I'm Philadelphia the first bicycle
luncheon was given several weeks
ago and now they are the rage.
The first one was the conception of .
Broad street girl. She had learned to
ride recently, and when her papa had
just purchased handsome wheel for
her she was very proud of it and she
accordingly invited several of her
friends to lunch with her and see the
bike" The table was spread with
triangular napkins, which made its
round top appear like bicycle wheel.
The center piece was bicycle model
supporting some flowers. There were
other evidences of the presence Of q
bicycle girl about the house.

The old game of battledore and
shuttlecocls, which is still sold by toy
dealers, but seldom played, is being re-
vived as an exercise in physical Gull
ture. To be of benefit it must. how
ever. be played somewhat differently
to former methods. The girl should
throw the knee we'll forward and hold
the bat high above her head, with the
arm in a straight line up from the
shoulder. If the ball be tossed in this
way, the right muscles are brought in
to play.

Papa, can not keep the wolf from

is nothing seductive in her physical

The Englishwoman whom you en-

Not few people in Maine make at
least living by gold mining. Gold is
found in many parts of the state, but
in small quantities or under such cir
cumstances as make systematic mining
improbable. A 'miner" living near
Byron brought into Lewiston few
days ago nugget of gold weighing
over an ounce. He makes two to three
dollars day gold mining.

for the land and food for the sale crops.
But it must not be assumed that these
crops will bring all the elements of
fertility to q soil that has been ex-
hausted by long tillage and exposure
to the teaching effects of rain and sun.
If you want the best results from the
action of leguminous crops, you must
feed them. They will gather nitro
gen for you free. but they can not get
the potash and phosphoric acid that
the crops of former years have taken
from the soil, and without these are
given them they can not get the nitro
gen they would with well-developed
growth, and you will not only lose the
hay crop they would give but
the effect on the soil for subse-
quent crops. Nothing from nothing
and nothing remains. 1t will pay far
better to put a liberal dressing of the
cheap mineral fertilizers on the pea
and clover crops than to put the same
money value in high-grade fertilizer
on the cotton crop direct, and not only
pay better in the cotton crop, but in
the permanent improvement of the soil.
Having these two crops then as sheet
anchors in our efforts to grow cotton
cheaply, we will take up in our next

It will be remembered that Governor
Morrill,, with a brass band flourish,
some time ago ordered Attorney Gen
ersl Dawes to commence an action
against Bank Commissioner Breiden-
thai for not turning collections into
the treasury the first of each month.
The public saw through the scheme
and gave the administration the horse
laugh. Dawes, however, announced
with great regularity to the newspapers
that he was going to bring the suit,
but he didn't. One day last week the
Governor sent for Dawes and told him
that the matter would better be
dropped. Dawes thought so, too.
Thus the ''grest sensation" fizzled.

the prohibitory law. The entire CO.
terie of redemption brethren, from the
Governor to the young man who
sweeps the back steps of the Capitol,
seem to feel that their political lives
are endangered every time the ques-
tion of prohibition is discussed, hence
their painful anxiety for clsm-like
silence on this very interesting and
important subject. Governor Morrill,
is particularly touchy about the Condi-

A WARRANT NECESSARY.
The Supreme Court Holds That an Offcer
Must Have q Warrant to Make
an Arrest.

AR AERboJs
Joe Kellam was arrested some time
ago on charge Of selling whisky. The
officer who made the arrest did not
have a warrant, and he asked for q
writ Of hGbeGs corpus on that ground,
which the court granted, handing down
a decision from which the following
are extracts:
son August 8, 1895, Joseph S. Kel-
lam was arrested by John NJ. Wilker-
son, Chief of Police of the city Of
Topeka, upon q charge Of selling in
toxicating liquors in Topeka contrary
to the city ordinances and to the laws
of the State. No written complaint
was ever filed, nor was there any war
rant issued authorizing the arrest, but
persons whom the Chief of Police
deemed to be reliable had informed
him that Kellam was engaged in che
unlawful sale Of liquors. The Chief Of
Police had no personal knowledge that
an offense had been committed, but
upon information so received he al
legged that he had reasonsb bic suspicion
that an offense had been committed,
and therefore he arrested Kellsm and
committed him to jail. Kellam there
upon instituted this proceeding, al.
leging that an arrest without a war
rant or other process, upon the mere
suspicion Of an officer that q misde-
meanor had been committed, is illegal.

ports to give police officers power to
make arrests without warrants or other
process upon the mere suspicion that
misdemesnors have been committed.
But can such authority be constitution

cases of felony actually committed the
officer might also arrest without pro-
cess upon reasonable suspicion. The
liberty of the citizen was 80 highly re-

apology from the Bar Harbor high school
boys, recently, for the latter teams fail
ure to put i'll an appearance at the fair
grounds here, as advertised a short time
ago. 1t is hoped that a game may be ar
ranged soon.
During the vacation it is proba bic that
quite a number Of games will be played by
our team of school boys. Correspondence
has been opened with the Bucksport
seminary team. A game will probably be
had with Oldtown and a challenge has
already been received from the Bangor
high school nine, which has been ac-
cepted. The game will probably be
played next week
