THERE is an anecdotc which for

of the latest French Republic. in an
historic light. Having to fight q
French duel on rainy morning. that
afterwards distinguished man took his
place upon the field of honor holding
an enormous umbrella His antagon-
ist naturally objected to fighting an
animated toadstool but nothing could
be done. Said the stubborn man: Il
don't mind being shot; that is what 1
came for But taking cold is another
matter" And he fought his French
duel in problemaLical peril but indub-
itably dry. II French duels then were
what NJ. Scholl ssGs they arp now

ist his own peril was actually as one
in 154. In comparison with that the

The Police System.

The committee on electrical appliances has
voted to adopt the Gamewell system, now in
use, if the improvements can be secured at a
fair rental. The new system is police alarm
box, similar to and about the same size as a let
ter box, and can be placed on lamp posts and
sides of buildings. When the patrolman pulls
in from any signal box, it registers automatical-
ly at the station house his time of pulling, num-
Der of box, etc. By the present system he has
to give it through the telephone from the box,
the officer ON duty at the station noting it down
for future reference By simple process, the
patrol wagon, ambulance, special officers, etc.,
can be summoned to the box at once without
the use of the telephone. Reputable citizens
can obtain keys of the boxes from the Marshal,
and when occasion demands, by simply insert
ing the key at the base of the box from the out
side and giving slight turn, an alarm sounds at
the station for the patrol. The keys are all
numbered, and when one is given out the num-
Der of the key, name and address of the citizen
are taken, as guarantee that it will not be mis-
used, and it can easily be ascertained who pulls
the box, as the key can not be taken out until a
release key is brought by an officer.

With INTENT TO MURDER.
Smith Brown, Who Is Not Insane,
Pleads Guilty to Assault.
JURORS LEARN ABOUT PORGIES
AS WELL AS LOBSTERS.

Yesterday in the Superior Court-smith
Brown, Who Assaulted Deputy Sheriffs
Sane and Pleads Guilty-Charies F.
SWEET Found Guilty of Possessing
Short Lobsters-Captain Thompson
Tried for Illegal SEEMING.
twill be remembered that last fall Smith
Brown OF Cape Elizabeth was arrested for an
assault with revolver upon Deputy Sheriffs
Chenery and Plummer. They had a warrant
against him for an assault upon one Mrs. Bill.
After chasing him some distance he pulled
revolver and opened fire, and once when
Chenery was about to take hold of him he snap
ped 1t within six feet of Chenery's head but
fortunately it struck an exploded cartridge.
Brown was indicted at the January term and
his counsel put in a suggestion of insanity. He
was thereupon ordered by the court to the In
sane Asylum at Augusta for examination. AT
this term of the Superior Court report was re-
celved from DR.. Sanborn that he was not insane.
He was brought into court yesterday and ar
raigned upon three separate indictments for an
assault with intent to murder to each of which
he pleaded guilty. County Attorney Robinson
said he should move for sentence upon
only one of the indictments. Mr.. Frank
Counsel foriBrown then called witnesses, in
Guiding two physicians, who testified that while
Brown might not be insane, he was of weak
mind. His neighbors testified that he was easily
excited; that at times he had ''spells," in which
he would if they were the result OF being leased,
exhibit violent manner and apparently not
know or realize what he was doing His father
and mother testified that he was about thirty
years old and that he had always been of
peaceable disposition, but at times a little off.
Judge Bonney will impose sentence later in the
term.
The next case was that of Clark Weybrant OF
Brunswick, whom the officers found in the back
room of the French drug store in that town. I'M
der circumstances that the grand jury thought
warranted presentment for keeping liquor
nuisance. Weybrant claimed that he had no
connection with the place and that he was only
there at the time after a drink of water The jury
believed him and returned a verdict of not
guilty. He was defended by George M. Seiders.
The case of Capt. f. C. Thompson, of the porgy
steamer Mary P. Bates, was next called before
the second jury, charged with taking porgies
unlawfully with seine, or with an unlawful
seine, that is, a seine of more than a hundred
meshes in depth, at point in Casco Bay be-
tween Flag Island and Wood Island, the dis
lance between which is less than three nautical
miles. The testimony for the state is not CLOSED
and the defence has notyet been disclosed.
County Attorney Robinson appears for the
state and Benjamin Thompson for the defendant.

TIE EMPEROR OF ETHlPolT.

An Enliehtened Prince who Can Work
 and who Prays Two Hours Daily.
 Count Pietro Antonelli, member of the Italian parliament, who has spent several years in Ethiopia and has been sent many times as Italian ambassador to Emperor MeneHlS, has given an in- teresting account of that monarch in a recent issue of the Riforma of Rome, says the New York Tribune.
 Menelilz, says the count, who was married to the Princess Taitu in 1888, is now forty-eight years old. He is man of medium height and powerful body, with darl1-brown skin and coarse al- though not irregular features. He is not naturally cruel and the signing of death-warrants often makes him sor- rowful and reflective. He understands his people and is able to gain their love and rule them wisely.
 Although he now bears the title of emperor of Ethipoit, commands an army of one hundred and thirty thou sand men with sixty thousand guns and displays at times oriental splendor, he is not ashamed to subject himself to physical labor. He saws wood, makes house models and superintends the con- struction of buildings. A short time ago a terrible disease carried away many of the oxen, and Menelik and his courtiers used rakes and spades in order to prepare the fields for the reception of the seed.
 He worked also three months as a stone-mason on a church which he or dered built not long ago. He under stands the main facts about railroads and steamships and the principles of telegraphy. He would gladly acquaint his people with the technical advances in science and the arts, but his advisers will not consent to it.
 Since the early sos, adds the count, Menelil1 has kept up his connection with Europe. In mercantile affairs he is the equal of experienced tradesmen. In diplomatic matters he well under stands the art of prolonginG the discus sion until he has reached a decision. One who has to carry on business with him must be observant and attentive. The emperor takes great interest in European newspapers. He Is fond of talking with Europeans, also, in order to increase his knowledge of Europe. He always receives Europeans in a friendly and flattering manner.
 As a rule the emperor breaks his nights rest at three o'clock i'll the morning. He prays then for two hours. From five o'clock till seven he dictates letters to his secretaries. At seven o'clock he receives his ministers and visitors of importance and listens to their reports of the state of the empire. He gives his orders for the day after the reports and makes his appoint ments. During the day he also finds tune to regulate watches, draw architi- tectural plans, give medicine to the sick and take care of his army.
