The popular sport of count the
candidates" still continues and it is in
teresting to hear the stories that are
in circulation. According to some of
them a number of the leading Demo-
Gratis of the city are candidates for all
of the important Offices A local Demo-
cratic politician informed the Journal
this week that he had reliable inform
alton that the ticket would be made up
as follows: Treasurer and collector,
Arthur Lloyd Holmes; city clerk. Ar
thur L. Holmes; city marshal, Arthur
Holmes; overseer of the poor, A. l..
Holmes; street commissioner, Pat
Holmes Another man who, according
to the dope" artists is a candidate for
a number of jobs is Timothy ODon-
nell, who is slated for city marshal,
street commissioner, superintendent OF
burials and janitor of City hall, de-
pending on who is telling the story.
There Is also a persistent story that
the office of city marshal was promised
to Gedeon Pitcher if he would pull out
of the race for mayor and that he is
sitting tight and waiting to see if the
leaders will redeem their promise. An
other case of "watchful waiting" Fred
Finnemore of Ward One is also report
ed to be a candidate and it is said that
Alderman elect Collins had the support
of the Finnemore faction in Ward One
on the understanding that if he was

elected he was to see that Fred was
made city marshal. Carl Jones seems to
have a clear field for the city clerks
job and Mark Bartlett is also said to
be slated for city solicitor without any
great amount of fight on his part.
James Coyne whom popular rumor has
placed as a leading candidate for city
marshal is now said to be in line for
the job of city treasurer and collector.
He has a large number of friends at
the North End and would undoubted-
ly prove a popular man in the place.
Several candidates are out for the Of
flee of city auditor. among them being
Emery Hegarty and William Toulouse,
although the so-called wise ones say
that the job will be handed to l.. Eu-
gene Thayer if he wants it. 1t is also
reported that there will be an attempt
made to put a well-known Democrat
in the office of city engineer and city
electrician, the place now held by E.
w. Crawford. Just why an attempt
should be made to replace Mr.. Craw-
ford, who has served satisfactorily I'M
der two administrations does not ap-
pear unless it is felt that some de
serving Democrat" should have the job
regardless of the interests of the city.
No candidate has been mentioned for
the office of city physician although
doubtless there will be one or two at
ter it before the caucus.

800 SEE FAST
BOUTS THURSDAY
AT THE CITY HALL

A crowd of about 800 fight-followers
witnessed the Big Scrap at City hall
on Thursday evening, when Big Bill
McKinnon and Leo Annison exchanged
wallops in about the fastest battle
ever seen at the local club. 1t is sell
dom that promoters are able to match
two men as even as these clever fight
ers, both able to give and take all
kinds Of punishment, and with the
ability to cover up so we'll that little
damage was done to either in the in
fighting. Bill was not able to land
his famous kidney punch on his shifty
colored opponent and Annison proved
to have a terrific wallop of his own,
which nearly waited Bill into dream
land in the last round Of the first six.
Keeping his jaw and stomach protect
ed all the time, the colored boxer
fought a defensive battle in which he
also managed to keep McKinnon
guessing where the next wallop was
coming from but Big Bill forcing the
fighting in his always aggressive style.
The preliminary between Young
Bat Nelson and Kid Poulin lasted five
rounds, Nelson putting up a much bet
ter fight than the last one and wor-
rying his opponent all the way, but
tap on the chin downed him in the
fifth round and Poulin was again the
winner. Spin Mcclure was matched
with Dummy" Lovejoy but evidently
the Dummy was thinking Of something
outside the ring, anyway he did not
last quite round, stiff hook to the
stomach doubling him up, and he de-
clined vociferously (for a dummy to
continue. Danny Lorraine. the Au-
gusta whirlwind. was matched with a
cool fighter from Waterville, sailing
under the name Of Fighting Langley,
and he was some fighter at that stay
ing with Danny very nicely until the
sixth, when he was badly damaged.

WHY IS COFFEE Goop7

Copyright. 1917, by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)
Recently coffee percolators have been
put on the market that are almost en-
tirely of glass. The portion that con-
tains the boiling water and into which
the coffee infusion itself drips from
the mixture of boiling water and pull
verified coffee is entirely glass one
rather naturally supposes on USING
these percolators for the first time that
it is only by a dispensation OF the laws
of nature that the direct flame against
the glass globe does not cause 1t 70
break, for as yet the idea Of glass Tor
cooking utensils is a new one 10 Us.
Needless to say, the kind OF glass used
in such construction is OF a differently
tempered sort from that of when
water tumblcrs and other table glass
ware Is usually made. for such glass
does not Withstand even a little heat
much less the action Of a direct flame
The fact thai coffee made in TINS
sort Of percolator proves one thing
that good coffee is coffee that does not
come into long contact with metal; TOT
even inferior coffee we'll ground anu
used in this percolator produces an IN
fusion Of rare delicacy Of flavor.
OF course most of US shall go on u.s.
ing coffee pots that are not entireV
glass. The ol6-fashioned percolators
are almost entirely metal. and so are
all drip coffee pots. coffee percolatcrs
and just plain old fashioned coffee pos
that one uses on the stove. And We
can make good coffee with such uten-
sils. providing. always. that the conee
does not long remain on the metal anc'
providing also, that the metal IL thor

Coffee made In glass and allowed 70
