Most OF Them Have Adopted the White
Mans Dress and Way of Living.
Names two Indian tribes, the Penobscots
and the Passamaquaddys, wear the dress o.
the whites and for the most part have adopted
their ways OF living
But the nomadic spirit is still strong within
them, and the summer finds parties camped
at the various Maine watering places making
and selling beaded purses and woven gras:
and basket-work trinEels, while the squawS
turn many a silver piece by telling fortunes.
In some wood lot, where the ash tree tnat
supplies them with working material is plenti.

and saplings, rooted with bark or shingles
and well climbed with moss. There is feel,

that the Indians, as first proprietors. have {

they choose, and, as they are peaeeabe anC

Sweet Dorothy Drew

A capital story is being told of Mr.. Rudyard
Gladstones granddaughter. During the
novelist's stay in Wiltshire last summer he
met little Dorothy at country house, and,
being very fond of children, took her about
the grounds and told her stories. After a
time Mrs. Drew, fearing that Mr.. Kipling must
have mad enough of the child's society, called
her and said: ''Now. Dorothy. hope you
have been a good child and have not been

he had been able to collect 81, 100. He ex-
pressed the belief that with proper e1ertion
$4,000 could be obtained, with guarantee of
that sum for five years, and with that sum a
modest, but fairly satisfactory beginning
could be made. 1t was also urged that the
District Commissioners should be imper-
tuned to make an annual appropriation of
$4,000.
A free public library is as much an essential
part OF the scheme of free education as are
the schools themselves. No good reason can
be advanced why such library, as this
association intends to establish--one which
is especially designed to help the young
should not nave the support of the govera-
ment and be included. TO some extent, in The
annual estimates for the maintenance OF the
schools. In Germany such libraries form
part OF the school system and are specially
designed for the instruction and edification
of the pupils.
It is probable that the library to be opened

tended 10 have wider scope, but that would
furnish all the better reason for government
aid, because the government is directly inter
ested in the dissemination of knowledge.

AT 10 O'CLOCK A. M.


for the purpose of nominating a candidate lof
Governor to be supported at the september
election; and transacting any other business
that may properly come before 1t.
The basis of representation will be as fol-
lows: Each City. Town and Plantation Will Dc

cast for the Republican candidate for Governor
in 1892. an additional delegate, and for trac-
ton of 40 votes in excess of 70, an addltlonai

morning of the convention, for the purpose OF
receiving the credentials of delegates. Dele
gates in order to participate in fhe conventlon,
must be elected subsequent to the date OF the

Confronted, as we are. by the attempt oil the
Democratic party in Congress to destroy Inc
industries, to PROSTATE the agricultural al inter

venting the laborer receiving his just reward,
we invite all electors of Maine. without regard
to past political differences, who desire to pro-
test against this destructive policy of the Demo-

the protective tariff: who belive in sound and
honest currency in free popular education; IN
securing political power to every cltlzen; IN
promotion of the cause of temperance; in just
and equal taxation; in all measures for the en-
couragement and defence of American inter-

of delegates to this convention.

Ex-senator Reagan tells the Demo-
Gratis of Texas that the Democratic party
is going to the definition bow vows, and
that something must be done to save it.
His remedy is to throw overheard the
men who have betrayed 1.-THE President
first of all. The Atlanta Constitution,
one of the principal organs OF the Demo-
crazy, says amen to Reagan's diagnosis
and to his remedy. Here is another
striking evidence of the growing un-
popularity of President Cleveland with
his own party. Hill openly denounces
his foreign policy and places upon him
large share of the responsibility of
last summers panic, Morgan advises the
Democrats of his State not to endorse
him, and Reagan says he must be
thrown overheard as a condition pre-
cedent to the rehabilitation of the
Democratic party.
