Returning to Chicago. Mr.. Steward
again entered his fa"Orite against
Tom Lawson's Irish Boy. This time
the Westminster champion came out
second best. After this setback Prince
Albert was benched In many Western
shows and he easily won first prize.
At the Mineola exhibit last June he
also was awarded high hon0rs. During
the next six months Prince Albert put
on weight and became stronger. The
object Of this careful preparation was
the show that closed that night. II
was known that nearly all the cham
pion bulls Of England and this cvun-
try would be entered and Mr. Steward
wautod his prize winner In the very
lest OF shape. The ChicaxOan says
that he was nervous when he saw the
formidable array OF champions that
stood ready to no Judged. But when
It camo time for Prince Albert to be
examined he Felt easier. Mr.. steward
said that hts fav0rite simply turned
up his atstocratic nose to Capt
Beamish. the judge. and 1t was oil

plans have been talked of for the

would not surprise me if the Second
Maine should first get an order to

for a trip to Mexico. We have given
instructions to company captains Tor

The entire company, with the eX-
ception of a lieutenant and squad or
privates, would be sent to Augusta,
where equipment would be obtained
and service drills practiced. The lieu
tenant and squad would remain at
the home location for the purpose OF
recruiting the company up to wartime
strength. The peace strength OF the
company of the Second Regiment is
now about SIS men; under war condi-
lions. I expect that President WI

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.
Col. Hume of Second Maine Infantry
Thinks Intervention Inevitable.

Augusta men associated with the
National Guard of the State of Maine
will be interested in the following
statement made few days ago by
Col Frank NJ. Hume of Houlton, COM
manding the Second Regiment of In
fantry, to the Bangor Commercial, in
which he states that he does not see
how intervention in Mexico can be
avoided-a feeling that has long been
shared by other military men of
Maine--and that instructions have
been issued to company officers for
action in case President Wilson gives
the order calling for the militia.
Instead of improving, conditions in
Mexico seem to me to be going from
bad to worse" said Col Hume, land
in the interests of humanity, can neg
lect for very long the reign of an
archy that now exists there. American
interests are great in Mexico and
should be protected. We did not have
a great deal Of trouble with that coun-
try when he last sailed down there In
1847, and l don't think 1t would be
much more of a task to coerce the
Mexicans now.

Crowded with Lumberjacks
Bangor tOMaintain Bread Line

Bangor, Me-, April Bangor has
an army of unemployed on it's
hands, with prospects of having to
maintain a bread line for the next
week or so.
More than 400 lumberjacks are
stranded here by the weather condi-
lions, which closed the season in the
woods earlier than usual and is maxi
ing spring work late. AS a general
thing, local employment offices have
difficulty in filling demands for woods
men, rivermen and contractors crews,
but for once there is a great surplus
supply.
There are perhaps 1900 lumberjacks
in the city, but the most of these
either have some money or credit with
the woodmens' hotels or boarding
houses The troublesome residue rep
resents those who have spent all the
money they earned, or had none when
they came here, but. according to the
police, there are many common tramps
mixed in.

WAR REMINIScENCE
An Amusing Incident Which Some of
Augustus Citizens May Remember.

Augusta people who remember the
Aroostook War, which though bloodless
was productive of no small amount of
excitement at the time, will be interested
In the following story relative to one Of
the incidnts of the war" and which was
printed last week by the Bangor Daily
News:
The following triplet taken from the
legislative record of 1889 shows how some
of the more numerous legislators felt
about the Aroostook War which was
then under consideration 1t may be re-
called that some cows and oxen and men
from Her Majestys dominion had tres
passed upon territory claimed to be with
in the boundaries of Maine Hastings
Strickland was then sheriff of Penobscot
county: Rufus Mcintyre was the States
land agent. The Legislature authorized
the sheriff and the land agent to raise
posse OF $50 men and go up there and
clean out the invaders. George S. Sewall
representative from Old Town. saw the
funny side of it, and during the debate
in the Legislature submitted the face
tious triplet first mentioned: 1t reads
thus:
run, Strickland, run,
Fire, Slower, fire,
Were the last words of Mcintyre.
Sheriff Strickland had delegated his au-
thority to Capt Slower Rines, and by
relays of horses had reached Augusta in
doube-quek time. As a result of that
trip and the sheriff's hot air story an or
der was issued the following day for
detachment of 1898 officers and men
from the various militia organizations in
the State Before any real fighting was
done. Daniel Webster and Lord Ashbur-
ton got together and patched UP the
whole controversy But his settlement
didn't exactly satisfy the people of Maine
and the following from newspaper pub
lished in Boston in 1912 shows how the
other state poked fun at our over-sensi
tive State authorities:
Resolved, That Mr.. Secretary Web
ster is no great thing as a statesman,
and that during his continuance in office
there is no hope of a, war advantageous
TO Maine and other border states"
One historian of good repute says there
were many humorous incidents when the
order for the draft was issued Some of
the drafted men were suddenly taken
ill and physician summoned. while 9TH
ers found 1t necessary to make hasty
visits to friends in other states" All of
which shows that the acts of the county
and State public sentiment was not be-
hind authorities.

WILDER TROLLEY WHEEL
COMPANY IS FORMED

Friends of Julian Wilder have taken
interest enough in his recent invention
OF a trolley for electric roads, to in
duce him to put the affair on a bus
mess basis. Some so of Augustus
prominent and successful business
men have subscribed for stock and a
corporation has been formed under
the title of the Wilder Trolley Co.,
for the purpose of developing the troll
ley along commercial lines.
The invention came into some prom
inence last year when a model was
tried out on car No. 10, running from
Togus to Gardiner, in charge of Con-
ductor A E. Gardiner and Motorman
Richards. The car did a mileage of
lie miles daily on a 17-hour run In
spite of the fact that the Togus line
is one of the oldest, with old-fashioned
rigging and that the entire run OF
L. miles gives a trolley all kinds of
variations including speed, grades,
curves, overhead bridges, wire out of
alignment, trolley switches and ground
switches innumerable, the new trolley
had the distinction of never leaving
the wire. This trolley was a crude
model and incomplete in detail, but
YVES the aim of the invention. 1t is
now proposed to develop the model
suitable for transportation use and
from actual tests, eliminate the
faulty details until a satisfactory de-
gree OF perfection is obtained.
Few people realize the comparative
ly short life of trolley wheel. With
a full mileage daily on a regular days
run, a wheel lasts from 10 days to
two weeks, necessitating the renew
al cost and labor, which, however, is
not the only item. Guy wires snapped
off, mean a holdup of traffic and men
for repairs. When a trolley comes off
and bends or snaps the rod or
smashes the car roof. more expense
is evolved, also traffic is stopped and
time tables grow irregular. Trolley
wheels are worn on the sides or
through the center, due to the drag
on the overhead wire, and this means
consequent wear on that wire, which
to any railroad is a serious matter,
meaning replacement, etc. The Wilder
trolley is made with a floating axle,
which allows the wheel to meet all
turns and reflections of the wire. SO
that q rolling contact is the result.
The corporation is capitalized at $780,
600, fully paid in and was put through
in the Office of Andrews & Nelson of
this city The officers are: President
and general manager, Julian Wilder:
treasurer, F. B. Purinton: secretary,
John r. Nelson. Applications for pat
ent have been taken out for the Unit
ed States and Canada.
