No More Managers.

There are no more managers in the
theatrical business-at least, if there
are, they are back numbers. Nowadays
we have only directors. 1t is Modjeska,
direction of Frank L. Perley; John
Hare, direction of Clarence Fleming
James O'Neil, direction of William f..
Conner; Stuart Robson, direction of
William Hayden. 1t is only the man

Guiana's Vile Climate.

The climate Of Guiana is not by any
means agreeable. Georgetown is within
Elk degrees of the equator, and the mer.
curry generally fingers around 80 and
100 degrees. The land is also low and
marshy In places. so that fevers are
prevalent at all seasons Of the year, and
q white man cannot live there unless he
takes extreme precaution to observe
certain essential rules Negroes, on the
contrary, can live anywhere and break
the health rules laid down for the white
settlers. Yellow fever is an annual
plague in Georgetown, but the negro
population gives little thought to it. and
1t is uncommon to hear Of one Of their
number taking it. The coolies, who
compose about one-t third the population.
are more susceptible to the poor climate
than the negroes, but are much harder
than the whites. The coolies are a
lighter and more slender race than the
negroes. but they are industrious and
moderately faithful workers, while the
negroes are lazy and indolent. The real
hard and difficult work In the fields
that requires muscle Is performed by the
negroes. hut the steady. continuous,
light work is allotted to the coolies.
The two races are naturally hostile,
more SO than the Europeans and the ma.
tives st. Louis Globe Democrat.

THREE IMPORTANT POINTS

FIRST-Go via St. Paul be-
cause the lines to that point will
afford you the very best service.

Third District Democrats
Nominate Fred W. Plasted of Augusta for Con.
greSS.

The Third District Democrats met in con-
vention at Pittsfield last Thursday to nomi-
ate a candidate for Congress. 1t was de-
clded not 10 fuse with the Populists. Joseph
Williamson, Jr. of Augusta called the con-
venton to order and Fred W. Clair, ESQ. of
Watervile was made chairman. Although
the committee on credentials had just re-
ported 132 delegates present Col. G. B. Nor
ton OF Augusta suggested that the cOnven-
tion take into consideration whether, with
the lamentable situation of less than so dele
gates present, it should make any nomina-
tion at this time. Let the influential Demo-
Gratis who stay away take the responsibility
The committee on resolutions-B. E.
Whitney, Hancock, H. P. Farrow, Waldo,
S. I. Lawry, Somerset, and J. Williamson,
Jr., Kennebec-reported as follows:
Resolved, That whereas the third district has
IN the death OF Hon. Seth l.. Milliken lost able
and influential representative in the halls of Con-
gress, that recognizing the fact that Mr. Milliken
during his long and honorable congressional
career was ever alive to the needs of his constit-
uents, regardless of their party affiliations, the
Democrats of this district learn of his death
with deep regret and tender their sincere SYM
pathy to his beIeaved family.
Resolved, That this convention favorS the free
and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at
the ratio of 16 to l, without the consent of any
other nation on earth, and renews its allegiance
to that gallant leader, William j. Bryan, in his
efforts to free the government of this country
from the control OF trusts and monopolies.
Resolved, That vigorously protest against
the prospective passage of the so-called Dingiey
bill by the present Congress, believing that its
enactment will increase the burdens of an al
ready overtaxed people, without corresponding
benefit to labor.
Mr.. Williamson of Kennebec nominated
Fred W. Plaisted of Augusta as candidate
for Congress, and moved his nomination by
acclamation Mr.. Morton of Augusta OBJ
jected to nomination by acclamation.
l.. II. Murch of Belfast seconded the nom-
nation of Mr.. Plaisted, as did also Mr.. Whit
ney of Hancock.
Mr.. Plaisted was declared the nominee
with only one faint no from Mr.. Morton in
opposition.
The speech of Mr.. Plaisted in accepting
the nomination was received with enthus-
iasm. He declared his allegiance to Bryan's
cause and the Chicago platform.
Fred W. Plasted is the son of ex-Gov
Harris NJ. Plaisted, and is the editor of the
New Age of Augusta He was delegate
at-large to the national Democratic conven-
ton. and was an earnest supporter of Mr..
Bryan for the nomination. He is firm be-
lever in free silver, and his paper was one
of Hon. w. j. Bryan's strongest supporters
| in the State in the presidential campaign.
He is chairman of the Democratic city COM
mittee of Augusta, and is high up in Masonry.

The Cuban Question.
President Mckiney's Message to Congress on
the Subject.

WASHINGTON, May IT. The President to-
day sent the following message to Congress:
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tlves of the United States Official informa-
tlon from our consuls i'll Cuba establishes
the fact that large number of American
citizens IN the island are in state of desti-
tuition, suffering for want of food and medi-
Cines.
This applies 70 the rural districts of the
eastern parts The agricultural classes have
been forced from their farms into the near
est towns, where they are without work or
money.
The local authorities of the several towns
however kindly disposed, are unable to re-
lieve the needs of their own people and are
altogether pOwerless to help our citizens
The latest report of Consul General Lee es-
Inmates that six to eight hundred are with
out means OF support. [ have assured him
that provision would be made at once to re-
lieve them. To that end / recommend that
Congress make an appropriation of no less
than $50 ,OO0 to be Immediately available for
use under the direction of the Secretary of
State. 1t is desirable that d part of the sum
which may be appropriated by Congress
should, in the discretion of the Secretary
of State, also be used for the transporta-
ton of American citizens desiring to return
to the United States and who are without
means to do so. (Signed)
VIM. Mckinney.

tion asked for.

suffered defeat at the hands of team play

delayed work on the grounds and the por-
tion which will ultimately be the infield was
still in the furrow and covered with pools of
water The higher land of the outfeld was,
however, in very good condition and a dia-
mond was measured off there. The tieders
labored under great disadvantages on ac-
count of the rough and wet condition of the
ground. good game was played, notwith-
standing. The home team shut out in
five innings and the visitors in eight. The
score stood Belfast, 49, Montreal. l. The
Belfasts Went first to bat, but failed to score
In the first inning the first three men went
out in regular order, two at first and one on
a foul. In the second the Befasts scored
two, two men struck out and one went out
on fly. The Montreals again failed to get
a score, and the third inning resulted the
same as the second. In the fourth the Bel
fasts scored three and the Montreals one,
the latter being a home run by Page, ID
baseman. The fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth innings were shut outs for both sides.

the last inning the visitors evidently got
weary and the home team got in six runs,
including home run by Hill. Some heavy
batting was done, most of the balls gong
either over the back fence or into the left
field. The latter We're well taken care of
by Firth of the Montreals and Hill of the
Belfasts the latter making some inc catches
under difficult conditions. An unusual
number of men were hit by pitched balls
and one of the Montreal men was quite
badly hurt. The Belfast battery was Mul-
