burst of applause greeted The announce
ment. When the name of keegan OF Van
Buren,, who shares with Mr.. Dickey the

plause.
STILL. THEY COME.
The begging letters which trouble the
lives of men of great wealth are paralleled
in the demands which are being made on
the state treaury at this session. By this it
is not meant that the objects for which as
sistance is asked are mol worthy, but If all
OF them receive the AID they desire, there
will be a great outflow from the state trea-
sury. Here are today's addition to the
list:
A resolve in favor of the Children's Aid
society of Maine, presented by Mr.. Little
field of Belfast. appropriates the sum of
$4,000 to be used in esta blishing b ONE for
