court, Wednesday. and removed to the

ges for the alleged disturbance of his
sumbers in the early morning by the
growing of Mr. Monks roosters

on May l. and since has owned large
number of hens. chickens and cocks,
which at unreasonable hours of the
night made divers loud, shrill annoying
and disturbing noises, which deprive
the plaintiff of his sleep, from and after
80 in the morning. The writ further
alleges that the cocks are kept within

COULD COOK.
But Couldn't Eat.

A man who has seen many years
sailing as cook on the finland Seas,
as the Great Lakes are called, mas
learned thing or two about food as
the following story shows:
Il am a cook on the Great Lakes and
have for five years suffered more than
zen or tongue could tell from stomach
trouble and have taken medicines
enough to float the boat I sail in, and
yet without any relief from pain.
There were long stretches of time
when | could not even keep milk or
Wine or the lightest kind of food on my
stomach and | had fallen away from
145 to 105 pounds in less than two years
saw so much in the newspapers about
your food Grape-Nuts that one day |
decided to try it although without the
least hope of success.
so | bought a package in Cleveland
and made the trial and my stomach
was 50 cranky / was afraid to try more
than one teaspoonful with a little milk.
To nv surprise | kept it on my Stom-
ach without any bad feelings and at
the end of an hour | knew it had di-
gested and gone to the right spot so l
tried two teaspoonfuls more with the
same result And now for the past
seven months | have lived almost en-
tirelv on Grape-Nuts where before |
simply lived on medicines which con-
sisted principally of opiates that re-
lived me for a time but shattered my
nerves and weakened my stomach.
"Soon after I began GrapeNuts ]
gave up all medicines for I saw that
Grape Nuts was remaking me. Now
NV nerves are back in their proper
shane and my stomach is so strong l
can eat almost any kind Of food with
out any suffering whatever.
at may interest YOU to know that
vour food is very fine in cases of sea-
| sickness for in this line it has no equal.
| In many cases of very rough water |
have given Grape-Nuts to people on my
boat who were seasick. when the sight
of even coffee would be unbearable. but
A few teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts pre-
pared with only water was taken and
more asked for and given With per-
| feet results.
"you never saw two healthier or hap

children who eat nothing else for
breakfast or supper but Grape-Nuts
There are two other men on my boat
besides myself who eat nothing else but
Grape-Nnts for breakfast. Had it moi

SIX LIVES LOST
Schooner John Booth Sunk by
Steamer H. M. Whitney.
Captain and One Sailor Saved by
Whitney and the Maine.
a Passenger, Mr.. Gorham of Gloucester,
Among the Lost.

Stonington, Conn.,, Aug. 27.-The
three masted schooner John Booth
from Long Cove, Me-, for New York,
was run into and sunk during the
night by the Metropolitan Line steamer
II. M. Whitney of Boston, just west
of the New Haven harbor, and five
members of the crew and one passen-
ger We're lost. Captain Thomas of the
Booth, was rescued by the Whitney,
while of the crew, Carl A. Hessel.
colored, was picked up by the steamer
Maine of the Stonington Line. Those
lost were:
Frank Saunders, cook Peter Bliden.
sailor; William Alexander, sailor; Will
liam Fees, sailor; mate:
Mr.. Gorham, passenger, Gloucester,
Mass.
The disaster was reported by the
officers of the steamer Maine, which
arrived, today, from New York. The
steamer sighted the Booth just before
she went down and her boats We're
put overheard to assist boats from the
Whitney and the Pilgrim from the Fall
River Line, which We're trying to reach
the crew of the Booth. The schooner
had been struck about midShips and
her side crushed in. 1t is thought that
had her cargo been buoyant the Booth
would have floated long enough to have
made possible the rescue of the others
of her crew. AS she was granite laden
she settled quickly and was beneath
the surface before the boats could get
near her. One of the Whitney's boats
reached the captain of the Booth and
one of the Names boats rescued Hes
sci, who had jumped from the
schooner and was swimming. The boats
of the three steamers cruised about
for nearly an hour, searchlights being
used over the water.
Eessel on recovering from his stupor
was unable to give much additional
information but made it appear that
he was at the wheel himself having
taken it from the captain. He says
the weather was clear but the night
dark and that he had no warning of
the steamers approach. He thinks he
was struck by a boom and knocked
overheard. He claims the Booth was
cut in two between the fore and main
rigging, but the officers of the Maine
think her side was crushed in, as the
schooner was ahoat for a few minutes.
The schooner John Booth hailed from
New London, CT, where she was built
in 1892 and was of Ala tons.

Dr.. G. NJ Twitchel of Augusta. in
speaking of the cattle show at the fair,
to a Journal correspondent said:
I'VE have seen larger exhibits of cat
tie at the fair in the 20 previous exhib-
ition. but never has the standard been
50 high as it is this year. Take a walk
around the cattle sheds and look at the
animals there displayed, then come
back and tell me what you think. If
you do not say that it is the finest lot
of cattle that You have ever seen here
| shall be greatly Mistaken
Look at the Holsteins. Herefords
Ayrshiers, Durhams and Short Horns
which are shown, and you will find
that they are the most superior ami
mails which have ever been exhibited
On these grounds.
las | have said, there have been
more cattle shown on the grounds than
there are this year. and among them
would be some exceptionally fine ami
mails, but the standard OF the entire ex
hbit has always fallen far short OF
that of this year This years show
ing is more gratifying to the cattle
raisers of the State and ought to bear
more fruit"

FLEET DESTROYED
After the Bluejackets Had Cap
tured Long Island.
And In the War Game, Latter Event
0utweighs the Former.
Looks as Though Portland MAY Be
Looks as Though Portland May Be
Captured by Enemy.

Portland. Me-, Aug. 27.-The events
today, We're considered the most i'm
portant since the hostile fleet first APP
peared off Portland. The navy made
a grand coup in the capture of Long
island in the forenoon while the army
made a spectacular play in the de-
struction of all the II opposing ships
that attacked the coast defences in
the afternoon. The navy, however
seems to have had a little the best of
it. for, strange as it may seem, the
capture of Long island was considered
more important than the destruction
of the II vessels.
Long island has been declared out
of the game until tomorrow night at
9 o'clock. and thus the big search
lights will not be working, which will
be of almost inestimable value to the
navy. On the other hand, after sun
set the destroyed Warships went back
into commission again. The Hartford
fought with the fleet and although a
training ship, has been used as a cruis-
er. evidently.
The movements last night and early
today, We're not of great Importance.
None of the big ships took part. Sew
eral of the gunboats and small cruisers,
too, tried to get landing parties on the
various Notifications, but We're re-
pulsed.
No regular attack was expected, to-
;o.t, Int - hat 10, IN 10

to capture some of the forts.

Bright skies, pretty girls. lots of EN-.
| jolly boys. good horses sleek cattle and
a big crowd made today the biggest of
the fair. Where they all came from is
one of the mysteries of things, for it
didn't seem as though there was any
crowd in the city at all, until you got
down upon the fair grounds. That the
attendance was larger than that of
yesterday is unquestioned. To estab-
fish this it was only necessary to take
look at the grandstand and then
cast your eyes over the remainder Of
the ground. Look where you would
and there was a crowd of people to be
seen. That it was some thousand in
excess Of yesterdays attendance is GER
tain. From the north. east and west
trains and boats brought eXcursionists
today. They came to see the fair, spend
money and have 4 good time, which
they did. The races of the day We're of
"a better quality than yesterday, which
was appreciated by those in attend
ance.
Another successful balloon ascension
was made by Prof. Bonnette this af-
ternoon. which was enjoyed by all, for,
while there is nothing particularly new
and novel in the balloon ascension and
parachute jump. it furnishes something
for the crowd to look at and speculate
upon and that has large amount to do
with the pleasure of the day so far as
the crowd is concerned. If they don't
have something to talk about they
don't have any kind of a time. Give
them something over which they can
exercise their jaws and you will find
that they are enjoying every moment
of the time.
esAmong the visitors of prominence to
the grounds, today, was Congressman
|LleWcllyn Powers of Houlton. The
congressman same down in the early
part of the afternoon, stayed an hour
oi two and then returned to his ouer-
ters at the Bangor House

No attraction on the grounds does q
bigger business than the merry GO
round. 1t is constantly loaded with
riders. the intermissions between the
rides scarcely lasting more than a min
ute. being only sufficiently long to en-
able the riders to leave the machine
and new patrons take their places.
And those who ride are not. as may
be supposed, all young people. Lots
of groWnup men and women, some
with gray hair. enjoy a ride on the
go-round just as we'll as does the
youngest boy or girl on the grounds.
Yesterday. it is said, the man who
runs the machine took over $500 in
| fare on it. That includes both day
and evening. AS rule, the ride is
of five minutes duration, but some
times. when there is big crowd
around all anxious to ride, they are
| cut short. Last year, on Roosevelt

CHINESE BOY
TURNS THIEF
PrOprietreSs of a Stockton
Street LOdging-HOuse Loses
$4,000 in Coin and Jewels

The detective department is work
ing to locate a Chinese boy who robbed
Miss Daisy Hill, the proprietress Of a
lodging house at $40 Stockton street
Of $4,000 in coin and jewelry. The thief
was in the employ of the woman for
over three years, and until last Mon
day afternoon, when he disappeared
with his plunder, was regarded as an
honest servant.
Miss Hill told the detectives who
were detailed on the case that the
money and Jewels were concealed un-
der a mattress in her room There was
$3.50 in coin and about 800 in jaweII'y
The jewelry included three diamond
rings. 1t was the duty of the Chinese
to clean up the various apartments,
and it was nearly noon when he reach
ed those occupied by the landlady. The
latter left the house soon afterward
and did not return until late in The
afternoon. 1t was evening before she
discovered the theft and notified the
police.
The Chinese servant, who is known
as All Lun, disappeared with the
money and valuables. other occupants
of the house say that he left the place
hurriedly after arranging Miss Hills
room. The captain Of detectives at
once dispatched men into the Chinese
district to locate the man if possible
and arrest him. His haunts- were vis-
tied, but no clew of him can be found.
it is supposed he left the city immedi-
ately, and orders for his detention have
been telegraphed to several of the in
terror towns. The police have reason
to suppose that he will make an at
tempt to reach China, and all the out
going steamers in the direction Of the
Orient will be watched.
