nuclssport schooner Lost .


The Bucksport schooner Susan Stetson
foundered fifty miles off Biddeford Pool
Monday Of last week. The crew, after
twenty-four hours at the pumps, aban-
doned the vessel and rowing eighteen
hours covered the fifty miles to Fletcher's
Neck life station, where they were cared
for.
The schooner was bound from South
Amboy for the Kennebec with 221 tons of
coal. She was commanded by Capt.
Bulmer. She left South Amboy Oct. %.
Sunday, Nov. 3, she was blown fifty miles
OF shore, and began to leak badly. BY
working constantly at the pumps the men
kept her afioat until Monday night, but
the water gained and they finally took to
the boat. The Stetson soon sank.
The Stetson was built in 1857 at Dam
ariscotta. She was owned by w. d. En-
erson, OF Bucksport, and was of 143 gross
tons,

An atmosphere of satisfaction per-
sneates the treasury department over
the financial situation. The plan
arranged by the secretary of the
treasury and the comptroller of the
currency for increasing the circulation
of the national banks is working out
rapidly, with the prospect that many
millions in currency will be thrown
into the volume already in circulation.
The plan is to promote the issue of
additional bank currency by permit
ting national banks to substitute
minor securities for the government
bonds now lying in the treasury as
security for federal deposits, provided
the government bonds thus released
are used to secure new issues of bank
notes. 1t is believed that, through
corporation among bankers, vast
amount of good may be accomplished
by swelling the volume of money in
actual circulation.

Keith,s Theatre. Boston

The swift pace that has been set at
Keith's this season IN the way of shows
combining novelty and merit will be
maintained, for among the big features
will be Bransby Williams, Al Leech and
the Three Rosebuds, the Willy Painter
troupe, the Novelties, Callahan and St.
George, and the Murray sisters.
Lovers of Dickens have great treat in
store for them in the engagement of
Bransby Williams, whose characterize
tions, the make-ups for which are taken
from the drawings of Cruikshank, Bar
nard and Phiz, are remarkable in many
ways.
The return of Al Leech to vaudeville is
one Of the notable events of an eventful
season. Assisted by the Three Rosebuds,
he presents a skit that is full of merry
moments.
The Willy Panther troupe of acrobats
were announced for last week, but cir
cumstances held them back for week, a
fact that viii only add to the welcome
they are sure to receive.
The Novelties with their miniature circus
scored so heavily this week that they have
been retained as leading feature. s'The
Old Neighborhood," the sketch presented
by Callahan and st. George, is one of the
best things in vaudeville, while the
Murray sisters are two pretty girls who
know what the public want in the way of
songs.
The bill will also include Phil Bennett,
with pleasing vocalisms; Elsie Harvey
and boys, in dancing novelty, the
Abbots, in sketch; the Hurleys, acro5ats;
Mozarto, a versatile instrumentalist;
Hagan and Weseott, in playlet, and the
kinetograph, with its customary quota of
new motion pictures.

Lusitania Lowers Her Record


The marvellous record esta blished less
than month ago by the giant turbine
Cunarder Lusitania, when she cut down
the passage time across the Atlantic, has
been broken by the same steamer. Incl
dentally she added several new records to
her credit. These include the best single
days run-61s knots, made on Nov. g. an
average of more than 900 knots for every
full day, and an average hourly speed Of
24.25 knots for the full 2,7S1 miles.
The best previous record for the west
ward passage was made by the Lusitania
on her second voyage, when she covered
the distance in four days, nineteen hours
and fifty-two minutes. The voyage ended
Friday, over the same course, was COM
pleted in four days, eighteen hours and
forty minutes, thus clipping one hour and
twelve minutes from the previous low
mark, and in the face of conditions none
too favorable. From the start the weather
was stormy, and on the last two days she
drove straight into the teeth OF strong
wind, heavy seas and occasional sharp
SQUALLS.

The Reporter,s Version

How reporters sometimes make absurd
mistakes in gathering news was humor-
ously illustrated not long ago, when
Helicon Hall, Upton Sinclair's Utopian
colony, burned down. Among those in
iured was Mrs. Grace MACEDONIAN Cooke,
the well-known author. A youthful re-
porter on one Of the big New York dailies,
eager to get his story in the first edition,
wrote hurriedly that "Grace MacGowan,
the cook, suffered from serious burns"
And this reminds us of typographical
error in one of Ella Wheeler Wilcox's
poems. The author had written for a
newspaper sonnet containing this line:
"My soul is lighthouse keeper" To her
amusement the verse read in print: "My
soul is light housekeeper.p

Secretary Metcalf has referred the
matter OF the widening Of the locks
OF the Panama canal to the general
board of the navy, and it has made a
recommendation that their width be
increased from 100 to ITO feet. The
original plans provided for locks
ninety-five feet wide, subsequently
increased to 100 feet, and the length
extended from 900 feet to 1000 feet.

poses OF way.
