Rheumatism Badly Cripples a Baldwins vil/e Farmer Treated Two Years With a High Priced Physician W'ith No Success URIC-O QUICKLY CURED HIM Sir. Frank Howe, a prominent farmer in the town of Van Huron, says: I visited the best Physician in this country, who treated me for about two years for rheumatism. I spent in that time several hundred dollars and seemed to grow worse instead of better each day. Being on crutches and forced to drive to the train and hobbl ing to the doctor's office became very discouraging, bt alone the sleepless nights and fearful hours of pain. Be ing advised by a friend I purchased Smith's l'rie-o prescription, took it home and used it that day as directed. •‘Those fearful sciatic pains left me. my blood seemed to let loose and flow freely, I felt different and knew the next morning 1 had found a cure, as 1 slept and rested well all that night, something X had not done before in two years. I used in ail six bottles of I'ric-o and have never felt a return of the disease, had no use for crutches or cane since the first day's treatment. "I have since recommended Fric-O to hundreds of friends and acquaintances and in evi ry instance it gave remarka ble relief. To every person who suffers from Rheumatism I say take l'rie-o at once and your suffering will soon end. "I-'RA.^K li'iWir. ilulthvi::. vilh X. Y." Anyone v. no doubts Mr. Howe's ex I riei-e. j; invited to write him for fitrtli* r mils. The manufacturers have so much rou'idefi e hi tii.. r -..i dy that tin y will gladly give a large i.'.e. bottle of Fric successful in every case that a fperial arrangement lias been made by which all readers of this paper, who harv not already tried it, may have sample bottle cent free bv mail, also a hook tc-11 ing more alxiul Swamp-Root, and howto I'm lout if voit have kidney or bladder trou ble.

The two Chinamen who had a mixup witli Kit.ridge Davenport fcfunday af ternoon were brought before the judge yesterday morning on a warrant sworn out by Davenport for assault and bat tery. The Chinamen were unable to carry on a courtroom conversation in English and it was nec« ssary to bring anotht r laundryman. The ease was clearly one of misunderstanding on the part of both sides and tiie defendants were dismissed, on the ground that they used only reasonable force, which right the law gives a man to eject a trespasser. The trouble occurred over a garden plot back of the building in which Mr. Davenport lives. The land lord of the building gave Mr. Daven port the right of the garden. The gar den was one which the Chinamen have had for a number of years and they have made it into tt respectable looking place from a rubbish heap. The land really belongs to the Gardiner estate and the Chinanu n have had the use of it and the consent of the estate to con tinue to use it. The ease of Robert Ifood and Isaae H. Allen against Mr. and Mrs. James Gilson will be tried this morning. Elmer Sherman, who was badly bit ten and Used up in Chelsea Sunday afternoon, learned the name of Ids as sailant, one "Car Kullertou, and bad a warrant sworn out for his arrest. It seems that the cause of the trouble in Chelsea was a Sunday ball game between the Chelsea Tigers and a team from this side of the river. Neverthe less the tiger who did the man-eating did not belong on tin* Chelsea team. The ease will be given a In aring this morning. City Government.

Keane of the Hai lowell Baseball Association will short ly call a meeting of the association to decide upon what action will be taken toward the organizing of a Trolley League team for the coming season. Hallowed is a baseball town—no doubt about this, and it is apparent that none who were interested in the game last year are prepared to say that the prospects are dull or gloomy for a team this year. Togas. Gardiner and Winthrop have been heard from and it is known that only a small breeze would bo required to kindle tile spark to a tire of real enthusiasm. There remains yet a month and Hood’s The standard blood-purifying medicine. In usual liquid or new tablet form. Sarsaparilla some days in which to kindle the fire. Obstacles encountered last year were chiefly weather conditions. The treasury was depleted by the necessity of paying men when games were repeatedly cancelled on account of rain. No money in this—all going out and nothing coming in. With a fund in the treasury to be gin with; with a competent manager to train and hold his men under his thumb—with these assured and or dinary weather conditions prevailing it appears to all that the game would progress satisfactorily. The attendance in Halloweil has always been good. NATIONAL HOME. Officer of the day, Capt. Daniel Mc Ada ms. Thomas Musselmnn went to Boston on a pass yesterday.

The banquet is said to have been one of the most sumptuous ever served in this city. The guests assembled in a small re ception loom in the suite and at 11 o'clock entered the dining room, where the wedding supper was served. After the supper the party, led by Mr. Corey and his bride, passed down the hall be tween the rows of palms to the double salon, which was decorated to repre sent a small church. Broad white rib bons attached to small white posts formed an aisle down the center of the room, on either side of which were the chairs for those invited to witness the ceremony. At the head of the aisle was a small white aitar before which was a prie dieu covered with white silk, at which file couple knelt during the ceremony. On each side of the altar rose a white column, the two being joined by one arch. The columns and arch were heav ily draped with smilax, dotted with' hundreds of orchids.

May 12.—The wood working mill of Shaw Rcmby and a coal pocket owned by the Highland] Coal Co., were destroyed by fire to-1 night, occasioning a loss of $40,000. The] fire at one time became so threatening' that a vn-.i-ai alarm was sounded in this city and help was sent from Soiri erville, the fire being within a few feet i oj the dividing line. The mill and the coal pocket were situated beside the| tracks of tlie southern division of the Pesior. <v Maine Railroad and all trains for the north were held up for several hours. Across the tracks is the hig lum ber yard of A. Ij. Littlefield and brands from the tire set several lumber piles in flames, but the Somerville depart-) moot arrived in time to stop the spread ing of the fire in that direction. In responding t" the call for aid, Ilnse, No. T of Somerville lost a wheel and every man on the wagon was thrown to tlie ground with considerable vio lence.

Talesmen Seek to Escape Duty in the Haywood Mu"der Case. Uoise, Ida.. May 12.—Only a fragment of today was given over to actual work in the trial of William I). Haywood for complio'ty in the murder of former Gov ernor Steunenhcrb, and the one step for ward was tiie qualification of a single talesman, who seems marked for per emptory challenge later. The rest of the time went to the talesmen of the special venire and the reasons that made it lm-! possible for them to serve the state at, this time. 4 There are now 12 men oceupjing the jury box and jury house. Of the num ber four have b“en examined and tern-! porarily accepted by both Hides, and eight remained to lie questioned by the de- fence. In future tihe court is to sit from 10 to 12 o’clock in the morning and from 2 to 4.20 o’clock in the afternoon until otherwise ordered by Judge Wood. BOXiNG AT NEWPORT. Paul Bcechler Has Things All His Own Way With Jerry Connors. Newport. Me., May 13.-Thc boxing ex hibition in tlie Town hall Saturday was witnessed by about 1.7) people. Jack Hef fernan officiated as referee, and John A. Merrill was official timekeeper. In ths preliminaries Young Soule and Bantam Stuart came together for six rounds and tilings were about even. Kid Sanborn and Sandy Soper had it good and lively in the six rounds they were allowed to go and honors were about event. The main bout was between Paul Beechler of this town and Jerry Connors of Camden and Watcrville. At the first tap of I lie gong the boxers went at It as? if they meant business. Beechler was by far the more scientific and had no difficulty in putting it all over Connors, who showed a decided disposition to rough it. The first two rounds were all in lleechler's favor, although occasionally the Camden man would get 'in a wallop. Once in the first round Beechler sent Con nors down for a count of nine and again in the second round Connors found the way to the floor. In the first part of the third Connors, after a moment of spar ring, tripped Beechler, as many thought, with deliberation, so that the. local n»in fell to the floor, striking a thumb in such far.hion as to break the joint. His head also came in contact with the floor and he lay unconscious for a moment. Upon examination by his physician Beechler was not allowed to continue. BOXING NOTES. P'.rlland Express, May 13: Bartley Con nolly goes to Bumford Falls tomorrow morning to finish his training for Tom Sawyer, whom he meets in a six-round bout on Wednesday evening. This is a very classy contest and lit is generally conceded among the sporting iraternity tli.it the outcome practically involves the welterweight title. This Bartley claims, and in order to retain it he- must clcaTly show his superiority over Sawyer. And Sawyer’s followers think the Portland iK.y can't do this In a month of Sundays. So far as weight, strength and science is concerned, it would be difficult to dope out a more even match. SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

May IS —With i»l« as nnt weather Tuesday the baseball en thusiasts of Bangor and vicinity will have an opportunity of getting a line on the speed of the team that is to rep resent Bangor in the Maine State League, as the first game of the sea son will be played at Maplewood. Ban gor has not picked out an easy thing for the initial contest, but will go up against the real thing as tin- antago nists of the local aggregation will be the husky ball tossers from the I'niversity of Maine, who have played steady and fast ball all the season thus far. Man ager Paige anil Capt. McDermott are confident that their men will take a fail from the Orono players, but if they do it will be to their credit. Capt. McDermott arrived Monday and f3 in the pink of condition. He saw his men work out at Maplewood Mon day afternoon and states his belief that Manager Paige has the nucleus for a fast team. While there will doubtless have to be changes made and some now talent' secured. McDermott be lieves that most of the men engaged are fast enough.

Whither the trip of tilt* New Yorks to the Pacific coast in March was a financial success or not. its bench iat results have been apparent in the play of McOraw's men in the way they have worked together since the fall of the flag. With two problems to solve— how to use four equally good outfield ers in three positions and to pick a candidate for second base from abun dant material—Manager McOraw bad plenty of time to consider the puzzles while the Giants were in Los Angeles, and lie hit the right combination on his first guess, thanks to the kicks of Pon lin and Mullen about the salary ques tion. When the little Napoleon.began work with his men in California circum stances made it necessary for him to use Shannon as a regular outfielder, though midwinter predictions had Spike decorating the bench as a sub stitute. Corcoran was placed at second, ami the team as it was seen on the first alignment has boon in evidence al most ever since. Dontin joined the club in New Orleans anil deserted it on the way North, but the original line up. with Shannon in left field and Cor coran on second base, lias been tlie* one that has sot the pace in the National League, barring the changes that have been made because of necessity through the injury to Browne's tinkle and McCann's attack of illness. Playing together for two months, (lie Giants developed a system of team work that no ether team lias been able to equal, for Chicago was handicapped by the absence of Tinker and the fail ure of Kling to report until the eve of the championship race. Dahlen and Corcoran got a full understanding of each other's style of play at the key stone of the infield, and now are as rapid and well suited a pair as if they had filayed together for three seasons, instead of three months. McOraw made the correct guess on his outfield and infield at the start, but developments since the season has been under way indicate that other em barrassing conundrums await him. Shall John J. upset a winning com bination. which is something all man agers arc fearful of doing, by returning McCann to first base and Browne to right field when they are again able to play these positions? Bowerman has been hitting at a terrific clip and field ing in faultless stylo. and Strang never has shown to better advantage than during the time he has been sub stituting for Browne. Bowerman or McCann at first. Strang or Browne in right? This is the double-barreled question that is up to McOraw at this minute. Resourceful hall is what the Giants have been playing since the season opened, and what they ar* card'd to play all season long, unless they abso lutely forget their second nature and the instructions of their manager. Barring the squeeze, every variety of play to get the bettor of their an tagonists has been exhibited by Mc Graw's men. anti while their batting ability is unquestioned, they can now give the W bite box a run for the title of hitless wonders if capacity for scor ing many runs on few drives he tin* means of taking that nickname from the Comiskeyites. In the first four weeks of play the records show that the New Yorks have scored Tit runs on 146 hits and the Chicagos S6 runs on 1 4 hits—a differ ence between counts and clouts for the Giants of 3.33 and for the Sux of 3.83. McOraw's men have reached first base through errors of tit** enemy 34 times and Jones's charges 3S times. New York has received SS trips to first through lack of accuracy on the part of opposition twirlers and Chicago 84. Totaling hits, errors and passes, the Giants have seen the beginning bag on 338 occasions and the Worlds Cham pions. in throe more games. 281 times. Figures certainly show both aggrega tions to be clever in putting runs to gether on every possible opportunity, with New York slightly in the lead in this respect at present. of tremendous advantage to the Giants has been the happy return of Mathewson to form. When a pitcher is considered "ft‘ his stride when he wins 33 nut of 34 games, as Christy did last year the thought follows that he must he a’wonder if right, and that is what the Rurknell boy is now. Three shut outs in four trials is a good start on a successful season for Matty, who by defeating Pittsburg on last Wednesday registered his 155th victory in the Na tional League. His defeats now num ber 83. Mathewson has won more games from every team in the League than be lias lost, enjoying his greatest success against Kt. Louis. Philadelphia and Cincinnati, from which clubs ho has taken 6S contests and lost only 3->. The Chicago Club has been the hardest nut for Mathewson to crack, but he has munched it 30 out of 38 times and hopes to add another triumph to his cause tin week after next, when the Cubs are due at the Polo grounds. We Stand By “Our Mike.” The purchase of Mike Kelley by the lo cal club will do much to clear up a case which lias been a disgrace to baseball for nearly two years. Kelley was placed under the ban by the National Commis sion because he refused to report to the St. Louis club as a result of a traudulent deal between the St. Lillis and St. Paul clubs. His purchase by Washington clears up this end of the matter, but since thr n the American Association, in which Kelley managed a eluli. wanted to get him* out of that league, are! framed up a cliarg** that made him ineligible to plav in its circuit. The commission holds that Kelley is not eligible to pViv any where if there is anything against him in title association, and that is where the matter now stands. It is most likely, however, that tile III'** will tie entirely cleared up before long.—W ashington Post. There has never been a cleaner man in professional baseball than Alike Kelley, and the attempt of bis enemies in the American Association to throw him down is one of the blackest spots on profes sional baseball. We cannot believe that he honorable men wht make lip the Na ionnl Crmmlssion will stand f**r it a min NEW ENGLAND. Lynn Beats Worcester, but No Change in Standing.

American Association Will Not Be come an Outlaw League. Milwaukee, M is.. May 13.—A report from Toledo that the American Associ ation is to become an outlaw league and place teams in Chicago and St. Louis is ridiculed by the association s officials. When seen T’res. Joe O'Brien of the association said regarding the rumor: “There is absolutely no truth in it. I have heard of no such scheme, and would not sanction it if I did, as we are living in harmony now, and want t.i remain so. We have had enough of outlaw ball.” Pres. Havener of the Milwaukee club, and a director of the association said: I know nothing of such a movement. There have been reports in the past about some such move, but there was no foundation for them. We have been badly treated by the major leagues, but that is no reason for us to form an outlaw league. We will demand better treatment and hope to get it without resorting to war measures.” Vice Pres. C’hivington of the Louis ville club also staled that he knew nothing of such plans. The veteran George Wood will make his first appearance of the season in Lowell next Friday as umpire in the game between Lowell and Brockton. KI)\VARI> 1IKVHON.

Young Madigan Is After Bout With Tommy Quill. Governor of Colorado Refuses it Interfere With Bouts. X" big bouts are scheduled for thij week, but there is a fairly full bill minor events on the program. Joe Thomas, who by virtue of his bout with Honey Mellody at Philadelphia tried to claim the welterweight cham pionship, will be one of the stars at the National A. C., Philadelphia, on Satur day night. He will meet some good man. Word came from Lawrence that Tommy Sullivan is the man selected, while the news from Boston is that Billy Rhoades had been asked to test the skill of the young Hercules from California. If it's Thomas and Sullivan, it ought to be a very interesting engagement Sullivan and Thomas fought at Chelsea less than a year ago. Thomas winning after a desperate battle in nine rounds. Since tin n Tommy has been elamoring for a return match. He claimed that he was obliged to reduce a lot of weight in very short order and that he wasn’t himself when he met Thomas. At that lie led the Californian a merry dance fer three rounds, and many thought he would he able to get over the wallop up to the last minute. Rhodes is a strong hitter and a hard nut to crack. He gave Bill Bapke two hard fights and also showed well against Terry Martin. In a six-round bout between Thomas and Rhodes there would be some very fast milling. Fighting Dick Hyland, who almost earned the title “Frightened" when he was here and matched with Kid Goodman, only to cancel the bout at the last minute, has something very soft and easy coining his way on Friday night, when lie is matched with Billy Finueane of Chicago at Denver. Judg ing by the way Dick has been fighting and bv the fact that Finucane really re tired from the roped arena some time ago it looks like a cinch for Warrior Richard. Rouse O’Brien will fight twice this week, both contests to he at New York. He will meet Kddie Lenney, a very fas! lightweight, at the Sharkey A. C. on Wednesday anil on Thursday will tadsfe Kig Stinger at the Long Acre A. C. His manager, Johnny Shealey, has arranged for him to meet Frank Paul on Friday. May “4. at the Apollo A. C. New York, and on May 30 it will be Rouse against Jack Goodman at Rock away. LOOKING FOR FIGHT. Young Madigan Is Anxious for Match With Tommy Quill. Huston, May 13.—A rattling goou lightweight who should not seek in vain for matches is Young Madigan of Randolph. He is only 23 years old ami tights best at about 130 pounds. Ho has nut George Freeman twice, in sit and igln-rour.d draws: Spike Halej. whom he knocked out in one round; jack Reardon of Philadelphia, going to a draw in eight rounds with him at l-ymansville last Novcfhor: "Willie Mitchell of Liverpool, whom he knock ed out in three rounds at Brockton; Steve McGuigan, in a six-round draw, and a victory in eight rounds, and Billy Lemaire, v hom ho bested in three rounds. 'Madigan fought Willie Riley the night Yanger and Goodman fought at t’helsea. Madigan fell through the ropes and injured himself so that Riley won. Madigan is very anxious and most willing to fight Tommy Quill, ah'1 says that the Brockton boy can hate a tight at 133 pounds any time. REFUSES TO INTERFERE. Governor Buchtel of Colorado Will Net Prevent Gardner-Lewis Bout. Denver. Colo.. May 13— Petition by the Christian Citizenship Union Denver to prevent a prize fight be tween Harry Lewis and Jimmy Gard ner on May 21, Governor Buchtel yes terday announced that he would not interfere, the city having ample power The governor says: “All the union has done is to get at the young people to read the sportins pages of the newspapers, which I con sider a most obnoxious practice." BOXING NOTES. Kid Shea of Hallowell has opened a boxing school at the Augusta Social A. C. rooms. Pupils wanting lessons call at club any evening. The management of the Augusta So cial and Athletic Association has re ceived a letter from Black Fitzsimmons of Hartford, Ct„ who states that h* would like to get on a match with Young Coyne of Hallowell.

Tuesday, May 14, 1907. it is not understood that the fight against the drug trust is aimed against the profits in the sale of postage stamps. “What if Eryan is getting rich?” shouts an exchange, “every dollar he earns is clean!" Nobody will dispute this; neither will it be disputed that each of his dollars is worth 10b cents. The King of Siam who is enjoying a holiday trip through Europe selected only a mere handful of his wives, 40 to lie xaet, out of the 4ft00 in his harem. Although the King of Sian: lias more titles than could be crowded into a column of newspaper space, few men will lie inclined to envy him when they think of the reception he will reel ive win ii he goes l,a« k home and the 1*0 I letter halves who wen left in hind. Although April ~ft. tin- day upon v. hi-h the .Juine. town enloiiists made their landing in 1007, was eeli-brnt' d at Jamestown by the formal op-niiig of 1 in* Mr posit ion, yesterday. May 111, was the aettlal anniversary of tile founding of tin- Jamestown settlement. Tin eailier .late was eel* brati d in order to allow lb*- Exposition a longer time to run, all faugh as a matter of fact tile Exposition was many weeks short of being ready to do business at that time. Toe arrival of that young Spanish pi Ini-e adds one more to the list of future icings who are griat grandsons f the late Queen Victoria of England. IP r deseetidatits already oecnpy sex eial of the leading thrones of KuiUiiii"«l that one important reason is I ho legislation of t he pm sent ses sion str- ihelling the eight-hour at t applied to stitte ami inunieipal em ployes. inquiry among state institu tions indicates that the expense >m— volvetl will much exceed legislative vpf tatic ns. As near as can ha learned these institutions will require JmH) aihliliotial nurses ami other em ploy* u to e remem bered that the enlargement of the Cony High school building is a necessity of the near futun if the usefulness of that institution is- to he what it should he. Conditions are now crowded there and the school is constantly growing in numbers. Work is being carried on at a disadvantage and before the much need'd commercial department can be added and the other new courses which are want'd for the benefit of those students who are not preparing for college, an enlargement of the building is imperative. It is poor economy indeed for th*1 city to handi cap the work of its High school and prevent its natural enlargement and development by denying it sufficient room in which to work to advantage. The enlargement of the building is not something needed at an indefinite time it) the future, but something which must ue attended to at once, and it will he specially fitting for it to be a fea ture of this transition period when our old school system is discarded for one more modern and progressive. Tlie war department reports an alarming increase in army deserters. Hast year it was in per cent, or G25S men, equal to six regiments. All this is very sad. but we see no way to rem edy it until certain subordinate officers learn to treat enlisted men like human beings. Mr. and Mrs. Mixner do not appear to be shedding any vain tears over the dissolution of their domestic partner ship. it really looks as if it would he a relief to both of them. Both Moyer and Pettibone have jail records, but that is not supposed to weigh against their associate Haywood who is now on trial. Many people were surprised not to find interviews with that new Spanish prince in the Sunday yellow journals. The Washington Star well says that then is ro use threatening Mr. Bryan with defeat. He's used to it. Senator Nixon, of Nevada, is a min ing magnate in the tew Gohilield region. He also runs a string of new s papers an i a stria; «e' banks. In In. early cays he was a telegraph operator. The States at Jamestown. Maine is hy no means the only state whose legislature failed to make any provision for a State building or ex hibit at the Jamestown Exposition. Nevertheless, over half the states made generous appropriation for this pur pose and their buildings are now in process of construction. It is said that only two state buildings, those of Rhode Island and Connecticut, were completed and ready for business when the Exposition was officially opened last month. It is interesting to note the states which have made pro visions for building at Jamestown and the money appropriated in each instance. Here is the list: Alabama, $25,000; Arkansas, $15,000; Connecti cut, $70,000; Delaware, $10,000; Louisiana, $15,000; Georgia, $50,000; Illinois!, $25,000; Kentucky, $40,000; Maryland, $65,000; Michigan, $20,000; Missouri. $40,000; Massachusetts, $50, 000; New Jersey, $75,000; North Dakota, $15,000; New York, $150,000; Nortli Carolina. $50,000; >hio, $75,000; Oklahoma, $10,000; Pennsylvania. $100,000; Rhode Island. $50,000; South Carolina, $20,000; Tennessee, $30,000; Virginia, $300,000; Virginia counties (additional), $150,000; Vermont, $10, 000; West Virginia, $55,000; New Hampshire. $10,000. Nearly all the state buildings are colonial in style of architecture, but some of the states have reproduced famous buildings of dill', n ut kinds, lh.- purpose being to present types of famous hones and hails where famous' personages dwelt and great events oc curred. Tims. Georgia lias reproduced Rullneh hall at Rosw* II. Georgia, tit* inane of Alailio Bulloch, mother of President Roosevelt, and where she was married to the President’s father. This building will l>c iiedie.it. June in. the President delivering the dedicatin') address. The 12 rooms of the house are furnished hy the 12 lending cities of tin* state. New Jersey presents a reproduction of Washington’s headquarters at .Morristown. Pennsylvania has eon s!rinded a replica of old Independence hail at Phil;: h-lphiu, corresponding in every detail to the original. Mary land has reproduced the home of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, one of tile signers of tile Declaration of Inde pendence and tin* last of that immortal band to die. Massachusetts has re produce d the old Shale House as ii stands on Sett'- and Washington streets, Itoston. Kentucky is rebuild ing Daniel Roonc's fort. Connecticut's building is a reproduction of the Ben jamin Talmage home at Litchfield, the first colonial mansion in Connecti cut and tlte home of a famous Revolution;! y officer. New Hampshire will reproduce the John Langdon home of Portsmouth, one iif the finest specimens of colonial architecture in the country. It was erected in 17s t by John Langdon, Un civil leader of New Hampshire in the Revolution. The descendants, who now own tile house, will furnish the Jamestown reproduction at tlcir own expense. (>hio has reproduced in cement a model of the first stone house ere.-ted west of tile Alleghenies and which was the home of Governor Worthington wln-n the Ohio capital was i'hiliioothe. Most of tlte other states have erected houses of colonial design although nut reproducing any special structures. These stale build ings. according to the plan, arc all permanent structures and after tlie* Exposition closes will be transformed into homes, club-house, hotels and tit. like, if enough money is raised h"t'e in Maine hy private subscription, llic famous Longfellow home in Port land will lie the conirihution of litis stale to til. list.

He served in both branches ably and conscientiously, but after that never desired or held any public office, in 1X02 he was appointed assistant surgeon of the Second Maine Regiment, but at the end of six months resigned mi account of poor health, and re turned to resume his practice in Unity, where he remained until 1X72 when lie went to Michigan. Here’s a spring house cleaning yarn from a Rumford Falls correspondent: Tite story is of a local doggie, which is wont to leap from the open kitchen windows to the piazza upon such oc casion as he finds the window open. This week, housecleaning has been in progress at the aforementioned house, and the kitchen windows had been made as clear as crystal. The little dog was anxious to leave the house, and to his doggish vision, the lear window was as if there was no glass between him and outdoors, so he gave a leap, when—whack,—his tender little nose came plump on against the glass, and doggie was knocked tint onto his poor iittie hack. He looked at tile window in great surprise and bewil derment, and then, concluding that someone must have Hit him with a punishing hand, he curled his pitiful little tail he tween his legs and slunk away to a corner where lie brooded over the mystery until he forgot his injuries in sleep. When the curtain was rung down Saturday evening at the Portland theatre, in all probability to rise no more on strictly dramatic productions, S3 years of Portland's most interesting theatrical life came to a close. That is the span which the Portland covers and now it is to be for a time a moving picture house and then give way to a commercial block. In that more than half century, it has been known by many names and its attraetions have run the entire gamut—from grand opera to tite baldest of burlesque and from Kdwin Rooth and Joseph Jeffer son to the Wild Man of Romeo, and l ining and Eng. the Siamese twins. It lias been styled Deering hall. Pauneeforte’s athenaeum. Music hall. Flora Myers’s theatre. Ward’s Opera house, Reering's Music hall, the Xew Portland theatre, but for the past 27 years lias Clung very loyally to the name by which it is now known. In its time it lias touched elbows with neatly everything dramatic in Port land s history. It was opened before tlio burning of the old Museum on Union street and while the old City hall in what is now Monument square was still the concert auditorium. It was a contemporary of old Lancaster lin.ll, saw tlie new City hall open and stood untouched while that structure was gutted by the lire of '66. In later times it saw the fewyeared success of the Portland Museum at the head of Exchange street and ten years ago, with the building of the Jefferson, settled down to the fact that it could no longer hope to be tile real home of the drama.

The Flag and the Schools. ti*or: land Telegram.) State Sup. rintcndem nt Schools Stetson calls attention of the teachers of the State to a law passed by tin' last Legislature requiring towns to furnish Hags for school buildings, and hopes for a general compliance with the provisions of th* statute. Patri otic instruction in the public schools is now considered a matter of consider able importance. Pupils are taught to salute and revi-ro the Hag whenever displayed and to he constantly re mind) d that it is tile emblem of lib erty and National unity. The super intendent also suggests that the teachers make use of the National emblem in educating the youths of our State iu the objects and principles fif our government, the sacrifices of our ancestors and ilie cost at which our institutions have 1). cp established and maintained. Pupils should be instructed in patriotism and love of Country even in the lowest grades and a display of the dag with instne tions as to ils significant- and its glorious record is the most cfuctive method of reaching the impressionable mind of the youth.

When the hook was pulled from its mouth it brought with it a white perch, weighing five or six pounds, which had previously swallowed the hook, and in removing the hook from the perch it was found a chub weighing one or two pounds had swallowed the minnow.

Doubt Exists as to the Exact Meaning oi the Law. Exempting Property of Civil War Veterans From Taxes. Concord. X. II.. May 13.—One of the measures affo. tin.- taxation which was passed l.y the X> w Hampshire legis lature last winter is causing perplexity to the assessors of various cities and towns who are at work this month making their annual valuations of real and p.rsonnl property and it is eonsid i red probable that the courts will lie allied to interpret certain pitrases of tile new law. The main point in doubt is whether a speeds at ion in the Hill refers lo property of every description whatso ever or only to taxable property, as a basis for estimating the value of a veteran's estate which, until r the bill, is in part exempted from taxation, tit hep provisions, also, are held to he ambiguous, if not unconstitutional. This law, known as the “veterans' tax ex emption act.” provides that every vet eran. of tin- Civil War or widow of a veteran shall be exempt each year from assessment upon taxable proper ty up to the value of $1000, provided that such person does not own proper ty of the value of $3000 or more. The exact meaning of the words “prop; rty of the value of $3000 or more," is the point which is particu larly puzzling to the assessors. Some of those, ^tlicials are in doubt as to whether all classes of property, such as real estate, money, stocks, bonds, mortgages. etc., should he iyehnled in the "estimate of the ownings of a vet eran or a veteran's widow. Conse quently in many eases they are unable to determine whether such persons are entitled to the exemption or not. In Manchester and many other places the assessors arc* adopting a literal interp retation of the law and are including cv ry kind of property in their esti mates. The chairman of the assessors in Manchester, George H. Clark, voiced the view of these officials by saying: “There is the law. presumably' as the la ".•makers wanted it. and we shall en force it as we understand it. The city of Manchester will not participate in any c.-ort action regarding this law." It is intimated, however, that those who. do not feel certain that this opin ion is correct will cal! upon the courts of the state t make an interpretation of the law. Another phase of the condition re sulting from the enactment of this measure is that opposition to its pro visions which has developed in some quarters, on the ground that it will crus" .in increase in the tax rate which wi'l be seriously felt in many places. While the measure will have compara tively i it tic effect in the larger cities, it is .‘"t iled that in some of the smaller towns the residing decrease in valua tion and consequent increase in the tax rc.to ill lie appreciable. In Manches ter. the largest city in the state, it is estimated that the shrinkage will be hewer11 Soft.000 and $00,000 in a total valuation of about $34,000,000. and in Concord and two or three other cities about $.”,0.ii00. In the town of Newport, the valuation this year has been re duced by $20,000. causing an increase in the tax rate from $2.20 to $2..$5 and it is sail that some of the residents at tribute this shrinkage in a large part t,. the veterans’ tax exemption act. There is some possibility that a test case may he brought In order to deter mine the constitutionality of the act. The assessors of the town of I.ynde hnro consulted with local counsel with regrird to this point, and were advised that while the law would probably be sustained by the courts as constitu tional, it might be attacked on the ground that it is not within the prov ince of tile state to make financial pro vision for war veterans, this duty be longing io the federal government. It is understood that the assessors of oth er towns in various sections of the state also have consulted with coun sel respecting the act, but no formal action has yet been taken to bring it before the courts.
