INSPECTORS GOOD WORK.

ROcindo, a countryman of Admiral
Montojo and Admiral Cervera, was
charged in the District Court this morn
ing with changing his abode without a
permit. The evidence showed that he
was a refugee from the Weaver build
who had in some way escaped going to
quarantine as all the rest of the people
from that building had done. The
charge against him was mol pressed
and he was turned over to the Board of
Health. Judge Wilcox pointed out that
this was a case showing the efficiency
and good work of the Sanitary Commit
tees sub-inspectors as it was they who
had discovered him.

Drill is an essential part of discipline.

Obey the word Of command, but there
Is this difference between the drill OF
the past and the present. Formerly
the idea was to make the men act in
compact body under the immediate
command Of the commanding officer,
and muslxetry was looked upon merely
as minor sort of adjunct. Nowadays

Education FOR the Ministry.

Though, on the whole, the movement
both within and without the church Is
toward a higher standard of education
for the ministry, the fatal ease with
which a particular case is judged to be
a legitimate exception to the general
rule eventuptes in altogether too long
a list of men taking only half course
Of study We do not say that there
are no legitimate exceptions. though we
do maintain that exceptions are too
readily discovered. Never was the
need of the culture bestowed by uni

the clergy than now. just because high

Another Comm in;ca.;on on Gasoline.
Editors Kennebec Journal:

Editors Kennebec Journal:
Having read two communications in
the Daily. Journal in regard to gaso-
line lamps and both being against
them | thought it no more than fair
that some one should nave their little
say in favor of them, and using two of
them in my house and knowing others
that are using one, two and three
each, l think l can speak with some
knowledge in regard to them. | con-
slider the light equal to anything now
in use and the cost Of the gasoline to
run a lamp is less than anything |
know of to get the same amount of
light AS regards their safety, | con-
slider them as safe or safer than kerO-
sene. The aperture through which the
gasoline is fed to the lamp is about
the size of a cambria needle and the
gas which burns is a mixture of the
vapor of the gasoline and air-the
lamp manufacturers claim is that it
uses 80 per cent. of air and 10 per cent.
of gasoline. When you light the gaso-
line lamp there is no increase of flame
from what is started. while with kero-
sene if not carefully watched there is
danger of it's drawing up and smoking
and creating heat enough to explode
the lamp. In handling gasoline care
must be taken in bringing lighted
lamp near an open can of it, but as
understand it a full can of gasoline can
be lighted from the top and will be
consumed without an explosion, but
beware of lighting it when the can is
partly filled with air as then there Will
be an explosion that will probably
scatter things. but there is no danger
from gasoline lamp properly made,
as they are considered absolutely safe
and are approved by the Insurance
Underwriters of Chicago. New York
state Pennsylvania and others. In
surance companies generally give per-
mits to use them the same as they do
to use gasoline stoves. The safe way to
handle gasoline is to handle it by day
light Do not fill your lamps only by
daylight, although it is considered alb
solutely safe while burning in the
lamp. A great many who read this
will remember-as | do-what time
there was when kerosene first came
into use; a great many would as soon
have q roaring lion in the house as a
can of kerosene. l think that the
gasoline lamp is coming and coming to
stay. Buy a good lamp-as there are
good and bad, the same as with other
things-and with proper and intelli-
gent care there will be no trouble.

Chder the supervision of Col. E. c.
harrington, the National Guard Of this
state has developed into a good body
OF sklilfu. marksmen. Although there
mas been considerable trouble in re-
CARDS TO the matter of suitable ranges
yet Wonderful results have come about
through the hard work of Col. Far
1lngton, his assistants and the men
themselves and Maine is thoroughly
capable of maintaining her position in
the front rank of the different state
guards when it comes to test of
shooting ability.
Some CT the states are remarkably
strong in this respect while others are
very weak. Among the leading 10
should be placed Maine, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets. Illinois. Georgia, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, California and to the list
should be added the District of
Columbia. Col. harrington is a
director of the National Rifle Asso-
citation, being elected to the office no
doubt through the high reputation as
marksInen of the men who have been
under his instruction and also to his
personal reputation and the interest he
takes in the work.
Maine will probably be much in evil
dencc at the interstate matches to be
held at Sea Girt, n. j., next fall, as
there is a desire among the boys to
pit their skill against the countrys
best marksmen and unless every indi-
cation fails a gOodly share of honor
will reflect upon this State. The State
has been but once represented at the
interstate shoots and on that occasion
made an enNia BILE record.
