FUTURE.

lands leading citizens, the Rev. Mr.
Kimmell Of the India street Cniversalist
church Of Portland, preached to largo
congregation In the Opera House last

THE light OF the glorious gospel of
Christ" Mr.. Kimmell preached most
eloquent sermon, and he received MANY
congratulations at the conclusion of the

Hartwell Kendall, rs years old, turned
on the gas and lay down on his bed. His
lifeless body was found on Saturday by

he could afford her. 1t is said that Mr.
Kepdall's friends in the East desired him
to return to Boston. but the old gentle

Ten Per Cent For Salvage.

There is street boy who hangs about
the corner Of Wisconsin and East Water
streets who is evidently quick TO see and
seize an opportunity. just before the re-
cent blizzard the wind whisked off an old
gentleman's fine silk hat and sent it mer-
rily bowling up Wisconsin street.
Here, boy" he called out, "get my hat
for mop
"What are you offerinr' inquired the
boy.
"Get my hat quick, and I'll give you a
dine.''
whats 1t WORTH" asked the boy.
''Seven fifty. Why! Come, get move
on you. It's brand new hat, and I've
only just boughtit. Hurry, now, and I'll
make it a quarter
81 guess not, " replied the boy placidly,
turning away. II amt in the business of
furnishin gents wi $3.50 silk hats for q
quarter. Gimme 10 per cent for salvage,
boss, and away go. Do get it?"
The old gentleman gazed at him for a
moment in helpless astonishment and then
nodded consent, and the boy whooped aft
or the hat and brought it back in triumph.
There's great future before that boy

Prohibition In Maine.

The PRESS of the Goth instant has this
paragraph under it's editorial head. Will
you kindly allow me room for few
words of protest.
The ten business men who told the
Rev. Mr.. Lindsay that thu trouble with
prohibition was that there was not strong
enough public sentiment behind 1t, told
the exact truth.
The Maine law was enacted by Demo-
cratic legislature in 1851 ~ vote OF IS
to 10 in the Senate and IS to 40 in the
House, and was carried through in one
day without any amendment of the bill.
In 1884 prohibition was put into the
Constitution by a majority of AZ, O75, the
amendment by that majority commanding
the legislature ''to enact laws with suita-
BILE penalties for the suppression of the
manufacture, sale and keeping for sale of
Intoxicating liquors"
At the last election, the Democrats put
into their platform a pledge to overthrow
the whole prohibition policy and re estab-
lish license. The party did not elect even
one member of the Senate and only five
in the House. At the legislature of 1895
a bill was introduced to resubmit to a
popular vote the whole policy of prohibit
ton, and the proposition had but IA votes.
1t seems to me that all this indicates n
strong enough ''public sentiment to in
sure an honest enforcement of the law 40
clearly approved by an overwhelming ma
iority of the people.

BOLTS TAMPERED WITH.
Accident to Mr.. Edgar e. Rounds and Two
Others Yesterday at East Deering.

Yesterday morning Mr.. Edgar e.
hounds left the city for Falmouth whore
he IS having some wood cut. He had
with him George Masters and E. s..
Cunningham, two men in his employ.
He drove horse belonging to MI. Har-
low, spirited animal, and harnessed in
to two seated wagon. 1t was cold
morning and the men Were we'll wrapped
up in blankets and robes, so much SO as
to make it matter of difficulty for them
TO spring from the wagon in case of
trouble.
The party halted for few moments on
Washington street where Mr.. Rounds
talked kwith man with whom he had
business, but there was no opportunity
given at that time for any one to have
tempered with the wagon. Soon after
leaving the city. and when going down
descending ground, bolt gave way and
one shaft dropped. Mr.. Masters and
Mr.. Cunningham were thrown, but Mr..
Rounds who was driving was able to
keep his seat and to rein up the horse.
i The bolt was replaced at East d .ering.
and the party started again. and had gone
about a quarter of mile when the op-
posite bolt from the first gave way. the
wagon was caught in the railroad track.
slowed around and tipped over, the bolt
that had just been put on twisted off,
both clamps gave way at once and the
men were thrown out.
Mr.. Rounds struck with great force on
the icy ground and the wagon went down
on top of him. He WAS completely help
less and Eunable To move. Mr.. Masters
struck on his head and shoulders but es-
capped almost without injury, while Mr..
was badly injured. 1t was
found necessary to send MI. Rounds and
Mr.. Cunningham back to the city, while
Mr.. Masters went on after the horse, and
finally recovered the animal.
Mr. Rounds and Mr.. Cunningham boIh
believe that the wagon was tempered
with Sunday night after it had been
oiled. They believe some one who had II
grudge against Mr.. Rounds deliberately
attempted to wreck his team. and that
it was calculated that he would Lave time
to reached the hills before the bolts would
give way. SO removed the nuts. 1t was
perhaps known that Mr.. Rounds would
leave the city In the early morning, and
that he would make no special examine
ton of the wagon before hitohing in. 1t
was remarkable escape for both men.
Mr.. Rounds is confined to his bed, and
the injuries of Mr.. Cungningham will
keep him in the house for some days at
the best,

Flooding the Oaks.

One of Portland's well known citizens
called on Commissioner Smith Saturday
and inquired why the pond at the Oaks
was not flooded SO that fresh surface
could be afforded, to the skaters. The
commissioner informed him it was be-
cause ice is lighter than water and will
always come to the top. Flooding had
been tried many times, but unavailingly,
the water finding cracks in the ice, in
visible to the eye, through which it
sought the bottom of the pond. The skat-
ing is very good at the Oaks, and the ice
is kept continually swept.

barrel of delicious Crimean oysters for
presentation to the count, but left them
In his carriage at the palace door until
he should have obtained his masters
intimation that his gift was acceptable.
On entering the presence OF the count

party of guests and engaged in berating
his chief butler for neglecting to pro-
vide oysters for the breakfast to which
they were about to sit down. The butler
was explaining to the count that there

The RELIGION OF THE WHEEL
The Rev. DIR. Shaw, when preaching
on the bicycle, expressed great many
hopes and few selected fears. The
hopes are quite welcome and may
make themselves at home: as for the
fears, the latchstring is not out and
they can't get in until they give the
password.
The good Doctor believes in the
wheel, and of course rides himself. He
could not speak as pathetically as he
does except from personal experience.
The wheel lover uses very different
language from that CT the wheel OBJ
server. There is a gush, a spontane-
ity, about him which cannot be assum-
ed.
The Doctor likes the wheel for the
good it has done. He says, "Half the
religious doubts of the world have
been dyspeptic doubts" and assures
us that out of door exercise, by pro-
ducing good appetite, dissipates
these doubts, which is true beyond all
denial
Then the Doctor remarks that some
bad people ride the bicycle. especially
of Sunday afternoon on the Boule-
ward, and remarks, II think it is sinful
to stand on the Boulevard on a Sun
day and look at these sights" We are
afraid that not all of the Doctors
dyspepsia has gone. A little more
scorching on good country road
would make him more generous. Bad
people are found everywhere-once in
a great while in the pulpit even-but
there is no earthly reason why the bad
and the good should not enjoy healthy
exercise and fill their lungs with fresh
air. Perhaps their badness as we'll as
their religious doubts will disappear as
they gather physical strength. The
rain falls On just and unjust. and the
bicycle belongs to saint and sinner.
May they both enjoy it.-N Y Herald.

They Didn't Smoke.

In his boyhood Judge Charles B. An
drews of the Connecticut supreme court
was much more lively than his brother,
President Andrews of Brown univer-
sity. A writer in the Springfield Repub-
lican tells a story Of the way he got
ahead of some of the college boys when
he was freshman at Amherst. 1t was
the custom then to smoke out the fresh
men. A party of a dozen Or more of the
fellows would enter the room of an un-
suspectirg boy, light their pipes and
smoke until the victim gave in and Of
cred treat. When they came into An
drews' room, they were without their
pipes and had no tobacco about them,
but with stern voice one fellow handed
Charles 81 and ordered him to go out
and procure pipes and tobacco for the
crowd. Charles went out and soon re-
turned with 90 pipes ard cents worth
of tobacco. What the boys did to him
for his a1dacious act is not related, but
it is fact that they did not smoke him
out that night.
