Having first perfected myself by study
of the eye and its need /; and further by q
scientific study in the use OF the latest
and most approved instruments for the
testing Of the eye; am ready to fit your
eyes with proper Glasses, correcting ALL
ERRORS OF REFRACTION, whether
simply NEAR or FAR sight, or the more
complicated SIMPLE or COMPOUND
ASTIGMsTISM from which so mauv
patients suffer, ami which few Opticians
TREAT.
l feel that the public will appreciate
the above announcement as it has been
felt want here for years.
My intention is to give OF les large
share OF my attention, and each case
separately conscientious time and study,
SO that the wearing of Glasses will do
what they are intended for, relieve the
strain, and not to tire the eye.
Please bear in mind that there is NO
CHARGE for testing the eye, and that
my prices for all Glasses are the same as
in the States.

Delegate Smith, from No. 2 En-
CINE Co., informed the board that
his company had instructed him
to lay before the board a grievance
in which it was claimed that at
special meeting held in December
four new members were elected
contrary to the laws of the depart
ment. After much discussion the
chief was empowered to appoint a
committee of three to investigate
the matter and report to the next
meeting of the board. Messrs.
Norton, Chang Kim and Second
Assistant-Foreman David Kala-
waia were named as the committee.
It will be remembered that at
the last meeting of the Board a
minority report of the committee
appointed to investigate the charge
of incempetency against Fire Mar
shall Neil was filed, generating
that official. On motion the re-
port was laid over for month to
await the majority report, but it
was announced last evening that
the second report was in the hands
of j. D. McVeigh, who is at present
at the quarantine station in the
employ of the Board of Health.
On motion, the matter was laid
over for another month.
THE ANNUAL PARADE.
The most important question dis
cussed was something which is
dear to the heart of the firemen-
the annual parade.
Foreman More of No. Engine
was not in favor of holding a
parade this year, and thought the
different companies could not stand
the expense of the affair. He was
followed by the Chief and Mr..
Boyd who both spoke in the same
strain. After several votes on the
question had been taken it was de-
cided to hold the annual parade by
a vote of 9 in favor and 5 against.
The parade was to take place on
Friday, February Sd, the day usu-
ally set apart for the parade but
on motion of Foreman Widemann
of No. 2 Engine, the following day,
Saturday was finally settled on as
the day and 2 o'clock in the after
noon as the time.
This matter disposed of Chief
Engineer Asch announced that
dating from the first day of the
present month the salaries of the
drivers of No. and No. 2 Engines
would be increased from $50 to
SO. He remarked that the men
had to be on constant duty and
their present pay was hardly
enough for the labor furnished.
The Chief was greeted with hearty
applause.
Mr.. Aseh had another surprise in
store, and it was for the allowance
Of telephone to be placed in the
homes of each foreman of the diff
terent companies, the expense to be
borne by the department.
The chief IS attention was called
to the present meagre salaries OF
the engineers, and hereafter they
will receive $40 month instead
of $35.
After appointing a committee
consisting of Chief Engineer Asch
Carl Widemann and Chang Kim
to solicit subscriptions towards de.
fraylng the expenses of the parade
the meeting adjourned.

A list of bills amounting to
$5024.S2, which covered the period
for the past five months, ending
December 81, 1892, was ordered
paid.

REFUSED ANEW TRIAL.
Carlyle Harris, the wife Murderer, Gets
No Help from Recorder smyth.

NEW YORK, March 16.-A large crowd
gathered in the General Sessions Court
room this morning in expectation Of
hearing Recorder Smyth announce his
decision on the application Of a new trial
in the case ofCarlyle Harris, the medical
student under sentence of death for the
murder and poison of his wife, Helen
Potts Harris. The recorder denied a
new trial for the defendant.
The decision takes up 50 pages of legal
cap. 1t concludes: Careful examine
ton of all the facts and circumstances
established upon the trial of this cause,
as well as Of additional facts which have
been presented upon this motion by
way of newly discovered evidence, leads
me to the conclusion that II tho defense
had produce the SO called newly disucv-
cred evidence as could be legally admfn-
ted upon the trial, 1t would not have
changed the verdict thai was rendered
against him."

FROM HAWAII.
Intrigues and Counter-Intrigues Going on
in the Islands.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.-Steamer
Alameda arrived from Sydney, via Hon.
olulu, today, bringing advices from the
latter place up to March 8. Minister
Stevens is of the opinion that a popular
vote on the question of annexation taken
in the islands would be useless. He
says. with the exception of the rowdy
element and few interested persons of
prominence, there is no strong feeling
against annexation. President Dole SAYS
he has no reason to believe annexation
will not come, even though 1t be defer
red. The present unsettled state of af-
fairs affects business, and is strengthen
ing the royalists in opposition. A num-
Der of secret meetings have been held by
the royalists, at which various measures
for lettering their position have been
discussed. 1t has been proposed that
representations be made to the English
government in view of the apparent an
tipathy to action by the United States.
The retention in Office OF A. s. Cleghorne
the father of Princess Kaiulaui, as col
lector OF customs, and several appoint
ments, have caused some dissatisfaction
among some Of the supporters of the
government.
The Hawaiian patriotic league for
warded by steamer Alameda . telegram
to President Cleveland dated March O.:
Greetings: Hawaiian Patriotic League
Of National Associations hope for justice
and that Investigation will be made here
before decision az to annexation.

United States Minister Stevens denies
the charge thst no precipitated the revo-
luton. He says in taking the course he
did he was simply following the policy
specifically laid down under Secretary
Bayard for just such contingency and
which has been the logical policy Of the
United States. He thinks the sugar plan
tations can be put to moro profitable use
in raising other crops or manufacturing.
The British minister, Mr.. Woodhouse,
up to March7, has received no late In
structions from his government. He con-
tends 1t will be only an act Of fairness to
take a plebiscite on the matter Of annex
alton BY the United States.
Mr.. Woodbury. sent note to the pro-
vincial government protesting, it's stated,
against any disfranchisement of the
natives. President Dole in reply asked
thk British minister to furnish precedents
when Great Britain, in any case of annex
alton of any foreign territory in the
Pacific. had granted suffrage.
The Liberal, Robt. Wilcox's journal,
says the people Of every class are now
looking to annexation as remedy for
present evils. The natives are becoming
Impatient for annexation, that is. all that
are convinced there is no hope for the
monarchy. II any obstacles should delay
the contamination Of negotiations at
Washington Hawaii would be in q
worse situation than over.

The State Printing.

The state printing and binding will
probably be done as heretofore by Bur-
leigh & Flynt and Smith and Reid, the
House this afternoon accepting the re-
port of the committee without debate.
The report has been on the table for
some time. The Portland firms whose
bids were lower than those accepted, as
in previous years have had their labor
for their pains.
A bill has been reported by the Cum
berland county delegation to fix the sal
airy of the county attorney at $1,000. To-
day Mr.. Churchill of Raymond, moved
the indefinite postponement of the bill,
but the House on motion of Mr.. Wood
bury of Deering, placed the bill on the
table instead.
Mr.. Morrill, of Portland, introduced bill
this morning to amend the statute so that
the inspection and handling of shingles
may now be done on agreement between
seller and purchaser or shall be done
upon request Of the purchaser.
Daniel Cote, Esq, and L. 3. Walker,
Esq, of .Biddeford, are among the DEM
ocrats who are here opposing the police
bill. Mr.. Cote, who was member Of
the last House has met many old friends.
The committee will recommend an APP
preparation Of 1880 for the observance
of Maine Day, May oath, at the Worlds
Fair. The $500 is Intended to provide
for the representation of the state by the
governor and staff. This Is additional
to the $1,000 for the dedication exercises,
etc.
The woman suffrage question assigned
for today in the House went over with
out action.
An attempt to amend the bill relating
to the state library by reducing the sala-
ry of the librarian from $500 as fixed In
the bill, to $1,000 was defeated in the
House today.

CRITICISM FROM MAINE.
Elk warded Rice. OF the Maine Stats
Prison Talks.

BosToN, March 16.--Ex-W Warden Rice.
Of the Maine state prison was before the
senate prison investigating committee
today. He criticised the system of per-
shitting prisoners to communicate with
each other. He thought the number of
prisoners at Charlestown too large and
unwieldy for the force Of officers there,
and was Of the opinion that two prisons
would be much better than one, though
incorrigibles as recommended By the
government and prison board. 1.-THE on
II way to maintain discipline" said he,
lis either to give prisoners constant en-
ployment or keep them in solitary con-
finement. I believe the former ID moro
humane to the prisoners. and more scon-
omicAl to the sbste.''
