a desirable camping place puts it freely at
the service of the troops, and cannot do
too much to insure the comfort of the
men.

on the soldiers as they ride past, and bow

said that foraging and those acts of

Something to Remember.

Do not forget that Center & McDowell's
great sale of russell goods opens this morn
ing and continues for three days, when
some of the biggest bargains in high
grade russell shoes ever offered in this
city will be shown. This is no old stock
of shop-worn goods, but everything is
fresh and clean and in the latest STYLE
They take this method to dispose Of
their stock rather than carry it over to
another season. They have placed large
orders for fall goods and need the room
for the same and consequently the pub
lie will get the benefit in the cut In
prices. This is not Il retiring sale, but
bona fide clearance sale of russell goods,
and the public should take advantage OF
this opportunity to get first-class goods at
less than the price of inferior quai1tles.
The sale opens this morning at O'Clock
and all sales are for cash. No goods. Will
be changed but if goods areynot perfectly
satisfactory in every way they may be
returned and the money will be refunded.
ALI mail orders will be promptly attend
ed to. See their large advertisement in
another part of the paper for prices and

TROOP r.
Marching Across Country is Work Not
Play.

The correspondent of the Boston Journal
travelling across country to Portland
with Troop f, Sd U. S. cavalry, says:
Troop of the Sd cavalry is star troop,
for Capt Dodd has evolved it from the
more archaic conditions of the cavalry
branch at large. He has made it what
is the crack troop of our army, the troop
which out Cossacks the Cossacks; which
includes in it's tactics movements by
trooper and evolutions by troop which are
evolved from Capt Dodd's personal obser-
vations of the foreign cavalry and his
experiences among the Indians of the
West. As a result he has a troop which
can do anything with horse that can be
done by an American, and many other
things no other American or any nation
does.
The route now being followed takes the
troop through the thriving and in
dustrious towns of Richmond, Jonesville,
Bolton, Duxbury, Waterbury Middlesex
with their farms and mills; Montpelier
the capital of the Green Mountain state;
Barre and Groton to Bradford where the
Connecticut river is crossed then through
Haverhill, Rumney, Plymouth, Ossipee,
Wolfboro and Freedom, to the state of
Maine, whence the journey to Portland Is
short.
Speaking of the country people who
stare at the troop on march he says: If
an old veteran is there he tells how Stone
mans raiders looked and did or says,
your sabres amt so heavy as the ones
Kilpatrick's men had, air they?' Then
there are other men who wear the bronze
G. A. r. button who push forward BEAM

''boys in blue. :"
The more rural neighborhoods are
beautiful and interesting. Beautiful in
their scenery, for there is hardly to be
found in New England locality where
hill and forest and farm are any more
tremendously grouped than In northern
Vermont. along the Central Vermont
railroad. In and out among them winds
the Winoosik river, leaping down over
lodges. crowding through narrow places
between steep rocky sides, tinkling over
boulders and pebbles or swirling silently
under the shade of oyerhanging trees.
All along the course of this stream from
the last silent fowings toward Lake

a mountain brook, Troop f has beer

valleys and reveling in the breezy heights

wheelman Get Death Benefit Of 800.

Chief Consul Abner W. Lowell has re-
oeived letter from Sterling Elliott, chief
consul of the L. A. W., for the United
States asking him to look into the facts
of the death of South Portland man a
few weeks ago who was a member of the
league. The membership, although
many wheelmen do not know it, en-
titles the family of the deceased to a
death benefit of 500. Mr.. Elliott's re-
quest to Mr.. Lowell was'for the purpose
of securing the necessary legal proof of
death preparatory to the payment of the
benefit. This is the first case of the kind
that has occurred in this state for long
time, if ever before.

THE TREATMENTS COMPLAINT.

THE TRAINMEN' COMPLAINT
An employe of the Grand Trunk road
speaking of the grievances of the employees
of that road as published yesterday says
many more might be added to them. LAS
stated BEFORE he says, it is not a
question of rate of pay. On one OF the
branches of the road the men are COM
PEELED to work from twelve to sixteen
hours day for a days pay, they are
obliged to do freight work in connection
with running passenger trains and also
the shunting at terminal points. They
have to handle all the cars that go over
the branch mentioned, that is all freight
cars. All switchmen have been taken off
from this terminal point and tralnmen
are compelled to do work which they
never had to do previous to the present
management. The train crews on these
runs one day work from a. m. till be-
tween 10 and II O'Clock p. M, with few
hours between these runs that the men
have to themselves, but they are actually
on duty all this time for they are subject
to the company's call at any moment.
The employees do not object nor do they
refuse to do all the things they can
possibly stand to do which the officials
ask, but they think it only just that they
should be paid for the extra work. Other
grievances are that the engines are over,
loaded, compelling the trainmen te
double the grades after becoming stalled
with from % to SO loaded cars that the
engines cannot haul.
''Many extra allowances that the men
were formerly granted for extra runs hav,
all been cut off making tho working hours
longer and considerably reducing the pay
of the employees.
"In the recent conference at Montrea
the employees did not question the RICH
of the officials to put Moguls or any othel
class of engine on the road, but in thu
event of becoming stalled the trainme1
with their heavy trains are asked at thu
first telegraph station why they became
stalled and to telegraph the tonnage O.

MUSIC AND DRAMa.
McCullum's Theater.

A boat ride in rain storm or a fog is
not particularly desirable unless there is
a very strong attraction at the end of the
ride. On Tuesday the fog was so thick
that you could not see house 30 yards
away on Peaks island, yet "The Private
Secretary drew the largest Tuesday
matinee of the season and the theatre was
packed at night The people of Portland
have such perfect confidence in the safety
and comfort of the Casco Bay company s
boats and they are SO sure of being well
entertained when they reach McCullum' s
theatre that storms and fogs never keep
them away. The Private Secretary is SO
full of fun that it is well worth seeing
even at the price of a little discomfort.

woMAN's INFLUENCE.

The aid which good women can give
to good government and their influence
in correcting social and political evils
can be by no means measured by the
number of votes they cast at elections
or even by the fact that they may not
vote at all. II is n frequent but an
absurd mistake to claim in any reason
able sense that one PERSONS ballot is
as potent in directing governmental af-
fairs as any other persons. In the mere
mechanical adding-up of the votes
there is of course no difference between
the slip OF paper deposited in the box
by the high-minded patriot and that
placed there by the boss-ridden ignora-
mus. In every democratic government
the majority rules in all cases, and
properly 1t should do so. But major-
ties do not always lie in the strength
of brute battallons; they are found
rather in the superior intelligence Of
leaders and hosts, the latter rarely fail
ing to come to the performance of their
perfunctory part when convinced Of
the sense and integrity of the former.
Hence we say that whether women
