Maine goes to the polls to-day. Every
body knows beforehand how the state will
vote. The republicans have not lost the
state in the electoral college since the for
mation Of the republican party. and have
only twice lost the goyernorship. In 1873
the democrats and greenbackers elected a
governor, and two years later repeated the
operation. Since that time, however, the
line OF complete republican victories has
been unbroken. 1t Is conceded that it will
not be broken to-day. In the election Of
1884, although both Of the parties polled a
smaller vote than two years before. the
republicans won by a majority Of 3s e7s

Charles Byrne, the famous Irish giant,
who was more generally known as O'Brien,
died in 1888. when he was twenty-five years
old. His capacity for liquor was in keep

keen was his anguish over losing all his
property-to wit, 1900 note-that he
drank cask Of ale in one day. The day
following he was dead.
Byrne had great dread of becoming a
dissecting room subject. He made n bar

take his body out into the channel and

A TELEGRAPHIC EXPERIENCE.
He Dropped Onto Sleep, but He Wa
Not COnAcinus

He Dropped Of to Sleep, but He Was
Not Conscious of 1t.
From the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette
Said the telegrapher: Jones was night
operator at town near Altoona, on the
Pennsylvania railroad. He had lost a great
deal Of sleep and was very tired. The night
wore ale ng and trains were few 1t was
hard to keep awake. Finally the operator
in the signal tower next to the west report
ed No. 4, the express, passing east The
track was clear and Jones pulled the white
signal and waited for No. 4. He had al
most fallen asleep when he was aroused
by the roar of the train as No. swept
past the white signal. He saw the red
lights at the rear of the train as she dis
appeared around the curve and he reported
her to the operator at the signal towers
next east and west. Then he waited to
hear that she had passed the tower east
Three or four minutes was all it should
have taken her to reach that tower, but he
waited long after that and no word came
to him. He called up Smith. the operator
there. and asked him If No. had passed.
Smith said No They talked over the wire
and concluded that she had broken down or
been wrecked between the two towers
AT about that time the train dispatcher
called up and asked anxiously where No 4
was, Jones said that she had passed his
tower, and Smith sure she had not
passed his Everybody was wide awake
lost train is serious thing on railroad.
The dispatcher thought that she might
have slipped past without Smith seeing
her. but the towers all along the road be-
yond declared she had not passed them.
A freight going west was stopped st Jones'
tower, and the conductor was asked if he
had seen No. between the two towers.
He said that there was no sign Of her.
Then the perspiration began to stand out
on the operators and dspatchers. The
track between the two towers lies along the
river. A high stone wall supports It, The
only possible explanation seemed to be that
No. 4 had gone over the wall into the river.
She could not have gone up into the air.
Nearly an hour had passed. The river
seemed the only place where she could te
The freight conductor received orders to
uncouple his engine and run back SLOWLY.
He ran back past two towers but could
see nothing of No. on the track or in the
river. There was not even q displaced rail
where she could have gone over the wall
Then he was ordered to run slowly west tn
see how things looked. there. About half
way between Jones' tower and the one

ALABAMA REPUBLICANS.
The POpu1ist Convention Makes 9
: Concession.

The Mckinley convention at Montgomery,
Ala. remained in session all night Tuesday.
Up to l am. yesterday there seemed to be
a settled determination to nominate a
straight-out sound money republican ticket
The populists had coquetted in vain with
the Mckinleyites. This brought up the dis
cussion of subject which lasted until
break of day. After being in session thir-
teen hours without action, the Mckinley
convention adjourned sine die
Yesterday the populists state convention
delegates were argued with for five solid
hours before they would agree to the NOM
1nation of two candidates suggested by the
Mckinley convention. and just before the
job was completed two republican men,
bers OF the warning faction, who were
spectators. became involved in a quarrel.
and two guns flashing caused many to hunt
cover. The failure of the Mckinley faction
to put out sound money state ticket is a
disappointment to many sound money re-
rublicans.

There Is only one other copy of this
precious book known to be in existence,

copy is owned by the Earl Of Leicester.
The earl is so careful of the book that ne

SwenderbOrE's Revelations.
THE Lord. himself. has opened the sight
OF SWedenborgs spirit as he declares and
taught him, and the explanations which he
has given are not from himself or from any
man or any angel. but from the Lord alone.
While the churches around us are still
cropping In the darkness as to the mean
Ing OF this book. and their scholars and
exrositors, many Of them viewing it as
devoid of any consistent meaning or pur-
pose. and so rejecting it as part of the
canon Of the inspired Scripture, we are
permitted to see 1t as one of the great
est of all the inspired books of the holy
world, ana especially as respects ourselves
and the New Church of our time
AS the apostles and early Christians
found in the prophets of the Old Tesla
ment and in the gospels Of tho New, as also
IN the letter Of this book, to some extent,
the charter of their faith and the ground
Of their existence and organization as a
church, distinct and separate from the old
dispensation of the Jewish Scriptures, so do
we, in this prophetic book of the New Tes-
lament above all and in it's spiritual in
depreciation. see the charter of our faith
and the ground Of our separate existence
and organization as a church TODAY.
I'm this last and browning book of the
whole world are contained the prophecies
and predictions relating to the time Of the
Lords second coming and the establish
ment OF the New Jerusalem dispensation.
as they are nowhere else to be found, al
though scattered limitations and predic-
tons or them occur. as we know, through
out the New Testament, and even in
places In the Old. But in the spiritual ex-
positions Of the wonderful visions and
imagery Of this book. as now laid open, we
have clear and full account Of these
things, and the divine promise and charter,
