THE MocKRIDGE CONCERT.
Great interest is exhibited in the Mock
ridge concert, which will be given at City
Hall tomorrow evening. Mr.. Mcckridge's
abilities are we'll known. An Exchange,
speaking of the Eichberg Quartette, says:
'At the Meionaon, ON Monday night, the
Eichberg Quartette, former pupils of Mr.
Julius Eichberg, who have recently returned
from Berlin, where they have been studying
in Joachm's school, were heard in Haydn's
quartet, op. Ga, No. B, and Mozarts IN ID MI
nor. The playing was full of refined charm,
marked intelligence, and genuine artistic
sympathy with the works performed. The
Young ladies showed their admirable school
ing in all they did. They play well together
and with delightful unanimity of senti-
ment. Ii was pleasure of no common or
der to hear such music Interpreted with as
perfect feeling for its character as was
manifested by these young and talented ar
lists"

The New York Life.

Whatever other business lags, Life Insur-
ance does not. At least no falling off, but
rather large increase all along the line is
shown by the annual report of the New
York Life Insurance Company, published in
another column. The yearly business of
this great institution would make larger
company than the total bushes of many of
its competitors. Its wonderful growth dates
back from 1868 when the present president,
Mr.. William II. Beers, became active in its
management. 1t then had less than three
million dollars in assets, and surplus bare
ly sufficient to entitle it to confidence. Dur
ing the next ten years it nearly multiplied its
assets by ten, and, as the results showed, was
in better condition when the panic came to
endure the prolonged strain that followed
that memorable year than any other compa-
ny in the country, for it lost a smaller pro-
portion Of its business, and was the first to
spring forward into an increasing business
as times became better. Its growth during
the past ten years has been marvellous, its
assets now exceeding eighty-three million
dollars, of which nearly twelve millions is
surplus by the new State standard. which
took effect January 1, 1888. while its new in
surances for 1887 were over one hundred
million dollars. Full details of the years
business will be found in the report itself
which will repay perusal.

The Newport Robbery-A Possible
Key to the Barron Tragedy.

10 The Edtt0r OF the Press:
If DR.. Weed, of Newport, who was COM
mitted last Saturday on the testimony of
Foster, one of the New York burglars who
confess the robbery of Bennett, proves to be
guilty Of originating that conspiracy, it will
confirm the writer's suspicion that few rob-
berries or burglaries are perpetrated in our
villages by imported professionals except by
the aid Of some resident, familiar with the
locality and with the habits of the victim.
Amoment's reflection will show the rea-
sonableness of this conviction. The difficult
ties in the way Of the most adroit and expe-
rienced robber or burglar, unfamiliar with
the premises, the roads, the people and the
victim, are, without the aid Of some citizen
able and willing 10 supply the indispensable
information, almost insurmountable. But
with such aid, all is comparatively plain sail
ing, and it is hardly conceivable that strang-
ers would be fools enough to attempt SO peril
Gus an operation without it.
Now that the court and one Of the most in
telligent juries ever impanneled in NewEng-
land have effectually disposed of that dam
nable suicide theory conjured by brain
which long ago landed its owner in lunatic
asylum. but which has been cruelty used by
sane men for the past nine years to blacken
the memory of the brave defender of the
Dexter bank and TO outrage the feelings of
his widow and his friends. may is not now
be in order to inquire whether, in view of
some extraordinary testimony elected dur ing
the recent trial, there may n ct be an unex-
posed DR.. Weed in the town of Dexter?
II, Iat, 10Th Ind;
cjous, persevering detective work possibly
unearth some resident of that Town or vicini-
ty who planned the bank robbery whichStain
and Cromwell came from Massachusetts to
execute, and which the cashier frustrated at
the sacrifice of his life?
If such villain exists, it would be worth
whileto hunt him down and bring him to
justice, for the Newport disclosure prepares
us for the belief that he may be no ordinary
culprit.

With the foregoing explanation the study
of these figures will readily give consumers
knowledge of the comparative value of the
different brands. To Illustrate with the per-
centages given the two powders before com,
pared: the Royal containing Ills parts of
leavening gas to 1915 in Prices, its excess of
strength is 1.3 in 1915, or l2.4 per cent. Roy
al is therefore, 1914 per cent. stronger, as
well as II per cent. purer than Prices etc,
The relative strength and purity of all the
powders can be computed in like manner.
We will take great pleasure in furnishing a
full copy of the official report to any one de-
string to make further comparison.
1t will be noticed that the paper compared
the strength of only the most familiar baking
powders in that locality. As further infor-
nation seems to be desired upon this point,
we are glad to be able to furnish it from the
highest authorities:

wINsLow PACKING COMPANY.
The Company Compelled to Suspend
and Gen. C. p. Mattocks Assigns.
No Firms in This Vicinity Liable to
Suffer by the Suspension.

The WinsloN Packing Company, having
suspended yesterday, compelled Gen. Charles
p. Mattocks, its president who is endorser
on large amount of its paper, to assign.
He has conveyed nil his estate, real and per
sonal, to Hiram Knowlton and Charles Dunn,
Jr fol the equal benefit of all his creditors.
We learn from outside parties that the
paper of the firm is for the most part with
the First National and Canal National banks.
The amount is not given. The factories
were valued at 100000 and have bonded
debt of 100000 1t is reported that the
paper Of the banks is all secured by goods
belonging to the company such as tinplate
in storehouse, etc. What the liabilities and
assets are Gen. Mattocks aud the assignees
said could not be determined at present. 1t
is pleasant to know that the farmers have all
been paid. A meeting of the stockholders in
the Winslow Company, and the creditors of
Gen. Maltocks will soon be called. Every
body will regret the suspension and SYM
pathize with Gen. Mattocks who is so high
ly esteemed in the community. We are glad
to learn that there is very little money owed
in this vicinity
The present company of which Charles p.
Mattocks is president was organized in 1882.
The company has corn factories located at
Bridgton, Buckfield, Camden, Canton, Deer
ing, Fairfield, Pennington, Hirlm, Mechanic
Falls, Norway, Oakland, Raymond, Wilton
and Baldwin. The company has lobster
factories at Boothbay and Camden in Maine,
Bay Of Islands and Sober Islands, Nova
Scotia, and two at Magdalene Islands. max
ing a total of fourteen corn and six lobster
factories. The total sales of corn made by
the company in 1887 amounted to 100000
cases or 4,S72,OOO cans. The supply Of corn
handled requires the services of upwards of
1000 farmers and gives employment during
the packing season to some 1000 men, women
and children, directly, besides the work to
farmers About fifty men are employed
during six months of the year in making
cans.
Besides the factories mentioned large
number of outside factories have been con-
trolled and operated on contract.
The prospects of the concern for the COM
ing year seemed to indicate successful
business. General Mattocks. by maintain
ing in the courts, the right to the sole use of
the Globe labels by his company had given
an impetus to the business which resulted in
an increased demand for the product of the
factories and higher price for the goods

PHOSPHATE BAKING POWDERS.

The large amount of inert matter or resid-
uum in both the phosphate and alum pow
powders is largely of lime; in the alum pow
ders it is chiefly alum. 1t will be gratifying
to the public to observe that the powder in
most general use, the Royal, is also the pur-
est. In comparing the first two powders on
Price's-the inert matter in Prices is seen to
be about five in seven more than in the for
mer, difference of II 81 per cent, the Roy
al being purer than Prices by correspond
ing figure.
The carbonic or leaving gas produced by
the powders indicates their strength; and
their true value may be ascertained by con-
sidering the amount of this gas In connection
with their inert matter or residuum as shown
above. The higher the percentage of gas
and the lower the percentage of residuum the
better the baking powder. These percenta-
ges as found in some of the most familiar
powders. are given as follows:

SATURDAY., March 4, 1888.
At $50 a. m. got underway and took in tow
schooner Village Maid, for Green's Landing.
Deer Isle, with supplies, and towed her
through the ice which is too heavy to be sailed
through with the light wind prevailing.
AT 1875 a. m. saw a steamer in Isle of Haul
bay, with flag set Union down, and making
signals of distress with her whistle. Ran
down to her, and found her to be the steamer
Sebenoa, Mount Desert, cut through by the
ice and sinking condition Lashed her
bows to the stern of the Dallas, to keep her
from sinking. and towed her into Green's
Landing where she was grounded to enable
her to repair
Furnished schooner David Simmons with
fuel, her supply being exhausted.
Steamed to the schooner Culver Of Port
land, at Crotch Island, which had been driven
ashore by the ice. Found she had lost both
anchors, mainsail split and useless, stem
wrenched to one side and damaged, star
board sail carried away. iibboon gone and
vessel making considerable water. Put on
board of her provisions, fuel, an anchor. and
one man, took her in tow and in a binding
snow storm, towed her to a port, where she
could obtain a tug for Portland.

HOW MEN DIE.

If we know all the methods of approach adopt
ed by an enemy we are the better enabled to ward
off the danger and postpone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable In many instances
the inherent strength of the body sufiices to ena
Bile 1t to oppos the tendency toward death. Many
however, have lost these forces to such an extent
that there is little or no help. In other cases,
little aid to the weakened Lungs win make all
the difference between sudden death and many
years of useful life. Upon the first symptoms of
Cough, Cold, or any trouble OF the Throat OF
Lungs, give that old and well known remedy
Boschee's German Syrup, a careful trial. 1t will
prove, what thousands say of 1t, to be the "bene-
factor of any home" noy1-dIycT
