Williston Church.

Williston church came of age on Mon
day, and its twenty-frst anniversary was
recognized that evening by a social in
the church parlors. Last year the
twentieth anniversaries of both the
church and the Christian Endeavor
society were celebrated by special sxer-
cises, so this year the anniversaries were
not elaborate.
After attention had been given to the
light refreshments provided, Rev. Mr..
Pratt, officiating as toastmaster, called
upon these ladies and gentlemen to re-
spond to the following toasts
Our Old Mem bers-L. r. Loring.
The Church of Today-A. L. Burbank.
The Sunday School-L. A. Gray.
Ups. C.E. IF. G. Malone.
Ladies' Circle-Mrs. Frost
Mizpah Band-Mrs. C. A. Plummer.
Light Bearers-Master Edison.
The Choir-Wm. Chamberlain.
The responses while off hand, extern
poraneous speeches were all to the point
and received with great favor. Inter-
spersed, during the evening, was delight
full music by the celebrated choir of the
church composed of Miss Ida King Tar
box, Miss Katherine M. Kicker, DR.. II.
NJ. Nickerson and J. F. Macy.
There is great unity in everything con-
nected with Williston, and if equal pro-
gress is made in the next twenty-one
years as in the past, no church in New
England will be in more flourishing
condition.

Treatment For Wounds.

Dr.. Eichler, in the "Aerzt, Prakt, T"
advocates Peru balsam as a dressing
which causes lacerated wounds to heal
quickly, its points of adaptation being
that it adheres we'll and covers the en-
tire surface of the wounds; it has q
drying effect, but stimulates granula-
tions, and following application scab
is formed under which healing goes on.
DR.. Eichler states that it's use is especial
ly indicated in the treatment of wounds
having tendency to marked suppura-
ton or partial gangrene, and in in
juries of the hands and fingers the re,
suits are excellent. In practice, after
coaptition of the margins of the wound,
the Peru balsam is poured over the en-
tire surface, which is then covered with
thin layers of gauze moistened with
balsaln and an ordinary dressing. The
latter may be left in place for several
days, though it is an advantage to re-
move the outer dressing daily and
inoisten the gauze with the balsam
without removing it from the wound.

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.


The February civil term was opened
yesterday morning.
The first case ready on the assigned list
was Hannah L. Walker against Samuel
Doughty, wherein Miss Walker claims
s74, for the use and occupation of her
farm in Scarboro.
Il seems that in March, 1888, Mr..
Doughty made trade with the plaintiff
for her farm, agreeing to give her $1,000
for it and putting into her. hands $40 as a
forfeit. as he says, or as she says to
bind the bargain"
Mr.. Doughty Immediately moved onto
the place, lived there nearly four weeks,
ard then moved away. No writings or
deed were made and no further money
was paid. Miss Walker Immediately
brought suit for use and occupation.
Nh. Doughty claims that she kept at
him 10 pay the money for the farm; he
was holding off because he had been i'll
formed that she could not give a good
title because she then mad divorce pro-
ceedings against her husband, Mr.. Star
man, pend!ng;, that one day she told
him IL the business was not closed up
thar week she should throw up the trade;
that subsequently she ordered him to
vacate. The defendant claims that the
$50 he placed in her hands as a forfeit,
which she has never paid back, is
sufficient remuneration for the short
period he occupied it. Verdict for the
plaintiff for $3i. 35.
Aft. Moulton for plaintiff.
SC. Perry for defendant.

HARTFORD SCHOOL FOR THE'DEAF
Prof. Bell Replies to the Recent Letter of
DIR. Williams.
Benin Bhreagh. Victoria County,
Nova Scotia, Canada,
February 2. 1894,

Benin Bhreagh, Victoria County,
Nova Scotia, Canada,
February 2, 1894.
To the Editor of the Portland Daily
PRESS:
Sir-In your issue of January 20, Dr..
Job Williams, principal of the Hartford
School for the Deaf, writes OF some
things that omitted to mention" con-
corning the Hartford school. am afraid
that even DR.. Williams himself is open to
the soft impeachment. For example: In
nv letter published in your issue OF
January 10, said that: Son the 10Th of
November, 1898, 1904 deaf children were
under instruction in the United States;
and that 2056 or "a. s per cent were in
structed wholly by the )@Oral Method
To this DR.. Williams replies, "Dr. Bell
leaves the impression that all these
(2O5s) are in oral schools. He neglects
to state the fact that 1888, or more than
three-ffths of these are taught in schools
employing the eclectic or combined sys-
tenn of which the Hartford school is a
pre-eminent example" To this 4 may
reply that DR.. Williams here leaves the
impression that some. at least, of these
1888 cases are to be found in the Hartford
school, which is not the case; and he
ueolects to state that not one pupil IN
his school is taught by the Oral Method.
(See the official returns made by Dr.
Williams himself to the American
Annals of the Deaf, January 1894, page
3d.
There are some schools in America
that pursue an Eclectic System, in which
both the sign and oral methods are
taught, but the Hartford school is not
one of them. For none of its pupils are
taught by the oral method, and all of
them employ the De l'Eppee Sign-lan-
guage. Eclectic schools like the Penn
sylvania institution, employ the pure
separate and distinct from the manual
department carried on under the same
general school management, and the
pupils of the two departments do not
mingIe together even after school hours.
DIR. Williams characterizes my reference
to lis school as "carlcature." l am
sorry he thinks SO for what | said was
as follows:
sit is good school, probably the best
of it's kind, and struggling to educate
the deaf in the way that seems best to
it. I would not seek to deprive it Of one
pupil whose parents desire should be
taught by the sign-language method;
but do object to pupils being sent to
that school. whose parents have signified
a preference for the oral method, py
sending them to the Portland school;
and If this school should be discontinued
the wishes of the parents should be re-
spected and the pupils sent to North
ampton or some other oral school.

LIVELY RUNAWAYs.
A Horse Car Pole Broken and Preble
House Window Smashed,

Yesterday, on Spring street, near
Emery, a rein broke and the forward
pair of horses attached to a horse car be
came frightened. They dashed around
until they broke the pole and cleared
themselves. The GOODNESS of the driver
prevented the rear pair of horses from
becoming unmanageable and the car did
not leave the track, though the passen-
gers thought at one time it would 60
over. The forward horses, after they had
cleared themselves, ran against MI.
Harris fence. One jumped over and the
other remained on the side next to the
street. When they had kicked the fence
down the horses separated, one ran down
toward the stable and turned corner SO
rapidly that he fell and was secured.
The other was also caught and no dam
age to speak of resulted from the affair.
The driver is deserving of great praise
for his action all through the affair.
Yesterday morning sorrel horse at
tached to pung, started from the corner
OF High street and dashed down Congress
street. In FRONT of Owen, Moore & CD. IS
store stood the sleigh of Mr.. Ned Rogers.
Mr.. Rogers, himself, was in the store.
The runaway animal struck the sleigh
and left part of the pung behind him,
but fortunately did not injure Mr..
Rogers sleigh very much. Continuing
on his way the horse took to the side
walk just in front of the Emerson shoe
store and dashed full speed into the iron
fence in front of the Preble house. The
iron ball on the corner of the fence was
broken off and thrown through the plate
glass widow of Crooks barber shop just
below. Three ladies who were walking
no Congress street had a narrow escape.
One of them ran into the Preble house
ladies' entrance, another fed down the
stairs into the barber shop and the third
rushed into the gentlemen's entrance OF
the Preble Leaving the remainder OF
the pung behind him the horse ran
around the corner of Preble street, past
the Westbrook car. turned down Port
land street and finally landed in Green
street stable.

MR.. REEDS SPEECH.
1t Should Be Printed in Book Form With
Opposing Arguments.
GEORGE E. LEFAVOR

A Harvard graduate writes to the Bos-
ton Advertiser:
I have carefully read with great in
terest the speeches of Messrs. Reed and
Crisu. closing the debate in Congress on
the Wilson bill before the vote was
taken Mr.. Crisp, in opening, conceded
that the cause of protection had been
presented by its strongest advocate. VINO
had claimed that the prosperity and high
rate of wages in this country was due TO
protection, but Mr.. Crisp asserted that
Mr.. Reed had given no reason in proof
that they were due to protection.
Simple denial is not argument. and l
would ask if it is not possible to have
in print Tin pamphlet or book form) the
ex-Speaker's speech, and an answer YER
batim ct seriatim. Could the Repn bill
can club of Massachusetts issue better
campaign document? Who knows but
what it might be adopted at Harvard as
a textbook?
Surely such a book is needed there, in
the West and in the South, and the
editors of certain English newspapers
might read such book with profit to
their intelligence if not to their pockets.
The editor of the Boston Advertiser
makes the following comment:
Our correspondents suggestion is a
good one. Repu blicans would like moth
ing better than to have all voters read
Mr.. Reeds mastery presentation of the
protective argument, together with the
very best verbatim ct seriatim" reply
that any free trader can make. Probably
Democrats would not be pleased to rest
their case Cd Speaker Crisp's confessed
ly lame speech. Perhaps an arrangement
could be made between the Home Market
club and the Tariff Reform League by
which both sides of the question could
be presented in a single printed docu-
