"SEATTLE TO MAINE"
An Old Week Feature Originated by a
Former Augusta Name

Among the latest bits of news relative
to the great home coming, was divulged
in letter received last week. by W. d.
Haley of South Gardiner, from the Queen
City of the Northwest, Seattle, in the
state of Washington. 1t was written by
his brother in law, Hon. Otis M. Moore,
a former citizen of Augusta, and man
well known throughout this section of
the State. Mr.. Moore is we'll known to
the press Of Maine, and will be renem-
bered as the former editor and publisher
Of the Phillips Photograph. A few years
ago be went West, realizing the greater
possibilities of that section of the coun-
try, and choosing the city of Seattle as q
good location, has proceeded to grow
up" with it. He has been several times
honored by Washington people, and not
long since was appointed secretary OF the
Puget Sound Bureau of Information,
with his office in Seattle.
Every one knows that thousands OF
Names sons are distri buted through the
West, and that the growth and import
ance in many western cities is due to
the push and energy Of Maine men, and
In this respect Seattle is no exception.
These men are deeply interested in the
Ola Home Week movement, and many OF
them are coming East for the express
purpose of helping to celebrate the coca
sion. In his letter. Mr. Moore states that
car is being fitted out at Seattle, to
bring the party across the continent, and
that everything is nearly In readiness for
the start. The car viii be decorated,
and on the side will be large banners
with the legend: 'Seattle to Maine" in
large letters. If that car does not re-
ceive an ovation all along the route, and
a rousing welcome when it reaches Port
landowners it is expected to arrive, Au
gust I'd, it viii be because men have be-
come speeches..

QUAINT BRIDAL CUSTOMS.

In England there are several wedding
customs peculiar to localities. At Stoke
Cory, for example, a chain OF flowers is
drawn across the street and the bridal
party is not allowed to pass on its way
home until the bridegroom has satisfied
the demands Of the holders for money
whereWith to drink the health of the
happy couple. When the ropes of flowers
are held at several places the toll mounts
up to a considerable sum.
Silver sand is spread on the pavement
in front of the bride house after she has
set out for the church The sand is ar
ranged in the form of wreaths of flowers,
half-moOns and notices and good wishes
for the BRIDES happiness. Other houses
in the street are also similarly adorned,
and numerous flowers of sand and hear.
ty good wishes greet the bride ON her re-
turn to her home. The origin of this
is thus explained. King Canute, after
fording a brook, sat down to shake the
sand out of his shoes. While he was do
long this bridal party passed by, and
he shook the sand in front of them,
wishing Them joy and as many children
as there were grains of sand.
Mrs. GaSkelI wrote that when she was
married all the houses in the town were
sanded, and these were the two favorite
verses inscribed on the sand:
''Long may they live,
Happy may they be,
BIest with content
And from misfortune free"
Unpopular brides have chopped straw
scattered in front of their houses

the church, the prize being a ribbon
presented by the bride. This ribbon is q
substitute for the BRIDES garter, which
used to be taken off as she Knel6 at the
altar and offered as prize for the fleet
est runner. Shooting the bride" is ar
Irish custom. The bridal party is saIut-
ed with shots from muskets and pistols
in every village through which it passes
This is supposed to drive away evil spir-
it's.
On taking day. young men and maid
ems assembled in d park the Sunday pre-.
vIOus to tbs SsGnty fair and selected tneil

are said to follow. A lover is often re.

WAR DOGS.

Germans have no difficulty in training
dogs, Great Danes preferably, for the
purpose of attacking the cycle, corps of
the enemy. Most cyclists think few dogs
require any training in this direction, as
they usually consider all bicyclers foes.
The Great Dane is famed for It's strength,
ferocity and tenacity of purpose.
By far the most interesting services
performed by dogs on German battle
work. Scotch collies are used for this
purpose, wear a saddle with a large red
cross on it and attached to this is u flask
and dressing for wounds. The dogs are
so beautifully schOoled they will scent a
man who in the ordinary course would
have been overlooked by the bearers and
perhaps left to die.
This Society of Red Cross Dogs was
founded in 1898, and is under the disbin-
guished patronage of crowned heads and
army surgeons. There are about 800
members enrolled, and the entire system
of training and supplying these animals
is undertaken gratuitOusly by the sOcie-
ty, the annual subscription amounting to
q trifle under a dollar. The kennels and
training establishment are situated in q
small Rhenish Prussian town, Lechenich,
where about twenty dogs are kept at q
time. When i've months old the training
begins, and continues until the animal is
absolutely under control, from scouting
in the open field and taking messages, to
the more difficult task Of searching for
the wounded ana attending to their needs
in the thickly grit forest.
The French have proved the Invaluable
service of the dog on the battlefield in
A1glefS and Iunls; the Russians made
use CT the dog in their Turkish cam
paign; the Dutch and the Italians have
followed suit.

Robert La Toilette, one of the Repre-
sentatIves from Wisconsin, is practically
certain of the Republican nomination for
governor of that Sstate. He is said to be
exceedingly popular with the young men
of the party. Along with this announce
ment comes the statement that Senator
Spooner has determined to retire from the
Senate, and from politics at the end of
his present term. This Is bad news, for
Mr.. Spooner was one of the ablast, proba-
bly, the very ablest Senator from the
Northwest.

One of the speakers at the Democratic
ratification meeting in Boston on Mon
day night declared that free'siIver at 16 to
one was as dead as Julius Caesar. Yet
that was the question which excited more
debate and upon which the Demo-
cratic national convention declared with
more explicitness than any other. 1t
was the one question, too, which Mr..
Bryan was understood to be the most
insistent on having a distinct and posi-
tive declaration upon. 1t is the one that
the candidate embodies more complete
", too, than any other. 1t is absurd
therefore, to say that She question is dead.
It may be in that condition in Massachu-
setts, but in the West where Bryan ex-
poets to get his votes, and where he will
get them, if at all, it is an exceedingly
live issue. Had it been dropped in the
platform the entire PopuIist party would
have deserted the ticket, AMI so would
the dominant forces of the Democratic
party in every Western state. Bryan did
not oyerest1mate the necessity Of putting
free silver into the platform. He knew
that without it he would be candidate
practically without party.

part and the question where to get them
Is difficult one 60 answer. Our COM
manders in the Philippines believe that
our present force there is too small, a nd
the small Withdrawals that have been
made from them have been made against
their Judgment. It is clear enough to
anybody who is not determined to shut
his eyes to the facts that the population
of Luzon is as hostile to us as it ever was,
and that large withdrawal Of our troops
would almost certainly be followed by a
general and determined outbreak. We
cannot with safely withdraw any more
men from Manila. Per haps some troops
can be spared from Cuba and some from
Porto Rico, and our garrisons at home
can be depleted somewhat, but it is
question if without further increase OF
the army we can provide the troops
which we shall be under moral obligation
to furnish, I if the Instruction spreads
as it is very likely to do. OF course
more TROOPS cannot sbe enlisted ex
cept by the direct authorization of Con-
gress, SO that IAN extra session of that
body is anon the possibilities Of the
near future.

Why is the grOg shop interest so anx-
1ous for license Ii that interest has every
thing it's own way under the law that
outlaws the grog shop? 1t is the statute
that outlaws the gin mill, that the rum
interest hates. Even when the grog
shop is most defiant, it renem bers there
is worm that turns. -Lewiston journal.
We have seen no evidence that the
rumseIlers in this state are anxious for
license, or any other license than what
they have got They are carrying on
their business openly, boldly ana without
any real restriction in every city in this
state, not excepting Lewiston. 10 claim
otherwise is to shut one's eyes to the
facts. The only advantage that license
would bring them would be certainty
as to the amount they would have to
pay, whereas it now is uncertain and de-
ponds to large extent on the whims of
the official ''seizers,' and a tendency
Ierhaps to diminish the number of shops
and therefore the amount of competition.
So-far as we can judge the rumseIlers
are very well satisfied with the present
condition of things. Certainly they
have every reason to be. And we might
add, with equal truth, Judging from
their actions that theSgreat majority OF the
public are well satisfied, too.

General Pilo del Pillar, who has been
up in the north of Luzon urging the IN
surgents to accept amnesty, has returned
and reports that his mission has COM
pIetely failed. The man who accompan-
led him was shot by the natives, and he
himself had narrow escape. Paeidea-
tion is evidently yet some distance off.

The. Hon. Charles DENLY, whose ac-
quaintance with China is second to no
mans in this country, attributes the
present uprising there in large measure,
to the plundering and footing of that
empire by the European powers since
the Japanese war. ''Can it reasonably be
expected, asks Col. DENLY, that the
Chinese should love the white man while
he is plundering them9 Fancy what
would happen if Russia seized Fortress
Monroe and a slice Of Virginia; Germany
Governors Island and a part of New
York; England Mare Island and a half
dozen counties in California, and France
New Orleans and a hundred miles up the
Mississippi! Then suppose that Italy
asked for Charleston. Is 1t to be mag
ined that such events would be taken as
all being for our good, and that we ought
to feel rather proud than otherwise that
the great nations acted SO handsomely
toward us? Yet this is exactly what has
happened in China, with the addition
that Japan took for herself the island
of Formosa. And so the Chinese people
are hostile to the foreigners, and they
show it by riotous demonstrations. -
Nobody can doubt the correctness of Col.
DENLY diagnosis. All Europe has been
treating China as nation that could be
kicked and cuffed ad hbitum Russia,
Germany France and Japan have all
seized portions of her territory on various
f1imsy pretexts, and not satisfied with
this they have been cody planning right
in the hearing OF her people to parcel out
the whole Empire among themselves.
China's prejud1ces and wishes have been
treated as something not worth regarding
in the least. All the plunderers have
now awakened to the fact that China was
not so dead as they thought. The saw
agery which was sleeping has now been
awakened, and the civilized world stands
aghast in the presence of the terrible re-
suits. There is danger even now that the
greediness and selfshness of the Europe
an powers may hamper the movement to
put an end to the atrocities and bring
order out of chaos.

1t is not at all likely that any inteIli-
gent American will undertake to avenge
the massacre that is supposed to have
taken place in Pekin by attacking Chin
csc domiciled in this country But there
are Iawless and excitabIe elements in
our great cities that may be easily
aroused to that kind of vengeance. OF
course to attack and kill an innocent
Chinese in this country would be on par
with the operations of the Chinese mob
in Pekin, not one whit better, and IN
some ways worse, because this country is
a country OF enlightenment, where reason
is supposed to ruls and not blind passion.

the spread of the rebellion by inspiring

OPIUM DIN RAIDED.
Deputy Sheriff Chillineworth and
Others Make a Haul

Deputy High Sheriff ChillIngworth
SISTED by special officer Hanrahan and
others. raided an opium den on Liliha
street last evening, securing twenty
two Chinese, the bowls of several pipes,
scrapings of opium and other evidence
in the case.
The den is a well-known one and
has been raided several times before
1t is situated in the second story of a
frame structure and the windows and
doors were heavily barricaded, so that
the police had to force an entrance
through the floor. They succeeded in
banging up a board of the floor with
long poles; when Chillingworth got
half way through this hole the Chinese
endeavOred to hold him down with a
table. The police succeeded in making
the arrests only after great deal of
trouble. The cases come up i'm the
Police court this morning.
