70 YEARS AGO
Mrs. Julia A. Joy of Saco Oldest Maine
Member Methodist Church.

Saco, Me-, Aug. 12.-Mrs. Julia A.
Joy of this city. who has just celebrated
her 9th birthday anniversary, claims
the distinction of being one of the old
est, if not the oldest, member of the
Methodist Episcopal church in Maine.
having been baptized and taken into
the Methodist church in this city ~
yc.irS ago.
Her chief characteristic in life has
been her int. rest IN her church, which
became positive enthusiasm and has
increased rather than diminished as
she gradually approaches the century
mark. During all the years of her life
she has attended church when her
health permitted. Pain or shine she
could be found in her pew, Sunday
morning. She always attended the
evening meetings on Sundays and
weekdays.
She has read the bible through six
times. She is a Methodist of the old
fashioned kind, and she styles herself
ana old-fashioned Christian. She does
not believe in reading the newspapers
on Sunday, and thinks the running of
i, trolley cars and steam trains is wrong
and should not be allowed. She is
heartily in sympathy with the steps
taken by Rev. f. G. Wentworth, pre-
siding elder Of the Portland district of
the Methodist churches and others of
the clergy to put Il stop to Sabbath
breaking at Old Orchard. The church
she thinks is the place where people
should go on Sunday. instead of gall
wanting" to some resort on the trolley
ears.
She saws that the women devote too
much time to dress. The new tangled
hats" she AYERS look like Il big flower
garden and she says no money would
hire her to wear one. When she was
young she says the mill girls trimmed
their Sunday bounets with rooster
feathers. and She thinks the women
looked as pretty and well dressed then
as they do today.
Mrs. JOY is good seamstreSS and un-
til recently could do the finest kind of
needle work. She has been working for
some time past on a silk quilt. During
her long life has made hundreds of
Quilts.
1t is q common custom for her to en-
quotations. for she can repeat many
chapters Of the Bible by heart. She has
always been known for her sweet. quiet
disposition. and non of these qualities
seem to have been diminished by the
advance of time.
Mrs. Joy was born in South Lining
ton. She learned TO read. write and
"fgger" in the little schoolhOuse about
4 mile from her fathers farm. At the
age of II she came to Saco. where she
went TO work in the weave room Of the
York cloth mills. Pay was small in
those days, but by frugality she man.
aged to save enough to, send her pa
rents Il dollor or so every few weeks.
After the mills We're burned here she

worked in 4 cotton factory for several
years. At the age of &c she married
John JOY. a schoSmate. and they went
t. Li.nington tot live There she re-
manned until her husband died. &c years
ago Since that tirpe she has made her

China May Be Involved

Washington, Aug. 12.-The report of

Consul General Fowler's cablegram. to-
day, was received with the deepest In

the germs of serious international
trouble
Mr.. Fowler smoke of the affair 40 a
cutting ont expedi: ion" thereby differ
ing in an important point from the press
GiSpaIchCs which at first reading an
reared to indicate that the seizure NJ
the Russian boat was in at least sor,a
degree caused by the action of the can
tam OF the craft in attacking the Jan
aneSc boarding lieutenant. II NAV b..
mat upon this point may turn the de-
cision as to whether or not there has
been a violation of Chinese neutralttv
by the Japanese.
II the expedition was genuine cut
ting out one, then there Is no question
IN the minds of the officials here that
the Japanese have committed an Of
fence against international law by vi
olatinS Chinese neutrality, and in ad-
dition have broken the agreement they
entered into at the beginning of the war
ut the instance of the United States
government, to limit the field of war
Ike operations to Manchuria and CO.
fea and their waters. Should this prove
to he the case. the results probably will
be grave and Vexatious. Under the ten
cts OF international law the captured
vessel must be returned to the custody
Of the Chinese government and an
apology rendered for the offense against
Chinese neutrality.
But if Russian lives have been
lost as reported in the press
dispatches, a greater complication
will follow for Russia may in turn hold
China responsible for the punishment
CT the Japanese who caused the death
of her sailors when under the shelter
OF the Chinese port authorities. Alto
sether the situation IL full OF danger
ana the main apprehe nsion of the Of
ficials here is that it may be the incl
dent that will break down the agree
ment of the powers and plunge China
into the war as full fledged belliger-
ent and ally of Japan.
The consequences of such an
act on China's part upon ex-
isting alliances between Japan
and Great Britain and between Russia
ana France can only be conjectured
ard the prospect Is so alarming that it
is not doubted the state department
win 10 its utmost along with neutral
powers to affect such settlement OF
this incident as shall preserve the
agreement ia to China In full force.

ance companies doing business here to
the effect that from now on the rates

lection which it gives in case of fire. 1t
is understood that this came as a re

MIDLAND BURLINGTON
A Deal Which Makes Grand juno
ton Big Railroad factOr..-
Burlington to Control the
Colorado Midland.

No railroad move that does not take
Grand Junction into consideration as
a factor amounts to very much III
Western Colorado 1t is the gateway
to Utah and it must be considered.
when changes are proDosed. The
very latest and most astonishing pro-
position in the railroad world today
in Colorado is. that the Colorado Mid
land that terminates at Grand juno
tion is to be used by the Burlington
as an outlet to Salt Lake and to reach
the Ogden gateway to the northwest.
1t is not among the impossibilities
that through Burlington trains will be
passing through Grand Junction for
Salt Lake before very long.
1t is said, when it was announced
that George Vallery had accepted the
position as manager of the Colorado
Midland that he would not have ac-
cepted that position, if he was to
be tied up to the possibilities of the
road between Grand junction and
Colorado Springs. With vallery at
the head of the Midland and backed
by the Burlington things could be
made most interesting on through
traffic. Through recent arrangements.
whereby the Rio Grande is in actual
control of the Midland that road dare
not make better time into Denver and
in the opposite direction to Grand
Junction. when its line is eighty miles
shorter than the Grande. This would
be changed greatly, if the arrange
ment su ygesed is made.
The following from the Posts rail
road editor on the situation is given :;
Through trains from Chicago to
Salt Lake Citv over the arlington,
Midland and Ric Grande Western is
the advices today from railway head
, quarters in Omaha Report is that
the Burlington has secured control of
the Colorado Midland, statement to
which greater credence is being given
since the announcement of the appoint
ment of George W. Vallery. former
general agent of the Burlington in
Denver, as general manager of the
Midland road. effective Aug l.
1t has been generally known that
the Colorado Midland holds trackage
rights over the Rio Grande Western
from Grand Junction to Salt Lake
City. With the Burlington in control
of the Midland through car arrange
ments would only be matter of de-
tail Sho aid the Burlington put in
to effect it's through car service from
Chicago to Salt Lake City the ques-
tion would naturally arise:
"Will the Rio Grande close the
Grand Junction gateway to the Mid
land. therefore compelling that road
to push its line ON to Salt Lake City ?
1.-The answer would be mo-, just
the same as when the question was
asked about the Ogden gateway. Rail
roads are out for treffic these days and
they would rather have short haul
than no haul at all. The Rio GraDde
would never close out the Midland
if it could get rental of its tracks
from Grand junction to Salt Lake
City from the Burlington.
