A Portland Bicyclist Meets With Serious
DIishsp in Biddeford.

Mr.. Ralph Lord of Portland, who has
been sojourning at the Pool, started to
ride there from Biddeford. Friday, and
in descending Westbrook hill he took q
header, landing heavily on his side, one
shoulder coming in violent contact with
the hard roadbed. Although suffering
great pain he rem ounted his wheel and
attempted to finish his trip to the Pool.
He rode short distance and tainted, but
upon recovering tried 1t again, when he
tainted a second time. Then he gave up
and got some one to take him the re-
mainder of the way in a team.
Upon reaching the Pool it WIS found
that his shoulder was badly swollen, but
it was thought nothing serious was the
matter and little attention was paid to
the injury until Sunday, when DR.. J.
Frank Trull, who happened to be at the
Pool, was called in and making an ex-
animation found the collar bone WAS
broken. He reduced the fracture and
made Mr.. Lord as comfortable as possible.

WHAT HE SAW IN BANGOR.
A Worcester Clergyman Pr caches About
Two Hundred Open Saloons.

Rev. L. w. Adams of the Webster
Square N. e. church, Worcester. Mass. /,
preached sermon Sunday on Two Hun
dred Open Saloons in Bangor, Me-; What
Saw and Learned
1t was in the line OF a temperance ad-
dress and plea for no license, being
based on his own observations while at
tending the recent convention Of the Ep-
worth League at Bangor.
He said there are $1,000 people in Ban
gor and 200 open saloons, which means
one to every 13l inhabitants.
He said he went with Rev. J. M. Frost
and three others to a store near the depot
to get something to eat, but could not.
Every other store but one was open for
business and one could get all he wanted
to drink.
He found four places on Washington
street, and in a dance hall on another
street he saw terrible looking men and
women, with bloated faces and banged
hair.
He learned that there were no clean
men in the rum business, that minister
of the Third Congregational church had
been dismissed becausehe spoke his mind,
that the churches were not united on
downing the traffic. the Baptists being
against it and that the Second M. e.
church was solid for temperance.
He said the saloons were notified in ad-
vance if there was to be laid and that
the policemen were bribed
He spoke against licensing the rum
traffic and said Bangor does not. The
liquor dealer is law breaker and is so
branded there.

LESS WORK FOR BANK CLERKS.
FEWER Checks Drawn by Business Men
Since War Tax Was Put On.


There has been great falling off in the
use OF bank checks since the war tax was
put on. The tax is only two cents on
sinail checks, but the business man who
Is drawing many checks finds that these
small sums rapid ly count up to total
which 1t is worth while to consider
Hence, many men who have used this
mode OF making payments extensively are
drawing as few checks as possible.
The result Is that many small bills are
paid in cash, when checks would be used
were it not for the tax. Business men
sometimes give their creditors the option
of taking silver or paying for the stamp.
Another device is to lump several pay
ments, drawing check for the whole
and distributing the amount among the
several creditors.
q Some have asserted that this new GUS
tom will transfer fully half of the bust.
ness formerly done by checks to the legal
tender currency, which, in that case,
will rise in value unless it is increased in
quantity, owing to the increased demand

THE NEWS IN CAMP.
A Tennessee Papers Information About
the Maine Boys at Chickamauga.

A recent issue of the Chattanooga
Times contained the following informa'
ton about the Maine regiment at Chick
amauga:
DR.. O'Neil, the chief surgeon of the
lst Maine, is Of the opinion that the best
remedy for bad health in any camp is fol-
hard floors to be placed in all of the
tents. He believes that the greatest por-
ton of the fever in those camps affected
is result of the men being compelled to
sleep on the bare ground, especially this
rainy weather, as the ground is generally
damp. ~
Co. Fl is already following the doctor Is
advice and board floors are being placed
IN all of the tents in the company. This
will be done in the remainder of the com.
.panies as soon as sufficient supply of
lumber arrives.
Capt. W. c. Goodwin has been pre-.
sented with handsome service revolver
by the members of his company. Sergt.
E. j. Ham made the presentation speech.
There have been no drills of any char
acter in the regiment for two days on
account of the rains. The tents were all
very well ditched and the boys have
kept comparatively dry.
No appointment has yet been made to
fill the vacancy in Co. D, caused by the
death of Capt. Bartlett.
Lieut.. Lord of Co. M, is seriously ill.
The physicians are working hard with
him and it is hoped and thought that
he will soon be at his post of duty again.
Major Collins, who has been indisposed
for several days, is improving, much to
the delight OF his many friends.
Musician Schmidt has been appointed
regimental tailor.
Lieut.. George NJ. Kaganaugh of Co. L,
has been placed in charge of the officers
mess.
Capt. Baker of Co. B, is rapidly push
ing the work on the rifle range, and it is
probable that the boys will begin practic-
ing in very short time.
Police Officer Dooley has had his hands
full of work for the past few days, since
the boys have received their pay. The
guard house, as is usual with most of
the regiments, is being tested to its full
est capacity, and a great deal of work is
being done in the camp by the prisoners.
Arrangements are being made by the
officers of the regiment for reception tc
be rendered to a number of society ladies
of Chattanooga at an early date, which
promises to be u very brilliant affair.
All of the staff officers of the regiment
have returned to duty from the brigade
headquarters with the exception of Quar-.
termaster Harris, who is still detained al

ting department of the ia ir give promise
of being unusually fine, and that num-
erous attractions for the midway and
show grounds. have been arranged for.

committee that coaching parade would
be desirable feature of the fair, if it is
possible to secure entries from the noun
tain resorts and beaches The secretary
of the committee was instructed to cor
respond with the hotel proprietors at the
various resorts and invite their co-opera-
tion in the undertaking.
