Than what is given by those who have
nersonally been over the line and made
renorts upon progress of the work
that the Washington County Railroad
after so many years Of talk and plan
is indeed a reality; it could be obtained
bv a visit to the Maine Central yard N
this city. There may be seen two i'm
mense locomotives, lettered 'Washing-
ton County," respectively numbers zone
and four. These immense engines are
from the shops of the Brooks locomo-
tive works, Dunkirk, N. ", and are Of
pattern somewhat new here with three
large driving wheels and many i'm
proved ideas in construction. One Of
tbese weighs so tons, the other 50 tons
the last with tender and equipment
having a total weight of - tons. They
are a pair of eight new locomotives
from the Brooks company, for this new
Maine railroad, which are expected to
be delivered to the Washington County
road over the Maine Central irons dur
ing the months Of June and July
Bangor Commercial.
How many people stop to think
of the great strides that railroading has
taken in this section of the country?
1t is not so very many years ago that
the eastern division of the Il. & NJ,
formerly the Eastern road. extended
only to Portsmouth. The Eastern Rail
roads cars were taken in charge at
Portsmouth by engines and train
| crews as they are now at Portland by
| the Maine Central men. The Portland,
| Saco & Portsmouth road took on the
| l3. 4 NJ. trains at North Berwick
| Junction, the then Il. &, NJ, being what
| Is now the Western division. d. w
| Sanborn. now general superintendent
| Of the Il. & NJ. system, was an old p.
| Elbridge ToWle. There were two trains
| q day each way between Boston and
| Portland over the Eastern in those
! early days. one left Boston at 7.30 and
| arrived in Portland a 80 five hour
| trip. Another left at 30 and arrived
| about or $50 Later, the express was
| added, leaving Boston at $50 and max
| ing the run in four hours. Then cam"
| the night Pullman. leaving Boston At
| 6 +. NJ. Now the accommodation
| makes the run easily in four and a half
| hours and the express in a trihe over
| three hours. The Augusta trains We're
| run by ToWle of the Eastern and Phil
| brook and Bodge Of the Maine Central.
| Mayor Beal of Bangor, was d conduc-
| tor of the night Pullman, then run
ming through between Boston and Ban

of Conductor Howe, who has gone to
Portland for a short time.
\ new car was received on the Bel

of ear No. GA. The car will be used
while the regular passenger car is re-

irving almost daily, to be used on the
line. A car load of splice bars anI
bolts arrived. Monday. to be unloaded
at Waukeag station and be used in
track laying. which work will be COM
menced about July l.
Most all passenger trains are now
equipped with the automatic air signal
which is used in place of the bell on thu
cab Of the locomotive. A small whistle
near the seat of the engineer is worked
by air. and connected by rope which
runs through the ears of each train
The conductor to signal the engineer IN
any way now uses the rope instead of
the old bell line. which causes the
blasts on the whistle in the cab of the
engine by the exhaust of air. The old
way of the bell was a source of more
or less trouble for long trains, and it is
said will soon be thing of the past
on the Boston & Maine Railroad.

A Tribute to Woman.

Woman brings us into the world: wo-
man is our first teacher; woman makes
the world what it is, from century to
century. We can no more escape from
woman, ana yet continue to live our
liVes as they should be lived, than we
can hide ourselves from nature. We
are IN her care or III her power more
thah half our years. and often during
all from first to last. We are born of
her. We grow of her, as truly as trees
ana flowers come of the mother earth
ana draw their life from the soil in
which they are planted. The man who
denies his mother is bad man, and
the man who has not loved woman is
man in darkness.-Marion Craw-
lords "A Rose of Yesterday"

Stripes only for certain purposes.

Stripes only for certain purposes.
A young woman who was inspecting
flag handkerchiefs and other varieties
of bunting few days ago revealed to
the clerk in her discussion of sizes,
qualities of silk, etc, that her Rur-
chases We're meant to color hammock
cushions. Sweeping the bunting
brusquely off the counter, the clerk de-
clined to wait on the lady
Madam" he said, I'VE do not sell
the Star and Stripes for any such pur
pose"
The young lady flushed with indigna-
ton, but in moment, she understood
II believe you are right" She said
finally. Il thank YOU
club of athletic girls in another
city-bcyclists and goltists-Who have
been smitten with the present mania
of wearing the flag, have laid down
for themselves, after animated discus
sion. a set of rules as to what they VIII
or will not regard as permissible. The
principle they have agreed to recognize
is that the national emblem must serve
no utilitarian or undignified purpose.
| Wherever it appears it must be a
| badge of honor-something by which
| distinction is conferred on the
wearer, and not as something reduced
| as to fulfil the wearers needs.
| For example, club member who APP
peared at the rendezvous for bicycle
| run in the latest style of shoe. an OK
| ford tie. With top of flag canvas and
| flag lining, was disciplined promptly.
| The flag must not be trodden under
| foot nor used as shoe leather. BY a
| somewhat subtle distinction flag rib
| bons are permitted as hatbands, but
| flag sashes are froWned upon unless the
| field of stars is omitted: red ana white
stripes are not forbidden. Flas
buckles. studs, sleeve links. etc. are
worn by some of the girls, but disap-
proved wholly by others. Flag hand
| kerchefs are not allowed.
The attitude Of the club toward the
| use of the flag was made public in q
| limited way at a breakfast offered to
its guests at a golf clubhouse much
| used by women and turned over to
them for entertainment by the mascu-
line owners. The house was trimmed
inside and out with flags. and red.
| table decorations.
Why not throw a flag over The table,
as Mrs. So-and-So did at her big dinner
rarty?" asked one Of the invited.
Use the stars and Stripes for a
| table cloth?" retorted a club girl. II
would as soon take them for petticoats
as they say some women are doing"
The club girls pledge themselves t,
| fly flags from their houses, carry them
upon their wheels and wear The ma
! tional colors as badges on their shoul-
| der: there most Of them think good
| taste calls a halt. But red, white and
| blue can be worn in most any pie
| turesque way a woman desires without
necessity for degrading Ola Glory.
There is nothing to offend the most
sensitive taste in combining the be
loved colors in ones dress so as to
declare ones allegiance. without pull
ing down the country's emblem to wrap
up ones throat Or button ones blouse
| over.
