sist In the Work.
Miss NJ. A. Greedy submits to THE
AMERICAN for pu blicstion the follow ing
correspondence, which fully explains it
self:
WEST ELLSWORTH, July 8, 1898.
Dear Miss Greedy:
l see by the Bangor Neps that you are
secretary of the Volunteer Aid associa-
tion for the relief of our soldiers and
sailors, so this is my excuse for troubling
you with questions.
Do you think patchwork quilts would
be accepta BILE in your work? Our little
girls here in Dollsrdtown have "Work
and VIM society and have q crazy patch
quilt nearly done for the Home Mission
cause and would like to finish 1t up for
the poor wounded soldiers or sailor boys,
as we feel that is really home mission
work.
Also our Christian Endeayor society
wants to give 81 for the ice-water tents,
and IL agreea BILE to your society We will
add our little offerings through your
organization. We may be able to give
only a cup of cold water to a few of the
dear ones, but we give it gladly, for,
sitting in the shade at our own homes,
with our dear ones with us, our hearts
ache to think OF those that are fighting
for the liberty Of Others and fulfilling he
divine command to "break the bands OF
the oppressor and let the oppressed go
free.
You can answer this to me, or per haps
what would be better still through the
columns of The ELLSWORTH AMERICAN,
as no doubt there are other country COM
munities that would help in the work II
they knew where to leave goods or money
in safe hands.
Yours respectfully.

An item recently published on the tire-killing qualities of new powder has elicited many inquiries for further information concerning this apparently valuable product The claims made for the powder are that it will instant ly extinguish any ordinary flame aris- ing from any cause whatever. and will subdue fire when other extinguishers have failed: that it is quick in action, putting out ordinary fires in three sec- Onds. one-tenth the time required by efficient liquid chemical extinguishers under favorable circumstances: that it is very simple to handle. and. while it cln be thrown from its tube for quite a distance, the powder is so light that the draught created by the fire itself assists in drawing it where it is most ne Alel: that it is nOn-poisonous and non-corrosive. working no injury to either person or fabric. no matter how delicate or fine the texture or cOlOring: its gases are said to be absolutely harmless to human life.

NAVAL PRIZE MONEY.
How the Proceeds from the Sale Of Captured
 Vessels are Divided.

The capture of the Spanish mer- chantman, the Buena Ventura, the first prize of the war with Spain, has aroused considerable discussion as to the disposition of such captures in time of war, and how the prize money is di- vided. Hammersly, who is consid cred good authority on naval subjects. gives the following information on this point:
 "Vessels and their cargOes captured as prize in naval warfare must be sent into port for an adjudication in prize court in the manner prescribed by law. If condemned, the property is sold by the United States Marshal and the proceeds, when the capture was made by vessel or vessels of the navy. dis posed of according to the order of the court If the prize was of equal or su- perior force to the vessel or vessels making the capture, the whole of the net proceeds will be decreed to the captors. and when of inferior force. one-half will be decreed to the United States and the other halfto the captors.
 "The prize money adiudged to cap tors is distributed in the following pro portions:
 "l. The commander Of fleet or squadron. one.twentieth of the prize money awarded to any vessels under his immediate command.
 }. "To the commander of a division of fleet or squadron. Il sum equal to one-iftieth of any prize money awarded to d vessel of his division under his command. to be paid from the mOiety due the United States. if there be such mOety: if not, from the amount awarded the captOrs.

MERE BITUMEN EARTH.
Valparaiso Man Thought He Had
Struck a Coal Field.

State Geologist Blatchley yesterday re-
tendent of schools at Valparaiso, in which
the latter asks his advice as to "a new kind
of COAL which has recently been found on
a farm two miles from Valparaiso. A large
chunk Of the mineral was sent along in a
box. The writer, however, did not tell the
name of the man who found the coal, but
said that it was found on farm near his
own. Some children were playing there one
day, and for some reason, dug down in the
ground about foot, and came on thick
vein of the black stuff Calling their
fathers attention to It, the latter became
excited at orce. believing it was coal in
immense quantities, and in such shape that
it could be mined with pair of fire tongs
and a shovel were it necessary. He made
up his mind to ask the advice of the state
geologist, and in the meantime secure an OPP
ton on the neighboring land at ordinary
farmland prices.
Mr.. Blatchley, however, only needed a few
minutes work on the substance to ascertain
that it was simply earthly matter impreg-
mated with bitumen and utterly worthless
as fuel. A piece thrown into fire heated
but refused to blaze and came out as black
it went in. 1t was the first time such a
form of earth had been seen by the state
geolOgist, and furnished a complicated study
for him while he was trying to find out how
it came to be in q forma ton so closely re-
sembling coal in appearance, and covering
such an extended area so close to the sur
face of the ground.

TO THE LOWEST BIDDERS
HOW CONTRACTS FOR SUPPLIES TO
STATE MILITIA WE'RE LET.
Further Investigation of the Sentinel
SIeuth Yesterday in the
War Accounts.

Tile Sentinel yesterday examined into the
circumstances of the contract under which
the bill of Kothe, Wells & Bauer for $4,269.46
for groceries furnished the troops at Camp
Mount last spring was paid The records
in the quartermaster generals and adjutant
generals offices were ransacked and all the
vouchers examined. The investigation de-
veloped the fact that all the bills were for
goods furnished under contracts, the pro-
visions of which were guaranteed by
$40 900 bond filed with the State. This was
new departure, and no doubt surprised the
agent of the Democratic calamity organ, as
under Democratic administration such
thing as a bond in connection with furnish
ing supplies for the militia had never been
dreamed Of.
The investigation also developed the fact
that when the troops assembled on the call
of the President last spring, the first in
stalment of rations and supplies were
furnished under an emergency order for one
day, but on the following day. April 26, the
and the soldiers were supplied under con-
tract by the lowest and best bidder Four
prominent firms submitted bids, and as
Kothe, Wells & Bauer offered the lowest
prices for a uniform grade of goods they
were given the contract under bond. The
other firms were: George w. Stout & Co.,
Monarch Supply Company and M. O'Connor
& Co. Following are the bids as the Sen
tinel man found them:
