Water company have placed the main

of earth extends the whole length of
the street, and after every rain great
puddles of water will collect in the
street and, owing to the darkness of
that street in the night, makes it u

Pieces.

New Haven, Conn.,, June 6.-The steam
tug Rambler, one of the best boats belong
ing to the Empire and New England Trans

several others.

explosition that was heard and felt way in
to the centre of the city. simultaneously
there was huge cloud of steam seen to rise
from the end of the dock and a, great body
of water dashed high above. When the
steam cleared away, nothing could be seen
of the tug. The boiler burst and parts of
the wheel house was hurled 1000 yards. The
cook, Frederick Weller, was in the galley

boat.

No district in the state has held prouder

Since 1t is a position of such honor and re-

that it should excite the s,, en-, emulation Of the
times and we cannot spare from two to four
years to educate representative.
We want a man who has the grandest
combination of heart and brain in this dis

measure and rounded quantities all these
things. 1 shall attempt no eulogy. l shall
even abstain from words of commentator
and praise.

State, Pays Her Grateful Tribute
The Names of Harnlin, Reed, Blaine

of Her Well Known Sons
ssSan Francisco, June estate of Maine day
was celebrated at the Mid Winter Exposition
today. Many turned out to do honor to sthe
Pine Tree State. The exercises were held
in Festival hall under the auspices of the
State of Maine Association, and included
addresses by President Day, Frederick E.
Whitney, Director-G eneral De Young, the
Governor of Nevada and ex-Congresman
Hilborn of California. The poem was by j.
G.. Seyerence.
Prof. Knowlton, a native of Maine, and
vice president of the local association, de-
Hvered an oration in which he said: "We
honor Maine because she has proved a very
fruitful birthplace of the noblest physical,
men and moral characters. We honor the
conspicuous abilities and unsullied life
record of her public officials, state and
federal. Our minds instant Grecur to ,Fes
senden, Morrill,, Hamlin, Blaine and Reed.
We may gather additional cause for thank
fulness and self graduation if we turn for a
moment to brief roll of few of the
things for which we honor our native state,
because she has them not. Do you seek an
army of loafers, tramps. impudent bummers,
if so you must look elsewhere. Maine has
them not. Are you looking for internal
plots,s murderous foreign anarchists who
plot them. not in the Pine Tree State will
you find them. Tall pines are quite too
handy, and strong hemp quite too plenty,
and sturdy arms are quite willing. Do you
search for a dog-in-the-manger striker, who
will neither work himself nor let capable
and willing neighbors do so, the climate of
Maine is quite too discouragingly arctic for
such non-industrial reptiles. Horse ponds,
horse whips, fence rails, fine tar and the
most appr opriate goose feathers are too
abundant.
