STRANDED VOLUNTEERS.
Hard Experience of a Bath Young Man
Who Wanted to Serve His Country.

A young man wearing the uniform of
the Bath naval brigade was visitor in
Portland yesterday. His stay here was
more extended than he hadsplanned. He
was one of ono hundred enlisted Bath
men who went to Charlestown navy yard,
Saturday, to take their. physical examina-
tions. and he with eight others failed to
pass. When he left home he felt so sure
of being accepted that he didn't take the
precaution to provide himself with re-
turn ticket. He did happen to have just
enough reserve fund to pay his fare from
Boston to Portland, on the boat, but he
landed here Sunday morning without
having even the price of a lunch.
He called at the police station, stated
his case to the officers in charge and was
fed from the station locker. He spent the
night in the lodging room. Provision Will
be made to send him home.

can leaving the present organization with
Une number of men now contained in
them, though practically all promise the
government any amount of troops that
are wanted. 1t is the Presidents desire
however, that the organizations already
formed shall be filed to their maximum
strength as the law provides and this
policy will be carried out in recruiting
under the second call. The apportionment
20 the states has been made up but not
YET given to the public. Through urgent
representations to Secretary Alger, some
OF tne states were permitted under the
nrsu call to furnish greater number of
troops than they were legally entitled to
IN the basis of population. Consequently
IN raising the rs, 600 men under the
second call, these inequalities will be
remed1ed as far as practical with the re-
suit that some of the states may not be
called on to furnish any Of the men
needed. This course probably may give
rise TO dlscontent in states where the men
are anxious to serve, but 1t is regarded as
5ne only falr way In which to proceed.

DEERING.

Lee, the four-year-old and only son of
William and Avis Hanson, residing on
Glenwood avenue, died late Saturday
night as a result of con vulsions. The
child had frequent vomiting spells
through the day and at night went into
commissions in which 1t died. DR..
Topliff pronounced the convulsions due
to chronic indigestion. A peculiarly sad
thing in connection with the death of
the child is the fact that only two weeks
ago Mr.. and Mrs. Hanson lost their
youngest child from the same cause.

THE GEM.

When Sardou wrote Diplomacy he gave
to the world one of the most perfect pieces
of dramatic literature that the modern
stage has ever possessed. Diplomacy has
from its inception been stamped by all
the greatest critics of the world as Sar-
dou's masterpiece perfect in theme and
execution SO delicate in it's undercurrent
of emotion that in the hands Of other
than artists of more than ordinary ability
it would meet with disgrace. That Mr..
Douglas selected Diplomacy for his [open
ing piece at the Gem argues well for the
calibre of his company, and Mr.. Douglas
with his splendid experience is not apt to
make mistake in the selection of his
plays. When Mr.. Douglas was asked
why he selected Diplomacy as his opening
bill he replied: "For several reasons.
First to show my company, and second
because the play is now having great
run in New York where it has been re-
vived, and next because it Is very great
piece of dramatic work. I know that
