HOME, SWEET HOME.

A great singer had Just finished
singing Home, Sweet Home" and
many Of the audience were in tears.
1T is beautiful song" said a
girl to an older woman who sat next
to her, Yes, was the reply, "and
the sentiment to which it moves all
these people is beautiful. How
much happier the world would be if
every one had as much principle as
sentiment on the subject, and fol-
lows out plan, everyday rule of
making home sweet"
The girl turned thoughtfuly
away. She hardly heard the next
song. She was acknowledging to
herself that, in spite of her love for
her home, she made it UNHAPPY every
day of her life by her willfuluess
and quick temper. How many of
us really do our best to make home

relatives and friends of lost fishermen.
Practically all of the clergy of the city
We're in the pulpit and participated in the

The memorial list as read shows that

pursuit of their dangerous calling during
the year 1897. their average age being Il
years. There are IL widows and Is chill
dren left to mourn their loss. A large
percentage of the unfortunate fishermen
We're natives of the British provinces.
The sermon by Rev. s. b. hobbs was
particularly fitting To the occasion and
received the closest attention, especially
the portion which referred to some recent
publications by famous writer's. who have
cariCatured the hardy fishermen and their
homes, and the speaker thought that
Gloucester. which is living monument
to the skill of the fishermen. should rise
up in her might against such utteranCCS.
He said he noped some Legislative

owners of vessels to equip them with
proper safety devices for life saving. He
closed by paying a high tribute to the

which would connect with American
steamship lines at American ports, which
they have 50 far refused.
1t is believed To be the purpose Of the
Canadians To build Il railroad from Gran
ola to Lake Tesline, and there connect
directly with steamers for Dawson city.
and there is understood to be a bill pend
ing in the Canadian Parliament for the
chartering Of this project. Some of the
members Of the committee think that the
privilege Of the extension Of the bonded
limit should not be granted except for
reciprocal fayors from the Canadians.
# is also proposed to incorporate in the
"a me amendment 4 provision making tn"
granting Of the extension dependent upon
the extension of the bonded privilege TO

A Hot Time.

There was a hot time in our old city,
Saturday. 1t was the annual gathering
of icemen and hoboeS from every direc-
ton. and from the time the first train
came in in the morning until the last
went out at night. new arrivals We're re-
corded Every year when the ice com
panies pay their men, they proceed to
fill up on cheap liquor and then come to
Gardiner. This is what they did, Satur-
day. There were about POO in ALL and
after the police had assorted out the
crowd and the remainder had departed.
it was found that there were u in for dis
turbing the peace and Il for lodging. To
write description of them would take a
big volume, but in brief. there was every
thing from everywhere except our own
city. and not Il resident was arrested. In
the morning. eight were tried for dis
turbing the peace and five went on their
way rejoicing. while three went to Jail
for 80 days. The police did great work
Saturday, in handling the crowd and not
a fight was seen. ana only one of the l.
arrested offered any resistance. This. it
is hoped will be the last of this gang
for the season.

New Pumping Station at the Industrial School

Since the founding of the Industrial
School. some over 20 years ago, there
really never has been thoroughly ad
equate supply of water for the use of
the school for drinking and household
purposes. Two Wndmills have success
sively been used to supply the demand.
and although the service secured there
by was believed to be very Satisfac-
tory. their period of usefulness was. a
short time ago, found to be rapidly
passing.
Not many months ago the trustees Of
the school met and met. and came
finally to d full and complete realza
ton of the institution need of a more
adequate water supply; the present
admirable service being the result Of
their well-formed plans and theories
over beyond the brow of the hill
some rods east of the buildings of the
Industrial School, and only few steps
from Pleasant street place. may be
seen the neat circular building of the
new pumping station, from which spot
is pumped daily hundreds of gallons OF
purest spring water for the use of the
school.
Pumping was commenced the middle
of January. and up to this time, the
new apparatus, including the gasoline
engine, and the tripleX pump, has been
running smoothly, and giving the best
of satisfaction.
The reservoir was constructed last
fall, by Contractor l.. S. Haines, is T.
feet in depth and 80 feet across with
capacity of 900 hogsheads. The cir
cular building which covers the reser-
voir is a substantial. we'll constructed
affair, and was erected by f. r. Well
man of Augusta.
A word about the engine and pump
which are being used will be of interest
In selecting them the management
considered mainly, from an economical
standpoint, aiming to secure a pract-
cal system, which would not neceSsi-
tate large expenditure of money, nor
would require large sum for its main

strength to run the Deane triplex pump

The engine operates on the principle
known as the -four cycle" j. e., a
charge and impulse at every second

valves open and admit into the cylin-
der. gasoline and air in definite and
proper proportions to make an eXplo-

tried before Judge Rowell in the NUM-

testimony presented by both sides was

seemed Enabled to decide as to who
provoked the assault, and gave the
first blow. However, sufficient cause
was found to the satisfaction of the
court, to subject a penalty on the de-
