The Politics of Gen. Miles.
(Biddeford JournaD.

lbluutloIu JOuIldIj'
Before the Miles presidential boom
is inflated to the bursting point, it
would perhaps be we'll for the Demo-
Gratis who control the gas valve to find
out whether their man is Democrat
or not. In the great free-for-all race
in 1883. Miles was understood to be an
aspirant for nomination by the Repub-
licans after the withdrawal of James
G. Blaine. Miles was understood to be
a Republican in 1888; if he has be-
come IL Democrat since that time the
fact has not been definitely announced
Miles may be with the Democrats on
some issues, but it is extremely doupl-
full if he is available, even as COM
promise candidate. The custom Oh
electing one time popular heroes 10 lhe
presidency has passed into lnnocuous
desuetude.

OF course everybody was disappoint-
cd that yesterdays winds off 50 dy
Hook were too light to allow the first
race to be finished within the time
limit Of So hours for the 80 mile
course. The attempt at a race proved
the same kind Of failure that was so
common two and four years ago, and
the hope of better breezes, which was
the reason for having the races in Au-
gust, rather than in September or
October, was not realized. The at
tempt at a race showed one thing in
gratifying fashion, namely that the
Reliance is faster than the Shamrock
III. in light airs. Most of the experts
had figured that the English boat
would be superior under these condi-
tions. We can only possess our souls
in patience and whistle for livelier
breezes. next time.

Here is some good advice from the
Portland Express: For the stranger
within our gates who desires a good
deal of pleasure from one days ex-
periences no better way can be found
than to take trip along the rivers of
Maine to Bangor. 1t is possible to go
TO Bangor by way of Augusta in the
early morning, spend several hours in
the queen city and return on the fast
express by way of Lewiston and Au-
burn. The railroad on the way down
takes the traveller past Names famous
college town, from the train one gets
3 view of the towers Of old BoWdoin,
then following along the winding
banks of the beautiful Kennebec to
Ha)loWell from which place one can
look up the bend Of the river to where
the dome of Names State House rises.
Then on to the capital, still following
the river and speeding through the
hills and valleys of the river valley.
Then crossing the river on to the
PenObscot region and the pretty little
city of Bangor. The scenery is
beautiful all the way and gives the
traveller a fine idea Of the lovelincss of
the grand old State of Maine"

August is the month when the small
mouthed black bass is fastidious and
sometimes about the only thing that
may be relied on to whet his appetite
is a struggling grasehopper. This will
generally tempt him to rise from force
of habit if nothing else, and hopper
fishing for bass comes as close to d
fly fishing as is possible with bait fish
ing. The hoppers should be taken and
kept alive in wire cages or boxes and
handled as little as possible before
placing them on the hook. They
should be hooked" tightly through the
back so as to not to injure them. cast
over the retreat of the fish and left to
struggle naturally on the water. A
small hook with no sinker is used: the
lighter the rod the prettier will be the
contest. To cast this bait any distance
without tearing it from the hook re
ouires delicacy that comes of long exss
Derience and it is, all in all. one of the
most Fascinating kinds of angling. On
cool August days the bass will take
frogs, but September must come before

ALL RECORDS BROKEN.
Attendance at Religious Assemblies
Has Been Very Large.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22-Attendance at the
religious resorts this summer has broken
all records. This condition began to be true
early in June, and August saw no falling
off. For the most part, and perhaps except
ing Winona, these conferences have not
been attended by ministers of the first
rank, unless they are on the programme.
The average American divine, whose
friends pronounce him great and pay him
n high salary for his pulpit work, has not
yet reached the point where he will sit at
the feet of other men. similarly esteemed
by their friends, take notes and go home to
his congregation spiritually and mentally
benefited. This task is what ministers of
ordinary rank perform but those of the
first rank still go abroad, or, this year,
go to out of the way places and study by
themselves in their own way. Women out
number men about two to one. but in
former years the proportion has been even
worse.
Attendance this year has not been phe-
nomenal; there was rush or crush. In
stead, at Northfield, at Ocean Grove, at
Winona and the rest, there was shown a
healthy growth, this year with many pre-
vious ones. If there is a loss of religious
faith, as some argue, IL Is not shown by the
summer religious gatherings, now practic-
ally over.

away. He was still wearing prison garb,
but no one saw him. and in that attire
he actually travelled from Berlin to Ores
den, distance of more than one hundred
miles How he did it remains a mystery,
like many of his transactions.
SECURED AN OUTFIT.
Arrived at Dresden he gained entrance to
the fashionable Hotel dc l.Europe and
plundered several rooms occupied by visi-
tors. In the first room he found an elegant
gray suit. with overcoat and hat to match.
These he took away, leaving his convicts
clothes hidden under the mattress, thus be-
traying his identity. In the next room he
stole a pair of patent leather shoes; in a
third room he found a shirt, studs, links,
tie, and a diamond pin. In a fourth room
he helped himself to a cigar case filled with
the costliest Havanas. and in a fifth room
he found a razor and shaving necessaries.
He sat down as cooly as if he were in his
own residence and shaved off his beard.
From other rooms he took cash and other
valuables. Altogether he must have been
in the hotel fully two hours, during which
time he completely ransacked the place.
How he contrived to do this without being
discovered is more than any one tell.
There is not the slightest clew to his pres
ent whereabouts.
He is a dangerous man to be at large,
and his wife. in particular, is i'm terror.
Being married according to the rites of the
Roman Catholic Church. she is tied TO the
criminal for life. The original discovery
that her husband was not a prince at all,
but a former valet who had turned burg
lar on large scale, was terrible blow to
her pride, and 1t was relief TO her to
know that he was safely behind the walls
of a German prison. When he escaped the
first time he went straight to her to per-
suade her by threats of violence to live
with him, and the police hope he will try
to do this again, for then they will surely
lay hands on him. His wife, however
lives in fear and trembling, believing that
he will assassinate her to prevent her from
ever belonging TO another. Manolesco
with all his other remarkable qualities, is
madly jealous of his beautiful and aristo-
cratic wife. GEORGE WEISS.

ZIONIST CONGRESS.
Effort Will BE Made to buy "a Part Of
British Egypt.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The Zionist Con-
gress, opening mt this moment in Basic,
Switzerland. is the sixth to be held since
the first one. projected for Munich, Ger
many, was driven from that city by public
sentiment. American delegates said before
sailing that the decision of the congress
now opening will be to buy part of Egypt
bordering on Palestine that happens to be
under the British flag, and it colonize
Russian Jews. Eventually it is hoped to
buy Palestine itself and create therein a
state similar to Bulgaria, colonizing i'm it
the half million Jews whom Russia so lit
tie likes as citizens. The same delegates
claim that Zionism in America is growing
but it is already divided into factions. and
it always has been stoutly opposed by
well-to-do Jews, especially those who 90 not
attend religious services save perhaps dur
ing the Passover holidays, and who claim
Russian and other Eastern Jews do not
really need relief.
The talk about bringing Russian Jews to
America is counted idle by those who really
comprehend the vast situation. 1t is said
TO be within the power of the congress now
sitting in Basic to purchase the portion of
Egypt If England will SELL the requisite
funds having been secured.

Once the amount was 5000 another time
IL was 10000, and other occasions he
seized equally big sums, but every time he
got away unmolested. At other times he
broke into the carefully guarded strong
rooms of banks and opened safes supposed
to be proof against dynamite. His hotel
robberies were carried out sometimes by
day and sometimes by night. but always
when the rooms were occupied by guests,
so that it would seem impossible for any
stranger to enter them. much less ransack
them, without being discovered.
How Manolesco effected these master
pieces of criminal ingenuity remains a
mystery to the police. but the facts stand
on record. One remarkable feature of his
operations was that he had no accomplices
whatever, which explains much of his sue
cess.
This criminal activity lasted for more
than five years and during the greater
part of the time Manolesco was living a
double life of truly romantic character.
When he was not actually engaged in COM
hitting sensational burglaries he assumed
the title OF Prince Lahowari--his former
master-and went into society In Paris and
Berlin. Thanks to the lessons which he
had learned so well as valet. and to the
intimate knowledge he had obtained re-
garding the inner history of the Lahowari
family, Manolesco was able to play his
role to perfection. His wealth made deep
impression on society, while his eccentrici-
ties gained him the reputation of being a
genius. From time to time he appeared
for few days, for a week, or even for a
month, but these mysterious retrements
