Much OF this Is due to the fact that the
appropriations granted by the last legisla-
ture have TO some extent enabled us to carry
out plans inaugurated Immediately upon tax

shown hv all the officers, teachers and em-

the highest TO the lowest. have discharged
their various duties in a way thai calls

WaRicd 10 Ride in Style.

The elegant Pullman cars now being
run on the Maine Central have great
attraction for everybody and not few
attempt at the various stations along
the line to get into them without the
extra ticket which is necessary. This
happens more frequently in the mill
towns when the usual Saturday night
crowds are starting out on the Sunday
visits. There was an amusing scene of
this sllt AT the station in this city re-
Gently when Pullman No. . pulled in.
A lady approached the polite guar
dians of the Pullman cars and present
ed a common ticket She had evident
ly tried it on one of the other porters.
for ne said as soon as she produced the
ticket: she wants to go down other
way. pointing to the rear Of the train
Yes" replied the second porter. after
examining the ticket, "yous wants to
go down there But the lady was not
TO be refused SO easily. I'm going in
here" she said very decidedly. ana
started TO mount the steps. One of the
pnrtcrs was quick enough To get in
ahead of her and the second seized her
but she kept tugging until he loosed
his hold on her. BY this time there
was a porter in each door of the two
cars, so that she was cornered She
chose to enter the left hand door ana
the porter was just then very busy
with his back turned to her, fixing
something about the door. She lost
her temper at this point and began to
pound the broad back of the porter
with her fists. demanding with more
energy than elegance for admittance

turned to the platform for an attack
on the rear Of the enemy. The rear
door of the car was open and She sue

apartment unobserved When the por-
ter was told by the conductor that a
lady in his smoker wanted some cigar

All the preparations have been made
for the excursion of the Gardiner mer-
chants. Wednesday. AS far as can be
given out. the following is the program:

have their dinner and then the boat
will be cleaned up. Leave Five Islands
at about o'clock, and arrive at Bath

of that city and then board cars for
Merrymeeting park. There about two
hours will be passed and arrangements
made for those who desire supper to
have it. Return to Bath so as to leave
for Gardiner at about 10 o'clock The
committee on fishing lines was not able
to obtain a sufficient number of lines
and all who are going fishing and have
not the lines are requested to bring

FlREMAN'S MUSTER.
Local Department to Decide. tonight. About
Holding One in September.

Watcrville now proposes to try her
hand at a firemen'S field day and mus
ter Committees OF three have been ap-
pointed by each company and meeting
will be held, this evening. to see what
action can be taken in the project The
plan as now roughly outlined is to have
the field day some time in September.
The program viii consist of a big parade
and contests and end with bail in the
evening. This. however. has not yet
been decided. but doubtless Will be. this
evening, at the meeting.
The hook and ladder company is talk
ing of attending the muster in Portland
during the Old Home Week celebration,
but this will not interfere with the plans
for the field day later in this city. The
plan Of having field day has been ad-
vanced several times in the past but
never has been pushed. 1t is believed,
however. that it can be this time and
that a very pleasant time can be ar
ranged for the fire ladlies."

THE CARPENTERS' UNION
Wants Shorter Hours. More Pay and Only
Union Men Employed.

The Carpenters Union of this city is
beginning to warm up n bit. The union
has been organized about a year, and
has already accomplished much. The
first demand was for shorter hours,
which was satisfactorily arranged with
the contractors The move now under
consideration by the union is the en-
ployment of union men. 1t is believed
that the conditions are now ripe for the
settlement Of the question. The idea
is to have only union men employed
by the contractors. so that none Of
them may be out of a job and that the
nonunion men will be obliged to give
up their jobs or join the union. Tho
union includes the carpenters of this
city. Fairfield and Oakland
W. ]. Shields of Boston. New Eng
land organizer for the Carpenters
Union. has been at work in the State
during the past few weeks, organizing
new unions. He finds that Maine is
behind the other states in the matter
and wishes to bring it into line. The
object now in view is to have the car
peEters all over the State organized. so
that shorter hours and better wages
can be obtained. 1t is claimed that the
carpenters of the State work longer
hours for smaller wages than in any
other state. 1t is also claimed that
better wages and shorter hours means

Monday afternoon, after shutdown
of about seven weeks. the wheels at the
c. A. Robbins Sons machine shop We're
turned over. That place is hardly rec
ogniZable. a new roof has been built
and throughout there have been many
improvements made. The whole set of
buildings will be repainted and a stone
foundation laid under the main part.
A new and improved boiler room has
been erected. There will be but little
work done at present until all the ma
chinery is tested and found to be in
good condition. This is expected to
take a few days and then the many
orders that they have on hand will
be attended to. Everybody is glad to
see this industry again running, as its
loss meant a great deal to the city.

While Gardiner will probably make
no demonstration during Old Home
Week. there is every prospect that all
who return to their former homes will
be made happy and given a chance to
enjoy a rest, which all will probably
need. There are some Things that il
is hoped will be accomplished that 4
good impression may be left on the
minds of those who do come back One
of the things that move is to be
made to accomplish is that of placing
the public library in condition. At the
fair held. last year, a sufficient sum of
money was raised to accomplish some
of the much needed work. 1t is hoped
that the reading room will be repaired
and cleaned up and new floor laid.
This is one thing that all will appre-
ciate.

an increase in general business. The
idea is to get tn whole State thorough
lv organized So that the demands of
the unions may have a solid backing.
The local union held a meeting in
Union hall. Monday evening. to discuss
the matter of less hours per week, in
creased wages and the employment OF
union men. Nothing was done which
the members wish To make public al
present. II is said that the contrac-
tors are taking kindly To the union and
with one or two exceptions are willing
to settle things satisfactorily. Thus far
the relations between them have been
wholly friendly.

AT a meeting of the Gardiner Fire
mems Association. last evening. a
unanimous vote was taken that the
men should attend the muster at Port
land, Aug. Z. An invitation was ex-
tended to the Heca Engine Co. of
Randolph. to attend with them and
also that their captain, Oliver Moulton.
should be on the top of the machine
with the Deluge captain. The engine
will be taken out, this evening. for a
trial and it is hoped that all the men,
bers and those interested in her work
shall turn out with her. There is no
reason why the Gardiner Company can
not take first money, for which the
bOYS are going.
