Everybody Push.

| The greatest carnival that is held in
America is the Mardi Gras festival al
New Orleans. For a week the entire pop
ulace of the city deyotes itself to gayety,
some special event being celebrated
each day or evening. The fun eliminates
| in three great parades given by three
societies; first that of the Mystic Krewe
of Proteus, then the one in honor o1
Rex the King of the carnival, and final
ly that of the Mystic Krewe of Comus.
Each one of these parades is composed
of 20 or more most elaborately decorated
floats. From year to year each society
decides upon some story to be illustrated
by their paarde, or some special theme.
The designs are made by an artist in
Paris who comes over each year to super.
intend their development. The sub jects
taken for illustration this year were
"Asgard and the Gods" by the Krewe
lof Proteus, "The Song of Long Ago, -
by the Krewe Of Comus and Fergus
Humes, "Chronicles of Fairyland and
Fantastic Tales for Old and Young, for
the procession of Rex.
Months of preparation are devoted to
these parades and in result beautiful spec
tacles that draw visitors from all part of
the country. st. Louis also has a carnival
after the style of the one in New Orleans,
and now Portland is to attempt feature
that will have resemblance to the pa
rades. 1t will be the floral parade to be
given the second day of the New England
Fair, Wednesday, August 28th.
To make a success of this feature will
require considerable work and above all
the hearty cooperation of our business
men, our clubs, our societies, with the
management of the fair. The city gov
ernment has already taken steps to assist,
while several of our merchants have
promised to take hold and do all within
their power. 1t is probable that some
day this week a representative of the Fair
management will canvass among the
business houses so as to find out about
how many floats or carriages viii take
part.
AS this will be new thing in this city
many will not fully understand just how
to go to work or will need some sugges-
tions to aid them. Manager Farnham
has sent to New Orleans and has succeed
ed in obtaining nearly 100 designs that
have been used in the former parades
there, and will be pleased to put them at
the disposal of any one interested. The
designs are exceedingly elaborate, but
from them many ideas may be obtained
that can be worked up into beautiful
display at very slight expense.
Let all take hold with a will and show
our visitors that Portland is wide-awake
and can make display worthy her own
natural beauty, which is unrivalled by
any city in the country.

Brunswick, June 12.-The devotional
service which opened this morning S
session of the Cumberland North Congre-
gational Conference, was conducted by
Rev. F. W. Davis of Cumberland.
Following this service was the bust
| ness session of the day.
| The nominating committee submitted
the following names, which were accept
ed:
Place of next meeting, Freeport.
Preacher, Rev. Edwin B. Mason, ID, of
| Brunswick
Substitute, Rev. Arthur Smith, South
| Freeport
Committee Of arrangements-Rev E. C..
Brown, pastor, Rev. Arthur Smith, and
Deacon J. p. Merrill.
Visitor to the Bangor Seminary-Rev.
Il. b Mason, Brunswick.
Committee on feeble churches-Rev L.
J. Thomas, Auburn; Rev. Arthur Smith,
South Freeport; Rev. FL. 0. Thayer, Gray.
The committee on missionary work
| recommended that the usual appropria-
tion of $25 be made for the churches
at West Minot and Poland, and it was
voted to SO instruct the treasurer.
When the matter of raising money to
assist in paying the debt of $4,000 of the
Maine Missionary Society came up, live
discussion ensued. Rev. f. W. Davis said
that the society was really a CLOSE cor
poration," and that beyond assisting
financially, the Congregational churches
had nothing to do with it, He thought
that the churches should be represented,
and that it would be an easy matter to
arise the necessary funds if it were the
case. "There is no need of such debt, y
said MI; Davis, "and it should not exist. "
Rev. Geo. M. Howe replied, as one of the
trustees of the society, and showed that
annually, was a member of the society,
with all the rights and privileges of suf-
frage. and said that if the Congregation
al churches had nothing to say about
the expenditures of the society's funds,
it was lack of interest, not right. It
was voted to take no action on the mat
ter.
This afternoon, following devotional
service, led by Rev. G. M. Howe of Lewis
ton, a short business session was held.
At the suggestion of Rev, Mr.. Davis, it
was voted to request the committee on
feeble churches to have general care
over the weaker churches of the confer
ence.
Rev. Mr.. Howe urged that it was unnec-
essary to have the county conference of
such long duration and suggested that
uoTcdlteT Guo WOFK SnOulQ De uOno IN one
day. AS no motion was made, however,
the matter was dropped.
\ The usual vote Of thanks to the enter
tanning committee and to the railroads
was passed.
At 2. 80 Rev. E. W. Davis of Cumberland,
preached from Matthew, 9, 37-38: 'tThen
said He unto His disciples, the harvest
truly is plenteous, but the laborers are
few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the
harvest that He will send forth laborers
unto His harvest -
At the close of the sermon, the COM
munion of theLord' S supper was admins
tered by Rev. H. o. Thayer of Gray and
Rev. Mr.: Brown of Freeport, after which
the conference stood adjourned
The following delegates were present
today who were not here yesterday

A Pleasant OCCASION.

A very large representation of the mem
bers Of the First Baptist society gathered
at the home of the pastor, Rev. w. S.
Ayres, for the purpose of house warm
ing in his new and spacious home on
Cumberland street. last evening. After
short time spent in pleasant greetings,
ME. w. K. Neal, in behalf of the men OF
the parish, in few bright and fitting
words, presented Pastor Ayres with a
Keating bicycle, of the latest pattern,
purchased at the agency of W. II. Nc.
Causland. Mr.. Ayres was completely
surprised, but responded in his usual
sincere manner, expressing his apprecia-
tion of the kind spirit which prompted
the gift.
Hardly had this surprise passed of
when Mr.. Neal was again called upon te
speak in behalf of the ladies of the
society, presenting to Mrs. Ayres. hand
some leather finished oak arm chair, and
complete set Of table china. To say that
Mrs Ayres was as thoroughly surprised
as her husband is mild way of putting
1T
The evening passed off all too quickly,
and served to cement more strongly than
ever the ties of love and interest which
bind pastor and people together. The
church Is thoroughly united and excellent
work is being done in all departments.

New HAVEN, Conn, Oct 16.-An
official statement is made public today
by s. B. Thorne, captain of the Yale
football team, regarding the negotia.
tons which have been in progress for a
game of football with the Harvard team.
The statement recites the facts of the
controversy between the two teams
with which The public is already
familiar, and relates that at a conference
between representatives aud friends of
the two universities held last month a
plan was agreed upon to bring about a
battle, in which it would not appear that
either team had hum bled itself Suisse
quently the Harvard men reported that
to give the plan effect it would be ueces-
sary to take the Harvard athletic com
mlttee into the negotiations. This was
done and according to the statement
of Captain Thorne, the plan of a Yale
Harvard football game was vetoed by the
chairman of the Harvard athletic COM
mittee in a letter saying that ne resented
any Interference by Harvard graduates
and that any arrangement for game
thus made would not be ratified. There
the negotiations stopped.
Captain ThOrne's statement concludes:
sit is fair to say that the Harvard alum
nj interested in athletics have acted in a
thoroughly handsome and coneiliatory
spirit and that so far as they are con
cerned, or as the terms are concerned,
there was no reason why game should
not have been arranged"

SHOT OFF THEIR TAILS.

Judge Norton of Lawrence Tells a Rsmar-

Judge Norton of Lawrence is an en-
thusiastic squirrel hunter, and he tells
some remarkable stories of shooting them
on the Ohio river in the early days.
"1he only way to hunt squirrels" said
the judge. "is with the old fashioned,
long barreled rifles like we used to use
in Mason and Bracket counties. l used
10 start out in the morning with ten bull
lets and never come back with lass than
nine squirrels. We took a piece of
creased patching and rammed it down
with bullet. and never brought back
less than nine, you understand aud near
ly always ten. One day 1 brought back
eleven; two squirrels were fighting over
hickorynut, and they both tumbled.
Yes. sir. it was so tame shooting ten
squirrels that l got to shooting off their
tails, and would bring in ten tails for
my bullets, until finally there was new
species of bunty tailed squirrels in that
country"

ATcH1soN Oct. 16. = The Atchison
Gas Electric Light & Power company
is about to add a new feature to its
business, that of supplying business
houses and residences with steam for
heating purposes. At meeting of the
city council, James NJ Chisham asked
for the right to erect steam heating
plant, and for a franchise giving it the
right to the streets and alleys for the
laying of its pipes.
The matter was referred to a commit
tee. Mr.. Chishsm is superintendent of
the Atchison gas. electric light and
power company, and while the franchise
Is asked for in his name, it is well IN
derstood that the company is behind the
enterprise. 1t will require the extensive
laying of pipes, and Chisham agrees
to use alleys wherever they are practi-
Cal
He agrees to have fifteen hundred feet
of pipe laid within eighteen months.
Nothing is TO be done in the way of fur

the work Of laying pipe will be com
menced next summer if the franchise is
granted.
