Paul are both represented in Congress
by natives of Maine. Illinois has drawn
from Maine more than 5000 of her peo-
pie, and more than half of these live in
Chicago. Wisconsin has 54OO and Mich
gan and Iowa about $500 each from the
same source. while Colorado, Kansas
and Nebraska have over 5000 between
them. Beyond the Rocky mountains
we find 1000 Maine people in each of the
cities of Los Angeles and Oakland, 1900
in Seattle and 2400 in San Francisco,
while almost 5000 are in the state of
Washington and nearly 1900 in Cali
fornia.
Even in PARKWAY Hawaii the influ-
ence of Maine is strongly felt, for, al
though the number of Maine people
there is small, yet it has been a man
from Maine who has been at the head
of affairs during the transition period
through which the islands have just
passed. In summing up the distribu-
ton of the Maine-born who have left
their native State 1t appears that while
only 5000 are living in the entire South
there are 10000 in the far West, 40, 900
in the middle West and more than 140,-
eco in the other New England states
together with New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania.

The situation at Shiloh is rather ne
culiar. The smallpox is still there and
the quarantine of the rest of the fol-
lowers of Mr.. Sanford. is still on.
The situation is about as follows: The
State Board of Health insists that
those imprisoned there must be vacci-
mated before they can be allowed to so,
and they, making il a matter of con-
science. and of religious duty. holding
the higher law in respect. insist that
they cannot and will not, until it is
made plain TO them that it is the will of
God that they should be vaccinated.
To do them justice they are keeping up
an excellent quarantine on their own
account, and the apprehended raid on
the finances of Durham has not taken
place, and is not likely to occur. They
obey all the suggestions made by the
State board, except that regarding
vaccination. and they are taking the
best of care of their sick Once in a
while they write to know when the
quarantine is to be raised, but unfor-
tunately for them there are new cases
often enough to proIong their term of
imprisonment. With every new case
the board renews its suggestion that
they be vaccinated, and failing to re-
ceive the desired assurance that they
are ready for the operation, can only
extend the period of quarantine for
another fourteen days. The real
trouble seems to be more theological
than medical.

Happy little Kubelk! He escaped
from this country with 100000 and
his life. The first was comparatively
easy and was we'll assured, but the lat
ter has been much in doubt, since in
almost every city he has been mobbed
by hysterical female admirers, who
sought to smother him in kisses and
otherwise show their deep apprecia-
ton of his genius as a violinist. The
following New York dispatch which
appeared in the papers, yesterday.
gives an idea of what the poor boy has
had to endure: Jan Kubelik, the
violinist, was literally mobbed by wo-
men admirers after his recital at the
Academy of Music in Brooklyn, last
night. 1t took him and his assistants
ten minutes, with the aid of two police
men, to fight their way 20 feet to his
carriage. A dozen women kissed him;
dozens of others tried to. The street
was strewn with flowers and one wo-
man succeeded in lassooing him with a
big wreath of white roses" 1t is
probable that his disgust and the fear
of violent death will keep him from
coming here again, unless his bank ac-
count runs very low indeed. In New
York where he tried to escape the mob
of women, they called him a coward"
but who blames him? There is neither
safety nor enjoyment in such numbers.
| He should make a tour of Japan, where
! according to the comic opera liberet-
| lists, OSCILLATION is not in vogue.

Long Time Dead.

\ little time for music, and
A little time for cheer,
a little time for talking with
The ones you hold most dear,
\ little time for reading, and
A little time for thought,
For doing all the little things,
For doing as you ought.
A little work an scrubbing,
And a little time for play,
A time for writing letters to
The friends 50 far away;
A time for telling neghbors that
You're glad to call EN- friends;
y time for friendly quarrels, and
The making of amends
A time for fishing in tie brook
For straw brieS in the grass,
a time for picking buttercupS
AS summer pleasures pass,
A time for gathering apples when
They're tempting in the fall;
For telling winter stories by
The fireplace in the hall.
There's time for almos' everything
From sleighing down to whist,
And if you slight the little things,
The very ones you missed
Will be the ones you'll wish you'd had
When you laid in bed
Beneath the buttercups an grass
To be a long time dead.

Mr.. Bryan's attempt, during his re-
cent visit to Washington, to make a
party question of the movement to
elect United States senator by direct
vote of the people was not only very
much of failure, but the way in which
he found himself rebuffed by the lead
ing Democrats there gave him some
thing to think about. He was in
formed in plain terms by some of the
older Democrats in both houses of
Congress that even if the proposition
were not undemocratic, in that it
sought to destroy utterly the distinctive
sovereignty of the States in the Fed
eral Senate, it could not be made
party issue by the Democrats for the
reason that the resolution had been
adopted by a Republican House, and
the movement really was stronger in
Republican States like Michigan and
WISCONSIN, than it was in Democratic
States like Missouri and Mississippi.
When he failed so signally in his eff
fort to fasten this proposition upon his
party in Congress, Mr.. Bryan is said to
have accepted the failure as a direct
rebuke, and consequently was in no
pleasant frame of mind when he left
Washington. There is likely to be
some interesting reading in the Com
moner soon as a result of this WASH
ington visit.

| CHANGED upon scene of cruel and
useless slaughter Saturday afternoon.
On one side of a broad meadow was a
knoll, which could be seen q mile away.
On this some men had driven half a
dozen short stakes and then wound
them with pieces of black cloth. These
at distance looked like crows feeding
and were used as decoys. The gunners
had concealed themselves behind a
fence and as the crows which we, e f.y-
ing over in large fiocks descended to
See what there was to eat, they were
shot down. The sport" was over when
L passed but on the ground in 4 heap
were crows enough to fill a bushel
basket. A red-shOuldered hawk was also
seen among the slain. There was no
object in shooting the crows, except
for the pleasure of killing something.
1t may be urged that the crow is a
pest and ought to lose his life, but It
is yet an open question whether he does
more harm than good to the farmer
Portland Advertiser
The above does credit to Brother
Cummings kindness of heart but is con-
elusive proof that he never titled the
soil for living. Not one farmer in a
thousand will agree that there are two
slides to the crow question. They regard
the crow as curse and a pest, doing
tons of harm for every pound of good.
They would have only thanks for gun
ners who shot down crows in piles as
large as haystacks. The Journal yields
to no paper in it's devotion to our song
birds and to the feathered folk in gem
eral, but slain crow or a bushel of
slain crows does not fill our heart with
grief.
