ApriI Fool Dav.

The custom of sending one on a boot
less errand or otherwise "April fooling"
him on the first day of April is very an.
cient. Yet it cannot truthfully be said
What any one is equal to the task of trac-
ing it to its origin. Some antiquarians
profess to believe it survival of the
trayesty of sending the Saviour hither
and thither. first from Annas to Gaia
phas and then to Plate and Herod. This
opinion is strengthened by the fact that
during the middle ages that very scene
In Christ's life was made the subject of
one of the Easter Miracle Plays" enact
ed on the chief streets of London and
other English cities of the first class.
Even though the above opinion has re-
ceived the sanction of Brande, Moore
and Hone, it is not at all unlikely that
it is really a relic of some old heather
festival, such as the Hull festival of the
Hindoos or the Roman 'tfeast of fools. -
The custom, whatever its origin, Of
playing tricks and pranks of all kinds
on the first day of this month is univer-
sal throughout Europe and is also prao-
ticed in many other countries and un.
der various names. 1t is a curious fact
that the Hindoo Hull festival, where
April fool tricks of all sorts are PLAYED.
is held on the night of the 31st of March,
and the orgies are not discontinued un.
til sunrise on the morning of April L.

TIE WOOL MARKET.
This Weeks Business Somewhat Quieter
Than Last Week.

Boston, November 2S-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow of
the wool trade: No large single transac-
tions are effected in these days. Manu-
facturers are not buying in quantity. but
thew are using an immense amount, SO that
freouent small movements make a mickIe
in month. Perhaps this week has been
somewhat uuieter than last. if one judges
nv he sales (although the aggregate, set
down for the week, to our knowledge. does
not include all the lots of wool that have
changed hands in the period, yet on its sur
face the market has appeared no less active
than IL has ordinarily presented itself for a
month past. The fact is, all recent business
has been done in a quiet way; when the
a,pest volume has been transacted, there
as be,n no demonstrative evidence beyond
the market report. This season of 1894 is a
unioue period in this respect, as we'll as in
.he score of low prices.
The sales of the week amount to 2,220. 900
nonnds domestic. and $4,000 pounds
foreign. making total of 2.9l9.O pounds
AGAINST a total of 2, ITO, 500 for the previous
week and a total of 5,S60,0O for the CORES
,ondino week last year. The sales since
January 1, 1894. amount to $50, 7s3, $50 pounds
against 100, Isl. 900 pounds year ago. The
sales in Philadelphia have amounted to
asg3 300 pounds.

Sued for Cutting Shade Trees: :

Rockland, November 2s.-Street Com
missioner Simmons of Rockland has
been sued for $1,000 damages for trespass
on the premises of Mrs. Delano A. Wilson
on South Main street. The suit alleges
that he cut down four beautiful large
shade trees without permission of the
owner, the trees being valued at $500,
and also dam aged other shru ubbery and
ornamental trees to the value of $10O,
and did other damage to the premises.
This is regarded as a test case, and
grows out of the recent cutting down OF
trees along the street by the city author
tiles. who claimed that they were on the
line of the road. The street commits
sioner says he acted only as the preserv-
ing of the line of the street demanded.
Mayor Knight says-.that the city will
uphold Mr.. Simmons in the case.
Mr.. Simmons is summoned for trial at
the next term of the Supreme Court.

10000 for the State.

Augusta, Novemb ber 2s.-The late Hor-
ace Williams of this city was one of the
weathiest men in Maine. His estate
amounts to over $l,500,0O0, all in good
clear securities and under the collateral
Inheritance law will put into the state
treasury in the neigh borhood of $40, 600,
which is probably the largest tax which
any estate in Maine will yield for many
years to come. 1t would seem to be a
silly provision of the collateral inheri-
tance law taxing bequest made to the
state or state institution. 1t is like
taking money from one pocket and pIac-
ing it in the other. The late Mrs. Mus
tard bequeathed $400 to the Maine In
dustr;al school for girls, which is sup
ported by the state. Yet this bequest
must bear its tax of 1-2 per cent,
which will go into the treasury.

SIXTY YEARS A SHOEMAKER.
Death of Limerick's Oldest Citizen-A
Brother and Son Live in Portland.
Especial to the PRESSJ

Limerick. November 28.-There died in
this town Monday one of the oldest, in fact
the very Oldest citizen, and local
character, long influential among his fellow
citizens and universally respected. Mr.. Ira
Clark passed away at the age of IS years
Death resulted from general breaking up,
due to old age.
He was born in Limington in 1909. His
father was Nathaniel Clark. one OF the first
boot and shoe manufacturers in Maine. He
made them by the hand method. and en-
ployed several men. No machinery was used
in his mandatory. His son, Ira. the
oldest of the family of twelve children, was
destined to continue this hand manufacture
OF boots till long after the machines were
turning them out by the thousands and
probably longer than any other man in the
state. Fer over sixty years he had made
and repaired boots by hand. He went to
Limerick when twenty years of age and be-
gan work in his cobbler's shop, and had
continued that occupation up till within a
year of his death, 90 years after. He was a
very fine workman and supplied many
regular customers with boots made to order.
For oven half century his shop was the
scene of that feature of the village social
life, where the old men gossip and argue
and joke together saDd the young men listen
and learn and laugh.
Mr.. Clarke was deacon in the Congrega-
tional church. a man of genial, kindly
nature and sterling strength of character.
In mis- death Limerick loses veritable part
of herself.
The late United States Marshal Char les
Clark. was brother of his. OF the family
of twelve children, of which Ira was the
oldest, there are now living Mr.. George A.
Clark of Portland. Nathaniel Clark of Lynn,
Mrs. Brooks of Auburn and Mrs. Julia and
Mrs. Sarah L. Frost of Springvale. who
married two brothers, William and Edward
Frost.
Ira Clark was the father of Horatio Clark,
of the firm Of Milliken, Cousens & Short OF
Portland. He had three other sons, Charles
of Detroit, Mich, and Frank and Oliver of
Minneapolis. now temporarily engaged in
business in Portland.
Mr.. Clark was Republican as long as
there have been Republicans. For years he
WAS member of the old Limerick Artillery
company. of which Judge Morrill, of Auburn
was member.

Some Hot Heats and Many Tumbles.

New York, November 28.-The second day
of the International Bicycle Tournament at
Madison Square Garden brought better
racing and fewer accidents than the first.
The attendance was large and the excite
neat sustained throughout. The afternoon
trials furnished much good sport and many
hard finishes, Cne section of class b. mile
scratch, in which Brother Charles"
Murphy beat out Nat Butler, Boston's pride,
being. perhaps. the prettiest contest, the
meet thus far has developed. Butler was
expected to put in big bid for class B. five
mile Championship, tonight, but a tumble in
his trial heat for this event rendered him
unable to qualify. Ray MaGDonland fell
with hiuu and smashed his wheel, but bor-
rowed a now mount and qualified with
Monte Scott and Camel. The first event of
the evening was a class A mile, won by
little Tom Butler, Mats worthy brother. At
the start of the last lap of class mile Nc
Duffeestooksths lead from Charles Murphy
by slip that strongly resembled foul.
Murphy protested but was overruled and
the race went to Nc Duffee. Macdonald and
SCOTT ran almost abreast for place, and
Blauyelt was ridden off the track being uu
able to keep up the terrific gait of the last
half. Tommy Butler ran away with
class two mile handicap, and made new
in door record for the distance of 5.C6 90.
Hargan of Newark and White of the Long
Island road race winner. fell in this race
and were considerably shaken up. Charley
Murphy squared accounts with McDuffes
by beating him out in the indoor five mile
championship with Monte Scott close
third after one of the hottest races of the
day which tired out Ray Nc
