The city vaIA Bs ruled with Strangers
On old Home Week.

Little is being said now about the Old
Home Week celebration which is to occur
here on August 9TH but the plans for this
great event are rapidly assuming definite
proportions. The Indications are that the
city viii be visited during this week by
more people from the far western states
than have ever been here during a like
period The Western railroads, or some
of them at least, are TO make rates to
Portland which viii be great induce
ment for the Maine people who are liy-
some sort OF replies to the Old Home
Week Invitations. The first issue of
three thousand from Portland has been
exhausted and another three thousand
have been ordered and will be- sent out
at once. 10 Chicago alone over fifteen
hundred invitations are to be sent while
Minneapolis and St. Paul viii como in
for large share Of these official invita-
lions from the governor of the state.
Massachusetts, win, of course, send the
largest number of people to Maine for
this weak. AS the time for the big show
draws near the interest in Massachu-
sets increases. In fact 1t would seem
from what those who have travelled
through Massachusetts, during the last
week have reported that more interest is
icing taken in the Old Home Week idea
In Massachusetts than is to be found right
here in Portland.
. The committee which has in charge
this celebration is striving to get full
reports from the solicitors who have
subscription papers and have asked that
reports be made by them as early as Wed
nesday evening if posi- bic. It would be
well for those who have friends to whom
they wish invitations sent to get their
names and address into the secretary S
office at the city building at once IN
less they ara soon turned in to the secre-
tary there win be little chance of these
people receiving invitations in time to
accept 1t.
Gen. Joshua l.. Chamberlain has been
invited by the Old Home Week commit
Tee to be the chief marshal of the grand
parade which IS TO occur on the morning
Of August eth. General Chamberlain i:
to have an honorary staff of six men
whom, 1t is understood, he viii select from
some Of those who made Maine famous
during the civil war. He is also to have a
working staff of six men who viii act as
aids to him in the formation of the pa
rade.
The yacht clubs ara preparing to give
yachting parade on the afternoon Of
Af10uef 9TH which win Ia ~, ..,.;<..x<
feature of the celebration and it is believed
that there win be present to take part in
the. parade Of pleasure craft many from
other yacht clubs along the Atlantic
coast.

There was a brief session of the mayor
and board of aldermen yesterday after
noon. It was called to give a hearing on
a petition of the Consolidated Electric
Light company for permission TO locate
two poles on B street. The petition was
granted
The petition of A. A. Hamlin for per-
mission to erect new building on Kidder
street to be used as a dwelling was re-
ferred and the petition of II. S. johnson
for license as a victualer was referred
with power as were the petitions of four
men for licenses as junk dealers. The
mayor read two communications from
Major B. 5. w. Roessler the United
States engineers officer in charge of this
district. In one the regulations governing
the draws at Tukeys bridge were pro-
mulgated. The second communication
was more interesting as it has bearing
on the Vaughan's bridge question. 3 - --~
Major Roessler informed the mayor and
board of aldermen that a petition had
been filed with him asking that the draw
at Vaughan's and the Eastern Railroad
bridges be enlarged. This petition stated
that these draws were so narrow that
they prevented the passage through them
of many vessels which now come to Port
land and that they should be enlarged.
The petition was signed by men interested
in shipping at this port and included J.
S. aWinslow & Co., Charles f. Guptill 4
Co., Chase, Leavitt & Co., Randall &
McAllister, J. f. Liscomb, manager of
the Portland Steam Packet company and
one or two others. There was also little
of similar comport from the Eastern Iron
and Steel company, the successors to the
Portland Rolling Mills company.
Major Roessler informed. the city
officials that he would fix a date for a
public hearing very soon and notify them
of the time and place where it would be
held
1t will be remembered that at the last
meeting of the city government the alder
men voted down the order providing for
the erection of a new bridge to replace
Vaughan bridge, but this petition may
have the effect of reopening the entire
matter.

Successful Experiments with Food.

gentleman in Oak Park, Calf.
Henry Pockman, took up the question Of
food, to see If he could recover from an
old case of dyspepsia, from which nux
vomica, pepsin, and other remedies gave
him no relief.
He started in with Grape-Nuts break
fast food and his dyspepsia quickly dis
appeared He also left off the use of
coffee and took Postum Food Coffee in
it's place He writes that he has been
put right, perfectly well, and going to
remain so by continuing the use of the
Grape-Nuts food and Postum Coffee.
1t is worth anyone's trial, who desires
to be we'll, to change the diet, and par
tieularly to leave off coffee. Grape-Nuts
food contains elements that rebuild the
gray matter in the nerve centers and
brain and give one a feeling of reserve
strength and vigor This food is per-
feotly cooked at the factory, can be served
Instantly, and Is on sale at all frst-ciass
grocers'.

Aside from the ethical objection to
king killing there is distinctly prac-
teal argument to be urged against the
process. The killing of monarchs is
useless. It tends to defeat the osten-
sible object sought to be accomplished.
The king killer processes to beanAmated
by a desire to abolish tyranny. He
murders king. What is the result?
Every repressive agency at the disposal
of the government is placed in opera
ton. Police spies swarm in the cities.
suspicion rules in the country districts.
Obsolescent laws against lese-majeste
are furnished up and made to do ser
vice. New laws are speedily enacted.
What was a condition Of constitutional
government becomes an iron tyranny
so far as the authorities are able to in
stitute such regime. Tyranny has
not been abolished. 1t has been accen-
tuated. The tyrant who has been
killed is succeeded by another tyrant.
The king never dies. The anarchist
bent upon exterminating tyrants might
kill king every day in the week and
still the thrones would be filed and
every succeeding king would certainly
and inevitably be greater tyrant than
his predecessor. He would become a
tyrant in self-defense. It is an evil
dence of the deficient mentality of anar-
chists that they do not see these things
that they go on numbering altruists
like Alexander Of Russia and women
like Elizabeth Of Austria with the idea
that they are thereby contributing to
the welfare Of mankind. AS matter
of fact they are rendering harder the
lot of humanity over all the world. The
assassin's dagger never advanced the
human race a single inch on the road
to liberty. There is a. plain, orderly and
hopeful means of accomplishing the ad-
vancement of Europe, but the anar-
chists never consider that means. They
never consider that agitation for the
form of democracy which obtains in
North America-which has endured for
125 years-offers every hope for the
abolition Of that tyranny under which
they profess to groan. They cannot or
they will not see that the moment a
majority of the people in any nation
make up their minds to govern them
selves the monarchy is bound to go
peaceably if possible, forcibly if need
be. In the blacklist despotism as in the
most enlightened republic the people
may rule if they elect to do so. The
anarchist fights windmills. He kills a
man and imagines that he is killing an
institution. If he had good sense he
would devote himself to undermining
the institution. That overthroWn, the
man would go without being killed.

One Young Woman offered Him Cent
by Way of Charity.
The masher is abroad in the land as
numerously as ever. He Is brazen-
faced and impertinent and succeeds In
making himself disliked by all girls OF
decency and self-respect. Occasionally
one meets his match, however, and IS
exposed to the ridicule he has invited.
In New York the other day a young
woman, tall and slight with an attract

cent, was doing little shopping. Be-

graduated about year before, she had

must take care Of herself.

herself. She was on her way back to
the nurses home where she had her
room. AS the day was little showery,
she was out in her rainy day suit, with
out any umbrella and no desire for one.
Presently she noticed a tall stranger
walking beside her. He held his UNI
brella over her head and seemed dis
posed to make her acquaintance and
act as her escort without any encour-
agement from her. He was we'll dress
ed and had the air of decidedly we'll
TODD person. She strobe on with
cold expression on her face, never
deigning any response to his efforts at
conversation. The situation became
more and more annoying. Then, sud
denly, to his amazement, the girl open
ed her purse, and selecting from it
cent, she turned and, without word,
held it between her thumb and finger
toward the man. He almost gasped as
he exclaimed, entirely off his guard:
What do you take me for?"
Then came her moment of triumph as
she answered promptly, "a beggar."
Without delay he turned and went
another way.

ure to give honest weight Is so prev
alent that it is hopeless for him to at
tempt to check 1t, for as fast as he de
stroys the measures the dealers buy

Of a peck Of potatoes, but the pecks
sold in Minneapolis average not more

that If weight were the criterion 1t
would not be SO easy to give the short
measure, as most housekeepers have
scales upon which they could weigh
their goods and detect shortages, while
honest weights are more common than
honest measures, and the shortage on
goods sold by weight is less frequent
On the continent of Europe goods are
sold by weight instead of by measure,

Boys Object Lesson Failed.

AS the careless young woman started
to get off the car she dropped her purse.
Her brother, noticing it. picked it up,
and was about to hand it to her. when
he thought better of it and put it in his
pocket. He had scolded her SO often
about her carelessness, and he proposed
now to enforce his words by an object
lesson. But his surreptitious conceal
ment of the purse had not been unno-
ticed, and just as he stepped from the
car an elderly man gripped him by the
arm and whispered, IF you don't give
that purse to the young lady this in
slant III expose you"
Yes, certainly" gasped the aston

beg your pardon, Elizabeth, you
