d. f. Foster of Church Hill, is one of
the largest operators in the way Of
maple syrup making in Augusta and
vicinity. Mr.. Foster has an orchard OF
about $50 trees covering space of five
acres. He has one of the most cosy
and convenient little camps where the
syrup is made, that one could imagine.
The output of syrup each year is about
20 gallons, which they sell TO the deal
ers in the city and to regular custom
ers. OF the 20 years or more that Mr.
Foster has been in the business. the
season of 1898 was the best of all. This
season is well on, but il is not likely &c
excel any others. and it is doubtful il
so great supply of syrup is obtaineJ
as on previous years.

Remarkable Performance Of . Mauia,

Roma rkabic Performance Of Mauiac
Who Jumped Overheard.
The Ward line steamer Seneca. from
South Cuban ports, brought with her
w. II. Seymour, engineers yeOman Of
the refrigerator ship Glacier, who was
rescued from drowning after he had
thrown himself from tho ship into the
sea near Cape Cruz. Seymour came
aboard the Seneca ut Santiago In
charge of Surgeon Burns, U. 8. n, of
the cruiser Cincinnati and an attend
ant. He was mentally deranged, and
was bound for st. Ellzabeth's hospital
for the insane at Washington.
While the Seneca was on her way to
ManZanillo Seymour become unruly
and was placed In irons. The Seneca
left MnnzanlllO for Clenfuegos. and
Seymour was allowed to have the lib
erty of the main deck aft. SO that lie
might get u little fresh mir and exer-
else. Handouts were still kept on his
wrists In order to prevent him from
making any violent demonstrations. At
1890 o'clock the steward appeared up
on the bridge and Informed First OH
/ Ger Reed. whose watch II was. that a
passenger was overheard. The ship
was ut once stopped ana backed up to
where Seymour, who Is large, pow
erful man, was seen swimming, hand
cuffed as he was, toward the shore,
which was between three ana four
miles distant.
A starbOard boat was lowered away
with all speed. The boat made Mt once
for Seymour. ana he was dragged from
the water ana taken back to the ship.
When the maniac was overtaken he
was still swimming ON his back, but
he made no resistance.
From the time the steward made his
report to the moment Seymour again
stood on the deck only fifteen minutes
elapsed. 1t was probably one of the
speedIest rescues on record. When
Seymour was asked why he had jump
ed overheard he said:
II thought I'd take hath. That was
tile only way ! could get home"

Of him, as Mayor, he thought. to call no
meeting ere this to discuss what should
BE- done on this holiday. But Farfrae had
been so quick In his movements as to give
Old-fashiOncd people In authority no
chance of the initiative. However, Il was
not too late; and on second thoughts he de.
