of Auburn, will be married in April to
Mr.. Harrison r. Thornton of Virginia
and their wedding tour will be to one of
the most bleak and .inhospitable lands
ON earth. Miss Pratt has been doing
missionary work for the past two years
among the poor of New York city and

meeting and will certainly have a
romantic honeymoon for their future

Wales and Cape Prince of Wales is that
ice-bound spur of the great Alaskan
peninsula that reaches out to almost
touch the shores of Asiastic Siberia

News.
WASHINGTON, February "a. Repre-
sentative Springer of Illinois, chairman
of the ways and means committee of the
House, this evening, said: ''Until the
meeting of the Albany convention, it
was not authoritatively determined what
course should be pursued by the Democ-
racy Of New York as between Senator
Hill and ex-President Cleveland. That
question has now been settled. The De-
mocracy of New York have but one can
didate. For him their delegation has
been instructed to vote as unit, with a
unanimity seldom witnessed in state con-
ventions. 1t would be folly for other
states to insist upon Mr.. Cleveland's
nomination when his own state has unan-
mously declared for another. Those
friends of his in New York who propose
to hold another convention and send an
other set of delegates to the National
Convention are doing him great injus-
tice. Mr.. Cleveland owes it to the party
that has been so true to him, to abide by
the action of his party in his state, and
declare himself a Democrat as loyal to
Democratic usages and organization as to
Democratic principles. The Democratic
party at this time is earnestly endeavor-
ing to reinstate itself in power. This
can only be done by united and determin-
ed action. Boilers will find no favor
with the Democratic masses, whether
they be in New York or elsewhere
Mr.. Springer added that the Demo-
Gratis might find it necessary to unite in
third man. He favored Senator Palmer
of Illinois.

A FORTUNE. in ENGLAND.
Friends of John Squire Hope 1t viii Not
Prove Castle in Spain.

BANGOR, February "a Last Thursday,
John S. Squire of this city received a let
y ter from, his brother in California, who
said that he had just been notified by an
attorney in England that they were heirs
to an estate valued at e27, 900 in Liver
pool, the property of a deceased aunt.
Mr.. Squire had not heard from any rela-
tives across the water for 80 years, OF
since leaving England, and of course this
letter was great surprise to him. The
property represents what is known as the
Light House, in Liverpool, and is place
where thousands of people gather to
drink and discuss the doings of the day.
Squire is man of 55 years of age, and
is stevedore. He is in comfortable cir
cumstances. His friends trust the report
that he is one of heirs to the $135, 200 left
by the relative is true.

GREEN GOODS sHARPERs.


Senate Asked to Move Against Flourish
ing Swindle.
WASHINGTON, February 24.-In the
Senate today, MI. Manderson, referring
to the ''green goods" business, said there
was no law on the statute book to reach
that great evil, or rather crime. He ac-
cordingly introduced three bills intended
to remedy it. These bills were read by
the titles and referred to the judiciary
committee.
The Senate resumed consideration of
the Idaho election case, and was adj
dressed by Mr.. Stewart in favor of the
claim of Mr.. Claggett.
Mr.. Turpie argued in favor of the ma
jority report that Mr.. Dubois is entitled
to the seat. The question, he said, was
wholly judicial, both the claimants being
Republicans. He maintained that the
organization of the Legislature which
elected Dubois was sufficiently complete
to meet the requirements of the law.
Referring to Mr.. Stewards argument
that the Legislature was not organized,
as it had not elected it's officers, Mr.. Tur-
pie said he had heard of many ways of
counting quorum, but never heard of a
presiding officer counting employees to
make quorum.
Mr.. Frye offered an amendment to the
bill now before the finance committee on
the subject of national banks
declaring that they shall be
prohibited from paying interest on de
posits. He offered it, he said. by request.
He had not examined the matter with
sufficient care to have,a at least to express,
an opinion on it's merits now. He asked
the finance committee to examine the
matter. He knew that many national
banks had run races to obtain deposits
amendment was referred to the finance
committee.

WASHINGTON, February Ex-senator
Morrill, today reported adversely Senator
Coke's bill to amend the law regarding
national bank associations SO as to dis
continue their circulation. In the report
submitted, Mr.. Morrill, says it is obvious
the bill would cause large reduction on
the day of its passage of the money now

traction by prohibiting the banks at once
from using their circulating notes. This
