youngest player was six years old
and the ability with which each num-

Manager OF Atlantlc-Pacilic Tea Co.

V. Z. Clark has recently become
the manager of the Skowhegan store
of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Company. This branch is one of
2000 such establishments which this
concern is operating throughout the
various states of the Union. This
great selling organization disposes of
an enormous volume daily and it may
be we'll understood that the lowest
prices ever quoted are at the dispos-
al of their purchasing agents in all
markets. The natural result is an
ability to offer their customers IN
usually low retail prices. 1t is a
mistaken notion that this concern
specialzes only in teas and coffees
for their store is really an up-to-date
grocery and every line which natur-
ally has a place in such an establish
ment may be called their specially.
The present Skowhegan manager.
though comparatively young man,
has had 10 years experience in retail
merchandising. four of which have
been with the Direct Importing Com
pany. He has developed the ability
to meet the requirements of the At
lantic-Pacifc concern which are very
eXacting. His qualifications, now at
the disposal of Somerset County
grocery buyers, are such as cannot
fail to please.

the Michigan Railway company's $1,000
purse raced on the three heat system
and for trotters which never won more
than $1,000 nor had a race record faster
than 2:l4A. The winner of the race
was the horse which the final summary
showed had won the most money. and
when the bookkeeping was completed it
was found the honor had fallen TO Lind
sey, driven by Lon Mcdonald, with 5000
to his credit. Brisca was second with
$3.50 and Grand Chimes third with $3.50.
The best time for the race was 2:0sL.

HALF OF TAXES IN.
Less Than Five Days Remain Till More
Costs are Added.

With less than five days to elapse in
which assessments for 1916 may be met
at the Office of the city treasurer, less
than one-half of the tax budget has been
paid, although attaches at city hall are
agreed that those 10 whom the privilege
of paying is extended have ben no more
remiss than in former years in settling
their annual accounts. Indeed, if any
of paying is extended have been no more
rapidly than in the average year, albeit
the treasurer and his assistants have
not been over busy in making out re-
ceipts. The treasurer's Office has been
open every evening this week and the
same rule will obtain up TO and includ-
ing Thursday evening, Aug. 10.
1t is noted that more than one-half of
the taxes usually come in during the last
two or three days when payments may
be made without giving the constable
the bonus that is his by rights after the
time limit expires. This year with a
grand list of 81 and rate of $40,
around Sl50,000 is to be collected Most
of those who have heavy property taxes
to pay usually report about the first of
the month, the poll taxpayers making
much of the business in the last five |
days.

New York. Aug. 5.-Strikes were in ef.
feet to-day on virtually every surface
car line in the boroughs of Manhattan,
Queens and Bronx, involving 5000 con-
ductors and motormen and affecting
100000 persons who daily use these
lines. Only few cars, guarded BY po-
licemen, moved The elevated and sub
way lines, which We're not affected by
the strike, Were thronged by persons who
were unable 10 use the surface lines.
The threat was made that the strike
would eventually be extended TO those
systems.
Preparations were made by the large
financial and business houses to convey
their employees from their homes 10 the
offices in automobiles. Many occupied
rooms for the night near the subway or
elevated lines in order 10 reach their
work on time.
The street railway lines involved in
clude the New York Railways company,
the Second avenue line, the Third avenue
line and two lines in the Bronx.
Some minor disorders attended tn, dec

were made of strikers who attempted to
interfere with the operation of cars
At 10 o'clock this morning officials of
the New York Railways company said
the service on all their lines was almost
normal. This was apparent, for on only
a few lines was there any delay in op.
Grating the cars. Many workers on their
way downtown were unaware that a |

There were not more than a score of
people in the court room when Williams

liams arise and without betraying any
sign of emotion but in low voice as
serted his innocence of the charge. That
was all. Sentence was then pronounced.
Exceptions noted at the time of the trial
may mean that the case will be taken to

jointly indicted for murder with Will
liams, that she be admitted to bail pend
ing her trial in the local county court
