KENNEBEC STEAMBOAT co.
Judge Whitehouse to Hear injunction
Proceedings in Few Days.

The hearing to dissolve the injunc-
ton which was issued by Judge White
house to RESTRAIN the Kennebec Steam
boat Co. from selling it's property to
the Eastern Steamboat Co. will be had
in a few days. Charles w. Morse, who
owns a controlling interest in the COM
pany. has retained Hon.. OrvilN d.
Baker of this city to appear in his in
terest and argue for the termination of
the injunction. Mayor Titcomb and M.
S. Holway will oppose the lifting of the
injunction. a
4 This action is very important one
and involves legal points which have
never been settled by the courts in this
State. The proposition which was pre-
scented to the stockholders of the Ken
nebec. Steamboat Co. was to sell the
property of the company, not its fran
chise. This being fact, it is a ques-.
ton if, when minority stockholders OBJ
ject to the sale, their shares can be APP
praised by the supreme court and they
be obliged to sell at the value fixed up
on by them. 1t is stated that this pro-
vision of the law applies only when an
attempt is made to sell the franchise
of corporation and that it is not APP
plicable when sale of the property
alone is proposed.
The hearing on this case has been
postponed from time to time, but it now
looks as if it would be considered in a
short time unless some arrangement is
determined upon by the majority and
minority stockholders.

THE ICE HARVEST.
About 10000 Tons So Far Housed
$4,000 More Wanted.

The past week has seen a large
amount of ice harvested on the Ken
nebec. Weather conditions have been
very good so that the work has been
rushed. George N. Lawrence spoke as
follows, Saturday evening, in regard
to the situation.
From the Lodges in Pittston to
Thwing's Point, which is the ice belt
on the Kennebec river, operations have
been in progress for the past week and
horses and men have worked like Tro-
jams. The ice varies from ~ to Is
inches in thickness and is of excellent
quality.
Monday morning, if weather condi-
lions do not change, we intend to start
harvesting at three houses, one at
Portland, one on the Kennebec below
Richmond and one at BoOthbay.
THE company intends to harvest at
least 100000 tons of ice in the State,
and on this account we shall be obliged
to utilize all the late ice. So far,
10000 tons have been harvested. We
want to fill the houses and nothing
will prevent us more than the con-
dition of the weather." -

RESULTS AEE S OWING.
Unusually Large Crowd at Revival
Service, Last Evening.
Meetings Will Continue All 1 his Week
in Baptist Church.

The union rivival service at the First
Baptist church, Sunday evening, was
the elimination of a great day, relig-
iously in this city. Unusually large
and attentive audiences gathered at the
churches for the morning service.
Evangelistic sermons were preached
and the way prepared for the evening
union service which in point of num-
bers and interest broke all previous
records since the meetings began. The
church was filled to the doors and to
the very pulpit. Standing room was
almost at premium. 1t is safe to say
that the city has not seen such a large
and enthusiastic religious service for
years. The large chorus, under the
leadership of DR.. E. J. Roberts, rem
dered excellent help in the singing.
This chorus will be a prominent factor
in the meetings from this on.
The sermon of the evening was
preached by Rev. Norman McKinnon.
He took for his subject, 1.-The Parable
of the Lost Sheep He showed that
Christ was the friend of sinners If he
was simply the friend of the pure and
righteous we would give up in depair:
ne Is the IrleHu, the Snepherd or the
sheep. AS such he comes to seek and
to save that which was lost. The SER
mon was characterized by tenderness
and deep spirituality.
Rev. Fl. E. Dunnack led in a very
impressive way the after-service AS
usual eager souls were ready to begin
the Christian life. The meeting was
one Of great power and fervency.
All this week the meetings will be
held in the First Baptist church, be-
ginning at 7.30.

MAKING AN EXAMPLE.
An English Judges Capture of .
Predatory PettifOgger Who
Was Trespassing.,

It is misfortune of criminal courts
of justice that they attract many at
torneys of doubtful or worse than
doubtful reputation, who hover about
seeking to pick up client by hook or
crook. Lord Norbury, well-known
English judge, had long been annoyed
by the presence of such fellows, but
at length one of them was delivered
into his hands, relates Youths Com
panion.
It happened toward the close of q
court session. A shabby-looking at
torney was prospecting for business
in the prisoners dock. just as he
was climbing back over the rails, his
lordship called out shortly:
"Jailer, one of your prisoners is es-
Gaping! Put him back!"
Back the attorney was thrust, and
then the following colloquy ensued:
'My lord, there 10 mistake here.
am an attorney
81 regret exceedingly" said Lord
Norbury, ''to see one of your profess
sion in the DOCK
'But, my lord, I am innocent"
"Yes,' said the judge, "they all
say that, but jury of your fellow
countrynen must settle it,
"But, my lord" said the attorney,
now growing desperate, ''there is no
Indictment against me-"
"Then," remarked his lordship, "you
will be put back, and if no one ap-
pears to prosecute you, you will be
regularly discharged by public proc
lamation at the end of the assize."

Mr.. Barlow. 81 could never bring
myself to part with it, poor as have
become, but I will lend it to you, if
you will accept the loan. Then you
can take lessons and perhaps become
the great musician, after ALL" His
eyes twinkled kindly, though there
was curious faltering in his voice, as
if the words cost him something.
."Oh!" exclaimed Hildegarde breath
lessly. 20, Mr.. Barlow!" Then the
tears came into her eyes, and she
could not say any more at all.
There, there!" said the old man
quite cheerfully. II am glad to let
you have it, and will take it around
tonight after I close the shop"
need not tell how Hildegarde tried
to tell her thanks, nor of the talk
she had with her mother when she
reached home that wonderful after
noon, nor what they all said to one
another in the coy sitting room
when Mr.. Barlow came around in
the twilight. But if Hildegarde
thinks she has more to be thankful
for than any one else IN the world,
there is one person at least who will
never agree with her, and that is the
crabbedy man. For is there not al
ways a corner for him in that pleas
ant sitting room, with the easiest OF
easy chairs, where Hildegarde brings
him tea that she has made herself,
and then plays for him in the long
evenings, just as the little maid, dead
so long, used to do?
I do not know if Hildegarde still
dreams of being great musician,
but she is working hard, and Ap-Mor-
gan himself can give no greater pleas
ure to his crowded audiences than she
gives day after day to those who love
her, the pale mother, the dear old
crabbedy man, and the young people
who make up her circle of friends,
of whom Archie Bale is still chief.
And what is music for if not for this ?

ANY EXCUSE IN A RUSH.
An Extraordinary Excuse for Not
Paying q Bill That Was Good
for the Time.

"Only a few weeks ago." said man
who does collecting for big bust

Boston Herald, II had to call upon a
delinquent. He was man of stand
ing. I made bold to venture that he
was something like three months
tardy. I noticed that his right hand
was in a sling.
"'Why,' he began, do you know l
am very sorry, but I've had an ac-
cident to my hand and here he made
a great show of the wounded member.

from all kinds of people. Some say
they are very busy, some say they

fdingly plead for mercy, but if any
one had advanced any such excuse as
a wounded hand I'd have taken it as
bit of irony-had not heard the
man and seen from his face that he
expected that the excuse would be
good. Well, it was good. There was
not enough of me left to ask him if
that hand had held him up for three
months from making payments. At
any rate, it detained him three weeks

WORK FOR NEGRO WOMEN.
Many Avenues Now Open Through
Which They May Earn More
Than q Mere Living.

Colored women of intelligence are
rapidly coming to the front in many
industrial fields and are proving their
capacity to hold their own against the
sharpest competition. Not a few have
become typewriters, and one OF the
large mercantile houses of Chicago has
a negro woman for chief stenographer.
Others are clerks, one young woman
being demonstrat or in New York. Mrs.
Whetzel, of St. John, N. B., one of
the richest women of the race, conducts
a large ice cream business. Several
have become efficient nurses, and a
few are practicing physicians and
dentists, while there are some lawyers,
one a teacher in law school, says a
Chicago exchange.
In the public schools of the coun-
try over 81 300 colored women are en-
ployed as teachers, many as princi-
pals. In Boston, Miss Maria Baldwin,
principal of Agassiz school, is regarded
as one of the best teachers of that sec
ton of advanced thought and
method. Mrs. Bette G. Francis,
the member of the Washington
school board, not only identified
herself with the interests of the
negro's cation, but she has taken
rank among the most energetic and
progressive members of the board,
making her influence felt in everything
for the betterment of our school sys-
tenn.

Value Of Bacon Hogs.

While probably the corn belt farm
ers, owing to scarcity Of heterogeneous
feed, will not find it profitable to
raise the pure bacon hog, yet the
large improved Yorkshires and Tam
worths will serve his purpose ad-
mirably in correcting the deficiencies
Of the common lard hog which LACKS
stamina and has become SO fine Of
bone as to render It prone to dis
ease.
Experiments show that crosses Of
bacon and lard hogs give excellent
results. At the Minnesota station q
lot of (three) Tamworth-Poland
China crosses fed 1876 days showed .
profit of 1894, while the pure Poland
China showed but $.58 profit, and tho
pure Tamworth $2.68. A lot Of three
Improved Observation-Disclosures China
crosses gave profit Of $3.50, and q
Berkshire Yorkshire cross 1898. Ev-
cry experiment demonstrated that
crossing bacon and lard hogs im-
proved the stamina, increased the av-
erage daily gain during the feeding
period, and also the capacity to con-
sumo feed.
The salvation Of the degenerating
lard hog of the corn belt is declared
by experts to lie in blending his blood
with that OF the bacon types.-Droy-

of safety he and some other men were
attacked by the Indians, one of the
other men being killed, and another
wounded. He escaped on account OF
