WHY Is It2

We have, in our experience, mot q
number 81, mon, i II oyery Imaginable Inc
of business; but tho happiest, most ener-
getio and agreeable fellows arc the agents
OF the well-known and popular HDavis
Sowing Machine" They are as happy as
the day is long. They make everybody
with whom they have dealings feel the
same. Why is itp They are mon from
the ordinary paths Of life; chosen more
for their honesty and responsibility than
on account of mechanical skill, because
this "Davis'' machine la the very acme
of mechanical simplicity and requires no
skill in its manipulation. One hours
operation In q customers house amply
demonstrates this fact and it's advantages
become at once apparent. 1t does not
take the lady long to decide in favor of
this machine, finding, as sho does, that
she can do work on it that would BIO
impossible on machines of the under.
feed pattern. Any lady who has n
knowledge of the Davis and other ma
chimes, will toll you without hesitation
that h Davis is incomparably tho best.
Not only will it perform moro than dou-
Bile the work possible with any other
maohino, but the work is done with inaii
the exertiOn and with an ease that is as
pleasing as 1t is surprising. Sold by

every one is making good use Of it.
Crops are very good too. Tt is said
that there is a very fine crop of

as chickens and beef are very scarce,
they come in very well.

THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Continuation Of the Debate on the ParnelI
Commission.

LONDON. March lin the House of Com
mons this evening Lord Randolph Churchill
resumed the debate on the report of tho
parncu Commission. He said that from
the inception of the commission he mad
watched the proceedings With feelings OF
SORROW and apprehension, which had grown
deeper and stronger "a the proceedings dc-
yel0ped. From the beginning TO the end
these PROCEEDINGS were vitiated by their
thoroughly unconstitutional character.
TChecrs from tho oppOsition.l When the
Government decided TO pass by the ordl-
nary tribunals II must have held that the
charges against the Parnelites constituted

When the Government held that there was

cute crininally. lParnellite cheers. II
there was pri0id fdcie case to justify an

In tho first place, the Government in
order to ascertain the truth Of the criminal
charges against its political opponents dis
charged and set aside the ordinary law OF

Secondly, the government constituted
under a special act a commission consist

THE ICE-FEVER.
GREAT EXCITEMENT OVER THE HAIR
vESTlNG OF THE CROP.
Nothing ParaIieling 1t Known Since
1s7o-Figures rs to Housings
and shipments.
Especial telegram to the Dispatch.

.AuGrsrA. Me-. March 1.-THE ice-feyer is
at its utmost height. In 1889 II was esti-.
mated that S00,0 900 tons had been housed, OF
which all but 90, 900 tons were shipped. In
1880 II is estimated that from $50, 900 to
100000 tons will be harvested, though the
last figures depend upon the weather above
tidewater at Augusta. IL is estimated that
from $1,000 to 40 900 tons will be harvested
TOR early shipment. Below Augusta every
available privilege has been secured. Old
firms and new are housing and stacking
every ton possible.
Figures offered range from 20 TO 81 de-
liyered on vessels here. The reported
failure OF the Hudson ice crop causes
thousands Of extra tons TO be harvested,
many hovers along the river filing base
ments and coal-sheds. The ice measures
at Augusta from fourteen to eighteen
inches. Below Richmond II 10 from SIX TO
fourteen inches, according to location. The
weather Monday was soft, with rain coming.
A few days Of soft weather will seriously
effect the lower part of the river, though
the firms Will house until the last minute.
New York and southern ice-men are flock
ing 70 Maine. The PenObscot river har--
vested in 1899 $50 900 tons, and in 1890 Will
harvest 50O,0 600 tons or more. Every pond
accessible for railroad shipment will be-
harvested. No such excitement has been
seen since the memorable ice days of 1870.
There is no doubt but what the price Of
Kennebec ice will reach five dollars in
houses. The great difficulty will be to OBJ
tain vessels tor shipment. lee freights
are sharp at one dollar and fifty cents TO
New York from kennebec, with an ex-
peeted large advance. Should the weather
permit the ice operations on the heunebec
will exceed anything ever before known.
