One of the surest tests of the health

Not only is there a decided gain in tn e
general health from the use of Paine's
celery compound, but such disorders as
sick headaches, rheumatism, neuralgia,
kidney disease and nervous debility in

schooner made fairly good progress under
the circumstances. Scarcely had the crew
recovered from the effects of this blow
when the storm of the 18th struck the
vessel and again she was swept by terrific
seas. When the weather moderated Capt
Coombs decided to put in here for repairs
and it was estimated today that $1,000
would be necessary to put the vessel in
condition to continue her voyage.

BARLEY EXPERIMENT A SUCCESS.

Boston, November 16.-A special to the
Herald from Augusta, says: State Land
Agent Charles E. Oak of Caribou, who
was chiefly instrumental in having the
Aroostook farmers try the experiment Of
raising barley from which malt is made,
is much pleased with the results this year.
He said today that last spring car load
of seed was sown by the farmers who
wihsed to try the experiment., and that
about 10000 bushels of excellent quality
had been raised. OF this quantity three
carloads have already been sold at rate
of 45 cents bushel The average yield
from an acre will probably be about 40 or
80 bushels, which will give the farmer q
fair return for time and labor and in
vestment, and the crop will have the add
ed advantage of being one which can be
at once converted into money.

BETHEL.
THE SHOP OFTaE BETHEL HAT FORMING
CO., BURNED.

TIE SHOP OF THE BETHEL HAT FORMING
CO., BURNED.
The. Bethel Hat Forming Co.'s factory
on Center street was nearly consumed by
fire on Tue sday afternoon,ab about o'clock.
The building was three stories high and
used for forming fur hat bodies. The
top story or garrett was used for prepar-
ing the stock, picking and mixing the
different varieties together. The picker
runs at high rate of spaed and has been
known to catch fire from friction in the
machine. Probably this was the origin
of the fire on Tuesday. few pals of
water was always kept handy to ex
ttnguish the flames should anything of
the kind happen while the work is going
on. The workman was either incompe
tent, or out of the room at the time.
When discovered few pals of water
was of no avail. The alarm was given
and the engine stopped. 1t was soon evil
dent that the factory WAS doomed to de-
struction with all it's contents. Ms
Wiley's dwelling house on the west, not
20 feet, away was saved. On the east
was a machine and hat wire factory,
scorched but not badly damaged. At
one time the whole square appeared to
be in imminent danger of being destroy
ed. Burning shingles drifted away
toward the northeast dropping in every
direction. There was very little wind
string at the time which was very for
tunate for that part of the borough
Several streams of water were soon doing
effective work, under the direction of
Chief A. It. Noxon and his able assist
ants. The firemen worked manfully and
did their duty we'll, thereby saving much
property adjoining. At one time the

ed so high above those adjoining that it
seemed as if their. destruction was almost
sure. The factory has been unusually
busy the past season. Workmep have
worked overtime part of the season TO
keep up with the orders. Men and boys
and few girls have been employed
pretty steadily through the trade and
have made good wages and they will
probably be the greatest losers by the .
fire. The building was insured for about
$4,000; machinery about s. 900; So, 600
on stock. The joint stock company will
soon meet to decide on rebuilding. Four
factories were depending on
this factory for their hat
bodies. The old forming factory was
built about 1866 and has been one of the
most prosperous firms in the town.

c. +. Osborne made flying trip to
Boston on Wednesday, October 6, and
visited the works Of the Smith Organ
Co., and the Merrill Piano Co., instru-
ments for which Mr. Osborne is agent.
Mr. Osborne has been agent for the Smith
Organ Co. for Is years or more, but new
er before has had the pleasure of meet
ing the representative men of the firm.
He Is more than ever convinced that both
of these instruments are of the best on
the market, and to a reporter of THE
BEE he spoke in most gratifying terms of
his trip to the Hub City and what he
learned about musical instruments. He
went partly to select one of the pianos
for Mr. and Mrs Arthur j. Smith, of New
town, and they are more than pleased
with the instrument, it beng possessed
of even more excellencies in musical tone
and richness of case finish, being a beau
tiful shade Of mahogany, than they had
anticipated and they are enthusiastic in
their recommendation of Mr. Osborne and
the Merrill piano. Mr. Osborne also Wis
tied the New England Conservatory of
Music, where pianos of all kinds are used
and found that there the Merrill was as
highly thought Of as any piano manufac-
tured to-day. His impressions of the
Conservatory of Music were very graft
flying, he not having expected to find so
much of an institution. Wherever he
has placed either the organ or the piano
he represents, they have given excellent
satisfaction, and his enthusiasm for their
good qualities has grown quite bit
since his visit to Boston.

Hints On Mems Dress.
CHANGES OF STYLES BROUGHT BY AU-
TUMN AS SEEN AT MEIG's CORNER.

Happening into the busy mart of trade
in gents furnishings at the corner in
Brdgepo occupied by Meigs & Co , a
reporter glant ed over the big piles of
clothing in search of the genial manager
of the store, Mr. Bell. Replying to an IL
quiry as to what the fell styles were.
Mr. Bell remarked:
"Stripes, checks and plaids furnish the
patterns for fall suits. The stripe fleets
are especially sought by men who are
ever on the lookout for something new
in dress. The black flushed worsteds
with fine white stripes makes handsome
suit, and on short men has the effect of
making them appear tall, while stout
men seem not so stout. Stripes come
also in rough eheviots, in which the eff
feet is not quite so pronounced. Browns
predominant in the plaids-handsome
fabrics, while checks retain their hold
upon good many men. The four-but-
ton single-breasted sack is the favorite
sacks have three buttons and are decided
ly swsgger. No doubt they will be
much more popular than the past year.
"Any change in the styles for dress
occasions?' asked the reporter.
YES" was the reply, "there are
slight changes. For instance, the skirt
of the frock coat reaches just above the
knees, being a little shorter than last
seasons; three buttons will be used as
last year. Clay wors' eds, cheviots and
vicunas are the fabrics used. For half
dress the cutaway is always the favoIite.
Pronounced patterns will be worn in
trousers with frock and cutaway coats"
"What about overcoats r. continued
the reporter, bent upon learning all about
proper dress for men.
"You may take your choice of either
double breasted or hy-front garments
and still be in STYLE" replied Mr. Bell.
"Top coats are trife shorter this sea-
son. Covert cloth, rough goods and
mixtures are coming in once again. OF
course, the sale of these will be limited
to the advanced dressers."
care prices higher this seasongn
NO." was the reply; 1--WE bought our
fall and winter goods before the tariff
went into effaet, and the old low prices
still prevail. Why, think of it: We sell
an all-wool suit for 81 90; suit that
would have cost $40 not so very long
seo. The average price foe business
suit is SIS, at which figure we sell suit
actually as good all through as the tail
or's $50 suit
That the store is appreciated is easily
seen in the wonderful and increasing
patronage bestowed upon ir. Just now
it is at its brightest with all the newest
and freshest things for fall wear at
hand.
