ON BOARD.
Kicks Above and Below
Decks.
An Able Seaman Talks About the
Department of Jacks when on
Sea Voyage.

Quite recently Hawaii has created de-
mand for mules. Every vessel that sails
for the Islands takes down a deckload of
jacks to be worked on the sugar planta-
tions and as common carriers.
An able seaman and a mule do not as a
usual thing gel along very we'll together,
and there Is generally kicking above and
below decks when a crew is shipped on a
vessel upon whose manifest these stub
born beasts are enumerated In 8 bold,
round hand.
salt water don't agree with mule
any more than fresh water agrees with a
sailor" declared coast seam an of expert
ence 20 a CALL reporter. "As you are
aware the mule objects TO going on board
of ship from the very start, and 1T usual
ly requires derrick and half a dozen men
to cOerce him.
Slut there is one thing very strange in
connection with mule. I've never known

of vessel being boarded by high sea 8 o
long as decklOad OF mules were on her"
GLOW does a mule act at sea ?'
''Well, that is hard question TO answer
Every mule has different manner of con-
Quoting himself during an ocean voyage.
Naturally enough, mule don't know
the difference between SOU west gale and
the trade winds. he is just as liable to
raise a disturbance when the ship is in a
dead calm as he is to remain az docile as a
chunk of pork in a cask when all hands
are thinking about taking to the lifebOats.
'If you feed mule too much at sea he
is apt to get gay. And then it is that the
for'castle hands begin to growl. Clatter-
ing hoofs and the braying of a dozen asses
do not improve a sailors temper, and
usually the mules have to be placed on
short rations.
"When ship rides heavily and plunges
it is funny to see the jacks try to stand
with their heads toward the bow and
their tails toward The stern. In This way
they can play candlestick, with the vessel
for a Seesaw.
Zone time shipped in a vessel that had
load of mules on board. We met With
misfortune during our outbound trip.
There was young sailor on board
named Morris, who wasn't much of sea-
man. One dark night when Morris was
taking a trick at the wheel a mule got
away from the deck corral in some unac-
COuuAdOlc anu obdfbcu UA uu tUuT
of Investigation.
morris was watching the bullying
canvas overhead and dreaming of home
His thoughts were far away from the
| bowling of the wind and the swishing OF
waters alongside.
Suddenly two long ears approached,
pointing toward his face. and two blinking
bright eyes looked into his own. Then
from an invisible source came a sound
that would have walked the dead.
"MorTis dropped the wheel and went
over the rail like sinker. We never saw
him again.
1.-The ship preached to and fell into the
trough of the sea. The officer on watch
rushed to the wheel, and when he got
there discovered tile mule that had got
loose looking knowingly into the bin
nacle."
This was more Of yarn than THE
CALL man cared to try 10 mentally digest.
so he bid the able seaman good-day and
went down to Folsom-s rect wharf TO
watch band OF mules being loaded on to
a barkentne bound for Honolulu.

At a meeting of the creditors yesterday

The main cause for the failure was the
Inability OF the firm TO collect outstanding

directly were they obliged to succumb.

Lee Smith.

All friends of Mr.. and Mrs. F. B. Smith,
will sympathize deeply with them in the
loss of their beautiful boy, Lee, aged 2
years, l l months, "a days,who quietly went
to sleep on Saturday evening, August f..
To those who had watched him from his
birth he seemed remarkably winning and
loveable child. His finely shaped head,
and sturdy little form, seemed to speak of
years of life before him. His store of
humor, in one so young was unusual, and
manner of entertaining his mothers callers,
so attracted and captivated them, that many
mere acquaintance will mourn sadly, to-
day, when they learn that the light of that
little life has gone out forever. About 10
days ago he took very sudden cold, which
developed so rapidly in the form of both
brain and bowel trouble that the little
sufferer himself said Il can't be well
again" The parents have felt from the
first that their hold of him was slight, but
their patient endurance of the stroke, and
their calm resignation to the will of God,
proves their reconition of the fact, that our
Father does not smite willingly; but,
'Whom the Lord loveth He chastineth,"
"Ay, it is well;
Well with my lambs and with their earthly guide
There pleasant rivers wander they beside,
Or strike sweet hsrps upon its stlyerti "*.

MAINE STATE FAIR.
Arrangements Being Made 10 Have The Exhib
its Exceptionally Fine.

Probably larger list of new and inter-
estng features will be provided for at the
Maine State fair this year than usual. The
officials have been active in securing many
unique exhibits from various parts of New
England, many of which will make up at
fractions never before seen at any fair
given in this State.
One especially fine display will be that
of painted china ware which will not escape
attention, especially from the ladies'. The
festival Of flowers will be in charge OF the
State Floral Emblem Society, and will be
an interesting part of the great show. A
part of this festival Of flowers will be
known as the 'battle of flowers" and fol-
lowing it, lO-minute speeches will be given
by Governor Cleaves, Senator Frye, Con-
gressmen Reed and Dingley, Hon. o. d.
Baker and Hon. C. F. johnson.
The food exhibit will be larger than
usual and especially fine, many having
agreed to place the very best before the
public. The interest in the industrial and
agricultural lines has been increased
by additional prizes being offered
which will be awarded will
the usual first, second, third and fourtf
prizes.
The list Of entries for the races have no
only been large, but have shown that goot

night in the station, and one Of whom
claimed that he had been robbed, were lie,
ont Saturday. There was no truth in his
story.
A new man is wanted to act as dog killer,
Jerry Pomeroy having become afraid that
some of the parties from whom he had TAX
en- CANNES would prove too hot company
for him.
So many men have passed through here this
summer for the line of the Wiscasset & Que
bee Railroad that tits probable that the station
will be well filled many cold nights during
the fall and early part of the winter. These
men will be returning from work, many of
them as badly broke as when they brought
up in the police court for getting full" on
the liquor which they claimed some old
friend gave them, when they met him on
the street.
The police station has undergone a
thorough cleaning and the inside has been
painted.

STATE MUSTER FIELD.
improvements Of This Year Noted and Other
Chat About II.

Beginning Saturday, Aug. IL, the atten
ton of Augusta and largely throughout the
State will be directed to the State music,
for the week following. 1t will be the
largest yet held, and it is expected that there
will be many visitors. The various compa.
nits from different parts of the State will
arrive here next Saturday and will be mus.
tered into camp. If Sunday is a pleasant
day large number of people will undoubt.
edly visit the field.
The muster grounds embrace tract of
land covering about GO acres, part of which
forms o fine plateau, from which magnif-
cent view of fine surrounding country is
afforded. With the additional forces this
wear the field will most assuredly present a
much livelier scene and the officers will be
kept very busy.
A JOURNAL man in company with Col.
G. A. Philbrook Of the Second Regiment
visited the muster field and few of the i'm
provements of this year were noted. Owing
to the coming in of several new companies
the quarters have been somewhat enlarged.
Three new mess houses have been built and
two mess tents will be spread, the bottoms
for which have just been completed.
Several new sink houses have been erected
and minor repairs have been made to the
mess houses and stables.
Looking from headquarters the
Second Regiment will be located
at the right of the field and to
the left will be the First. The mess
houses and stables have just been white
washed and present new appearance. The
regimental lines will be inside of the mess
houses this year, instead Of outside as last.
There will not be any arc lights used this
year. the incandescents taking their place.
The distance for shooting will not be over
200 yards, so the staging from which the
markmen practice will be removed.
A new guard house has been built and is
20xl2. 1t has not window in it and the I'M
ruly soldier boy who is lodged therein will
be in safe keeping till the good Samaritan
arrives to let him out. When clean, white
white tents are spread, Saturday, on the
green grass, it will make beautiful pic
ture and in all probability, some one with a
snap shot camera will be posing at one side
of the field with that press-the-button ma
,b;no Tyo now stoyps have been added
and the cooking utensils and dishes all
around have been increased. Thursday
will be Governors day, and without doubt
large number of distinguished visitors
will lend their honorary presence. The
camp will close doors, Friday night, and
the volunteers will return home, surely
feeling happy over the six days on the
muster field.

at first sight an impossibility. 1t is, how

GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY?
The Journal Interviews the Alleged Burglars
Now in Kennebec Jail.

Waldo G. Maynard of Massachusetts,
Alpheus A. Gross of Oakland, and John
w. Rowe of Waterville, the three fellows
who are in the Jail in this city on suspicion
OF being connected with the burglar:es at
oakland, which have been extensive during
the past few months, were interviewed yes
terday by JOURNAL representative. At
the hearing before Judge Rowell of
Hallowell, Friday, they did not talk
very freely, but it was thought that the
evidence against them was quite strong.
The JOURNAL man called at the Jail, Sat-
day, and had brief conversation with
them. They were all in one cell in the
basement seemingly well content. OF
course they denied being guilty and of ever
having anything to do with the burglaries at
Oakland.
Maynard is a man about 50 years of age.
He will weigh 10 pounds, and has smooth
round face, blue eyes and closely cut hair.
He does not show evidence Of being a
desperate character. His hearing is some
what defective. He is about fl.
Ia in. in height. In conversing with
the JOURNAL man he declared that he had
arrived in Oakland from Massachusetts, to
visit his sister. This was the day before
A. C. Taylor's store at Oakland was broken
| into. He claims that Oakland is his home
and that he lived there about % years.
Rowe says that his home is in Waterville
and that he is married and has small
family. He claims that he is a jobber and
was employed at Oakland. He has brown
| eyes, light mustache of the same color,
brown hair, partly curly, he will weigh
about lG5 lbs, height oft, in. He
is apparently the most intelligent of the
three and is rather good looking man.
Gross was smoking corn-cob pipe and
to judge from the appearance was the
toughests of the three. He will weigh about
l63 lbs, is about fit. in. in height, and
has smooth face. He says that he is mar
ried and has family living in Oakland.
All of them claim they will be able to
bring sufficient proof before the court at
the hearing, Tuesday, to show that they
were not connected with the Oakland rob-
berries. They declare that it will be easy
to furnish witnesses who will readily give
testimony that they were not near the Tay-
lor store on the night of the breaking and
entering.
