An OId.Fashi0ned Donation Party

The old-time custom of personally see-
ing that the minister's pork barrel is we'll
filled and that his wife shall have the
wherewithsl to construct pumpkin pies
and apple sauce is yet observed in some
OF the Maine towns. An esteemed cor
respondent, the well-known writer
Augusta Moore, who recently attended
such gathering, yclept pound party,
at the residence of Rev. John Dinsmore,
of Harpswell Neck, last Friday, sends an
account of how q party of noble and
happy men and women from Harpswell
and Orr's Island took possession of the
ministerial residence. "A finer look
ing assembly," says the writer. sis not
often seen. So many gold beads l never
before beheld at one party. Merriment,
hearty but refined, sped the hours.
"After well recovering from his sur.
prise and grateful emotion, the minister,
who is one of the earnest, faithful sort,
thanked his generous people, paying
them, in the course of his speech, high
compliment, as being an united, affec-
tionate, agreeable people. Then he
uttered heartfelt prayer for their tenn
poral and eternal welfare, and soou after
the disarmed company departed. On
repairing to the place where they had
stacked their arms an encouraging sight
appeared. Instead of guns and swords,
were things which sustain life, instead OF
destroying it. There were 25 pounds OF
pork and butter, so pounds of beans, 65
pounds Of sugar, 96 pounds of oats for
the horse, IL pounds OF butter, raisins,
rice, tea and spices amounting to Is
pounds. several kinds OF vegetables.
including two large pumpkins. barrels
Of apples, yarn aud gloves and flour. and
SIS 25 in money. ."-[Lewiston, Me. Jour-

"Now, see here" said constituent to
Colonel Mcbride. who is candidate for
the legislature, ''if you are elected are
you going up there and sell your vote for
paltry sum ?"
''No, sir, / am not"
"You won't sell out unless you get a
good price?"
"That's it, exactly"
won't snap up the first offer, when
by playing off little you can tap the
parties twice as heavy!"
"Of course not"
"What will be your lowest figure ?"
"Well l suppose my vote ought to be
worth $50 on the most unimportant
measure. On matters that will stand
more it will range higher of course.
Certainly. Now ia case OF railroad

"Will you give your support to any
measure without spot cash ?"

ing else, however"
That's what we want to hear. Now,
another point. In case you can get a

ted here, what are you going to do for
us?"

where it will do the most good"
you're the man for us and we will
elect you Your rival makes just as
good pledges about disposing of his vote,
but couldn't get him to promise to come
down for the good OF the town. He said
he wanted to save all he made to use in
getting elected another time. l don't
blame him for looking out for the future
but we have got to have some public i'm
provements to keep up with the other
towns. I'll tell the boys the promises
you make and you'll be elected all right

When, three years ago, two lakes in Lyme,
Conn were stocked with black bass, they swarm
ed with perch and pickerel. The bass have been
protected by law and have increased largely, but
the perch and piokerel have entirey disappeared

Like results, it would appear, have followed
wherever bass have been introduced. There wal
a time whom Lnho Roland swarnaed with SUI
perch and other small fish, but now, since the bass
have become numerous, it is rare thing to catch
fish of any other kind, and the angler meets with
poor success with the bass. The same is true OF
the Susquehanna river. But few years age
white and yellow perch were plentiful as far up
as Peach Bottom, but since the introduction OIL
bass one is rarely seen. About the only fish that
can hold his own against the bass is the cat fish
and these appear to be increasing rapidly.

Mg- The Chinaman Wong Gee, who died in
Baltimore last week, was buried in Baltimore
Cemetery on Sunday and the funeral proved to
be regular circus, as it was conducted in accor-
dance with the customs in vogue in China
Thousands of people turned out to see it and
make sport of it. Wong Gee professed to have
become Christian, yet as soon as death over
took him the heathenish tomfoolery was COM
menced and was kept up until after the body had
been deposited In the earth. The funeral cere-
monies were not only desecration of the Chris
ton Sabbath, but the authorities of Baltimore
Cemetery deserve the severest censure for allowed
that sacred ground to be desecrated it was upon

I'm answer to correspondent the Balti-
more american says according to the census OF
1880 there were in Maryland Ill 1897 persons ten
years of age and older who could not read, and
34,4SS who could not write. The per cent. was
considerably smaller than it was in 1870. There
were 695,364 persons of ten years of age and up
wards in Maryland in 1880. The statistics Of
illiteracy of the whole United States were Per-
sons unable to read, 1928 ,451 unable to write,

uation of nearly 60,000OO0.

&s- The twelve-hour street car bill passed the
Senate on Monday without dissenting vote,
and the Governor promptly signed it on We'd
nesday. After the passage of this bill the
railroad companies pushed their bill for the re-
duction of the park tax, hoping to have it passed
rs an offset to the twelve hour bill, but their
efforts proved fruitless the bill was unfavora
bly, reported from the committee on Wednesday,
and the unfavorable report was adopted. Now it
remains to be seen what the railroad companies
will do. Some of the managers already threaten
to run only half as many trips over their respec-
tive lines as at present, asserting that they can
not afford to employ the extra men necessary with
the limitation of twelve hours work. But these
matters will adjust themselves and it is not likely
that the public will be in any way inconvenienced.
