Portland Transcript: "A.merohant OF
this city, who is brought by the nature of
his business in close touch with COM
mercial travellers. says that 1t is generally
admitted that Portland offers buyers as
good lines of goods and at as low, and In
many cases lover, prices than are had in
Boston, where the expenses Of the dealer
are much higher. He says the cost of the
round trip bewteen Boston and Portland
is so insignificant that the representatives
of the best houses in the larger cities
upon reaching Boston quite generally
continue on to this city, where they find
a good market for high grade commodi-
ties. This is manifestly to the advantage
of Maine buyers, who are saved the
trouble and expense of a trip to, and So
journ in, Boston,"

The Kidnapping OF a. little baby in
New York recalls several interesting
cases OF the kind. OF course the case of
Charley Ross, Of Philadelphia, comes first
to mind. Nearer home occurred thu dis
appearance sixty years ago. of three-ysars-
old John johnson of Lower Biddeford.
The little fellow was playing with his
brothers and sisters one afternoon when
suddenly they missed him. All efforts TO
find clue to his whereabouts were futile
and finally nearly, every one decided that
he had fallen into the river, though few
believed he had been stolen. Thirty or
forty years afterwards party of In 1ians
camrei in Bi1dsford and q sister of the
missing johnson saw among them a man
she believed to be her long-lost brother.
Her parents were also sure the mau, who
was called John Glossian. was their child;
but he himself. did not believe and the
Indians could not or would not throw
any light on the subject. He had mar
ried an Indian woman and again went
away with them, but later he became con-
WINGED that he was not one of them and
came to his family. He now lives in
Hollis on q farm.

Christian Scientists all over the world
are just now looking toward Boston, for
the first Sunday IN June is the day of the
annual communion service In the First
Church Of Christ, Scientist. on Falmouth
street, and II the past attendance at the
church on such occasions is anything to
90 by, four or five thousand people will
be present. They cannot all get inside the
church at a single lservice, but two SER
vices, one duplication of the other, are
customarily held on Sundays. and it is
possibls that there maybe third, II nee
essary. this year. Many of those who an
nualiyNare present at the communion SER
vice come from New England cities and
towns, particularly from the places near
Boston; but hundreds come from other
sections of the country. so that every
state and every large city is represented.
Besides this there Is large delegation
from Canada especially from the dis

Montreal are the centres; and representa-

The leople of Lake City, S. O., the
town in which tine negro postmaster was
shot because he would not resign his office,
have 3 been without postoffice ia
cilities ever since this occurrence.
They have recently appealed to
the post Office department for
the resstAblishment of the Office. No
doubt the office was discontinued
and has been kept closed to this time rs
punishment of>the people, and who will
say that 1t was not deserved. The people
were in sympathy with the mob that
lynched the postmaster, both before and
after the lynching, and but for that SYM
pathy 1t would not have taken place. 1t
is impossible to punish the lynohers
through the law, because jury must be
taken from among their sympathizers.
Why not then punish them and their sym
pathiEers by dspriving them of mai
facilitiesf The government never did a
more righteous thing than when 1t or
dered this postotiics discontinued.

on the first ballot among half dozen
candidates. Kurtz has a following, and
so has Harry Al Dougherty. who was
formerly Hanna man but deserted
when he failed to set his endorsement
for the eoyernorship. He il now coquet-
ting with the Kurtz- Bushnell factors
Lieut.. Gov. Jones Is also in the field, and
there are three or four others IN the back
ground ready to come forward II the
signs are ptopitious.
No candidate now has anywhere near
a majority of the votes, though Nash
doubtless has the largest number OF any
OF them. Cox, the Cincinnati boss. will
carry hundred votes in his pocket TO
be delivered TO the candidate, he says,
who will promise the most for Cox. But
there Is contesting delegation from
Cincinnati and that may be admitted.
One thing that complioates the situation
very much IL the different plans by which
delegates have been selected. Cleveland
will send three setsof delegates all chosen
by different methods. 1t will take long
time, doubtless, to settle the mem bership
of the convention. There are apparently
no differences in regard TO platform, but
there are plenty in regard to candidates
to make the convention very long and
heated. There have been threats OF
bolt II the Hanna candidate succeeded In
the convention. but probably the opposi-
ton will not go SO far ms that. Were 1t

THE OHIO REPUBLICANS.

The Ohio Republican State convention
which assemblies at Columbus today bids
fair to be as lively as any in the history
of that State. 1he great issue is Hanna
and anti-Hanna. and the delegates are
all lined up ON the one side or the other
of It. All the factions profess loyalty to
the administration and to the principles
of the Republican party. The contest
over the selection OF delegates has been
unusually warm, and In many places
bitter. and some towns win send as many
as three delegations, each claiming to be
the only regular one Foraker has been
unusually quiet in the contest, probably
because he does not wish to imperil bis
chances for reelection to the Senator
ship. but the faction with which he has
usually trained has been active enough
The Hanna people have united on Judge
George K. Nash for governor. The anti
Hanua are agreed only upon one thing

the account Of Mark Twain's presenta-
tion to the Austrian emperor is laugha-
BILE. But ISN'T en- affectation Of embar-
rassment when meeting very illustrious
personages one Of Marks old tricksp IL
seems to me that read several years ago,
just where do not remem Der, something
about Mr.. Clemens's Introduction to
President Grant. Mr. Clemens was the
recipient of one of those steady, searching
stares for which the president was noted.
Thereupon q the humorist became COM
pletely discontented, and though feeling
1t up to him" to say something, was
suddenly bereft of both ideas and voice.
After most awkward (for Mr.. Clemens)
interval of silence, the fiustered man OF
letters recovered himself sufficiently to
say, "Um--ah. MIR. President, I'm EN-
barrassed, are your"
But THIS is not all of the narrative. 1t
goes on to relate that few years there
after President Grant met MIR. Clemens
again, and the president remember Mr..
Clemens, and perhaps Mr.. Clemens the
president. This time, as the two SHOOK
hands, President Grant, with a twinkle
In his eye. said: "Howd'ye do, Mr..
Clemens; glad to see you again. I'm not

There is said to be ray of hope In
Sioux Falls, (South Dakota) Investments.
where SO much Portland and other Maine
money went a few years ago. Real estate
is looking up little, The big packing
house with floor space of ten acres was
left unconp leted when the boom broke.
Much eastern money went into this,
one Portland man putting In $4,000.
This has recently been purchased by a
New York company who will complete
and operate 1t, and it is hoped the enter
prise will materially help property in that
city. The original investors got but a per
centage of their money.

Some of the Chicago papers are oppos.
ing MIR. Henderson of Iowa for the
Speakership because they do not think he
sufficiently enamoured with the policy of
extension. The most Important specihca-
tion in the Indictment against him Is
that when asked in the House of Repre-
sentative if he would farcibly annex the
Philippines he replied that he did not
think he would. In this reply he simply
gave his adhesion to the sentiment the
President expressed In his message to
Congress before the Spanish war when he
said that forcible annexation would be
criminal aggression and was not to be
thought of. Gen. Henderson's position
was practically the position of the admin
istration at the time he spoke, and it is
claimed to be it's position today. AS we
understand it the claim is that our opera
lions in the Philippines are not primarily
to foreibly annex the islands, but fulfil
obligations thrust upon us by unforeseen
circumstances.

With Tammany divided there is some
chance that the city-g overnment may fall
into the hands Of honest and patriotic
men. With Tammany solid there is little
or no chance of the kind. for though the
majority OF the voters of New York I'M
