WATERvILLE, May S-The BowdOins and
Colbys crossed bats for the second time to-
day. This game at the first saw some hard
hitting and loose fielding. Wagg pitched a
fine game for the Colbys. and had he been
properly supported would have held the
Bowdoins down to a small score. Thomp-
son was batted hard. About one hundred
students came up from Brunswick but had
no opportunity of using the FIRE works left
over from the first victory. The umpiring

An Invention That win Help Them to
Remember Their Errands.
Atlanta Constitutional
An Atlsnta man has found boon to
wives who have forgetful husbands. That
is reminder" check. The check is
shaped like fve-pointed star, and is ar
ranged on dial in such way that the
points can be madeto rest u pom the different
inscriptions upon the dial. When Mr.
Forgeteverything starts to his office in the
morning he is handed his check, arranged
for the day. This he puts in his pantaioons
pocket, where, being thoroughgoing Amer
lean, he is sure to touch it some time during
the morning. He sees that point rests
upon "soft-shelled crabs, stacks, peer
brains" "sour milk" or whatever his pet
ter-half most desires. In the center OF the
star is a small celluloid plate, on which ne
finds written directions as to other artiGIes
which he must take home with him. Inc
face of the dial bears the names OF decioeo
variety of articles-everything from
needle to cradle, from parlor rug to
washtub.
Each of the other four points of the star
bears tender motto. Point two is illu-
minated by the familiar text, this time IN
old Roman letters, Love the Glver.
Point three bears the touching but pertinent
sentence, "This is Not Club Nigh" the
mot" in the largest letters possible. Point
four is decorated with "Whst is Home
Without Father" The fifth point is LETT
blank for the owners name. The inventor
and patentee of this reminder check is
an Atlanta stencil manufacturer. He has
made them in different designs, but COM
plains that they are not very popular. Inc
men don't take to them.

Too Many Chances to Lend When He Wore
Jewels and Fine Clothes.
Chicago Herald;
An advertising man connected with one OF
the morning papers used to appear at his
Office resplendent with rich jewelry and daz-
zle the eyes of his associates thereby. Re
Gently he has discarded this display, and
now he appears with shoestring watch
guard attached to Waterbury chronometer
and with no gems decorating his person.
As it is known that his income has by no
means been curtailed, he was asked the
other day by friend whether he had con-
cluded to lay up his treasurers in heaven,
where moth and rust do not corrupt and
where thieves do not break in and steal.
Although am doing something in that
line" he said 81 have discarded my jewelry
for another reason. Old friends who are
down at the heel used to notice my elabor-
ate display of precious stones and use that
as a pretense to come and touch me TOR
small loans, which they would return in
the morning Had believed implicitly in
their promises life would have been one con-
tinual night to me, as the morning or the
friends did not materialize. l found that
my jewelry was bait for these people, and
though it has damaged my personal pride
somewhat, have discarded the gems for
self-protection. When they come to me
now and make touch point feelingly to
the shoestring and say that am broke my
self This is the sort Of diplomatic cross
counter, and they invariably 60 down under
it. When all of my old friends die I will
resume my baubles."

THE LIGHTS WENT OUT,
But Iir Was Not Caused by the Carbon
Settlers Strike.

But Iir Was Not Caused by the Carbon
Settlers Strike.
A few minutes before o'clock last night
there was an almost total eclipse of the
electric lights on the streets, and thousands
thought the carbon Sc tiers strike had oc-
casiohed it, but it was only caused by a
necessary shift of some kind in the ma
chinery, and lasted but few minutes. The
illumi ination was reported good over the
city generally.
1t is said the strikers propose to object to
the Allegheny County Electric Light light
ing the Exposition building, but Mr.. S. A.
Duncan, Secretary of the company. scouts
the idea that such move could succeed,
and expresses the belief that the strikers
are not in earnest. Mr.. A. F. KeatinZ
thinks there will not be any trouble.
Master Workman Ross, of District As
sembly No. 8, K. of L., does not attach
much importance to the talk of labor or
carnations boycotting the Exposition So
ciety. and thinks they will generally re-
gard such a proposition as unwise, as it
would be poor policy to antagonize the en-
tire community.

GIRLS SHOULD learn TO SWIM.
A Valuable Accomplishment By NO Means
DInicult to Acq uire.

A Valuable Accomplishments By NO Means
Difficult to Acc uire.
Why do not American women learn to
swim -? They now 60 yachting, dressed in
pretty nautical suits. They handle sail
boats and pull rowboais. They climb along
slippery rocks, and are in every way ex-
posed to falling into the water in greater
numbers in summer than men whose avoca-
tions are ashore. Yet with rare exceptions,
if woman falls into the water she is next
to powerless to save herself from drowning.
AT the bathing beaches one very rarely
sees a woman striking out like man.
Even where one does she looks ashore as
though she were doing something un-
womanly. This is purely an American
superstition, for in all the great European
cities swimming is almost as much part of
a young lady's education as playing the
piano or making embroidery.
The modern bathing suits leave a woman
as free to swim as man. 1t is an art very
easy to learn. and in the natatorium in New
York, kept by German woman, girls learn
to swim in half dozen lessons.
Almost every day records some case of
woman falling off yacht or being carried
off her feet by the undertow. The male
protector" is usually at hand, but were he
not there would be drowning tragedy in
almost every instance.
The first canoe one ought to learn to
paddle is his own body. The women are no
exceptions to this rule, and every consider
able city in the United States should have
a good natatorium.

PROGRESS OF TIE WORK.
Seven Days Work ON the Beautiful Exposi-
tion Buildings.


tion Buildings.
The week just closed at the Exposition
has brought about results that are pleasing
to both the public and the managers The
main building has been practically finished,
and show stands have been erected every
day so rapidly that at the close of work last
evening fully 125 were finished. Some of
these are to cost, in building alone, at least
5000, outside of the valuable exhibits
shown.
The handsome suite of rooms, to be used
for the art gallery. are now being hung with
the rare and valuable paintings and en-
cravings, gathered by critics for this event.
There are beautiful old portraits, handsome
landscapes and superb marine scenes, such
as have never been shown here before.
The Exposition managers will be in their
new Offices and ready for business in the
building, by Wednesday afternoon. As to
Mechanical Hall, it was given out last
night on the word of the contractor that it
would positively be ready. and the ma
chinery would be moving on the opening
date. By Wednesday or Thursday the floor
will be cleared enough for tine admission of
exhibits, and they can come as fast as they
please after that. By Saturday 1t is prom.
ised the entire building will be closed in,
and steam will be up in the immense boil
ers, ready for any form of mechanical work.

Many and varied have been the claims
made for the two Dakotas, Minnesota, Ne
braska and other new portions OF the great
West and Northwest. Tons of printed matter
containing descriptive and statistical infor-
nation of these regions have been scattered
broadcast throughout the land, and while
these have attracted attention to the location
named, yet there is one way of settling the
question for yourself, at once and for all
time, and that is by ocular demonstration
prove it, by taking trip through the West
and examine for yourself its vast stone
houses of agricultural and mineral wealth;
visit its growing young towns, already far
in advance of the staid old villages of the
East, and see if here is not the best avenue
for the safe and profitable investment of
your money, brains, muscle or enterprise.
To encourage intelligent investigation of
the wonderful regions penetrated by its
lines, the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway has arranged for Sc
ries Of harvest excursions to points
in Minnesota, Iowa, North and South Da-
kota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah,
Idaho and Montana, to be run during the
months of August, September and October,
for which tickets will be sold at one fare for
the round trip, or one-half the usual rates.
The conditions are extremely liberal, allow
ing 80 days for return and permitting STOP
over at different points. These excursions
will afford rare opportunities to investigate
the claims made for these wonderfully pro-
ductive regions, to locate a claim on 160
acres of Government free land to buy quar-
ter section or more of the cheap railroad
lands, to invest in town property, to "spy
out" the multifarious mineral deposits of
the Black Hills, or to make a trip for health
and pleasure. For detailed information
apply to any ticket agent or write to E. P.

THE L. & @. METHODS.
Secrets of the Wishart Detectives
Told in the Open Court.
A CHILD SPY AMONG WITNESSES.
Appeals From the City Assessments on a
Southside Street.
GENERAL LEGAL NEWS BRIEFLY MOTEL

Judge Stowe yesterday heard the appeal
OF John A. Martin from the decisions OF
Alderman Carlisle fning him for selling
milk on seven different Sundays. Mr..
Martin was represented by General Will
lam Blakely, while Attorney Yost was pres
ent on behalf OF the Law and Order Society.
Captain Wishart, Alderman Carlisle and
several of Wishart's detectives were also on
hand.
Detective e. P. Hesser was the first wit
ness. He testified to having either bought
or saw others buy milk from Martin on the
Sundays in question.
Hesser was asked by General Blakely il
he was not a common informer. He replied
that he was not, but that he was employed
to detect persons engaging in worldly en-
ployment on Sunday.
Detective j. P. Young gave the same
testimony as Hesser.
Martin next took the stand. He said that
he had o'sell his milk on Sunday to keep it
from spelling, and further, that he had to
agree TO take the milk from the farmers on
Sunday or they would not supply him
through the week. He furnishes milk to be-
tween 800 and 400 families and several
hotels.
Mr.. Yost wanted to know if Martin could
not keep the cream and make butter out of
it the next day. Martin replied that he was
not in the butter business.
Mr.. Yost next wanted to know if Martin
did not put ice on his milk to keep it coolt
entice customers. After some argument the
question was ruled out.
DR.. J. N. Dickson was called with the in
tention of showing that milk was neces-
sary article of diet. and often prescribed by
physicians. Mr.. Yost, however, objected to
him testifying, and the objection was sus-
tanned.
Clyde Taylor was next called. He was a
little, white-haired boy in knee trousers, and
in answer to Judge Stoves question, said
that he was nearly II years old. The lad
testified to having bought milk from Mar
tin, and then in answer to General Blakelv
said that Captain Wishart gives him S
every Sunday to go around and buy can
dies, cigars, etc. The boys father is Elisha
Taylor, of No. $50 Market street, ALLIE
gheny, and consented to his son working for
Wishart.
Alderman Brinker was put on the stand,
and admitted having kept his Office open on
Sunday to take an information against
Wishart.
At the conclusion of the testimony Judge
Stowe took the papers. The case will be
argued tomorrow morning. The argument
on the appeals of A. J. Kearcher, the drug
glsr, will be heard at that time.

Fourth avenue, a number of apparatus have
been put into the third story. Captain
Snyder has put in a rowing machine at his
own expense, and he considers it the best
thing for muscular development that he
has. There are also bells and clubs. Cap
tain Snyder says that he has not taken much
pains to fix up his house because he expects
new building will be erected next year.
No. has the horse and engine drill at 8
o'clock every afternoon.
Concerning the relative advantages Of
different kinds of athletic tools, Captain
Hannigan said: 81 do not believe much in
these heavy dumbbells which weigh 100
pounds and over. They make a mans
muscles hard and knotty. A fireman wants
elastic muscles. He will be quicker and
more enduring. 1t takes longer to reach
certain strength with light bells and clubs,
but the results are better. The man is more
supple, and his muscular development is
more general"
