speed much higher than any thus far

BANGOR, Me-, Jan. 9,-In the municipal
court Judge L. b. Waldron of Dexter an
swered to the charge of assault preferred
against him by Landlord Morrill, Jordan
of the Dexter House. He pleaded not
guilty. Jordan testified that the week
before the assault Judge Waldron met
him in Dexter and without cause abused
him shamefully in language neither legal
nor decent. He had never circulated
stories concerning Wnldron's family af-
fairs and never said the judge was the
cause of his wifes death. The assault
took place Tuesday at 730 a. m, at the
Maine Central depot In Dexter. Judge
Waldron felled him. then kicked him
twice, saying: Damn him; viii take his
life's blood; will kill him" Counsel for
Judge Waldron will attempt to show just
provocation for the assault. Dozens of
witnesses will be called. The case was
continued until witnesses may be secured.

The Distress widespread.

Mr.. Freeman said that the organization
of associated charities had found that
they were unable to cope with the distress
and suffering and had adopted resolu-
tion urging the city council to make an
appropriation and provide employment
for the poor and needy. The money that
is paid for this labor goes into circulation
for rent, fuel and the necessaries OF life.
lie had met many taxpayers in his work
for all Of the charitable societies, and
not one OF them had objected TO an ap-
preparation by the city government. From
a business standpoint this measure ought
10 pass.
Mr.. Ira winsor thought that charity
ought to begin at home. Said he: We
are getting all we are worth. Let us make
up purse OF $1,000 or 5000 and will give
$50 myself. Let Us put our hands in our
pockets. There has been plenty OF wind
and u u bad on an empty stomach"
Mr.. sarkhurst called attention TO the
fact that the bill appropriating 100000
must first be amended by substituting
$1,000 a. s25. 900 had been given TO Black

by the preceding speaker. 1t Is p duty.
A duty that comes with an
obligation. 1t is duty which the state
has zealously guarded and which had the
foundation in the filling in OF the cove
during the panic of 1857 and in the Brook
street district. Let us take this as mat
ter OF business and forget our party feel
ings for the time, thinking only of the
poor man whose bread and butter depends
upon our decision"
Mr.. Waterman stated that IL ac-
tion was not taken upon the matter inn
mediately the whole thing would fall
through, and made stout appeal for the
poor man, saying that he employed work
men who did not earn but small per-
centage of the wages paid them, and yet
he believed that it was better to give them
employment than to discharge them and
let them become dependent upon the city
or the cold charity OF the world.
Not I'm the Sympathetic Business.
Mr.. Vaughan said that the council was
not here principally in the sympathetic
business. When the legislature autho-
rized the appropriation of 1900, 900 no part
of that sum was to be devoted TO chari-
table purposes. II is hardly fair to de-
vote the money to such purpose
when the park commissioners say that
the city would not derive 80 cents
worth Of benefit from the expenditure of
81 per day, The commissioner of public
works had also made the same statement
to the finance committee. He would ad-
vocate an appropriation for the relief OF
the poor, but as a business proposition he
did not think that the city council had
any right to vote away any part of the
money for park improvement for
charitable purposes. The pond
had been drawn down and in this weather
the bed was frozen so that no shoveling
could be- done. The sand banks are SO far
away from the streets that are TO be
graded that carts would have to be used
To draw it. Wheelbarrows could not be
utilized.
Mr.. Parkhurst took occasion to say that
the council had placed itself in ridicu-
lous position in having repeatedly voted
for the employment OF the poor at the
parks on representation that the plan was
feasible and work could be given to sew
eral hundred men. Now il appeared inn
practicable. lie believed originally that

rate there beyond what It has been for sew.
eral years. Undoubtedly, the emigration
Of young men from European countries has
also reduced the number Of marriages.
In this country, and this city particularly,
the present marriage rate Is high, and IL
will be higher rs the average prosperity in
creases after this long period Of industrial
stagnation. When IL has declined, the fall
ing of has been due to the inability of null
titudes to get married because Of pecuniary
restraints rather than because Of any dis
inclination TO set M families. They have
not abandoned the hope and the intention of
marrying, but have only put off the wedding
day from the force Of circumstances I'm
doubtedly there exists amonga small number
Of men in all countries a selfish or a finical
indisposition to marriage; but these are so
few that they may he dismissed from con-
sideration as entirely unrepresentative of
the general sentiment. The great mass Of
unmarried men and women in every com
munity are DESTROYS OF marrying, and they
will marry. The sentiment which Gre
ates the family is as powerful and
as prevalent now as It ever was.
Even the divorced usually get their divorces
in the hope or with the certainty OF
marrying again. They are more likely to
marry than other people, If they can get the
chance. They have 10 quarrel with
matrimony, but only with particular mates
with whom they could not get along.
Bishop POTTER, therefore, spoke inconsid-
erately to the Diocesan Convention, so far as
concerns the popularity Of the institution of
the family; but his point that the improve
ment of society must come from the i'm
provement of the individuals who constitute
1t is unquestionably sound, and it is per-
tinent. He was also wise in cautioning his
clergy against the prevalent disposition
to hold the existing organization of
society responsible for evils n in
CAPABILITIES in~separable from human nature,
and to exaggerate the hardships of
present social conditions, thus stimu-
latinR dangerous and irremediable discon-
tent. The situation Of the mass Of the
people has improved, and not d~eteriorated.
They are getting higher wages over all the
world, and their money buys more. But
the more they have the more they want,
for the advancement of society,
would cease IL there were universal
contentment with things as they are. Mean
time the Christian sentiment Of humanity
is stronger and more pervasive than ever.
Bishop PoTTER's warning was the more
needful because a pernicious socialistic
philosophy has affected even the clergy, and
accordance with 1t some of them are really
,riticising the government of GoD or finding
'ault with human conditions produced by
he operation Of Interchangeable laws of the
