I.er,.lntIre Intelligence.

The intelligence of a member of the Kentucky legislature has at times been called into question, but it is hardly fair to that distinguished body of statesmen to have any doubt on thls subject. In testimony whereof is this. Two newspaper men reporting the pro- ceedings at Frankfort were disputing over the spelling of members name.
 By George" contended one, "I tell you it is spelled with an a."
 "1'll bet you dollar it is an e." in- sisted the other.
 'T know better and we'll leave it to him"
 The other gave long whistle.
 ''Leave it to him, nothing" he ex- claimed; "he doesn't know how to spell his name, and I've seen him run his tongue out four inches trying to write it." ----.---.----------

CHIMNEYS IN ENGLAND.
They Were Not in Use There Before the
 Twelfth Century.

Twelfth Century.
 There does not appear to be any evi- dence of the use of chimney shafts in England prior to the twelfth century. In Rochester castle, which is in all probability the work of ". Corbyle, about 1130, there arc complete fire places with semicircular backs, and shaft in each joint supporting semi circular arch over the opening, which is enriched with zigzag molding; some of these project slightly from the wall. The fues, however, go only few feet up in the thickness of the wall, and are turned at the back, the apertures being small oblong holes. At Castle Rockingham, Essex, which is about the same date, there are fire places and chimneys of similar kind. A few years later the improvement of carrying the flue up through the whole height of the wall appears, as at Christ church, Hants; the keep at Newcastle; Sherborne castle, Dorsetshire; Conis- borough castle, | Yorkshire, and Boothby Pagnell, Lincolnshire. The early chim- ney shafts are of considerable height and circular. afterward they assume a great variety of forms, and during the fourteenth century they are frequent ly extremely short. Previous to the sixteenth century the shaft is often short, and not unfrequently terminated by spire or pinnacle, usually of rath- CT low proportions, having apertures of various forms, under and sometimes in it, for the escape of the smoke. There are also taller shafts of various forms square, octangular or circular -surmounted with a cornice, forming a sort of capital, the smoke issuing from the top. Clustered chimney shafts do not appear until rather late in the fifteenth century; afterward they be- came very common, and were frequent ly highly ornamented, especially when of brick.

In an interview he calls on the people to drop politics and work unitediy for statehood, saying that the result of the late e 'ection shows New.

IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.


 The city council has made move in the right direction. The contract for more lights IS not only favorable one but very proper one.
 There is nothing that adds more to the appearance of town than lights, and Phoenix will for the present be well supplied in that respect. Thisw one of the promises made by the city administration and it has been fulfilled to the letter.
 If the other improvements now fol- low the council will please the people and perform all that was expected.
 But there is work to do and it will take rustling to do it. The grading of the outside streets answers temporarily, but the inside ones should be more permanently improved. The council will doubtless undertake this work. A movement ia again on foot to bring in the additions, and there should be no delay in the matter.
 An especially important question, however, is the sanitary problem. A great deal of sickness is reported, and much of it comes trom bad sanitary con- ditions. The city should be kept abso- lutely clean. Rocking alleys and stag nant ditchea and pools should be abated. The city does not own the sewer system and cannot assess sewer tax, but the saver charges are reasonable and the city can compel its use to the extent of keeping the city clean, and in the end the cost will be no more to the people than if the city owned the system. The health of many should not be sacrificed because few neglect ordi- nary sanitary precautions.
 However. as we sad in the begin ming, the council has started in the right direction. We have faith that it will keep the good work up all along the line.

HE WAS TOO MODERATE.
And He Afterwards Blamed Himself for

Praying for so Little.
 The Syracuse Post tells this story of an old colored man in that city who works in stone quarry in that vicin- ity. Not long ago while blasting was in progress he lost one of his eyes, Be- fore he was examined by the doctors at the time he said he wanted to pray be- fore any operation was performed upon him. Well, hurry up," he was told. And so lie began to pray in his strict Methodist way for the kind Lord to save him his eyes, and if he couldn't save them both to save at least one of them. Then he prayed for cne eye; he wanted only one eye; so long as he could see that would be enough. Finally the operation was thing of the past and one eye was saved. Not long after some one saw him on the street with patch over one eye. He was growing and grumbling. Whats the matter?" he was asked. ''Mattah? Why, Ise made fool ob dis yere nig- gah!'' he growled. And how?" ''Why, wen done got dis here eye blowed out-well. y see, taut dat l mought lose both eyes, an so I prayed dat one eye, anyways, would be left to me. We'll, de Lord answered my prayer; but Ise made fool ob myself. AK an y shall receib, says de Bible. We'll, I axed, an 1 got wot l axed foh. De reason Ise blame fool is dat I didn't t ax for two eyes instead ob one.'

THE FIRST STEP IN CRIME.

D..
 We have vivid illustrations nearly every day in either Arizona or some- where else that man who flies too high never lights on his feet in the end This thing of cutting a wide swath upon other peoples money without their knowledge or consent leads finally to either man becoming fugitive from justice, entering prison cell or con- mitting suicide. It leads to the dis grace of family, generally of innocent women and children whose sorrow and humiliation 8 man ought to think of if he does not care anything for his own reputation and peace of mind.
 We now have especially in view the case of Bookkeeper Seely, of the Shoe and Leather bank of New York, who commenced with 8 small dedication several years ago and then increased it from time to time to cover his first false step until the amount of the de- falcation became SD great he was unable longer to conceal his theft.
 But we do not need to go so far away from home for examples just as striking as the Seely case, although the amounts involved may have been smaller. There are many readers of THE REPUBLICAN who, within their own knowledge, know young men this side of New York, who has been utterly ruined by fast living, bad associates and gambling and they know other young men that for the same cause are on the down hill road to perd1tion and disgrace.
 If the young men employed in posi- tions of trust could be made to under stand that they are no longer fitted for the position they occupy after they are guilty of the first false step, although the amount is small and they replace 1t, perhaps there would be less crimes committed and many good ard capable men be saved from disgrace, as we'll as their families. But many of them do not seem to comprehend that crime is crime whether detected or not ard when man once commits a crime he proves that he is capable of wrong doing and the first crime is generally followed by one greater magnitude. the third exceeds the second and thus it goes on till the end of the rope is reached.
 The bes5 thing for young man to do in starting out in life is to make firm resolve to live within his income for there is nothing that will render one more desperate and reckless than an army of unfortunate bill collectors clamoring ct his door for payment of honest debts, when he has not the wherewith to satisfy their demandS. It is said the devil never steps in to tempt man in whom is confded an important financial trust until he over steps the boundary of his income and gets seriously in debt. Then his great est ingenuity is taxed to make his in- tended victim take the step in crime for after that he we'll knows the road to ruin will be swift and sure.
 Young man, shun the gaming table, evil associations and fast living as you would shun malignant contagion.

Will Be Owners Of CANNES Who Don't Get
Licenses Within Few Days.

Have you 60. your dog licensed:
Evidently not, for only ~ dogs have thus
far been licensed in this city this year, as
the books at F. E. Southard's office will
show.
There were $50 dogs licensed in Augusta
last year. Now are 400 dogs gone to the
happy hunting ground or sre the owners
thinking to themselves that they are to
avoid paying the tax:
Don't think that by not complying with
the law all that the officers can do is to kill
your dog. You will be obliged to pay $40
if anyone makes complaint against you.
The complainant gets s. and the town So.
Here is good way to raise funds for
public impI ovement, say $1,000 on the unli-
censed CANNES.
Here is what can be found in section 6 of
the dog law which owners will do well to
read as they have but four days in which to
avoid the penalties of the law: The
mayor of each city, the selectmen of towns
anu lhe assessors VI plantations snall annu-
ally, within ten days from the first day of
May, issue warrant to one or more police
officers or constables directing them to pro-
coed forthwith either to kill or cause to be
killed all dogs within such city, town or
plantation not licensed and collared accord
ing to the provisions of this act, and to en-
ter complaints against the owners or keep
ers thereof"

CLARK'S CARRIAGE SHOP.
Very Systematically Arranged ard the Drop
Axle in Great Demand.

On Maple street, East side, just above
the Cannot & Morse Publishing House, is
the carriage manufacturing shop of Hiram
Clark & Co. Mr.. Hiram Clark the head of
the firm, is the man who invented, and pro-
cured a patent, for his we'll known drop axle.
The arrangement of the different depart
ments of this mandatory is very conve-
nient, more so than is usually found. The
wood material is brought in the back en-
trance to the room where it is trimmed,
planed, the panels being run over a sand
wheel, and the round " ork over a sand belt.
After being finished in this department it is
passed to another, " here further preparation
takes place, such as making the wheels and
bodies, and from this room il passes into
the ironing room, where all the brace work
of iron and the firing of the wheels is done.
From here the wagon, in its complete form,
is taken to the second story where the man
with the paint brush gives finish to the We
hicle, and when he is through with it,if the
carriage is the kind that needs it, the up
holsterer has his turn.
All the machinery is run by the engine,
which is located in the basement and is of
10 horse power and the boiler 20 horse
power. There is neat covered wagon
now being built for the Peoples Ice
Co., of this city. The drop axle
wagon is in great demand. Mr..
Clark has orders from all over the State
and, if possible, generally keeps few made
ahead. This drop axle he had patented in
1888. There are two of these wagons in
the shop now which are nearly finished and
will be sent away this week. One
is for Sawyer & Mcclellan, grocers,
Old Town; the other for 1. L. Shepherd &
Co., grocers, Castine, and one was shipped
the other day to James Walker & Co, pro
prietors, Basin Mills, Orono. There are
eight men at work in the shop now, only
half a crew. Mr.. Clark says business has
been fairly good this spring.
