of Spain A ssassinated.

Senior Canovas del Castillo, he prime
minister of Spain, was assassinated,
Sunday last, at Santa Agueda. by an
Anarchist. The murderer fired three
shots, one of which struck the premier
in the forehead and another in the chest.
The wounded man fell, dying at the feet
Of his wife, who was ith him. lingering
in agony for an hour and then passing
away with the cry Of "Long Live Spain"
which were the last words upon his lips.
Santa Agueda is noted for its baths.
The place Is between San Sebastian, the
summer residence Of the Spanish court.
and Vitoria, the capital OF the province
OF Alava, about 30 miles south Of Bilbao.
The premier went there last Thursday,
to take a three weeks course Of the
baths, after which he expected to return
to San Sebastian TO meet United States
Minister Woodf0rd, when officially re-
ceived by the Queen Regent. The as
sassin was Immediately arrested He i
a Neopolitan and gives the name Of
Rinaldi; but it is believed that this Is an
assumed name and that his real name is
Michele Angina Coli.
At a special meeting of the cabinet,
under the presidency of Senior Cos
Gayon, the minister OF the interior. the
latter announced that he had been en-
trusted by the Queen Regent with the
premiership ad interim.
Coli the assassin has confessed that
he killed Senior Canoyas 10 ayenge the
| Barcelona anarchist and the usnrgent
leader, Don Jose Rial, who WAS execute
ed at Manita, Philippine Islands on Dec.
80 last, as the instgator of The Philip
| pine rebellion. DR.. Rial denied that he
was a rebel leader but he admitted that
he had drawn up the statutes of the
Philippine League.
The newspapers of Madrid in com
menting upon the crime, say that
though anarchists have no country it is
dreadful to contemplate that the last
two murders of eminent men, that OF
President Carnot of France and the as
sa, sination of Premier Canovas de
Castillo, were the work of Italians.

chants expressed themselves definitely

thirteen lodged the question. OF these
1897 business men only l07 had gloomy

it is poor. On the other hand, 42l say
that business is fair, 5s5 that it is good

ing the conservatism of business men,
after an extended period of hard times,
when more than 28H per cent of repre-.

over their signatures that business is

Writers from Maine are not iubilant,

Changes for Health.

Changes for health often bring sick
ness. This is the time of year when
people are changing from the city to the
seashore and mountains. mostly in
search of health and strength The
sudden change of air, of habits and
water, almost invariably upsets the
system at first and if the vacation can
not be prolonged frequently results in
more harm than good. We advise that
as soon as you arrive at your new abode,
make direct line for the drug store and
procure bottle of DR.. Humphreys
Specific No. To- to keep the stomach
right and bottle of No. / for summer
complaint. With these Two remedies at
hand, you will be benefited by the
change from the very beginning aud not

for copy of Dir. Humphreys Manual,
or send direct to the Humphreys
Medicine Co., corner William & John
Sts., New York. The above specifics
cost 25c each and can be mailed any
where. lw

Somerset Choral Notes.

The Somerset Choral Society meets
regularly through the summer. The
rehearsals are held weekly, and much
interest is manifested In addition to
the Skowhegan members, a number
come from Norridgewock. The festival
music is now occupying the attention of
the society. A second visit from Mr.
Chapman, the festival leader, is expect

State, and usually a concert is given

"Prof. Chapman, with great ability,
and perhaps even greater magnetism,
brought forth harmony and rousing
strength of fully united effort which he
wonderfully controlled by the slightest
motions of his baton, head, body and
often only finger tips. Indeed half of
his guidance was by his hands and fin

telligent and mighty voice, was uplifted
from normal conditions, seemed forget

In the furnishing of a modern house
the hall constitutes one of the most Sc
rious problems, but there is one conso-
lation. If one solves it successfully the
hall becomes one of the most attractive
features of the entire house. 1t then
ceases to be mere passageway and be-
comes a veritable room. and one which,
strangely enough, will be more generally
used than almost any other in the house.
In the conventional city dwelling, when
the hall is long, narrow and dark, with
a high ceiling and flight of stairs that
makes an unbroken sweep to the floor
above, very little can be done to give
an artistic effect. If the front door Is of
solid paneled wood a great Improvement
will result from replacing the upper
panels with glass. This can take the
form of a sash OF small loaded panes
in fanciful design or single sheet of
plate glass, protected by a neat iron
grill. The mistake should never be made
of using colored glass; unless one can af-
ford a masterpiece of genuine stained
glass, for the ordinary so-called Ca
thedrar" glass is crude in colors and an
abomination. The hall stand or hat

The Wane of the Poster Craze

The poster craze seems to have spent
its force, and curiously enough what
ever force remained in it during the
last year was only effective in convinc-
ing publishers of the folly of spending
their money in this way. 1t has been
discovered that the book seller rarely
displays posters, but uses them, distrib-
uted gratuitously, as a Establishment
which shall induce the poster collector
to buy books at his shop rather than at
his rivals. All this made for facility in
forming collections, but served no par
ticular end of the publisher, who paid
the photographers bills.
The longer lease of life which the fad
had in Paris is perhaps due to the fact
that there the book posters are COM
paratively small proportion of the whole

The collector pays for his fad. and so
has been able to enjoy it longer.
In America the posters advertising
books have most shown the Improvement
in our commercial art. Theatrical and
trade bills have felt the influence, and
there can be no doubt that there has
been permanent gain. 1t has been
found that it is almost as cheap to make
pleasing advertisement as hideous
one. This being known. it SHOULD re-
quire very little effort to sustain a fair
standard and to persuade the public to

All the exiles of Erin and the descend
ants of Irish people who have never
seen the Green Isle will have an opportu-
nifty at the Irish Fair which opens at
the Grand Central palace May 10th of
stretching their legs on the "ould Sod
Realizing that very few of them can
go to Ireland to enjoy this privilege. the
executive committee of the fair has de-
cided to bring Ireland to them-at least
an actual part of it. They have ar
ranged. through the special commissioner
to have a large bag of earth dug in ev-
cry county in Ireland, under the SUPER
vision of the county organizations of the
National Federation of Ireland. Every
bag will bear the federation's seal to
show that it is actually part of the soil
of the county from which it is taken.
The bags will be brought under seal
to the Grand Central palace and the
earth from each county laid out on the
floor in the section occupied by the cor
responding county table. After the fair
the earth will be sold by the ounce as a
souvenir
Another interesting exhibit which has
been secured for the fair is tree taken
from the garden of the house where 81.

other in regular graduation, but be
scattered about, large ones alternating
with group of small ones, to break the
monotony.
ALL of this has reference to the fitting
and furnishing of.the ordinary city hall
In the villa house the architect gen.
orally plans a square hall that has all
the effects Of an ordinary room. There
may be windows at the side, an open fire
place and plenty. of contrivances that
lend themselves to decorative effect
Here the treatment should be the same
as in any other room, with this restric-
tion-the purpose of the hall must never
be forgotten. Easy chairs and sofas will
not be out Of place IL they do not detract
from the formal character or do not OBJ
struct free passage There should new
er be profusion of ornaments or brio
a-brac. In a general way. the hints as
to the city hall apply equally we'll to one
in the suburbs. A hall chair or settee
should be placed in close proximity to
the entrance door and the fittings of
the walls and ceilings should be in light
warm tones.
AS the hall gives the very first i'm
preston of the house to the visitor, 1t is
most essential that 1t furnish the key
note to the remainder Of the dwelling
It Is Of little consequence If one wishes
a. caller to usher into beautiful, artis-
tic or cosy room II first he Is led through
a dull. dark, gloomy and forbidding
hall. The first impression is the one
that will remain.
The design illustrating this article
lends itself readily to a most beauti-
fully artistic treatment. The hall is a
host In itself. Its ceiling Is paneled to
represent open timber work and the
wallis finished In hard white plaster.
