RiTH, Me-. WILL CELEBRATE.
500 Years Ago They Buiit Anne ricas First
seaGoang Vessel There.

BANGOR, Me, July 2L.-In Bath from
August S TO 0 will be celebrated the SOOth
anniversary of the construction Of the first
seagoiug vessel in the new world
The first ship was the pinnace Virginia.
and she was not much Of a craft in COM
parison with the big vessels Of to-day. But
in those days, viii scarcely a nail to work
with and the builders put to extremes to
ind the iron for bands and the tools where
with to fashion the timber, the completion
Of the vessel was regarded as q great
achievement.
The Virginia was rugged somewhat as a
h~ermaphrodite brig, with. however, one
immense sail instead Of several smaller
sails. She was about % feet in length and
in modern measurement would register
about forty tons. She made several voyages
bet ween jamestown and London
The celebration will primarily and chiefly
be Of Names achievements in shipbuilding.
Bath to-day sends out many splendid
sohooners and has a creditable representa-
ton in the United States Navy. When the
industry was at it's best practically every
thing used in the construction Of ships came
from Bath and it's immediate vicinity, with
the exception of some grades Of iron. To-
0aV the TeNcTSt 10 tEuc, III pThCtiCully
nothing comes from the vicinity OF the
great shipysrds.
Once the forests of Maine provided every
stick OF timber used In the craft built along
the Kennebec. To-day only the most UNI
important s~tringers and stanchions are
found In the wilderness Of the North, nearly
everything being brought 70 the place of
construction from the West and the South.
While there 10 no such activity in the yards
as prevailed up to fifteen or twenty years
ago, Bath is still busy and the prospect is
bright.
The building Of ships has been the prin-
cipal industry Of Bath for $50 years and
hundreds Of splendid craft have been put
afoatduring that time. the tonnage amount
ing to over 1000. 900 since the time Of es-
tabiishing the Government recor5 81 ;7s3.
After the construction and departure of
the Virginia il was nearly seventy wears
before the keel of another vessel was laid
on the shores OF the kennebec. Then Sir
William Phipps established q yard at Wool
witch.
Oak for the frames and pine for the
spars grew In abundance in the surround
Androscoggin and Kennebec, offered ample
facilities FOR floating the logs to the Yards.
while the precipitous shores along the
towns waterfront enabled the builders 10
launch with safety the largest craft con-
structed.
so the industry grew and hourisbed
until the hard times OF American shipping
came and then IL languished. Now II Il
reviving and the time is thought to be not
far distant hen every one Of the great
Yards will be busy.

OLD HOME WEEK REUNION
is NOW AN ASSURED SUCCESS
A Delightful Family Reunion.

Saturday. 9th inst, dawncd bright
and beautiful and near ten o'clock about
thirty-six children, grand children,
great grand children, relatives and
friends began to gather in at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Hetrick, of
Pansy, to cheer and have good social
time together, and to say that they
realized their fondest desires is putting
it mildly indeed, for after hearty hand
shaking and cordial greetings, cherry
voices and merry peals of laughter were
heard in all directions, which betoken-
ed that each one was on the lofty
heights OF enjoyment
The dinner hour arrived duly and
found sumptuous feast laid on the
table under the cool shade trees reflect
ing honor on the family for being good
providers and skillful in the culinary
department, and need not add that all
did ample justice to this abundant re-
past, the preacher not excluded.
Mr.. Hetrick is one of the most aged
and honored citizens of Beaver town.
ship, and enjoys these annual home
comings OF the children as only a de-
voted father can, and no doubt it makes
him think, as it does us, of that joyous
reunion of all believing children in our
Fathers home on high.
The day was certainly spent in man
ner befitting christian people, and all
too soon the clock gave the signal to
disperse, and, no doubt, as each one re-
paired to his or her respective home
they realized the truth of the sentiment
that in diffusing happiness you are
made happy yourself.

A WOMAN'S QUICK EYE.
II Was the Means of Gaining a Fortune
at Monte Carlo.


Nearly every one who has been to
Monte Carlo has heard of Mamma
Viaud, a little, bent old French wo-
man, a widow, who played for years.
mamma" Viaud played roulette each
day from morning until night Her
beady eyes, twitching nervously, saw
nothing but tie ivory ball as 1t fell
into Il. cell. - they watched her
stagS "'"g from the gaming tables
late a ri hi rc0ple pitied her.
Her whole soul, her life. seemed alb
sorbed in the awful desire OF winning.
The old woman at times lost heavily
for her; then she regained her losses.
For a long time she was enabled to
live and continue her feverish pursui,
Of the game.
One night the old woman lost nearly
all her store. As she passed from the
table, despair in her eyes, her attention
was attracted by another wheel She
stopped and bent over the table.
Again and again the wheel spun
around and stopped. The o.d woman's
eyes sparkled. A flush suffused her
pallid cheeks.
AS she left the room she clapped her
hands, and her laugh-a shrill, mock
ing chuckle-startled the gamesters as
ominous, uncanny.
Better watch the old woman!' one
of the official lookouts told detective.
He followed Mamma" Viaud to her
hotel. He listened outside of her door
There was no alarming sound. In a
short while she extinguished her lights
and evidently had retired.
The following evening she reappear-
ed in the gaming hall. Her eyes still
sparkled; her cheeks were still flushed.
With her were several notorious game
sters. They approached table. "Mam-
ma" Viaud began to play.
She won. The gamblers, who had
loaned her money, watched. She play
ed a second time and won and third
time and won. The gamblers looked
on amazed and saw the old woman
raking in thousands Of francs.
During the evening the old woman
sat by the table, playing persistently.
Her winnings doubled, trebled, quad
rupled and piled up about her.
The management became alarmed
A consultation was held. Special de
tectives were sent to watch her. Scores
had gathered about the table, looking
on breathlessly at her wonderful run
of luck. The detectives reported to
the management that "NTnmma" Wand
was playing a certain combination of
numbers that invariably won.
One of the directors hesought the old
woman to desist playing. The bank
would be broke, he declnred She
smiled and continued to play.
The director offered her 100000 to
cease playing. He doubled the figure
If she would tell him the secret Of her
success. He importuned her to take
100000, S250.000, only cease waging
her successful battle for gold.
Finally he offered her 100000. Ac-
cepting this. Mamma" Viaud. gather
ing together her fortune. told him very
quietly that in passing the table the
night before her quick eye had detect
ed that the ball of this particular
wheel stopped at al certain place at
regular intervals. The managers ex-
amined the wheel, found that it was
out Of order and congratulated them
selves upon having compromised with
the old woman.-Philadelph North
