WORK OF PAVING
is INTERESTING

The work of the Hassam Paving
crew has been watched by q good
sized sidewalk committee all day and
all the members of it have agreed that
the work which is being done by the
men there is very rugged labor. The
city steam roller was at work during
the day and the picks on the wheels
hardly penetrated the roadway at all.
1t was necessary to ride over them
several times, before the picks would
do anything with the hard surface.
After the roller had been used for a
while with the picks it was hitched
to be a big plow<end in this way the
roadway was broken up SO that the
men with their picks and shovels were
able to get it up. The crew which Mr..
Spaulding, the man in charge, has
been able to secure has been very
small as yet. but he is hiring every
man that comes along and wants a
job and is in hopes to have complete
crew within few days. In spite of
the smallness of the crew and the hard
digging, good progress has been made.
The rock and dirt which is being taken
from the street is being hauled to
Union street and there with little
binder will be used to resuFace that
street, where it is expected that it will
prove valuable as there is not as much
travel there and water bound road
will stand up under reasonable
amount of travel. AT the pit the crush
er ran steadily all day and a good
amount of rock will be ready for the
men when the street has been prepared

WELCOME NEWS OF
THE HOME COMING
OF SECOND MAINE

The news that the boys of Co. II are
soon to start on their way home has
been received with great deal of
pleasure by the people Of the city, who
feel that the local company has done
its full share in the service there and
that if anyone is to come home they
should be given a chance. AS soon as
the first news Of the home coming was
received a movement was started to
give the boys a suitable reception and
to show them that the people OF Wa
terville appreciated their readiness to
serve their country. Just what form
the reception will take is matter that
will be decided later but the people
who have been seen in regard to the
matter are unit in declaring that
something should be done and that the
bigger the affair is made the better.
Already it is planned to have it infor-
NAL so that everyone in the city can
have hand in it and to make It short
so that the boys will have a chance TO
get to their homes and not be bothe'',d
with speechmaking and entertainment.
1t is probable that meeting will be
held soon at which the whole plan will
be talked over and committee elect
ed to have the matter in charge.

Stolen Pocket Book Found

The pocketbook which was stolen
from the home Of Samuel Rosenthal
was found Thursday by Emery w.
Cook, as he was going to his work on
the Maine Central at an early hour.
It was at the corner of Brook and IT,
comic streets and shows the direction
which the robber took after leaving the
Rosenthal place. Mr.. Cook did not
think anything of finding an empty
pocketbook there until he read in the
paper Friday morning of the robbery,
and then he took the pocketbook to the
marshars office, where Mr.. Rosenthal
identified it. 1t is valuable clue to
the officers, as knowing the direction
that the man took comedies with the
other clues that they have and will
help them to locate their man, as they
have pretty strong suspicion as to
whom the fellow is.

The Water American

BENJAMIN Franklin, when a young
man, went TO England and for time
worked in a London printing office;
Il drank only water" SAYS Franklin:
''the other workmen, near fifty in num-
ber, were great drinkers of beer. on
one occasion, l carried up and down
stairs large form of type in each
hand, when others carried but one in
both hands. They wondered to see
that the Water American, as they
called me, was stronger than them
selves who drank strong beer. We
,had an alehouse boy. who always at
tended in the house to supply the
workmen. My companion at the press
drank every day pint before break
fast, a pint at breakfast with his
bread and cheese. a pint between
breakfast and dinner, pint
at dinner, a pint in the afternoon
about o'clock, and another when he
had done his days work. I thought it
a detestable custom; but it was neces-
sary, he supposed. to drink strong beer
that he might be strong to labor
endeavored to convince him that the
bodily strength afforded by beer could
only be in proportion to the grain
or flour of the barley dissolved in the
water of which it was made that there
was more flour in a pennyworth OF
bread; and therefore if he could eat
that with pint of water, it would give
him more strength than a quart Of beer
He drank on, however, and had or 5
shillings to pay out of his wages every
Saturday night for that vile liquor:
an expense ! was free from And thus
these poor devils kept themselves al

Philadelphia Entered by British Army
139 Years AGO.

On September 10, 1177, the news came
to Philadelphia, where the Congress
was in session, that the British had
reached the Swede's ford and might be
in Philadelphia within "a hours. Every
one was in a turmoil. The members of
the Congress, the military officers and
many citizens departed in haste for
Trenton and Bristol The people lived
in the greatest apprehension until
September 26. when the British army
began entering the city. Lord Corn
wallis was in command and the SOL
diers numbered about 5000 1t is re-
ported they were gay and we'll clad.
The British at once began to make
themselves at home, ana the tory fam
lilies gave entertainments, balls and
theatricals for their amusement. The
winter Of 1777-7s was season of gay
ETY. unprecedented probably In the an
mails Of Philadelphia. The bellies could
not resist such attractions, and some of
the Whig ladies partook of these
amusements without giving up their
principles. The y may have had, many
Of them, excellent reasons. With some
it may have been a matter of policy, a
desire to conciliate the enemy and to
protect some prosecuted relative. 9th
ers might have entertained the hope of
conquering the conquerors by power of
their charms. At all events, there was
no lack of fair faces at the great
"mechlanza" gotten up by the British
officers on May is, 177S, as a sort Of
adieu fete.
Scarcity Of Provisions.
The first month or two Of the occupa-
ton was not very agreeable period
The Philadelphians, accustomed to
good living and who always had good
things in abundance, suffered from the
scarcity Of provisions. Then hard mon
ey was exceedingly rare and paper
money was worthless. Indeed, it had
deprecated so much before the arriv-
al of the British that silk sold at
500 yard and tea commanded $50
and $50 a pound.
When the British marched into Phil
adelphia the band played God Save
the King" The officers quartered them
selves in the finest houses in the city.
while the army went into camp below
the town to prevent the armed vessels
from reaching Philadelphia. Among
the most popular Of the British officers
was Sir Walter Howe. Work was be-
gun at once to bring on an engagement
