A DANGEROUS Tigress.

A well known student Of the habits Of
wild animals writing OF the stealthy
and dangerous character Of the man
eating tiger, mentions case that hap
pened q few years ago in tho Nagpur
district in India. a tigres had killed
80 many people that large reward was
offered for her destruction. She had
recently dragged away a native, but
being disturbed had left the body with
ont doyouring it.
The shikaris believed that she would
return to her prey during the night, If it
was left undisturbed upon the spot
where she had forsaken it. There were
no trees, nor any timber suitable for the
construction of "A mucharn. II was ac-
cordingly resolved that four deep holes
should be dug, forming the corners Of a
square. the body lying in the center.
-Four watchers each with his match
lock- took their positions in these holes.
Nothing came, and At length the moon
went down and the night was dark The
men were afraid 10 go home through
the jun 3lcs, and so remained where they
were. Some OF them fell asleep.
when daylight broke three Of the
ahikaris issued from their positions, but
tho fourth had disappeared; his hole was
empty 4 few yards distant his match
lock was discovered lying upon the
ground, and upon the dusty surface were
the tracks Of Il tiger and the sweeping
trace where somo large body had boon
dragged along
Upon following up the track the re-
mains Of the unlucky shikari were dis
covered, but tho tigress had disappeared.
The cunning brute was not killed until
twelve months aftcrward, although
many persons devoted themselves TO the
work

CUMBERLAND.

There never was time yet when ii was
SO absolutely necessary to Democratic fu-
ture success, except the last State cleo
tion, as the coming election OF town OFF,
GERS. The men who knitted the McGirr
people some time ago were not killing
McGirr. 1t was principle OF the party
which they assailed. We DO not defend
or praise McGirr. But we say that Nc
Cir, for whom no one cared, but who
was liked better than others who were
less cared about, once received the rogu-
lar Democratic nomination in Cumbor-
land and was deliberately defeated.
Whether his name was McGirr, Balloon,
or Wilkinson, he received the regular
nomination.
In revenge, those who believed in fair
play have twice defeated the Democratic
party in the town.
Both sides having had their innings -
the rank and file of the party now call
on them to unite. II they cannot do SO
they are not worthy leaders.
The last caucus was harmonious and all
seem to be united. But there is an under
current which must be checked.
The men who control the towns will
control the Legislature. II any Democrat
endeavors to defeat the Democrats in the
coming town election he must be there
after regarded as a Republican. We have
such men here.

why Foreign Weeds Flourish Here.

Why should it be that plants of an
other country not only find their way
here, but after arriving assert them
selves with a vigor far surprising our
native herbs? DIR. Gray, in writing upon
this point says, GAS the district here in
which the weeds of the Old World pre-
vail was naturally forest clad, there
were few of its native herbs which, if
they could bear the exposure at all,
Were capable of competition in the
cleared land with emigrants from the
Old World"
The European weeds had through long
ages adapted themselves to the change
from forest to cleared land, and were
therefore prepared to flourish here in
the rich forest soil that was suddenly
exposed'to the sun and subjected to 9TH
er new conditions by the telling of the
trees.-Rrofessor Byron D. Halstead in
Popular Science Monthly.

severe Punishment for a Small Offence

EaStport Senlnel.J
We often hear of the extreme severity
of the laws for the punishment of crime
which stood upon the English statute
book in former times and the cruelty
with which they were administered, and
naturally suppose it must have been at
some veryremote period when such a
state of affairs could have prevailed 1t
must surprise most people to learn that
as late of 1928, a boy was hung at st.
John, N. B., for stealing quarter of a
dollar The following account of the
affair which reads like a story from the
dark ages, is copied from volume of
local history published in that city few
years since. The trial took place at the
old Court House at the January term
1928, Hon. Judge Chapman presiding.
. ''Patrick Burgen, a boy of eighteen
years, was placed at the Bar charged
with entering the dwelling, in the night,
of his master, John B. Smith, manufac-
turer of ginger beer, corner of Union
street and Drury Lane, and robbing the
till of one quarter of dollar. He was
arrested the day after by John Macarthur
constable. The prosecuting officer, Clerk
of the Crown, John Thomas Murray Esq
The Court assigned William B. Kinnear,
Counsel for the prisoner, as to question
oflaw, not being allowed then to refer to
questions of fact or address the jury
(The names of the Jury are given) As
the evidence of guilty was clear, no other
ooIIrSa was omen to tho Jurv than var
dict of Guilty-with this was a recon-
mcndation to mercy. Yet the Judge in
sentencing the prisoner to be executed,

A C.hemist,s last Reoue,t.

Without the contrasted patience of
moral and physical pain there are men
of high intellect for whom the latter has
no terrors. The chemist Lavoisier was
summoned during the Reign of Terror
in France to his death; he calmly re-
quested few days in order to see the
result of some experiments which he had
in progress-in vain. This great philoso-
pher Of his day fell an immediate mar
tyr to the political necessities of the
ruthlesstyrant R Robespierre. Chambers

told him there was no hope for mercy,
and he should lose no time in preparing
for death. A petition was sent to the
Lieut.. Governor Sir Howard Douglas,
asking the interposition of the Preroga-
tive in behalf of the prisoner. Yet not
withstanding the Recommendation of the
jury, and the Coronation oath. of the
Sovereign requiring His Majesty to
cause Law and Justice in Mercy to be
executed in all his judgments" the law
was allowed to take its course, and
Patrick Burgen on the 21st of Febru-
ary, 1898, was executed from the sec
ond story window of the ''Old Gaol."
The executioner was Blizzard Baine, an
Englishman undergoing sentence of
two years for robbery. In addition of
release from prison, he received from
Sheriff White Ten Pounds. Baine lost
no time in leaving the city," One won
ders at the existence of state of affairs
which permitted the release of a criminal
like Baine and the offer of a temptation
to turn hangman, when no mercy could
be spared for poor boy guilty of such a
trifing offence against the laws. Surely
there has since been progress in the
world.

Mr.. Adlai E. Stevenson, Democrat,

Mr.. Adlai E. Stevenson, Democratic
candidate for the vice presidency, is be-
ing confounded in some of the papers
with Mr.. B. F. Stevenson, who was one
of the founders of the Grand Army Of
the Republic. Mr.. A. E. Stevenson was
never in the army. His fame rests en-
tirely upon his record as a decapitator of
fourth class postmasters-a record
which, candor compels us to say, will
commend him to the Democratic party
much more strongly than would record
Of distinguished service in the war of the
rebellion. t''

FREE TRADE PURE AND SIMPLE.

To appreciate the full significance of
he Democratic tariff resolution it is
necessary to compare it with the resolu-
luton of the majority of the committee
for which it was substituted by the con-
vention by large majority. The resolu-
ton reported by the majority of the COM
mittee was the resolution of 1884, with
the addition of a paragraph condemning
the Mckinley bill and approving the tariff
repeal acts passed by the present House
Of Representatives. Without this para
graph the resolution reads as follows:
knowing full well, however that legislation
affecting the occupations OF the people should
be cautious and conservative in method, not in
advance of public opinion but responsive to its
demands, the Democratic party is pledged to
revise the tariff in a spirit OF fairness to all.
But in making reduction in taxes it is not pro-
posed to njure any domestic industries, but
rather to promote their healthy growth. From
the foundation of this government taxes col
lected at the custom house have been the chief
source of federal revenue. Such they must con-
tnue to be. Moreover, many industries have
come to rely upon legislation for successful
continuance, so that any change OF law must be
at every step regardfu1 of the labor and the
capital thus involved. The process of reform
must be subject in the execution to this plain
dictate of Justice. All taxation shall be limited
to the requirements of economical government.
The necessary reduction in taxation can and
must be effected without depriving American
labor of the ability to compete successfully with
foreign labor, and without imposing lower rates
of duty than will be ample to cover any in
creased cost of production which may exist in
consequence of the higher rate of wages pre-
vailing in this country.
1t will be seen that this resolution rec
ognizes that many industries have been
built up in this country by discriminat-
ing duties; it admits that the removal of
: these duties would destroy or cripple

The Bangor Commercial is not exactly
enthusiastic over Cleveland S nomination.
1t says:
There were many Democrats, solictous only
for the welfare of their party, who doubted the
wisdom or expediency of third nomination of
Mr.. Cleveland, but the contrary sentiment was
too rong to be overcome, and the result is
the large majority wisdom lay, and that the re-
suit will justify their decision to the party and
