original idea OF Col. Conn, the proprietor
of The Times, was carried out in an
Illustrated edition of twenty-four pages
devoted to the historical and contemporary
treatment of the school system of the
District of Columbia, which The Times
claims is the most perfect in the world.

AWNINGS FOR DRIVERS.

Complaints, plentiful and emphatic, are
coming to The Times concerning the failure
Of some OF the street railway companies to
provide their cars with awnings for the
protection of drivers, gripmeu, and con-
ductnrs against sun and rain. They are
scorched, blinded, or soaked, according TO
the state uf the weather, and dare not make
complaint for fear of losing their places.
People who have occasion TO use these cars,
or live along the lines of the roads, are the
chief compIainauts.
1t is not a new story by any means-and
mure's the pity-this disregard on the part
of street railway companies Of the common
dictates of humanity, for to guard person
against the burning rays of the sun does
not come under the head even of ordinary
comfort. At recurring intervals these same
complaints have been heard. and sooner or
later the companies shamed into compliance
by the force of public opinion, have Grudg-
ingly provided the inexpensive but effective
shields

Notes of the Game.

The New Bedfords will play here again
today Fred Doe displayed great deal
| of Indignation at the result of Satur-
days game, claiming, of course, that it
was too dark to continue, and should
have been stopped. The fact is that Doe
began his dirty tactics at just tw enty
minutes past five, when there was ample
light and the reason then was not and
couldn't be due to lack of sufficient light,
but because Portland had a man OH sec
ond with no one out and Doe perceived
| that the jig was up for his team and that
the Portlands were bound to get some
runs. just as soon as Shaffer got on
second, Dee came walking in across the
diamond and made a kick. He began there
and then his efforts to delay that inning
till darkness should stop the game He
was ably seconded by the others He
told Manager Leonard Saturday evening
that there was tie game between New
Bedford and Portland, to be played off,
and that he wanted to play it Monday
together with the regular game He
declared that he could win both of them,
and defed Manager Leonard to play
them both. The latter agreed to play
both games this afternoon, the first
one to begin at o'clock. Killeen will
pitch, and Sullivan will be ready to
pitch the second game if it is deemed
necessary that he should. 1t can readily
be seen that the fur is going to fly this
afternoon. But Doe had better under
stand that any more of that dirty bust
ness of Saturday will not be tolerated.
A Portland man of long experience as
base ball player, and who has seen GER
tainly as many games in this city as any
one else, says that he never saw here any
thing SO bad in the way of dirty ball
playing as that of Sa turday.
A New Bedford man was recently in
Portland, and made the statement here
that nothing pleased him any more than
to have the New Bedford team beaten.
He declared that the better element of
the baseball enthusiasts in New Bedford
are disguised with Doe and his men.
That was a great feat of Sullivan's s,
Saturday, when in the fifth inning he
struck the side out with just eleven
pitched balls. The victims were De-
laney, Sharpe and Doe.
At the baby show Saturday, to call it
no worse name, Doe took the first prize,
Nyce the second and Weihl the third, and
Infant Sharpe was working hard for
fourth place with Friend, when Umpire
Cray called the game.
Shaffer's beautiful catch in the third
inning aroused great enthusiasm. 1t was
over near the fence and he just reached it
with his right hand.

last night from Boston. Since their ar

the masthead had considerable shaved

are being fitted on the masthead and the
new spar will be in readiness to step on

POSSESSION OF CEDAR ISLAND.
In dications That Big Legal Battle Will
Be Fought Ov er IL.

Portsmouth, N. H., August 25.-There
is every indication that a big legal battle
is on for the possession of Cedar island,
one of the Shoals group, the ownership
of which is disputed Yesterday Deputy
Sheriff Coils of this city attempted to
serve summons upon Clarence Caswell
Of Cedar island citing him to appear
before Judge Adams at Star Island, Sep
TENDER 8, to show cause why he should
not be elected.
The suit is the resultof a long quarrel
between Lemuel Caswell, who claims to
own Cedar island, and his nephew, Clar-
ence, whom the former alleges is trespas-
sing upon his property. and illegally
maintaining possession by force
On the oJher hand, Mr.. Clarence Cas-
well maintains that he is tenant OF the
Messrs. Laighton, who own all the is
and have deeds of Cedar, both from Haley,
an original owner, and from the State
of Maine, and that Lemuel is the tres
passer and not himself. Aside from the
question of the ownership of the island,
which undoubtedly will now be. fully es-
tablished by the courts, is that OF the To-
cation of Cedar island, whether in Maine

both.
The Messrs. Laighton, who are sup
posed to be better acquainted with the
subject than are others, aud who are cor-
sidefed authority on the question. say
that the island is wholly within the 1uris-
diction of the State of Maine and that
the line follows the centre of the channel
between Star and Cedar, leaving the
former in New Hampshire, and the lat
ter in Maine. 1t may be said here that
the United States government charts
place Cedar in Maine.
Caswell and his attorneys say that the
line runs by point. Of compass from the
centre of the channel at the mouth OF
Portsmouth harbor, and diagonally di-
vides Cedar island, placing the suthern
portion, on which is the house in which
Clarence Caswell lives, in New Hamp-
shire, and that the State of Maine could
not convey what it did not own, either
to the Messrs. Laighton or any one else.
On just what grounds Mr.. Lemuel Cas-
we'll claims ownership. other than squat
ter rights or adverse lpossession, is not
clear, but he is said to DO backed up in
his present law fight by Moses Stevens of
Newburyport, a gentleman Of some
means, who claims financial interest in
the island
