Kelth's Boston Theatre.

The stream of summer visitors to
Boston has already begun, and there
is no better evidence of 1t to be
found than at Keiths theatre. This
beautiful playhouse, famous the world
over, is a Mecca for tourists, and of
the $4,000 educators who came to
Boston, it Is safe to say that the
majority of them visited Keith's some
time during their stay. Although it
Is a good many years since Mr.. Keith
surprised everybody by building a
marble engine room and putting car
pets even in the boiler room where
the coal is handled, no other person
has been able to duplicate this feat
of enterprise, apparently, and 1t still
causes comment.

Wild Cats Appear Numerous In One
Part OF Washington County.

1t is very early to begin to print
wild animal stories to tempt the peo-
pie from the big cities down into the
big woods later on; but they have
started in well. We have had several
bear, moose and deer yarns, and now
here Is q wild cat story:
H. r. Taylor while driving on the
old county road to Jonesboro met a
couple of wild cats near where the
Waterhouse line crosses the road. The
animals were apparently an old one
and a cub about two-thirds grown.
When within twenty yards of the
horse the two cats leaped into the
woods on the north side of the road
and disappeared.-Ma cor

Portland is Growing

From what 1t is quite confident is
a reliable source, the Portland Press
learned last week that the popula-
tion of Portland as shown by the
census taken last spring Is 5S,4S5.
Nothing official has been given out by
the bureau at Washington, but there
is reason to believe that the foregoing
Is correct. The population ten years
ago was SOFAS and in 1890 1t was
36,425, but the great increase of that
decade Is accounted for In consider
cradle part by the annexation of Deer
ing, 30 If the figures quoted above
are correct the percentage of increase
is probably greater than at any time
in the history of the city.

New Roundhouse at Wateryille.

The contract to build the new Maine
Central roundhouse in Waterville has
been let to the Horace Purington COM

will soon be started and will be COM
pleted by December. The work will
call for the use of 100000 brick, 1000
yards of stone and 1000 yards of con-
crete. There will be 35 stalls for en-
gnes, each 80 feet deep and the
length will be 500 feet. The diam
eter of the transfer table pit will be
80 feet. The largest engines used
can be easily accommodated. The
new roundhouse will cost $4,000.

Perhaps q New Manufacturing Plant
for Bath.

Some time ago a representative of
big manufacturing concern in an
other state visited several Maine cities
looking for site for plant. Among
other places visited, the man spent
some time in Bath and was apparent
ly well pleased with that city and
that there is fair prospect that they
may locate in that city. Two mem
bers of the concern were recently in
Bath to look over locations and see
what arrangements can be made to-
ward establishing a plant in the Ship
ping City. The building formerly oc-
cupied by the Shoe Polish Co. on
Washington and Vine streets near the
NJ. G. r. R. is offered by the owners
to manufacturing concerns desiring to
locate in Bath at a very low rental.
This is a new structure and has spur
tracks leading directly into the build
ng for the loading and unloading of
cars.

Addition for Bath Custom House.

It Is expected that the United States
Government will begin work shortly
on the addition to the present Custom
House building in Bath and the i'm
provements upon the grounds around
the building. An appropriation of
$35 900 was made over a year ago, but
as this was not sufficient for the in
tended work, nothing was done until
more could be secured. By the pro-
visions of the Omnibus Public Build
,ngs Bill passed by Congress an ap-
of $4,000 was granted,
which makes the desired amount
needed for the addition and altera-
tions.

He Wears the Taft Smile.

Landlord Emerson of the Augusta
House has the nearest approach to
the Taft smile of any man in Maine.
When the army of Republican dele
gates invaded the Augusta House and
most any landlord would have been
excused for becoming muddled, Land
lord Emerson stood behind his office
iesk breastworks directing his army
of employees and smiling on the in
cushing guests, cool as Napoleon
Bonaparte at Wagram and that night
md Convention day passed without a
kick. MIR. Emerson's smile became
even more expansive as he counted
up the cash after the delegates had

who hazards the interruption invites
L sojourn of leisure in federal 'pris-

however, no ruling having been made

teen minutes recently by a big bull
moose which stood defiantly in the
road, and refused to bulge until 1t

,urred in Perham, near the home Of

est eyed the advancing army for a

disdain, jumped fence and quietly
and leisurely made its way into the

To Raise Wreck Of u. 8. s. Maine

To Raise Wreck OF u. 8. s. Maine.
OF course the army engineers will
do their best to carry out the wishes
Of Congress twice expressed. that an
effort shall be made to raise the
wreck of the battleship Maine from
the bottom of Havana harbor where
it lies embedded In 81 feet of slime.
But the engineers are frank to con
fess that they do not know the extent
of the task before them and they be-
lieve that the 100000 appropriation
will not be sufficient. So their pres
ent idea Is to use as much of the
money as may be necessary to make
a thorough examination of the wreck
and the surrounding bottom of the
harbor.
The only known method of raising
a ship in the condition of the Maine
is to surround her with Golfer dam
from which the water can be pumped
allowing the hulk to be drained and
the holes in the bottom closed.
Engineering history falls to disclose
a Golfer dam OF the mammoth proper
tions that would be required to en-
close the Maine, for 1t must be as
long as a city block and as high as a
five or six story building from the
bottom of the timbers to the top. It's
cost would probably exceed the total
appropriation. A thoroughly prelim-
mary investigation will cost a good
deal of money and occupy much time.
In fact it Is reasonably certain that
Congress will again be In session be-
fore the results are known, and the
engineers can tell just how much
money 1t will cost to raise the ship.
Then II Congress should decide to

Splendor Viewed In the Morse Home

Curious and also practical persons
made the tour of the sumptuously
furnished home of Charles w. Morse
at No. 72S Fifth avenue, New York,
the fine apartments of which are to
be sold at public auction because he
is serving a 15-years' term at the fed
eral prison at Atlanta for violation of
the national banking laws.
Visitors walked over rugs which
cost thousands of dollars and sat in
chairs of rosewood. Several took
their places at the table in the din
ing room and viewed the massive sill
YER there displayed. Nearly every
room contained the Morse coat OF
arms, generally embroidered on the
curtains, which read:-"In Deo, non
armis, fido."
On the first of the five stories of
the house are foyer hall, an elabor-
ately decorated billiard room, with
Flemish tapestries and embossed
leather furniture, and reception
room in white and gold enamel. The
finest apartment Is the grand salon on
the second floor, in the style of Louis
XIV. Its walls were panelled and COW
cred with rare rose brocades under
the supervision of a French expert
to whom the commission had been
given by Mrs. Morse.
The house was arranged by Mrs.
Morse, and in her name its contents
are advertised for sale through Au-
gustus W. Clark, auctioneer. She in
