Capt. James Orne of the schooner
Charleston has the prize quintet of
pigeons on the Maine coast, says the
Portland Press. The pigeons are car
ried on board ship in a coop released
whenever port is reached, and before
the schooner sails they always return
for the night and stay on their home
rooSt. The schooner Charleston was
in port for over a week at Portland
recently and during that time the
pigeons attracted no little attention
from people, who visited Widgery's
wharf The birds would fly from the
vessel go to the sheds. bill and coo
with other pigeons and act just like
ordinary pigeons. But as soon as the
shades of night began to fall the
pigeons always went back to the
schooner. where the coop doors were
always left open for them. The doors
were closed after they walked in. Capt
Orne says the birds have done the
same thing in other ports besides
Portland and have never failed to re-
turn.

The welcome to Roosevelt was shot
through with dramatic expectancy
which long ago found popular express

His welcome brought men prominent
in walks of life from all parts of the
country therefore it was national.
The first zest of public curiosity sat

share Roosevelt will take in an acute
political situation within his own party.
But on that score speculation must rest
unsatisfed. The colonel had positively
declared his intentions by wireless the
night before: 81 shall have nothing
whatever to say in the immediate future
about politics" and he kept his word.
Therefore there was nothing in the
only speech he made that could be con-
strued as applying specifically to this or
that phase of immediate state or
national issues. That he will be impor-
tuned to take hand in the New York
campaign this fall is foregone con-

will not commit himself to any express

himself at first hand with just how the
political land shapes itself.

most heartily and we are glad to see
