assisted by man named Brown, were
at work shingling Mr.. Libby's house ON

to the ridge pole to arrange the saddle
boards. While at the highest point of
the roof Mr.. Libby slipped and slid
rapidly down to the caves There he
struck light singing on which Mr..
Brown was standing. The force of Mr.
Libby's fall knocked the stage to pieces
and both men were preoipitated to the
ground. There was great excitement
among the neigh bors for time, for it
was evident that both men were badly
hurt. As soon as medical assistance
couldsbe secured, it was ascertained that
Mr.. Libby had broken two ribs. cut his
head and injured internally, just how
much cannot yet be told. Mr.. Browns
arm was brokenI and he suffered consid-
erabiy. Both.men will recover.

A Live Concern.

At the present day the manufacture
of men s, boys and childrsn's ready made
clothing has been SO sysuemized, SO ad-
vanced by the Introduction of labor saw
ing machinery and devices, and SO Inn
proved by the exercise of superior taste
and skill in designing and QUITTING gar
ments, that this branch of business has
left others sfar behind in completeness
and In progress. An up-to-date clothing
establishment of today is far different
from the oldfashiuned stores Of the
haul them I'M slop shop methods.
Hare energy, enterprise and persistenoy
In the formation and execution of plans,
novelty Of IDEAS. and unremitting public
announcements are essential to the
success of any well conducted clothing
establishment. Combined with these
there must be large and varied assort-
ment OF stylish, well-made garments.
and low prices must prevail to meet the
demands Of active competition and
stringent times. The success attained by
the well-known firm of Fisk & Golf, the
clothiers, located junction of Middle.
cross and Free Streets is undoubtedly
due to a com bination of all the factors
before mentioned. Not only do they car
~ large and comprehensive stock of
all grades and sizes of mems, boys and
chlldren's garments. but they have ,lso
courteous and efficient statesmen to dis

One Of the most ingenious bets of the
season was made yesterday afternoon in
a we'll known Portland business house
and local follower of Bryan is $25
poorer Jh ereby. The discussion had
waxed warm. and the Portland supporter
Of Bryan had declared his unalterable
conviction that Mckinley would be de-
feated.
Are you willing to bet on it9" said
the Pittsburger.
"Yes."
'Well will wager you $25 that Nc
Kinley will carry every state in the
Union but one; and I will In addition
wager you $50 that he will carry that
state"
Agreed" shouted the eager Bryanite
before the words were hardly out of the
Pittsburger's mouth.
So the money was produced and put
up. Then the Piutsburger was asked to
name the states that he was backing Mo
Kinley to carry.
"All put Name" said the Pittsburger.
"Then the s25 is NINE" said the
Bryanite.
81 will admit that it ISL said the
Pittsburger, land you may take it now.
Hut have wagered S50.with you that Nc
Kinley will carry the excepted state,
which is Maine. will take the $50.

So the. Pitts burger took the $50 while
the Brnnite took on dazed look, and
the spectators began to tumble like
bricks in a row .s8

a special mission to the same court,
while his last appointment to foreign
courts was that of Harrison, who sent
him to Europe to negotiate several rec
iprocity treaties.
1t was upon the resignation of Mr..
Blaine that he was made secretary of
state. In addition to this diplomatic
experience he has been counsel for sew
eral of the foreign legations at Wash
ington. 1t was at the end of his service
in the state department at Washington
that he started on trip around the
world; and stopping in China he was
entertained by Lii Hung Chang. The
impression created was so great that
he was sent as special representative
toconclude treaty of peace with Japan.
It was for this service that he is said to
have received the comfortable fee of
500, 600.
Mr.. Foster as a private citizen is a
man of little ostentation. He makes
no capital of his varied achievements
either on the diplomatic field or on the
field of war, for he was actively engaged
in several battles of the civil war, and
had command of regiments. He was
equipped for the practice of law in the
Harvard law school, and made special
study of international law. For time
he edited paper and later rose to the
dignity of postmaster of his town.
