Discovered by Tramp, Who Has No Further Knowledge. Clinton, Mo., Aug. 2.—(Special).—The liinjy .if an unknown man was found iyif’g beside the Maine Central track about 50 feet below the Vjig culvert which is located almost oposite the tan nery. about 6 o’clock, this morning. From the wounds found on the body the cause of death is plain, but just how the injuries were inflicted :s rather a perplexing problem, al though thi n seems to be little doubt tb.it it was through some accident. The body was found by a stranger '•ho gives his name as George Arthur Kennedy, aim who frankly admits that he was working his way through to Itangor by freights or “shank’s mare” "hen the former were found unaeces sible. He says that he has been wan k ing for a man named Clinton in New l.ondon. Conn., doing general farm work, but that he is a burner by trade. He came through as far as Portland by regular passenger trains on a ticket and admits that lie has been working his way through from there. He says that he ai rived in Waterville, Friday night and spent the night there in a box ear, leaving in a cattle car on a freight at 5.15 the next morning for Bangor. He says that when the train stopped at Burnham the ear in which lie was riding was near the bridge and that lie noticed a man lying beside the track. Thinking that it was a funny place for a man to be si -1 ing he got out for the purpose of arousing him. When he got near him he found that ids face was discolored and that when he took hold of one of his hands it was cold. Konm dy then went forward to the station and notified a man who lie sup posed was the station agent and with him and the fireman of the train went back to investigate. He told the sta tion agent, he says, that lie was bound for Bangor and that if he was wanted for anvthinc in the ease hi could be found there by writing him a letter. After the freight left the station he continued on ids journey on foot and had gotten something like two or three miles out when he was overtaken by a man on a hand car and brought back to the town. This man was C. P. I.odcr, an officer of Clinton, who took prompt and energetic measures to se ll! re the stranger when his connection with the ease was learned. Coroner II. B. Snell of Waterville, was summoned as soon as it was known that there had been an acci dental d' ith and arrived during the leu noon. The body had not been moved from the spot were it was found, but bad been eon red with a i iece of can vas. The cor am r made as thorough an examination aw was possible under the eiri umstanci s and found that the man’s left side had been crushed i’i directly over the heart, one of his tem ples bruised and his right leg broken cleanly down near the ankle. The face was already considerably discolored and the gas had commenced to rise from the stomach and to issue from m mouth, leaving a quantity of frothy looking substance on the lips. The man could not be Identified by any of those who saw him and there was nothing whatevei on his person to show what his name might be or where he belonged. There was no money in bis clothes, but a quantity of worthless trinkets, ha hiding the fronts of some cigarette boxes apparently picked up nno saved for the premiums offered for them, a cartridge shell, some rocks that glistened with some substance looking like gold, a good sized piece of cheap soap wrapped carefully in a piece of newspaper, a piece.of a cheap brok :i comb and the scattered haves of a calendar. Finn .1 to ltis coat was found a bronze badge, inscribed “M. V M. Second Class Marksmen. 1901.” The clothing itself was of a cheap quality and considerably worn. Then* was nn vest, a neglige shirt and a white collar. The body was that of a boy apparently IT or is years of age, about 5 feet, 4 incites in height and of might built!. The hair was red anti the fi.ee fieckletl and smooth shaven. Pr. Shaw was of the opinion that tne man had boon dead several hours, pos sible all night. When found the body was void ancl rigid. After t’oroner Snell had made his investigation a Jury was impanneled to investigate tli' eauso of the death. This consisted of N. Jaequith, A. A. Shaw. L. \V akely, W. I. rain Uuel Gerald. Sewell Grown. G. A. Kennedy, the man who found the 1 ody, v.as examined and told his story a.-, already given. Kennedy also stated that be did not know the dead in in and that he had never se*:n him before. When asked wliv he didn’t notify the town au thorities he said he didn’t know them as h° had never been in the town before and he didn’t know what to do anyway. H said that the body was in a kind of side position .and looked as if it had struck where it lay, as there were no tracks about it. The man apparently told a perfect ly straight and honest story. He was a willing witness and was frank enough about some things some peo ple might be inclined to wish to hid and showed no signs of desiring to conceal anything whatever. He im pressed the majority ns being perfectly square and sincere, and some eireum I stances backed ’UP his statements in way that he misht be supposed not to expect. As it was practically impossible to get some witnesses that were needed the inquest was adjourned to 10 o’clock, (Continued on page 2.) Delicately perfumed toilet soaps. Genuine Castile soaps.

Belfast, Me., Aug. 3.—The contro versy over the right of river craft to make Sunday landings at the North pelt Methodist campground pier was brought to an acute stage, today, when Capt. Fred Bennett of the steamer Golden Hod, with an excursion' party from Bangor, forced a landing. The campground trustees have always maintained that Hie campground is private property, and as the main in gress is by way of the main pier, Sun day excursionists have been unable to reach the grounds. Today, the pier gates were broken down, the act being witnessed by hundreds. The excur sionists appeared to tie royally wel ot mod by those who are occupying tha houses on the grounds. The two-masted schooner J. H. Wainwright, which is anchored a short distance below the wharf of the East ern Steamshop Co., at Bangor was boarded by priates, Friday night, dur ing the absence of Capt. Eaton and stripped of rope, nawsi rs, compass and deck fittings. The schooner's yawl boat ,vas also set adrift. Apropos of the talk going the rounds that Sheriff Pearson would withdraw from tin- sheriffship race on account of ill health. Deputy Sheriff A. S. l'.isbee of Brunswick, chairman of the prohibi tion county committee, says that Mr. lVarson has no int ntion of withdraw ing while there is life in his body. GRANNY DID IT. Knew the Food That Furnished Power. A grandmother, by studying the proper selection of food, cured h rself or stomach trouble and severe head aches. l.atrr on she was able to save h00 and a saving of $20,000 more for his owner was made on a circuit of the track which occupied 3 minutes and ■it seconds, going around alone, in the fourth and deciding heat on a slow jog, Boralma being drawn. The accident happened in the third heat, and upon the advice of the vet etinary. I>r. George Lee of Boston, and the consent of the judges, Boralma was drawn, as he could not iimp- even. Lord Derby went around the track to complyWith the rules, and that decided the great. $20,000 side bet and the $10, 000 pui se. Three heats were trotted, Boralma winning the first by Laird Derby's break in 2.08, while Lord Derby took the second in 2.09Vi, and the third, when Geers jogged home, in slow time, 2.18VL laird Derby won the second heat easily because Boralma broke in the home stretch, 100 yards from the wire.The third heat was ;e jog all the way for laird Derby, for Boralma cut himself after going 220 yards. The racers came on the track shortly after 3 o’clock. Lord Derby, with Geers behind him. being the first to appear. He was greeted with loud applause. Boralma followed about a minute later, and the chearing which marked his ap pearance showed that he was the fav orite with the crowd. Geers won the tess for position and chose the polo. After scoring three times Starter Walker gave the word to go. The Bos ton horse outstepped Lord Derby front the start. He took possession of the pole at the first turn and held it all the way. The horses were about a length apart until the home stretch was reached. As they came toward the wire Lord Derby swerved and broke, and Boralma came under the wire four lengths ahead in 2.08. Loud cheering marked the finish of the heat. As the horses came to the track for the second heat Geers expressed con fidence that Lord Derby would win. The horses got off promptly, and Bo ralma led until the distance pole was passed. Then Lord Derby drew up and shot by Boralma. The Boston horse followed gamely and rallied, but the rally*was followed by a break, and he crossed the wire two lengths behind Lord Derby. In this heat Boralma showed signs of lameness. Time, 2.09 Va. In the third heat Boralma once more took the lead at the start, but his ad vantage was shortlived. He broke at the first turn and again at the stretch. As tin- racers came toward the wire It was plainly evident that something serious had happened to Boralma, for he went to pieces, and Geers pulled Lord Derby in In order not to distance his unlucky rival and allowed Boralma to come within a length of him at the wire. Time. 2.18V,. As soon :is the heat was over ine an nouncer called for a veterinary Burgeon. Dr. G. H. Lae of V’.oston responded and found that Boralmn had been so badly injured that he could race no more that day. Consequently, with the consent of the judges, he was drawn. In order to fulfil the requirements of the match Lord Derby trotted the next heat alone and was then awarded the victory. After the last beat had been trotted. Lord Derby, accompanied by a runner, trotted an exhibition mile in 2.0X. After the accident Boratma was taken to his quarters and Dr. Lee set to wink on him. He told a representative of The Associated Press that the Injury was the result of the horse's over-reaching and that the gash cut in the leg was four inches in length. He was unable to say If the horse had been permanent ly injured. T. D. Marsh, who drove Ttoralma, said be was unable to tell just when the accident occurred, but was of the opinion that it occurred at the three quarter pole. John Roach, Mr. Lawson’s repre sentative, said the Injury to lloralma would undoubtedly prevent the race between the Boston horse and The Ab bot at Charter Oak park on Aug. 30. The Lawson contingent was deeply, (Continued on page 3.)

DAN PATCH, 2.00%. A New Star and a Wonderful Mile Paced at Columbus. Columbus. O., Aim. 3.—Tho feature of the closing day of the Grand Circuit trot tin*; was th** successful attempt of th« undefeated pacing stallion Dan Patch i«, beat the record of his famous sire. Jo«* Patchen, 2.01*4. Driven by his trainer. Myron McHenry, the handsome brown horse circled the track in 2.00%. The quarters were as follows: .31, .2*.). •30*4. .30%. The horse finished pulled up. and there is no question that he could have made the mile in two minutes fiat, or even faster, if McHenry had driven him out in the last quarter. The track was lightning fast and the weather was calm when McHenry brought the great stallion out for the trial. II scored down once and the next time was sent away, accompanied by a runner. Tin* first quarter around the turn was paced in 31 seconds. When ho turned into the backstrjtch McHenry let him fly, and the half was reached in 1 minute fiat. T’v third quarter around the upper turn was paced in 1.30%. and the horse was going so easily when he straightened away for the wire that it was evident that he could not fail to break the record. About 50 yards from the wire McHen ry began to pull Dan Patch and succeed ed in partially stopping him before th« mile was finished. McHenry made the following statement after the trial: “My intention was to drive a mile cDs to 2.01’4. but not quite reaching that mark, thus escaping the penalty of the record, and leaving the horse in the 2.* i class. He was so good, however, and paced so dhsily, that we made faster time than i intended. When 1 saw that le* was certain to beat old Joe’s mark. I tried to stop him. hut I could not slow him lip in time. I am sorry now that 1 did not drive Him out, for I am sure thn' he could have come the last quarter In 29 seconds or better, equaling or lowering i Star Pointer’s record of 1.59%. He will t*o it before the season is over.” The races wore tame and uninteresting. 1 the only redeeming feature being Roam r’s victory in the 2.11 race, in the second heat, in which he reduced his record to i 2.05.

M*w0th an niversary of the town of York which will be held, tomorrow. Other towns In our State are celebrating the cen tennial of their incorporation, a few of them, each year, but few towns in Maine or elsewhere in our country can boast of 250 years of continuous cor porate existence. Old York, in fact, is more than 250 years old for it was set tled as early as 1024 or 1025 and given a city charter and government by Sir Ferdinando Gorges, April 10, 1041. It was the first English municipality having a city charter on the American continent. Eleven years later, in 1652, It was again reorganized with a town government anil it is the 250th anni versary of this organization that the present, celebration commemorates. The first settlement 'at York was called Agamenticus. It was chartered ns a city In 1641 under the name of Gorgeana, and the name of York, for the old English town, was given when it was reorganized ah a town in 1052. Maine has only one town older than York and that is the neighboring town of Kittery, which was settled a year or two earlier, and was incorporated in 1647, five years earlier. The towns have had much in common and their early days were packed with things of great interest to the student of Ameri can history. Maine had earlier set tlements than those at Kittery and York, but the towns at the mouth of the Kennebec and at Pemaquid were wiped out and there was a long stretch of time between them and the munici palities now existing above their ruins. The celebration at York, tomorrow, includes salutes, parade, concert, water carnival, fireworks, etc., but its main feature will be the commemorative ex ercises with a number of notable ad dresses by distinguished men. It is as a summer resort that beautiful York is chiefly famed in these later days all over the land, and some of our best known literary men are among the many who make it their summer home. These summer residents take much pride In the place and are among the most active in making this celebration a success. All Maine extends cordial greetings, and wishes York all pros perity through the years and centuries to come. The Boston Herald's Washington correspondent says that some of the Democratic leaders prefer not to make any serious effort to win this fall's congressional campaign, believing it better for Democracy to let the Re publicans remain in absolute power till 1904. How sour the grapes are grow ing as their inaccessibility is realised! Texas dispatches state a baby in that state was carried away by an eagle, last week. No name was men tioned and there will be great anxiety over the country until Senator Bailey is heard from. Japan is to have Chinese exclusion laws based on those of this country, and any other country which has Chinese immigration will sooner or later be forced to a similar step. Bryan says that J. P. Morgan is a dangerous man. There isn't much doubt what Morgan would say of Bryan if he took the trouble ta ex press his opinion. __ Boots and Shoes. Census bulletin number 221, which deals with the manufacture of boots and shoes, shows that New England is still far in the lead in this business, employing more than half the total capital and. manufacturing con siderably more than half of the total output. The West has made large gains in the past decade and Cin cinnati, St. Louis and Chicago now rank among the first 10 cities in this business. Brockton, Lynn and Haver hill rank first, second and third re spectively, showing that Massachusetts holds the place it has had from the earliest days of the republic when it made the shoes for the continental army. Until 1900, Lyr.n had ranked first for 125 years. Auburn ranks 10th in the country in the manufacture of shoes, the only city Maine has in the list of 54 which manufactured products valued at over $1,000,000 during the census year of 1900. The remarkaDle thing about Auburn’s position is that it was not among 165 principal shoe manufacturing cities reported in 1890. The bulletin shows that in 1900 there were 1800 boot and shoe manufacturing establishments in the country, with a capital employed of $101,795,233, em ploying an average of 151,000 men and women and paying them $67,000,000 an nually. The value of the products of these 1600 establishments for 1900 was $261,028,580 and 219,235,419 pairs of boots and shoes were manufactured. The growth of the industry during the decade was steady but not phenom enal, and about kept pace with the growth of population. Our exports of boots and shoes are not large as they were only $5,526,290 in 1901- and that was a million and a half more than in any previous year. It would seem that our manufacturers have an op portunity here to show their enter prise. In fact, they are showing it, for more American shoes are going abroad, every year, but the field is very large and we ought to be export ing many more than we are. The maximum yearly capacity of the com bined factories of the United States, on a basis of three hundred working days, is slightly under 400,000,000 pairs, showing that all the factories running at full capacity would require not ex ceding seven months to produce all shoes consumed in the United States, and those exported for the year ending June 30. 1000. As to Maine's part in the manufac ture of boots and shoes, the bulletin shows that we have 48 establishments with $5,14S,278 capital, employing 6S00 people and paying them over $7,000,000 annually. Its product in 1900 was $12, 295,847 against $10,335,342 in 1890. The State ranks seventh in amount of capital employed, and sixth in the value of its products and in the num ber of wage-earners. During the decade Maine shows a gain in capital of $343,332, or 7.1 per cent., and an in crease in product of $1,960,505, or 19 per cent. Compared with 1880, the gain in capital was 276.1 per cent., and in product 111.1 per cent. So in spite of our idle shoe factories, Maine holds a leading place in this great industry and the business shews a large and constant growth. Massachusetts, of course, leads with New York second. New Hampshire third and Ohio fourth. A feature of the business which the bulletin notes is that there is a con stant decrease in the number of men employed and a corresponding increase in the number of women and children. As Offsetting Higher Prices. Once in a while a Democratic editor or orator in his desperation for an issue appeals to the working class against the tariff on the ground of al leged higher prices for the necessities of life. He doesn't bother to state that the greatest and most expensive commodity in the land, American labor, has increased 2r> to r.0 per cent, since the Dingley tariff law went into operation. Under the old Democratic regime there were hundreds of thou sands of workingmen out of employ ment. but at the present time there is probably not an able bodied man in the United States who cannot find work if he wants it. This is a difference which the workingmen understand, and they are not to be fooled by any argument about higher prices. They prefer the higher price and the money to pay it, rather than a lower price and no money to pay it. All over the land in the past four or five years there have been enormous increases in savings banks deposits, in life insurance premiums and in other things of that kind which demonstrate the prosperity of the people in general and the working class in particular. The statistics of Massachusetts, which are admittedly fair, show that the workingmen of all classes in that state are now earning from 40 to 50 per cent, more than in 1S96. The farmers of the country are even better oil. They were never so prosperous as they are today. Prices of commodities have increased, but not in proportion to the earnings of labor. There is not only steady work for all, hut higher wages. Both of those count immense ly to the interest of the wage earner. They can afford to pay better prices, which are not general, however, and are willing to do it. Much credit is due the Boston papers for the way in which they are refusing to exploit Miss Mary MacLane. The Maine Auld Lang Syne. Should old acquaintance be forgot. And never brought to mind— Should we forget our childhood homes And the days of old "Lang Syne?” For old lang syne so dear Our hearts to thee entwine: And memories fond we cherish oft For days of old lang syne. The woods and fields appear to view In fancy's raptured dream; Each hill and vale so well we knew,— With mountain, lake and stream; We gaze on old Atlantic’s breast, Her wavelets dance and shine; We see the ships so up and down As in the days of old lang syne. We think of friends so good and true— Sweet face and kindly eye; Remembered well forevermore— Our fancy brings them nigh. The church, the school, the childhood sports To snare our love combine: Our pulses thrill with longing sweet For days of old lang syne. Though care and trouble crease the brow, And age bedim the eye; Though anguish wring the patient heart And lips breathe sorrow's sigh; Forever and for aye we'll speak Proud words for dear old Maine; We'll pledge our truth to ne’er forget The days of old lang syne. Daughters and sons of far Down East, From youth to life’s decline. In loyal sympathy repeat Our love fur “Auld Lang Syne!” —Granville Fernald. Old York will celebrate its 250th birthday, tomorrow. Bath learns that even a water carni val depends on dry weather to be an entire success. The Rockland Opinion points with pride to the fact that it did not cost hundreds of dollars, as was expected, to repair the court house lawn after the Bryan meeting there. The Maine bound trains, are heavily loaded, these days, and the August travel promises to be a record breaker. The August moon made its debut, yesterday. It is destined to see many interesting things along the shore be fore it wanes, and inland, too, for that matter. Boston Herald: Manje is said to be waiting with open doors and a slightly reduced scale of prices for the great army of summer visitors that has been delayed by unfavorable weather. A fortnight of sweltering weather would mean many thousands of dollars to the people of the Pine Tree State. Some of the Farmington people do not exactly like it that their soldier boys are ordered to start on Sunday for their across country march to the Au gusta muster field. One or two editors have attempted to have a little fun with Holman F. Day over some alleged inaccuracies I and anachronisms in his ‘‘Day’s Work of a New England Farmer" in Every body's magazine for August. The numerous other Maine electric railroad projects are eclipsed by the scheme for a 1*0 mile road from Bidde ford up through York. Cumberland and Oxford counties to the tail timber of the upper New Hampshire border. Real, genuine enjoyment is to be had not solely among the fashionables at the big Maine summer resorts. The campers at the small inland waters manage to get considerable pleasure out of a progressive whist party now .and then without all the “fuss and feathers” attendant upon more pre tentious affairs of this kind either at home or at the swell resorts. Are there or are there not brown tail moths in Portland? It all depends on what paper you read. One "exclusive ly" discovers them, and another “ex clusively” announces that the sus picious visitors are only ordinary caterpillars, and few in number at that. Everybody will hope that the latter paper is right. Outside work on the Hubbard Li brary at Bowdoin is nearly finished. The tower is completed and the chim neys are nearly finished. About all that remains to be done is the slating on the roof. The building is a hand some and imposing structure and com pletes the quadrangle. The great square tower with its battlements Is one of the finest things in Maine architecture, ^owdoin is not sur passed by any college anywhere in the beauty of its buildings and grounds. Many visitors from the seashore re sorts and neighboring towns come daily to see the grounds and to go through the Art building which is open from 10 to 12 and half past one to 4 every day. W. D. Howells is spending the sum mer in his home at Kittery Point, Maine. This is said to be an in dubitable fact. And yet the London Sphere appears with this announce ment: ‘‘Mr. Henry James has at thi3 moment an equally distinguished guest in his fellow novelist, Mr. W. D. Howells. There are few American writers more honored in England than Mr. Howells: we read his novels and we read his criticism, and we all hone that he will have a thoroughly good time on our shores.” The question arises. "Has Mr. Howells a double?" If so. it would be interesting to know whether Mr. Howells finds him a nui sance or a convenience. Some one wrote a story not so very long ago m which a man employed a double very much as most men do a secretary. Not only in Ellsworth are moose and deer growing so bold, but all over Han cock county. K. K. Thompson, keeper of the Mt. Desert toll bridge, thinks of petitioning the game commission for the toll on the Mt. Desert bridge as the animals have begun using it as a thor oughfare. One morning this week the man who was taking toll heard the footfalls of what he supposed was a horse, trotting on the bridge. He heard no vehicle but supposed that the vehicle must be fitted with rubber tires and started from the house to collect the toll. Great was his aston ishment when he reached the gate to I meet, instead of a team, the largest _ buck deer that he had ever seen. The buck didn’t stop to have him open the gate but bounded over and followed the thoroughfare on Mt. Desert island, e\ idently bound for Bar Harbor to spend his vacation. Dr. F. W. Huntington, cattle in spector at Portland, has just made out his report for the month of July. He finds that during the month closing today there have been shipped from this port 2591 head of cattle and 1794 head of sheep. For the month of July, 1901, there were shipped from this port 1851 cattle and 1085 sheep. This means that there has been a gain for the past month over the same month last year in cattle shipments of 740 head of cattle and 709 head of sheep, ail in one month. The gains for the other summer months beginning with May are in like proportion. Here is another proof of the commercial rise of Port land as an export center. Not only has the city gained over Boston and her other competitors in the export of grain, perishables, and other goods_but it is now seen that whereas 'other cities have lost in their shipments of cattle, Portland has not only gained in this class of exports but it has almost doubled that shipment. In spite of these most eloquent figures however we still hear people talking about the falling off of shipments from that city. A little investigation might do some of these chronic grumblers much good. VOICES OF THE PRESS, Veranda Weather. (Bangor Commercial). There aru some very satisfactory com pensations for the usual heat of mhl-sum mer. To be sure we have not yet been greatly oppressed by the torrid weather this season, but a few indications give us occasional touches of what may be ex pected before the season passes in the way of genuine veranda weather. And the veranda season is the one joy of sum mer. We do not now speak of days at the seashore or at Kineo or at some lake or mountain resort-^these pleasures are for the few. The business man occasionally gets a few days off at this time of the year, but even if he does there are so many days which must be spent at shop or office in the grind of business that he looks forward each day to one bright spot of solid enjoyment—the evening hour up on the veranda. The broad, wide, hospitable veranda, as large as a reception room and as free and joyous as all outdoors, with its de lightfully cool awning covering, or what is better, a real protected covering from the house into which it is built as a part of the modern residence, such a summer room is a modern institution most con ducive to familiarity and good cheer. There was a time in the old days of house building when no such necessary annex was thought of. Then came the plain .portico about the front door which af forded room for two or three chairs, fol lowed by the small, narrow, stitled piazza Upon which two persons could hardly pass without interference. But when the day of the modern veranda came, a new pleasure came to the outdoor life of the household. This roomy, inviting, entic ing, open-air parlor, so conducive to neighborly calls of the most informal na ture introduced a new and joyous exis tence for business men, for wife, for children, for visitors. What place so ap propriate in which to receive your even ing guest, what harbor of refuge so rest ful to a business man at close of day where he may read the newspaper, what boudoir so cool and easy in which my lady may gossip about her neighbors to a friend or read a new book, what place so jolly for the children to spend the last half hoar after a tired day at play belote going to their restful slumber halls when mamma says time is up—as this charm ing outdoor parlor? Moreover, the veranda life invites to little neighborly confidence which no win ter attachment of the house can possibly develop. You are somewhat bold to speak to your friend on the veranda as you pass, when it would appear discour teous to enter his house to say the same thing. You do not know him over much perhaps you have purchased something of him down town, or spoken to him iii his office where he is reserved—but here, it is altogether different. When he sits on his veranda he really invites you to say "good evening.” How the petty con ventionalities of life disappear with the coming of veranda weather. Formalitv is put aside and friendly amenities hol'd possession. Were it not for the joyous summer life of the veranda, what masks we should always wear, and what strang ers we should be to our next door neigh bor. The veranda life of summer makes it possible for us to form friendships which otherwise might not enter into our entire existence—for the better we get ac quainted with humanity in individual lives the more we find in humanity in general to admire and respect. The man whom we may have found dull in busi ness, is jolly unon his veranda—the place where his real life is Inventoried as h plays with his children and talks heartily with his guests. What joy there is tr child-life upon the summer veranda! What inspiration we get from the person of a beautiful woman upon the veranda at evening—and is there another place any where where she is so charming as when upon the half secluded, half open veranda on a summer evening, where all women are beautiful? The summer heat is needed to give beauty to the corn field, color to the crimson rambler, blush upon the cheek if the apple and fruitage to all the plants if the earth. But more than these, as the Intellectual life is higher and nobler than the things that perish with the using. Is that charm which it gives to personal intercourse, and the gracious amenities if social life as we find them In full and generous play among the inhabitants of our open-air palaces—the informal sum nter veranda. LIGHT AND AIRY. William J. “Bryan’s getting: to be quite a scold. Even if ho spoils his own chances for the Presidential nomination he's deter mined to say what he thinks about Cleveland.” "Yes. he seems to think it's better to berate than be President.” Boy-Like. Mrs. Poploy—Gracious! Why is Wiliie crying so? Mr. Popley—Oh. he wants the earth. Mrs. Popley—Wants the earth?

Personal Notes. The Prince of Wales, though a sailor by training, is very fond of horses and delights in riding to hounds. Mayor Jones, of Toledo, O., is a somewhat late but most zealous con vert to golf. He plays daily and is fast becoming an expert. Senator Hoar has always retained his liking for the classics. When the time is at his disposal, a day rarely passes without his reading many pages either of some Greek or Latin author. King Edward, according to a story going the rounds of the London clubs, said to one of his doctors, upon going upon his yacht: "William IV. was born a ‘sailor prince,’ it seems not un likely that I shall die one.” Alfred G. Vanderbilt is one of the most simple-mannered of millionaires. He dresses always in the quietest man ner and his whole manner of life shows the influence of the economic habits to which his father trained him. William Dean Howells is a tireless worker. Although now passing the summer in the country, he does not re lax from his usual work, whatever the temperature, but every morning writes at his new novel and each evening gives several hours to his journalistic (asks. J. Pierpont Morgan docs not, as has been so frequently stated, subscribe to a clipping bureau, but he always reads every day at least three leading news papers and has his secretary clip from several others all matter in which it is thought he might be especially inter AUGUST MAGAZINES. Scribner’s Magazine. It is impossible to describe the many attractive features of the 1902 Fiction Number of Scribner’s Maga zine. The many beautiful illustrations reproduced in colors, and the note worthy list of authors and illustrators all combine to place this number well at the head in magazine enterprise. Among the long list of artists repre sented are noted the following well known names: Howard Pyle, Howard Chandler Christy, Walter Appleton Clark, A. B. Frost, and F. C. Yohn.

The lover of good fiction will find an abundance of the same between the at tractive covers of the August Woman’s Home Companion. In addition to the fiction many special articles of interest are given and the household and fash ion departments present their usual quota of seasonable matter. Chief among the stories and articles given are noted: “How the World Will Knd,” Hudson Maxim; “A Bank Mys tery,” Robert Barr; “A Lake-Country Elopement," Lewis Pendleton; "A Chemical Comedy," Morgan Robert son: “The Folly of the Rutherfords,” Octave Thanet; “The Baby Parade at Asbury Park,” Haryot Holt Dey; “A Japanese-American Love Story,” Onoto Watanna; “Little Journeys to the Woods and Fields,” Ernest Harold Baynes: “A Hot Day in a Great City,” Rheta Child Dorr, and “Woven with the Ship," Cyrus Townsend Brady. The World’s Work for August shows the Republic at Play, and is an especially seasonable number. Upwards of one hundred half-tone illustrations add much to the reader's pleasure. Among the im portant contributions which are grouped under the head, “The People at Play,” are “The City as a Summer Resort.” “An American Forest Pre serve.” “A Tramp in the White Moun tains,” “One State and the ‘Summer People Industry,.A Commonwealth of Resorts.” "The Great North Woods,” “Along the St. Lawrence,” “Across the Canadian Border," "Fishing in Wis consin Lakes,” “A Vacation Trip from the Rockies to the Coast,” and “Pic turesque Islands off the Pacific Coast. Frederic Palmer contributes an interesting and handsomely illus trated paper on "West Point after a Century.” The editorial department, “The March of Events,” furnishes an admirable review of the leading af fairs of the day. Everybody’s Magazine. The August Everybody has among 4

other entertaining features, half a dozen clever short stories. They are: “Save in His Own Country,” Juliet Wilbor Tompkins; “The Honorable Betty,” Justus Miles Forman; “Love, Law and the Line,” Francis Dana; “A Deal in Wheat,” Frank Norris; “The Tenth Wave,” C. V. C. Matthews; and “The Struggles of the Outliers,” O. Henry.

Day; “Blade and Sheaf,” Martha McCulloch Williams; and "The Sheep Dog Trials at Troutbeck,” A. Radclyffe Dug more. Installments are given of the two serials. “Tangled up in Beulah Band.” and “Danny.” by. Alfred Olli vant. Other articles and much timely miscellany rounds out this pleasing number. Country Life in America for August presents many Buperb pic tures and notable articles on garden ing, birds and wild llowers, and vaca tion pastimes. All lovers of the beauti ful in nature, and who is not, cannot afford to overlook this artistic maga zine. William J. Long opens the num ber with a delightful paper on “The Kingfisher's Kindergarten.” It is profusely illustrated. Charles Moreau Harger describes “The Summer Prairies.” and the text is embellished by numerous photographs. “Polo, Ancient and Modern,” is discussed by Charles Quincy Turner. Other richly illustrated features of value are: “The Automobile in the Country,” J A. Kingman; “The External Aspect of the Home,” Clarence A.

Other arti :Ies deal with “The Redemption of the Low-Ground,” “The Back Yard Prob lem,” “Suggestions for the Vacation Seeker,” "Nature Study for the Stay it-Homes,” etc. McCall's Magazine. The first of the August magazines to leach this desk is McCall's, one of th test of the low-priced monthlies. An examination of this magazine cannct fail to make the reader wonder that so much can be given for the small sum of fifty cents a year. In addition to the admirable illustrated review of the current fashions which, as usual, is a leading feature, many articles of va ried interest are noted, including the following: “New York as a Fashion Center.” "The Girl Who Isn't Pretty. “Circus Animals,” "The Place and the Costume,” “Hints for Piazza Furnish ing,” “Outwitting a Tyrant,” and “Snap-shots at Celebrities.” Harper’s Bazar.

Jordan contribute two stories which will be read with keen interest. E. Nesbit's delightful story, “Tne Rod House,” continues to interest and entertain the many who are following the fortunes of its charming inmates. In “The Pass ing of Dora.” Margaret Deland dis cusses the girl of the past and present, and incidentally sounds a warning which many of the young women of today woujei do well to heed. Those who are planning trips to the seashore will be welcome in Bell L. Lewis’ ar ticle on “Collecting Sea Weeds an-' Ferns.” Several fashion articles, pro fusely illustrated, are also given, to gether with the regular departments and papers on household topics. A study of this splendid August number will convince feminine readers that the Bazar is unsurpassed as an all-around family magazine. The Smart Set. Many clever stories are to be found in the August Smart Set. together with a novelette, special articles, poems an.] much entertaining miscellaneous mat ler. Justus Miles Forman contributes the novelette, “Mon«dgnv,'' which opens the number. It is a tale of love, that ends happily for hero and heroine. To enumerate the titles of the many con tributions which crowd this number would require much space, but the fol lowing partial list of well known writ ers represented will give an idea of the value and interest of ibis number: Oliver Herford, Gertrude Atherton. Al lred Henry Lewis, Guy Wetmore Carry 1. Ethel Sigsbee, William J. Lampton. Clinton Scollard, Edwin L. Sabin. Theodosia Garrison, Elizabeth Ouer, Minna Irving, Frank Dempster Sherman, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Tom Masson. Success.

Waterville had a little practice, Satur day afternoon, ami admission was charg ed those who wished to see it and they didn't object much to the entertainment furnished. Newport sent a team down to help out and was defeated by a score of 15 to 1. The visitors made a nice, clean, snappy little team, but they were out of their class and helpless. Their one run was made by Davis, the very lirst man up, who started with a single and then scored on a wild throw by Cowing, who hadn't had time to get the kinks out of his throwing arm. Newport didn't make many errors as they didn't have many chances, most of the balls hit being out of reach entirely or easy ones to huddle. But thi y kept sawing wood and were in the game every minute no matter how it went and thus won the hearty good will of the crowd. Newton evidently forgot to bring along his throwing arm and bases were stolen with impunity right before his eyes. “Shorty** fairly wore a path down to sec oml on his stealing expeditions an 1 bugged live for the game. Phelan was not fur behind with four and the others had several. It was a great feed for hat ting averages and some of them almost collapsed from indigestion. O'Toole, the Newport second baseman, had the distinction of making two double [days unassisted. Uuckuam had to retire in the sovi nth on account of an injury to his knee, lie was after a fly when he stepped in a hole and wrenched the joint but he was out in the evening and will probably be in the next game all right.

No One Here Has Identified Body Found in Clinton. The idntity of the in:in who was found dead beside the traek in Clinton, Saturday morning, was much discussed h(>re, Saturday and Sunday, the inter est being aroused by the fact that it was tirst reported that ho had fallen from the special fire train that was run from here to Burnham, Friday night. Those who v et-'on that train were in dined to accept this with considerable salt from the start. The run up was made in something like 18 minutes, a distance of 14 miles, and some of the best time was made along througli Clinton. If any one had fallen from the train there on the high hank by the culvert it would certainly seem as if he would have landed over in the field somew here instead of dose to the rails, i No one was missed from the crowd on the train during the trip up or back. No one but firemen and only a few of them was allowed on the fiat cars while the others were either in the box ear or in the caboose. Those in the caboose i saw no one on the platforms either go ing up or coming down as it was not exactly a pleasant place to ride after ihe throttle began to move outward. The doors of the box car were closed during the trip up and back. No on" was missed at all and it certainly j seems as if any one had fallen off some one must have seen him at the time and given the alarm. The run back was nearly as fast as that up and few cared to be outside unless obliged to either way and there was nothing to keep them there. City Marshal Farrington went up to Clinton, Saturday, but was unable to identify the body, although the face seemed somewhat familiar tc him. The description given applied pretty well to a young man in Oakland, but it was learned, Sunday, that there was little reason to think that it was he. He has been working on a farm near the city and his relatives intended to learn it he was there and to let Marshal Far rington know if he was not. As he has heard nothing the marshal believes they found him all right. There haVe been many rumors about this one and that one being missing, but none of them have been based on good grounds. Coroner Snell is of the opinion that the man was a tramp working his way west and bases this on the fact that he found soap, a calen dar and a comb in the dead man's pockets, things usually carried by the hobo. Ho far us could be learned, yes terday, the man did not belong here in the city. Baseball, This Week. Things will be coming the way of the local enthusiasts in baseball, this week. According to the schedule Waterville and Belfast will open the week with a game on the college field, this after noon. Belfast will then go to Fairfield for a game, Tuesday afternoon, and thence home to play Fairfield there, Wednesday. Waterville will go to Fail-field, Thursday, for a game with the olu rivals, and Fairfield ougfht to be due for a win about that time. Wa terville will be in Belfast, Friday, re turning, Saturday morning, for a game with Fairfield on the college field, Sat urday afternoon. This will suit the cranks to a nicety. A large number can only get away for a game on Saturday afternoons and most everyone would rather see a game with Fairfield than any other team. The league games are fast and hot and are giving good satisfaction and re ceiving fine support. Night Owls vs. Grocery Clerks. Tiie Grocery Clerks’ ball team has accepted the challenge of the M. C. It. It. Night Owls for a game for the ben efit of the Waterville team and it will be played on the college field, Tuesday afternoon. The Clerks have defeated a team called the Lulus l>y a close margin and are pleased with the oppor tunity of taking another scalp. The Owls will be made up from the men who work about the station nights and rumor har it that they have been seen practicing by starlight. At any rate it is no secret that they have been on the diamond in broad daylight and have thus demonstrated their ability to see a ball by sunlight. The game will be called at 3 o’clock sharp and the usual admission will be c'ha rged. FAIRFIELD. Fairfield was really deserted, Sun day, everyone having gone to Good Will to the assembly. Mrs. Herbert Brown, who has been spending the past two weeks with friends at Sebec lake, has arrived home. K. P. Mayo and family left, Satur day, for China, where they will spend a few weeks at their cottage. Mrs. Henry Kelley and daughter Lil lian. who have been visiting relatives in Uocklund for the past two weeks, have returned home. It is strange that the Fairfield ball team still continues to beat the Bcl fasts, but their luck nearer home does not seem to change any. The Iladfield Stock Co. will open an en gagement at Fairfield Opera house, to night. This company recently played at Waterville and gave much satisfaction. Miss Antoinette Fuller, who has been spending the past two weeks in town, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Jewett Pratt, left. Sunday, for her home in Boston. John E. Cotton of Nashua, N. II., senior member of the Maine Manufacturing Co. of that city, and a former resident of this place, is in town for a short stay witli friends. There were no services at the Bap tist or Univcrsalist churches, Sunday, both being closed for vacation. Ser vices will probably be resumed at the Baptist church, Sunday night. William Grit, the efficient cli rk at Law ry Bros., has just returned from a vara lion trip of a few days in Massachusetts. Among other places he visited in Lynn and stopped a few days at Revere Beacn. Miss Kate Hudson, who has been in New York for the past year, is in town foi a visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Hudson. Miss Hudson was for merly connected with the art depart ment of the Boston Herald. She is now engaged in the same line of work for the Butteriek Pattern Co. She has been very successful in her chosen oc cupation. Miss Nellie Howe entertained a number of her friends at her home here Saturday evening, it being the occasion of her birthday anniversary. Games were enjoyed until a late hour and re freshments of ice cream and cake were served during the evening. Before the guests departed they left behind them a handsome brooch as a token of their esteem and good will. SAME OLD STORY. Fairfield Trims Belfast Once More by Score of 5 to 3. Did it again, by gravey! Walloped Belfast to the tune of 5 to 3, Satur day afternoon, and found it easier work than haying at that. If Fairfield's hoodoo is a little yellow dog that of Belfast must be black dogs, for three of them crossed the diamond during the game. The visitors made morj hits and less errors than the home team but the iatter made what hits they did get count for all they were worth and no very costly errors were made. The feature of the game was the work of Taylor in left garden for Fair field. He got five good ones out his way and three of them were tough propositions.'' The first one was an i especially handsome catch and got the SOLD BY Locke Hewett, Fuller Webber, Geo. D. Haskell, Merrill Bros., Geo. W, Wadleigh, AUGUSTA. F. M. Noyes, J. E. Cunningham, Wm. M.

LEADING GROCERS. glad hand from everyone. None of the five were at all easy and were all gathered in very gracefully. Left field seems to be Taylor’s special territory and he is certainly travelling at a very hot pace out there now. Logan started the game for the vis itors, but retired at the close of the second inning, as he was somewhat wild and ineffective. Doherty replaced him and did very good work, although Fairfield found him semi-occasionally-. Fairfield got the jump at the start, taking three runs in the very- first inning. Taylor was the first man up and was hit by the ball. A putout advanced him to second and he stole third, scoring on a wild pitch. Con nors was out, Logan to Cassidy. Smith took a single, and stole second. Mc Govern ffit'd out to Doherty. Allen put out a hot one to left, scoring Smith. An attempted out put him on second, an error by Duckworth on third, and a hit by Russell, who fol lowed him. put him over the plate. McHugh was cared for by Logan and Cassidy, closing the inning. Fairfield drew blanks for the next three innings, hut made one in the fourth. The first two men up were out, but Taylor, the third, drew a walk and stole second. Then Connors drove it to left for two "ticks and scored Taylor. McGovern, first up in (he sixth, circled the cor nets, taking first on a walk, second on a passed ball and third and home on a nice single by Russell. Russell’s two singles thus both brought in tuns. The bulk of Fairfield's hits were ef fective, in fact, and came just when needed. Blanks were turned again in the seventh and eighth. Cassidy got the fiist run for the visitors in the first inning, starting it with a double and scoring on some ineffective throwing. Another double hv Ring with tin error by McHugh made the second in the third. The third and last was made by Duckworth in the fifth, a single putting him on first and a wild throw by Smith pass ing him along for the remainder ot the distance. This game fattens Fairfield's aver age in the league standing and gives her a good hold on second place. The team started at the top. dropped to the bottom and is now on its way up, being just 250 points behind Water ville. Belfast will have another try at Waterville on the college field, this afternoon. The following is the sior>. of Saturday's game and the league standing: FAIRFIELD. ah. r. lih. th. po. a. c Taylor.
