TESTIMONIAL TO BISHOP HEALY.
A Mark of Affection From His Low.
ing People.

Leading Catholics propose to give -Rt.
Rev. Bishop Healy substantial evidence
of the respect in which he is held by his
people throughout the diocese. For
years it was something of a mystery
where the money came from for church
purposes, but the secret is out. Bishop
Healy returned back to the church every
dollar of the Episcopal offerings, retain
ing only enough for his expenses, and
sometimes not even that, preferring to
take from his private means rather than
to withdraw dollar from what has been
to him fund to be used for the church
alone. 1t seems needless to say that he
has been in realty a princely giver dur
ing all the years of his episcopate.
There is general desire to show the
Bishop that his people fully appreciate
what he has done for the church, and
meeting of the leading Catholics was
held and $500 subscribed on the spot.
The gentlemen present felt that all
should have an opportunity to add to
this free-will offering, and it Is expected
that before the bishop leaves for Cali
fornia the fund will exceed $4,000. 1t is
the present intentlon, of the bishop to
start shortly after October 5.

Barcelona, September, 24.-An .Anar-
chist tried to kill Captain General Mar

There was review of all the troops in
this district early in the morning. Short
ly before noon the general and staff took
their places on one side of the large
square and the march past began. A
large crowd had gathered near the
officers, but no trouble was thought
probable, while the military filled the
treets. Only four gend' 'armes were at
hand to preserve order. The head Of
the column had hardly passed the captain
general, when bomb was thrown from
the crowd. 1t struck near the captain
general and exploded with tremendous
force, A soldier of the civic guard was
killed and five others. wounded and will
probably die. Martinez de Campos was
thrown to the ground by the shock. He
was picked up by officers of his staff and
carried to the house. Aside from the
wound in his arm and a few bruises,
however, he was found uninjured.
The man who threw the bomb was
caught and delivered to the police. He
is said to have confessed during. the
night. He belongs to gang OF anarchists
who caused many explosions here last
year.

CLOSE OF sAco FAIR.
cebolla and Oakdaie Dot the Successful
Horses.
Especial toithe Press.1

lOpcClcl bVtNiO ICSSs
Saco, September 23.-The 46th annual
fair of the York County Agricultural
Society closed tonight and has proved
the most successful in the recent history
of the association. The attendance at
the race at the Saco driving park has
been nearly double that of previous
years and the hall show in City Hall,
Biddeford. has also been more successful
than usual.
A bicycle race and two trots, post
poned from Friday on account of rain
were finished. The horse races were the
best ever seen upon the track and as the
local favorite won in the 2.24 class the
crowd went wild. The attendance was
nearly 5000 people, about 1000 coming in
on rain checks of the day before.
Friday, Dyer of Lewiston, won the
first heat of the mile safety race, with
Lawrence of Saco, second and Scully of
Portland, third. Today .Scully did not
start. Dyer won easily with Lawrence
second, Fred B. Cobb of Biddeford,
third. Time 2. 3455
Cebolla, handsome stallion owned by
E. c.. Haynes of Biddeford, was the fav-
orite with the crowd in the 2.24 class,
won IN the fifth heat after an exciting
race. He was drivenby Frank Rollins,
who did well for man who has no more
experience. The stallion is undoubted-
ly fast, is a slayer and good fnisher
ought to be handled by first-class driv-
er.
Fannie W. won the first heat today.
the second of the race, but in the next
one was distanced through no fault of
hers. When the quarter pole was
reached one of the wheels of her pneu-
matte sulky refused to turn around and
she was almost brought to standstill.
The wheel finally loosened up, but by
that time she was out of it for that
heat.
OF course it was hard luck and the
judges offered to let her stay in the
race if the other drivers were willing.
The others stood up for their rights,
however. and Fannie w. went to stable.
lowing, trotting splendidly and without
second money.
The 2.35 class was not SO interesting,
but was still a good race. 1t was split
up in the third heat by Oakdale Dots
winning that after Gen. Mack had won
the first two easily. This was surprise.
Oakdale Dot won the last two heats and
Gen. Mack was distanced in the last,
being run in.
The fairness shown by the gentlemen
who occupied the judges stand during
the fair has received general praise.
Starter Isaiah Pompilly served to the
satisfaction of all and was ably assisted
by his two assistants, Deputy Sheriff
Stackpole of Biddeford and E. Fl. Milli-
ken of Portland. The summarizes:

Chinese Mouth Organs.

The mouth organ is the most ear
splitting of all Chinese musical instru-
ments. Those who have attended Chi
nese theater or Chinese funeral have
remarked the sharp, piercing notes OF
this instrument. Its sound in nature is
that of the gourd, but it is combina-
tion of the gourd, metal, wood and the
bamboo. This gives to it that unearthly
sound. 1t is the origin of the church
organ. but is made today on the same
style of architecture that it was s,SoO
wears before the Christian era-the date

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

There is another hitch in the construc-
tion of the Georges Valley railroad, that
causes delay and increased expense to the
contractor. The workmen have struck
a bog hole, about two miles below
Union village, where the ground squash
es out and The filling sinks below the
surface as fast as it is piled in. Mr.
Mitchell, the contractor, has met this
new difficulty with courage and energy,
and every known means of beating it is
employed. By deep soundings ledge has
been struck, and work will proceed un-
til solid roadbed is secured. This en-
tails much additional expense-S125 per
day, it is said for the time consumed in
filling the bog-but it is believed that
the difficulties will soon be surmounted.
The road is all completed, ready for
business, up to that point, we under
stand The bridge at South Union, a
mile beyond the bog, has not been built
yet, and cannot be to advantage until
trains can be run up there. The lumber
for the railroad stations has been
hauled.
State Treasurer Beal says that about
half dozen towns in the State have
thus far sent in claims for sheep killed
by dogs The claims already in aggre-
gate $3.50. Claims must be filed with
the State Treasurer before January 1st
to get returns. The mail of Thursday
brought to the treasurer about S2500
from dog licenses The aggregate amount
received up to this time is $500, and
there will probably be about $1,000 more
to follow. The dog law is new and not
thoroughly understood by some, and the
next legislature will quite likely be asked
to make some changes.
