Says This Is a Campaign of Education in Which Newspapers Are Not Doing Their Part—A Statement Which Elec tion Day Is Likely to Disprove. Chester, Pa., September 21.—William J. Bryan left Wilmington, Dei., at 10.06 this morning and reaohed Chester at 10.23. He made the trip in a special oar attaohed to the regular train. Senator Gray of Delaware was on the train and oame into Mr.Bryan's oar. The candidate and the senator chatted together until Chester was reached. The speoial oar was crowded with members of the reception committees from Philadelphia and Chester. A large crowd received Mr. Bryan at the station and many followed the car riage that conveyed him to Turner and Woodrow park, where the speakers’ stand nau oer.n erected. Mr. Bryan was cheered by a good sized andienoe there. While he was talking it began to rain, but not bard enough to cause the audl euoe to disperse. Hon. Frank B. Rhodes introduced Mr. Bryan who spoke as fol lows: I shall not keep you standing long in the rain. I simply desire to appear be fore you to assure you that If elected I shall try to carry out the policies set forth in the Chicago platform. (Cheers.) Your chairman introduced me as the nominee of a great politioal party. I am the nominee of three parties all agreeing that the money question rises above all others and most be settled first. We have reaohed a crisis in monetary affairs where our financial policy has been run by a few syndicates in their interest. Tue Republican platform declares in favor of tbe present financial polioy, and that means the manner in which it has been maintained. The present system means bard times. All those in fayor of ountinnlDg hard times will vote for my opponent. I am satisfied to have them do so if those who are opposed to hard times will vote for me. (Applause.) From the stand Mr. Bryan went to the Colonnade hotel where he held a recep tion, leaving there iD time to take the 11.43 train for Philadelphia. A special oar had been plaoed at the disposal of the candidate by tbe Philadelphia city com mittee whose members accompanied him on a short trip. Philadelphia, Pa., September 33.—A orowd of .about 500 people were awaiting Mr. Bryan’s arrival at tbe Broad street station of tbe Pennsylvania railroad when be reached it nt 13.06. As tbe can didate came down tbe platform he was cheered heartily nad bowed liis thanks. Mr. Bryan was taken to the Lafayette hotel where a small crowd cheered him as he drove up. In the evening Mr. Bryan spoke at Washington nark to about 4000 persons. Hon. J. T. Wright Introduced Mr. Bryan, who, in part said: “If the gold standard is a good thing and we have had it so many years, why is it so many fail to appreciate its blessings? I will tell yon, because its blessings have only reaobed a few people who Tike it. (Ap plause.) A man who likes that sort of thing is very much pleased with the gold standard, but the number who like it is growing less eaob day. Tbls is a cam paign of ednoation in which the news papers are not doing their share of the work. (Applause.) Tbe reason why every day finds more advocates of free ooinage, is explained by the faot that free coinage of silver is based upon solid rock and is defended by arguments which appeal to the heads of tbose who think and the hearts of those who feel arguments which are only useless when direoted to the pocketbook. (Applause. “We never bad a csv to

CASTORIA For Infants and Children. i A BUCKET SHOP TRANSACTION. Tde Basis of an Interesting Trial In Su preme Court at Auburn. Auburn, September 22.—An interest ing bucket shop case has been on trial here before the supreme court. The plaintiff is Mr. James Nolan of Lewiston and the defendant Vi. W.Clark, also of Lewiston. Mr. Nolan sues to le oover $650 or thereabouts of good money which he invested in stocks at Mr. Clark's offioe. Mr. Nolan’s money never came back and he mourns the loss of It. He claims it on the ground that Mr. Clark was running what by law consti tutes a gambling enterprise and that he was the innocent viotirn of a swindle. He speculated in corn stocks and the re turns or something or other wasn’t satis factory. One would conclude from Mr. Nolan’s testimony that he thought Mr. Clark and his friends had “pulled his leg” and that he really didn’t know the nature of the enterprise until he had in vested quite liberally in it. Tbe testimony of Mr. Clark and Mr. Nolan differed at several points and the jury will have to decide which was in the right. The defence is that Mr. Nolan went into tho scheme of his own free will an acoordad uew all about the conditions and the method of doing business. Mr. Clark is a member of the firm of W. VV. Clark Co., real estate agents and stock .brokers, with an office iu Lyceum block. He olaims that his com pany is simply the agent of the Metro politan Exchange, having telegraphic rnmniuninuHnn noifh Min Rnttnii linnco of that concern and facilities for posting quotations for the benefit of customers at tbe Lyceum block office. He receives a certain commission on all sales and the oompany gets an equal amount. His commission on Nolan’s purchases of corn came to $10, but he lost $25 in tbe deal, being obliged to make the com pany good for Nolan’s refusal to keep up with the game. It was understood at the beginning, (as Is the oase witn all customers) that tbe Investments were bonn fide, and that Nolan might have either stock or warehouse receipts for the goods themselves at his own option and convenience. The defence olalmed as a matter of fact that Nolan talked at one time of paying the difference and taking warebonse receipts for the oorn itself. Mr.Nolan denies this Hnd says be never heard anything about actual oorn. He didn’t hear or see of any and be indicated that he had his doubts about there being any Judge Savage was counsel for Mr, Nolan and Mr. Croakett and Mr. Noble for Mr. Clark, and tbe oase was fought tooth and nail.

Much Buffering Caused by Fire.

London, September 22.— The Globe In sists that thejvisit of the Ozar and Czarina to Balmoral will be wholly of a private nature and devoted to quiet enjoyment. The paper condemns any attempts to In duce the Czar to intercede in behalf oi the Armenians, and says that any wel coming addresses will be tasteless if thej aye flavotti with tj&jmaaq ** be cauterized with a redhot wire, a poker or some such thing. But if a doctor can be had you need only continue to bathe the spot until he arrives.—Washington Times. What Animals Shy At. Young horses can be led up to a sack ly ing on the ground and induced to pass it by letting them smell it and find out that it really is a sack and not the Protean thing, whatever it may bo, which illusion conjures up for them. Once the writer saw n very quick and pretty instance of experiment by touch made by a frightened pony. It was being driven as leader in a pony tandem and stopped short in front of where the rails of a steam tramway crossed the road. It first smelled the near rail and then quickly gave it two taps with its hoof. After this it was satisfied and crossed the line. On the other hand, a donkey al ways tried to jump the shadows of tree trunks on the road, though a similar ex periment of touch would have shown that these were ss unreal as the tram rail was substantial. Lastly, no horse which has once knocked its head against the top of a stable doorway seems quite able to get rid of the illusion that there sits up in the top of all doorways an invisible something which will hit him again next time he goes through; hence the troublesome and sometimes incurable habit of horses “jib bing” when taken out of the stable.—Lon don Spectator. An Amatenr. The Buffalo News reports the sharp say ing of a woman who may not be an art critio, but who has some gift of expression. “Your husband painted the house him self, didn’t he?” asked one of her neigh bors. “Well, yes,” was the wife’s answer. “I suppose he got some of the paint on the house, but you wouldn’t think so if you could see his clothes.” Ladies’ bangs are good indicators of a coming storm. When they “go out of curl,” the Indication is for rain. When they are dry and crisp, fair weather will ensue. When the hair is naturally ourly, however, it becomes more so on the ap proach of rain. The first weather record kept in Amer ica was that by Rev. John Campanius, at Wilmington, Del., in 1644. Take the Maiwe State for 8 weekly MISCELLANEOUS. PROBATE NOTICES.

A HANDSOME BEQUEST. Mr. George P. Barrett Leaves the Maine General Hospital 810,000. The will of the late George P. Barrett, which has been presented for probate, makes the handsome bequest of ten thousand dollars to the Maine General hospital. Mr. Barretet, it will be re membered, was the son of Mr. Charles Barrett, so many years director of tne Atlantic St. Lawrence railroad. Mr. George Barrett was a member of the banking Arm of Swan Barrett, and was deeply interested in the Maine Gen ral Hospital, of which he was an assis tant corporator, and his brother Frank lin R. Barrett secretary and treasurer. AH the remainder of the estate i s willed to relatives and the heirs -at -law. Mr. Barrett’s brother, Mr. F. R. Bar rett, Is named as executor. This be quest of Mr. Barrett’s to the hospital will be most welcome. The needs and demands of an institution of this kind, to keep it abreast of the times, with the growth in population and the advances made in mediolne and surgery, are very great, aud if all who can should remember the hospital they would have the oonsoiousness of helping on a most deserving work. SEWALL OUT OF IT Resigns the Presidency of the Merchant Marine Association. President of the American Herohant Marine Association, his resignation be ing now in the hands of the Secretary of that organization. His letter speaks for itself: Bath, Sept. 19, 1896. A. B. Smith, Seoretary, New York City. Dear Sir: Knolosed find my resigna tion as President and member of the American Merchant Marine Association, to take efloat on receipt. The origin of this association and its purpose wae to advocate, and by all proper methods pro mote, the restoration of the merchant marine of thla country. It was distinctly understood that the organization was to be free from politics and entirely non partisan in its character. I have always regarded it ns a national question, and believed that both the great parties, after firoper investigation, would be equally n Ceres ted to effect the legislation that would tend to restore to our nation its supremacy upon the ooean. Your recent methods, introducing poli tics and partisanship in the workings of yonr office, do nut meet my approval, and 1 aannot longer be associated with an organization conducted by snob meth ods. 1 enolose a dipping from onr local paper, wbloh illustrates the objection able methods of your management whioh you have recently Introduced without conferring with mn. I especially refer to the closing remarks in your letter, whion I assume, knowing that you know youT duties and powers ns seoretary of this organization, that you did not put out without authority, either formal or informal, from yonr executive oommit tee. Yours truly, ARTHUR SEWALL. THE FIEND AGUILERA Almost Incredible Stories of Bloodthirst iness of Spanish Colonel. New York, September 19, via Hey WeBt, Fla., September 23.—Well authen ticated stories of barbarons acts by the Spanish troops continue to reach here. Ou September 16, ten rebels went to attack a guerilla band that had started from YegaB to the field. They notloed a strong body of soldiers oomlng towaid them. The rebels let the soldiers come close, and then fired a volley, killing two officers and wounding three soldiers. The troops fired back a volley in the grass, bitting; nobody. Lieut. Col. Aguilera, wbo commanded the troops went, after this action, toward a colony __-i m.li. _ ml__ v.„ family composed of 25 persons, men, women and children. He asked if they had seen any rebels In the neighborhood. On receiving a negative answer, he or dered a general slaughter of everybody, including children from one to ten year of age. A young man begged to be killed instead of his mother, who was in tho eighth month of pregnanoy, but he was killed with a machete and bayonet in the presence of the mother. Then they transpieced the abdomen of the mother with a bayonet, after which they disem boweled her with a maobete. The little children were fleet pierced with the end of the bayonet, then finished with the maobete Of the 25 human beings present in that colony, 19 were butchered and six made their esoape, hiding themselves in the cane. On September 18, Col. Aguilera staited with troops and tne.guerilla from Neuva Paz towards the 'sugar estate Cuervo. Near a place called Cuzco be saw a house, weut to it, and found only three child ren In it. He asked where the parents were; they answered thatrthey had gone after some fusel to prepare Uieir breakfast and would soon return.VTie colonel or ered the three children, 10 to 11 years old, to bo looked np in the bouse, and ordered tbs guerifias to seb fire to the house. The guerillas, horrified, dis obeyed at first, but undei the threats of Aguilera, they acted, aud the house was burned with the children in it. On their return to Neuvas, the gueril las, horrified, told'the people what had been done. The information is from a Spanish source. After the house was burned, Aguilera weDt on and met a man 70 years of age, carrying vegetables and acoompanled by two negroes. He was asked where be was going; he answered he was taking vegetables home to Nenvo Paz. The col onel ordered him to be killed with the maobete, and the negroes also. The body of.the oil man was thrown into a well near by, where it was found two days afterward, traced by his hat, that was found in the well. The bodies of the two negroes were chopped to pieces and thrown into a cave, wnere they were found. All this was related by a ser geant and some of the soldiers.

Wylie and Sanford are admirable in their aketohes, while Edward Emerson is one of the best char acter Impersonators on the boards. Mr. H. F. Wait is not only a violinist of great taste and skill, but he is a capital entertainer as well. Manuel Homan is one of tbe most delightful tenor singers that has ever been heard in this vicinity, and Mr. E. G. Triokey as pianist and accompanist, is very pleasing. The squirrels are just as lively as orlok ets, and their oage is oontinually sur rounded by the children. The CasiDo is exceedingly attractive, and never were the balconies more wor thy of patronage, for here one ean sit nnd look over the leafy panorama spread before him with the foliage changing in the early frosts of September, and up the mirror like winding Prasumpscot. A sail np tbe river in tbe steamer, or one ot tbe launches is a rare treat. The Portland newspaper men will be entertained at Riverton park by tbe Port land Railroad company this atternoon. The trip to the park will be made in the Pullman car Bramhall at 2.30 o’clock from the head of Preble street. Case of Policeman Norton. The case of Polioeman John F. A. Norton, whose testimony caused the in dictment of liana H. Miles, has been placed on tbe special docket. This in effect is an indefinite postponement of sentenoe. The Mad Monarch Threatens.

National Election, Tuesday, Nov. 3. REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS. FOR PRESIDENT, William ncKinley OF OHIO. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, Garret A. Hobart OF NEW JERSEY. i Mr. Bryan thinks he ie doing abont all tbat ie being done for free silver coinage, and In this he Is about right. But whether what he is doing helps* ox hurts Is a question. Mr. John DeWitt Warner says of John Boyd Thacher, tbe nominee of the Buffalo convention, tbat “he Is the only man ia the state who coaid acoept the nomination without some loss of person al dignity. Chairman Washbnrn who is in charge of the Western headquarters of the Popu list party has gone to try to prevail upon Watson to withdraw. He fig pre pared to make some liberal offers to the bellicose Alabamlao. Bat nobody believes Tom can be eeduoed. Bourke Cochran took Omaha by storm. Some of the Bryanites had gone to the meeting bent on creating a disturbance but Coohran’s elnquenoe discomfited them, and before the meeting was through many of them were eonverts to sound money. The American Merohant Marina Asso ciation of which the Hon. Arthur Bewail is President, has sent out a circular urg ing everybody to vote for MoKlnley and Hobart on aocount of the plank In the Republican platform in favor of protect ing American shipping. Tom Watson will nut forget to make a note of this. Tbe prospect now is that John Boyd Tbacber will be poshed out of tbe nomi nation for tbs governorship of Hew York ou account ol ms declaration against the financial plank of the Chicago conven tion and the candidate for Lieutenant Governor substituted. Bryan wants him dropped and the notifying committee ol tba convention which nominated him wants him dropped too. We are bound to say that the oommittee in this case takes a much more correct view of the fitness y' of things than Mr. Tbaoher. But sup pose the same test were applied to Bryan as regards his nomination by the Popu ;j lists as has been applied to Tbaoher, would Bryan remain the.oandidate of the Populists or would he have to get out? John Boyd Tbaoher who says be pro poses to vote for Mr. Bryan, and who also says that he.has not changed his views on the financial question made this publio declaration only three months ago: A false view of. finance Is worse than false views on auoh a question as the tariff. It affects the national credit and touohes with course hand the national honor. It is the duty of the Democracy In the present crisis to speak citarly on the financial question. The party of Jefferson and Jackson, of Benton and Tilden, has always favored the best money in use—the'money adopted as tba standard by the most enlightened nations of the earth. Neither consideration of expediency nor the selfish interost of those who own silver bullion should lead us to depart from the safe and seoure path. Mr. Thaoher easily beats George Fred Williams, for the latter does claim to have changed his mUid. In his speeoh at Bichmund Mr. Bryan gave warning that "the man who in the face of such an enemy either goes to tbs rear or is found in secret conference with the enemy is a t?r,ltor upon whom the brand shall be placed, and be shail not •onw bask ggftiav” Q* c»uta« the mapls whom he was talking at were the bolting gold Demoorats. The. latter might well ask who is this man who undertakes to say who shall oome in and who shall stay out of th6 Demooratlc party. Only Inst April he formally dooiared that he was not a Democrat, and within a year ho has deolared that if the Democratic con vention adopted a gold platform and nominated a gold candidate lie would not vote for the candidate or support the ticket. He was resdy to bolt if the plat form did not suit bim, hut the men who bolted because the platform did not suit them are “traitors” who "shall not come baok again.” However, Mr. Bry an's threat is not very impressive. The free silve” wing of the Demooratio party is getting so small that nobody will ever want to oome back to it. After Novem ber tbe people who will want to come back are the supporters of Bryan,and the sound money Democrats will have con trol of the opening and shutting of the door. MR. BRYAN’S VISIT. Maine has made it very evident that she does not want Mr. Bryan for Presi dent of the United States and that she has no faith in his remedy for hard times Mr. Bryan’s visit to this state therefore will be made under ciroumstanoes which bale not existed in any other state that he has visited since he started out on his oampaign. In no other state where he has been had the voters aotually repudi ated bim, and in all of them there has been a ohanoe to say that the crowd that Soaked to see him were sympathisers with his doctrines. Nobody oould ac tually disprove such an assertion. But unless the people who greet him in Maine are very few, in number he will be aware that he is addressing a crowd that is largely out of sympathy with him, and whose hostility to his doctrines is so fixed that it will be useless to attempt to remove it. That being the case it would seem wise for Mr. Bryan to escbew politlos in ad dressing the people of Maine, drop free silver altogether and discuss some theme concerning which his andienoes are like ly to be more in sympathy with him. Our people generally sympathize with the Armenians in their struggle with the Turks, and a stirring appeal in their be half.would undoubtedly receive universal approval. The British expedition In the Soudan about whioh the general public know.very little might also be illumined by Mr. Bryan withont any dissent from bis audienoe. There are many other themes whioh he can discuss with full assurance that bis .hearers would take exception to what he might say. Bat It will not do for him to undertake to oram SO cant dollars down their throats. If lie tries that he is likely to get a very dismal reaeptloD. CURRENT COMMENT. MAINE AH A CRITERION. (Boston Herald.) The Demooratio Populist statistician may as well let Maine alone. It is not an entirely reliable barometer as regards the politloal trend of the oountry, as we have shown Dut when they quote its figures in previons eleotions, and com pare them with those now, they prove their own defeat, if snob figures are re liable. The nearly 50,000 majority in Maine this year i* altogetherinnprecedent ed. The vote of Maine in 1876, 1884, and 1892 was not conclusively indicative that the Republicans were going to carry the oountry but if there had been added to the Republican majorities in those years the amount whioh has swelled the pres ent majority np to the propor tions it has attained, and the other states had fol lowed salt only to {the extent they did then in Republican increase, there would have been no possible chance for Demo cratic Presidents in those eleotions. The safe course for the Bryan people is to leave Maine out of the account altogeth er. WHAT A CONNECTICUT DEMOCRAT WANTS. (Interview with Tom Waller.) Republican interests and objects would be accomplished it the state went for Mc Kinley by 1600, or even by 600. It would oount just as much for them no matter how small the majority mlg)it be. We gold Democrats want more than that. The state went Republican at the last election by about 7000 votes. If it should go for MoKinley this year by not more than 16,000 the silverites would claim it as a moral viotory. When it came to a reorganization of our dear old party they would say: “Here, you fellows don’t amount to anything in this state. Tbo are onlr about 8000 nf vnn Vickers act it you want to reorganizo you must sur render your arms and come baok to us. We^are the party and you must do as we say, if or we almost carried the state with out you, aud in a short time we could get along without you at all." But If Bryanlsm U buried under a majority of 30,000 to 40,000 votes—it should bn at least 35,000—the sound money Democrats would bo in rather a respectable condi tion afterward. Iben we could go to work to reorganize, and we would do It In a way that would put tbe tall back where it belongs. This craze oannot last. It must die soon, and tbe sooner It passes away tbe better it will be for the oountry and for the Demooratio party. They are persistent oussee, though, and we must be careful not to put too little covering on their grave. We must bury them so deep that they oau’t sorntch tbelr wav out, and the best way to do It. is to smother them under a heap of MoKlnle.v votes. A Double Standard. To the Editor of the Press: Why is any standard needful? For the same reason that money is. It would be possible to dispense with both. But to do that would be to relegate the people to the days of barbarism when all ex changes were made by barter, so much wheat for so much labor, or so much oorn for so much cloth, or sugar. Hence public oonvonienco requires of govern ment the device of a common standard by which prioes of different product shall be measured. But this naturally points to a single standard as simplest and best. It is possible for government to prescribe by law a double standard, as has been demonstrated at home and abroad. But what is the use of it, why have two when one answers eve-v pn pose? It would be possible for govern ment to presciibe a double itunJar.i o measurement of wheat or oloth. But were that to be done it would work in oonvenienoe to domestic trade and great hindrance to commerce. So also it would be possible to have a triple rnoi-.e .standard geld, silver and cqpfOTi Hut nobody ever contemplated that, not even those owning oopper mines or dealers in copper stooks. Now in fixing a double money standard the difficulties in the way are greatlyfen hanoed from inability to so adjust the ratio between gold and sliver, that is s o many ounoes of silver in a dollar to one of gold, that, for a permanent polioy, it is impossible to preserve the parity be tween gold and silver. If both were of tho same value, and the production thereof equal, that difficulty would be removed. But at no period has this been the fact, aud heuoe the government from time to time has been obliged to alter the ratio between gold and silver in coin ing the dollar. This adjustment is a very difficult thing to aocompllsh, and requires the highest skill of experts, and an amount of knowledge relating to metal prices and products both at home and abroad,! which, with all respect duo to congressmen and presidents, our rulers do not possess. Consequently, for a party to Insert In its platform a prob lem of soience and expert eoonomlos, and make that the issue to be solved at the ballot box is of Itself enough for con demning it, ana any party or presiden tial candidate who plants itself squarely upon tho Illimitable free coinage of silver at 10 to 1, should he voted down. There is another difficulty attending this matter of a double standard, not to be overlooked. It involves the principle of flat money, which should be banished from onr monetary policy. As now sit uated, In virtue of the guarantee of the government that a silver dollar worth fifty three cents shall he the equivalent of a gold dollar worth one hundred cents the world over, involves a falsehood, be cause It virtually declares that one hal f or nearly so, is equal to the whole. To perpetuate any such Idea would be tho height of fully,and a national disgrace as well. It was never intended that hat money should be incorporated into our system. It was foroed upon us In the day of our fathers, in tho form of con tinental paper promise* to pay soldiers of the Revolution for want of coin which _— _-I_J _3_..... bo; knows, it so depreciated tbat their purchasing power was next to nothing. The same operation was repeated, on tbe plea of necessity, in tbe trying emergen cy for paying oil our soldiers of our late Civil,war. and the greenbacks then is sued so depreciated, that at one time a gold dollar commanded a premium of 810. Fiat money let it be repeated shonld be eliminated from our monetary system as soon as (possible, and from Amerioan ideas of statesmanship, for it is based on a wrong principle. Nations no more than individuals can transgress without suffering tbe penalty of violated law, a lesson hard to be learned but as essential as It Is hard. GEO. F. EMERY. a QUEER DUELS. A Fight With Umbrellas—A Bicycle Duel. Dueling is indeed not without its comic incidents. Only a few days ago a sensible young Irishman, who was visit ing Spain, was for some imaginary in sult challenged by a noble hidalgo. The matter was referred to seoonds, tbat of the Irisbman being a fun-loving attaohe of the British Embassy at Madrid. As the challenged party the son of Eria had the choice of weapons, and turned up on the ground with a pair of shillelehs, whioh he swore were the national weap ons of his country, the only one he was used to. Needless to say that dnel never came off. Not eo long ago a fatal dnel with umbrellas was reoorded. A certain M. Tltard, a Parisian journalist, had found a lady frlond of bit at a tav ern In oompany with one of hie rivals. Warm words ensued, and the trio ad journed to tbe lady's apartments where tbe two men fought with umbrellas. From the nature of hie lujuriea it ap peared that, after one of his eyes were forced out of tbe sooket Tltard’s rival stamped upon bis faoe and forehead with heavy boots, breaking the frontal bone and destroying the sight of the other eye. The unfortunate journalist ultimately died from inflammation of th brain. Several onrlons duels have been fought In the dark. One such took place at Oasala, the oomabtants being an actor named Rossi, and a gentleman whom Rossi had offended during the oouree of a performance at the tb eatre. It was arranged tbat the duel should take plaoe at Rossi’s hotel, without tbe nsnal for mality ,of seoonds; but the landlord raised objeotious and demanded tbat the stranger should leave the house. At last It was agreed that tbe lights should e extinguished, so as to obeat "mine1 host” Into tb* belief that Rossi was left alone. “It will be easy for ns to aim by tbe Sparks of our cigarettes.” sail tbe aotor. bo the lights were put out, and a few moments later two loud reports rang through the bouse. The lan alord rushed into the room to find bis worst fear confirmed. Rossi had escaped in jury, but his antagonist lay with a shattered shoulder blade. Dueling on bicycles Is reported to be a new diversion in Spain. Two members of tbe blcyole olut of Granada recently met in a knife duel, which Is probably tbe first euoouner of tbe kind ever fought upon wheels. Acoompaned by th eir seconds, they wheeled out some dlstanoe on the road to Malaga to a secluded spot. There, posted 700 feet apart, at a sign they] wheeled toward eaob other, each directing his maonine with the left hand and brandishing in the right that terrible knife of a Spain, the navaja. At the first dash Perez pierced the left arm of Moreno, but at tbe third encount er Moreno thrust the kllfe Into Perez’s right breast. In a few mlnutea the lat ter died of internal hemorrhage.

COMMITTEE MEETINGS. Consideration of the Heating of the Audi torium Emerson St. Schoolhonse—Con* erence of Deering and Portland Co mmit tees. The committee on public buildings met yesterday noon and decided to put two boilers into the new auditorium,con nected with the nrmory, and to advertise for proposals lor the piping and heating. The oomnjittee requested Architect F. A. Tompson to bring in his plans for the new school building oa the hill, with arrangements looking to the heating and ventilation for the examination and con sideration of tho committee. The committee on drains and sewers of the Deering oity government met the commissioner of public works and pub lic works oommlttee to arrange of pos sible lor the emptying of the sewerage of the territory contiguous to the Portland street sewer, into that sewer. Commis sioner Fernald said that there would be very little increase to the amount ot sewerage uow passing through that sewer by granting the desired permission, but that eventually this sewer will have to be replaoed by one of much larger capacity capable of carrying oil tho sur face drainage. The Deering committee’s request will probably be granted provid ed the terms can be arranged satisfactory to all parties. Expected to Arrive at Portland on Novem ber 18. It is expeoted that the first English steamer, probably one of the Allan line, will arrive here on November 18, and the other will come in a rapid succes sion. The Grand Trunk expects to operate its big grain elevator when oompleted all of the year round,and Portland will then be visited by many of the fine tramp steamers whicb now are engaged in tbe grain carrying trade between this coun try ana Europe. MUSIC AND DRAMA. The Fatal Card. A notable dramatic event of unusual interest will take place at the Portland theatre next Friday evening, when the famous melodrama “The Fatal Card’’ will be presented. This drama is claimed to be one of tbe strongest of its type ever presented m this country, and it is only just to say that all tbe elaborate praise that has been bestowed upon it tbe past two years Id all the principal cities has been well earned. It is one of those plays in whicb tbe author is lost sight of, and the listener is at once iabued with the Interest and concern that attaches to the unfolding ot the mysteries of a plot deep and subtle, and seemingly incapa ble’of a natural, just and happy solution. Wnile the tone is melodramatic through out,yet it is polished and dovold of tragic rant. The feelings are excited but not jarred by harshuess and at ouoe become absorbed Id tbe progress and portrayal of tbe plot. |“Tbe Fatal Curd’’ is a play of startling situations and realistla effects. It will be presented here by a company wuicb is excellent in every de tail, staged and scened in a manner which is said to |bu a marvel of stage oraft. Tbe Bostonians. A large number of additional subscrip tions was added to the list of subscribers to tbe Bostonians tbat can be found at Stockbridge’s store.

Washington, September 28.—The week ly crop report of the weather bureau of states: As most crops had been se nvrAil frrvjtin n»nr f.h« nnrth«rn state* during the latter part of the week oansed but little damage. In Iowa tbe effects of a heavy frost following tbe protracted cool and a moist weather proved unfavorable to late corn, which sustained some injury in Ohio, Ken tucky and Montana. Ripened corn In Iowa is unfavorably affected bylexcessive moisture. The heavy rains over southern, cen tral and western Texas during the latter part of the week lowered the grade of cotton, but tbe benoflt to the top crop will more then counterbalance tbe injury sustained. In Mississippi cotton is turning out better than expected In some seotlons and is making a new growth, which, however, is too late, to be ma tured this season. Over the oentrnl and eastern portions of the cotton belt, tbe week bee been dry and tbe work of picking has made rapid progress under favorable condit ions. Except in tbe Southern States, where tbe drought continues, the general con dition of the soil for plowing and seed ing of winter grain is excellent. This work which in some states bad been de layed, lias been pushed rapidly, is now well advanced in Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. Early sown grain is com ing up and is looking well. A telegraphic report says: New Eng land, rains, and much corn cut and oaring rwell late potatoes rotting; pas tures good; fine grass bottom for next year’s bay oorp. —•y^

END OF DURANT HOUSE EPISODE Editor of the Express Pays Fine for Libel. tong Train of Circumstance* Connected With a Deputy Sheriff’s Raid—The Au thorship of the Libellous Article. Iu the Superior Court yesterday fore noon George W. Norton, editor of the Portland Evening Express, came up for sentence on account of the libel ou Depu ty Sheriff Charles A. Plummer, which that paper published iu the summer of 1894. This is the final conclusion of the well known Durant House oase. When Sheriff Cram oauie into office he gave to the representatives of the pro hibitionist elements the recommending of one of his speoial liquor deputies. General Neal Dow and Rev. S. F. Pear son recommended Charles A. Plummer, and he was appointed, General Dow be coming one of his bondsmsn. Io the summer of 1894, Plummer raid ed the Duraut House twice, securing in the first oase a conviction in the munici pal court, for whioh the usual fine was paid for selling rum. No publicity was given this oase. In the second case there was a hearing in the Municipal Court, and much un pleasant publicity. CdIdTIpI Pyftd M rintw nf fhla owner of the Durant House was also pres ident and principal stockholder in the Evening Express; and that paper brought against Plummer the charge that he had hired a “spotter” to testify falsely in order to get a oonvlotion. The article was as follows: “Against what moo is Deputy Sheriff Charles A. Plummer now plotting by the employment of n needy man, who shall not as ‘spotter,’ that someone who has incurred the liquor deputy’s dis pleasure may he punished. Who will be the next young man to lay himself liable to State prison for a term of years by taking a false, oath by direction of the guardian of our laws. Will there be another ‘spite’ cnse tried out with a tool who is anxious to earn (2 and a drink? How many of the prosecutions that have been made in oonyt, and which are urged as evidence of the faithful dis charge of duty, have been prompted by a desire for revenge? BumssUers who have not accepted the invitation to ‘oome down to the office and do business,’ per haps can have some idea, but the publio will not know until that Investigating committee comes down here from the State legislature. Then development* will be made publio thick and fast.” The investigating oommittee never oame, little being heard of It after the Republican convention had finally settled who was to be the next Republi can candidate for sheriff In this county. But the grand jury, wniob sat soon af ter, did take action. The responal bllity for the art]ale was placed upon the shoulders of Editor Horton, and the grand jury found an in diotment against him. The manner in whlob the libellous ar ticle was writeen Is to be inferred from testimony which was afterwards given daring the civil suit whioh Plummer brought against the Express, and in whioh the jury disagreed. It seems fiom the testimony that the article which Horton has been punished for writing,' was the result of an In tervlew between CoL Dow and Mr Horton. The substanoe of Col. Dow’i testimony on oross examination was a, follows: Q. You were aware of the fact thai what you were telling the editor of yoni paper was to be made a matter of publi cation in its columns? A. I was not. Q. Do yon say to this jury that wbat you stated to Horton wasn't to he made a matter of publication? A. I wasn’t aware that it was to be made a matter for publication. Q. Why did you state these conversa tions to Horton? A. I stated them as a matter of gen eral news, a matter in whioh I was in la*nata/I on/l fko nnkUn norinvellp Q. Wby was h,e interested in that? A. Boeauso be was the editor of a public journal. Q. Had you uny doubt that what you said to him was to be pub ished in some form in the paper? A. No, I had no means of knowing. Q. Do you say to the jury that you didn’t expect bim to make the substance of the conversation that you bad had in regard to the Durant House trial the subjeot of an article? A. I didn’t expeot him to make them the subject of an article Q. Didn’t you think that-he would make them? A. I did not. Editor Norton’s counsel filed a de murrer, instead of standing trial on the charge ot libel, and the case went to the law oourt for a deoision as to whether the article in question was libellous. A few weeks ago the law oourt handed down its decision, oveirul ing the de murrer. Nothing remained then but to sentence Mr. Norton. He appeared in uourt yes terday morning with Mr. Ardnn W. Coombs, his counsel, and when County Attorney True moved for sentence. Judge Bonney imposed a sentenoe of $5 and costs. Mr. Norton was then dis charged, the fine having been paid, and left the court room in company with his counsel. Windfall to a Chicago U Diversity.

The leader of an uptown orchestra was returning from an engagement, when he fell in with another man who had known him years before. “I think,” said the latter, “that the last time we met was in Waco, Tex. “So it was,” said the orchestra leader. “That was a long time ago, when the town of Waco was a typical frontier place. There were board houses and shanties ev erywhere. I was leading an orchestra In one of the board shanties there. It was a wild eyed crowd, and the show was the kind that they liked. I had stoiok the town in a frost, and the management hired me to lead the band, as he called It I found that the members of the orchestra knew the ‘Arkansas Traveler,’ ‘Old Dog Tray,’ ‘Pop Goes the Weasel,’ ‘Dixie’ and other familiar music in the southwest They hadn ’t a score of any kind before them. I remember during a brief Inter mission you came to the place where I was and asked me if I oould play Schubert's ‘Serenade. You don’t know how It thrill ed me to know there was one man in that crowd who knew what music was. Only an artist can appreciate that. I took up my bow and played that exquisite compo sition as I never played It before. It had beauties I had never discovered before. And the members of the band laid down their fiddles and listened. And the paint ed beauties on the stage peeped out at me from the curtain, and the beer venders quit business in the aisles, and the* ugly looking audience sat still till I had finish ed. Then they got up and left the theater, and the show was out It was the first time they ever beard any musio. That wag the greatest triumph I ever had. “Know you? Well, I can never forget you. ”■—New York Sun.

Kaffir Dentistry. The methods of extracting teeth among the Kaffirs are barbarous in the extreme and remind one of the tortures of the dark ages. Tbo patient is placed on the ground, and four men are employed to hold him down, two telling his arms and two his7legs. Then the operator kneels down beside him, and, taking a pieoe of sharpened Ivory, steel or wood, he calmly proceeds to hack away at the gum until the offending tooth is loose. He then extracts It with finger and thumb, the patient having suffered natu rally unspeakable agonies. The time occupied in the operation is often of long duration, sometimes extend ing over as much as 80 minutes, but of course this varies according to the strength of the tooth. Persons in this country who make a practice of taking an anaesthetic when having a tooth extracted would probably find the operation as performed by the Kaffir dentist a little troublesome, to say the least af it. Of course the Kaffirs dwelling in or near the towns go to the ordinary dentist, but those living far away from civilization have no alternative but to resort to the methods described above. Pearson’s Weekly, _ Art Methods. A former president of fcho Royal acad emy, Sir Francis Grant, had the knack of giving a certain air of distinction to the subject^,of his portraiture, although his works were often “very much to seek” in the higher qualities of art. For “Masters of Hounds” and puisne Judges he was quite competent, or for the squire's lady in a red petticoat, but he was not so happy in the expression of Intellectual subtleties. Thus writes ford Selborne, in his rocent “Memoirs,” of his portrait by Sir Francis: “I have r''.-ays myself valued the picture for the f those who gave it, but as a likeness i work of art it was not ap proved Ly s d judges. This was not won derful if it was executed upon the principle explained to me by Sir Francis during one of my sittings. '1 suppose,’ he said, ‘a man to thiDk himself an Apollo, a woman to think herself a Venu#, and a mother to think her children Cupids. So I begin with t!;at idea, and then work from the head of my sitter until I have obtained a sufficient likeness.’” ONE HONEST MAN. bti\r Editor: Please Inform your readers that If v -.ton 10 confidentially, I will mall in a sealed letter. nlan pursued by which I was permanently restored 1 lie all h and manly rigor, after years of stiff dring from rvoua Weakness, night losses and weak, shrunken j-iLS. i have no scheme to extort money from anyone.

Great Rejoicing at the Birth of Son. Pleasant Superstition. Hyogo this morning lies in a limpid magniiioenoa of light, indescribable— spring light) which la vapory and lends a sort of appariMonal charm to far things seen through It. Forms remain sharply outlined, but are almost Idealized by faint colors not belonging to them, and the great hills behind the town aspire into a cloudless splendor of tint that seems the ghost of azure rather than azure itself. Over the blue gray slope of tiled roofs there is a vast quivering and fluttering of extraordinary shapes—a spectacle not In deed new to me, bat always delioioiis. Ev erywhere are floating—tied to very tall bamboo poles—immense brightly colored paper fish, which look and move as If alive. The greatest number vary from 6 to 15 feet In length, but here and there I see a baby scarcely a foot long, hooked in the tail of a huge one. Some poles have four or five flsh attached to them at heights proportioned to the dimensions of the fish. The largest Ik always at the top. So cun ningly shaped and colored these flsh are that the first sight of them is always star tling to a stranger. The lines holding them are fastened within the head, and the wind, entering the open mouth, not only inflates the body to perfect form, but keeps it undulating rising and descending, turning and twisting, precisely like a real fish, while the tail plays and the fins wave irreproachably. In the garden of my next door neighbor there are two very fine spec imens. One has an orange belly mid a bluish gray back, the other is all a silvery tint, and both have big, weird eyes. The rustling of their motion as they swim against the sky is like the sound of wind in a canefield. A little farther off I see an other very big fish, with a little red boy clinging to Ms bock. That red boy repre sents Ktotoki, strongest of all children ever born in Japan, who, while still a ba by, wrestled with the bears and set traps for goblin birds. Everybody knows that these paper carp, or koi, are hoisted only during the period of the great birth festival of boys, in the fifth month; that their presence above a house signifies the birth of a son, and that they symbolize the hope of the parents that their lad will be able to win his way through the world against all obstacles, even as the real koi, the great Japanese carp, ascends swift rivers against the stream.—Lafcadlo Hearn.

Owners of ths Augusta House Want to Turn Him Out, An interesting case affecting the Au gusta house property and lease has just come before the courts in Augusta. Judge Whltehouse, ou Saturday last, Issued an injunction against Vickery Hill of that oity, restraining them from the prosecution of an aotion of forcible entry and detainer wbloh they had be gun in the municipal court against A. W. Thayer, to oust him from the pos session of the Augusta House, Messrs. Vickery Hill claiming that the lease had been forfeited. It appears that in 1890 Mr. Thayer leased the house from Mr. Charles Milli ken and the Alden heirs, they being the joint owners, for ten years. Ths rent was payable in monthly installments on the tenth day of each month. The version of Mr. Thayer’s side of the oase is as follows: When the August payment became due Mr. Tbnyer was detained away from home by illness in his family, and did not return until September 12th, two days aftsr the rent was due. Immediately on his return be seut Viokery Hill oheok for the rent due two days before, but the payment was refused, and Mr. Thayer then learned that on the eleventh of Septem ber Vickery Hill bad begun an aotion in the municipal court, olaimiug a for feiture of the lease by reason of non-pay ment of the rent on the preoise day on which it was dna, and seeking to put Mr. Thayer out of possession. Mr. Thayer’s contention was that as the pro prietors had repeatedly accepted rent several days after the tenth day of the mouth, they had walvod that provision in their lease. A bearing on the bill in equity, on which the injunction was issued, win oe naa neiore juage vvnioe house Oatober 87th. Baker, Baker Staples are counsel for Mr. Thayer and Heath Andrews for Vickery Hill. Vickery H1U claim that payment was demanded Sent. 10 and refused; that the suit was brought Sept. 11, as the statute requires it to be brought seven days from rent day; that the claim of illness was not set up until the injunc tion was asked for; that the obeck was sent after the suit was brought; that Thayer was told In June that he must nay promptly; that there waa no hearing before Judge Whltebonse, an injunction being granted upon giving a bond of 11000. Mr. Heath Bays: “Mr. Viokery bad abundant business reasons, which I de cline to give to the public, for seeking possession. Jesse L. Test, Esq., an old resident and highly respected citizen of our town, called this morning and after purchasing a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrheoa Remedy, said: “If any one asks you if this remedy will do what is claimed for it, tell them yes, and refer them to me.” H.

There are 80 men and 40 teams at work in each crew and the work is kept up SC hours a day. One orew commences work at 7 o’olook in the morning and woiks until 0 at night and the other crew works by electrlo light from 7 o’clook in the even ing until 6 in the morning. With these crews it does not take long to dig a big bole in the ground and it is wonderful to see how rapidly the size of the exoavatlon lnoreases. About 14‘ feet below the sir faoe water was struck at high tide and work will only be continued in digging deeper when the tides permit. Sour or five large derricks, three pile drivers and eight portable engines will be at work on the exoavatlon before the week is*out and then things will go on with a rush. Neither rain, snow or storm can keep this work from being continued. A big orowd found plenty of amusement yester day even in the rain watohing the little army of workmen and, teams burrowing into the ground with great ease and rapidity. Yesterday afternoon the foundations of the old Grand Trunk frlegbt shed were dug up and hauled away. Tbe sbed was torn down and moved to its present site on Fore street about 25 years ago, DRUGGISTS ENJOY THEMSELVES. Trip of the Cumberland Pharmaceutical Association.
