Japanese consul here chartered a British

every facility by the Russian officials at
Port Arthur. After leaving Dalny ne en-

NEW YORK, Feb 1.-War in the far
East already has affected the silk piece
goods trade in the United States. The
prominent importing houses have just an
nounced advances Of 10 per cent. on
habutai and other silk fabrics manufac-
tured in Japan. They give as their reason
the fact that many of the operatives and
skilled hands in the various factories have
been drafted for war purposes and their
places cannot be filled. Stocks in Yokohama
and New York are decidedly light.

POOLING WITH REvol YER

shooting accident, which b,t for
most fortunate circumstance would
perhaps have had fatal results tool,
place at the factory boarding house,
at about $50 yesterday morning. AS
it is, however. the accident will proba-
bly, not have any more serious results
than to keep the victim confined to bis
room for 4 short time.
The accident was the result. as most
accidents are, of the careless hand,inp
of firearms. Arthur Clough, II wears
old. Of Worcester Mass, who is visit
ing his father in this city, and a voune
playmate named Bartell picked it IN
and began fooling with it. Clouph
knowing that the revolver was loaded
leaped toward his companion in order
to prevent Il discharging of the firearm
AS he did so. however, the thing was
somehow discllai ged. and the bullet ON
tered Cloush's abdomen. Very fortu-
E;teIv. the angle at which the bullet
was fired was such that it passed but
about onc-half an inch beneath the
skin and did not penetrate the abdo-
mnal wall at any place. After pass
the bullet came out again and landed
in the wall of the room.
Drs. Campbell and Tuell were quick
Iy summoned and after dressing the
wound said there would not be any Sc.
rious results, as it WAS simply a flesh
wound. Dr. Campbell stated that if
the angle at which the revolver was
discharged had been varied fraction
of an inch, the ball would doubtless
have penetrated the abdominal wall
and the case would have been most
serious one.
Young Clough was feeling in good
spirits when seen by the journal man,
and said he was having Il rather more
novel experience than most people have
when they are on vacations. A strange
coincidence is that Clough has once be-
fore been the victim of accidental
shooting, the other time the bullet en-
tering his leg.

ceives Two Letters of Appeal.

Of letters which come to him almost
daily. One of them said: Il wish you
would close up the place in Topsham
called. 1t is bad place. My hu;-
band goes there constantly and gets
drunk, spending the money for which
my children and myself are in need"
Another letter said: Il wish you

ing Il resort in Cumberland county,.
1T is debauching my son. He is there
much of his time. 1 wish all these
places could be closed. Why can't you
do it? 1t is your duty
Another letter asked the sheriff this
week to close up a place in West Bow
dom where hard cider was geeting the
people drunk.
He had a letter the other day begging
dom where hard cider was getting the
close up a place there where cider was
being sold
These letters are often pathetic and
moving. They show the need of moth
crs and wives, mostly. They are full Of
appeal
Evidently the writer's forget that an
Androscoggin sheriff has no executive
power in this line in Sagadahoc or
Cumberland.
When the writer is from Androscog-
gin something is doing at once.
The wives and mothers appreciate:
Or they should appreciate. And they
must also participate in this work for
the assurance Of continuance in office
of an officer whose faithfulness to his
official duty is such as to make him the
object of appeal from other counties.

KILLED BY HORSE.
Death of Edwin e. Merrill, Wednesda,
Night, at South Hope.

Hockland. Me-. Aug. Am investiga-
ton began, Thursday, into the cause
of the death of Edwin r. Merrill, aged
I62 years. Of South Hope. whose body
was found. late Wednesday night, be-
meath his horse on the bridge at the
foot of Grassy pond. eight miles from
here. Merrill was returning from this
city. While here he seemed in good
spirits. although he had been in i'll
health for some time.
The most plausible theory seemed to
he that he was fixing the harness when
the horse fell upon him. Life had been
extinct some time when the body was
found. Merrill formerly lived here, but
for several years had conducted a farm
at South Hope. A widow and three sons
survive him. He was a member OF the
