An interesting line Of inquiry in the police in
vestgation will be that relating to petty black
mail levied by the police ON merchants and
shopkeepers. Many cases have occurred in
which tradesmen have been subjected to in
cessaut annoyance until they paid for various
privileges involving the use Of the sidewalks,
after which they were free from molestation.

Of this persecution ready TO testify as to the
amounts paid by them. or have already made

future trouble should deter them from doing
all In their power to put an end to this practice

extension Of aid to those In need comes from
Mr.. Harvey Z. Fisk through President Low.

lovers of art will feel deep interest in

story are the spirited illustrations of
Frederic Remington, who easily ranks as
the foremost of all the artists who have
ever essayed military scenes. Anything
that shows the character of Abraham

terest. The article of Julien Gordon
upon Abraham Lincoln in His Relations

WEEKS MILLS.

WEEKS MILLS.
After waiting several years for someone
to take the matter in hand, with regard
to repairing the cemetery fence and
ground, the ladies Of our little village at
Weeks Mills decided to do something in
that direction. In accordance with that
idea, one morning in Sabbath school
lady gave notice that all interested in such
work were requested to meet at the Union
church, the ensuing Friday, and decide
on some method of procedure. At the ap-
pointed time, Sept. 2S, 10 ladies met and
associated themselves into society called
the Ladies' Cemetery Association, and
went to work to procure funds to carry ON
the work, each lady to solicit aid from
anyone at home or abroad owning lous or
having dear ones resting in the old church,
yard After two or three meetings every
one in the village became interested in
the work, and almost every person called
on personally or by letter respondt d
heartily to the call. The gentlemen rt-
solved that the grounds and fence in froI t
of the church needed repairing to compare
with the work being done by the ladies,
and they came forward and after build
ing an embankment in front of tie
church, placed thereon a nice fence similar
to the one around the cemetery. In the
meantime Mr.. Frank Plummer gave eyi-
dence of his interest in the last resting
place of his loved ones by furnishing lum-
Der and building some five or six rods of
fence north of his lot. On Nov. 30 the
available funds in the hands of.the treas
urcr We're s21, after having built As rods
of nice fence costing $50. The work was
placed in the hands of Mr.. John Plummer
to superintend, which he did in a very
creditable manner and to the evident
satisfaction of all interested. The ladies
intend to add to the funds already in the
treasury so that in the spring they can
have the fence painted. We would gladly
mention the names of all the donors but
space will not permit. We wish to extend
our thanks to all those who have so gener-
ously come to our aid in this good work
Per order Ladies' Cemetery Association.
The community was shocked, Tuesday
morning, to hear of the sudden death of
Franklin w. Percival, who died of heart
failure, aged about so years He was in
his usual health, Monday. Mr.. Percival
had always resided here and had until
within the past year been engaged in bust
ness here.

Considerable interest was manifested
by our business men in attending the
meeting of the board of trade, TUESDAY
evening, it proving to be the largest meet
ing of the board for long time, very
encouraging feature. President Walker
called the meeting to order with very en-
couraging remarks. A letter was read by
Sec. W. F. Studley from a manufacturing
firm. who at present employs from 800
to 400 hands, with pay roll of $3.50, 600,
and who desires, for certain reasons. 10
move its plant to some live town In Maine,
that is conveniently located on line OF
railroad The names of several other
manufacturing concerns were mentioned,
who desired to change from their present
locations. A special committee consist
ing of G co. L. Tyler, W. G.. Atkins and
W. A. Morse, was appointed to center
with manufacturers whom 1t was thought
possible could be induced to locate here.
No city in the State is more favorably
situated to offer encouragement to new IN
dustries than Gardiner, and our citizens
are awake to the fact that, with united
action, our industrial and business capa-
city can be largely increased. A lively
interest was taken in the animated debate
which followed, and among some OF the
necessary improvements suggested TO
facilitate the transportation OF our pro-
ducts was mentioned the idea of spur
of the Maine Central railroad to run to
the New Mills, which was brought to the
attention of our people some years ago.
This would not only be a benefit to our
present industries but tend to encourage
new ones to locate in our midst A COM
mittee consisting of Mayor Clason, Capt.
James Walker, president of the board OF
trade, f. f. Boston, F. W. Files and
Weston Lewis, was appointed to investi-
gate the question and report at the an
nual meeting in January.
