The very latest thing out in the way
of stationery is an envelope of leather,
which can be locked and sent through
the mails without being tampered with.
Upon the back of the envelope is
tiny staple of gold or silver, over which
fits snugly link of similar material at

by dainty little paddock with Yale

A Slight CoId'

May be the precursor of long and
fatal illness. A cough, which seems a
mere tri1e at first, is often the begin
ming of the end.' Colds are usually
attended with fever, loss of appetite,
and other symptoms which, if neglected,
may speedily terminate in Pneumonia
or gradually lead to Consumption.
The experience of half century has
proved that no remedy is more effective
in all lung troubles than Ayers Cherry
Pectoral. 1t would be easy to cite
scores of instances where the timely use
of this medicine has soothed bronchial
irritation, relieved severe coughing, ar
rested inflammation, and thereby saved
life. Being at hand, it has often proved
the cheapest and most effective means
of curing disease, and therefore the

"REMINISCENCES.
First Mail Conveyance between Au-
gusta and Belfast.

Hon. David Dudley of Presque Isle, was
in the city, yesterday, the guest of his sister,
Mrs. Pishon, on the east side. He came all
the way from Aroostook with horse and car
riage, and left the county about week ago.
For some days he has been visiting his mother
who still resides in his native town of China,
and is an active lady of 81 years of age, and
who, only day or two ago, enjoyed car
riage drive with her son.
Mr.. Dudley remembers well the time when
the first mail was carried between Augusta
and Belfast. Col Moses Burleigh, then of
Palermo, but who afterwards removed to
Linneus, Aroostook county, grandfather of
Hon. f. c. Burleigh owned the route, and
personally carried the mail on horseback.
In those days sadlebags were the receptacles
for the United States mail between the points
mentioned. 1t was notable occurrence in
China, and other towns, when the first stage
coach was put upon the route. Reuben
Whittier of Palermo was the first stage driv-
er on the line, and was regarded as occupying
quite an eminent position in those days. Col
Samuel Buffum of Palermo, father of Hon.
Charles Bufum of Orono, was the first post
master in the Dudley neighborhood, the
office being only about ten rods from the
China line.
Mr.. Dudley has been one of the successful
business men of Aroostook, and was mem

EVENED UP.
Augustus Win Victory from the Boston
Blues,
After a Plucky Struggle by Both Teams.

Yesterday morning the prospects for ball
game looked very dubious, and the enthusi
ssts were correspondingly disheartened.
Early in the afternoon. however. the clouds
lifted, and large number assembled to wit
ness the second game with the Boston Blues.
Among the audience were many of Augusta's
prominent citizens with their ladies.
For seven innings the game was the closest
seen on the home grounds this year.
In the second inning the visitors made two
runs on hits by McAvoy and Kelly, and an
error by Patterson. The Augustus made one
score each in the second and fourth innings.
In the last of the sixth the Blues struck a
batting streak, and by a succession of base
hits sacrifices and slow fielding, made five
runs. The Augustus came to the bat with
determination in their eyes, and proceeded to
paralyze the hitherto effective curves of DAILY.
When the smoke cleared they had made Ave
runs, and the score was again tied. The
Blues went out in regular order during the
rest of the game; but the ed-stockings had
a perfect picnic with Bowker, the Blues
change pitcher, pounding him for eight runs
in the last two innings. The home team
played a remarkably steady game, the field
ing of Pushor and keay being especially
fine.
Ferdy took kindly to the Boston twirler,
and let out at the bat. Pous did good work for
the visitors.
Following is the detailed score:

Notes.

Underwood's lame hand is evidently ali
right"
Keay appeared to fill the gap at short stops
position in fine shape.
Capt. Freeman is putting up rattling
game at second base.
Pushor, who played with the Augustus yes
terday, is the son of DIR. Pushor of Fairfield.
He is one of the finest and most gentlemanly
players in the state.
Patterson is hitting the ball on the nose
every game, and playing rattling good
game in the field. Keep it up, Jake.
Mr.. Fred Chase umpired an excellent game
yesterday. The Boston players were much
pleased with his work, and Capt. Cobaugh
of the National Home who sat on the grand
stand behind the catcher, invited him after
the game to officiate at Togus Saturday.
Brown is pitching great ball for the Port
lands. Brown was always a favorite in this
city, and his many friends are pleased to
learn of his success.
1t is no use Mr. Webster going to visiting
mines before the game and endeayoring to
prejudice them against the umpire. The
reason of such conduct will be understood
Had you used the Augustus as squarely as
they used you, you would have made friends
of the many admirers of your play. The
audience who saw you the last time you
played here will need no explanation of your
release, We understand you have another
place and we trust you will keep straight and
play the good ball you are capable of. 1t
is to be hoped that You will appreciate the
kind treatment received in this city and not
again be guilty of yesterdays conduct. Such
things will only rebound to your own dis
credit.

was given credit for the fine work done by

A FALLING OUT
Between Lumber and Cotton Interests
on the st. Croix River.

CALAIS, Aug. 8.
For some time past there has been a con-
uoVersy between the St. Croix cotton mill
and the owners of the Union mills as to the
passage of logs by and below the cotton mills
I he log owners claim that the jams are
caused by defective passage-way in the
cotton mill dam, and the mill officials claim
that the lumbermen should keep their log
rolls clear. Legal proceedings have begun
in the provincial courts. The cotton mill
owners have been granted temporary in
junction restraining f. II. Todd &
sons from allowing logs to remain on their
lane and the decision of the court will be
given later upon a motion to remove the in
junction on the interests affected which are
very large. The case involves most of the

adjournment was made because the speakers
did not arrive, whereas the fact is the full
list of speakers started from Waterville, and
were stopped at Fairfield because there was
no crowd in attendance. The delegates
did not respond and the convention
was postponed one week while the
faithful were being visited and stirred up to
the importance of the occasion. The cases
reported from all portions of the county
of old line democrats declaring for protec-

and republicans are happy. The party that
