The gambling game that has
been in progress on the New York
Stock Exchange for some months
past does rot seem TO have the
least effect upon the Legitimate in
dustrles OF the country. The
time has passed when this faro
game, with engraved certificates
as chips is looked upon by gen.
uine merchants as anything but a
game of chance with a crooked
dealer behind the layout. In
dead, the New York stock ex-
change has fallen into disrepute,
and whether stocks are up or
stocks are down the producers and
manufacturers of America care
but little, regarding the Pierpont
Morgans, the Gates, father and
son, and the whole raft of lesser
fry with an indifference that
savors strongly of contempt.

Last Saturday there was paid
out over the counters of our Mari
on banks, in sums ranging from
s. to $50, something in excess of
$4,000 This is but one of the
many paydays that have become
common in this city. This money
permestes to every corner of the
county, being received for mining
ore, transportation of ores, and
the various branches of the mi
ming industry. Two companies
only we're represented in this dis
tribution OF cash. There is scarce
ly a Monday or Saturday du-
ring the year that some one
more of our mining companies do
not utilize in paying their labor
rolls.

The Lucille mining company are
running a level on their vein of
fiuor spar and zinc ore at depth
of lis feet, Several cars of huor
spar have recently been shipped
from this property, the zinc ore
being piled up awaiting the pro-
per machinery for it's concentra-
ton. With Stopping ground open
ed the yield of ore should be ma
terially augmented and .thelvalue
of the property decidedly increa-
sed. It's situation on the railroad
near the Marion station gives this
mine most decided advantages,
in the matter of transportation for
the present at least, over nearly all
of our productive properties.

The early building of two spurs
by the |. g. railroad through
the productive mining regions of
this and Livingston county is
practically assured. The route
taken by one will be from Mexico,
a station some eight miles south
of Marion. touching at the Hod sc
mine, the Stevens fire clay depos-
it, and the Cullen mine, the term
mus being Salem. The other will
run from Marion down through
the Reed Mining company's pro-
perty, to the Columbia mine, Crit
tenden Springs, aud the Old Jim
and Lady Farmer mines.

MAINE LIBRARIES.

Miss Cora Jordan has resigned her
position as librarian at Seal Harbor
public library.
Miss Rebecca Burnham. for p years
connected with the Cherryfield public
library, has resigned her position.
Miss Lillian Quimby, for several
years a teacher in WestbroOk Seminary,
has accepted the position Of librarian
Of Westbrook's handsome public IL
brary.
The Fort Fairfield public library has
been moved to more convenient quar-
ters, and during the fall and winter
months will be open every week day.
Miss Pauline Knight is librarian.
Ten years ago the ". c. I. l. OF
Rangeley, made a small beginning in
the way Of a public library for that
town. The many summer visitors 10
Rangeley Lakes have manifested much
interest in the project and from time
to time have given generous donations
Of books and periodicals and gifts OF
money. This summer the interest has
not only continued. but has rapidly in
creased at the Rangeley Lake House,
and during the past month has taken
such a definite form that a fine lot for
library building has been purchased.
A public meeting was held ut the
church to discuss the matter and
large number Of residents and visitors
were present. 1t is now hoped to build
a library building costing about $4,000.

HE ANSWERED ADVERTISEMENTS

A man who answered advertisements
in ''cheap story papers" has had some in
teiesting experiments, says an exchange.
He learned that by sending 81 to Yam
kee he could get cure for drunkenness.
Sure enough he did. Itwas to 'take the
pledge and keep it." Later on he sent
so 2-cent stamps to find out how to raise
turnips successfully. He found out
'just take hold of the tops and pull. )"
Being young, he wished to marry, and
sent 81 l-cent stamps to find out how to
make an impression. When the answer
came it read, Sit down on pan Of
dough-" 1t was little rough, but he
was patient man and thought he would
yet succeed. Next advertisement he
answered read, "How to double your
money in six months" He was told to
convert his money into bills and fold
them and he would see his money doub-
led. Next he sent for twelve useful
household articles, and got package OF
needles. He was slow to learn, so he
sent 81 to cut out 'how to get rich"
"Work like the devil and never spend
cent" And that stopped him, but his
brother wrote to find out "How to
write letter without the use of pen or
ink" He was told to use lead pencil.
He paid 81 to learn GLOW to live with
out work." He was told on postal card
to 'Fish for suckers as we do"

A FARMERS TRUST

Down in Virginia the farmers are
right in line with modern methods. AT
any rate they have organized a trust, and
trusts are truly product of the present
day. A farmers combine is something
new under the sun, but that the scheme
is practical and profitable has been DEM
onstrated by the farmers in two counties
OF Virginia, Accomomac and Northamp-
ton.
For number of years prior to the or
ganization the crops of the peninsula
comprising these two counties had sold
at ruinous prices. Irish and sweet pota-
toes are the principal produts, and these
often sold as low as 25 cents barrel.
OF course, such conditions as these were
not endurable, and at length mass
meeting was held, at which committee
was appointed to find some plan for the
marketing of the farmers products. At
ter several meetings the committee
worked out plan copied in some degree
after the workings of the larger trusts of
the country.
Officers were elected and solicitor
sent out to secure subscriptions to stock
and to organize the farmers into separate
divisions.
