We are informed that City Solicitor
Bradbury has addressed an official com
muncation to Mr.. Lyman Ii. Nelson,
the publisher of the theatre programme
cautioning him against reproducing the
advertisement of the liquor agency,
pending action by the city government, !"
or words to that effect. From this it is
reasonable to infer that the Democratic
city fathers are meditating prosecution
of Mr.. Nelson. AS they have a legal adj
wiser Indeed for the most of the year they
appear to have had two) it will perhaps
be superfuous for us to suggest the
kind of action that should be commenced.
Still some remarks on that point
may do no harm. 1t is very doubt
full if he can be prosecuted under the
statute which forbids the advertising of
liquors for sale, for that statute evident
ly contemplates Illegal sales, while the
sale advertised was a legal sale and by a
locally established institution. Be-
sides the punishment for this offence is
only $40 at the outside, and this would
be far from sufficient to appease the
wrath of the pdtres urbis. The best
course to pursue would be to proceed
under the statute which forbids person
either by speaking or writing to bring
another into public ridicule or contempt
1t would be easy to make a strong case
under this statute case that would APP
peal greatly to the sympathies of the
| jury. We do not think it would be
possible, but if Col. Bradbury could sue
coed in adequately portraying to the jury
the shock which our reform city fathers
experienced when their eyes fell upon
the advertisement we have no doubt the
| jury would convict Mr.. Nelson without
! leaving their seats, and award to til {
wounded victims fabulous amount o.
| healing balm in the shape of dollars.
We admonish the city solicitor tha
in conducting the case he must be very
watchful lest things get in which may
prove complicating. There's the run
punch episode for instance. If it shoult
leak out in the course of the trial tina
liquor had been furnished by the agency
to make rum punch, and that too il

proval of the Mayor the jury might gel

A Democratic United States Senator is
reported as saying that Mr.. Cleveland
has experienced an entire change of view
in regard to the tariff since his free trade
message, and now is very far from the
severe tariff reformer he has been con-
sidered. AS most of the Democratic
party has met with decided change
of view since the adoption of the plat
form at Chicago Mr.. Cleveland is not
peculiar in this respect.

TWO BoWDolN POETS.
The Rhymed Results of Their Youthful
Indiscretion.

Some weeks ago the following lines.
purporting to be the production of Chief
Justice Fuller in the days of his beard
less youth, were published in the PRESS:
The Bath girls with surprise sir,
Ope wide their sparkling eyes, sir,
AS by each carriage flies. sir,
With booty Sophomore
AS to the authorship of the lines above
quoted l have no exact knowledge; they
have been fathered upon Fuller for many
year, and no denial made of their puta-
tive paternity. But there does appears
in Bowdoin song-book published by
the class of '61, the following bacchanal
at whose foot is the name of Melville
Weston Fuller, writ bold and large:
Oh. bright is the CLEAN of the silv'ry stream,
As it leaps from its native mountain:
And sweet 10 the taste, in the desert waste,
Is the draught from the pure, cool fountain;
But sweeter than this. with It's transient bliss,
To me in the desert roaming,
And brighter still, than the sparkling rill,
Is the wine in our gOblets fOaming.
Then fill each glass, as the moments pass,
Let the red wine mantle hight
AS pledge we here, to mem'ry dear.
The pleasant years gone by.
II.
Oh. hard is the strife of.the battle of life,
To the soldier youth contendfngi
Full soon may fail e'en the plated mail.
He fancied himself defending.
Yet we'll on to the fight with hearts so light,
At the stirring trumpet's tone,
And never will yield the battle field
Till victory is our own.
Then drink tonight, with hearts so light,
To the untred world before us,
And gayly laugh as the wine we quaf,
And join in the merry chorus.
Whether or not the dignified successor
of John Marsha and Roger fancy re-
CARDS this bantling of his muse with
owing eyes the world has not been told
He would scarcely write in that strain
now; but there is nothing in the song at
which a high-minded and red-blooded
youth need bow his head, nor anything
that gray-beard need seriously regret.
There is time for folly in the lives
of all of us, and, as La Rochefoucauld
says, he who has lived without it is not
so wise as he thinks. Boys-and espec-
tally college boys bred upon literature
which has wine-stains upon nearly every
leaf-look forward with ardor and long
ing to the be-hymned and be-praised
pleasures which have for ages been held
as the prerogatives of manhood They
would pillow their heads in the laps of
the frail beauties of whom Horace
sang; and, taking anticipation for expe
rience, may be heard to murmur in their
daylight dreams:
Like bacchant wild with revel, intertangled in
vine,
With his flagons running over till his feet are
deep in wine,
Oh. what days of fiery pleasure, oh, what watt
ing nights were nine!
This fever of youth is like the measles;
most boys have it; all are liable to it.
Melville Weston Fuller is not alone of
the Bowdoin Alumni in the composition
of hymns to the wine god. Eight years
after Fuller had finished his course an
other alumnus, Thomas Worcester Hyde
of 81, afterwards to be widely and honor
ably and affectionately known as "Gen-
eral Tom HYDE" found the English
tongue insufficient for his high boyish

NEW PU BLlcATloNs.

By Subtle Fragrance Held. By Mary
Fletcher Stevens. Miss Stevens's many
friends in Portland society will be inter
ested to read her pretty novelette,. 1t is
written with much earnest intention, and
depicts the gradual change of the hero
inc from thoughtless, and sometimes
rather unrefined, gayety to seriousness
and to higher ideals of life. The story
has very little incident; but the modern
art of fiction has taught that striking
episodes are by no means necessary in
order to satisfy and interest readers
The fragrance which holds Frances Rus
sell loyal to her best self, is the remem-
bered odor of the white honeysuckes of
the garden OF her aunt, Mrs. Harlowe.
With this aunt the orphan girl had first
known the value of genuine affection, and
had received lasting impressions for
good. The garden with it floral wealth
is infinitely and lovingly described. A,
spray of the significant white honey
suckle forms the graceful decoration OF
the tasteful covers of the volume. phil

Although Eighteenth Century Vign-
cites may not add to Austin Dobson's
reputation, the book is very entertain
ing, and rich in literary gossip. Many
topics are treated in the twenty papers
that comprise the handsome vellum-
backed volume published by Dodd, Mead
& Co., New York-Prior's "Kitty,' who
Contained the chariot for a day and set
the world on fire." and who will be re-
membered by readers of the Virginians
as "that old trump. the Duchess of
Queensberry; Goldsmith's much neg
lected Citizen of the World; the Garrett
in Cough Square where the great die
tionary was compiled and where Rasse-
las was written; the Female Quixote,
Charlotte Lenox's forgotten novel; Day
at Strawberry Hill, where Horace Wal
pole sauntered and posed; the New Ches-
terrified, that collection of letters written
by Philip Dormer Stanhope to his god
son and successor; ''the Quaker of Art, "
Thomas Stothard, illustrator of the
eighteenth century novelists; Steele's
Letters and Gray's Library and Spence's
Anecdotes" All these are handled
with the light, yet firm and confident,
touch, which characterizes Dobsen's
work in department of letters which
he has made peculiarly his own. Per-
haps the paper on Gray is the best in the
collection; though where all are pleas
ing choice is not to be hastily made.
The volume, illustrated with portraits
of the famous men described in its pages,
is for sale in this city by Loring, Short

will either keep away from the polls or
commit blunders in marking the ballot
which will defeat their votes. We can
not imagine a worse service to a
party than to impress its voters
with the idea that the Australian system
is complicated and difficult of mastery.
The effect of it, of course, will be to
make them hesitate to use it, and to stay
at home on election day in consequence.

An interesting letter from Carmen
Sylvia, the queen of Roumania, has been
received by personal friend of the
queen at Munich. 1t is dated from Mon
Repos, the home of Carmen Sylva's
childhood. My health" she writes,
sis improving day by day. This miracle
is no doubt due to the shady walks in
the palace garden of Mon Repos, the
pure air breathe in this place and to
the delightful promenades through the
green lanes of WED. During my walks
often think of how your mother and

dreaming fair dreams of the future and
talking about the beautiful, romantic

from the Germany of today.

One GOOD effect of our anglOmania is

The English battle from machines run

The stage kiss is one to be studied. 1t
is artistically done. Some of the old
timers have sort of careless, indiffer-

surmounted with an Easter bonnet that
looked like IA section of the morning

rolled and fastened with IA shawl strap,

The summer girl is out with n new
wrinkle. 1t discounts the suspenders
by about 100 per cent, although the
shoulder straps are pressed into service
in conjunction with it.
The new idea is nothing more or less
than pair Of Corsots worn outside the
blouse.
A reporter encountered the new
wrinkle yesterday on a bridge train and
sustained quite a severe shock. A pref
ty little girl entered the car carrying a
violin case. She was dressed in cool
summer attire. consisting of a plain skirt
and blazer of the same material. Be-
tween the open edges Of the blazer front
a bit of the sme material could be seen,
which looked very much like wide
he!t. The observer would never have
known whether it was belt or what it
was had not the fair wearer been heated
and removed her blazer, throwing it
over her arm IN true man fashion. Then
il was seen that the girl had on II pair
Of corsct5 uulside OF her blouse. They
were made Of the same material as tn"
rest OF lne costume, OF TeSuldllpH HtlSn III
and were separated in front, being laced
together with silEcn cord.
The removal Of the blazer created a
sensation in the car. \ couple of young
men suickered; an elderly man who wore
flowing WHISPERS glanced at the girl over
his spectacles, and then turning ver''
red fixed his eyes ON the floor. A ma
tronly old lady started to speak to the
summer girl, but was restrained by her
/ daughter, VINO said:
"Oh, no. ma: there's no mistake. She
wears them that way purposely."
Law sakes!" commented the old
lady, and looked both puzzled and dis
/ gusted.
/ The strangeness of the costume was
increased by having pair of blue silk
suspenders, buckles and all, fastened &c
tne top of the corsets both front and
back. 1t was question whether the
