Dog Fish are Numerous.

The fishing sloop Clara Belle sought
the harbor August 18th for protection
from the storm, and the captain was
very blue over the luck he has had of
late halibut fishing in the western bay
off Isle au Haut.
'The're so gol darn many dog fish
around that we amt caught a mess of
fish in week." he remarked gloomily;
"never saw SO many dog fish in these
waters in years. Generally they run
about a fortnight, but they've been
hanging around more'n month now
and seem to be thicker than ever. No
use to try to fish, for the dog fish will
eat 'em all up before we can pull a
trawl." The complaint is general all
along this coast.
''Mackril? Amt seen a mackril this
season. Amt none around here. Say,
if you fellers who invent things ashore
for us fellers can only git up somethin'
to annihilate dog fish we'll erect mon
nment to him." -Rockland Star.

SILK AND TU1LE COSTUME.

curious thing Is that the Empress Eu.
genie styles and the Louis Nv and
XVI fashions are in direct opposition
and both are somewhat in evidence
and yet both modified to fit the ideas of
today. In one place we will find the
wide dounced skirt and bell sleeve
and in another decided coats belonging
to the time of one or the other of the
Louis. The rich and picturesque pom.
padour silks are employed to make
these coats, with white satin for vests,
and these all edged with narrow but
exquisite embroidery in colors. Some
of the long dress coats and evening
wraps are beyond belief, SO elaborate
and SO fussy they are. Deep ruffies Of
lace are put on them, and these still
further ornamented by applications OF
the tiniest figures in cretonne, sewed
down with silver or gold thread. These
tiny bouquets of cretonne are called
pompadour. The flowers, small as they
are, are perfect. They are applied on
lace and also on velvet, silk panne and
wool. The fancy promises to develop
into fad before this season is done.
l noticed yesterday quite number of

AUGUSTA, August 6. For the first
time since 1878 the annual reunion of
the 18th Regimental Association was
held in this city today The veterans
began to gather here yesterday, and
when the business meeting was called
to order at ten O'Clock by President
Samuel w. Lane, there was more than
usual attendance. The business meet
ing was not long one, but consider
able business was transacted, including
election of full board of officers and
selection of place for holding the next
reunion.
A feature of the reunion was the
marriage of William B. Joy of Boston,
formerly corporal in Co. F, and Miss
Mary A. tombstone, also of Boston, in
the presence of the veterans assembled
at City Hall. When the president of the
association, Capt. Samuel w. Lane of
Augusta had called the meeting to
order, he appointed a committee to wait
upon Mr. Joy and Miss tombstone and
inform them that everything was in
readiness for the ceremony. The party
returned to the hall accompanied by
Rev. Samuel J. Upjohn of Philadel-
plld, lOlul0lly JdolOl VI ou. NAee1h .
Episcopal church here. Mr.. Upjohn
otficiated at the ceremony, and the new
ly married couple were warmly con-
graduated by the veterans. Mr. Joy is
contracting mason in Boston.
The election of officers resulted as
follows:
President-A. F. hickman, Co. D,
Hyde Park, Mass.
Vice acknowledgement James NJ.
Stone, Co. A, Brownfeld.
Vice President-A. I. Martin, Co. E,

Col. Frederick w. Plaisted, son of the
late commander Of the regiment of
Augusta; Miss Alice Varney of North
Vassalboro and jerome E. Marshall of
Lowell, Mass, were elected honorary
members of the association. 1t was
voted to hold the next annual reunion
in Brownfield, the first week in August,
1902.
At three o'clock the entire party Went
over the new electric road to the Ma
tional Home for Volunteer Soldiers at
Togus, returning to this city early in

Un1versalists at Ferry Beach.

FERRY BEACH, Me-, Aug. s-Today
was missionary day at the Universalist
camp meeting, one of the most interest
ing days of the series. Rev. W. W.
Hooper of Portland, Universalist State
missionary, presided. The addresses
were by Rev. H. O. Perkins of New
Bedford, Mass, Rev. c. E. Lund of
Orono, and Rev. E. B. Barber of West
brook. The attendance was the largest
of the week. The afternoon showers
interfered somewhat with the after
noon out door meeting. The expert
ment of holding the meetings Of the
denomination here instead of The
Weirs, n. H., has proved very satisfac-
tory and it is believed that another
year the convention will be even better
attended. The final session will be held
next Sunday.

Big Steamships for Chicago.

C. E. Peck of New York, L. c.
Smith, of Syracuse, and Charles Coun-
selman of Chicago, are behind scheme
for the construction of ten steel boats
that will be the largest and most power
full going out of Chicago to carry corn
and wheat and to return with oats and
coal.
The Chicago Transportation Com
pany is the corporate title. Its capital
stock has been placed at $4,000, 900,
divided into equal amounts at I per
cent non-cumulative and ordinary
shares. There have also been issued
bonds to the amount Of s1,25O,0OO.
The contract for the boats calls for
their delivery by the American Ship
Building Company for 50, 100000. The
steamers are to be 356 feet in length.
Their capacity will be $500 tons each.

Biggest Ship AAoat.

The arrival in New York of the new
White Star liner Celtic, after her first
trip across the Atlantic, marks new
record in ocean service. As we have
said before in these columns, the Celtic
is by all odds the largest ship afloat.
Her average speed on the first trip was
little less than fifteen knots an hour,
and it is claimed that she was material
ly delayed by fog and thick weather:
When in her best trim, she is expected
to do about sixteen and one-half knots
an hour, about six and One-haf knots
less than the flyer Deutschland. Com
pared with some of the other record
ships in regard to size, the Celtic has a
gross tonnage Of 20,9O4. That of the
Great Eastern WAS but 1928; the
Oceanic 1924, and the Deutschland,
16, 500. On the matter of length, the
Celtic is five feet six inches shorter
than the Oceanic, but is longer than
any other ship that ever floated. On
beam, however she far exceeds the
Oceanic, having seventy five feet to the
latter's sixty-eight. She has passenger
capacity which is greater than the &C
commodations furnished by any hotel in
the world, and to look after her passen-
gers no less than 179 stewards are en-
ploped. Ninety-two men are required
in her engine rooms and stoke holes,
while between sixty and seventy sea-
men and twenty nine officers are en-
ployed on her. Her builders have
worked on the idea that people will
prefer to cross the Atlantic in between
seven and eight days with every COM
fort, rather than to be hurried over in
six in ships that achieve records at the
cost "Of overworked engines and squan-
dered COAL" Still, there is strong
feeling among many of the lines that
the express steamers, directly or indi-
rectly, are profitable, for it was recently
announced that the Cunard line was
planning for two ships, with a sea speed
of twenty-five knots, which were in
tended to wrest the record from the
Deutschland. The builders of ocean
steamships have been gradually adding
to the size and speed of their vessels,
and in this respect they have gone
ahead faster than have the facilities for
docking them in many of our ports. In
the last session of Congress, it was
stated in the debate on the appropria-
ton for Buttermilk channel, in New
York harbor, that the steamship build
ers were reaching for the bottom faster
than the dredgers." Such ship as the
Celtic could probably only enter Boston
harbor under favorable circumstances,
and yet, if this city is to continue as
great seaport, facilities must be pro-
vided in order that ships like the Celtic,
and even larger ones, can come here
with less risk than exists at present.

Are cats to become factors in the
practice of medicine: A western New
York paper tells the following story:
'After the two physicians and trained
nurse had exhausted all their skill to
save the life of little Maud Healey,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Healey,
of Blodgett Mills, Cortland county. and
the little one was at the point of death,
too weak for an operation for appendi-
citis, four cats were killed using the
skins to remove the inflammation. When
the first three had been used three
fourths of an hour, they were black
with poison. The fourth was used and
removed as white as when bound on.
Her life was saved and the little one is
rapidly improving"

FALL STYLES IN DRESS.


CAeAe SILK, white Tul1e and Lace
Are Important Factors.
Especial Correspondence
NEW YoRK. Aug. 6. "A most original
fancy has been developed in the max
ing up OF the ever beautiful chene silk
In its delicate and vague design and
coloring, and this consists in having
the whole gown covered with white
tulle. Malines might also be used, as
the effect would be about the same.
The illustration shows how the subject
is treated and what a dainty result is
achieved. The dress is made of the silk
in a soft design of large fower-de-luce
with the natural foliage. A founce
about eight inches is set on the bottom,
and the tulle Is gathered at the top Of
1t and brought around and under the
hounce in q sort of pun. Over the rest
Of the skirt there 10 an overskirt Of the
tulle with rows Of fine valenciennes in
sertion at intervals all around. At the
bottom, which is scalloped, there Is one
row of insertion and q ruff1e Of lace to
match. The waist and sleeves are
made and trimmed to match. and the
belt and a drapery at the left side are
made of a wide ribbon in the darkest
shade found on the flower represented
on the silk. The belt is made by hav-
ing two rows of the ribbon brought
around to give it the effect.
Lace as factor in woman's wear Is
to be even greater than ever, and SO
many of the new designs intended for
fall and even winter are made all of
lace that one cannot go amiss in get
ting such a gown for best home or
evening dress. Guipure is one of the
favorite laces when used as trimmings,
and very many handsome tea gowns
and other garments are entirely Of
piece lace and made separate so that
they can be slipped over lining in the
same shape of some favorite color.
Some of the lace gowns of this descrip-
ton have two or three different color
ed Innings. so that, with ribbons to-
match each different lining, one has al
variety. The point d'esprit and some of
the figured nets, and in fact there are
many kinds of all over lace, all Of
which are good for the purpose. The,
point d'esprit nets perhaps give the
best satisfaction for general use, and
when properly made and trimmed with
light lace ruffles and insertion nothing
could be prettier And one advantage,
with a lace dress is that it can be,
worn all winter if need be, while none
of the other delicate and flimsy cotton,
gowns can be.
Among the materials which can be-
worn in all seasons we find the wool,
Examines in faint and delicate shadesl
and tints. These. trimmed with heavy
ecru and string shades of linen gui-
pures will be much liked, and these,
will also be suitably trimmed With
Persian braidings or lace.
Skirts, always saving the Pedestrian
skirts, will be longer than ever and
very faring around the bottom. One|

A letter has been received at Mercer
by relatives of Charles Washburn, who
went from that section in 1898 to the
Klondike, containing the information
that Washburn had been killed in a
fight while defending his claim in the
gold fields. The letter was dated from
Little Snake River. Washburn was a
native of New Portland, where relatives
are living at the present time.

until his clothes and the barrel were well saturated. It was then o'clock. The crowd was growing. business in the city had practically been suspended and ali eyes were turned toward the scene. Tn an instant the match was applied. As if by an explosion the blaze quickly leaped skyward in voi- umes. The burning body could be seen only as a dark object in the. circle or a maddened, roaring flame. Then the fire lessened and the writhing body came back in full view. but already the groans had ceased and the only evi- dence of life was in the contortiops of the muscles of the limbs. For fifteen minutes the body burned, and in half an hour from the minute of the appli- cation of the match only the charred bones were left as reminder of the negro's horrible crime and his fate. The crowd dispersed as orderly as 1t had gathered, and at s:30 tonight the city is quiet.
