RAILROAD SCHEME
To Make Portland a Much Larger
Lumber Depot.

The Upper Coos road may possibly be
bought by the Concord & Montreal. The
president of the latter road says his company
has made no offer for the property but re-
quested President Van Dyke to fix terms
II the bargain should be contaminated the
Concord & Montreal will build link from
Groveton to North Stratford, about Is miles
The Concord & Montreal would also posi-
bly, purchase the Upper Coos extension to
Sawyerville, 2. O., where it connects with
the Megantic system. The distance from
North Stratford to Sawyervllle is fifty miles.
The Boston & Maine and Maine Control
directors with the officials have been over
the mountain division, and it is reported
have this plan in view. They may build a
link from Lunenburg. the present terminus
of the mountain division, to North Stratford
distance of twenty-fye miles, This would
give them connection with the Upper
Coos and Canadian Pacific roads and open
up about ninety miles of lumber freig htage.
1t will also make Portland better point to
compete for northern New Hampshire traffic
against other roads.

~ JED PRoUTY.
One Of those tremendous audiences that
cram Portland theatre so closely that it
seems as if little more pressure would bulge
out the sides of the auditorium, greeted
Richard Golden and Dora Wiley in "Old Jed
Prouty" last evening. All the familiar
scenes were greeted as they were last season
with uproariOus applause, and the various
characters all received warm welcome.
"Old Jed Prouty" pleases every locality in
New England because the audience can enter
personally into the situations. They "have
been there and they realize the truthfulness
Of the various scenes. DoraWiley's singing is
a great feature. The play will draw as large
an audience tonight.

The Importance of thoroughly purifying the
blood This Spring cannot be over-estimated
The extraordinary epidemic of ''the grip" and
other diseases, the unhealthful winter, close con-
fnement in doors and carelessness In diet have
caused accumulation of impurities in the blood
which must be expelled before you can feel well
ana strong again. The universal praise given
Hoods sarsaparilla by those who have taken it
should certainly convince you that it is the ideal
Spring Medicine. 1t acts especially and i'm
mediately upon the blood, oyercomes physical
weakness, reviyes the health-tone and creates
good appetite.

Christ The Only Bishop Recognized.

"Raus Nit him, German for "Out
with him. The cry which rang
through the court of Pontius PLATE
was heard in Christian Church in
Chicago Sunday, and suiting the ac-
ton to the word angry men forcibly
elected from the church a preacher
Of the gospel. 1t was the culmina-
ton of the trouble in the Illinois
Conference of the Evangelical Asso-
citation which resulted in the divis-
ion of the conference last week into
two sections, each claiming to alone
possess the Ecclesiastical authority
Of the conference. Each conference
appointed pastors for all the church
es in the State, so that each church
has two ministers. At the Humboldt
Park Church Sunday afternoon the
Rev. Mr.. Morlich was to preach his
farewell sermon, and under the itin-
erent system his successor was to be
installed. The adherent and appoint
ees fboth conferences were on hand,
each determined to take possession
of the church and to install its pas
tor. The Wisconsin Conference had
appointed Rev. John Vetter, and the
Sheffield Avenue Conference licensed
Rev. A. Heilman. When Pastor Nor
lick and Pastor-elect Heilman came
in company to close the Sunday
school, preparatory to other services,
Sunday-school Superintendent, Theo.
Kruger and Pastor-elect Vetter de-
manded their authority. Immediate
" number of the congregation
leaped from their seats and seized
Mr.. Vetter, while Mr.. Heilman jump
ed down from the pulpit and across
the chancel rail. The confusion and
uproar was made worse by the rush
of women and children for the door,
Mr.. Vetter's friends shrieking, "They
are killing our preacher!D while his
opponents yelled "Raus NIT Ihml''
Mr.. Vetter finally was landed out
side, and, Notwithstanding he pro.
duced his license, was refused admis-
sion by Mr.. Heilman, who stood in
the doorway. When Mr.. Vetter and
his friends retired the Rev. Mr.. Nor
Itch preached his sermon. He deplor-
cd the scene, but said that Christ was
the only bishop they were recogniz
ing at present. The feeling between
the factions is very high, and that
section of Chicago is greatly excited
over the affair.

For Contempt Of Court.

The stories of early western judges
are almost as numerous and incredi-
BILE as the bear stories of that part OF
our country. The following incident,
which is vouched for as fact, is OF a
Judge who had very lofty idea of
his own legal capacity and was at the
same time anxious to sustain the dig
nifty of his court.
A shooting case" came before
him. There was no evidence as to
the perpetrator of the murder, but
the individual arrested was well
known, and, indeed, confessed the
deed.
When brought into court the judge
cautioned the prisoner not to com
nit himself; that he must remember
his rights as free citizen, and that,
above all things, he must not inter
rupt the proceedings of the court
After the friendly warning thejudge
proceeded to state that he, the pris-
oner, was accused of having, on such
date, shot the deceased.
Upon this the prisoner broke In
"Wal, an so l did,"
The judge was annoyed at the in
teruption.
"Hold your tongue, sir!" he ex-
claimed. Haven't / told you not
to commit yourself nor to interrupt
me? I shall commit you for con
tempt of court if you do so again y
he added, sternly.
He then repeated the accusation
upon which the prisoner again broke
in:
"I have told We afore that / kill
ed"-
The Judges indignation was in
tense at this second interruption
and he demanded "Mr. Sheriff
what is your evidence ?"
II have nothing but circumstan
tial evidence, your honor, and the
prisoners own confession"
"Then," said the judge, 81 dis
charge the prisoner on this accuse
ton, but commit him for contempt
of court" Youths Companion.
