TOWN TEAMS.
Since time immemorial Buxton has
taken it upon her shoulders to compete in
exhibition of oxen with WATERFORD,
Dayton, Hollis Saco and Scarboro. The
oxen of Buxton are hitched in one string,
and those of the other towns in another
string. This year Buxton had six yoke
and the other towns had eight. There
is prize of SIS for the string that makes
the best showing. This year the combined
towns won the SIS, for the first time in
many years. Buxton has always won, be-
cause of A. R. P. Lords big string OF
sixteen oxen and Charles McKenney' S
string of many more. He has had as
many as twenty -four. But this veal

. The Glib oolys.


When the German boys, as the three
brothers, John, James and George are
known in the theatrical profession were
at the head Of a minstrel organization
their coming was always eagerly awaited
by theatre goers. When the brothers de-
cided to change the style of their attrac-
ton and enter into farce comedy where
they would have more opportunity for
individual work, many croakers predict
ed failure for them. The great success
achieved by them last season in The Gil
hoolys Abroad, however, most efectually
silenced these croakers and made them
even stronger favorites with theatre
goers. This season the piece has been
re written, new specialties and new
people added, so that today it is one of
the best farce comedies ever on the road

BEFORE JUDGE BONNEY.
The September criminal term was

Rev. DR.. Burrage. A new grand jury
was empanelled made up as follows:
Richard H. Ball, foreman, Portland.
John w. Batty, Casco
Melville G. Burnell, Gorham.
John w. Chandler, Ponal.
Franklin Cleaves, North Yarmouth.

There is quite a large amount OF bust
ness to come before the grand jury, but
no case that of itself excites much
interest.
It is doubtful if the Lewis case will be
tried before the january term, as the
counsel upon both sides do not care to
try it at the present term and Lewis has

inside the gate, there is team or two In
sight, and perhaps score of people In
the little exhibition hall there are three
oil paintings and some evergreen and
flags, and that is all. Over there, across
the smooth sward there are some men
and horses about the stables, and there
are several score of cattle in the open
pens.
Over on the other side, back of the
grand stand is a tent or two and some
rows of bottled soda are appearing on the
board stands in front. Such was the
opening of the Buxton and Hollis fair.
At a. m. yesterday, President Smith
said that it was bad year for fairs. He
hadn't heard Of any that had made any
money. There are too many of them.
That York county fair down at Saco was
only six miles away, the Old Orchard
race track was only twelve miles distant
and then there was the Gorham fair only
eight miles III another direction. Besides
they had to bring that New England fair
to Maine this year and amongst the
whole of them of course there isn't so
very much left for Buxton and Hollis
But he expected that they'd hold their
own, as they always had. This is their
twentieth annual fair, and it isn't their
last by any manner of means.
By eleven O'Clock the fair grounds wore
a very different aspect from that OF two
hours before. People and cattle were
coming in goodly numbers Along about
ten pollock
A CURIOUS RIG DROVE
in to the gate. 1t was double team
consisting of lean old horse and a
plump young bull, black in color, hitched
up together to an ordinary buggy, and
driven by bright looking young man.
The latter's name is George Bruce and he
came from South Hollis The bull ISM
quite three years old He began to train
it whe it was but a few months old,
and by the time it was yearling it
could be driven with. a bit and reins, and
was used for hauling loads Last winter
in company with horse this clever bull
was used for hauling logs.
After Mr.. Bruce had impaired this in
formation, which bystander who lived
in the same place confirmed, he clucked
to his strange team. 1t was noticeable
that the little bull started forward before
the horse did He was mild hammered
little bull with a calm eye and gentle
face But he could be very lively. He
could throw man from his back like a
bucking broncho and after two agile boys
had tried TO stay on him, in the after
noon, and were sent spra wiling, nobody
else yentured to try it. Hitched to gig
he trotted about at a swinging jog and
was altogether most fascinating
creature.
A great transformation has taken place
in the hall during those two hours. 1t
was pretty in the first place, if empty,
because it had been decorated by Mr.
Frank Coffin of Portland, the florist who
is visiting his uncle, Mr.. Richard Grant
of North Saco. Mr.. Coffin secured plenty
of evergreen and golden rod. and there
with made the bare walls and studding
to blossom as prettily as the forest itself

Fire in the Portland stoneware's Coal.

Fire in the Portland Stoneware's Coal.
The Portland Stoneware company in
Deering have about 5000 tons of coal on
hand. A few days ago smoke as seen to
issue from the coal and it became evident
that there was fire in the pile, caused by
spontaneous combustion. About thirty
men have been hard at work shovelling
over the coal and have already got over
1000 tons off the pile. It wouldn't do to
turn the water from steam fire engines
on the pile, but when a thread of blue
smoke is reached the water is applied by
hand. The loss will probably be very
small, and will be fully covered, as there
is an insurance of S15, 900.

under consideration by Archbishop Sa-
tolli A second protest has been received
in Washington, this time coming from a

Rev. Father Zurcher is president. Mgr.
satolli has sent a letter to the Benedic-
tines referring to the complaints. They
have forwarded a response. saying that
there were no scandals connected with the
sale Of 3beer, which, they. stated was dond
merely to cover the cost Of manufacture
for their own consumption and the ex-
Jpense of the internal revenue tax. The
total amount manufactured, il was stated,
was in the neighb orl1ood OF four barrels
a. week, which they regarded as an insig-
.nifcant output. The Benedictines an
.nounce their readiness to see what can

GREATER THAN GOD.
Such Is What Some UnbeIievess Think
Themselves to Be.

Perhaps the most aggressive fraud
that infests the earth is the professional
atheist-the man whose chief mental
stock in trade consists Of doubt and de-
NAL of revealed religion, so-called says
Brann's Iconoclast. About the time a
youngster first feels an irresistible I'M
pulse to make fool of himself every
time a. female smiles upon him: when be
reaches that critical stage in life's jour
ney when he inagines he knows more
than his father, he begins to doubt the
religion of his mother: shrewdly asks
his Sunday school teacher VINO made
God; demonstrates, by the aid CT natural
history diagrams, that large whale
could in noWise swallow small proph-
et-that il it did succeed in RELOCATING
it to it's internal economy, it were i'm
possible for him to slosh around in the
gastric Juices for three days and nights
without becoming much the worse for
wear. He undertakes to rip religion
up by the roots and reform the world
while you wait, but soon learns that he's
got q government contract on his hands;
that the man who can drive the Deity
out of the hearts and homes of this land
can make fortune turning artesian
wells inside out and selling 'em for tel
egraph poles. An atheist once solemn
ly assured me that he couldn't possibly
believe anything he couldn't prove; but
when 1 asked him what led him to take
such a lively interest in the welfare Of
his wife's children he became almost
as angry as q Calyinist whose Confess
sion of Faith had been called in ques-
ltion. Figure UP how many things YOU
can prove of those you believe, and
you'll find that you've got to do a credit
business or go into intellectual bank
ruptcy.
But the man who denies the exist
ence of the Deity because he cannot
comprehend His origin is even a less
hrlnbug than the one who knows all
about Him; who devotes his life to the
defense of some poor little guess-work
Interpretation Of the mysterious plans
of Him who brings forth Mazzaroth in
his season and guides Arcturus and his
sons.
