THE FLOWER SHOW.

THE FLOWER SHOW.
There was very large crowd Mt the
flower show last night and all we've loud
in theif praises of the exhibition. The
exhibit of palms and ferns is Il magnifi-
cent one and is one of the best ever seen
in this State. They are beautifully ar
ranged in pyramid form AMI show off to
the best possible advantage. The other
potted plants are also very pretty and
especially the begonias and chrysanthe-
NUNS. The cut flowers most assuredly
carry off the palm, as the carnations and
chrysanthemums are Of the most en-
quisite shades and varieties and with a
background of palms and ferns they
make most beautiful display The
musical programme rendered by the
Roanoke Machine WORKS Orchestra was
excellent and was thoroughly enjoyed by
every one present and it reflects much
credit upon its leader, Jas. Devon The
only thing to mar the otherwise success.
full evening was the going out of the
electric lights in one of the rooms, which
caused the crowd to seek refuge in the
other, but fortunately it was after the
crowd had somewhat thinned out or the
room would have been uncom fortably
crowded. The cause of this inconveni-
ence could not be learned, but the ladies
will no doubt see that they are not
placed in this dilemma again tonight

les replied Mr. Hale, we have the
poso roads act of the National Congress.
onaer That, Mr.. Hale continued, his
oiienes We're legally on the ground, there
70 remain undisturbed until the imposi-
.'o 1 VI such proper and reasonable con-
oioiohs as the local authorities might de-
mand.
- Deerlng, before the relocation of the
telegraph line was recommended, the
company were given an opportunity to be
heara. No such opportunity had been
given by the town of Falmouth. The
selectmen had simply notified the tele-
graph company to remove it's poles to
such locality as might be approved by the
town officers.
MI. Hale declared that more than thirty
poles would have to be removed. In
eHect the whole line along the electric
road would have to be moved and remade.
IL was true that the highway had been
wldened before the electric road was built
put 1t was done for the benefit of the cleo
trlo road. Now as shown in the st. Louis
case municipality has no right to cause
expense and trouble to any company in
such situation in order to accommodate
another.
IL was the invariable habit of courts,
where there was need of full and ex
hautlve trial, to grant restraining order
10 Keep things as they are pending the
determination of the case.
Judge Webb called attention to the
factathat such restraining order had al
ready been issued.
Mr.. Hale added also that this should
be followed by the temporary injunction.
Judge Webb called attention to the fact
that the imminency of irreparable damage
was condition bearing upon the ques-
tion OF temporary injunction.
MIR. Hale went on to quote decisions
to show that State and local regulation
may not destroy the rights given by Fed
eral law.
And the compliments in this case al
legged that the Portland & Yarmouth line
would destroy the telegraph line along
the road in question.
Mr.. Hale said that his clients were
properly organized under the laws of the
United States, and when they accepted
| the post route act they obtained the rights
conferred by it, without regard to the fact
that the line used in Maine was con
structed under State charter and il
such way as not of itself to have right.

some difficulties, involving points some

OF interest to Colby Students.

The first college debate of the year at
Colby will occur near the end of the fall
term. The question to be debated is:
Resolved that the United States Senate
should ratify the treaty for Hawaiian
annexation.
The contest is open to all members of
the Mems college, including the in COM
ing Freshman class. Contestants may
write on either side of the question. The
articles must not be more than two
thousand words long, and will be due at
the end of the third week of the fall term.
The preliminary speaking will be held in
the Baptist church in the fourth week of
the term. Each man will be restricted
to five minutes and will speak something
argumentative or oratorical, either origi-
nal or selected.
The six contestants who rank highest,

The Berlin company's New Mill.

Situated on the west bank of the Kenne-
bee in FarIningdale, just one mile from
Gardiner, is one of the finest saw mills in
the New England states in regard to ma
chiner and ways of handling the lum-
Der. The mill started up Monday for the
first time, employing sixty to seventy
five men. 1t is IT'S feet long, 40 feet wide
and two stories high with basement or
cellar running the whole length.
Z The plant was first begun in the fall of
'95, and work was continued until the
death of G. W. Phillips in the winter
which caused the completion to be put off
for some time. When the flood OF March
i, 1896, came, it partly demolished the
upper end, but it was again soon re-
paired. In October, 1896, the plant was
purchased by the Berlin Mills company
and last April the work Of completion
was again taken up and since then it has
been pushed until now it has started up
for the first time, running full crew
and putting out &C, 900 feet of lumber a
day. The starting up SO soon was caused
by the destruction of the company's plant
at Berlin Mills, recently.
On the west side of the building is the
boiler and engine room, 76x36 feet, con-
structed of brick with an iron roof. Two
large boilers of 200 horse power each fur
nish the steam, sawdust and wood being
used for fuel, to run the large engine of
$50 horse power, especially constructed for
saw mill purposes.
In the basement are two shafts for run
ming the machines of the first floor
shingle, clapboard, edgings and 1athes
al of modern construction. On this floor
is the shaft for the lumber mill proper,
and many pulleys there are on it.
The planning mill connected with it, is
just below the engine room Sox40 feet,
and has two planners, one surface and one
for both sides of the board.
Throughout the mill is supplied by au-
tomato sprinklers and the water, from
the city works, is supplied by pump
capable of 1000 gallons per minute. The
hydrants are on the grounds, handy in
case of fire.

Churehmen in Portland will be pleased
to know that it is expected that the
Rev. Mr.. Newton, rector of the church of
the Good Shepherd, ST. Louis, is expect
ed to visit Portland during the last two
weeks in August. Mr.. Newton's high
social prestige and vivacious manners
and charm in society. caused him to be

gives him very impressive appearance
as priest and as a preacher he is elo-
quent.

may be invited to fill the pulpit at St.

tually helpless in their hands. 1t was
difficult to keep ones head and temper
under the situation but if wished to
get the children and get out alive there
was no other thing to do. Why, as was
washing my hands at the sink in the
house at Jackson's Hole one great
strapplng fellow came up and after an in
sulting remark hit me a blow that BACKED
both eyes," Mr.. Sargent succeeded in
getting the children. 1t had been claimed
that their father abused them. On their
uncle asking them as to the truth OF the
story they all denied it and said he had
always been most kind to them.
But the trouble didn't end with getting
away from jackson S Hole. The sheriff
of that county sent to the sheriff of the
county where they were to take the train
East asking him to hold Mr.. John Sar-
gent He did so for day or two but as
the sheriff who sent the request did not
show up or send any papers giving
grounds for arrest the other sheriff said
that he could see no reason for holding
him and the party took the train and left.
Mr.. Sargent says the property remains
in Wyoming in charge of man named
Jones who he got to take up his residence
there as keeper. If he had nots@.there
wouldn't have been stick left, for several
times parties have been there to pillage
the ranch but were deferred from the fact
that Jones was in possession. Mr.. John
Sargent and his children expected to take
the New York boat this week for home.
Another and additional reason for the
treatment of Mr.. John Sargent is said to
have been that he was 'gold" man and
made strong gold speeches before election
while all the people in the vicinity were
Silyerites.

million visitors. This is undoubtedly the
largest and most instructive geological
exhibit in existence The cat tribe from
lion and tiger to leopard and puma are
fully represented. There is no end of
bears, grizzly, polar, black and cinnamon;
and monkeys are as thick as in South

reasons will pitch his tent at Rigby.
The Zoo will be brought to Portland

way cars.
Chiquita is but twenty-six inches tall,
as handsome as doll, as accomplished
as Chatauquan graduate, and sings like
