TIE PRESIDENT SHOT.

For the third time in the history Of
the republic its chief executive has beer
struck down by the hand of an assassin
While nothing can in any degree excuse
such an atrocity, it is true that in the
case of Lincoln the country was rent by
the intense excitement of q bloody civil
war, while in Garfield's case political
conditions were exciting men to more oil
less violence. All this is lacking to-day
With conditions settling into satisfactory
channels, with prosperity Astounding on
every hand, with President whose
very nature is kindness and sympathy, a
cowardly snake reaches for the Presi
dents hand of fellowship with one hand
while he shoots him with the other!
What shall we say of an act SO
diabolical? What punishment can atone
for such crime? Fortunately the ad-
vanced state of surgical science has come
promptly to the rescue, and we are
assured that all the present indications
give reason to hope for the President
recovery. Every law-abiding citizen OF
the republic unites in the prayer OF
Secretary Long: "May this precious life
be spared"
May it also result in an organized and
successful effort for the Punishment OF
anarchists!

MAINE NEWS NOTES.

A fishing party on board steamer King
Philip from Boston Sunday, Sept. LIST
pulled up several articles which are
thought to have been from the steamer
Portland, which left Boston Nov. 25
1898, and was never afterward heard
from. The King Philip, when the fl nd
was made, was anchored outside Boston
light. The articles pulled to the surface
consisted of clothing, iron work and
mattresses stamped portland"
The deadly toadstool gathered and
served for mushrooms, came very neal
getting in fatal work on several men,
beers of a Gardiner family recently.
Prompt attention and medical assistance
alone prevented it. There is great dan
ger in mushroom gathering unless the
gatherer is perfectly familiar with the
plant, for the toadstool, which it so
mpch resembles, is fatal poison. Be-
ware of the seemingly delicious mush-
room.
George A. Allen of Auburn thinks it
would be a great scheme to have a canal
opened from Lewiston and Auburn to
the ocean. 1t would save the two cities
thousands of dollars monthDand make
them both hustling and enterprising. 1t
would be comparatively ofsmall expense
to construct canal to the sea. 1t would
be Twenty-Five miles, and would tap
Merrymeeting bay, so that coal barges
could be brought direct from their
loading points to the cities.
With five wooden mills being run to
their full capacity and some of them
lacking help and unable to supply the
demand for their goods, furnishing en-
ployment to about 500 hands; machine
