Yarmouth Poultry Association.

The Yarmouth Poultry Association will
hold their fifth annual exhibition at Masonic
Hall, Yarmouth, January 18th to 18th, 1891.
They have the best list Of special premiums
that they have ever had. 1t includes over
$500 in cash, besides the society premiums,
all Of which will be paid in full at the close
Of the exhibition.
Suffi ,ient entries have already been re-
ceived to guarantee large exhibit. This as
sociation has made important changes In the
way Of awarding premiums, which will be
much to the advantage of the exhibitors.
Formally II one bird In the pen was disquali-
fed II threw out the whole coop; now each
bird stands on its own merits. The exhib-
itor's best pair being his best male with best
female. whether in the same coop or not,
likewise the best breeding pen will be the
best male together with the best four fe-
males, whether in one coop or five different
ones. All the above to be Of the same va
rlety and age. The same male may be In
both the best pair, and best breeding pen.
The fire which destroyed the show at Lew
iston last winter, by which so many exhib-
itors lost all their best birds. taught this as
ISOLATION lesson, aud they place an
insurance of $1,000 upon the stock en-
tered at their show. to be divided among the
exhibitors In case of loss. This Of course
would not pay the full value Of many of the
birds. and will not In the Least relax the
committees efforts to prevent such a catas-
trop1e. Competent men will be at all the
trains to see that the stock on arriving Is
properly cared for, and conveyed to and
from the hall. Every effort will be made to
entertain visitors and the genial secretary,
F. E. Gore, will be ready to answer all Ques-
tions pertaining to stock or premiums. 1t is
earnestly hoped that all interested in poultry
will attend aud encourage those who have
labored hard to make the exhibition a sue

WASHINGTON, January s.-The exact day

September 30th, 1891, at the expiration Of

ness with which the case was presented was
a surprise. although the influence brought to
bear is sufficient explanation. At the de-

Miller was inclined to say very little about
the pardon, although he did say that it was
granted without the recommendation of the
Judge who imposed the sentence.

WITH CONCLUSIONS.
General Manager Tucker In a Bos-
ton hospital.

Boston, January 8.-Payson Tucker of
Portland. Me, vice president and general
manager of the Maine Central railroad, was
taken suddenly i'll at the Adams House this
and was conveyed to the Massachusetts
General Hospital.
Mr.. Tucker, accompanied by his wife. ar
rived at the Adams House Monday morning
from Washington. where he had been on a
business trip with hon. A. A. Strout to pre-
sent the case of William Z. Gould to the
President. urging his pardon.
Mr.. Tucker was In his usual health up to
last evening and showed no symptoms of
illness.
During the night he was taken sick and
grew worse toward morning At 9 o'clock
DIR. j. Foster Bush was summoned. He or
dered his immediate removal to the hospital.
He pronounced the attack c0nvulsions and
said that serious results may be feared.
A call at the hospital at noon found Mr..
Tucker resting quietly. The physician In
charge. DR.. Bates. said he did not know how
the case might turn, but hoped that the con-
Vulsions would not reappear.
Mrs. Tucker Is still at the Adams House
quite overcome at the suddenness of her
husbands attack and the grave possibilities
which the case presents.
When the report was first made current
Mr.. Tncker's intimate friends feared apo
plexy, as he Is man Of full habit. The pre-
cipitating cause of his sickness Is said to be
drinking of an ice cold glass of milk which
affected his gastric nervous system. No one
Is permitted to see the patient. Mr.. Strout
called at noon, but the nurse did not arouse
him, though he Is believed to be conecious.
DIR. Bush was seen at O'Clock this after
noon and said:
II was called to attend Mr.. Tucker early
this morning. He had been suffering for
some hours and had a number of violent con-
vulsiOns. l ordered him removed to the hos
pital. as he could be more eacily cared for
there than at the hotel"
"Row serious is the attack?"
1T is impossible to say now. He may not
have any more conyulsions. II he does not
he will get along all right. He has had a
previous attack of the kind, l understand"
Later-It Is reported from the Massachu-
setts General Hospital late tonight that the
condition OF Payson Tucker Is much i'm
proved. There has been no recurrence Of
commissions and his physicians look for his
speedy recovery.

Washington Despatch to New York Evening
Post.l
1t cannot yet be decided whether the Civil
Service Commission will Interfere In the case
Of Major Shorey, who was re-appointed to
the place he formerly held as weiRher and
gauger In the custom house at Portland, Me,
made vacant by the removal Of its late Occu-
pant A. L. Farnsworth. Several questions
must first be settled.
Even this, however, would not necessarily
involve the restoration OF FarnswoIth. That
would probably have to be done by the act OF
the President.
When Commissioner Roosevelt was asked
this morning what had been done In the case
he answered: I'VE have received Mr..
FarnswOrth's letter OF complaint, and have
written to COlle,tor Dow to find out MS side
Of the case. Upon his answer will depend,
in a large measure, our further cOure. We
have. furthermore, called upon our civil ser
vice board on the spot for a staten mt Of the
facts. II what we get from that source is
net entirely satisfactory, we shall undertake
an Investigation Of our own. One Of us will
go to Portland In person to make It."
