There is trouble among the Penobscot Indians at Indian island, Oldtown, twelve miles from Bangor, the home of the largest and most important Indian tribe in Maine, over an order of the Maine Central railroad, just issued, that they must pay full fare when traveling on that road. For sixty years the Indians have been allowed to pay the same fare as children, the custom having its origin here. When the Bangor & Vesie, the first railroad in Maine, was built, the road carried manv Indians up river and Gen. Samuel Vesie of this city, then the wealthiest man in (Maine,! who was president of the road, allowed the Indians to ride at children's rates and for the sixty years since the custom has continued. The Indians declare that if .the Bangor & Aroostook railroad follows the example of the Maine Central they will bring suits for heavy damages against the company. They claim that the road, --formerly 'the Bangor & Piscataquis, vas allowed to cross Orson and Black Islands without paying damages, provided Indians were allowed to ride for half fare forever.

Gould and Mr. William Rockefeller, at their residences on the Hudson, are rivals In raising palms, says the' New York Herald. Miss Gould's palm range is probably th finest In America, and she is in tne lead in the palm race for honors. Miss Gould's palm rockery contains many rare specimens from the southern zone, among which are noted the sago palm, draceanas, crotons, marantas, screw pines, onychiums, pteris, and many other fronded varieties. In her main conservatory Kalmia latifolla, the calico bush, the amaryllis and harrisli lily form the rare varieties of flowering plants. Here also are forced the lady slipper, orchids, the othaelte oranges, the arahcaria excelsa and the nephra-llps- is davalleoides furcans. The othaeare lte charming small orange trees, and are either in flower or fruit constantly. The oranges are small, but finely fruited. Carnations are Miss Gould's favorite flowers. She has large beds of the Helen Kellar, the finest fancy variety of carnations. She also has the Lizzie McGowan, Buttercup and Portia, The American Beauty rose is also highly cultivated in the Gould conservatories. Although Miss Gould may excel Mr. Rockefeller in the vast variety of plants and ferns, she cannot furnish at a moment's notice fresh lettuces, toradishes, cucumbers, water-cresse- s, matoes and peaches, and, in fact, all kinds of garden produce. Mr. Rockefeller has recently had some fern pans filled with creeping lycopodium, and in the center of each pan a small palm of a rare variety is now growing quite rapidly. When these have reached their growth there is prospect that they will outclass the magnificent palms of Miss Gould. Batching weaken the body by applying the whip.
