IDEAL CONDITIONS
Made the Outing Of Gallo, Augusta to Mer-
rymeeting Most Successful.

EVERYTHING from the ideal weather to
the entertainment furnished by Canton
King of Bath, contributed to the sue
tn, No. .. T.. NJ, yesterday.
The start was made at n little after
80 O'Clock. when the members, head
cd by the Augusta Cadet Band, start
ed from their headquarters in this city.
After short parade, they marched IL
the steamboat wharf, where they
boarded the Islander and embarked n
the trip down river. While it was n
Canton affair, yet there were great
many people not members of the Can
ton who participated in the event.
Among these We're many ladies' and
these as well as every one else, imbib
ed the spirit of the day and entered
heartily into all the pleasures at
f1rGed.
When the boat left the wharf in this
city there were something like 300 peo-
pie. These included not only the peo-
pie from this city. but also a few from
Canton Halifax of Waterville. who
joined with the Augusta people in cele-
brating the events of the day. They
came to this city on the early morning
train.
Once on the boat the conditions were
ideal. The weather was of the made
to-order kind and in addition to that
- pieces Of the Augusta Cadet Band
furnished delightful music, SO that the
sail down the river was one of the
most delightful parts of the trip.
On arriving at Bath the party was
met by Canton King of that city. They
escorted the visitors during the march
about Bath and finally to odd Fellows
hall. where a luncheon was served.
After the luncheon, a social time was
enjoyed, during which there was much
of a renewing of old acquaintance.
AT 11.30 the members boarded special
cars and started for Merrymeeting.
where dinner was served at the Casino.
At the conclusion of the banquet the
members enjoyed themselves about the
grounds, the music by the bands being
one of the features of the day.
At . o'clock, the Islander was again
boarded and the sail up river was COM
menced. The members of Canton Hal
flax did not continue the journey from
Merrymeeting on the boat, but boarded
the evening train and returned to Wa
terville. There was not an incident
during the whole day to mar the pleas
ures of the party. Canton Augusta

on every side We're heard words of
praise for the manner in which the
members of the Bath Canton entertain

do too much for the visitors and that
the entertainment was appreciated was
shown by the many words of common
dation heard on all sides.

MAINE CANDIDATES BARRED.
rag Law Enacted BY Last Legislature Inter
estlng Political Parties.

| Inc coming Of the present political
campaign has brought into public
| notice in Augusta. and all over the
State. the law enacted by the Maine
legislature at its last term relating to
the use of the American flag for the
purposes OF advertising. On account of
TINS act no ilags may be hung out by
individuals, this year, with the names
OF their favorite candidates in big
black letters at the bottom, and the
gigantic campaign banners raised in
the cities by the various state and
county committees will bear only the
names of the candidates for the Presi-
dency and Vice Presidency. The names
of candidates for Governor and con-
gresham are not allowed, as the law
is interpreted.
The new Maine statute regarding the
use and misuse of American or state
flags reads as follows:
Any person who for use or display
places or causes to be placed any in
scription. device, advertisement or
notice whatever upon any flag, stand
ard. color or ensign of the United
States or of this State, or who displays
or exhibits or causes to be displayed or
exhibited any flag. standard, color or
ensign of the United States or flag of
this state uDon which shall in any
manner be placed or affixed any in
scription. device, advertisement or
notice whatever. or any person who
shall attach to or represent upon any
goods. wares or merchandise any i'm
it1tion or representation or the nation
al flag of the United States or use any
such imitation or representation of the
national flag of the United States FOR
advertising purposes or who in any
manner mutilates, tramples upon or
otherwise defaces or defiles any of said
flags. standards. colors or cnsigns.
whether they are public or private
property, shall be punished by a fine
of not less than s.. nor more than $50
Provided. however, that flags. stand
ards. colors or ensigns, the property Of
or used in the service Of the United
states or of this State, may have in
scriptions. names Of actions, words
marks or symbols placed thereon pur-
suant to law or authorized regulations.
and that associations organized by men
who have served in the army or navy
of the United States may place appro-
PIRATE inscriptions upon flags owned by
them or used for memorial purposes.
and duly appointed and accredited
committee of political parties may.
during the campaign preceding any
election for president and vice-presi-
dent Of the United States. attach the
names of their respective candidates to
the flag.
This law approved by Gov. Powers.
March 10, 1899. is certainly clear enough
and the only point which admits of any
doubt as 70 its meaning is the clause
which permits the accredited commit
tees of political parties to attach the
names Of their respective candidates to
the flag"
Whether the word candidates means

only the Presidential and Vice Presi-
dental candidates or may be construed
so as II inc .ude the candidates for Gov
crnor, congressman and others seems to
be not quite clear" says a local lawyer
Also whether private and patriotic in
dividuals may with the consent of the
county and state committees, affiX
their chosen candidates names to the
banner is a mooted question. In my
opinion the names Of the candidates for
President and Vice President only may
be used. and may only be affixed to the
flag by the committeeman themselves;
and no private individual may display
a flag bearing any names whatsoever"

Johnson Case Sidetracked Until Next
Month at Least.
Prizes Awarded the Contestants at The Sports.
mems kinco Excursion.

The sparkle is taken from the meet
held, this afternoon. The Johnson case
will not come up. At the last meeting
charges including almost every crime
in the decalOgue We're fled against
Lewis +. johnson, chairman of the
Saco board of registration. An attempt
was then made to have Johnson re-
moved by the Governor and Council SO
that he would not preside at the next
meeting of the board to be held the day
following. This the Governor and
Council, making the decision in exec
utive session, refused to do. The mat
ter was referred to special committee
consisting of Councillors Cook, Mayo
and Powers. with instructions to re-
port at the next meeting of the Coun-
Gil.
This committee had arranged to
meet, yesterday afternoon. and then
see what legal phases of the question
were presented. Councillor Powers, not
having learned of the decision, APP
peared, yesterday, as did also Council
lor Mayo. Councillor Cook, who is
from the First District, did not appear
as he had received notice from the in
terested parties in Saco that the
charges would not be pressed at the
meeting to be held. today.
1t is understood that the matter will
be continued to the August meeting
and then eventually dropped. A
rumor is current that Johnson will re-
sign his position but how much Gre
dcnce can be placed in this is matter
of question. If this is so he has not
ei.;niiied his intention to some of those
who are most intimately associated in
the case.

But little credence is placed in the ru-
mors that come from Washington coun-
ty of the shortage of the burberry crop.
Secretary Il. Walker Mcl\een Of the
board of agriculture. on his return from
that section, reported that the crop was
HEAVIER than ever and the outlook most
hopeful for the largest crop the county
has seen for many years.
The last bulletin issued from the same
office stated that the crop was two per
cent heavier than usual What may have
taken place since then may have tended
to destroy all hopes of a good crop. y
short time ago a letter was received from
one of the largest Gamers in that section
and he reported that everything, mean
ing the crops in general. was very prom

said would help things out He did not
make any reference Of injury to the blue
berry crop. which il is thought he would
have done had there been such serious
conditions as have been reported.

success of the summer school," said
State Superintendent of Schools Stet-

Ellsworth. where he has been at the
opening of the session in that city.
Yes. there is great deal more inter-
est in the schools than ever before,
he said THAT is, it Is II widespread
interest The concern is not confined
to the place or locality in which the
school is centered, but to the other
towns for some distance around. The
students are taking a great interest in
the work and | am looking forward to
the best sessions, this summer, we
have ever had"
In addition to the work that is being
done by the instructors there is that
done by Hon. Mr.. Stetson. He has
worked very hard for the success of
the session and his efforts are being
crowned with success.
One of the most popular features of
the sessions will be the art lectures
that will be given in Waterville. where
the sessions are to open, next week.
Mr.. Stetson has sent to Europe for
photographers and these will be used
in illustrating the lectures which he
has so carefully prepared.
