resist joining some gypsy band and
roaming from place to place as his kind

OF man. Little do the good mans con-
gregation dream that, while they picture
him as Scdatcly journcying abroad, he is
sitting beside gypsy camp fires and chat
tering the wild Romany tongue oalI in
tents and purposes a vagrant. But, as
Mr.. llowclls pointed out, none ever
heard it said that this preacher preached
any the worse for his wild, free life over
road and prairie. Indeed, the increased
vigor and cloqucnce Of his sermons i'm
mediately after each successive annual
vacation have long been matters of
comment in Boston,"

BURIED COINS.
Dug Up by Boys just Beyond Martins
Point.

William Dennis, Aubrey Libby, Leslie
Libby of Portland and Robinson lad o
Falmouth were engaged in digging CLANS
on the shore on this side of the cove be-
yond Martins Point bridge, when they
struck metal box, rusted and rotted by
years of exposure in the ground, The
box fell in pieces and disclosed eight or
ten rusty coins, which the boys divided
among themselves, throwing several
away because they were so badly rusted.
Some of these coins have been cleaned
and submitted to experts. They have thus
been ascertained to be Portuguese copper
coins bearing dates early in the 18th cen
fury. Probably they were buried on the
shore by someasailor nearly 80 years ago.
They were found at point little below
the high water mark. This may show
that the shore line has receded during the
past three centuries, for probably the
sailors buried them at point which was
then above nigh water. The boys are
delighted with their find and are keeping
the coins as..rare.. treasures.

PROMINENT RAILROAD MEN
Are Visiting General Manager Evans of the
Maine Central,

Mr.. George W. Pullman, president of
the Pullman Car company, and Mr..
Benjamin 7. Gable, president of the
Rock Island and Pacific railroad system,
arrived from Bar Harbor yesterday and
are the guests of General Manager Evans
of the Maine Central 1t is Mr.. Cables
first visit to Maine. He is about sixty
years of age Of large frame, iron gray hair
and wears pointed beard. Speaking of
the railroads in Maine Mr.. Gable said :
II must acknowledge that what l have
seen of the Maine Central, Boston and
Maine and Bangor and Aroostook systems
that they compare favorably with the best
roads in the country. The road beds are
solfdly laid and the rolling stock is we'll
kept and in every way modern. My trip
SO far has been a series of surprises in
scenic nature. Everywhere we turned
there was new scene opened. The
management of the roads, 1 must say is
most efficient. Mr.. futile of the Boston
and Maine is a thorough railroad manager
and Gen. Manager Evans of the Maine
Central I have known for twenty seven
years. He is a great acquisition to the
Maine Central. Portland impresses me as
a growing center for shipping. 1 under
stand that they have built another big
grain elevator here. That is encouraging
and needful for the handling of her grow
ing shipments. -
Mr.. Cable discussed the rail facilities
of Portland from the West and toucbed
upon wheat transportation. The Canadian
Pacific's connections with the Maine
Central at Newport, Vt, and the direct
route of the Grand Trunk from the West
with through rates afforded in his opinion
great chance for Portland to join in
handling the enormous wheat crop which
is now starting on its export journey
from the west. The erection of another
grain elevator was indicative of the de-
velopment of Portland as a foreign ship
ping point.

Coal Rates Rising.

The Palmers contracted last week to
carry 10, 600 tons of coal from Baltimore
for Boston and Portland at from 70 to rs
cents per ton. Vessels are receiving 95
cents per ton for coal from Philadelphia
to Savannah, and as high as 81. so per
thousand has been offered for vessels car
rying lumber from Savannah north.
While these figures are not very large,
they show decided improvement over
the rates of month ago, and are far-i
advance of what vessels received in the
same trade last year. For the past two
years the regular coasting vessels have
been compelled to accept charters at a
low rate, in order to keep their vessels on
the move and give employment to men
who are inexperienced in any other voca-
ton.

throughout the entire engagement. The

During the fight which lasted some ten
minutes the Kearsarge made seven com
plete circles.
At the close Of the camp fire the com
rades with their ladies gathered in front

blow, large wild duck evidently flying

struck the outer window of one of the

force that he broke the glass and pene-
trated the interior of the tower. The duck
struck the glass rehectors about the Ian
tern with terrific force and was instantly
killed. The glass reiectors were some
what injured by the force of the blow
The duck was large fellow and must
have been flying at terrific speed to have
gone through the outer glass of the light
tower. This is the second time in the
memory of the keepers of the Twin lights
that a thing of this kind has occurred.
