Senator Morgan in his speech in the
Senate has alleged that Cleveland was in
favor of the annexation of Hawaii, pro-
vided 1t could have been brought about
under circumstances satisfactory to him
self. This is an assertion dangerous to
the cause Mr.. Morgan is advocating. If
the silver Democrats should be convinced
of it's truth the chances are that they
would vote against annexation, for it is
one of their cardinal principles to regard
everything that Mr.. Cleveland thought or
did as wrong. and to be combatted.

Tie official statement for November,
1897, shows that the value of articles ex-
ported from the United States in that
month was about seven million dollars
greater than in November, 1896. The
figures for theft eleven months of 1897
show gain of eighty-six million dollars
over the corresponding eleven months of
1896 under the Wilson law. The exporta-
tion of manufactures increased in these
elyven months twenty-seyen million dol
lars in round numbers, as compared with
the corresponding months of 1896, show
ing gain of over 10 per cent. After all
under high protection it would seem that
our exports of manufactures are not
falling off to very alarming extent.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH DEDICA TED

Norway, January 2l.-The new Epis-
copal church at Norway was dedicated

of Portland, bishop of Maine, assisted by
Rev. Marcus Carroll, the missionary in
charge. Several prominent clergymen
from various parts of the state also par
ticipated. There WAS special music by
the choir which appeared in vestments
for the first time.

On account.of prevailing hard times in
the vicinity and in accordance with the
cut down of wages in the mills, a minis
ter in Manchester, N. H., voluntarily
proposed a reduction of 25 per cent in his

Such an exhibition of unself1shness ia
indeed noteworthy.

An Ellsworth cat made q fatal mistake
Monday night. The thermometer was
far below zero, and when pussy found
the entrance of the cold air duct to the
furnace in DR.. A. G. Hagerty's house,
she thought it offered a refuge from the
wintry blasts. The warmth from the
furnace lured her further and further IN
until she reached the end of the duct and
jumped to the hot drum of the furnace.
Then. too late, poor pussy realized her
mistake. Her cries of agony aroused the
family. but the cat could not be reached
Her cries grew fainter and fainter, un-
til finally they ceased. In the morning.
with considerable difficulty. the charred
remains were taken from the furnace.
The legs were burned to crisp. Stand
ing on that hot drum, slowly roasting to
death, that cat must have suffered all the
agony it is possible for dumb beast to
suffer.

affairs for years. They bad relied entirely
upon Mr.. Foster, and he had run the
bank as exclusively as if it had been his
own private institution. One of them
in explanation OF his neglect, says
he thought Mr. Foster was such a good
Christian gentleman that he did not need
watching. 1t is a great pity that men so
negligent of their duties as these trustees
confess to being cannot be compelled to
make up the deficiency out of tt cir own
p pgckets. Such lesson would be good
one for chem and for other trustees.

Probably not all the Senators VINO
voted to take up Teller's resolution Will
vote for it on final passage. but after
eliminating all those about whose att1-
tude on the merits of the question there
is O reasonable doubt, it appears very
clear that the silverites still have ma
iority in the upper House of Congress.
This shows Of course that no legislation
to strengthen and protect the existing
standard. could possibly become law at
this session. 1t disposes of the Gage bill,
the Monetary Conference bill. and all
other similar measures as far as any
reflective legislation is concerned. Never
theless to offset the bad effect that the at
titude of the Senate may have on
the public credit, 1t would be wise to pre-
pare some simple declaration committing
the government to the gold standard and
press IL to passage in the House, No
elaborate currency reform measure can
be passed, but simple declaration in
favor of maintaining the present gold
standard would probably encounter no Sc
rious obstacles, and it might do much
good.

The City of Berlin is situated in Coos County,
New Hampshire, on the Androscoggin River,
which furnishes at this point one of the finest
water powers in New England
The Boston & Maine and Grand Trunk Rail
roads give ample facilities.
The large Plants of the Berlin Mills Co., the
Burgess Sulphite Fibre Company and the Glen
Co. are located at Berlin.
In 1880 Berlin had population tic Of Of 100; in
1890 the population was 3l29 IN 1898 1881 ana IS
now estimated to be over 5000
In 1895 the Berlin Mills Company employed
575 men, the Glen Co. 400. the Burgess Sulphite
Fibre Company 125 and other smaller concerns
since then the Burgess Sulphite Fibre Com
pany have doubled the size of their plant, the
EIen Co have rebuilt and very much enlarged
their three mills and a shoe factory has been
built which now employs 45O operatives.
In addition to the water power required by
the above mentioned corporations 1900 horse
power IS vet unemployed and its development
Will result in steady growth in population in

The influx of tramps to the Somerset
county Jail at Skowhegan has subsidized
of late. There was one time when they
came in very freely and there were from
35 to 40 inmates, many of them knight
of the road. Now there are but 10 prison
ers of all kinds in the Jail and but few OF
them are tramps. We are reconciled to
this status says the Reporter.

Skowhegan Tuesday afternoon, says the
Reporter, caused by small fire in
Charles Sayer's house On tho North side,
which was soon extinguished. The fire
caught in the carpet around the sitting
room stove and had got under good head
way when discovered. in few minutes
longer it would have been impossible to
have saved the house. Again we are
brought to face the fact that we are en-
tirely helpless as far as having any pro
lection against fire is concerned. 1t Is
somewhat strange that we should be SO
lethargic in this matter.

NV Friend from India.

1t isn't often a playwright finds himself
in such a position that he can compel
manager to pay him weekly royalties on
a play before it has been produced, but
that Is just the happy predicament in
which Mr.. II. A. Souchet once found him
self, He's the man who wrote MY
Friend From India" After that piece
made it's phenomenal and unexpected hit,
he wrote another comedy, THE Man
From Mexico" OF course, Managers
Smyth and Rice, who owned My Friend
From tIndia," bought the play and con-
tracted to produce It before March l.
The earlier comedy had proved such a
success, however, that they really hadn't

These things seem to be greatly in
creasing of late, and without anv ap-
parent cause. We see more men who
lack vigCr than ever before. We meet
more women who seem broken down
than in the past. Surely there must be
a cause fer all this--and there is.
These troubles can arise from but one
cause, namely, disordered kidneys or
urinary organs. Indeed, II is now ad-
mitted that the region of the lower
body is the prime source of most ply
sical ills When the kidneys become
diseased the blood becomes poisoned
and all the troubles such as sleepless-
ness, lack of appetite, nervelessness,
restlessness, tired and despondent feel
ings follow in its wake.
The truth is. the people are not well:
but they should be, ana they can be if
they would only take the means of re-
covery that are near at hand. In writ
ing upon this subject. DIR. r. A. Gum,
Dean and Professor of Surgery of the
United States Medical College, New
York, says

the blood is in an unhealthy state
