Blaine was a can utdate, Sherman was a candidate, and tht rw what is all this noise about. I would inquire. There has been a good deal of i*r. and by i mighty few, compared with the whole mi m ber. We were at Greenville and Ivlraeo, last week, and met the guides. Two members of the Governor's (’ouncil. the State treasurer, the attorney general, the in surance commissioner, Hon. A. I. Brown if Belfast, and other distinguished citi zens were present and listened to the dis cussion, and some of these gentlemen participated in it. It had been extensively advertised that the guides there had signed a paper pledging themselves not to register and “hang the first one to the nearest tree” who did. There never was a word of truth ia it. All tile guides there complain of is having open time on moose begin Oct. 1"», instead of Oct. 1. as heretofore, and the imprisonment clause in the moose la w. One guide, however, boldly declared that hi- would not give truthful informa tion as to how many days he had been employed, etc., and that hi* spoke for the guides. His statement was indignantly repudiated by everyone. More than 20 'applications were taken, the night before, at Ashland, and 23 ap plications were taken at this meeting, and many said they were pleased with tin* law. We were informed, however, that letters had been received from Hangeley advising resistance to the law. which we were sorry to hear. “The goose that lays the golden egg” must not be killed. We are devoting practi cally our whole -time to the work, and .isk all good citizens to aid us in protect ing the fish and game of our State. More and more people are coming among us every year and will continue to come so long as wo can furnish them in otir lakes and rivers and forests the fish and game to take lawfully. If this law lias but one effect, viz: to protect tin* poacher from coming—the man who uses a Winchester in July. August and Sep tember for a fly rod—It will accomplish great good. If it proves the dismal fail ure prophesied by a few. it will not take long to repeal it when the legislature shall again met L To err is human—the commissioners are as likely to err as anybody, but they are n dead earnest in this matter, and. as we have said many times, ask the ad vice. suggestions and co-operation of ev eryone interested in the great fish and game interests of the State.

We Are Doing More Business Than We Real ize on Account of Low Values.

New York. May 28.—R. G. Dun Co., in their weekly review of trade will I ay: People are actually doing more business than they realize. They m c kon by values, but these are much lower than in any previous year of prosperity and leave the margin for proilts. In quantity there is almost as much business being done as in the i years of greatest prosperity and though l hincrease in population would call j for a material expansion, the compari en is not discouraging. The recovery is slow, hesitating and gradual but I on re has been done on the whole in May than in April, while returns in Apt il showed the volume of business ii!y 10 per vent, smaller than that of he best year heretofore. Yet hesita i it is doing its work every week and multitudes are waiting because of pos I clitics at Washington which ought to !:t swelling the demand for labor and the preducts of labor. Kvents have proved that the crop of wheat going eut is much larger than ny f the markets expected and West rn receipts for the week were IIU per cent, larger than last year, while At 1 uitic experts have been lor four weeks, 6,315,329 bushels f Hour included, linst 4.988,777 last year. At this s asonactual receipts count rather than predictions. an-1 the truth is that the country has exported an extraordinary quantity of wheat and Hour and yet has \. on a special. Thursday night, for Owingsviilc. j The company was ordered out by request i of Sheriff Lam* of Bath county, who. it j is reported, has information that a strong j mot) of toll gate raiders would'try to take Johnston, their captured chief, from the I 'wingsville jail. Failing in this, it is re- j parted that the raiders will attempt to take Johnston from the hands of the court during his trial. .Sev«n hundred convicts comprising the jute mill force at San Quentin prison, I California. rebelled. Thursday, at the prison fare and refused to resume work i unless an improv* ment in the menu was promised. The warden and Prison Di rector Wilkins investigated the food question and pronotinoi.il the complaint to without cause. The prisoners still re fusing to work, all of the r. helliious 700 were ordered placed in solitary ••online inent on br» ad and water until they agreed to conform to prison rules. The 1ndepondent T« 1 phone Exchange of the United States did not form a na tional organization at Chicago, jus was expected. Instead f reporting the plan of such an organization the executive committee suggested that a national ‘invention l»o called within the next 30 days by the executive committee in rder to give all of the 2000 independ ent exchanges f the country an op portunity to bo represented. The members of the executive committee, after a long discussion, decided that if ‘•be independent exchanges were to combine against the 1 Sell Co. it would be better to do so through an organiza tion embracing a whist* latitude than that which might be farmed of the 100 or more persons present at the present i meeting. I A good sized crowd of college men was present at the grounds of the Bos ton Shooting Association at Welling ton. Mass., Friday, to witness the in tercollegiate shoot for the trophy of fered by the publishers of Shooting an i Fishing. Besides Harvard.. Princeton and Yale, the usual competitors, theie were teams from Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania. Each team consisted of live men, each man shooting at 30 birds. The result of Fri day’s work now ties Yale and Prince ton for the cup, each college having won for two years, the championship. The score of the diffierent colleges is as follows, the totals showing the num ber of birds hit out of a possible 150: Yale, 116; Harvard, 113; Princeton, 110; Columbia. 106; Univesity of Pennsyl- J vania, 104.

His sale of that 50 cent tea at 25 cents per pound, must be enormous. Won’t that Augusta hall team get a warm welcome when it appears an the diamond, Monday morning? Well, slightly! Don't forget—two games, Monday, and Augusta will win them both. Certainly! Mrs. H. F. Tibbetts’ new store Is not ns bright and attractive as it will be when the sun once more shines and makes everything more cheerful and beautiful. Nevertheless it appears very pretty and exhibits rare taste and skill in all its arrangements. The dis play of fashionable bonnets and hats is even more extensive than in the other store, disposing of the lines of infants wear, ladies’ underwear and fancy goods gives more room and time for de voting to and making millinery the business, although an elegant line of corsets and gloves will l.a* carried in ■dock as heretofore. Two dogs stood on the railroad track, whence all but them had lied. A train approached, drew nearer and nearer, and still the dogs did not move. The irain was Jewett’s and it came from up river, and the dogs evidently saw it not. They only heard the shouts of some of the men about the station, and together they turned their gaze in that direction, heedless as the se onds flew by. Neither one of the dogs would have made half a sausage, and the danger seemed the greater when it was questioned if they could so very easily step over the tracks between which they stood. The more the crowd yelled, the harder they looked, first at the crowd, and then at each other. A short blast from the whistle sounded and had it come less soon the air would have been full of dogs for a short while. -iffleer Merrill went to Augusta Fri y morning, with It. K.

Tibbutts wants to dispose of the stock remaining in her old store and thus avoid paying rent. She is also aware that she must make great sacrifices in order to close out quickly. When you find some one who must sell goods quickly, that is the time to buy, even if you do not need them at the time they are offered for sale. See her ad or what is better, go and see ’the goods. “Old Prob” has lately proven to bo so unreliable that Fowler Hamlen have dc-cided to make a special that will fool the old gentleman let him blow fair, or blow rain, they will be ready for it.

They have a large stock and “they are actually to be sold regardless of cost." This is a good deal for this firm l to assert. BETTER STILL. The Shoe Factory Prospects Are Growing Brighter Every Day. A Journal reporter interviewed Pres ident lliehborn of the Augusta Ib ard I of Trade, Friday, relative to the pres ent status of the shoe factory matter, j “Speaking conservatively,” he said, “I believe the prospects are exceeding ly good. We have had with us, for the last two days, representatives f one of the oldest and most favorably kno-wn concerns in New England, men of char acter, capital and capacity; men who are not out for what they can make, but, engaged in an honest search for a location where they can lie permitted to do business, unhampered by the an noyance that bc-set manufacturers in other states, particularly in Massachu st tts. "It must l»e remembered that Augusta is not the only place that is bestirring itself in this line. This company has Ik en solicited to build a factory by marly 40 towns and cities in New Eng land, 17 of which arc in Main.*. Our charms appear to have been most se ductive, for this is the first place they have consented to visit. Others, how ever, are pressing them hard, and there is some uncertainty as to the outcome*. For obvious reasons it does not seem vise to make public just what has b ii done, up to this moment. Suffice it to say that the officers cf the company are exceedingly pleased with all they have seen and heard, in and about the city, and the citizens, who have the matter deeply at heart, have reason to feel very hopeful as to their action. It will be decided in the very near future. Then, if the decision be favorable, it will be for the people of Augusta to decide whether or not to gather in this prize. •1 have, myself, r.o misgivings as to what our people will do. Their re markable energy and splendid public spirit never fail to rise to every einei gency. If this shall prove to be our op portunity, I have no doubt it will be embraced as cordially as have the many others for which Augusta has be come famous.” A Card.
