Hon. James Bailey.

The Hon. James Bailey died at his late resi-
dence corner of Spring and State streets Satur-
day noon, after long illness, from Bright's
disease.
Mr.. Bailey was a native of County Derry,
Ireland. He was born in 1921. His parents re-
moved to this country when he was but year
old, and located in Eastport, where they re-
sided till he was seven years of age, and then
removed to this city. When fourteen years
old he became dry goods clerk but later was
apprenticed to John Rounds, harness and
trunk maker, which business he followed Tor
some years. After serving his apprenticeship
he bought out Joseph Ring, whose shop was
located under the United States Hotel, and
afterward purchased the harness shop owned
by Mr.. Goddard on Free street, carrying on
the manufacturing of harnesses on the second
floor and deyoting the lower floor to salesrcoms
for saddlery and hardware But the last
mentioned branch of his business soon grew to
such proportions that he gave up the manu-
facture of harnesses and devoted himself solely
to the saddery, hardware and furnishing bust
ness. About 1850 he hired the building No.
264 Middle street, whore he carried on the
business till his death.
Mr.. Bailey was one of the original mem
bers and an ex-president of the Mercantile
Library Association and one of the original
members OF the Board of Trade and Merchants
Exchange, in both of which bodies he took an
active interest. He was a member of the
Common Council from Ward in 1923;
Alderman from in 1870; elected to the Maine
Senate in 1878; and since 1878 director Of
the Casco National Bank. He was prominent
ly mentioned in connection with the Mayoralty
by the Republicans few years ago and would
have probably been elected by large majority
but declined the nomination. He was men,
Der and trustee Of Maine Lodge of Odd Eel
laws, and also of the Odd Fellows Relief.
Mr.. Bailey married Miss Helen Fl. Varney,
sister to Charles B. Varney, the well known
-four merchant on Commercial street. Mrs.
Bailey. three sons and one daughter survive
him.
Mr.. Bailey will be serious loss to the city.
He was man of great industry, of sterling
integrity, and possessed of those amiable and
genial qualities that made him universal
favorite with all who knew him. He was al
ways reliable in whatever position he was
placed and reflected credit upon the Republic
can party with which he was always identified,
as we'll as upon himself.
Mr. Baiey's funeral will take place to.mor-
row at 80 D. m.

The second lecture of the Stoddard course at
City Hall, will be given this evening. He has
a fascinating subject. None know better than
he how to make an evening visit to Paris an
almost actual experience. Paris, the great
cosmopolitan city of the world, where Ameri-
cans, English, Russians, Spaniards and Ital-
ians have established their colonies SO success
fully that the French are complaining that
they are being driven out of their own beloved
city. Audiences more crowded even than
those on other nights have assembled to enjoy
this lecture in other cities this season, and 1t
seems to be conceded that in charm Of perso-
nal narrative and beauty of illustration, Mr..
Stoddard's narrative is masterpiece.

THE MINISTRY.


Rev. O. A. Hayden of Auburn, lately of
Portland, in speaking of "The Ministry at
the Universalist convention in Washington,
spoke first of the need of ministers, and re-
ferred to fields where ministers could be profit
ably employed, and to large settlements hav-
ing been made in the west where, today, the
voice of minister of their denomination has
never been heard. He then noted the fact
that young men were probably deferred from
entering the ministry because the ministers
themselves did not magnify their Office He
referred to the advantages the Office gave a
man, to say nothing of the enjoyment of the
work. As to the kind of ministers seded, he
said first the minister should forget himself,
and throw himself thoroughly into the work.
Preach the Gospel not as some do, preaching
everything else but the Gospel. He gave
some illustrations of that kind Of preaching.
He should have courage to speak his cow ic-
tions, for courage is better than drill. They
should remember that if God could do without
their learning he wants our ignorance still
less. The minister should be mouthpiece of
the spirit The age demands that he should
be informed on the great questions of the day.
They should be consecrated and sincere in the

PULPIT AND PLATFORM.
BEWARE OF MEN.


This was the text of Rev. Mr.. Daniels dis
course at the Second Parish church yesterday
afternoon, taken from Matt. 10:17. After re-
ierring to the necessity of the warning, the
speaker made several applications OF the
words. First, be ware of the man who processes
much and practices little; who gives promises
without performances. Words have force but
they are shallow without deeds. What you
are, not what you say bears the test Second,
beware OF the man who lays claim to special
virtues. There are no special virtues in Chris
tianity Sin Is sin and the Christion must
all hate SIN. Virtue is virtue and the christian
must love all virtue. We have rounded
character when we love all virtue and hate all
sin. Third, beware OF the man whose friend
snip can De retained only by being partial to
him. The law of policy in friendship is try
ing one and breeds abundant discord The
laws OF kindness and helpfuness treating
alike by always treating we'll, is the true
law. Fourth, beware of the man who claims
confidence at sight. No stranger has right
to ask you to trust him at sight, neither have
you the right to expect people to trust you at
sight. Condolences is plant of slow growth;
it takes time to'develop 1t; it must be won. 1t
is only Christian principle that wins place
and character. Worth finds its level but not till
after the testing Some one applied good
law when he said. "Be confdant with only
those to whom you would loan hundred dol
lars without security" Fifth, we are to be-
ware OF men who call evil good and good evil.
We hear it said, very often, 10 these days,
Christianity is a lie. Then lie is more bene-
hcent to the world than any truth has been.
Christianity is great certainty. 1t has been
and is the light of the world. What have in
hdels done for the world? They have brought
on fog and storm without the sunlight to dis
sipate it. The speaker closed with a confident
assertion as to the reality and value of Chris
tianity in all the circumstances Of life.

The property of the Company consists of $500
head of cattle, houses, six ranches, controlling
twenty miles of river front, which controls 20o,-
600 acres of land, fuses, corrals and other build
ings necessary conduct the business, located in
Tonic Basin, centre part of Arizona Territory.
It has long been known that the raising of Cattle
in Texas, NewMexico, Arizona and other States and
Territories of the great west is and for many years
has been immensely profitable and the fame of the
Cattle Kings is world wide. Starting with small
means, these men within comparatively short
time, attained positions in the World of business
and finance rivalling the famous Bonanza Kings of
the Pacific Coast. Their success shows the results
of intelligent and persevering efforts and the short
time which has been necessary for the achievement
of that success proves conclusivey that investment
made in the cattle business rarely fails of returning
ratio of profit fairly astonishing to those not fa-
miliar with the resources of the great west And
the almost absolute certainty with which the profit
be relied upon, will at once commend this class
of Investment to anyone who will take the trouble
to study the history of Stock in the western portions
of the United States and more particularly Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona. Capital invested in cattle
viii return larger per centage of interest than is
returned by any other legitimate investment, and at
the same time be free from the risks and uncer-
speculative business.
No safer investment could be offered.
The management of the Company's affairs is in
the hands of parties whose long experiences renders
them familiar with all details and are emnently At
ted to conduct the enterprise with success.

expenses the holders of the preferred stock are to

Out and Away.

UNIoNTowN, April pa seven of
the ten prisoners in Jail here escaped
last night. The Sheriff and his dep
uty were both absent from home, and
it seems the partial care of the Jail
had been entrused to Harrison Shaw
a prisoner charged with cattle steal
ing. Harrison has had much liberty
allowed him, for he was believed to be
innocent, and the Sheriff placed con-
fidence in him. He used the advan-
tage thus obtained to effect his escape
together with his fellow prisoners.
He neglected properly to shoot the
bolts of an inside iron barred door
which led to an outer apartment of
the jail Through this the prisoners
made their exit, thence to the roof
and through the skyelight to the out
side of the roof. Here they tied to-
gether blankets, TO answer the pur-
pose of rope, secured one end to the
roof above and threw the other end
down over the side of the building,
and thus descended to the ground.
They were tracked for short dis
lance this morning, but their traces
were soon lost sight Of. 1t has been
but short time since prisoner es-
capped Jail here in the same manner
as those of last night. The Sheriff
lays the blame at the door of the
County Commissioners for neglccting
to have the Jail repaired when they
knew escape was easy through the
roof bars, while the Commissioners
think the escapes occurred on account
of the negligence of the Sheriff.

Those people who are talking
themselves hoarse about re-assess-
ment and the like, and finding all
sorts of fault with the State officials
should content their minds until
they got some information. They
fail to realize the fact that the noise
is made merely for political effect,
without regard to facts, law, history
or truth. While the criticisms are
raging like cyclone it will be oh
served that not single Republican
newspaper has said, or will in decen-
cy pretend to say, that the action of
the State officials in the matter of as
sessment has been either unlawful
or improper. They will cloud the in
telligence oftheir readers, If they can
by the unbounded use of long sylla-
bled adjectiees decrying the assess
ment, and telling the people they are
going to be taxed to death and they
limit their criticisms to naked, and
generally improbable and untruthful
assertions.
Observing persons will notice that
all that is said by the opposition is
merely in the nature Of unsupported
declarations.
