In Louisiana"

The Baldwin Melville company
presented the pretty southern
drama, ain Louisiana" last night
to a large and delighted audience.
The play abounds In fine situations
and each and every one was well
taken care of by the company.
The auction scene, with the SELL

Hutchins Bros are finishing up some
handsome granite monuments at their stone
shed on Front street. Three of their latest
jobs are noticeable. They are of Oak Hill
and Lincolnville granite, and are for the
Palmer and Warehouse families of Mont
vile, the Foster family of the same town,
and parties in Orono.
F. A. Howard & Son are at work on an
order for gross of Mr.. j. W. Jones' latest
improvement in their screw drivers. This
is. like the others, reversible driver, with
removable points, but differs from the for
mer patents in having the reversing appara-
tus covered. To change from a driving to
drawing motion, or vice versa, slight turn
is given to the handle, while holding the
shank firmly in position. Mechanics who
have used it consider it a marked improve
ment over the other styles for many classes
of work.

The Senate, Friday, ga to 6, adopted the
resolutions according belligerent rights
to the Cubans and looking to the recogni-
ton of the independence of Cuba The
debate which preceded this action was a
hot one, and Spain's treatment of Cuba
was forcihly denounced. The admins
tration is said to be opposed to the recog-
milton of Cuban belligerency at this time.
This was the situation at the time the
floods cut off mail communication, and
subsequent developments at Washington
and at Madrid will be awaited with deep
interest.

ANNUAL REPORTS OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE,
SUPERINTENDENT AND OTHERS.
The annual report of the School Commit
tee, Superintendent and others entrusted
with the management of the city schools,
has been published in pamphlet form and is
ready for distribution.
G. F. CHM, chairman of the school COM
mittee, reports that they find the schools
running in very satisfactory manner. He
then reviews the changes that have taken
place in suspendng and disseminating
chools, the re adjustment of teache rs sal
aries and the temporary repairs to the schoO.
buildings, and calls attention to the poor
ventilation and unsanitary condition of the
school buildings the common. By the
canvass of the city last spring 212 more
scholars We're registered than had been re-
ported the year before, which gave S51576
more money from the State.
o. &. Evans, Superinte ndent, reviews the
work of the schools at some length. He
presents arguments in favor of the modern
methods of teaching which are being adopted
in the schools, and urges the necessity of
better drainage, ventilation and sanitary
conditions about the school buildings He
pays high and deserv ed tribute to the pu-
pills for their general good behavior, and no.
tees with pleasure the harmonious relations
which exist between the teachers and pupils.
Of the changes in the teachers in the city
schools, he says: "The resignation of Miss
Maud Fernald was very reluctantly accept
ed, after several years of faithful service in
the South Primary. She carries with her
The report of Mrs. Emma B Pitcher, teach
er of music, is brief, and is as follows:
1t gives me pleasure to report to you the
| results of another years work in the depart
ment of music in our public schools. We
are now practically doing the work as indi-
Gated in our course of study, in all the
grades. Good interest has been manifested
by the pupils throughout the schools, and
am pleased with the results.
| In the High School we have lately intro
duced a new collection, designed especially
| for the use of advanced classes. The seec-
tions are pleasing, and the pupils enjoy the
practice, after having used the somewhat
dry exercises on interval work for SO long a
period
| l wish to thank the teachers for their
| faithful work, and you, gentlemen, for your
coIuldi support, duu lor the generous CON
sideration You have given to any requests
have made in the line of my work.

mons, NJ. D., of the Board of Health, say

| We, the members Of the Board of Health
of Belfast, would respectfully urge that in
view of the urgent needs in the line of prop
er safeguards to health, sufficient sum of
! money be voted to ventilate properly, and to
drain satisfactorily, the various school build
ings during the next summer vacation.

If you eat what you like, and digest it, you

But if you don't digest it, you might al

is a simple help for your stomach.

Strength and health come from the food
you eat, after it has been digested and has

Sundays storm was severe blow to
Belfast, and entails responsibilities upon
the new city government which will tax
their energies and their abilities to the
utmost. OF course til" bridges destroyed
must be replaced win the least possible
delay, and at the least possible cost con-
sistent with judicious and permanent
work These bridges are the arteries
hich furnish life to our business inter
ests, and without them Belfast would be
i'll the condition Of a walled city with its
gates closed to the outer world. With a
loss of revenue from the railroad tax of
about -, 0O0. and with our sewerage sys-
tenn incomplete, higher tax rate is un-
avcidable. Let it be seen to that it is not
unduly decreased, that the few may profit
by the common misfortune. 1t is no time
to pursue visionary schemes that must
lau gely Increase the citys Indebtedness
and entail heavy annual drain upon our
lcsomces. The occasion calls for prompt,
practical, business like efforts to repair
the damages wrought by elements over
which we have no control.
The fact, before stated, that Maine peo-
pie increased their savings bank deposits
two millions the past year, in connection
with the forthcoming report of the State
commissioner of labor and industrial sta
tistics for 1895, show that Maine has been
comparatively exempt from the distress
of hard times, while the outlook for the
future is most encouraging. The average
daily wages of men with families was
S1S7, daily expenditure of individual 81
cents. The cost of food was one cent less
per individual than in 1891, and the total
expense per individual slightly less. Men
with families, who saved at all, saved Is
per cent. as compared with y per cent. in
1891, whereas men without families show
no change from that year in respect to
savings. This sustains the general belief
that the slackness in trade in this State
has been largely due, not so much to hard
tunes here as to reports of hard times
elsewhere, causing economy and retrench-
ment among our people.
The report of Inspector r. F. Chalk is
included with that of the Labor Commits
sioner. Mills are in generally excellent
condition, with efforts taken for the edu-
cation OF young mill employees. The con-
dltion OF child labor is on the improve
ment. Ninety three children were order
ed out in 1895.
