MISS BULL RECEIVERS.

Fearful Decline of Strength Completely Ar.
rested. Medical Skill had Almost Ex-
hausted Itself In Vain Attempts to Re.
lieve Her. A Remarkable Result.
The recovery of Miss Gertrude l.. Bull
from her long illness, the beginning Of
| which dates back to the spring of 1900, has
not only relieved wide-felt anxiety among
her many friends who had long despaired
of any improvement in her condition, but,
owing to the remarkable Obstinacy of the
case, is of great interest to the medical
world.
The attack of pneumonia, which seized
| her already weakened system in November
| of 1900 and threatened to carry her off, was
successfully resisted, after it had confined
! lowed it and fingered all through the fol-
lowing summer. 1t seemed impossible to
break it up or to restore her strength which
had been sadly undermined.
AllOpathic and homeopathic doctors tried
to help her but their best efforts could not
ges. Then she used some advertised modes
of treatment, but when she saw her con-
ditiOn daily grew more serious in spite of
all that was done, she for a while discOn-
tinued all medicine and gave herself up to
despair. ~ - s;+;on =. .,,s 49,; . o.,

GARDENING FOR OTHERS.

+! We would extend the influence of
good music and pictures and art objects
: to other homes. We would have the
perception of beauty become universal.
We have come into an epoch OF garden
lng-for-others. Not only have we i'm
proved our own front yard and back
yard, but we want similar improvements
made for the street side, the vacant lot,
the cemetery, the church premises, the
school ground, the park, the railway
property, the countryside: We have
come to feel that the public has rights
regarding beauty, as it has regarding
safety and sanitation. The traveller and
the resident demands that he be safe
from bodily harm, and that his health
be protected; time is coming when he
will demand also that his aesthetic sense
be not offended. We are coming to feel
that scenery belongs to the people, and
that it has value Scenery makes up
half of every settlement; what do per
sons drive around the city for it not to
see? Every street is scene. Scenery
| is as much an asset of a village or a city
as water supply and sewerage systems
are.
All this marks the rise of civic pride.
A city is no longer a collection of
houses. It is an organism. Consider
how the government of cities has Gen.
tralized and localized within the last
generation. 1t is not enough that a
city merely grows. 1t must grow SYM
metrically. Fifty years ago city lib
rary or park was not necessity; now
it is. We are coming into science OF
city building
There has emerged a new profession,
one that deals with outdoor art. This
profession has no name. Once it was
called landscape gardening, but it has
to do with much more than mere gar
dening or even artificial landscapes.
Later as now, it was called landscape
architecture, but it has to do with much
more than architecture, unless we use
the word in very large ard unfamiliar
sense. The truth is, this new profess
sion includes both landscape gardening
and landscape architecture, and much
more. 1t covers i'll its sweep the whole
out-of-doors, telling us where lies the
beauty in the landscape, what is the
artistic interest in the given hill or
plain, in what part of the landscape the
buildings would best be placed for artis-
tic effect as well as for utilitarlan pur-
poses, what styles of architecture will
comport best with the surroundings,
what general style of handling and sub
dividing will best suit the genius of the
place This new artist sees the whole
landscape with the architecture as
part of it, not merely landscape made
to fit the bindings. This artist gives
advice to the architect and engineer as
we'll as to the landscape gardener. He
sees things in the large, as a painter
artist does; but he is able to work out
his ideals III the small on occasion. He
may be both consulting advisor and
practitioner.-Mill Valley, Calf, Rec
ord.

Big Apple Crop Counted On.

The August reports of the apple crop
show that the yield of this season will be
about 80 per cent greater than that of the
previous year, and that it will be about Il
per cent above the average for the last ten
years. Some dealers estimate the crop for
the current year as high as 70.O00,0OO bar
relS.
New York is among the largest apple pro-
ducers in the East, and it is estimated that
its crop will be about II per cent larger than
last year. Favorable advices are also re-
ceived from New England States. The re-
ports from Kansas, Illinois and Indiana,
the principal apple growing States of the
Middle West, are that there will be larger
yield in that section, and Washington and
Oregon also send favorable reports, the for
mer estimating the crop at about per cent
greater than last year and the latter expect
ing gain of IL per cent.
The expectations of apples last year were
very large, being valued at IS, 1894. and
there are indications that there will be a
larger supply available for export this year.
The conditions of the apple crop in Europe
this year, however, are reported good, and
the demand, therefore, may be less than
fOrmerly.-N. Y. Tribune.

THREE GENIUSES.
A. j. H., C. ID. and j. c. Turner of Isle au

Clarence u. Turner and A. J. II. Tur-

recently on business. With their broth

father, the late Captain Ezra Turner.
was born and lies buried, they repre-
sent in the highest degree what success
men can achieve in various callings in
spite of the obstacles presented. For
instance A. J. H. Turner is the most
expert fancy iron worker probably in
this country. His model blacksmith
shop is the gathering place of tourists
in summer who linger long for chat
with the forge artist who FORCES any
thing from pen stock and souvenir
spoon to great andirons of wondrous
beauty and from paper cutter to an
anchor. Samples of his handiwork
adorn many a fireplace in Names
swell summer cottages and those who
have been in the Maine State log cabin
at st. Louis have no doubt been at
tracted by the emblematic fireplace
adornments of the great stone fireplace
i'll the building, consisting of handsome
wrought iron moose and deer heads
and fire irons typical of Maine. These
were made by Mr.. Turner by order Of
the Maine commission and attest bet
ter than further comment the artistic
genius of the Isle au Haul smithy. The
interior of the blacksmith shop is as
clean and odorless as a well-kept par
lor In front lies the Isle au Haut
Thoroughfare and by the door runs the
single road that encircles the island.
Like Matthias in THE Bells" Trial
Justice Turner settles all islanders dis
putes and all come to him for counsel
and advice. Frequently he holds court
in his shop and none of his decisions
are appealed from, based as they are
upon sound common sense and an ex-
perience covering long period of life.
Although far from the. hustle and hus-
tie of life the positions of kuropatkin'S
army and the: movements of kuroki's
troops are followed, as he is an Omniv-
orous reader of the daily papers and in
close touch with affairs. He is also first
selectman of Isle au Haut.
Clarence d. Turner can build yacht,
or schooner, and good one, too; built
the big Point Lookout club house and
all of the fine summer cottages on the
island; frequently assists in shoeing
horses, is a good civil engineer, laid out

Mr.. Turner advocates the annexation

through his progressiveness had an APP

build stretch of road which forms the
connecting link in the island drive.

Murders in Mississippi.

Carnival of Crime in a Southern State.
MERIDEN, Miss, Sept. 6, 1904. A carni-
val of crime and murder has held sway in
Mississippi this year. For the eight months
ending Sept. there have been 500 murders
committed, chiefly among the lower classes
and negroes. SO common has murder be-
come in almost every county that law and
order organizations are being generally
formed. Every circuit judge in Mississippi
is denouncng the lax conditions.
In charge to the grand jury, Circuit
Judge d. n. Miller said: 'In murders
Mississippi leads the States, regardless of
population. No people can prosper with
this carnival of crime continuing"
Judge Miller assigned as cause for this
large number of murders the fact that the
people have had too much money, with
which they have gambled and bought whis-
'sThe value of negro labor has never been
so high" said Judge Miller, land the negro
feels, because he knows his boss will pro-

DASH FOR THE POLE.
Peary Prepared to Make Another One Mex
Summer.

Summer.
NEW YORK, Sept. Is. Commander
Peary, the Arctic explorer, announced
last night that a contract has been
signed for a new Arctic ship which he
is to use in another attempt to reach
the North Pole and that he expects to
| start north next summer.
The announcement was made at a
dinner rendered by the American Geo
graphical Society to those in attend
ance upon the eighth international geo.
graphical congress, which is being held
here. Commander Peary, who presid-
ed, delivered an address, and said in
part:
Tonight have the pleasure of say
ing to you that the contract for my
new Arctic ship has been signed and
that her keel is being laid now This
means that the expedition upon which
| have been putting my energies for
the past two years is lifted out of the
realm of uncertainty, and that if | am
alive | shall start north again next
summer in another attempt upon the
North Pole.
at does not mean that l have all the
money necessary, bul it does mean that
| have now until the first of next July
in which to secure the additional funds
necessary to fit out and equip the ship,
and do not believe that my country
men would permit the expedition to
fail for lack of this additional neces-
sary funds.
''The ship will, | believe, be the abb
est ship that ever pointed her nose in
side the Arctic or Antarctic circle She
Will possess such shape as will enable
her to rise to the pressure of the ice
foes and escape destruction. She will
possess such features of bow as will en-
able her to smash ice in her path, and
will contain such engine power as will
enable her to force her way through
the ice.
''ln maximum dimensions, viz: length
over all, breadth Of beam and draft,
this ship will be of the size of the Brit
ish Antarctic ship Discovery; in dis
placement she will be somewhat less:
i'll power she will compare with our
largest ocean going tugs.
'My plan of campaign in very few
words is to force this ship to the north
shores of Grant Land, taking on board
at Whale Sound the pick and flower of
the EsQuimauX. with whom | have
lived so long; to go into winter quarters
on that shore, and to start with the
earliest returning light on the sledge
journey across the central polar pack,
utilizing these Esquimaux, the people
whose heritage is life and work in that
very region, entirely of the rank and
file of my party

Capt. James w. Bennett
Passes Highest in Civil Service Examina
ton Over College Graduates.

Passes Highest in Civil Service Examina-
ton Over College Graduates.
PORTLAND, Sept. 49, OF the many
civil service examinations held in this
city perhaps one of the most remark
able was that which called together a
score of competitors for the position of
captain of the new steamer of the quar-
termasters department, to be assigned
to Portland waters. The examination
was a written one, very comprehensive
and searching, with many questions
which did not appear to bear particu-
larly upon the duties of a steamboat
captain.
Many bright young men struck snags,
and some of the older ones slipped up
altogether on educational questions.
Capt. James w. Bennett of Brooks,
Me-, was recently announced as the
winner Capt. Bennett is now in CON-
mand of the U. S. steamer Henry Will
son, at salary something better than
$500 year. He obtained percentage
of 81, considered remarkably high for
this examination.
Capt. Bennett has been out of school
for 30 years, but he did better with
many of the mathematical problems
than some of the college graduates:
when it came to the technical part he
was entirely at home. Capt Bennett
comes of race of steamboat men, He
has been in command of many craft,
and at the time of his appointment to
the Wilson was master of r. H. Whites
big steam yacht Peregrine. He is q
pilot for the whole New England coast
and one of the best shipmasters in the
business.

LEAVING THE COAST.
Zig Vessels to Continue War Against Coal
Men.


Men.
''The schooner Cordelia E. Hayes
cleared Sept. 14th for Norfolk from
Portland and from there will 90 to
Porto Rico with cargo of coal. The
schooner John B. Coyle also cleared
from Portland for Norfolk. The Port
land Press says that these vessels have
been in port several weeks, having
hauled up on account of low freight
rates, the owners of the large vessels
along the Atlantic coast having made
an agreement not to accept charters
except at certain rates, according to
the distance to be carried. The vessel
owners have been very firm in their
demands, and in the meantime the
small vessels have been reaping the
benefit by carrying all the coal they
could, and as fast as they could, max
ing the trips at lower rates than asked
by the larger vessels. The large vessel
owners have practically come to an
understanding in the matter and grad
ually the vessels are being put back
into service at practically the rates
which formerly prevailed"
prominent Bath vessel owner saws
that the above information is far from
being correct. He says the largest yes
sci owners are, instead Of weakening, as
firm as at the start.
The charters referred to among the
large vessels indicate movement to
drop the coal business and seek other
trades. Several of the Palmer fleet
have been chartered to 60 out after
phosphate rock. The owners are not
going to give in, but have agreed to
hold out in their efforts to secure bet
ter freights. Not one of the large YES
sci owners who signed the agreement
has chartered for over a month.

The Barber's Idea.

The other day while we were being
shaved, the barber said: "PeOple don't go
to political rallies as much as they used to !;
they don't need to. All they need do is to
look around and see that they and their
neighbors are doing better than they ever
than ever was, why should want q
change in the administration, and if my
neighbors are, why should they?"
The barber isn't politician, but he
looks at the matter in a common sense way
and that has been proved great many
times the safest thing to do.-Piscataquis
