THE NEWEST name mentioned In connec'
ton with the filling of the vacancy In the
Cabinet, to be caused by the resignation OF
Mr.. Proctor, Secretary Of War, is that OF ex-
Assistant Postmaster General Oarkson. BS
all means Mr.. Olark5on should have the
place. He expected he would have 1t when
he was an accomplish of Mr.. Dudley In the
famous "blocks OF five" letter, and when he
inoited the theft of. and chen bought, the
subscription list of the Voice. and If there be
honor among thieves, which wise men
doubt, he should certainly have 1t. His
failure to get position In the Cabinet when
that body was frat organized made him
doubt whether Mr.. Harrison be capable of
the emotion of gratitude, and has stuck In
his craw ever since, and Ii he be again dis
appointed he is cook sure to be against Mr..
Harrison and for Mr.. Blaine, while, should
he get 1t, he will be just as cure to be the

posed Chicago fair: II Congress. eighteen
months ago, had been able to look into the
future, the great and honorable task award
ed to Chicago would have gone elsewhere or
nowhere" From present indications it sp-
pears that the fair referred to will be the
fissco of the century, and that all the money
spent in its preparation will be so much
thrown away. Certainly there is no con-
caivabe reason why Virginia should sink
any Of her small supply on ny such poIiii-
cal sud partisan concern. So late az Monday

was held up and sill the sslariss continued

accrue to the paid officials thereof.

Ihosa Roxar Guns.

10 the Editor of the Press:
In an article on Isaac Fickett, by William
Goold, published In the PRESS Of March 9th, f,
1877. he thus speaks of the Boxers guns"
In speaking Of the privateer "Hyder Ali"
he says: "To complete the ship for war
vessel they purchased Of William and Thom-
as Merrill the entire armament Of the prize
brig Boxer which was taken and brought
into Portland by the brig Euter prise few
months before, and of which the Merrills
had become the owners. The purchase In
cluded guns OF all kinds, cutlasses, pistols,
boarding-pikes and breakers to hold water
on boat expeditions. l am thus particular
about the disposition of the armament Of the
Boxer, as every few years we hear OF some
old cannon represented as one of the Box
er's guns for which there Is Ii tile authority,
as Mr.. Fickett assisted to place the entire
armament on board the Hyder Ali, which
never returned to Portland"
The priyateer Hyder Ali was captured in
the East Indies by the British 64-gun ship
Owen Glend0wer, In 1914, and never returued
to this country. The fate OF the BOXERS
guns" will probably never be known.

In the Supreme Court at Auburn, the case
Of the Eureka Hosiery Company against
Mrs. Evans Of Portland. was brought up Sat.
urday morning. The Eureka Hosiery Com
pany Of Auburn, Of which NJ. G. PercIval

who went to Portland and sold some goods
to Mrs. Eysns, for which she paid him the

mark to the effect that the price Of the goods
must be paid direct to the factory. PulsIfer
came around again and sold Mrs. Evans
some more goods, to the value Of Sl1.75 and
she paid him the money. The company had
allowed her to pay the first bill to PulsIier
and had allowed her credit for IL. When
she paid the second bill to Pulsifer. they did
not allow her credit for 1t, and sued her for
It. At the conclusion Of the testimony the
judge directed the jury to return a verdict
for the plaintiff Of Slf.75. The case Is to 90
forward to the law court on exceptions.
