"HIGH FINANCE"

"M here Did You Get 1t Gentlemen?'
is the title of series of articles Charles
Edward Russell is writing for Every
body's Magazine, and in which he will
show by what means the many multi
millionaires of today acquired their for
tunes. In the August number he says:
teNo other men have been so rich as
some New York men; SO many rich
men have not gathered in another place.
With pride and awe we count here one
man whose wealth is reputed to be one
thousand million dollars, five men
whose wealth is estimated at more
than three hundred millions each, four
thousand men whose wealth is com
puted at one million or more EACH" AS

State an additional expense Of about
$1,000 a year for the two institutions,
and there will naturally be an increase
from year to year. This will also apply
to the insane, only at much greater
cost. The State is already engaged in
road building, paying half the expense
of the so-called State roads, and it has
been proposed that it should build and
maintain the bridges. 1t should be
plainly seen that all this is only shift
ing of tax burdens; that whether the
expenditures in these directions are
made by the towns, cities, or the State,
they will have to be met by the people.
Generally speaking the most strenuous
advocates of paternalism are those who
have most to say concerning the in
crease in State expenditures. But if
the State has to assume the whole ex-
pense Of caring for the insane and the
inmates of reform schools and build
and maintain our roads and bridges
there must necessarily be an increasing

THE SEA GIVES UP ITS DEAD.

Last Thursday the body of William
Veague, one of the six young men drowned
in Penobscot Bay July 9th, was dragged
up from the bottom not far from the ioca-
ton of the sunken yacht. The same day
the pants worn by Laurent D. Hall of Ban
gor, the only survivor, which he had taken
off while struggling in the water, were
brought to the surface. Friday three more
bodies were brought up on travis not far
from the sunken yacht by George and Syl-
vester Morey, who have been working since
the accident sweeping the bay in two motor
boats with a trawl between them The
bodies were in a good state of preservation
and were easily identified as Frederick
Ringwall, Roy Palmer and Harry J. Dugan
A reward of $50 for each body will be paid
the Morey brothers. The two bodies MISS
ing are those of Raymond Smith and Amos
F. Robinson. The search for the bodies
has been conducted at the expense of SYM
pathetic and public spirited citizens of Ban
gor, who at once subscribed 500 and Or
ganized for the work. They endeavoredt
get the revenue cutter Woodbury. and also
engaged a diver, and after unavoidable
delay both arrived on the scene last Satur-
day. The diver was Nat Goodwin of South
Portland. The searchers were forced to
abandon work early Sunday afternoon on
account of southeastern which rolled up
a heavy sea in the bay. Diver Gordon,
after making three descents and thoroughly
overhauling the sloop, gave it up and left
for Portland. The sunken sloop Ruth Z.

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, a staunch
Democratic newspaper. says it sis
generally supposed that Bryan will be
nominated next year, and it is general
Nv believed that, should he make an
other canvass for the Presidency, a
third defeat will be added to his record. y
Or as an esteemed contemporary puts
it. ''the nomination of Bryan is probable
and his election impossible" The
Eagle also notes an awakening in the
South. Many of the influential news
papers and some of the conspicuous
Democrats are beginning to ask why 1t
should be taken for granted that the
party will let the next election go by
default, which is what it will virtually
do should it take its candidate from
Lincoln, Nebraska. This moves the
Eagle to say;
This suggests an opportunity. From
Rryan himself has come the weapon
with which he may be beaten. He has
advocated government ownership ana
apoIoeiZed After brave advance, he
has beaten a retreat ignomlnlous and
humiliating. So sorry is the spectacle
he now presents, that almost any
prominent Eastern Democrat, taking
advantage of the psychological moment,
can turn the Eastern tide, can swing 1T
in the direction it is taking in the South.

NEWS OF THE ORANGES.

Union Harvest Grange, Center Montville,
will resume its work next Saturday night
after a haying recess of four weeks which
this year was none too long owing to the
rainy weather.
Morning Light Grange, Monroe, has not
suspended operations for the midsummer
season, but is holding regular, wel-attend-
ed and interesting meetings. At recent
session the topic for discussion was the
Orange Hawkweed and the general opinion
was that thorough clean cultivation is the
only remedy for the evil. Saturday even
ing, August Sd, the question discussed was,
"Resolved, That good vegetable garden is
a more valuable feature of farm than a
good field of corn" and it was decided in
the affirmative. AS it is believed that "a
little nonsense now and then is relished by
the best of men," the question at the next
meeting will be the frivolous and familiar
inquiry, (which would you rather do or go
fishing9" A large and varied assortment
of answers is expected.
Morning Light Grange, Monroe, has adopt
ed the following resolutions of respect
Whereas, Death has entered our ranks
and removed from our Grange Brother
Howard Moore, therefore, be it
Resolved, That in the death of Brother
Moore, Morning Light Grange has lost a
worthy and honorable member.
Resolved, That as Grange we give ex
preston of our loss by framing these reso-
buttons and rendering our departed Brother
due respect by draping our charter in
mourning for period of thirty days That
we extend to the Borrowing family our deep
sympathy for their loss, and copy of these
resolutions be sent to them and copy
placed on our records and copy sent to the
