By HENRY B. CLEAvES, Governor
A PROCLAMATION

Maine takes a just pride in the beauty and
loneliness of her natural scenery, which
makes the state so attractive, not only to
our own people but to those seeking, within
our borders, pleasures and recreation and
the health giving breeze from our mountains
and sea.
And while nature, with a lavish hand, has
bestowed grace and beauty and variety to
our landscape, yet it is in accord with the
sentiment of our people, to devote special
day, in the springtime, in adjoining and
identifying the homes, the public and
private parks, the school grounds and high
ways of the state. by planting trees and
shrubs and vines. I, therefore, set apart
Wednesday, the ninth day of May, to be

LET THE CROWN TUMBLE
Awkward situation in which the
Duke Of Argyll Figured.

Uuk6 OF AFSyl ASuTc0
With reference to the bereavement just
suffered by the Duke Of Argyll, says the
MARQUIS de Fontenoy, writing in the Phila-
delphia Press, it may be of interest to men
ton that it was his father who was guilty
of the terrible breach of etiquette of letting
the Queens crown tumble to the ground
when she p~rorogued Parliament in state at
the time when the Prince of Wales was
about ten years of age. The late Duke, who
was Lord High Steward, was carrying the
crown on a velvet cushion, and in receding
backwards from the dais, after the Queen
had delivered her speech, he forgot the W
steps and tumbled over backward, sprawling
on his pack before the Queen, while the
crown, to the horror of everybody, fell from
its cushion and rolled along the floor, several
of the gems dropping out.
Although the scene was very ludicrous,
and the Queen has a keen sense of ridicule,
she preserved her gravity and e~ndeavored to
console the Duke for his mishap, begging
him not to be troubled about it. As soon,
however, as the royal procession had left the
pilded chamber, the official known as Black
Rod appeared and in a loud tone OF voice
requested the peers and peeresses and the
great dignitaries of the realm present, not to
move from their places until the stones that
fell from their setting had been collected, the
inference being that the noble lords and
ladies did not inspire much more confidence
as regards matters of honesty then h they
do now.
Possibly it was feared that some impe1
cunious peer would a k advantage OF the
clumsiness of the Duke of Argyll, to pick
M d crown Jewel and pocket it, since there
are several big stones in her Majesty's state
couture that might be converted into quite a
considerable amount of cash.
Talking about peers, among the many
privileges which they retain to this day, Is

their 200th member last night, and celebrated
the event with a champagne supper. The
gentleman who had the homo OF becoming

That is what every good physician in the
land advocates in order to drive grip out of
the system. 1t should be remembered, how-
ever, that the stimulant must be pure, n
that nothing for this purpose is equal to
good whiskey. 1t is unfortunate, however,
that there is so little pure medicinal whiskey
to be found, and, in fact, it can be truly said
that there is but one truly medicinal whiskey
upon the market, and that is Duffy's Pure
Malt. 1t is not like ordinary whiskey, how
ever much druggists and grocers may say SO.

ident; Thomas Il. O'Neil, Secretary; Daniel

James w. Anderson. A communication
from the Board of Trade, in which they en-
dorse the movement of the league in work
ing for the opening of the streets and the
building of wharves, was read. The letter
also extended an invitation to the league
to have a delegation present at
their next meeting to be held on
the 21st inst. The committee on opening
the streets were going to petition Leglsla-
tureto pass a bill permitting them to open
Duncan and Sip avenues and Broadway and
build wharves along the Hackensack. but on
investigation they found that al act
passed In 1888 gives the right to open streets
to the Hackensack. This act has never been
taken advantage Of. The League will make
use of it to push their point. The COM
mittee are Messrs. Lewis, Snedecker and
Adams. They nave seen all the property
owners in the neighborhood, and they have
signified their intention OF signing over to
the city such property as is necessary to cut
his report, which shows a surplus in the
treasury. A preamble OF the street and
wharf resolutions, which was draw up by
President Adams, was read.

Only Sold Two Hats Last Week
Hard Times Blamed.

Lewis II. Shaffer, the halter at Washing

about s. 5000. Today he confessed judgment
for $1,000, borrowed money, which his
mother, Mrs. Sarah Shaffer, loaned him in
July, 1892, and for $500 which he borrowed
from Louisa N. Williams in March, 1880.
Beside these claims, about 81, 100 is owing to

Counsellor John DENIM, who is trying to
~straighten out the financial difficulties for
Mr.. Shaffer, said today that he expected that
an arrangement that would be satisfactory
to the creditors would be effected, and that
Mr.. Sliaffer would continue business. The
failure is attributed by Mr.. Shaffer to the
hard times, for he only sold two hats last
week. Sheriff Toffey is now in possession OF
the business.

WANT INDICTMENTS QUAsHED.
Date of Trial of Justices YOumans
and McCOObery.

Date of Trial of Justices HOumanS
and McCoObery.
Judge Lippincott has set down next Mon
day as the time when he will hear Allan l..
McDermott's argument to have the indict-
ments against Justices of the Peace You
mans and McCoobery quashed. These two
Justices of the Peace were indicted by the
present Grand Jury in connection with the
Gutenberg race track alleged offenses. They
were charged with all of the offenses alleged
against the race track officials, n in add
ton thereto were indicted for receiving bail
at the race track when bookmakers were
arrested.
1t is claimed that this indictment against
the Justices is Illegal, and should be
~quashed.
A curious story has been told about these
indictments. 1t has been said that the Grand
Jury did not care to trust the work of draw
ing the indictments to the Prosecutors
office, and that they were prepared by Fore
man Record. The Assistant Prosecutor,
when spoken to about this, denied the story,
but there are many who believe it. No day
has been fixed for the trial of the Gutten-
berg race track men.
