n Stranded Maino Skipper Finds
Prosperity in Il Now Eicld

Jonesboro (Mainc) Cor. New York Sun.
Ihc most famous man in eastern
Washington county today is Caleb
Gushing Clarke, a Capc Cod fisherman,
who came ashore At Builcy's Mistake
in company with his schooner during
tho gallo OF September If, 1893. The
schooner landed among the rocks and
alder bushes 20 rods beyond high water
mark, and lies whore sho struck.
Clark discrcctly remained below deck
until tho storm had subsidized, wncH he
went to y ncighbor's house and was
taken down with an attack Of rhcu.
matte fovCr which kept him in bed
three months. The owner Of the house

sardino fisheries as soon as he was able
10 work, making him so contented that
nc has never wishUu TO return to Pro.

Though Clark can place an attach
lncnt upon Fame on account OF the
perils he has seen, his chief claim to
distinction lies in the possession OF q.
remarkable breed OF potatoes, the
orlgjna seeding OF which was given
him by his benofacLor for tho purpose
Oh curing rheumatism. Ho began to
carry this potato in his pocket in

Clark thought OF throwing it, away for

several times hHd he not been assured
that TO shift "rEcumntiz potato"
meant bad luck. During the next
year it had fallen away to the size OF
AN English walnut and became hnrdcn-
co, lying IN his pocket like Il block Of
wood.
Meanwhile Clark'a rheumatism had
entirely disappeared. SO one day in

"A proposition to utilize the negro

vICEROYIN SORRY PLIGHT.

a dispatch from London says: Pri-
vate letters from Sinla bring tidings OF
something like palace revolution in
the viceregal household, owing to the
pretensions OF the Vicereine's mother,
Mrs Letter. Capt. Mead, one Of Lord
Curzon's aides de camp, has resigned,
aud other members of the Viceroys
suite are reported to be in state of
suppressed mutiny.
1t was all because Lord Curzon, the
Vlceroy, gave orders that when Mrs
and Miss Letter were driving alone
they should be escorted by an aide-de-
camp.
There is no place on earth where Ell
ouette rules SO absolutely as in this
colony of Anglo Indian officialdom.
Tradition prescribed that sons, daughI-
ers or sisters OF tbs Viceroy might have
viceregal aide de-camp in attend
auc.: out such distinction has never
pefore been clamed for the Viceroy's
mother-ia.law.
Captain Mead formally declined to
escort them, an offered his resignation,
which was accepted. He Is now re-
turning to England.
The young Earl of Suffolk, another
of the Viceroy's aides, who is very
sweet on Daisy Letter, has since at
tended them, but not officially.
There has also been trouble and
heart buruiDg about the Viceroy's
mother-in.law's and sister-in.law's pre-
cedence at viceregal entertainments.
Mrs. Letter insisted upon being taken
in after her daughter, which point was
conceded reluctantly by the starched
old officials, but bitterly resented by
their wives, the viceregsl circle being
necessarily extremely restricted:
This uHpleasantness is continually
cropping up in one form or another
and it is making Curzon's life miser'
able. The worst of it is that Mrs Letter
can't understand what the trouble IS
about, and the intense enjoyment which
she derives from her quasi regal honors
is the most irritating feature OF all TO
the superseded wives of high officials.

COMMUNICATED.
TO THE BUSINESS MEMS
LEAGUE.

The published report Of the proceed
ines of the last meeting Of the league,
or in other words, the incubator of in
fant industries in Alexandria, suggests
to my mind scheme by which numer.
Gus small factories can be started and
made to grow into manhood in due
time. Ny idea is this: Organize a
stock company with capital sufficient
to erect three story building with,
say, eight rooms on each floor, and
furnish same with steam or electric
power, say four horse power to each
room. Then after ascertaining the
cost of room and power for each, rent
the same TO some small manufacturer
at an advance sufficient to pay interest
and wear and tear on property. You
will frd that you can furnish the small
capitalist plant ct rental which he
can pay and enable him to compete
with large concerns. The combination
OF twenty-four firms and the division of
cost Of building and power will induce
u worthy mechanic with small capi-
tai TO put in machinery and work his
way into an independent concern of
greater magnitude; in other words, it
will make an expansionist Of him.
Give This your serious and prayful con-
sideration, gentlemen Get down
TO practical work. You have the
money, many members of the league
own houses, you want tenants, you
want population; factories will give
both and boom your city. But you
csnDot accomplish much by talk. You
must put your shoulder to the wheel
and help move the car. T. V. r.
