The Old, Sad Story.

One afternoon last week there was a
private funeral service in a fine man
sion situated on an uptown street In
Portland, Me-, says an exchange. The
funeral procession consisted of single
landau and a hearse. Passers by
looked at the pathetic little cOrtege as
it came out of the graveled driveway
from the rear door of the stately dwell
ing and lightly remarked: cone of the
helpi is dead"
None of the papers in their mortuary
columns furnished clue to the iden-
tity of the dead Only the heart-brok-
en- father, the mother and sisters
knew the old, sad story, which for ages
bards have sung. 1t was, indeed, an
awful lesson. Decades ago the trite
saving was penned, "There are SER
mons in stones, and goodin everything"
and that truism is as potent to-day as it
was then.
None knew and few guessed that the
poor, frail frame that was on it's last
long journey was once the body Of a
young woman who, seven years ago,
had fashionable Portland at her feet,
was cOurted and petted by all, and was
allowed every pleasure that mind
could invent or money procure, except
freedom.
She longed for New York. The
nightingale was Gagged, and she longed
for freedom. She burst the tiny, WOW
en- golden chains of love and became as
the moth to the candle.
Three years on Fifth Avenue, then to
Broadway, then in the human mael-
storm toward the Battery, then that
heaven Of rest-hOme.

The Use of Vowe1s and COnsonants
Varies with the Zone.
The Philadelphia Record thinks that
climatic conditions affect the language of
a people, consonants predominating in
the higher and vowels in the lower lati-
tudes. In Maine, for example, are
found such Understanding names as
Pameducock, Androscoggin, Malta
wamkeag, Poongokwaken, ETC., while in
Florida are Tallahassee, Suwanee, Kis-
since and Appalachee, with vowel and
liquid sounds in majority. The same
popularity may be noted on scanning a
map of Europe. Gutturals predominant
in Norway and Russia, whereas far to
the southwark, in sunny Italy, there is
profusion of such euphonious names as
The influence Of climate on language is
particularly noticeable in the speech of
those who have lived but compare
lively short time in the Southern states
of the Union.
The tendency to introduce a vowel
sound to round'out a word is noted in
the Southern pronunciation of such
words as "electoraP' and "Texan,"
which are frequently changed to "elec-
torial" and '"Texian" Thackeray was
amused at the insistence of servants in
southern hotels in addressing him as
Mr.. ''Thackuary." The Record has a
theory to account for the difference.
The southern attitudes have a cloudless
and quiet atmosphere, while the north
ern are cloudy and storm-swept. It re-
quires, of course, greater effort to be
heard in regions which are swept by
winds and storms than in quiet south
ern attitudes; and to be heard distinctly
amid the noise and confusion of the
elements words must be used which
contain many consonants. Among the
inhabitants Of more tropical chimes the
tendency is toward soft and musical
cadences, and travellers relate that in
regions of South America, such as Peru
and Venezuela, where atmospheric dis
chant the phrases of salutation.

Proof That Women Dress for Women.


All Philadelphia is talking about a
ly uttered by Mrs. George Boxer, the
witty widow of the distinguished club
man and man of letters, whose play of
Francesca di Rimini' is one of the
sparse classics of the American stage.
It was in the salon of Mrs. "Tom" An
drews, / believe, that a brilliant party
of men and women was discussing the
vexed question whether women dress
for women or for men. The contro-
versy had grown somewhat spirited
when Mrs. Boxer entered. Immediate
ly she was appealed to for a decisive
opinion "Why, women dress for wom-
en-, of course" she promptly responded
If they dressed for men they wOuldn't
dress at all" The subject was not CON
sidered any further Topics.
New Idea for a Flying Machine.
Horatio Phillips, Londoner, has
made some successful experiments with
new aerial machine of his own inven-
ton. The machine is built on an en-
tirely new principle, being sustained IN

bird, instead of the unwieldy plane to
which designers of flying machines
have usually had recourse.

A STORY ABOUT
A Watch. Woman, and Young Mar
ried Man from the Country.

A young married man who came to
town in search of work, last Wednesday,
stopped at the Adams. House, and there
made the acquaintance Of a very sociable
young woman. The two soon became
fast friends, and when the hour for part
ing arrived and the girl went away, the
young married man from the country
felt very sorry indeed. He felt still more
sorry when he found that his watch had
gone too. The double loss was reported
at the police station and search institut-
ed for the thief and the time-piece. Both
were found by Deputy McCallum yester-
day. The young woman had kgiyen the
watch to a gentleman friend of hers, who
promptly pawned it.
I This morning the young married man
from the country, the woman who was
fond of jewelry and the gentleman
friend will appear in the police court,
where those who wish to learn the names
of the three can have their idle curiosity
gratified. At present the names are
withheld at the police station, out of re-
gard to the young woman's sister who
was instrumental in recovering the
watch.

sowpolN ATHLETES
Gave Fine Exhibition in City Hall Last
Evening.


The Bowdoin boys, always prime fav-
orites in this city, did not have as large
an attendance at their annual exhibition
last night as they deserved. 1t was a first
class exhibition in every respect and de-
monstrated what hard work the collie
gians have done during the year. A no.
ticeable improvement was manifested in
every branch of gymnastics illustrated.
Tie exhibition came after an overture
by Gilbert's orchestra, was opened by a
fencing drill, by the class Of '93, E. H.
Carleton, leader. This was followed by
thrilling exhibition of diving and
tumbling in which the following students
participated: Bucknam, Foster. Gahan,
Carleton, Jencks. Mahan, Stubbs, G. E.
Lord, A. j. Lord. W. Kimba!l, Leighton,
Kyes, Dane. Bates, and Coburn. In this
exhibition Foster ana Mahan especially
distinguished themselves by their
plunges and successful efforts in right
ing themselves on the mat.
It was on the parallel bars, however,
that a;remarkable exhibition was given
far surprising anything ever turned out
by Bowdoin. The performers were
Mahan, Foster, Gahan. Lord. Leighton,
Smith and Bates, each receiving rounds
Of applause as he did his act. Foster, of
Portland, successfully accomplished the
s'giant swing in manner equalled by
few professionals. Mahan showed fine
arm and knee work in his swings.
The second drill was up to the average
and was quite catchy. 1t was the '94
class, led by F. J. Libby. The contest
ants were Messrs. Briggs, H. E. Bryant,
c. M. Leighton, Knight, E. Simpson,
Flood, Littlefield, A. Chapman, Wilbur.
Stevens, E. Thomas.
The horizontal bar work was far above
the average,
The excitement of the evening was the
ovation given to the boxers Messrs.
Knowlton and Lord. Mr.. Baxter was.
both referee and time keeper. There
was but one round and it was a lively
one. The contestants meant business
from the start and no love taps were ex-
changed. 1t was slug and punch with
counters and uppers-cuts all the way
through the three minutes allotted to
them. Knowlton assumed the aggressive
from the start but Lord held his end up.
The latter had slight advantage as to
reach.
Seven OF eight blows were exchanged
and then Knowlton caught Lord under
the chin and he went to the floor in a
heap. He was plucky and was on his
feet in an instant and led for his adver-
sary with terrific swings, one of which
came near bringing his opponent to his
feet. Lord put in a wicked blow, when
quick as flash Knowlton retaliated with
a cross counter that knocked Lord
through the curtain. Time was called
and they smilingly bowed their thanks
for the long and loud applause.
The dumb bell and Indian club drills
were fine and the special fencing of Carl
ton and Piercy, and the work on the fly
ing rings by Messrs. Foster, Gahan,
Machan, Stetson and Leighton, were
clever.
There should have been big attend
ance, especially when Portland boasts of
an athletic club of nearly 500 members.
