CHAIRMAN BROWN AS TRUTHFUL

1t will be remembered that during the last
campaign the Democrats advertised grand
demonstration at Maranocook. The thous-
ands who should gather there were to be en-
tertained and instructed by the Hon. Patrick
A. Collins Of Massachusetts, d. ]. McGilli-
cuddy, Esq, OF Lewiston, Harris NJ. Plaisted
of Augusta, E. F. Pillsbury of Boston, Col.
Clark S. Edwards of Bethel, and the rising
young statesman from the First District.
William Fl. Clifford. 1t will also be remem-
bered that the rank and file did not 90 to
Maranocoek during that day: that a lone
newspaper man occupied the whole train
from Portland; that not more than $50 peo-
pie gathered at Maranocook; that of all the
speakers advertised Mr.. McGillicuddy alone
was present and that heis said to have gone
fishing when he saw the smallness of the
crowd; and finally that Chairman Brown ex-
planned to the disappointed handful of DEM
Ocrats that the State committee were not re-
sponsible for the rally, which, he explained.
had been arranged by caterer who wanted
to sell sandwiches and turnovers to hungry
Democrats. At the time TIL explanation
was accepted, and the one hundred and fifty

that it was Chairman Brown, himself, who
sold them. The rally was not only planned
by the Democratic State committee, but
Chairman Brown sent out to all the town

invitation" writes Mr.. Brown, ''and bring

Your personal presence at the meeting is es-

The New York Sun of Thursday morning
published telegraphic despatch from Sara
toga, which stated that the undertaken who
embalmed General Grants body was about
to sue w. j. Arkell, on whose orders the en-
balming was done, for his pay. The bill, for
$500, had been presented to all the members
of the Grant family, but Mrs. Grant, and by
them disowned. Mr.. G. A. Dana attached
to the despatch short paragraph, request
ing the undertakers to send the hill to the
epitor of the Sun, who would pay it,
A new counterfeit was brought to light at
the United States Sub-Treasury in Baltimore
a few days ago. A somewhat worn ten-dol-
lar government bill was presented at the
cashiers window with request for change,
which was given. The note was sent to
Washington as mutilated currency, and was
returned with the information that one side
of the note was good, but the other side was
a well executed counterfeit of the original.
1t was found that genuine ten-dollar bill
had been split the face being separated from
the back, a seemingly impossible undertak-
ing The original face with a counterfeit
back had been used.

If President Cleveland is proceeding at al

According to the Boston Post, some of the
wise women of that city have set the
fashion of leaving their hats and bonnets in
the cloak room of the theatre and sitting
through the performance with nothing on
their heads but what nature and the hair
dressers provide. Men who have been ac-
customed to twist their necks into the shape
of a letter S, to see the stage, highly approve
the reform.

Virgins has left Ottawa, the dispatches
say, to escape popular indignation. 1t is
more probable, however, that he has cleared
out to still keep himself before the public
AS long as Virgins Whereabouts are un
known the newspapers will endeayor to dis
cover them and thus he will get as many
free notices as if he were predicting earth
Quakes and hurricanes. The prominence
that this individual has succeeded in obtain
ing is phenominal. There was never any
reason to place any confidence in what he
said about the weather. He possessed no
more scientific knowledge that nine-tenths
OF the men one meets on the street. His pre-
dictions were simply guesses, and the most of
them turned out to be rather poor guesses.
Nevertheless he has succeeded in frighteI-
ing great many people all over the United
States and Canada, good many of them in
telligent people too, who ought to have
known better than to put particle of de-
pendence in his talk. He is uader a cloud
now, but year hence should he promulgate
another prediction we suppose he will
again inspire with terror as many people
as before.
The new prohibition law in Rhode Island,
appears to be doing considerable good, albe-
it its enforcement is not yet what it should
be. The entire number of arrests in Provi-
dence during the last three months is fully
thirty-fve per cent, less than for the CORES
ponding three months of last year when the
law was not on the statute book At such
rate as the new law has started off with,
there will be about 1000 less arrests year
than has been the record of late. The num-
Der of drunkards the past three months is al
most so per cent. less than for the same quar-
tel of last year, and, although it may be hint
ed that the perplexity of the dealers at the
beginning of the new law helped this nat
urally, an inspection of the figures for
the month of September, as compared with
September of last year, does not prove this
The average number of drunkards for each
quarter in the past three years varies from
1882 to 1897, which is fully 80 per cent. great
er than for the quarter ending with this last
September. Again, the average of common
drunkards each quarter for the past three
years varies from 25 to 80. For the three
months of prohibition the number of COM
mon drunka-ds was about one-fourth of the
number for the three months corresponding
one year ago. and about 80 per cent. of the
general average.
