The Bath Times calls upon the govern ment to take action upon the obstruction to navigation by barges. A big tow boat t ikes three bargps in tow, and the four of them, with the long tow lines make a string about a mile long They cannot turnout for a sailing vessel very well, although the latter has the right of way. The Times thinks that but one barge should be allowed in a tow, and that damages caused by a vessel trying to dodge a tow should be paid for by the tug. The barges seem to be knocking out the schooners in two ways, by carrying freight cheaper ami by actually sinking them. at BARKER'S When compared with quality are the cheapest to be had.

Water villi;, Nov. SJ7.—(Special).—The long distance cross-country run of the Colby Athletic Association, which has been several times postponed, occurred tliis afternoon. The run was lor the prize silver cup re cently offered by the faculty of the college to be known as the “faculty cup It is to be contested for each year and is to he held by the winner, who by winning secures the honor of having his name on graved thereon. If however, the cup is ever won for three successive years by the same person, then it becomes Ills own property and the faculty are to provide another for future use. The first run for the cup today, was a most interesting event. There were live contestants: E. E. Hall, '98; W L. Hub bard. '9ii; H. H. Pratt. '99: C. K. Gurrev. '98; and C. L. Clemme.nt, '97. These gentlemen were taken in a backboard to Clinton were the start was made. Prof. Jackson and F. W. Paddclford, '96, went in a single team to follow the runners, adjudge the race and take the time. The route taken was down the river road to Heaton Fall, across to Hen ton Station, to Fairfield nnd from there following the electric car track to the col lege, the whole distance being slightly over 10', miles. The runners were all bunched from the start all the way, till about a mile tliis side of Fairfield. Then Hall began to pull slowly ahead of his companions, closely followed by Hubbard. Near the bridge over Holland brook. Pratt was taken with a pain in his side and drop ping out. rode in on the buckboard. Hall and Hubbard kept increasing their lead till at the top of the hill, In sight of the oottage. Hubbard began to fall back, and beford he finished, was passed by both Clement andGerrey. The judges followed the leader closely and when the college was reaohed.snapped the watch, and found that Mr. Hall had ooverel the distance in one hour and ten minutes, flat. Clement and Gerry were about two minutes behind, and Hubbard a little more. The roads for quite a part of the dis tance were very heavy and hard to run on, but even under these conditions the time made was considered remarkably good. Prof. Jackson said, after the race, that he was highly pleased at tbe result, and was of the opinion that had the roads been In good condition the run would have been made at least in minutes quicker. Catarrh Affects your head, but it is not therefore a local disease. If it did not exist in your blood, it could not manifest itself in your nose. Whatever impurities the blood does not carry away, cause what we call disease. Therefore, for Catarrh inhalants, snuffs and other local appli cations can give only temporary relief. The true way to cure is to purify your blood by taking a constitutional remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which eliminates all impurities and thus per manently cures catarrh.

Price 25 cent*, WASHINGTON COUNTY. Successful and Interesting Farmers’ Conven tion at Cherryfie d. Secretary McKeen of the State board ol agriculture, is meeting with most gratify ing success in the holding of his farmer institutes, and the large attendance upon them is the best possible pruof of the very general interest they are awakening. The lu-titute at Clierryfield, Saturday, wa largety attended, in -pite of the unfavor able weather. It wa^ held in the Grange hall. L. U. Smith,member of the State board ol agriculture for Washington county, called the meeting to order, and after a few opening remarks. Introduced as lect urer for the forenoon, Hon. 11 Walker McKeen, secretary of the State hoard of agriculture, who delivered a very enter taining and instructive lecture on dairy work. Some of the most noticeable feat ures of his remarks were the points to be considered in the selection of stock and the treatment of the same in order to ob tain the best possible results. All present were much benefltted by listening t*> one so thoroughly conversant with the subject which he treated. At noou a bounteous farmers' dinner was served in the ball. J \V. Dudley of Castle Hill, member of the board of agriculture for Aroostook county, was the first speaker, taking for his subject. “Fruit Growing In Maine.” He said that first a thorough knowledge of the elements of different kinds of soil is a most important factor in the selection of trees. Having ascertained by careful analysis the variety adapted to a certain soil ho proceeded to describe the manner of setting out tred*; making mention of maDy of the requisites heretofore omitted, being considered of minor Importance, but absolutely Indispensable to the successful fruit grower. The best times for pruning as well as how to graft were fully ex plained. Next he gave some very im portant facts concerning the best methods to adopt 11 exterminate all enemies to the tree as well as to the fruit. In conclusion his remarks ou picking, storing in the cel lar, also a few points on packing anil de livering fruit, were Indeed lessons of great worth to the farmer. During his lecture he exhibited some fine specimens of apples grown In different parts of Maine. His lec ture was highly appreciated. Willis A. Luce of South Union, a former member of the board of agricult ure for Knox county, was then Intro duced, who treated in an able manner the subject of plum growing as well as the cultivation of the different berries. He described tlm different varieties, dwell ing on these bist adapted to our own climate and soil. He also gave some use ful information on the subject of spray ing plants, tlm niosk.„sultfible time to do it, together with many antidotes for the cure of such diseases and the elimination of such insects as ravage our gardens and orchards. His talk was very much en joyed by all who heard him. In the evening. Secretary McKeen de livered an addre-s In Union hall on a sub ject that should interest every citizen of the Pine Tree State, “Young Man, Don’t Go West.” The lecture was much en joyed, tiut the evening was very unfavor able on account of a settled rain prevent ing many from attending. All were benefltted by having heard the words of -m b men who are so deeply Interested Id the welfare of the State, and the entire meeting proved instructive and helpful to our farmers.

This Is an aetlon on judg ment, the debt and costs amounting to ♦81.44. obtained by this plaintiff against Scribner In 1878. In the superior court for Cumberland county. The defendant claims payment. He says that soon after the execution on the judgment was issued, the sheriff of Sagadahoc came to him In Bath and said he had a claim against him In favor of Drummond, but he saw no papers; that he was not arrested, but upon advice of the officer, he and the man by whom he was employed went to Port land, and after some negotiation, made an offer to settle the claim, together with another execution against him and hiB brother, for ♦60. and returned to Bath: that subsequently th- offer was accepted hy plaintiff and tbe $50 Was forwarded nnd a receipt returned, which has been lost. The plaintiff rejoins, admitting that $5o was ]iaid hy the defendant, but he claims that it was paid to relieve the defendant from liability to arrest on both executions. Verdict for plaintiff for $6!*. 03. A motion to set aside the verdict in the case of Dunton vs. Baldlc was argued by counsel before the judge, and was denied. This concluded the business of the term and court finally adjourned. Maine Pensions. Washington, Nov. 27.—Pensions have been granted to the following residents of Maine: Original, Andrew J.

To Boom Candidacy of Hon. Thomas B. Reed for the Presidency. Lincoln Club ot Portland, the Prime Mover Hundreds ot Followers. Portland, Nov. 27.—At a mooting of the Lincoln Club, tonight, the sub-ooni mlttee on the formation of a Keed Club of Maine. consisting of Governor Cleaves, Col. T. P. Shaw, Hon. George P. Wescott, Hon. W. F. Mtlliken and E. P. Chase, reported that they had received letters from over 250 leading Republicans of Maine, all favorable to the idea. All express enthusiasm and resolve to further the candidacy of Hon. T. U. Reed. The same committee as aliove was appointed to nominate a list of Olli ers. “FIRST CITIZENS” By the Score Call Upon Ex-Speaker Reed at Washington. They Are All Willing to Be First’’ Also on House Committees. Washington, Nov. -.’7.—When Congress man Thomas B. Reed of Maine, was asked TltOMAS B. REED. by a friend if lie had been busy, today, he replied with a smile, that "Many of our first citizens called to pay their respects between breakfast and the dinner hour.” The "first citizens” referred to not only called in large numbers, but many placed their wishes in writing and left them with Mr. Reed's private secretary. For this reason three callers were busy in one of Mr. Reed s apartments at the Shore ham. today, briefing letters and writing out replies which Mr. Reed dictated. So far as can be learned, Mr. Reed has made no promises with respect to the chairmanship or committee assignments. Those sufficiently in his confidence to speak with intelligence regarding his views, ridicule the report that, when he arrived in Washington, Saturday, he brought with him a complete list of com mitteos. More than half of the next House is composed of new members, un trained in the methods of national legis lation, of whose capacities Mr. Reed had no knowledge. It is necsessary that he should meet the gentlemen, b arn their wishes, acquaint himself with their abilities. As it is, he has met only a part of the new men, tind it Is not improbable that he will wait until the older members of their delega tions are in town and learn from them something with reference to their new colleagues before completing the work. There are other considerations which must enter into the framing of the com mitteos which will delay their completion several weeks. It is believed that no one committee,except the committee on rules, will he announced in advance of the others. Mr. Reed is reported ns well satisfied with the new members who will form so large a part of the Republican majority. He finds that they "size up' well; they are, so far a- he can si*, fully up to the usual standard of congressmen generally. Tbe principal gossip about the hotels where politicians mainly congregate, is over the chairmanships of the ways and means and appropriations committees. It is suspected that Speaker Reed will confer the chairmanship in each case upon the ranking Republican member of tbe committee, which would give Mr. Payne of Xew York, the ways and means chairmanship, and Mr. Henderson of Iowa, the appropriation' chairmanship. CALLERS BY THE SCORE. Ex-Speaker Reed Has to Leave Hotel to Get Away from Visitors. Washington, Nov. 27.—Ex Speaker Ri-ed was up at an early hour, this morn ing. Iiut none ti>o early for the congress men who erowded to his rooms. None of the old members called, this morning. l>nt there were many of the new ones, several of whom went almost directly from the train to the Shoreham. At 11.30. Mr. Reed excused himself to bis callers and left his apartments to get some fresh air, which he did by means of a drive in the suburbs, not returning until luncheon. THE HOUSE OFFICERS.

In the Unitarian church, union services will be held, this morning, conducted by Rev. K. K. Newbert. In the evening, socials will be held at many of the churches, and everything will lie done to make them pleasant. Gaines will be played, and amusements of all kinds have been planned. There are many vlsitlDg their homes In the city, and today will bring many happy reunions. It is gratifying to loarn that the poor have been well looked out for and the sunshine of plenty will grace the board of many poor and deserving families. Yesterday, the Howard Benevolent Union was busy, very busy, sending out parcels of good things, and ISO families will eat their fill, today, in consequence. Besides this good work, there have been private donations, and there will be great rejoicing in many hearts, today, by those who have given, and those who will re ceive. ANTICIPATE THE DAY.

Nov. 27.—Information of a somewhat sensational character with ro siicct to the boundary dispute between Venezuela and Great Britain, leaked out here, today. A letier writt.n by a member of Presi dent Crespo’s cabinet to a friend In this country, discloses the fart that President Crespo’s absence froto the seat of govern ment.whleh attracted some attention, had a purpose In view. He has been eautlously sounding the governors of the different provinces of the republic as to the forces they can put Into the Held In esse of war. Assurances, it is said, were given that a well equipped army of 100.000 men could be mobilized In case the President should determine upon a movement against the British Guianan settlers on what is claimed is Venezuelan territory, with a view to driving them hack to the houn dary which the Venezuelans assert to he theirs, namely, back of the Kssittalbo river. While only part of this forco would lie necessary for the purpose. lOO.OOu men, President Crespo lielieved, would be necessary to meet the counter attack which British Guiana, with the aid of Great Britain,would make. A member of Congress from the North west, arrived here, today, bringing appll cations from five ex military men of prominence in Ids stale, for commissions in the Venezuelan army, iu the event of hostilities between that country and Great Britain. It Is assorted that many ex Confederates stand ready to volunteer for service In the Venezuelan army if war should break out. FRANCE AND MADAGASCAR.

She bids for the sympathy of Armen ians, Imping one day to be able to throw her troops across tha frontier and take from Turkey the provinces nearest the border. This could be accomplished best by the connivance and assistance of the Armenians; chletly by the latter asking Russia to eotrie to their assistance and re lieve thorn from the oppressions of the Turkish yoke. “Russia, the Armenians mice in her grasp, would change her attitude. What has she lies done to the Jews;- Can any one suppose that she would, after a little, treat the Armenians differently- She would begin shortly to proselytize and convert, and those who did not accept the orthodox faith would be its wretched under the Russian as under the Turk The Armenians prefer the slavery of the present rule to that slavery of which they know nothing. Ruder Russia, of course, there would lie no massacres, as Russia is Christian, hut there are other methods of oppression more terrible tu the Armenian than the mere killing of the body. At all events, under Turkey the religions practices of the Armenians are suffered. A change of Sultans would do no good. Turkey is the same under any ruler, and lias been so for centuries. A different ruler would erect nothing. What is wanted is a change of prac tice, a change in the management of the empire.

A Snap Shot’s Story. An enthusiastic Philadelphia amateur photographer caught a capital snap shot while at Asbury Park, showing a man who was pitched out of a rowboat just as it was being beached with a party from a yacht. The man struck the water hands tlrst. and the camera caught him with his heels high In the air. While traveling in the west the photographer met a company of gentlemen, and in the course of conver sation seashore experiences were token up. One of the group related that while at As bury Park he had had a queer adventure while coming in shore from a yacht. The amateur had the photograph in question with him and thereupon produced it. pic turing the lory occurrence of which the participant was telling.—Philadelphia Call._ Priests amt Heards.

I knew, as soon as I raw her, that there was I somet hing on her mind; and I knew she'll j feel better, anil niavbo 1 shonlil. [too, If she talked it out. 1 couiun t go to f ho mooting myself that week, because I'd twisted my ankle. What is it, Bttseyr" said I. I under stand Betsey, and she knows it. She didn t answer for as much as two minutes, maybe three, and I didn't re peat my question, nffc add anything to it. 1 here h nothing like silence for drawing out a person. It makes a vacuum, so to speak, and something has to come into it. And so she said, pretty goon, as if she j couldn t keep it in any longer, ‘Its a problem in sociology, Mrs. Pepptrsqueezer thinks; a case where we can't be our neighbor’s judge, Mrs. Amlabeila says; a question of heredity, .Mrs. Wasp believes. And maybe it is all true, lint it looks to me more likoa case of pure shiftlessness and natural laziness!” ‘You see,” she went on presently, for I didn’t s\y anything.and she had to, “you see, cold woathef came on early this year, and the circle Is getting its hands full, already, trying to make ono dollar do what it needs ten for, or at least drop ping two into a hole that ten wouldn't fill up. You know hew it is, every year. And there have been no in; calls than usual, his fall, ami they've begun earlier. And may he it was the worriment of it Induced some plain-speaking,—I'vo no ticed that it does sometimes. And any way, it wasn’t anything strange, or out of the way,—if Mrs. Annabel la did looked grieved over it,—-for Mrs. Peppersqutezer to jusi mention -ome facts about some of the eis -s. I was aware of Borne of them, myself, and of a few more, besides that I didn't speak of there.” “You know,’ sin- said, unpinning her shawl, and taking out her knitting, to ku?p mo company, “those Wileys are in a strait again. Anti, of course, they’ve mentioned their circumstances, .just in eidenl ally, they always do it incidentally, to Mrs Amlabeila, and she laid the matter before the circle. I don't stippos she could do any differently. And if she hadn’t, they’ll have let Us know some other way. Well, it’s coming cold weather, and the children need flannels, and shoes, and rubbers, and they’re ont of fuel and Hour and Mrs. Wiley lias been having one of her siek spells, anil Wiley is ont of a job.

Yes, they reel 1 help, anil have got to have it, and a good deal of It, unless they do what they never were known to do. turn around and help them selves.” “Yes. I know tbey'vo hail some draw backs, wlio of us hasn't? Ami know it’s something to do, as you’say, to feed and clothe six children, aud only one pair o' hands, and thrill not very capable ones to do it. If he did it! And I know they've had sickness, anil old folks to do for, and I ain't saying that It's out of the way for them to be helped to do it. But. I know one thing, if I had a hoy or a gltl to bring np, I'd teach them, as soon as I could teacli them anything, that it is next thing to stealing to live on what you don't pay for. If the Lord has made you able to do it It's dishonest, and worse, whether you go in debt for it, or beg for il on the street, or hint for it to some society. It Isn't disgraceful to be poor, or to go shabby; or, If you can’t help it, hungry. And. next to a good square meal, there's nothing more tilling than good honest pride. The kind. I mean, mat earns its own bread, and the butter for it, if it has any; that buys its own clothe?, if they aren't very stylish; and that we’ll wear an old coat, and a cl.cip hat, and coarse shoes, so be it can pay for them. That has red, rongh hands, quits likely, and maylm round shoulders; hut that earns the coat that covers them, and means to.” “There are some things that commonly go together" said Betsey. “Von hardly ever saw folks that wanted to be done for. that would lake care of things when they bad them, let alone scratching round for them when they were out of them. Now. the coat, we got Johnny Wiley last winter, the moths have been into. Besides. Mr Wiley was so particular that, it should bn a fit, that they say 't would have been too small for Johnny this year, anyway.

HENRY B. CLEAVES. By the Governor. Nicholas Fessenden, Secretary of State. THANKSGIVING. A PROCLAMATION. By the President. The constant goodness and forbearance of Almighty Clod which have been vouchsafed to the American people during the year which is just past, call for their sincere acknowledg ment and devout gratitude. To the end, therefore, that we may with thankful heirt* unite in extolling the loving care of our Heavenly Father. I, Grover Cleve land, President of the United States, do here by appoint und set apart Thursday, the twenty-eighth day of the present month of November, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, to be kept and observed by all our people. On that day let ns forego our usual occupa tions and in ojir accustomed places cf wor ship Join in rendering thanks to the Giver of every good and perfect gift for the bounteous returns that have rewarded our labors in the fields and in the busy marts of Cade, for the peace and order that have prevailed through out the land, for our protection from pesti lence and dire calamity and for the other biessiugs that have been showered upon tin from an open hand And with our ihanks f ivlngs let us humbly beseech the Lord to so ncline the hearts of our people unto Him that lie will not leave us nor forsake us as a nation, but will continue to us His mercy and protecting care, guiding us in the path of national prosperity and happiness, enduing us with rectitude and virtue and keeping a ive within us a patriotic love for the free institu tions which nave been given to us as our na tional heritage. And let us also, on the day of our thanks giving, especially remember the poor and needy, ana by deeds of charity let us show the sincerity of our gratitude. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to he ufiiied.

Secretary Carlisle has at last given signs of ability as a financier. He has offered to pay well for gold coins so 1 sully worn as not to be worth their face value. Hut will he be so inconsiderate as to pay for them in greenbacks? One might infer that the Missouri pastor, who so outrageously denounced our min ister to Turkey. had read Mrs. Poteat's tomtnyrol about Yale college, and was determined to outdo her. He did. But as he mode an ass of himself in doing it, the new woman should not feel envious. Spain didn't wait for many defeats of the Union arms tH'Iore recognizing the Southern Confederacy. Gen. Campos has, It. appeurs, met with several reverses, and yet he is whining against any recognition of the Insurgcuts' belligerent rights, it ox is gored. Thanksgiving Day. A year ago the people of this State had abundant cause for ^thanksgiving in the material benefit* they enjoyed, while un fortunately this could not be said with equal application in some of the other states of the country, keenly suffering from the effects of hard times.” This year Maine people may the better enjoy their Thanksgiving dinner in the knowl edge, that throughout the world there are more causes for rejoicing than twelve months back, and that meanwhile onr good State lias suffered no relapse from its healthy condition of business and the generous response of its fertility and other resources. Indeed it may be said of our crop bounty, "There was no winter in't; an autumn ’twas That srewthe more by reaping The life fed by the bounty of earth and sweetened by the airs of heaven" has been i specially bb ssid In the seasons of lhha. Though some crops have been too bountiful to lie very profitable, yet actual want has no safe abiding place from Kittery to Quoddy or from Matlnicusto the river St. Francis, except It lie among some of the fishing people along the coast, who relied altogether upon the fruits of the deep sea anil were disappointed. There doubtless are conditions to bo improved upon in the future; were there not progress would be at a standstill, but that person is an exception, who may not find in the fruits of the past year ample cause for the peace*, contentment and gratitude Inseparable from proper observance of the day set apart according to time honored custom, as Thanksgiving day. Without a Leg to Stand On. The value of Japan’s exports to the United States in 1893 was 87,739,45b yen —a yen has the nominal value of four shillings—while the value of her imports from this country was only 0,090,408 yen. In those same years the value of Japan’s exports to Great Britain was but 4,995, H75 yen while she purchased from Great Britain goods to the value of 87,929, 028 yen. Generally stated, Japan sells in the United Slates and buys in Great Britain. And right here we find a complete refuta tion of the theory, without which free trade has not a leg to slaud upon, the theory that if wo increase our purchase if a foreign people we also and In the same or nearly the same ratio would Increase our sales to that people; that the bottoms which bring O us the products of that people will take back to that country nut* products in exchange. When it is i *insbliTdd that our imports from Japan are largely in the nature of luxuries and that her purchases of us are so small, it is evident that the protection of American labor against deadly competition with Asiatic labor would he practically an unmlxcd blissing were it so high as to be actually prohibitive. If our people wish to derive whatever advantages there may be In the rare imitative skill of the Japanese they are willing to pay enough therefor to enable the artisan to live as a ivilized being, a useful member of loeiety. As the Japanese are quick'to nlopt progressive ideas and appear to be tide to readily assimilate with those timing whom they live there seems to be room enough In this country for all the Japanese artisans needed to supply our lemands for their work. Be that as it nay.lt is beyond question that the worse ban pauper paid labor of the Orient ihould not be permitted to enter into unrestrained competition with the labor if this country. It is noticeable that the 'ree trade theorist* have not cared to ouch upon this impending competition, l'he facts an* such that they will be roue lolled to establish altogether new theories lefore they can make any successful ittempt at bewildering the good sense of he people; indeed the facts ate ineontro rertible by any theories they may put orth. Place the Blame Where it Belongs. Armenian estimates of the number nf victims mill tIn■ property loss through Turkish fleudishness is 40,000 human beings slain and #50,000,000 worth of pro perty destroyed. This is likely to be somewhat exaggerated, but is near enough to the exact truth to make any otto with humane sensibilities bad like saying amen to the following telegram sent to the President by Senator Hoar: “You may depend upon my support in the Senate, both by speech and vote, of the most vigorous action you may take to prevent further cruelties toward the Armenians in Turkey, even If you deter mine to treat the persons who commit t hem as pirates or common enemies of t he human race Probably Senator Hoar does not expect this country to go to war with Turkey Ito enuse her troops have been killing her subjects. Such action would not be wise, although the provocation causes the blood to boil in righteous Indignation. But if any of the slaughtered Armenians are found to have liecn citizens of this country, if a single member of the noble 1 winds of American missionaries be killed, it devolves upon this country to exact reparation, if need be by war. But this is not all that should lie done. The brutal selfishness exhibited by the Kuroi>ean powers, that have it in their power to end this awful carnage; that had it in their power to prevent much of it. that today are virtually bargaining the lives of a Christian people in return for a trifling diplomatic advantage, should be rebuked by the United States as a |>eoplo. The stigma should lie fastened upon those who deserve it in sueh a manner as to attract tlie attention of the wimie world, and shame them into some definite action.

I* was originated in 1S10, by Dr. A* Tohnson, a good old fashioned Family Phy sician. for use in his own private practice, to relieve pain and cure every form of inflamma tion. It i» recommended by many physicians everywhere. It has soothed, healed and cured more diseases, and relieved more suffering for nearly a century, than any other medicine. Could a remedy have existed for over eighty years except for the fact that it does possess extraordinary merit for very many Family Ills? There is not a remedy in use today which has the confidence of the public to so great an ex tent as this wonderful Anodyne. It has stood upou its own intrinsic merit, while generation after generation have used it with entire satis faction, and handed down to their children a knowledge of its worth, as a Universal House hold Remedy, from infancy to good old age. It is the great vital and muscle nervine. The special Iprovince of this Anodyne is the cure of inflammation, internal or external. It is a fact, proven by the investigations of med ical science, that the real danger from disease is caused by inflammation; cure the inflamma tion and you have conquered the disease in each case.

JOHNSON 6c CO., 22 Custom House Street, Boston, Mass« fanatical Turks. Thu civilized world has known whar they were since Mohammed II raised the orescent into the place of the cross over the shrines of St. Sophia in Constantinople. His rule has been recog nized as a curse during the four hundred and fifty years he lias been permitted to misgovern, degrade and brutalize some of the fairest portions of Europe and Asia Minor, simply because the accursed jeal ousy of European governments did not allow concerted action to overthrow the Turkish power. To this jealousy, as keen today as then, is to be attributed as much blame as can lie laid to the fiendish Turk. The Crimean war was fought to maintain this misgovernment. The Bulgarian atrocities of 1870 occurred beeauso of this impotent jealousy. Ashamed of their own criminal accountability for these, the powers promised to take such action as would prevent their recurrence. In stead of doing this they have allowed a slaughter, which surpasses in every re spect that of 1ST0. The wily Turk has hern encouraged to this undoubted attempt to destroy his Christian neigh bors. because lie knew diplomatic deviltry would wink at it. England, Germany and France would open up the "dark continent-’ to enlightenment, Russia and England would each gladly assume the responsibility of enlightening the Orient. England would steal enough land to con trol that great artery of South America, ihe Orinoco river; she sends her police to maintain "good order-’ in tiie neighbor hood of the United States gold mines ill Alaska. France has just finished her efforts at “civilizing” Madagascar; and yet all of them say they cannot prevent the greatest crime of the Kith century from heiog perpetrated in their adjacent back yards. It is worse than infamous. The occasion of tile presentation of the State's offering to the magnificent war sliip th.it hears her name, was mie admir ably calculated t inspire eloquence. It was off the Maine coast that the British colors were lowered early in tho Revolu tion. The early settlers of what is now Portland, loyally sacrificed property and life in tho cause of American freedom. No state in tho Union is more interested in the building of an adequate navy, for her shores would very likely bo a thejtre of naval warfare, especially in event of hostilities with Great Britain. Gov. Cleaves, in view of his efforts In the past, might well he expected to deliver an address which would lie in harmony with the spirit of this occasion. But he sur passed expectations. His address was a model; patriotic,dignified, eloquent, aide; an address wo hope the peoplo of the State will have opportunity to read. j i Purest and lightest,' j sweetest and whitest—, j For the breakfast table J, I the most delicious and i nutritious breakfastdish C, to be had.

AT THE HOSPITAL Pleasant Opening of the Season ol Enter tainments. The season of entertainments at the hospital has eommenced, and. Tuesday evening, a select party consisting of Miss Mabel Gould. Maude Sanborn. Mrs. Alice Clark. Mr. Walter Harding and Mr. Bert Worthing, under the instruction of Dr. E. V. Baker and Mrs. Vaughan, presented a drama called “A Box of Monkeys.” The company had gone through a thor ough drill and practice under competent in struction, and appeared to have full confi dence and ability to act their parts well, which the audience afterward fully shared. The Coburn Amusement hall was well Ailed hythe patients,and there appeared to he an expectancy that there was to he a pleasant entcrtainment.and the loud and frequent cheers from the patients fully es tablished the fact Mrs. Clark represented “Omlhego Joues, the aristocratic aunt of New York, ami her dress was well adapted to the character, and she well un derstood and rendered the dignity and position she occupied. Miss Mabel Gonld appeared as “the Western American girl," and she was dressed in fine taste and performed her part in an admirable manner. Miss Mamie Sanborn was selected to represent the “English girl.” and the selection wns very fortunate, and her fine dress and dignity was very becoming and made her very attractive. Bert Worthing had perhaps the most ditlicult part in the play, and his introduction as the “English Cousin” showed that he was equal to the occasion, and his shyness and bashfulness was well characterized, and created much amusement. Walter Harding appeared as the “butler,” and as the lover of “Sierra,” performed his part in a very satisfactory manner, eliciting much applause. The evening was so stormy that the au dience was almost entirely made up of the home family, but the hoard of trustees, who were holding a meeting, was fully repre sented and appeared to enjoy the enter tainment. The orchestra, composed en tirely of local hospital talent, was equal In ability and execution to anything that ap pears in our most fashionable entertain ments. _ THANKSGIVING DANCE. Very Successful and Enjoyable Affair in Aid ot the Kennebecs. Il was a thoroughly jovial affair, the dance given, Wednesday evening, in Meonian hall for the benefit of the Ken nebee Base Ball Co. The concert by Higgins' Orchestra, which preceded the dance, was very en joyable and many came, early and took possession of the balconies to listen, and to watch the dancing, which commenced at 0 o'clock. The concert was of Higgins' best selections and gave perfect satis faction. Promptly at it o'clock, the dancing commenced, and was continued until a late hour. (toe feature of the dance was especially interesting, the meeting again of many of the devotees of the national game, and some who play ball had an opportunity of showing that they can dance as well. The dance was conducted In a very sue ecssful manner, rellecting cred.t on those in charge. Many couples, during intermission, took advantage of the fine oyster supper furnished at Woeveis restaurant. AMUSEMENTS. Gilmore’s Famous Band—Special Matinee at Opera House. Friday at 1.30 P. M. Of Gilmore's Famous Band which wil^ appear in gratid concert at the Opera House Friday afternoon, at 1.30 sharp, a south ern critic recently said in an extended review: “Victor Herbert has indeed wrought wonders with the old organ ization, which as a military liand was once the brilliant Gilmore s pride. But It is changed now. It is no more a mere band than it is a fife and drum corps. It> music is glorious. Certainly in the ljeanty,technical skill and finish and the exquisite instinct with which it takes up the l>est of modern classic works, it is a close rival of the greatest of the orchestras. This could not be truthfully said of it in Gilmor’se day.” This verdict upon the new Gilmore s under Victor Herbert’s masterful direc tion is almost daily verified by critics everywhere. All the soloists will be with the liuud here and also Miss Ida Klein, the celebrated prima donna. There has been a good advance sale. Below is the programme to be given here: Overture—William Tell, Aria—“Roberto,” _ Miss Ida Klein. Scenes from Faust, Violoncello Solo—Serenade, Mr. Victor Herbert. Scenes Xeapolitaines, 1.
