HIGH SCHOOL CADETS
Prize Drills Postponed Until Next satur-
day.
The Companies Yet to Drill and the
Order of Excrcises-The
Prizes.

The first battalion of High School Cadets,
consisting of the companies from the Cen

tive drill, begun Tuesday afternoon by the
second battalion, next Saturday afternoon
at $50 o'clock, at National Park. DIR. Lane
of the Central School this morning an
nounced the postponement on account of
the continued state of the weather.
The drill of the second battalion last
Tuesday was an excellent piece of work,
and the first battalion will have to puj
forth its very best efforts in order to come
to the average made by all the companies
from the branch schools. Company L was
generally regarded coming out ahead
last Tuesday, but the keen eyes of the
Judges probably discovered many errors
invisible to ordinary spectators, and there
may be some surprises in wait for those
who hold this opinion. Notwithstanding
this, the drill of company L, as we'll as
that OF the other companies, was excellent,
and the second battalion and its supporters
feels highly elated over the fine showing
made.
The companies which will drill Saturday
afternoon are a, Il, G and ID, the COM
mands going on the field in the following
order: Company A, Capt. Won Bayer; com
pany ID, Capt. Hoge; company b, Capt.
Daniels, and company c, Capt. Hoover.
This last company seems to be regarded as

ing the work of the regiment closely feel
confident that the outcome of the drill will
lie between and G.
After the competition Saturday the repi-

CORNERED WITH S9.
A Chemical Essential to the x Rays Ad.
 vances to Six Dollars Per Dram.


 vances to Six Dollars Per Dram.
 Pittsburg has cornered the tungstate market by deal that brought three drams of that precious chemical to the city, and the price has gone up from $288 pound to $572 within the last month.
 Tungstate is the substance used in a combination with calcium to make x rays visible.
 The man who cornered the market is a wealthy young Pittsburger interested in scientific discoveries. His first &C., quaintance with the chemical and sci entific world was made under Professor Tingley of the scientific department of the Alleghany High school.
 When the announcement of the dis covery of the Roentgen rays was made he haunted the high school laboratories and followed Professor Tingley's every experiment. with the keenest delight and with the discovery of tungstate of calcium as a medium to make the rays visible the young man wanted to see the rays right off. He made known his views on the matter to Professor Ting ley, and while that gentleman showed great interest in the project yet he seem- ed to lack enthusiasm to put it through at once. The professor explained that the high school was just out of tung- state and that it might be some time be- fore any would be furnished for such experiments.
 The young man pondered a moment and then asked Professor Tingley if he would accept some from him and go on with the experiments Professor Ting ley gave his assent, and the young man went out to hunt some up It wasn't to be found ill Pittsburg, but he was given all address in New York, which he took home with him.
 He ordered Q pound of tungstate In two days 8 reply was received stat ing tho house hadn't that much ill stock, but had sent all over New York city and would forward as much as they could get.
 Shortly after came package with three drams and a bill for $9
 The experiments were entirely suc- cessful, and then a letter was received from Chicago asking if he would sell part of his stock Then a letter came from New England city asking the same thing, and following them came requests from all over the country for some of the valuable stuff. Even New York dealers sent on, and now the price has crept up from $3 to $6 dram. Chicago Tribune.

AN ENEMY OF CIGARETTES.
Congressman Woodman offers a Bill tt
 Tax Them Heavily.

Congressman Woodman offers a Bill tt
 Tax Them Heavily.
 Congressman Woodman of Chicago is not friend of the cigarette smoker. He has offered bill ill the house to raise the internal revenue tax on ciga- rettes from 50 cents to $50 a thousand. If this bill should become law, the manufacturers of cigarettes would have to pay the government one-half cent for every cigarette manufactured. Last year the production of domestic cigarettes reached the remarkable number of 3, 327, 403, 780, and at the tax proposed by Mir. Woodman this number would bring to the government a revenue or nearly ST 1000, GOO year.
 The consumption of cigarettes in the United States is increasing at the rate of I50, GOO, 900 annually, and if this rate of increase was maintained the cigarette revenue under MT. Woodman' s bill would in a few years become suffi- cient to pay half ihe annual expenses or conducting the government.
 The government now imposes tax of $3 thousand on imported cigarettes. The importations last year were l,o73, 897. The number of American ciga- rettes exported last year reached 46l,- 859, 100, according to the report of the internal revenue bureau. Mir Woodman also proposes to make the tax on cigars @3 a thousand The production of cigars and cheroots last year reached 4.l6b,- O74, 185. Chicago Times Herald.

READS A NOVEL
Makes m Exception of His Rule Not to
 Read Stories.


 While Mr Gladstone has practically given up reading novels, he has mado an exception in favor of an American story His daughter, Mrs Drew, has written the following letter from Ha- warden to MT Heineman
 aWhen MT Gladstone wrote you the other day about the Renan translation you sent him. he forgot at the moment that it was from you he received MT. Frederic's very remarkable novel, 'Illu- minatio It arrived while he was still at Cannes, but it so deeply impressed me that l lost no time in inducing him to read it, and 1t was interesting to see how unable he was to put it down. He thinks 1t masterpiece of character drawing, and wishes me to thank you very much for sending it to him. ''
 This tribute when it is published here will greatly increase public interest in Mr. Frederick s story. Everything Mir. Gladstone now writes attracts wide spread attention His American article on the Bible has been reprinted in near ly every provincial journal and has drawn out adniring comment from the religious press.
 MT. Gladstone in his old age has the satisfaction of knowing that, deep as prejudice has been against him on po- litical questions, especially among peo- pie of wealth, education and fashion, 1t has rapidly subsided since his retire ment from public life All references to him pow ill the press and in conversa- tion are sympathetic.

MAINE IS ALL RIGHT
An Unprecedented Republi-
can Victory.
BY A PLURALITY OF 10000 VOTES
The Largest in the state--POwers is
Elected Governor by over
$4,000 Plurality.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 14.--Maine has
followed the example of Vermont and
declared for the Republican ticket by the
largest majority in its history. Accord
ing to the latest returns tonight, the
plurality for Powers, Republican, for
governor, will be- over 45 600, and prob
ably in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Hon. Thomas B. Reed is reelected to
the house by over 10000 plurality. The
returns show plurality of about 10000
for Dingley for congressman from the
Second district; over 10000 for Milliken
in the Third district, and practically the
same for Boutelle in the Fourth district.
In the state legislature, the Democrats
will apparently have less than half-a-
dozen OF the representatives in the house
and not one in the senate. AS antici-
pated, the Republicans polled a tremen-
dous vote and secured many Democratic
ballots.
On the other hand many disaffected
Democrats remained at home, and only
a few voted for the nominee of the gold
standard wing. The Populists and the
Prohibitionist votes have been received
from only few towns, but it is evident
that neither party polled as large vote
as two years ago.
The successful candidate for governor
is the Hon. Llewellyn Powers, of Houl-
ton, Republican. The nominees of the
other powers were: Hon. Melvin P.
Frank, of Portland, Democrat; Luther
G. Bateman, of Auburn, Populist
Ammi S. Ladd, of Calais, Prohibitionist,
and Hon. William Henry Clifford, of
Portland, gold Democrat.
Hon. Thomas B. Reed, of Portland, |,
from the First district; Nelson Dingley,
of Lewiston, from the Second district
Seth Milliken, of Belfast, from the Third
district, and Charles A. Boutelle, OF
Bangor, from the Fourth district, who
have for years represented Maine in the
national house, are the congressman
reelected.
