The Kndeavorers will now endeavor to get home on the money they have left. In Pennsylvania the veto ax is swinging in a way that delights good people. Peary sails tomorrow. Here's to the intrepid Maine boy. Godspeed and a safe return. An English rubber trust is thriving in Mexico, all because of the Dingle) bill, of course. A cool wave in Washington would be Die most formidable snag the tariff bill iias yet struck. May the fresli air funds grow like the grass that the poor gutter snipes are longing to frolic in. It’s not suprising the Turk thinks this a favorable opportunity for kill ing off a few Armenians. Something tangible, a warship or two, is the demonstration which Tangier doubtless will best understand. Japan won't arbitrate her dispute with Hawaii and the United States Senate can’t find fault with the refusal. One would suppose the Boston law yers could employ this midsummer weather better than in getting hot over long shorthand, bills. It is worthy of note that Japan doesn't protest against English annex ation of the Solomon islands, which arc nearer the Orient than is Hawaii. An anti-foreign crusade is feared in China. The officials are preparing for an outbreak. At the bottom of it will probably lie found traces of Celestial politics as well as fanaticism. One Canadian authority estimates the value of the placer deposits of gold on the North Saskatchewan river at $5OO,(HMI,iiO0. Evidently the gold famine predicted by the silver mine owners is yet a long way off. it is said the Turks are adopting a slower and more cautious but none the less certain method of extermination of Armenians. Why they should he any more cautious is not clear, for Europe lias already givenassuranceit won't in terfere. The sad case of a Ithode Island mother and daughter who squandered a fortune and became insane in the at tempt to gain standing with royal so ciety abroad, is only a ease of madness run mad. It has parallels in contem porary history. Cither southern chivalry is on the rampage along a new line, or else the supply of males in that section is get ting scarce. The governors of Tennes see an«l Ceorgia have just issued colo nels’ commissions to two young ladies in tlleir respec tive states. The gold product of 1S97 will break all pre vious records. Th Waterville Plains. What a snap this would have made it for some of the later day col legians. Now, in the fall let a picked team of Maine’s best marksmen, after they have practiced enough to do them selves justice, take a trip to Massachu setts and give the rillemen of that state a correct idea of our powers in this line. Maine sharpshooters are second to none. Hook out for the man who is around pretending to secure orders for some well known photographer in a neigh boring city. He will want a little money in advance. This imposter has been doing several towns, and may strike your town next. The Winthrop Budget doesn’t like it because the papers are spreading the report that the Quaker church of that town is up-to-date, and exclaims, "It is about time for somebody to make the discovery that there are trout in the Winthrop lakes, and bull-frogs in the swamps.” Usually a temperance crusade in Calais would not make much conster nation among the thirsty, but the pres ent one is coupled with a similar cru sade on the St. Stephen side and a se vere drouth is the result. Waterville Mail: A good many l>i cycle riders make it a point, if tlioy happen to he walking a big hill, to stoop and throw out of the road Un loose stones that may lie in their path. The wheelmen know better than any body else does what a nuisance these stones are, and yet it is one of the eas iest duties of the men who have charge of the roads to remove them. Two men with hoes or rakes could clear the stretch of road included within the bounds of a surveyor's district of aver age length, in a day, and their work re peated a few times during the summer would help the wheeling more than most people imagine. If complaint is made to the ordinary road surveyor in regard to the bad condition of the roads in his district he will reply that he hasn't the means at his disposal to make the roads what they ought to be and yet a hoe isn't :t complicated or it costly piece of equipment but it will do a lot of good on it stony road. The Bangor Commercial in the course of a recent editorial whose laudable purpose was to prove that when Un rest of the nation is sweltering from heat Maine is the coolest and most de lightful place to he found, protests, perhaps justly, that the press dis patches of last week concerning the extreme high temperature in Maine w ere grossly exaggerated, and then de clares thaf'with all this heat, we have heard of no eases of death front sun stroke, as have been common through out the West.and but onecase of a per son overcome liy.lu.-at—that of an old gentleman over 90 years of age." Now we agree with the Commercial that Maine is the best place on earth, sum mer or winter, and that the hot wave was just what the crops needed, hut any approach to candor and accuracy demands us to remind our contempo rary that deaths from sunstroke were reported from South Berwick, Mast Javermore and Skowhegan.and fully a score of cases of prostration from Un heat in various parts of the State. Not withstanding these cases, however, Maine was more fortunate than other states, and tin- cool breezes of iter coast still whisper of paradise to suf fering denizens of the cities beyond our borders. Maine so seldom is af flicted with extreme heat that when a hot wave does come it catches us un prepared. Oldtown is agitated over the drink question. Not intoxicating drinks, for the town is well known as a temper ance community, but i«*c water is the source of tin- trouble. The public drinking fountain at the park has been for a year supplied with ice free by a local ice company and now tin* com pany lias ceased, claiming the public should pay a little for its ice water. Hut the citizens are used to free ice water and want the company to con tinue its philanthropic work. The sit nation is complicated by rumors that the soda water dealers have offered the ice company a good sum to discon tinue keeping the fountain iced. A Hewiston man tells a story of Mr. HI.lino’s first campaign speech in that city, lie said, "The Democratic or gans have* been amusing themselves in figuring cuit how long it will take the party to conquer, if they gain in the i coming year as fast as the y have* in the past. !t reminds mi* of the teacher who ’gave cuit a sum in arithmetic: ‘Hoys,’ said he, ‘how long will it take a frog to jump out of a well if he jumps up one foot every day and falls hack two feet?’ The hoys took their slates and began to figure. They figured all the after noon and the next day. Finally the teacher asked who had an answer. No one replied.

One firm In that city has just received three carloads of seif sealing fruit jars. A leading Augusta lawyer has been at Kineo recuperating. He arrived on Saturday and at once climbed the, mountain to take in the charming view. When he came down a lady from his city said: "What! climbed the mountain? I thought you said you laid come up here for rest!" "So 1 have,” he replied, "and 1 rested more than twenty times going up.” One Hath Knight brought home a collection of twenty different badges from Portland.—Hath Times. And yet, if a college boy goes to Hath and tries to take home a thermometer or a sign he is promptly arrested. The Portland doctors are In disfavor. They alone of all citizens refused to Join in financially supporting the re cent celebration, and the local partiots are asking them if medical ethics pro hibit a man from being public spirited, and other embarrassing questions. There is a law in the profession against advertising.and perhaps the physicians thought il wrong to advertise that the Fourth is a great and glorious day and that Portland is a good place to spend it in. The citizens declare they will get even with tin1 doctors by refusing to lie sick. City government ball games are now to the front. The Iloston and Portland city fathers will play two games, one in each city. A number of members of Huston's city council are now stopping at Old Orchard, and lhc> are said to be ready to cross bats with Maine teams, newiston is talking about meet ing them. The mosquito has many enemies but occasionally il has a friend who says a good word for it. One paper thinks that a mosquito would make a good adver tiser because it is not satisfied with one insertion. Another suggests that it would make a better collector, be cause it presents its bill before doing the job. Now let others tell what the mosquito is good for. Orr's island, famed in snnc and story and loved by the summer tourist, is gaining a new distinction. The I'nited States fish commission steamer Fish Hawk with a crew of scientists is there studying the spawning and embryolo gy of the mackerel. The llsh commis sion has undertaken the problem of keeping up tin' decreasing supply of mackerel and lobster, and in a few years, through the good work of the Fisli Hawk it is hoped the Maine coast will be aide to maintain its reputation for mackerel and lobsters. *n an average 200,000 lobsters are hatched and liberated every day. 1 Irr's island is one of tin' best places on the At lantic coast for this work and will un doubtedly become it station of this commission subordinaVc only to Woods Hole. *•0’’ Hounds is the name of a Portland alderman, who seems good for any number of rounds in an aldermanic "scrap.” His latest is to set afoot an investigation of the doings of the public works commission though he expressly declares he lias no eliarg to aiake. That Hiddeford yarn about the man that mistook a large St. liemard dog for her three-weeks-old colt and fol lowed tlic animal into a house, is enough to make a horse laugh. Newport is ready for dog da> s. F.vrry canine is licensed. Hath is happy. It has not had a funeral for three weeks and not a per son w;es obliged to appear before the police court on account of the celebra tion. and it finds more reasons for d daring that it’s the most favored spot on earth. Now, if it only gets that new torpedo boait, too. It is ra.lher discouraging for the Maine summer hotel proprietor whose First guest of file season to settle for ills board hill, worked off a worthless c heck. Hut the landlord will make up that loss, later. More tourists than ever are coming into the State this year on bicycles. If the good roads movement were a real it in Maine what a bonanza the State would enjoy. New Sharon is listening for the whistle of the locomotive. The Phila delphian president of the Franklin. Somepsrt tv- Kc nnebee lias arrived in Farmington and declares the road is a go. A IJiddc ford clergyman casts the wise men of the county in the shade by de claring that the recent hard times hav not been due to natural or political causes, but to the tremendous ex penditures for liquor. This, of course, explains why Maine has escaped its share of the hard times. Once in a while—not very often—a drummer Rets left. This was the fate of the ISaiiRor drummer who tried to do the heroic act and save a lady from loapInR from a rapidly moving train. After he had thrown his arms around her and dragged her hack into the ear, she recovered from her surprise enough to call him till the names in the femi nine vocabulary and explain that she went out on the platform to wave her handkerchief at some friends. The passengers appreciated it all hut the drummer Midn't seem to enjoy the sit uation. At a recent meeting in Kingfteld to decide what action the town would, take in regard to water works, lit ssrs.

(Springfield Republican.) Admirable indeed was the courage and fervor with which l’rof. Albion \V. Small of tiie sociological department of the University of Chicago spoke in behalf of corporal punishment tit the meeting of the national association of teachers in Milwaukee', Wednesday. The corporal punishers are new in a minority in educational circles, and, therefore, if by dropping the oid meth ods of discipline tin public schools are losing anything worth retaining, it is well for such a man as I’rof. Small to speak out. That it" feels strongly on this question appears from Ihis ex tract from his address: "There is a mistaken policy in the operation of some of our schools, how ever, which is doing what it can, and it is much, to make not patriots, hut an archists. It is tin- policy of practically leaving to pupils themselves to lix the standard of their own conduct. That is right which they consent to treat as right, and nothing is positively binding upon them unless tie v agree. We un covering it up witlt line phrases, but tin- fact is that a great many schools have surrendered to the unwise par ents. who have previously capitulated to their unruly children. The abolition of corporal punishment in schools is only an incident in this surrender. The policy of which abolition of corporal punishment is an accident is virtual treason against sovereign moral law." To stop short of downright compul sion in dealing with children before they have developed tin* luil.it of ef fective morality is simple anarchism, says the professor, who then adds this vigorous sentence: "The idea that tin* child's skin is too sacred to smart for social offenses, or that correction and compulsion do him deeper wrong than his unbridled law lessness intliet both on himself and so ciety. is an unsocial creed than which I know non- more insidiously immoral.” The question of corporal punishment isn't settled yet. and it won't be right, away so long as men like I’rof. Small will talk so uncompromisingly in its favor. It's just as well to keep the question open, for the youth of the 20th century may need some stringent doses now and then. There are plenty of signs around that our boys and girls may be getting too much 'moral sua sion' for their In alth.” One ol the Familiar Sort. (Mail and Express.) President McKinley's determination to revoke Mr. Cleveland's order redlin ing the number of pension agencies from Is to !t is altogether in the pub lie interest. The proposed consolida tion of agencies would have served no useful purpose; it would have caused untold inconvenience to pensioners; it would have put the government to an immediate expense of more than #P">, OOe. and would have resulted in no ulti mate reduction in the yearly ^-ost of the pension service. Most of the things that Mr. Cleveland did with regard to the pension system might lietur have been left undone, and this was con spicuously one of that sort. STATE NEWS. Aroostook. MARS 111LL. T. A.

TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP. There in probably not a stable In Pis cataquis with the same number of horses that has a better blooded or bet ter look ini; stud than that of Fred Davis in Foxcroft. He has half a doz en Rood ones. Having been very successful with its races on July 3, the managers of the Old town track having made consider able money, would like to enter a local circuit embracing Bangor, Oldtown and Orono, for the purpose- of having a series of races this season. The matter is now under advisement by those most Interested. Announcements have been made for a two days’ race meet over Exeter course, on August 13 and 14. On the first day the classes will be: Ladies' race, three minutes, 2.33 and 2.19;on the second day: 2.29, 2.19, 2.23 and free for all. The races take place under direc tion of a committee consisting of F. W. Hill, ,1. T. Brown and H. O. Parshley; with .1. W. Butters, secretary. Entries close August 6. C. H. Katun of Foxcroft, formerly of Calais, has soM tin- fast man- Curfew (Whose sil'e hail a service fee of $500.) to parties in Calais. He has also pur chased of the Halls, of the Adams house, Boston, the tine mare Alice I!.. ‘.’.30. This mare is a dark chestnut, stands 15.3, weighs ‘.150 pounds, and will he entered in the races the present sea son in the classes where she is entitled to start. Geo. M. Poole, the well known horse man of Dover, has been having his stable rebuilt so that it will be one of the finest in the county. There are four stalls finished .in hard pine with iron feed racks, etc. The floors are laid in cement and iron so they will be kept dry thus prevention further rot ting. The stalls are shut off from the carriage room so that can be kept neat and clean. It is a stable worth having "No change can be suggested as to the types of horses most in demand," says The Breeder’s Gazette. The heaviest draft horse, the highest-stop ping heavy-harness or coach horse, the saddle horse, and the handsome, speedy roadster are most easily salable. Hav ing these types in view it is to lie hoped that farmers will exercise due discre tion in the selection of the mares to he bred and the stallions to w hich they are stinted. The (lay of hap hazard breed ing is gone, let us hope. With an ob ject in view and with material at hand that affords reasonable expectation of the results aimed at, farmers certainly are justified in returning to horse breeding. If the mares are of that or der commonly called "skates” and have in the past, bred true to their own char acter, they would a deal better l>e left unserved. The stallion cannot do it all." New England horse breeders will find an encouraging sign of better times coming in the sale of five of Mr. Forbes* New England broil yearling colts in a string of twelve in New York last woek at prices ranging from $1-00 to $4100 eat h. Only a cnuph* of years ago, New England horsemen were shaking their heads with apprehension at the low prices ruling for good horses, and tin* direst predictions were math*. The younsters from Mr. Forbes’ Ne ponset farm, all by the famous M« d dler, the Derby favorite which was scratched upon the death of its owner, show that the New England stock has not degenerated, and with Mr. Ebon Jordan improving the standard of hackneys and the Thayers and Mr. Maleom For lies producing trotting stock, the horseman will soon be able to procure whatever he wants right here in New England at prices which will be profitable to the breeder.

Annual Meet ol Maine Gun Clubs. The officers of the Waterville tfmi Cl ut. have set upon the days of Wednes day and Thursday. August is and 111. for the annual tournament of the pun clut.s ..f Maine. The state shoot is held in l his city because the Waterville club is the champion team having won the championship at Richmond, last fall. I'iditor Wyman of the Kvoning Mail, has the following; to say regarding; the meet and as tic is one f the officers and best shots in the club, what he Tlu* State tournament is always the most interesting trap-shooting event «»r i la* yi iir in Maine and bids fair to be more largely attended than ever be fore. The Waterville elub since its or ganization has always sent representa tives to the shoots driven by other Hubs in the State and the members of those other oluhs will reciprocate the nmr lesy by being on hand in full lore*1. There are in the neighborhood of If, lubs in the State and probably nearly every one of them will be represented at the tournament. Portland, the large: t club in the State, will probably send two teams to compete for the c hampionship, as it has in former years. 1 >uring the last year several Hubs have been formed in the western part of the State, in Franklin and Oxford c ounties, and members of those Hubs will doubt less be on hand at the tournament along with the* more* experienced men of the older organizations. I he local team will install another "keystone" set of traps, as it is call'd, and will thus he able to throw lit,nun op more targets each day of the shoot. At the State tournaments there is always a pood sized crowd present of speeta tots who do not take part in the shoot ing and the same will probably hold true this year. f grass that was lodged by yesterday’s rain.
