that is to say their full bloom Will
be retarded in all the high-class dress
making establishments in Paris,
which, under ordinary conditions, are
lighted by electricity Most Of the
work in these world-famous ateliers
cannot be well done without it.
These places were suddenly depriv.
ed of every bit of electric light and
were dimly illuminated with oil lamps
and candles instead About the same
time the telephone service was alb
sOlutely paralyzed in the whole cen.
trail shopping district Appointments
with fair patrons to try on gowns
could not be promptly made.
Photographers who make much
money every year by producing early
pictures of the most stunning crea.
tions of the seamstress' art, are
wringing their hands in despair.
However, it is the small shopkeepers
of the flooded sections of the city
who will probably suffer relatively
the greatest losses. Then there
were whole trades which were indi-
rectly stopped by the food.
EFFECT ON MARDI GRAs.
The approaching Mardi Gras festl-
val usually affords temporary oppor-
tunities for money-making to thou
sands in all the trade districts of Pa
ris. They had elected their carni-
val queens just before the Seine
overleaped it's banks. Unusual eff
forts were to be put forth this year
to make the Mardi Gras more bril-
liant than ever but not only have
the manufacture and sale of masks
received a severe blow, but an I'M
told number of poor men and women
who were counting on supplying con-
fetti to the gay throngs of jewellers
are now confronted by the order OF
the Project of the Seine that none OF
this time-honored ammunition may
be used on that day.
Two evil effects of it's use were
feared, first, that dust would arise
from it which, mingling with the dust
of the streets, might disseminate ty,
phoid germs far and wide; and, sec
ond, that the confetti would choke
certain portions of the sewers.
Disappointment at the prohibition
is not likely, however to ruin the
Mardi Gras procession. Paris already
has recovered largely from it's de-
preston, and all classes Of people
have been resuming their habitual
amusements for the last few even
ings.

Many residents have announced their
intention of taking advantage of the
presence in this vicinity of the l01 Ranch
Wild West and will witness the street
parade and exhibitions in Lewiston on
next Tuesday, June 81. The show is
the largest individual travelling expo.
sition Of western life and history In the
world. Miller Bros. & Arlington, the
owners, promise an entertainment sur.
passing in magnitude, accuracy Of treat
ment and instructive interest anything
of its character ever seen under canvas.
The record of the I01 Ranch Wild
West is unprecedented in the history of
the circus. Though but three years old
1t has appeared In every big city In this
country, travelled as far north into Can
ada as the railroad penetrates, and
shown it's wonders to Mexico City, Mex
leo. It's success has been no more spon-
taneous than enduring. Always and
everywhere crowds have focked to its
performance never seeming to tire of It's
stirring, unwonted scenes and move
ment.
The 101 Ranch Wild West tournament,
from its very nature and source, is diff
ferent and distinct from anything ever
before exhibited. Miller Bros. & Airing
ton promise that none of the hackneyed,
tiresome, familiar round of other So
called and miscalled "Wild West" ex-
hibitions enters into its roaring, rollick-
ing and reckless displays. There is not
a man or a woman In 1t who has not
learned the secrets Of the border far out
In the sage brush and the prairie and
who cannot read the grass and the sky
with understanding eyes.
Miller Bros. & Arlington have aspired
to make their preliminary street parade
a pageant that will remain glorious
memory to all who view it. Every per-
son and every animal with the organiza.
ton is required to be in line. The caval-
cade stretches more than a mile in
length.

A glance at our notebook shows that
our weather rearcast last week, ended a
little too lately to be wholly correct.
Thursday was reported as warmer with
alternating sunshine and shade, which
was correct up to the time of mailing
the letter; while an hour later thunder
shower passed over, much heavier else
where than here.
Friday, another rainstorm, but not so
as to prevent Wesley Ring from bringing
his wife and baby over on visit, while
he and his chum went up to Twitchell
Pond fishing and caught fine string OF
bass and pickerel.
Saturday, still raining, but these same
men went to Locke's Mills, taking an
other with them to a caucus.
Sunday, the rain continued, thus rem
dering it long dreary day, as some fig.
ured the time out.
Monday, weather fair and windy, thus
causing a more and favorable aspect OF
things in general The same day fur
nished company to the amount of Mrs.
Frank Brooks and her little girls, also
Ira Swan.
Tuesday was made a washing day, and
the girls said it did seem nice to have
weather that would dry the clothes once
more. And probably the other sex
thought about the same, although per-
hsps not expressed in words.
Wednesday, young craft attended New
Century Pomona Grange at Rumford
Center; a big crowd out and fine time
generally; about twenty went from
Franklin Grange; day fair with slight
shower in the afternoon.
/ Thursday, fair with little breeze; two
crews on the road trying to mend their
ways, one in the Irish neighborhood, the
other here running the road machine.
In the meantime these locals are being
transferred from mind to paper.
Some time since, Finn bought a
piece of timber land not far away, and
now crew of that nationality are cut
ting pulp wood on it. They live in the
lower part of the town and leave their
team here on their way to work. These
men are short in stature, light COM
plexion with blue eyes and brown hair
they have been in this country but a
short time, consequently their English is
very broken and difficult to understand.
We handed one of the men our notebook
and pencil, with request to write his
name, and this is what be wrote, Kalle
Heikkinen.

Fryeburg.

Mrs. Caroline Stodder Davies, who is
to be the first dean of jackson College,
the new annex for female collegians at
Tufts College, is q daughter of the late
Samuel Roland Crocker, who for time
resided and practiced law here. Mr..
Croker was born in Boston on Jan. II,
1887, and was graduated from Bowdoin
College in the class Of 1855. In 1852 he
was admitted to the bar In this county
and settled here at Fryeburg for the
practice of his profession. In September
of that year he enlisted In the Esd Maine
Regiment, OF which he became Quarter
master Sergeant. After bis discharge
| from the army in the summer of 1858, at
the expiration of his regiments term Of
service, he returned to Fryeburg and re.
sumed the practice of law. In Novem.
Der, 1858, he removed to Boston to con-
tinue there the practice Of his profession.
His literary taste, however, soon prevail.
cd over his taste for the law, and In 1885
he became a clerk in the we'll known
publishing house of Ticknor & Fields
From 1865 to 1870 he was the managing
editor of the Commercial Bulletin. BE
founded the Literary World, and or
June l, 1870, issued the first number Of
that periodical. For II years he was
the Boston correspondent of the Sacra
mento Daily Union, and he served the
Springfield Republican and other news
papers in the same capacity. he also
translated Figuier's Tomorrow of Death
Flammarion's Stories of Infinity, Georgt
Sands My Sister JEANNE, and severa
works of a lighter character. In thu
Literary World, however, his ambition
seemed to eliminate, and In it their
opened to him a most inviting and in
spring field of labor. Early in 1877
however, it became evident that hi
mental powers were seriously impaired
The medical men to whom his case wa
referred pronounced it paralysis of tn
brain and held out no hope that his lif
could be prolonged beyond few months
or, possibly, one or two years. He wa
at once removed to the Lunatic Hospita
at South Boston, where he remained til
his death on August 20, 1878. His res
dence at the hospital was far from ur
happy. The unremitting care of tn
hospitals physician and of his other a.
tendants, supplemented as it was wit
the constant offices of his family an
friends, secured his content and even or
Ijoyment in an unusual degree, and hi
end was peace.
