SOFT DRINKS DOWN IN MAINE.

in the Prohibition Yankee State.
From the Bangor News.
The soda water and general soft drink
business must be profitable. Several new
and expensive fountains have been put
into Bangor stores this spring. Some of
these fountains cost as much as 500, it is
std. Time was when any kind of a foun-
tain would do in the business, but nova
days the most stylish outfit catches the
trade, and the rivalry in the matter of
appearances makes business for the people
who construct the little castles out of vari-
colored marble, onyx and nickel which are
called soda fountains. In the more or
less good old days also people were salts
fled with vanilla, strawb'ry and lemon"
but now they want all kinds-a million
kinds of flavors.
1t would take half column to enumer-
at all the different kinds and havors of
soda that are now sod in Bangor, not to
mention the many kinds of soft drinks"
The old havors of soda are still in demand,
but generally the up to date customer
wants fancy drink, like the various sher-
bets, ice cream soda, egg phosphate or a
fruit punch The thirsty man who knows
them all generally orders ginger ale or
lemon phosphate. The root beers are al
most countless in name, but nearly ali
alike in substance and taste. Most of
them are sticky and oversweet, increasing
rather than quenching the thirst, but
there are some that are very pleasant and
wholesome.
Years ago most every kind of soft drink
sold at 10 cents, but now they are nearly
all cents. The best known soft drinks of
twenty to thirty years ago in Bangor were
oil
These may yet be used to some extent,
but they are not noticeable among the re-
freshments served at the marble-slabbed
and fiOwer-bedecked temperance bars of
to-day. There have been many notable
improvements in the manner of fasten-
ing the corks of the bottles in recent
years. The old pc and spruce beer bot
ties shoppers were held in place by stout
cords, fastened around the necks of the
bottles. Then a wire fastening came in
and now you will find your ginger ale
bottle stoppered with a little disk of tin,
crimped around a groove in the neck OF
the bottle. The tin disk has cushion OF
cork, which keeps the bottle air tight,
and the best of it all is that it can be re-
moved easily and quickly, with almost
any kind of an instrument, although it is
better to have the inexpensive opener that
is made for the purpose
1t is curious to note that the lemonade.
the genuine mixture of lemon juice sugar
and water-is seldom offered and seldom
called for at the soda counters. Perhaps
one reason is that lemonade can't be
made and kept on hand in quantities, like
most other drinks. without spelling. To
be good a lemonade must be made to or
der and drank on the spot; waiting takes
all the good out of it. In the regular
| barrooms, however, the lemonade is yet
and always will he a standard drink, as it
| is one of the very best.

BALL PLAYER BADLY HURT.
Death May Follow Blow Received
From n Pitched Ball.

Quitman, Ga. June 1.-THE Quitman
and Thomasville base ball team crossed
bats here this afternoon. Both teams are
playing professional men and the game to-
day was a hot one. The score stood II to
in favor of Thomasvllle. Townsville
defeated Quitman on the brownsville di-
almond last Thursday, which had aroused
Quitman. and the Quitman team had been
considerably strengthened for this game
and they had fully expected to win. The
score showed 8 TO in favor of QuHman
at the end of the eighth inning, but Quit
man's team got ratified and lost the game
Claude Anderson Of Atlanta, who was
playing third on the Qutman team, was
struck on the ear with a thrown ball when
at the bat in the second inning. The ball
was pitched by Carrot of Charleston, s.
c., and came with dreadful force An
derson was knocked fat and was carried
of the field bleeding profusely al both
ears. He is unconscious a. this hour Is
o'clock. Drs. Jelks & Jelks, the attend
ing physicians, say they hope for his re-
coveS', but that he will at least lose his
hearing. Anderson is being we'll cared
for at a frst-class hotel, and has the
best of medical attention.
A special train came down from Thorn
asville and brought upward of 300 from
that city to see the game. Thomasville's
pretty women were greatly i'm evidence.

SITTING AFFAIRS OF STATE.

Owned by the Geological Depart
mcnt for which 1t Had No Work.
A summary of the weeks work OF
the COmnittec.
Atlanta. Ga, June 11-There is no tell
ing what or hoy much is going to be de-
veloped by the Blslock investigating com
n1ittee 1t is safe to say that the next
legislature will have more work on it's
hands than any that has preceded it for
many wears That does not mean that
Georgia will drop from her proud posi-
tion Of being the best governed state in
the country, but it does mean that the
committee is finding errors in the admin
istration OF the departmental affairs suf
ficient TO justify its existence and the in
vestigation now going forward. It al
journed to-day to meet Monday and was
last engaged with the agricultural depart
ment The oil inspectors ard the oil
companies whom it is their duty to in
spect were last under consideration. 1t
is learned that the state has lost a great
deal Of revenue, amounting to several
thousand dollars, through the failure of
oil companies doing business in the state
20 pay the tax required of them by law.
II is said they always pay a part. but
not the whole, and that oil is being
dumped in the state regardless of the le-
gal requirements
OF course, the committee is a star cham
Der affair, and II the state of affairs above
outlined is true it will not be tolerated.
The committee is destined, it seems, to
create stir. and therefore the following
summary OF its first weeks work will in
Jerest the public, although some of the
facts have already appeared in the Morn
ing News.
In the geological department the COM
xnittee has found that four horses were
owned and being boarded at the city sta
bles to do altogether unnecessary work.
These horses had been ordered sold. Prof
Yeates, the head of this department, had
oveTdrawn $l54 on one quarter and such
has been the looseness in keeping tho
books that this discrepancy was I'M
known even to him. 1t has just been al
lowed to lapse from time to time, it seems
and the discovery showed that methodical
ment.
1t was discovered that out of 127 state
banks, only % of the presidents of these
institutions have compiled with the special
tax which levies $40 a. year. This dates
back ten years, it is claimed, and brings
$4,000 or more into the state treasury 1t
is claimed that this condition is tracable
10 the csrelessness of county officials
1t has also been ascertained that some
people and interests have returned from
one-hfth TO one-tenth of their holdings,
and an effort will be made to correct this
state OF things.
One item that shows the way things are
being managed is the little question of
ice. 1t is said that the state librarian pays
81 per hundred for ice, whereas other de-
partments pay 81 and 80 cents. The com
nlittee will find out why 1t is that all de-
partments do not pay the same rate.
When the committee reaches the public
buildings some interesting developments
are looked for.

The University Trustees Very Apt to
Vote In Favor of 1t.

Athens, Ga, June 1.-THE question of
admitting women to the university will
undoubtedly be settled at this session of
the board of trustees. Four young ladies'
have applied for admission into the uni
versity, and the trustees will now have
to act one way or the other.
Miss Rosa Woodbury. of Savannah. a
talented young teacher of Lucy Cobb In
sttute, wishes to complete her scientific
studies. Miss Susie Gerdine of Athens
wishes to do likewise They ask to be al
lowed 10 take the degree of bachelor of
science.
Miss Eva Cobb OF Athens and Miss Es-
tell hin OF Warrenton have applied for
admission to the law class. the latter de-
string to actually practice law in the state.
1t is believed that the board will admit
women to the university.
The legislature win have to provide ac-
eommodations for the girls if they come
in any large numbers
The Red and Black. the university Jour
