ANNIE cARY's BENEvoLENcE.
The Two Rooms She Has Fitted Up at
Maine General Hospital.

Mrs. Annie Louise Cary Raymond has
always been staunch and liberal friend
of the Maine General Hospital. She has
made many liberal pecuniary gifts
to the institution, has established
free beds, and her last gift has been the
complete fitting up of two rooms for the
use of patients.
The two rooms in question are located
on the front of the central part of the
building, in the third story, overlooking
Arsenal street and the Western Promen-
ade. The one is for patients use and
the other for the nurse in attendance on
the patient. The patients room is six
teen feet long by fifteen wide, and fifteen
feet stud. 1t is lighted not only by the
front double window, but by one on the
side. The walls are tinted very de-
licate light buff, with broad light blue
frieze. The floor is nard finished in
oak, and several large, handsome rugs
in mode colors, are laid here and there
about the apartment. The bed is iron
framed, with brass and white enamel
finish. The furniture is very handsome.
1t is all in oak, with marble tops. Sew
eral richly framed water-colors, repre-
senting sea scenes, adorn the walls, be-
sides an artistic gem in broad old gold
frame, representing st. John with the
infant Jesus. On the dressing table
resls an elegant tete a tcte China coffee
set. A book case, to be supplied with
books adorns one of the walls, and in
front of the window so that a con-
valescent patient can lie there and enjoy
the superb view of the White Mountains
and the winding Fore river, is a COM
Portable lounge heaped with downy pill
lows. Near the lounge stands a high,
broad backed, deep seated, comfortably
upholstered easy chair. In fact all the
fittings and surroundings of the apart
ment are such as to suggest room in a
luxurious home, rather than hospital.
This room connects with the nurses
room which is eighteen feet long and
thirteen wide with the same stud as the
other. 1t is finished in the same style.
although not quite as elaborate in the
furnishings.
These rooms viii not be reserved by
Mrs. Raymond for the use of her own
friends who may need hospital treat
ment, but are placed at the disposition
of the hospital authorities so that the
hospital will have the advantage of the
income accruing from them.

ALARM ON THE BORDER.
Fears That Cara May Have Defeated the
Troopers.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, January 1.-The
alarm on the border over the Cara revo-
lutionary uprising is becoming intense.
Many startling rumors are circulated
concerning the fate of the United States
troops concentrated in Starr and Duyal
counties, in which section CARA has es-
tablished his principal recruiting sta
tions. He is known to have 500 men and
if the Mexican troops who are reported
to have murdered and destroyed General
Lorenzo Garcia have reached Garza's
stronghold, the united forces would give
Captain Bourke and his $50 United
States troops hard fight. 1t would not
be impossible for CARA to capture Fort
Ringold and the whole force of United
States troops in that section. No news
has been received for two days from the
United States troops operating against
Garza General Stanley will send two
more troops Of cavalry to the scene of
disturbance tomorrow, and if necessary
additional troops will be sent to the from
tier from other military departments.
The additional men will swell the total
number of United States troops in the
turbulent territory to about 1000.

WATERvILLE's WAR.
Mr.. Ney Recalls Little Talk the Mayor
Seems to Have Forgotten.
Especial to the Press,l

WATERvILLE, January 1.-The citizens
of Waterville are agog over the registra-
ton muddle. The principal report which
is just now blown to the four winds Of
heaven by the Democrats is the recent in
teryiew quoting Mayor Jones as saying
when asked if he had ever rendered the
appointment on the registration board to
any other than Hon. Reuben Foster, mo
sir, never! They say l have but say no.
and reckon | ought to know.n
Mr.. Z. j. Ney is the man to whom it
has been reported the mayor offered the
place after leaving in Judge Fosters
office the commission what that gentle
man refused to accept. Mr.. Ney corrob-
CRATES the report. To the PRESS CORE
spondent he said today: II feel that am
under no obligation to any man in Wat
erville, having endeayored to treat all
with equal courtesy, and can hardly un-
derstand Mayor Jones first offering me
an appointment and then making a priv
ate statement that he had never done SO.
The facts of the case are these: Tues
day December Stl, at about noon, Mayor
Jones called at my house and said to me:
Mr.. May, | have come to ask you to
serve on the Board Of Registration, and
shall be very pleased to extend to you the
appointment"
Il informed him that twas entirely out
OF the question, for my health would not
permit it, nor should be able to walk to
and from the registers office. He re-
piled: why, so far as the walking goes.

though | do consider at this time my
understanding of the language was suffi-
cient to know that had had the ap-
pointment not only rendered me but fair
ly urged upon me. Now Mayor Jones
had never entered my house before, and
was not on intimate terms with me. I
have no doubt he considered me
somewhat of what you would
call a Mugwump, having
at the last election voted for Repre-
sentative Frank Thayer, solid Demo
crat, but whom esteem and should vote
for again. told Mayor Jones this, and
asked him how it was that Hon. Reuben
Foster had not qualified. ''Oh," he said,
Mr.. Foster has never accepted my ap-
pointment and have got to look out for
else.'
Mrs. Ney heard Mayor Jones's conver-
sation with her husband. Mr.. Ney is q
German by birth, having come to this
country in 1851, and has been identified
with several of the largest carpet facto-
ries in the world as pattern maker. Be

The Presidents Reception-secretary
Blaine Entertains the Diplomats.

WASHINGTON, January 1.-The recep-
ton at the White House today was en-
tiTely successful.
For this occasion the White House was
made as brilliant and attractive as possi-,
bic, and the tout ensemble surpassed
that of any previous reception. Both
the President and Mrs. Harrison are fond
of plants and flowers, and the decora-
tions today exhausted the capacity of
the governmental conservatories.
The chief events of the forenoon were
the breakfast to the diplomatic corps by
Secretary Blaine, and the reception by
the President and Mrs. Harrison and the
wives of the members of the Cabinet.
The President and Mrs. Harrison wero

ton and the Secretary's breakfast to the

GRAY, January IA family named
Bennett, who recently moved here from
Brunswick, are greatly annoyed by let
ters threatening the lives of all the fami-
ly. These letters are very mysteriously
left on the doorsteps, window stools and
piazza of the house, and by the srictest
vigilance they are unable to discover the
party who leaves them. It is said that
at Brunswick and during their residence
here they have received sixty of these
letters. If the author is really deter
mined to destroy the family, it is very
kind of him to send SO many notices. as
they can arm themselves and avoid be-

Marauding Mongols Americans at Foo
Chow in State of Terror.
LONDON, January IA despatch from
Shanghai states that Notwithstanding
the punishment recently inflicted by the
Imperial Troops upon the Mongolian out
laws who committed so many depreda-
tions in Manchuria, lawless bands are
still marauding in the Northwestern part
of China. 1t is reported that these
bands have destroyed a number of
temples in that section of China. No
religions or political Importance is at
tached to the movement and, it is be-
lleved 1T is not a preconceived rising
against the Chinese authorities. The
despatch says that the matter is partly
due to agrarian troubles, the Mongols
being land owners, and the marauders
include large number of Shan Tung
farmers.
The use of the word Mongol in the des-
patch in connection with Shan Tung
farmers is somewhat confusing, owing to
the TACT that Ii the natives of Mongolia
are meant it is hard to determine with
any degree of certainty where the
trouble is located Mongolia lies north
ward of the Great Wall of China while
the province of Shan Tung lies to the
southwest of the Great Wall, being sepa-
rated from Mongolia by the provinces of
Shan-se and Peechee-tee in which last
named province Peking, the capital of
the Empire, is located

rebels get possession of these forts we
have no war vessels in the Asiatic SQUAD
ron that could approach Foo Chow.
Americans are all alarmed because of the
defenceless condition of their wives and
children. So much are they alarmed
that they think of expatriating them
selves.'

New Years Day.

Yesterday opened bright and warmer
but later in the day the clouds gathered.
The publicWffices and banks were closed
and the post Office was open only at the
holiday hours. Few places of business
however recognized the day by closing
their doors, unless it was for the purpose
of taking account of stock.
There was some calling among the
young people but as a rule the old
fashioned custom is more noticed in the
breach than in the observance.
