MIDNIGHT BREAKS. Burglars Pay Visit at Newport and Danville Junction. About $100 in Money and Same in Stamps at Newport. A Few Railroad Tickets for Their Trouble at Latter Place. Newport, >Ie.. March 26.—Burglars blew open the safe in the Newport post office, Tuesday night, wrecked the interior of the office, and escaped with $100 in money and an equal amount l in stamps, leaving no clue. Nothing was known of the robbery until Wednesday morning. It is believed the work was done by amateurs, as the safe was blown almost to fragments, showing that an unusual quantity of explosive was used. The officers also believe that the bur lars had some knowledge regarding the business of the office, as a large amount of money was on hand in the money order department. Fortunately, the ixistmaster took this home with him, Tuesday night, and the burglars se cured only the money and stamps in the cash box. AT DANVILLE JUNCTION. Only a Few Railroad Tickets Secured by the Burglars. Danville Junction, Me., March 26.— The railroad station at this town was entered, Tuesday night, but only a few railroad tickets were secured. En trance was gaijied by splitting out a window with an axe. The safe was ■pounded with rocks, but it could not be opened. Word was sent Deputy Marshal Hop Jtins of Aubfirn, early this morning, with Spei-lal Police Officer Stetson, came at once to Danville Junction. tree "arrests' have been made, but it is not believed that two of the men are connected jtvtth the break. The third is held a^ a suspect. “All three are Italians. THE BRIBERY CASES •4_ Alleged at Portland May Come Before the Grand Jury. Portland, Me., Mareh 26.—Lawyer James A. Connellan, counsel for the rum-sellers, who, yesterday, confront ed Sheriff Pearson with the statement that some of his deputies had been re ceiving bribes, has decided not to ap peal to the Governor for the appoint ment of an investigating commission. Today, Connellan had a conference with County Attorney W'hitehouse and the countv attorney advises that Mr. Connellan or his clients had any evi dence of bribery, the thing for them to do would be to have such evidence pre sented to the grand jury at the May session of the superior court. Connel lan decided to follow this suggestion. The county attorney says that he stands ready and has, at all times, to prosecute any case of this nature brought to him. He says that he will thoroughly and impartially investigate the matter regardless of whom it im plicates. Sheriff Pearson does not regard very seriously the accusation which the Honor dealers make, but he says he wants the matter thoroughly investi gated. He says that he regards this affair of yesterday as a final attempt to smireli his administration. One of the liquor dealers who opened his heart to tIre sheriff, yesterday, may have got himself into trouble. That man is James J. Walsh, who openly ad mitted that he had paid bribe money to Deputy Sheriff Leach. Leach denies that he received money from Walsh, but does admit that on the day men tioned. Walsh offered him money for protection. Attempting to bribe is an indictable offence. SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES. Mrs. Vesta A. Withnm has just lost her damage suit against the Bangor Aroostook Railroad Co., bv a rescript, drawn by Justice Powers, which has Just been handed down from the Maine law court. The case was tried in Piscataquis county and judgment is now rendered for the defendant. Thomas II. Hannegan, one of the besi known railway postal clerks on th Maine division, died at his home >>n South street, Portland, Sunday. Mr. Hannegan has been in gradually failing health for some years, but he has kept at work steadily until recently. Mr. Ha-.i negan was 5!* years of age. An ingenious attempt at smuggling through the mails was discovered some time ago by Inspector Barrows of the Bangor custom house. In the mail from the Maritime Provinces was a small hex containing a single walnut. Cpon being struck sharply, the nutshell fell apart, disclosing a gold ring' set with a small diamond. The ring, destined as a gift for someone in another state, was held up for duty, and the government collect ed about $3.75. it was found. Monday, that the 3-years olii boy of R. Eisenberg, living at 41 Kel logg street, Portland, was suffering from smallpox. How the child got the disease is not known. The father is in Boston and has been there for some time. The mother and the sick boy have been re moved to the pest house and the other two children have been taken to the de tention hospital. There have been sever al other cases in this immediate neigh borhood, but whether they have anv con nection with each other is not known. Mrs. Annie C.. wife of George E. Clem ent of Portland, died, Monday, of blood poisoning. It will be remembered that Mrs. Clement was the lady who received an unintentional vaccination through tlie application to a cut of vaseline from the same bottle from which she had rubbed the arm of her vaccinated child. Mrs. Clement was sick at the time so that ow ing to her weakened condition blood pois oning set in which resulted in her death. She is survived by her husband and six children. Her age was 33 years and X month. I Barter chicks of worsted, feathers and fur in Partridge’s Drug Store win- I dow, Opera House Block. Fine Per- j fumes for Easter in hulk 2.r> cents an ounce.

If you are one of those who have eaten too freely of Grape-Nuts and have been satiated, we have a word of help and advice for you. It is a con centrated food, and the system requires an<i can handle only a small amount at a time. If too much is taken nature revolts against the overloading. Be moderate and enjoy the food day by day. It is too valuable to your system and to your sturdy health to give over. It is a common fault for people to overeat candy or any other delicacy at some time in life, and from- an excess be driven to absinenee. But with Grape Nuts it will richly repay you to start again on the fixed allowance of not I more than three heaping teaspoons for the ceral part of the meal, and so long as you use the food in moderation you will stick to it, and look forward to the meal with pleasurable anticipation. Remember. Grape-Nuts furnishes the most delicious tasting ceral food known, and contains the certain elements nat ure uses for repairing and rebuilding the brain and gray matter in the nerve centers. The steady and moderate user of Grape-Nuts can bepend upon daily nourishment of the kind that gives one that feeling of reserve strength, so essential to a successful, active brain worker. Do not try to cook this food. It is thoroughly and completely cooked at factory, and is ready for instant service. 57TH CONGRESS. Senate Keeps Pegging Away at Oleomargarine Bill. Burleson Continues His Attack Upon Secretary of State Hay On Account of Allegations Regarding Illinois Boer Fund. Washington, March 26.—Throughout today’s session of the Senate, the oleo margarine bill was under discussion. The debate was interesting at all times and some of its phases were amusing. Hansbrough of North Dakota, con cluded his speech begun, yesterday, in support of the measure, maintaining that the oleomargarine industry had been outlawed by the Legislatures of many states and that it ought to be compelled by Congress to take off its mask and place its product on the mar ket for what it really was. Stewart, Nev., declared that the pro posed legislation was unnecessary and that there was no more reason for tax ing colored oleomargarine than for tax ing colored butter. The principal speech of the day was delivered by Dolliver of Iowa. He spoke forcefully and throughout com manded the interested attention of his colleagues and of many members of the House who had come to the Senate to hear him. He scathingly denounced the oleomargarine industry, declaring that it had put itself in partnership with lawlessness and false pretences. Dol liver concluded his speech with a glow ing eulogy of farm life and of the American farmer. Hoar and Lodge of Massachusetts, explained that their reason for sup porting the bill was that it was a tax on an evident fraud. Iii the Senate, today, when routine business had been concluded, consider ation of the oleomargarine bill was re sumed and Hansbrough, N. D., contin ued his speech in support of the meas ure. He charged that the oleomar garine manufacturers employed meth ods which were not at all creditable and said they were opposing the pend ing bill because its enactment no longer would render profitable their traffic which had been placed under the ban by the Legislatures of many of the states. He declared that the oleomargarine manufacturers were pleading before Congress ,for a business that had been outlawed by many states. In conclusion Hansbrough insisted that oleomargarine should be compelled to take off its mask and come upon the market for what it really was and not as a fraudulent imitation of a more valuable product. In opposition to the pending meas ure, Stewart, Nev., said he was “un able to discover any principle of legis lation that warrants such a bill as this.” Stewart further said that he saw no more reason for taxing colored oleomargarine than for taxing colored butter. He declared that the butter makers were palming off unclean and unwholesome butters upon the con sumers by coloring it, and yet they clanmed that oleomargarine makers had no right to color their product. He insisted that the proposed legislation was unnecessary, as there was no evil to remedy. Dolliver, la., spoke in support of the pending measure. He said the oleo margarine manufacturers by their eva sion of the laws already upon the stat ute books had put themselves in part nership with lawlessness and false pre tences. In the course of his speech Dolliver declared that the oleomargarine manu facturers and some of the dealers in the article were constantly evading the law of 18S6, which provided that every package of oleomargarine should be stamped plainly. In proof of his state ments he exhibited a package of oleo margarine which he had purchased “from a famous butter dealer” in Chi cago. He said the package was marked hut it would tax any man’s ingenuity to find the mark. He then handed the package to Tillman and challenged him to find the mark required by law to be on the wrapper. Tillman failed to dis cover the imprint. Dolliver pointed it out, printed in fine type in a corner of the wrapper. The incident excited live ly interest and amusement. Dolliver referred to a well-known oleomargarine and butter dealer in t’hicago who had spent more than half of his time in the courts for violation of the oleomargarine bill. “And he never gets into the courts,” said he. "but he finds there side by side with him the attorneys for the oleomargar ine manufacturers.” Dolliver declared that the only way “to break up a nest like this" was “to re duce to a minimum the profits of the ras cality." Dolliver sharply arraigned Stewart for a statement that much butter was made in conditions of squallor and disease. Il lustrating the interest of the greatest of our people in the farm, he described an incident which occurred on the late Pres ident McKinley's last western tour. As the train was passing through Iowa early one morning, the President was observed to be laughing to himself as he watched the antics of two boys warming their feet on the spot where a cow had been lying during the night. "Gentlemen," said President McKinley, “one of the pleasantest and most de lightful recollections of my boyhood is the solid comfort which those boys are now having—warming frost-bitten feet in the place where cows have been lying. I wonder how many of you have had a similar experience.” One after another of the members of the cabinet, governors, senators and rep-1 resentatives who were of the party, boro' witness to the same experience, begin-! (Continued on page 2.) RHODES IS DEAD. The Great Financier Passes Away at Cape Town. Close of One of Most Remarkable Lives in British History. Hated, Feared, Beloved, His Was a Strange Life. Cape Town, March 26.—Cecil Rhodes died peacefully at 5.57 P. M. He slept during the afternoon, but his breathing became more difficult and his strength perceptibly diminished until he passed away. Mr. Rhodes was conscious until 5.55 P. M., when he muttered a few words and sank quickly. The immediate cause of his death was two successive attacks of heart failure. At his bedside were Dr. Jameson, Dr. J. W. Smart, the commissioner of pub lic works: Col. Elmhurst Rhodes, di rector of signalling of the South Af rican force, and Mr. Walton, a mem ber of the assembly of Port Elizabeth. Mr. Rhodes' last words were the names of his brother and some of the others present which were meant to be good byes. The only person who attended him during his illness and who was not present at his death bed was Dr. Stevenson; all his boys and personal servants were admitted at the last. The government has decided to give Cecil Rhodes a public funeral. His re mains will be brought here from Grooteschuur for the burial service, which will be held in the cathedral. The body will then be taken back to Grooteschuur and will eventually be interred at Matoppo Hills. Since Mr. Rhodes took to his bed three weeks ago his friends had been most anxious that he should recover sufficiently to be taken back to Eng land. The cottage where he died was a simple seaside cabin, small and close to the railroad. It was ill-fitted to be a sick chamber, although the utmost was done to improve the ventilation and make it more comfortable. Dr. Stevenson slept by his patient every night that he might be in readiness to administer oxygen, which practically kept Mr. Rhodes alive. East Sunday, he lost all interest in every thing and sisce then he had dozed the hours away. His rally from the crisis of Tuesday left but the faint est hopes for his ultimate recovery. These were ultimately abandoned with the renewed attack at noon, today. The news of his death spread through Cape Town between 7 anil 8 o’clock, this evening, and caused profound grief. All places of amusement were immediately closed. An open air con cert was stopped and the audience un covered while the band played the “Dead March." The people then silent ly dispersed. CECIL RHODES’ CAREER And Its Effect on England as Measured by London Press. London. March 27.—The estimates of the career of Cecil Rhodes and its ef fect on the history of the British em pire are largely colored by the political views of the papers making them. But the opinion is unanimous in the press here, that in spite of the defects and t^n? limitations of his forceful charac ter. few men have more profoundly impressed the Imagination of their con temporaries or played a larger part in the world's affairs than Cecil Rhodes, and that the empire is poorer by his premature death. With the expressions of admiration of his great services are mingled kind ly worded regrets for the disastrous mistake made in the Jameson raid. The Standard says: "There was a certain iargeness and magnanimity even in his failings. He remains an impressive and inspiring figure and the real lover of his country, who sacri ficed much to make England great and powerful." The Daily Mail describes him as the successor of Lord Clive and Warren Hastings and says: "The virulence with which he was hated abroad is the measure of his services to England.” The Daily Chronicle says: "There was nothing in the career of Cecil Rhodes to support the charge that he was a vulgar money grabber. There was nothing small about him; even his blunders were colossal." The Daily News, which bitterly at tacks Mr. Rhodes on account of the Jameson raid, declaring that not even Randolph Churchill shattered a more brilliant career by a more conspicuous act of folly, also defends him from the charge of money grabbing.

Nothing Can Stop It but Granting of Increase by Mills. Lowell, Mass., March 27.—The 56 delegates to the meeting of the Textile Council in old Odd Fellows hall, last evening, voted to go out on strike, next Monday morning, unless the mill au thorities in the meantime concede to the operatives demand for a 10 per cent, rise in wages. The delegates present represented nine unions and the determination to stand by the de mand for the 10 per cent, increase wns unflinching. The details of the conference be tween Messrs. Rafferty and Ashton, president and secretary of the Textile i Council, Joseph Convrey of the Trades and Labor Council and Agent Nourse and Bouthwlck of the Lawrence and Massachusetts Corporations respec tively, at Mayor Dimon's house were given but it did not effect the feeling of the meeting. The personal appeal of Mayor Dinion was duly introduced by the president, but it did not serve to change the sen timent of the delegates. The petition generally circulated signed by about 150 prominent business men, beseeching the Textile Council and members of the subordinate unions to delay action untill the good offices of a committee of conference is tried, was the only expression offered that In any way induced the delegates to re consider their determination to strike. The consideration of the committee prolonged the meeting for at least one hour and when the motion to go out on strike, March 31, was made, delegates friendly to the petition offered an amendment, that action be delayed un til April 7. The amendment was de feated and the original motion to go out, Mopday morning, was unanimous ly voted. President Rafferty announced that hs (Continued on page 3.)

BOGUS MONEY Big Counterfeiting Plant Raided at Corona, L, I. Five Men Arrested and Complete and Splendid Outfit Seized. The Gang’s Output Were Handsome $5 Gold Pieces. X w York. March 26.—United States secret service agents reported, today, that a large counterfeiting plant was raided at Corona, L. I., Tuesday night, and that five men were arrested. Ac cording to secret service men, the coun terfeiters were making imitation gold pieces, when the officers appeared. The men submitted to arrest and made no attempt to get rid of bogus coins in their pockets. Three men gave their names as Marino Mosso, Santos Carazo and Antonio Shiario. The others declined to give their names. They were arraigned, today, before United States Commissioner Benedict in Brooklyn and were held for a hear ing. tsccrei service agents wun mf am oi a truck and a force of machinists, to day, took from the house in Corona the machines and tools used by the coun terfeiters. The machinists and the se cret service men pronounced the outfit perfect. There was nothing crude about the working of the quartet. They followed every process used by the gov ernment and went to as much trouble to have their coins perfect. On the sec ond floor of the house there was a room fitted up for the use of the engraver. It contained every tool and convenience that could possibly be needed. In the cellar, however, the real work shop was located. There was a die run by compressed air which was fully as good as the government uses. For this there hail been an excavation made in the cellar and this filled with masonry so as to form as solid a bed as any en gine in the city. Beside the die was a 7-foot lathe, weighing about half a ton. For delicacy of operation it could be run by hand, but was also fitted for use with compressed air. This was pro vided with a masonry bed similar to that, of the die. There were two blast furnaces, one large and the other small. Two pc. irs of bellows, a set of blocks and falls, anvils, small hand lathes, machines for milling and trimming coins, burnishing machines, foot power printing presses and a complete ma chine shop were crowded into the front end of tiic cellar. This was partitioned off from the rear section, which was used for the legitimate purposes of the household. The machinists had to take the various pieces of the outfit apart and then tear down the partition and the side of the cellar door in order to get the stuff out.

Coffee probably wrecks a greater per centage of Southerners than Northern people, for Southerners use it more freely. The work it does is distressingenough in some instance: as an illus tration, Miss Sue W. Fairall, 517 N. 4th St., Richmond. Va„ writes, “I was a coffee drinker for years and for about six years my health was completely shattered. I suffered fearfully with headaches and nervousness, also pal pitation of the heart and loss of appe tite. "My sight gradually began to fall and finally 1 lost the sight of one eye al together The eye was operated up on and the sight partially restored, then I became totally blind in the other eye. “My doctor used to urge me to give up coffee but I was wilful and con tinued to drink it until finally in a last case of severe illness the doctor in sisted that J must give up the coffee, t so I -begun using the Postum Food Coffee, and in a month I felt like a new creature. “I steadily gained in health and strength. About a month ago I began using Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food and the effect has been wonderful. I really feel like a new woman and have gained about 25 pounds. “I am quite an elderly lady and before using Postum and Grage-Nuts I could not walk a square without ex ceeding fatigue, now I walk ten or twelve without feeling it. Formerly in reading I could remember but little j but now my memory holds fast what I read. “Several friends who have seen the remarkable effects of Postum and Grape-Nuts on me have urged that I give the facts to the public for the sake I of suffering humanity, so, although I dislike publicity, you avldson county, Tennessee, promises to pay a church debt of ftono If he gets the nom ination.

Says the Editors Know More1 About Golf Than Articles of War. Speech Has Approval of President and That Settles It. Topeka, Kan.. March 25*—Gen. Fiedk. Funston was in this city, today, on his way to California. Gen. Funston delivered himself of a scathing de nunciation of the Eastern newspapers which criticized his speech before the Kotos Club in New York. He said: "I have been nagged by that class of papers until I am tired. Editorial ly. they willfully misinterpret my re marks, and I am glad to express my independence of their opinions and their talk and that of their kind, about my using dishonorable and unfair menas in the capture of Aguinaldo; also that I violated the articles of war. They know a great deal more about the articles of golf than they do about the articles of war. Everything is per missible in a campaign except the use of poison or the violation of a flag of truce. As a matter of fart only four of my men on the expedition were dressed in the insurgent uniform. The others were dressed as Filipino peasants. President Roosevelt approved heartily of my remarks before the Lotos Club banquet and was very anxious to have me go to Boston on the invitation of Senator Lodge and make the same speecli ihere, but my orders were such that it was impossible for me to go.” GEN. MORIEL CAPTURED. Believed Also Gen. Malvar Is in the Same Band. Manila, March 26.—Ndriel, the only insurgent general with the exception of Malvar, still in the field, has been cap tured by Lieut. Frank E. Bamford of tne 26th Infantry. A major, a daptaln, a lieutenant and five men who were acting as a body guard to Noriel were captured with him. They have all been held as pris oners of war. There is some reason to believe that cine member of this body guard is Gen, Malvar in disguise. Lieut. Bamford ist -Certain that if this general is not otte'of the captured party that he is In tire Immediate neighbor hood of the scene of Nortel's capture. Noriel has Ijeen one of the recognized leaders of the ^Insurrection since 1S99. He was captured- op his way to the coast while endeavoring to escape. He adndts that the insurrection, as such, is over, and says that the few remain ing leaders are fleeing, as they do not command enough men to warrant sur renders commensurate with their rank.

Litest British Movement Against Him Not Fully Reported. A Few Captures Made but Nothing to Brag About. London. March -tl.—Incomplete re ports of the result of the combined movement of British columns against ion. Delarcv have enabled Lord Kitchener to announce the capture of ibout i::r. prisoners, three 15-pounders, ,wo pompoms and quantities of stock, wagons, etc. Gen. Delarey appears to have successfully evaded Lord Kitch ener’s cordon tit the outset. In a dispatch dated from Pretoria, at noon Monday. I.or.l Kitchener says: “At du.-k on the evening of March 25. the- combined m o ament against Do larey was undertak- n by columns of mounted men without guns or impedi ments of any sort. The columns start ed from ('on mamio Drift on the Vaal river and traveled rapidly that night and at dawn, March 24. occupied posi tions along the line, from Commando Drift to the* Licit ten blockhouse line. The troops moved rapidly eastward, keeping a continuous line with the ob ject of driving the enemy against the blookhou.- or forcing an action. The resuit has not yet been fully* reported. Kckeuii h’s column, after the com mencement of the action, captured three. 1".-pounders, two pompoms, nine prisoners and 100 mules, carts and wagons. Ccn. \V. Kitchener's column captured s:> prisoners. Sj carts and wagons and 1000 cattle. There are a few more prisoners on the blockhouse line. The troops covered M) miles in -l houi RoehfOrt’s and Rawlinson’s col umns have not yet reported their re sults.” Lord Kitchener, in a later message, says: "Ail the reports are now in. The to tal number of prisoners is 135.” THEY GO TO JAIL. Bail Absolutely Refused for Rathbone and Reeves at Havana. Havana, March 28.—Estes G. Rath bone, the former director of posts, who was arrested, last night, after having been sentenced the day previous by the audier.eia court to 10 years imprison ment and to pay a fine of $35,321, as a result of his connection with the Cu ban postal frauds, remained in the Vi vac prison all night. Today, he was taken 10 the Caroel (jail), accompanied by a number of his friends. i lath bone's bondsman. Senior Lopez, a Spanish merchant, went to court and announced that he was willing to fur nish bonds in any amount, but bail was absolute ly refused. W. H. lteeves was also removed to jail, today, on an order of arrest. He was formerly deputy auditor of the Cuban post office department, and was sentenced with Rathbone and C. F. W. Neely, Monday, to 10 years imprison ment and to pay a fine of $35,516 for misappropriation of postal funds. X. itin r Rathbone nor Iteevcs has the option of bail. This ic owing to the fact that their sentences are for more than six years duration. Although the law in i rtain circumstances permits the acceptance of bail until the sen tenee shall be finally executed, the court holds that there are no circum stances in the present cases to war rant the acceptance of bail. t'nd r rh Spanish law. the court is allowed to accept bail when the ac usi .1 has a good record, when there is no reason to suppose he will attempt to escape justice, when iho crime with which he is charged has not produced I arm and when it is not of constant occurrence in the province. Counsel for Rathbone and Xeely will appeal the cases of tin ir clients. They have not yet received copies of the sen tence. Rathbuuc's former bond of $25,000 is cancelled by the fact that he has been put in pris. n. Reeves’ bond amounted to but $1500. TO KEEP UP PRICES. Europeans to Combine to Keep Up the Price of Iron. London. -March 37.—The Daily Mail in its issue of today delates that nego tiations are on foot for the formation of gigantic European iron combina tions for the purpose of keeping up prices. These negotiations were initia ted by the Ilritish iron masters. In view of tlie American demand for pig iron and steel, continues the Daily -Mail, there are many difficulties In the way of the formation of such a combi nation an 1 the matter has not yet de veloped. According to a dispatch to the Daily I Mail from Brussels, the prim ipal Rel- j gian and German firms are not inclined I to join this combination because the fall in pi ices enables them to eompette in the American markets.

Jumping off moving trains and street [cars as practiced today is a fruitful source of nervous disorders and one not fully recognized for its importance by any school except osteopaths. Yet the facts are easily comprehended. Certain it is that nervousness in all its protean forms, from irritability, neurasthenia and general nervous col lapse to paralysis, is so caused, and that the careless habit of many people of bowling off moving cars stiff-legged lays the foundation for these disorders every hour of the day. In leading the strenuous life of our cities men and women seem unable to wait to get to their journey's end. Be fore trains come to a half stop at crossings and platforms fidgety pe destrians with muscles tense drop from platforms, and. almost before their i bodies have recovered from the for %\ard momentum, are stalking a mad foot race against time in the opposite direction. This enterprise saves ten seconds, of course, for that particular errand, but possibly it hastens by many months one's journey to the grave. Positive injury is thereby done to the spine and nervous system which must gather in cumulative effect until one day' the whole nervous organism may go to pieces. Then more or less innocent things get blamed for the col lapse. The doctors may even analyze tne victim of these innumerable con cussions piecemeal in the laboratories to find that he is being preyed upon by ubiquitous microbes, yet the origin of his troubles is a simple spinal disorder, caused by oft-repeated joltings, some of which proved by chance more vi cious than the rest, throwing one or more of his vertebral segments out of perfect alignment. Once that has come about the foundation has been laid—as osteopathy shows—for nearly all the ills in the calendar of medicine. It is not to be understood that such concussions produce dislocations of spiral vertebrae in the sense that they are thrown qut of joint, as occurs in a “broken neck." That is no more the case than that chinaware must shatter from every simple jar before it cracks. The lesser injuries come before the greater, and happen with a thousand fold greater frequency. Mere slips of the vertebrae from their true positions —one upon the other—and th -rJO

The Journal cannot be held reapoa alble for the preservation or return of rejected communications. Addreai all communications relating to subscriptions and advertisements to BURLEIGH FLYNT. i-ubllshers, Augusta, Maine. Maine in the Other States. The Old Home Week movement gives much additional interest to the figures showing Ihe number of Maine-born people who are living in the other states of the Union. A writer in the Boston Globe has been digging out nuggets among the census figures and presents some tables and totals in this connection, regarding not only Maine but all New England, which are of ab sorbing interest. It appears that there were in 1900 no fewer than 216,000 na tives of Maine dwelling in other states. This is about one-third as many people as are now living in Maine. Even this gloat number represents but one of the several generations of native emigrants who have sought fame and fortune out side their native State. Farly in the last century we learn that thousands emigrated from what is now Maine to that great West which is now the center of the republic. In ISIS and 1S16, long before the days of railroads, it is said that 15,000 moved overland to the valley of the thio. The “gold fever” of '49 caused thousands more to seek their fortunes in the mines of California. So constant has been tl.e current of Western emigration that we can almost believe that Thor fin, the Norseman, when he visited the shores of Maine in 1009 must have im planted in the soil some of his roving, adventurous spirit, for, as he sailed westward seeking c onquest and adven ture, so have the sons of Maine ever been following the western horizon in quest of opportunities for great achievements. Very early in the his tory of our Western posse ssions we And Maine largely inte rested in their prog ress and prosperity, and, today, in these transplanted New England homes there still lingers a love for Maine that should be fostered by closer associa tions. There is no need to dwell upon the character of those Maine-born who went in past generations or who are going, today, from our borders to other states. They have been of the best old pioneer stock, and every state that they have gone to Is richer and greater and better for their presence. In all lines of endeavor the sons of Maine and their children have been at the front in every section of the land, save the South. Drive through the country towns of Maine and one can scarcely pass a farmhouse that has not its rep resentation in the West or in the cities of Massachusetts. The drain has been great and steady and it is wonderful that in the face of it, Maine has had such sjrtendid prosperity and made steady advances in population. Of the other states that have inau gurated an Old Home Week. New Hampshire has 124.000 soils and daugh ters. or 30 per cent, of its present pop ulation: Massachusetts has 300,000; and Vermont has lfiO.OOO or an even half of its present population. Altogether New Kngland, the grand old mother of sturdy sons, the typical American, has over 1.000.000 of its children now living beyond its borders. Much greater than this is the total of the sons and daugh ters of those who have gone from heie to the West to build it up and be its bulwark. Let us look more closely at the fig ures concerning the natives of Maine In other states. Massachusetts, the state that gave Maine to the Union in 1820, and endowed her, at that time, with a population of 298,000, is rapidly reimbursing herself, for she 'has now more than 98.(891 Maine-born people within her borders. There are about 15,000 Massachusetts-born people in Maine. Boston has enough natives of Maine to people one of her 25 wards, which have an average population of 2^,000 each, anil 60,0’3 depend upon the United States which made it free from Spanish tyranny and which must always defend it against the world and against itself. Annexa tion may come later—many believe it is inevitable—but it will be for the peo- i pie of Cuba to take the initiative in the matter. This country did its duty to humanity in driving the last Spanish soldier from the shores of the island; now it is fulfilling to the letter its promise to aid and protect the Cuban people in establishing a government of their own. The purpose of the United States from the first has been lofty, honorable and unselfish. The war of 189S was the first of the kind ever waged. And greater than any of its victories have been the victories of peace in which the United States has been true to its word. The young is- j land republic has waited long for free- dom. Its fields have been devastated and its young men slain. Hut brighter days are now ahead. Long live free Cuba! Col. Waterson should climb a tree, I if he is really as frightened as he pre- tends. Nobody else seems seriously alarmed because there is “a man on horseback" in the White House. It may be that the Kentucky editor is suffering from a nightmare.

Big-hearted Boston has already raised a fund of nearly $40,000 for the families of the five life-savers who were drowned on the Cape Cod shore, last week. The unseating of Rhea of Kentucky by the House of Representatives is an emphatic condemnation of the Goebel methods of counting votes. There is a chance for Pennsylvania's governor to imitate Governor Crane's example and calm down the discontent ed miners. Long Time Dead. A little time for music, and A little time for cheer, A little time for talking with The ones you hold most dear, A little time for reading, and A little time for thought. For doing all the little things, For doing as you ought. A little work an' scrubbing. And a little time for play. A time for writing letters to The friends so far away; A time lor telling neighbors that You’re glad to call 'em friends; A time for friendly quarrels, and The making of amends. A time for fishing in the brook. For straw'bries in the grass, A time for picking buttercups As summer pleasures pass, A time for gathering apples when They're tempting in the fall; For telling winter stories by The fireplace in the hall. There’s time for almos' everything From sleighing down to whist. And if you slight the little things. The very ones you missed Will be the ones you'll wish you’d had When you laid in bed Beneath the buttercups an’ grass To be a long time dead. —J. Otis Swilt. It is a forward March. About time for dandelion greens. The fishermen are keeping an eye on Sebago. Other poachers in Warden Temple ton's section will take due warning. The snow is leaving so unexpectedly early that lots of logs will be left in the woods. Moulton takes advantage of the bill put through in the closing days of the last session and will buy Its water works. Now Bangor and Brewer are wonder ing why they did not appreciate the old covered bridge more. The $1500 verdict against a Warren man should be a lesson to temperance reformers everywhere to be more tem perate in their language concerning those with whom they differ or whom they suspect of breaking the laws. If the big towns of Saco, Ellsworth and Westbrook can nullify the dog-law' other towns may do the same. For 1^01 these towns turned in not a dollar of dog-tax.—Bridgton News. Why this harsh talk about nullifica tion? It may be that the three cities referred to have no taxable dogs. Women sometimes get vaccinated in strange places, but few would se lect the end of the thumb. That was a place where it “took" with a Portland woman, however. A short time ago her child was vaccinated and the arm became very sore. To aid in the heal ing process she rubbed vaseline on the spots very freely. A day or two later she cut htr thumb and applied vaseline from the same bottle to that wound. Thereby she inoculated her thumb and it has swolen and communicated the ef fect to her entire arm. At one time it was feared she would lose her arm. A Portland Jfldy took up a piece of carpeting in a closet the other day and had it washed with gasoline. The car pet was then replaced and a little later the lady lighted a match to find a needle on the floor near the closet. That the house was immediately afire seems to surprise the Advertiser al though the greatest marvel seems to be that but little damage occurred and that the lady did not follow in the foot steps of that celebrated character whom the poet has immortalized as follows: “A woman named Mary Maguire Had trouble in lighting her fire; The wood being green, she used kerosene. She has gone where the fuel is dryer." Why shouldn't Ellsworth people be happy with every promise that the coming year will be the most prosper ous In the history of the city for a long time? The new electric road, which is expected to bring a large amount of business to town is an assured fact, the Reduction company is getting fair ly under way, the whistle of the Cole shoe factory will call the employes to work again the first of June after a shutdown of several months, while there is a prospect that a large hard wood factory will be erected in the near future on one of the upper dams in the city by a New York concern. New business always stimulates the old business and certainly the future casts a radiant prospect before the Hancock county city. It is estimated that the total cost to the city of Portland for the smallpox epidemic will exceed $10,000. Dr. Geo. H. Cummings and Dr. Merrill each have bills against the city for $1600 and several other doctors have bills of two or three hundred dollars. There are al so many charges for nursing and at tendance at the pest house and deten tion ward. The clothing and furniture which have been destroyed by the city will have to be paid for, also the sub sistance of the people who have been quarantined from time to time. An Auburn teacher, Miss Bertha Brown, has been visiting in Washing ton and while there she had occasion to visit the school which Archie Roose velt, the son of President Roosevelt, attends. She has brought home speci mens of Master Archie’s writing to show to her pupils. Miss Brown heard a good story told in connection with Archie Roosevelt. ’Tls said some one made the remark to him one day that it must be disagreeable to attend school with the common boys. Archie replied that he did not know what common boys were and that he only knew' four kinds of boys, namely, tall boys, short boys, good boys and bad boys. The situation at Shiloh is rather pe culiar. n be smallpox is still there and the quarantine of the rest of the fol lowers of Mr. Sandford, is still on. The situation is about us follows: The State Board of Health insists that those imprisoned there must be vacci nated before they can be allowed to go, and they, making it a matter of con science. and of religious duty, holding the higher law in respect, insist that they cannot and will not, until it is made plain to them that it is the will of God that they should be vaccinated. To do them justice they are keeping up an excellent quarantine on their own account, and the apprehended raid on 'he linances of Durham has not taken place, and is not likely to occur. They obej all tile suggestions made by the State boacd, except that regarding vaccination, and they are taking the best of care of their sick. Once in a while they write to know when the quarantine is to be raised, but unfor tunately for them there are new cases often enough to prolong their term of imprisonment. With every new case the board renews its suggestion that they be vaccinated, and tailing to re ceive the desired assurance that they are ready tor the operation, cun only extend the period of quarantine for another fourteen days. The real trouble seems to be more theological, than medical. For nearly ten years it has been the boast of James O’Neil, a farmer who lives just outside the village of Clinton, that he is the oldest man in Maine who has a living parent. Mr. O'Neil was 81 vears old last December, and living in his house, still lively and as smart as the cricket of tradition, is Mrs. Peggy O’Neil, who is 118. and has been the mother of eight children, one of,whom is her aged hoy, Jimmy. She is also 18 times a great-great-grandmother. Mrs. O'Neil is a very small woman, weighing only 80 poulMs. but she’:beqr4s her age jauntily, making the beds apd doing all the housework for a family of three and having time between whiles to smoke her corncob pipe for a few minutes after every meal. She learned to smoke in Ireland more than XC years ago. and has never abandoned the practice, asserting that it would be dangerous to her health to try the ex periment at her advanced age. I chanced upon a scene of cruel and useless slaughter Saturday afternoon. On one side of a broad meadow was a knoll, which could be seen a mile away. On this some men had driven half a dozen short stakes and then wound them with pieces of black cloth. These at a distance looked like crows feeding and were used as decoys. The gunners had concealed themselves behind a fence and as the crows .which weie Hy ing over in large Hocks descended to see what there was to eat, they were shot down. The “sport" was over when I passed but on the ground in a heap were crows enough to fill a bushel basket. A red-shouldered hawk was also seen among the slain. There was no object in shooting the crows, except for the pleasure of killing something. It may be urged that the crow is a pest and ought to lose his life, hut it is yet an open question whether he does more harm than good to the farmer.— Portland Advertiser. The above does credit to Brother Dunning’s kindness of heart but is con clusive proof that he never tilled the soil for a living. Not one farmer in a thousand will agree that there are two slides to the crow question. They regard the crow as a curse and a pest, doing ton? of harm for every pound of good. They would have only thanks for gun ners who shot down crows in piles as large as haystacks. The Journal yields to no paper in it3 devotion to our song birds and to the feathered folk in gen eral, but a slain crow or a bushel of slain crows does not fill our heart with grief.

Features of the Day's Dealings in All the Leading Stocks. New York, March 26.—1Today’s stock market was very ciuil and a professional affair. Colorado Fuel and Amalgamated Copper absorbed between them a large proportion of the day's dealings from the opening up to the close. The tirst named ranged up to 2% over last night and the copper stock to 1%. Colorado Fuel lost the greater part of the gain on realizing during the latter part of the day, but Amalgamated Copper retained all but a small fraction. Tennessee Coal was firm in sympathy, but the other steel stocks were neglected and heavy. American Telephone rose 3 and North American rallied to 3 ever last night. There was some firmness in one or two of the prom inent railroad stocks hut the tendency of the general list was lower. The disclos ure of a discrepancy in the accounts of Evansville A- Terre Haute and the threat ened suspension of dividends caused a violent break in both the stocks of that company and had a sinister effect on oth er stocks which have been pushed up on rather vague assurances of dividends. The market closed easy. There was a yielding tendency to the prices of bonds in sympathy with stocks. Green Bay and Wabash debenture B's were an exception with a rise of 1%. Total sales, par value, $2,500,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. New York Money Market. New York. March 26. Money on call firm at 3 to 5; last loan a.

Many Warrants Signed By Governor Hill, Yesterday. Genera! Farnham Wants Portraits Former Adjutant Generals. of Farmers' Institute to Be Held in Fox croft, April 10. Governor Hill was very busy, yester day. signing warrants on the treasury, in compliance with orders passed by the Council on Tuesday. Included in the batch were warrants in favor of public institutions. State departments and State officers and employes. Most of the State officials are paid their sal aries every quarter; that is, in March, June, September and December. At l!v-so stated periods the routine work of the Governor and Council is greater than at the usual monthly meetings. Genera! Karnham is anxious to se cure a portrait of each of his predeces sors in theofli e of theadjutant general, for the purpose of hanging upon the walls of the department at the State House. He has obtained pictures of General Hodsdon and General Beale and he has secured promises that sev eral others will be forthcoming very soon. Since the State was formed there have been 24 different incumbents of the office. From 1820 to 1830 Samuel Cony of Augusta, was adjutant gen eral. He was succeeded by Samuel li. 1-add of this city for three years, and then Joseph Sewall of Bath served two years. A. B. Thompson of Bruns wick held the office for three years, Rufus C. Vose of Augusta, for one year, then A. B. Thompson again served for two years, and Isaac Hodsdon of Ban gor for one year. In 1S42 Alfred Red ington of Augusta was selected for the place and held it until 1851, when he was succeeded by Greenlief White of Augusta for one year, he in turn being succeeded by Albert Tracy of Bangor, who served three years. J. R. Bachel der of Ri adfleld and George M. At wood of Gardiner each served a year, and James W. Webster of Belfast served two years. Davis Tillson of Rockland held the place for two years, 1S5!) and .1800. In isfil John I-. Hods don of Bangor assumed the duties of the position and served throughout the Civil War, resigning in 1807. John C. CauldwelL of Mathias was appointed liis successor and remained two years,. When he resigned, B. I!. Murray, Jr., of Pembroke, lilled the position for seven years. Jonathan I’. Cilley of Rockland Served from 187C until 1879, when Samuel 1). Leavitt of Eastport was chosen for that year. In 1880 George'I- Beal of Norway was elected and he served live years, being suc ceeded by Samuel J. Gallagher of Calais, Then came Henry M. Sprague of Auburn for four years; Seldon Con nor of Portland for four years; John T. Richards of Gardiner for four years, and Augustus B. Karnham of Bangor since December last. la his attempts to secure portraits of these gentlemen who have preceded hem General Karnham has thus far failed in reaching any of the relatives of seven of the number: and he is very anxious to obtain information concern ing them or their whereabouts, in order that lie may be able to obtain the pic tures which he seeks. Mr. Manley has promised him a picture of Samuel Cony, but he has been unable to ascertain where he can secure portraits of the other Augusta gentlemen who have occupied the of fice. They are Samuel G. Ladd, Rufus c. Vose. Alfred Redington and Green leaf White. These gentlemen all served in the office more than half a century ago, and their descendants are unknown to General Karnham. He would he pleased to obtain some in formation concerning them. He would also like to hear something about Al bert Tracey of Bangor. J. R. Bachelder of Readfield, and George M. Atwood of Gardiner. t if this list of distinguished gentle men who have been in charge of the military department of the State gov ernment during the past 80 years, only eight tire now living: General John C. Canid well is living in San Jose. Costa Rica. C. A.; General Murray is prac ticing law in Calais; General cilley is following the same business in Rock land: General Gallagher is an official til the Soldiers' Home in Togus; Gen eral Sprague is in Auburn; General Connor Is United States pension agent In lliis city; General Richards is in charge of the construction of the new Soldiers' home in Johnson City, Tenn„ and General Karnham is tilling the of fice at the present time. It hits now befn decided by those in :i position to know that the real Jon athan Little, spoken of in the Journal of Wednesday, is in reality J. Henry Small, formerly of Kiddeford and now a prosperous insurance agent of New York. The stories of how he has suc ceeded in obtaining the autographs of leading personages has been told by the great papers of thp country, but the fact that Jonathan Little is really J. Henry Small has not heretofore been made public. A military company of Freneh Atnerieans has been organized in Bid deford and the captain, Alphonse F. Houle, has written the adjutant gen eral. asking if he can furnish the com pany with arms for drill purposes. General Farnham says he is very sorry he is unable to do so, as he has only a few arms which, under the law, he can deliver to an organization other than the companies of the Guard. The number on hand is so small that they would be of little use to the new com pany. He believes, however, that through the exertion of a member of Congress, the secretary of war might provide the company with a full com plement of arms, obsolete for army use, but which would do nicely for drill purposes. He will advise ("apt. Houle to apply to Congressman Allen for as sistance in the matter. A formers' institute will be held in Foxcroft on Thursday, April 10, fore noon and afternoon, under the direction of Commissioner Gilman. This is his own home and he proposes to have all Maine speakers. Dr. George M. Twitchell of Augusta, will speak in the forenoon on the "Horse Demanded in the Market at the Present Time.” In Long Hair Ayer’s Hair'Vigor doesn’t make every one’s hair grow to a remarkable length. But it does sometimes produce the most marvelous results. This is because it is a hair food. It feeds the hair, nourishes it; hence' stops falling of the hair and always j restores color to gray hair. “Aver’s Hair Vigor stopped ray hair from tailing and made it grow, until now it is 45 inches long.” Mrs. A.

Mule Spinners Ask for An Increase at Edwards’ Mill, A rumor was afloat, yesterday, that the Mule Spinners Union, among the employes of the Edwards Manufactur ing Co. in this city, had asked for an advance of 10 per cent, in wages. A Journal reporter saw several members of the union and learned that the rumor was correct. It was said that a committee had waited upon the man agement. calling attention to the re cent advance in Fall River and asking for a like advance here. The members seen were firmly of the opinion that the advance would come in response to the request. It is said that none of the other em ployes of the company belong to unions, consequently no request has come from any other source. It was said at the local office of the company that nothing had been heard from the Boston office, from which the orders in this connection will come. Notice to Carpenters. AH members of Local Union No. 914. Carpenters and Joiners, are requested to he present at the regular meeting next Monday evening. March 31, to confer with the committee from the Painters' Union and to transact other important business. Letter to Hon. J. 11. Manley, .4 utinxla, ilainr. Dear Sir: Congressman Kelden, of Syracuse, painted his Thousand-Is lands cottage in '92 with Devoe; and painted it again in '99. with the same, of (ourse. Takes 80 gallons. What! does it last only seven years?” Depends on what you pait for. No one can tell how long a job of paint Is going to last in any particular case. The paint may last ten years and the color five. A summer cottage Is painted for color, of course- it is also painted to keep out water, to keep It from rot ting. Seven years is a good long time for paint to look fresh—depends on the color though, some colors last longer than others. Three is too long for some of the prettiest colors. Nothing pays better, in building a house, than a good job of paint: and nothing pays better, in keeping it up, than repaint insr as soon as the paint shows signs of impairment. Itut this is to keep it I sound. For ;he looks, you may paint it whenever the freshness is off. It’s i matter of color: not of paint. Yours truly, F. W. DEVOE CO. P. R. J. H. Cogan Co. sell our paints. mar27 PARK COMMISSIONERS. Annual Report of Board in Hands ol Mayor. Reasonable Appropriation, Judiciously Expended, Is Recommended.

It is not expected that a great amount of work can be accomplished in any one year; but a reasonable appropriation, ju diciously expended, will make this what is, perhaps, better than a perfected park, —that is, a growing park. Monument Park is one of the beauty spots of the city. It has abundantly re warded tlie Increase care given to it dur ing the past two years. The monument has been cleaned and painted and is now in excellent condition. Comparatively little yearly expense will be needed on this park, outside of the care-taking, for some time. It is hoped that the appropriation this year will equal that made for 1901. Respectfully submitted. C. S. HICHBORN. Chairman. MELVIN S. HODWAY. Secretary. SAMUEL C. MANLEY, RICHARD E. GOODWIN.

"In the winter of 1898 and 1S99 I was taken down with a severe attack of what is called La Grippe," says F. L. Hewett, a prominent druggist of Win field, 111. "The only medicine I used was two bottles of Chamberlain's trough Remedy. It broke up the cold and stopped the coughing like magic, and I have never since been troubled with Grippe.” Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy can always be depended upon to break up a severe cold and ward off any threatened attack of pneumonia. It is pleasant to take, too, which makes it the most desirable and one of the most popular preparations in use for these ailments. For sale by John Coughlin. 177 Water St.; J. C. Houle han, Gardiner.

Y., of March 4th, says: “The Boston Symphony Orchestra de lighted a large audience in Music Had, Troy, last night. Madame Lillian Blau velt was the soloist. She appeared with all the charm of her youth and beauty, clad in a poppy colored gown with pop pies in her hair, and a gold decoration— the order of St. Cecilia—on her corsage. She is as dark as Jessica, and had ad mirable hair and beautiful teeth. She sang “Sweet Bird” from Handel's "11 Pensororo,” and an aria from Verdi's Sicilian vespers. Her voice was clear and line with crisp runs and dainty top notes and the effect of the two pieces was ex traordinarily brilliant. She was called out four times after the Verdi aria.” There will be special rates on the Maine Central for the Blauvelt concert which is here at the Opera House on Saturday, April 5. The Rulers of Minstrelsy Here Shortly. One of the new organizations this sea son that the alert and critical theatregoer will have a chance to look over is Prim rose Dockstader's Big American Min strels which will be seen here on Friday April 11, at the Opera House, and if he is to be won over to their army of ad mirers, he will certainly say that as an entertainment, it is replete with all that goes to make an evening enjoyable.

Primrose Dockstader and their colleagues of which there are a goodly number and the singing will be by a chosen number who have been selected because of their cap abilities.

The work on the new city building goe 5 steadily on, about 20 carpenters being now employed there In addition to the unskill ed men and those of other trades. Much of the work now to be done falls to the carpenters, so they are in the majority. They are fitting the windows, of which there are of course a very large number, and putting in some of the whitewood linish in the lobby of the hall. The whitewood will he painted by the decor ators in colors in harmony with the dec orations of the walls and ceilings. Herbert Fowle of Boston, has a crew of men engaged in putting on the papier inache work along the galleries and lc other places about the hall where it will be used. This work is already well along. The proscenium arch of the stage has been completed and the men were putting on the finishing touches along the galleries, yesterday. This work Is very graceful and tasty and when tinted by the deco rators will look very tine. Mr. Fowle is a sub-contractor under the decorators and will put In all of the papier macho work. As soon as this Is completed the decorators can follow with their paint and brushes and then the real beauty of the whole building will begin to develop. other contractors are at work down 0:1 tin* lirst floor. Iho crew sent by the Murdoc Parlor Grate Co, of Boston, has arrived and began the preliminary work of laying the tiling in the main hallway, yesterday. The base for this comes al ready made and looks like a highly pol ished bit of granite and is very prett>. The tiling for the lloor will be made, however, in the building. The materials used are marble chips and cement. When this has been laid and hardened it will be polished so that it will look like actu al stone, and in fact it will be very difficult to tell tile difference. ti»* foundation for the tiling lias Ivon completed so that everythin* is ready for the completion of the work. It is ex pected that this main entrance will be a thin* of beauty and a Joy forever when it is completed. If first impressions count Tor anything, as the common opinion Seems to Indicate, they will be very goo 1 when strangers enter the city building. Meanwhile the last work on the exte rior has commenced. The galvanized iron trimmings have been treated to sever? i I coats of paint and now look so much like I sandstone that one can hardly tell the difference who has watched the work right along. This work has been about completed and the work of washing down the brick and putting the final finish on them has commenced. it certainly looks as if the building would be a beauty when completed. ]r will not be particularly ornate, but will be elegant and substantial. It is already attracting much attention from strangers and is receiving much favorable com ment. The work is progressing rapidly now and is showing up well. The city hall x itself is rapidly nearing completion. The f ,loor boards have arrived and the work of putting them In will be pushed along rapidly. The decorating and flooring is the bulk of the work ahead in the hall, although there will of course be many odd Jobs to do after this Is completed. X&9 baoglsg ol assnerjt Biasing of the chairs will be the hardest work of the furnishing. The building is certainly coming along at a most encouraging rate and is win ning friends every day. A NEW FURNITURE STORE. Picher, Maher Libby Open for Busi ness in Commodious Quarters. A new firm open.si for business, yes terday. Although the firm is a new one the men who compose it are well and most favorably known In the business life of the city, so it may be called a development rather than a novelty. This is Picher. Maneti Libby, dealers in furniture and stoves, plumbers and steam fitters. This firm will occupy practically the whole of the space in the Meader block on lower Main street which was va cated a few years ago by Redington Vo.. which firm also conducted a furni ture business there. The block is com monly called the “old Redington store," on account of the long occupancy of Redington Co. before moving into their present quarters on Silver street. As the building had been used as a fur niture store, it did not need so very much fitting up for the new firm. But lots of fresh paper and paint have been spread, so that everything is new and fresh. The new firm will oeeupy the first floor and basement of the store just be low that of Eugene Emery, the tailor, ard will also have the two upper lloors over its own store and that of Mr. Em ery. This will give lots of room for the various departments. Everything will be carried that is usually found in a furniture store and there is room enough for a good number of depart ments. A good amount of stock has already arrived and more is pouring in so that every department will soon be completely filled. Gideon Richer, the senior member of the firm, is the genial ex-alderman from Ward 7, and the business men are delighted to see him come up onto Main street among them. He will continue his old store on Water street for the present at least. Joseph E. Poulin, who was chief clerk for the late Joseph Grondin for many years, has entered the employ of the new firm in the same capacity. He is well known in the furniture trade of the c ity and will prove a valuable man for the new concern. This now makes three large, modern and up-to-date house furnishing stores In the city. Everyone will wish the new firm great prosperity in the future and a long life. WATER STREET EXCITED. Joseph Lessor Makes Farewell Calls and Then Promptly Disappears. There was lots of excitement down on Water street, yesterday, over the disappearance of Joseph Lessor, who had been employed in the Lockwood mill as a weaver. According to the story that was commonly accepted as well authenticated, Mr. Lessor bade his family and relatives good bye, Tuesday morning, saying that he was going to get out of the way, or some thing to that effect. It seems that no particular attention was paid to the man until yesterday morning, when he had not turned up. Then his strange talk and threats were remem bered and given more significance. It Is said that before leaving Mr. Lessor threatened to commit suicide, saying that he was tired of living. But it is also said that he had been drink ing rather heavily during the'past few days and his talk was considered as just about what might be expected from a man in his condition. The strange talk and farewell visits were made about 9 o'clock, Tuesday morn ing, and the man has not been seen since that time. When a day and a night had been passed without any trace of his where abouts being discovered, his relatives began to get anxious and to think that some of the threats might have been carried out. Quite an extended search was made for the missing man during the day, but he had not been located, last evening. The case has not been reported tp the police and they do not take it Very seriously. They know the man pretty well and believe that he will turn up all in good time sound and well. Noth ing was done by the department, yes terday, to clear up the matter. But the friends of the missing man are worried and his neighborhood Is excited, and if he wanted to create a sensation he has done it. Outside his immediate circle It is believed that nothing has happened to hip-, and that he will turn up when ha pleases and in his usual health and spirits. Jail Sentences Imposed. i acre were two oast's to bo dispose.1 of by Judge Shaw, yesterday. The first was James Barrett better known as "Jim. and apparently a gentleman of I leisure and a citizen of the world. At any rate, that’s the way it looked to the judge, so he gave him 30 days for vagrancy. George Oarey was the second offend er. The judge didn’t have to ask him his name when he was arraigned before him. for he had seen him before many a time and oft. so the charge bn which he was found guilty was that at being a common drunkard and the sentence was 00 days. The marshal ha d a trip to the Capital city in the forenoon with his prisoners anti turned them over to the gray stone lodging house on the hill. TOWN ELECTIONS.

Thm freight yards at this city are fashed with business. A large ship ment nf coal is being received by the Cushnoc Paper Co. This is the secon 1 lot this company has received since the schooner load which was detained at the ntouth of the Kennebec when it dosed up in the fall. At the time the river closed up this company had the cargoes brought by the Lugano and the Lawrence Haines on hand at the Pur inton sheds. As soon as that was ex hausted the schooner load at the mouth of the river was taken to Portland where it was -unloaded and. brought here by rail. All this has been con sumed in addition to the shipment re cently received. Beside this rush in the coal line, there are 25 carloads of cotton at the frdght yards for the Ed wards Manufacturing Co.
