THE DOOR SPRING.
It's Later Development ana Is widely EH-
tended Use.

"In no ono single little thing said the
middlc.agcd man, has there been q greater
advance since l was n boy than in the introduce
ton Of the door spring into comparatively COM
mon use. l suppose there must be now
hundreds OF patents on door springs. Some of
the springs are well nigh perfect. 1t is difficult
to see in what respect they could be improved.
But the main fact is the door spring itself and
it's common use in buildings OF a more or less
public character. and In many others as well.
1--WE. don't shut doors now nearly as much as
we used to; we don't stop to shut them. We arc
spared that trouble and we save time. We open
the door and push on through and leave tho
door TO take care OF itself. In the time that II
would have taken us TO close it we are six,
eight, ten feet Off; but the door Ia not neglected;
II shuts itself, calmly, quietly, and with GER
tainty rs the man marches away. There is less
slamming of doors now than ever, and fewer
doors nre left open; and the saving Of time CT
footed by the use of of the self-closing door IL in
the aggregate tremendous.
Truly In no minor feature is the progress of
civilization more apparent than in the present
common use OF the door spring."

SANFORD'S RAILROAD.
The Town Again Asked to Help Extend it
to the Coast.
Especial to the Times


Sanford. Me-, March a0.-A town meet
ing has been called for next Saturday
to see If the town will vote to help ex-
tend the Mousam River railroad to the
coast at Kittery. The article on this sub
jeot proposes that the town shall take
S15. 900 in the preferred stock of the road.
This article is backed up by a petition
signed by j. ID. Kicker and 300 others.
A similar proposition was voted down at
the annual meeting but 1t Is claimed
that this vote was not legally taken. 1t
is also claimed that there has been a
change in sentiment on the subject since
then.
The amount annually raised by the
town is about $50, QUO and it is claimed
that by the plan proposed for raising the
money, the addition to the taxes would
amount to only ne.thirtieth. The
friends of the road argue that 1T would
be of benefit to the town by opening up
new territory, giving a connection with
b e Boston & Maine and access to the
sea coast.
Other articles In the warrant call for
votes on the proposition to buy new
poor farm and sell the old Or to enlarge
the latter.

ARBITRATIONsTREATY AND APPRO.

Mr.. Bailey Will Open the Democratic
Reply-Five Minute Speeches the
Last of the Week.
Washington, March 21.-There will
probably Ee a marked contrast between
the proceedings of the two houses Of
Congress during the coming week. The
"deliberative" senate will probably pass
most Of its time behind closed doors dis
cussing the arbitration treaty. The
House will enter upon four days ego
as you please tariff debate which ID to
close at II p. m. Thursday. Mr.. Bailey
has prepared strong report in behalf
of the minority of the ways and means
committee which he will lay before the
House tomorrow. Mr.. Dingley has in
mind speech to Offset some free tariff
arguments he shrewdly guesses Mr..
Bailey's report will ADVANCE. After gen.
eral debate closes in the House on Thurs
day night five minute "bouts' will be
allowed under the "Reed rules" till the
31st Of March to give full scope to all
pent up eloquenoe. Session will begin
each day at 10 a. m. instead of noon as
heretofore. The silence of the 6enate's
legislative chamber will not prevail In
the com mittee room. The four great
appropriation bills passed the last Con-
gress and not approved by the Presi-
dent have been dumped upon the Senate
committee on appropriations of which
Mr.. Allison is chairman. They are a.sun-
dry civil, general deficiency, agricultural
and Indian appropriation bills. Each Of
these bills with one exception 60 back to
the Senate In the form in which it passed
that body after conference. The exception
is the Gilsonite or asphaltum item in the
Indian bill which is matter involving
vast pecuniary interests. 1t was inserted
by the Senate and adopted In conference
after hard struggle In the last Con-
gress. The House having no second
chance at it has stricken it out. There
is small possibility of the very compli-
Gated question of seating the appointed
Senators from Kentucky, Oregon and
Florida coming up for action this week.
In each case the credentials have been
referred to a..oommittee. The. questions in
volved are SO complicated by previous
decisions of the Senate that no rapid de-
cision is likely to be arrived at.
