ANXIETY for a Hath shin

Some anxiety is felt for the big Bath
ship, he Arthur Sewall, which sailed from
Delaware breakwater for Seattle, WASH,
on April 3, and has not been heard from
since. The Sewall, Capt. Gafaey, has
been out Just 212 days, on passage which
has been made in less than half that time,
and for which 120 days is considered
ample under ordinary conditions.
The William P. Frye, sister ship of the
Arthur Sewall, which left Cape Henry for
San Francisco May 2, arrived at her desti-
nation Sept. IS, having covered the dis
lance in 141 days. All vessels which have
arrived from around the Horn in the past
two months have reported unusually
heavy weather and rough passages.
The Arthur Sewall is four masted steel
ship Of 5000 tons gross, built at their yard
iu Bath in 1899 for their own account by
Arthur Sewall & Co. She is 1872 feet long,
and carries crew of about thirty men.

S.MUEL LEE LORD.

The death of Capt. Samuel L. Lord on
Oct. Is, in the seventy icurth year of his
age, removes from this community one of
its most sterling citizens, man of blame
less life, of high character, and of great
worth in the business, social and reli 2ious
circles in which he moved.
The funeral viii be held at the house on
Bridge hill tomorrow afternoon at 2
O'Clock.
Capt. Lord was born in Surry OF Oct. II,
1884. He married Mary Phoebe Wood in
1856, and for more than half century
they lived an ideal married life. Four
children have been born to them-Dr.
George A., who died in 1891; Mrs. Fred S.
Smith, of Gardiner; Lyman L., of Boston,
AID Everett w. OF San Juan, assistant
commissioner of education of Porto Rico.
Capt. Lord followed the sea from boy
hood; he early rose to the position OF
master-mariner, and was the captain of
coastwise and deep-sea vessels for forty
years. He retired about twelve years ago,
and entered the carriage business. Dur
ing the past year or two he had dealt
extensively in local real estate.
For the past three years he had been a
director of the Hancock county savings
bank, and at the last annual election was
made the president of that institution.
He was lifelong member of the Metho-
dist church, in the work of which he
took very active part, holding many
official positions.
He was a Free Mason, and was a charter
member of Donaqua lodge, K. Of P.
His son Lyman had been here for some
days, but returned to Boston last week,

The New Baby,

Eugene Wood, writing about the "New
Baby" in American Magazine, deplores
the departure from old-time customs in
the care and nurture of children. He
says:
"W hen the new baby cranlls talk Of a
long list OF things that folks eat and that
you really oughtn't to let child under
seven years old have, and under no cir
camstances think of letting child under
four have, it takes all the romance out OF
life; it reduces all the exciting chances OF
bringing up child to cold, passonless,
business proposition. Mother-love as a
guiding star gives place to a pair of scales
on which the new baby is weighed each
week, and if its weight comes up to the
standard for that week of life, that does
just as well.
''Love the baby little or love it a whole
lot is nothing; the question is: Does it
get so much of definitely prescribed food
exactly adjusted to its age and needs so
many times q day? Mother-love even
sinks to the low level of bodily warmt b
which, in these modern days, can be sup
piled in other ways. by no means may
the new baby sleep in the same bed with
it's mother. 1t will get along better if it
sleeps out OF doors. l call that in
human"

ga Night on House Boat" will be the
big novelty at Keith's next week. This is
Jesse Lasky's most recent and most ambi-
tious presentation, and in it he has ex-
celled all Of his previous efforts. The
title tells the tale. There are dozen in
the company, many catchy songs and
effective costumes.
There is no more popular singer with
the patrons of Keith's than Camille
D'Arville, who has not been seen in Bos-
ton in several seasons. She is in fine voice
these days, and is as handsome and attrac.
tive as ever.
Will H. Murphy, Blanche Nichols and
company are to present their roaring
farce, sFrom Ia Ia to Uncle Tom" It
will seem almost like new Offering, for it
is over two years since it was last seen at

reputation Of presenting the greatest

President Roosevelt Issues his AM
nual Proclamation for the Day.
President Roosevelt in his proclamation
naming Thursday, NOV. %, Thanksgiving
Day says:
Olce again the season OF the year has come
when. in accordance with the custom of our
foreiathers for generations past, the Presi-
dent appoints day as the especial occasion
for all our people to give praise and thanks
giving to God.
During the past year we have been free
from famine, from pestilence. from war. We
are at peace with all the rest of mankind.
Our natural resources are at least as great
as those OF any other nation. We believe that
in ability to develop and take advantage of
the resources the average man Of this nation
stands at least as high as the average man of
sny other.
Nowhere else in the world is there such an
opportunity for free people to develop to
the fullest extent all its powers of body, Ct
mind and of that which stand above both
booy and mind, character.
Mach has been given us from on high and
mach will rightly be expected of US in return.
Into care the ten talents have been en-
trusted, and we are to be pardoned neither,
hide them in napkin, for they must be
fruitful in our hands. Ever throughout the
ages at all times and among ali peoples, pros
perity has been fraught with danger, and it
behooves US to beseech the Oliver of all things
that we may not fall into love of ease and
luxury; that we may not lose our sense of
moral responsibility; that we many not for
get our duty to God and to our neighbor.
A great democracy like ours; democracy
based upon the principles of orderly liberty
can be perpetuated only, if in the heart OF the
ordinary citizen there dwells a keen sense Of
righteousness. We should earnestly pray
that this spirit of righteousness and justice
may grow even greater in the hearts of all Of
us, and that our souls may be inclined ever
more both toward the virtues that tell for
gentleness and tenderness, for loving kind
ness and forebearance one with another, and
toward those no less necessary virtues that
make for manliness and rugged hardihcod,
for without these qualities neither nation nor
individual can rise to the level Of greatness

by local applications, as they cannot reach
onlv one way to cure deafness and that Is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When this tn be
is infiamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
