THREE SURVIVORS ONLY
OF the so Men who Sailed From Belfast for
California in the Bark William o. Alden
in lS49

OF the so Men who Sailed From Belfast for
California in the Bark William o. Alden
in 1S49.
Henry ]. Woods, father of Director
Charles D. Woods of the Maine Ag1icul-
tural Experiment Station at Orono, who
had lived some time in that town but is
now residing in Newton, Mass, is one of
the three survivors of the party Of so
men and boys who left Belfast December
/ 8, 1849, in the bark William O. Alden,
for voyage around the Horn to the
newly discovered gold fields Of California.
The reunions that marked each anniver-
sary of the sailing day had to be finally
given up. The other survivors are Will
liam W. West Of % Trenton street, East
Boston: and Lorenzo G. Coombs of Globe,
Arizona. Mr.. West is one Of the oldest
members of the New England branch of
the Society of California Pioneers, being
SO years of age. Mr.. Woods was for
many years merchant in Belfast, but is
now retired, while Mr.. Coombs has been
for long time an assayer in Arizona.
when the news of the discovery of
gold in California was received in the
east a company was formed who bought
a bark then on the stocks in Belfast,
named her in honor of one of their num-
Der, who was to command her, and fitted
her out for trip to the land of promise, :"
said Mr. Woods recently to a Boston
newspaper man. Forty men contribut-
ed $500 each, making a total of 10000,
which was used in buying and fitting the
vessel and buying cargo of lumber and
building material to be sold when We
reached the Pacific coast.
1.-The bark Suliote, Captain Simpson,
which made the voyage few weeks in
advance Of the Alden, carried a similar
cargo, and her lumber, which was bought
in Maine for $40 per thousand feet, sold
like hot cakes for $500 per thousand.
But the gold fever had such run that
when the Alden arrived her cargo could
hardly be given away. Everybody was
so crazed by thirst for gold that nobody
would stop to build houses or even sa-
looms, and mechanics refused a daily
wage of two ounces of gold, equal to $32
for work in ship yards, and all rushed to
the diggings.
Not being able to sell the cargo in
San Francisco, we kept on up the river
to Sacramento, towing the vessel by a
row boat manned by the crew. Although
toughened by the hard work Of the sea
voyage, | blistered my hands badly in
rowing.
''The lumber market at Sacramento
was but little better than on the coast,
and so we left our interests with Capt.
Alden and went to the mines. The cap
tain finally sold both vessel and cargo
and returned to Maine

little else but ice, snow and bitter cold

months, all feminines who are not already

less effect is also assured, and the EN-
pire style without the strap, continues a
favorite. The Merry Widow" hat is
nowhere compared with the toque of
sealskin, white fox, black lynx, mink or
ermine. These usually show an ornament
VI ooiiiS hHiNt az oliO ol.S, HoWerS, or an
ostrich plume, or satin ribbon bow.
Muffs are larger than ever, and NAV truly
be called pillow muffs.
HAIR DRESSING.
Many fashionists now dress the back
hair quite low, and wear immense baret-
ties, which appear to support the hair.
Ornaments are varied, holly is seen in
sprays or half circles, and satin ribbon
wound on substantial foundation in
wreath shape, or half-circle, is dotted
with small flowers or has satin ribbon
bow at each end. Aigrettes, ostrich tips,
butterflies, and large or small roses are
in favor
EVENING SLIPPERS.
The newest are in plain satin with a
rosette which is easily made by taking a
strip of bias satin about an inch and a
half wide and rolling it together; then
pat plated chiffon around it, and the
acme of style is attained Beading and
manipulating are among the most ex
pensive grade of slippers, and silver and
gold cloth also glitter from beneath vel
low or white costumes.

1 Uncle Sam no doubt loves the printer and therefore pursues him. The United States prints and furnishes envelopes for less than the printer is obliged co pay for the stock and sends the envelopes through the mails free of charge, while the printer has to pay postage when he wants to send envelopes or anythang else through the mails. Uncle Sam sends advertising matter through the mails free of charge, calling attention to what a good thing he has to offer in envelopes,
 while the printer would be sent to the pen" if he attempted to use a government envelope for the same purpose. Uncle Sam can conduct land lotteries and advertise them, but if the printer advertises any kind of game of chance or even publishes the. result of a progressive card party at which prizes are awarded the printercommits an awful offense. Uncle Sam even tells the printer he doesn't know enough to run the subscritionend of his business and that the government em- ployees at Washington with little foreign prefixes dangling to their names must act as credit men" and tell us we cannot trust a per fectly reliable patron for more than the time allowed by them. Uncle Sam, you.r re a dear old man, and we shall try to continue to obey you but we may not continue to lOy e and honor you twenty-four hours each day unless you love the printer sufficiently to be fair with him or buy his business, pay him what his plant is wroth and then run the printing
 business for the whole Uniteo States. Do this or we shall be i in favor of at least pulling your whiskers from time to time.
