Where There Are No Taxes.
rom the Portland Press.

FROM the portland freSS.
Loud's island on the coast of Maine,
near historic Pemaquid, in the Lincoln
county town of Bristol is one of the
very few places on earth where there
are no taxes. This island, otherwise
known as Muscongus, was overlooked
when Maine became state, and was
put into no town or county. 1t is said
that during the war the people cast
their votes for time in the town of
Bristol. until some election officer dis
covered the illegality of the vote. The
island was first settled by John Loud,
a deserter from a British man-of-war,
and his great grandchildren are now
prominent inhabitants. By voluntary
contributions school is maintained, the
parents paying 81 for each child. Ihe
school term averages eight months In
the year, and there is an average at
tendance of IS scholars. Catching bait
for the fishermen of Boston, Gloucester
and Portland is the most profitable
business of the people, but when bait
is slack in running they turn their at
tpntion to lobstering. maCkerel fishing
and catching porpoises for the big oil
and fertilizing factories opposite the
island in Bristol. After a successful
haul of bait a large white flag is hoisted
on the high ground in the center of the
island. With glasses it may be seen
far out at sea, whence comes the Grand
Bankers and others like buzZards, at
tracted by the casualties of battle. The
people have comfortable homes and are
prosperous and contented. Like the
fishermen of Deer Isle, they are famous
for their skill as sailors.

Want American CapitaI.

San Francisco, Aug. 19.-Ho Vow, the
local Chinese consul general, has just
issued printed appeal to American
capitalists, imploring them to organize
a gigantic corporation to take advan-
tage of the splendid commercial advan-
tages offered in China. The document.
which Ho Vow now asserts was not
issued by him in an official character
has created considerable comment in
diplomatic circles. In fact, many ex-
perienced diplomats go SO far as to
criticise the Chinese consul for uttering
in his appeal what they term anti
European sentiments. The consul open
ly refers them to the friendly feelings
his people hold for the United States
and intimates that the government he
represents has little love for the Euro
pean powers. .- ...

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Deer Lodge. Aug. 19.--Last night about
9:45 City Marshal Tom Stuart discovered
smoke and flames issuing from a house
across the railroad track on West Rain
bow avenue, and at once rang the fire
alarm bell. The volunteer brigade soon
responded and in an hour from the time
the alarm was sounded had the fire out.
But it was too late to do much. if any.
good as nothing but the four walls and
the charred rafters of the roof
were left standing. while everything in
the house was completely destroyed: The
house was the residence of Jack Reed
and was a comparatively new building.
Mr.. Reeds family are in Garnet, and
there was no one in the house when the
fire started, he having business which
kept him uo until that hour. He has no
idea how the fire started. but thinks it
originated from a Queen heater stove, in
which he had kindled a small fire in the
early evening, but which he had closed
up on leaving and thought perfectly safe.
The house cost 50, 700 when built and is
practically a total loss. There was $500
Insurance on the house and s40O on the
furniture. Nothing was saved of any
value except Mr.. Reeds account books.
The calm which prevailed al the time un-
doubtedly saved other buildings.
