on carly today that 4 negro. believed to
be Minot st. Clair Francis, who es-
capped Monday night, was seen walking
OH a railroad track at Newcastle, near
hight by two or three people at differ
ent times. 1t was believed that, if it
was Francis. he was hiding in some
burn in the vicinity today and a search
ing party started out at $50 to locate
him. Members of the party We're arm
ed and fully prepared to meet and re-
sistance offered. If he has reached
Newcastle. Francis evaded about so offi-
GERS and citizens who have guarded GER
tain roads in ThOmaston, Rockland
Rockport and Camden.
No trace of him has been found in
this vicinity since yesterday afternoon,
when it was reported that he was in
the vicinity of Hoamer's pond, two
miles from Rockport and Camden. and
headed for Lincolnville Center. Warden
Norton stated this morning that no
Roadway had been made since trace of
hin Was lost.
Late today Warden Norton learned
from persons that Francis had made in
Quirics from them regarding the kind
of steamers sailing from Stockton
Springs. The warden is of the opinion
that F::tnri:' will attempt to ship from
Stockton Springs to Boston or New
York and there board q vessel for some
foreign country. AS he is wanted in
Mainc and Massachusetts, and has a
record in Canada and because of the
vigilance of the federal officers. he
probably would not dare to remain in
any Of the Eastern states it is believed
he will attempt to reach a foreign port.
a man will be sent tomorrow to
search all outgoing vessels. Agents

.IOrth Atlantic coast will he notified to
keep n sharp watch and advised of the
reward Of $500 for him, dead or alive.
No further clue had been found to-

WHERE IS PEARY?
Nothing Known Of Exp|o-
rers Present Whereabouts.
Te|egraphic Inquiry Brings Forth
No New Information.
May Have Stopped at Battle Harbor
TO Make Repairs.

Halifax, n. S., Nov. 14.--Inuuiries by
Wire sent to different points brought no
new information as to the present loca-
ton Of Lieut.. Peary'S Arctic steamer
Roosevelt, and it is impossible to tciI
definitely whether the steamer has vet
left Battle HarbOr, Labrador, as the
nearest telegraph Office is at Chateau
bay at at this late time communica-
ton by fishing boats between the two
places is practically suspended for the
winter. From Battle Harbor the ex-
plorer announced his intention to pro-
coed direct to Sidney, N. S., and ter
inmate his voyage there. so it is prob
able the steamer would come through
the strait Of Belle Isle and Gulf of
st. Lawrence instead Of passing out :
side the island of New Foundland.
There are several fish exporting
houses in this city who conduct fishing
stations near Battle Harbor and re-
ceive regular advices as to weather
conditions on the Labrador coast. So
far as known, the severe storm which
have lately visited the New England
and Nova Scotia coasts did not extend
to Labrador. and this renders it diff
cult to account for the RoOsevelt'S de-
tentiOn at Battle HarbOr if the steamer
is at that point, unless compelled to
remain there to make repairs of DAM
age reported to have been sustained
in the far North. No risk would be
run in delaying for this purpose, as
ice does not commence TO close uD the
southern Labrador harbors for several
weeks.

Laurel To Petition For A Local
Option Law.

A movement is on foot to have a
bill introduced in the present Legis-
lature which meets this week to
submit to the voters of Laurel
the high license and local option
question, and a bill will probably
be introduced looking to this end.
Sentiment in favor of local option
has been growing steadily, until
now there is a large influential ele-
ment determined to push the mat
ter to the limit and secure relief from
the present condition of affairs.
The question has never been widely
agitated as now, and it is believed
that the prospects which the good
citizens have in mind were never
brighter. There are now six sa-
looms in Laurel, one being opened
up in the last two weeks, and each
paying license of $500 a year.

THE IDEAL HOME.
MANS Ideas Constantly Change an he
GrOVVe older.

Mans Ideas Constantly CA@M@G an ne
Grows Older.
AS the male member Of the human
species advances in years his ideas as
to what constitutes an ideal dwelling
change SO absolutely that there is be-
tween the different places he would
select almost no similarity.
At three years old his ideal is tent
formed from table cover, blanket,
spread, piece of carpet or any
other material that can be so arranged
that it will form little place into
which to crawl.
At six the best possible dwelling is a
hut built of barrel slaves, boards and
planks, and unknown to prosecuting
adults, and especially to policemen.
A boy of ten would select a spacious
cave, with marvellous secret entrance,
preferably with the entrance under
water at flood tide, with the floors COW
cred with heavy costly carpets, the
walls decorated with deadly weapons
inlaid with gold, silver and precious
stones, and with enough food slowed
away to enable the inhabitants of the
place to live for year if necessary.
At twenty the hearts desire is
room in a large hotel where the cost
would be at least So day and where
there would be dinner at Z o'clock,
with lots of pretty and rich women
present, a big smoking room and plenty
of stationery with heavy gold mono
gram or crest stamped on it.
At twenty-five the best possible home
is a neat, comfortable modern fat in
some respectable neighborhood, not too
far from the cars, theaters and shop
ping district, and with asphalted streets
so there will not be too much noise.
At thirty-five the only proper dwell
ing is town house, preferably stu
ated near houses of men whose wealth
is reckoned in the tens of millions of
dollars and who really have consid-
cradle money, said house to have a
mammoth ballroom, music room and art
gallery, and in addition to this house
another country house within easy dis
lance of the city, and still again, in
addition to these two houses, a mod
est but quantity elegant cottage at
some popular seashore resort.
At fifty mans tastes have toned
down, and he longs for little cottage
in the country, where all is quiet,
where birds sing and there are chick
ems in the yard, COW in the stable, a
goodly plot Of ground that continually
yields an unfailing supply of fresh veg
etables and where all is modesty,
sweet content and freedom from the
usual annoyances that make life a
burden.
At sixty the cottage has grown
smaller, and the man would be con-
tent with less ground, fewer chickens
and vegetables and could get along
quite nicely without the COW.
At seventy any place will do SO long
as man is not disturbed and uas rea-
sonable assurance that he will not be.
