Dogs nattle with q Cactus.

Otto Kleemann, who lives on Bel mont street, recently acquired beau tiful cactus, which he established in his household, unmindful of the fact that his dog held the opinion that his master should have no other pets be- fore him. Now he has no cactus and the dej 'eted semblanee of dog The litte animal espied the plant soon after it's arrival, and issued a challenge. Tn default of acceptance, he gave battle, but retired at the first shock to recon sider The enemy had more teeth than a battalion of bull terriers, and all of them we1e newly sharpened. He was no quitter. however, and with rising an- ger he renewed the attack. This time his opponent came down, landing on him heavily, and with the touch of q barb-wire fence. The two rolled over and over in a death embrace, aad the cactus was finally yapqu.shed, torn in- to shreds and scattered about the room. But it was costly victory. The con- queror is punctured in more places than his owner can count. He may live to fight another day, but I will not be with cactus.-Oregepf

HARBOR NOTES.

The British schooner Valetta arrived
as d id also the schooner W. o. Nettleton.
The schooner K. NJ McNichol arrived
with Holsters.
The steamer Horatio Hall arrived at
few minutes before two o'clock, having
enjoyed fine trip from New York.
Deputy Sheriff Clarence l.. Buchanan
was notified Tuesday afternoon by Mr..
John CULVER that the Boston fishing
schooner Unique was trying to skip the
harbor without settling for a bill incurred
during its stay in port. Mr.. CULVER
says he was engaged to take ballast out
of the Unique and transfer 1t to bark
that was in the harbor. He then went to
the rolling mills for iron dross ballast
which he put into the schooner. Captain
Bishop Latham of the Unique objected to
paying the amount of Mr.. Gulliyer's
bill, it is said. on the grounds that the
iron dross ballast was not of the quality
which 1t should have been. About six
O'Clock in the afternoon the Unique de-
parted down the bay. Mr.. Gulliver got
wind of it and notified Deputy buchanan
who at once went to Portland pier and
the tug Ben Hur wasengaged to overhaul
the Unique. 1t couldn't truthfully be
said that the race was very exciting one
because there was not wind enough for
the schooner to put up much of fight.
The Ben Hur caught her near Diamond
cove and although the captain did not
approve of the deputy sheriff boarding his
vessel, he submitted to the inevitable and
she was brought back to the city and put
into Central wharf where keeper has
been placed in charge until the matter
is adjusted.

Bewildering Surgical and Medi-
cal Exhibit.

The Maine Medical association Is in
session in this city. 1t is distinguished
and intellectual body but to the average
laymen the reception hall exhibit of
chemical, medicinal and surgical goods is
vastly more fascinating.
From early Tuesday morning until late
in the evening a swarm of agents We're
busily engaged in securing floor space,
unpacking their goods and setting up
their exhibits Yesterday morning things
had assumed an orderly and exceedingly
attractive appearance and the exhibitors
were ready to exploit their wares, steer
ing the physicians and other visitors to
their particular booths with all the pro-
fessional skill and suavity of salesman
in horse mart.
The largest exhibit is that of George
c. Frye g. Co. of Portland. 1t occupies
one entire end of the hall with tier upon
tier of samples. Along table in the
center is ranged great variety of Mel
Inns Food properties, surnounted by the
pictures of dimpled smiling children.
Nearby was grim exhibit of anti-toxine
for diphtheria.
In one corner was the exhibit of the
Maltine company of New York, which is
the pet property of Timothy Woodruff
when he is not engaged in the machina-
lions of politics. Rejecting the colors
of the rainbow stood jars of maltine
liquid preparations and at a booth, always
crowded, an attendant dispensed ice

wildering variety of optical goods put
forth by A. l.. Lloyd & Co. of Boston.
Eskayis Albuminized food was fianked
by trio of colored youngsters who
were most satisfactory testimony to its
eificacious properties.
One of the most extensive and decid-
etily the most varied exhibit was that of
Parke, Davis Il Co., manufac turing
chemists with headquarters in New
York. 1t included anything from medici-
nal wines and germicidal soaps to anti
toxine. Especially interesting was this
company's exhibit OF slides in which
were shown seventeen varieties of bacilli,
including the bubonic plague, cholera in
various phases and other eastern diseases
Of a malignant type.
Besides those mentioned were hundreds
of other exhibits from every nook and
corner of the country and covering every
conceivable variety of ammunition with
which medical science combats the willy
foes TO human health.
