THE EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN
RAILRoAD.-Senator Hamlin presented We'd
nesday a memorial from the American and
European Railway Company, urging Congress
to pay the 1912 war claims of Massachusetts
and Maine, which has been made over to

has given to other railroads in other parts Of
the country. They state that their road will
shorten the ocean passage to Liverpool by one
quarter, and will hasten the annexation OF all
the British Provinces to the United States.

CANINE PLucK-A little boy enticsd large
on Congress street yesterday morning, think
ing he might be able to keep him. Having
succeeded in getting the dog into the store, the
boy closed all means of egress and proceeded
to play with his canine friend. After while
the dog got tired of the sport and concluded to
leave, and when he found there was no chance
of his getting out in the usual manner he
plunged through the large glass show window,
scattering oranges and figs in every direction.
We guess that boy won't try to keep dog
against his will again.

The VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION at
Petersburg which in the first day broke up i'm
row got together again yesterday, when
there was more excitement. A colored Ser
geant-at-Arms was appointed against whom
white man levelled his pistol while attempting
to make an arrest The latter was taken in
charge of by the police. A motion to ask the
Mayor TO withdraw the police force was de-
feated, but that officer shortly after withdrew
the police force from the hall. The nomina-
tions were gone into, and resulted as follows:
For Governor, HI. II. Wells; for Lieut. Gov,
DR.. d. H. Harris, colored; for Attorney Gen.,
Thomas r. Rowden; for Congressman at large,
A. NJ. Crane. A series of very radical resolu-
tions was then adopted. In the evening a col
ored man was ordered out of Jarret's Hotel,
and refusing to go excepting by force was ar
rested by the police. The Mayor in the morn
ing discharged the prisoner, but decided that
the hotels in the city, understood to be kept
open foriwhites, should not be int1Nded on by
colored people who are not registered guests
and had no right therein. -.-..-..

A SUGGEsTIoN.-We have been asked by
quite number why some of our societies, such
as the Mercantile Library Association or Grand
Army of the Republic, do not engage the Rich
ings English Opera Company, which drew
such good audiences in this city three or four
years ago. to come here again, and devote the
profits to their society funds. We think the
suggestion good one, for if any entertain
mont could draw q full house in Portland or
should do SO, it is this English opera company.
We hope some of them win try the expert
ment, and as the company is at present play
ing in Boston, they might come here after
their engagement in that city was ended

THERE is no remedy against ex-President
johnson for having carried off the records and
papers of the Executive Office, as they are held
to be private property. Mr.. Lincoln had no
record made of what was done at the White
House during his administration. The pur-
pose of johnson in carrying away the papers
Is said to be the qualification of his personal
spite against certain individuals by publishing
flattering letters written to him by them dur
ing the early days OF his administration.

GOOD FOR STEwART.-For the past few
days A. 7. Stewart has been as prominent in
the newspaper world as he ever was in COM
merce, and the last thing about him is fine
best The New York Sun STATES that he pro-
poses to erect homes for the working men and
women Of New York, and ground has al
ready been broken for the foundation OF one of
these institutions. 1t is to be erected ON
Fourth avenue between Thirty-second and
Thirty-third streets. This spot has been clear
ed of all old buildings, and for a week past,
men have been at work digging out old stones
and cellars, preparatory to the work for the
new structure. The ground contains % lots,
for which Mr.. Stewart paid about $4,000
apiece two years ago, and extends the whole
distance between Thirty second and Thirty
third streets, 1893 feet, running back 205 feet. I
On this square a magnificent building is to be
raised, iron, fire-proot, seven stories high, and
intellectually finer than any other structure
in the city. This will be the working women's
hotel. Here sewing girls, female clerks,
Woodworking women Of every trade, are to be
provided with board and room for the smallest
possible sum, and the house is to be managed
in the best manner. The ground floor may be
let out for stores, the proceeds to be applied to
the building of other similar institutions. The
entire cost of the hotel will be about. $2 00Q,00O.
The edifice will not be completed in less than
two years. 1t is understood that Mr.. Stewart
also proposes to put up, in time, working
mems hotel on the same plan. We much
fear that this is one of the Suns clever hoaxes.

IT is POSSIBLE that few sickly sentimental
lists, INDUCING their girlish misgivngs, may
have thought of Harris last night and specu-
lated whether he would sleep soundly and
whether he felt terrible apprehension of the
fate that awaits him to-day. They were very
wrong to do SO, of course, for they ought
rather to rejoice in the agonies of the black
demon, whose strangulation makes retro
gression of more than third of century in
the judicial policy of the State. They ought to
exult in the torments of one who, though hay
ing something less than the natural moral in
stincts of Newfoundland dog, with less than
dogs training, and having been disabled for
further mischief, is justly subject to the right
eous retribution that has overtaken him. The
black cap over his head, the tightening OF the
rope around his neck and the possible though
not very probable dislocation of his cervical
vertebr@ will be unpleasant to him, though net
at all necessary to restrain him from harming
any more people; but only think what an i'm

THE DOCTORS AND ALCOHOL.
At the recent monthly meeting of the An
droscoggin County Medical Association, the
doctors had the following topic under discus
sion:-"Resolued, That in alcoholic stmulants
we recognize valuable therapeutic agent, and
in certain pathological conditions know of no
substitute for it," There were some fifteen or
twenty doctors present. They all endorsed
the resolution, but did not agree as to what
extent alcohol should be used. They believed
that small quantity did not retard, but was
promotive of digestion.
TEMPERANCE MEETINGS.
The temperance meetings which were inau-
gurated in this city during the early part of
the winter, still continue, with little or no ap-
parent abatement of interest. Mr.. Richard
Dresser, agent of the County Alliance, reports
great degree of apathy in the other towns of
the county This. take it, is due to the fact
that the temperance battle has been fought
out in this county, and won by the temper
ance men. Public opinion is all right. and SO
are the votes. Hence, as usual, it does not
prove very animating labor to fight where
there is no opposition, open or covert.
RELIGIOUS MEETINGS.
Rev. M. J. Steere. pastor of the Universal
list society in this city, is delivering course of
Sunday evening lectures. Mr.. Steere was for
merly Free Baptist clergyman. In these
lectures he gives, for the first time, his pscu-
liar experiences, with the reasons9or the faith
large from the commencement, and every
night many have been unable to gain adms-
sion to the church. The doctrinal addresses
delivered during tAe winter, in Auburn Hall,
by Rev. Mr.. Snow, paster of the Universalist
Society in Auburn, also drew audiences larger
than could be accommodated. The religious
feeling among all denominations is quite fer
vent. Rev. Mr.. Earle, the reviyalist preacher,
is expected to hold first meeting at Park
street church this evening.
