According to the monthly report sent
out by the Maine Central Railroad Co.,
to the different engineers in their en-
ploy. Engineer George Pilsbury of the
yard engine in this city, has the best
record of any engineer in having con-
sumed less coal for the miles Travelled
than any yard engineman on the entire
Maine Central system. When 1t Is
taken into consideration that there are
some 40 yard engines in use at different
points on the line, the record of Mr..
Pilsbury is an enviable one. Mr.. Pts
bury also has the best record of any
engineer in the consumption of oil for
the same length Of time.

NATURE SPARES


What a fortunate provision OF nature
II is, that deprives the rose Of mental
suffering: for how poignant would be its
grief to discover. in the height Of its
blooming glory. that a canker fed at its
heart. and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable
store-house Of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast gloom over the lives of thousands
Of young women. but thanks to the in
vestigations of scientists the true cause
OF hair destruction is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpicide
absolutely destroys this germ. thus
permitting the hair to grow as ma
ture intended. Sold by leading drug

''The committee came here and in

not arrange it for them. The president
did not know they were here If they
had sent word that they desired to see

the petition to the personal attention of

Delta and Sigma, White Bear
Cracks, Are Shipped to
Montreal

me preliminary work Of selecting
candidates from which a challenger for
the Sewanhaka cup will fnall be Sc
lected has been completed by the spe-
c1al regatta committee of the White
Bear Yacht club. Delta, the local boat,
which has trimmed up everything in
sight, was shipped few days ago, and
now the Sigma, the boat built for the
club at Oshkosh, has also been decided
upon, and Is now on the way to Mont
real, where she will arrive about the
same time as the Delta.
The crews which went down to
Oshkosh to engage in the trials on
Winnebago returned home yesterday
morning, and are well pleased at the
selection Of Sigma for the final trials
with Delta.
Sigma engaged the Alpha in racing
at Oshkosh. In the very light breezes
which blew Alpha had slightly the
best of the argument, but Sigma show
ed her stern whenever the wind meant
business. Sigma also downed all the
other cracks which raced against her
in the heavy winds, and, like the Delta,
is an exceedingly fast boat in a shake
up.
The two boats should reach Montreal
at least within week. and John john
son will be on hand to receive them
and get them into racing shape.
According to the deed of gift con-
trolling the Seawanhaka cup it will
not be necessary to nominate the chal-
lenger until five days before the date
set for the first race. This will give
the committee ample opportunity to
test the qualities of the two boats on
the home waters Of the defender for at
least week before the day Of nominal
ton. Two full crews will leave here
on the evening Of the 23d for Montreal
and will engage in the final trials i'm
mediatelY upon arrival
