INTERESTING Equity CASE.
To Be Heard in the Supreme Court Here
Next Week.

An interesting equity case will be
heard here next week by one of the judg-
es of the Supreme Court. When Dr.
Edmund Russell, formerly mayor of
Lewiston, died he left his property in
trust to Albert Daggett, of Strong He
left widow and two sons. The will
provided that the trustees should furnish
money sufficient for the comfortable
support of the widow during ssher life,
and at her death the estate then remain
ing in the trustees hands should be
divided equally between the two SOUS.
Mrs. Russell low boards with her son
Edmund.in Pennington, while the other
son, Dana. lives in Lewiston. 1t is al
legged by Edmund and his mother that
the trustee does not pay over to her
moneySsufficient to satisfy her wants,
hence some time ago petition was pre-
sented to the Auburn probate court for
the removal of the trustee. This petit
ton was not granted. The same petition
has now been put into the form of a bill
in equity and there will be hearing
here next week. White & Carter, of
Lewiston, are counsel for petitioners and
for the trustee, J.C. Holman, of Farm
ington will appear.

We ENJOYED IT.

Yes, we mean the weather of
yesterday, strange as it may seem
1t is not often that a retail
merchant can endure a stormy
day, but we fairly dubbed over
with Joy from the basement to
the second floor. 1t was just
what we needed. Our store was
a sight to behold. You would
have thought that cyclone had
struck it, the goods in every de-
partment were SO scattered.
Then it was sort of a holiday for
our soverworked salesI people,
gave them an opportunity to re-
cuperate, and you'll find then
all with smiling faces this morn
ing. We have restored order on
every counter and shelf, and the
goods are just as tempting as
when taken out of the case. and
they ought.to be, for we never
saw finer lot. The only cheap
ness about this wholesale stock
is the prices, and certainly you
will not complain about that.

LoBsTERs TO NEW ORLEANS.
How Portland Firm Happen ed To Be
Sending 100 Pounds Week-First Sent
From Maine.

In the early part of last winter young
man who is clerk in a great provision
establishment in New Orleans, and who
wasyhorn in Portland. wrote to friend
here to the following effect; At the
Worlds Fair nine of the proprietors of the
business had seen or learned of the live
Holsters that are shipped to Chicago from
Portland, packed in ice and that have
even reached the Pacific coast alive and
in good condition.
He found that these Holsters were so
much more satisfactory than the few
hitherto shipped to New Orleans from
New York they having been handled
there after coming from Maine, that he
resolvedlto import Holsters directly from
Maine. Therefore he directed his clerk
to write to his friend in Portland to ask
him to recommend some lobster dealer
here. This friend recommended the firm
of W.T.. Studley, land $50 it came about
that they are now shipping 100 lbs. Of
live Holsters week, and have for sew
eral weeks, and did all last winter and
will during the coming winter.
They pack lbs. of Holsters in 100 lib.
box and fill in with about so lbs. of ice.
The Holsters arrive in New Orleans in a
very satisfactory condition. if they are
not delayed on the road In the summer
the hot weather in the South renders it
impossible to ship the Holsters. In SO
far as known these are the first Holsters
to be shipped to New Orleans direct from
Maine, or to any point south of Washing
ton.
If one Portland firm can ship to one
firm in one Southern city 100 lbs. of lob
stes week all winter it would seem as
if Maine Holsters might be shipped direct
from Portland, the great distributing
point, to many Southern cities, and all
the value of this direct business, with
ont a second profit for New York parties
would thus come to Portland dealers.
These Holsters cost the New Orleans
dealer, after freight charges are paid,
about II .or Is cents pound. They
must retail at about % cents pound.

Maine in this direction.

would cover the state we'll for beginning
in this state, and that earnest efforts will
be made to secure them within a few years.
VIM. H. Bryant. vice consul of Biddeford,

for improved highways. A road machine
and asphalt paving are some of the results.
He said it would be his endeavor to assist in

activity.

Live Pigeon Shooting.

Live pigeon shooting from traps will
never become generally popular in this
country, because it is doubtful if there
is any form of 50 called ''sport" which
offers so little amusement for so large a
price. 1t is cheaper to keep a saddle
horse and a pair of trotters the year
round than to indulge i'll pigeon shoot
ing to any great extent. The we'll known
pigeon clubs III the vicinity of New
York sell birds to their members for 35
cents apiece, and besides this cost the
sportsmen must pay for his cartridges,
fee the men who manipulate the traps
and provide himself with refreshments.
If bets are made-and there are many
who seek to recoup themselves in this
greater. In England and on the CONT
rent there are a great many men who are
said to make a good living out of pigeon
shooting by means of bets made on the
matches in which they take part them
selves, but here such a means of exist
enc would be looked upon as proca-
rious to say tho least.
The birds are supplied to the club
members at about their original cost,
but a certain profit is made through
their natural increase as well as by the
sale Of the dead birds at S1.20 a dozen
and by the returning Of those pigeons
which escape unhurt to the barn from
which they came. The number of pi-
geons killed during q brisk season at the
different clubs in the vicinity Of New
York is very large.-New York Sun

Washing Cotton Dresses.

If cotton dresses are properly made,
there is 10 reason why they should not
be washed many times. To make mp
sateens and ginghams with boned
basques, heavily lined skirts and velvet
bound edges is an absardity. Bodies
and skirts may be made together, belt
ing in by means Of a draw ribbon,
which, being loosened, reduces the
gown to straight lines without folds.
The frills and ~fiounces about the should.
ers are all set on draw ribbon headings
and can also be let out fat. The big
sleeves are supplied with an arnhole
set with d draw ribbon, by which it is
narrowed for wear and widened for
washing. Serpentine bodices are used
also for wash dress designs, these bod
Ices being practically two STRAIGHT sash
pieces. There are no bones. Lace, If
used on these gowns, is of good heavy
washable, really more to be used than
lace If ribbon is employed, it is made
into bows easily adjusted and removed,
or 1t is used under insertion Of lace or
embroidery, and SO can be pulled ont
when the gown goes to the tuh-Bos-
ton Courier.

Areccnt item in reference to the Rev.
John Brown. who has been pastor of {
Presbyterian church in Fall River,
Mass, for a5 years, and who will re
sign june /. sell his library. buy a tent
and preach tho gospel when and how
he pleases, renders timely a statement
of tho reasons leading to this resigna
ton.
The congregation Of Che Rev. join
Brown arc deeply gricyed at his depar
ture. The trouble arose through theil
devotion to him and their desire to pro
mote his comfort.
The parsonage had long been an eye
sore to the stylish and well to do people
Of the church. 1t was a tiny house, and
the pastors possessions hsd so far out
grown it that his bookshelves lined ever
tho halls and stairways. Still the pastor
would not move nor permit his people
to enlarge his house. Finally a wealthy
member of the chlrch, who had built q
large and beautiful home and theT
wearied Of it, presented his home TO the
parish, and now the parishioners insist
ed that their loved pastor should live
there. The result was that he resigned.
He gave his explanation on the day he
presented his resignation.
From my youth up l have had al
aversion 60 large houses. like to be
within touching distance Of my family.
/ like a sense Of fullness, of safety, il
a house. Nothing gives me such pleas

q resting place through all the rooms,
and that the plants must crowd each
other from the conservatory and bloom
in every window"
Then he related a part OF his life be-
fore unlnentioned.
While he was still in his teens his
father died. Reverses overlook the fam
lily, and finally the children decided tC
divide the family property and response
bilities. Two things came to him, his
mother and his mothers bedstead Tho

old and feeble, seemed no tax on his
youthful strength, bat the bedstead had
been the trial of his early years. Il

est prosperity. 1t was extra width ano
length, and the headboard possessed al
adjustable ornamental extension which
demanded q very high ceiling. Often il

was very limited, he had longed to live
