Tennis Tournament.

The tennis tournament, of which partial

contested. After each had won set the in

In the final match Tolman began serving

careful placing. Eames Won the next the

Eames then won four straight games and the
set by superior placing and cross court

Dr. Eames through effective lobbing and

A New Enterprise in Waldo Co.

The Bangor Commercial says Mr.. Frank
p. Bennett, editor of the Wool and Cotton
Reporter, of Boston, who has just purchased
six abandoned farms in Freedom, Waldo
county for the purpose Of converting them in
to sheep ranch, is of the opinion that sheep
husbandry will pay we'll in this State. Mr.
Bennett believes that in time the 43O acres
known as the Beaver Hill farm, which he
has just pur chased in Freedom will support
600 or 800 sheep. Mr. I. c. Libby, the well
known stock buyer, has been engaged to
purchase the ewes for the ranch from the
Maine farmers, and the Hampshire bucks
will be brought from Massachusetts,.

Another Attempt to Burglarize the
Post Office.

Night Policeman Jipson says that between
twelve and one O'Clock Sunday morning he
discovered some person or persons trying to
effect an entrance into the Belfast Post Of
fee. He had been to his own home and in
coming down Franklin street, about half
way between Crosby Inn and the Post Office,
he heard a noise and saw the shadow of a
man under the window to the left Of the rear
entrance He pulled his revolver and fired
when the would be burglar ran He tired
second shot at the retreating figure. The
policeman went to the Office and found an
iron grating in the walk raised up. The
opening under the grating leads to window
and from thence into the cellar of the build
ing. After person gets below the grating
it is an easy matter to get into the cellar
and consequently into the rooms above
People at the Inn who heard the shots say
that they plainly heard running and from
the noise should think it was by several per-
sons.
Monday morning it was discovered that
Jipson's bullet went through pane of glass
and struck the iron shutter inside. The shot
was an excellent line one and must have
gone very near to a person at the grating.
Had person been standing erect on the
grating the bullet must have hit him.
Mr.. Jipson gave an alarm, but nothing
more was heard. Had he waited until the
man had entered the building he might have
been captured.
Whether it was professional or some one
about town can only be left to conjecture.
There are burglaries being committed all
over the State.

Higher Price for Hay.

1t is said that hay is to be higher this sea-
son than at any time for the past four years.
Eastern Maine is surely in luck, as rain came
here early enough to bring the yield about
to the average of former years. The farmers
who sell will make money. bnt the men of
experience argue that it is costly to sell at
any price, but that the hay should be fed on
the farms. Bangor Commercial.

The railroads do not intend, apparent
~, to reduce their rates to Chicago dur
ing the worlds fair. That certainly is
the only Interpretation that can be put
upon the action of the managers of the
trunk line at their recent conference. OF
course this will be great disappoint-
ment to the thousands and tens OF
thousands who expect to visit the fair,
and can hardly fail to reduce the at
tendance considerably. Perhaps the
railroads know their business best, but
it would seem that some concession to
the people under the circumstances
would prove profitable financially, be-
sides creating better feeling towards
those corporations.

been no motive for member of the Re-

advertisement. IF you say it was done

There is every indication that the Aus
tralian ballot system has come to stay,
and that before many years there will be
few, if any, States voting under the old
method. In no State where it has once
been adopted has it been repealed, and if
the newspapers fairly represent public
sentiment there is very little demand for
its repeal in any of them. I'm
doubtedly experience will disclose some
defects in it's machinery, and changes
will be made to correct them. But the
central idea of the system-secret voting
and an official ballot-will be retained,
simply because it accords with the wishes
of the great majority of the people. 1t
is free country, and of course anybody
has the right to protest against the sys-
tenn and to denounce it as a fraud and a
humbug. But as long as it is the only
legal system of voting, and is likely to
be the only legal system for many years
to come, it seems to us altogether wiser
to stop screaming about it and devote
ones energies to urging the people to
give enough attention to it, to be
able to use it without laundering. If it
is humbug and fraud we can be sure
the people will find it out, and when
they find it out we may be certain that
they will abolish it. Meanwhile the
party whose organs exhaust their ener-
gies in denouncing it, and teach their
readers to waste their strength in the
same way, is sure to be beaten, because
the other party, seeing their opportunity,
will instruct their members how to use
the system correctly, SO that when cleo
tioa day comes they will vote right,
while the voters who have been taught
