Maine Republican Convention

PORTLAND, Me, June 12.-About 25OO delegates and politicians from out of town are in the city to attend to-day's Republican state convention. The three leading candi- dates for governor are Gen. Cleaves, MT. Burleigh and Governor Marble The most enthusiasm seems to be around the head quarters of Gen. Gleaves, but Burleigh's friends say they have clear 100 majority on first ballot. This Is said by others to be a ridiculous claim. The rivalry between the factions is quite bitter.

WORLD OF SPORTS.
IT WAS A FALSE REPORT.


 Says the Meriden Journal: It is reported that Waterbury's base ball moguls have another attack of big head, similar to the one they had in '85, when they jumped from the southern New England league in to the more pretentious eastern league. 1t ia said they now have longing to take Portland's place in the New England league and that their refusal to play Saturday in Stamford was with g. view of helping the disruption of the Connecticut clubs. There is no doubt but that they are crazy enough in Waterbury to go in that class. They wouldn't hesitate minute about going m the National league. Waterbury base ball gall knows no limit. But it would seem to sober minded people that Q club that cannot get any better than third place in this little league would have pretty rocky time in the new class to which they aspire. If the Waterburys could not get money enough together to go to Stamford Sathr- day how will they ever get to Manchester, N. H., Lowell and the New England league citiess
 For four years the managers of the base ball in this city, have tried to keep the sport alive, losing nearly every year ex- cept 1884, in the venture. This season it was thought state league, run on cheap plan might be made to pay expenses, but as usual the stockholders of the Water bury club had to go down in their pockets to foot the bills. Yesterday it was decided, as the league was fast going to pieces, to release all the players and give up the business as bad job for the present. The men were paid off, and told that if they desired to play out the schedule on the cooperative plan, they could have the use of the grounds, bats, uniforms, etc., free: The boys accepted the offer and appointed Tommy Guest. manager, and Davy All man, captain. They will play in Danbury to-day, and tomorrow the Danburys play l in this city. The Resolutes are booked to play here Saturday.
 The base ball loving public should show their appreciation of the effort of the home team to keep the sport alive by turn l ing out to to -mOrrow's game.
 Anson says that Umpire Lynch is un- doubtedly honest and that when he gets over his present enlargement of the cranium" he will settle down and eventually be success.
 The men who lead the batting in tho league at the present date are as follows
 with their averages: Connor, AIT; Herman
 .369; Kelly, .367; Anson, .338; White, .323
 Thompson, .321; Brouthers, .320; Wise
 .312; O'Rourke, .312; Johnson, 311; Pfeffer
 .306; Richardson Oetroit), .3O2; Denny
 .3O1 Getzein, 300.

He was loudly ap plauded by all at the close of his speech. The other speakers were M. F. Connolly, Benjamin Sedgwick, MT Newell, Kevin Drury and T. F. Dougherty. The meet ing closed by offering rising vote of thanks to John Fitzpatrick for his ad- dress.

Some of the things we do for the improvement of Trade; keep only First-Class Pianos and Or gans, known everywhere as Standard Goods. We sell them at the lowest possible prices and most favorable terms Weber, Shoninger, Emerson & Wheelock are our leaders any one of which will in every way give satisfaction and prove source of joy in any family. Among the things we do not do is this: Never annoy people, who are not ready to buy, or lie about our neighbors goods, but are willing to accord all fair valuation in the market. Neither do we run after customer who has purchased of other agents, trying to make them dissatisfied, and are yet literal Pianos. carried in our pockets or Tuning Ham mers thrown in. We prefer the principle of every farmer to his milk cans, and mechanic to his trade and have yet friendly feel ing and sympathy for Piano Tuners. Lastly, we manage our own business honestly, fairly and le- ultimately; pay dollar for dollar promptly; fur nish our own Bank Vaults for Leases taken from Installment Customers without the aid of Sher- ifs to collect on the same Thirty years standing before the people as 2 Company, is sufficient guarantee of our stability.

BOILED IC--CREAM.
Some of the Chinese summer Deiicacies
Coveted by the Gotham Heather.


Coveted by the Gotham Heather.
One of the attractions of Mott street
on summer Sunday are the several
Chinese watermelon stands. If one
wishes to enjoy genuine Oriental
market sight. with stands and booths
of nearly every description, crowded
with Chinese patrons, he should pass
through Mott street on a Sunday after
noon. say about five o clock. The way
the heathens get away with Christian
watermelon is significant. Without
exaggeration on single Sunday after
| noon between the hours of four and
eight p. m, at least two tons, or four
thousand pounds, of watermelons are
devoured by the throat-parched opium
smokers. There are seven Cinnamon
who keep watermelon stands and each
takes in from twenty to fifty dollars
per Sunday. They retail their melons
at five cents slice to their fellow coun-
trymen. As many us forty Cinnamon
are often seen surrounding one stand
munching at huge chunks of well
ripened western pumpkins" us the
Chinese call them.
Then there are the Chinese peanut
stands. that also do IA big business at
any time of the year. This is because
the Chinese cook their peanuts in salt
water. They are boiled until they be-
come mellow. Even the Chinese
roasted peanuts are much superior to
those produced by the soLs of
sunny Italy, because the nuts
are soaked in salt for thirty-six
hours before they are put through the
rooster. The watermelon seeds are
similarly treated, and they serve among
the Mongolians of Gotham as Il very
dainty dish at their great dinners. as,
instead of smoking cigars. the Chinese
guests sit down and crack watermelon
seeds.
The sugar-cane stands also do rush
ing business. as do the Chinese Leon
fun or ice-crcam stands. The Chinese
ce-cream is somewhat different from
any other kind of icc-cream. In the
| first place it has no ice in it, and in the
second place there is no cream; but it
is called Leon fun or ''coldh cream or
Jelly, and it is really the only thing that
answers to ice-cream among the four
hundred million of heathens in China
The Chinese are so fond of it that even
the real article here has failed to super
Sede it. This Leon fun is made of 4
species of light stuff, very much like
