NOAH BROOKS.

There is something pathetic in the
death. in Pasadena, Cal, this week, re-
mote and isolated, of Noah Brooks, a
quarter of a century ago often in vel
come evidence in New York clubs and
newspapers. Vice-president of the
Letos Club during its earlier and
struggling years, helpful and genial in
dispensing it's hospitality to distin-
writer of Tribune" and Times" edi-
torials, with a wide acquaintance
among men of affairs. Mr.. Brooks was
for number of years one OF the best
examples of metropolitan citizen of
liberal culture, essential personal integ
rity and distinction. He came mature
by experience from the scenes OF hi
youth in Maine; from life on the prais
ries aud plains of the West and on the
Pacific slope: with contact and ac-
quaintance with President Lincoln and
the great civil and military leaders of
the war, with a remarkably complete
equipment for the duties of New York
journalism, and as an example OF type
rapidly passing and soon to be lost,
was one of the best and most individu-
al. Later years took him from New
York and from daily Journalism. but in
his books, for which the boys and young
men of America will long be debtors,
there was the same sturdy note of indie
pendence, of manliness, of contempt
for everything small and mean, of
patriotism and loyalty to all that is
high and good, which his personal
friends of the old days recognize and
cherish as the genuine expression of a
fine and true nature.-Brooklyn. n. Y,
Standard. Union.

of 47S, 9S1 gross tons for the previous fiscal
year. Vessels now under construction in

The principal decrease for the last year

AL WRONG.
THE MISTAKE IS MADE BY MANY
BELFAST CITIZENS.

Don't mistake the cause of backache.
To be cured you must know the cause.
1t is wrong to imagine relief is cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys
A pelfast re ;ident tells you how this can be
done.
Samuel L. Moore, two and half miles from
the business center, says: ~ have had attacks
of sharp pain in the small of my back and
through nv kidneys for a number of years.
When they were in the acute stage some morn
1ngs when got out of bed my back felt lame and
sore for two or three hours until moved about,
when it eased up little and relief followed.
ALWAYS noticed that during inclement weather,
or if caught cold, the attacks were much more
aggravated. At all events If not caused by hard
work in my younger days and heavy lifting, when
made an attempt at overexertion was always
rewarded with excruciating twinges across the
loins that on some occasions dropped what was
in nv hands, Advertisements about Doan's Kid

NEWS OF THE ORANGES.

Worthy Master Obadiah Gardner of Rock
land and other officers OF the State Grange
were entertained at Portland Aug. 21st by
the Cumberland county Changers. About
800 members were present.
Mr.. O. Gardner, master of the Maine
State grange, says that at the close of 1902
there were 31S subordinate oranges in
Maine, of which 17S own their halls. The
value of 17S halls with their furnishings is
put at $373,;530, an average Of more than
$1,000 apiece the value of the real estate
owned by subordinate oranges is $4,000.
making total value of $452,33o for subor-
dinate grange property in Maine. The
membership is $4,000, averaging 156 to each
grange. Three Maine oranges have more
than 600 members each while several have
more than 500.
The matter of the selection of a master of
the State Grange is clearing itself some
what, says an Augusta correspondent of the
Bangor Commercial. Master Obadiah Gard
ner of Rockland is in the field for another
term and is acknowledged to be strong.
U nder his leadership the order has grown
to over 10000 The point is made in his IA
vor that extensive business interests are in
volved, that there is large number of con-
sentative men in the Grange who are get
ting cheap and good insurance on their
property and that large portion of these
would like to continue the existing stable
and reliable leadership: On the other hand
there is opposition to Mr.. Gardner. Some
of his opponents supported Frank n. Ad-
ans of Bowdoinham, but recently Mr.. Ad--
ans has withdrawn and his support, it is
said, will go to Hon. J. A. Roberts of Nor
way, who Is now the only candidate against
Master Gardner. None but these two will
Mr.. Roberts is we'll known. He is grad
uate Of Bowdoin college and has served two
terms in the senate. He was candidate
for master Of the Grange against Mr.. Gard
ner at the last election.

Value of Apples.

AS the apple in prime condition will
soon be here again, it is well to remem-
Der, says the Cooking Club, that this
fruit contains larger percentage of
phosphorus than any other fruit or
vegetable. This phosphorus is admir-
ably adapted for renewing the essential
nervous matter of the brain. The acids
are also of great value for people of
sedentary habits whose livers are slug
gish in action, these acids serving to
eliminate from the body noxious mat
tiers, which if retained, would make the
brain heavy and dull, or bring about
jaundice or skin eruptions. Some such
experience must have led to the custom
of using apple sauce with roast pork
and similar dishes. The malic acid OF
ripe apples, either raw or cooked, neu-
tralizes any excess of chalky matter
engendered by eating too much. Apples
are useful as disinfectant for the sys-
TEN, and have considerable value as an
antidote for tobacco and liquor. Under
all conditions. and in all cases there is
no fruit so beneficial or harmless as the
apple.

YACHTS AND BOATS.


Elan Gilchrest has bought in Rockland
14-foot launch with horse power gaso-
line engine. and is repairing her for use in
the harbor.
l. NJ. Cottrell is building a handsome
launch for Mr.. Fuller of Hartland The
boat is 10 feet long, ceiled in hard wood'
and finished in walnut and pine.
Roy Coombs has just completed the
model for 45-foot yacht to be yawl-rigged.
This is rig that is becoming very popular
on our coast, and it is even better than
schooner rig for cruising. Those interested
in yachts should call at Cottrells boat shop
near the steamboat wharf and see this
model
The sloop yacht Rec, owned by VIM. L.
Howe Of Lincolnville, was dismasted in the
strong breeze of Sunday about noon off Isola
Bella, with Jasper Drinkwater of Lincoln
Vile and his family on board. No one was
injured. The yacht was taken in tow by the
launch owned by the FOlwells and towed
across the bay to Saturday Cove.
The cutter yacht Bayadere, of Boston.
had disaster in the Bay Aug. 10th, and
came to Belfast for repairs. Her owner,
Frank O. Wellington, general manager of
the Fore River Engine Co., Quincy Pont,
Mass, was on board with his wife and son.
They were cruising eastward, and left Cam
den for Castine Wednesday morning. When
near Turtle Head backstay parted. the
chain plates on the starboard side were
loosened, and a seam opened in the SIDE
The boat was headed for Belfast and arrived
here without further mishap. The damages
were repaired and the boat sailed for Bos-
ton Saturday. The Bayadere is an English
built yacht, IS feet over all, and came across
the Atlantic last winter under her own sail.
She is a typical British cutter with flush
deck, and is coppered above the bends.
The Boston Herald claims that Boston is
far ahead of New York as yachting city,
and in proof refers to the curious plumbers
| in some of the New York papers of large
circulation. For instance, in connection
with the cup races the Evening World print
, ed a sail plan of ninety-foot sloop under
the title of ga Yachting Dictionary with
Pictorial Definitions On this plan the
main boom topping lift was labelled the
"sheet'' and the preventer backstay from
the topmasthead was called the "man
Sheet AS still further innovation in
nautical terms, the bobstay was pointed out
to the reader eager for yachting lore as the
'martingale" In the same paper chart OF
the course located the Sandy Hook lightship
exactly halfway between Sandy Hook and
Couey Island, bunder that must have
| been apparent to any one who ever sailed
| in or out of New York harbor.

STEAMERS IN COLLISION.

The Cit of Bangor and the Frank Jones
Collide off Rockland Breakwater.
The steamers City of Bangor and Frank
Jones were in collision Off Rockland Break
water Wednesday morning, Aug. 18th.
Both were bound east. 1t was foggy at the
time The Frank Jones lost about 80 feet
of her bulwarks and her starboard wheel
was considerably damaged. She returned
to her wharf for repairs and has been with
drawn from service until further notice.
The City of Bangor proceeded to Bangor,
but when at Rockland that night on the re-
turn trip, it was found she had sustained
more serious injuries than was at first sup
posed, and she remained there FOR repairs.
One of the ga" frames, by the starboard
paddle-wheel, was broken and badly
sprung, and there were two cracks in the
hub of the paddle-wbeel The hub is about
20 inches in diameter. Chief Engineer
William Fox and his helpers worked all
night Wednesday and all day Thursday
making and fitting two tires for the hub, to
hold it secure until the boat arrived at Bos-
ton. She left Thursday night at $50 for
Boston and repairs were completed there
so that she was able to leave Boston for
Bangor at the usual hour Saturday, arrlv-
ing here about $50 a. IN. Sunday. Capt.
Arey of the City of Bangor, in his protest,
which has been filed, declares that the ac-
cident would not have occurred had not the
