The schooner Rushlight, which sailed last
week for Jonesport, her home port, took
between 600 and 700 barrels of apples, for
which about so cents a barrel was paid.
But that is not the bottom price. We hear
of one sale of about 125 barrels on the trees,
mostly baldwins, for $40. One shipment to
Boston of three barrels which cost the
shipper 81 barrel brought returns of 50
cents barrel. Some will hold their APP

This brings the cost within the appropria-

LETTER TO F. R WIGGIN,
BELFAST, MAINE.

Dear Sir: A big mil! owner, Spartans-
burg, S. c.. wanted 5000 gallons Of paint,
and bought by price; paid 5 cents less than
ours; got ''lead and zinc" paint; but the
lead was sulphate of lead, not carbonate.
Sulphate costs about half and covers about
half.
That paint was adulterated about six
times as much as the ; five cents paid for.
He "saved" cents and it cost him 80.
Oh no; it cost him more than that; we for
got the labor. Can't work it out exactly
don't know how long it'll wear.
Short measure besides; that alone was
twice as much as his saving cents.
1t was thin, too; some loss there; don't
know how much.
There was too much dryer in it. The
maker made something on that he didn't.
Taking it all together, he didn't make
much by that cents
Go by the name: and the name is Devoe
lead and zinc.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEvoE 4 Co.,
New York.

Many improvements have been made and
others are in progress at the McLane resi-
dence on Northport avenue. The semi-cir
cular driveway in front has been discon-
tinued, the ground graded to smooth lawn,
and new and wider driveway made on the
north side of the house. The entrance
steps have been moved from the front of
the piazza to the north end, and terrace
graded across the west end and planted
with flowers and shurbs. A fine, gravel
road, an eighth of mile long, has been
built from the house to the shore, along the
sides of which wild roses have been planted
in profusion. A large lawn is being graded
on the north side of the house across the
end of which next the avenue hedge of
cedar and pine has been planted, and across
the front of the lawn is hedge Of native
shrubs. Shrubs and flowers have been
planted about the house and stable. These,
with other Improvements to be made in the
near future, will make the residence one of
the most beautiful on the coast.
A MUSICAL TREAT. The pianoforte
lecture-rectal by Mr.. Edward Baxter Per-
ry, the blind pianist, at the Memorial Hall
Wednesday evening, Oct. 10Th, was rare
musical treat, and it is to be regretted that
so few availed themselves of the privilege
of hearing this fine artist. Mr.. Perry Or
iginated the idea of the lecture-recital, and
his plan is to preface each composition
with brief descriptive talk, in order that
the audience may understand the meaning
of compositions that would otherwise be
unintelligible, and be brought in touch with
the spirit of the composer. His descrip-
tions were given in such choice language
and with so much feeling that his audience
could clearly comprehend the meaning of
each selection given. His Interpretation of
the different numbers showed him to pos
sess to an unusual degree that sympathetic
quality and power of expression which
make the true artist. As he said in his in
troductory talk, ''art is expression and he
who can best express his deepest emotions,
is an artist, whether painter, poet or must
cian." Mr.. Perry plays with great techni-
cal skill combined with clearness and deli
cacy of touch. Every number on the pro-
gram was delightfully."- rendered, Chopin's
Sonata, the Wagner numbers, particularly
the spinning Song" and "Die Lorelei" of
his own composition, were perhaps the
favorites. Mr.. Perry used Knabe con-
cert grand piano of beautiful Tone As he
is summer resident of Camden, it is hoped
that he may be heard again by Belfast au-
dience. The following program was given:
Chopin. Sonata, Op 80.
Allegro.
ScherZO.
Marche Funebre.
Presto.
Wagner Brassn. FeuerZauber.
Wagner-Brassin Der Ritz der Walkuren.
Wagner-Liszt. Spinning Song.
Hoffman,. Aus SchOnersZeit, OPP. "a.
Silas. GavOtte in E minor.
E. B. Perry. Die Lorelei.

MRS. CHADWICK TO
MAKE STATEMENT
Satisfied With Her Jail Life.-Denies
Report That She Owes Any
Pittsburg Banks.

Cleveland Ohio, Dec. 16.-Mrs. Chad
wick has settled down to the routine OF
Jail life, and today expressed herself
as we'll satisfied with her surround
ings. After taking breakfast, she sent
for Sheriff Barry and told him she did
not care to receive any visitors during
the day, as she was about to prepare
statement and did not wish to be
disturbed until it was finished.
When asked the nature of the state
ment. she declined to reply, but said
she would not make it public until af-
ter submitting it to her attorneys. Ii
she does this, the chances are that it
will never be made public, for Attor'
ney J. P. Dawley, who is now in charge
of her case, has the reputation of being
able to compel his clients to refrain
from discussing their cases before they
are brought to trial.

gram to the Pittsburg Dispatch, Mrs

EVIDENCE is
SENSATIONAL
In Smoot Inquiry at Washington
...HorribIe Penalties Re-
vea|ed by Woman.
M0RM0NS IN POLITICS
Idaho Witness Says Church is All
Powerful in That State Defeated
the Governor.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 16.-The
first witness in the Reed Smoot inquiry
today was Mrs. Annie Elliott, OF Price,
Utah, and her testimony was sensa-
tional. In a trembling voice and shak-
ing with emotion. Mrs. Elliott said that
the obligations of the Mormon Church
were so indelicate that she could not
bear to repeat them. BY slow degrees
Mrs. Elliott repeated the various
oaths and penalties ascribed for reveal
ing parts of the ceremony. During
the testimony concerning the penalties
involving mutilation of the body, the
witness trembled continuously and ap-
peared to proceed with difficulty.
On cross-examination she was asked
if she ever heard of the penalties be-
ing enforced against anyone and ans
wered in the negative.
Political Power of Church.
The next witness was Charles H.
Jackson, of Boise City, Idaho, who is
chairman of the Democratic state
central committee. He testified at
length concerning the growing power
of the Mormon Church and its inter-
ference with state affairs, which he
said were made the paramount issue
by the Democrats and Independents in
the last campaign in Idaho.
Church Supreme in Idaho.
Mr.. Jackson said further that the
apostles of the church from Utah go
into the state of Idaho and direct the
people how to vote. Speaking OF the
influence of the church in political al
fairs of that state, Jackson took as an
illustration the defeat of Governor Nor
rison for reelection. The administra-
tion had been satisfactory to the gov
ernor's Republican constituents, but he
had run afoul of the Mormon Church
and therfore was denied second term.
In this connection Jackson said with
emphasis: "It is impossible for any
man or party to stand against the Nor
mon Church in Idaho"

Such If Present Trouble Does Not
Cease.

Buda Pest, December 16.-At today's
session OF the lower hose of the
Hungarian parliament, Premier Tisza
announced that unless the house was
organized within three days. as re-
quired by the standing orders, he would
be obliged to dissolve the parliament, as
he desired to appea! to the electors to
ascertain whether or not they approved

period so that he might issue writs for
the new electors. He added that even
II the opposition party resisted his re-
quest, elections would be held neverthe-
less.
Francis Kossuth, for the opposition,
declared there would be no difficulty in
granting a bill of indemnity to the
government which represents the law,
but that they could not concede 1t to
the Tisza cabinet.

DESTRUCTION OF
FLEET CONFIRMED
Refugees from Port Arthur Tell of Jap.
anese Success-Saiing Vessel
Reaches Chez Foo With I'M
portant Messages.

Che Foo, Dec. 16.-Passengers who
arrived here today from Kwang Tung
Peninsula confirm the truthfulness OF
the official Japanese reports OF the
sinking of the various Russian war
ships. They say the Japanese would
have been able to accomplish this in
the past two months, but apparently
preferred to use their big guns against
the Russian artillery forces. 1t is be-
lieved the destruction of the ships in
dicates that the Japanese have aban-
doned the hope of capturing the fort
ress. The Japanese have lost three
torpedo boats within the past month
by mines, the last one sinking during
the attack on the SevastopOl. The
fighting during which 203 Meter Hill
was captured was terrific, the Japan
ese alone losing 10000 men.
Escape from Port Arthur.
Che Foo, Dec. 16.-Seven Russians

training obvious in their bearing arriv-
ed here today in a sail boat, carrying
dispatches They refused to talk and
went Immediately to the Russian con-
sulate. A high wind enabled them to
make quick passage from Port Arthur.

Colonel Greene, who is the leading
promoter of the Greene Consolidate1

derstandng with Lawson, who was
charged by Colonel Greene with at
tacking him unjustly. Lengthy state
ments appeared in the daily papers IN
Boston, New York and elsewhere early
in the week, signed by Lawson ana
Greene, in which attacks were made
upon each other. The New Yorker
then announced he would come to Bos-
ton and demand satisfaction, but his
visit was deferred until today.
Colonel Greene came from the din
ing room at GAS o'clock and walked
up the corridor with friend on either
side. When the New Yorker appeared,
Lawson advanced down the corridor TO
meet him. The meeting between the
two men was like that of friends. They
Immediately retired to the room OF
Greene and shortly after newspaper
men sent up a note and requested that
one of their number be allowed to be
present. Lawson sent back an answer
saving that he was willing, but that
Greene objected.
Police Guard Hotel.
While the conference was still in
session, Chief Inspector Watts or the
Boston police force and Inspector
Houghton entered the hotel and looked
over the register. When approached
by newspaper men they said that they
heard Greene and Lawson were con-
ferring and had come to see that no
cranks created a disturbance. They
remained at the hotel for SOME time.
Shortly after noon, Police Captain
Cain, in charge of the division in which
the hotel is located, arrived. He said
that he Cooked in" partly out OF curl

The conference was still in progress
at 2:15 o'clock this afternoon. Police
Chief Watts and his assistants remain

so long, but he decided not to return
to headquarters until later in the day.
