Old Home Meek al Bath.

Bath has done herself proud in pre-
pairing her program for the Old Home
Week celebration and marine carnival.
Her celebration will not begin until
Thursday. Aug. 9. after most of the
other towns have finished theirs. Ger
tainly no city in Maine is more inter-
esting to visitors than Bath today. In
her dozen of shipyards $4,000 tons of
shipping are now under construction,
including the giant six-masted schoon-
err. the largest in the world.
AT the Bath Iron Works there is the
monitor Connecticut with her fighting
top in place. some of her armor aboard
and nearly ready for launching. Next
to her lies the cruiser Cleveland and in
the water at the pier the torpedo boat
Barney and large steamer Maverick oil
the Standard Oil Co. At the yard of
Arthur Sewall & Co. the large steel
sailing ships for the Standard Oil Co.
are under construction. In the other
yards there are schooners of all kinds
and in all stages of construction.
But Bath has arranged many attrac-
tive features for out-of-town days on
Aug .. 10, H. II and Is. On Thursday,
there will be a reception. Grafton and
poem by her celebrated sons, the ora
ton by Rev. Geo. Bicknell, D. D., of
Cambridge, and the poem by Frank
w. Hawthorne of New York City. 1t

the four-masted schooner Maud Palm
err will occur on that forenoon, Aug. 9.
Friday forenoon. there will be the
grand church. civic and military pa
va Tn 40
ial yacht and launch races, open to the
State. for which $3.50 in prizes has been
awarded. AT o'clock, there will be
a balloon ascension and parachute
leap on the park. In the evening. there
will be reception in the Alameda and
concert by the Bath Band.
Saturday noon, the famous battle
ships Kentucky and Massachusetts
will arrive in the city from Portland.
Special salutes have been arranged. as
well as procession by all the river
craft in the vicinity. AT about the
same time the launching of the five
masted schooner VIM. c. Carnegie will
take place at Percy & Smal's ship
yard The Carnegie is the largest five
maSted schooner ever built on the At
lantic coast. Saturday evening, there
win be a grand water carnival and ma
rine pageant under the auspices Of the

Special rates and excursions will be
run from all neighboring towns and
cities.

Couldn't Tame a Wildcat.

Augusta has wild animal tanner.
One of those kind with the piercing,
fearless eye before which the lion
would quail and the fierce tiger shiver
with terror At least this is to be in
ferred from what our friend said to a
Journal man, recently:
II was down to Merrymeeting to see
the sights. strolled about seeing all
there was to see and / came to the
cage in which the wildcat is kept. AS
| approached. there were some women
near; one said: My, just see that Wild
cat: isn't it awful? Mr.. Cat looked
at them out of the corner of his eye
and gave a snarl and the women
hurried away. Now isn't that just like
a woman? Afraid of cat, and
penned IN at that. I would bet any
thing that if the privilege of tanning
that animal was given to me, l would
have him following me about like a
dog. within five weeks; know could
do it.
II went up to the cage and said:
And so they call you wildcat, you
old suzerain. why you are no more
wild than l am The cat looked at me
with a sidewise glance. oh. look
away; I am not scared; you are as
harmless as woodchuck' He looked
again but didn't move. Come over
here / want to talk to you. Come
along. His tail began to move and as
! continued talking it began to wag
faster and he twisted his head over to
one side like the ordinary cat does
when it wants somebody to scratch it
under the chin.
Il would like no better job than to
tame that beast. In fact. 1 think he
is tame already. No wonder he growls
when people are continually poking
sticks at him and then edging away as
though they were afraid. l can tame
him or any other wildcat on earth"
Everybody thinks this man has great
possibilities but this is the first time
he has ever appeared in the role of
a wildcat tanner Who knows?

AUGUSTUS FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Quick and Willing But Lacking in Some
Necessary Equipments.

Nobody doubts that Augusta has a
first-class fire department; one would
have to go far to find a better. We have
the men-men who are willing. quick and
without fear-but the equipment II hardly
up to the standard when comparison
is made with other cities of like size.
What the department has in the way of
equipment is good. but It is incomplete.
The department needs a lirst-class hook
and ladder truck such as cities of the
same size and even smaller have. II a
fire should break out in a high building
on Water street. perhaps some of the Old
ladders could be used. but they are ex-
tremely clumsy and heavy to handle. The
department has 45-foot ladder and an
old Bangor ladder Is feet long lies under
the Opera House. where II has rested ever
since the last fire In that building. sew
eral years ago. They are but crude affairs
for fire company in a city of this size
The present hook and ladder truck will
do very well in a fire in low buildings.
but on some of the Water street build
ings it would be useless. Some efforts
have been made to sell the present ar
rangement to some small town and get a
suitable truck to be kept somewhere near
Water street. hut they have been without
success. Auburn. Gardiner and Hallowell
have a hook and ladder service superior
to that in this city.
The method of working which has been
followed by the department in Augusta
has been such that long ladders have not
been missed as much as they would if
another method We're used. Our tremen
almost invariably fight a fire from the in
side of the buildings. getting inside
wherever they can. This is hard on the
men. but it has worked very satisfactorily
so far as extinguishng the fire goes.
There are taxpayers who think the APP
to the fire department are
too large. If an average of the appropri-
atoms of other cities il taken il will be
found that it will average up to about 81
per inhabtant. while Augustus is not
one-half that. Proportionally. there is not
a poorer paid department in New England
and yet there is not better. The quick
ness with which our department responds
to a call is noticeable to citizens and also
visitors. When the alarm sounued, Tues
day, for the fire on Cumberland street,
a stranger who was standing on the north
end of Water street expressed much won
derment at the quick appearance of the
department. But here are the en-
gines?" he was heard to say.
The most pressing need of the depart
ment at present is a suitable hook and
ladder arrangement. 1t is a need that is
felt by many citizens and also members
of the fire department, including Chief
Engineer c. w. Kicker and Assistant En-
gineers Elbridge Pedder and Z. II. Gay,
and must be remedied before the property
Of our taxpayers has a suitable means of
protection against fire.

THE PENNY CATCHER.
The Importation Of the Monkey and His Chance
Of Life.

There is an element of heroic, patient
suffering in the poor little monkey
commonly seen with the solid-faced
organ grinder. yanked about by a
tether shivering with the cold of a
harsh climate, yet always ready to
doff his velvet cap for the penny or to
perform inumerable antics for the
amusement of bystanders.
A large majority of the monkeys
brought into this climate die of lung
trouble and the greatest care has to
be exercised to guard them against
sudden changes of temperature and
protecting them during cold weather.
The South American ringtail monkey
stands this climate better than the
African or ASiatic breed does, and is
as result the chosen slave of the hand
organ man. No other monkey could
stand being dragged about the country
in rain. cold and sleet, and even the
ringtails are likely to die of the expos
ure. The organ grinder ordinarily kills
from to 10 of the little animals before
he can find one that is able to endure
the life.
Another reason why the South Amer
lean monkey stars with hand-organs is
that it is the only one of it's race that
can be trained well. 1t learns tricks
readily and is willing to show them,
while the Asiatic and African monkey
has a propensity for stubborn and in
corrigible sulks Then. too, these ami
mails. if confronted with anything new
that startles or irritates them. may
drop their veneer of civilization and
Il
iousness while the ringtail always does
credit to his training and maintains
his serenity. His virtues are his undo
ing, and he leads the hardest life of any
of his tribe.
The ringtails are brought directly to
this country. in vessels running be-
tween New York and the South Amer
lean ports. but the importation is usu-
ally and irregular one carried on by
the captains and mates of the vessels
The African and Asiatic monkeys are
even tanner when they reach here; for
they have passed through many hands
and have been longer on the way. They
are usually bought for the American
trade in Hamburg, Germany, and come
over in consignments of from so to 200
in charge of buyer. who looks out for
their health and, comfort. Many of them
, reach Hamburg in the same way that
the ringtails reach New York, through
the capitals and mates of trading YES
sells. who import them as a private
speculation. The Germans, however
also carry on a definite and systematic
trade in monkeys, and men are sent to
Asia and Africa, every year. to collect
the animals. Some of the dealers have
arrangements with the natives by
which the monkeys are captured and
held for them, and the buyer makes
only a comparatively short trip. to in
spect the animals and take them to
Germany.
