DR.. Holt stated that the object of the cor

the nob}est of charities,-an infrmary where
the poor of the State of Maine might obtain
free treatment for the diseases of the eye and
ear. This treatment if secured at early stages
of the diseases, ,averts calamities which .statis-

He Gave Them Fits.

During the greenback craze gentleman
who is now one of the supreme judges of
Maine, was making a brilliant hard money
speech before large audience. Among his
listeners was young man in delicate health,
who was subject to violent paroxysms of
pain. AT the moment when the orator was
making one of his most telling points, the
young man was seized with commissions. The
audience, aware of the frequency Of the at
tacks, was SO much interested in the speech
that no attention was paid to the sufferer,
but the speaker was considerably diseon-
certed, and turning to one of the State COM
mittee, who occupied the platform with him
inquired in half-whisper; ''Shall 60 on?"
SEQ on? of course you are giving them fits. -

A Kingiy Bandit.

SATILLo, Mex, Feb. 15-Great prepara-
tions are going on in Cohahuila for the in
auguration of the recently elected civil gov
ernor, General Gazo Colon. After term of
over year and half under military rule
the State of Cohahula will be turned over by
the military governor general, Ceroantes, to
the civil authorities. The policy of the civil
government, however, will probably be iden-
titled with that pursued by the military, as
the governor elect is a strong supporter OF
the administration and will accede to all de-
mands of the federal government: The peo-
pie, however, are generally rejoicing, as 70
outward appearance they are again allowed
to choose their rulers. A commission OF ON
GERS sent from Bacatecar by the government !
to sreat for surrender with the noted bandit
leader, Eralica Bernal, has returned, having
been successful in its mission. The chief
demanded as the conditions of surrender
pardon for himself and band, bonus OF
$4,000 for himself, and to be allowed TO re-
tain an armed escort of % men, or to be ap
pointed to a position in the army command
ing a district of SinalOa.

Would it not be well for the police to pay
a little attention to the drunkenness and
carousing on India street and the neighbor-
hood of the Grand Trunk depot every Sun
day. Itseems to get worse and worse and is
now so bad that respectable women are al
most afraid to so to church because they
have to pass the corner where so many
drunken loafers are lounging around, max
ing use of the most vile language.
There are several rum shops in this vicin-
ity. also number of tipping shops where
cider is sold, and they must be dong a
thriving business on the Lords Day. The
residents in the neighborhood are getting
alarmed and bitterly complain of the want
of police protection. Last Sunday free

Constable Corte Uses Revolver
Freely at Dance.
BANGOR, Me-, Feb. ia serious shooting
affray occurred at Glenburn Centre, nine
miles from this city, tonight. There was a
dance in the hall there, attended by about
forty couples. Among the crowd were VIM.
Fl. Lee, %, and Frederick Lee, IS (brothers),
and a constable of the town named Fred.
Corte. The father of the two Lees, from
whom the information was obtained, says
that during the evening Corte attempted to
put young man out of the hall. Frederick
Lee interfered, whereupon a dispute arose
and Corte drew revolver and shot him.
The bullet struck him in the region of the
groin. Corte then turned to leave the hall,
followed by the crowd. When passing down
the stairs, Corte turned and fired into the
crowd, striking VIM. II. Lee in the hand,
where the bullet lodged. Physicians hav e

Rain Set it on Fire,

Sunday morning, at about o'clock, fire
was discovered in one of the wOodsheds
back of the new corporation houses in Madi-
son, which caught fire under unique circum-
stances. Some time ago several casks of lime.
were placed in the shed upon the ground,
which during the thaw became flooded with
water, causing the lime to slack. which de-
veloped heat enough to set the barrels on
fire. Some carpenters brackets piled upon
the barrels caught fire, and when discovered
the shed itself commenced to burn, but as it
had got under but little headway it was soon
put out. The shed stands within rod Of

Escaping Gas.

Two Lewiston people, Arthur Anger and
his sister, came near adding another to the
list of fatal catastrophes from escaping coal
gas, the other evening. Mr.. Anger and his
sister were sleeping in different compart-
ments of room heated by coal stove, and
as the night was chilly the windows in both
compartments were closed. Mr., Anger shut
the back damper before the gas from the
stove had escaped, and retiring, slept until
awakened towards morning by frightful
sense of suffocation. He attempted to rise,
but could not. His arms would not sustain
him. He could hardly lift his head from the
pillow, He called out as loudly as he could,
and finally succeeded in awakening his sister
The fumes of the gas had not affected her SO
seriously as they had affected him, and ullS sne
after several futile attempts in WHICH she
fell several times, was able to reach the door
from her room and throw it open Help was
then summoned and Mr. and Miss Anger
were both renewed to place of safety.

OF that State not to embarrass the
commonwealth by seeking to force
coupons into the treasury in payment
Of taxes. The forbearance on the
part of the taxpayers is, be says. de-
maRded by the highest considerations
Of patriotism and public policy. The
Governor recognizes apparently that
he is urging the people to make a
"sacri6ce" in asking them to refrain
from usiOg coupons 10 payment q
taxes. OF course, il the citizens Of
the State had not the legal right to
tender these payment OF taxes the
