city, will visit Bridgton today, accompa-
MED by their ladies. The party will

ler's full band, and on arrival at Bridg-
ton there will be a short parade. Dinner
will be served at the hotel, and the af-
ternoon will be spent in enjoying the
many delightful drives in that romantic
region. The people of Bridgton are
making preparations to give royal well
come to the visitors. After supper the
sir knights and their ladies will take the
regular train home, arriving about s
o'clock. 1t is certain that at least 125
will join the excursion, and the indica-
tions are that some so more will partici-
pate. If the weather is pleasant it will
be a red letter day for the sir knights and
their ladies.
The committee of Portland Command
cry have completed their arrangements
for the excursion to Poland Springs to-
day. Special cars will leave the Union
Station at $50 a. M, and as the
cars are to be attached to the regular
train it is imperative that every Sir
Knight of Portland Commandery and
his ladies should be on time. The return
trip will be made on Saturday afternoon,
arriving in Portland at 5.45 p. m. Tick
cts good to return until Monday, June
9th, inclusive. This being an informal
occasion no special suit will be required.
The well known reputation of the Po-
land Spring House, together with the
music furnished by Chandler's orchestra
and the Haydn Quartette, consisting of
Miss Florence Knight, soprano, Miss
Kate Kicker contralto, DR.. H. M. Nick
erson tenor, and Harry Merrill basso, will
make this one of the most pleasant
events in the history of Portland Com
mandery. Sir Knights who have not no
titled the committee of their intentions
are requested to do so at once.

Boys and Shoes
The genuine all wool Simon
pure American boy, the kind that
whistles and shouts, and goes out
OF his way to climb fences and
wade puddles, and steps on snap
matches in Sunday school, and
gets up at 5 O'Clock to see the
circus come in town, and gets up
very tired when his mother
wants him to go to the store for
a yeast cake, will edo ups an Or
binary pair of shoes i'm about two
weeks.
The boy who sits in the house
and makes paper dolls and works
notices in perforated cardboard,
will probably make a pair of
cheap shoes last a year.
Our Portland boys are not of
this kind, thOugh---not many of
them. They are live boys, and
we are glad of it. Parent, don't
begrudge the shoes that a
healthy ambitious boy wears
out.
There is no use wasting money
ON boys shoes. Good shoes that
fit pay for boys as well as for
grown up folks.
We have a choice line of boys
shoes that will stand lots of
racket, and at the same time
be comfortable and wear well.
Look over this list and when
your boy wants a pair Of reliable
shoes send him to us. You are
not obliged to come, a child can
buy as cheap as man.

GEORGIA POLITICS.

Atlanta Journal: The county democratic
executive committee have decided to let re-
publicans vote in the primary next Wednes-
day, provided he is white man. The re-
publicans who have been given this privi-
lege are those who have acted as democrats
in local elections. The county democratic
COMMITTEES is being criticised for its action
1t is said by some of the good
old democrats that the committee has gone
beyond Its authority; that it is an instru-
ment Of the Democratic party and can only
recognize democrats. 1t is further said that
republican is republican if he voted
against Cleveland, no matter what may
have been his personal views about state
and city elections; and that the county
executive committee is a part Of the
national Democratic party as is the state
executive committee, each being lower
court of the entire organization. Under the
action of the COMMITTEES white republican
who voted against Cleveland can vote in the
democratic primary next Wednesday. A
negro who has been good democrat all mis-
life cannot do so.

A MOST UNIQUE CEREMONY.
Raising the Flag over the Turkish Pc
vllion at Chicago.
From fhe Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. 23.-The star and
crescent of Turkey flies from a flagstaff in
the scaffolding from which the Turkish
pavilion Is to rise at the worlds fair
grounds. The ceremony Of raising the flag
took place In the presence OF all the sultan's
subjects, who have come to take part in
the exposition, as we'll as many who had
come especially from Turkey for the oc-
casion. most unique ceremony it was.
The most solemn rites Of the Moslem faith
were performed by the Turks. A snow
white lamb, perfect and without blemish,
the pick Of a flock of 5000 was led TO the
sacrifice.
Reverentially stood the sad-eyed sons of
Mohammed, with arms In praying position
and eyes turned skyward. The hand OF one
of the Turks held keen-edged scimetar.
A prayer by the prelate, "a petition TO the
great prophet punctured with solemn
salaams and the man with the curved steel
kneeled beside the sacrificlal victim. A
sllken sash hid its two big eyes as the neck
was barred beneath the thick growing wool.
AS the knife was laid upon its flesh the blood
gushed forth an effendi stooped low and
thrust his hand deep into the bleeding cash.
The prelate drew his hand from the neck of
the sacrifice. The effendi sprinkled the
blood upon the foundation Of the sultans
pavilion.
Down came the stars and stripes in salu-
tation as the red flag of the Ottoman en-
pire with its white crescent and loan star
fioated from toe top of the staff. Thus
Abdul Hamid II. formally announced him
self patron of the worlds fair, and his
faithful subjects pledged anew their alle-
glance to him in this distans land
The Staying of the sheep was typical of
Abraham's willing sacrifice Of Isaac, which
God stayed at the last moment, bidding
Abraham to substitute for his son a lamb.
Then the two high priests called aloud in
Turkish: "Patishoene Pok Yacho" God
give long life to the sultan and the Presi.
dent of the United States).
This was repeated three times by all the
Turks present. Takki Bey, commissioner
to the fair from Turkey, then addressed the
assemblage, after which everybody was in
vited TO the tent Of tho sultan, where the
guests were served with luncheon.

at o'clock with the pleasing intellirsnoe
that half gale was blowing from the vest
everything had been in readiness for some
time, and, after hasty breakfast, the kite
was unrcIIed, stretched on its gigantic bam-
boo frame and held in the roadway by a
couple of laborers.
Fahrenheit seated himself ia the basket.
The three stout lines With which the kite
was held and controlled were carefully ex-
amined, and after considerable maneuyer-
ing the enormous spread of canvas was
waited upward, with its human cargo
seated calmly and nonchalantlY in the bas-
ket.
For long time it looked as though the
kite would not ascend properly, and the
INES frequently hung slack, but at 80 the
WIND had increased to such an extent that
II was thought expedieut to ''pay out" more
hne, ana the three travellers seated them
selves In the chaise, which began to move
along the main road at a brisk pace.
once In motion the speed increased, and
the difficulty Of steering the chaise and look
ing after the guide ropes was SO great that
1t was thought expedient 90 bring the ex-
pertinent TO hasty conclusion.
This, however, was easier said than done.
AS they passed a milestone they determined
TO time their speed, and found to their sur
prise that they had covered a mile in $50.
Three miles ont of Chelmsford rain began
60 fall in torrents, aud violent tugs were
felt at the guide ropes.
lt had been previously arranged that they
should form the signal for an immediate de-
scent, and taking advantage of a somewhat
steep Incline, when the rate OF progression
would naturally be diminished, the brakes
were applied. Fahrenheit was observed
making violent signals with his hands. aud
the kite was found to be falling with alarm
ing rapidity.
So great, indeed, had the speed become
that 1t was evident that Fahrenheits doom
was sealed unless some immediate effort
could be made to stop the fall McLennan and
his two assistants thereupon promptly de-
termined to take the only possible step
which could save him.
By pulling in the ropes violently the kite
would slightly ascend, and so, throwing off
their coats, they tugged with might and
main. In five minutes Fahrenheit was on
terra flrms.
1t appeared that the rain had thoroughly
soaked the canvas and added pounds to the
weight of the kite, causing 1t to fall. Had
not prompt measures been taken, there can
be but little doubt that the ponderous ma
chine would have caused the violent death
or the occupant Of the basket.

Bristol to London in little carriage drawn
oy couple Of large kites flying quarter of
mile or SO in the air. and he often attained
speed OF fully twenty miles an hour.
IL was thought, too, that kites would SUI
percede sails for ships, and, in fact, for some
tIIne scientific England went kite mad.
In order to thoroughly understand the ac-
uon OF these gigantic kites some of them
were as large as a ships mainsaiD, q certain
