AGAINST DISCRIMINA TON.

Biddeford, August 13.-Juage B. b.
CIeaves of the Biddeford Municipal court
today made a novel announcement in con-
nection with the prosecution of the liquor
laws. The claim has been made that re-
cent seizures of liquors have been based
on political spite. Judge Cleaves seems to
take that view of it. This afternoon when
Deputy Sheriff Renouf applied to him
for search warrant the judge refused
to issue it, and said:
~ have decided to issue no more war
rants to be used in prosecution of single
individuals, while 10 or IL other in
dividuals VIGOROUSLY violate the liquor
law every day and are allowed to con-
tinue. am opposed to discrimination in
the enforcement of the liquor Law, land had
made up my nina that the next man
who came in here with complaint and
asked for warrant would be turned
down unless l was satisfied that an I'M
partial enforcement of the law is contem-
plated.
Deputy Shsriff Renouf expressed sur
prise at the courts refusal to issue inc
warrant desired, bus was unable by argu-
ment to change Judge Cleaves's DECISION

FRIENDS IN CHILL.

Washington. August 13.-As indicating
the sentiment in Chill toward the United
States and expressing the view taken OF
the war between the United States and
Spain, an address was delivered to the
United States minister, Henry L. Wilson,
on the 4th of July last by the board of
directors of the society of the American
Union at Santiago, Chilli. The address is
in the form of testimonial of respect
and continental confraternity on the an
niversary of the declaration of independ-
ence of this country. The address states
that the object of the society, which was
founded nearly fortyEyears ago is to en-
courage and assist in securing the indie
pendence of thu American people who still
remain subject to the colonial nomination
of European Enations. 1t concludes:
"The board Of directors of the society of
the American union esteem it their duty
to offer to the United States and through
you to the government Of President Nc
Kinley the most enthusiastic applause for
its noble and heroic protection of the
emancipation of Cuba. Porto Rico and
the Philippines and to tender to you a
respectful salute as worthy representa-
tive of such q great nation in this day of
glorious memories for your country.

CLOSING THE CONTRACTS.
What the New England Fair Managers
Have to Offer as Drawing Cards.

There was never year since the New
England fair has been held at Rigby,
when there were not plenty of attractions
to be had," said Manager Alonzo Libby
of Rigby park, Saturday, s'but this year
we have found it considerable of a task
to find first. class attractions for the fair.
Whether the war is responsible for the
scarcity I am unable to say, but instead
of their coming to us, as has been the
case in the past. we have been obliged
to go out and hunt up showmen and
agents in order to make up programme
of attractions outside of track sports and
the regular departments of the fair.
"But after considerable effort we have
booked quite number of really fine at
fractions. Stock entries have been piling
in on us at great rate, during the last
fortnight. There will be more stock
herded within Rigby inolosure on the
week of the fair than was ever exhibited
at an agricultural show in New England
The exhibit of blooded horses entered
for premiums will probably be up to that
of last year, but that was not as large as
it ought to have been. The farmers of
New England eeem to be paying less at
tention to horse breeding than in former
years. But If there are any horse stalls
left we shall find use for them in taking
care of the big stock entry"
These are busy times with the Rigby
management. The office on the fourth
floor of the First National bank building
is veritable workshop. The clerks are
putting in lorg hours recording entries,
sending out premium lists, booking ex-
hibits, writing contracts and answering
a daily flood of letters filed with all sorts
of inquiries about the big fair.
In the list of light harness sports there
are nine stake events, and an effort is
being made to sandwich in six class
races. Entries are coming In well. The
stake events were paid up weeks ago, and
will take care of themselves. The trot-
ting purses amount to $500.
A large stage, with open front and
sides, has been. erected in the infield at
Kigby, beside the judges stand, and
various attractions will be served up
there between heats. Contracts have
been made with the Painter brothers,
acrobnts, Prof. Dave Burke and his
trained dogs, and the Rael trio of panto-
mime performers. Towards Alabama
troubadours will also have a part in the
stage performance.
The driverless PAGER Albatross has been
engaged for the week of the fair. The
management is also arranging for a
series of amateur bicycle races.
The midway is expected to be up to
the mark of last year. 1t will have MANY
new features.
