and soldierly looking General Choate at its
head his right bower being the veteran Col.
Harrington, he of the still unerring eye and
unfailing nerve, despite the weight of

as any man who ever trod the soil

The Shaw-Diriso Business College.

The interest of the late r. B. Capen il
the Dirigo Business College, Augusta
has been purchased by F. L. Shaw of the
Shaw Business college, Portland, and will
on and after Monday, Sept. II, be run in
connection with the latter school.
The standing of the Shaw Business col
lege is too we'll known to call for any in.
dorsement from us. The record of 43e
students during the past year speaks fol
itself.
Prof. Shaw informs us that he will al
once introduce in the Dirigo all the features
which have rendered the Shaw Business
college so successful and at the same time
add many others to both. This is rendered
possible by reason of the fact that daily
business will be carried on between the two
schools, identical with that of any two large
business firms.
Walter F. Foss, who has been an
instructor in the Shaw Business college for
the past three years, will manage the
Augusta end Of the business. Under the
management of Mr.. Foss and the supervis.
ion of Prof. Shaw we bespeak for the
Dirigo Business college many years of sue
cess. Communications may be addressed
to Prof. Shaw, either at Portland OF
Augusta. a.

"THE NEW PAUL KAUvAR."

The stirring times of the French revolu-
ton are to be wildly portrayed at the Opera
house, Tuesday evening, Sept. Is. in Steele
Mackaye's master drama, 1.-THE New Paul
Kauvar." The plot is an uncommonly good
one, and the fearful extremes Of the reign
of terror furnish an abundance of exciting
scenes. The guillotine scene, where the
e1ecutioner brandishes the head of his last
victim, while another ascends the scaffold
amidst the cheering and yelling of the COL
lected mob, is veritable triumph of mod
ern realism, and is without doubt, the best
scene of the kind ever attempted on the
stage. The company selected by Mr.. Eu-
gene Robinson to present this play is said
to be an excellent one and special new
scenery and calcium light effects are
feature of the presentation.
Sale of seats will open, this morning, at
the Opera house cafe.

BLACK HOSE AND CORNS.
An Old Shoe Clerk Says Giving Up One Will
Help the Other.

"What I want" said / as | sat down in
a shoe store the other day and held out my
foot to the clerk, lis a shoe that won t
pinch my corn"
Yes, that's just what everybody says, "
replied the clerk, land tell everybody,
just as tell you, that we have just the
kind of shoe to make one forget his corns.
But can give you pointer that has al
most as much to do with corns as shoes
have" he went ON as he pulled off my
right shoe, land that is to take off those
black socks and never wear another pair
of that color, especially in warm weather F"
What in the world have black stock
ings got to do with corns?' asked.
"A lot, was the shoe clerks emphatic
answer II don't suppose black socks
really cause corns, but l do know that
they are great corn aggravators. I've been
In the shoe business long while, and
noticed years ago that 10 out of 90 Gus
toners who wore black stockings asked
for shoes that would be easy on corns. /
have asked great many about it, and
their testimony and my own experience
prove that black hose and corns are very
closely related.
I've never settled to my satisfaction
exactly why it is so, but l believe that
black socks retain the heat more than
other colors do, and think they also hold
moisture longer. You know black suit
of clothes is warmer than light colored
suit, and it's the same with hose.
"Giving up black socks won't cure your
corns, but il you'll take my advice and
wear some other color I'm sure the next

have been much less troublesome and your

FAMILY DIFFICULTIES
Al HaIIoweIl Likely 10 Come Before the Grand
Jury.

Trouble in the Currier family at Halo
we'll has become public property within the
last few days.
The particulars are not definitely known,
but it appears that Mr.. Alger Currier and
wife of Hallowell are endeavoring to have
the grand jury now in session take cogni-
zance of the trouble between them and
Samuel Currier, their uncie, whom they
charge with assault.
From what can be learned the difficulties
arose on account of property. 1t is under
stood that Samuel Currier, an uncle of
Alger Currier, has been trying to have his
mother, who is living with her grandson,
Alger, will her property to her other grand
children; that she had made such a will
and that she had since decided away the
property in such manner as to invalidate
the will.
1t also appears that Samuel Currier has
been to see his mother and found the door
locked and he unable to see her that he
took the city marshall of Hallowell up there
twice with him to get admittance, and that
the last time they did gain admission.
Thursday, Samuel Currier and another man
went up there, and according to report,
Currier, when he attempted to enter was
opposed by man who was there. Currier
appears to have disposed of this opposition
and entered to find, as the friends of
Samuel say, Alger Currier =, barring the
entrance to the old ladys room. Samuel
threw him aside. Then Mrs. Currier, wife
of Alger, interfered, and it is said that the
man with Samuel then took part and it is
claimed that he was roughly treated.
The compliments, Mr.. and Mrs. Alger
V. Currier, have also brought action of
trespass against the city marshal of Halo
well. They claim, it is understood, that the
only reason that they wished to prevent
Samuel from seeing his mother was because
she was unfit to see him.
1t is impossible to get all the details, as
both sides do not care to talk, bnt the above
is the gist of the reports which have leaked
out concerning the affair. All the parties
are prominent in that city, and Mr.. Alger
Currier, is the well-known artist.

The Wiscasset Echo says that the steam.
boat inspectors recently made inspection OF
the steamer Lizzie NJ. Snow and condemned
her as not being of sufficient capacity for
the work she was doing. This shortens up
the season somewhat for this new steam

showing for her owners than last year, by
some $500. In all probability larger and

THE PUSSY MAN.
He Doas Good Deal More Than He Thinks
to Spoil a Home.


to Spoil a Home.
If there is one thing a real womanly
woman despises more than another, it is a
fussy man. She can never overlook effem-
mate qualities in the other sex. Yet there
are certain little qualities of character
makeup not essentially masculine that go
such long way toward making her lot a
happier one. The helpful man need not
be Miss Nancy by any means because he
sees to putting away his clothes instead of
leaving them strewn about for his wife to
gather up. He is not one whit less manly
because he does not throw cigar ashes on
the floor, but puts them in the place al
lotted for such debris.
Some lords of creation, spoiled from boy
hood by mothers and sisters who waited on
them hand and foot, do not realize the
amount of unnecessary work they cause
their wives by habits of negligence so cas-
lily conquered if only they would think
little.
Few men can realize what a well kept,
pleasant home means to a wife, They can
not understand the genuine affection wom-
IN have for chairs and tables, and that a
scratch on one or a stain on the other is a
real wound to their feelings. OF course
men appreciate perfect ensemble, but so
few help their wives to keep up the stand
ard Comfort suggests putting up the
feet on the window stills. Up they go. Re-
sult-paints soiled and woodwork married;
wife naturally vexed. Comfort suggests
leaning back in n spindle legged chair, with
head resting on delicately tinted wall pa
per. The only wonder in this case is that
the result is not far more disastrous than
it usually is, and that the ease loving gen.
tlcman does not get much deserved tum-
bic. In IA dozen ways man unwittingly
adds to his wifo's labors, while tiny bit
of thought, which means no diminution of
his personal comfort, would so materially
augment hers. Easy going husbands,
who seldom think, begin to think now
