political excitement tonight because Of the
oversight by the Saco board OF aldermen in
not holding meeting between Aug. IL and
IS to revise the check lists, according to the
requirement of the statutes. The Saco OF
ficiais admit their error, though they
claim that all other requirements
relating to the election have

dernen, who were recently arrested
and arranged i'll the United States district
court on a charge of neglect of duty, look
upon the Saco aldermen's neglect as par

are anxious to push the matter and it is
probable that the arrests OF the Saco alder
men will occur within few days. A con-

Democrats claim that the Saco aldermen's

Apples as Medicine.

The apple is composed Ofvegetable
fiber, albumen, sugar gum, chloro-
phyl, malic acid, gallic acid, lime and
much water. The German analysts
declare that the apple contains n
larger percentage of phosphorus
than any other fruit or vegetable.
This phosphorus is admirably adapt
ed for renewing the essential nervous
matter, lethicin of the brain and spi,
nal cord. Old Scandinavian legends
or traditions represent the apple as
the food of the gods, who, when they
found themselves growing feeble and
intirm, resOrted to this fruit to renew
the powers of the mind and body.
Judging from these traditions, ap-
pies must have been highly thought
OF in ancient times, and their restor.
ative qualities understood, says q
writer in the Ladies' World. The
acids OF the apple are of great use to
people of sedentary habits whose
livers are sluggish in action; they elm
inate from the body noXions mat
ters. which, i retaiDed, would ,eAzs ,- : : :;
the GRAIN heavy and dull, or bring
about iaundice or skin eruptions, and
other allied troubles. Some such eX-
perience must have led to the custom
of taking apple sauce with roast
pork. rich goose and like dishes. The
malic acid OF ripe apples, either raw
or cooked, will neutraliZe any excess
of chalky matter engendered by eat
ing too much meat.
1t is also the fact that such fresh
frnits as the apple, the pear and tn8
plum, taken when ripe, and without
sugar, diminish the acidity OF the
stomach rather than provoke it.
Their vegetable salts and juices are
converted into alkaline carbonates,
which tend to correct acidity. 4
good ripe. raw apple is one OF the
easiest of the vegetable substances
for the stomach to deal with, the
whole process of digestion being com

all apple poultice isapplied to inttam-
ed eyes, the apple being roasted, and

maxim teaches that
TO eat an apple going to bed,
The doctor then will beg his hrend."

LISTENED TO INSTRUCTIONS.
Four Thousand Chicago Carpenters Hold
q Mass Meeting.

q Mass Meeting.
CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Nearly four thousand
union carpenters held mass meeting in
Battery d armory to-day and listened to
the instructions of the carpenters coun-
Gil relative to the strike which
begins tomorrow. The assertion
of the master builders to the
effect that scarcely 1000 men would follow
the leaders and quit work looked rather
dubious in view of the attendance at the
meeting. The stlike is to-. enforce
raise in wages promised by the
months ago. Throughout the proceedings
determination to go out was met with pro-
longed ringing cheers. President James
OConneIl. of the carpenters council, asked
that every man belonging to the
carpenters unions report at their re-
spective meeting places on Tuesday
morning. There was some misapprehen-
sion felt. he said, that the men working Tor
bosses who were living up to the agreenent
were to be forced to remain idle. This was
not the case. 1t was desired that every
carpenter should report, and if it was
found that the union scale was being paid
the men would be- allowed to return to
work. Before adjournment the following
telegram was read from representative of
the council who visited the general head
quarters ofthe carpenters in Philadelphia:
The general executive board sanctions the
action and promise the support of the en-
tire United brotherhood"

French Papers.

Moved to this Country
on Its Account.

LONDON, Aug. 3l.-The chief topic Of dis
eussiOn in the French press continues to be
the tariff dispute with America. The articles
show great variety OF opinion as to the
proper course to be pursued by the govern
lnelrt. Some of the writers advocate bold
policy of self protection regardless of posi-
bic retaliation by the United States, while
others betray an almost ludicrous terror
lest France should lose tho American Gus
tom for some of her most important prod
ucts. These latter beseech the government
not TO do anything to anger the Washing
ton government. Among the former class
Ct journals is La Libcrte, which says that
the resolution in the American senate,
authorizing the president to exclude the
products of any country that discriminates
against American products, is nonsense, as
America could never do without French
wines, and the best classes in the United
State would protest against being deprived
of that and other luxuries and necessaries
supplied by France. The whole topic is a
burning one TOR French producers. The
English merchandise marks act has greatly
injured French trade with Great Britain, as
French goods can not longer be sold as Eng
lish manufacture, and the American tariff
bill has put the French in still unhappier
frame of mind.
AN UNCORROBORATED STATEMENT
The statement recently gained circulation
that some manufacturers in Germany who
have hitherto been largely engaged in pro-
ducing goods iOr the United States market
were making arrangements to transfer their
works to the latter country on account of
the increased duty on such goods by the
pending Mckinley tariff bill. A Berlin
correspondent states that he has been at
some pains to search for the facts and has
failed to discover any corroboration of the
rumor. The senior member of one of the
firms whose names have been mentioned as
among the probable emigrants told the
writer that there was no truth in the report
to far as that firm was concerned and he
believed that exceedingly few, ii any, other
| firms would transfer their business to
America ior the cause mentioned. He con
sidered it unsai ie to take such an important
step in the absence of any guarantee that
the high duties now adopted would be
maintained beyond the two years time
which remained OF the present administra-
ton. The same report included a state
ment that certain English manufacturers of
linen and other goods were also cOntem-
| plating emigration to the United States.
| Djligent inquiry thus far has failed to un-
! earth any such firms in England. The
large investments of English capital in the
| United States during recent years, it is
worthy ofnote, have been mainly in lines
OF industry which, like brewing, are nearly
it not quite independent of tariff huctua-
tions.

Four Severely Burned and Many Mar

NEW YORK, Aug. 3l.-Fires apparently of
incendiary origin started in six different
localities in Brooklyn last night and early
this morning, resulted in the injury Of
several persons and the arrest oftwo men
on suspicion o. being the incendiaries. Two
of the fires were started in the Gel
lars OF crowded tenement houses and in
the last one, three of the occupants were
severely burned IN making their escape
Their names arc Mary Moore, aged nineteen
years; John Schmidt aged nineteen months
and Amos and Ann Reilly, aged two years.
The aggregate loss was small as the fires
were promptly extinguished. The oc-
Cupants OF the tenanted houses in
most cases narrowly escaped death.
Rushes were made to the windows in frantic
efforts to get out, and many threw them
selves over the IRON railing of the fire es-
capes, where they hung until rescued by
the tiremen. A baby OF Annie Reilly, six
months old, was so badly burned that it
will probably die. Several OF tire tenants
who were aroused from their beds by the
alarm became dazed and groped their way
through the smoke-filled corridors, from
which they were taken out by the rescuers'
One fireman was overcome by smoke and
removed to the hospital.
