MAN DROWNED AT ANDOVeR.
WILLIAM NOONAN LOSES HIS LIFE IN
BREAKING 4 JAM.
Special to the Democrat.)


ANDovER, MAY 2, 1901.
William Noonan, a river driver en-
ployed by Thurston Bros, was drowned
in Black Brook Sunday. 1t seems that
he was at work with others breaking a
jam, and when the jam started he did
not run for the shore with the 9th
ers, but stood looking around until the
logs between him and the shore had run
out of reach. Then he had to jump for
life, but missed the logs and was carried
over the falls.
The body was found in the eddy be-
low the falls Monday There was a bad
cut on the head. Noonan was a native
of Loon Ridge, n. b., and the remains
were sent to his relatives there. He was
twenty years of age and unmarried. He
was young man of excellent habits and
a general favorite with the boys.

have been much closer. Rich was hurt
for catching early in the game, and
Young without practice did good work
behind the bat for seven innings. Upton
pitched very steady game, and was
not batted safely by the High School
players. The feature of the game was
the work of Tuell, who caught very
pretty game, and made good strong
throws to the bases. The fielding of
was noticeably good. 1t was
clean ball from start to finish. The at
tendance was not large.

THE SALVATION ARMY LOAN.
Practical Plan to Provide for Poor OF
Big Cities.

Practical Plan to Provide for Poor of
Big Cities.
The floating of an issue of $l50,0O0
thirty-year, per cent gold bonds by
the Salvation army, in furtherance OF
it's Western colonization project, calls
public attention to what is without
doubt the most practical and the most
rational plan to provide for the poor
of the great cities that has been at
tempted in this country. Like every
philanthropical enterprise of this
character, the Salvation army coloni-
cation scheme has It's business as
poets as we'll as its humanitarian side.
Projects of this character fall in their
humanitarian purpose unless they can
be successfully financed. The bonds
about to be issued are to be secured
by q mortgage upon the colonization
lands OF the Salvation army, which
now have an estimated value of $780,
600. That the investment in the bonds
Is regarded as q good one, not only
from q financial point of view, but
from the standpoint Of sane, practi-
cal and worthy scheme for lifting up
the submerged classes In the large
cities, is shown by the fact that $780,
600 OF the bonds have been taken by
Senator M. A. Hanna, Myron T. Her
rick, Washington e. Conner, George e.
Hopkins, John e. Mulholland, Benja-
min F. Tracy and others. That there
can be no question about the social
and industrial success of the project is
also indicated by. the fact that there
1000 families. now residing in large
cities, who are anxious to secure the
privilege of settling on model farm
in any of the three colonies that are to
be established. The project is far
reaching in its industrial, civil and hui
manitarian possibilities and merits
public encouragement.-Ch Rec,

EncouraRed to Be Sick.

A South Side Sunday school teacher
is under the patronage and motherly
direction of a wealthy woman, who
owns, among other things, large
conservatory. One OF the inducements
offered to the children who attend the
Sunday school is the weekly distribu-
ton of flowers. Every pupil receives
g. fower-a carnation or perhaps a
rose-and when a member of the
school is reported to. be sick at home
q whole bouquet is sent to the unfor-
tunate child. This pretty custom has
threatened, at times to lead to an cpl
demic of illness among the little girls,
who are very fond of flowers. The
little girl who went to Sunday school
received one flower and the little girl
who was sick at home received q
whole bouquet, to say nothing Of the
sympathy. One child in particular,
who has thought deeply over the mat
ter. finds herself in severe doubt every
Sabbath morning, and all she needs is
a little encouragement to be real in.

FASHIONS or 1920.
a Frenchmsn's Forecast of Feminine
Eads Twenty Years Hence.

FEcnchman's Forecast of Feminine
IT., Eads Twenty Years Hence.
When they are grown up, the young
ladies of the future who were born
with this century will look back with
Amusement on the manners and dress
of the days when their mothers were
girls. If M. Octave Uzanne be true
prophet, evolution in things feminine
will move. not by degrees, by by re-
markable bounds between the present
year and 1920. The long dresses OF to-
day will appear far more quaint to the
girls Of that period than do the
flounced skirts Of the S0s to the mod
ern woman. In 1920, says NJ Octave
Uzanne, the feminine prejudice"
which causes ladies, except OF course
in ballots, ''to object to displaying the
calves Of their legs" will have become
entirely extinct. Rational Dress" as
advocated by extremists, will not,
however, prevail. The kn1ckerbocker
will not GUST the petticoat, but the lat
ter will never fall below the knee. On
the other hand, the present clng1ng
skirt will be abolished, and dresses
will grow fuller in width as they de-
crease in length. M. Uzanne believes
that these revolutions in costume Will
be promoted by hygienic considera-
lions. He is violent opponent OF the
long skirt, on the score of its being
microbe collecting and distributing
agent. In the name of the laws OF
health, he likewise is persuaded that
the corset has but few years to live,
and will in 1920 be preserved, II at all.
in museums Of discarded instruments
of torture. Finally, wells will also be
tabooed for hygienic reasons, as they
act as nets for microbes, which are
gathered In their meshes and thence
are conveyed to the mouth and eyes.
Suddenly breaking away from health
considerations, M. Octave Uzanne in
dulges in flights of far more fanctful
prophecy. In 1920, it seems, occult
arts, necromancy and astrology will
flourish as they never did before, ex-
cept among the Alexandrine Greeks at
the commencement of the Christian
era. astral Influences" in which,
presumably. M. Uzanne believes, will
be an article of faith with the ladies
OF 1920, and they will dress according
ly. "They will be aware that black
predisposes them to Saturnian melan-
choly; that blue subjects them to lu-
mar fancies, that gray devotes them to
Mercury, with his gift of pecuniary
prosperity, that red places them under
the Olympian sway of Jupiter, that
golden Yellows associate them with the
sun, the giver of worldly success, and
that, lastly, greenish yellows bind
them wholly to Venus and her love
philters ''-London Telegraph.
