THELoRD's DAY.
The Hebrews VIII Max. r..t Case of
Ginsberg-Other Matters in the Muni-
cipaI Court.

Max Ginsberg was arraigned before
Judge Robinson in the Municipal court
yesterday charged with keeping open
shop on the Lords day. He pleaded not
guilty. City Solicitor Chapman a. pc .red
as his counsel.
Mr.. Chapman read from the Declara-
tion of Rights in the Constitution of
Maine to support his position, showing
that all men have right to worship
God according to their conscience, and
that the Jweish Sabbath is Saturday.
Officer Frank testified that he went to
this place and found Ginsberg fitting out
a peddlar. The oor was closed and tho
curtains were drawn. He didn't see any
clothes or goods sold or delivered. The
officer neither saw nor heard any dis
turbance about the premises. He testi-
fled that he saw seven or eight people in
there, one of whom he recognized as be-
ing Mattson. peddler. AS near as he
could rem ember the people in the store
were all Hebrews.
Officer Morse corroborated Officer
Franks story except the part about the
curtains, matter he did not remember.
Mr.. Chapman in his defence cited
GASES of farmers performing thSif laBofs
on a Sunday, and claimed that Ills store Z.
keeper, wholesaler, 80 long as he hon.
estly observed his Sabbath, had righ,
to do business upon the day that we call
the Sabbath, provided that he did not
disturb the peace Of the public, and the
only evidence to show that there wa
any disturbance to the peace Of mind Of
the good people on India street on a Sun.
aay was the fact that the window cur.
| tains of his store were down and the sa.
loDn Keepers down the street were ready
for business.
Judge Robinson said that he saw nc
reason why he should change his de-
cision made week or SO ago on simi
lar case. and fined the respondent IS and
costs. An appeal was entered and bonds
furnished and the case will be fought.
There were fiva cases of drunkenness
Two of them we're fined ss and costs, one

If You Have Sick Child This Is Surely a
Message of Hope.

If You Have Sick Child This Is Surely a
Message of Hope.
This Is the best Of news for parents Of
weakly or sickly children. It Is a fact
that our people have heretofore not had
the same opportunity for having their
gering complaints treated and cured by
eminent specialists in children's d iseases
as do the residents Of the great cities
where such skilled physicians reside.
In other words, our people have been
debarred from seeking a cure for their
children by the great physicians, owing
to the cost of travel to the large city and
the high fees charged by such physicians.
Here, therefore. is q chance for the cure
of the children OF our community which
should not be lost. Dr.. Greene, Of "a
Temple Place, Boston, Mass, who is be-
yond doubt the most successful special
ist in curing diseases of children. offers
to give free consultation by mail in all
cesese of children g complaints. Parents
have the privilege Of consulting DR..
Greene by letter, describing their child
len's diseases and he will, after careful
ly considering. the symptoms, write a
letter fully explaining the trouble, tel
ling everything about their complaint SO
plainly that you will understand exactly
what nils Jour ohildern. He will also
give his advice. founded upon his vast
experience and wonderful success In
treating such cases, as to just what to
do to effect q cure. All this will cost
you nothing, and you can thus have con-
sultation with the best known physician
and acknowledged most successful
specialist In the world without leaving
home and at no expense whatever. The
Ifootor is the disooverer Of that greatest
of medicines, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy, and has discovered
many other most valuable remedies
Write to him now about your child, for
this is chance of cure which you may
never have again.

Evening Schools,

Mr.. Milliken, the principal in charge
Of the evening school, is at present busy
completing the arrangements for the
holding of the sessions of that school
which are to commence next Monday.
The school is under the charge of Mr..
Milliken as principal and an able corps
Of five assistants. Glasses will be ar
ranged. first for those adults who can
neither read nor write; then there will
be separate classes for young men and
women who left school at an early age
and who desire to review their studies
and make further progress.
In addition TO this there will be espec.
ial instruction givsL in some Of the high.
or branches. The evening school is
now about to enter upon It's fourth year
having been established during the win.
ter of 1891.
Over one hundred persons have been
enrolled each term and the average at
tendance has been excellent. The school
term usually lasts from October tt
March.
The quarters Of this school up to the
fall of 1895, were in the ba sement and
some OF the upper rooms Of the City
building. Last year 1t was thought
-advisable to change the location to the
| Spring street school house, where th
evening school will be in session during
the coming term.
1t was hoped that the trustees of the
Walker estate would erect for the city
suitable building for the Manual Train
ing school. which might also be occupied
as an evening school, but this hope IL
not to be realized just at present.

A GREAT MERCHANT
HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ON THE
SUBJECT.
An European Trip Has Convinced

Frank II. Cooper, of the big
firm of Siegel, Cooper s. Co., of
Chicago, the largest retail firm in
the world, has just returned from
Europe. He is alive to the issues
of day and has kept we'll posted
while away from Chicago.
al can't see anything but good
to result from the free coinage of
silver" said Mr.. Cooper. "True. it
will benefit the mine owners; it
will also benefit the miners and
benefit the west. 1t will give the
farmer money; it will make better
prices for farm products; it will
make the farmer buyer in our
markets.
"Times can be no worse than
they are at present. Our currency
is not expansive enough for the
demands of the people. France
has $40 per capita of money in cir
culation, and it's people are pros
porous and happy. We have $40
per capita. We need more money
and free silver coinage will put an
end to business stagnation. Our
factories are closed and our artisans
and mechanics are out of work
More money will make higher pri-
ces, better demand for goods and a
revival of prosperity.
Goods and produce are too
cheap because people have no mon
ey to buy lines of goods that has
been moro than so per cent. i'll the
past six months.
With exchange free silver the
price of wheat and corn would in
crease in value. Dollar wheat for
the farmer makes him look at his
clothes. When they are frayed he
buys new. He furnishes his house
if it is needed, and so helps to start
the furniture factories going again.
1t is SO in all lines. More money
the greater demand for goods. A
single gold standard would bring
prices still lower and more failures
and more disasters for the people
We are partially upon bi-metallic

our salvation. Talking of free sill

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-On the sug-
gestion of the governments of Norway
and Sweden the state department is
looking into the treaty rights of foreign
nations to have their merchant ships
enjoy certain privileges which the
American laws give to American ships.
The French government also is inter
ested i'll the question, and its determine
ton would apply to the extensive mer-
chant murine service of Great Britain
and Germnny with the United States.
The question has arisen i'll connection
with comparatively minor law passed
by the last congress, which provides
that small packages imported to the
country by vessels of the United States
should be expedited III their shipment
across the country by not having to go
into bonded warehouse at the port Of
arrival 1t applies to presents and small
personal packages sent from abroad and
not to the bulk of merchandise.
Secretary Carlisle has proceeded to
execute the law, although the intima-
ton has been made that he would sus-
pend the law because it was in confiiC5
with treaty rights. Treasury officials,
however, take the ground that ques-
tions of treaties are not for them to de-
eide, and that their only duty is to en-.
force the law as they find it.
