The Electric Road.

The Augusta, Gardiner & Hallowell
Electric Road has just received a lot of
the latest improved motors and control
lers which will take the place OF the old
ones now on some of the cars. These
new motors will be a special advantage
to the road as by their introduction the
speed will probably be slightly Increased; ;
tho controlling apparatus too will DO OF
much value in the running of the cars.
This electric road which is an indis-
pensable convenience to the people OF the
three cities, is one of the best in Maine,
and In fact 1t ought to be, for among its
management are men who own and con-
troll several of the electric roads OF the
State, besides in the capacity Of super1n-
tendent, is Mr.. W. G. MelooD. practical
electrician who has an extensive knowl-
edge of electrical apparatus and seems to
thoroughly understand the running OF
such line Of railway. 4,
In the employ of the road are 40 men,
nuiuo VI WuOIIl dfo iiOu -
gagged, but the majority have been with
the road nearly from the start SO have be-
come familiar with it's workings and
labor for the mutual interests OF the
company. In few words the road pro-
vides splendid service.
The track now is undergoing repairs, such
as grading, bonding ETC.. especially on the
Gardiner end of the route. State street
will also be attended to and necessary re-
pairs made. The track near the Edwards
mill is being repaired, and improvements
made all along the line, as the manage
ment believes that it is practicing economy
to have all the equipments in. the best OF
condition.
During he season thus far the road has
made special effort to provide speclai
cars for the events occurring in the
three cities, and during each furnished
convenient travel fer the people attending
such attractions as the fairs. base ball
games, carnivals. and other events.
Special cars will be furnished for the &C
oommodation of those wishing to attend
the Togus Memorial day exercises, Mon

AN EMERGENCY DRAWER.
A Useful Thing That Should Have a Place
In Every Household.

Eevery household should have fixed
place devoted to simple remedies for the
trivial accidents which often become such
serious affairs through neglect Burns.
soalas, cuts and bruises are of early daily
occurrence, and their frequency as well as
painfulness demands a little forethought
toward their alienation.
The emergency drawer is designed to
fill this need. 1t should be stout and
steady. with no tendency to stick fast
when least expected, and we'll out of the
reach of little prying fingers. 1t should
also be located somewhere in the kitchen,
as oftentimes q wound is neglected rather
than run upstairs for assistance.
The remedy always ON hand should be
carron oil equal parts of lime water and
linseed DILL, common baking soda, arnica,
a salve, anti-septic gauze. together with
absorbent cotton, old linen, cheese cloth
bapdages aud pair of scissors. Carron
oil is a sovereign remedy for burns and
scalds, and should always be on hand !:
baking soda Is another very good remedy
and in burns from hot lard will often
give relief much sooner than the oil. It
Is used either dry, or made into strong
solution with water.
Anti-septic gauze is useful in case of
cuts. After washing thoroughly to re-
move any foreign substance, draw the
edges firmly together and cover neatly
with the gauze. Salve is for slight burns,
etc., and serves merely to exclude the air
from the tender surface.
Absorbent cotton can be used for burns
and scalds serious enough to need bandag-
ing, and should be kept in place by cheese
cloth bandages. These can be purchased by
the roll, but are easily made. A couple of
yards of cheesecloth are torn into two
inch lengthwise strips, and rolled up
When needed, cut off the desired length
and slit one edge up to within about six
inches of tM other end. This is the physi-
clans method of bandaging, and not only
has the advantage of not slipping readily,
but does away with the unsightly cords
most women tie over bandage.
Other simple remedies may also go in
the drawer. Paregoric and peppermint
for stomach ache, q never ending complaint
among the smaller fry. Jamaica ginger
for cramps, hartshorn liniment for sprains,
etc. 1t can be duplicated with good effect
in the nursery, and may have added Group
medicine from reliable doctor, flannel
bands, hot water bottle, small syringe
and CASTLE soap, good sweet oil for physic,
bottle of soda mint and small collection
Of the teas which old-fashioned nurses
cling to. The small expenditure of time
and money necessary to equip thest
emergency drawers will be repaid q
hundred fold in many cases where time Is
valuable factor in cures.

Today's Game.

The game, today, at the Gardiner ground
between the Remedies and champion
Fall River club will doubtless draw a
large crowd. The champions have been
roughly handled in Maine thus far, hay
ing lost one of the two game at Portland
and both games played at Lewiston. Lin.
coin will doubtless pitch, and a hustling
contest is assured, as the Remedies, who
have lost eight successive games, are about
due, and Monday has heretofore been their
lucky day. 1t is hoped that Doran, the
new pitcher with whom Manager Burnham
has been dealing, will arrive in time to
take part in the contest. Connolly, the
star umpire of the New England League,
is expected to ofliciate and the cranks will
undoubtedly welcome his work and heave
a sigh of relief at the departure of Lezotte
and Miller.
Fall River will play at Augusta driving
park. on Tuesday.

A Victim of the Campbell"

Many of our citizens will remember
Charlie Jevenard, the pleasant young
fellow who fired on an engine in the
Tower yard last summer, and who on
several occasions played ball with the
Tower boys and once with our boys on
the home grounds. His untimely
demise is announced from Duluth
where he had shipped on the tug
Campbell as fireman, the tug going
down with all on board two weeks
ago. Charlie was bright young man
who made many friends wherever he
went by his manly bearing and
pleasant manner. He was a base
ballist of no mean ability and in
other sports he was equally accom-
plished. He held a medal for the
championship long jump on skates of
northern Wisconsin and Minnesota.
He leaves a mother and sister in Dull
nth both of whom are at present i'll
in bed with typhoid fever. His many
friends on the Vermilion extend SYM
pathy to the bereaved relatives.

May 1t Rest In Peace.

The Taxpayers league, of Duluth,
from all appearances has gone to a
well-earned repOse, at least that is
the inference, as nothing has been
heard or seen Of them for many day,
with the exception Of q few suits it
will necessarily defend in the courts,
brought by laborerS on the county s
highways who were grossly slandered
and maligned by this much needed ~
institution of reform and political
aspirations. Before the league had
ever given out to the world their
intentions, they made a grand stand
play by holding up the bills OF the
men working on the county roads
throughout the county, some of which
had not had q cent for several months
before the holdup, and thus cutting
off their only source of revenue for
several more.
The next play was to send the
secretary of the league, q Mr.. Joerns
I'D into these parts of road frauds and
Law breakers to investigate the work
done. Nov, Joerns admitted he
knew nothing of road work, but he
came and Investigated. He went
over the ground with an expert. The
expert pronounced the work well
done. and thus far Mr.. Joerns could
find nothing to kick about. lie
sought out every man who had work
ed on the road and rigidly cross
examined them as to whether they
worked or laid in camp, regards to
cooking. and whether the foremen
hustled the men or not. a lot OF
.,ther questions were asked, principal.

AT the Methodist church Santa
Claus was also present, the distribu-

Tony Smale played Santa Claus to the

The Christmas Trees.

Last evening at the Presbyterian
church, Santa Claus held forth in all
his glory and the mammoth Christ
mas tree fairly groaned under the
load of good things placed thereon for
the members of the Sunday school.
At seven o'clock the church was
packed with eager little ones and
their parents. A short program of
songs and recitations was gone
through with, when Santa Claus
made his appearance; coming through
the window, to the amusement of the
little folk. Judge Aubolee acted the
part of Santa and did it well.
The distributing of the large num-
Der of presents was no easy task.
Each member of the Sunday school
received a book or booklet and box
of candy. SO books and 30 booklets
were distributed besides LAG boxes of
candy. Those who had attended
Sunday school for twenty Sundays or
over during the year received a book
and those whose attendance numbered
ten Sundays or oyerreceived a booklet
or card. -Four special prizes for regu-
lar Attendance were given. Misses
Helen and Maggie Hood each received
handsomely bound book and Misses
May Brown and Velmer Camish were
made glad with china cup and
saucer in a case as a reward for theil
attence of u Sundays. Miss Minnie

Enjoyed by All.

The cantata, "Birth of Christ, .
rendered by Mrs. NJ. o. Aubolee and
class at the Opera house Saturday
evening drew full house. The var
ious parts were well taken and the
chorus work was good. The tableaus
were beautiful and much enjoyed.
The getting up of the cantata re-
quired much hard work on the part
of Mrs. AubOlee and much credit is
due her for its successful termination.
The little folks taking part, had their
lines learned to perfection. We cam
not give a detailed account of the
cantata owing to limited time but
will suffice it by saying the audience
was we'll pleased.
Mrs. Aubolee desires to tender
thanks to those members of the Finn
band who so kindly furnished the
music and also to the audience who
showed their appreciation by keeping
quiet and attentive throughout the
evening although they were kept
waiting long between some of the
parts. This could not be helped how
ever as the hindrance had owing to
disappointments through sickness
made it necessary to supply new char
acters almost at the last moment.
The gross receipts Of the evening
were $3.50 out of which was paid
$23.41, expenses for music, costumes,
ETC., S1.25 for electric lights duriug
practice and S11.66 to the Finn society
towards the piano, leaving net bal
ance of $23.3S.

Grand Opening.

What promises to be a social event
will be the grand opening of the
Oliver Hotel on Friday evening, Jan.
3. Landlord Lawrence is making
elaborate preparations. a grand bali
will take place at the Turf hall with
a banquet at the hotel. Good music
has been secured for the occasion.
The hotel has been newly refitted
and renovated throughout and now
ranks with the best this side of Dull
nth. The kitchen is in charge of a
chef of note. Mr.. Lawrence will per-
sonally superintend the house in which
position he will be ably assisted by
his wife.
No doubt the grand opening will be
a success as Mr.. Lawrence has hosts
of friends who will gladly show their
appreciation of past friendship. A
large delegation of Tower and Two
Harbors people have signified theiF
willingness to be present.

Theodore Lucas Dead.

Theodore Lucas, whom everyone
knows, he having been a resident OF
this city since its infancy, died this
morning at about II o'clock at the
Shipman hospital of pneumonia
coupled with a combination of other
internal troubles, after an illness of
only about week.
Theodore had been at work in the
camp of James Housley, about four
miles west eff here and had complained
of not feeling we'll for about week.
Saturday morning he came to the city
and Immediately went to the hospital
He gradually grew worse up to today
when he succumbed.
Lucas was a character in his way,
open, honest and trusting to fault.
His pleasures in life had been few,
nothing but hard work seemed to be
his aim. A more faithful worker
never was found, which fact charac-
terized deceased in case Of fire, he
having been an active and prominent
member of the Ely Fire department.
In Lucas the city loses prominent
citizen and the fire department tire
less worker.
Theodore Lucas was born in Illi-
nois in 1852 and was 43 years of age.
He was one of a family Of fifteen
children, eight boys and seven girls.
His father died several years ago but
his aged mother survives him, resid-
ing at Estherville, Iowa. Besides his
mother he leaves twelve brothers and
sisters to mourn his demise. A young
er brother, Silas, was at his bedside
at death.
The remains will be shipped to
Estherville for interment and will be
escorted to the train by the Ely Fire
department.
The cheerful voice of Lucas will be
heard no more on this earth. May he
rest in Deaee
