open cage A sliding door in the box was
then lifted, and the cubs darted forward at
the meat that was lying in the far corner
of the cage to tempt them. Meanwhile the
box was quickly withdrawn and the barred
gate of the cage as quickly shut.
1t is easy enough, however, to transfer
an animal from a confined box to q large
cage. He is going then from captivity to
comparative liberty. 1t is not so casy-in-
deed it is very diilicult-to get him to go
through the reverse process, to walk from
a large cage into box. If there be time,
he can always be made to do it quietly
enough. Give him no food in the large
cage, but put it in the box. He may even
so, hold out for days. Hunger, however,
will prove in the end stronger than his
fears, and he will, with growl, make n
dash for the meat when the trap will be
closed against him.
But it isn't always possible to wait for
hunger to make him submit Perhaps
tho animal is wanted tomorrow and the
dealer has got the order only today and
must catch the train with him at O'Clock
in the afternoon. What is to be done
now?
Here mans superior intelligence asserts
itself. 1t is fear that prevents the animal
from entering the box, and this fear must
be overcomed by greater fear. This is
an easy matter to the animal dealer with
his knowledge of animals. He simply sets
fire to little bundle of dry straw III the
cage This is enough-the animals fear
of fire makes him fly through any outlet of
escape

MILITIA NsplcAIED.
Military Men Here Regard the Outcome Of
Bfuas Affair as Very Satisfactory.

Military men in this city regard the
outcome of the cases arising from the
affair at the Brunswick restaurant be-
tween some of the tro rps on their way
home from encampment and Proprietor
Woodbury., as a complete vindication of
the troops.

Bailey said he was going to the rescue of
Polk when Reynolds pushed him back,
and then Bailey threw the lumber at him.
Different military officers have claimed
that Bailey was in the performance of
duty in going to Polk rescue when Wood

Col. Philbrook, yesterday, expressed
himself as much gratifed with the results
and said it was complete vindicaiton of

General Choate expressed the same opinion

LAID AT REST
The Body CT Harry viIIiers Buried by the Local
0verseers Of the Poor.

There was some backing anG filling over
poor Harry Villiers' body. yesterday.
Harry, it seems, left a will, bequeathing
his only then possession, his body, to DIR.
Dwincll of Waterville.
Dr. Dwinell came on, yesterday, from
Waterville. having been informed that the
remains would be held at the Augusta
station until 10 O'Clock His train was
due at 90, but, as luck would have it, the
tender broke some rod or other, and the
train was delayed an hour at Riverside.
From there the doctor wired the Augusta
ovcrscers of the poor to wait until his ar
rival.
1t being clearly illegal to give the body
to any doctor, will or no will, the ovcrscers
had delivered it to the American Express
Co. with orders to forward il to the Maine
Medical school at Brunswick. When Dr..
Dwinell arrived, the body was on its way
TO the train. He wanted it stopped,
naturally. The Express Company's agent
iitl dutIluIlly W sup ll,No III DW llltll
was forced to see the object of his hunt
taken off before his very eyes.
There were two alternatives for DR.
Dwinell to pursue; one was to go back
home, and the other, to remain in Au.
gusta. He chose the latter.
A petition to the municipal authorities
of the city of Augusta was started, and
presented to Mayor Miliken, signed by 10
citizens of this city, requesting that the body
of Harry Nillie1s be given decent burial
The Maine law on the burial of bodies IN
claimed by kins- people is to the effect that
they shall be given to some State medical
school, unless a petition be presented to
the municipal authorities of the town in
which the person died, signed by 10 citi-
zcns of that town, requesting that the
body be buried at once, the municipal au-
thortes having the option of granting or
declining the petition.
In this case the municipal authorities
granted the petition, and the body was or
dered back from Brunswick, arriving
here about O'Clock, when it was taken
in hand by the overseers of the poor and
buried

The Greatest Game Of the Season on the Tapis
For Saturday Afternoon.

saturday afternoon, if the plans of thos e
interested do not miscarry, there will
occur In Augusta one of tho greatest
games OF base ball ever played in the Ken
nebec valley. 1t will be no less than a
Trial OF strength on the diamond between
the Iat men and the lean men of Augusta.
~ Will be struggle worth going many

speak OF the makeup of the teams, but
among those who have been mentioned in
connection with the fat mems team are
hon. j. ii. Manley, Hon. E. C. Burleigb.
Hon T. 0. Vickery, C. W. Jones, Joseph

of others.
While, of course, it is by no means GER
tain thai all of these gentlemen can be
induced to engage in this contest of the
giants, it seems fairly certain that suf
ficient number of them will consent to do
so, to make game that wifi not soon

of the Kennebec valley.
The details of this game will probably
be arranged today and full details will be
announced later, together with a list of

SMALL INVENTIONS.
Little Things That Have Brought Fortunes
to the Men Who Invented Them,

No better examples of the importance of
small things can be found than among the
records at the United States patent office
in Washington. There are to be seen cor
tain small objects which have become
known throughout the United States and
even throughout the world and have been
the means of filling the pockets both of the
inventors and their representatives The
idea of copper toCd shoes was patented
Jan. 5, 1858, by Maine genius, who
made 800, 900 out of it. Another similar
invention which made great deal of mon
ay was the metal button fastener for shoes
invented and introduced by Heaton of
Providence. AT the time it was consider
cd a fine invention for the old scwcd but
ton was continually coming off. 1t has
gradually grown in popularity since its
introduction in 1869 until now very few
shoes with buttons are manufactured
without the Heaton appliance.
BY comparatively simple arrangement
the shipping tags in use all over the coun-
try today We're made possibility. A card
board reinforcement, round in shape, on
each side OF the tying hole was all that
was necessary to make the shipping tag a
success. This was the invention of a Mr.
Oennison of Philadelphia, who has made
q fortune out of a lucky five minutes of
thought
The chief examiner of the division of
toys cites many instances where fortunes
have been made on puzzles and similar OBJ
jects The pigs in clover puzzle, the fif-
teen puzzle, the return ball and the flying
top are notable examples.
The man who invented the brass spring
fingers one sees on lamps for holding the
chimney in place got for long period a
royalty of $50, 900 year. A former OFF,
cial of the Chicago and Northwestern rail
way patented, June l, 1885, a thousand
mile ticket which possessed SO many adj
vantages that it has been adopted by
many western roads. Several years ago he
resigned his place and is now living on a
royalty of 500, 600 a year. Recently pat
ent has been granted on q new whistle
used principally by bicyclers and made
on the principle of the fog whistle The
inventor has received for some time past
$4,000 month. Among musical instru-
ments for general use the autoharp has
perhaps made the most money. The first
one was patented In 1882. The organetto
with perforated paper sheets, is another of
the money making musical instruments
named by the New York Sun as having
returned fortune to the inventor.

AT THE ANIMAL DEALERS.
How Wild Beasts Are Transferred From
One Place of Confinement to Another.

One Place of Confinement to Another.
A strange trade is that Of the dealer In
wild beasts, who receives animals of every
variety from hunters all over the world
and sells them to showmen, geological COL
lections, ETC., and not the least OF the
traders difficulties in handling these dan
gerous commodities is that of transferring
them from place to place. Probably not
many young folks know just how this Is
accomplished.
Take, for instance, the case of two beau
tiful Bengal tiger cubs received bya dealer
which he wished to put into the cage they
were to inhabit. These tiger cubs were
old enough to be dangerous.
The boxes that tigers and lions come In
are not very big-just big enough to al
low the inmates to lie comfortably. This,
besides saving freight, prevents the ami
NAL from using full strength, and perhaps
in case of fright or frenzy bursting the
box. Well, the box with the tiger cubs
was placed in front of and partly in the

"When in Rome do as the Romans do"
is one form. when thou art at Rome do
as they do at Rome" is another A third
is, "When they are at Rome, they do there
as they see done" The origin of the ex-
preston, says the New York Sun, is this:
st. Augustine used to dine on Saturday as
well as on Sunday, but in Rome the Gus
tom of fasting on Saturday had sprung up.
So Augustine did not know what to do
and finally consulted with ST. Ambrose,
who lived in Milan, and that wise man
wrote, "When am here, do not fast on
Saturday; when at Rome, l do fast ON
Saturday"
