a VICIOUS YOUNG Brute.
The Remarkable Disposition of al
Eleven Year Old Boy.

The Remarkable Disposition of an
Eleven Year Old Boy.
PORTLAND, Me-, April 6.-John Faithful
FAIR, a boy not quite eleven years old who
lives on Long Island, Portland harbor, has
since his early childhood been possessed of
mania for killing animals and torturing
children At the age of four he killed all the
chickens he could find by swapping their
heads off. During the succeeding two years
he took to killing cats and other small
creatures, strangling them with strings.
When six years old he began to torture
children and the neighborhood became so in
censed at his actions that his grandmother
was compelled to move with him to Great
Chebeague Island Here he soon renewed his
malicious tricks, choking a poodle dog to
death, lowering girl into well from which
she was rescued at the last moment and pour
ing kerosene down another girls throat. For
all this he was punished only by sound
kicking. He then took to carrying long
pin with which he assaulted everyone he came
near and which he once thrust violently
into his grandmother while she was asleep.
Two years ago he attacked two children of an
army officers wife, who was visiting the
island. Shortly after cries of "murder"
were heard from his grandmother's cottage
and the fishermen neighbors found the boy
beating the old woman over the head as she
lay in bed. He escaped by jumping down
thirty foot cliff and was SO badly injured that
once more he escaped punishment After
that he continued his assaults upon his
grandmother, once using an ak and once
scythe. On Monday morning he attacked
her fiercely with a hammer. Her cries reused
the neighbors who came to her help in
body The young desperate fought his way
through the crowd, gained boat and rowed
off to a neighboring island where he is now
entrenched. He is five feet eight inches tall
and very powerful for lad of his age and is
expected to make desperate fight before be-
ing captured. If he returns to Great Chea-
beague he will be shot on sight.

He Passes Another Good Day-Wfth-
out Pain But Growing Weaker.
New York, April 6.-There was no ma
terial change in General Grants condition
to day. He enjoyed good nights rest and
appeared much refreshed and more cheerful
than usual He did not complain of any
pain and took his nourishment regularly and
with evident relief. The general spent
most of the day sitting in his easy chair lis
tening to the reading of the reports of his
condition from the morning papers, OCCASION
ally chatting with members of his family and
friends. Although the general does not ap
pear to suffer a. much ss be did few days
ago, he does not gain in strength and in the
opinion of persons who have seen him within
the past few days he Is growing weaker every
day. Among the many callers to-day were
General Badeau, Rev. DR.. Newman, ex-Sena-
TOT Chaffee, DIR. William A. Hammond, Cen
erals Hamilton and N. P. Banks.
There was no change in General Grants
condition during the evening. At O'Clock
a delegation from the United Order of Amer
lean Mechanics called at the house and pre-
sented a resolution of coincidence. Rev. DIR.
Newman left the house shortly after that
hour and in conversation said that in his
opinion the general was growing weaker all
the time. In regard to religion General
Grant expressed himself confident of the

The remarks of Miss Sheahan on the pro
posed kindergarten were very interesting.
The need of proper instruction is greater for
the blind than for those who see. To edu
cate fthe blind is to make them self
supporting and happy and to withhold edu
cation is to make them a burden to them
selves and to society. A short statement was
given of the first efforts in behalf of thu
blind and the events which led up to the es-
tablishment of the institution for the blind
in Massachusetts,; also the work of John d.
Fisher and DR.. Howe was described. The
latter was very enthusiastic in his work for
printing fund, which resulted in the plac
ing of embossed books in all the principal
libraries under Mr.. Anagnos. The school
has outgrown it's former proportions and
now primary school is absolutely necessa-
ry. 1t is not possible to paint the misery of
the little. blind children. All that is neces
sary is that the people become acquainted
with the movement TO feel the need of the
school for the education of the blind. Fol
the present plan the sum of $3.50, 900 is need
ed More than $50, 900 has been raised by
private contributions and Connecticut is
now called upon to second Massachusetts III
