If the City Council deems it for the
interest of the city to dispose of the Mar
ket lot, the best way would seem to be to
fix fair price for it and put it in the
market. That is the way private indi-
vidual would proceed with property he
wanted to dispose of. The objection to
selling the lot without competition, to a
syndicate for low figure, is just this,
namely, that it will enable the syndicate
to offer more favorable terms to tenants
of any building which may be constructed
upan it than can be offered by
other holders of real estate of
like value. If it were pro-
posed to relieve from taxation any
building that might be erected upon it,
provided it was occupied for manufac-
turing, everybody would see that an in
Justice was being done to every citizen
who owned building which was occu-
pied by manufacturing establishment.
But by selling this property at figure
way down below its value the same thing
is accomplished indirectly. Perhaps if a
guarantee could be had that the pro-
posed building should not be let for any
manufacturing business which exists in
the city that difficulty would be avoided.
The true policy for the city government,
if it has property it wants to sell, is to
sell it when in open market it can get a
fair price for it. But to give it away or
sell it at a ridiculously low figure with a
view of promoting manufactures is
wrong in principle and hurtful in poll
cy. The less the city as a corporation
interferes directly or Indirectly with the
business of the citizen the better 1t is
practically impossible to do it without
doing injustice by giving some people
advantages over other people. If the
city furnishes land free, OF for a small
sum for manufacturing purposes, it in
directly enters the field as competitor
in the manufacturing business. This it
ought not to do.

The Kennebec Journal has this: A
good story is told of an enterprising adj
vertiser of Bath. He desired to sell a
prominent physician of that place dog

s'Well,'' said the agent, 'sTll tell you

was made happy father. and his Oldest

he was over Woo out on the transaction.
Moses Jellison and his daughter Sarah
were both found dead in their beds in
Monroe, Saturday, where they had lain
several days. They had been sick with
la grippe for some time, with no attend
ance. They had become too weak to
call for assistance, and had lain for sew
eral days previous to their death without
fire or any nourishment whatever. A
ten years old grand daughter of Mr..
,Jellison was in the house all the time,
but she was wild with fear and afraid Of
strangers, so that she could not be in
duced to hail passers by either of her
sick relatives.

When our esteemed contemporary, the
Argus, presents to us any trustworthy
statistics showing that high license has
decreased drinking and drunkenness we
will consider them. 1t has not presented
any yet. All that it has done is to assert
on the authority of nameless newspapers
that such has been it's effect somewhere
All that we can do in regard to those as
sertions is to deny them and call for
proof. Now let us see your proof.

A Bonanza Of the Mechanical
World.
THE LONE STAR
Cotton Picking Machine.

The machine a working model of which is at
the Parker House, is attached to the axle OF two
wheels like those of a moving machine, which
when in motion, operates its various parts to
produce desired results The wheels are four
feet apart to enable it to cover row OF cotton
plants, and two mules or horses, walking in the
burrows, drag it along. On the axle is drum or
cylinder which travels around with it, Around
this drum are ranged at intervals 16 small cylln-
ders. Into segment of the surface OF these
latter, at stated points there are fixed nine
wooden pins or fingers, about a foot in length,
making LA fingers in the machine. These are
screwed into a socket in the cylinder con-
nected with the beveled gearing on the inside,
which, when the machine is in motion, rotates
them rapidly. It is to these revolving fingers
that the collection of the lint is entrusted. To
enable them to accomplish this work. they are
prepared with 2 longitudinal grooves crossing
each other at right angles, into which are glued
strips of hair cloth, the hair of which projects
about the goth of an inch outside the surface,
just enough to catch the lint from the boil and
twist it off These fingers rotating laterally
gather the lint and when they are lifted up
loaded, so to speak, on reaching the upper side
of the drum, the lint is quickly removed from
them by brushes, which throw it into receptacles
prepared to receive it. The cylinders and fin
gers are operated by gearing, and the dip of the
fingers into the plants. by an ingenious cam
movement is made vertical and their withdrawal
in the same manner by forward movement of
the cylinder before engaging with the plants.
and by retarding movement before withdraw
al. At first glance the machine appears to be
somewhat complicated. but on more intimate
acquaintanceit is notso tits claimed that it
will pick from ~ to 8 bales of cotton per day,
according to the productiveness of the field, and
would seem to be in the line of vast economy
and improvement in cotton production
The Lone Star Cotton Picking Machine Com
pany has been organized to put these machines
upon the market and now offer a limited
amount of stock to raise money for that purpose
That stock in the company must become very
valuable goes without saying. 1t owns all the
patents under which this machine can be manu-
featured. The cotton crop is an increasing one
and that increase will be enormous as soon as
machines drawn by mules supersede the human
hand picking the crop, Thanks to Angus Camp
bell, that time is now upon lis. 1t now costs
PA cents pound to pick cotton as weighed in
the bale. This machine will do it for one-half
cent.

The raking of the Tenor.

Inc 1aklnS Oh tno XeuOrs
And the tenor is married. I knew,
That brilliant night at the play,
That the sweet soprano with eyes Of blue
Was singing his heart away
Singing his heart away.
Leading his lips astray;
The dark of the forest dreamed today
The stage was a meadow, sweet with May;
She was singing his heart away-away,
Singing his heart awayl
She was not singing to you,
She was not singing to me;
He saw himself in her eyes Of blue,
A drowning man in a sea!
A drowning man in a sea
Where drowning is sweet! And She
Oh, she was singing his ship astray;
But the beautiful haven landward lay
The stage was meadow, sweet with May,
And the birds were singing his heart away
Singing his heart away!

''Adieu, brave tenor, adieu!
You sang your part and you sang 1t well,
But Love sang sweeter than you'll"
Love sang sweeter than you

The sweet soprano-she knew, she knew
When she was singing Of love and May
That Love was master and ruled the play,
And Love was singing your heart away
Singing your heart Awayl

Is It so9

Is II 70, o Christ in heaven, that the highest
suffer most,
That the strongest wander farthest and more
hopelessly are lost,
That the mark of rank in nature is capacity
for pain,
That the anguish of the singer makes the
sweetness of the strain?
Is it so, o Christ in heaven, that whichever
way we go
Wall of darkness must surround us, things We
would but cannot know2
Tat the infinite must bound us like temple
veil unrent,
While the finite ever wearies so that none at
tain content?
Is it SO, o Christ in heaven, that the fullness
yet to come
Is SO glorious and so perfect that to know
would strike us dumb2
That if only for moment we would pierce be-
yond the sky,
With these poor dim eyes of mortals we should
just see God and die2

And take this piece Of ribbon, love,
And see IL you can match it."
Oh, happy is the evening hour.

And happy are the morning times
That all too quickly fly
Until stand upon the steps
And kiss my Nell goodby:
And it's
~Don't forget the linen, dear,
And match these buttons, sweetins,
And call around at Madame Y.'s
And get that yard of pleating."
In Lovers land we twain abide
And there will dwell forever;
No doubt or grief shall be allowed
Our welded souls to sever.
So faithfully her name breathe
In every ardent sigh
I'm glad to be the errand boy
Who kisses her goodby:

And get three sheets of batting,
And bring four spools of fifty thread
Like that use for tatting."

She comes into the restaurant,
She sits down in chair;
She tosses up her bangs and then
She reads the bill of fare.
She reads it up, she reads it down,
She reads it crosswise. too;
She reads it near, she reads it far,
She reads it through and through.
She takes it up, she puts it down,
She looks around in doubt;
She huns, she drums, she sighs, she starts,
Her lips begin to pout.
The waiter stands with sphinxlike stare
For hours, it seems to me;
And then she says she thinks she'll have
