This season the housewives and lady occu pants of cottages at Peaks have given special attention to flower gardening and cultivating the soil. The efforts of some of the faithful ones have brought remunerative returns by a large yield of peas, beans, corn and cucum bers.

Ricker’s cottages on the hill above Jones’s landing The price of cottage lots and land for ren tal has recently been advanced from $13 to $18 per annum.

OBITUARY. Henry Towle died yesterday afternoon at the age of 76. ■Mr. Towle was in many respects a remark able man. He was all his life a laboring man, a hard worker, yet by dint of strong ability he made for himself a career of marked usefulness. One of the old guard of anti-slavery men, Mr. Towle lived to see nearly all of his old leaders, with the exception of Rev. Parker Pillsbury, pass away. He believed in freedom, and was one of the first men in Maine to accept the message Garrison bore. He was a man of peace and faithful to the central idea of Garrison’s creed. Mr. Towle was a working anti-slavery man, one of those who knew all about the ''underground railroad’’ that connected the South and sla very with the North and liberty. Every temperance man in Maine knew Mr. Towle. He was one of the first to stand out as a champion of total abstinence from strong drink. Long before the Washingtonian movement of 1840 he was on the “iron clad” platform. With his life-long friend, the late Hon. John T. Walton, he began work in the temperance field before there was an organ ized temperance movement. He went into the great movement of 1840 with all the vigor and fire of youth. He said In a public address delivered a year ago tha* he felt “you must do something,” and “Hen ry Towle, the shoemaker,” as they called him, began then and there his public labors. He spoke with John T. Walton and others wherever an audience could be gathered, and he was one of the first men to come to the support of Neal Dow, when he proposed the prohibitory law. Mr. Towle was not the man to hold back from telling what he believed to be the truth and his indignation at the course of the liquor sellers sometimes called out bitter words from the man who was of so gentle a nature. He hated the sin but was sure to forgive the sinner. Mr. Towle was the oldest member of the order of the Sons of Temper ance. He was also a prominent Good Tem plar, and a frequent speaker at the meetings of both organizations. He was one of the first of the old line tem perance men of the state to encourage the late J. K. Osgood to go forward with the Re form Club movement, and his last public ad dress to a Reform Club was made last year when he was one of the speakers at the last public meeting over which the late W. H. Phillips presided. Mr. Towle was a spiritualist, and as such was very widely known. Always a strong and interesting speaker, his addresses before spiritualist societies were always Impressive and often pathetic. Mr. Towle was a good man, liberal beyond his means, anxious to do what he could for humanity, never trying to secure anything for himself, but simply trying to "serve God by helping others,” as he once said, he lived out Ills days and died full of years, and re taining to the last the respect of all who knew him. RAILROAD MATTERS. KNOX AND LINCOLN. Attorney General Littlefield of Rockland, Joseph Moore of Tbomaston and C. W. Lar rabee of Bath, have been notified by Hon. William L. Putnam who is acting for the Wade syndicate that he will meet them agreeable to their proposition in Bath on Monday for the purpose of arranging more completely the transfers of the Knox & Lin coln railroad.

Yesterday afternoon a party of the Indians attached to the Forepaugb Wild West show attended the Second Parish church. Dressed in their go-to-meeting blankets and wearing their Sunday paint, the Indians as they rode down town on their bronchos with the squaws and pappooses in the coach which once carried travellers through Western wilds, attracted a great deal ol attention. They had.some big chiefs with them, notably Black Bear, Sitting Bull’s lieutenant at the Custer massacre, Long Tooth, Grey Eagle and Short Horn. Their demeanor in church was all that could be desired. The Indians attend church every Sunday In the place where the show may happen to be stopping. Freight Train Wrecked. Freight train No. 4 shortly alter 10 o’clock Friday night was wrecked about hall a mile west of Kennebunk station. Three cars were badly smashed ud and others slightly damaged. The wrecking train was sum moned from Portland and after working a few hours cleared the wreck. The morning trains from Boston were delayed about three hours by the accident. Col. Osgood Promises Great Things. The three-year-old wonder, Col. Osgood, by Wilkes, recently shipped by Nelson to Franklin Park, Saugus, is regarded as the coming horse. John Haines, the trainer, says he threatens to break the record made at that age, 2.26J. Report says he ,w„'‘ be backed against any three-year-old owned in New England. Made Fast Tlmo. 'lhe through train over the western di ulsion of the Boston & Maine made remark able time on its trip west Thursday night. It wa? late when it left Portland, but it made up the loss before it reached Its destination, The time made between Portland and Bos ton was three hours and five minutes. ACLITTERINC PACEANT. Dazzl ng Parade of the “Wild West” and 4-Paw Shows To-Day. The census enumerators would have found a new city if they had been abroad yesterday. On the Forest avenue grounds in Deering there had sprung up since day break a community sheltered by canvas. The great Forepaugh show had arrived, its many tents had been pitched and the army of em ployes were enjoying their day of rest and receiving visitors, a great number of inter ested people thronging the grounds all day. Today at - and 8 p. m. the performances will be given. A description of the street pa rade, which leaves the grounds promptly at 9 o’clock this morning, gives some idea of the many wonderful things to be seen in the Forepaugh circus under Colonel Cooper’s able management. Thorn-ln-HIs Eye, Lone Bear and all the other famous In dians of the Ogallala Sioux nation, the dark skinned, bright-eyed squaws; the "cute” papooses, brave and daring scouts, lasso throwing cowboys, cowgirls, hunters, trap pers and Mexican hidalgos; all the survi vors of Custer’s old regiment, an emigrant train, with a prairie "schooner," 144 years old, the whole enlivened by a genuine cow boy brass band, together with buffalo, elk and other denizens of the Far West, will march with the great features of the world famed Forepaugh Show—an amusement ag gregation that alone will exhibit free upon the streets scores of glittering chariots and open dens of performing animals, the largest herd of elephants ever brought together in America,a cavalcade of mediaeval knights re splendent in their armor and panoply of war, a series of magnificent tableaux on wheels, illustrative of Lalla Kookh’s depart ure from Delhi and Cleopatra’s journey to meftt Mam Antnnv a t.rnnno nf or an nlnn I Southern Jubilee Singers, six complete, handsomely uniformed brass bands, and a score of other features that want of space prevents the mention of.

In the rehearsal scene very funny men, Burnham and Phillips, will introduce the screaming farce “The Modern School of Acting,” which is calculated to make those who witness It loose all sense of care and give themselves up for the time be ing at least to unrestrained merriment. An nie McVeigh is assigned to the character of Bob, the debutante, and the Boston Herald declares that she is full of mischief and as merry and hoydenish as could well be ima gined. PAVILION TIIEATRE. “Con, the Shaughran,” will be on the boards this week at the Pavilion Theatre. This play is reproduced by universal re quest.

BAKING powder Has Broken tlio Record. Dr. Bennett F. Davenport, tbe State Analyst ol Massachusetts, at the request of the “New Eng- ' land Grocer,” analyzed the three leading Baking Powders now on the market—The Royal, Cleve' land’s and Thepure. In spite of the trumpeted claims of the two for mer. It was found that Thf.pube was ahead in all qualities that make Baking Powder valuable. With retard to strength ana keeping qualities. Dr. Davenport’s report savs: “When first opened Thepure was found to be tbe strongest, yielding 8.83 per cent, more leavening gas than the Royal, and 8.U2 per cent, more than Cleveland's," and again, “after exposure to light and air In my office window and re-tested at Intervals of one, two and three weeks, they were found to still rank In tne same order. At the last test, however, Thepure was 13.39 per cent, stronger than tbe Royal, and 2.92percent, stronger than Cleveland’s. To be further convinced of ita excellence—Try it.
