MIR. LAMSON'S KITES.
An Exhibition of Their Flying
Capacity Suggested for
Old Home Week.
Some thing that the Old Home Week.
Committee should Not Miss.

The suggestion made in The Times of
last Sunday that an exhibition of Mr.. c..
H.Lamson S wonderful kites would prove
an exceedingly entertaining feature of
the Old Home week celebration has met
general favor, and at 6ae request of a
number OF citizens Mr. famson, we un-
derstand, will lay before the committee
in charge of the celebration, a PROPOSE
ton for such an exhibition The exhibit
ton will have the great merit that it can
be easily seen and enjoyed by every one.
In that respect it win prove far superior
to some other features of the
celebration which can only be seen
by a comparatively few and not to good
advantage even by them. One of Mr..
Lamson's kites has just made an ascent
at the Blue Hiu Observatory of 10, 800
feet, or about three miles above the.
level of the sea. He has Il number Of
varieties, and with a favorable breeze the
flying capabilities of all of them can be
tested. OF course. something will depend
upon wind and weather, but practically
all the features of the celebration depend

not be given then there would be no ex-
pense to the city. But there are very few
days when it does not actually rain or a
thick fog prevail that it is not possible
to fly all or part OF his kites. Wind
permitting Mr.. Lamson will send up
man with one of the kites. One or the
other Of the promenades will doubtless be
selected as the place OF exhibition, so that
the opportunity Of all for seeing win be
excellent.
Mr.. Lamson's kites are to a large ex-
tent constructed on lines original with
him, though some of the features of the
Hargrave kite are retained. They HAY
attracted a good deal of attention from
scientific men all over the country, and
the newspapers of several of the large
cities have devoted much space to describ-
ing them and calculating their method of
flight A few years ago the highest re-
cordsd altitude attained by a kite was
about one mile Now largely through the
Lamson's Improvements an altitude CT
three times that has been obtained. These
IIamson kites are huge affairs, entirely
different from the kites the general pub
lic is familiar with. MIR. La1nson has
successfully raised man seventy-hve feet
on one Of them, and he will duplicate
that performance Old Home week if TIE
committee win give him a chancs and
the weather is favorable. The exhibition
which he proposes would seem certain to
furnish a great deal of satisfaction to the
general public at very slight expense. 1t
is one too that the citizens of Portland
ought to take pride in having given when
the city is full Of strangers, as it will req
resent the unequalled achievement of a

FAMOUS VOCALIST TRIED FOR IN.
SANITY.

Salem, Mass, July 26.-John W.Hutch-
inson, the widely known octogenarian
vocalist of Lynn, appeared in the probate
court in this city again yesterday to OPP
pose the granting of the petition of Mrs
Viola Campbell and other heirs to hay
him declared insane and guardian APP
pointed to take possession of his proper
ty, said to be worth 100000.
The case was opened July 10, the
contention of the heirs being that Mr..
Hutchinson has an exceptionally tender
admiration for the gentler sex, while
fear is entertained. by his relatives that
he may become entangled matrimonial
ly with some woman who has designs on
his property.
Mr.. Hutchinson, although very patri-
archia1 in appearance, ON account of his
long, wavy white hair and beard, is very
active in his movements and lucid and
fluent in his speech.
At the opening hearing letters were
submitted said to have been written by
Mr. Hutchinson in which much tender
ness Of heart and capacity for love were
exemplifed.
A Miss Leggett of Methuen also sub
mitted testimony that Mr. Hutchinson
wanted to marry her. She was very pre-
possessing and some 60 years younger
than the defendant.
The hearing was adjourned to
August z.

HEATHEN CHINEE IN MAINE
A Horrible Condition of Affairs Dis
closed i1a-Kennc bee County.

An S. P. G. A. party from Waterville
Wednesday, paid a visit to Yorktown, -
locality in China, according to the
Wateryille corresp ondent of the Lewis
ton Journal. The conditions they de-
scribe as having found there are almost
past belief
yorktown" is SO called because the
people who live there are all of the fami-
ly of Samuel York who is now 76 years
old, and is dying from carbuncles at his
home.
The settlement consists of five small
and dirty houses scattered along about
a third Of mile of country road.
At the house of Alonzo York, two wom-
en- and three children We're found. One
of the women was Mrs. Frank York, the
discarded wife of the man who was sent
down to prison in the winter of 1899 for
theft and who is the father of the little
child that was poisoned at the home OF
Ruel York in Fairfield last fall. Both
women were clothed in filthy rags The
floor was of rough boards and the ceiling
was of the same material. The living
room was a mass OF filth. The dishes on
the table were mostly of pulp. The two
Oldest children, one five and the other
four, were clothed like their mothers,
while the youngest, babe of two years,
sick nigh unto death, was lying on
couch in rags taking medicine for what
the eldest woman said was lung fever.
Mrs. Frank York allowed that she is
something of a doctor herself and she
was taking charge for the time being.
When the visitors entered this woman
was giving the child a mixture of alcohol
and water, castor oil and ipecac. The
child had been sick several days and had
seen no help tx cept that of the two wom-
en-,
Che house w as a three-room affair, two
rooms being used by the family as living
and sleeping apartments, while the third
was used as a stable for one of the poor
est and most crippled horses that have
come to the notice of the society for a
long time The floor of the room where
the horse was kept had been removes,
but the accumulation of dressing and
offal was ON level with the original
floor. A doorway opened from the sleep
ing room to the stable and the sick baby
lay within four feet OF that doorway.
the family had taken no food since
morning and the pinched faces of the lit
tie ones showed that it was great luck
for them If they secured more than one
meal in any one day. An examination
of the horse was made and the poor
beast condemned to be shot.
At other houses visited similar condi-
tions were found.
Total depravity is stamped on every
countenance. The elders lead life of
slovenIiness and play with crime. Chill
dren are born of these people and are al
lowed to grow in an atmosphere that
would disgust a Digger Indian No
effort has yet been made to stop the
growth of this evil.
The family belong in Fairfield and
Vassalboro, and the selectrnen Of China
provide them what they ask for and
charge it to these towns.
