awaited Bryan at the fair grounds, and
from the stand erected in the center OF

to an audience that numbered up into

A Long Life of Usefulness.

Mrs Mercy Thorndike of Simonton's or
ner was % years Old Oct 10Th. In 1904 her
father was drowned in Taconic Falls, and
the shock crazed her mother who died at
the age of 92, never having fully recovered
her reason. Mrs. Thorndike has moved 81
times during her life and has been a resi-
dent of Wiscasset, Alma, Nina Village, Hat
lowell, Palermo, Augusta, Dixmont, Pitts
field, Camden Village and Simonton's Cor
ner. Her first husband was David Farm
ham, whom she married when she was Is
years old. With family of ID children,
three of whom were Farnham's by former
wife, the couple experienced many hard
ships. Farnham died in 1850, and tive or
six years later Mercy welded Capt. Robert
Thorndike of Camden, who was then 81
years old and had been married three times.
Mrs. Thorndike's surviving children are
Alden B. Farnham of Bangor, Mrs. S. f.
Young of Wellesley, Mass; Mrs. Mary A.
Wentworth and Mrs. J. B. Wentworth of
Rockport. The last heard of N. 7. Farm

rowed their ways from remote ancestors.
For them, there is absolutely nothing be-
yond their few miles of valley, the walls
of which are SO high that the sun is not
fairly risen before noon, and begins to
set about 3 p. nj. During the few hours
of daylight, a moderate sleepy activity
prevails in Sete Cidades; but between sun
set and sunrise, silence reigns supreme.
The village homes are mostly smoke be-
grimmed huts, each attached to huge
wide chimney nearly as big as the house
itself, and spreading out at the bottom
into a broad, spacious oven with round
ing top. The parlor door is approached
through the piggery, in which several
lean, black porkers loudly protest agai nst
their scarcity of rations, and the streets
are mere dirty lanes, Astounding in ours
and begging children. Out in the yam
fields stands quaint little church, sur
mounted by Moorish dome. There is a
rudely carved altar inside, but no seats,
the worshippers kneeling upon the pine
boughs with which the floor is strewn.
The two deep lakes, which leave scant
room for the village between their shores
and the base of the mountain walls, are
the charm of the place. Though set so
far above the level of the sea, they have
a regular ebb and flow like the waters of
the ocean; and both lakes retain their re-
spective hues of deep green and beautiful
sky blue, though they flow into each other
through a narrow connecting channel.
Even at bright MONDAY the stars are re-
fected in their tranquil bosoms, so we'll
like is the deep valley in which they are
hidden. Gales of wind, which tear up
great trees by the roots on the surround
hills, do not rutfie their surface. Gold
and silver fish dispolJ themselves in the
deeper waters and in the shallow wo men
are eternally washing, standing knee-deep,
with their clothes tucked up in huge
bundles around the hips. A large portion
of the valley is occupied by the private es-
tate of wealthy citizen Of Ponta Delgad a.
1t comprises an empty house, an orange
orchard, a fir plantation for the making
of boxes in which to ship the fruit, 5 ONE
artificial ponds, extensive walks amid or
namental shrubbery and a break water on
the margin of the lake.

Church Entertainments.

Female Minstrel Shows have been this
year the most popular of church entertain
ments IN Massachusetts. These interesting
religious events have exerted their enlight-

great ability, and with the keenest apprecia-

When The New Year Comes
When January breezes blow,

When January breezes blow,
The New Year comes across the snow,
So pure and young, so straight and slender,
His eyes alight, his cheeks aglow;
And round him, shifting to and fro,
The whitened world of drifted splendor.
Within the yard the children play,
Attacking in a cruel way
tall snow man, who stares about him,
And, smiling coldly, seems o say
No icy cannonading may
Suffice ingIoriously to rout him.
The frozen pond is smooth and wide;
The skaters swing from side to side,
And little boys, pursuing after,
Arrayed in furs and filled with pride,
Upon the CLASSY surface slide,
And fail in heaps with shouts Of laughter.
Within the house the fire glows,
And ruddy apples, ranged in rows
Before the blaze, are blithely peeling.
The sun to bed discreety goes,
And then the doors of daylight close,
And clear and cold the night comes steal

WHAT TO DO WITH JAMESON.

President Kruger is either a Diplomat or
a humorist, or both. That is shown cler-
ly in his decision to turn Dr.. Jameson
over to the British government for trial
and punishment. From a political poin.
Of view nothing could have been more
shrewd. Had he kept the bold knight-er-
rant at Pretoria and dealt with him
himself, there would surely have been
trouble. Pardon or light sentence would
have enraged the Beers and endangered
Dom Pauls" authority. while capital
punishment would have caused the open
revolt of every outlander and brought
an irresistible tide of British vengeance
ever the border from the Cape Ry Civ
irg up his prisoner the Boer president
avoids both these horns Of the dilemma,
and at the same time with grim humor
impales the mated British upon them.
For it is perfectly evident that the Brit
ish will be more perplexed than the Beers
to determine what to do with him.
DR.. Jameson has been freely called a
idHh d anu ITEEDODitE.
It is easy to call names. But no British
court any more than any American
court can convict him of the crimes thus
implied. He did not commit piracy. Of
course, since he was on land and not on
the sea. Neither did he commit an act
equivalent thereto. For an essential ele-
ment Of piracy is that the perpetrator
is a person mot holding commission
from. or at the time pertaining to, any
established state" But Jameson did hold
such commission, so his act was not
equivalent to piracy. To continue the
naval parallel. his act was more like that
Of regularly commissioned ship Of war
which, exceeding Instructions, attacks the
ships Of a friendly power That is an Of /
fense, but under international law it is
not piracy. Moreover, plrates-or on
persons who form an organization for
purposes Of plunder, or with malicious
intent, but not for political purposes"
But IL is admitted by all that Jameson's
raid was not for plumber nor with ma
licIous intent. and most emphatlcally was
for public and political purposes. He en-
tered the Transyaal in response TO an ur-
gent appeal from some Of the Outlanders,
for the purpose-as he verify believed-of
protecting their lives and securing their
political rights. And as a matter Of
fact, thousands Of the outlanders were

In an interview In another column Mr.

suggestion which It IS to be hoped the

that the value of she new warrant issue

GOLD AND SILVER IN COLORADO


The figures published by the Rocky
Mountain News, OF Denver. showing the
production OF precious metals IN Colorado
for the past year. indicate that the sena-
tors FROM thai state. who are sim harp
ing upon silver. under the impression thar
that Is the leading interest OF Colorado
are as much behind the times as senators
often are in other matters.
In lSss, the year before the silver panic,
this impression was sound Colorado
produced in that year ssl.sSoeC worth OF
silver at its CON uiercial value and but
sSSsS.o2l Of gold. The energies Of she
state had ben mainly devoted 10 silver
mining and to efforts to sell the products
20 the government. and the rich deposits
OF gold had been comparatively neglected.
The repeal OF the Sherman law helped to
turn attention to the more precious metal
and the rapid development OF the Cripple
Creek region has already bur Colorado at
the head OF the gold-prodncing states.
The figures given by the Denver News
make the total metallic product for the
year $Sa4sS.osS. divided thus: Gold.
$lSeOs.coC; silver. si62SO zoo: lead. 2ssS.e2:
copper, $s7GO@ The actual product Of
silver IS about the same as in fSa but
it has less commercial value. Even at
the same rate, however its value would
be stiIl below that of the gold. in which
it is claimed that Colorado leads Cali I
fornia by three millions Of dollars.
The yield of the Cripple Creek mines
advanced month by month from s40O. .4+
in January to s.OOoOOO in December. and
It is believed that they will yield this
year NSoooooo in gold. the ore having /
richness undreamed OF even in South
Africa
What is still more important is that
along with all this wealth the general
manufacturing industries Of Colorado
have grown at an astonishing rate, the
value Of the product having increased
from less than thirty to more than forty
millions in a year and the amount paid
in wages at corresponding ratio, while
in purchasing power the amount OF
the wages was actually increased greatly
in proportion to the amour, of the actual
figures shown"
The News used to talk free silver pretty
loudly itself. but this is what it says
now:
Notwithstanding the predicted calam- .

TINE 70 RETIRE BAYARp.

y. Y. Herald.
The correspondence just sent To the
house shows that Mr. Cleveland has done
practically nothing m the Bayari ..a-ts.
and that the explanation which Mr.. Bay
ard offers Ioss not mitigate his oTcnse.
Mr. Rayard seems 70 assume that he
clears himself by explaining that his
Edinburgh spssch was delivered before
an institution purely literary and scien-
tifc wholly unconnected with political
parties" and before which addresses had
been delivered by two Of his predecessors
without the propriety thereof being called
In question. He oYerloOks entirely the
vital feet that the offense for which he
has been properly called 10 account was
not simply the delivery Of a public ad-
dress, but the utterance Of a dernagogicaI
harangue vilifying the country and people
whom he represented and discreditabIe
to an American ambassador speaking be-
fore IAN institution purely literary and
scientific"
No less unsatisfactory is Mr. Dayard's
explanation Of his offensive Boston
speech. In neither case does his excuses
excuse. His offense Is too fragrant to be
overlooked by the president or by the
house. II Mr.. Cleveland fails ot take
proper action. 1t is now high time that
Mr.. Bayard be recalled.
