Bangor, or rather the resolutions or platform
If our subscriber will consult the Daily PRESS

so he had better give up the search, for that
convention didn't pass any.

The Great London Circus

An accurate calculation of the dimensions
OF the three trains which transport the
Coopee q Bailey London show, which is to ex-
hibit in this city next Wednesday demon
strates some interesting facts They are COM
posed of thirty-four cars, none of them less
than so feet in length, nor over 65. Their
combined length figures 2,040 feet, or $50
yards. An ordinary train of "A cars would
make, counting them 2S feet long, respective
ly, 95a feet. Thus it is easy to see that the
London circus trains make what is equivalent
to 90 cars, more than were ever used by any
other show. Examine the trains when they
arrive and demonstrate that figures will not
lie. This calculation does not include three
advance advertising cars.

wealth of resources in the college library;
no better work could be done than to reinforce
this valuable assistance of a good education
Rev. Prof Sewall of Bangor most eloquent
ly urged the claims of the college upon all
present who have boys now in preparatory
course. y
Mr.. Crosby of the same city, a graduate of

ulty would not suffer in comparison with those
ancient and honorable worthless who had pass
ed off the STAGE and whom he so much adj
mired and revered
Rev. Mr.. Smith of Waterville, in tehalf OF
the visitors TO the Bangor Seminary, reported
that the present fund of $1S5,00O was well in
vested although affording a rate OF interest
lower than formerly. The trustees had voted
to raise an additional sum of 500, 900 to estab-
lish a chair of New Testament Greek, and to
make up other deficiencies Three hundred OF
the graduates are now in active serv1ce-ten
are missionaries and ten are professors. Two
thirds of the pastors in this State are gradu-
ates. DIR. Fiske stated that although COM
plant had been made because so many OF the
graduates were not literally educated, yet
some of that number had proved to be the
most useful and honorable members in the
sacred calling.
DR.. Warren said he was graduate of Yale
Seminary and had recently visited his Alma
Mater but last week, while attending the ex-
ercises at Bangor, he was sure that his own
State institution would not suffer by COMPARE
son.
Prof. Paine remarked that the seminary was
stronger with its % students than formerly
when the number was not far from 80, for the
reason that their standard was much higher.
Quite reluctantly they had sent back appli-
cants for admission in order that more thor

of the school.
The Woman's Board of Missions proved an
attractive story enough to fill the chapel to
connection with the meeting. that your re-
porter can state positively, is that he could not
find admission.

Tarrant's Settler Aperient

Tarrant's Settler Aperient
continues to hold its own against all of the inn
itations that its great success has encouraged
other manufacturers to put upon the market.
For years this mild, wholly uninjurious and
eficacious preparation has senjoyed the conf
dence of the public, until it has become one of
the indispensable and most trusted of known
mendicaments. From one end of the country
to the other it is in constant demand, and even
abroad it has a reputation scarcely less decided.
Physicians prescribe and recommend it, and it
is not ranked by them among what they know
and oppose as patent medicines 1t has none of
the unpleasant effects upon the health that at
tach to the numberless purgatives and cathar-
tics that are scattered widespread through the
land. On the contrary, Tarrant's Settler gent
~ assists nature. and does not violently attack
it. Its services in most of the lesser COM
plants that are source of general trouble
give to it wider sphere of usefulness than is
covered by any similar aperient. These COM
ments are unnecessary to those who have ever
given this settler trial, and are intended SOLE
ly for those who, suffering from the troubles
which it inevitably remedies, have not yet
sought in it relief from such ailments.

Yesterday morning James McGlinchy, the
we'll known wholesale liquor dealer, was found
dead on the floor of his chamber at his resi-
dence on Danforth street. He had been in his
usual health Wednesday and drove out with
his daughter in the evening. He gave orders
over night for his horse to be ready in the
morning so he could take,a ride horseback
About 7.30 o'clock his eldest daughter went
into the room and found him lying on the
floor dead. A basin of water, in which he had
probably been bathing his feet, stood by him,
and the Sebago was turned on in the sink.
DR.. Bray pronounced the cause of death apo
plexy from putting the feet in the cold water.
Coroner Tobin considered an inquest unneces-
sary.
Mr.. McGlinchy was 81 years of age He has
been in business on Commercial street for over
thirty years, and had represented Ward Four
