Tomorrow is the day that is schcd-
uled for the hearing at Wings Mills in
Mt Vernon on the flowage cases where
land owners sue the Maine Water Com
pany for damages sustained along the
banks OF the Messalonskee river. The
cases are pretty much in the hands of
Augusta attorneys, for Williamson d
Burleigh are the lawyers for the plain
tiffs, and Orvillc ID. Baker and Thomas
Leigh conduct the cases for the defend
ant corporation. Norman j. Bassett is
another Augusta lawyer to have
hand in it, for he is one of the com
missioncrs appointed by the supreme
court to assess the damages. His as
sociates on the commission are Moses
II. Leighton of Mt. Vernon, and Edgar
T.. Norton of Gardiner.

Front street had a visitor of an I'M
usual kind, about Z o'clock, last even
ing, and he was given a wide berth. 1t
is not known if he wanted to see about
whether there is coal enough in stock
at Augusta sheds to keep him warm,
next winter, or whether he was looking
for a chance to crafty his appetite for
fish, but a skunk came down to the
steamboat wharf and the grounds OF
the post office and made his customary
protest against being disturbed. Al
the Journal office it was necessary to
close the rear windows, and that only
shut out the thickest Of the smell
there was enough left to disturb the
peace and comfort of the whole night
crew and all the rest of the neiShbor-
hood, including the Abnaki Club. AS
skunk there is no doubt whatever that
that particular one is a success. But
lust think of the idea of it-a skunk
calmly vending his way down to the
heart of a city of dozen thousand IN
habitants, and then protesting against
the restraints of civilization. The Wlid
beasts of the city are commonly sup
posed to be the elephant, and the lion
and the tiger and the bear and the buli,
and sometimes the lamb, but the skunk
is new one.

Some of the boys who have been fish
around among the fish lovers of the
city, and found market for the cells
which they catch. An ordinary eel,
about is inches long, brings them fire
cents. The appearance of the eel is
probably the reason why few people
are found who have ever tasted that
toothsome fish. The writer recalls
with pleasure an eel pie served up be-
fore him at camp, a few years ago,
which was delicious enough to mark
an epoch in his gastronomic expert
ences. The cells were skinned, and
chopped into pieces a little smaller than
q hens egg, then put in Saleratus wa
ter and kept warm till they wrinklcd or
parboiled slightly. The pie was made
like scallopcd oysters, the junks of eel
stripped from the bone as well as
might be, taking the place of the oys-
tiers. No butter or other fat than that
in the meat of the fish was used. 1t
was sailed and spiced, and cooked the
same as scalloped oysters, the broken
crackers taking up the fat in good
shape. Served hot, it was so good that
one man ignorant of what he was eat
ing, passed his plate for second and
third helpings, and declared that he
never tasted anything so good before.
He was angry when he learned what it
was. but couldn't deny it's delicious
ness,

The inch worm caterpillars that have
been destroying the foliage of elm and
apple trees have done their work and
gone to the ground where they will feed
no more, but the next years crop is eX-
pected to be as vOracious as any of
their predecessors. In a very few in
stances they got so hungry that they
ate maple leaves. If the old saying is
correct that stripping a tree of its
foliage for three successive seasons will
kill it, the prospect of another vista
ton of these pests in 1904 is anything
but pleasant to Augusta people.

GIRL FIRST TO CLIMB
LOFTY PEAK IN ANDES
Annie Peck AscendS to the Top of
Mount Sorata.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Annie Peck. Of
New York, who has achieved fame as
mountain climber, accompanied by Dr.
W. G. Tight. president OF the University
OF New Mexico, and two Swiss guides.
has successfully aseended Mount Sorata
in Bolivia. the highest peak in the
Andes. This is the first time the summit
has been scaled
Miss Peck created somewhat of a SEN
sation several years ago by scaling the
Matterhorn in Switzerland, feat rarely
accomplished by any woman, and never
by an American woman. Afterward she
broke even her own record by climbing
to the summit of Orizaba in Mexico, the
highest mountain in North America, hav-
ing an elevation of 1850 feet above the
sea. She also did" the Presidential
Range in New Hampshire in one day,
the range including nine mountains from
5000 TO 5000 feet high. These are but
samples of her mountain daring in vari-
Gus parts OF the world.
The costume Miss Peck wears on these
trips above the clouds is striking. II
includes trousers OF duck canvas. with
leggins OF the same material, sweater,
sombrero securely tied under her de-
termined chin, and stout boots that have
been re-enforced with thick layers Of
leather on the soles and sides
Though Miss Peek has gained wide
as a scaler of mountain peaks.
she has also been a lecturer on Greek
archaeology. Following her graduation
from the University of Michigan she was
professor of Greek at Smith College. and
then went to Athens to the American
School of Archaeology.
