The question Of a curfew ordinance was
first discussed by the union two or three
years ago, and again last winter they tried
to gain the co operation of the woman
clubs of the city in an effort to obtain this
law The matter did not make great prog
ress at nrst. but was soon taken up by
that the law was passed by the city coun
ell tonly one member objecting to it, and
approved by the mayor. 1t went into ef
feet February II. 1889.
This ordinance requires children under
the age of sixteen to be off the streets aft .
er clock in the evening from October
to May and after o'clock during the re
mainder of the year. Thus far the law
has proved very satisfactory to the pc
lice authorities.
When interviewed, one of the officers
said: This law is working well with Ms
and we are very much pleased with II. -
in enforcing the law in summer than in
winter, he said: There would naturally
be little difference, but We have had no
trouble: we have made only two arrests
since the ordinance went into effect
Has the law accomplished all You ex
pccted?" Yes more than we expected.
There is n class of parents in the city
who have no control over their children.
and formerly we had no authority over
them either. and it was the custom OF
large numbers of children. from the age
of eight to sixteen years, to stay around
the entrances to the dance halls and play =
houses until twelve or one O'Clock at
night: but now We have no more of that
We have authority to send children home
if We find them in unsuitable places at Il
late hour. We would not have the cur
few law stricken off the book now any
way. 1t Is very satisfactory to us on the
police force. and TO the people in general
as far as we can ascertain
Thus the curfew Is a safeguard to the
children of Bangor.

The St. Louis Globe Democrat
quotes General Fitzhugh Lee as say
ing that he does not think the people
of Cuba are fitted for self-government
He favofs a protectorate by the United
States or annexation. 1t is ,evident
that the general will be among the
most. robust OF the annexationists be-
fore long. Every body who has lad a
chance to learn anything about the
Cubans knows that they are not fitted
for independence. If the United States
should withdraw it's authority and let
the people of the island set up a gov
eminent for themselves there would
be civil war in Cuba within a week.
Just at present the Democratic news
papers and stump speakers are howl
ing for the withdrawal of the United
States troops from the island. because
they think that this sort of talk will
embarrass the administration, but
after the elections are over all the
Democrats will acquiesce in the policy
of the administration on this as on all
other issues which the war of 1895
caused.

Judge Webb of the United States
court, has dismissed the libel of Eu-
gene Morvan of Portland. against
Capt. F. 4. Whittier of Kennebunk,
master of the schooner Olive Il. Whit
ney. The plaintiff alleged that, while
suffering from an injury to his hand,
he was compelled to labor on the ves-
sell thereby aggravating the injury to
such an extent that amputation was
necessary. The defence admitted the
injury, but denied that it was after
ward aggravated by the libellant being
compelled to perform improper labor.
and alleged that aggravation of the
wound was due to his own carelessness
and conduct. Judge Webb ruled that
the master of the schooner was not at
fault in the matter. The costs of the
action fall upon the plaintiff in the

CURIOUS 4CUcKOOs.

The cuckoo is generally known only
as bird with a very 1nonotonous note
a continuous cry of "cuckoo, cuckoo"
over and over again. Among naturalists,
however, the cuckoo is known as bird
that never builds nest for itself, but
takes advantage of one already built by
SOME more industrious bird.
There is good deal of the cuckoo
about these advertisers who, instead of
making success of their own, seek to
profit by the success which some one
else has made with much effort and
labor. 1t is so with those limitations of
DIR. Pierce's methods, by which free
medical advice is offered although those
who make the offer are without qualified
medical ability or experience. And the
cry raised in some cases of "woman,
woman, woman write to woman " makes
the resemblance to the cuckoo even
stronger.
There is as far as known no qualified
woman physician connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment, and
none therefore competent to give medi-
cal advice. 1t is certain that there is no
one, man or woman, who can offer free
medical advice backed by such knowl-
edge and experience as is possessed by
DIR. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting ply
stefan to the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo,
N. Y. For over thirty years Dir. Pierce
has made speciality of the treatment
of diseases peculiar to women. In that
time lie has treated over half-a-lnillion
women, ninety-eight per cent of whom
have been perfectly cured. Every sick
woman is invited to consult DIR. Pierce
by letter absolutely without charge or
cost. Every letter is held as strictly phi
vate and sacredly confidential, and all
answers are mailed securely sealed i'll
perfectly plain envelopes bearing no
printing whatever upon them.

who caused q smile among college fra
ternity men by some grotesque mis-
statements regarding the history and
standing of the Delta Kappa Epsilon
fraternity. in connection with an ac-
count of the annual initiation of the
Colby chapter, has written a letter ac-
knowledging. in an indirect and eX-
planatory manner. the mistakes he
made. He says he got the name of the
chapter wrong through misunder-
standing the pronunciation given it by
his college mates. He quotes Bairds
american College Fraternities" and
Stevens encyclopaedia of Fraternities"
to show that the fraternity was found
ed at Yale by men who declined cleo
ton to Psi Epsilon rather than by
those not receiving such election. as
he first stated. And he gives figures
from the same sources showing that
in 1898 Delta Kappa Epsilon had some
24O0 more members than its nearest
rival. though his first article had
claimed that Several fraternities had.
of late years, surpassed it in size.
Hereafter it is likely that Mr. Severy
will confine his attention to his own
