A Contented and Happy People.


Maine is the only state entirely satisfied with
its climate. No right minded citizen can be
heard complaining of the winter or summer
temperature, for the one means ice, which can
be sold, and the other means visitors, who can
be (but never are) sold too. The coast line of
the State is estimated at three thousand miles
Even now there is scarcely headland which
does not feel the light tread of the boarder
Few are the inhabitants by sea who are not
directly or indirectly the richer for the coming
of the great company of visitors, glad to
breathe the pine-fayored air and partake of
the opulent pie or the frugal clam The cost
of being cool on the Maine coast has been gross
ly exaggerated. Mount Desert, especially, has
been made to bear the reputation OF furnishing
the least nourishment at the highest prices on
record. Envious rivals circulate the painful
rumors The fact is, that Maine is relative.
ly inexpensive as it is a surprisingly attractive
resort for summer sojourners The feast of
scenery is splendid, and now other food is
furnished at reasonable rates.

Nearly Killed bz loves

A lady of this city lately had narrow escape
from death under circumstances that it would
be well for the young men, who are constantly
called out of the theatre and concert hall TO
ponderover. These young men are always
requiring a Glove and it has ALWAYS been
matter Of surprise that they did not secure all
the cloves they wanted the first time rather
than make SO many trips for the fragrant
spice.
1t appears that one of our physicians was
lately called to attend a lady patient who was
evidently suffering from the effects of some
yirulent poison. She presented all the mark
ed symptoms of one who was in most danger
Gus condition requiring prompt and active
remedes.ss Upon investigation the doctor as
certained the lady had been in the habit of
eating cloves, commencing, as many do, by
taking one occasionally Then she increased
her allowance daily until she was hardly ever
without Glove in her mouth. When seized
by this sharp attack she had consumed a whole
quarter of pound of cloves the same day.
After vigorous measures had been adopted,
and after long struggle, the lady was pro-
nounced out of danger.

Reed and Appropriations.


One of the best things said during the SEES
sion of Congress was uttered by Mr.. Reed of
Maine on Saturday. At the request of his
sick colleague, Mr.. Lindsey, Mr.. Reed under
took to persuade the house to take up and pass
the Senate bill to authorize the construction of
a public building at Augusta, Maine. A
single objection would prevent the consider
alton of the measure. Mr. Mckenzie of Ken
lucky, seeing an opportunity to make point
for himself, said he would not object if he
could have action also on his bill for a public
building at Greensboro. Whereupon this col
loquy ensued:
MI. Reed-I do not think the gentleman
from Kentucky ought to make that request to
me.
Mr. McKenzie-The objection to the request
which 1 made came from gentlemen on that
side of the House.
Mr.. Reed certainly have not objected.
Mr.. Naturalization will the gentleman
permit the bill to which / have referred to be
+ taken up for consideration?
Mr.. Reed-I will say this to the gentleman
that would not, for the sake of all the public
buildings erected in Maine or elsewhere, mort
gage my views in this manner upon any sub
iect.
That is an plain and brave announcement of
general opposition to the log-rolling system.
If Mr.. Reed will stand by his principle and
fight for it he will win honor and fame.

Tne Campaign.

The Lewiston Journal has reports from all
parts of Maine which show that the Republic
cans are active and confident. The canvass of
Kennebec county shows Republican gain of
500 compared with 1880 Reports from Aroos-
took are very encouraging. The bad nominal
lions in some counties by the Fusionists and
the cut-and-dred make up of tickets in others
cause dissatisfaction. In Knox county bolt
is threatened in the Plaisted-G reenback ranks.
In Cumberland county, where the Irish and
Catholic vote is 1900, two members of the
Order of the Patriotic Sons of America have
been nominated for Senators. The absence of
Representative Ladd from Washington and
the performance Of Representative Murch in
conserving to pair his vote on the River and
Harbor bill with that of an absentee, when his
vote was as good as those of two members in
favor of the bill, causes nc little disgust.

Why Not. Indeedq
Boston Advertiser.


Why not, indeed? A Greenbacker of York
county, Me-, is surprised that any member of
the party should hesitate to support Mr.. Dane,
the candidate for Congress in that district,
because he is president of national bank.
''What difference does it make, he asks, "if he is
president of the little bank at Keanebunk village?
1t is necessary to have banking houses, and we OBJ
sct to the national banks only in so far as they are
banks of issue. We are opposed to banks of issue
whether state or national; and upon this question
the Greenback and Democratic parties agree. There
is, therefore, no inconsistency in our voting for Mr.
Dane for Congress- But if we withhold our support
from him we aid those who believe in our present
banks OF issue, and consequently in perpetuating
the bonded debit
Nobody would suppose from this that the
Ocean National Bank was "bank of issue.
But it is; and that is almost all it is its crcu-
lation being more than three times as much as
it's individual deposits. The reasoning quoted
is as full of holes as fish net, but if it satisfies
Greenbackers it is all right.

TEE DETROIT RACES.
What is Said Of the Portland oarsmen.

The special correspondent of the Boston
Herald SAYS: "When the regattas Of the pres
emit week on Detroit river close it will appear,
unless all indications are at fault, that four
cities of New England will have earned more
than an ordinary share of praises and aquatic
honors and that Boston, Providence, Paw
tueket and Portland excel in sculling.
The stations fer starting the single scull race
were drawn this afternoon, and Mumford,
Yates, an old timer, who formerly rowed with
William B. Curtis, OConnell of Portland and
Holmes were drawn in the same heat. Buck
ley was also drawn in the heat, and felt badly
that his changes were 50 poor for getting in the
final, but later it was discovered that his name
had been drawn by mistake. He goes into the
second heat with Muchmore of the Farraguts
of Chicago and Laing of Montreal Kirby of
the Narragansetts goes in the third heat with
Schwelkert and Plass'of the Detroit Centen-
mails and Emerson of the Bay City. Holmes
is the favorite, and, being in excellent condi-
ton, he ought to win the race. Muchmore is
rated as second choice, and western men would
be very much surprised to see the three New
lnSldAuoiS, hOAm0S, AlIps anu DUMMY, IL
the final heat, yet there is a strong probability
that these men will be in the final unless one
or more of them should get out Of shape be-
tween now and Thursday.
In the double scull heats of today, the To-
ronto, Chatham and Pawtucket crews will
meet in the first and the Farraguts, NautiluS
crew and Dirigos in the second. Holmes and
Appley will represent the Pawtucket, and
Buckley and O'Connell of Portland, Maine,
the Dirigos. The Portland scullers are in fine
condition, and row together in splendid form,
as also does the Toronto crew, which is COM
posed of r. Timing and J. Douglass
The junior scullers, Murphy of the Boston
Shawmuts, Cattanach of the Provi dence Mar
ragansetts, Fitzpatrick of the Boston Column
bians, who is under the care and instruction OF
George Faulkner, and Tingley and Sanborn of
the Narragansett and Bresnan Of Portland,
are in heats for the second days racing. The
juniors will make interesting contests and
good time is promised although the course is
not so fast as that on the Potomac river at
Washingtons where last years races were
roWed.

suicide Of a Fifteen- Year-old Boy.

A most unaccountable suicide occurred in
the village Of Prospect, opposite Bucksport,
Saturday evening, when Charles Robbins, an
orphan boy, Is years of age, took his own life
Robbins parents both died some years ago, and
be has since been living with George Crockett,
a farmer of Prospect. Saturday evening, at 6
o'clock, Robbins went out 80 the barn to milk
the cows as usual He did not return, how
ever, after the ordinary time, and the Crock
etts went to ascertain the cause of his delay,
when. to their horror, they found the boy
hanging by q rope around his neck to beam in
the barn. Life was extinct when the discovery
was made Robbins hung with his feet just
clear of the floor.

Horse Cars and Island Steamers

To the Editor of the Press:
Dear Sir:-The directors of the Horse Rail-
road as much as the public are to be congratu-
lated upon the extension of the track through
Pearl and Commercial streets. What is needed
now to give the required facility TO ladies and
children living upon the Congress street line,
is a connection perhaps at High street and at
the office of the company with the Spring
street cars, upon the same ticket, SO that they
can go directly to the steamers, and then all
