CHARLES BhGLEy
Leet's Entertain.

The social world was called upon
last FRIDAY night to don their fash
ionable evening dress and repair to
the spacious home Of Mr.. and Mrs. F..
M. Leet. A flood of mellow light
seemed to permeate every room and
the twinkling from every window
spoke words of welcome to the as.
sembled guests. Each was met at the
door by the hostess. whose firm hand
grasp told of welcome more elo-
quent than words. The host stood
at the door OF the reception room,
and his free, hearty debonair greet
ing placed every guest at ease and
made them feel that in the atmos-
phere OF luxury and refinement that
surrounded them, there was the
chivalry, ease and. courtesy of an
open handed hospitality.
Luncheon was served from seven to
nine on the spacious, roomy, porch.
A million harpies seemed to have
gathered on the branches of the trees
touching the assembled guests with
the magic wand of congeniality, while
aeolean harps seemed to lull the rest
less nerves to fit the responsive spirit
of the neighbor. Soft Zephyrs kissed
the cheek OF house wives and they
forgot their cares in the pleasure of
the present, and cooled the throbbing
brain of the business man till his mind
responded with Respondent wit and
humor.
The luncheon was beautifully
served and consisted of the most deli
cate viaDds with which the most adept
epicurean reyeler could find no fault.
| After luncheon the guests were in
vited to again enter the brilliantly
lighted rooms to enjoy the program
that had been arranged, and they
were entertained and delighted with
representations that made them feel
the ideal of the author, or they lis
tened to music that carried them in
fancy away to the better things of
life. 1t was an evening OF solid en-
ioyment to the guests and brilliant
triumph ITO the hospitality of the
host and hostess. Below we give a
list of the invited guests.

Upriver Ice Coming Down.

The ice was running over the dam.

meant the speedy clearance Of the
river For some little time there has
been Il shall blockade some distance
above the dam and that has refused To
start. During the past day or two the
water has been rising steadily and,
Yesterday. it was high enough to in
sure that the jam would be broken.
The ice began to run over the dam in
pieces. during the morning. but in the
afternoon it broke up 50 rapidly that
il was in sheets from 10 to Il feet long.
There was water enough over the top
of the dam to make certain that no
damage would be caused by the ice
going out. An idea of how soft the ice
is was gained when it was seen that
ii was broken into small pieces when
it went under the bridge.
The ice began to run early in the
morning and. at nightfall, the river be
low the dam was one floating mass of
white ice.

STATE HOUSE.
Returns Show That Horse Flesh
Must Advance.
Work on Rotunda Is Perfectly Salts
factory.
A Days Gossip Of the Departments at the
Capitol.

An examination of the returns to the
State assessors during the past SIX years
leaves little room for doubt that the
price of horses must increase in short
time. and with the increased demand
there Is slight question there will be
more work done in horse breeding.
The reports show that the number OF
horses in the State in 1891 was 125,1Ni,
with 122S yelrlng colts in 1896 l52.53i
horses with 3651 yearling colts; i'll 1895
1882 horses and 2i69 yearlnG colts; III
1899. 13l. o93 horses with 1908 colts. As there
are not enough colts to take the place Of
the horses that will drop out il must Of
necessity follow that the price will adj
vance.
The falling off in the breeding was dug
to the supply Of Western horses which
were raised in great numbers and
shipped East. Il great many being sold in
this State. At the same time the VI tinc
people were breeding horses 50 that the
market was Gluttrd with the slight de
mand the price began to fall off and
breeding WIS stopped.
As there has been 4 Lack If breeding in
the West as well as in this State and the
supply is falling short. il cannot he long
before the price must 30 M. In fact the
price has advanced in 4 great many
~ aces ana the horse buyers. not only
f. IN tbs State but from New York and
Hv. ton. ire complaining that they cau-
not get what they want for horses.
The number of trotting horses. too, has
dropped off this being due partially t. the
attempt, several years ago, II the breed
inG for speed but more to the business
depression.
In former years a great many oxen
were used in the Maine woods in lumber
ing operations. They were used too. a.-
most wholly in the farm work. but with
the decline in the price If horse flesh the
farmers began to use horses in place IF
oxen as being more speedy. The same
was true with the lumbermru.
Another thing that was responsible for
the use Of oxen being stopped WIS the
low price If beef. one of the Ilvau-
tages iii using oxen was that tile amin II
grew II more value every year up To- 4
certain limit. and when sold for beef
brought good return for the money in
vested in addition % the money the TX
earned while waiting for thu slaughter.
Now that the price Of horse flesh is to
advance it is probable that more oxen
Will be used. An examination Of figures
yesterday morning. showed that in one
town in Kennebec county where the only
industry is farming. except one large
plant. the operatives of which live in Il
neighboring town. was last year. but one
pair of oxen.
