SEARSPORT.

Last Sunday afternoon double trag-
edy took place on small farm about a
mile out on the back road to Belfast,
when Thomas R. Howe shot and killed
his wife, Lucy Howe, with a double
barrelled shot gun and then blew out his
own brains with the other barrel. The
tragedy was discovered by neighbor,
Miss Aida Sargent, who called at the
house and found the bodies. Mrs. Howe
was shot through the chest and neck,
the body lying in the sitting room, and IN
the hall adjoining was that of her hus-
band, who had tied a cord to the trigger

wears. then living in Haverhill. They

ton. Neither have any people here

LIKE AN ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tells why a corn rs SO painful and says
cutting makes them grow.

Press an electric button and you form
contact with live wire which rings the
bell. When your shoes press against
your corn it pushes its sharp roots down
upon sensitive nerve and you get a
shock of pain. -.
Instead of trimming your corns, which
merely makes them grow, just step into
any drug store and ask for quarter OF
an ounce of freezone. This will cost
very little but is sufficient to remove
ev cry hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. A few drops applied directly
upon a tender, aching corn stops the
sor eness instantly, and soon the corn
shr ivels vi. SO it lifts right out, root and
all, without pain. This drug freezone is
harmless and never inflames OF evenlrri-
tates the surroundin g skin. -Advt:

April 18th was gala day in Stockton.
People came from far and near to see the
beautiful four-masted schooner, Helen
Swanzy, as she gracefully glided from
the launching ways into the sparkling
waters of our harbor. More than fif-
teen hundred spectators were present.
The vessel decked in her double lines of
vari-colored signal flags, from stem to
stern, above her handsome Wardwell-
modelled hull, presented marine picture
of exquisite beauty long to be remem-
bered. The christening was unique, Capt.
John Day, Supt. for the owners, suggest
ter of Mr.. L. A. Gardner, in honor of his
mother, Mrs Carrie A. Gardner and him
self, as promoters of the enterprise.
Capt. Day held little Eleanor, 4-months
old, in his arms, beneath the American Flag
while her mother slipped the flowers, one
by one, over the bow for the baby hands.
The momentum of the vessel carried her
half way across the harbor, and like
beautiful gray swan she now lies at
anchor. A small crew is employed to
place the remaining fuel-tanks, deck
lights and propellers in position and to
add few other finishing touches, when
she will be taken to New York, her hail
ing port. Capt. Adrian Hooper of Atlantic
City formerly of Rockland, Maine) who
is to command the new vessel was here

We EDITOR SEES THE SUN RISE

1t was tho most imposing and i'm.
pressive sunrise noted here for
months. In the sky were scattered
clouds OF fantastic shapes. when
the first rays OF tho rising sun
struck these there seemed in the
dun glare the semblance Of great
embers. that gradually deepened into
the deep red Of the majestic con.
flagration. The contorted cloud
masses gave the scene n weird and
fantastic appearance, and one could
imagine the darling TO and fro OF
tongues OF flames. Later, as the sun
approached nearer the horizon. the
colors became moro brilliant and
crimson and were communicated 20
the clouds turnout the heavens so
that presently there was a great
warm glow everywhere that seemed
reflected upon all things on earth.
II was gloriously mellow light. In
the west was the great silver moon,
which gave n softer unge to the
western half OF the sky. Then the
lines grew perceptibly less cloying
and more silvery and finally passed
into the leaden tints of full daylight.
