Portland Press: Mr.. Fred M. Plaisted of
Augusta, who was turned down at the Dem
ocratic State convention when he aspired to
be state committeeman from Kennebec, in
favor of Mr.. Bean, member of the Plum
Trust, doesn't appear to be inclined to take
his defeat quietly. In his paper, the New
Age, he shows pretty conclusively that his
defeat was the result of the pernicious &C.
tivity Of the Federal office holders of Ken
nebec. Mr.. Plaisted makes out good cause
for rebuke from the President, under his
civil service order, but that order, we sus-
pect, has fallen into state of innocuous
desuetude.

One seldom sees, nowadays. passenger
on street car ring the bell. We have
rather outgrown that state of existence.
The travel Is too great to admit of any
thing but system and discipline in hand
ling 1t. and the man who doesn't stop to
think out these things arrives at the same
conclusion by intuition: he leaves the
running of the car to the conductor. The
conductor has always resented any inter
ference with his entire control, and under
the newer conditions he is more and more
jealous of his rights, until now it is a
shock to him to see anybody touch the
bell. But passengers do occasionally.

We doubt if any educational institution

Al Vim, a GO-year-old colored man liz
ing at $500 South Broadway, submitted
to peculiar operation at the City hos
pital for peculiar ailment. 1t was the
cutting out of 1000 watermelon seeds
from his internal mechanism.
The old man had been in n watermelon
patch over in East st. Louis. He was en-
joying himself finely, when he was dis
turbed by the approach of some one. Seiz-
ing IA large, fine green melon, he "lit out. "
He soon realized, though, it would be i'm
possible To carry that melon very much
longer. If it was only on the inside, how
ever, it would be all right. With this
thought in his mind he began to throw
huge chunks of melon down his throat,
still running like deer. He didn't stop
to chew. He didn't even stop to spit out
the seeds Vim has a mouth like the
opening of "A coal mine, and everything
went" into its black depths, When the
old man concluded he was out of dan
ger he stopped running andiound that the
entire big melon was gone He did not
experience any particular Inconvenience
from his gigantic meal for couple OF
days. Then he had the "worstest' stom'
ach ache he ever had. He was doubled
up with horrible cramps for a day and
then came to the hospital. DIR. Marks cut
Vim open and got quart of seeds.-St
