SOME NEW THINGS
Heard Along the Water Front Yester-
Day

| The Dominion steamer officials here
have had notice that a herd of reindeer
from Lapland viii soon arrive here from
Liverpool on their way to Canada. They
are probably intended for exhibition.
though the exact reason why they are
to be brought here is not known.
The four masted schooner Charles Day
pairs.
Shipping Commissioner Toman yester-
day opened articles for four men for the
brig Il. II. Wright recently purchased by
Philadelphia syndicate to go on a
trip TO the Klondike. Captain Anderson,
her master, is one of the company organ
lied and he says the vessel will sail from
here Friday if possible and go to Phila-
delphia. The voyage thence to the gold
fields will begin at once and the sailors
who ship can keep right on if they care
to instead of leaving at Philadelphia.
Crews were also singed for the Charles
Davenport to Newport News and Norfolk
and thence to St. Lucia, West Indies. and
for. the S. W. Iilton to coal port and
| thence as the master may direct.
All Sunday trips by the steamers of the
Casco Bay line have been discontinued
for the winter season.
The Schooner Florida which recently
went ashore near Calais and was saved
going to pieces with difficulty is here
with cargo of turnips from ST. An
drews, N. B., for Hannaford Bros.
The schooner Sally B., put in yesterday
with cargo Of stone from Sullivan,
to New York. When off Seguin
the schooner sprang aleak and the pumps
had to be manned to keep her clear. The
captain thought it unwise to proceed
without first ascertaining the magnitude
OF the leak SO put into this port. Three
yesterday as the schooner lay in the
stream and it may be necessary to put on
the railway to repair damages.
Three large steamers arrived. They
were the Pottsville and Reading with
coal and the Maverick with oil for the
Standard oil company.
About six O'Clock yesterday morning
flames were seen bursting from the COM
panionway of the schooner Emma w.
Brown of Boston, lying at Custom House
wharf. The steamer Forest Queen was
about starting on her trip to the islands,
and Captain Oliver ordered two lines of
hose laid from his steamer to the schoon-
er, and the flames were extinguished
without the necessity of calling upon the
fire department.
The steamship Deyona of the Thomson
line will sail on Sunday. The Parkmore
is ready for sea and will probably sail
early this morning.
The steamship Armenia, from Liver
pool via Boston to Portland was reported
outside at dark last night and is expected
to be at her dock this morning.
Manager Coates of the Thomson line
has long distance telephone in his office
and frequently holds five minutes oonver-
sations with the central office of the COM
pany in Montreal The distance from
Portland to Montreal is three hundred
miles but every word that is spoken here
can be plainly heard in the latter city.

EX-MAYoR LIBBY DECLINES.
This letter explains itself:

Ia1S loGbef exp taluS ldS6A
Portland, Dec 7th, 1897.
Hon Ches. Fl. Randall, Mayor:
Dear Sir-I learn hy the morning paper
that 1 was chosen last evening By the
CITY Council, in joint convention, a com
missioner to represent the city of Port
land under the act of the last Legislature
relating to the annexation of Deering to
Portland.
By the terms of that act the report OF
the Commissioners must be made mot
later than January 1st. tSqS,' and the
subject submitted to their determination
involves so many important details that
much time and attention must be given
to their consideration. l am so situated
by reason Of imperative business engage
ments that it would be impossible to give
the matter proper attention during the
present month, and for that reason, while
appreciating the honor conferred upon
me by the action of the City Council
must reluctantly decline the appoint
1lent.
Very respectfully yours,
CHARLES f. LIBBY.

IS $ THE RED LAMP.

For some time past the eyes of many
people have been attracted evenings to
an upper front room window in the CO.
lu1nbia on Congress street, where red
lantern, or lamp, was burning displaying
figures. AT one time the number sos, we
will say, would be shown; ut another 615,
and so Oh. All kinds Of conjectures arose
as to what the light and the figures
could mean. They were apparently used
for code of signals, but who they were
for was mystery. Some thought the
head of gang of oounterfeiters might
make the place their headquarters and
notified the gang Of the advisability of
their coming or keeping away by means
Of the lamp and signals. Others thought
there were sneak thieves that were bene-
fitting by the signals. They were all
wrong. The singals and lamp were used
for an innocent purpose. They are
owned by a young lad, who lives in the
rooms, and he uses them to signal his
young companions as to when he is in,
when he is out and other matters Of in
terest to them.

POTASH TABLETS CAUSE AN AC
CIDENT.

DR.. James E. Keatlng was quite Sc
verely burned Wednesday night at his
home. In his pocket he carried box OF
potash tablets and several matches. In
some manner the matches took fire and
the potash tablets were ignited. In B
second DR.. Keating's pocket was in a
axe. He tried to remove the blazing
oo4 Of tablets from his pocket and in do
ing so severely burned his hand. His
clothes also took fire and he suffered 9th
er burns on his body. It WAS a most
peculiar accident and one which will
doubtless prevent the doctor from carry
ing potash tablets and matches in the
same POCKET in the future.

PROF. CHAPMAN ON MACBETH. y
Tbs third lecture in the Deering Star

large audience. Hon. Augustus T.

circumstances with which the tragedy has
to deal in the opinion of the lecturer.
Pref. Chapman is always sure Of a large
sized and enthusiastic audience upon the
occasion OF a visit to the citizens of Deer.

Numerous air ships have been seen
sailing over various cities of America
during the past few months at late
hours of the night when everybody
except energetic newspaper reporters
were floating around in the ethereal
realms Of dreams. The accounts of
the passing OF these airships glowed SO
brilliantly in the language colorings
so common to writers of fiction that
readers smiled smile of incre dulity
whenever they glanced at glaring
headlines of a new tale of another
nocturnal airship with the regulation
headlight. But now comes an acoount
OF one of these ships that can be be-
heved even by the most skeptical and
incredulous. On the 9th inst, at the
Tennessee centennial exposition
grounds, Prof. Arthur Barnard began
journey in an air ship constructed by
himself. The officials Of the exposition
and the people attending the expo
sition witnessed the ascent. The ship
moved off in perfect order and passed
out of sight in a few moments. Prof.
Barnard promised TO sail against the
wind after rising into the air, and he
did so. He returned with his sailor
on the night of the 9th. He says he
has machine which will fly under
ordinary conditions.

Attend to Your Orchard.


Lover Of Fruit in the saluhria Citizen
If an apple orchard is allowed TO
have its own way, it will get into the
habit OF bearing a full crop one season
and skipping the next. BY the fol-
lowing plan you can spoil this habit
and have a good crop of apples every
year:
II this is the season for n big crop,
thin out the bloom to q medium crop,
then cultivate the ground thoroughly
but shallow, and put manure around
the trees. The object is to induce q
good growth of wood on which the
next years crop is to be produced
Ii tree is allowed to bear over-ful
it takes all the energy to mature tina
crop, hence the failure next season
So if you want good crop of frui
every season, you must cultivate
manure and properly prune YOU
orchard every season and not allow
one tree to bear more than a medium
crop. But / fancy hear someone
say; "Oh, this will not pay" Well
in that case | would advise you to cut
your trees down, for without proper
attention an orchard will not pay
The same is true with all other farm
products. A man may raise cattle
and hogs at profit and not succeed
with fruit, for the simple reason that
he has not had experience in that line
Such persons ought to take good
paper devoted to that industry and
learn to train up a tree in the way il
should grow, and it will seldom disap-
point you.
