A Fated Vessel.


Old sailors shake their heads and
look wise when the loss of the Thorn
aston schooner George B. Mcfarland
is mentioned. They have avoided her
persistently and it has been almost
impossible for her to ship a crew in
Maine. Her i'll luck is said to have
been foretold by Portland medium
who announced just as the Mcfarland
was finished, in 1869, that the spirit of
Capt. Kidd was to sail vessel about
to be launched at Thomaston. Be-
levers in the mediums knowledge
were not surprised when the schooner
stuck on the ways while being launch
ed and had to go into the dry dock for
repairs before going to sea atall. Since
then her record has been one of dis
aster.
Her first commander, Capt. Little
ton Strong, got tired of partnership
with the spirit of the renowned pirate
or of something else, and gave it up
after two or three unluclSy voyages,
since when he has been uniformly suc-
cessful. Capt. A. @. Strong came
next, but the vessel showed strange
perversity in sailing into storms, and
after numerous accidents was aban-
doned in mid-ocean. Somebody picked
her up and carried her to Europe, and
Capt. Strong tried itagain. Two days
out from Europe, when becalmed,
she was struck by suddeH squall,
and Capt. Strong, passing along the
deck, caught his foot in a rope, fell
and broke his leg. She was refitted
after her return TO Maine, and Capt.
Strong made a last trip in her, when
she was wrecked again and burned as
dangerous to navigation. n.-Lewiston

This Is the Time When You
Select Your Wall
Paper,
And Find That There Are Sew
eral Styles to Select
From.
Amateur Paper Hanging as
1t Is Done in the Home
Circle.
The Professional Paper
Hanger and His Fine
Work.

The mural decorations of your house
about this time of the year seem to look
rather dull. There is grayish tinge
on the coloring that betrayS a covering
of dust and SCOT that has gathered in
infinitesimal speeks during the winter.
You are brought. to notice this at first
by careless remark from your eldest
daughter, who says to her mother:
'Oh, ma, l see the styles in wall
paper this spring are just too
lovely" A day later your better half
wants to know: "James, do you think
we can afford to repaper the parlor and
sitting-roOm this spring? The parlor
does not look so very badly, but the
sitting-roOm looks frightfully dirty"
One week after, when the wife of your
bosom SAYS she cannot live in a smoke
house. and begins to compare the sit
ting-room to blacksmith shop, you
know it's about time to cave. There is
no use of putting it off longer. Remarks
about taxes, poor collections. ETC.,
do not have even a discOur-
aging effect. They are received in
silence, but the silence is ominous, so
you compromise Oh the sitting room
with the proviso that the paper must be
cheap, and that you do not care to go
into bankruptcy just yet. Perhaps you
make the poverty plea still stronger,
and declare that you will do the paper
ing yourself. as you can't afford to pay
princely salary to paperhanger.

THE MAN WHO HANGS HIS OWN PAPER.

THE MAN WHO HANGS HIS OWN PAPER.
Next you are forced into one of those
unIucky pilglimages through the stores,
lust looking at the styles" You dis
cover that there is just as much style
to wall paper as there is to a spring
bonnet. You see wall paper this year
that makes you think of the old styles
OF twenty or thirty years ago,
when the walls used to be be-
decked with scenes of the Revolutionary
war, Gen. Washington crossing the
Delaware and the Hessians casting
parting glance of regret at their bag
gage, and all that sort of thing. The
newer styles are less inclined to embon-
point. There are no fat matrons feed
ing chickens in the lates styles of wall
papers, nor any prosperous farmers eat
ing ham sandwiches under the ances-
tral What you look for now is
something in the directoire style, with
a good deal of trailing vine and an occa-
sional refined pansy just blooming. or
rose that would smell just as sweet by
another name, because it. doesn't smell
at all.
With the aid of your wife. who, per-
haps, unconsciously continually directs
your attention to the higher priced
papers-papers clad in spangles and
girt with true love knots-you select a
modest pattern exhibiting lot of lilies,
trying to see which will get to the bot
tom of the pattern first.
Take the roll home and lay it on the
piano and go out into the shed to mix
paste. Meanwhile, your wife and
daughter have pulled the extension.

f. C. PENNEY ARRESTED,
Charged With Removing Chains
from His Own Dump Carts.

F. c. Penney, the well-known real
estate man, was arrested last night on
the charge of willful destruction of
property. The arrest was made on the
complaint of Street Commissioner
Tripp, who has been having some fun
with Penney over the disputed grade of
Lyndale avenue near Twenty-hfth
treet. Penney was bit terly opposed
so the compromise grade agreed
to by the council committee, and the
irony of fate decreed that the grading
should be done with dump carts hired
from Penney himself, and he objected
strongly, even going SO far as to order
the commissioner to stop the work,
which the latter refused to do. During
the night some one removed some of the
chains and other attachments of the
carts. and hence the arrest of Mr.. Pen
ney, who is charged with the offense.
He was released on 500 bonds.

MANAGER BYRON RETURNS
From New York With New Ideas

From New York With New Ideas
for the Coming Exposition. 9
General Manager Byron, of the ex-
position. returned from New York yes
terday afternoon, and reported good
progress in the matter of securing at
fractions for the big show. While in
New York he secured the promise of
several very novel, interesting
and instructive mechanical eX-
hibits, consisting of various machines
for manufacturing small articles of
various kinds. Some of the machines
are very complicated and ingenious
and present a very peculiar appearance
in motion. Those who remember the
crowds of people who used to stand
around the whip winding machine last
year will beo glad to know of these
acquisitions.
A Japanese village of ten people who
manufacture pottery, jewelry, bamboo
work, screens and fancy articles of pc
culiar Celestial types, were also partial
ly engaged, and if they come here will
certainly be very attractive feature.
Gen. Byron met III. Jay Smith, repre-
sentative of the art department. in New
York, and together the two Wis
tied many of the paintings which
Nlr. Smith has secured for the
art gallery. Among the number are
several large pictures of the class of
Munkacsy's ''Christ Before Plate"
which have been placed on exhibition
i'll different parts of the country and
viewed by hundreds of people at a
higher price of admission than is
charged for the entire exposition, art
gallery. sculpture court and all.
Mr. Byron says that it is
no eXaggeration to say that
when brought together this will be the
finest collection of paintings ever
brought together in America, not eX-
cepting exhibitions in New ork city.
General Manager Byron attended a
rehearsal OF the Thirteenth regiment
band, and says that there is rare treat
in store for all lovers of music in the
Northwest.
A meeting of the directors will be
held in few days to take action re-
garding some OF the attractions, which
have signifed their willingness to come

THEY ALL DO IT.
Everybody Jumps, in Spite of the
Wire Netting.

There is one thing that happens
during every game of ball at. Athletic
park that never fails to raise roar of
laughter in the grand stand. When a
hot foul tip spins up over the catcher's
head. with long, red back hair stream
ing ont behind it, every man in the angle
of the seats. and for several feet each
way from the line of the ball let's out
high staccato shrek. throws up his
hands and ducks his head behind the
benches to avoid being hit, but the ball
doesn't come into the grand stand at
all. 1t strikes against the wire
netting and falls back harmlessly
against the ground. Then the people.
who lodged straighten up and smile
and look silly, and the people who sat
in the same place and did the same
thing the day before let out loud,
long, and derisIve shout, while the
umpire yells foul and the game goes
gaily on.
