land was held at the HalloWell House,
Tuesday afternoon, Rev. w. F. Liv-
ingston, rector of st. Matthew's church,
officiating. There was a large gather
ing of the friends of the deceased. The
funeral ceremony was very impressive.
The eulogy on the life of Mr.. Kneeland
was very strong and bore touching
reference to his many good qualities.
Affable and most gracious in thought,
word and manner, he was a friend
maker. His integrity in business life
was at all times noticeable and COM
mendable.
The floral tributes were most beau
tiful and included a large anchor of
white roses and wax ivy leaves, from
the guests of the Hallowell House;
a wreath of roses ferns and pinks
from the employees of the hotel, numer-
Gus other set pieces and a great pro-
fusion of cut flowers
The bearers We're w. c. Johnson, E.

A nephew of the deceased, H. V.
Kneeland, also Mrs. Seth Keene, a
sister of Mrs. Kneeland, and Mrs. Bry-

present at the ceremony and accom-
panied Mrs. Kneeland on her sad jour-
ney home. The funeral at Harrison

Samuel McClasky of East Washburn

c. o. Gardner of Eastport has sold

r. Gardner of Dennysville.
C. L. Phillips of Bangor, is driving a
handsome jet black mare by Broomal,

horse is an extra good actor for a green
horse and shows marks of considerable.
speed.
Alta w. formerly handled by Niven
Crawford at West Rockport won race
at Dover the other day and got new
mark of 2.16. Mr.. Crawford fcresaw
good speed in this mare and is one of
those who was not surprised to read of
her new record.
The mantle of the late Robert Bonner
has fallen on c. K. G. Billings as he al
ways bought famous horses and never
raced them for money. Mr.. Billings
latest purchase, Lou Dillon, was en-
tered in $4,000 worth of stakes, but he
promptly cancelled all her engagements
and will drive her in matinees only.
The black gelding Charlie M, for

Tho of u,hnthpr not fho
best interests of the light harness sport
demand shorter races is one that Is be-
ing much discussed these days and ma
turally. as all the Readville races were
upon the two-in- three plan, last weeks
meeting, remarks the Boston Herald,
has been brought into the discussions
which have since arisen in regard to
this burning question. As rule the
"old line drivers and owners stick to
the old plan of three-in-five racing, al
though now and then one who has good
luck like that of last week concludes
that the new plan is the better. One
meeting, however, particularly one held
under the somewhat peculiar conditions
which pertained at Readville, is no
criterion. One of the great objections
to two-in-three racing from the owner
and drivers standpoint IS that in
large field of horses it does not give a
horse that gets away in the rear or
that makes a mistake or meets with a
mishap going away chance to work
through his field before the race is all
over and the money won by more
fortunate adversary. In THE Readvilie
races the fields were so small that this
objection could not beraised so that the
meet can hardly be used as an argu-
ment in favor of the two-in-three plan, |
so far as the objection referred to is
concerned.

DULL AND DISAPPOINTING.
A Poor Days Play by Tennis Players
n at Longwood.

Boston. Aug. A default by one of
the British players and decisive de-
feat for one of the American contest
ants, made the first days play for the
international lawn tennis challenge cup
at the Longwood Cricket Club, today,
dull and disappointing. The result,
however leaves each team with a point
in the total Of five.
1t was great disappointment to the
5000 lovers of the game when just as
the play was about to commence, it
was announced that r. F. Doherty had
given up his match with w. A. Learned,
because of a strained shoulder, and it
took considerable patience to sit even
for so minutes in a drizzling while the
other brother, Fl. l.. Doherty, defeated
one of the most popular of the Ameri-
can players, r. d. Wrenn, in straight
sets, 60, 6-3, Ga.
Under the rules governing the contest
the British team was obliged at
O'Clock, tonight, to nominate contest
ants for the doubles, tomorrow, and the
Doherty brothers We're named. There
is also n provision to the effect that in
case one Of the team is disabled another
member may take his place, so that it
is possible that Mahony may be substi-
tuted for r. F. Doherty before the
match, tomorrow. Summary:

Squirrel, 20; HalIoweII, 8.

The boys of the I'd baseball team of
the Hallowell High school returned
from Squirrel Island on the steamer
Gardiner Tuesday evening. after a
most enjoyable outing. They played .
game of baseball with the Squirrel
Juniors, Monday afternoon, and were
defeated to the tune of 20 to 8. They
encountered some very rugged talent
and were somewhat outclassed, but
were, nevertheless, able to get a good
deal of enjoyment out of the game. The
weather was perfect for an outing at
the seashore, and, as one enthusiast
expresses it.: They used us great"
The Journal was further informed lnat
they late watermelon about all the
time, went sailing, Tuesday morning,
and a few were sick" Parshley made
a very pretty triple play that is worthy
of especial mention. Some of the boys
were entertained in the homes, while
others slept aboard yachts in the
harbor.

YELLOW JACK IN MEXICO.
Thirty Deaths in One Week from tn,
Disease at Tampieo.

Washington, Aug 4.-Reports to the
marine hospital service refer to the
serious conditions at Tampico, Mexico,
from yellow fever. During the week
ended July IL there were sixty deaths
from all causes at Tampico, and of
these thirty were from yellow fever.
There were thirty-eight new cases
during that week, making a total of
eighty cases at that time. Recent
rains increased the mosquitoes and in
the week ending July Is there were
forty-five deaths from yellow fever out
of total death list of seventy. Fifty
nine new cases were added during that
week. The situation was growing
worse and the disease was spreading
to other points.
The American health authorities are
watching the situation closely because
of the probable spread of the disease
by railroad communications. 1t is
stated that if strict care is not taken
the infection may extend to Eagle
Pass or Laredo, Texas, in which eventit
would be difficult to prevent the
disease going into the southern states.
Trains leaving Tampico are over
crowded every day. Not only are
communications with Texas
points being watched closely, but the
SHINING r. the United States is being
looked after.

HAUNTED BY NIGHT OF HORROR.
Bride Who Fought of Burglar Meets
Him Again in Nightmare.

Vineland. n. j., Aug. AIRS Clara
futile, bride of five months, was
taken to the Cooper Hospital, Camden,
this morning, suffering from an all
ment which has puzzled several physi-
clans. Last October Mrs. futile, then
Miss Clara Cox, had a desperate fight
with a masked burglar They found
her lying in the yard with her clothing
torn to shreds. Restoratives were
applied, and the girl told the story of
the fight.
She said she heard the cellar door
slam and then noise in the shed near
by Upon opening the door she was
confronted by a man clad in rubber
coat and boots and wearing mask
made of oilcloth. He roughly asked
for her money and jewels, and being
told that she had none, he pushed her
aside and started to enter the house,
where her little brother was sleeping on
the lounge.
Then 1t was that the fight ensued.
The girl picked up mallet and struck
the fellow blow which knocked him
out of the door, He recovered, seized
her by the hair and pummeled her all
over the yard. She screamed
Father and shouted that she heard
the wagon coming. The masked man
hastily ran away and she fell in a
swoon.
For time Miss Cox went over the
fight IN her dreams, but gradually re-
covered, and In March was married to
Forrest futile. During the last few
weeks her hysteria has returned, and
almost nightly she goes over that fate
ful evening in October. Sometimes
she sees her assailant behind the pic
lures on the walls of her bedroom, and
then again she will hear him at the
cellar door. At other times she will
shout Father is coming!'' and Don't
choke me to death!'
