Deering is certain togo for annexation,
he replied, but I have some. doubt as to
how Portland will stand.
The only portions of Deering that will
vote against it are tho Morrills and

doubt about East Deering, but on the

Mr.. LITTLEFIELD's SHEEP.
Complaint Made That They We're Not
Properly Cared For.

Several complaints having been made
to Agent E. N. Perry of the Society for
the Protection of Animals about a flock
OF sheep on Bangs island not being prop
erly cared for, Mr.. Perry went to the isl
and yesterday morning in the binding
snow storm to investigate the matter.
Bangs island is about mile from Great
Chebeague island. Mr.. Perry found that
there was flock of "a sheep on the island
belonging to Vim. L. Littlefield of Great
Chebeague. There was shelter for the
sheep ON the eastern end of the island,
but barbed wire fence separated that
part of the island from the part where
the sheep were seen. Being convinced
that the sheep were not properly cared
for, Mr. Perry Invent to Great Chebeague
and told Mr.. Littlefield about the matter.
The owner of the sheep said that he
did not believe the sheep suffered any
for want of food as they found plenty OF
dulce and grass to live upon in tho win
ter. He promised to take over to Bangs
island quantity of hay and if this was
not sufficient, Mr.. Littlefield said he would
take the sheep to Great Chebeague. Mr..
Littlefeld is "a years old and a respected
resident of Great Chebeague, where he
has lived all his life. His wife believes
that some meddlesome neighbors were
the complainants in the case, and that
they desired to injure Mr. Littlefeld.
If the owner of the sheep does not take
better care of the animals in the future
Mr.. Perry says that steps will be taken to
punish him.

THE CORD SLIPPED.
How a Beautiful Launching Was Almost
Failure.

Philadelphia, January 20.-The un-
romantic aspect of Cramps ship yards
was turned to prettiness today when the
Japanese cruiser Kasagi was Launched.
When the movement came and the huge
ship began to glide down to her first bath
in the muddy Delaware, six doves Hut
tered from a basket at the bow and cir
cling about the fast receeding hull, scat
tered flowers on on her deck and the non
descript structure of timber and iron
from which she slipped gracefully away.
The chief of the allegory was charming
American girl-Miss Helen Long, daugh-
ter of the Secretary of the Navy.
Miss Long was to have drawn the cord
which released the doves and their floral
burdens. Unfortunately, however, at the
supreme moment the cord slipped from
her hand and there is no telling what
might have occurred had not a brawny
workman of the yard instantly caught
it and performed the office. This was
observed only by those in immediate
proximity to the vessel and the beauty
of this unique launch was in no way
marred.
The guests included a number of high
functionaries of this country and Japan,
bno QlplOInaulc corps VI nhoAlCo tshu oiio
South American republics. The japanese
minister Toru Hoshi, by whose invitation
Miss Long was chosen to christen the
Kasagi headed the delegation from the
Mikado's court.
The American party from the capital
was large and notable, including many
state officials and their ladies.
There was only one untoward feature
of thu whole affair 1t rained. Yet, the
clements were not too unkind for only a
few moments before the cruiser slipped
off her ways, the rain ceased and the fog
on the river lifted.
THE KASAGI LAUNCHED.
Philadelphia, January 2O.-The Japan
ese cruiser Kasagi was successfully
launched at 1897.

ever built in the United States for for
eign country and is the first foreign war
