'The best art exhibit that has ever been seen
in this State" Is what Mr.. Haskell, the gen.
tleman in charge of it, thinks the State Fais
art exhibition will prove to be. Formerly tas
preliminary correspondence and solicitations
Tor material and exhibits have done little else
than draw pictures, art work and material
from the sections Immediately in the vicinity
of the fair, and although the art exhibits have
undoubtedly been very hne, they have more or
progress Of act throughout the State. This
year the circulars sent out have ELECTED an
swers and applications from most every section
Of the State. Applicants for space have come
from the fsrthest northern counties. There
were applications from Aroostook and Oxford
counties. The management hope that Harry
Brown, of Portland, may be induced to exhibit
some of his work, and that Portland will be
better represented than ever.

AN ADDRESS TO The PEOPLE

State Committee Speaks.

State Committee Speaks.
BosroN, Aug. 29.-The Republican State
committee opens the campaign in this State
one can c.y,e-l e,r .ss5-:ss-z ;fa1< uoh
presidential election. At the same time it
would be worse than idle to disguise
the fact that the coming election
is essentially State campaign. To the
poople of Massachusetts,, State issues of
almost unprecedented gravity justly outweigh
at this time all other considerations. Massa-
chusetts has been fouly slandered for
personal and party reasons by her su-
prems executive magistrate and his followers.
Under the same auspices an administrative
policy of spoils in the State and spoils and
plunder in the city of Boston has been set on
foot which ia at variance with all the habits
and traditions of Massachusetts" 1t urges the
overthrow of the power responsible for such
principles.

the 10 o'clock train. At least 1900 people
gathered in the vicinity of the depot, and Gov
ernor Hale's appearance was greeted with
hearty cheers. Barouches we're In waiting
and the visitors we're escorted to the Rocking
ham House at 11.30. A grand procession was
formed, embracing the visiting fire companies

This Takes the Cake.

A very, very tough story in which
a chicken, a rat, a cat, dog and a
boy figured was going the rounds in
the East End yesterday. The story is
vouched for by good authority, and
on this accounts all the more remark
able It is related that Mr.. Sam Nc
Curdy was sitting meath the shade of
a tree in the back yard of his residence
on Clay, near Franklin street, talking
to some friends, when his attention
was called to a hen with a brood Of
young chickens and a large rat that
had just emerged from its hole and
was quietly regarding the young
chickens with the prospect of a meal
in view. AS the rat came from his
hole the house-cat awoke from her
afternoon nap and caught sight of the
rat Crouching low, she awaited de
velopments, and stood prepared to
spring upon his ratship. At the ap-
pearance of his ancient enemy, the
cat, a Scotch terrier; which had been
summing itself in the woodshed,
pricked up its ears and quietly made
for the place where the cat stood. At
this moment q boy named Andy Quaid
came upon the scene. The chickens
were not cognizant of being watched
by the rat, nor did the rat see the cat,
nor the feline the dog, who had not
noticed the coming of the boy.
A little. chick wandered too nigh
and he was seized by the rat, which
was in turn pounced upon by the cat
and the cat was cat was caught in the
mouth of the dog. The rat would not
cease his hold on the chicken, and
the cat, in spite of the shaking she
was getting from the dog, did not let
60 the rat. 1t was fun for the boy,
and in high glee he watched the con-
test and the struggle of each of the
victims It seemed to him that the rat
was going to escape after a time. and
getting stone he hurled at the rodent.
The aim was not good and the stone
struck the dog right between the eyes.
The terrier released its grip on the cat
and fell over dead. 1t had breathed its
last before the cat in turn let go the
rat and turned over and died The rat
did not long survive the enemy, and
by the side of the already dead chicken
he laid himself down and gave up the
ghost.
The owner of the dog was so angry
at his death that he is said to have
come near making the story complete
by killing the boy that killed the dog
that shook the cat that caught the rat
that bit the chicken in the yard on Clay
street.-LOuisville Journal.

A STARTLING EXPERIENCE.
Riding ina Train without an En.i-
neer, a Fireman or a Conductor.
nar,r-n,.

One OF the most singular and almost
unexplainable accidents ever recorded
occurred on the Circle Railroad last
evening. A few minutes before nine
o'clock, as the last train was leaving
the exposition, with five passengers,
Engineer Jenkins saw what he sup
posed to be an obstruction on the track.
but not realizing in the darkness what
the obstruction was he noticed the
fireman and conductor, stepping at
the same time upon the footboard of
the engine, whence he was at once vi
olently thrown to the ground. The
fireman and conductor, named Harris,
Immediately jumped. The engine,
freed from restraint, fairly flew along
the track with constantly accelerated
velocity, sweeping around curves and
over trestles with frightful speed, like
some fiery monster of the night, for
three miles and half. Two of the
passengers jumped from the train, the
remaining three, two gentlemen and a
lady, maintaining their positions Un-
harmed. In an incredibly short space
of time the train reached the Larimer
Street Depot, striking with terrible
force an empty passenger car standing
on the end of the track and forcing it
bodily through the fruit stand in the
northern part of the station, making
a complete wreck of it and its contents
and coming to standstill just as the
forward end of the car reached Lari-
mer street, wrecking the car com
pletety and demolishing the tender of
the engine.
The engine itself did not seem to be
badly injured and the car which shar-
ed its wild flight escaped with the loss
of it's platform. The three passengers
seemed none the worse for their shak-
ing up. Conductor Harris, although
severely injured, was resting easy at
midnight. So far as is known no one
else was injured, as the train miracul-
Ously kept the track and met with no
obstacles at the numerous crossings it
was compelled to cross in its mad ca

How TOrnadOes Are Predicted.

II. G. Maine, of the Rochester
Democrat, predicted the tornadoes of
week before last. He now explains his
system as follows:
The great sun storm which became
visible Saturday by the suns rotation
made an immediate impression upon
our meteorology, as the storm reports
of Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in
dicate. This sun storm is of enormous
extent, and its effects on the earth
have been terrific.
Now for a few facts in regard to our
predictions For five years we have
faithfully observed the sun, and dur
ing three years have photographed it.
During that time we have noticed that
violent storms and tornadoes on the
earth have invariably followed the adj
vent of violent storms on the sun. We
have noted, too, that the reign of tor
nadoes moves northward as the sum-

Is it ASiatic Cholera!
WHAT OUR CONSUL AT SMYRNA SAYS.

WHAT OUR CONSUL AT SMYRNA SAYS.
WASHINGTON, Aug w. Z.
Stevens, United States Consul at
Smyrna, writes the National Board of
Health under date of July 13 last as
follows:
''The news from Egypt is less alarm
ing than at the time of my last report
Facts have come to light tending to
show that the disease, which is
decTmating the population of Danietta,
is not Asiatic cholera, but a malig
nant local distemper caused b. the
filthy condition of the town and the
unclean habits of its lower classes,
whose principal articles of food is fish
caught from water polluted and
poisoned by being used as receptacle
for all the carcaSses Of diseased
animals, ETC. During the British Oc-
cupation many animals perished, and
their bodies were dumped into the
water regardless of consequences.
This theory is strengthened by the fol
lowing facts:
Il. The disease first made its ap-
pearance in Damietta on the 4th of
June, but was not made public until
the goth, at which time the death rate
became too large for longer conceal
ment.
''2. The mortality is confined almost
wholly to natives, who disregard in
their mode of living all sanitary re-
quirements.
g. The disease is limited to a small
territory.
Il. Its previous course on the sup
position it is Asiatic cholera cannot be
traced
IS. The disease does not spread
with the rapidity of Asiatic cholera
In 1865 cholera was only two days
III travelling from Damietta to Alex
andria. may add, some of the best
physicians in Smyrna do not regard
the present scourge in Egypt as
cholera. With stringent measures
taken to confne it within its present
limits it is fair to assume its ravages
will not be much further extended,
the death rate shows little
diminution as yet"
