Mr.. J. b. Heating. the British vice.
consul at Portland, in the report to his
government. which he is just COM
pIeting, will touch upon the opera
tions of the Maine liquor law. The re-
port will say concerning the success
of the system: From the inquiries !
have made from many competent au-
thorities, ! gather that the condition
of the Maine farmer has been improv-
ing in every way during the last ~
years, and the neat, progressive and
thriving farms now existing through
out the State stand as proofs of this
statement. 1t seems to be the gen
eral opinion that a great deal OF this
progress and prosperity are due to the
Maine liquor law. | am told that a
little over 40 years ago farmhouse
| shingled or clapboarded, was rarely
seen, and that the average farmer of
| that period who was able to give his
front door q coat of red paint was
| considered fairly we'll off. The farm
laborer at that date, before beginning
his daily work, required an allowance
of Medford or Jamaica rum. and his
refreshment during the day is stated
| to have consisted of liquor instead OF
cat meal water 1t is universally adj
mitted that the Maine liquor law is
not enforced in the cities, but
think it may safely be said thai
throughout the rural districts the law
has had a wonderfully good effect, ant

A wall comes from Dexter that the
young men who are calling on their
best girls don't know when to go home
since the night Waterman at the Stone
mill has stopped striking the hours be-
tween 9 =. NJ. and A. NJ, and it is
even limited that some Of the young
ladies who are losing all their beauty
sleep and don't want to offend callers
by too broad hints are quietly working
to have the Old orders restored.
Five years ago a family living on
College street, Lewiston, released Il
couple of English rabbits which they
had kept as pets, in a wood lot near the
house. Within month the farmer
has become painfully aware that the
rabbits are multiplying rapidly. They
have eaten the tops off half an acre Of
early peas and have barked few
young apple trees. The family has in
creased, the farmer says, from, two to
fifty or sixty and the Wocd lot is full
Of holes. They differ from the Ameri-
can native in many ways.

Count Melgar Talks

Lucerne, Aug. 19.-In answer to ques lions submitted to Don Carlos, Count Melgar, his chamberlain, has made the following state ment regarding the pretender's uprising in Spain
 T did not say, as has been reported, that my chief would issue proclamation to his adherents in Spain, as soon as the pre- liminaries of peace had been signed. did say, and repeat 1t, that he will do so when peace itself shall have been formally declared. The exact date, therefore de- bends upon the time when the Paris peace commission shall have concluded its la bors.
 "Don Carlos has not ordered the present rislngs in Spain. They are spontaneous outbursts showing that the spirit of the nation is with the prince. We do not need men. We can count upon so many fighting men in Spain that we have declined as- sistance from outsiders. But we do not anticipate such opposition.'

BUTLER SURRENDERED.
Says There Shall Be No More Fusion
 By Populists.

Houston, Tex, Aug. 19.-In speech at the big populist encampment at Greenville to- day Senator Marion Butler of North Caro- lima, national chairman of the populist party, surrendered to the middle-of- the- road, or anti-fusionists. He declared that as national chairman he would promise that there would be no trades or combines with either of the old parties before the next national convention; that he would call that convention at least a month before the democratic or republican conventions con- vened and thus prevent an opportunity of fusion. He referred to the Omaha agree ment," which is an agreement between himself and Milton Parke of Dallas, the leader of the middle of the road element.

UNITED STATES
 MAY BE COMPELLED
To Permanently Occupy Cuba and the Philippines, Says
 London Times.

London, Aug. 2O.-The Times this morning says editorially that it foresees circum- stances which may compel the United States to a permanent occupation of Cuba, and adds:
 "If America is prepared to undertake the responsibility of the government of the whole Philippine group it is hard to see how any other power could legitimately in- terfere. If the United States repudiates such responsibility a very perilous state of things might ensue, because 1t would not be easy to dispute the right of other pow CTS to terminate the state of anarchy.
 Therefore, many difficulties may be avoided by American annexation. In any case no European power may rely upon finding the United States as easy to coeroe as Japan."

KID M'PARTLAND
Defeated Owen Zeigler Before Atlantic
 Club at New York.

New York, Aug. 19.-Kid Mcfarland, of this city, and Owen Ziegler, of Pennsylva- mia, fought twenty-five rounds at catch weights tonight before the Atlantic club, and Charley White, the referee, decided in favor of McPartland who, with the excep- tion of the last two rounds, had the better of the bout.
 Mcfarland surprised many of those who watched the fight by using his right hand effectively while his left was continually playing havoc with ziegler's face ziegler fought desperately in the last two rounds and had the better of the New Yorker in the work accomplished, but this was not enough to counterbaarce the lead which the kid had gained previously.
 Both men stripped in the best of condi- tiOn.

HORSE SHOW A

Monday was horse show day. Tbs
weather was cold and very damp, the
mud was deep, and 1t was altogether an
unpleasant day. The afternoon was some
improvement on the forenoon, but still it
was bad. There were not many horses on
exhibition, but all we saw were good
ones.
Mr.. Frank Stewart rode a handsome
2-year-old, "Silver Rose" sired by Ken
lucky Eagle, first dam by MontroSe. This
Ia we'll trained young stallion, and Is
already q fine saddler.
Mr.. Frank w. Davis exhibited his hand
some stallion, "Major Wondermaker,"
sired by Peacemaker. He is q dark bay,
eight years old, is of HambIetonian stock,
and has q record of 2:I6.
Mr.. Frank Stewart also showed "Qlea
Air." an English draft horse, nine years
old. and q beautiful mahogany bay. Also
= black Jack.
Mr.. b. c. Blincoe showed piedmont,
Jr.," sired by Piedmont 1913, dam by
Montrose, a very excellent horse.
John BOuldridge had on exhibition his
handsome horse, Young Ingomar, 7 years
old, out of a rIembrino mare. This is a
good horse and a fine roadster.
Mr.. Zach Wright exhibited a very fine
Gelding, four years old, seventeen hands
high. This horse had never been ridden
till Monday, but acted like a very i~ntelli-
gent animal. He vii! he kept at the
livery barl. and used as a family horse.

A NEGRO PURSE-SNATCHER.
He Attempts to Rob a White Lady. and
Strikes Her With His Fist.

Wednesday afternoon, about 4 O'Clock,
Mrs. Albert Letchworth left her home, in
East Lexington, and started down town
to do some shopping. She carried her
purse in her hand, and had reached TWEEN
tieth street, when she noticed a young
negro man following her. Her suspic-
ions were slightly aroused, but the negro
disappeared, and she had about forgotten
him, when, just as she crossed Seven
teenth street, at Clagett's corner, the
negro stepped from behind a tree and
grabbed hold OF her purse. She held on
to il and screamed for help, when the
negro brute struck her in the face with
his fist, partially stunning her. Some
ladies, visiting at the residence OF Mrs.
Sallie Long, heard Mrs. Letchworth
scream, and came out in the street. The
Degro became frightened and ran north
on Seventeenth street and turned into the
alley. A negro driver was unloading coal
In the alley, and when asked who the
man was who ran past him, he said it
was Frank Bolton. Later, when ques-
toned by the officers, he said he did not
know who had passed him. The officera
caught Bolton, after a search, and took
him before Mrs. Letchworth, who posi-
lively identified him as the negro who
had attempted to rob her and had struck
her. Her face was badly bruised where
the brute had struck her, but she was not
seriously injured.
Bolton is a worthless negro, who has
just been released from the reform school,
which institution evidently failed to have
the desired effect upon him. He is now q
candidate for the penitentiary, but before
he goes we think that about a hundred
drops of strap oil, well applied, would
teach him that a white woman is toe
sacred for him to look upon, and that his
black hands must never touch her.
