THE ODD FELLOWS FAIR.
Voting Contests 10 Be one Of the Features
4 Brilliant Outlook.

One of the attractions of the Odd
Fellows fair that is to occur in No
vember, will be the voting contests
and there have been so expensive
gifts offered, there is sure to be a
great contest in each. First the fire
companies will have a chance to work
up a little rivalry, and the company
receiving the most votes will receive a
banner valued at 1925. A 500 type.
writing machine will be given to the
most popular lady typewriter in Ken
nebec, or at least to the lady type
friends and admirers. A gold watch
valued at $50 to the most popular lad v
in Augusta. A Webster's unabridged
dictionary to the most popular Gram
mar school boy A $25 boys bicycle to
the most popular boy, under Is years
of age, in Augusta, and a $25 doll to
the most popular girl.
This fair is to be given in the new
quarters of the Asylum Lodge, which
will be the third and fourth floors of
the Purinton block. The lodge has al
ready expended a large sum of money
to make the quarters credit to the
city, and to make them in keeping with
other kindred organizations. and it is
desired to make it among the best III
New England. The funds obtained at
this fair will be used in the decoration
of the hall.
Asylum Lodge has been in existence
25 years, and during that time has
never been before the public for any
thing. 1t has paid over $4,000 in sick
benefits and beneficiaries, and even
now is supporting an orphan at the
Good Will Farm.
The outlook for the fair is very
bright. 1t seems to be a successful
year for fairs. and the advance tickets
are selling remarkably well.

START SATURDAY.
Battalion Of Batteries Receive News
to that Effect.
The Men lust as Anxious as Ever to Leave
Camp Powers.

The battalion of batteries will start
Saturday, so it is thought, as the latest
advice from Quartermaster Hyde in
Boston, received, late Thursday after
noon, said he thought they would be
ordered to start on that day. This
finally settled the time that they were
to start, for since telegram received
in the morning they had been expect
ing the marching orders for Friday.
Major Newcomb received telegram,
Thursday forenoon, from Boston say
ing to be in readiness to move at any
time, as the orders to march would be
sent the moment the transport Missis-
sippi is sighted off Boston. The troops
on the transport are all we'll, so the
transport will not have to be fumigated
as was thought. All that will be neces-
sary is to let the 9Th Massachusetts get
off the ship, and it is ready for the
Maine men, unless there are some re-
pairs to be made.
The start, Saturday, if orders do come
to start, will be made as early in the
day as possible. 1t will probably not
be before 8 o'clock though at the ear
lest. If it is definitely known today,
that they will start, Saturday morning,
the train will be ready before the men,
so no delay will be experienced on that
account.
AS soon as orders are received, all
that will be necessary is to take down
the tents and start, and by that time
the quartermaster will have his train
ready. 1t is just about the time that
will be required to get the train ready.
that will elapse between the time the
orders come and the departure, which
will be but few hours.
Many are thankful that the
start will not be made today, as
they had dread of starting
out on their journey on Friday
These are the superstitious ones. They
cite the case of the LIST Maine Volun-
teers. Many of the latter regiment
We're mustered in on Friday. They all
started for the South on Friday, and
as rule they had bad luck from the
start, barring the honor they got being
so well drilled and equipped.
Few however share in this supersti-
in the talk.
Surgeon Martin said Thursday, that
all but about 20 of the men would go
with the battalion. These will remain
here in the hospital building at the
camp, until they are able to go away.
These men are all improving slowly.
1t was a terrible night at the camp,
Wednesday night. The wind was the
strongest that it has been since they
have been here, and that is saying a
great deal for this camp which is so
exposed. Some of the officers placed all
the articles for which they cared, in
their trunks and desks before they
went to bed, for they expected their
tents to be blown down at any minute,
and this would leave the things at the
mercy of the winds. 1t was not so
very cold which was blessing.
That uneasiness to be off is not de-
creasing among the men as the time
for the orders to arrive draws near.
They feel like children promised holt
day after a long term Of school. There
will be work, and possibly hardshlps
in this holiday yet it is more accept
able than staying at Camp Powers.

ROckefeller's Flower Clock.

The phenomenon of certain species
of flowers opening and closing at par
ticular hours has been utilized by an
Ohio landscape gardener to add a
unique decoration to the grounds of
John d. Rockefeller's country seat at
Tarrytown. 1t consists of flower bed
which can be used as clock. The bed
is circular and divided into twelve
parts. Each part contains a figure
composed of flower which opens or
closes at the corresponding hour. Thus
the 2 space is occupied by ii made of
hawkseed, which closes at 2 P. NJ. pre-.
cisely. The hands, of course, are sta
tionary and merely ornamental. They
are composed of the common yellow
dandelion, which opens at $50 A. NJ.
and closes at s: 30 P. NJ. They point to
arrangements of flowers representing
these figures.
There has been no difficulty in find
ing flowers to suit the various hours,
and in some cases the figure has been
made up of more than one flower.
Among those that have been used are
the snow thistle, that closes at l P. NJ. /;
the SOW thistle, that opens at A. NJ.
and begins to close at II, but does not
fully close until noon; the yellow goats
beard, which opens at A. NJ. and
closes at P. NJ. with such accuracy
that some of the poorer districts of
Scotland-where there are no clocks
the children are dismissed from school
by it; the blue chicory, which opens at
A. M, turns white at sunrise and
closes at noon; the morning glory,
poppy, water lily, pimpernel, and mari
gold opening at A, NJ, A. NJ, s A. NJ,
and 0 A. NJ. respectively; the Star of
Bethlehem, which closes at IL; the pas
sion flower, which opens at noon. The
beauty of the night, which opens at 8
P. M; the evening primrose, which
opens at 8; the white lychnis, opening
at 9, and the blue convolvulus at 2 A. NJ.
This clock is so arranged that from a
distance it looks like an ordinary flower
bed, but on close inspection none
could mistake it for anything other
than what it is.-New York Sun.

POLITICAL.
The Peace Commissioners,

The Peace Commission of the United
States stands completed as follows:
William r. Day; q clear-headed,
earnest, well meaning, and conscien-
tious man, whose career has been
mainly identified with minor town of
Ohio, and who is animated by a disin-
clination TO join in the movement for
national expansion that shows him to
be not yet lifted up to the level reached
by the majority of the American
people in their upward progress. He
may rise.
Cushman K. Davis; thoughtful and
studious statesman of a higher politi-
cal training than Mr.. Day, and so more
advanced and enlightened in his views
upon this country's relation to the Pa
cafe ocean and the people on the other
side of it.
William P. Frye, sterling Amer
lean, who, with Senator Davis, consti-
tutes the country's main hope that
Dewey shall not have fought in vain
and that the unparalleled opportunities
opened to us by his victory for protec-
ting and promoting our vast interests
in the Orient shall not be thrown away.
Edward D. White, an able opponent
of many things, national.expansion par
ticularly, and certain to be forceful
and disturbing element in any Spanish
American peace commission.
Whitelaw Reid; the appointment of
this individual is intended to provide
for peace of another sort than that with
Spain. Any Office conferred upon Reid
by the Administration is for the pur-
pose of making peace with him as Re-
publican bushwacker and stabber of all
who don't pay toll to him personally.
The Peace Commission, however, is
clerk. The party finally responsible
for the treaty to be laid before the Sen
ate will be the President.-New York

The various events connected with the

described by John A. Church, formerly
of the Army and Navy Journal. The
cost of the war and the financial pro.
visions for meeting it are ably summed
up by Charles A. Conant, an expert
enced financial writer. Henry Macfar-
land, Washington journalist, contrib
utes character sketch of William r..
Day, the secretary of state, which is
of special interest at this time because
of Judge Days appointment as leading
member of the American peace COM

regarding the late ex-chancellor. Aside
from many other illustrations, numer-
GUS cartoons apropos OF the war are
