Judge Clark Grants a Suspension OF His
Sentence.
Judge Clark, of the Circuit Court,
granted an application to-day (Fri-
day. to suspend the sentence of
John B. Clendenin and admitted
him to bail until after the Circuit
Court shall hear the case. This is
not decision upon the merits of
the case, but to suspend the execu-
ton of the Observation-Disclosures
Journal.
That practical philosopher, Mr..
Chauncey Depew, in speaking of
the late Secretary Gresham as a
victim of overwork, thus pointed
the moral:
1 have learned from observation
that three things surely happen to
a man who works steadily without
relaxation. In the first place, he
becomes nervous, irritable and hard
to get along with. In the second
place, the grade of his work falls off,
and he is liable to err in his iudg-
ment. In the third place, he dies
suddenly. 1t is an incontrovertible
law of nature.

There are evidences of a revival
of those swindling schemes where
by people who have not much
money are induced to invest q small
amount monthly in the expectation
of drawing out three or four times as
much as they put in, at the end of
few years. 1t seems only yesterday
that the papers were filed with re-
ports of the collapse of scores of
these institutions, yet the schemes
are being worked over again. 1t
takes a pretty large share of the
columns of a newspaper to warn
gudgeons against swindlers.

to use a car which is not provided
with secure graOlrons or hand
holds in the ends and sides of each

the second requires after July LIST
the use of freight cars which comply
with the standard hight of drawbar,
which was required to be fixed by
the American Railway Association
within ninety days from the pass
age of the act. The nights of the
drawbar were fixed at thirty -four

for all cars to be provided with au-

Disturbing a School.

Il
Thursday afternoon Thomas J. Riley,
10 years old, and Edward Burke, 13 years
old, went to the Chestnut street school,
house. while the school was in session
and made considerable disturbance. Riley
threw sticks and cucumber into the
window, spit tobacco juice on the glas-
ana used indecent language when the
teacher ordered him away. He then went
to another window and repeated the per-
Torrance, to the annoyance Of another
teacher. Burke did not take an active
part in the disturbance, but enjoyed the
fun while it lasted. Yesterday morning
both boys were before Judge Robinson.
1t appeared that Burke is under bonds
on a charge Of breaking into the store OF
Mr.. Robinson some days ago. He is q
nephew of old Mr.. Burke, the blind man
who sells mats on Congress street. Judge
Robinson fined the boys five dollars each
and divided the costs. Their parents paid
the fines and will doubtless keep closer
watch on the boys than before.

Points In Celery Culture.

Tt is we'll known that the celery plant
delights in a rich and moist soil, and
those who have the opportunity to use
liquid manure in the cultivation of this
plant have great advantage over 9th
ers. In addition to this, some cultivat-
ors who grow the celery for market are
introducing water artifcially, and find
it to be profitable practice. In this
connection Meehan's Monthly cites a
grower in Allegheny City, Pa, who has
a supply pipe from one of the city water
mains SO arranged that at the end
where the flow commences guano or
some other artificial fertilizer can be
placed in the water pipes. He can get
double the crop from the same ground
as by the ordinary methods, and stalks
that bring much higher price in mar

Boston's Women Oppose the Extension of
Municipal Suffrage.

Boston, September 20.-The Massachu-
setts association opposed to the extension
of suffrage to women sent out a manifesto
relating to tho vote which is to be taken
in November upon the question of grant,
ing municipal suffrage to women:
To the people of Massachusetts
The Wellman bill enacted by the last
legislature, gives an opportunity to all
men and all women. qualified to vote for
members of school committees, to express
in November their opinion on the
question, sis it expedient that municipal
suffrage be granted to womenr Ihis
bill is not rightly called referendum,
for it proposes no change in our laws, but
provides merely for the expression OF
opinion by vote. Its practical result will
be its influence on future legislatures
We urge the duty upon all women to in
terest themselves in this question and aid
the formation of the right public opinion
thereupon we call upon all men voters
TO justify the present suffrage status by
an overwhelming ono" at the polls in
November. We do not urge women
opposed to further extension OF suffrage
to vote. We affirm that the burden OF
proof rests with the suffragists. We de-
clare the silence of our sex at the polls
will not mean consent, but opposition or
indifference. we uuu udHBlUl6 pfUOl bIlbb
the women Of this State do not desire the
ballot in their general indifference to
school suffrage, which failed to rouse
their zeal and interest during many years
of it's existence, while some time before
such suffrage was established, the
yalua BILE services of women on school
boards were secured by votes of men. We
believe extension to women OF municipal
suffrage would be danger to the State
for which no compromising advantages
are shown. We believe the present
division of labor and responsibility be-
tween the sexes to be founded on reason
and on the laws of nature. While freely
admitting the higher standard OF
patriotic and civic duty is needed by both
men and women, we affirm our belief it
must be brought about by an advance in
civilization and education and that this
advance would be impeded rather than
helped, by complications resulting
from municipal suffrage for women

Borax as g Fruit preservative.

Here is what Rural New Yorker says
of it: A borax producer in California is
said to be experimenting with this sub
stance as a fruit preservative. The fresh
fruit is to be packed in barrels with the
powdered borax. A shipment Of cherries
packed in this way reached Chicago in
"prime condition" This is far more
honest than it is to buy cents worth
Of borax. mix it with little salt, sugar,
etc., name it 9Preservaine, and sell
it for 80 cents, but it will not prove
profitable. Borax should not be used on
fruit just before it is to be eaten. While
it will undoubtedly keep the fruit in a
fresh condition, it is injurious to health,
and the health boards in large cities
where fruit is sold will surely prohibit
it's use.

Something About a Disappearance.

There was story around town this
past week that a young woman had
suddenly and mysteriously disappeared.
This young woman was said to be Almira
Leveque, French woman, about 26 years
old, who worked at the Globe Steam
Laundry on Temple street. The story
was that she had been receiving atten-
tions from young man in Westbrook
and had suddenly refused to receive the
man and favored somebody else. Last
Monday she left her home as usual
presumably to go to work, and wearing
her ordinary clothes. She did not appear
at the laundry or at her home, where she
had left all her best clothing and belong

What Biddeford People Interested Have

N. B. Walker, treasurer of the local

of the shareholders were not well looked

spite of the suspicious tone Of the bank

The Granite State has had rather a
stormy time IN Maine. 1t is considered
by it's members that it owes the opposlt-
ion to the effort of local associations Of
a similar nature to keep national asso-
Citations out of tho field. The Granite
State is the only national association OF
the kind to gain foothold in Maine,
and it was only able to do SO after q
most stubborn fight. 1t was persistent to
the point of shipping its books from the
home office in Manchester to Portland
and taking legal proceedings to COM
pei the bank examiner, Mr.. Bisbee, to
examine it's standing. The best experts
were called in to assist in this exami-
nation and then the standing of the
company was obliged to be pronounced
all right.
1t is claimed that Bank Examiner

succeeded also in the latter's prejudice

to drive it out of Maine.
The reason for the opposition of local
associations is said to be that by the

RoFoRM SCHOOL NOTES.
How the Runaways Were Captured Other
Facts.

The two boys who ran away from the
that same evening. They run away in
the morning and hid in the woods all
day and were not discovered despite the
vigorous search that was made for them.
At about five O'Clock that afternoon
two men named johnson and O'Neil
were driving at point from Stroudwater
on the Buxton road when they saw two
small boys who were running along the
road toward Buxton and occasionally
looking behind them as if fearful OF
pursuit They were dressed only in a
shirt and trousers, having no coat Mr..
johnson recognized them Immediately as
Reform School boys running away. He
told them to stop and started in pursuit.
They were captured without much diff
GUILTY and did not seem wholly eager to
escape. The night was coming on, they
were but thinly clad and it was quite
cold. They were taken back to the Re-
form School and Mr. johnson was suit
ably rewarded.
The older Of the boys, Colburn, WHO
lives in Vinalhaven, was "trusted." or
first class boy. He was thus given special
privileges and freedom and had no diff
Guilty in running away. The other boy
who was younger, had been given a
special freedom that day and so was able
to run away also.
Cplburn is about Is years of age. He
had done we'll and so because trusted
boy. The highest grade is the next above
this, the s'honor'' grade, which, of
course, opens the door for dismissal.
When asked why he ran away Coiburn
simply said that he didn't know Now
he will have to go back to the third class
grade, in which there is no liberty. 1t
will take at least a year for him to reach
the '9trusted" grade again.
There are now 1853 boys at the Reform
School. This is larger than the average
number usually is. Since the cottage
system has been introduced their parents
have more generally approved OF the Re
form School as a place to send their In
corrigible boys. Hence the increase of
numbers. Yesterday one of the boys was
dismissed and sent home, having steadily
passed up through the grades and won
his release by good conduct. This boy is
