son, residing two miles east Of Pros
lpect, was found lying along the Big
Four tracks near Martel Wednesday
at IL O'Clock midnight, in semi
conscious condition, and his left foot
crushed off. The details Of the acci-
dent are unknown. lt
The almost breathless means OF the
| injured man were heard by crowd
of young people who were returning
home from a party, When they
reached his side, he was SO weak
from the loss of blood and exposure
that he tainted completely away
His pockets were searched, and q
lletter was found from his sister, Miss
Ruth Johnson, of Prospect. He was
placed on train and brought to this
city, arriving here about o'clock
lin the morning. The ambulance Of
Hess and Markert transferred him
to the Sawyer Sanitorium, where he
received surgical attention.
The physicians examination dis
closed that Johnsons left foot had
been crushed completely of and 1t
was found necessary to amputate the
leg just below the knee. The oper-
alton was performed by Drs. Carl
Sawyer and DR.. Adair.
The young mans parents were i'm
mediately notified and arrived Mt the
bedside early this morning. johnson
left Prospect several months ago to
accept a position at Gallon as special
Erie policeman to act during the ma
chinists' strike. He quit his Job
Wednesday and 1t is supposed that he
attempted to ride freight to this
city when he was thrown under the
wheels. He has not recovered suf-
Aciently as yet to disclose the cause
of his misfortune.
When johnson was found at Mar
tel. he held lead pencil in one hand
and in the other slip OF paper. On
the paper was inscribed the words
Goodbye and line of nervous
scrawl that could not be interpreted.
1t was very evident that he thought
that he would die and was making
an effort to write farewell letter
to his parents when he tainted away \
His condition is slightly improved
this afternoon and the physicians
think that he will recover.

The Legislature has changed the
name of Widows Island to Chase Is
land in honor of Hon. E. E. Chase of
Bluehill, who was instrumental in Sc
curing the island for the State. 1t has
been used for two seasons as summer
hospital for the convalescent insane.
A special to the Boston Herald speaks
of it as zone of the prettiest OF hundreds
of islands which dot Penobscot bay"
whereas it is treeless with no attrac-
tive features of it's own. 1t is situated
at the northern entrance of Fox Island
Thoroughfare, and commands an ex-
tended view of the eastern bay. An
other error, persistently made and
which has appeared in the State reports,
is that the hospital on this island was
built by the national government at
the time of the Spanish-American war.
The island was bought and the hospit-
al built years before that, and 1t was
originally intended as hospital for
yellow fever patients-a very foolish
undertaking, as with yellow fever con-
tracted in the West Indies or Central
or South America the patients would
either die or recover before they could
reach Widows Island. The hospital
was never used, and was in charge of
care-t aker until it was turned over To
tie Maine authorities.

The National Board of Trade at its
recent session in Boston adopted
resolution adverse to the proposition
for parcels post. The Boston deiega-
ton voted solidly for the resolution
and opposed the parcels post on gen.
eral principles. The great mail order
houses. several of which are located IN
Chicago, have been prominent in ad-
yocacy of parcels post. The Chicago
houses alone do a mail order business
of from S5O,ooO,OO0 to S75, OOO,O 900 year.
They are really mail department stores.
Their large catalogues advertise all
sorts of articles from cradle TO a
tombstone. A parcels post would enable
them to cut in on the business OF the
small stores throughout the country
Wholesale merchants and manufacture
ers were especially active in urging the
adoption of the resolution against the
parcels post on the ground that with
the aid of this system the mail ordel

Has any reader of current fiction no
ticed the great similarity in the stories
of "rhe Crisis" by Winston Churchill,
ard THE Little Shepherd of Kingdom
Come" by John Fox, Jr? They are
practically identical, although the To-
calities are different. In ''The Crisis"
the hero is young man from Boston,
who goes to st. Louis to study law just
before the outbreak of the Civil War
He meets, several times, the daughter
of prominent resident, who affects to
scorn him. When war comes the hero
takes the northern side, which further
incenses the southern girl. Her cousin
espouses the Confederate cause and she
becomes engaged to him. The william
is young man her father had employed
and who becomes the manager of a
large business, of which he finally gains
both sides-for consideration. The
hero and the Confederate meet fire.
quently during the war, and Sherman,
Grant, Lincoln and others figure in the,
story. In the end the Northerner mar
ries the Scuthern girl. In ''The Little
Shepherd the hero is waif from the
mountains of Kentucky who is taken
into the home of a prominent man
afterwards proved to be kinsman. AS
a little boy he is scorned by little girl,
the daughter of neighbor. When
grown to manhood the Civil War breaks
out and he is impelled to turn his back

and another the grey. The william is an
overseer, who robs his employer and
like the clerk of the former story is on
both sides. The leading characters in
the war appear as in s'The C&is," and
in the end the hero wins the girl he had
loved from the first. They are both
good stories and well told, but no one
can read one after the other without
noticing their great similarity.

In a letter to the Bangor CONNER
cial Mr.. {. 5. Griffin takes practically
the same view o. the recent collision
on the Sound as that taken by The
journal last week. He thinks the facts
show that 'the man at the wheel on
fhe Knowlton lost his head at the last
moment" And further:
Had the man at the wheel on the
kuoWlton had the nerve to keep his
course absolutely, he must have struck
theJ .archmont only glancing blow,
but seeing the Larchmont swinging to
starboard, he could see at a glance that
a little swing of his own vessel would
run them clear 1t was one of those
lightning flashes of thought that, If it
had been executed right would cleared
all in safety, but a single wrong motion
of his arm and all was lost. A brother
of mine once made this same mistake
and severely injured both vessels, but
no lives were lost. 1t is not an uncom-
mon error in excitement, only the con-
sequences in the Larchmont case are
uncommon.

concerns would soon drive the cross

was declared that many people living in
the country order by mail merely to
buy an article that comes from great
city and in spite of the increased cost.
Postmaster General Cortelyou is in
favor of permitting carriage by rural
carriers at fair rate of postage of
small parcels on rural routes, but he
would have such privilege restricted
in each case to the limits of the par
ticular route on which the parcel origi-
mates or perhaps to all the routes ema-
mating from single post office. This
is very different thing from general
parcels post.

been INDUSTRIOUS and in neither house
has time been wasted in talking for

"WHISKY" COLD CURES.
Danger of Using Alcoholic Mixtures or Coal
Tar Tablets.

Danger of Using Alcoholic Mixtures or Coal
Tar Tablets.
Laying aside all moral obj ectionS against
filling up the system with whiskey or drugs
because one has cough or cold, the dan
gerous physical effects should be sufficient
to keep one from using these strong medi-
zines.
A thoroughly scientific way to treat
cough and cold as well as sensible method
is to breath Hyomei through the neat peck
ct inhaler that comes with every outfit. The
first breath of its healing medication re-
lieves the irritation, and its continued use
soon effects a thorough cure.
The best people in Belfast always keep
Hyomei in the house during the winter
months, and at the first symptoms of cold
or bronchial troubles, use the remedy, and
prevent serious and lasting illness. The
guarantee that r. III. Moody gives with every
Hyomei outfit should convince you of its
curative powers. A complete Hyomei out
fit costs but $1.00, extra bottles if needed
SOC, and R. II. Moody guarantees to refund
the money if it does not give satisfaction.

boats. He had been quartermaster on the
Larchmont for two weeks, that being his
first position of that rank. He took charge
of the wheel soon after O'Clock, receiving
course OF west, quarter south from Pilot
Arson. The wind was northwest and
weather clear, no fog or snow The window
of the pilot house was down at the time.
Could see man in the darkness at the bow
of steamer and supposed he was the bow
man. The first the witness knew of the APP
preaching schooner was seeing her red and
green lights himself. Could see Watch Hill
light at the time. 1t was about two minutes
after first seeing the schooner that the col
lision occurred. When first seen, thought
schooner was half Il mile Off Lookout re-
ported her to pilot who said, "All right"
Pilot told witness to port his wheel a little,
which order was obeyed.
This action shut out view of the
schoOner's red light, but showed the green
light. Pilot then told him to port wheel
more and witness gave it port as fast as he
could Could see schooner's green light all
the time about quarter of a mile away as
the wheel was put to port.
Collision occurred about half minute
later Did not notice how the steamer was
heading then as did not look out because
holding onto wheel and that all he could do
had not reduced speed. Pilot pulled whistle
just as schooner was onto steamer.
Schooner was SO near that steamers
electric lights showed on her hull Pilot
did not say a word at the time, gave no
orders to witness Witness did not notice
what the pilot did Just after the collision
and next saw him outside the pilot house
Captain sent witness below to see if
engines would work, the captain entering
the piothOuse almost the moment of the
collision. Captain said something to pilot :;
| witness did not know what.
Witness left pilot and captain at the pilot
house and went as far toward engine room
as he could on account of steam. Steam
was so hot on main deck as to choke wit
ness. Being unable to get further witness
hurried back to pilot house too choked to
speak at first, finally able to make captain
