FOURTH BATTERY ASSOCIATION.
Annual Reunion Of Members TO be Held in
This City. Next Wednesday.

The 4th Maine Battery Association holds
its 18th reunion at G. A. r. hall in this
city on Wednesday, June H.
A cordial invitation is extended to
members of all other Maine batteries resid-
ing in the city, also to widows and or
phans of deceased members.
Owing to the rapid thinning of our
ranks by the unwelcome visitor death the
time is not far distant when in order to
hold reunion the Maine Batteries will
h ave to join hands as each battery organ
ization will be too small for corporal
guard
This Is one of the reasons why the COM
mittee of arrange ments desire the men,
beers Of the other batteries together with
their wives and children to come In and
talk the matter over, take dinner and
supper with them, smoke the same pipe
and drink from the same canteen.
The Seth Williams Post, Ladies Relief
CORPS and Sons of Veterans are cordially
invited to come in, In the evening, fill up
the hall and give the boys hearty well
come as we'll as good send off, as not
many years hence old soldiers reunions
must be among the things of the past.

A RARE CHANCE
10 Secure a Set Of Encyclopedia
Britannica.
It Requires No Extravagant Terms to Empha.
size the Offer Which is Herewith Made to
the Readers Of the Journal.

AS announced on the 7th page 10 cents
day will enable the subscribers to the
journal to acquire complete set of that
best OF all reference libraries, the Ency-
clopedia Britannica This offer stands
without parallel, an opportunity never
before presented in Augusta.
For more than one hundred years the
encyclopedia Britannica has been accepted
tho world over as the most complete and
best compendium of information upon
any and every subject The last or ninth
edition of this Incompatible work has
been before the world for some years.
But the edition of the encyclopedia
which is offered to the readers of the
journal for 10 cents a day is consistent
with the newspaper and the city, for 1t is
up to date.
AT very large expense careful revis-
ion was made by eminent scholars and
specialists of authority, who have added
the necessary matter to bring the encyclo-
pedia up to date.
Outside Of these addenda and this revi-
sion it is identically the same as the fam
GUS Edinburgh edition Of the Encyclo-
pedia BriSannica-a fac-simile, not a
copy, but line for line, and page for
page the same as that edition and of the
full number of twenty five volumes.
geographically and mechanically con-
sidered, this new edition of the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica is consistent with the
high character of the encyclopedia itself.
The volumes are bound in genuine oakum
boards, which hold their shape without
warping The binding is with double
flexible back, the same as the Oxford
Teachers Bible, and is capable of standing
the hardest usage. An excellent quality
of paper is used and the type is clear and
legible. The illustrations and maps are
well executed and of high standard in
every respect. Broad margins for copious
marginal notes and references are allowed
to each page. In short, the word of the
Journal TO it, the encyclopedia is fit to
adorn the helves of any library.
The extraordinary terms are announced
on another page, upon which the modern
lied Encyclopedia Britannica will be sup
piled.
Remember this fact
The price of the Edinburgh edition is
5000. The ordinary selling price of the
undermined edition is considerably less
than half, but the readers of the journal
can have 1t at a still further reduction
which will make the cost of them less
than two-thirds of the reduced price.
Remember that a membership in the
Home University League" is presented
to each subscriber to the Journal edition
of the Encyclopedia Britannica. For in

Augusta can most certainly boast Of
several citizens of remarkable genius but
the latest schema one of her townsmen is
bordering over is hat modelled after the
plan of the extension drinking cup. The
idea of the capital city man of "big

ably arranged In the sides OF the hat
elastic plies which will allow this head
adornment to stretch sufficiently so that
the hat will feel comfortable for dizzy"

The Colbys>and Bowdoins will play off
tie game at the Augusta driving park,
this afternoon, beginning at s. o'clock,

the Remedies as pitcher, will, it is un-
derstood, catch for the Colbys.

tune OF the base ball team from that city,
Saturday, as it strolled from the Augusta

to TO-
Old Atmosphere never furnished a
better forenoon for base ball game. and
young blood never struggled harder for
scores. Features of the game were
like hen teeth, few and very far between
and it was steady peg from the time the
ball first passed over the plate.
The Waterville boys were first at the
bat and rolled in three scores in a very
graceful manner. The young man call
around" nine came in with so much blood
in its eye that Casey's bewildering curves
looked like pig tails. The side modestly
retired with goose egg
1t may be all right. but awkward, at
this point of the story to say that Umpire
Desmond must have been up very late,
Friday night, for his eyesight was very
poor, at least it looked from the fence as

plate However, Mr.. Desmond did his
best, no doubt, and filled difficult posi-
ton to the disgust of the Y. NJ. CA. bows,
who, of course wouldn't say such things
to him as some others might have been
tempted to do.
Casey in the box for the Waterviile ag-
gregation, had his curving fingers in |
splendid working trim and had the ex-
IRENE pleasure of seeing nine players try
to keep the flies away by waving the bat
over their heads, of course at the same
time trying to get a wipe at the pigskin
Casey's base sliding too was fine and he
generally was successful in placing his
paw upon the desired bag. Meredith,
Latlip and Bushey were each in line for
good playing and put up a good game.

Clement was in his clement caught

joy in the box did good work, and the
support was fairly good Gould and

been more largely attended. It was for
six innings and the detailed score is as

Interesting Letter from Mr.. Manley.

Mr.. Manley is having most delightful
trip abroad. In a letter received from
him by Mr.. Hichborn, yesterday, dated
May 26, he says, among other things:
'London is the city Of the world. 1t is
so substantial and business like. We are
delighted with It, And then 1t Is so full

COL. MORTON HOME.
Returns From Washington. D. c.. With Un
decided Plans for the Future.

Among the arrivals from Boston, by
boat. Saturday morning, were Col. Charles
B. Morton and son. who have returned
from Washington, d. c., to their Augusta
home. Col. Morton has for some time held
the position of auditor of the navy depart
ment of the treasury and was a few days
ago kindly asked by Grover to give up
his office, which of course Mr.. Morton
did
1t was toward noon of Saturday that q
journal man went to Col Morton S
home on Winthrop street to get an inter
view from him. The reporter was very
pleasantly received and found the colonel
looking finely, seemingly in the best of
health.
"Have you come direct from Washing
tom" asked the reporter
Eyes, my son aud myself arrived this
morning, by boat and had very delightful
trip. 1 escaped from Washington without
any of the many newspaper men knowing
that was going, and you are the first
one to approach me for an interview" re
marked the colonel smiling.
"Do you propose to remain in Au-
GUSTAV" was the next question propounded
by the interviewer.
81 will for the present, at least said
Col. Morton as he looked across the room
at his bright young'son and remarked, Il
have boy here whom l think the world
of and propose to do all in my power for
him. AS for my future course have not
yet oonsummated any definite plans, but
when l do you shall have Them said the
colonel as he pulled aside the lace curtain
to see passerby, and then continued, II
have good homo here and that of course
means much My side of the stories
which have been related about me has not
yet been told, said the colonel as the re-
porter babe him good morning
