THE REGISTRATION.
Some Provisions of the Law Recalled for
the Benefit of Voters.

The law passed by the last legislature
creating a board of registration for the
several cities in the state provides that
said boards "shall have exclusive power
and authority to determine the qualitica-
ton of voters therein and exclusive pow
er to make up, correct and revise the
list of voters in each of said cities,n and
after the first list of voters in each of
said cities shall have been prepared and
and made up by said boards they ''shall
in cities of not less than 10000 inhabi-
tants, be in open session from to y
o'clock in the forenoon, and from 2 to 5
o'clock in the afternoon, and from to 9
o'clock in the evening, upon each of the
six secular days next prior to any cleo
ton in said cities, excepting on the last
day of said sessions, when they shall not
be in session after o'clock in the after
noon, to receive evidence touching the
qualification of voters therein, and to re-
wise and correct the voting lists in said
cities. Said boards shall not place upon
such lists during said revision of the
same the name of any person who shall
not personally appear before said board
and request the same. During said time
said boards shall revise and correct the
voting lists in said cities, and the war
dens of said cities shall be governed by
said revised and corrected lists; and no
name shall beaded to or stricken from
said lists on the day of election, and no
person shall vote at any election whose
name is not on said list.
''Any person who shall cause his name
to be placed upon the list of voters of
more than one ward in any such city for
the same election, or shall cause his
name to be placed upon such list of vot-
ers in any ward, knowing he is not a
qualified elector for the election for
which the said list is made, or who shall
falsely personate any legal voter, or any
person causing any such act, or aiding
or abetting any person in any manner in
either of said acts, shall be deemed
guilty of an offense and punished by i'm
pflsonment tor not less than SIX months
nor more thanyo one year.
Under the previous or old registration
laws no person was permitted to vote
whose name was not borne upon the check
list governing the wardens, nor until the
voters name was found thereon and
checked. This provision is still in force
as are all others relating to registration
and voting not inconsistent with the reg
istradon law of last year now in force,
subjecting presiding officers at elections,
and other town and city officers for
evasion Or performance of prescribed
duties relating to registration and voting
to penalties varying from fines of $40 to
$500 and imprisonment from three
months to nine months at the discretion
of the court.

The Horses knew the Tuno.

A relation of mine, who has spent
many years in India, remembers well
how, when living in Lucknow and en-
joying the evening drive with other
English residents in the Indian city. the
carriage horses would toss their heads
and paw the ground imlsatiently when
the first notes of God Save the Queen
were played by the military band every
evening. 1t was tho last tune played,
the signal for dispersion.
A skeptic-or, perhaps. more than one
having insisted that the horses only
knew the tune because it was always
played last, and they were able TO calcu-
late time. the exI riment was tried of
playing God Save the Queen" in the
middle. instead of at the end of the
evening. Instantly there was the same
excitement in the horses standing round
''the course" The same impatient toss
ing of the head and prancing of the feet,
the same general stampede and eager
ness to start homeward.
No one could any longer doubt that
they knew and recognized the air; in
fact, that they could tell one tune from
another. London Spectator

An auction sale was broken up rudely
Saturday. The assignee of FL. "A. Dow
had three horses, assets Of BOWS estate,
which he was going to sell at auction for
the benefit Of the creditors. But the So
ciety for the Protection of Animals
heard of the beasts and sent DR.. George
II. Bailey down to see them. On his re-
commentator the horses were killed
and taken to the bone yard. They were
sorry beasts.

Yesterday telephone message was re-
ceived at the police station from the
chief of police in Lewiston, stating that
man had caused suspicion there Satur-
day by selling horse and carriage for
$45. The Lewiston city marshal ques-
toned the man, who gave the name OF
Clark, and said he had been on a trading
expedition through a part of Maine with
the team, which he had bought in Fall
River, Mass, and having no further use
for, was willing to sell at sacrifice.
The Lewiston authorities were inclined
to the belief that the man was telling the
truth and he was not arrested. As he
left Lewiston on the Bangor train for
Portland yesterday forenoon, however,
the Portland police were given the facts
in the case so that they might be pre-
pared for any developments which might
arise. These were not long in coming
and soon after the first telephone mes
sage a second was received here, stating
that a Norway man had lost a team and
the team sold in Lewiston had been iden-
tilted as that missing from Norway
The Identification was established by the
name of the owner found upon the robe.
These facts were reported to Deputy
Marshal Sterling when he went on duty
yesterday afternoon by Deputy Marshal
Merrill. The only man on the Bangor
train who answered the description of
the man wanted in Lewiston was Lewis
E. Smith of this city. He was found and
taken into custody by Mr.. Sterling some
time after his arrival here. Upon being
arrested, Smith denied that the team
was stolen. He admitted selling the
team and said, as he did in Lewiston
that he bought it in Fall River. He was
taken to the police station and locked
up and message sent to Lewiston, noti-
flying the authorities there of his arrest
Up to something over year ago
Mr.. Smith was in the employ
of the Union Mutual Life
INSURANCE. Company. He left
that position and about year ago
joined the Ozark Secret company as
one of a vocal quartette. Last summer
he was connected for time with Green
wood Garden and later acted as agent for
the Wild West show which exhibited at
Long Island. In the fall he joined the
Jed Prouty company and later was said
to be keeping books in Boston.

No physicians in this country for the
past decade have enjoyed such q large
practice and national reputation as the
Drs. Flower. These two brothers have
an intuitive gift for reading disease, COM
bined with a scientific knowledge OF
medicine, enabling them to cure where
others fail. DIR. A. H. Flower, Physician
in-chief for the r. G. Flower Medical Co.,
of late years has made many cures that
still remain a wonder to the medical pro-
fession, and below we give few testimo-
malls from prominent parties:
TURNED OUT OF TWO HOSPITALS.
Il had a large fibroid tulnor of the alb

physicians, but grew worse. | then re-
sorted to the hospitals, where / received
but little OF no benefit, and was finally
turned out as totally incurable. AS a
last chance went to DR.. A. III. Flower,
who diagnosed my case without asking
question. He said it was a desperate
case, but he believed that in ten months
he could remove the tumor without the
use of the knife. took treatment, and
in ten months the trmor was gone. 1t

MY daughter was suffering from par
alysis of the right arm and side. | took
her to Dr. A. Fl. Flower three years ago,

Flower as the most wonderful physician

The Fifth Popular.

The Dudley Buck Quartette, which
will give the Fifth Popular at City Hall
next Wednesday evening, is composed OF
four of the finest male singers in New
York. At this entertainment a leading
attraction will be Fred Emerson Brooks,
the poet-humorist of California. Of him
it isesaid: Sat times he is as tender as
Cowper, as patriotic as Whittier, as MAJ
jestic as Bryant, as funny as Mark
Twain. Seldom has nature put into the
same heart and brain the extremes of
wit and wisdom, sense and nonsense,
with the same careful Judgment in ming
ling to bring forth laughter and tears
Mr. Brooks recites only his own poems.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Around the World.

Tonight this most attractive drama
and spectacle will be seen at Portland
Theatre. The Charleston Courier says:
"A Tour of the World in Eighty Days"
is one of the few spectacular attractions
that,fnd their way south that fulfills it's
promises. The imaginary two car loads
of new scenery that are advertised to ac-
company spectacular plays which travel
south generally consist of very ancient
rubbish, which has served a decade in
some fourth-rate theatre in the North or
West, and which has been bought at q
bargain at forced auction sale and
pressed into service for a southern tour.
Mr.. Jennings scenery, however, is an
exception to this rule. 1t is all new,
bright, fresh and attractive. In other
words he fulfills the promises held out
in his bills. In addition to this he has a.
tirst-class company, large ballet corps,
and all the paraphernalia requisite to
fair reproduction of the splendid speeta-
Gle which many Charlestonians have wit
messed on the stage of the Academy of
Music or Niblo's Garden in New York.
Bunch of Keys.
At Portland Theatre tomorrow and
Wednesday evenings Hoyt's "a Bunch
of Keys will be presented. Nearly ev-
cry one is familiar with the very funny
hotel scene with the two upstairs rooms,
and the queer serapes which Snaggs, the
legal gentleman who thinks he can run a
hotel, gets into. The songs, dances,
music and medleys, which form no small
amount of the entertainment, are all en-
tirely new. It is stated that the COM
pany is the strongest that ever presented
this rafting satire and includes Ada
Bothner, Lee Harrison, W. G. Crosbie,
Annie Whitney, Juliette Marco, Byron
G. Harlan, w. Fl. Murphy and William
Smith.

Change Of Warden.

of warden of the penitentiary; the
change to take place about the 18th
of March. Then the prison board Is
sorry for its sins. 1t is about to show
fruits, signs of repentance. Well, a
half loaf beats no bread when one is
hungry. Two men are in the lead for
the appointment: Jenne of Washing
ton county and Mcconnell, brother of
the senator, of Moscow. Jenne will
probably take the plum. Washington
county, like Bingham, has gotten but
few crumbs from the kings taole. 1t
will be political stroke of good
policy to cast small one to Wash
ington. We think the governor will
lean his plate TO Washington.
