Another American girl who can boast
Is Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, who, last
January, married the Hungarian Count
Szechenyi. The Szechenyi baby born a
few weeks ago at Budapest is, through
her maternal grandmother, Ance Gwynn
Vanderbilt, descended from Edmund

most in a ridiculous light by listing
them as descendants of "King Pow

our aboriginal tribes, is, of course, alb.
surd. inasmuch as the North American

Forest Fires
ALONG THE GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY IN
PARIS DO CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE.

Along with other sections of the state
Paris has had considerable experience
with forest fires the past week. The
local freight on the Grand Trunk Rail-
way going north last Monday afternoon
started blaze near the Oliver G. Curtis
farm which spread rapidly. An alarm
was soon given and the railroad COM
pany sent crew of section men, while a
number of volunteers went from Paris
Hill and South Paris, and C. B. Cum
Mugs Il Sons, who own a large pine
tract in the near vicinity, sent a number
of men from Norway. The combined
efforts OF the men seemed TO put the
flames well under control Monday night,
but Tuesday morning they broke out
again and spread very rapidly. Another
alarm was sent out and Chief Engineer
Bowker was notified that the fire was
getting beyond control and asked for
help. Mr. Bowker sent crew of fire.
fighters who put in hard days work
aud with the aid of the section crews
finally got the fire out, except few old
stumps which they buried in earth as
well as possible. The hard shower of
Tuesday evening appeared to have fin
ished the flames after some one hundred
and fifty acres had been burned over.
The burned territory includes mostly
land of Arthur U. Tyler on the Curtis
farm and land of Charles K. Penley.
The brisk wind of Thursday morning
famed the smouldering embers OF some
burning stumps and started the fires
again, but prompt work soo1 got it under
control.

The aforementioned "Maine. =,

To every American who enters the
harbor of Havana, whether it be for the
first time or the twentieth, there comes
a moment when a silence takes hold of
him as he stares and stares across the
greasy waters. Ii is when his searching
eyes encounter the distorted mass of
wreckage, with the wheeling birds above

flashes back ten years, to the February
night when the whole United States

Remember the Mainem
That was the cry to which war was
waged. And the watcher at the steam
er's rail finds himself repeating it. Its
sharp, clear syllables beat out the roar
of twin guns in a turret, the measured
tap of the drum, the step Of advancing
men. Then in an instant his thoughts
swing to his own day and hour, and as
he gazes before him the words that, ten
years ago, were nations cali to arms
are now the whispering of waters in the
crannies of a wreck.
Ten years is short time in which to
forget so much; but just so long has the
shattered Maine lain in the harbor of
Havana, forgotten. We were hidden so
eagerly, so insistutely to remember, and
now, her infammatory task accomplish
ed, we have left her to herself-and to
the sixty-three men who are berthed
with her in the clutch of the harbor
mud.
Why has the government not raised
the wreck of the Maine? That is a ques-
ton the watcher asks himself, and the
question is as old as the admonition to
remember. If there be an answer the
government has never made it, and
nothing has yet served to compel an an

excursion of lowest one way first class
fare for the round trip. The dates of
sale authorized are July Is to July q,
inclusive, and tickets will be valid re-
turning from Quebec on or before Mon

tons.
The Grand Trunk Railway System have
issued very nice publication, which in
cludes a complete programme for each
days events, and may be had by applying

agent Grand Trunk Railway, Bonaven-
ture Station, Montreal, or any OF the
com pany's agents. Further particulars
as to rates, ETC., may also be had by ap-
plying to the same persons.
A fact that the public should not over
look is that the Grand Trunk Railway
System are now operating through sleep
ing cars between Portland and Quebec,
by the train leaving Portland at $50 p.
NJ. daily, which arrives at Quebec early
the next morning. On the day train
leaving Portland at sos A. NJ, an excel

JUST BREATHE IN HYoMEI, THE DRY
AIR THAT KILLS THE GERMS.
You can do exactly what G. J. Sterers
did by using Hyomei. Read this:
"After having suffered from chronic
catarrh for years, for which l tried va
rious remedies without success, l be-
came almost discouraged. After read
ing about Hyomei, / decided to make
one more effort to rid myself of the
dread disease, and to my great delight
| found the use Of two bottles of the
Inhalent sufficient to produce complete
cure. l now take pleasure in recon-
mending this remedy to all sufferers
from catarrh."-G. j. Sterers, Crown
City, Ohio.
We don't simply say Hyomei will cure
catsrrh, but we say that F. A. Shurtleff
& Co., the druggists, guarantee it to cure
catarrh, or money back. They do more
they guarantee it to cure asthma,
bronchitis, hay fever, coughs and colds.
A complete Hyomei outfit, including in
haler, costs only sl.00, and extra bottles,
if you afterwards need one, will cost but
80 cents. Hyomei is pleasant dry air
treatment. You just breathe it in, and
as it passes over the inflamed membrane,
it kills the germs of catarrh, and allsys

Base BAH.
WEST PARIS 6; SOUTH PARIS 5.

In q very interesting, but rather loose
ly played game, South Paris went down
in defeat before the West Paris team in
q fine ten-inning contest at the High
School grounds Saturday afternoon. The
game was q hard one for South Paris to
lose, "a they secured good lead in the
early part Of the contest, and West Paris
was never in the lead until they scored
what proved to be the winning run in
the tenth inning.
The opposing pitchers were Richard
son for West Paris and Rich for South
Paris, and there was little difference 10
the work of the two. Richardson had
one bad inning in which he allowed
South Paris four hits and hit one batter;
this, combined with two errors, gave
South Paris their five runs. After this
inning he was very effective and IN the
fourth he retired three South Paris bat
tiers in succession on strikes.
Rich, for South Paris, pitched well
enough to win, but once again his
support failed him at the critical time.
He was hit somewhat harder than Rich
ardson, all but two of West Paris hits
being for extra bases, but he was strong
at critical times and pitched the best ball
in the last three innings of the game,
and there is little doubt but with good
support he could have won his game.
South Paris, with a lead of five runs
at the end of the second inning, did not
feel that they had won the game, for
they knew we'll that their opponents
would fight until the last man was out,
and such was the case, West Paris grad
ually cutting down their lead until they
tied the score in the seventh inning, and
then came a great battle to see who
would win out. A double play spoiled
an excellent opening for West Paris in
the eighth. Neither side was danger
GUS in the ninth, but in the tenth South
Paris punched three errors after two
men were ont and allowed West Paris
to score the winning run. The best they
could do in their half was to get one
runner to first. The play OF the two
teams was very even throughout; but
there was no special feature plays. There
was enough batting to keep all interest
ed, the South Paris batters giving the
West Paris outfield more than the usual
amount of work.
Following is the score:
