1t is generally admitted that the rumshops
were very tightly closed in Lewiston last
week, and that no liquor was sold ON the
grounds. The wheel of fortune did not go
round either as it did year ago. Yet there
was the biggest crowd ever seen at State
fair in Maine, and the society has made
money. Evidently rum and gambling are
not necessary to draw people to agrlcultu-
raj fairs. no more than they are to attract
them TO summer hotels

Interviews with the clergymen of Boston
In regard to their views as to the opening If
the Chicago fair on Sunday show the ortho-
dox ministers generally opposed. Among
the Universalist and Unitarian clergy. there
Is some difference of opinion, though the
majority are in favor Rev. E. A. Horton
believes the fair should be opened on Sun
day, first because he thinks Sunday should
be made bright and cheerful day; secondly
because similar experiments in keeping open
public Institutions have been successful.
Rev. L. l.. Rexford says the men who try
to advance the humanitarian side of Chris
tianity are in favor Of Sunday opening.
while those who advance the theoretical and
theological side are in favor of the reverse.
The fair is an educational movement, and 1t
Is most important that the people who toll
all the week should have an opportunity to
take advantage of it. Rev. James De Nor
mandie said he was in favor of the opening
OF the fair provided that no unnecessary
work Is undertaken and that extra work will
not fall upon the employees. Rev. Edward
Everett Hale said he was glad to 60 on rec.
ord as believing in the Sunday opening of
the Worlds Fair. Rev. A A. Miner, on the
contrary. unquall6edly objected to opening
the fair on Sunday. Such proceeding, be
thought, would be disgrace to the nation.

President Polk, of the Farmers Alliance
thinks that Cleveland will be the Democratic
candidate for President, and that his candi
dacy will bring about revolt 10 the South
ern States that will enable the Peoples
Party to carry every one Of them. About a
year hence Polk will discover that as
prophet he is complete failure. The South
no doubt would like free silver, but it had
rather lose that than give up its present grip
on the national government, as it might by
splitting up into factions.

What a Modern Gun Can Do.


Unless one is actually brought into
business relations with the great sci
ence of modern warfare, it is difficult
to conceive of the terrible power Of the
latest guns. These engines of destruc-
ton, weighing 10 tons, hurl a project
lie of solid steel 1G inches in diameter
and nearly 1 feet long at a velocity OF
2,OI9 feet second. When tested re,
Gently, one of these guns sent a shot
through 90 inches of steel armor, s
inches Of iron, 90 feet of oak, 5 feet of
granite, Il feet of concrete and 3 feet
Of bIick. Comparatively, a locomotive
weighing 100000 pounds would have
to spin along the tracks at the rate of
1856 miles an hour to strike a blow
equal to that projecti!e. Think of the
damage wrought in railroad collision
whore the train speeds along at the
rate oil 80 miles an hour, and one may
calculate the destructiveness of modern
ordnance.

ACCORDING to Prof. Agassiz, who
mado a lifetime study OF the glacier
subject, the catastrophe which en-
veloped all of the old world north of
the thirty-fifth parallel with huge
mountains of ice, was sudden. lis
theory has been adopted by nearly all
the great geologists. The meat OF the
mammoths has been cut out perfectly
fresh and sound by those who dis.
covered them. The plants and leaves
which have been found were distinct
as any that grow now-and they all
proved to be of tropical growth--the
change was so instantaneous that they
had no time to wither and decay: pro.
duced doubtless by some change of the
earth, which transformed paradise
into an Arctic zone Of perpetual ice.

HAsHED PoTAToEs.-A delicious
method of serving cold potatoes for
breakfast is hashed and Drowned.
Hash eight cold boiled potatoes. Put
a tablespoonful and half of butter in
a frying pan; season the potatoes with
pepper and salt, turn them into the
hot butter in the frying-pan, smooth
them out and set them back where
they will brown slowly. In from 10 to
ID minutes begin to turn them. Fold
them over on one side of the pan like
an omelet, and dish the Drowned roll
as you would an omelet into the center
OF a meat platter. 1t requires some
skill to manage this dish without
breaking it in the taking up. 1t is
sometimes an improvement to add two
tablespoonfuls Of cream to the hashed
potatoes before they are put into the
pan.

Rescue of the Steamer WELLINGTON.

y Tacoma dispatch of the 9th say.
that the steamship San Pedro had ar
rlvci at that port from San Francisco
for coal, and brought in a thrilling
tale oI the rescue by the San Pedro OF
the steamer Wellington, eighty-one
miles off Cape Flattery, when the
Wellington was all but lost. The
Wellington left Departure Bay Octo-
Der 2Sth, with 1890 tons of coal for
san Francisco. Two days later, when
the steamer was-of Cape Blanco, the
! thrust-slaft was found to be broken
i'll the thrust bearings. The shaft was
secured by iron chains, and from that
time until 1 o'clock the following day
the steamer drifted about, but was
then picked up by the Norwe yian
steamer Marie. After great difficulty,
the Marie got the Wellington IL cable,
and then started to tow her to Cape
Flattery, 80 miles distant. Tie tow
lasted for twenty -four hours, when the
line parted. 1t was renewed, to break
again in an hour. Two lines were
then secured to the Wellington, but
soon aiterwari a gale came up and
both cables parted just as darkness
came on, and the Marie then aban-
doncd all attempts to tow the crippled
steamer, and left her to make out as
best she could. Every moment the
storm grew more furious, and great
waves swept over the Wellington con-
tinually. She was practically under
water for hours, and every member of
the crew thought that the morning
would find themselves and the steamer
no more. Tuesday afternoon the San
Pedro hove in sight on her way from
San Francisco to Tacoma. The gale,
which had let up for a time, took new
life ard became as violent as before.
Captain Hewitt, in the face OF the ter
rlble danger, without hesitation, or
dered the San Pedro alongside the
Wellington. As the San Pedro ap-
preached the Wellington, both steam
ers were lost to sight in every roll of
the sea. After a splendid display OF
seamanship, Captain Hewitt placed
his vessel right under the bow of the
Wellington. A.ter a time, the latter
managed to get a steel cable from the
San Pedro, but it parted in ten min
utes. In another hour another cable
had been stretched between the
steamers, and a start for Flattery was
made. Not wishing to lose tie cable,
Captain Hewitt proceeded slowly,
making only six knots an hour. Off
Royal Roads, the tug Lorne took the
Wellington in tow, and towed her to
Esquimalt harbor, late Wednesday
afternoon. Captain Salmons, of the
Wellington, has paid the highest COM
pliment to Captain Hewitt for his
brave work, in letter to the latter.

TIE fight between the Northern and
Union Pacific railroads at Oaksdale
grows hotter. The Northern found it
necessary to completely encircle the
Sweeney and alliance warehouses with
their tracks to keep the Union out of
the field, and before the road was COM
pleted an injunction was served, for
bidding them to lay any more track.
Thcreupon the Union laid track out
side OF the Nurthern's and subseuuent-
ly, an engine stood all night at the end
OF the Northern Pacific track to prevent
the Union from crossing. AS fast as
the rails are laid, the Union is filling
them with cars, ana the work is pro-
crossing rapidly. 1t is supposed that
the Union will load theirs by carving
sacks over the top Of the Northern
cas-, or at the wagon crossings. The
employees of both roads are very bitter
