Professor Bristors Exhibition.

Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather, last evening, Professor Bristol S
exhibition of educated horses was we'll
patronized, especially by the ladies who
took advantage of the free admission
and came out in goodly number. Dia-
mond was apparently the favorite among
the ladies on account of his ability to
distinguish colors, which they as well as
everyone else know is quite difficult
task for horse to perform In order
that all may see these horses, all ladies
accompanied by gentlemen will be adj
mitted free tomorrow evening. For adj
mission see advertisement.

Mixing Business.

DO you know" asked one of your nose
for-news men Of the writer, ''that many
lawyers ore engaging in other business in
addition to their profession? There was a
time when lawyer would think it tar
nish on his profession if he did anything
Else But it is not so any more in this city.
l know one lawyer on Washington street
who has an interest in meat market on
Cottage Grove avenue. and know Judge
OF the superior court who is the owner of a
down town barber shop. He bought the
place one day before he was on the bench
as an investment, and it pays so well that
he is holding onto it.-Chicago Tribune.

Meet HIS B0nuSmen TOday-NO Action
Will Be Taken Against Him BY Them
He Is Broken Down and Thoroughly
Will"
Last evening report was circu-
lated that Charles Paine, the alleged de-
faulter, had arrived in town. A PRESS
representative learned that Mr.. Paine
had been recognized by the conductor
of the Mountain Division train-that ar
rives at Cumberland Mills at p. m.-
as one of his passengers, and that he had
got off at Cumberland Mills and taken
the electric car into Portland. When
the car arrived Mr.. Paine stepped off and
proceeded to his residence No. 80 South
street.
Almost as soon as Mr.. Paine arrived
he was seen by several of the prominent
Odd Fellows, and the representative of
the PRESS called on him. Mr.. Paine
was too tired to talk much last night, but
made an arrangement to meet his bonds
men this morning. He was looking
much worn as was natural to man who
has had such weight ON his mind SO
long time.
Mr.. Paine said that after he left his
house Thursday morning and went to his
office, meeting and talking with his fore
man on the way las was stated in the
PRESS, he went to Harding's oyster
shop and bought some cigars. His mind
was in maze and he hardly knew VIII at
he was doing. Then he went to the
Union Station and took the train for
Montreal. It will thus be seen that the
members of engine company, No. 8, who
thought they saw him at the engine
house on Sunday evening were mistaken,
and that the one who thought the night
was Wednesday, was correct.
Mr.. Paine said that the few DAYS he
passed in Montreal convinced him that
was stranger among strangers and that
If he had any friends they were in
Portland rather than in the Dominion
city. He therefore determined to re-
turn at once and did SO. He told his
visitors that he left himself in their
hands to do with him as they pleased.
He is a thoroughly broken down and
penitent man.
1t is understood that his bondsmen do
not intend to prosecute him, and it is
most likely the Order will drop the mat
ter here. Such property as Mr.. Paine
had is already covered by the Order, ex-
cepting, of course, that which is attached
by other creditors.

The cold, freezing weather has little
or no effect upon the railroad trains or
the cab drivers of Portland, because
they are always on time and ready for
duty when there is student to be con-
veyed to the Kelley College at Deering.
A finely managed road like the Maine
Central that stops all her trains within
one block of the Kelley Institute of
Maine is not to be overlooked by the
people of Maine. just think how other
institutes of other states have to suffer

ARE TIMES HARD?
A Prominent Portland Wholesale Dealer
Says We Have the Reflection Not the
Substance-The Pension Payments.

"Maine has the reflection rather than
the substance Of the hard times" said a
prominent wholesale merchant to the
PRESS yesterday. "The fact is, the
times are not especially hard here in
Maine. The farmers have had an excel
lent year. one of the best, I think, for a
long time; and in state where the pro-
portion of farmers is so large this is an
important and almost controlling fac
tor. Our December collections were ex-
cellent, and there is nothing unusual in
the situation this month. The pension
payments,i as usual, have helped make
things easy in December. These pay
ments, we find, become quite an item,
and can remember several currency
pinches, like that last September, where
the pension money has materially re-
lieved the situation, The pension checks
go into every country town, they are
used to settle at the store the bill for the
family groceries, and the country traders
endorse them over to us. Our cash re-
ceipts show a surprising number of
them, and we realize better than men in
other lines, how much the pension mon
ey helps.''

VACANCY ON THE FEDERAL SUPREME
BENCH is FILLED.
Senator Edward Douglass White, of
Louisiana, Nominated and Promptly
Confirmed as Associate Justice of the

SENATOR EuWaru DOu&kass Whi1eS "a
Louisiana, Nominated and Promptly
Confirmed as Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The nomina-
tea Of Senator Edward d. White of
Louisiana to be associate justice of the
Eapreme court was as much a surprise
to the senate as to the general public,
and almost before the dignified solons
had time to recover the nomination was
confirmed. While months had been
spent in consideration of the nomina-
tions of Messrs. Hornblower and Peck
ham, and much time devoted to them
by the senate committee on judiciary,
the name of Mr. White was not referred
to the committee at all, and in less than
an hour after the nomination had been
received the senate had placed its seal OF
approval upon the selection, had robbed
itself of an esteemed member, and had
given the supreme court the one man
necessary to make full bench.
The nomination was received through
Private Secretary Pruden, while Sena-
tor Daniel was engaged in speech on
the Hawaiian question. He imme-
diately announced his willingness to
suspend, and upon doing So Mr.. Caffery
moved an executive session.
The senate had been in session
behind closed doors less than half
an hour when it became known that the
motion to confirm without reference
had carried without opposition. The
vote was unanimously and heartily in
favor of confirmation.
