THE BUNco GAME.
A Youthful Canadian swindled Out of
Twenty-Five Dollars.

young man from Canada got some
useful experience about the English
steamer Thursday. While looking about
the wharf he encountered a easant gen.
tleman of winning ways, who seemed to
be loading some cattle. The acquaint-
ance ripened fast, and soon he of the
winning ways said:
My wife and children are in the ship.
Wait until I go down and speak to them,
and then we will look over the city a lit
tle."
So the stranger went ipto the bowels
of the ship, and after a time reappeared.
Then the two went up Commercial
street until they came to place where
the winning stranger had bill of S25 to
pay, and only a fve-hundred dollar
check to pay it with. So the confding
young Canadian lent the winning strang-
er the S25 and the latter went into the
building.
1t is needless to say that the Young
Canadian waited without in vain, and
finally realized that be had been swim

This game is played about the English
steamers once or twice every winter.

Democracy-Capt. Chase is Jubilant.


The nomination of ex-Mayor John W.

year salary attached. fell like a thunaer
bolt in town Thursday. The hitherto IN.
vincible Plum Trust had backed Hon. III. !.

Mr.. Cleveland had spoken Capt. Deerina
once before and had found him sea dog
after his own heart. Then there were the
fine things said about Captain Deering in
the District convention by Messrs. Frank,
Clifford and others.
When the shipping resolution came up IN
the Portland Board of Trade, Capt. Deering
scored another point.
How do the Portland Democracy like iff
There is enc Democrat at least. who is
thoroughly happy.
Captain Char les Il. Chase was one of the
happiest Democrats in Portland when the
news came. sit pleases us old sea dogs
said Captain Chase, swhen one of our mates

dent has done gloriously, and that general
satisfaction will greet the decision"
Of course Captain Chase did not say it,
but the nomination is blow between the
eyes of the Democratic organization in
these parts.
Mr. Deering was born in Saco. York
County. Maine. August, 1883. educated at
the public schools and at Thornton
Academy. At an early age he adopted the
sea for his profession, graduating in short
time from ships forecastle to the quarter
deck, and taking command of his first ship
early in 1856. Retiring from the sea, he has
been engaged in mercantile life in the city
of Portland since 1867, and for about twenty
years in tho Southern Pine Timber Trade.
He was elected by the Republicans in 1880
and 1881, member of the Board of Alder
men of Portland, and in 1855 by the Demo-
Gratis, he was elected raayor of Portland.
The next year be ran and was defeated by
Hon. NJ. T. King. In 1885 he was again
elected mayor by the Democrats. and run
ming the next year was again defeated. He
reappeared again in politics in the last
campaign, in this Congressional district.
when he ran against Mr.. Reed, being de-
feated by plurality of over 5000.

WHY TELEPHONES ARE DEAR.
Extract From an Interview with
Prof. Graham Bell.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
How about cheap telephones? Would
not putting down the rates so increase
the business as TO make 1t pay Tar better
than It does now?'
''The telephone business" replied Mr..
Bell lis like no other that / know Of.
In ordinary business the result would
be as you suppose. But with the tele-
phone the increase in the number of
subscribers increases the trouble of man
aging the business enormously. If, for
instance you have fifty telephones ami
fifty subscribers, you can supply them
cheaper and easier proportiOnately than
90 Telephones and 1905 subscribers. The
original 20, in the last instance can talk
with 20 times as many people, and he
remaining $50 can talk with them. There
is no Droportionate decrease in expense.
What we should have would be a charge
for telephones in proportion to the num-
Der of times they are used, and to the
length of the conversation through them.
If we had this, there would be fewer
servant girls gossiping over the wires,
and the expense would be paid by the
people who received the benefit.
LAS to the cost of the telephones, 1t IS
not the telephone itself that costs so
much. It Is the machinery in connection
with IT, We have just put in a new
switch board in Baltimore, which cost
US 5000 and we have every where ex-
penses proportionately great. But as TO
this matter / have nothing to do. / know
nothing as TO the financial working Of
