COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

The average American citizen
may be pardoned, in these piping times
of peace, for wondering whether he
lives under republic-or plutocracy.

tired of Marcus Alonzo Hanna. They
have tolerated him for years. They will
not stand him much longer. He has
never said or done thing which was
not un-American.-Was Times.

making serious charge against Cleve-

What There Is New to Sec.

Augusta people who yearly come to
Lewiston to pay homage to the great
fair, take almost as much delight in
what they see outside the fair grounds
as they do what is within the gates
The ride from the Capital city, this
year. was most enjoyable one, lots
of new sights to relieve the monotony
Of the ride.
In Brunswick we commenced t. see
the new Electric road. Along aside Of
it we spun, leaving it for a time only
to run in contact with it again later on
The overhead trestles were noted with
much interest and many expressed the
desire of sometime making a trip to

An Equine Giant.

Bishops big horse Jumbo is attract
ing any amount of attention. This
equine stands 20 hands high and tips
the scales at 1900 pounds. He is a big
one and his owner says that he is the
biggest horse in the country. He is
dark bay, and has as handsome curved
neck as ever adorned piece of horse
flesh. When led on the track the other
day beside a little pony the contrast
was remarkable but the giant equine

as much ease as his Liliputian friend

The Hood Farm Exhibit.

No exhibit at the grounds is attracting
more patronage this year than that of the
Hood Farm. 1t is safe to say that no
herd of Jerseys in the country has ere
ated more interest the past few years
than the big exhibit from the Bay state
which as usual is by itself this season
The exhibit is in charge of Mr.. Carpenter
who has Travelled through Maine visiting
the fairs. for the past few years He is
exceedingly popular with the agricultural
men and at the beginning of each year
they always make it point 60 call on
him.
Winning natural Importance by the re-
markable triumphs of its representatives
in the dairy tests of its representa- tivcs at
the Worlds Fair at Chicago in 1898,
breeders have watched with great inter
est the increase in size and improvement
in the quality of the Hood Farm herd,
while the general public has read of its
growth and its triumphs with admiration
and satisfaction.
Mr.. Carpenter is always pleased to have
those interested in things pertaining to
dairying cali at the Hood Farm tent. All
taking advantage of the invitation will be
shown every attention.
The words of praise for the Hood Farm
Berkshires are fully as emphatic and as
abundant as the favorable comment and
report upon the Jerseys. In fact the des-
ignation Hood Farm is coming to be
recognized as the name of an almost d.

in both Jerseys and Berkshires.

The Fakirs.

The fakir is here as usual. He
comes the night before the fair and
leaves the night it closes Some think
that he has no license on the grounds
but to the majority he gives the best
kind of show.
Those who study human nature like
the fakir. He is peculiar kind of
an individual but he is just as human
as any of the many who gather daily
to see the show he gives.
The fakirs collect crowds about them
for the purpose of selling tooth paste
or shaving soap or some other tritie
that lends itself readily to the art of
persuasive oratory. The fakir having

This is by no means difficult but after

been enjoying the free entertainment.
Ii he can change the conversation from
mrth and melody to such severely
practical matters as the price and vir-
tues of his wares without losing his
grip on his auditors then he is indeed
a man of affairs, but if the people lose

sooner he realizes the fact that he has
missed his vocation the better it will
be for him.

The Wild Geese.

The wild geese in the poultry build
ing are sadly missed this year. Mr..
Remission once had the only tame pair
in the State. He captured them when
they were. woung and they grew up
very tame. For years he exhibited
them here but they are not here now.
A few months ago one started and flew
down TO one of the neighbors On her
return she came in range with a Bos-
ton sportsman who had been out all
day without getting a shot. Oh, what
chance he had, he thought. Then
bang went the gun and Mr.. Keniston's
wild goose was tanned forever. The
man felt badly when he learned his
mistake but that didn't bring a new
wild goose to Mr.. Remission and so the
public is not enjoying this strange
sight. The other bird grew lonesome
and has since died.

THE regiments that have been or.
dered mustered out will be mustered
out. The regiments that have been
designated by the President to remain
in The. service will have to remain.
As soon as we have mustered out 100,-
900 more or less. we shall reorganize

corps-and put them In comfortable
camps until such Of them as are need
ed are withdrawn for service in Cuba.

be treated as soldiers. The officers.
commanding regiments and companies
will be held strictly accountable for the
sanitary condition Of the camps. Dur
ing the war many Of these officers dis
regarded the specific Instructions that
had been given looking to the proper
care Of their men. Now It is time for
them to take this work upon them
selves. Where men are incompetent
to discharge these duties. they must
give way to competent men.
Il hope that there will be less food
given to the men from outside sources.
The dainties are OF no real help and
only tend to breed dissatisfaction
where they do not actually destroy the
health Of the men.
THE army ration is a sound. health
full diet.
When a regiment Is designated to
be mustered out no further appeals will
be allowed to influence the department
to change its programme. That order
is going to be strictly observed until
the President decides that he can make
a further reduction In the army. When
such reduction is made there will be no
discrimination in releasing the troops"
