Democrats, the Republicans are
working hard in this county to de-
feat the Democratic ticket. If you
stay at home and depend upon
some one else doing your share of
the work they will win, but if every
Democrat in the county will put his
shoulder to the wheel and push with
might and main, victory is ours.
Don't wait to see what others are
doing but go ahead and push; talk
to your neighbors and friends and
get them interested. We have
ticket that cannot be excelled in
the State, and a vote for the entire
Democratic ticket means good men,
good principles and good times.
Senator Camden says there is no
doubt of Congressman Wilson's re-
election, and he also says there is
no doubt of the legislature being
Democratic. The party that is the
creature of the trusts and monopo-
lies, and has by its decentralization
of silver doubled the load of the
farmer and laborer and poor debtor
to carry, will find the people slow
to follow the standard of deception.
McKinley's platitudes and croak-
ings of woe woe II woelll will
not misIead the voters in the face
of the returning tide of prosperity.
Republican papers are about ceas-
ing their opposition to the univer-
sal revival of trade that setin all
over the country after the passage
of the Democratic tariff bill. The
improvement was SO great and so
apparent that stand against it
could no longer be made. And now
we are in constant expectation of
hearing some Republican journal
attempt to steal Democratic thun-
der by setting up the claim that
trade Improvement has resulted
from the expectation of a Republi-
can victory in 1896.

whitbx and Cooks Circu s.

The Cleveland Journal says: "The
Cook & Whitby English Circus and
Menagerie, which exhibited here yester-
day was revelation to our people, of
the possibilities of genuine Old World
Circus, and makes our well known and
hackneyed shows seem very shabby and
poor indeed by comparison. High class
equestrian and athletic exhibitions in
the three rings and the two elevated
stages, new and never dreamed of by
our American showmen, followed each
other in bewildering succession, amazing
and confounding the immense audience.
while the numerous clown acts inter
spersed would throw them into convul-
sions of laughter and merriment. We
cannot praise Cook & Whitby too highly.
Their parade nearly a mile in length was
a succession of open dens and wagons
and blooded horses. all blazing in gold
silver and silk, their menagere the most
extensive one ever viewed, their circus
and .hippodrome performance lmmeasur-
ably superior to any we know, or have
ever witnessed. The balloon ascensions
were successfully accomplished while
the various free exhibitions during the
day would more than equal the entire
stock in trade of ninety-nine per cent
of the shows that have ever visited
Cleveland.n The circus will be seen in
Portland August 23d.

AFTER FORTY YEARS,
An Incident of the Late Centennial of
Bowdoin College.

An interesting event took place in con-
neotion with the recent centennial of Bow
doin College that was told to PRESS rep
resentative yesterday by a leading member
of the Cumberland Bar. as one of the feat
ures of college experience.
A couple of lads some torty-fye years ago
entered the venerable college and became
chums For four years they occupied the
same bed and were more devoted to each
other than many brothers. After gradua-
ton their paths diverged and then never
met. Both determined to attend the CEN
tennial. One has made disting uished
record as soldier, the other is we'll
known lawyer. The lawyer left Portland
for Brunswick in the company of the man,
who told us the story. He was very anxious
to meet his old chum and asked his COM
panion many questions as to how he looked.
When Brunswick was reached the lawyer
was told he couldn't fail to run across his
friend, and babe good bye to his companion.
The Portland man soon struck the veteran
soldier and told him his old chum was there
and hunting for him. lis that so,'' he re-
piled, land what does he look like?'' 'Oh!''
said the Portland man, you'll know him
when you see him.
Soon the Portland man espled the lawyer
and managed to bring the soldier up and
walk all around the lawyer. Neither of
them gaze a sign of recognition of the
other, and the Port land man had to intro
duce them. 1t can well be imagined how
curiously they looked at each other and
how many questions they had to ask and
answer. One of these men was Gen.
Roberts, of Bangor, and the other Lawyer
Frink, of Portsmouth.

A CURIOUS LIFE.
Why Great Chebeague Islander Lives In
Boat In a City Dock-A City Hermit.

The Low. Worthley's sailhoat, that was
for Boothbay yesterday. The man who had
lived in her alone for the past two months
is Charles Weber of Great Chebeague
Island. He is about 60 years Of age and his
is a curious life. He lives nearly all the year
round in unused boats in the DOCKS, when
ever he can find free accommodations, and
there is always some small schooner hauled
up at the wharf, as was this one of Worth
ley's. He follows this lonely life, although
he has a wife and family on Great
Chebeauge, and all because the CLANS have
become scarce at Great Chebeague, and in
the lower han Dor, and because they are
twice as numerous in the upper harbor. All
winter long he makes his hermit home in a
boat and goes claiming either on the flats
up above the bridge OF dow1. around the
Diamond islands.
Sometimes he doesn't visit his home for
month, and even longer. He is the only
Great Chebeague clam digger who follows
this custom winter and summer land he has
done so for five or six years. but others,
since the CLANS have begun to get scarce
down the harbor, have come up here in the
winter. where they live in vessels in the
docks. Five OF six lived in one large
schooner last winter and there were some
eight or ten il all who were driven to this
peculiar life in the search for CLANS In
the summer most of them work on the stone
sloops. They have been down to Rockland
this summer.

A MEMORIAL WINDOW
Now Being Made in Portland for an
Aroostook Church.


Aroostook people are certainly enter
prising in all respects. A small congre-
gational church is now being built in
the little town Of Island Falls, on the
line of the new railroad. 1t was incor
porated as town in 1872, and was SET
tied by Levi Sewall and Jesse Craig
from Pennington, in 1s43, or fifty years
ago. Its population is ouly about $50
people, yet this little hamlet in the
woods, where the big tannery was recent
" built, is going to have in its little
new church one of the handsomest and
cost1iest stained glass memorial win
dows in the state.
1t is now being constructed in in the
only stained glass window factory in
this state, and that is located on Ex-
change street, in this city, and is operat-
ed by Cyrus Farley. This memorial
window is in memory of the two first
settlers, and is presented to the church
by their children, now residing in Island
Falls. 1t will be a double window, ten
feet high, with pointed gothic arches
and beautiful designs. On plate OIL
one side will be inscribed the names
Jesse and Eliza Craig" and on the
other "Levi and Rebecca Sewall."
Mr.. Farley is doing other work for
this new Aroostook church, and in his
window is now hung beautiful rose
window about four feet in diameter,
with a crown and cross in the middle,
that will adorn the gable end.

A new safe is being put into the office
of the q. S. Marshal for Maine, the first
that was ever placed in the office since

joke might say that it remained for a
Democratic administration to make the
Office so valuable that safe was needed
to keep the money in, but we are assured
that is not the reason. The Treasury
Department has ordered the safe put in

belonging to the office may have ample
