The 1'itania, built by Russell d Co,
Port Glasgow towards the close of the
year to the order of Capt James Fairlie,
OF Il Waterloo street, Glasgow, is some
what of novelty in sailing vessels. Her
dimensions are Length, 2l0 feet; beam,
b feet 6 inches; depth of hold, 10 feet 6
inches; net register l031 tons; and dead
weight carrying capacity, about 1,S00
tons. The rig is that of a four maSted
barquentine, with notifications, and the
vessel might be appropriately called a
barquette. On the foremost she carries a
full spread of square canvas, while on
the other three masts the principal sails
are fore and ALTERS. 1t has been found
from experience that on a vessel of this
size the usual style of fore and alters
that is, with gaffs spreading the heads of
the lower sails-caused large amount of
wear and tear, as in a seaway it was i'm
possible to control the gatfs and prevent
them fl ON swinging about, thereby bring
ing a great strain on the after leeches of
the sails To obviate this, Capt. Farlie has
introdu ced and patented a new style of
rig, which will be used on the Titania. On
the main and mizzen- masts the lower
fore and alters, instead of having the
usual heavy gatfs, are almost jib- headed,
having only short spreaders on the heads.
These sails hoist to the crosstrees, and
are fitted with patent roller hanks, also
an idea of Captain Farlie's, and when
tried were found to work without the
least friction. Above these gait topsail
is set, extending from the topmast head,
and spread by a boom fixed on the lower
mast head To make up for the shortage
of canvas caused by the gatfs being done
away with, there is a backyard slung un-
der the crosstrees on the mizzen and
jigger masts. On each of these are set
two triangular sails. The inner leech of
the lower one travels up and down
a wire jackstay on the fore part of
the mast, the outer clew being attached
by specially fitted swivel hank to a
wire jackstay, stretched from yard
arm to yardarm, SO that the sail can be
easily hauled out to which may, for the
time being, be the weather yardarm The
upper sail travels on wire jackstay from
the crosstrees to the masthead, and also
hauls out to which may happen to be the
weather yardarm. The working of these
sails was thoroughly tested after they were
bent, and proved highly satisfactory. The
Titana is also fitted with a deep water
ballast tank situated amidships, ard cap
able of holding 500 tons of water with
which amount she can go anywhere under
sail. This compartment is so constructed
as to be suitable for carrying any kind of
cargo The vessel has also on board a
donkey engine, by which the ballast tank
can be either filled OF emptied, and which
is also available for lifting the anchor,
discharging cargo, hoisting sails, or warp
ing the ship about. London Engineering.

The Mackerel Fish cry.

The report of the inspector general of
fish shows a great falling off of the
mackerel catch for 1895.
The total inspection for the year in
Massachusetts was 3s, TAT, as against 81, 7Os
in 1894. Boston inspected 1928 and
Gloucester 20, 1852.
The number of barrels of other picked
fish inspected was "a, O19, against 20, ITO
last year. There were %, 457 boxes of
smoked fish inspected.
Whether the mackerel have gone east or
gone out of existence it is evident that they
are decreasing in our waters year by year
1t is not only misfortune for the fisher
men, but for consumers of one of the
best food fish that inhabits the seas.
But there are still as good fish in the
sea as ever were caught, and it being leap
year there may be a much heavier catch
for 1896. Boston Globe.

should pay it's obligations directly in cash
instead of using checks as at present.
This is the construction put upon it by
Populst leaders, and without the banks
it would be necessary to resort to that
method of paying our national bills. /
have never been able to see in what manner
this could benefit the people, or in what
way it would work to the advantage of
the general government. Neither have
seen any Peoples party man who could
give reasonable reason why this should
become the policy of our government.
There are many reasons why it would be
inconvenient for this nation to pay its
public obligations directly wit h cash; but
as those reasons would lead into a dis
cussion of the National Bank question,
which is not my purpose, | refrain from
giving them On the other hand, direct
cash payment would not be any advantage
to the man receiving the same.
Suppose that you are pensioner, and are
receiving twelve dollars per month from
the government. How much better off
would you be on the day you drew your
quarterly stipend, if you received thirty
six dollars in cash than you now are when
you get your check for that amount?-a
check which is worth its face value in any
part of this country. Why, then, should
this demand be made? What possible
good could it ever do you or me in practi-
cal life? The man who would mistake chaff
for wheat may be caught by this part of
the platform, but, to the clear headed
man of reason, it has no meaning.
Thus, have shown that there is nothing
but meaningless words in the first plank
of the Populist platform. The second
and third planks are not the exclusive
property of the party; and at the present
time can hardly be claimed as distinctly
feature of any party. The Populists Dor
rowed them from the Prohibitionists, but
members of all parties are more or less
in favor of the measures which they de-
mand. Good Republicans and good
Democrats have said that they believed in
free silver coinage and in an increase of
the per capita circulation. To discuss
these would be to discuss factional party
questions, which is not my object
The fourth plank demands an income
tax. That has been settled for the pres
ent. An income tax will not be posi-
BILE without a new constitution or a new
supreme court to interpret the present
one. My next paper will be about the

At the annual meeting of the Penobscot
log driving company in Bangor Feb. 18th,
an estimate was submitted of the lumber
cut of the winter on Penobscot waters. In
spite of the lack of snow the cut will ex-
coed that of last season and reach fully
90, 900, 600 feet. John Ross is the heaviest
operator, and expects to have 5000, 600
feet bearing his mark come down the Pc

ing 200 men and nearly 100 horses. With
the exception of few scattering millions
the entire winters work will be confined

A healthier heartier, happier man than
John j NELL of 2437 North Eighth street,

constant wonder to his friends.
In the fall of 1889 he began to suffer indie

Consulting an eminent physician in Phila-

was necessary. So much did he dread the

Presidential Electors Must ali be Chos=

REPUBLI, AN STATE COMMITTEE.
AUGUSTA, NE. Jan. Is, 1896.

To the Republicans of Maine: Prior to 1892
two Presidential electors at large. corresponding
TO the two United States Senators, were nonl-
mated in State convention, and the remaining
electors correspondil to the members of the
United States House of Representatives, were
nominated by the several congressional district
conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot law en-
tire1y changed the procedure Under the law,
an conventions are portion of our election sys-
TEN and this ballot CT requires that candidates
ia be voted for by the voters throughout the whole
State mnst he placed in nomination by a conVen-
tion representing no less a constituency than the
whole State. Hence al the candidates of party
for Presidential electors must be nominated in
Srate Convention, and | have therefore included
in the call six electors.

ITS SUSPENSION ONLY TEMPORARY.
Bath S shoe factory, which was the prod

been in operation but a few months, has
stopped business for lack of capital. 1t
will probably be the old story an assess
ment of the stockholders which no one
expects will be paid, and then the leading
stockholders and financiers of the concern
will come into possession of finely
equipped and modern shoe factory with
out its costing them much, and business
will be reopened. Well, the stockholders
perhaps, as a whole, never expected to
realize any direct returns from this in

Enlistment of new industry that would

The City Item publishes the
astounding information that the
drouth has completely ruined the
crops in Grant parish, and says
that there will not be enough corn
grown to feed the people until
Christmas. This is an exaggera-
ton of the conditions in Grant
parish, which are bad enough with
out exaggeration. In the:hill re-
gions our people have suffered
greatly by the drouth, and in few
cases will make little or no corn
and very little cotton. The aver
age corn crop. in the hills will be
six to ten bushels to the acre, and
our hill farmers will make less than
one third a crop of cotton. In our
bottom lands the people will fare
much better, as they will make full
ly a half crop of corn, and do fair
ly we'll with their cotton.
