A Brave Woman.

The farm buildings of Mr.. David Welts in
North Parkman, with contents, were de-
stroyed by fire Thursday forenoon between
the hours of nine and ten. Mrs. Wells was
alone with the exception of boy two years
of age. She carried the little boy, and two
feather-beds from the burning house, telling
him to remain quiet while she went to the
barn. She succeeded in saving the stock.
consisting of three of the horse kind two
belonging to others), four head of neat stock
ana ten sheep, AT this time the barn was
1iled with binding smoke making lit very
difiic9lt feat for her to perform. Neat stock
ana sheep both went back to the burning
building and had to be driven out the second
Time. She saved one shote by taking him by
force from the pen. One other obStinately
refused to be saved and was burned, Mrs.
Welts returned to her boy to find his clothes
on fire as well as both beds. She soon extin-
guished this incipient .confiagration and
then turned her attention to the Jumper
standing near the shed. Jumper and cushion
were on fire, but this too she soon extin-
guished and the jumper was removed to a
safe distance from the burning buildings.
About this time Mr.. Welts, together with
some of the neighb0rs, arrived at the scene
Of the confagrati0n but too late to save any
thing excepting about 100 bushels of potatoes
in the cellar. These were saved by throwing
snow into the now nearly consumed house.

The Cost of n.

Those who are opposing the removal of
the State Capital rely upon one argument
1t would increase the taxes" they say with
giimace of alarm. This is not SO. Should
the Legislature vote to move the Capital to
morrow without cent of aid from Portland
and without cent Of that direct tax money
which is sure to come to Maine, under the
next administration II not under this, new
capitol. that would be pride to the State.
could be erectedin Portland in six years
without inficting upon the tax payers of
Maine an extra cent of taxation. s
ms year the State debt. on which the tax
payers OF Maine are paying six per cent.
VIII De refunded at three per cent. This
VIII effect saving Of 100000 year for
every year SO long as we shall have State
debt. Apply this yearly surplus for six
years to the building Of new capitol. and
Maine would have State House where the
Legislature could be accommodated and
where the public archives would not be in
constant danger Of destruction.
But no one proposes to use 500, 900 for six
years, although that could be done without
adding cent to the present burdens of the
tax payers. Portland and her citizens pro-
pose to give magnificent site worth 100000
free of all cost to the State. They propose
to do more. They will give at least Sio0. 900
additional In clean cash. To build suitable
State House not more than $500, 700 will then
be needed. There Is due the State
OF Maine from the National
government about S40O,0OO of the direct tax
money, which this Congress or the next win
pay back. The application Of this sum TO
the erection Of the capitol so much needed
would certainly not add any burdens to the
shoulders of the Maine tax payers.
But 1t is said: "You have 100000 TO raise.
and that must come from the pockets of the
people" Yes, 1t will probable be necessary
to raise 100000 by taxation. But let us see
who win pay this. OF the State tax as as
sessed in the year 1888 Cumberland county
paid nearly one-fourth; and York county
nearly one-tenth. So the burden of that
100000 would fall about as follows:
Cumberland nearly. $4,000
ioth'. -'.........s.......-.. 10000
Cumberland ana York nearly. .. $4,000
Inc rest OF the State about........ $4,000
When York and Cumberland are willing to
bear all but $4,000 or $4,000 Of the direct
burden Of giving the State suitable capitol.

The only mistake about 1t is that 1t was de-

Efr. Thomas and the Swedish mis-


The Nordstjernan (The North STAB of
New York, the largest and most influential
SwedishIpaper this side of.Chicage, has this
to say regarding the appointment of the
Hon. w. w. Thomas Jr. to the Swedish mis-
sion:
Seldom is it that public opinion and the
entire press OF two opposing parties unani-
mously recommend any one man to an office.
But such Is the fact IN regard to the appoint
ment OF minister 10 Sweden and Norway to
succeed the present incumbent. Swedish
American citizens, the unanimous Swedish
American press and the Swedish press of
Stockholm, all unite in fervent wish that
PresideEt-elect Harrison might see fit to ap-
point as envoy extraordinary and minister
ter plenip0tentiary to Sweden and Norway,
the Hon. w. w, Thomas Jr., of Portland,
Me.
His attachments in the Swedish language
aud literature. his experience as consul at
Gothenburg under President Lincoln, and
Swedish minister under President Arthur,
emlnenty qualify and peculiarly fit Mr..
Thomas for reappointment to the position.
During the past campaign Mr.. Thomas
rendered the Republican party services of
nature which no other American could equal.
During the campaign, tree trade herecies,
championed by journals improvised for the
occasion, were making inroads upon the
Sweaes as they never before had done, and
act the spreading disease. Influential men
were needed to counterfeit the unhealthy
growth, and 1t was now that Mr.. Thomas en-
tered the strife and contributed his name in :
ffnence and services. This influence was
felt from Maine to Minnesota, and it is due
TO Mr.. Thomas more than to any other Sean
dinavian agency that the result was brought
about which has restored the country to the
party Of protection and progress.
Wherever Mr.. Themes was advertised to
speak there would follow crowded audiences
OF Scandinavians, for which of us would not
hear Yankee discuss economic and political
questions in the Swedish language? In this
city Mr.. Thomas was received with un
bounded enthusiasm, and our city papers de-
clared this the most successful mass-meeting
of the campaign; similar satisfactory reports
reached us from the Scandinavian press of
the New England States and the West
The appointment therefore of the Hon. w.
w. Thomas, Jr., would be regarded with
favor by Scandinavians on both sides of the
Atlantic; his nomination would do more
than any one. other appointment or act of
Mr.. Harrison's coming administration to
render II popular to that large body of citi-
zens; and lastly, the desired nomination
would add lustre and honor TO the foreign
diplomatic policy of the United States.
