The Frank A. Robbins Circus.

Travelling shows are generally late
about pulling into South Paris; but this
does not apply to the Frank A. Robbins
circus on its last weeks visit. 1t got in
here about o'clock Tuesday morning,
and lots of people turned out to see the
fascinating process of circus unload
ing from the train.
The street parade also got out even a
little ahead of the advertised hour.
While it had no specially striking feat
ures, it was very good in general.
The same general statement will ap-
ply to the performances, afternoon and
evening. There was some good bare
back riding, fair amount of triple bar
and wire work, some first-class bicycle
riding, and lot of good trapeze work,
with numerous minor acts, and some not
over-exciting clowns. One of the pref
test acts was done by finely trained
horse, a lady rider and two doves, who
figured in some handsome tableaux, the
horse. which was beauty, responding
to the movements of his riders whip
with an intelligence which seemed al
most human.
The spectacular features advertised,
such as the Tribunal of Nations" and
the hippodrome races, must have been
wet down by that Saturday night thunder
shower, so that they were unable to put
them on, as nothing was seen or heard
of them.
The usual systematic promptnesS was
shown in dismantling the show after the
evening performance closed and by
the time the after-show concert was
finished, the last piece of canvas was
about ready to come down. BY the way,
speaking of the concert. It's pretty
hard to establish a record for fake cir

Company DIS Marksmen.

Marksmen of Co. d of the Maine Ma
tional Guard made some good records at
the tournament of the New England
Military Rifle Association at Wakefield,
Mass, last week. though they did not
land so near the head as in some other
years.
In the company team matches OF
Tuesday, Massachusetts, teams were
winners. In the first one Co. D stood
fourth, with a score of SO3 against $40
for the winners. In the second, Co. d
was second, having sos points against
800 by the winning team.
In the regimental team match of We'd
nesday, the Bancroft trophy was won by
the First Maine, the team being largely
made up of Co. d men. In this match
the highest individual score was made by
Serg. VIM. p. Marston of Co. ID, who
made score of 90.
Lieut.. NJ. P. Stiles was second in the
individual match for the Tanner trophy
with score of As out of possible 90
Capt. J. W. Nash was a prize winner in

which we do enjoy to the limit of our
opportunity.

Time warns us that If we would get In
before dark we must be moving. There
are natural objections to going back over
the same route by which we came, and
one Of the party volunteers to act as
guide by trail which once existed
down over the south face of the mount
ain, where we shall strike an old road by
means of which we can make circuit
back to our starting place.
There was once time when this trail,
which ran along an ill-defned cleft in
the rock, was well beaten In berry time,
but it is little travelled now, and our
guide, who has not been down for some
years, after considerable search admits
that he is blind guide and can't find
the trail. But he confidently asserts
that we can 60 down over the face with
out any path, as we have got so far to
the east that it is only short distance
any way.
We get down without danger, but it is
after scramble which gives the party
some real mountain work, and an ex-
perince which they declare they wouldn't
have missed for anything. Arriving at
the foot we find that before starting
down the mountain we had come past
the trail nearly half mile, and are over
on the other side of the divide.
The road into which We come in the
valley was once thoroughfare between
towns, but in the course of operation of
the law of survival of the fittest, it has
practically disappeared from the face of
the earth. For part of the way the
mountain brook trickes along the old
roadway, and it is growing up to weeds
and bushes. Still it brings us out of
the woods on to sandy knoll
Strawberries!
Say, did you ever, when you didn't
have any time to pick or any dishes to
pick into, strike a field that was absolute
iy red with strawberries-a virgin field,
whereupon apparently the eye of man
had not looked during the season. Well,
that's US. We finally compromise by
stealing twenty minutes of our allow
ance of time, and filling everything fill
able that there is in our outfit, to the
amount of several quarts, following this
up by hasty lunch.
An hours travel along little used but
we'll defined roads takes us once more
into the highway, about a mile and
half from our starting point, and the
rest is easy, though the rough work of
the day has reduced our clothing to such
condition that we have little hesitan-
cy about displaying ourselves where
people live.
In the circuit over which we travelled,
from the time of leaving the public road
in the morning until we got back to 1t at
night, we saw frequent indications of the
presence of deer, hedgehogs, partridges,
and other denizens of the woods, but
did not see human being, or anything
to indicate that one had been near our
route in period of weeks or months.
Back to camp in time for late sup
per, tired but happy, and with recollec-
lions of bright day which will remain
with us for many years.

MIR. BaIdwin's Passionate Ended.

On Sunday at the South Paris Congre-
gational church Rev. A. K. Baldwin
preached the last sermon of passionate
which began June 1st, 1905. During the
two wears that Mr.. Baldwin has been
here he has not only been very accept
able to the people of his church as a
pastor, but has been a useful citizen,
winning the esteem and friendship of all
aud the community at large shares in
the regret of his people that circum-
stances make it necessary for him to re-
linquish the pastorate.
Mr.. Baldwin's sermon, while not
strictly a farewell sermon, was from the
words spoken by Paul at the close OF his
passionate of little more than two years
at Ephesus, Acts 0:32:-'And now,
brethren, commend you to God, and to
the word of his grace, which is able to
build you up, and to give you an In
heritancs among all them which are
sanctitied."
A reception to Mr.. Baldwin and family
will be given at the vestry OF the church
Thursday evening at s o'clock. An in
yitation is extended to members of the
church and parish.
IL is we'll understood that the con-
dition of Mr.. Baldwin's health is the
principal reason for giving up his pastor
ate. He will spend the rest of the sum
mer and the early fall resting with his
family with Mrs. Baldwin's parents, Mr..
and Mrs. A. E. Marshall, at West Paris,
with the expectation of entering upon
course of study later.

Base Ball.
NORWAY AUBURN 2.

Norway won a rather one-sided game
from Auburn Saturday afternoon at the
fair grounds. They were advertised to
meet team from Lewiston, but after
the game was arranged Lewiston wanted
more money and so. the Auburn team
came and took their place. Auburn
played very loosely in the first two in
nings and this with the pitchers wild
ness and some good batting by Norway
gave them lead of seven runs. Fogg
steadied down after this and pitched fine
ball, Norway getting only three hits in
the last six innings. He also filled his
position in clean manner, having nine
assists without an error.
Rich pitched we'll for Norway but did
not receive his usual support, the work
of the outfield being far below it's regu-
lar standard. The game was featureless,
there being no particularly fast plays.

what a leading daily recently said OF
the great New England Play, "Quincy

a piece of stage life "that holds the

Quincy Adams Sawyer" is the sort OF
play that appeals to all classes. City
bred folks enjoy the characters and
pictures they have known in other years,
the rural folk are pleased with having
their own people set before them in the
mimic world, and the happy mingling OF
comedy and pathos please both the
devotee of humor as we'll as the lover OF

The Reyes Pulp Pie Plate Co. has
decided to accept an offer OF New
York town and will move the company's
business to that place. The managers
have discovered that coal can be had in
Troy, N. Y, near which city the new
plant is to be located, for one-half the
cost in Fairfield, that freight rates are
much less and that although the pulp
will cost between three and four more
dollars per ton, the saving in other ways
will cut big figure in the expense
account. The New York factory will DC
of brick and 150x50 feet, two stories.
The capacity of the plant now is about
25O, 900 pulp pie plates every "a hours
and the New York plant will be built TO
allow the capacity to be eight times

Suicide of Mrs. George Bonney
TAKES cARBoLIc ACID AT HER HOME
ON ALPINE STREET.

Sunday afternoon, Mrs. George Bon
uey was found nearly dead at her home
on the Paris side of Alpine Street, and
died soon afterward. Mr.. Bonney was
cutting the hay on a farm which he
owns in Greenwood, and Mrs. Bonney
had been alone for several days. Coroner
Albert p. Bassett of Norway was sum-
moned, and he and County Attorney
Barnes went to the house. 1t was learn
ed that Mrs. Bonney had been drinking
heavily for three or four days, and
among the bottles which she left was
one containing carbolic acid, properly
labeled. 1t was SO plainly a case Of
suicide that no inquest or further actor
was considered necessary.
Mrs. Bonney was between S5 and AZ
wears of age. Mr.. and Mrs. Bonney
have no children, but 1t is understood
that Mrs. Bonney has a child by for.
