Truly Yours,

Since the town reports have been
given out number have been engaged
in figuring on the liquor report, which
seems not to have been made as it
should have been, though precisely as
all liquor reports have been made here
totore. Some of those who are figure
ing are confident that the town is in
debted on the liquor business, but this
is evidently mistake. As the town
has constantly been receiving into the
treasury more or less money from this
business, and having never paid out
one cent from the treasury to carry on
the traffic it is difficult to see how it
can be the loser. The exact amount
paid into the town treasury for the past
ten years has been $S33.07 out of the
liquor business and not one cent paid
out.
1t ought to be understood that all
this figuring Is being done in the in
terest Of the old ring for the purpose of
defeating selectman Gibson and elect
ing man who can gracefully wear the
ring collar. Without doubt voters will
look into the matter.

Mr.. Cleveland will be entertained
at the White house by President
Harrison the day before Inauguration,
and the two will go to and from the
ceremony together. Mr.. Harrison
will leave Washington In the after
noon. In this way the courtesy
shown by Cleveland to Harrison
four years ago will be returned, and
the courtesy shown that political OPP
ponents can treat each other as gen.

Things were different in "the good
old times" John Adams exhibited
his smallness by commissioning a lot
of midnight judges on March 3,
1891, and fleeing from the executive
mansion in the early morning hours
of the 4th, to avoid the necessity of
giving any official or personal courte-
sizes to jefferson, who had defeated
Adams in 1900. jefferson clad in a
full suit Of homespun, mounted his
horse, rode to the capitol without
pomp or ceremony, hitched his horse
to convenient gate post, delivered
his inaugural address and rode bach
with only vacancy and silance to well
come him.
When John Quincy Adams was
succeeded by jackson March 4, 1929
there was i'll temper on both sides tc
jar the inaugural ceremonies. The
younger Adams managed to exhibit
little frigid politeness but there was
an entire absence of personal or of
fetal courtesies. In 1869, wher
Grant succeeded Johnson, the two
hated each other with all the intensity
of their patures and both were gooC
haters. 1t is known that johnson
would not ride with or receive Grant
and it was known also that Gran
would not ride with or receive John.
son. johnson fired off farewell ad
dress through the press advising the
nation to repudiate its war debt, ant
hustled off in an early train for his
Tennessee home, while Grant rode
alone to the capitol and returned
to be received by the servants at the
white house.
The era of broad-gauge American
courtesy on inauguration day began
with President Arthur He mad,
Cleveland the guest of honor at /:
white house dinner the day before in
auguration, and accompanied tn,
president-elect to the capitol, sttin.

Locomotor ataxia is the loss of the
contracting power of the muscles, the
patient in attempting to walk cannot
place his feet as he intended: he has
sprawling gait, the knees bend I'M

on exertion the muscles are spasmod-
icallv contracted, the want Of harmo-
nv IN the muscular movements in
crease, and the patient cannot main
tain an erect position, as the disease
advances the muscles of the upper
extremities become affected, and the
patient can only grasp objects with
difficulty. The causes of the
structural LESSONS of the spinal cord
producing locomoter ataxia are in
this case, no doubt, exposure to wet
and cold 1t is fact not known by
the people that it is as possible to
take cold in the spinal cord as in the
lungs. Cold in the spinal cord man
fests itself just as cold anywhere
else manifests itself, that is by con-
gestiou, and if the colds are repeated
the congestion becomes fixed condi-
ton that is not easily resolved, and
in time may 60 on to the condition
known as locomotor ataXia.

For the Good of Others

Rev. Mr.. Williams Heartily En-
dorses Hoods Sarsaparilta.
We are pleased to present this from
Rev. A. A. Williams, of the Sillsbee
street Christian Church. Lynn, Mass:
az see no reason why Clergyman. more than
layman, who knows whereof he speaks,
should hesitate to approve an
Article Of Merit
and worth, from which he or his family have
been signally benefited, and whose commenda-
ton may serve to extend those benefits to
others by increasing their confidence. My wife
has for many years been sufferer from severe
Nervous Headache
for which she found little help She has tried
many things that promised well but per-
formed little. Last fall q friend gave her a bot
tie of Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t seems surpris-
ing what simply one bottle could and did do
for her The attacks of headache decreased in
number and were less violent in their inten-
sity, while her general health has been i'm
proved. Her appetite has also been better.
From our experience with
Hoods Sarsaparilla
l have no hesitation in endorsing its nserits."

NEW ROUTE TO THE PACIFIC.
The opening of third route from st.
Paul to the Pacific ocean Yesterday Is a
notable event in the business and rail-
road progress Of this city.
MOTHER city IN the country is the direct
terminal of three transcontlnental lines
of railroad, and this fact shows the i'm
portauce of st. Paul as a railroad center.
The 500 road was unquestionably
secured by the Canadian Pacific for the
purpose of obtaining an entrance into
st. Paul. 1t is high compliment to
the city that a railroad should be bought
and extended in order to make st. Paul
the eastern terminus for route across
the continent. The compliment is all
the greater when 1t is remembered that
it is practically the act of the Canadian
government.
st. Paul modestly accepts the implied
compliment and welcomes the Soo-Pa-
cific route.

IN THE THEATERS.

A minstrel show including more than
one clever comedian is novelty that
the theater-goar of today does not ex-
pect 10 witness. His establishment at
beholding burnt cork aggregation
containing several real funny men and
five pretty dancing maidens is there
fore quite pardonable. for hitherto no
woman has dared 10 participate III a
minstrel entertainment. The large au-
dlence which assembled at the Metro
politan opera house last night was
greeted by such combination.
"Cleveland's All-United Minstrels,"
as the organization styles itself,
pleased the people Immensely.
The comedians are excellent, the sing
ing good, it not phenomenal, and the
French quadrille. danced by the live
beautiful French maidens," startling,
If not sedate. This last feature, which
ended the performance. sent the public
out mednating. 1t is undenably
French and emphatically risque. Some
might deem the dance vulgar. 1t is
certainly questionable, spiced. as it is,
with almost as much danger to the
maIden'S limbs as as it is to the public's
morals. Clarence w. Goodyear, Lew
Spencer and Lewis Benedict are a very
comic trio. Mr.. Goodyear is especially
artistic.

This was the talk made by one of

right shame. Here are TWO men-one
who had his nose broken. and the other
his watch stolen. The police arrest one
of the parties, and after two or three
continuances he is fined $40, while the
other fellow is still at large"
The men vino did not seem to have a
very exalted idea of the manner in
which the police handled cases, and
this one in particular, we're in the po-
lice court as witnesses in the case
against John Swickel, who was charged
with assault and battery. On Saturday
evening, Sept. 16, Joseph Driscoil and
Michael McMahon. railroad men, were
assaulted at the corner of Rice street
and Como avenue, br two men, one of
them being Swickel. In the row
which followed Swickel struck Dris-
coll i'll the face, breaking his
nose. While this was going on Swick-
els partner, whose name is said to be
Sweeney. grabbed McMahon's watch
and skipped. The police were notified,
and Swickel was arrested a few min
utes after the assault and robbery. He
was arraigned in the police court On
charge of larceny, but. as it was claimed
Sweeney took the watch, this charge
was dismissed and another charging him
with assault and battery substituted.
The trial of the case was set for yester-
day afternoon and a jury demanded.
When the case was called F. l.. McGhee,
attorney for Swickel, announced that
his client would plead guilty to the
charge of assault. Driscoll told his
story, but said nothing about the rob-
berry, and Swickel related his side of the
case. The result was a fine of $40 was
imposed and paid. Mcmahon. who was
in the court room, wanted to know why
tine police had not arrested the man who
took his watch, but no one was able to
answer his question. There was no ques-
ton, McMahOn said. about the guilty
party. as friends of the fellow had been
to him and wanted to pay him $50 to let
the case drop. Some one suggested that
the police could not find the man who
took the watch. but Mcmahon said this
was not correct, as the fellow had been
seen on Rice street two or three times
lately. Several of the friends of Nc
Mahon, who work in the railroad yards
at:night, stated they were afraid to go
home except in crowds of three or four
after pay day, as they were likely to be
held up for what money they had il
alone. owing to the gangs of tough char
acters i'll that section OF the city.

The Irving Engagement.

The desire to see Mr.. Irving, Miss
Terry and their London supporting
company is greater-as IL should be
than for any previous theatrical engage
ment ever held in this city. Mr.. Irving,
as is well known. has made himself the
foremost actor of the English-speaking
world. and he comes here to show us
something of the art which has attracted
thousands of men and women both i'll

his first appearance here at the Metro
poiitan opera house next Thursday

No better selection could be made, as it
is entirely new to America. This will
be its second production in this country.
Its initiatory having been made in San
francisco. The piece had a long run in
London, and the part of Beckett is a.
favorite one with Mr.. Irving, while
Miss Terry, as fair ROsamOnd, has am
equal opportunity, and both are seen to
admirable advantage as we'll as many of
the leading members of the company.
The other plays of the repertoire are
all strong and effective, and it is diff
cult TO choose from among them. There

1.-The Merchant of Venice" III which
we have Mr.. Irving as Shylock, all i'm
personation in which he has excited
vast amount of controversy among the
critics, and Miss Terry as Portia. who
doubtless has never been rIvaled. She
is all artist through and through, and
has most charming personality. She
is sure TO become the wonder and de-
light of all who see her. The scenic
effects and the stage settings OF all the
plays given by the Irving cnlhpany
have, from all accounts, never been
equaled, and are positive revelation. All
of the plays presented by this company
are given in their entirety. "'Fhe Mer-
chant of Venice" is Tor the first time in
many years III this country, ended with
the fifth and last act, which heretofore
has been cut, the performance closing
with the exit of Shylock.
The seats are selling rapidly, and
those wishing good places should secure
them at once. The Irving aud Terry
sale opened at the box Office of the
Metropolitan opera house yesterday
morning, and The take for the first day
was the largest in the history of the
theater. A great many seats were pur-
chased for each performance, but there
are still plenty of good seats left for any
of the plays. Those desiring good seats

BRAzIL,s REVOLUTION.

The real purpose of the revolution in
Brazil has recently been divulged. and
places new aspect upon the condition
of affairs. Although dissatisfaction
with the arbitrary, eXtravagant and OPP
pressive conduct of President Peixoto
was the ostensible cause of the uprising,
ii now transpires that there was, under
lying this dissatisfaction, desire for
the restoration of the monarchy that
had its seat among the officers of the
army and navy. Under the empire the
only privileged classes were those which
comprised the dignitaries of these two
branches of the public service. Since
the establishment of the republic their
claims to recognition have been in
manner ignored, and the civil list has
enjoyed the honors and emoluments
that it was within the power of the gov
eminent to beStow. A restoration of
the old order of things is now sought,
and to secure this restoration the mill
tary aud naval powers are working in
unison.
The law of succession to the Brazilian
throne fOrbds the accession of any fe-
