Doctors and Medi cines Useless. Cured in Four Weeks by Cuticura. I have a boy, fifteen years old,horn in Fishkill, portrait enclosed, who had the eczema so offen sive that I could not stay in the room with him. Tiie poor boy suffered terri bly. His feet were terribly sore, lie could not wear any shoes, and had therefore to stay at home from school. When he put on a. pair of dry stocking* in the morning, tliev would in one hour be saturated with moisture and very offensive even in tiie coldest weather. The di sease began to spread over his b o d y, e s p e c i a 11 y his hands and lingers. The thumbs on botli his hands be came stiff and as useless as to withered sticks of wood. It would be useless for me to try to tell tiie suffering ttiis hoy endured. 1 look him to two different doctors, both gave him lots of medicine, but all to no use. He grew worse. I therefore despaired of ever having him cured. One day I saw the great benefits promised to those who would use Cuticura Remedies. I went right away to the drug store and bought them. I must confess I had but little faith in them. However I used them according to.direc tions, and to-day I say truthfully to all the world, il you wish to publish it, that my son is entirely cured, thank God and thank the dis coverers of Cuticura Remedies. They cured him in four weeks as sound as a gold dollar. JOHN SAVAGE, Fishkill Village, N. Y.

A British Duchess Sentenced to the Common Jail. OTHER FOREIGN NEWS-TIIE CASE OF THE SEALS. Mr. Carter Quotes the Views of the Late James G. Elaine—The American Coun sel’s Explanation of the Garbled Rus sian Translations—Mrs. Maybrick Said To Have Attempted Suicide—How the People of Zante Fare in Their Misfor tune. LotiuoN, April 18. The Dowager Duchess of Sutherland was today com mitted to Holloway prison under a sen tence of imprisonment for six weeks imposed by Sir Francis Jeune, president of the court of probate, for contempt of court. Notwithstanding that the im prisonment of a British duchess in a common jail is probably unprecedented in England, the affair did not excite any great surprise among tlie public, and it had been anticipated that the court would take severe action in view of the flagrant contempt with which the duch ess was charged. The name of the dow ager duchess is Mary Caroline, and she was a widow at the time of her marriage to the late Duke of Sutherland, her pre vious husband having been Arthur Kin dersley Blair. The late duke himself was a widower at tlie time of tlie marriage and had children and grandchildren, the eldest surviving child being the present Duke of Sutherland. The late duke died September 22, last year, aged 67 years, leaving a will highly favorable to tlie duchess. This will was contested by flin nunonTif .mw ---If_l _ been carried on with much bitterness. On Saturday last in the court of probate, the counsel for the present duke asked that a writ of attachment should be is sued against the dowager duchess on the ground that having obtained an order to inspect certain papers, she had deliber ately placed in the fire a document which, under the order, she was permit ted to inspect. When the case came up today an affi davit was presented on behalf of the duchess, setting forth that the document which she had burned was a private let ter, written to her by her late husband before marriage, that she had not thought it any harm to destroy a docu ment of that character, and she closed by offering an apology to the court. Sir Francis Jeune said it was evident the destruction of the document had been deliberately plannod, and that it was ef fected by violence and deceit. Justice Jeune then imposed the sentence of six weeks’ imprisonment for contempt of court, and sentenced the dowager duch ess to pay a fine of £250. The dowager duchess was awaiting the disposition of the case in the barristers’ consulting room. Her solicitors had been prepared for the result, and had a carriage in waiting. Accompanied by her solicitors she was driven at once to Holloway jail, where she was taken in and lodged as a first-class offender. MR. BLAINE’S CONTENTION. Views of the Dead Statesman Quoted to the Arbitrators. Paris, April 18,—In the Behring sea coart of arbitration today, Mr. Carter spoke at length concerning the mis-trans lation and other garbling of Kussian doc uments originally incorporated in the evidence for the United States. The motive of the translator in thus attempts ing to embarrass the American govern ment was not ascertained, Mr. Carter said. Fortunately, the United States government had in its possession the printed Kussian originals. Great Bri tain could not truthfully accuse the United States of bad faith in the matter, fiR fill t.hft nntrnstwnvtlnr Hnon_’ ■withdrawn. In reading portions of the correspond ence between Mr. Blaine and Lord Salis bury, Mr. Carter laid special stress on a certain letter from Mr. Blaine, which did not represent Behring sea as mare clausum, bat only claimed abso lute rights over a small portion of it, although the United Statos government considered itself within its rights when it suppressed pelagic seal ing. If any nation, to gain some small profit, should poison the high seas near the Canadian coast, Mr. Carter said, Canada would be justified in interfering The interference of the United States with pelagic sealing in Behring sea was equally justifiable. Pelagic sealing was destructive, and as indefensible as the poisoning of the waters ot the high seas. In Stricken Zante. Athens, April 18.—Incessant earth quake shocks were felt at Zante through out last night. The island shook contin uously, and the panic-stricken people were in momentary dread of the ground opening and swallowingthem. The con dition of the sick and the aged is pitia ble. The weather, however, is pleasant, and much suffering is thus escaped. The heavy shock yesterday morning that caused such _ devastation in the island lasted for 25 seconds. The motion of the earth was from the East to the West and the ground swung back and forth lute a slow moving pendulum. Many people who were on the streets were thrown violently to the ground. It is estimated that there are only 200 houses remaining that are fit to ho inhabited. Many of the structures standing are in momentary danger of falling down. They will have to be pulled down. Mrs. Maybrick’s Latest. London, April 18.—A report has been circulated and generally credited in Wok ing that Mrs. Florence Maybrick tried to kill herself in the Woking prison on Sat urday. She is said to have stabbed her self severely in- the throat and chest with a table knife, which was taken from her barely in time to save her from indicting mortal wounds. Decided Against the Fair. Chicago, April 18.—'The Record to morrow will say that despatches from 1 Washington announce that Attorney General Olney rules against the World’s Fair on the important questions recently submitted by the exposition authorities. The principal point raised was that as Congress made an absolute gift of $2, 500,000 in souvenir coins to the World's Fair it is not within the province of a subsequent Congress to attach condi tions to this absolute gift withholding part of the appropriation until security is given for the repayment of a part of the sum given. According to informa tion received from treasury officials, Mr. Olney holds that one Congress can quali fy the acts of a previous Congress by at taching conditions to gifts. TALKED ABOUT THE WEATHER. How the President Received “Blue-Eyed Billy” Sheehan. Washington, April 18.—Bubbles con tinue to come to the surface of the polit ical stream which indicate that the visit of Messrs. Murphy and Sheehan to the White House last Friday was not as sat isfactory as those gentlemen would like to have people believe. It is said tonight, on authority which cannot be doubted, that Mr. Sheehan broached the subject of the Erie county patronage when he and Mr. Murphy were alone with the President, and inti mated to Mr. Cleveland that he believed he ought to have something to say con cerning the way the offices should be dis tributed in Buffalo and its vicinity. It does not appear that Mr. Cleveland gave any promises to the lieutenant gov ernor. He found it convenient to change the subject'a number of times, and there are indications that the weather was dis cussed fully as much as the question whetner the machine was to receive the recognition its representatives claim as its due. One thing may be set down as a fact; the Hew York patronage question will not be taken up by Mr. Cleveland for several weeks yet. Of Interest in Maine. Washington, April 18.—F. C. Hill has been appointed postmaster at East Cor inth, vice Everett P„ Beale. Patents have been granted to Gertrude P. Buck of Auburn, for thread-cutting attachment for shoe-string machine; Ed ward C. Merrill of FarmingtoD, for arti ficial teeth. COLD WATER IN A HOT BOILER. The Familiar Cause of an Explosion Three Men Killed. Peovidence, E. I., April 18.—Early this morning three men were killed and one probably fatally injured by a boiler explosion at a small twine miil run by Benjamin Moon at Washington, a village about 14 miles from Providence. The explosion occurred at 6.25 a. in., just be fore the time for starting the machinery, and some of the employes were in the mill at the time. The killed were Amos Har rington, aged 51, overseer of the card ing room; Samuel Perry, aged 38, and Irving Clark, aged 35, both employes of the carding room. The explosion wrecked the boiler and engine room, and one corner of the mill, a wooden structure, was blown out. The cause of the explosion was the carelessness of the fireman in pumping cold water into an empty boiler while his fire was brisk. Had the accident oc curred a few moments later when the full complement of hands were at work the loss of life must have been much greater, since the flying bricks and pieces of iron were sent in all directions by the force of the explosion. A Town Nearly Destroyed, Cassville, Mo., April 18.—Every business house in town, including the banks and two local newspapers, was burned this morning. The loss is $200, 000 and the total insurance not over $30, 000. There is great suffering among the citizens. Cassville is the seat of Barry county. Five Men Killed. Leadviiae, Col., April 18.—A terrific explosion occurred this morning at Busk Ivanhoe tunnel on the Colorado Midland Railroad, 18 miles west of here. Five men were killed and four others, it is thought, fatally hurt. The explosion was caused by the igniting of powder by turning on a current of electricity. Three Acres Burned Over. Denver, Col., April 18.—1Three acres of buildings on the Windsor farm, near here, burned this morning; loss $40,000, covered by insurance. Loss *70,000; Insurance *40.000. Springfiedd. O., April 18.—A paper mill at Evan, six miles west, belonging to the Columbian Paper Company, burn ed late last night; loss $70,000; insurance about $40,000. Dynamite in the Pipe. Minneapolis, Minn., April 18.—Whi’e some men in a mine blacksmith shop at Tomer today were pounding up old gas pipes with a steam hammer, an explosion took place which killed three men and injured nine, two of whom will die. It is supposed that a quantity of dynamite was in a piece of the pipe. GHERARDI MADE CALLS But Dispensed With the Customary Burn lug of Powder. Fortress Monroe,April 18.—Admiral Gherardi today visited 17 of the meu-of war in this harbor. Contrary to the cus tom in such cases, no salutes were fired. The crowd here is increasing and filling all the boarding houses and hotels in the vicinity. The German ships arrived tonight. They are the Kaiserin Augusta, the most modern war ship now in the fleet, and the Zadler, a small gunboat The Kaiserin Augusta saluted first the United States flag and the flags of the American and English admirals as she steamed slowly to her place near the Russians. Tonight our senior rear ad miral entertained the high command ing officers and the junior officers did the honors to their fellow officers on the visiting ships. Mnyor Shaw of Bath. Bath, April 18.—At the second elec tion for mayor, today, Shaw, Republi can, was elected. The vote was Shaw, 741; Kelley, 501. J. P. Emmons, Rep., was elected council man from Ward 3, BULLETS VVIV BALLOTS. Belgians Recall the Horrors of the French Revolution AND REPRESENTATIVES VOTE FOR UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE. The Strike for the Ballot Likely to Prove Successful—Law Makers Surrendered While the Strikers and Police Were Fighting—Yesterday’s Battles—In One Town, Soldiers Charged Upon the Rioters With Fixed Bayonets, Brussels, April 18.—The Ghamher of Representatives, 119 to, 12, with 14 ab stentions from voting, adopted universal suffrage with a provision for plural vot ing by classes owning property accord ing to the amount and situation of the property. The cheers within the chamber were followod by a prodigious acclamation from the enormous crowd that awaited the result of the voting outside. The greatest enthusiasm was displayed everywhere and the people joined in a’ jubilee in honor of the triumph which they had achieved. It is expected that this decision favoring universal suffrage will have an allaying effect upon the popular excitement and agitation which was rapidly assuming the dimensitns of a general insurrection. The dread of a terrible uprising like the French revolution had the effect of bringing the Chamber of Representa tives to the popular side. JThere jg no doubt in many minds that had the chamber not acted promptly there would hflVA liPPTl 9 l’OPrtllltinn ir> TJv.ncc.iilr. In view of tlie action of the deputies the labor leaders resolved this evening to advise the abandonment ot the gen eral strike. They decided to issue to the people a manifesto against the Nyssen bill which proposes a combination of plural voted and universal suffrage. The leaders will urge the people to follow up the victory by agitating unceasingly for universal suffrage, pure and simple. A DAY OF RIOT. Tlie Situation Before tlie Action of Parli ament Became Known. Brussels, April 18.—Last night passed far more quietly than the authorities ex pected, but; nevertheless, the outlook is still threatening. Dispatches from all parts of the kingdom inhabited bv the working people bring disquieting news. Disturbances occurred in several places during the night, but there was no con ceted attempt to rebel against the King. The movement is directed entirely against the Chamber of Deputies and the Minis ters who oppose the workmen’s demands for the light to vote when they reach legal age, without any property qualifica tion. The King, it is known, is in favor of a wide extension of the suffrage, and the crowds of excited workingmen who are now demanding what they believe to be their right have nothing against him personally. Impartial observers of the situation readily find sympathy with the strikers. Belgium is, with the exception of Russia, perhaps, the only country where there is absolutely no law protecting the work ingman from the rapacity and greed of his employer. The Belgian workingmen have seen within the past ten years their brethren in other countries placed under the protection of special laws enacted for their benefit, and have seen employers held to a strict liability when these laws were violated. The Belgians have had nothing and the Bourgeoise class, which rules the country, evidently intend that they shall have nothing if they can prevent. Hence, in their desire to assert their manhood and secure their rights the spectacle presents itself of a gigantic strike to obtain the right to elect repre sentatives among the law makers. Were tne striKers armecl and disciplined there is no question that the industrial revolu tion now shaking the counfry would quickly become a bloody contest. As it Is, tlse strikers have, in many instances, routed the armed police, and have not hesitated to attack the soldiery. The peace effective of Belgium, officers and men, is 4S,841, exclusive of the Civic Guard, numbering 43,647 men, and it will, therefore, be seen that the disor ganized mobs of workingmen, only a few of whom possess weapons, have lit tle chance of overthrowing the govern ment by resorting to attacks upon the troops. In Antwerp today the outlook was more threatening than it was yesterday and this despite the fact that extraor dinary military precautions have been taken to preserve the peace. Among the more prominent of the agitators in Antwerp are a number of Anarchists. Of these, two, Fabry and Welter, have made themselves particularly obnoxious to the police, and today they were placed un der arrest. The striking dock laborers began their disorderly demonstrations again this morning. They took possession of the docks and marched along the water front, attacking the men who were at work, compelling many of them to quit One captain of a vessel from which the men had been driven away protested to the rioters, whereupon the mob prompt ly stoned him and forced him to flee.' The police force were Anally ordered to disperse the rioters. A short conflict ensued during which the police used their swords and revolvers, and finally the mob scattered. Ihe most serious disturbance that oc currod today was reported from Bour gerhout, a village a short distance from Antwerp. Many candle makers are em ployed in the village. The majority joined the movement in favor of univer sal suffrage. Those who remained at work were attacked by strikers today The troops were called upon to protect the workers and restore order. The ao pearanco of the soldiers, ho'wever had little or no effect in quelling the rioters An order to the rioters to disperse met with no attention and the strikers con tinued their attacks on the “black legs.” The officer in command of the soldiers then ordered his men to fix bayonets and followed this with an order to charge. On the full |iud, with levelled bayonets, the soldiers charged upon the rioters and drove them away. Four strikers were killed, and 15 received more or less serious bayonet thrusts. It is certain that some of the wounded will die. Here, as in other parts of the country, the men in many instances were spurred on to riot by the women. Police and working men had several encounters this evening. Six rioters were seriously injured. Many arrests of so cialists are reported from the provinces. The strikers today set fire to 400 bales of cotton ou the Quai du Rhin, Antwerp, and were driven from the quay after a sharp conflict with gendarmes. AID FROM FRANCE. Despite the Government, Socialists Are Hard at Work. New York, April 18.—The Evening Post’s special cable despatch from Paris says: The French government has in structed the governors of the northern industrial towns to expel any foreigners who may be organizing to assist a revo lution in Belgium. The Belgium Social ists at Roubaix resolved to disregard these measures, and met and passed a resolution declaring their readiness to subscribe and otherwise assist their brethren in Belgium. A large propor tion of the miners in Roubaix, Armen tines, Pas de Calais and other districts adjoining the Belgian frontier are natu ralized Belgians, and French Socialists arc making efforts to induce them to strike to assist the aeitators in Belgium by stopping the supplies of Belgian cus tomers. TROUBLE IN MICHIGAN. Assignment of Large Concerns Causes a Run on a Bank, Lajtsixg, Mich., April 18.-The Lan sing Lumber Company and Lansing Iron and Engine Works today executed to Or lando M. Barnes mortgages on all their property to secure their paper, of which ho was a large endorser. All the assets of the two concerns, acerreo-atinir 81 8m 000, were placed in his hands. It is said the liabilities will not exceed more than half that sum. The embarras ment of the two institutions was caused by the stringency of fthe money market. The state banking commissioner today took charge of the Central Michigan savings bank in this city. There was a run on the bank all today, owing to the uneasy feeling on ac count of the embarrassment of the Lan sing Lumber Company and Lansing Iron and Engine works. The statement of the bank’s condition has not been made public. A New York Difficulty. New York, April 18—The liabilities of Barr Company are stated to be be tween $275,000 and $300,000. The firm in January last claimed to have over $250,000 actual assets. The Messrs. Barr are the principal owners of the Central American Trading Company, wholesale coffees, 107 Front street, with branches in Boston and Chicago. The Messrs. Barr are also interested in the Nassau Trading Company of Brooklyn. The latter has a capital stock of $20,000. The Central American Trading Company has a capital stock of $25,000. The assets according to inventory January 1, were $120,000. Don’t Like the Scheme. Boston, Mass., April 18.—The Boston and Maine people, though they say little about the billforanew union station in the legislature, are not highly pleased it seems. Vice President Niver, in conver sation, said that it was somethin:: that came from the committee without any investigation and without hearing them at all or giving them any notice that they were considering anything of the kina. Hon. A. A. Strout, counsel for the Boston and Maine, said: ‘T have not had the privilege of going over the hill with the committee, or thus far of exam ining it in detail,but from the hasty glance I was able to give it, it seemed to insist upon an elevated structure upon one of two locations, which requires that passengers should come in upon the second story instead of on the ground floor as heretofore. The measure is mandatory, and involves the expenditure of many millions. Severe Storm at Halifax. Halifax, N. S., April 18.—A heavy, easterly gale, accompanied by snow and rain, has been raging with damaging force all day. A number of vessels in the harbor dragged their anchors more or less and considerable damage was done to shipping generally. The bark Lakine collided with steamer Dalhama this afternoon, causing considerable damage to both vessels. Stole S2500 in Two Years. New York, April 19.—Charles M. Sidney was arraigned in the police court today charged with embezzlement. He was bookkeeper for several years with Kaufmann, Strauss Co. 75 Duane street. He is said to have carried on a systematic scaling for the last two years,^aggregating $15000. He was held in $2500 for the grand jury. The Drummers Will Celebrate. Boston, Mass., April 18.—The Colum bian Associated Travelers, composed of the commercial travelers of the world, will celebrate their day July 20, at the World’s Columbian Exposition. The en tire week, from J uly 24 to 29 inclusive, will be consumed by the traveling men in celebrating at Chicago. The Maine and the Concord. Boston, April 18.—The House today passed tlie bill authrizing the Boston Maine to acquire the Concord Montreal rord. An effort will be made tomorrow to secure a reconsideration of the vote. BRIEFLY TOLD. Much anxiety is felt in seafaring circles over the non-arrival at Philadelphia of the British steamship Castlegate now two weeks overdue. William George Eobert, Earl of Craven, and Miss Cornelia Martin, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bradley Martin, of New York, were married at 1 o’clock yester day afternoon by Bishop Potter and Eev. Dr. Huptington, at Grace church, in the presence of over 2,000 of the elito of New York and English society, with all the pomp suggested by the nobility of the bridegroom, and with all the' magnifi cence allowed by the immense wealth of the bride JOBS BULL’S TRAVELS. America’s Oldest Locomotive on the Way to the World’s Fair. THE VETERAN GOING ALONG AT A RATTLING PACE. Two of the Cars of Long Ago Make Up the Train—One was Rescued from a New Jersey Farm Yard Where It Had Done Duty as a Chicken Coop—The History let the Old Engine. Philadelphia, April 18.—Plunging along on its way to Chicago and the Fair is the first locomotive that ever pulled a train of cars across American soil. It is a relic, a curiosity, a thing of the past, to be looked at and wondered about, but it has lots of get-up-and-go in it yet. It does not snort as defiantly as a Chicago motor, nor whistle vaingloriously, nor clang its bell like a fire-alarm, nor turn one’s heart to beating backward when it lets off steam. In the old days,’ maybe it was considered haughty and bo'.d, but age has lent in dignity. Without any frills or fancy work, it is able to make from 20 to 30 miles an hour as calmly and easily as it did in the days of its solitary eminence, and at that rate of speed, which is rapid enough anyhow for people who don’t want to rush through life like a ball in a bowling al ley, it is going to Chicago. John Bull is the name of this engine. It was named after the genius that brought it into being. It was almost the first locomotive of his handicraft. He had been at work on the idea for some years, ever since, in fact, Robert Fulton paddled his way by steam up the Huson River. But it was not until 1830 that tho idea came to much. In that year iud iwumuuve -rianet issued irom tne shops of George Stephenson, the first example of an engine which could really pull cars in a commercial way. Just af ter the Planet’s completion, Robert L. Stevens, who owned the Camden and Amboy Railroad, then operated by hors es, was in England and witnessed a trial trip of the Planet. He gave Stephenson an order for a duplicate machine, and in August, 1831, it was in Philadelphia. This was the John Bull. As seen today it looks crude and queer, and yet there is very little about the most magnificent monster that tears its way across the continent which does not find at least the suggestion of an origin in the John Bull. The big driving wheels, the smoke-stack, the cylinders, and even tho long levers to start and stop it are all there in much the same places as in the modern engine. That which is the odd est to the eye about the old John Bull is its misshapen pilot, a contrivance that was added after it reached this country, to enable it to take curves without tumb ling off the track. The pilot is something in the nature of a heavy cow-catctier, mounted on two wheels and serviceable as a steering apparatus. It is doing its work as faithfully today as when it was in regular service on the old Camden Amboy road. The engine and its coaches go to Chicago in form as they went on their daily errand nearly sixty years ago. The coaches are not as old as the locomotive, but the difference iB slight. One of them had fallen into the lowly estate of a chicken coop, until lately dis covered by a Pennsylvania railroad offi cial. A Jersey farmer had got hold of it at a sale of old railroad relics. He took it from its trucks and mounted it on high posts driven into the ground. Here for years his fowl lived in comfort and security. When approached to sell it, with a Jersey farmer’s sense of the ap preciation of real estate, he demanded something like the price of a modern Pullman coach. He guessed what it was wanted for, and could not be driven far from his original valuation. The sagacity which led him to choose an old time railroad car for his chicken honse, now fills his declining years with peace and plenty. The other coach has always remained in possession of the railroad company. me jonn liuil did. active service until 1850, and on this run to Chicago the en gine is manned by old railroad men who served on it when the veteran did daily work. Large crowds of railroad men and others cheered the quaint train when it left here yesterday. MANY PERSONS KILLED. Death and Destruction Caused by a West ern Cyclone. Little Rock, Ark., April 18.—News was received here today of a fearful cy clone in the Fourclie Valley, Scott coun ty. The town of Soles was almost en tirely destroyed. Seven persons were killed and a large number injured. The path of the storm was half a mile in width and everything was swept before it. Four Killed at Osage City. Kansas City, Mo., April 18.—A des patch from Osage City, Kas., says a cy clone passed o- er that city this evening. Four people are reported killed and sev eral injured.

Omaha, April 18.—The action of the Moulders’ Union last night in refusing to sanction the strike of the Union Pa cific employes, put a damper on the en thusiasm of the men who walked out yesterday. All the moulders went o work as usual this morning. The other iron workers who quit yesterday re mained out. No additions were made to the strikers’ ranks today and everything about the shops was quiet. No effort was made to nil the places of the strik ers. WORLD’S FAIR RATES. Railroads May Yet Do Almost Unlimited Cutting. New Yoek, April 18.—A morning pa per says: There may yet be trouble ov er the question of rates and the form of tickets for the World’s Fair passenger traffic. An agreement has been entered into by the Eastern trunk lines and their Western connections it is true, but some doubts are expressed about the ability of certain railroad companies to live up to that agreement. Some correspondence on this subject has passed between D. I. Roberts, gen eral passenger agent of the Erie, and Col. Aldace F. Walker, chairman of the joint executive committee of the Trunk Lines and Central Traffic Associ ations. The Erie railway wants a more definite understanding with regard to the in tentions of two or three of the trunk lines concerning tho existing agree ment. “If all of the roads interested are not going to live un to the agreement, what is the use of having an agreement?” Mr. Roberts asks. Among the stipulations contained in the recently formed agreement for the World’s Fair passenger traffic are two which already show signs of disso lution. One is that there shall be no deviation from the schedule of rates agreed upon, and the other is that round-trip tickets shall carry no stop-over privileges. It is alleged that the New York Cen tral and the West Shore railroads have contracts—signed, sealed and advertised —which will nullify the two provisions mentioned. These contracts are for the running of special trains between New York and Chicago at special rates. Two series of excursion trains out of this city and one out of Boston have been ar ranged, and in each case the passengers will have the privilege of stopping off at Niagara Falls for a few hours. Railroad companies, such as the Penn sylvania and Erie, which have made no special' contracts for tho World’s fair business complain that the effectiveness of the agreement will be destroyed it the New York Central and the West Shore roads are permitted to carry out then special contracts, and Col. Walker has been requested to call for a special meet ing of the joint executive committee this week to consider the matter. One prominent railroad man said yes terday: “If all the roads are not going to live up to the agreement strictly, then the agreement will be a dead letter, and there will be a general scramble for business. If such a state of things should arise there will be no limit to the rate cutting. A trip to Chicago will be cheap enough to satisfy the most economical mind.” Funeral of Cornelius Hanrahan. [Special to the Press.] Rockland,’April 18.—The funeral of the late Cornelius Hanrahan at St. Ber nard’s Catholic church this morning, was largely attended, the business men of the city turning out in force. Bishop Healy of Portland, officiated, assisted by Fathers 0’Brien.of Bangor, Wallace of Lewiston, O’Brien of Bath, Seckenger of Brunswick, Whooley of Boston, McDon ough' of Portland, Harrington of White field, McSweeney of Bangor and Phelan and Coughlin of Rockland. High pontif ical mass was celebrated. In an eloquent eulogy Bishop Healy said that no Catho lic in Maine exceeded the deceased in high character, liberality and devotion to the church. The remains were taken to Thomaston where they were interred in the Catholic burying ground. A Rockland Law Suit. [Special to the Tress.] Rockland, April 18.—M. W. Mowry, E. E. Payson et als., stockholders in the Maine Manufacturing Company, which does business in the Park Street Pants Factory building, have brought a bill in equity against Browning, King Co., of New York, H. C. ‘Stein and A. S.

W. H. Fogler appears for the petitioners, and C. E. Littlefield for the company and the hear ing is assigned for May 9. The petition ers claim that the affairs of the company are not conducted in such a way as to result profitably to the stockholders. Contest for the Shrievalty. Skowhegan, April 18.—There is an active contest for the appointment of the successor of the late Sheriff T. T. Abbott. The successor will he appoint ed by Gov. Cleaves. The two prominent candidates are Payson Viles of North New Portland and Frank Harding of Madison. The question of the enforce ment of the liquor law enters somewhat into the contest, Viles being the candi date said to be the most acceptable to those in favor of a moderate enforce ment. A Tilt in Court. Blddeford, April 18.—During a ses sion of the Blddeford municipal court this afternoon, Deputy Sheriff Charles B.

It is reported that the Methodist church of the place is liable to have a lawsuit to light at no distant day. The facts as re ported are as follows: members of the church made a fancy quilt, and then made the proposition that any one desir ing his name on a square in the quilt could have it worked for a stipulated sum. The report has gone out that the quilt was presented to the pastor with out a name on it, also that they obtained some over $50. Much indignation is expressed and threats of proseeuttou are made for obtaining money under fals.e pretences. More neat stock has been driven through this village since March 1st than ever was driven through it before in so short a space of time. It is reported til at there are but two yoke of oxen in this town over seven feet. Eugene Stanley sawed his hand quite badly while at work in his mill. Some three inches of snow fell Satur day. An otter has been tracked in a number of places about here on the light snow. L. Moulton is in a very bad con dition. lie lias resigned his position as selectman and town a°*ent. The trouble seems to be in his head. Six teachers presented themselves for examination Saturday. Some very good examinations were passed. Rumors of a shoe factory and another woolen mill are in the air. Postoffice, who shall have it—that is the question. The woolen factory is to run part of its machinery by night' again. We do not think that many factories would be idle if they had as good a superintendent as Mr. Allen Garner is. Mon who ought to know say that it is hard to find a mill that produces as fine goods as are pro duced here at this mill. Pownal, [From our Regular [Correspondent.] A belated snow storm commenced falling on Saturday afternoon and con tinued until about midnight. There was a fall of from six to eight inches on the level.

STATE TOPICS OF INTERESt, The State Board of Trade has just de cided to have its annual meeting at Bel fast, upon invitation of the Belfast Board of Trade. The meeting will oc cur some time in September, but the exact date, which will be arranged by the Belfast board, has not yet been de termined upon. It will soon be decided, however, and the programme will then be arranged. The Belfast board will make preparations to entertain the vis itors in a most hospitable manner. Cel. E. C. Farr ngton, secretary of the Maine Fish and Game Association, is sending out communications to people residing out of the state. The purpose is to interest the sportsmen and those who seek “the happy hunting grounds” of Maine to contribute toward the pro tective woi k to be undertaken by the associat on. President Eugene M. Her sey has a list of 2000 names of those who come to Maine from other states during the summer who it is believed will take pride in contributing to the associ ation. The association agrees to spend every dollar so received in the propaga tion of fish and game. If $15 be given by any one person ho will become an honorary member of the association. An Augusta despatch says: The latest rumor is that the Augusta post office row may be compromised by the appoint ment of Oscar Holway, Esq., the flour king, as postmaster. Mr. Holway is not saying much about it. He is as shrewd as he is bland and never goes about with a brass band to advertise his plans. He can give some of the boys points in prac tical politics, but I doubt very much if he wants the jjost office himself. So Lack of Sentimentality in a Dull Man’s Reverie. An Estimate of Women That Appears Lu dicrous to the Student of Changing Con ditions—A Few Criticisms and Remind ers For the Single Man. However little may be the logic dis played by those who argue against equal rights, it is certain that there is no lack of sentimentality on their side. In “A Bachelor’s Reverie” the bachelor la ments the fact that woman’s work now is whatever she chooses to select and sighs for the old fashioned woman who had no ambitions. Judging from an other part of the reverie the old time woman had ambitions, but they were scrictly of the domestic order. Her first ambition was to be a wife, second a mother, third a mother again, fourth again a mother, fifth once more a mother, sixth a mother, seventh a moth er, eighth a mother once more, ninth a; maternal parent, tenth a parent on the! mother’s side, eleventh, twelfth andi thirteenth ditto, ditto, ditto. These! nnmerons but rather monotonous am bitions were cherished, it is to be sup-^ posed, in memory of tho Emperor Na-| poleon, who once informed Mme. de( Stael that “the finest woman is the ona who gives the most children to her coun-j try.” This estimate of women, which may be called the Dorking hen estimate, is ludicrous because it is the limitation of! a limitation. It is safe to assert that the emperor’s famous saying is in great-: er favor with bachelors of dreamy tend encies than with parents of practical minds. The most enthusiastic mother builds up her hopes on the quality, not the number of her offspring, and the 1_A_ il A_• AT. _.T If_ _AT uoo« UJ.VJbu*7.L o vidim tucn guio iuvlu erhood no more carefully than they train their boys for fatherhood. “Life approaches its sere and barren stage,” continues the dreamer, “when man is forced to meet loveliness in the guise of a competitor.” It does seem un-, fortunate that loveliness should occa sionally have to compete, but if her hus band does not support her or if she has no husband she must choose between be ing a competitor with a man or a finan cial dependent on him. Sere and bar ren ae it may be for man to meet loveli ness in the guise of a competitor, it is even more sere to be forced to meet the same loveliness in the guise of half dozen ablebodied feminine dependents. “The young girl,” muses the bachelor, “with a mind divided between office and love could never be the embalmed es sence of all that is adorably, the inspi ration to all that is worth living for.” That depends entirely on the girl. It is a foregone conclusion that her mind will not be divided very long. If she decides on the office, she may be come the embalmed essence of all that is clear headed and true hearted, the in spiration to all high thinking and right doing. If she prefers the other alterna tive, the fact that she once aspired to office will broaden her interest in affairs, rescue her from the narrow mindedness which is too often the accompaniment of a monotonous domestic routine and keep her thoughts securely above tatting and tattle. We have no grudge against the em balmed essence of all that is adorable. Accompanied by a large mental grasp, an accurate knowledge of what is being thought and done by the world’s best thinkers and workers and a livelier in terest in the universe than in one small person inside of it, the embalmed essence would be rather taking. Otherwise it amounts to no more than so much blanc mange. Just before rousing from his reverie the bachelor points out that several wo men in the world’s history have endeav ored to meddle in its affairs and always with deplorable results. It would be easy to give a larger list of women who had been political benefactors, but such an argument is no more worthy of con sideration than the argument that be cause there are hypocrites in thie church therefore the church is rotten, or that because there are quacks physicians should not be trusted, or that because there is bad money in circulation one should empty one’s pocketbook into the fire. But we are taking the reverie too se riously. Dreams, however fantastic, are always laughed at when the sleeper awakes and by no one so heartily as by the dreamer himself.—Wives and Daugh ters. A Punctilious Man. A card should be turned down at the upper left hand corner when a call is made in person and the recipient is not at home. An amusing base of the punc tiliousness with which this rule is ob served in Europe is that of an old Span ish gentleman who went to pay his de votions at the shrine of a saint, but dis covered that the church was undergoing repairs and that there was no priest offi ciating at the altar. Unwilling to lose credit for his devout intentions, he drew a visiting card from his pocket, and care, fully turning down the comer reverently deposited it on the altar.—San Francisco Argonaut. 1 Advice to a Would Be Lawyer. A correspondent asks, “How would you advise a young man of moderate means, desiring to become a lawyer, to proceed?” We would advise him not to proceed. Of course if he shows signs of becoming a good and great lawyer, he might properly borrow money, make his way to the bar and repay the loan as he can. But for most men of moderate cir cumstances who seek, as you do, “free legal education,” our advice is to give up the idea. There are enough poor law yers now. There are too many lawyers, for that matter. Very few can do more than earn their salt.—New York Sun. His Becommendation. Priscilla—Tell me honestly what qual ification has your fiance for a husband?

MISCELLANEOUS. For 25 Years a Sufferer! Was Anally cured by that Monarch of Health and Purifier of the Blood King's Sarsaparilla Head wliat he has to say s| King Manufacturing Co. Bridgton, Me. Gentlemen: I have been a victim of Salt Rheum for the past twenty-five years, suffering terribly at times. The inside of my hands were covered with cracks, some an inch long. It was not uncommon for blood stains to follow any arti cle I might handle. My feet also were cracked open, some nearly two inches long. You can imagine how difficult it was for me to labor tinder these afflictions. I had tried many things, but without effect. More from curi osity tnan anything else, I used King’s Sar saparilla as directed, taking five bottles, and my hands and feet are as soft and smooth as any one’s. I give the credit to King’s Sarsaparilla, and should any one doubt this statement, they are at liberty to write me for particulars. Yours Truly, Bridgton, JOHN B* BRAY, M.D., For seventeen yearn one of the leading practicing physician a of Cumberland County. Maine, expresses himself as follows concerning this MONARCH OF HEALTH and PURIFIER OF THE BLOOD: Bridgton, Me., Jan 28,1892. King Manufacturing Co., Gentlemen:—I have carefully examined your Formula for your Sarsaparilla and though wedded, as are all physicians to their own prescriptions, yet I unhesitatingly en dorse and recommend its use for the com plftmta lor wnicn u claims 10 cure. I find no ingredient in its compound which could be omitted without violating its effects. Every property is recognized by the medical fraternity as essential in praotfce, and In this combination each has its function: to soothe, cleanse, and heal, which, certainly, are the first steps to cure. In a word, it Is both pro phylactic and therapeutic, and I pronounce it skilfully formulated; and in conclusion will say, in my seventeen years’ practice here I have used sarsaparilla in its different forms but have never found a combination so effect ual in results as that realized in the prepara tion of King’s Sarsaparilla, which I now exclusively recommend. Sincerely, JOHN B. BRAY, M.D. King’s Sarsaparilla Is for sale by all first-class druggists at 75 cts. per bottle. Prepared by King Manufacturing Co., BKIDGTON. MAINE. i

Wellman Would Spurn the Mexican Minis try—Professor Langley Would Fly—The Single Taxers and the Cat—Mrs. Cleve land’s Candidate For Postmaster. [Special Correspondence.] Washington, April 6.—There is very small chance for a poor man to win fame in the higher ranks of the Ameri can diplomatic service. The first class missions can be held only by men who are able to spend each year a large sum from their private purses. Ex-Secretary Bayard, for instance, will pay dearly for the honor of being the first embassador this nation ever sent across the water. At London he will receive a salary of $17,500 a year, and his expenses will probably be just about twice this sum. When Mr. Phelps was minister at Lon don and ex-Governor Waller of Connect icut consul general at the same place, the minister nd the consul general oc casionally compared notes on their finan cial status. One day after a conversation on this topic Minister Phelps proposed to W aller that they exchange places dur ing the remaining two years that they expected to remain there. “You see, Waller,” said he, “I get a salary of $17, 500 a 3Tear and spend a little more than $35,000 a year, as 1 discover by looking over my bankbook. On the other hand, you take in, salary and fees together, about $40,000 a year, and you say your living expenses do not much exceed $1, 000 a month. So, if you will agree, we’ll simply exchange places for the next two years, and that will bring us both out even. What do you say?” When congress gave the president the power to send an embassador to countries sending an embassador hither, it did not authorize any increase in the salary, and hence Embassador Bayard and Embassador Eustis and the other embassadors, if we have any, will have to meet the demands uoon their mo™ exalted rank out of their own pockets. France and England, on the other hand, allow their embassadors a good deal more money pe$ year than they do their mere ministers, and it is be lieved Sir Julian Pauncefote’s salary and allowances from the British gov ernment as embassador at Washington will run well up toward $70,000 a year. The British minister at the City of Mexico is allowed about $50,000 a year all told, and he spends it all, or nearly all, in sumptuous entertaining. The din ners which he gives in the Mexican cap ital are described as truly royal, and their richness quite puts in the shade the ef forts of our poorly p^id representative at that capital. A few years ago our min ister to Mexico was paid only $12,000 a year, but minister after minister finding it impossible to maintain the dignity of the United States on that sum without plunging himself into bankruptcy con gress very reluctantly raised the mission to the first class. If Minister Gray goes into entertain ing at all—and it is difficult to see how he can avoid doing so and hope to main tain a status which will be satisfactory to himself and his government—he will find his salary of $17,500 a year scant enough. That looks like a big sum of money to most of us, but it doesn’t go very far with a foreign minister. Besides, Mexico has one of the gayest and most prodigal capitals in the world. All the wealth of that country nearly is owned in the City of Mexico. It is a land of glorious climate, soil and resources, but teems with poverty stricken millions. The wealth is controlled by a few, and these fortunate families live in splendor in the capital city. There is little or no manufacturing in the country, and excessive import taxes are levied upon everything bought in the United States or Europe. For in stance, there are no breweries in Mex ico, and the imported beer costs 50 cents a bottle. No vine is produced in the eountry, and as the rich will have wine they find it necessary to pay enormous prices. The truth is, I wouldn’t take the Mexican mission as a gift. In addi tion to the necessity of spending all of one’s salary and throwing in his time as worth nothing, one must run Snormous chances of ending his days there. The city has no drainage. It lies reeking in the accumulated filth of centuries. Who would want to leave the glorious United States and live in a hole like that four i years simply for the purpose of acquir ing a little fame? Much more sensible would it be for a j man to stay at home and devote his energies to something for the benefit of his fellow man. Take, as an example, the case of Professor Langley, secretary of the Smithsonian institution. For several years this man has devoted his great learning and his wonderful energy to the development of a flying machine. He spends his days at the institution earning the salary which is paid him, and he does earn it too. But I don’t be lieve he would admit a cabinet minister to his house in the evening. After din ner is the golden hour which he devotes, and which he has devoted for several years, to work upon his device. All social invitations, all the fleeting vanities of the world, he eschews with the rigor of a religions recluse. 9° has no time for frivolity. Life ia too short with this man to waste an hour that might be de voted to science. Is it not admirable? Of course it is, and the results of all this self denial, of all this labor, are likely to astonish the world and make Professor Langley one of the most famous men of his time. The urotcress which he has made with his flying machine he guards as more or less of a secret, but 1 am able to tell you that within a year oi so he will without much doubt solve this problem of problems. He is building a flying machine that will fly. Years oi stud}' convinced Professor Langley that i flight could not be effected by means oi a balloon. So Professor Langley set out I to build an aeroplane—a flying machine which should flv by virtue of the impact of itself in motion against the surround ing atmosphere. Countless experiments have been made in tins direction also, but ail have failed for lack of proper ad justment of weights and absence of the necessary power. He deserves fame and is almost sure to attain it. There are many different ways of at taining fame. Some men acquire it, and others have it thrust upon them. As an examnle of the latter, take the case of Judge Maguire of San Francisco, who is coming down here as a member of con gress. Judge Maguire won fame with a single story. It was not much of a story either, but its success lay in the applica tion of it. Perhaps yon have heard of the single taxers. The single taxers, led by Henry George, have one of the most perfect organizations known to the art of propagandism. All the single taxers hang together. There are single taxers all over earth. In nearly every country they have their national society, con trolling and co-operating with innumer able local societies. No religious sect, no secret society, no social or political organization that I know anything about, is one-half so much in earnest as the sin gle taxer. 1 hardly know what single taxing is myself, and yet confess to a great deal of admiration for these men who, out of pure earnestness of conviction, very love of their principles, are going forth to try to conquer. It happens that a great many people can’t see through the single tax doctrine. No matter how clearly it may be explained to them, they fail to see the point. And yet it is claimed when they do see it they see it all at once, and with such vividness that the impres sion is left upon their minds ever after ward. It was in illustration of this that Judge Maguire told the story which made him famous. I will try to tell his story for him: “Before a show window in San Fran cisco a crowd was gathered looking at a picture there displayed. A placard by the side of the picture bore these words: DO YOU SEE THE OAT? “I (this is Judge Maguire’s story, re member) looked and looked and couldn’t Bee any cat. I twisted my head this way and that, shut one eye and then the oth er, called all my powers of imagination forward, hut the agile cat eluded me. Concluding that the thing was a humbug ana max xnere was no cax m xne pic ture, I walked away, feeling that the shopkeeper had imposed upon me. A good many people are the same way with single taxing. They don’t see the point and say the whole thing is a fake. But I couldn’t get the cat out of my mind and in an hour went back again. The result was the same. The figure of the cat never presented itself to my vi sion. “^ext morning found me once more before the window. I had determined to see that cat or die. Finally a friend standing near me cried out: ‘There it is. Don’t you see his tail?” And looking where he pointed I did see the end of Mr. Cat's tail, and in another second the whole feline had flashed upon me. He was almost as big as the picture itself, and when 1 had once seen him he almost obscured everything else on the canvas. So it i3, my friends, with the single tax principle. All of a sudden it flashes upon the window of your mind, and it can never be removed thereafter.” Another man who is fast acquiring fame in a queer way is Frank Lawler of Chicago. An odd sort of a fellow is Frank. He served several terms in con gress from Chicago, and though an illit erate man who had graduated from a saloon and the board of alderman he made a good congressman. He nearly killed himself working as an errand boy for his constituents. 'Once he was well to do, but he spent all his money in poli tics, and now his little home is mort gaged. He wants to be postmaster of Chicago. To back up his application he most remarkable petition which was ever presented to a president. It con tains in all 63,497 names. But even this unparalleled petition, which he brought to the capital with him in a trunk that had traveled around the world, been in two steamship disasters md any number of railway accidents ind come out unscathed, is not likely to ilo him as much good as the fact that at ii church fair in Chicago a year or more ago where Baby Ruth and Benny Mc Kee were rivals for a beautiful chair Frank rushed in and conducted Baby Ruth’s campaign with so much energy ihat the chair was voted her as the most popular baby in America. Mrs. Cleve land now has but one candidate for ap pointment, and his name is Frank Law bi. Walter Wellman. Eggs In tUe Nest of the Pelican. I have been informed that the hrowr pelicans steal eggs from one another’! nests in order to fill their complements or at least take possession of those t’nej find lying on the ground and roll then into their nests. Although this does noi seem at all likely for various reasons, 1 cannot dispute it authoritatively, and moreover, there were strong proofs tha such was th* case in many nests that 1 examined in Florida. These nests which were near together, often con tained four eggs, never more, one t( three of which were ready to hatch, thi others being fresh or nearly so. And, again, there would be eggs inthi same nest with young over a week ole or young of ages quite 10 days’ varia tion. But one point was ever observa ble, the young or eggs or both, nevei exceeded four in number, showing, evei if the charge of abduction is proven that the old birds know their limit.—Dr Marion Gibbs in Science.

The house of commons now scruples to adjourn on account of Derby day, but in early times it indulged in a holiday upon occasions which modern readers must consider still more strangely inadequate. Horace Walpole mentions in his mem oirs that in March, 1751, the house adjourned to attend at Drury Lane theater, where Othello was to he acted by a Mr. Delayal and his family. Again in February, 1781, a bill intro duced by Mr. Burke with reference to the civil list was read for the first time, hut the second reading was de ferred to that day fortnight, “because the 21st was to be a feast day and the 22d was the benefit of Mme. Vestris, the fa vorite French dancer at the opera.” Even when in session the house was much given to amuse itself with petty or frivolous incidents, as is shown by some singular entries preserved in the official records. Under date May, 1604, it is noted that a jackdaw flew in at the win dow. This was considered ominous, and apparently it proved a bad omen for the bill in debate, a§ the measure was soon afterward rejected. Again we are told by the veracious state chronicler that in May, 1614, “a dog came into the house, a strange spaniel, mouse colored.” About 170 years later it is recorded that another canine intruder entered the house, taking his seat before the speaker and all the government. Not content to remain a silent spectator, the dog joined in the proceedings by barking loudly. Lord North, then prime minister, was speaking and jocularly appealed to the speaker, saying, “§ir, I am interrupted by a new member.” The dog unabashed did not take the hint, but resumed his harking, where upon the good humored premier kept up the joke, protesting that “the new mem ber had no right to speak twice in the same debate.” In much more recent times almost equally trifling episodes have been known to relieve mightily the tedium of political contention.—Cham bers’ Journal. Full of Peril Are those disorders which, beginning with an apparently trivial inactivity of the kidneys or bladder, terminates in Bright’s disease, di a betes and cystitis. The first two not only in terrupt the functions ot the renal organs, but destroy their structure with as much certainty as tubercular consumption does that of the lungs. Hostetter’s Stomach bitters is an ex cellent diuretic, promoting the activity of these organs without over exciting them, thus averting the deadly maladies in which their inaction is so prone to culminate. The re moval from the blood of impurities which the kidneys should, but do not, when inactive, secrete, is another beneficent effect of this in comparable medicated stimulant and depurent. The Bitters is, in all cases, too, a fine restorat ive of vigor and aid to digestion, remedies malarial disease, and banishes liver complaint and constipation.

That the day be consecrated to the reverent purposes for which it was founded, lptall of ou people, in their homes and in places of public worship, humbly acknowledge our faith in and our dependence upon a Divine Creator; let us implore His favor and encouragement, His blessing upon our people and commonwealth, and His aid in widening the influences of Chrisi tanity. Given at the council chamber, In Augusta, this thirtieth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eigth hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hun dred and seventeeth. Henry B. Cleaves. By the Governor. Nicholas Fessenden, Secretary of State. It is not of much consequence now but the statement of a Portland correspond ent of a Boston paper that at the first municipal election Democrats were shut out from assisting in the count in Repub lican wards and Republicans treated in the same way in Democratic wards, is an error. In only two wards was any such policy adopted—Wards 1 and 3—both under control of Democratic wardens. It is to be presumed that the confi dence of the Hawaiian royalist that Com missioner Blount will restore the de posed queen is misplaced. Mr. Blount is supposed to have been sent to Hawaii to make observations and report to.our gov ernment. Restoring deposed queens would seem to be altogether beyond the limit of his instructions unless private ones have been given him of which the public knowr nothing. Out in Colorado a murderer appears to bo perfectly safe unless a private per son will step up and pay the costs of prosecuting him. Mrs. Barnaby’s son in-law paid tbe costs of Dr. Graves’s first prosecution, and now because he re fuses to do it again it is proposed to let Graves go free, tbe county commissioners taking the ground apparently that mur der is merely a private affair to be set tled by tbe parties immediately affected by it. By and by the result of this policy will be that the parties affected will find it cheaper and surer to inflict punish ment in their own rather way than to pay tbe State for doing it for them, or, as in the Graves case, for not doing it. The complaint made by the Chilian government that our miuister is harbor ing criminals at the United States lega tion building should be taken with much allowance. Mr. Egan |lias not been per sona grata to the Chilian government since the|overtlirow of Balmaceda and it lias made several attempts to get rid of him. His successor has aiready been ap pointed, but it is not at all ^unlikely that the Chilians would like to make his de parture as disagreeable as possible, and so has made this charge. Of course if tlie charge bo true there is nothing to be said in his defenca and he deserves a sharp reprimand from our government. But it is not fair to condemn him until bis side of the case has been heard. New York appears to be a good deal excited over the blackballing of Mr. Theodore Seligmau by certain members of the Union League Club. As Mr. Se ligman is a very proper person it is sur mised that bis rejection was due to race prejudice, be being of Jewish extraction. The newspapers are writing long disser tations on the subject, and one clergy man has made it the theme of a dis course, in which he denounces it in very vigorous language. One would infer from the interest manifested in the mat ter that race prejudice was a novelty tc New York and that this j was the firsl notable manifestation of it. Yet as mat ter of fact hotels at the fashionable New York summer resort have for years ex cluded Jews and they have been sub jected to many other forms of social os tracism. The prejudice against them is exceedingly foolish and reflects anything but credit upon the people w’ho enter tain it. Yet it exists, and no amount of threatening frfem the pulpit or lecturing from the press will make much impres sion upon it. The most effective way per haps to combat it is for the parties affect ed by it to treat it with silent contempt, so long as it amounts to mere social discrimination. The obligations in regard to tariff re form imposed upon the Democratic party by its possession of 4the executive and both branches of Congress were clearly and accurately stated by ex-Sena tor Ingalls in a recant speech in Kansas. “It is bound,” he said “in honor and in good faith to redeem its pledges and give the country a fair trial of free trade, or a tariff for revenue only. This was the voice of the majority. The people are entitled to a decree upon their verdict. For half a century the nation has experi enced the results of the policy of pro tection. Its enemies allege that our growth in wealth and population was in spite of it and not on account of it; that with free trade our progress would have been greater, and our burdens dimin ished. They may be right. They have the power to prove that they are. They can give the generation an object lesson in wages, prices and markets. For 50 years we have had one side .only. Let us have both. |We have had arguments, essays, comparative tables, speeches, eulogy and denunciation. Now let us liavp fnnte rPViA hnrriArc lia.vA Tyaati ro. moved. There are no {obstacles. There is no hostile Senate on which to lay the blame of failure. The executive and leg islative departments are in accord,[and if they neglect the opportunity and omit to try the experiment, history must declare that they were dishonest, insincere or imbecile.” It is said that Gov. Tillman’s South Carolina liquor law lias already run against a couple of awkward snags. The governor has been on a liquor purchas ing expedition, having no difficulty in finding all that he wanted of a quality to delight the South Carolinian heart. The troble is to get it. The governor has only $50,000 to use in buying his liquors, his bottles, jugs and the like, and fitting up the “dispensaries.” Most of that $50,000 will be used in the dispensaries, leaving only a small balance for liquors and packages. This would not be a se rious matter were it not for the reported unwillingness of the liquor dealers to sell to the State on credit, There are a good many people in South Carolina who do not like this law, and maybe the next legislature will not be willing to pay Gov. Tillman’s liquor bill. The other difficulty is the price at which the State’s liquors must be worked off in order to conform with the law. All liquors are to be sold in sealed packages containing from five gallons to half a pint. The packages are to be filled and sealed at the State dispensary at Columbia, and cannot be opened and their contents drunk in the liquor dispensaries. The law gives the State 50 per cent, profit on the liquors sold, and the dispensaries 50 per cent, more profit. Somebody has figured out that these profits added to the original cost of liquors and pack ages will make the price of a half-pint drink of the cheapest corn whiskey 25 cents. But the law forbids the sale of inferior or impure liquors, so that it is going to cost the South Carolinian at least 30 cents to wet his whistle after July 1—which prospect causes vigorous kicking. WORLD’S FAIR NOTES. The Great Show TTil.l Surely be Open May 1st—Some Features of Recent Planning. The World’s Fair will be opened promptly on May 1, and, notwithstanding many reports to the contrary, everything except possibly, a few minor details, will be completed and in readiness for inspec tion by the public. The numerous restaurants and cafes in the World’s Fair buildings will be sup plied from a common kitchen, situated in the south part of the grounds, and measuring 125 by 325 feet. More than $16,000,000 has been paid out thus far by the Exposition Company alone in preparation of the Fair. An expenditure of six or seven millions will be made. Tjeldie, the Norwegian sculptor .'of Minneapolis, will represent Hiawatha bearing Minnehaha in his arms across wild and rushing livers. This is to be in tiie form of a statue for the World’s Fair. The women of the state pay for it. The conception is said to be exception ally fine, and, after being produced in plaster for presentation during the Ex position, it will be cast in bronze and placed at Minnehaha falls in the state park. The ladies have gathered the sum required for the sculpture by means of penny contributions in the schools. Mrs. H. C. Brown of Minneapolis, one of the lady managers for the state, has been particularly active in the enterprise. Minnesota women have also the honor of presenting an especially handsome and unique iiag for the decoration of the Woman’s building. This was in re sponse to a request of the Board of Lady Managers for flags to be used for this purpose. The women of the Minnesota state board advertised for the original designs for a flag, and many were sub mitted. The first prize for the accepted design was awarded Mrs. Edward H. Center. The second prize was given Frank H. Hickman, and the third to Miss Ada White, all of Minnesota. The statue Germania, which is to adorn the imperial portal of a now German Parliament building in Berlin, will be shown'at the World’s Fair. Through the efforts of Herr Wermuth and the consent of Emperor William this master piece of German sculpture will be ex hibited at Chicago. It will bo placed in the Manufactures building, as the crown ing piece of the German section there. When Germania is in place there will be seen represented a typical German mounted on a war horse, with an imperi al flag in tlio right hand and an old Ger man shield with the war eagle in the left. A youthful warrior, with sword and laurels, shows himself to be the re cipient of the gifts of the [goddess of vic tory heralding the glory of victorious battles. These are stationed on either stde of the figure. A fine model of Windsor Castle, built to scale from architectural drawings, will be exhibited at the World’s Fair. It is believed to be |tlie largest in existence and the only one architecturally 'correct. The model covers are area of 45x18 feet and stands, the inside of which is a work of art in saloon decoration. Forty-five precious historicaldoeuments relating to the voyages and discovery of America are to be exhibited at the World’s |Fair. The. Duke of Veragua, the living dessendant of 'Columbus, has agreed to lend them. The forty-five papers form almost a history of Colum bus’ career as discoverer. In the list is the original commission given to Colum bus by Ferdinand and Isabella lupon his departure for the first voyage. It is dated Granada, April 30. 1492 in [it he is appointed grand admiral of the ocean seas, vice-king and governor general of all the lands he should discover. Every document (in the collection is either written by Columbus or signed by Ferdi nand or Isabella. Excellent progress is being made in preparation of the official catalogue of the exhibits at the Exposition. The De partment of Publicity and Promotion has in charge the collection and preparation of the data for this voluminous publica tion, and is pushing the work with great energy. No previous world’s fair has furnished a complete catalogue upon the opening day. The official catalogue of the World’s Columbian Exposition will be on sale on May 1, and it will be com C foi* no +l.n -_ general public are concerned. A few changes, such, for example, as the omis sion of exhibits withdrawn at the last moment, will of course be necessary, and must be made in later editions. The North German Lloyd Steamship, Company is preparing an elaborate ex-' hibit for the World’s Fair. It will pre sent a pavilion there, in the middle of which will be placed a large map of the world, on which the daily positions of all the steamers on the various lines of that company will be represented by miniature steamers that will be mover! from day to day to correspond with the movements of the ships of the company all over the world. Around this large map will be placed the six models of the newest North German Lloyd steamers and a model of a new twin screw steamer now building for the line between Brem en and China. Bretros Effendi Helweh, the famous oriental decorator, has arrived in Chica go from Paris with forty large boxes, containing the parts of a wonderful work which is to be displayed at the World’s Fair. It is to represent the luxurious splendor of a room of an eastern sultan. It is made of 2,000,000 pieces of mosaic, and took ten years of Effendi Helweh’s life to make it. It is in the form of a kiosk, and the interior is made up of rich eastern designs and legends, inlaid with mother of pearl and rich woods. When reconstructed the kiosk will be placed in the Tunisean part of the French section. Effendi Helweh brings letters from Car not,Eiffel, the late Jules Ferry and other distinguished Frenchmen. He is about forty-eight years old, and is considered the greatest living oriental designer and decorator. Italy, which for a long time declined to participate in the World’s Fair, has made an appropriation of 277,500 lire, or about $55,500, for its representation. The Italian Chamber of Commerce and other financial interests have also sup plied funds with liberality. Visitors to the World’s Fair will have the opportunity of going to the roof of the Manufactures building—the largest in the world—and enjoying there a half mile promenade, Four elevators, with a capacity of 600 an hour, will take the people to a great platform, 200 feet above the iloor, from which a magnificent bird’s-eye view will be afforded of the interior of the mammoth building with its acres of exhibits beneath. From the platform the visitors will pass to the promenade on the roof where an upsur- passed birds’s-eve view of the entire grounds and buildings will be unfolded. The governor and his staff occupying a special Pullman! train will leave Port land for the World’s Fair on the morn ing of May 20, going by way of Fabyan’s and Niagara Falls. The executive coun cil and their ladies will go on the same train, occupying a separate car. SKODA’S! Baby Eider, was a terrible Bufferer from Eczema of Scalp and Face.

BASE BALL. Fortlauds All Ready to Open the Season Tomorrow. Some of tlie Portland players arrived in town last night and the remainder will be here today in readiness to open the season tomorrow (Fast Bay), on the Bearing grounds, with the Bowdoins. The Portlands will be the first of the New England League clubs to put a complete team of players on the diamond this spring. This early start will do the club no harm, if the players, especially the new ones, do not over-exert them selves in their effort to create a favorable impression with the spectators, for this climate is not conducive to hard base ball work in April. If the weather is propitious, there should be an interesting game, as the college boys have been practicing all winter in the cage and gymnasium. The following letter from Lowell would indicate that that city will bo wel represented: “The outlook for a suc cessful season of base ball on the part of the new Lowell club of tlie New Eng and League is encouraging. The club will be under tlie joint control of ex Umpire Mahoney and ex-Manager Mc Gunnigle of the Brocktons. They are negotiating with the Horse Railway Company with the hope of securing aid in getting grounds in Bracut, a short dis tance from the city. The directors of the company view the scheme in a favor able light. The proposed location is but a few minutes ride on the electric cars from the city. Manager Leonard, formerly of the Portlands, is anxious to manage the Lowells.” Notes. Charles Farrell, of last year’s Man chesters, will play in the Southern League. Umpire McGuire of last year’s New England League, will probably be re-ap pointed. Flynn of last year’s Portlands, has signed to catch for the Southbrige,Mass., club. It is reported that Shannon of last sea son’s Brocktons, and Shea, the thiid baseman of the same club, will sign with the Providence club under Burn ham, the old Portland manager. The Fall River Base Ball Company of this league, will be organized under the laws of Maine, with a capital stock of $2500, and all hut $400 of this amount _ has been subscribed for. Work was be gun Monday on the new grounds. A new grand stand to accommodate 1000 people, is in process of construction. The local W M. C. Association is lending ma terial aid to the F'all Rivers. After all, Frank Leonard may manage the Lewistons. The new pitching rules may affect left-handed pitchers more than right handers. The Boston- management must have lost at least $3000 on account of the storm on Fast Day. That was the sec ond time that snow had cut such a cap er in Boston on that day with the ball games. That Swede Who Stole the Watch. The Lewiston Journal says: “The Portland papers say that the Portland police are looking -for a man named Anderson, a Swede, who is suspected of stealing some clothes and a gold watch. The Auburn and Lewiston police are wondering whether he is the Swede who went under that name here a year ago, and who caused the police and others a great amount of trouble. it was sup posed that all arrangements were made at his departure for a return to Sweden, but he may have returned or he may never have gone there. The last the folks in Auburn heard about him ho was in New York.” Union Station Notes. A large number of French-Canadians and Nova Scotians en route to Boston, passed through here on a special train consisting of four passenger cars and a brg,age car over the Boston Maine yes terday afternoon. The Union Station was alive with a large gang of river drivers from the Provinces yesterday, who were hound for Stewartstown, over the mountain di vision of the Maine Central. The fountains on the lawn in front of the Union Station have been newly painted. Assignee’s prices on Carpets, Rugs and Draperies at Atkinson’s. Funeral of Charles B. Fuller. The funeral of Charles B. Fuller took place yesterday afternoon from the resi dence of his brother, Mr. A. S. Fuller, oil Elm street. There was a large at tendance, including representatives of the Society of Natural History and the Mechanic Association. There were many floral tributes from personal friends. The Natural History Society sent a handj some wreath of roses. The services were conducted by Rev. Dr. E. C. Bolles and Rev. Dr. Dalton. L The burial was in Evergreen cemetery. Real Estate Transfers.

The beautiful spectacle of ‘‘Ouo Day” was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience that assembled iu City Hall last night. But the audiences thus far have not been at all what they should be in order to reimburse the managers for their great outlay of time, money and patience. The various dances were all warmly applaud ed. Little Hiss Stenbon received a beaut if il bouquet from friends. The song and dance, “Love Among the Roses,” bv little Miss Cushie Snow and Master Eddie Dean and the skirt dance by Miss Mattie Snow were encored most emphatically. Miss Knight sang “One Day” charming ly. There were two new dances intro duced last evening. They were the Swiss Harvest dance and Butterfly dance. The Swiss Harvest dance should bo seen to be fully appreciated. The dancers chaperoned by Mrs. E. C. Swett and Miss Amelia S. Russell, were Misses Annie Swett, Daisy Colby, Edith Meg quier, Ernestine Leavitt, Gertrude Kil born, Cornelia Megquier, Elsie Gilson, Evangeline Morton, Messrs. Warren, Plummer, Whipple, Harmon, Griffith, Josselyn, Moody, Barker. The peas ants enter in couples carrying scythes and rakes festooned with many colored ribbons. Tho dresses in this dance are true to the picturesque mode of that mountainous country; the young girls wearing red with black velvet bodices, white gamps and white peasant caps; the men appearing in black velvet coats and knee breeches, parti colored vests and Swiss hats with silver buckles. The naivete and grace with which they presented the Tyrolean dance won much applause. Butterflies flash and frolic in the bright sunlight of the noon. Airy, fairy butterflies were those who were the par ticipants of this dance in their mazy cos tumes of yellow and black with loose scans oi tne same, ancl very aeitly dia they executed those steps and move ments which seeemed to combine the shawl and saraband dances finally form ing themselves into a huge butterfly with two tiny misses as eyes. Miss Ethel Pinkham was a most graceful and ac complished little leader. The chaperones were Mrs. H. L. Hamilton and Mrs. E. A. Hall. Be sure and get seats at Stockbridges at once. MUSIC AND DRAMA. t* Fanclion. East Day evening Miss Katherine Bob er, so popular with Portland Theatre pa trons, will appear as Fanchon in the drama of that name. There will be no afternoon performance as was at first intended. Miss Bober has been seen here in the role, and it is one of her best assumptions. Among those who will support the little lady are Iola Pomroy, Martha Conway, Chas. Burnham, Camer on Clements and .Tames Hall. Gilmore’s Band. The matinee and evening concerts to be given by Gilmore’s great band, D. W. Beeves, leader, at City Hall, April 26th, shall crowd the house. One of the con certs will be complimentary to Mr. Ira C. Stockbridge, and that fact alone should draw out the public en masse. Tickets are now on sale at Stockbridge’s. The Hustler. An exchange speaking of the farce comedy, “The Hustler,” to be seen at Portland Theatre tonight, says: One great thing in favor of this rol licking play is the manner in which the performance moves along. Everything goes with snap and vigor and not a mo ment’s time is wasted. The amusing scenes and incidents and snecialties fol low each other in rapid succession and without conflicting with each other. The musical portion of the production is very interesting, the songs—solos and concerted pieces—being of the latest compositions and j very artistically rendered. Tlie March of the Hussars, the serpentine dance and the various other specialties are all that the most fastidious could ask for. For the laugh of a life time,.go and see “The Hustler,” and if George F. Marion. Gus Mills, Harry Watson, John Gilroy, Barney Reilly, Sadie Kirby and the rest of tlie company don’t convulse you with laughter, then we will miss our guess. Scliubert Kecital. Tlie Euterpe Club had a pleasant Schubert recital yesterday forenoon at the residence of Mr. John L. Best, No. 52 Spring street. The programme was as follows: Essay on tlie Life of Schubert. Mary G. Jordan. Piano Solo—Impromptu, op. No. 2. Elvira J. Caswell. Violin Solo—Ave Maria. Ella IV. Thurston. Piano Solo—Impromptu, op. 90, No. 4..., Lillian H. Woodside. Song—Serenade. Ella Frances Lord.

Williams’ Manufacturing Company The Williams Manufacturing Company is the name of a now corporation recent ly organized in this city. The officers are as follows: President -William L. Freese. Treasurer and General Manager—II. f, wil liams. The company will carry on a general wood-working business, and have estab lished a lumber yard and planing mill on Kennebec street. RAILROAD MATTERS. Quantities of World s Fair Exhibits Mov ing West. The last World’s Fair train bearing the Italian exhibits left the Grand Trunk yards in this city at 1.20 p. m. yesterday. These trains are timed for 75 hours be tween Portland a ,d Chicago, but one of them has made the distance in fifty hours. This is quick time for a freight. An excursion of about 400 French-Ca nadians left Lewiston and Biddeford yes terday on a Grand Trunk special for Quebec. The Maine exhibits are stil going West Monday, F. O. Bailey Co. sent a car load of carriages to Chicago, over the Grand Trunk, aud last evening a car load of screens from the Burrowes factory left by the same route. Maine Genealogical Society. The regular quarterly meeting of this society will be held this evening, at 7.30 o’clock, at the rooms of the society in Baxter Hall. It is proposed that the so ciety print a volume containing full ab stracts of the Liucoln county wills as re corded at Wiscasset. Cumberland and Lincoln counties were set off from York county at the same time, 1700, but the probate records of Cumberland county were all destroyed by the fire of 1866. It is hoped that sufficient encouragement may be given to the undertaking to ena ble the society to carry out its plan and place the Lincoln wills beyond danger of loss. All interested are invited to attend the meeting. Canvassing the Returns for Mayor. The Board of Aldermen met at 3 p. m. yesterday to canvass the official returns for Mayor. All present. Alderman Guptill in the chair. The returns as canvassed did not differ from those pub lislied in yesterday’s Press, showing Mr. Baxter was elected Mayor by 319 majority over all, and Chairman Guptill declared Mr. Baxter elected. Mr. Baxter has not yet decided on the dav for bis i nnnrrui’otiAn The City Marslialship. These have been named as candidates for City Marshal: Hon. Clark Barker, ex-postmaster; ex-Marshals Higlit, Green and Hawkes, ex-Deputy Marshal Freeman Merrill, Colonel Reuel T. Mc Lellan, Major Hartnett an 1 Charles Jew ell. Ex-Deputy Marshal Sterling is a candidate for his old berth. A Picture of Coot Moody. An oil painting of Coot Moody, who was so familiar a figure on Portland streets forty years ago, is on exhibition in the window of Mr. Philip F. Turner’s office on exchange street. Materials For the Dinner. The materials for dinner should be the best obtainable, the meat good and the vegetables fresh. The cooking should be carefully and properly done. Indi gestible things, or those which disagree with the individual, should be eschewed. After the meal, the diner should rest or have some light occupation for an hour, or, still better, two. He should neither undertake active physical exercise—not even moderately rapid walking—nor Should he study, think over business or occupy his mind seriously in any way.— Boston Courier.

SOME ODD STOREIS. Singular Narrative of a Vessel Wrecked In a Calm-—Bottom Bp In Midocean—How Two Men Hewed Their Way to Freedom. Four Days of Terror. [Copyright, 1893, by American Press Assooia, tion.i Captain James Morgan, a weatherbeaten English skipper, tells a story of the stran gest shipwreck on record. It occurred in January of the year 187-, at which time he was making a return cruise to England from Melbourne, Ms vessel being the Nancy Dams of Liverpool. The voyage had been singularly unevent ful until the region of calms was struck off the northeast coast of Brazil. After laying for a day and a rnght without a breath of wind to flutter the sails the vessel sudden ly began to behave in a most peculiar and alarming manner, pitching and rolling vio lently, the sails flapping and the timbers creaking in every joint. Very naturally, this wonderful conduct of the vessel beneath a calm sky created the greatest excitement among the crew, two or three of whom wero utterly paralyzed with terror. Captain [Morgan discovered that while there was still no wind the sea was boiling and tossing all around them, and he immediately divined the commotion was caused by the eruption of a submarine volcano. Fearing the worst, Captain Morgan hur ried below to secure some valuables. Mark Brothers, his first mate, followed at his heels, and barely had they reached the cabin when the vessel gave a fearful roll and turned bottom up, being tipped com pletely over. Bruised, dazed and bewildered, the cap tain and the mateifound themselves-ln utter darkness, standing in water that was up to their knees. They called to each other, and the sound of their voices appalled them. “What has happened, Brothers?” asked the stunned skipper, “I think she has turned over, sir,” replied the mate. “And we ara imprisoned in the cabin!” groaned the captain. “Then we arc doomed men!” Their situation indeed seemed boneless. but the mate was a man who nerver gave up hope while he breathed. “We must find an ax, sir, and cut our way out,” ho said. Luckily he knew where to place his hand on the required aj£. Then it was necessary for Brothers to mount on the captain’s shoulders and unbolt the hatchway in the floor, after which he drew himself through with the end of a rope in his hand, which cord he made secure. By the aid of this the captain climbed up and joined tbo mate, and they soon began their fearful task of cutting through the heavy timbers. The vessel was still rolling violently, which made their work all the more diffi cult. Luckily for them, the captain had some matches in a waterproof case, and one of these was lighted occasionally to show them where to deliver their blows and what progress they were making. Marking out a plaee large enough to ad mit the passage of a man, they chipped at it as evenly as possible in that dense and terrible darkness, working with the energy of madmen, for they felt sure the vessel was sinking steadily, with the water rising slowly and surely to drown them like rats in a trap. After a time the Nancy Dane ceased roll ing, and then they were able to make bet ter progress. They talked but little, for their hearts were too full of horror and dread. After a time Captain Morgan crept to the hatchway and struck a match, holding it so he could look down. A hoarse cry broke from his dry lips, and the match fluttered from his shaking fingers, being extin guished instantly. “What is It?” asked Brothers. “She’s going down!” gurgled the skipper “The cabin is almost full of water.! Work, man; work, for God’s sake!” Panting and perspiring, they took turns at the ax, and the minutes seemed hours. To the two wretched men it seemed they had been imwigened for days in that hor rible place. The air seemed foul and stag nant, and they breathed with the greatest difficulty. At last they perceived by the sound of their blows that they were almost through. Knowing t-he-dangev of a sudden outpour ing of the confined air which helped support the vessel, they proceeded with great care. Suddenly, as Brothers was plying the ax, the bjade cut through. Instantly the im prisoned air began to whistle through the opening, and the vessel settled swiftly, “Break through! Break through!’* shout ed the captain. “Use all your strength!” With a f6w well directed blows the mate made the orifice large enough for the pas sage of a man, and he forced the skipper to firawl -fi pprt; 'T'Vipti pnnt.snn rf‘9r>’hni;l back a helping hand, and Brothers was pulled out with the rising water rushing Up around him. They crept up te the keel, and soon the natural buoyancy of the timber stopped the vessel from sinking farther. Not a sign of any of the crPw did they see, and they were forced to the conclusion that ail but them selves had perished. For four terrible days and nights they remained perched oj» the curved surface of the wreck, tasting neither food nor drink, drifting at the mercy of the seas. By day the brazen equatorial sun poured its fierce rays ou their defenseless heads, and the shimmering surface of the pulseless ocean reflected the heat until their faces were blistered and their eyeballs seared. By bight the twinkling stars in the limitless dome of the violet sky seemed to mock at their misery. It may be imagined with what delirious joy they hailed the sight of a sail, and they sank exhausted when they were lifted to the deck of the Boston schooner Flora Cut ting. _ He Was a Physiognomist. Just after the train crossed the dividing line between Colorado and New Mexico a blue eyed, cadaverous, thin whiskered man strolled down the aisle and deposited him self in the spare end of the seat by my side, giving me a steady st are as he sat down and continuing to watch me when he was fairly settled. At length he spoke. “I beg your pardon, sir,” he observed, “but I am a physiognomist. I am able to correctly estimate a man’s character by the contour of his countenance. It is a peculiar faculty and one of boundless value to me, for I can tell exactly who to trust and who to shun. I instantly detect by a man’s looks whether he is an honorablo citizen or a ras cal. I can even tell what portion of the country a ns live ef the United States was born and reared in.” I confessed my astonishment at the phys iognomist’s wonderful power, and he warmly continued: “It is remarkable. Now, you, for instance, are a southern man, bom and bred in the southern states, possessing a passionate devotion to your section of the Union, such a devotion as led thousands of your older countrymen to bear arms and lay down their lives for what they considered a just cause. Am I not right?” “I am sorry to disappoint you,” I smiled, “but you are slightly mistaken this time. I was born and reared in the state of Maine. ana I do not believe, all told, I have ever spent two years south of Mason and Dixon’s line.” He looked astounded and almost incredu lous. In fact, he gave me a reproachful glance, as if I were somehow to blame for his error. “It is most unaccountable!” be exclaimed. “I never made such a mistake before.” Then he relapsed into silence and fell to studying the man in the seat across the aisle—a dignified person in black, who had a decidedly respectable and solemn appear ance. After a time the physiognomist leaned toward me and cautiously observed: “See this fellow across here? He looks like a parson, but I know better than to take him for anything of the kind. He’s a card sharp, a gambler, a desperado. Look at those long white fingers! Their every motion proclaims the man a gambler. Ten to one he’s got a pair of guns where he can draw and shoot in a moment.” Just then, seeing us regarding him, the man in black fumbled in a little satchel by his side and leaned across the aisle, holding out a paper pamphlet as he said: “I am a humble servant of the Lord seek ing the salvation of lost souls. I have pre pared a little tract here on ‘The Need of Pro mulgating the Gospel Among the Heathen.’ I sell them for 10 cents a copy. How many copies will you take?” My companion didn’t take any, but he lookod disgusted with himself and all the world for nearly 30 minutes. Just ahead of us sat two men vigorously discussing polities. One was a big, broad shouldered fellow with a grufl! voice and savage manner, while the other was a little individual whose speech and manner seem ed decidedly effeminate. When he could restrain himself no long er, the man at my elbow leaned toward me again, speaking guardedly: “See this little chap ahead? He gives me weariness. Why, he doesn’t know as much about politics as a mule knows about cube root. His talk is all a bluff. I’ll bet two to one he is uo he at all, but is a woman in dis guise. I’ll prove it too. Just see him go up in the air.” Then he leaned forward and shouted “Rats!” almost in the very ear of the little chap. He was not disappointed about see ing the small man go up in the air, for that individual leaped and turned square about, thrusting the muzzle of a heavy revolver under the physiognomist’s nose. “Were you referring to my remark con vuo aawu. uu TTW1I Ulauiuv 111 quired the effeminate little fellow. “If so, I demand an apology. I am Judge Bur gess of Tombstone, Arizona.” I never Saw a man wilt quicker than that character reader. Ho protested his utter ignorance of the political discussion and asked a thousand pardons. The small man reluctantly put up his revolver and turned to resume the argument concerning the tariff. After this I tried to catch the eye of the physiognomist, but he was intently inter ested in gazing at the car ventilators. In about 10 minutes he murmured: “I trust you will excuse me. I am going out on the platform, where I can have plenty of room to kick myself. My only regret is that I do not possess as many feet as a cen tiped, so I might do a satisfactory job.” Then he arose and rambled sadly away. Rebuked by a Pirate. That rare old bdok called “The Pirates’ Own,” of which but two or three soiled and tattered copies are in existence, republica tion being prohibited on account of the bloody and questionable nature of its text, gives an interesting anecdote of Captain Lewis, the desperate freebooter who was murdered in his cabin by bis own men. Once during his wild career Lewis cap tured a vessel that made but a feeble at tempt to escape, laying to as soon as the pirate fired a gun. Having secured the prize thus easily, Lewis was angered rather than appeased, and when he faced the trembling captain of the captured craft the pirate chief cried: “Ho, yon knave! You miserable coward! You are a dog, for yon have betrayed the trust reposed in you by the owners of that vessell You shall be punished!” And when die frightened man cringed and begged Lewis added: “You deserve punishment, for you com manded the faster sailer, and you might have escaped had you tried.” Then he fell upon the terrified captain, beating him with a rope’s end and chasing him about the deck. Hoping to pacify the enraged buccaneer, the master of the captured vessel told him he had been out trading several months and had on board a large sum of money, which was hidden, but which he wouid bring out and deliver at once. Instead of having the expected effect, this increased Lewis’ anger and disgust for the tuan, “Rv TtlT soul Tnn nrp a rv,l+.wvinl” v-na^nA the pirate. “Your punishment shall be doubled!” Then he bad the craven captain tied up and lashed until he fainted with pain. Hav ing secured the money, Lewis allowed the vessel to depart, advising tho captain when he reached port to forever remain on shore, where he could conceal himself from dan ger beneath the petticoats of his wife. William G. Patten. When Oyster. Were Used nor Fuel. The “raising” of ore and the manufac ture of iron therefrom was the leading industry of south Jersey duringthe early part of this century. Charcoal was the fuel used and coalings were common throughout the “Pines.” An active coal ing is now seldom seen. Shells were hauled by wagon or rowed and poled by scow from the seashore for a flux, the oyster then being of more value for that purpose than for food. Better oysters could be picked from those shell heaps than can be bought at the stands today. In a memorandum kept by the “mas ter ore raiser” for one of the largest fur naces there are many interesting notices of large quantities of clams and rum bought and sold, but the oyster is never mentioned. These account books were decorated with the pictures of soldiers and warships, showing well the prevail ing thought of those days.—John Gif ford in Popular Science Monthly. Look to Your Necktie. A well dressed man needs to give at tention to three details of his dress—his hat, his necktie and his shoes. He ought to he particular about his gloves too. The necktie is the all important. A new philosopher of clothes insists that every work of art demands a point of rest—a pivotal spot from which all the rest of the composition derives its significance. That point of rest he locates in the neck tie. It is poor economy, this philosopher claims, to wear anything but the best neckties, no matter how expensive these may be. If it is cheap and shabby the entire wardrobe takes on that aspect. If it is rich and carefully disposed, even if the other garments are mediocre, it gives the impression of care and richness. So look to your necktie, Horatio.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. WIT AND WISDOM. Do Understood# doin with knowledge books?

A cold of unusual seventy developed into a difficulty decidedly catarrhal in all its character istics, threatening a return of my old ehtonic malady, catarrh.

Miss Huckstep [so artlessly]—Why, no mamma! Don’t you irecollect? What George said was that Mr. Leezer told him he was feel ing pretty rocky.—Chicago Tribune. O, this dull, depressing headache, That W'on't wear off; This hawking and this splitting, i,, And this hacking cough. I’ve lost my sense of smelling, And taste’s going, too. I know1 catarrh’s what ails me, But—what shall I do? My hacking and my hawking Keeps up a steady din; I’m haunted by the fear that Consumption may set in, I feel supremely wretched; No wonder I’m blue, I know my health’s failing, But—what can I do? Do? I’ll tell you what to do, my friend, if you’ll lend me your ear a minute. Go down to the drug store and buy Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, and take it according to directions given, and you’ll soon find that this miserable headache is a thing of the past; the hacking, hawking and spitting, so disagreeable to others as well as yourself, will come to an end, and in a short tune you will feel like a new man.

Work on the sewer contract began yes terday, the portion of Forest avenue from William stieet to Woodfords Corner be ing the first taken. ACCUSED OF ARSON. William C. West A rrested at Baldwin and Brought to Portland. Monday, a warrant was sworn out in this city against William C. West of West Baldwin, charging him with the crime of arson. The alleged crime was committed in the night time, and if found guilty the punishment would be a sentence to state prison for life for West. The circumstances of this case are as follows: West is a young man of about 25 years of age, and unmarried. He was formerly a resident of Hollis, going from there to West Baldwin not long ago. A short time ago West set up in business in West Baldwin as a country store keeper, carrying a fair stock of the goods in demand there. He interested himself somewhat in politics also, and when Mr. Cleveland was elected entered the field as a competitor for the West Baldwin post office. A very bitter con test soon developed between him and George G. Dow, another local Democrat1 who aspired to the office. A caucus of the Democrats within the sphere of in fluence of the post office, gave the plum to Dow by a majority of four votes. West showed himself desperately in earn est to get the office, however, and with his followers, tried tojsecure the endorse ment of the Democratic office distribu tors in spite of the decree of the caucus. In this they did not succeed, however, and this failure may explain his alleged act. West’s store was situated on the main street in West Baldwin, the upper story being used as a dwelling house and oc cupied by the family of David A. Rowe. About midnight, Wednesday of last week, Rowe was awakened by smoke, and soon discovered that the store be neath him was on fire. He had just time to awaken his family and get them out of the house. They did not save any furniture. The entire building was con _3- --r- 1_1,_J_-__x. the citizens of the village the fire was prevented from spreading. The fire caught in West’s portion of the building, and from certain actions he was at once suspected of setting it. In due time the preper legal proceedings were taken which have resulted in West’s arrest. He was taken by Deputy Sheriff Irving J. Chase, without resistance, and brought to this city on the train arriving at 8 p. m., and was confined in the county jail. He told the officer he had just as lieve come as not. PERSONAL. Hon.

Interesting Exercises at Chestnut Street Church in the Evening, Yesterday afternoon, about five o’clock, tlie members of the Methodist Social Union composed of the members of the Methodist churches in this city, gathered in the spacious par lors of the Preble House to pay their re spects to Bishop Ninde, the presiding officer of the conference which has just finished its sessions at Westbrook. At least one hundred and fifty ladies and gentlemen were present. After an hour of social converse the party proceeded to the dining hall where an excellent dinner was enjoyed, given in honor of Bishop Ninde. Hon. H. H. Shaw, president of the Union, presided. These were the ladies and gentlemen present: H. H. Shaw and wife, G. It. Palmer and wife, A. S. Ladd and wife, A. Dalton and wife, M. S. Hughes and wife, J. A. Locke and wife, I. Luce and wife, Geo. H. Lord and wife, C. H. Baker and wife, A.P. Leighton and wife, E. T. Burrowes and wife, H. Hewitt and wife, H. A. Hallett and wife, Mrs. Emery Smart, J. W. Davis and wife, N. S. Fernald and wife, F.

After the dinner there were no formal speeches and the party adjourned to Chestnut Street church where many welcomed Bishop bfinde. The platform was filled with the presiding elders and ministers from out of town. The congregation joined in singing “Blest be the tie that binds,” and Rev. Mr. Lindsay offered prayer. The pastor introduced Hon. H. H. Shaw, president of the Methodist Social Union, who spoke of the need of cultiva ting the social qualities in the Methodist society, and in his turn introduced Bishop Ninde. The bishop made a very brief address, speaking of his pleasure in meeting the friends here, and also ex pressing his delight in seeing such a beautiful and picturesque city. He had a few words to say about prohibition. He belonged to the largest prohibition society in the world—the Methodist church. He has resided for eight years in Topeka, Kansas, a city which is so en tirely a prohibition city that his children have never seen a saloon—don’t know what a saloon is. Maine and Kansas are sister states in the temperance cause. He referred to the Methodist church as the church of the masses; the great middle class is largely in the hands of that church, and he hoped no usher or pew holder would ever stand between the poor man and salvation. Every well-to do church in a city ought to have a mis sion. The address abounded in happy inci dents, and the bishop was frequently ap plauded. After singing the doxology the benedic tion was pronounced by the bishop and the audience adjourned to the' vestry where Bishop Ninde held an informal re ception. Funeral of Mr. Johu Tobin. The funeral of Mr. John Tobin, an old resident of this city, took place yester day morning at 9 o’clock from St. Domi nick’s church where a requiem high mass was said by Rev. E. F. Hurley. The funeral was largely attended by friends from Cape Elizabeth and this city. There were many floral tributes .from the many friends of the deceased. The pall bearers were James E. Owen, Thos. J. Magner, James Tobin, and D. Frank Magner. The remains will be buried in Calvary Ceme tery. Bargains in Carpetings at Atkinson’s.

It has kept my head feeling badly with a Sense of fullness and ringing in the ears. Instead of discharge from the nose, as many have, it has aeted so that either one or the other of my nostrils has been tightly closed up so that I Could Not Breathe through It, nor would blowing the noso clear it I tried several catarrh cures and different treat ments, hut failed to get any relief. At last reading of permanent caret by Hood's Sar saparilla I determined to give It a fair honest trial. I have now finished four bottles and am satisfied it lias effected a cure, for the catarrh no longer troubles me a particle, and I feel better in every way than I have for years.

Their lives have been spent with nature. Born to good health, as the saying goes, they keep it. Think how they live, eat, sleep, travel about, exposed to climatic changes, pois onous night airs, damp sleeping places, food half cooked, and eaten with utter disregard of all common rules of health. Yet, look at them! Pictures of health. Chronic Rheumatism? Never. Mal aria and Chills? Very rarely. Indiges tion? Occasional symptoms perhaps, but Chronic Dyspepsia, utterly unheard of. While any of the numerous afflic tions of the liver, kidneys or bladder, so frequently found among the whites, is rarely heard of among the Indians. Why is it? For centuries these children of nature have studied her ways. For centuries they have known where to look in the forest and field for a certain cure for the ills which arise from the disobed ience of nature’s laws. At the first sign, the first symptoms of Bickness, they re sort to their “Sagwa”—the most potent, remedial combination of roots and herbs known to the Indian or any other race. A combination so valuable that the learned professor of Physiological Chemistry at Yale college commended it, and could offer no suggestions.
