Good Wishes for Belfast.

Mr.. Fred w. Angler, still confined to
the Columbia Hospital at San Jose, Calf,
writes the following letter to The Jour
nal:
l cannot recall anything appearing in
The journal that has given me so much
pleasure as the announcement of Miss
Crosby's generous gift towards the cree
ton of new school building for our
native city.
1t has been my wish for years that the
day might come for Belfast to have an
up-to date, thoroughly equipped High
school building, surrounded by ample
Fairgrounds, where both mind and body
of the coming generations might be prop
erly developed, and Belfast able to pro-
vide the educational advantages equal to
anything to be obtained in the progressive
cities and towns of the West, and | think
that this is the feeling of the many who
have received their education in Belfast
but, through business, or other reasons,
have been called to reside elsewhere They
love the old home town, the happy child
hood days are ever in their minds, and
I, they are still interested in the welfare OF
the old home city, located by the most
beautiful bay upon the Atlantic coast.
There is no question of the wish to
contribute to this fund, although the
calls for help, from all sources, during
the past few years have been frequent
and heavy, yet all who can will do so
cheerfully now.
Iregret exceedingly that the unfortu-
nate accident, which has been the cause
of my confinement to the hospital for the
past year, makes it impossible for me to
do my share in the work now as | would
like to do.
| love old Belfast, it is still home to
me and want it to progress and be the
leading home city of New England.
Mr. Angler also sends an editorial
from the State Signal of Belfast, printed
in 1852, a strong appeal for good school
buildings, which closes with the follow
ing paragraphs:
We cannot better conclude these hasty
remarks, than by copying an extract
from the report of the late Secretary of
the Board Of Education Hon. VIM. G.
Crosby.)
'The voice which has heretofore found
utteranceS only in the language of queru-
lousness, has begun to assume bold and
manly tone:-to speak of what should,
and must be. Men are beginning to be
weary of witnessing the wasted time and
perverted opportunities of childhood. The
demand is for improvement. 1t is the
demand of the age in which we live.
Mans moral and intellectual nature-the
material creation-are moved to answer
it. A mighty agency is abroad. 1t is
giving a new impulse to matter-it is
thrilling the great heart of humanity. it
has reached the School and the School
! master"

KING OF ALL "RAiNMAKERs"
secret OF Success of soIly Greencup,
Who Is Well Remembered N the
West, Was Simple.

HlVen an ingenious mind and an eve
10 business, live man can make mon
ey out of almost any old thing
fefnapS you remember the extraordi
nary success scored some wears ago
by Solly Greencup. the ratnmakpr IF
not you can read his record in a port
1olio of newspaper clippings collected
al the way from Nome to San Diego
from eastern Oregon to western Kan
Sas.
Solly Greencup, indeed, occupipd for
"hiie position unique in the annals
OF meteorology. Scientists might doubt
ana cynfcs might scott. but whenever
SONY went after the rain clouds he al
ways got EN-. Moreover ne didn't
work on "the heads-I-win, tails-you-
lose' principle of some other rainmak-
ers. Solly Greencup, when he once de-
clded he could produce rain in given
district, always backed his opinion
with hard cash. If he asked the farm
ers to put up $1,000 for an inch of
rain. he out up another 81. 900 himself
as forfeit in case he failed. And he
always won.
Hreencup never explained his meth
DDS AL the farmers wanted was the
rain. All Greencup wanted was the
money, With the result both We're
satisfied. His apparatus consisted of
a flag pole, an electric battery a kite
with metal tail and an air balloon
hlled with mysterious gas. If scien-
lists demanded the reason for these
contrivances. he shook his head and
smiled.
Sometimes Greencup would have to
stay a long time in a locality before
he could find the exact combination
necessary to coax the wet forces into
action. Sometimes he had to confess
that the drys were too strong for him.
But as soon as he posted his forfeit
and set up his apparatus the desired
moisture followed in a few days.
Once in Elsinore valley he gave the
ground good soaking for q paItry
5000. thus saving q 81 100000 grain
crop. OF course he made a tidy for
tune, Vet at the time no one considered
his charges eXorhitant. And everybody
admitted he was a good sport. AS he
grew wealthy Grpencup never gave
himself frills nor assumed the title of
professor" These things were after

manently out Of the rainmaking bust

his left foot, which had to be ampu-

love or money he refused to expert

realize that even small piece of depend
