pany, for his painstaking attention to the
wants of the party.

NURSES FOR THE SOLDIERS.
Those at the Maine General Hospital
Asked for.

On Friday morning the following tele-
gram was received at the Maine General
hospital in this city: Thirty nurses
wanted at Chickamauga for field work
on 18th; $50 and expenses. A. G. Max
well.
1t is not known whether A. G. Maxwell
is man or woman but DR.. Hunt, who
is the superintendent of the Maine Gem
eral, thinks that the person is one who is
interested in the work of nurses in the
war.
The brief message is to be held await
ing the return of Miss Amelia Smith
who is the head nurse of the Maine
General, and who is now enjoying her
annual vacation. Then confere nee will
be held in regard to the number of nurses
who will be sent from this Institution to
administer to the wants of the soldier
boys at Chickamauga. Miss Smith will
return this week.
The telegram caused quite stir among
the officials at the Maine General and
especially among the thirty two nurses
which is as large a number as the
hospital has ever held But none of the
nurses will go just yet and it is entirely
safe to predict that the number who will
avail themselves of the opportunity will
be small. The officials believe that tele-
gram of like tenor was forwarded to the
others of the scores of hospitals in New
England.
When Miss Smith returns, she and DR..
Hunt will confer and then write on to the
authorities regarding plans.
Ever since the hostilitiss broke out.
considerable talk has been made by the
nurses of the Maine General in regard to
rendering their services and, indeed, a
few of the number have written to the
National Alumnae association which
has headquarters in Washington and
which wanted to control the nursing
during the war. The Red Cross, how
ever, has the precedence in this matter
and has the only right on the battlefield.
Thus it will be seen that no Portland
nurses have gone to the front.
The nurses at the Maine General are
greatly interested in the progress OF the
wor and state that if called upon, they
surely want to go where the fighting is.

SUM M ER.TRaD
The Hotels Doing a Thriving Business
Some Talk With Hotel Men.

There was time only two short
months ago when the doubling Thomases
were abroad in the land telling people
that the war would drive the summer
visitors far from their usual haunts along
the coast and in the mountains of the
Pine Tree state-the play ground of the
nation. There were pen pictures of the
descent of the terrible Spanish fleet on
the defenceless New England coast and
the spook warships doomed through the
fog off Mount Desert and whole squad
ron of them was seen off Prout's Neck.
But for all this gloomy word painting
and the Imagination of the timid, with
the same as usual and now at noon time
the Union station presents it's accustomed
summer appearance as the long trains
rumble in with their loads Of dusty and
weary people longing for the hour to come
when they shall reach their destination.
This Is the season when the traveller has
for companions whole families Of pleasure
seekers and as he goes through the long
train he sees that it is not only the
wealthy for whom there are awaiting
palatial cottages at Bar Harbor who come
into Maine in these months Eof the sum-
Iner. The people in the cars are evidently
of all walks in life. That is shown by
the dress of the travellers and their method
of travel bat rich and poor they have
come to Maine for the same purpose and
whether they pay ten dollars day or five
dollars a week for thei- board they are
likely to find the rest and recreation they
are seeking. The officials at the station
who keep a watchful eye on the size of
the trains, were of the opinion that
during July the travel might not have
been quite up to former years but Au-
gust, the great month of the summer re-
sort season, has started off like an old
timer. The usual idea of a summer resort
is of an island with big hotel or a beach
with a struggling line of caravanseries or
an inland village with its boarding houses
and farms. but the traveller of today is
finding that the cities are sometimes good
summer places themselves and every year
more people make stops in Portland to
see the beauties of the city itself and the
country round a bout. The hotel keepers
know that this is so and they also keep
posted as to the state Of the summer
travel. A PRESS reporter made the
rounds last night and these are the state

ments he procured. from the different
city hotels as to the amount of summer
business they are doing this year:
A. W. Chaffee. night clerk at the Con-
gress Square hotel, says: "Summer travel
has been extremely heavy with us for the
past two months and we have had to tarn
people away a great many times. think
the amount of travel is about the same as
last year perhaps a little heavier. I
understand all the hotels at the noun
tains are way ahead Of last year, while
Old Orchard, Bar Harbor and Poland
Springs have about all they can care for.
There are many str angers in the city and
the number is constantly increasing as
August is usually the heaviest month in
the whole year for summer travel"
Mr.. White of the Preble House told
about the same story. He said: Last
month was about the same as year ago.
don't think the travel in town has been
quite SO heavy as last year, although we
anticipate good business this month and
are star ting III we'll My business has
not fallen off any and we have been
crowded at times. and several times have
had to turn people away this month.
August is our heaviest month generally
for tourist travel and increases generally
about one-third over July. The New York
boat travel is great help to Portland
and the hotels. Boat travel Is much moro
help to the hotels especially than rail-
roads as people coming by boat nearly al
ways stop over, while those coming by
rail generally go right through to their
destination. The closing of the Falmouth
hotel may have something to do with the
increase of business at the different hotels,
but it is somewhat doubtful as there arc
many places for summer visitors to go
utside the CITY,"
Mr.. Foss of the United States hotel
said: "Our business this summer has
been the largest since we have taken the
house. We have been crowded nearly
every night and have had to turn people
away several times. We have had to put
up cots and make TIP beds in the parlors
and on the sofas to accommodate the
people. The business has been exception
ally good with us since the first Of June,
in fact, June has been about as good a
month as we have had. I don't think
there was ever more summer visitors in
Portland than this year.
Mr.. Castner of the West End was quite
enthusiastic on the question of summer
travel. He said: II did nearly double
the business in July that have done
since have boon here. 1t has held right
up to that SO far this month and the
house has been crowded all the time. I
have often had to turn people away even
after doubling up in the rooms and put
ting up extra cots. think the summer
travel has been heavier than over this
year and is constantly increasing. think
if the war scare had had any effect on the
summer travel in Maine it has had q
tendency to drive it this way as the
mountain houses are crowded to over.
flowing. Fabyans especially doing a
larger business than they ever did before.
Poland Springs is also crowded and people
are still coming. You can see what the
result is in Portland for nearly every
hotel is often crowded to its utmost limit.
