Another REDUCTION Proposed.

Mr.. EDrToR.-In noticing the article in Fri
days PRESS "Where to save money" it occur
red to me that something might be done to
lessen the expenses of our Aims House, which
are now most exorbitant, nearly double what
they were ten years ago, and not as many in
the house as then. In salaries, the keeper and
wife receive $500 per year, beside rent and hv-
ing, some $500 more than was paid ten years
ago, and the duties are no more arduous, if as
much. The clerk and treasurer of the board s
salary was raised last year to $500, and three
dollars and expenses per day beside when out
of the city on duty, giving him some $500 per
year for small amount of labor performed, as
the board now only meet twice a week, and
that only one hour at time. Former ly the
board met one hour every day. Sundays except
ed, and then the clerk had but $100 per year,
and no pay for extra services. The members
believed it duty that each in turn should per
form these obligations, and think it was done
up to last year.
Again. saving might be made in the ex-
penses of medicines 10 former years propo-
sails were issued to the apothecaries to furnish
the medicines for the year, and in this way
they were purchased at less than half of what
is now paid for them to member of the board
who supplies them, and so in many other re-
spects the expenses of the house may be made
very much less, and at the same time every
thing be kept in as god trim as in the yeaI

Enforcement of the Ltauor Law.


AS there has been some doubt as to what
is me ant in the new liquor law by the words
previous conviction" reporter called npon
County Attorney Libby yesterday, and asked
his Interpretation of the new law. Mr.. Libby
SAID that convictions made before this law
went into effect will count the same as though
made since the law went into effect. All cases
commenced since the new law, on parties who
nave been formerly convicted will be for second
offence. He says that the offence has not
changed in the last butthe penalty has been
simply increased by the new law. 1t is said
that some of our lawyers take exceptions to this
Interpretation, and they have already signifed
their intention of testing it in court should
occasion require.
1t is also claimed that there is flaw in the
new law whereby the vender of wine is exempt
The point claimed is that the new law specifies
what amendment is made in Section %, 90. "a,
but does not specify the amendment in Section
% which is as follows
Sec. 25-The provisions of this chapter shall
not extend to the manufacture and sale of
unadulterated elders in any case nor to wine
made from fruit grown in this state nor to the
sale by agents appointed under the provisions
Va sA'o >LoPoCA VI pulo hlHC 1ul
and medicinal use.
This is the original section and it was not
specifically amended nor repealed, but it is said
by this County Attorney that the last section
of the new law repeats it. 1t is as follows:
Sec. Gall acts or parts of acts inconsistent
with this act are hereby repealed.
ls is said that the new bill was submitted to
one Of the Justices of the Supreme Court before
it was presented who considered it correct. 1t
is very probable that all these points will be
taken to the next Law Court for settlement.

MARINE NoTEs.-Yesterday morning as the
schooner Hussar, Capt Matthews, of Ellsworth
for Bucksport, was going out of the harbor,

The bark Gan Eden, Capt. j. Prout, from
Cape de verd Islands, bound to this port, with
cargo of coffee and hides. went ashore on the
southeast point of Nashawena, Martha's Vine
yard, about o'clock Saturday morning. The
bark is leaking badly, is short Of provisions,
and the crew is completely used up. The
sailors were shipped in Cape de Verde, and
we're without shoes or stockings, so that when
the storm commenced they were unable to
assist in working the bark. At the time she
ran ashore it was showing SO thickly that they
could not see 20 feet The captain and mate,
young man Is years old, were the only men
on board who were able to work. The bark

DIR. ScHENcK's STANDARD REMEDIES.

The standard remedies for all diseases Of the lungs
are SCHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, SCHENCKs SEA
WEED TONIC, and SoHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS.
and iftaken before the lungs are destroyed speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines Dr.. j. II. Scheuck, Of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws it off by easy expectora
ton, for when the phlegm matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonc Syrup to do this. Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver
Sclenck's Mandrake Pills act the liver removing
all distractions, relax the gall bladder, the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alka of which it is composed,
mixes with the food and prevents souring 1t assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach to healthy
condition, so that the food and the Pulmonc Syrup
will make good blood; then the lungs heal, and the
patient will surely get well if is taken to pre-
vent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schencs, either per-
sonay or by letter, do so at his principal office,
corner of SIXTH and ARCH SITS, Philadelphia,
every Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country. ma1eod&w2

SuDerintendeut of Sch0oI RuiIdinus

Mr.. EDITOR: If the proposed SUPPLEMENTARY
of school buildings shall be established, the eff
feet of it will be to remove Mr.. Fox from the
deprecated. Mr.. Fox has cared for the public
property as if it were bis own, sparing no pains
or time or zeal. He has not been obliged to
make living out of the place; he has had no
axe to grind, and has not allowed others to
grind their axe at the cost of the town. This
has made few hostile to him. The position las
really been disadvantage to him, and has in
fact twice been declined. But so long as he will
serve, the city cannot afford to lose his services.
We fail to see that the SUPPLEMENTARY will
secure any advantage to the public over the
agency as now existing. We do see that to
GUST Mr.. Fox would be loss, both to teachers,
the schools and the general public. 1t is not
necessary to say that Mr.. Fox knows nothing
of this writing. CITIZEN.

THE Boy ORAToR.-City Hall was about
third filled last evening by an audience drawn
there by curiosity to see j. Harry Shannon, the
'.Boy orator" so-called The attention of the
audience was taken up previous to the arrival
of that wonder by Prof. D. Banks Nc
Kenze, who gave sketch of what he had done
in the world in the roles of a drunkard, ex-
drunkard and superintendent of an inebriate
asylum. His remarks were set off by slang
phrases and capital Is. After he got through
a man who had been through his asylum testi-
fed to the character of the place. At9k
o'clock the Boy Orator was led on the stage by
his father. He is wise looking little fellow
with large. well formed head. His eyes ap-
pear rather sunken, although perhaps his
prominent forehead may have something to do
with this appearance. He has large, thick
lips which are full Of expression when speak
ing. He Is of ordinary height for boy of
seven and quite graceful in his movements and
gestures For an hour and half this little fe-
low delighted the majority of the audience
with orations from Webster and others of this
stamp. All his extracts were given in the same
strained tone of voice. His memory and de-
livery are truly wonderful His father ellis
him what defamation to give and he gives it
something as talking machine would. The
little fellow was passed around the audience
and shook hands with all in his reach in the
same matter of fact manner. In fact he ap-
pears like little old man, and there is nothing
childish about him except his size. Although
his father and the agent deny that the boy is
abused, it would seem that he is. He has never
been to school, and with his present engage
ments can have but little time for play even if
he were disposed to. To these who do not think
this is cruelty let them imagine child of
their acquaintance Of seven years of age get
ting up and delivering orations which none but
the most eminent eloeutionists ever attempted,
for an hour or more from memory, and con-
timing it afternoon and evening for six or
eight months. If this child is not either dead
