Wanted to Can Sardines.

Three boys, Frank White. 10, Willie
Remington, u, and Robert Gilchrist, Is
years old, were arrested yesterday morn
ing, on the arrival of the boat from Bos-
ton, the arrest being made at the request
of officers at Chelsea, Mass. The boys
admitted that they left home without
the knowledge of anyone. They had
heard of Eastport as the place where
"Little fishes billed in lie" are put up,
and concluded that they would like to
work in a sardine factory. They thought
that Eastport was about 10 miles from
Portland, manifesting an ignorance re-
garding distances in Maine worthy of the
news editor of New York paper. They
wilted when told that tramp of 200
miles or so was before them, and went
to the station. At noon Deputy Hart
nett ordered the little scamps to be given
good dinner, add last evening Deputy
Sterling returned them to the officials of
the boat and they were sent back.

WHAT THE MoToRMAN SAW.
A Woman Lying in the Street With Her
Head by the Rail.

She is old and she drinks something
stronger than tea. She had been drink
ing last night before she lay down about
10 o'clock by the track of the electric
railroad just over the bridge in Deering.
She slept SO soundly that she did not
hear the approaching car, and had the
motorman not seen her, the old woman's
drunken nap might have proved her
last long sleep. The man on the front
platform was startled when the swiftly
moving patch of light thrown by the big
lantern suddenly revealed the form ofasa
woman lying in the street with her head
close to the rail. He shut off the cur
rent and damned down the brakes, but
could not stop the heavy car before the
woman was struck and pushed aside.
But the speed of the car had been so re-
duced that the blow did no serious in
jury, It inflicted a bad scalp wound,
however, which was dressed at the Port
land police station to which the woman
was taken. She is well-l1nown there.
The police said that she is Mrs. Castle
who has been there before. She was
very much awake after being locked up
and made noise enough for dozen
men,

LIKES BOSTON METHODS.
Mayor Baxter Has Been Examining the
Departments at the Hub.

Mayor Baxter has returned from Bos-
ton, where he examined into the work

for example into the manner in which
laborers are hired, but more especially
into the workings of the fire department,
and the way in which the police depart
ment is run. His Honor was much
officials, who freely gave him all desired
information. He was at Station 33, OF
the fire department., and was also present
at an examination of applicants for
positions on the police force.
Mayor Baxter was much impressed with
what he saw. The examination was very
thorough, and was calculated to show
what every man could do.
He believes that in the long run, Bos-
ton, under the present system, will have
the best possible policesforce, and that it
will be truly "one of the finest" He was
impressed with the, thoroughness of the
physical examination. The candidate
was tested in every possible way. He
was made to show what he could do in
very possible emergency. 1t was the pur-
pose of the committee to know every ap-
plicant, and they succeeded. For ex-
ample, itlwas admitted that sometimes
the officer must be good runner, and
that fences would come in between him
and flying criminal. Accordingly the
applicants were made to run twenty
three times around the room, and were
met here and there by a cord raised
gradually, and over which they must
jump. The last raising of the cord when
Mayor Baxter was present foored" every
applicant save one. Mayor Baxter be-
lieves that some portions, at least, of the
Boston system might. be adopted here to
the great advantage of the service. He
proposes to try to induce some Of our
people to go up with him again, and
watch the workings of Boston methods.

We sincerely regret the dire

facturers to unload their stocks at

Eager only for two things.
First-To sell before the season
halts.
Second-To realize prompt cash
before bankruptcy rattles it's
bones in their ears.
We do regret the necessity, and
yet we take advantage of it.
With ready cash our buyer is
constantly in the market watch

large holder of Prints, desperate
for customer, and an outlet for
s.
his goods, accepted our buyers
heartless price offer for many
thousand yards of Best Print
Remnants, and here they are for 4
cents yard.
Another day the same lucky
chance sent our way almost
ship load of Blankets, which we
are selling at go cents pairs 90,
$1.25 up to So. 90 pair.
Still another fortunate stroke
lands a great stock of Ladies'
Ribbed Jersey Undervests and
Pants in our store, so that we can
sell them for IS cents each.
Another merchandise tidal wave
sweeps our way and brings us
Best Lining Cambrics SO that we
sell them to you for cts. yard.
And English Silesias for II
cents.
A random offer of a comical
price for a hundred dozen EN-
broidered Handkerchief. The
offer made partly to shake off the
persistent teasing of a greedy
drummer, resulted in capturing
the goods at price that gives
them to you at 25 cents each, and
a fair profit to us.
Still another streak Of luck
brought us a great mass Of
Heavy, All Silk, Gros Grain
Ribbons, No. 16, all colors, such
as we have been selling for 33
cents. These new ones are 25 cts.
In fact we can buy and sell new
goods greatly cheaper than the
old.
And so all along the line we are
replenishing our stock with new,
fresh attractive goods. No cob
