A Quiet Fourth.

The Fourth was quiet day Tor
Waterville, the only attraction to keep
people in the city being the ball game
in the forenoon. The stores were more
generally closed than usual and for
the whole day instead of a part. This
gave every one a favorable opportunity
to go outside and large number went
to the ponds to spend the day quietly.
The attractions at Fairfield 1reW a
large crowd all dav. The parade Of
the fantasies in the forenoon was Il
good one. the little village of ShaWmut
being splendidly represented. In tn"
afternoon there were the races ana Dali
game at the Driving park in the even
ing there was Il good exhibition OF
fireworks and a band concert and hop
Mt Island park. Those who remained
in the city during the day took in
these events, or at least q good share
of them, Judging by the business done
by the electrics. AS Il result of this
the city was practically deserted all
day and through the evening and was
unusually quiet.
There will be Il special meeting of
the city government, Tuesday even

THE WILD WEST.
Pawnee Bills Show Draws Big Crowds
at Both Performances.

A Wild West show isn't a circus, but
still in years when the genuine article
fails to sprout it will do and the small
boy sees some real live Indians and
cowboys and has pretty fair time af-
ter all without the elephant. Pawnee
Bills Wild West rolled into the city in
it's own special cars before the sun rise,
Saturday morning, and the camp was
soon pitched, not on the usual circus
field, but out towards Oakland ana
pretty well out too, over the bridge
that crosses the Maine Central tracks
There was plenty of room out there and
nice country breezes in the midst of
the hay fields, but it was good bit OF
a walk.
The parade came off according to
schedule in the forenoon and made a
good showing. The show is a good one
of it's kind and has big assortment or
horse flesh from the wee bit of pie
bald pony to the big draught horse and
a bunch of donkies of various sizes, an
thrown in.
The program of the show IS bullt
along the usual lines of the Wild West
and is good. There are some good eX-
hibition of horsemanship and shooting.
A feature of the concert which follow
cd the afternoon performance was the
boomerang throwing. This at least
was a genuine novelty and one that
not many had ever witnessed. On the
whole the show is a good one for
Wild West and drew large crowds both
a afternoon and evening.

The Fourth at Skowheaan.

Aside from the events at Fairview park,
in the afternoon, there was little celebia-
ting done in the town, Friday, other than
the usual amount OF noise from crackers
and blank cartridges, which began early
Thursday evening, and continued unit!
late Friday night. The business men
closed their shops at noon, and the
greater part of those who did not go %
the races, took the cars for Hayden Lake
or the Pines, or drove to Lake George
for a quiet days rest. A few cases Of in
toxication created some disturbance, and
the new police station was opened fo-
lodging to some Of the most enthusiastic
PATRIOTS, but as general thing the crowd
was very quiet.
At Lakewood, the grove was thronged
with excursionists, who always find this
popular resort an ideal place for a day s

Wanted to See the Arch Burn.

from Box 63. The department respond

THE FAIRFIELD RACES.
All Three of the Glasses Won IN
Straight Heats.

1t is a legend that if A. f. Gerald want
ed to have a horse trot, in the afternoon,
and it was raining cats and dogs in the
forenoon, it would clear as soon as ne
made his wishes known, and the sun come
out hot enough to put the track in good
condition in an hour or two. Like most
legends, there is something of truth be-
hind it. When Mr.. Gerald used to man
age the Fairfield track, few can remember
an instance when it rained on the day
appointed for the races. There was al
ways good weather and always huge
crowds.
So, this year, although the races for
the Fourth were not under his personal
spices of a club of which he is a member,
and of course, the weather was all that
could be asked for. The ball game, was,
Of course, a big attraction, but the two
drew one of the largest crowds ever seen
inside the fence and the largest certain
ly for several years. The track was not
in the best of shape, on account of the
heavy rains, but it was much better than
would naturally lie expected, and very
good time was made. Fairfield had to
share the norses with many other places
ones. There were three classes and all
went in straight heats, although the win
ners were given a good bit of work 20

CONQUEST OF THE SAHARA,
The Problem Facing France in Af-
RIGA.

With the war in South Africa ended,
the Soudan pacified and China quies-
cent, and with no chance of trouble in
the Balkans, the only spot outside of
the Philippines where war is going on
is in Central Africa, where the troops
of the French republic are slowly and
laboriously working their way 20 the
Eorth in their effort ultimately 10 sub
due the desert of the Sahara and bring
under the rule of France the vast un-
settled regions allotted to her in 1899
when the Dark Continent was divided
among the nations of Europe. a great
work is being done in those regions of
which comparatively little is heard,
and preparations are making for what
will probably be the last great struggle
between the Arab of the deserts of
Africa and the white invader. What
Gordon began and Kitchener finished is
upper Egypt and the Soudan France
has undertaken farther West, working
southwark from Algeria and Tunis and
northward from the French Congo,
seeking to make safe the great cara
van routes which traverse Sahara from
the centre of the continent to Algeria,
Tunis and Tripoli, to conquer a domin-
ion almost as large as the whole of Eu-
rope.
Progress has been slow, and ii
promises to be slower in the immediate
future, for the French forces are now
face to face with the fiercest and most
warlike OF the Arab tribes, the Senussi,
who have taken to themselves the lost
cause of the Mahdists in the Soudan
and have given refuge to thousands of
Arabs who left their homes in British
territories after the fall of Omdurman
and Khartoum- Practically the same
problems face the French as faced the
British, except that they are infinitely
more difficult, since the French opera
ti0ns are farther removed from a base
and have no Nile to help their trans
portation.
For the better part of a century
France has slowly but surely been eat
ing its way southwark into the Sahara
from Algeria. The cost in money and
men has been enormous, but the ad-
venturous undertaking has appealed to
the French imagination the more
strongly as it's difficulty increased, and
despite almost innumerable reverses
and setbacks the venture has been car
ried on with a persistence not usually
associated with the Latin nature. The
result of this is that today practically
the whole of the Sahara, a vast terri
tory extending north from the tenth
parallel to the Mediterranean states
and west from the middle of the conti-
nent TO the Atlantic, is nominally un-
der the dominion of France. Her ex-
petitions have penetrated to nearly all

occupied the pulpit of the Methodist
church, Sunday morning. There was a
good congregation present. Many hav-
ing heard Mrs. Burger when she spoke
here. about a year ago, and We're very
glad to have the privilege of hearing
her again. She took for her subject,
Sunday morning, 'Pictures,' and she
painted many by way of Illustration
which will llnger long in the memory
Of her hearers. She read for her Scrip
ture lesson the 18th chapter of Luke,
and from it, drew three pictures. the
lost sheep, the lost piece of silver and
the prodgaI son. She spoke of the
worth of an immortal soul, and COM
pared it to the wealth and riches of
this world, which must sink into insig-
nilicance in comparison with it. She
said that although she had seen the
prohibtOry law violated in most dis
graceful manner, in our State and in
other prohibition states. making it
comparatively a farce, the results in
the prohibition states in regard to tenn
perance were much more encouraging.
even then, than in the licensed states.
In the evening, Mrs. Burger spoke in
the Baptist church. a union mass meet
ing being held there. Her subject,
Sunday evening was, THE JericO
Road" She spoke of the Growth and
influence of the Womens Christian
Temperance Union, and told in most
graphic manner why she entered the
field. When but Is years of age she
consccrated herself to the work, and
has been a prominent labOrer in the w.
G. T. u. since 1882 and has been a pub
lie worker fer IL years. She has
Travelled all over the United States, and
lectured III 2S different states, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast. To meet
and hear Mrs. Burger, is an inspiration
in itself. She is certainly one of the
most attractive and conversing lectur-
ers ever listened to here. she will leave,
today, for Skowhegan, where she
will speak, this afternoon. Mrs. Burger
will remain in this State through the
summer, then go to New Brunswick
ana Nova Scotia, returning in the fall
to the national convention at Portland.
