Portland's Visitors Given Sail and Clam.
bake.

The sun shone brightly Saturday morn
ing, a cool breeze ruffled the surface of
the bay, Chandler's band played its live
liest airs and the people who looked up
on the beautiful scenery from the decks
of the steamer Forest City appreciated it
all and had good time. To many of
the members of the Dominion Travel
lers' Association, the trip was through
unfamiliar places. To their hosts, the
Maine commercial travellers, sail on
Casco Bay is always as delightful as it is
to other Maine people. The visitors
from Canada first had a glimpse of Port
lands business streets as they marched
from the Preble House to the boat. Then,
as the steamer followed it's winding
course among the islands, they caught
feeting views of Cushing's island, named
for Montreal family and the summer
home of many Dominion people; they
saw the big rink, Greenwood Garden and
the other attractions of Jones's landing,
the Portland Coney Island; soon after,
passing between Pumpkin Knob and
Peaks Island, they felt the swell of the
ocean as it gently rolled the steamer from
side to side, and finally after the points
of interest had been pointed out on a
sail which extended nearly to Harpswell,
the steamer swung alongside the wharf
at Chebeague and the party marched to
the Waldo. y
The Canadian visitors were at.~once
made acquainted with the New England
baked bean, which was one CT the attrac-
tions of a substantial lunch. Music by
the band, dancing on the piazza, and the
national game, in which the Abou Ben
Illsley nine defeated nameless aggrega-
ton % to S, while both sides kicked the
umpire, made The time fyquickly.
At three o. clock clam bake was
served under the supervision of Landlord
Reed Of the Waldo and it was good one.
Nearly 400 persons enjoyed it.
After dinner President Loring acted as
postmaster. The first toast to ''The
Queen" was received with burst of
music by the band, the company singing
'God Save the Queen" Col. Stevenson
of Montreal leading. Then s'The Presi-
dent Of the United States'' was proposed
and responded to with the 'Star Span
gled Banner" The other toasts, to
which responses apt, eloquent and witty
were made, were as follows:
The City of Montreal-Col. Stevenson.
The City of Portland-Mayor Ingraham
The Maine Commercial Travellers Associa-
tion-Mr. Joseph Fl. Dow.
The Dominion Commercial Travellers Asso-
ciation-Mr. NORM.
The Ladies-Mr. Fred n Mayberry,
The Press-Mr. Fred G. FasSett
iprociry-Leyi Turner, Jr., Esq.
Mr.. George A. Thomas delighted the
party with his songs.
After a few closing words by President
Loring, urging the cooperation OF the
merchants in tho affairs of the drum
mers' association, the party marched to
the boat well pleased with the days ex-
pedition. Yesterday the visitors spent
at Old Orchard and other near by re-

In Favor of the Single Tax.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
MIR. b. H. Warmers letter advocating the
rental tax and your editorial induce me to offer
a few words in favor of single tax. An argu-
ment for the justice of the single tax is that land
values get all the benefit of government, and 80
should pay the expenses The paving Of streets,
water mains. police protection, the presence Of
a large population which is an expense to gov
eminent in numberless ways, the fire depart
ment, public schools, and the thousand and one
benefits conferred by government make the
building lots improved Of unimproved-
more valuable than lots in a smaller or more
poorly governed city. But houses are not in
creased in value by these causes. Houses built
forty years ago have not been increased in value
by the improvements in the city. Lots have.
Moreover, every man who erects Q house is
identifying the city and giving work to its citi-
zens, SO he should be encouraged, not fined.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star.
Allow me through your paper to call stten-
ton to the carelessness Of the party engaged in
building plumber shop on Rhode Island
avenue near 14th street in failing TO remove
from the public street large quantity of broken
brick, which nightly threatens to MAIN the
limbs or crack the skull of some luckless bicycle
rider who chances to pass that way. No light
is displayed to warn the unwary, and the
nearest gas lamp being some seventy-fve feet
distantl its Illuminating capacity is Of course
unequal to the task of throwing light on this
dangerous spot.
Monday night as was leisurely proceeding
homcward on my bicycle l suddenly landed
into what at first conceived to be miniature
brick yard. and in my endeavors to extricats
myself was thrown from my wheel, happily no
serious consequences attending. Now this care

obstructing the public thoroughfare with rub
bish. Let him see to it that it is cleared away.

Putting in the Shin Wheels 1t the Foot Of
the Peace Monument.
The most interesting II not the most i'm
portant work in the construction of the cable
road Of the Warrington and Georgetown rail-
road is now going ON at the foot of the Peace
monument. Three mammoth vaults are being
built, with concrete sides and floors, in which the
big machinery which is to operate the auxiliary
cable which runs the cars from the junction Of
the Peace monument to the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad is to be located. The first vault
is known as the tension vault, and here
all the slack. cable will be taken up.
This vault is sixtyfour feet long by sixteen feet
in width and has depth Of twelve feet. The
center vault is to be known ~ the navy yard
vault. Into this the cable from the navy yard
comes and runs around twelve-foot wheel and
enters the vault nearest the Peace monument,
where 1t turns q fourteen-foot shift wheel and
operates the auxiliary cable. The incoming
cable from the navy yard Is detached from the
grip automatically as it passes the middle vault
and Is taken up again after it passes over the

feet down good ground was encountered, then
came a layer Of eighteen inches of gravel and
then heavy strata Of sand, which contained
several springs. Pumps have been in use day
and night to keep the vaults free from water,
and when the last touches on this work are
completed an automatic pump will be intro
duced which, operated by the cable and finding
an outlet into the Tiber creek sewer, will keep
the vaults free from water. The work IL still
going ON.

Shot Himself Through the Heart.

At 7:45 o'clock this morning Mr.. John n.
LAckey, boarding with his wife at 1904 New
Hampshire avenue northwest, committed sui
eide by shooting himself through the heart
while laboring under temporary alteration Of
mind. He was about thirty years Of age and
had been the private secretary Of Gen. Rose
Grams for some time. Besides his duties ns such
he had been studying law, and his devotion to
books had affected his mind. This morning his
wife left him in his room dressing while abe
went down stairs, and she was awaiting him to
come to breakfast when the smothered report
Of pistol was heard. Hastening up to the
room he was found breathing his last and the
Smith wesson pistol with which the deed was
done was lying near him. A physician was sent
for, but the ball having pierced the heart Mr..
LAckey was dead in . few moments.
