Peter FuIler's Career.

Peter Fuller, whose death in New York
is noted in all the daily newspapers there,
was a native, and during his struggling
boyhood, resident of Rockland. He was
born there in 1924, and was sailor bow
on ships that sailed from Bath to Portland
He was one of the first men to engage in
the rubber traffic in Brazil, and along with
the Goodyears he amassed large fortune
before he was thirty years old. He sold
forest OF rubber trees in the Amazon
region for S15O, 900, and he once had the
largest rubber warehouse at Rio Janeiro
there was in the whole world.
Mr.. Fuller led strange, adventurous
life. He was the financial hacker of the
Walker filibustering expedition in Ncara-
qua in 1914, and had Walker succeeded in
becoming master of the Central American
republic, Mr.. Fuller would have been
made multi millionaire by his monopoly
of the trade in Nicaragua. AS it was, he
lost $500, 900 when Walker was executed
for his political crime.
For seven years Mr.. Fuller was wool
grower in Australia, and he lost nearly
all his fortune by three-years drouth
there in 1855. Then he went back to the
rubber business, but the industry had
passed into other hands. Finally he re-
couped his fortunes by deal in mahog-
any timber in Venzuela, South Amer
lea.
He bought very cheap some Is, 900
acres of forests of valuable woods, and sold
the same few years later at a profit of
S275, 900.
He lost more money in Wall street in
the early sixties, but he was again big
winner when he bought United States
bonds during the dark hours of the Civil
War and sold them at enormous profit
when peace was restored He saw the
money there was in irrigation systems in
the arid west, and be doubled his fortune
there in ter years more.
He was an extensive traveller, and he
went three times around the world after he
was sixty-five years old. Latterly he has
spent much time in Florida and Europe,
and several years ago he came to Rockland
for a few weeks. He left an estate of
about g, 900, 600 and seven children and
26 grandchildren. He bequeathed $780,
600 to Congregational missionary efforts
in South America.

The Kansas Corn Crop.

An Atchison' S, Kansas, correspondent
of the St Louis Globe Democrat says:
"a corn crop Of 800, 900, 900 bushels. The
number is amazing. 1t breaks all records
for Kansas. 1t is beyond the comprehen-
sion of the rest of the country. The crop
practically made, as the experts agree.
Stalk growth is over. The tassels have
done their fructifying work and are turn
ing dead brown. The ears are bending and
the silk is blackening. If no more rain
should fall there would be an inch or two
on the end of the cob which would not fill
out. If too much rain should come the
kernels would remain soft longer than
they ought. An unusually early frost
might cut off here and there a late matur-
ing ear. But the great bulk of the crop is
beyond harm from any but the most I'M
usual conditions. If the favorable season
shall be rounded out with the ordinary
amount of moisture and with the usual
time of frost, then 800, 00C, 900 will be 49,
900, 900 bushels too small for the grand
total Of the corn crop of Kansas
What the crop of 800 600, 900 bushels
means to Kansas, Ellen Z. Alerton, the
wife of a Brown County farmer, told in
her 'FWall, o. Corn" And she told it
without poetic license.
What do they hold, these walls of corn,
Whose banners toss in the breeze OF III Orn :?
He who questions may well be told
A great States wealth these walls enfold
No sentinels guard these walls of corn,
Never a sound there of warder's horn.
Yet the pillars are hung with cleaning gold,
Left all unbarred, though thieves are bold
Clothes and food for the toling poor,
W ea!th to heap at the rich mans door;
Meat for the healthy and balm for him
Who means and losses in eli amber dim;
Shoes for the barefooted, pearls to Irvine
In the scented tresses Of ladies fine;
Things to use for the lowly cot,
Where (bless the corr want cometh not;
Luxuries rare for the mansion grand
Gifts of rare and fertile land.
All these things and SO many more
1t would fill a book to name them DER,
Are hid and held in these walls of corn,
Whose banners toss in the breeze of morn.

The big auditorium at the Washing

with crowd eager to see the children's
exercises. Four rooms were represent

spectively by Misses Maud Metsker,

Ethel Bell. The night was warm
enough to make the little ones feel
active, end presumably to secure the
best results.
The true indicator to the success of a
school entertainment is the school mis-

the frog. Its patriotic appearance at
tracted attention and inspired lively ef-
fort for its capture. Mr.. Stein at last
secured it and placed it in jar. Here
he intended it to remain until he could
favor the people of Plymouth with the
unique exhibit, but in some unsccount-
able manner it made its escape last
night. The loss sustained is beyond
estimate when one thinks what new
stores of knowledge it might have
furnished the naturalist OF what sums
of hard cash it could have brought an
enterprising side-show man.

Through the courtesy of X. Is. Ogles
bee we are In possession of the Havana
Herald, one of the daily papers pub
lished In the great metropolis of Cuba
AS the newspaper is always the true
indicator of the progress and standing
of country, 1t is always important TO
examine it with ca.e, especially if the
paper comes from our so-cslled pos
sessions. The Herald differs little
from the average American paper, ex-
cept that one side of it is printed in
spanish. Compared with the Manila
papers, 1t easily Outclasses them. The
superiority of its advertisements is
evident While the Manila papers are
advertising uncouth outdoor perform
ances, the Cuban papers restrict them
selves TO notices of such entertain
ments as operas and theater shows of
a more refined sort. From a scrutiny
applied equally to both papers a fair
conclusion may be drawn concerning
the extent of Spanish influence in the
respective countries. In Cuba. one
would conclude that the Spaniard hsd
thoroughly lmbibed the country with
his ideas of etiquette and aristocracy.
while in the Philippines influence in
that line amounted 10 a minimum.

ments TO be given by the pupils of the
city schools was given Monday night by
the pupils of the Webster building. At
$50 the doors were opened for the exhi-
bition of the pupils work. The draw

At 500 the program of the evening
commenced in the audience room by
chorus, entitled BOAT Song given in
delightful manner by the pupils of
Miss Carpenters room Fern Gibson,
Floyd Rose, Frances Marks and Louis

giving a bright, pleasing recitation.
The next number was a chorus,

sung by the pupils of Miss Goods
room. Following this came song "I'm

was well rendered and gave a most de
lightful ending to the program of the
evening
