Rockland is about to nave the luxury
of messenger service of the A. D. 7.

for the lazy ones, if there are any such
in Rockland.
The people of Eastbrook see freak
of nature every day which is worth
looking at. for Winfield Jordan of that
town has a horse on his farm which
sports a moustache on his upper
lip. 1t parts evenly under his nose, the
long, stiff hairs growing out on each
side under the nostrils with such regu-
larity that anyone would think they
were waXed, for they end in CIRCUS
points and make the most dandified
looking equine that ever lived.
Prospects of a trolley line from Cam
den to Belfast are Frightening. Presi-.
dent Macomber Of the r. T. & C. street
railroad says regarding the survey now
being made of the Camden elfaSti
route: II think we will build that line
in preference to the Warren extension
to Togus. At present the cost CT ma
terial of construction is SO high
that all electric companies are
waiting for lower prices. The
possibilities of the Camden-Belfast
| branch are great. 1t opens the
| door to Bangor. We cannot state NOW
our plans definitely but we are to
haze q thorough survey made which
runs around Duck Strap to LINCOLN
vile, passes through Northport and on
to Belfast"

property, tents, ETC., of Sautelle's cir
Gus on actions brought by 20 persons,
who were injured by the collapse of the
main tent, during the violent wind
storm on July 2, at Machias. The pro-
prietors Of the circus say that they
deny all liability. That the wind

came so suddenly upon them that the
accident could not be avoided by any
means in their power. They say the
tent was made especially for use in the
West and Is what is called a wind
prof tent and that all necessary pre-
cautions for the safety of the people,
who we're present had been taken.
After the accident they did everything
possible for the relief and care of the
injured and there their duty ceased.
The velocity of the wind at the time
of the accident jumped from miles to
| 40 miles per hour in almost an instant,
and this they say could not be forescen
by them and comes under that class of
cases under which they would not be
liable. They express determination
to fight the suits and interesting trials
may be the result.
When Bishop O'Connell of Maine,
| was rector of the North American col
lcge in Rome he became intimately
known to Pope Leo XIII. and was in
vested with the dignity of Domestic
Pralate of the Vatican. In 1901 Bishop
O'Connell was consecrated in st. Johf
| Lateran by Cardinal Satolli and the
Pope took q deep personal interest IN
the conservation ceremony. Monday
in an interview Bishop OConnell gave
the following apprecition of Leo Kill.
the interest of which is enhanced by
the bishops personal acquaintance
with the venerable Pontiff. Bishop
lO'Connell said: 1--WE hear the bad
news which seems to indicate thai
the Holy Father is nearing his END
and at his age and with so grevious al
infirmity it seems there must be some
truth in the rumor. AT least so it is
with ordinary men, but when 1t Is
question of a man of such energy anC
vitality as Leo XIII. we are not tt

Several times he has been on the edge
t of the grave, but has recovered. or
one of these occasions he said to an at
tendant who remarked upon his con-
| tinued vitality, that God was evidently
preparing his successor, but that hi
was not yet ready. The evident sym
pathy and interest which the whole
r world of every race and creed has
$ evinced at this note of alarm proves
again the emphatic way in which Lee
XIII. has stamped his personality OF
, his time. 1t is a great thing to say o
y any human being, however grand his
ability. that he has filled the lofties
position in the world WELL In thu
twenty-five years of his reign there has
arisen no question which interested
humanity that escaped his searching
