HAY SON, Middle St. BRADSTREET’S REPORT. A Check to the Rising Tendency of Prices —Wheat Exports the Smallest for Tears. New York, June 14.—Bradstreets’ to morrow will say: The recent check to activity in general trade, taking the country as a whole, which followed the severe and unusual frosts of the close of May, has begun to register itself in re latively fewer upward spurts of prices for staples and moderately smaller totals of bank clearings. An exception to the halt is found in the remarkable exhibition of strength by iron and steel. Cotton is lower, and wheat, railway and other se curities have each presented a season of active demand and advancing prices, but none of them have outdone iron and steel which, without special orders from rail road and other large consumers, have again advanced all (along the line. The bank clearings this week have dropped to $1,003,000,000, a falling off of 11 per cent, but the total is still 21 per cent larger than the second week of June, 1894, though 2.8 per cent less than in the panic year, and 12 per cent smaller than the like total of 1892. The advances in prices of staples this week seem practi cally confined to a few varieties of cotton goods (with agents) to Bessemer pig iron. Kailroad earnings for May reflect an improvement in general business. The total earnings of 123 companies, with 98, 501 miles is $38,082,257, an increase over May, 1894 of 6.5 per cent. The gain in April is only 4.5 per cent over 1894. The earnings of 123 roads for five months ag gregate eit»,ooi,aou, a gam 01 ».o per cent over a like period of last year, a period [which showed a decrease of 14.2 per cent from the year before. The exports of wheat, flour as wheat, from both coasts of the United States, this week shows a surprising decrease, the total amounting to only 1,781,737 bushels against 2,991,000 last week, and 2,254, 000 in the week a year ago, and 3,834, 000 two years ago. Boston, Montreal Baltimore, report very much smaller ship ments of wheat than last week,and Ne%v port News much less flour. This week’s total wheat and flouer shipments appeal to have been the smallest since the sec ond week of June, 1891. There are 232 business failures reporter in the United States this week; againsi 227 in the week a year ago. THE WEATHER. Fair and Cooler.

BUILDING DESTROYED AND MANS KILLED AND INJURED. The Explosion Was of Titanic Tower— "Workmen in Neighboring; Buildings Injured—Eire Added to the Horror of the Scene. Fall River, Mass., Juno 14.—The worst catastrophe that has visited this city since the granite mill Are, occurred about 8.30 this morning at Langley’s loom harness shop on County street. Tho new boiler of the Kendall make exploded in the basement of the two story wooden building, blowing out the entire eud of the structure, knocking the supports from sides and causing the upper floor to settle into a mass of ruins. There were forty live persons at work in the shop. Four dead bodies have been recovered, Lelia Horton, aged seventeen, Adell Dube, aged eighteen, Robert Murray, aged twenty-one, and one man not yet identified. Those who are yet missing are supposed to be in the debris. Engi neer Lepage has been arrested. He|has said that to his knowledge the boiler had not been inspected since it has been in use. The greatest excitement prevails in the vicinity of the explosion, the streets are crowded with people. WITHOUT WARNING. There was a terrible report, followed by a shock; the roof seemed to lift and. then fall, completely demolishing the whole building. The Jalbert girl and her sister in-law were thrown into the middle of the road. The former escaped uninjured, but the latter was badly cut about the face and arms. At 9.45 a. m. the names of the rescued so far as learned were given out as follows: Alice Trembly. Mattie Deorslers. Miss Jalbert. Leah Horton. Adlee Dube. Ida Lepage. Henry J. Langley. G. E. Doval. Engineer Tripp. Foreman 'Warren. Mr. Langley is in a critical condition and has been remove4 to his homo for treatment. The shock broke in the windows of the Stafford mill and injured several of the operatives. Tlie building is a total wreck, but the flames are under control. At 9.20 a. m. the badly charred remains of Bobert Murray were taken out dead. The Star Music hall has been made a morgue, where Medical Examiner Dolan, with Drs. Cummings, Cone, Synan, Gunning, Clolett and a number of other physicians, are installed. The engine was situated in the north west corner of the building, and was of fifty horse power. The man who ran the boiler escaped alivfe and uninjured. His name is Lepage. He says the boiler was four and a half years old, and was built by the Cunning ham Iron W orks. It was a tubular boiler, but he could not give the dimensions. He said that he filled the boiler about five minutes before it blew up. There was about four inches of space in the water glass not filled with water. The fire had been going half an hour. The boiler gave no warning before it went up. State Inspector Hawley, D. J. Hayes, boiler inspector, and J. D. Dumond an expert boiler Inspector, employed by the Hartford Insurance company, were in the city this afternoon investigating the cause of today’s boiler explosion. It has been definitely determined that the engi neer told the truth when ho said there was plenty of water in the boiler. The experts found the safety fusible plug in excellent condition. The experts said the boiler was in very good condition today, as far as scaling was concerned. There were suspicious patches on the middle plate, more particularly where it broke may have been caused by burning or other causes. A piece of plating twenty bv six inches was cut out by order of the state inspector and will be taken to Bos ton for further examination. The safety valve attached to the boiltrwas not found up to six o’clock. A second after today's explosion occurred pandemonium reigned in the building adjoining. The window had been battered by flying debris and dust and steam filled the rooms. In the second floor of the weave room Joseph Nuttal was struck on the left arm anti Annit Hurst was cut back of the ear. A girl named Partridge worked in the alley or the west side of the mill, far removed from the explosion, but a piece of flying brick struck her near the eye and sh< fainted and bled freely. The operative: made for the nearest exits. They rusliec pell mell down the stairs and into th< street. Flying bricks and mortar crashec through the big windows and smashed warps, tore cloth and ripped the roving out of creels and made a general mess o things. The mill engine ran some fou: or five minutes, and then the operative: began to collect their wits. Many of then immediately started to put out the fire it the Langley building mill. Hose was rui out and good work was done. It is be lieved that about $1200 worth of damagi was done the mill property. The police report of the explosion givei out tonight shows there were seventeei •people in the building. Of Jhis niunbe: four were burned to death and sevei more or less injured. The others escapee with little more than a severe shock. Hi Page made some statements tonight. Hi said he worked as engineer and firemaj at the Langley works about two year ago. When one of the boiler inspector looked over the plant before insuring i he was warned never to allow the steal! pressure to go over eighty pounds. Som time after Page was told that he wu 1 ordered to keep steam at ninety. He sail lie would not do it. He was not at al surprised that it was blown into the aii When asked why lie left Langley’s emplo; he said lie was discharged.

The Jury Says that by False Representa tions Mr. A. Merritt Was Induced to Consolidate His Mining Property With that of the Defendant and Is Entitled to Nearly One Million Dollars' Dama ges. Duluth, Minn., June 13.—The trial in file* case of Alfred Merritt of Duluth against Mr. J. D. Rockefeller, to recover $1,250,000 damages which he suffered by being led by misrepresentation into the consolidation of his Meseba mines and railroad with the Rockefeller iron prop erties, under the name of the Lake Supe rior Consolidated mines, returned a ver dict this afternoon in favor of the plain tiff. The jury retired shortly before noon, at the conclusion of Judgo Riner’s charge, and were in conference for nearly six hours. It was shortly after 5.30 o’clock that word came from the jury room that they had agreed. Judge Riner had left the court room, having given instructions that he be sent for as soon as the jury was ready, and a messenger was despatched for him. He quickly re sponded, and in a few minutes before 6 o’clock the jury filed in and the verdict was announced. The jury fixed the amount of damage at $940,000. The suit was based on the ground that Rockefeller, both by his personal re presentations in an interview with the brother of the plaintiff at his office in New York city about a year ago, and also through the fraudulent representations of his agent, the Rev. F. T. Gates, a form ux xjupixsu pxcnuxxcx, cuxu v/iiaixua n. iiuu more, a new York capitalist and lawyer, had induced the plaintiff, together with his brothers, to place in a consol idation'of iron mining companies their properties on the Mesaba range. The jury decided that the evidence showed that the representations of Rocke feller and his agent as to the solvency of the Gogebic and Cuban mines which were put in by them and their friends were false and made with the intent to defraud the Merritts. The case was fought for 10 days and experts from all parts of the country testified. Rockefeller refused to come, and his only evidenco' was by deposition. There is a large family fof the Merritts, most of whom wore induced to enter the consolidation, and in a short time suits aggregating *2,000,000 will be brought on the same basis.

MR. WALLEY DENIES THAT HE EVER WENT TO VAULT. Also Denies that He Encouraged Mr. Preble to Speculate or to Take His Mother’s Securities—Other Evidence Introduced to Overthrow Preble’s Evi dence. Boston, June 14.—J. C. Bates Walley, junior member of the firm of H.M. Bates Walley, who is charged of converting the property of Sarah A. Preble to his own use in her suit against the firm, now being tried before Judge Colt in the United States Circuit Court came, to the stand in his own defence this morning. The examination of Mr. Walley by Mr. Hoar was extended, covering the entire period of time from 1870 to the present time. Early in the examination Mr. Walley made a flat denial of the insinuation in the case that he had made an improper use of the power conferred upon him by consent of Mr. Preble, by asserting that to the best of his recollection ho never opened or oven wont to the box in the vault during the time covered by his power of attorney. Mrs. .Preble Bases her suit, m part on the alleged knowledge of Mr. Walley at the time the property was disposed of through his office, that it belonged to her, her son having no claim on it. In answer to this Mr. Walley testified to the sale of a number of securities in the latter part of 1879 and 1880. In contradiction to another important point in the claim of the plaintiff Mr. Walley said that he never encouraged Mr. Preble to speculate and never advised Mr. Preble to go to his mother’s box to take out more securities. Robert P. Clapp, to whom Mr. Preble made a statement of the case when Sena tor Wadleigh was employed as counsel, Richard Ingersoll of the York County Bank of Bidaeford, Mo.. and Thomas E. Major, who was the official stenographer at the trial of the issue in 1888, testified for the defence also. Their statements were intended to overthrow tho testimo ny of Edward Preble. At 1 o’clock a recess of one hour was taken. Henry M. Bates, senior member of the firm, testified that he never knew Mrs. Preble had i any claim £on the securities negotiated by the firm for Mr. Preble; also that Mr. Preble’s indebtedness to the firm was more than balanced by his col lateral. Robert P. Clapp, testified to whom Preble made the statement of the fcase when Senator Ward leigh was employed as counsel. The jury was dismissed at 5 o’clock,' after which Mr. Hoar cited a few questions of law in the case. The arguments will be made tomorrow. TROUBLE OVER AN AUTOPSY. Mr. Thomas Becker Complains That His Daughter’s Body Was Subjected to Ex amination The Statement of City Officials. An unusual matter was brought up briefly at the meeting of the Board of Alderman yesterday afternoon. Mr. Thomas Decker of Green street, appeared to make complaint that an autopsy had been performed upon his daughter, Melinda A. Decker, who died at the Greeley hospital three weeks ago Satur day. Mr. Decker alleged that his daughter had been subjected to an autopsy only half an hour after she had died, and vpifVinnt Tiic nnneont The aldermen did not hear Mr. Decker further, but referred him to the Board of Overseers of the Poor. The circumstances of the case are peculiar. The Decker girl was nineteen years old, and was not living at her father’s home; but at a houso on Wash ington street. The records show the birth of a still-born child to her. She was sick throe weeks before she died. Dr. Pudor was called, and ascertaining the nature of her illness, ordered her removal to Greely hospital. She died soon after arriving there. After her death her father and mother went to the hospital after her body. After a little delay—which aroused Mr. Decker’s suspicions, the body was delivered in the casket which he had sent. Mr. Daclter’s suspicions increased, and before the funeral, last Tuesday, ho ex amined the body of his daughter, and discovered that an extensive autopsy had been performed, and that cotton had been substituted for some of the organs. Mr. Decker at once engaged Seth L. Larrabeo, Esq., as counsel, and applied to the city authorities for leave to state what he considers his grievances. Secretary Baker of the Board of Over seers of the Poor, was seen by the PRESS in regard to the matter. Ho said it was true that an autopsy had been per formed by City Physician Pudor. Dr. Pudor had done so by the advice of older physicians, and becauso it seemed ad visable in view of the peculiar nature of the girl's illness, and possible questions that might arise in future in regard to it. An Exciting It tan. Officer Pillsbury discovered a party of boys on Fore street last ni ght under sus picious circumstances. At the oflicer’s approach they ran away but one of them was captured. He failed to give an ac count of himself and wait taken to the station. Kicked by a Horse. At noon yesterday William Pierce, em ployed at Benson’s stablo on Federal street, attempted to lead a horse out of the stable when tho animal, which was in high spirits, tugged at the halter and kicked more in play than anything else. Ono of the horse's hind foet struck Pierce in the chest, partially dislocating two ribs The injured man was carried to his home on Cumberland street, and is now doing as well as could be expected. CRUELTY TO HORSES Agent Perry Received a Better from Agent Carrier of Boston, in Regard to the TVasliburn Circus Horses. Agent Perry of the S. P. C. A., re ceived the following letter yesterday: A clipping from a Boston paper was en closed. It read as follows:! “In the Chelsea Police court this morn ing, on complaint of the M. S. P. ,C. to animals, William Mallinsou driver for Washburn’s circus pleaded guilty to driving a badly galled horse and was fined $10. Mallinsou was arrestd and taken from his team by Officer Parsons of the Chelsea police who with the society’s agent were watching the outfit. The circus was at Lowell Monday last where Agent Drury found upwards of a dozen horses badly galled. Thoy were taken from work and two others in bad condition were killed." The letter read: Boston, June 10. Mr. E. N. Perry. Dear SirI think the above circus is due in your city on Friday, the 14th inst. We found the performing horses all right, but some of those used to haul the bag gage etc. were galled and in general poor condition. I thought if they came to Portland you might be glad to have them inspected. Truly yours. CHAS. A. CURRIER. Yesterday afternoon Agent Perry and Agent Dyer of South Portland, went out to the circus grounds and examined the work horses. They found two whose shoulders were badly galled and very sore. The man in charge promised that the two horses should not be worked till the sores got well and Agent Perry told him that he should inform all the cruelty agents when the circus goes in regard to these two horses, and if it is found that they are worked there will be trouble. With this the matter was dropped. TERRIBLY HURT. A Little Adams Boy Run Over by a Horse. Z A serious, and at the same time a peculiar accident, happened on Hanover street yesterday afternoon. A well known gentleman was driving along that street, at a jog trot, and a little cluster of chil dren were playing on the sidewalk. All at once a great dog rushed out from one of the houses close by, and ran at the children. One of them, a little boy named Adams, about five years old, whose parents live In Haverhill, Mass was so frightened he ran out from the sidewalk right under the horse's legs and before the gentleman could pull the animal up the horse had struck the child a blow with his hoof on the head, inflicting a fearful scalp wound that almost covered his head. The gentleman took the child into the residence of its grandmother, Mrs. D. O. McIntyre, No. 8 Hanover street, and then drove for a surgeon and succeeded in securing Dr. Pendleton. There was no fracture, but the doctor thought the wound so serious it was doubtful if the child would recover. The child declared the gentleman was not at fault, but the gentleman told the surgeon to do his best and send his bill to him. Later the child was delirious. Class of *95. Class of '95, P. H.

UMPIRE MURPHY GAVE IT TO NEW BEDFORD 9 TO 0. h v. *fhe Bfeall'y Was 9 to 9 at End of Ninth Inning—We Ought to Hove Had One More Kun but the Empire Oid’nt Give it to Es—He Was Wrong There hut We Were Wrong in liefusing to Play. Up to the ninth inning yesterday’s game with New Bedford was very slow and tiresome as a game, and very ex asperating to the audience. But in the ninth there was excitement enough and almost a littlo too much. We begun well and got two runs in the first, by virtue of Goodliart’s homer over right field fence. We didn’t get another till the fifth. Then we ought to have had two, and that’s where the trouble began. Up to that inning the New Bedfords had mado nine runs, by heavy hitting of Daniels and errors by Slater and Corbett and Goodhart. Our goose was cooked ap parently. But in the fifth Slater got first by waiting for four, with that splendid coolness and judgment that never fails him. He stole second, of course. Spill also waited for four. Then Slater and Spill stole third and second. Goodhart made another fine hit into right centre, his third for the game, and then he made the great mistake of the game. He tried to make a two bagger out of a single, but he was nabbed at first. Slater had of _ 1.___3 3_3 _t_j_ OUIUOC guuv of time to get there, but he very foolishly trotted in never dreaming that Goodhart Would get nabbed at second. But he was out at second before Spill got home and he was the third man out. So Spill’s score didn’t rightly count. But Umpire Murphy didn’t see whether Spill got home or not. He was justified in not see ing it, perhaps, because such a splendid base hit as Goodhart's was a free ticket to borne plate to any man who had sense enough to run and not trot. Therefore he didn’t look towards home, but watched the play at second, where Goodhart was out. Then developed Murphy’s weakness. He refused to decide whether Spill’s run counted or not. Had he said one thing or the other then it would have settled it, but he wouldn’t say. Somebody shouted that it was Official Scorer Shirley to say whether Spill’s run counted. Having seen that Goodhart was out before Spill got home, Mr. Shirley could .only say as his opinion that Spill’s run did not count The New Bed fords were so far ahead that nobody cared, and only one score was placed on the board for that inning. But Jack Daniels took a brace in the box and the boys did also at the bat The New Bedfords got no more runs. We got another in the sixth, two more in the seventh and then Monahan went to pieces in the ninth. With three men on bases he allowed Corbett four balls and Magoon was forced home. Then he hit Leighton with the ball and Dove was forced home. Then Slater was hit by the ball, of course, and Terrien was forced home. This tied the score and the excitement was tremendous. Doe sent Monahan out of the box and put in Friend. We got no more scores. In the last of the ninth we shut out the New Bedfords very prettily, Jack Daniels striki ng out Delaney for the second time. Of course then, if Spill’s run had counted we should have had ten scores to their nine, and won the game. Captain Slater began to kick. There was a great rumpus. The umpire wouldn't allow the run, and finally the home management told the boys to play out the tenth inning. But the boys wouldnt’ do it. They waited so long that Murphy declared the game forfeited to New Bedford 9 to 0. It was foolish not to play the tenth inning. Spilt milk can t De recovered, ine time to kick was when the disputed run came in. Then Murphy ought to have been forced to decide, and settle the matter. The score: PORTLAND.

Dove made a magnificent catch of that long fly. He had to jump into the air for it. He grabbed it with the grip of a vice. Goodhart was decidedly off in his field ing yesterday. Those two muffs ought not, and probably will not be repeated. Terrien is doing splendid work. Ho is as quick as a cat, as steady as a clock, and he saws wood all the time. He is catching them at second in fine stylo. Spill’s play at short stop was|a rejuvona tion of his old time brilliancy. He made three assists in succession that were simply 6uperb. Game Today. New Bedford will piay here again to day. Manager Merrill has signed a new pitcher named Sullivan, who has a big record and has pitched on the Cincin natis, Clevelands and Washingtons. He will pitch today. Wilson, the Boston man, who deserted us will probably pitch for New Bedford.

After CHALLENGE CUP KACE. A Beautiful Bay and a Stiff South west Wind. The Gwendolen Wins the Second Class— The Beatrice Beats the Clarence—The Leila Wins in the Third Class—The Viva Comes In Ahead of the Beatrice in the First Class, A perfect June day favored the Port land Yacht Club on the occasion of the challenge cup races yesterday. There vras a delightful warmth in the breeze from the southwest, which was the prevailing wind, but it was not a moist, sticky heat, there was a good deal of ozone in it. The club house, as usual, was gaily decorated with flags and streamers, and when the hour for the start arrived, there was quite a “cap full of wind”. The regatta committee were all on hand—Messrs. A. M. Smith, R. S. Rand, \V. Kirsch and \V. H. Bradford,—and at 10.30 a.m. precisely, the starting gun was fired It was a pretty sight as yaoht after yacht got un der way and crossed the lino with steadily increased her lead. The winds were strong, although at times, baffling. It must be borne in mind that the Sirocco is a third-class yacht in reality, but in order to make a second race she was allowed by the club to assume four feet in length, thus making her a 25 instead of a 21-foot boat. It was *very kind of the owner, Vico Commodore Mer rill, and the act was appreciated by Mr. George Owen of the Gwedolen, and by the club. The length of the course was 18 miles. In the cat race Capt. Orr’s Beatrice knocked Capt. Jones’s Clarence almost “out of sight.’’ The course was nine miles and a half, and the Clarence was beaten by some 14 minutes. Now tlio best judges say there "must have been something the matter with the Clarence to cause her to make such a showing; that she is too good a boat to be whipped as badly by any boat in the harbor. Capt. Jones declared that he ran too close to House Island and was stuck in the soft mud for several minutes, but the regatta committee say that the two rounds of the course were made by the Clarence in comparatively the same time. THE WINNERS IN YESTERDAY’S RACES. 1, Viva; 2, Gwendolen; 3, Leila; 4, Beatrice. everything drawing on their way dewn the harbor. The I. F. R. was first over the line, followed by the Beatrice (cat), Lelia, Clarence, Gwendolen, Sirocco, Beatrice, (schooner), and Viva, eight in all. The Sirocco is really a third class boat, as she measures 21 feet, and the second class aro 25 feet and over, but by permission of the club she assumed four feet so as to sail in the second class. The Beatrice (schooner), and the Viva fast drew ahead of the rest of the squad ron. After passing Bug Light the Beat rice had rather the best of it until The Spindles, off White Head was readied, and then the Viva went ahead and kept her position until the end of the course, of about a mile in the lead. It was a smash ing old breeze and the boats plunged into the briny element in good shape sending the spray up high and making things at times a little wet. So stiff was the breeze that the Viva carried away the sheet of her topsail and had to make the race on her working sails. Owing to the necessity for beating, the two yachts must have sailed 50 instead of 31 miles. On board of Mr. Hamlen’s yacht, the Beatrice, there was a large party, of ladies, and they enjoyed the excitement as much as the men. When the Viva crossed the line at a minute or two after 4 o’clock, the Beatrice was some distance down the fnnnt. Iinrlmr nnrl T7r» ’Rnnmvc' Vimrn Viva round and went down to meet his antagonist. After the race, Capt. Hamlen of the Beatrice invited Dr. Bowers of the Viva and party on board his yacht, where an elegant collation was served. The Gwendolen beat the Sirocco badly. She allowed the Sirocco 10 minutes and 38 seconds and beat her 17 minutes and 11 seconds. (The Gwendolen started ahead of her and after leaving Green Island cigars were lighted a fine musical pro gramme was carried out to the entire satisfaction of all. The members of the Wheel club presented a very neat appear ance, all being dressed in white duck pants and red sweaters, with the club initials, “L W. C. in a clover leaf on the breast. School for the Deaf. The term of the School for the Deaf closed yesterday and the children are bo ing sent home for the long summer vaca tion. Miss Taylor, the principal, has been very busy the past two days arranging for tickets and getting trunks checked. She wishes to make public acknowledgment of the courtesy shown her by the officers of the Maine Central. Col. Boothbay has been untiring in his efforts to make her task easy and the officers of the baggage department have been very accommodat ing. Miss Harris, one of the teachers, has been provided with free transportation to Vanceboro for the purpose of conducting to that point a party of children who live in Aroostook and adjoining counties. Miss Estabrook another of the teachers is to take a party of children as far as Jonesport. When the pupils return in September it is hoped to have the dormitory ready to receive them. Capt. Orr handled the Beatrice m great shape. In the third class the Leila soon ran ahead of the L F. R., and on the second round increased her lead. Both boats sailed well. After the races there was much chat ting by members in the club house over the events of the day, and former races were generally referred to and discussed. Ex-Comomdore Smith, who is an expert in yachting and has owned and sailed some of the fastest vessels out of Maine, expressed and opinion that if the Colonia was furnished with a centre-board she would make a better cup defender against Valkyrie, III than the now Defender. He thinks the Colonia is the best boat that ever came out of a boat builder’s hands for racing purposes. The following is a complete tabulated statement of yesterday’s race with the elapsed time omitted. The oorrect time for the race between the Viva and Beat rice cannot be given as the measurer has to measure the Beatrice before the exact results of the race between the two yachts is announced. It is thought, however, that the victory will be with the Viva. FIRST CLASS. Starting Tims, Finished Time.; Cor. Time. Sh. Beatrice, 10.47.22 4.09.1(1 Sloop Viva, 10.46.11 4.03.35 SECOND CLASS. Sip.

THE BLACK BULL DOC HAS ARRIVED r _____ General Gossip on Matters of Interest at Rigby, Division Superintendent Merritt of the Boston Maine railroad was in town yesterday and visited Rigby Park to look the ground over and see what improve ments were necessary to successfullly handle the freight and passenger business at that point this season. After consult ing Manager Farnham as to the wishes of the track association, he decided to order the construction of two new sid ings, to extend the bulkhead where the horses are unloaded to twice its present length, and to have platforms, etc., built for the Convenience of the patrons of the track. The platform will meet a long felt want. Some of the New England Fair stakes have not filled to the entiro satisfaction of the management and will bo replaced by class events As the Now England Fair week is a regular Eastern Circuit date, there will be no trouble in provid ing races of the best kind in place of the stakes.

Secretary Twitchell of the Maine State Fair was in town the other day and stat ed that the floral parade, to be given in connection with the fair in Lewiston this year is bound to be a great suocess. It behooves Portland people to “get togeth er” and set Lewistonians a good example to follow, for our own parade comes a week ahead of the one in Lewiston. Mahlon, “the black bull dog” as is termed by horsemen, arrived at Rigby the first of the week and is now in charge of Ira Woodbury, who handled him so cleverly last season. The handsome son of Alcantara wintered extremely well and never looked better than at present. Unless something unforeseen happens he should come very close to 3.10 this year. He displays the same spirit of determina tion in his work that he does in a race, a spirit that has won the admiration of all who have over seen him take the word. ANNUAL MEETING Of the Women’s Christian Association Held Yesterday. The annual meeting of the Portland Women’s Christian Association was held at the rooms on Spring street yesterday afternoon, at which the following officers were elected: President—Mrs. Asa Dalton. Vice President—Miss C. M. Dalton. Second Vice—Mrs. Walter Wells. Secretary—Mrs. John Higgins. Treasurer—Mrs. V. P. Dow. Directors—Mrs. Ernestine Libby, Miss Erastus Gould, Mrs. Charles E. Baliey, Mrs. Sarah S. Frye, Mrs. E. G. Spring, Mrs. H. H. Payne, Mrs. H. H. Hobbs, Miss Jennie Crie, Mrs. Prentiss Loring, Mrs. L. B. Roberts, Mrs. Peter Watts, Mrs. Philip Borden, Miss Ella Hayes, Mrs. G. B. Swazey, Mrs. T. H. Sampson, Mrs. P. Bonncy, Miss Abba Leavitt, Miss Lizzie Barrett, Miss Martha McKcnney, Mrs. James P. Baxter. The secretary reported as follows: The month of June brings us to the end of another period of association history. Most of the year nothing occurred to change the usual routine from month to month. November 36, we observed the twenty fifth anniversary of the Portland Women’s Christian association in State street church, with a sermon by Rev. Dr. Jenkins, which was much enjoyed by all present. In March, Mrs. W. S. Dana, one of the most active and beloved members of the board, was called home to her reward in Heaven. She was one of the first to be identified with this association, and as one of the home committee had great re sponsibility. In her removal the associa tion looses one of rare good sense and in fluence. The twenty-fifth annual report has also been printed. The years of 1894 and 1895 have been years of financial disturbance, which has affected the boarding home. There has not been the usual number in the Home, but we owe much to the faithful matron who has kept the house almost to perfec tion in order, cheerfulness and comfort. She reports that financially tho home has been self supporting including her own salary. Rev. Mr. Wilson has continued his missionary work for the association. He has spent much of his time in house to house visitation; gathering in children to Sunday [schools and introducing those who have no church homo and desire one, to the different churches of their choice, distributing reading and Bibles where there are none. While he occasionally meets with rebuffs, he is generally re ceived kindly, and tracts received and eagerly read. During the last year we learn from his reports, which are made quarterly, that he has found hearts un usually tender and ready to receive Christian council. Tho ladies are more and more convinced of the great need of this kind of work, and of preventive and aggrosssive work for the young of our city, and we rejoice in all that is being done for the home makers and mothers of tho future. Respectfully submitted, E. M. HIGGINS, Secretary. Fire Department Telephone Fine, The fire department will soon have a private telephone line of its own. It is proposed to connect the different engine houses in the city by a metallic telephone service and have a central office for the line in the central fire station. All the telephones in the engine houses are to be removed excepting the one in central fire station. This is to be used for still alarms and by the members of the fire depart ment only. Tho still alarms will be transmitted to the various engine houses by means of the private fire department wire. The present telephone service of the city costs about $800 a year and after the private circuit iu completed nearly all of this amount will be saved. The instruments which will be put in for this service are to be hired from tho Bell com pany and the cirouit will be constructed by the city electrician with very little cost. The line is to be built at once. Bargain buyers are buying bargains in business suits of A. F. Hill Co. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. -___ H iHiiiMimw—■ Mil—nm—iihihiiii hi iMi<nrr~""rr. Narcoti-Cure CURES THE TOBACCO HABIT IN 4 TO 10 BAYS OR MONEY REFUNDED. Use All the Tobacco You Want Til! Your “Craving” is Gone. Narcoti-Cure is the only remedy in the world that acts directly on the nerves and drives the niootine from the system in from four to ten days. It leaves the patient in better health than before taking, and it is warranted free from any injurious ingredients. Narcoti-Cure is popular because it allows the patient to use all the tobacco he wants while under treatment, or until the “craving” and “hankering’’are gone. It is then no sacrifice to throw away tobacco forever. I Narcoti-Cure is sold at the uniform price of $5.00 a bottle, and one bottle cures. Money refunded if a cure is not effected when taken accord ing to directions. PROF. W. N. WAITE, Of Arnerst, Chewed Tobacco for 46 Years, and Was Cured by Narcoti-Cure. Amherst, Mass., February 8,1895. The Narcoti Chemical Co., Springfield. Mass. Gentlemen:—Replying to yours of the 1st, would say that I have used tobacco for 46 years, and of late have consumed a 10-cent plug a day, besides smoking considerably. 1 commenced to use tobacco when I was 11 years old, and have never been able to give up the habit until I took Narcoti-Cure, although I have tried other so-called reme dies without effect. After using your reme dy four days, all hankeriug” for chewing disappeared, and in four days more smok ing became unpleasant. 1 have no further desire for the weed, and experienced no bad effects, whatever. I am gaining in flesh, and feel better than I have for a long time. To all who wish to be free from the tobacco habit I would say, use Narcoti Cure. Yuurs truly, IV. N. WAITE.

—-.—I LOXG AX'D USEFUL SERVICE. Marine Editor Albert G. French and His Record.

Ho Set First Fine of Type on tlie Port land Daily Press—A Connection Hon orable to Himself and His Employers. One of the oldest journalists in Maine. as well as the oldest member of the staff of the PRESS, is Mr. A. G. French. Mr. French is now at his summer home in Gorham, taking the first real vacation of his long and useful life. Mr. French has long held the position of dean of the PRESS staff. He set the first prospectus of the PRESS when it was established as the organ of ity of whose administration is most sig nally! exhibited, not only in the match less operations of our army and navy, but in the unparalleled fact that in the midt of this gigantic rebellion, our gov ernment securities are selling at a premi um. Upon the subject of domestic sla very this prospectus is equally out spoken stigmatizing it as “the foulest blot upon our national character.” The original force of the PRESS, as it started out in June, 1802, Mr. French re members well. N. A. Foster J. T. Gil man and Joseph B. Hall were the pro prietors, Mr. Foster having the largest share, and the style of the firm being. N. A Foster Co. John T. Gilman was editor-in-chief, and Frank Jones, who very soon went to the war, was local edi tor. Frank Follet was foreman, and John Turner pressman. George Lefavor, who for so many years before his decease was foreman of this office, was one of the compositors. Others of tho force were Leroy Foster, Charles Arris, A1 Kimball, Prentiss Loring, Harry Cushing and Bar ney Bonney. Of all this list the only living ones, be sides Mr. French, are Prentiss Loring who was bookkeeper, John T. Gilman, the editor, and John Turner, the press man. Mr. French began as compositor sim ply, and in that position served several years; but for twenty years or more he has filled the position of marine editor. In all these years he has been a familiar figure about the wharves and in the ship ping offices of Portland; and few men are better acquainted with the mariners and shipping interests of Maine than he. *5000 FOR COLBY. Maine Institution Bemembered in WiU of ALBERT G. FRENCH, the patriotic Union party in the dark war days of June, 1S62. Every year and month, almost every day, during the thirty three years since that eventful date, has seen Mr. French at his case or desk. In all those years the pleasantest relations have always existed between Mr. French and his associates—a fact which speaks volumes to his credit and to the credit of the paper and its manage ment. Early this spring a trouble with his eyes compelled Mr. French to take this vacation, but he expects to return to his work in the fall. Mr. French’s full name is Albert Gal latin French. His faflier came from Mas sachusetts to Portland, and the son was born in this city in 1832. He went to Miss Cumston’s school as soon as he was old enough. His parents moved to Bart lett, N. H., when he was fourteen years of age; but in two years, at the age of sixteen, he returned to Portland and be gan to leanr the printer’s trade with John Edwards, who then (in 1848) was publishing a morning tri-weekly paper called the Portland Bulletin. Mr. French was an apprentice, and with the other two apprentices boarded at the home of their proprietor. It was the duty of these boys to arise at 4 o’clock in the morning, go to the office, and roll off the papers on an old hand press. Each boy rolled a certain number of papers and then de parted with them to deliver to customers. The pay of the apprentices in those days was fifty cents a week and board. Mr. French’s parents provided his clothes. the Late Eustis C. Fitz. Colby University receives a bequest of $5000 from the will of the late Eustis C Pitz, of Boston. Mr. Pitz has been a prominent business man of Massachu setts, a man of the iron firm of Fitz, Dana Fuller. He had been a State Senator, and member of the Governor’s staff. He was a prominent Baptist and has always been very liberal to institu tions. Little Samaritans. A garden party will be given by the Little Samaritans on Saturday, June 15th, with Miss McGregor 395 Spring St., from three until eight o’clock. The Ladies’ Mandolin and Guitar club will furnish choice musio. Ice cream cake and strawberries will be for sale. The object of this party is to raise money for the as sistance of friendless boys. It is to be i hoped the public will give them their support and thus aid the society in their good work. Sons of Veterans. Col. Chas. E. Merrill of Auburn will attend the annual encampment of the Maine division, Sons of Veterans, at Farm ington, June 19, 30. Among the promi nent guests will be Major William H. Green, department commander of the G. A. R. of Maine. Division headquarters will be established at “The Willows. It is expected that the attendance will be the largest in the history of the division. An hour will be set aside at the last sess ion of the encampment for memorial ser vices upon the death of the late John C. Blake of Auburn. Portland Directory. The publishers of the Portland Direc ine second year UR" pay was raised :o a dollar, and during the sixth and last year of his apprenticeship be received five dol lars a week and board. During Mr. French’s apprenticeship, the Bulletin was sold to Francis O. J. Smith, and Ira Berry became editor. Having become a journeyman printer Mr. French went to Bangor, and obtained employment with S. P. Dinsmore, who was publishing the old Mercury. When the Mercury suspended publication he went to work for Marcellus Emery, who published the Bangor Weekly Democrat and Daily Journal. Of this paper Mr. French was foreman and pressman. After the war broke out he returned to Portland. It was lucky he did so, for only a few months after he left a Union mob broke into the Democrat office and threw the presses out of the window. Marcellus Emery was one of the men called Copperheads in those days, and his attitude was resented by the Union men. When Mr. French returned to Portland he obtained a place in Foster's printing office. That office was the birthplace of the PORTLAND DAILY PRESS. By the curious changes of politics the Repub lican party in Portland and this part of Maine had found itself without a paper. It was to sustain the government of Abraham Lincoln and encourage the loyal feelings of the Republicans that the PRESS wsa established in June, 1862. The prospectus was set in Foster’s office, and Mr. French did the work of putting it in type. Few papers have ever been established on occasions and for purposes when their high calling could be set forth in such noble words as these: “Politically the PRESS will give an earnest, cordial and generous support to the administration of Abraham Lincoln, who in little more than one year, has indelibly impressed himself upon the nation’s heart as an incorruptible patriot, an inflexible chief magistrate, and an honest man; the abil thanks for a copy of that valuable vol ume for 1895. It is excellent in typog raphy and binding, and sufficiently sub stantial to stand the year’s frequent and constant reference. Nearly 1000 new names have been compiled into this year’s book, a number which the present year of prosperity „hould greatly exceed. A feature of improvement is the printing of the street directory section upon blue tinted paper, thereby giving that valua ble portion of the book a distinguishing mark. The public will be glad to learn of the appearance of this much sought book. Accompanying the directory is a subscriber’s card, entitling the holder to the use of the library of directories to be found at the office of The Thurston Print. N orth Yarmouth. East North Yarmouth, June 14. —Mrs. R. T. Hodsdon is quite ill Mrs. Sarah Lobdell is visiting relatives in Portland.

Mr. and Mrs. Merrill of New Glouces ter recently made a short visit at the home of their niece, Mrs. Martha H. Bray of Stevens Plains Avenuo. They were married on their way hither, at a hotel in Dexter, where they attended the Uni versal ist convention, by Rev. Mr. Rose, of Auburn, a friend of both parties. Our friend, Mrs. Ella Phinney, who will be lovingly remembered by Deering friends, passed away to the liiglior life, from her home in Bridgton, leaving a husband and little son. Mrs. Phinney was the last of the Coolidge family, form erly of Deering Center. Mr. Joseph Cobb, one of the young men whom Deering delights to honor, preached at. All Souls’ last Sunday, to the edifica tion and pleasure of the church. We un derstand that Mr. Cobb will graduate from Tufts Divinity School this month. A happy party from Sunset Hill took a carriage drive to Standish last Wednes day, to attend the Congregational County conference. Bessie Grant, the little daughter o£ Mr. John Grant of Forest Avenue, was run down by a bicycle last week. She suffered from convulsions, and her father was summoned and arrived at two o’clock next morning, when she had partially recovered, and recognized him. She is now much bette r. She has lost memory of the accident. We understand that Miss Cynthia Record, who had her foot amputated last Saturday, i s doing well, considering the shock. STATE STOPICS OF INTEREST. The firm of Furbish Staples, manu iacrurers ot patent tools at Augusta lias dissolved. Mr. Furbush will leave for Portland where he will work in the tool shop of A. W. Simmons. Hon. Omar Clark of Carratunk, was in Augusta Thursday and in reply to a Journal reporter’s question, said that the drives are coming along better than was expected a few weeks ago and that the lumbermen have a bright outlook. The Kennebec Journal says: “The yearly meeting of the New England Friends is now in session at Portland and as usual there will be a good attendance. Portland is a very attractive place at this season of the year for the holding of such conventions and the Friends appreciate the fact fully.” One of the interesting sights along the Kcnnobec river at Augusta is the catch ing of shad. The large catches are made in the evening. The seine is taken and with the aid of a row boat is stretched across the river and then the boat drifts down stream pulling with it the large net. When at the required distance the boat shoots quickly to the shore and pulls in the net filled with fish. Many go down nearly every evening to see to the fishermen pull in tlio shad. A family living in Belfast lately missed from the refrigeratr quantities of food at different times, and last week discovered the thief. It was a neighbor’s dog, who had learned how to open the box and help himself. The Damariscotta Herald reports the alewive season at that place is about over. The catch this year has been a little below last year but a good average for the past few years. Mr. Fred Beed of Nortliport has dis tributed to the farmers about tliero a new variety of pumpkin seeds They grow very large and are highly prized for the rich flavor and their superiority over all others for making pies. To encourage the farmers to raise them Mr. Reed will present to the person raising the heaviest pumpkin in weight, a five dollar bill. uuu i±±a>j u/ uuatuj lUi uuc prize. One day last week Mr. Frank Herrick set a trawl off Wright’s point Northport just for the fun of it, as it has been some fifteen or twenty years since anyone has caught fish that way. The next morning on hauling it his surprise can be bettor imagined than described, when he pulled aboard a fine cod weighing 20 pounds when dressed, and some smaller ones. The County Commissioners have pur chased a desirable lot with twelve rods frontage on Sweden street, for the loca tion of the new Court House in Caribou. The town of Litchfield is to have a cen tennial celebration on the approaching Fourth of July. Although it was first settled in 1777, it was not incorporated until February 18, 1795. As a plantation it was called Smithfleld, from numerous families by the namoof Smith then living there, which families have many descend ants among the present residents of the town. It is a quiet, agricultural town, away from lines of transportation, but the farms are good and some of the scen ery is charming, especially that about Lake Tacoma. The Aroostook Times says that John Seely, of Houlton, has just purchased 15 acres of land in the village of Fort Fair field and has had it laid out for 46 house lots. At this rate it won’t be long before Fort Fairfield will be the “next Maine city. Capt. F. F. Curling, collector of taxes in Tliomaston, has collected every real estate tax but one the past year and In that ease be sold the property. He has collected every poll tax but 18 and these eighteen are over the coals as he lias given them June 20th as the last day of grace. He has collected all but $400 of his total commitment, and of that, amount $200 belongs to non-residents, who are as good as gold and who will pay as soon as they arrive in town. So that Capt Curling is virtually within about $200 of his whole commitment. Tlie East Somerset Agricultural Society indulge in a grand celebration at Hart land, July 4th. The attractions are races at the park, dancing, fantastics and fire works. The smallest visitor to Ellsworth las week was John H. Robbins, of Belfast, a native of Deer Isle. Mr. Robbins is thirty-one years of age, masures thirty six inches in height, and weighs thirty seven pounds, six ounces. The Board of Trade of Ellsworth passed roRolut ions denouncing the action of the city government in refusing to look after the roads in that vicinity. The Appalachian Club. 200 in number, will go to Mt. Desert Island, this sum mer. A three quarter of a mile county road is to he built from Riply to Dexter. HOOD'S PILLS cure Liver Ills, Biliousness, Indigestion, Headache. A pleasant laxative. All Druggists. From the Rev. Dr. EDWARD L. CLARK. j Pastor of the First Congregational Churchy Boston, Mass, g* €<I have used Ripans Tabules with so much satisfaction that I now keep them always at hand. They are the only remedy I use except by a physicians prescription. They are all they claim to be.” Edward L. Clark. J 0 From Rev. FREDERIC R. MARVIN, f Pastor of Hopkins Memorial Churchy Great Barrington, Mas*, I regard the remedy as an excellent tonic and a most valuable family medicine.” 0 j Frederic R. Marvin. A /M ^ST PeoP^e hardly realize that headaches and dyspepsia, and forty other miseries or more, all come from one cause, and that taking a separate rem edy for each symptom is like picking the leaves off an obnoxious tree instead of striking at the root. Headache, or sluggishness, or disordered stomach, or constipa tion, or offensive breath—show that either the stomach or bowels, or the liver, are not doing their natural work, and Ripans Tabules go to the root of all these difficulties and many others at once, by immediately correcting the stomach and gently stimu lating the liver and bowels to healthy action. These Tabules are the accurate prescription of a regular physician they are a perfectly harmless, simple remedy, as mild, yet certain, as nature itself. To people of sedentary ways, professional and business men; and particularly to women, these jTabules insure a regular habit, comfortable digestion, and a clear head; preventing many a serious illness with its long train of suffering and expense. Lay the axe to the root of the tree. /In the largest hospitals in the world, presided over by the most skillful of living physicians, the ingredients of these _, tabules are prescribed daily more than twice as often as any and all other prescriptions put together, and in three cases out of four where a physician is called, his prescription will be substantially the same, but the cost will be much greater, and the compound prepared by the local druggists is likely to be inferior and far less convenient in form. As the two most important processes of life (assimilation of food and elimination of waste) depend almost entirely upon the stomach, liver and bowels their healthy action, as maintained by these tabules, dispels a long list of ailments, including headaches, indigestion, dys pepsia, biliousness, constipation, rush of blood to the head, dizziness, I fluttering of the heart, sluggishness, poor sleep, loss of appetite, de- O pression, heartburn, nausea, bad taste in the mouth, pain in the stomach or abdomen, female complaints, catarrh, jaundice, sallow skin and skin eruptions. A box of Ripans Tabules (price 50 cents) contains six small vest pocket vials, each vial holds six tabules (36 in all) and each tabule is an exact dose.

Address ail communications relating to sub scription and advertisements to Portland Publishing Co.. 97 Exchange Street, Portland. Me._ THE PRESS. SATURDAY, JUNE 18. Col. Henry Watterson declares thst if the Democrats adopt a free silver plat form 10,000 Kentucky Democrats will bolt and give the state to the Republi cans. But ex-Congrossman Bryan an nounces that if they don’t adopt a free silver platform he and his friends will bolt. The next Democratic convention has got to do some very skilful straddling or lose half the party. Ex-Gov. Campbell of Ohio tells the Democrats of that state that he will un der no conditions accept their nomination for governor Campbell is one of the alfiest and most popular Democrats in the state and it was hoped that his name on the ticket would excite some enthusi asm and prevent a complete slump of the Democratic vote. But he evidently has no idea of sacrificing himself for his party’s benefit. Like Mr. Whitney he doesn’t intend to lead a forlorn hope. The Spanish minister’s remark that no such thing as a rebellion would be heard of in Cuba were it not for the Cuban sympathizers in this country may be in a measure true. Without some aid from exiled Cubans in this country an insur rection would be too hopeless a task to undertake. Nevertheless at the bottom of the troubles in the island are not the machinations ol Cubans in this country but the barbarous rule of the Spaniards. The Cubans are systematically plundered partly for the benefit of the home govern ment and partly for the benefit of the officials sent out to rule over them. They are taxed and persecuted into insurrection. Spain has tried massacre and the most barbarous punishments as a means of orushing out the rebellious spirit but without success. Decent government such as England gives Canada, would doubt less soon pacify the great mass of the population, but Spain is incapable of governing well. As far as one can judge from the tele graphed abstract the decision of the Su preme Court of Illinois, annulling the charter of the whiskey combination, is founded on the broad ground that a com Dmation to control prices by preventing competition is illegal. All the trusts are combinations for such purpose, and ail of them effect it in|the same manner, that is, by in one way or another driving out of business all competition so that they have complete control of the product and can put pries up or down as they see fit. Hence all the trusts under this doctrine of the court of Illinois would be illegal. Of course the decisions of the courts of a state are inoperative except within its own boundaries, yet they are not entirely without effect outside. The courts of other states are likely to be influenced by them somewhat It can readily be seen *bat if the doctrine of the Illinois court should bo accepted as sound by the courts o' other states the whole trust business would soon come to an end. This is Western Kansns’ year of pros perity, the rainfall having been sufficient to insure good crops, and, as an early consequence, “Jerry” Simpson has aban doned his campaign tour of mingled ora tion and speculation. The people have no time to attend his meetings now. “Jerry” is an embodied protest. He is the expression of popular discontent. In seasons when the rain docs not fall, or the grasshoppers are thick, or the crops fail for any other cause, which happens in Western Kansas about two years in three, then the farmers have nothing to do but sit around the grocery stores and tell each other how unfortunate they are and how necessary it is that the govern ment should do something for them. At such times they are ready to adopt any crazy proposition and send “Jerry” to Washington to advocate it. This state of things led them to clamor for free silver, because where they have nothing to sell and everything to buy they want cheap money to buy with; but this year they will have crops to sell ami they, natur ally, want to sell fb£ gold. During the last few days, the friends of ex-Senator John James Ingalls have set rest all uncertainties as to the candi Sjaqy of that.erratic statesman for the seat now occupied by Senator Peffer. Ingalls is in the field, without any equivocation or mental reservation, and all the numer ous aspirants for the position will soon so understand it. During the long and varying contest, last winter there was a strong disposition among his friends out side the De^skjture to dispel all uncer tainty and solve the situation by making a bqjff play for Ingalls at the proper time. Numerous petitions, instructions and requests came from every portion of the State, requesting the Republican repre sentatives to rally on the Ingalls stand ard, and there was at that time no doubt as to his popularity among the voters of the party. But to all entreaties, and even demands, Ingalls made the same cool, determined reply: “But lam not a candidate for the Senate—not now. The new law of Michigan providing for the pensioning of teachers after twenty five years of service is not popular among those supposed to be benefitted by it. The teachers object to the appropriation of one per cent, of their salaries to establish the fund, the law requiring that deduc tion to be made. Having earned their money they contend that part, of it should not be taken without their consent. In addition to this ground of complaint there is another unjust feature. A teach er who leaves the State after twenty years of satisfactory service and the annual payment of the tax is prohibited from claiming any income, and the plan of in creasing the fund by deductions from sakiries in cases of sickness is very un popular. RELIGIOUS NOTES A Roman Catholic street preaching mission is being organized in Cleveland. Its work will be similar to that of the Salvation Army, but it will not adopt the fantastic methods of that organization. Joseph Benton of Metropolis, 111., better known as the “blind boy preacher,” had ueen totally UJinu iruiii iinanuy, a periuu of twenty years, until Monday night, when his sight was suddenly restored, and he now sees perfectly. A had break in a curate’s sermon is re ported in the Church Times. After ap pealing to the old with “And you old men with your hoary head,’’he turned to the young men with the appeal: “And you young men with your blooming cheek.” He tried to change the phrase but it was too iate. PERSONALAND PECULIAR. G. W. Botsford, Ph. D., who has just been appointed lecturing instructor in Greek and Latin history in Harvard, is a little over 30 years old and is a graduate of the University of Kansas. Prince Dimitri Khilroy, a rich Russian nobleman, has followed Tolstoi's advice and divided his estate among his peas ants, reserving only seven acres to him self, which he cultivates to support his samily. He devotes his spare time to teaching the peasants. Matthew Boulton and James Watt’s Soho foundry at Birmingham, where Watt -worked out his idea of the steam engine, after an existence of 133 years, is now idle, and will soon be broken up and dismantled. At one time it employed 4,000 men, but its business died away, and when it closed its doors it had only 400. P. L. Coombs of California, ex-Minis ter to Japan, thinks opportunities for Americans in Japan are not good, as the Japanese are themselves back of every new enterprise like the introduction of electricity, and others meant to develop the empire. “The Japanese have the money too, to push forward these thing's,” said Mr. Coombs. “They do not have to borrow it. Their exports' last year exceeded the imports by ¥20,000,000, and sums like i this in a small country, among economical people, count a good deal. Jose do Heredia, the Cuban poet, has just been received into the French Acade my. Henry Irving acted in “Don Quixote” on the evening of the day on which it be came known that he had been knighted. When Maria in the play says to the hero, “But you have not been knighted!” the audience rose and cheered, and toward the end of the Dlav. where he savs. “Knighthood sits like a halo round my head,” the play had again to be stopped for several minutes, till the house quieted down. The emblem which the Republicans of Kentucky have selected for the distin guishing mark on their ballot is the log cabin. While storming the first line of forts at Port Arthur a soldier belonging to the Twenty-fourth Regiment raised his rifle to fire at an unusually conspicuous Chi naman. Just as he was about to fire a bullet from the enemy’s side came whizz ing on and,, marvellous to relate, entered the barrel of his own gun as smoothly and neatly as if the muzzles had been placed mouth to mouth. Of course there was an explosion, and the soldier’s piece was shattered to the stock, but without his receiving any injuircs whatever. A fractional variation to the right or left would have caused the hostile bullet to enter his head or face, so that his escape was nothing short of miraculous. He preserved the stock of the now useless weapon, and afterward exhibited it to his Colonel, who permitted him to keep it as a memento oi his narrow escape. A sad sequel to the wild rush into the Kickapoo reservation was viewed in Guthrie when a man named Valchester, from southwest Kansas, drove through the city en route to his old home, having in his wagon a coffin containing the bod ies of his wife and five-year-old child, who were both killed in the rush for claims at the recent opening. In the first wild dash Valchester's wagon struck a stone, was partly overturned, throwing out the wife and little one, who wero trampled to death by a score or more of horses. i I A Historical Document. (New York Sun.) Thirty years ago to-day Gen. Robort Edward Lee, the great soldier of tlio Con federacy, never greater than in the hour of the failure of his cause, wrote to Presi dent Johnson a letter applying for the benefits of amnesty and restoration to his civil rights as a citizen of the United States. Johnson’s proclamation of general am nesty had been issued on May 29. Sixteen classes of persons were specifically exclud ed. Lee was excluded not only because he was a West Pointer and had been a military officer of the Confederate Gov ernment ranking higher than Colonel, but also because he belonged to the thir teenth class excepted, namely, those per sons who had voluntarily participated in the rebellion, and the value of whose tax able property was over $20,000. The am nesty proclamation ot May 29, 1866, pro vided, however, that special application for pardon might be made by any person belonging to the classes excepted; and Gen. Lee therefore wrote the subjoined letter: “Richmond, Va., June 13, 1865. “His Exc’y, Andrew Johnson, ‘President of the United States. “Sir: Being excluded from the provis ions of amnesty contained in the procla mation of the 29th ult., I lioreby apply for the benefits, and full restoration of all rights and privileges, extended to those included in its terms. I graduated from the Military Academy at West Point in June, 1829; resigned from the U. S. Army, April, 1861 was a General in the Confederate Army, and inoluded in the surrender of the Army of N. Va April 9, 1865. “I have the honor to be, Very respect fully Yr. obdt. svt. (sgd) “R. E. LEE.” The copy we have of this document is attested by Gen George Washington Custis Lee, the eldest son of the great Confederate Commander; and Gen. G. W. C. Lee adds this highly interesting historical note concerning his father's motives in making so promptly an appli cation to President Johnson for amnesty: ‘1 When Gen. Lee requested me to make a copy of this letter to President Johnson, he remarked: It was but right for him to set an example of making formal sub mission to the Civil Authorities; and that he thought, by so doing, he might possi bly be in a better position to be of use to In laying to-day before our readers and the public Gen. Robert E. Lee’s applica tion for pardon, and his own declaration of the motives prompting him to one of the most heroic acts of a life full of hero ism, The Sun feels that it is adding lustre to a noble fame which is constantly grow ing as the years past, and which is justly appreciated and generally prized in the North, as well as in the South.

Uncle Sam's Clothing Co. Is the liveliest, most wideawake Cloth* iiiS Concern in the State of Maine. —Always After Bargains. ..Continually Getting ’Em. .■■Forever Selling ’Em.. To Our Old Friends -and Patrons: A word of explanation is due you. When we opened our Branch Store in Portland we adopted the name of Uncle Sam’s Clothing Co. We are free to admit ’twas a mistake.

It was the 7th annual report. There have been notable improvements in the school buildings. A new gymnasium is much needed and sub scriptions to the amount of *1000 have been raised. The number of scholars for the year lias been: boarders, 145; day students, 11; day art students, 21; total, 177. The officers ore the same as the year before. The resources for the school year of '94 show a total of 154,470 62. The expendi tures fall short of this by a balance of *4, 497.18. The report of the committee in charge of Oak Grove Seminary, Vassalboro, Me., was next considered. It was the 11th an nual report. The school year commenced with an unusually large attendance of pupils, and the fall term was among the most successful in the history of the school. The winter term prolonged well until the 8th week when there was an epidemic of scarlet fever. A strict quar intine was imposed and continued until the close of the term. There were 12 cases in a mild form. The usual rou tine was continued without much inter ruption. All of the 'pupils, with a single ex ception, became converted to Christ dur ing the year. At the close of the term there was a thorough disinfection of the building. The graduating class num bered 10 boys and six girls. During the year Mrs. R.Tane Cox, of Portland, presented the school with $1000, in memory of hor late husband,Augustus F. Cox. The school under its present management is doing a work which Friends all over New England may well rejoice. The present faculty consists of Henry H. Goddard, A.M., principal, and math maties; Wm. A.Estes, A.B., languages: Sibil Stanley, B.S., science; Harrietts A. Collins, governess, history and Eng lish Herbert B. Cole, commercial depart i ment; Emma J. R. Goddard, primary do partment; Kate R. Smith, instrumental music; Jennie B.Hubbard, vocal music; Sarah D. Bang, painting and drawing. The receipts lor tho year were $10,940.04. The expenditures were loss than this by a balance of $1,577.80. The general committee on education re ported that they had expended $30 for live articles published in the American Friend, educational topics, also there was published a statistical account of the Friends’ schools and colleges in this country and Canada. The committee urged the importance of a liberal educa tion and called attention to the fact that all other but Friends’ schools, are in troducing military training. This is a special reason for renewed effort to support the schools that are training the young in the principles of poace. THE EVENING EXERCISES. The evening was devoted to a discus sion of educational topics by general speakers. The exercises opened by the reading of the Scriptures by Prof. Barton of Bryn Myr College, Pennsylvania. After prayer and singing Prof. Barton, who presided, introduced Mr. Rufus M. Jones of Philadelphia, editor of tho Ame rican Friend. Mr. Jones said that the company was assembled to consider tho enlargement of the whole man, and especially the way in which the education of a man may aid him in better appreciation of spiritual truth. There is a deepor and larger self present in all of us than wo generally realize. Education makes us realize the possibilities of this larger self. Hno t.lin TvvrvcW- nmnoitlniMo fll 1 n cry in our age is that we have learned to take a little idiot child, a clay image, and ojjeu his skull and allow his brain to expand, and give him a chance to be come another Phillips Brooks, perhaps. Without that aid ho would have died an idiot man. Now if this is possible with an idiot child, what is not possible with a normal child. The infant has nothing spiritual in it. It leans to love its mother with a selfish love, because she provides for its necessities. Even sacred love begins in selfishness, but it has spiritual possi bilities and (properly developed because the generous spiritual love and sympathy of so many noble men and women. Every babe of this world that has seen a robust and thoughtful age, has seen an age of spiritual faith, and where faith has been lacking, ignorance has pre vailed. We want the kind of education thut will make people investigate things and fill them with an eager search after the highest and best things. Wherever there is a high degree of ignorance in a religious body, there is a place for cranks to assemble and exert an influence, because” the people have no rock of knowledge to anchor to. We want to have our roots deep dowu in the knowledge of things, so that we can withstand whatever blast of new theories may come along. The speaker urged that the Friends want the largest possibilities of every membor rounded out by education so that they may grasp the great spiritual truths. He wanted to See the Now England Friends one of the strongest bodies of the world. He loved New England, and he loved the Friends, and he longed to see them a strong body intollecutally as well as spiritually. He believed in emotion as a groat gift of God, but without the guidance of education emotion is like a machine that destroys itself because it has no regulator. HENRY H. GODDARD, The next speaker was Henry H. God dard, principal of Oak Grove Seminary, who spoke upon the influence of educa tion upon the moral and religions life. The range of opinion extends from the idea that education is, in this con vention, harmful to the idea that educa tion is a necessary condition for moral and religious life. Somo have boen led astray by the reason that if we follow conscience we cannot do wrong. But conscience allows one man to do a deed that it tells another is wrong. It allows a Hindoo mother to throw her baby into the Ganges, while to our conscience this is an atrocious deed. It is urged that people’s consciences are warped, and that therefore they must be born again. But regeneration does not change conscience. Dovout people have very different consciences. What then is conscience? Conscience is a force that impels us to do what we may have judged to bo right. Conscience does not do the judging. But it impels every m 11T1 in PVPTir lnnrl frl<-v mViof. lin linrl judged to bo right. Thus conscience is a universal power of tho soul. Jit presup poses a judgment by the mind of what is right and wrong. Judgment is the re sult on concept, of ideas, and these de pend upon the education of tho mind. Thus conscience is absolutely depondcnt upon education. WALTER S. HEADER. Waltor S. Meador of the Friends’ Board ing SchooJ, Providence, R.L, spoke upon the relation of education to religious work. He declared that Friends believe that the religious work of farmors and laborers, inspired with spiritual zoal, is more effective than that of the colloge educated clergyman without this spirit. The true preacher is God-made, not college-made. Yet we err, if we do not realize the value of education to the preacher. The object of Christian work is to teach others the truths of Chris tianity. It is ignorance that keeps us from Christ. All sin is ignorance. No man ever gets a glimpse of the beauty of God's character without bowing down before it. The first requisite of the teacher is a knowledge of the subject taught. So the Christian teacher should have a thorough knowledge of his subject. He must be a living example of the bene ficent effect of such knowledge. Mr. Header spoke at some length upon the danger of a little knowledge to the rising generation of today. Young Ame rica is getting the atheistic teachings, which are all too common in the public press and magizines and novels, and this little knowledge is harmful, because it is adjudged to be all knowledge, since it arrogates that position to itself. Young America needs teachers who will correct this baneful influence. Other speakers wore Rev. Dr. Trueblood of Boston, and Dr. Augustine Jones, principal of the Friends’ School in Provi dence, R. I. OBITUARY. Alvah Littlefield. With the decease of Mr. Alvah Little field, which took place on Wednesday at the Langham hotel, Boston, lost its oldest druggist and one of its most esteemed and respected citizens. Mr. Littlefield was born at Winterport, Me., in 1818, and at an early age went to Calais, where he studied pharmacy. Somewhere in the vicinity of 1840 he came to Boston and was employed by a prominent physician, his connections with the latter in his ex tensive practice bringing him the title of “Doctor.” Finally he launched into business for liimsol f, opening a drug storo under the United States hotel, where he did a flourishing business for forty years. John Dean. In Buxton Centre, June 8th, Mr. John Dean died, aged 83, years, 6 months and 18 days. More than fifty years ago Brother Dean united with the Baptist church in this place. Quite early in life he took decided views on the temporance question and he was over aftor a staunch defender of that noble cause. Like a shock of corn fully ripe” he has been gathered to his eternal rest. Cape Elizabeth Town Meeting.

ASI ALPENA MIRACLE. Sirs. jas. m. todd, of long RAPIDS, DISCARDS HER CRUTCHES. In an Interview with a Reporter She Re views Her Experience and tells the Real Cause of' the Mirnclc. (From the Argus, Alpena, Mich.) We have long known Mrs. Jas. M. Todd, of Long Rapids, Alpena Co., Mich. She has been a sad cripple. Many of her friends know the story of her recovery; for the benefit of those who do not we publish it to-day. Eight years ago she was taken with nervous prostration, and in a few months with muscular and inflammatory rheu matism. It a ffocted her heart, then her head. Her feet became so swollen she could wear nothing on them; her hands were drawn all out of shape. Her eyes were swollen shut more than half the time, her knee joints terribly swollen and for eighteen months she hod to be held up to be dressed. One limb became en tirely helpless, and the skin was so dry and cracked that it would bleed. During those eight years she had been treated by a score of physicians, and has also spent much time at Ann Arbor under best medical advice. All said her trouble was brought on bv hard work and that medi cine would not cure, and that rest was the only tiling which would ease her. After going to live with her daughter she be came entirely helpless and could not even raise her arms to cover herself at night. Thu interesting part of the story follows In her own words; “I was urged to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People and at last did so. In three days after I commenced taking Pink Pills I could sit up and dress my self, and after using them six weeks I went home and commenced working. I continued taking the pills, until now I begin to forget my crutches, and can go up and down steps without aid. I am truly a living wonder, walking out of tritbnnf, innA 11 '"?fow, it I can gay anything to induce those who have suffered as I have, to try Pink Pills. I shall gladly do so. If other like sufferers will try Pink Pills accord ing to directions, they will have reason to thank God for creating men who are able to conquer that terrible disease, rheuma tism- I have in my own neighborhood recommended Pink Pills for the after effects of la grippe, and weak women With impure blood, and with good re Spss.” TUlrs. Todd is very strong fin her faith in the curative powers of Pink Pills, and says they have brought a poor, helpless cripple back to do her owu milking, churning, washing, sewing, knitting, and in fact about all of her household duties, thanks to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all th. elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Wiliams’ Medicine Company, Schen ectady, N. Y., for 50c. per box or six boxes for $2.50. (J.

Where They are Made. How They are Made and What They are Made Out of. The violin, it. is said, is the only musi cal instrument that possesses a soul. But the quality of its harmonies depends as much upt^adm strings as upon its body. hftmaSufacture of these threads of cat gut, from which a master of the art is able to draw such exquisite strains, is an important industry. It is not carried on in this country to any extent—at all events, the finer qualities of strings are not made here, because American sheep do not have the right sort of intestines. Catgut, contrary to the popular notion, is not derived from the back-fence tabby, but from lambs. A manufacturing center for violin strings is the town of Markncikirchen, in Saxony. The business there is a vory old one, and is believed to have been started originally by immigrating Protestant Bohemians during or soon after the Thirty Years’ War. The processes em ployed have always been kept secret, be ing handed down from father to son, gen eration after generation. However, the methods in a general way are sufficiently well known for purposes of description. In 1777 a union of stringmukors was founded and a law was passed forbid ding any one not a member of this organ ization from plying the oraft, penalties of fine and imprisonment being established. The secret held most important was the composition of the lye mixture employed to bleach the strings. In oldjdays like wise evory maker of violins had his own peculiar varnish. He was perpetually seeking to discover the philosopher’s stone "of his trade —namely, a varnish such as that used by Stradivarius, Guar nerius and A mati, which should impart to his instruments an imperishable beau ty, wnne revealing me salin-iiso uuimi of tlio wood beneath. But since the days of those celebrated and unequaiod manu facturers of fiddles the production of such a varnish has been a lost art. These facts are summed tip by Oscar Gottschalk, United States Consular Agent at Markneukicken, in a communication just received by the Stato Department at Washington. Ho says that the makers of strings at Markeukiclien formerly got their raw material in Germany. But in 1840 the whole town was burned up, and one manufacturer went away in search of a livelihood, finally reaching Copenhagen. Noticing large flocks of sheep in Den mark, he bought some of the guts and made strings of them, which were found to be of better quality then the home brand. This discovery resulted in large importations of the article in to Mar kneukirchen, and at about the same time the first strings were exported thence to the United States. Since then the indus try has depended largely' upon. _ American buyers. The supply of material for the finest strings has at no time equaled the de mand and half the world has been ran sacked for slieep-gut possessing the requisite qualities. In 18fil another en terprising citizen of Markneukirchen crossed Russia—at that time a venture of no small peril—and bought quantities of the intestines of the steppe sheep of that country. These were found to be supe rior to anything previously obtained, and to the present day manufacturers at Markneukirchen get the bulk of their slieep-gut from Russia, amounting an nually to about $200,000 worth. Other material is imported from England, Denmark, Spain, Bulgaria, Turkey, Java and Palestine. Unfortunately, the Rus sian gut has deteriorated since the flock owners have crossed the breeds of the steppe sheep and the Spanish sheep for the sake of improving the wool. The qualities desired in catgut for violin strings are a symmetrically cylindrical form combined with a transparent white ness. Ordinarily the purchaser contracts with the breeder for all of his gut for at least one year. He has his own cleaning establishment annexed to the slaughter house, and in person supervises the process. Immediately after the animal is killed all grease and foreign matter must lie removed from the intestines, olse the latter will become discolored. Then they are wound on frames and left to dry in the open air. The gut for a musical string must be from a lamb born in spring and slaughtered not later than October or November of the same year; those from older sheep can be used only for bass strings or for minor purposes. The best quality is termed summer gut, being from a lamb killed in summer. It is chiefly employed to make E 3tr'ps, which are the most important. “Spring gut” is second quality; though lacking tonaoity it is good enough for G, D and A strings! The dried intestines, when they reach the manufacturer, are placed in earthen vats containing lye. Atter soaking for twenty-four hours they are unraveled. Again they are put into' lye, being sub jected to repeated baths in this substance. Meanwhile they are manipulated again and again for cleansing, the external membranes being'removed, so as to leave only the fibrous material. They are bleached in a sulphur bath and exposed to the sun. The next process is to rub each string with pnmioc stone, to remove any inequalities and to {.bring it down to the requisite diameter. A polish is ap plied by frequent wiping with olive oil. Before shipment, the strings are dried, cut, rolled and assorted according to color They will retain their Quality for an indefinite period if inclosed in hermeti cally sealed boxes. The best violin strings are of Italian manufacture. The demand for them is so large that ten times as many Italian strings are sold as Italy is able to pro duce. Markneukircheu turns out large quantities of socalled Italian strings. Special care is taken to make them equal to the best. They are put up in Italian fashion, and sometimes are disposed of as “Padua” strings—Padua being the Italian city where musical string* are chiefly made. An expert string-maker in Germany earns from $3.57 to $5 a weok As iias been stated only musical strings of inferior qualities are made in the United States. The intestine of 'the American sheep is not suitable material, because, from the spring lamb it is too weak, and from the summer sheep it lias a wart-like growth every 3 or 4 feet which unfits it for use. The olimate of this couutry is also too hot, causing the gut to ferment before it has been through the requisite number of lye baths. Experts from Markneukirchen have come to the United States for the purpose of practic ing their craft here, but for the reasons mentioned they have not succeeded very well.

South Carolina Will Now Disfranchise them En Masse. A despatch from Columbia S. C., says tho reversal by the Court of Appeals of the decision of Judge Goff on the state registration law was news most gratifying to the state administration and most de pressing in its effects upon the negro leaders and their white allies. For months the negroes of the state have been making the most earnest efforts to raise tho funds with which to employ counsel to aid in overturning tho election laws of the stato, and great was their de light when on May 8, Judge Goff declared the registration laws to be in violation of the constitution of the United States, in that, while they did not uso specific terms, they practically disfranchised the negroes as a race in South Carolina. The reversal of the decision has swept away the hopes that were beginning to go so high. The negroes have been encouraged to make this effort against the registration laws because of the fact that tho consti tutional convention whicii will moot in September will be controlled by tho 01 cue state, wno, tne negroes fear, will make such changes in the pres ent, constitution as will bear hard upon them as a race and deprive them of any participation in the government. Rev. E. H. Colt, pastor of tho largest colored church in the city, says that he will now advocate a wholesale emigration of the race from South Carolina that, ho believes it to be the purpose of the party in power to so limit the suffrage as to ex clude tho negro from participation in the government, and then to destroy the public school system so that the negro will bo unable ever t,p become qualified to vote, Rev. W. I). Chappell, chairman of the Ijlinisterlal union, which has been controlling the policy of the negroes for some time, says that hp sees but, one course open to die negroesJn this state— emigration to some other Southern state; that the South, outside of Sdutb Chroliim is the best plaoo £or the negro race in general. Ifar himself, he will go to the North He says ho fears that vengeance will be wrought}jripQn"the negroes ^for at tempting to overturn the registration lafos. Ex-Postmaster Clayton, the most in fluential Kepublican in the city, says: “I am not surprised at the decision of the court of appeals, virtually disfranchising the whole negro race iu'South Carolina. Outside influence from whatever source cannot make the negro a successful factor in South Carolina politics. His rights at the ballot box can be secured only through the efforts of the white people among whom ho lives. I think the one course of defense left to the negro is to leave the state. I expect the constitution al convention to disfranchise the negro as a race en masse. A race convention, to meet in Columbia on July 10, has been called by a commit tee of tho most prominent negroes in Columbia to consider the condition of the race and advise what course shall bo pur sued. It is understood that an appeal will he taken from the decision of the court of appeals to tho United States supreme court; but the negro leaders here do not soem to place much confidence in this and have lost all hope of doing anything further in tho matter. The mass of the white people of the state are very much gratified at the decis ion, and they do not foresee the harmful results to tho negroes that the latter fear. It seems to bo generally understood that the suffrage is to ho limited, and that such a qualification will be made as for ever to relieve the state of all danger of negro domination. Hut what has made the negroes nervous was tho declaration of Senator Tillman that no white man would be disfranchised except for crime, iiml tlmt white suuremacv would ho fnn. ever insured; his advocacy of a large poll tax and a general feeling that the consti tutional two-mill school tax would be abolished and each race required to pay for its own schools.
