New York, June 2S.—To tile tune of “Yankee Doodle,” the roar of "A-m-e-r-i-c-a” ami the waving of thousands of tiny American Hags, Un cle Sam's band of champion athletes which make up his Olympic team, sailed Saturday morning on the steam ship Philadelphia for England. Fit as so many warriors, four score and three, bronze-faced, red-blooded soldiers of the track and field made up the list. They1 went prepared for battle, but not with guns or cannon. Instead their implements of combat are speed, strength and a confidence that they will conquer the world in the Eoiuloa stadium. Never before in the history of ath letics ha: uch an aggregation of cham pions left these shores. Ever\' ruction of ttie country is represented. North, East, South and West had sent its liero*s prepared tie. 31 Tibbetts, p _ Welch. If Lebreck. , climbed, coat begrimed, from ihe hold, where he had instructed the handlers how to trim the fuel cargo. A dray arrived loaded with eoal scoops, kegs of nails and cooking uten sils. Assistant McMillan tallie I off the list. Men were busy putting a sheath ing of asbestos around the boilers. A metal shaft, or well, around which are situated i he* berths, allows the genial heal from boilers and furnaces to rise and impart a July warmth to the quar ters of the officers m the most severe Arctic weather. The Roosevelt is a good handler un der sail. She is now equipped witli a tug rail, .vhich will enable her to reap the advantage of a wind abalt. In the after deckhouse, containing of ficers ’and stewards’ quarters, the steward. Charles Perey, was putting in his time testing tinned fish and veg etables. Capt Bartlett expects that the carillon and musk ox preserves of ilie North will keep the crew supplied with fresh meal. Commander Peary, who is now in Maine, may be here this week, or he may leave all preparations to Capt. Bartlett. In such eases the Roosevelt will pick up Peary on the coast ot Nova Sccdia. The commander, in a long distance telephone conversation this week, said that $1(1,000 of the $00,000 needed for the start had already been provided, and that the names of the donors might never be known. Most important in the changes in tlie Roosevelt is the substitution of sail water boilers of Scotch design for the old fresh water style. All the space formerly devoted to the storage ol fresh water for the boilers can now be given uii to extra coal. Tne Roosevelt is scheduled to sai for Sydney about July 1. There will 1» about 21 in the party. Matt Henson Commander Peary’s colored assistant goes. The doctor is yet to be selectee from among many applicants. In tin complement are Muse Bartlett, brothel of tile skipper, who shipped as mate John Murphy, second mate; Oennii Murphy, Robert Ryan, Charles Pome roy, James Murphy, Matt Ryan, Pat rick Shear.s, Andrew Sheans, Micliae Handrigan anil Patrick Joyce. Chief Engineer George Warded hail: from Bueksport, Me. The crew com.?: mostly from Newfoundland. There an five sail >rs, five firemen, two engineers steward, two cooks, bo’sun, and twi mates. They all hope to be back in If months. The Roosevelt will be foreeel to tin winter quarters on the north shore o Grant land.

In tin* middle ”for tics" of tlit last century, the lalt* John W Tufts of Boston, then a young man I of exceptional musical ability, was i studying Hie pipe organ, piano, har mony and voice culture in Germany. At that lime Mendelssohn had just completed his Oratorio of Elijah, which is now so familiar to all Maine Festi val singers and pat rolls. Mr. Tufts' genial manner, breezy American ways and beautiful voice attracted to him a great many friends, blit the friend ship which lie cherished above all oth ers was that of Mendelssohn himself. Mr. Tufts was selected as one of the singers who wa re to rehearse and sing the Oratorio. The great work had not been printed, and therefore was sung from manuscript. When given its lirst public performance, it was under the direction of Mendelssohn. Upon re turning to this country, Mr. Tufts lo cated in Bangor, where lie followed his profession of teacher of music.

The acoustic properties of the audito rium are so marvelously gr. at, that the faintest note of the swell jrgan is distinctly Heard in ev.-rv part of the buiiding, wliile die great organ fills the entire building with glorious mel ody. MAINE INDUSTRIES. Frank Bradbury Ac Son of West Franklin have a contract which calls tor ten carloads of stone to be used in bridge construction on ‘.he Washing ton railroad. Over vik).uoij feet of pine, spruce and hemlock have been sut this season by the portable mill of T. \V. Lang. This mill has a tin horse pow.-r engine and a change lias been made in the engine from pinion to rope feed. Tile mill is now oil llic Sylvester Stewart l"t in Bowdoin, where there will be work un til r.ext winter.

Three children were recently bap* fixed at the Baptist church at Carl" IxiU. Kev. James W. Price, who has been pastor of the Buoksport church for the past two years, has resigned and be'n transferred to the Oregon conference. The service at the Second Congre gational church at Biddeford last Sun day was an impressive one. About a dozen small children were baptized, and the service was carried out very smoothly in spite of the fact that some of the children were very small. Clark Griffith, late manager of the New York Americans, went to Net* York Saturday and saw the game at the Polo grounds. Many friends greet ed him and wished him succees in whatever lie engages in tlie* future. Griff says that lie is going to stay jn Gotham for a while at least and "ill not go out to his Montana ranch until next fall. He hopes to get hold of a ball club of his own, probably in minor league, but says he has nothing in sight in that direction. WILLIAMS’ KIDNEY PILLS. Have you neglected your Kidneys!

Harvard docs not very often win a big boat race, but when it does win it makes a very thorough job of it. They have now invented a kind of firework;' that talk. This may bring the old fashioned Fourth of July ora tion into vogue once more. The Vermont Democrats got together nearly U0i> men at their state conven tion, but there is a suspicion that a gooit part of the crowd was imported for the occasion. An attack by Mr. Kryan on the Re publican platform is now a dally fea ture of the news columns along with the weather forecast and the baseball scores. It all helps Taft and Sher man, too. Isn't Jim Sherman entitled to a hero medal for accepting the nomina tion for vice-president on ttie Re publican ticket.’—Houston Post. Whatever else he is entitled to, he is entitled to election, and that is the main thing. The Springfield Republican notes that of the members of the two Cleve land cabinets, 10 survive their chief. These are Richard Olney, John G. Car lisle, Charles S. Fairchild, Judson Har mon, W. T. Vilas, Don M. Dickinson, Norman J. Coleman, Hilary A. Her bert, David R. Francis and Hoke Smith. The majority, however, have passed away, for there were many men at one time or another in the cabinets of the two Cleveland administrations. The only men in this list of survivors still in active politics are Judson Har mon of Ohio and GoV. Hoke Smith of Georgia. Circuit Judge Daniel G. Taylor, a Democrat of high standing in St. Louis, has announced his intention of voting for Secretary Taft. His state ment says: “This country stands more hi need of a constructive statesman than at any time since the 60's. Party lines are gone from thinking men's minds and will be re-formed only when the great questions confronting us are worked out more definitely. Mr. Roosevelt opened the nation’s eyes to many of its ills. They must be cured, not aggravated. I believe Mr. Taft, resembling Mr. Cleveland, who died today, in many ways will be of greater service to the country in the presi dential ofiiee than any other man. There no longer being any Democratic party, the Democrats who have not gone over to the Bryanites will in all probability flnfj fhen^plves driven to -1. J i Investigating Mine Disasters. The United States Government, with in the next few weeks, will begin a series of scientific investigations into the causes of disasters in American coal mines in the hope that the pres ent frightful mortality may be reduced to a minimum By August 1, in accord ance with plans approved by Secre tary of th^ Interior Garfield the Inte rior Department will have a complete experimental station in operation on the grounds of the arsenal in Pittsburg, Pa. For some time before the Hemen way amendment to the legislative ap propriation bill, making an appropria tion of $150,000 for this work, became a law and the money available Gov eminent officials were busy making tentative plans for the station in order that there might be no delay. This ad vanced the project to such an extent that the material for the station will be on the ground by July 1st, and it is expected the station will be in opera tion a month later. This prompt action was considered necessary because of the fact that the terrible mortality record of last year is being continued into this year, al though >907 was considered an unusual one, 3,200 being killed in the coal mines as against 2,001 the year before. From unofficial estimates it appears that six teen men have been killed or injured each work day of the year. Just the other week, twenty-three miners were killed and thirty injured in and about Wilkes-Barre, Pa. At the Pittsburg experimental sta tion, tests of the various dynamites am! powders used in blasting coal will be made with a view to accurately de termining their safety in the presence of the deadly firedamp and equally deadly coal dust. Explosives of all sorts will be hurled by means of a mor tar into a mammoth boiler-plate cylin der which has previously been filled with gas. and ihe effects will be care fully noted. If ignition fails after se vere tests, the use of these explosives will be urged upon the mine owners of the country. The results of the investigations will be published for the benefit of the mine bureaus of the various coal producing states, the mine owners and the miners themselves. Simple instructions will be issued from time to time to the miners ip half a dozen different lan guages. There is no intention of in terfering in any way with the inspec tion work of the state bureaus. The work is wholly investigative in char acter, and educational in purpose. It is the purpose of the United States of ficials to cooperate with these bureaus to t'ne extent of supplying information concerning the mysteries of the catas trophes in tlie mines. It is expected that the results will he accepted by the state bureaus as a guidance to future State laws governing the safety of miners. A writer in tin- Boston Transcript il'dars Unit while Imliana's heart still iieats warmly for Mr. Fairbanks, its disappointment over his defeat at Chi cago apparently is not going to deter the Republicans of the State front "taking off their coats” and going to work for Mr. Taft. Carl W. Itiddiok, secretary of the Republican State Com mittee, puts the situation succinctly by saying that the Indianans went to the convention thoroughly in earnest for .Mr. Fairbanks and arc now so thor oughly in earnest for Mr. Taft. George Ade is net speaking as ,i humorist when lie says tile more people inves tigate Mr. William 11. Taft the better they like him, and that the disappoint ment following the convention this year is not of the kind that can ripen into any sort of opposition to the tick et nominated. Congressman Randis speaks in the same vein and reminds the Indianans that McKinley sought out Taft in the lirst place when he had grave problems to solve and that Tatt icd in their solution. The consensus of Republican opinion in Indiana seems to be that, while it would have liked Fairbanks it does not dislike r\ aft and never lias disliked him. it has a fa vorite siSn, but the Republicans of the State continue to have a favorite party to which they promise to give their un divided allegiance. From the other states which had favorite sons. New Votk, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Illi nois, tlie same story cranes. All are in line in loyal and enthusiastic fashion for Tit ft and Sherman. Now that Grover Cleveland is dead it is possible that the Democratic plat form to he framed at Denver next month will mention the name of the only Democratic president elected in half a century. No Democratic nation al platform in lfi years lias mentioned his name. Tired Mothers. It's hard work to take care of children and to cook, sweep, wash, sew and mend besides. It makes a shop of the home—a shop, too, where sixteen hours make a day and yet there is much working overtime. Hood's Sarsaparilla helps tired mothers in many ways—it refreshes the blood, improves the appetite, and assures restful sleep. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. Y cr Maine Gossip The World at Play.

Tins is tiic week when liridgton Academy celebrates its centennial. The army of delegates and rooters moves on to Bangor today. The August encampment of the Na tional Guard will be its first brigade encampment since 1S97. Few High school teachers have held one position longer than Principal H. E. Cole who lias just closed his -atli year as head id' Bath High. With the graduations over and the Fourth at hand this week will bring tne real beginning of the summer sea son at tlie Maine resorts. Sagadahoc Kepublijcans once more renominated popular John W. Ballou as tlicir candidate for sheriff and as usual lie will be elected by a good big majority. Portland Advertiser—Considering the fact that Gen. Chamberlain is not a candidate for the presidency and doesn't come anywhere near weigtiing :(23 pounds, the Chamberlain demon stration at Bowdoin Thursday was unite as notable us the Taft demonstra tion at Vale earlier in the week. Kockland Opinion—Horace Klliott has a handsome shag cat which he would not sell for love or money and which is quite a curiosity. She was never known to catch a rat or mouse or anything else, and Mr. K. has re cently found out what the trouble is. You, of course, have heard of cross eyed cats. Well, this one is so much that way that when she attempts to catch anything she jumps in the oppo site direction. Itr. and Mrs. S. Weir Mitchell of Philadelphia have arrived tit Bar Har bor for the summer months, and will be at Far Xiente on West street, as for many seasons. Dr. Mitchell usu ally makes a busy summer of his va cation, and is almost invariable en gaged on the manuscript of some work. A large number of his best known nov els have been turned out during his summer at Bar Harbor, ami he will be hard tit work during the coming sum mer. He is an enthusiastic member of the Village Improvement Associa tion, and is especially interested in the development of the woodland paths. He is an indefatigable walker, and has covered practically every foot of land on the island in the course of his ram bles. One of the distinguished graduates >f tlie Hath High school who will at tend the Alumni Association banquet and reunion at the Morse High next Monday evening will be Mrs. George Moulton of that city. Jt will be the fiftieth anniversary of her class. Eight of her children are graduates of the Hath High school and they arc all liv ing. Hangor lias seen its first sheath shirt and the News tells about it and the sensation it caused, as follows: ‘Not since the Indians burned a missionary at tlie stake on the site of the present Maine Central station at the foot of Exchange street in that general vicinity lias there been such excitement as occurred Thursday morning a few minutes after the ar rival of the New York train. A woman of stunning presence came demurely from one of the state-room cars, for a brief promenade on the platform—and she was wearing a directoire gown with a sheath skirt. It was the real thing, slit up the side and all. It was an entire suit of cerise, and fitted like a tight glove. An enormous picture hat, with waving ostrich plumes, topped the habit.” And according to the News train men, depot men, trav eling men, everybody within sight, fell into a trance and it was not until long after the train and the woman had gone that Hangor resumed normal conditions.

More duels are fought in Germany than hi any other country and Jena and Gottingen are the cities which take the lead. It is said that a duel takes place iu Gottingen every day and on one occasion some years ago 12 com bats took place in the 24 hours. Jena s greatest number for the day is 21. 'I he German empire lias about 40>M duels a year; France has about 1000; Italy about 270. In 1" years Italy had 2T.r>0 meetings, of which 074 originated in newspaper articles or public letters. The great majority of the duels were fought with swords; only one with re volvers. “Instances of desertion from the ar my ill Mexico are very rare and for the best of reasons,” said Senor Jose de Minalde/. of Nueva Leon. “The reason lies in the almost sure capture of the fugitive and the certainty that he will get not one but numerous flog gings on his bare back. These lashings are done in the presence of the com rades of the deserter, and when the men see how great is the suffering of the miserable wretch who tried in vain to quit his military obligations, tiiey are forced to conclude that it is better to stick to the army than to undergo such a terrible ordeal.”—Baltimore American.

Bailey Stock Company, in introducing itself at the Island park theater this evening beg to say that it proposes to give to its patrons the strongest series of comedies—and comedy dramas, ever offered by a stock company in this part of the country, and by what is undoubtedly the best company of players. Each piav will be such as has won a marked success in New York and on the road—in short, plays that theater-goers elsewhere are HARRY JENKINS. paying $1 and $2—a seat to see. The Island park theater, in future, will be run as a high-class, popular-price theater and nothing will be left undone that can add to the duality of the per formances or the comfort and enjoy ment of our patrons. The following clipping from “The Detroit Free Press” regarding Harry Jenkins in "The Gilded Fool” at the Lafayette theater will be of interest: "In the production Harry Jenkins, the comedian of the Stock Company, has the part of Chauneey Short, (which is the title role;) and the part tits him like a glove and he plays it in a high-class, clean-cut manner. This gentleman's mirth producing powers seem to be unlimited; for he kept the audience in an uproar of laughter dur ing the entire lighter portions of the play. And, his emotional work was equally well done, evincing a ready understanding of the author’s sutler meanings.” Mr. Jenkins will be at Island park theater all summer. PERSONAL MENTION.

Well-Known People Devote Spare Time to Upbuilding Health. Physical culture is Rotting to be m A re and more of a hobby with many people, who devote their spare time not only to upbuilding their own physi cal health, but in preaching doctrine of gbod health to others. There is no excuse today for any person, unless tainted with an incura ble disease, remaining sickly, with the great advance in medical discoveries and the growing popularity of physi cal culture. In the diseases of digestion anil nutri tion. for example, an acknowledged specific treatment lias been found in Mi-o-na. It is relied upon as a cer tainty in relieving the worst troubles of digestion and assimilation, and making a complete cure. People suffering with headaches, pal pitation, sleeplessness, bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue, distress after eating, specks before the eyes, ner vousness and general debility, and any other of tlie many distressing results of a weakened stomach, should profit by the discovery of Mi-o-na stomach tablets. Bowditch, Webster Co. have seen so many cures by Mi-o-na of stomach and general run-down state of health that they are firm believers in the power of this remedy to cure practical ly every case, anil they show this faith by giving a guarantee with every 50 cent box of Mi-o-na to refund the money unless it does all that is claimed for it. They take the whole risk, and Mi-o-na will not cost you a penny un less it' Cures. .Sold ftlul guaranteed in Waterville by Geo. W. l/orr, and in Gardiner by C. H. ST. JOHN’S DAY.

The fire department was called out at 1.43 Sunday afternoon by an alarm from Box 42 at the corner of Cony and Bangor streets, due to a brisk blaze in the house at .No. 12 Noyes place owned by R. J. Noyes of this city and occupied by Miss Almeda Sibley as a boarding house. The fire got a good start and would have made a hot one had it not been for the prompt work by the fire department. The cause of the fire is not known but it evidently caught behind a bureau in a chamber where it was lo cated and spread from that piece of furniture to all parts of the room, burning the bureau, the mopboard, the window casings, wall paper, etc., and so great was the heat that it burst the glass in the window. With the excep tion of a few pails of water which were thrown on the fire before the arrival of the department the blaze was kill ed out by the use of chemicals. Not a small amount of damage resulted from smoking up the hallway. Mr. Noyes estimates the loss at about $250, that to tile building being covered by in surance in the Macomber. Farr Whitten agency. It is understood that there was no insurance on the house hold goods. A curious incident in connection with the fire was a predicament which befel one of the boarders. The members of the family were at dinner when the fire was discovered and one of the young men in the jtouse hurried up stairs to the scene of the trouble, but found the door to the. room locked. In trying to open it he kicked out one of the lower panels and in doing so got one foot caught by tile splintered wood in such a way that he had to have as sistance before he could get free.
