Chamberlain Pays a Tribute to the
Maine Supreme Court.
New YORK, Jan. 29.-The Alumni of Bow

The following officers were elected for the en-
suing year:
President-Charles e. Soule.
Vice Pfesidents-Prof Fordyce Baker

and Daniel c. Weston, D. D.
Ireasurer-Theo. Dwight Bradford
Secretary-George Parsons. Jr.
Corresponding Secretary-B. B. Foster.
Gen. Joshua L. Chamberlain, President OF
Bowdoin College, in reply to toast "Our Alma
Water" spoke of the troubles in Maine in
which he had been an active participant and
said one-half of the members of the Supreme
Court who rendered their memorable
decisions in the late political contest were
graduates of Bowdoin College. He continued
saying:
In the confusion of tongues which we had
lately In our trying times, in that chaos of
governors without government there was
needed clear AUTHORITATIVE voice to straighten
matters out, and that voice was the decision of
the Supreme Court. He then went on to say
that those decisions would be lasting chapters
in the constitutional law of that state, and
were decisions great. needed at this present
time. The court arose above mere lawyer S
views suitable to individual cases and rose
from the mere sphere of lawyers to that of
statesmen. The opinions were timely for W no
could tell what the present question might see
see and no lesson was SO sadly needed as the
ono SO lately had.
Other toasts were responded to by Prof
Goodwin, Rev. DR.. John Cotton Smith, w. j.
Curtin, Samuel C. Fessenden and others.

Outside of the people who pay rates when due
and have no words about it, there is only one
class The man who has waited until notified
that the water will be shut off if he doesn't

of awful dignity on his brow and says:
"Going to shut my water off, eh?"
Silence on the part of the clerk
"I'd like to see yon try it on, would! Ii
this Water Board thinks it runs the whole city

More silence from the clerk.
''If the water had been shut off I'd have
given this board such a tilt as it never had be-

mustn't try any CRsarism on me-!

citizen starts for the door, halts, returns slowly

ter their vote is deposited may return to the
ward where they live, thereby opening the
door to great frauds. Nobody is disfranchised
by this bill, nobody is prevented from deposit
ing his vote at the election. The only provis-
ion in relation to it is, that where a man has
not lived in ward to which he shall remove
60 days, that he shall go back to the ward from
which. he moved in order to deposit his vote.
There seems to be no hardship about it, no.
body is disfranchised and nobody is deprived
of the right of voting. 1t is simply fixing the
time a sufficient number of days that it may be
rendered certain that a man goes into ward
for the purpose of residence and not for the
purpose of defeating the provisions Of the cleo
ton laws.
Mr. Strout moved a suspension of the rules
in order that the bill might take its several
readings.
Mr.. Brooks of Belfast objected, preferring
first to examine the bill.
The House refused to suspend the rules and
the bill took the usual course by being laid
upon the table to be printed.
The following bills were passed:
Additional to chapter 154 of the public laws
of 1877, relating to corporations, providing the
manner in which corporations may dissolve,
giving the courts power to dissolve the same.
Additional to chapter ga of the Revised
Statutes, enlarging the duties of judges Of
probate so that whenever an executor or adj
ministrator refuses to pay the debt or claim
presented the judge may appoint commits
sioners to examine such debt or claim, provd-
ing that a bond be fled by the persons bring
ing such claims.
a bill was reported from the committee to
amend chapter 173 Of the public laws of 1877
relating to the election OF experimenting
school committees by adding these words
''the municipal officers shall fill all vacancies
arising in the Office of supervisor until the
next annual election
