.
MIR. Rowe was taken to his boarding
place at Dyer's Lane, and the physi-
oian said he had received severe shook
to his nervous system, and he could not
tell ct the time how seriously he was
affected.
Mr.. King, member of the firm, was
with Mr.. Rowe when the reporter called
and said the young man had been warn
ed about the elevator only short time
before the accident as other parties in the
building alsos.had the use of it, and acoi-
dents were liable to OCCUR IL due canton

The Warren Electric Plant at Presumpscot
Lower Falls Started Up.

Last Thursday the power plant of D.
S. Warren & Co., at Smelt Hill was
started up for the first time. This plant
was built some six years ago when the
dam at the lower falls of the Presump-
scot was constructed.
The plant is arranged for 12 large
turbine wheels. It has lain idle all this
time, but recently the company has Sc
cured right of way on the bank of
the Presmpscot to Westbrook and has run
a line of heavy copper wires whereon
to convey the power from the new
plant up to the big paper mills. The
distance is some or miles. The reason
that this power has at last been trans
ferred up the river and put into use. is
because Of the lack Of water at times to
furnish sufficient power at the paper
mills.
They are new using only two of the
turbine wheels at the Smelt Hill plant,
but next week will use four Of them.

WHAT TT MEANS.

If the United States senate will also pass the postal bill that went so easily through the house last week it is safe to assume that the president will sign it. The proposed new law is for the benefit of those least likely to learn of it's adoption.
 It provides that on petition of twenty people who get their mail at any office the postmaster there shall appoint a mail carrier who will deliver the mail through that region. The only differ ence between this and the free deliv- cry in cities is that, in this case, the people who are served have them selves to pay the carrier, and, of course, his rounds are once a day in-

OBSERVATIONS.

The less hair woman has the more time it takes her to do it up.
 The most curious thing in the world is woman who is not curious
 It's hard for man to keep still, but for woman it's simply impossible
 The friends of woman are invari- ably less prepossessing than herself.
 Time cannot heal woman's grief if the grief happens to be a wrinkle
 Some handsome women are in reality not as handsome as they are painted
 An echo is the only thing that can flim-f1am woman out of the last word.
 Trust not woman's tears; it is her nature to weep when she wants her way
 Many man who claims to be look ing for work wouldn't recognize a job if it stepped up and tapped him on the shoulder
 No matter how poor a man is, there may have been time when he rode in his own carriage while his mother pushed it along. A man never becomes thoroughly depraved and beyond the hope of re- demption, until he begins to make eX- cuses for attending circus.

AS TO TURKEY.

The report of an agreement between France, Russia and Germany as to Turkey appears to be merely the sum of a series of rumors that have been sifted through the European press for a month. It is probably true as to it's main points. The occupation by Rus |sia of long strip of valuable strategic territory and the abrogation of the agreement of Paris closing the Darda- nelles are both in line with the policy in which the foreign offices of Europe have been moving
 The indisposition of Austria to consent to the movement was no more than might be expected. After Tur- key, Austria will be the most serious sufferer from the Russian advance out Filmed in the report. The new alliance following upon the Bismarck dis closures, will severely shake Austrian allegiance to the dreibund Some of the ''prejudices of an antiquated di-
 plomacy' must survive in Vienna, and
 it would not be strange if one of them should take the form of distrust of an
 alliance in which all are for one, but
 that one is not for all The under
 standing between Germany and Aus
 tria did not prevent the German en-
 peror from making a back door treaty
 with Russia, and now apparently ii
 has not prevented the long-feared
 menace of Russian control of the Bos- lphorus from taking definite shape
 In any case a determined effort b4 the powers to reform Turkey is de
 voutly to be wished, and no one in this Latitude would regret if Abdul Hamid's
 insane perversity should compel the mooring of warships within gunshot O Yildiz Kiosk. It may De that the pow ) CTS are on the threshold of a movemen

Alaska receives some attention in the annual report of Governor Sneak ley, which has just been submitted to the secretary of the interior It is learned from this document that the mail service has been extended to the Yukon mining region, but the service has been unsatisfactory, while that to the western part of Alaska, in charge of the Alaskan Commercial company has been prompt and efficient. Gold to the amount of $2,230,OOO was taken from the mines of Alaska during the year ended October 1, the greater part of which was from low grade ores yielding as little as $4 ton. Natur- ally, the topic of sealing is touched upon, the governor declaring that the
 question of the preservation of the fur seal herds of the Pribilof and other | islands is one that concerns not alone | the persons, or even the nations in-
 terested, but the whole civilized
 world"

THE ARID LAND QUESTION.

The sessions of the irrigation con- gress thus far have been devoted to the reading of papers on the general sub ject of irrigation. Today the con- gross is expected to take some action looking to the general advancement of the irrigation idea. There is, we find, considerable difference of opin- ion as to the best course to pursue to interest the government in the sub ject. Some of the delegates favor the organization of an irrigation commits sion with power to supervise irriga- tion projects and report to congress. Others favor the ceding by the general government to the different states of the arid lands contained in them. We incline to the opinion that if the states were to be given control of the arid lands within their borders they would soon find way to settle the irrigation problem. The people would then have the matter entirely in their control. It is not reasonable to sup l pose that the people of Oregon or Washington would favor axproposition to build government storage reser- voirs in Utah or Arizona. They might not be opposed to the plan on general principles, but self interest would i'm 1 pei them to urge the construction ot the reservoirs in their own particular regions. The element of human self ishness would to large extent be eliminated from the irrigation problem through the relinquishment by the general government of it's lands in the arid belt. This ele. ment, it must be conceded, is weighty. It would, of course, crop out in connection with purely state pro- jects for the conservation of water, but it could be handled with much greater ease than under existing conditions
 A commission would be a time con
 sumer first of all, and there would bt no guaranty of the adoption of it: recommendations. A declaration by the irrigation congress in favor of tht cession of the arid lands to the state:
 would in all probability be of, more
 benefit to the irrigation movement a this time than any other.
