FITZSIMMONS KICKS Siler's Inlerpretallen «f Qmenibury R«l« Ralm a Raw. Carson, Nev., March IS.—Dan Stuart yesterday paid a visit to Fitzsimmons, j for the purpose of coming to some un I derslandtng with him on the question of i Mr. Siler’s Interpretation of the rules to be used In the coming battle. I The conference was long and ani mated. Hoth Fits and Julian object i strenuously to the clause permitting punching In the clinches and on the breakaways. As yet they have not re ceded from their objections, and all Stuart's talk was thrown away. DAX STCABfc "The only thing for you to do, Fitz simmons,” said Stuart, "Is to come to some agreement on this thing, and the Bourn r you do it the better it will be for all concerned. What'we want, and all that Siler wants, is for you and Corbett to agree on something that will suit you I nth. and something that will be fair to u both. Now. I suggest that one of your men and one of Corbett's men meet me at my office tomorrow afternoon, and we can talk the matter over and see if some agreement cannot he reached’ "That suits me," replied Fitzsimmons, want nothing but what is fair to both, and If I have a man present when the agreement is made that is all I can ask.” He wanted to know how Corbett vlciwed the proposition for a conference, and when told that it was agreeable to the champion he again expressed him self: "I don't know, though. Dan,” he said, "as 1 will be ready to enter the ring on the day agreed upon.” Stuart is pale from his recent sick ness. but he turned about three shades paler when he heard Fitz declare him self to this effect. "Why can't you? What on earth Is the matter with you?” Stuart asked anxiously. "Well, you see,” said Bob, "I have hurt one of my hands, and I do not think that I can possibly get into shape to fight on the 17th.” Stuart's faro fell several degree*. and Rob, seeing his distress, danced around the room like a schoolboy. “One must I have fun out in this country,” said Bob. 1 "I w as only fooling. Dan. and my hands and all the rest of me are in the best sort of condition, and nobody will find that •out better than one Corbett when I see him on the 17th of March.” Stuart left the Fitzsimmons’ camp with the positive assurance that Fits will lie represented at the conference at his office. The consent of the Cor lett people was obtained without trouble. Fitz took It rather easy yesterday, the principal part of his work being a 10 mile run on the road. In the afternoon i he sparred 10 rounds with Hickey and stcnzlt r. nnd wrestled a little with Iloeber. and wound up his work by punching the bag. “I am not making any objections to I the rules as a whole.” said Fltz: “all I want is to keep the other fellows from getting any advantage over me. I want an even show and nothing more than that. I know that I can lick Corbett, and I will do it if they do not work any fine schemes on me, and 1 do not intend that they shall. That is all fhere is to It." James J. Corbett Intended to send a letter to Filer, the referee of the fight, regarding the latter’s interpretation of Marquis of Queensberry rules, but the plan for a conference changed matters. “I am not going to say anything,” said Corbett, “hut the conference will fix things. I understand that Fitzsim mons is kicking on the rules, just as I said he would. I don't care to say any thing until I know just what he objects to in particular. He may object to some things that 1 consider very essen tia! and against things which he finds fault with may he trifling, and in that event I do not wish to oppose any ob jections. no matter if they are more favorable to him than to me. All I care about Is to keep Fitz from getting any undue advantage. I want nothing my t.df that I am not willing to coneeds to him, and there is no use of my telling f.iler that 1 agree to a thing or object to that thing until I know what Fitz is making a kick about. If ho makes no tomp'.aint of Siler’s construction of the rules I will not. £!ut it would be bad policy for mo, at the present time, to agree to anything or object to anything Until I know where the sore spot is with Fttzl If he is of the same opinion that I am on things there will be very little trouble, but ho is a chronic kicker, and he never was anything else, and in my opinion, as long as he has a chance to object to anything he is going to do it. “I think it is a gqpd thing, however." continued Corbetf, "that Siler gave out Ills letter when he did. It is better for us to talk for a week in advance of the light than to talk for a week after we get Into the ring," Corbett’s work yesterday consisted of tlie regular run on the road, the cham pion covering about 10 miles with Jef fries for a companion. In the afternoon he punched the bag and sparred with his trainers. Will .1 nilge Harvard-Tale Debate. Cambridge.

Ne t only is this demand large In Augusta, but It applies as well to all towns surrounding us. Everywhere Dr. HobbS' Sparagus Kidney Pills seem to l.e in general demand. The medical fraternity look on with wonder at the cures dally made by this remedy. A physician was recently overheard to say: "I have never in my life had faith in anything advertised as a medicine until recently, but I must confcssthat I really do believe that Dr. Hobbs’ i-’paragus Kidney Pills are a remedy of great worth. I got a sam ple box of these pills and used them in my practice. Several of my patients have been taking them, and have ex perienced a great change for the bet ter." The physician who made this remark has little Idea that It would ever ap pear In print. At all events, he de serves great credit for his frank and honest confession. Any physician who is honest should prescribe for his patients that which will do-the most good. A Miracle. A Remarkable Care of Dropsy Alter Fisa Years of Agony. 29 For.da St.. Williamsport, Pa..

Two years ago she was so sick that she was compelled to stop work of every kind. The best physicians in this city were secured, but she grew worse so rapidly and her heart so bad, that a year ago they said nothing more could be done for her, as death was liable to come at any time. At this time she measured tea feet around the waist, and weighed over 30j pounds. Owing to her heart trouble, the doctors would not tap her, only to keep her from bursting. These opera tions did no good as they failed to get a drop cf water from her. claiming that it was in sack3 all over her body, and they couldn’t reach it. For four months she could neither lie down or walk. The longest sleep she had dur ing that time was 25 minutes. The smallest cracker would distress her so that she could Wardly breathe, yet she dare not take stimulants. Her suffer ing was so teiTible that she prayed day and night for death to relieve her from her miseries. Her kidneys did not act more than one gill in 48 hours, and tfien thick with brick dust. Her bowels could only be moved under the most wretched powerful cathartics pre scribed by the physician. About this time I snw an advertisement of Dr. Hobbs' Sparagus Kidney Pills in the Williamsport Sun. I determined to try a l>ox. My wife objected to my spend ing a ny more money on her. as she felt that she was past all help. However, she began taking them at once. The fourth day they began to do their work when she passed two gallons of wster in 24 hours, J then got some of Dr. Hobbs' Little Liver Pills, and they did their work equally as well. After us ing eight 1k>xp3 of Dr. Hobbs’ Spara gus Kidney Pills she is reduced to her normal weight of about 145 pounds. She has a good appetite, and is doing her own work. People who knew how near she was to death's door pronoun ced her case nothing less than a mira cle. She Is certainly a living monument to the inestimable worth of Dr. Hobbs’ Sparagus Kidney Pills and Little Liver Pills. I am thankful to God and your valuable medicines that my poor suf fering wife can live and he comfortable after the terrible ordeal she has passed through during the past five years. If you wish an Affidavit of these facts I am willing to give it. Yours gratefully. C'has. H. Hall. Dr. Hobbs’ Sparagus Kidney Pills 50 cents a box or 6 for 52.50. FOR SALK BY C. B.

(Continued from page 1.) 9n cross examination, he testified that the dates were kept in the diary as the occurrences took place; that he did not disclose that he kept such i diary to any reporter before the grand jury or at the trial and conviction of Nelson. Thought he gave the dates to the Dewlston journal reporter. The search warrant he had, on October lit was sworn out, August 25. Was satis fled Nelson and Kelly were the guilty parties, but delayed using the search warrant in hopes to find some positive evidence against them, not being sure he should find any stolen goods on the premises. Witness did not state at the trial of Nelson in December what conversation he had with Nelson behind the barn, or that he had had any. The questions Nelson then asked were strong evi dence to his mind that Nelson was guilty. Did not recollect of telling that conversation to the county attorney. Had handcuffs, but did not put thein on to Nelson because he was saving them for Kelley. Nelson was large and strong and would lie the more danger ous man in a rough and tumble tight. Did not consider that Nelson was un der his care, nor know that he had actually been arrested, at the house before his escape, but supposed the in tention was to keep him amt not allow him to go. It was in the house that Nelson asked to so out and said he had sot thole distance with him down round the corner of the shed and up behind the barn. Asked nobody to g. with them. He could have Rone inti the barnyard, or behind th^ hen house, which would have been secluded, ex cept for neighbors above. Don’t think hej could have been seen from the barn yard. Told the way Nelson escap 'd when be returned to the yard. At this point, the plaintiffs rested their case and the defendants resumed. John H. McCone was recalled and denied the conversation as testified to by McNally at the railroad station in Clinton, and at Clinton village. H. testified that there was no unpleasant ness between them. Witness had pleaded redo contendere to the charge against him. Question. And did you at the time, and have you sir.ee, pretested you’- in nocence of that charge? (Objected to and excluded, on the ground that the record could not be impeached.) Warren r'. Phil brook, formerly judge of the municipal court of Waterville. and now a member of the House of Representatives, testified he had live 1 in Waterville for the past seven or eight years and knew J. H. McCone, and that his present reputation in that community for honesty and truth was good. Perham S. Heald, a merchant of Waterville ahd a member of the State Senate, testified that he knew J. II McCone and that his reputation for honesty and truth in that community was good. A. L. McFadden, sheriff, and former ly a deputy sheriff and city marshal of Waterville, knew McCone and had for 10 or 15 years. His present general reputation in that community for honesty and truth was good. Had known of the old criminal refold against him since he had l>een in Waterville. Samuel Burleigh, publisher of the Waterville Sentinel, lived in Water ville and knew McCone's general rep utation for honesty and truth, and it was good. Henry A. Wing of Lewiston, a news paper correspondent and a member of Governor Power's staff, knew MeCen in Auburn in 1802 ar.d since.

Bill relating t after tin word Information.' the words relating to the public schools.” The amendment was adopted, the bill was read a third time and was passed to be engrossed as amended. On motion of Mr. King of Caribou, re solve in favor of the town of Caribou was taken from the table, and on fur ther motion li.* the same gentleman it was referred io the Governor and Council. On motion o Mr. Pattangallof Machias. lid an act arm nding section 2S. of chapter 11. of the Revised Statutes, as amended by chapter -IS. of the Public Raws of ISO:;, etc., relating to free high schools, was taken from the table. Mr. Pattungall of Machias. moved a re consideration of the vote whereby the amendment of the gentleman from Sulli van (Mr. Roynton) was adopted. The bill amends the old law by inserting this clause, "provided that such a course of study is followed in said schools as is ap proved by the State superintendent of schools.' The amendment offered by the gentleman from Sullivan, does not afft et that portion of the bill. The next sentence is this "Hut no such aid shall b* extended, directly or Indirectly, to any school which receives from the State any spt rial appropriation.” This last sentence which 1 have just read is stricken out by the amendment of the gentleman from Sullivan. The hill was offered for thb: purpose: under the present high school law no high school, no matter how efficient its work may la*, ran receive from the State more than a year. In 1N01 the State commenced the practice of appropriatingtoacademb s special sums of money ranging from to and in som0 in all that a town maintaining an academy can receive from the State: whereas a town maintaining a high school, or calling a school a high r.ehool—for in many eases the difference, is only in name—under any circumstances can receive but $250. This seemed so in equitable that this bill was offered to cor rect It. There are now KX academies re ceiving aid from the State. These ;;s academies receive on an average $650 a year. There are 264 high schools receiv in aid from the State. Those high schools receive $11*0 apiece on an average. So that we are discriminating against the public schools so to speak and in favor of the private schools in the proportion of $120 against $650. The amendment is nr. vnequitaoie to ward acaaemiea as toward High schools. Some of the best academics in the State arc so*located that they cannot take ad vantage of the High school act. The re sult fs that like academics are receiving, one $750 from the State, the other $500 from the State. Under this system an abuse has grown up which is going to be a bad thing. The High schools have caught on to this thing, and every year some High school that is controlled by the town, that is, under the public school law. as every school omr.«i to be. g«lts a special charter, turns itself into an acad emy. receives its old stipend as a High school anil gets a special appropriation of S500 besides. If it is the sentiment of this Legislature that one High school should draw three times what another draws, then the law should be abolished, and the amendment offered by the gentle man from Sullivan should not be pre sented. for that amendment takes from the bill all that there is to the bill. 1 ask you to give this matter fair consideration. Mr. Boynton of Sullivan: A good phy sician. if anything- ails his patient, does not kill him in Order to cure him. If there arc abuses existing relative to ap propriations for academies, let us got at them in a proper way and not do it by withdrawing from them the High school fund. I submit that the efficiency of many small academies is gredtly in creased by having the High school fund to depend upon. I fiuomu nun inrae ap propriations which are derived from the State for the academies and the amount which they receive from the High school land brings about a wider distribution of educational advantages than any other system which we can propose. It should he kept within proper hounds, but tne nrinciple of the thing is all right. We have now an excellent common school system. We should have a good system of High schools and academies as the next step. This House has appropriated S'Je.Ow) a year for the State college. There should be titling schobls which shall make an appropriate foundation for the proposed University of Maine. I submit that everything should not go to the State college. 1 am tt friend of the State college, but let us look out for some of the other institutions of learning. Let us furnish institutions where pupils can go to school who never can hope to reaeh the/college. Bet. us benefit our common people by looking out for the academies. Do not. in the name of Heaven, strike this blow at our academies. Mr. Gowell of Berwick: 1 should con sider myself redreant to the trust im posed on me by m.v constituents If I did not say a word In behalf of the country academy. In ray opinion there is no money which the legislature appropri ates for educational purposes that Is ap preciated so much l>y the masses of the hard-working people and the tax^payters as these small aims of money that are appropriated for our schools and acad emies. l think this hill which was png seated by mv frtond from MaclilaS Pattangall) would be a detriment to thosition. 1 hope the amendment will not prevail. Mr. Blanchard of Wilton: I understand by this bill that It gives the towns a chance to raise money for free High schools, and they also receive aid for an academy, and they can make a trade with the trustees of the academy and can maintain a far better school than could be maintained if they received only the free High school money. I believe it is for the Interest of the rural sectl ins of this State that money should be given for the academics and that they should Is* :Uso enabled to receive the free High school money. I hope that the amend ment will prevail. Mr. Pattnngall of Mat hias: GentI. men have discussed this question as though it was proposed to take from the ac-nd raies the amount of thtir appropriations. That bill was Pot intended and will not take trom any academy any approptii tloit that has b#*n granted. It will sim ply bar it from receiving an appropria tion at your hands of anything over the mount it Is getting under the general law. and prevents them from getting $25» more, we simply ask them to tak consider this mat ter before they vote to strike at th» for to 2S against. The question being on the adoption of The Science of Making Money. A m:in who ran make money in leglti mato business enterprises in times like these, surely has Ills methods reduced to a science, and yet strange ;o say millions of dollars are lying ime at the present moment awaiting investments, and as soon as the feeling of confidence becomes more manifest tho wheels of our fac tories, the looms or our mins and the furnaces of our foundries will once more start in active operation. Our country at tho present lime is not suffering from over production, in fact we are running as close to the wind (so to speak) as is possible, the clouds are gradually lifting from our troubles, and we are beginning to seo clear sailing ahead. We believe that we are on the eve of a general re vival of business enterprises, which is always reflected in the stock market, as the securities dealt In on the exchanges are bound to reap the benefits of a revival of business, which has for a long peiiod remain'd stagnant. Investments made In certain stocks at proper limes show large and sometimes enormous profits from a comparatively small beginning, provided tho purchase of the same is made understaHdingly and based on actual facts as regards their true worth. It does not follow because a stock is low ...at it Is cheap. It may he dear at any twice, hut If you can get at tho actual facts an opinion can be formed, and an Investment made that will prove very profitable in the end.

The heavy sea which was head over the ship partly filled her engine room with water and shifted the cargo, making it necessary to call u|M>n the passengers to help remove the water and right the vessel. For more than two weeks the ship's fires were out. and owing to a scarcity of drinking wa ter and the failure of the condensers to work, it became necessary to throw* over board 207 head of cattle. 74 sheep and :2 horses. The officers and crew of the Lake Win nipeg. as well as the passengers, of whom there >v</re 12. agree that the ship narrow ly escaped foundering.

The coming summer is not to l>c without an attempt to reach the north pole, unless the unforeseen happens to M. A octree's plan to leave Spitsbergen in a balloon in the belief that he will be able to drift over the pole. Many will remember that he intended to under take this last year, hut the favorable weather ended l>efore he eould com plete his preparations. The govern ment of Sweden aids the enterprise. Mr. Andree will carry about four months' supplies or food with him, in addition to his boat, a folding affair, that packs away neatly above his ear. his sledges and other equipment. If he has a good wind from the south, he thinks he will be in the neighborhood of the north pole in a day and a half to two_days after starting. His hope is that he will be carried across the po lar area. What he wants is a south wind with a slowly falling barometer, for he believes that under such condi tions the wind will persist in the right direction as long as he has need of it. liven if Andree crosses the polar area end lives to get back, the difficulty will be to do any exploring that will amount to much. One of the most interesting questions to be solved when Mr. Peary’s plan for completing exploration be tween Greenland and the north pole is carried out is whether the deep sea dis overed by Nansen and traced to the north of Franz Josef Land extends into American arctic wateis. That ques tion. and many others that still make polar research worth while in th opinion of the scientists, cannot it would seem be settled from a balloon. Nevertheless there is as much incen tive for this undertaking as for the majority of the attempts that have been made to reach the farthest north ern point of the earth. Perhaps.

The recent mysterious disappearance of a Portland man has led to a ludi crous denouement in one respect. A report that he had been found In Wash ington was soon aftt r followed by one that a clairvoyant had informed Ills friends that he could lie found there and had described all thecircumstances connected with his disappearance. Now to the discomfiture of the one or ones responsible fer the clairvoyant story the first report Is found to be false and Ills whereabouts are sur ruunded in mystery as deeply as ever. Blood. Iron and Gold. X. Y. Tribune. The historic phrase "My royal miisln*’ is nu mere fiction In Europe at this tint**. Most of the reigning families ar»* inti mately related to each other by ties of birth or marriage. And that fact Is often referred to as a guarantee of pence tween the nations. A little observation is sufficient, however, to show how futile :>ueh a guarantee is. For. In the first place, sovereigns do not always rule. Most wars are popular wars, and not a few have been irresistibly forced upon the monarehs by the people. King George of the Hellenes, for example, is at the present moment jioWerless beneath the stress of pnblie sentThietit. Doubtless he agrees with that sentiment. Hut if hr did not. ami tib*d to oppose and to sup press it. he would probably be swept from his throne by a revolution. And In the second place, the closest kinship be tween sovereigns is not the slightest pledge of amicable relations. For instance, take the dynasties of Hreat Britain and Russia. In tin* last reign before tin- present tin Russian Kin press was the sister of the Princess of Wales, and the present Kmpress is a grand daughter of Queen Victoria. Yet antagonism between the two realms lias been unconcealed and these relationships have done nothing to allay it. Great Britain and Germany are at loggerheads, and the German Emperor is personally a particularly bitter foe of England; vet that Kmperor is a grandson of the Eng lish Queen. An equally impressive ex ample to the same effect is given in the present case of Greece. Khig George is he brother of the Czar's mother, and thus the Czar's own uncle, and Prince George is the Czar’s own cousin and was the savior of the Czar's life; and the Crown Princess. Sophia, is the German Emperor s sister. Yet Russia and Ger m;uiy are in this crisis the implacable foes of Greece, and their enmity is due chiefly to the personal enmity of their sovereigns. Blood counts for little in the iron game «>t war. The only thing that can match iron is gold. It was wyll pointed out by a writer in last Sunday's Triluyie that the real bonds of peace in Europe are not marriage certificates nor registers of birth, but the literal bonds of financiers, which represent the indebtedness of the .nations. If the Turkish empire is de stroyod. who will pay the Turkish debt? I hat Is the phase of the eastern question which is foremost in the minds of manv. and they not the least influential of meii.

Bill Regulating Admission ot Attorneys Afternoon Committee Work. The 10th week eloped Ha legislative work Friday ttootl and for the 10th time the members hurried ofT home for Sunday visit without remaining for a Saturday session. It is commonly agreed that adjournment will come in two weeks more, but the disposition to rush matters is not yet very apparent. Next week there Is only a little com mittee work on the programme and it is likely two sessions will become in or der. and possibly a Saturday session. Yesterday morning's session of the House continued two hours and was full of business. Of the three bills as signed for the day the one abolishing days of grace was passed without a murmur of opposition: the one relating to the packing of sardines, with five amendments tanked on by Gen. Mur ray ot Pembroke, was finally passed after an animated debate resulting in the rejection of an amendment by Mr. Newcomb of Eastport,designed to keep the close time as at present; and the one relating to free high schools was the occasion of an hour'sdebate partici pated in by Boynton of Sullivan. l'at tangall ot' Machias, Burns of West brook: Smith of Hampden ;Hamilton of Biddeford,Blanchard of Wilton.Walton of Skowhegan and others. This bill con tains a provision that no school receiv ing State aid as a free high school shall also receive aid as an academy and the debate was on Mr. Boynton's amendment striking out this provis ion. There was much confusion as to the real meaning of the bill and amend ment. and finally on motion of Mr. Merrill of Portland, both were laid over for'consideration later. A dozen measures lying on the table "ere taken up and pushed alongon their passage without opposition. Among the many spectators present were a score of Monmouth academy pupils and teach ers.

Speaker and Mrs. Larrabee went to Portland. The judiciary committee had only one hearing, Friday afternoon. This was on the act to incorporate the new city hall commission of Watervllle, drawn tip by Judge Phllbrook. Some opposi tion to the bill has developed in Water ville and K. F. Webb was present as counsel for the remonstrants. Among those present to oppose the creation of the commission were I. C. Libby, ex Mayor Nathaniel Header, W. it. K. Abbott, Alderman Boutelle, Chas. Al den. It. W. Dunn, Howard W. Morse. J. F. Alden, Martin ltlaisdcll and rt. L. Proctor. M. C. Foster was one of those pres ent in favor of the commission. K. T. Wyman of the Watervllle Mail, was also present. The committee talked over the matter with those present end tabled the bill for action In executive session, later. The ground for the op position to the hall and the commission is the increase in taxation that will follow. The committee voted to refer to the next Legislature the matter of a muni cipal court nt Kastport and In western Washington county, and "ought to pass" on the bill relating to tax suits. Tlte State House lioilers were inspect ed, Friday, by a representative of the Hartford Steam Boiler Insurance and Inspection Company, and the elevator by a representative of the Whittier Ma chine Company of Boston, and both were found in perfect condition.

The committee on sea and shore fish eries had a hearing, Friday afternoon, on the bill granting Susan S. B. Spring of Portland the right to maintain a dam in Harpswell for the purpose of retaining tide water for the culture of fish. Representative Holbrook of Brunswick appeared to oppose the bill. This bill had been reported favorably by the legal affairs committee and in the House was referred to this commit tee. Byron D. Verrill of Portland ap peared as counsel for the petitioner, and had several witnesses. The com mittee took no action on the matter. fFor regular proceedings, routine mat ters. remarks, etc., see official steno graphic report in another column.) Lecture on German Literature.

Dennis Myrlck, who died recently at Troy, aged 90 years, had lived on the same farm 05 years. Portland's city onysician says his work has increased to such an extent that his salary should be more than $800. •no Lewiston lumber concern is getting out the dimensions for fourteen new houses to be built next summer.

Sagadahoc District Lodge Good Tem plars will hold the next quarterly session with Merrymeeting Lodge, Bowdoinnam, Wednesday. April 14. Mrs. Webber of Clinton, who was shot by her husband early in the winter and in whose body are now embedded tne three bullets, has apparently regained her strength. The engagement is announced of the Rev. Daniel S. Kerr, pastor of the Last Bueksport church, to Miss Addle 1>. pan horn. principal of the Whitman school. Whitman. Mass. There are now at the hatching house at Cold Stream lake in Enfield. 300.000 At lantic salmon eggs to he distributed in the Penobscot waters according to the orders of the fish and game commlsslon Ex-Governor Ruble, at the time of the erection of the Gorham Normal school building generously donated $2000 for that purpose. He has now given $2000 adui tional toward the erection, of the new normal school dormitory. One of the peculiarities of the trans continental freight business is seen in the fact that while the freight from San Francisco to Chicago is 75 cents per 100 lbs. and to Cincinnati 80 cents: to Port land (Me.) it is only 00 cents per luO lbs. Col. F. E. Boothby. the new president of the Portland board of trade, is inter esting a large number of young men to become members. He is succeeding very well for he has already secured 100 new members. When President Boothby was elected the membership was about 350. Mr. McEgun of Patten, who was so se riously hurt upon the head over a year ago. has not been able to do but two or three days’ work since that time. The skull opens for a while each day. then gradually closes again. His stomach re fuses to contain only a certain amount of food. Before his hurt he smoked near ly all the time: the thought of the pipe now turns him sick. The Spring Point Ledge lighthouse and the fog signal house will be a special point of interest to Portland residents and visitors if for no other reason than its peculiarities. Peculiar from the fact that it is the only lighthouse in this vi cinity that is surrounded by water alone. The light was to have been fin islied by March 1. but from good author ity it has been learned that an extension of one month's time has been asked by the contractors and granted, so. about April 1. the first rays from the light will beam benignly forth upon the harbor waters. The Biddeford Record reports several cases of what is known as Riggs' disease of the gums. It seems according to den tists. that it is no new disease though there have been of late an unusual num ber of local cases. The teeth loosen un til they can be pulled without pain and in fact there is no pain attendant except that the gums become very sensitive and sore. Several eases in Saco are reported in which people have lost anywhere from two or three to eight or ten teeth which were sound except for the diseased gums. Local dentists say that if season ably treated the absorption or shrinkage of the gum can be arrested and the teeth rendered firm, but usually the trouble has progressed too far before the dentist is consulted. In such cases there is noth ing to be done but remove the teeth. The schooner Wyer G. Sargent, built in Sedgwick. Me., lias had rather a re markable career. She was abandoned at sea March 31. 1891. in latitude 34.12. long itude 74.40 and lias been cruising on her own account ever since* After battling with the storms of the Atlantic for near ly six years, she has drifted ashore on the uninhabited island of Conception, one of the most dangerous of the Ba hamas. and there will end her days. She is shattered and covered with barnacles. Her cargo of lumber has long ago been emptied into the sea through her cap sizing. but her stout hull is still held to gether as firmly as the day on which sin was launched at Sedgwick. Maine, in 1881. Her courses about the Atlantic were for months most accurately plotted on the pilot charts issued by the hydro graphic department at Washington. Her drift was indeed more singular than that of the famous old schooner \Y. L. White, which, although abandoned in the same locality, drifted ashore ten months after wards al the Hebrides islands, off the northwest const of Scotland. The Sar gent in about three months from the date of her abandonment, reached the center of the North Atlantic. Here sin drifted about in a most peculiar manner for some time until October 12. 1892. when she got into the Sargasso sea and experi enced ship masters do not doubt that in this sea she remained until carried out of iis influence by unusually fierce gales tills last winter.

K*v and Common-Sense Troth About tho Stomach That Shoold Bo of Pocollar Taloo to Thousands. From the Boston Herald, Feb. IS, 1897. Tho most Important thing In the world Is health. Health means more than the absence of disease; It means strength, will, energy, zeal, happiness —the power to do and enjoy things. Perfect health is so rare that we re gard it as a special gift. Nature in tended that disease, not health, should be rare. We are just finding out that it is natural to be well, and learning what it Is that makes people well and keeps them well. The Idea that the source of all health and strength lies in the stomach is not new, but to prove this beyond doubt, and to make the knowledge of practi cal use, is one of the latest services of science. The real functions of the stomach, and their relations to per fect health, are Just being learned. Important results will follow. A new science of medicine may result; per haps, in time, we can do away with medicine altogether. People, as a rule, know very little about the stomach. They ought to know more, for the knowledge is of vital importance. The following information ought to be worth to many all that health is worth: The human body is an auto matic, self-repairing, self-adjusting machine, that would probably run a hundred years or more, if proper ma terials were supplied to it through the stomach. The burning of fuel in the fire-box of an engine is a rough illus tration of the function of digestion. The burning of the fuel is a chemical action. This action produces energy, and the energy is converted into me chanical force. The same odd transformation is tak ing place in your stomach all the time, but it is only one of the things the stomach is called on to do. Our bodies require electrical energy, heat energy, and mechanical energy. They also re quire materials for growth and repair. The source of all this is the food, and, through the work of the stomach, the food is converted into the various kinds of force required to keep us alive, and into the elements needed for the re pair of the every-day wear and tear. If we are unable to digest enough food to take the place of the material con stantly destroyed, our organs and tis sues must suffer, and a host of ail ments come as a result of this lack of repair. Disease cannot possibly come unless Invited by some internal weakness. If you will remember this, and, also, re member that as Ions os digestion and nutrition are perfect, there can be no weakness, you will know the secret of health. The remarkable functions of the stomach can, perhaps, he better understood through an illustration of the power it produces. Most of the energy in the food we eat goes to keep th blood at an even tem perature. If the heat energy, developed every day by our stomachs, were con verted into mechanical energy, there would be power enough produced to lift our bodies directly up into the air to a height of eight miles. In addition to producing this heat, the stomach must constantly supply new tissues and furnish the power for all our men tal and physical activity. In this connection it will be well to tell something of the structure of the stomach, and explain, briefly, the pro cess of digestion. Reference to the drawing here shown may help in un derstanding the matter. An outline view of the Human Stomach, with the front wall removed to show the lining of the organ. f A! Portion of the outer wall of Stomach. fBl Section of Duodenum. fC Esophagus, through which food enters the Stomach. fDl Pylorus, or gate though which the di gested food passes into the Duodenum. fEI A section of the inner surface of the Stomach, greatly Magnified. Tho dark spotsarc the mouths of tin- little tubes through which the gastric juices come. The human stomach is an elongated curved pouch, holding, on an average, about five pints. It has strong muscu lar walls and an inner muscular c oat, which is capable of motion. The organ is lined with mucous membrane—the same membrane that lines the mouth, nose, throat and bowels. The mem brane is thickly dotted with little pits (see E in the cut). These are the mouths of minute tubes that have di rect connection with the blood vessels of the stomach. Through them come the gastric juices that digest food. When food enters a healthy stomach the muscuar walls contract on it and knead, roll and mix It. The food is kept moving so that every portion will come in contact with the gastric juices pour ing out of the little tubes. These fluids soften and dissolve what we rat, and thus prepare it for absorption. The nutrition of the body depends en tirely on perfect digestion, and perfect digestion depends largely on the rapid secretion of an abundant quantity of healthy gastric Juice. If the stomach is to do Its work thoroughly, it must have the muscular power to keep the food 1 mixing and moving, or else portions of It will remain undigested and become a source of danger to us. There must be an ample supply of gastric juic e secret ed—from fourteen to twenty pounds daily. This returns to the blood when Its mission is ended. If a scant amount of gastric juice is formed, digestion is not only delayed or prevented, but the germs always present In the stomach set up fermentation or decay. Poisons are created—frequently enough to kill us If they were al 1 a bsorbed. Dr. Frank Woodbury. A. M„ M. D., says in his recent treatise on Dyspep sia: “One of the most common causes c.f digestive disorder is inflammation of the stomach accompanied by exces sive secretion of mucus, forming what Is usually termed gastric catarrh.” This is Indeed, the cause of a large share of the cases of chronic indiges tion, and the reason is simple. Refer to the cut and notice the magnified sec tion of the lining of the stomach. The dark, spots are the mouths of the little tubes through which the gastric juices enter the stomach. Inflammation causes pressure on these tubes and partly or wholly closes them, thus stop ping the free flow of digestive fluids. The mucus, secreted as a result of the Inflammation, tills the month? of the lirr.V tubes'find still further impedes the flow, and worse still. 11 mixes with the scanty supply and thus dilutes and alters It. Science now say3 that if the stomach Is all right all the organs will be right, because It is impossible for them to stay out of order long when the stom ach does its duty. A weakened organ is simply an organ out of repair, and It will not stay out of repair if the diges tion Is right. The sober, common-sense Judgment of every one probably tells them that If they could eat heartily of nutritious food and then perfectly di gest it, they would get strong and well. When your health suffers think of your digestion. If that is faulty there probably lies the whole cause of trou ble. One thing Is certain, no perma nent relief can be looked for until the stomach is made right. If you find a remedy that will give you sound di gestion, you will not have to do any thing else. Nature will do the rest. Modern research showy that an effec tive stomach remedy must do these tilings: It must strengthen the muscular walls of the stomach, giving them the power of contraction necessary for the proper kneading and mixing of the food. It must reduce all Inflammation and stop the secretion of mucus so that there may he free llow of gastric juice. It should also stimulate the secretion of digestive fluids so that at all times there will he an adequate supply for the prompt digestion of food. Thousands of people are saying that Puritana, Dr. Dixi Crosby's great for mula, is just such a remedy, it relieves catarrhal conditions of the stomach in twenty-four hours: causes an abund ant secretion of gastric juice, and thus hastens the digestion and absorption of food. As a result, all the organs receive proper nutrition and the patient is not only relieved of stomach troubles, but “cured from head to foot.” Jfffr .Sale 0f is If ft.

The im provement speaks for itself. I The pupils are given poetry to write and tile teachers say they enjoy it great ly.

Do not fear to do or dare, It' you want a field of labor You can find it anywhere.** Along the walls were hung maps, the work of the pupils, some in relief, show ing the physical character of the coun tries; topographical likenesses that are very true, and cannot but leave vivid impressions on the young minds that de sign them n the putty.

Miss Elliott’s exhibition of the drawing done by the pupils In her charge, was very interesting and attractive. During the past year pen and ink, and brush work in black and white, with model and geometric drawing, has been taken up. There also has been some fine work done in drawings from nature, with orig inal designs, and imaginative drawings f£Oin animal life. The Meeting. At shortly after 10/50 o'clock, the mem bers of the association with their friends, and visitors assembled in the hall. It was a large and deeply interested at tendance. The meeting; opened with prayer by Rev. J. S. Williamson. The president of the association then made a brief address. He spoke earn estly of the value of co-operation, and recalled the helpful work that the Ken nebec Teachers' Association had accom plished in times past, and the opportu nities for future progress of other works of an important nature, teaching bast of all could be neglected. It was a pro fession that required incessant care and thought, and. he said, he hoped that everyone of the teachers would feel the help*which the exercises and discussions would bring.

In the hall, in the grammar and high school departments, an able paper was given on “NVpos or Caesar in College Preparatory Work.” by Principal E. W. Johnson.

Reynolds of the Conv High school, on “English J.itcrature in High Schools.'* In place of a paper to have been given by Principal W. G. Powers of the Gar diner high school, which had to be omit ted on account of his unavoidable ab sence. Prof. I Etchings of Waterville. formerly teacher of science in the Bucks porl Academy, gave a lecture, with spec imens on “Zoology.” This closed the morning; session, in every way a most successful one. The afternoon session opened with a paper by Miss A. M. Taylor of the Port land Training school, on the subject: “Language in All Grades.” It was a masterful essay, and the subject was treated with much scholarly force. The address by Hon. \V. \V. Stetson, j the State superintendent of schools, on j “How the Superintendent May Assist I Teacher and Pupil.” was much appreci i ated. Mr. Stetson spoke in his usual I forceful manner and aroused his hearers to a high degree of interest in this sub ject. interesting alike to all present in its 1 scope of treatment. He suM: “First of all. should the superintendent he of a liberal disposition and be free from any disposition to impose his crotehetty opinions on the teachers un der his direction. If he is a man. let him he a manly man. and stoop to no petti ness of thought or purpose. Let him never criticize a teacher openly before the school, and in every case let him defend the teacher under criticism as far as he possibly can. in so much as he is loyal to the teacher, will the teacher ho loyal to him. He should be acquainted with the teacher s work in every department, and be familiar with the best books re in Hired in the course of study under bis direction. He should study the aptitude of his scholars, and know their strength; and should likewise know them socially. In coming in close touch .with them ho can better learn how they should be treated, separately and collectively." After a free discussion oi me rupit ill and Out of School." ti most exhaustive and pertinent address on "History" was given bv Mr. Albert K. Wlnshlp of Bos ton. theVdltor i>f the New England Jnitr ifil of Edueation and Ameriean Teacher. Mr. Wtnship in his clear, concise and interesting style, outlined some of the landmarks of history, which should t.e lirmlv established in the mind of tne student. History should he taught as living pictures, he said, lit tin lower grades, there should be local pictures, and. as Ihe hlld matures, these should he broader, until, before he leaves th“ elemontarv school, he snould have a few clear, comprehensive pictures covering tile great periods of Ameriean lift:-. This. Mr. Winship illustrated by taking Evan geline and Pittsburg as the pivotal points around which to 'group everything per taining to American independence, in explaining the cause of the incident in tin- Evangeline, lie must get. in brief, the outline of French settlement. The Incidents of that time. 175.%. culminated I in the French and Indian war, which brought about the Seven Yearn’ War of Europe, which eventuated In the treaty of Paris 111 1763. This produced the causes for Irritation which culminated In the Independence of the colonies. The dialing of the rench under the humilia tion of the treaty of 1763 enabled the l'l; 1 ted States in 1X01 to secure Louisiana by purchase.

Evans of Rates, a graduate of rfanize,tP' ('iirisiian Civic Stic of Maine, with the purpose of disseminating a better knowledge of and i greater rcs|>cct for our laws. Tile following letter, sent out by the formulators of the league explains the purpose and plan of procedure: Waterville. Me.. March 10. 1837. A growing spirit of lawlessness in our State lias developed a feeling of alarm. This alarm is manifest in the organiza tion of "Pivic Leagues" in many of the larger centres. More than eleven hundred liquor sell-1 ers are doing business in our State in dc- tiance of our constitution and statutes. The constituted authorities, with few ex ceptions. are making no effort to sup press this lawlessness; but are directing Hick*, efforts solely to a moderate re plenishment of the county treasuries through tines imposed, and so. in effect, are perpetuating the saloon. The statutes already enacted are amply sufficient practically to banish the saloon: and a disposition faithfully to enforce these statutes on the part of the proper authorities is the present need. Other laws are in like manner being violated with impunity. Twelve murders were committed in our State last year: and seventeen persons were senteneed to the State Prison at the last term of the superior court in Cumberland county. Lawlessness is rapidly increasing in our State: and for this increase the saloon is largely responsible. The saloon and Its sympathizers are thoroughly united and organized to per petuate and extend their illegal traffic. On this account they secure toleration and protection at the hands of the au thorities. The present peril can be met. the right eousness of law can lie vindicated only by thoroughly organizing and unifying* the friends of law and good government. To this end. a committee originating in the various churches has met and formulated the accompanying constitu tion. which clearly sets forth their views as to the best plan to meet the present great need in our State. It is desired that a delegation from ev* rv town and city in the State shall meet at Waterville. Me., on Mondav the 29th day of March. 1837. to organize for mally the Christian Civic League of Maine and to elect the required officers. You are hereby invited to be present at this meeting, and to induce others inter ested in tin- cause to be present also, and to take part in the organization. It is proposed to hold an evening mass meeting on the day of organization, to be addressed by prominent speakers. The convention will be called to order it three o'clock P. M.. in the ISaptist '•hureh. Waterville is selected as the most central railroad point in the State. An early answer will greatly aid in the work. Address Rev. A. T. Dunn. Water ville. Maine. A. T.

The change is a welcome one to the office seekers. A lead’s fiond Fortum1. I have been about the executive mansion a good deal during the last ten days, and I can testify to the trouble which the new president takes to give pleasure to the peo ple who rail to scu hint. An instance of this was afforded yesterday. A boy nixntt 15 years old had found his way up stairs through the generosity of one of the door keepers. lie was a dirty boy, but had a bright face. His clothing was ragged. His big cowhide shoes were covered with the red clay of the Virginia or Maryland roads, j He wanted to see the president.

The ushers turned him over to Pri-, vato Secretary Porter, and that good na tured official looked the youngster over,' bethought him of the days when he was a boy, and said, “I’ll II x you.” The assem bled senators and congressmen and others, all waiting with more or less patience to see Mr. McKinley, were surprised when they saw this boy walk through the doort Into the president’s room. He was gene about 15 seconds, during which he had shaken the hand that holds the helm ot the ship of state, and when lie came out the look on his face was reward enough, fot Secretary Porter. President McKinley Is never too busy tc think of his wife. Mrs. McKinley sits most of tiie day in a room adjoining the cabinet room. There she receives her call ers. About once an hour the presiden. comes out to see how she is getting along. He is always bright ami cheery with her, and invariably calls her Ida, as has bccc his wont ever since they were married.
