of Union, has just signed contract with
James Mitchell for the construction of road
from the Knox & Lincoln depot at Warren
to Union, distance of eight miles. The
contract calls for the completion i'll ninety
days of the road to the kilns Of the Warren
and the balance by September 1, 1893. The
Georges Valley Railroad Company was
formed three years ago and chartered by the
Legislature, the officers and directors being
citizens of Union, which town voted $2,450
and the local private subscriptions swelled
the amount to forty thousand. The COM
plete road will cost one hundred thousand.
Union is thriving business point and the
road will be a valuable feeder to the Knox
and Lincoln division Of the Maine Central.

A Great Game Poacher.

A rich man from New York named Zeigler
has the reputation of being the greatest
legged that he openly boasts he will kill moose,
caribou and deer at any and all times, law
or no law. He has been in Maine three
months with large party killing deer. The
game wardens have been after him, but he
has thus far escaped them. Evidence of
great slaughter of game has been found and
it is believed he will be brought to account.
Mr.. Hazeltine, of Belfast, once brought
the gentleman up for killing moose out of
season, which cost him 500.
All citizens of Maine should be united in
the preservation of our game, and the legisla-
ture ought to make a liberal appropra ton
for the use of the game wardens.

The Ethics of story Telling.

It seems to us that in good fiction evil
must appear as foil for good; that it
must be set over against righteousness
so as to make black black indeed and
white purely white. The story teller
need have no express moral hobby to
ride post haste; his tale will be all the
better if told with the pure love of story
telling; but we may be quite sure that
his taste is unsound if he chooses a
salacious story to tell and gives it the
unctiop of personal rehearsal. Here, in
deed, is where we would draw the line.
Evil can be used by the artist with clean
hands and to wholesome effect by con-
trasting it with healthy, solid protec-
ton of good.
The chief trouble with current realism
is that it does not do this, but chooses to
set hopeless evil and nerveless common
place side by side without any trium-
plant moral heroisrn to dominate or neu-
tralize it. The ethics of fiction shine in
the character, the moral nature of the
story, more than in the ostensible or
even the actual moral purpose Of the
author. 1t is the general effect that the
work is likely to produce when read by
the aggregate of readers, which must be
a large element of the test.-Chautau-
uuan.

A Great country for pueIs.

How prevalent dueling was at one
time in Ireland may be gathered from
the fact that men of the highest dignity
and most responsible position were ready
to eat fire and taste steel. The lord
chancellor, Lord Clare. fought the mas
ter of the rolls, Curran. The chief JUS
tice, Lord Clonmel, fought Lord Tyraw-
ley and two others. The chancellor of
the exchcquer, Isaac Cory, fought
Henry Grattan. The provost of Trinity
college, Mr.. Henry Hutchinson, fought
the master in chancery, Mr.. Doyle
O'Connell fought and killed Mr.. d'Es-
terre, the champion of the Dublin cor
poration, and, as Darlington says, the
duel was fatal to the champion of Prot
estart ascendancy." These are not the
only eminent freshmen who fought
duels, for Sir Jonah Darlington states
that during his grand climacteric. 227
memorable duels had been fought He
tells us of one man who had fought no
less than sixteen duels. and Mr.. S. Q.
Hall describes field near Castlebar,
where it was stated that sixty fatal
duels had taken place-the last being
that of an uncle who had shot his
nephew or nephew who had shot his
uncle. Leeds Mercury.

Monmouth and Sidney.

The centennial of two of these towns
occurred in January as the PRESS noted
Quiet Kennebec farming towns these.
Sidney has absolutely no manufactures
unless the country shoemaker and car
riage smith are to have their productions
so reckoned. 1t has no large village
though there are five post Offices, half
dozen stores, and organization of Masons,
Changers, Grand Army veterans and
Good Templars. No railroad touches 1t
though it lies between the two lines of
the Maine Central which come together
a few miles above it. 1t was first settled
by Cape Cod people in 1760, and takes it's
name from the illustrious Sir Phillip
Sidney. Owing probably to it's some
what retired situation it reported to
Commissioner Matthews in 1890 more
abandoned farms than any town in the
county with one exception.
Monmouth is somewhat larger and
considerably richer and livelier, and it
has more historic names associated with
it. 1t was settled in 1875. Allen, Gray,
Ham. Jenkins and Thompson were
among the names of the early settlers.
But the most conspicuous among them
was Gen. Henry Dearborn of the Reyolu-
tionary army who went there at the close
of the war. At one time he owned
5,225 acres of land in the township. On
this he built houses and mills and lived
there for some years. After removing to
Boston he continued to spend q part of
the year in Monmouth. 1t was at his
suggestion that the town was named in
honor of the memorable battle in which
he played such an important part.
Another citizen in the early days was
John Chandler, who resigned the presi-
dency of the state senate to become one
of our first senators in Congress holding
seat there nine years. He entered the
town as tramp blacksmith and became
its foremost citizen. He was representa-

of its incorporation recalls the fact that
several other Maine towns can this year
celebrate the centennial of their organl-
cation. The General court OF Massachu-
sets in the year 1892 Incorporated six
towns in the District of Maine. There
was quite speculative spirit at the time
and settlers were passing into the wide
and largely primeyal forests of Maine at
a rapid rate. In eighteen months in 1888
and 1889. about the time when the new
republic came into existence 20 towns
were chartered, in 1901 there were three

Fine old towns these are. All farming
towns but one, the largest, and all nurse
ries from which have gone forth men
who have made their mark in the world.
All voted Republican at the last state
election, and in four of them there are
academies while the other two adjoin
towns provided with schools of even a
higher grade.
There is a curious table in that old
book which one sees SO rarely now,
Greenleaf's Survey, which shows that
the members of this class of 1892 were
pretty poor 60 years ago when it was
published. In this the value of the taxa
BILE property of the citizens of each town
was compared with that of the average
citizen of the state at large and all these
towns but one fell below the average.
With 100 as basis for the whole state
it seems that in 1880 the wealth of the
citizen of Li1mingtonwas but as sc and ii
was the poorest town in York county.
. On the same scale of 100 Monmouth and
Mt. Vernon stood at 81, Hebron at 81,
Sidney at IS and Bucksport at 1O1.
Portland's rank, the highest in the state
: was PSI and the next town in the average
wealth of its inhabitants was Caatine at
270.

how often the names of these old towns
we're changed. At one time Mt Vernon
was called Washington. Bucksport for
more than half a century was known as

1t will be seen these towns lost exactly
10 per cent. of their population in ten
years. GIG on a total of 9165. Three of
them gained a trifle in valuation but the
whole group lost almost exactly six per
cent. of their valuation between 1880 and
1890. But with the single exception of
the town of Monmouth which suffered
from confagration in its bisiness centre
the average wealth to each inhabitant
shows gain as, for example in the town
ship of Limington. The reduction in
population is so much larger proportion
ate than the loss in valuation that the
average wealth per individual shows an
increase from 1926 per capita to $337, a
