AFTER THE ASSETS.
Holders of Paper of the Menage North
Western Guaranty Company Organize
for Self Protection.

Minneapolis dispatch says: A grand
coalition of all the holders of the STRAW"
paper of the Menage Northwestern Guaran-
ty Loan company, to fight their own interest
in the distribution of assets, is now almost
accomplished. The holders of the paper
are scattered all over the country, but
self-appointed committee has been pushing
the matter vigorously and successfully. II
is headed by G. G. Chapman of Portland
and S. Foster and Theo. King of Boston.
The incorporation of the creditors is to be
effected in Maine to avoid mourning liabiIi
ty, and, the paper is to be turned in fol
stock. This amounts to So, 400, 900, and the
capital is to be three million, or, if the
debenture shareholders are let in, six
million. The collateral behind this paper
is estimated to be worth IS per cent. A
united front is to be presented in the legal
battle over the assets, and the association
expects to realize handsomely. A blank
contract is now in process of circulation

In fact the Gold fish did Spill the Water.
Ii you put goldfish in vessel filed to the
brim with water, why won't the water over
flow?
This question was once discussed at length
by a learned society. One day plain, practi-
cal man made the experiment. He found, of
course. that the fish, like any other body dis
placed its weight in water. Thus we see the
danger of jumping at conclusions. 1t has been
thought that man who takes much open. air
exercise must eat meat and other solid foods.
But what If his stomac rebels against them?

In less than a month, while using Paskola,
Mr.. Collin gained 1-2 pounds. Beside
nourishing the body itself, Paskola assists in
the digestion of other foods

CAPE ELIZABETH.
More Burglars About,

A gang OF burglars. apparently anna
tours, are crea ting considerable uneasi
ness in South Portland. There is no
night Waterman OH duty after the last
ferryboat, neither are there any street
lights. Under such ideal conditions
the burglars can operate at leisure. Ap-
parently they spend their time practic-
ing on door locks. One or two barns,
securely locked at night, have been
foundsopen in the morning. An attempt
has been made to unlock the doors of
the house of Mr.. Clark b. Jewett, but
the attempt was not successful. One
other house was tried the same night
There has been a very bold case of
breaking and entering the house of Cap
tain Charles johnson, which took place
in the afternoon. Mrs. Johnsonwas out at
the time, and the burglar made very
thorough, search through the lower
part of the house. In his search for val
uables. he overturned things generally,
an even ripped open mattresses in his
search for concealed valuables.
Mrs. Johnson returned somewhat soon
er than the burglar expected, and found
that individual standing at the front
door, She describes him as being tall
man dressd iii light clothes and wearing
a large hat well pulled down in front.
When he saw Mrs. Johnson coming he
dashed off, and before Mrs. johnson
could give the alarm, made his escape.
Mrs. Charles Curtis, whose husband
was then out on fishing trip, woke up
in the night and found a man half way
into her chamber window. She screamed
and he drew back. The neigh ors made
an attempt to find the party bat failed.
The next day, a man who was on his
way home from fishing trip, was met
by man answering the same general
description given, of the burglar, and
was knocked down. He Showed fight,
and refused to give up his hard-earned
money, and when he found that he had
fight onihis hands the ould-b robber
made off, running at the top of his
speed. IL
The next attempt was made to enter
the house of Mr.. H. Gardner, where the.
burglar was observed trying to fit key
to the front door, and he was again
frightened off.
The following summer visitors are
among the new arrivals at Mrs. Mary
Young's on Preble street, South Port
land; Mr.and Mrs. ". Chase of Port
land Rev. A. E. Woodman, wife and son
of Lexington, Mass.

The Trouble Caused by Some Dangerous
Sugar P1ums.
Little Eleanor Schmidt, the two

is recovering from sickness of more
dangerous nature than the ordinary
childish complaints. Mrs. Schmidt has
been ill. and had in the house some
morphine pills, which the physician had
prescribed. On Wednesday little Flea
nor got possession of these pills in some
way ana, tempted by their resemblan CO
to sugar plums, ate of them. How many
she ate is unknown. When she was
found lying on the stairs nearly uncon-
scious, she was just able to tell the
affrighted family that she had been eat
ing "Mama's sugar plums" A portion
of one of the pills was found in her
mouth, and then it WAS realized that a
case of morphine poisoning had to be
dealt with. Dr.C ". Foster was sum-
moned hastily, and began the use of an
tidotes. By prompt and energetic work
the little girl was brought safely out of
the condition into which the dangerous
sugar plums had brought her.

EXCURSION DAY.
The Chautauquans' Day of Recreation
Above the Clouds.
Especial to the PRESS.)
Fryeburg, August 2.

"All work and no play
Makes Jack dull boy"
so the Chautauquans are hav-
ing day of recreation. An
excursion through the Notch and to
the summit of Mount Washington enters
into each years programme. These ex.
cursions have become SO popular that
this season it was thought best to have
Two. The next one will occur Friday,
August 10.
Last year the assembly met for the
last time upon borrowed property. Since
then the Maine Chautauqua Union have
purchased the grounds, and so now have
an abiding place of their own. They
have formed stock company, with a
capital of $4,000, at S. per share Every
Chautauou an is expected to own some
of this stock, which will payga dividend
of 100 per cent in benefits to all who at
tend the meetings of the assembly and
follow out the programme.
The grounds consist of 100 acres of
land, situated as has been already de-
scribed upon the banks of the ever gIid-
ing Saco, which Winds and doubles up
on itself as it II axes it's gentle way
throughsthe green intervales, perfect in
their beauty at this season, and hemmed
in by the everlasting hills. The grove
consists chiefly of naples and pines, al
though as the writer looks out from this
spot eight different Skinds of trees are
ground had been turfed and rolled, it is
SO level and green, no underhrush what
eer appearing, and the soil SIS SO sandy
that after a-heavy rain has fallen it is
dry Immediately. Nature made this
beautiful place for Chautauqua assem-
bly,, and we arelth ankful that for once
man has fallen in with Natures plan,
Wesexpect many newssssarrivals, for to-
morrow programme is a rich one. 1t
is to the &C. I. U. day and addresses are to
be delivered by Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens and
other distinguished Union women. and
Madame Layah Barakat Of India. In
the evening an illustrated lecture bv
Mr.. A. D. Fisk of New York city will be
given.
Mr.. Harry W. Kimball left this morning
for Old Orchard, where he will lecture
before the Ocean Park Chautauqua AS
semb1y, Saturday, on Christ in Great
City"
Interest and enthusiasm are always on
the increase. and the programme looks
as though the best of the wine had been
reserved for the last of the feast,
though hardly could we expect anything
to surpass what we have heard and
learned already.
This evening. John S. Barrows, art edi-
tor of the Boston Journal, native of
Fryeburg. gave talk on "The eighth
wonder of the world. The American
newspaper" He compared the newspa-
per of today with the wonders of the
world, as illustrating the nights of the
civilization, the great Improvements in
method and the means of making a
newspaper.

Orchardists are complaining of another
pest, kind of caterpillar called the
fall web worm. 1t is especially plenti-
full and runs over tree like fire, indeed
its Latin name means ground gamer.
1t does not eat the whole leaf, but only
the pulp, leaving the brown veins and
frame work of the leaves. The worms
have web over them which they move
RS they eat. About the only way to
get rid of them is to cut off the limbs
on which they feed.

The city council should keep cool re
garding these franchises. Every resi-
dent of Hot Springs would doubtless
like to have an electric street railway
covering just as much distance in the
city as any one can be induced to build.
and just as quick as any one will agree
to build it, and over those streets that
will accommodate the greatest number
of people. Councilman who encourage
and support a franchise covering these
features it seems to us will be working
in the interest of Hot Springs. The
town wants all it can get and as quick
Is it a get it; yet nothing but reason
able demands should be made; such as
will not kill all thoughts of construct
ing an electric street railway among
the projectors.

Comptroller Eckles appeared before
the house committee on banking the
other day and made Il very able dis
cussion of the money question. Moth
ing, he said, ought to be done by con-
gress looking to a change of the pres
ent banking system, unless the result
ant should be beneficial both to the
banks and to the public. The extent
of the banking interests of the country
represent in capital, s6S0,O0O,OOO; in
deposits, S3,4OO.OOO,OOO, and in deposit
ors about 100000. Such enormous
interests being involved, any new sys-
TEN to be inaugurated must at the out
set command the confidence of the peo-
pie. The national banking system now
in vogue might be said to be a national
habit. Most of those who made use of
it know little Or nothing of other sys-
TENS. Therefore nothing in the pres
ent system should he altered unless it
could be improved upon to the promo
ton of the business interests of the
people.

Some Railroad Rumors.

We hear on very good authority that
the b. 4 M. contemplates some great
and important changes in the running
of trains in the near future. 1t is said
the train coming east from Billings
will leave there at Z o'clock p. M; ar
irving in Edgemont in time for break
fast next morning. The train east
from Deadwood will leave there so as
to arrive in Edgemont andHot Springs
in time for breakfast. The time will be
shortened II hours between Billings
and Edgemont and the through train
will take supper in Ravenna, making
the sand hills by daylight for the first
time in the history of the road. One
a see the great saving of time, and as
the Northwestern has made arrange
ments for the B. & NJ. to handle their
coast passengers, to connect with the
flyer on the Northern Pacific, the
amount of business will be large. The
two miles of side track recently built
at Billings were filled with loaded cars
within II hours after it was completed
and they haven't enough motive power
to move them.

A Washington correspondent says
that he hears more talk for Senator
Allison, as the republican nominee for
president, than for Reed, Harrison or
Mckinley. The correspondent says:
Senator Allison is certainly one of
the most interesting men in the senate.
He is Il remarkable man intellectually,
although his talents are rather of the
legislative than the executive order.
and his temperament is that of a com
promiser rather than of Il fighter. His
long service in congress, especially in
the senate, which has enriched him
with so much knowledge of men and
measures, has, of course, developed the
qualities of a diplomatist until he has
become one of those influential men
who get about what they want in con-
gress, no matter what party happens to
he in power.
With such an opinion from the far
east regarding the man whom the west
would like to have president, and with
that sentiment constantly growing and
spreading, there is a strong probability
of his being the nominee.
