FOOT BALL AT DAMARISCOTTA.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

Damariscotta, Oct. 25.-One of the most
interesting games of foot ball that was
ever seen here took place Saturday after
noon between the team representing Lin
coin Academy and the East Beothbay
High School eleven. The game was q
hard fought one from the start. The
Boothbay eleven took the ball from the
kick off and made short, but steady
gains until they reached, the Academy s
IS yard line, when the ball was passed
to Race, Boothbay's right half, who after
pretty run around left end, made the
first touch down just twelve minutes
after play was called
In the second half Boothbay kicked of
to Lincoln, but soon had the ball OF
downs at the Aoademy-s 40 yard line
The, High School team worked beauti
full criss cross between the backs, or
which Gould, the left half, made a gaiI
of 80 yards, and was only saved from
scoring by great sprint by Bryant. the
Academy's big full back But on thu
next line up the ball was carried over on
quarter back play making the score {
to in favor of Boothbay, as neither
goal was kicked. After this the Acadeny's
heavy backs rushed the ball with more
life, and commenced pounding at Booth
bays right guard, and by steady gains
scored their only touch down, and lost q
goal by a very foolish thing on the part
of Kelly. the Academy captain.
The feature of the game was the
good playing of the whole Boothbay
eleven. For the Academy, Kelly, Ken
niston, Bryant and Snow did the best
work.

THE SHEEP OF LEBANON.
They Are Fattened Like the Famous
Geese of Strasburg.

Harry Fem, the artist. has written for
the April st. Nicholas an account of his
visit to the famous cedars of Lebanon,
which place is also noted for its silk. Mr.
Fem says: Wherever a handful of earth
can be made to rest upon a ledge, there a
mulberry plant grows. It is a picturesque
and thrilling sight to see a boy lowered
by rope over the precipice, carrying
big basket of earth and cuttings of null
berry twigs to plant in his hanging gar
den. The crop of leaves, fodder for the
worms, is gathered in the same way. By
such patient and dangerous industry have
these hardy mountaineers been able to
make their wilderness of rock blossom into

which weighs twenty pounds when at the
full maturity of its fatnesS; and then n
strange stuffing process begins, not unlike
the fattening of the Strasburg geese. When
the sheep can eat no more the women of
the house feed it, and it is no uncommon
sight to see woman going out to make

then works the Sleeps jaws up and down

she thrusts it down the throat of the nm

business Is that probably half a dozen gos-

OF course the sheep gets immensely fat,
and that is the object: for at the killing

ARBITRATION TREATY.
Senate VIII Consider 1t This Week
with n Possibility of
EinnI Vote.

Washington, March 2S.-The senate will
devote its energies this week TO the arbi-
tration treaty. with the vague hope on the
part of some of the friends of that instru-
ment of securing a final vote on Friday or
Saturday. The senate will, early to-mor-
row. go into executive session to consider
the treaty, if not unforeseen circumstance
prevents, and thus afford ample time to
complete all speeches by Wednesday, when
the voting is to begin on the miscellaneous
amendments. The consideration of amend
ments is to continue Thursday, provided
Eew ones are offered after Wednesdays
proceedings Later than that day, the
senate procedure is not clear. Consent to
naming Il date for the vote on the treaty
itself is still withheld, and will not be
given until after the fate of the amendment
becomes known. 1t is surmised that if the
CEiltcn amendment should be accepted
the debate on the treaty would soon come
10 n conclusion. but that if it should be
beaten the subsequent discussion would be
of indefinite duration.
The appropriation bills are expected to be
reported TO the senate after the meeting of
the committee on appropriations on Tues
day. but they will not be taken up in the
senate until the treaty is disposed of. The
bankruptcy bill WILL also yield precedence
TO the treaty.
The question of organizing the commit
tees continues to press for attention and
may reach climax during the week.
The tariff bill will reach the senate late
in the week and be referred to committee,
which however, already has the various
schedules under consideration.

Washington, March 2S.-The Republican
members of the ways and means committee
were in session several hours to-day and
the pending tariff BILL some of which have
affected by the schedules as originally
agreed on and others which have been
suggested by the debate on the bill. A
number of amendments were agreed on
unanimously by the majority and will be
presented in the house by Mr.. Dingley be-
fore the vote is taken on Wednesday.
There was nothing new added to the BILL
said a member tonight, but the changes
made were simply in the schedules already
reported and none of these of great I'M
portance These amendments were mainly
in the way of changes in punctuation.
classification and phraseology. Probably
the most important amendment agreed on
was to make the rates on nursery stock
specific on the thousand cuttings instead
of uniform ad valorem as they now are i'll
the bill.
The present rate in the bill is 30 per cent
ad valorem, and the changes made fix a
specific rate that will equal the ad valorem
duty. This change was made on the rep
resentation of the nursery interests of the
country. which contended that the pending
rates were inimical to their welfare. Sew
eral other amendments agreed on We're to
reduce the rate on imports the like of
which are not produced here and where no
great interest will suffer from such reduc-
ton. The duty on dates was reduced from
IL cents per pound to u cent. There was
no discussion looking to a possible post

the slow progress which has been made in

WHEAT CROP IN 1896.
Aggregate Worlds Production Was
2,42S, ,393,OOO Bushels - More
Than Was Estimated.

Washington, March 29.-The worlds S
wheat crop for 1896 was 2.42S, 49,, 900 bushels.
This fact will be officially announced by
the secretary of agriculture in a report to
be issued this week. This important re-
port will also cover the quality and distri-
button of the corn. wheat and oats grown
in the United States during the past year.
Although the total wheat crop is 11s000,-
600 bushels less than in 1895, II is larger
than earlier estimates indicated. This is
largely due to an increase of 59,000,0O0 in
European Russia, shown in the final
estimate of the central statistical bureau
over the November estimate of the minis
ter of agriculture of that country. The
crop for 1896 is the smallest for six years.
The figures given by the agricultural de-
partment in these tables are official wher-
ever available.
Regarding the distribution of the wheat
crop of the United States for 1896, the re-
port will state:
THE increase in price which began in
the fall of 1896 so stimulated sales that
many parts of the country are now left
with only sufficient for seed. All sections
report an exceptionally small percentage
on hand. the general average being POS,
against 26.3 last year. and showing but S.
000O bushels in farmers hands. March /.
Unusually little of the crop of 1895 remains
but per cent-against ~ per cent of the
1884 crop so held year ago. A larger pro-
portion than usual must be retained for
home consumption. The average percent
age so retained is 4s.3. against Ais last year,
when the inducements TO export were
