On Fifth Avenue, New York.

Fifth avenue is the fashionable thor
oughfare. 1t is mixture of the Edge
ware Road, New street, Birmingham
and the Champs Elysees. The pavement
is primitive and abominable, with, along
the edge, the lingering stumps of trees
that have recently been cut down. When
it rains, the water collects on the side
walks in pools that rise over your ankles.
The stone blocks in the road are of the old
rafting Oxford street oblong pattern.
II is the boast of Fifth avenue to be free
of tram, cable car and elevated railway.
It is the only one of the - or IL avenues
that is so free. The fashionablos keep
them out, as the gas was kept out of
GSrosvenor square.
The only public conveyance that runs
III the avenue, from Washington square
to Central park, about TWO miles, is a
broken down stage, drawn by four spav-
med, tired, hairy old horses. You see it
crawling along, full of well dressed peo-
pie, among the cabs and coupes and
smart carriages, and it looks like nothing
so much as Buffalo Bills Deadwood
coach, from the Earl's Court exhibition.

The Oneen,s Donkey.

When the queen was at Nice. she in
terested the people greatly by sometimes
driving her handsome donkey with her
own hands. Jocko is great pet, all the
moro SO because his kind hearted royal
mistress rescued him from misery and
Las had the pleasure Of seeing him grow
fat and sleek under her very eyes. She
first saw him in charge of his owner, an
Italian peasant, and noticing the thin,
starved looks Of both she asked the man
what he had paid for him. The sum be-
ing named, the queen doubled it and
told Giacomo to buy another donkey
This year Jocko's old master had the or
portunity of seeing him again and of
noting the pleasant change in his APP

CHARLIE KINGS ACCIDENT.

Be Crippled for Life.

A letter from Manager Burnham tt
the journal, from Pawtucket, Sunday
has the following regarding the sad acct
dent to Charlie King:
In the game, today. Charlie King, the
finest little ball player l ever handled, and
the most gentlemanly and genial DISPOSE
toned player 1 ever knew, met with a
frightful accident. He was running back
toward center field for fly ball, nearly
reached it, made a spring to one side just
as it came near him and fell to the ground
as though he had slipped on the grass.
One leg was broken at the knee. while the
knee of his right leg was put out of joint.
An ambulance was sent for. His brother
being present and requesting that he be
taken to the Massachusetts, General hospi-
tai at Boston, he was taken to the train on
a stretcher. He will not play again this
season and doubtful if ever again. Several
of the boys could not hold back the tears
when they looked upon the unfortunate
boy. He stood his trouble like veteran
and smiled upon his friends till he left us.
A paper has been started to raise sum
of money for the unfortunate boy and
will doubtless be signed by everyone, each
giving as much as his means will allow
1t is in a good cause and never will be
missed or regretted

great deal of his time in tho bar room,
and his niece who has lately come to his
home to live gets to be in love with the
son of the town drunkard, who by bel
good influence makes man OF himself

Mrs. ]. r. Hill.

There stands in Forest Grove cemeterv
an especially rare monument, and the
contract with tho makers stipulatcs that
not another Of the same design, which has
been copyrighted by them, shall be erected
In Kennebec county. 1t is token of re-
membrance for the late Mrs. Lizzie G..
Hill, wife of DR.. ]. F. Hill of this CITY
and daughter Of Hon. and Mrs. p. O.
Vickery.
The design is closed book resting
upon granite base and upon the closed
book rests an open book, upon the pages
OF which Is the engraving. Recently
when Mrs. Vickery was at Lowell, Mass
she saw a similar one and at once an order
was placed with the Westerly Granite
Company Of Rhode Island. The granite
base Is Is inches thick and about six feet
long and four in width. Upon this rests
the closed book neatly carved from a block
OF granite and is about five feet long and
three wide by 16 inches thick with "Vick-
cry at one end 1885" in the center and
Hill" upon the lower end. The open
book, which was very artistically carved
from block of fine granite stands
four and half feet high and look
ing into the book one notices that
the corners carved neatly giving the pages
232 and 1888 on one side and 234 and 235
on the other.
On the polished leaves of the book open
to view is the following selection from
Whittiers poems:
"Yet Love will dream and Faith will trust,
lSince He who knows our need is just.)
That somehow, somewhere meet we must,
Alas for him who never sees
The stars shine through his cypress trees!
Who hath not learned in hours of faith
The truth, to flesh and sense unknown
That Life is ever lord of Death,
And love can never lose it's own.
Meet today and part tomorrow,
Smiles OF Joy and tears of sorrow,
Such is human life.
But in gentle resignation,
And in sweet anticipation
or a higher, holier station,
We endure the strife.
The covers of the open book are very
highly polished and upon the front is this:

Some Of the features of this teams work
were Fifleld's long drive for three bases
over right field, and Mays clever first
base work, he covering this bag to the
delight of all. Clement as back stop
scooped everything with ease and made a
handsome two-base hit at a time when
such an act meant scores. Goulds pitch
ing was to the Queens taste, he striking
out several players at critical points.
The Colby team was made up as fol

McCrillis, pitcher; Tolman, catcher;
Mcclellan, first base; Roberts, second base
and captain; Pike, short stop; Tooker,
third base; Williams, right field; Wilson,

OF the Colby teams work, Mcclellan

thing coming his way with ease, and &C.
cepted IL chances with but one error.
Tolman behind the bat was at his best
and did excellent work. This team made
fine double play, Pike to Roberts to
