SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

Why not take a trip down historic Cas-
CO Bay Sunday afternoon. The steamer
Pilgrim, the favorite excursion steamer
of Portland harbor, will make trip down

to say that those who go will enjoy every
minute of the time they are away. But
what will make the sail more enjoyable
is that fine concert will be given during
the trip. What is there moro pleasant
than good company, charming music
and sail in smooth water to while

PORTLAND, July 16, 1898.
F you who are read
i ing this are a
stranger in Port
land, a visitor, and not
yet familiar with the
stores of the town, you
don't know of course
where to go for Gloves,
and maybe you'd thought
to take home a supply to
last till you come again
next year.
What you require is
probably here, and in
larger, finer and better
variety than elsewhere 1t
is a big department of
itself, the Kid Gloves, a
prominent feature of our
business, and one of the
most important stocks
we carry. We couldn't
sell so many gloves if we
didn't sell good ones. We
have such confidence in
the gloves we sell that we
take all risk of bursting
or breaking or misftting 4
or proving unsatisfactory
in any way, aOe a0arramt
every pair, and so you
are relieved of all care
and responsibility when
you buy Gloves of US.
All Gloves fitted at the
counter.

IT WAS NOT LOADED.

There was an object floating off the
point at Cushing's Island yesterday which
from it's proximity to the mines naturally
aroused more or less suspicion 1t was
perfectly harmless, however, and not
loaded-in short it was can buoy nj
though it bore strong resemblance to a
floating torpedo.

The Average Man.

W hen it comes to question of trusting
Yourself to the risks of the road
When the thing is the sharing of burdens
The lifting the heft of a load
In the hour of peril or trial,
In the hour you meet az you can,
You may safely depend On the wisdom
And skill of the average man.
It's the average man and no other
Who does lis plain duty each day,
The small thing his wage ls for doing,
On the commonplace bit Of the way.
lis the average man, may God bless him,
Who pilots us, still in the van,
Over land, over sea, as we travel,
just the plain, hardy, average man.
So on through the days of existence,
A mingling i'll shadow and shine,
We may count on the every day hero,
Whom haply the gods may divine,
But who wears the swarth CRIME of his call
ing,
And labors and earns as he can,
And stands at the last with the noblest,
The commonplace average man.

Patronize the County Paper.

AS our readers we'll know, the Chroni-
Gle is not in the habit Of blowing its own
horn very loudly or frequently; yet we
cannot refrain from printing an OCCASION
al good word spoken by others-like the
following: At teachers institute held
recently in Maine, the presiding officer
asked the teachers if they took their
county paper, and only six acknowledged
they did. The superintendent expressed
surprise and said: you don't spend a
dollar and a half year with these papers,
and yet you expect them to advertise you,
to print free of charge all notices of in
stitutes, insert long programs, and in
many other ways assist you to climb the
ladder to better positions and salaries
and all this without a cent in return. -

New Load Line Rules,
Committee Makes it. Report to the London
Board of Trade.


Especial Dispatch to the Boston Herald.
New YORK, Nov. %. 1888. a special
cable from the London Board OF Trade
confirms the report that the load line
committee has made its report 10 the
board of trade, aud adds that the new
rules, if accepted by the board of trade,
will probably require statutory advertise
ments. 1t is understood that the new
rule SO reported proposes to exempt yes
sells of 1000 tons and more from the win
ter north Atlantic free board. For yes
sells under 1000 tons the rule is to apply
north of Hatteras.
Modification of the discriminating win
ter load line, existing between ports north
and south of Baltimore, has long been de-
manded by the shipping interests of New
Y ork, Philadelphia and Boston. The dis
elimination has applied to vessels clearing
for British ports.
In view of the exceptionally severe and
prolonged storms to which the north At
lantic is subjected during the winter
months the load line committee, in fran
ing the tables of treeboard in 1883, pro-
vided that vessels engaged in north At
lantic trades should have an additional
freeboard during these months. The adj
ditional freeboaId WAS to apply to vessels
sailing to or from ports north OF and IN
Guiding Baltimore, from October to
March, inclusive.
The tables Of freeboard became statu-
tory in 1890 and in 1893, because of the
manifest unfairness of the distinction
drawn between vessels loading at Balti-
more and those loading at Norfolk and
Newport News, all such entering the At
lantic ocean at the same point, the tables
were modified SO to exempt Baltimore
from the discrimination.
Since the modification mentioned the
exchanges of New York and Philadelphia
have contended that the effect has been tC
increase the discriminating influence
against the trade of New York and Phila
| delphia, instead of abolishing it, whereas
| the course across the ocean taken by YES
sells leaving the Chesapeake capes, the
| Delaware capes or Sandy Hook is practi
cally the same, and therefore the loao
| line should be the same.

The cost Of shipbuilding in England is
still advancing. A year ago shipbuilders
in that country would build large steam
ship of 5000 tons capacity on moderate
draft for e30 900. Many contracts were
booked on those terms. To-day similar
contracts command e37, 900 or more. ac-
cordiug to the time of delivery. 1t is
said that number of vessels which were
contracted for year ago have just chang
ed hands, the original owners reaping a
handsome profit on the sale. From s.,
600 to 81, 600 are said to have been made
on single transaction. Ia one case 80,
800 was cleared on 1000 tonner.
The day is near at hand when we shall
excel and exceed England in building iron
ships as we did wooden ones in ante bel
lum days. Indeed, it is claimed now that
the iron ships turned out in this country
excel in finish and durability those built
on the other side of the Atlantic. The
city of Bath now has contracts amounting
to nearly So. 900, 600, mainly for iron yes
sells, and the builders at Chester, Viii
mington and Philadelphia have numerous
orders.

An Old-Time New England Husking
Bee.

cone beautiful evening under the Sep
TENDER moon Mr.. and Mrs. Pratt sum
moned the Concord young people to their
farm for a husking,' writes Edward W.
Emerson of ''When Louisa Alcott was a
Girl in the December Ladies' Home
journal. ''We worked gayly at the piles
of bleached gold leaves and stalks to get
out the livelier gold within, the lanterns
shining above and the cows beside creak-
ing their stanchions, After an hour we
passed across the moonlit yard, under the
most beautiful elm in Mlddlesex, into the
house, where we washed our hands and
brushed our clothes, and were then invt
ed into the kitchen to supper by our host
ess. There was long table with a white
cloth. In the centre in a shining milk
pan was a mountain of white blossomed
popcorn, 1anked by candles placed in
sockets cut in the small ends of huge
orange carrots Next were baskets of
apples, crimson and yellow and green,
round towers of brown bread and fragrant
soft gingerbread, with fresh cheese near
by. Then there were candelabras made
of inverted multiplex rutabagas, and here
and there cleaned the tanned, yellow
faces of pumpkin pies. The room was
decorated with autumn leaves, probably
scarlet and yellow maple, and blue gen
tians and asters.'

Edward W Emerson, son of Ralph Wal
do Emerson, and Louisa Alcott were
neighbors at Concord, as boy and girl,
and passed much time together. Mr. En-
erson in the Christmas Ladies' Home
Journal recalls those happy days and
gives us brighter light on the personal
side of the author of Little Women
than we have ever had before 1t is most
interesting to read of Miss Alcott's early
home life, and it is little wonder that the
humble home of the Alcott girls was one
of the most attractive places for all the
boys and girls of Concord to visit.
