League Held in Bath.
ESPECIAL TO THE raEss.l


Bath, October 25.-At a meeting of the
Maine polo league held here today
great amount of business was transacted
nd the meeting was by all odds the most
harm onious and satisfactory that the
league has held since it was first orga-
,ized two years ago. Every one of the
tx cities ia the league was represented
,,lthe meeting and the greater part OF the
lay was passed in making out the sched-
ule. The Lewiston franchise which has
cen somewhat in doubt up to the present
time was awarded to Mr. Fred B, Kelsey
of Portland Mr.. Kelsey was present at
the nesting.
1t was voted that Portland, Bangor,
Rockland, Augusta and Bath open the
season on November 18th. Lewiston Will
not be able to commence as early as this
owing to the fact that the City hall in
Lewiston has been booked for the first
week in November for the Catholic fair.
I.ewiston's first game will be played in
Portland with the Portland team on No
vember 14th, aud their first game at home
will be the Wednesday following, Quite
a number of sporting goods houses had
representatives at the meeting and they
exhibited their stock of goods to the
managers and some Of them did good
business. Rockland's team is to wear
grey uniforms, Portland. maroon; Lew
iston, blue and white; Bath, blue; while
the colors of Bangor. Lewiston and Au-
gusta have not yet been announced.

Maine league should play any games with
clubs outside the Maine league without
the consent of the majority of the teams
in the league.
The following referees were elected to
serve during the coming season: Thomas
Conley, well-known all over the country
as the umpire of the National baseball
league; j. W. Kelley, who refereed so
successfully in Maine last year, and

ture

ditions are very promising for good sea-
son. Many players have already been
signsd and the others are as good as
signed. The make up of the teams is such
that the people of this state are assured
of seeing the best kind of polo this year.
Lewiston in having it's team managed
by Mr.. Fred j. Kelsey is very fortunate
and gets by the deal one of the best man
ayers in the league. Mr.. Kelsey was an
amateur polo player in the days when the
Portland team could not be touched in
New England. He is thoroughly con.
versant with every detail of the sport,
knows the capacity of every man in the
business. is a bright clean. gentlemanly
fellow, and one who will give Lewiston
the best polo season 1t has ever seen. He

THE HOUSEHOLD.
The Popular Brass Bedstead-An Extern
sion Woodbox-Stewed Lobster
la Creole.

The present season shows as yet few
novelties in arrangements for bedrooms.
The brass bedstead remains the most
popular choice. It is now generally fur
nished with an old fashioned valance,
as it is in England, and drapery at the
head in the form Of half tester. Some
times the bed drapery is attached to a
frame which is part of the bedstead,
but more often it is now suspended from
hook or tufted board hung from the
ceiling directly over the head of the
bed. There are several advantages in
the latter method, as it does not add to
the weight of the bedstead and may be
more easily taken down and shaken free
from dust when it is swung from the
ceiling than when it is part of the
bedstead.
Tt is not desirable that all the tSim-
mings of brass bedstead match. They
should harmonic, however. AS rule,
the valance matches the drapery of the
tester and is of sheer material over a
heavier foundation, while the counter
pane and round bolster should be of a
heavier material, like tapestry, figured
silk or plain. Sometimes the drapery
and entire bed are of pure white, but it
is now the exception rather than the
rule when pure white is chosen for a
brass bedstead furnished with valance
and drapery.
A tasteful and inexpensive way to
fit out brass bedstead, if the work be
done at home, is with dotted muslin
draperies and picturesque figured silk
counterpart and bolster. The silk for
these is imported in the patterns of an
tique embroideries and other designs
suitable for the purpose. Silks with
white ground and a pattern of conven-
tional flower designs in medley of col
ors are often used for beds, and there
are also silks in monotone patterns of
pale mistletoe green, delicate blue or
yellow on pure white or cream grounds.
The drapery of the tester and the
valance in all cases should match the
groundwork of the counterpart. Pure
white is generally preferred to an ivory
or cream tint on beds. With silk boil
ster and Counterpart in a medley of col
ors on pure white background, pure
white muslin figured with some small
design, like tiny hower-de luce, little
crescents or similar designs is used to
drape the tester and form the valance.

UNANSWERED PRA YERS.

Like some schoolmaster, kind in being
stern,
Who hears the children crying DER their
states
And calling ssHeIp me, MASTER" yet helps
not,
Since in his silence and refusal lies
Their self development, SO God ab1des
Unheeding many prayers. He is not deaf
To any cry sent up from earnest hearts;
He hears, and strengthens, when he must
deny.
He sees us weeping over LIES hard sums;
But should he dry the tears and give the
key,
What would it profit US when school were
And not one lesson mastered?
What a world
Were this if all our prayers were granted
In famed Pandora's box were such vast
ills
ASH in human hearts. Should our de-
sires,
Voiced one by one, in prayer, ascend to
And come back as events, shaped to our
wish,
What chaos would result!
In my fierce youth
I sighed out breath enough to move
fleet.
Voicing wild prayers to heav'n for fancied
boons
Which Lwere denied; and that denial
bends
Ny knee to prayers of gratitude each day
OF my maturer life. Yet from those
prayers
I rose always regirded for the strife
And conscious of new strength. Pray on
sad heart!
That which thou pleadest for may not be
given,
But in the lofty altitude where souls
Who suplicate Gods grace are lifted,
there
Thou shalt find help to bear thy future lot
W hitch is not elsewhere found.

For Damp Cellars.

A new method for DISCRIMINATING
mold from cellars or damp rooms in the
house is to blow powdered unslaked
lime on the walls and into all the crew
ices and joints. A small hand bellows
is best suited for this work. If the walls
are not damp enough to hold the lime,
sprinkle water on them first. Then the
lime will adhere and Stake, killing all
germs and organisms that form the
mold. On the following day the lime
should be washed off, The cellar will
then be clean and sweet, and mold will
not form there again for year Or two.

SOLD HIS FTRT WIFE'S MONUMENT
TO MARRY ANOTHER.

The Barre Times tells this story of a
thrifty Vermont yankee: A little
| over year ago prosperous looking
old farmer from beyond Mansfield
came into the sheds one day and want
ed to see about a monument for his
lately departed wife. He was shown
numerous designs, and concluded
that one costing shout 5000 was what
he wanted. but before he had departed
he purchased an urn that had been
left on the company's hands, and
which they were glad to dispose of
for $40. The farmer thought that
would answer for the present and he
said that later he would come and
purchase a monument. He was ev-
identity SO well pleased with the urn
he did not want monument, for no
thing was heard of him until along
about June this year. Then came
letter informing the firm that he had
tired of the urn as marker for his
wife's last resting place and asking
if they would not take it back and
refund the money.
Hoping to secure an order for a
monument from him to take it's place,
they replied that they would, and
they did. But no order for a mon
ument came, and when man from
that section of the state was seen by
one of the firm they inquired after
the farmer, his health, etc., and was
S1,fo onI hot l. I0l
urn on his wife's grave and with the
proceeds taken out a license a nd
married another woman.
