Yesterday was an intensely disagreeable
snow, rain. sleet and heavy wind made
the weather extremely uncomfortable and
every vessel near enough to port to get
under shelter seized the chance to do so
before darkness last night. There were
eighteen arrivals during the afternoon,
nearly all of them are in the port for
shelter.
The Bertha Bailey brought in fish. The
revenue cutter Woodbury. started for down
east at eight O'Clock but. found the
weather SO bad outside that she returned
| to the port. The State of Maine arrived
at her wharf at dark last night waiting
until the weather should moderate. None
of the steamers sailed last night. The
Thomson line steamship Iona which is
looked for at almost any time now was
thought to be outside but will not
probably be seen in Portland until tomor-
row sometime.
The fishermen are making great hauls
of smelts all up and down the bay. be.
sides plenty for the local market, large

"The Chinook"

Many of our people have often read
in the daily press, complimentary
notices of '"The Chinook and have
often wondered what kind of an exhi-
bition it presented. The play will
probably be in this city on October
18th when curiosity as to its character
will be satisfied. Arrangements are
about perfected whereby Clara Louise
Thompson and 1.-The Chinook will
hold the boards at the Opera house
on the above date under the auspices
ofDiamond Rebekah lodge of this
city. Judging from the press notices
received in Duluth, st. Paul, Mime
apolis, Marquette and other cities by
Miss Thompson, the people here have
! treat in store for them.

The High Shake.

Fashion has decreed that the prac-
tice of shaking hands close to the tho
faX when you meet a friend is out of
date Sand must be dropped, which
shows that fashion has some sense left.
There are no high shakes on the Saint
Paul & Duluth Railroad, or Duluth
Short Line, as it is popularity termed
A smooth roadbed and modern equip
ment have reduced the shake to a
minimum, and passengers rest COM
fortably in luxurious cars during the
fast journeys to and between ST. Paul,
Minneapolis, Duluth, West Superior
and other points reached by this popu-
lar line. These advantages have made
it a strong favorite with the travelling
public, which, whether for business or
plesure, finds it the convenient line to
use. Always take the Duluth Short
Line. Close connections made at all
points. Circulars, maps, folders and

Teaching Modem Science In tho Oldest u

The Punjab province Of India has
seresting academical experiment, that
Of communicating western science, phi
losophy and literature to the people
through their mother tongue, and to the
educated through their learned Ian
guages, and not in an English dress, as
elsewhere.
Sixty-three years ago Macaulay and
Duff destroyed the very different PERM
cious system Of bribing native students
Of Sanskrit, Persian and Arabic to read
their own sacred books. Gradually the
learned classes came to be left out OF
our state system Of public instruction,
with evil results. Sir Donald Mcleod
accordingly devised and Sir Charles
Aitchison carried out the plan of at
once attracting these, in the Punjab at
least, by oriental titles and degrees,
and Of examining all students for the
ordinary university degrees through the
medium Of their own vernacular. The
Punjab university and it's oriental col
lege were founded at Lahore for these
two ends.
The latest report Of the Edinburgh
graduate, Mr.. ]. Sine, M. A., who is
director Of the department., is not very
favorable to the success of the double
experiment, now some 10 years old. He
declares that "the prospects of advanced
education through the medium Of the
vernacular are not improving at least,
and Sir Dennis Fitzpatrick, the lieuten-
ant governor, has ordered special re.
port on the subject In the Oriental
college last year only students were
reading for the title Of Shastri, Or hon

versity in Sanskrit third passed. OF

eouraging fact is that every year the

Aid For County Fairs.

In the state auditors Office the other
day the warrants were drawn for the
annual appropriation of $4,000 to aid
county fairs under the Appropriation
bill of last winter.
The law provides that the appropria-
tion shall be divided pro rata among
societies having an annual member
ship of not less than twenty-five, and
maintaining annual fairs duly adver-
tised. The money is to be expended,
and no society will receive aid which
eXpends in premiums an amount
smaller than the state appropriation.
Auditor Dunn, latter consultation
with the attorney general, has decided
to allow all fairs held in 1896 to share
in the appropriation for this year
Hereafter only one society in any
county can share in the aid,and if
there are two societies maintain ing
fairs, in the same county, the state
funds will go to the Oldest of the two
An important feature in connection
with the distribution Is notice that
hereafter detailed statement as to
the expenditures of the money will be
required. The report must show the
various amounts paid out in
premiums, and to whom they are
paid.
Already letters of inquiry concern
the funds have been received, but
these do no good as they cannot
hurry the distribution, but on the
other hand retard matters.
