BUckFlELo's oLo HOME DAY.
Secretary d the Navy Long Helps His Fellow
IownspeopIs Celebrate.

Buckfield, Me-. Aug. 12.-This town OBJ
served Old Home week. Saturday. The
exercises consisted mainly of short ad-
dresses by citizens Of the town and those
who have been citizens. They were held
in 1.-The Old Church on the Hill," which
has been a landmark for more than a
generation. Ii is now used as a town
house.
The return OF natives and former resi-
dents of the town was general and the
hospitality of the open-hearted citizens
was severely taxed but it stood the
test admirably.
The social features of the occasion
seemed to center about the presence here
of Secretary OF the Navy John d. Long
who was born here, who. has retained the
Long homestead as summer residence
and who was the principal speaker at the
public exercises. Saturday afternoon.
All day. Friday. large numbers of re-
turning children of Buckfield'' were ar
irving. and the early trains, Saturday,
also were crowded. Hotel Long. the
building In which the secretary of the
navy was born, his present residence be-
ing a later home Of the family, was filled
Friday night. although many of the Wis
itors We're cared for under the roof Of
relatives
The days proceedings We're entirely in
formal. The forenoon was given up to
the renewal of old acquaintance. and the
public exercises were held in the after
noon. The program. besides the address.
included solos and duets by visitors and
a poem by Clara Marcelle Greene
The exercises commenced soon after
dinner Alfred Cole had charge Of the
arrangements. Secretary Longs address
was impromptu and in a happy vein.
The secretary devoted his talk mainly
to "reminiscences. and he made no men
ton Of national affairs. The secretary
contributed a large share to the success
OF the occasion by entering heartily into
the spirit of the day. He went about the
town in his farm attire and had bright
word for everyone.
After the address of the secretary of
the navy, responses We're called for from
Citizens of the Town by Birth and
Citizens of the Town by Adoption"

for the abutments. besides tearing out
the old work.
With the stone work all completed
and the iron for the bridge here, he
received word from the bridge makers
that they could not commence work as
quickly as they wished, and asked Mr.
Wellman to take charge. He at once
set a crew at work. and by Saturday
night the last bolt was driven in place.
The new bridge is a 50-foot order
structure, this form being more diff
cult to put up. One of the company )
men was here, Saturday. and after
looking the work over, said that the
work had been done in half the time

by Bridge Inspector Moses r. Leighton
and is pronounced in perfect order.

AMERICAN FRUIT IN GERMANY. -
Consul General Guenther, of
Frankfort, writes that local news
papers publish the following from
Hamburg:
THE ever increasing import Of
American fruits has greatly in-
creased the onsumptlon OF fruits
in Hamburg and vicinity. The
prices for fruits which formerly,
with the exception Of few kinds,
were high, have been somewhat
reduced by these importaslons, so
that it is now possible for the mid
die classes to become consumers.
"Under these circumstances, ex
citement has arisen because the
Prussian ministry has brought an
inquiry as to whether a protective
duty should be levied on American
apples. The association Of Ham
burg deale rs in fruits and vegetables
has protested vigorously. There
is no reason to doubt that the
Hamburg Chamber Of Commerce
will take the same stand and will
do everything to prevent the car

ion two years trying to reach the
artesian basin. IftheY do not sue
ceed at Sidon, they intend to move
the machine into the Bekaa plains,
between the Lebanon and the anti
Lebanon, where artesian wells can
no doubt be sunk successfully.
Other semiarid districts, where
agriculture even under present un-
favorable conditions is carried on
extensively, are the Hauran and
Klamath plains. AT Sidon. ordin-
ary water was struck, while the
above mentioned experiments were
pursued, at a small depth. and
there is talk Of importing up to
date windmIlls to use this supply
in irrigating the orange groves.
! believe, also, that wind power
could be advantageously employed
here to run the verv primitive flour
mills, wine and olive presses, etc,
OF this country, now operated by
water or horse power. The hrm
OF Sabbag & Son expects to use
our pumps and wind engines in its
bitumen mines in Palestine, which
must be constantly drained to pre-
vent inundation. This firm does
an export business to the United
States amounting to round mil
lion dollars per annum, chiefly in
wool, licorice and bitumen. This
is their first departure in the field
OF imports.
AS to the customs duty, | have
endeavored to persuade the col
lector to admit windmills without
charge under the clause allowing
agri cultural implements tree entry.

answer. The ordinary duty on
imports is s per cent ad valorem.

THE HAMsTER IN BELGIUM. -
Under date OF Liege, Consul Wins
low transmits the following state
ment relative to the ravageS oithe
hamster in Belgium:
The farmers OF this and adjoin-
ing provinces are very seriously
annoyed by the hamster, small
rodent. a native Of Europe. 1t is
remarkable for having a pouch on
each side oi the jaw, which it uses
TO carry gain and such articles as
IL consumes. A lew years ago,
this little animal made its appear
ance in this province from Ger
many, and has since increased very
rapidly. Families have been found
with sixteen young. They destroy
grain, such as wheat, barley, rye,
oats, etc, as soon as it becomes
ripe, by gathering the kernel and
storing it in their homes, which
are large holes in the ground. AS
much as 40 pounds OF grain have
been found in the home OF one
OF these families, as we'll as guam
tity Of beets and other roots. An
association OF farmers has been or
ganized at Fexhe Sims, near this
city, which pays 4 cents per head
for deadhamsters, and the Govern
ment paws the same price. In one
precinct near this city, 900 ham.
sters were killed during the pas.
year, Tor which the bounty was
paid.

TRADE HINTS FROM OUR
cONSULS ABROAD.

GERMAN SAMPLE Rooms IN sgd
NEY.-Acting Consul Monaghan,
at Chemnitz, Germany, writes:
The German manufacturers have
come to the conclusion that if they
would continue to make progress
in the future as they have done IN
the last twenty years in their eX-
port trade, they can no longer de
pend on the sample and display
rooms in Berlin, Frankfort, Leip-
zig, Hamburg, and other large
cities of the Empire. They begin
to feel the inroads which other ma
tions are making in the German
foreign markets. They believe
and here belief is based OIL practi-
cal knowledge-they must, to hold
their trade, transplant their sample
and display rooms from German
cities 10 the countries in which
they intend to do business.
The manufacturers Of the Grand
Duchy OF Weimar, with the Grand
Duke at their head, have taken up
this question and are about to es
tablish a sample room in Sydney,
New South Wales. 1t is claimed
by the men at the head of the
movement that it is impossible for
any one concern to carry on this
undertaking alone; that different
industries must combine and
make the burden as light as pos
sible. The Bavarian commercial
and industrial chambers have
made a close study OF this enter
prise and the opp ortunities offered
in the Australian market, and have
come to the conclusion that the
best way to develop their indus
tries is to join the Weimar manu-
facturers.
The exporters have found by
close study that the principal wants
of Australia are all kinds Of mach
ines, lamps, brushes, gloves, glass
WaI~ (in~ludina optical goods),
shoes, Photographic supplies, mus
ical instruments of all kinds, can
dies, paints and oils, agricultural
machines and instruments, furni-
ture Of all kinds, and beers
This is an opportunity that
American manufactures should not
neglect. There is hardly an arti-
Gle named in the foregoing list that
we can not make as well as, il not
better than, the Germans. There
is no question but that in time we
will force our way into that market,
but it will be hard work after the
Germans have gained possession,
and we should try to get in first.

hair. She thought that Stevens re-
sembled q of the men. Both prison
ers had asked her questions al the pre-
liminary examination at GAINESVILLE.
Mr.. Mitchell conducted the cross-exam-
nation, and dwelt much on the pre-
liminary examination at GAINESVILLE
and especially the questions asked by
prisoners. The examination was very
severe, but the witness did not get
much excited. Asked why the veil
was not brought, she said she was not
ordered to. She knew of other bur
giar1es having been committed in the
neighborhood. At this point the de-
tense tried hard to ask a question in
regard to names of people in the
neighborhood, but they were objected
to and sustained by the court. She
had not said one was a colored man.
but said he vas dark complicated" and
might have some colored blood in
him. She had not identified a man by
the name of Barker. All the windows
were closed on the first floor except
two, and on these the fasteners were
broken and could not be fastened.
With this witness the State rested its
case at about three o'clock.
The defense placed Devine on the
stand. He stated that his home was
in GAINESVILLE; was 81 years old; had
two sisters and three brothers; mother
living, but father dead; was with Leon
ard Stevens and Taylor at GAINESVILLE
on April I'd; had come there from Cam
bridge; was also in GAINESVILLE on
April 7th and 18th. the latter time COM
Ing from Bellaire. From this on he
gave minute descriptions, hours and
dates of these few days while near
GAINESVILLE. He stated that he and the
other two slept in a glass house. At
4:30 witness was still on the stand.

DAYLIGHT

Make a Successful Haul in Martins
Ferry at Mrs. NJ. b. Jumps Dry
Good store.
AT eleven o'clock yesterday morning
two well dressed men entered the dry
goods store of Mrs. NJ. B. Jump, on
Broadway, Martins Ferry. Mrs. Jump
was suspicious of them after they had
been in the store a short time. She
thought they were going to work the
short change racket. They asked to
see socks and shirts, and being waited
on a lady came in and they insisted on
Mrs. Jump waiting on her, but the lady
refused, and after they had examined
the good the men left, saying they
would return to-day. Mrs. Jump felt
elated over them leaving, but soon
found one had stolen a bolt of cloth
valued at about ten dollars. The po-
lice were Immediately notified, but
up to a late hour this morning they
had not been caught. One had a
long and heavy overcoat on. and it is
supposed he had secreted the cloth I'M
der the coat. 1t was a daring attempt
and it is hoped they will be caught.
