These tablos ahow that the children who havo
bank-aocounts have saved on IN average, $3.50.
The schools have given thom this, besides tue
ordinary education and besides the extraordinary
education IN the habit Of saving. The latter is
the groat need Of the poor. They aro oompara-
lively moro extravagant than the rloh. Waste
soon becomes second nature, unless checked
early In life. The tablea given show that 1t ia
among tho poor children in the ordinary prt-
mary schools that the systom has worked boat.
The infant pupils arc too young aud too unable
to learn anything to save much the children OF

MATTERS IN MAINE.
The Reed Murder TriaI.

BANGOR, March 19.-The testimony intro
duced in the Reed murder trial the past TWO
days does not vary much from the evidence in
former trials. Several witnesses testified that
the road from Midway Village up river was
wet at all seasons.
The prisoner, Elbridge w. Reed, was put on
the stand and testified that the day Of the MUIR
der be was digging potatoes; was not at Rays
house that night; never told Mrs. Ray he killed
her husband did not kill Ray; had nothing to
do with burying him. After supper on the eve
ming Ray was missing went to Fisk's after
bunch of shingles; took them on my shoulder
and in getting over the bars fell; carried shin
giles to parsons Louse; then went to the hotel
and then home; got home at 7.35; went to bed
early and did not get up again that night. The
next morning went to Hathaway's after horse
collar The road was muddy. Never borrow
ed canoe of Cram to 90 to the Island. Had no
cattle on the Island Never had cross word
with Ray. The prisoner made good appear
ance on the stand and sustained unmoved,
searching cross examination by the Attorney
General. Several other witnesses were intro
duced by the defence to confirm former testi-
mopy, and the case for the defence was rested.
Some rebutting testimony was then introduced
by the government. Mrs. Severance, widow of
the murdered man Ray. who has since married,
was placed on the stand again and testified she
was afraid to testify to the truth at the first
trial was advised not to. The Attorney Cen
eral here offered to prove by witnesses that
she was deferred from testfying to the truth
on the first trial by defendants counsel but the
Court excluded it. Some more unimportant
evidence was offered and it was announced that
the testimony was all in.
The Temperance Movement
The ladies connected with the new temper
apce movement met to-day and organized and
adopted series of resolutions calling on the
city government to conine the doings of the
city liquor agency strictly to the letter of the
law or to abolish it altogether, and also asking
that the prohibitory law be strictly enforced in
the city. IT this is not done they say they will
resort to prayer as has been done in the west.
