BOY IF FIVE FALLS
 INTO FLOOD WATER
 OF SALT AND DROWNS

Joe Moffat , or 6-year old son of a family living near Twentieth street on the bank proper of the Salt River, was drowned yesterday morning when he fell from the yard of the little Moffat place into the flood of water sweeping by in the stream. His body was recovered yesterday afternoon, and it was stated that an inquest would be held this morning by Cor oner Charles DeSales Wheeler.
 The boy, the first human victim Of the flood was playing in the yard about g o'clock yesterday morning, while his father was milking nearby. The family's house is within short distance, and the bank of the stream is equally close
 According to such reports as were available, the boy must have returned from the house on an errand for his father only few minutes before he fell into the stream. At any rate, the father looked up shortly after last seeing the boy to find the child had disappeared. Calling the boys mother. he started to investigate but could find only broken piece of sod on the edge of the bank over the water, where the boy might have fallen in as the ground gave way.
 The fact that the father heard no outcry IS explained by the fact that the child was a deaf mute. At the time he fell into the river, the father was occupied in milking.
 After searching along the bank of the stream for little way, the parents summoned help, and the neighbors joined in the search. No trace of the boy was discovered, however, until after o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the child's body was found on a sand bank about half mile below the Moffat home by a party+of neighbors made up of s. B. Smith, D. F. Jones, D E. kirkendall and fourth man. Constable Haze Burch arrived on the scene shortly later. and later in the afternoon the body was removed to the city.

There has been a tendency for
many years for the young men, when
they reach the business age, to leave
Maine and 90 to other states 10 earn
their livelihood. This is because of
the lack of development of the re-
sources Of Maine. The State Cham
Der Of Commerce and Agricultural
League, superseding the State board
OF trade, has been organized to assist
in developing the agricultural, manu-
featuring, canning, granite, lumber
ing. fishing. summer resort. water
power, and other resources of the
State.
Through strong organization
only can this be accomplished, Such
an organization will require sac ,000
per year. OF this amount. Hancock
county is asked to furnish lao.
The Hancock County committee can
see no practical way TO secure this
money except to ailot certain por-
ton Of the amount to be raised TO
each Of the larger business enter
prises.
An immediate necessity for work
by the Chamber of Commerce is
found in the grave danger that
freight rates will be increased in
greater proportion in New England
than in sections with which New Eng
land is in competition. This would
seriously affect almost every enter
prise in this State.

How ENGLAND Grows.

A great deal Of interest Is taken
In England In the question of coast
protection. The ocean. assailing the
cliffs. gradually tears them away. but
this very process furnishes a defense
for the land by building up long
beaches Of sand and shingle which ar
rest the waves before they can attack
the cliffs. An effort Is making to pre-
vent, or better regulate, the removal OF
this material for construction and road
building. because In many places its
removal has permitted the sea free
ly to exert its power of erosion.
The ordnance survey has ascertained
that in the last half century England
has lost 6.640 acres by sea erosion
and gained $4,000 acres through re-
claiming land the existence of which
Is mainly due TO material brought
down by the rivers.

HIGH HONOR FOR SMALL GIRL
Face Of Ten-Year-oId Has Appeared
on Millions Of Coins Of the
United States.

The government of the United States
In 1895 made an offer of S1.0oo for the
most acceptable design to be placed
upon the new cent coin soon to be
issued. Some Indian chiefs Travelled
from the northwest to Washington to
visit the Great Father and then
journeyed TO Philadelphia TO see the
mint. whose chief engraver was James
Barton Longacre, who invited them to
his home.
The engraver's daughter, Sarah,
aged 10. greatly enjoyed the visit OF
her fathers guests and during the eve
ming, to please her. one of the chiefs
took of bis feathered helmet and war
bonnet and placed II on her head. In
the company was an artist. who Inn
mediately sketched her and handed the
picture to her father. Mr.. Longacre,
knowing Of the competition for a like
ness to 90 upon the cent projected.
under the inspiration of the hour. re-
solved TO contend for the prize offered
by the government. To his delight the
officials accepted II. and the face Of
hts daughter appeared upon the coin.
which was circulated about the nation
for nearly a century. There were
more than hundred competitions
The cent bearing the face OF Sarah
Longacre has gone into more hands
than any other American coin.

that ,here is q greater interest than

County AGENT Bridges has identi-
fed a disease which this spring made
its appearance on one of the plum
trees of Merrill Stewart at Franklin
Road, as plum bladder or
pocket" So far as Mr.. Bridges can
find from the records. this is the
first appearance of the disease in New
England, the most eastern case pre-
vionsly recorded being in New York
state
II is a fungus disease. which has
destroyed the plum industry in many
sections of Europe. It made its ap-
pearance some years ago in this
country, but prompt measures have
confined il TO small areas in some of
the middle West and western states.
The disease is a most peculiar one.
Following Immediately after the

bladder appears and grows rapidly
until half the size of plum. 1t is
OF tough fibrous nature, creamy white
in color.
The tree on which this appeared
was some four or five years old. and
was bought by Mr.. Stewart from
New York nursery. Last year ii
bore few good plums, with no sign
of the disease. This year, in bios
som. it promised yield estimated at
a barrel. Then the disease appeared
Mr.. Bridges has advised Mr.
Stewart. to cut and burn the tree care
fully. Should any other cases of the
disease appear in this county, and it
is easily identified from this deserip-
ton, they should be reported at once
to County Agent Bridges at Els
worth.

GREAT TRUTH SIMPLY TOLD
Warning Here to Those Who Neglect
TO Set Down Their Priceless
Discoveries.

A noted author In the Satevpost
writes: The commonest sign of ia
tigue is found in feeling of weari-
ness
There are times when we are almost
led into believing that this Is true.
Equivocal and ambiguous as the state
ment may seem, at the first reading.
It becomes clearer when read over
four or Eve times. In fact. we don't
know when the proposition has been
stated with more clarity. after one
masters the language IN which II is
couched.
Have you not often read things and
said TO yourself: "How often | have
thought that very thing. Why did
not put II down in isnperishable
wortisg'
II Is so with this. Doubtless, In
your humble way you have often
thought that your WEAKNESS was
sign Of fatigue. At those times you
thought . living truth. but did Won
write and tell some magazine Of your
priceless discovery No. You al
lowed somebody to come along. per
haps years after. and do It.
The moral is that when you think a
great thought, put II down on paper
at once. Even II you do put II away
somewhere and forget 1t. posterity
may find It.
Now. many times In our career we
have had feelings OF WEAKNESS. Some
Of our friends have been misguided
enough TO attribute It TO lazlness--an
awful word. particularly among
friends. But. when we were weary. 1t
was not laziness that allied US. II
was fatigue.
And we never knew the truth until
we read the magazine article men
toned. We have been slandered for,
years by wrong idea.-Exehange
