has been for many years faithful MEM
Der and was attended by Rev w. M.
Weeks. A casket of black broadcloth
enclosed the remains. The two floral
pieces, an exquisite cross of tulips and
roses and a crescent, testified to the low
ing remembrance of her son Floyd, edit
or Of the Bridgeport Farmer. The SER
vices opened with the hymn by the choir,
NEARER my God to Thee" after which
Rev Il. B. Curtis offered prayer, followed
by the reading of comforting words

marks and prayer by her pastor. The

Another chapter of the fight between
the Italian workmen on the railroad and
Leonardo Schin6e, the boss, has been fin
ished. Last week, civil action was
brought against Schinde by Giovanni
Riccio and Cerrialo Petruccelli, two la
borers under him, who claimed that he
had defrauded them. They wanted him
attached for $500 damages, but claimed
only $25 and the bill of particulars final
ly showed 81, which, the Italians claim
ed, Sehinde had demanded from them
before he would give them work there.
The case was brought before Justice
Brothwell, Saturday, Judge Glover de-
Tending Schinde and Lawyer A. D. PEN
ney of Southport appearing for the Ital-
ians. Schinde made general denial
and claimed that the money he received
was given him simply in accordance with
his custom of demanding months rent
of 81 in advance for his shanty rooms.
He furthermore brought counter action
for bill against one of the Italians, Pet
ruccelli. Justice Brothwell found Schin-
de not guilty and also gave him iudg-
ment of 50 A against Petruccelli. Law
yer Penney announced his intention of
taking an appeal to the court of common
pleas. The history of this quarrel dates
back to the December strike on the rail-
road, when the Italians announced their
determination of BUSTING Schinde at any
cost. 1t is an Italian vendetta, in which
the slower processes of civil and criminal
courts are used in place of hand-to-iIa nd
coLficts.

We have heard no complaint as
yet of damage to the fruit crops in
this county. Peach and pear trees
are now blooming freely, and young
leaves are beginning to appear. The
apple trees have not put out their
blooms yet. We have often heard it
said that fruit is never killed in
March. The cold spell which almost
invariably follows Easter is the dam

The Columbian Cyclopedia.

The Columbian Cyclic pedia is the
new name and new form of what
has heretofore been known as Alden'S
Manifold Cyclopedia, and which has
won great popularity by its high
merit, combined with its amazingly
low price.
The Columbian Cyclopedia will
comprize 80 volumes, of about 800
pages each (the Manifold was 40 vol,
of $40 pages EACH being about equal
in size to Appleton's Cyclopedia, and
about 90 per cent. larger than john
sons. The entire set will contain
about 1000 Illustrations; it is very
handsomely printed and bound, and,
like the Manifold, is almost fabu-
lousy cheap, the entire set being
furnished in cloth binding for $500,
with easy installment terms to those
who want them. OF course, subscrip.
tons to the Manifold will be COM
pleted in uniform style with theearIy
volumes delivered.
Whoever is interested in cyclope-
diaS will do well to secure Gree
specimen pages of the Columbian,
which may be had by addressing The

In an article about corporation
matters week or two ago we stated
that the corporation tax of McMinn.
vile was GO cents on each 800 worth
of property, which was erroneous, the
tax being only so cents on each $l0G.
Five or six years ago, when our City
Schools were established, the corpora
ton tax was increased from % to 80
cents, and has remained unchanged
ever since. The present Board has
been charged with increasing the tax
alton, which is unjust. BY better
business management and closer COL
lections they have materially increas-
ed the revenues of the corporation,
but they have not increased the rate
of taxation one iota. The corpora.
ton of McMinnville maintains good
police regulations, one of the best sys-
TENS of city schools in the State, every
street in town graded and graveled,
has not dollar of bonded or floating
debt, but has money in the treasury.
And this is all done on so cent tax.
Is there another town in the State
which can make such a showing?

Don't Waste the Sebago.

That Portland is particularly favored in
regard to its water supply the present dry
time demonstrates. Although many cities
In New England are threatened with a
water famine the supply in this city has
Deen more than sufficient for all demands
both Tor fire protection and domestic use.
But Sebago lake has been falling off at.the
rate OF nearly half an inch per day since
the middle of June and if it continues
falling at this rate the time is not far off
when waste must be closely looked after.
The water company has purchased large
number of meters that will be set wherever
waste is permitted, ard hereafter such use
of water must be stopped or paid for ac-
cording to the quantity consumed. With a
little care on the part of water takers in
protecting their pipes from frost, and in
stopping the waste from all causes, there
will be no reason for a short supply should
the present dry weather continue for some
time longer
