Hotter Than Yesterdays Weather.

THE hottest day / remember" said
one of the down town store keepers,
was one day that my friend Bowditch
and ! We're out at Great Pond. 1t was
n SiZZler and we We're looking for "A
place where we could get drink of
cold water. Finally we struck a little
cove where the water was not more
than three inches deep over shinglc
beach We thought it was cool there
because the water dubbed as it came
out of the ground from boiling
spring. We dropped our fish lines in
and soon the fish began to come up.
AS soon as the fish came to the spot
they turned over and died. We pulled
one out and if you will believe it sir
the sun beat down there so hot that
the water fairly boiled and when we
took the fish out they We're cooked as
nicely as could be. Getting dinner was
an easy thing after that. All that we
did was just throw in n little salt and
we had as nice boiled black bass as you
ever ate"

GOLF CLUB CHAT.
Ladies Will Probably Be Admitted to Member
ship-New Records Made.

The Golf club is hourishing like a
young lay tree and is considering the ad
visibility of admitting ladies' to its mem
bershp. When the club was first started
arrangements were made for the ladies To
play one afternoon each week. Then the
time was changed so that they might
play every afternoon OF late there has
been much interest in the club that
the ladies will probably be admitted To
membership. That point is not yet full !;
decided. 1t will be discussed at the next
meeting, and from the view some mem
bers take of the situation there is prob
ability that the ladies will be allowed to
become members and will he allowed all
the privileges of the links, including the
payment of dues. that the other members
enjoy.
So far the best record is held by Rev
III. f.. Dunnack, who is one of the most
expert golfers in the city. lie recently
went over the course of nine links in 81
shots. He had the advantage of knowing
the game before he came to this city.
The longest drive on the clubs record
is that made by Jos. Williamson. Jr. He
has been playing for some time and now
mas tie SiHie uo"h III Soou Shipe. ~
Gently the found the white sphere in just
the position he wanted it and lifted it
from hole i between 100 and 200 yards in
the direction of hole = This record come,
dangerously near some of the best rec
ordS made in the State.
The members are now becoming so ex-
pert in the game that they feel they are
in a place where they would be greatly
helped by an instructor, and there is talk
of having Mr.. Findlay, one of the Boston
experts. come down and go over the links
with the members. In this manner he
can show the players just how to work to
the best advantage. 1t is not yet decided
when he will come but it is probable that
he will be here in the course of two
weeks.

Predicts McKinley's Election.

Karl Won Hamong, Count st. Ger
main, one of the most famous palmists
and authors on occult subjects, arrived
in town, yesterday. and will remain in
the city for some time where he VIII
spend part of his vacation. To 3
Journal reporter he said that he had
read the hand of Dewey and predicted
that he would become the nations hero.
At the same time he predicted Dewey S
marriage and of the fate that would
follow the marriage. He also predict
ed Bryan's defeat, four, years ago, and
predicted his defeat, this year. Mckin-
lley's hand was read, short time after
ward, and for him he predicted two
nominations as President and two cleo
tons. These predictions were not made
by what is commonly accepted as sec.
ond sight, but through the natural in.
clinations as shown in the lines Of the

FESTIVAL CHORUS WORK.
Seventy. Five Members Of Augusta Chorus Will
Probably Go 10 Bangor.

The Augusta Chorus was never in
such good shape as it is at the present
time" said Prof l.. B. Cain. while speak
ing of the Maine Musical Festival. I'VE
expect to take - people with us from this
city to make up the festival chorus at
Bangor" There are but 100 people in
the chorus and that such large number
will go from this city shows a great in
terest in the work of Director Chapman
and Mr.. cain.
From other sources an idea is gained
of the high esteem in which Mr.. Cain is
held by Prof. Chapman. While Prof.
Chapman is in Bangor directing the cho-
rus there Mr.. Cain will be in Portland
keeping up the work on that end of the
line This work was formerly given TO A
man who is considered one Of the very
best in the State. That Mr.. Cain should
be selected to do this work shows how he
is looked on by that peerless leader. a
letter received from Mr. Chapman, reli-
tive to Mr.. Gains works, says that Mr.
cain is Prof. Chapman's main stay.
Prof. Chapman is so much pleased with
the work Mr.. Cain has done that short
time ago he told Mr.. Cain he might have
any part of the festival work he wanted
If he wished he could sing solos, WITH
the matchless singers who have been i'm
ported by Prof. Chapman, or he coulo
make any other arrangements that woulC
be pleasing to him.
The idea of having n festival choru.
during the Old Home Week celebration IL
Portland has been given up. Not becaus'
the people there would not appreciate Thu
work or the visitors be pleased with tina
| form Of entertainment but because it l.
SO warm that the people prefer som'
kind OF an outdoor entertainment to be
| inc confined in 4 hot hall.

The mystery of the burning of James

STATE HOUSE.
Will Johnson Case Come Be-
fore Governor and Council 2
Plans Formed for Healthy Camp Con-
ditions at Muster.
t.
Last Old Home Week Invitations Railroad
Commissioners Busy, This Week. s.

Just how much excitement is penned
up in the meeting of the Governor and
Council, tomorrow, is hard to say. The
one great topic of interest is the hear
ing on the charges preferred against
Lewis +. Johnson, chairman of the Saco
board of registration The matter was
referred to the attorney members of
the Council and they are to report at
the next meeting of the board. A
dumor comes from Saco the home of
johnson, that an amicable adjustment
has been made by which the hearing
will never be held. On the other hand
a counter current comes that the case
will be fought out to the bitter end. 1t
is known that Johnson has engaged an
attorney and that the attorney has
been at work on the case. The petition
for the hearing is still on file and it is
confidently expected that the matter
will come to n focus. Yet in view of the
many rumors that are atloat it would
not disappOint many if the case were
never tried.
In addition to that, two pardon hear
ings are scheduled. A request has been
made by Warden Smith of the State
prison, that certain prisoners be trans
ferred to the insane department and
there are many other matters to come
up so that unless some of the business
is side tracked the session will be long.
At the orders of Adjutant General
John T. Richards, Surgeon General
William J. Maybury. Col. II. Fl. Ken
dali. Surgeons Major Bradbury and
Fuller and Quartermaster Purnell were
at the State House, Tuesday, to confer
about the muster. At best, there is a
marked change between camp and
home life. The comfort and safety of
the men in the command is the first
thought of General Richards, and his
purpose in having the conference was
to arrange so that there would be as
little contrast as possible between the
life of the men in camp and that they
experience at home. a list of the ra-
tions the men will draw was submitted
by General Richards and orders given
that the officers investigate and report
to him the courses that will be served
each day while the men are in camp.
In addition a study of the plans for
camp was made so that the food may
be inspected and the best hygenic
methods adopted for the men while in
attendance at the muster.
1t is nearly month before the men
will go into camp and General Rich
ards is determined that the officers
shall have plenty of time in making
preparations so that the safety of the
men shall not be endangered through
hasty formation of plans.

A WALK AND A RIDE.

Two little twin-brothers were Willy and
Frank,
Who went for a walk one day.
They tramped over meadows and down
the brookside
Till tired to death were they.
Then what did these boys do but sit down
and cry:
I'VE can't take a step more, tbs no use to
try!
We're tired. oh. so tired, till we're ready
to die!
Boohoo! Boohoo! Boohoo!"
But good luck sometimes will play wonder
full tricks,
And at WHY'S feet lay two beautiful sticks,
AS smooth and as round
AS ever were found
why, Frank, here's pair of fine horses!"
said he.
We'll ride, yes, we will" and they mount
ed in glee,
And capered and cantered and galloped
two miles,
And jumped over fences and leaped over
stiles.
Were not tired a bit, not bit.'' they both
cried.
Its tiresome to walk, but how pleasant to
rider
