An interesting case.

A test case of some Importance has been be-
gun in Bangor. The Masonic fraternity own
block on Main street in that city, valued at
$4,000, which they claim is exempt from tax
alton under the second clause of sec. of chap.
6, Revised Statutes, which exempts from tax,
alton "The real and personal property of all
benevolent, charitable and scientific institu-
lions incorporated in this State" The asses
sors claim the block is not exempt, and a
friendly suit has been commenced in the Su-
preme Court only for the purpose of having
the above statute authoritatiyely interpreted
by the full bench, and the question, which by
the way, has been subject of disagreement in
other cities besides Bangor, finally settled.

"The Mascot" was listened to by an over
flowing house last evening. Helen E. ID. Car
ter appeared as "Bettina," and her entree up.
on the stage was greeted with an outburst OF
enthusiasm. When her sweet voice trliied
forth 'the skylark" in the second act deadly

UNCLE DAN'L.

"The welcome which Mr.. B. McAuley re-

Grand last night was one of the kind too rare
in the days of the stage, when its wandering
exponents abide not long enough in one place
to take any hold ON public regard. 1t was OF
the old "three times three" character evident.
ly sincere-one of those greetings that send
the hearts up in the Threats of even veterans.
The recipient was deeply affected, but rallied
to his task and became "Uncle DanT at once.
Mr. McAuley was always admirable in come
dy, and in his new play, written with an es-
pecial eye to his physical gifts and personal
traits, he is charmngly natural while making
actor can. He "plays with brains too" and
without forcing the fun infuses into his audi
ence the uncutous humor of his part, until ev-
erybody is Laughing except himself, until at
the climaxes all join in the spontaneous calls
before the curtain"

The Awkward Predicament Of Woman
Who Painted in Church.

-
Some women never can faint in the
proper manner nor at the right time.
And if a woman cannot bring about
this happy combination of time and
manner and swoon, she had better get
along without swooning. Now, about
two weeks ago, one Sabbath evening at
Bradford, Pa, the best-behaved and
most thoroughly moral town in the oil
country, q city not given to fainting or
other unseemly displays during rellg-
ious services, the Methodist Episcopal
conference was in session and its min
listers were conducting service. Just
after the ordination of deacons woman
in the gallery tainted. Now, while the
ordination of deacons is a most holy.
solemn and deeply impressive cere-
mony, it is not widely thrilling and ex-
citing, like the initiation scenes in the
Sons of Malta, and it is nothing to faint
over. But this woman tainted, and a
beautiful faint she made of it. 1t seems
that she was sitting in the front seat in
the gallery, and slid straight forward on
to the floor, thrusting her unconscious!
- feet right through the gallery rail.
They must have been startling pair of
feet to view, for the moment they were
observed by the congregation the panic
stricken worshippers raised the cry that
the gallery was giving way, evidently
installing the swaying feet for dis
placed columns or bracket braces. In
the most worldly manner the congrega-
ton made a rush for the doors, and in
the panic the saints trod the sinners
under foot, and the sinners walked
along on The backs of the saints, ac-
cording to the respective size of saint
and sinner, oil being animated by the
desire to get out from under the threat
ening shadow of those overhanging
feet In the midst of the confusion
and terror. one of those unconfined luna
tics whose mission is to say and do the
most idiotic things under the guise of
sanity, sprung through a window and
shouted fire, and unfortunately escaped
alive. That brought the fire depart
ment and a miscellaneous crowd of a
few thousand men and boys swarming
around the church, and although Chap
lain McCabe began singing hymn at
the top of his rather penetrating voice
the panic could not be stayed and the
people got out. but there wasn't fall
bonnet in the congregation fit to look at
And how badly this woman must
have felt when she realized how great
a ruin she had wrought by fainting in
thatridiculous manner. sticking through |
the gallery rail like saw-buck hanging
ON picket fence. And how the women
with ruined hats will glare at her, es-
pecially those women who can't afford
to buy new ones. A woman who is
given to fainting ought always to pick
out a suitable place before she lets go;
and no woman whose feet are sufficient
ly startling in their development to
throw a. congregation of worshippers
into panic has any right to faint at all.

that IL must have been the knife with
which Young Edmond Dantes (thee
Comte de Monte Christo) had ripped
open the sack in which he had been
sewn by the jailer as the corpse OF
Able Faria. Old Alexandra, after
laughing heartily at the incident, sent a |,
handsome present to the fisherman anu
flung the knife into the drawer OF ms
bureau, where it remained until his
death, when it came into the possession
of his son. Young Alexandra was led
by its quaint shape to look upon it as
something strange and weird, and had
it set in a silver handle and placed in a
sheath to carry in his, pocket. Ever
since he thus appropriated it, he feels
that he is doomed to good fortune.
His pieces all succeed. His speculations
never fail. The superstition has taken
such root, that he is frequently called
upon to help in the recovery of lost
articles and the restoration OF lost al
fections. A curious example OF this
credulity was exhibited the other day
at Deanville, where Polish Princess
of great influence in the world of fash
ion had dropped on the sand bracelet
of great value, containing a portrait OF
the late Empress of Russia set in dia-
monds. The tide had washed up twice
since the accident and all efforts to re-
cover the jewel had been in vain. The
Princess, who, like most of her country
women, has the greatest faith in tails
mans, Immediately wrote to Alexandra,
with the conviction that, aided by the
rusty knife, he could find the bracelet.
OF course the appeal excited great mer-
riment among his friends, but his chiv
alrous gallantry induced him to answer
the appeal, and he started for Deanville
at once. On his arrival he Immediately
rushed to the PLACE, and after having
,aluted the fair Princess and expressed
his conviction that no power could
restore heavy gold bracelet washed
)ut to sea by the tide, he strolled down
he sands out of sight to have dip
before dinner. No sooner had he
plunged his foot into the water then he
irew it back with an exclamation of
pain. He had trodden on something
lard and sharp, which had caused
leep wound in the sole of his foot,
making the blood flow. He stopped to
the cause, and to his utter
drew forth the golden
bracelet, which had become wedged
between two stones, and thus pre-
Eented from drifting out to sea. The
lelight of the Princess may be easily
and her faith in the rusty
lnife blade has increased from faith
Utmost to worship. .i..

Disclaimed the Relationship,

The man who travels on the railroad
and sits down by the side of lone females
while laboring under the impression
that he recognizes a likeness in their
faces to his wife's aunt's cousin, met his
match on one of the roads in this vicin-
ity lately He sat down in the half oil

His first question was: ....
Pardon me, Miss. but is your name
James? 1 have cousin of that name,
whom you greatly resemble."-n ise,g
"No, sir" was the reply, "my name
is not James. But, pardon me, is your
name Zinc or Copper"

said the astonished man. J"(What lead
YOU to suppose l had such names?r ~
Excuse me,'' was the quiet reply,
"but / thought certain you must be
