DR. Fred G.. Kinsman returned, Sat
urday, from a fishing trip to Sebec lake,
ir PiSca taquis county, Bringing with
him as handsome u string Of trout as
ever came into Augusta. He says that
fishing is great at Sebec, and nearly
everybody who goes there gets all the
law allows. Not so fortunate We're Col.
f. G. Harrington and Henry f. Capen,
who have just returned from Enfield.
They failed to make a haul, as they
had fondly expected, and they attrib-
ute their failure to the GOODNESS of the
water in the lake. The ice hadn't been
out long enough to give the sun Il
chance to get in its work. Hence the
trout wouldn't rise.

Here is what the Rockland Opinion
has to say of Il young man we'll known
in this city where he passed most OF the
winter: Mr. Fred Richard Davis. the
Youthful New Hampshire Magician
who came down here to entertain the
Board of Trade men at their annual
BANQUET. has caught on in great STYLE
and as his fame spreads he Is over
whelmed with calls from all parts OF
the county. This Friday evening,
April "a, he will give an evening OF
magic ut Memorial hall. NlnalhaVeh'
for the benefit of the Baseball Asso-
citation there. He appeared Win
great success at the Y. NJ. I. A ath-
letic meet, last week, and on Iuesday
did his famous trunk trick and Few
other selected ones between acts at
the theatre in Farwell opera house.
He is really a very clever professor
of magic and manual dexterity, and
his work IS done with a smoothness
and ease that makes it extremely
amusing. He is very young man,
hut has completely mastered pretty
much all of the achievements OIL the
famous wizards of the world, ana IN
some instances has improved on their
methods. This trunk mystery, IN
aeed is an old one, and has been done
nv several artists. But he does II
ouicker and heater than any of them
as his method is simpler, though even
harder to be detected. All others use
trunks thct have to be kept carefully
secluded to prevent the discovery OF
their secret ways Mr.. Davis uses the
trunk he carries his own goods IN ana
lets people examine it all they please

CONTRACT FOR CANAL.

Now that we are to have the Panama canal is i'm
portan that the enterprise be begun possible

cient bond being required remedy any faults that time
may reveal
AS things are done it costs city, state nation
about e-fOurth more do a given amount of work
than it would cost individual a corporation. If the
canal contract should be let there would doubtless be
greater expedition in the building of the ditch than if
left the slow processes of government management;
there would be scandal growing of the appoint
ment of political favores to positions they utterly
incapable of filing there would be delays waiting
for congress to pass appropriation bills which might be
hung up because had been unable to land a

and John B. McDonough are outlining company that
canal over Uncle Sam in good working order Mac
Donough is the who is constructing the under
ground railway in New York If it known that the
contract would be let in ali probability there would be
other bidders in the field
Morgan would expect, of course, to make money out
of the contract but the fact remains that he would do the
work cheaper than it could be done by government

FIRST DEGREE INNOCENCE.

The ex-good DR.. Ames. of Minneapolis,
faced the blind girl who mpartially balances the scales
of justice and times asserted innocence in the first
degree. Bail fixed $4,000 and Ames remanded
to the OF the sheriff until satisfactory bond should
be provided
The bald proposition is that if Ames is guilty. he
should do time in Saltwater the same as any other feon
II he were some poor workingman out of employment
wife and children hungry, and he had stolen sack of
potatoes he would be hustled along with scant cere-
nony, put on trial, convicted and in Saltwater in few
days. There infinitely less excuse for Ames going
wrong than IN the case of the poor man. Ames had
money III plenty, had the confidence of the people, had
been trusted by themand the evidence so far as known
goes to show him guilty of about all the statutory and
moral crimes in the books His guilt innocence is to
be determined by fair trial.
1t seems to have been expected by Ames friends and
attorneys that he would be tried separately on some of
the petty charges such taking small sums of money
from women outcass, in which case no ury would send
him to the pentenary But the county attorney sprung
surprise in the way of of omnibus Indictment
containing number of charges, aggregating large
sum of money and making the offense serious one

by City Still Considered.

What will you give in addition to
compliance with the regular charter
provisions for a renewal of your gas
and electric light franchise?"
This is what the city franchise COM
mission intends to PROFOUND to the
st. Paul Gas company and the Edison
Electric Light company. The answer
is to be partially given at a meeting
OF the commission and representatives
of the two companies arranged for next
Thursday afternoon.
The public, however. is not to be ad-
mltted, for one of the stipulations is
that it will be executive. The COM
pany is to be asked to unbosom itself
regarding many things that it would
hardly like its rivals to know and for
this reason the executive session was
decided upon.
Inc conference was arranged for yes
terday afternoon between the commits
sion and Carl Taylor, the st. Paul Gas
company's attorney. Mr.. Taylor init
mated that his company might be will
ing to make a number of concessions
for renewal of its franchise and
readily agreed to the conference next
Thursday afternoon.
The commission is still considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of having introduced
in the legislature a bill providing for
the absorption by the city of the gas
plant when the st. Paul company's
franchise expires, but nothing will be
done until after the conference next
Thursday.

the contractors will seek to escape on the nIea
that the responsibility passed from them when the ub

be held to strict accountability If through careless
ness the piping left at the mercy of the frost then
It will not be difficult to fix the blame
1t will cost the city perhaps $4,000 to make GOOD

money should be spent to make good loss sustained

honesty OF contractors The public will expect Civ En-
