Shall Augusta aaye a City aospitaI7

There will he a mass meeting of Au
gusta citizens at City hall this evening
to consider the subject of a local city
hospital. 1t will then and there be de-
termned to what extent popular sent-
ment here is in favor of such a worthy
institution. There is no better place in
Maine to establish a hospital or one
where the outlook for the permanent
success and usefulness of such an in
stitution is brighter than right here in
Augusta the capital of our State. The
location of our city almost at the exact
center of population in Maine, and the
fact that the four cities of the kenne-
bee have an aggregate population of
nearly 10000 and with populous outly-
ing villages and towns, gives it fully as
large population to serve with good
hospital facilities. as any city in the
State. 1t is matter in which our citi-
zens generally may we'll feel just
pride The task of carrying forward
such a worthy movement as this, ought
not to devolve upon few men. 1t is
one in which our citizens generally
should lend helping hand With
spirit of cooperation the project can
be successfully carried through with
out becoming burdensome to anyone.
Here is a field for home missionary
work of the most practical kind. 1t is
work that may we'll enlist the cordial
support of all our churches and of
every man. woman and child in Angus
ia, who has at heart the best interests
there may be large attendance at to-
nights mass meeting. Let this subject
be fully considered. The general stand
ing of any community must always be
determined by the public spirit of its
citizens. and the intelligent interest they
feel in it's welfare. During the past
few years the people of Augusta have
given substantial evidence of their
devotion to the citys welfare.
and now that project in the
line of progress and in the interests of
humanity is before them, we believe
that they may be depended upon to
turn out in good force, and give the
subject the consideration it merits Let
every one come to City hall tonight.

proposition to forbid the payment of
pensions to the women who become the
widows of veterans whom they marry
hereafter, or TO the children of such
marriages. The scandal of marrying
girls to Old men with one foot in the

repetition of the story of the Revolu-

pensions, almost hundred and twenty

ground that they are widows of sol
