Anxiety About the Mayor.

We are thinking up this way of send
ing a detachment. posse or delegation
of citizens to the coast of Maine ~
hunt up our mayor. The mayor has
been gone month now and the only
time we have heard from him has been
when he lost stocking and then got
shipwrecked. This is getting to be
serious. We can see how Mayor Red
ington can stand shipwreck or two
but when it comes TO losing ones
stockings, particularly on one of the
cold nights that we have been having
of late. it is quite another matter. The
next thing we will hear about him will
probably be that he has lost his IT.
D." and then nothing will console or
save him. Some have thought of ask
ing for an injunction to prevent the
mayor imperilling his chances for n
second term by dallying longer at the
sea shore. We know he is up TO his
sail around on salt water but he should
not forget that the people demand that
he die in their service if he is bound to
die thus early in life. Come home,
dear mayor, come home. before you gec
your feet wet and get your death from
cold. The foundation walls of the en-
joined city building cry in tones
mournfully terrific for your presence in
the city;the numerous questions at law
demand your attention; Alderman Gill
patrick threatens to get that Western
avenue sidewalk by hook or crook; the
schoolhouse is not completed: we want
more concrete walks;th receipts at the
liquor agency are falling off and we
must legislate some more.

An Interesting Letter.

An interesting autograph letter OF
Mark Twain's, for which the Book
buyer is indebted to Major Pond, was
addressed by him to lady who had
asked him to sign letter commencing
the lady's sister to lecture bureaus.
The person for whom the favor was
asked wanted to lecture, and was alto
gether inexperienced and unequal to
the work. And the sturdy Mark wrote
the following words Of wisdom:
Hartford. April Z. 1887.
My Dear Madam:-It is an idea
which many people have had but it is
of no value. have seen it tried many
and many time. / have seen a lady
lecturer urged upon the public in a
lavishly complimentary document,
signed by Longfellow. Whittier, Holmes
and some others of supreme celebrity.
but-there was nothing in her, and she
failed. If there had been any great
merit in her she never would have
needed those mems help: and Eat her
rather mature age) would never have
consented to ask it.
There is an unwritten law about
human successes. and your sister must
bow to that law, she must submit to
it's requirements. In brief. this law. is:
1. No occupation without an appren-
ticeship.
2. No pay to the apprentice.
This law stands right in the way Of
the subaltern who wants to be a gen.
cral before he has smelt powder: and
it stands (and should stand) in every
body's way who applies for pay and
position before he has served his ap-
premiership and proved himself. Your
sisters course is perfectly plain. Let
her enclose this letter to Major ]. B.
Pond. and offer to lecture year for
$40 week and her expenses. the con-
tract to be annullable by him at any
time. after months notice. but not
annullable by her at ALL The second
year, he to have her services. if he
wants them, at a trifie under the best
price offered by anybody else.
She can learn her trade in those two
years, and then be entitled to remun-
eration-but she cannot learn it in any
less time than that unless she is a HUI
man miracle.
Try it, and do not be afraid. It is
the fair and right thing. If she wins,
she will win squarely and righteously
and never have to blush.
Truly yours.

that four cases of yellow fever existed
at Berkeley. that there had been eight
cases known to be yellow fever. and
that two exposed physicians were at
Van Cleave and Scranton, practically
under guard.
Surgeon Wasdin, who has been at
Ocean Springs for some time was taken

came from Surgeon Murray. who did
not state the nature OF the illness, but
DIR. Wyman supposed it to be yellow
fever. Surgeon Murray has engaged
a nurse and will care for him. DIR.
Wasdin has been actively engaged
since the outbreak of yellow fever at
Ocean Springs. and was present at the
first autopsy at which the conclusion
vas reached that the disease was yell

Dr. Goode. the president of the Ala
Bona state board of health, has tele-
graphed DIR. Wyman that all meas

spread of the disease which has mani
tested itself at Mobile. The inmates of
the hospital where the disease appeared
were quarantined and the room former
~ occupied by the yellow fever patients
has been thoroughly disinfected. There
was no report of suspected cases.

a few minutes decided that one Joseph
Pooler. aged about 22 had more money
than was usual for him to carry. and the
marshal started out TO find evidence.
Mrs. Perry had told the officer that one
of the bills was of the denomination OF
SO and that 1t had two corners turned
down. Marshal Call had seen Pooler
hanging aboM the street in the afternoon
and had seen him enter the fruit store of
William King on Main street. Calling at
Kings, the officer found that Pooler had
had Il so bill changed there, and upon
looking into the money drawer the bill
with the two corners turned down was
found and identified by Mrs. Perry.
or course this was enough to satisfy
the marshal that he should gather PoOler
in. and he began a search for him. Pooler
was found down on Water street and just
as the mill bell was ringing for o'clock.
Pooler had found Judgment in the lookup.
He will be arraigned before Judge Shaw.
this morning, charged with larceny of
money.

to start E. T. lyman Of the Evening

of the Waterville Gun Club, out into
the cold country, yesterday. No one
has yet heard the number of coons they
killed in broad daylight, or how many
moose they had occasion and felt COM

THE SEALING HEARING.


Halifax. N. s.. Sept. 13-Hon. d. n.
Dickinson finished his Introductory adj
uress at this afternoons session. by a
lengthy reference to the case of the vir-
ginius, from which many differences were
drawn in support of the British case and
joined issue with the argument of the
British consul in that case.
Mr.. Dickinson was followed by r. Lam
sin. who fonowed the printed argument
on the question of estimated catch He
claimed that it was unreasonable to base
the claims for estimated catch on that OF
the Mary Ellen, which was the largest
made in any of the years from 1885 to
1890. He then went into a detailed cfiti-
cism of the plan. He submitted another
method of computing the estimate which
differed materially from that used In the
British brief.
He also commended that the relative
hunting power of boats and canoes should
be carefully weighed. One white hunter
would Kill as many seals as two Indians.
He pointed out that there were many In
accuracies in the claims for prospective
catch.
