posture, the trained horse. The Whip,
the star equine performer in the Eng
lish melodrama of that title, was
| found Sunday by Charles E. Jordan in
the vicinity of his home short dis
lance from Higgins Beach. The ami
NAL had apparently been at large
since its sensational escape from the
| Jefferson Theatre in that city on
| April IS, for while the saddle was miss
ing, having probably been pulled from
| the horses back by low-hanging limbs
in the thickly wooded slopes of the
| Cape Shore, the bandageS still chung to
the animals legs and from its enact
ated condition it is apparent that the
| horse has had no shelter and very lit

as of Maine, will have its annual meet
| ing in Portland, Wednesday, May 20,
and this will mean very large num-
| Der of delegates on that day. The
| Grand Lodge meeting will be one of
the largest ever held in the State and
| there will be a good natured but spir-
tied contest for some of the berths in
| the official family. Grand Chancellor
Peterson of Lewiston will preside.
Doubtless something will be said re-
garding the proposed Pythian Home
by Past Grand Chancellor Willis B.
Hall Of Portland who is the prime
mover in the affair.

night and listened to speeches on their
| native State by the Hon. Samuel ].

After about II years service with

| Of the North Star and the former COM
manding officer of the Manhattan, both
of which craft have been for num-
! Der of years on the Portland New
| York run, has left the service of the
company There is every reason to
believe that the parting between the
captain and the corporation was not
of the pleasantest and it is rumored
that the refusal of the captain to af-
| fliate himself with the Masters
Mates and Pilots Association is one
| of the reasons for the unpleaSantness
| That Capt Lewis intends to carry the
matter further is apparent from the
fact that he has retained as his coun-
sci Bion Libby of Boston and Portland
