regularly collected salaries for
six or eight assistants whom
he has never had, getting

The Springfield Republican has been
finding dog day amusement in the adj
vocacy of Secretary Richard Olney as
a presidential candidate. Mr.. Olney
has certainly proved himself man of
intellectual quality, but there are
reasons in connection with the anti
trust law and its prosecutions or lack
of prosecutions, why he won't quite
answer to lead the Democratic party.
Perhaps, and probably he has been too
much blamed in this matter. for he
was handicapped with law that was
a humbug and an Intentional humbug:
but he did not show quite the right
spirit in the matter. If the nomina-
ton comes to New England, VIM. E.
Russell is by all odds the man for it.

there is very little chance that the

WILD WEST SHOW.
1t VIII be Seen in Portland This Afternoon
and Evening.

This afternoon and evening the great
Buffalo Bill and his Wild West Show will
be seen on the Deering grounds. In Ban
gor special trains brought thousands of
people, and when the cavalcade started
at 10 a. m. the main streets were packed
sold with humanity.
Buffalo Bill led the parade. He was
seated in victoria drawn by two fine
looking Arabian horses that are the
pride of the owner and we'll they may
be, for two finer looking steeds never
wore shoes.
Next came the band, and then a squad
of Ogallalla Indians, brilliantly painted.
The next detachment was group of
sixteen of the Guarde Cuirassiers of the
present German Emperor, His Imperial
Majesty Kaiser Wilhelm IL They are

with bullion and embroidery. Sioux, Co.
manche, Arapahoe and Pawnee Indians
followed in squads and detachments, each
carrying fluttering flag at his saddle,
with head dress of savagery.
The original Deadwood stage coach fol-
lowed, and was seen with interest.
The U. S. Cavalry made a fine appear
ance, and the parade closed with a big
squad of the Fifth Royal Irish Lancers of
Great Britain, crack regiment, whose
career has been part of the happy tale
of England's supremacy in India and the
Soudan.
The performance, the Bangor papers
describe as immense. The splendid
horsemanship of Cody and of the Next
ans, Arabs and Cossacks; Annie Oakley's
wonderful craftsmanship; the riding of
the bronchos and mustangs by the cow
boys, going at full speed and picking up
articles from the ground without effort;
the Indian attack on the old Deadwood
coach; and the remarkable performances
of the mustang Jubilee.
The parade will take place at 9 O'Clock
today and proceed over the usual route

ADownpour of Caterpiliars

One of the large elm trees on Deering
street is infested with myriads of small
and Every handsome caterpillars. They
have various black and yellow spots and
long fine hairs and sort of black, thick
plume that stands up straight and sug-
gests the adornment that recently pre-
vailed on ladies' bonnets. These cater
pillars have a way of letting themselves
down from the big elm on an invisible
obweb thread. Yesterday the front steps
and wall of house Immediately under
the branches were almost swarming with
these caterpillars. On looking up one
could count dozens of them coming
slowly down on their invisible supports,
They have apparently eaten the foliage
some, but not much.

and ran around in lively manner. He
was captured without biting anybody and

THE BAwNMORE's HEROINE.

How the Plucky wife Of the Captain
stood by the sinking ship.
The captain and officers of the
wrecked steamer Bawnmore have at
last landed in San Francisco.
When line and chair were rugged
to carry the passengers and crew
ashore on the day of the wreck
Mrs. Woodside refused to leave the
ship.
You are not going" she said tc
her husband, land / will stay as
long as you do"
The men tried to persuade the
plucky little woman to leave the
wreck, but she would not hear Of it.
At the time the Bawnmore was list
ed far over to windward, with hei
keel lunging deeper and deeper in.
to the sand with every sea. The
breakers were rolling completely
over the vessel, so that there was
not dry spot upon her. Never.
theless Mrs. Woodside remained
until the captain was ready to go.
The steamers officers say Mrs.
Woodside was just as brave and
just as seli-sacrafcing during the
time of hardship OH the shore.
