| An electric light has been placed over
the steps leading to the veranda on the Col

| improvement on the old order of things
which is fully appreciated by those having
| occasion to pass in and out of the place.

| Mr.. c. II. Nelson was around one of his
/ colts yesterday when he let his foot fly and
hit him over the eye, cutting a cash that
made it necessary to take several stitches.
| II is not a serious thing however, and Mr..
N. is about town with a bandsge around
his head. He will be all right for the big
banquet tonight.
Already the windows and show cases of
dealers in those goods which are bought
for gifts are decked out in a manner de-
cidediy suggestive Of the approaching holi-
days. and one trader told us the other day
he sold some half dozen articles in his line,
all of good price, which the purchasers
were to dispose of as holiday presents
| What is known as the holiday trade gener-
ally continues three or four weeks. Twen-
ty years ago the bulk of it in many places
was onfined 10 the day before Christmas.
The Bangor News has this reference 70
one of the local enterprises here: at
seems that in Wstcrville a thing is no
quicker said than done. While the people
os Bangor are vrangling over the question
of the proper medical assistance in running

are laying the foundation for the desired
building, and as the thing now stands they
will probably have well equipped hospital
before Bangor shall have decided whether
the inmates of her proposed establishment
shall take their medicine in large or small
doses
DR.. Ralph Pulsifer, who hiss diplomas
from medical colleges in Philadelphia and
Boston, and several certificates of practical
courses in different lines of practice, has
leased the rooms recently vacated By Hon.
W. T. Iisines, and thoroughly renovated
the came. putting on new paper, painting
the wood work, laying beautiful new car
pets, putting in handsome desk and other
furniture. We congratulate the doctor on

Only one ef the horse car rioters came
before our municipal court yesterday, it
appearing that the others committed their
offence outside the jurisdiction of this
court. The one who stood up before
Judge Stewart, Grant by name, brake
man on the Msine Central, claimed that he
was mad at the time he made the disturb
ance, and that being the state of his mind.
he was not responsible for what be did.
The Judge did not see the force of his
reasoning, and after remarking that if he
expected TO go through the world on that
principle he would probably encounter
numerous obstacles, he put on a fine of
$40, which, with costs, amounted to about
SIG, which the young man paid.
The chief topic of conversation now,
particularly among all who are Interested
in equine matters, is the grand banquet
which is to come of tonight at the Elm
wood. No effort will be spared on the part
of the managers to make the affair in every
way satisfactory and just Tbat it should be-
The belief is general here that Mr.. Nelson
has bred the fastest trotter in the world
and one that, il he lives till next season and
meets With no accident, will make record
as such and it is also generally conceded
that bis work in the breeding and develop
ment of valuable horses for the past ten or
dozen years, has been of great Ard en-
during value 10 the material interests Of
Maine and that be has been an important
factor in placing our State in the front
rank of the great horse producing sections
of the country. 1t is very fitting that there
should be public recognition like that
which will occur at the Elmvood tonight.
