"SAILOR JEAN"

The Boston Record of Wednesday
contained an article on the search
through insane asylums and aims
houses Of Massachusetts for A. u. NJ.
Willard of New York, who dIsap-
peared from Boston in September 1902
Mr.. Willard is described as a print
er by trade and fine tenor singer
who had sung in many of the large
churches in New York. The descrip-
tion says further he is about thirty
slender, weighing about 1870 pounds,
and having a dark brown mustache.
The publication of this article called
forth letter from Augusta. Me-, stat
ing that it was thought the Sailor
Jean" who is now travelling with a
wheelbarrow somewhere in Ohio,
Kentucky or Indiana, may be the man,
as the description of Mr.. Willard tai
lied with that of this man who spent
some time in Augusta, last spring in
a printing office.
The Augusta report of him says he
often surprised the employees of the
Office by singing in fine tenor bits, from
classic operas and choice music. Fur
thern1ore he was fond of walking long
distances. He left Augusta with his
wheelbarrOw and the avowed purpose
of a journey to all the principal cities
of America.
Sailor Jean, it will be REMEMBERED,
was in this city in April. He has been
through Concord, Albany, Harrisburg,
Wheeling, Columbus and when last
heard from about twelve days ago was
on the way to Frankfort, Ky.

THE EVOLUTION or An
EXCURSION.

When Captain Bowman was asked by
a western railway manager how large a
party he expected to raise in Vermont
for the Grand Army excursion to San
Francisco, he modestly answered,
lone hundred 4" "Out it in two, -
replied the doubling Thomas. But
the railroad man didn't know the
Captain-with a big G. When the
latter had got in his work, and inter-
est began to warm up, and applica-
tions for passage began to come in,
the two tourist sleepers which had
been proposed-as maximum provi-
sion for the Captains 100, to be at
tacled to regular trains-were soon
taken, and the demand was for third !;
and when the call was for fourth,
and then a fifth, the wonder among
the western railway officials was what
had struck Vermont. The wiry little
Captain was getting in his work. The
fifth sleeper was provided and the Yer
mont Department excursion train,
with baggage and smoking car, made
n special-through to San Francisco.
And now, within the past few days,
notices of desire to participate have
come in to such an extent that sixth,
and seventh, sleeper have been sue
cessively demanded, and the effort is
to get them. The railway management
ought to, and unquestionably will, be
able to provide transportation for all
corners.
f. M. Milligan, travelling passenger
agent for the east, of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railway, was
in this city last evening in consuita-
ton with Captain Bowman on the
ways and means of providing for the
rapidly increasing number of excur-
sionists. Mr.. Milligan's road, taking
the excursion at Chicago and carrying
it to Council Bluffs, is an important
link in the long chain Of across con-
tinent connections, and the company's
travelling agent for New England is
working hand i'll hand with Captain
Bowman in the arrangements for
good and adequate transportation
What these two, working together
the Captain to provide the passengers,
the railway agent to insure the pro-
vision of transport-cannot accomplish
in the way of successful results, no
other pair of exploiters need under
take. The agent and his road are
very handsomely supplementing the
Captains work i'll his State. Mr.. Mil
ligan declares that the Vermont De-
paltment will have, far and away,
the largest, best organized and
equipped excursion that will go to the
national encampment.
