The November number of that excel
lent school publication, The Foxcroft
Academy Review, has for its frontispiece
a fine portrait of Foxcroft's distinguished
citizen, Hon. Willis E. Parsons. This
issue also contains an interesting bio
graphical sketch of Mr.. Parsons, who is
the secretary and treasurer of the school S
board of trustees. The principal features
of Mr.. Parsons distinguished public
career are well known throughout the
State, but the Review S sketch is Of especial
interest in that it affords glimpses of Mr..
Parsons early career, his school days,
wherein he displayed those qualities
which have won success in his later
efforts. 1t perhaps isn't generally known
that he made thorough study of archi-
lecture in the leisure hours Of his school life
and that some of the finest residences in
the village of Foxcroft were remodelled or
built from plans which he found pleasure
in drafting for friends during the odd
moments OF very busy professional and
public career. Whatever he undertakes is
done with enthusiasm and thoroughness
and no man takes greater interest in the
affairs of his town and county.
The horse shoe appears to retain all its
tabled good fortune-at least in the Pine
Tree State. A Lewiston man was driving
home one afternoon recently when he es-
spied horse shoe in the street. He
picked it up took it home and hung it in
his stable. That evening he went down
street, rallied for turkeys, and when he
hied himself home again had two plump
birds which weighed % pounds and 50
cents in cash. He will now look for
more horse shoes, and incidentally may go
cunning for turkeys.
1t would crafty other Maine commu-
mites to have the petty thieves and
burglars, who find our country stores and
post offices easy marks, pay visit to
the town of Harrison. Not because the
rest of the State is unduly selfish in this
desire, but because it appears that Harri-
son people are prepared to give these law
breakers warm reception. A recent
dispatch states that the people of that
town being alarmed over the recent
burglaries in adjoining towns have armed
themselves and every man in town, who
has the nerve to take the risk, is sleeping
with revolver under his pillow.

Department OF the Interior.

One of the most gratifying features of
interior, just issued, is that which per-
tains to the management of the Indian
wards of the nation. Secretary Smith
would have it understood that great care
is exercised in the appointment of Indian
agents. We hope this assertion is not a
mere cuphemism. There has been much
wards. The opportunities for maladmin
istration, while not nearly so great as
when the reservations were far removed
from all civilization, are nevertheless too
numerous to be disregarded. 1t is useless
to argue as to the need of the right men
for Indian agents, although the secretary
does it. But he goes still farther in recon-.
inonding that they hold their positions
during good behavior which recommen-
dation, on general principles is good
one. He thinks that the time has arrived
when the classified service should be ex-
tended to the subordinate positions both ut
the agencies and at the schools. We can
imagine conditions where the red tape
incident to such an extension might be
embarrassing. The secretary also recon-
mends instead of one, three Indian COM
missioners, two civilians from different
political parties, and the other detailed
army officer But the most noteworthy
feature is reported increase in the num-
Der of Indians, who have undertaken
farming upon allotted land. All efforts
to make the Indians self supporting
should receive every encouragement and
1t Is gratifying to learn that with proper
exertion on the part of the agents quite
number of the Indians have awaited

supporting themselves by cultivating the

The Masterpiece Of consecratcd Finance.
IN. Y. Sun (Dem.))

One large and luminous fact CLEANS
like major star in the report of Com.
missioner of Internal Revenue Miller.
The magnumopus of MIR. Cleveland as
a raiser of revenue, in other channels, OF
course, than the one constitutional,
Democratic means of tariff for revenue
only, was that sweet plagiarism from the
Populists called the income tax This
just, equitable, and easily borne tax was
the inspiration and the desire of Mr..
Cleveland. He threw away the Demo
cratic platform. He thrust forward the
income tax. Unfortunately for him there
was supreme court that failed to
approve his wonderful financial scheme.
Mr.. C]eveiands administration has
been singularly apt In making deficits.
Mr.. Miller's report shows with what zeal
and what success the great third term
Populist applied himself to the task OF
collecting the Populist tax.
The commissioner of internal revenue
spent SOL 900 in the process Of collecting
$77, 900 of income tax. The ST., 900 will
have to be refunded. 1t is generally ad
mitted by Mr.. Cleveland admirers that
he is one of the great lights of finance.

DR.. WEST ACQUITTED
OF the Charge of nurdering Addie Gilmour
Late Testimony

OF the Charge Of nurdering Addie Giimour
Late Testimony
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26.-In the trial of
DR.. West for the murder of Addie Gilmour,
today, Or. West took the stand in his own
behalf and testified that criminal opera
ton on the girl had been performed by
some one before she came to him. The
girl had been sent to him by DR.. w. A.
Harvey. The witness said he had given
the girls body to DR.. A. S. Tuchler for dis
secting purposes, and TuchIer had after
wards said he had cut up the body and
thrown it into the bay.
The jury returned verdict of not guilty.
Now that DIR. West has been acquitted,
DR.. Tuchler, to whom West gave the body
of Addie Gilmore, partially corroborates
the story. TuchIer says that West called
on him at midnight and asked his assist
ance in dissecting the body of young
woman. He declined, but offered to take
the head. which West gave to him. He
wrapped it in wire gauze and put it in the
water off Lime point, where it was found,
in order that the action of the salt water
might remove the fest. When asked why
he had not come forward and testified to
this at the trial, Tuchler said he considered
it none of his business. Before West was
acquitted Tuchler denied all connection
with the case, and said he would go on the
stand and deny it.
DIR. Harvey, who West says sent the girl
to him, still denies that he had anything to
do with it.
