Funeral Of James keIley..Death Of
Mrs. Granville Moore.

Fire, early Monday morning, which
originated in the stable over the
horses, destroyed the residence of
George Whittimore at South Gardi-
ner, causing a loss of about $500,
partially covered by insurance. The
blaze was discovered about 1.30
O'Clock and as the stable was locked
it is not known what started the fire.
The residence is near Charles Law
rences and as it took some time to
get the engine there and get water
onto the building, it was seen that 1T
was useless TO fight the fire, SO that
all that could be done was to keep
the blaze down as well as possible.
Some of the furniture was saved, also

Not long ago I had the pleasure of
meeting a man who had been travelling
for many years as the ships doctor on
one of the coastwise steamers. 1t SEEM
ed to me that in the double capacity Of
doctor and traveller he must have met
many unusual people So one day ask
ed him to tell me about some of them.
Well, Miss Cameron he said, there
was a party Of four who sat at my table
two trips ago that beat anything I ever
struck Now maybe you won't believe
this, but sat there with them for fifteen
meals, and in all that time I never heard
one of those people say a good word
about anybody. They raked everybody
on the boat fore and aft, made fun of
them, talked scandal about them and
ran them down generally. They had a
bad word for every officer and every
steward on the ship. and what they said
about each other when any Of them was
rash enough to leave the table first, was
a caution

thought of the ships doctor.
