Female Orphan Asylum.

The annual meeting of the Female Orphan
Asylum was held yesterday afternoon, the
President, Mrs. j. L. Farmer, presiding.
The reports, of which we Igive abstracts, as
follows, were accepted:
MANAGERS REPORT.
Sixteen children have been received into
the asylum and eight have been placed with
families the past year and the thirty-four
children in the home are generally thriving
During the last summer hopping cough in an
epidemic form passed through the household
This illness prevented our availing ourselves
of the tempting offer of two kind friends to
give our little ones ian outing, ito peculiarly
lovely situation on Cape Elizabeth. So with
the exception of an excursion down the har-
Dor before the illness came on, and day at
Lake Maranocook after it had passed away
they have been in the city through the year.
We have many kindness to acknowledge,
helpful gifts and thoughtful acts. To all we
offer our sincere and hearty thanks and to
our treasurer, Mr.. f. r. Barrett, for his skill
and foresight
This is one of the city's earliest charities
and should be dear to the hearts of its people.
For fifty-eight years in quiet way, it has
done we believe and trust great good, and
for fifty-eight years to come, and longer, we
hope its work will go on, its usefulness in
creased by larger resources But to secure
this each generation must give of its means,
its youth and it's vitality. So do not deem
US importunate if we ask for new sub
scribers to sustain and strengthen this
orphans home.

The doctors said the cause was
sCROFULoUs HUMOR IN THE BLOOD
After time he could dot open his eye at all; the
humor grew worse and his face became sore
Then his left eye began to be affected, and
thought he would be entirely blind. 1 bought a
bottle of Hoods SarSaparllla just for trial.
What was my SurpaiSe, before the bottle was all
gone, his face had all healed up, and he could
open his eye Just a little bit, something he had
not done for four months He continued to take
it, and l am happy to say can now

He has left off the shade which he wore over his
eyes so long. 1 feel that if it had not been for
Hoods Sarsaparilla my child would have been
blind. cannot find words to praise it enough.

Declined With Thanks

Gideon J. Tucker, prominent politician
OF New York, received reliable though not
Off cial information of his appointment by
President Cleveland to examine and report
upon 100 miles of completed railroad in
Oregon, a line subsidized by vast tracts of
land. Mr.. Tucker anticipated the Presi-
dents appointment with letter declining
the honor, giving as his reason that the law
which provides for such commission is
one by which corrupt Congresses have in
late years given away to railroad capitalists
vast tracts of land belonging to the Aneri-
can people, subject only to a favorable re-
port from the commissioners to the Presi-
dent. Such favorable report, however just,
lies under the imputation OF having been
purchased, in view of the generous and
royal hospitality and courtesies usually ex-
tended by the railroad kings to the COM
mission when in performance Of their duty.
Being poor man, Mr.. Tucker concludes
he cannot afford to run the risk of such
asperson to his business integrity as might
result from his acceptance of the Pres idents
appointment.

An important conference vas held in
Philadelphia between the members of the
aid committee of the Philadelphia Manu-
facturers' Association and gene'al execu.
tive board of the knights of Labor, by
which the frankfort troubles ne practi-
cally settled. The Knights of Labor were
represented by General Master Workman
Powderly and Messrs. Hays, Aslesworth
and Carleton, of the general executive
board, while nearly all of the members of
the association committee We're present on
behalf Of the manufacturers. TheiKnights
OF Labor Withdrew all their grievances of
the strikers at Troth's Mill, with the
exception of one relating to the question of
wages, which will be referred to arbitration.
This was agreed to by the hid committee.
This practically settles the difficulties at
Troth's Mill. 1t was also agreed that the
general executive board Of knights of La.
Dor, in connection with the aid committee
of the Philadelphia Manufacturers Asso-
citation, have formulated set of rules
which shall govern them in the settlement
of all difficulties between either employees
and employers to the end of hereafter pre-
venting strikes and lockouts.

Whereas It is evident that many men are
willing to work but are prevented by the action
of labor organizations and
Whereas The packers are)rought face to face
with the fact that their menarc absolutely con-
trolled by such organizations; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we will no employ any man
who is a member OF said labm organization.
The principal cause of the trouble is the
demand Of the packers TINT ten hours shall

An Unwelcome Visitor

Peter kenney, employed rs telegraph
operator at Ingraham, station on the
Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Rail-
road, recently had an adventure that he
will not soon forget. He was engaged at
his instrument when he heard a noise as of
some one tying to open the door, but
thought nothing of it, nor even looked up
from his work until startled by touch on
bis coat sleeve. He partly turned around,
and to his horror saw tall gaunt figure
dressed in white, with a long knife III his
hand, standing directly over him. He
cleared slight railing surrounding his
