FISH AND GAME. Hon. L. T. Carleton,
game commissioner, speaking to the Bos-
ton Heralds Augusta correspondent in
regard to the famous Marquand case said
1.-The man intimated by acts and words
that he did not propose to respect the
authority of the Maine statutes and come
here for trial. No man, no matter what
his wealth or position may be, can make
any such talk as that, or snap his fingers
derisively at the Maine game laws while
we run this thing We merely showed
Mr.. Marquand the teeth in the statutes.
He changed his mind and came down. He
paid the fine like any one else. He went
home. That is all there is to it. "....A A
Gouldsboro correspondent writes: ''Not
in the history of our town have so many
herring been caughtin in the bay as this fall.
Thousands of bushels have been caught
already. Every worm out piece of land is
receiving coat of herring. zee. The
Quoddy Fish Co., incorporated under the
laws of the Dominion of Canada have
erected large building at White Head
Island, Grand Mapan, fully equipped
with all modern appliances for a cold stor-
age plant. The particular purpose for
which the building is designed is TO de-
monstrate that fish may be frozen and kept
until such times as bait becomes scarce.
This is the first plant erected for this
specific purpose and much interest is mani
tested in its success by the fishermen, to
whom it will be decided advantage.
l.. L. Carleton, chairman of the board of
fish and game commissioners, and Warden
W. E. Berry of Winthrop departed Friday
afternoon for northern Maine in pursuit
of hide and market hunters of game.

POLITICAL POINTS. The complete vote
of Kansas, as officially reported, has points
of interest. 1t gives Bryan Ill, $40 and
Mckinley 15S, 541. plurality of Is, 269 for
Bryan. The Palmer and Buckner vote
was l, POO, Prohibition 2,351, and Middle
of-the- Road Populist 1, ,232. Leedy, Pop
ulist, for governor, defeated Morrill,, Re-
publican, by 800. This shows that Nor
rill ran ahead of his ticket a number of
thousand votes. The Presidential vote
reveals 100, 600 men who have not gone
daft on Populism. With so large body
of sane citizens there is hope for the sun
flower State YETI. Mckinley's official
plurality in Michigan is only So, 600. That
is one of the States which Bryan thought
he had sure. .... Congressman elect Ridge
ley of the third Kansas district, Jerry
Simpson of the seventh, and W. D. Vim
cent of the fifth, all Populists, have writ
ten Senator PETER telling him that he had
better withdraw from the senatorial con-
test. They informed him, it is said, that
they will be against him. -. The Kentucky
canvassing board counted the Presden-
not present, his place being taken by Au-
ditor Stone. The official count shows
Kentuekys electoral vote stands II for
Mckinley and one for Bryan..... An Off
cial tabulation of the vote of Nov. 3, with
few precincts in West Virginia missing,
shows that McKinley's popular plurality
over Bryan was 70S, $50 . Senator Black

nounced that he was a candidate for re
election and that he would be in the fight
to the bitter end. -. Final returns from
Santa Clara county, completing the Cali

electors from California and Bryan one.

Mrs. Emily P. Shales died of consumption
at her home on Congress street November
18th. She was born in Belfast, was the on V
child Of Mr.. and Mrs. William NJ. Woods,
and wife of Lendal 7. Shales. She attended
the public schools here, was favorte with
teachers and scholars, and the amiable
qualities which drew to her the affection of
her associates in childhood, continued
through life. Nor was that friendship un-
deserved Hers was a disposition to attract
those about her Ever faithful to the inter-
family circle, she was also hospitable and
social with all, kind and generous to those
in the poorer walks of life. Her heart and
hand were ever open to- assist the needy.
In her family the loss will be most keenly
felt. An only daughter is taken from the
parents, a loving and faithful wife from the
husband, and a true and atfectionate mother
from the daughter, Alice G., and son, Will
liam Arthur all of whom have the sin
cere sympathy of the community. From
early childhood she was connected with the
Methodist Sunday school and in early
womanhood became a member of the church.
She was always active in forwarding the
work of the church, her last labor being as
President of the Columbian Society, during
its efforts to raise the funds for the new
church windows. She was also an active
member of Aurora Rebekah Lodge, l. O. @.
F., and of the Non-Partisan W. c. T. U. The
funeral was held at her late home Saturday
and was attended by large number of
mourning relatives and friends. Rev G. G..

Railroad:

en- that my services as vice president and
general manager of the Maine Central Rail
road Company will be no longer required.
am deeply touched This act of kindness so
nobly conceived and delicately consum-
mated, teaches me that all is not base and

ager of the Boston & Maine, was elected
general manager of the Maine Central
A reporter for the Press saw Mr.. Tucker
at his house. Mr.. Tucker said that he be-
lieved that the people of Maine would be in
sympathy with him. He had been asked to
resign, but he had nothing to resign for. He
had for % years, worked night and day to
make the Maine Central success and the
pride of the State. He had raised its value
from So a share to a per cent. dividend
paying road But, said Mr. Tucker the lines
have been drawing closer every day. He
could say one thing, that while he felt badly
to sever his connection with the road, and
especially in the way he had, yet he felt a
freedom that had beer stranger co him for
years. Mr.. Ticker was visibly affected, but
was manly throughout the interview.
Mr.. Evans, his successor has been con-
nected with the Vandalia Road, then with
the Boston & Lowell, and more recently
with the Boston & Maine in the capacity
mentioned.

1t behooves every citizen in city,
town and country to keep posted on
the stirring events that will occur In
this country and in the old world
within the next nine months. The re-
suits will affect all, personally, directly
or lndirec ly. This nation is on the
eve OF the most exciting presidential
campaign 10 its history, European
politics are in a very complicated
state, and scientists are applying their
discoveries to many lines that will pro-
duce startling new things. To keep
abreast with the world one should
read, in addition to the local or
county paper. a live metropolitan
newspaper, such as The Twice a. Week
Republic, Of ST. Louis. 1t is the most
progressive journal in the United
States, and in each issue 1t gives the
latest political news Of all parties 10
the field, the latest general news of the
world and many valuable special feat
ures besides. This model newspaper
is delivered twice-a-week by mail for

From the Albuqueraue Citizen.

From the Albuquerque Citizen.
1t is suggested by passengers coming
south on the No. l train that it would
be a very wise and appreciative move
If the Santa Fe railway officials would
order and have put up half a dozen or
more lights at the Las Vegas depot, on
both sides of the track, and especially
along the narrow plank walks to and
from the hotel, which is located a
square from the depot, and where
passengers on this train eat snnner
This suggestion does not come from
the Citizen, but from passengers
ladies, we mean-who feel a fear on
getting out of the light Of the
cars into the darkness, and then trudge
along the narrow plank walk between
frame houses to the eating hotel. The
expense incurred, should such a move
be made, would amount to a triaing
sum, but just look at the convenience
to passengers, and the absence Of ac-
commodation some ladies are usually
put to by asking the company of men
from the train to the eating house and
vice versa.
When Division Superintendent Hur-
leg has had hss attention called to the
matter and gives the case some
thought-for he Is a railroader who
wishes to please the travelling public
1t is q foregone conclusion that the
darkness at the station named will soon
be turned into light.

TERRITORIAL PENITENTIARY.

From the San Juan Times.

From the San Juan Times.
One of the most remarkable instan-
ces OF the efficiency Of strict judgmati-
cal rule, combined with competent
knowledge of the subject, is presented
in our Territorial p~enitentiary in Santa
Fe. The superintendent Of the pen
itentiary, Col. E. II. Bergman, has
during his term OF Office wrought a
marvellous change throughout the en-
tire institution.
The original buildings, costing
$270, 900, surrounded at one time by a
wooden wall, have been supplemented
by most necessary additions and
strengthened by a splendid and power
fully built brick wall with the neces-
sary guard turrets. A vast amount of
work has been done, all being perform
cd by the ~convicts without cost, or
nearly so, to the Territory.
The institution is perfect in its dis
cipline; whilst the conyicts receive a
treatment that Is in accordance with
the views Of the Humanitarian, a treat
ment designed, as it should be, to re-
form the prisoner. The men are
taught the most useful trades, which,
whilst preparing them for a useful life
on their liberation, serves to really
maintain them during their incarcera-
tion-carpenters, blacksmiths, stone.
masons (Mexicans have left the pen
and earned $3.50 a day as stone
masons- trade they learnt as prison.
ers) are amongst the trades taught.
The Institution is fitted up with
power for electric lighting, machinery,
etc., and hear that it is probable that
the town will receive its power for its
light from the prison in a day or two.
All this is done by prison labor.
The sleeping cells are models OF
cleanliness and comfort. The convicts
have We'd with each other in fixing the
cells up as tastefully as possible. The
cell walls are adorned with pictures
and photos, tides are hung on the
chairs and folded beds, and the men
take honest pride in the appearance
of the apartments. The photographing
room is run by the conviots who have
attained quite a perfection in photog-
raphy. There are large vegetable
gardens within the walls and a large
number Of hogs Of good breed.
The improvements are still continu-
ing, and if Col. Bergman receives, as
he should receive. prompt and efficient
aid from the Territory, this penal in
stitution will attain even a more eHvi.
able position than it now justly occu-
pies amongst institutions of its kind in
richer and more populous centers.

Suffrage Convention.

A Territorial mass meeting is.called by
the National American woman suffrage
association, to DO held In Albuquerque,
April 2Sth and Goth, for the purpose Of or
gambling a New Mexico suffrage associa-
ton.
The question of oma suffrage Is ag-
gressively before all the people Of the great
west. The glorions example of Wyoming,
where women nave voted upon every ques-
tion that men have for thirty years, has
answered every objection OF the opponent.
She has demonstrated that none OF the
fancied Ills that theorists declared must
follow the Acknowledgement of women,
have proved true In the actual experiment.
Wyoming is to-day IN unanswerable
argument for the advantages of a govern
ment that knows no sex. The
progressive spirit of New Mexico will
not permit her to lag behind her
neighbors in this line of march. The
time to act is now.
We earnestly request all tho friends Of
the cause to be present at this mass meet.
ing and to participate In its deliberations.
Entertainment for delegates will be pro-
vided In the hospitable homes of Albu-
querque. Friends wishing entertainment
will please address Miss Cora Armstrong,

THE GREATEST OF THESE,

How very much happier this world
might be, if there existed more of the
"'charity that thinketh no evil" Many
people are prone to accept at once any
little gossip that may happen to circu-
late concerning aequaintances, and fire.
quently, that concerning good friends.
This is unfortunate, for there is moth.
ing that will so quickly destroy good
friendship as a lack of confidence in a
friends virtue and integrity. 1t is
really a reflection on cne's self to be
ever ready to attribute the worst, or at
least, bad motives, to every action OF
an acquaintance, or to find some sell
fish reason for q deed, no matter how
good it has been, nor how productive
of good. Why not always look for the
best motive for the actions OF our
neighborsp The reply is generally,
at is not human nature" Well, no,
perhaps not; but a disposition should
be cultivated not to do unjust things
that even human nature prompts. II
we strnEe +e de everything ourselves
with the Hottest motives, we should be
more ready to attribute as much to our
neighbors.
There is nothing more productive of
suspicion and than mis-
fortune. With the majority no sooner
does the wheel of fortune turn the re-
verse way, ere imagination makes en-
emies and spies everywhere and
among the swarm of erstwhile friends.
1t was the Empress Josephine who
said, "0ne Of the saddest miseries of
adversely is, that it renders men I'M
just, awakening doubts OF the sincerity
of friendship
Often there is good foundation for
such suspicion, but in such a case
ought we not to be thankful for the
fortune that has discovered to us tie
f~alseness Of q friendship which cannot
survive the first blast Of adversely
Is it not a thousand times better to
know those people as they arep
Be charitable above all things and
that will make the world an 100 per
cent. brighter for ourselves, as we'll as
for others. Be not harsh or premature
in judgment Of others until there is a
certainty as to what may have been
the motive that actuated them.
