real live princess and he has a much bet
ter impression of the royalty. especially
of Sweden. than he had before the trip.
But another incident that Sam likes to
dwell on more, perhaps, than his audience
with the princess is the day he carried
| the American flag in the parade of the
delegates. There were 20,000 or $1,000 in
line, the American delegates being in the
rear This was headed by Sam, who
proudly bore the Stars and Stripes
through the streets OF foreign city, a
thing that was once beyond his fondest
dreams. And how proud he was of odd
Glory on that day, the flag that made
his pleasure possible. Sam represented a
good deal more than the Good Templars
of America when he marched proudly at
the head of his countrymen through the
streets of Stockholm
Sam having demonstrated his ability as
la speaker on the trip over, the delegates
were eager to hear him and he had to
speak again and again in Stockholm. He
spoke twice in the same hall which was
crowded to the doors each time and once
he gave the history of his life. But all
the compliments they heaped upon him
afterwards could not change him one iota
and he was just the same old Sam as
before.
Sam was delighted with Sweden and
the people, declaring that they used the
delegates so well that he was almost sor-
ry to leave for home He was in Stock
holm about two weeks and he and Mr..
Gowen, the other delegate from Maine,
were among the last to leave. Some
things he saw he thought to be an inn
provement on American ways but on the
whole he felt that after all there is no
place like the old State Of Maine He had
a delightful trip, but one of the best
things of all was the safe return to his
old State.

AUCTION DECLARED OFF.
Band Will Sell Seats in the Same Old
Way.

The plan of auctioning off the seats
for Are You a Mason?" which was
announced in the Journal. yesterday
morning, caused considerable objection
among the theatre patrons. so much
in fact that at a meeting of the direc-
tors held. last evening. it was decided
to abandon it altogether and stick TO
the old style of first come, first served,
at the regular prices.
The principal objection to the auc-
ton plan was that many who feel able
to pay the dollar for Il reserved seat
would not feel able to bid for it al
auction and thus many who would
wish to attend might be shut out. As
il is the opening night of the hall and
for the benefit of the band the man
aSement wishes to give every one an
opportunity to attend. So the auction
plan has been abandoned entirely and
the seats will be on sale as usual and
the first one to arrive after the sstltA
opens will get the first choice of seats
1T the regular price.
