ton in about 1885. 1t is composed of

OBITUARY..
Henry Paine.

Boston, December 26.-Henry Paine,
the eminent lawyer, died at his residence
in Cam bridge this morning. He was
born in Winslow, Me-, August 30, 1901.
and graduated at Waterville college, new
Colby University, in 1880. He was a
tutor in the college for year and later
entered the Harvard Law school at
Harvard. He was admitted to the bar
in 1884 and began practice at Hallowell,
Me. In 1887 and 1858 he represented the
town of Halloweli in the Maine leglsla-
ttire, and was for five years the attorney
of Kennebec county. In 1854 he went to
Cam bridge and opened law office in
Boston. For twenty years there was
hardly one OF his contemporaries who
was engaged in as many or more import
amt law suits, and he probably argued
more cases to juries, both upon the civil
and criminal sides of the court than any
other member of the bar, his success in
gaining verdicts being such as but few
advocates have surpassed. His written
opinions upon complicated cases and his
services as referee or master in chancery
were in constant demand. He held the
lectureship upon the law of real property
in the Boston University law school
from its esta blishment to 1888. For
many years he had larger number Of
students in his office than could be
found in any other in the city. He
always was averse to holding office and
declined a seat in the United States
Senate. Before he came to Boston. he
was repeatedly offered position on the
Maine Supreme bench and ia 1867 was
offered the chief justiceship of Massa-
chusetts, but declined it. In 1868 and
1864, he was the unsuccessful Democratic
candidate for governor, the nomination
being made without his consent and he
accepting it with extreme reluctance.
The interests intrusted to him were
many and varied, but his charges for
services always moderate. He retired
from practice in 1856. and he has since
done practically no business. In 1884 he
received the degree of LII. D. from Colby
university.

PENNOYER's CHRISTMAS.
The Oregon Governors Latest Is an APP
peal to the President.

Portland, Oregon, December 26.-Gov-
ernor Pennoyer yesterday addressed a
letter to President Cleveland, in which
he says:
"The extraordinary circumstances
which greet the return of this holiday
must be my excuse for writing you. To-
dag is the first Christmas in the history
of Oregon when more than two-thirds of
its people are without employment, and
more than one-third without sufficient
means of support. Business is almost
completely stagnated. Redress, how
ever, is not in our hands but in yours,
and hence this appeal to you.
1.-THE laws of Congress, which have
Disseminated against silver and made
gold alone the full legal tender money,
giving to money lenders. the privilege OF
refusing both silver dollars and silver
certificates. thus rendering unavailable
more than half the national currency as
absolute debt-paying money, are the sole
causes of the decline of values, paraly-
sis to business, and the consequent i'm
poverishment of the great army of wage
earners and of the impending starvation
to their wives and children.
IF, when you stood upon the eastern
portieo on March A, you had announced
to the people that you would speedily
convene Congress in extra session to car
by. out the pledges of the platform TO
which you gave your assent, and upon
which you were elected, which declared
for the use of both gold and silver az
standard money, without discrimination
against either metal the widespread no
ytilsion Of business which has diminished
the value of the property of thenatioa
| by fully one-half, would never have oc-
Cured; and if now you would give such
advice to Congress, a further downward
| tendency would be checked, and with
! favorable congressional legislation, bust
! ness would again revive and prosperity
| would again visit our land.
why should you not do so? 1t is
honorable to carry out the pledges of the
| dishonorable not to do so? The respon.
sibility lies entirely with you. The COM
plete obedience of the lower house OF
Congress to your wishes has been OBJ
| served throughout the world. 1t would
| obey your behests, and in this the Senate
would give you support.
| You are father, and you no doubt
feel grateful to God when you, upon re-
firing to rest, look upon your sleeping
babes in their couches, pictures of health
consequent upon their having a suficien
cy of food and clothing. l pray you
however, to enlarge the scope of youl
vision and behold, you can, in many
and many a cot, children as much be-
loved by their parents as yours, weakl,
| and. sickIy from insufficient food and
/ clothing, innocent victims of vicious
financial legislation. whose sleeping
forms are bathed by scalding tears o.
| mothers bending over them in sorrow ane
despair, and then resolve, as you should
to faithfully carry out the pledges which
your party gave to the confiding people
If you will dose, God will bless you ano
a grateful nation will applaud you.

A Skowheaan despatch to the Lewiston
Journal says, the fact that an indict-
ment has been found by the grand jury
against the dry goods firm of l.. H. Soper
& Co., of Watervilie has created mild
sensation. Action against them has been
brought under the new law relating to
it interant vendors. Last fall Soper &
Co. packed up stock Of goods and sent
a salesman with the stock. to several
large towns in this,section. In Skowhe-
gan and Norridgewock the goods were
put in store fo- a week or so and a
mark down sale was carried on to the
discomforture of many of the local mer-
chants. The existence of new law did
not occur to the traders in either of these
towns and Soper & Co. were not asked
to exhibit their licenses. In Madison,
however, a shrewd business man whose
trade was being affecred, called the turn

odd kind of smuggling is carried on
in this colntry, which consists of the

Italians in the United States. They
come in small bags, and are easily dis

are equivalent to duties.
