PAINTING CHIMNEYS
Three Lofty Stacks Recciced Coat at
the Hands of a Boston Man.

Augusta has been visited by kind
of steeple-Jack who during the past
few days, has applied a new coat of
paint to the smoke stacks at the shoe
factory, the Augusta Lumber Cos.
plant and the Colburn broom handle
factory on Bangor street.
The rapidity with which the man ac-
composites his work is surprising.
After he once gets his rigging in
operatian he applies the brush at
rate that is revelation to one who
has not seen the performance.
His rigging consists simply of a
tackle and boat swain chair" His
method of getting his apparatus in
position is by using a long pole with
which he raises the block of the tackle
to the first guy ropes on the chimney.
He then hoists himself to that point
from which point he again uses his
long pole to hook the next set of
tackles to the second set of guy wires.
Thie; is continued until he reaches the
tor of the chimney where he arTangeS
his tackle for the last time and then
begins the process of raising and
lowering himself in the painting pro-
cess.
He has his brush arranged on the
end of pole and commences working;
from the top downward. and for an
ordinary sized chimney the work is
sooK completed. The job at the broom
handle factory required between
one and two hours and he stated that
| he completed his job at the shoe
factory in about an hour and One-half
The man travels about the country
and takes the jobs wherever they APP
pear He came to Augusta from
| Lewiston, where he painted a number
of chimneys and left Augusta yester-
| day noon for Bangor, where ht
| thought he would be able to find some
| chimneys that would need some atten-
| ton.
The work is one that few painters
would care to undertake and it is pro-
bable that few could do the work Sc
quickly and Systematically as he does
He appeared to be as much at home OF
the dizzy top of the chimney as mos
| people do on the ground.

Job Springer.

The death of Job Springer. the no.
tice of whose sudden death will he
found in the Watervillc columns this
morning. came as a great surprise to
his relatives in this city.
Although he had been suffering from
heart disease at intervals for several
years. he was in about his usual health
last evening before leaving the city
He took the evening train for Water
vile to play in Halls sBand at the
evening concert. and the first intim;,
ton that his relatives had of his death
was when a Journal man made known
the sad news at late hour last night
Mr.. Springer was one of the best
known residents of Augusta, having
lived here all his life and being promi-
nent among musical organizations he
made a great many acquaintance and
friends who will be panied to learn of
his death.
A widow. Mrs. Elvira Springer. and
one daughter. Mrs. w. L. 3. Chase of
Northern avenue, survive.

STATE HOUSE MEN LOSE.
Bankers and Postoffice Clerks Have an
Easy Victory.

The State House Stars and the
Bankers and Postoffice Clerks played
five rare and racy innings yesterday
afternoon and it proved a complete
walkovcr for the Water street men.
In fact they pranced off with the game
when it was in its infancy and the
way things were heading conserva-
tive estimate would have made the fin
al score something like 100 to l. AS
it was the score was to 1.
The State House people have not
sufficiently recovered from their ig-
nominious defeat to tell what the
trouble with their combination really
was. but those on the side line say it
was largely do to the State House
pitcher. "Cy Young" Lapham.
Lapham. it seems, has been practic-
ing out behind the State House on a
new and strange ball. whose peculiari-
ties he has guarded with great care,
and he has not permitted any one near
him in his preliminary work. He
named it the "smoke ball" but for
some reason it refused to smoke yes
terday afternoon, or else it smoked
so much that it created a glare which
allowed the Bankers and Clerks to To-
cate it's whereabouts, with the result
that they batted out great and glori-
Gus victory.
Henry and Tuell did good work for
the State House but the game was
demoralized by the umpiring. which
according to some Of the players was
the worse of the year. Capt. Harry
Smith presided but the smoke" ball
seemed to have clouded his eyes more
than it did any one else's, and the gem
eral idea of the proper thing to do was
to send for the Insane hospital Off
Gals. and the plan was freely discuss
ed by many of the younger people.
However. cooler judgment prevailed
and he was allowed to go home. where
it is said he was kept under close
guard last evening.
The game was called on account of
darkness.

Delivers Patriotic Address to
Thousands of Old Veterans

livered n patriotic address here today
to several thousand old soldiers and
others, drawn from all parts of the
State, at the camp occupied by the vet
Grams attending the annual reunion of
the Kansas G.. A. r.
VicePresident Fairbanks said in
part:
"We have daily an increasing proof
of the value of the services of the
Union soldier in the cause Of the Re-
public. It's expanding power, its grow
ing grandeur, are only possible through
the victory won by the heroic efforts
of the mighty army of the Union
''Thc Grand Army of the Republic
has demonstrated full well that the
great body of the people may be relied
upon to fight its battles; that the
American private citizen is readily
transformed into invincible fighting
material. The members of that army
made forever glorious American arms,
not only because they achieved a great
victory, but because they won it in an
cverlastingly righteous cause They
have the CONSCIOUSNESS of a mighty
work well performed -

train for the west, bound for Boise
