A. H. Stewart, Deputy Warden
Of the penitentiary at Frankfort,
resigned on Thursday. He went
to Knott county where he will
raise a company ofvolunteers to go
in Congressman Colson's regi-
ment. Probably he realized that
soon he would lose his position,
and was willing to seek glory and
a salary in fighting the Spaniards.

The Marquis Of Salisbury, the
great political opponent of Mr..
Gladstone, in a magnificent tribute
paid the grand old man., whose
life work we'll done, so lately laid
him down to rest, said: "Mr.
Gladstone was ever guided in all
his efforts by a lofty moral ideal.
The deceased will be remembered
not SO much for his political work
as for the great example, hardly
paralleled in history, Of the great
Christian statesman.
Gladstone won a place in West
minister, but if those who have
passed over the river may look
back from the thither shore, he
would rather have deserved Sails
bury's tribute than have secured a
resting place among the famous
abbey's galaxy of immortals.

For Briaadier General.

Major A. I. Wood, of this city, is
being talked of for Brigadier General
of volunteers. Governor Bradley,
who ia a warm personal friend of
Major Wood, will, no doubt, be glad
to recommend the appointment to the
President. Maj. Wood was q brave
soldier in the Civil War and can
point with pardonable pride to his
record in Uncle Sans service during
that bloody conflict. The appoint
ment Of Maj. Wood to the position of
Brigadier General would be received
with marked favor by . large msjori-
ty of the people in this end Of ths
State, irrespective Of any political af-
fliations.

The Second Regiment Of Ken
lucky Volunteer Infantry left Lex
ington Wednesday afternoon for
Chickamauga. There were very
many close friends Of the soldiers
at Lexington to bid them a final
farewell before they started off to
the army. Many tears were shed,
and to the credit Of the manly set
of men who will give a good &C
count Of themselves in the coming
hours and scenes that try mems
souls, be it said they were not all
shed by women. For a soldier
that will fight till the last drop of
his hearts red blood is spilled,
commend US to the man whose af-
fections are so strong as to force a
tear to the eye when he parts with
his loved ones.

The election of trustees for Mt,
Sterling's Public Graded School
which comes off next Saturday,
June 4th., deserves more than
a passing notice by our citizens
The people Of Mt, Sterling have a
deep interest in this school, AS
at present conducted it is an insti-
tuition of which the city may well
be proud. Let its management
pass into the hands Of an ineffic-
lent or indifferent board of trustees
and there will be very different
state ofaffairs. The present board
is an exceptionally efficient one.
We very seriously doubt if there
can be found the same number of
men in the city who can give such
general satisfaction and such faith
full service to the public as this
board has done. ".,' ..'
While we have not heard that
the board now in office is seeking.
a reelection we are firmly persua-
ded that the educational interest
of the city will not be conserved
by change. Under the admins
tration of the present board and
the very efficient corps ofteachers
that have been in charge, the in
stitution has been so built up that
the people of Mt. Sterling can
point with pride to their Public
Graded School. Let us see to it
that nothing is done to lower the
standard of education in our midst

BIG BLAZE At OLD ORCHARD.

Old Orchard, February ga fire which
at one time threatened to sweep away the
entire business section of this town,
started in wooden building owned by
Mrs. W. E. Leavitt of Boston, at 4 O'Clock
this morning.
The flames quickly spread to the large
three story wooden block owned by Major
e. j. Day, and this was soon mass OF
flames. At this point the fire appeared TO
be beyond the control of the local depart
ment, and the old post office building
owned by Postmaster Mott E. Hill. but
unocoupied, was the next to catch IRE.
The entire square appeared to be IN dan
ger of destruction and messages were sent
to Saco and Biddeford for assistance. A
steamer from the latter city came on
special train, but before it arrived, the
department had gained control OF the IRE.
The total loss is estimated at about
S11 900.
The buildings which ordinarily have
tenants in the summer are unoccupleo
during the winter, and this fact alone
accounts for the small financial loss.
Had the wind been blowing hard, moth.
ing. apparently. could have saved the en-
tire district. The cause of the fire is
mystery, but it is supposed to have been
the work of tramps.
The losses are: Major E. J. Day, $4,000;
insured $500; Mrs. W. E. Leavitt,
So, 500; insured $1,000; Mott E. Hill,
So. 600: insured $500.
