Changes in Court Procedure.

It is understood that some members of
the bar are quietly talking up some
changes they would like to see made in
the courts. For example, they think it
would be well to adopt the system that
obtains in Massachusetts and several
other states, and have three judges sit in
life case. They also favor system of
superior courts for the entire state to
take some of the work now performed
by the justices of the supreme court.
The superior judges they would have go
on circuits, as the justices of the supreme
court do now. 1t is argued that if a
judge goes on year after year listening to
a certain class of criminal cases, he comes
at last to know every one of the respond
ents, and when hearing particular case
he is led to think of other cases against
the same party in the past. 1t is said
that at the next session of the legislature
this matter will be presented, and the
making of these and other changes urged

A Benefit to the Young Men.

Mr.. Cyrus H. Kilby, of.thisscity has
been commissioner by the Most Emil
nent Archon, of Massachusetts to obtain
applications for a charter to constitute a
| conclave of the Order of "Heptasoph" or
Seven Wise Men. The term Heptasoph
is derived from the Greek Hepta-seven,
and sophos-wise, and now adopted be-
cause of the higher excellence impressed
upon the Order by the Hellenic mind.
1t is an ancient, secret, fraternal bene-
fetal order, governed by the same general
rules and usages as the Masonic, odd
Fellows and kindred orders. 1t is not a
"wild catn or three years endowment Or
der. It is a legally incorporated body
under the Laws of Massachusetts,. Any
person to become member must be a
white male, eighteen years of age and
upwards, of good moral character, sound,
mentally and physically, a believer in
the Supreme Being, and sign his own
application for membership.
The order was introduced into the
United States April 6, 1S52-nine years
after the establishment of Odd Fellow
ship in America.
The advantages are given to young men
under 81 years of age to unite with their
fathers and older brothers in an associa-
ton where they can be benefited socially,
intellectually and pecuniarily in school
of instruction in Parliamentary practice
and the incubation of the principles of
Wisdom, Truth and Benevolence.
Mr. Kilby will introduce the matter to
all persons possessing the requisite quail
fcations for membership.

THE WORLDS FAIR
Criticised BY Col. BangsEof Augusta and
f. A. Smith of Portland.

A despatch from Belfast says that at
the meeting of the State Board of Trade,
during lull in the proceedings Thurs
day, there was quite lively time for a
few moments.
Col. A. S. Bangs of Augusta said he
feared he should say something that
would not meet with approval, and then
proceeded to sscriticise the Worlds Fair
He said that it was a great monopoly and
was direct injury to the business of the
country, that it had drawn thousands of
dollars from Maine and no adequate re-
turn would result; that it had upset the
business relations of the whole country,
and that itshad in way assisted greatly
in producing the financial depression. !
Mr.. F. A. Smith of Portland continued
the arraignment of the fair. He said
that the fair was really detrimental to
Maine and would be the cause of direct
loss to the majority of the exhibitors;
that Gen. Mattocks had told him that
one party had offered to take down the
Maine building at the close of the fair in
return for the gift of the material but
that the offer had not been taken up
quickly enough and that therefore some
one must be paid to take it down. Mr.
Smith then went on to say that while he
was at the fair he felt as though he was
among a company of bankrupts; that
the hotel at hich he and Col. John NJ.
Adams had stopped in Chicago chad
failed the week after they went away"
Then Mr. Smith went on to say that the
Baker Extract company had fallen into
the unwholesome rivalry of business con-
Germs and at its expense, in order to ad-
vertise, chad sent 40 young men on a 10
days trip to the Fair"
sDid this firm do that?" suddenly
broke in President Lord.
Eyes, sir. they did,
s'Then they were doing mighty good
work." said the president, and he got
down out of his chair and defended the
Worlds Fair in very rafting way.
Then J. F. Goldthwaite of Biddeford
argued for the show, Hon. John L. Crosby
of Bangor said good word for it and E.
B. Winslow said several good words. Mr..
Winslow pointed out through the win
dow at a gilt eagle that was staring
blankly in at the State Board in session,
and said that he could see the eagle al
most tremble while Col. Bangs was
speaking; that he fairly expected to see
the old bird walk in, take the president S
chair and denounce the bold orator from
Augusta.
This discussion was the event of the
day. 1t woke up the assemblage. 1t fur
nished food for discussion in the hotel
corridors all the evening and when all
was over in the meeting Col. Bangs arose
demurely and said:
ssIf have started all these bright say
ings, brought the president out OF his
chair and made the American eagle trem-
