Commander Carleton Says Our Boys Had
Grand Reception in Buffalo Parade.

Commander l.. T. Carleton of the
Maine G. A. r., arrived home from the
national encampment at Buffalo, Sun
day evening. Business called him to
Augusta, Tuesday. and in the after
noon he gave a Journal reporter the
pleasure of listening to his account Of
the encampment. He had grand good
time and is not much fatigued from the
trip. On account of his recent illness
he was not out of his hotel but once
during his stay and that was at the
time of the parade, when he marched
with the rest of the Maine members,
Notwithstanding the fact that nearly
all the department commanders of thu
other states rode upon horses.
Maine was at the head of the 9Th
division" said Mr.. Carleton, land to
say that she received her share of the
applause wouldn't half express it. We
were simply drowned with applause.
There were the New Jersey men ahead
and the Vermont men behind us; but
the cheering for Maine along the line
of march would begin as soon as we
came in sight and continue until We
were out of sight. Every man who had
a drop of Maine blood in him that day
was thrilled through and through with
pride and love for the old State"

quantity) don't fail 70 call on G. d.

them into stylish garments. He has
returned from New York. and it is
good, even for people who cannot afford
to wear them. to see the elegance and
richness of some of the new fur jacket

Never were garments more jaunty and
lovely. Mr.. Libby anticipates a real

DID THEY eLops /
Sickness Seems 10 Have Prevented Two U.
River Parties from Carving Out Plans.

The Waterville Mail recently had
quite an article upon an elopement in
which no names were used and the
name of no town was given, though
taken all in all 1t was made to appear
quite serious affair.
One day last week, the day before the
item appeared in the Mail, a Journal
reporter was notified by an UP river
friend that two of his acquaintance
were to elope that evening, taking the
Pullman at Waterville for New Hamp-
shire, where they were to be married.
The friend who tod the reporter abeu.
the coming event was informed by the
couples advance agent-if he may be
called that-who had gone ahead 81
them to purchase tickets, etc.
That night the Journal reporter made
thorough search of the Pullman; but
failed to find the couple, and thus was
good story lost. The next day advice
came from the home of the couple that
the young lady was very sick and all
was explained why the elopement did
not come off.
Now perhaps the reporter of the
other paper mentioned was also made
confidant by the advance agent"
and took it for granted that the affair
would be carried through according to
programme, the result being the item
referred to.
