Internal Revenue Commissioner Miller
declares that the Republican proposition
to repeal the taxes on alcohol used in the
arts and manufactures is impracticable,
but what he says signifies nothing. There
is 4 chance there to reduce the Govern
ment income almost 81, 1000, 200, and it
should be taken advantage of by Congress.
This isn't the first time Commissioner
Miller has spoken without knowing what
he was talking about. His real objection
TO the Republican proposition is because
that would take away one of Cleveland's
strong Free Trade arguments.

HOUttOH.
The "Houlton Sewerage Company, /"
chartered by the legislature, has lust been
organized, and the following officers elected :
IL. T. Frisbie, President; Charles p. Tenney,
Vice President; j. Frank Holland, Secretary
and Treasurer. In addition to the above the
following gentlemen are members of the
board: Frederic A. Powers, Clarence n
Pierce. The works are to be built from
plans furnished by A. W. Forbes, C. E., of
Boston, Mass, the consulting engineer of the
company, and the local engineering is in
charge of Chas. f. F. Stetson, G. f. of
HoultOn. 1t has finally been decided to
undertake the work with the employment of
local labor, under the superintendent of
Mr.. John ii. Flanagan of Portland an ex-
perienced builder. The sewerage lines will
be started in Main ST., from the East, oppo-
site the residence of Almon II. Fogg; in
hill and in Market So, near the western
limit; all to be united at the junction of
Mechanic ST., with Main, and carried down
Mechanic St, to a settling tank upon the
flats, and thence the liquid sewerage be con-
Quoted into the river. The materials for
construction are already largely on hand, the
engineering work has been actively prose-
cuted in actual details during the past week,
and Mr.. Flanagan has arrived to-day to
enter upon his duties. The full plans cover
an extention of lines including school, Kel-
leran, High Park, Military, Pleasant, and
intersecting streets, and it is hoped that a
portion of these may be brought in during
the present season, though just how much
has not been decided yet.

Capt. Rufus Randall died very suddenly at
his residence Friday afternoon. He had
eaten hearty dinner, and then assisted in
getting in load of hay on his place. Soon
afterwards he was found dead, probably from
heart disease. Capt. Randall was an old-time
ship master having been in the employ of
Briggs and Gushing for many years. He
was master of the bark Oasis for long time,
and later was in command of the ship John
A, Briggs. He was well known in Portland,

Burnham & Morrill, last year put up TO-
600 cases of canned baked beans, each case
containing two dozen quart cans. Most of
these were sold in the West, 5000 or 1000
cases going to the Chicago market alone
This year the firm propose to put up about
25 600 cases, more than double the pack of
last year. This is only small part of their
big business, for last year they put up IL 900
cases of Lima beans, the raw material COM

$50, 900 cases of green corn, besides variety

Judge Gary, the judicial jester, has been
making his friends laugh with o new
joke. Have you heard of the latest ab-
stract scheme? OF curse you have not,
and your curiosity concerning it is stimu-
lated to an extraordinary degree by the
solemn, almost mysterious air of the
judge, who asks you th9 question. "'Well,"
he says, after you have pressed him to
tell you, 1--WE are getting up n company
that will prepare n complete set of books
from the records of the courts, and be
ready to furnish abstracts of titles to men
and women. Say q woman wants to
MARI" = man whom she has not known
very long, and she wants to make sure
that lie has 10 wife living in Wisconsin
or Indiana, she comes to our company
and gets IN abstract of title on him that
will show her Just how many times he
has been married, how many times Gi-
voGcgd, how many wives he has had die,
what they died of, IND all about his
matrimonial career, II he has had one.
Tho abstracts, of course, will be quite
ne useful 10 the man who wants TO
kU"". what sort of n title he can get to
the woman he is about to marry, and in
every way the scheme will be n good one.
There is n great and an increasing demand
for just such an enterprise right here In

/, for one, have always innocently sup
posed that gold table utensils were what
they pretended to be, all gold; but lately
an expert and n dealer in old silver has
informed mo to thcC contrary. Even Vic
toria's royal gold plate is no better tEaa
it should be. For such n thing rs ':solid
gold' is totally unknown. l must say
this knowledge is n vast relief to me.
Burglars may labor under n like delusion,
and fancy any piece of gold plate is better
worth burgling than the best silverware
in the market. But we nave all made n
mistake. Tho finest gold service in cx-
iStence is but silver, washed with that
precious metal. 1t seems no less n person
than Mr.. James Keenc, when he returned
from England with the famous Ascot cup,
won by his horse FoXhall, also believed in
the solid business, for the trophy was
valued at So, 900 by the custom house OIL
cinls. Mr.. Keeno paid the duties on those
figures n his cup was deposited in u
place of safety. Shortly after came the
financial crash in Mr.. Keene's fortunes,
and he found it necessary to raise money
ON the Ascot cup. The first jeweler and
expert in New York was dispatched to tho
bank to examine, or rather to assay, its
intrinsic value. He found, to his own en-
tire satisfaction, that the /, 200 guinea cup
was worth precisely 5000, including
metals and the price of artistic workman

toms ever reimbursed Mr.. Keene my in

Partisan handles arc greatly exercised
in their minds just now rs to what style
of stick they ought to adopt during tho
season. They are tired of the gold
nob canes, the crutch canes and the

aspires to the dignity and dimensions of

which is the claw of n craylsh. The
article is already III the hands of many of

shall adopt for the season. AS furs are

riage prescribed is that of short steps
with the ''waggler of the little bird
known as the bergeronnette, or water

course, be rs graceful as possible, the
undulating sweep of tho hips being well
nccentuatcd. The Parisienne looks, rs q

times tempted to put in too much "wag-

A most wonderful invention is reported
from Vienna. An Austrian engineer has,
1t is said, designed u truck TO run before
every railway train, being maintained al
ways at n fixed Out adjustable distance
in front by the force Of an electric current
transmitted along the metals from q dy-
namoo on the engine. The current is con.
Quoted through mercury contained in
glass tubes on the pilot truck. If, there.
fore, the truck comes into collision the
tubes are broken n the contact conse-
quently destroyed. The interruption Of
the current instantly and automatically
applies the breaks ON the following train.
1t is claimed by the inventor that two ex-
presses, fitted with this system, might
with IMMUNITY be set TO run full tilt at
each ether. The collision of their pilot
trucks would arrest the progress of both
trains before they could meet. The ele-
ment Ct human fallibility is accordingly
entirely eliminated, and drivers may dash
through n whole series of danger signals
without risk, being automatically arrest
ed the moment they reach the spot hat is
really dangerous.-St. James Gazette.

OF how to beSinsn was asked of Richard
Watson Glider, editor of The Century.
inc only way for n beginner to do is

Il want to know what field thcro is to-

For people without literary reputa-
tious?'
YES, people who want to make q renu-
tation-who want to rise in the profess
sion; 1t is fast becoming u profession in it
self"
well, the most constant demand Is for.
fiction. A beginner always has the oppor-
tunity for practice in the field OF short
stories, and out of this he can graduate
into n serial writer, u novelist, publishing
either in the magazines or in book form,
or both. In this way the writer of stories
has an advantage over the dramatic
writer, in that he can las Mr.. Brander
Matthews says make his brief essays and
try them on the editors and on the public,
whereas in the dramatic art in this ountry
he does not get the chance that he does
abroad, where they take one act plays
from beginners. That is one reason VIII
there are SO many good writer's of fiction
coming up All over the country and why
there arc 50 few drnnlatists, because tho
former have u chance to practice-to try
thcir experiments upon the public-and
tho latter have small chance"
Has not that been the case with almost
all OF our fiction writers of tho present
generation; they began with short stories
and then blossomcd out as the rose?'
"That has been the rule. Some of them
have never got fairly beyond the short
story stage, but if they write good short
stories they have gained the rewards of
fame. New York Mai and Express
