THE PILGRIM IN COMMISSION.
The Casco Bay Steamboat Co.'S New
Steamer.

The magnificent steamer Pilgrim, the
queen of the Casco Bay Steamboat com
pany's feet, was put into regular service
ON Saturday and will continue to make
frequent tripsssto the islands every day.
according to the new time, during the
remainder of the summer season. Since
she was pur chased in Buffalo, where she
had been run as an excursion boat on
Lake Erie for three years, a new hurri-
cane deck has been added to her and this
can now be reached from the main deck
by broad companion way. On this hur-
ricanesdeck will be placed comfortable
settees extending across the deck from
one ide to the other, and giving all who
choose to seat themselves in that part of
the com modious steamer, an excellent
view of the waters through which she
plows her way.
The Pilgrim's electric light plant is ex-
tensiye, and of the latest design. She
carries dynamo which supplies 81 in
candescent lamps, and the 5000 candle
power search light on the top of her pilot
house. This search light will prove of
the greatest service In case of @ heavy fog
at night. The arrangements of the Pill
grim are superb throughout. Her ladies'
cabin, 81 by "a feet Is handsomely fitted
up with large.mirrors and finely uphol
stored furniture. The cabin Is large
enough TO serve as dining room for a
large excursion party, and doubtless the
cabin will be used for this very purpose
many times before the season ia over.
On the Pilrgim there seems to be plenty
of room for the biggest kind Of a crowd,
and as comfortable sea boat she cannon
be exoelled by anyIin the harbor. Cap
tain A. 8. Oliver, veteran in the serv-
Ice of this steam boat company commands
the new boat. She makes the run to
Peaks island in ten minutes with ease,
| and it is thought that she might do it
much quicker than this if she were
pushed little. The Pilgrim makes
twelve round trips day between Port
| land and Peaks and Cushings.

A NOVEL CASE.
Is 1t Cruelty for a Man to Refrain from
Shearing His Sheep?

Geo. n. Freeman, trial justice of
Gray, was before the municipal
court yesterday morning, on the
charge of neglecting to shear his
sheep until after the s1st of June. The
complaint was tbaS by neglecting to
shear his sheep he had wilfully permit
ted them to suffer torture. The respon-
dent said he would waive heari ng and
appeal The court thereupon ordered a
hearing to determine whether or not the
Case was within the jurisdiction of the
Municipal Court. Testimony was intro
duced showing the condition of sheep,
and suffering on account of thick fleece,
in hot weather. The respondent WAS fined
So and costs from which sentence he ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court.
The prosecution was based on the stat
ute which is in substance that every per-
son owning. or having the charge or GUS
tody of any animal, who knowingly or
willingly permits 1T TO suffer torture, or
cruelty. shall be punished etc. 1t was
claimed in this case that 1t was respon-
dent's duty, as owner of the sheep, to
use proper measures to prevent suffering,
as much as it was to refrain from positive
torture or cruelty.
The question naturally arises in case
of this kind what is cruelty. In sheir
natural state the sheep would have to
keep their fleece in all seasons OF the
year. If nature permits the sheep to
hai low thaSo
can man be accused of cruelty in not de-
priving them of the fleece when they are
domesticated.

SOME PORTLAND POINTERS.

Those uncomfortable and ex-
tremely uneasy people who find
their greatest pleasure
perhaps their only-in MAX
ing themselves and every
body else disconnected, are
prone to complain of the 'sl0w-
ness'' of Portland. They ignore
the patent fact that if Portland
is not Splinter she gets there
all the same. She wears dia-
mOnds.
Portland is in many particu-
lars the most prosperous city in
this country. TO begin WITH
iler wealth per capita is only
exceeded by that of YOnkers. In
her public and private charities
she is only surpassed by Balti-
more. She has a. greater pro-
portion Of paved streets to the
total ''mileage" than any city
in the whole broad land. She
expends more money, in proper
ton to her valuation, on her
schools, her streets, her fire
department, and public enter
prises generally, than any other
town, incorporated or unincor-
p0rated, in the United States.
She is a miracle among cities.
And she is growing richer and
more beautiful every day.
Proud of her past, prosperous in
her present, and justly conf
dent of her future. she is an OBJ
ject of envy to less fortunate
cities.

REPUBLICANS DISTURBED.

III the truth were known there IS more
dissatisfaction among the Republican
ranks because of the bolt of the sllverites
at st. Louis than has been shown.
The New Orleans States, referring to
this matter, says that the fact staYes
them in the face that the detection OF
six of their Senators reduces the Repub-
lican vote in the Senate one less than the
Democrats. and more, the belief prevails
That Senators Teller. Cannon. Dubois
and Pettigrew. having renowned the!r
allegiance to the Republican party, will
in future vote, as now do Senator's Jones
and Stewart, with the Democrats and
prevent the passage of any Republican
tariff bill, even If Mckinley Is elected
next November. 1t Is possible, says our
contemporary, that this fact may have
q discouraging effect on the manufactur
ers, who WIN not be so free in contr.but-
ing to the campaign fund IL II is settled
that the Republicans have lost control
of the Senate and no tariff legislation
for their benefit can be enacted
These are facts and they are causing
the Mckinley managers no END of
trouble
If. as the States has said. It is discov-
cred that thd Republicans have lost con-
troll Of the Senate by reason of the derec-
tion of the silver Senators named, why
then the protected manufacturers will
be slow In putting out money for cam
paign purposes when there is no guaran-
tee that protective tariff, such as they
want, can be passed.

be perfectly plain and clear In this mat

and the associations of the Republican
candidate, wholly apart from his stand

into the campaign tied to real II not
an avowed. party purpose TO repeat the
acts which brought the party into popu-
lar discredit in 1890 and. 1892. and covered
with scandal the name OF protection"
This is strong language from Repub-
lican qua:t.:r, and gives some idea as
to the opinion held by many of the think
Ing people OF the Republican party OF the
man nominated AT st. Louis.

SAID TO BE QUARRELING AMONG
THEMSELVES.

A report comes from Havana that the
lnsurgent leaders IN Cuba are QUARREL
irts among themselves, and If such is
the fact, IT will do more 10 advance the
Spanish cause on the Island than the
winning OF a dozen battles.
A few days ago the statement was
made thar President Cisneras was to be
removed and Calixto Garcia was to take
his place, and following this n rumor
gained currency that Jose Araceo and
his brother. Antonio. were to be brought
TO account by orders OF Gomez for in
subordinaton, and that there is dfssat-
isfaction among n number Of the smaller
leaders. OF course these. after all, may
be rumors only, but no denial has been
made OF the Maceo affair, and MANY
are inclined to the opinion that there is
q feeling of jealousy between Maceo
md Gomez which is damaging :he cause
of the insurgents. The friends and SYM
pathizers of free Cuba in the United
States hear these things wnh sincere re-
greet. and the hope is shat they are not
so, but rumors only. The need was
never greater for the Cuban leaders to
be in thorough accord with each other
than now. To quarrel among themselves
Is an evidence of weakness and they
cannot afford II
