Bangor Festival Notes.

The big Auditorium in Bangor looks
as if ''good smart working" would be
necessary to finish it up in time for the
Festival next week Wednesday. "That' s
what we are going to have" said work
man to visitor, who expressed surprise
at it's condition.
This large structure is at the entrance
of the Eastern Fair grounds, on the
Hampden road, is painted gray and
white, with a short, square tower at each
corner on the front, and the words
Auditorium, 1872 in raised black let
tiers on the rounded space between. 1t is
all finished in light wood, with innumer.
able electric lights along its rafters, and
Is supposed to seat about $500. So far the
seats are not finished, only begun for the
chorus. and the balcony, which goes
around three sides of the building. Even
that is more than can be said about the
floor accommodations, which now has
nothing resembling q seat. No doubt,
however, the 'igood, smart working" will
accomplish everything in good time.

The South Portland Sewer.

The bids for laying the pipe and COM
pletlng the sewer on Stanford street,
South Portland, were opened Saturday
afternoon at 2 O'Clock at the office of E.
=. Jordan. the civil engineer at Portland.
Ihe contract calls for sewer to be built
beginning at High street, at its intersect-
Ion with Stanford street and extending
southerly through Stanford street, dis
tance of about 1900 feet, and to lay such
manholes and accessories as the selectlnen
determine. There were six bidders but
three of them did not make formal bids
so they were not considered. The-bids
considered were from the following
John H. Flanagan of Portland, SSl1
for sewer, and for ledge work, 80 cent
per running foot.
John CULVER of Portland, SSH for sew
er, and for ledge work 60 cents per run
ming foot.
Angelic Lorello of Deering offered a.
bid of S1256 for the entire job.
The bids of Messrs. Flanagan and
CULVER were alike on sewer work, but
as there was difference in the bid for
ledge work the contract was awarded to
Mr.. Flanagan for being the lowest bidder.

Electric Road Tracks in Yarmouth,

The town OF Yarmouth is in Ia state of
considerable excitement over the laying
of the electric road track In the main
street. The selectmen, in the beginning,
decided that the company should lay a
girder rail and pave between the rails.
At largely attended town meeting sew
eral weeks ago this action of the select
men was sustained by large majority.
But about two weeks ago another meet
ing was held, and this action was re-
versed, the understanding being that the
company should only be required to macad-
amize between the rails. But this action
has not proven conclusive, and a town
meeting has been called for next Friday
to see If the action of the last meeting
may not be resoinded, and the original
stipulations as to.paving revived.
The main street of Yarmouth and Var
mouthville is long and busy thorough
fare, and the people are much interested
in the question.

THE SOLE SURVIVOR.
A Sailor Who Was on the Constitution
When She Fought the Guerriere.

| New York, Dot. 6.-Mayor Storing had
notable visitor yesterday afternoon in
the person of Maj. William Fl. Garland,
an ancient mariner, 95 years old, the sole
survivor of the great battle between the
| Constitution and the Guerrero, which
was fought on Aug. 10, 1912.
II remember the battle well,' said
| Maj. Garland, in answer to question
asked by the Mayor. "though was only
as powder monkey and took as much
pride in that victory-which was won
after half hours most daring fighting
as any of the men and officers. Then I
was in the fight with the Java four
months after, when we served her as we
had the Guerriere.
II know am the sole survivor Of that
crew of the Constitution, and have rea-
son to believe that 1 am the only survi-
vor Of the navy of 1879.

panied Lafayette to France on the Bran

Helena. He spoke to me in good Eng
| lish, and laying his hand on my head he
| said: My young man, l hope your life
will be q more happy and successful one
than mine has BEEN
II knew President Monroe very well,
| for he was quite intimate with my father,
who, like myself, was born and reared
in Virginia, and I think l remember MIN

Kansas Farmers Trick.

A fact well known to farmers is that
the rows Of grains on an ear of corn
are always even In number. There may
be eight, ten, twelve, fourteen or six
ten rows, but never nine, eleven thir-
teen or fifteen. This fact and the
knowledge Of 1t cost several Kansas
farmers very dearly. The Atchison
Champion says that a farmer who
raises a small crop Of corn, and who has
always been regarded as of rather
weak intellect, concluded that he saw
a chance to make some bets. Early in
the season he carefully scraped from a
dozen ears Of corn just formed one Of
the rows. The corn rlpened and the
remaining rows grow together, so as
to hide the evidence Of the one removed
having existed. Then the farmer Of
fered to bet either that the others
could not or that he could find ears
Of corn with odd rows. He had NO
trouble in getting some very good bets
on the latter proposition, but, of course,
none ON the first. He then found the
ears he had fixed, and made as much
money on the dozen ears as he did on
the entire crop Of corn. Now, any
suggestion Of corn with odd rows is
provocation for a fight in that neigh
borhood.

RELIcs OF NoRsEMEN.

Excavations In Cambridge, Mass, Indicate
Lief Ericsson Landed There.
For a number of years before the
death Of Prof. Eben N. Horsford OF
Harvard college, he was deeply inter
ested in the alleged discoveries OF
America by the Norsemen about the
year 1000. He published number Of
books in which he attempted to prove
that the Norsemen visited the present
site Of Boston and that they sailed in
to the Charles river. Since his death
his work has been continued by his
daughter, and many new discoveries
have been made.
For the past month Dr. Valtyr Gud-
mundsson has been making excavations
in and around Cambridge, and he be-
lleves that he has dicovered relics OF
the Norsemen. Prof. Horsford long
ago marked location as the site Of
Lief Erlcsson's house, but his state
ments regarding 1t have not been con-
clusively proven. The ruins found by
DR.. Gudmundsson seemed to be of Ice-
landic origin, but for the fact that
bricks and bits of glazed pottery were
found among the stones and the bricks
and pottery could not have been left
by Norsemen, as they did not make
either 900 years ago. The ruins un-
earthed by DR.. Gudmundsson will be
preserved by the Boston park board.

Unfortunate situation.

G. J. made the acquaintance Of a
young lady during the past season.
They have exchanged letters. The
young lady says she would like to con-
tinue the acquaintance, but, at the
same time, declares that the young
mans presence causes her serious dis
tress of mind-some unexplainable eff
feet which she Is conscious of but can
not account for. G. ]. would like to
know just what to do, and why he
should cause the young woman such
unhappiness. Answer: The situation
is so imperfectly defined that 1t is
difficult to give an explicit answer.
However, judging from the facts stat
ed, it would seem that the young wo"
man is somewhat given to morbid fam
cles, and does not exactly understand
what she means or feels. If she ia
frank enough to tell the young man
that his presence distresses her, he
might be quite as frank and tell her
that other young women do not feel
in that way, and therefore he will seek
his society elsewhere.
