& COLLISION.
as Wac Between Two Men, and tho
Climax Was Pnthatie-

Climax Was Pathetic,
q blind man was making his way
out Washington avenue, using his
cane as a guide for his feet. Across
his chest was placard bearing the
legend, II am blind" and suspend
ed by q chain around his neck was
o small tin cup, u convenient rccep-
tacle for charity coins.
1t was broad daylight, and lie
/ knew that stretch Of walk SO we'll
that he felt vcry little fear of ac-
cldcnt. lie was about the middle
Of the block, SO he did not have to
look out for the step down from the
pavement to the cross street. There
are never many pedestrians out that
far on Washington avenue, and no
one Is going to run ruthlcssly into
u blind man.
lie was striding bravcly along
when, to his utter astonishmcrt, lie
collide1 with Il rapidly moving oL-
lcct. The object was a man, who
grew very angry, for the impact had
dislodgcd his hat. 1t had also
served to hurl the blind man back
ward, SO that he must have fallen
had it net been for the man who
sprang to tho rescue and who tells
tho story.
Haven't you got any senseP'
the enraged man criod. "Now,
you'd better pick up my hat, you
awkward lubbardw
"I can't" tho Disconnected fellow
replied. 81 think it was your own
fault. You ought to look where
you are going"
Chow can I lock where am 60
ing? Can't you sec that am blind
1t is you who ought to look where
you are going and not go humping
| into a blind man."
"What's that? You blind? I
didn't know. I couldn't tell, you
| see. I am blind too. I'm sorry
knocked off your hat. Pm afraid I
can't help you find it. I wonder
which way it rolled"
The other man wos staring blank
| ly at him. Then he gropcd his way
forward, fell upon the other blind
| mans neck and said in a broken
| voice: eve blind people get selfish,
expecting all the world to get out
of our way. I didn't mean to talk
to you as / did,,
BY this timo the witness to the
little tragedy had picked up tho bat
tered hat, dropped coin into each
cup and hurried On, saddcned but
grateful for the priceless gift of

LONDON "TOSHERs."
They Explore the Sewers In Search OF
Articles Of Value.

Articles Of Value. ,
Shoremen or shore workers they
sometimes call themselves, but
their Most familiar appellation is
"toshers," and the articles they
pick up "tosh."
They really belong to another
well known class, the mudlarks, but
consider themselves a grade or two
above these latter, for the genuine
tosher does not contine himself, as
they do, to travelling through the
Thames mud and picking up odd
pieces of coal or wood, copper, nails,
bolts, iron and old rope. The tosh-
er, when the coast is clear of the
police, ma 2lses his way into the sew
ers anI will venture sometimes for
miles in quest of valuables that oc-
casionally find their way into ihem
by way of the kitchen sink or the
street grating. -
When about to enter the sewers
these men provide ther elves with
a pole seven or eight feet long, on
one end of which there is largo
iron hoe, bag carried Oh the back,
canvas apron tied around them
and q dark lantern similar to G po-
liceman's. This they strapson their
right breast, 50 that while walking
upright through the large sewers
the light is thrown straight in front.
When they como to the branch sew
ers and have to stoop the light is
thrown directly at their feet. AS
they make their way they use their
hoe in the mud at their feet and in
the crevices of the brickwork, and
occasional shillings, and silver
spoons find temporary resting
place in the bag at their back or in
their capacious coat pockets.
The toshers generally 60 in gangs
of three or four, both for the sake
Of company and to be able to de-
TEND themselves from the rats with
which the sewers swarm. When
they come near a street grating
they close their lanterns and watch
an opportunity to slip past unno-
ticed, for otherwise q crowd of peo-
pie might soon collect at the graf
ing whose presence would put the
police on tho alert. They find great
quantities Of money, copper money
especially, in tho crevices of the
brickwork little below the grating
and not infrequently shillings, half
crowns and sixpences, with an oc-
casional sovereign or half sovereign.
When Gin luck" they find many
articles of plate, spoons, ladies', sill
yer handled; knives and forks, mugs
and drinking cups and now and then
articles of jewelry. They general
ly also manage to fill their bags
with the more bulky articles found
in their search, such as old metal,
bones and ropes. These they dis
pose of to the marine store dealers
and rag and bone men and divide
the proceeds, along with the coins
found, among the different men,
bers Of the gang. At one time tie
regular toshers used each to earn
from 80 shillings to 60 week, but
with the construction of new sewers,
grated at the mouth, their industry
is moi 80 easily exercised and is
consequently much less profitable. uhft55ie:

TOWN is DIVIDED
AS to Location of the Proposed New
Town Building.

A deadlock was the result of the two
town meetings held Saturday by the citi-
ZcnS Of the north and south sections Of
the town to determine the site Of the
proposed municipal building. At the M Ct
ing of the citizens of what was formerly
the town of Bloomfield the northern part
Of the present town of Skowhcsan. i
resolution was passed by Il vote of ll2 to
81 not to relnquish the rights conferred
by the Legislature Of 1861. which declared
that when the new town of SkOwheSaIi
should vote to build 4 town house it
should be located on Skowhegan Island.
unless a Majority of each town IS then
constituted should otherwise beside.
At the meeting of the southern part OF
the town it was declared that the old
town Of Skowhegan had acquired equity
rights on the Old Coburn hall property.
James Harmon, an old citizen, vino was
present at the town meeting of 1866 gave
his opinion that the old town of SkOwhe-
gan had acquired such rights and that 1t
WIS understood in 1866. vote was pass
cd as an preston of sentiment that the
town hall should not be built on Skowhe-
gan island The citizens are considerably
stirred up over the matter.

Miss Alice M. lalley.

Miss Alice M"ry '.2lley died at the
home Of her mother u. .a-.,ldle street at
1890 Friday noon after an illness of two
weeks with gastritis, complicated with
brain trouble. Her age was -.
She was born on July 81, 1879. Her
carly education was obtained in the
public schools and she graduated from
the Skowhcgan High school in the class
of 1892. After the graduation She
taught several terms in the rural
schools Of this town with great success
Feeling that a higher education was
necessary to perfect herself for her
chosen profession she entered the State
Normal School at Gorham from which
institution she graduated with high
hOnors, completing the course of three
years in two years.
Returning to Skowhegan she taught
one term in the rural schools and then
went to Madison where she secured a
position i'll the graded schools of that
town. For seven years she taught in
that town and was considered one Of
the most competent teachers in the viii
lage. Beginning in the eight grade she
haG heen promoted To the ninth at the
time OF death. AS an instructor she
ranked among the best in the country
Miss L3lley'S death came as a great
shock. not only to her relatives, but to
her host Of friends in this town and in
Madison. They had been led to believe
from the favorable turn her disease had
taken last Monday that recovery was
but a short way off. She continued to
improve up to Thursday night when she
had Sinl, i'm
consciousness and the sad fact was evil
dent to physician, nurse and relatives
that the end was but a few hours dis
lance. She breathed her last at lit
tie after noOn
Miss Lalley not only had the happy
faculty of making friends. She had that
which is better. she could retain the
Friendship thus gained. She was very
popular with her pupils. winning their
love ana confidence to a marked degree.
Not only that. but she held the esteem
and respect of their parents. She was
of most charitable disposition and in
the earlier years of her teaching a
large part of her salary was spent in
making presentable some Of the pupils
who attended the rural schools in this
town That they might stand on an
cquai footing with the other pupils
Her character was above reproach
To her mother and to her aunt. Miss
Mary Lalley. with whom she lived dur
ing the vacations. her death comes
with a crushing force. The sympathy
OF every person in town who knew
them goes out at this hour of the grief.
Miss Lailey was extremely popular
with her classmates. both here and at
the normal school at Gorham. and her
untimeiy death will be sincerely mourn
| ed.
The funeral will be held from the
family home on Middle street. so pre-
sent plans are. at 2 o'clock Monday

The launch of the DreadnouGht, the
largest and most powerful battleship of
The worlds navies, marks the first
stage in what the British admiralty
claim as the greatest achievement in
naval construction. On Oct. .. 1905
only a few days over four months ago,
work was commenced at Portsmouth,
on the vessel, the first Of what is to
be known as the DreadnOught class.
The promise was made then that she
would be launched within SIX months.
The admiralty has more than made
good their boast and Britishers have
another cause for pride in their navy
Another II months. all going well, the
Dreadnought will be commissioned and
join the Atlantic fleet. thus beating all
previous records in battleship building
by six months.
There are two reasons why the work
is being rushed on the Dreadnaught.
One is the great saving in cost but the
chief reason is that the ship is to
some extent an experiment and it is
desired to give her u good trial before
commencing construction on any
more of her class. Great Brit
ain it will be remembered was
the only power having attaches or OBJ
servers on japanese ships during the
Russo-Japanese war. While expert
British constructors were given every
opportunity of learning wherein the
ships of Japan proved weak or strong
as the case might be.
These men were busy from start to
finish of the war and Immediately af-
ter the battle of the Sea OF Japan came
home with their data, which was sub
mitted with suggestions, to n special
committee on which sat not only the
most experienced naval experts but
the director Of naval construction
L ord Kelvin, and a number of the lead
ing private ship builders. The Dread
nought is the outcome of their deliber-
ationS. an embodiment Of the lessons of
the late war in the Far East. a ship ap
parently invincible. capable at one dis
charge of her guEs of throwing with
unparalleled force twice as much met
al as any foreign man-ofwar now
a,lOat. while her arnor will render her
immune from attacks by any enemy s.
guns and. some claim. evenagainSt tor

construction remain q secret so we'll
has the admiralty guarded the plans.
Efforts Of naval attaches to gather in
formation for their governments have
been fruitlesS. No information is forth
coming, the answer to all inquiries be-
ing the candid one that Great Britain
intends to maintain secrecy as to what
her experts learned as a result of Jap
ans experiences for one year and by
rushing to completion the Dread
nought, will gain year if not more in
naval construction over all other pow
els except her ally.
