GOLD BUBBLE BURST.

Washington County's Klondike, and
How 1t was Worked.
The people in the eastern part OF Wash
ing county, and incidentally number of
large and small capitalists from the vari-
GUS and widely separated parts OF the
United States, have taken the gold cure in
generous doses. The story Of the Electro
lytic Marine Salts Co. Is the story of the
most gigantic and most beautifully
worked swindle OF many years. When a
man made the assertion that he could by
a secret process extract gold from salt
water, he Immediately had many hearers
and got lots Of free advertising; but when
he went further and apparently demon
strated that he could do what he said, he
found lot Of men anxious to buy stock
in the new enterprise. The extraction of
gold by secret process began then and
there, but it didn't come from salt water
To keep the ball a-rolling as long as
possible, preparations were made to build
large plant at Lubec, and with this ocu
lar demonstration that there was some
thing in it, the stock of the Electrolytic
Marine Salts Co. sold like hot cakes. The
gold-extracting scheme was working to
perfection.
A little over a week ago "Rev. p. F. Jer
negan", promoter in chief of the com
pany, invested some of his surplus wealth
in government bonds and sailed for for
eign lands. Just how much gold he sue
ceeded in extracting is not known.

The closing feature of the special tennis
tournament for the Halman cup for the
season OF 1898 was the banquet given at
the American house last Thursday even
ing by I. L. Halman donor of the cup, to
the mem bers of the Ellsworth tennis club
who participated in the tournament.
1t was good to be there, even to occupy

club are not experts on the courts, but
in tournament where knives and forks
take the place Of rackets they cannot be
beaten. They showed their knowledge
OF the game OF tennis by the readiness
with which they got on to Cunning

Mr.. Halman acknowledged the gift in

DESTRUCTIVE CATERPILLARS
Army of W rms at West Ellsworth
MariavilIe Marauders.

From different parts of Hancock county
| come reports OF a nest OF caterpillars. and
worms strange to the vicinity, which have
reached alarming proportions-su sufficient
! ii would seem to demand immediate in
yestigatfon by State agricultural or forest
commissioners. The reports from Maria
| willie and " est Ellsworth are particularly
alarming.
THE AMERICANS West Ellsworth cor
respondent SAYS the worms first appeared
there in numbers last wear in the woods
at Long Point, on the western shore of
Patterns pond. Asa NJ. Barron, of West
Ellsworth, visited the point in June last
year and examined the worms. They re-
semble the tent caterpillar but Mr.. Bar
ron thinks they do not live in tents as
a very few were to be seen on the trees.
The worms were crawling up the trunks
OF trees. They had stripped the leaves
from the poplars, brches, willows and
alders, but had not touched the maple or
the beech. At that time it looked as il a
fire had run over it, but later in the sea
son the trees leaved out again.
This year the worms have appeared in
even larger numbers. Even from across
the pond it can be seen that the worms
have taken all the poplars as far down as
i the William Davis farm, two miles or
/ more. AS vet the worms are confined to
| the woods. but are now close to the set
| Elements 1t is believed the proper State
authorities should make an investigate ion
and take some measure to exterminate the
pest before it becomes more wide spread.
From Mariayille the reports are Of even
more serious nature. 1t is not known
whether the caterpillars or worms are the
same as those at West Ellsworth, but
there is no question as to their destruc-
| tiyeness. A correspondent from Maria
Vile saws:
"The greatest pest of the orchards here
has been for wears what is called the tent
caterpillar. It generally appeared about
the middle of July. This wear II came
and went as usual: and now comes an
other crop more numerous and far more
disastrous than the first.
"'rhe second crop bears every char
| acteristic of the first, but differs from
1t in size and appetite, being very much
smaller, and very much more voracious.
II not only eats the leaves but has tackled

The Philippine problem is growing
more difficult. 1t is no secret that for
some time the administration has been
concerned at the attitude assumed by the
insurgents, and the request received this
week from Gen. Merritt that his army be
increased to $4,000 men does not lessen
the anxiety.
Gen. Merritt is now at Manila, will
about 1900 men, and some 11,C}0 more
are on the way or ready to embark. In
view of the peace negotiations, and the
uncertainty as to the final disposition of
the islands, Gen. Merits request comes
at an embarrassing time.
IL the United States is to retain the
islands, the large army will doubtless be
necessary to hold the rebellious natives
in check. 1t would be necessary to keep
large army in the Philippines for sew
eral years, and to keep a garrison there
permanently.
This is but one of the many sides to the
Philippine question, which cannot be
decided off hand. President Mckinley
did well to leave the settlement of this
question for more deliberate considera-
ton.

that high civilization which Is attend

IL proposes TO do 50, by requesting
each and all OF the churches to pun

$50 per month in payment for a
church directory. Heretofore, the press
OF this city has invariably given the
churches such free advertising as they
asked for.
Our contemporary suddenly mani
tests a deep solIcItude for extending
Christianity and high civilization" and
proposes TO extend II by happy union
of the mercantile and religious me-
thods. In the name OF the prophet

vendor. In the name OF the Almighty

newspaper vendor. II Is the thrifty

In its new and commendable move
ment for extending Christianity, 1t
proposes that all denominations shall
make up a team that will pull abreast,
and the traces be hitched to the axle
trees OF the Bulletins truck wagon.
But this Is to be done by paying to the
Bulletin, for the insstimable priyi-
lege, the sum OF $3.50 per month; for
which sum, severally paid, the Bulletin
will kindly hold the reins, and guide
them through the highways OF Chris
tianlty and high civilization.
