Paris Exposition of 1900.

The question relative 10 site for the
exhibition of 1900 seems to be on the road
to a settlement. The subcommittee Of
municipal councillors appointed to re-
port upon the matter has given an opin-
ion in favor Of again utilizing the Champ
de Mars. Not tree of the Bots de
Boulogne would therefore be touched,
and not blade Of grass would be re-
moved from Lady VILLAGES property at
Bagatelle. The members of the sub
committee have also expressed them
selves in favor of organizing kind Of
central exhibition of machinery and ag-
riculture at Vincennes in order to give
the inhabitants of that rather neglected
portion of the metropolitan zone chance
Of turning a few honest pennies.-Lon-

STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST.

A Wateryille despatch says: It's an
open secret that Waterville is to lose her
present mayor, Charles +. johnson,
owing to the fact that one of the fat
plums of the present administration will
be his in a few days, this being the APP
pointment as minister to Sweden and
Norway, filling the Office held at the pres
ent time by Hon. w. w. Thomas OF Port
land The latest intelligence from Wash
ington is that President Cleveland is
agreeable and the appointment secured.
The executive council go to Thomas
ton next week on a visit to the Maine
State Prison, where they will give their
attention to providing quarters for the
criminal insane of the state in accord
ance with the law passed by the last
Legislature. There are now some 70 OF
these at the Insane Hospital and the
transfer will be made at an early date.
Clerk of the House W. s. Cotton pro-
poses, if he should be selected by the
next legislature, to inaugurate q new
plan for the reception of petitions and
bills. Instead of having them presented
by the members at the morning session
he would have them hand their papers IN

when they would be arranged by com
mittees and read the next day in open

tice in Massachusetts.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Patience.

Patience was eiyen again last evening with
even more snan than on Thursday night, as was
natural. for the performers felt much more at
home The numbers that were so warmly en-
cored on Thursday had to be repeated last night
and rbe audience were kept conVulsed with
laughter in the second act Misses Florence
Knight. Rice and Kicker repeated their great
musical successes and acted their parts with
great fidelity to the Gilbertian Idea. Messrs
Niekerson and Mitchell were full of fun as be-
fore. and the gallant officers of dragons stroye
with the rapturous maidens for supremacy in
the Judgment of the audience. The choruses
were full of life and power. These were the
lines in Mr.. MItchelPs topical song that had
timely local application:
Soon we'll have chance to see
What our water rates will be,
And so happily Well smile;
We won't have to stop and think
Every time we take drink
That it costs us such pile.
We've weary longed and waited
For reduction to be stated
And nyi how we would groan
Every time they sent their Dill;
For we found that they were still
Making us pay off their loan.
And then they'd plainly say.
You must hurry up and pay,
You must pay it in advance
Or you'll stand a pretty chance
OF getting no water at all.
Oh! things are hard indeed
When monopolistic greed
Shows such colossal gall!
There are various kinds of lights
TO be seen in town of nights,
There's electric, oil or gas;
ho' / am compelled to state
That in spite of present rate
The gas supplies the mass.
They make it on the shore,
In a tank they do it store
Till they take it to your place;
1t fills you with delight
To see it burn at night.
Till the bill comes in your face.
And then you sadly say,
[ must hustle now TO pay,
If this bill do discharge
My surplus will not be large,
Ny house Ill have to sell;
Oh! for want of something sweeter,
just wish that this gas meter
Would go right straight to -----!

agent in attempting such . great offense
! against American civilization, justice and
law His intense hostility to ex-President
Harrison and to the illustrious ex-secre
tasy Of state, who passed to his grave in
January last, is well known. II was that
which caused him to betray and desert
the great political party whose honors he
bad shared and brought him to his pres
ent attitude toward his former associates
and their work. So far - his recent man
ifesto on Hawaiian Affairs casts reflection
!, upon my Official action care little except
/, 70 the degree that his cruel and untruth-
tul WORDS strike at the noble band Of men
and women who have for ten months
stood so devotedly and unitedly in defense
Of American civilization
Mr. Stevens then makes spec iic denials
