LARGE RUGS.

The fine ones-the soft, lustrous,
silken ones are radiant with brilliant
colorings of subdued sort, those at
$500 and $4,000 each are conspicuously
lovely; you rarely find their equal for
beauty. Our large Smyrna rugs, begin
ming at $25, are worthy of examination,
while the Japanese rugs cannot be ex-
celled for goodness and low prices.

Mr.. E. A. Moseley, the secretary of the
Interstate commerce commission, who
has : just returned from a trip to the
Pacific coast, thinks the strength of the
free coinage sentiment in the West is
greatly underestimated in the East.
West of the Missouri he saw only one
man who was not in favor of free coin
age at the ratio of 16 to l. One day
while Mr.. Mosely was in Denver ex-Con-
gresham Sibley and Gen. A. j. Warner
spoke from the Capitol steps to a crowd
that filed the whole space in front. Be-
fore the speaking began young lady
sang a song, the refrain of which began,
We'll hang the gold bugs" the tune
being the same as that to which during
the war WIS sung the words, "We'll
hang the traitors" and the enthusiasm
of the multitude rs the words rang out
was comparal 10 to nothing the country
has experienced since the days of 1861 -65
When Sibley spoke the entire crowd was
with him; there were neither Demo-
Gratis nor Republicans, but all silver
men, who unanimously approved every
thing he said. In sleeping car coming
out of St. Louis there were ten gentle
men and six of them Mr.. Mosely says
were reading Coins Financial School,
and reading it as though they deemed it
gospel truth.

A Novel Theory.

The French physician, Chibret, is one of
the recent recruits in cycling, and writing
n the Revue SGieLtifique he brings out
sever al unique ides regarding the cyclist
and his work in propulsion. ne de-
monstrates in the article referred to that
the attitude of he body on the wheel is
that of quadruped rather than a hi ped,
and is therefore marveIously we'll adapted
to the Accomplishment of a maximum OF
effort with a minimum of fatigue.
This position and the action which accom-
panies it are essentially restfuI. While
all the weight, standing or walking, rests
upon two points Of support. which con-
duces to fatigue. thetcyelist is supported at
five: the two arms, the two feet, and the
saddle. AniMa Is WHO do not tire nearly SO
quick as men, are borne ON four points;
they are thus at a disadvantage as COM
pared with the eyclist.
On the wheel the body acts as whole;
the arms guiding and supporting. the back
keeping the equiffbriu 10. and the legs work
ing. At the same time the muscular effort
accelerates the respiration, and causes an
entire clearing out of the lungs.

There seems to be no room to doubt
that japan has yielded to the rep
RESERVATIONS of Russia. Germany and
France to The extent of renouncing the
permanent occupation of Manchuria and
Port Arthur. In consideration of this
Japan will get an increase of money in
demnity from China and perhaps some
other things. Probably Japan has done
wisely to submit, for a contest with
Russia would be of uncertain result, and
if she lost she would lose great deal OF
the prestige gained in the war with China.
She can better afford to wait, and while
perfecting herself in the arts of peace
and war, hide her time. Elated by their
victories there was a great temptation
for tue japanese to defy the powers
rather than submit to any cutting down
of her claims, and it is great credit
to Japanese craftsmanship that it was
not led away by it. Japan has made
wonderful strides in the last quarter OF
century, but she is yet hardly up to the
level of any of the great Europeran pow
ers.

How to Get Rich.

Maj. Moses p. Handy tells of business

elusive of salaries of $4,000 and Sa5. 600
drawn by two members of the firm. Ten

and is now one of the nillionaires of New
York. Without newspaper advertising

but it WIS advertising that made me rich.

by investing $4,000 year in newspaper

These are only specimen bricks of the enor-
nous profits realized from shrewd news

The rascally steal of the governship by
the Democrats of the Tennessee legis-
lation is condemned by the Nashville
Banner, Democratic organ, in quite as
severe terms as by the Repu blicans. Here
is what it on the subject:
"The wrong that was perpetrated last
night by the joint assem- bly, IT. the name
Of Democracy was done in the face of earn
est protest of the overwhelming majority
of Democrats in Tennessee 1t is fact
beyond all question that the mars of the
Democracy and the best and prevailing
sentiment Of the party in this State is
emphatically opposed to the partisan ac-
tlon taken by misguided majority of
the Democratic mem bers of the General
Assembly in this contest, and the indig-
nation expressed in this city this morn
ing over the indefensible action which
oyerturns the peoples election for Gov
ernor is but an earnest of the general
condemnation throughout the State.
The Democracy of the State condemn
this action, and they will in due time
and in "a proper manner manifest that
condemn nation by rebuking those who
have misrepIesented the people of the
party"
A piece of rascality SO bad that the
Bourbon Democrats of Southern State
condemn it must be very bad indeed.

There has been an unusually large
number of fishermen killed on the banks
of Newfoundland this year by being run
down in the night time by steamships.
The majority of them were French from
ST. Pierre and Miquelon. 1t appears that
of the great Atlantic steamships. and
the danger has become SO great that the
fishermen have petitioned the French
government to use its influence to in
duce the steamships to take a more
soutberly route.

Deliverable and payable on or before
June LIST, 1895.
Price los and interest yielding net
return of about A per cent? subject to
advance without notice.
These bonds are dated May list, 1893,
payable without option twenty years af-
ter date, with interest at al per cent
per annum, payable semi-annually on
the first days of May and November;
principal and interest payable in United
States gold coin of the present standard
of weight and fineness.
Of the total authorized mortgage,
$50. 600 bonds are already outstanding,
and 100000 will now be issued for
equipping the whole system with cleo
tricity; of this $500, 900, we shall receive
for delivery $50, 900 on or before June
1st, which are advertised herewith; we
shall offer no move of the bonds until
August, 1895.
The charter of the Railroad was
granted in 1860, and is perpetual. This
mortgage is first lien on all the fran
chises, rights and property Gncluding
real estate and equipment) situated in
the Cities of Portland, Deering and
Westbrook.
The length of track is 20.14 miles,
making the bonded indebtedness less
than 1000 per mile.
The earnings for 1894 were as fol-
lows
Gross, S2O7. $50. 20
Expenses and taxes, 1859, 979. Is
Net, $37,572. 42
Interest, 1922. "a
Surplus, $28, 950.OS
1t will lie noticed first, that the operat-
ing expenses, which included new cars,
motors, snow plough, mile new
track, ETC., were over so per cent of the
gross earnings, and secoud, that the net
earnings were sufficient to pay the in
terest on bonds then outstanding, plus
this new block of 1920, 200, t,uice ouer
1t is conservatively estimated that the
increase in. earnings and decrease in ex-
penses (due to electricity will be at
least sufficient to pay interest on the
whole Indebtedness, additional to the
present large earnings.
The capital stock is $500, 900, which sells
in the home market at 115 to 120 and
pays per cent dividends. The surplus
is over $4,000.
An experts estimate of the savings to
~ tuO Aodu, ny mdkiuS tuo cndnge 10
electricity in 1895. over what the same
would have cost in 1892, is at least $50, 900,
due to present low prices of rails, motors
cars, etc.
These bonds are legal investment for
Maine Savings Banks, $175,0O0 of those
outstanding being now owned by the
Portland Savings Bank.
We feel fully justified in recommend
ing them as particularly choice invest
ment, returning better income than
any other home security of similar
standing.

Here's glowing appeal from Georgia
Democratic journal ON behalf of free
coinage:
All who have no dollars in their
pocket, but are in favor. of having a gold.
silver, paper, pewter or any ether kind
of dollar, stand up and be counted.
Jerusalem! There are SO many we
haven't got time to count them. Good.
Now, take your tickets and vote for
American money and American indie
pendence, MS our forefathers did in 1776
Let's dissolve the Cleveland & Carlisle
Rothschild British bankers partnership
at the next election.
The burden of his plea is that free
coinage will put money in pockets of the
people. If the free coinage people will
only accompany this promise with suffi-
cieLt sureties to make it good beyond
peradventure they can get pretty near
ly unanimous vote for their policy.
