RATES.:
A SUGGESTION TO THE PRESS.

During the coming June the grand
est opportunity which has ever occur
red, or may again be given in life,
will be offered the press of Arkansas
in which to display the grand but as
vet undeveloped resources OF our
State. The Press Association, In a
body, propose visiting the Worlds
Far, at Chicago, next June.
We think it most propitious OPP
portunity, and would respectfully sug-
gest that each newspaper in the state
prepare special edition for that oc-
casion, containing description OF the
country and its resources in its re-
spective locality, which would certain
ly prove to be one of the greatest and
most beneficial advertisements the
state has ever received. Such an ad-
vertisement would have access to the
thousands of homes which have here
tofore been impossible to reach. With
the advantages of our state thus por-
trayed to thousands of people who
know nothing of it or its citizens, a
lively impetus might thus be given to
the tide of immigration which other
wise would ere long seek homes in the
distant west. OF course this sugges-
tion means that each paper, accord
ing to its ability, surroundings, ETC.,
be governed by its own judgment as
to the number of copies it may fur.
nish for distribution. That the press
of Arkansas, in its general makeup,
will compare most fouorably with
that of any state in the Union there
is no doubt. Brethren, what do you
say in response to the proposed
scheme2 A decision should be rem
dered Immediately; there is no time
to lose.-Lafayette Recorder.
We most heartily concur in the
above sensible suggestion, and, If
any number of the press will agree
thereto we will get up an article as to
the advantages and resources of this
city and county, for our paper and
print thousand extra copies for free
distribution from the Arkansas
Worlds Fair building at Chicago.
If every newspaper man who at
tends the meeting Of the State press
association, at Fort Smith, on June
goth next, will follow out the sug-
gestion, Arkansas would indeed be
well advertised. Then when visitor,
in looking through the Arkansas
building at the Worlds Fair, becomes
interested in the state and wishes to
seek location, he or they can select
newspapers from different portions OF
the State, for examination, and from
them get clearer and better idea OF
what We have to offer the industrious
home-seeker.
BY all means, let all the news
papers respond to this suggestion
Who will help advertise Arkansas
Speak out quick 1t will be next tC
useless for few papers to comply
Herewith, as the idea is to have al
portions OF the state go into the
scheme.

Cholerlne IN Pennsylvania

Swickley, Penn: We had an cpl
demic of cholerine, as our physicians
called it, in this place lately and made
great hit with Chamberlain's Colic,

week and have since sold nearly a

TENNEssEE's DISGRACE.

Like Arkansas, Tennessee is cursed
with a penitentiary lease system,
which is a disgrace to her. Below
we give a press item, showing the
corruption and inhumanity Of her
system, 1t says;
"The committee appointed by the
Tennessee Legislature to visit the va
rious stockaGes and camps in which
the convicts are kept by the lessees, in
a report made Wednesday, is very Sc.
we're in condemnation of the treat
ment given the prisoners in every
prison, except the ones at Nashville
and Inman. 1t is alleged that the
convlcts are insuiilciently fed and
clothed, aud that they are punished
too often and too severe. The re-
port also alleges that women prison
ers are often stripped naked and
whipped in the presence Of men, the
feet Of the guard being placed on their
necks while they writhe in agony in
6lcted by the blows. Illegitimate
children have been born in the pris-
ous, the result Of guards admitting
favorites to women's departments.
The report in the severest language
condemns the treatment ccorded the
prisoners, and will create revolu-
tion in that state against the lease
system"

SHALL THE VESSEL BE MOVED?
A Novel Case Brought Before the United
States Court.

LIP the United States Circuit Court
yesterday morning, there was on trial
before Judge Webb, a case which is the
first of the kind under the statute, and
the decision of which will be awaited
with interest by vessel owners. The
title of the case is the United States VS..
Hudson G. Hall ct ais. This is q bill in
equity brought against the defendants as
owners of the schooner William 81.
Jones. The vessel, lime schooner,
took fire and was scuttled near Rockland
by order of the owners. They claimed
itwas impossible to move her. The
government claim under the river and
harbor bill of 1890 that it is an obstruc-
ton not allowed by law and this bill is
brought to compel the owners to remove
the vessel. The case is in progress. Dis
trict Attorney Dyer appears for the gov
ernment. and Hon. w. H. Fogler OF
Rockland and Benjamin Thompson, Esq,
of this city for the owners of the vessel.

How the Little Girl Gets a Living.

A lady living on Cumberland street in
the vicinity of Casco has been almost
daily importuned for flowers by a little
girl, who had always a different story to
tell, and some of them very ingenious.
One day it would be sick mother who
was subject for sympathy, and flowers;
at another time it was for the grave of a
little sister, and various mythical per-
sonages were brought into requisition.
One day last week the lady went out to
the gate and watched the little girl GO
up the street and join a companion who
also had flowers, and saw them sit down
on the steps of house and parcel them
out into small bouquets. Later they
were seen at the Union Station offering
them for sale.

Improvements on the Boston & Maine
railroad are coming rapidly. Sometime
ago the road ordered fifteen vestibule
coaches from the Pullman works and
seven of these cars arrived Saturday, and
beginning today the Boston & Maine has
inaugurated a system of solid vestibuled
trains to Bar Harbor and also to the
mountains The Pullman company has
adopted new wide vestibule for all of
it's new cars, and although the new
style has few advantages over the old
vestibule SO far as safety and stability to
the train is concerned, yet it does
possess advantages which add TO the
comfort of the passengers. This is
especially true i'll regard to ventilation
as the new vestibules not only have
windows in the doors on the side but
also in the ends which can be opened.
A trap door is SO arranged as to open
automatically with the vestibule door
and by this means the steps are entirely
covered when the vestibule is closed and
the platform extended out to the full
width of the car The vestibules which
have been put in the Boston &c Maine
coaches just built by the Pullman COM
pany are of this new type, and the Boston
& Maine in anticipation of solid vesti-
bule train service has been Construct
some new baggage cars in the shops at
Salem, which have also been equipped
wi9h the wide vestibule. The new Boston
& Maine coaches are constructed in
the most substantial and scientific man
ner known to the Pullman company.
They are painted on the outside the regu-
lation Pullman color and are very hand
somely lettered in light BostonSsMaine"
above the windows. The interiors are
finished in light mahogany. The cars
are monitor rooted like all Pullman cars
and have been fitted with the latest
devices for ventilation. The seats are of
the Hale Kilburn pattern and are up
holstered in olive green plush. Each car
is equipped with wash bowl, water
tank and ice water tank both for men
andsswomen, and the baggage, as well as
the other cars, are lighted by gas. In
winter steam heat will be supplied to
the cars from the locomotive. In every
respect these new coaches are first class
and the Boston & Maine has spared no
expense, nor the Pullman company no
art which would add to the comfort of
passengers.

Got Even With Her.

A woman sold pig to butcher the
other day and he killed it on the prem
ises. Now it is superstition with some
butchers that to cut off pigs tail en-
sures the preservation of the meat, and
vice versa. The pigs little tail was cut
off. But the woman was on the watch.
She picked up the tail and gave it to the
butcher to be weighed, saying, II want
pay for the whole of him." But the
butcher got even with her. The reckon
ing came to half cent, probably be-
cause of the addition of the tail. She
wanted the half cent of course; she al
ways does. So the butcher placed cent
on the block, cut it in two with his
cleaver and gave her the half cent.

The Double Liability Question.
EDITOR of the Press:

To the EDITOR OF the Press:
Dear Sir.--Ihe article in the local col
umn of the Press this morning upon the
case now before the Law Court relating
10 the double Inability of stockholders
in Kansas corporations states but one
side of the case The gist of the matter
Ia well stated in the illustration
used in the article itself of
the Portland man who refused
to take stock in such corporation: at
was question of credit, and had the
Portland man taken the offered stock
for the use of his name it would have
given the company a good and certain
credit of 800, 000." This sounds very
much like the language of our Maine
Court in similar case CT the Camessvs. Brig
ham, 80 Me. IS, viz: "1,he defendant be
came q member of this corporation by
his own voluntary act Great and severe
losses would seem to have been suffered
by it's stockholders. If the speculation
had been successful the defendant would
Justly have been entitled to the rewards
of his enterprise. Neither the principles
of law nor of equity require that the
plaintiff (the creditor) should bear the
burtheI resulting from i'll advised or
badly managed schemes of public i'm
proyement to which he was not party
and from which he was to derive no
gains As between him and the defend
ant his equity is the greater and he is en-
titled to Judgment.

A Haunted Printer.

He never will do it again-this kind
hearted printer. He cast his bread upon
the waters and it returned again so vol
uminously that he would much prefer
that it hadn't. The old washerwoman
had told him her story of woe and asked
for assistance.
1t seems the old woman lives all alone
in a humble attic, and that she has a
17-year old granddaughter in theIindustri-
al,school at Hallowell. She is extremely
DESTROYS of getting possession of the
girl for various reasons. She asked the
printer to write a letter to the superin-
tendent of the school, but it proved of
no avail, and the old woman is very an
CRY. She is so mad that she comes into the
printing office periodically and relieves
herself by telling the whole story over
again to the printer. It is embarrassing
for him because everybody else laughs
at the spectacle of his periodic inunda-
ton by her steady torrent of brogue
which is suggestive of the victim of a
llOS0 pipC OSOoPO itS ooA OepAiA
of water. She has done it about dozen
times now. He has suggested lawyers,
police, detectives, anything to get rid of
her, but she never agrees with his adj
vice.
The last time after telling the story,
the old woman declared that she was
going to Hallowell and get the priest to
proclaim the situation to the congrega-
ton, all of whom would thenceforth in
terest themselves to secure the girl.
1t is devoutly to be hoped that the
girl will be left alone. There is no
manner of doubt that to come here to
the old woman would be disaster to
her. The girls own mother is in Jail
for child murder. and it would seem to
be just as we'll for the girl to kept away
| from her family.
