THE GOOD
 FLEETWOOD
It's The Popular Favorits
 Everywhere.

On all sides you can hear the praiso of the Glenwood Range and well you might, for the Glenwood is the one stove that housekeepers like all the time. Glenwoods don't cost any moro than any other kind since the Hamp. son-Sellew store took the agency. Therefore the Glenwood is the stove to buy. There is at very conserva- tive estimate between two and three thousand Glenwoods used in Water. bury. which is strong testimonial to the popularity of it. Glenwooda can be bought at the Hampson- -SelIew store as low as $25O0 and the grades run ip gradual advance up to &6O00, The Glenwoods ranging in price from $500 to $45.00 are extremely popu. lar and are from five to ten doIlaru less than the same grades used to bo sold for before the Hampson-Seile Furniture company put them on sale. Re sure to get Glenwood and you will be pleased now and in years and years to come

 Mate is Drowned.

Chatham, Mass, Aug 21.-The coal laden schooner NJ. C. Haskell, bound from New York for Rockland, Me, is total wreck on Handkerchief shoal and her mate, Nelson Taunsen, of Rockland, has been drowned. Captain Winfield and the other members of the crew reached shore in their own boats to-day and reported that the vessel ran aground on the shoal late last night at low tide and when the tide turned she rolled over and sank. A thick haze which 0bscured the lights On the shoal, was the cause of the dis- aster.
 Captain Winfield stated to-day that he was working his vessel up over the shoals last night in light wind and moderate sea. The atmosphere was so thick that he could make out only one of the lights on the Handkerchief shoals lightship. He also was able to discern Chatham light. and endeav- ored to shape his course by these two. The effort was not successful, how ever. and the schooner struck on the shoal
 Believing they would have time to save their effects before the vessel changed her position, Captain Win field. Mate Taunsen and Steward Ol- sen went down into the cabin, while the other three members of the crew tide, however, the schooner began to roll The captain and steward hastily ran to the deck. bm the mate stayed behind, thinking he might still save something. Suddenly the schooner went over and the sea rushed into the cabin Taunsen was caught in the trap and was drowned.
 The others succeeded in putting off in their boats. but they remained in the vicinity of the wreck until day light. They were sighted soon arter dawn by Captain Kelley, of the .,.on- omoy Point life saving station, who put out to their assistance. The men. however, rowed their own boats to the life saving station. where they re- mained this forenoon.
 Mate Taunsen leaves widow and five children in Rockland. The other members of the crew were John Do herty, Otto Beck and Aleck Clayford.
 It is understood that no attempt will be made to raise the schooner, but that she will be stripped so far as possible. She carried about 400 tons of coal and it Is stated here that neither vessel nor cargo was insured.
 The NJ. c. Haskell was built at Me. in 1s66 Her net ton mage was 299. and she was 1l4 feet long. 2s feet in breadth and II feet in depth. She was owned in Rockland.
