II was evident, yesterday morning,
from appearances in the vicinity of the
place where the Roosevelt meeting was
held on the previous evening, that pick
pockets had put in some excellent work.
More than one of the crowd which
gathered at that time was relieved OF
his pocketbook. A gentleman coming
down Grove street at an early hour IN
the morning discovered such an article
living in the street where it had been
thrown after being torn open BY the
thief who took it. No one but the
owner knows just how much or how
little money it contained. Another was
found in the rear of the residence of
Mrs. Emma Brick on Powhattan street.
This had been relieved of all that was
of any value and thrown one side. The
largest amount reported as having
disappeared was SIG which
Max Slosberg said he missed after he
had attended the meeting. watch
was reported as having disappeared
from the person of a man who was
standing near the post office building
as the procession passed by. This was
not reported to the police at all and the
other cases were not reported until 1t
was too late for the officers to find the
man or men who were guilty Of the
pocket picking.

ing arranged by the labor organiZa-
tions of this city and Hallowell. This

pleasure. The parade will include
practically all the carpenters. masons.
mason tenders, and painters, together
with the various organizations among
the employees of the Edwards Manu-

saw some hay II years, old the
other day. said j. NJ. Fogg, YESTERDAY.
1T was at Mr.. Dudley's farm in Mt.
Vernon. The hay was cut in 1885 and
there are now from eight to 10 tons
left. 1t is bright looking hay and the
cattle eat it with relish. when they
get any of it. Mr.. Dudley says he's
always going to have hay in his hay
NOW. Since he put in his 1885 crop he
has never been without a supply suffi-
Gent to carry his large herds of stock
through the winter, and he does not
propose to run short if he can help it.
1t is remarkable that hay should keep
so long, but Mr.. Dudley says that the
cattle and the horses like it apparently
as well as if it were freshly cut

Everything in the line of farm
produce is now very low in the local
market said wholesale dealer, yes
terday. I'VE are paying but 40 cents
per bushel for potatoes and are not
buying all that are brought to us
either. The reason for this low price
is the fact that potatoes are decay
ing badly in the ground, this season.
Another rain will practically ruin
many fields. The farmers are digging
them up and getting them into the
market as fast they can in order
to save them from this trouble. Apples
are going to be cheap, this season.
All kinds OF berries which are grown
at this season of the year are also
quite abundant. Blackberries are
bringing but cents per quart at the
present time.

On Newspaper Row.

The Bangor Commercial of Tuesday
has the following relative to the news
paper representatives. at the Eastern
State Fair this week. Business was
lively on Tuesday on Newspaper Row,
where half dozen papers have re-
representatives. at work scrawling off
copy with pencil or pound it out on the
typewriters while the hurdy- gurdy
nearby keeps up Il continuous grinding
out of the well-worn strains of Rosie
O'Grady. It's the same old organ and
the same tune of last year so it has
ceased to be the inspiration for great
thoughts and poetic flights as was the
case at l901's fair.
The first press representative to oc-
cupy quarters on the Row was Roy
Horton Flynt of the kennebec Journal,
a member of the class of '03. Univer-
sity of Maine, who has already gained
distinction as being one of the bright
est young man in the profession in the
state. Mr.. F'lynt is accompanied by
Percy Hill, son of Gov John F. Hill,
and together they are occupying the
kennebec Journal building which is
headquarters for visitors to the fair
from that section of the state. Mr..
Flynt turns out copy by the yard from
his typewriter and has already made
some records for speed which will pro-
badly be beaten by himself before the
close of the fair.
The Main Farmers building is occu-
pied by George II. French, well known
in Maine newspaper circles. DR.. George
M. Twitchell, editor and manager OF
the paper. and an authority in his line,
will arrive here Wednesday while Hon.
Y. A. Gilbert, the agricultural editor. is
also present.
Frank H. burlington. formerly a
member of the Lewiston Journal, is at
tending the fair in the interests OF the
Turf. Farm and Homie. Mr. burlington
is well known among Maine neWspa-
permen and is warmly welcomed to
Newspaper Row, this being the hrst
wear that he has attended the 1air in
the interest of his present paper.

THRILLING WITH YOUR HEALTH
Is Like Playing with a Loaded Gun.
IT You Have Kidney Trouble
Attend to it at Once.

1t Is easy to tell whether your Kid
neys or bladder are diseased. Take a
Dottle or glass tumbler and fill it with
urine. If there is a sediment-a pow
der like substance-after standing 4
day and night, if it is pale or dis
colored. ropy or stringy, there is some
thing wrong with the Kidneys. Other
sure signs of disease are a desire to
urinate often, pain in the back, or if
your urine stains linen.
There is no question that DR.. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is the best
and surest medicine in the world for
diseases of the Kidneys. Liver, Blad-
der and Blood, rheumatism, Dys-
pepsia, Chronic Constipation, and the
sicknesses peculiar to women. 1t
quickly relieves and cures inability to
hold urine and the necessity of getting
up number of times during the night,
and puts an end to the scalding pain
when passing urine.
The Rev. Henry P. Miller, pastor
Baptist church, Spartenburg, S. c.,
writes:
For eleven years I suffered with
kidney, liver and heart troubles. SWIM
ming in the head, dull headache and
numbness of the limbs. Several ply
sicians prescribed for me and 1 took
different medicines, but none of them
did me any good. I then began the
use of DR.. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy, and in about two weeks was
entirely Well"

dys Favorite Remedy in the New 50

THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS.

A writer in Harper's Weekly wishes
to know "how an American boy who
accepts one of Cecil Rhodes scholar
ships is going to get job after he
has completed his course at Oxford.
What the Rhodes scholars are ex-
pected to find at oxford" he says,
Seems to be rather an atmosphere
and an inspiration than scholarship.
An American lad who goes to an Amer
lean college usually sees his way more
or less clearly to the Next step. He
goes out into the world with group
of his contemporaries. and commonly
goes on keeping in touch with them.
But the Rhodes scholars, when they
have finished their stay at oxford and
come home, seem likely to find them
selves for a time very much alone in
the world, and without any special
knowledge which can be put to use
to get a foothold in an American COM
munitY."
The underlying idea of the CORE
spondent quoted seems to be that the
atmosphere" of oxford will prove in
lmical to the fortunes of the young
American who has lived for a time in
1t; that he will come home to discover
he had been left behind by the Amer
lean march of progress, and will there
fore find it difficult to secure a lob"
of a kind in keeping with his attain
ments. This, however. seems rather
an unwarranted view to take of the
matter. The young American in Ok
ford will carry something of his ma
tive atmosphere" with him. He will
not be cut off entirely from America,
assuming for convenience that the
English college is not as progressive
as the American. He will have his
American newspapers and magazines
and his letters from home. Thus he
will keep in touch with affairs on this
side of the ocean, notwithstanding his
mind is being polished by English mas
ters.
In respect to the matter of the Job"
much will depend upon the boy. The
fact of having received a college edu-
not of itself open the door to a Job"
TO a young man. The education may
help the young man to hold his posi-
ton. but II does not procureit for him.
There must be something more than a
diploma behind IL all. Merit. energy.
willingness. resourcefulness. dependa-
bility, count for more than degrees.

THE IMPERIALIsTIC TEMPER.

Some of the newspapers are trying
to make out that the conduct Of the
four officers and one marine of the
United States cruiser Chicago who are
nov in prison in Venice for boisterous
conduct and resisting the peace off,
GERS were inspired by what they choose
to call the imperialistic spirit-that is,
they thought that as the United States
had become the greatest power In the
world they had right to do pretty
much as they pleased in any and every
part Of the world. OF course they had
no such thought. They were ashore on
leave of absence and drank too much
wine. They became a little boisterious,
and when the peace officers interfered
they resisted arrest. That perhaps is
about the whole story. 1t may be that
when the truth is known their side of
the case will appear much better than
it does at present.
In the meantime they cannot be hav-
ing very comfortable time in the
common prison of Venice. Doubtless
they have repented their folly many
times since they recovered their senses.
According to the dispatches our State
Department has taken steps for their
release, but it is by no means certain
that the Italian government will be so
ready to pardon them. Still, it is
known that the King is of kindly dis
position and may be prevailed upon
to regard with leniency the offenses
with which they are charged.
They have more reason to be alarmed
for the outcome of a courtmartial trial
to which they will undoubtedly be sub
jected. The discipline in the navy is
very strict, and it would not be UNI
precedented if they should be dis
missed from the service. Some of the
newspapers have expressed the opinion
that there is no doubt that they will be
expelled. 1t is doubtful if their punish
ment will be as severe as that. One
of them, Wynne, is a captain If he
should be dismissed the work of nearly
a lifetime would go for nothing. At
his age he could hardly expect to get
good foothold in any other profession
or in any occupation

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record (DemO

have been trying to master its prob
lens for a hundred years But self
government is not to be taught the Fill

other more drastic means or benevolent
assimilation"

the United States. She must look
across the Atlantic to the children of
her own blood and finally enter the
Union as six or eight states-Scotland.
Ireland and Wales, each one, and Eng
land divided into two, perhaps three
This process of annexation may be
simplified somewhat by the fact that
we have already practically annexed
Ireland"
The Chicago Chronicle says: THE
French parliamentary elections dem
onstrate that the country districts are
still the salvation of France. If it lay
with Paris the republic would soon be
the prey of half-cracked socialistic the
orists and the entirely sane but equal
ly dangerous adventures who aim at
power through fomenting aE:i-Semit-
ism. Dreyfusism and other popular
prejudices. Fortunately, Paris no long

otherwise it would fare i'll with the
republic"

which the Republicans have neglected
