SEWALL. ‘-*1-. Oen’l. Manager CENTRAL MAINE FAIR. M. F. Bartlett, Waterville, Elected Presidents. R. Fuller, Oakland, Treasurer-Papers Read. The annual merlins and election of officers ot the directions of the Central Maine Fair Association was held Sat urday in the council rooms at the City building. A large number of directors and also premium winners were in at tendance and listened throughout the day to the various addresses given by prominent speakers from all parts of the State. All proved to be of an inter esting nature and were beneficial to all those in attendance. The meeting was called to order by President K. P. Mayo at 10.30 A. M. Prayer was offered by Rev. C. E. Owen of this city. The records of the last business meeting were read by Score-j tary George R. Fuller of Oakland and I accepted. j President E. I*. Mayo, who has been the chief executive for the past four yeai s and who has so faithfully served in tii.it capacity, delivered an address in which he tendered his resignation and spoke of the needs of the coming year. Mr. Mayo said: i Radies and Gentlemen of the Central Maine Fair Association: Ones again in the cycle of time we are assembled in this beautiful build ing, where the Central Maine Fair Association iiad its birth four short years ago. Looking back over the struggle and victories that have been ours since we organized it seems as though an age had rolled away, but it was less than half a score of years ago that in this building we plighted our troth and set out to make agricultural history that should be read and known of all men. We certainly must have been Divinely guided, or else no such growth anil material advancement had been ours. On taking the presi dent's chair as your first presiding officer you may recall that I told you that the infant just born would be precisely what you made it. That your president was simply to do your bidding as presiding olficer over your deliberations, and that if the Fair ever became worth its name it must be a thing of your own creation. You will all, I am sure, recall how loyally and zealously you accepted the re sponsibility and today you may with commendable pride exclaim: "Behold I what we have wrought!" In laying down the rare and respon sibility that devolves upon your leader it is with no fear or solicitude of its future. No association can obtain such a start in life alone and unaided, without possessing enough of vitality and stability to compel it to go on, whether it would or not. Hut in this case the future is full of brightness and cheer. It never has lost a friend, but on the contrary is gaining them day by day. While it has had severe struggles it never has had a defeat, but has come up out of all struggles full of courage and covered with the laurels of victory. There have been great strides made along the line of agricultural fairs since we first opened our gates with fear and trembling. We seem to have been fortunate enough to keep just a little ahead of the procession all the while In fact we have adopted the motto of our beloved commonwealth and have veritably been the personifi cation of our State motto, “Dingo, r Direct." This has been so generally recognized that it is needless for me tc dwell upon it here. As to the llnances. the very clear and comprehensive report of our treasurer makes a very satisfactory showing. At the same time it reveals the crying need of a reform along the line of management of finances. The fair has come to be too big an undertaking to continue old-time methods longer. The fair costs more than it should on this account. Next year the new order of things should prevail, and the fair put into the hands of a few business men who will run it as they run their own business. It lias air*adv come to be entirely too large an affair for one man to handle or con trol. or to he tossed about by a town meeting gathering. It wants and demands Hie best attention or trained business heads, and I liope and trust that this Is what it will have In the‘Immediate future. By the same devotion and toil and per severance that you have succeeded in the past will you grow and expand in the fu ture. and you have many fold greater opportunity. The greatest advantage is probably in the additional acreage at your disposal and for your growth and expansion. The newly acquired territory makes it possi ble to “do things” that we hardly dared to dream of before, and some of the ways this newly acquired territory may he uti lized will be suggested by non e of the learned gentlemen who have, so kindly consented to address us today'. In brief It may be said that It is hardly possible to say what we may not do if we will in our enlarged area. One thing Is certain, and that Is the fair can be much better separated into de partments than it has ever been possible to do before, and tills is certainly a con summation to be most devoutly wished. Wldlo I do not care to trespass upon the province of the new board of officers you are to elect here today. I cannot lay down my role of office without expressing the idea that when the grounds are rearrang ed that the restaurants and eating tents shall be In a row by themselves: the ag ricultural exhibits In a section all by themselves, and the fakirs and shows also relegated to themselves. IVe have been so crowded for room that nothing of this sort lias been possible, but the reform in this direction need be delayed no longer. Other improvements equally as impera tive are too numerous to mention, but I shall take groat pleasure in giving my successor the benefit of my experience, and I feel certain that the suggestions will not only be seen to he practical, but will be acknowledged to be in the line of an imrroved and better fair, and at the same time reduce the expense very ma terially. W hen the fair was first project ed some believed in it. but many doubt ed. Today there are no questioners ex cept as to the size it may ultimately at tain. and how long it will be in getting there. Surely a most delightful situa tion! And now as I relinquish the office to which you have twice unanimously elect ed ine. permit me to hope and trust that we may one and all tender ta my suc cessor the same cordial support as you have ever given me. May we one and all labor as unitedly and loyally for the upbuilding and devel opment of this association in the future as we have in the past. Is the earnest prayer and devout wish of your retiring president. If it may he so, a kind and beneficent Providence that ever notes the sparrow’s fall will continue to sited the light of His countenance upon us, both its an associa tion and as individuals.

Blaisdell. treas urer 27O.B0 After the reading and acceptance of the treasurer’s report and in which Treasurer Blaisdell tendered iiis resig nalion. a committee of five was ap pointed i»y the chair to select the otii cers for the ensuing year. Those chos en as a committee were: G. F. Terry, It. H. Union, C. H. Simpson, S. P. Feiker and Mr. Morrill. While this committee was making their selection of officers. Holt. W. T. Haines was called upon and responded with brief speech, in which he paid a hif,h tiibute to the retiring president, K. P. Mayo. Tito committee then reported upon toe following officers: President, M. F. Bartlett, Wutorville; treasurer. George it. Fuller, Oakland; vice presidents for two years, Col. C. A. Leighton, Waterville; Dr. E. L. Jones, Waterville; Dr. F. C. Thayer, Waterville: S. P. Feiker, Clinton; Geo. A. Winnegar, Oakland; C. IS. Burleigh, Augusta; Horace Purington, VV'ater viile; E. C. Want well, Waterville. President M. F. Bartlett was then called upon and said in part: “It is with a great deal of reluet aney that I considered the matter at all, but with the assurance of friends and other officers that they would all assist, 1 was willing to accept the po sition fur a time. 1 would suggest that the other officers be instructed and be empowered to till all vacancies. The success of the fair has been wonder ful. it lias attracted the attention of the teople all over the Slate of Maine. We can make it a greater success.” A paper prepared by Paul E. Sar gent. highway commissioner, who was unnkie to lie present, was read by H. I,. Huntor, of Oakland. An abstract foilows: The paper discussed in a thorough as well as a capable manner the good roads question, telling the results of the experience gained by the government and pointing out the rapid advance ment made in this direction during recent years, saying that the people of Washington county prided themselves on having as good roads as could be found anywhere in the State. A careful compilation of the avail able information, it said, had shown the cost of ordinary country roads to be a quarter of a dollar per ton mile. Over improved roads he estimated the cost to be from one-fourth to one-third of this, or about seven cents. Although if all roads were brought up to a maxi mum of efficiency, so that one horse could do the work of four, or four horses do four times as much as they can at present, the paper did not believe this would lessen the demand for horses or the number used. “Better transportation facilities always bring out an increase of travel," he said, “and I am sure that improved high ways would increase rather than di minish ordinary wagon travel.” Mr. Sargent, in considering the first tiling to lie done to secure improvement in the highways of the rural districts said that an investigation of the con ditions as to roads in the Stat\ made in 1905. had disclosed the fact that only 9 per cent, of the roads of the State had been improved as to surface and that 91 per cent, were still surfaced with the natural earth of which they were constructed. By a process of segregation, he said, it had been learn ed that 7.6 per cent, of the total road mileage of the State was in the cities and the remainder in the rural dis Itricts. A larger percentage of the im proved roads is found in the cities than in tiie country. The cost of State roads dinin'- the past six years, the paper stated!’ had horn per mile and he d.M not think that the work was anv too good or that its cost had hcen oxccssiv*"1 The average annual expenditure f tiie smaller towns for roads he estimated at $20 per mile and regarded it as clearly apparent that tiie first thing to be done in order to secure improvement was to make e\ery dollar as far as possible. rl iiis could be done, he sug gested by keeping (lie number of men down to a mitnimum, hiring extra help when conditions made it imperative and discharging them as soon as they could he dispensed with. Another way suggested in the inter ests of economy w- expenditures .ii.st a little below the amount available and when enough liad been saved to make improvements In the worst places, where travel was greatest, until all the roads w'ere of standard construction. This system, it was pointed out, would mean that every mile o'f the State’s highways would be under the supervision and care of an experienced and competent man. Mr. Sargent also regarded it as of the utmost importance that all work should be done systematically. He also recommended dividing roads up into sections, the same as the railroads do. and w hen a force of men was not busy on one section transferring it to an other, ’bus keeping the highways con stantly in tlie hands of men trained to take care of them. One advantage of this system. Mr. Sargent said, would he that the men in charge of the sections would take pride in the high efficiency in which they would be kept and would each strive to do his utmost to produce and maintain a better road than his neigh bor, With the resnl that only honest effort and labor would be bestowed on [each section. In addition to this sucii a system would tend towards the oren I lion of a trained force of road build ers, who would be constantly learning the business of road building and thus eventually secure to the Stale the ad vantage of a large force of profession al highway workers. He predicted that I at some future time this would be the I method by w Inch tiie roads of the State would be built. Mr. Sargent spoke of the efficiency of tiie King split log drag, which, he said, had been the means of convert ing many miles of w-et and muddy road into good hard dirt road at all seasons of the year. He said the drag could lie constructed by anyone in three hours and that under favorable condi tions it could be operated as low as 50 cents per mile, although the cost may run to five or six times that amount. Attention was called to the fact that several Maine towns have used the drag with good effect. The first tliirg is to formulate some definite plan for operating highways and then give the execution of it over to some good man as a business, so that lie will be w illing to use whatever device is shown him for lessening labor and producing good results in his work. “It seems sometimes,” said the paper, “as though nad commissioners were not looking for labor saving devices, but for some means of furnishing as much labor as possible on the roads.” “In the final analysis,” it continued, "no one will doubt but that the first thing necessary to be done ir. order to bring about an improvement in the highways is to create a public senti ment which will demand highway im provement. Strange as It may seem, experience everywhere has shown that the only way to create that sentiment at large is by first building and main taining model sections of road, for the people to see and use. One section of good road in any community is the best possible argument that can be put forth for more and it invariably leads to a demand for more of the The paper said that it was well nigh impossible to build these samples of good roads without State aid, and that this point seemed to have been given due consideration by the leg islature as well as the other tact that highway taxes are from three to ten times as great in the rural towns as in the cities. It also said it was hop ed that under the stimulus of the new law a start on permanent work would he made in every town. Although on account of the lack of machinery standard stone road could ivt he freely built in the rural dis tricts. much other labor which goes toward the securing of good roads, could he performed. This work In cludes (he building of good gravel high ways, drainage and grading, workhiils out down and swamps raised and other work which would go far towards rais ing to a much higher standard the effi ciency of country roads. The paper continued: “Much has al ready l-cen accomplished under our present State road law. which has been in operation seven years. An increas ing number of towns has each year taker advantage of the law and this shows conclusively that the towns are willing to help themselves when proper inducements are offered. In man> towns since the advent of this law special appropriations have been made for the express purpose of reconstruct ing some bad section of the town roads lines similar to those pursued in I State r >ad work." In conclusion Mr. Sargent ascribed the reason of the high efficiency of the roads in France not to any superior ability or material possesse by the French jieonle. but to the fact that und. r the svstem in vogue in that country it is possible for anyone en gaged ii: road building as a profession to achieve professional advancement und distinction which no mere county, administration can offer. Fdgar F. Lenfest of Manchester was tiie" Winner of the $100 prize offered by George Fred Terry of this city, for the largest number of potatoes raised from a m-'asured acre. Mr. Lenfest ex plained before the meeting the manner in which he successfully raised the crop of potatoes, which was very in teresting. He congratulated the man agement upon the success of the fair, and its adurational value to the farm- At the close of the morning session it was announced that a dinner would he served at the Grand Army hall by the W. S. Heath Clrcie ladles. The din ner was largely attended and was a success. The afternon session opened at 1.30 o’clock with a short address by Prof. Austin Cary representing the depart l ment of forestry at Washington, who said that the design of this present work is to get the people of Maine, the farmers and other small owners of wood lots to lake more interest in the woods. He also spoke of the good cul ture of forestry, it. the sense of timber go wing and of the many advantages of the .Maine people. For the past two weeks Mr. Cary has hern in the region of fork anil Cum bcrlaiid counties. He lias lectured to the people of ill tiranges mainly and whatever time lie had h ft he passed going around with the men on their lands, picking up points that would be useful to him. The address was very interesting to those present showing the condition of tilings regarding for estry throughout the-state. Prof. Hunl of tile University of Maine was unable to be present at the meeting, blit sent two substitutes. Prof. K.accokcr and Prof. MeClenock, both of the university. Prof. P.aeceker is a professor of hor ticulture :md is a title speaker. He took for his subjpect “The Apple in Maine," speaking about the fruh development in the past years, saying that the real prosperity of the country was not be gun until it rested upon agriculture which at its best always remains at the same place. Apple is the king, wherever grow i. He spoke of the im portance of the apple crop and its rap idity in growth. "There is no state.” said the speak ei. "that can grow a bettor apple than tit" State of Maine and that of the highest quality. There is money in the production of apples, when every ef t'ort is put itito the business. There is no crop tout will give such large re turns as a well cared for orchard. "What the farmer needs today is a standard, which deals with the various grades of the apples. This is something that should lie taken up in every Orange throughout the State. The greatest trouble with our markets to day is that we have no standard. Ap ples not up in quality reduces the de mand for such. "'i Ids is an age of co-operation. All industries that co-operate prosper." J’r ii. McCletiock of the University of Maine, who had charge of the Maine Educational exhibit during the recent fair, spoke hrieily upon the educational advantages and said in part: "Tlie great trouble with our fairs of today is the making of horse racing and gambling the features. This was the fault to be found with the Central Maine fair. There should be more work done in the educational line, especially for children. Contests should be ar ranged in which they would become interested and if the children became interested it would not be long before the parents would take the equal amount. An experimental farm upon the fair ground would be a feature.” Several others delivered brief re marks among whom were Air. Grant of Fairfield, whore exhibits in honey rais ing were seen at the fair last season. Atr. Grant explained clearly the pro cess nt making honey and his words created much interest.

BASEBALL Changes In Rules Favored by Pres. Pulliam. Lower Pilcher’s Box—Hare Only Kine inning Games. Pres. Murphy of Cubs Thinks 18 Men Not Enough. Pittsburg, Pec. 1. -President Harry C. Pulliam of the National League passo'l lie- dav here Saturday as tic guest of Col. Barney Oreyfuss on hi: %vay back to New York Iron) Okla homa President Pulliam is hastening home to prepare for the annual winter meeting of the National League at tin Waldorf-Astoria Dec. I‘). President Pulliam favors tlie lower ing of the pi I e he. s bo: to the sain* level as the remainder of the diamond to improve batting. I’nder the present rule an elevation of la inches is al lowed. but this rule is violated in some cities, v/here there is an elevation of as much as 20 inches. Another matter which will ir* taken up will be that of placing o' post poned gators, ar.d of ihe length of games in double-headers. "There is absolutely no necessity of playing only seven innings in double-headers, un less one of the teams is compelled to rateh an early train. I think the league will decide that hereafter there shall he nothing but full nine-inning games played. In this connection 1 will also submit a plan that will pro vide for fixing systematically dates for postponed games, the new date being ect anil announced as soon as a post ponement takes place TRAINING TRIPS. White Sox as Yet Undecided—The Cubs Going to Texas. Chicago, Dec. 1.—The local major league leaders are already deeply in terested in the training trips of next spring, and little else is talked about ait baseball headquarters. The two icams, it lias practically been decided, will leave the city on March*, 5, but their destinations have not yet been decided upon. Several places are under consideration, however, and the only trouble will he to decide which tias the best advantages. For the White Sox, President Comis key is trying to make up his mind be tween Marlin Springs, Dallas and Fort Worth, Tex, and New Orleans. Tli" selection may depend upon the exhibi tion games itinerary, which will un doubtedly be an extensive one. Tile Fubs, it is believed, will start out at West Baden for a week prior to locat ing at some Southern point probably in Texas. Dallas is a possibility, but President .Murphy has not yet made up liis mind. It is virtually settled that the world’s champions will take part In an ante-season series of games, either with the Athletics or Cleveland at New Orleans MUGGSY WANTS TENNEY. Manager of Pirates Needs Him to Hold Down First Sack. New York, Dec. 1.—Manager Mc Graw has his lines pretty well laid out lor next season, and one of his pres ent plans is to secure l'red Tenney for lirst base. It lias been known for Rome time that MeGann has been slated for a trade, while, despite all the talk about the prowess of young Merkle, MeOraw wants a thoroughly seasoned man for the first station. And that man MeOraw believes is Tenney more than any other available player. Many here, however, regard it as ex tremely doubtful whether the Boston club would consent to such ft trade, certainly not unless the Giants offered considerably more than MeGann. Fans feel there is a. far better chance of Tenney eventually coming to New York on a three-cornered deal than that MeOraw put through any straight trade with Boston PRES. MURPHY DIFFERS With Dovey's Idea That 18 Men to a Club Is Enough. Chicago, Dec. 1.—President Charles TV ebb Murphy of the Cubs is opposed to George Dovey’s idea of major lea gue clubs limiting the number of men on their lists to 18 The Boston Na tional president lias expressed his in tention of bringing the matter before the organization at its next annual meeting. "1 am against tlie plan,” de clares Murphy. ”1 believe that 18 play ers on the reserve list are not enough. 1 do not, however, believe that a club should carry to or 50 men on its list. "Yet a minimum number could be set. below 25, for example. I want to be fair to the minor leagues, and think they should know earlier what men they are to lose.” 1*"' BASEBALL NOTES. Cincinnati was treated to a surpris* party Saturday, when Fivd Knowles the secretary of the New York Nation als, dropped in there, accompanied b> John J.

SPORTING NOTES, At a meeting of the Kentucky Rac ing Commission held at Lexington a, resolution aimed at the poolrooms w..s passed i,y a unanimous vote. Allie Brown of Lewiston was in Bath in behalf of young Dodo, a French wrestler, and issued a challenge for any person in New England at ltn pounds.

Joe tiotieed this by reason of the faet that lie would discover amher-col ored juice from chewing tobacco spat tered over llie lloor, and also that the paint on the walls was defaced in sev eral places. Joe fumed, but lie was unable to trace the culprits, mud one morning bo came into tile clubhouse somewhat before his usual hour, and found the elongated Mr. Hughes, the box artist, tilted back in a chair, with his feet up against the wail, while he was squirt ing tobacco juice a round like a geyser working overtime. This was the manager's chance, and he started in to road the riot act t" 'Join Hughes. Hut lie had unloaded only a few choice expletives whep Hughes arose, and with a sweep of his salary wing, h" cried out: “Look here, Joe Cantillon. there is only one person whom I will allow to talk to me like that.” “And who is that?” shrieked Joe, as his eyes sparkled. "Yourself,” sweetly replied Hughes, as no stepped out into the grounds, leaving Cantillon so tlnbhergasted by liis unexpected reply that Tom was over by the righl-iii Id seats before Joe had recovered. DOING WELL. Dave Fultz Tells His Father of His Progress at College. When Dave Fultz was playing ball a few years ago he was visited by a brother, who adored his his. handsome ball-olaying brother, and who was for ever telling about some instanet that had occurred when Dave was still gleaning knowledge from school hooks. thie of the older brother's stories dealt 'with the time that Dave was go ing to Brown University. It scents that the hig brother and the father had taken a little (lying trip n;> to see the inture ball player, and at this time Dave had made ihe position of fnUhaok on the 'Varsity football team. ihe two mid arrived in Providence just after Brown University had trimmed Amherst, and in eonseiitiem e I lie student body of the vietoidotis col lege were celebrating. Among ;i crowd of hefty eollege athletes who were whooping linings up a hit and who were singing college songs al Ihe ion of their Voices as •hey came 'Winging down \Va4.erman street. which leads into th» liniversiiv, was Davy Full/.. He caught sight of his kinsfolk just as they had descried his athk tie figure. Bushing up to his father and brother. Davy threw himself into their arms and began to tell them how gliul lie was to see them. When lie had exhausted himself in greetings his fattier asked Davy: "Aiid now, David, tell me how yon are yetting along in college.” “h. line." gleefully cried Davy. “Why. father." lie continued, "in tlie la.-l th»N-M football games 1 have kicked four field goals.” Because of excellent in athletics the Wellesley t'ollege Athletic Association today elected the following new heads of outdoor sports: .Miss Margaret- Bar low arciiey. Miss Virginia Coitlston basketball, Miss Madeline Piper tetnnis. Miss Keith Mills running. Miss Airline Burdick goil and Miss Irvina itrsoy hockey All these students are Mem bers of tiie present junior class, and they will assume liicir new duties •with tlu* resumption of outdoor sports ut the college next spring. Miss Barlow, lias won a "\V" from the athletic assneia tion for excellent in urcbery. .Miss Collision won one in basketball, and Miss Piper in tennis. The association reported that there are now ."s "Ws" held by seniors, l.i ijy juniors and eight by sophomores. The freshmen will not have an opportunity p, enter organiz ed sports until next spring. John 1. Taylor denies that Mohe Fer ris was traded, for being a shirker. He declares that Ferris lias outlived his usefulness in Boston and a change would be beneficial. This is true of many players in every team in the major leagues. There is no excep tion. Albert Shaw has been drafted liy the St. Bonis Cardinals from the Spring field Three I team. He was given a t.aai last fall in center field and showed up cleverly. ARTISTS AT IT, British Touts Gan Give Yankees Cards and Spades And Then Beat Them Out on Bucking the Turt Game. Don’t Like American Ways and Don’t Welcome Our Sports. About ;i half a dozen years ago nr more *i certain clique of American rac ing men, and representative racing men at tnat, h*‘(*amm enamored of the possihiliti* s of raring in Kngland, and they invaded that country witli American horses, American trainers, American j i;k«*ys, and American meth ods. I ‘heir welcome was not enthusiast ie, hut their presence was tolerated until their methods lagan to show results. Then there was uhnt is colloquially called in this country a “holler.'* They were weeded mu singly and in groups, until now tlnie ate a few horsemen raring oil tin* tight little isle who have gone ov* r from this country. i)anny Maher is tin* only exceptional jock y. And lr«»ni all accounts he has ingratiated hints-dl with tin- Britisher through the simple process of becoming a confirmed expatriate. Bichard Croker is tin* only exceptional horse owih r, and it is not necessary to re late how dearly In is beloved by tin* stewards and the members of the Jockey fdub. B is only necessary to say In* is not wanted at Newmarket, which is the cathedral of British rac ing. American racing methods were not fane ied in Kngland. Our sportsman ship was questioned. Our trainers wet*** considered too tricky, and the* horde of turf followers who went in their wake were considered to have an uidieallhtul influence on the sport. All of whit h may have been true. As a lit.tit• r of fact, divers and sundry Anieric m turf hustlers and bounders, whose pres* nee was: not considered an addition to social fabrics on American tracks, fastened themselves *111 the British gam* What tney did we nut know, i•>it with what tin y in re capable of doing we are quite familiar. We are willing j to grant their work must have n pretty coarse; their sin. —if they com-i mined tiny—were visited upon the r> pr.tahle American horsenc-n who went ra years ago and eamc to he regarded ns a pest over there fill years ago He used the same specious pleas for wheedling his clients and practically the sain terms in his advertisements. 'I lie American advertising tout with •i “system" to hc.at the races had his prototype in the Knglish advertising tout with a modus as far hack as lslil. Knglish idormers deplored the fact that racing was not loved for ilseir alone, hut as a convenient peg to hung a bet on. Quoting from an article printed at that time; “It may safely he asserted that among Londoners not one in fiiiii could mention the chief qualities a racer should possess; hut this goes for nothing, or perhaps it might lie said it goes for everything. It is each mans faith in the ignorance of his neighbor, and his high respect for his own sagacity and his ‘good luck,’ wherein resides tie secret of the horse-betting mania at the present time atllieting the nation.” That was written in I.ondon 60 years ago. How often have you heard it re peated since? The sporting prints of those days were regarded as mediums of com munication between the ignorant people win* stood in need of horsey, counsel and the knowing ones of the turf, who for an exceedingly trifling consideration were ever ready to give it. Tlte field cultivated iiv those know ing ones was as wide as the kingdom itself, and the methods they employed to lure fish to their n* ts were hold enough to make the most desperate turf buccaneer stand aghast. Their audacity was incalculably greater than that of the get-rieh-ipiick schemers who flourished for a time m the I’niled States. Their future hooks, called "specs,” were out-and-out lotteries. These “specs” were made on all the classic events. This fiature of race gambling eventually was suppressed. Then the advertising tipster stepped in and took the play. His promises were extrava gant. He publicly boasted of being in possession of the secrets of even thi st a tiles of the royal family. These secrets he was willing to impart to his clients in exchange for a paltry shill ing’s worth of postage stamps. The man with the modus evidently was no piker. Among the smaller fry of advertising; tipsters one was known sih “Stable Mous^,” another as "Ear wig," and another a.s "Spy in tip* Manger.” Certainly America has riot improved on those names.

Dee. 1 _Wil liam Jennings Divan received a warm welcome in many ways Friday when lie came lure on a double mission of Handing over to the city a marble foun tain, erected through a bequest in the ''ill of his friend, the late Philo s. Bennett and of addressing the Xew England progressive Democratic Lea gue at its annual banquet. The wel come was not a bit less hearty from the fact that lu* had many times spoken here and each of his four ad dresses were well received liy the au dience, which in total numbers went well into the thousands. In address ing the league at its business meeting, Air. Bryan expressed his great appre ciation of the work of tiie league and said he believed that the time is not far away when the members will meet to rejoice over the victory won and he hoped to be with them when they rejoiced. Mr. Dry a n sail the league’s name was a good nr, as it stood for action. In the Republican party there are the stand palters and the reformers. The former element is against progress. The reform element is the life of the organization and he said he had no doubt but that the reform element will "in within the party just as it has won in the Democratic party. Of the reform in tin- Democratic party, Mr. Bryan said that it was growing. He thought there v. as much hope for the Demo crats in the future. Policies which heretofore were called radical and j dangerous are now endorsed by those who formerly opposed them. The Pres- I ident is in part responsible for this, I Mr. Bryan said. He revealed the great reform element in his own party. In tiie next campaign, said Air. Bryan the Democratic platform will be progressive, definitely, positive and one the people can read and under stand. “We have had in the past.” he con tinued "platforms which read one way before election and another way after election. The people were betrayed. I Now there is an awakening of flic' consequence. We have not got to In- vent principles. Every situation can bo met by the old principles. Every thing the party stood fur has been vin dicated. Our principles as a party have been vindicated in a negative way at least by the party in power. The signs all point to a great support of these principles.” In the evening Air. Bryan spoke at Woolsey hall to Yale students and at the banquet of tiie league. I MRS.

Nothing that has occurred of late in political circles lias created more wide spread comment than the altercation between Senator Daniel of irginia anil William J. Bryan in the lobby of the New Willard Hotel at Washington Tuesday afternoon, i lie substance of the conversation that occurred between the two at this time is given by tin* Louisville Courier Journal. The senator said: I like you, Bryan, and I would rather agree with you than cat. hut I can't do it. I think you are making mistakes and I cannot support your theories.” This took tin* conversation back to the convention of ISllfi and Senator Daniel said: "Your trouble is that you arc making yourself bigger than you:* party. You want to dictate too muen what shall be in the platform, and you should not do it.” e "Then you did not approve of the platform in lX'IS?” asked Mr. Bryan. I certainly did not.” replied the Sen ator. I said then it would he fatal.” Well, I am glad to know that you didn't agree with it. for I had always supposed that as you were on tin* Plai I'oim Committee you had a hand in its making.” 1 was on the Platform Committee. 1ml it was under protest. iou stick tlmt silver plank in that platform and you dictated the making of the plat fonn in ltliiit. You have attempt*d too mill'll to dictate to the party and you are making a mistake in doing it. As I said. I like you personally, but 1 can’t a a tee with some of your ideas, and if you want to succeed you must I ti 11 riding rough-shod over till the members in the party." TI senator further intimated that Mr. Itiyan got miteh of liis Democracy flout Populistic sources. It was evident that this plain talk was far from palatable to candidate Uryan. A reporter of the Philadelphia I’ress, (ins cribing the same interview, says: Bryan’s face flushed crimson at ttiis rebuke and lie seemed aliout to make u heated reply Controlling liimself. however, lie merely remarked quietly: “Well, Senator, if the origin of my Democracy is to be the subject, perhaps we had better terminate this conversation." 'Chen the “peerless leader" strode majestically out into Pennsylvania a venue. This incident corroborates the state ment made io the Journal some weeks ago that the South is dissatisfied with Mi. Bryan's leadership and getting decidedly restive under it. No public man in the whole South stands higher with the people of that section, or ex erts a stronger influence among them than Senator Daniel. In speaking to Mr Bryan. as lie did. lie undoubtedly voiced the very general sentiment o| the South. II is from this section that the Democratic party secured all its electoral votes ill the last nationa eleetion, and to it must look for all il can hope |o secure in the next outsid* of (d.lahoina. indeed tile indication.' are that severs I of the Souther: Stales —notably Kentucky—that guv their votes to Judgr Parker will hi found next year In the Uepuhlieai column. It is because Southeri leaders fully recognize this probability that they are an\loirk to he rid of Mr lb yan’s hopeless and hurdensunit eatnlidaey. The great prohibition move is sweep ing over Canada. A large number o towns adopted “no license" at the las election. This requires a three lifth voie. if the Dominion par Hainan liasses a law giving a majority tit right to decide the question, a wel known Canadian leader expresses tin opinion that prohibition would toda: 1« the policy in three fourths of th towns in the Dominion.

The whole Union joins in caring for the graves of the Confederate dead equally with the graves where sleep the men who fought ■for the Unoin. The bine and the gray have long mingled in friendly reunions and rarely indeed in these later days dees tlie ghost of the old-time section alism come from its grave. But to pension Confi derate soldiers is quite another matter! The people of the South have paid their share id the pen sion money for Union veterans, not be cause they were once rebels, but be cause they are all now citizens of our minion country. It is just as in cumbent upon them to help support tin United s'tate.s pension system as if they hau inner worked to disrupt the I nioii. It is very ditlicult to believe Inal the Confederate veterans tliim soivs are behind Congressman Hobson in Ibis movement. Japan Will Attend to it.

There is great sport ahead for tl friends of Alton C. Parker if M Bryan gets the Democratic presidents nomination. Tliev liave not forgiitti [the thorough manner in which JuOj Parker's candidacy was United l>y Bryan and liis friends, ami they are all ready t" give the Nebraska leader their combined strength ilhout the same spot that the turkey got the ax. A society woman in France lias re cently made the statement that it is impossible for a woman to diess with elegance on less than SHO.tiOO a year. There arc a number of married men wlio know of ladies just as good as siie is who manage to dross very wolKm considerably less. The Washington Star says that Mr. Bryan declares that his encounter with Senator Daniei was a personal affair and not to be discussed. lie can scarcely have overlooked the fact that the episode lias caused the Southern newspapers to say some very pointed things concerning him. The indications are that a bewilder ing array of currency hills will be in tinduced at the present session of Con gress. They will be referred to the commitce on banking and currency, where most of them will sleep their last long sleep. A spirited light in the,Illinois Senate chamber between a member of that body and a representative, afforded ail unexpected entertainment to the law makers of that state, and one of which most of them were thoroughly ashamed. Mr. Bryan has not as yet announced his choice of a chairman of the Demo cratic national committee to succeed Tom Taggart. it tiie newspaper men could only have an opportunity to hear a con versation between Grover Cleveland what breezy reading it would make.

Franklin as well as Oxford w ill put thousands of barrels of good apples in to vinegar. Thousands of barrels of apples are still unpicked in Franklin county. Many apple growers found themselves iI liout barrels for the big crop. Frank Smith uf l.inrnln's Mill is one of the young farmers who seems (|uitc well satisfied with the product of his small farm the past season. He had no help save a few days uf planting and harvesting. On five acres he raised sou bushels of merchantable potatoes; from four acres of oats 111 bushels; he received $60 for sweet corn; sold $40 worth of apples front his orchard; from 4n liens since January lias sold $4:; worth of eggs. He also had the income from several cows and sheep. The good news that the Sanfoid mills would resume full time in prac tically all departments this tnorniny came as a Thanksgiving announcement to that village last Wednesday after noon. Tlie announcement was joyfully received and as it will affect over 1,001 employees it brightened the skies ir business in no small degree. While ii bail been announced that the mill; would resume full time within a montl it came as a surprise that they couli start Monday morning. During the present week Maim Christmas tree shippers will lie doing their biggest hustle. Practically al the trees which they will ship liavi been cut and are now at the railroai stations awaiting ears on which the; can be loaded. The hustling of then onto the cars and starting to marke will keep all hands busy. This i about the last week that it is possibl to ship trees and have them reach th market in time. It is estimated tha the value of trees shipped from Main this year will be nearly $40,000.

Turf Farm and Home: Here in another way to boom the Maine apple, light in line with the apple consumers league racket, and that is to get them on sale on the trains. How rarely it is you can find a really eatable apple on a railroad train, or even in a grocery store, or much of anywhere else except in a Maine farmer's cellar? What a market it would open up if some one would make a deal with Chisholm I trot hors, the well known newsdealer who control the tratlie on Maine railroad trains, to always have in stock itt tile starting out of each and every train, especially if it is a through train, where assengers get hungry and faint a goodly supply of fresh, crisp Maine apples! It might not take a great many barrels to supply tin- demand on I lie start, but if the duality was main tained and they came on to the train bright, clean and crisp at each run, the demand for them would take rare of itself in short order, and when once obtained would stay just as long as tile supply was regularly kept fresh unit toothsome.

(General Howard records that hoard in his day at Bowdoin ranged from 1 to 1.7.". a week, and that the total cost of his preparatory and college courses amounted to only $1,100. Immediately following his graduation from ltowdoin, young Howard was able, through iiis uncle, the Hon. John His, to secure an appointment as a cadet at West Point. Graduating from the Military Academy in ISf.J, he was made a Second Lieutenant in the Ordnance Department and assigned to duty at the Watervliet Arsenal in West Troy New York. He was married February 1 1, isr.li at Portland. Maine to Llizabcth Waite, tlie charming and cultivated lady who still presides over his household. Soon after his marriage Lieutenant Howard was made Commander of the I'nited States Arsenal Maine. His record of Ids very pleasant life at this post will lie of special interest to Journal readers. It is needless to say that he and his charming young wife at once became great social favorites at the .Maine Captiul. Writing of his life tit Au gusta during this period he says: Tiie father and mother of Captain Setli Williams opened their hospitality to the commander of the arsenal and his wife, and various other members of the Williams family gave us til ir fellowship and the entree into their homes. Tiie Fullers, the Lamberts (Allen and Thomas), the Morrills, the Childs, the Tapprtns, tiie Manleys, Governor Cony, and many others afforded aa entrance into society which has always been gratefully recalled by Mrs. Howard and myself. Here we first became acquainted with Ha- Rev. K. B. Webb. D. D. pastor of tiie Congregational church, who was perhaps Mr. Blaine's strong est friend, and, if I may say so, lie and his were even more intimate with my family ami always unselfishly devoted to my I test interests. We sometimes, while in Augusta, at Iended the Kpiscopal church. Rev. Mr. Armitage, then a young man. made a strong impression upon us. lie was an aide and efficient minister, who subsequently became the Bishop of Ohio. In Hie latter part of July IS.Vt. Lieutenant Howard was relieved of his command at the Kennebec Arsenal, and ordered hack to Watervliet. In Decem ber lie was ordered to tiie Department of Florida with headquarters at Fort Brooke. 1,’pon his arrival there lie was immediately assigned to ordnance duty at tiie Tampa depot. In August 1 sTiT Lieutenant Howard was assigned to duty as an instructor at West Point. Here he lived with Si is family until the outbreak of war. Ir the spring of 1SH1 lie wrote Governoi Washburn of Maine offering 'hi. services. "His reply," he says “win unfavorable." Commissioned officers of regiments were ail to lie elected by the men. He himself, had no power to choose. Bui the fact of the offer became known ai Augusta. Not long afterwards, about the middle of May, a dispatch came t. just so. How I like the true ring. We will put down this rebellion in short order with this sort of soiril; eli, Blaine?” Thus Washburn ran on. (Continued On Page Eight.)

Unit- Irish folk who have been taught at home to bo proud of their Celtic lm age arc sometimes surprised on arriv ing in America at finding themselves the butt for childish wit. That was the fate which overtook "Kate Jordan," win. describes to r experience in the Book lovers Magazine. She was a little more than three year« old when htr family came from Dublin to Xi'tt York. Mucli to her amazement and chagrin, she gradually discovered that the precocious American children she played with were given to mocking all foreigners, but particularly the Irish. She did not realize for her comfort then, as she did later, that, like vast throngs of adults, they had only a sur face knowledge of the Irish, gained trout caricatures. A\ lien she began to go to school she said notiiing to any one about her nat ionality. It was the guilty seeret of her childish heart. She must have lost all traio of her Dublin accent, for no one found her out. But at last a black day of discovery overtook her. A geography lesson was the immed iate cause. In illustrating it. the teach er ailed on each child to point out his or her birthplace on the map Nearly all were Americans, but there were some Knclisn am! one or two French, but not another Celt. The little Irish gill hoped against hope that she might be skipped, but she was not. Kitty rose, swallowing hard and feel ing ghastly. She was afraid in claim any particular country, lost questioning bring her downfall, and yet in her fear nj the discomfort which would follow a disclosure of the truth, she determined to lie about it. "I was born on the high seas." she sai l, in a taint voir". Tlte teacher became enthusiastic. •‘How interesting!" slue exclaimed. "A little girl almost without a country? But tlie flag under which the ship sail ed proclaims your fatherland, t the flag of what country did you sail. Now listen, cliildn n. for this is very in teresting." I;v this tiiiio thirty odd pairs of eyes were lived upon Kitty, and if rlie had any vague idc i or finally taking refuge in the truth, it was frightened out ot Iter.

Trees properly grown and cared for from their first season will require very lit tle pruning. The best orehardists never use a knife or saw. but brush off with the hand every undesirable twig as soon as it makes its appearance. In this way all of the energy stored by the tr*V is used for the development of foliage and fruit. Dust Bath Important. Tim dust-bath is one of the important I adjuncts of the poultry yard or chick en-house. It permits the fowls to clean themselves of lice. The dust should always be dry, and, if ashes are substituted, especial care is necessary on this score. Road dust Is best, how ever, and it is well to harvest a crop 1 of it in the dry months of the summer to last through the winter.

Very early the city was astir; scon it wa out of doors. The dresses of women and children furnished every variety of coloring, and little by little the peo ple grouped themselves tilling tie slope to the Ki-nnehe-e river. Jlright hut toned uniforms were notieeabli among them. The groups, varying ir size, were in gardens, on hillsides, am] uno-i porches, front steps, balconies and all convenient housetops.

Mer rill; lL’mo.; cloth, till pages. Price SI..10. lioslon: Lutin'ip, L>'Shep ard Co. In this volume Mr. Munu has given his readt is one of the most vivid pic tures of the old-time New Knglnnd farm boy and farm life, that lias ever appeared in print. To those at all familiar with the conditions tlfat pre vailed forty years ago, and which, to a modified degree, exist today in the rural sections of Xcw Knglnnd, this story will appeal by ils simplicity, its directness, its sympathetic insight, and its absolute fidelity to truth. Only he who had passed his younger years an.id such environments, and felt the subtle charm of their influences mak ing strongly, though often uncon sciously, for strong, vigorous, indus trious, self-reliant manhood could have written such a book. Life on the old farm was too rich in daily tasks to ad mit of loneliness. It was rich in the homely philosophy of self-help, and developed sane and conservative meth ods of thinking. God is very near, where the bleak, and snow clad hills covered often with forest growths, shut oft the horizon, and leaves it to the imagination to conjecture what may lie beyond. Strong characters, original, forceful and full of the milk of human kindness are always found in Kiirh comrnunilics, mid tlm young who s» forth from them are writ forti li' (I to buffet with the world, and win th.dr way to the trout ranks of its succensful citizens. Mr. Mutin has given 11s a typical farm hoy in y the great currents of life that tidied and (lowed beyond the lulls. Its characters were typical. There was "(.'catty (hid,” who had for years been kept by liis family in a barred room; there was Old Ilenus, a home-spun philosopher, living in close touch with Nature and interpreting in his own inimitable way her passing moods and fancies; there was super stitious old Aunt Uitty, whose very presence seemed to exhale an atmos phere of ghosts and goblins; there were also the various other characters that were always to be found in the old days in any New Kngland rural town. All are there. Mr. Munn was personally acquainted with each and every one of them, and has given them with absolute accuracy and with a keen and sympathetic appreciation of ali their individual traits and charac teristics. Country tasks and country joys are set forth with a graphic skill that will bring them back to one who lias ever experienced them like a dream ot days gone by. The lishing. the trapping, the excitements of town meeting day, the sugar orchard, the swimming la-le, 1 lie first gun, the dis trict school, and the bewildering glories of circus day, are all set forth with the skill of an artist who knows well his subject. It is a brink that fills and im portant place in current literature, by giving us, while yet. images are clear and memories green, a picture of the old-time, in those New England rural towns whose best crop was men and women, and from which they passed on beyond the bills to become leaders in ail departments of human thought and material progress. Our country owes a great and enduring debt of gratitude to its “Oakhams.” The Nether Millstone, by Fred M. White, author of "The Slave of Silence” "The Crimson Blind,” etc.; Illustrated; cloth; pp price $1.50; Boston. Little, Brown Co. Mr. White lias shown himself a past master in the art of tolling an inter esting and entertaining story. His fiction is characterized by originality of plot, abundance of incident, rapid movement in the narrative and ex ceptionally strong and vivid eharactei delin'ation. 111 "The Nether Mill stone” he is at his best. It is a story that will hold the attention of the reader with absorbing interest from start to finish. The events which it narrates take place at Dashwood Hall, a line old English mansion, and abounds in the unexpected turns and exciting incidents that combine to make a strong and fascinating story. It is a book that should add very much to the already well established reputa tion of the author. Tli” i.uckaw auras at Moosehead. 1>> C.

The writer must have personally lived amid the scenes, tint! he so vivid ly portrays and feit the subtle magic of tleir charm, llis descriptions tire both graphic and accurate, and it is evident that lie i not only well a— quainted v ith the ".Monscboad lake region," but that be is also a lover of its rugged beauties and pictures "to de lights, with the heart of a true sports man. and the soul of an artist. The amount of practical woods lore which tin: author imparts in this story, gives it u distinct and positive value from an educational standpoint, and yet so skillfully is the information in terwoven with the movement of the nar rative, so natural is its development that it nowhere carries the Slightest suggestion of pedantry. The .dory abounds in exciting inci dent. and fan of the best kind. Tlie tone of the story is pure and stimulat ing. There are no mollycoddles among the characters. They aro hearty, healthy and altogether genuine. They abound in the spirit of good fellowship, and have no fears of the strenuous life. Their hunti. g experiences, their exchange of practical jokes with another party of college caii’pers. their merry camp fire stories, and their capture of two notor ious pouentrs, all combined to make up a rare story of sustained and fascinat ing interest. Admiral's I.ight, by Henry Milner Hideout, with illustrations, cloth: Price $1.50 Boston.Houghton. Mifflin and Company. The work of this gifted author, a for mer resident of Calais, Maine, is at tracting wide attention by its freshness and vigor, ns well as the graphic strength of his pictures of life along the rugged coast of Maine and New Brunswick. Tn this, hi-, latest v.ork of fiction, Mr. Hideout Is at his lies:, u j„ i'larining story admirably told.

A Six-Cylinder Courtship, by Edward Salisbury Field, frontispiece by Harri son Fisher, illustrations by Clarence K. Underwood, cloth; pp. ICO. New York: The John McBride Company. Perhaps it’s the soil; perhaps it’s the air; but at all events Indiana has pro duced more successful authors than any one state. First it was Charles Major with his “When Knighthood Was in Flower,” then Booth Tarking ton with his “Monsieur Beauc-air.” This was followed with Meredith Nicholson and his “House of a Thousand Candles.” and now comes Edward Sal isbury’ Field with his “Six Cylinder Courtship.” He is probably the young est entry for the six best selling stakes. Mr. Field was born in Indianapolis; lie was raised there, he went to school then. He has traveled all over Kmope in a big six-cylinder car, and it was while spending last spring on the Ttiviera, in company with his cousin Lloyd Osborne, that he laid the pl it of his “Six Cylinder Courtship." Mr. Field has spent so much of his thne in France, that lie has adopted the Frem I; motto of “While I have life I intend to live it.” This same idea is carried through his hook. Ilis story simply spniklos. huhblrs, and ef fort--sees with the joy of living, ami although Mr. Field lias still to see his thirtieth birthday, lie has caught in his stories the idea of grabbing his reader with a rush and carrying hint into the plot without any prelimi naries.

FIRE ON MILL STREET Calls Out Department Sunday Even ing—Loss About $500. An alarm of fire was sounded from Box 39 at 8.01 Sunday night, due to a brisk blaze in the house owned by Ed ward Laliberte and occupied by Odilion Blanchette, corner of Northern ave nue and Mill streets. The “all out” was blown at S.4 5. The lire originated from a stove in an upper room of the house, sparks or coals setting some inflammable ma terial about the stov»* on fire. The lire was discovered by the children on their way to bed. about S o'clock and the alarm was sent in by Mr. Blanchette. The damage to the furniture was small, and is covered by insurance in the Downing agency. The estimated loss on the house and contents is about $500. The loss on the house is also covered by insurance. By the *time the firemen arrived the fire had gain'd considerable headway and the flames were bursting through the roof hut several lines of host* were uuickly laid and water was soon at work on the flames. Eight chemicals were used on the interior and with the combined aid of these and tin* wa ter tin* blaze was soon under subjec tion. After the tire investigation showed that the woodwork about the stove and some of the lathing had been burned, much plaster had been torn down and a good sized hole burned through, the roof. The streets were tilled with people and many thought that the fire was in the Ed wards mills because of the locution of the alarm. The Buckley Opening. Ti e opening of the new furniture store of Thomas C\ Buckley on Satmday las* was a grand success in every sense of tin* word.

When 'Vi; returned to our lodgings on Moltke Strusse on the second day of our slay in Leipzig, we were abruptly! greeted by our fruits who informed br utal we must go to tile police station. Then seeing that we were very much exciti il over that statement, Frau Kirschn-r brought forth Herr Kuhn, a German who could speak a little Eng lish and tin Kitglisli colonist from Australia, who could utter a few words of Gorman. These two a! hist made us understand that it was necessary for till stiangers to apply for a permit which entitled them to remain in the ejry. So off we till started for the 1’olizei. Reaching the station the oifieer in charge gave his message to Herr Seiferth who passed it on to Herr Kulm, who delivered it in turn to the Englishman who told us that we must show our pass-ports. We had hone and diil not wish to procure any, as Germany was the only place where we would need them, hut we would un doubtedly have hot it obliged to have applied for some had il not been for the indefatigable efforts of fieri Keifcrth. who started out one morning armed with till our introductory letters. We never found out what lie said ti the Leipzig authorities, hut he won their consent to grant ns a three marl; certificate whirl) stated that we coni 1 remain at number 111 .Moltke Strasse its long as we wished. The next day llcrr Kuhn met us on the stairway and said "Frau Kirscltia r hat einen Gebnrtstag." lie looked so serious we did not know whether to console him or not I nit we ventured on a mild I'm sorry.” when he became frantic in his endeavor t explain that Geburtstiig meant birthday and that we ought to congratulate her. So he gave its the necessary formula. Even with his help we hail hard work l make Frau Kirsclmer understand what W'i wished to say. That evening there was much merry making. and from my friend s room we heard for the tirst time “Die Lorelei" sung by those fresh young voices and accompanied by Herr Kuhn's violin. Il is "Die Lorelei that Is considered by some to he the national song of Germany. One morning after one of those fruit less trips to the I’olizei we lied to the woods around Leipzig for consolation. As Germany is a country where much attention is paid to the science of forestry, the German woods me majestic and stately, though their un ceasing regularity becomes a little wearisome. We missed tbe evergreens lhat make our own woods so beautiful, and the tints and glows of our gorgeous autumnal New England are never seen in Germany. There in the woods as well as in Leipzig, we saw what we supposed lie ditches or canals, and we were very much surprised to find that they were called rivers. Heine in his Hart/. Reise says “the German rivers are so large that a man has to run unite a ways be fore lie is able to jump across them Even in the woods every thing >s systematically ari tinged. The nurse girl with the baity carriage must keep to certain paths, men and children have special benches where* n they mav sit. and a portion of the woods is set apart as a playground for the children. We did not dare to .-it down until we came to a seat that was not marked as being set apart for any body, then we remained sometime watching the peasants rake hay, whtli a soft haze shimmered over all. ant the river at our feet imperfect l> reflected the over-hanging trees ar.c the pale blue ski’. As tin’ paths all resembled filch other j we gut lost in that net-work of avenues i iitnl went several miles out of our way so that we were tired when at length we reach) r do they appear at any other season of the year. We wished to get some later but the children said that we would have to wait another year before we could buy any of them. That day October thirty-first is the anniversary of the day when he nailed the theses on the church door at Wittenlmrg in fifteen hundred and seventeen. In Leipzig the stores were alt closed and Fraulein Kirsehner in vited us to a Coffee-drinking in honor of the occasion She informed ns that lierr Kuhn would he there with his violin to furnish music.

For two weeks before lie i•ante in one could think or talk of anything else lint King George. Anxious its were tin- Germans to see a real lull., we went three hours before the time the king was expected to ar rive. Hut early its we were, there wore many ahead of us. and some even had brought stepladders, and there ponde'd upon their reserved seats near tin* trimnpiial an h, they were waiting for their king. N -ver lia l we mixed with a crowd more jolty and more entertaining than tr.tit gathering of the Leipzig people. There were lads running about with strings of pretzels for sale, so to lie German with tin* Germans we bought some which were so hard that it was impossible to oat them. Then those red. white and black lings appealed to ns ro strongly that we each bought one to wave when the king passed. Still we waited, becoming so hungry that we bought a sausage sandwich, the only eatable tiling we could purchase in that place. As the hour approached, the crowd became more noi*iy sind less manage able. and although there were many imputed police, tile people paid no at tention whatsoever to them. When the policemen endeavored to restrain them they merely laughed in their faces and made jokes at the expense of these officers of the law. How they cheered and cheered King George before he came, but at the mo ment when lie appeared such a hushed siienco h II upon the crowd that we were deceived and turned away at tiir all-important moment. From tie way tit#* people dispersed, we thought that the king must have disappointed them, hut we found out that it was one way the Germans had to xpress their emotions. Vo make tip for that ttsless wait wf had had, we went to the Geuanilhau.* that evening, and outside the gate wi saw King George, :m old gray haired man, pass into the concert hall. I am afraid we were not much impressed b\ this first real/king that we saw. as It' did not seem different from any elder ly American gentlemen, but we did not regret the long wait we had as it enabled Its to become more intimaielj connected witli the German people.

Now r.nd again something is pub lished: the fair words are few, the coins fewer. f all the creatures that breathe and crawl upon the earth, the man of letters is most often chorused. His message falls on deaf ears; for him there arc few nights in Bagdad or days by the sea. For years lie lives front hand to mouth, the spirit of the gambler waxing and waxing in him. If at last bis lot leaps out of the rat tling urn. or. in the happy phrase of the vulgar, his message “makes a suc cess," and he is plastered with fair but irrelevant words, and the good red gold come* rolling in. what wonder that he displays a gambler’s prodigality?

It is the story of a man and a woman who marry after a long courtship, take a ride of twelve miles in a buggy from her tow.i to bis as a honeymoon, quar rel on the way and separate, the girl going back to her home in the village and the man to his home in the larger town. TheVause of the quarrel is a mystery and the rest of the book is a. very human, intimate, and humorous story of a second and unusual court ship. The story is remarkably well told. The announcement by Little, Brown Co. of a seventh printing of Eliza Calvert Hall's “Aunt .lane of Ken tucky" is now closely followed by the statement that uu eighth edition, also ol 1'1,000. is in press. Here Id Massey, dead in his SOtli y< ar, was a figure of consequence a generation ago. Born the son of a bargeman, says the New York Times Saturday Review, lie became a lyric poet, of very wide popularity, applaud ed and ticci pled as a friend by Buskin and other eminent Victorians. His ambition, howev r, was to win Im mortal fame as an abstruse prose writ er. and for the last 30 years lie had engaged himself in the study of his toric origins. His particular theme was northern Africa, which he con es ived to be tile seat o| the beginnings of human progress. Only two months ago cable dispatches brought Mr. Massey's announcement of the early publication of his final two-volume work. “Egypt, the Light of the World."

Myrick of this city has recently presented the Kennebec His torical Society a number of interest ing and valuable documents, taken for the most part from Fairfax county. Virginia. There are two copies of Southern newspapers in the lot, one the Richmond Whig of the year 18C5 and the other the Richmond Sentinel of about the same date. Roth are good examples of the journalism of that pe riod and contain many interesting ar ticles In the Sentinel appears a proc lamation of the President of the Con federate States and also the following item of interest to Maine people: ''The Maine Democratic convention has nominated Bion Bradbury for go\ei lior. They declare in favor of concilia tion, against emancipation, denounce Lincoln's administration, denounce the conscription act hut counsel obedience until the courts decide upon its con stitutionality, and if the Confederate States will come back they shall be welcomed with all their rights, digni ties. etc., etc." The collection also includes leaves front the register of deeds of Fairfax county, some of them dating back to the Georges, in 1730. There is one in denture in the collection conveying a piece of land from one John Simons t Owen Myrick of French George countv, of great age. Another paper is a deed dated 1792. the year of the death of President George Washing ton. Another interesting paper, stain ed with age, is a summons to appear at tile Fairfax court house on a certain day. All the papers are drawn in an cient style, the handwriting denoting in itself antiquity. Among other relics in this collection is a campaign badge nf the vintage of 1S32, the names Scott and Graham appearing on the silk. A beautiful gold mounted and em bossed cavalry sabre, with a gold wire belt, has also been placed in the cus tody of the Historical Society by Mrs. .Myrick. ELKS MEMORIAL SERVICE. Impressive Exercises Carried Out at Hall Sunday Afternoon. In common with the more than 1000 other lodges of Elks in the country. Augusta Lodge, No. 904, devoted the afternoon of the first Sunday in De cernber to memorial exercises for the members who have died. These are William P. Kenibbs, July 8. 1900, James E. Mcllroy, April 6, 1907, and Michael J. Coleman, June 30, 1907. There was a large gathering at the hall, 369V. Water street, and the In. prossive ritual for such services was carried out under the leadership of George VV. Merrill, the exalted ruler of the lodge. Special music was rendered by J. Frank Dyer, ('has. F. Bilodeau and Frank Bilodeau with Stanley K. Hawkins as organist. The memorial address was then de livered by John Clair Minot, who spoke for about half an hour upon the sig nificance of the occasion and upon the lives of the deceased brothers. The larger part of Mr. Minot s address was a discussion of the universal hope of immortality as based upon the inner consciousness of the individual, the revelations of science in the story of evolution, and the promise made by Nature in her processes. The clos ing words were these: "With our finite understanding, there is much wc can not comprehend. With our mortal eyes, there is much we cannot see. Our heart gets heavy with its burden, and our mind gets weary with the endless mystery of life and death. But when the problem seems too great—the problem of how and when, the why and whence and whither—let us re member that it is the part of all good Elks to wander while we may among the good tilings along the sunny up lands of content, and to lift our hearts in supplication to the Grand Exalted Ruler of the universe to lead us at Iasi into the green pastures of knowledge and beside the still waters of peace.1.

But Bowditch, Webster Co., assur persons suffering from distressing indigestion that they ran surely be relieved. Since nobody knows when, people have suffered from indigestion, sick headaches, bloating, dizzy spells, dis tress after eating, sleeplessness, and many other symptoms of stomach trouble, and have found the usual remedies powerless. At last a prescription called Mi-o-na stomach tablets is offered to the medi cal profession and general public as a final solution of curing stomach and intestinal troubles, its success every where lias made it. in the last few years, the acknowledged specific it is today. Indigestion, which is so common a trouble, is the principal cause of a great share of the general poor health. It lias misleading symptoms that seem- ingly have no reference to the stomach, such as headaches, sleeplessness, nervous symptoms, etc. These condi tions, if neglected, become chronic and hard to shake off. Strengthen the whole digestive system with Mi-o-na. and you will soon find that the stomach and bowels do their work as they should. Ther will be no distress after eating, and the refuse will be ex]»elled from the system without the aid of physic. Bowditch, Webster Co., have so much faith in the power of Mi-o-na to j cure stomach ills that they give a guarantee with every 50-cent box to refund the money if the remedy divs not do all that is claimed for it. They take all the risk, and you cannot afford to pass bv a reliable medicii-e that is sold in this way. Bold and guaranteed in WatervilV by Geo. W. Dorr and in Gardiner u> C. II.

I ARREST ASKED, Relative of Late Walter F Baker Charges Murder. Arsenical Poisoning Is Hie Re port From the Chemists. Prosecutor Koester Asked by Coun sel Nay to Receive Evidence. X, |w 1.—Written appli rati. hern made t*» Prosecutor Kor-o f Hrtffrn county. New Jersey, and to I»i.-Jrir t Attorney J-rome of New York, Frank X. Jay. counsel for the Hak. r family, for permission to resent information leading up to an arrest in the case of Walter I-arns worth Baker, who died under sus picious circumstances at Bogota, N. J., on Oct. •flic latest move in the Baker case is a result of the report of the chemists who made an examination of the vis es ra of Walter Baker, which, as pub lished by The Boston Herald, gave the cause of death as arsenical poison ing. Prosecutor Koester said Saturday night that lie had receive#! a letter fr >n Consul Nay of Boston, addressed to District Attorney Jen nie and hitn K, If, asking for a meeting in Mr. Jer ome'., oifiee mi Monday, at which he desired to present information upon which In- thought the authorities should n In 9.45. Any further invest iga lion hy I ho police will he d -voted to learning what happened to Baker in that hour and a half. Mr. Nay Saturday gave out the fol lowing statement: "The autopsy on the body of the late Walter F. Baker lias been held and a chemical examination made of the organs and tin ir contents. The eonelusinn of the medical examiner is that the deceased died as a result of acute arsenical pois oning. The arsenic was found in several of the organs. This, however, would probably lie the ease whether thn poison was administered in one dose or in sev eral. There is no reason whatever to suspect suicide There is up to the pres ent time no sufficient evidence to justify the asking for a warrant for the arrest of any person. "George B.

Fort unately no hacks were out, or*hey would i have been struck hy the falling debris. It was in the basement that the most terrible sight was seen, j As soon as the explosion occurred. Op erator Penney notified the Portland office and summoned a force of physicians from Brunswick ar.d then called up Chief Colby 'of the fire department, who ordered a gen I eral alarm run in so that the firemen i could assist in the work of rescue. The I physicians who responded were Dr. C. A. Palmer, Dr. G. M. Elliott, Dr. K. G. A. Stetson an l Dr. E. H. Andrews. Wher the firemen arrived the steam and smoke were pouring up from the base ment and a number of men. led by Chief Colby himself, descended and began an examination of the conditions there. It was some lime before they could make their v ay into the boiler room on ae I count of the dense steam. When they I finally got there they found that the east j boiler was a complete wreck, not a piece I being left that is so largo but it could I he easily lifted by one man. Pipes were broken and twisted. The east wall of the basement was blown out and the west boiler was knocked off its foundation After a long search the body of Wil liam B. Woodward was found, half buried beneath a pile of coal and broken frag ments of pipes and tlie boiler. His body was badly mutilated. The back of the skull was completely blown off and it was with difficulty that lie could he recog nized. At 2 o'clock Superintendent Fred E. Sanborn and Assistant Superintendent fl. E Manchester of (lie Maine Central ar rived and at once began an investigation. They found everything about the west boiler in good condition. When they ex amined what was left of the east boiler they found that the supply pipe valve. wl.ii.il should have been turned way on. was only turned a quarter round. I* is known that Mr. Woodward built the fire under the boiler about X o'clock and it is supposed that when he went downstairs at midnight lie found that Hie holler had no water in it and so started to fill it when the explosion occurred. The boilers were made by the Manches ter Heating and Lighting Co. of Man chester, K. II., and were the type known as Mercer No. 1. They were installed when the station was built eight years ago. There is always something fortunate about every accident, no matter how ter rible. The fortunate thing about the ac cident of last night was that it did not ocrur five minutes sooner. Coming as it did r.t 12 o'clock, the train for Augusta and Bangor had been gone from the sta tion more titan 10 minutes. The train for Portland had just pulled out and the rear lights of it were still visible. The I,ewis ton and Batli trains were still in the sta tion hut were on the outside tracks and lmd but a small passenger list and conse quently none of their passengers were injured. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Kimball of Bath had just t ime out of the station and were going across the platform to take their train when the explosion occurred. The shock so upset them that they decided to remain in Brunswick over night. An eye witness said that if the explo sion had been five or even three minutes earlier r.ot less than 50 people would have been killed and many more than that number had ber-n standing just at the point where the greatest damage was done. Most of them took the Portland train, while others boarded the Batli and Lewiston trains as soon as Ihe train for Portland pulled out. The Prnnswick station will have to he practically if binit. but it is doubtful if more than temporary repairs are made this wirter. The station was built in iSflll at a cost of 525,fOO. Mr Woodward had been with the road as right baggagemaster since that time. Before that lie had been a selectman and u:.s at one time postmaster of Brunswick. He was very prominent in Odd Fellow ireles, being a member of Pejepscot Lodge, No. 13. r asco Ercanr pmenf, No. 37. and Canton King, P. M.. No. 10. Coroner William E. Gordon impannelled a jury consisting of Juclson K. Langen. Charles E. Humphreys. Charles A. Ran •lnII. Copt. George L. Skolfiehl, George Bow ker and Herbert L. Robertson, this morning, and after viewing the scene r.f the accident tiicv adjourned for the inquest until Tuesday. THE INJURED DOING WELL Except Clifton J. Bailey, Whose Condi tion Is Critical. Brunswick, Me., Dee. 1 —With the ex cep* ion of Clifton .1. Bailey of Portion.1, nil the prisons* injured in the explosion of a boiler at the Maine Central Railroad station lu te early today which killed Wil liam P. Woodward and Walter Harris, were reported to lie getting along as well as could he expected. Mr. Bailey, who with his wife was waiting in the station on his way to Bangor to he treated for nervous prostration, was reported tonight as being in a critical condition. Although sustaining no serious cuts or bruises, the shock to Mr. Bailey’s already broken down nervous system lias caused liis wife and physicians grave anxiety. Mr. Bailey with his wife and George Dudley, conductor of the Lewiston train, were in the waiting room of the station when a section of the exploded boiler crashed up through the room within a few feet of where the group was waiting. Mr. Bailey was superintendent of a san itarium in Conway. N. H., until his health j broke down from overwork, j In addition to cuts about the head and j logs.

Mass., Dec. 1.—Upon the re fusal of Agnes Herube, a 15-year-old girl, to marry him, t'liarles MeGuigen, it is alleged, shot the girl in the back at her home on Perkins street today, and Miss Herube was taken to the Howell hospital, where she is reported in a critical condition. MeGuigen made his escape, but was captured two hours afterwards at the home of a friend In North Chelmsford. Miss Herube, it is said, was engaged to marry MeGuigen last August, but she postponed the marriage until Christmas and then asked MeGuigen to wait four years, saying she was too young to marry now. MeGuigen went to her home today to urge her to change her decision, and upon her refusal, it is alleged, shot iter.

Australia is in itself a monstrous con tinent. It u* as large as the United Stales; its four millions of people are scattered in a narrow fringe along tho streams and shores of tho southern and eastern seaboard. The vast interior— “the dead heart of Australia”-a region as large as the Mississippi valley, is a trackless, rainless waste of land and al kali. while the intervening hills, the hush and scrub., ate scantily occupied by sheep stations and by mining camps. The vast north of Australia is in part a tropi cal jungle—in part a blistering Sahara. The Fates denied to Australia the gift of hit it mountains, to catch the snow and hold the water, bonce her rivers are few and precarious, lienee at too fre quent intervals the great drought comes and the desert spreads its smothering arms, crowding man and his dependents backward toward the sea. It is a mono tonous country it1 its physical aspects: the forest.* on hill, valley, rock, and swamp are all of one pattern, Hncalyi tus. —then gray trunks of the gum trees of ntanv species—as far as the *ye tan see. Without mountains and streams there is little room for variety. It is monotonous in its industries—cattle, sheep, horses; its one fire art the breeding of the per fect merino sheep. It is monotonous in Its towns. One story, light brown, with unpointed rcof of corrugated iron, is the description of nine tenths of the Austra lian homes. Corrugated hon mean* clear rain water, and Australia can afford to waste none of it. Tt H monotonous as to population. Tho Englishmen came first to Australia and they are still holding it against all comers. The way is mado rough for immigrants who do not speak English, and for well or ill—in many ways for each— the ruling minority, the labor vote*, is sternly set on “White Australia." with all which it implies.
