DIDYOU
Ever Stop to Think
liow much very little change may do to
make your home cheerful and beautiful 1t
is well worth some study. Take for in
stance the oh familiar pictures. How
much can be done to beautify them by Just
changing their old faded and stained mats
by nice new ones. These can be secured
at Quimby's Art Rooms at trihinQ
cost and will do wonders in
Frightening up the home. If you feel
disposed to do more, and make your annual
house cleaning as complete as possible why
not have fewof the old dingy ,dust-grimmed
frames replaced with new ones! This
need not be expensive. Some very beauti-
full and dainty frames can now be made
from the many artistic mouldings that now
come in the low priced grades. The art of
moulding manufacture has progressed won-
| derfully in recent years and among the va
riety of late styles that may be seen ut
| Quimby's art rooms--the largest assortment
ever carried in the Kennebec Valley-are
| beautiful mouldings which can be made up
| at wonderfully low prices. and at the same
time make handsome and stylish frames
| Don't go elsewhere to have pictures framed
until you see his mouldings and get his
| prices. Perhaps you think of having q new
frame for family portrait. The fashy frame
that you bought from a glib-tongued agent,
and thought was such splendid bargain,
has begun to show its real quality. Its
joints are sprung, it looks old and warped
and dingy, and you feel that it was poor
economy ever to have invested in such
a fraud. AT Quimby's art rooms the
same amount of money will buy you a
beautiful portrait frame that will not fade,
or warp, or spring at the joints or grow
| diugy with wear. They are stylish and in
| good taste, and if you take your portrait
out of its old frame and place it in one of
these you will add much to the attractive
| ness of your home and never have
cause to regret your action. Those who re-
| side outside the city should hunt up these
| art rooms. Don't think that because you
desire moderate priced frame you cannot
| find it there. Mr.. Quimby has a very wide
range of mouldlngs at varying prices and
can give you tasty frame at any figure you
| feel able to pay.

IS HE A CITIZEN?

From Chicago comes the information
that Governor Altgeld is not citizen
of the United States, and that all his
official acts are invalid. There may or
may not be grounds for this story, but
for the good name of American citizen
ship it is to be hoped 1t is true.
1t will he relief to find that the I'M
warranted and unjust attack upon our
tribunals and onr administration of
justice does not come from an Ameri-
can that the attack upon those who
fairly and honestly tried and convicted
the Haymarket murderers does not
proceed from one who has sworn alle-
glance to our hag and obedience to our
laws.
Altgeld has gained notoriety, IL that
was what he was seeking, bnt IT is of
the kind that is Stunned and avoided
by all honest and law-abiding citizens.
America should have no place Of honor
for the man who reviles her institutions
to gain the applause of dangerous dis
ciples of anarchy aud revolution.

ClEVELAND'S CRISIS.

Perhaps the president does no realize
that he is facing the most considerable
crisis of mis- official life.
His immediate course on the silver
emergency will tend TO strengthen or
weaken him, as he acts with prompt
ness and vigor or dsllies so long ss to
convince the public that he is incapable
of understanding the gravity OF this
especial situation as well as The import
ance of other great questions.
The sluggishness Of the presidents
mind has often been demonstrated. He
failed to appreciate the importance OF
the tariff question for so long a time
that when he took the wrong side on it
there was no surprise mani tested.
II is evident already that the presi

its decision should be made at the
earliest possible moment. The neces-
sity of immediate action Is oil the
greater because whatever the decision
may be it will save the state from any
further disgrace. Ak
In the one case it will end this farcical
and shameful gathering Of men daily
at Newport. In the other 1t will settle

cratic claims on the governorship and
right. the wrong that they claim the
Republicans have committed.
An early decision can harm no one.

nature as to require the shortening of
Colonel Honey's trip abroad. The
sooner it is reached the better.

They GOT ON BOARD.

The board Of aldermen came to its
senses yesterday afternoon and accepted
the invitation of the council to meet in
joint convention on July 10 for the
election of license commissioners. This
result was looked for and indeed was
foreshadowed in the News several days
ago. That the vote would be unani-
nous was. however. hardly expected.
The West combine had declared its in
tention Of standing by its colors to the
last ditch; but it would seem when the
band wagon was ready to start 1t
couldn't resist the temptation to get on
board. So all its grandiloquent protes-
tations that il would perish politically
rather than yield were forgotten in its
amusing scramble to get on record as
favoring proposition 1t has previously
denounced.
There is reason to hope that at
the next meeting the plumbing ordin-
nance will be passed in concurrence.
The effort made yesterday to amend it
in such manner as to give to the
superintendent of health authority to
appoint an inspector was the last resort
of the combine, aud failed as it should
have done. Even had it succeeded in
the board II would have been Of no
avail, for as the city solicitor pointed
out the city council cannot delegate its
powers.
There is a deep rooted feeling against
one man power in the making of ap-
pointments which has found expression
in the law recently passed by the gene
raj assembly taking from the mayors
that authority and no one will claim
that there Is any good reason why it
should be given to subordinate munich
pal officers.

dent does not realize the Importance OF
the financial cirsis that the country Is
struggling to Withstand. His utterances
are altogether trivial and wide OF the
mark, and show that he either is devoid
of real interest and, knowledge or be-
lieves the people to be.
Either OF these conditions would be
fatal to the presidents future. The
only salvation for Mr.. Cleveland is quick
and vigorous action, which he appears
disinclined to take.

The Air
We Breathe.

Science teaches us that nature
carefully provides essentially the
same air in all parts OF the earth.
Not only are its principal constit-
uents the same, but also of one un-
varying degree of purity.
AT all attitudes and in all parts of
the world-in the streets of the most
populous cities and on the SUBMITS
OF the highest hills-the proportion
Of the oxygen to the nitrogen in the
FREE AIR varies but few hundredths
of ONE per cent.
While the amount of vapor in the
air may vary greatly, and we suffer
no appreciable harm, We must have
an atmosphere with not LESS than 20
per cent. of oxygen. The food we
eat may differ greatly, but the air we
breathe constantly must have oxy-
gen, with the slightest possible varia-
ton.
Bananas and blubber will each
make vital blood; but neither the
one nor the other, or any other food,
can produce a drop of vital blood
without oxygen.
The blood is the life, and the life
blood is sustained only by the oxy-
gen we breathe.
And while nature is lavish in its
supply Of pure air, We often fail to
avail ourselves Of the proper amount
of it.
Our indoor vocations-our insult
ficiently ventilated dwellings, shops,
factories, halls and schoolhouses,
as well as our STOPPING postures and
tight jackets, in study and work
added to the CONSTRUCTED and fire.
quently diseased condition of our
bronchial tubes and lung cells, con-
spire to rob us daily of the neces-
sary supply Of natures free oxygen.
And in the degree that oxygen is
wanting, neither food, rest nor medi.
cine can supply the deficiency. All
attempts to find a substitute are not
only futile, but a waste Of time and
money, and frequently perilous to
precious life. IF you have reason to
believe that you are suffering for
oxygen avail yourself OF the earliest
opportunity to supply the deficiency.

The suspension Of silver coinage in

other silver sections are very hard hit.
They are crying Justify They have
not the slightest cause to complain. The

on an artificial and unsupstantial basis,
of their own creation. The bottom has
always been liable to drop out Of their
government-nurtured business, and now

themselves to thank, or blame, for It.
