BRIDGToN, Me-, August IT,
The Democrats of Bridgton have for
some time been devoting their surplus
energy to preparing their first exhibition
Of the campaign. The curtain rose to-
night. Two flags were raised and some
profound and fetching oratory was de-
livered at Central Hall. Mr.. Il. Barton,
president of the Bridgton Democratic
Club, also candidate for some minor Of
flee, came up from Portland to preside
at the meeting. The first flag went up
at the Bridgton House amid a somewhat
abbreviated display of fireworks. Then
Mr.. Barton introduced Mr.. Coombs of
New York, who pronounced becoming
eulogy upon the owner of the leading
name encumbering the flag. No enthu-
siasm was excited and Mr.. Coombs soon
subsidized. The Harrison band was ex-
pected to play at this point but only
three members had as yet arrived. so the
people started for the lower village
where second flag was raised and a sec
ond eulogy pronounced; this time by
Colonel A. w. Bradbury. The next
point of interest was Central Hall, where
the band, collected at last, was furnish
ing excellent music.
Chairman Edward S. Allen, Of the
Democratic town committee, Mr.. Samuel
C. Smith, Edward Gibbs, Esq, and
about dozen other local lights of great
er or less brilliancy, sat upon the plat
form. When the music ceased Chairman
Allen informed the audience that Mr.. L.
Barton would have charge of the eve
ninp's programme. Mr.. Barton, in turn,
said that the intention was to have a
"genuine, old fashioned, Democratic
love feast" Then he introduced Hon.
Darius Ingraham. The Mayors dis
course was based mainly upon the sub
ject of how ''they concocted an infamous
measure known as the Mckinley bill. !"
He also touched upon the dastardly and
nefarious methods of ex-Speaker Reed
and intimated that he was the proper
person to succeed him in the House. His
promises as to what would happen
should he be selected to occupy the chair
formerly filled by Mr.. Reed were quite
pleasing to think about. Two things
troubled him, viz. his gestures and bad
cough Applause, also, was a minus
quantity. So the Hon. Darius soon re-
tired to make room for Mr.. Harvey Shep-
herd of Boston.
Mr.. Shepherd stepped to the front, his
shirt bosom decorated with bright
crimson tie. After mutilating almost
beyond recognition men like Mr.. Hale,
Mr.. Frye and Mr.. Blaine, he attacked the
Hon. William Mckinley with all the en-
ergy which he had left.
Mr.. Shepherd was the most interesting
speaker of the evening. His manner of
carrying on a misleading argument is
quite interesting
Colonel Bradbury spoke again as the
audience was dispensing. He confined
himself mainly to county affairs.
The only way in which any enthusiasm
could be aroused was by the frequent
mention of candidates names.

A gentleman who stood a few mo-
1rents at 4 corner where large build

some remarks made by a. Irish work
man who evidently fancied himself a
logic;;:n CT no mean order.
He was a sturdy, good natured look
ing man, but evidently enjoyed leaning
on his hod and commenting on what
passed around him much better than he
Gid active work. The cry of "mort-
mort" usually rang out several times
before lie needed it.
Pat" said the foreman severely,
coming upon the man at one of the
moments when he was resin q bit, !"
'.why don't you attend to your work
and keep that man going:'
'Shure, now" said Pat, shifting his
feet and turning a broad smile upon the
foreman. IF was to llape him goin he
wouldn't have sorra a thing to say at
all: an if he didn't sly anything, how
would know he was there? An if he
wasn't there fwhat would he be wantin

And Pat marched off with his hod,
leaving the foreman not convinced, but
certainly confused by this remarkable
exhibition of the workings of a logical
mind.-Youth's Companion.

CONCERNING DYNAMITE.
Millions of Dollars Invested In Its Mn
ufacsurs I'm the,ITpited States.

Millions of Dollars Invested In Its Man
ufac.ure in the United States.
Very few people have q correct idea
of what dynamite is, of whatit is made
and the uses to which it is put. To the
French belongs the honor of its discov-
cry end its practical use.
Nitroglycerin is the force Of all high
explosives. Dynamite is the name most
usually given to these explosives, though
other names are sometimes used.
Dynamite is simply nitroglycerin
mixed with various ingredients. Nitro
glycerin is made by mixing sulphuric
and nitric acid with sweet glycerin,
the same that is used by the ladies to
prevent chapped hands. Mixing the
acids and glycerin is where the great
danger lies in the making of nitro
glycerin. The mixing tank, OF. agita-
tor, as it is called by dynamite makers,
is ~ large steel tank, filed inside with
many coils Of lead pipe, through which,
while the mixing is in progress, coz
slant flow of ice water is maintained.
This flow of ice water is used to keep
the temperature of the mix below
SIS degs., as above that point it
would explode, and a hole in the
ground would mark where the factory
had beens The nitroglycerin is stored
in large earthenware tanks, which are
usually sunk in the ground to guard
against blows or severe conclusion.
The other. ingredients for making
dynamite are, nitrate of soda (Which is
found only in Chilly, carbonate of mag
nesia and wood pulp.
Dynamite put in paper shells usually
IL inches in diameter and s inches in
length, and weighs about one-half pound
to each shell or cartridge. it has largely
taken tie place of black powder for
blasting, as it is many hundreds of times
stronger, and consequently more eco
nomical. 1t is used chiefly in mining all
kinds of ores, coal and rock, and sub
marine blasting and railroad building.
Without its aid many railroads, espe-
cially those crossing the Rocky noun
tains, could not have been constructed;
without it Hell Gate, in New York har-
Dor, could not have been destroyed, and
without it the MIXER, at prices now paid
for mining ores, could not earn his
bread.
Dynamite will not explode from any
ordinary fall or jar 1t will burn with
out explosion and freezes at 40 degs., 10
degs. above ordinary freezing point.
The bomb is made of metal or glass and
filed with pure nitroglycerin arranged
so as to explode by severe contact with
any hard object. These bombs are OF
course never made by reputable dyna-
mite factory.
Five or six millions of dollars are in
vested in the manufacture of dynamite
il the United States, and its use is con-
stantly on the increase. The fumes of
nit-oglycerin produce intense headache.
which can be cured by taking q very
small dose OF it acknowledgement Free

and one of the younger clerks called out
in patronizing tones, "oh, no, uncle;
hang up the tube, ring the bell on the
right, then put the tube to your ear and
talk to that little hole before you"

ceiver and turned toward the speaker.

tells of the state prisoners at
Fort George from 1898 to 1902
Among these1 was brother of
the great grandfather of the present
member of parliament for East Wick
low. Wolfe Tone, the Irish patriot
martyr, was a great friend of John
Sweetman the elder. From Wolfe
Tones deathbed She sent Sweetman a
pocketbook stained with the patriots
blood. The pocketbook is still an hon.
Ored heirloom in the Sweetman family.
In one of its pages is written in Wolfe
Tones handwriting the following ex-
tract from Virgil: "Te nunc habet
iste secundum;" This has YOU now
for second owner.
The SWeetman of today when very
young man greatly advanced the integ-
ests of the great National Land league.
established by Messrs. Parnell and
Davitt. In 1878 MIR. Sweetman pub
lisned a pamphlet on the Irish land
question which opened the eyes OF
those who were seriously interest
ed in Irish politics. The pamphlet is
mainly made up of extracts from:
work entitled England and Ireland"
by the late John Stuart Mill. In this
pamphlet Mr.. SWeetman advises the
Irish people to organize against the in
famous system of landlordism which
was crushing their very life out. He
would eXterminate all iandlordism,
whether good or bad. He wrote: I'm
my opinion, the bane of Ireland is what
is called the good landlords. They are
the men who perpetuate the system of
landlordism, whereby a few men are
despots and thousands are slaves. |
cannot believe this system to be useful
to the country, although the despots
may be paternal and the slaves wills
ing"
Later on Mr.. Sweetman came to Min
nesota, which has practically been his
home ever since. Just before the late
general election in Ireland he was
called and Invited to be a candidate for
Wicklow, Parnell's own county. Mr..
Sweetman is fearless i'll his opinions,
powerful in debate, and would have
made an admirable obstructionst, even
in the days when that was the most
practical policy to follow.
