Friday evening, an unknown mar

my friends do me JUSTICE by letting them

The man was questioned but would
merely say: cit was handed me on the
corner"
This letter was placed in the hands OF
one of the Journals city reporters for in
vestigation and the pencil pusher hied
away to the jail to see if Worsley had oc
cupied cell within the gloomy walls O!
that barred windowed and firm granite
structure.
"Read this letter, please, said the re-
porter to Sheriff Norton, as he passed
through the large door to the Jail office
Sheriff Norton read the letter as here
given, and replied to question from the
Journal man:
Eyes, Worsley was released from Jail,
today, by special orders from Judge Lar.
rabee of Gardiner, over the telephone.
"Worsley was lodged in jail, May 23,
to serve sentence of 80 days for drunken
ness, but you will notice that his time
was not up, said Mr.. Norton, as the re
porter took his departure to seek infoma
ton elsewhere if possible.
The reporter learned that Worsley ha6
written the letters, as specified in the dis
patch from North Pittston, and had en-
closed in one a clipping from paper
which stated that man in the West ha(
been shot, few days previous, because
he did not leave town, as it seems Wor5le.

Angling for SpeckIed Beauties.

Trout fishing has to some extent be-
come custom among the lovers of sport
and no doubt in many cases folks go fish
ing because others do. Just now is the
prime period for angling and of course
every man who possesses rod and reel
also has that yearning to get out upon
some lake or along large brook where
he may tempt hungry trout. The gen
eral story of the returning fisherman is
that the largest fish was lost Some mis-
fortune occurred at a critical period and
the large speckled beauty descended to
the crystal water from whence it came
One of Augustus famous fishermen is

State Police Force.

II don't think the proper means were
adopted last winter when the proposition
was made before the Legislature for the
appointment of State police or detective

officer made to Journal reporter yester-
day, and he continued to converse freely
regarding the matter.
1.-THE plan explained was to have chief
and large corps of deputies and with
this aggregation it was thought that the
criminals would be placed at bay. The
idea of receiving an aid from police Of
ficiais in the various cities and towns of
the State was not emphasized to any
marked extent, but believe me this was in
nv opinion one of the chief measures that
should have been specially noted
"You go to town and begin detective
work without even soliciting even
thread of information from police officer
and lust as sure as you live he will foster
jealousy and perhaps launch out on his
own craft of investigation which possibly
may end in his attaining glory.

but l think the start should be made ON
small scale and If the right persons are de-
tailed to attend to this important work the
people of Maine will very readily see the
good results of such an organization
The steps which I think judicious are to

lice force in the State. Crime In Maine
is developing to marked extent and
surely some means of stopping 1t must
soon be put in force"

Kennebec Pomona GRANGE.

The regular meeting of Kennebec
Pomona Grange with China Grange, June
), was one of the largest in the history of
this organization. Delegations were pre-
sent from ~ oranges, the new grange at
East Vassalboro sending II of It's men,
bers. The meeting was called to order
on time by the W. NJ, K. N. Pinkham of
Litchfield. The fifth or Pomona degree
WAS conferred in tull upon IL candidates
The question, "How May We Improve
Our Rural Schools" was opened by Prof
W. j. Thompson of the Erskinc High
school, South China. The speaker re-
garded education as a process rather than
a thing. and going back to the period
when society was in an unciyilized state,
spoke of the Indian, who can hunt and
fish and thus sustain himself, receiving
inspiration from the atmosphere and ali
nature around him. 1T Is surprising"
continued the speaker. how much may
come to us from our Surroundings. The
time has come when the mind may be
absorbed without any other education :.
and the time is coming when 1t will be
more so than at present. From the three
RS of the past we are entering into the
new education and there is more beyond.
In this new education the country schools
are behind. The common school system
is all right. If we strike at that we strike
blow at our nations prosperity. But
we must be more modern. The old
axioms of the past arc true now as ever,
but we must not work over so much old
material; that time has gone by. What
are modern methods? Houses in the hands
of skilled worknen grow; the same may
be said of our bodies and minds. Care
should be taken, however, that the growth
be not too rapid, lest they break down

1.-The atmosphere should be educa-
tional. The child should be encouraged
TO ask questions, that the mind may
grow In the right direction. We need bet
ter and more comfortable schooIhouses;
they should be attractive. Also we need
better teachers. Parents seem to have lost
an interest in the schools; scholars will
work better il their parents visit them.
We should not feel surprised if $3-a-

sS-a-week teacher can perform. Don't
spoil child's mind and consequent sue

NEW INSANE HOSPITAL.
Commission Has Nearly Concluded Upon De
sign for the One at Bangor.

A Journal man called upon DIR. B. II.
Sanborn, superintendent of the Maine In
sane hospital, and in the course
of a chat about different matters relative
to the care of the insane, the building of
the new insane hospital at Bangor was
brought up. DR.. Sanborn, being advisory
to the commission appointed by Governor
Cleaves to examine into the best plan for
the new hospital at Bangor, necessarily
has at hand a vast amount of information
and can very readily answer all questions
you may ask.
1t will be remembered that some five
years ago lot of land amounting to 100
acres was purchased at Bangor with the
view of erecting thereon hospital for the
insane in Eastern Maine, and as starter
toward building such an institution, the
last Legislature voted an appropriation OF
$780, 600. Governor Cleaves appointed
upon the commission to look into the
plans, ETC., Hon. Albion Little OF Port

many of the hospitals previously and the

Augusta, June 10, 1895.

Castoria is truly marvellous thing fol-
children Doctors prescribe it. medical
journals recommend it and more than a
million mothers are using 1t in place Of
paragoric, Bateman's Drops, so called
soothing syrups and other narcotic and
supplying remedies. Castoria is the
quickest thing to regulate the stomach
and bowels and give healthy sleep the
world has ever seen. 1t is pleasant to the
taste and absolutely harmless. 1t re-
lieves constipation, quiets pain, cures
diarrhma and wind collie, allays feverish
ness, destroys worms, and prevents con
wilson's, soothes the child and gives II
refreshing and natural sleep. Castoria
is the ohildren's panacea-the mothers
friend.
Castoria is put up in one size bottles
only. 1t is not sold in bulk. Don't al
low any one to sell you anything else on
the plea or promise that it is just as
good and "will answer every purpose.
