Leavenworth, Kan., June 11.—An at tempt was made upon the life of Governor Andrew J. Smith of the National soldiers home, and his wife and daughter, be tween 4 and 5 a. ill. today, by some per son who is yet unknown. Djnamite was used in the outrage and the governor’s residence badly damaged. Mrs. Smith had a miraculous escape from death, the base of the explosion being directly be neath her chamber window. Besides be i ig cut and bruised by broken glass and Ilj'ing brie a brae and furniture she was completely prostrated by the frightful shock and is now in a precarious condit ion. Governor Smith and his daughter Miss Daisy, occupied rooms on the sec ond floor and were far enough remoypd from the explosion to escape the serious consequences suffered by Mrs. Smith. Joseph IV. Oliver, a dishonorably dis charged veteran, has been arrested by the police of this city. He said he was sorry the explosion had not killed the governor. Maine Pension!.

Jei2 dtt VOTE m SUGAR SCHEDULE First Test Taken in the Senate Yesterday. COMMITTEE AMENDMENT ADOPTED BY TOTE OF 32 TO 30. Affirmative Vote Wag Made Up ol 29 Re publicans, One Democrat, One Silver Republican and One Populist—Result Shows That Any Amendment Having Sanction of Caucus Can Pats. Washington, June 11.—The first test vote on the sugar schedule was taken in the Senate late today, resulting in the adoption of the Republican caucus amendment changing the House rate to 1.95 per pound by the close vote of yeas 32 nays 30. The affirmative vote was made up of 29 Republicans, 1 Democrat, Mc Enery of Louisiana, one Silver Republi can, Jones of Nevada and one Populist, Stewart of Nevada. The negative vote was made up of 35 Democrats, three Populists and two Sil ver Republicans. The was the closest thus far taken on an issue of importance and was accepted as showing that any amend ment having the sanction of the caucus was assured of adoption. Washington, June 11.—The continuance of the debate on the sugar schedule in the Senate served to swell the attendance con siderably today. Before the tariff bill was taken up, Mr. Harris, of Kansas, introduced a resolu tion reciting the status of affairs relating to the Union Pacific railroad, and ex pressing the sense of the Senate that the Secretary of the Treasury should take steps to pay off the liens prior to those of the government and then to operate the road, or if that was not deemed expedient, .1 .1 _ 4-1. courts. The resolution went over. The tariff bill was taken up at 12.15 and the consideration of the sugar sched ule resumed. The parliamentary status of the sugar discussion was as follows: The House paragraph 306, being under consideration, Mr. Allison had moved to substitute one cent and ninety-five one hundredths cent per pound for one cent and eight hundred and seventy-five one thousandths, as the rate on sugars above No. 16 Dutch standard. Mr. Jones of Arkansas, had indicated a further purpose but had not yet made the formal notice to make the differential rate 1-8 cent per pound. Mr. Jones began the discussion by placing in the record a statement of a sugar expert, showing the price of each grade of sugar, the rate of taxation on each under the Wilson act and under the proposed schedules. Mr. Turpie of Indiana, in behalf of the minority of the finance committee, gave notice of a new amendment to be offered as an additional paragraph to the internal revenue provisions placing a tax of 2 per cent on estates of descendants if the in heritance amounts to $50,000 or more, and is not for the benefit of a religious, charitable, educational or like institution. The tax is to be in force for five years from January 1, 1898. The question then reverted to the com mittee amendment but he had not offered it, and had now determined not to offer it at present. He preferred to have the vote taken on the committee proposition, and later, he said, he might propose his amendment. As the roll call was'about to begin, Mr. Caffery of Louisiana, took the floor and read a newspaper account of the growth and development of the sugar trust. The extracts read by Mr. Caffery were very long. It gave in detail the profits of the trust for years, its absorption of lesser sugar establishments and the in ternal business affairs of the organization. Mr. Caffery then took up the question as to the amount of raw sugar required to make a pound of refined sugar. It was a well known fact, he said, that all the secret processes of sugar refining were known only to the refiners. He questioned the calculations made by the treasury de partment and said their accuracy was challenged by competent chemists. Mr, Allison remarked that the govern ment figures were regarded as accurate as a whole. Mr. Caffery said one reliable expert stated that the government figures were taken from the trust officialsjwho had ex clusive control of the information and this expert Jasserted that the estimates were far too high as to the amount of raw sugar required to make a pound of refined sugar. The Senator read a corrected statement showing that on each grade of sugar the treasury figures were several pounds in excess of tho corrected figures. Mr. Caffery went on to say that a counter vailing duty of 38-100 on German granulated sugar was ample protection to the American refiners. The trust was constantly beseiging Congress for favors. “The sugar trust,” said he, “is the only gigantic trust in the world which rests entirely on legislation for its support. Mr. Platt, Republican of Connecticut, aroused Mr. Caffery to another indignant protest against the repeated intimations thrown out from the other side that he wanted protection for the "sugar pro ducers. “Your position,” said Mr. Platt, “is free trade for the refiner and protection for the producer.” “I have stated and I repeat it again,” replied Mr. Caffery, “that sugar is the ideal article for a Democratic revenue duty. If it were for protection I should not advocate it.” Continuing, he taunted tho Republi cans, after tneir experiment with sugar bounty under the McKinley law for going back to sugar for a real revenue producing duty. “And then,” said he, “they have the audacity to throw in our faces the in sidious doctrine of protection.” He had never, he said, owned a single share of that oompany and was only in a very small way a sugar planter. “How much sugar did you produce last year!” asked Mr. Platt. About 700,000 pounds, replied Mr. Caffery, “from a farm of 500 acres. I am the smallest planter in my parish, but I say to you that if all my fortunes were involved in a sugar duty I would not support it except for revenue. A public man who is confined within the narrow limits of a selfish interest is not fit to hold a seat in the United States Senate.” Upon the conclusion of Mr. Caffery’s remarks, Mr. White of California, took the floor. He arraigned the Republicans for their advocacy of this sugar schedule. Mr. Gorman of Maryland then spoke against the schedule and the entire bill, pointing out that its effect was to burden the people without opening to the United States to new foreign markets. Mr. Stewart of Nevada, asked Mr. Allison to state before the vote was taken whether this bill gave the refiners greater advantage than the present law. “I have no doubt, answered Mr. Alli son, “that excluding the counter-vailing duty this bill does not give a greater ad vantage to the sugar industry than the Wilson bill.” Mr. Allison proceeded to make a general statement. He said that thus far Senators had been discussing decimal figures and statistics without considering what lies at the basis of this and all schedules. Mr. Stewart said he did not expect this tariff bill to afford any material relief to the country, as there was a cancer of financial contraction which was eating at the vitals of the country. The Senator added that he was for the bill because he wanted the people to know it could not bring prosperity “any more than a bread and milk poultice could bring pros perity.” Mr. Caffery replied briefly to Mr. Alli son and then the vote was taken amid greatjexcitement, resulting, yeas, 3.2; nays, 30, as follows: Yeas—Allison, Burrows, Carter, Cul lom, Davis, Dubois, Elkins, Fairbanks, Foraker, Frye, Gallinger, Hanna. Hans brough, Hawley, Hoar. Jones of Nevada, McBride, McEnery, McMillan, Mason, Nelson, Perkins, Platt of Connecticut, Pritchard, Proctor, Sewell, Shoup, Spooner, Stewart, Wellington, W’etmore, Wilson—38. Nays—Bacon, Bate, Berry, Butler, Caffery, Chilton, Clay, Cockrell, Daniel, Faulkner, Gorman, Gray, Heitfeld, Jones of Arkansas, Kyle, Lindsay, Mal lory, Mantle, Mills, Mitchell, Morgan, Pasco, Pettigrew, Rich Pettus, Tillman, Turpie, Vest. Waltham, White—30. Mr. Jone6 of Arkansas, then moved an amendment striking out the words “on all sugars” in line 20, page 63. In this connection he again pointed out inequali ties of the schedules. The amount of protection under the pending amendment was greater, he said, than it was in the original amendment, being 52-100 now against 44 then. As it was now five o’clock Mr. Jones asked that the amend ment go over. This led Mr. Allison to ask if any agreement could be reached for 11 a. m. sessions beginning Monday. Mr. Jones answered that consent would be given to early sessions beginning next Thursday or Friday with an adjournment daily at 5 p. m. No final agreement was rparhpd. Mr. Hoar gave notice of a new section to follow paragraph 20ti providing for the appointment by the President to a com mission of five persons who shall investi gate and report at the next session of Congress on the most advantageous methods of producing and refining sugar and what method will give to consumers sugar at the least cost. At 5.10 p. m. the bill was laid aside and the Senate went into executive ses sion, adjourning soon after. Massachusetts Legislature Adjourns, Boston, June 11.—The Massachusetts legislature adjourned this evening. There was little or no business of importance done in the House. At 12.50 after the governor had been notified by a committee that the House was in readiness to be prorogued, His Excellency returned his congratulations to the general court and stated that the secretary of the Senate had been sent to prorogue it. There being no business the House was then formally prorogued. In the Senate a committee was sent to nhtify the governor that the Senate was ready to be prorogued. At 12.45, the secretary of state appeared, and after making the usual announcement the Sen ate was formally dissolved, the ceremony being greeted with three cheers. Brain's Sentence Postponed. Boston, June 11.—Thomas M. Bram, who is under sentence of death for the murder of Charles I. Nash, was brought into the United States court at 2 o’clock this afternoon, where Judge Colt an nounced that the sentence of death passed upon Bram was indefinitely postponed until the mandate of the United States supreme court is received and recorded.

ADJOURNMENT OP PEACE CONFER ENCE AGREED UPON. The Adjournment Has Creafed Bad Im pression In Diplomatic Circles—Turks Claim Russia’s Consent Has Been Ob tained to Retrocession of Thessaly. Constantinople, June 11.—A further ad journment of the peaco conference has been agreed to at the request of Tweflk Pasha, the Turkish minister for foreign affairs on the ground that the Sultan has not decided the question of the retention or evacuation of Thessaly by the Turkish troops. The other points brought forward as the basis for the arrangement of a permanent peace betweeD Turkey and Greece with the exception of the amount of the in demnity to be paid to the latter country, have been practically settled. The ad journment has creatd a bad impression in diplomatic circles and the Turkish gov ernment has issued a circnl ir to the pow ers with the view to obtain their support in the peace negotiations, but thus far Russia alone has replied, expressing the opinion that the question of the indemni ty and the capitulations appear less diffi cult to settle than the delimination of Thessaly. This reply is regarded in Turk ish circles as justifying the hope that Russia will support the retrocession of Thessaly but the opinion is not shared by the members of the foreign diplomatic corps, in this city. Attempt to Assassinate Delyannis. Athens, Juno 11.—The Hestia says the rumors of an attempt to assassinate M. Delyannis arose from the fact of his having saluted some acquaintances in the street who abused him vehemently for plunging Greece into disaster. The paper adds, “public exasperation against M. Delyannis is so intense that his return to office would surely lead to disturbances. PRESIDENT AT.NASHVILLE. Visits Tennessee Exposition and Makes An Address. Nashville, Term., June 11.—President McKinley’s party arrived at the Union station, this city, at 7.3'J o'clock this morning, and were met by Major J. W. Thomas, president of the Tennessee Cen tennial Exposition, and the members of the exposition executive committee. Af ter cordial greetings had been extended to the visitors, they were taken in carriages to the Maxwell house. 2 Leaving the hotel at 11 o’clock the party arrived at the exposition grounds three* quarters of an hour later. A detachment of ex-Confederate vete rans acted as a guard of honor. While the procession was on its way a salute of 25 guns was fired. Entering the exposition gates the party proceeded to tho auditorium, tinder the escort of the Centennial Guards,the Centennial chimes being rung for the first time. The President was heartily cheered when he reached the auditorium. Mrs. McKin ley, much to the regret of every one, did not feel equal to the heat and stress and remained in her room at the hotel. Mrs. Alger, Mrs. Gary and the Misses Gary were in the first line of the guests. J. W. Thomas, president of the Exposition company was seated at the President’s left and Commissioner H. C. Evans was to the right of the line. Govs. Taylor of Tennnessee and Bushnell of Ohio, with Mrs. Bushnell. entered as the band closed the opening overture and were heartily cheered. The governors then took their places by the President, reserved for them. Hon. John W. Thomas, president of the Exposition, was master of ceremonies. He was very brief but extended the heartiest of welcomes to the President, to the members of the Cabinet to Gov. Bushnell and to tho visiting Ohioans and the representatives of the press. Mr. Thomas then introduced Governor Taylor of Tennessee as “Our Bob” and his appearance was the signal for loud cheers. Governor Taylor was followed by Hon. W. L. McCarthy, mayor of Nashville, Senator W. T. Clark, president of the Centennial commission. After the musical interlude, Gov. Asa S. Bushnell of Ohio, was introduced. When Gov. Bushnell was in the middle of his speech vociferous cheers from the rear of the auditorium heralded the approach of Mrs. McKinley. The vast audience cheered until it seemed tired out, but commenced again with renewed vigor when a large bunch of fragrant roses was handed to Mrs. Mc Kinley, who bowed her acknowledge ments. w lien tne applause that tollowea Governor Bushnell's peroration had sub sided, President Thomas introduced the great figure of the occasion and Mr. Mc Kinlrty’s face lit up as the audience rose en masse and shouted out cheer after cheer. For several minutes the cheering went on and the President could only stand and smile and wait. At last quiet came and in a clear, penertating voice and more gesture is the wont, the chief executive delivered an ad dress. Applause was frequent during the speech anti heartily at times, but it reached a climax when the references to preservation of the Union were made. At the conclusion of Mr. McKinley’s speech a hickory cane, unadorned, but sturdy made from wood grown on the hermitage, was presented to the President by J. M. Dickinson, on behalf of the ladies hermitage association. The ceremonies in the club house being concluded the President and party went to luncheon at the West Side club on the grounds in front of the Administration building. After the conclusion of the ceremonies at the auditorium the President and some of his party visited the Parthenon, which is the art gallery and the children’s building and then repaired to the west side club house. In the ladies parlor Mrs. McKinley held an informal recep tion. Later in the afternoon, assisted by the President, she gave a reception to women in the women’s building. Dur ing the luncheon the residents in “Vanity Fair’’ which is similar in many respects to the midway plaisance at Chicago, formed a unique procession and marched past the club house. When the luncheon drew to a close there was a demand for speeches from one or another of the men of national reputation ■present and several responded. At 8 o’clock a fine display of fireworks over the lake was viewed by Mr. and Mrs. i McKinley and their party from the steps of the Parthenon. RIVERS FALLING SLOWLY. Flood In Western Tork Almost Kqualled That of a Tear Ago. [special to the pbess.] South Berwick, June 11.—As if to atone for his misdeeds of the past few days the weather clerk has given us a fair day to day, and hundreds of people have visited the rivers to watch the mighty torrents started by the recent storm. The Great Works river reached its highest point about 4 o’clock this morning and was at that time about one foot lowe£ than at the big flood in 1896. The Newichawanick Co., used every precaution to prevent serious damage. They placed sand bags about the bulkhead of No. 2 mill and boarded up the windows in the basement of No. 21 mill. Superintendent John Durry with a crew of men remained on duty all night and hauled stone to fill up the gullies or signs of gullies that might appear, and it is well that they did for they prevented very serious damage. The Salmon Falls river also has reached its height which was nearly equal lacking only a few inches of the height obtaind' in 1896. Agent P. S. Brown and a crew of men were also on duty at the Salmon Falls Manufacturing mills all night and did much to prevent serious damage there. The foundry of the Somersworth Ma chine Co. at Salmon Falls was also flood ed and a crew of men were kept there all night. The yard of the Porstmouth Co.’s mills was also baldy flooded. The mail service here has been better than yester day although the mails have been few and far between. There have been no trains on the northern division in either direction today. A crew of about 60 men are at work on Mclntires’ bridge today tan d travel on that line will pro bably be renewed tomorrow. The rivers are both falling slowly but are still several inches higher than they were Thursday night at this time, 6 p. m. EXCITEMENT AT NEWFIELD. Dam Goes Out and the Hill in Grave Dan ger. [SPECIAL TO THE PRESS.] Newfleld, June 11.—Great excitement prevails here over the high water. The Little Ossipee river has risen 4 feet with in the last 24 h >urs. One wing of the Hixon dam, so called, has gone tout and undermined the mill. At the time of writing it looks as if the whole mill would go. The people who live on \Vater street were quite anxious for the security of their homes. RAINS CAUSED HEAVY LOSSES. All Danger From Floods However is Over in New Fngland. Boston, June 11.—After a day of real June weather the reports from the north er, eastern and central sections of New England tonight show flooded rivers and lakes. All danger from increased height of water is of course over, but drowned crops and rivers full of wreckage t ell the story of heavy loss by fearfully copious rains. The Maine and New Hampshire rivers are doing the greatest damage especially to manufacturing industries along their banks. The two days’ loss will include nearly a dozen lives lost and damage to railroads and mill property aggregating at least half a million, distributed over a small territory. It’s equal in June has not been known for a great many years. f HE WEATHER. Washington, June 11.—Forecast for Sat urday for New Eng land: Fair, slightly warmer, light south erly winds.

Description of Man of War To Visit Portland. NOT ONE OF THE LARGEST OF HER MAJESTY’S SHIPS. The Saco Board of Pension Examiners Ap pointed—Boards of York and Cumber land Now Complete—Republican Unity on Tariff Bill, [SPECIAL TO THE PRESS.J Washington, June 11—The British man of war Pallas, which has been ordered to Portland this month, is one of the regular cruising vessels of the British North Atlantic fleet, and as this is a peaceful portion of the earth for the British, that fleet generally is not made up of the most formidable specimens of the Queen’s great navy. The cruiser Blake, which visited some of the American ports a few years ago, was a very fine vessel of mod ern cruiser type, but the Pallas more re sembles some of the old w den vessels, of the Tennessee class, such as were in Portland harbor under Admiral Luce eight or ten years ago. The Pallas was launched in 1865, having been begun in 1863. The ironclad was just then coming in, the examples of the American war having wrought already a naval revolu tion. Her length is 235 feet, beam 50 feet, tonnage 2,372 tons. She is protected by 4 1-3 inch armor. The remarkable feat ure in the ship is the arrangement for ob taining a direct gun fire ahead and astern from ports in the angle of the battery. The range of Are from indented ports is extended as much as possible by contract ing the upper works before and abaft the battery. The Pallas is propelled by a single screw 19 feet in diameter. She'has a record of 13.4 knots an hour. The hull of the Pallas is of wood, solid oak frames being fitted throughout be hind the armor. To enable the wooden frames to stand the enormous strain from the screw propeller in working at full^speed, the stern post and deadvvood have been connected by means of internal iron bulwarks and external brass cast ings, so as to bind the whole of the stern frame of the ship into one rigid mass. The weight of the armor plating is 580 tons, and the hull is protected from stem to stern up to the height of the main deck, and also over the whole extent of the central battery. The armament of the Pallas consists of four 12-ton guns, two sixty-four pounders and two 40-pounder Armstrongs. As has been stated this battery is so contrived as to permit two of the most powerful guns to be fired almost right ahead or right astern. This arrangement has the great advantage of allowing the deck above the guns to be converted into a spar deck at a great height above the water. The fixed bulwarks rise no less than 18 feet above the line of flotation. Very superior sea-going qualities have thus been se cured, while accommodation between decks is afforded to the officers and men to an extent unprecedented in small iron clad ships. The Pallas, according to the opinion of Sir Thomas Brassey, the naval expert from whom the facts in regard to the vessel, are obtained, is in every respect a sea-going vessel adapted for ocean ser vice in any part of the world. She car ries coal for steaming ten days continual ly at high speed. The under-water armor plating is sheathed with teak to prevent corrosion from the water. The bow of the Pallas projects ten feet below the water, and is armed with a formidable spur. The Saco board of Pension Examiners is to consist of Drs. John Lord of Bidde ford, Jasper D. Cochrane of Saco, and H. V. Noyes of Berwick. All the boards for the counties of York and Cumberland are now completed. There have been generally several candidates for each posi tion, anil it has not in all cases been easy to determine the relative merits between them. All these boards fell without the civil service order, which includes only those where the annual receipts are over $300. Both Bath, Augusta and Bangor were above the limit and are under civil service. There were more candidates for the Portland hoard than any other, many of them being physicians of long practice and eminence. Dr. J. F. Day. now of Saco, made a strong contest to retain his place on the Alfred board, to which he was appointed three years ago on the recommendation of John B. Donovan and Charles B. Morton or to be appointed on the Saco board. But his removal from Alfred to Saco last year justified his going off the Alfred board, and brought him into competition for the Saco board with candidates of stronger local political claims. In the Senate the course of events dur ing the tariff debate has brought on a condition of things little anticipated when it began. At the beginning the Republi cans were more or less split up among themselves by factional differences, and the Democrats thought that there would be a merry time when they began to bicker over the schedules. This is what happened to the Democrats during the discussion of the Wilson bill, and it was thought to be the normal condition of a party trying to put a tariff bill through the Senate. It must be confessed that there seemed to be some reasons for ex pecting just the thing which the Demo crats were expecting. But as usual when the Republicans try to do things as a party, common sense and unity have pre vailed. What ever contests there have been have been fought out in caucus, and when the party lias appeared on the lioor of the Senate It lias been united and effec tive But the Democrats have opened a big abyss between the two wings of their organization. Whoever heard the speech of Roger Q. Mills on Wednesday could have no doubt that there has arisen in the camp of his party a new force, that do not propose to be bound down to free trade ideas of the past. Mr. Mills de claimed in his most violent manner for a long time to prove that the Democratic party is and has been for many years a party tolerating a tariff only for revenue purposes. He quoted platforms and revered leaders to show this. When he concluded what was iu many respects the most notable speech of the session only two senators stepped up to congratulate him, one his own colleague from Texas and the other Mr. Gray of Delaware. The Georgia and South Carolina men, to whom he had read his lecture, answered him defiantly by voting against the next motion of Mr. Vest to [striko out a duty which was claimed to be contrary to Democratic doctrine. The Republicans are of course watching this bitter Demo cratic division with the keenest interest. It has drawn off the fight from the bill and substituted an internal dissension in the Democracy. PERSONAL. Rev. John T. McGrath, of Dorchester, Mass., a member of the Bowdoin class of ’63, is visiting Washington on his way to Michigan, where he is to speak on an an niversary occasion. Ho was a college friend of Hon. Amos L. Allen, and has visited him here. Hon. Tliaddeus R. Simonton of Cam den is among the visitors to Washington this week. Mr. Simonton has just met Justice White of the United States su preme court and the latter has decided to spend the summer at Camden. He will come very soon and will probably stay until the last of September or October. He is to have the Leland cottage which is near the Stone cottage, for this sum mer; but if he likes as well as he expects he will probably purchase a site and build for himself a summer house. Jus tic White is from Louisiana. He has probably become interested in Camden through Chief Justice Fuller who has been going there for some time. ^bale's household ilTbeing moved to Ellsworth for the summer, leav ing the palatial Sixteenth street house which was built by Mrs. Hale’s mother, Mrs. Chandler, and is the Senator’s home here in Washington.

Farmington, June 11.—Gilbert Blundell who was to have been placed on trial to day in the supreme court charged with assault with intent to kill in wounding Jack Moses at Lowelltown, was given a surprise as the state nol pressed the charge and instead presented one of as sault and battery with a dangerous weap on. To this Blundell pleaded nolo con tendere and was given four months in jail. The trouble for which Blundell was convicted occurred last Christmas in a store of the Moore Lumber company at Lowelltown. Blundell and Jack Moses both lumbermen had come in from a deer hunt and became intoxicated. An altercation over Cuban matters followed and Blundell shot his friend with his rifle, the bullet taking effect through the upper part of the lung. Blundell was arrested, brought to Farmington and in dicted by the February grand jury for as sault with intent, to kill. Moses being in a serious condition at that time on motion of the county attorney the trial was postponed for a later term of court as a charge of murder might bo brought in case Moses should die from his in juries. Bail was fixed at $2000. Blundell was unable to furnish it and has been in jail ever since. He is a model prisoner and says he is unable to recall the shoot ing. Moses has been doing well since. By special act of the Maino legislature the June term was made a criminal term and Blundell was brought to trial during it. BUSINESS JS BETTER. Hun’s and Bradstreet’s Agencies Both Agree to This. New York, June’ll.—Bradstrect tomor row will say: Notwithstanding cool, wet weather which checked the distribution of season able goods, disappointment at the restric tion of distribution of merchandise in the spring and early summer is giving way to hopefulness of full trade. Business is better than a year ago. The volume is larger and there are more people em ployed than prior to the last presidential election. Jobbers are beginning to report fair orders for fall delivery. Manufac turers of woolens are more hopeful, the outlook for higher prices stimulating a speculative demand for both raw and manufactured products.

Plan of Pallas Gun Arrangement. FRANCE AND RUSSIA. Two Nations Ready to Sign a Treaty. DEAL TO BE COMPLETED WHEN SI. FAURE VISITS RUSSIA. !_ Will Be One of the Most Laboriously Con structed Documents of Its Kind Ever Framed—Has Been in Progress of Con struction Since 1889* London, June 12.—The Paris corre spondent of the Times, says: “I am in a position to affirm that a definite treaty of alliance will be signed during M. Faure’s approaching visit to Russia by the Empe ror Nicholas, President Faure, Count Muraiveflf, the Russian foreign minister and M. Hanotaux, the French foreign minister. The treaty, whose terms have already been settled, will be one of the most laboriously constructed instruments of its kind. Every since 1889 it has been in process of construction. Two czars and three French Presidents with their re spective ministers have been working on it, the negotiations often being suspended owing to deaths, resignations and similar causes of interruption. A military convention was carefully considered and the French instruments exchanged were settled upon the basis of an alliance between the two nations and signed in the early part of 1894. This has been the sole document hitherto binding the two countries. “The late President Carnot, shortly be fore his death, referring to the negotia tions testified that the Emperor Alexander during five years of negotiations, never once took an ambiguous attitude or ex pressed a disquieting idea as to the cen tral purpose of the alliance.” BRITISH SOLDIERS ATTACKED. A Serious Rebellion Breaks Out on the Afghan Frontier. Bombay, June 11.—A despatoh received, here from Simla, the residence of the Indian government officials during the heated periods of the year, announces serious trouble in the northern frontier and the massacre of a number of British officei’S and native soldiers in the govern ment employ. Late reports indicate that the affair is more than a mere conflict with the war like natives, and that the notorious Mullah of Powindah is at the bottom of the trouble. A political officer, Mr. McGeet, was visiting Shirani with an escort of troops when he was attacked at Maiza by vastly superior forces. The British troops were compelled to retreat and were followed for several miles by overwhelming numbers of the enemy. The fighting was desperate. Two British officers were killed. The second despatch does not mention the death of Colonel Bunny, but from the fact that it says that Colonel Gray, from Miranshaih, has taken the command of the British force engaged, it is inferred that Colonel Bunny is also among the dead as at first announced. Tochi valley lies north of Gumal and on the road to Ghuzni and TSaziristan. The tribes there have alway s been turbulent and anxiety is felt lest the other tribes rise against the British. The Mullah of Powindah, is well known to the British Indian authorities. He is a notorious, fanatical priest and has aways been hostile to British influence. The news of the disaster on the frontier of British India has been officially con firmed. Cabinet Will Be Changed, London, June 11.—The Madrid corre spondent of the Pall Mall Gazette says: “It. is thought that the cabinet as at present constituted will continue only during the summer sojourn of the oourt at San Sebastian and that on the Queen Regents’ return to the capital it will be radically changed. Senor Canovas! del Castillo denies the report of the retirement of Captain Gen eral Weyler. Reports are current that a private un derstanding exists between Senor Cano vas and Senor Sagasta by the terms of which the latter is to succeed the former at the proper moment but not at the pres ent critical juncture, so that the succes sion to power shall always be kept be tween the two chief parties to the exclu sion of minor factions including the Carlists and Republicans. MATT ADAMS CONViCTED. Former Portland Man Found Guilty sf E nibezzlement. Denver, Col., June 11.—After a two weeks’ trial in the district court the jury returned a verdict of guilty in the case of Mass Adams, ex-clerk of the district court, on the charge of embezzling $40, 000. Adam’s flight, from Denver about a year ago created a sensation. He was arrest ed in Southampton, Eng., after evading the officers for several months. h i- i m!

Gordy, whose execution was arranged for i today prepared a rambliu 5 state ment to be read on the scaffold,, impug ning the evidence of those wh o testified against him and declaring his ii anocence. Gordy was hung at 10.26 this morning for the murder of his wife. He protested his innocence to the last. The exec ution was successful. Gordy’s wife was Mrs. Estelle M. Lew is, widow of Major Robert M. Lewis, a former prominent ink man afacturer. Two days previous to the wonu m’s disap pearance from New York ei' ty she told some of her friends that she h; id married James M. Gordy, a planter and horse breeder, living in Delaware. That was the last seen of her by her New York friends alive. Her body was found in the Broad Kill creek by two fishermen. There were three wounds on the head, any one of which would have caused death. The crime was traced to Gordy, property be longing to the woman being found on his person. After Gordy’s arrest for the 1 nurder of his wife numerous stories were p ut in cir culation regarding his past c areer. It was recalled by his neighbors that his first wife, who died suddenly had been heavily insured in favor of her infant child. The child also died suddenly soon after its mother’s death, in convulsions, and Gordy collected tho insurance. A barn belonging to Gordy on which there was a heavy insurance, was set on fire and burned. The insurance was also collected by Gordy. Shortly after his wife’s death Gordy eloped with a 15 year old girl, and after living with her a short time abandoned her. The state forged a chain >of evidence about Gordy that could not be broken. That Quagmire on Portland Bridge. If the commissioners of the county of Cumberland want to get the residents of Portland, South Portland and Cape Eliza beth under eternal obligations to them they will fix the quagmire on Portland bridge, between the part of the bridge that is planked and the paved str eet in Knightville. It is a disgrace to the county to allow such a mud hold as that to exist. The county of Cumberland is rich enough to pave this piece of road and the commissioners ought to see that it is done at once. Descendants ot ttte nuke ol York, A correspondent requests tho publica tion of the following: Tho York heirs descendants of the Duke of York are claimants to rich estates in England and New York city valued at many millions.

The announcement was made that all the quarterly meetings have paid or di rected their treasurers "to pay their repre sentative quotas of yearly meeting stock. There was some discussion over a propo sition to ullow each quarterly meeting to nominate its two representatives on the standing committee on nomination. One of the brothers disapproved of the idea of pushing so much responsibility on to the quarterly meetings. He said that such action would tend to lessen the in terest in the yearly meeting. Some spoke in favor of the old plan, and others pre ferred the new. The matter was referred. At this point Isaac Steere was moved to express his gratitude at being permitted to attend this annual gathering, and lie made a few comparisons between Friends’ meetings and the conventions of other religious bodies. He recently attended a convention of churches held in his town and was surprised to witness laughter, hand clapping and other noisy demonstra tions in response to stories told by speak firs.

The committee explained that unfortunate western in vestments had somewhat crippled the financial management of the institution. In answer to an inquiry the clerk an nounced that the state appropriation for the seminary was $800 a year for 10 years. Many spoke in complimentary terms of the report and especially commended its reference to the religious teachings there. John H. Grosman' of Lynn asked to what extent, the institution had sustained loss through unfortunate western invest ments. Home of the members thought that a minor point considering the good show ing of spiritual growth, but the question being pressed, George A. Grosman of Lynn, a member of the seminary com mittee, explained that western mortgages m which the funds of the institution had been invested had been foreclosed and as the property cannot, now bo disposed of at- an advantage, the cost of carrying tho property has been slightly felt. But he iurther added that C.M. Bailey had made a standing offer to take these holdings off the hands of the institution at the prices originally paid, and allow an interest of 4 per cent. Regarding tho deficit of $279.83, Mr. Bailey had generously offered, if the meeting would wipe out that indebted ness. to contribute $750 toward needed repairs and improvements contemplated at the school. After some discussion the meeting de cided to assume the debt question and instructed the clerk to enter upon the minutes a vote of thanks to Mr. Bailey. The most lengthy discussion of the af ternoon was in relation to the report of the Friends’ boarding school at Provi dence. The report of the committee wa -t a most favorable one. It recommended the addition of a gymnasium. The total number of scholars attending this year its 186. The financial statement showed total resources, $44,823.94, and a profit and loss balance of $2,827.86. Tho real estate report showed that a balance of $8,974.64 had been paid over to tho treas ury. “What portion of thy funds received from the sale of real estate lias been put aside to increase the permanent fund?” asked John H. Crossman of Lynn. The treasurer said that question could not bo easily answered without refer ence to the books. Much of the receipt from the last sale of land had been devot ed to the permanent improvements of tho school. Emeline Tuttle of Dover, N. H., who has a son in the Prox-idenCR school Dan nah H. Leggett, a minister of the New York quarterly meeting, who is an alum nus of that institution, James Chaco, George A. Crossman and others partici pated in the debate. George L. Crossman made some inquiries into the financial standing of the insti tution. A committee was chosen to con fer with him in regard to the matter. The committee on education submitted is report which showed a balance on hand of $65.99. The report was accepted and its request for an appropriation of $200 was referred to the finance committee.

The contests will begin right after the parade, and companies will be notified of their respective positions and time of playing as soon us tho drawing takes place. Tlie first prize will be *100, and the second prize $50 in each contest, the first being first class hand tubs, the sec ond second class tubs, the third, reel races and fourth, hose coupling contest. All end stroke engines having cylinders six inches in diameter, and side stroke and double deckers eight inch diameter cylin ders, will be first class, and all under that second class. No engine can enter both classes, nor any organization enter two engines. The number of men working on an engine will not be limited. Fifteen minutes will be the playing time, each contestant from the firing of a gun to set, play, and vacate the stand. The first en gine to play will be allowed ten minutes to set and get in working order and pass water through the hose (but not to wet the measuring platform) before tlieir time is called. Five minutes will be allowed to replace bursting hose. The stream measurements will be made wholly on paper, which shall be eight feet wide, and no measurements made when the water falls on the ground. Any fixture to steady the engine will lie allowed. Any organization not ready to play when its time comes, shall forfeit its play unless its tardiness was unavoidable. Judges’ decisions will be final. Protests must be presented to the judges immediately be fore or after the last engine has finished playing. No Portland fire company can compete. This does not include the Vet eran Firemen’s Association. All entries will close at midnight, Au gust 10th, and must be made to the secretary, Frank B. Moody, Woodfords.

Time to be taken from start to showing of water at the nozzle. In the hose coupling contest the com panies competing arc to consist of ten men who must have been members of the Fire Department from which they are en tered at least thirty duys drevious to clos ing of entries. Two hundred feet of regu lation 2 1-3 inch cotton hose, in fifty foot lengths is laid upon the ground leading from hydrant, with a'l connections brok en, men to be stationed in pairs fifty feet apart, each pair two hundred feet from point at which their coupling is to be made. It will be seen from the foregoing that the men designated to connect the pipe are stationed at the hydrant, two hundred feet from the pipe, the next pair fifty feet in their rear, and so on, so that the men who are to operate the hydrant are stationed two hundred feet from hy drant; at signal men to run, make all connections, attach pipe, open hydrant, show water, time to be taken from signal until water appears at nozzle of pipe. But one trial allowed each company company making best time to be declared the winner. Hose for this contest will be furnished by the Portland Fire Depart ment and is the ordinary 2 1-2 inch cotton rubber lined hose, with Morse couplings.

HUNDREDS OF THEmT”“ But There’s a Material Difference When the Proof Comes from Portland. There are a great many of them. Every paper has its share. Statements hard to believe, harder to prove. Statements from far-away places. What people say in Maine. Public expressions from California. Oftimes goon indorsement there. But of little service here at home. Portland people want local proof. The sayings of neighbors, friends and citizens. Home indorsement counts. It disarms the skeptic, is beyond dis pute. This is the backing that stands behind every box of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here is a case of it: Mr. J. D. Ross, of 6 Lincoln street says: “I suffered with pain and lame ness across my back and in the region of the kidneys for a good while. It distressed me very much at night and I had to keep changing my position frequently which of course disturbed my rest. In the morning it was all I could do to stand up or-to stoop over to put on my shoes. I procured Doan’s Kidney Pills from H. H. Hay Son’s drug store at the corner of Free and Middle streets. They prompt ly and permanently cured me. I am tell ing nothing but the truth concerning Doan’s Kidney Pills for they toned up my kidneys and strengthened my back until it feels as good as ever.” Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers, price 50 cents.

REFUSED THE CASE. AN EMINENT SPECIALIST DE CLARES NELSON JONES INCUR ABLE. This Splendid Constitution Wrecked, and All Hope Dispelled. He Prepares to Meet Death. A Timely Sugges tion Acted Upon, And He Lives to Tell This Story*. From the Courier, Buffalo, X. Y, “It is the best medicine I ever took,” said Nelson Jones, of 1477 Main Street, Buffalo, N. Y., to a reporter, speaking of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. “I have recommended them to a great many people and they have done lots of good. I was employed on the Buffalo Street Railway two years ago, but had been running down in health. I appreciated my condition and went to one doctor after another in Buffalo, some of them the best physicians in the city. I took their medicines faithfully, but not one of them did me any good. Finally I had to give up work entirely, and realized that I wasn’t, going to stay long above ground if I did not get some help. I had already spent a good share of my savings for advice and medicines without receiv ing any benefit whatever, so far as I could tell. I had employed in all five doctors, giving each one a thorough trial. “In the fall of 1894 I heard of a promi nent specialist in Toronto and after talk ing the matter over I decided to go there and consult him. Let me say here that my stomach had become so sensitive that I could retain scarcely any food whatever. I suffered great agony on account of indi gestion, and in my kidneys had racking pains all the time. I don’t know by what name to call these troubles, for the doctors never gave me a satisfactory ex planation. The pains in the back* were something terrible. I sometimes went 3(5 hours without passing any urine. From a stout, healthy man, I became a weak, puny looking person, and could do no work whatever. I wanted to sleep nearly all the time. I was brought up on a farm and always accustomed to the hardest kind of hard work. I could do just as much work in a day as the next one, and it was a hardship to be compelled to lie idle and be of no use to any one. “Well, I went to the distinguished spec finally said that he could do nothing for me. He said he could take my money just as fast as anyone, but he could not do it honestly, and so he declined to give me any medicines or to take any money. He said he did not know of anything that would give me relief. I felt then that I had better make up my mind to accept the inevitable. But where there’s life there’s hope, and that very day a man who heard of my case said to me, ‘Do you know,sird think that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills would help you? You go to the drug store and get a box and give them a trial. “I followed this advice. I bought three boxes and took them home with me. I took two pills after each meal—though meals were of little account to me then. I began to feel better right off. The pains in my stomach were eased to a re markable extent, and my appetite im proved. My stomach became strong again, the pains in my kidneys stopped, and I began to take on flesh.' In all, I think, I took twenty-three boxes, and by that time I had recovered my usual weighttof 185 pounds. I do not claim to be an en tirely well man now, but 1 am much bet ter than I have been for four years, and I do not hesitate to say that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are the best medicine I ever took. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements neces sary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregulari ties and all forms of weakness. They build-up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Com pany, Schenectady, N.

ARISTOCRACY ON THEIR WAY TO A “DRAWING" ROOM.” How Victoria Looked—Dressed in the Plainest of Black—The Princess of Wales—Pictures at the Hoyal Academy —Madame Barnes as Marguerite at Co vent Garden—Madam Tussaud’s Wax Figures. (Special Correspondence of the Press.) London, May 17, 1897. “To wait or not to wait? that is the question,’’ said six shivering, shaking sisters on Monday morning, May 10th. We were ranged on a front seat, other wise called a bench, in Hyde Park, fac ing the very narrowest portion of “Con stitution Hill,” in order to gain a look at Her Majesty the Queen. She came from Windsor that day, on her way to Buckingham Palace where she was to hold a Drawing room next day. We had, simultaneously, sprung up on the bench thirteen times at as many false alarms of here she is, and as many times drawn our wraps more closely about us and sat down to patient waiting. Finally the great iron gates, which are unlocked only for the Queen’s entrance, swung open, the royal guard mounted on superb horses came galloping by and in the twinkling of an eye we had seen the sight of sights,—Victoria, Queen of England and Empress of India, with her daughters Princess Louise and Princess Christian. We were so near, and stood so high, that we had no difficulty in per suading ourselves that the bow her most gracious Majesty gave was a personal one for ourselves, and intended as a public announcement of the friendly relations she desired to maintain with the United nunes; we i-eceivea it in me spirit in which it was proffered, and waved and cheered lustily. The amount of royal luggage sent in advance of the party cer tainly gave credibility to the report that Her Majesty never travels for a sojourn of even twenty-four hours without the bed, bureau, easy-chair and general furnish ings which she is accustomed to see and use. The portraits of the Queen are so idealized that one sees no picture of the actual woman. She is far from present ing a queenly figure; imagine a short gray haired person, exceedingly stout, with a round puffy face, glasses on nose, and dressed in the severest, plainest black —surely nothing could be more unlike one’s preconceived notion of a queen, who is supposed to be blessed with perennial youth, loveliness and commanding grace. Victoria in her girlhood is said always to have been photographed standing on a concealed footstool. With age, her height has diminished and when sitting, her head barely reaches her daughter’s shoul der. Princess Beatrioe has a lovely coun tenance, yet its expression shows that even a Princess can have troubles and trials like ordinary women. We were so elated with our view of the Queen, that we determined the following day to try for a glimpse of the Prince and Princess of Wales, as they were to assist at the Queen’s drawing room. We started about noon for Buckingham Palace, as all car riages begin to line as early as one o’clock. The English people, to say nothing of Americans, ’“dearly love a lord” and for two hours an endless pro cession filed past the carriages, looking through the open windows at the beauty and fashion of the English aristoc racy. There were hundreds of prancing steeds, the coachmen and footmen decor ated with such huge bontonnieres that they could hardly see over them. The titled women in their fine equipages were dressed magnificently; court trains of nile green velvet, heavenly blue brocade, or shimmering satin; the diamond tiaras, the necklaces of pearls, rubies and emer alds were dazzling. All wore the pre scribed white feathers in their hair, from which; depended the narrow tulle veil, and each carried a huge shower bouquet of orchids, roses or some flower whose uuiui uiciiucu vy iiu wiv wovuuic, luauj ui these bouquets had ribbons arranged to stand in stiff loops among the blossoms and occasionally feathers also were intro duced. All dresses were cut decollete, and the arm was bare to the shoulder as the glove reached only to the elbow. Out of the entire number there might have been a dozen handsome women, (we saw but two) and to state the unvarnished truth the majority were exceedingly plain, scrawny and sallow except when relieved by unlimited quantities of powder and rouge. But hurrah! there comes the Princess, and ignorant people, who shall be nameless, began a feeble cheer, which was quickly suppressed as a native Briton rather contemptuously explained “that is a Duchess.’’ But if one sees a brilliant red coach, with gilt trimmings, with two “illegant gentlemin” in front, and two standing behind, dressed in scarlet coats and gold lace,;with white silk stockings, immense shoe-buckles, powdered hair tied in a queue, and red and gold three cornered hats, is it not natural to think that such splendor means a Princess is approaching? All things come to the women who wait, and soon were seen the outriders—which now we realize always precede royalty—and the lovely Alexandra (powdered, painted and wigged to resem ble a girl of twenty) drove by bowing right and left. One bent old woman lie longing to the poorest class, had secured a place in front, as the royal carriage passed she was nearly frantic with delight. “Oh the dear Princess, the sweet Princess” She screamed. Evidently H. R. H, heard her, for she turned her e i completely round and bowed, apparently directly to the loyal old subject, certainly giving evidence of the kindly heart which has done much to make the Princess of Wales the idol of the British kingdom. But by no means the least of our royal experiences was the royal welcome we received from Mr. and Mrs. George Moore, soon after our arrival. We are indebted to their cordial hospitality lor our first visit to Crystal Palace. Their Old People.

Here we met the genial artist, Mr. Harry Brown, who gayej.us a hearty greeting, and what a good time we had talking of old friends and familiar scenes! After a most delicious lunch, we spent several hours in the immense glass palace, whose wonders would take days to see. It being Saturday one attraction was a concert given by four thousand children, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge being present and distributing prizes to schools having the best record in the study of music. It was an impressive sight to see so vast a num ber of children, but we were disappointed in tho volume of sound, which was far less than we had expected. Before leaving our friends we made an appointment to visit, on the following Thursday, the Royal Academy, where the criticisms made by Mr. Brown, and the information he gave us, we found invaluable. The*1 entrance to the Royal Academy is very imposing. We passed through wrought iron gates into a large court yard, and before us was the academy, to be a “Pel low” of which is the goal of muny an ar tist’s ambition. Even with our lack of art knowledge a number of the paintings on the “line” appeared singularly want ing.in expression and finish; on inquiring as to their merit, our oracle assured us that in London as well as other places, personal influence was a powerful factor in the hanging of a picture, and it was by no means merit alone that always gained the coveted place. One of the most criticized pictures of this one hundred and twenty-ninth exhibition, is Abbey’s “Hamlet.” Tho coloring is wonderful,but it is framed so close that the heads of the King, Queen and courtiers touch the moulding, which gives so shortened a look to the canvas as to materially detract from its effectiveness. Lady Butler’H Steady the Drum and Fife” is worthy of the artist of “The Roll Call.” Henriette Runner’s “Cosy Corner” is bewitching with its life-like kittens; but we have not space to enumerate one quarter of the fascinating pictures, the Herkomers, Firths, Alma Tademas. Farquarson’s “In a fog’ bought for the gallery is a notable painting. There are as usual, numerous portraits. Julian Story’s “Prince of Wales” is considered excellent; but the place of honor is held by Sargent. The background of his picture is particularly harmonious and serves to bring out most effectively the figure of Mrs. Carl Meyer, whose pink gown is so perfectly executed in light and shade as absolutely to make one ieei mat it woum rustle u touched; but to our uncultured taste, Sargent’s “Hon. Laura Lister” is far lovelier; such a quaint little figure dressed in black satin, a white mob cap on the glolden hair, while the questioning eyes seem to ask “What does it all mean?” From pictures to music— could any transition be more agreeable And when the music means, as at this time, Grand Opera with the “adorable Eames, there is nothing left to wish for. Faust was the opera for the opening night at Covent Garden, and Eames as Marguerite presented the same exquisite figure we have so often seen; royalty was present, the house crowded. We were so impatient to see Eames as Elizabeth in “Tannhauser,” that we could not half enjoy other good things. We were in our seats early, ready to eagerly scan the full dress toilets. What a picture it all made! One beauti ful creature in a wonderful creation of pale violet satin was a vision; the small puffs of sleeves were slipped entirely off the snowy shoulders, the bodice consisted only of a deep V both back and front. In the royal box sat the Princess of Wales, in black satin, and near, her daughter the charming Princess Victoria, also in black. In an adjoining box we saw the Duchess of Fife, a very unattractive woman. Just at the moment when we were feeling in the seventh heaven (doubtless the! location of our seats had something to do with our exalted con dition) a voice behind us said, “Pity Eames is not the Elizabeth tonight, she is ill and Mme. Pacary takes her place, at such short notice there was no rehearsal.” The blow was somewhat softened by the reflection that we should nevertheless hear Van Dyck. His voice is certainly powerful but is maned by a tendency to fall below the pitch which is also true of Pacary, who has, besides, the unpleasant tremolo which many singers imagine de notes feeling. Both acted their parts with fervor, but the opera with Lehmann, as we heard it in Boston several years ago, was superior. Does anyone think for a moment that Americans in making a first trip abroad are free agents? Far from it, they are controlled by an inexorable tyrant named Baedeker, who says “Go,” and they goeth. If there were one place auove an owners idm we aid nor wane to see, that place was Madame Tussaud’s; did we escape it? by no means. With the irony of fate the stone fortress proved to be within a block of our humble dwell ing. Every day we drove, our equipage (bus) passed so near that ths startling placards reminded us of our neglected duty. In vain we would engage in ani mated conversation about the weather, or fix our eyes with a vacant stare in the opposite direction when we thought we were free and again “took notice” the first thing we would see would be a full length print of Edward 1st proclaiming his son the first Prince of Wales which could “be seen in wax at Mme. Tus saud’s.” We endured it for three weeks; at length one evening as we four sat silent in the gloaming, suddenly, without warning, Mrs. Tapley spoke, “It must be done let us go tonight and have it over.” No need to inquire what was meant, an accusing conscience told us. Within fifteen minutes wo were viewing the ghastly subjects, we were blushing to think Mrs. Cleveland could have allowed “Grover” to be “waxed” in such a suit of clothes and burning with indignation that the English people should be permit ted to think America produced such mon strosities as here stand for Washington and McKinley. The Chamber of Horrors “broke every barrier down.” We thought we were bold and brave, but a glance at those gruesome guillotined heads was too much and we sped home to bed and to nightmares. MRS. HERMANN KOTZSCHMAR. Commander Wingate’s Funeral. The funeral of Commander George E. Wingate, U. S. N., of Charlestown Navy Yard, took place Thursday. Services were held at his residence, 85 Dexter street, Malden, Mass. |The house was filled with friends, including delegations from the Navy Yard and also front St. John’s lodge of Masons of Portsmouth, and the Loyal Ixtgion. The room in which the casket stood was banked with flowers There was a large floral anchor from his old associates at the Navy Yard, floral emblems from the Masons and Loyal Legion. The remains rested in a black casket over which a Union Jack was folded. Eight marines acted as a body guard, and later accom panied the remains to the grave as a funeral escort. Rev. George A. Holbrook of Troy, N. Y., a brother of Mrs. Wingate, officiated, and he was assisted by Rev. Henry H. French, pastor of the Malden Congrega tioal church.

The hearing on a petition for prelimi nary injunction in the suit of Col. Ed ward Moore vs. City of Deering, to re strain the city from widening a street in front of hisjresidence, was continued at the request of counsel for the city, until Monday next at 11 a. m., when argu ments of counsel will be heard upon the motion. The point of law involved in this motion is whether or not a town or city can after the expiration of three years from the date of location made by County Commissioners, enter upon a man’s land and bring it within the lim its of the highway as re-located by the Commissioners. This order to appear was made returnable before Judge Has kell, but the hearing will be before Judge Strout. Gen. Mattocks appeared for Col. Moore, and City Solicitor Matthews for Deering. This is expected to be a warm contest as both sides are very determined. GREAT EXCITEMENT AT WORCESTER Two Men Arrested Thursday Morning for Fast Biding. At eight o’clock Thursday morning, at Worcester, Mass., two men were arrested for fast bicycle riding. When they appeared in court Friday morning before Judge Hay, they were asked what they had to say for themselves They simply said that they had those large sprockets on the Lovell Diamond Bicycle and could not ride slow. “Enough,” said the Judge, “I am confident that, the statement is true, as I ride a Lovell Diamond wheel myself.

I did not expect them to cure me in my condition, and after taking them for a few days I was about to give up, but concluded to give them a good trial. Before long I began to improve. I used the box and bought a dollar bottle; but I did not need half of them, for they did their work nobly, and I was soon a new man.

Bailey of Texas thinks that the Nebras ka orator has “broadened out.” This may be, but he still continues mighty thin in spots. As Secretary Bong explicitly says the New York is not going to Cuba there would seem to be no particular point in predicting that she is. The German parliament has already begun the policy of retaliation against the United States and has passed a bill which practically shuts out American oleomargarine from the German market. Iron and steel are generally regarded as fair’ indices of trade and with a jump in pig iron from $8.50 to $9.50 a ton and like advance of steel billets from $14.50 to 415.50, there is goodreason to be thank ful and take courage. The Marquis of Lorno in the North American Review says “It lias been the proud prerogative of Queen Victoria to make the woman’s duty the nation’s glory.” Now and then mothers-in-law receive justice at the hands of their sons. Somebody wanted Gov. Bradley to wear a silk hat on “Kentucky Day” at Tennessee Centennial Exposition in Nash ville, but he refused saying he had worn white felt hats for a quarter of a century and did not intend to discard them now. The South Carolina dispensary decision has been under consideration by the Sen ate Judiciary committee and the opinion seems to be that South Carolina has re course to the Court of Appeals and then by appeal to the Supreme Court. It was thought that the Simonton decision might be reversed in the higher courts. The Cattle Trust of Chicago has decid ed to exact a further advance of one anda half cents a pound for beef from the wholesale dealers. Such action was ren dered necessary by the operation of the natural law of supply and demand. So say the cattle barons, but nevertheless, there'Is a lurking suspicion in the minds of many that concerted and combined action by the “Big Western Four” has had something to do in effecting this ad vance. It looks now as if the surprisingjdevel opment of protection sentiment among southern senators would enable the Re publicans to pass a tariff bill without the assistance of some of the Western sil ver senators whom it looked awhile ago as if it would be necessary to conciliate If this prove to be the case some of the bad features put into the bill at the demand of Senator Jones of Nevada can be eliminated before the final vote is taken. The Supreme Court of Kansas has just handed down a decision which being in the interest of equity and justice will afford a genuine surprise. The authori ties of Garfield county iu that state issued a large block of bonds several years ago which were afterwards repudiated on the grounds that a court decision held that the county had been illegally organ ized. The territory was in the course of time includcd'as a township in an adjoin ing county and thereupon the holder of the bonds instituted suit to recover and it is now held that the defaulting town ship must pay the debt. Every tariff must be laid primar ily for revenue. That is to say there would be no justifi cation for imposing a tariff except as a means of raising revenue to pay gov ernment expenses. The protectionist differs from the free trader in seeking to so arrange duties that while they raise revenue they will Jo some extent protect American industries. Bounties though they have been attached to tariff bills are really notjgermane to them. The Rubin liill to pay a bounty on agricul tureal exports could not logically be made a part of a bill one of whose purposes is to raise revenue for a bounty is an expen diture and not a receipt. To have at tached it to tho present tariff l)ill would have annulled in large measure the] chief purpose of that hill, which is to raise money for tho expenses of the govern ment; for with it the measure would have fallen far short of producing as much money as the government needs. The Lubin amendment was not really germane to a bill with the declared pur pose of the measure pending in the Sen ate. There may be merit in a proposition to help the farmer out by means of a bounty on such of his products as are ex ported, but it is a proposition that ought to be considered apart from a bill whoso purpose is to raise revenue. Nothing can be clearer than that the sentiment in favor of protection is grow ing at the South. Why it is growing may admit of different answers. In some quarters it is attributed to the hatred down there of Cleveland Democrats and the consequent tendency to get away as far as possible from anything the Cleve land Democrats profess to believe in. That may have something to do with it, but there can be little doubt that the most of the increase of this sentiment is due to the conviction that protection will lead to the development of Southern in dustries and Southern agriculture. It is only recently that the South has begun to study its interests and what will be pro motive of them. Ever since the war, and long before too, its chief concern has been about its rights. Politics was the princi pal occupation of the'whites of the South before the war, and until recently it has been their principal occupation since. That is to say ever since the war the whites have been concerning themselves about measures and devices for the pur pose of suppressing the negro vote so as to keep political power in the hands of the whites. Now that the spectre of u-jiiiiuatiuii iias jjraciiuaiiy uisujj pearcd it is gradually turning its ener gies to the discovery of means to develop its industrial and agricultural resources. In many of the states it has ceased to be possible to conjure longer with the negro domination spectre. A great many of the people, if not the majority, have got by that and are now beginning to see in legislation an aid to the development of their resources. The springing up of manufacturing industries in various parts of the South has had a potent effect in directing attention to the protec tive tariff and converting many Southern men who were born free traders to that policy. It was inevitable that the change (hat is now going on should take place whenever the South turned to a consideration of its interests, and ceased to he worried about its rights.

Tuberculosis and the Cat tle Commissioners To Vie Editor of Vie Press: In today’s issue of your paper I note you print an abstract of the paper on “Bovine Tuberculosis in its Relation to the Human Family,” as read by G. H. Bailey, D. V. S.,Maine State Veterinary Surgeon, etc. Knowing something of the stand that the gentleman and one of his associates on the Board of Cattle Com missioners take at the present time, I am led to ask the question, “Where are we at?” If the dread disease, bovine tubercu losis existed to any marked extent last February when the writer listened to this paper, it certainly must be in existence at the present day, and if it does exist, why is it that they do not co-operate with the present local Board of Health and demonstrate that it can be stamped out? It certainly is high time that “peanut politics” cease to be an item in this con troversy and if the Maine State Cattle Commission stand for anything, they should demonstrate what it is. At the time this paper on Bovine Tuberculosis came before the public in February, it was a very well known fact that it played a certain part of the programme of poli tics that was about to be brought before the legislature at Augusta, and it is just as well known now that those plans or schemes miscarried, lay the blame where they will. It is possible that the farmers are “wooden heads,” but I for one do not be lieve it. Let us compare the work that has been done so far by the local Board of Health, with that of the State Board of Cattle Commission and see which commends itself to the unbiassed person’s mind As an example, I know of a herd where the State Veterinary or his assistant has tested the cattle and condemned one cow; a certificate has been given for the bal ance of the herd, but so far as I am able to learn nothing was said about disinfect ing the stall or crib that this creature occupied. The local Board of Health re quires of the Veterinary that he report the condition of each cow tested prior to and during the test; also the sanitary condition of her surroundings, water sup ply, etc., and it leaves a certificate de scribing the cow, with the owner, which is numbered, and that same number on a tag is placed in the cow’s ear. The Board files a, duplicate of each certificate granted, which any purchaser of said cow or its milk can see at any time, which shows the Board of Health’s work to be systematic, and hence commendable. Now I see no reason why any farmer so disposed could not have his cows tested by the State Board of Cattle Commission ers und in a short time dispose of them and replace them,with no certainty to the buyer of his cows or the consumer of his milk that his cows were ever right. Would it not be better to have some systematic plan adopted to stamp out this disease? It is plainly evident to any farmer, or the Liver to a healthy condition, cures sallow complexion, Jaundice, and drives away that languid, jaded feeling. 25c at all druggists, or by mail. Frost Horn. Remedy Co., Snringlield, Mass. other person, that if this disease is con tagious, and it certainly is, that it will be useless for us to try to rid ourselves of it unless the Veterinary should prescribe some method of disinfecting tho place oc cupied by diseased cattle, when he linds any in a herd, and thus not perpetuate the disease for future trouble to the own er, and practice to the Veterinary. As matters stand now, there is' no con fidence on the part of the people that the source of their supply of milk is to bo bettered by tho present mode of operation, and it is time that matters were brought to some definite understanding, and thus allow the people to be relieved of so much agitation. Although there are many other things beside tubercle bacilli that the milk de livered to the people of Port land can be contaminated with which is injurious to the health of those that consume it, yet if the danger from this disease, or any part of it, exists that is claimed by expert opinion to exist, it stands tho public to demand that the goods they pay for shall be free from such dangers, from whatever source they may arise, and in sist that the milk they have is pure in all respects.

Brunswick, June 11.—The Bowdoin Juniors celebrated Ivy day today. Prompt ly at two in the afternoon the crowd on the staircase and landing of Memorial hall parted, and Mr. Howard R. Ives of Portland, the marshal of the class, lead three score becapped and gowned juniors into the hall and to their seats on the rostrum, to the music of the Germania band of Boston. Prayer was offered by the class chaplain, Mr. Robert M. Morson. Alter music the oration was given by Mr. William W. Lawrence of Portland. Ivy day orations as a rule are psychological discussions of unpardonable length and indigestable truths. But Mr. Lawrence stepped over the bounds of custom and gave an address on a subject that should live active in all collegian’s ambition. Literature iu the college. His address was full of practical ideas. the president then introduced tho poet of the day, Thomas L. Marble of Gorham, N. H., who Is an important factor in tho literary life of Bowdoin. He is a member of the editorial boards of the three Bow doin publications, the Orient, Quill'and Bugle. He read the Ivy day poem. When the band had ceased its work President White again came forward and delivered his address. His address was the bright and merry side of the exercises. The first presentation was a tiny dumb bell to the class athlete, Mr. Wendell P. McKown of Boothbay Harbor, who is more famous for his mental than for his physical prowess. President White presented to Mr. Guy H. Sturgis, New Gloucester, a spade as an appropriate gift to the class dig; to Mr. Cassius C. Williamson of Gorham, IN. H., a diamond of almost too extensive proportion to be real; to the class back slider, Mr. Francis A. Hamlin of Brun swick, an appropriate gift. The richest joke of the day was when President White awarded Mr. Percival P. Baxter of Portland a pair of shining handcuffs, typical of his position as class criminal. Baxter’s response was the brightest of the day. The last presentation was the one serious affair of the lot. President White laid aside his joking and made a warm and hearty greeting to the class of ’98’s popular man, Mr. William W. Spear of Rockland. As President White said, in stead of calling Mr. Spear class popular man, he should be called the most popular man in college. Mr. Spear responded in an appropriate speech of thanks. The Germania band belched forth with their heavy guns and the audience re turned to earth again from their journey into lands of ideals and dreams. Headed by the band, the class marched to the corners of Memorial hall, where the ivy was planted by the curator, Mr. Emery G. Wilson of North Harpsweil. The beautiful ode written by Mr. Thomas L. Pierce of Portland was sung by the class after the ceremony. Mr. Pierce is ihe brother of H. H. Pit-roe, the ’B6 Class Hay poet, and a distant relative of the poet Longfellow. His ode was very pretty, and what’s more, it was well sung. Then the crowd followed to King’s chapel where the seniors went through the ceremony of last Chapel, which is always the most pathetic and beautiful of all Bowdoin customs. After the prayer by President William De Witt Hyde, the seniors marched in solemn step to the air of Auld Lang Syne. Robust hearts in robust breasts rose and fell, and great big tears rolled down thin cheeks. In more than one corner the damp eye was manifested. The under graduates received the seniors outside and mutual cheering was the order. The committee which had in charge the Ivy day ceremonies were Mr. Edward E. Spear of Washington, 1). C., Mr. Dwight R. Pennell of JLewiston and George F. Stetson of Bangor. Everything went off evenly and every one was delighted. FINANCIAL Missouri, Kansas k Innas Trust Go. KANSAS CITY, MO.

Take No Medicine Unless Ton Ire Sick, Munyon decries dosing and doping. Why should the glorious springtime be the signal for a deluge of physic, and the golden harvest be associated with the excessive drinking of rum and whiskey disguised as bit ters? Medicine should only be given 11 to the sick, and should always be ad 1 ministered with gentleness and dis i cretion. Medicine should be to Nature only a delicate rebuke of error and a kind encouragement of the physical forces for good. The hard work of re covery is done by Nature itself. The human body is more delicate than the finest mechanism, more sensitive than the tenderest plant. To shatter the liver with mercury, to madden the nerves with morphine and chloral, and to flay and burn the stomach with every poison black-listed with skull and cross-bones, is torture more demonic than the Inquisition. This is a world of compensations. For every valley there is a correspond ing mountain, for every darkness there is a corresponding light, and for every disease there is a corresponding cure. Not all such cures have yet been found, but Munyon has discovered fifty-seven of them. Each one of Munyoris cures is a specific for some particular disease, and for nothing else. Each one of Munyon’s cures is a climax of scientific experiment, the exact fit in each case. Munyon’s Remedies for sale at all druggists. Mostly 23 cents a bottle.

BEHRING SEA. The Arbitrators to Meet in Montreal Next Week. The Behring Sea Arbitration Commis sion will meet in Montreal on the 16th instant. The arbitrators are Mr. Justice King, of the Supreme Court, of Ottawa, and Judge Putnam, of Portland, Me. The Canadian side will be represented by the Hon. Mr. Peters, of Charlottetown, P. E. I.; F. L. Beiwque, Q. C., of Mon treal; Mr. Bod well, of Victoria, B. C., and Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper. The lawyers on the American side will be Hon. Don M. Dickinson," of Detroit; Robert Lansing, of Watertown, and Chas. B. Warren, of Detroit, Mich. The object of the meeting is to agret upon the date and place for hearing the verbal ar guments. Application will bo made by the American side for leave to reopen the inquiry, the object being to attempt to prove that one of the claimants is an American citizen, and therefore not en titled to recover damages. The applica tion will be opposed by the Canadians. It is not expected that the arbitrators will sit there longer than one day. MUSIC AND DRAMA. Whittier's Comedians. The Biddeford Record thus speaks of this company that will be here at Port land Theatre next week: The attraction last night was Bartley Campbell’s “The Galley Slave,” and it was given a splendid presentation. The stage settings were handsome, the mem bers of the company were all equal to the requirements put upon them and every care was given to the minutest detail. Sidney Norcott, the galley slave, was in the hands of Carroll Daly, and he was all that could be expected of him. The com edy part of John Franklin Fitts was in t le hands of Mr. Crolius, and his humor throughout the evening was very enjoy able and he was again and again ap plauded for the excellence of his work. The leading lady of the company is Miss Edith Ives, and as Cicley Blaine she was very strong, at times rising far above the leading lady of the ordinary reper to re company. The Island Theatre. If we may judge from-the unusually large sale of reserved seats there will be a hot time at Peaks Island theatre next Monday night when “A Social Highway man” will make his first‘bow before a Portland audience. Bartley i McCallum has worked very hard for the past nine years to win the confidence of Portland theatre-goers and the result is most grati fying. They all know that when they go to the Peaks Island theatre that they will get more than the full value of their money. Mr. McCallum hopes to make this, his tenth season, more brilliant than any proceeding one. He has secured the best and strongest plays available and he undoubtedly has the 1 best stock company in this part of the country. “ASocial Highwayman” the opening play, will be cast as follows: Courtice Jaffrey, William H. Pascoe Livingston Remson, John K. Armstrong Gordon Key, T. B. Bridgeland Carolus Despard, Norman D. Conniers Merton Harley, Arthur Livingtson George Bartlett, Park Hughes Jenkins Hanby, Bartley McCullum Senora Lila Caprices, Lisle Leigh Duchesse of Clayborough, Geneveve Reynolds Elinor Burnham, Maude Winter Miss Munyon Pyle, Beatrice Ingram Mrs. Deane, Helene Robertson Dora La Forge, Blanche Hall The entire production will be under the personal direction of Bartley McCullum.

Mr. Homer Chase was in Portland yes terday on business relating to the musi cal festival. Another meeting of the finance com mittee“of the Bangor Maine Musical festi val was held Thursday evening at the Bangor common council rooms for the purpose of: conference as to the progress and planning for the future. While all the members of the soliciting committees were not present it was learned that practically $5001) worth of stock had been subscribed for. One of the members of the committee has received inquiry con cerning the proposed building from par ties who state that if built they would like to occupy it two nights a week from November to March. TV. L. U. Field Day.

B-)fwcen Woodfords and Deering Center the cars of this route will run via Spring street and Stevens Plains avenue alternating and dividing the interval with the Westbrook cars on Spring street. THE CATHOLIC PARTY. Mr. James C. Burnham Says It Represents the True Principles of the Church. To the Editor of the Press: Will you allow mo to say that the Ca tholic party of which Rev. Dr. Dalton speaks in his communication respecting Rev. Mr. Pupineau is the party which re presents the true principles of the Holy Catholic church This statement the writer proved from historical evidence in his ar ticle on Bishop Neely’s episcopate, which was published in the Sunday Telegram of January 24. !,Tho writer knows that Mr. Papineau did not intend to show any discourtesy to the representative of the Maino Bible society therefore he thinks that was the reason that Mr. Papineau did not avail himself of the opportunity which was afforded him in the diocesan convention held in St. Luke’s cathedral of defending himself against an unjust charge. JAMES CLARK BURNHAM. June 11. The Episcopal Missionary ‘•Band.** To the Editor of the Press: It appears from your report of the meeting of the Maine Episcopal Mission ary Society that there is “a falling off” of contributions, specially from the large parishes, in some cases one-half. “Hard times” are assigned as one reason, but I apprehend that want of confidence is an other, and stronger. About half of the missionaries constitute “tho Catholic party,” who have no real constituency, or clientele, in their several towns, and the number of their nominal adherents steadily diminishes. The fact is, in not a single instance could they live a year or six months on their own account. Of the ten sustained by the Domestic Mis sionary Society of New York, one-half at least are a source of weakness to the Diocese and the Protestant Episcopal church. Yet these are the men who as pire to rule and run the Diocese, and discounting the years the Bishop has to live, are already in the field, and have been for a year or two, canvassing for votes to secure a successor who will be one of themselves. A. DALTON. June 11. Stolen Bicycle Recovered. Mr. Harry Rolfe left his bicycle on Preble street, near Oxford, last Monday evening, while he went into a store near by on business. When he came out he discovered that some one had stolen his wheel while he was gone. The matter was reported to the police and a descrip tion of the wheel given. Officer Pillsbury was put on the case but failed to discover any trace of the stolen wheel until last Thursday night, when he was notified by Mr. Wm. Pierce, who lives on Green street, that a wheel had been left in his yard last Monday night by a young man and had not been called for. Mr. Pierce gave a description of the wheel and said a young man had ridden up to his house that night, and asked if he might leave his wheel for a short time. Mr. Pierce told him to put it in the yard and it would be all right. As the man failed to call for it the next morning Mr. Pierce put it in the house and -waited for the owner to call. The man failed to show up however, and it is thought he is the same party that took the wheel, but probably got scared and did not dare to call for it. Mr. Rc lfe was asked to call and identify the wheel, which he did to the entire satisfaction of all. Portland 1 heosopliical Society. The two evenings devoted by the Port land Theosophical society to the subject of hypnotism, proved quite inadequate for a full presentation of the subject from a theosophical standpoint. Therefore the president will take for his subject next Sunday at 7.30 p.m., “Sleep and Death.” In the consideration of the different states of consciousness—waking, waking dream ing, natural sleeping, induced or trance sleep, etc.—many points relating to hvp notic states will be brought out.

Henry S. Edwards. Henry S. Edwards was born in Gorham on the 16th day of January, 1820, md died at Ithaca, New York, in the ?arly morning of Decoration day. Henry Edwards kindly, genial nature nevor made an enemy and no one ever ’P°ko unkindly of him.' He was very popular with young people, in whose company much of his time as teacher of music was spent. His pupils had the warmest affection for him, as was evi denced by their many testimonials of words and gifts. Indeed, by his many genial traits lie made himself endeared to all, both old and young, and will ever be held in most affectionate remembrance. At an early ago he chose music for his life work, being impelled thereto as are all the votaries of this divine art, bv the love of melody and sweet concord that was born within his soul. While not, per haps, entitled to rank among the great ones, he was a thorough conscientious musician, enthusiastically devoted to his art, and ever striving to raise its stanoard in the community in which he lived. In his prime, he was a good player of both the piano and organ. As an organist, especially he was considered a master bringing to the interpretation of sacred music a rare quality of tenderness and devotion. His first church organ, was taken at the age of fifteen, and from that time on until he was sixty-seven years old with the exception of three years spent in Europe, he was never without a position as organist. He played the organ in High street church for twenty-two continuous years, and old Dr. Chickering who was pastor of the church during the entire period, used to say the choir and organ were at least half the service. Up until the last year or two of his life his hand retained much of its old cunning, and ho muny hours he spent ut the piano were a source of great solace and comfort to him. The last sad rites were performed at Unity church, Ithaca, on Wednesday afternoon and the interment was in Oak Forest Cemetery. School for the Deaf. Tlio Maine School for the Deaf will close next week and tho children will be sent to their homes to spend the long summer vacation. They have not been homo since Christmas. The children will have a picnic at Long Island next Wednesday General M ana ger Goding of the Casco Bay Steamboat company has kindly offered to take them to the island and bring them back free of charge. Mrs. Julia G. Laughton has resigned her position as housekeeper for the school. Many improvements have been made in the house during the present term. A new refrigerator has been purchased and considerable wainscoting has been put up by the pupils, several of whom have learned to bo excellent carpenters. The school will reopen the middle of Septem ber. The prospect now is that there will be 75 pupils next year, about as many as the house will comfortably accommo date. Tho trustees of the school have not yet been appointed but it is expected tliat they will be designated during the pres ent month. SOUTH PORTLAND.

A hoy stole a bicycle belonging to Mr. Henry Maxey at Kteincrt Sons, on Congress street, and offered it to another boy for if 10. The other boy was pleased to get such a bargain and agreed to pay the money later. He took the wheel and when in front of the Preble house Mr. Maxey happened along and recognized his property. He seized boy and wheel and culled lor the police. A crowed collected but Maxey held the boy. The boy proved his innocence and now the police are look ing for the real thief. SPORTING ODDITIES. ’Twas on Moosehead Lake a hunter and his guide were gliding along in midday in the early days of October looking for signs of the timid deer. In turning a sharp bend the guide saw two deer stand ing within easy gun shot. He stopped the canoe abruptly, gavo it a gentle shake to call the attention of the sportsman to game near by, and by a dexterous move ment lie turned the canoe. The sports man took steady aim and shot one of the deer, hut to his utter amazement the other ono stood his ground and showed no disposition to run. The reason for this proved to be that the remaining deer was blind. Hut the next question to he solved was how this blind deer had managed to travel through the woods. Hits was a hard one, and the solution was not reached until they commenced to skin the deer they had shot, and they round that the tail was wet. This made it perfectly plain that the blind deer had been led around by holding the tail of the more fortunate deer with his mouth. A New York man who has fished the waters of the Rangely lakes and other waters every season for many years past, rays “when the wind is in the east no fish will bite. He says he has noticed it a great many times, and a good many experienced anglers recognize the sigh and govern themselves accordin gly. i On our way home from a walk thorugh the woods we met with, to me, a singu lar incident. The little black and tan dog, Jet, was with us; as we came along down the road a fox barked a few rods away on our left, and my friend inquired, “What’s that” I told him, and asked, “Where is Jet?” Then I gave a long, shrill whistle which the dog knows calls him to me. In a minute my friend nudged mo and pointed down the road. The dog was coming up, and a large fox about six feet behind him! Both came on; the wind was from them toward us, and the fox gaining came abreast of the dog, so that they were neck and neck; each had his tongue out, looking each few seconds one at the other. In this way they came up to within eighteen or twenty feet of us! Neither showed any indications of fear or anger. When they had got almost to us the fox seemed to realize where he was at” and jumped into the bushes and ran; the dog follow ing. Strange to say, they did not go far before the fox seeemd to wait for the dog and they trotted off together! I have several times before suspected Jet of making the acquaintance of foxes; hut this time had positive proof of it. Had it been a rabbit, skunk or a woodchuck things would have been different.—Phil lips Phonograph. Two Friends. Ezra G. Pearson of Kellogg, Iowa, and John B. Kimber of Newport, R.

I gave each a dose of Chamber lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem edy and it gave immediate relief.

FRENCH WEDDING TOILETTE FROM HARPER’S BAZAR Wedding gowns of white satin are al ways effective, for the material shows to the greatest possible advantage in the long train and simple stlye that fashion demands. A particularly smart design from the Maison Coguenheim, Paris, in the current issue of Harper's Bazar, has a long train which is untrimmed, but the front of the_ skirt has two flounces of mousseline de soie headed with three Touches and sprays of orange blossoms at regular intervals. Tho waist is trimmed with a fichu of mousseline de soie which is pointed at the back and is caught on the shoulders into a bow. Between tho folds of the fichu on the front of the waist is a full shirred yoke of mousseline de soie, and on the left shoulder is a spray of orange blossoms. Tho sleeves are laid in three pleats at the top and have mousseline epaulette; at the wrists are ruffles of the mousseline. The collar is of ribbon, with rosettes and an inside ruche of the mousseline. A tulle evil covers the en tire gown and is fastened to the hair un der a wreath of orange blossoms.

Leighton, which has been on trial at Pittsfield this week be fore Judge Foster, was finished Wednes day. The plaintiff sued to recover from his brother Roscoe title to certain real estate consisting of what was considered as a part of the old homestead farm near this village and also the present homestead in the village, of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Leighton. Some years ago the old people conveyed the farm and the village homestead to Eugene and with the understanding that he was to support them took back a life lease. There were at the time encum brances on the property amounting to about $1800. Subsequently Eugene fear ing as he alleges that the property might be taken from him on account of these debts, as a means of protection trans ferred the title to his brother Roscoe who agreed to reconvey it at some future time. Roscoe does not deny his agreement to reconvey, but claims that the terms of the contract between Eugene and their parents were broken, because Eugene’s wife, whom he married after the making of the contract with the old people, did not treat them as she should. Roscoe sold a portion of the farm prop erty to the town last year, for more than sufficient to satisfy the debts, which he paid, retaining the excess to himself, and this Eugene seeks to recover also. The judge reserved his decision which will be made public within a week. Forrest Goodwin, Esq., of Skowhegan appeared as counsel for plaintiff, Drummond Drummond of Portland and E. N. Mer rill. Esq., for defendant. THE MUNICIPAL COURT. BEFORE JUDGE ROBINSON. Friday—Michael J. McGinn. Intoxica tion thirty days in the county jail and $5 and costs. William L. Irving.

MAYOR DAVIS’ CAUSTIC COMMENT ON THE SAME. Another Spicy Meeting of the City Coun cil of Fortin ml's Next Neighbor—Mayor Vetoes Forest Avenue Sewer Bill. Dcering city fathers held a meeting last night and as might have been expected by the big crowd present there was plenty of amusement for all hands and a little left over for those who were not in at tendance. Judge Hopkins of the Deering muni cipal court was ordered at a recent meet ing of the city council to submit to that body a report on the cases tried before him and the fines collected. This order was introduced by Alderman Gowen and was based upon an act of the legislature which unbeknown to the gentleman from Stroud water had been repealed at the last legislature. Alderman Gowen’s order passed the city council at the meeting where it was introduced and the city clerk notified Judge Hokpins of the action of the board. Last night during the meeting ot the city council Alderman Ayers stated that he understood the mayor had in his pos session a communication from Judge Hopkins which he desired should be read. In accordance with Alderman Ayer’s request Mayor Davis ordered City Clerk Jones to read the following communica tion: Deering, June 2, 1897. To the city council: I acknowledge the receipt of a reoord of vote passed by you requesting me to make a report of cases tried, lines re ceived, etc., in the municipal court in accordance with a section of the revised statutes. In reply I would respectfully observe that the alderman at whose request the vote was passed is to be highly commend ed for bringing the subject to your atten tion. He well knew that such a report as he called for would be a useless form ality, for the reason that the common council has no jurisdiction over fines, or costs, in the municipal court, that the accounts are audited by the county com missioners, and that the city council has no more use for a report of the cases in that court than it has for a slice of the Pope’s toe. Nevertheless such was the devotion of tie aldermen to a supposed abstract provision of law that he felt it incumbent upon himself to set in motion the muni cipal mill to grind out nothing. To be^sure it somewhat detracts from the merits of the alderman that he did not initiate the proceedings of his own volition but was instigated there to by another whose name he does not give, (is he ashamed of it?) and whom wc shall accordingly call the great unknown. Nevertheless he is to be congratulated that while it may diminish his glory, it adds to his good fortune that he’ has among his con stitutents some one who possesses the knowledge to instruct others how they ought to perform their dutie3, the time to devote with unremitting as siduity to that instruction, and the noble courage to point out the plain require ments of the statutes to the officials of Deering who are so profoundly ignorant as to imagine that they are expected to perform their duties according to their own best judgment, and not according to his dictation, and so foolish as to sus pect that sometimes others may be right and he wrong. Happy alderman, in having by his side such a mentor! Unalloyed happiness, however, is never found in this vain and transitory world. "VI _.... Lwv 1- VTM_3.1_ are, and are known, they are apt to be looked upon with contempt and when they are not known, the consequence of their egotistic incapacity falls upon those who are simple enough to be led by them. A horrible suspicion arises that in the present case the unknown mentor has made a sad blunder and placed the alderman in a ridiculous situation. The reason is that a careful examina tion of the statutes fails to disclose any provision which makes it obligatory upon me to make any report to the city coun cil. There was an old provision in the statutes of 1883, which required such a report, but Freeman’s supplement gives it as eliminated I have consulted some of the best lawyers in the city and they advise me that it is not now in force. Perhaps I ought to rest content with this advice but it carries the necessary conclusion that this great unknown did not know what he was about. Of course being a great unknown we do not know where he is at. This conclusion has placed me on the ragged edge of anxiety. Two alternative seem to be present and only two. The first is that the old section which we have all considered repealed may still be in force. But this does not seem possible. The second is that the great unknown does not possess sufficient capacity to dis tinguish between a statute which has been repealed and one still in force. This I am equally unwilling to believe. Some of our public spirited citizens have from time to time felt it to be their genial duty in a genial and kindly manner to expose the errors wThich have pervaded our municipal affairs and the incapacity of most of our municipal officers. Sup pose one of these kindly critics should prove to be the great unknown? What confidence can we have in his criticism hereafter? Nay, even we may suspect that some of his past statements that certain of our officers have not followed the plain requirements of the statutes, may not be true. In order to settle these doubts I suggest that you request the alderman who start ed the procession to give the name of the great unknown, or all of them if there is more than one and ask him to point out the precise section he referred to as im posing upon the judge of tho municipal court the duty of making reports to the city council. Very respectfully, GEO. C. HOPKINS, Judge of the Municipal Court. Judge Hopkins’s letter created a great sensation and was interrupted throughout bv the “audible smiles” of the spectators. The “great unknown” as referred to by Judge Hopkins was understood to be Mr. L. B. Chapman, editor of the Deering News, and this gentleman’s presence in the chamber while the letter was being read added to the sensation the judge's communication occasioned. At the conclusion of the clerk’s reading it was voted to place the letter on tile. Alderman Gowen then took the floor and asked if the communication was in the hand writing of Judge Hopkins. The city clerk replied that it was not but that the document hud been type written and was signed by Judge Hop kins. Alderman Goweu stated that he thought it was singular if a letter from Judge Hopkins could be so easily read, and as Judge Hopkin’s writing is said to be very hai-d to decipher this statement raised, a laugh. g‘Alderman Gowen continuing said: “I never met Judge Hopkins in my lifo and have never seen him, but a few times, but judging from what I know of him and what I have heard he never could have written that docupient alone and must have had help in preparing it as it is too heavy for him. This affair reminds me of the Irishman who went to a circus and when lie had stepped inside the tent felt something linking him in the back. He paid no attention to it and finally a friend of his said: ‘Pat why don’t you look to see what is hitting youi’ “Pat looked around and saw that it was a little long eared jackass. He then said to his friend: ‘A beast like that is too insignificant to notice.’ Alderman Gowen sat down amidst laughter from the audience and Mayor Davis offered a word of explanation. He said: “I desire to state that this communica tion which has just been read was handed me at the last meeting, but I declined to read it for the following reasons: First, I desire that no alderman shall be insulted while I am presiding over the delibera tions of this body, and I consider this document to be too disrespectful and in sulting to be read here. When a man sends a document to me that is couched in fairly decent language I shall read it, but such a letter as that I do not consider either decent or respectful and therefore I declined to read it to you. “If this letter bespeaks the nature of the man who wrote it, it is my opinion that one has reason to doubt of his ability to judge a dog fight’’ And while the spectators were con vulsed the Mayor’s reference to Judge Hopkins judicial ability, Alderman Gow en asked that the council retire to the committee room for a discussion of “cer tain matters’ and for three-quarters of an hour Deering’s city fathers debated behind closed doors while the spectators impatiently awaited to see what the next act in "the comedy would be. But after long deliberation the alderman filed out into the council chamber again and adjourned without taking any further action in the matter. MAYOR DAVIS VETOES AN ORDER. Another interesting feature of last night’s meeting was the veto by the may or of the order passed at the last meeting authorizing the construction of the For est avenue and Majile street sewers. Mayor Davis called Alderman Ayers to the chair and takin g the floor read the following message: Deering, June 10, 1897. Gentlemen:—I must for the following reasons return your bill for the construc tion/of the Forest avenue and Maple street sewers without my endorsement. First—I do not consider it the best way to sewer this territory. Second—There were fifty remonstrants to twenty-five petitioners and many of these were in favor of the Oak street plan, but prefered this way to nothing. Third—1 do not think the $2(300 offered by the Water company an amount any where near equal to the extra expense the city will have to go to in order to make the trench wide enough to take their pipe, Fourth—I agree with the engineer that it is not good judgment to lay sewer and water pipes in the same trench for the reasons set forth at a hearing on this matter by the engineer. HENRY P. DAVIS, Mayor. Alderman Ayers—“The question now before the board is whether or not this order shall be passed over the veto. The clerk will call the roll.’’ The vote resulted in six ayes and one no, and the order was passed over the mayor’s veto. The vote was as follows: Yes—Cobb, Cram, Seal, Ayers, Mat thews and Lane. No—Gowen. OTHER BUSINESS TRNSACTED. A contract between the committee on water and the Standish Water company was read and approved by the board of aldermen. It provides among other things that the Standish Water company shall lay and maintain 32,260 feet of six inch pipe and also set up thirty hydrants to be maintained by the water company for fifteen years. The water company agrees to furnish water for the extinguishment of fires for fifteen years for *39 per hy drant and after fifteen years forever with out cost to the city. The water company also agrees to maintain the extension of the water main on Cobb lane for the Cobb lane school house for $50 a year for fifteen years after which the water shall be free. The company further agrees to lay its pipes before October 1, 1897, with the exception of about a mile in certain. lcalities where an extentsion of one year may be asked for. These are only some of the clauses in the contract. The document itself was very lengthy and its provisions have nearly all been embodied in the offers of the Standish Water company to the city of Deering, full reports of which have been published heretofore. The mayor announced that the amount of premium on the bond issue of $20,000 was $1350. This amount was, on motion of Alderman Ayer transferred to the interest account. The mayor appointed Alderman Cobb, Seal and Matthews as a committee to destroy the bonds and coupons paid last year. Angello Lorello petitioned for a brick sidewalk on Stevens Plains avenue and the petition was referred. The orders authoring the purchase of a hose wagon for $450 and a pair of horses for $350 had their second reading and final passage. Alderman Cobb introduced an order au thorizing the committee on lights and water to contract with the Electric Light company for fifty additional arc lights to be distributed, seven in each ward.The order passed to its second reading. Alderman Cram called up the order authorizing the committee; on public works to purchase a steam crusher and electric motor; at a cost not exceeding $1000. This order occasioned considerable discussion. Alderman 'Gowen said he was in favor of the city’s purchasing a stone crusher, but he wanted to know what arrangements had been made for furnishing the power with which to oper new vigor in our physical systems.
