1t is about time for public opinion to
call a halt in the museum 'freak'' bust
ness; the public display, at 30 much a
head, of wretched deformities Of mis-
shapen creatures. 1t is time to suppress
the posters that reproduce these mon
strosities in yet more aggravated distor-
ton, compelling unwilling eyes to rest
upon their hideousness at every street
corner. Every intelligent adult, man or
woman, knows that the sight of n repul-
sive deformity can and does lead to the
gravest consequences, and 1t will not be
necessary here to be more explicit. Pitts

More than six months ago an English
magazine offered a prize of three guineas
for the most original and suitable topics
of conversation on the four occasions of a
morning call, before dinner, in the draw

ROOM and In the train. Either this three
guinea prize was no temptation to in
ventive conversationalists, or else the task
proves to be impossible, for 1 believe the
project has fallen through, and we must
go on without the discovery of q royal
road to brilliant talk. What a blessing a
few sparkling suggestions would be to
those of us who only can berate the
weather when the supply of gossip falls
short. In these days when money buys
everything, the demand for appropriate
topics of conversation really ought to be
furnished regardless of expense. The
trouble with the editor of this magazine
in question was, not that he didn't mean
well, but that he didn't make his prize
worth the trying for. Three guineasi

6AD ACCIDENT.
A Norridgewock Man Killed by the
Cars.

NoRRIDGHwoCK, May 2l.
& John H. Webster, esq. of Norridgewock,
while walking on the track of the Somerset
railway at Hale Stream bridge, was struck
by the 10 80 up train, Monday morning and
SO badly injuted that he died in ten minutes.
Mr.. Webster was the Oldest attorney in
Somerset county. He was crossing the
bridge, not seeing the approaching train I'M
til close upon him. He got across the bridge
but being feeble was either struck by the
and thrown over the embankment fifteen
feet or lost his balance and fell down the
embankment striking his head upon a rock.
Especial to the Kennebec journal.
John II. Webster, Esq, of this town, was
suddenly killed at about 1890 A. NJ. today.
He had started to walk from A. o. Freder-
les store to his home by way of the railroad
track, and had just reached the bridge across
Hale's stream, so called, when the up train
came in sight and whistled down brakes. As
near as can be learned he stepped to the left
of the rail upon the edge of the granite abut-
ment, and standing about two and one-half
feet from the rail, was struck by the second
or third car. or what seems more likely, be-
came dizzy by the rush of the train and fell
upon the rocks at the edge of the stream,
some ten feet below and from there into the
stream. He tioated under the bridge and
was taken from the water by John II. Mitch
ell, who was one Of the first to get to the
scene of the accident. When taken from
the water he was unconscious and lived about
ten minutes. There was a severe wound on
the back of his head probably caused by
falling on the rocks, and this injury was
probably the cause of his death. He was
about eighty years old. His widow is nearly
helpless with paralysis. A daughter at home
and a son and daughter in Boston survive
him.

could not answer. They invited him to the

the sled to be a squad of cats, numbering
