Congress dill not omit to make appro priations for the maintenance of the em ployes at the Charlestown and Kittery navy yards as lias been reported. Frank Wright of Bangor, is 85 years old, but ho goes into the woods with the boys every winter. Ho was lumbering before most of thorn were born, and the other day he wantcdjto bet Jill that he could turn a handspring with the best of them. The Masonic lodges in Biddoforil liavi consolidated, making a membership of 300, and talk of building a new temple They are now looking at sites. The ownership by fraternal organizations of their own quarters is the popular thing in Maine. Mrs John Collins of Biddeford, who works in the York mills, has become heir I to 1500,000,so the reports have it,but Mrs. Collins thinks that a bird in the hand is worth several in the air and says she shall ki-ep right on working until she sees the color of some of that money. A state of affairs exists in a Belfast family, a duplicate of which would lie hard to Und. After being married about three years and having two children, the husband and wife were divorced, shortly after which a third child was born to them. This scorned to reconcile their past differences, as they were soon after re married, and rumor says they arc living very happily together. George Nickerson of Crystal, lost his farm buildings in a peculiar way last wedk. The family cat, while disporting herself about the kitchen as eats will, i caught lire and made a dash out of tin door, seeking a familiar haunt beneath the liarn. She could not bo dislodged and soon had the barn in flames. The build ings were consumed, cat and all. Mr. Nickerson had no insurance. Representative Bartlett of Eliot, whost vote will break the tie in the York delega tion on the question of the court house removal, is still confined to his house and by order of his physician will not give audience to the messenger’s representa tive of either side of this great question. His wife will write a letter, denying that her husband was bulldozed by the attor ney for the petitioners—Lewiston Jour nal. A largo gathering of naval experts is expected at the Charlestown navy yard, March 18, to witness a scientific test that will lie made upon the Amrnen rant Katahilin. I’pon the test depends a great deal to the constructors of the craft. The test will develop the ram’s metaeentric, scientifically speaking. At the conclusion of the test the ram will be steamed to Bath where she will receive the remainder of her equipments. The trial will be held some time in May. The Maine building, now being recon structed at Poland Springs, is nearing completion. The exterior is practically finished and those who saw it at Chicago pronounce it identical with the one form ing a part of the White City. Every de tail is the samo, cxceopt that wood has Ixien substituted for staff in some of the ornamentations. The ground floor is to be used as a library; the second story will lie fitted for guests' room (to tie useil when the other houses are crowded); whilo the top story will be used as an art gallery. It is estimated that the cost of reconstruction will exceed *30,000. Clarence Whitney and James Foster, who have lieen serving a term at the Thomaston State prison for the robbery of old Peter Bennett, the Newport miser, who had over *32.000 in cash in his trunk, were released from State prison,.Saturday, and went to Bangor. Whitney is in ex cellcnt health, but Foster is thin and pale and shows the effects of his confinement. “I expect to go to South Africa. said he. In response to a question, “to Lo Beugue la's country, probably. I think there will be a good chance for me to begin over again in the gold mines. 1 shall get a kit and go to prospecting. I should not stay in this country, any way. even if there were not a cloud hang ing’ over me. Mining will not be a new experience, for I have traveled over Mexico and South America pretty extensively in my life.” Whitney is the son of a re spected clergyman in Penobscot count)-, and has always been a wanderer. Foster came from New York city, and will ret urn there. Both men declare their intention of living upright, honest lives. They are very happy at having-regained their free dom. i i OLD BUT GAY. Aged Minister of Philadelphia Falls from Grace. Pastor ef One Church for 42 Years, Respect'd by All. But Had Been Living a Double Life. Which 1$ Now Exposed. Philadelphia, March 10.—Rev. Dr. Alexander G. McAuley, for 12 years pastor of the Union Tabernacle Presbyterian church of this city, has been adjudged guilty of conduct unbecoming a Christian, by a judicial commission of the Presby terian church, and a verdict will be pre sentisl to the Presbytery, Monday. Dr. McAuley is about 75 years of age. For 43 years he has postal as a model Christian and expounder of the gospel. His long service had won the rospect and admira tion of the nicu and women who had grown up from childhood in the church and Sunday schools over which ho pre sided. Abous a year ago ugly rumors regard ing his conduct reached the ears of the elders of the church. It is said certain members of the congregation shadowed their pastor upon the occasion of his visits to questionable localities, and sufficient was learned to confirm their unpleasant suspicions. The elders of the church requested Dr. McAuley to appear lieforo them. He ignored the summons and shortly after wards resigned. Charges were formulated and present ed to the Presbytery, and a committee appointed to try Dr. McAuley. The general accusation was “conduct un becoming a Christian," but there were at least a dozen specific charges,all of which, it is claimed, were sustained by the evi dence presented. It is said that the testimony showed that Dr. McAuley had been leading a double life for nine or ten years. l'i>on the occasion of his visits to resorts of un savory character, lie usually wore clothing not in keeping with his position as a minister of the gospel. It was shown that he made one place of questionable repute his rendezvous for five years, and was familiarly known in resorts that, men of known sporting proclivities would hesi tate to enter. FAIR'S MANY WILLS. Heirs arc Multiplying. New Claimants Oaily Appearing With Their Proofs. San Francisco, March 10.—The Fair will case is growing more complicated and sensational daily. Attorneys for the son Charles will probably begin formal contest next week, but they are in an embarrassing position, and frankly say they don't know wliat to do. It is posi tively known that there is another will in existence of earlier date than the one which was filed and subsequently stolen. The missing document can be probated by means of a certified copy, and if Charles succeeds in breaking it he will then have to begin a contest of the other will, which is in the hands of ono of tho men named in the stolen will as executors and trus tees. This cailier testament is snid to provide more equitably for the children, but it leaves the vast estate tied up in the hands of two agents or trustees, one of whom is W. 5. Goodfellow, a lawyer, who is one of tho present executors of tho estate, and the other George Whitteil, who married a daughter of the later miser millionaire, Nicholas Lulling, and is now president of the Liming Estate Company. Fair made at least a dozen wills, some of which he destroyed. Tho children are anxious to see all the wills before they begin proceedings, but I ‘rebate Judge Stack sustains the executors in their re fusal to produce these and other docu ments. There are now 2fi attorneys en gaged in the case, with the probability of several more. A number of women have apjioared be fore the attorneys and asserted that they were married to Fair, and claims are lin ing prepared on behalf of a number of children alleged to be his offspring. FIRE AT ST. JOHNSBURY. Pythian Block a Total Loss. With All Ihe Occupants' Property. St. .Tohnsbury, Vt, March 10.—A fiiv broke out in the basement of Pythian block, this afternoon, and gained con siderable headway in the partitions liefore the firemen arrived. After a hard fight of two hours, the fire was extinguished. The building was so filled with smoke that no one could save anything. The first floor of the building was flooded with water, which destroyed all the goods in the book and stationery store ofF. O Clark; insured. C. P. Carpen ter, hardware dialer, who occupied the adjoining store, was insured for laOOO. His goods were damaged by smoke. The basement was occupied by Murray K. Clifford, who had no insurance. The second floor was occupied by Dr G. F. Cheney, dentist. Dr. W. J. Aldrich, Allen Ell is,real estate agents. Crosby Kickerby, insurance agents, and L. If. Heald. broker. On the upper floor were the lodge rooms of the Knights of Pythias. Dr. Cheney carried an insurance of $1100. The block was built and owned by mem bers of the Knights of Pythias. The building was 1 sully damaged by smoke. F. O Clark is the heaviest loser.. Later—After the fin' was supposed to ho under control, flames broke out in the roof and the building will pruliably lie a total loss. The buidling cost $32,000; insured for $10,000. Kei>orts to the contrary no withstand ing. the Prinre of Wales is grievously ailing, through some trouble with the veins in his legs, which has associated itself with previous varicose manifesta tions in his lower limits.

Mr. Haines for oommlttce on judiciary, IS IT THE END? A Time of Great Mortality. Kapcclally Noticeable in Children. Will Man Cease to Exist T—Can the Omega be Averted Why is it, with our improved sanitary appliances, our care to obtain fresh air, pure food, and plenty of exercise, the ob servance, in fact, of every hygienic law, that in spite of every care each succeed ing generation seems to become weaker and shorter lived? Is it that we arc now suffering for indiscretions of our ances tors, or is that terrible, unknown end of man at hand Whatever the cause, the existing con dition of things is too apparent. Especi ally is ttiis noticeable with the babies. Instead of the mother’s life-giving milk, they are compelled to begin a struggle for existence with the bottle. The result in many cases is disastrous. The little one, failing to obtain necessary nourishment, grows weaker daily, until death ends the struggle. The end in these eases is pimply Starvation. With this termination so often the case, the best physicians of the day have re sorted to the use of Bovinine, that great and original raw food product, as a means to save the babies. In this connection Dr. A. B. Tiobinson, f? 1 Dudley St.. Boston, after commending Bovinine most highly for various compli cations where the waste of disease must lie checked, and new blood, flesh, and strengtli created to cfTcct a cure, says concerning this life-creating preparation, “With feeble, bottle-fed babies, a small amount added to the milk lias in my practice saved many children.” Bovinine is not a medicine, but a life-maintaining, flesh, bone, and blood, making preparation that contains tlie greatest amount of nourishment iu the least possible bulk. Give it to the little ones while there is still hope. Your physician, if you ask him, will recommend it, and you will bless the results obtained forever. on resolve relating to school lots, reported ought not to pass.

The Reimbllcans of Augusta should spare no effort today to get out their full party vote. They have a strong ticket in tiie field, and one in every way worthy of a united and certlial support. The splendid record which Mayor Millikcn and his associates in the city government have made during the past twelve months —especially as regards tho management of city finances, entitles them to the con tinned confidence of tho poople of this city. Let every Republican do his share today in rolling up an old time majority for his party. Ho can do this not only by being at the polls and votiDg early today but also by urging his Republican friends and neighbors to do the samo. Lot the endorsement of Mayor Milliken’s able ad ministration ho the largo and cordial ono it so richly merits. City election today. Lot every Republican bo at the polls and voto today. Republicans can help their party today by being at the polls and voting early. The administration of Mayor Millikcn lias lieen clean, progressive and business like. It deserves and will doubtless receive the hearty endorsement of the voters of this city at the polls today. Tho genial editor of a Democratic paper in this city sent to City Treasurer Town send the other day a list of questions to which he desired answers. Among them were the following: “Surplus on hand it any?” “Deficit—if any?” To the first of these questions Treasurer Townsend answered “$13,157.33” to tho second “the deficit was last year.” Such information would certainly have been warming to the hearts of Augusta tax payers and still “Mace “hasn’t seen fit to publish it. _ There has never lieon a year when t he streets of Augusta have l>oan kept in bet ter condition than during the past twelve months. The department has I>ecn run, from the start, upon a purely business basis. It has not been made an asylum for ward hoelers, as was the caso under Democratic rule. Tho work lias been vigorously pushed during the whole year with results that have lieen apparent to all our citizens. We do not believe that any municipal year in the history of the city has seen more iiermanent improve ments in reads nnd sidewalks than the one now drawing to a close. How well do the citizens of Augusta remember the frantic attempts of the Democrats of this city last. March, after a year of riotous extravagance In municipal affairs, to make it appear that there was still a surplus in the treasury. By keep ing liack Are department, snow and other bills, and by deferring the payment of an outstanding city bond for $2000 they were able to show a cash balance of $744.00. This year every effort has been made to get In the snow bills early and notwithstanding the fact that these and all other bills have been paid promptly upon presentation and cleaned up as closely a3 possible City Treasurer Townsend had cash on hand March 1st, to the amount of $1:1,157.03. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Caslorla. The Republican Candidate!. The Republican party of Augusta presents a list of candidates today in everyway worthy, of the cordial support of the voters of the city. Mayor Mllliken has been a practical, energetic man in the discharge of his duties and his adminis tration of municipal affairs has been singularly free from friction, and de servedly popular. He will undoubtedly be re-elected today with a handsome in crease in his majority. The Republican candidates in the various wards arc all gentlemen of ability—men well known to the people of Augusta, in whose hands the affairs of the city will be well cared for. Ward I. Charles H. Cunningham, renominated for alderman is one of the best business men in Augusta. He has served two years in the common council and one year in tho board of aldermen and has made the city an able and painstaking official. He is thoroughly honest and straightforward in all his dealings. He merits and will doubtless receive the cordial support of tho Republicans of Ward 1. Mr. John V. Cane, renominated for the city council, is well nnd favorably known. Elmer E.Parkman, who will bo a new man in the city council, will come to the posi tion admirably equipped for Its duties. He is deservedly popular with all who know him. wara z, Edwin C. Dudley the nominee for aider man is in every respect admirably fitted for the position. He is one of the most efficient business men in the city and his service in the city government and as the practical head of one of tho largest and most successful savings institutions in Maino will make him a valuable man in board of aldermen. Melville Smith has already served efficiently as councilman and his retention in that office shows that his services have been appreciated. C. A. Wadsworth who will bo elected councilman is a sterling Republican. For years he held a responsible position in tho post office. Ho will bo a strong addition to the board. Ward 3. The unanimous renomination of Hu bert J. Cross for alderman was a deserved compliment to a worthy young man who carried tho ward in 1894 when it was generally expected that the Democrats would be successful. Mr. Cross has been an efficient man in the city government. D. W. Webber renominated for tho coun cil is a business man of more than ordi nary ability. Ho is deservedly popular. David Cloutier nominated for tho coun cil will be a new man on the board. He has good business abilities. Ward 4. Stephen A. Miller, tho nominco for al derman is ono of tho lending and success ful farmers of Augusta. Ho served to the entire satisfaction of all as councilman in 1894. Edwin J. Philbrook made a good councilman and the renomination ac corded him was a deserved compliment to an efficient and faithful public officer. William H. Nason nominated for council man is in every way worthy of tho posi tion. Ward 5. Frederick Cony who will bo re-elected alderman today Is deservedly popular with the people of this city. Always genial and courteous in his intercourse with others he is ono of the most honorable and successful business men in the city. He has served as alderman during tho past year and his practical common sense and the experience ho has had as a member of former city governments have been of great service to the city. Francisco Col burn and Wm. H. Allen renominated for oouncilmon are active Republicans and clean and honorable men. Ward 6. In Weston Lewis the candidate for al derman the people of tho city will llnd a gentleman of sterling character and fine abilities. Mr. Lewis is a self made man, an untiring worker and eminently successful in his profession. He has served to the entire satisfaction of all as councilman during tho past year. A. W. Foster renominated for tho council is in every respect worthy of tho honor. Ho has made a courteous and efficient official. John Hamblin nominated for councilman is an active, self made young man who has a high reputation as a square and up right citizen. He has a large acquaintance and is popular. Ward 7. F. C. Howett tho nominee for alder man is well and favorably known in this city. Ho will make an efficient public officer. B. M. Cross and Frank lessor nominated for councilmon are in every respect capable and worthy men and will make good officials. Tho Republican nominees for ward officers are all efficient men. The Re publicans have an exceptionally strong and well balanced ticket this year and we have reason to believe that every man upon it will triumphantly be elected to day. This is a Republican year in Maine as demonstrated by the elections already held through the State. Det the capital city follow the example and roll up ma jorities today that will send cheer to our brethren in other sections of the State and that will be regarded as drops in the great ocean that will overwhelm the Cleveland, Carlisle,Gresham Democracy in 1896.

LEGISLATIVE MATTERS. Rmrttsl CommHtM Work on Several Matters ot Interest. Hon. A. M. Spear was before the judic iary committee Friday afternoon and spoke in favor of the bill put in by Sena t >r Hill to allow the judge of the court that has found an innocent person guilty, upon subsequently learning of the inno cence of the person to re-open the case. What is regarded by some a need for such a law was brought out by the Wakefield case in this county. The legal affairs committee will report in now draft the Bangor municipal court bill. By this the county is to receive the fees and bear the expense. The order relating to barbed wire fences will l)c reported unfavorably. The act relating to actions against exe cutors or administrators ought not to pass. It shortened the time six months. Newport Klcctric Bight and Power Com pany ought not to pass. Act relating to the Insolvent law ought not to pass. Act to allow boards of reference to be chosen in towns ought not to pass. The bill to provide for the organization of tho Gorham Village Corporation will 1)0 reported ought to pass by tho judiciary committee. Tho petitioners for a measure relating to division fences were given leave to withdraw. Tho measures relating to school lots and that relating to Aroostook lots will lie reported unfavorably. Several water company charters will be reported favorably. Regarding the matter of school lots the committee decided that the Governor and land agent have authority to secure what ever interests tho State may have in these lots. Legislative Notes. Representative Bartlett of Eliot, whoso vote is wanted by both sides of the ques tion l>efore the York county delegation relative to removal of county seat, is at his homo in Eliot too ill to bo scon. Senator Wiggin has certainly earned the lasting gratitude of the Patrons of Hus liamlry of Maine, by his faithful, persis tent and fearless light for the various ineasuros in which the members of that order arc interested. It he has failed of suc cess it has not lioon for lack of effort. He has been a hard and persistent fighter,and those who have entertained opposing views, havo concodcd him to loo a most worthy opponent. [For routine matters, remarks, etc ,see sten ographic report.] WHERE IS ABBOTT An Insurance Man That Is Wanted by Several Parties at Lewiston and Elsewhere. -T-1- A Boston Herald dispatch from Lewis ton says: City Marshal Teel has a warrant for the arrest of E. M. Abbott,an insurance solici tor of this city, who is charged with pass ing checks drawn on a bank where he has no funds. He has not been seen here for several days, and bis wife does not know where ho is. Abbott has represented the Phoenix Mutual insurance Company of Portland. He has had an account for some years with a national bank at Augusta, but his checks drawn recently have lioon returned endorsed “no funds.” The Shoe and Iioathcr Bank of Auburn holds about $100 of these checks on which payment has been refused. A Lisbon street clothing firm has accepted his checks for four or five years and always found them good until they presented one this week for $1B. Abbott was in Watervilte a few days ago. E. M. Abbott, whom City Marshal Teel of Lewiston holds a warrant for. has boon in Augusta, and it was only a few days ago that a man was here from Portland looking for him. Abbott has been soliciting insurance for tlm Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Co., and is charged with passing worthless checks. It Is said that he had an account at one of the Augusta national bunks. Previous to his disappearance he was staying at Hotel Brunswick,Gardiner,and left there very suddenly, leaving all his things. While in this city he was a guest at tho City hotel. He is aliout 48 years of age, will weigh about 190 pounds, has full beard, is of dark complexion, about 0 feet tall, has only three fingers cn one hand and is rather a fine nppoarng man. The police here and in other cities are looking for him. City Physician’s Report. City Physician D. P. HeClair has made his annual report. He says: "I have nuule the alms house 59 visits; outside patients, 185; office prescriptions given, 89; obstetric cases, outside patients, 4; fractures, one of arm, one of log, 2. Two deaths have occurred at alms house, duo to old age. Other physicians have visited almshouse patients when requested by tho sick.” He believes tho city physician should be given tho preference over other dootors in esses out-of-town. He does not think the city physician should supply medicine and pay for it out of his own salary. He also recommends that certain druggists bo granted tho privilege to sup ply the medicino used. F. B. Sands, of the Lewiston Y. M. C. A., has been in the city to see the gentle men who managed the Masonic fair with such success, and see if arrangements can bo made for some of the attractions that were at the fair to be exhibited at the industrial and centennial celebration of the association of that city. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castorla. AN IMPORTANT PUBLICATION. Mr. Nuh’i New Edition ol the Constitutional Convention ol Maine. For many years past one of the rarest works relating to the history of Maine has been “Perley’s Debates,” so called for short, being the “debates, resolutions and other proceedings of the convention of delegates, which met in Portland in October, 1819, for the purpose of forming a constitution for the State of Maine. This work was prepared by Jeremiah Perley, Esq., and was printed in a 12 mo. volume of 200 iiages, by A. Shirley, Portland, 1820. While the original book is by no means rare—as many copies are in the hands of old lawyers and book col lectors—it is yet so scarce that a copy is almost never found lying about, or noted in the catalogues of dealers in old books. Among the copies owned in this city is one in the original boards, uncut, in very good condition, and containing both on the fly-leaf and Ujion the title-page the autograph of “E. Lincoln’s,”—being that of Enoch Lincoln, fourth governor of Maine in 1827. And as showing what strange wanderings books sometimes take it may lie mentioned that this particular copy contains within its fly-leaves the stamp of a second-hand book dealer in Maryland, where it was picked up by Mr. Cole, the well known old book dealer in Washington, D. C., by whom it was sent to the gentleman in this city who justly regards it as quite a “gem.” In seventy four years a good many books become scarce. Even within t he period of thirty eight, years many books aro scarce that were at the first common enough. This is true of the document containing the “Journal of the constitutional convention of the district of Maine, with the articles of separation and Gov. Brook’s Proclama tion, which was printed by the state so recently as 1850, and for years has been so scarco that not a copy could be obtained anywhere. With the commendable instincts of the true antiquarian—that ilesire to rescue from oblivion and place securely in printed form for tho use of the future student whatever contribution to history is liable to become extremely scarce, and yet is of so much importance as to deserve perpetuation—Hon. Charles K. Nash of this city, (who unites in a happy degree tho passion of the historian and anti quary with a fine taste in the art preser vative ot all arts,") has just published in a splendid volume, not only a careful re print. of both tho above named scarce books, but has enriched tiro same with a mass of most important illustrative matter, which will cause the work to be over regarded as a truly monumental one relating to tho history of Maine. In addi tion to both these rare and Important books now put into a beautiful and com pact impression, tho volume contains a history of the Brunswick convention of IStIO, from the pen of tho late William Allen, Esq., of Norridgcwock, who was a member of tho convention, based upon minutes which hotookat. the time,hut not written out till he was over eighty years of age; fac similes of the signatures of members of the convention of 1H1!), who signed the now constitution, (from the original document,) and especially en graved for this work; tho constitution of Maine as it exists today, with amend ments; biographical sketches of two hun dred and ninety-six members of the con vention an index to the whole work cov ering forty pages—all prefaced by an in (reduction in which the compiler gives a most graphic sketch of the history and importance of tho work of tho convention; its notable personnel; a biographical ac count of Mr. Pcrloy, author of the “de bates, and a reference to Iho grand docu ment itself our noblo constitution, which, as lie says, "is worthy to become a textbook in our public schools." In deed, It may lie justly said that so not able a contribution to the history of our Stato has not appeared from the press ot Maine for many years. It. is a Work that should at once find a place in every pub lic, law and school library in the State; while members of the, legal profession will welcome it as a constitutional man ual they have long deslrtd to possess, and no one can consult it without giving a high meed of praise to i he scholarly print er publisher, editor, that his part in all the divisions of the work has been so ad mlrably done. It is printed on (Inc pa per, in clear type— much in the style of the Maine reports—and is durably bound In the usual manner of tbc most-used law books. Tho volume contains a total of 79 pages.__ ECLIPSE OF THE MOON. The Event Occurs Strictly on Time and is Witnessed by Everybody.

REMARKS OF COL. PLUMMER UpM the Question ol the Appropriation tor the Farmington Normal School. Wo publish below the full text of the remarks of the Hon. Stanley Plummer, relative to the appropriation for the Farmington Normal school, which, owing to the extraordinary pressure upon our columns, the morning following its delivery, we were forced to abridge. Col. Plummer said: Mr. Speaker: It is now 23 years since all active connection with the common schools on my part ceased, but during the 16 years prior to that period, as pupil, teacher, committee man and supervisor, I had opportunity to know something of the condition of the schools and methods of instruction and government. Then the prevailing methods of instruc tion were for the teacher to hoar the pupils recite what they could remember of the literal text of the books and tell them the balance, and it was not thought of as any part of a teacher's duty to study her pupils, and conduct the recitation by tactfully engaging the attention and stimulating the thought of the pupil in regard to the subject matter under con sideration, and the idea of an objeet lesson had not been born. Pupils were required to repeat lessons,not to think on subjects. Then the prevailing methods of discipline and government was such as inspired the couplet. II ’Tls education forms the common mind, Some take a stick and whip it in behind.” These were some of the features of the boasted N. E. common school system of a quarter and a third of a century ago under which in spite of its defects, thanks to the high quality of the native stock, so many grand specimens of intellectual manhood and womanhood were developed. Perchance there arc sections of the State, or spots rather, where theso defects remain, but generally there has been a radical change for the better. Vou younger members of the House know the full breadth and measure of the change itetter than I. What has brought about this advancement in conditions and methods? What lifted the schools out of the hun drum rut in which they had teen run ning for generations on to a higher plane of natural philosophical instruction and management? I answer, primarily the normal schools. They were the first in strumentalitics put into operation under tho now departure, and have continued year after year adding their quota to the corps of trained teachers of tho State, and through them operating like leaven in the mass of teachers who have had no special training for their calling. This is the ago of special training for many callings in America, as lias long boon tho custom in the older countries of Europe. Ask any Intelligent pnysicmn nis esti mate of trained nurses, and he will tell you (hat In critical cases their services cannot bo dispensed with, that their skill acquired at the training schools, may moan life to the patient. If special toch nlcal or professional train ing Is thought necessary for nurses, who caro only for mortal bodies, how much more Important is It for teachers who are doullng with Immortal minds. But tak ing the lower pecuniary view of the ques tion, I believo it would pay to put tho training of normal schools within the reasonable reach or all ceacners oi cue r5iaw3. One million seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars is expended annually on ouroomnion schools. If you add only f> per cent to tho results secured from this expenditure you have what represents 937,500 and there can be no doubt that noruinl instruction and training for teachors adds much more than 5 per cent to the value of their work in individual cases. Is it not tho part of business sense and pecuniary wisdom then to extend op portunities for normal training in our State? What has tho Stato done in this direction? It has established three nor mal schools; ono at Gorham which ac commodates York, Cumberland, Sagada hoc and Lincoln counties; ono at Farm ington which is accessible to Oxford, An droscoggin, Franklin and Kennebec, and ono at fasti no whioh serves Waldo, Knox, Hancock and Washington. This leaves a great section of tho State, larger than the states of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Ithodo Island combined, made up of eastern Somerset, Penobscot, Piscataquis and Aroostook counties, with a population of more than 150,000; no portion of which is within less than 80 and nearly all of which is from 60 to 200 and 250 miles from any of the Stato normal schools as yet established, and this is tho growing section of the State too. Now this is not just to the people, teachers and pupils of this groat section. The people of this section pay taxes at the same rate us tho peoplo of other sections of the State to support normal schools; and Stato institutions which are thus supported by taxation of tho people of all sections, should l>o so distributed as equally to accommodate all. Now whnt is it proposed to do to correct this obvious inequality of normal school privileges afforded to the people of t he different sections of the State? What does the committee on education propose to do? Do they, or a majority of them pro pose to establish a now normal school, at Huch place in central and northeastern Maine ns may lie decided by a commission appointed for the purpose to bo most ad vantageous? No. True a new normal school would cost tho State only 920,000. That was all that was asked by tho people of Nowport, but that ts more money than tho State with the largo claims which are made upon it for charitable eleemos ynary and humanitarian institutions can this year afford and the people must wait for the now normal schools. The com mittee on education so decided. Very well. Then there is the Normal school at Gorham. Since the Inst session of the Legislature the dormitory oi this insti tution, which, ns was the principal build ing also was given to the State by the town of Gorham,all ata cost of some 940. 000, has been destroyed by fire, and as the State neglected to provide for any insur ance the loss was total. Is it projeosod to rebuild this burned building and thus discharge a normal.obligation to the town of Gorham? No. *It will cost 980,000 to do this, and that is more than the State can this year afford and Gorham must wait. The committee on education so decided. Very well. Then it is not pro posed to put on the people any large addi tional expenditures for normal schools? That is the policy is it? By no means. It is proposed by the majority of the com mittee on education to go up to Farming ton, and tear down, raze to the ground, a good *brlck building which was built only 80 years ago in order to invest 930, 000 in a somewhat larger and more ele gant building. Now if greenbacks and treasury notes, or even silver certificates, were as plenti ful as maple leaves in autumn and did not cost tho taxpayers any effort, this would A Stitch in time saves nine. A stitch in the side often results in something far more serious, unless treated at once. Allcock’s Porous Plaster has saved many from lung diseases. It is invaluable for rheumatism, and pains in the back, chest or limbs.

It would add to the attractions of a lovely village and gratify the ambition and esthetic sense of a gifted principal and excellent corps of teachers. I wish the State were able in justice to all other claims upon it, to do this. But I submit that if the vast central and northeastern section of tho Suite which has no normal school, and which would bo satislied for years to come with a building for one no better than that it is proposed to pull down at Farmington, must wait. If Gorham with its strong moral claim upon the State for a board ing house to replace the one totally lost to the school through tho neglect of the State to provide adequate insurance must wait, Farmington should wait also. I submit that, without appropriations already amounting to figures greater than we can justify to our constituents or our own consciences, with other pressing claims yet to be met, and many meritorious ones relegated to tho favorable consideration of future Legislatures, this is not the year to pull down that which is fairly good and reasonably subserves tho purposes and uses for which it was erected, in order to make room for foundations for a more cDmmodious and elegant building which will cost the State $:SO,000. Mr. S|>caker: If it lie the desire of this Legislature to make a considerable ex traordinary appropriation for the benefit of the Normal school at Farmington, it should provido for tho purchase of addi tional land. Tho present lot of but little if any more than half an acre is alto gether too small. There is no room ior ouiaoor exon ij»e or athletic sports, for base ball, foot ball or tennis grounds, and the projected new building will extend from a point not many feet back from the stroet to within ten feet of the line of tho narrow lot running parallel with said street. I submit that it would be folly to build a *30,000 building for school purposes anywhere on so narrow and small a lot, and much greater folly to pull down and destroy a fairly good and useful building in order to build such a building on such a lot. I submit that before such a build ing is appropriated for, (Other now or in tho future investigation should be made to see if the requisite land to enlarge the lot can be obtained at reasonable cost,and that no appropriation to build a new building should at any time bo made un til this fact has been ascertained, and a preliminary appropriation be made to pur chase such land. I say to you gentlemen, that I know if you appropriate tho *!10,000 to build this elegant and ornamental building, its erection will bo followed by tho proposi tion on the part of the sponsors of the school to buy sufficient land to make the lot somewhat moro nearly large enough to carry such a school building, and the State will then be constrained by the situa tion and circumstances to do it, whether tho cost is reasonable or unreasonable, and in view of the fact that all adjoining lots have fairly good buildings on them, 1 submit that such cost will inevitably lie far greater than the State ought reason ably to be required to pay. Gentlemen: Is there any business sense in erecting this elegant and costly build ing liefore you know whether a sufficient lot can lie obtained at any price, and if so what that price shall bo whether reason able or exorbitant Gentlemen: They say they aro over crowded at Farmington and must have more room, a larger building. I say there are ample accommodations in the three normal schools, which are supported by the State, for all students who under present conditions and with the present location of the schools desire such instruction. There is ample room at Gorham and Cas tine for many more students than any ixissible excess at rarmington over ami above the number, which can l>o well ac commodated with the present buildings and facilities. This excess of students at Farmington is drawn from tho territory naturally tributary to Gorham and Cas tino by jiersistent and enterprising ad vertising, tho pleasant winning qualities and personal popularity of tho gifted principal at Farmington, against whom I utter not one word of criticism, and by tho warm appreciation of the school and its pupils shown by the good people of Farmington and no town in the State has more worthy or better citizens, some of whom I am glad to count as personal friends. Now those students can get just as good instruction and training, and in the opin ion of some visitors of our normal schools even better, at Gorham and Uastinc t han at Farmington. Shall tho State encour age them to crowd in at Farmington at the expense of Gorham and Castine, and leave tho fine school facilities at those places, which are supplied by the Shite at great cost, only half used? I do not be lieve in any such iniluy. Besides, suppose Mr. Purington should die or resign, and a man of only ordinary drawing qualities bo employed in J)is place, and only tho students naturally tributary to Farmington apply for admis sion there; or. suppose a future Legisla ture should in its wisdom and injustice to the people of a great section establish a [Continued on page 8.

Daring theno many yours of illness I consulted tlio best of au thorities ou t ho cliseusos of tho digestive organs, specialists of groat renown pro flouncing my case lmpclcss, soino assert ing that my stomach was Infested with rancors. I have tried countless numbers of so-called medicines that were recom nicnclcd to mo or otherwise bought, to iny notice. I.lko a drowning man catching at a straw I would buy Isittlos after bottles of Sarsaparilla and other medicines 1 saw advertised in tho papers, giving them all a thorough trial. All of these, although highly spoken of by persons whoso integ rity 1 could not doubt, proved worse than useless in my case, and 1 kept growing steadily worse. X became at last con vitrcod that the numerous physicians I had consulted were right, and that my disease was indeed Incurable, (living up all hopes, tho only course left, for me was to nsluro the pain to a minimum. This was obtained by eating as lit lie as would keep body and soul together, and ab staining from all substances containing fats, sugar and starch. Some months since n kind friend gave me a bottle of Hod Seal Sarsaparilla. At first T would not take it as I had lost faith in every thing, believing Hint Hod alone could bring relief. 1 Icing told, however, that, tills Sar saparilla was prepared in a ]>oeuliar man ner of its own whereby certain injurious principles contained in mo j all such pre parations were effectually eliminated, 1 at last, but. si ill without much hope, gave it a trial. 1 fervently thank Hod tluit in His goodness He lias allowed me to Hml this precious medicine. Finding relief with die first iHittlo l obtained more, and kept taking it until today I am completely cured and as well a man as ever drew tho breath of life. 1 am convinced of the superiority of tho Red Seal Sarsaparilla over all others I have tried,and consider it my solemn duty to tell what I have told in the foregoing, so that others like myself suffering from dyspepsia or kindred diseases of the diges tive organs may/be cured by this wonder fill medicine. This statement is made of my own free will and without any solicitation from the company owning and manufacturing this Sarsaiiarllla. Rev. John I ettingill.

Tlie water of this spring, it was claimed, would cure a number of diseases, and many people from far ifml near resorteel to it when occasion required. Nearly loo years ago the late General Dearborn built a small ocrogau shapeel building about the spring, which is yet in a good stats' of preservation, and tho place is still visited by a large number of people who aro afflicted with those diseases which it is claimed to euro. .Mr. J.

Blanchard of Bangor, train dispatcher on the Bangor a on any consideration and under any circum stances torn down. It would lie an un warranted and wanton destruction of Mu property of the State to tear it down. There can Ik- no possible justification for such a proposition. If the new #30,000 building must be built, In the namo of reason,let it bo built on new ground. Do not pull down and destroy a substantial, useful and imposing structure like that, because it is a little old fashioned, and lacks octagon corners and bay windows 1’ui-lic buildings like this, of substantial construction, from indestructible ma terials, stone and brick, are valued by wise men for t heir associations when old, and repaired, renovated and restored, not torn down, and blotted from the face of the earth. Who wotdd have been so lack ing in sentiment and sense as to have pro posed, a few years ago, to pull down old Massachusetts hall at Bowdoin College, with Us valued associations of 100 years? Nobody thought of tearing it down. It was repaired, renovated and preserved, and made ono of the most useful, as it is the most Interesting building on the College campus. Gentlemen: This main building at Farmington is not without interesting and valuable associations. It was the first normal school building constructed in the State and marks a new and wise departure in school development. There it has stood for 30 years. Within its walls for 15 years Prof. C. C. Hounds, tho ablest normal school man and one of the fore most educators tho .state lias produced, did his faithful and useful work; and within its walls Prof. Purington, his ac complished and successful successor, has spent 11 of the best years of his life. Let the old building stand and be preserved, and when Mr. Purington’s useful work at Farmington shall have been finished, tho recollection of Us faithfulness and efiioien cy as associated with and kept alive by the old building will bean inspiration to those who shall come after him; and hundreds of graduates scattered all over the State and in other states will ever hold the old familiar tower in affectionate remembrance, and I am suro would re gret its unnecessary destruction. But gentlemen these are considerations of sentiment and I donut present them to you as controlling motives of opinion and notion, although were I a graduate of the school they would have great weight with me. Wlmt I dn present as a paramount eon sideration in this matter is tlio utter and inexcusable wastefulness involved in this scheme to tear down so good, substantial and useful a building, which serves its purpose fairly well now, and which with a comparatively small expenditure for re pairs and enlargement, can bo made to satisfy every legitimate demand of the institution for the next 20 years, and at the end of that period even should not be pulled down. Here Is another point. The pulling down of (his building will interrupt the school for a much longer time than its enlargement, and Impose upon the State much greater charges for the rental of buildings while the process of construction is going on. Now Mr. Speaker: 1 am not a builder, Iml I am the son of a builder, and in boy hood knew what it was lo work at the business, and have ever since maintained a lively interest in that kind of work, and 1 say to you that I do not believe a single individual firm or corporation in the State, owing this building, would under the circumstances existing and surround ing and hearing upon this matter, even seriously consider a proposition to pull it down, i'pon the occasion of my recent visit to Farmington, witli the committee on education for the purpose of inspecting the normal school, I was utterly amazed when informed of the scheme to tear down the main building for t.lin jinrpose of erecting a new one on its ruins. Is the State of Maine so rich that she need take no thought of the expenditure of fliO, 000? Gentlemen would havo us believe this. That 1458.000 iu the treasury resulting from the wise and prudent action of prior Legislatures, and the executive depart ments of the State, seems to make some gentlemen in this Honse feel very rich, and that now the State has a nest egg in bank, it should go to the extent in liber ality of pulling down its buildings and blotting out its vis'ble property in order to have a chance and an excuse to invest a large sum in a new and more ornate structure, to gratify the esthetic taste and Applied Fos-.

Under this policy this fund in the treasury will vanish like the mist before the morning sun. The Governor has shown you how fast it is going. Already visions of temporary loans loom up in its place, and the neces sity for a higher tax rate is hinted at. If this tiling goes on to tin end of the session will our constituents greet us with peans of praise upon our return hornet liut gentlemen will tell you that bff cause I have advocated th appropriation of a large sum of money for a necessary humanitarian purpose, which it happens will bo expended in my section of the State,my mouth is shut and I am estopped from uttering a word against this or any other unnecessary expenditure of public money, if it happens to bo called for from some other section of the State, that I am not free to protest, or at least that I can not in good taste protest against such a wanton and uncalled for destruction of the property of the State as the proposed demolition of this building. Away with such a low and narrow view of the duties of a representative of the people. It is unworthy of the gentlemen who present it. The State of Maine is rich enough to bear tile ordinary expenses of government wisely and economically administered as it is today; to provide for the proper care of all her unfortunates, whether suffering from mental or physical ailment; to pro vide for a wise anil conservative encour agement of such internal improvements ax will result in the development and diversification of her industries and the enhancement of her wealth; to provide generously l.ir the support of her common schools ami all the institutions connected t herewith; hut she is not ricli enough to unwisely risk or foolishly waste a single dollar In doing them things. Now Mr. Speaker: I oppose this appro priation at this time: (1). Hecauso tln;ro is ampin room in th” normal schools of tho Stall- for all stu dents making application for such in struction, were they properly distributed among them. I oppose it liecauso if such a building were needed the lot at Karmlng ton is far t x> small to carry if, and decent business sense requires that the enlarge ment of the lot should lie provided for and j made sure, before the building is begun. Cl. I I oppose it, because if tho students making application at Farmington above the number of l.Vi are not to Ik> distri tinted as they ought to iie among tho other normal schools, ami more room is really to lie needed, it can be secured at an expense of from ♦•'.000 to $5000 and a saving to the State over this scheme of *21,000 or *35,000 by enlarging the pres ent building. (t.) I oppose it because the pulling down of the present building would lie the wanton and unnecessary destruction of a piece of valuable and useful property of the State, which under no circum stances should lie thought of, even if the new building asked for should in the lu- j ture be aui hurized. <5 I oppose it, because this year is not opportune for large extraordinary I appropriations for such purposes. The I urgent, facts of the situation have forced favorable consideration of largo nppropria- I tions for humanitarian objects, which to- gother with needful appropriations for internal improvements and for the ordin ary expenses of government, have carried, and will carry the amount beyond tho limits of any former years. On these propositions, as a friend of education and of normal schools I stand and I appeal to you gentlemen of this House, not to authorize this unwise, un necessary and unwarranted expenditure of tlio peoplo’s money, which will Involve such a ruthless destruction of the valuable and useful property of the State.
