PEARL BROCK STABLES.

Few of the Good Ones to be Seen There
We wonder how many of our. readers
interested in such matters are aware
what lot of good things are to be
found at Pearl Brook stables in Bel
fast But few, we fear. Although, as
already stated. Mr.. Smith has taken a
number OF his fast ones to Charter Oak
track, there are a few that are by no
means slow, still to be seen in Belfast.
Joe Pointer, 2.05 IA, the fastest stallion
ever offered to the breeders of Maine
for their patronage, is at Phoenix House
stables, but will go to Lewiston, May
20, at the fair grounds, where Trainer
Bob Evans will prepare the Pearl
Brook string. The sire of Joe Pointer
is Star Pointer, 1.59 IA, the first horse
to beat two minutes. Joe is a roly-poly
looking sort of fellow, big horse that
looks it, and has been a good money
winner in hotly contested races. At
the farm is Marston c., 21O IA, the big
trotting son of Piedmont, 2.17 IA, and
Maiden 81, 2.23, by Electioneer. Mars
ton c. is 16 hands, 1850 pounds, got his
record of 2.19 IA as three year-old.
and is the "only' Maine .guideless
wonder" Marston c. is just the pat
tern of stallion we would expect to get
the high type of carriage horse. The
thoroughbred stallion Marvin, by
Hindoo, sire of Hanover, is in the stud
and is doing quite business. He is a
handsome fellow, and it would not be
at all surprising if some of his fillies
were to become prominent as brood
mares. MaScoDomo, PIG II, by Arion;
dam, Houri, 2.17, by Onward, 2.25 Ii,
and Directum's Poster, by Directum
2.O5 IA, are in the stud at Charter Oak
Park, Hartford, with Brown Braden
2.15 IA, and the remainder of the racing
string. Mr.. Smith has bought several
young mares at the various sales,
usually in foal, and has them, after
they are done attending to maternity
duties, trained and raced with good
success. The mare Isabel, PIT II, by
Adbel ~, 2.23. has raised a colt and
raced good for one or two seasons

THE ROCKLAND SEIZURES.


Municipal Court.
RoCKLAND, May 4, The recent liquor
seizures by Sheriff A. j. Tolman and
the decision of Judge L. r. Campbell
in the Municipal Court that they were
made by an imperfect service of the
warrants are furnishing interesting
aftermath. Sheriff Tolman, when in
formed that written order would be
issued by Judge Campbell late today
for the return of the city liquor agency
stock, valued at $500, told a CORE
spondent of the Associated Press that
it will be ignored and that he will not
permit the liquors to leave his posses
sion unless writ is issued by the Su-
preme Court compelling their return in
which case the city would be obliged to
furnish satisfactory bond. 1t was
also learned that libel asking for the
forfeiture of the liquors has been filed
with the Supreme Court, returnable at
the September term.
81 don't consider that we have been
used fairly in this matter" said Sheriff
TOlman. "In the first place the cases
should have been tired out on their
merits which would have given us an
opportunity to show what the analysis
OF the patent medicines developed. In
the agency case l think there is quite
question whether Judge Campbell had

interest as a citizen, he could not con-

to handle them. State Assayer Robert
S. Edwards is preparing list of medi-
cines which are to be placed under the

THE 1ND1sPENs1BLE MOTOR ENGINE
A GOdsend to Fishermen.

GOdsend to Fishermen.
1t is interesting to note, that the use
of motors for boats preceded the So
called motor boat of to-day. Owners
of cat boats for pleasure sailing and
the small fishermen that ply their I'M
certain trade off the New England
coast, were quick to appreciate the adj
vantages possessed by motor in the
boat. TO the fisherman, to whom sew
eral hours of monotonous rising and
falling on becalmed sea meant loss of
market or worthless fish when he did
reach port, the small motor, from -
to horse power, just powerful enough
to carry his craft along from three to
five miles an hour, was veritable god
send. 1t emancipated him from Supine
dependence on the winds; he became
master of the elements and could cal
culate with some defniteness the times
of his return to land.
Within the last two or three years,
thousands of small motors have been
put In the deep cabined cat boats that
crowd the New England harbors and
shore resorts during the summer
Heavy row boats, old-fashioned steam
and naphtha launches, have likewise
been converted into motor boats, and
tHc ldulllldF CllOO, cHOO OF Une narQ-
working little engine is heard in the
Gulf of st. Lawrence, among the Thou
sand Islands, in the Gulf of Mexico, on
the Great Lakes, throughout the long,
winding course of the Mississippi, in
the harbor OF Havana and even in
South Africa. On the Dutch canals,
the motor barge is common sight.
The small motor, therefore, as an
auxiliary power, has demonstrated its
utility beyond question. No mechani-
cal device has ever been invented COM
blnlng both reasonableness in price
with ease of management in so satisfac-
tory manner as The motor engine.
No fire is needed to get up steam. Two
or three twists of the wheel and the
motor gets to work and so long as its
supply of gasoline holds out, requires
scarcely any attention until the destin
alton is reached. Small motors suitable
for boats from 20 to 40 feet in length
sell from SIS to 5000. Gasolene is in
expensive and one does not have to
bother about the pressure of steam or
the quantity of water in the boiler. If
not already the case, it will in short
time be rarity to find a small sailing
boat outside of the knockabout or one
design yachting class that is not equip
ped with a gasolene motor.-H. P.
Burchell in May Outing.

Does Farming Pay?

Two years ago Frank w. Morse pur-
chased the Asa Adams farm near the
Hildreth mill in Perkins Plantation for
S140O. Mr.. Morse had previously lived
in Weld. He had met with heavy losses
by fire and otherwise, SO that he was
able to pay nothing down. He moved
to the farm and commenced work in
earnest. In two years he has cleared
from his farm and paid $1100 of the
$l4Oo. He has also purchased stock to
the amount of $3.50 and paid $500 of
this sum. He now owes $3.50 upon his
stock and $500 upon the farm The en-
tire amount paid in two years upon the
stock and farm is $l4OO, all of which has
been taken from the farm. Besides
this, he has supported his family of five
persons. All are workers, even to the
two boys, whose ages are II and ID
years, and idle days are strangers in
that family.

He Was the Man.

The Rev. Nathan Hamilton, a worthy
minister, had in his congregation a
wealthy parishioner named David
Jones, who was paying court to his
daughter, but who seemed to be too
bashful to press his suit. So the min
lister thought that he would give him a
helping hand.
One day soon after he met Mr.. Jones,
and he casually remarked that his
daughter was to be married soon. Da-
vid was much perturbed at this, but he
managed to ask who was the happy
man. The minister told him that lie
would announce it during the serv ice
next Sunday David Jones was in his
pew promptly on time, and heard the
text, which was, Nathan said unto
David, thou art the man." 1t is need
less to say that the wedding of David
Jones and the daughter of the Rev.
Nathan Hamilton took place soon after.

Big Potato Shipments.

With the last of the April shipments
of potatoes over the Bangor & ARGOS
took railroad the total of the shipments
of the 1904 crop over that road amount
ed to 1862, ITO bushels. The shipments
for the month of April alone were 74s,-
257 bushels. The total shipments of
the 1904 crop show an increase of $780,
696 bushels over those of last year.
The increase i'll the size of the crop
has had its effect ON the price of the
tubers-at least that is supposed to be
one of the prime causes for the present
low price. The falling off in price is
something tremendous. This time a
year ago potatoes were selling for 81. Is
per barrel where they can hardly be dis
posed of now at 40 cents per barrel.
This is great falling off in price for a
single season and is something never
heard OF before in this State.

THE CoRoNET AT ST. John.
st. John, N. b., Globe. |

st. John, n. b., Globe.
Yacht Coronet, Capt A X. Perry,
flying the American flag, was lowed
into the harbor at noon Wednesday.
Although two bronze cannOnS, one on
either quarter, are apparently ready
for action, her mission is one of peace.
On board were twenty-four Gospel
workers, belonging to the Holy Ghost
and Us Society, with headquarters at
Shiloh, Me. Capt. Perry said the Coro-
net was one of a fleet of ships used in
Gospel work. She left Portland, Me-,
several days ago, and touched at differ
ent places, the last port being Free
port. The party consists of twenty
four persons, including the captains
wife, mates wife, and young lady
Some of the party who left Portland
in the Coronet left the vessel for Il
holiday cruise in the woods. 1t was
the intention to go back to Maine, but
Capt. Perry thinks he will probably re-
mann here untlf the party returns from
their cruise. 1t did not look very sailor
like working around the deck with a
white necktle and other fittings denot-
ing the ministerial calling, but such
seemed to be the crew of the Coronet.
The Coronet was lately purchased by
Rev. F. W. Sandford, the head of the
sect, for $780, coo. She is 152 tons, and is
magniticently fitted up, with marble
steps leading to the saloon. The Coro-
net was once famous racer, and won
the race across the Atlantic against the
Dauntless number of years ago, max
ing the run across in some fourteen
days and six hours. Capt. Perry says
she answers for Gospel work admirably,
having large saloons, offices, etc. The
party on board consists of both young
men and old men.

Brunswick's Plnery.

Prof. Spring and four students from
the University of Maine passed a few
days last week at the home of d. C.
Purington, who has charge of the pin
cry of the town of Brunswick. They
assisted Mr.. Purington in shipping
small white pines and also planted five
pounds of white pine seed. Thus far
about $4,000 small trees have been
shipped from the nursery this year;
5000 to Connecticut where they will be
used in the park system; $3.50 to Prof.
3. E. Carter of Harvard, who will set
them out in Livermore, Mass, and
1900 to New Hampshire and Vermont
parties. The receipts from the sale of
trees pay the cost of the nursery

Prohibition in P. +. Island.

In Prince Edwards Island they are
tackling the liquor question again and
making their prohlbitory law more
stringent then ever. In the provincial
legislature last week the following was
among resolutions unanimously passed
in relation to the matter: cit shall be
the duty of magistrate to examine on
oath all DRINKS as to where they OBJ
tanned the liquor which was partially
or wholly the cause of drunkenness.
And refusal to give such information
to the satisfaction of the magistrate
shall be deemed contempt of court.

Many women long for q child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and Inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?
if expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
women in this condition, there would
be great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering, and in disappoin tments at
birth.
The following letters to Mrs. Pink
ham demonstrate the power of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in
such cases.
