A. j. HOban, Whose Contract Is Held
Up, Says Something.


The mandamus proceedings brought
by the ST. Paul Sidewalk company
against J. J. McCardy, city comptrol-
Ter, to compel him to show cause why
the contract entered into between the
city and the company should not be
countersigned, will come up before
Judge Kelly this morning. Usually
the comptroller engages his own at
torney to attend to law suits brought
against himself or the city on what he
contends is the proper construction of
the city charter In the present case,
however, he evidently has but little
hopes of gaining his point, and, in or
der not to have to. stand for attorneys
fees, will be represented by the cor
poration attorneys office.
A. J. Hoban, one Of the officers of
the ST. Paul Sidewalk company, in
speaking Of the proceedings yesterday,
said that if the city comptroller had
paid as much attention to the condition
of the Allemannia bank as he had to
the standing of the st. Paul Sidewalk
company the city would not have had
$4,000 in that institution when it
closed it's doors.

With the revival of prosperity the
overflow of Europe into the United
States will assume greater proportions.
Before that can take effect, however.
we hope that Congress will! impose an
educational test upon im3E grants. dr
may be true as has been urged by the
representatives of foreign steamship
lines whose iR4 erests are ant2gonistic to
sur own that ability to read and write lis
not conclusive as to the desi-ability of a
candidate for citizenship. That may DE
granted, bat the fact remains that this
test will particularly restrict the coming
of those alien elements when are least
assimilable into the American system.
The inpoariag of ignorant and squaitd
races has subjected American institu-
lions to a considerable strain, which will
be increased if something Ia not done 90
restrain their coming. The .regrettabtr
incident in Pennsylvania last week is one
result. The scale of earnings and the

are in the balance. Public sentiment de-
mands the restriction. Let Congress

Death of John Aver.

At one o'clock Sunday night, Mr.. John
Aver, president of the Somerset Rail-
road Company since its organization,
died at his residence in Oakland from or
ganic disease of the heart. after an ILL
ness of nearly two years, at the age Of
seventy.
The deceased was a Mason. He was
prominent in all interests of his town,
leading member of the Baptist church,
an extensive stakeholder Ia the local in
dustries as well as large owner in the
Dodlin Granite Company. Mr.. Aver
leaves a widow, son, William NJ. Aver,
superintendent of the Somerset railroad
and daughter, Mrs. Horace Greeley.
The Somerset railroad was organized
IN 1865. Mr.. Aver became director
that year, was elected president In 1872,
aud since that time has extended and
managed the road against the opposition
OF Its enemies and diseouragements that
would have appalled, and crushed ordi.
nary men. When the Somerset railroad
seemed to have lost all of its friends,
when towns and individuals repudiated
their subscriptions, when it was neces-
say to become personally responsible
TO connecting roads for advance freight
charges, then its president became in
vincibe. He was elected trustee of the
Maine Wesleyan Seminary In 1869. trus-
tee and first president of the Cascade
Savings Bank in the same year.
In 1889 he built the Cascade Wooden
mill ready for its machinery, was made
director and treasurer of the company
In lSS9. These positions of trust, in ad-
dltion to the management of the Dunn
Tool Co., and the presidency of the
Somerset railroad, he held till the day OF
his death.

The Happiest Person Alive.

The person who has always been well
takes health as matter of course. and
doesn't appreciate it. The happiest
persons are those who have been cured
after they have considered themselves
incurSble; they become anxious about
their fellow-men, and spread far and
wide the good news of their Tegained
health and the meaGs by which it was
accomplished. There is great army of
saeh people today WHO owe their present
Happiness and health to DR.. Greene and
his great medical discoveries, and the
testimony they bear of relttf from the
grip OF decay and death bears out the
broad statement that all the diseases
arising out of the nerves aud blood can
be queckly and permanently conquered
by this famous specialist. Among the
potent remedies discovered by his re-
seatch is the World-famed Nervura, Dr.

Boston Journal-The revenue under
the new tariff has ceased to afford any
satisfaction to the enemies of honest
money or protection. Attention is call
cd to the fact that already with the
tariff less THAI TWO months Old the
national receipts under it are steadily in
creasing. This is true both .Ge the
revenue from internal taxes anG the
revenue from customs. In the first
eleven business days IT September the
customs receipts were $500 ,0s5 against
S., $3.50, 9dS in the first eleven day3 OF
August. This is q gain of about 4 per
cent.-a small gaia, perhaps, but still
significant when it is remembered that
a gain OF but T Fer cent. distributed
throughout the year would effaoe the
deficit and give an actual surplus to the
Government.
