-BAYARD's FISHERY POLICY
HURTS THE DEMOCRATS.
The returns from Maine indicate Repuo-
lican plurality of from 10000 to 14Ooo
for Joseph r. Bodwell for Governor,
from 5000 to 5000 more than was
looked for this year. The Republican
delegation to Congress has been reelected.
The fight in the Ist District
against Mr. Reed resulted in largely increasing
his plurality. From two-t thirds to three-fourths
Of the members of the Legislature
are Republicans thus making the elec-
ton of Republican United States Senator
certain. In fourteen or fifteen OF the
sixteen counties the Republicans have
elected most or all of the county
officers. While the total vote this year is smaller
than in Presidential years, it is large for
an "of" year. The Republican plurality
has been decreased in some countlcs'
but in many parts of the State
it is larger than in 1884. The third party vote
will reach about $500.
Mr.. Blaine is well pleased with the result.
The returns from the towns in which he spoke
show that the unexpectedly large Republican
plurality is due, in considerable measure,
to the striking manner in which he brought out
| the issues of the canvass. The returns show
that Secretary Bayard's fishery policy cut down
| the Democratic vote.

Interesting Charge to a Jury.

.Wbat is a detective?" is a conun-
drum that was solved by Judge Elwell
in a late charge to Columbia Coun-
ty (Pa.) jury. 1T is not necessary"
said the judge, THAT a detective should
be a person appointed under statute
law. 1t is not necessary that he should
be an official with commission from
the executive, nor that he should be
charged with the duty of detective
by any body of men organized for that
purpose. II there are depredations
being committed in any neighborhood
the persons there have the right to em-
plov one especially to look after their
interests and to detect and expose the
crimes committed. Where it becomes
necessary. to break up a combination
of criminals detective may assume
the role of a thief; he may dress in the
garb of a thief; he may mix with
thieves; he may participate with them
in all their adventures; he may coun-
sci and encourage the commission OF
crime: but all this must be done hon
estly." The Judge further remarked
that a detective is not bound to be .
prosecutor. He is to detect, so that
those interested may prosecute. "-CAt.

unknown to her. but they soon gathered
that the helpless woman was the only
living creature on board. Bymeans OF
a rope from shore and with the assist
ance of the recurring waves. the vessel
was pulled as far up on the beach as
practicable and made fast.
Still. however, the distance between
the vessel and the land was great. The
fishermen put rope around the
woman's waist and threw it to land.
They next lifted her over the bow and
gave her hold of the rope by which the
vessel had been drawn toward the
shore. and which was there held taut
by willing hands. Suspended in mid
air. this much tried woman of sixty
wears actually scrambled hand over
hand for distance of several yards
until relieved by two men from the
shore, who. standing up to their mid
die in the water, caught her in their
arms. She was carried ashore nearly
dead with terror and exhaustion.
The people gave her food and rest.
She gained strength rapidly and was
taken soon to the mainland, and thence
by steamer to Hull. Thence hither by
rail. Here she found telegram
awaiting her from the manager of the
Roval Aquarium i'm London offering to
pay her f1O week and expenses to
come to the aquarium. All she would
have to do would be to receive visitors.
The proposal was at once declined.-

DIR. Loomis' statements before the
New York Medical Society concerning
the danger of overtraining in college
gymnasiums are not novel, but they
are decidedly timely; and coming from
so distinguished source, they will
doubtless have some effect. All college
authorities, and even the students
themselves, have known of late years
that if training was overdone, heart
and lung troubles were sure to follow.
They always have said that in their
own particular institutions care was
taken that overtraintng should not
occur.-N. 7. Tribune.

Some years ago l had occasion to
spend the night in the little town OF
Red Wing. Minnesota. l was given
lodging by Deacon Rogers. an estima.
bic gentleman, who, although was an
absolute stranger to him. entertained
me to the best of his knowledge and
ability. After an early tea was taken
upstairs to the spare bedroom, which
was to be my apartment for the night.
The only thing l remember about the
room other than its musty flavor was
the spare bed-a large four-posted af-
fair. whose coverlids were Of such
snowy whiteness and immaculate

lege to disturb them: but a tired man
has little conscience, and hastily dis
missed my scruples and, turning out
the light, scrambled between the sheets.
The pillows were large and soft. and
the mattress was hard and unyieldng.

it stuck to me the whole of the night.

alternately rolling up hill and then
rolling down again, the way you do in
a sleeping car on Southern Indiana

The next morning the deacon asked
me how had spent the night. Dis
liking to be thought ungrateful, l told
him that had never slept better.
How did you like the bed?' asked
Mrs. Rogers.
Never slept in ono I liked better.
1 replied.
A year or so afterward, while making
another trip through the Northwest, I
met at the house of friend in St. Paul
some people whose faces seemed
strangely familiar to me. We were
talking of that section of the country.

Weren't you up this way about two
years ago?"
admitted that had been.
You stopped with Deacon Rogers in
Red Wing?"
Deacon Rogers, Deacon Rogers l
repeated. 20. yes! he is the man who
had that awful bed.'
"What about the bed?" asked the
lady, as she exchanged significant
glances with an elderly gentleman.
Then with rare and radiant idiocy
proceeded to describe as vividly as
could the terrible tortures endured on
that frightful night. When l had
finished, the lady remarked sententious.

house, the owner of which had a power
full and sagacious dog called Major.
This dog was highly priced by his
master and by the people of the neigh
borhood. He had saved many lives.
Once when a swing-rope became en-
tangled around the neck of little girl.
Major held her up until help came.
One day the butcher brought in his
bill for Majors provisions. Majors 5
master thought it altogether too large,
and shaking the paper angrily at the
dog, he said:
sSee here, old fellow, you never ate
all that meat-did you?'
The dog looked hard at the bill.
shook himself all over, regarded the
butcher with contempt, and then went
back to his rug, where he stretched
himself out with low growl of dis
satisfaction.
The next Sunday. just as service
began at the village church. into my
friends pew vaulted Major.
The Major kept perfectly quiet until
we all arose for prayer: then he sprang
upon the seat; stood on his hind-legs,
placed his fore-paw upon the front OF
the pew behind, and stared gravely and
reproachfully into the face of the
butcher. who looked very much con-
fused. and turned first red and then
pale. The whole congregation smiled
and Uttered. Majors master at once
took the dog home. But the butcher
was more considerate in his charges
from that time. Evidently he felt
mortified and conscience-strieken.--
