sirable lines of goods at this
moment, each one of them hav-
ing special points of excellence,
that we shall not be able to say
so much as we believe to be
wise by way of explanation.
1t has come to be the gen
orally understood thing that
we have had this year the very
cream of all the Satines and
Chailles that have come from
the looms.
"Our" Satines and "our"
Chailles have a distinct indi-
viduality of their own and are
themselves desirable from ev-
cry point of view.
We have had enormous lines
of them, and our sales have
been SO far beyond any previ-
Gus year that we have long
ago ceased to make any at
tempt at comparison.
The French Satines that we
offer to-day are in as great
variety of design and as beau
tiful as any we have had this
season.
The designs are different,
also, which is a decided adj
vantage.
Price now 80 1-3 cts.
The American Satines, pat
terms in close imitation of the
French, price IL I-2 cts.
If there can be found any
where a more beautiful &C
emulation of Chailles than our
counters exhibit we surely do
not know where the place is.
The very air of summer
seems to come to you as you
look at them, and the designs
prove that the artist had far
more Of summer beauty in his
heart than Of the chill days Of
this spring.
Such exquisite colorings Of
leaf and flower and the strict
fidelity to nature make these
Chailles an artistic pleasure to
wearer and beholder.
Price 50 cts; 50 inches wide.
Printed Mohairs this season
are SO far superior to what re-
suited from the first season that
unless you have seen them
with us you can have but little
idea of their delicate beauty.
We are very much in love
with the word dainty and
we use it often.
If it ever was the very word
of all words to use, then surely
it is now in speaking of these
Mohairs with their dainty
printed designs.
Nothing like them was ever
dreamed of as among the pos
sibilities &C certainly not at so
cts a yard, and that is the price
at which we sell them.
We can fancy a tea gown
daintily made of one of these
dainty printed Mohairs, but we
can not imagine them worn by
any but the daintiest lady.
They would exactly suit gen.
Ginghams are favorites with
ever so many, and we are glad
that they are.
We are simply telling what
every lady knows when we
remind you that the manu-
facturers this year have gone
artist mad.
The study and encourage
ment of drawing in our schools
and the schools of design in SO
many cities all have combined
to give to this age the close at
tention to harmony of color as
we'll as the most fanciful i'm
aginings of brightest genius.
Ginghams share in the craze
and we have them in such
lovely styles.

Preparations Now in Progress for That
Event.

The work Of preparing for the State mus
Ter Is being theoretically pushed Specia
trains will be run on the day of the muster
the one from the West leaving the Uniol
station, Monday, August 10. at s.l5 an,
arriving in the city at LBS. Tn
train from the West will leave Ban
gor at l0.42 and will arrive in thi
city at ll.56- The special train will leav,
Lewiston at 1926, and will connect with tn.
Portland special at Brunswick at 1910.
General Mitchell and Col. Harrington viii
arrive in the city next Monday to look after ar
engagements connected with their departments
"a few men from each company will proba
bly, arrive during next week. The troop.
will march from the trains directly to the
ground where dinner will be prepared fol-
them. Captain A. X. Paul, Brigade Quar-.
termaster, who is at present absent from the
the State will report for duty next
Wednesday, 1t is quite probable
that the rife range will be located
on the Leonard farm where Colonel Faring-
ton reports a good location. The work OF
erecting the targets will probably be done
Monday. People who have horses to let, for
the artillery practice, will report the fact to
Adjutant General Gallagher at once. The
tent bottoms have been hauled to the grounds
and some 250 tents will be pitched for the
troops. Each company is to have a mess
tent, sufficiently large to mess by them
selves this year.
The Adjutant General has two men from
Bath oyerhauling and repairing the tents.
The tent floors have been stored at Bangor
since the last muster, and are expected to
arrive Tuesday. Forty horses will be en-
gagged for the battery, and nine cook houses
built to cook in. Two companies will be as
signed to each building.
Some of the companies have asked to be
allowed fifty cents per day per man for ra-
tons and purchase their own stores and cook
them. This proposition is under con-
sideration and may be adopted pro-
viding all the companies wish to accept
such terms, and providing, too, there being
funds enough. Massachusetts, pays her SOL
diers 81 per day for services, and allows 81
per man per day to feed them. New Hamp
shire pays her men 81 per day for services
and allows 80 cents per man per day for ra-
tons. This method puts the care and re
sponsibility of rations upon each company,
and leaves but little or no chance for fault
finding
