POWDER MILL DESTROYED.
Believed To Be Work of Enemies of the
Government.

Cincinnati, Ohio, June 20. The finish.
Ing department Of the King Powder COM
pany at Kings Mills, Warden county, WAS
destroyed last night in manner leading
to the belief that it was the work Of
enemies of the government. The build
ing in which was stored quantity of
smokeless powder was evidently fred by
two men near midnight. One of the men
was lady burned and apparently was
dragged away from the building by his
companion who ran away in the direction
of South Lebanon. Smokless powder, in
the condition it was in in this depart
ment does not explode like ordinary
powder, with flash, but breaks into a
bright light and burns for some time
The great light attracted citizens and
some Of these met and captured stranger
going toward South Lebanon. He is ap.
parently a foreigner, but is go badly in
Jured that ne can hardly talk. The
powder burned was not for the govern
ment and the money loss is only about
$4,000. The company has contract to
supply the government and this is
thought to be the reason the destruction
OF the plant was attempted.

THE COUNTY SHOW.
The Managers Say This Years win Be
Better than Ever.

The managers of the Cumberland coun-
ty fair say that this years exhibition is
olng to break the record in the way Of a
successful county show. The ground
work of q fair is the exhibits and the ex-
hlblts are made possible by the premiums
offered so that there may be an interest
OH the part of the exhibitors ia making
their displays as full and attractive as
may be. This year the Gorham managers
have hustled and as a result they have
total of nearly 5000 to be used as special
premiums That is, there will be the
premiums which this money makes posi-
bic in addition to those offered by the
society. The ladies of course will have
their departments of the show well looked
after and especially is this true in the de-
partment arranged for the china decora-
tors. Special premiums have been offered
by Ex-Governor Cleayes, Mayor Randall
of Portland Mayor Moulton of Deering,
Mayor Raymond of Westbrook and County
Attorney Libby in this department. The
opening day of the fair will be children's
day, when the little folks under thirteen
will be admitted free. There will be
special programme on that day for their
entertainment and in addition there will
be a chance for them to see specimens
Of the school work of other children. A
novel propos ition has been made to the
school authorities of the towns in the
county by the management of the fair.
1t is that each town shall offer a premium
for the best work done in it's schools. The
competition would be among the pupils
of each town by themselves but the work
of all the towns would be a part of the
exhibition of the fair. Many of the towns
have sent word that they will arrange
such a contest. In the way of the ,tttrac-
ton which is always relied upon nova
days to fill up the time between the heats
OF the races, the management are consid-
ering having troupe of negro minstrels
who will give performances on a stage
erected by the track and in full view of
the grand stand. This year, too, there

crowds which gather at fairs, conventions

of them told PRESS man the other day
that they should have lots of news before

CAMP BURDETT.
Camp life, even in time Of war, has to
the trained soldier, its humorous as well
as it's serious side, and the arrival of a
batch of recruits, few nights since, at
Camp Burdett opened the. door to many a
practical joke Wise experience has
proved that the new conner must IN a
measure be hardened, or, to use the mill
tary vernacular, he must be "deviled" a
little, to the end that he may better stand
the wear and tear of actual service. Ao-
cordingly the recruits were duly posted on
Sunday last to guard the sinks, patrol
the company streets and gather in Gam
munition for the sabres." Yesterday
morning they were put on picket duty
along the adjoining roads, with instruc-
lions to search every approaching wagon
and seize any 'hard goods which
might be found. This proved to be a
somewhat perilous duty, for while they
encountered no bullets, they were made,
in some instances to feel the force of a
horsewhip from some irate tearnster, who
failed to recognize the right of the men to
engage in search and seizure process,
even when imposed on them as military
joke.

Even the sufferfngs of the Cubans
could not remove these racial feelings
in favor of Spain.
We have endeavored to show, in our
columns, that the racial habits and
ideas of the Hawaiians were, and will
be, strong political factors in their at
tftude towards the alien races here.
They cannot be censured for possessing
them. This statement of the appar-
emily unreasonable attitude Of the Mex
leans and South Americans confirms
what has been said, and especially en-
dorses the views on the racial ques-
ton of Professor Shaler, which were
published in this journal several
months ago.
