What apiece of work is man' how noble in reason! how infinite in faculties' in form anil moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god' the beautg of the world' the pa rag on of an i mo Is:—.S’ II IK KSI'EA IIK. How bountiful are the above lines uttered by the world’s great est mind! How inlinite the scope of man’s power if his faculties are well preserved. Nothing, short of creation, is to him impossible. Our soul is lost in admiration when we contemplate the possibilities of this greatest exhibition of Inlinite Power. Yet what is this “quint essence of dust” when blasted by disease—his noble functions per verted or destroyed As all men are born free and equal,” as far as moral rights are concerned, so likewise we hold they should be born physically, but as long as children must sutler for the sins of their parents this can not, be. That the human race has deteriorated physically is a conced ed question. To restore it is an impossibility, as long as people persist in immorality and indul gences which are in disregard of nature’s laws. The most we can do then is to ameliorate this con dition, and cure disease in indi viduals. To this end we offer to the pub lic, remedies which have done more good—accomplished better results in overthrowing disease than any others which have been discovered up the to present time, viz DR. FLOWER’S LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIVE, AND NERVE PILLS. The former is an infallible remedy for all affections rtf the Liver and Stomach, and is besides an invaluable general tonic. The latter is a reliable cure for all nervous diseases and conditions, such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness, Nervous Prostration, Depression caused by overwork, etc. These remedies are extensively prescribed by physicians, (a recom mendation which does not obtain with any other proprietary article,) and command at the hands of the druggists in New England a larger sale than any other medicine. IN HUNDREDS OF THOU SANDS OF BOTTLES SOLD, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE COMPLAINT THAT THEY FAILED TO DO WHAT IS CLAIMED FOR THEM. This we hold is an unparalleled record of success, and the strongest proof of their excellence. As positive evidence we have thou sands of testimonials which we will he pleased to show, but which ■pace prevents publishing. The trial of one bottle will be sufficient to satisfy you that we make no false claims. A valuable pamphlet will be mailed free upon applica tion.

The Woman Arrested Prores to the W ile of a Boston Police OScer—She Pleads Not Guilty and it Bound Orer. Bustos. Oct. 27. The woman under arrest at headquarter* since Saturday night in connection with the Baltimore conspiracy is Mrs. Emma Cool idge, wife of officer James E. Coolidge of the Boston police Her identity was concealed so carefully that even her husband was not aware of her arrest until this morning. This afternoon .Mrs. Coolidge was arraigned in the municipal court. Hon. James Bennett ap peared at her counsel. The charge against her, according to the warrant, reads, ‘-solic iting aid to commit murder She pleaded not guilty and was held in 85000 for her ap pearance for examination on Dec. 11. The case was disposed of very quietly and few spectators knew what hail transpired. Mrs. Coolidge looks very dejected and her eyes were red with weeping. She is a large wo man and fair looking. It appears that she visited Bose Cobb’s place on Norman street, where the plot was arranged three limes. Her husband had a short interview with her today, but she had little to say. She says she did not intend to let the murder be com mitted but wanted to get hold of the money, 81000, and keep it. She didn’t make a con fidant of her husband in the matter which throws a doubt upon the honesty of her claim. She also claims that she was dragged into it, but does not say how. The hukband knows nothing of the elder Mellen and says he has no idea how his wife became acquainted with him or was induced to enter the plot. He feels deeply grieved over the affair. He has been married about seven years, a little girl being the fruit of the union. The home is broken up and he iutends to put the child away. It is possible he may enter a suit against the police for the manner in which they treated their prisoner. The law says a prisoner cannot be held more than 24 hours, except on holidays or Sundays, without ar raignment. Mrs. Cuolidge was detained three days and not allowed to communicate with her husband or friends, although she desired to do it is alleged. Much sympathy is felt for her husband, who has the reputa tion of being a consciencious and faithful police officer. A despatch from Baltimore this afternoon states that Assistant District Attorney Dacey, Inspector Garraughty and John Donahue, alias “John Bull," of Boston, are in that city Donahue is the man who was ap proached, it is alleged, with a proposition to commit a murder. The man tu whom the dispatch was addressed and on account of which Mrs. Coolidge was arrested .Saturday night is A. L. Mellen, proprietor of the St. James Hotel, Baltimore, and the Boston officers are unable to find him. His son, wlio has been living in lodgings with his wife, refuses to believe the story. Baltimore, Oct. 27. Developements in the story started by the arrest in Boston of Mrs. Emma Coolidge tail to show any motive for a desire to mur tlie young wife of Edward L. Mellen of this city. It seems that about three years ago a bright English girl, Mary A. Somerset, se cured employment at the St. James Hotel, of which A. L. Mellen, father of Edward L., is proprietor. The young man formed an at tachment for her which resulted in the birth of an illegitimate child and the young people secretly lived together as man and wife for some time. Last spring they quarreled and were not reconciled until April 14. 1885, when Miss Somerset called at the St. jAiues and told the story to the mother of her se ducer, who immediately sent for a priest and insisted upon the two being married at once and they consented. Shortly after the St. •lames closed for the summer and Mellen, senior, took charge of the Stockton at Cape May, where the whole family remained un til the close of August when they returned to the St. James. About 15 days Mr. and Mrs. Mellen went to Cambridge and have not yet returned. They w ere list heard of at the St George Hotel in I’hilanelphia. Boston detectives are understood to be here for flu- purpose of arresting Mr. Mel len, but they refuse to bo interviewed. One of them said tonight that he knew the story sounded improbable hut the real motive for the desired murder was known only to him self and would r.ot be divulged until the chain of evidence was completed. Young Mellen admits the truth of the story but ridi cules the idea that there was any conspiracy on his father’s part and does not believe there wa%any scheme on foot to murder his wife. DESPERATE FIGHT Between n Settler mid Two Indiana— One of the Redskins Knocked Over nnd the Other Put to Flight. Moxdax, Dak., Oct. 27. A dispatch from Glenullen, 42 miles west of this point, says News is just received that James Gray, living alone four miles north of Glenullen, was attacked Thursday night by two Indians, who came to the house and asked for food. Having eaten all they desired, one of the Indians, a large and pow erful fellow, took down Gray’s repeating Winchester rifle, placed the muzzle to Gray’s breast and pulled the trigger Fortunately there was no cartridge in the barrel. He then put a cartridge in. whereupon Gray seized a whiffletree, and before the gun could be brought to bear upon him struck the In dian on the head. The gun was discharged, the bullet going into the side of the house. The rifle was dropped in the scuffle Then commenced a rough and tumble fight, both Indians taking part. Gray lost his hold of the whiffletree, caught up a carpenter's hatchet and struck the Indian nearest to him on the head Thi* blow felled him to the floor. The other Indian fled Gray seized the fallen Indian by the heels, and dragged him out and fastened the door. Whether the Indian was dead or not Gray was unable to say. Fridav morning a settler happened to go to Gray's house, and found him in bed, badly bruised and scratched and scarcely able to raise himself. Gray says that the Indian that fled came back during the night and carried away hi* companion. A Reception Given Teenier. Pittsbcbg, Pa Oct. 27. John Teemer, champion oarsman, arrived at his home in McKeesport this evening and j teniered a reception by over 3000 people at the Palace Rink. The address of welcome was made by Rev. Mr. Schoae and in re-; sponse E H. Hayes made a few fitting re- f marks. In an interview Teemer said he could beat Hanlan again if necessary. That race was a square one, and that accident at the turning buoy had no effect on the result. Teemer further said that the next roan he de sired to meet was Beach and he had every confidence in his ability to outrow the Aus tralian. Kx*Gov. Page’s Funeral. Rctlawd, Vt., Oct. 27. The funeral of ex Gov. J. B. Page was held at the Congregational church this after noon, Rev. J. G. Johnson and Rev. C. C. McIntyre officiating. The schools and fac tories were closed and business generally suspended. WARD’S TRIAL. BcbJ. Fish. Payiac leller ot the Sarin Baalt, on the Staad. New You*. Oct. 27. The trial of Ferdinand Ward waa returned Tuesday morning. Ulyssea S. Grant, Jr., and Geo. E. Spencer, cashier of the firm of Grant Ward, occupied the usual aeau by the jury box. Ex-President Jas. D. Fish of the Marine Bank was accompanied to court; by a detective. Benj Fish, paying teller, was recalled to the stand, and Ward listened to him atten tively as he read off the amount of deposits made by himself and the firm of Grant Ward. In his testimony paying teller Fish said: “On April 26, ’84, Grant Ward had a balance of $46,000, and on the morning ol Mav 2d the balance was $804,702. On May 2d Ward was raising money for the bank. [By the consent of the counsel, the sheets from which these statements were given by the witnesses were admitted as evidence thereby excluding the testamentary evidence in regard to the over drafts.] Grant Ward had two accounts. Ward had an individual account and drew against all three. [The sheets of accounts were also admitted as evidence] Ward had spoken to the witness about the purpose of his special account, but the testimony on that point waa ruled out upon objection and the witness was excused. Samuel I>. Cornell, book-keeper of the First National Bank tor the past 21 years, was the next witness. He kept Ward's ac count, he said, on May 2, 3 and 5 of 1884. His balance on May 1. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 was $221,338. There were no deposits made on either of these days. The amount was paid to the receiver of the Marine Bank on Oct. 15, and the account was closed. Ward's ac count was opened in Jun*, 1881. Three checks drawn by Ward came through the Clearing House on the morning of May 6th to the amount of $215,000. Janes I). Kish was then recalled and iden tified a number of letters which had passed between himself and Ward The witness said “It is not true that my bank had been in financial difficulty since January, 1882, and that Ward kept helping to save it. We pressed Ward to return to us the money w hich he and his firm had borrowed Mr. Fish was examined at length upon the meaning of these letters, and also upon the testimony given bv him upon his own trial in the United States court. Mr. Fish continued: “On May 5th, I had no doubt that we could have gotten relief from other banks had the government con tracts been true as I believed them to be. A refusal to certify Grant Ward’s checks would have caused rumors which would have broken them up, and then our bank would be forced down. I am now staying at Mur ray Hill Hotel, and I believe the district at torney resides there also. We have had fre quent talks together, but not upon this case.” On the re-direct examination Fish said “I knew of Ward in 1876 and was personally acquainted with him in the summer ol 1877. January 1st. 1882, I was associated in busi ness with him in the firm of Grant Ward, the latter also conducting the business. In January or February, 1882, there was a change in the relations between the Marine Bank and Grant Ward. Ward told me then that the business of Grant Ward would be changed that they would give up the stock business and through the influence of Gen. Grant, Senator Chaflee, Stephen B. Elkins and others they had been offered gov ernment contracts for corn, hay, feed, etc., and if Gen. Grant received the nomination for the Presidency the business would be more lucrative.” Want’s counsel moved to strike out all about Gen. Grant. “It was my hope," saitl the counsel, “that the dead hero's name would not be dragged into this case anti that he would be allowed to rest quietly in his grave.” “I have had enough of that,” said Judge Barrett. “The name mentioned is not besmirched at all and the evidence given is Competent.” Fish continued “While in Cuba in Feb ruary, 1882, 1 received a letter from Wanl stating that he had procured government or tiers in which he hoped to make a profit of $150,000, hut did not wish it known as it might injure the prospects of the General in securing his pension, and then he would not act with the firm. In order to raise money to fill these so-called orders, notes were made by Grant and Ward, endorsed by me, anil discounted at the Marine bank or other places. Ward told me the money was used to buy beef, corn, wheat, etc, with which to supply the government with orders as given. The special account of Grant and Ward kept at the bank, related only to government ac counts, Ward stating that the business would be so large that it would he as well not to mix up the moneys received from it with the general account of the firm. I received a letter dated March 5. 1882,from Ward stating that he would need money to supply the gov ernment with a large number of bushels of oats for out of town stations.” Fish continued: tin May 2, 1884, the firm of Grant Ward owed the bank a larire sum and I urged Ward to bring securities to re lieve me. He brought me some on Friday and said snappishly “now I hope you are sat isfied You have here between fourteen and fifteen hundred thousand.” These went into thfl vault and I have not eeen them since. On May 5th, by mv consent, Ward obtained a large amount of securities, on which to realise for the bank I never got the secu rities hack nor was any check returned to represent any loan raised. On the night of May 5th, I waited up all night, expecting to receive the moneys and checks from him. I went to his house at 7 A. M. the next day and waited vainly th see him until 3 o’clock. “Was that the end of your acquaintance with Ward?” "fsot quite. 1 had conversation with him since about the bank transactions. He came to see me at my rooms over the bank, three or four days alter the failure and said he couldn't help it. He said I had been his best friend. I told him that by his deception and treachery he had ruined me, mv family and the bank, and had destroyed the reputation that I had been 25 years in building. In my indignation I raised a chair and he crouched on the floor, crying ‘don’t hurt me.’ I told him if he were not such a contemptible, sneaking, hypocritical sneak that I could kill him. He crouched on the floor like a whipped cur. I told him he better commit suicide so that the world would be rid ot his presence.'’ Ward smiled sarcastically as Fish describ ed the scene. The examination of Fish then closed. Receiving Teller Carr of the Marine Bank was then sworn He said “On the morn ing of May 5. Ward deposited with me a check for (150,000, signed by Wm. II. Van derbilt. He asked me to withdraw a check of (80,000, saying a check drawn against it would not be presented. I refused, but Fish bade me hold it and treat it as a deposit. Tbe (80,000 check came back on the afternoon of the tame. Ward came in with a check for (71,800 on one occasion.” Adjourned. A mass meeting was held at New fork Tuesday night by the county democracy to ratify the state and county nominations. WASHINGTON NEWS. Cleveland Tired of Ofice Seekers—Going Home to Vote—Seeking an Appoint* ment—Naval Hatters. Washington, Oct. 27. The following was to<l»v promulgated by the President for information of the public Executive Mansion, Oct. 27. For nearly eight months a large portion of the time of the President has been devoted to the hearing of applications for office and the i determination of appointments. Much of the time thus spent has undoubtedly subserved the public good. Some of it has been sacri ficed to the indulgence of people in their nat ural insistence upon useless interviews and some of it has been unjustifiably wasted. The public welfare and a due regard for the claims ol those whose interest in the govern ment are entirely disconnected with office holding, imperatively demand that in the future the time of the President should be diflerently occupied, and he confidently ex pects all good citizens will acquiesce in the propriety and reasonableness of the following plan adopted to that end After the first day of November the President will decline to grant interviews to those seeking public po sitions, or their advocates. Oil Mondavs. Wednesdays and Fridays, on that month, from 10 to 11 in the morning, he will receive such other persons, as call, on strictly public business, and on the tame days at 1.30 P. M., he will meet those who merely desire to pay their respects. On all other days and time's he will receive only cabinet officers aBd heads of departments. It is said at the White House this afternoon that the President will leave Washington Sunday evening and proceed direct to Buf falo, where he will cast his vote for the dem ocratic State ticket, and then return direct to Washington, arriving here Wednesday evening or Thursday morning, lie will prob ably make the journey alune. Secretary Manning, who votes in Albany, will probably leave here Saturday night, and Secretary Whitney, who votes in New York City, will probably leave Monday. “Hole in the Day," a great grandson of the famous Chippewa chief of that name, is in the city with Minnesota influence, to se cure from the President an appointment to West Point when a vacancy occurs. He is young, tall and straight, and of very prepo sessing personal appearance, with but little to suggest Indian blood in his veins. He was at the war department today and made a very favorable impression upon the officers. The assignees of John Koach held a confer ence this afternoon with Secretary Whitney and the naval advisory board, with reference to the completion of the new cruisers. The vessels are to be completed by the navy de partment, at the contractor's yards and by his workmen,and the meeting today was to make arrangements for going on with the work. SPORTING. THE TURF.

He also estab lished an American professional record for one hour, covering 20 miles. 285 yard. IN TROUBLE. Mm. J. Best of the Collapsed Pacific Hank Arrested for Embezzlement. Boston, Oct. 27. Wm. J. Best, financier, who was prom inently connected with the affairs of the col lapsed Pacific Bank in this city, was arrested in New York today, charged with embezzle ment of 875,000. The will of the late Francis W. Carruth left a fund of 875,000, the income of which was to go to his son, W. W. Carruth. Before the Pacific Bank failed young Carruth borrowed 870.000 from the bank on his pe-sonal note and as security for the loan transferred to the bank the income of the fund. After the first failure of the bank Best, a« expert, w as placed in practical charge of the bank’s affairs. When receiver Price took charge of the wreck he found this note and its security with no record of any payment by Best. He tried to obtain something out of Best, but the latter kept out of his reach. Young Carruth applied to the probate court for Best’s re moval which was granted and Chas. B White was appointed. He tried to secure an accounting from Best, but he was unsuccess full. Evidence was strong that Beat had used a portion of the securities in specula tion and had sold the remainder outright. Upon this evidence the case was brought be fore the grand jury and an indictment was found and he was today taken into custody. Chief Inspector Hanscom left New York to night for Boston with the prisoner. THE INDIANAPOLIS COUNT. The Democrats Break Open a Ballot Bot and Destroy Some of the Ballots. Ixdianapolis, Ind., Oct 27. This forenoon the court haring failed to make an order regarding the democratic claim for re-examination of the ballots in the aldermanic recount and the republican commissioner protesting and refuting to give up the key to the box the democrats took a hatchet and broke open the box. It is re ported that they burned what was required to give Rigley, democratic candidate, two ma jority. The republicans looked on but took no part in the proceedings. Judge Ayres is out of the city and what action he will take is not known. Last night the recount was completed, giving the republicans one ma jority, but the democratic commissioner de manded the right for further examination of certain ballots. FOREIGN NEWS A DENIAL. Not England that Incited the People to the t'nion. St PKTExstirno. Oct. 27. The Jiorve Vremya publishes an interview which it* correspondent at Philipopolis had with the Bulgarian premier. M. Karanlofl He denied that Bulgaria had anv agreement with England or Austria before the Koume lian revolution respecting the union of Bul garia, hut that they acted on their own re sponsibility in taking the initiative in bring ing about the union. “If there was any instigation in the mat ter,” said the Premier, “it was Kussia whose consul general at Philippopolis first agitated the union and helped to start a newspaper at Philippopolis devoted to the case of union with Bulgarian money. When I entered the ministry, believing the game dangerous, I stopped the subsidy of the Bulgarian govern ment to the newspapers, and also forbade meetings of unionists in Bulgaria." M. Karanlofl reaffirmed the statement that Prince Alexander had notified Kussia of the eflorts of Koumelia to unite with Bulgaria and that Koumelia was willing to continue Turkish suzerainty. In conclusion the Bul garian Premier said, “If Turkey declares war we alone are able to raise Maroedonia in three days. A European war is none of our business and we are not alarmed at the arma ment of Greece as her army is far from being terrible.” THE ARMSTRONG CASE. Trial ol Mr. stead. Editor of the Poll Mall Gazette. London, Oct. 27. The trial of Mr. Stead, editor of the Pall Mall Gaze'tee, and other defendants in the Armstrong abduction case, was resumed Tuesday at the central criminal court before Justice Lopes, and a discussion between the counsel arose respecting portions of the tes timony ol Mrs. Ann Broughtoni taken Mon day. Reference was had to the notes of Jus tice Lopes, which confirmed the notes of the jury that Mrs. Broughtoni declared yesterday that Mrs. Armstrong said she would never let her daughter for immoral purposes. Mr Stead paid l)r. Smith three guineas for the examination of Kliza, which waa in tended for Stead's protection. Mr*. Jarrett was in bed—awake in the bedroom at the same time.

A Discharged Patient Gives a Might Idea ol the Treatment Patients Receive at the Hands ol the Hospital Officials. Montreal, Oct. 27. The statement of Mrs. 1). R. Boland, daughter-in-law of a leading Methodist clergy man, and who has just been discharged from St. Roche’s smhll pox hospital, is published here this forenoon, and discloses a revolting slate of affairs in that institution. The doctors gave her no professional attention, and very little nursing is done except by convalescent patients. The cries of the patients for water are often heart-rending, ami only met by the response “shut up.” The stencil is revolting, and there is no attempt at deodorizing. No attention is ever given those sent to the black small pox ward The cries that come from that awful place are frightful She mentions a case in which the doctor, when entreated, would give no relief to the patient, and the died unattended. The place is said to he in fested with vermin, and a committee of doctors has inspected the hospital, which will probably be burned and all the patients re moved to the Morm and Royal hospital.

Swing wrote a letter Mar. 24th last to the Clermont County Courier of Batavia, O., in regard to the statements which have been made from time to time about the political relations which existed be tween President Andrew Johnson and Gen. Grant The Courier publication has been reproduced and practically agrees in ail the msterial points with the statement in the re cent letter of Depew. The (acts were given to Swing and to his father, Judge Philip B Swing of the United States Court, by Gen. Grant, who was a personal friend of the family. The Ohio Election Case. Cincinnati, Oct. 27. The mandamus case,brought by the repub lican candidate for the Senatora ill Hamilton county, the counsel for county clerk having for the time abandoned his plea, was Tuesday before the circuit court, for the jurisdiction of the court. A motion was entered to com pel the Senators to make their petition more definite and certain. The court granted the motion, and further proceedings were stayed until an amendment can be made. Injunction Modified. Bouton, Oct. 27. In the Supreme Court today Judge Allen modified the injunction iaaued againat the Framingham Savinga Bank laat month,where by it waa enjoined from tranaacting anv buai neaa. From the form of the modified injunc tion it would appear that the bank can do all ita ordinary boaineaa except the paying of money to depoaitora.

Have new pre.ae,, large .piantltlea of pHper .tock, and the fates*.’vlea of type. Orders by mall will receive prompt attention Tho registration in Boston shows a total of .07,122, a falling off ot 7000 from the registration in 1888, the year of the last Butler gubernatorial campaign. It ex ceeds the registration of any previous year, however. The study of the drink question in Switzerland brings out some interesting facts. It is fountl that, alcohol is most largely consumed in the cantons where wages are lowest ami the people are the poorest. That is to sav, overwork, expo sure ami insufficient food drive the people to strong drink. Instantaneous photography, which af fords a good deal of amusement to ama teurs, is put to practical use by some of the French Banking establishments. When thp honesty of an unknown customer is doubted a private signal is given to the cashier,ami a concealed camera is brought to bear on the face at the paying teller’s desk. The visitor leaves an excellent pic ture of himself at the bank. American banks mav find here a useful hint. The arrest of the London forger, Giles or Gooch, shows that patient perseverence in the detective business brings its reward as in other trades or professions. It was known that the man lived at some No. 79 in New York city. As every one knows, there are a good many No. 7‘.t's in New Y’ork. but a Deputy United States Mar shal, after persistent inquiry, found the fugitive at No. 79 Macdougal street. It. is curious to note that he found an other Gooch at another No. 79 who was not the forger. John McCulloch, tho tragedian, with his face apparently glowing with heatlh, his figure nearly as lull as ever before, but with a puzzled look in his large blue eyes, was brought to bis home in Philadelphia, Monday, to die. Since the attack of con vulsions, three weeks ago. Mr. McCul lough has lost the power ot speech because ot a paralysis of his larynx. He has lost, too, the power of recognizing his friends He is quite harmless, childish, unable to gaasp at any idea. His death will be a matter of a few days or-weeks. New Y’ork republicans are confident that the State ticket will be elected next week and hopetul of a victory iti New York city for their local candidates. Every one of the men on the republican ticket is equal to the person named against him, and, as a body, are greatly superior to tho candi dates of either democratic faction. If they receive tho support they are entitled to they will be electod and a long step will l>e taken toward moving the municipal government from bad hands. There cer tainly will be a large vote in New Y’ork city. The registration numbers 215,898 names, which is heavier than in 1882, when it was 196,182, or in 1888, when 182.951 voters qualified. Here is another hit at Chicago beef. Dr. Detmar. of the National Society ot Microscopists, in tho course ot an investi gation as to the cause of death of several people in Momence, 111..who had eaten it. made an analysis of several hundred sam ples of meat from cattle slaiightcnai in Chicago in a terror-stricken condition..and tound the meat affected by the frenzied condition of the animals immediately pre ceding their death, wherefore people are warned t beware of eating beef from confined cattle. Strange if it should turn out that even after death the cruelly slaughtered animals can still exact some retribution of their tormentors. This year the week of praver tor young men and young women’s Christian asso ciations. which has been annually observed ever since it was recommended (in 1866) by the International Convention, will be gin on Sunday. November 8. There is something very suggestive of the real homogeneity and power of Protestantism in the number of young men's Christian associations and the vastness ot the field they occupy. There aw 2900 ot these societies tor Christian effort throughout the world, of which 984 aw in North America, 508 in (iwat Rritian, 549 in Ger many, 896 in Holland. 268 in Switzerland. 72 in France, and thev reach into all other countries of the Eastern hemisphere, whew the flag of a Christian nation gives protection to religious liberty. Deposite the loud and virtuous protests of this Democratic Administration that it would not hurt a fly, much less John Roach and the thousands ot mechanics who were employed by him, there are at least 8,000 men in this country who know better. These are the same workingmen whom this same Democratic Administra tion turned oat of Roach's shipyards when thev forced a veteran shipbuilder to make an assignment for political effect. This is not mere campaign talk. The foremen of the different shops and yards, who knew the mechanics and laborers well, speak tor them, and tell a pitifnl tale of misery and want. It is easy enough to say that these men might find work else where. Some of them have—in sweep ing the streets. There is, of course, no place for them in other shipyards. If re sults like this prove that the Democratic Administration is friendly to the working man and careful of his interests, then we do not understand the logic of plain facts. A Touching Incident. An incident occured recently in one of the police court* of Chicago, in which a little street boy'* devotion to bis drunken mother wa* touchingly shown. A woman had been picked up in a state of intoxicalion and carried to a police station, where she spent the night The next morn ing she was arraigned before the magistrate. Clinging to her uttered gown were two children, a boy and a girl, the former only seven years of age, but made prematurely old by the hardships of his wretched life. Five dollars and costs." said the judge sternlv. Seven dollars and sixtv cents in all." Instantly the little fellow started up, anil taking his sister's arm he cried out, "Come on, we's got to git that money or mam'll hev to go jail Jest wait, Mr. Jedge, and we’ll git it!” The ch.ldren hurried out of the court-room, and going from store to store solicited con tributions to "Keep mam from going to jail.” the hoy promising every giver to return the money as soon as he could earn it. Soon he came running back into the court-room, and laying a handful of small change on the magistrate’s desk, exclaimed "There’s two dollars, Mr Jedge, and I can’t git no more now. I ain’t as bigas mam, anil I can’t do as much work hut if you’ll jist let me go to jail ’stead of her, I’ll stay longer to make up for it." The bystanders wiped their eyes and a policeman exclaimed: "Your mother shan’t go to jail, my lad, if I have to pay the fine myself.” "I will remit the fine,” sai l the judge, and the woman, clasping her boy in her arms, sank upon her knees and solemnly vowed that she would lead a better life and try to be worthy of such a son as that.— Winslow's Month ty. A Mormon Bishop Bishop Cannon, who is leading the Mormon revolt against the United States authorities, j is one of the most powerful men in the Mor- mon church. He was a delegate from that Territory to Congress until practising polyg i amists were forbidden to hold office. He has been here every winter and has had control of what is known as the Mormon lobby at Washington He is next to the head of the church and in time will be the successor to i Tavlor. who succeeded Brigham Young. He is a short man with a very stout figure. He 1 is thick through the chest, his shoulders are very broad. His legs are not in proportion to the size of his trunk. His head is very large and quite round. His hair is gray and thin upon the top He is always smooth shaven. His face is very high-colored and double-chinned. His eyes are a pale blue, watery and bulging. They have what is called the peeled-oniun expression. His nose is a square-based hook. He is one of the most enthusiastic of fanatics. He was born in Utah, anil has imbibed Mormonism from his very birth. He sincerely believes that martyrdom is necessary for the future pros perity of the Mormon church. He has coun selled his people to first resist by strategera the attempt of the government to suppress polygamy From his character and talk I am certain that he will stop at nothing where his religion is sssailed. 1 have heard him say ovtr and over again that the Morm >ns would never give up polygamy, and that no power on earth could compel them to so do.

It becomes more probable every day that the electric light will be introduced here for public use at an early day. An agent of a firm is now canvassing the city witii a view to obtaining patronage, in case a plant is placed here. The power would be obtained at the dam. a special water wheel being used for the purpose. It would require a 21X1 horse-power wheel to furnish all the electric itv required. Some one lias suggested that the shw mill at the east end of the dam would be a convenient place to locate the works We learn that J. T. Jones, who recently served out a term in Hnulton jail for fraudu lently soliciting subscriptions for various periodicals, is again at his old tricks He has been in Waldo and Knox counties of late, and wherever he appears, those who happen to meet hint will serve justice a good turn bv securing his arrest as a swindler. He lias received subscriptions for the Portland Transcript without authority from the pub lishers. Money should never be paid to strangers, on any account, until they show their authority to receive it, as all honest •collectors are able and ready to do. This evening Peek's Had Hoy with all his tricks ami mischievousness will appear in Granite Hall,with his “Pa He is extenie ly laughable. The play, a dramatization of the famoils Had Hoy sketches of Mr. Geo. W. Peck, editor of the Milwaukee Sun, has been entirely re-written for this season, and is now one of the most comical and entertain ing plays on the stage. Nothing but pure innocent fun prevades the piece from be ginning to end—there is an entire absence of any ot the coarse broad jokes or so-called slang of the day. The Bad Bov, although called had. has a good heart, and is really one of the best boys to be found. “'Ve. the undersigned, lumber operators in the State of Maine, appreciating the im portance of the suggestions contained in the circular recently issued bv the State Board ot Health, regarding the danger of introduc ing sniall-p i\ int the camps,do hereby agree to employ no man in the wood* the coming "inter unless lie lias recently been vaccinat ed The foregoing agreement lias been signed by nearly all the lumber operators in the State. Many have posted up notices through our state ami eastern part of Canada, stating that their men must he vaccinated before they will be employed. It is better for those "ho intend working in the woods to have themselves vaccinated before going in. Recently four young tnen ot this city drove to Mt. Vernon on a hunting expedition. One the number possessed two bird dog* which he prized very highly. These were allowed to tag along in the rear of the nimrods. The training of the canines must have been badly neglected for they were unable to distinguish partridge or a woodcock from a farmer's Poultry and on the route to the hunting grounds, the animals called at several farm houses. snapped up several fat pullets by the neck and carried them off. The result was that on the nimrods' return they were halted several times and presented with bills for poultry killed by the dogs. Several days af ter their hunting trip one of the hunters was caded upon by a Mt. Vernon farmer residjpg on a cross road and asked to pay for a turkey which had been bitten by the dogs.

I COSSUttAnOMI CmiBCHE*. ■rml-Ao.n.l M. t, .f th« K.»«b«« Confercaec*. The .emi-annual meeting of the Kennebec and Somerset conferences of Congregational chnrchea convened in the Granite church chapel, this city, at 10.30 A. M., yetterday. The attendance was very fair, every church but one or two being represented. Quite a cumber ot people were alto present from this city. Rev. R.W.Jenkins of Gardiner waa choaen moderator and Rev W. C. Curtis, Richmond, The meeting opened with a praise and prayer servive, Rev. J. T. Hawea of Litcb neifi offering prayer. A roll-call of delegates present followed. Reports from the churches were received. Rev A. F. Skeele and Mr. J. R. Townsend .poke for the Augusta church. Since the conference last .June twentv-four new mem bers have united with the church, the re sult of meetings previously held. Two mis sion Sabbath school* have been maintained, numbering combined about ninety members’ These have brought about an additional at tendance at the meetings and several have professed c inversion. Rev. Mr. Skeele said one of the most encouraging things tome is the increased interest and attendance on our prayer meeting.; and the voung people are interested, many of them; alto the ladie.. Ve have a verv flourishing young peoples’ meeting held every Sunday evening before the regular service It is led by young people. Mr. Skeele presented a topic card to the meeting and read from it. Not much change waa reported from Gar diner, fine difficulty in that city is that the church doe* not own a parsonage and it is very difficult to keep a pastor on this account. I he present paator has moved three times, and expects to move agsin within six months Rev.Mr.Jenkins thought that there would he no parsonage “as long as we rejoice that we are in debt.” One very ph asing feature is the ladies’ meeting. The Sabbath school i« prospering, there being an average attendance of over 100 One of the Gardiner delegates objected to summer vacations. Rev. Mr. Chase spoke fo** Hallowell We dedicate our church to-morrow afternoon af ter waiting several years The spiritual condition of the church is good One new member has joined the church; have reason to rejoice that we have an ele gant house of worship. We sustain a neigh borhood prayer meeting, not a church meet ing. It goes all over the citv from house to house, lias been held over a year and a half and proved very profitable. In temp »ral tilings we have reason to be satisfied. We are in no greater debt than one year ago. and a gr. at deal of money has been spent, while ttie church is entirely completed We pro pose in the future to go forward in the old way,and meet for the fir*t time, in the new church, next Sabbath. I do not think, how ever, that we shall gain any greater blessing than in the building where we have met these past seven years. Rev. J. T. Hawes spoke for Litchfield and said Our members are few and our congre gation* small, not numbering over *»5 on the average Our prayer meetings are not large. What is particularly gratifying to me is the flourishing condition of our Sabbath school There is much interest in the school and a large attendance. Preaching does not seem to influence many to join the church. Mr. Hawes thought the drowning of a young man at a picnic in his town had brought about much seriousness in his community I think we have many young people who should come into the church Although the church at Monmouth is a feeble one it seems to he vigorous. There have been ten additions to the congregation during the year and the Sabbath school is doing well The little church V tssalboro is progress ing It now number* forty-seven member*, four new ones having been added. The Sab bath school numbers forty-five, with three bible classes. For a month past there has, perhaps, been a little losing in spiritual strength. The church at Skowbegan numbers 200 members. The pastor is faithful, sincere and earnest in his labors. The church is well filled on the Sabbath, and the evening prayer meetings are well attended. The Sabbath school is in good condition and last Sunday 135 reported at the sc hool. We have a lack of young men in attendance. Rev. K. N. Smith of Waterville said: There is not the spiritual condition in our church there ought to be. The young peo ples' meeting is in a very flourishing condi tion What is remarkable, that out of 22 Freshmen at Colby, 7 have chosen to attend the Congregational church. I am looking forward to a profitable winter’s work. In Richmond the church is in good condi tion considering its sixe. It is nearly out of debt, and has a very good building. The peo ple there have been very generous in supply ing the wants of the church The fact that the Universalists had established a mission in Richmond, and drawn away several who had been in the habit of attending the church, was referred to. Afternoon. The afternoon meeting opened with a brief exercise of praise and prayer led by Rev. R. VV. Jenkins of Gardiner. Rev, E N. Smith of Waterville. conducted an exercise for the study of the Sunday school lesson for November 1st, 2 Kings 13; 14-1 j. First Topic—Elisha's last sickness; all must die. The mourner’s about Elisha's death bed, sorrowful because of the loss of the prophets as a defence of Iseral 2nd Topic—The test of Elisha’s power. The fail ure of the King to apreciate the necessities of Iseral in her extremities. 3d Topic—Elisha’s last miracle. Though dead he still lives. 4th Topic—Elisha's last prophecy fulfilled. Iseral destroyed. Faithfulness of God to his promises. At 3 o’clock the subject, •‘Christian Training of Young People,” was taken up Rev. Mr. Skeele thought the training should be of a positive Christian character Rev J. 11. Hawes said it was a question of i woman's rights. There is a serious want of j Christian training in the home. Mothers can do more than anybody else to give their chil dren a Christian character. Nor would he 1 exempt the fathers. The Christian training of young people, was the next subject before the conference. 1st. At home. Mr. R. W. Jenkins spoke briefly of the necessity of training the children at home in a Christian sense. This mark should not be left to outside agencies. Second, Training in the Sunday school. This part of the topic was introduced by Rev. I). V. French. There must be a heart pur pose in Sunday School training. The instruc tion should be spiritual not alone interlectuai. Mr. Bradbury of Waterville, spoke of the importance of Christian training in the Sun day School. There are many homes where there is no Christian teaching Rev. J. T. Hawes made interesting remarks upon this topic. Third, In the church. J. M. Larrabee said the training should be natural. To per severe in adversity as well as in prosperity. Rev. Mr. Redlon followed with earnest words for teaching young people to regard the church as an important agency in doing God’s work in the world. Fourth, Elsewhere. This was discussed by Rev. W C. Curtis of Richmond. In our schools give them as far as possible Christian teaching. Guard them in their associations. Lead them to respect piety in the world. Evening. In the evening Rev. J. B. Hawes delivered V._aormnn in the church. god Rev. Edward Chase. 4 t» Okuta a Comaatailsa of ftcwiuaee. Daniel Wilkiaaon, the Bath murderer, through hii counsel, Herbert M. Heath, has petitioned the Governor and Council to com mute his sentence of desth, which is to be carried out on the 20th of November, unles( clemency is extended, to imprisonment for life. 1 he reason assigned why be should re ceive mercy is that while he might be techni cally guilty of murder in the first degree, the killing was not of that cold blooded character which should consign the man to the gallows. Rev. Frederick Tower, the Episcopal clergy man at Thomaston, and one of the chaplains at the State Prison, although a strong advo cate of capital punishment, favors a commu tation of sentence for Wilkinson if it is also granted to Blanev and Mrs. Barrows, and it is stated that he will ofler a petition to that effect, signed by himself and others. It is contended by some of those favoring mercv for W'iikinson. that while the Barrows mur der was of the most diabolical type, having been premeditated, ami committed in a most inhuman manner, Wilkinson killed his man on the spur of the moment, when his life was endangered; and it would not be fair to give Blanev and his companion the sweet boon of life while the Englishman hung for a crime of lesser degree. A special meeting of the Governor and Council, on Nov. 5th, has been called, to give a hearing in the matter. The Governor has not signed the papers commut ing Blaney's sentence, and he cannot receive clemency without the Executive signature. 6ARIII1ER. Rev. Mr. Gledhill will commence his duties as pastor of the Universalist churches at this place and Hallowell in about three weeks He will occupy the Judge Palmer house on Pleasant St. He will preach at Hallowell in the forenoon and Gardiner in the afternoon.
