Associated Charities.
The report of the Associated Charities fol

The report of the Associated Charities for
the month ending March 10Th says:
"The calls instead of diminishing have
rather increased since the opening of spring
and more cases for investigation have been
sent to us the past month than in any pre-
vious one. Most of these families have been
very needy. and SO far as we could ascertain
worthy.
We are aided much In our work by mes
sages which come to US from the ladies in
the work room. For instance a family leav-
Ing the city were glad to give bag of flour
to any one who would come for it. A needy
widow is notified to whom 1t was very ac-
ceptable. The same happened with articles
Of clothing. Much has been given which
has been of great service, and we would sug-
gest to any who may find it difficult to know
where to bestow their charities to send us
word, as we always know of some one ready
to receive.
1t is always pleasant as well as encourag.
ing to know that seed sown in the past has
not been lost. More than a year ago Mrs.
Lilly. In her kind ana gentle way. drew out
from wife and mother the acknowledge
ment that she INDUCED in the use of liquor
She was strongly urged to abandon such a
ruinous practice and induced by her to sign
a pledge. The case was placed In the hands
of one Of our most faithful visitors who care
fully watched over her and can now report
that she has been true to her pledge.

SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.

The following decisions aud rescripts have
been received from the Law Court.
KNOX COUNTY.
Inhabitants of Rockland VS.. Mary G.
Farnworth.
Rescript, by Judgs Whitehouse. Action
OF debt brought by the city of ROcSland to
recover the amount of a tax assessed On the
personal property of the defendant for the
year 1885.
1t Is alleged In the plaintiffs declaration
that the defendant was an inhabitant Of the
city of R0ckland on the first day of April OF
that year. This is material averment and
1t Is incumbent on the plaintiff to establish
it by competent evidence as apecessary part
of the city's case.
But careful scrutiny Of the report not only
fails to disciose direct and positive evidence
ofsuch residence in Rockland, but any evil
dence. whatever, from which that fact can
be legitmately. inferred.
Whether this fatal emission was occa-
stoned by inadvertence or necessity does not
distinctly appear; but as no injustice can re-
suit from allowing the plaintiff an opportu-
nifty to supply the omission. II the evidence
exists, we think the plaintiffs motion to
have the report discharged should be grant,
ed aud the case remanded for trial. Report
discharged.
LINCOLN COUNTY.
John l.. Thomson vs. Benjamin NJ Lewis.
Rescript, by Judge Whitehouse. Action
Udccu vi Chapter IL VI Lu6 1EIVdt6 anu 0p6c-
ial Laws of 1867, to recover the penalty for
taking smelts from Damariscotta river by
the use of nets and seines In December. 1889.
and January, 1890.
/. This act has never been expressly re-
pealed. No subsequent legislation exists
which can be held to operate as a repeal of
1t. There is no subsequent enactment nee
essarily inconsistent with IL. and no act
which can be deemed a substitute for 1t as
embracing all of its provisions. Chapter %
OF the Public Laws of 1878, did not become
law until March %, 1878, thirty days after
the adjournment of the legislature passing
the act; while the general revision of the
fishery laws found In chapter rs of the laws
Of the same year took effect when approved
February 81, 1878. Thus 1t appears that
when the exemption of the Damariscotta
river was limited by chapter % Of the laws
of 1875 the onlay applicable to the subject
then in force was chapter rs of the laws of
1878. That act contains no provisions relat-
ing to smelts inconsistent with the act of
1867. With respect to time the two acts are
exact compliments Uf each other and to-
gether embrace the whole year. They are
not In conflict.
III. 1t is not valid objection that several
counts are joined in the plaintiffs declara-
ton, and ii anyone of the counts is good the
declaration must be sustained On general de-
murer. Exceptions sustained. Demurrer
overruled.

The Fist In Politics.

The struggles necessary to the process Of
Transforming town into city have created
considerable bad blood In Westbrook and
yesterday afternoon the trouble betu cen two
OF the citizens eliminated in knock-down
fight near the railroad station at the West
End-otherwise Saccarappa An elderly
man named Conroy, father of the telegraph
operator at the station, made some remark
aoout voting that aroused the Ire CT Walter
Pride, the hackman. who resorted to the
forcible reply of blow straight from the
shoulder that felled Mr.. oonroy like log.
Bystanders at once interfered, help Mr.. Con-
roy up and protected him from further
violence. A warrant was issued for Pride,s
arrest on the charge Of assault and battery
and he will probably come before Judge
Shaw this morning.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE BLACK FLAG.


Last night the melo-drama of "The Black
Flag" was given at Portland Theatre to
very well satisfied audience. The scene of
the drama is laid in England, near the shore
overlooking the Isle of Portland, which was
at that time one of England's great penal
colonies. The story deals with the Glyn-
dons. an old English family. Irven Glyndon
the land owner, has two sons; Jack Glyndon
Is proud, naughty. aristocratic, who purports
to be alawyer In London, but In reality Is
spendthrlft, a ne'er-do-well: Harry, the 9TH
er son, the pride of the peasantry, beloved
by all with the exception Of the elder GIyn.
aon' MS stepfsther, Is wrongfully accused of
the crime of forgery. which crime was per-
petrated by his brother Jack. who relentless
ly pursues the prosecution that he might
sever the ties Of love between Harry and
Naomi Blandford. The prosecution is kept
up until Harry is landed In the penal SETTLE
ment on the Isle of Portland. There he re.
mains prisoner until one night the ominous
tolling of the island bell and the hoisting of
the black flag proclaims that a convict has
escaped. Harry secures his freedom with
the aid of little waif that he had befriend-
ed. and his prosecutor comes to grief. MIR.
j. Gordon Edwards gave capital portrayal
Of Harry Glyndon. the vagabond and ne'er-
do-well brother, while Miss Kate Glassford
was strong as Naomi Blandford, Harry's
sweetheart. Annie Nc Weigh was particu-
larry good as "Ned, the Walf." Justin Paige
was good Jack Glyndon, James X. Keepe
was at home in the part of Sim Lazarus, the
sharper, and the other parts were well as
sumed. The piece was we'll put on the stage
Between the acts the variety turns elected
much applause. The play will be repeated
tonight and Saturday matinee and evening.
MR.. DUNCAN's ORGAN RECITAL.
The lovers of music are looking forward to
Mr.. Duncan's fifth organ recital, which will
take place on Saturday afternoon, at $50
| o'clock, In Congress Lsquare church. We
hope Mr.. Duncan will repeat at this, CT the
following recital. the "Infiammatus," from
''Stabat Mater" which was heard with SO
much pleasure few weeks ago. Miss
Knights fine voice and Miss Goodwin's
skillful playing on the violin will be valua-
BILE additions to the organ music. Musically
speaking. we may say that there is cres-
cendo of interest in these fine recitals.

Purify
Your Blood

At the coming OF spring the blood should be
purified, as impurities which have been accumu-
lating for months or even years, are liable to
manifest themselves and seriously effect the
health. Hoods Sarsaparilla is undoubtedly the
best blood purifier. 1t expels every faint of i'm
purity, drives out scrofulous humors and germs
OF disease and gives to the blood the quality and
tone essential to good health.
A Severe Case Of scrofula.
my little daughters life was saved, as we
believe. by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Before she was
six months old scrofula sores began to appear on
different parts of her body, and in a short time
she had running sores. Two physicians were
called but they gave US no hope One of them
advised the amputation Of one Of her fingers. to
which we refused assent. Our attention was
called to Hoods Sarsaparilla, and we began civ.
ing it TO her. A marked Improvement was noticed
after she had taken only one bottle, and by a
continued use OF 1t her recovery was complete.
And she is now, being seven years old, strong and
healthy. The other members of my family have
been greatly benefited by Hoods Sarsaparilla.
