A NICE SCHEME.
How It Is Alleged the Democrats Pro-
pose to Fix the Ward Lines.

The Portland correspondent of the
Lewiston Journal furnishes the journal
with this statement:
ssWe're on the eve of the municipal
election, you know, and excitement is
frenetic. The latest story is all about a
jealous party worker and Republican
policeman. The party worker is a Demo-
GRAFT and he doesn't know that the police
man is a Republican. Therefore he
sided up to the latter and let the amazed
patrolman into great big secret. Said
he: We're going to carry that division
Onward lines anyway. If the thing COM
menees to look doubtful Monday, then
the wardens are going to put yes on
enough votes to carry the day.
This is what the policeman claims was
whispered in his ear, and it is respectful
ly submitted for the consideration of Re
publicans.

There were two very bad rows on Cen
tire street last Wednesday evening. One
began at the foot of Spring street where
two men were elected from a saloon. At
the corner the two men attacked young
man named Curran who was roughly
handled. He found an axe and essayed
to protect himself with it and almost
succeeded in chopping his assailant.
The gang then attacked young man
named O'Neill and gave him thump-
ing. Finding no further victims they
went down to Gorham's Corner where
they again found Curran and they
pitched into him again. Curran de-
Tended himself with his axe, and had it
not been for bystanders disarming him
there would have been a tragedy. One
of the party named Nee has been arrested.
The police say that the patrol was on Cen
tire street twice looking up the row, some
body having telephoned the station.
When the officers arrived the trouble had
ceased

What enormous fellows and what le-
viathan persons some of these Swedish
men and women are! Nowhere will
you sec such noble specimens Of adult
humanity as in Stockholm's streets.

es, though it is not least striking among
the nobility. Six feet is common
height for a man here, and really do
not believe / cxaggeratc in saying that
men Of Q feet 0 or inches arc as
abundant in Stockholm as men of O feet
with us.
Tho tallness Of the women is Just rs
noteworthy. You remark it less, how
ever, because they are SO we'll proper
toned. They say 1t is easy to tell by
the size Of tho boots outside the doors
which rooms of hotel are occupied by
the Swedish fair. This is n very en-
durable hit Mt the Swedish ladies.
Though they do wear skies or sevens in
shoe leather, no sculptor would find
fault with them ON professional
grounds. Moreover. they have most
winso,ne compilations. and Of course
blue eyes are nowhere more intensely
blue than here.
1t is comforting to know-I speak on
the evidence of one Of the pensionnaires
that Swedish maidens have n great ad-
miration for English bachelors. They
read French novels. but they believe in
English bridegrooms. The blood bond
still exists. l suppose, between them and

An INSANE MANS TERROR.


Osly . csssduetor's ceolness Prevs.esa .
fanac u o Street Car.
A big, broad shouldcred, handsome
man boarded a Russell avenue car at
Wisconsin street and took q seat mar
tho front door. He was perhaps 20 or
Is years Of age, we'll dressed, and Of
imposing appearance. but there werc q
wild. startled look about his face and
an uncasiness in his manner indicating
that something was wrong. Tho car
had gone only short distance when he
began to pull nervously away from the
corner, casting frightened glances over
his shoulder as though no saw some
thing beside him.
Suddenly he jumped MP and rushed
to tho door Of the car. throwing his arms
wildly, as though beating of an assail-
ant. and falling over the other passen-
gers in his haste to get ont.
Shoot him! Shoot him." he shout
ed to the conductor.
Shoot him quick, or I'll have to pull
his head Off can't stand this any
longer. He's after met Shoot him, I
say, or I'll pull his head off,
The quick kitted conductor, taking
in the situation at glance. pulled
him ont on the back platform and Slam
med the door behind him. There"
he said. "he can't get you now. I'll
Keep him in the car"
But the assurance did not satisfy the
unfortunate man. He covered behind
the conductor and peercd over his shoul-
der to watch his imaginary pursuer.
There he coInesi Throw him out Z"
ne shouted again. clinging to the con-
ductor in nbject terror.
"You stay here, and I'll throw him
| out the front door, said the conductor,
20 pacify him.
will You throw him over the dash
boarti!'
Yes"
And will the mules trample On
him.
Yes"
And will tho car run over him?"
Yes"
That's right-that Will serve him
right-throw him over the dashboard"
and he laughed in great glce over the
O& ktttiutS lll VI Ills s1dNtTSdTy.
The conductor Went into the car and
pretended 10 take somebody out of the
far corner and push him ont Of the
front door. The madman on the rear
platform shouted his appreciation and
jumped up and down with JOY. There
he goes" he screamed. push him
over-don't let him get away-pusl:
him over-shovc him under the car-i.
serves him right-he can't get Mo
now'''
The ladies in the car were thoroughly
frightened. and but for the GOODNESS of
the conductor there might have been a
stampede.
He assured them that he would keep
the man outside and get rid Of him as
soon rs possible. whicE quie:ed them
The lunatic made no further demon
stration beyond nervously watching the
inside Of the car rs though he feared
his foe would appear again. and when
the car reached Greenfield avenue he
said in a perfectly natural way: Here
is where live. I'll get off here" He
proved to- he "a south side gentleman
whose family is caring for him. He had
made his escape some hours before. and
the members of his family were anxi-
