Famous cunarders Umbria and Etruria
Offered for Sale.

New York, Aug. 9.-The Cunard Line
officials here have confirmed the ru-
NOR that their steamships Umbria and
Etruria are for sale. Both vessels are
laid up at Birkenhead and there is no
place for them on the companys sched-
ule of sailings.
Ocean travellers will remember both
steamships when they were in their
best form, and their comings and 60
ings were chronicled important news
They are the fastest single screw
steamers afloat. and both distinguished
themselves by taking slices off records.
They held the blue ribbon until the
twin-screw vessel Majestic crossed in

Tcutonic came over In days IS hours
81 minutes. The Umbria first sailed
for this port on August 81, 1884. and
the Etruria in April of the next year.
The march of progress practically
forced the Umbria and the Etruria out
of commission. for they were big coal
burners and expensive ships to run.
They are said to have cost s1,5oo, 300

Ocean Point has always been foremost
among the Boothbay vicinity resorts, to
adopt any new idea. Again it proves
itself to be alive to the possibilities Of
industry as we'll as pleasure. This time
1t is the old occupation of whaling. A
grampus whale was reported by reliable
authorities to have been sighted in Line
kin's Bay. 1t was seen by several, in
GLIDING one popular young man who was
evidently badly scared, when the creature
broke water near his launch, if his story
Of the adventure were taken as a guide.
No sooner had the whale been reported,
than some old experienced fishermen from
the neighborhood of the Point went in
search of It.. At the last accounts they
were still searching.
Friday afternoon the Casino was the
scene of very enjoyable whist, followed
by talk on candy making by Mrs West
who is certainly we'll qualified to give
such talk. Those present declared the
afternoon to have been spent in a most
pleasurable manner. The financial re-
turns were said to be very gratifying for
the labor eXerted by the promotion of the
entertainment.

CHAT AND CHATTER
Gossip and Advice for the World
of Women.


OF Women.
From the Baltimore American
The average girl who works has little
time for travel, so that when her vaca-
ton days arrive she takes her bag and
trots 20 the railroad station. She is often
puzzled as to the methods OF procedure,
her mistakes are legion, and her mex
perience sometimes causes her much EN-
barrassu1ent.
A few suggestions as 70 what TO do and
how to do It may not come amiss there
fore to the girl who Is going on her first
long trip. and who will stay all night on
the train. and who will therefore be
initiated into the mysteries Of sleeping
car etiquette and OF dining car refresh
ment
IL the first place. avoid carrying too
much baggage. Pack most Of your be-
longings into your trunks or suit case
and have II checked to your destination.
Then in small bag put your nightgown
and a thin silk or cotton crepe kip1Ono,
your toothbrush. comb, and other toilet
articles, pencil. paper, and stamps, and
clean huudkerchiefs Carry your ticket
and small bills in your pocketbook, and
put all your larger bills and valuables In
a chamOis bag and hang il around your
neck.
When you enter the train take on your
hat, and the porter win give you a paper
bag 70 put it IN TO protect it from dust.
You need not pay him for this, but should
you demand any little service, such as
posting a letter. you may give him 10
cents, reserving the larger tip until the
end OF the Journey.
II one wishes TO carry a lunch, IL should
consist Of thin. savory sandwiches. Of
fruit and crackers and cheese. It should
be put up dairtily and can be eaten when
the other passengers are at their meals.
When the end Of the journey IS near,
freshen up a bit The porter will come at
the very last moment and brush your
coat and hat and you can then tip him
a quarter Of a dollar being sufficient II
you have not required much extra service.
All these things may be but a repetition
of what you know. But things that seem
simple 70 those OF us who have spent
much Of our time on trains may appear
very complicated 70 the girl who Isl TAX
| ing her flrst Journey or even her second,
and II Is to such girls that I hope this
explanation may come as a help and as
solution of some OF the problems that
may confront them as they turn their
faces toward the promised land Of sum
mer enjoyment
