efficacy, have been informed by scores
OF persons Of the good results they have
received from 1t, and know its value

A Temperance Bar.

Not all of the bars in the hotels at
Portland are closed. The bar at the
Preble house was open, Saturday even
ing, and was doing good business. 1t
has been open since Wednesday, but
nothing is being handled over its coun-
tiers except soft drinks.
"We have the bar here" said one of
the bar tenders, Saturday night, land
this week we decided that we might just
as well use 1t. We sell no liquor, either
beer or whiskey, nothing save soft
drinks this trip. 1t wouldn't do at all
TO sell anything else. II we did the
word would get around in minute and
as things are now | guess we would be
hanged
At the other hotels the bars are clos, d

To Prevent Pies Running Over

Some housekeepers keep in their
Kitchens strips OF clean White muslin an
inch or so wide and long enough TO &c
around the pie tins and fasten. These
they place about the edges of all JUICY
pies to keep them from running over
Another preventive for running over is
the use of rather deep pie tins tha, have
broad edge at the top With these the
bottom crust should be slightly moiste0td
with water and The two crusts pinched
tightly together below the top of the til
leaving the crusts quarter of an inch al
the top. free from each other. Then free
the bottom crust from the side of the tin
all around the edge and press the two
forward, separating them at the very edge
After some practice in this way the edge
of the pie Can be made quite decorative
ard there will be less danger of Losing the
juice. In any case. generous ventilauons
must be lett in the upper crust.

quite movement for the appointment
of Judge Foster to the vacant place on
the supreme bench. The Augusta cor.
respondent of the Lewiston Journal says
that there are great many attorney
who feel that the bench needs his pre- 8.
ence and that the matters which led tC
his retirement are no bar to his reap
pointment. They must have a curious
idea about those matters. The common
people, who are not versed in law and
the qualifications for judges, think the
things said about Judge Foster when M
retired as good cause for his retirement
and for his staying retired, if they were

Losses In Maine Regiments.

Many disputes have arisen between
Maine veterans of the Civil War, as to
which regiment lost the largest number
of men. The State Of Maine sent TO the
field as many soldiers as any state In the
Union, according to population, and each
regiment performed every duty. It was
called upon to do. Some OF the regi.
ments were engaged In more battles than
others. The First Heavy and the First
Cavalry were each composed of IL com.
panies, the infantry regiments OF IL
companies.
The First Maine regiment was mus
tered in as three months regiment and
upon arrival In Washington went into
camp on Meridian Hill. In that camp
the men served their whole time OF en-
listment. The regiment did guard duty
and all other duties assigned 1t, but did
not engage in any battle, or even see the
enemy during their service. On their
return to Maine most of them re-enlisted
in other regiments, very large majority
going out the second time in the 10Th
Maine, a regiment that did most excel
lent service. The First Maine cavalry
was engaged in more battles and shir,
mishes than any other single body in the
service.
The seven regiments from Maine los
ing the largest number Of men, not in
GLIDING missing, were as follows:

A STORY OF LONG AGO
Which Our Mark" Has Cut Out of
 the Programme.

The democratic county candidates will have to keep jumping sideways" for the next month"; first into the Smith camp, then into the Wilson fold, and then back again. Last night they were under the leadership of MT. Smith a { Tempe. The next week they will probably be communicated by Gen eral Wilson. The meeting at Tempe was not wholly successful. A consid- erable part of the crowd was made up of the Phoenix faithful, who went over to see that a respectable audience would not be lacking. Between the two towns Curry's hall was comfortably filled. The meeting was presided over by Charles WOOlf of Kyrene and was addressed by MT. Smith and his fol- lowers. The principal subject was the beauty of harmony, imperialism and trusts. The greater part of the Tempe audience returned to Phoenix shortly before midnight.
 There is, by the way, one story with which Our Mark" always used to set Arizona audiences wild with delight. It related to a railroad wreck. There was passenger in a sleeper. He was rudely awakened by the crash, but with great presence of mind he grabbed his trousers and hurried into them. The north side of his pants, however, was turned toward the south.
 The Tassenger emerged safely from the wreck and stood in the light of the blazing cars, gazing upon himself with plined wonder. Are you hurt?" asked a fellow passenger. No" he replied; "leastWay S, I don't feel no pain, but l seem to be twisted clean around"
 That" Our Mark was wont to say, ''is the condition O, the republican party; it is twisted clean around"
 Marks old time admirers waited in vain last Monday night for the mellow old anecdote, but it was not related.
 A telephone message was received at The Republican office from Tempe last night conveying the thrilling informa- tion that the story of the twisted man had been omitted from what was other wise a fair programme. The message added that it was suspected there that Mark was losing that power of ora tory which formerly distinguished him. IL has been suggested that MT. Smith, who is a gentleman of discelnment with fine sense of the appr) )priateness of things, does not believe that this is a proper time to joke abCu, torn and twisted political parties.
