Here is Il cider mill story told by Il
Bridgton correspondent: George Pack
ard is still manufacturing cider i'm the
E?il OH his farm-the Charles Kilborn
place Although apples are extremely
scarce. he keeps the mill running a
good part of the time. and will continue
squeezing out apple juice until into
next week-for which New England
beverage he has all the orders he can
fill. 1t is common practice now adays
for people to take cider from the mill
as soon as it is made and at once heat

tie and store it in a cool place until
wanted. BY this simple process the
new cider is kept sweet and free from

The shipment of Christmas trees
from Belfast, this year. will be far in
excess of any previous year. The
number of trees which are daily hauled
through the streets is surprising to all.
One shipper from that locality will ship
not fewer than 1900, as there is an
average Of 900 trees to a car and he has
contracted for at least 90 carloads from
Belfast. The trees do not command a
big price here. but when they reach the
South and the big cities then they
bring good returns.

Medals for SIoucm Heroes.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-George A.
Campsey of Pittsburg, special agent
for the Carnegie hero fund.- has been
in this city for several days investi-
eating the Slocum disaster so as to
award medals to some of those who
risked their lives in saving others. Mr.
Campsey will make his recommends
tions to the nero fund commission, but
no medals will be awarded until Mr.
Carnegie has passed on each individual
case
The name of Mary McCann, the IT.
ar-old immigrant girl, who saved six
lives, it is expected, will head the list
in Mr. Campsey's report. She was a
patient in the scarlet few
er hospital on North Brother island
on the day of the tragedy. She rushed
to the rescue when the burning steam
er grounded and plunged into the water
when she saw human beings jumping
overheard and crying for help.
After rescuing her sixth person from
death she was ordered out of the water
by one Of the physicians and collapsed

BIG FLO WOE WATER INUNDATES
BASEMENT AND THREATENS
TROUBLE.
Necessary to Lay 600 Feet Of Sewer
Pipe-Fire Engine Keeps Water
Down for Time.

A big spring, flowing thousands of
gallons of water every day, has broken
loose under the Keylor Grand theater.
The flow became so strong yesterday
that. the basement of the new play
house was flooded to depth Of three
feet and it was necessary to employ
the use of the old fire engine to keep
the water from rising to the main floor
of the theater. careful examination
of the situation this morning showed
that it will be almost impossible to
stop the flow and the water depart
ment made arrangements to con-
meet the basement with the main sew
er system in Fourth street. This will
necessitate the laying of over 600 feet
of sewer pipe N order to obtain the
necessary fall to drain the basement.
A crew of men was set to work this
morning digging trenches and in the
meantime the old steamer is used to
keep the flow in the basement down
below the danger point. The sewer
pipe connecting with the theater will
run down the alley to Fourth street
and out Fourth to the main pipe op-
posite the hall of records. Years ago
before Walla Walla reached her pres
emf metrOpol'tan appearance a stream
of water fed by a big spring up Pop
lar street flowed back Of the present
site of the theater. AS the town began
to grow the stream was filled up. 1t
is thought that the spring which has
developed under the theater is seep-
age from the old creek.

No Clues to Banks Gifts.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The reso-
luton calling on the comptroller of the
currency to report what contributions
were made by the national banks to
recent political campaigns, which Sem
ator Tillman introduced in the senate
and which was passed unanimously
by that body, has been answered by
Mr.. Ridgley. The comptroller's reply
contains little information on the vital
question as in the nature of things.
such expenditures would be concealed
from the national bank examiners.
Should the managers of national
bank wish to engage in illegal trans
actions, they could find a way to ac-
complish their ends without leaving
any tell-tale marks in the books. Cam
paign contributions would probably be
buried under the head of legal ex-
penses' miscellaneous expenses" or
some equally innocent account, and
an examiner from Mr.. Ridgeley's office
would be unable to dig them out.
