We publish elsewhere a letter from Mayor
Wakefield of Bath relative to the refusal of
Gov. Robbie and the council to appoint Mr..
James Bailey special constable to enforce
the liquor law in the city of Bath. If the
statements Mr. Wakefield makes in regard
to Mr.. Bailey are true no honest and sincere
friend of temperance will claim for mo-
ment that Mr.. Bailey is proper person to be
charged with the execution of any law, much
less with the enforcement of a law which af-
ords frequent opportunities to repeat prac-
tice which he is alleged to have been addicted
to in the past. We are informed that substan-
italy the allegations made in Mayor Wake
fields letter was made at the hearing before
the Governor and Council. 1t is not sufficient
answer to these allegations to say as does
the Bridgton News that we know Mr.
Bailey and therefore disbelieve them. If
they are not true tie man who makes them
Is guilty of very grave offense for which
he deserves severe punishment, and the best
thing the friends of Mr.. Bailey can do is to
urge him to bring a suit in the courts against
Mr.. Wakefield. Ifhe does so and it clearly ap-
peers, as Mr.. Bailey's friends say, that the
charge against him has no foundation then
Gov. Robbie should appoint him liquor con-
stable for Bath. But until Mr.. Bailey's in
nocence is clearly shown Gov. ROBBIE and his
Council would expose themselves to severe
and well deserved censure should they COM
NIT the enforcement of the liquor law in
Bath to his keeping.

A short time ago DR.. Englewood of Belfast
was appointed pension examiner by Commits
sioner Black. A few days ago he was not-
fed that his appointment had been revoked
and instructed to surrender his commission.
No charges were made against him and no
explanation offered. Naturally enough the
doctor is indignant. DR.. Bird of Stockton, a
brother of District Attorney Bird, succeeds

The Attorney General explains that when
the Pan-Electric Company was given per-
mission to bring suit against the Bell Tele-
phone Company in the name of the United
States he was away and knew nothing about
the affair. Solicitor General Goode, who
gave the permission, admits that he did not
refer the matter to the Interior Department
for its opinion, as has been customary in
matters of that kind. 1t is evident that these
statements are not sufficient, in view of the
fact that Garland had large interest in
the Pan-Eleetric Company, which was doubt
less known to the Solicitor General, to
justify the transaction, and the President did
the proper thing in suggesting the withdraw
al of the suit.

4 Great Benefactor of women.

Lydia E. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass, is
often spoken of as the great benefactor of
women and frequently receives letters like
the one we quote from, written by a lady
in San Francisco, she says: 81 am taking
your Vegetable Compound and find great
benefit from it, II has done me more good
then all the DoctorS." Mrs. T., of Vim
cennes. Ind, writes: "Having taken II
bottles of your Vegetable Compound and
cured by its use, feel very anxious that
every woman afflicted with Womb Disease
should make use of it. Another lady in
birmingham, Mich, was suffering from
weakness and displacement. She says:
81 began taking your Compound and it
helped me so soon, l feel like proclaiming
to the World its great virtues as a healing
agent for women"

HATS AND BONNETS.


and Dressy.
From present indications it is safe to
infer that hats are going to be worn by
misses and even youthful matrons in
preference to bonnets. One of the
novelties in black straw is bound about
its brim with putting of black velvet. Ii
is trimmed very full in front, of high
crown with gold net tissue, covered
over with black lace and a large cluster
of buds and roses, intcrmingled with
straw lilies of the valley and gildcd
grasses and wild oats, creating very
dressy effect.
One OF the eccentric hats has one side
in shape OF crescent, while the other
side is formed like bent full moon.

crescent side, which is filled in with
high ornament of peculiar birds head
and wings and tufts of ostrich feathers.
These irregular sides are faced with
velvet and the moon portion is decor
ated with gold gauze ribbon, with velvet
stripes, put on in loops and knots
Ostrich plumes are not often used,
still they are sometimes seen on stylish
hats, as in one of brown and rold
straw, with high crown and brim turned
down on one side and up on the other.
faced and trimmed with velvet and
showing in front q cluster of five TIPS
with one long plume passing over the
side Of the crown and reaching down to
the brim in the back.
Another hat, with rather lower crown
and rolling brim, corded at edge of
brim with gold, has band of velvet
about crown and is trimmed in front
with a profusion of variegated velvet
leaves, a chenille basket holding
humming birds in illuminated hues, one
of the charming birds resting upon the
handle of the chenille basket.
A charming little bonnet in todue
shape is covered with cloth of gold put
on full over frame covered with gar
net or red silk, so that the shades are
most effective. The brim is pulled and
the trimming consists of gauze leaves
embroidered in colors and veined with
gold, small scarlet flowers, with gold
and green leaves and a branch of gilded
wild oats standing over the flowers.
For visiting, becoming bonnet has
the front of Alicante velvet in large
puff. The crown is formed of net,
covered with lace appliqued, with
velvet circles embroidered with gold
thread. A large rosette of ostrich TIPS,
tlecked with gold and gold aigrette in
its center, finishes this stylish bonnet.
Still another odd bonnet has front in
V shape. The brim is formed of velvet,
laid in folds on inside and outside. each
fold being secured by an ornamental
gold-headed pin, so the effect is as il
the brim was finished with curiouslv
carved gold beads. Inside a cluster of
velvet leaves and flowers are arranged.

GARDEN CULTURE.
Horse Cultivation Vastly Superior to Hand
Culture.

Horse Cultivation Vastly Superior to Hand
Culture.
An inquirer wishes to know what gar
den crops can be cultivated with horse
according to the plan which we recon-
mended on a former occasion, and
whether it will not be still necessary to
perform much of the labor by hand.
He supposes that corn and potatoes are
about the only crops capable of horse
culture
In answer to his inquiry, we may state
that there are very few crops which may
not be cultivated with a horse; and if
the garden is quite oblong, with a strip
or area at each end ten feet wide for the
horse to turn about on, the work may
be done rapidly and efficiently, leaving
more mellow surface than can be
made with hand culture. First, among
the crops which may he thus treated,
are all the small fruits. Strawberries
in narrow rows, may have two feet
space between them for the passage of a
fine tooth narrow cultivatOr. Blackber-
rics and rdspberries, pinchcd down
within two or three feet of the ground,
and with the side shoots pinched within
a foot or so of the main stems, will al
low the free passage of the horse. and
the operator not be caught by stray
Cling branches or neglected bushes.
Gooseberries and currants are of course
easily managed.
Nearly all garden vegetables may be
planted in single or double rows, and
require but little hand labor in the rows
to keep them clean, as they soon shade
and smother all weeds in the rows.
Beets and turnips, carrots and parsnips
may be easily and cheaply raised in
double rows; but when there is plenty
of space, and land is cheaper than la
Dor, they may be planted in single
drills and require almost no hand la
Dor. Plants with runners, like cucum-
bcrs and melons, may be cultivated in
the same way through the early part of
the season, and the treatment continued
longer by drawing the running stems
all in the direction of the rows until
they become too large and numerous,
and after that but little cultivation is
needed. Even the smaller vegetables,
as lettuce, radishes and onions, may be
raised in double rows and cultivated
with horse implem ents, and the fire.
quent cultivation the soil will thus re-
ccive will give a finer and more luxu-
RANT growth.
The chief trouble with the old and
common mode of cultivati no vegetable
gardens by farmers is that they are too
busy with farm work Just at the time
when the garden requires attention :;
the weeds are neglected a week too
late, and the whole work is given up.
Gardens are pronounced too expensive,
and the family is deprived of those
wholesome and delicious luxuries which
would contribute so much to economy
and health. But where the acre of
garden is as easily kept clean as an acre
of corn or potatoes in the field, there is
nothing to prevent a weekly attention
to it. The weeds should never show
themselves, and the crops having entire
possession of the clean. mellow soil,
are furnished in abundance and delicious
in quality. - Country Gentleman.
