peIiahttul Condition Of Things.

Yesterday was d day after the tax-pay-
ing kicker's own heart. II was such Il
one as never fails to attract the atten-
ton of the occasional visitor. The effects
of visit to this city yesterday VIII NOT
wear off for a long time. Everybody mas
passed "A good deal of time in the last
two weeks framing sentences mat were

1t was all on account OF the ram ana

viewed the lessons of the past two weeks.
They shut their eyes and said pheW,
looked sour. which indicated that there
were inward mutterings or stronger
character. And all this on account OF the
clouds of dust that chased each other
down the street. To the person who had
nothing to do but sit in the house ana
wait for the mail, there may have been
something interesting in the whiriing
PARTICLES of various things that sought
and found the every nook and corner
where dust and dirt should not accumu-
late only too often finding an open eye
lid or parted lips. The dust blew in
clouds into the millinery shop. it waited
itself in punches into the ice cream par
lor, it stole into the drug store in hemis-
pheres, it blanketed the bon-bons and
delicate morsels of the bakery. it whis-
tied up the trousers legs of the dummy In

waves of the beautiful Kennebec into the
open windows of the Hollingsworth 4
Whitney paper mill. entering into the
business of manufacturing sandpaper.
The city council has tried to make this
condition of things better. but its scheme
was nipped in the brd. The object of the
city fathers was to keep the business
streets of the city in a comfortable con-
dition for all hands. citizens and timer
ants alike. In trying their scheme they
rented the water carts of Mr.. Halde and
set one of the fire department teams at
work. At once a howl went up from
those living on the residential streets,
that the city council was squanuering the
public funds. The plan had been to
sprinkle the business streets and College
avenue as far as the lower Maine Central
crossing. the principal avenue that is
used by visitors to the city. Now it hap
pens that several residences adorn that
thoroughfare and the residents there
were getting the benefit of a little free
sprinklng, hence the kick. The mer-
chants now refuse to sprinkle the streets
as formerly, and there We are. City
pride should he heard from next, but it
is doubtful if it is.
