THE REPORTERS VERSION.
From Lippincott's.

iloill ILlPplltoll -.
How reporters sometimes make alb
surd mistakes in gathering news was
humorously illustrated not long ago,
when Helicon Hall, Upton Sinclair's
Utopian colony, burned down. Among
those injured was Mrs. Grace Mac
Gowan Cooke, the we'll known author.
A youthful reporter on one of the big
New York d%ailies, eager to get his story
in the first edition, wrote hurriedly that
Grace MarGowan, the cook. suffered
from serious ,urns."
And this reminds US Of a Topographic
cal error in n Of Ella Wheeler Viii
,cox's poems. The author had written
for a newspaper a sonnet containing
this line:
Ny soul is a lighthouse keeper.
To her anazement, the verse read in
print:
My soul is a light housekeeper

y friend would cheat his God" =

Four or i've people left SAsgway Saturday evening for the deserted village across the iulec. While they said little they did not get away so quietly but tna, it was known before dark that they had purchased prUspector' picks and had taken camp. ing outfit. Yesterday morning, bright and early. according to a prearranged plau, a hail dozen others took the Hegg and left for the camp at the southren terminus of the old ChilkUOt route. @
 That settled it. 4 strike had been made, and there was more or less snolhered excilment about town all! day. Some people, even yet, refuse to believe the statement that a few people who have spent manySundsys lowering over no, coal fires had taken advantage of the first warm Sunday Of Spring to try their legs and wings iu the country.
 The excursiouists were c. C. Runner, Ms. Whittier, MA. Snow, Mr. LitCler. B. Der6yshire, c. II Schetiecr c. c, Lawrence, LII. Bsylsss, A.Manshreck, and ". R. aiIlsry.

TreadWell strikers 0b'act to Stomach Tre4tment

The strikers at Treadwell are not out contending over a matter of wages so much as for better board aud Ihe privilege of boarding where they desire. They object 10 the kind of food that is served to them and ask that the steward be discharged and that .hoss who do not board at the company house be given 8 greater allowance than now received on that account,
 The present arrangement is that married men can board st home instead of the company boarding house and they are allowed S2O per month additional wages for boarding them selves. The single men are compelled 10 board at the company house.
 The strikers ask that they be allowed to board where they please irrespective Of whether thay are married or not and that those who board themselves be allowed sl per day extra wages.
 To this first cause of the strike IS now added 8 demand by the strikers that the union be recognized.
 Superteudeut Einzie has refused to treat with the men as union men, or to consider any of their grievances other than the request to discharge the steward.

Need for Sidewalks.

The necessity Of laying sidewalks
around two small triangular parks at the
intersection of Massachusetts avenue, Sd.
4th and H streets. because of danger to
pedestrians at that point, has been called
to the attention of the Commissioners by
Capt. Michael Byrnes, commanding the
sixth police precinct, through Maj. Syl-
vester, chief of police. Capt. Byrnes says
the danger is increased by the traffic now
passing to and from the new union sta
ton.
Capt. Morrow, Engineer Commissioner
to whom the matter was referred. says
that it is his intention to correct this con-
dition. although the work may be delayed
in the event of Congress desiring street
railways to approach the union station by
way of Massachusetts avenue.

In connection with the proposed enter
tanment Bishop Henry Y. Satterlee has
briefly reviewed the history of the House
of Mercy. The institution has been
brought to a sound financial condition,
so far as the house itself is concerned, as
there Is not dollar of Indebtedness on the
property But the endowment fund is SO
small that the House of Mercy depends
entirely upon charity. Experience has
shown that the cost for board and lodging
| for each grown person is $3.50 week,
and $500 for each child. On this basis
| the institution needs "a 900 year.
The House, of Mercy was started by
wives of officers in the army and navy
nearly a quarter of a century ago. Since
the twentieth, century began it has been
under the management of Deaconess Voc
of the Episcopal church. Bishop Satter-
lee has said: 1.-THE success of the insti-
tuition has far outstripped all eXpecta-
tions, whereas. in ordinary cases the
! record shows that but a small percentage
| of fallen women are rescued, in the House
| of Mercy 90 per cent of those who come
within the sheltering protection of its
doors have been brought back to the
maths of virtue, 10 per cent of which in
mates have left it either osbe united in

last Friday, Oct. 4, at one O'Clock over
the remains of Mrs. Emma Foss Nc
Knight of Roxbury, Mass, whose
death occurred quite Unexpectedly
Sept. 20. The deceased had lived in
Roxbury, Mass, for over 20 years.

Death from Heart Failure.

James T. Leavitt of Norridgewock,
whose farm is situated on the Nor
ridgewock road, but short distance
beyond the Skowhegan line, was
stricken with heart failure, while
watching game of foot ball at Fair
view Park, Saturday afternoon, and
expired almost instantly. Mr.. Leavitt
had driven to the grounds with his
grandson, James Reid, who is men,
Der of the Skowhegan eleven. Short
~ after the game opened the ball was
kicked to the edge of the field and
into Mr.. Leavitt's wagon. The play
ers all rushed to that locality and it is
probable that the excitement thus
caused was sufficient to affect his
heart, which had been very weak for
long time. He was seen to be ill
and DIR. l. R. Boothby, who had been
acting as referee for the game was
summoned to his side. Heart stimu-
lants were administered hypodermic-
ally, but without success.
The deceased was born in this town
sixty eight years ago, the son of
James T. Leavitt, (Sr), well known
attorney and man of prominence In
the affairs of the town and county.
He attended the Skowhegan village
schools and studied at Bloomfield
Academy. He followed the occupa-
ton of farming for most of his life,
residing for the past thirty years on
the farm in Norridgewock above
mentioned. He was prominent
member Of Skowhegan Grange and
the members of that order, and all
others who knew Mr.. Leavitt, will
RENE mber him as an unse1fish, gen.
erous and kindly man who would be
fully content with what may be here
said of him, were it but the simple
state ment which may in his case be
truthfully made, mo man will re-
me Der a wrong done by him.
Mr.. Leavitt was of family of four
children, one of whom died in infan-
cy. A sister, Hester Ann Fuller
died in this place and brother, Chas.
Leavitt, in the West He is survived
by widow, formerly Miss Clara B.
White, and FIVE children, Mrs. Mary
Reid of Montana, Mrs. Hannah E.
Flint of Port Deposit, Md, Mrs. Nellie
Hill, Mrs. Thankful Adams and Miss
Hazel T. Leavitt of this place. A
daughter, Mrs. Cora Parker, died
some years since.
All of the children now living, ex
cept Mrs. Reid, were present at the
funeral services which were observed
at the home YESTERDAY afternoon,
conducted by the Rev. George
Merriam. Burial was in this place at
the South Cemetery.
