SEBAGO,

Sebago, Nov. 6-The Democratic plur-
ality of eight in contrast with the even
vote of both parties in September was
the result of several Rpublioans not vot-
ing as the Democrats vote gained only
two from that in September. The Demo-
Gratis who with II. L. Poor, wiped out
the Democratic plurality In Sebago
seemed to be out In MS good numbers as
at the Septembe election, and the very
small margin by which the Democrats
held the town for their party as was pre-
dicted in last Saturdays PRESS that
they were likely to do was only the re-
suit of lack of interest by few Repu bill
cans who thought that a vote did not do
as much good now as in the earlier cleo
ton
The midnieht returns as re eel we'd at
Hiram were carried to Convene and also
to the Sebago postoff1ce and upon OPEN
ing the morning mail E. l.. Poor found
q message sent to him from Hiram. A fter
the mail stage had gone Mr.. Poor started
with bis horae for East Baldwin o hit
the train for Portland going via East
Sebago, ttipg all on the road know by
the sound of his trumpet the result OF
the election, especially the postmaster at
East Sebago. and the Naples mail carrier
got saluted rs we'll az all others between
SebagO and East SebaRo postof6ces. Mr..
Poor was only about AZ minutes In reach.

New York's Fire Department..

Every city in the United States shows
local pride in its fremen. Each claims
that its department is one of the best (if
not the besD i'll the country. The rival
ry between some of the cities is at times
quite amusing and there is much dis
cussion upon the merits of their own
firemen, but New York city undoubted-
ly occupies today the enviable position
Of having, all things considered, the
most thoroughly equipped and most eff
icient fire service III the world.
The apparatus is of the best. The
horses, selected with care and judg-
ment. are magnificent animals, and the
men, picked from those thought to be
hest adapted for the work they must
perform, are subjected to most rigid
physical examination before they are
admitted to the service and aftcrward
are trained in school of instruction at
fire headquarters that is complete in
itself. Charles Thaxter Hill III St
