Queen Garcia Offers q Prize.

On of the most interesting prizes
offered at the Red Cross exhibition
now being held at Leipsic is that
given by Queen Garcia of Saxony for
the best scheme for providing meai-
cines, nourishment, and protection
for the wounded during and imme-
diately after battle. Every exhibit
in the Leipsic exhibition. has to
undergo the test of actual use before
receiving a prize. Queen Garcia has
always taken a great interest in the
Red Cross knights, and it was the
late Minister of War for Saxony who
first suggested that this exhibition
should be held.

COLLEGE Girls Who PLAY Baseball.

Smith College girls are enthusiastic
and not unskil!ful baseball players.
There was a spirited game on the
campus the other day between the
sophs and freshmen, terminating In
a decided victory for the latter. 1t
might seem to he professional player
that girl with long braid of hair
hanging down her back and eyeglasses
on her classic nose would not be a
success at pitching. but her curves
were pronounced and the sophs bat
ted good deal Of air. The sophO-
morcs do not indulge in either masks
or gloves, and play with great spirit
and nerve. Of course the innings are
married by mishaps to gowns, and in
the waits for repairs there is a most
amicabre interchange of pins and hair
pins between the opponents.

Soapsuds.

Few persons know how very useful
soapsuds prove when employed as
manure. Applied to the roots Of
vines, fruit trees, roses, etc, they
impart a vigor and rapidity Of
growth which is perfectly surprising.
No one who is so lucky as to have a
garden should waste this valuable
form of manure. 1t is an excellent
plan to have large tub, and put the
soapsuds and dirty water into it till
required upon the garden.

The BErnyarH.

1t is more economical In open
barnyards to allow cattle to trample
the coarse materials, the manure be-
ing composted in a heap under shell
ter until the materials in the barn
yard are broken fine by the feet of
the animals, when they may be
added to the heap, the whole to lie
composted and enough fresh manure
added to create heat in the heap.
When the rains are permitted to
wash out the soluble matter there
will not be enough available plant
food remaining to pay for the haul
ing and spreading Of the made" ma
nure on the land in the spring.

A Worthy Case.

To the Editor Of the Press:
May call attention through your col
umns to the sad case of respectable
man living in Portland, MI. John Fitz-
patrick, who is incapacitated for active
work by angular curvature of the spine.
The disease developed seven years ago,
when he was employed in lifting heavy
weights, in smelling works in Boston.
At first it was supposed that he was suf-
fsring from rheumatism or lumbago, and
3 II sharp illness he returned to his
*, continuing at it until few months
.yer severe pain and weakness obliged
him to stop. Since that time he has
been unable to support himself in any
way, except by Gaming chairs, a work
which he can do through the support
given him by steel-ribbed leather jack
ct. Mr., Fitzpatrick advertised for work
this winter, but met with little success,
probably owing to the fact that his
house, No. ~ Beach street, is at an in
convenient distance from the centre of
the town for people to find him,
Should anyone desire to employ him
ew, it will be easy to do so, as Mr.. S. B.
arbird, who has charge of the base
emit department at Owen & Moore's,
ill be glad to receive orders for him.
The charge for Gaming a chair is 80 cents
Chairs will be sent for and returned to
,ay address in Portland.
Sincerely yours,
NJ. S. DAvEIs.

THE CAPTAIN of the storer in Town.

Captain W. P. Richardson, commander
of the brig Annie r. Storer, arrived in
Portland yesterday from New York, and
left again for his home on Cranberry
Isles. The rescue of Captain Richard
son, his wife and crew by the Norwegian
vessel was most timely. The crew had
been at the pumps two days, but in spite
of all they could do there was five feet
of water in the vessel. The Norwegian
was sighted about noon, and seeing the
Storer's flag flying union down bore
down and stood by for the crew. The
Storer's men triedI to launch their boat,
but a tremendous sea hurled it away
from them and smashed it. Then the
Norwegian sent his boats. The captain
and the rest lost all their effects, al
though the ships papers were saved.
Mrs. Richardson thinks that this expert
ence at sea will do for her, and that she
will not try another voyage.

Guided her first engagement at Portland
theatre with ''Renah, the Gypsey' s
Daughter at the afternoon matinee and
'The Ballet Dancer" in the evening. The
BALLET Dancer plot is an interesting
one, and is full of exciting climaxes and
startling episodes, relieved by happy re-
suits. Every act contains some amusing
diversion, including dancing and spark
ling music, both vocal and instrumental,
1t is most admirably staged. The COS
TUNES are beautiful and rich. The cast
was good. The Mirror Quartette and
Mr.. Jno. E. Brennan, the musical artist,
gave spccialties of novel and pleasing
character. The costumes displayed by
Miss Akerstrom were very handsome,

NoROMBEGl HALL, BANGOR,
Wednesday, April y, 1892,
At III O'Clock, A. W.,

for the purpose of selecting two candidates for
electors of President and Vice President of the
United States and four delegates at large and
four alternates to attend the National Conven-
ton to be held at Minneapolis, Minnesota, on
Tuesday, June 7, 1892, and transacting any
other business that may properly come before
it.
The basis of representation will be as fol-
lows: Each City, Town and Plantation will be
entitled to one delegate, and for each seventy
five votes cast for the Republican candidate for
Governor in 1888, an additional delegate, and
for fraction of forty votes in excess of seven
ty-fiye votes, an additional delegate.
Vacancies in the delegation of any City,
Town, or Plantation can only be filled by resi-
dents of the County in which the vacancy ex-
lists.
The State Committee will be in session in the
reception room of the Hall at nine o'clock on
the morning of the Convention, for the purpose
of receiving the credentials of delegates. Dele
cates. in order to be eligible to participate in
the Convention, must be elected subsequent to
the date of the call for this Convention; and
delegates under this call should not be elected
to the State Convention to be hereafter called
for the purpose of nominating a candidate for
Governor.
All electors of Maine, without regard to past
political differences, who are in sympathy with
the sentiments expressed in the call of the Re-
publican National Committee for the Republi-
can National Convention, are cordially invited
to unite with the Republicans of the State in
electing delegates to this Convention

Piano and Organ Recital.
The piano and organ recital given
under the auspices of the ladies OF the
Second Advent Society drew large
audience to Kotzschmar hall last even
ing. The numbers arranged for the two
instruments were played by Mr.. Harvey
Murray pianist, and Mr. Rankin organist,
with excellent effect. The vocation, pre-
sented to the Society, is an organ OF fine
tone and admirably reproduces the
various musical instruments. Mr.. Rank
in displayed it's qualities with fine
effect in the duets with the piano, and
Mr.. Murray handled that instrument so
well that the tones of both combined
with perfect harmoy. Hollander's Con
zonetta'' was a charming little thing
most exquisitely rendered. Mr.. Rankin
in the organ solos Romance" and cave
Maria" showed great tenderness and
| feeling.
The Haydn Quartette sang charningly
and Mr.. H.gF. Merrill rendered his bass
solo so well he was encored, but declined

Mr.. George C. Staley made many
friends during his last engagement here,
who will be glad to welcome him on
Friday and Saturday back to Portland.
The play has been greatly strengthened
since last season, and is drawing large
audiences. Mr.. Staley has an excellent
company and fine stage effects are prom
ised.
Paderewski.
A few good seats still remain at Stock
BRIDGES for Paderewski's concerts to be-
gin Feb. Doth and March 1st. A we'll
known Boston critic says:
Paderewski's touch is wholly beauti-
full. His singing tone is unsurpassed;
his scale-playing is exquisitely clear and
pearly in quality; his pianissimo is Won
derful; his fortissimo is full and reso-
nant; and sis bravura is glittering and
dazzling, but wlthal is never unmusical.
Without doubt he has his limitations.
When we heard him at recital in New
York the other day, we thought we dis
covered weakness that seemed inherent.
Whether this may eventually prove to be
the case OF not, there were no such indi-
cations in his performance of his own
concerto, OF the Chopin impromptu in +
sharp, the waltz in sharp minor, and
the twelfth raphsodie of List.

THE ELECTION OF SENATORS.

The house committee on the election
of President and vice president and rep
resentatives in congress have agreed to
report bill leaving the election of SEN
ators to the people and CONF rring ex-
elusive power on the state legislatures to
fix the time, place and manner of hold
ing such elections. This is in substance
the same Bill introduced by Senator
Palmer IN the senate. There is a con-
siderable popular demand for such a
change in the election of senators, but it
presents the objection at the outset that
the change would make possible-and in
many instances, no doubt, probable-the
election of a minority candidate; in cases
where there were three or more parties
or candidates before the people seeking
the position. This could be provided
against, though, by the act of the legisla-
ture that would be required to carry the
change into operation, by providing That
in the event no candidate received a ma
jority of all the votes cast at the polls,
the legislature should choose from among
the candidates voted for. As simple and
effective method as any would be to
make the senatorial question an issue in
the legislative contest, in the election of
senators and representatives. Still, 1t is
not quite clear that any change would
be an improvement upon the present
mode when honestly and fairly adhered

The Governorship.

From the Mead County Globe.
Colonel VI. NJ Murdoch seems to keep his
hand firmly upon the public pulse. Colonel
Murdoch has been many years in Kansas. and
has labored ceaselessly for the welfare of the
state, advocating measures and supporting
men which and who he believed would best
subServe the interests of this great state and
the whole country. Always a Republican, he
has at times exercised the prerogative of
American citizenship in dissenting from some
measures proposed or adopted by the political
party of his choice. Without this liberty OF
the citizen, this freedom Of opinion and of
speech, American citizenship would lose its
charm, the republic its standing among the
nations, and its influence in the affairs of the
world. Yet, while Marsh Murdoch has recog-
ntZed these truths by word and act. he has re-
manned faithful to that grand political organ
ization upon whose arms is emblaZoned the
symbols of civic and religious liberty, and
whose battles have ever been waged III behalf
of the moral and political welfare of the state.
II makes no difference with US whether Col
onel Murdoch is for or against prohibition-an
we wish to know is that he is honorable,
worthy Of bearing with becoming modesty
public honors, capable of filling the highest
office in the gift of the people, and managing
with a master hand their affairs committed by
the constitution and laws to his charge. BelieY-
ing that the editor of the Wichita EAGLE fills
the bill, we hope to see him nominated and
elected
