HAVE MANY STRANGE Beliefs
Superstition Strong Characteristic
of the Mohammedan.

Mohammedans of India are very
superstitious. No Mohammedan will
take a bath on Sunday or Tuesday.
But if one bathes on Wednesday all
misfortunes and misery that are in
store for him till the next Wednes-
day will be averted. AS rule all
Mohammedans bathe on Fridays be-
fore going to perform the jumma
prayers. For donning new clothes
Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday are re-
garded as bad days. Ii anyone dons
new dress or puts on a new cloth
or allows his tailor to cut a piece of
new cloth on these days he will live
a miserable life till that dress or
cloth gets torn or is thrown away If
a shirt is torn and If the wearer wants
to stitch it, it must be taken Off, for
if it is stitched while it is on the body
the person will soon die A Nioham-
medan viii never allow a barber to
come near him on Tuesdays, for Tues
days and also Saturdays and Sundays
are bad days for shaving purposes.
It absolutely necessary he viii get
himself shaved on Saturday or Sun
day, but never on Tuesday, as his star
is supposed to fall in blood if he does
60. If one receives money or some
valuable thing it is taken with the
right hand. for if it is taken with the
left the person receiving it is said to
forget all about it very soon or to mis-
lay it. A devout Mohammedan will
not start On a journey on Wednesday,
for it is believed he will never return
home safely if he does So AND it is
said that even a snake never ventures
cut of its hole on this day

NARROW ESCAPE

Of Edward Finn From Awful Death.
Rescued by James G. Blaine.
Edward Finn, OF Ellsworth Falls, and
employed by the New England telegraph
and telephone company, had a narrow
escape from death Friday afternoon.
Finn was working on the top OF pole
with another lineman cutting out dead
wires. One of the wires slackened and
fell across live one, which was carrying
current of 5000 volts. The wire came in
contact with F,nn's body. At the time
Finu was standing with one leg over the
cross tree of ;he pole as the linemen dc.
AS the current passed through Finn's
body he fell backward but was prevented
from falling by having his leg over the
cross tree.
James G. Blaine, who is stopping in
Augusta, heard the mans cries, and real
izing his danger, climbed the pole, and
placed rope round Finn's body, lower
ing it to the ground.
Finn was unconscious and smoke was
pouring from his mouth and from under
his arms. He had slight hemorrhage at
the mouth and slight cash on the back
of his head.
He was taken to the hospital and restor-
atives applied.
Mr.. Finn is improving rapidly and it is
thought he viii be able to leave the
hospital the last of the week

who takes i'll this fair can fail to get bis
moneys worth.
This is one of the few country fairs
where there is no horse-trotting-no even
a track. But the exhibits of agricultural
products, livestock, fancy and art work
not to mention the side.shows and the
dances, all go to make this annual event
one of the most interesting, entertaining

NO JOKING.
Bangor Liquor Dealers Getting what
was Promised Them.

was Promised Them.
The liquor dealers in Bangor are
beginning to get scared. The first indi-
shown last week when two rumsellers
were sent to jail for six months at hard
labor. These two cases were demurred
from the February term. On an indict-
ment this term the same men we're fined
200 and costs and besides six months in
jail.
The jail sentence on indictments is sus-
pended, Dut the complaint on search and
seizure cases fled. These two men,
therefore, must pay $500 and serve six
months in jail.
In addition they each have eight
months in jail hanging over them in case
OF future violation OF the law.
Judge Peabody, before passing sentence,
said that he did not understand that the
prohibitory law applied less to Penobscot
stood very well the original plan by
which Bangor dealers had been immuned
for SO long, but he would not be party
to the continuance of such plan. Suiii-
cient warning was given last February.
1t is no more than right or just, he said,
that persistent offenders should be se-
vereIy punished.
1t would seem by this that the famous
Bangor "pian" had come to an abrupt and
painful painful for the liquor dealersl
