Raising Tobacco in Maine.

It has apparently remained for
Pope Gibbs to demonstrate in his
own garden, situated about a mile
from the Soldiers Home, in Togus,
that tobacco can be successfully
grown in Maine Last year Mr..
Gibbs raised about eighty pounds of
tobacco from seventy-nine plants.
This year he raised very nearly the
same amount from only thirty-five
plants, the season being much more
favorable for the growth of the plant.
Mr.. Gibbs had no difficulty in dis
posing of the tobacco which he
raised last year and which was gem
orally conceded to be of excellent
quality. He cured it in his barn,
which has ventilator and where by,
opening the doors he was able to get
the current of air necessary for the
best results, the conditions being
quite as favorable as in the best to-
bacco curing plants of the South.
The opinion was very generally ex-
pressed last season that while Mr..
Gibbs was successful in raising to-
bacco in this State it would not be
possible to mature the seed here.
This year he has disproved this idea
by maturing tobacco stalk more
than seven feet high with an excep-
tionally well developed cluster Of
seeds. -Kennebec Journal.

BARD OF HIGH ROCK DEAD.
John w. Hutchinson, Last of Famous
Family, q Victim of Gas.

Lynn, Mass.-John w. Hutchin-
son, known as "The Bard of High
Rock" and last of the famous Hutch
inson family, whose temperance and
abolition songs before the Civil War
and during that conflict made their
names known throughout the coun-
try, died at his home, High Rock, in
this city, of gas poisoning. He was
eighty-seven years old.
The Hutchinsons' home was in Mil
ford, N. HI. The family" included
sixteen children, of whom twelve
were boys All had good voices and
they quickly became popular when
they began singing together in pub
lie. In the years before the Civil
War they toured the country, but
their greatest prominence was gained
during the war, when, by special
permit from the War Department,
they visited many OF the Union camps
and sang to the soldiers. Mr.. Hutch
inson had long lived in this city,
where, from his fame and his patri-
archal appearance, he was known as
1.-THE Bard of High Rock"
He is survived by a widow.

The Fleets Of the Air.

One of the peculiar possibilities of
aerial navigation is the belief, among
some of the army officers at least,
that the perfection of the aeroplane
will mean the gradual decline Of ma
vies, and the RELOCATION of expensive
battleships to the junk heap. 1t is
understood, of course, that such a
change would not come about in a
year nor probably in ten years, but
the success that has attended the re-
cent flights of the Wright aeroplane
would seem to indicate the eventual
reduction of naval appropriations of
all warlike nations of the world

London. Suffragette disturbances

unusual course of temporarily closing

During the course of the evening,
while the House was discussing the

by the display of placard and sud-

Revival of Ancient Harvest Festiva,

A unique service was held at Sells
ton, a mining village, yesterday after
noon. At one time Selston was fairly
rich in charities, but about 100 years
ago they were allowed to lapse. Some
of the charities consisted in the dis
tribution of bread to the poor on
Lammas, or Loafmass day, and also
on the tolling of the church bells on
Goose Fair eve. This distribution
took place from a tombstone in the
parish churchyard. In order to re-
vive this custom the rector held a
similar service yesterday, when
loaves presented by the Pensioners
were given away from the same tomb
stone, and in order to enhance their
value and the interest attached a
silver coin was baked in the loaves.
