BOY DETECTIVE.
How Winslow Youth Pound His Sto-
len Horse

Especial to the Kennebec Journal
WATERvnLE, May Is.
William T. Reynolds, a Winslow boy, had
horse stolen from him about two weeks
ago and suspicion rested on a man named
James Scarway, who had an Office in Water
vile when he sold sewing machines, he hav-
ing left town about that time Mr.. Rey-
nolds made inquiries and advertised in the
kennebec Journal. After consulting coun-
sci and gathering together what facts he had
obtained from his advertising and investiga-
tions, he started after Scarway. He sue
ceeded in tracing him to Grand Falls on the
Canada Line. He there employed an officer
over the line, giving him a description of
Scarway and the stolen property, also writ
of replevin and directed the officer to go to
the residence of the thief. From informa-
ton that he received at the custom house the
officer succeeded in finding the man and
horse and returned the horse to the boy who
was in waiting and he is today in his stable
at WinslOw. The whole expense, including
the payment of the officers services and the
necessary papers, was Sl2. Surely here is
an instance of pretty good detective work
for young boy.

CHAIRMAN JONES
Interviewed Regarding Blaine's Nomin-
alton
PIrrsBURG, Nav Is.

PIrrsBURG, May Is.
Chairman b. F. Jones, who has arrived
from the east, was interviewed today. He
said
Blaine has not appointed a residuary lega-
tee. nor expressed preference for any can
didate. His wishes are that the best man
may win. Blaine will not write another let
ter either affirming or Withdrawing his de-
clination; that was intended as hnal. l be-
lieve Blaine would have been nominated by
acelamataon if he had not withdrawn. l
don't know what Blaine would do if he should
receive the unanimous nomination of the
convention. should think it would be hard
to resist the demand of his party which has SO
highly honored him. think these questions
are not for me nor even Blaine to answer, but
the republican party. There is no truth in
the reports that a few of Blaine's close
friends had concerted in an action for the
purpose of putting him forward again as q
candidate, nor any truth in the report that
Blaine relented and would now like to have
his name go before the convention. l have
had conversations recently with Whitelaw
Reid and Mr.. Elkins, and no mention was
made of forcing Blaine's name upon the
nor anything said relating to his
possible candidacy except an expression of
surprise at the remarkable uprising in his
favor in spite of his letter of Withdrawal.

players were borne from the ground on the
shoulders of enthusiastic friends. The
chapel bell pealed forth a joyous chorus.
Before all this happened, however, the Bow
doin men assembled together and gave the
NJ. S. c. nine three hearty cheers. They
desc: we'd it, for more gentlemanly nine does
not exist in the State, and they know how to
play \ stuff game of ball.
The Bowdoins certainly have the strongest
nine they have had for years, and not little
of the credit for this fact is due to the hard
training which has been given the PLAYERS BY
Captain Fred Freeman, who, besides being
a strong player himself, is probably the bes,
field captain in the State. The men ran bases
with spirit and their work at the bat was
simply terrific, despite the fact that 80 good

tower of strength behind the bat and Cary
has developed into frst-class twirler, his
of the ball being remarkable.
The NJ. S. {. boys have got good nine.
Their battery is very strong one. Consid-
ing the heavy hitting they had to face they
made most creditable showing. Below is

This reference to Morrison was greeted
with the most tumultous applause ON the

Origin of the Word Gladly"

Philologically woman is a woman,
and lady is hlafdgge, a dpge of the
hlaf or loaf, a kneader of bread, bread
maker. The word came up when the
bread-maker of the house ruled it.,
always, of course, under the super
vision of her husband, and she being a
distinguished person, " lady" became
a term to be used with discrimination
and not applied to every woman, re-
CARELESS of her occupation and domestic
station. AS civilization went on the
lady or bread-maker of the house in
clined to hand over her distinctive func-
ton to another person. But although
she resigned the bread-making she
jealousy retained her title, the dignity
of which had been derived from labor
solely, and it gradually became the
recognized designation of a woman of
social elevation above most of her
associates. Finally it was adopted to
mark the dividing line between refine
ment and education and the lack
thereof.

A Great Invention.

The Popular Science Monthly de-
scribes a curious and ingenious device
called "The Echo-maker, to be used
on ships at sea. A flaring funnel is
screwed to the muzzle of rifle. When
a supposed obstacle is near the vessel
the rifle is fired in its direction, and if
the obstacle is there the beam of sound
projected through the funnel strikes
the obstacle and rebounds, and as the
echo is more or less perfect in proper
ton as the obstacle is more or less par
allel to the ship from which the gun is
fired, and as it is near or remote, the
position of the obstacle may be in
ferred. The inventor claims that a
sharp sound projected at or nearly at
an object, and only when so directed,
will in every case return some of the
sound sent, so that, theoretically, there
will always be an echo, and the differ
ence in the time between the sound
sent and the echo will indicate the re-
moteness of the object. The naval
hoard tried the echo-maker and found
that return sound could be heard
from the side of fort half mile away,
from passing steamers a quarter of a
mile off, if broad-side to, from bluffs
and sails of vessels at about the same
distance and from spar buoys two hun
dred fifty yards away.

Wonderful Bridges.

The bridges over the Tay and the
Forth in Scotland have attracted much
attention as engineering works, the
first-named viaduct being notable as the
largest bridge in the world. 1t is only
one link in the line of northern travel
The second, or Forth bridge, from
North to South Queenstown, and which
is scarcely less important, will have the
distinction of being made of steel
throughout its entire length of more
than 5000 feet, and when completed
according to the vast and admirable de-
signs of its projectors will be one of
the greatest marvels of engineering
construction which Europe can show.
The island of Ichgarvie, in the middle
of the arm of the sea which it crosses,
enables the bridge to be in four spans,
only two of which are over water.
These two principal spans are each
of about LOO feet and the height
above the sea of each of them is 200
feet, all of the most massive masonry.

Choosing a Husband.

Husbands are not made to order;
they just grow. To get good one you
have to know him when you see him.
He may not look like the man your
fancy painted, yet you will recognize in
him the qualities that 60 to make up
the reliable, enterprising, amiable man.
AS rule women are not possessed of
acute business minds and are not as
observant as they might be. One after
another they will fall into the same
open trap, just as though they were
blindfolded or were impelled by some
uncomfortable force. The majority of
them seem to think they must marry,
and all that is necessary is to find a
man that is good-looking or rich. The
average girl first takes fancy to a
pretty man and thinks and dreams of
his lovely hair, charming eyes, elegant
dress, divine moustache and dove-like
voice. She declares that he is too
sweet for anything. This fever passes
off in time, but too often leaves per-
verted taste. A dandy figure, swell
manners and Gathering tongue are apt
to even outweigh good heart, indus
trial habits and moral worth Even
after marriage visions of the early ideal
rise up to disturb the serenity and tram
guilty of the domestic scene. Better
such an ideal had never been formed

The Growth of Australia.

Mr.. Hayter, an Australian statisti-
clan, has been making a series of calcu-
lations as to the growth in population
and wealth of the Australasian colonies.
He is, says the Boston Herald, of the
opinion that, at the present rate of
increase, in the year 2000 the inhab-
itants of Australasia will number nearly
100000, 900, and at that time, if not be-
fore, the people of that distant section
will form no inconsiderable part of the
inhabitants of the world. That the
growth in wealth of the colonies is
going on even faster than the increase
is shown by comparing the average
amount left by each person dying in
Victoria in the years 1S72-1S76 with
similar-bequeathed possessions during
the years 1882 to 1886. In the former
period what may be taken to be the
average amount possessed by each
person dying was 5000, while in the
last-named period the amount had in
creased to over 81 800.

The London correspondent of lie
Moniteur de la Photographic writes to
that journal that in the middle of the
winter which has just elapsed a stu
dent made lens of ice with which he
lit the pipes of some of the skaters on
the Serpentine by means of the solar
rays-an experiment, he says, which
was first performed in the polar regions
by DR. Scoresby, to the great astonish-
ment of the sailors, for they could not
understand why the ice did not freeze
the beams of the sun. We may re-
mark that Professor Tyndall at times
would set fire at the Royal Institution
to little heap of gunpowder with rays
from the electric arc concentrated upon
the powder by means of lens of ice.
His explanation was that although ice
absorbs rays of certain wave lengths,

Railroads and Temperance.

The Raihoay Age says: "The rail-
ways of the United States now consti-
tute one of the most effective temper
ance organizations in existence. Prac-
tically they encourage and most of the
companies require abstinence from in
toxicating liquors on the part of their
100000 employees. A great and graft
flying change in sentiment as well as in
practice on this subject has taken place
among railway officers and men within
a few years. 1t is comparatively
short time since to be a railway man
was almost equivalent to being drink
ing man, and the officer and employe
who refused to drink was hardly con-
sidered adapted for his profession. AL
this is happily changed.
