A brilliant Debut.

Oh, gather round, ye rooters,
And make the welkin ring!
Tommy fuckers on the coach line
And rousing cheers the thing
To scare the alien vandals
And make the world admire.
Lift up your lusty voices
When Tommy leads the choir!
He looks just like Fanciulli
Or Sousa out on show,
When. with waving hand uplifted,
He bids them Let 'er go!'
So, season after season,
Wen hope and never tire
If the boys are on the bleachers
And Tommy leads the choir.

A Chorus of the Capital.

A Chorus of the Capital.
Oh, we are freemen, one and all.
AS proud as proud can be.
We answer to no tyrant's call
In Washington, D. c.
But rules have had
Exceptions sad,
And one just now we know.
1t laughs at debt
And makes us fret,
The naughty B. and Owe.
If any man your cheek should smite,
You'll have, in time, your turn.
To break your bones none has the right;
This lesson all must learn.
For there are laws
That bid men pause
When to excess they go.
They call halt
On all assault
Save by the B. and Owe.
If you should find barber pole
Too far out on the street,
Tell the policemen who Patrol
So watchfully each beat.
DISTINCTIONS all,
Both great and small,
Take hence and don't be slow.
DO uOt presume
On public room
You're not the b. and Owe.
Our hats and shoes and coats We buy
Right here within our town;
Each need our neighbors can supply
At prices well marked down.
Why is it, then,
A citizen,
To Baltimore must go,
To get bit
OF law to fit
The naughty b. and Owe?

A Bath officer was in the city,
Wednesday, looking very anxiously
after a man who stole from another
man the sum of $50. There is some
thing rather beastly about the thief /
conduct in this case. He was sc
years old, and ought to have known
better than to do as he did. He was a
stranger in Bath. He played on the
sympathies of a young man, who has
recently come there. The latter shared
his bed with the stranger. to find On
awakening one morning, that his trunk
had been rified and that $50 had been
taken from it. His bed-fellOw had
gone away, he thinks, forever. The po-
lice have been searching for the strang-
err man. but without success. He is
described as having a smooth face.
light, with rather light blue eyes. H
is stout man, standing feet, 10 or IL,
and has a very pleasant way about
him, which completely captivated the
heart of the young man.

The difficulties of the diagnosis of med
zeal cases are not appreciated by the pub
lie at large. who think that a doctor has
only to look at a patients tongue to tell
the ailment and the cause. An instance
of the difficulty encountered in this line
of doctors work was cited yesterday
by local physician of prominence. A
man came to the Maine General hospital
suffering. he said. from a severe pain in
his stomach. which had been almost con-
tinuous for six months. There was clear
ly no gastric disturbance. and the doctor
was puzzled. The patient said he was
employed to sew buttons on trousers but
that appeared to furnish no clue. At last
the doctor examined the patients gums.
and there he found faint blue line.
which is conclusive evidence of blood poi
soning. Close questioning, based on this
information, brought out the fact that
while sewing on buttons the patient 5
habit was to wet his fingers and run them
along the thread. The dye was thus
transferred to the stomach. and the lead
in it caused blood poisoning.

The petition of the Portland &
Rochester Railroad for the crossing Of
/ the marginal way and Washington
! street, Portland, came up by adjourn.
ment before the board of railroad com
missioners.
City Solicitor Morrill, in behalf of the
city asked for a continuance of the
matter for a week or 10 days, for tbs
reason that the committee on public
works desired to present the question
of widening the bridge over the mar
ginal way, to the city government at
the meeting to be held next Monday
evening. Seth L. Larrabee appeared
for the Portland & Yarmouth Electric
Railroad and Ex-Governor Cleaves and
S. c. Perry for the Portland & Roches-
ter. No objection was made to the adj
journment, and the hearing was adj
journed to June 10, at 9 o'clock A. NJ,
in the city building. Portland.
The Waldo highway crossing was
taken up. Hon. S. c. Carter of Lewis
ton, and the chief engineer of the Maine
Central Railroad. appeared for that
road, and the selectmen of Waldo ap-
peared for the town. The object of both
parties being to have the crossing mu-
tually convenient.
"A greater part of the afternoon was
taken on the hearing on the petition of
the Portland & Yarmouth Electric Rail-
way for a right to cross the bridge in
Deering of the Grand Trunk Railway
over Veranda street, Deering. Hon. Seth
L. Larrabee, attorney for the railroad
appeared for the petitioners, and A. A.
Strout and C. A. Hight appeared in re-
lation to the interests of the Grand
Trunk.
In connection with this. and heard at
the same time was the petition of the
Grand Trunk Railway relating to the
construction of the bridge. Robert Ar
mour the chief engineer for the Grand
Trunk Railway, and I. w. Barbour for
the city of Deering. were put on the
stand. t f
The bridge in question is owned by the
Grand Trunk. 1t has been found neces-
sary to widen it, and together with the
Portland & Yarmouth Railroad, which
proposes to pass over it. and the city of
Deering, the Grand Trunk wants to have
a fine steel bridge put up. The question
comes on the proportionate expense to be
paid. The Portland & Yarmouth Electric
Road does not feel disposed to pay more
for the bridge than would be required
for its purpose. that is, any more than
would be sufficient to strengthen the old
bridge.
A hearing has been ordered for
Wednesday. July I. at the commissioners
room. on the petition of the municipal
officers of Paris for highway crossing
over the Grand Trunk Railway.
