ceived salaries from 5000 to $500 per
year, and few OF the better pulpit

Physicians received less than one
fourth what they do now for their
professional services.
With the lower prices for labor,
however, the fact must be taken into
consideration that the cost of living
was much cheaper in those days than
at the present time. People of that
day better realized the value of mon
ey, and the average man of the SOS
saved more money, in proportion to
what he earned. than the man Of to-
day.
An illustration of how a man could
save if he were a mind to is told by

He says he lived pretty we'll in those
days too.

Steamer HeStia Strikes ShoaI
Off Seal Cove and Goes
Down.
GALE AND PILOTS
MISTAKE CAUSE WRECK
Ship Crashed Into Shoal at Midnight
Navigating Officers Mistake Dis
tinguishing Marks-Three Lifeboats
Lowered But One Lost in Sea-
Only Six Out Of 40 Known to Be
Saved-Life Savers Late on Scene.

Eastport, Maine, Oct. 27.-Twenty
lives and perhaps more were lost yes
terday in the destruction on a shoal
off Seal Cove of the steamer Hestia
bound from Glasgow for St John
and Baltimore. Four of the victims,
young Scotch boys, were passengers,
and the others were members of the
crew Captain Newman and 20 or
more of the crew were last seen In a
ships boat which was being tossed
on the stormy sea.
OF the 40 persons who We're aboard
the steamer when she piled on the
shoal, only six are positively known
to have been saved They were fore
ed to cling to the wreck, shifting their
precarious positions as the steamer
was tossed by the seas. 1t was not
until p. m. that life savers were able
to man their boats and reach the
stranded vessel.
Those known to be saved are:
Third Mate Stewart, second engi-
neer Morgan and Meamen Keene, Nc
Kenzie, Smith and McVickar.
Gale Responsible for Wreck.
A northeasterly gale is believed to
have been responsible for the Hestia's
fate although it is supposed that a
mistake of the man at the wheel in
believing he had picked up Camel
Rock light while really discerning the
CLEANS of a lighthouse on Machias
Seal Island, several miles southwest,
carried the ship many miles off her
course.
The sailors of the middle watch
had been out of their hunks an hour
and all others except the navigating
officer were slowed in hunks or ham
mocks when the crash came an hour
after midnight.
In the belief that he was leaving
Grand Manan on the port tack and
following the usual course to st. John,
the navigating officer sought the dis
marks of that route. But
hey were not to be seen. Instead the
steamer was heading for Seal Cove
between Camel Rock and Machias
seal Island. over seas which barely |
overed a treacherous bottom of |
hoals, 1t was on one of these that |
he vessel became impaled. Three
ifeboats We're swuBg from the deck.

MYSTERY Of D. R. & \. CREW
IS MYSTERY NO LONGER

The only mystery remaining in con-
nection with the appearance of the
party of o. r. & n. surveyors west
OF town is as to why there should
have been any mystery in the first
place and why the headquarters
were located in the woods four miles
west Of Pendleton when the men
could have been worked out If this
city just as advantageously and with
a great deal more comfort to them
selves. An investigation last evening
disclosed the fact that they are here
to make surveys for the Strengthening
of curves between this city and Echo.
The first work was done yesterday
afternoon and instead of beginning
near their camp the surveyors came
up to within half a mile of the city
limits and started working westward.
When questioned regarding the mat
ter, S. c. Martin, the engineer in
charge of the party, said it was his
purpose to continue working west
from this city.
From the grade stakes set yester-
day, 1t is evident that the double
curve Just west of the new steel
bridge is to be approached from the
west by one wide curve instead of
two. The grade will also be slightly
lessened thereby. To make the
changes evidently contemplated It
will be necessary to swing the rail-
road out across the country road. ne

FEARED BOATS ARE
LOST AT SEA

East Port, Maine, Oct. 27.-Mariners
here are convinced that 81 sailors and
passengers in life boats which put off
from the wrecked steamer Hestia yes
terday have not been sighted since. It
is believed the boat has been swamped
in the high seas. This being so the
total dead will be 35, the estimate be-
ing based on the six men who were
taken from the rigging after being
left. They say the lifeboat was crowd
ed with men and so heavily loaded
that it is impossible to weather the
storm.
Latest advices say Captain New.
mans small boat which put off from
the wrecked steamer Hestia yesterday
was seen drifting toward Gannett
rock. A second boat capsized along
side, righted again and was drifting
with one man aboard. There |
is little chance that either boat is |

aboard the Hestia is believed to have !
