Club Pleased with Patronage Received and
VIII Probably Hold Big Meet Here
Next July.
Two days of ideal weather and a
program of interesting sport each
day brought large crowds to the race
meeting given by the Riverside Driving
Club at the track on Wednesday and
| Thursday of this week. Although the
time for advertising the meeting was
rather limited, yet the committee got
busy and the result of their work show
ed quite plainly in the large attendance
each day.
This is the first meeting of the new
driving club and everybody present
pronounced il grand success. In talk
| ing with a few admirers of a good
| horse we learned the following:
III. G. Knill, of Port Huron, 81 never
witnessed more closely contested horse
races in my life"
DR.. l.. NJ. Ardiel, Avoca, "The races
today are best | ever attended in Yale
and | don't think | have missed meet
| ing for the past fifteen years"
John Windsor, Brown City, IL con-
gratulate the Riverside Driving Club
in the successful meeting this year.
Begin now and advertise a race meet
ing July 4th next, and we will turn in
and assist in making it grand sue
cess" -
Jas. Montague, Caro-, "The races are
the best | attended on half mile track
this year and have been to number
of meetings. With little work and
not much expense you can have as fast
track as can be found in the state"
Chas Franklin, Croswell, II have had
more real enjoyment out of these races
than any of the meets on the big cir
cults"
Jas. Foster, Peck, Don't fail to let
me know when you are to have another
race meeting. | have enjoyed this meet
every minute of my time"
The two matched games of base ball
| furnished considerable amusement and
sport for those interested in the great
American game. Some splendid plays
were made by each team and there was
excitement from beginning to end.
Following is the result of the first
days horse races:-
Starter-V. l.. Spring, of Brown City
Time-keeper-J. +. Staley.
Judges-Fred j. Chamberlain, Ben
Nelson and Will Campbell.

county, who asked for leniency, Clar-
ence l.. Messer, who embeZzled $1,000

mind about a second trial, and pleaded
guilty two weeks ago.

The ExpOsitor is this week called
upon to chronicle the death of one of
Brockway townships oldest pioneers,
one who came here in the early days

self and family home.
On Saturday evening last at 1920 at

of Yale, occurred the death of William
Turnbuil, at the age of II years. Cause
of death, cancer About four wears
ago while playing with a dog, Mr..
Turnbull received a small scratch on
his hand. Nothing was thought of the
matter for over year, when the hand
began to bother him and medical aid
was sought, but nothing could be done
for him, and after three years of in
tense suffering death came as a joyful
relief.
Deceased was native of Scotland.
He came to this country when only
twentyOne years of age, Settling in
Detroit, where he lived for about six
teen years. In the year 1867 he came
to Brockway township, and lived for
short time OH what is now known as
the Shaw farm, and after living there
for couple of years he moved to the
farm on which he died.
The funeral was held from the Bid
dleman school house Tuesday afternoon

SEA CAPTAINS ORGANIZING.

Master Mariners in Coasting Trade Form.
ing an Association for Mutual Aid and
Protection.
An organization has been formed by
the master mariners in the coasting
trade which it is believed will be of
much benefit to the captains. Already
many prominent sea-faring men have
joined or signified their intention of
Joining.
The first meeting was held a few DAYS
ago at Jacksonville, and the name de-
eided upon was the Brotherhood of
American Shipmasters. The object of
the association is to bring the masters
of vessels closer together; to provide
sick benefits and death claims, and to
protect the members, with a view Of
obtaining first-class officers and seamen
for their vessels.
The charter will be kept open until
100 members are enrolled. When the
membership reaches that number the
organization will then be incorporated.

A Good Law.

1t will be the workhouse for the able
bodied men who refuse to support their
wives and families, under the law
passed at the last session of the legis-
lature.
The title of the act is: "An an act to
prevent desertion and nonsupport to
families" 1t provides that any man
who refuses to support his family may
be prosecuted before the municipal
court, and if found guilty may be SEN
fenced to pay fine not exceeding $40
or to six months Imprisonment at hard
labor.
In case fine is imposed the court
has discretion to make it payable in
whole or in part to the wife or minor
children. In case imprisonment is i'm
posed the county commissioners shall
order to be paid from the county treas
ury to the wife or children, so cents
day for each day the man is imprisoned.
The ability of the man to work, his
earning capacity, or the amount of the
stipend he may be compelled to pay
are matters for the courts discretion.

GRANT, THE UNASSUMING.

Grant and Sherman were the only
officers of high rank l ever met who
did not charge the atmosphere about
them with military consequence. While
at City Point l frequently joined my
friends of General Grants staff, Porter,
Babcock, "Billy" Dunn, and others, at
his headquarters. The general, in un-
dress uniform, always neat but not fas-
tidious in appointments, would sit at
the door of his tent, or sometimes on
one of the long settees that faced each
other under the tent-fly, smoke, listen,
and sometimes talk; and not soul of
us from the youngest to the Oldest ever
had thought of rank. Without lower
ing his manner to the level of familiar.
ity, he put every one at his ease by his
natural simplicity. He had none of the
caprices of moods or vanity. Quiet in
his presence and natural in his manner,
gentle in, voice, of absolute purity in
speech, of unaffected, simple dignity,
Grant threw charm over his camp
fire. West Point never graduated a
man who added so little austerity or
pretense to the peak of fame.-General
Morris Schaff, in the April Atlantic.

M. C. BUYS SOMERSET R. R.
Special to Bangor Commercial


AUGUSTA, April 4th. For several
months negotiations have been in prog.
Tess for the purchase by the Maine
Central Railroad Co. of the Somerset
railway. The deal has been consumma.
ted within week.
There are 7O0,O shares of stock FIX.
Gov. Hill of Augusta, who is on trip
to Germany, and Hon. VIM. T. Haines
OF Waterville held $4,000 and these
they have sold and transferred to the
Maine Central. Mr.. Haines has resign
ed as director and will 90 out of the
railroad business entirely. Mr.. Hill
has resigned as president.
The new owners will conduct the
Somerset as separate property from
the Maine Central in a manner similar
TO their management of the Washing.
ton County railway. The Somerset
railway lacks but little of being 100
miles in length and extends from Oak
land to Birch Point on Moosehead lake
a short distance across the lake from
klneo. 1t was opened in 1868 and in
Its early days met with financial diff
cultles. 1t has never paid dividend
This gives the Maine Central an en-
trance into the northern forests, SINH
lar to that OF the Bangor & Aroostook.
Inc last legislature granted charter
for an extension of the Somerset rail
way northerly via Northwest Garry to
the Canadian line, but not to go within
ten miles of the Alegash river and for
a branch westerly from the Northwest
Garry to connection with the st.
FRANCIS Branch of the Quebec Central
in Canada about $50 miles in all. II is
expected that the Maine Central will
proceed to the construction of the char
tered lines. The objects are access to
the inner lumber freights of North
western Maine and the farm produce
freights of the eastern counties of Que
bee.

The Polly Again.

A statement is going the rounds of
the State papers to the effect that there
are a score of little vessels on the New

is entirely untrue, as there are but

which have passed the century mark,

A SANE FOURTH

Let us have a sane Fourth of
July today, sane in all that the
word implies. Let us remember
that today is day Of National
recreation, when thoughts of pa
triotism and love of country
should be uppermost in our
minds, and not senseless thoughts
of deviltry and destructiveness.
The brainless idiot who goes
about the streets during all day
of the Fourth of July soaring
women, little children and horses
by exploding fire crackers or
blank cartridges under their feee
is still in evidence, and we sup
pose, always will be until the
end of time, but he is becoming
less numerous. In many states
a law abolishing the use of
giant crackers and blank cart
ridges on the Fourth goes into
effect next year. 1t would be we'll
if this were to become a national
law, for there is no doubt that
most of the incendiary blazes,
accidents and even loss of life on
Independence day can be traced
to these sources.

EXCELLENT PROSPECTS

According as to the figures as
given out by G. W. H. Davis, one
of the directors of the North Da-
kota Chautauqua association, the
present session will go down in
the annals of history as being
unprecedented in point of attend
ance. Already, by the first part
of the first week, there are 300
families living out on the
grounds. More are pouring in
daily, and after the Fourth, the
treasurer states, the demand for
tents and cottages which has al
ready been received, will swell
the permanent attendance on
the grounds to a large figure. He
accounts for this, as many of the
surrounding towns are offering
counter attractions for our ma
tional holiday, therefore many
habitues of the Chautauqua are
staying at home until after that
date.
The attendance on the grounds
last Saturday, the opening day,
was 1900, that Of Sunday $500,
and Monday 1000. Doubtless
had Sunday afternoon been clear
and sunshiny, many of our citi-
zens would have taken their fam
lilies for an afternoons outing on
the grounds, but the weather con-
ditions resembling rain to a
great extent all afternoon, kept
| many of them from attending.
With the unprecedented list of
| ATTRACTIONS the management have
secured for the present session,
no one should miss being in at
tendance ON the fifteenth annual
Chautauqua. =

FROM REVIEW OF REVIEWS

The currant number of the
"Review of Reviews" has the
following to say regarding the
trial of the officers of the West
ern Federation of Miners, who
are charged with completely in
the murder of Ex-Governor
Steunenburg:
The confession Of Orchard i:
an amazing story of crimes COM
mitted on behalf of the Western
Federation of Miners against
the mine owning employers, and
against the public authorities
where they were regarded as IA
vorable to capital. 1t is not for
us at this stage of the great con-
test befor the judge and jury to
express any opinion upon the
truthfulness of testimony. But
no one will deny the notorious
fact of long-continued turbulence
throughout the mining camps of
the Rocky Mountain states, and
of intense strife carried on in a
high handed spirit on both sides.
The thing to be desired is justice
and fair play. with much free
dom of opportunity for both cap
ital and labor under the guar
anty and protection of laws, ex-
ecutive officers, and judges that
will do their duty fearlessly and
faithfully. 1t is fortunate that
conditions in our western states
are upon the whole gradually
improving. The process is a
painful one, but things are NOV
ing in the right direction. Ev-
cry time some acute phase of
the endless struggle for econo-
mic advantage can be met and
