Hie Grand Old Man Pushing His Bill To Its Passage. GLADSTONE UNDISTUR^ BY CRIES OF SHAME. Custead, He Takes Advantage of the Con fusion to Carry a Motion that a Re port of Progress Be Made—The Com mons Considered as Much of the Bill Bast Night as in All Previous Sittings. London, July 6.—The House of Com mons was crowded tonight with persons eager to see clause 5 of the home rule bill forced through the Commons. Mr. Balfour of the Unionists, was in the middle of a sentence when “Big Ben” struck 10. He did not wait to finish it and resumed his seat amid deafening opposition cheers and cries of “shame” and “gag.’’ Almost immediately, Chairman Mallor put the question of the last unionist amendment. His voice was hardly audible in the din. Cheers and counter cheers resounded as Mr. Gladstone and his colleagues trooped out into the division lobby. The amend ment was lost 324 to 286, and and clause 5, which concerns the Irish executive autliorty, was passed, 324 to 289. Clause 6, which provides for an Irish parliament with a legislative council of 48 members,passed without debate, 315 to 800. Clause 7, which provides for the constitution of the Irish legislative assembly, was car ried, 325 to 289. Clause 8, which con templates cases of disagreement between the two houses of the Irish legislature, was carried, 232 to 291. The confusion gave Mr. Gladstone an opportunity to move that the committee rise and re port progress. The motion was carried before the Conservatives fairly realized what was being done. Mr. Gladstone hastily left the house. The opposition, after denouncing the premier for his summary method of cutting off further discussion, agreed to a motion to ad journ. A page and a half of the bill were pushed through committee this evening. This is almost as much space as the bouse in committee has dis posed of in all previous sittings. A WAY THEY HAVE IN PARIS. Police Driven from the Charity Hospital at the Pistol’s Point. Paris, July 6.—The action of the po lice in making the arrests at the Charity Hospital yesterday, which brought forth a letter of protest from Prof. German See, has caused the most intense anti police agitation in professional and other circles. The first dispatches stating that convalescent patients had hissed the po lice from the windows of the hospital and had been arrested for so doing were incorrect. It transpires that Police Com missary Dhers, who was in charge of a body of gendarmes that had been strug gling with the rioters in the vicinity of the hospital, heard somebody in the”hos pital hissing the police. He ordered the arrest of six house surgeons, but when his subordinates attempted to carry out the order the surgeons shut and locked the hospital doors. They refused to open them when ordered to do so by the police, and the latter, determined to make arrests and very angry because of the resistance to them burst the doors in and assaulted the surgeons, who were standing in the vestibule. Two of the surgeons were placed in custody and taken to the Prefecture, where M. Loze, the Prefect of Police, ordered that they be at once released. This further angered the police, and shortly afterward several officers returned to the hospital and seized Prof. Villejean a noted physician and chemical analyst, and struck him violently. Several sur geons, witnessing this entirely uncalled for assault, attempted to defend the pro fessor. The police turned on them and handled them very roughly, inflicting se rious injuries on three or four of them. The hospital was in an uproar at the brutal manifestation of police spite, and the hospital staff determined to drive the police out of the building. Some of the surgeons procured revolvers, and at their muzzles compelled the police to with draw. This morning a number of high offi cials, deeply indignant at the police, in tervened in the matter and demanded of the government that the hospital be pro tected against further intrusion by police endeavoring to redress personal griev ances. Quietness prevails throughout the city today, but there has been no diminution of the extremely bitter feel ing entertained against the police. The authorities, civil and military, are on the qui vive, and the districts of the city in which further trouble may occur are closely patrolled. Against the Repeal. Helena, Mont., July 6.—The Mon tana silver conference met here today and passed resolutions against the repeal of the Sherman law without the passage of some other coinage measure. Closed the Doors. Omaha, Neb., July 6.—The National Bank of Ashland, closed its doors this forenoon. The closing of the Omaha Delightful Bottled at the and Apollinaris Spring Refreshing Rhenish Prussia.

Alarming Report of the Damage by a Cyclone in Ioira, Des Moines, la., July 6.—It is re ported here tonight from Solley, eight miles distant, that a cyclone struck Pomeroy early in the evening and swept away half the buildings in town, and injured a large number of people.

July 8.—Palestine Com mandery, K. T., of Belfast, and DeVa lois Commandery, K. T., of Vinalhaven, are the guests of Claremont Command ery in this city. The first day of the re ception has been one of prolonged en joyment, and the weather, which prom ised so ill early in the morning, all that the most exacting could wish. The visit ing commanderies on the steamer Gover nor Bodwell from Vinalhaven, and the Florence from Belfast, arrived at Till son’s wharf at 10.30 a. m., where they were received by Clarement Command ery, and the parade began. The march up Sea street to Main, and over the sub sequent route to Rankin block, was a most beautiful pageant, and the sun emerging from the frowning clouds smiled serenely on the marching hosts. After marching up Beech street, past numerous houses decorated in honor of the event, a halt was made at the resi dence of Sir Knight Frank C. Knight, whp as Rockland’s chief magistrate de livered up to the visitors the City’s keys. Here the Commanderies were delight fully entertained for nearly an hour, a light lunch being served. Another stop was made on Middle street at the beau tifully decorated residence of Eminent Sir W. A. Allbee, Past Commander. Here followed an informal reception given by the Ladies’ Committee of which Mrs. Allbee was chairman, and the Sir Knights were not allowed to depart with out first having been the recipients of bouquets. At the foot of Middle street electric cars were taken for Camden and the visitors enjoyed an hour’s ride among what they called Maine’s finest scenery. Dinner was served at the Bay View Hotel, followed by a parade over the principal streets. On the return a brief stop was made at the residence of Sir Herbert L. Shepherd of Rockport. The Bay Point hotel has been the scene of festivities tonight in the shape of a banquet followed by a grand ball, the Sir Knights in full uniform. THE DUKE HARD UP. Generous Chicagoans Propose to Prevent Veragua’s Ruin. Chicago, July 6.—The friends and advisers of the Duke of Veragua in this country having learned that his finan cial affairs in Spain are in such condition as to threaten the loss of his entire es tate, have decided to raise a considera ble fund for the benefit* of his family. Hon. Thomas W. Palmer has consented to act as chairman of the committee to recive subscriptions. Letters from Mad rid state the beautiful residence of the Duke in that city with the furniture, many valuable works of art and the en tire library has been seized by creditors while he was in Chicago. HAS THE RHEUMATISM. President Cleveland 111 at His Summer Home. Buzzard’s Bat, Mass., July 6.—Presi dent Cleveland has arrived here and is suffering with rheumatism in his feet and knees, a complaint from which he has suffered for many years, and which no doubt is aggravated at this time by hard work and the severe strain to his strength which the President has under gone since the 4th of March. Colonel Lamont said tonight that the President’s illness was not of a Berious character. Surgeon General Bryant says the President must have absolute rest and quiet. The President will remain through July, and will give necessary attention only to any official business of importance that may come from Wash ington. The Symphony’s New Deader.

GREETINGS FROM MANY LANDS TO THE MONTREAL GATHERING. Yesterday’s Sessions of the United Society in the Great Drill Hall and Mammoth Tent—Secretary Baer Names the "Win ners of the Banners—Some of the In teresting Things Dr. Clark Told His Young Co-Workers. Montreal, July 6.—The Christian Endeavor meetings today were enormous filling the great drill hall and mommoth tent. The board of trustees of the United Society met this afternoon and chose three new members. Rev. Canon Richard son of London, Ont., representing the Church of England in Canada; Rev. J. M. Lowden of Boston, representing the Free Baptists of New England, and George Lewis Howe of Louisville, Ky., repre senting the Southern Presbyterians. The trustees selected San Francisco as the meeting place for 1896. This evening Rev. Francis E. Clark, D. D., president of the United Society of Christian En deavor made an address and John W.Baer, general secretary of the United Society, read his annual report. Mr. Baer read his report in the tent while Dr. Clark was sneakin'! in the hall. Dr. Clark. after speaking in the hall, went to the tent and repeated the address. Hr. Baor reported that the prize banner for the greatest absolute gain in numbers for the year was awarded to the Penn sylvania delegation which mustered 600 strong. New Mexico’s delegates received the banner for the greatest proportionate gain in Christian Endeavor membership. Prize banners were awarded Illinois, New York and the District of Columbia for increases in junior society member ship. Dr. Clark’s-Address. In his address, after speaking of the growth of the society, Dr. Clark said: Let us go so far as to suggest two or three “larger things” for the year to come, which I believe may well occupy the thoughts, the prayers, the energies, of all the endeavorers. One of these advance steps that we may take is the cultivation of a larger and more intelligent spirit of patriotism and good citizenship. How shall this be done? By all joining as a society some one political party? Not unless we know of some party that embraces all the saints and none of the rascals; one that is always right and never wrong. But, whether you are a Democrat or a Repub lican, a third party man or a Populist, a Blue or a Grit,it can be done by bringing your vote and your influence—for your influence, fair Endeavorers, is often as powerful as your brother’s vote—to the test of the Christian Endeavor pledge. You have promised in that “to do what ever He would like to have you do”; then vote as He would like to have you vote; then you will not knowingly vote for a bad man or a bad measure; and if need be, you will sacrifice your pstrty rather than your principles. When politicians realize that men with principles are watching their nomina tions, they will not dare put up a bad man for your suffrage, for they will real ize what so many of the secular papers expressed last summer after the wonder ful convention in New York city; that there is a new moral force in this country that must be reckoned with. Go to the principles of your party, and take your Christian Endeavor pledge with you. Go to the caucus; get into the legislature; stand for Congress or Parliament; but, when you get there, for God and the church ana your country do what He would like to have you do. So, in humbler ways, let your influence be felt for every right cause. I am glad, for one, of the stand that Endeavorers have taken for the Christian and the American Sabbath. I believe that the course of the society on this question has set an example that we may wisely fol low in the future. We have proved, for one thing, that we are not boycotters, whatever ill-natured people may say. There is a suspicion of lawlessness in that word, borrowed from the bogs of old Ireland. It is not our word, nor does it express our attitude. We protested and petitioned; we did everything that we could, as individuals and societies, to save the nation from the threatened disgrace; and now we, each one for himself, without judging others, urill rlonirla nrli o f XT A mmiLl 1-. n regard to going to the Exposition or staying away from it. Let it be understood that there is no power or wish in the Endeavor Society to compel uniformity, or to force the conscience of its members in regard to the World’s Fair or any other subject. This convention can pass no votes or resolutions that are binding upon indi viduals or societies, nor can any state or local union, but it can and should lead us, in this and every such matter, more fully to recognize our individual respon sibility as citizens, as well as Christian men and women. Some phase of this very important subject of good citizen ship, viewed from our Christian stand point, may well occupy our attention at more than one of our society prayer meetings, and at more than one local union gathering of the year to come. How may we become better citizens? How may we be truer patriots? Let us give to these questions a worthy answer. Another important enlargement for the year to come is an enlargement and more practical exemplification of the missionary spirit. I may as well confess it now and here, one great object of my long journey of nearly forty thousand miles across land and sea, a journey that lias been no sum mer holiday trip, has .been to make, if possible, more concrete the demands of your brothers mid sisters in all lands,and to kindle your missionary zeal into a larger and brighter blaze, and to increase manyfold your gifts to missions. If this might be the result, L should feel that the journey had not been a mile too long. As I speak to you I can in imagina tion, see myriads of heathen hands held out to you for your Christ, for your Bible for your civilization. From, the crowd ed house-boats of the Canton river; from the thronging wretchedness of the nar row streets of Shanghai; from the eager millions of Japan, who are deciding be tween Christ and Buddah and material istic infidelity, for whom, as a nation, some think that the great decision will practically be made before men date their letters January 1,1900; from the i dry baked plains of Southern India, from the jungles of Northern India, from wretched Mohammedan cursed Egypt, Syria and Turkey, from sunny Italy, from awakening Spain, from the pleas ant land of France, from all comes the cry of unconscious need and want. If the needs on the one little province of Macedonia could appeal so loudly to the Apostle of old, in what thunder tones should all these countries speak to you Christian Endeavorers. I would bring you their message; I would interpret their cry, “Come over and help us; come over and help us?” If you cannot go you can send. You must go or send. Money is as much needed as men and women, perhaps more, just now, for the recont great missionary re vival has touched the hearts of conse crated young people more than it has touched the pocketbooks of the average Christian. May it not be the glad mission of the Christian Endeavor Society to introduce a new era of benevolence, not to perpetaute the grudging dole that has been wrung from tight fists 'in the past, a meagre of fering that will never evangelize the world; but to bring in an era of porpor tionate and systematic giving as God hath prospered us. Who will join me this year in a pledge of proportionate giving, of at least one tenth of what God may give us? III. One more definite, tangible, all important purpose I would present to Endeavorers for the coming year—an en largement and cementing of our inter denominational, international fellow ship. Could there be a more appropri ate year for this than when, for the first time, our convention is held in a sister country, outside the limits of the United States? Ours has a spiritual union. It seeks no organic unity; it demands no uniform ity of creed or polity; it sneers at no conscientious differences of opinion; it Inslcfe nil n.%, n. lAtrolfw of each society to its own church and de nomination. It is a union in service: there is the “Endeavor;” it is a union of spirit and fidelity to the one Master: there is the “Christian.” It is expressed by our name “Christian Endeavor,” which is the only guarantee of our prin ciples, the only outward and visible tok en of the inward and spiritual union. This has indeed been an auspicious year for our world-wide fellowship. I bring you, my friends, the greetings from your fellow Endeavorers in all lands. I rejoice to be the personal bearer of personal greetings from per sonal friends to personal friends. The first vessel that I saw in Australian waters’ was a steam launch. bearing two penants the stars and stripes and the Y. P. S. C. E. flag. That "flag waved for you; that international greetings was for you. As we sailed away from Brisbane, after speaking to more than seventy au diences of Endeavorers during six busy and happy weeks in that vast island con tinent, the last sound that greeted our ears was the same song that we heard floating from the San Francisco docks, “God be with you till we meeting again.” The song was for you as well as for us who heard it. I bring you greetings from the Chris tian Endeavorers of Japan, from Yoko hama, and Tokyo from Kyoto and Kobe, from Osaka and Okayama. In all these cities and many others are young hearts linked to yours by the supreme tie of Christian service. From the Endeavor society of the stately Christian univer sity, the Doshisha of Kyoto, and alike from the humble society of little orphan boys that holds its meetings in the re generated Buddhist temple of Okayama. I bring you greeting. China’s Endeavorers greet you today. From the Society of the South Gate Church of Shanghai, where the Juniors meet in another old heathen temple, from the printers’ society of the mission press, from the “drum-and-rouse-up” Endeavor sooiety of Foochow, from the Christian girls and boys of Canton, whore Mr. Fulton works, I am the bearer of good tidings. India’s Endeavorers greet you. They speak many tongues—Tamil and Talugu and Bengali and Hindi and Hindostanee and Marathi; but in all of these tongues they tell of one purpose, of one pledge, of one motto, of one fellowship. Syrian and Turkish Endeavorers greet you. They are persecuted and hindered; their name, even, is under the ban; and their meetings are broken up and their organization in many places forbidden by tyrannical rulers; but their hearts are not chilled, nor their purpose cooled, nor their love to Christ subdued, nor their fellowship with you sundered by the persecutions that they endure. Black-eyed Spanish Endeavorers greet you. The land from which Columbus sailed is linked by another tie, the tie of Christian Endeavor, in this anniversary year, to the land that Columbus discov ered. French Endeavorers greet you. World Jl HJ.10 ID UUII OU TT VllUtJ uiuv MV tive, spiritually-minded Endeavor socie ties cannot flourish there as well as in Philadelphia or Toronto. English, Scotch and Irish Endeavorers greet you. Within a year our societies ave increased from less than three hun dred to nearly seven hundred in the United Kingdom. One of the divisions of the Methodist denomination in Great Britain has just led the way by adopting and approving Christian Endeavor, pure and simple, as its young people’s organization. And this leads me to say that interdenomina tionally in all parts of the world, as well as internationally has our cause advanced during the year past as never before. I regret to say that in my own land, alone of all the lands that I have visited, in one or two sections of the Christian church is Christian Endeavor still looked upon as an alien interloper, and our fel lowship is discouraged if not forbidden. But this shadow need not drive away the sunshine of greetings that I bring to you from many lands and many lang uages. Nor need it obscure the great principle that I verily believe God would have us stand to—the principle of inter denominational spiritual fellowship. BRIEFLY TOLD. Guy de Maupassant, the French writer, is dead. One hundred and eight dead bodies have been taken from the Thorn hill mine. A slight earthquake shock was felt in the country around Worcester, Mass.-, Wednesday night.

The (Committee of seven was appointed by the chair. UNEMPLOYED SWARM THE DOCKS. Wretched Australians Trying to Steal Their Way to America.

Augusta, July 6.—Deputy United States Marshal Burton Smith of Port land, came to Augusta and arrested Jo seph, alias Phillip Gilbert, an employe of the Edwards Manufacturing Compa ny, on charge of violating the alien labor contract law as agent of the company. Gilbert was brought before United States Commissioner W. S. Choate at 11.45, and the case was continued until afternoon. Gilbert was released on bail furnished by the company. District At torney Dyer appeared for the govern ment and Anson M. Goddard for the re spondent. It is the first case of the kind in Maine and is creating much excitement. It was worked up by Immigration In spector Frederick A. Woodbridge of Newport, Yt. The charge is that the company has been in this practice for years of hiring help in lower Canada in defiance of the law. The hearing was resumed this afternoon. Witnesses were examined showing probable cause that Gilbert had violated the statute. It was shown that he had been in Black Lake, Canada, and subsequently a number of families came to Augusta. After seeing him they were given work by the Edwards Company. The defence developed that no definite contract had been made. The prosecution rested the case under the clause of the statute prohibiting the giving of enc mragement to persons to enter the country to obtain work. Mr. Goddard requested the commissioner to discharge Gilbert at once. Mr. Dyer urged that there was sufficient evidence to warrant holding Gilbert until the fall term of the District Court at Portland, to await the action of the grand jury. The commissioner took the case under advisement, the decision to be returned July 22 at 10 a. m. at Augusta. BASE BALL. Brocktons Today.

Two Great Races Trotted at Old Orchard Yesterday. The 2.28 and 2.26 Class—Miss Myrtle Peek’s Wonderful Riding—Close of the Knox Circuit Meeting—They Suspend Business Down There to Go and See the Races. The second day’s races of the Maine Breeders’ Association July meeting came off yesterday afternoon, at the Old Or chard kite track. The track was in fine condition, the weather bright and warm, but a high northwest wind was unfavor able for fast time. The grand stand and grounds were filled with people, the crowd number ing upwards of 3000. A band from Bid deford ehtertained the visitors with ex cellent music. The judges in the stand were the same as on the previous day—Isaiah Fompilly of Lewiston, Dr. George H. Bailey lof Portland, and E. H. Greeley of Ells worth. William A. Whittier was clerk. The races were for the 2.28 and 2.26 classes. 2.28 Class. The first race called was the 2.28 class, and six horses started. Captain Scott had the pole. The first heat was a live ly one, the first horse going to the half mile pole in 1.13, and increasing the pace on the last half. Some of the trotters were quite unsteady, but Nelson’s Fred Wilkes never lifted his nose, and Nelson claimed the heat,, but after due delibera tion the judges awarded it to Quartette, with Fred Wilkes second, Grace third, Gene Briggs fourth, Captain Scott fifth and Watson sixth. Time—2.25$. T?/-*•*. +V.O. 1__i away well together, Quartette leading and closely followed by Wilkes. The balance of the field were strung out. Quartette made two breaks and a revo lution on the home stretch and again there was a protest against his skips, but the judges decided the positions as follows: Quartette first, Fred Wilkes second, Gene Briggs third, Grace fourth, Watson fifth and Capt. Scott sixth. Time 2.213-4. The third heat was a fighting race, with a very close and exciting termina tion. Quartette lead, but made a gainy skip and repeated it. Gene Briggs went up to second place and Fred Wilkes made a long, losing break. Nelson set tled him, however, and he trotted fast, passing Briggs and making a great ef fort for the heat on the home stretch. Wilkes had got to Quartette’s neck as they shot under the wire. The judges, after a long consultation, awarded the heat to Fred Wilkes for the reason that Quartette had made two gaining breaks. The positions thus awarded were Fred Wilkes first. Quartette second. Grace third, Gene Briggs fourth, Watson fifth, and Capt. Scott sixth. Time 2.24. For the fourth heat the horses went away at a rattling pace and in good form. Wilkes led, bat a break, which is a los ing one with him, enabled the nimble skipping and fast trotting Quartette to take the lead and hold it to the end, thus winning the long and well-fought race amidst the applause of his numer ous Saco friends. The positions in this deciding heat were Quartette first, Gene Briggs second, Grace third, Watson fourth, Fred Wilkes fifth and Capt. Scott sixth. Time 2.24J. The $500 purse was divided as follows: First money to Quartette, second to Fred Wilkes, third to Gene Briggs and fourth to Grace. The following is the summary: 2.28 CLASS—FUKSE $600.

It was one of the greatest finishes ever made on any track, four horses going under the wire all level and at full speed, almost neck to neck, shoulder to shoulder. The po sitions awarded were Fargo 1, George K. 2, Little Chief 3, Free Trade 4, Lady Lo gan 5, Dennison Wilkes 6, Testator 7. Time 2.224. When the sign was hung out it was re ceived with applause, it being fast for that class of horses in that strong wind. In the second heat Free Trade led to the half mile, but as they swung into the home stretch he was collared and passed by Fargo after an exciting brush. There was another lively and close finish, five horses well bunched. The plaoes won were Fargo 1, Free Trade 2, Geo. K. 3, Little Chief 4, Dennison Wilkes 5, Lady Logan 6 and Testator 7. Time 2.24$. The third and final heat was another good one. Fargo led to the latter part of the long turn at the top of the kite, where he was passed by Little Chief, and the pole captured, but Fargo pushed on the home stretch and recovered the lead, winning by a length. The places were Fargo 1, Little Chief 2, Geo. K. 3, Free Trade 4, Lady Logan 5, Dennison Wilkes 6, Testator 7. Time. 2.22$. This ended the 2.26 race and the $300 purse was awarded, first money to Far go- second to George K, third to Little Chief, and fourth to Free Trade.

During the afternoon the stallion Nel son was exhibited in a road cart upon the track in front of the grand stand but was not speeded. Mr. Nelson announced that on Friday he would drive his horse a fast mile. Myrtie Peek rode her fast running pair of thoroughbreds in what is termed the Roman standing act Despite the wind she made the mile in 1.52 1-2—she stand ing up with a foot resting upon either horse. Slie also rode her trained horse New York, and had a double pair run ning raoe against her manager, Myrtie riding in the first pole bicyole sulky for a pair of horses ever made. She also ran a quarter of a mile against her rider less trained horse. The pretty and dar ing brunette contributed much to the entertainment of the spectators. Today’s programme is the 2.31 and 2.45 classes; the great stallion Nelson to make a fast mile and Myrtie Peek with her thoroughbred horses in various feats. Note*. The favorites were not winners in eith er of the races. Nelson says he expects to beat all pres ent stallion records by September next by driving the great Maine stallion in Z.VI. The horse Quartette, winner of the 2.28 class, was bred by Dr. George H. Bailey of Portland, who sold him when he was three years old, he having shown no indication of satisfactory trotting speed up to that age. In John F. Haines’s string of sixteen horses which he has in training at the Old Orchard track is the Portland mare Jessie H., owned by Henry Dresser. At her work yesterday morning she dropped in a third quarter in a third mile in 33* seconds—or a 2.14 clip. Mr. Haines thinks Jessie will go inside of 2.20 this season. BUSINESS WAS SUSPENDED. The Way They Get Crowds at Kaces in Knox County. [Special to the Press.] Rockland, July 6.—Fully 2500 people saw the races at Knox driving park to day, business being almost entirely sus pended in some of the neighboring towns. The races were those postponed from the fourth of July and marked the close of the Knox circuit. The card was one of the most attractive ever presented here, the events being well contested. Especially was this the case with the 2.50 class which required five heats for its settlement. It looked like a victory for Olympus, Jr., ex-Attorney General Little field’s bay at the start but Gushee’s Honora pulled out thuee very pretty straight heats at the finsh. Hastings’s Harmoun won the 2.35 race in handsome shape, while Lady Grant made a strong bid for second money and would have won it but for the smashing of the sulky in the third heat. In the 2.28 class Berry’s Otto won hands down, almost distancing the field in the last heat, This heat was won in 2.28*, breaking the track record by nearly two seconds. The track was in splendid condition, hut a heavy head wind blew on the third quarter. The summaries: 2.50 class—purse $76.

The earth’s age, like that of the pro verbial spinster, must, I suppose, be deemed uncertain, or at least (as in the case of the census paper) we must allow a fair margin for probabilities. The geolo gists on the one hand are supposed to make very big drafts indeed on the bank over which Father Time presides; while the physicists on the other hand insist on more moderate demands being formu lated. The latest explorer in this field of inquiry is Mr. Clarence King, a well known American geologist, who seems to lean to the side of the physicists in this matter. Of course everybody starts with the earth as a gaseous mass and every body gets to the earth as a cooling globe, which is certain in time to become a burnt out cinder like the moon. From researches on the effects of heat and pressure as applied to a cooling orb, Mr. King concludes that Lord Kelvin’s estimate of the earth's age is very near the mark. Awarding to Mr. King the age of our world is to b® tot down aanot exceeding some 24*000,01$ ygars, which, I venture to say, jp so entirely unthinka ble a number that nobody.may feel in tellectually perturbed if a few millions more be added or a few miliums be sub tracted from the amount.,—rj>r. Andrew Wilson in London Illustrated Nows, IN THE CHAPEL ROYAL. The Brilliant Wedding of the Duke of York and Princess Mary. London, July 6.—The marriage of the Duke of York and Princess Victoria Mary of Teck took place at 12.30 today, in the Chapel Royal, St. James’s Palace. The weddiDg was a brilliant function, and was attended by a large gathering of the members of the British royal family, continental sovereigns or then representatives, and many members of the highest nobility. The weather was beautiful, and if there is any truth in the old proverb, “Happy is the bride whom the sun shines on,” the new Duchess of York will be exceedingly happy, for a more splendid day has sel dom been seen in London. Great orowds gathered along the line of the route from Buckingham Palace, through Piccadilly, St. James street and Marlborough gate to the garden entrance to St. James’s Palace. The decorations along the line of the royal procession were profuse and beautiful. The road way was kept open by troops in their glittering uniforms, by Middlesex yeo manry and by the police. The scene was full of life and move ment, and the ceremony eclipsed in pomp and splendor any recent state cere monial in connection with the British court The royal party left Buckingham Pal ace in four processions, the first convey ing the members of the household and distinguished guests. The next proces sion included the Duke of York and his supporters, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh. The bride came in the third procession, accompanied by her father, the Duke of Teck, and her brother, Prince Adolphus of Teck. The last procession was that of the Queen, who, accompanied by the Duchess of Teck, her younger sons, and the Grand Duke of Hesse, drove in state to the ceremonial. Each procession was accompanied by a T.it'e Hoards escort, and in addition r.n this the Queen had an escort of Indian native and Australasian horse. Her Majesty rode in the handsome glass coach used at the opening of parliament and on state occasions. The cheering as the royal carriage drove forward was im mense. The Archbishop of Canterbury, as sisted by the other clergy, performed the ceremony, the bride being given away by her father. The magnificent gilt sacra mental plate, the central alms dish of which is said to have been manufactured in the reign of Charles I,,and is valued at $50,000, was displayed upon the altar, which was decked with the choicest flowers. □Bridal gifts were received from all parts of the British dominions. The Duke of York’s present to his bride con sisted of an open-pstalled rose in pearls and diamonds, and a five-row pearl neck lace. The pearls are not exceptionally large, but they are perfectly pure in col or and splendidly matched. The Duke and Duchess of Teck gave to their daughter a suite of jewels, comprising tiara, necklet and brooch, of turauoises and diamonds. Much has been said regarding the op position of the Princess of Wales to tbe marriage, it being stated that she did not approve of her son marrying the girl who had been engaged to his brother, even though that brother was dead. The present given by the Princess of Wales should put to rest these rumors, for it is doubtful if a more valuable gift was ever given by any one on a similar occa sion. The princess’s gift consisted most ly of jewelry and precious stones, the whole being valued at £250,000 ($1,250, 000.) After the wedding the royal party re turned to Buckingham Palace where De jeuner was served. The dejeuner iwas very social, royalty for the time putting aside its prerogatives and entering fully into the joyousness of the occasion. The toasts were drunk with all honors, nearly two hours spent at table. At 4.30, the Duke and Duchess bade adieu to the Queen and the other relatives and left the palace for Sandringham in an open carriage drawn by f^ur horses. The route to the railway station was literally black with humanity. The carriage was escorted by squadrons from the Life Guards and Lancers. As the carriage drove off the Queen and all the mem bers of the royal party stood upon the balcony over the grand entrance and waved good byes to the bridal couple. Along the four miles of route from the palace to the Li verpool street station, the royal couple received an unbroken ovation. The main part of the route was guarded by troops. The carriage was riven along slowly, enabling the popu lace to get a good view of the Duke and Duchess. When they reached' St. Paul’s, Lord Mayor Stuart Knill and the sheriffs of London met them and presented to the Duke and his bride an address of wel come to the city. The Duke made a short reply to the address and the pro cessed moved on to the station which was reached at six. HUNTING ASTEROIDS. AKfonomloal Sport That I* Being Bobbed of Part of Its Pleasure. There was a time when the hunting of asteroids was the athletic sport with Which the tired astronomer refreshed his mind and muscles. Wearied with pro longed calculations as to the weight of a ton of coals on the surface of Jupiter or the density of beer on the surface of the sixth moon of Uranus and with his right arm and fingers cramped and numbed from the excessive use of chalk and blackboard, the astronomer would take his telescope and in the bright, crisp winter night stalk the timid asteroid through the starry jungles of the skies. It was not often that he made a suc cessful bag. Sometimes he would hunt night after night for weeks before cap turing a single asteroid, but he was al ways buoyed up by the hope of game, and when he did bring down an aste roid with his breechloading reflector, his small but handy refractor, and was enabled to make a present of its ele ments to a favorite fellow astronomer he was Indeed a proud and happy man. But this fine old astronomical sport is at an end. The asteroid trapper with his photographio trap is abroad, and there is every reason to believe that in the course of a very few years at the fur thest every existing asteroid will have been captured. method of the trapper js as simple as it is unsportspiauU&e. He sets his camera at nightfall and goes home to his family ui$J the following morning. A clockwork attachment gives a motion to the oamera identical with the apparent metlpn of the fixed stars, so that the im age? of tfip latter never vary tjjefr places oaihe sensitive slate. When, however, tne trapper finds a faint but prolonged line of light extend ing over the plate, he knows that it is the trail of an asteroid, and lie at once proceeds to complete its capture by giv ing it a name and calculating its ele ments. The unsuspeoting asteroids who had long ago grown shy of the telescope have not yet discovered the existence of the camera traps, and they are captured in alarming numbers. It is quite usual for a trapper to report the capture of four or five asteroids in a single night. It is true that he rarely makes any dis tinction between the traces made by an asteroid and the marks on the plate due to imperfections in the emulsion or to scratches made during development. In his greed he treats all marks as as teroids that come to his trap, and there can be no doubt that a certain propor tion of the asteroids recently named and given a place in the solar system havene existence outside of the photographic plate, where the trapper fancied that he had detected their trail. Still it is evident that the traps are nightly capturing an enormous number of asteroids, and unless something is done for their preservation this variety of celestial game will sooner or later be come as extinct as the American buffalo. To the average man it may seem to be a matter of very little consequence how asteroids are captured, but to those who are familiar with astronomers and who have their welfare and that of their wives and families at heart the prospect that legitimate asteroid hunting is about to become impossible is alarming. If the tired astronomer can no longer keep up his health and spirits by beat ing the milky way for asteroids his health must inevitably suffer. Physi cians are agreed that astronomy, if habitually indulged in, is peculiarly ex hausting to the nerves. Indeed the con firmed and excessive astronomer is in variably irritable and quarrelsome, even in spite of the tonic influence of asteroid hunting. If that resource should no longer be open to him, his condition will be simply pitiable, and such a thing as an astro nomic home will be utterly unknown. The astronomer’s only recreation will be found in contradicting the theories and denying the discoveries of other astrono mers, and the meeting of an astronomic al society would be a scene of wild up roar mingled with flying slates and lumns of chalk.—'Washington Star.

THE PROSE OF POETRY. His poem had bean writ And brought him gold. Filled full o£ lofty thought. Of noble purpose aud Of brilliant wit. Of sentiment and soul; Of music, unattuned. It turned the mystic key Uliat fits the lock of wealth. It was a picture Wrought in words; A star plucked from The aky of mind; A white rose from The garden of the heart. And yet It was not these To iiffi Between its splendid lines __ He found a suit of olothes. Its periods rounded out to him A plate of soup, A roast of beef, A piece of pie. Its rhythmic flowing feet Wore shoes for him; Its soul Went to his stomach. And its sentiment Gave him a bed on which to sleep And dream the poet’s dream; Its measure and its melody. Its waking and its wretchedness. —Will J. Lampton in New York Sun. THE GOLDEOEM. Not long ago it happened that I had two hours to wait for a train at Casa Grande station on the Southern Pacific railway. Stepping into a saloon near the track, I got into conversation with a shaggy looking native, who proved to be an old prospector somewhat the worse for wear. As he seemed communicative, and I was willing to listen to a yam or two to kill time, 1 had the barkeeper place a blaok bottle and the requisite glasses cm a oard table near the stove, and with my new acquaintance as a vis jrvis 1 listened to the following tale, which I have endeavored to write down as nearly in Mb own language as possi ble, merely omitting the numerous epi grams with which he interrupted his dis course: “It was last fall that me and Bill Stump got acquainted up at Prescott. We’d both of us just quit work at the mines and had pretty near $100 apiece. We tooled armkid the saloons most of the buokin a little at the faro game, and finally we made it up to be pards on a prospectin trip to find some new diggin’s. day we bought four burros, two to ride and two to pack, loaded up with grub an things, and lit out. “Next evenin we was camped at sun down about 30 miles west in a dark little piney canyon and was gettin supper. Bill was moukeyin round the campfire |with the coffee and bacon, and I was sit tin with my back against a pine tree and a sack of beans ’tween my knees, pickin borne of ’em over to put on for breakfast. There was pretty plenty gravel and stones in the beans, an’ I was cussin considerable, when I found somethin 'queer among ’em. It was agold nugget, just the shape as a bean, only abont four times as big. ‘Bill,’ says I, ‘if here ain’t a $7 nugget in these beans, I’ll be blank ety blanked!’ Bill he comes up and grabs it and gets to studyin over it. ‘Joe,’ says he after a bit, ‘Joe, I know jest how that thar nugget got thar.’ Poor Bill jwas always great on explainin things. 'Well, fire away,’ says I. ‘It’s this way,’ says Bill. ‘I’ve been among the greasers considerable, and I knows their ways. Them beans was raised by greas ersj thaf b why they’re so full of gravel and dirt. You see the greasers thrash lout the beans right in the field where they growed, and winner ’em by tossin ’em up in the air so the wind blows away ‘the chaff. Then thdy shovel ’em into sacks right off the ground, ta.lrin up some gravel at the same time. Now jthat thar nugget proves that the ground where them beans was growed is good placer ground, and all we’ve got to do is to find out who sold ’em first and then find where his ranch is. When we find that bean patoh, we’U find good pay dirt, sure, ’cos where nuggets like this are lyin round loose there’s bound to be good diggin’s.’ 1 “Well, we was a good deal excited over it and lay awake most of the night talkin it over an makin plans. Next mornin we was packed up and started back for Prescott by daylight. Bill said we must,not use them beans, but keep the sack just as it was so’s the party that sold it would know it again. So we sewed it up and took note of a queer mark on one side of it. It was a cross inside of a cirole as bier as mv hand. I we thought that would help us find the fellar that sacked the beans, and sure enough it did. “We hadn’t bought the beans at a store, but from a freighter that was camped with his 4-horse team and two wagons in the corral where we got our burros, so when when we got to Prescott we went straight back to the corral. There we got our first setback. The freighter—his name was Pike—had left the day before for the Verde copper mines to look for a load. It was 30 miles, and it’s slow work travelin with donkeys, so we was the best part of two days gettin there, and found we was out o’ luck again. Pike couldn’t get any load there, so he had gone on down to Camp Verde, in tendin to go over to Camp Apache, £50 miles further. “Bight there I wanted to give it up, but Bill wouldn’t have it. ‘Who cares for a few hundred miles, more or less,’ says he, ‘with all that gold piled up at the end of it. Why, next year we’ll be ridin in our fine carriages in Frisco.’ All the time 1 was with Bill I never could get the best of him in an argument, so I gave in. But if poor Bill could ’er known that a tough tramp of 1,000 miles was in front of us. with grim death waitin for him at, the other end, he wouldn’t’er bet-:: so hot to go on. “When we got down to Camp Verde, that pesky freighter was gone, of course, but we was gettin used to bein balked are! didn't mind much. In pretty good spirits we started out on the long, lonely trip through cho black pine forests of the Mogollon mountains. The next night we camped just under the ‘rimrock,’ and a mountain lion got away with our best burro. The poor donkey was hobbled ft and couldn’t fight or protect himself, am ■we never knew it till next morning when we found his body about half eatei up 200 yards from the campfire. This lef us with only one saddle animal, and fron that on we took turns riding. It was ai awful tiresome road through those mile of timber, but we kept a-goin every da; and only camped at night. Turkey wa as thick as chickens in a barnyard, am now and then we jumped a bear. Dee was plenty, too, hut we didn’t stop ti hunt. We had only one idee, and tha was to catch np with that freighter i we had to follow him to Texas. “A week later, near the head of Blacl river, we was jumped by Apaches ani lost another buiTo. How was it? Well it was like this: The sun was about twc hours high when the trail went dowi into a deep, sandy canyon winding arounc between big bowlders of white granit11 K r Consultation in person or by letter.

We observe that Congressman Hen drix of Brooklyn, a Democrat like Con gressman Wheeler, is inclined to think that the best thing for a special, session to do is to authorize the suspension of the silver law. E. C. S. of the Argus should proceed to baste him. The Belfast Age speaks of that “infa mous Republican measure” the Sherman silver law. The Age should know that it was. Democrats that passed this meas ure in the Senate, the vote standing for the bill 27 Democrats and 15 Republi cans and against 3 Democrats and 19 Republicans. Perhaps the Age is par donable for its blunder, inasmuch as its regular editor has gone to Pictou and the amateur who is now running it has devoted his enegies for many years past largely to exploiting the virtues of high license. When an individual devotes his ener gies to a single object he is more likely to accomplish it than if he divides them among several. The same is true of a body ,of individuals, when concurrence among them is necessary to do a thing, as in the case of Congress. If Congress assembles in special session for the single purpose of improving our finan cial legislation and devotes its energies to that single purpose it may accomplish something. But if it comes together with the intention of tinkering the tariff, erecting a new banking system and doing a lot of other things besides settling the silver difficulty, proba bly it will fritter away several months to no good purpose. We can see how the opponents of the repeal of the Sherman law should want Congress to take up the tariff, for it is obvious that it will help them defeat repeal, but why the friends of repeal should encourage an attempt to tinker the tariff at the special session passes our comprehen sion. While believing that the Sherman law should be repealed Senator Chandler scouts the idea that it is responsible to any considerable extent for the present financial depression. “The distrust and misapprehension which, indeed, truly have already caused great loss and dam age to our people, and threaten to crip ple our merchants, stop the wheels of manufacture, bring distress and priva tion to our farmers and withhold from our workingmen the wages of labor, ex ist,” he says, “not at all because the treas ury buys each month 4,500,000 ounces of silver bullion instead of coining S,000,000 silver dollars; but they came solely and entirely from the election of Grover Cleveland and a majority of the two houses of Con gress upon a platform and a pledge that the McKinley act shall be repealed, and that all laws for the protection of Ameri can industries against foreign competi tion shall be deemed unconstitutional and revoked and annulled.” Senator Chandler says the only way to undo the mischief that has been done is for the Democratic party to formally and au thoritatively repudiate that portion of their platform that pledges the party to destroy the American system of protec tion—the system under which all our great Industries have been built up and upon which they thrived for many years and brought prosperity unparalleled to the people. TAMMANY’S CELEBRATION. Tammany seems to have failed to gather together many men of national prominence on the Fourth this year. Outside of Crisp, who came rather re luctantly, and McMillan there was no body of much national reputation, with the exception of the New York magnates who belong to the organization. The President wrote a letter, hut it contained nothing but a string of platitudes, of the regulation Fourth of July oration order condensed. Crisp said nothing of any importance, being non-committal on all the great questions of the day. Of course he arraigned the Republicans and attributed all the financial and business difficulties to them, after the manner of Democratic platforms, but beyond ex pressing an earnest hope that Congress would do something to relieve the finan cial situation, he gave his hearers no ink ling of what they might expect from the body over which it will probably be his honor to preside. Senator Hill did somewhat distinguish himself by saying something definite and understandable about silver, namely, that he should vote for the repeal of the Sherman law. The show would have been an exceed ingly dull one had it not been for the presence of the Hon “Champ” Clark of Missouri. Clark stirred the Indians up by declaring that the West had got tired of having Presidents furnished by the East, and would demand that the next Presi dent come from Missouri. Modesty probably prevented him from suggest ing his own name, but there is reason to believe that he may be had if wanted. Clark told the “braves” what “we” of the West want. “We want,” he said, “that miserable makeshift, the Sherman law, repealed.” But the Missouri states man by no means wanted it repealed un conditionally. Not by a large majority. He wanted free coinage substituted, or some arrangement that shall be practi oally its equivalent. He wanted, too, all the Republican office holders turned out and nothing but Democrats put on guard from Martha’s Vineyard to the Aleutian Islands, and from the Lake of the Woods to Dry Tortugas. Of course he wanted the pension roll purged until it became a roll of honor. He wanted an income tax, too, so “that ab normal wealth might bear its propor tional burden.” The money thus saved and collected Mr. Clark wanted expended in digging out the Western rivers, so that passenger and freight rates might be reduced, thus making it less expen. sive ior Mr. uiarx: to come to Tammany powwows in the future. It devolved upon Congressman Hen drix of Brooklyn to demolish the wild eyed Clark, and he went at it in a way that showed he relished the job. “We will give Mr. Clark of Missouri,” he said, “and all of the queer people in this section called Populists to understand that New York city and Brooklyn be lieve in the gold standard. We can’t ex periment with this question any longer. England, France, Germany and other countries have cecsed experiments. Un less our friends will come into Congress with that determination and with the resolution to settle this question with one blow, let me say to them as one of the gold bugs, if you please—one of the Wall street sharks if you please,—that business will be paralyzed throughout this country; that industry will be ham pered and the Democratic party will be cursed from Martha’s Vineyard to the Aleutian Islands. The voice of New York in this matter is the voice of ex perience, the voice of sanity, and we believe that what is good for New York is good for the whole country.” After Hendrix had mataphorically wiped up the earth with Clark the silver tougued Fellows gave his views of the Declaration of Independence, and indi rectly informed Gov. Altgeld of Illinois that his pardon of the Anarchists was not regarded by his fellow Democrats who wore kid gloves as a politic act." There was not a great amount of en thusiasm developed by the feast of reason, but it came after when the corks began to fly and the beer to fizz. STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST. Field strawberries are reported more plenty than for many years. A young French lad about six years of age was riding horseback across the bridge in Topham, at the rear of the Bowdoin paper mill on Friday evening, when the horse beoame frightened, reared and threw the boy over the bridge, a distance of about thirty feet. Striking in the water which runs at a terrific pace; the lad was carried about three hundred yards, from the place where he fell. Parties passing rendered him assistance and the young lad was taken out without a scratch, receiving no harm. Mr. J. P. Tucker of Bangor has just had a colt shod with aluminum shoes. The heaviest shoe weighs only 3 15-16 ounces. At the Bates commencement dinner Senator Frye related this anecdote of the late Leland Stanford and the retiring president of Bates, who is one of the most accomplished money raisers who ever went on the war path: “President Cheney came to me in Washington and wished me to introduce him to Senator Stanford. The East shook hands with the West. The result of the meeting was exactly what I expected. Senator Stanford was delighted with President Cheney, and gave him a check for $1,000. About four months afterward he came to my desk in the Senate chamber and told me he had just sold a colt for $8 500. He had already given $1,00(3 to an Iowa institution. He wanted to keep $500 for his own pocket money, and the remaining $7,000 he was going to send to President Cheney, for he was the best man he ever saw.” Nathaniel Bobbins Maxcy, a California pioneer, and a native of' North Sears mont, died at Los Angeles, on June 26t'n. Mr. Maxcy sailed from Belfast in 1849 in the bark W. O. Alden, with a large company of townsmen, the noted Dyer brothers being among them. They went around Cape Horn, being six months on the way to San Francisco. He mined in Placetville, Dutch Flat, Gold Hill, Don ner Lake, Narrow Bidge, for about ten years after which he went into trade. He has been located for sixteen years at Los Angeles. He leaves several rela tives in Maine, Massachusetts and the West, Maud S will be trained with the pneu matic bicycle sulky through the sum mer and until fall.

Wendell Phillips as a lecturer, and apart from his extraordinary power as a convention orator on occasions, was quite the most interesting, the most con vincing, the most polished and delight ful platform speaker that America has produced. He owed his success to his wit, to the most felicitous and incisive vocabulary, to the most melodious and entrancing voice and to his perfect com mand of himself and all his resources. He was never slovenly. He always brought his best thought most carefully arranged to his audience, and he never met an audience, even one hostile to him and his opinions, that he could not at length subdue to his potent influence. Nothing was left to chance. He would no more have produced an unfinished lecture than a great artist would have exhibited an unfinished pic ture. He respected his audience, and the audience always felt this. The sym pathy that he gained from it, even when it disagreed with him, was the more re markable because he never, or rarely ever, improvised. Yet he had such con summate art that he seemed to be im provising, the golden words apparently dropping freshly coined from the bril liant mint of his mind. He was eloquent without a single burst of cheap rhetoric. And of all orators on the platform he was the most convincing and plausible for the hour.—Charles Dudley Warner in Harper’s. Orcliidd la Guiana. In paddling up the smaller rivers of Guiana the visitor is struck with the beauty and variety of the orchids and other epiphytes perched on every limb and branoh above his head. Coming from a temperate climate, where only mosses, lichens and perhaps a fern or two can live under such circumstances, ne sees great arums wim rosettes oi leaves six or eight feet in diameter, crowded groups of hard leaved tilland sias, mistletoelike bunches of rhipsalis, orchids, ferns and mosses, all struggling for places where they can find room to enjoy life and propagate their species. In the dense gloom of the forest, where the branches interlace with each other, they cannot secure enough light, but wherever the continuity is broken by river or savannah the trees on the bor ders are decorated with a wealth of these interesting plants. From the river noth ing but a sloping bank of foliage is vis ible, but by paddling through the outer screen which comes down into the wa ter, a very pretty scene is revealed over head. Although the direct rays of the sun are shut out, there is generally suf ficient light for the epiphytes, and here they give qnite a festive appearance to what would, otherwise be a tangle of hare limbs and branches.—Longman's Magazine.

BOARD OF TRADE. Regular Monthly Meeting of the Mana gers Yesterday. The monthly meeting of the managers of the Board of Trade was held yester day morning, President Winslow in the chair. After the regular routine business, it was voted that the president be author ized to select a list of delegates to attend the annual meeting of the state Board of Trade, to be held at Belfast in Septem ber. Mr. F. A. Smith, from a sub-committee of the board of manufactures, reported a detailed account of investigations of one of our manufacturers seeking more capital to increase his business to meet the present demand for his products, and also recommended a firm to the favora ble consideration of persons who may desire to aid by subscription to its capi tal stock or otherwise, for the extension and encouragement of its business. The board unanimously adopted the report of the committee. President Winslow read these resolu tions adopted by the Louisville Board of Trade at a recent meeting: Resolved, That the act of Congress providing for the compulsory coinage of the silver dollar should be repealed. Resolved, That no more silver dollars should be coined until the Interchangeability and equality of silver dollars with gold coin upon a ratio fixed by law can be secured by agreement among the leadiug commercial countries ot the World. Resolved, That the Louisville Board of Trade reaffirms the position heretofore taken by It upon the silver question, and In the interest of the whole country, calls upon the representa tives aud senators in Congress to at once repeal the act of July 14, 1800, known as the Sher man law. On motion of Mr. Merrill it was voted that the communication from the Louis ville Board of Trade be placed on file, .-J __• i _±.1_„ SI J.L. n board be called at an early date, to be fixed by the president, to consider the matter of silver coinage, and the sub ject presented by the resolutions. Mr. Seth L. Larrabee moved that a special committee of five be appointed by the president to consider the subject introduced by the resolutions, and that a report and resolutions be formulat ed to be presented at the special meet ing. It was so voted. Mr. Marshall N. Rich, the secretary of the board, called attention to a fine por trait of ex-President Blabon, which Mr. Blabon presented in compliance to a re quest made some time ago. It was voted to accept the portrait, that the thanks of the board be extended to Mr. Blabon and that the portrait be assigned a prop er position on the walls of the room. J. R. Libby announces his semi-annual clearance sale which includes all departments, as will be seen by reference to his large adver tisement. These clearance sales, which occur twice a year, are a marked feature of this house, the object of which is to close out all goods that are likely to be come unseasonable, in order to keep the stock new and fresh each season. The goods at this time are marked greatly under value, and many people can sup ply their wants at small expense. MUNICIPAL COURT. BEFORE 3UDGE GOULD. Thursday—Arthur D. McDonald.

It was the aftenoon of a recent Satur day when two young Portland canoeists embarked with their small canvas boat upon the Maine Central train, enrouto for Sebago Lake station. They had de cided to go Saturday and return Monday morning because Sunday excursions of* that nature were pro tem admissible for them, since their mothers were both absent from home. They could quiet their own consciences by arguing that to worship nature occasionally on a Sunday is as acceptable as worship in a church edifice, but their mothers had a good old fashioned conviction to the contrary. They were to reach the lake station at about 4.30 p. m. and paddle the canoe to Frye’s Island, where they were to stay that night in the unoccupied house there. The next morning they were to paddle across to White’s bridge, at the source of the Presumpscot, thence by way of Out let Brook, over into Little Sebago Lake, thence through Collin’s Pond and Hitch Brook to Pleasant River and so into the Presumpscot. But unfortunately 'it was rainy Saturday afternoon. It was not “only a sea-turn” either, for as they ap proached the lake, the wind and rain in creased. Luckily on the same train was Harry Virgin Esq., of Portland, who was going up the lake to Northwest River in his steam launch and who kindly offered to take them along. Also Line Daniels the Portland taxidermist was on the train. He is an oracle where weather, fish, game etc. are concerned. Ho en couraged the canoeists by assurance that the wind would blow from the northeast the next day and the rain would cease. It was a long wet sail up the lake that evening. It poured most of the time and the waves were by no means contempti ble, but as the wooded shores at North west river and the various club houses there came clearly into view the clouds parted over the hills in the background and the red sky beyond gave promise of a clear morning. Our two explorers had decided that in their moist condition a warm supper 'and bed at Geo. Fitch’s house were preferable to their own house keeping at Frye’s Island. At Fitch’s they found Line Daniels. He had come around bv the train and the stage. He had been at Sebago seven weeks and had caught 27 salmon. He had gone home a day or two before intending to stay but he heard that the fish were beginning to bite again and decided to hasten back. He hai fished at Sebago for over twenty years regularly and has caught a great many salmon, but the fish are more in explicable than ever this year. They seem to be scattered all over the lake and likely to be caught anywhere, and quite as likely not to be. In previous years he has fished all the time for Jfive days without success and then gone out and caught five fish in a couple of hours, but nevertheless there seems to be more uncertainty this year than ever before. He promised to waken the young men at three the next morning as they needed an early start to cross the great bay in the calm of that early hour. They were in the water by 4.30 and their paddles were urging the light canoe in the direc tion of Frye’s Island, over five miles away. It had cleared and the wind had worked around towards the northwest as “Line” had predicted. The waves were not large and the paddlers did not realize that to cross that great bay in such a craft was a reckless undertaking under any conditions. These lakes are calm one hour and rough the next. They had proceeded about two miles and were well into the middle of the bay when the increasing winds and waves began to get unpleasantly boisterous. They tossed the light canoe like an egg shell. The water swept over her bow and stern, which were luckily covered with canvas for about four feet. The sky grew blacker; so did the water. The waves grew higher and the white caps angrier. It was necessary for the canoe to run before the waves and she did run nobly, urged by the paddles in strong and skilful young hands, to| which anx iety lent an added vigor. There are al ways some waves larger than the rest. There are generally three of them to gether. The canoeists were afraid of those waves. They would lift the canoe so that her bow would be completely out of water and the gunwales of her cock pit almost submerged. Their laboring elbows would plunge into the crest of these waves and the spray would dash into the canoe. But they kept up their courage and their labor. It was the only thing to do. To capsize there two miles from the nearest shore, was to undoubtedly perish for swimming in such waves, with clothes on, would have been out of the quession. They felt that it was quite .possible that they should never reach the shore. The Canoe was so Small the waves so large and only the paddles were saving the former from the latter which seemed ever attempting to de vour it. At such times one learns by ex perience very quickly. It was found possible to escape some of jthe big waves by dashing across out of the way. It was a frame of dndora—for life nlmecf and when the big waves could not be avoided, it was found that by frantic paddling the canoo could be made to keep pace with them for a while so that they could not submerge the ends so much as when they passed quickly. It was like a small man clinging close to a larger antagonist and thus escaping the full force of the latter’s blows. How they flew at such times, as they struggled to maintain their position on the crest of the Hying waves. Yet the shore of Frye’s [Island came nearer so slowly as to be almost inperoeptible. They struggled for an hour. misters came on their hands unheeded. Their bodies were as wet with perspiration at were their clothes with the spray. It even ran into their eyes and blinded them, yet they dared not take one hand from the paddle to brush it away. They reached Frye’s Island at last and rushed amidst the angry waves on to the sandy beach. What a Paradise it seenied! Any land is such when one has feared that he may never tread on it again. As these two young men began to build a fire to dry their clothes, they admitted to each other that at one time they had both experienced that awful fear of death It was vvlieu one had suggested that it would be well to load the revolvers to summon help and the other had replied that it would be of no use, with the wind blowing the sound away from the only possible help. It was when the big waves had first begun to surge around them and they had not become skillful in evading them. The wind was gone in an hour and so were the waves. Oh. fickle Sebago! As they paddled around

the island and towards the great bluffs known as the '‘Images” on Raymond Cape, the water was almost a mirror. Just above the Images on the other side of the little cove is the cosiest, pret tiest farm scene in the country. Mag nificent elms shade the little old house aid a green meadow slopes down to the water. A Boston lady occupies the place in the summer. She is the friend of one of the canoeists so they resolved to make her an early Sunday morning call. Two great mastiffs came sniffing around them as they approached the door. The lady was not there, but her son, a Boston ac tor came out to greet them. In the conversation he explained that his mother’s selection of the place was a case of love at first sight. Formerly there were more of the giant elms, but the original inhabitants had cut them down for firewood! They were soon in the canoe again and paddling over the smooth, black water under the huge, high bluffs of the Im ages. The water was high and as they approached the cave Hawthorne’s Cave. they found that the top of the narrow opening was scarcely three feet above the surface. They bowed their heads and glided into the cool gloominess beyond. The narrow slit in the rock is just wide enough for a canoe; it is deep enough for a steamship. They clambered up the dripping sides and out through the small hole into the air above, as Haw thorne used to do when he was a boy with his boat on Sebago. Only an ac tive body could accomplish it, as part of the way one might imagine (oneself a chimney-sweep, supported by both sides of a mammoth chimney. It was nearly noon when White’s Bridge was reached. They soon found that Outlet Brook is not navigable for a canoe or anything. Of course they could continue on down the Presumpscot, but they desired to visit Little Sebago. They walked half a mile to North Windham, and induced a small boy to harness his father’s horse and convey them and the canoe over the mile and a half to the smaller lake. He was a reckless young driver. He rattled through the quiet village streets at a smart pace. The people were just coming from church. The canoeists, who delight in old clothes, felt almost as disreputable as they looked. They realized the effect they produced when the young driver called to a boy in a dooryard, asking him to have a ride, and the mother exclaimed, “No, lie shan’t go.” It was the tone, not the words, that made the two canoeists feel that they had' been addressed and rebuked. Each wondered if the other was thinking “Could our mothers see us now!” When surrounded by the unbroken forest on the shores of Little Sebago they felt better. They were in the midst of nature’s eternal Sabbath, and were in harmony with nature’s worship. It is an ideal place for a picnic dinner, this little Sebago, and the canoeists re gretted the necessity for their hasty de parture. But they must get down Ditch Brook and Pleasant River and Little Falls on the Presumpscot that af ternoon. They were soon on their way through Collins Pond, which is just be low Little Sebago, and connected by a brawling stream. They had their misgivings about Ditch Brook. They had been told it was navigable; it is repesented by quite a heavy line on the map, and surely the name implies deep, still water. But Mud River would be a more suitable title. It is a succession of broad pools and roaring, rushing rapids, mostly the latter. The light canoe could scarcely flo>t in the shallow water sometimes, but if the big rocks could be evaded, the swift flight with the foam specked cur rent was glorious. To steer the canoe safely required as much labor with the paddle and inspired more demonstrative excitement than during the forenoon on the billows of the great bay, but there was none of the horror of danger about it, The water in the pools was never over a man’s head, and the shore was but a few feet away. For a mile and a half they struggled over the shallow rapids and flew down the deep ones, sometimes wading and lifting the canoe, sometimes frantically resisting its rush under the bushes on the shore of a curve, and always in the midst of a bow er of beauty, unsurpassed in the White Mountains themselves. Could it be pos sible that a stage ride of an hour or two could bring them to Maine’s metropolis, or that railroads and great manufacto ries were even nearer. They were ap parently sailing the virgin waters of an unbridled flood of the primeval forests. But they were suddenly disenchanted by the apparition of barbed wires stretching across the brook, which they saw just in time to save their eyes and faces, and soon they glided forth into Luo oLiu w atci ui a* migc xxuxx puuu, axxu beyond was a mill and a bridge. Pleasant river was still a half mile away. They carried the canoe around the dam and were immediately on |the rapids again. They had progressed but a short distance when a catastrophe occurred, so unex pected both in its possibilities and its results, and so utterly annihilatory to everything pertaining to the present situ ation that the shock of the contrast was almost permanent. Indeed they have both since found traces of white in their black heads that are of recent origin. They had dashed down a long rapid when they came to an abrupt curve. On the outer'bank stout alders extended out over the water. The canoe was swept under them. Its occupants leaned the same way to escape the branches and —the canoe capsized. One of the aston ishei canoeists reached bottom first with his feet and as he seized the sink ing canoe with the water flowing around his waist, he saw his long-legged com panion striking out for shore, with an expression on his face as if he had been dropped in the middle of the ooean and must swim for his life. □His feet were caught in the canoe. As he crawled up the bank (but a few feet distant) like a kitten out of a water pail, he suddenly broke into a frantic stampede down stream, the water flying from his clothing in all directions. The surface of the rushing rapids was dotted with baskets, hats, paddles, etc., that were rapidly disappearing in the dis tance. A pair of field glasses in a leather case danced jauntily away on the toD of a basket. They were sliding into 'the water when their owner seized them. A paddle escaped, so did A Hat and a Stocking, (for one was barefooted) and also a handsome revolver. But subsequent sub-marine operations secured the latter. The food in the baskets was such no longer. It was simply a “horrible mess.” The water had taken complete posses sion of pockets, pipe bowls, wallets and all of their most personal belongings. One cannot appreciate water, in all its possibilities for anti-dryness until one has had a similar experience with it. soon the adjacent forest had assumed the appearance of a backyard on Monday and the work of recuperation was be gun. Articles of underwear that, after sucli an experience, have been seize i at either end by a pair of muscular hands, twisted into a dripping rope and then shaken to the breeze, are all ready for use again. They may be a trifle cool f and clingy, but they are not wet; oh, no! I The same is true of stockings and trous- ers. But such garments have a way of getting cooler and dingier as the sun gets lower, and as soon as possible the 1 nearest farmhouse was sought by 1 our unfortunates. A new hat, or rather an old one, was secured, but the man couldn’t keep them, for the night “no how.” He named a neighbor that “took in strangers” sometimes. The neighbor was Bitting in his front room. The spokesman of the applicants 1 for lodging explained, as the water oozed J from his shoes and he| slapped his limp j trousers that he was getting chilled and must get near a fire. “Didn’t kalk’late ter build no fire tilf my woman gut home,” said “the neighbor”(?) At the next farm house, the reception was equally discouraging and a walk to the nearest town seemed necessary when a good Samaritan came along with a team t and took them in. They hated to return to North Wind ham, after tlieir appearance there in all their glory but a few hours before. 1 There was !no help for it, however, aud when they drove up to the hotel with chattering teeth and wrapped in the car riage blankets, they would imagine how quickly and perfectly the telegraph of gossip wousld spread the news of their second and different arrival. But at the hotel their troubles were i over. Brother Field (that is his right title), had his own clothes and boots up on tliem in no time. He is something over six fee t and big in proportion; hut what of that? Who cares if liis trousers 1 can be tied round his neck as long as they are dry! That’s the main point in clothes after all. And as to boots, as long as there is no water in them, a man is unmindful of his blessings who 1 is particular as to a little extra space. If ever a man has occasion to feel that home is the place for him and if he can’t get there and is anywhere near North Windham, he oan solve the problem very easily by taking a bee-line for Brother r ieiu a uuiei. jl. n. jd.

The W. C. T. U. Hotel Said To Be a Fail ure. The Lewiston Journal prints a story that the W. O. T. IT. World’s Fair Hotel at Harvey, 111., run by Rev. Walter Thomas Mills, is very unsatisfactory,a,nd in fact almost if not quite a swindle. It was built on stock subscriptions; a ten dollar share giving the subscriber the right to board fora fixed time during the fair. Many shares were taken in Maine, and some people who have gone to the hotel to get their board are much dissat isfied at the accommodations. The W. C. T.

The school, to the number >f 175, were taken in horse cars from the ihurch to the Union station, and in spec al cars by train to Wescustego. The en ertainment committee provided a band if music and all the various games were horoughly enjoyed after the grounds at Yescustego were reached. At noon a lountiful dinner was served in the hotel, ,nd after it the sports were resumed and he band played delightfully. Some very SDirited foot races were in lulged in and the proverb that “the bat le is not to the strong nor the race to he swift,” was fully exemplified when he slowest and yet the most amusing md exciting foot race of the afternoon vas run by Mr. J. B. Brackett and Mrs. E. Cobb. At 5.15 the train steamed into Wescus :ego station and took on board 175 as lappy Sunday school children as ever warded a train. Horse cars awaited hem at the station and took them up lunjoy hill to their homes, with the miversal feeling that no brighter or hap >ier day was ever spent by the Congress treet Methodist Sunday school than hat spent at lovely Wescustego, July 6, .893. _ Yacht Sachem in the Harbor.

Americans are the most tolerant of all people toward had actors and singers, ind they never his3 a performance. If they don’t like it, they leave it, but hiss ing is occasionally heard now at con certs and miscellaneous entertainments. It is not directed against the singers, but against the “encore fiend,” who, with frantic uproar, tries to force every me of them to do his or her work two or three times over for his speoial benefit. As a rule the poorer the show the more emotional and persistent are the people who want everything repeated. In or chestral concerts it has become the rule to grant no encores, and the majority, which does not desire or is willing to Forego them, reaches home at a reason able hour.—New York Sun. MARRIAGES.

GENIUS AND WEALTH. Bright Men Sometimes Manage to Save Their Earnings. Members of the Literary Profession Are an Exception. In the Great Field of Brain Workers, For Few Great Writers Have Ever Amassed Fortunes. The accumulation of an estate of near ly $700,000 by the late Edwin Booth is suggestive of the large profits made by an actor of great eminence. It is also an indication that the popular impression that dramatic genins, and artistic genius generally, is incompatible with the keep ing of money is not justified by the facts. Mr. Booth’s fortune must have been gathered almost wholly during the last 20 years of his life, or since the failure of the theater which he established for himself in 1869 at the comer of Twenty third street and Sixth avenue. The cir cumstance that it consists of personal estate only, with the exception of a place at Newport, suggests also that it grew 'altogether out of his professional gains during that short period, and it indicates how great those were and how prudent he was in. their management. In this prudence, however, he was not extraordinary among actors. Edwin Forrest, with whom he competed for the popular favor at the beginning of his successful career, left a Jarge fortune also when he died in 1872. Charlotte .Cushman, whose dramatic career was Simultaneous, and who died in 1876, left k very handsome estate. Mr. Henry frying, the distinguished English actor, Sa a man of fortune, and many of the men and women of the stage are now the possessors of wealth or of a compe tence which renders them pecuniarily independent. The great mass may spend as they go along, taking no thought for the morrow or having no faculty for Accumulation even when they have in comes large enough to afford an oppor tunity for its exercise, but it is the same Svfth the run of other people, of men of affairs and professional men. iaThe genius for making money and the AUi AODpUg XU ttXtJ CljJctAl/ auu U.1S tifljpt.

THEMLCOmAir They Will All Be Here Today at Custom Hause Wharf. _ 9 THE ARCTIC CRAFT AND HER CAPTAIN DESCRIBED. Some Particulars of the Expedition on Which Lieutenant and Mrs. Peary Have Started—Their Route Illustrated. The “Falcon”-is due at this port this morning, and during the day the people of Portland will have an opportunity to see the plucky explorers, the dogs, the burros, the Falcon herself, and the other paraphernalia which Lieutenant Peary and his wife are to take with them for their sojourn of two years in the far North. As coon as the Falcon arrives vant, who accompanied him on the last expedition. Mrs. Peary will not be the only woman of the expedition this time, as she will be accompanied by her maid. The vessel has already been quite fully described. She is the Newfoundland steam sealing ship Falcon, whicli is com manded by Capt. Henry Bartlett and manned by 17 men. The Falcon is a three master, bark rigged, and is easily distinguished by her big white smoke stack with a red diamond on it. Her net displacement is 311 tons, and she is about 25 or 30 years old. She came in from a sealing expedition in April, ai:d since then $16,000 have been expended in fitting her up for her perilous cruise in the frozen Arctic seas. Lieut. Peary has chartered the vessel to take him up to Bowdoin bay on the coast of Greenland, and to come for him there in the summer of 1895. Captain Bartlett is a fine specimen of the sailor. He has been on the sea since he was 14 years of age, starting out then in seal fishing. At the age of 17 he was chief officer on the Panther. He acquired a varied experience by engaging in the me^FALCON. she will be tied up at Custom House wharf, and will be open to inspection all today and this evening. Mr. James W. Davidson of Austin, Minnesota, business manager for the Peary lectures, and who is to go with the expedition as surveyor, arrived in town yesterday and proceeded at once to en gage a wharf. He found considerable difficulty, but through the kindness of Mr. C. W. T. Coding of the Casco Bay line, he was accommodated. The advance guard of the expedition is a bright young man, not long from his studies at the Northwestern Military col lege, who gained Peary’s confidence by the executive ability which he displayed as the manager of the explorer’s lecture tour. They gave 165 lectures in 103 days, and travelled as far east as Lewis ton, in this state, and as far west as Boulder, Col., as far north as Duluth, cod fishery, bank fishing, etc. The cap tain superintended the building of the Panther, and the following spring he as sumed command of the Nimrod, which for three years he navigated with much success. This same steamer he took across the Atlantic and up the Mediterra nean. The Hector, now the Diana, and the Neptune have been under his com mand, In the latter, during the season of ’92, he achieved one of the greatest feats of recent years. He went seal fish ing in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and ran through the Straits of Belle Isle. Here he struck good luck, completely filling the ship. He sailed home along the eastern coast, completely circumnavigatj ing the island in his course. Captain Bartlett was born in Brigus, Conception Bay, September 12, 1864. His family is a noted one in sealing in dustries. His father, Captain Abiaham auu as i.u suulu as is asnviue. ireary de clared that he suffered more hard ships on that tour than he ever did in Greenland. Lieutenant and Mrs. Peary did not ar rive until last evening, coming by rail, while all the remainder of the* party are on the Falcon. They are S. J. Entrakin of West Chester, Pa., who was a mem ber of last year’s Peary relief expedition, and who will be second in command; SCENE ON FALCON’S DECK. Edwin Astroup of Norway, who accom panied Peary on his last expedition; Dr. Edward Vincent of Springfield, 111.; George A. Carr of Chicago; Hugh J. Lee of Meriden, Conn.; W. F. Swin of Indian apolis, Ind.; E. B. Baldwin of Oswego, Kan., the meteorologist; F. W. Stokes of Philadelphia, the artist; George Clarke of Brookline, the taxidermist, and Mat thew Henson, Lieut. Peary's colored ser isartiett, ana ms granaiainer, were m their day famous sealfishers. Portland people will be able today to see for themselves many of the interest ing things on the Falcon. They will not see, however, the house, built at Cam den, N. J., and packed in the hold at present. itedcliffe, as the house at headquarters in Greenland is to be known, will be some miles to the south of the old site, for one reason—to have access to the in terior without climbing a mountain, as at the old place, and for the greater com fort of those who must remain at head quarters. The house will be 13} feet high, 35 feet long and 16 feet wide. The plan of construction, as given by Mr. Entrekin, is a shell made up of woodeu frames, each composed of a joist, two studs and a rattler. These are cov ered with tar paper, made fast to rafters and studding, and upon this tongue ground inch boards are laid diagonally, the outside covered with heavier tar paper, secured with battens.

Yesterday morning’s Press spoke of a runaway accident in which a team be longing to Mr. Soule, the Green street stabler, figured. The particulars of the accident were these: Mr. Soule let a double carriage and a pair of buckskin horses, Wednesday, to Mr. W. F. Heal. Mr. Heal’s daughter, Mr. Kidder of Hew York, and his mother—friends of Miss Heal—and Mrs. J. E. French, went to Spurwink with the team. After dinner they started on the re turn to the city. As the carriage was descending Meeting House hill at the Cape, one of the horses suddenly started on the run. Mr. Kidder, who was driving, tried to pull them in and partially suc ceeded, but as the carriage reached the bottom of the hill his grasp of the reins relaxed a little as his strength somewhat failed and the horses ran again. There was a hay cart jn the way, but Mr. Kidder managed to steer the horses safely around it when a front wheel broke and the carriage over turned. Mr. Kidder had presence of mind to turn the horses round as he fell and they were stopped by people who came up behind. Mrs. Kidder escaped injury. Mr. Kidder was considerably bruised. Mrs. French was badly cut about the head, and several stitches had to be taken. Miss Heal feared that her leg was brok en and so did the doctors, but it was so swollen they could not tell for certainty until the swelling was reduced when it was ascertained that the muscles and ligaments were badly strained, but the bone was intact. It seems as if the team was not such a one as should have been sent out for or dinary drivers. All Well Shaken Up.
