LEGENDARY FIRES IN PORTLAND
There were half dozen attempts to
set fire to lodging houses in Portland
Saturday night, and it is supposed
that all were made by the same man
and that he is insane. His plan was
to hire room, a back room preferred,
take possession and on leaving lock
the door and take the key with him.
After the lapse of some time, the fire
that had been set in each instance
would manifest its presence. From a
description OF the individual who ap-
piled for the rooms, it is thought that
one person is responsible for the small
damage that was inflicted in each in
stance, and great excitement in the
fire department.. He had not, how
ever, at last accounts, been appre-
hended.

CAUTIOUS CRITICS. A prominent
preacher once said that he considered
a brainy infidel necessary adjunct to
every church, to keep the minister we'll
up to his work, and for the same rea-
son we have thought that a wide
awake critic was good thing to have
in each community to quid nunc peo-
pie into making best effort in any
endeavor. The idea has, however, been
somewhat modified by the discovery
that an over-zealous critic may occa-
sionally be found who will make ty.
biographical error the object of satiri-
cal comment. Such foolishness can
only be tolerated when it emanates
from an ignoramus. When a wise
man insists that he cannot see when
we used the expression floating unc.
ton" in last weeks paper that fiat
tering JUNCTION" was intended, it seems
obvious that he is fairly itching for a
scrap" and has no thought of pour
ing any oil on the troubled waters he
has so needlessly stirred.
