AN UNWELCOME GUEST.
This NOtcl-CIerk Cannot Re
Blamed for Ejecting So
Troublesome q Visitor.

After the battle of Waterloo, when the
allied forces lay in and around Brussels, every
conceivable sort Of coin was in circulation.
One day an Irish soldier walked into hotel
with British shilling and asked the clerk
if it would go. Good for anything l have"
was the reply. The Irishman took him at
his word and ordered dinner. When he had
gotten outside of an astonishing amount Of
wine and victuals he rendered the shilling in
payment. Explanations followed, and the
clerk, taking in the situation, said,
"Here, my good man, misery loves com.
pany. Keep the shilling, my friend, and
play the same game on our neighbor, down
the street" AS the shilling was pocketed
the owner coolly replied: Cant, my friend,
worked it on him yesterday, and he sent
me to you to-day" Now this anecdote has
nothing earthly to do with Mr.. G. Carl
Smith, clerk at the Williamson House,
Lebanon, N. II. We merely introduce him
in this manner so that the readers of this
paper, who have regular visits from relatives
of the guest in question, will know how to
dispose of the intruder. Read what Mr..
Smith says: II was troubled for year or

The New Landmarks in Boston.

In these days of progress even Boston
with its renowned ancient landmarks is
making new era for itself in every line.
We will never forget the history con-
nected with the building OF Bunker Hill
Monument, and while every generation
will visit and perhaps climb this memora-
BILE shalt, likewise the people for years to
come will pay tribute to that marvellous
and time-saving institution, the subway.
This enterprise is one Of which much has
been written, but read of it time and
again andyou can form but vague idea
of its magnitude nor the convenience
which the public derives from 1t.
Boston's old buildings stood foremost
as structures of architectural beauty,
but its goth century buildings and struc-
lures like Trinity, the New Old South, the
Public Library and the Ames and Trem-
ont buildings and score Of lofty sky
scrapers, so called, stand as gigantic
monuments perpetuating the present
CENTURY DIS one Oh ADVANCEMENT.
Likiwise remember the barn-like and
uncomfortable playhouses and compare
them with the palatial and comfortable
theaters Of today, and in theaters Boston
has no equal. The million and hall
playhouse OF Keiths is magnificent in
every detail, and the entertainment is the
best money can provide.
One of Boston's most famous educa-
tional institutions is the Food Fair,
which sin session at Mechanics Building;
here is to be found everything pert aiming
to iood products, their manufacture and
uses. Besides the elaborate and pleasing
displays of foods there is connected with
the exhibition household institute. and
the knowledge to be gained from attend
ance upon it can hardly be estimated.
Following custom adopted some
years ago, the Boston & Maine Railroad
has arranged for low.rate fall excursions
to Boston from all points of the system
The rates are exceptionally low, and the
limits on the tickets are of sufficient
length to allow patrons to participate in
the pleasures and enjoyments as only
Boston can off,r.
There will be an excursion on Thurs
day, Oct. FL, from stations between
Newport and Wells River inclusive. In
qure of ticket agents tor bills and infor-
nation.

The heavy demands of Turkey were a

Gold receipts from the empire attracted
attention, 9210,000 being received at the

in supplies. Today's fractional advance
in London discounts is said to be due
to pending new loans which are likely
to absorb money. A more potent factor
at the moment, however, is the fact
that eS00,000 county council bills are

AS stated in these columns on Sun

the excavation for the mill, that the ore
zone was much larger than at first sup
posed, and that the dolomite lime for a
distance of nearly 100 feet on the foot
wall side of the vein was good milling
ore, and this was shown when the
crust or Gaping was removed.
This discovery adds greatly to the
value of the property, which was con-
sidered as being a big proposition be-
fore, and now it is believed, as de-
Velopment work progresses, that the
mine will come TO the front as one of
the marvels Of the age.

he has good cause to be- as he had
many difficulties to contend with before
he was able to demonstrate to his asso-

has at last crowned his efforts, how

New York, May 17.-With the excep-
ton of a few weak spots in the market.
due TO causes peculiar TO the stocks
affected the market was strong all
around today and even the intimations
from Washington that early action in
the senate on Cuban belligerency was
probable, did not weaken the tone of
speculation.
The dealings on the exchange, how
ever, still continue almost wholly pro-
fessional and exceedingly restrictive in
volume and the movements of prices
reflect little more than board room
manoeuvering for short turns and no
very definite opinion on general condi-
tions.
One-third of the transactions on the
exchange were in Chicago Gas and
Sugar, the former leading the market
in buying movement which advanced
the price pa on the day.
Sugar was weak early but scored
net gain of "a fraction on the day.
Fractional gains were very general

stocks on arbitrage early but later be-
came buyer and il is estimated bought
some 10000 shares more than were sold.
The market displayed little feature but
prices were held and a firm under

usually narrow, and but little atten-
ton was paid to the prominent issues.
The aggregate sales were $3.50 900.
Governments ruled heavy and receded

were $4,000. State bonds were more
