The Rridgton Caucu

To the Editor of the Press:
The Bridgton News has the following ed.
itorial this week:
The Portland papers claim the Bridgton
delegates to the county convention as AL
for Plummer' for Sheriff. Very likely this
may be true. But it is also true that there
was quite large number of the voters who
would have been glad to have registered
their choice for another of the candidates
had some one taken the trouble to provide
a delegate list of that flavor: or if some eX-
preston upon the subject could have been
had. The method of making up the caucus
bill-ot-fare in Bridgton is decidedly faulty
and ought neither to be practiced or tolerat-
ed.
If Major Shorey wanted another delegate
list why didn't he make one up and strike
some ballots off in his printing office? 1t
would seem that there must be decided
lack of spunk among those friends OF
"other candidates who swallowed the
caucus bill of fare" when few cents in
vested in printers ink would have enabled
them to have had bill of fare of their own.
The tickets for the delegates elected were
written with pen and ink by men who
wanted to vote that ticket. The names OF
the men who were candidates for the county
convention were publicly known in Bridg-
ton for week before the caucus. Those
who wanted another ticket had ample time
to arrange one.

Funeral of Frederick Fox.

The funeral of Mr.. Frederick Fox took
place from his late residence on State
street yesterday afternoon. There was a
large attendance of well known citizens.
DESTROYS of paying their last tribute of
respects. The Cumberland Bar was
largely represented, headed by Governor
Cleaves. Mayor Cordwell of Westbrook
and the TRUSTEES of the Westbrook library
were present. Among the members of
the Masonic order in high standing were
Hon. Josiah Fl. Drummond and Stephen
Berry. The officers of Atlantic Lodge at
tended The casket was placed in the
front parlor, and all around the room
were beautiful floral gifts from many
friends
The services were conducted by Rev.
Mr. Perkins, pastor of the First Parish
church and were very simple. The
clergyman read the usual Selections from
the Scriptures, followed by selection
from Buddha, a poem by Sir Edwin Ar
mold, and one by George Eliot. and
offered prayer. This closed the services.
Judge Peabody and Hon. H. Fogg offic-
lated as pall-bearers, and the remains
were inferred at Evergreen. At the
cemetery the kind regard of Superinten-
dent Floyd and others who had known
Mr.. Fox in the days when he was doing
much for Evergreen, had caused special
preparations to be made. The interment
was on the lot of Edward Fox, the de-
ceased's brother, in the older orsnorthern
portion of the cemetery. In the first
place the grave was lined with evergreen
on the inside and for space of six feet
around it Cut flowers were interspersed
with this evergreen, giving a pleasing
effect. But the most care had been ex-
pended on large bank at the head of
the grave The words cat Rest" in
large letters, were formed by Madame
solleir geranium leaves on handsome
background of purple lilac blossoms.
The bank was crowned with geraniums,
wax begonias and palms, strikingly in
termingled with the brilliant French
Gamma.
All work was suspended by the work
men at the cemetery at 8 p. M, out of
respect to the deceased.

A MYSTERY.
Where is the Owner of the Horse?

Since Wednesday Morning There Has
Been an Ownerless Horse and Team in
There Was Rum Bottle
In the Team.
Wednesday morning at about three
O'Clock horse and team, without a
driver, strayed into the yard of Mr..
George w. johnson at Stroudwater. The
horse was not a very valuable animal.
1t had two spavins and two shoe gals.
1t was bay in color, with black name
and tail. The buggy was in fairly good
condition. In it were lap robe, twelve
tomato plants and quart bottle of rum.
The bottle was full.
No owner has yet appeared. The horse
is now held by Mr.. Alpheus F. Leighton
of Stroudwater. The presence of the
liquor in the buggy would seem so show
that bbe driver was drinking man.
Whether he had stolen the team and let it
go wnen he got through with it. whether
he is still on a drunk somewhere, or
whether there was an accident and he
is lying dead or unconscious somewhere
is still a mystery. 1t would seem as il
the driver of the horse must have been
the owner, otherwise the owner would
have put in an appearance by this time.
City Marshal Trickey was notified
but up to yesterday noon there was no
light thrown on the mystery. 1t would
seem as if the horse had been purposely
abandoned, for had the owner or driver
met with misfortune surely some stir
would have been made somewhere, by
somebody, to ascertain his whereabouts.

NATIVE TONGUE LEARNED TWICE.
Peculiar Experience of a Young Dane Who
Lives Here.


One of the walters at the Cum berland
Club is young Dane. about 20 years
old, named Thorwald. He came over
from Denmark about three or four years
ago, and could not speak then a word of
English. One of the gentlemen of the
club, knowing this, was astonished, after
asking him the place of his birth, to
hear him give certain number of a GER
tain street in this city. Yet the young
man spoke the truth He was born here,
but when he was five years old his par
ents moved back to Denmark. There he
remand for the next ten or twelve years.
Of course he learned English here as a
little boy, and in his native land had to
learn his native tongue. When he re-
turned here he had forgotten the Ian
guage of his babyhood, and had to learn
anew the tongue of the land of his
birth

Good Haul of Mackerel.

Charles Deering, who runs small sloop
for fishing, came in yesterday with a thou
sand pounds of fresh mackerel, which
caught Thursday night off this port. The
fare netted him $50 or 800.
Other boats are getting few mackerel Mr.
behring's mackerel will not however, supply
the demand for mackerel here. Dealers here
often buy Nova Scotia fresh mackerel,
which come by way of Boston, These Nova
Scotia rnaekerel pay half a cent pound
but often sell cheaper in Portland than
those caught by our own fishermen.

The Street Railroad.

To the Editor of the Press:
Would it not pay for the street rail
road to extend it's lines through St.
John street to Danforth, even if it is not
expedieat to go over the bridge. 1t would
be of untold advantage to those living
in that direction besides accommoda-
ting people going to the Cape, and
wonld help to bring proderty into the
market which is now lying idle. 1t Ger.
tainly seems time that something was
done to boom that end of the city.

Masculine Privileges.

Man has great many advantages that
woman has not, says the Chicago Record.
For instance:
He can run after a departing train and hurl
himself on the back platform, instead Of
signing and then sitting down demurely and
waiting twenty minutes for the next one.
He can call on the girls he likes and let Sc
verely alone those he doesn't care for, while
girl must entertain one caller as courteous
ly as another. This Is one of mans greatest
privileges.
He isn't frowned upon II he casually re-
marks that he's in love. A girl Is expected
TO conceal such a secret as carefully as she
does the fact that she still owes SLIT TO her
dress-maker.
He can purchase dress suit and the usual
accessories that go with 1t and be all fitted
out for the next year or two. II girl al
