Boston Herald)
The President has appointed the best man for
Minister to Sweden and Norway, Hon. W. W.
Thomas, Jr., Of Portland Mr. Thomas,
though stll young, is one of the most
prominent politicians in the state. He enjoys
the rare advantage of knowledge OF the
language OF the country TO which he is gonQ'
and Of the people as we'll, having previously
served there as Consul and also being the
father OF tho Swedish Colony in Northern
Maine. A picture of Mr. Thomas hangs on
one side of the pulpit in tho church at New
Sweden to match the Ten Commandments on
the other side.
Boston Post)
Hon. w. w. Thomas, Jr., of Portland, has
decided to accept the Swedish Mission, and
Sweden and Norway are to be congratulated as
well as the people OF the United States.

The Presidents selection OF Hon. w. w.
Thomas, Jr., OF Portland for Minister to
Sweden Ia an excellent one. He is familiar
with the country and speaks its language flu
emily.

We are pleased to see that the President has
not taken the Swedish Mission from Maine,
but has appointed Hon. William w. Thomas,
Jr., Of Portland, as Minister Resident to sue
coed Minister Stevens. The Maine delegation
nnitedly requested the appointment of Mr.
Thomas. ana no was strongly recommended by
leading citizens all over the state He is es-
pecaly qualified for that mission and we be-
speak for him gratifying diplomatic success.

The President Thursday nominated Hon.
VIM. W. Thomas, Jr., Minister Resident to
Sweden and Norway, certainly the most appro-
pirate appointment that could possibly nave
been made
(Biddeford Times.)
The appointment CT w. w. Thomas, Jr.. as

An Entertainment OF Surprising Interest.
The Boston Globe thus nnqualifedly indorses
Fo-epaugh's stupendous combination OF hippo
drome, menagerie, mu seum, triple circus, etc,
which will appear here on Monday, June 25ih :
'Boih performances of Forepaugh's monster
aggregation yesterday attracted immense audi
ences; for more than could ever hope to gain
admittanee crowded around the entrance gates
and ouly when it was necessary to proclaim
that no more money would be taken, did those
who were unfortunate enough to be last, turn
reluctantly away. The attractions Of the cir
Gus and hippodrome and the excellence OF the
menagsrie are now well-worn themes and
scarcely require 10 be again impressed upon the
minds Of our readers. Were 1t necessary, there
could be hardly any limit to description; zach
special feature is well worthy separate mention
aud, moreover. eulogy. We can, however,
heartily advise our readers to go and Judge for
themselves whether all that has been said Of
the show is not fulfilled, and, in fact, more
than fulfilled, whether it be the marvellous
performances in the hippodrome, the daring
feats OF bareback riding, the overwhelmingly
eomicsl clowns; all are alike wonderful, and
when combined with the collections OF ami
mails, form together an entertainment Of sur
passing interest"

ADVICE TO MOTHERS Mas WINsLows
SOOTHING SYRUP should always be used when
children are cutting teeth. 1t relieves the lit
tie sufferer at once; it produces natural. quiet
sleep by relieving the child from pain, and the
little cherub awakes as 'bright as button.''
1t is very pleasant to taste. 1t soothes the
child, softens the gums, alays all pain, relieves
wind, regulates the bowels and is the best
known remedy for diarrhea, whether arising
from teething or other causes. Twenty FIVE
cents a bottle.

The Gas Company.
TO the Eaton 81 he Press.

TO the Editor Of the Press.
There seems to be general feeling in this
community at the present time aroused by the
recent action Of tho Gas Company, in dividing
among its stockholders an extra dividend of
20 per cent following so closely upon that of
last year, 20 per cent. on its capital, that the
interest Of consumers has not been regarded In
the least, and that this large amount OF money,
nearly half million dollars, has been extorted
from them by means OF nnneces arily heavy
charges for gss consumed There must be-
something wrong, when a company so nearly
allied TO the Interest," Of the whole people as a
gas company is, can, In addition to a regular
10 per cent dividend, hoard up, without the
knowledge OF the stockholders, or of the
public, a surplus more than equal to the
whole amount OF their capital stock, Is there
no remedy for this evil, or must the people
continue within the extortionate grasp of a
soulless corporation. b.
