and each takes her place in the great room
where the fish undergo their nrst prepara-
ton. Here the sardines are spread upon
the table and sprinkled with salt. lnen
they are cleaned, and when JnaU operaClol
is finished they are sort by nIoie IN; ,sye
according to their size and carried INTO
another part of the establishment, whele

upon wire nets, called girls, ana pun ouC
to dry in the open air. II the weatner -

impossible. and the fish spoil and be-
come worthless, except for fertilizer.
This serious Inconvenience has been
avoided lately by the construction OF q
mechanical drier, a sort OF Immense ven

to strong current of air, ana lmIneolate'
" afterward. whila still upon the girls,
they are plunged into tanks OF boiling
olive oil. This bath lasts from three to
five minutes. according to the size OF tine
fish. In order that the olive oil may re-
tain its natural taste, the tanks DO not
come in direct contact with the nre, put
are heated by steam buDeS. AAeor tnio
cooking, the sardines, still upon the girls
are left to cool. and when cold, the work
of placing them in boxes is begun. mat

The boxes are carried to the oiling room !,
where the last manipulation consists OF
filling them with OIL 1t is in this part
of the establishment that the tomato sauce
and the spices are placed in the boxes
which give to the French preparation OF
sardines their universal renown Ihen
the boxes are closed. Little wagons RIM
ming on tramway bring the boxes to the
soldering room, where about thirty work
men with soldering irons seal up tne
boxes.
In order to destroy the microbes the
boxes are plunged into boiling water ana
allowed to remain there during the time
prescribed in the formula. When taken
from the water they are dried in sawdust
and finally inspected If one little flaw In
the soldering appears the box is at once
thrown aside. When the boxes are all
pronounced good they are p 1T into cases
of 100 each, and it is in tuis way that
they reach the consumers.
In any one of those important estaolish-
ments the sardines are prepared and ex-
ported ten hours after coming Eout OF the
water.
Gourmets should never eat newly pre-
pared sardines. They have neither the
perfume nor the flavor of those Whlch
have lain in the boxes for year.

Probate Court Bonds Are Not Exempt
by Revenue Laws.
ESPECIAL rc THE PRESS!

ESPECIAL TC THE PRESS!
Bath, August 25.-In the Supreme court
today Judge Fogler rendered his decision
in the revenue stamp case heard last
week. This was petition by an ad-
min1strator for writ of mandamus to
require the judge of probate to accept
bond given upon license for the sale
of real estate, having no revenue stamp
affixed, upon the ground that the ex-
cepting clause in that section OF the
stamp act relating to bonds included
such instruments and that this bond
was therefore exempt. The court denied
the writ and dismissed the petition. This
decision sustains the position taken by
the judge OF probate, namely, that reye-
nue. stamps upon such bonds are essential,
and is insaccordance with recent rulings
of the commissioner of internal revenue.
Court adjourned finally today after q
term of nine days. While there were not
many trials there was considerable bust
ness dispatched. This was Judge Bogler.s
first term in Sagadahoc county, and his
unfailing courtesy and fairness as pre- sid
ing justice won for him the warm praise
of every one.

RIVERTON PARK.

The weather has been unpropitious for
a good deal of this week at Riverton, and
it is peculiarly unfortunate, because the
entertainment is of an exceptionally excel
lent character The most talk is made by
the wonderful exhibition of sleight OF
hand given by Prof. Floyd and his
charming wife. These people made hit
two or three years ago, at the time Of
their first appearance in Portland, and
their annual visit has been eagerly looked
forward to each year. This season they
come with new programme OF mysteries
In other members of the company those
who patronize the park Will lind plenty
of entertainment. Smith and Doran are
doing q very fine triple bar act, one that
places them in the front rank of athletic
actors. Miss Horner is dancing horn
pipes and jigs much to the delight Of
those who enjoy that kind of entertain
ment. while Mr.. Willard is perfectly
paralyzing the audience with the laugh
tor producing sketch which he is giving.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
McCULLUM'S THEATRE.

r - - -~~~->~~r~-s
The attendance at McCullum's theatre
yesterday was unusually large, in the
evening the house being completely filled.
Owing to private business claiming
the attention of Mr.. Pascoe his part was
assumed yesterday by James Horne, a
Portland fayorite, who re-joined the Nc
Cullum company Wednesday. Mr.. Horne
assumed the character at three hours
notice and gave a most finished and
artistic performance. Mr.. Horne will
assume the part during the balance Of
the engagement and his many friends
are sure to give him royal greeting "a
Flag of Truce" is strong dramatic
play, and although the title suggests
war drama, it cannot properly be includ-
ed in that class, for the scenes are all
typical of any New England village. as
are also its characters, but the departure
to the front of two brothers, and their
experiences while away furnish just
enough military incident, without any
actual warfare. to make the play very
attractive in these stirring times, while
the development of the plot is SO absorb
ing, and the splendid company all rem
der such natural and Intelligence i'm
presentations, that it is not hard for the
auditor to imagine the events witnessed
as occurring in real life. This is one of
the chief charms of the production, for
no member of the cast Is over precise,
but all enact their role with complete
understanding of its requirements.
Next week the attraction is to be the
great emotional drama 'Dora," and an
other7dramatic treat may be anticipated.
q THE GEM THEATRE.
The Iron Master is doing an immense
business at the Gem. OF course the heavy
rains for the past two days would have
a tendency to make the attendance light,
but it is not SO, the cosy little Gem is
filled to OVERLOOKING with the society
people of Portland and vicinity. Mr..
Douglass fine company of players are
seen to good advantage in this play.
There is much to praise in the plot of the
piece and nothing to1oondemn. 1t is a
triumph of true merit over shallowness.
The ladies display some elegant Co.'S
TUNES in this play and the stage settings
are among the best ever seen here. The
production is one of great merit and de-
serves the generous patronage it re-
ceives from the people.
The season will be extended one week
longer into September than it was in
tended at the opening. This will be good
news to the people of the city as we'll as
the islanders as it will have tendency
to have the oottagers remain in Septem-
Der, which is one of the pleasantest
months of the year.

to direct the reception Of the First Maine
regiment on it's return from Chicka-
manga met at the post office yesterday
morning. and received the assistance OF
Gen. Conner. Acting Mayor Parkyan and
many representative ladies.
There will be no salute Of can non, but
the church bells will probably ring and
the regiment will be marched to camp
escorted by the batteries aud the Augusta
band.
The urgency of the sick cases has called
the attention Of the workers more par
ticularly to them, but with the assistance
of the public no doubt arrangements can
be made today for proper reception OF
the whole regiment,
