The inventors opportunity is to invent

DIR. Bailey thinks if the friends OF

City Marshal McFadden has succeeded
in shutting up another dive which for
long time has been source of disgust to
the respectable people of this city. 1t Is
the place in the Gilman block on Charles
street which has been kept by woman OF
unsavory reputation. Wednesday the plaee
was closed and the women have all LEFT
town while the furniture has been sold,
Not long ago the marshal closed the River
side house which has since been repaired
and is now run as a respectable place.
The Charles street dive has been giving
him considerable trouble of late and now
he has succeeded in driving these people
out of town.

The case of a sleepy railroad man has
come to light. A fellow from this city went
to Portland Tuesday to come out on the
freight which leaves there at p. M. In
the first of the evening the brakeman fell
asleep and did not wake until nearly 10
o'clock. His train had gone and he took
the Pullman for Waterville; but he again
fell asleep in the baggage car and
did not awake until the train arrived at
Clinton and the poor fellow could do moth
ing but walk back to this city.

Prof. Powers while away on his vacation
up in Piscataquis county says that he had a
most enjoyable trip and spent bis time in
providing the following kinds of fish for the
table. White perch, black bass, picRerel,
brook trout, lake trout and land locked
| salmon. He saw Is moose, a bear and
smaller game in abundance. He told the
following story about seeing the bear. Re-
turning to camp by moonlight after a
hard days fishing on Ship pond
stream with friend whom we will call
Herb. for short, and with guide, who was
padding the canoe, he saw on the bank a
little below them, something dim and shad-
owy, which looked suspiciously as though
it might exhibit signs of life if the proper
exciting influence could be supplied to
the nerve centers. Not feeling certain as
to what species the animal would claim re-
lationship he appealed to the guide. This
incredulous as to the existence of the sup
posed quadruped, but as they drlfted oppo-
site him, he exclaimed in hurried whisper,
"Get your rifle, it's bear, and an almighty
big one But cautious as the guide was
in giving the order, the bear heard him, and
with a growl disappeared into the darkness.
| The professor brought his rifle to bear, bnt
in vain. The canoe was shaking like a
man in an ague fit, precluding any possibil-
ity of an aim. 1t was supposed that the
cold night air and mist was accountable for
| the trembling, and moreover Herb did not
have his overcoat on, anyway.
