THE MAINE POLO LEAGUE.
A Forecast from Bangor As 10 Prospects for
Next Season.

The following from the Bangor News
in relation to the polo prospects for mex
season in Maine will be read with in
terest:
As the winter season draws near pcopia
are naturally anxious to learn what is Il
be offered them during the winter for
amusement. Last w.nter-that is. the
greater part of tive had polo in Bango.
and II caught on well in the town. Peo
pie attended the games in large numbers
and had the other teams in the league
been as well patroniZed the league would
have continued through the season. As
it was, difficulties that We're entirely un-
looked for came up. and it was decided to
be for the best interests of the league TO
end the season before the schedule was
played out.
At the time Of the disbandment Of the
Maine League. the Bangor Daily News
intended 10 reorganZe the league this
winter and To have a stronger and better
circuit of towns 1t now looks as though
this would be the case.
For some time past the men intereStct
in polo in the various Maine cities have
been in correspondence with one another
in regard to the matter and have TO a
certain extent decided to make another
try. this winter The men who had the
Bangor team are willing and anxious to
put team in the field, providing, OF
course. that a good circuit IS obtained.
Manager Mcguire tells the writer that
he is confident that the league will be a
go. and that it will be a success and fin
sh the season. He thinks that the season
will open by the middle of .,ovember.
As to the towns that VII compose the
league. that is a matter which cannot be
settled until after a meeting of those in
terested in the matter has been held. it
s understood that Portland. Bath. Rock
land, Gardiner, Waterville and Bangor
want to come in. OF course there is little
or no doubt but what the game will pay
Rockland has always been a fine polo
town. Gardiner and Waterville claim to
have good support. AS for Lewis ton.
there is some doubt about a team repre-
senting that city. as the game did not
prosper there last year. and no one seems
to feel like taking hold of it.
1t is understood that the league Will
adopt salary limit that will be in ac
cordance with what the business war
rants.

RAILS GROUND 70 Dust.
Effect Of The Constant Wear and Tear on
Railroad.

"As consumers of steel the railroads
in the vicinity of Pittsburg lead the
world said the railroad man. During
the past three months 40 miles of new
steel rails. averaging 80 pounds to the
yard, have been put down or distribu-
ted within 80 miles Of the center of the
city.
There are 1860 yards in a mile. which
would mean 299,200 yards for one line
of rails in 10 miles, or 26,92S, 900 pounds,
or say 53,S56.O0O pounds for both lines
OF rails. or 269.2S3 tons of steel rails
needed in one year for Pittsburg roads,
80 per cent. of which was for renewals
on old lines.
There is somewhat of a mystery re-
garding where the steel worn out on a
big road goes to. 1t is ground down
almost to imperceptible dust by the
constant friction of the grinding wheels,
and this friction is 45 per cent. greater
on curves than on straight stretches of
track. The wear is also much greater
on ascending grades on straight
track than on a descending grade. On
curves the wear is mostly lateral or
horizontal. while on straight tracks it
is perpendicular, with q slight incli-
nation toward the inside of the rail
next to the hanges of the wheels.
The millions of tons of steel ground
down TO dust by the wheels of trains
in this country are lost. 1t cannot be
regainod for scrap because it settles
down into the ballast, is brushed away
by the rush of air caused By the swift
ly moving train, and. like the star dust
which falls upon the ocean, is lost for
ever.
In time, as civilization and the
wheels of civliZltio move on, the rail
roads of the chief steam railways. as
will become thoroughly impregnated
with steel and iron dust from the grind
ing up of rails and wheels. because it
must be remembered that the wheels
grind the rails and the rails grind the
wheels. and this constant shower Of
iron and steel dust is accommodating
along our railroads at a rapid rate.

.CL ARK MAY NOT Be CLARK
Generally Conceded That the
Prisoner Is Another Clark.
A STRANGE RESEMBLANCE
The Denver Man Will Be Held Until 1t
Is Positively Determined That
He Is Not the Man
Wanted.

Is Clark Clark, or is Clark not Clark !?
That is the question. 1t is pretty gen.
orally conceded now that Clark is not
Clark, but he will stay in Jail just the
same until it is fully and finally de-
termned that he is not Clark.
In order that the reader may
know who Clark is, it might be
well to state that Clark is
the man whom Sheriff Jack Conley
brought back from Denver day before
yesterday under the impression that he
is Ed Clark, who is wanted for at
tempting to hold up Fred and Joe
Gangner's saloon on Nov. 10, and who
succeeded in making good his escape.
When it became apparent that Ed
Clark was no longer in Anaconda, pho
tographs and descriptions were sent
broadcast over the country. Finally,
about month ago, Sheriff Conley re-
ceved from the Denver chief of police
a photograph of a prisoner in the re-
formatory there, which seemed to be
as true a likeness of Ed Clark as it
were possible to get. The description
accompanying the photograph likewise
tailed with the description of Ed
"
lice wrote that the prisoner gave the
name of John Clark.
None of the officers in the sheriff S
office knew Ed Clark and they submit
ted the photograph to a hundred or
more people who said they knew Ed
Clark we'll, All of them, with possibly
one or two exceptions, were ready to
swear that the photograph was one of
Ed Clark. Some of them were so sure
that they offered to bet anything from
a thousand dollars to their lives on it..
The exceptions said it looked like Ed
Clark. but they could not swear to it.
Anyway, Sheriff Conley was assured
and treasured that the picture was that
of Clark, and that the description tall
lied exactly and that there could not
be any possibility of a doubt about
1t. So Mr.. Conley got a requisition
from Governor Smith and went to
Denver He got his man without any
trouble, brought him back and locked
him in Jail, where he now is. Several
people have called at the Jail to see
Clark since his arrival, but nearly all
of them are sure that the man is not
Ed Clark, although admitting that the
resemblance is most remarkable.
The identity of this Clark, with refer
ence to whether or not he is Ed Clark,
will be fully, conclusively and positively
determined before he is released. and
until such time he will be held in Jail.
The crime for which John Clark was
arrested and imprisoned at Denver was
the theft of gold watch from lady.

TO-NIGHT'S ATTRACTION.
"School for Scandal" at the Margaret
This Evening.

"School for Scandal" at the Margaret
This Evening.
The engagement of the great triple
star alliance Louis James, Kathryn
Kidder and Frederick Warde, at the
Margaret this evening, will be the theat-
rical event of the season in Anaconda.
They will present the famous and his
torc comedy THE School for Scandal
with the most notable cast that has
been given this play since it's revival in
1874, by Augustin DAILY, in which COM
pany Louis James was then leading
man.
The name of the comedy is testimony
of two things: The authors original
motive and his belief in its fascination.
The scandal-mongers. social eXQuisites,
open the piece and appear once after
wards in scenes of the most polished
and incisve wit that is known to the
drama. LAS my little productions are
mostly satires and lampoons on partic-
ular people" says Sir Benjamin Back
bite. Il find they circulate more read
lily by giving copies in confidence to
the friends of the parties" Again this
worthy. speaking, of course, of an alb
sent friend, TT is not that she paints
so ill., but when she has finished her
face, she joins it so badly to her neck,
that she looks like mended statue, in
that the head is modern, through the
trunk is antique" But Sheridan made
these amusing gossips his background
finally, and advanced the fun to be had
from the young wife welded to the old
husband, Lady TeaZle and Sir Peter
Teazle, and brace of fashionables, the
antithical rakish Charles Surface and
his plausible brother Joseph, who, when
the surface is probed, are disclosed in
converted positions. The complications
of the comedy are a continued source of
hilarity, and the crest of every wave Of
laughter is uninterrupted with the MINI
blest sit imaginable. The auction of
the al 'stors and the screen scene are
more nous than any other two scenes
in com y.
Manas RS Wagenhals & Kemper have
given the play production of scenic
splendor, a carload Of scenery, proper
ties. furniture and draperies being en-
ployed in it's presentment.
The seats for to-night's performance
have been going rapidly and to-day's
sale will exhaust the house. There are
still some desirable seats to be had in
the parquette, and bare few in other
parts of the theater. Those who desire
to secure seats for the big attraction
must be the early birds.
