Addressed byHon. EN-. Lawrence
And EX=SeC. James r. Garfield

The Third Party held it's chief rally
of the campaign in the Capital City, at
City hall. Monday evening, the speak
ere being the party's candidate for
Congress, Hon. Edward NJ. Lawrence
Of Iubec, and Hon. James r. Garfield,
fnrmer secretary of commerce in the
Roosevelt cabinet. of Ohio.
Previous to and at the close of the
meeting, excellent music was given by
Dennis Band, which gave also a selec-
ton between the speeches. Earlier IN
the evening, it played on Water street,
before crossing the bridge.
It was not a large gathering that
sprinkled the floor of the hall and gal
leries with men, women and children.
Excluding the musicians from the
count at 500 the number totalied 147,
which was soon augmented by the ap-
pearance on the flag and bunting
frightened platform of seven men. In
addition to the presiding officer, Mr..
Mooney of this city, and the speakers
upon the stage were Judge E. NJ.
Thompson and Hon. Chas. A, Milliken
of this city; L. r. Anderson Of Halo
we'll; and Win. S. Bradley of East Vas
salboro.
The presiding officer requested the
scattered audience to take seats in d
body near the platform, which was
partially accomplished, whereupon Mr..
Garfield, neatly attired in a stone gray
suit, was gracefully introduced. He
was given a round of applause and
spoke for three-quarters of an hour III

didacy of the candidate from Lubec.
Mr. Garfield. an amiable. pleasant
appearing, well-spoken man Of rather
.;o1a ieeks, claimed that, as usual, Re-
publican papers in this campaign were
irving to make people believe that Pro-
g~essives are a one-man party in a
rasdirected effort. Statements of Re-
publican and Democratic papers re-
gardng the Third Party are not cor
rect. The party, founded by 4,Wo,oeo
voters, is not a fragment but fea
party, he said The split came because
the Republican party was dominated
hy bosses of machines and personal III
t,rests. The Democratic party was
equally dominated by such elements
he claimed Because of its alleged cor
ruptioa the Republican party was de-
stroysd. It's spark of life has departed

did not believe Maine farmers and
fishermen would vote for Democrat
and ratify the Wilson law that cuts
their threats.
Mr. Peters, Republican candidate,
was criticised for unprogressive meas
ures he had voted for, according to
the Speaker, who mentioned: OPPOSE
ton to primary law; vote to refer
worSmans compensation law and
public utilities to next Legislature;
and a vote over Governors veto for
a private fish and game law. Mr.
Peters had also voted against wom-
ans suffrage, Mr.. Lawrence said.
The Speaker Mr.. Lawrence, told the
story of trained flea that was being
exhibited at a party. The flea hoped
on a fair girls shoulder and became
lost. Search was made and a flea re-
stored to the exhibitor, but the new
flea would not perform any tricks

An Augusta hen fancier, who some
time ago invented a device to prevent
ROSTERS from growing during the
night time, has now discovered that
the flavor of eggs is governed to a
great extent by what the poultry feeds
on. A short time ago the gentleman
moved his family to Cobbosseecontee,
and having some thorough bred Orp-
ingtons which he did not care to leave
in town alone, he took them with him,
and allowed them the run of the land
around the cottage. The hens seemed
contented, so the man says. and every
thing wen. well until within q few days
ago, when the members of the family
detected g queer taste in the eggs. The
feed given them was the same which
they had been dieted on at home, and
it was not until Sunday that the owner
of the flock discovered the cause of the
taste. He says that he had noticed that
the hens stayed down on the shore of
the lake BEND the cottage great deal,
50 after letting them out. Sunday morn
ing, he went round the corner of the
cottage to see what had become of
them, and there was every hen in the
flock. the old rooster included, stand
ing almost up to their bodies in the
water. and gobbling down small fish to
beat the band. He has now built n hen
yard near the cottage. and says that he
hopes in the course of time to get the
eggs back to their natural flavor.

BODIES OF BOYS
 SWEPT OVER RAPIDS
 NOT YET RECOVERED

Niagara Falls, ". r., June 2s.- Thus far all efforts to recover the bodies of Hubert Moore. years old, and Donald Roscoe. 12 years old, the death when a small boat in which they were placed was carried through the whirlpool rapids, Sunday after noon, have proved unavailing. The boat. that carried the boys, ended it's journey in the whirlpool and was used, today, by ventureson1e men in searching the dotsam in the pool. Hun dreds of sfghtseers saw the trag- edy and, helpless to aid, saw the boys clasp hands in farewell just as they wave and disappeared Little hope is entertained that the bodies will be recovered.
