THAT BAND STAND.
It Seems to Be Practically Without a
Friend.
Sewers to Be Flushed BY Sanitary Inspector
City Affairs.

"Nobobdy Loves Me" would be good
song for the band stand on Monument
park to be singing these days when
there is no music cmanating from the
place in the way of band concerts, and
when the people are complaining that
the stand is nuisance. The fact that
nobody loves the place came near be
an order was introduced in the board
of aldermen for the removal of the
stand to the city property on Capitol
street, better known as the gravel pit,
where it was to be used for the pur-'
pose of a store house.
The order did not pass but there is
likely to be something done with the
stand before long. The west side peo
pie wish to make the east siders pre-
sent of the stand and the east side
people ask what the west siders have
against them. Since the pretty stand
has had it's day of usefulness there
seems to be no use for it but to call
the people to that section Of the park
and wear away the grass. 1t is claim
ed by the people about the corner that
the stand is a nuisance in more than
one way.
The state House people will not ad-
init of the stands being moved down
to the corner of Capitol and State
l, -,
it is said. do not approve of it's being
moved down at the corner of Winth-
rop and State streets. 1t is really too
bad, the aldermen think. to destroy
the building that cost little over $500,
but really, they say, they must be rid
of it from the park.
The order relating to it is handily
upon the table and it can be called up
at any time for action.
Alderman Sewall presented an order,
Saturday evening, reconsiderlng the
vote of the last regular meeting in re-
gard to widening Green street by the
removal of the trees in front of the
house of Mrs. French. This order
quickly had a passage and the order
relating to the widening of the side
walk at that point was tabled. 1t is
believed by Alderman Sewall and
others that these trees should not be
removed. The order originated in the
common council. The trees on the
sidewalk possibly do take up fully one
foot and one half of the walk, but they
are beautiful trees.
The committee on highways called up
the matter of flushing the sewers and
asked whether it is to be done, this
year by the board of health or by the
highway committee. The result of the
discussion that showed there had been
some misunderstanding between the
board and the committee, was that an
order was introduced clearly outlining
the duty This order instructs the
sanitary inspector to flush all sewers
when it is necessary and it was I'M
derstood by the order that the expense
is to come from the appropriation for
the board of health. 1t is further I'M
derstood that the flushing refers only
to the flushing on account of the bad
sanitary conditions. and that the street
department will as in the past care for
the clearing of the catch basins of mud
and gavel that may wash into them
from the streets.

of the steam roller as it works near the
postoffice rolling the crushed rock, and

The humane driver does not care to
whip his horse for being frightened of
the machine in such a bad place, so
there are few cases where the drivers

Making Up the Lists for Travelling
Libraries.
Library Commission 10 Meet ADJUST TO-
State Assessors Itinerary.

Prof. G. T. Little of Bowdoin College
brary commission, has submitted to State
Librarian Carver a number of lists Of
books which represent his idea in the Sc
lection of the books that are to be pur
chased for the libraries He has submit
ted in all II lists of 25 books each. Ac-
cording to the plans Of the commission
there are to be about 25 libraries with 30
books in each, SO there is still quite a liz
tie work before the commission in max
ing up lists. Each member will compile
lists and in this way they sure 20
have some good ones.
In Prof. Little's lists are found many
very choice books and some have fine as
sortments. He has made one or two of
the lists juvenile and fiction, and then in
others he devotes them to some particu-
lar country. He has one on Italy with
both histories and fiction and the writing
of famous authors on the subject.
Other lists show great assortment OF
books there being fiction. science and his
tory combined. 1t is planned to have the
!: greater number of the libraries made up
in this manner, while a few will be de
voted to some particular branch of read
ing.
The commission will hold n meeting in
Bangor, Thursday. August 10, for the
purpose of comparing lists and in select
ing from those submitted by each person
such as the others approve. Each will, of
course, have suggestions that may be Of
value to the commission in regard to eacn
others lists. In a few of those of Prof
Little which seem to be so very excellent.

with books has made possible for him to

WOMAN'S AGE.

The common objection among woman
kind to letting their age be known is
not shared by the women of Japan, who
actually display their cycle of years in
the arrangement of their hair. Girls
from nine to fifteen wear their locks
interlaced with red Grape in a semi
circle round the head, the forehead be-
ing left free, with a curl at each side.
From the ages of fifteen to thirty, the
hair is dressed very high on the fore
head, and gathered up at the back, in
the shape of a butterfly or fan with
twistings of silver cord, and perhaps a
decoration of colored balls. Beyond the
milestone of thirty woman twists her
hair round a shell pin, which is placed
horizontally at the back of the head.
Quite differently, again, a widow ar
ranges her couture, and the initiated
are able to tell at a glance whether she
desires to marry again or not.
