Again the sidewalks in front of the
windows of Hooper, Son & leighton g
great store are crowded TO OVERLOOKING by
the hundreds who are determined TO get
a chance to see and ENJOY the wonderful
scenes therein displayed. These windows
are always the talk of the passers-oy. but
never before have they or any other New
England windows known presented any
such beautiful pictures as those now ex-
hibited.
The eastern window contains the
scene entitled "Christmas at the CASTLE I"
and it is carried out to surprising perfeo-
tion. The grand old castle with its
moss covered walls, surrounded by drifts
of dazzling snow, it's drive way up which
old Santa is seen coming with his four
reindeer, and the trees and frozen surface
of the pond, from part Of this scene,
which is made lively and gay and bright
by the lights cleaning from the windows
Of the castle in Ahe open door of which
stands the lady of the castle, and by the
presence of the children who can be seen
inside dancing about the Christmas tree.
Another pleasant feature is the banquet
hall of the castle seen through the wall
which has been cut out. where the bride
and groom and their guests also await
the coming of "Santa Claus.'
But yet the western window must be
considered even better, and this window
is truly a wonderful production. 1t sure
| ly seems as if one looked into real land
scape while standing before it. Here is
"Little Red Riding Hood" on her way
with butter and eggs for her "grandma."
Here is seen the old grandma in her
| little old cottage in the midst Of the
Forest and the real trees, the messy
ground. the babbling and glittering cas-
cade, the delicate ferns over the waters
edge, the gray old rocks, the pretty birds
| lying about, and the little white rabbits
rum ng among the bushes, the earnest
and innocent looking face of the little
girl and the hungry looking old wolf, all
unite to make a picture that sends a
thrill of delight and wonder through the
all who witness it.
Truly the public can we'll afford to be
loyal to a house who are SO willing to go
to 30 much expense and effort to give
them pleasure. Justice demands that
they be accorded the praise due for this
their nat ST striking and successful effort

TO AID THE CUBANs.
Foxcroft Man May Accept Captains
Commission.
A Eoxcroft despatch to the Bango

A Foxcroft despatch to the Bangor
Comm e-cial Says:
1t has just come to light here that O
prominent business man of Foxcroft is
in correspondence with Senior Thomas
Estrada Palma, the head Of the Cuban
Junta in New York city, and is working
upon some plans byzw hich he may assist
the Cubans In their struggle for inde-
pendence.
While stud emit at one of the Maine
seminaries, sixteen years ago, friend
ship Was formed between western boy
and this Foxcrofr man, who was then
boy. A year and half ago these friends
became very deeply Interested in the
Cuban struggle for liberty, SO much
so that one went to Cuba and ia now a
colonel in the Cuban army. He was
fully acquainted with military tactics,
having served In the Ninth regiment, N.
G. S. N. Y, for number of years. He
wanted his friend to go with him, but
Ills business was such that he could not
leave at that time.
The Cuban colonel khas since recon-
mended his friend to the Cuban Junta
and assured them that he WAS sal right.
Wherein much correspondence has en-
SIZED in which the Foxcroft man has
besn urged to go to Cuba. The matter
rested here till a short time ago. when a
captains commission with a salary OF
$iO0 a Il. onth was offered to him. or II he
would take along 20 men, n Oolonelcy
with $50 q month and three months pay
in advance when three miles outside Of
New York.
This Foxoroft man is admirably fitted
for the undertaking, a he Is always very
enthusiastic over anything he enters into
and is III thorough sympathy with the
cause. Besides having the cause at
heart he is IA good soldier, having served
in a Maine militia res iment before he
was sixteen and hes had eight years OF
military drill, most of the time under
the instruction of "a West Point graduate.
If Presidents Cleveland or Congress de-
clnrss ueiligerent rights to Cuba he will
start CANVASS; and ii the enthusiasm
warrants it will organize company in
this section, the men to furnish their
own uniforms and rifles. the Winchester

cases.
it is planned that every man, who en-
Lists. shall be fair scholar and good
rnarksnlan. Military training is not
deemed necessary as long as person is a
good shot and respectable, but they are
bound not to take any buns who only go
for the money and are no good when they
get down.
The work of this gentleman and his
company will be mostly guerilla warfare
so they have to haveimen of good consti-
tntion. The uniform will be of light
blue cloth, and many priva ties wear
the common blue oEeralIs. which are
very serviceable.

will clean up bis years business and
start Cd the first of January. There are
a few young men, who have seen mill
tary duty, who want to 90 ana IL Is
quite likely that they will accompany
the man.
If belligerent rights are not granted

an old German army colonel.
There is considerable sympathy about
here for the Cubans. among a certain
class. but it is not known whether it is
strong enough for them to 60 down and
risk their lives. This Foxcroft man. will
return to his home during the hot season
as he would be unable to stand the heat
at such time.
Everything is being done on the quiet,
as there is penalty Aof 81, 600 and i'm
prisonment upon conviction OF q man
