Police Rely on Finger Print.

Francis Gallon, finger print expert
and authority, estimates that the
chances OF finding the fingers Of two
persons giving exactly the same i'm
preston are not greater than one in
GAO, 900, 100000. Police experts regard
finger prints, which can not be dis
guised, as far the most conclusive
means of Identification.

PACKERS GETTING WAGES.

The salmon packers who are re- turning to San Francisco from the canneries of Alaska, where they hay been employed during the season, are enjoying the novel experience of receiving the full amount of their seasons earnings. In the spring of the year the American Federation of Labor, upon recommendation of the San Francisco Labor Council, re- vOked the charter of the salmon Packers Union because that organi- Zatiou had fallen into bad hands, the charter evidently not being used for any other purpose than to prevent the Labor Commissioner from protecting the works against robbery. Organized Labor of Calif- Oruia then prevailed upon the Legis- lature to enact law which empow- cred the Labor Commissionre to en- force the payment of full wages in such cases. Under the provisions of this new law the State Labor Com missioner and his deputies are now experimenting the work of paying off the salmon packers and are not permitting any deductions for ques- uonabIe debts.-Ketchikan Mail.

DEAFNESS GlaH0T BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion Of the ear There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that IS by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the Eustachia Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have d rumbling sound of imper feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and II less the inflamtlon can b taken out and this tube restored to it's nor maj condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is noth ing but an fnflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

FALSE ECONOMY.

When you're buying, buy the best, cheap things are the deurest
 for, whether it's a sock or vest you are buying, or car. Better do without the hat you're needing, till you know you can buy the smooth est any man in town can show.BeC- ter do without the sword that you need to shave your chin. tiu you can afford one that isu' t mado1s2f tin. Better go the same old course, living with your wife along, than to buy d cheap divorce, which is sure to turn out wrong. Cheap things always break your heart and deDreciate your frame; therefor
 in the changing mart, seek the best, and buy the same. In the whole long catalogue, seek the best and order that, whether it's a bob- tail dog you are wanting, or cat;
 whether it's a pair oI shoes, or a pound of boneIess prmes, or a paper with the news, OF a pair of pantaIoous; whether it's a book of verse, or a paddock for your chest. or a shotgun or a hearse, it will pay to buy the best. Weariuess and discontent of cheap buying are the fruit; better go as Adam went than to buy a shoddy suit.-Walt Mason.

Not Winthrop Fire
But Curtis Corner.

Augusta heard rumors throughout

raging in the vicinity of Baleyville or

tie blaze was at neither OF those places,
but beyond-presumably in Leeds.
Those who made the electric line jour-
ney ~ Winthrop found themselves able
te get no better view than at Island
Park.
The following dispatch from Curtis
Corner-a part of Leeds-would appear
to place the blaze:
Curtis Corner, Me, Aug. 19.-Several
acres of pine timber and more in a
cut down are being swept by fire.
which started, Tuesday forenoon, aft
CT the passing of one of the Maine Cen
trail trains.
Help was summoned by the railroad
officials, and a small crew of men have
oeen trying to do what they could tt
check the spread of the fire. Tie blaze
has not been near any house, as yet,
and is not at the present time threat
ching any but the residents in this
vicinity are fearful that any change in
the wind may make the situation dam
cerous to their property.
The acreage burned over is the prop
crty of William Alden ard L. II. Mann.
The extent of the blaze at the present
time is threatening.
