FREIGHT ROOM IN DEMAND.
The Scarcity Makes n Firm and Adj
vancInG Market.


There is a strong demand for freight
room in the local market just now, and as
a result rates are firm and advancing.
The demand seems to be due i'm a measure
to the scarcity of room for continental
ports AS a general thing there is ample
room offering at this time, so that the
effect of scarcity is not generally felt at
the opening of the season. One factor in
bringing about this condition of things is
the chartering by the British government
of a large number of vessels s transports
which formerly were engaged in the trade
between this and other South Atlantic
ports. The general effect of this charter
ing by the British is because of the fact
that vessels flying that flag do the lion
share of the cotton carrying from Amer
lean to continental and other ports. A To-
cal broker stated yesterday that many OF
the English vessels he previously char
tered for this season were now tied up
by the government.

From the New York Wort,

Bangor, Me-. Aug. 1s.-The prettlest
girl in South Brewer this date ia Niss
Darda Polyot, startled the villagers las,
night by climbing 10 the top OF an iron
chimney 126 feet from the ground taking
seat on its iron rim and calmly
looking down on the hundreds OF people
who were watching her from below.
some weeks ago the Eastern Manufael
turing Company erected this chimney ana
when 1t was finished left little iron lad
der hardly wide enough for a person 10
place two feet on one rung at a time
The company offered any person a fve.
dollar gold piece who would climb TO the
top of the big iron column.
None OF the men around town dared N
try II, but Miss Polyot, who is a stranger
to fear. declared that she would attempt
the Feat. That's easy and I'll Just
show you how to do the trick after sun
per she said yesterday when told of the
s. offer. Wv
And, so after she had finished her SUD-
per, and helped her mother wash tba
dishes, she donned her short skirt and
sterted for the mill
1t had been talked about town that sbe
was 10 go to tho top of the chimney. ana
when she started up the ladder a great
crowd stood and wondered II she had the
nerve.
Miss Polyot climbed TO the ton as
easily as a bear would go up a tree
Arriving there. she waved her hand 10
the crowd sat and looked across the
country for a few minutes, and then
made the descent as lightly as a sailor
comes down from aloft
she got the So and the cheers OF all the
men In town-and some of the women.
