Rev. w. d. Clark of Mechanic Falls was the

up by saying the aim was to bring the children IN

THOSE CURB CONTRACTS.
Mayor Winston Still Considering
Before Vetoing.

Mayor Winston has not yet decided
definitely whether he will veto the
curbing resolution. He will, if he
finds that further investigation war
rants the opinion he has already
formed. He is examining the matter
carefully and should he become salts
fed that the action of the council was
illegal, he will send the resolution back
10 that body without attaching thereto
his official signature. More of the alder
men were around the city hall yesterday
inquiring about the matter. The first in
timation received by them that the reso-
luton would not meet with the sanction
of the mayor was printed in the GLOBE
yesterday. They were considerably eX-
cited over it. Some were. Of course,
glad because affairs had taken such a
turn, but hot all of them. There will
be another fight in the council over the
matter. Some of the aldermen will
probably ask that ali curbing be left
over for another year. though that Sug
gestlon will scarcely be adopted. The
way chosen out Of the difficulty will
probably be one of twO-the resu0mis-
sion or the whole QUESTION and readver-
tisement for bids. or the award of the
bulk of the contracts to NyYaiI & West
lund.
The aldermen who asserted that
bond would be as good as action in ac-
cordance with the law are considerably
chagrlned. They do not seem TO con-
slider that bond is no bar to litigation.
While the city might be Unidentified for
actual outlay in the litigation, it would
nevertheless be put to deal of trouble.
And litigation is bound to come il the
mayor signs that resolution, for there is
any number of people who will escape
paying their assessments if they pos
Sibly can. Then bond is not the best
protection in the world. AS Assistant
City Attorney Simpson said yesterday:
NO man who goes on another's bond
will make good on it ii he can, by any
technicality, escape, and the court al
ways allows him to do it''
Yesterday afternoon Mayor Winston
waded through all the petitions for curb
and gutter, Determined TO know as
much as and little more than the aid
ermen about curbing and the desires of
the people.

Shrewd Plan by Which a Girl Was

Cured OF Stage Fever.
An incident which is said to have taken
place recently in Paris may be of use TO
some of our girl readers, says the
Canadian Queen.
A young woman Of high culture and
gentle breeding had been obliged to earn
her living as governess, and grew i'm

its few chances of advancement. She
fancied that she had great hTstrionic

A line from him to the stage manager

There she sat night after night, not see

vases, the machinery, the paint ana the
dirt, the hard. HOMOGENEOUS work, the
jealousy and sQuabblings, the WEAKNESS
of body and soul out of which the players
made the picture. Other sights and
sounds there were, too. which terrified
and sickened the pure and modes t
woman.
Before the first week was over she
left her place in the conliSSe, never TO

man who had SO shrewdly interposed
to save her
