With improved and cheapened travel untold millions will, in course of time, go to see the beautiful capital of the United States. But the occasion when the greatest crowds will always go will be at the presidential inaug- uration. A bill has passed the senate changing the date from the bleak and inhospitable fourth of March to the usually mild thirtieth of April The bill ought to pass in the national house of representatives and be ap- proved by every state. Already the governors of thirty states have ex- pressed their appreciation at the change. The fourth of March just passed was a fair sample of what Washington weather can be at that season.

DEAD MAN WOULD WED.
Jim Younger, Tn Rad Predicament,
 Applies to Governor.

Jim Younger, Tn a Bad Predicamcnt,
 Applies to Governor.
 ST. PAUL, Minn., March 14.-Jim Younger wants to get married. He cannot because he is legally dead; hence he is unable to enter into any contract. Younger submitted the ques- ton of whether or not lie could wed to Governor Van Sant, who has looked into the matter, with some surprising results
 In Minnesota life prisoner is civil iy dead. The only way he can make a contract binding in the eyes of the law is through the board which pa roles him, in this case the state board Of control, which board is empowered to enter into contract for him. It is not probable, however, that the three members of the board of control sep enter into marriage contract with any woman for the benefit of the paroled life convict.
 The only way for Jim Younger to be- come married man in Minnesota is to get a pardon, which will restore him to the rights of q living citizen. Another phase of the law is that nei- ther Jim Younger nor his brother, Cole, if they shall establish any busi- ness of their own, as has been con- templated, can be held for any debts that they may incur.

Australia. being a new country and

Australia, being a new country and not carefully cultivated, has passed through an unparalleled series of pests, most of them imported. The rabbit pest nearly brought her agri- culture to . standstill, and before that capeweed was a pest, which after 40 years of fighting gave way to useful grasses. Not many years ago Aus tralian rivers were choked up with water eress brought from England, but it was finally driven out by the planting of willows along the banks of the streams Now the govern ment has organized against the prick ly pear," 3 species of cactus that thrives anywhere and is overrunning the country.

SACO'S POLICE TANGLE.
Supreme Court Enjoins City Paying
the 81 Special Police.

Saco, Me, June 15.-Associate Justice
Peabody of the supreme court, Satur-
day, issued an order enjoining the city
or any OF it's agents from paying out in
any manner moneys belonging to the
city to any one of the 81 special police
officers who, ii was claimed, were APP
pointed by Mayor Freeman at the June
city government meeting. The re-
straininG order was served on City
Clerk Tibbetts and City Treasurer Har-
per.
The order was issued in response to a
petition presented, Saturday forenoon,
by Judge b. T. Cleaves as counsel for
the petitioners, who are Herbert r. Jor-
dan, Phineas Kelly, George Z. Morri-
son, Paul Q. Sands Marshall w. Fol-
lansbee. Henry NJ. Burns, Edmund Gar
land, William 0. Freeman, John p
Deering, William J. Maybury, George
e. Twombley, Charles L. Goldthwait
and Ferdinand w. Guptil.
Mayor Freeman declares that he
never appointed any special officers,
while the records Of the city clerk show
that the mayor made the appointments
and the aldermen confirmed them.
An effort Will be made to compel City
Clerk Tibbetts to change the records to
conform to what the petitioners con-
tent was the actual action taken by the
mayor and aldermen at that meeting.
This is the second restraining order
issued by the supreme court as a result

A lively game of baseball was played
Saturday afternoon, between the Pet
tengill Corners and a team from North

with two men out and two strikes
called on him. After the game a COLA

SUMMER TIME TABLES.
Summary of Leaving Time for Maine
Central Trains.

Today, the new summer timetables
on the Maine Central Railroad will
be in force The changes that are to
take effect have been referred to by
the Journal, but a repetition will not
be out of place.
The most important addition to the
train service of the road is the early
morning train for the east and it's re-
turn in the evening. This train will
start from South Gardiner at 5.55,
leaving this city at els A. NJ, max
ing connections at Waterville for Oak
land and points in Somerset county,
and arriving at Bangor shortly before
o'clock Returning, this train leaves
Bangor at 4.4O in the afternoon, reach
ing this city at 40 and arrives at
South Gardiner at 1855, where it re
mains. 1t is felt that the establish
ment of this train service alone will
be of immense benefit to the people
of this section, and its introduction
is hailed with delight by business and
professional men.
Under the new arrangement one can
so east from Augusta as far as Ban
gor on seven different trains, and as
far as Waterville on eight. At Ban
gor close connections are made with
trains for ST. John, Calais. Bar Har
Dor, AroostooI county and Moosehead
lake.
These various trains leave Augusta
as follows: For Waterville ard Ban
gor. 1.12, $50. 6.1S. and 9.0S A. M. and
1920, 2.35 and 500 p. NJ. For Water
vile alone, leaves Augusta at 1926 P.
NJ. On Sunday east bound trains leave
this city at 1.12, $50 and 9.15 A. NJ
and 2.35 p NJ. and trains for the west
leave Augusta at 2.35, 6.37 and 9.42
A. NJ, and 3.OS. 1852, 10 and 1912
p. NJ All these trains run to Port
land and Boston with the exception
of the 10 p. NJ. train, which, only
goes to South Gardiner. On Sunday,
trains will leave here for the west at
2S5 and 1910 A. NJ, and 5.55 and 1912
p NJ.
The Accommodation train between
Augusta and South Gardiner makes
four round trips a day. This train ar
rives in Augusta at $50 A. NJ, 1.30,
$50 and $50 p. NJ. and leaves this
city at AS A. NJ, 200, 400 and 6.10
p. NJ. On Sunday, this train viii leave
Augusta at 200, 400 and 500 p. NJ.
The changes in the running time of
the various trains. east and west. will
cause travellers to watch the time
tables very carefully, else they'll get

NOT IN IT..
Night Owls Couldn't Play Ball a
Little Bit.
Day Crew Wins by a Score of 20
to 6.

The Night Owls couldn't play hall a
little bit. Perhaps it is not to be won
dered at. inasmuch as long continued
labor between the days has untitled
them for the glare of the sun. Prob
ably they would be able to win should
the game be waged by candle or cleo
trio light. This might be the best time
for them to play, and perhaps it would
not be amiss for them to insist that
the next game be played in Market
square at midnight,
Anyway they got trouncing. and a
bad one. too. The score of 20 to 6 does
not show them to a disadvantage at
all; they couldn't bat, and their bat
teries, of which there two, were not in
their element. One of their men did,
however, make the star play, fly
catch in left field, where Sanford held
down the territory.
For the day crew there was consid-
cradle star work. French pitched a
good game. He was a little wild at
times. but nevertheless was not hit
much. Kimball led the batting list
with four hits. one single, two doubles,
and a three-bagger. Charlie McCor-
mick was next with two singles, a
double and a three-bagger.
The detailed score was as follows:
