FIRE IN ROCKPORT.
penobscot View Grange Burned Out.


The grange hall at Glencove was
burned Wednesday evening, Feb. Sth.
The main part of the hall in which the
grange held its meetings is still stand
ing, but the banquet hall was complete
ly consumed by the flames. There was
no hydrant near by, SO that the only way
in which the flames could be fought
was by throwing snow on the burning
building. 1t was one story structure,
owned by WillistoD Grinnell of Cam
den and leased by Penobscot View
Grange, No. 3sS, P. Of H. The main
part of the building consists of large
dance hall, 45x6O, with stage in the rear.
Here the grange holds its meetings.
Attached to the main building is hall
somewhat narrower and considerably
longer, used as a kitchen and banquet
fire probably caught. The previous
night dance had been held at the hall
and Wednesday some of the ladies of
the grange were at the hall clearing up.
A fire was built in the kitchen stove
but was supposed to have been prac-
tically burned out when the ladies left
the hall. 1t is thought, however, that
the fire must have caught from this
source.
The piano and furniture of the hall
and grange paraphernelia were taken
out from the main hall, but the furni-
ture Of the kitchen and banquet hall
was nearly all destroyed as the fire was
well under way when discovered.
The hall is valued at $500 and in
sured. The grange paraphernalia and
furniture is valued at about 5000 and is
insured,

Kissed in a loud manner as he worked
down into the water and mire, and L
was unable to get him to come forth
that l might get picture.
The young boys down here are very
enthusiastic over skating and ask many
questions about the ice and the methods
of skating in the North. This winter
they have been enjoying themselves
with roller skates, skating upon the
sidewalks in the city; but an ordinance
adopted the past week will put an end
to that pleasure. Very few Of the
boys have ever seen field of ice.
In mentioning the Lord family whom
| met coming down on the steamer, and
who were such pleasant people, | neg
lected to say that they were from
Lowell, Maine, just back of Bangor,
and are acquainted with many Belfast
people.
Poor Florida. she has indeed suffered
severely and the sympathy of every
northern visitor is with the residents
here. The terrible weather which has
prevailed in the north the past week
reached into this State. All over Flor
ida on Tuesday afternoon were posted
bulletins of the approaching freeze, with
instructions to coverplants and tropical
fruit, and while the thermometer kept
sliding down none could believe that
history was going to repeat itself in
the big freeze of some ten years ago.
But the thermometer kept on going
down, and when it had reached % above
zero, four degrees colder than the freeze
of 1885, it stopped and by good fortune
turned back.
When we awoke the next morning 1t
was sorry sight which met the eye.
All the tropical gardens were frozen
and the leaves hung limp and lifeless.
The fruits on the trees were ruined, the
rubber tree had lost its foliage, and
only the oleander bush seemed to have
withstood the cold.
Cocoanut trees were yellow, poisoned
by the frost, the leaves dropping and
hanging down, and in one yard nearby
l saw where the garden hose had been
running with a sprayer all night and
the trees were loaded with ice, which
had broken down the cocoanut trees
with it's weight. This place was visited
during the day by hundreds, as ice
work of this nature is not often seen in
Florida.
Everybody was freezing, as the cot
tages here are built for fairly warm
climate, with no stoves and only now
and then fireplace. Wednesday and
Thursday were both days of this nature
and we were forced to hang around the
few stoves we could find, to burn lights
in rooms, and when night came to get
under a raft of blankets. But there
was also a laughable side, and l saw
out in the city park fire, and gathered
around it number of both whites and
blacks discussing the big freeze. l saw
many of these little gatherings during
the day. Men were seen in their stores
sitting on boxes with their backs to the
stoves, and one man who lived out of
the city and had had no use for gloves

de-lis type.
After the ceremony jolly reception was
held at the home of the bride on Trenton
street, where intimate friends to the num-
Der of a score assembled and made the even

lati0n was served, after which the festivi-
ties continued until late hour.

he wore two pairs of pants. There were
many other ludicrous situations and
circumstances, but above it all was the
great sorrow for the residents who lost
acres of tomatoes, orange trees, paw

much money to them. 1t is, however,
thought by many that the orange trees

The motor boat races on Lake Worth
this week were very interesting and
attracted many visitors to this beauti-
full sheet of water. The program was
varied and interesting and the worlds
record was broken in one instance,
when the fast motor boat Challenger,
owned by w. Gould Brokaw of New
York, ran against time, making a
kilometer distance of one minute and
twenty-one seconds. thus reducing the
worlds record nine seconds and estab
fishing a record for America.
The death of Frank H. Croker of
New York at Ormond was the cause of
his very fast boat being withdrawn,
and no money could induce his brother

untimely end at Ormond while racing
his automobile caused the withdrawal
of his boat here.
There have been crowds of visitors
here this week and the races have been
established for keeps in the future.
| Never have l seen a more imposing
sight than was that of Wednesday
evening when the illuminated parade
was given. More than fifty boats were
in line and the beautiful electric dis
play, with fireworks and the bunting
decorations on the boats as they moved
over the surface of the lake, was some
thing long to be remembered. They
were led by the big house boat Ever
glades, owned by Col. Thompson Of
New York, on which was band.
The Challenger which appeared in the
races here has an engine of $50 horse
power and is thirty nine feet and eleven
! inches in length. She was built by

OF all nations never set up a heresy,
but always remained true to the sue
cessor Of st. Peter. Henry VIII, rob-
bed the Anglo-Saxon of his faith, but
Ireland, divided in questions of ma
tlonality and political economy, was
always one in question of religion.
The Dane was resisted to the death,
not because he invaded it's sanctu-
aries. Every man was willing to war
against the invader, being told by his
faith if he fell in such a cause he
could claim the martyrs crown. After
400 years during which Ireland was a
vast battlefield, Henry VIII. found
that the nation which was incapable
OF defending it's own liberty because
of political divisions became the very
personification of unity when he
touched it's religion. Like one man
all arose and exclaimed: The king
can rob us of our possessions, he can
exile us, he can put us to death, but
he can never separate us from the
See of Rome or the successor of the
Apostles"

The Holy Father Condemns "His Acts

Many publications of late purport-
ing to come from official or semi-offl-
cial sources at the Vatican have flood

tails, spreading news broadcast per-
tanning to the "acts and intentions"
Of the Holy See, which investigation
proved to contain not even a scintilla
of truth. Matters at the Vatican are
continually being misrepresented in
this country, too, by irresponsible cor
respondents, but the most discreet
readers may learn from the severe
condemnation of the pamphlet en-
titled "Pope Plus, his acts and inten-
tions," that news purporting to come
from the best sources at Rome is not
always reliable. The pamphlet in
question was condemned by the Holy
Father in the following trenchant
terms:

There is an anecdote told of one of
these would-be wits and an Irishman
who was employed in hauling water in
barrels from small river to supply
the inhabitants of the village, which
was not provided with water works.
AS the Celt halted at the top Of the
bank, a man of the inquisitive type
asked:
"How long have you been hauling
water for the village, my good mani"
"Tin years or more," was the reply.
"Ah! And how many loads do you
make day?"
From tin to fifteen, according to
the weather."
"Yes. Now have one for you, Pa"
said his questioner. "How much water
have you hauled altogether?"
The Irishman jerked his thumb in
the direction of the river, at the same
time giving his team the hint to start,
and replied: "All the wather that ye
don't see there now"
A historian of the Civil war tells Of
an apt reply made by an Irishman
known as Jerry, a sergeant in reg1-
ment of New York state volunteers.
He was so kindly that he was some
times imposed upon. Strong himself,
he was always ready to tighten the
load of a tired comrade by carrying
his haversack.
One warm day during march an
officer, who wished to see how far
Jerry's good nature would go, asked
him to carry his haversack for awhile.
Jerry made no objection, and added
one more haversack to the pack he
was already carrying. Soon another
officer came along with a similar re-
quest to which the long suffering SER
geant also gave assent.
When the order, "Halt, rest," was
heard, the men leaned for five min
utes against convenient fence. While
they were standing another officer,
seeing Jerry bending under his load,
said Indignantly:
Sergeant, you have the load of a
donkey, there!"
Eyes, SIR" said Jerry, touching his
cap, his face sober, but his eyes twink
ling, Il have the load of two"
A smart" tourist asked the Irish
driver of his car the name of a bridge

And what is that mountain called?"
asked the foreigner.

And that valley" pursued his fare
with an inquiring mind.
"Well; that's the Divil's Valley, too." !"
