STILL TALKING No New Developements in the School Snarl at Naples. (Special to the PRESS.) Naples,May 1.—The good people of this town are.talkine today, as they talked yesterday and will talk tomorrow of the peculiar situation of school aftairs. While there is of course considerable feel ing over the matter, it has not so far been allowed to interrupt the neighbor ly relations of those on opposite sides of the controversy. The village people also see tbe humorous side of the situation, and one family is amused by tbe perplex ity of the son and heir, a youngster of 12, who wanted to know which of the two teachers he,was to obey. You must mind them both," said his mother. Well, what am I to do if one tells me to read one piece and one another?” asked the boy, aud_he got no answer to the last question. The controversy is making business for the legal fraternity. As long ago as last fall, during the original trouble over the admission of pupils from other parts of the town to the village school, the com mittee made several trips to Bridgton to consult Judge Walker as to their rights. During the present predicament it is understood that the three new members of the committee have applied to Judge J.W.Symonds and Charles A. True of Portland, for (advice. The other side also retained counsel. A good deal is said here about break ing and entering. Mr.t Clark, so his op ponents say, was.guilty in the eye of the lav/ when he entered the buildings to put on those new locks.lt is not claimed, however, that Mr.Clark did any actual damage to the buildings in this “break! iug and entering.” Finest Grown The charge of Sabbath breaking is also added to the offences Mr.Clark is alleged io have committed. He needn’t have started out with a wagon load of looks and a carpenter on Sunday, anyway” said one ciitic. “He had plenty of time to tlx those school house doors without taking that day for the job." NATIONAL GUARD OFFICERS AT ORONO. [nterestiug Manoeuvres By the Cadets—The Officers Much Pleased With the W ork.

The report was accepted and an ordei passed authoriz ing the mayor to collect said bill. When it reached the council there was much discus sion as to the justice of an item in the hill, and^Councilman Parshley said that the com pany had used the city scandalously in the past, that the bill was just and should be collected, and he asked that it be amended by adding that the hydrant rental due on May 15 be withheld until a settlement of the clai.n is effected. It was also amended by striking out the words “collect from” and have it read “demand of.” The order as amended went to the upper board where it was discussed at some length and they insisted on the former vote and appointed a committee of conference, which was made up as follows: Aldermen Low' and Stetson, Councilmen Fogg, Parsh ley and Bartlett. The committee reported in favor of amending the amendment so that it would read to withhold hydrant rental due ou November 15,- instead of May 15, The appropriation bill for $174,643.32 was passed.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. V _ \To Change Reported In Affairs at Nicaragua. TREATY BETWEEN NORWAY AND SWEDEN TO BE ABROGATED. 1 Spanish Officer Executed for Surrender ing to the Cuban Insurgeuts—The Lat ter are Growing in Strength—Russia Extending Her Trans-Caspian Railway Washington, May 1.—So for as can be [earned neither Secretary Gresham nor Minister Guzman has yet received a forma reply to Nicaragua's request tnat the British fleet should be withdrawn from [Jorinto as a preliminary to the agreement to pay the indemnity demanded in London within fiftpen days. Tho British foreign office usually acts with deliberation in mat ters of this kind. Nevertheless, the absence of any intimation that Great Britain has granted the request is regarded as ominous, and the friends of Nicaragua are somewhat discouraged. Rumors have reached here asserting that Great Britain has assented, and again that ahe has refused, but the fact appears to be that no authentic information as to the British conclusion has yet been given. Those who have talked with President Cleveland represent him as being strongly opposed to any interference on the part of the United States, his contention, bein^ that Great Britain is merely seeking repara tion for injuries to its subjects, and that when it has succeeded in this her forces will be at once withdrawn from the country. Funds Will Be Furnished For Nicaragua. Washington, May 1.—The Nicaraguan minister says there will ^be no difficulty iu securing satisfactory guarantee uf*the payment.of the indemnity;if Grout ;Brit ain accepts Nicaragua’s proposition.

Sir Charles Dilkesaid: “Japan is now much too strong for Russia m the Pacific, or even for Russia and France combined, until tney have bad a couple of months’ preparation. I don’t believe Germauy will send troops there in any event.” “Do you regard tbe situation as likely to result in hostilities between Russia and Japan?” “Well, one’s knowledge of the facts is so limited that it iB iutpossBible to give a definite opinion. But their relations could not be well he more strained than they are now without actual^far.” German Politics.

Joseph Motcailale master of tbe vessel. bad been found. No particulars were given. It will be remembered the Captain Metcalt’a disappearance was surrounded in a com plete mystery.

Flaistcd Arrested for Murder. MRS. SARAH L. TIBBETTS THE VIC TIM OF A CRIMINAL OPERATION. So the Officials of York County Think; anti They Allege That Dr. Plaisted Per formed It—He Denies This Charge—Au Ante-Mortem Declaration Involved. (Special to the PRESS.) Sanford, May 1.—This village was greatly shocked today when Deputy Sheriff Fogg arrested Dr. J. N. Plaisted, of this place, an established physician of the regular school, on charge of murder. The alleged victim was buried this after noon. She was Mrs. Sarah Ij. .Tibbetts, aged about twenty-seven years, and the divorced wife of Mr. Frank G. Tibbetts of this place. She has been working as a weaver in Mill No. 1 here, and also at other times as a table girl at the hotel. She was an attrac tive woman and there seems to have been considerable gossip about her. She was taken sick on April 19th, and died Monday morning about three o’clock. The arrest of Dr. Plaisted is said to have been determined on by reason of state ments, in the nature of a dying confession, made by the woman. Her brother, William Sanborn, brought the matter to the atten tion of County Attorney Emmons. It seems to be generally understood that the dying Ct>nfession*wttB made to Dr. J. H. Neal of Rochester, N. H., formerly of this place, who was summoned Sunday by Dr.Blagden. But both officials and physicians are very reticent in regard to the details of this ante-mortem statement. Dr. Plaisted denies absolutely that he performed any criminal operation. He was the attending physician until Friday, when Dr. Blagden Was called, 'ihere are more or less rumors of professional jealousy, and this afternoon Dr. Neal sent word to Dr. Plaisted denying that he had been at all actuated by such motives in anything that he had done in the matter. This afternoon Dr. C. A. Demnett of Bar Mills was present to assist Dr. Neal in making the autopsy. County Attorney Emmons had charge of affairs. Dr. Plaisted was at hla house. Deputy Sheriff Fogg guarding him there. During the afternoon he was in consultation with nis counsel. Hon. Frank Higgins of Limerick. It is not a baliabl offense. Dr. Plaisted is about forty-one years of age, and has been in Sanford about four years. He has a .child and wife, a very estimable lady who is prostrated by the affair. Dr. Plaisted graduated at the Maine Medical school, and has practiced in Pownal and Limerick. He is a native of Limerick While there he was named as co-respondent in a divorce suit, but when the case wau tried both he and the woman were speedily vindicated by the jury. Dr. Charles W. blagden was seen by the representative of the PRESS. “1 was called to the case last Friday night about five o’clock,” said the doctor. “I was told that the attending physician had not called during the day, and was away. The con dition of the young woman was such as to demand immediate attention. I found a condition of blood poisoning, and used ante septic douches. Knowing the case to be critical I tried Saturday to get Dr. J. H. Neal of Rochester. N. H., but did not sue- ceed. I did get him Sunday, however. The patient died about three o’clock Monday morning. She was in possession of her senses throughout her illness, and was con scious to the last.” “Did she make to you or Dr. Neal an ante-mortem statement?” “1 cannot speak in regard to that,” re plied the doctor. “Will you say what, in our opinion caused the young woman’s death?” “I have already signed a certificate stat ing that it was septicaema.” “And what was that caused by?” “I don’t want to say.” Dr. Blagden is a physician of the xegular school, a native of Blue Hill, Me., and u graduate of the Baltimore Medical college. He has been in Sanford about a yaer. Mrs. Clara Thompson, an intimuto friend of the deceased, who helped take care of her during her last hours, says that on Wed nesday afternoon Mrs. Tibbetts mude some remark to the effect that Dr. Plaisted was not doing all he ought, and spoke of calling in another doctor. Mrs. Thompson rather advised] against this, as it might offend Dr. Plaisted, whom she might want to call again. Mrs. Tibbetts then wont on to say that Dr. Plaisted had nothing do do with the cause of her illness. Kev. C. L. Woodworib, pastor of the Con gregational.oburoh at Sanford, since the be ginning oi the year, spoke very positively to the PRESS concerning the high standing of Dr. Piaisted in the community. “You may sny for me,” said lie to the PRESS, “that Dr. Piaisted stands very high in this community as a physician, a man and a Christian. Ue is a member of a church in another place, but attends at my church. I should be surprised to bear the least breath of suspicion against him, and I have not the slightest doubt that be will be fully vindicated. I believe that the people of this place will generally agree with me in this. No intimations are given hero as to the man who was respesibie for the victims trouble. It ir believed that even if she knew she did not disclose his name. Those who know Dr. Piaisted say that he is a very independent man, little given to policy whether dealing with the public or professional associates. While a physician in regular standine he has departed in one instance at least, from tlie general usage. This was in the case of the St. Andrews Society. This society, composed of natives of the British Isles, have introduced the oustoiu of hiring a physician for a fixed sum toatlendall cases of illness among their membership. Dr. Piaisted in this way made a contract with the society, instead of deal ing with them in the regular American way. Mrs. Tibbetts was a native of Connecti cut, and came to Sanford oight or ten years ago. Her divorce from her husband was granted about a year ago. Mr. Tibbetts was tho complainant and tbo allegation was adultery. There seems to be little doubt that the woman knew that she must die for a con siderable time before the end came. The reticence of all concerned as to the alleged dying coniesaion soems due lo the caution of the officers in charge of the caso. County Attorney Emmons is quoted as saying that he had a very strong case, which must mean that he considers the dying declaration in proper form, it does not appear at present that thore is other evidence. A PRESS repiesentative called on Dr. Plaisted this afterucou. Deputy Sheriff Fogg answered the bell, and said that Dr. Plaisted was in consultation with hislawyer. Beyond making a denial of the ehargo against him, he declined to talk for publica tion. The hearing which was to have been held at Saco today has been postponed until nest Wednesday by request of Attorney Higgins. SOS OF AMERICAS REVOLUTION. 6th Auuual Congress Held at Boston Yesterday. The Society Will Urge That the Govern ment Use the Historic Frigate Constitu tion As a National Naval Museum. Boston,May 1—The 6tii annual congress of the Sons of American Revolution con vened at the CJkl Soutli meeting house today. The attendance was large and great enthusiasm prevailed. Gen.

Boston, May 1.—The American Wool and (Jotton Reporter will say tomorrow of the wool trade: The domestic market is steady, and, considering the amount of stock that there is here to do with, there has been a fairly good business in progress. There has been a fair attendance of manufact urers, representing all lines of product ion, who have just taken just what they yond the academy. have needed and no more. Stocks of domestic! wools are as well reduced as they are ordinarily at this time of the year—on the same lines, in fact, there^is scarcely any available stock. Rut what deficit there is, is made by the extra amount of foreign wool which is in ttie market. Of the latter there is a full sup ply, present and prospective. If this were not so, there is no question that there would have been a hardening in prices for domestic stock. But aB it is, there has neen no snap to the business, and prices for domestic wools have failed to appreciate to the slightest extent. The market has con tinued along on the same level of values. The London sales, which opened Tues day of this week, were awaited with un usual interest, in view pf the strength exhibited at the close of the ia*t series, and pending the announcement of their opening, a great many held off from op erating. Those who had been looking for higher prices were disappointed by tbe intelligence cabled over on Tuesday that there had been a decline of 2 1-2 to 5 per cent on some lines. This fact, to gether with the low prices ruling at the American seaboard has proved a damper for some of the sanguine ones who are reporied as having paid disproportionate ly high prices in the country for some of the early shorn wools. Reports have continued of exorbitant prices being paid in the interior. However much truth there may he in this kind of in telligence, certain it is that Tallies at the seaboard are as low ns they have been at any time, and in the absence of any improvement abroad, it remains to be seen how some of those who have operated in the early shorn wools will come out whole. The sales of the week amount to 1,929,100 pounds domestic and 1,417,000 foreign, making a total of 3,819,300 for the 'previous week, and a total of 2,318,800 pouuds'for the corre sponding week last ye lr. The sales since January 1, 1895, i mount to 53,129,050 pounds, against 44,48g,200 pounds a year go. The sales in New York amount to 1,857,000 pounds. The sales in Philadel phia aggregate 1,373,700 pounds. Tho Finding of the Jury in the Elbe In vestigation. London, May l.-Tbe Elbe investigation was resumed at Lowestoft this morning. The coroner in summing uu tl.e evidence said it was clear that the damage sustained by the Crathie in the collision prevented her from proceeding on her voyage. As to the. collision itself, it was for the jury to decide whether it was due to gross and culpable negligence and, if so. to ascertain who was to blame. Tho jury returned a ver dict that, in their opinion the collision was due to gross negligence on the part of the mute and lookout man o' the 0 rat hie. It May bo a Murder. Rehoboth, Mass., May 1.-James Briggs of this town, aged 59, was supposed to have committed suicide last Monday night. lie had acted in a queer manner for s< time, but no ona supposed that lie would take his own life. His body was found hanging in an old barn on liis premises. Evidence has now been found that leads up to the theory that Briggs was murdered._ Narrowly Escaped Burning. Bath, May 1.—Fixe early Wednesday morn ing partially destroyed a dwelling house on Richardson street. Bat h, owned and occu pied by John McDougall. Four small chil dren sleeping in the upper part of tho house where the lire started, were nearly suffo cated. Their rescue by Mr. McDougall was made in a blinding smoke. The less on the house is estimated at 23000,covered by insur ance. Eight dresser tenders at the Farwell Woolen mill at Central Falls, struck yester day. The strike is ono of smypatby, for the weavers who struck in the morning. A KANSAS CYCLONE. left a Track of Ruin 16 Miles Long. TEN PERSONS WERE KILLED AND MANY OTHERS INJURED. Narrow Escape of a Santa Fe Train—The Path of the Storm Fined With Carcasses of Animals and Kuins of Buildings. Hutchinson, Kansas, May l.-* A cyclone struck about a mils south of Patterson, fomo twenty miles from here this afternoon and for 6ixtoeu miles m a north westerly direction left death and ruin on a path one hundred yards to a quarter of a mile in width. Ten persons were killed and twenty injured, of whom three will die, and there were numerous narrow escapes from death. Many residences were demolished, and damaged, and barns, outbuildings and or chards were destroyed. The pathway of the storm is lined with carcasses of dead horses, cattle, hogs and other animals. The loss will be great, as the district visited was settled by well-to-do farmers. A west bound passenger train on the Santa Fe road was held at Halstead until the 6torm passed. Where the storm crossed the track the telegraoh lines, poles and all were swept away. The train would certainly have been wrecked had it gone ahead. CHICAGO SWINDLERS. Swindled An Unfortunate Canadian Out of $1000. Montreal, May 1.— Recently an adver tisement appeared in the local papers fora partner willingito invest $1000 in a business from which he could draw $450 a month. One Smith answered and was directed to call on Nugent Wil liams, financial agents, who explained the nature of the business, and he hand ed over.the money. Nugent Williams then left for parts unknown. It now turns out that they are advance agents era are in Chicago,with branches in Bos ton, New York and elsewhere. Nugent Williams professed to deal in stocks and real estate and accepted merchandise in payment for what proves to have been bogus scrip. The Peculiar Case of Dr. Buchanan. Washington,Mayi.—The Supreme court officials say if Warden Sage of Sing Sing literally “construes the letter (of Deputy Attorney General Hasbrouck of 7New York in the Buchanan case and fol lows its directions. Dr.Robert W. Buch anan has an unlimited lease of life. The deputy attorney general’s letter to the warden advises him “to deier the exe cution of the sentence against Dr.Buch anan until appeal claimed to hate been taken shall have been dismissed or deter mined.” Inasmuch as no appeal is docketed on the records of the Supreme court the officials say there is nothing to lie dismissed or 'determined. As far us the Supreme court is concerned that tribunal does not know Dr. BuchanaD; his fate remains wholly with the state authorities. The DebtStatement.

BELIEVES HE yiUST.OEFER UP HIS SON AS A SACRIFICE. It Is Befived that Continued Brooding Ov’ or Beligiou Has Turned Ilis Mind—He Is Violently Iusane and Is Constantly Guarded. (Special to the PRESS.) Brownfield, May 1.—“I shall take njy two little ones to the top of a higji hill, stand at one end of a line draWu in the ground and let God decide which oue must he sacrificed.” Such was the slate. meut made by Rev. Sidney Linscott of West Brownfield, in whose disordered brain the belief thal he must offer oue of his children as a sacrifice, is just now the chief idea. He is what the neighbors cail “Bible crazy.” In other words he iB suffering from acute mania on religious topics. A'ears ago, Mr. Lin scott had ian attack of insauity, but he completely recovered. Some years after he married aud now has two little chil dren. Mr. Linscott is ir Seventh Day Ad ventist aud is one of the preachers of that denomination. His living, how ever, has come from the small farm on which he lives and where he has a flour ishing maple orchard. A man of upright character and scholarly disposition, he has made the study of the Bible an im portant part of his life. So strict was he iu the observance of the doctrines peculiar to his sect, that on Saturday, which ha observed as the Sabbath, he would not even talk of secular affaire. uuioim uiuj ua*c utou uuc taunn in his insanity, it manifested itself first iu an increased devotion to bis studies of tne Scriptures. Mrs. Linscott says that during the winter, her fiusbaud would frequently arise in the middle of the night and, saying that lie could not sleep, go to his desk aud begin writing, continuing his labors sometimes all through the hours of the uight aud far into tue next day. A great pile of man uscript, embodying his views on scriptu ral subjects is the result of these mid night labors of a man already partially insane. His delusion that he must make a sacrifice of one of his children, shows how near death the little ones may have beeu during the time their father was engaged in these labors. Last Wednesday people first became aware of the fact that Linscott is vio lently insane. On this day he appeared in the village street preaching and de nouncing secret societies. He took the forenoon train on the Maine Central for Portland, hut his actions were so strange that he was put off the train at the first stopping place and sent hack to Brown field. Since that time Mr.Linscott has been watched, hut he has twice escaped from his keepers. Once witu five meu sitting in the room at about midnight, he calm ly walked through a doorway which the watcher supposed led to another part of the house. Instead it commu nicated with the outside and Linscott made off in the darkness, taking to the thick woods aud making his way for a mile through the dense underbrush to the house of his father,, where he was kept until he could he sent home. Numerous scratchis on his face, indicate how the poor man struggled along m his flight through the forest. Only last uight he escaped from two watchers and broke into his wife’s room. Last week n young man named Wm. Keuuard was employed to watch Liu scott. He saw one night what might happen if his charge carried out some of his insane fancies. Kennara was sit ting in a chair, leaning back with his eyes half closed. Linscott supposed that Kennard was asleep, softly stole from (lie sofa where he was lying and crossed the room to the cabinet in which lie has kept his razor. “Lord, do you wish me to cut his throat?” said the preacher, and then added as if repeating au answer: “The Lord says uo.” “Lord, do you wish me to jump upon him aud crush him?” Again to his disordered mind he re ceived an answer in the negative. Ho then asked if he should run away, and was in the act of leaving the room when Kennard stopped'bim. The razor which Linscott supposed was in the cabinet had, of course, been removed. Kennard has been obliged to return to his own home and since then the neighbors have been taking turns in watching their townsman, two being on duty by day and two by night. Lin scott’s friends have naturally been re luctant to send him to the insane asy lum. but as there is reported to be uo change for the better in his condition today, he will probably have to he placed in confinement. He is apparently brooding all the time on the sacrifice that he believes he has been called upon to perform. Once he called upon the watchers for a knife with which to cut off his little hoy’s head and, upon being told that there was uo suitable knife in the house, directed that a case knife be sharpened. At another time, be an nounced that he must kill either one of his own children "or iiis brother's little boy, adding that be should prefer to kill his nephew. He is confined in own home where his wife and children are still living. Besides his brooding over religions topics, it is said that bis generous dispo sition may be partly responsible for Linscott’s condition. It is one of the tenets of his sect that none of their poor people shall be allowed to become paupers. About a year ago, two women, mother aud daughter, in need, and members of the Seventh Day Advent church, were given a home by Linscott, the society helping to meet their expen ses. Tqe mother is very old aud the daughter herself an elderly woman, is bedridden. Some time ago, Mr. Linscott went fo one of the selectmen aud told bim thnt the care of these women was killing his wife. He was evidently great ly disturbed about the mutter and dis cussed the possibility of his having to put the women in the town’s charge. They are still at his house, i nd so tbo modest dwelling shelters a strange fami ly, the two women, poor and helpless, the father," threatening to take the life of one of his little children, and the grief-stricken wife and little ones. Both Mr.and Mrs.Linscott are estimfible peo ple and have the sympathy of the com munity in their trouble. Mr. Linscott has constant medical attendance, and it is hoped that he may recover his reason. Today’s pews, however, is not reassur ing. Maine Patents. Washington, May 1—The following patents wera granted to Maine people: W. Dawson, Southwest Harbor, computing scale; J. A. Lidback.

In six games, Captain Davis of New York, has made a batting average of 545. llassamer and Cartwright of Washington, have fielding averages of one thousand in tbe first six games. This is an early season, and yet many games liuve been postponed by rain in New England. In Baltimore Tue>iday,the grounds were all afloat and altogether the weather lias given baseball quile.a black eye. Better wait for good weather and start the season a iittle later. A baseball grand staud in the last of April in New England is about the bent place to catch cold in that there is in this world. The postponed Portland game with the New Bedfords Saturday, will be played off there next Tuesday. Captain McGeachy of Augusta, will be out of tiie game at least two weeks. His thumb nail is split in all directions. Todd must be a fancy twirier to hold tLe Ken no bees down to one single. Fall River appeared Monday in new suits of Poyal blue with three colors of red in the cap, belt az.d stockings.

New York, May 1.—A number of Cubans arrived on the Vigilancia from Havana to day. A resident of Cuba, who did not wish his name made public, said: “The insuigents are gaining strenght as tue war is protracted. The fighting is most ly confined to the country districts, bnt it is false to say that only negroes are curry ing on the war. There are many native Cubans of pure Spanish blood. “When the insurrection started the rebels were badly equipped with arms, but that difficulty has been overcome. When in San tiago, two weeks ago, I heard that 1510 rifles and 20,000 rounds cf ammunition had been landed on the coast about "5 miles east of that place. “It was said that the guns had been shipped from a southern port in the United States. They were transferred to u schooner and quietly landed on the Cuban coast* Arms had been landed at different points of Cuba during the past two months despite the patrol kept up by the Spanish gunboats. “There has been no very Dig battle be tween tbe opaniah soldiers and the rebels. There have been small encounters in which the rebels were generally defeated, when the government usually exaggerated the number of rebels killed. The rebels are gaining in discipline and bravery by their experience.” Maine Pensions. Washington, May 1.—The following Maine people have been granted pen?v sions: Original—James E. White, Bradley.

The Westbrook Trust Company yester day paid its ninth semi-annual dividend on its stock. It closes its fifth yeat of business with a total deposit of $243, 122.20. It has a total loan on discount accounts of $202,988.84, of this amount it has loaned out at the present time to buaiiiess^men ami citizens of .Westbrook, $175,000. It has paid out to stockholders and depositors iu interest during tbe five years of existence $30,304.98. This company has proved in tne conduct of its business what^was claimed for it by its friends that it would be a local in stitution. It is now and always has been the policy of tbe managers that tbe money of its depositors shall, so far as can be done safely, be loaned to local business interests for the building up of tne city of Westnrook. It can therefore be seen that it is lor the interest of every citizen who is interested in the prosperity of Westbrook to deposit its mousy with them where it can and will be used for local improvement. Tbe business outlook for Westbrook is much more encouraging than it was one year ago. All of (our manufactories are running to their lull capacity and fair prospects that they will continue for sometime; the wages have not been raised yet to what they were before tbe panic struck us, but if business contin ues to look encouraging no doubt this will come iu no very distant time.

A Curious Substance Cast Up by the Sea and Worth More than its Weight in Gold—Notes from the Establishment oi Portland Perfume Makers. Id the windows of the store of Messrs. Scklotterbeck Foss are to be seen small quantities of gray and black am bergris. This substance, one of the most mysterious and valuable in tbe world, is rarely displayed to public view, and while many have beard of it, few have seen it. Tbe gray ambergris, at wholesale figures, costs as high as thirty dollars an ounce or higher. The dark ambergris costs as high as twenty dollars an ounce. The ambergris is about the consistency of decayed hard wood, very brittle with a pronounced tendency to crumble. The odor is very peculiar, as if the stuff had been packed away a long time in the tombs of Egypt. It resembles dry broken clay. The gray is finer and harder to obtain than the black. The two kinds are found Bide by sisde. Ambergris is gen erally supposed to bo a secretion from the stomach of a dyspeptic whale. It is found floating od the sea, particularly in the Southern hemisphere, where it is of ten cast upon the shores. The pieces are generally small, but have weighed as high as 300 pounds. Ambergris consists of a peculiar fatty matter called ambrein. It was long regarded as a cordial and anti-spasmodic, useful in typhoid fevers and nervous dis eases. In these days, however, it is used al most entirely in the manufacture of fine perfumes. Its office is that of “fixer” to give a body to hold the odor. Helio trope, violet and^other delicate perfumes are made with ambergris. Weeks Potter, of Boston, many years ago made a great stroke in buying at New Bedford several barrels of ambergris, which the whalers did not know the value of. Since then this firm have been headquarters for ambergris, the great Paris perfumers looking to them for sup plies. Messrs. Schlottebeck Foss use the ambergris in the manufacture of per fumery, which is conducted iu their ex tensive laboratory. Perfume manufac turers in this country do not generally extract it from the flowers. That is done by the great Paris establishments, who get violets, roses, etc., from all parts of Europe. With these flowers and a cer tain greasy substance resembling lard they mak^n pomade which retains the delicate principle in which resides the odor of the flower. This pomade is sold to those who make the perfumery of commerce. The process of making the perfumery from the pomade is long and delicate, Hnd so little practised in this country that cbe machinery has to he bought in France. SOUTH PORTLAND. The May carnival or the opera of the May Queen, occurs at the Union opera house next Friday and [Saturday eve nings with Saturday matinee. The opera has long been in preparation, and under the able supervision of Mrs.E.T.Nich ols, bids fair to be the finest production of anything of the kind ever attempted in South Portland. The cast embraces about 30 youug people. The proceeds of the carnival will go for the benefit of the South Portland library association, and since all feel personally interested in the library’s welfare and improve ments, they will of course attend this carnival and make it a grand success. Mr. George Broughton has returned from Lynn where he has been engaged as foreman on a contract job. Why don’t the ladies organize a cycle club? One sees about as mauy lady cyc lists now as they do men. Dr. Sawyer of Pleasautdals had a nar row escape from injury at Cash’s corner Tuesday, his horse taking fright, throw iug him out of the carriuge, and giving him a severe shaking up. The horse was cut up and the carriage badly broken. Mr. George W.Cash has leased one o{ his houses to Portland parties. IMPORTANT TO HORSEMEN. They Must Make Their Entries in Due Form—A Circular of General Interest. The managers of the Blaine track are finding it hard to make owners of horses understand that entries must be made in a proper way. In one case recently n man sent entry money for a, dozen horses and when written to for a corrected entry was surprised that any fault was found in the first instance. Horsemen are careless in making on tries. .Many think it sufficient to name thsir horse and enclose payment. When the horse’s name does not appear in the Year Book classification is almost im possible. Some such letter as this is being constantly received by secretaries of the Various tracks: Queenstown, Apirl 1. Secy. Enclosed find §20, first payment upon my borse Sandy Jim, In your Oc tober stakes. Yours, Kano BIcKaue. Kigby in such cases replies as follows: Portland, April 3. Kane McKane, Esq. Dear Sir. Yours, containing $20, first payment upon horse Sandy Jim in onr October stakes received and credited. We have uamed Sandy Jim in Free-for all paco with Robert J., Jo Patchen and John R. Gentry. If not correct please advise. Yours resp’y, Rigby Management. This usually brings corrected entry. The following circular has been sent by the Rigby management to many of the local clubs and other organizations: Gentlemen: It is the desire of the management having the details of the New England Fair in hand to give a floral parade, Wednesday, Aug. 2Sth, which shall not only command the ap probation of our citizeus but that of onr visitors. It is thought, with a little effort, we can this season lay the founda tion of an annual floral parade, some thing upon the principle of the BJardi Gras at New Orleans, which will draw tuuuMiuua mi uui uu/. miiu iuio iuoa iu view we would ask your association to contribute a piece, either typical of your organization, or appropriate to the occasion. Yours respectfully, New England Fair Management, Per H.F.Farnham. If any club does not receive the above they will understand that the invitation is general, and is to be so regarded. STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST. The study of birds is to be introduced in the Lewiston schools.

At a meeting of the Weaver’s union of Lewiston Monday afternoon it was voted to resume work at the Androscoggin mill Tuesday morning pending a finel settle ment. What with an Androscoggin county woman testifying that her husband put a dead skunk m her clothespress and a Cumberland county woman that her husband, a church member, lepeatediy beat her, marriage infelicities in Maine courts the past few days have been rather sensational. Preparations are in order for Arbor day and many a sapling will then be planted, the Kennebec Journal says. “It would bo very iuterestiug to know bow many trees have been set out in this State since the first observance of this day. Around many residences and pub lic buildiugs in the various cities and towns iu Maine are handsome shade trees which were set out on Arbor day.” The West river drive, 4,500,000 feet, has reached Stillwater boom, and is now being manufactured iDto the best quality of lumber that has been turned out by the mills for many years."

New Gloucester. Sabbath Day Lake, May 1. The truant officers are around compelling the attend ance of those scnolars who from force of habit are usually absent from school. This will remove quite a good deal of responsibility from the teachers.

It is hoped that this new method will continue, for the time has long since nnnn lir nrVinn cohnlaru clinnl'l 1 o nnovorl i of hired to go to school any more in the country than they are in the city.

HENKY B. CLEAVES. By the Governor, NICHOLAS FESSENDEN, Secretary of State. New Yorkers are disappointed because the police census shows a population of only 1,800,000. At last 2,000,000 was ex pected. The Naples school war is not likely to bo productive of bloodshed, unless the boys get to taking sides with the rival teachers. In that event it might be necessary to call out the militia. Yellow fever is said to have broken out among the Spanish troop in Cuba al ready, and the SDanish soldiers are fast dropping out of the ranks. The condi tions are all favorable for its continued and increasing prevalence. The compliments our government is teceiving from the English newspapers for its action in the Nicaraguan matter are about all of that kind of thing it is getting. Comments on this side of the water are of a different kind. If President Cleveland has any aspira tions for a third term he might as well aDannon tneni. ine attempt to nomi nate Gen.Grant, who was infinitely more popular than President Cleveland, dem onstrated the futility of third term move ments. Secretary Morton volunteers this defini tion of sound money “Sound money” is that sort of currency which has the most universal and least fluctuating purchasing power in the markets of ail countries. That money is the “soundest" tor which tbrougiiont the commerce of the civilized world there is the most universal demand. And that, universal demand is always based upon the universal and unfluctuating purchasing power of that money. The government’s revenues fell $9,0C0, 000 short cf expenditures last month. Secretary Carlisle’s rosy predictions of an overflowing treasury are not likely to be realized in the near future. Next month a big lot of interest on bonds must be paid and the only way to pay it will he by use of the proceeds of the last bond sale. The government’s finan ciering is getting to resemble that o! Mrs.Howe’s famous woman’s hank. Senator Voorhees follows the other Western and Southern Democratic states men in favor of free coinage of silver. Voorhees has probably always been that way, though in the last Congress he led the administration forces in the Senatt in favor of the repeal of the Sherman purchasing act, and for a time posed as the champion of the administration’s financial views. It was more than sus pected at that time, however, that his heart was not in the work. Mr. Cleveland’s campaign for sound money doesn’t seem to have sensibly ar rested the flocking of Democrats to the free silver standard. Since the campaign was begun Vest, Harris, Crisp, Black burn, Voorhees and a host of lesser lights hare taken great pains to announce to the country that they are not training in the President’s sound money company and do not intend to. Apparently that company is chiefly composed of Cabinet officers, collectors and postmasters—that is drafted men. Not a volunteer, appar ently, has'eniisted under the President’s banner. The first trial under the suicide law which has recently beeu placed on the New York statute books, has taken place and the law has been found to be a rather unsatisfactory arrangement. A young girl, arrestedj for taking poison, was brought before the Court of General Sessions and charged with the offence. It was proved that she told somebody she wanted to die and that she was suffering from undoubted evidences of poison when she was brought to a hos pital. That apparently should have sufficed to convict her, but Recorder Goff did not think the evidence was strong enough and directed the jury to acquit, which it did. “Suppose,” says ex-Cougressman Van Voorhees, “that Great Biitaiu, which bus au alleged claim against this govern ment for damages to Canadian sealers in Behriug Sea, should fix the sum which it wants in reparation of those damages, at say §500,000, which in reality it has done, and should send her warships to the harbor of New York aud take posses sion of that city. The case would be an exact parallel to the Nicaraguan inci dent. Why does not the British govern ment take that course to collect the claim she makes against us, now that Congress has declined to pay it? Simply because it dare not do so.” That is put ting the case fairly. England refuses Nicaragua arbitration because Nicaragua is weak and can make no effective resis tance. She sets her own damages, and when Nicarauga questions the amount, she curtly informs that little country that she intends to be judge, jury and if 1ICCU UC CACUUUUUCl. Precisely what the powers are contem plating with reference to the treaty be tween China and Japan is far from clear. What they profess is that they are advis ing Japan in a friendly way to renounce that part of the treaty which cedes to her a portion of the Chinese peninsula. But it is not at all probable that Russia and Germany have been hurrying their ministers to Tokio simply from a friendly desire to prevent the Mikado from mak ing a mistake on his own account. Beneath this apparent anxiety for Japan’s interests is a reul anxiety for their own. Japan is looming up as alto gether too big a power in the East to suit Russia. The possession of the Chinese peninsula gives her a vantage ground that Russia, which has or may have ambitious designs in that neighborhood, does not wish her to enjoy. Friendly counsel, if it be rejected, will most prob ably be followed by pressure; and if Japaq resists the renewal of hostilities in the East is among the possibilities. A PIGEON FARMER. A Fine Business Opportunity for a Clever VV Oman. Any young woman whose time is not wholly occupied by more Eerious duties, who can beg or borrow the use of a rain proof stable loft, and is able to venture So or |6 in an experimental investment, can find a charming and profitable in dustry in pigeon culture, says the St. Paul Pioneer-Press. The charm of it lies in the birds them selves, graceful, gentle, cleanly, harm less, noiseless creatures, who flutter down at the call of a friendly voice, arch their uecks humbly at the touch of a car essing hand and Jena to a barnyard that air of prosperous domesticity the sleek house cat gives to a bright fireside. But the modern enterprising young woman who goes in for things is apt to ask where is the silver lining to this rosy cloud? She can find out for herself by a trip to the city markets where the de mand for fat squabs always exceeds the supply, since game has become less plen tiful and white fleshed poultry fails to satisfy the exacting palates of well fed A mericans. The year round a brace of squabs fetches 5U cents in the mart ets and where game is all but an impossibility to se cure, flue squabs sell as high as 75 cents per pair. This simple listing of prices that pre vail in all the cities and big towns, sug gests in itself a possible golden future for whoever gets a barn loft and a few pairs of pigeons and sets about raising the healthy birds. They ask but few requisites to thrive and multiply and are very much less troumesome ana expensive rnan enicK ens. One young girl who will supply herself with a little practical information beforehand can manage a cote of a hun dred pigeons by devoting one hour iu twenty-four to their consideration. If she is at all a clever and energetic person she will soon of her own volition multiply her hour and interest two or three times and feel it not labor lost, but pleasure and money gained, for their very presence and the opportunity to study them is a growing delignt, while the quick return iu money for time and capital invested will inspire her to great er effort. However, as in all initial ventures, it is best to begin on a small scale. Let a woman who can command the requisites enumerated lay out five dollars in a basket full of full grown, healthy barn pigeons or “common pigeons,” ns they are generally known. Markings make little difference provid ed the birds are clean, iu good condition and about six months old. They should not cost more than 60 or 70 cents apiece. Before even this step is taken it is we] to find your market. That is, consider where you will he able to make steady sales of the squabs. Anyone living within an hour by rail of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis or Chicago can depend on disposing of their produce at the city marekts. Summer hotels are excellent depots for sales, or in neighbor hoods where there are many country summer houses a cliactele of regular patrons will not be hard to secure, lixiug the price at 40 or 50 cents per brace. The barn loft referred to is the place of all others in which these birds will most readily set up permanent house keeping and to put a loft or corner of one into condition for pigeons is both easier and more inexpensive than attempting to build a separate house. In a corner six feet square fifty birds will live most contentedly. Ths roof must he rain proof and the floor and walls fortified against rats and cats. Where a corner is to be utilized enclose it from floor to roof with wire netting of the sort u«ed in chicken yards and car pet the floor with sheet" tin, carrying this up two or thrse feetaicni> the walls. In the barn wall shape out two rows oi holes that the pigeons may have free entrance and exit. Arrange two sets of perches across the top of the wire enclos ure, strew the floor with sand and fine grave], provide a couple of feed basins and earthernware water bowls, and nail against the barn wall little boxes, or fit into wire frames, fastened ou the net ting, earthenware cups, as proffers for nesting. Behold the pigeon house swept and garnished, into which the iirst inhabi tants should be shut for at least twenty four hours. Pigeons are natural colon ists and yet obstinate home lovers, lor where they find the conditions in the least comfortable and kindly there thoy will settle down in content to rear their young. If a kitchen garden lies near this new made cote, or there is a farmer friend whose outlying cornfield is overlooked by the stable windows, have no fear of complaints of marauding birds from the loft. Pigeons eat only what they find lying on the surface of their feeding grounds and do not dig, as do the pirate cock and hen, for the secrets of the sower. In fact, if carefully fed in tbeir own loft, they rarely venture far from the barn’s eaves and roof. Vary the prepared d,et with only such grass seeds and insects as tempt well satisfied appe tites. Cracked Indian corn and wheat serves as a good reuglar diet for them, and a handful of hemp seed makes them so tame that when at intervals of two or three days it is offered, all the birds, with cooings and coaxing gestures, will cluster fearlessly about the feeder. She who is their owner can teach them to gather at her feet, on her shoulders, arms and head by personally visiting and inspecting their loft every day. She will have it cleaned and freshly graveled at least once in ten days, taking suco precautions against vermin as are fol lowed in a chicken house. Every day fresh food should till the basins, from which all the old corn must be turned out, clean water provided for the bowls, and when a pair of squabs have been disposed of the old nesting straw ought to be burned and fresh lining supplied. It is by these simple precautions that the pigeons are kept healthy, for barn birds are usually stronger than any of the fancy breeds, that are certainly beau itful, but are more trouble, though they hatch more profitable progeny than the common kind. The barn pigeon broods four, five or eggs in a nest she makes of just a wisp of stiaw, in a box or bowl, and with the aid of her mate hatches her eggs in about eighteen days. The parents see to the feeding of their young, who grow rapidly, and in two months, or three at the most, are ready for market. In five months a squab is looking out for a mate, and six months after hatching a pigeon is not fit to eat, so tough has it become. One woman who began a few years ago on Long Island to raise pigeons in con nection with her poultry farm bought a half dozen puir of common fowl. To a neighboring hotel and the well-to-do residents of the country side she sold her year’s hatch of squabs, clearing S50. The next year she invested in six pairs of haudsome fan tails and tumblers at SI.50 per pair. The expense and trouble of caring for these was scarcely greater than for her first birds, since she only enlarged the nesting capacity, provided ground oyster shell for the daintier palates of her new guests and gave them a prepared food of Indian corn, Canada pease, wheat and millet. She let these birds fly freely with the common pigeons and ns good fan tails will breed as many as eight or ten pairs of squabs a year her income exactly trebled. Just now tbe poultry farm is in course of active transformation into a pigeon farm. Her intention is to breed common pigeons for trap shooting. Gun clubs pay ns high a 50 ana 60 cents per pair tor birds five months old and will take ns many as 150 at a time. From the hardier breeds of tumblers, pouters, fan tails, turbots, etc., she will raise squabs for market, and is cheerfully confident that there is no more agreeable, lucrative employment yet found for women than working among these flocks of ruffled, cooing, gentle birds.

Deliverable and payable on or before June 1st, 1895. Price 105 and interest (yielding a net return of about 4b per cent) subject to advance without notice. These bonds are dated May 1st, 1893, payable without option twenty years af ter date, with interest at 4| per cent per annum, payable semi-annually on the first days of May and November; principal and iuterest payable in United States gold coin of the present standard of weight and fineness. Of the total authorized mortgage, $180,000 bonds are already outstanding, and $220,000 will now bo issued for equipping the whole system with elec tricity; of this $220,000, we shall receive for delivery $150,000 on or before June 1st, which are advertised herewith; we shall offer no move of the bonds until August, 1895. The charter of the Railroad was granted in 1800, and is perpetual. This mortgage is a first lien on all the fran chises, rights and property (including real estate and equipment) situated in the Cities of Portland, Deering and The length of track is 20.14 miles, making the bonded indebtedness less than $20,000 per mile. The earnings for 1894 were as fol lows dross, $207,552.20 Expenses and taxes, 109,979.78 Net, $37,572.42 Interest, 8,622.34 Surplus, $28,950.08 It will be noticed first, that the operat ing expenses, which included 2 new cars, 4 motors, 1 snow plough, 1 mile new track, etc., were over 80 per cent of the gross earnings, and second, that the net earnings were sufficient to pay the in terest on bonds then outstanding, plus this new block of $220,000, twice over. It is conservatively estimated that the increase in earnings and decrease in ex penses (due to electricity) will be at least sufficient to pay interest on the whole indebtedness, additional to the present large earnings. The capital stock is $300,000, which sells in the home market at 115 to 120 and pays 6 per cent dividends. The surplus is over $75,000. An expert’s estimate of the savings to to the road, by making the change to electricity in 1895, over what the same would have cost in 1892, is at least $150,000, due to present low prices of rails, motors cars, etc. These bonds are a legal investment for Maine Savings Banks, $175,000 of those outstanding being now owned by the Portland Savings Bank. We feel fully justified in recommend ing them as a particularly choice invest ment, returning a better income than aDy other home security of similar standing.

MUSIC AND DRAMA. Anna Eva Fay. At the Portland theatre last evening, this remarkable woman proved herself to be just as remarkable as ever,and per formed her experiments to the entire sat isfaction and perplexity of her audience. Augustus F.Moulton, Esq., and Joseph B.Reed, Esq., were unanimously elected to go upon the stage and see that every thing was all right, which tlAy accord ingly proceeded to do. After Miss Fay was tied and plastered and sewed and nailed riveted and double-locked, to the upright post, Mr. Moulton held the cord that was fastened to her ankles, and Mr.Reed helped place the canopy over her. It should be noted that Mr.Reed sewed up the bandage so well that one woman gin the audience was willing to wager that he’d “darned his own stock ings before now.” Mr.Moulton evidently was lacking in such valuable experience, for he pricked his iingers/mucli to the delight of every body but himself. When the time came for the handsom est of the two to enter the cabinet with Miss Fay, there was a very edifying display of modesty, but finally Mr.Moul ton sat down inside. His hands were placed on sheets of paper on a tambou rine in Miss Fay’s lap and a'cloth and tin pnirover his bead, After the lifting of the curtain disclosed the removal of the paper and the writing on it, etc. Mr. Moulton was asked to say what he thought? about it. He said he didn’t know what to think. Her body certainly did not move, but her hands seemed to De moving auuut in a very uveiy lhsii ion. Messrs. Moulton anil Reed were a de cided addition to the evening’s entertain ment. Friends. A play that can survive two dramatic seasons these days must surely have some considerable merit. Edwin Milton Royle’s charming comedy-drama, “Friend which was seen here last seas on and is to make its second visit next Friday and Saturday evenings, ha not only survived two seasons but made them both successful and is now on a third tour, which has proven even more triumphaut than the previous ones. The season of the company opened Aug. 6th of last vear and since then the record has been one of continued success for play and players, crowded houses and brilliant audiences greeting the company in every city in which they have ap peared. “Friends" is a play richly de serving the success It is meeting with, for a more interesting, clean, wholeseme dramatic story has not been given to the stage iu a period of several years. Edwin Milton Royle the author, Lucius Hen derson, the actor-pianist, Harry Allen and Sel6na Fetter-Rovle, who last season essayed the principal parte, will again be seen iu their respective roles next Fri day and Saturday evenings. Aristocracy. Next Monday evening Mr. Charles Frohman’s fine romps ny of players from Now York, will appear at City Hal! in the testimonial to Mr. Elliott C. Mitchell, iu one of the great popular and dramatic successes of the day “Aristocracy.” Iu reference to this society drama, whose plot was published in yesterday’s PRESS, it is sufficient to say that it is interpreted by a cast sucb as is rarely seen in a‘city of tbe size of Portland. Chandler’s full military band of twen ty-six pieces will jirovide tbe music. The advertisement shows how tickets for re served seats can be exchanged. Center iVICUOweu utivu iue reserveu settle. May Day Carnival, The ladies of Bosworth Reliof Corps have good reason to ho proud of the success of their May day carnival at City Hall yesterday. At the matinee numbers were turned away who couldn’t secure seats or standing room, and the hall was a sight to behold. Everywhere a child could find a roosting place, whether the hack of a settee or a window seat, there he or she, was located. Over 400U people were in the hal'. At the evening performance there was an enoimous bouse, although not as large as at the matinee, but the prices of the tickets were higher. As for the performance, it was excel lent. The operetta of the "Four Heaved Clover” was prettily renderea, without a hitch. Its scenes are laid in Spain, affording opportunity for the use of rich costumes whose colors blended and har monized perfectly in the mazes of the dance. The music arranged hy Mr.W. E. Chandler was in great part that of Sir Arthur Sullivan, ami ^it was well executed by the orchestru, the principals and chorus. The four features of the performances were the braidiug of ythe May pole, the tambourine dances, flag c'ri 1 and a good night drill. The dancers were set off by the charming colors of the calcium iJghts, the flag drill was executed with great’preeision, the'girls reflecting Jgroat credit on Capt. Welch, their instructor, the braiding of the May pole was ex tremely pretty, and the good night driil hy the eight little tots awfully cunning. In the earlier dances there was a delight ful little dance hy little Margurite Perry and Eileen Moore, and at another time, cunning little Winifred Elwell brought down the bouse. The principal parts were taken hy Bread and cake raised with keep their freshness and flavor. Cleveland Baking Powder Co., New York» Successor to Cleveland Brother* Misses Maud Coombt, Hattie Pike> Edna Brackett, Margie Clay and Jessie Bell, Floyd Nute, Everett Butter field, Percy Bobbins, Harry C.Farring ton, Wyman Fitz, Harry Jacobson,Clif ford Pike and Will Anderson, and they received warm applause, the ladies be ing honored with floral tributes. The ladies of Bosworth Post have worked hard to bring out this operetta and have done their work without'other assistance than that of Messrs.Ch; ndler andjWelch, who have’labored assiduous ly to forward their efforts. Evidently the Bosworth Relief Corps has'n right to afirst mortgage on City HaH for May days. The Fairfield Opera House. The opera house at Fairfield owned by Mr. A.F.Gerald, was opened for inspeos tion Tuesday night. It has one of the largest auditoriums and stages in the State. The decorations are of the time of Louis XV. The ceiling is painted in soft sky colors and old rose blended, with graceful scroll work, sprays of white and Jacqueminot roses. The walls are a soft Nile green and the treatment of the proscenium, bnlcony front and ail the wood work in fact, is in old ivory, touched up with gold leaf. The balcony front has been greatly improved by add ing pilasters and panels of garlands of flowers, and the proscenium arch has also been enriched at the corners with interlacing leaves. The balcony has been fitted with ele gant opera chairs, upholstered in red plush. The footlights and all the elec tric fixtures are of the most improved design and insure a well lighted house. The house is heated by steam and lighted by electricity. Notes. Thn lnnrlinw Tmch TV T>_ i*y, is to appear at the Portland Theatre next Wednesday and Thursday evenings in his latest success, “The Rising Gene ration,” THEY MUST HAVE GUNS. The Two Companies at the Reform School Need Guns in Order to Make Further Progress—Captain Baker and Mr. Little Will Ask. Governor Cleaves for Them. Some months ago the trustees of the Re form school decided to adopt a plan pro posed by lion. Albion Little, and to intro duce military drill as a part of the regular system of the institution. Mr. Little in sisted that it would be found that the boys would show the good effect of the drill, that they Would find it a break in the life at the school, and ttyat they would be in many ways the better for it. Captain Baker was secured as military in structor, and for a long time saw but little results, although he tried very hard.. After a while the boys began to take to it more naturally, and to feel more confidence in themselves, and those who had doubted the wisdom of the proposed inovation acknowl edged that Mr. Little was right. Yesterday Captain Baker drilled his “buys” in the presence of Mr. Little, Mr. Farrington, Mi. Wentworth, a member of the High School Cadets and a PRESS re porter. Then he left them in the hands of Captain Arris of “Co. A,” of the school battalion, who went through the setting-up drill. Of course the boys did not show per fect work, but tnere were some things that would have done credit to a company or ganized much longer and drilled much more frequently. Once the bright young repre sentative of the Cadets said: “They beat us that time.” One thing is lacking, and both Mr. Little and Captain Baker will ask Governor Cleaves to suppy that most pressing want. They need guns and must have them. The boys have been drilled as far as they can be without guns. There are about forty guns that belonged to the old militia. They went through the fire and are of doubtful value at the best, and not fit for any actual work. Governor Cleaves will be asked to allow Captain Baker to take these guns .to the school for the use of the battalion. Swords 01.0 a lor. li' n ntad (nr flic nffinora o rl m.411 procured. The great want is guns, and it is believed (bat Governor Cleaves will con sent to the removal of the now useless militia arms to the school. flhe cottage system is working even hotter than was expected, and the cottage to be built under the direclion of the trustees will pattern closely after the one at the present time, so pleasant a feature of the life of the boys who are fortunate enough to be taken from the school, to what it is the constant effort of those in charge, to make a real home. Pictures are scattered through the rooms, but more are needed, especially in the hospital in the cottage. Mr. Payson Tucker has offered to send to the school a number of pictures, and Mr. Little proposes to use them to brighten the room where the sick hoys are kept. Mr. Tucker can be trusted to make the walls of that room bright and Mr. Little would be glad to have more contributions of the same sort. The good effect of the mililury drill on the boys can be plainly seen. They walk more erect, and show something of the pride of the soldier in their upperaance. The officers are promptly obeyed, and Captain Baker is confident that once provided with guns they will present a still more soldier like appearance. The drill has been found help ful in other ways, the boys yield and obey more promptly those in authority, and are more self respecting. f—r. Methodists at Saco. Saco, May 1.—Delegates to the Maine Methodist conference are arriving in large numbers. The formal opening of the con ference will be held tomorrow morning, conducted by Rev. Bishop Thomas Bowman of St. Louis. The preliminary exercises to day consisted of class examinations, 9.30 and 1.30, evangelistic service at lour, con ducted by Rev. E. S. Stackpole. THE CARGO OF THE OREGON. Inspector Fogg Busy at the Bast.—Items of News Along Shore. The steamship Oregon sailed for Liverpool via. Halifax yesterday. Her cargo while not as large as might have been desired, all the freight here not being enough to load her, was valuable. The Canadian portion of her cargo was valued at $119,918, and the Ameri can portion at $21,726. The cargo was made up of 629 packages of meats, 20 boxes boots and shoes, 207 boxes of cheese, 2,281 maple blocks lor matches, 45 bales of twine, G cases of cignretts, 875 bags of oatmeal, f9G bales of hay, 710 bundles of pulp, 87 cattle, 20 horses, and 37,400 bushels of loose grain. With tlie sailing of the Oregon the direct steamer service between this port and Liverpool ends. The steamers will return here next fall when the season is over at MontfleaJU Inspector Fogg had a last official duty to perform before the Oregon sailed, the putting on board of’Mircam Krsak, Captain Myers of the barkentine Mabel J. Myers, from this port to South America, did not leave without a slight trouble at the last. Two of the crew decided at the last moment that they didn’t want to go. They had no fault to find with the vessel, or with the Captain, but thought they would prefer to stay on shore. It was simply a freak on their part, and when informed that Captain Myers did not propose to be fooled that way they quieted down and were on the bine water about two hours later than needed to have been the case. The wind-bound fleet of schooners sailed yesterday taking advantage of the first favorable opportunity for a number of days, Vesterday was a great duy for lobsters. The lobsters must have discovered that it was the open season again. At midnight there was not a short lobster in this city, or in any of the trapslon the coast, and yet five minutes past twelve they were here by the thousands. One lobster taxer explained this by saying that the lobsters “began to bite vigorously about midnight, and that after that all we had to do was to pull.thera in." J. W. Trefethen reported yesterday after noon that at least 50,000 short, and 20.000 large lobsters had been received. Of 40,000 lobsters received £0,000 were under the regulation size. Of course this state of tilings led to a big drop in the price. The time has gone by when thirteen lobsters would pay for a barrel of the best flour, and yet such was the case but a few weeks ago. The dealers hardly know what to do with so many lobsters, and in one instance, that, of J. W. Trefethen, the cars over at South Portland are now being filled, all available space in the cars on this side having been filled. The long Wharf Lobster company put down two new cars yesterday, and N. F. .Trefethen a very large one. There is a good deal ot work being done on the schooners of the Portland fleet. The Henrietta Francis will be thoroughly “re paired at Gloucester, the only Portland schooner to be sent away from home for that purpose. George A. Harford, is re pairing the Wideawake and Emma Jane, and is doing the work in a very thorough manner. People are already moving to the islands. At Long Island, Mr. Perry has added about twenty rooms to his hotel, and the lumber has been sent down to Mr. Ponce, who will make some extensive changes in and about the Granite Spring house. He will change the dance hall on the first floor to parlors, and will make other improvements. Charles J. Cloudman has just completed a handsome summer cottage at Ponce's. H. H. Ricker has moved to Peaks lor the summer, and A. M. Smith and family are at Little Diamond lor the week. OBITyARY. Charles E. Somerby. Mr. Charles E. Somerby’s death, which occurred at hi3 residence on Park street yesterday morning, was a great shock to many of his friends, who did not know how serious his illness was. A week ago Monday night Mr. Somerby was taken sick, and the Canal bank—where lie occupied the position of paying teller—was notified. His illness displayed typhoid symptoms, but later pneumonia set in and death resulted yester day morning from typhoid pneumonia. Mr. Somerby was about sixty-two years of age. He was the son of the late Abie! Somerby, so many years ticket agent for the Portland, Saco and Portsmouth railroad in this city. When quite young Mr. Somerby accepted a clerkship with the old firm of Rogers and Moulton. From this house he went to the Grand Trunk freight office a clerk. In 1861 he became connected with the Canal bank as book-keeper, and was successively promoted to receiving teller and paying toller, bis connections with tha bank extending over thirty-three years. Mr. Somerby served in the 25th Regiment, Maine Volunteers, Col. Francis Fessenden’s regiment, for nine months during the war. or the Secretary of War, stepped to the front to volunteer to remain in service be yond the time of his enlistment, when Washington was threatened by the rebels. He was a prime mover in the formation cf tbe Army and JSavy Union after the war, and'was for a time its president. He was also much interested in the Portland Light Infantry, and was an hunorary member of the company. lie was a member of the Masonic order, and also of the Portland Yacht club. Mr. Somerby leaves a wife, born Miss Mary Ellen Thornes, the daughter of Captain Thornes, a former well known shipmaster of Portland. They had no children of their own, but adopted two children of Mrs. Somerby’a hi other. Mr. Somerby’s death will be n marked loss to the bank, for be was a most careful, con scientious officer. He was a man of pro nounced opinions, but of a genial disposi tion that endeared him to a largo circle of friends.

ACCIDENT ON THE PORTLAND ROCHESTER AT WESTBROOK JUNCTION.. The early morning freight over the Portland Rochester.whiohjleft the city yesterday morning at 5 o’clock, was de railed at Westbrook Junction. Tbe train approached the Maine Central crossing at the usual rate of speed when sudden ly four cars jumped the frog and crashed into the station platform tearing it up for a considerable distance and knock ing down tbe tali signal pole which stood near the track. The first car was landed with shingles and the running parts were ^hadly damaged, ‘.while the other cars escaped without much dam age. The morning trains were not delayed, but the Bangor vestubuled train at noon was delayed about 15 minutes as the vestubuled cars are much wider than the ordinary coaches aud could not pass until a oart of the obstruction was re moved.

C. Harbaugh in Cincinnati Tribune. When I awoke out of a troubled sleep, I was surprised to find my wife standing by tbo bedside gazing intently and some what anxiously at me. “What is the matter?” I asked, sitting up iu bed. “It is time,” she answered in a strange manner, “for some one to ask what is the matter, and no ono has a better right than yourself to answer.” She gave a nod and a look which clearly indicated that soma explanation was ex pected from me. “Don’t you remomber wandering out of the house during the night?” my wife asked. “No.” I had no recollection of it, not the slightest, but I was not astonished, for I had always been a somnambulist, and once when young I nearly broke my neck by falling down stairs while under the im pression that I. was in a wood gathering wild flowers. It seems that my wife was awakened at 3 in the morning by the noise caused by the baDgiug of the garden gate. She dis covered that I was not in bed; that tho hall door was open, and that I had evi dently just left the precincts of the house by the gate. Before she had time to give an alarm I had returned to tho gate, which I had carefully opened and then closed. I held in my hand something that looked like a small bludgeon. It was one of those old horse pistols which in days of yore so uiutu tmuniou uuuicut wans ami siirveu as a reminder that the grandfather had either fought against the French on the Spanish Main or had at least taken part in the en terprises of Nelson. Having closed the gate, I carefully shut the hall door, locking it and fastening the chain. I ascended to a top room and care fully replaced the pistol in a case, put it on a shelf in a cupboard, which I locked, and descending to my room I put the key in a drawer. My wife was the witness of every action, but, as my eyes were open, she was doubt ful whether I was asleep, awake or half asleep. Having, as with the gate, the door and the pistol caso, seen that the bedroom door was carefully secured, I quietly turned out the gas, which I had lit, and got into bed. When I awoke, it was to ask “What is the matter?” and to find that I, myself, was expected to answer the question. But I was as completely ignorant of my som nambulistic adventure as if I had nevor been born. The incident troubled mo. To unlock cupboards and take rusty pistols out of forgotten cases, and then to wander out into the darkness of the night like a ghost, was a distinct and an alarming develop ment of my sleep walking propensity. I had hard work to convince my wife that I was dead asleep at the time. But her incredulity has long since disappeared, and with it all the gaynoss of spirit with which it was expressed and accompanied. The next day I sauntorc-d in our old churchyard. There was only one man 1 disliked in all the country round, and that was the gravedigger. As a rule, I have a fair opinion of gravediggers, just as I have of tax collectors, because, in a quiet sort of way, they discharge a disagreeable but a necessary work. But ours was a horrible gravedigger. Ho squinted, and nature had not quite finished his nose. He sneered at you as you passed, and if he saw that you were watching him digging he would chucklo, as much as to say, “Aye, aye, my good man, your turn will soon come!” He got drunk. It was reported that he was in the habit of beating his wife—a poor, pathetic object, who, at a busy sea son, brought his dinner to the churchyard, where it would he eaten by tho side of an open grave.. Old Grubb had no friends, and few ac quaintances even, in the barroom of the Hose and Crown. He was shunned by man and beast, and in his presence found myself. I ventured to address him with all the respect I could command. “A new grave, Grubb?” I asked. “Who is dead uow?” “Who do you think?” was the gruff re sponse. J. cannot; guess, tor i aid not know any one was ill.” “Didn’t ye? I suppose ye didn’t, and I suppose ye did not care. Yet they told me this morning there would be a stir in the village about it. Bah! She’ll bo quietly laid here before this time tomor row aud as soon forgotten as the rest of ’em.” Saying which, he gave a sweep of his arm to indicate that he meant all tho occupants of our dilapidated but pictur esque Necropolis. Our gravedigger was tired and thirsty. Ho had not quite finished the grave, but ho declared that ho would work no more that day. Ho got out of the grave by means of a ladder, which ho pulled up and reared against tho church between a but tress and the wall. Without saying anything further he as cended the ladder and hid his spade in a hole in the wall. When he came down, he eyod mo and said: “I forgot that you were looking, but you won’t tell any of them, will ye?” “What havo I to tell?’ “Where I have hidden the spade. If you do, it will bo stolen. Thoy stole many a one till I discovered that hole under the roof. It’s 6afe there.” He removed the ladder and flung it among the long grass. Then he put on his jacket and lit his pipe. We soon reached thepartingof tho way. The village public house and my homo were in opposite directions. “You forgot, Grubb, to tell mo whose grave it is.” “Did I? No, I did not. Well, that grave, sir, is for my wife.” I shuddered, and with a chuckle he passed on toward the Rose and Crown. Once he looked round to see what effect tho announcement had on me. He noted ny mingled wonder and disgust, chuckled gain and disappeared round the bend of he road. I hated and loathed the man, and the latred and loathing were strong upon mo vhon I went to bed. I was tired and soon ell fast asleep. It seemed a long night. I had passed it n troubled dreamland, and somehow vhen I awoke I was not astonished to find igain by my bedside my puzzled and in luisitive wife. “You must, she said, “have been again valking in your sleep. The cook says that it 6 o'clock this morning she found the tall door wide open, and she is sure she ieard some one in the top room near the lupboard where you keep the pistol. “Go up stairs,” I said to my wife, “and lee if the case which contains the pistol is inlocked. She soon returned to say that it was ocked as usual, and that fact satisfied her vith regard to the pistol, while the pro luction of the key for the drawer, where t was always kept, induced in her a be ief that tho domestic had made a mistake. “Still, the girl declares that the hall loor was open. She cannot be mistaken m that point.” “Did she look it last night?” “No,” said my wife, with deliberation. ‘I did!” It was strange. There had been no bur glarious entry. It looked more like a case of breaking out than breaking in. But, after all it was a trifle, and before break fast was over we had quite forgotten it. All this timo great excitement prevailed in the village, which was in Lancashire, Dot far from Liverpool. A terrible mur ier bad taken place, and the small com munity was agitated to its depths. Old Krultb, the gravedigger, had been found lead near an open grave. He had been shot through the heart. When I reached the village, the body had been removed to an outhouse of the Rose and Crown, there to await the cor oner’s inquest. In company with the police inspector, I examined the place where the body was found, and the churchyard, but no foot prints save those of the gravedigger him self were visible on the loose soil that he had himself thrown up the previous after noon during the process of digging Ills wife’s grave. No firearm was found. I noticed that the ladder was against the church wall in the spot where I saw Grubb place it the day before. He had taken his spado from its hiding place, for it was lying near the grave. It was therefore strange that he had not removed the ladder, which caused me inexplicable uneasiness until, Unseen by the inspector, I had removed it and laid it in the long grass of tho churchyard. A jury was summoned, and I Was ap pointed foreman of it. We were face to face with a mystery, which we did our Dest to ciucinaie. rsuc n was au in vain. Several relatives of poor Mrs. Grubb were suspected of causing the death of old Grubb, but on no other grounds save that the gravedigger bad habitually ill treat ed her, and that they were her relatives. The coroner’s jury extended over several weeks, and the end of it was that we re turned a verdict of “willful murder against some person or persons unknown. And so the poor gravedigger and his wife were buried in the grave—the grave which he had himself dug.

The following winter while returning home from business I suddenly came face to face with my wife. She appeared very nervous and agitated. “Hush,” she said. “This afternoon the pistol has been discovered by which the gravedigger was shot. Some men were repairing the roof of the church, and in a hole where, a man says, Grubb was in the habit of placing his spade a long old fashioned pistol was found. I saw it, George, and nearly fainted.” I, too, became nervous, but said never a word until our house was reaohed. A light was produced, and I took my trem bling wife to the cupboard in the room at the top, to reassure her by the sight of my family heirloom. Had she been before me? No gleam of hope shot from her usually bright face. The key was found and the case epened. The pistol was not there! I had not looked in the case since the murder, and as it was locked I concluded that the weapon was inside. It now oocurred to me for the first time that the pistol was loaded when I last ex amined it, and that the bullet was the old fashioned make found in the heart of the gravedigger. I went to the police station that night, and with a careless air examined the weapon. It was mine! “Do you remember,” said the inspector, “that on the morning of the murder a ladder was reared against the church. The pistol was found in a hole near the very spot where the ladder had been placed. It so happened that some one re moved the ladder, despite my strict in junction that nothing in the churchyard was to be touched. It seems to me now that the ladder was not removed acciden tally.” I acquiesced in the surmise and did not blanch. It was undoubtedly a clew, but nothing was ever known of the removal of the ladder or the person who prevented thn nrnhnhlfi rHsnnvnrv nf thn nistnl with which old Grubb had so grievously met his end.

Years afterward we left the neighbor hood. Perhaps, now that the village has grown into a town, everything connected with the murder is forgotten. M.v wife and I never refer to it, never hear any thing about it, but often in the dead of night I am aroused from my slumber, and the question comes vividly to my mind: “Was it a murder?”—Million. DufTerin’s Diplomacy. “I heard the other day,” says the editor of London Truth, “a story about Lord Dufferin which goes to show his ability as a diplomatist. When the French govern ment had determined to have a Joan of Arc demonstration, the French minister of foreign affairs went out of his way to explain to our embassador that this was in no way intended against England. Lord Dufferin concurred and pointed out that, as the Burgundians had insisted on her ex ecution, it was fully realized in England that the demonstration was against Bur gundians. The Frenchman had to concur in this. ‘X shall be happy to take part myself in the procession, said Lord Duf ferin. “The Frenchman smiled in a sickly way. ‘Nay, more,’ continued Lord Duf ferin, ‘there is a gentleman at my embassy who is a lineal descendant of the Lord Talbot of that day. He, too, will bo de lighted to join.’ The smile became more sickening. ‘In the ancestral halls of the head of his family there is possibly the armor of the Lord Talbot of the day3 of Joan of Arc. His descendant would wear It. The frenchman changed the subject of the conversation. The Maine State Pkess is $2.00 a year PUBLIC LIBRARY. Accessions for April. Benson, A.

TOOK HER TO THE ALMS HOUSE. The Little Girl Protests ami the Neigh bors Did Too—liut the Facts Show That They Were All in the Wrong and the Police Are Not So Cruel After All. Yesterday forenoon, on Myrtle street, opposite the police station, there was a loud outcry that around the neigh borhood a little girl about 7 or 8 years of age, was protesting vigorously against being put into a carriage by two men and taken to the almshouse. She de clared that she had an aunt to whom she could go and made a good deal of disturbance. .The people who live close by, came out and felt and expressed a good deal of sympathy for the little girl, who was well dressed and well ap pearing. The two men were superinten dent Roberts of the almshouse and Offi cer Frank Merrill. Mr.S. A .Stone, who lives close by, was a good deal worked up over the matter and made a protest against taking the girl away against her wishes. He said among other things something about its making his blood run cold at the way tlie police officers treated children. This rather rattled Officer Merrill,who replied that he presumed that the police officer knew ns much about the mutter as Mr. Stone did. There were other words and some excitement. Later, Mr.Stone saw Marshal Trickey about it and the latter Jexplained^that the little girl was Iva F.Mitchell,daugh ter o£ Mrs. Annie Mitchell, who had been arraigned before Judge Robinson that morning on the charge of robbing Ed ward Cashmau.aud had been bound over and taken to jail in default of bail. The little girl who is eight years old to day, passed the night in the police sta tion with her mother. She was being taken to the i almshouse to be taken care or till today when Judge Robinson would decide about sending her to the Industrial School. As Officer Merrill said, they certainly knew as much about the case iu the police station as anyone else, for Marshal Trickey proceeded to tell Mr. Stone that the little girl had been living in a low dive that had been raided by the police several times, that on one of these raids they had found the little girl in the same bed with a drunken man, that her mother had admitted the fact, that her aunt to whom she wanted to go, was the same kind of woman as her mother, and despite the little girl’s nat ural protests, it was better to send her to the almshouse, peuding the considera tion as to the sending her to the Indus trial School,the best thing that could be done for her. The above incident is related not only because it is an interesting and signifi cant glimpse ’of real life, but because it serves to show that the 'people are fre quently mistaken (and honestly so,) as to the actions of police officers, and do not seem to realize that they aie men with human sympathies, just like other people. Although sometimes they may seem harsh, their constant contact with the law-breaking portion of the commnnity, and,their extensive knowl edge of those people, makes them far wiser in their treatment of them than anyone else could possibly be.

Evans of North Yarmouth Without Saying Good Bye and (Three Gold (Watches Left at the Same Time. Mr. W. H. Evans of North Yarmouth, is a well-to-do farmer and lumberman, and has had a great deal of experience in.empioying laborers, so much so that he feels pretty sure of his man after he has once had a good look at him. Last Monday he came to Portland looking ‘for a man to work on his farm. He saw n good looking young fellow on the street, who possessed a very prepossessing eye, and Mr. Evans concluded that here was the man he Wanted. The young fellow gave his name as Peter Fisher. He was out of work and wanted the job, and so drove out home with Mr. Evans. Ho went to worn Tuesday and worked all day and seemed to be entire ly satisfactory. Yesterday forenoon Mr. Evans and his wife and a man and his wife from Portland, relatives of their’s, drove to a farm a few miles from home, and were gone about two bouis, leaving the new hired man alone. Mr. Evans had left his gold watch in liis room, because he had dropped it that morn ing and broken the crystal. His wife’s gold watch was there also, m plain view, and so was the gold watch of the Portland lady. Gn their return trom the drive the new hired man and the watches were gone. Mr. Evan’s house is about two miles from Yar mouth Junction. Inquiries there revealed tne fact that the station agent had reen a man, answering Fisher’s description, about there that morning, and thought that he took the train for Portland. All yesterday afternoon Sheriff Plummer and Deputy Sheriff Dresser, Frith and Plummer were at work upon the case. They coveied all the crrnnnd hnt.wp.fln h«re and Yarmouth, both along the railroad track and the carriage road, but were unable to secure any clue as to the direction taken by the theif. Fisher is twenty-two years of age, of dark complexion, five feet six inches tall and weighs 130 pounds. He has an abundant mass of dark hair, parted near the middle, a small moustache and a very intelligent and prepossessing eye. Day Nursery, At this season of the year when there is such a demand for wonting women to assist in the spring cleaning of the households, we would again cull attention to the Day Nursery at 36 Oak street. Here at the low price of ten cents alday, or fifteen cents where there are two children from ono family, the little ones can reeive food and care, while the mother is away from home, ltwould seem to be a privilege which should be more generally availed of since it means less than the prioe of one hour’s work to the mothers, to be relieved of all care of her baby or little one during the day. No danger of setting themselves on fire; sure of warmth, good food and care. Contrast this with the practice of some women, of locking the children into the room duiing an absence of some hours trusting to a neighbor who has her own cares “to mind them once in a while.” The W. C. T. U. have seoured a new matron, who was most heartily recom mended by the ladies of St. Luke’s, and Mre. Wilcutfc will be.very glad to welcome and care for all the little ones who are placed under her charge at the Day Nursery. Third Army Corps Reunion. The assembling on the 6th and 7th inst. of the veterans of this famous fighting corps at Northampton and Hadley, Mass., (the latter the birthplace of Gen.

Dartmouth Professors Called It Incurable. “I had a painful ulcer on my ankle, which physi cians called an old man’s sore, due to the poor state of my blood. The sore spread to the size of a saucer, and I had to give up business. The surgeons at Dartmouth College would not perform an operation, claiming that my advanced age. 78 years, in itself was a barrier, and that only temporary relief could be given. I was pining over my misfortune when a friend urged melto try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I had taken but part of a bottle when the eruption looked more healthy and after taking 6 bottles the sore Hood’s Cures completely healed, leaving only a scar Hood’s Sarsaparilla also helped my whole system as I have not felt so well for vears John S.
