WINTER ARRIVES. Winter, which had
been dallying along the way while we en-
joyed springlike or autumnal weather, ar
rived last week. We say enjoyed, although
farmers and business men were unhappy
over the bare ground and were wishing for
snow to transfer the wheels of trade to run
ners. Wednesday a snow storm afforded
snow enough to give US the nearest approach
to sleighing we have had this winter, and
Thursday the mercury slid down the tube
to the zero mark or below. Friday was even
colder-1O degrees below in this city and 20
below in Brunswick, while it was only be-
low at Augusta and 10 below in many other
places. Early Saturday morning snow
began to fall, accompanied by heavy
southeast gale, but the snow was so damp
it drifted but little. The evening train ar
rived about 80, an hour and half late. At
night the street lights were out, as usual
when they are most needed. In the evening
the snow changed to rain and for ii time it
Iained hard, but cleared off in the night, and
Sunday morning the wind was west, with
the mercury about 20 above zero. The
steamer Stockton came down river from
Bucksport Saturday morning and the Gold
en- Rod and Silver Star came over from
Castine. Capt. Bennett started for Cam
den but got no farther than NorthpOrt, and
returned, finding it too rough to proceed
and the three boats remained here until
Sunday morning, when the Silver Star and
Golden Rod went across the bay and the
Stockton proceeded to Camden. On her re-
turn trip in the afternoon she had but one
passenger. The steamer Bay State arrived
from Boston Saturday morning at high tide
and it was so rough that she did not attempt
to make landing but anchored in the low
er bay and remained there until Sunday
morning. Although ever since the break
water was built the steamers have been I'M
able at times to make the Rockland land
ings, this is the first time there has been
trouble of this kind at Belfast and the steam
ers have often laid here in a storm. The
storm was general along the coast. The
walks were left in a bad condition, and
although they were sanded Saturday and
Sunday many found it safer walking in the
streets.

BOWLING. The Rockland team came to

Belfast team. The Rockland Courier
Gazette says:
In the afternoon Thomas and Spinney
(who is well and favoTably known to many
Roc kland people, bowled fifteen string
game before a large number of ''rooterS.
The game was the most interesting ever
rolled on the Belfast alleys, as both men
were rolling strong and the margin very
small The Rockland man went ahead on
the third string and was never headed
Spinney was game and finished strong III
cutting the lead 2S pins Thomas again
won out by cleaning up after bad breaks
making every pin count The game finish
ed with Thomas 10 pins in the lead.
There was one tie string and each won an
even number of strings-7. The totals were:
Thomas, 1854 Spinney, 1886.
In the evening the Rockl land and Belfast
teams had game that was hotly contested
from start to finish, and in which Thomas OF
Rock land and Patterson of Belfast were the
stars. The Courier Gazette says of this
game:
There was some strong individual bowl
ing and the Rock land total is said to be the
best ever rolled on the Belfast alleys.
After the game the team was taken to
Mosher's restaurant and treated to an oys-
ter stew that went directly to the right spot.

him to a doctor and tried half dozen
other treatments, all with the same
result: no improvement at all. The
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
We had to strap him down in bed, for
he used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep. The agony he went through
is quite beyond words. No one thought
we would rear him. The regimental
doctor, very clever man, pronounced
the case hopeless; at least, he said the
only hope was that he might, if he
lived long enough, outgrow it to some
extent. We had him in hospitals four
times and be was pronounced one OF
the worst cases, if not the worst, ever
admitted. From each he was dis
charged as incurable; in fact he got
worse under the successive treatments.
At one hospital they incased him in
plaster, and this seemed to aggravate
the soreness terribly. He looked so
badly that no one liked to go near nm
and his life was burden to him. we
kept trying remedy after remedy, but
we had got almost past hoping for
cure. Six months ago We purchased
set of Cuticura SOAP, Ointment, and
Resolvent Pills and persevered with
them. The result was truly marvellous
and to-day he is perfectly cured, his skin
not having blemish on it anywhere.

FROM THE SHADOW OF PRISON
WALLS CONE MITES FOR NUNS

Sunday forenoon, during religious
services held under the auspices of the
Roman Catholic church, Father Valen-
tin referred to the grand and unselfish
work done by Sister Marianne and
three other nuns who had labored
among the lepers at Kalaupapa for a
quarter of a century. He told of the
subscriptions toward a fund for these
noble women which would enable them
to live in comfort during their deelin-
ing days, and called attention to the
lesson to be learned from such devotion
to the cause of humanity.
After Father Valentin S talk a prison
er spoke about the Sisters and said that
he would like to add to the fund. In
the end it was made known to the
priest and the prison authorities that
there were many men moved by the
same impulse who desired to give a
mite
Probably no place in the world except
an almshouse presents such a spectacle
of poverty as a prison. The inmates
