The Dairymen's Meeting.

The State Dairy Conference for 1897 at
Bangor promises to be of more than usual
interest. One of the attractive features of
the program is the lecture Bacteria and
their Relations to Dairying" by Simeon G.
Keith, Jr., of the Orin Douglass Butter Gull
lure Company of Boston, on the evening of
Thursday, Dec. ID. This lecture will be H.
lustrated with a stereopticon, and, present.
ing new subject, will undoubtedly con-
tain Information of value to farmers and
creamery men and of interest to all. There
will be a very attractive fancy exhibit of
cheese and other dairy products by Boston
parties also elaborate fancy exhibits of but
ter by Maine parties. The indications are
that the exhibit of dairy machinery will be
large, and it will probably include imple-
ments never before exhibited. All interest
ed in dairying should make special efforts to
attend.

The Elllot-Leavitt Shooting.
Elliot Committed In Default of $1,000 Bail for
Assault with Intent to Kill.

Edmund Elliot was arraigned in the Bel
fast Police Court Nov 22nd, charged with
assault, with intent to kill and murder, one
Kitte F. Leavitt, Nov. 18th, in Belfast. Re-
spondent, through his counsel R. F. Dunton,
Esq, waived the reading of the warrant and
pleaded not guilty. The State introduced
but little evidence. Only three witnesses
We're examined. Dr. G. G. Kilgore testified
to the location and extent of the woman's
injuries, substantially as reported in The
journal last week. He stated that when he
saw her few hours before this hearing her
temperature was normal and her pulse 80.
He considered her in good condition as re-
CARDS the injuries, the wounds all healing
WE'LL and could see no reason why she should
not recover from the injuries. He had been
treating her since last June for consump-
ton. The only wound from which any
trouble can be feared is the penetrating
wound in the breast. The location of the
bullet cannot be learned, but it has thus far
caused no trouble.
Policeman l.. FL. Jipson testified to arrest
ing the prisoner. He asked Elliot, "Why
did you shoot the woman?" Elliot replied,
II was driven to do it." He could talk and
walk all right and Mr.. Jipson did not de-
tect the smell of liquor about him.
Turnkey NJ. G, Norton of Belfast Jail, tes-
titled that he asked Elliot what he shot the
woman for. His reply was, 81 had to do it,
and was in hope that I had another cartridge
for myself" Elliot said he forgot about
having razor after he did the shooting.
No defence was put in.
Judge Rogers found "probable cause" to
believe that the offense charged had been
committed and that the respondent was
guilty. After some argument by the coun-
sci to the amount of ball. the Judge
ordered Elliot to recognize in 5000 bonds
for appearance at the January term of Su-
preme judicial Court. He failed to get
bonds and was committed to Jail.
County Attorney Bowden appeared for the
State. Dunton for the defendant.
City Marshal Norton recently examined
the house where the shooting occurred in
search of the bullet said to have been fired
just after Mrs. Leavtt left her ROOM but
which missed her. 1t was found in the wall
near the head of the stairs and its position
and direction showed that the victim was at
last week when this shot was fired.

Hon. c: A. Harrington of Norridgewock
was in Skowhegan Tuesday, accompanied
by Charles H. Smith of Unity, and Benz. B.
Cook of Great Falls, Montana. Mr.. Smith

on ranch near his present residence. some
~ years ago, and was successful in gaining a
handsome property. He came east leaving
large property interests there, and when the
Democratlc tariff struck the country he was
heavy losses. He said it was pitiful to see
the extremity ranch owners were put to,
Wool could hardly be sold at any price. 1t

was such drug that they could get but

Tunes not even that. Now all is changed

living price and the sale is sure. [Somerset

FISH AND GAME. Game Warden Neal
states that the next legislature will be ask
ed to limit deer killing to one deer per sea-
son for each hunter He says that one deer
is enough and that true sportsmen should
be as well satisfied with one deer as a
carload. He thinks more protection of
this game is needed, especially during the
hunting season. 80. There have been re-
ports of an unusual slaughter of large
game in the Moosehead lake region. One
story is that on one island in Moosehead
lake region 26 deer were recently killed,
and that % of the number were does. 1t
may be that these were all killed legally,
but it scenes too bad to kill so many does,
if the rumor is correct. If the practice is
continued the day when Maine will have
no deer will not be far away. A story
that nine moose which were killed out of
season have been found in brook in the
Allegash region, is told, but is not confirm

A QUORUM OF CONGRESS.

Much Business Transacted without One.
Privileges of Representatives.
In "Zhis Country of Ours, in The
Century, ex-President Harrison gives
this interesting view cf the workings Of
congress: "A majority of each house,
under the constitution, constitutes a
quorum for the transaction cf business.
If quorum is not present and that fact
is disclosed by a yea and nay vote, busi
ness must stop until quorum is secur-
ed. But the members present are empow-
cred by the constitution to adjourn from
day today and sto compel the attend
ance of absent members, in such manner
and under such penalties as each house
may provide A great deal cf business is
done in both the senate and the house
when quorum is not present, the alb
sence of quorum rot being officially
disclosed by roll call. The sergeant-at-
arms is not an infreGrent attendant at
social receptions and dinners, but al
ways an unwelcome one when be comes
to demand the attendance of truant SEN
ators or members upon their respective
houses. One-fifth cf the members pres
ent may demand vote by yeas and
nays, and the vote must be recorded In
the journal which each house is required
to keep cf its proceedings. This journal
does not include the debates, which are,
however, published in full daily in The
Congressional Record.
1.-The senators and members are priv
ileged from arrest, except for treason,
felony or breach of the peace, while in
attendance upon their'respective houses
and while going to and returning to the
meetings of congress. A member may
be punished by the house to which he
belongs fer .disorderly behavior, and by

soon discover E5w lille the 'srea1Iy godd
man has to do with legislation and how
well he can get along without all this
enormous machinery of1egislatures and
courts. You could take the money spent
in maintaining legislatures and courts
and pension all the law breakers and
save 40 per cent, and certainly economy
for the other party and grab for our
own is the essence Of our modern poll
tics.
Children and youth are being crushed
and trained in crime, they arc being de-
prived of their natural rights, and we
are standing idly by, Indifferent, OF, at
most, complaining.
Why not put en- some plain clothes
and go out into the highways and
hedges and compel them, with love, to
come into the better ways Of life?
We must away with caste. We must
go to the helpless. 1t is high noon in
the day Of social redemption.
Selfshness is the cnly cyertbrower ct
nations, and We are somewhat selfish.
There are sad and weary lives that We
can relieve, and we shall never be salts
fed until we relieve them. Even if we
were entirely happy we should still try
to make others so. But let US refuse to
be happy until there is nc sorrow, re-
fuse to rejoice until all other tears are
dried. We shall perish in the effort?
Then let us die like men. A noble death
is always preferable to dogsish life.
And what else is the life of the utterly
selfish? Between the selfish and the
morally depraved there is no choice, ex-
cept you can often reclaim the latter,
while the former dies in his sins.
Go to thy nearest needy. Give thine all
to him and live or die as duty may re-
quire.

DO SOMETHING NOW.

Everybody demands reforms, and
most everybody is helping to reform by
legislation. But this is slow and un-
certain process. Statutes do not execute
themselves. Most people live in blissful
ignorance of law, and if all knew and
helped to enforce law we should find
that the world grew worse rather than
setter No nation was ever saved by
statutes. Look at Judaa, Athens, Sparta,
Babylon, Carthage and Rome! Noble
laws, resulting in debauchery, slavery,
poverty and death. A few great teach
ers have seen the comparative useless
ness Of legislation and have sought
higher ways and more certain results,
Buddha, Jesus and Socrates inaugurated
nobler movements and have gained
some followers We look around US and
sec the many puerile and futile attempts
TO improve society by legislation. There
are laws against trusts, discrimination
in freight rates, municipal corruption,
and yet there are larger trusts, more
discrimination and more municipal cor
ruption than ever. We have standing
constitutional clause that there shall be
no class legislation, and we have hard
ly any other kind.
On the other hand, there are thou
sands of suffering men and women who
need immediate help. The number is
steadily growing. What is to be done?
There must he individual and co-opera-
tive effort. Those who see the need
must go ut once and help effectively.
By some earnest experience You will

Growth oTEn9lish.

The growth of the English language
during the present century has been
without parallel in the history of any
tongue. The commercial associations Of
the English and American people with
all the nations of rhe.earth have brought
contributions from every cline to enrich
our mother tongue, and the result is
that there are words in common use in
the English language from every known
language on the face of the earth.
