A somewhat novel and interesting case
came before the municipal courtin Dover,
Friday. The facts of the case are some
thing like the following: The Piscata-
quis Valley Camp-meeting Association
was incorporated Dec. 2, 1879, under the
laws of the state of Maine, and soon after
purchased ten acre tract of land in the
town of Foxcroft, just outside the village
limits. The association is religious
body and the land was purchased for re-
ligious purposes and was at once sur
rounded by high fence, and it being a
wood-lot, the under-brush was cleared
UP, streets laid out, various buildings
for religious worship built and the land
adjoining the streets regularly laid out
into lots for tents or cottages. One week
in each year a campmeeting is held on
the grounds, which is attended by large
numbers of people, the number increas-
ing each year until for want of room
three acres more were added. For the
convenience of it's officers and friends a
stable was erected on the grounds and
pensation, the aim being to make the
stable self-supporting. An eating house
was also er1cted which has been rented
to parties who would furnish suitable
board for members of the association
and others.
The selectmen of the town of Foxcroft
have assessed taxes on the stable, eating
house and the Lind not included in the
street limits, and also on those individ-
uals who own cottages on the grounds.
The taxes have lot been paid, and at the
town meeting held in March, '92, the
town voted to sue the association, and
likewise one of the cottage owners, and
D. r. Straw of Guilford was selected as
the one to make the test case on. The
case came up Friday before Judge Brown
of the municipal court.
The town claims that the stable and
eating house have been used for a profit,
that the association is not legally char
liable institution, and that under the law
they are bound to pay the tax. The Off
GERS of the association claim that the sta
BILE and eating house were erected for
the accommodation of association men,
bers and their friends and not for pur-
poses of profit ard that under the laws
of the State they are a charitable institu-
tuition and therefore exempt from taxa
ton. A number of witnesses were called
on both sides, the case occupying the
time from ten o'clock until nearly five.
No decision was rendered and the case
promises to be very interesting one,
and will probably 60 to the law court.

a good groundwork education at home
and then went abroad, completing his
studies in England, Switzerland and
Germany. When the civil war broke
out, shortly after his return from Europe,
Mr.. Mitchell joined the Union army as q
second lieutenant in the Twenty fourth
Wisconsin Volunteer infantry. He served
with distinction and after the war de-
voted his attention to mercantile pur-
suits, in which he was eminently success
full. He was Democratic member Of
the Wisconsin state senate in 1872, 1873,
1875 and 1876. In 1885 he was president
Of the public school board Of the city of
Milwaukee.
Mr.. Mitchell's debut in national poll
tics was made in the Fifty-second con-
gress, to which he was elected as 3 Demo-
GRAFT by plurality of 1000 over his Re
publican opponent, r. G. Spencer. In
the general election last November he
was reelected, and his elevation to the
senate will therefore necessitate a special
election in the Fourth congressional dis
trict, which he represented.
Mr.. Mitchell is man Of fine personal
appearance. He is very popular with
the Union veterans, owing to his policy
while member of the board of 1nanag-
ers of the National Home for Disabled
Volunteer Soldiers, to which position he
was appointed by President Cleveland.
It is thought by many that this fact mill
tated strongly in his favor during the
late senatorial contest.
Mr.. Mitchell is connoisseur Of fine
paintings and aristocratic horsefiesh.
He has large amount Of money judi
ciously invested in each of his fads. He
takes great interest in agricultural mat
tiers, in which he is good deal Of an
expert, having been president Of the
state society for many years. Mr.. Mitch
ell is also president of the Milwaukee
Gaslight company and the Wisconsin
Fire and Marine company's bank and is
largely interested in other important en-
terprises in his native city.

When you turn the corner into Penn
sylyania avenue life takes on different
hue. Here are men and women whom
YOU know, others of whom you have
simply heard, and others still who are
strange to the civilization of the East. 1t
is almost always very great, very pic
turesque, and very interesting crowd
that moves slowly up and down before
the little shops. There are Indians in
their blankets, and the women who lead
the fashion, these latter snatching few
hasty moments from what they are
pleased to regard as their social duties
meaning thereby their social vocations
and pleasures-for the shopping that is
made necessary by the wear and tear OF
the rush in which they take part, and
upon which many of them will no doubt
look back, when they shall have reached
a calm old age, i'll regretful astonish-
ment. And you will see, besides the In
dams and the women of fashion, the
Southwesterner, who wears his large
brimmed, soft hat and his loose clothes,
and has the chewing habit strong upon
him, and whose every movement is sup
pie and indicative of the freedom and in
dependence of the frontier, of a familiar
ity with the saddle and contempt for
forms. There is a vast difference be-
tween him and his fellow from the mid
die West, upon whom the formalities and
conventionalities are beginning to lay
their he IVY hand. who binds himself up
tightly in frock-coat that clasps him
snugly, while he really prefers to sit
through his working hours in his shirt
sleeves, and still insists upon wearing
the heavy boots essential in virgin coun-
tries, and the soft hat that has the virtue
of comfort-narrower as to the brim,
perhaps, than his of the southwest. There
is very little homogeneity in the throng.
There is the smartly dressed Yankee or
New York Congressman, with the pert
air of business SO suggestive Of the last

New Jersey has got apparently what it
has not had for good many years, a
really reputable Democratic governor,
who is not simply the agent of the ring,
but has a mind Of his own, and frmness
enough to act upon it. He has just
shocked the ring that has been in the
habit of debating all appointments by
selecting William Walter Phelps for the
bench, and refusing to sign a bill de-
signed to cripple the power of Republi-
can mayor. In all probability he will be
one-term governor.

There is bill now before the legisla-
ture to authorize the Maine Central rail-
road to issue $5,OO0,0O0 of new stock to
improve and extend it's road. This stock
will be a first class security. 1t will be
safe, readily convertible and pay good
rate of interest. It has very essential of
a savings bank investment. If the dis
eliminating tax bill passes savings banks
in order to avoid the increase of taxation
proposed in that measure and keep up
their dividends will be compelled to
confne their investments to as large a
degree as possible to this State. Indeed
this and to make the investments of the
banks safe are the purposes of the bill
according to its spokesman. Here then
is in sight an Investment which
will be inside of Maine, and which will
be eminently safe, and which will afford
a fine opportunity for the authors
of the discriminating tax bill to
assist in practical way the savings
banks to accomplish its alleged pur-
poses. 1t lies in the power of the
legislature to say how this new issue

Everybody with half an eye knows by
this time that the discriminating savings
bank tax bill now before the legislature
is scheme on the part of several large
enterprises in this state, among which
the Aroostook railroad is prominent, to
get the state to assist them to market
their securities through the savings
banks. The buncombe which has been
fired off before the committee about the
savings banks having only few State of
Maine bonds and about the insecurity Of
some of their western investments has
deceived nobody. 1t would have been
better to have stated at the outset, open
ly and frankly, just what was wanted.
If the securities are safe and convertible
there is no reason why the banks should
not take them. If they lack these
essentials, there is every reason why they
should not.

1t is to be hoped that the story that
comes from Paris, Texas, of the slow
torturing of negro to death in most
fiendish manner, will prove, like the re-

it is true it indicates savagery in this
