Ny wife has been using Chamber

The Somerset reporter., 1899-02-09

A recent statement by Bishop Potter
of Albany, n. Y. that the saloon is the
poor mans club, has caused much COM
ment among the people of that State and
done much harm bv inducing young men
to habitually frequent such places where
the drinking hahit is acquired. No man
is welcome in these places without he
spends his money for drink, and the
poor man, much less than the rich, can
i'll afford to squander his money in that
way when his wife and family need it in
the home. Bishop Potter has been
quoted in support of The saloon as he
did not expect to be. He knows, aud
all know, that the liquor saloon is the
poor mans worst enemy, the place
where he is robbed Of his money, and
his wife and children robbed of the liv.
ing Justly their due.

A PraisewOrthy Object.

We learn from the columns of the
HalOwell Register that the society for
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of
that city, held M entertainment for the
benefit of that society, Monday evening,
January Both, which WAS well patron
lied, and was followed by a sale NJ the
home of Miss Carrie Macomber. The
Register of Feb. 4, says:
"rhe place of honor belongs to Mis-.
Clarence L. Weston, nee Marie Macom-
Der, who presented an excellent analysis
of the characters OF Macbeth and his
lady. together with several readings
from the play. From the incarnation of
the witches over the boiling cluldron,
the play is a gloomy one, but the essay
ist made it a most interesting theme.
fhe readings, particularly the introduce
tory solilequy, were rendered with tx
crllcnt taste--a strength of rend, rig
shown in self.possess,d restraint.
Mrs. Weston vas for term of years n
very successful Boston teacher; there
abe had especial advantages in study of
literature, and brings to her analysis of
Shakespeare keen appreciation of the
work. She enjoyed the friendship of
The great actress, Charlotte Cushman,
from whom she received kindly en-
c0uragement.
The articles for the sale in aid of the
Humane Society were contributed by
lady friends of Mrs. Weston living away
from Elallowell. While many of them
have been former residents of Hallowell,
more OF them are strangers here, who
contribute not only for their personal
friendship for Mrs. Weston, but for a
genuine interest in the Society which
speaks for those who cannot speak for
themselves"
Mr.. and Mrs. Weston are well known
in Skowhegan, Mr.. Weston being n
native of our town, and they visit friends
here quite frequently.

Developments of army affairs are not
at all creditable to the country at this
time. At this distance it appears to us
the army is not commanded. There is
no Grant, Sherman or Sheriden at the
head of it. The quartermaster and com.
missary departments have proved to be
lamentably faulty and inefficient and
the medical department not much bet
ter. Gen. Miles seems to have discovered
''embalmed beef afterward, but through
his inspecting officers it seems to us he
ought to have secured the delivery OF
good sound rations to the army. Pre-,
vention is better than exposure after il
is too late. 1t appears that there is toe
much red tape and imbecility, and toe
little good, sound business method. The
war department itself lacks vigor of ad
ministration. A general overhauinp
and reorganization would do good. Il
certainly could not do much harm
Moreover Secretary Alger is not man
of sufficient executive ability for secre
tary of war, and he lacks the confidence
of the American people.

Many timber land owners have recent

Many timber land owners have recent
ly expressed their opposition to the pro-
ject of allowing sporlsmen to go into the
woods for deer in september. They
claim that there is great danger from
forest fires in that month, and that by
making it open time the danger will be
greatly increased. Those who favor the
project, however, contend that very
great number of visiting sportsmen are
in the woods in September anyway, and
that it would be an added attraction and
not disadvantage to the State to allow
them TO kill what deer they need for
eating in camp, and that the danger
from fires would not be materially in
creased over the present. The plan of
making sportsmen take out license and
pay tax appears to us to be in the di-
rection of making it burdensome for
sportsmen to come to Maine. We want
them to come here and put out their
surplus money here in the State among
our people, and any requirement that
will discourage them from coming is a
short-sighted policy.
