Look for the Red ADMIRAL SAMPSON Calls on President McKinley, Monday, at Washington. t Is Congratulated on Success of Fleet in Cuban Waters. Acting Sec. Alton Says He Will Retain Com mand ol Squadron. Washington, Aug. 22.—Admiral Sampson called on President McKin ley, today, and spent 35 minutes with him in a discussion of the Cuban com mission plans and other matters. At the navy department he spent some minutes exchanging courtesies with the naval ollicials, and Acting Secretary of the Navy Allen then drove him to the White House, the two join ing the President at 4.15 o’clock. The President shook the admiral’s hand very cordially and inquired about his experiences in commanding the licet in the Cuban waters. Admiral Sampson referred briefly to a number of the important incidents in the war and in response to an in quiry from the President expressed his gratification at the achievement of July 5, when Admiral Cervera’s licet was annihiliated. The details of the great battle were gone over quite thoroughly. The President at the outset took occasion to express his thanks to the admiral for the success of the battle and showed deep interest in the story of the1 engagement as told by him. The talk also bore on the rea sons for not entering the harbor of Santiago and the placing of mines and torpedoes in Cuban ports. j The plans of the comnflssion to ar range for the evacuation of Cuban was talked over and Mr. KcKinley told the admiral that written instructions would be given the commission in a few days. During the call Secretary Alger came over from the war department to con sult the President regarding the dispo sition of troops and finding Admiral Sampson there greeted him ifhd Joined in the discussion. lloth Rear Admirals Sampson and Schley had been invited by the President to confer on the plan of the commission, but Admiral Schley did not arrive, this afternoon. Admiral Sampson looked somewhat fatigued. He did not wear his uni form, being attired in an ordinary sack suit of light mixed cloth. He refused to talk for publication. When asked how long he would remain here he answered: “No longer than necessary." After leaving lh" Pres'dent he stopped just long enough to gratify several au tograph enthusiasts and then drove oft to his hotel, where Acting Secretary Allen left him. The latter announced positively that the admiral would retain his command of the North Atlantic squadron while one of the Cuban commissioners. Admiral Sampson will go to his home in New Jersey to spend a few days. WILLING TO GO HOME. Many ol the Volunteers Anxious to Be Mut> tered Out. Washington, Aug. 22.—The war de partment has not yet made out the list of regiments to be mustered out of the service, but has been in constant cor respondence with' various sections of the country on the subject. At first It was thought that to dis band the service would prove embar rassing to the department but' now it is belived that there has been a change of sentiment and the officers and men of the regiments that see no possibility of further fighting are willing to go back to their homes. Admiral Schley U 111 at Home. Hridgeport, Conn.. Aug 22.—Admiral Schley is confined to his summer home in Westport by illness and no one ex cept his attendants are allowed to see him or have any conversation with him. The illness is pronounced a fe-1 ver, the character of which is not known. Capt. Sigsbee Promotad. Washington. Aug 22.—The President has promoted Capt. Charles D. Slgs-' bee, TT. S.

The temperature will slightly increase in the Ohio valley and the middle and south Atlantic states, where tomperaa tures of 90 or above will be experienced, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Washington, Aug. 22.—The state de partment received a call, today, from M. Thidbaut, secretary of the French embassy, and in charge during the ab sence of AtnbassadorCambon, who bore a notification from the Spanish gov ernment of the military commissioners for Cuba and Porto Rico. Under the peace protocol each government was *o name its military commissioners with in 10 days, their meeting to begin with in 30 days. Tlie 10 days was up today, and ac cordingly Spain gave the official notice of the appointments. They arc as ful For Cuba—-Major General Gonzales Pan-ado, Rear Admiral Pastor y Lan dero. Marquis Montoro. For Porto Rico—Major General Orte ga y Diaz, Commodore of First Rank Vallarino y Carrasco, Judge Advocate Sanchez del Aguila y Leon. The foregoing official list differs from wim> of the lists given in press dis patches, which have included Admiral Morvtojo, Gen. Blanco. Gen. Macias and several other prominent Spanish officers. Considerable significance attaches to the naming of -Marquis Montoro of the Cuban commission, as it indicates a purpose on- the part of Spain to go in to the future government of Cuba. He is the only commissioner, Span ish or American, taken from civil life. He is secretary of the treasury of the Cuban Autonomist cabinet, and all his interests are connected with the government of Cuba, rather than with the military question of the evacuation of Cuba. He is named, it is believed,, in order to carry out Spain’s desire to have an understanding as to the future gov ernment of the islands, he being inti mately familiar with the question of the civil administration of Cuba. As secretary of the Cuban treasury he is also very familiar with questions af fecting the Cuban debt.

Peace Commissioners to be Royally Entertained af Paris.

Stttioni to Be Hold in Ike Famous Salon des Ambaitadeurt. Washington, Aug. 22.—In view of the early meeting at Paris of the Spanlsh American peace commissioners, ar rangements are already under way for the entertainment cf this distin guished body. It is understood that the commissioners will be the guests of the French government and while no formal invitation has yet been extend ed, there is reason to believe that one will come in due time and that the commissioners will be received every courtesy and attention the French government can bestow. The meeting of the commission will be held at the French' foreign office, in the historic Salon des Ambassadeurs. It was there that the famous congress of Faris met in 18S6. The Salon is probably the most elegant official apartment in all Kurope. The several commissioners will chose their own private quarters, although Secretary I>ay may he the guest of the United Staos embassy. The Presi dent hopes to be able to qnnounce the names of the commissioners on the part of the United States this week. GEN. MILES COMING HOME. Gen. Brooke Will Command at Porto Rico, Assisted by Gen. Wilson. Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. 22.—Morning —Oen. Miles and his staff will leave for his home on the steamer Arkansas, tonight. He is now holding a final conference with Stars and Stripes floated on the tropi cal breezes from every official flag saff. The ceremony was a most impresslv one. To hear the strains of "Hatvai Penei” for the last time ns a nationa anthem; to hear the bugle blow tap as the Hawaiian ensign sank from it position, and to notice the emotion o many who had been born under it am had lived their lives under It, was sol emn. But then came the bugle call for th raising of Old Glory, and the strains o "The Star Spangled Banner” brok forth, as the banner was unfurled t the breeze. When the cheers brok forth, eyes that had been dim for few minutes became bright when th Stars and Stripes blew out. In the grounds and around all the ap proaches were crowds of on-lookert Notably remarkable was the numbe of Hawaiians. Within the ground the military and naval display wa tine. Hawaiian troops, United State marines, the mounted patrol, the pollc and the citizens' guard presented i splendid appearance. SHAFTER’S DISPATCHES.

GARCIA’S REPORT

Of Operations of thb Insur gent Army in Cuba. Directed by Cuban Government to Co operate With the Americans. Claims to Have Done Everything Possible ii Obeying These Orders. New York. Aug. 22.—Gen. Calixti Qarcla has sent his lirst official state' nient concerning the Cuban operations at>Santiago to the Cu-ban Junta in this city. The messenger bearing Gen Garcia's statement arrived, today, ant MT. Horatio S. Rubens, counsel for the Junta, gave out a translation of th000 men at Aserrederos and land east of Santiago de Cuba. With this ob ject I sent for the forces at Aguacate, near Palma, and on the 2f>th at 7 A. M., we began to embark, which opera tion was finished in the evening. These forces forming three distinct columns were respectively under the command of Major General Capote, Generals of Division Cebreco and Lora, and Brig. Gen. Sanchez Heeheverria, the entire force being under the immediate com mand of Major General Jesus Rabi. It was on board the Alamo with my staff and some officers Invited by Gen. Lud low, who had superintended the em barkation. Brig. Gen. Sanchez, with a force of 800 men, who embarked first In the steamer Leone, landed at 5 o'clock P. M.. in Sibo ney. There were already camped, the other Cuban forces which had arrived be fore us with as many thousands of the American army. General of Division Es trada. marched on the 25th to Aguacate to gather the forces that were there, to form a column of 800 to 1000 men to march them toward Santiago In readiness tst*- Ji. __ fight «ay .|**rce* that might ho wnt to the said city. At dawn on ttw ffith, -the steamers Ori »M>*a and Seneca were opposite Slboney, carrylhB the balance of my forces. I was on board of the Alamo with my staff and some officers invited by Gen. Ludlow. At 7 o’clock, the landing commenced at Slbo ney. ending at 10 P. M.. all the Cuban forces camping around the village. Our force*, which had arrived earlier, also camped around Slboney, as well as many thousands of the American army. Per fect fraternity reigned among the Cuban and American soluiers, who view with 1 each other In good feeling. On account of the scarcity of food in the territory In which we were,"from the first, the Amer icans supplied ns with the necessary ra tions for the subsistence of our forces. On the 29th, Gen. Shafter and myself had completed the plan of attack, and I received from him the order to march on the morrow with my forces toward San tiago, which e re membered by many in this city as en gineer on the yacht Winncgance, whir,, carried pleasure parties to Salmon Cove, last summer. The news has left a feel ing of sadness in the hearts of the young I people of his acquaintance in this city, as all remember his genial, happy dispo sition. Ha was aged 20 years, 10 months, and was the son of James P. Morse. His brother William, who has been passing the summer in this city, went home to Jerscv City, last week.—Bath Times, Aug. 22.

Book NotlCM. “The romantic story of David Robert son,” just issued from a Belfast press, Is a breexy talc from the salt water. Hundreds of stories of Insular life along the Hew England coast 'have been writ ten from the summer visitor standpoint, but so far us we are aware this Is the first of the kind written by one who has actually formed a part of Island life. Captain John Pendleton Farrow knows whereof he writes. He was born In lalcs borough, and although as a muster mar iner he has visited almost every port known to commerce, the Island town has always been his home. Outside of ma rine and business circles Captain Far row Is best known as the author of the "History of Islesboro.” The present Is his first work of fiction. His hero Is an inland lad driven from home by harsh treatment, who after several years aboard a “banker,” takes up the life of a hermit on a small Island in Penobscot bay. His successes and failures, his love making disappointment and final recon ciliation. make up the story of an Inter esting character. One of the chief charms of the book Is that the events In it Impress one as having actually oc curreu. A sea taring lire develops the observation and the descriptions in the book are wonderfully accurate; (Ro mantic History of David Robertson by C’apt. J. P. Farrow, Belfast Age Pub. Co., ISIS, 12 mo.)

The Features ol the Day’s Dealings in All the Leading Stachs. New York, Aug. 22.—The stock mar ket resumed its familiar character of the greater part of last week, today, with the exception that tile early strength of stocks was not fully re covered at any time subsequently, in fact the closing was rather easy in tone, prices being sustained with ap parent difficulty at a point decidedly below the best but somewhat above the lowest. In the Grangers, the opening prices were the best at a level of abcut 1 to 1 1-4 above the buoyant top prices of Friday afternoon. The realizing sales in the iirst hour were very heavy ar.d in spite of the 'large outside demand prices of the Grangers melted away before the protit taking sales. Before St. Paul had entirely lost its advance there was a letting up of the pressure to sell and prices again turned upward. The tone of the group was somewhat heavy for the rest of the day, though St. Paul rallied above 113 before the close. The Pacific stocks also showed evi dence of profit taking but Northern Pacific rallied. There was heavy, buy ing of Atchis n preferred during the day and Louisville Nashville ai vanced over a point near the close. There were numerous extraordinary price movements in special stocks. The railroad list generally held very firm in spite of the unsettling inlluenee of weakness in the specialties and pro fit taking in the Grangers, making stinks showing gains ranging up to a point or over.

That railroad wreck at Sharon, Mass., was no less terrible than a great battle. Manila does not seem quite certain yet whether it is glad or sorry it sur rendered. The peace protocol does not include Spain's greatest ally and next to the United States its most powerful enemy, the yellowQiffij. Now Boston wants a great naval re view. Perhaps the Htib does not realize that the Montauk has arrived there, safe from the Portland cam paign. The cigar factories in Cuba are re suming business. No one has realized, however, that there has been any les sening in the supply of "genuine Ha vanas.” Spain may be sure of at least one thing: If she had conquered the Americans, her European neighbors would be as jealous of her as they now are of the United States. Canada now wants an international exposition and Toronto has put in a bid for the year l'JOl for the big exposition. There is danger this thing is being carried too far, and the nations of the world are practically being forced to show their friendship by spending a million or two on an exhibition it some place each year. i The Swedish government has Just issued a statistical report covering the world’s growth in commerce and pro duction. The periods from 1871 to 1873 and from 1891 to *#895 are compared, and it is sliown that the United States has outstripped the world in develop ment. We’ knew jhat before, but then It is pleasant to see it demonstrated by figures prepared by, someone else. La Fayette, the Jfrench hero and one of the greatest myi that nation ever produced, is to havp his grave marked with a $250,000 momjment as a tribute from the school children of Alnerica. Commissioner General Peck, who is ti represent this government at the great International exposition in Paris it 1900, originated the idea. President Mc Kinley endorsed.it, ijnd it is atinouneec that the President will-probably issut an> address in the "near future calling: upon the schools of the United State: to observe "La Fayette day” on hi: birthday, October 19. The governor: and superintendents of public instruc tlon In each state' will lie asked to as sist, exercises for which a small ad mission fee will be charged will be hell at the different schools, and each chib in school will be asked to give om penny; Secretary of the Treasury Gag: will act as treasurer of the fund; an the plans for the monument will baper: “1 can’t hear what you say, for I am deaf and dumb.” Of course all truly distinguished peo ple come to Maine sooner or later, bui It Is not often that a single week car boast so many notables as the past one. You couldn’t count ’em vn youi fingers and toes. Among the numbet are ex-PresIdent Cleveland, Josepti Jefferson, Kev. Lyman Abbott, Admiral Cervera, Parke Godwin, Captain W. H, Jacque, the inventor of the Holland boat; Hiram and Hudson Maxim, Thomas Nelson Page, William Dean Howells, Annie Louise Cary Raymond, not to mention the rallecre nreaklont and bishop colonies at Bar Harbor, a half dozen or more ex-secretaries, the ex-ambassadors at Poland Spring, prominent ex-army men and a Rus sian prince, (the husband of Ameile Rives) at Mt. Desert. And Maine ha* a few score distinguished citizens ol her own who are at home this week. A Maine book by a Maine author which deserves more than a passing notice has just appeared from the [>ress of L. C. Page Co., .Boston. The book is "The Sleeping Beauty; A Modern Version," and the- author is that talented Waterviile lady, Mattie Raker Dunn, whose graceful style has iften given pleasure to a wide circle ol readers. The book is issued in the Cosy Corner series, and it is de dgned for young readersTrts a story which older people will read with de Ight and profit. The scene of the tale is a little island in Penobscot bay where the heroine, 'Lizabeth Eaton age eight, lives with her uncle, an honest old fisherman, and his wife. The little Princess, as the author calls her. knows absolutely nothing beyond the narrow limits of the island. That s her world. The story opens with the arrival of the "Prince” who is to awaken the sleeping beauty and show ier the greatness of the world and the jlbry of life. The Prince is a ten-year >ld Boston boy, Arthur Lenox, who was committed for the summer to the safe keeping of the old fisherman, the Prin cess' uncle. There Is much that each can teach the other and the happy children pass the summer together. They row off to that strange region, the mainland, where the Princess sees i wonderful "pi-anner. get lost among the Islands on returning, have ad ventures, get shipwrecked and lose their cherished pie, and Anally get home all right. Well, the Prince has to go away when the summer Is over. The years pass. The Prince goes through college and the Princess edu cates herself for Christian work among the poor people of the islands. She is beautiful and accomplished and has ft, "planner” of her own. Of course, the inevitable happens. The Prince returns to Penobscot bay one summer Mid they meet on the old island in the most romantic way, recognize each Jther at last, and—“Oh, the worid will ilways be sweet, sweet, sweet, so long is youth and love are in it." Such is an outline of the pretty story which Mrs. Dunn tells so fascinatingly in the Hundred pages ,of this little blue-bound volume. The salt air of the sea breathes through the pages, and there is a wholesome, helpful spirit to the work which Alls the reader's mind long after it is Anishcd. It deserves to bs widely read and will add materially to the literary fame of its author. The book has a dozen pretty drawings by BHheldred B. Barry.

Powers Wins Gratitude from Sick Soldiers. lemodeling ol OM State House Oiseutsed Other Affairs ol State. When the ca\l for troops was first made Governor Powers by waiting n short time until the ground became dry and the air a little warmer before calling upon the troops to .concentrate at Augusta, made friends of all the soldiers and greatly benefited their health. Ever since they went South he has done all In his power to have them comfortable and by closely look ing after the details has won their hearts. Nothing he has done, however, brought the widespread praise that his last act of kindness has. The follow ing explains itself: Portland Courier: “A thoughtful and very laudable deed was that of Governor Powers, having sent an or der through Adjutant General itieh ards to Col. John D. Prindable of this city to send two dozen bouquets of beautifully assorted flowers to thq il sick soldiers who are at the Maine General hospital. The thought ful kindness of these gentlemen will be greatly appreciated by the soldier boys, and long remembered by all who know of it. "II General Klchands received the fol lowing telegram from Colonel Prind able: “Flowers placed at each cot, tears of sick soldiers expressed grati tude to Maine's Governor.” The new carpet for the remodeled Senate chamber has arrived from Hooper, Son ‘Leighton of Portland and they had a crew putting it down, Monday morning.

A Boston paper says that many citi zens throughout Maine are anxious that something*should be done by the next Legislature to repair and modern ize the olri section of the State House. By the construction of the addition the location of the structure was fixed here for all time, and it is 'but good business management, these people declare, to put the main building in as good con dition as the remainder. It is suffer ing for the want of reconstruction,they say. Old fashioned, with much worn wooden floors, cut up into small rooms with low ceilings, several of which are not in use, it is not a credit to the State, and there is constant menace from fire. Valuable records are stored in the old building, the destruction of which would be irreparable. To pro tect them a fireproof building is need ed. Then there -is the dome, which meets the eye of the visitor as a slate colored protuberance. Critics My it is too flat and should be raised, gilded and made presentable. Hon. Stephen Sj*. Carr, State insur ance commissioner, has received a very handsome programme of the twenty-ninth session of the National Convention of Insurance Commission ers to be held in Milwaukee, Wis., September 13-16.

Major Newcomb of the Maine batter ies, received orders from the chief com missary of the army at Governor’s Island, New York, to have his com missary provide fresh beef, onions, fresh bread, and potatoes for the 1st Maine Regiment when it arrives from Chickamauga, which will t>e the latter part of the week. There is very little sickness at Camp Powers; those who are ill being troub led with colds and bowel trouble from which they rapidly recover. Nine men who have been absent from camp w Kb out leave were made to pace beside the sentries, Monday morn ing, carrying pieces of joist 12 feet long. They staid on the beats until noon and were rather tired when re leased. Frank Charity of Battery B, who was arrested in Fairfield, Sunday, was one of the men. The batteries drilled in extended or der, yesterday, and were given some practice in advance guard work, going down through the fields nearly to Sew all street, throwing out flankers and points as though they were protecting the advance of an army. X man named Bullock from Calais, who has been hanging around the camp for a number of days was con fined in the guard house, Monday morning, and twice during the day made his escape. He was recaptured, the first time by the sentry, but the second time a relief chased and found him in a barn. He was taken back to camp and ironed to prevent another escape._ _ Tonight’s Band Concort.

This is the bnly bowling alley in Maine having this modern improvement. Landlord Bowman intends to keep abreast of the times in every respect.—Industrial Journal. .i JOSEPH H. WALL. One ol Augusta’s Assessors Dies, Monday, o Consumption After Several Months’ Illness. The many friends of Joseph H. Wall, one of the liourd of assessors of the city of Augusta, were greatly shocked to hear of his death although it has been expected for sonic time, as he had been ill for several months, with con sumption. He died at 8.40, Mon day morning, at his home on the river road, nearly two miles from the city. Mr. Wall was born on October 30, 1843, aii received a f^nd education, 1 icing a graduate of1 'the" high school and was a very well read man. For 14 years of his life he was a carpenter but ill kept up his farm and at the end of that time he went back on the farm. Mr. Wall was always a good citizen and was greatly interested in all matters pertaining to the wel fare of Augusta. Hh held several offices in the city. He was a member of the hoard of aldermen in 1862. a member of the common council In 1873 1'74, an overseer of the poor in 1881 1882 and was elected to the board of assessors in 1883 and had served con tinuously, with the exception' of 1884. There was no man in the world who knew more about the values in the city, both real and personal, and his long cxpet ienee on the board made him a valuable help to the other membere. He was re-elected, last spring, for a term of three years. During the win ter he had the grip and it developed into consumption and from that time to the time of his death he was a great sufferer. His last meeting with the board was June 16 when the taxes were committed He visited the city within a month, however, and made a gallant struggle to the end against the disease. Mr. Wall was a man Of judicial fair ness of mtnd. All who served with him upon the board of assessors will bear cheerful testimony to the fact that he was singularly free from prej udices. He was always a courteous and attentive listener, and was actuat ed in his official work by a sincere de sire to deal justly and fairly with all men. With rare good judgment he combined a ready tact which enabled him to avoid needless frictions, and retain In an unusual degree the con fidence and good will of his fellow citi zens. His sympathies were broad. Those who served with him in his offi cial duties know how jealously he guarded the little fund appropriated for aliatements In order that it might be applied to the relief of those de serving cases of extreme need which stood in special want of it. If he some times refused to distribute It in re sponse to the calls of those with In comes sufficient for their comfortable livelihood, his associates on the board knew that he had in mind the sick, the aged and the widowed, who were with out such income, and to whom the re lief afforded by the abatement fund meant the actual necessities of life. Ills kindly heart never failed to heal in sympathy for such cases, and hii vie-: constant regret was that he had not the power to do more for them. Those who knew him best under stood that beneath a modest, almost diffident demeanor were hidden the generous impulses, warm affections, and tender sympathies of a true and loyal nature. His knowledge of the property of Augusta was wonderfully comprehen sive and accurate. Only those who have served with him can fully ap preciate how much this meant in solv ing the mhny perplexing questions con stantly arising—through deaths, re movals, and transfers of titles—in the assessing of values. He served our city long and well, and now that he has laid down his tasks, and passed on to join the loved ones gqpc before, our people. In Just tribute, may unite in saying "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock, Wednesday afternoon. rrooaie court.

The Masons own ed and occupied the upper story of the building, which story was insured t for 11200. while the Waite estate car ried 22400 on the balance, making a total of 23600 on the property. The trouble which has occurred with the adjusters was in relation to the owner ship of certain parts of the building, s although the first adjuster 'who esti f mated the loss awarded the lodge its full insurance of 21200.

WATERYILLE. CRANKS RESINNING TO TALK About the Teami the Local School* Will Put on the Gridiron. Already the foot ball cranks are be ginning to talk of the great game of the fall, and are predicating the outlook of the fltflife school teams. Coburn Classical it is thought will have a star for a team, but few of the men having been lost by graduation. Waterville high will have an uphill fight, it is thought, as many of last year’s players have no thoughts of returning :o school. When the valedictory was said to the graduating class of Coburn, last spring, the school had lost five of its good players. There are, however, enough to take the places of these men, so that the team's prospects are bright. It has been given out that Lavlgne, who proved to be such a suc cessful full back on the high school team, last year, will enter Coburn, this tail. With this the case it is as good as settled that he is sure of a place on the team. He is scheduled as full back, the old place where he has proven to be such a teVrur to many of the school teams in the State. Thompson, It is predicted, will be back in his old place at center with Staples at guard. Stetson as a tackle. Dyer end. Sprowl hall back to act In conjunction with Flood. These are all old men. und with a good choice front the partially developed material in the school, it is thought Coburn will have a team that will stand well Into the wuiii ianK8 w m n Lilt season uua closed. The high school hus good material, tills year, and already candidates ar mentioned for thea team. While there is good material In the team the can didates are not used to playing to gether as a team. As a result it will take a good deal of coaching to bring the teams up to the position they will have before the season is closed. Foley, the captain, who Is looked on as a good end. will, in all probability, play back of the,.jluc1 as a half back. Tyler, last ycjff’s light guard, is scheduled as the,„fii,U back while E. Hrann, a new man on the team but a good tackier and runner, is scheduled for the other half buck. Elmer Allen, who is universally acknowledged as a good blocker and a man who has a cool head on a pair of liroad shoulders is picked us the tua^r^yr quarter, com pleting the lwckpj, Leonard is picked as the man for ren^r, .having played, last year, as guard. Bean and Connors are picked as the guards with Warner, an old man who it is thought will re turn from the West, and Qulnby for tackles. Williams is picked as an end. Who will play on the opposite end has not yet been decided. Other candidates ,gre Varney, last year’s center, who will lie pushed by Leonard for center, will in all prob ability return to .^glyool. P. Hrann will probably be a candidate for full buck. There are a host of other candi dates and with good, coaching a good team is looked for. NO MORE CONCERTS. The Money li Exhausted and No Move Made to Raise More. Unless the people of Waterville make up a purse for the band boys' the prob ability Is that the people here have had the last band concert of the season. The last concert was given, Wednes day night. At that time the money for the concerts was nearly exhausted. In spite of this fact the concert was given complimentary to the visiting gunners. It was the understanding at the be ginning of the season that the con certs would be given as long as the money subscribed for that purpose held out. The concerts have been given and the money is now exhausted. The matter of starting a subscription paper among the merchants had been advanced by several but as near as could be learned, yesterday, no at tempt had been made to raise money for the concerts. There is a general feeling among the people who have been talked with that the concerts ought to be contiuued, at least through September. What will be done to continue the concerts is as yet only a matter of guesswork. OATES FINALLY SETTLED Far Holding the Meet §1 the Best Maine Gunnert. The members of the Waterville Gun Club have Anally settled down on August 30 and 31 as the dates for the State shoot. It was at first planned to have the shoot begin the Arst of September on account of the fact that the law on woodcock goes off the first day of September It was thought bets to hbve the shoot held at some other time. Many of the gunners have been planning to go into the woods on the Arst day when they are allowed to shoot woodcock. Should the shoot be held on that day. It was thought the attendance would be smaller than It otherwise would be. As many of the best shots in the State have been holding back for that meet it was thought b&st to hold the meet earlier and thus Insure the atten dance of gunners all over the State. Among the local gunners. S. L. Preble is looked upon as the man who will carry oft the honors. The show ing he made at the Interstate shoot has made local people w'lling to wager almost any amount that he will carry ‘ojpt all the honors of the'day. ;-iPAIBFIELD» 1 tin.

It stated that he had been arrested and bound over for larceny of a sum of money, when It should have said that he was the victim of the theft, the suspected party being Mrs. Morse or Norrldge wock. against whom Mr. Butler had sworn out a warrant. The hearing was in Skowhegan, Saturday. Some one entered the shop of J. R. Donmtly,Sunday night, and carried off a bicycle. A ladder was taken from the outside of the shop and an en trance made through an upper window on the back side, which was broken.

TO FOIL THE SEARCHLIGHT. 'I The Principle el Deflected Light Rays as in Aid to Torpedo Boats. Experiments have recently been made promising an -added cover to the approach of torpedo boats at night, and. paradox ically. light Is to be a cloak under which they are to approach within surer strik ing distance. The present plan Is decided ly novel, while based upon principles known ever since light and reflection have been studied at all. Notwithstand ing the blinding Inquisitiveness of the modern searchlight.-with its power of mil lions of candle glow, a good many ex perienced naval officers have said they would rather trust to their own keen eyesight than to the piercing beams of the electric searchlight to detect the ap proach of hostile craft, and now they are to be borne out, for this very radiance is to be used as a blind under which the torpedo boat can come more certainly upon Its quarry. The principle Is simple. Every’ one that has looked Into the theory of optics even In the most elementary manner knows that light Is reflected from a reflecting surface at an angle exactly equal to the angle with which the direct rays strike the reflector. Now to apply this to a mirror at the head of a torpedo boat fac ing an enemy's searchlight. It the mir ror he placed upright on the bow of the boat the direct rays from the light strike squarely upon the reflecting mirror and are cast back in the eye of the light and are seen from that station. But if the mirror is tilted forward at a slight angle, the reflected beams are east down instead of back toward the souroe of light. The result is that, falling right in the path of the full, strong, original beams, they are practically lost tind do not make enough glow upon a broken surface like the sea to cause tletection. and the searchlight's power becomes of no avail. In service the reflector would be made, in all probability, of highly polished met aJ lacquered with some waterproof var nish^ The plate would be secured to a stout backing, without any chance of tell tale frame edges to catch the light, and then pivoted on the stem just far enough above the water line to cast the bow wave in shadow, and so fixed that the tilt forward could be modified to suit the po sition of the enemy's guarding search light. Glass would not stand the vibra tion and the shock of head seas, while the metal reflector could lie made strong enough to bear reasonably hard usage, and a dent or two would cause no mate laLi uaiua^v.—i iiiiauci|MiK( Hint's. There are few farmers in that sec tion who possess a finer herd of cows than H. J. Weymo'uth of Dexter. There are 1!4 full blood and grade Jerseys in the herd all selected with great care, not only taking into consideration their milk producing qualities, but ani mals were only eligible to the herd which were up to a certain standard of fine appearance and healthfulness. It has required some time for Mr. Weymouth to get them together but h^ feels amply repaid for the effort he has spent in obtaining it. The milk Is all sold to customers in the village. Mr. Weymouth finds himself unable to supply the demand with this number of cows and will shortly increase the number to 30. He has one of the fin est farms in this section, It having been greatly improved since he moved on to it several years ago. Notwith standing the number of cows and six large work horses besides the one he uses for a driver, the place cuts all the hay required to carry this large stock. In this country last year the number of milcl) cows increased about 25 per cent, aifd the numben'pf other cattle over 30 per cent, while the number of sheep anti swine siightfy'ilecreased. is r m n f baseball between two nines composed if youthful players, a MO yurds hurdle •aee. ten 10-Inch hurdles; a relay race vith relays stationed one-eighth of a mite ‘part around the track, dress and un ices.s race, three-legged race, GO-yards po tato race, GO-yards sack race.
