A Massachusetts, dead shot" who
boosted that four birds" was his mini
mum bag when he was on the trail
secured the forests of a Maine town.
and wasted much valuable lead the
other day, in an effort to secure some
OF the wary cartridges that abounded
there. He was about to give up the
hunt in disgust when a young boy
came along with fine string of birds
swinging from the barrel of his gun
1t took but moment to exchange A
good price in silver for the game, and
the sportsman returned home amid the
hearty applause of his friends.to whom
he made very pretty bow as he
placed his load upon the table. But
the tale does not end here, and it is
awful to state that for the next few
days the young man and his friends
made desperate efforts to feast uncom-
plainingly from decomposed fowl and
now the hunter has the reputation of
being dead game SPORT
Not'for many years, say the hunters,
have cartridges been as scarce as they
are this year. The continued cold, wet
weather of the spring and summer pre-
vented the eggs from Matching in many
cases, and will probably be several
years before these game birds become
numerous again in our Maine forests.
Portland people are rejoicing and

some of the finest steamers owned by
the line have been designated for this
service.

Somerset Reporter: Apropos to the
well established fact that industries
located in a town have a decidedly
beneficial effect upon real estate, an in
stance is cited in Gardiner, where "a
man who had nice snug house to sell
could get an offer of but $500 for it and
held it. When the shoe factory was es-
tablished in Gardiner he sold it for
$4,000. Here was a direct benefit this
man received of $500 or 80 per cent. on
this one piece of property. This man
could have subscribed $500 to have Sc
cured that factory to his city-yes
given it absolutely-and then have
made clean 5000 by the operation. In
SkOwhegan today there is one-half of
a building on Water street, which be-
fore the advent of the shoe factory and
the extension of the Coburn wooden
mills, the writer of this was offered for
$250O. 1t went some time without a
purchaser at this price. After the shoe
factory was built this same property
after a few hundred dollars were laid
out in repairs, was sold for $4,000 and
has proved a good investment at that
price. This is but one of many in
stances which could be cited right here
in our own town, and they all show
the magic effect of manufacturing
plants upon the value of real estate. 's

Washington. June 11.-Speaker Reed
has recently been urged by many Repub-
lican Congressman to appoint commit
tee on foreign affairs TO consider the Gu
ban question also committee on bank.
ing and CURRENCY to consider the bauk-
ruptcy bill. The Speaker declines to ap-
point these COMMITTEES for the reason that
single deviation from the course out
lined by him would result in immediate
and insistent demands for the appoint
ment of other committees.
The Speaker.is determined that there
shall be 70 general legislation at this .ses-
sion of Congress If he can prevent it. He
is particularly opposed to ipdiscrlminate
private pension Legislation. He says that
every Northern member of the House has
private pension bills which he wants to
have passed, and he might as well ap-
point committee on pensions ..as COM
mittee on foreign affairs. Moreover,
there are many members asking for the
appointment OLA committee on coinage,
weights and measures because they want
TO bring up bills looking to the agitation
OF the silver question. Consequently,
the Speaker says that he will not deviate
from the course which he is pursuing.
