The Mackerer Off the shore.

The mackerelmen are beginning to
come in from their trips off this shore.
The Laura Bell, Captain Mallack, which
arrived Monday night, brought in so bar
rels of fresh mackerel caught off this
shore. The Laura Bell went direct to
Gloucester, where she, packed out her
Cape shore catch, picking up her off
shore catch on the wary from Gloucester
to Portland. The schooner Ethel and
Addie, Cuptain Dyer, came in yesterday
with so barrels caught off shore. The
Lizzie Maud, Captain Ben Squirting,
brought so barrels, which were sold
fresh. The Laura Bell and Ethel and
Addie brought their fish to A. M. Smith
& Co.
The fishermen report that the off shore
schools of maekerel are small and NOV
ing fast to the eastward. The fish them
selves are in excellent condition, said to
be the best for years. After they get a
little fatter they will turn out No. and

The Flag Seems To Be .Hoodooed.

The Cleveland and Stevenson flag of
the Young Mems Democratic Club is
evidently ''hoodooed," in spite of its I'M
deniable beauty. 1t was related yester-
day morning how the flag would unfold
itself to the gaze of the Young Demo-
Gratis only after persistent urging. Still
another freak of the flag was made pub
lie yesterday. One end of the rope
which holds the flag was attached to the
chimney of the dividing wall between
the Lunt block and Perry block. In
some way the flag got a twist ON the rope
of such force as to pull the chimney
over ON to the roof of the Lnnt block,
where it proceeded to make "a hole and
tumble into the room below. The Young
Men will pay the bills.

THE DEMOCRATS.
They VIII Meet in County Convention To-
day and Lively Time They VIII Have.

The Democratic county convention will
assemble at Reception Hall at 10 o'clock
today. Unless all signs fail it will be one
of the most interesting conventions of
the season. 1t does not seem to be de-
termined definitely who will preside.
There is some talk of Pencil of Bruins
wick, and it is probable that he will be
rendered the honor.
OF course the one thing upon which the
minds of all will be intent is the sheriff
fight. The odds are undeniably in favor
of City Marshal SWEET; but the field is so
big that the result of the race may be
modified by interferences on the back
stretch. From at least two towns there
will be contesting delegations. From
Deering will come the Somers men, head
ed by McKone and Alden, and the ''anti-
snappers" elected by the ward caucuses.
From Yarmouth will come doughty Cap
tain Dick Harding's Somers men, the
local time contingent, and also the STAN
dard time Democrats who prefer Toll
uldu. DcSIuoS OWSUt, DOluSIS dIu IOl-
man, there are also in ithe race W. S. San
born of Standish, S. c. Morrill, of Gray,
and George Newcomb of Bridgton. Some
of these may be distanced before the race
begins; but enough will stay in to make
the contest lively.
For county attorney there may be ano-
Their brush, Col. A. w. Bradbury, P. J.
Larrabee, ESQ.,, and Chas. Dunn, Jr.,
ESQ.,, of this city, and Geo. B. Emery,
Esq, of Gorham being mentioned. But
the county attorney contest will be only
a side show to the sheriff fight.
George F. McQuillan, ESQ.,, seems to be
alone in aspiring to be nominated Judge
of Probate.
For Senators, of whom there must be
four, candidates seem to be scarce.
Luther Roberts of this city and E. L.
Poor of Sebago are spoken Of
There does not seem to be any one very
anxious to run for county treasurer OF
county commissioner. But aspirants
enough may show up before the day is
done.

Another large audience greeted Man
ager McCallum's home company in
"The Paymaster'' last evening and all
seemed much pleased with this very en-
tertaining play Mr.. McCallum deserves
the warm commentator of theatre goers
for bringing such good company to his

that for every play put on there is always
some new scenery which is very compli-

A WIRE FENCE.
1t Is Causing Much Trouble Between
Deering and Falmouth Land Owners.

Lit Is Causing Much Trouble Between
Deering and Falmouth Land Owners.
The case of malicious mischief brought
against Daniel P. Young of Falmouth, on
complaint of Mrs. George w. Furlong of
Deering, was up again in Judge Elders
court in Deering yesterday. The whole
trouble arose over line fence between
Young's farm and farm owned by the
complainant in Westbrook, on the Fail
mouth line. The story of the disagree
ment is too long to be rehearsed in full
Some time ago twas so far adjusted
that a line was run between the two
farms, and upon this line MI. Young
built a nice wire fence. But one morn
ing not long after the fence was COM
pleted Mr.. Young found that the posts
of the fence had been sawed off near the
ground and the fence tipped over onto
the grounds. 1t seems that the Fur
longs had done it on the GROUND that the
fence was not exactly on the line, getting
over onto the Furlong land two or three
inches in places. Mr.. Young was much
exasperated by this treatment and got so
mad in fact that he tried to ease his
mind by pulling down the fence of the
Furlong pasture and letting their cattle
out. The Furlongs caught him at this
pastime, and had him brought before
Judge Elder charged with malicious
mischief. Young admitted the charge;
and told his provocation. Under Judge
Elders advice the Furlongs agreed to
drop the complaint of malicious mischief
if Young would build the fence over sat
isfactorily. So Mr.. Young toiled in the
rain week to build the fence over; but
when it was about done the Furlongs
found fault, and the whole case came up
in court again yesterday.
Through Judge Elders efforts the case
was again deferred until the fence view
ers of Westbrook can pass upon the
fence.
The matter will be heard again July
7th.

Life's spring for us is nearly past,
Lies summer is before us,
We know not what the years may hold
OF cloud or sunshine for us.
Together we have worked and played,
Some ties must now be broken,
We all may never meet again
When parting words we've spoken.
Yet though we never meet again
With every tie unbroken,
And though our ways lie far apart
When our good-byes we've spoken,
There still will linger in our lives,
To strengthen hopes or fears,
The friendships formed the influence felt
Throughout the past four years.
But let us choose in these new years
The truest and the best;
For right not might our forces spend,
The mean and wrong detest,
And at life's final parting time
A record clear and true
May each one leave who's Numbered with
P. III. S. Ninety-two.
The list of the graduating class has al
ready been printed.

SHERIDANS' FIELD DAY.
a Remarkable Day of Sports and a Jolly
Good Time All Around.


One of the happiest events in the
history of the Sheridan Rifles occurred
yesterday at Long Island, it being their
annual field day. Honoraries and in
vited guests with the actives assembled
at the armory at $50 sharp, and at 9
o'clock the start was made for the
Island. On arrival the fun began at
once. Two base ball teams were organ
lied and an exciting game played be-
tween the,Critics and the Buttercups. A
second game was played in the after
noon between the same teams for a gold
lined silver emp which was won by the
Critics. At this stage of the proceed
ings occurred one of the pleasantest
features of the day which pleased not
only the base ballists but the entire as
semblage. The winning nine had the
pleasure of presenting the cup as testi-.
monial of regard to Captain M. E. Conley
and the base ball part of it served as a
blind to the recipient who was totally
surprised, but who responded in a neat
speech of appreciation.
A bountiful spread was served at the
Waldo House, and after dinner second
pleasing incident appeared in the pre-
sentation of a gold headed cane to Geo.
B. Kelley, president of the honoraries.
The following composed the programme
of entertainment after dinner:
SOlO. CaDJ, M. Il. t0Ill6V
Recitaton-Battle of Gettysburg. .........
Corp. E. G. Quinn
Recitation. Corp Joseph A. Mccarthy
Solo-Love's Old Sweet Song. ......,.

Review of Honoraries- President Kelley
Review of Company's Field Day. ...........
.......-.. -...--..- -Sergt. Mcclure
Letters of regret were read from
Mayor Ingraham, Nathan and Henry B.
xJleaves.
In the afternoon a shooting contest at
200 yards range took place in which
Corporal Mccarthy won first prize, a
gold medal, and Corporal Mulhern was
awarded silver medal as second prize
The scores were unusually high and
close scores were made by Capt. Conley,
George Conneen and Lieut.. Foley. A
silver cup for the best shot made among
the honoraries was awarded James J.
Qualley.

Washburne,s Circus,

Leon W. Washburne's circus and Wild
West show gave exhibitions yesterday
afternoon in about four inches of first
quality Deering mud. In fact the mud
effectually prevented any ring riding,
but the rest of the show was given, most
ly to the satisfaction of those present.
The trapeze and athletic work was good,
likewise the juggling and balancing
feats. The Wild West part of the per-
Torrance was a success. Some daring
riding was exhibited. On the whole the
show was voted very good considering
the low price of admission.

n O one thing that
~ goes into the fur

much to do with making
it homelike and cosy as
the window curtains.
Spotless white, freshly
Numbered draperies, tied
back with a bit of bright
ribbon, disclosing a
glimpse of outdoors

redeem an otherwise bad

make it cool, refreshing
and a delight to the eye
which even bare floors

cannot offset.
There's nothing SO good
for drapery curtains in
summer houses as the
dainty Swiss Muslins,
which are now so cheap
that the whole house can
be lifted With them at a
trifing cost.
This morning our

a decline in prices of $3.50 a
ton. So much for the foreign
competition when the tariff on
beams is still s20.16. It that should be
halved or cut still deeper, would it not
be all the better for the domestic con
sumer? The Omaha Bee, that never
falters in its support of the robber tar
if, is forced, in the light Of recent de-
velopments concerning this particular
trust. to exclaim: This tariff is still
too high. 1t could be cut down half,
and still enable the manufacturers to
do a profitable business The steel
beam trust broke down under the force
of foreign competition and the sharp
decline in prices, and is no more.

The GAZETTE and Farmers World are a
good deal worked up over Judge Gerald's
letter to Chairman Regan. 1t was all right
in their eyes for Chairman Reagan to act
as he did, sending his letter to Judge Ger
aid in a manner that was as insulting as 1t
was unnecessary; but when Judge Gerald,
smarting under the imputation that he
would crawl from his position if addressed
in the ordinary course of mail, replies in
the manner he thinks the occasion demands
and peels Judge Reagan all over, it is all
wrong. 1t makes difference, you know,
In looking at these things whether YOU are
an administration bowler or an independ-
ent citizen. 1.-THE Waco Day.
There must be some mistake here.
THE GAZETTE is not worked up"
these days over the personal affairs of
politicians. 1t remarked that Judge
Gerald seemed determined to make
himself an issue, but TO be frank with
you, Day, the information was CLEANED
from the length of the letter, not from
the contents of it. Life is too busy,
Day, to read ELUSIVE literature Of that
kind. Besides, we can always count on
a spicier edition Of it to follow in the
editorial columns OF the Day.
