Bangor Schooner Abandoned

When a heavy fog lifted Monday near
Sandy Hook, the schooner Annie r. Lewis,
of Bangor, was sighted with her starboard
side stove in from the effects of collision.
The mainmast was cracked off fifteen feet
above the deck and was swinging in the
rigging between the fore and mizzen
masts. The crew had abandoned the
schooner, which was settled low in the
water. The steam pilot boat New York,
towed her into port.
The Annie R. Lewis was bound from
Norfolk, Va, to New York. She was built
at Bucksport, in 1873. The whereabouts
OF the crew is unknown. The pilots be-
lieve the crew were lost, the absence of
the compass indicating that when they
took TO the boat after the crash the shore
was not in sight, and that the boat was to
be steered by direction. The weather has
been such that it would be almost impos-
sible for an ordinary long boat to ride
through it.

tions for the various county offices to

Not for many years has the political
situation been just like that which
now confronts the party. Under or
binary conditions republican nomina-
tions are equivalent to elections in
Hancock county, and not until two
years ago had there for a long time
been break; at that time republl-
cans enough broke away from their
party to elect democrat for sheriff
not because he was democrat as
we have said before-but because they
believed that, if elected, he would en-
force the prohibitory law.

enforcement has not changed during

Correspondence.


NEW HAVEN, Conn, May Is, 1906.
To the Editor Of The american:
Rev. and Mrs. Prigmore passed through
New Haven last week on their way to
Ellsworth Falls
The church at Ellsworth Falls is very
fortunate in securing Mr.. Prigmore for
its pastor. He is thoroughly fitted for
the work of the ministry. He took his
college course In the West, and then came
to New Haven, where he graduated from
the Yale divinity school in 1894. He re-
manned year longer. doing post graduate
work for which he received the degree OF
NJ. A.
Fer the past year Mr.. Prigmore has been
supplying the church at Milton, Conn.
He has been offered the pastorate OF two
larger churches in Illinois, but wants to
labor where he can do the most good.
From representations made to him of the
opportunities at Ellsworth Falls and
North Ellsworth, he is anxious to take up
that work.
Mr.. Prigmore is an ideal pastor and loves
to visit his people at their homes, and have
them feel that he is their friend. Mrs
Prigmore is a college graduate, and takes
a deep interest in the work OF the church.
Her cordial manner will win for her many
friends.
We bespeak for Mr.. and Mrs. Prigmore
warm greeting from our friends at Ellis
worth, and feel that their work will be
deeply appreciated.
Yours very sincerely,
Il. L. HARTsHoRS

One of the most interesting and in
terested visitors that Washington has
seen for some time is the Gekwar of
Baroda, an Indian prince who, under
British suzerainty, rules over a popu-
lation of something like 1900, 900, and
has an annual income of more than
81, ZOO, 900. He has in addition an i'm
mense fortune that brings him in
nothing. 1t is the rarest collection of
jewels in the world, valued at about
$40, 000, 900. But when one comes to
valuations OF that sort on jewels, 1t is
mostly guess work, because some of
the gems could no. be duplicated and
are thus priceless. He is stocky,
unassuming, brown ssinned little
man, talks English perfectly at the
rate of about $50 words a minute, and
has already made arrangements with
the fish commission to take back with
him to Barods an expert who shall
report on the fisheries of the princi-
pality and show the Barodians how
to grow fish. He promises also to
send number OF bis brightest young
men to this country mex. year to
study at several of the American
agricultural colleges and get ideas on
modern methods of farming.

Nature makes all things beautiful in their
time" Every one of life's seasons, when life
moves on Natures lines, has its own charm
and beauty. Many women dread that period
when they must experience change of life.
They fear that face and form may suffer by
the change, and that they may fail to please
Pierce's Fayorite Prescription in this crisis OF
woman's life lies in the fact that 1t assists
Nature. Its use preserves the balance and
buoyancy Of the mind and sustains the physi-
cal powers. Many women have expressed
their gratitude for the help and comfort given
by .Fayorite Prescription in this trying
period. Its benefits are not passing but per-

matter could be held in allegiance for
two years, and II the sea-level type is
decided on at the end of that time, 1t
could be put through without addi-
tional expense except for more dig
ging. This, however, is not so. Such
a delay would cause an immense
change in plans, and would make
much of the present work 60 for
naught. The President has said that
If Congress adjourns without action,
he will go ahead under the Spooner
act and construct lock canal. But If
Congress after all decides on sea-
level canal, it will mean a great deal
OF additional expense.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1906-05-30

There is no question but that the
Senate is going to have a beautiful
fight on it's hands over the type of
canal that is to be built at Panama.
The majority report will call for sea-
level canal, but there will be strong
minority report in favor of a lock
canal, and with the President and the
House both pulling that way, there is
a lively contest in prospect. Congress
wants to get away, and for that rea-
son it is possible IL the fight is much
prolonged, the matter may be allowed
to go over for the session. The advo-
Gates of sea-level canal say that the
