PLENTY OF COTTON AT ITS PRICs.
The Receipts Keep Increasing. But
Prices Don't Boost

The Receipts Keep Increasing. But
Prices Don't Boost.
Cotton receipts are simply phenomenal.
Yesterdays receipts at the ports were
-, $50 bales, against 63,s22 for the
same week last year, and a gain
OF nearly $1,000 over the previous
weeks receipts. Il lie impossible to boost
prices while such receipts as these continue.
Savaunah's receipts yesterday were 12. 1871
bales, against 1885 the same day last year
New Orleans received 0,404 bales
yesterday. Her receipts for the last three
DAYS are over 81, 900 bales.
Galveston and Charleston are also holding
up we'll as compared with last year.
The Columbia State says that as the fall
season dsepens the people of Columbia take
q greater interest in the approaching open
ing Of the South Bound railroad and are
anxiously awaiting the establishment of
connection with Savannah. A State
representative had 9 talk with Col
G. H Manson, one Of the citizens of
Columbia interested in the build
ing Of the road. Col Manson
said the road would be completed and
connection established by Oct 25. Col. Man
said that everything now seemed to indicate
that Savannah trade was coming TO Col
umbia with the roai. This be regarded as
very important, and believed that the large
Savannah firms would establish branch
houses here. The distance is so short, and
Savannah can ship cotton cheaper than
Charleston. he said the Savannah men
built the road to increase the business of
their port, and they intended TO carry out
their plans. All northern travel aud
through freight, he said, will use the South
Bound, and this, with the above, will mean
much for Columbia.
The general assembly in it's hit-or-iniss
style OF legislation came near striking
serious blow day before yesterday. 10 was
on the consideration of the free
pass hill and the probability is that IL the
members of the legislature had not been
unwilling to give up their free passes they
would have passed bill for
bidding railroads to issue free
passes to anybody, newspaper
men included. The question was on the
consideration of the bill to make it unlaw-
full for judges or members of the
legislature to accept free passes for
transportation over the railroads Of this
state. A substitute was offered making
IL unlawful to issue passes TO anybody. The
members Of the legislature, however, con-
clude6 that il would not be proper for them
to pass a ias .forbidding their successors to
accept free passes after they had ridden on
them Themselves until their term had
nearly expired.

In reply to the questions. often asked In
these days, "What does the Maine State So
ciety for the Protection of Animals intend to
do, for what purpose does 1t need money
and what is wanted for the fair In aid OF the
society?" we are glad to explain:
The object of the society is to ensure hu-
name treatment and protection from cruelty
to every dumb animal In the State of Maine,
from Aroostook to Kittery. The society
whose headquarters are at Portland, has
legal authority to do this work; it commits
sions local agents in different parts OF the
State, ard also holds its special agents ready
to assist In case of need. We call public at
tention to the humane treatment of animals
aud to the fact that they ale not slaves of
mankind, but co-workers and friends, who
earn aud have right to good food. shelter
and just aud merciful usage. Often sug-
gestion to thoughtless owners or drivers Is
enough; in other cases prosecution and pun
ishment are the only remedies for abuses.
We trust, in time, to be able to influence pub
lie sentiment so much that We shall rarely
be obliged to prosecute any offender. We
expect to do tubs by means of humane liter
allure and with the aid Of the lessons in kind
ness to animals already part of the pro-
gramme of the public schools. If the chill
dren of today learn and practice justice and
kindness, there is little to fear for the men
aud women Of the twentieth century. We
wish to spread such literature as the famous
Black Beauty, the illustrated monthly, Our
Dumb Animals. and other publications. We
must pay agents; costs Of investigation and
prosecution. often involving long journeys;
the current expenses of the society are to be
met. Therefore we need money.
If every one In Maine who has, or has had,
pet animal would, for the sake of that pet,
send some gift great or small, according to
the means of the giver, our fair would be an
assured success. A man who owns and ap-
preclates good horse cannot do better than
to contribute money to save aucther mans
horse from cruelty. No one must think that
gift may be too small to be acceptable; our
society is glad of every expression of SYM
patty and good will. and can promise that
every penny will do good. Charity toward
animals is never misdirected, they are always
worthy. always grateful, In associating with
them as no one learns evil, they are not in
clined to vice or to pauperism. The dumb
creatures are c0nfided to our care In the
world and we are answerable to their Creator
for their welfare.
To the question, "What shall do for the
falr?" we answer: Anything, everything
Send useful and fancy articles, homemade
jellies and pickles, candies. flowers, contri-
buttons of money: interest your friends to
do something. and finally, come the first
week in November to City hall. make pur-
chases at our booths and enjoy the brilliant
evening entertainments. Above all, let the
society know that 1t can count upon friends
In every part of the State.
1t will be favor much appreciated IL the
newspapers throughout Maine will kindly
present our appeal to their readers.

A Burglar Had His Own Way at
Boarding House.

Last Saturday man called at MIS- Oolpy
boarding house. corner of Spring ana high
streets. and told Mrs. Colby that MS name
wao Stevans he said he wished to engage
| hoard nc he was about TO start branch
houso for n Massachusetts, firm. and that the
90, Of the senior partner would come to
portlsnd in a day OF two and would also re-
onIre hoard. He requested an inexpensive
room, saying that If the business proved
successful larger and better room would be
required.
Mrs. Colby showed the stranger several
rooms, and he selected one on the third
floor. The man said he would move In that
afternoon, and about 3 O'Clock he appeared
with two valises. He told the servant, who
let him in. that he knew the way to his room
and thither he went. When tea.time arrived
the servant went TO the room to notify the
new boarder, but man and valises were gone.
No one missed anything, and the proceeding
was thought very strange on the strangers
part Mr.. and Mrs. George f. French,and
son occupy rooms ON the floor on which the
stranger rented one, but they were out of
town. When Mr.. French returned Monday
and heard the story, he looked about his
room, but missed nothing. His son, how
ever, missed desk, in which was a small
sum of money and valuable papers, but It
was afterwards found in closet, the lock
broken, but nothing gone. When Mrs.
French returned home Tuesday. she went to
the drawer where she kept her silver and
found 1t thoroughly cleaned out. mot a
fork or spoon even was left Evidently the
stranger had carried it all off In one of his
valises. Strange to say, he had left jswelry
and other property Of value alone. AS the
loss was discovered so late, Mr.. Stevens, as
he called himself, had a good long time in
which to make his escape. s.r
The thief, or burglar, is described as a
man about 40 years old. slim, about feet 8
inches tall. he wore straw hat with black
band and black facisgs, and had dark hair
and dark moustache.
The loss in solid silverware is said to have
been quite heavy one.
Burglars at stroudwater.
There were several burglaries at Stroud
water Wednesday and Thomas Conroy is
locked up on suspicion Of being connected
with them. The burglars got $50 from Mr.
Libby's house. They ransacked the house of
Mrs. l.. M. N. Stevens. getting note for
5000 which they left at Libby's on their next
call. Another note was torn up into such
small shreds that it could not be put together.
