What Will Save Us.
IRev. W. H. II. Murroy.I


Ifaman cheat here, is he to be for
given for his cheating hereafter? Can
he go on lying and stealing, and be
forgiven for that lying? Can he be
bigoted, and cruel, and unjust, and be
absolved frouEthe penalty 10y and by ?
Where is the cord 10 be drawn :?
Where is the line to be snapped?
Here; where's h )nesty, uprightness,
virtue, temperanceahd godliness are.
Sentiment will not answer the de-
mands Of the hour. 1T has already
been o~verdone in pulpit and prayer
meeting alike. Emotion will not
answer the demand. \ thief and
forger may have exquisite sensibhity.
Theological soundness will not
answer; bigots make excellent theo-
losians- Polite culture will not
answer; some of the biggest scoun-
drels in the country have been mel
of liberal culture. The only thing that
can save Us is real actual godliness of
CHARACTER; is old-fashfoned, time hon
ored uprightness of conduct.

DEATH OF Hon. JOB PRNcE.-Hon. Job
Prince of Turner whose death was announced
saturday, had been in his usual health during
the past year up to week ago last Saturday
tAprll l7th) when he contracted a severe cold
which resulted in pneumonia. He was born in
Buckheld. March H. 1875, and received an AGA
demlc education. When nineteen years old he
served short time in the state militia in the
war OF 1872. His natural ability, executive
capacity and integrity early made him promi-
nent among his fellow townsmen, and he was
early one of the most active democratic leaders
in town and county. In 1882 he was elected to
the state legislature from Turner; and in 1888
and 1889, and again in 1858, to the state senate
from the Oxford district. In 1889 he was chosen
President of the senate, in which position he
won high honor. He was made Judge of Pro-
bate of Oxford county in 1886 and continued in
that position till 1854. In 1868 he was Assistant
Assessor of Internal Revenue. He was one OF
the first to enter the ranks of the Republican
party in the state to which he was ever after
devoted In his death the Universalist denoml-

An audience composed largely of ladies, WIN

who had not gone Maying, gathered SATURDAY

cert given by Miss Annie Cary, Miss Lisa
Norton, Messrs. Barnabee, Stockbridge ana

fully, and in the next song, SIN Days of Old ,
Barnabee convulsed the audience. sing
Sweet Bird was beautifully rendered by MISS
Norton, whose clear voice is excellentlY aoap'.
ed for this class of music, and who was encoreu
but merely bowed in response. Miss Gary was
warmly welcomed On her appearance IN the
duet '.Nay bid me not resign Love-, and MI.
Stockbridge showed in the song, 1.-THE khlne
Maidens," the sweetness and perfect training o.
his voice. In the ballads "The Day is Done

Gov. DINGLEY'S WTTHDRAWAL-As our Dem
ocratic exchanges are keeping up din to the
effect that Gov. Dingley was compelled by
party friends to withdraw as a gubernational
candidate. Let us rest the case by taking the
statement of the Lewiston Journal, Gov.
Dingley's paper, in reference to that point:
Some of the Democratic papers represent
that Gov. Dingley was persuaded to decline a
third nomination for Governor, "by the efforts
of Republican leaders who feared that his la
bors in favor of equal taxation and economy
would reduce the Republican majority" &c.
sc. This is SO contraryito Gov. Dingley's own
statements in his letter of declinatiOn, and so
contrary to the unprecedentedly unanimous
declaration of the Republican papers, that it is
a duty which we owc 10 our readers to present
extracts of those expressions. We we'll know
that Governor Dingley made up his mind inn
mediately after his reelection by an increased
and unusually large majority last fall, that be
would not be candidate for third term; and
that he so informed members of the Republican
State Committee and other friends.
The reasons given by him for desiring to
retire related solely to business and family con-
siderations for he never had any doubt that a
third nomination would be accorded him by
reclamation, if he desired, and that third
election by an overwhelming majority would
follow. No Republican leader or friend ever
suggested that it was desirable for him to with
draw, or ever intimated that his withdrawal
would improve the prospects of the Republican
party On the contrary there was very gen.
eral desire that he would consent to run third
time, and very general expression that his
majority would be larger than ever Whatever
opposition might have grown up against the
Governor on account of his efforts for equal
taxation and economy, was toe trifing to be
taken notice of, and would have strengthened
rather than weakened him. Certain it Is, that
if apy movements in the Republican party bad
been discovered to prevent the third nomination
and third election of Governor Dngley, he
would have been a candidate again-notwith-
standing his personal feelings and interests
were ali on the side Of withdrawal.

FIRE AT THE CAPE.-The people in the vi
cinity of the Buzzeil farm in Cape Elizabeth
had narrow escape from a destructive fire
Saturday morning. A number of boys from
The city had built fires at different places over
the farm, and they spread until for acres
around the whole field was one sheet of flames.
The neighbors turned out tc fight the flames.
Word was sent to Knightville and large force
of men came to aid the farmers in their strug
gle with the fire. After long fight the fire
was extinguished. But strange to say the
same boys set more fires and the people were
again called out to protect their buildings from
destruction. This time the fight was more
severe and when the fire was extinguished the
men, women and children were fairly ex-
hausted One mau had his coat fairly burned
from his back and several had their clothes
more or less burned.
The citizens are greatly incensed at the ac-
ton of men and boys who go from here to the
Cape to set fires and play mischief generally.
They have applied for the arrest of three boys
residing in this city for setting the fires Satur
day, and they will probably be arrested this
morning. They say that number of the visit
rs from here aided them in extinguishing the
fire, while the majority fled to pick May flow

midnight, gentleman who happened to be on
Commercial street, found woman lying on
the railroad track. She told him she had fallen
and broken her leg The gentleman offered to
take her to the police station where she could
have medical attendance. She thanked him,
and he started in search of hack. He found
carriage and paid the driver a dollar to take
the woman to the station. The backman drove
to the place where the woman was, and after
some trouble succeeded in getting her into the
hack and drove to the station. With the as
sistance of one of the deputies the woman was
carried into one of the lodging rooms. She APP
pc ared to be suffering terribly. Soon after she
was placed in the room a loud noise was heard,
and the off GERS in charge discoved that she
was smashing the glass out of the windows in
the room. She had no broken leg; she wasn't
drunk and didn't appear to be crazy, and when

arrangement to pool earnings.-We have excel
lent authority for stating that the directors of
the Eastern and Boston & Maine Railroads
have agreed upon plan for the ''pooling" Of
the earnings of all the traffic which they respec-
lively receive from the Maine Central, and
dividin. the same between the two companies
equally. This matter is important to the public
because it will remove the causes which are
likely to ncte railroad war in the legislature
and delay aud annoyance to shippers at this
point and elsewhere. The same authority attri-
butes the appreciation of Eastern stock during
the past ten days to the fact that this arrange
ment was contemplated.

A New Opera.

Mrs. Durham of Stevens Plains has written
an opera entitled Margaret, which will be
brought out at the Universalist church in that
village on Tuesday evening next. The follow
ing is the argument:
Henry Talbot, son of an English Earl, falls
in love with rector's daughter. His father
objects. Result, secret marriage and self
exile to retirement among the Alpine hills
There they live two years without communlca-
ton with England. Then the wife dies and
soon after the father, leaving an orphan daugh-
ter named Margaret She is adopted by Swiss
peasant and his wife, and reared and cherished.
Fifteen years pass and party of English hunt
ers happen in the region. One OF them, Lord
Howard, meets Margaret by accident and is
charmed with her beauty, and only leaves the
country when she has promised to be his WIFE,
In four years he will return aud marry her.
The greater part of this time he spends on the
continent, not visiting England until near the
expiration of the four years. Before this time,
Margaret's grandfather has died and ner faith
er's brother, who appears to be an exception to
most elder brothers of noblemen, sets himself
to the task of finding his younger brother in
order that he may divide the estates with him
and assure him of his fathers forgiveness.
After long search he traces him to Switzerland
and in time finds Margaret, whom he takes to
knows nothing of this. The change that
knowledge of her station In life and the advan-
tage of culture brings about is SO great that
Lord Howard, though he frequently meets with
his betrothed, does not recognize her, though
apparently considerably charmed by her. Her
health failing she is sent back to the Alps. The
young Lord follows after brief period, to full
fill his promise. He is astonlshed to find in
his Swiss peasant girl the Lady Margaret he
had met 10 England. Lord Chelmsford is a
friend of Lord Howard, who was with him in
the Alps and was first made aware of his love
for Lady Emily, Lord Towards sister, when
she came near being killed by an avalanche
