The housj es were old and inhabited by the poorest class. The fire spread with the utmost rapidity and baffled all attempts of the firemen to subdue It. A number of bed ridden persons and children were res cued after the greatest exertion. Many hair-breadth escapes were made. Scarce ly any property was saved. The condi tion of the sufferers is deplorable and measures are being taken to relieve them. GOLD I A CART. The Sight of It Only Hurried the Run on a Chicago Bank. BUSINESS TROUBLES REPORTED FROM MANY PLACES. News of a New York Bank’s Troubles Followed by Tidings of a Failed Texas Bank—Business Concerns Go Under Various Difficulties Combined with the Stringency of the Money Market Too Much for Them to Stand Up Against. Chicago, June 5.—The State bank of commerce experienced a heavy run this afternoon. It started just before noon. The news spread like wildfire, and with in half an hour the lobby was filled with an excited crowd of men and women, who tore and crushed in order to get within the glass doors. At 12.30 an iron barred express wagon containing several bags of gold was hurridly driven up to the building and the money carried in by watchmen and placed upon the counters. This, however, did not allay the appre hensions of those outside, and for a while the crush was intensified. The bank offi cials did not seem to be alarmed. The officials and directors are all wealthy Germans. Herman F^lsenthen is president, and Joseph Gross vice presi dent. The bank has a capital of $500,000. Its last repot t made to the state auditor on May 10 showed deposits of $1,200,000. surplus and undivided profits of $25,600 against which it had about $300,000 m cash, the balance being covered by loans and discounts, overdrafts and bonds.

HANDICAPPED BY A RUN. How a Groundless Scare Ended Tn a Beal Difficulty. Sandusky, June ,5.—The doors of the Sandusky savings bank company which closed Satnrdav nitrfit nnon wTiac waa generally supposed to be one of the soundest and safest institutions of the city, were not opened this morning but displayed the following announcement: “Owing to inability to realize upon as sets at this time this bank has been com pelled to assign. All depositors will be paid in full.” Intelligence of the assignment rapidly spread throughout the city and quickly a large crowd assembled in front of the banking house. The present trouble is ascribable di rectly to the heavy, though groundless run that was made on the bank about ten weeks ago and which it withstood successfully at that time, paying out up ward of $60,000 within two days, when the run ceased as suddenly as it had be gun. This drain upon its immediately available resources handicapped the bank seriously, although it has been do ing as much or more business since the flurry than before such confidence did the ^people, especially the business community, have in its stability. Some heavy demands upon it during the clos ing days of last week, however, pre cipitated the crisis this time. Mast Go Into Liquidation. New York, June 6.—The Shoe and Leather National Bank gave notice to day that it will not clear for the Canal street bank after tomorrow. This will make it necessary for the Canal street bank to go into liquidation. Its deposits amount to about $460,000. Bank Examiner in Charge. Washington, June 6.—Comptroller Eckels was informed today that the Merchants’ National bank Fort Worth, Tex., with a capital of $250,000 had failed. The bank was closed on an order from the directors and Bank Examiner Stone placed in charge. The Result of an Attachment. Chicago, June 5.—E. A. Armstrong Co. assigned this morning. The assets are $275,000: liabilities $105,000. The firm for 20 years has manufactured uni forms, regalia, society and church goods ax* imo vauj auu juouuiu ajio assignment was precipitated by attachment in a suit for $5,000 for a merchandise claim. In the absence of the firm Saturday the sheriff took possession of store and held it until this morning when the attach ment was satisfied. The news of the filing of the suit got abroad and attach ments were hastened from all the credi tors. To avoid the contingency and save themselves and all their creditors they made a valuntary assignment. Mr. Arm strong said the cause of the trouble was due to the drawing out.of more raonny than they anticipated in the building of a new factory at 92d street and the Grand Trunk road. Couldn’t Realize on Their Goods. Troy, N. Y., June 5.—The failure of the Fort Ann Woolen Company of Fort Ann, Washington county, was announced this morning. The property of the company is attached and the mills have been shut down by the sheriff. Inability to realize on their goods in New York, and the general stringency of the money market, are given as the causes of the failure. A Grain Company in the Idst. Kansas City, June 5.—The Kansas Grain Company, a big commission bouse with branches all over Kansas, has failed A (despatch from Hutchinson, Kansas, says the suspension of the grain company was due to the inability of the company to extend its paper in Kansas City. The assets are placed at $150,000: liabiities $102,000. The Doors Closed. Chicago, June 5.—Meadow, Croft Bros. Co., private bankers, closed their doors this morning. An appro priate estimate places their liabilities at $250,000; assets $460,000. Sandusky Savings Bank Assigns. Sandusky, O., June 5.—The Sandusky Savings Bank assigned today. Its avail able assets are $300,000; liabilities, $205, ooc. _ Gold From Chicago. Chicago, June 6.—For the first time in many months the government gold reserve in the Chicago gulf-treasury has been drawn on to meet the gold ship ments from the east to Europe. A con signment of §1,000,000 was dispatched. There is a balance of more than $7,000, 000 in the sub-treasury in government funds and this is beipg added to daily by many Chicago banks. WAS IT KIDD OR ADAMS? Biddeford All Stirred Up Over a Report |of Burled Tresure.H jc. g~3 Biddefobd, June 5.—The lower Bid deford woods were full of men and boys Sunday looking for Capt. Kidd’s treas ure box says the Journal. Several days ago, a boy named John Potts discovered in a swamp in the woods a metal box. The box was sunk deep in the mire and the boy could lift it, Ex-Marshal Tar box and several reporters have since been among those looking for this treas ure box, for of course it was at once con cluded that it contained gold. Saturday Potts piloted ex-Marshal Tarbox to the box. He had marked the place with stones and found these stones readily. A crow-bar, shovel and pick had been pro vided and they began digging for the box. They removed the stones which marked the place, punched down through the mire with the bar and were rewarded with the sound of its coming in contact with some metallic substance. It was deep down and they could not make much progress digging. The mire caved in upon the hole as fast as they cleared it away and the. hole filled up with water. They struck a big rock which prevented them from enlarging the hole as much as necessary and it was then that they quit work until they could get better tools for the work. But Potts did not wait for the marshal, and later with another boy succeeded in removing the box. Potts says that the box contained property of value but will not tell what The latest and most sensational theory as to the box is that it was buried by the late Seleucus Adams and that it 'con tained government bonds. It is said to be a fact that Mr. Adams had buried money at various times and in different places in the woods of lower Biddeford. When Mr. Adams’s estate was settled, it is said that it fell short of the amount expected by about $50,000. It is said that this amount could never be accounted for, and that those who knew that Mr. Adams had been in the habit of burying money have always believed that this part Of his estate was hidden some where in the lower Biddeford woods, and that searches were made soon after his death for this fortune which could not be accounted for. CLEVELAND GIVES WARNING. He li Going to Cell Congress Together to Tackle the Financial Problem. Washington, June 6.—The President said this evening in reply to a direct question by a representative of the United Press that he intended to call an extra session of Congress not earlier than the 15th of September unless unexpected contingencies should necessitate an earlier meeting. The President said: “I think it not amiss that our people should be informed authortatively that the time is at hand when their represen tatives in Congress will be called upon to deal with the financial condition which is the only menace to the country’s wel fare and prosperity.” Presidential Appointments. Washington, Junw5.—The President today appointed Charles W. Dayton of New York, postmaster of that city. Mr. Dayton has been a member of the Tam many Hall general committee for two years.

One Day Sufficed To Find a Jury to Try Lizzie Borden. OPENING SCENES OF WHAT WILL BE A FAMOUS TRIAL.

The Court House Early Surrounded by a Crowd Eager to Catch a Glimpse of the Prisoner—She Looked Well and Appeared Self Possessed—How the Ju rors Were Selected-What the Men Who Were Rejected Had to Say, New Bedford, Mass., June 5.—This was the first clay of the Borden trial, and interest in that celebrated oase was shown by the crowds arriving on incom ing trains early this morning. The ho tels were soon filled. In the oourt today there were few spectators, the space be ing reserved for the 150 talesmen from whom the jury was selected. :The court house was early surrounded by a large number of people, who watched the ar rival of the justices and counsel and talked about the trial and the heat. Lizzie was the object watched for, and there was no disappointment. The court house was encircled with an ever-grow ing crowd, among which the ladies held the majority. The sidewalk on Court street was choked with curious gazers, waiting patiently in the hot sun for a glimpse of the girl whose trial is attract ing the interest of the world, and is equalled only by that of Mrs. Maybrick, in London. Lizzie Borden arrived at 11 o’clock promptly, driving up in a close, handsome, single carriage with colored driver. Sheriff Wright accompanied her. Alloc Rnvrlfin TTTO C o-tfiv/vrl in rt black hernani dress, aqd wore a black spring hat of lace. There were no flow ers nor any attempt at external display. She seemed perfectly cool and deliberate Her face wore the hue of health. The girl was kindly assisted to alight by Sheriff Wright and Deputy Sheriff Kirby. A hush fell over the lounging crowd as the girl passed up the rear steps of the court house. A slight wave of color passed over her face. She pro ceeded quickly with her escort to the court room. Lizzie took her seat within the dock at the extreme right, Deputy Sheriff Kirby, her guardian, taking his place beside her. Within the bar Was her friend and pastor, Rev. E. A. Buck. Rev. W. W. Jubb of the Central Congregational church, Fall River, sat beside him. In front of them were Mrs. Holmes of Fall River, and chatting with him Judge Ed mund H. Bennett of the Boston Univer sity Law School. District Attorney W. H. Moody^of Essex, who will open for the prosecution was the first of the counsel to appear at 10.50. Following him came Col. Melvin O. Adams, his pleasant smile winning for him a cordial reception. Mr. Jen nings accompanied him. His manner betokened perfect confidence. Marshal Hilliard, clean-shaven and in a light spring suit, sat on the left in front, and with him was Mr. Simeon Borden, Jr., of Fall River, a distant connection of the prisoner. Miss Annie M. White, the court steno grapher, in whose hads may be so large a share of Lizzie’s fate, sat just in front of the dock rail. She wore a becoming suit of brown, with contrasting shades of cream. It is Miss White, who is to testify to the star chamber inquest re port on which District Attorney Knowl ton so strongly relies for Lizzie Borden’s undoing. Ex-Governor Robinson came in at 11.20 and walking over to the dock greeted Lizzie with his kind smile and shook her hand. They had a moment’s whispered conference. Then Hon. Chas. J. Holmes arose and came over to the dock. District Attorney Knowlton was all ready to proceed at 11.26, and the Court came in, Justice Mason gravely leading the way. The crier made the old-time proclamation with his thrice repeated Hear ye. Then the jury list was called. The crier summoned them with his quaint call: “Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye! good and lawful men, sum moned by venire to attend at this session of the Superior Court, appear and an swer to your names as they be called.” The responses received indicated that the 150 jurors,occupied all the rear seats. Joseph W. Hathaway was the first absen tee from the venire roll noted. Clerk Simeon B. Borden occupied the desk in front of Judge Mason. Rev. M. C. Julian of Trinitarian church, New Bedford, as the clerk’s voice ceased, offered an appeal, that jus tice be done, innocence revealed and guilt exposed at this sitting of the court.; As all were again seated District At torney Knowlton explained to the court that the Attorney General was unavoid ably absent because of his recent ill health, and that his physician had de cided, and as the attorney felt wisely, that it was best that the Attorney Gener al should not appear, at his suggestion he had invited Mr. Win. H. Moody of Haverhill, District Attorney for the east ern district, to assist him. Lizzie An drew Borden was now at the bar for trial upon an indictment in two counts charg ing her with the murder of Andrew Jack son Borden and Abby Durfec Borden, his wife, respectively. Before empaneling the jury, Chief Jus tice Mason impressively addressed the jurors summoned to appear upon the grave responsibilities resting upon,each of them in the cause. He desired them especially to remember that they would bo upon their oath in answering to the formal questions prescribed; that in answering the query as to whether they had formed an opinion thev were to remember the charge of Chief' Justice Shaw, that such opinion should be sorae thing .more than a mere vague idea formed upon abbreviated reports in the newspapers. He also laid stress upon the question of capital punishment. Jurors were called upon to respect the law, and were not to treat its provisions lightly. There must be a sincere and strong objection to such punishment. The first juror was Ansel G. Baker of New Bedford, who said he did not think any evidence which could be produced would induce him to change his mind, and he was told to step aside. George Winslow of Mansfield followed. He had no bias or prejudice, and was acceptable to all but the defence, Miss Borden call ing her challenge, under direction of Mr. Jennings, in a clear voice. George Potter of Westport had formed an opinion, but did not think it was suffi cient to prevent being changed. He had no bias or prejudice, and was in a condi tion to find a verdict of guilty if the evi dence warranted. There was no chal lenge, and he •was duly sworn in and placed in the box at 11.54. Mortimer Searles, Hew Bedford, said he had formed and expressed opinions, and his judgment was so well set it would be hard work to change it. He was rejected. Wm. H. Willis, Hew Bedford, had no bias or prejudice, and could find a ver dict of guilt if the evidence warranted. The proceedings were here interrupted by Mr. Jennings handing a sheet of pa per closely written upon to the Chief Justice. He in turn passed it to his as sociates, and then a deliberation fol lowed. Outsiders speculated as to the nature of the point raised by Mr. Jennings, and as volumes of court decisions were passed to the Bench and diligently pe rused in various parts by the Justices, a buzz of anxiety went about the room. The Court then read from the paper questions as to whether the juror had read the testimony of the preliminary hearing, and as to how he had expressed himself in regard to the case. It was simply a series of questions, somewhat different from those propounded by the Court, and discussion was as to whether the ques tions should be put. That the court did so shows that the questions were allow ed. The substance of them was to see whether the juror had ever said he be lieved the prisoner guilty and that he wanted to go on the jury for the purpose of convicting and as to whether or not he was a client of the prosecuting attor ney. Mr. Knowlton made no objection to the questions being put, but claimed the right to put a similar question as the last to any of the jurors. Mr. Willis was rejected. Josiah T. Horton of Dighton was called up next and though he stood in different, the government challenged him. ”0. T. Springer,” Horth Attle boro, was called, but there had been a clerical error in his name and he was sent back to his seat. vvmiaui jd. nean oi raunton, the next had no bias Or prejudice, and his opin ion would not preclude him from acting fairly to all parties. He was acceptable, and was sworn and given a place in the box. James Grundy of New Bedford stood indifferent, but was challenged by Miss Borden. Gilbert K. Brownell, New Bedford, proved that he was exempt by reason of service on the jury within two years, and was dismissed. William Graves, Mansfield,'said he was 65 years old, but did not desire exemp tion on that ground. He stood indiffer ent, and was challenged by the govern ment. John Wilbur, Somerset, had formed an opinion, but was unbiassed, and stood fair to all, and was declared indifferent. The government, however, asked through the court, whether he was a client of either of the counsel In the case, and he replied “no.” He was not challenged, and made the third man on the jury. Frederick C. Wilbur, Raynham, had no prejudice, and was capable of acting fairly by both parties in interest. He was not challenged, and took the fourth seat on the jury. Elisha Smith, Easton, had a feeling that he could not bring in a verdict of guilty in a case where the punishment was death, and was promptly discharged by the court. Joseph W. Hatch, New Bedford, was called, but presented a physician’s cer tificate of disability and was excused, although the certificate was not sworn to. John F. Staples, Berkley, was unpreju diced, but Objected to capital punish ment, and was excused by the court. Benjamin T. Cuudall, Somerset, was indifierent, but was challenged by the government. George H. Wheeler, Taunton, objected to capital punishment and was excused. Lemuel K. Wilbur, Easton, stood in different, and was sworn as the fifth juror, there being no challenges. When the court came in after recess, the work of securing a jurv was resumed William Westcott of Seekonk was ac cepted, and then Lewis B. Hodges of Taunton was sworn in as the seventh member of the jury. Augustus Swift Of New Bedford and Frank E. Cole of Attleboro were accept ed. and John O. Finn of Tan ntnn woo an. I cepted as the tenth juror. Charles I. Richards and Allen H. Ward ell completed the list. Mr. Richards is foreman. The last juror was sworn at 4.45 p. m. The quickness with which the jury was impanelled was a surprise to everyone. The jury was formally made up and dismissed for half an hour, during which the counsel consulted re garding adjournment It was finally de cided not to open the case tonight, and the court adjourned until 6 a. m. tomor row. Tomorrow, immediately after the district attorney makes his opening for the prosecution, the oourt will adjourn in order that the jury can visit Fall Riv er. A special car will be chartered for the train which leaves here at 12.35. A plan of the house drawn by the city en gineer will be taken along by those in charge. The counsel for the prosecu tion and defense will be in the party. THE MANCHESTER MURDER. Jose Correiro Held Without Bail Until June 15. Fall River, Mass., June 5.—Jose Correiro, the Portuguese under arrest for the Manchester murder, was ar raigned this morning and held without bail until June 15. He pleaded not guil ty and announced himself ready for trial. The government asked for continuance as many important witnesses were in New Bedford attending the Borden trial. Judge McDonough continued the case to the 15th. Manuel Souoci, the principal witness for the government, is held in $2000 bonds. This morning the officers searching in the vicinity of Jose Correiro’s boarding house at Bowenvilie, found the old pair of shoes worn by hlin on Memorial day. They were lying in a gravel pit near the railroad track, a considerable distance from the house. Joseph Lacroix, a shoe dealer, identified the sudds. The officers state that the shoes had evidently been soaked in water, but will not say there is blood upon them. HOT THE WORD OP GOD. Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott on the Bible and ^the Briggs Case. CALLS THE PROFESSOR PROPHET NOT HERETIC. Vigorous Remarks^of the Successor to Henry Ward Bsecher—He Challenges Any Man to Findlthe Phrase “Wprd of God” in the Bible—Dr. Briggs He Calls a Prophet, Successor of the Prophets of the Olden Times. New York, June 5.—Rev. Dr, Lyman Abbott, in his sermon on the Briggs case yesterday at Plymouth church, Brook lyn, endeavored to prove that Dr. Briggs and not the general assembly during the last two years had defended the true Christian faith; that it was not Dr. Briggs who was heretical, but that the stand taken by the general assembly was one whose logical result was infidelity. Dr. Abbott spoke of the battle which has gone on from the days of Moses down to the present by the ecclesiastic and prophet, the one maintaining that the institution was the essential thing, and the other that the individual per sonal life was the essential thing, and there could be no religious institution without it. He exclaimed: ‘Infidel 1 What is infidel? What if not this: To deny that God is in His world today? What if not this: To deny that there is any wav of coming to God except the one door that has never been opened save to a limited number of the hutnan race? “Heretic 1 What is heresy? For one thing, it is to declare that God is not the Father of all mankind, and leaves no aoor oi access to nimseu save the one door of a written word that was not com pleted till the human race had longed and cried and prayed for their Father for 2000 years. “In your name, and in the name of all that believe in the living God dwelling in the hearts of his children today, I thank this prophet, successor to the prophets of olden times, that in these two years of cruel trial he has never receded from his one position, never used words in a double sense, never retracted his one as sertion, but has stood firmly and faith fully, against persuasion on the one hand and attack on the other, for his fundamental principle—that God is in the heart of the. individual and in the heart of His church, as revealed in the pages of the Bible. “The Bible is not the word of God-. And, repeating almost the words, and certainly the sentiment, of Dr.- Horton, who lectured last year before the stu dents of the Union Thological seminary, I challenge any man who 'calls the Bible the word of God to find that phrase, ‘The word of God,’ ever employed in the Bible to designate the Bible, or even em ployed in one part of the Bible to desig nate any other part. “When a man takes the book, that is, what men have written, puts it up and says: ‘You must hear the word of God,’ you must hear only the echo of the word. I don’t wonder that misplaced indigna tion goes out against the book which the would-be defenders are missing.’’ FOUGHT A VICIOUS HORSE. Perry Farrington Escaped Death but Has Many Ugly founds. [Special to the Press.] West Paris, June 5.—Perry Farring ton of Locke’s Mills, while looking oyer his horses which were in the pasture, undertook to drive away the horses which had gathered about him. At this one of them got mad and went for Mr. Farring ton. Knocking him down, the horse placed its knees on his stomach and bit him terribly. One arm was mangled badly and he was bitten on the other and also on both legs, but the worst bite was on his cheek. Mr. Farrington, however, succeeded in choking the horse off and regained his feet. Then the horse rushed for him again. Fortunately, Mr. Far rineton threw a lavtm stnne which teriwt. the horse in the forehead, knocking him down, and Mr. Farrington made Mg es cape. It was a narrow esoape from death, as Mr. Farrington said he coqld not have stood it a minute longer. As it is he is confined to his bed ana is in a very bad condition. THE HOME RULE BILL. Mr. Gladstone Accepts One Amendment—* Another Rejected. London, June 6.—The House of Com mons today went into oommtttee to con sider clause three of the home rule bill. Mr. Gladstone accepted an amend ment proposed by Sir Henry James, Liberal Unionist, th»t the Dublin Legislature be forbidden to interfere in proceedings for the eitra dition of criminals.

Major Susie Swift. Major Susie Swift’s leoture on “Dark est England” last Thursday evening aroused muoh ouriosity in the minds of many to know something of her personal experience and the motives and steps by which she was led into the Salvation Anuy. Our citizens will have an opportunity to hear this interesting story, as she has kindly consented to relate her experience in a consecration meeting led "by Adju tant and Mrs. Brengle in the Army Hall at 239 Federal street, next Wednesday evening, June 7th at 8 o’clock. Arrested by Bogus Policemen. A few nights ago a young man living on Federal street, was awakened by two men who had entered his house. One wore a blouse with brass buttons and said he was an officer. They told the young man that he was under arrest and walked him towards the station but offered to let him go for $5. He refused and they left him. The police have a clue to the two men’s identity.

Fairfield, June 5.—There is quite a gold fever: raging in this vicinity, over recent findings in the East Benton mine. While it is spoken of as the East Ben ton mine it is as a matter of fact in Unity Plantation and just six and a half miles from this village. The land is owned by A. E. Bradbury of this town and they have operated on it several winters, hauling large quantities of the wood and lumber to Fifteen Mile stream. One assay made by L. B. Darling who operates large smelting works at Provi dence, E. I., was very gratifying. He re ported gold at the rate of $16.48 per ton and silver $1.80 or a total of $18.98 ton. Another was gold $15.45, silver $2.02 or a total of $17.45. He also esti mated that it would be worked on the ground at the rate of $3 or $4 per ton, which would leave a handsome profit even if it did not average as well as the samples assayed.

Three were killed and one fatally injured. A CREAMING EXPERIMENT. May We Mix Last Night’s Cream With This A short time ago we were asked whether any injustice would result to either creamery man or patron if the latter should set his evening’s milk, skim it in the morning, mix the cream with the morning’s milk and send the mix ture to the creamery instead of sending the milk of both evening and morning, as is the nsual custom. The most satis factory way to answer all such queries is by practical demonstrations, and it was determined to conduct an experi ment bearing on the point in question. Milk was taken immediately after milking and set in Cooley cans in water at a temperature of 42 degrees. The temperature of the milk was 88 degrees. The milk set from 7 in the evening until 7:45 the next morning, or nearly 13 hours, when it was skimmed. At that time the temperature of the water was 40 degrees, the ice used having reduced the temperature two degrees. The skim milk was drawn off by means of siphons provided for that purpose at the bottom of the cans. The first 1J inches of milk below tbs cream line were left with the cream. The cream was then well mixed with the morning’s milk from the same cows and weighed and tested. The following table shows the weights of the evening milk, morning milk, skimmilk and the mixture of cream and morning’s milk, the per cent of fat and the number of pounds of butter fat in each lot of milk: Percent Pounds Weight. fat. fat. Evening’s milk.6? 8.20 2.14 Skimmilk. 62 .20 .10 Morning’s milk. 08 8.30 2.24 Mixture of cream and morning’s milk. 83 6.20 4.31 In this table the fat in the skimmilk plus the fat in the mixture should equal the fat in the evening milk plus the fat in the morning milk. It will be noticed that there is a difference of .88 of a pound, but with ordinary test bottles the per cent cannot be read close enough to avoid such a small error. A composite sample of the evening and morning milk tested 8.25 per cent fat. Where creameries are conducted on the separator system the general cus 4.AM. .a4.ma.h .a. 4a 4a1.a i— V.4L evening and morning milk and haul back the skimmilk. In this case there would have been 135 pounds of milk to be taken to the creamery testing 3.25 per cent fat, as above noted. For this 4.38 pounds of butter fat, at 20 cents per pound, the patron would have received 87.6 cents. By skimming the evening milk and mixing the cream with the morning milk there were 83 pounds of the mixture, which, as shown in the above table, yielded 4.81 pounds fat. At 20 cents per pound this would be 88.2 cents. That is to say, the creamery man would lose nothing if the cream and morning milk was delivered instead of the milk of both evening and morning, and the pa tron’s loss would be only the amount of fat he left in the skimmilk. Whether this loss would be small or great would of course depend on the efficiency of creaming, and this in turn would be governed mainly by the meth ods employed in handling the milk. Whether it will pay patrons to set the evening’s milk, skim it and send in the cream with the morning’s milk is some thing that each must determine for him self. The advantages of the plan are obvious. It would save hauling a large quantity of milk, and the skimmilk be ing always sweet would certainly be bet ter for the calves than when the whole milk is taken several miles, run through the separator and hauled back through the hot sun, often souring before it can be fed.—Bulletin Iowa Agricultural Experi ment Station.

MISCELLANEOUS. THE WORLD’S FAIR. One of the Greatest Dangers to be Avoided. Read This if You are Going. The Polluted Water of the Windy City Likely to Cause Trouble—How the Dan gers May be Averted—Cleanse and Puri fy your System and Microbes Will Find no Lodgement In Your Body. The coining summer will be alive with interest. The dreaded Asiatic Cholera threatens us, and the Columbian Exhibi tion diverts our thoughts to pleasanter things. Everyone is awake to watchful ness in the forner, and all are hoping the scourge may be kept away. Scientists state that Cholera is always introduced into the system through the stomach. The food we eat and the water we drink are our sources of danger. “Cholera,” says one, will not develop if the person exposed is perfectly healthy. It is the weak, debilitated and improper lyi nourished who are prey to epidemics.” Here is the danger to many. The World’s Fair will tempt them to Chicago. A change of water,—at all times more or less harmful,—is doubly dangerous, from the fact that the city water of Chicago has been pronounced vile and unfit for drinking purposes, Spring waters will be sold, of course, but their origin will be unknown, and the temptation to quench one’s thirst at every opportunity will often be yielded to, re gardless of consequences. Careless eating and drinking, if the system is run down, will be sure to pro duce, if not Cholera, at least an attack of some sort. Officials will be on the alert for cases of suspected sickness. How would you feel in a strange city, hundreds of miles from home, to find yourself in a hospital, cut off from all communication with your friends Then look out! Fortify your system now with the timely use of King’s Sarsaparilla, a med icine commended by the medical pro fession as a preventive of disease. Put your system in perfect order by a few weeks’ use of King’s Sarsaparilla and you need have no fear. You will find yourself able to withstand fatigue, your muscles will be strong and hard, yUui UC1VUU3 ojotcui as icuauio as a piece of fine machinery, your digestive organs able to assimmilate all kinds of food. Tour attacks of indigestion, fre quent headaches, loss of appetite, ina bility to sleep, and all other indications of debility will have passed away never to return. Then you oan Eat, Drink and Travel with Impunity, feeling Safe in the Fact of your vigorous Health. King’s Sarsaparilla is prescribed by many of Maine’s leading physicians as the ideal remedy, for purifying the blood and arousing vitality. KING’S' SARSA PARILLA is skil fully combined by a chemist of long ex perience in the selec tion and preparation of drugs ana can be t implicitly relied J upon as the most valuable preparati on 5 of the kind on the market. Price per bottle 75 cents and every bottle is tbape mabk. sold with the positive guarantee to re fund the price if it fails to benefit. Our Guarantee Is like a bank check. If King’s Sarsaparilla does not benefit you take it back to the druggist and draw your money. 75 CENTS A A price sufficient to BOTTLE. cover valuable medi cinal qualities and low enough to be with in the reach of the people.

V Down the street through the busy 1ivay A lady passed on marketing day. Who, pausing at a grocery store, Stepped quickly in at the open door. With bated breath and anxious mien She queried; “have you COTTOLENE?" The grocer, leaving off his work, Interrogated every clerk; But none up to that time had seen An article called COTTOLENE.” “What is it?” said he to the dame, “That answers to this curious name. What is it made of? What’s its use? My ignorance you’ll please excuse.” “You’re not the merchant for my dimes, I see you’re quite behind the times. For COTTOLENE, I’d have you know, Is now the thing that’s all the go, An article of high regard A healthful substitute for lard. Its composition pure and clean For cooking give me COTTOLENE.” As from his store the lady fled, The grocer gently scratched his head— On his next order, first was seen, “One dozen cases COTTOLENE Ask Your Grocer for it.

The property of the company at the present time consists of the plant, includ ing buildings, wharf, gas making appar atus, station meter and gas holders. There are also 28 miles of street mains which are in fairly good condition. The real estate of the company consists oi 8,9733 feet of land between the Maine Central tracks and the Old P. S. P. E. E. location. There is an additional area of uplands outside the P. S. P. R. R. location of 72,605 feet and 34,106 feet of flats which are partially filled. There is also the old reservoir lot on Summer street which contains 6,250 feet of land and the land and buildings on Temple street where the campany’s offices are located. Your committee believe a con servative estimate of the «,value of the above property of the company includ ing its franchise taking in view that the company is to continue its business as heretofore to be equal to the amount oi stock issued, viz: 6936 shares at $50 per share or $349,300. There are also bills receivable amount ing to $84,000. This sum is loaned by the company to different persons on col lateral and in every case the company has perfect security. The cash on hand as per the last report of the treasurer is $12,234.37. The last two items represent the working capital of the company. Another large item of the assets of the company is the renewal and insurance fund. The company insures itself and has placed a certain sum of money each year to the credit of this fund to take care of any unforeseen accident or explo sion that might take place.

In order to ascertain the amount ol necessary expenditures for the immedi ate future your committee had Mr, Wil pany, make us a statement of wha: would be needed for renewals and re pairs for the next two years, and we give you his letter in reply as a part of this report. Portland, Me., April 29,1893. Charles F. Guptill.

By the statement given below, it will be seen that after making a further divi dend of 45 per cent the company would still have a balance of §63,169.85.

The committee have |urged the direc tors to declare a special dividend of 50 per cent in lieu of the regular June divi dend. We believe this could be done without detriment to the financial condi tion of the company and still leaves them with sufficient working capital and bal ance enough for an insurance and re newal fund to guard against any acci dent that is liable to occur. We have stated to the directors the present financial needs of the city and that we wanted the dividend on our seven teen hundred (1700) shares of stock to help out the large appropriations for this year on account of increased expen ditures arising from remodeling the High schoool building and other matters that could not well be delayed. We had hoped by the receipt of a dividend from the Gas company to be able to keep the rate of taxation down to the rate of the past few years, but without it the rate will probably have to be increased. We claim that all money in the hands of the officers of the company over and above the actual requirements to prosecute the business in a proper manner should be divided among the several stockholders and that they have no moral right to withhold it. Many of the smaller stock holders have stated that they hoped a special dividend might be made, but when the stockholders’ meeting was held they were not present to urge the mat ter, but a large majority of the stock was represented by proxies in the hands of the officers. We believe if ail the stockholders could meet and the ques tion of the extra dividend bo impartially uiovuooou xu wuuiu uc vuucu uy <t lajgt) majority. The fact of the city owning nearly one-quarter interest and demand ing a'proper division of the surplus should have considerable weight with the smaller stockholders who evidently have not looked into the affairs of the company sufficiently to know whether such a dividend would he proper or not. There is evidently some feeling with the officers of the company against the city from the fact that the city is the largest stockholder and has with drawn its patronage altogether so that at the present time no gas is con sumed by the city. We cannot help feel ing that the city is somewhat in the wrong in this matter and would recom mend that the city (provided there is not too much difference in the expense) light with gas the engine houses and other public buildings, as well as the lanes and smaller side streets where it is practica ble, in place of the small incandescent electric lights now in use. In regard to the larger series and arc lights used for lighting the principal streets and thoroughfares of the city we believe public opinion would demand their retention. The Gas Company has the capacity to manufacture two or three times the pres ent consumption (which is about 51,000, 000 feet) and we have no doubt, pro vided they could find a sale for it, with very little extra expense for labor and the cost of coal, could reduce the cost of gas to two-thirds or three-quarters of what it is at present The charter of the. Portland Gaslight Co. does not allow it to go outside of the city limits, but a charter has been ob tained for a company to supply the City of Deering and we hope some arrauge ment can be made so that the Portland Gas Co. can furnish gas to this company at a rate satisfactory to them and at a price ;low as they could manufacture it themsdlves in the quantity they would be required to make, thereby increasing the output of the Portland Gas Co., and lowering the cost price so that the con sumers can obtain lower rates and the company at the same time make divi dends satisfactory to its stockholders. At a meeting of the directors held on May 3, 1893, it was voted that on and after July 1, 1893, the price of gas be reduced to ($1.50) one dollar and fifty cents net per thousand feet instead of the present price $1.80 net per thousand feet. We hope, however that the con sumption will be so increased that we can hope for still further reduction in One of the arguments used against a division of the surplus is that owing to the reduction in price of gas and the competition of the electric and other methods of lighting, it would be neces sary in order to pay the customary ten per cent |annual dividend to retain the present invested fund, and pay dividends from the interest derived therefrom. At the price of gas voted by the direc tors $1.50 per thousand|feet and assuming 1 the cost to be the same as last year, and the quantity sold tfcfc same, we have a profit Of fifty-five (55) cents per thousand 1 feet on 51,700,000 feet or $2S,433. This would pay an annual dividend of six per cent free from taxation to the stock holders of $20,958 and still leave a bal ance in the hands of the company of $8, 377. It seems to us that if the stock holders could get a special dividend of 45 per cent and invest it individually to suit themselves, they would in the future be content with an annual 6 per cent dividend and call it a good invest ment. Cost of Gas Making;. The committee have taken pains to as certain the price paid for gas in other cities in New England and we find the price per thousand feet charged by the Portland Gas Company compares favor ably with that charged in other places. In order to have a fair comparison we have taken a few cities where the con sumption is about the same as in Port land. Quantity Net Price PlaceConsumed. per M It. Brookline.

Since the above report was made, how ever, a large number of cities in Massa chusetts havo materially reduced the rates to consumers, and there now ap 1 V- c-novol pn;n£r „n throughout New England for lower gas rates. Some of the cities in Maine manufac ture water gas and others coal gas, but as the quantity consumed is much smaller than in Portland, we could not make a fair comparison with them. Al through the Gas Company has a strong competitor in the Electric Light Compa ny, the sales have not diminished materi ally and it is likely to be sometime hence before electricity supersedes gas, if it ever does. In conclusion, the committee wish to express their appreciation of the courte sies extended by Mr. Daveis, the presi dent, and other officers of the company. We were taken to the works and shown the different processes of manufacture which1,we found very interesting. No attempt was made to conceal any information, and all books and papers have been at the service of the committee when called for, and from them we have obtained most of the facts and figures contained in our report.

Goodwin, who died at Bos ton recently of pneumonia, was the au thor of the “Wingood Series” [and of •‘Dorothy Gray,” and was born in Ches terville, Me., 60 years ago. She had been a resident of Boston for many years. She was the daughter of the late B. B. and Elizabeth Bradbury. Before her marriage to the late G. C. Goodwin of Boston, founder of the wholesale drug firm bearing his name, she had written many short Istories and sketches, which were published in magazines and papers over her initials H. F. B. She was als o a successful teacher of girls in Bangor, Me., and later principal of the Charles town Female Seminary, at that time a popular and widely known school. For the last sixteen years Mrs. Goodwin has been intimately associated with the educational work of Wellesley College. She was an active member of its board of trustees and of its executive commit tee, being selected and importuned to take the position by Mr. Durant, its fnnnrlftr a.nrl has also written and rAa.H to the students of Wellesley many essays upon art. The studies for these essays were made in the great art centers of Europe, Mrs. Goodwin having traveled and studied in England,Franoe,Germany, Italy and Spain. She made five trips for the purpose. She and the late Bishop Phillips Brooks were honorary members of the class of 1887, Wellesley college. For twelve years she was secretary of the Student’s Aid society of the college, de voting nearly half her waking hours to the work of helping needy young women to obtain an education. Her first novel, “Madge” was received with great favor. “Madge” was followed by “Sherbrook,” a story of New England life. “Dr. How ell’s Family,” Mrs. Goodwin’s third book, was written during months of great phys ical pain, but many readers regard it as the author’s strongest work. “Christine’s Fortune” is a picture of German life. “Our Party of Four” describes a tour in Spain. Perhaps to “Dorothy Gray” the highest praise is awarded by critics and literary friends. Her whole life was spent in acts of kindness and philan throphy. She was also a member of the Browning, Costilian, Saturday Evening Bound Table and New England Woman’s clubs. She leaves two step-daughters, Mrs. O. B. Mo wry of Brookline and Miss Carrie Goodwin; a brother, B. F. Brad bury; and a sister, wife of Kev. C. F. Holbrook of Danvers. A Mother s Duty. “Watch your daughter’s physical development.

Dr. Ecob from the'Presbyterian church because of the attitude toward Dr. Briggs is sig nificent. He is one of the prominent men of the [denomination and his example will be likely to be followed by others. Indeed as Dr Briggs has been excluded for his views it would seem that those who agree with him had no choice left them but to withdraw. The fair will have to pick up half dol lars from now till September a good deal faster than it has ^during the month of May to make it a financial success. The net receipts for that month were $600,000 which is at the rate of $3,600,000 for the entire six months of the fair. As the pre liminary expenses of the fair were about $30,000,000 the present rate of earnings would leave a tremendous balance on the wrong side. The remaining months will undoubtedly show an improvement but it can hardly be expeeted that the investment will prove a paying one in dollars and cents. The Water Company submitted to the last administration two propositions for the settlement of the [contro versy between the city and the company relative to the contract for sup plying water for municipal purposes. One of these Ipropositions was rejected and the other laid on the table without action. The company has now with drawn both of these propositions and will bring suit against the city for money due on the contract. Of course this suit will effectually test the legality of the con tract, and will accomplish the same thing as the reference which the com pany first proposed. We think the ma jority of lawyers who have examined the subjeot believe ;the contracts are per fectly legal, but as the question has been raised it is best to have a decision from the courts. THE OAS COMPANY AND A SPECIAL DIVIDEND. The report of the committee of the Board of Aldermen appointed to investi gate the condition of the Gaslight Com pany is published elsewhere. The re port was drawn by Alderman Guptill and was meant to be, and no doubt is, a conservative statement of the value of the company’s assets. The company’s works and the land on which they stand are estimated by the committee to be worth the amount of the capital stock of the company at par, or about $349,000. Its accumulations amount to more than $300,000. The cost of the renewals that will be needed this year will amount at the outside, according to Mr. York’s es timate, at $45,000, unless a considerable increase in the consumption of gas should follow the reduction in price, when some additions would be needed, and the ex pense increased to $65,000. Mr. York considers $30,000 amply sufficient for the Insurance fund. The insurance and re newal funds now amount to over $200, 000, more than $100,000 more than the engineer estimates to be needed. Mr. Dave's, the President of the company, however, thinks the insurance fund should be about $100,000. A difference of $70,000 between the estimates of the engineer and the president as to the amount needed for insurance is certainly a very remarkable one. In 1888 the com. pany was worrying along with an insur ance and renewal fund of $152,000. It has now increased to $208,000, and still the president and dlreotors think it no moro than it needed. It may be that the directors have in mind when they ipeak of insurance not merely insurance »n the works of the company, but also insurance on the stock—insurance of 10 per cent, dividends, even if the reduc tion of the price of gas should cut down the yearly earnings. But we think the public will be in clined to agree with the committee that a dividend of 6 or 7 per cent, a year, clear of taxation, is as much as the stockholders of a company dealing in a necessary of life and possessing an exclusive franchise, ought to ex pect, and that if they get more they are getting more than belongs to them. Reckoning the consumption the same as at present, the company will be able to pay 6 or 7 per cent, at the re duced price of its product and lay aside all that will be needed for insurance and renewals. With this the stockholders ought to be content, especially as a great many of them have received back all of their original investments in special divi dends. If they are willing to be content with that there is no reason under the sun why the company cannot declare a special dividend of 45 per cent., as the committee suggest. The company will then have left in its treasury $63,000; which will be ample to provide against all probable contingencies except the contingency that the earnings may not be sufficient to enable the company to pay 10 per cent, dividends if it depends upon them alone. The only possible reason, it seems to us, for the compa ny’s keeping on hand $300,000 of surplus is to enablo it to continue to pay 10 per cent, on its stock in case its income from the business of gas making is reduced. That is not a good reason. A company that has earned such enormous profits in the past ought to be willing to abate something in the future. ODDS AND ENDS. Austria has only 155 periodicals.

The stone fights of Corea are a remark- I able national sport. The kite flying, which is universal in Corea, stops on the i 15th of their first month, and next day i the stone fights take its place. The most serious fights occur on the large open spaces of the capital. There is a sort of recognized pitting of one section of the city against another, but there is no or ganization and no leaders, though the fighters generally follow the lead of the more daring and reckless of their num- 1 ber. Stones fly in an incessant shower, and each man tries to hit as many men as he can, and specially to avoid being hit by stones .aimed at him.

THE HMD WILL PLAY And Young America Will See Some Fun (in Independence Day. DOINGS OF THE CITY FATHERS LAST EVENING. Appropriations for Band Concerts and Fourth of July—A Rifle Range for the Militia—The Water Company Serves a Notice—Alleged Abuse of au Alms House Patient To Be Investigated— Important Report Concerning the Gas Light Company. The regular monthly meeting of the city council was held last evening. As a result, Young America will rejoice for Independence Day is to be observed in good style. Band concerts during the summer were also, provided for and much other business transacted. An important report was made concerning the Portland Gaslight Company. This report is printed in full on page three of this issue. IN BOARD OP MAYOR AND ALDER MEN. Mayor Baxter presided; absent, Aider man Josselyn. Fourth of July Celebration. An order that a joint committee of three aldermen and such as the council may join, be authorized to expend from the contingent fund a sum not exceeding $4000, for a proper celebration of tho Fourth of July, Was presented by Alder man Prince. Alderman Strout said that personally he was in favor of the order. A celebra tion was a' valuable thing financially for the city. For every dollar expended several was brought in. And this was but the minor argument, since the proper observance of the day was a lesson in patriotism, a reminder of the duties of citizenship, which should be perpet uated. Alderman Guptill agreed with this; but did not see how the contingent fund could stand $4000. He would rather make it $2000. Alderman Brackett wanted to know if the gentleman from Ward 1 had any boys. Alderman McGowan wanted to hear the Mayor’s opinion. Mayor Baxter said he should like to see a good celebration; but there was force in what Mr. Guptill said. He thought a good celebration might be had for less than $4000. Mr. Prince suggested $2500 and at this figure the order passed unanimously. When the order reached the council, Councilman Webb objected to its passage basing his objection upon the condition of the city’s contingent fund. Councilman Chapman also opposed the passage of the order on the ground that the sum would be insufficient to get up a celebration that would be of any benefit to the city! Councilman Pennell championed the appropriation of a good sum for the cel ebration of the day in a worthy manner and made some sound talk in favor of the order. Councilman Chapman moved an amendment to the order placing the amount at $600 instead of $2500, but the amendment failed to pass. The original order then came before the Council and failed to pass and was returned to the upper board. The upper board refused to reconsider its vote and called for a committee of conference. The majority of this com mittee on the part of the Council voted tojrecede and concur, and the matter was further discussed in the Council, Coun cilman Webb speaking against it and Councilman M laugh making a good ap peal for it. The question being called for Jon a yea and nay vote, the order received a passage in concurrence by the following vote: Yea—Councilmen Simpson, Knowles, Kehoe, O’Neil, Lefavor, Kent, Melaugh, Howell, Ney Nay—Conncilmen Cousens, Chapman, John son, Laugblin, Webb, Chute and Leighton—7. The Chair appointed as a committee, Councilmen Pennell, Simpson, Kent! I. O'Neil and Smith, and the upper board joined Aldermen Prince, McGowan and Strout. The Water Company Contract. There was a reminder of old times when the following letter was presented in the Board of Aldermen: Portland, May, 1893. To the Honorable Mayor and, the City Council of the City of Portland: Gentlemen:—On the sixth day of December 1892, Mayor Ingraham presented to the Honor able City Council of the city of Portland a con munication advising that the contract betwee the Water Company and the city should be ai nulled, which communication was accompanied by the following order: "Ordered. That tile contract entered into with the Portland Water Company as per orders passed July 18th and August 2d, 1870, wherein the city of Portland agreed to pay the sum of $4,000 annually to said company foi the use of water, be annulled on and aftei January 1, 1893: and the city treasurer ii hereby instructed to make no further payment! to said company under said contract after sail date.” This order was referred to the committee oi judicial proceedings and claims, and a hearini was granted the Portland IVa er Company oi the 10th day of December. At the next regula: meeting, on January 3d, the said oomrmttei reported that thev were unable to agree on the order of the city council for tile annullment o: file Water Company contract and asked to be discharged from further consideration of the matter. At this meeting of the City Council on the 3d of January the Portland Water Company pre sented a communication of the. following tenor “If the City Council are of the opinion tha there is any real question or questions in volved in this Issue, the Portland Water Com pany will be willing, and hereby offers, to sub miteach question or questions to the next lav term of the Supreme Judicial Court, either or an agreed statement of facts, or otherwise, ai the city may desire. The Portland Water Com pany is ready to adopt the readiest method ti reach an amicable settlement of them, and i necessary of reaching the judgment of the cour upon them, and in the meantime the Wate Company are willing lor the payments contem plated by the existing contracts to bo wholh suspended until all questions at issue shall havi been adjudicated.” Mayor Ingraham declined the foregoing proa osltion of the company for reference and wouli submit no other proposition in lien thereof We make this statement to call to the attentloi of the City Council the effort this company has made to reacli afalr ami amicable adjustment on its part of existing controversies, and if earnest desire ot having all cause of frictio between the city and the Company removed Having failed to accomplish the object sough in a friendly maimer, the company has but on course left them, which is to commence sui against the city, bavin in view a speedy judii ial settlement of all matters and claims' whicl the company may have against the City c Portland. The company now ask that no ac tion shall be taken on the order dated Fehru; ry 6. 1893, which after being read in the Hoar of Mayor and Aldermen on that date, was Iai on tlie table, where said order now is. It nt having been accepted, we hereby withdraw th proposition which led to our offering said or der. It the city desire to do so, we are ready to enter into an agreement in regard to the facts of the case, and to afford ail reasonable aid in obtaining an amicable adjustment of our claims by the Supreme Judicial Court with the least expense to the parties. Yours respectfully, Portland Water Company. By GEO. P. WESCOTT, Treasurer. On motion of Alderman McGowan this letter was referred to the committee on judicial proceedings and claims. To Reduce the Speed of the Bicyclers. An ordinance was presented by Aider man Strout to amend Sec. 39 of the city ordinances to read as follows: Xo person having for the time being the care or use of any horse or other beast of burden, carriage or draught, or of any bicycle or tricycle, shall ride or drive or cause the same to be driven through any part of the city at a faster rate than six miles an hour, under a penalty of not less than $5 nor more than $25 for each offense. The amendment adds bicycles and tri cycles to the list of vehicles, and is in tended as a check on fast bicycling. The ordinance had its first and second readings and was passed to be engrossed. Its final passage will come at another meeting. Previous to this action a chance was given for any wheelman to be heard, but none appeared. Rifle Range for the Militia. The revision of the militia laws last winter made a provision that each town having a militia company shall procure and equip a suitable rifle range for target practice. In accordance with this law, Alderman McGowan presented an order appropriating $350 for this purpose. The order was passed unanimously. The Streets and the Civil Engineer. Alderman McGowan brought up the question of putting the streets under the care of the civil engineer. If the order should be passed now it would not inter fere with the present street commis sioner, and might go into operation next year. He would inquire what progress uau oeen maue in uie matter. The Mayor called on Alderman Brackett, who was chairman of the com mittee, to report. Mr. Brackett said the committee had not met. Alderman Guptill then explained that' the matter was left to several commit tees. Finally on suggestion of Mr. McGowan, the Mayor was made chairman of all the committees, with instructions to report at the next meeting. I A Chinese Orator Appears. Mr. R. T. Lamb, the anglicized China man, who has kept a restaurant on cus tom house for a dozen years or more, made an eloquent plea for a renewal of his license as a victualler. Alderman Tolman was his champion; and when the aldermen went into a licensing board, inquired why the marshal had recom mended against the license. Marshal Trickey said he had withheld approval because on going into Lamb’s place he had found eight men there gambling. Alderman Tolman thought they might have been shaking dice or playing cards for cigars; but that was all. Then Mr. Lamb appeared and delivered an oration. “Sometimee shakee lice, playee clard for cigar. No Gamble, If I gamble I go to back room, out of way,” was the substance of the speech. Several citizens, including Alderman McGowan, testified as to the general peaceableness of Mr. Lamb; and finally the board de cided that Mr. Lamb could have his license provided the city marshal should be satisfied with his doings in future. The bonds of G, L. Gibbs and G. Da Silva as victuallers were approved. Petitions of C. H, Stowell, G. Da Silva, Chas. H. McCloskev, Percy ffm, Faulk ner and John E. Muiien for licenses as Victuallers/were granted subject to ap proval of city marshal. Special Policemen. These special policemen without pay were appointed: Thomas A. Oakes at Congress Hall; Josiah H. Dill at Union Safe and Deposit Company; Henry Mayo in Monument square. John T. Totman was appointed spec ial policeman at Peaks Island during the pleasure of the board. To Store the Engineer’s Records. An order was introduced by Alderman Prince to authorize the Mayor to con tract for the erection of a safety vault in the city engineer’s office, and charge the expense to the committee on drains and sewers. This caused some protest, and Mr. Prince amended it by making the charge to the committee on public buildings. In this form it passed. Clerk for the Assessors, The assessors’ committee, Messrs. Jos selyn, Pennell and O’Neill, made a report favoring the appointment of a clerk to the assessors. Their work is now more than they can do, and the committee think that with the aid of a clerk they may be able to take the regular decennial valuation, which is part of their work, and which has cost $4000 or $5000 extra. Accordingly an order empowering the city assessors to appoint a clerk at a sal afy not exceeding $700 per year, the ap pointment to be subject to the approval of the assessors' committee, and the cost to be charged to the contingent appro priation, was presented by Alderman Tolman and unanimously passed. Eye and Ear Infirmary. An order to pay $500 to the Maine Eye and Ear Infirmary, the same to be charg ed to the appropriation for contingent, was passed without debate. Mr. Ingraham’s Portrait. An order directing the city clerk to re quest, in the name of the city, of ex Mayor Darius H. Ingraham, that he will 1 furnish a portrait of himself for the Mayor’s office at the City Building, in ac cordance with the custom, was unani mously passed. Commissioner Emery’s Bill. The bill of Hon. George F. Emery as chairman of the water board, for ser 1 vices and disbursements in 1S90-1-2-3, in all $2500, was presented by Alderman i Prince. Mr. Emery’s bill was accompar nicd by a lengthy statement, giving the very favorable reductions obtained t through the commissioners’ efforts, and the lengthy and arduous labors required f to prepare the water case for the attor neys who were to present it in court. This work was done largely by Mr. Em j ery, and to him belongs a large share of t the credit of the successful results of the 9 case. The bill was referred to the com mittee on judicial proceedings and claims. Street Affairs. A report was received through Aider man McGowan for the committee on drains and sewers recommending the building of a sewer from St. John street and extending easterly through Wash burn avenue about 430 feet, and again beginning at the centre of Washburn avenue and Roberts street, and extend ing northerly through said Roberts street about 1100 feet, at an Estimated cost of $2000. In accordance with this report an order was passed to authorize the mayor to contract with responsible par ties for the construction of Washburn avenue and Roberts street,and the build ing of sewers and appurtenances therein. The estimated expense is $6500. The committee on streets were em powered to buy at a cost not exceeding $200 the gravel lot on Sheridan street. An order instructing the city clerk to give the required notice that the streets, sidewalks and bridges committee will hear all parties interested in establish ing the grade on Wilson street from Beckett street to the Eastern Promenade was introduced by Alderman Guptill and passed. An order for the building of a sewer on Washburn avenue and Robert street at an estimated expense of $2000 was passed. An order instructing the city clerk to give the required notice for a hearing on establishing the grade of Morning street from Congress to Turner, was introduced by Alderman Guptill and passed. Investigating; the Alms House. Alderman Prince near the close of the evening, brought up the statement in re gard to the alleged abuse of an escaped insane patient by one o£ the keepers, the story of which has been published, and suggested that action be taken to have an investigation. Alderman Strout said he had asked Secretary Baker whether the overseers of the poor had made an investigation; and had learned that they had not as yet.

C Scrofula and Salt Rheum^ The heritage of which every human be S ing is almost as certain as he is of air, S sunlight and breath, is Scrofula Humor. S Far away in the realms of history we catch glimpses of what a curse upon the S people this all-prevalent contamination S made itself. Poor diet and insufficient food, ill ventilation, filth and dampness, S all assist the slumbering germs of Scrof S ula to overpower the vitality of the body and run riot in the system. The blood in S its process of renewing the waste can S not expel anji inherited taint of weaa ness or impurity. It can only be re S moved by the action of some purifying medicinal agency, which assisted by nu tritious food, welldigested and assimila S ted Into blood, gradually Insures the pos session of sound health. Such a renovat about In agony through many a sleep- g less night. He commenced some weeks J ago to use Brown’s Sarsaparilla in con- SS nection with the salve you sent to allay S the Irritation, and now he is so far recov- g ered that we consider bis complete cure 5 as certain.” Mr. J.W. Burke of Lee,chair- man of Penobscot Co. Commissioners, g says: “It is wonderful what Brown’s Sar- 5 saparllla has done for young Averill.” In this case Brown's Sarsaparilla threw 5 open the bowels and pores of the skin, 3 at the samo time entering the blood, g beginning a vigorous warfare on the S 1 Impure matter found there, and which 3 was a constant source of supply for the g scrofulous humor on the outside. In time 3 this was expelled from the system, and g only pure matter entered the blood. g Cured by the Use of lng remedy has Brown's Sarsaparilla proved itself to be, whether this taint has 5 given rise to Scrofula, Salt Rheum Rheu 5 matism, Neuralgia,Liver Complaints, or Kidney Diseases,which are the most fre S quent manifestations of its presence, all S have readily yielded to the clean and S purifying action of Brown’s Sarsaparilla. A VERY BAD CASE Of Scrofula, cured by Brown’s Sarsapa S rilla, has excited the people living in and 5 around the town of Lee, Me. Mr. Aver Z ill writes us as follows: “My son has S now taken fourteen bottles of Brown’s S Sarsaparilla, and I am sure it has com Z pleted a cure. His case was the worst I ever saw. His face was covered with S what seemed to be scales or scabs,and the 5 itching was so intolerable that he tossed SALT RHEUM. On Davis Street, in Bangor, resides Mrs. S Edwin Wiley, whose daughter was badly afflicted with Salt Rheum. At times her face and hands would be covered with blotches. So intense was the Itching sensation that applications of salt were S made to destroy it For a long time no 5 relief conld be obtained. One day some one suggested Brown's Sarsaparilla, and a bottle was purchased. Later Mrs. Wi- ley brought her daughter to the estab- lisbment of Mr. Ara Warren where Brown's Sarsaparilla is made. The face that a short time previous was covered with blotches, burning and itching, pre- sen ted as fair and smooth an appearance as that of any young lady.

It is not economy to buy the flavoring extracts in the market because they are sold at a low price. Cheapness is an indication of inferiority. For sale by GEO. C. SHAW CO. and all firsUlatks grocers. WILLIAM D. LITTLE. Death of Another of Portland’s Oldest and Best Known Citizens. Mr. William D. Little, one of Port land’s oldest and most respected citizens died at liis residence on Pearl street last evening, at 10.30 o’clock, after a brief illness of nearly two weeks, from typhoid pneumonia. It is a singular fact that two of the oldest men in the city and both connected with the Second Parish church, should have been called to a higher life within a few days of each other. The other was the late Dea con S. W. Larrabee. William D. Little was born in Ports mouth, N. H., in April, 1807. His par ents removed to this city in Juno of the same year and since then he has resided here during his long life of 86 years and felt that he was about the same as a native Portlander. He was educated in the public schools and at the early age of 14 years became a clerk in a gro cery store, the compensation being $50 a year aqd board. He was a pupil of the first Sunday school organized in this city in 1816, and was the only remaining member of that school. In 1822, at the age of 15 years, he became a clerk in a dry goods store of Deacon Royal Lincoln, on Middle street, (whose daughter he subsequently mar ried in 1829), and received a salary of $75 and board the first year; that was subsequently increased to $100, when he had the care of the books and the store. At that time W. W. Thomas and the late S. E. Lyman were clerks in adjoining dry goods stores. Mr. Little continued there till 182?, in which eventful year he began business for himself, in the store previously occu pied by W. W. Thomas and, with Mr. Thomas, Neal Dow and the late Oliver del-risk, helped in organizing the Port land Temperance Society. He united with the Second Parish church in .Tnlv it being the last service of Dr. Payson. Mr. Thomas became a member in April, so that they two were the oldest male members of the church, and have been closely associated|together for two-thirds of a century in the sustaining and up building of this old historic church. Mr. Little suffered somewhat with many others in the disastrous land spec ulation of 1835. In 1837, after 10 years of successful trade in dry goods, he moved to Exchange street and engaged in the auction and commission business with S. C. Shapleigh, and has been in busi ness on that street ever since, a period of 50 years, and there is no man on it today who was there when he came. In 1843 he was appointed agent of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, which had just been established, it being the first of its kind in this coun try, and has continued in the insurance business ever since. He was the first life insurance agent in the state, and his ex perience in urging people to adopt the new idea was such as few, possibly no living, men possess. He encountered not only the usual prejudice against a new departure, but the strange superstition that was aroused in many people at the novel plan of providing for the future after death, and still further, the conviction that was quite prevalent that insurance of life was a presumptuous interference with Providence. People seemed to feel somehow that to insure one’s life was tantamount to signing one’s death war rant One of the first men that he insured was Rev. Elijah Kellogg of Harpswell, and the famous author of the Elm Island stories still holds the policy. Mr. Little represented the Mutual Life Company for nearly half a century when impaired health, due to the responsibili ty while general agent for Maine and New Hampshire, induced him to relin nuiflh it to others. Of course a irerv large amount of money passed through his hands, but the company never re quired him to give bonds, which is a sin gular instance of confidence in human integrity. He has lately represented the American Surety Company of New York. For three years Mr. Little was one of the city assessors. In 1838 he was chos en assistant clerk of the House of Rep resentetives; in 1841 he was elected to the City Council, and was the only man left of the entire city government of that year. He was elected to the coun cil successively for 10 years, serving as president for eight years, and was not absent from a meeting unless out of the city. He was repeatedly nominated for alderman, but declined to accept. He served in the school board for severa 1 years. In 1850 he was nominated for representative to the legislature, but declined to accept. In 1851 he was elect ed county treasurer and served as such. In 1860 he was nominated for senator on the “Bell and Everett” ticket, with Phineas Barnes for Governor and Na than Webb for member of Congress. He was for several years a member of the military staff of Major Jewett and served till the close of the “Aroostook war.” Mr. Little’s life had been one of strict attention to business, of regular personal habits, and of entire abstinence from the use of liquor and tobacco. His memory of old residents and old times was excellent and he was a great resource for those seeking such informa tion. He was several years superintendent of the Second Parish Sunday school, and secretary of the Seamen’s Friend Socie ty, and was one of the founders of the Young Men’s Christian Association, of which he was a life member. He was one of the oldest Odd Fellows in the state, and was president of the Veteran Association and also of the Aged Broth erhood. He leaves four daughters, .Mrs. J. E. Currier, Mrs. J. H. Coffin. Mrs. J. W. Stevenson and Mrs. F. H. Coffin, and three sons, Henry A., of Philadelphia, Thomas J., and Wm. F., of ‘Portland. No one in the city enjoyed a higher respect or more uniform regard of his fellow citizens. His slender figure was always erect, and his naturally quick and active movements prevailed to the last. His countenance expressed quick intelligence and kindliness as well as the indomitable constancy of nurnose that characterized his life. THE GLORIOUS FOURTH. Committee Arranging an Old Fashioned Independence Day Celebration, The Fourth of July celebration com mittee had a meeting last evening and decided to invite the following to par ticipate: All the military companies, the fire department, mounted truckmen, Grand Army and Sons of Veterans, secret societies, sailors from the revenue cut ters, the Wheel Club, Portland Athletic Club. There will be according to pres ent plans a balloon ascension and para chute jump. There will be base ball games and various sports for which prizes will be offered. Major W. H. Green was appointed chief marshal. Sudden Death. The death of John Hugh Dowling, a Grand Trunk fireman, who lived with his young wife at No. 3 Larch street, is reported from Cape Breton. Mr. Dow ling, who was a strong man in the prime of life, obtained ten days’ leave of ab sence to visit his sick mother who lives near Port Hawkesbury, Cape Breton. He had been home only a few days when a telegram came that he had died sud denly at 6 o’clock, May 30th. The shock to his young wife, to whom he had been married but a year, and who is in de licate health, was very severe. He was buried in Cape Breton, a brother-in-law going down to attend the funeral. There have been rumors that Mr. Dowling might have met with some foul play, it being reported that as a warden or offi cer of the law, he had affronted some lawless people near his old home. But his relatives here do not entertain such a theory at all. They are satisfied that he came to his death naturally, although up to this time they have learned none of the details. The Telephone and the Islands. In the absence of Mr. Snow, Judge Sy monds represented Mr. Francis Cushing 1 before the harbor commissioners at their meeting yesterday afternoon. Judge Sy monds told the commissioners that if permission be granted to Mr. Cushing to lay a submarine cable from a point at or near Portland Head to Cushing’s island, so as to connect with telephone commu nication the city and the isl ands, the cable should be laid in thirty days. Mr. S. L. Larrabee. for the Casco Bay Telephone Company, the owners of a charter granted two years ago to lay such a cable, appeared and objected to granting this right to Mr. Cushing. The commissioners took the matter under ad visement and will view the proposed lo cation on Wednesday afternoon. The Light Infantry. Portland Light Infantry. Co. A, First Regiment, will celebrate its 90th anniver sary today. At 6.30 p. m. there will be a parade of the company, together with the others in the city, followed by a dress parade in Deering’s Oaks. At 8 p.m. there will be a banquet at the Preble House. This order has been issued: Armory Co. A. 1st Regt, Inf’y, National Guard, State of Maine, Portland, June 1,1893.) The several companies who have accepted the invitation to parade on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the Portland Light Infantry on June 6th, 1892, are hereby ordered to assemble at their armories at 6.30 p. m. Line will be formed at 6.45 p. m., sharp, on Middle street, right resting at union street. The American Cadet Band will report to the Adjutant, at corner of Middle and Union streets at 6.30 p. m. By order of Commanding Officer, Chas. E. Davis, 1st Lieut, and Adjt. A Hoodlum and a Match. Mr. A. J. Cummings, janitor of the Brown block, writes to the Press to say that the fire in the rear of that building Saturday was caused by a hoodlum throw ing a lighted match into a box containing about a bushel of waste paper. The credit of extinguishing it belongs to a young lady in the efftnlov of the Palmer millinery store, and it was done with one pail of water. All of the fires that have occurred in the rear of the Brown block have been from the same cause and have amounted to about the same. Minstrels in Trouble. Bishop’s colored players were in trouble last night. They claim that Bishop left them three weeks ago, and that yesterday the other manager, Clough, left them. The company were 15 very disconsolate colored men last night, as they are from the West and al most penniless. Manager Tewksbury kindly consented to play them for two nights at the theatre. Barnum’s Circus. Barnum’s greatest show on earth will be seen at the grounds in Deering, July 17th. Patrolman Julius Zeidler Oi the Brooklyn, N. Y., Police Force, gladly testifies to the merit of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. His wile takes it for dizziness and indigestion and it works charmingly. The children also take it with great benefit.
