A NEW LEAF TO Be TURNED,

On February rst my

carded and business
done for cash or

This will be far bet
ter for my customers
and myself. When
all buy for cash no
one pays for the bad
debts of his neighbor.
When all pay cash |
can sell goods from
five to ten per cent
cheaper. This is a
plain, simple business
proposition. No man
who thinks a mo-
ment will doubt it.
In nearly all business

ed by the bad paying

not all pay cash and

My stock will be re-

at the lowest possible
figure.
Leave your orders

The General Idea of a Fire Alarm

Far be it from the New DOMINION
to say word derogatory of the fire
company nor of the efficiency of its
members, but some of the members
have insisted that the alarm given
which was quite justly criticised in
this paper last week was not regu-
lar fire alarm, and that the citizens
had no cause to be excited because
it was sounded. 1t may not have
been fire alarm, but it is too finely
trained an ear which could distin-
guish the difference, unless it be a
member of the company The citi-
zens here will continue to think that
the strokes of bell in rapid success
sion constitute fire alarm. Strictly
speaking they do. We all have been
reared in that way of thinking. If
that sort of ringing is not, to the
company, an alarm of fire, then it is
the company's duty to inaugurate it
as an alarm of fire, for the people
want to know when there is an alarm
and they don't want an alarm unless
there is fire. What the fire com
pany may consider an alarm of fire
is not general information. The fire
company is all right, but it's duty is
to have some means of calling
its meetings other than ringing the
bell in alarminply rapid succession.

No love between these two was lost,

Hiram T. Whitehouse) and Lady McBan-
mister, impersonated by Mr.. Herbert S.
Hannaford. Lady McBannister is strong
minded, member of the Woman's Liter
ary Union, and rules the household with
an undisputed sway. Sir Rawdon pre-
tends to be great despot whenever she
is not present; but when she asserts her
authority he always yields. Besides

feature here, was when the doctor poured
out the liquid fire and managed to ex-
tinguish it, the Taper sounding the "all
out" Messrs. Whitehouse and Orr, the
former especially by his singing and the
latter by his dancing, got vigorous
encore in the third act for their song and
dance, the O'Brannigan. Mr.. Eaton and
Mr.. Harry Davis were respectively
amusing as Miss Harriet Beacon, tne
governess, and DR.. Empirico, the teacher.
Messrs. Mitchell and Talbot as the
ruffians created roars of laughter partl-
cularly in the act where they introduce
the menagerie in which "Patsey" Ialpot
plays a star part The bear, Mr.. James
Rafters, must not be forgotten for ne was
one of the "best little bears" we ever saw
on any stage. There were showers OF puns
and lots of good music-the Nothing
to speak of quartette being enthusiasm
cally encored several times. all the
specialties were redemanded.
But from an artistic standpoint, and
speakine critically, the two great
features of the extravaganza-good as
everything in it was last nighJ-were the
ballet and the Amazonian drill. Mr.. IT.
wing E. Rice, the captain of the Amazons,
looked the character to the life, carried
it out 20 perfection and was presented
magnificent floral tribute. The drill was
most effective and the shifting calcium
lights made the scene one of beauty to
he long remembered Of course It had
to be repeated. Then we do not believe
that ballet composed of men made
ND as women, was ever any better IT as
good, as that of last night. Mr.. James
| Dixon looked the character and danced
with all the lightness of fairy. The
corps de ballet were remarkably good
looking and graceful, and we may be
pardoned if we especially refer to Mr..
| Allen Wilson, one of their number, as so
| deceptive in appearance that few could
| believe he was a man. The little diver
| tisement between Messrs. Nathan Clifford
| and Frank Pierce was admirably done.
All of these features were encored with
a perfect storm of applause.
A delightful feature of the evening
was the ladies appearing either without
hats or in small close bonnets. Everyone
was thus enabled to see perfectly. 1t is
to be hoped the same rule will hold good
both tonight and tomorrow.

Thursday.-In the case of Daniel Cres-

cover damages for injuries to barge,
horse and harness by reason of defect
in the highway, a report of which we
gave yesterday, the jury rendered YER

not necessary. Plaintiff filed mo-

the verdict is against the evidence.

This is Yarmouth case. The plaintiff
occupied a tenement in the same house
with the defendant. The plaintiff leased
his tenement of Widow Roberts, who
had that part set out to her as dover in
her husbands estate by the probate
court. The defendant owned the bal
ance of the real estate. The plaintiff
claims that there was trouble between
the defendant and Widow Roberts, and
the defendant committed certain acts OF
trespass in order to freeze out the plain
tiff, thereby injuring the Widow Rob-
erts's right of dover.
The defendant claimed that he die
nothing but what he had perfect.right
to do; that there was no infringement OF
the rights of Widow Roberts or of those
who claim under her. The amount in
volved was small, and during the inter
mission, while the jury was out, the
counsel, under the advice of the court
agreed upon an amicable settlement o.

OBJECTED TO CHURCH suPPERs.
why Calais Clergyman Was Arrested
and Taken to Jail.

The Bangor News reports great excite
ment at Calais over the arrest of Rev.
Mr.. Fuller of the Methodist church there.
Mr.. Fuller has strong objections to
church suppers and festivals, claiming
that they are not moral or religious and
cannot be supported by Scriptural evil
dence as means of carrying on church
work.
He was notified recently that the
Ladies' Aid Society would occupy the
vestry Wednesday evening for. a public
supper. Rev. Fuller notified the
janitor not to open the vestry for the
supper. The trustees were notified and
put in an appearance, and the minister
attempted to prevent the trustees from
entering the building, but police officers
were led in and they carried Fuller off
to Jail.
Rev. Mr.. Fuller was afterwards adj
mitted to bail and removed to his home.
One of the trustees claims that the
reverend gentleman is insane.
Last August the trustees asked him to
resign, but he commended that having
been appointed to the Calais circuit by
the East Maine conference, and having
assumed charge, church is supposed to
stand by the appointment OF the confer
ence.

and at once consult together as to the
best way of evading their fate. They
finally decide to try fattery, telling the
toughs that they look like actors and

crossing on Forest avenue, the runner Of

The horse, dragging the sleigh behind

suddenly that he was thrown violently

was cut considerably, but not seriously
