THREE INTERESTING PAINTINGS
Supposed to Be Nearly Ninety Years Old
Exhibited At QuImby's.

Mr.. Quimby of the Augusta Art Store.
has novelty for this section, in three
very old oil paintings. which will be on
exhibition unframed and unadorned in
his window, this morning. They were
purchased by collector more than 20
years ago. and were said at that time,
to date back toward the beginning Of
the present century.
Evidence of the truth Of this claim is
proven by the fact that the canvas IL
such as artists formerly were obliged
to prepare for themselves and the
sketches such as were made long before
the wedging corners Of modern use
were invented. One is painted on an
old solid oak panel.
The condition and colors are as good
as when the artists had completed
them. They make small collection of
old time paintings such as has never
before been shown here.
They are for sale, as the owner must
realize some money upon them.
The subjects are 1.-The Gamekeeper's
Daughter" THE Sisters. and Birds

VERY umwElcome NEWS.
Battery Boys Greatly Disappsiaisd Il Prsspsci
Of Not Seeing Service.

The news in the morning papers that
the Maine batteries were to be immedi-
ately mustered out OF the service, was
received at Camp Powers by the members
of the batteries as the news of the death
of ones best friend would be received.
The men have expected to see service In
some fort. even after peace was declared.
and are accordingly greatly disappointed.
No orders of any description were re-
ceived. yesterday, in relation to the dis
Landment of the batteries. and the press
reports are the only authority for the
statement that the boys will be mustered
out. Now that they have to return to
their homes they wish to go as soon as
possible. and the day Of their discharge
from duty is looked forward to with great
anticipation.
Many Of the men in the hospital were
returned to duty. Wednesday. and there
are now very few cases under the SUR
geon's care.
The usual company drills were held In
the morning. yesterday. but as rain came
on just as the men were forming for bat
talon drill, there was no drill in the
evening.

The gearing of the machine is one
lows of a difference between it's mimi
mum and maximum of 100 per cent. or
as one to two. To !. further illustrate
the point 1t may be saidthat the mimi
mum distance the machine will travel
by a single stroke of the oars, is 20 feet,
while under the maximum conditions.
1t will cover 40 feet. The gears can be
changed while in operation simply by
twisting or turning the oars. 1t Is
well adapted to coasting and perfectly
safe for this purpose, because the brake
clutches are always in readiness.

General Richards went to Portland,
yesterday, and with Mayor Randall
made all plans for the reception of the
sick soldiers of the LIST Maine who are

General Richards has ordered Cap
tain Riker of the Ambulance Corps.
and a surgeon to proceed to Albany, or
possibly to Utica. to meet the train.
General Richards himself will remain
in Portland until the boys arrive and
a detachment OF the Ambulance Corps
will be there to look after those I'M
able to look after themselves. Those
who are able to proceed home will do
so. at once from Portland, but those
very sick and whose cases demand i'm
mediate attention will be at once cared
for at the Maine General Hospital and

The most elegant black gowns just now
shown at the importing houses are of very
lustrous watered silk. made in princess
style. and trimmed very deliberately on the
bodice portion and front of the gown with
black lace with girdle and yoke, bretelle
or vest-piece of the finest cut Jet.
Knife-pleated frills appear once again
among the fluffy trimmings of the airy
summer gowns both for day and evening
wear. These are placed in every possible
hem, and very frequently on the large
round hat, and the effect is complete when
a matching ruffie-trimmed paraso is added

service of a single cup of coffee.
