The Suez Canal is neutral, and
the Spanish feet would be allowed
to pass through it, on its way to
the Philippines, and the Atlantic
Ocean is open for it to come this
way. If it wasn't for Dewey at
Manila, and Sampson and Schley
in Cuban waters, the Spanish re-
serve fleet might decide to go some
where.
In some respect S war is great
educator. The wealth, power and
resources Of the United States is
beyond the comprehension of the
Spanish intellect, but the lesson
they are now taking will be of
great benefit to them in the future.
If the Spanish reserve fleet ever
comes in range of Admiral Samp-
sons guns, he will knock it Cadizzy

There is a great lack of harmony
in the new Spanish Cabinet at
Madrid, IN which free trade and

Raising Cucumbers for Pickles.

The journal has from time to time men
toned the business of Shelton, Foote &, Co.
of Boston, who contracted with number of
farmers in this vicinity to raise cucumbers
for them this year. During the season 1909
barrels of cucumbers were shipped from Bel
fast and the farmers who raised them gen.
orally found it profitable branch of their
farming. S. NJ Elwell of South Brooks
planted one acre to cucumbers, and while
the yield was perhaps little better than
the average, it was not an eXtravagant one
and shows the possibilities of the business
Mr.. Elwell has four children who helped in
the picking and thus saved the expense of
hiring. He did not contract for the cucum-
bers until after most of his best manure was
used on other parts of the farm and had
only hog dressing and new poultry manure
to use But he composted these as best he
could and covered the seeds quite deeply ,and
the results were excellent. He marked off
his hills ) feet apart each way and planted
dozen or more seeds in a hill After the
plants We're beyond danger from bugs he
thlnned to D or plants to the hill. A few
hills were killed out, but most of the vines
thrived. The cucumbers were sorted into
three sizes-tines, from ? to inches long
mediums, from to - and coarse, over
1-2 inches. The contract price was 81 90
per thousand for fines and mediums, pro-
vlded not over one-fourth were fine, when
the excess of fines over one-fourth was to be
10 cents; and so cents for coarse. Mr.. Ell
well shipped $4,000, of which about 5000
We're coarse. The proportions of fines was
considerably less than one-fourth. A. j.
Cilley of Lincolnvlle, who has been in tie
cucumber business a good many years, says
that the usual yield per acre is from 10, 900 to
l25,000, and even at the lowest yield there
are few crops raised on Maine farms that
pay better

Rev. George Andrews Convicted.

Rev. George Andrews, formerly of Cush-
ing, whose arrest on charge of obtaining
money on false pretences was recently an
nounced, had his trial at Barnstable, Mass.
Tuesday, in the Superior court, and was
convicted. Ee was allowed to address the
court at cons derable length in his own be-
half, and was then sentenced to the house of
correction in Barnstable for Is months and
to pay fine OF 500. The evidence showed
that he solicited and raised money, in Fal-
mouth, for ''home missions and for "our
returned soldier boys" and converted it tc
his own use. He put up a very clever de-
fence, and might perhaps have got clear had
it not been for his previous record of four
years in State prison for burning his store in
Essex to obtain the insurance. Andrews
has been doing alleged religious work in
this county during the past year, and spent
some time in the town of St. George. He
never did any crooked work in this section,
SO far as we can learn, either while he was
at Cushing or Oh his last visit, and MANY
Christian people believe that be did great
deal Of good. He is fine looking man, of
pleasant address, and very intelligent; not
of liberal education, but very well informed
and showing evidence of extensive reading.

Shea'S Welcome to Boston.

Thomas E. Shea appeared at the Grand
Opera House in The Bells last evening
The performance was the first presentation
of the piece which Mr.. Shea has made in this
city, and was in every way in accord with
the previous meritorious performances of
the talented actor and his able company.
The piece has been specially dramatized
for him by Leopold Lewis and the great
French author, Mons. Louis Cardot, and is
peculiarly adapted to the characteristics
which have won Mr.. Shea large and en-
thusiastic following in this city.
Mr. Shea appeared as Matthias, and his
first entrance was the signal for hearty
ovation. The support of the entire company
allowed none of the disparity so often MOTTO
ed. Especially good was the work of Will
J. Carsons as the Polish Jew, and Miss
Flora Fairchild as Annette, daughter of
Matthias. Mr.. Shea will again present 1.-THE
Bells" Saturday afternoon. This afternoon
and evening and Saturday evening he will
present "The Man-o'-War's Man, and Fri
day evening ''Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde"

WAsHINGroN, d. c., Oct. %, 1898. All
Washington is quoting a sentence in a
cable dispatch sent from Paris by Editor
Beriah wilkins about the peace negotia-

ous it conquers assets, not liabilities"
Mr.. Wilkins goes on to state that Spain
will in the end back down and accept
the inevitable, and adds "My information,
however, is that she will accept the CON

of negotiations, and no appeal to Europe,
and that the treaty will finally be submit
ted for ratification to the American Senate,
and will be of such character as to meet the
