In this article, Putting the Lobbyists in the Square" Samuel Merwin describes the bureau conducted by MT. Mccarthy, shows its value and traces the influence it has exerted in other sections of the country. My Iife-So Far" the late Josiah Flynt's vivid account of his rowing tramp life, has proved a most interesting piece of autobiography. There is much else of interest in this number.

WHITE CITY GERMAN DAY
FINE SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS
Great Gathering of Germans from All Over the State
 Wednesday.

The biggest day in the history of the White City will be Wednesday when Germans from every section of the state will come to the popular resort to enjoy the remarkable German Fes- tivap which Manager Speck has ar ranged for them. There is no doubt whatever of the signal success of the affair as the German societies in every city and town have met the splendid offer of Manager Speck of a special 1 German day with special attractions with fine enthusiasm and they are go- ling to do just what 1t was hoped they would, and that-make the day an overwhelmingly joyous one and state gathering.
 Certainly all should have the time of their lives as nothing has been spared either in expense or pains to provide royal German entertainment.
 The finest singing ever heard in this section will mark the day and among the selections will be the beloved Ger man anthem, This is the Day of the Lord" The American anthem will also be sung and the White City will ring with the splendid choruses.
 Special free attractions have been ar ranged for the day, The full Second Regiment band, under the directorship of Herr Fichtl of New Haven, will ren- der a program of purely German and American national airs. IA feature of unusual interest will be the singing of the celebrated Hoefer quartet, which will render some of the choicest Tyro- lean songs during the day. Another great feature, and secured especially for German day, will be the noted Maiva troupe of acrobats from Berlin.
 Charles A, Richter, one of the most expert rifle shots in the east, will give an exhibition of trick shooting. He will be assisted by Mme Richter, and the famous William Tell episode per formed, Richter shooting an apple off the head of his wife.
 At night a beautiful silver loving cup will be presented to the society represented by the largest number of members present.
 The whole great amusement resort will be lavishly and beautifully decor ated in the German and American na- tional colors, presenting a scene rarely if ever equalled at an out-of-doors place. Over 1000 pieces of bunting will be used in carrying out a part of the scheme of decoration, and hun dreds of flags will fly from every con- ceivable place in the park. All the employees of the White City will be at- tired in German costumes and there will be a gorgeous court of honor. The sight will certainly be a magnificent one that will be increased to stupen- dous beauty when a special extrava- gant revel in sensational pyrotechnical wonder will be given, Beautiful sou venir badges will be given to all those taking part in the singing and a col lection of valuable steins are also to be presented. For steins coupons will be given every person entering the park and the lucky names will be chos- en from among the lot by impartial Judges.

NEW HAVEN THEATER

The Ninety and Nine" rural comedy drama written by Ramsay Morris, billed at the New Haven thea ter, as the opening attraction tonight, August 26, for three nights and We'd nesday matinee, is in it's fifth season, and bids fair to remain many more for the popularity of the play seems to be on the increase instead of the de- cline. It is a justification of belief among the better class of playwrights that if given a chance the popular priced houses will support a much bet ter grade of attraction, for the Ninety and Nine" offers none of the impossi- bilities that have been the chief claims of the many of the so-called successes, but on the contrary, while it intro duces some startling scenic effects, it's action takes place in the state of In- diana in little village and the come- dy Is furnished by the quaint charac- ters of the rural districts and it car- ries with it an atmosphere wherein dwell the big-hearted, care-free coun- try folks

MAINEs TIMBER OUTPUT.
900,O00,O0o Feet Last Winter-Pre-
 pairing for This Years Out.

SVU,OOO,OO0 Feet Last Winter-Pre.
 pairing for This Years Gut.
 The log drives of all the Maine riy- CTS are now in the booms, reports the Bangor Daily News. The drives have been especially clean this year. no logs being left to winter in the streams and brooks. This of course has been due to the high awter which has con- tinued through the summer
 It is roughly estimated that last winters cut in Maine was about S00.- 100000 feet of spruce and perhaps l0O,000,O00 fet of pine, omts of the latter being in the southwestern part of the State, where second growth of pine has now developed along the Saco in place of those first great pines which gave Maine the name of the Pine Tree State.
 The lumbermen are already locating the. camps in the woods and making active preparations for next years cut. In the old times numbering was strictly a winter business, but in these times practically all the cutting is lone in the fall and this part of the work is ended by January 1. The in- dications point to a large cut, though the scarcity of labor is a serious ob- stacle to be overcome and there are other factors--the weather and the condition of the lumber market.
 Twenty thousand forest fire notices have recently been posted in the State of Maine, some being sent to every town and plantation, and those with large wooded sections being very iib- erally supplied. Doubtless the warn Ing conveyed by these notices has been factor, as we'll as the wet sum- mer in making the Maine record of forest fires more favorable than for many years. There were a few fires in June in Somerset and Washington counties, but they were not extensive and did very little damage. June Is usually the worst month of the year for these great fires which have work ed such havoc in the wild lands of this State. There were no fires in July or thus far in August, and the woods are now so wet and the swamps so full of water that it is very unlikely that Maine will suffer much from forest fires this year, even if long dry spell should come on.
 There will be no relaxation. how ever, in the vigilance of the fire war dens. There are 200 of these war; dens and though they are paid by the State only for time actually spent in fighting fires or otherwise serving the commissioner they are always on the watch. Most of them are men em- ployed in the woods by private con- cerns or engaged in running sporting camps and their own interests keep them very watchful against fires. These wardens posted the fire notices in the unincorporated places, while the notices were sent to the selectmen Of the towns and the assessors of the organized plantations.

FALL FASHIONS IN HATS.

Never, not even In the season now closing, which has been nothing if not queer in ite millinery as well as it's weather, has there been such an absolute go-as-you-please (so long as you go pleasingly) in the hat shapes and trimmings! I was brought face to face with the impossibility of defining the reigning forms while examining trunkful of "the latest" models, de- stined for the early autumn in the Berkshires, where for drives and fetes they will adorn the heads of fashiona- ble beauties. While all had certain resembling characteristics, no one among them could at all be said to be like any other Only one sort of hat was not included-that is, the small hat This was omitted because, as a matter of fact, the small hat does not exist in to-day's fashions. There are large hats, and enormously large hats, and some of medium size, but of the really small hat, the close, snug shape, not vestige will be seen until the theaters open again and the pret- ty little theater hats reappear which
 were occasionally seen toward the end
 of the spring season. Every imagina-
 ble material and ornament seems to
 be employed for them, the only stipu-
 lation being that the hat when finish
 ed shall be picturesque and bit un- usual. There are numbers of big
 brimmed hats that measure 22 inches from side to side, and which are trim med solely with cocks plumes or with
 huge bows of taffeta These are
 made of full-width silk tied in a
 loosely-knotted bow, having two loops and two hemstitched ends. The latter point toward the back, the loops stretch out in winglike stiffness quite
 to the edge of the wide brim. These
 bows are placed directly in front of
 the crown and require two full yards
 of taffeta for the making. Such wide brimmed hats are either in finely and solldly braided straw or chip;
 but to give them a touch that shall give basis for their always high price the brims are varied by the introduc- ton of four-inch bands of cloth, of ldllSIdSi Ol 5tllCIlSu Sllh gauge OF OL Ishirred net. These bands are set in the brim. from which the straw has been cut out, between the edge and
 the crown. These are practically the only hats that show a departure from the bell forms. There are varied ways of trimming these wide-sided hats; for example big bows of full-wldth taffe- tas of faille ribbon from 10 to 20 inch es wide, or of velvet ribbon from five to nine inches wide, are raised at the back of the hat to the height of seven
 or nine inches and even more! Con lservative women, however, who, fortu- lnately, we always have with us to keep our fancies balanced, counteract this eccentric tendency, even though they
 adopt the great back bow, by arrang-
 ing a knot of ribbon or a cluster of flowers at the front, for a stiff shirred and full trimming all around the
 crown. An example of this sort is a
 hat Of black net over silk-covered wire frame. The net is shirred to the
 brim both under and over it, and the
 edge bound with black satin.-Har- per's Bazar,
