asserts that if the Liberals come
into power at the CO ming parlia-
mentary election, they may restore

Hanna style of literary compost
tion.

Finds a Pearl Worth $1,000.

Winona, Mimi, Sept. 2O.-
There is considerable excitement
here over a number of valuable
pearls that have be, II found in the
Mississippi lately. Mr.. r. j. Nc
Namara recently found one which
was sold for 5000, but the climax
came today when Benjamin f.
Dayton of this city, while looking
over a quantity of clans, discov-
cred a large pearl of exceptional
beauty and luster. The gem is
estimated by various authorities
to be worth from 81, 800 to 81, 900.

Employees of the New York
post office are being pestered
with notices suggesting that they
contribute to the Republican cam
paign funds. The second notice
has been sent. In order to avoid
violating the law in reference to
political contributions, the letters
are delivered at the homes of
the men and not at the postoffice.
1t is needless to say that these
postoffice employees do not want
to contribute toward any cam
paign fund. They work hard for
what is paid them, and should be
left alone; but they do not dare
refuse the demand that is thus
forced by Republican managers.

GOOD ROADS.
Meeting of the Horsemen and wheel
mcu Last Evening.

. An enthusiastic meeting Of the advo-
oates Of hetter care Of our present streets
and.t the more extended use of macadam
and paving In the future, was held at the
Portland Wheel club rooms last night.
The wheelmen's side of the case was
presented by MIR. @. W. Small, the chief
consul Of the Maine division. L. A. W.
Mr.. Small said that the bicycle riders
asked for nothing but what was. in accord
with modern ideas as regards the use,
care and maintenance OF our present
high ways. He believed that greater care
should be taken Of permanent work when
completed and advocated the building OF
bicycle paths along some of the worst
streets pending thu Improvements needed.
He warmly advocated the joining hands
with the horsenen In an effort to secure
what seemed to be pressing need'to both.
DR.. q. b. Swasey. spoke for the horse
men aud strongly condemned the loose
system OF inspection of our streets. Too
many loose stones could be found to
make driving safe and pleasant. Cross
walks were too high or too low and a
general lack of inspection was apparent
all around.
Mr.. o. p. L. Wish made o plea for
bicycle paths.
Mr.. Il. W. woodman advocated the
building Of q certain street In permanent
manner and following 1t the next year
with more work Of similar nature, so
that In few years something would be
apparent for the money expended.
A general discussion followed and
several streets were mentioned for per-
manent improvement. among them being
Washington avenue, Forest avenue,
Pleasant street. as well as the uss
of another steam roller. The discussion
was generally entered into and quite
little enthusiasm was apparent.
The movement has gainsd much head
way during the last week and it was free
ly predicted that somebody would be sur
prissd at the results sure to come.

In one OF the dories for some time and his
dory was fast being swamped by the big

about 5000 pounds.
