A War Memory.

Rev. Perry Chandler, now of Lewiston,
was, during the war, a member of the First
Maine Cavalry. At the close Of hostiliries,
the regiment was camped near Petersburg,
Va. Ettricks was a factory village just
across the river from Petersburg. The
people were poor; poor in pocket, poor in
spirit, and deficient in means to educate
their children. Sergt. Chandler saw the con-
dition of affairs, and conceived the idea of
opening free school during the stay of the
regiment there. Chandler talked with the
parents in the village about it, but met with
little encouragement at first, as they were
poor. He told them the school should be
free. That was something they could not
quite understand, doubtless thinking it was
Yankee trick. But he finally got encour-
agement enough to begin, and then got per
mission of Col. Cilley to do his soldering in
that way. The first day he had forty pupils.
and the number increased so rapidly that
another man was detailed to assist him.
Melvin Preble, of Co. X, offered his services.
At the present day Mr.. Preble is a leading
surgeon in Bangor, Me. Still more assist
ance was needed. and Miss Anna e. True.
man, daughter of Rev. Mr.. Trueman, Bap-
tist clergyman Of Petersburg, Va, kindly
offered her services, which were accepted.
There was need of books, and Chaplain
Merrill sent for some The pupils ranged
from four to sixteen years of age and the
schoolmaster said he was never in a school
house where more interest was shown by the
scholars.
This school lasted till the regiment was or
dered home-about eight weeks. At the
close of the school, resolutions were adopted
unanimously at a large meeting of citizens,
expressing their thanks and well wishes TO
those who had conducted the school.

MRS. Campbell Moves that the wom-
ems Union be Non-PartIsan.

New YORK, Oct. 22-The Woman's
Christian Temperance Union resumed its
session today at the Metropolitan Opera
House. During the opening prayer many
of the delegates remained out in the corridors
and foyer, whispering and lobbying in
groups, in much the same manner as one
might see at conventions of more secular
character. The election of officers and su-
perintendents was down for the mornings
session. Mrs. Fosters hobby, the memorial
from the Iowa delegation indorsing the Re-
publican platform, again attempted to ma

ers. Before Miss Willard retired, however,
MRS. l.. Nj. Barry. representing the knights
OF Labor, was presented to the convention
In the name of the knights she rendered a
Iraternal greeting to the convention. She
referred to the good work performed by
Grand sa. I'M Master Workman t. v. Powderly.
Miss Willard stepped forward at this point
and made motion that a ssterly greeting
be sent to the convention of Knights of La
Dor, which meets at Indianapolis, Nov l3.
and also complimented Mrs. Barry, terming
her "a noble and witty and eloquent Irish
woman" Rev. Joseph Cook, of Boston, was
another of the visitors today. Voting for
officers began shortly before noon. Miss
Frances e. Willard was reelected President,
receiving $50 votes out of total 800. Mrs.
Esther Pugh of Chicago, was re elected treas
urer, Mrs. l.. Nj. n. Stevens. of Maine. her
present assistant, to retain that place. These
ladies all made appropriate speeches accept

The convention then adjourned.
During the recess, about 100 delegates who
favored the am endment of Mrs Campbell
that all Woman's Christian Temperance
Union discussions be non-partisan and non
sectarian met and adopted a mutual pledge
to agitate in local, county, district and State
Unions to the end that the next annual con-
yention be prepared to vote intelligently on
the amendment. Two hours were spent
discussing the real intent of Mrs Campbelps
amendment. 1t was said to be to make il
impossible for the convention to raise a DO

New YORK, Oct. 22.-The efforts of the
German Democrats to procure the with
drawal of Mayor Hewitt and Sheriff Grant
as candidates for the mayorality and union
on some other Democrat are characterized
by both the Tammany Hall and the County
Democracy leaders as absurd. 1t is now
too late for anything of the kind. The
Tammany leaders say that they were will
ing to unite on some fair-minded Democrat
other than Mayor Hewitt, and their offer
was spurned with contempt by the County
Democracy sub-executiYe committee, who
believed that they had walkoyer in
the mayoralty race with Mr.. Hewitt. Now
that Tammany Hall has put an entire county
ticket in the field, the County Democracy
has done the same, and both sides have done
a good deal of work in the matter of organ
ization. This is especially true of Tammany
Hall, which has been engaged ever since its
county convention was held in perfecting its
organization in the various assembly dis
tricts
The fact is that Tammany Hall is anxious
to try conclusions with its old antagonist

leaders have for several years declared that
they would be willing to meet the County

A Sweeping Verdict by the Jury on
the Mud Run Horror.

MAUcH CHUNK. Pa, Oct. 22.-After a
three days session, the eoroner's jury inves-
tigating the recent accident on the Lehigh
Valley Railroad at Mud Run, by which so
many lives were lost. reached the following
verdict today:
We fird the engineers of locomotives 452
and 456 of the seventh section were guilty Of
gross negligence; first, in failing to discover
the red signal in time, the evidence clearly
showing that this signal was in full view as
their train approached, and secondly, for not
approaching the station under full control as
required by both general and special orders
The evidence also shows that the air brakes
of the entire seventh section were under the
control of the engineer of locomotive 466 and
he could have stopped the train in spite Of
the locomotive ahead, No. 49,
We find the lookout men of locomotives
452 and 466 were guilty of gross negligence
in failing to report to their respective engi-
neers the red light at station as the train
approached. The men were placed on their
respective engines as an additional precau-
tion, their special duty being to look out for
signals. The lookout man on 452 failed to
see the signal The other one, ON 466, testi-
fed that he saw 1t when about 15,0O8 feet
from the station yet he reported all right to
the engineer and claims he did not think the
red light meant anything as nobody used it,
The rear brakeman Of the sixth section
was found guilty of gross negligence, and
the conductors of the two sections failed in
their duties.

MAINE SCHOOLS.
Various Things Proposed to Increase
Their Value.
Especial to the Press.J

AUGUSTA, Oct. 22.-An important circular
is to be issued at an early day by the State
School Department and State Board of
Health, Jointly, for the purpose of obtaining
information touching the hygienic condition
of the school houses of the State. The
teachers in the various towns are to report
the circulars being forwarded to them
through the superintendents of schools or
school committees. The observations are
TO be made chiefly during the spring and
summer terms and will chiefly be concern
ing ventilation, plans of seats, drainage and
surroundings. The result cannot fall to be
interesting as well as of value, and the
tendency will be to cause the teachers to
make study of the sanitary conditions un-
der which their respective school houses are
located, las well as to correct.any very glaring
defects which may be discovered. The re-
ports will finally be compiled and embodied
in the reports of the two departments.
1t is certain that determined effort will

hooks. The measure receiving the sanction
of the State school officials. There are some
twenty towns which furnish free books to
Materville and Brunswick. Orono led off in
this innovation, having been free text
book town for twenty years. Hon. Samuel
Libby, who is well acquainted with the
working of the system, says it costs the
scholars less than 80 cents each per year for
books on the average, while so or 80 cents is
the cost under the old plan. 1t is also said
to amount practically to uniformity of
text books, measure which has been strong
ly advocated in some quarters, as the pupil
on removing from one town to another is not
obliged to purchase new books but simply
leaves those he has been using with the
teacher at the school he last attends and is

Mr. hunneweII,s cancer cure.

Mr. Edwin HunDewell, Of South Wind
ham, asks the PRESS to publish for the bene-
fit of It's readers an account Of remedy
which he has used successfully as cure for
cancer. Mr.. Hunnewell. who Is 6S years
old, began eight years ago to be afflicted
with sore on the left side of his nose. He
soon became convinced that ii was a cancer,
and still believes 1t to have been one, though
he has no medical authority for this belief
except the word Of a travelling doctor who
took five dollars from him for a remedy that
did no good. Last summer the sore had
grown very bad, and Mr.. Hunnewell became
much alarmed. Mr.. William Leighton, of
Falmouth, told him at this time that a salye
made from the plant known to farmers as
the wood sorrel would cure cancer. Mr..
Hunnewell tried II first last September, and
in three weeks the cancer was healed Mr..
Hunnewell has unbounded confidence in the
wood sorrel remedy and wants everybody to

school. Another argument urged in favor
of free books is that many pupils are unable
to attend school because their parents are
not able to buy books for them. Often
times when going into the grammar school
the change is attended by considerable
outlay for books. All these difficulties
would be obviated by the plan proposed.
Your correspondent learns that a move
ment to adopt the town system in the man
agement of the schools is to be pushed in the
coming legislature with greater vigor than
ever before. State Superintendent Luce is a
pronounced advocate of the system and will
exert his influence in its behalf. Over one
hundred of the towns and cities have
adopted it and two-fifths of the scholars In
the State are contained in them

Squires, assistant postmaster at Chicago for
nineteen years. After having worked his
way up from an errand boy in the postal
service, Squires was reduced not long ago to
chief clerkship. and subsequently sus-
pended. His friends claim that he died
of broken heart. The funeral took place
with high Masonic honors in the Emmanuel
Baptist church, that of one OF the most
prominent congregations in the city. The
church was crowded to 0verflOwing. DIR.

quence had already greatly wrought upon
the audience, when he said: II see in the
dead before me an arraignment of the civil
service. L think, as be lies there, he declares
the failure of that system. Our ideal Is still
beyond our intellect, nor will justice and
purity prevail in the civil service until pre-
ferment shall be given upon the scale of tai
ent and fitness" There was a moment of
silence, and then the big church rang with
an understandable outburst of applause.
