GENERAL WASHINGTON'S
ROR."

However exalted the character and
services of a public man may be, he is
still open to the vile attacks Of a Parry
and partisan press.
When President Washington, IN 1873,
negotiated with Great Britain what
was known as the Pen treaty, there
was a howl of angry vituperatlOn
against him.
James Schauler, in his account OF the
incident, in his history of the United
States, repeats what other historians
have written. He says:
"The opposition press bemired Wash
ington more than ever before; charg-
ing him, inasmuch as he had ratified it,
with political hypOcracy, and kingly
demeanor; and one who, in Bach's
Aurora, styled himself A Calm OBJ
server, went so far in a foolish legal
bubble over the technical quarterly
division of the Presidents salary, as
to hold him up as one who had over
drawn it. a public defaulter."

more light on the subject OF the Diet

Even if the doctors know something
about it, and they surely do. they are
not called upon to preach a general
study Of the best diet, any more than
the lawyers are under Obligations TO
preach common sense to their clients
and avoid litigations.

in the ears Of their welI-to-dO patients,

tonic race has a hunger for meat, as
it has for strong drink, and it is only

is so little appreciation of excellent
! vegetables that no effort is made tC

FLAG RAISING.

If the representatives OF the United
States have regard. and we feel sure
they do. for the feelings of the natives.
and the Hawaiian born, they will, on
the day the American flag is raised,
cause the Hawaiian flag TO be raised
also in some suitable place, with the
distinct understanding that it IN no
way affects the political situation. II
is now conceded that it may lawfully
be the territorial flag, and as such it
will remain, at least for some time, a
source of pleasure TO the natives. Inc
dominant power OF the Federal gov
eminent is so vast, that no evil can
come Of it, and under the peculiar cir
cumstances of Annexation, a gracious
act would be done.

weeks ago received such unqualified praise
from the press, ssis to have charge Of the
grand chorus at the patriotic entertain
ment to be given tho evening of Fourth

and all the other choruses in town, or
individuals who sing to join in making
up the required number. He especially
wants singers familiar with Keller S

Chandler's full baDd and six By the
chorus accompanied by the band, and
these will be superbly illustrated by the

have this matter in charge request all
who will take part to be sure and at

CAPE ELECTRlCS.
Decided Improvements To Be Made on
the Lines

The improvements which are contem-
plated. and those now in progress, along
the line of the Cape Elizabeth eleotrlcs by
the managers of the road are matters just
now of great public interest. and referring
to these, MIR. Bowles, private secretary OF
Vice President and General Manager
Krutz, in an interview yesterday with
a representative of the PRESS, outlined
some Of the work which was being done
to We the public the very best OF service
at an early date.
1t is proposed to equip the road with
private telepu one service and signal
system. There will be established six to
ten stations a,ong the road from the main
office in the city to the power house,
theatre and casino with several stations
at intermediate points. The object is to
insure prompt and reliable service to
avoid accidents and also annoying delays
The road is about to install a block
signal system, which will prevent the
meeting of cars on single track. The
company has just ordered a dozen sets OF
new springs from the Bemis Car COM
pany of Springfield, Mass. This spring
has just been brought out. and while it
does not detract from the easy riding of
the car, it is much longer and sitter than
the springs ordinarily in use and is in
tended to stop oscillation of the cars
while running at high speed. All of the
old summer cars have just been over
hauled and such wheels as show the
slightest wear are being replaced. 1t was
hardly expected by the management that
summer travel would open in full blast
before July l. and it is admitted that the
company was taken little by surprise
at the immediate demand put upon it,
but to meet the necessities of the case the
car gangs will be at once increased.
Track crews are now at work surfacing
and levelling up the track with view of
putting it in the best possible service for
the needs of the travelling public, and it
is the purpose of the managers to spare
no pains to meet the wants of the people.
A public telephone pay station has just
been placed in the casino building and
four new summer cars have been received
from the Jones Mandatory, Troy, n. Y.

PORTLAND AND BANGOR.
A New Steamboat Line May BE Estab-
Iished.

There is strong probability that new
steamboat line will be established be-
tween Portland and Bangor. The fine
steamer Salacia that has been running on
the Portland, Bath and Boothbay route
will be put on the new line if all goes
we'll. At the present the chief obstacle
lies in the difficulty Of procuring wharf
room in Bangor. 1t seems that the
eligible wharf room is controlled by the
Bangor and Boston Steamboat line, and
the Maine Central Railroad company. By
tho first of the coming week, however, it
is thought arrangements will be made so
that the line between the Forest and
Queen cities can go into operation. If
this line is established it will be a fine
thing for both cities and be of material
advantage to their business houses. The
Salacia is o new and fast propeller boat
built at Bath in 1896, and is 100 feet long,
26 feet beam, and has engines of 450 horse
power. She would make landings on her
new route, at Rockland, Camden, Belfast
and Bucksport. She has excellent accom-
modations for both passengers and
freight
