NOTES IK MUSICAL CIRCLES

The many local friends o f Mrs. W . R. Chapman w ill be glad to know that she has recovered from her illness immediately fol­lowing the festival. Mrs. Chapman is the guest of Mrs. Homer Chase of Auburn. She will be in Bangor on business for the Maine festival next week and will be joined there by M r. Chapman, who has been in New York tbe past few days conducting bis choruses in that state. Mrs. Chapman’s kind and thought­ful regard for tbe chorus singers at the Port­land festival is a subject of continual remark the choristers of these cities. It is admitted by all, M r. Chapman among tbe first, that the Maine festival would not have been the success that it was bad it not been for Mrs. Chapman.

Exit M aine’s Festival October, surpassing fair. But Lewiston and Auburn singers and musically interested should not forget next Monday, Nov. ist, when a meeting is to be called in the evening to place the Lewiston and Auburn festival choir on n firm basis of organization and start it towards winning that £500 prize which is offered by Mr. Chapman to the local chorus of the next Maine festival which shall best please the judges. Prize* songs are scarce, that is, the kind thatb Han Kronold played and M r. Williams sang, and prize singing is scarcer than a prima donna’s gold tooth, or a bunch of violets in a Mt. David snow drift. I t doesn’t come by “ read­ing it through once,” then “ trying it over” just to be sure you have it; but in singing a little six days in the week and disturbing your somnolent neighbor in choir or congregation with especial devotional fervor on Sundays; and then on Monday, beginning humbly all over again, do, re, mi, etc., until your neigh­bor (possibly the same) reaches blindly for a sizzling flat iron. Dodge and persist- Lew­iston Journal.

The festival not only quickened the spirit of enterprise in lhe business men of Portland but it has infused new interest into our local musicians. Already the members of the Haydn association are planning an active winter’s work and from this time out the re­hearsals w ill be well attended. In fact the singers now have a definite end to work for. They propose to secure the prize offered by M r. Chapman for the M aine chorus which shall next year show tbe greatest proficiency. It has been whispered that Prof. Chapman, il called upon to award a prize of this kind this year, would not have been entirely clear about giving it to Portland. Knowing this,tbe local singers propose tc see that tbe rehearsals are well attended and that Ihe best singers are not the ones to lose their interest first. In addition to the vocal music, it has been sug­gested that the Haydns would do well to add an orchestra, made up of the best amateur Portland players. There are plenty of good musicians here anxious to play the violin, cor­net, clarinet and other instrumnnts, if they only had a chance to practice with an orchestra. They do spend a good deal of time taking ex celleut instruction on these instruments, but they have no object in view, as a rule, except to entertain themselves and tLeir friends at their own homes. Now here is tbe suggestion. W hy not at once add a local orchestra to the Haydns and see if that would not be of incalculable benefit to the vocal contingent? — Portland Advertiser.

Tbe Musical Courier of New York, which gave a great deal of space to the Maine Festi­val, says among other things:

“ But what shall be said of the chorus I that large body of people which does by far tbe greater part of the work, and as a rule re­ceives the least praise and recognition? What shall be said of this great chorus that to thoroughly and satisfactorily did the work laid out lor it against all sorts of dfficulties. That great chorus that was gathered from all parts of the State of Maine, meeting for the first time in Portland on the morning of the first concert, and after one rehearsal under tbe direction of W illiam R. Chapman was so thoroughly amalgamated by his wizard touch that the choruses were sung in a style seldom heard in any city— never surpassed by any trained body of chorus singers that has been heard at any time of tbe music festivals of this country, if the testimony of those wbo know goes for anything.

“ To whom belongs the due for this tre mendous piece of work? W hy, to W illiam R. Chapman. l i e it was who attended 176 re­hearsals in tbe smaller towns of Maine, trav cling 8,000 miles during tbe past summer to drill, encourage, instruct, guide and bring into harmony tb it absolutely raw material that he found there waiting for a touch to bring it into life. W bat superb work it was! A ll those fresh, clear sweet voices singing with all th -ir fervor and obedient to a turn of the director's band ! I t was a revelation in chorus work that might well surprise all the great artists and musicians present.

“A man who can do such work as M r. Chapman has done with a chorus in Maine is a specialist. I be chorus i* the pivot around which all music-1 work revolves; it is the f oundation fur the education of tbe masses of people in higher and better music, in bringing out wbatevc f 'atent talent there inay be in ibe people, an few are the men who have been able to ai» ve this work. To be sure, Mr. Chapman has two choruses now in New Y u k , the best in this city, but they are com­paratively small Where »« there a good chorus in this city of any siz. that can give (be larger oratorios H other « rks requiting a trained chorus in a 'isfactory anoei ?

“ Why do we never h -tracb o in - of mixed voices in (bis city— a pufectly trained body of singers capable of undertaking a' y kind of work and doing it well? W hy is n> t Wdliam R Chapman at the bead ol *uch a b > y of people, training them for work du ng tbe season in this city? Must we let M i. Chip- man go to Maine, or California, or any «>ih#*r state and follow him there to see what be cando io music? Can we stfzrd to Lave better work done in auy other city in t. c country than can be done right here in New I York? Is not this the musical center of the country? Is not this a good time to iou<e up and have a chorus that will be a credit to us, a chorus that will be available for work, a chorus that will make a u ark upon music not only here, but by its ir-fluencc and example stimulate tbe exertions <2/ other similar bodies of singers through tbe country. Given a chorus like tbe one in Maine, who with but one rehearsal did such fine work, wbat might not M r. Chapman accomplish with a chorus io training lor six mouths of the year ? Keep him in New York. Do not let such talents go away from tbe city. W e need such men aud such work here and we need i l badly.”

This rain w ill prove wood for tbe hunter* and dangerous for the deer. Heretofore the dry and crackling leaves have given tbe game timely warning,

MARRIED IN CHICA60

Mina Mnu<l W a te r m a n F o r m e r ly o f T h o m ­a s to n U n ite d to R x -M a y o r C urtin .

Ex-Mayor Edwin Upton Curtis of Boston,and Miss Maud Waterman, formerly of Thom ­aston, were united in marriage in Chicago Oct. 27, the event occurring much sooner than Boston society had anticipated and com­pletely taking the wind out of the sails of the Boston reporters, who were ingloriously “scooped.” The Globe tells the story in three installments, the first being the follow­ing despatch from Chicago:

“ In the list of marriage licenses published in Thursday papers occurred the following : Edwin U. Curtis, Boston, age 36, Miss Maud Waterman, Boston, age 30.” M r. Curtis is ex-mayor of Boston. The wedding took place Wednesday at the residence of the bride’s sister, Mrs. Jesse E. H all, 271 Oakwood boulevard. The wedding was very quiet, so much so, indeed, that no mention of it got in to the Chicago papers except the routine an­nouncement of the issuance of the marriage license. Among those present at the wedding were M r. and Mrs. Cate of Boston and a number of relatives. The ceremony was per formed by Rt. Rev. Edward E. Cheney of the Reformed Episcopal church. The couple left the city Wednesday night. They will be at home after Jan. 1 at 74 Highland street, Roxbury. No cards.”

Detroit contributes this despatch: “ Ed­win U . Curtis, ex mayor of Boston, and bride are at tbe Cadillac, this city. M r. and Mrs. Curtis arrived here this morning. M r. Cur­tis laughingly admitted to the reporters that he was the man they were looking for. He said : “ ‘ I did think I was going to shake thepapers for a while, and I believe I did rather steal a march on Ihe Boston boys.' He laughed good naturedly as he conitnued : *1 think it’s a bit o f a joke on the Boston news­paper boys that my brother, sister and myself could get to Chicago and have the wedding over before they discovered me. I had to re­sort to a little trick to keep by brother in-law from coming on the same train with us from Chicago, but gave him the slip, also.’ He said that he had only intended to stop in Detroit one day, but now proposed to remain longer in order to see the town. ‘Yes,’ he said, *1 am out of politics, hut they say down in Boston that I am going to run again for mayor in December.’ ‘Are you?' he was asked. ‘That’s a leading ques­tion’ he replied, ‘and time will tell.’ He refused to outline his wedding trip, and he said he did not know where ne was going.”

T h r Globe concludes with this sketch of the bride: “ Mrs. Edwin Upton Curtis was Miss Marguerite Maud Waterman, a member of one of the oldest families of Maine, al­though for the past five years she has made ber ho 1 e in or near Boston. H er engage­ment to ex-Mayor Curtis was first announced last summer, and created great interest.

“ She was born in the old Waterman home­stead in Thomaston, M e , on May 1, 1864 H er father was a wealthy ship builder, who 10 years ago, on account of advancing years, disposed of his business interests in Maine and removed to Boston. H e died in 1893.

“ The daughter was given every advantage a girl coulJ desire in educatioal matters, and she worthily embraced them. She was sent to the best schools in Boston, and after her school days she went abroad, and in the course of time viiited every interesting city on tbe continent. She has also traveled largely through the United States. She lived some time with her brother, Samuel Tilden W ater­man, and her sister, Mrs. Jessie Edson H all, in Chicago. W hile living in Boston she joined the South Congregational church, and became very prominent among the charitable work­ers of the society. One of ber keenest pleas­ures, in fact, is visiting the poor and sick, and her co-workers in the church remember well her untiring interest in the needy ones of whom she assumed the care. I t is said that she is looking forward to resuming charitable work on her return to Boston.

“ H er acquaintance with tbe ex-mayor ex­tends over a period o f five yearn. In ber tastes, while being thoroughly domestic, she is musical, is fond of out door sports and all tbe other amusements that help to make up a happy young womanhood.”

UNDER NIAGARA FALLS

A R o c k la n d W o m a n K n jo y n a N o v e l E x p e r ­ie n c e B e n e a th th o W a te r ’s A v a la n c h e . Rev. Mrs. Taylor, enroute to the W orld ’s

convention of the W . C. T . U ., stopped off at Niagara. She writes The Courier-Gazette of her interesting experience:

I am here in a rain storm. The falls are as awful in the rain,hut not as splendid. In the sun the water looks like crystal, in the shade it is gray, foam and all. However, I shall don rubbers and mackintosh aud go down to the water. * • *

Such a day I I went out, bought a hat for fifty cents— a beauty— ami went to the falls. The wind took my hat from my head over the falls, and that is the end of that hat. So I went bare-headed all day and had a splendid time. In the forenoon I took the Maid of the Mist and steamed up to the foot of the falls and back again. Then I rumbled around and admired the falls from different points of view.

At noon I was hungry but would not go up to get dinner. A sweet little woman from the south of Ireland shared her dinner with me. A t 2 o’clock I prepared for a descent into the Cave of the Winds. I was assigned a room and bidden to remove every garment and put on 0 red flannel suit. Then a girl came in and put an oil-skin suit over that, and I went down n spiral staircase to the brink of Niagara. There I walked along a path under the cliff until at the edge of Lura falls. A broad walk with n railing led along in front of the fall, over the rocks and water at the base. Over bridges I went where I was drenched with spray, and entered the abyss behind the fall at the farther side and passed through a tornado of wind and spray, emerging at the side which first I came to. The three young men who were with me then went up, but I said to the guide:

“ I f you wish to go up, please don’t wait for me. I am going to remain around here awhile and see if the sun doesn’t come out. I want to see the circular rainb »w. I can take care of myself and will come up alone when I get ready.”

Then I tripped ofl down the wet wooden walk again. Yes tripped, for when a woman is not encumbered with skirts she can trip. 1 remarked to one girl who went down that it was worth £1 once in a year to walk free from skirts.

Well, the sun peeped through the clouds about three times, remaining out about a minute, and I saw tbe rainbow in a circle. But I didn't go up then.

Tbe guide remained and I decided to take my dollar’s worth. H e was wet but so was 1; he was not young, but neither was I ; and I thought he could stan’’ it as long as I could, so I went over the rocks, under tbe cliff, clear to the foot of Horse-shoe falls and— we'l, I got my money’s worth. I was down there two hours, and they signalled to the guide to return. So he helped me back over the dangerous places, and then I told him he could go up— I was going to remain longer.

I Bat down on the rocks and rested and revelled, with the cliffs over me, Niagara at my feet, and falls thundering both side of me. Pretty soon he came back with two pretty girls and I went with them out on tbe bridges, and all I regret is that I didn’t go through that Cave of the Winds the second tim e; hut as you can’t see anything there, only move along, ankle deep in water, clinging hand in hand together, bent face to the cliff, with water beating on your back, the compression of air such that you can hardly breathe, I thought I ’d rather spend my time looking up at the volume of water pouring from above, and 1 did so.

I got up and changed my dress, walked to the hotel, gathered my effects, and got to the depot just in time to catch the 5.50 train for Buffalo.

IN A CORNER OF THE LIBRARY

NEWS OF THE ARMORY

Capt. C. G . Morton in his report to the W ar Department concerning lhe Maine Na tional Guard, says the strength consists of 118 officers and 1996 men. The average per cent, attending muster was 89. H e gives a good report of tbe signal corps, but recom­mends belter equipments. Troops could be concentrated in 24 hours if needed. He recommends later style of rifles, that the na (ional appropriation for guards be increased; that more regular army officers be sent to at tend muster; that revised drill be issued soon; that close order drill be cut down;that a post for a regiment of infaulry be established at Bangor. H e praises the rifle shooting and tbe condition both physically and men­tally of the men. Stricter discipline is ad­vised. A good report of (be clothing is given. A great fault, prevalent at drills, is that the movements are rarely explained, and there is but little criticism. A new armory at Portland, costing £50,000, has been erected. Tbe disposition of the citizens is very kindly toward the guards. Two companies have been disbanded aud two formed. The drills were well attended. Go tbe whole the report shows that tbe work of tbe guard is fairly sat­isfactory, although improvements should be made io the equipments and drills. Capt. Morton aaya that troops will rarely be needed to suppress domestic violence, tbe needed points of concentration being Augusta to settle disturbances growing out of rival claims to the State government; ixrwiston aud A u­burn, or Saco and Biddeford, to settle labor trouble*. To repel a j dot land and sea at tack by British on Portland, troops would be concentrated at or near that city.

WITH THE FISHERMEN

Tinker mackerel are being taken in the weirs at O w l’s Head.

Capt. Jonathan Collins of Provincetown, one of New England’s successful mackerel skippers of the peiiod of 1851-1870,was killed at Premont by a train recently.

As it is now only a matter of days to the end of the Maine sardine-packers season, and there are very few fish being packed, the packers at Eastport and Lubec, it is reported, are with-drawing all their goods from the market. I t is rumored alto that speculative buyers are in market for all they can secure at tbe current rales.

I t is understood that (he grand jury at Machias, has reported indictments against two of tbe bardine packers o f that city for violation of tbe packing laws; four counts in one case for shortage of oil used, and four counts in Ihe other for using less than six fish. I f tbe cases come to trial at the present term tbe defendants will be represented by ex-Gov- ernor Cleaves of Portland, and should the verdict be agaimt them the cases w ill go to the law court. The outcome of the suit is es pectantly awaited by every one concerned in the business, aud is awakening a deep interest in maoy 00 the outside; it is likely to ventilate a great maoy points that tbe general public do not understand.

Tbe New England catch of salt mackerel from tbe beginning of the season to October 23 amounted to only 9,244 barrels, against 58,126 barrels for the corresponding period last year; 19,187 barrels in 1895; 39.277 bar­rels 1894; 45,102 barrels iu 1893; 47.341 barrels in 1892. The imports of new salt mackerel at Boston for tbe season were 12,199 barrels, against 21,380 in 1896; 17,548 barrels io 1895; 26.798 barrels in 1894; 2^,283 bar­rels 10 1893 an<l 32,013 barrels in 1892. Tbe importations of foreign makcrel at the port of New York for the week ot October 23 amounted to 1,445 barrels ot Irish mackerel and 300 barrels <<f Norwegian. For the same period Philadelphia firms received 2,669 bar- rels of Irish salt mackerel.

“Sentimental Tommy” has gone into its forty-third edition.

“ Rupert of H entrau,” the sequel to “ ThePrisoner of Zenda,” is said to surpass its predecessor. It is described as being full of the most vivid and picturesque romance.

No life of General Grant can ever compare with Grant’s own story o f his career, but Ihe makers of biographies continue In use him as a subject. Tbe laest w ilie r to deal with him is Ham lin Garland.

“ Gyp,” the French novelist— otherwise the Comtesse de M artel— has made so much money by her writings that she has been able to buy back her father’s ancestral home, the Chateau de Miiabeau, and is now living there.

Mary E. W ilkins has amused herself in the intervals of novel writing by preparing a book of ballads, verses and jingles for chil­dren. This volume, called “ Once Upon a Time and Other Child Verses,” is to be brought out by the I.othrop Publishing Co.

Charles Scribner’s Sons have in press a new uniform edition of the novels of Dr. J. G. Holland. It is surprising to hear that over seven hundred thousand copies of these nov­els have been sold. This having been the case, perhaps the new edition will make its way.

The volume issued by Paul Laurence D un­bar, Ihe negro poet, a year or so ago, merited the wide attention it received. The author has genuine melody and his little studies of human nature are sagacious and illuminating. It is interesting to learn, therefore, that he is at present engaged upon the production of a novel which is to picture life in a small Ohio town. Dunbar was boro in Ohio.

Rudyard K ip ling’s first “ Jungle Stories” were written for St. Nicholas, and this year M r. Kipling will contribute to St. Nicholas a series of stories for boys and girls In what is for him an entirely new vein. They are fan­tastic stories about animals, and he calls them the “Just-So” stories, because they arc meant to be told "just so” to children. The first one appears in in the November St. Nicholas.

Kipling is one of the most industrious of workers as well as a genius. Besides his story of “ A Clouded Tiger,” promised for the Christmas number of McClure's, he has con­tributed some stories to Scribner's and has written the lately announced “ Just So” tales for St. Nicholas. And all this prose is punc­tuated by poems. Quantity proves n o th in g - hut consider the splendid quality of this man’s work I “ White Horses” is the title of the poem be has given to “ Literature” (re ­ceiving £1 a word therefor it is reported); and his Christmas poem for Scribner, described as the song of the human longing for the wilderness, is called “ The Feet of the Young Men."

Curiosity has been aroused as to the shape and make-up of Literature, the forthcoming international gazette of literary criticism. I t is announced that the letter-press w ill be about seven inches by ten inches, perhaps the most convenient of sizes for easy handling. There will he only two columns on each page, printed in large type upon paper of excellent quality. The number ot pages will vary from twenty-four to thirty-four, according to the activity of the publishing season and the im ­portance of the I ooks to be reviewed. There is to be a specially designed cover in two colors. Literature will be published weekly at 10 cents a copy, or £4 a year.

'I be London Spectator is somewhat pessi­mistic as to the ‘authorship and publishing nowadays,” asserting that “ it is becoming prin­cipally a trade in names.” I t says: “ Any of the dozen well-established novelists can sell his work years before a line of it ia w rit­ten. H e contracts to furnish at such a date so many thousand words at so much per thousand. Nothing is specified as to the quality of the article; there must be merely so many thousand words, which can be sold to the world as authentic John Smith or Mary Brown. Magazines are valued not by tbe number of good articles wbizb tbey contain hut by tbe parade of familiar names on the title page; and consequently they lose all per­sonality in themselves, they command neither fidelity nor attachment. Tbe object of every author is to secure a following for him­self, which be can practically transfer with him from one publication and one publisher to another, for tbe constancy of the public bestows itself on inen now, not on periodi­cals; the individual waxes and the magazine is less and less. There is no reason under the new conditions wbv an author should have any more feeling for the periodical in which his work appears tbnn a Sheffield man­ufacturer would feel for tbe fortunes of some cutler in Bond street. So long us there are cutlers enough to sell bis wares and pur­chasers ready to buy them wbo caret for tbe middleman ? A good many paeans bave been sung over tbe increased dignity (and profits) which accrue to authorship from this direct relation between author aud public. W e are old fashioned enough to doubt it the change it wholly for the better; and we are by no means convinced that authors are better off than tbey were. No man bat ever earned so much by literature as Scott did; and few minor poets are even to moderately fortunate as Hogg, wbo made ^ 2 5 0 81s first volumeof verse— a sum which certainly did not come up to bis expectations.”

W e can supply any o f tbe publication- mentioned in the above column at or less than the publishers' prices. l lu r ro N , Rock­land, M e.

OFF-YEAR ELECTIONS

T h e R ew nlt o f M on d ay’* C on ten t N o t An E x p e c te d In E v e r y Cnne.

Elections were held in 14 states Monday and it rained pitch-forks and hoe-handles in the whole fourteen. Not content with the battle which the elements were putting up the Mayors and colonels had a friendly spat in Kentucky, in which four were killed and eight wounded. Rut then, that’s a mild affray for the state of raw whiskey and blue gtass and the other guests probably suffered from ennui.

The battle in Greater New York attracted the most attention owing to the complicated situation which was rendered absolutely dra­matic by the death of Henry George, one of the candidates, upon the eve o f election. But had George lived and polled his full strength it is doubtful if the result would have done anything more than decrease the ma­jority o f Van W yck a few thousands. Every­body whoever read of Tammany H a ll and the Tiger expected that Van W yck and Croker would scoop the .board, but the ad­mirers of Seth Low, Benjamin F. Tracey and H enry George, the younger, were not looking for quite such a fell swoop as Tammany administered. W e give herewith a brief and readable report o f tbe result in the different states:

MASSACHUSETTS.

Popular Roger Walcott was reelected governor by a majority of about 87,000, tbe vote for the leading candidates, one small town missing, being as follows: Walcott, 165,370; George Fred Williams 74,414; W illiam Everett 14,134. W alcott’s majority shows a large falling off as compared with last year, but that’s not very surprising as nobody ever expects to witness another such clean sweep as M cKinley and Wolcott made, in an off year. There were but few close contests for seats in either branches of tbe legislature, but singularly enough, nearly all resulted in victories for the Democrats, so that there w ill be four less Republicans in the 1898 bouse than in 1897. As the Repub­lican majority w ill be about 138, the few defeats will make no difference. The senate, however, will be little changed, 34 Republi­cans and six Democrats; and tbe house 182 Republicans, 51 Democrats, six independents and one Prohibition.

NEW YORK.

Partial and complete returns from all tbe counties of the State show a plurality for Alton B. Parker, Democrat, candidate for judge of the court of appeals of 49,157. The unofficial vote for Mayor of Greater New York follows: Van Wyck, 235,180; Low, <49,837; Tracy, 101,833; George, 20,386; Gleason, 581. The latest returns on members of tbe Assembly (lower bouse of the State Legislature) give the Republicans a majority of 12 in a total membership of 150. In the last Assembly the Republican majority was 79. Three Citizen’s Union nominees were elected in this city. The Senate, which holds over, has a republican majority of 20. Thus Greater New York passes under control of Tammany H a ll for four years. There are opportunities for enormous fraud and every­body connected with Tammany may possibly become Astors and Vanderbilts. On the other band it is possible and probable that Judge Van W yck and his associates may give the second largest city in the world a business like administration, with peace and prosperity for all. To this end every good Republican, Jeffersonian Democrat and Citizen pledges himself, and we will all look for the best.

publican pre** and people profess to believe. The light on O livera c untenance well nigh

Eenetrated |the unwaahed windowa of the 'pinion office when thia newa came in and we

can imagine with what rapture he would flouriah about hia gifted pen, had not later newa torn down tbe abort livad bones and inatalled on their pedeata, the fact that M ark waa victorioua after all. At the Democratic headquarters Wednesday night it was con­ceded that the Republican state ticket bad been elected by about 30,000 and that the Legislature would be Republican. Even now it is claimed that Ganna w ill not have a picnic for Gov. Busbell is going to run lor Senator. But that sounds fishy.

KENTUCKY.Kentucky wheels into the Dem ocratic

column by a majority of over 25,000. Reports from all over the state show that James E. Shackelford, S Iver Democrat, nominee for appelate court clerk, will have fully 25,000, il not 30,000 majority, and that the Silver Democrats w ill have a majority of over twenty in the two bouses of the general assembly. This is not quite so pleasing, but everything goes in election time and there are three long years before another president is elected.

SOUTH DAKOTA.Out ol eight judicial circuits in the sta’e

the Republicans elect five judges, the Demo­crats one, tbe Populista one and tbe Fusion- iata one. South Dakota waa tardy in tbe M cKinley-Bryan contest, but ia fast redeem­ing herself and no bard feelings are chun ked .

KANSAS.Fusionists and Republican managers are

claiming a majority of the offices. O f 22 counties out of 105 heard from I t are placed in the Republican column and nine in that of the Fusionista, while two are so close as to make an official ballot necessary to determine the result.

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOODA fact often overlooked, or not always un­

derstood, is that women sutler at much from distressing kidney and bladder trouble* as the men. Tbe womb it situated back of and very close to tbe bladder and for that reason any distress, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary pas­sage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort.

The error i t easily made and may be a* easily avoided by setting urine aside for twenty-four bouts; a sediment or settling ia evidence that your kidneys and bladder need doctoring. I f yon have pain or dull aching in the back, pass water too frequently, or scanty supply, with smarting or burning— these ire also convincing proofs of kidney trouble. I f yon have doctored without ben­efit, try D r. K ilm er’s Swamp-Root, tbe great kidney remedy. Tbe mild and extraordinary effect will surprise yon. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures.

Referee M ay w ill blow his whistle at 9 o’clock this evening and tbe polo season foi ’97 ’98 w ill be in full b lait. The Portlands gathered from many source* by Manager Burnham w i’l be Rockland’s opponents and as both teams want to win the tight will be made aggressive by both teams. Tbe Rock- lands have been getting in some practice work the past few days and have showed up in good form, and it is expected that they will give a good account o f themselves tonight. Judging from the sale of tickets a large crowd will be present to give tbe team a good send off.

Schofield released by Gardiner to Rock­land w ill play in Augusta as Rockland has enough men without him.

Hadley has been released by Portland to Gardiner.

There w ill be no dozen straight victories for any one team this season.

Lewiston Sun :— Tbe Lewiston polo team will play their first game on Nov. 6, at which time a brass band w ill be the order of tbe evening, and the season will open witL a rush. People in the two cities are on nettles for tbe polo season to begin, and there will Le crowds who w ill turn out this winter to cheer tbe Spindle city lads on to victory. O w ­ing to tbe fact that the City hall was engaged for a few days hence tbe men w ill not report at Lewiston for several days to come. T a r­rant has gone to Gardiner where he w ill get into condition. W alton is working out at Beachmont, Furbusb is getting into condition at Fall River and W hite and Doyle are hardening up at Salem. This ought to be a very fast combination of polo men and if Lewiston don’t race tbe winner from tbe word go until tbe teams come under tbe wire at the home stretch in the spring, then the writer of this epistle is no good counting chickens before they are hatched. L e t’s all turnout the first night and see Furbusb swat tbe ball.

Jimmie Doyle of Salem, who was to play rush on the Lewiston team, will not repoit for duty on account o f an accident to bis jaw while playing base ball. H e was struck again last Friday in tbe same place and was advised not to attempt polo for it was a small chance of saving tbe jaw if he was again struck.

B0WLIN6 CONTEST

The Bangor bowling team visited our city Thursday evening and met the Rockland team in a friendly contest at Healey’s alleys. The Bangor team came down by steamer and were an hour or more late which allowed but four strings to be rolled. There was a fair number of spectators out to witness the contest. Tbe candles bad a contrary fit and all through tbe evening broke badly for both teams but tbe home boys rolled steadier, consequently winding up with fair strings. Tbe visitors took the bad breaks as tbe irony of fate. Mr. Healey had the highest total for the home team and M r. Spear for the visitors. A t the conclusion of tbe game the visitors were enter­tained at Mrs. Perkins’ restaurant with a turkey supper and an hour or more was de­voted in discussing the contents of well spread tables. The Bangor “ boys” aie “ right down good fellars” and not a one of them was sorry for being in Rockland. The Rockland* will make another trip to Bangor at an early date. The score:

Election of a chief justice o l tbe Supreme court. Republicans and Silver Republicans claim to have elected Hayt, Democrats and Populists claim to have elected Gobbert. Official canvass necessary.

NEW JERSEY.The vote in N ew Jersey was light. The

Democrats made gains in almost every county, but the Republicans retain control of the state house of assembly by a narrow majority. Last year there were but four Democrats in the lower house. This year there w ill be 26. The Republicans will have 34 members. The Democrats also made gains in the senate and, instead of three members out of 21, will have seven out of that number. Four of the five Republicans retiring from the senate were succeeded by Democrats.

MARYLANDBoss Gorman made a tremendous fight to

restore bis party to power in this state but latest returns say that in a jo in t ballot the Legislature w ill stand 59 Republican and 58 Democrat. And that too after there had been a bitter factional fight in the Republican party.

IOWA.Shaw, Republican, is re-elected by about

35,000 and tbe Legislature is Republican. Iow a didn't forget her duty, surely.

PENNSYLVANIAThe election here was over state officers,

and the Republicans captured the whole box and dice by immense pluralities. Pennsylvania and M aine are among tbe Republican bul­warks of strength.

NEBRASKA.Fusionists carry tbe state by about 10,000.

Bryan worked like a Trojan to achieve even that much. For mind you,the boy orator atilt has presidential bees in his bonnet.

VIRGINIA.T h e Dutch took Holland and tbe Dem o­

crats carried V irginia. The latest returns from the election in V irginia give tbe Democrats all the senatori elected and 94 and perhaps 95 of members of tbe House. The Republi­cans get four and perhaps five members of tbe House and the Independents one member. T h e Democrats made heavy gams in the the southwest and in the valley.

The tickets for Chaplain Lozier’s enter­tainment, “ Apron Strings,” to be given at the M . E . church, Thursday evening, Nov. 18, are telling very rapidly. Chap­lain Lozier'a singing is one of the most interesting features of tbe lectures which he gives,andjin “ Apron Stringa”he renders several of his most popular songs, one of which bears the name of the lecture and is most beautiful and tender in its sentiment. L . D . W iihard, world’s secretary of the Y . M . C. A., lays of it, “ Its wit, hard aenae, and telling thrusts at conspicuous follies, insure for it as wide celeb­rity as the “ Farm Ballada." W . T . Perkins, secretary of the V . M . C. A ., Columbus, Ohio, says, “ The best thing we ever heard.” Dr.D . H . Moore, one of the most brilliant editors and lecturera, says of thia entertainment, “ Apron Strings” is studded with humorous brilliants that Saxe might well have envied.” j

R. H . Burnham, formerly of this city now of New York, ia in company with his brother- in-law M r. Rowe, manufacturing a clothes line adjuster that will eventually allow the two men to retire with a competency, The device ia for city use and the manufacturers are find­ing the days far too short to supply the demand. By this appliance all danger of fall­ing from windows while banging out or tak­ing in clothes is avoided. By a simple de­vice the pulley, through which the line runs, ia brought ioside the bouse when putting clothes on, or removing from the line. As soon as tbe clothes are on tbe line, or when the line is not in use the adjuster is dropped down outside the window out of the way, and does not interfere with either the window or blind. Every lady, who has Drained her arms and body and spoiled her temper by reaching out o f windows pinning clothes on a line or taking them off, w ill Ireely appreciate tbe advantage of the “ safety adjuster.” Tbe adjuster is selling for only fifty cents. Henry's friends will be pleased to know that be has a Klondike at home.

Tbe Lord ia reviving bis work in Morrill. Some precious souls have sought the Lord only to find that the Lord was seeking them. Some who have been in the background for years are quickened to newness of life. The influences of the Word and the earnest prayers of God’s people are felt for miles around. Rev. H . W . Abbott and wife are assisting the pastor, Rev. G. S. H ill , in the work with earnestness and zeal. The recent session of the quarterly meeting in this place was a great help to man) souls. The northern division of the Lincoln Association is feeling tbe impulse of earnest Christian life and work. There are Baptist families all through this great region of forty-milea in extent, where in other day* there were Baptist churches. Tbe brethren of tbe Knox church are renewedly taking bold of the work of tbe Lord and there are signs and sounds of a coming re­vival.— Zion's Advocate.

A Boston despatch dated Nov. 3 says: Itis expected that the United States ship I.an caster, from Bahia to this poit, w ill reach here some time the last of this week. She has on board the members of the crew of the schooner Olive Pecker, who are being brought here for trial on the charge of murder. It was thought that the Lancaster would have reached port in October, but it is probable that the terrible weather along the Atlantic coast has delayed her, owing to the fact that she is making the voyage under tail alone. No word has been received from the Lancaa- ter since she left port on this trip and she may not be spoken until she is sighted off the cape.

VITAL STATISTICS

S o m e V e r y I n te r e s t ln fr ’K act* a n d F lg n re*S h o w n b y Secretary^ Y o u n g ’* R e p o r t .

The fourth annual repott of D r. A. G Young, secretary of the M aine Board of Health and registrar of vital statistics, is, on the whole, a gratifying one. W hile the num tier of deaths has steadily decreased from 12,- 147 in 1892, through 11,134 in 1893, and 11,012 in 1894, to 10,464 in 1895, l ^e year for which this report is made, the number o f births, (including still births) has increased to 15,430, the number of living children born being 14,762, which is 822 more than that of the preceding year, and larger than in anv previous twelve months. The marriage rate has varied but little, being 5,729 in 1895, 5,594 in 1894, 5.795 in 1893 and 5,726 in 1892. A feature of the repoit from which Maine can derive any satisfaction is that re­garding divorces, the number decreed in 1895 having been 681, which, in proportion to the number of marriages solemnized during the same year, is larger than in any of the other N ew England States.

O f the 14,762 children born alive in the year under consideration, 7,602 were boys, 7,144 girls and of 16 the sex was not stated. Nine thousand three hundred and nine were of American parentage, 2,977 foreign, and of 2,261 one parent was of foreign birth, the pa­rentage of 215 not being stated. The birth rate per thousand of population was 2x33 Cumberland county, as was to hav€ been ex­pected from the size of its population, re­ported the largest number o f births, 2,146, Aroostook being second with 1,946, followed by Penobscot, 1,479, York 1,473, and Andro scoggin 1,244. The smallest number was in Piscataquis, 333. Other counties reported: Franklin, 362, Hancock 782, Kennebec 1,075, Knox 622, Lincoln 376, Oxford 588, Sagadahoc 387, Somerset 622, Waldo 412, Washington 914.

As to the cities the average birth rate there was 23 94 per 1000 of population as com­pared with 21.65 in the rest of the state, Portland leading with 904, followed by Lew iston 644, and Biddeford 532. The number of births in the other cities were Auburn 220, Augusta 245, Bangor 374, Bath 190, Belfas'

Brewer 124, Calais 206, Deering 142, Ellsworth 63, Gardiner i l l , Hallowell 41, Oldtown 124, Rockland 141, Saco 116, Wat erville 233, Westbrook 229. The birth rate per 1000 of population was largest in Bidde ford, 36.83, those following being Westbrook 34.53, Waterville 32.78, Lewiston 2968, Brewer 29.57, Calais 28 26, Deering 26 53. Portland 24,82, Oldtown 23 34, Augusta 23.27, Bath 21.78, Gardiner 2021 , Bangor 18.58, Auburn 19.56, Saco 19.09, Rockland 17.25, Ellsworth 13.11, Hallow ell 12.89, Bel­fast lo .o i. Statistics for Eastport are not given.

Lincoln county, as in each of the previous years, bad the largest percentage of native- born parents, to wit, 92.82 per cent. Waldo followed with 91.02 per cent o f native parent age, and only 0.97 per cent in which both parents were foreign born. In Hancock county, in 87.47 per cent o f the births, the parents were native born. In Franklin, the percentage was 81.22, and in Oxford 81.47. Low percentages of native born parents were shown in Androscoggin county, where, in 38.10 per cent of the births, the parents were native born, and 47 43 per cent were foreign born; and in Y ork county with 5305 per cent, and in Aroostook with 51.44 per cent of the parents native born. In the cities, 41.69 per cent of the births were of American parentage, while in the rural parts of the slate the percentage of American born children was 9 3 0 1 . The largest percentage of foreign born parents was in Biddeford, 68.05, a°d *n Lewiston 66.93 Per cent* The lowest per­centage of foreign born parents was again in Belfast, where no birth was reported in which both parents were foreign. There were 165 twin births and triplets at Portland and Jones boro.

As to the marriages, Cumberland reported the largest number, 813, Penobscot be­ing lecond with 684. Other counties were Androscoggin, 459; Aroostook, 543; Frank­lin, 158; Hancock, 321; Kennebec, 506; Knox, 287; Lincoln, 150; Oxford, 249; Pis­cataquis, 151; Sagadahoc, i l l ; Somerset, 307; Waldo, 218; Washington, 320; York, 452. The marriage rate was higher in Aroos­took county than elsewhere in the state, as in the preceding year, it being for that county 21.90 per 1000. The lowest marriage rate, that of 11.42 per 1000, was in Sagadahoc county. O f the 5,505 records of marriage, in which there is a statement of birthplace in 74 per cent, the groom and bride ware both American; in 11 per cent, both were of for­eign birth; in 7 per cent, the groom was American and the bride of foreign birth; while in 8 per cent, a foreign groom and American bride were united.

I t may be interesting to note that the oldest groom was 84 years of age and the oldest bride 76, while eleven brides were but 14 years old and 204 grooms and 1,632 brides were between 15 and 20. 952 widowers and625 widows were remarried; 186 men and 199 women were remarried alter having been divorced from former marriage; that 100 men and 52 women were united in a third marriage; while 8 men and 4 women con­tracted marriage a fourth time.

Architect Adams, who made the plans forthe proposed W aterville city building, has been paid £2,000 and is pressing a claim of $892 more against the city. Mayor Reding ton will ascertain whether it belongs to the city or the commission to furnish funds to pay the architect. I f the commission is responsi­ble, the architect is in bard luck for that hon­orable body hasn’t a penny to its name.

X L V .1 8 7 7 . (continued) Sometime during the

month of June an affnir occurred which finally cu’minated in a law suit between this town and Bucksport. James Stone, an inhabitant of this town, while in Bucksport where his roving nature had taken him, committed a criminal assault upon a woman for which be | was arrested and lodged in the lockup. W hile | here he attempted suicide by cutting bis throat. For furnishing medical attendance I nnd such other necessaries as his condition required, the town of Bucksport brought an action to recover the amount so expended al­leging that the same were in the nature of pauper supplies. The payment of this sum was resisted by this town on the ground that the supplies furnished could not be regarded as pauper supplies, Stone being at the time cared for as a criminal and not as a pauper, he being under arrest for a crime. The case was taken to the law court on report where it was ably argued at length by Harvey D . Hadlock and O. P. Cunningham for Bucksport, and Gould and Moore of Thomaston for Cushing. Judgment was rendered in favor o f this town in an opinion drawn by Jndge Walton and announced February 22, 1879. Following is the full text o f the opinion in which the facts and questions at issue are fully recited:

“This action is to recover expenses for the support of one James Stone,and the only ques­tion is whether Stone, at the time the support was furnished, can be regarded as a pauper.

“The facts are these: Stone was charged with a criminal assault upon a woman, and was taken into custody by a police officer and put into the lockup H e was found, shortly after, lying upon the floor of his cell with bis throat cut. H e had attempted to commit suicide; and was so weak from the loss of blood that he could not walk, nor stand, nor speak more than a few words with sufficient distinctness to be understood. Medical at­tendance, and such other necessaries as his condition required, were furnished at the ex pense of the plaintiff town, from June 21, 1876, to July 12, 1879, (twenty-one days) when he was taken before a magistrate and committed to the county jail.

•‘The question is whether the expense thus incurred can be regarded as expense incurred for the relief of a pauper. W e think not. Adult persons of sound mind cannot be made paupers against their w ill. To constitute pauper supplies, under the laws of this state, the supplies must be applied for, or received with a full knowledge that they are pauper supplies ;and all care, whether medical or otherwise, is subject to the same rule. Ac- 1873, c.119.

“ The evidence satisfies us that Stone was an adult of sound mind, and that he did not apply for the aid furnished him. I t is con­ceded that be did not. W ere the supplies (in the language of the statute) received with a •full knowledge’ that they were pauper sup plies? A careful examination of the evidence compels us to answer this question in the negative. H e undoubtedly knew that his wants were being supplied at the expense of the public; but the evidence fails to show that he knew, or suspected, that he was being sup­ported as a pauper. H e had reason to believe, and we cannot doubt that he did in fact believe, that he was being supported as a criminal, and not as a pauper. H e had been taken into custody as a crim inal; and as soon as he was able, he was taken before a magistrate, and by him committed to the county ail. There is no evidence that he was ever told ihat he was discharged from his arrest, or that he was in fact discharged. On the contrary, the evidence satisfies us that those having him in charge did not intend to release him, and that he was, by intent and in fact, a prisoner during all the time that the supplies sued for were being furnished him. H e had reason to believe, and we cannot doubt that he did in fact believe, that he was being supported and cared for as a criminal, and not as a pauper. In other words, he did not know that the supplies he received were pauper supplies.

“ We do not mean to decide that supplies furnished one who is under arrest for crime can be regarded as pauper supplies, even if the prisoner does know that they are so in ­tended. W e think it may well be doubted whether persons can be made paupers, and subjected to the disabilities of pauperism, by being arrested for crime, and compelled to receive the supplies furnished them, or die for want of them. There is but little opportunity lor violation in such a case. But it will be time enough to determine that question when a case comes before us in which it necessarily , arises. I t does not arise in this case, because I we are satisfied, as a matter of fact, that the prisoner aid not know that the supplies fur­nished him were intended as pauper supplies. As already stated, we think he had reason to hdieve, and that he did in fact believe, that the supplies were furn'shed him as supplies are ordinarily furnished persons who are under arrest for crime, at the public expense, but not as a pauper.”

Stone was duly tried for the crime charged and found guilty in the Supreme Judicial Court for the county of Hancock, and was sentenced to a lei in of years in the state prison, but died before the expiration of bis sentence.

As soon as the town was officially notified (bat an action bad baen commenced by the inhabitants of Bucksport, a meeting was called by the selectman and held Monday, April 9, at which it was voted to secure com petant counsel to defend the suit. The out­come has already been set forth in the fore­going opinion of fudge Walton.

John McGrath having presented a bill to the town for £72 for services rendered Capt. Thomas H , Chadwick while sick with the small pox, it was “ voted that the settlement of the bill be postponed until Capt. Chadwick returns, then if he refuses to settle with M r. McGrath, the selectmen be authorized to make the most favorable settlement with h im ,

MAJOR W .O . MOORE, SUPERINTENDENT OP POLICE OF W ASHINGTON, D . C.

D r. Greene’s N ervura Blood and nerve remedy keeps right on curing the most noted nnd famous among our people as well as those lu the ordinary walks o f life.

Wo read continually about the cures of well- known prominent people by this wonderful health-giver, D r . Greene’s N ervura; but where one such eminent clergyman, statesman or1 public official is cured, there are thousands upon thousands o f cures constantly being effected among the common people every­where. The common people make up the great mass of our citizens, and i t is they, the business man, clerk, salesman, mechanic, laborer, and the women of our land, the toil­ing housewife, saleswoman, Bhop and factory girl, who receive tiie most cures and best know and appreciate the great blessing of health and strength which Dr. Greene’s Nervura always brings to the weak, nervous, ruu-down, sick and demiitated.

The recent cure by D r . Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy of M ajor W . G. Moore, Superintendant of Police of Washing­ton and District of Columbia, is o f the utmost importance inasmuch as M a j. Moore, is one of the best known men in this country, ho having been confidential secretary to a President of the United Slates — President Johnson, and also secretary to E . M . Stanton, President Lincoln's Secretary of W ar. The cure of 60 well-known and famous a inan is a guarantee to the people that D r . Greene's Nervura cures,

and his written recommendation to the people who are sick, suffering or out of health in any wav to use D r. Grecno’s Nervura if they wish to be sure of a cure, w ill cause everyone who reads his words to immediately try this grand* cst of remedies.Headquarters o f the Metropolitan Police,

' Washington, D istrict of Columbia.<• I beg to say th a t I have found comfort

nnd relief iu the use of D r . Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and recommend it us good for the circulation and digestion.

M a jo r W . G . M O O R E , Superintendent M et. Police, D . C.

I f yon are sick, suffering, out of order, run- d ow II <>r d o n o t p e l j u s t r ig h t , g e t D r . G r e e n e ’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy immediately. I t w ill give you new, strong, vigorous nerves, pure blood and sound aud perfect health. I t w ill make you look and feel ten years younger, and give you a youthful zest and enjoyment of life. D o n 't wait — take it now and get well.

D r . Greene’s N ervura has more recom­mendations and medical authority behind it than any other medicine In the world. Physi­cians endorse and prescribe i t ; hospitals and dispensaries use it, and i t is the prescription and discovery of the well-known D r. Greene of 34 Temple Place, Boston, Mass., who is the most successful physician in curing disease. D r. Greeuo can be consulted free by all — there being no charge fo r consultation, exam ­ination or advice either personally or by letter.

AMERICAN SHIPPIN9

From 1789 to 1828 duties on imports in foreign vessels were higher than on imports in American vessels, which discrimination created such a preference for American vessels as to give them 90 per cent, of our foreign carrying during that time. This policy was gradually anandoned, beginning in 1828, since when American vessels in 'the foreign trade have never been protected against <he competition of foreign vessels, as a consequence of which but 11 per ce» t. of our imports and exports are now carried in American vessels.

The Republican National Platform of 1896 contained the following plank:

"W e favor restoring the early American policy of discriminating duties for the up­building of our merchant marine and the protection o f our shipping in the foreign carrying trade, so that American ships— the product of American labor, employed in American shipyards, sailing under the stars and stripes, and manned, officered and owned by Americans— may regain the carry­ing of our foreign commerce.”

President M cK in ley indorsed that plank in his formal letter accepting the nomination for the Presidency, in these words:

“The declaration of the Republican plat­form in favor of the upbuilding o f our mer­chant marine has my hearty approval. The policy of discriminating duties which pre­vailed in the early years of our history should again be promptly adopted by Con­gress and vigorously supported until our prestige and supremacy on the seas is fully attained.”

Discriminating duties were imposed in the first tariff, passed in 1789, but after 1828 were nullified by acts o f Congress and treaties exempting imports therefrom. But the old act. with the exempting provisions, has been carried along in all subsequent tariff acts. All that was necessary to restore the old policy, therefore, was to repeal the acts of Congress and abrogate the treaties standing in the way. A t the extra session of the 55th Congress changes were made in the old act, by excision and insertion, the former being indicated by insertion below, in brackets, and the latter being indicated by italics:

“ That a discriminating duty of 10 per centum ad valorem, in addition to the duties imposed by law, shall be levied, collected* and paid on all goods, wares or merchandise which shall be imported in vessels not of the United States, or which being the production or manufacture of any foreign country not contiguous to the United States, shall come into the United States from such contiguous country; but this discriminating duty shall not apply to goods, wares or merchandise which shall be imported in vessels not of the United States, entitled at the time of such importa­tion by treaty or [any act of Congress] con­vention to be entered in the ports of the United States on payment of the same duties as shall then be payable on goods, wares and merchandise imported in vessels of the United States, nor to such foreign products or manufacturers as shall be imported from such contiguous country in the usual course o f strictly retail trade.”

In a decision rendered on Sept. 20, 1897, the Attorney-General o f the United States declares that goods coming through con­tiguous foreign territory, not the production or manufacture thereof, and imports in for­eign vessels not entitled to exemption by treaty or convention, are not liable to the discriminating duty.— Seaboard.

and present the bill to sxid Chadwick h r payment.”

At this meeting Edward Crouse was granted the privilege to work out each year on his private way his proportional part of the sum raised for the repair of highways and bridges.

The town having, for several years, sup­ported Richard Kerby at his home on the Hathorn'9 Point road, the selectmen were in ­structed to get a deed of the property from M r. Kerby, and to expend the sum of £icx> in repairs on the buildings. For a long time M r. Kerby bad partially supported himself by the sale of small groceries, but advancing age and growing infirmities, coupled with an al-1 most life long inability to walk,' having inca­pacitated hint from pursuing bis business to advantage, Francis Bradford and family, themselves town charges, were domiciled in his house to tare for him, supplies for both parties being furnished by the town.

It becoming evident that the amount raised at the annual meeting Mould be insufficient to defray the expenses of the town for the year, an additional sum of £250 was raised at this meeting.

1878. The annual town meeting was held Monday, March 18, and the following officers elected: Moderator, F . C. H athorn; Clerk, C. A . Fogerty; Selectmen, Overseers of the Poor, Fence Viewers and Road Commission­ers, A. S. Fates, F . C. Hathorn and C. A. Fogerty; Assessors, C. A . Fogerty, S. D. H unt and O. P. Davis; Member of School Committee, Rev. R . S. D ixon; Constables, M . L . Woodcock and Joshua Rivers; Col­lector, Joshua Rivers; Pound Keeper, Joshua Rivers; Surveyors of Wood and Bark, A . S. Fales, A. R . Rivers and F. C. H athorn; Sur­veyor of Lumber, C. A . Fogerty; Culler of Hoops and Staves, S. D H unt; Field Drivers, Albert Wallace, John M iller, Jr., C. F. H ilt, P. T . O iff, Randolph B. Freeman, Daniel Jackson and Hiram Labe; Sealer of Weights and Measures, Jusbua Rivera.

I t was voted to raise £725 for the repair of reads and bridges, £550 for the support of schools, £450 for the support of the poor, and £260 to dehay town expenses. Voted to a l­low E. M . Maloney one quarter pa*t of his tax to pay for work ou bis private way for the year 1878. Voted to adopt the methods of the previous year fur collecting taxes.

Upon the application of Charles Cazallis, T . J. O ine, William Beckett and others, the selectmen laid a a proposed towu way begin ning at Richard A. Davis’ middle gate, and ending at the towu road near the schoolhouse id District No. 5 It was bounded aud de­scribed as follows: “ Beginning at the north eas'dly post of a pair of bars in the line be- tween Richard A |D . v s and W illiam Beckett, near said Davis’ middle gale; thence from | aai't post on land of W illiam Beckett north ' 3 2 ^ d«g. WeM 20 rods and 23 links to a stake ano slums; thence north 47^ beg. ea-4 20 rods and 16 links to laud of Albion M u rs i; I thence same course l i rods and one link to i stake and stones opposite said Morse’s bouse; I thence north 47 deg. east 20 rods and 20

links to stake and stones in the line between said Morse’s and, Charles Cazallis’ fields; thence by said Cazallis’ land north 55A deg. east 21 rods and one link to a stake in an old stump; thence north 50 deg. east about 40 rods to stake and stones on land o fT . J. Orne; thence by said Orne’s land east south­east about 34 rods to a chipped rail in the fence near said O rne’s gate; thence on land of Cazallis southeast on said land about rods to the town road near the schoolhouse in District No. 5; the lines described to be the middle o f the town way, and the same to be three rods wide.”

N o land damages were paid as none were demanded by the several owners over which the proposed roao passed. This road was accepted by the town at a special meeting held Saturday, June 8, and the selectmen in ­structed to build the same with any unex­pended money in the treasury if sufficient, otherwise to hire the necessary amount on the credit of the town.

Jurors drawn during the year: March term, W illiam J. Jones, Thursday, February 21; September term. Edmund liy le r , Satur­day, August 31; December term, Judson Payson, Saturday, November 50. Grand juror, Samuel Payson.

This year the Greenback party made its appearance in Cushing, and succeeded in carrying the town by six plurality on the vote for Governor. Tbis party made the first ap- pearanco iu American politics with the nomi­nation of W illiam Allen for Governor o f Ohio, by the Democratic State Convention of 1874 in opposition to Rutherford B. Hayes, upon a platform containing a soft money clause. This party made its first appearance in Maine, with the introduction into the Democratic State Conveniion of 1875 by Solon Chase of Turner, of a resolution con­taining this Ohio clause. This resolution was refused a passage. Before the next cam­paign, Solon Chase established a Greenback newspaper, and a party was formed, which nominated Almon Gage o f Lewiston as Governor, who received 520 votes.

Following is the result of the election of 1878 in tbis tow n: For Representative to Congress, W illiam Philbrick bad 51 votes, Franklin Smith 45 s nd Stephen D . Lindsey 13; for Governor, Joseph L . Smith had 51, and Alonzo Garcelon 45 aud Selden Couner 13. The vote was the same for the other candidates on several tickets excepting Repre­sentative to the Legislature. The couuty candidates were as follows: For Senator Nelson Thompson, George W . Ricker and J >bn S. Case; for County Commissioner, long term, George W . Thorndike, Charles A. Sylvester and R Harvey Counce; short term, Ebrn C i1 ighton, Hannibal A. Morang aud Charles R. M allard; for Treasurer, Thomas B. Spear, W illiam 11. Rhoades aud Michael A. Ac! Oiu; L r Sheriff, S mon G. Webster, Cyrus R Moi ton and Samuel R. Shepherd; foi Krpieseutative to (he Legislature, Samuel D Davis had 52 voles, Alexander Wincapaw 45 and Alden Bradford 11.

A tramp wearing a shiny silk hat was one of the sights in Portland, last week. Some one who knew where he got his bead gear ex­plained that a philanthropic citizen of Deering, in response to a request for “ old does,” brought out this relic of his “ courting days.” Probably the tight shoes he was wont to wear at the same time, were scorned by his tramp- ship who, however, showed bis appreciation of the bat by carefully covering it with a newspaper before taking a nap by the side o f the railroad track.

COTTON SEED DHLSMnch bat been said and written relative to

the use of cotton-teed meal a t a cattle food. Nearly all investigators agree in giving it a high value and urge dairymen to use tbit material not only because it is a cheap source of protein but because it also has a high man­orial value. Practical feeders differ greatly in their estimates of cotton seed meal. Some seem to use it vety satisfactorily for a while and later conclude that the feed is not well adapted to their purposes. Occasionally a feeder observes that the health o his animals is affected by the feeding of cotton-seed too freely, and it sometimes happens that even after animals have been fed for months with apparent success that they orc injured by its continued use. I t has also happened that cows fed upon cotton seed meal do well for o time and that later the milk flow is dim in­ished without apparent cause.

There are at present no other concentrated feeding stuffs which vary so much in composi­tion as cotton-seed meals from different sources and different mills. W ithin three weeks the Station has examined samples varying from 22 per cent, to over 53 per cent, of protein.

This great variation in different lots of c« t ton-seed meal may explain the different estimates of different practical feeders and of the same feeders at different times. I f a cow is fed on cotton seed meal containing 26 per cent, protein and is then fed an equal weight of a meal containing 52 per cent., it is evident that the amount of protein which she receives will have been doubled by the change. If she has been fed up to her full capacity in the first instance, such an increase must re­sult disastrously. On the other hand, chang ing from a cotton-seed of high protein con­tent to one of low protein content would diminish the m ilk flow unless the amount ol meal fed is correspondingly increased.

I f it is a correct supposition that much of the trouble arising from the use of cotton­seed meal is due to its varying in composition, this can be readily overcome by the feeder. Cotton seed meal like most concentrated feed­ing stuffs cannot be legally sold in the state unless the chemical composition is stated up­on the package. From the known composi tion of different lots it w ill be possible to so adjust the amount fed that the size of the ration as measured by its content of protein will be kept unchanged.

The variations in composition are so great and the matter is such a serious one to the consumer that he, for bis own protection, should refuse to purchase concentrated com mercial feeding stuffs which are not licensed as required by law. A ll goods sold legally carry the brand and inspection tag. The in ­spection tag is a red shipping tag with the coat of arms of the state, the name of the station, the Director's signature and thewords “Tax paid o n ----------- pounds," printedupon it. The brand includes the following statements: The number of net pounds con­tained in the package; the name or trade mark under which it is sold; the name of the manufacturer or shipper; the place of manu­facture; the place of business of manufacturer or shipper; the percentage of crude protein and the percentage of crude fat.

The act went into effect October first. I f observed failures to comply aie reported to the Director of the Station, it will facilitate the enforcement o f the law.

learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. H a ll’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu­tional disease, requires a constitutional treat­ment. H a ll’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease and giving the pa­tient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.Address, F.

SPRUCE HEAOFrank B. M iller, chairman of the Knox

county republican committee and C. D . S. Godfrey, eaq., a member o f the Sooth Thom ­aston town committee bad their heads together in tbe back parlor o f M r. Godfrey’s seaside home one day last week; but M r. Godfrey assures us that the interview was ouly a chance one. The facts are these: M r. M iller rode down on his wheel and just called on this friend of his to rest and re­fresh himself; so the country at large can rest assured that these gentlemen didn’t lay any plans to stop the present boom that is heard and felt on every hand. M r. Godfrey says faith without work is dead, and he has started up his quarry to be ready when the freight train corner this way.

Amos Cummings, brother c f our popular mail driver, was buried from bis late home last Tuesday. M r. Cummings had been con­fined to the house many months with con­sumption and was a great sufferer. A goodly number of the friends of the family were present at the funeral. Rev. M r. Jenkins officiated.

Jennie R. Godfrey returned home Sunday from a week’s visit at Highland.

Rev. S. L . Hanscom preached to our peo­ple last Sunday morning. H e took for his text Psalm 130 and gave a very able sermon. M r. Hanscom preached three times on that day and drove over twenty-five miles of as rough a road as can be found this side of the Klondike. A good day’s work for the Lord. Come again brother.

Tbe many friends of John McNaughton, brother to Mrs. C. D . S. Godfrey, were grieved to learn of bis serious illness at Cambridge, Mass. M r. McNaughton has made several visits to M aine and has a host o f friends here.

M r. Blethen is putting on men at Eagle quarry, clearing away for paving cutters. This makes work for the Wheeler Bay folks and looks as though Uncle John thinks the boom is drawing nigb. A good-sized schooner loaded there the present week and another small cargo at Patten Point will be shipped in tbe near future. That w ill clean up the paving about tbe point.

Tbe boys who went to Boston last week to look for work have returned to father’s house. They say the H ub is so big that they couldn’t see the wheels go round. The boys think the little game of the penny in the slot is deep enough for them aud they don’t want any chances in the big wheel of fortune at tbe Hub.

W e are having a beautiful rain this evening and it makes us smile to hear the water run into our big tank down cellar. Our women folks had ordered up wash water for tomor­row, and that meant toting it from the spring, about a gunshot right down hill from our house. Our girls have gone to bed now but bow they w ill laugh in tbe morning when they see that big draught of water we toted home while they were asleep.

Sunday morning at sunrise we beard what sounded like gunners on the outer ledges, and they kept it up until after church time. I t strikes us that Sunday gunning is altogether wrong and should be looked after. I t ia no strange lig h t down here in the country to see men with guns over their shoulders aud with dogs going into the woods Sunday morning. A few weeks ago on Sunday while our people were going to church, men came from the outer islands and passed right by the church door with bags o f game, tolera and guns. W e don’t object to fishing our streams and ponds on Sunday, although it is breaking the state and moral law, but we shall endeavor to put a stop to parading our streets on the Sabbath with guns, dogs and game-bags.

Bert Bletbeu and W . A . Adams got tbe sit-down quarters o f Tom W iley’s deer and our selectman Butler got the hide. Tbe rest of the aoim al was grabbed up by those that hankered after wild game. But poor I didn’t get a smell. W hy Tom?

The city government held i special session Thursdsy night and took energetic measutes in relation to the retinal c f City Treasurer Jones to honor Mayor Butler’s order lor payment on the new city building. For nearly two hours, after listening to the legal opinion of M r. Jones’ counsel, lhe firm of Littlefield, read by M r. J nes in person, the city council wiestled in executive session over the matter and then dissolved to meet sepa­rately and take action. In the Common Council, without further discussion, Council­man Emery R. Thomas introduced the fol­lowing order:

Whereas the mayor of the City of Rockland, having been duly author­ized on the thirtieth day of October ultimo drew his official order for $3000 In favor of the W. H. Glover Co., on the city treasurer of said city, I. e., Everett A. Jonca, against the “ Farwell bequest ’’ ftwid, so called, in part payment for the new city build­ing. so called, and delivered the same to the W. H. Glover Co., and whereas tlhe city treasurer, Nov. 1 ultimo re­fused to honor said order, by declin­ing to draw his official check for pay­ment of the same:

Therefore be it ordered the aider- meat concurring that the said Everett A. Jones, as city treasurer, be and is hereby ordered and Instructed to pay said order forth with, on demand of said W. H. Glover Co., or said City of Rockland by Its proper officers. And If the said Everett A. Jones refuses to pny said order he Is respectfully re­quested to forthwith tender his resignation as city treasurer.

Councilman Gregory o f W ard 2 moved that the above order have a passage, tbe motion was seconded and the measure passed without a dissenting vote.

In the Board of Aldermen the result was very close, Aldermen Anderson, Harrington, Andros and Porter voting to concur and A l­dermen Peterson, Johnson and Black- ington voting to non-concur in the lower board’s action. Thus the order had a passage and the remaining alternative seems to be that M r. Jones must honor Mayor Butler's draft or step down and out of the position to which the citv council elected him.

It was almost eight o’clock before the two boards met for action, and in the Board of Aldermen an order calling for a joint conven­tion to listen to any communication M r. {ones might have to make was promptly passed. The lower board concurred. Mayor Butler presided and M r. Jonea upon being asked to state hrs case, read the following legal opin­ion of his counsel, the firm of Littlefield :

Rockland, Me., Oct. 8, 1 f»97. Everett A. Jones, Esq., Treaaurar of the City of Rockland.

Dear Sir: In answer to your in­quiry as to the validity of the con­tracts made under the dtreatlon of the City Council of Rockland, for a new City Building, and what we should ad­vise you as to your responsibility as Treasurer of said City, in disbursing the money of the City on account of said contracts, on Che Mayor’s orders therefor, we have to say that we have examined the matter, and submit herewith our answer thereto.

The question involves the construc­tion and application of Article 22 of the amendments to the State Constitu­tion, which reads as follows:

"No city or town shall hereafter cre­ate any debt or liability, which singly, or in the aggregate with previous debts or liabilities, Shall exceed five per centum of the last regular valua­tion of said city or town; provided, however, that the adoption of this ar­ticle shall not Ibe construed as apply­ing to any fund received In trust by said city or town, nor to any loan for the purpose of renewing existing loans or for war, or to temporory loans to be paid out of .money raised by taxation, during the year ira whldh they are made.’’

This amendment was adopted in the year 1877. The Indebtedness of the City of Rockland, a t the time of the making of the contracts In question; was about ten per cent of Its last reg­ular valuation. It is clear, therefore, that under this provision of the Con­stitution, It was not within the power of the City Council to create any addi­tional debt or liability, or to make any contract that was not provided for by current municipal taxation, by the ap­propriations for the current year, or by trust funds then available therefor.

Tbe appropriations for the Munici­pal year were made June 21, 1897. No provision was made in any of the ap­propriations for funds for the new City Building, and It is not contemplated, as we are advised, to use any of the funds thus appropriated, for that pur­pose, with the exception of the perma­nent Improvement fund hereafter re­ferred to.

That the City council could not make any contract In excess of avail­able trust funds, and such sums as might at that time have been trans­ferred from the appropriations, is clear, and this fact was thoroughly well understood by 'the City Council, as will appear from the message sent to City Council a t the special meeting held June 21, by his Honor, the Mayor, In which, among other things, he says:

“It being well understood that our Municipal debt cannot be increased, and new burdens should not be laid on our tax payers,"••♦•••••• "and underthis plan, if the expenditure Is am- lined to the amount of the trust funds, the Municipal debt would not be In­creased, and no bunion added for our tax payers.”

lAnd as further appears from the re­port of the Committee to whom was referred his communication, which re­port was made July 6, 1897, in which they say:

"As tlie City debt cannot be in­creased, and no money for this pur­pose can be raised by taxation, it is imperative that whatever is done iu the way of building shall not exceed the amount of trust funds at hand.”

It appears that the City bad re­ceived prior to Aug. 24, 1897, the sum of five thousand dollars from the Jo­seph Farwell Estate, known as the "Joseph Farwell Fund," and that among the appropriations made June 21. 1897, was an appropriation of one thousand dollars for permanent im­provements. The joint rules for both

I boards of the City Council provide with reference to appropriations, asfollows:

''in the present and every future financial year, after the Res.zlve mak­ing the annual appropriations shall have passed, no subsequent expendi­ture shall be authorised for any ob­ject unless provision for the same shall be made by a special transfer from some of the appropriations, con­tained In such annual Resolve, or by expressly creating therefor a City debt; In the latter ot which cases, the order shall not be passed unless two- thlrds of tho whole number of each branch of the City Council vote In the affirmative, by a vote taken by yeas nnd nays.”

The contract In question undoubted­ly Involves within tho meaning of this rule, subsequent, expenditure, which could not be authorized "unless pro­vision for the same shall l»e made by a special transfer from some of the appropriations, contained In such an­nual Resolve, or by expressly creating therefor a City debt.,’’ or by appro­priating trust funds therefor. This would undqubtedly apply to tho appro­priation of one thousand dollars for permanent Improvements.

On August 24, 1897, the City Council passed orders instructing the Mayor to draw his order for said sum of five thousand dollars, the "Joseph Farwell Fund,” nnd for the one thousand dol­lars permanent Improvement fund, to be applied to the expense of construc­ting and the sxpense of the new City Building, making In all a fund of six thousand dollars, available for the pur­pose of constructing the nerw C..y Building. We have been advised that there is the sum ot four hundred dol­lars in addition, of trust funds in the, Treasury, which might be used for this punpose, but it does not appear that any order hnd on the 24th. day of August, 1897, been passed appropriat­ing It therefor; so that strictly apenk- Ing, all the funds that were available for that purpose on the 24’th. day of August, 1897, were six thousand dol­lars. It is clear that any contraot for a now City Building In excess of the sum of six thousand dollnrs, nnd In uny event In excess of the sum of slxty- four hundred dollars, would create a debt or liability within the meaning of the Constitution, and be, therefore, contrary to Its provisions, and illegal.

Upon the 244h. of August, 1897, after these orders were passed, and at the same meeting, the City Council, by an order, Instructed the committee, of which Alderman E. W. Porter was Chairman, to execultc the following contracts, for the pur;tose of erecting a new City Building adjoining and a t­tached to the Engine House, so called, on Spring 9t. in said City, as follows: W. H. Glover Co., General Plan A., 86,870; Sleeper Bros., Heading, Plan A., J885; Sleeper Bros., Plumbing, Plan A., 8575; Pauley Jail Co., Colls, etc., $680; total, $9010.

On the 25th, of August, 1897. the W. H. Glover Co. contract was executed. On the 26th. of August, 1897, the con­tract for plumbing With Sleeper Bros, was executed, and on the 4th. of Sep­tember the contract with Sleeper Bros, for heating Was executed. The con­tract with the Pauley Jail Co. appears .to have been executed shortly after the passage of the order authorizing it, but tbe exact date we have not learned. We think these contracts are to be treated as a whole, as they are all for one purpose, authorized by one order, treated as a whole, and necessarily in­volved in the completion of the city Building. These contracts In the ag­gregate, It wllll be seen, exceed the funds available for the new City Build­ing by the sum of three thousand and ten dollars. The W. H. Glover Co. contract alone exceeds the fund avail­able for Hie New City Building by the sum of eight hundred and seventy dollars.

To the total of the four contracts above mentioned, there ought proper­ly to be added, in a fair con­struction of the whole question, lhe architect's commission for planB and supervision being live per cent upon the amount of the contracts, or four hundred and fifty dollars and fifty cants, making the aggregate expendi­ture, nine thousand four hundred ami sixty dollars and fifty cents, or an ex­cess over the funds available for the now City Building, of three thousand four hundred aud sixty dollars aud fifty cents. In addition to these umoiimts, the expenditure of three hundred and forty dollars for vault i doors is contemplated, which is, of course, necessary to the completion of the building; of this, however, we make no account In reaching our con­clusions.

Our attention has been called to the fact that a bequest of one thousand dollars by Mary C. Titoomib will be available for this purpose. While Mrs. Tltcomb has devised to the City for the use of tbe Public Library, the sum of one thousand dollars, this be­quest Is not available for the City’s use until It has been properly accept­ed auid received by the City.

A controversy now exists between the Executor of the will of the late Mrs. Tltcomb and the city Council, as to whether the City of Rockland has legally accepted the bequest, the Ex­ecutor contending that a vote of the j>eople therefor, under the statute, is neceessary, and the City Council con­tending that a vote of the City Coun­cil alone is all that is required. Wo are advised that this fund will not be delivered to the City until that matter Is determined by the proper tribunals, although any controversy over this question could, of course-, have been readily avoided by submitting the matter to the vote of the people.

We think that the validity of the contracts in question Is to bo deter­mined by the conditions existing at tbe time tbe contracts were authorized and mode. At that time tbe one thousand dollars bequest from tbe Tit­oomib estate had not been received, and It is not certain when it will be. if it had been received and appropriated for thut purpose, the contracts would still have exceeded the available funds > by the sum of twenty-four hundred and sixty dollars, and If, In addition thereto, the four hundred dollars said to be available as trust funds now in i possession of the City, had also been i appropriated tor this purpose, before contracts were authorized and male, the contracts therefor would have ex­ceeded the available funds by tbe sum of two thousand and sixty dollars and fifty cents; so that the Tltcomb be­quest, and the tour hundred dollars of trust funds, are not material consid­erations.

The W. H. Glover Co. contract

deary contemplates carrying forward to another year twenty per cent of the contract price, or thirteen hundred and seventy-four dollnrs.

A statement of the facts above recit­ed clearly shows that the contracts In controversy are In violation of the constitution, ami therefore Illegal. We understand the Mayor and the Chairman of the Committee admit this to be the case. They have clearly been made contrary to (he specific written recommendation of the Mayer and Committee.

We think they are Illegal as a whole, nnd do not think that they ran ho treated as valid as to the amount of the funds available at the lime' they were made, viz: six thousand dollars, nnd Invalid ns to the remainder.

Tho City Charter provides. Section 11, thnt “No money shall be paid from the city treasury unless the same ho appropriated by the City Council an 1 upon n warrant signed by the Mayor, which warrant shall state the appro- prlatlon under which the same Is drawn.” Every order, therefore drawn by the Mayor upon the Treas­urer, must disclose upon Its face, In order to be a protection to the Treas­urer In the payment of the City’s money, the appropriation under which or the purpose for which It Is drawn. No payment can be made by you for the New City Building, therefore, ex­cept upon a warrant slgmed by the Mayor stating that it is drawn tor thnt purpose.

It being, therefore, clear and admit­ted that tlie contracts Inquired about are illegal, the only question remain­ing Is whether you would have any right as City Treasurer, to pay the money In your possession ns such, up­on an order of the Mayor which must disclose upon its face Hint It Is drawn for the performance of an Illegal con­tract, and known by you to be Illegal.

Upon this question we find that the Courts In California have held that the payment by a ICty Treasurer of a warrant which he knows to be Illegal, out of money set apart, for the payment of the warrant substituted for It, thereby exhausting the fund out of which the latter Is payable, Ih a mis­appropriation of the fund, for which the sureties on his bond are liable.

Prlet v. De La Montanyo, 85 Cal., 148, 24 Pac., 612.

In Ventura County v. Clay, 46 Pac. 9, tho same Court held that “a County Treasurer and the sureties on bis bond are liable for his payments of warrants drown by tho auditor, which show up their face that they are for services rendered In assisting the recorded and auditor of the county In the poform- anice of his duties," (which were not a charge against lhe County,) "und therefore illegal."

The same proposition was inferen- tiOlly held by the same Court In the case of Ixw Angles County v. Lan- kerahlm, 100 Cal., 525, 35 Pac., 153, where the court held that the sureties on the official bond of a county treas­urer were not liable for t.be leas re­sulting from the payment by the treas­urer of a genuine auditor's or comp­troller’s warrant In due form upon the school fund "without notice," actual or constructive of any fraud or Infirmity in the claim upon which such a war­rant was based. Tho necessary in­ference from this decision is that they would hiuve been liable for tlie Iobs If tbe county treasurer had had notice,act­ual or constructive, of the fraud or In­firmity of the claim upon which the warrant was based. In your case, the illegality of the contracts is fully known and well understood, and the order must disclose on its face tho Illegal purpose.

Upon these authorities we feel bound to advise you that payment up­on such warrant or order would be un­authorized, and a misappropriation of the funds in your hands, tor which both you and your sureties would be liable. Believing the law to be such, we do not, of course, feel authorized Lo advise you to make such payments. We do not think that Lhe vote of me City Council, under the above circum­stances, or that tlie warrant of the Mayor, would be any protection to you In making the payments. It has been suggested to us that In a num­ber of instances, similar illegal con­tracts have been made, und although well known to lie In violation of the low, the City Treasurer has never sus­tained any Injury by reason of having disbursed the City’s money on account therefor. This may be true, and it may be that such contracts may he made und carried on indefinitely and it may also be true that the business of the City may be conducted in this munner until Rs regularity may he questioned in a manner that may subject some City Treasurer, with Ills sureties, to serious loss. Whatever tlie practice may have been, we cannot, as your attorneys, advise you to take any course which we know to be a viola­tion of the law.

LITTLEFIELD.M r. Jonei concluded with lhe statement that

he felt obliged to abide by Ibis opinion and in Ibal condition left it wilh Ibe city council to take such action as it might tee fit.

“ Supposing,” asked Alderman Johnson, “ that you were guaranteed perfect safety in lhe mailer, and could be assured that neither you not your bondsmen would be troubled in Ibe matter, would you then be willing to honor Mayor Butler’s order?

M r. Jones* reply: “ I consider tbe whole matter illegal and do not tee bow anyone can guarantee safety to my bondsmen.” W ith tb it he declined lo make any further statement, preferring to leave everything wilb bit coun- I sel. Shortly slier tbe two boards met as a committee of Ibe whole and Ibe public were excluded irom,listening to Ibe deliberations.

W bal patted in executive session does not become a public mailer, but Ibe writer feels that he violalet no confidence in staling that M r. Jonea’ position was discussed from every poi slide tide, and only until every member of both bonds felt that it was futile to treal longer— ibat Ibe city and ibe city council were bring held up lo Ibe world io a false light and its ciedit likely lo sutler because tbe true sit­uation would not be known abroad— just so long did every alderman and every council man wit bold from taking such active mea­sures ss are embodied in ibe order of Council­man Thomas, endorsed by all out three incut- ] b e lt of ibe city government.

Mayor Butler called to lhe ebair Alderman I Harrington who is chairman ol tbe upper boatd aio) be presided Ibrougbout Ibe long irsaion with grace, dignity and impailiably.

Tbe two hours in which lhe joint conven­tion sat behind closed doors were not devoted lo wrangling or heaping maledictions upon the head ol anyone, bul were spent in calm, dis­passionate deliberation, in which Ibe memiters vainly sought some plan to obviate tbe diffi­culty.

Mayor Butler from lime lo time took a hand in the discussion anil together with Alderman Porter, chairman of the building commission, gave a comprehensive statement of the fads. They agieed that the whole difficulty lay upen the technicality that we were exceeding tbe drbt limit as named in lhe constitutional law ; that in tbeir minds such lechnicalily did not really exist; that no one was being defrauded, but that available trust lunds were being used for an investment which the taxpayers are heartily applauding. W hile (be completion of the building calls for (2000 or even $3000 more than the available funds, as intimated by the writer in an article published in The Courier-Gazette before work on the building was actually begun, there was not one mo­ment’s time when it was ever intended to ask M r. Jones to pay a cent outside of tbe trust funds. It was purposed lo pay tbe smaller contracts and especially those where outside parties who might not understand the real •ituation were concerned, and then to pay the W . I l , Glover Co., which had the building ci ntract, so far as tbe condition of funds would allow. There was a stipulation in tbe contract wilb tbe him of Glover Co. to the efiect that it should wait for tbe remainder of its pay until next March when an incoming cilygovernmert coultlmake Ibe small appropri­ation necessary for the completion of thedebt's payment. The Glover Company asked simply interest at the rate of 3 ^ per cent.

W hen tbe bitcb in proceedings came and it was learned that M r. Jones would not pay the money called for in the W . IL Glover Co.’s draft, then the firm agreed to continue work on tbe building just as if nothing bad happened, only tbe regular rale of interest, 6 per cent, would be charged instead of the special rate of 3J0 per cent, which had been agreed upon. In short it tbe city would accept the building alter it was completed, the W . I I . Glover Co. was perfectly content to run the chances of get­ting its pay.

T his left the situation in a little happier frame, but what to do with tbe smaller con­tractors became the question. The Pauly Jail Co. of SI. Louis, Mo., bad shipped cells for lhe police station, the bill bail arrived and any moment lhe cells would be at tbe depot for delivery. There was money on hand sufficient to pay lor them ten times over and yet under the condition ul things the sity council was powerless to reach it.

W bat would tbe Pauly Jail Co. say when they learned that Ibe city o f Rockland, able lo float wbat few cities on earth is able to float— a 34 per cent bond— was not living up to i l l contract? W hat would the financial world, in which Rockland's credit shines like a glittering star, say? W hat was to he done should Treasurer Jones refuse Ibis final re­quest unless it were to place in his stead an official who would relieve the embarassing position in which the city ia placed?

Admitting for Ibe sake of argument wbal no member of the city council is willing to admit,

that the city’s course is wrong, reference was made to the McLain School Building, con­tracted for in one administration, and not paid lor within $14,000 up to the end of another year, and by another city govern­ment.

The only kick or only tronhle which anyone ever expctienced came from a few lax payers who didn't like lhe burden they felt it imposed. In this instance even that kick cannot come for there will he no burden whatever to the tax payer save the fzooo or 83000 that must he paid next year. This would he so infinitesimally small that the amount of increase in a very large (ax would be the smallest fraction of a mill. Not in the tax rate hut in tbe total tax.

The foregoing represents in brief the dis­cussion carried on under cover of the esecu­live sessirn.

But the session came lo an end and the city government was no farther from being relieved of a painful duty than it had been before it waa discussed so exten­sively. The meraneis, however, feel that they understand their ground better and are to a man prepared to back their aclion.

Whether M r. Jonea w ill now consent to honor the city government’s request, or whether he will resign, or whether it w ill be necessary to cause his removal ia not definite­ly known at this writing, but there are none who hope more sincerely than tbe members of tbe city government that he will conclude to pay.

11 is ability as a treasurer is everywhere recognized as well as his reputation as an up­right ntan, courteous,affable and generoui to a fault. ___________________

NAS MANY TROUBLES

T h « W tocaM et A Q u eb ec R a ilr o a d AjpUn a t •H m —I a jn n c t lo a A sk e d .

The Wiscaraet& Quebec Railroad Company on Friday last was served with a petition for injunction to restrain it from paying over bonds and stock to Hon. Charles D. Haines o f New York on the contract for completion o f its road and also for the appointment of a receiver.

The petition is returnable at Augusta N o r. 23 before any justice of the 8. J. court. The complainants are Thomas A. Rowe and David H all of Boston and Joseph P. Tucker o f W is­casset is also mentioned as an orator in the bill.

The bill of complaint is a long document and alleges that General Manager Fogg "by coersion and intimidation controls the board of directors,” that he is •*without railroad ex­perience.” That Hon. Charles D . Haines has no financial responsibility, and is unable to perform his contract, and that the bonds agreed to be paid him is an excessive amount. That the company is hopelessly insolvent. That the directors and officers are not in ac­cord.

The bill is dated Oct. 9, 1897. Since that date the corporation has held its annual meet­ing and both M r. Rowe and M r. Tucker have been dropped from the board of directors by a rote of 1375 *° 274 shares. The filing of this petition closely follows the action of the stockholders.

In the meantime since the date of the bill, work under the Haines contract has been rap­idly going forward, three miles of track above Albion has been laid and blasted and a sub­contract has been let for the grading between Burnham and Pittsfield, bridges nought and everything apparently going on smoothly and rapidly.

President Card said:— ‘‘This is simply another eflort to wreck the road and ruin some of us who have stood by it. I t won't succeed, however, and it don’t frighten anyone.”

Gen. Manager Fogg was called upon and said concerning the situation, “ I greatly re­gret the foolish and persistent hostility of those people. They appear willing to sacri­fice all interests including their own, if by so doing they can only injure me and my friends. W e shall find a way to take care of this wreck­ing attempt as we have heretofore taken care of others made by the same Rowe-Tucker Wilson combination.

The contract work is progressing satisfac­torily to the directors and the people The directors and officers are in entire accord and arrangements have been made with a great majority o f the company's creditors concern­ing their claims which relieves the company from much of the embarrassment that has heretofore surrounded it.

Treasurer Patterson said, “ The company’s annual report shows that during the past fif­teen months the road has about earned oper­ating expenses, we have bad a bard fight to sustain ourselves,but now seem to be in a way to succeed. 1 don't have any fear concerning the Rowe petition. The facts speak for them ­selves."

Mrs. Charles O . Tennis, a M aine woman,known to the stage as Miss Dora Wiley, begnn suit in the Wayne circuit court in D etroit the other day against Middleton & Wills, owners of “ In Atlantic City,” for >10,000 trespass in the case. She claims breach o f contract and slander by inuendo. The slander being, it is alleged, an adver­tisement in a dramatic paper, which in ti­mated that the manager had discharged her for cause. I t was in the wording of the advertisement that Mrs. Tennis took objections. After the performance the other night constables seized the scenery and effects of the company and a wild time was precipitated in which revolvers were drawn. The box receipts were also attached.

The Maine Central freight nouse at Fox- croft is still shuddering at its narrow escape from instant death one day .last week. I t seems that a package uf powder had been skipped in unloading a large quantity at the Foxcroft freight house. The powder was for a Guilford firm and the mistake was noi noticed until too late to go back to Foxcroft for it. The owner of the powder woke up early next morning and the idea popped into

head that the excelsior in which the pow dor had been wrapped and in which in all probability the missing package might be found, was left for kindling. H e jumped out of bed and in less time than it takes to tell it was on bis wheel scorching toward Foxcroft. H e got there just as a man was bunting for a

, autcb to light the fire and the powder was at that moment in the stove. A minute later

there would have been a dreadfuliC d d en t.

The other day a Portland tailoring estab- ament had a cosmopolitan batch of orders, succession as follows: One lor repairs on a it made in France, another made in Ger- tny, another in England, a fourth in Ire- id,and finally a suit made in Chicago.

W h y should this be the ease ?Beeanse they have neglected themselvesl Women

as a rule attach too little importance to first symp­toms of a certain kind. If they have toothache, they will try to save the tooth, though many leave even this too late. They comfort themselves with the thought th a t they can replace their teeth; hut they cannot replace their internal organs I

Every one of those patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warnings in the form of hearing-down feelings, pain a t the right or the left of the womb,nervous dyspepsia, pain in the small of the hack, *he “ blues,"or some other unnatural symptom, huttheydid not heed them.

Don’t drag along at home or in the shop until you are finally obliged to go to th e hospital and submit to horrible examinations and operations I Build up the female organs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will save you from the hospital. I t w ill’put new life into you.

The following letter shows how Mrs. Lyness escaped the hospital and a fearful operation. Her experience should encourage

other women to follow her example. She says to Mrs. Pinkham :

“I thank you very much for what you have done for me, for 1 had given up in despair

Last February, I had a miscarriage caused by overwork. I t affected my heart, caused me to have sinking spells three to four a day, lasting sometimes half a day. I could not be left alone. I flowed con­stantly. The doctor called twiea a day for a week, and once a day for four weeks,

then three or four times a week for four \ months. Finally he said I would have to un­

dergo an operation. Then I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and

after one week I began to recover and steadily improved until I was cured completely. By taking the Pinkham medicine, I avoided an operation which the doctor said I would certainly have to undergo.

Lewiston Sun— Eugene O'Connor, who has been a hall player, oarsman, sprinter, foot- ballis: a..J has dabbled in general in all kinds of sport, will star as 'one of the mag­nates in the newly organized Connecticut league. H ia career in that land w ill be watched with tome little interest down this way. Ma;or. Gen. O'Connor owned Rock­land for a few brief weeks one shott year ago. H e had a nice little knack o f enlightening the public ou the pleasing winter pastime but his head for executive ability was rather hollow and not a whit larger than a tack. When the Rocklands began to take that memorable trip on the tobog, O 'Connor in his attempts at elucidation was gently but firmly pushed aside by the majority owners.

Just 200 National League base bail games were won and lost by one run last season. The C incinnati. led in this respect, capturing the large number of 27 games, or more than one third o f their victories by that narrow margin. O f this number 19 games were won on the home grounds by one run, and but three lost. I t is interesting to note that six of the Cincinnati series were won and lost by one run, Cincinnati winning four games. Next to Cincinnati came the Pittaburgs, who won 21 games by one run, 13 on the home grounds. Philadelphia is third on the list with 20 games, i t on the home grounds. Twenly-one games were lost and won by one run on each the Philadelphia and Pittsburg grounds the past season. The Cbicagos lost mote games by one run than any other club, 23, closely followed by the .Phillies with 22, and the Wasbingtoni with 21. The B alti­more. lost the least number in this way, 11, and the Bostons but one more, 12. The Pittsburg club was the only one that won at least one game from every club by one run.

always a welcome guest at the great encamp ments of that splendid body ol men.

The lecture be is to give in Rockland ha- become famous all through the west and Chaplain Lozier it now lecturing in Canada where “ Apron Strings" has filled the largest auditoriums in that land of great auditoriums. “Apron Strings” is not a lecture in the ordi nary sense of the term, but rather an enter­tainment consisting of oratory, poetry, phil­osophy, song and wit of the brightest kind.

Chaplain Lozier gave his lecture before the general conference in Omaha, and it w as so enthusiastically received Ibat be was called to the city to repeat it in seven different churches and balls. Rockland is fortunate in having the privilege of hearing thia cele­brated entertainment.

Portland is threatened with an epidemic of diphtheria, but the health department is watcl - ful and, as in other places thus afflicted, everything possible i i done to prevent the spread ol the disease. Here is one of the places where we can easily see the progress made in the last hundred years. Just think of the probable condition of aflairain Maine Io day bad we no more restriction against the spread of an epidemic than were enjoyed by our forefathers.The Gardiner Improvement society has

I f every Maine town only had auch an improvement society as Gardiner possesses, indications ol tent caterpillars taking possession of the earth wouldn’t be so numerous next spring.

Says tbe Portland Express. “ Tbe sight of a young man going to school these mornings with his books under ore arm and a big bull dog-pipe projecting from bis moutb, is one ol tbe end of the century incidents that teach people that tbe youth of to-day is somewhat different from the one of ‘Ye olden timet.* "One would think so; but it is unfair to tbe youth ol to day to take tbe urchin mentioned as a sample. There were boys who were no honor to their friends even in tbe good old times.

Tbe good Deering women have discovered a dcw idea to entrap Ibe unwary. They bold what are called "penny suppers."

This scheme is in ­tended to increase tbe excitement and thereby tbe partakers appetite. A t one of Ibe suppers a n * Surgical Institu te, o f Buffalo, N .

A. P. Irving, superintendent of the Rock­land schools, had the following interesting communication in tbe last issue of the Maine Statesman:

A t your suggestion I ofler some ideas on the school laws. The last legislature passed about a dozen acts in relation to tbe public schools. A ll of these acts so far as I can now see are useful and progressive. The more important are those relating to the union of towns for hiring a superintendent who is not a member of the committee, to tbe closing of schools of less than eight pupils, to the re­duction of town school committees to three members and to the prohibition of a member ol a school committee teaching in his own town.

The article for the union of towns for pur­poses of supervision is new chiefly in offering state aid for the compensation of the union superintendent. A union of towns for this purpose was allowable before. The greater part of the leading educators of the state and many men on the town committee looks upon this law as a great means for thw advancement of ibe rural schools.

The superintendent of schools in a town is usually a merchant, lawyer, doctor or minis­ter, who from the love for the work is willing to devote his spare time to an oversight of the schools. Tbe town pays him a small sum from one to four hundred dollars for this work, which in nearly every case is by no means a fair compensation for tbe time and energy he expends. The result is that, being a conscien­tious man, be must derive the greater part of his compensation from the satisfaction of

People age quickly in this American Hie, and instance of preservation of youthful strength and vigor in mature years are pointed to as remarkable. We are educated to be­lieve in early decay of physical beauty and strength, especially in our women, and permit the decline to continue with a passing sigh. Most women have a worn look in the early twenties, the figure loses its roundness, the face the glow c f youth, and from that time on they age rapidly. A ll this is wrong and un necessary. Let everybody to whom this word may come, men and women alike, con­sult Dr. Greene, and learn from his great ex perience the cause of your trouble, and secure his invaluable advice. D r. Greene, discoverer of the famous Nervura, and many other wonderful remedies, invites consultation at his office, 34 Temple Place, Boston, Mass., either by personal call or by letter through the mail, and in either case he w ill give you advice absolutely free of all charge. This offer is for everybody, old and young, rich and poor, and thousands of happy people testify today to the practical nature o f the ex perienced advice of this great specialist and the marvelous curative power of his reme­dies. D on’t be satisfied to grow old"prem a- turely when the advice of this famous physi cian is at your disposal for the asking, wholly free of charge.

his compensation from the satisfaction of n a D \ / | A M I A khaving done his best to make good schools. r t5rV.t5Y I -y /X I 1̂ 1 9 This is ideal, but not practical. Very fewmen in any community can aflord to neglect their regular work for school work even if ihey are greatly interested in the progress of the children. If , as sometimes happens, the superintendent is a trifle lazy, content with small things and not up to date, the small sum of one hundred dollars or so paid for super vision bad better be put loto something else,

Under the new law some of these very men who are devoting a part of their time to supervision may be prevailed upon to give their whole time to the work so that their past usefulness can be greatly multiplied. Union or district supervision as it is called is very common in Massachusetts and is giving excellent results. Its adoption in M aine may be slow because the voters do not understand its advantages. A trial will convince all of the usefulness o f this plan.

As to tbe other new laws mentioned above no one familiar with our schools can be igno rant of tbe abuses committed in the name of education. These new laws are designed to remedy these evils and probably w ill do so.

In the line of new laws I would like tc have provision made for assisting and extend ing the efficiency of the state superintendent of school. Maine is a large state and there is a great amount of educational work to do. I t is physically and mentally impossible for one man to carry this load. Our present superintendent, M r. Stetson, travels as much and works as hard as any man we shall be likely to have. H e must be a very rugged man, if he can keep it up. I f there could be a state board of education, state agents or assistant superintendents, who could divide up the work and be in the field all of the time, conducting institutes and inspecting schools, lecturing and helping in any way, the state superintendent at the head of all this work could devote more of his time to the most important phases of education and the state would get better returns for its money.

Superintendent of Schools W . W . Stetson returned Monday from a week’s visit in V er­mont, where he visited schools and attended teachers’ meetings in all parts of the state. He spoke at Highland Pond, Canaan, Luner- burg and Bloomfield. H e finds that Vermont is in about the same condition, on the school question, as Maine, and they are wrestling with the question of improving the physical condition, and teaching force in the rural schools. M r. Stetson expresses himself as a champion of the vertical system of writing which has been adopted by the Augusta schools, because he thinks the system superior in many respects to the old style.

M r. Stets n will start out on a teachers’ in ­stitute tour, and will be at Caribou the 4'b and 5th, at Norridgewock the 9th and 10th, at Fryeburg the n th and I2 tb and at F a r­mington the n th and 13th.
