"Sowing the Wind.N

An advance notice says of
Sowing The Wind" which
comes to the Grand on the 10Th
inst: The play deals with a
phase of social life that is con-
tinually pressing itself upon
thoughtful minds, and yet which
is of such a delicate nature that
few dramatic authors are able to
handle it in a suitable way for
stage purpose. The relations of
the sexes, and their relative
moral responsibility for the main
tainance Of domestic purity is
Mr.. Grundy's theme and he
treats it with the earnestness Of
a philosopher and the skill of a
master. He brings together as
a principal and opposing charac-
tiers in the play a young woman
and her father, neither being
aware of their relationship to
each other, the girls mother
having been betrayed and cast
aside by the father. This man
is now the adopted father of his
daughters lover and is refusing
to permit the marriage until the
mystery of the girls parentage
is cleared up.
The contest between these two
so strangely brought together, is
the basis of the plot. Some of
the scenes between then are as
thrilling and pathetic as any
thing that can be imagined. 1t
is a warfare of "Sex against
Sex" and is conducted with pas
sionate splendor on both sides.
The costumes are triumphs in
that line, being splendid repro
duction of the style in vogue in
in 1880.

Wear Sunshine.

Wear it. 1t is your privilege.
1t has the quality of mercy; it is
twice blessed. 1t blesses its pos
SCISSOR and all who come under
its benign influence. It is a
daily boon to him who wears it,
and a constant Overlooking bene-
diction to all his friends. Men
and women, youth and children,
seek the friendship of the sunny
faced. All doors are open to
those who smile. All social cir
cles welcome cherriness. A
sunny face is an open sesame to
heart and home. By it burdens
are lightened, cares dispelled,
sorrows banished and hope made
to reign triumphant, where fear,
doubt and dependency held
high carnival.
A little child on the street of a
large city, wishing to cross a
point where the surging throng
and the passing vehicles made
the feat dangerous to the strong,
and especially to the weak,
paused, hesitated and then
asked sunny-faced old gentle
man to carry her across. 1t was
the sunny face that won the
child's confidence. Childhood
makes no Observation-Disclosures.

LITTLE BANNERS.

The offende4 never forgives.
Woman lives for sentiment,
man for action.
He that is slow to wrath is of
great understanding.
Of two evils, choose the least;
of two sins, neither
1t pleases a woman to be told
that she is fascinating.
1t pleases a woman to call her
a sensible little woman.
Speak well of your friend, of
your enemy say nothing.
He who says what he likes
will hear what he does not like,
Satisfaction comes by inches,
disappointment by the foot.
Opinions are mortgages the
world holds upon our liberty.
He who has a thousand friends
has not one friend to spare.
The doctor is often more to be
dreaded than the disease.
Cupid has given some people
the hardest fall they ever got.
Recollection is the only para
disc out of which we can not be
driven.
Some people, like the earth,
have to be broken up before
they become useful.
They who cannot have what
they like should learn what they
have.
Opportunity makes short calls.
When one is out it leaves a card
and goes on.

Mr.. w. C. Bell, of Bellville,
whose horse fell with him several
weeks past died at his home
Sunday. Since the accident he
has been almost wholly uncon-
scious, only recovering sufficient
ly to state how the accident oc-
cured, It was feared that he had
met with foul play, and his ex-
PLANTATION was fortunate to re-
move these apprehensions. Mr..
Bell was well known in BRENNAN
and in Washington county, and
he had many friends among her
citizens to mourn his untimely
death.

Water, More Water,

The city of Brennan now finds
itself confronted with a very
serious problem in the shortness
of its water supply, and our city
fathers will find that they can
conserve the best interests of the
city by contracting with the well
men, who have sunk the artesian
we'll on the waterworks property
to depth of $50, to continue the
work until water in sufficient
quantity to supply the demands
made on the plant has been
secured. More water must be
had, and it can be obtained only
by boring. Therefore, continue
the good work until a sufficient
quantity of water for all purpose
has been secured.

ApIupGED INSANE.

In the county court yesterday
Clara Tabinsky was tried and
adjudged insane. An effort will
be made to get her in the Asylum
at Austin as early as possible.
AS found by the jury Clara
Tabinsky is about twenty three
years old, and Polish nativity,
that she had two attack of in
sanity, the last on October End
and that there was evidence
of hereditary insanity in her
family; that she had no estate,
and that there was no one liable
for her support.
This unfortunate girl lived
near Burton in the year 1895,
and fell into a disgrace over
which she seemed to brood until
her mind was dethroned. She
was on Nov. 81, 1895 adjudged
insane and sent to the Asylum at
Austin. She remained in the
Asylum about seven months
when she returned apparently
well. But when once the mind
has lost its balance it is easy to
be upset again. For nearly a year
and a half she performed the
labors of a servant, and only
when baff1ed in her efforts to
marry the man of her choice
were there any returng symp-
toms of insanity. Saturday last
while performing the household
duties at the residence of Mr..
Hohlt where she had been en-
ployed for seven months, her
conduct attracted the attention of
her employer. From strange
behavior her conduct grew more
violent and finally it became nee
essary to place her in confine-
ment. 1t is to be hoped that she
will be kept at the Asylum, when
she reaches it, until permanently
cured.

Additional color is given to the re-
ports of some weeks ago, which indi-
Gated that the silver mine owners
were preparing to substitute Towne
for Bryan as their presidential can
didate for 1900, by the fact that Mr..
Towne has recommended concen
tration Of attention upon free silver
without reference to the other fea
lures of the Chicago platform, and
that his advice is being generally fol-
lowed, much to the disgust of Mr..
Bryan, who wants the other anarchis-
tic features of the platform also kept
at the front, as is shown by his recent
public utterances on this subject. 1t

put up the Doodle for the silver cam
paign intend to drop Bryan as rapidly

The newest newspaper in Maine is

of the newest neighbors of the Times.
THE AMERICAN welcomes it to East
ern Maine. Editor Lewis formerly
published the Messenger, at Pemaquid
which discontinued publication a few
weeks ago. 1t is the plant Of the
Messenger which has been moved to
Cherrytield. There is certainly need
for hustling newspaper in western

the initial number OF the Times,
Editor Lewis seems perfectly able to
supply the need.
