TANSERY BURNED.
Hancock Leather Co.'s Plant al
No. 30 DESTROYED.

Hancock Leather Co.'s Plant at
No. 80 Destroyed.
The plant Of the Hancock Leather Co.
in Riceville, formerly Hancock Tannery,
was burned Saturday forenoon. The fire
started in the roll house from the explo-
sion Of a lantern.
The entire plant was destroyed, together
with about $4,000 worth Of leather. The
total loss is about si5, 900, with insurance
OF 34,75o
The plant was originally an extract
works, and was afterward taken over by
Buzzell & Rice and converted into tan
merry.
In 1898 the Hancock Leather Co., COM
posed of james Rice and his sons, Frank
X. and John II. Rice, all of Bangor, was
formed, and has since carried on the BUSH
ness, operating the plant at Riceville and
also tannery at Amherst. The Amherst
plant was burned in November, 1901.
The plant at Riceyille consisted OF roll
house, bark mill, loft, saw mill and boiler
and engine house, with extensive bark
yards, boarding house and general
store. The crew employed at the time of
the fire Saturday consisted OF about TWEEN
ty-five men. At the time of the fire the
stock of hides on hand had been greatly
reduced by recent large shipments, and
there was not much bark on hand, al
though the company was about to haul in
1900 cords from the woods.
The buildings and machinery were val
ued at $4,000 to $50, 700, and were insured
for s23, go. The hides in process of tan
ming were worth about $4,000, and were
insured for 81, 500. The boarding house
and store were not burned.
The company has not yet considered the
matter of rebuilding.

Keith,s Theatre, Boston

Harry Tate and his company of
comedians will be the topline
feature of the bill at Keith's for the week
OF Jan. 8, in sketch called "Motoring".
One New York writer declares it is funnier
than anything being offered in the way OF
humor on either the variety or the "legit-
innate" stage.
The sketch treats of the breaking down
of motor party on country road. A
father is hurrying his son back to college,
and the collapsing of the motor car upsets
his nerves quite as much as it does the
machine. 1t will give automobilists an
excellent opportunity to see themselves as
others see them.
The surrounding show includes Al w.
Filson and Lee Enroll, who have not been
seen here in six years, in farce, "a Tip
on the Derby" Julian Eltinge, formerly
OF the Cadets theatricals, in tepsichorean
specialties; George Wilson, blackface
comedian and stump orator; Pat Rooney
and Marion Bent, in a comedy and aero
baltic specially; Luigi Del Orc, European
novelty musician; yaleno brothers, aero
bats and equilibrists, and Leo Carrillo,
pleasing mimetic comedian.
The usual list OF comedy and interesting
motion pictures will be shown in the

ACCIDENT TO ALFRED NJ. FRYE.

ACCIDENT TO ALFRED NJ. FRYE.
An account of serious accident to AL
fred NJ. Frye, assistant teacher in Leices-
ter tMass.) academy, and son-in-law of
Daniel Y. Mcfarland, of this place, as
printed in Massachusetts paper, is as
follows:
Alfred M. Frye, assistant teacher at
Leicester academy, Leicester, Mass, is in a
critical condition at his home as the re-
suit of burns received while acting the
part OF Santa Claus at Christmas tree
observance at the Unitarian parish house
Saturday evening, Dec. %. Mr.. Frye, as
Santa Claus, had supplied the children of
the First Congregational church, and Of
fered cordially to do the same for the
smaller crowd at the Second church.
1t was the Christmas observance, in
tended especially for the children. There
was a supper for them and a spruce tree
about twelve feet in height was set upon
the platform and loaded with presents. 1t
was lighted with candles. Mr.. Frye wore
a red cape and the long hair and whiskers
that typify Santa Claus. The costume was
made Of light inflammable material.
As he stood near the tree ready to begin
his work, his coat was brought in contact
with one OF the lighted candles. Like a
flash the flames shot up, enveloping cloak,
whiskers and hair of Santa Claus, and
shooting above his head. He tore off the
platform and sprang to the floor, where
Harry Sargent and Henry o. Smith
stripped off the rest of the costume that
| Mr.. Frye was wearing over his ordinary
clothing.
DR.. Leslie Fl. George was called to the
parish house to attend the injured man.
He worked nearly an hour until it seemed
safe for him to be removed to his home in
the left wing of the academy. DR.. George
passed most of the night there in attend
ance and the high school boys, Mrs.
Frye's special assistants, have attended in
pairs day and night to render services
DIR. George found Mr.. Frye burned terri
bly, about the chest, face and neck. There
were deep burns around his nose and
/ mouth, and very deep burns around the
ears and the deep vessels OF the neck.
There were deep burns on the right hand,
while the left was slightly burned.
| On Sunday, Mrs. Frye's brother, Melvin
Mcfarland, OF Boston, who had learned
of the accident in the morning paper,
fastened to Leicester.
| Principal Raymond Mcfarland and
wife, who live at the academy with Mr.,
and Mrs. Frye, were in Washington when
| the accident occurred. Word was not
sent them when it was found Mr.. Frye's
case would not prove fatal, as it was feared
they would cut their trip short if they
learned of it.
Mr.. Frye is steadily importing and it is
hoped will be able to attend to his school
duties in two or three weeks.

FOR WAR ON WILDCAT MINING
Convention to Be Held at Denver VIII
Seek to Kill Frauds.

Denver, Col.-Definite action for
the protection of investors in mining
enterprises will be taken by the
American mining congress, which will
open in Denver October 16. A bill
providing for the punishment of all
mining fakirs and promoters Of illegit-
innate mining enterprises will be
drafted and the measure will be sub
mitted to the legislatures of the vari-
Gus states interested. The measure
will likely be modelled after that of
the California law which in broad
terms makes it felony to use wrong
full representations about mining prop
critics.
BY furnishing protection against
mining frauds, it is hoped to turn in.
vestment into successful channels by
which the mineral production may be
largely increased and the investor find
profit instead of loss.
Steps will also be taken to create
mine drainage districts and for the
establishment of a department OF
mines and mining as separate exec
utive department of the national gov
ernment.

WORST FORM OF ECZEMA.

about four years ago was aflict'

face and a few covering my body,
which produced a severe itching irri'
tation, and which caused me great
deal of annoyance and suffering, to
such an extent that l was forced to
call in two of the leading physicians
of my town. After thorough exami-
nation of the dreaded complaint they
announced it to be skin eczema in its
worst form. They treated me for the
same for the length of one year, but
the treatment did me no good. Fin
ally my husband purchased a set of
the Cuticura Remedies, and after
using the contents of the first bottle
of Cuticura Resolvent in connection
with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
the breaking out entirely stopped. l
continued the use of the Cuticura
Remedies for six months, and after
that every splotch was entirely gone
and the affected parts were left as
clear as ever. The Cuticura Rene
dies not only cured me Of that dread
full disease, eczema, but other compli-

EACH MAN HIS OWN MOTOR BOAT
French Inventor Devses Plan to Sup
ply Human Body with Power.

The French inventor who devised
the motor boats has now conceived an
adaptation Of the petrol power for
supplying the human body with me-
chanical power for propulsion in the
water. Every man may thus become
his own motor boat.
In order to use the device a person
need not be swimmer, for in addi.
ton to its propulsive powers the APP
paratus is devised to keep the body
afioat. A water-tight box containing
little perol engine and fuel supply
is strapped to the users back
T'he inventor thinks the chief use
Of the apparatus will be in lifesaving,
for in IN emergency the operator has
only to start the motor by turning
little crank, sling the box on his back
and launch himself in the water.

LIGHT ON A TRAGEDY
SAILORS MAY HAVE STARVED IN
NATURAL PRISON.
Boat and Raft of Lost Steamer Valen'
cia and Eight Skeletons Found +
in Cave on Pacific Coast
Rock Barred Egress.

Victoria B. CA dispatch from
Carmanah respecting the finding OF a
lifeboat and a pontoon from the
steamer Valencia in caves with eight
skeletons has been supplemented by a
later message from the lighthouse
keeper at Carmanah, which throws
further light on the find. He does not
indicate where the cave is located or
who has made the find, but his descrlp-
ton of the situation indicates that
there is a possibility that the skele-
tons are those of a band less fortunate
even than those who remained on the
Valencia and went down to certain
death. His information gives rise TO
the possibility that the eight persons
represented by the skeletons now dis
covered were caught in trap, sur
rounded by high stone walls, and
there starved to death.
The cave in which the boat and the
skeletons were found is described as
barred at the entrance by a large rock.
The passage on either side OF this
rock is far too narrow to permit OF
the boat being taken out that way
Apparently the boat got in by beng
washed over the top of the obstruct'
ing rock on the crest OF great
wave. Once behind the rock access
TO the open sea was cut off, even when
the water subsided, as it was impos'
sible to get the boat past the barrier.
The prisoners were also walled In
from freedom on the land side and
must there have perished for lack Oh
food.
The boat is not damaged except for
a small hole in the forward air cham
ber near the gunwale. To take 1t out
of its place will require strong force
of men. The light keeper says: i am
too short-handed here to. do any,
thing"
The cave is apparently a gathering
place of debris, as the lighthouse keep
er says that in order to make an at
tempt at identifying the skeletons IL
would be necessary to remove several
tons of rubbish which had since ac'
cumulated, and with that accom-
plished something might be found
within the cave which would give q
clue as to the identity of the unfor-
tunate refugees who perished in the
prison.
The Indians, it is reported, knew OF
the presence of the boat and bodies
for several months, but kept it secret.
In the absence of knowledge OF the
source of the information it is pre-
sumed that it came from the Indians.
Capt Gaudin's personal opinion Is
that the story will prove false one
He inclines to the belief that it has
originated with the Indians, but Will
have the matter fully investigated.
Capt. Gaudin points out that it is I'M
reasonable to suppose that boat
would be dashed over a rock such as
is described as barring the entrance
of the cave and sustain practically no
injury. This feature Of the story,
Can't, Gaudin thinks, throws a very
strong suspicion on its reliability. He
further thinks it unlikely that in the
patrol of the coast which took place
Immediately after the wreck occurred,
such a spot as described should escape
notice.
