INFECTED CATTLE.
Their Entrance Into Maine Will Be
Firmly Opposed.
Maine Cattle Commission Will Insist
on a Strict Quarantine.

State Cattle Commissioner John NJ.
Deering of Saco, was here, Saturday.
for the purpose of comforting with his
colleagues on the State Board of Cattle
Commissioners, Hon. F. o. Beal. Ram
gor. and Hon. F. S. Adams, Bowdoin,
in regard to the foot and mouth dis
ease in cattle that now prevails in some
of the other New England states. On
account of a misunderstanding, Com
missioners Beal and Adams were not
here.
So far as the commissioners are con-
cerned. however. everything has been
done that is possible to prevent the
disease from getting foothold in the
State. All shipments of cattle from or
through the infected states has been
stopped and the commissioners will not
sanction any deviation from the rule
laid down. Shippers Of cattle from the
West through Portland to foreign
countries have sought to secure a mod
ification of the quarantine that would
permit them to send the animals by
way of the Canadian Pacific Railroad
thus avoiding the chances of contagion
as this road does not pass through any
of the infected states.
The Maine cattle commissioners are
understood to be against allowing any
cattle that might possibly have the
faint of this infectious disease in theil
systems from crossing the State bOr-
ders, for they know full well the dan
gers that might result. In 1884, the dis
ease got a foOthold in Maine and il
cost the State many thousands of dol
lars to stamp it out. Today, so far
as known, there is not a single case 81
foot and mouth disease in the State
and the commissioners do not propose
| to have it take root here if ii is in then
power to prevent.
1t is being attempted to have the
quarantine regulations modified, sc
that the shipment of cattle by foreign
steamers from Portland may not be
curtailed or suspended. Although il
cannot now be stated. positively. the
belief of gentlemen interested in the
cattle business is that the State cattle
! commissioners will do nothing to change
the existing order of things. Every ef-
| fort is being made. every string is be-
| ing pulled, to prevent the entrance OF
any infected cattle into Maine. The
commissioners will insist that every
precauton be taken.
The members of the cattle commits
sioners have considered the advisable.
| ity of establishing a watch at all cross
| roads along the New Hampshire line
to prevent any cattle being driven in
no Maine. If the cOntagion continues
to spread in Massachusetts and gets
into New Hampshire, this measure Wi
be Immediately resOrted to.
The commissioners ask. for the as
sistance of all farmers and cattle deal
ers in the State to keep out the disease
They recommend that for the present
no trading in cattle be done with par
ties outside the State, and that knowl-
edge of cattle being driven or shipped
| into the State be at once communica-
| ted to the secretary, John Nj Deering

BYGONE DAYS In CHAPEL HILL


Hill with her infant daughter, remaining
with her parents till they died. She was
teaching during those years classCs-1rst
of boys, then of girls-and employed her
pen. as she had been doing before and
after her marriage, in writing for the
press.
From 1867 to 1875 the University was
prostrate. During those years Mrs.
Spencer wrote largely for the North
Carolina Presbyterian" editing in con-
junction with Rev. John Sherwood and,
after his death, with Rev. Mr.. DeFeaux.
In Is the Oft-baffed efforts of the alumni
to repain the control of the University
were at last successful, and the doors
were once more thrown open. This was
a triumph in which no heart was more
exultant than Mrs. Spencer's. She saw
with pride old friends Cor their sonS) re-
stored to their places in the faculty,
with DR.. Kemp Battle at their head, and
Governor Vance to inaugurate the new
days with his noble tribute to Governor
Swain and the old regime; and with
great satisfaction she met old friends OF
her early lays bringing their sons 10
join and make of the old college a new
and greater one. This was joy and tri-
umph worth living for.
Here are two stanzas of her hymn for
this time:
From off Thine altar send q coal
AS burning seraphs erst have brought;
Relight the flame that once inspired
The faithful teacher ard the taught.
Recall, o God the golden days;
May rude, unfruitful discord cease;
Our sons in crowds exulting throng
The ancient haunts of White-rObed
Peace"
Those who laid the foundation of the
new University are living in distant
States, but their minds and hearts will
ever abide within the village Of Chapel
Hill, daughter of the old University, liy-

At her suggestion that year the ladies
of several of the principal towns Of the
State collected funds to supply that

Muslc's Decline in Germany.

The national competition among
German composers, which was organ
lied last year at Leipsic, has resulted
in remarkable fiasCo. A prize OF
$500 was offered for the best popular
opera, and, among other conditions, 1t
was stipulated that competitors must
belong to some Gcrman-speaking
country.
More than 500 composers" in Ger
many, Austria and Switzerland wrote
to inquire for the details of the COM
petition, but only thirty-six of them
actually sent in compositions. After
careful examination of these thirty
six operas the adiudicators unani-
mously decided that not one among
them was deserving Of the prize,
which will either be returned to the
donor or devoted to some musical pur-
pose.
