His Bathroom Rolled Into Town.

A gentleman recently returned from a
business trip through Mississippi says:
TITS a bard matter to get bath in GER

ization of this fact that compelled me to
make the effort at getting bath while
making the run between two towns on the
caboose Of freight train. My bathtub con-
sisted of large tin cup and my bath

you know, is as open as an observation

ton essential to bathing and was pouring
water over my limbs when, 10 and behold,
the caboose, with every door wide open,
rolled into q city where 500 people were
gathered at depot waiting for an excur-
sion train, The caboose, as luck would
have it, stopped precisely opposite the sta
ton, and as the crowd caught sight Of me
could hear angry mutterings. l looked
around me. pondered every chance of es-

Caino Criticised.

Hall CainD has made some comparisons
between English and American women,
which in addition to being as invidious as
such comparisons must always be- arc based
on grounds which must necessarily be in
adequate. Congratulations of this kind are
much too freely made by visitors to strange
countries, who are apt to imagine-especial-
~ when they are literary people-that they
can read the character of nation or of any
Of its constituent classes by means of a
series OF flying observations. American
women, Hall Game assures us, are intel
lectually superior to American men, where
as English women are the intellectual in
feriors of their husbands and brothers
This being SO, it is obvious how he intends
us to infer that American women compare
with English women i'll intelligence.
1t is to be feared that the novelist has
fallen into the familiar temptation of those
who having been charmed by the hospital
ity of strange people, are betrayed by
gratitude into disparaging their own coun-
try and it's institutions for the sake of fat
tering their hosts. AS for the comparisons
Of personal appearance into which Hall
CGine laos enters, they are Of course abso-
lutely worthless save as the expression of
q single individual taste. His opinion hap
pens to be by no means unfavorable to our
Eountrywomen, but whatever it is it is
worth just as much as any other single
personal opinion on a subject upon which
tastes differ" and 10 more,-Lady's Pic

A Queer Notification of Fiction Writer'S

(From the Philadelphia Record.
A curious phenomenon was recently
observed by the Committee of the Swiss
Federal Rifle Meeting at Winterthur in
summing up the results of the practice
shooting of the troops. 1t was found that
nearly all the shots fred from the right
side of the range had hit the target to
the right of the bulls eye, while those
read from the left side had, with an equal
ly singular persistency, hit the left half
of the target. The great mum Der of men
who took part in the shooting precluded
the idea that this singular result could
all have been due to the personal peouli-
arities of the soldiers; for while it may
be true that one marksman habitually
shoots too high, another too low or to
the right or left of the mark, with q
large number of individuals firing at
the same target. these idiosyncrasies of
craftsmanship would be set off enc
against the other and the misses would
be fairly distributed on all sides of the
bull's.eye. 1t became necessary, there
fore, to find an extraneous and single
cause for the remarkable uniformity
with which the bullets appeared to have
been DETECTED from their proper course.
The wind could not have produced the
effect noted, since. in the first place, al
lowance had doubtless been made by the
ridemen for detection by aerial currents;
and on the other hand, If The wind had
diverted the missiles the DETECTION would

the steel clad bullets extracted from tho
targets disclosed the fact that they hnd

phenomenon observed by it might have
been due to electric influence exerted by

phone wires which run along both sides

George W. Verrill, George o. D. Soule,
Sergt G. W. Richardson, went aboard

and his party. which consisted largely o

There were General Fl. E. Tremaine OF

formerly Of Clark's battery; Major Low

the movements of W hich still display the
elasticity Of youth, his raven black hair
and mustaohe. and his fresh looking COM
plexions, belle the years that must be
his. He left leg on the field Of Gettys-
burg, but handles himself with ease on
his orutches.
His comrades, now few ana old, crowd
ed around him with delight which gave
some faint idea of the love which that
splendid corps of blooming manhood
must have borne for their brave and dash
ing young general when he led them up
to Gettysburg and posted them along the
DEVILS Den, the Wheatfeld and the
Peach Orchard for the bloody second
days fight.
General Sickles was greeted with cheers
as he came off the steamer and entered
the carriage provided. The column
moved up India to Congress street,
thence to Monument square and thence
to the Falmouth hotel. where large
crowd had gathered and whers hearty
cheers were given.
General Stokes arose in his carriage,
and leaning on his crutohes-a fine pic

Respectfully represent James p Baxter,
mayor of tn City of Portland, by order of
the City Council, dated June /, 1896, he is
authorized to petition the Board of Harbor
Commissioners for permission to extend the
solid abutment and fill of Tuzey's bridge on
the Portland side fifty feet
Your petitioner further represents that the
City of Portland is under the necessity of
reconstructing Tukey's bridge with q draw
of such width as WIFI make it necessary to
erect pier similar to that of the Grand
Trunk bridge; that the new bridge will be
iron, with granite piers, that to properly
construct the same it will be desirable to eX-
fifty (50) feet that this abutment with the
removal of the piles of the old bridge will
not diminish the water way or accelerate
the current.
The Honorable Board of Harbor Commits
sioners is therefore respectfully requested to
give a hearing at their earliest possible con-
venience at which this matter may be pre-
sented.
Dated this nineteenth day of June, A. Do

But as we remarked there is no fault
to be found with yesterday's battle of

and wound up with one of those rare but
delightful occurrences-a triple play, the
first ON the home grounds this year, and
the second for the season in this league.
The last part of the game the denoue
ment thereof is all that you will need to
know about.
We had fought hard and SO had Bangor,
and the last inning opened with the
score six and six. Portland was at the
bat, and Magoon led of with hit and
stole second. IT did look hopeful. Dun

which advanced him to third.

longed for came at last. or words to that

Keep thu saw mill hands from scoring.
Jack Sharrott faced Woods, and the
latter plunkod him in the side. With a
yoll such as they utter down Penobscot
way when IL log jam breaks, the veteran
fielder took first. Henry hit very easy
one TO Woods who picked it up and
passed it to Castle. He caught it with
Sharrott six feet away, but when the lat
