From q letter received by Lieut.. L. r.
Hare. the denartment inspector Of rifle
practice, it is learned that the best individ-
ual score thus far reported during the
present year is that made by Maj. Andrew
s. Burt, Eighth infantry, who has a ma
tional reputation as a crack shot, and
is now stationed at Fort Bidwell, Cal.
The records show that he has made a
perfect score (100) at each OF the 200, 300.
600 and S00-yard ranges, SO at the 300-yard
and 90 at the 1,0o0-yard range, making a
total Of 594 out OF possible 600,or 80 per
cent. The total is slightly in excess OF the
score made last season at Fort Missoula,
Mont, by Lieut.. M. G. Wilkinson, Third
infantry, who headed the list Of sharp
shooters with a percentage Of 1922.

Gen. Sheridan and Mackey.

John Mackey has gone to Washing
ton to lobby through a claim Of $780,.
ooo which, he holds, the government
owes the bank of Nevada on account
OF moneys advanced to land specula-
tors and surveyors and sharks. 1t is
not exactly known where Gen. Sherl
dan is now, but it is hoped he is not
IN Washington. Ii Sheridan should
ever meet Mackey at close taw, there
is no knowing what the result might
pc. Sheridan is short, Mackey is tall,
put is a fighter and the other
ISN'T. Mackey once got Sheridan TO
make an investment of over $4,000
N the Sierra Grande mine at New
Mexico. This was the famous George
noDerts steal, and most of those who
got damned never whimpered. Sheri.
aan would not, perhaps, have squeal.
sd had he not heard that Mackey
claimed to have nothing whatever to
10 with the thing; that he had no
money II it, and was merely backing
'ueorge Roberts, an old boaster, in the
iatter's scheme. When Little Phil got
on to the scheme he never squeaked,
layedfor John Mackey. He made
9 tourney from Chicago to New York
expressly. He saw the husband oil
mrs. Mackey and the "Arc dc
I~riomphe," and the man with the
pick under ground gave way to the
nan on the black horse. History
Will, perhaps, never contain the rec.
ORD OF that interview, but the story Is

ma got at his sluice boxes. He got

Temperance Text Books.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The State Board of Health and the w. C.
t. U. ought in no way to conflict. We re-
joiced in the establishment of the former,
and never dreamed it would in any way
take advantage of law for which the w. C.
T. U. worked diligently for months, cir
culating petitions all over the State, ap-
pearing before the Legislative Educational
Committee Ito which the Senate referred it,
pleading for scientific temperance instruc-
ton in the schools. / do not recall that the
word physiology was once used at the hear
ing, save as it appeared in the form of the
bill which we proposed to submit to the
legislature should the educational committee
report in its favor. Hon. N. A. Luce, State
Superintendent of Schools of Maine Mrs.
w. $. Spaulding, State Superintendent Of
the Department of Temperance Instruction
of the Maine w. c. L. u, and the writer
were those who presented the cause to this
committee. 1t was presented and discussed
as temperance measure, as the title OF the
statute soon after passed plainly indicates,
viz: IAN act in favor of scientific temperance
instruction in public schools" This act
provides for temperance instruction i'll all
schools supported by public money. Mr..
DrummondS explanation OF the statute
makes it exactly what its trainers intended
it to be- 1t would seem to be better for the
Board of Health to secure law which
would insure the teaching of more physiology
than has heretofore been taught for instance
in Portland in course of about II years we
find it has been taught one term i'll the High
School and only five per cent. of the
scholars ever take the High School course

cAMDEN's GREAT EVENT.
Description of the Fine Ship to be
Launched There Today.

CAMDEN, Aug. 10-The great event OF
launching the big ship will take place to-
morrow (Tuesday), from the yard OF John
Pascal at Rockport. She is built for Garlic
ton, Norwood & Co., and is the second larg-
est wooden ship ever built in the United
States, and the only four-masted ship Her
name is the Frederick Billings, in honor OF
one of the owners in New York, connected
with the Northern Pacific railroad. Her
tonnage is 262S, and considering the differ
ence of the new measurement, but trifie
smaller than the Great Republic. She is
square-rigged on the foremast mainmast
and mizzenmast and her spanker mast sails
are like those of barque's third mast. The
length of the ship is 291 feet, and from the
deck to the main truck it is 1S1 feet 1t will
give better idea of her huge proportions to
say that her masts will extend 20 feet above
the Brooklyn bridge, and three of the four
sections of the masts will have to be lowered
in order to pass under that structure. The
main sticks of the masts are 80 feet long,
made Of solid Oregon pine. The length of
the fore and main yards is 90 feet each, and
she will spread 1900 yards of canvas The
oak frame of the ship came from Virginia,
and her hard pine planks from South Caro-
lima. Her anchors were made at the Cam
den Anchor Works, and number five as fol-
lows. One full patent Trotman anchor,
7240 pounds; one wooden stick $500 pounds
one stream, 1900 pounds; one kedge, 700
pounds; and one spare anchor, 400 pounds;
Her chains measure $50 fathoms, and weigh
% tons. She will go into the water with
copper bottom. 1t is not known who will
command her, the captains interest not yet
having been sold. The total cost will be
about $150,000, and she is built and finished
throughout in substantial and first-class
manner
The firm of Carleton, Norwood &
Co., the principal owners, is without doubt
the largest firm of ship builders and ship
owners in this country. They were estab-
lished in 1910, and during the past forty-fve
years have built "a vessels, and remarkable
to say, all of them have been built by the
same master workman, John Pascal; al
though in this last ship he is assisted by his
son, Chester L. Pascal, who is chip of the
old block. The ffty-four vessels are as fol-
lows: II schooners, II brigs, IS barques and
IA ships, three of the ships being over 1000
tons. About one-half of the fleet is now
afloat in all parts of the world, and the con-
trolling interest owned by Carleton, Nor
wood & Co. 1t will be a general holiday to
see the ship go off. The proprietor of the
Carleton House has been engaged to furnish
dinner for Bangor excursion of $50, and
another excursion is coming from Belfast
other near places will send large delegations.

DIVORCE LAWS IN MAINE.
A Case Pending Which Involves an
Important Decision.

A case is now in suspense in the probate
court at Bangor that promises to test the
divorce laws of Maine. On February I'd last
Sarah S. Eaton of Plymouth, Me-, brought
an action of divorce against her husband,
Joseph W. Eaton, on the ground of cruelty.
Besides the action for divorce, the libellee
brought bill in equity for $1,000, founded on
the following causes: This bill alleged that
in 1879, when Joseph W. Eaton was danger
ously i'll, he decided his homestead to his
wife, Sarah s.. but that on Juue 81, 1881, his
wife, Sarah S. Eaton, by Misrepresentation
and deceit, obtained the said deed and had
it recorded. In the mean time he had made
a will. Sarah S. says there was no miSrepre-
sentation or deception in the recording of the
deed. Chief Justice Peters granted the
divorce in April of this year. He gave back
the real estate to the Eatons, while giving
bountiful alimony to Sarah S. A second
will was made in 1883, and a codicil ON June
g. 1885. The question now before the pro-
bate court is as to the appointment of a
special administrator. Joseph WIS heirs
desire the appointment of his son, Joseph @.
as special administrator, he being the execu-
tor of the last will of his father. The con-
testants desire an outside party. The inn
portant question for the public, however, is
as follows: Mrs. Eaton was divorced nisi in
April last that is to say, her divorce may
become absolute in six months on applica-
tion to the clerk of the court, no objection
being shown in the mean time; but Joseph
W. Eaton died June -, 1885, the six months
arises whether Mrs. Eaton is widow or a
divorced wife. Such a legal question has
never been decided in the courts of Maine.
There is money, legal ability and influence
on both sides of this case, and it is hoped
that this nisi question will have final solu.

THE DEAD GENERAL.
What the English Newspapers Say
About the Funeral.
Removal of the Floral Tributes to
Riverside Park.

New YORK, Aug. 10-Several covered
wagons today took away from City Hall the
Ller upon which rested the remains of Gen.
Grant while lying in state. The floral offer
lngS were also removed and will be placed at
the tomb. Curious people through the day
loltered through the black corridors, stared
at the spot where the body lay, and eagerly
seized tufts of moss and leaves that had
fallen upon the floors. Late in the afternoon
The Mayor received floral anchor that had
been sent to Geo. Jones of the New York
Times by colOred citizens of Florida. ltwas
intended for the obsequies, but being too
late, will be placed at the tomb of General
Grant.
LONDON, Aug. 10.-All the morning news
papers today published c0pious accounts of
the funeral of General Grant. All agree that
the outpouring of people on the occasion,
and their deep grief as indicated by the des-
patches, were something wonderful. The
Times had a special despatch three columns
long, detailing the scenes and incidents of
the funeral, and also leading editorial
praising and recalling many personal traits
of the dead General. 1t expressed unbound
ed admiration for the conduct of the Ameri-
can people concerning the burial of General
Grant, and prOnOunceS the funeral a Spon-
taneous outburst of national admiration and
gratitude which, although it can do nothing
for its actual object, is not therefore less to
be commended. In conclusion the Times
says:
No other nation and no former period could
have afforded materials for such procession as
mat OF Saturday, or even the physical conditions
which enabled its members to come together.

ance instruction law for such purpose.
In regard to the criticisms of the President
of the Board of Health that the word stimu-
liant appears in our law and yet our book
denies that it is stimulant would say: A
page and one-third is given to the subject,
treating it negatively to be sure. | believe
it has been decided that lin the State Of
Maine at least it is the spirit and not the
letter of the law which holds. The word
''stimulant" may be superfluous, but the
language is similar to the New York statute
which was carefully framed to withstand
the expected assaults OF the enemies OF
temperance.
The ''inaecuracy" of the report must con-
sist in not fully reporting all that was said,
rather than in misstating what seemed to us
his leading criticisms, viz:
1st. ''The book does not refer to the medical
use of alcohol" 3D. ''It does not sufficiently en-
phasize the fact that very many people can habit
be appreciably injured by it," Sd. ut denies
that alcohol is a food"
We did not repeat what appears in the
Board of Health report; that it gives rab-
idly one sided view of the alcoholic ques-
ton To us there is but one side to the alco-
holic question as beverage On page nine
its mechanical value is admitted, and alcohol
as medicine is purposely omitted leaving
that for medical works. for reasons given In
our other article. A work that ranks alco-
hol with food substances or claims that q
moderate amount of it may be taken habitu-
ally without harm to the drinker or his de-
scendants we not only do not endorse but en-
ter our earnest protest against as being sci
entifcally in accurate and morally unsafe.
