MAINE CENTRAL ITEMS
The Passenger Earnings Tor july
Amount to About 5 5000
A Unique Parade In Which Beaut''u'
Women Take Part.

During the month of July 1877 passengers
arrived in this city from Chicago. over the
Maine Central road. This shows the result
of superior travelling facilities. The chi
cago, Niagara Falls, White Mountains and
Portland line has proven to be good thing
for Portland. The people OF Chicago have
taken advantage of the daily Pullman cars
that run between the city of great enter
prises and the city by the sea, and next year,
without doubt, the travel to this city over
their line will be very much augmented.
The passenger earnings of the Maine Cen
trail for the month of July reached the large
sum of about $4,000, which is quite gain
over the earnings for the same month last
year. There was a large gain in The earn
ingsof the White Mountain Division of the
road, which speaks we'll for the popularity
of this branch.
The White Mountain hotels were never so
crowded as at the present time. Every
house has about all the guests 1t can ac-
commodate, and all are enjoying very pros
porous season. Their prosperity is owing In a
large degree to the advertisement of the
mountain region sent out by the Maine
central company.
Next Tuesday the grand annual coaching
parade takes place at Bethlehem, N. IL.
The Maine Central will run special excur-
sion trains from Nor4h Conway and Bartlett
and way stations. Coaches from thirty
White Mountain hotels will enter the COM
petition. and will render this the great
mountain gala day of the season. A banner
is offered for the best coach load of beauti-
full ladies'; banner for the best general
decorations, and banner for the best team
of horses. There will be charming music,
gay costumes and spirited horses. This
parade will this year overshadow all pre-
vious efforts, and will be the most magnificent
pageant ever seen in the White Mountains.
The most novel and enjoyable event of the
year is to be closed by brilliant display of
fireworks in the evening"

H<HE most interest

say about Parasols
and Sunshades is that
they're all marked dosOs
half and fauo-tAt,as from
the summer prices.
With one or two excep-
tons there are few among
those left here that won't
be as desirable next year
as this, SO if there is a saw
ing to be made of any,
where from one to three or
four dollars it is worth
while to look after it, is it
not?
For example, - twenty
or more high class silk
Parasols, the finest goods
we have had, are marked
$3.50 for the choice; they
were $3.50, 1915, $500
and up.
Another group at $3.50
were double, and SO on.
Every Parasol we sell
now at the mark down
price is not only a rare
bargain but a profitable in
vestment f for you.
The consummate thing
for a chamber, boudoir,
sewing room, room

tage Screen.
Three panels, S II feet
high, made from seasoned
white wood stained to look
like ebony, cherry and
walnut, also in the natural
white wood color. The
