championship rests with Williams after a

Williams and Amherst was expected to set

The keeIev Cure.
To the Editor of the Press:

10 the Editor of the Press:
There is good deal Of misinformation
in the community about the character Of
the Keely cure. 1t does not profess to eradl-
cate from alcoholic victims the seeds and
roots of alcoholic poisoning; all it claims
to do Is to place its patients, without suf-
feriHs, in two or three weeks where the re-
formed inebriate will find himself after
many months Of struggle and suffering.
That Is to say, he will feel himself freed
from the alcoholic habit. A gentleman
whom L knew well-a bank cashier in
Massachusetts-t0ld me that he had made
three ab0rtive attempts to free himself
from 1t. but the suffering was so great that
he could not (did noD persevere. But at
last he resolved on another effort, deter
mined to succeed-as he did-llye or die !;
out ne would not go through that agony
again for all the money in the Bank OF
England.
The keely cure merely places the patient

A Word TO Drivers of Horses.

To the Editor of the Press:
The asphalt pavement on the upper part
OF Congress street has-with its many ad-
vantages-the one drawback of slipperi-
ness In wet or frosty weather. Residents
In that part Of the street say that 1t Is not
uncommon to see six or eight horses fall
on the pavement in the course Of q day.
The danger can be entirely avoided by
means of little care on the part Of
drivers; the pavement Is not slipper,
enough &c cause q h6sssS s6 iissA Eniess BE D
driven too fast, or turned aside or arOunt
corner too suddenly. The chief com
plant, which our Society for the Protec
IIon OF Animals Is constantly hearing, |.
tnat drivers OF some of the provision
grocery and fish dealers wagons over
drive and maltreat their horses. We wish
to refrain from prosecution In these cases,
because this would involve the names Of
the prOpriet0rs Of the teams, who are
probably In every case, humane men and
unaware that their drivers are not always
competent and kind. Members of our
society have on various occasions, gone to
the pr0prietors and brought the cases 20
their personal notice; we have been in
variably met with courtesy and thanked
for the suggestions made. Where the
owners or other responsible men drive the
horses. there Is, Of course, no cause for
complaint. But too often, horse Is en-
trusted to boy, careless or ignorant. who
uses the whip, hurries the animal uphill
and down, stops him abruptly-tU the GER
tain injury Of the hprse's legs-turns
corners at run, cuts across the street re-
gardless OF car-tracks or Of going rudely in
front of other teams. Boys will be- boys
yet there is great choice among them
And some Of the provision dealers will do
we'll to watch their young drivers on the
street; while others are to be congratulated
upon having In their employ the right sort
of boys-c0nsiderate, kind and intelligent
toward their horses. Portland Is famous
for good horses, and ought TO be equally
celebrated for good drivers.

Dear Sir-Your favor of the 10Th inst making

In reply, ami pleased to state that the stat
upon the Board of Railroad Commissions, ex-
eept that section OF chapter 81 of the Revised
Statutes OF the state provides as follows: "Said
corporations may establish and collect such
tolls for transportation OF persons and freight
over its road as the directors deem fair and
reasonable, and shall have lien on its freighr
therefor; but upon what shall, at any time. be
deemed by the Railroad Commissioners, a suffic.
lent complaint by Interested and Responsible
parties, tnat the tolls are unreasonably high,
SAID commissioners may revise and establish
them, after due notice aud hearing, for a time
not exceeding one year. But the Commission
before directing said hearing, shall give oppor
tunity to the company complained OF, to reply to
The charge"
Under the foregoing provisions, it will be
seen that the Board of Railroad Commissioners
in this state, have but limited powers in respect
to fixing traffic rates.
The legislatures of this state have heretofore
believed that those who have expended money
ana have constructed and operated a railroad
IN particular locality, are better Judges of
what are and what are not reasonable rates or
charges, than any commissioners can be- and
fnrther that railroad corporations have right
to reasonable and profitable return for The
money invested in any such enterprise. The
railroads In Maine have been operated in SUCH a
manner that no complaint has ever been made
to the Board of Railroad Commissioners even
under the provisions OF the above quoted stat
