Physician Had Little Hope.

Physician Had Little Hope.
General Rosecrans was stricken with
no particular disease and the end came
through a gradual weakening Of the
system. When he was first stricken
more than two weeks ago IL was not
supposed the ailment was more than an
attack of the grippe, but though he
rallied several times. the physician new
er held out much hope for recovery,
and for the last three days the family
and friends have known the end was
very near The place where he died Is
called Rosecrans in honor Of him, and
is near a station on the Redondo rail-
way, and about twelve miles from this
city. The general had made his home
there on a large ranch devoted TO fruit

SIR WALTER BEsANT ALARMED

London. July 9.-Sir Walter Besant in
an interview on the subject of an Anglo
American alliance says: 1.-THE alliance
must come sooner or later for it will be
q question of the very existence of both
England and America.
HI am convinced that if it doesn't come
the powers will combine, first against us,
then against America. With England
fleet destroyed and England out of the
way the powers could pour millions OF
soldiers into America. For her own.safety,
however, America sooner or later will
agree with us.
''No other action, no combination OF
nations, would dare attack that alliance
while it lasted-and there is no reason
while it should not endure for centuries. -

MONEY FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS.

To the Editor Of the Press:
At the request of Surgeon Bradbury of
the First Maine Volunteers and with the
official endorsement of Adjutant General
Richards letters have been sent to all the
churches in Maine asking that q collec-
ton be taken for the sick, wounded and
otherwise distressed members of our VOL
unteer regiment. The returns from the
churches have been very satisfactory so
far as received I have at this time about
$1,000 as the results of the letter sent out,
and there are many churches to hear
from. All parts of the state are repre-
sented in this good work. The public
may wish to know how this money is
made available. 1t is deposited in one
of the Auburn banks and Surgeon Brad
bury has a check book. So the money is
safe from harm Or loss yet is Immediately
available i'll case of need. 1t is TO be used
exclusively for the sick and distressed of
our Maine volunteers under the admins.
tration Of Major Bradbury and his assis-
tants.
We trust that all churches that have
not already made a collection will do so
at once and add their contribution to
this fund. Receipts are sent for all money
received. Individual contributions have
been received ranging all the way from
81 to S25, and church collections all the
way from 81 to $8S. AZ, the largest yet re-
ceived from State street church. Portland.
The letters received accompanying the
money indicate that all the people want
in order to contribute is chance to give.
1t is the desire of the officials that this
fund be made permanent as long as we
have man in the field and that contri-
buttons be added to it constantly

GOT IT IN THE EYE.

A man somewhat intoxicated walked
into Hammond's drug store in Monument
square about nine O'Clock Saturday night
and began to make some cheap talk about
the stock of cigars to the clerk in charge
He asked the clerk what in h he knew
about cigars, anyway, and was told by
the young man that he had sold them for
several years and ought to know some
thing about them. The man then uttered
an oath and called the clerk q name that
would not look we'll in print. The clerk
walked from behind the counter and
squaring off, gave the man pretty clip
in the eye, following it up with q kick
that landed him on the sidewalk, where
he picked himself up and sneaked off be-

VALUATION FALLS SHORT.

Biddeford, July 9-Blddeford and SAGE
have not yet recovered from the effects o.
the cotton mill strikes last spring. The
operatives, who went back to work at a
reduction in wages, after standing out
against the Inevitable for three months,
are paying their ole bills, as rapidly as
possible, but it is slow work at the best.
The storekeepers say it will be year be.
fore the two cities entirely recover from
the stagnation occnsioned by the pro.
longed strike.
One effect of the strike, which was not
anticipated, is showing itself on the as
SCISSORS books. The strike began in Janu-
airy and the mills Immediately ceased pro
ducing. Orders were continually coming
in and shipments made during the period
of tie strike, SO that tie stock Of manu-
featured goods in the store houses was
unusually small when the strikers went
back to work. The corporations reaped a
their overproduotion, and left the store
houses with unusually small stocks when
the city assessors came around, the first
of April, to make up their tax assess
ment.
Biddeford's valuation shows falling
off OF about $3.50, 900 in consequence of the
spring reduction of manufactured
products in the corporation storehouses.
and Saco will doubtless find a proper
tionate lessening of its valuation, in COM
parison with the figures Of last year.
