Corpus Christi.

A correspondent writes us as fol-
lows:
The glorious feature of Corpus
Christi is the magnificent breeze
which constantly, with the exception
of a few hours morning and evening,
blows from the gulf and renders the
nights invariably cool and pleasant.
The country between here and
Laredo is identical with that on the
international near Laredo, only a
little more so. Corpus Christi is
about like the fellow said who wrote
home that he had found place
"where it was Sunday every day in
the week"
Work for the S. A. & A. P. r. R.
is being pushed right along and the
trestle- work across the reef above
town is already partly built and some
of the track laid. think Corpus
Christi will be popular place to re-
create and on the completion of the
road hosts of people will flock to this
point to disport themselves by the
sea.

THE LOAD WAS TOO HEAVY,
President SImOns' Retirem ent from the
Franklin County Bank.
GREENFIELD, Mass, Oct. .

GREENFIELD, Mass, Oct. 2.
The resignation of Henry X. Simons pres
ident of the Franklin County Bank, was a
surprise to his many friends, but any story of
alleged crookedness does him the deepest
injustice. He at present holds $40 shares
OF the Franklin County Bank stock,
bought at $780, which today is
not worth over 500 a share. He has
held the stock several wears with the
hope of realizing somewhere near what he
paid, but it deprecated until he could no
longer carry the load, and voluntarily ten
dered his resignation, which has been accept
ed. John Sanderson OF Bernardston has
been appointed his successor. The difference
between the purchase price of $40 shares of
stock at an average of $3.50 per share and its
present price and loss Of dividends represents
what Simons has lost in consequence of this
depreciation.
In an interview this afternoon Mr.. Smons
said his stock had deprecated, and the bank
had. in consequence, suffered heavy losses in
the past few years, and been compelled to
pass dividends until he felt that he could no
longer carry his load. "There is no crooked
ness" said he, sin my affairs in any form
whatever, and the bank examiner will state
that they are fair and square. Ny property
today ontside the bank is worth more than il
has been in three years. My resignation
was purely voluatarily."
Postmaster Charles Keith, one of the bank
directors, makes a statement colncident with
the above. President Simons is one of oul
most highly respected citizens, and com
mands public trust and confidence.

ANOTHER FIREBUG.

Three Fires-PrOmpt Work Saves Sc

LEWISTON, Oct. 2.
Three mysterious incendiary fires have oc-
Cured here within 4 week, all in Mr.. Cronin's
buildings. One of them was last Tuesday
another on Wednesday, and the third was
on Saturday morning, when the firebug was
caught. He proved to be a small boy, about
eight years of age. The boy upon being
questioned, said he set the fires so he could
other things, has charge of two of the largest
wooden tenement houses in Lewiston. One
of them holds sixty or seventy people. The
other, which ha, been rebuilt within short
time, is densely populated. In these houses
the fires occurred. The first fire occurred in
the last of the above mentioned buildings,
the other two in the first mentioned. Mr..
Cronin, since the first fire, has been on the
watch, aided by his family. Saturday morn
ing he went out after breakfast. On his re-
turn home he saw that the entry was deluged
with water and the walls and ceiling black
with smoke. His daughter said that about
ten minutes after he left she opened the door
into the hallway and there, in one corner,
a bushel of shavings and pile of pine wood
were blazing. TWAS extinguished with great
difficulty. In rushing to the door for help
she caught sight of boy hiding behind the
building. Later she caught him and he con-
fessed to setting the three fires.

A Promise FuInlIed,

little more than year ago we published
IN these columns notice of the discovery of
Sheridsns Condition Powder to make hens
lay. In making that announcement we re-
lied wholly upon the character and reputation
of the manufacturers. To our own mind, at
that time. the idea of making hens Law the
year round by artificial or any other means,
seemed absurd, but we have since learned
that it can be DONE The notice alluded to
above attractive universal attention, and
thousands of people, while not believing that
Sheridan's Powder could accomplish all that
was claimed for il, thought it was at least
worth trial. The trial was made during
December. January and February. No 9TH
er months could have been selected which
would have given this Powder so severe a
test, for everybody who keeps hens knows
that they will not lay during these months ex-
cept in rare cases. But the result OF this
trial was most satisfactory and conclusive.
Hundreds of those who made the trial re-
ceived from Is to "a eggs per hen per month,
while many got one egg dsy from each hen.
The price of eggs during December, Janua-
ry and ebruary last, averaged 80 10 35 cents
per dozen. Thus IL will be seen that a verv
few hens each laying an egg day would sup
port small family. |. s. johnson & Co, of
