SENATOR LODGE.

Gardiner, Me-, Sept. 6.-(SpeciaD.-
Enthusiasm in it's supreme hight was
personified by the hundreds Of citizens
who attended the Republican rally at
johnson Oncra house last evening. The
streets We're crowded an hour before
evening trains, which arrived here at
the same time, bought scores and scores
of people here and the band began play
Ing Depot square became a solid
block of humanity. Then the rush for
the Opera house started, and none but
the strenuous were near the head Of
the procession. Seats were filled in a
twinkling. The band played but few
could hear il above the confusion Of
voices in discussion before the speakers
appeared. 1t was without doubt the
most enthusiastic gathering that has
assembled in Gardiner for many years.
The Hon. F. l.. Russell, chairman of
the Republican city committee. called
upon the Hon. Robert H. Gardiner to
preside. Mr. Russell referred to Mr..
Gardiner as n staunch Republican ana
man all admired. Mr.. Gardiner ac-
and then after brief remarks introduced
the Hon. Forrest Goodwin as the first
speaker.
Mr. Goodwin confined his remarks
to State issues. He spoke first OF tax
alton and his vigorous eloauence in
setting forth facts that cannot be sue
cessfully disputed convinced everybody
that in spite of all the accusation the
re ha
ness is conducted without extravaganza
and with more wisdom than the Demo-
cratic party has ever shown. He spoke
also Of the railroads and showed how
distorted are the ideas the Democrats
have tried to convey regarding a meas
ure which was the means of develop
ing portion of Maine. which without
means of transportation would have
always remained wilderness. Then
he spoke of resubmission and the
Sturgis law. He made it plain that the
Sturgis commission was the only
means by which Gov. Cobb could hope
to suppress the liquor traffic as he
had pledged his honor to do. ''Of
course" said Mr.. Goodwin. you cannot
prohibit liquor selling with any more
success than you can larceny but It can
be controlled Cyrus Davis succeeded in
buying three bottles of whiskey in Rum
ford Falls because he was with his
friends and could find the low dives
where it is sold. Eut can you imagine
Gov. William I. Cobb seeking whiskey
in kitchen barrooms?''
Mr.. Goodwin's speech held the closest
attention of the audience and was fol-
lowed by a prolonged demonstration of
approval.

FUNERAL OF W. SCOTT FOWLER,
Remains Inferred in Congressional
Cemeterv

The remains Of Walter Scott Fowler, who
died last Sunday, were inferred this after
noon in the family lot in Congressional
cemetery. Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. E. Hez Sven at the residence of
Mr.. William w. Wallingsford, 434 10th
street southwest. where the deceased had
made his home for many years and where
he died.
Mr.. Fowler was a native and a lifelong
resident of this city. He was forty-flve
years of age, and for nearly twenty years
past had been continuously in the employ
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
The announcement of Mr.. Fowlers death,
which was unexpected, was in the nature
Gle of friends and acquaintance, by whom
he was most highly regarded. Deceased
was the youngest brother Of Mrs. Alice
Thompson.

incidentally have accumulated abundance
of evidence to disprove the claim OF our OPP
ponents that the practice Of dumping. as 1t
is called throughout Europe, is general.
hold in my hand a letter from business
man Of New Jersey on that subject. He
says he recently purchased at Trenton, N.
j., Mccormick mower for $36. This, ne
says, was the price at which any one could
buy, spot cash. He found the identical
make and pattern for sale In England at
f10 ts4S. 40 our money!, and in France Tor
275 francs. or $50 He found Smith & Wes-
son revolvers, which regularly sell in New
York at 5000, for sale in Paris at the
equivalent of SIS. He found the Douglas
States for $3.50 per pair, also popular in
London, the metropolis Of free-trade
country. at the equivalent of "a per pair,
and in Paris at the equivalent of $4.25 per
pair. The identical Sorosis shoe, which sells
in New York at $3.50. is sold in London at
$525. My daughters, who spent the winter
in Europe, wrote their mother, who was
soon to join them, to bring Shoes for they
could not get good shoes as cheap in Paris.
My friend says he found Singer sewing
machine at a cheaper price in Europe than
in America, but he added that 1t was a
machine made at their German factory, and
of a much rougher finish and inferior in
every way. -
