this occasion, two performances are
to be given-a matinee of the comedy

fore, and in the evening the COM
edy OF Extremes; or, Men Of the
Day." This is one Of the finest come
dies ever written, and though la"%ing
in sensational situations, - lar from
being of as quiet and peaceful a
character as Ours." 1t is filled
with the brightest dialogue and live
Hest repsrtee, and has fine plot.
The effect at the conclusion of the
play is really dramatic. and oil a
nature that will please. Besides
this, it affords several good characters,
is not a star play in any sense, and
according to the distribution OF
parts, will be well performed. The
entertainments OF the club are Just
about long enough between to give g
relish, while they enable the per-
formers to take some pains with
their parts. They are now hard at
work, and the piece will be brought
forward in the best manner, and
with all the effects it will admit of.

Training School for Nurses.

The object for which Miss c. Alice Baker
lectures this EVENING" training school for
hurses-may be new in thought, or vague to
many as to its aims, and how it accompanies
them. The favorable experience of some with
good nurses may make them indifferent to the
plan, and there are those who hold the idea
that nursing is best learned by nursing, and
that tact and opportunity are the only essen
tlals-hence that such thing as a school for
training is unnecessary. A gift and the oppor.
tunity for its exercise are important elements,
but If we value life as much as limb we must
have trained nurses as we'll as educated sur
geons or engineers. Many precious life goes
out by unskillful nursing. Surely all by help
less sickness are reduced to this common need
OF watchful, skillful, tender care. Uniform
cheerfulness, quiet, intelligent obedience to
the orders of the physician, adaptive care and
thoughtfulness of the needs of each sick per-
son, anticipative knowledge, come from educa-
ton and training, and RE not provided for in
the mere taking up of the business. Nurses
like others take to their profession what they
are and what they have been educated to do.
Ordinarily perhaps it may not make so much
difference, but when we deal with lifes in
tricate processes it does make difference
whether We know Or do not know A training
school for nurses aims, in two years. course,
to make intelligent, skillful nurses. The
training is scientific and clinical by lectures,
examinations, and the varied practical ex-
periences in the different wards, medical and
surgical, the treatment of emergencies; the
preparation Of the dietary of the sick, and the
most painstaking instruction in the minutest
details Of everything that pertains to the care
of the sick. Such are how to make the bed.
the best method of handling patient, and SO
on, for which, when the final examination is
successfully passed, diploma is given and the
community reaps the benefit of the instruction.
For this purpose it is desirable to obtain
permanent fund, the income of which will
meet the expenses of the school. The superin-
tendent of narses must be we'll educated, and
prepared to give instruction, and to see that
that impaired by the physicians who give
these lectures, is understood and applied, for
which fair salary must be paid. Each ward
must have its head nurse paid and retained,
who will also aid in giving instruction in
training.
We have a we'll appointed hospital where
nurses can be trained. Cordial support

the benefit of the community.

A Murderer to be Hung.

James M. W. Stone of Westbrook, the col

Abiel Goss-Correction.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Allow me to correct an item
which saw in recent number of your Daily
respecting the birth place of Abiel Goss who
was recently run over and killed in Boston.
The item states that ne was born in Norway.
Abel Goss referred to was the son of Samuel
and Lucretia (Howe) Goss, who came from
Bolton, Mass, and settled in Rumford and
was among the pioneer settlers of that town.
His two sons, Thomas and Abel were born in
Rumford. Samuel Goss was the son of Rev.
Tn 'mas Goss who graduated at Harvard College
in 1887, and was the able and somewhat eccent
rio minister of Bolton. A brother of Samuel Goss
was DR.. Ebenezer Fl. who was q physician at
Maquoit (Brunswick) and in 1904 moved to
Paris, and whose wife was the daughter of
Rev. Timothy Walker of Concord, N. H., and
a sister of the wife of Benjamin Thompson
Count Rumford). Abiel Goss was a carpenter
and while young man went to East Cam
bridge. He then became contractor and
builder and accumulated large property. His
wife was Myra Boynton. Thomaa, the only
brother Of Abiel Goss. aged nearly 80 years, is
still living at Locke's Mills in Greenwood

Ward z.

Mr.. EDITOR: Please allow me space in your
columns to correct the false impression that
prevails to some extent in Ward z, that Hol-
man s. Melcher will not accept nomina lion
for2 councilman from this ward. While he
will not push his own cause to the extent of
crowding any one else, he will nevertheless
accept the support of his friends at the coming
caucus
Major Melcher was good soldier, and is a
man of strict integrity and OF spotless reputa-
ton, and he would seem with his large business
experience to be the very man to protect the
city's interests at this time. Let his many
friends see to it that this evening he is nomi-
mated by rousing majority.

To the Editor Of the Press:
In your issue of the 10th inst. you say i'll ref

State Prison Report "The report is signed by
Mr. Edward Cushing, who has been inspector
for some years, and has certainly been slow in
reporting the careless bookkeeping which he
now says has prevailed in the prison."
am satisfied that you did not Intentionally
mean to place me in false light before the
public, and that you will cheerfully give me
space in your columns for this letter. was

Conner. My first official act at the prison
which the report of November, 1878, was
made mp. DR.. Billings and Mr.. Prince, who
had been inspectors several years, were my as
sociates, and as 1 was new man to prison af-
fairs, did not at that time investigate or in
quire into matters very carefully, certainly not
SO carefully as l should perhaps have done,
but think that may be excused, inasmuch
as 1t would have appeared matter OF suPerer-
ogation on my part to have questioned the
accuracy of the statements made by my asso-
ciates when did not and had not any means
of knowing or believing to the contrary.
was friend and a believer in Warden Rice
and commenced my duties under the impress
ton one year ago about the accounts and notes
due and was informed that it had always been
customary to krecka. them at face value. I
made no further question of the matter at the
time, but it led me to think that it was not all
right, and during the year ending November,
1879, made it my business to look into all the
affairs of the prison, as it was my duty to do,
and reported in November, 1879, the facts as
had found them to be after careful, patient
and exhaustive research in relation thereto.
DR.. Martin was animated by the same motives
that was, and together we have made a re-
port stating facts as they exist without inten-
ton or desire to cast reflections on any one, but
with the purpose of giving the truth in refer
ence to prison affairs to the people and let
them draw their own differences of the general
management of the prison. I challenge
close criticism of our position in the matter,
believing that it is impregnable, and that the
facts as stated in the majority report cannot
be successfully controverted. only desire to
have my position fully understood, feeling we'll

Aroostook Notes.

The Houlton Savings Bank is doing quite a
large business this winter. Several sums of
five hundred dollars or more have been deposit
ted, besides the smaller ones. The bank
seems to be great convenience, well conduc-
ted and j. HI. Bradford makes a good secretary
and cashier.
Houlton affords good facilities for grinding
grain. Two good flour mills in the village
and another within two miles at Cary's Mills.
There is a large trade here now, more freight
on the railroad than ever.
f. w. Titcomb, Esq, is running his single
mill to its full capacity. He turns out about
fifteen million year, and will have another
at Deer Lake, n. B.
At F. Shaw & Bro. S extract mill they grind
up some twenty cords of hemlock bark a day,
making about six thousand cords year.
Messrs. Shaw Brothers have bought site at
Sherman Mills on which they are about lcca-
ting an extract mill for the purpose of supply
ing their tanneries in the State, and especially
their Kingman tannery. They are now haul
ing the machinery on to the ground The
mill is to be of sufficient capacity to grind 1O,-
600 cords of bark year The machinery and
appliances are quite expensive. 1t has five
among the fittings are four copper pans, SO
called, which cost between $1,000 and $4,000
each. These pans are said to be II feet across.
The machinery and equipments to be delivered
at Sherman Mills on snow the present winter
weigh 100 tons, and all this is to be worked in
a building 40x1S0 feet on the ground. They
also are to land 200 cords of bark at the site of
mill to begin work on next fall before shedding.
Mr. johnson who owns saw mill at Silver
Ridge about five miles below on the Molunkus
stream, has contracted to deliver 30 900 boards
for the mill. Business for men in summer
and winter must be good for many years to
come in this vicinity and our young men need
not go West to work in the woods and mill
yards.
While Mr.. Ezra Cushman of Sherman was
at work cutting logs in the woods last week he
was struck a glancing blow on the side of his
head and shoulder Dya tree that had been
lodged some time previous. He was taken up
for dead but it is thought no bones are broken
and he will be about again in few weeks. He
had no apprehension of danger till he was
brought to after the accident.

The Black Swan.

Mr. EDlToR:-This wonderful phenomenon
OF nature may now be seen at Augusta free of
charge. When Swan took that thousand dol
lar bond, agreeing to do what he did not in
tend to do, he obtained money under false pre-
lenses and made himself amenable to the
Grand Jury of Kennebec county rather than
to committee of the House. The taking of
the money fixed the crime and dyed the bird
black. The other man in this transaction is
Hartman and suggests the old Harry.
