The next morning we arose to find
the weather looking '.jubius." Moth
ing daunted, however, the party sep
arated after breakfast, agreeing to meet
at the hotel at ten to take ride on the
elevated along the docks. After writ
ing a little and spending some time
looking out of the window at the pass
ing throng of black-coated, silk-hatted
business men, shop girls, vendors,
sandwich men," funny little milk-carts
containing but two large cans, heavy
two-wheeled drays, and an occasional
dogcart, with liveried groom looking
very stiff and proper, we ventured
out to do little shopping, and try and
accustom ourselves to the use of ''shil-
lings and pence" Great was the in
dignation of one young person when
she was told, in response to an inquiry,
that a coin she had received in change
was worth nothing, madam, nothing
at ALL" She was on the point of max
ing forcible protest when she learned
that her informant was merely speak
ing figuratively, and that the coin in her
hand actually had the value of half a
cent in American money. Fascinated
by the shop windows, the time flew all
too quickly, and before we realized it
we were back at the Compton ready to
start for the docks. After quite long
walk through the city streets we climb
ed flight of stairs and found our
selves on the platform of the elevated.
The tickets procured, we passed through
the turnstile, stepped aboard the cars
and were off. AS we moved along, not
too rapidly for observation, on one side
we saw the numerous docks, where YES
sells and steamers from almost every
port on the globe were loading or dis
charging their cargoes Immense gangs
of workmen and horses were at work
on what gentleman in the car inform
ed us was to be the largest dock in the
world. We saw the big Cunarder Cam
pania," being lowed to her dock, and
also a White Star liner preparing to
discharge her cargo. 1t was with pleas
ure that we recognized the familiar
masts and funnel of the ''Vancouver,"
but the intervening buildings prevent
ed a more complete view of her. On
our other hand were great storehouses
of stone or brick. We went down river
to the end of the line, returned almost
to the other end, then took the under

very few and those on the Irish sea or
in the Mersey on the voyage to Liver
pool. They were mostly..topsail schoon-
ers, of fifty to one or two hundred tons,
and we saw one three-masted vessel of
this rig. The Irish fishing boats, of
which we saw many on the homeward
voyage, were all yawl-rigged or carried
two lug sails, and the sails were dark
brown in color. We could not deter
mine the shape of the hulls exactly,
but one seemed to have stern like that
of our seine boats. They looked like
able little craft, and need to be for they
often encounter rough weather.

The Washington correspondent of
the Portland Evening Express has this
to say of the Schley case: Judge Ad-
vocate Lemly seems to be losing flesh
as result of his strenuous efforts to
lmpeach American heroism. The prize
grabbing Sampson, the spoiled child of
the navy, does not figure in the affair
to any glorious extent, and his tailor
made reputation is beginning to rip at
the seams. Schley is receiving his re-
ward at last and the truth is out. The
Brooklyn and the Oregon fought the
whole fight and Sampson was not even
on the bleachers to root with the Iowa,
Texas and company. "Bob' Evans,
the fancy phrase maker has magazined
and interviewed himself into noxious
bullyism with all his hot blowing Drag
gardism." That seems to us to tell the
whole story, as it should be told.

Capt. "Sol' Jacobs of Gloucester
whose auxiliary fishing schooner, the
Helen NJ. Gould. was recently burned in

enough of gasolene engines, and he is ar
ranging for the building of a large

first built fol the American Atlantic
deep sea fisheries. Capt. Sol. was the
pioneer i'll building an auxiliary fishing
vessel, and he evidently means to keep
in the lead Others will no doubt fol

In the timeliness and interest of it's
articles, as we'll as in literary merit, The
Atlantic Monthly, in the estimation Of
many, stands at the head of our month
ly publications. Its fiction is of the
highest order and its papers on histori-
cal and educational subjects are able
and instructive. One is sure to find in
its pages something well worth the
reading; something OF real value. From
the first it has had among its contribu-
tors the best of American writers, Eand
it grows stronger and better with each
succeeding volume.

If the Boston Food Fair has not been
a grand success so far as down East
patronage goes, it has surely not been
the fault of Maine newspapers, which
have given it columns and columns OF
advertising. There is such thing as
riding free newspaper, as well as a
free horse, to DEATH Gardiner indie
pendent.
We see no reason why fairs of this
kind, which are really for the sale and
advertising of certain goods. should not
pay for space in the newspapers. An

500 worth of advertising.

ground for short=tlistance, then
assembled an inclined way to the sur
face, and soon were on our return to
the hotel on the upper deck of an cleo
trio car,-or rather tram" The cleo
trio cars are much shorter than ours,
but are mads to carry about half of
their passengers on top. Small seats
holding two are ranged on each side of
the car, with an aisle between, and pas
sengers choosing to climb the steep and
somewhat awkward stairs are rewarded
by an extended view.
1t was just one O'Clock when we
alighted from our lofty perches at the
entrance of our hotel, and luncheon
was Immediately in order. After lun-
cheon the party separated, each pursu-
ing his or her own pleasure Some had
business to transact, others took a
''tram ride" while small delegation
went out for walk. The Protestant
Cathedral gardens, directly across the
street from the hotel looked very invit-
ing, and after exploring them to- Jour
satisfaction we found a comfortable
seat "far from the maddening crowd"
and watched the hurrying throng on
the busy street from a safe distance.
After short rest we, also, joined the
kaleidoscope, and sauntered slowly up
and down the street, fascinated by the
/ beautiful and attractive window dis
plays, and then returned to the hotel to
rest and dress for dinner and the thea
tire. Others of the party had returned
from their respective expeditions and
all reported very pleasant afternoon.
Decked with our first English violets
we set forth for the Empire Palace
Theatre, representative English va
riety theatre. 1t is a large house,
lavishly decorated, and with three gal.
leries, stalls, pit and boxes. Some of
the specialties were very good indeed,
and others rather inferior 1t was
specially gratifying to us Yankees to
note with what applause mention of
the Stars and Stripes, Uncle Sam or
our martyred President was greeted.
In fact, in the latter case the whole
house, and particularly the galleries, APP
plauded, stamped and shouted The
sympathy of the common people for
the bereaved nation, thus publicly ex-
pressed, was very touching, and was
appreciated to the utmost by the little
party of twelve, whose hearts were
with the mourning ones across to sea.

November 1st there went into effect
in New Jersey what is said to be the
strctest pure food law in the United
States, and efficient means have been
provided for its enforcement Every
thing that can come into use for human
consumption as food or drink is includ-
ed under the law. The inspection will
include canned goods, whether manu-
featured or put up outside of the State
or in it; also all wines, beers, and soft
drinks" including mineral waters. The
latter will be the first dealt with. Re-
cent analyses of some of them are said
health. Beers not up to set standard
will be unstable under the law. Wines
not made in the natural manner, or con-
tanning coloring substances or anything
that renders them impure, will be liable
to confiscation and destruction if offer
ed for sale. Municipal water supplies
are also liable to condemnation if i'm
pure. Fitting punishments are estab-
lished for the manufacture or sale of
anything to eat or drink that is not
pure.
An Aroostook farmer, dissatisfied
with the price offered at home for his
potatoes, when they were reported
scarce and of poor quality in other sec
tions of the country, wrote to the editor
of the New York Tribune, as follows:
Maine is in the United States, and her
potato crop is in the United States, and
her potato crop is better than ever be-
fore in quality, as well as in quantity,
and is selling for less than in any past
season for number OF years, namely,
at stations near Houlton at from sl.o5
to S1.2O barrel, and shade higher
tons about $1.30 to $1.35 standard
For the last three years we have had
those prices or better at this date.
The Agricultural Editor of the Trib-
une in reply maintained the accuracy
of the quotations given in that paper
and said that "the fact remains that the
potato crop in the United States at
large this year is much below that of
several years past both in quantity and
quality" and that potatoes such as
sold at Houlton last year for $1.2o
ought, naturally, to be bringing more
than 50 at the same place." An Aroos-
took paper says: ::
Potatoes are coming in quite fast at
Caribou and the prices paid average
about $175 per barrel, which is unusual
ly high for this season of the year. Next
year there will be large crop put in
and the chances are that farmers will
be lucky if they get 81 per barrel fol
them.

Monkeys

"All well-all happy-lots
of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
CT Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of Scott
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that il
might do them good. Since,
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.
