-FOUR RECRUITS, SATURDAY.
Orders Received to Send the Recruits to
Fort Ethan Allen.

1t is amazing to see the number Of
men who desire to enlist in the SER
vice of the United States, who cannot
be accepted on account of conditions
Lieut.. w. II. Wilson was making up
his tri-monthly report, Saturday after
noon, and he found that in the last 10
days he has rejected 80 men without
giving them to the surgeon for ex-
animation. Some were married. others
We're over so years of age. others under
p, and without the consent Of their
parents, still others were buns and not
wanted. Some We're over weight and
others under weight. There are dozens
of little details in which the men pass
an examination by the lieutenant be-
fore he decides whether he will accent
them to go to the surgeon.
Saturday was very good day in the
recruiting line. Out Of five applicants
four were accepted. These four men
are Alexander V. Macdonald Of this |
city. an employee of the Augusta Lum-
Der Co.. William NJ. Powers of Oak
land, Boyd II. Boston of Benton Falls, |
a foreman in one of the mills there, |
and Charles S. Hill Of Augusta, a wood |
worker, 20 years Of age and veteran
Of the late Spanish war
BY the orders received, Saturday, it
seems likely that the recruiting office
will be kent oDen for a time longer.
The lieutenant received orders from his
regiment to send along the recruits
and nothing further. He at once made
requisition upon the chief recruiting
officer at Portland for TRANSFORMATION
for his recruits. - in number. and as
soon as this arrives he will send the
men on to Fort Ethan Allen. and will
recruiting until further or
lers from his colonel:

STATE HOUSE.
The New Cover Design for

The Fish and Game Laws Do Not
Prohibit Sunday Fishing.
First District Nominees for Congressman File
Acceptance Papcrs-Other Hens.

There is slight discussion going on
as to whether Sunday is a close time
to fishing and hunting, as everyone
always supposed, according to the fish
and game laws enacted by the last
Legislature. 1t is not close time so far
as that department is concerned, for
fishing. though it is for hunting.
1t is commonly spoken of in referring
to the game laws that Sunday is
close time on both fishing and game,
but there is nothing in them, so Chair
man Carleton and Hon. p. 0. Vickery
state, that refers to Sunday fishing.
So far as the real law goes. though
there is another law that covers both
without the aid of the fish and game
laws. and that is the general law for
Sunday observance. This is law that
is enforced according to local senti-
ment. They tried at one time last
summer to close fishing in Belgrade
waters on Sunday. The movement
was started in that section and coun-
sci was engaged to see what could be
done about it. The lawyers said that
fishing on Sunday certainly could
be stopped by the officers. even
though the game and fish war
dens would have no power
over anything of the sort. 1t was de-
cided. however, that the stopping of
Sunday fishing would injure the Bel
grade waters and all that section SO
much that it would not be profitable to
push the law.
So TIE Journal was wrong, Saturday
morning, when it said there was a law
in the fish and game Jurisdiction over
the Sunday fishing. The hunter.

There Il one example in the arith-
metic used in the Grammar schools Of
this city that is bothering every one.
and it is at last pronounced impossible
to solve 1t. There il no answer given
to the question in the book, 50 the
pupil cannot know whether or not he
gets the correct answer even by guess
ing at the manner of doing it, This ex-
ample is in Customs and duties and it
asks what would be the duty on a GER
tain amount Of shelIac in case the
adyalorum duty on the shellac was a
certain per cent. and the specific duty
on the alcohol in the shellas was an
other per cent. Now, as all carpen-
ters and painters know, the amount Of
alcohol in shellac varies and no rule
can be made. There must be some
general average to get at the question.
This example was sent to the Portland
and to the Boston custom houses and
IN both places the decision was that it
could not be solved. as they had no
rule to go by in a case Of the sort. and
used a different method Of assessing
duty on shellac. Doubtless many

Every man has a preference as to
who should shin his shoes and there is
not a man who has pride enough TO
keep his shoes looking decent who does
not find fault with half of the boot
blacks in the business. One Of the
boot blacks will omit the heel. making
the shoe look as bad as though it had
not been touched. and another will
leave some other part unfinished.
There are a certain few Of the profess
sion whom the travelling men swear
by. They will tell one another Of the
superior qualities of these men With as
much interest as a horseman will talk
of horse. The good boot black has
friends among his patrons, but the
poor one is patronized only as often as
it is impossible to get time to go to an
other.

Hon. L. 7. Carleton closed the con-
tract. Saturday, for the cover design
for his guide book on Maine hunting
and fishing. The artist who was given
whose home is in Augusta though he
has a studio in Boston. It is one of
the most alluring designs that was
ever seen on a cover page, and Mr.
Carleton was so very much pleased
with it that he at once drew his check
for $50 to pay for the drawing. 1t was
made according to Mr.. Cartoons
ideas.
1t has the usual title and other in
scriptions and three distinct sketches.
on the right is 4 picture representing
a fishing scene. The man who has
out about $50 feet of line. An immense
salmon can be seen breaking water at
that distance with the line drawn up
taut. The man who has been padding
has brought the boat around so that
at the same time so that the said man
ager of the boat can watch proceed
ings and manage the boat skillfully.
In the center of the cover is another
sketch representing a man in outing
costume. a gun case in his right hand
and a copy of Carletons book in the
other, which he is intently studying to
see where in Maine is the best place
for him to go. Nearby is suit case
marked Maine" and on it are
strapped the fish rods and other equip
ments.
The third design is a moonlight scene
that would make anyone long for the
solitude of the backwoods lakes in the
fall Of the year. A canoe with two
spOrtsmen is seen going up along the
bank of stream, and just in the
range of the moonlight on the water.
The man in the bow has q rifle across
his knees, while in one hand is large
birch horn such as the guides use for
calling moose at certain phases of the
moon Silhouetted against the moon
light is the head and shoulders of
large bull moose that has just poked
his head out of the bushes to get a
look around, and to see where his mate
is that he believed he heard calling for
him. One can almost imagine ones
self in that boWman's place as he hears
mense head appear not so yards away.
At once the rifle will be raised and the
moon will gleam along the barrel as,
shooting directly in the direction Of
the moon, he put bullet through the
head of the king of the Maine forests.
Mr.. Carleton has watched with in
terest the progress of Mr.. Dunton as
an illustrator of sporting articles,
which seems to be his stronghold
though he does all classes of work with
equal ease and success. Mr.. Dunton
has of late been writing stories and
! illustrating them for sporting maga-
zines, the last Amateur Sportsman
! having a long and profusely illustrated
! one of merit. 1t shows, as the other
! illustrations he has made for other
magazines do, that he has made a deep
and Thorough study of all the differ
ent game of Maine in its native heath
and has withal the true sportsman's
instinct combined with his artistic
ability. Mr.. Dunton is the designer of
the cover on the current issue of the

Wednesday.
Many applications for registration,
as a guide are being received each day
of late at the Office of the commission
ers of inland fish and game These are
from the men who desire to guide
during the deer shooting season, and
every application is sent in with the
request to hurry along the license, by
the next mail if possible.
The applicants have waited until the
very last minute, and in consequence
will have TO wait for a time. because it
is not the custom to send out licenses
to people whom the commissioners do
not know in the least. Their refer
ences must be proved and the game
wardens of the sections from which
they come asked about the applicant.
All this has to be done in order to
protect the sportsmen who hire the
guides.
A strange story comes from The
Forks of the trouble a bull moose has
been causing there. An extract from
the letter of Game Warden Frank Dur
gin in relation to it will tell the story:
1T is stated, and apparently on good
authority that parties have been
chased and teams stopped by bull
moose between here and Parlin pond
John +. Durgin says one chased him
half mile between the Parlin Pond
road and Chase stream. John Ken
nedy with d tote team was stopped by
one on the 10 thousand acre tract. II.

have been chased by one about a mi
above the place where Wade saw that
one. Says he ran along aside the
stage and horse about 80 rods"

A Magnificent Production.

A Cuban war play founded upon
our late war with Spain, should be
an attraction above all others to
win the hearts ofour citizens. The
Prisoner of Spain is said to contain
some well known actors. The un-
failing success of this play is in part
owing W the splendid and pictur-
esque scenery with which the piece
is dressed, the stage settings are ac-
curate in detail as they are beauti-
ful in effect. The comedy is first
class and the dramatic element is
singularly fascinating, possessing a &
it does, stirring and romantic
martial spirit, tempered with the
qualities of a refined and high class
drama. The play is in every wav
deserving of the remarkable success
which has attended it. TO be at
