GOOD RoADs MEETING.

Secretary B. Walker AIcKeen of the
State Board of Agriculture, is making
Preparations for the Good Roads meeting
that is to be held the latter part of the
month in the State House. He has not
yet decided where he will have it held,
but it is probable that the meeting viii
BIZ held in the Senate chamber, as the
audience can be better accommodated
there than in his own office.
II am convinced, " said Mr.. McKeen,
''that the money which is being spent,
today on the Maine roads, is accom-
plishing better results than ever before.
The people are getting more for their
money and the result is the roads are in
better condition. There is no question
that the farmers are aWaking to the ne
cessity of good roads,
mo more money is being appropriated.
perhaps, but that which is spent is used
in such manner that the roads are
growing better and better. 1t is a
strange thing that in the localities where
you would expect that the roads would
be built in the most intelligent manner
are the places where the roads are the
worst. The trouble seems to be in some
of the localities that the commissioners
use the road machine too much. That is,
they scrape so deep that the road is
smooth at the sides, and with the loose
earth piled IN the middle the people re-
fuse to drive in the middle of the road,
but keep to the sides, Still, the people
are getting out of that, and it VIII be
but short time before the Maine roads
will be in q good condition.

Mike, the mascot of the ship. Mike
is goat and very pretty one. too. He
knows every one on board the shin from
mess attendants up to the commanding
officer, and while he much prefers to
make his quarters somewhere forward Of
the quarter deck, he does not hesitate to
intrude upon that forbidden territory
when he SO desires. This goat is an insti :
tuition ON the Indiana, which has been
seen by ali visitors and has probably
been petted and oheered by more people
in the course Of his life than any other
goat that ever lived. He always takes
part in the parades In which the men
from the Indiana take part and trots
along the streets with them as though he
had a great deal to do with the show
When the battalion from the Indiana
marks time, Mike marks time, too.
When they halt. he halts at the word of
command and remains until the com
mand forward is given. He is never rat
tied by the crowds, never impollte or
abusive to the Indiana's guests and IN
fact some of the Jackies say he knows as
much as any man on board the ship.
When the captain makes the Sunday
morning inspection of the ship Mike trots
along behind the gold laced officers to
see that everything is all right. 50 much
is thought of Mike on the Indiana that
half the men would desert II he should
leave the ship which he has never
shown any disposition to do.
I here is another thing on the Indiana
which is worth seeing. Tt is the hole
where the eight-inoh she'll from a Span
ish gun plunged through the deck and
exploded below. This was on the star
board side Of the quarter deck just for
ward of the ward room hatch. It is plain

unobservant visitor never fails to see It.
Another thing to attract attention IS
the big 13-inch guns IN the after turret
and the tompions which are marked
about the star with the engagements IN
which this particular gun has been fired.
The list Is quite a long one ana as may
be seen In the photograph covers all Of
the important commandments and en-
gagements on the Cuban and Porto Rico

many people far more interesting and

these distinguishing marks and tell peo-
pie all bout them.

SAIL INTO THE AIR.
Man Makes An Ascension Who Didn''
MEAN To.


Brunswick, August 9.-The programme
of today's celebration at Merrymeeting
park was to include balloon ascension
and parachute jump by Prof. Stevens of
Lewiston. Mr.. Stevens had as an assis-
tant man named King. just as the bal
loon was released King had become so en-
tangled in the ropes that he could not
extrfcate himself and he was taken into
the air with it, The big air ship sprang
into the air and sailed up reaching an
latitude of probably a Thousand feet.
Urged by Stevens, who was seated in
the trapeze, King clung desperately to
the ropes The balloon finally began to
sink and came down into the top of
pine tree King had his face scratched
badly. but beyond that was uniniured.
