\ commencement orator said recently
The ignorant citizen is the source of
danger. The ignorant citizen, however,
is not the only one who belongs to the
dangerous class. The very intelligent
but very Indifferent should be put on
the dangerous list. Their responsibility
is greater and influence wider, eonse-
quently the harm they do is increased
in like proportion, The ignorant are
not always responsible for their igno-
rance but the intelligent are always
RESPONSIBLE for their Indifference.

Patrick, in answer to an advertise
ment for coachman, applied for the
position. He was one of three appli-
cants, and patiently waited until his
turn arrived to offer his services. The
gentleman who wanted the coachman
loved a joke, and when the first appli-
cant had answered "A few of his ques-
tioLs. he iinally asked him,
How near TO the edge of precipice
would you undertake to drive my car
riage?"
~ our Honor, Id come within foot
of it "
The same question was put to the
second applicant, who replied,
"fll drive within three inches of it all
the way, and never slip Wheel
PATRICK was then asked what he
would do. Faith, your Honor, I'd
kape as far away from the idge as pos
sible." Patrick was engaged. -Har-

"a Secretary Twitchell. of the Maine
State Agricultural Society says that the
Maine State Fair this year will be un-
equalled in the history of the society.
Que of its features will be a complete
exhibit of Maine fish from one of our
largest hatcheries, covering several
years growth, and showing a number
of varieties. There will be a floral
parade, coaching parade and farmers
parade. The floral parade will he
larger, finer and more complete than
than last year. The coaching parade
will be Of nature different from any
thing Of the kind ever seen in Maine.
IT will consist of English carts, traps.
drags, wagonettes, etc, with trappings
and harnesses, all of English design and
make, something never before seen in
Maine. The farmers parade will con-
sist of farm wagons decorated with farm
products in variety, to be arranged and
conducted by the grangers. This is
something entirely new. The fair takes
place the first week in September.

HAVE A NEW SCHEME.
Financial Legislation Through One Of the
Appropriation Bills.

Financial Legislation Through One Of the
Appropriation Bills.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-There is posi-.
bility of an effort to secure financial legis.
tutIon in the senate through an amend.
ment to one of the appropriation bills to
be acted upon by the committee on appro.
priations. A canvass of the senate which
has been made during the past ten days
or two weeks has convinced the leaders on
both sides of the chamber that the conflict
between the silver and the bond men ren.
ders it next to impossible to secure the
passage Of any independent financial Oh
currency measure. They have therefore
quietly taken up this scheme of securing
the needed legislation by adding the nee
essary provisions to one of the bills pro-
viding for the regular annual appropria.
tions
1t is understood that the Republican
senator's would not oppose an amendment
which simply granted authority for an
issue of bonds. They say that il it be.
comes absolutely necessary. to provide ad-
ditional money for the government ex-
penditures and for the maintenance of the
gold reserve. the Democrats can provide
it by agreeing to n bond amendment
without weighting it down with other
questions, and that a majority of the Re
publicans will accept it in this shape but
will not permit it to go through if coupled
with either silver legislation or the re-
peal of the state bank tax.

BROOKLYN, Jan. 23-The first fatal &C.
encounter Of the great strike took place
about IL O'Clock last night, when in an
encounter with a few boys at the Halsey
street of the Brooklyn City Railway com
pany station volley was fired
by tie militia. Henry Ahnes,
Of New York city, was fatally
shot, musket ball entering his
mouth and passing through his head.
Another man, whose name is Williams,
was wounded in the arm. The shooting
had the effect of dispensing the mob.
Matters About as They Were.
Tho ninth day OF the tie-up has closed
without bringing material change in the
situation. 1t has been day Of alarming
rumors, which fortunately proved to have
slight or no foundation. There were be-
tween daybreak and nightfall numerous
brushes between the police and militia on
one side and the strikers or headstrong,
law-defying sympathizers with their cause
on the other.
Lineman's Strike Called or an On.
The linemen's strike, which was to
have tied up the trolley lines more ef-
fcctually than had been done by the strike
of motormen, conductors, and other EN-
ployes, was called off before it was fairly
ON, and later in the day the mandate of
Master Workman Connolly was promul-
gated calling upon the linemen to aban-
don their situations again this morning.

call the linemen's strike off thus quickly
and then to order it on again cannot now

Papers, Connolly Says.
BROOKLYN, Jan. 23-Master Work man
Connolly has ordered the linemen out He
says that this action has been necessitated
by the action of the soldiers at o'clock i'm
the afternoon, when n company of the
Seventh regiment surrounded the hall mt
the corner of Myrtle avenue and Palmetto
street. a squad entered the hall and seized
the books and papers Of the local assembly
which has its headquarters there. Con-
nelly reports thatthe troops have been
withdrawn and the police have been put
in charge Of the hall. He says this is the
the reason for the strike Of the linemen,
and adds that he was the one who sent the
lincmen back yesterday after they had
struck. He now has countermanded the
order. Connolly thinks the men in charge
Of the assembly hall have been arrested by
the police.
Connelly's statement is denied BY both
police and military. Major Abrahams
said: Il most emphatically deny that any
soldier entered Odd Fellows hall. As q
matter of precautian 1 ordered the doors

them locked until the last car returned

by my men, ard rs soon as the pickcts

out as they pleased. There is positively
no foundation whatever for the sensa-
tional story given publicity by Mr. Con-

The day had no very exciting incidents
until ) y. NJ, when cars were started on
the Gates avenue line. Two shots were
fired. one by a policeman and another by
a National guardsnan to enforce the or

first car, piece of fircbrick from the in

but did not injure any of the occupants of
the cars. Nineteen cars were started from
Ridgewood, and they all ma de the round

INDICATIONS OF DEADLOCK.
Minnesota Legislature Votes for Senator
without Result

/
ST. PAUL, Jan. s3-The first ballot in
the legislature on the United States sena-
torship was cast at noon by the two
houses in separate session, there being no
choice. In the house the vote resulted:
W. D. Washburn, Rep, 81; Knute Nell
son, hep, 10; ;. e. COmstock, Rep, 10;
McHale, Dem, y; Ignatius Dopnelly,
Pop, Z; ]. T. McCleary, Rep, Z; ]. A.
Tawney, Rep, l; Judge Buckham, Rep,
l. In the senate the vote was: Wash
burn, y; Nelson, Il; Donnelly, ); Com
stock, 3; McHale, 2; McClearly, l; C. A.
Pillsbury, Rep, 1; William Mitchell.
Dem, l; ID. A. Dickinson, Rep, l.
1t was not expected that the ballot for
United states senator would be decisive,
although gains We're claimed BY the lead
ing candidates. The result of the ballot
shows loss of one from Washburn and a
gain OF two for Nelson as compared with
the last ballot in last weeks caucus.
However, the Democrats and Populists
voted for members of their own party,
while they are expected to divide some at
least OF their strength between the Re-
publican candidate later in the contest.
No action has yet been taken looking
to another caucus and none is expected to
be held at this time Nelson forces are
very confident and state that they will
not only stay in the fight, but that they
fully expect to win. The Washburn peo-
pie are not SO confident of success, but
will not admit their defeat, and say they
are in the fight to the end Ex-Congress-
man Comstock held his caucus strength
and seems to be regarded favorably by
many in both the Nelson and Washburn
camps, but Congressman McClcary lost
two votes Of his caucus strength and
seems less confident than heretofore. The
present indications arc for a deadlock
more or less prolonged.
