Bar Harbor, Me.-This is the month
when if ever, one would expect to see
Newport in the height of its glories,
nor is the expectation cheated.
But there is haunting shadow of
doubt, u cast of apprehension. A rival
has arisen whose rivalry will no longer
submit to being ignored. Newport,
queen as it is of ocean summer resorts,
is afraid of Bar Harbor-not afraid that
its own glories will be eclipsed but that
they will be divided.
Fear came upon Newport and tremb-
ling which made all her bones shake
when some of the diplomats, who flee
from Washington every summer, began
to take up their residence here. There
We're reasons for the change. Eu-
ropeans don't like hot weather. They
are unused to it, the English especially,
and like to get as far north as they can.
summer climate is glorious. The water
really never gets warm enough for
bathing, but there are wonderful still
reaches for canoes which somehow will
always balance just right with neither
one nor three inmates. And there is
mountain to climb where Newport
has none, and there is a fresh water
lake or pond near the salt, and fishing
and almost taste of wild life at COM
mAnd, and there are buckboards where
with to storm the neighboring country
in the most approved fashion. The Bar
Harbor blackboard is like the Bermuda
donkey cart, nearly everyone tries it
once.
Besides there are the great Maine
woods very near, and there have been
tales told of deer so plentiful and so
tame that they are veritable nuisances
about the farmers premises. And The
glorious 18th of August is at hand,
when people who have schooled them
selves to reckon time after the English
calendar feel that it is the season to be
thinking about killing something.
OF course there is Lot in Bar Iiarbor

themselves cottages" where Newport

are far prettier and in better taste. And
the society is a fine command of the
aristocratic reserve of Newport and the
democratic gayety of Saratoga. There
are no nicer" people in the world than
those who come here, judged even by
the society standard, but they seem un-
der these less conventional skies to have
shaken oft something Of the Newport
dread that some one not in the holy of
holies of the 400 may meet one on the
street.
Bar Harbor is more like Newport than
Saratoga in its frank athleticism. The
canoeing girl-this is her stronghold.
The golfng girl-she is everywhere,
like her cycling sister. The Bar Har-
Dor girl wears her gown loose, but we'll
fitting. She has no use for the l9-inch
waist. Even her shoes have often a
sensible athletic look, and the thought
of them reminds me that we are 20 have
this year a welcome return of broader,
shorter-toed shoes. And really the
toothpick designs were becoming n

The prettiest canoeing gown I have
seen-better suited for being padded
than for padding ones own canoe,
however-is a skirt of fine blue serge,
with bodice of white cloth daintily

leaves. This opens in front like q
zouave jacket, though it is belted more
like Norfolk, to show plat of the

Spouse to a special order received from
the secretary of the navy. The nature
of this order cannot be ascertained.
Every boat of the North Atlantic
squadron. except the New York, which
is still in dry dock, was taking coal
yesterday.
On the Newark, Montgomery. Gin
cinnati and Indiana there was constant
stir and hustle. From dawn until
darkness boats laden with provisions
crowded alongside. Two barges were
kept busy all day piling the coal in
the bunkers.
Officers admitted that services were
omitted on board the ships on Sunday,
but explained it by the necessity OF
making repairs so that the ships might
be in condition to take the naval mil
! tia on their annual cruise early in
July.
When asked if he expected orders tc

New York, June 23.-The chief fea-
ture of the speculation today was
Sugar. which displayed exceptional ac-
tivity upon the break noted yesterday
The stock was conspicuous. early for a
jump of Is per cent to 1.20, despite
news of further weakness in the for
elgn and domestic grades of the pro-
duct. The movement, however, was
largely, if not entirely, due to the COW
ering of shorts, and as soon as this
demand was satisfied the stock began
to sag and eventually on free offer
lngs by the traders, who believed they
detected inside selling, the price re-
coded AS to 1157s. The closing figure
was practically at the lowest The
general trading at the outset displayed
strength under the influence of higher
London prices for Americans, foreign
purchases, and also to be more cheer
full sentiment regarding our relations
toward Europe. The international
shares gained smart fractions. AS in
the case of Sugar, however, the
shorts were chiefly responsible for
downward trend of prices soon devel-
oped. a resumption of strength and
activity in silver certificates attracted
conSidera BILE attention. Authorities on
the metal stated the demand was le-
gitimate and was due to an increased
European inquiry. Other considerations
bearing upon the advance were the res
buttons in favor of bimetallism adlop-
! ted at the conference of representative
European interests at Paris yesterday.
Still another explanation was the
proba bility of active speculation based
on the continued political agitation.
The close was weak, with slight losses
in the railway shares.
Railroad bonds exhibited strength in
the early dealings, most of the specu-
lative issues gaining slightly. The
trading in the late session was marked
by irregularity, owing to the depression
in the share speculation. The extreme
changes were a decline of 2 per cent in
! Oregon Improvement firsts and a gain
of IL per cent in Hooking Valley
skies. The sales were $S60,000.
Government bonds were a shade
easier for the new fours, but other
issues held steady.
The transactions were 5000.

CHEYENNE. Wyo.. June 2S.-In the
Croker murder trial today, the open
ing statement of the case for the pros
ecution was made by County Attorney
Famm. of Evanston
He detailed at length the story of
the killing of Booth on the night of
january 26, 1895. and said the motive
of the accused for committing the
crime would be shown by the evidence
produced. A number of suspicious cir
cumstances in connection with the
crime were detailed, all pointing to
the guilt of Croker.
The first witness called in the case
was the county surveyor of Uinea
county. who produced maps and plans
of the premises where the homicide
was committed.
c. L. Baker. stenographer, was call
ed, who submitted a view Of the build
inss.
Mrs Booth and John Wagstaff, an
employee of her husband. told the
story of the events of the evening
when Mr.. Booth was murdered, in
connection with finding his body. Mr..
Booth had not returned home at
o'clock in the evening, and after in
inauiring for him at the stores, Mrs.
Booth and Wagstaff went to the barn
used by Booth and Croker and looked
for him there. Wagstaff tried the door
of the harness room and found it
locked. He looked through the win
dow and saw man stretched out on
the floor. Mrs. Booth thought it was
her husband. and that he was sick.
They went TO Crocker's house for help.
"A number Of Crocker's actions when
he went with them to the barn and
found the body Of his partner were Of
q suspicious nature. Mrs. Booth tes-
tified that although the men were bust
ness partners, the relations between
them were of an unfriendly nature. A
severe cross-examination failed to
change the story told by Mrs. Booth
and Mr.. Wagstaff.

The action of H. NJ. Teller and his
associates at the st. Louis convention
is universally approved here, but the
idea of placing Mr.. Teller at the head
of the ticket at Chicago is frowned
! at by many Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. True, he is just the kind of a
man that is needed on the money ques-
ton, but the idea of placing a Demo
GRAFT on finances and a Republican on
all other points in the chair would be
one of the greatest straddles that could
be contaminated. If Mr.. Teller would
| utterly renounce all claim to the Re
publican party and swear full ale
| glance to the Democrats, and would
stand solidly on the platform that will
be made at Chicago, it might then be
some inducement for the convention to
consider the advisa bliity of placing him
in nomination. Otherwise it would be
very foolish to entertain the idea.

Twelve Tramps Drowned.

SPOKANE, Wash, June ga new
story is in circulation here that twelve
tramps were drowned in a wreck OF
a freight train on the Great Northern
last Wednesday. The information is
that a westbound train struck a slide
above Kootenai Falls, Ida, and twelve
cars were carried from the track into
the river. Some Of the cars f1oated
In one Of the latter, according to the
story were twelve tramps who had
been stealing a ride. One of them
managed TO reach the top of the car
and cried for help. The people on
shore tried to throw ropes to him, but
failed and the car and contents were
swept over the falls. The report of
the fatality fails of definite confirma-
ton, but railroad officials are close
mouthed about the wreck. No train
hands were injured and the engine and
caiboose stayed on the track If the
tramps were swept over the falls the
bodies may never be recovered.
