List OF Applicants.
The leaven Of reform is already beginning to
work in applications for appointment TO the
police force and candidates are circumspect in
describing themselves and stating their qualin-
cations. Heretofore they have been describing
themselves variOusly as clerks, barkeepers, and
truckmen. Now the designation "clerk" is
considered TOO vague. the noble art Of barkeep-
ing has fallen into temporary disrepute, and
truCkmsn are not regarded with favor under a
strict construction Of the civil service rules.

following; Michael O'HallOran. soldier; Joseph
McMahOn, farming; Bartholomew Reilly, tele-

PORTLAND, Dec. l3.-GreAt as undoubtedly Is
the quantity OF big game in Maine the real
spOrtsmen of the state are seriously alarmed
over what they describe as the terrible slaughter
OF moose and deer that has taken place this
season. The State was never before 50 full OF
hunters and never have they had suCh luck.
Forty deer have been brought intO Augusta
this season, and II is estimated that quite as
many have been brought into eve cry town ia the
state, while very great many have been
shipped away. All sorts Of wholesale and un-
spOrtsmanlike methods have been used I'm the
slaughter OF game, some Illegal and some
equally bad but not covered by the tame Laws.

is composed OF the leading spprtsnen OF the
state will sndeayOr 10 have the tame La~s
amended this winter. IL will AK that all

Sir John Thompson's family has been left al

II is said that $4,000 insurance. which the late
Premier had on his life. is all his widow will in
hert. Money had no attraction FOR the late
Premier although he had many opportunities
OF accumulatng wealth. Lady rhompson's
father was Mt one time very wealthy man, but

she can look for no assistance from that quarter,

you right now that you'll never get into the

That seemed to convince the Captain that he
had struck snaR, and he and dozen OF his
followers started to leave the room. Before go
ing out however, he had something to say
about gags and the election of the Republican
ticket, and then apoloRized for what he had
