1 v- The Gardiner Really Go., Will Construct It Upon he Fine A. T. Smith lot on Mi Street. Im Corporation formed Saturday it Office of Mayor Atkins. Sinee flic lots several' years ago' by firo of the ColiSthinrl, the residents of Gardinct and vleinity have been with out a suitable hall, where all' sorts 0« entertainments could be given, and although the question eVt providing something to take its place has often been agitated nothing substantial has tj0en done until Saturday afternoon last when a corporation was fromed at the office of Mayor Will C. Atkins for that purpose. The new corporation Mill be known as the Gardiner Realty Co and it will erect a building upon the lot occupied by A. T. Smith on Church street as a carriage factory, as scon as the subscriptions for the stock arc completed. It is the inten tion of the corporation to give all in terested citizens an opportunity to subscribe for shares in the new enter prise. The capital stock is $10,000 and the par value ot the shares is $10, fully paid and nop-assessable for any pur pose The promoters have no hesitation in stating that it is a straight/ legitimate business proposition and will lie con ducted upon that basis and promises excellent returns to the stockholders.' While in a large- sense such a propo sition is a public undertaking, the idea of the newly formed corporation is to make it a. sate, well-paying invest ment, not a gilt, arid the character of the men interested in the project prac tically insures its success. The building will be 125 feet in length a8at in .the first inning and started In to play a rattling Blair and Farniianf both scoring. Talbot scored fpt GarclJrtpV In t,bc second half, in tlie second inning Clark scored for Waterville pml Gardiner went out in «bkr. while friends of the lionie team began to look worried.. hi the third inding neither side scored, hi the fourth inning the Gardiner hoys began to show spirit and started out to recover tlie ground lost by errors and loose playing. Three runs, made by Per ry. Shepard and Eastman, and a two bagger by Moore showed Waterville that Gardiner was not tlie cinch she had hoped. In tlie Jlfth inning both teams went out jn order. In the sixth Inning with three tnen on liases and only one man out Moore shut out the visitors while tho spectators applauded. In the last of the Kixth Gardiner scored one run on a two base hit by Bhepard. By the end of the sixth Moore’s arm began to grow lame and Perry replaced 'Moore In the pitcher’s box and consider-i iil|le chapge was made in the positions •t the Gardiner nine. Eastman replaced Perry at shortstop, Shepard moved to; left field and Talbot-to center field, while Glidden went iu at right field.

The Richmond High school boys were defected Saturday afternoon by local boys at the Muster field by a score of 12 to 2. The game was one-sided after the sixth inning. Richmond's runs were made in the first inning by Rogers being hot by a pitched ball, and then again in the third by Rog ers on a hit and passed ball. Hallowell secured her runs in the first by a base on balls and a couple of stolen bases and a sacrifice hit by Fish, Roy Fuller count ing. Again in the fourth inning by hits by tv. Fuller, an error by Newell and a lilt by Falconi, two runs being scored at the end. Tn the fifth Roy Fuller came to tlie bat like a little Trojan and then lie sent the ball away out in left field for a tine three-bagger and scored on an error by Kidder. Douglass started things again in the sixth by a hit followed by a hit from K. Fuller and an error by Rogers, a hit by Tllnke, Niles struck out and Carey reached first on an error, and Hoy Fuller closed the inning by striking out. After everything had blown away four runs were cr fiited to the local lmys. Another gust of wind began to blow in the eighth when hits by Carry and Roy Fuller followed by a hit liy Douglass and another by Blake, again added four runs to tlie home team’s total. The features of tlie game were the all round playing of Roy Fuller and the playing of Wood at first base. A large crowd enjoyed the game. The summary: HARROWED!, B B.

The Band baseball team defeated the Clerk's team 8 to 0 Saturday after noon on the Home diamond in very exciting game. At 3 o’clock the Band boys formed and marched with their music around by headquarters onto the field, and being confident of a victory harnessed two dogs into a small cart which was finely draped and had three placards attached—“We are all behind ‘yer’’—“Band vs. Clerks at 3, watch-watch"—"Band champions 1907 vs. Clerks"—“watch the poor clerks, nuf sed." The game was called at 3.15 and the band made three runs in the first and shut out the clerks. The band then put on a broad smile. The Clerks held the Band down until the sixth when they scored again and in the seventh started off with two runs when Schueler came to the bat, made a tine hit to center, bringing two more, mak ing eight runs in all to the Clerks’ nothing. Two more innings were played without any more scores being made. The Clerks were a little slow in throwing to bases, allowing the Band to steal quite a lot. Umpire Crane. Attendance, 500.

The little paper tube of tobacco was, so to say, a national institution among the Russians, .gen tle and 3iinple, long before it was seen between the Ups of the Englishman and Frenchman.” My friend, a British merchant on his first visit to Russia, was being intro duced to a local banking house. As the cashier momentarily laid aside his cigarette in a convenient ash tray to attend to us my visitor looked anus edly round the spacious room, where here and there among the staff of six ty dorks he saw the culling blue smoke of many QlgarcUQIi The cash ier proffered his djjaretw cask “Weil, do you know.fi d^Witoy'friend, “it is not by any means our notion of doing business, and yet somehow it looks homely and agreeable, and none of these fellows appear to be lasing or shirking.” Then came a further surprise for my companion. A neatly dressed waitress emerging from some lower region was passing in behind the chief counter bearing a large tray on which were some ten or twelve large glasses of tea, with the usual small dish of sliced lemon and silver fork. The tea was first distributed to the senior clerks in the various departments, and the waitress returned for further supplies for the rest of the staff. “Also a Russian institution?” smil ingly querried the London merchant. “Exactly,” I replied, “and the tea is of the finest quality.” From the bank we drove to the post office and telegraph station. In these places it is forbidden to the public to smoke, but behind the counters In every department the cigarette and tea were just as much in evidence as they were at the bank. The tea is always supplied by the establishment, what ever it may be; the cigarettes the of ficials and clerks find themselves.— Odessa Correspondence London Stand ard. THE REAL FOUNTAIN OF YOyTH. Lies in the Activity of the Brain Cells. Vital as is the physical side of con serving youth, however, its true foun tain is in our brain. If we maintain activity of its ceils it quickens the cir culation of the blood, the vital organs, gives light to the eyes, preserves the suppleness of the body, removes to a distance illness, age, death Itself. Re member the lesson of the bicycle; how the laboring man and the busy house keeper, ready to drop from the day*s work, would go for a spin and return after an hour’s exercise of those same weary leg muscles, rested. Body ache is often nothing but brain rust. “He looks much older than he is,” said Von Moltke of a fellow-offlcer, “he has used his body more than his mind.” Age was to the French woman of the salons no excuse for dullness. To the very last one must be pointed, animat ed, alert. Because an age has come when ordinarily the crust of custom begins to encase our free spirits is ex actly the reason for keeping them elas tic. One of the most remarkable things in the career of Dr. Richard Storrs was that by far the greatest portion of that career was after he had passed the age of BO. The Duke of Marlboro began his career as ia great commander in 1702 when he was 52 years old. Lord Lyndhurst on the eve of his 89th birthday made a bril liant speech in parliament. Sophocles wrote his masterpiece at 80. Goethe finished “Faust” in his 80th year. AJ fieri began Greek at 47 and at 54 had mastered it. Mrs. Pioyzi preserved her fine faculties, imagination and unex ampled vivacity to the end. On her 80th birthday she gave a great ball, concert and supper in the public rooms at Bath to over 200 persons, and opened the ball herself. Old Lady Grey painted beautifully, though she only began to be an artist when she was quite an old woman. She alw'ays went out sketching with thirty-nine articles, which one servant called over at the door, another mur muring “Here,” for each article, to moke sure that nothing should be left behind—Scribner’s Magazine. Bohemian Heme Work. Consul John Steel Twells, in a report from Carlsbad, describes the cottage industrial life in that part of Austria, so many of the products of which are sold in tlie United Slates. In the manufacturing districts lot Bohemia goods for both home supply and exportation are not only produced in factories, but to a great extont the raw material is givon to men, women and children and taken home, where all the members of the family are en gaged in tho work of producing various articles which are sold to the home trade or exported to foreign countries. This method is known in Austria as “Hausindustrie,” or home work, and in all parts of the country where textiles, glass, lace goods, gloves, etc., are made men, women and children obtain the^r simple living by this means, and con sequently it is of great importance to thousands of poor people living in tha small villages adjacent to factory cen ters, enabling them to make a llyfa^. especially during the long, dreggy months of winter, when no other wood patlon is possible. Around perhaps the only table in the room, in a little house, the family assembles, the man, his wife, the grandparents and children with other members of the family. If there be any. When evening corner an an oil lamp, a candle or even chips of wood are the only lights by which they can work. On Thursdays, Fri days and Saturdays the finished arti cles are taken to tho factories and paid tor- i 4 “It is very hard said one of the lace exporters fjrpm fy’eudck the other day, “to get, people in summer to make laces. They, prefer to go to work in fields or picking hops, for which they get higher wages than by making laces. Children get 8 cents A day at that time and adults from 25 cents to even 40 cents, ^nd. of course, we cannot afford to pay such high wages for lacemaking.” The “automobile stare” Is becoming no ticeable In New York City. It is the va cant, faraway, apparently unobsarvlng look that comes into the face of a chauf feur when he crosses streets regardless of the pedestrians, turns tlie wrong oof* ner or guides and speeds his vehicle re gardless of the rights of others.

Invitations arc out for a dance to be given by the Sons of Veterans at Grand Army hall next Thursday even ing, May 7, it being a dance which was postponed from last Thursday evening. Those holding invitations or tickets for the first date will find them good on the postponed date. Extensive preparations are being made for a good time. Chief Engineer Buckley has received two sets of snap couplings, recent mention of which was made in the Journal, and will add them to the equipment of Hose Nos. 1 and 2. These couplings enable the firemen to attach the hose to a hydrant instantly and without any screwing on as is required with the ordinary coupling, and will be given a trial this evening. Sunday was a large sized disap pointment to the fishermen and pleas ure seekers in general, as it was one of the most disagreeable days ol the season. A northeast storm which last ed throughout the greater part of the day developed at about 3 o'clock in the morning, and at about 10 o’clock the rain was varied with a little snow, but not enough to make any showing. The Philadelphia Reading coal barge Pocopson with 800 tons of egg and stove coal for the Purinton Bros. Co., arrived at this port Saturday af ternon in tow of the tugs Seguin and Charlie Lawrence, and now lies at the company’s wharf waiting to be dis charged. Owing to the high water and the strong current in the river the task of docking the barge was a difficult one and it was nearly an hour before the tugs were able to leave her. Notice has been received at police headquarters from Sheriff George F. Winch of Mclndoe Falls, Vt., giving a description of one Mark E. Foster of Hardwick, Vt., who is wanted for em bezzlement and for whose return to Vermont a reward of $230 is offered. Foster is the treasurer of both the town and village of Hardwick and is short in his accounts to the extent of $6000. He left Hardwick via Montpe lier Sunday. April 19. He is about 40 years of age, of rather slight build, about 3 feet, 6 or 7 inches in height, and weighs about 135 pounds; is smooth shaven; has recently had the four central lower front teeth ex tracted and his two central upper teeth are capped with gold. Some of the clerks at the postoffice were witnesses to an exhibition a few days ago which goes to show that some animals can to a certain extent reason between cause and effect. It was the day that the water in the river first came over the wharves, and while they were watching they saw an old rat come from under the steamboat wharf and after sniffing the air for a moment or two crawl under the wharf only to reappear shortly with a little one in her mouth. This she carried to a place of safety and went back under the wharf. She made three trips in all, bringing out a young rat each time, and after she had made the last trip not more than 10 minutes elapsed be fore the place from which she had made her exit was under water. Webber Hewett’s preparation to meet the exacting demand summer will make on their fancy bakery de partment, is expected to be ample. It is decidedly interesting for people to know how very neat and particular everything is that is connected with this department. The famous Regent flower is used and the sweetness and wholesomeness of the bread attest the cause for its popularity.

SHOTS EXCHANGED By Unknown Yeggman and Officer at Woodfords. Makes Bood His Escape Ap parently Without Injury. One of Three Suspicious Characters Seen During the Evening. Portland, Me., May 3.—Shots were ex changed by a fleeing yegg and Officer John J. Lyons at Woodfords about midnight and as a result a general alarm was sent out for a young man about 5 feet 8 inches in height, with long hair, a brown soft hut, a lignt suit of clothes and tennis shoes, or “sneakers." Oflicer Lyons was not hit and the rapidity with which the yegg put distance between himself and the officer indicated that he was unin jured. The yegg was one of three who were noticed about the Deering district early in the evening and to whom the attention of the officers in that sec tion had been called from their evi dent desire to avoid .being seen and otherwise generally suspicious actions. As the night wore on. two of the trio disappeared, leaving only the man who did the shooting. He was seen in the rear of the W. W. Brown resi dence. one of the finest in the city, hut edged away when he saw that he was being shadowed by the officers. Later he was seen in the vicinity of flic residence of Albert G. Hollins, f>0!) Forest avenue. Officer Lyons determined to get the man and at least have an opportunity to look him over this time and tried to overhaul him. At Belmont street Lyons fired one shot, imping thereby to make the ileeing suspect stop, but instead llie would-be robber swung round and returned his lire, then turned again and ran toward the city. Before the officer could get him in range again lie disappeared in the vi cinity ot the pottery yards. Police headquarters on Myrtle street were notified at once and the police lire wagon with Inspector Craig and Special Officer Charles 1-1. Taylor of South Portland started at once into the territory where the yegg was last seen. They did not encounter him but notified all the officers to he on the lookout. ;j The fact that the yeggman had “sneokeis' on at this time of year and was lightly clad, left no doubt in the minds of the officers that he needed looking after, even before lie resorted to his gun to make good his escape.

(Continued from Page One.) that lie is sincerely convinced lie ought to be the leader of the Senate. He lias said so time and again, with the qualification that he supposes he will have to wait till the older men get out of the way. And so the consideration of the four battleship, amendment furnished the colts another chance to caper around the Senate and they kept the Senate in a debate for six days, which was four or five days longer than there was any real warrant for doing. The strife of the ambitious young senators has been going on in this fashion for several months and it will be kept up, perhaps, to the end of the session. Cer tain Republicans who served in the House of Representatives and regard themselves, with some warrant as veterans in the legislative service, I have recently become Senators. They think the Senate leaders have not ad vaned them as rapidly as should be or are disgruntled because others of their House colleagues have fared bet ter than they. For instance Senator Hale took up Senator Hemenway, of Indiana, and had him given a place on the great appropriations commit tee. Several senators of that com mittee are growing old and weary of the immense amount of hard work that service on that committee entail. They wanted a younger man to take some of the burdens. But he had to be a competent and well trained man, or he would have been a cumbrance rather than a help. Mr. Hemenway had been chairman of the House ap propriations committee, had been tried in appropriation work and ac cordingly there seemed to be warrant for placing him in that responsible positioli. Senator Burkett, of Ne braska, who was also a member of the House appropriations committee, would lutve liked the same job but did not get it. He is one of the most spirited of the Senate colls and is kick ing out in fine style. Senator Beverdige wanted to be a member of the great Finance Commit tee, when the committees were reor ganized last December. He has never bad any experience in framing tariff or financial bills. He was re fused a place on Finance and an ex-member of the House Ways and Means Committee, Senator Hopkins, of Illinois, who had helped frame the Dingley tariff law, was put on. Ever since then Mr. Beveridge has been one of the colts. He lias constantly pre dicted the downfall of Senator Al drich, chairman of the Finance Com mute. as leader of the Senate. Mr. Aldrich has not taken altogether kindly lo the circulation of those re ports by Mr. Beveridge. The lively fi-e between the two Senators on the floor the other day was due to the unkindly feelings the one entertains for the other. They did not descend to a personal quarrel during the de bate but it came very close to it. The list of the recalcitrant colts might be added to. The Senate in the last throe years has gained a lot of new blood, the oid leaders have been gradually dropping out and those who are left sometimes have to look to tluir laurels. And yet there is prac tically little chance that the colts will get loose and carry tilings their own way. The Senate leaders arc very cautious in shaping up their pro grams. They know that leaders lead by forestalling the wishes of the ma jority. They are very keen men in finding out what the will of the ma jority is lik'dy to be. Then as soon as a new Senator comes in, who demonstrates that lie has ability and capacity for legislation they begin to provide for him. They make good places for him on com mittees, places where he can grow up to have influence in legislation. The theory of such selections is very wise. It proceeds upon the idea that the best men shall be developed by this quiet but effective method. Few, if any. mistakes, arc made by such se lections. The Senators who do the kicking, the young colts, can safely be classed either as having inferior ability or as men who have not yet had enough opportunity to satisfy the leaders of their ability. Occasionally a young colt, wlio demonstrates great power by kicking, convinced the leaders that lie can be of real ijse in conduct lag the business of (lie Senate, where upon lie is certain to be given recog nition. And at that point he ceases to be a colt and a kicker. He then discovers that the Senate is a great legislative body under the leadership of exceedingly wise and able men.
