The Maine Standard, speaking of the remov-
al of the negro, Harris to Thomaston, STYLES
him 'this successful and highly popular muir
derer." The Arg us quotes this neat hit at the
condemned man, and it will undoubtedly 90
the rounds of the Democratic press. What
would the Standard and Argus have? Are
they not satisfied that he has been tried, con
victed and sentenced to undergo the death
penalty?a Do they consider the fact that he
has not been lynched an evidence of poDullr-
ty? Do they want him crucifed or burnt at
the stake in the summary manner formerly in
vogue in the South? The malignity of the re-
pudiators toward the black race is DISGRACE
to our common humanity. In this case, a ne
gro, who has committed an atrocious crime,
has been dealt with according to the strictest
requirements of the law No disposition to
treat him with any degree Of Partially has
been manifested. "That black demon" as
Verrill's counselstyed him, has received as lit
tie sympathy as any criminal who has ever
been arraigned before court ofjustice. He
deserved none and received none. We remem-
Der white criminals however who have been
at the same time successful" and popular. ,
The Standard also no doubt remembers the
facts, but does not remember to comment upon
them. How about 'Neddy Mcclure" of Bow
doinham fame? He and his associates were
favorites with the ladies of Augusta, and the
ladies of Bath begged the honor of an intro
auction after their conviction. So fragrant an
outrage upon decercy as this invited comment,
but the oracles were silent Ai

NORWICH UNIVERSITY. Norwich Universe
ty is the Oldest milittry school in the country
except West Point. It was established in
1919 by Capt. Alden Partridge, who afterwards
removed it to Middletown, Connecticut, where
after few years it was discontinued In 1884
it was revived and Incorporated by the Leqis-
latnre of Vermont and continued in success
full operation till the building was unfortu-
nately destroyed by fire in 1866. An effort
was made to re-establsh it at Norwich without
success but under the patronage of the Epis-
copal Church it is now in a hourishing condi-
tion at Northfeld. In accordance with an act
of Congress an army officer has been detailed
by the President to act as its head. The Uni
versity in its new location and the new rela-
tons which surround it, seems destined to en-
ter upon successful career of usefulness,
combining in its instructions military and col
legiate studies, giving thorough physical
training and at the same time giving q com
plete college education. I'D

Burglars i'm Waterford.

Q Mr.. EDIroR,-The pleasant town of Wa
terford, usually so quiet, was Friday night Wis
ted by burglars, who made an attempt to
open the safe of O'Neil w. Robinson, ESQ.,, To-
Gated in his office. The individuals who hon
orcd his office with their presence, after blow
ing the paddock from the safe, made further in
effectual attempts with gunpowder upon the
main lock. Suspicion rests upon two individ-
uals who begged a ride of Mr.. Emery OF Wind
ham, while he was passing the woods in Ray
mond, on his way to Waterford for his wife
and mother, who have been stopping at the
Water Cure in that town. Mr.. Emery reports
that one of them stated he was going to Swe-
den, the other remarkng he was going
wherever his comrade went. They had with
them valise, apparently quite heavy, and
when they got from the carriage a large Ratchet
fell from under the buttonedup coat of one of
them, much to his chagrin. Mr. Emery states
their age at twenty two to Twenty-Five

T. The ALABAMA CLAIMs.-The Washington
correspondent Of the New York Tribune re-
wives the story that our government has been
negotiating with England, with view to the
annexation of British Columbia in settlement
of the Alabama claims He says: n'snc-~
1t was mentioned in these dispatches some
two OF three weeks ago that negotiations were
going on which bid fair to result in a settle.
ment with England of the Alabama claims
and the acquisition on our part of the British
possessions on the Pacific coast intervening
between our present territory and the lands
recently acquired by treaty with Russia. The
truth of this report was contradicted by one on
more Washington correspondents. nv origin
al statement was substantially correct. and
there is now authority for the announcements
that this attempt at settlement has failed. and
is abandoned for the present The matter did
not assume the severity of formal diplomatic
correspondence, however, but was the subject
of Informal conferences, to discover if there
was encouragement sufficient to warrant the
opening of official correspondence between
the representatives of the United States and
Great Britain. At first it appeared as though
some satisfactory agreement might be conclud-
cd, but eventuallyi it was deemed impractical.

"Dixon" telegraphs to the Boston Advertis-
err that it has been authoritatively ascertained
that in January last Macmillan attempted to
make formal proposition, through our gov
eminent to retire from Mexico for the purpose
of allowing the Mexican people to decide the
question of the permanency of the Empire in
their own way. He proposed to place himself
on board man-of-war pending the settlement
and added that the question was virtually set
tied then, as three-fourths of the country was
occupied by liberals. Bazaine, the french
marshal, assumed neutral position regarding
Maxmilian's position, but promised TO noid
his troops off during the canvass or election ne
expected would follow from its acceptance
Mr.. Seward declined to entertain the PROPOSE
ton, because he did not recognize the author
ity claimed by the Emperor's agent to repre-
sent any portion of the Mexican people.

JUPITER WITHOUT HIS SATELLITEs.-A rare
phenomenon will soon occur in our solar system
if the calculations of scientific men be not at
fault. Through telescopes of moderate power
the planet Jupiter will appear moonless. This
ia ON occurrence very seldom to be observed,
having been last witnessed September u.
1919 and previous TO that in iS26. tt is said
tbe disappearance of the four moons which
usually circle round this planet is caused by
their passage across its disc. The scientific
problem is as follows: During six hours on
the evening of August 81 there will be eight
variations of the whole phenomenon, namely:
the disappearance and the reappearance of
the four satellites. Jupiter will rise at 1880,
about the time the sun SETS. AT 7:44, Green
witch time, the shadow Of the third satellite is
cast upon the planet, and at s: % the satellite
itself passes ON the disc. This phenomenon will
not be visible, as the sun will not be low
enough at that time. The second satellite VIII
pass into the planets shadow and disappear al
.: 10; at 9:2S the fourth satellite will disappear
At9.7 the shadow of the first sateihte VIII
be seen, and at 10: OF g: % POrtlandf time) IL
will pass upon the planets disc. AT TINS hour
the planet, when viewed through telescopes OF
moderate power, will appear to De without sat
elites. but through large telescopes three sat
elites on the planets disc and their shadows
NAV be seen At 11:23 the shadow of the
third satellite passes off the disc and the sat
elite itself at twenty-sx minutes after. The
second satellite reappears at 70: ID, and at
1898 the first. At 12: 80 the shadow of the
fourth satellite passes off, and at 1 "a the
planet itself. Thus for an hour and quarter,
commencing at 10 O'clock and four minutes on
that evening, the planet will appear to be un-
attended by its satellites. AT IL: % they will
begin to reappear, and at j: 81 Jupiter will
have his four unshaded, nnmstakable moons.

TO the Editor Of the Press:
Your correspondents ~" in Saturday s Press,
thinks 1T singular that the Street Committee
should nave been made defendants to the bill
IN equity, theard before Judge Tapley on Fri
day. instead of the City Government and ac-
counts for it by the fact that the Committee
had usurped the powers of the CITY Council.
This is true enough, but the reason for max.
ing the Committee defendants was, that the
bill was filed to prevent the payment of money
from the City Treasury to the contractors, and
it was only necessary to enjoin those officials
authorized to take money from the Treasury
for that purpose.
But there was propriety in not making the
City party defendant for another reason
Ihey would with more propriety have been
made plaintiffs. If the City Council had en-
tered into this contract understandingly, the
bill never would have been filed, whether the
Committee were legally authorized to contract
or MOTOR the reason that the City Council
could at any time ratify the contract, or make
new one to carry out the same purpose
But the plaintiffs proceeded upon the ground
that the City Council, when they directed the
Street Committee to contract for the grading
of Congress street, did not know that this
| grade was established; that they believed that
an entirely different grade was established
that they had no intention of cutting through
the Promenade; that the profile which
would have explained the whole thing
was never exhibited to them; that they were
surprised and tricked into doing a thing
that they never wished to do, and for which
they now express their regret. Many of the
members of the City Council would have
signed this bill were it not for the delicacy o.
their position. 4eA H"
| The Street Committee have always claimed
that the Council knew what they were about
when they directed this contract to be made
Ii SO. all this difficulty can be settled at once
The Council meet might If they wish to
sustain the Committee, all that they have te
do is to ratify the contract by appropriating q
sum of money to carry it through, or authoriz
ing certain part of the amount already ap-
propriated for streets to be used for that pur.
pose.
Judge Tapley gives his decision tomorrow
IF the action of the Committee is sustained by
the City Council, we do not imagine that th,
prayer of the petitioners will be granted.
