Days Of Direct Taxes,

A well-known resident of Cape Eliza
beth brings into the PRESS Office two docu-
ments which preserve record of the
methods the United States government
took to raise money by direct taxes-in
1914 and 1915. These documents are re-
ceipts given to the gentleman's grandfather
by the Collector of the Seventh Collection
District. of Massachusetts, which included
Maine. In those days the tariff did net
yield an abundant revenue, so the United
States levied upon mans furniture and
1ewelry. The taxes were levied under the
Act of Aug. 2. 1873, "to lay and and collect
adirect tax within the United States" In
1914 this Cape Elizaberth citizen was
taxed lump sum of $11.16 on his property
W. Storer signed the receipt as collector.
In 1915 the tax receipt specified So for fur
niture and 50 for two silver watches.

THOSE HOLES IN THE WHARF.
Appearances on Grand Trunk
Wharf That Suggest
CareIessness.

Yesterday morning early, a stevedore
discovered on Grand Trunk wharf, No. 2,
signs that somebody had, either accident
ally or on purpose, come near setting the
wharf afire. This wharf. which Is the only
one that has the original shed, built forty
years ago, still standing on it. The others,
having been ravaged by the fire that de-
stroyed the elevator in 1874 or other fires
since. The wharf itself has been rebuilt
twice, the last time the deck being built of
four inch plank. In this wharf there were
found three holes, each about four inches
in diameter, where the deck had been
burned through, and the fire had, in two
cases. probably dropped into the water.
In the third place, the hole came on top of
string timber resting on the piling. Fire
had burned down into the stringer, but
stopped before the air got at it, or before 1t
did much damage of Its own accord. The
man who discovered the fire made an ex-
animation of the premises. but could find
no cinders or Goals that could have been
dropped on the wharf, and so set 1t afire.
1t is not probable that the fire could have
been started by smokers, and the cause re-
mains mystery. 1t is suggested that hot
plumbing irons might make such holes as
those that were found. but no plumbers
have been working on the wharf for some
months,

THE MILE TRACK.
A Meeting Monday Afternoon of
Those Interested In IL.
Nelson's Proposed Track at Water
Vile Not Assured.

The horsemen in town and others who
are interested in having track build on
the land offered by Mr.. jose in Cape
Elizabeth will meet with Mr.. j. f. Barrett
at the Preble House Monday afternoon at
O'Clock. The object of this meeting is to
decide upon what sort of track to build
and upon the organization and means
necessary to do it. 1t is by no means de-
cided that the track shall be kite shaped.
Indeed, 1t seems quite as likely that the
regulation egg-shaped from will be
adopted. Kite-shaped tracks are new
thing, and 1t is by no means certain that
they are the best, all things being taken
into consideration.
But it is certain that the track, if built at
all. will be mile track, and one of the
best in the country. Moreover 1t may be
the only good mile-track In Maine. G. IL.
Nelson has announced that he would build
one on the road between Waterville and
Fairfield; but it is understood that the diff
ficulties in getting the proper area of land
have prevented his plans.
So there is prospect that mile track

for some years the most important one in
Maine. This, of course, would make Port
land the place for the best races in the
state. At the present time 1t is no place at
all for races, and those who have wished
to see good trotting have been forced to go
to distant and much smaller places.
Woodford's Park has lost Its reputation
for some reason or other; and If really
good races are given there, the attendance
Is no wise proportionate to the interest
really felt in Portland In trotting.
Maine at the present time is one of the
three or four great horse-breeding states in
the country. Kentucky and California
beat US, of course; but in New England, at
least, Maine stands first. This years 2.30
list is something to be proud off; and Its
size will probably stimulate to greater
achievements next year.
Whoever has seen the tremendous
crowds in the grand stands at Bangor and
Lewiston viewing the races at the Eastern
Maine and State Fairs must recognize that
the interest in well-bred trotters amounts
I'd something.
There is no reason why all the crowds
should go from Portland instead of to-
wards her.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
SHIP AHoY.

cnlI AaO1s
There was another large audience in City
Hall last night to witness the second pro-
duction of "Ship Alloy" The perform
ance went off with the same smoothness
that it did on the first night, with the addi-
ton of the prize verse of the topical song,
ibid 1t ever occur to you," contributed by
local talent. This verse was recited by the
Admiral, not sung. owing to the fact that
1t was not determined upon and given to
him until about three minutes before the
curtain went un.
The competition for the prize was very
brisk, between 100 and 200 verses being re-
ceived. ALI but five OF these were thrown
out at once for. some reason, such as un-
suitability of metre, glaring defect in
grammar or rhyme. The five were taken
before committee of newspaper men, ali
experts. and whose judgment can be relied
upon, and unanimous choice was made CT
the following bright stanza, written by
Mr.. j. E. Mariner:
Your beautiful city is quite fine place.
Did 1t ever, occur to you?
But In some little things you're behind In the
trace,
Oiu IL ever occur 10 you?
when come on this STAGE and looking down,
Six large people jammed in a settee,
cry, is that opera house ever to be?
Does that ever occur to you?
The members Of the company have been

Marshall P. Wilde being chief captain in

A large number of people from Saco and

evening.
PYGMALIoN AND GALATEA.
This afternoon and evening the Players
Club repeat their former triumph in "Pyg-
malion and Galatea," the beautiful Greek
drama. whose every line almost, falls trip
pingly upon the ear. The company to ap-
year today is headed by Mr.. John A. Nc
Gowan as "Pygmalion." and Mrs. Emma
Moseley as ''Galatea." Both were in the
cast last season, as were also Mr.. John P.
WEIGH as "Leucippe," and Mr.. Robert
Rexdale as "Agesimos," gentlemen need
ing no introduction to Portland audience.
Miss Teresa Glllen, who plays "Cynisca,"
is Boston amateur, admirably adapted to
the part. and Mr.. Carl Warren finds in
"Chrysos" role just suited to his abil ity
as comedian. Miss Louise Fowler as
Myrine," Miss Lottie Bruce as Daphne"
and Mr.. Tobias A. Burke as "Mimos," are
sure to be excellent in their parts.

THE LATE c. E. q. JACKSON.
Action OF the Meeting of the Stand
Ing Committee Of the diocese Of
Maine. ~

At a recent meeting of the standing COM
mittee Of the Diocese of Maine, General
John Marshall Brown was elected a men,
Der of the committee in the place of the
late Mr.. George E. B. Jackson, and also
as its secretary.
The following minute expressive of the
committees high esteem for their late as
sociate has been placed upon their rec
ords:
The standing committee of the Diocese Of
Maine desire to place on record their apprecia-
ton OF their late associate, Mr.. George L. b.
Jackson. A member of the committee since
1854, and for many years its secretary, no duty
connected with these Offices was over sighted
by him. This single feature, MOI cover, was
but part OF that longer, well rounded character
as man and Christian which may well enti-
tie him to The rank of model churchman. Pos
seSsing robust mind and great capacity for
practical affairs, Mr.. jackson had coupled with
the gifts deep spiritual temper, trained and
disciplined by the church's system, which ele-
waited all that he did into the highest region of
duty to God and Christ. Clear and positive in
careful lifelong study, no one was more consld
crate of the opinions Of others or more modest
in the expression OF his own. Personally his as
sociates will miss very s0rely his wise counsel
that unfailing courtesy, and those genial and
generous ways which appealed at once to their
affection aud their respect
Inc commlttee would express to Mr.. Jack
sons family their deep sympathy with them In
the loss OF loving husband and devoted father.
