DEERING.

Plans are being matured for second
course of entertainments to be given in the
Woodford's Congregational church next
season. This course is to be as carefully
arranged and even more. elaborate than
that so successfullyYgiven last year.
An entertainment was given in the
Westbrook seminary Wednesday evening,
the proceeds to defray the expenses of the
ball team. The violin solo by Mr.. Doten
and the reading by Mr.. Vail deserve
especial mention.

A Prominent western newspaper re-
commends flax seed tea as an excellent
remedy for whooping cough. 1t may be
good but it is not to be compared with
Chamberland's Cough Remedy. This
preparation will allay the violent fits of
coughing and make them less frequent
and less severe. 1t also liquefies the
tough mucus, making it easier to expec-
torate. Complete recovery is much
quicker, too, when the remedy is given.

DExTER's MYSTERIOUS MAIDEN.
She Goes Fishing Evenings and the People
Wonder Thereat.

Dexter has a mystery and it is not a
ghost, the fancy of some brain that sees
a thousand things day and night that
were never created This mystery is in
the shape of a fishing girl, a girl who
really fishes with hook and line and
strings her fish on stick just like a
fisherman would. Who this mysterious
fisher is no one has yet discovered.
Whether she be some demented creature
who finds solace in the ripples of the
water for her fevered brain, or whether
it be one of the very bellies of the town, no
one has yet learned. It is perhaps an in
justice to suggest that the person may be
"off, when many of our best citizens not
only fish in their own waters but FIRE
quently take excursions far into the lake
regions to drop line into the crystal
nectar.
About Z. 80 o'clock in the evening is
the earliest hour that this girl with fish
pole has been seen. From whence she
| comes she only knows, for when seen is
always sitting on the bank fishing. Her
| movements are very few, taking the line
lEOlu Inc waiter occasionally TO see II Une
hook is still properly baited, but when a
| fish bites she exerts strength enough to
land twenty pound cod.
She has never been seen to arise the
writer is informed by several fishermen
who have studied her movements When
fish is landed she gracefully raises him
with her line from the ground where he
has fallen, the fish swinging to her. She
takes the membe of the finny tribe from
the hook and puts him on the stringer as
dextrously as any school boy could do it.
docs she bait her hook with angle
worns?' The writer asked. OF course
no one is able to tell in the darkness
but as near as any one can tell she carries
a bait box and puts the squirmy things
on the hook just like a man.
This strange fisher character will be
found scarcely twice in the same place
one night she will be reported from the
bank of the lake in some out of the way
place where the fish are sure to bite, anc
then again some one will see her fishing
in the stream below the main part of the
town.-Eastern Gazette.

70 the Editor of the Press:

The real friends of the Protestant Epis-
copal church are indebted to you for your
timely publication of Rev. Mr.. Papi-
neaus protest against the circulation of
the common English version of the Scrip
lures. That as a clergyman of church
which calls itself Protestant, he stulti-
f1es himself will clearly appear from the
following account of the Episcopal orr
gin of the Book about which he is so
scornful and to whose circulation among
his people he is opposed. The accuracy of
the account is indisputable.

WANT TO CLOSE JULY 4.
Retail Clerks Discuss That and other
Questions.


The Retail Clerks Association met last
night of knights of Pythias hall The
meeting was well attended and was pre-
sided over by the president, Mr.. H. A.
Dumas
The primary object of the meeting was
70 discover the sentiment of the associa-
tion regarding the stores closing next
Monday, July ;. in observance of the
Fourth of July. which falls on Sunday
The ideas of the clerks were soon forth
coming and were unreservedly stated as
favoring the stores closing in observance
Of the national holiday.
The clerks viii endeavor to get the mer-
chants TO close their places of business
on Monday, and a committee of three was
appointed 10 canvass and ascertain the
number that will agree to close. The dry
goods, clothing and shoe merchants will
be asked to close. Several of these have
already notified the association of their
willingness to observe the Fourth by clos,
ing on Monday, and their examples may
be followed by others.
Another committee was appointed to
confer with the aldermen to try to induce
them to pass an ordinance to close the
market at 10 o'clock on Saturday
nights. As it is, the mar
ket usually remains open till
midnight and this fact causes many stores
that sell the same articles are found at
the market to keep open much later than
they otherwise would. This is recognized
by the clerks and they will make the eff
fort to have the market closed earlier on
Saturday night. Not only are the market
clerks. number of whom belong to the
association, kept up late by the market
remaining open, but those of the stores
that are IN the same line as those that
sell at the market are also kept at their
places of business. The association thinks
all the market purchasers could be made
by 10 O'Clock, If the people found that it
would be closed at that time. Principally
the laboring classes patronize the market
on Saturday nights and 1t is believed that
it would cause them no Inconvenience If
the market were closed at 10. In other
cities this is done and the plan seems TO
work very well. AS long as the market
remains open competitors of those that
have stalls there do not feel warranted in
closing their stores. To do so, would throw
a great deal of their trade to the mar.
ket These merchants would like to close
earlier, but say they cannot do so on ac-
count of the market keeping open. The
clerks are talking of giving a bah soon.
If they decide to do so the affair will be
on big scale, and no pains will be spared
to make II a great success.
An idea that has many friends in the as
ISOLATION Is said to be rapidly acquiring
others. This is the establishment of
sick benefit fund. The originators of the
idea are confident that its adoption would
be a great advantage to the associat alton.
They think that the matter will soon
come before The association for considera-
ton.

ICE DEALERS NABOBs NOW.
HOusekeepers Had Another Hard
Day of 1t.

A general cry Of "Give us Ice went up
over the whole city yesterday. The ice
famine was not confined to the southern
section, though the people there were the
chief sufferers. Even in the northern
part Of the city, where the people are in
easy reach Of the ice wagons, there were
many who did without ice or who secured
1t under difficulties.
All who did not have a distinct and def
mite arrangement with the ice companies
for regular supplies of ice, were left ice
less, as well as many who did have con-
tract. The appeals of housekeepers were
treated with cold contempt by the drivers
of the ice wagons, who went on their way
unmindful of the maledictions cast upon
their heads. Where does an iceman ex-
pect to go to anyway. Perhaps their ia
miliarity with cold deals on this sphere
inclines them TO look with favor upon the
prospects of a warm corner in the next.
Many people who could not secure ice
from the delivery wagons managed to do
so from the street peddlers.
The lee business is now quite an item
with the street wagoners. The latter Sc
cure ice in this manner. The corner gro
cerymen, who deal with the breweries re-
ceive ticket emitting them to 100 pounds
of ice with each keg of beer purchased
at the brewery. The average grocer and
small barkeeper gets a good deal more ice
in this way than he has any use for. so
he gets it hauled for nothing by making
a deal with some owner of street wagon,
who takes the tickets and pays the small
amount required to secure the ice. Hav-
ing delivered the grocer his share, the
wagner peddles out the rest of the Ice
AS he carries no scales and measures by
the eye, he manages to make a little ice
go a long ways. People who cannot get
ice otherwise are glad to pay him double
prices, and so the wagner has a good
thing as long as he can get the ice. The
ice companies and the breweries are shy
of the street peddlers, however, and shut
them off wherever they can.
With little let-up in the hot spell, the
ice companies will probably be able to sup
ply the demand. The Savannah Brewing
Company got its plant in shape again
yesterday, and will probably turn out its
usual output of fifty tons to-day.

NOT so HOT AS PEOPLE THOUGHT.
Mercury Failed to Get Higher Than
Oh Degrees.


The weather yesterday was not hot, as
the thermometer goes, but what heat there
was made itself felt A good many people
thought it was the hottest day of the
season, but it wasn't. The highest that
mercury went was 80 degrees, and the
average for the day was SO degrees. That,
however. is five degrees above the aver
age, or the day since the weather bureau
was established. June is, so far, 65 de-
grees ahead in temperature and a large
part of that excess has been accumulat-
ed in the last ten or twelve days. The
unusual amount of humidity in the atmo-
sphere made the heat yesterday more Sc
verely felt than it otherwise would have
been.
Between 10 and o'clock was seemingly
the hottest part Of the day. The maxi
mum of SO degrees was reached at 2
O'Clock. During the middle of the day
few people who were not compelled to
be out of doors came out. All outdoor
work progressed slowly. There was COM
paratively little work done on the wharves
and along the river. The heat was so in
tense that it was dangerous to work in
the more exposed places.
The showers, which came up late in the
afternoon, cooled off the atmosphere
greatly and last night was an exceeding
ly comfortable one. The temperature at
8 o'clock was so degrees. The heart of
the hot weather last night was Mont
gomery, Ala, where it was 9S degrees.
1t is considerably cooler in the west and
the cool wave may reach this section.

The regret and sorrow following upon
the announcement of the death of Mr..
Screven was widespread yesterday.
The following preamble and resolutions
were adopted at a meeting of the park and
tree commission yesterday:

suddenly called from earth the spirit of
George p. Screven. and
Whereas, the late intimate association

confidence of his native community.

dolence to his afflicted family, with the as

EATS GLASS AND TACKS.
An Australian who Feeds on These
IndiEcstibIes.

Joe Sims, who says he is a descendant
of the Australian aboriginees, will give
an exhibition at st. Phillips colored
church Thursday night of the mysterious
talent he possesses in being able to chew
glass and carpet tacks, which he swaI-
lows with a relish.
Sims says he has letters from many en-
inent people in the world over to testify
TO his wonderful ability and among them
is one from President Mckinley. which.
being testimonial to his musical ability.
shows that Sims talents are highly versa
tile, ranging from glass eating to piano
playing, and that the President is a mu-
steal critic.
The Australian will also treat his au-
dience to one or two of his most select
recitations.
