Very interesting paragraph that is,
but perhaps inaccurate, which has been
going the rounds Of the papers, stating
that $3.50, 900 was expended for dynamite
and tools in the work on the Bear Pond
road In Waterford.
The price of coffee in Brazil, owing to
the breaking up of combination, has
gone down from Is and IA cents to s and
o cents, and Mr.. Ultimate Consumer be-

But when the price in Brazil gets multi

"Jsck" Johnson's lawyer announces
that the former pugilist will return to
America when the appeal on his case
comes up. But cheer up! Perhaps 1t
won't be so, after all.
The discovery Of an offender in cleri.
cal gsrb, whose crimes run pretty near
ly the whole gamut from cheating to
cold blooded murder, arouses more in
tense interest than would a halfdozen
church conventions, and almost as much
as q game in the worlds series.
Whatever the source of that bomb
sent Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, the Nc
Namaras will have no difficulty in es-
tablishing an slibi.

are going TO call il? "The New Summit
House." That word new doesn't belong
in the name of anything, least of all a
hotel. One OF the Oldest and most
homelike hotels in Maine has the New"
in its official name, because one OF the
proprietors some years since did little
remodeling and put on quite lot OF
paint and paper, but it's the same old
house, and It's patrons never bother with
that superfuous word. Cut out the
"New"!
Being a congressman In these latter
days is quite different from being a
school teacher-there is no opportunity
either to rejoice or to complain at the
long vacation. It's year-round job

that she has morally been guilty of incit-

II is reported that William D. Hay
wood, leading spirit in the l. W. W., is
suffering from a nervous breakdown,
has lost fifty pounds in weight, and has
gone into retirement in the hope of re-
gaining his health. 1t is also under
stood that his unselfish devotion to the
cause of labor has been so profitable
that he can afford to take q long vaca-
tion II he desires.
Dispatches relating the deaths Of svi-
ators, which so recently got scare heads
on the front page, are now reduced to
the grade of "fillers," to be tucked into
any old space.
Clocks endure much longer than any
other machinery, says an exchange.

Maine furnishes the setting for some
very peculiar happenings, according to
the stories told by some of the New York
papers, but what shall we say of one of
the latest happenings in the great me-
tropolis, when the body Of we'll known
citizen, whose disappearance had been
widely advertised and extensive search
for whom was being made, lay in the
morgue ten days without Identification.
That plan of Mrs. Stevens, to send
back W. c. T. u. leaflets in case rum
sellers circulars are received by mem
bors of the organization, might rightly
be styled the "retort courteous"
Also the editor must have nodded
when that paragraph got by about the
discovery In an Oakland artesian well
boring OF gold-bearing quartz, some of
which assayed 1000 ounces to the toni
As quartz which produces $40 90 to the
ton pays well for working, IL is easily
seen that rock producing nearly $4,000
to the ton must literally be gold mine.
There are two peculiar things about
the story that business men of Calais
and st. stephen have been victimized by
taking Confederate notss, one man even
sending one to the bank, where 1t got by
the teller-and the notes are thought
to DO not genuine, either. For one thing,
Ii is peculiar that q currency once worth
ten Gems q bushel sho.lld be worth
counterfeiting, and again, as to business
men accepting them - well, that Is
rather beyond terming peculiar.
Chicago has discovered q Bangor
