Lumber on the Penobscot.

Information was received at Bangor,
Monday, to the effect that the West
Branch drive, the larger and more i'm
portant of the two Penobscot river
drives, will not reach Bangor boom, this
year. This will be the first failure of
the kind In the history of numbering In
eastern Maine, and the non-arrival of the
logs will prove serious setback to the
various branches of the lumber industry
there, aud indirectly to the shipping
business.
The West Branch drive has been said
to contain about 90,000,000 IT., of which
about one half belonged TO Great North
ern Paper Company of Millinocket II
is now stated, however, that the logs
will probably not scale much over To-
600, 900 feet. OF this amount 10000 600
have been separated and delivered to the
Great Northern Company. The remain
der, consisting of 100000 feet, and
worth about S500,000, is now located
near Midway, at the junction of the
East and West branches of the river.
The East branch drive, which got in a
week or two ago, was very slow in pass
ing the distance, which must now be
traversed by the West branch drive. 1t
required nearly three weeks, in fact, TO
carry the logs distance of eight miles.
The river Is even lower now than it was
then, and there is apparently little hope
that II will rise again.
The mills are now running, for the
most part saving up the logs which
came down with the tardy East branch
drive, but the supply is small, and will
last only short time longer. Then the
mills will have TO shut down several
weeks earlier thar usual, not to start up
again until next summer. Next years
operations will also be delayed, as far as
the saw mills are concerned, because
there will be no logs left over from the
previous season for early saving.
The shutting down of the mills will
throw out of employment large mum.
Der OF men. but as there is scarcity of
men to go into the woods, these should
find work without difficulty. The great
est loss will fall upon the log haulers or
log owners, and upon the saw mill men
who buy the logs and sell the manu-
featured lumber.

CULINARY CAPERS.

If parsley is wrapped up in piece of
wet cheesecloth, it can be kept for some
time.
Nutmeg is much used by the Italians
when cooking spinach, as it is said to
bring out the flavor of the vegetable.
Two or three leaves from a rose gera-
mum added to crab apple jelly while it
is cooking will, it is said, impart de-
licious flavor.
A pinch of powdered ginger added to
cranberries in cooking will bring out
the flavor. They should not be stewed
to jam, but kept separate, looking
more like candied cherries.
For a vegetable puree either young
turnip tops or even young fresh nettle
tops are recommended They are cook

Passenger Elevators.

30 common are passenger elevators
now and SO absolutely necessary in the
tall office buildings that the history of
the first one has been almost forgotten,
and yet 1t created a sensation in its
day. This elevator was placed in the
Fifth Avenue hotel in New York when
1t was built, and as the first passenger
elevator in the world 1t was a drawing
card as one of the sights of New York.
A small plate suitably inscribed in
forms visitors to the Fifth Avenue ho-
tel elevators today of that fact. 1t was
screw elevator, the carriage being
raised or lowered by the revolutions Of
big screw. Compared with the swift
moving elevators of today, which shoot
up and down rapidly and smoothly,
this was very crude affair. Many Of
New York's private houses are now
equipped with elevators so adjusted
that the passenger operates them by
pushing a button. These are practl-
cally automatic

Employees In Department Store
Were Dazed by a 81 1000 Bill.

There was one division of one of the
largest department stores along Sixth
avenue that suspended business for
half an hour one day last week. A
woman bought some handkerchiefs
and pair of towels. The clerk footed
her bill, 40 cents, and the woman laid
paper bill on the counter.
The clerk, q girl, looked at it hastily.
1t read $1,000. She had never seen
thousand dollar bin before in her life,
and the amaZement it caused made her
speechless. With her mouth open in
wonder she made out the check, show
of $1,000. The girl who acts as cashier
fell back in her chair when she saw the
bill. She didn't have change for it,
and after gazing at it In wondering ad-
miration for moment she rushed out
to lind the manager. He asked for the
customer who had offered it, and the
girl led the way to where the woman
was waiting. The clerk had recovered
from her surprise enough to point out
the customer.
The manager said, Madam, what
did you buy?"
The woman named over the small
articles.
What did you give the clerk?"
Il gave her dollar bill"
No; you gave her this, and it Is
worthless" the manager said sternly.
Perspiration stood out on the wom-
ans face as she looked in wonder at
the bill. She fished a dollar out of
handbag she carried and paid. BY that
time she had figured out an explana-
tion. She has son attending a bust
ness college, where they have mock
transactions in business and paper to
look as much like money as the coun-
terfeiting laws of the country will per-

she exhibited an iron will at the age of
8, a will that even the stern queen
mother could not break. But as the
child grew toward cultured womanhood
strong affection sprang up between
the mother and daughter and In later
years the princess took on the features
of Britain's Queen in marked degree.
To-day her likeness might be mistaken
for an early picture of the lamented
Queen Victoria. At the age of IL the
princess met the Crown Prince of Ger
mony, on the occasion of a visit of the
young Frederick to England in 1851.
A friendship sprang up between the
royal children which ripened into love
as the years went by. In 1858 they
were married in the chapel of ST.
James Palace, London.
Though the marriage was we'll re-
ceived in England the Prussian king
dom was shaken to its foundations.
Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor set his
face against 1t and in every way possi-
bic he used his influence against sthe
Englishwoman," as he called her. His
attitude was reflected in the press and
she was pictured as a foreign inter
loper, intent upon Anglicizing Prussia.
At Berlin the English princess was
hissed and derided on every occasion.
Even when accompanied by the Crown
Prince she was not secure from insult.
This treatment by his people while he
knew that they loved him, was trial
to the young prince, but he never fal-
tered and as long as he lived the prin-
cess was sure of his affection.
That the princess ever became queen
was due to her own indomitable will
and energy. While the old Emperor
Wilhelm lay dying the Crown Prince
was known to have the disease that
finally killed him. Bismarck was
alive to the opportunity. Under the
German law no heir to the throne can
become Emperor II afflicted with an in
durable disease All the court physi-
clans were under the thumb of the
chancellor, and if he could get them to
see the prince and say cancer" he
knew that he would blight the hopes
of "the Engiishwoman." But no one
knew this better than the Englishwom
an herself. She shut the doors against
the German tools of the chancellor ano

Daughter of a Queen and mot ker of

unhappy to the last degree, the Em-
press Dowager of Germany lies near

her imperial son. bereft of her mother,
and having the contumely of foreign
nation which never understood her,
this daughter of the throne of Eng

iron will has stood off the destroyer for
so long. The world has wondered why
she should care to live. 1t has been

her burdens Her position is simply
that of one who sees the inevitable,
but who stands waiting for Fate to
turn the last card.

great gloomy castle the Empress Dow

youngest daughter, the Princess or

spend an afternoon. At rare intervals
the German Emperor comes. He
alights from horse or carriage and,
leaving his attendants, strikes through
the broad courtyard, nodding here and
there to an old servant. When he has
had refreshments he goes for a few
moments to the room of his sick moth

ing and parting are perfunctory, and
when he has gone there is silence and
perhaps tears in the sick room.

Special TO Capital Journal:
PORTLAND, July l.-Coptrary toexpec'
tations, the grand jury made its final
report without making mention OF the
open gambling now in vogue here. The
fact that Portland is an open town is
now notorious and no effort is being
made to suppress the games. During
it's session, which has just closed, Il G
grand Jury summoned a number oi
prominent people and investigated the
reports of gambling. Owing to these
known inquiries it was con6dentislly
presumed that report would result,
but the impression proved incorrect.
There are about 16 Chinese lotteries
running and about 25 fantan games.
The former are paying about $50 a
month and the latter So . week each.
This money is collected by Chinese and
surrendered to white man. This
much lie acknowledged by the Chinese
contributors and there is no difficulty in
ascertaining exact figures should anyone
wish 80 to do. The identity of the white
manreceivingthe tribute is notstated, the
Chinese being careful to conceal what
ever TREY know concerning him. 1t is
understood, though not known as fact,
that this white man is a special police
officer. Some assert that it is Captain
of Police. Slot machines are popularity
supposed to be paying $2O month each
while the big houses Of the white gamb
lers pay large amount.
Prosecutions instituted under the
state laws have failed owing to the diff.
Guilty in securing evidence. Under the
the state laws it is necessary tointroduce
more specific evidence than under the
city charter. The city ordinance re.
quires merely the establishing of the
fact that gambling houses are being
operated so that by means of the ordi-
nance every house can be closed in "A
