At meeting of the president and
directors of the Waterville Y. M. C. A,
a letter was presented by the general
secretary, G. A. Mathews, in which he
rendered his resignation to take effect
April 1st. There We're many kind re-
marks by all present and then the resigna-
ton was accepted. Mr.. Mathews has been
secretary for three years and under his
supervision the association has done good
work and enjoyed period of general
prosperity. Everything has been very
pleasant between the secretary and the
other officers and members. The reason
of Mr. Mathews resignation is that he has
lately received a call from the Maine
Missionary Society to travel and do Cos
pei work among the Congregational
churches of the State. In this capacity
he will still maintain his residence in this
city but will be away from here the
greater portion OF the time. While Mr.
Mathews successor has not yet been
elected, Mr. Arthur Craig is mentioned
as the most prominent candidate.

Id Fashioned
Once Used, they are Always in Favor.

Assist Nature a little now and then, with
a gentle, cleansing laxative, thereby renov-
ing offending matter from the stomach and
bowels, toning up and invigorating the liver
and quickening its tardy action, and you
thereby remove the cause of multitude of
distressing diseases, such as headaches, in
digestion, or dyspepsia, biliousness, pim-
pies, blotches, eruptions, boils, constipa-
ton, piles, fstula and 1naladies too numer-
Gus to mention.
If people would pay more attention to
properly regulating the action of their
bowels, they would have less frequent
occasion to call for their doctors ser
vices to subdue attacks of dangerous dis
eases.
That, of all known agents to accomplish
this purpose, DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
are unequaled, is proven by the fact that
once used, they are always in favor. Their
secondary effect is to keep the bowels open
and regular, not to further constpate, as is
the case with other pills. Hence, their great
popularity, with sufferers from habitual
constipation, piles and indigestion.
They absolutely cure sick headache, bill
business, constipation, coated tongue, poor
appetite, dyspepsia and kindred derange-
ments of the stomach, liver and bowels.
A free sample of the "Pe1lets," "a to 7
doses) on trial, is mailed to any address,

LIBEL AND SANDER.

In our Literary Department to-day
most recent work on the law of libel and
slander. It will repay for the reading.
The work under review is small, COM
pact and written so that the layman can
as fully understand and discuss the SUBJ
jeet as the lawyer. 1t is by all odds the
most valuable contribution of modern
times TO this important subject, and the
work ought therefore to receive the at
tention of all thinking men.
In brief it proceeds upon the estab-
lished fact that our country, so abreast
with progress and civilization in their
best developments, is in the matter of
libel and SANDER laws, far behind in the
race. We are clinging to old common
law doctrines and forms that were erected
in a period when the scheme Of govern
ment was to repress free speech, and
when the free press was an unknown
quantity. 1t makes clear that we have
accepted the common law doctrine with
out improving upon it by adopting sys-
TENS and principles born of the right of
man to govern themselves, and that have
been in several respects adopted into the
law systems of England, the home of the
common law.
While the review in our columns is
but an outline of the work in hand, yet we
venture 10 say that it will give our read
ers pretty good idea of the book, and
the character of the compilation and
treatise, and very fairly and quite fully
presents the suggestions Of the author, as
to what amendments our laws should
have, to make them conform to the spirit
OF the age and the era of free speech, a
free press, and of news gathering and
dissemination.

THERE are mon now living who can re-
member that when it was proposed to pave
streets in cities and make street ways
smooth, swift of passage and easy the
people declared such proposition pre-
posterous and extravagant, and cried
out that the scheme would bankrupt the
taxpayers; that there was neither need
nor economy in the proposed improve
ment. Yet to-day the city that refuses
to pave and improve its streets is looked
upon as behind the age, wasteful and
foolish. It is much so with the road sys-
tenn. What the people need is educa-
ton regarding roads and road methods,
very much such as was given concern
ing streets.

JOHN DOE AND HIS LAssO

They Were the Cause of a Chinaman
Being Injured.
John Doe was arrested yesterday by
Officer Fitzgerald on a warrant charging
him with malicious mischief. John Doe
is Deputy Poundmaster and an expert
in the science of casting the lasso.
On Thursday afternoon, in company
with another deputy raid was made on
the outcast and untaxed CANNES of the
city. While business was brisk Mr.. Doe
attended to it strictly, but when the
news Of the raid became generally
known In canine circles. and it seemed an
lmpossibility to capture any more un-
suspecting animals, the deputy, to keep
his hand in, cast his lasso over the neck
of horse that was attached to Chinese
vegetable peddler's wagon.
When the rope tightened on the horse
the animal took fright and ran away. At
the corner Of Seventh and G. streets the
wagon colIided with a telegraph post,
and the driver was thrown to the ground
and suffered a severe confusion of the
hip and sprained ankle.

ASSEMBLY Bill 800 ought to pass. 1t is
a committee "wide tire'' bill. Scarcely a
better bill, viewed from an economic
standpoint, has been before the Legis-
lature. 1t is a bill that was advised by
the State Road Convention, that body
which one of the legislators has seen fit
to stigmatize as lot of cranks. These
cranks represented some thirty counties
of the State. They embraced some thirty
gentlemen who have served terms in the
Legislature, some who now fill offices of
high trust, some who are leading men in
the foremost Agricultural Associations,
some who came from the State Univer-
sity, others from Boards of Trade and
commercial bodies. A very large num-

The Supreme Court of this State has
been at it again. This body of jurists
must have bit put in it's mouth; it has
dared to rebuke another attorney, and to
impose fine upon an appellant for the
benefit of respondent, for prosecuting a
frivolous appeal. 1t has dared to inter-
pose the dignity of the State between the
indecency Of litigant who was using
State process for purposes of delay only,
and the right of the people to have ntiga-
ton discouraged and their tribunals re-
spected. Attorney Stephens having been
sharply repuked, and Attorney Phil
brook who has been boxed and sent to do
penance can now clasp hands and buckle
to" in the effort to have the Legislature
declare by Act that our courts shall be
free targets for cranks, anarchists, petit
foggers and conscienceless attorneys to
throw mud upon. 1t is soberly proposed
that attorneys may lampoon the courts,
treat them with contempt, write into
court records the most scandalous matter,
abuse, threaten and browbeat Judges,
and prosecute frivolous appeals, and the
courts must stand it; that any vulgar
rascals who choose to assail the people
tribunals shall go unwhipt, unless they
are hailed before jury and tried and
convicted of something that is not de-
fined by the statute books as a crime, nor
otherwise outside of the provisions which
empower the courts to punish for con-
tempt. The Philbrooks in their con-
temptuous acts receive the applause and
the sympathy of the anarchists, radical
socialists and chronic disturbers, who are
of the same kidney as the crew that
shouted in Haymarket Square, down
with the law p' ''Stab the laww "Vive
Panarchie ~ They are of the same sort
that met in San Francisco recently and
passed resolutions denouncing the Su-
preme Court for that, which every citizen
who has the honor of his country at heart

THE Massachusetts Highway Commits
sion has just filed it's report for the year
1894. It is document that demonstrates
immense saving to the people through
the work of the commission. The press
and people of the old Bay State are lift
ing up common voice in praise of the
wisdom that established this bureau,
and through which true economy in
road matters has been introduced into
State policy, and so great saving has
been effected. 1t was in Massachusetts

A MIDNIGHT VISITOR.
Every Mother Should BE Prepared to
Battle with Croup-The Best Remedy.


(FTom the Providence, K. l., Telegram.)
What word carries more terror to a
mother than Group, that insidious visitor
who steals upon her children at night when
drug stores are closed and physicians not
within reach Group does its deadly work
quick, and if not met at the outset with
stringent methods is almost sure to prove
conqueror. Every mother should keep
remedy where she can reach it at the first
ominous bark. 1t has been truly said that
bottle of Perry Davis Pain-Killer on the
medicine shelf insures greater safety from
such ills than would doctor in your house,
Pain-killer was the chief remedy of our
grandfathers and with all the advances ofsci-
encenothing has been found to take its place.
For Group it is without an equal. An
instance of this was yesterday cited to a
reporter by Mrs. ]. B. G. Hoskins, of No.
80 Marion Street, the wife of one of the
sturdy wheelwrights of Providence, R. I.
Nobody knows the anxiety, the torture
Of mind l have experienced because of
Group. Hours Of sleep | have lost while
watching at the bedside of my boy, who has
suffered almost thousand deaths from
Group in its worst form. / tried every
remedy that kind friends could suggest
All failed me, and l was in despair. Pain
Killer finally conquered the terrible disease
My boy is now seven years old, and whenever
] see that Group is returning give Pain
Killer. In twenty minutes the trouble is
over and we both go to sleep.
"Pain-Killer? Why / Wouldn't be with
out it in my house a moment for a kings
ransom. | feel as though it cured my 90
year old son of bronchitis after all other
remedies failed, and it saved me the prob
able loss Of limb from a broken artery,
caused by the kick of vicious horse.
Pain-Killer at once reduced the swelling
and prevented blood-poisoning."

RIVERSIDE COUNTY has just adopted a
wide-tire ordinance, to prevent the de-
struction of new roads the county will
build. That is well; but we fear it will
be ineffective until there is general law
on the subject. Placer has wide-tire
ordinance also, but il is sleeping, because
wagons of narrow tires belonging in ad-
joining counties roll into Placer and cut
up the roads the wide tires make, hence
the Placerites do not feel it 10 be Just to
enforce law upon their own which the
stranger may violate with impunity. So
it will be in Riverside. There is a wide
tire bill before the Legislature, and it has
a favorable committee report. But the
bill simply gives the Supervisors power
to pass ordinances on the subject, The
bill may as well pass as an educational
measure; were it obligatory, however,
there would be great virtue in it. 1t is
possible that under it some counties NAV
be encouraged to adopt the ordinance to-
wards which the bill looks; but genera
law, to take effect two years hence, is
what the late Road Convention advised,

Adjutant-G General Allen has counter

because there is at present a measure be-

THERE are men still living VINO re-

is vividly recalled to memory by the
amazing statement of ex-Sheriff O'Neil
under oath in the striker trial at San
Francisco that there was no time last
July when he could not control the mob;
that there was only a good-natured and
tractable crowd in the depot, and that
there was no violence, and no need to call
on the military. At the time referred to
there was big crowd Of turbulent
strikers in the depot, and the Sheriff had
been engaged in the task of inducing
them to disperse. Finding sod would
not bring the boy out of the apple tree,
he did spunk up courage to try stones.
So he mounted upon the steps of car
and shouted as best he could. SIN the
name of the People of the State oil
California, I command you to disperse
and to 60 to your homes" Where
upon the crowd, which the Sheriff
deemed unlawful enough to justify read
ing the riot act to, set up a mighty roar
and shouted, Three cheers for Tom
ONeil," and Immediately rushed across
the yard and proceeded to kill another
engine Mr.. O'Neil reflected.
