In late years men have made fortunes out of
the tailings of gold mines. The mills in which
the ore formerly was crushed and the crude
processes then In use allowed large percent
age OF the precious metal TO escape, and that
loss amounted in some cases to fortune. The
stomach Is just like stamp mill in this respect
that when IL Is not In perfect order 1t allows the
escape and waste of much Of the precious nu-
trinlent contained in the food. That loss, when
continuous, means the loss Of mans greatest
fortune-health Science offers a remedy for
this condition in DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t corrects the weakness" of the
stomach, prevents waste and loss of nourish
ment, and puts the stomach and organs of d.
gestion and nutrition into a condition of health
which enables them to save and assimilate all
the nutriment contained In the food which is
eaten. In all eases of constipation the use of
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets win speedily and
permanently cure the disease.

Song Recital.

The song recital given at the Unitarian
church last Monday evening by Miss
Mabel Monaghan, soprano, and A. Mac
kenzie Mattocks, tenor, was a most de-
lightful affair, although it is to be re-
GREETED that so few were in attendance.
Miss Monaghan never sang better. She
sang for the first time In public "Agath a s
Prayer" from Meyerbeer's "Der Frei-
schultz, and she did it magnifcently.
Other mum bers which were especially we'll
rendered were Denza's "A May Morning"
and Dell Acqus's "Chsnson Provencsle"-
the latter being the number she sang at
the Bangor festival in 1899.

rare skill, and great expression.

two towns set off from Hancock county

ington as to cause divisional question
of some nature to be before the people
nearly all the time. We have yet to meet
the man who claims to have reaped any

towns to give this new question OF d.
vision very careful and weighty consider
alton before acting upon matter of so

Care of Poor by Counties.

Among the important questions dis
-cussed at the convention of the
county commissioners of Maine in
Ellsworth last week, none received
more attention than that presented
by Commissioner Merrill, of Penobscot
county: "Would it be wise for the
poor of our State to be cared for by
counties instead of by towns as at
present."
This question was suggested to the
convention by o. F. Fellows, of
Bucksport, who will, if Hancock
county and several other counties in
the State have their way, be speaker
of the next Maine House.
On TIE train down from Bangor
Wednesday morning, Mr.. Fellows in
trodueed the subject to Commission
ers Written, Merrill and Hathaway,
the Penobscot delegation. They dis
cussed the merits of the question, and
Mr.. Fellows expressed the desire
that it be brought before the conven-
ton. The result was that the ques-
ton was presented to the convention,
and ELECTED more discussion than any
other question presented. Mr.. Fell
lows happened in for moment dur
ing the discussion, and was warmly
welcomed. He was called upon as
the father of the question to state his
ideas of such law, which he did
plainly and effectively.
The county commissioners did with
the question the only possible thing
they could do with one of such inn
portance coming before them by sur
prise. They recognized at once that
it demanded more than passing con-
sideration, and referred it to a COM
mittee of five commissioners, who will
report next year.
The care of the poor by counties in
stead of by towns, though new to
Maine, would not be an experiment,
by any means. New Hampshire, New
Jersey and many other states adopted
the plan long ago.
The arguments in its favor COM
mend themselves at once as good. In
the first place, by theory and practice,
it has been demonstrated that under
the county system the poor are better
cared for than under the town sys-
TEN.
The economy of the plan is the
second important argument in it's
favor. Instead of dozen or more
poor farms in a county, or, in case of
smaller towns, big bills for care of
paupers by the overseers, there
would be one county poor-house.
Another very important feature,
economically considered, would be the
doing away of large number of pau
per cases in litigation between towns.
Instead of $50 towns that might be
involved in such litigation, there
would be but sixteen counties. The
amount of money expended by towns
of Maine yearly in litigation of pau
per cases would be astounding if
named in one sum.
We believe this question is one that
viii demand the attention of the Maine
legislature at its next session. We
have no doubt that the committee of
county commissioners TO whom the
question was referred will give it the
able consideration it deserves, and we
are inclined to think that the result |
of their deliberations and report to
the next county commissioners con-
vention will be recommendation |
from the convention to the legisla-
ture that such change in the law be
made.
