Presidential Electors Must All BE
Chosen I'm State Convention.
HEADQUARTERS
REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE,
AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAN. 4. 1900.

AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAN. q. lOuO.
To tho Republicans Of Maine Prior
to 1892 two Presidential electors at large,
corresponding to the two United States
senators, were nominated In State con-
vention. and the remaining electors, cor
responding to the members of the United
States House of Representatives were
nominated by the several congressional
district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot
law entirely changed the procedure. I'M
der the law, all Conventions are por-
ton of our election system, and this
ballot act requires that candidates to be
voted for by the Voters throue hout the
whole State must be placed in nominal
ton by convention representing no less
a constituency than the whole State.
Hence, all the candidates of party for
Presidential electors must be nominated
in State Convention, and / have there
fore included in the call six electors.

THEY PRAISE CLAY's SPEECH.

Washington, December 12.-(Spe-
cial) Senator Olay's associates have
been paying him the highest compli-
ments upon his ship subsidy speech of

nice things to his face, but all the COM

Senator Culberson, of Texas Senator
Jones, of Arkansas; Senator Martin, of
Virginia Senator Cockrell, of Missouri,
all paid the Georgian similar tributes
Senator Allison of Iowa Senator Spoon

who listened to every word of the speech
said today that Senator Clay had made
the best presentation of the question
that they had ever seen advanced by the
opponents of the subsidy The Post OF
this morning says that Senator Hanna
was much worried over the close atten-
ton which some republican senators
gave the Georgian's speech Hanna is
quoted MS saying that nobody would
stay ard listen to Clay's long speech,
but he not only listened closely himself
but saw, somewhat to his consterna-
ton, that almost all the republicans,

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.

The ladies Of the Home Mission So
Gle y of the Methodist church have in
augurated an industrial school for chill
dren. We got an iEkling of it, and
dropped in at Mrs. Trenary's where in
a large well lighted room fourteen little
girls, seated in rows, were plying the
needle on garments. Mrs. Trenary and
Mrs Lyon are the principal movers in
this good work, and there has come to
their assistance Mrs. Theo. Frey, Mrs.
Welsh, Mrs. Ada HUMPHREYS and Mrs
Swalley. They have gathered these
poor children from homes where adj
vantsges are lot the best and every
Monday afternoon they meet and
teach these children the art of sewing,
ana at the same time impressing upon
them the importance of neatness and
cleanliness and moral ideas for charac-
acter building. Their number is in
creasing each meeting. So far they
have been able TO supply the necessary
material for the children to make up
The garments will he given to the chill
dren for their encouragement They
seem to take great interest and pride
in their work and what they learn here
in the line of usefulness, they will
carry to their homes and it will be the
leaven that will do good work there.
The good ladies who have this work in
charge deserve praise. They are pro-
yiding Christmas tree for these pre-
cious little girls and hearts will be
made happy as well as hands kept busy.
The young ladies of the Dorcas Society
are rendering valuable assistance.
From time to time lectures will be de-
livered to them on various helpful sub.
jects, and altogether the promise Of
great good will result from the indus
trial school. If the public feels like
throwing any means to carry on this
work, send it to Mrs. NJ i. Lyon on

TWO FIRES.

An alarm of fire brought out the fire
department on Friday morning about
10 O'Clock. A defective fue in the
kitchen of the residence on Powder
Springs street belonging to Miss Jessie
Reynolds, occupied by Mr.. P. o.
Herberts family. A hole was burned
through the ceiling. The firemen cut
a hole through the roof near the fiue
and poured several buckets of water in
to the hole and soon extinguished the
blaze.
Saturday morning about Z o'clock,
the rear roof of Mrs. A. D. Ruede's
residence near the kitchen fue, was
discovered to be on fire. The alarm
was given and the fire department got
to the scene as quickly as possible. The
fire being under the rear roof was diff
ficult to get at and the firemen were
baffled some time, giving the fire OPP
portunity to spread to the roof of the
main part of the dwelling. After three
quarters Of an hours hard fighting the
fire was extinguished, with about half
the roof saved, but in badly damaged
condition. 1t required good deal of
water to flood the house, some Of the
plastering fell off in consequence. The
damage to the building is probably $50
or 500, and no insurance. All the
household goods, furniture, ETC., were
taken out and saved. Mrs. Ruede is a
widow and this misfortune at her age
of life, with no income, is great loss
to her.
Our citizens, feeling deep sympa-
thy for the widow in her misfortune,
very generously and readily contribu-
tued enough money to purchase the
material to replace the roof burned off
If those who contributed to the fund
could have seen the great surprise de-
picted on her face, and the tears of
gratitude that coursed down her
cheeks, as choked words gave express
ion of her appreciation, when the sum
was presented, they would have been
fully repaid for their Christian liberal
ity, and realized that sit is more bless
ed to give than to receive" Christ said

these We did it unto me"
