the Maine Central staff, and Miss
Gertrude L. Kilborn, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs W. T. Kilborn were married at
the residence of the BRIDES parents on
Brackett street. The.party invited, con-
sisted of the relatives and intimate
friends of the bride and groom. The
house was very prettily decorated for the
occasion. The bride was gowned in full
wedding costume with veil, and the
groom was in morning dress. AS they
took their stand in the middle of the
drawing room they were preceded by
Master Karl Bray Kilborn and little Miss
Mary Cha1nplin scattering flowers. Rev.
DR.. Blanchard performed the ceremony
in his usual impressive manner. There
were many beautiful and expensive gifts,
for Mr.. Coe is a favorite among the
young men, and the bride has a large
circle of friends. A delicious wedding
breakfast was served by Robinson. Mr..
and Mrs. Coe left on the 8. 80 p. m. train
for the Adirondacks and were nearly
covered with rice showered on them by
their friends, who escorted them to the
railway station. When they return they
will live at No. 1875 Emery street.

GREAT EXCURSION.
The International Ticket Association Will
be Here Saturday.

Starting today the International Ticket
Association, composed of the ticket
agents of the great railroad and steam
boat lines not only in the United States,
but representing those in the Dominion
of Canada and other foreign countries,
will leave Lake George and Saratoga for
Boston, where the annual meeting OF the
association will be held. From latest ad-
vices received the party, with ladies,
numbers over nine hundred.
BY invitation of the Boston & Maine ana
Maine Central roads the party will come
to Portland next Saturday, arriving at IL
a. M, and the Portland Steam Packet 20.
on their arrival will take them, either in
the Portland or Bay State, for trip
down the harbor, leaving State st. wharf.
Upon the return to the city the party
will leave here at 1.30 p. M, and take a
train for Bar Harbor over the upper
route. Sunday will be passed at that de-
lightful summer resort, the Maine Cen
trail having engaged the West End hotel
for their accommodation.

lower route, via Augusta and Brunswick,
and will leave Portland for Fabyans.
Tuesday the party will go to the Profile
House, and return to Boston Wednesday

1t would seem eminently proper that
some recognition of the presence of these
gentlemen and their friends should be
made by the Board of Trade, either in the
shape of the appointment of a committee
to welcome them to the city. Or in any
other form that may seem most .advisa-
BILE.

LOBSTER BARRELS.
An Important Item to tho DeaIers-A
Least $4,000 Wortha Year in Portland.

There is always something unusual
about Holsters and the lobster business.
At the smallest figure there is an average
of $50 barrels of Holsters shipped from
Portland every day. These are sugar
barrels mostly, and will average in cost
during the year, at least twenty cents q
piece Therefore the lobster dealers OF
Portland pay annually for barrels at
least $4,000.
The peculiar thing about this is that
the dealers do not charge the cost of the
barrels in the price of the Holsters. In the
beginning of the lobster business, dealers
made mistake by providing the
packages themselves Now they can t
make the consumer pay for the barrels
unless they should all get together and
agree to do so, thus materially increasing
the price Of Holsters. The fresh fish
dealers do not have to pay for the boxes
in which they pack their fish. They
charge fifty cents each for those big
boxes. ag

DIPHTHERIA.
Chestnut Street kindergarten Ordered
Closed,

Yesterday morning by advice OF tne
Board of Heath, the supervisor OF the
Chestnut street school closed the kinder
garten for two weeks, by reason OF case
of diphtheria which developed there Mon
day. The little daughter of W. 6. Clark,
living at AZ Stone street. came to the
kindergarten Monday and did not feel
we'll during the forenoon She mingled
with the other children, however, and'
went home at noon. In the afternoon the
child was SO ill that DR., King was called
and he at once decided that she had
diphtheria. Yesterday morning DIR. King
was not in town, and at the request OF
the school authorities Dr.. Cummings,
of the Board of Health, visited the SICK
child and reported it to be q case OF dlph-
iberia, beyond a doubt
Z, 1t was then decided to send home the
other children in the kindergarten room,
for two weeks. DR.. Cummings fears
that some one or two of them have
caught the disease and there Is conse-
quent danger of the. disease spreading.
Parents of these children should watch
them carefully and at the first sign OF
illness should call a physician. 1t is
hoped that there will be no more cases.
The school house was thoroughly fumi-
gated yesterday afternoon by the Board
of Health

CHAMPION TUB NAVIGATOR.
Frates Successfully Voyages to Long
Island.

A Cruise that Is Said to Break the Record
The Journey Made in About Seven
Hours-Story of the Trip.
Yesterday Mr.. Gus Frates performed
Custom House wharf to.the vicinity of
Ponce's landing Long Island, in tub.
The distance is over six. miles, and Mr..
Frates claims that his success entities
him to the distinction of being the
champion tub navigator of the world.
1t is no small feat to cruise to Long Is
land in tub, when the waves and tide
act as they did Tuesday. 1t was 10
o'clock in the forenoon when MIR. Frates
started from Custom House wharf His
tub was just large enough to enable him
to curl his legs up in it, and sit on
a small cushion of shayings. In order
to prevent capsizing it was necessary for
the navigator to sit nearly rigid. When
sculling he could not look over his
shoulder to see where he was going for
fear of tipping over So he carried small
mirror, which enabled him to see the
route ahead without turning He also
carried small sail about yard square.
This he used portion of the time,
but his mainIreliance was .on the small
oar with which he sculled.
No boat went with him, and ther e
seems to have been considerable peril in
the trip although Frates is very con-
fldent that he will never! get lost in a
tub.
1t was This intention to proceed directly
down the roads but the tide was too
strong, ands he found himself forced to
take the route on the inside of Diamond
islands. This heightened the journey,
but gave easier Tubing. Along the back
side of Great Diamond his sail was of
considerable service.
He passed out between Great Diamond
and Cow islands, and struck boldly
across Hussey's sound Here the swell
was quite heavy, and Frates thought he
would capsize once or twice. He shipped
some water, but finally arrived at the
long wished for Long Island strand.
His friends, Edward Creary and Charles
j. Dawson were there to greet him.
Frates was so cramped that Creary had to
lift him out of the tub and then both
rubbed his legs until circulation was re-
stored. It was five minutes past five
o'clock when Frates arrived at Long
Island. He had been in the tub about
seven hours.
Frates thinks this is the longest jour-
ney ever made in tub, and claims the
title of champion tub navigator. 1t IS
probably due to him without doubt.
