Eastern Troubles Won't Affect Matthias.

The effect that the difficulties in China
will have on the mating and wool bust
ness has been the cause of considerable
speculation, not only among the mer-
chants but among the purchasing classes
A local dealer said: There must ulti
mately be a considerable change in price
on the China mattings but am not look
ing for an immediate advance, for the rea =
son that the scene of the present difficult
ties is confined to the northern district
where the business is more especially in
carpet, wool and goat skins, rather than
in mattings.
still another reason is that the Chi
nese residents are not what may be
termed sympathetic people and for that
reason if the difficulties are confined to
the district i'm which they now are the
chances are that mattings may escape
the big advance in price that a general
spreading of the trouble would cause
1.-The crop of straw used in making the
mattings is harvested in July and the
wholesale houses in China get out their
point to the successful harvesting of the
crops and it therefore seems that the
statement made in the carpet and uphols-
terry Trade Review that the advance in
freight rates or the stoppage of eXporta-
ton will be the first cause of an advance
in price. is based upon what would APP
near to be sound logic"

They were so successful in their eff

AHEAD OF SCHEDULED TIME.
Advanc. Agent Of Dog Days Fills The People
With Disgust.

A GREATNESS. sticky. over-heated at
mosphere characterized Monday as one
of the worst days of the season, as far
as Observation-Disclosures goes. The peo-
pie became partially prepared for the
weather By the announcement in the
! Sunday papers. The weather clerk was
| onto his job and the people got just
what had been predicted.
The first deal was made, Sunday af-
| ternoon Then the air was GREATNESS.
During the night, there was but a
slight relief. and when people awoke.
Monday morning, 1t was with the real
| iZation that they must again pass
through what they had experienced the
day before.
Up until 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. there was not a breath of air stir
ring. The thermometer began an up
ward movement and began climbing
until il reached the sc mark. There it
stuck and no amount of inducement
could alter its purpose to remain at
that point. The hygrometer on the
other hand. began to move steadily
down and had reached n low point or
what would be called moist. In fact
tfltIe was ds IiIu1l iIoiStuiN hS tiicbSh
rain We're falling. The rain did not
come. though, and people were obliged
to suffer.
a little after 10 o'clock N the morn
ing, a slight breeze sprung up. That
was the first relief for the day and peo
pie stopped working to cool off. The
hope of a cool breeze was lost later on.
Down on Water street there was moth
ing in the shape of relief. There was
not a breath of air stirring. To make
it still more disagreeable, a slight rain
fall started. Just enough soaked down
to make mans underclothing have an
affinity for him. There it stopped.
The clouds began to drop. and by 40
men were working at their desks by
artificial light, that added just enough
to the heat of the atmosphere to stop
all thoughts Of ambition for the time
being.
Taken all in all, it was the worst
day of the season. and there was
general desire that the weather bureau
would stop his excursions by which he
landed dog days over week ahead of
calendar time.
No cases of heat exhaustion We're re-
ported from the fact that every one
was perspiring through every pore in
their bodies.
1t began to rain. at 5 o'clock. gently
at first but finally with steady down.
pour that lasted for two hours. This
was accompanied by more or less thun-
der and lightning. There were several
very heavy claps of thunder but the
air was too moist for very heavy
crashes The electric cars We're stalled
by the storm, but as soon as the shower
was over the service was carried on as
usual.
Many of the employees of the publish
ing houses and the clerks on the street
were caught without protection and
more than one light gown will see the
hands of the laundress before it makes
another appearance. Even after the
storm was over there was but slight
relief and those who were obliged to
work in the evening were CARRIED no>|
more heavily than the law allows, and
dreaded the thoughts that they must
try to get in their sleep the next day
with the possibility Of the mercury
hugging the S. mark.

everywhere of Maine bred people from
all over the country who are coming
back to the old Pine Tree State, to
join in celebrating Old Home Week
From the West, the South. every
where. they are coming, to hold a
grand reunion of the home circle to
see old friends, renew acquaintances
and to view again the cherished scenes
of boyhood days, which are ever deem
ed the choicest pictures Of memory.
Among the latest bits of news rela-
tive to the great home coming. was di-
vulged in letter received last week.

Hon. Otis NJ. Moore former citizen of

throughout this section of the State.
Mr.. Moore is well known to the press
of Maine. and will be remembered as
the former editor and publisher of the
Philips monograph. few years ago

possibilities of that section of the coun-
try. and choosing the city of Seattle
as good location, has proceeded To
grow up" with it. He has been sew
eral times honored by Washington peo-
pie. and not long since was appointed
secretary of the Puget Sound Bureau
of Information, with his office in Seat
tie.
Everyone knows that thousands of
Names sons are distributed through
the West, and that the growth and i'm
portance in many Western cities is
due to the push and energy Of Maine
men. and in this respect Seattle is no
exception. These men are deeply inter
ested in the Old Home Week move
ment, and many of them are coming
East for the express purpose of helping
to celebrate the occasion. In his letter,
Mr.. Moore states that a car is being
fitted out at Seattle. to bring the party
across the continent. and that every
thing is nearly in readiness for the
start. The car will be decorated and
on the side will be large banners with
the legend: Seattle to Maine" in
large letters. If that car does not re-
ceive an ovation all along the route,
and a rousng welcome when it reach |

The plaintiff in the case, Maggie

could not account for the loss. She

When the case was on trial it was
supposed that Sherburn and Irving

of the hens being enticed across the

boys did not tell that kind of story.
During the course of the trial the court
told the boys to stand down as he had

STATE HOUSE.
Sessions Of Summer School
Opened at Ellsworth.
Outlook for Trout Fishing Growing
Much Brighter.
I 1000 Old Home Invitations Sent Out
National Guard Notes.

Hon. w. w. Stetson, State superinten-
dent Of public schools. commences his
campaign of summer schools at Ellis
worth, Monday. and during the seven
weeks following will be engaged in the
work almost constantly, being i'm the
field 35 days during that time This year
there have been three times as many In
quiries concerning these schools as ever
before which indicate that the attendance
will be unprecedented. Last year nearly
fourth OF the teachers in the State
were enrolled in the summer schools, a
record unapproached in the history of
schools of this character, when compared
with the whole number of teachers.
1.-THE schools" Mr.. Stetson says. mot
only give the teachers opportunities to be-
come familiar with modern methods, but
also keep them abreast of the times in
educational thought. A feature which is
noted is that they stimulate teachers to
attend our higher institutions of learning
and thus better fit them for their work
There are two things in which Maine
leads the world remarked Mr. Stetson,
the number of teachers in the State
holding State certificates and the number
Fof teachers that attend summer schools
Speaking of teachers meetings over 60
were held last year At one of the meet
inss held in country town 527 persons
we've counted as they passed out of the
hall at the close of the meeting.
Referring to the money for the schools,
Mr.. Stetson said: I'VE have but a
small fraction of the amount for teach
ers' meetings which is provided in other
states and about three-fifths as much
money for six summer schools as one OF
our neighboring states spends upon one
Mr.. Stetson, himself. will talk to the
teachers in the summer schools and he
will present something both instructive
and entertaining. He will proceed on
original lines. He has sent to Boston,
New York and Paris and procured re-
productions of some of the masterpieces
in painting and etching. his pictures be-
ing in carbon photographs. photographers
and steel engravings. His work will in
clude a brief sketch of the artist. the
school he represents and an interpreta-
ton of the works selected, the purpose
being to help teachers to get the thought
expressed in a picture. well as to APP
preciate and enjoy its beauty.
If it should be necessary to make call
on the State for troops to settle the
trouble in the East there is one physician
who would be willing to give his services
The letter making such an offer was re-
ceived, yesterday. by Adjutant General
Richards. The next thing to come will be
the volunteers of young women to go as
nurses. At the beginning of the Spanish
war great many applications were
made. not only to Adjutant General Rich
ards but also to Capt. Warren f.. Riker
of Lewiston, who was then in command
of the ambulance corps. There is album
dant evidence that if assistance is needed
it can be gained from all quarters of
Maine.
