T READ an old, but very good story this morning. 1t
went something like this:
"a brawny negro was once employed as a steve
dore on the docks at Memphis to help unload a cargo
from the steamer Anna p. Silver. He was carrying anvils
ashore, and so great was his strength that he carried
one under each arm After several successful trips he
slipped from the gangplank into the water, and came
up putting and blowing. 'Frow down er rope, he yelled.
The men on board jeered. Treading water. vigorously, the
negro cried again, 'Frow down err rope And still they
jeered. At last, exhausted, he cried, excitedly, Fer de
lan's sake. man, frow down er rope err I'll drap one er
desc anvils.'"
A great many people, particularly women. are like

Dear Miss Doom:
Do you hin it is a mistake for a
girl to marry a mar who has only
one hand but who lives comfortably?
COMFORTABLE.
Not at all, if he has a way to sup
port you that does not require the use
of the hand.

IT WAS A H0TOLD MEETING
a BOISTFROJS TIME At MEETING
OF CITY FATHERS OF WILSON
ON NEAR BEER TAN.

wilson, y. G. June 3.-A riot az a
baseball game Is nothing compared
with a meeting Of the Board Of city
Aldermen OF the town of Wilson last
NIGHT, if Madam Rumor is to be cred
tied.
This writer regrets very much that
he was not present. bur the fact OF
the matter is that there has been 50
many meetings of that august body OF
late to regulate the near beer license
which is now, and it Is presumed
VIII remain one thousand dollars
that the meeting of ia evening es-
capped our notice. Had we been pres
ent the clean hits, bunts, balls and
spectacular plays would have been
carefully jotted down. But being alb
sent, viii tell of the times
had at hat meeting, as they are re-
peated on our streets.
Parties who were passing the city
hall when the meeting was in progress
describe il as worse than an old-tme
Republican pow-wow; others say that
wilson's new chief Of police had the
opportunity to make good, that he
should have reported the whole bunch
ss disturbers of the peace-but he
c1dn't.
The thousand dollar license for the
privilege of dispensing near beer
seems to be the cause for the frlc-
ton. The dealers were represented by
a gentleman of the legal fraternity
who asked that the aldermen recon
slider and make the tax only five hun
dred dollars, but it was no go. Then
the wrangle began when Mr. H. e.
Common, Jr.. rendered his resignation
as city attorney, saying tas report
goest that the confidence that should
exist between the board and himself
was not what It should be Where
upon Alderman KiIlette let out a long
drive to right field. retorting: The
reason why / have lost confidence ID
you is because Of your lining up with
the red light and liquor element.
The attorney then tossed up q spit
ball, but the alderman from the
Bloody Fifth" failed to connect, say
ing: You know, sir, you were elected
by anti-dispensary voters and since
that time you have done nothing hut
back cap and vote against their
wishes.
While all this was going on Mayor
Briggs was warming up and when
the attorney had finished "at the bat,
he too got in the game and sWatted
the alderman. reminding him of the
active part ne took in trying TO get
him impeached as mayor Of the town.
There were numbexless other boquets
handed out after which the meeting
broke I'D and the city dads ana
those who were enough TO
witness the stunts repaired to thelr
several homes and dreamed or otheF
events vet to be pulled off.

Conservation
Is the Subject
OF DR.. GranStaff

A gocdly audience despite the storm
gathered at the Baptist church Thurs
day afternoon fully Is minutes before
the hour of service. With Mrs Thomp-
son at the piano Mr.. Pugh conducted a
song service which was enjoyed. Lat
err in the regular service he sang MY
Lord and l." with telling effect.
What effect has the gift of Christ
upon God the Father" was DIR. Gran
staff's first question after the reading
of texts from the new testament by
persons in the audience. None, what
soever," he announced, at least in the
sense in which we used to sing about
God, being reconciled to us. Better ask
what effect the death of Christ has
upon u.s. How much does his gift make
it obligatory for us to give to Christ!
So far as God was concerned his gift
was an expression; it means nothing to
us unless we give ourselves to him.
Tracing the thought of Romans
kill. DIR. Granstaff said in part: We
have had a call to conservation and a
definition, present. your bodies a liv-
ing sacrifice" Conservation is then
lust a sacrifice. Not an ecstacy. not a
revolution. not emotions, not self-peas-
ing but a sacrifice. People work them
selves into a frenzy and call it conse-
Grafton; it is nothing of the sort
DO you ask me what sort of a sacri-
fee? 1t is a willing sacrifice. God
hath right to command; he only en-
treats 1t is definite. 1t is very easy
to he indefinite and to give something
besides what he demands.
lynr off
the definite turning over our definite
selves to the definite Christ for definite
service. Several incidents were intro
duced to illustrate the definition.
The sacrifice is also a bodily sacri-
flee. Some people are willing to have
their souls saved but nothing more.
They will consecrate their souls but
would do what they want to with their
bodies. We can't give God our souls
unless we give him our bodies at the
same time. The sacrifice must be Holy
that is separated but from what--Not
conformed to this world-was one of
the proof texts and other texts showed
the sins that were referred to. The
same sins are in the world today and
conservation means separation from
whatever contaninates. In answer to
question Dr. Granstaff said that from
his own obseYation from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and from definite state
ments made to him he was ready to
believe that we are on the edge of the
great apostasy.
"Consecrate means in addition to
sacrifice service. We are to bring to
God all the good we have. We cannot
consecrate what is evil. Consecrate
yourself to God and He will not only
reveal his will to you but make you
the channel for revealing that will to
others. Give yourself to God and He
Twill give himself to you"
In answer to why the church is not
more efficient, he said it was like a
telephone wire that was grounded. -.

A HEAVY DECLINE
In Many Stocks, United States Steel
Leading the Procession.

New York, Feb. 3.-The onslaught of
ar aggressive bear party and gather
ing distrust of the industrial. business
and political outlook brought about
violent declines ON the New York
Stock Exchange today. with United
States Steel heading the downward
movement. The price today represent
cd a break of points from yesterdays

Chief interest centered in the decline

ton of nearly every stock in the list.
carrying prices down from six to eight
points with sensational breaks be-
tween sales.
Because of the nervousness of the
market brokers cautioned their clients
to remain within call ready to put up
additional margins if necessary, and
many whose accounts were on the
ragged edge" closed out, suffering
loss rather than risk further declines.
The net price changes do not register
the full effect on prices owing to the
effective rally which occurred in the
closing hour, when the bears bought
freely to garner the days handsome
profits on the short side. At the low
point which happened early in the fin
al hour, declines ran all the way to
eight points.
The violence of the movement and
the volume of the market following so
prolonged and extensive a decline as
has occurred, caused the day to be
regarded as probable elimination of
the decline with reversal likely to
follow.

Capt. David Latillippe, Worlds,
Highest Diver, Is at Home.

In Captain David Latillippe. who is
at present in this city, Waterville can
boast of having the worlds highest

states in the Union. Capt. Latillippe was
called to this city on account of the
sickness and death of his mother and
came all the way from California.
where he has been with the Parker
Amusement Co, doing stunts in his
particular line that have made him
renowned on the vaudeville stage. He
will return soon to California, where he
VIII resume his work. =
Capt. L.atillippe is thoroughly Wa
terville boy. being born in this city,
the son of the late Joseph Latiliippe.
He went to the public schools and al
ways was demonstrating his ability to
perform such tricks that none of his
other playmates could attempt. He was
always looked upon by his fellows as
remarkable boy, one that could per-
form tricks that they couldn't. He took
active part in school athletics and in
football and baseball he was hard to
beat. He played for many years on the
once famous North End team and
many football victories We're brought
about by his power. In baseball he was
a catcher and can be remembered go
ing behind the bat wearing an old
fashioned common bird cage for q
mask. He was very popular among his
teammates and soon became a leader.
Gradually his ability drifted to an
other line of what he considered sport,
but what was looked upon by his fell
lows as a rather dangerous sport, that
of diving. He was great lover of the
water and his common place of swim
ming was directly back Of the colleges.
Here the boys would every. year catch.

the log and for hours daily would
amuse his friends and others who
wouli go to that place just to see him
plunge from the tor His work became
perfect ard gradually he heightened
his ladder until he was doing an act
that the other boys would no. dare to
attempt. He had witnessed the feats of
the circus divers as they came to Wa
terville and he made w his mind that
his life would be devoted 20 that line
of work in conjunction with the feats
of tumbling and aCrobatic work.
AT one Time it will be remembered

junction of KelseYsepA&T ico4ic street,
before the presenff uildings were set

Latillippe was a leader, constructed a
large tent for their performances and
in front had the diving ladder. Capt.
Latillippe had a partner at this time.

would make their sensational net dive
just before the big show, as was Gus
, tomary in big circuses. They drew
large numbers of people. who\ came
Just to witness this hazardous act. The
boys then determined to build an addi-
tional length to the ladder and got 1t
UP so high that the authorities stopped
the act, fearing that it would resultrin
injury. On one occasion Capt. Latil-
lippe dove and went completely
through the net but he was kind Of a
boy that you couldn't hurt. Mr.. King
gave up the business about this time.
Capt. Latillippe had a small dog that
would accomplish this feat as we'll as
the master. following the captain up
the ladder and diving at his command.
Capt. Latillippe's career was then
just started. for it was not long before
his stunts We're learned of by different
theatrical troupes and offers came to
him. He accepted and soon was doing
this act of high diving with different
shows. His small dog was not forgot
ten, .ut on the bills it-was Capt Lat
iliippe and his diving dog" He liked
this life and stuck to it, returning to
his home whenever he had the chance
and was near this section of the coun-
try. In the winter time he would go
into vaudeville and always made good.

to New York and will leave that city
