One of the level heade men of the val
uation commission now In sessi on at the
State House is David Fl. Ingraham Of
Rockland. Every one who knows the
captain, and there are not few who
have the pleasure of his acquain lance,
have noticed that he almost invariably
wears fl ae silk hat and 1t comes to him
In this way: He was In business In Bos
ton many years and one day q young man
entered his office and wanted to borrow
$500 to buy out q small hat store. The
captain lent 1t to him, he bought the store
and today Is one of the wealthiest and
most prosperous hatters of the Hub and
every fall as regularly as the sessions roll
around Mr.. Ingraham receives as a gift
from the Boston gentleman polished
silk hat of the fLest quality that can be
manufactured. Summers he is the recip-
lent from the same source Of nattv
Kersey hat for hot weather wear. On
another occasion when the Cigar Makers
Cooperative association was formed in
Boston he loaned workman 300 to be.
gin business In the association. The cigar
maker prospered paid up the loan and
now he annually presents Capt. Ingraham
with box Of the best hand made cigars,
rolled by himself. Mr. Ingraham carries
magnificent gold watch and chain which
he values far more than for Its intrinsic
worth. For many years he did business
for the late Hon. Joseph X. Bodwell iu
Boston, handling nearly all the money
which was received by the Hallowell
Granite 90. for stone furnished for the
New York State House. After the com
rletion Of the contract Governor Bodwel
met Cap ain Iugraham in Boston and pull
ed the gold watch and chain out and pre-
scented 1t 10 him. 1t is Z 5000 time piece

The ApportIonment Bill.

Under the Apportionment bill proposed
by Congressman Frank of Missouri, the
next House Of Representatives will con.
sst of 1856 members, exclusive OF Terri
torial delegates, an Increase of "a men,
bers distributed as follows: Alabams,
Georgia, Kansas, Massachu sets, Mich.
igan, Missouri. New Jersey, Oregon
Washington and Wisconsin, one addi-
tional member each; Illinois, Minnesota
Pennsylvania and Texas, two each; Ne
braska, three. No State has less than
its present representation. This would
appear to be a fair and judiclous appor
tionment, involving no violent changes
or partisan Determinations, aud with the
least possible increase of the present
number of members whereby to reach
the same equitable result. The advan-
tage of Mr.. Franks plan is that it appor.
lions the increase in such way as to
leave no ground for invidious compari-
sons or complaints. With SO Senators
from A States and 1856 Representatives,
the Electoral College would consist of 4i4
members instead of 4ol, as in 1888.
Upon this basis all the New England
states except Massachusetts, which
gains member retains It's present mem
bership In the House. Besides Massachu-
sets, Alabama, Arkansas, California,
Colorado, Michigan, Missouri, New Jer-
sey, Georgia, Kansas, Oregon, Washing
ton and Wisconsin gain one member
each; Minnesota, Illinois, Pennsylvania
and Texas gain two members each, while
Nebraska will gain three members. 1t
is expected that the bill will be reported
to the House by the end Of this week
and that it will be passed before the
holiday recess.

Captured II.


The manner in which the Demo
Gratis have captured the convention of
the Farmers Alliance will have the
effect of disgusting large body of
farmers in the Northwest who wiu
seriously object to pulling wires at
the orders of Bourbon Senators at
Washington. These farmers went in
to the movement as one Independent
of the old parties, a illusion they
were permitted to cherish until after
the election, but now they find that
the organization upon which they mis-
takenly based strong hopes has been
converted into a mere annex of the
Democratic party. 1t is the old story
over again, but in this case the Demo-
Gratis seem to have over reached them
selves as their premature action will
open the eyes of the true situation.

MOORE'S MILLS, CANAAN.

A large company, members of
the Canaan Union Praying Band
with friends, met at E. J. Fosters
on the Oath OF November, for the
purpose of giving a birthday recep-
ton in honor of their pastor, Rev.
f. J. Jackson of Lewiston, who la
bored in the great revival last win
ter in South Canaan and this place,
aud by his faithful and untiring Ia
bors as a true minister of the Cos
pei, full of zeal and the spirit, fills
a large place in the hearts of his
people. After II portion of time
had been spent in greetings and So
cial converse, interspersed with
singing, refreshments were served
and appropriate remarks were
made by brother Wallace Irelan |
in regard to the great work that
had been wrought among the peo-
pie. At the close Of the remarks a
birthday gift was made to our
worthy pastor and he, in fitting and
eloquent terms, gave a short adj
dress which was listened to with
much interest. The entertainment
then closed with prayer by Elder
Jackson, and the company then
dispersed, all feeling they had en-.
joyed a very social and pleasant
occasion.

Little Gems in Devotional Books.
A, Word to Our Patrons.

In making our selections for the
Holiday trade we have exercised
the greatest care, having in view
the best goods for the least money.
Something nice and not too ex-
pensive is the constant demand on
the part of holiday shoppers. The
demand is reasonable one, and we
have kept it in mind in making our
Christmas selections. One of the
features of our stock is nice goods,
not too expensive; goods that may
be given without shame and accept
ed gladly and gratefully, yet which
do not make an extravagant demand
on the purse. Those buyers who
have many gifts to make, and who
must be economical while being
generous, will do well to make an
examination of our stock.
Our juvenile books are surprise
to every one. Books that have for
merly sold for $l.00 we are now
selling for 25 cts.
We shall be glad to see you, and
will Try to please you.
Pnt our statements to the proof
by an examination of our stock.
You will be warmly welcomed by
BIXBY & BUCK.
