Died from Apoplexy.

Yesterday afternoon, about o'clock,
Gilbert Grant, a colored man, about 70
years old, was found dead at his home
on Newbury street by John P. ,Junco, a
lad about IA years of age. Grant was
lying in the front doorway, with his feet
protruding outside. He evidently had
died of apoplexy. Coroner Gould was
called but deemed an inquest unnecessa-
ny. Mr.. Grant was last seen about 2
o'clock in the afternoon, and then APP
peared to be in his usual good health,

Sad Death of Miss Louise S. Maxfeld, of
Stroudwater.

The people of Stroudwater were sad
dened last evening by the death of Miss
Louise S. Maxfeld, daughter of Mr..
Charles M. Maxfeld. Miss Maxfeld,

in ill-health and Respondent for about a

yesterday afternoon about $50 o'clock,
one OF the members of the family, upon
going to her room, found her hanging

dead from Strangulation.

Kindergarten Graduating Exercises.

The kindergarten Normal Glass held
their graduating exercises yesterday
afternoon at the Kindergarten. The
rooms were filed with friends of the
| class and of the cause, and the teachers
are to be congratulated on the happy
manner in which the programme was
c arried out.
After the opening songs and hymns,
an essay entitled ''What Is Kindergar-
temp was read by Miss Mabel Leavitt of
Saco. The education of children has
received the attention of great minds for
centuries, but Feoebel has proved the
greatest teacher that has yet arisen. He
lkens child to plant. When good OPP
portunities are given for development,
the child like the plant attains its best
growth.
After the fall and winter songs, came
an essay by Miss Grace Lowell of Saco,
on 'sThe Educational Value of the Kin
dergarten, " which showed great thought.
Play is the natural expression of the in
ner nature. Everything learned has
some value in developing the child and
connecting him with the outside world.
The writer urges accuracy in all work.
Then followed songs of the trades, given
with much spirit. Miss Mary Norton of
Portland had, as the subject of her es-
say, "Stories in the Kindergarten
There are too few stories told. They
are of vast educational value, stimulate
imagination and plant the germ of good
literature.
A gift lesson was charmingly given by
Miss Lowell.
Between group of spring and sum-
mer songs, Miss Martha Cortt of Saco,
read an essay on the Cultivation of the
Senses" The senses should be carefully
trained as means of moral training in
after life.
The closing paper was by Miss Grace
Atkinson of South Berwick, 1.-THE rela-
ton of the kindergarten to the primary
school, was clearly set forth, showing
that the advantages of a kindergarten
training follows one through life.
The gymnastics were the embodiment
of grace and the games pleasing. Miss
Jennie Proctor, the first kindergarten
of Portland, and Rev. Mr.. Ayres, made
remarks suitable to the occasion.

Stricken with Apoplexy.

Yesterday morning the hands on the
steamer fremont found a man lying in
his state room unconscious. At first it
was thought he was sleeping but later he
was found to be in a stupor. He was
taken to the police station, where City
Physician Sullivan pronounced it a case
of apoplexy, and that the man could not
recover. From the papers that were
found in his pockets it appears that the
mans name is George Care. He is evil
IDENTIFY an Englishman by birth and 81
years of age, one of his various discharge
papers from service on vessels stating
that he was born in 1888. In his valise
was an envelope newly addressed, along
with some writing paper and new pen.
The address on the envelope was ssMrs.
George Care, 49S SWEET street, South
Boston," In his pocket was a letter
from gentleman who addressed him as
s'My Dear Uncle" This man was evi
IDENTIFY a Presbyterian clergyman from
the letter, which deals with literary and
religious topics, and makes considerable
reference to the trial of the Rev. Mr..
Briggs. The letter is signed R. H. P.
Miles, and is dated at 40 East Goth street,
New York. kilograms were sent to
Mrs. George Care, SWEET street, Boston.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
the man came to enough to say his name
was George Care, that he was Scotch
English Irishman, that he lived in South
Boston, and had son living. He said
he knew Mr.. Pearson of Portland. He
declared he hadn't been drinking. He
was taken to the almshouse and was
somewhat better in the evening.
Much criticism has been expressed
that the man was not taken to the hospi-
tai in the first place. He was found by
DR.. Palmer, who called at the station,
lying in the lodging room, with all the
windows open, and only shirt over
him. He had the man wrapped in a
blanket and slippers put on his feet. He
thinks if the man had been properly
treated in the beginning and not given
up as sure to die he would have had a
good chance for his life.

Political Notes.

The Republican caucus will be held at
Waterville this evening to elect delegates
to the Third District Congressional con-
vention. 1t has been generally believed
that Milliken will carry the caucus, al
though it is said that Burleigh will
make fight, in accordance with his
policy of maxim contest in every city,
town and plantation in the district. A
caucus will also be held in Hallowell.
where the chances are probably more
evenly divided than in Waterville.

ruE REpusLroaN CONVENTION.

Editor REPUBLICAN,: The National
Republican convention, to assemble at
Minneapolis in June, is the grandest
convocation OF civilized people which
meets in the world. We read Of the
meeting OF the clans of Tartary on the
Scythian plains, thousands OF years ago,
to elect q Khan of Khans to overrun
China, Of the Roman citizens assembled
in the Canpagna Of Italy to elect a
kaiser for the empire that dominated the
world at the opening OF the Christian
era, OF the Saxon "Moots" in Wiltshire,
in the ampitheatre yet remaining-to
de eide the fate OF England.
All these places have l seen; but
where on earth can you view an as
sembly authorized to nominate pres.
ident for nearly seventy millions Of
free and enlightened people; except in
the United States OF America?
Nothing is more obnoxious to the
genius OF free people than the inter-
ference OF Office holders in elections. In
England they would be mobbed-in
France they would be shot.
An Office holder neglecting his official
duties, canvassing the country for proxi-
es to elect himself delegate to National
convention, can only be compared to a
dog with his masters collar around his
neck barking at every free and indepen-
dent dog; morever it is directly in vio-
lation OF the civil service rules; If any
body cares for that coolie importation
from the decripit nations of Asia.
The farce OF dummy delegates from
Arizona has been played 90 often that
it should be Missed from the political
stage by respectable audience.
The withdraw OF Blaine leaves but
two available Republican candidates
besides President Harrison in the field
Robert Lincoln, the United States min
lister to England, and Jerry Rusk, the
secretary of agriculture.
With the bounding prosperity of the
country in every branch Of industry and
enterprise it would be just as reasonable
to predict that ship at sea, well COM
manded, under u full head OF steam, in
fair weather, should deliberately 60 to
the bottom as that the Republican NOM
inee should be defeated. Consequently
a nomination is equivalent to an election.
The territories occupy an anomalous
position in a National convention. They
can send delegates to nominate a candi-
date, but cannot vote for him, which In
a close contest gives the tail a chance TO
wag the dog.
What splendid opportunity tie
vote would afford the delegates from the
territories to barter for governorships,
and collectorships!!
Let us hope that the Republican
party in Arizona may obtain better
National reputation than it now enjoys
by selecting respectable citizens as dele
gates without taking federal Office hold
ers away from their official duties.
Respectfully,
CHAs. ID. PosToN.

Lost in an Abandoned Mine.

An old gold mine near Georgetown,
Cal, long since deserted by its owners,
Is still visited by miners who take out
an occasional grub stake.
Henry Fraser, an old Georgetown
miner, went into the mine ten days ago
to work claim about mile under
ground. He lost his candle and matches,
and was unable to find his way among
the hundreds of passages.
For ten days no was without food,
water or light, and suffered untold
agonies. His friends grew anxious at
his long absence and started out in
search Of him. They Immediately re-
paired to the mine and found him more
dead than alive, about mile from the
mouth of the tunnel.
The mine is under an old river chan
mel, and varies from % to 100 feet in
width. This has been all worked out,
leaving an irregular chamber from 10 to
IA feet in height, filed with rocks and
gravel. To reach this channel Fraser
had TO pass through tunnel 100 feet in
length. II was ouly after tiresome
search that his friends found him.--Cor.

The wholesale dealers in ice are again
worried, as they have been off and on
for the past ten years, Their experience
of two years ago has taught them that
if ice does not make in the Hudson by
the lst Of January it is not likely to
make Mt all during the season. The
agents Ct these companies are securing
the entire country TO the far north of
New York and New England and have
contracted for ice privileges on Sara
toga, Lake Chanplain and Lake George,
and have been compelled to pay pretty
stiff prices therefor.
Meanwhile the making of artificial ice
flouriHhes. and at the great hotels and
offices of the railroad companies, which
are beginning to use it, it is giving
greater satisfaction than natural ice,
partly because there is less wastage,
partly because is comes in blocks of as
certaincd weight and partly because it
is made of distilled water. Some of the
natural ice dealers are of the opinion
that it will ultimately supplant natural
ice harvesting. and it is sure to do so if
the climatic change toward mildness of
season is to be regarded as permanent.

At the next assizes in London the trial
of new kind of thieves promises to be
interesting. Their method was to visit
unoccupied houses in the outskirts of
the city in the daytime. They drove up
in an elegant carriage, and when they
found nobody at home the house was
marked. In the night they came in a
wagon, broke into the house and carted
off their booty. When it turned out that
they were mistaken and that parties
were in the house they simply offered to
sell photographs and albums. One of
the members rode a bicycle and took his
notes of the houses that were good for
robbing. Mr.. and Mrs. Clarke were the
leaders of the gang. They lived in one
of the suburbs, were highly respected
by all their neighbors and were exten-
sively invited to tea parties, dinners, etc.

1T is HERE.

The days of waiting, and watching for
Arizona have about closed The times
to which the people have looked for
ward with expec tation have come. The
eyes OF the east are upon us, and
when the sunny valleys and silver-rib-
bed mountains OF Arizona once get the
attention Of the stranger, they hold
them. People are learning that there
Is not an Indian behind every bush, as
some Joke newspaper correspondents
would make believe, and that, though
we have the cactus OF any southern
country, it is not all we have, and the
olive and the vine will grow in the
same soil, ii only the water is turned
on ii. There are no failures in crops on
account OF dry weather. When the
ranchman wants rain, he raises the
gate in his ditch, and conveys the water
to any portion OF his farm that needs

foot OF of the Salt and Gila lands will
