ITO BE Continued
indian Privilege in Maine.


There is trouble among the Penob-
scot Indians at Indian island, OldtOwn,
twelve miles from Bangor, the home of
the largest and most important Indian
tribe in Maine, over an order of the
Maine Central railroad, just issued, that
they must pay full fare when travelling
on that road.
For sixty years the Indians have been
allowed TO pay the same fare as chill
drcn, the custom having its origin here.
When the Bangor & Vesie, the first rail-
road in Maine, was built, the road car
ried many Indians up river and Gen.
Samuel Vesie of this city, then the
wealthiest man in Maine, who was
president of the road, allowed the In
dams to ride at children's rates aaG
for the sixty years since the custom haz
continued.
the Indians declare that if the Bax-:
gor & Aroostook railroad follows the
example of the Maine Central they will
bring suits for heavy damages against
the company. They claim that the
road, formerly the Bangor & Piscata-
quis. was allowed to cross Orson and
Black islands without paying damages
provided Indians were allowed to rids
for half fare forever--Boston Herald

del Rio, who will act as shouts.
reached San Antonio de los BANGS and
made his headquarters there last
night He has with him a detachment
OF cavalry and hopes to strengthen it
considerably before engaging with
Gomez, who is still understood to be
trying to effect a junction with the
1nsurgent forces under Maceo Wire
communication with the front is in
terrupted to-day. Spanish officers
here say that an important engage
ment will be fought before General
Marin returns to Havana
The departure of General Marin is
given out here as marking the begin
ming OF a more aggressive military
policy. and great things are expected
of his campaign. His purpose is stated
officially to be to enter upon the pur-
suit of Gomez and Maced in Pinar del
Rio province. He takes with him
1.7cO cavalry, 1900 infantry and four
batteries of artillery, and he de-
ponds on the military line along
Gne railroad from Havana to
Batabano to prevent the escape of
Gomez and Maceo, while he runs them
down and captures them in Pinar del
Rio. 1t is probable that he designs
the forces Immediately under his COM
mand. as above stated, as a sort of a
flying column, equipped to move
swiftly and to follow closely upon the
insurgents in the evasive tactics they
have unremittingly pursued. But
there are going with him about 5000
additional troops, under the command
of Generals Canells, Aldecoa and Lin
ares, who will cooperate with him

Matching Eggs ON a Fir. Engine.

A good story is told concerning TIM
members of a fire brigade in certain
town not far from Hastings. On one
occasion il appears a fire broke out in
the town and a rush was naturally
made for the fire engine, which was al.
ways kept on the premises of one OF the
inhabitants. When the men attempt
ed to take the engine out, however,
they were met with the exclamation
from the custodian:
.'Hii ye can't take that out. I've goi
a hen sitting there and you'll break
her eggs
Tradition AYERS that the men, seeins
the force of this argument, instantly
withdrew and the fire was put out bJ

Garrett tells me you are in the habit OF
doing"
IN fact, uncle, it amounts to this,
that I am not to marry Margaret at

L did not say so. Are you afraid OF
your own strength OF purpose?''
NO, I shall be all right, Of course:
but Margaret may see somebody she

oh. it's Margaret's constancy you
doubt? Well, as I'm older than you,
my boy, let me give you one piece of
advice: Never try to detain a woman
against her will. If she loves you she'll
stick to you. If she doesn't love You,
best let her CO.
Still the boy hummed and hawed and
grumbled; but Ruthven was firm, and
he saw that his word had no effect upon
him, and what seemed harder was, that
although Margaret received her gueadi-
ans decision with a burst of tears she
would not admit that it was unfair
mo, Hamilton; you mustn't say So
Remember what I was-and from what
Mr.. Ruthyen rescued me. Surely, he
has the right to determine my fate,

perhaps, she added timidly, che thinks

It. And as for your fitness, 1 believe

and your beautiful face. My belief is
that you're a dukes daughter in dis
guise, or that some wicked nurse stole
yo away from your home and substitute
ed her own brat instead of you
The girl blushed and smiled at her
young lovers far-fetched fancy, but was
very pleased at it all the same, and min
gled her lamentations freely with his
over their coming separation, although
he could never induce her to join in
his abuse Of her guardian.
Ruthven's plans on behalf of his
nephew throve, however, without an
obstacle, and. some few weeks after his
return from Paris, he had first the
pleasure of Witnessing fearful and
passionate farewell between Hamilton
and Margaret, and secondly, the salts
faction Of conveying the lad to Dover
and shipping him off to Calais.
AS the boat steamed Off from the pier
and Ruthven acknowledged the last
wave of his nephew's hand, he felt a
glow steal over him in the conviction
that it was the finest days work he
had done for long time.
And then he returned to the little
house in Kensington and Margaret

But There Are Some Signs of Definite
Improvement Visible.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-R. @. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Though business is still waiting, there
are some signs of definite improve
ment. 1t is now believed that the
first payment for bonds will cause no
further pressure and the money mar
ketS are easier as respects loans on
collateral, though the difficulty of
making commercial loans still check
operations But large maturities at
the end of January have been met
more satisfactorily than was expected,
and merchants and bankers report
that the signs promise good spring
trade. No increase appears as yet in
the demand for principal products I'M
less for some forms of iron and steel,
In which good contracts have been
made this week, and uncertainty as to
Congressional action still affects in
duStries and commerce. but the in
crease in inquiry and the reports of
the dealers are deemed assurance of
large trade coming whenever the I'M
certainty is over.
