Dckey's excursion to Stockton Springs
last Sunday was made under adverse cir
cumstances, the wind blowing cold and
strong. There were about forty on board
the Castine, however, and the trip proved
an interesting one. Next Sunday the
steamer will make the same trip and the
new work there is of special interest to all.
Ask Mr.. Dickey.

CLEAN STREETS. The Machias Republi.
can notes the fact that the street commits
sioner of that town had cleaned the bitches
along Main street, and that for few hours
it presented a very neat appearance; but
that in few hours 1.-THE usual amount of
banana and orange peels and dirt of all de-
SCI iptions began to appear and the next day
the street had assumed its normal appear
ance" The Republican says that after
streets have been properly cleaned they
cannot be kept in this condition so long as
careless persons throw whatever waste they
have into the ditch. This applies here as
we'll as elsewhere Last Sunday morning
as people were going to church, post office
square and the intersecting streets were
filled with waste paper, from small bits to
sheets yard or more square, paper boxes
and rubbish of all kinds, which was blown
here and there by the strong north wind, a
danger to those driving and unsightly to
every one. In this connection the MachiaS
Republican well says:
Realize that the appearance of your town
means something commercially If you
must throw your waste out, let it be out
the back door, not on the main street, and
when the street commissioner has made an
effort to improve the appearance as well as
the condition of the streets, don't start in at
once to undo that work.
Keep the town clean-lt pays.
A BURNING ACCIDENT Last Sunday some
of Mrs. A. s. Fahy's boarders were spending
the day at what was formerly the Condor
place, on the shore just below the pavilion,
nov owned by Mrs. Fahy. They had fire
on the shore and while the others of the
party were at the house Miss LoviSa Fuller,
a sister of Mrs Fahy, was engaged in max
ing coffee, when her apron took fire She
was unable to remove it and realizing her
danger she called to the rest of the party,
who were in the house, and ran distance
of about 10 feet and threw herself into the
water. One of the boarders saw her as she
ran and reached her just as she fell, but
she was unconscious when he lifted her up
and he thought she was dead. Her apron,
shirt waist and corset cover were burned
with the exception of the neck and waist
bands. She was taken Immediately to her
sisters home and physicians summoned in
a little over half an hour after the accident.
1t was found that she was severely burned
on the back of the head, about her arms and
the inside of her hands, but her face fortu-
nately escaped. She manifested great
deal of courage and presence of mind. 1t
was at first feared that the resultant effects
would be serious, but nausea was the only
symptom developed. She is comfortable
and rests we'll and her friends are much en-
couraged at her Improvement and look for
a rapid recovery.
