WATCH LOST A CENTURY
Found Under the Logs of an Old Indian
 House

Indtapolfs. fs.-Jonathan Jennings, the first governor of the state of Indiana, came west soon after Indiana terr.tory was organized, and settled in Clark county. He brought with him from Pennsylvania one law book and a bullseye silver watch. In course of his canvass for delegate to congress in 1909, his house was entered, and among other things, his silver watch was stolen. He al- ways believed that the watch was stolen by a man who kept a drinking house in Charlestown, but he had no proof, and the liquor vender was not prosecuted.
 The house passed to other owners and on Tuesday Charles Hoffman began the work of tearing it away to make room for an- other. Between the first log and the stone foundation Hoffman found an old bullseye silver watch, which is believed to be the one that Governor Jennings lost in 1SO9 The timepiece has every appearance of being very old but 1t was in so admirable a state of preservation that when a key was fitted to it and it was wound up it started off as though it had but just stopped
 The house in which the watch was found was occupied as a barroom until about 20 years ago, when some members of a tenn perance society battered down the doors and broke out the windows, and the saloon keeper was driven away. Since then it has not been occupied. An effort will be made to secure the watch and place in the Geo logical museum.

John E. Kehl, United States consul, to a description of the new German steam ship Deutschland as follows:
 ''The Deutschland, launched at the Vul- can yards, in Stettin, on January 10 1900, Is intended to be record-breaker.

 Fox brought Erskine into parliament to combat the younger Pitt.

Murray could not stand much of that sort of thing and took refuge on the bench In cur own coun- try when Webster went into Harrson's cabinet, he sent Rufus Choate, the greatest of American advocates, to the senate Clay thought Webster had sent him there to watch him, something Webster could not do in person. The result showed Choate could not do tt either. Indeed, Henry Clay was the only man who could watch Henry Clay. unless old Jackson was an exception.

Some Opinions by Former Com
missioner of Sea Fisheries.

"The fishing industry of Maine is in a
prosperous condition now" said Hon. 0.
b. Written, Elk commissioner OF sea and
shore fisheries, to the PRESS on Monday.
cor course it is not up to what 1T was In
She flush times of the maokerel and the
Grand Banks fisheries twenty years ago;
but for all that it is very good''
Mr.. Written does not think there Will
be much agitation over fishery questions
In the legislature this winter because the
lobster question, which has been most pro-
ductive OF conflict. seems to have been
settled. The law abolishing all close time
and fixing a minimum length of ten and
half inches is generally satisfactory.
Some of the fishermen, it is true, are
agitating a little for close time; but in
general the law is Satisfactory. The fish
dealers, who are very influential, do
not want a close time, as it compels
them to discontinue their business for a
portion of the year, and thus interferes
with profits and with economy Of mana
cement. In other years the Gamers Of
Holsters have had great influence, and
have started frequent agitations. But
the law now discourages the canning of
Holsters in Maine, and that industry is
probably broken up here. The principal
canning is now done in the Provinces,
and it is thought that it win soon be di-
unfinished or wholly interdicted there.
The sardine industry, which Is cen
tered principally on the eastern coast,
with some business at Boothbay, may
come to the legislature this winter for
law to regulate the business. An i'm
mense number of these sardines are
canned. The annual output amounts to
about two millions OF dollars, and the
product has a reputation that is world
wide. But it is claimed that some of the
packers do not use the best oil, do not
Gull the fish properly, and put too-few in
box. 1t is hoped by legislation to regu-
late this so that the reputation of the
Maine sardines may be kept at it's present
high position
Mr.. Written says that when the mack
erel and Grand Banks fishing failed, the
Portland men in the business gradually
became discouraged and disposed OF their
vessels and their outfits. But the Grand
Banks fishing revived after a time and is
now profitable industry The maokerel
business has been fiat for many years
but this year it has been excellent. Some
Gloucester vessels have stocked twenty
five thousand dollars, and the idea IL
pervading the fishing world that the
mackerel are coming back for reasons as
mysterious as were those that prompted
their departure. 1t is thought that next
season there viii be several Portlan &
vessels in the mackerel fleet, and Mr.
Horace M. Sargent is spoken of as one Of
the enterprising veterans who is likely to
fit out one or two vessels 1t is thought
that others may DO fitted out in Port
land, being built very likely in Bath dur.
ing the winter.

since been at the Maine General hospital
were discharged from that institution a

son of Rev. Charles III. Mann of East
Orange, N, j., while bathing at Bailey
island, struck his back in the sand. 1t
was found that his spinal cord had been
injured as a result-of the accident. The
young man is eighteen years of age and 1t
is yet feared that he will be cripple for
life. He has gone to his home. Mr.. John

phis, Tenn, was injured by receiving a
terrible shock while bathing in the surf
at Old Orchard He was unconscious for
several days after the accident. He has
now been taken to a sanitarium at Brook

LIVES WITHOUT STOMACH.
MIR. Arthur Bradley Loses That Organ
But Does Not Apparently Misa 1t.

During the month OF July, Mr.. Arthur
Bradley, man seventy years of age, was
taken very sick. He was removed to the
Maine General hospital where the physi-
clans on examination found that 1t would
be a necessary resort to make an attempt
to remove the PATIENTS stomach. This is
an operation that has been performed
only few times with success. 1t was
accomplished a few years ago in Ger
many and short time ago In California.
DR.. Alfred King took charge of Mr..
Bradley and successfully performed the
operation, For few days after
the operation Mr.. Bradley suf-
fered great pain and his con-
dition was very low. But he soon showed
signs of improvement and is now well
IN an and says that he is able to eat and
digest anything which he desires not
withstanding that he deprived OF his
stomach.
