One of the many reasons why a
Porous Plaster is so efficient in
relieving an ache or a pain, cough
or cold, is because it is always on
duty-right over the pain, and the
pores absorb the medication neces-
sary to effect an immediate cure.

Meeting of the Legislature.
No Contests for the Important Offices

NO Contests Tor the important Omces
The 10th Maine Legislature meets at
Augusta next Wednesday, Jan. 7th.
An Augusta special to the Boston
Globe says the outlook is that there
will be no important contests for the
legislative offices.
In the senate Hon. Harry r. Virgin
of Portland will be nominated and elec-
ted president of that body without a
Republican vote against him. Kendall
NJ. Dunbar of Damariscotta will have
no opposition for secretary. There are
several candidates for assistant secre-
tary. A son of Senator Dudley is
prominent.
Charles II. Lovejoy of Sidney, who
has served as messenger of the senate
in many legislatures, will be reelected.
He has no opposition. Walter l. Neal
of Waldo, formerly postmaster of the
house, is a candidate for like position
in the senate.
Hon. Oscar F. Fellows of Bucksport
is the only candidate for speaker of the
house, so he will undoubtedly serve in
that capacity w. S. Cotton of Lisbon
will be returned without opposition.
E. M. Thompson of Augusta, assistant
secretary, is again candidate. Louis
j. Brann OF Lewiston also wants this
place. George H. Fisher, messenger
expects no opposition to his reelection.
In the minor offices, however, many
contests are looked for. New candi-
dates are springing up daily.
On the evening of the opening day of
the session will come the joint Republi-
can caucus of the house and senate.
There is only one contest. The term of
office of Otis Hayford of Canton, State
assessor, expires this year. He desires
denomination. George II. Clark of
Auburn is also a candidate.
The following officials will have no
opposition to denominations: Byron
Boyd of Augusta, Secretary of State;
Oramandel Smith of Litchteld, State
treasurer; George NJ Seiders of Port
land, attorney general; A. W. Gilman
of Foxcroft, commissioner of agricul-
ture; C. b. Burleigh of Augusta. State
printer: H. E. smith of Augusta, State
binder.
The Democrats of the legislature will
make nominations, but as they are hope
lessly in the minority none of their can
dldates can expect an election.

The Fuel Situation.

Belfast received the first installment of
hard coal Christmas morning, when the
schooner Alaska arrived with 800 tons of
furnace, egg and stove sizes for the Belfast
Fuel & Hay Co. This was discharged and
delivered. as soon as possible. Two more
cargoes, aggregating more than 100 tons,
arrived Sunday afternoon They were the
schooners Charlotte I, Sbley with $50 tons
from Edgewater, and Grace Davis with $50
tons from Perth Amboy. These cargoes
have some chestnut coal, in addition to the
larger sizes. The company has fixed the
price at 1918 per ton, with % cents off for
cash if paid in 10 days. This is the lowest
price charged for coal at any place we have
heard of. The Belfast Fuel 4 Hay Co. has
refused offers as high as ST. per ton to send
carload lots out of town, but has refused
them, preferring to give local consumers in
Belfast and adjoining towns the benefit of
the stock on hand. The schooner A. W..
Ellis arrived Monday morning with 272 tons
of buck wheat coal for the Swan & Sibley

Maine the legislature will be asked to
make an appropriation of 100000 for
the institution of Orono, and this will
be asked as necessity. At the session
two years ago an appropriation for the
purpose of building central heating
plant was asked and this request formed
the groundwork for one of the most
stubborn contests of the winter. The
bill was beaten by a narrow margin....
1.-The will of the late Thomas B. Reed
bequeathes all of his estate to his wild
ow, Mrs. Susan p. Reed. The Penob-
scot county commissioners have decided
the apportionment of purchase price of
the toll bridge According to the ruling
Bangor must pay four-f -fifths or $4o,27s,
and Brewer, one-fifth, or $4,000. Penob-
scot county is to pay $4,000. Bangor
will appeal to the Supreme Court to
annul this apportionment as illegal and
void, on the ground that one of the
commissioners, B. B. Merrill, is resi-
dent of Brewer and therefore an in
terested party.

The Black Death In England.

In England the black death in the
fourteenth century made its first ap-
pearance in Dorsetshire and quickly
spreading over the west it reached Lon
don by way of oxford, leaving death
and desolation behind it everywhere.
1t was as fatal in the country as in the
town. Whole villages were depopulat-
ed and small towns almost wiped out
Of existence The dead lay unburied
as they had died, for priests had been
swept away with their fiocks, and in
many parishes there was no one left to
celebrate mass, while every trade and
craft was suspended in the universal
terror and suspense.
To add to the horror Of the times
bands Of marauders roamed about I'M
molested, robbing alike the dead and
the living, and dogs, deprived of their
masters by death, came together in
packs, made ferocious by hunger, and
secured the country like so many bands
Of wolves.

Bryan's "Conmoner" pays Its
respects to Mr.. Rockefeller in the
following extract taken from Its
comments on Gifts from Monopo-
lies.
eff 1t Is possible for a mere stock.
holder to justify participation In
tainted profits. what shall be said
of the director and the manager
himself? In the case of Mr.. Rock
efeller, 1t Is fact known to all that
he not only derives large part OF
his present income from the Stand
ard Oh company. but that the divi-
dends of his standard OH stock have
furnished the money for his other
investments. The tremendous pyr-
amid of his fortune rests upon the
stock OF the Standard OIL company,
and 1t Is a matter only too well
known that In acquiring his fortune
he has resorted to every evil! prac-
tice known to the trusts. He has
forced rivals to sell to him by cut
ting off their market or source OF
supply, or both; he has bankrupted
men who refused to sanction his
business methods. He has violated
the laws of State and nation, and
secured not only rebates, but part
Of the freight paid by others. If
but few of the facts set forth In
"Wealth Versus Commonwealth"
(by Henry D. Lloyd are correct,
no criminal now incarcerated In the
penitentiary for larceny has shown
more Indifference to human rights
and property rights than this same
Rockefeller. Does 1t lessen his sins
that he has given literally to
churches and collegesj Nay, 1t
exaggerafes them, for he attempts
to make others share with him the
odium that his conduct merits. He
Is held up as a Christian, but the
test of Christianity Is not In profess
sion, but In performance, and a
Christian has been too we'll defined
to enable a man like. Rockefeller to
be mistaken for one. IF a man
say l love God and hatch his broth
ers, he Is liar" This may seem
forcihIe uav of n,1ttIup II. but
who has authority to change the
test? And what victim of statute
law has ever shown his hatred Of his
brother more than Rockefeller
has in his management of the
Standard OIL company? "Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as myself"
cannot be proved by distribution
OF a part of ones income If 1t IS
disregarded In the collection of the
income"

CARLYLE AND EMERSON.
No Evidence That Either Ever Seri-
ously Studied Christianity.


The grave charge is to be brought
against both Carlyle and Emerson that,
while they were the product of Chris
tan civilization and drew the sub
stance of their message from the re-
igious faith of their people, there is
no evidence that either ever seriously
studied Christianity. The greatest
phenomenon in human history engages
but lightly the attention or the enthu-
siasm of either, nor does either fathOm
the need Of the humanity that has
risen on the strength of the gospel OF
Christ. 1t was the dim perception of
this fact that led Lord Jeffrey to re-
mark to Carlyle that he went about
as if he were to found a new religion.
No one had done anything for mans
soul until he came. One can hardly
read the correspondence of Carlyle and
Emerson without the feeling Of their
excessive consequentialness in the
presence of the immense historic
achievement of spiritual genius; in the
presence of the spirit, the teaching and
the influence of Jesus. Both were es-
sentially modest men, and yet they
lived in the sense of a uniqueness and
an Importance which they do not pos
sess. They are both frequently oracu-
lar when uttering with literary distinc-
ton only the commonplace moral wis
dom of the Christian world. 1t is a
valid criticism upon Carlyle and Elmer
son that they failed to recognize the
rock whence they were hewn and that
they did not exhaust the quarry; that
they were oblivious Of the pit whence
they were digged, and that the precious
metal remained after they were taken
out in boundless abundance.-Rev.
George A. Gordon, D. D., in Atlantic.

A Story of mold Ironsides.n

One of the most famous Of the Con-
stitution's exploits was during the war
Of 1872, when she escaped from Broke's
squadron, among which she had acct
dentally fallen. The sea was almost a
dead calm, so Captain Hull had to re-
sort to towing. All her boats were
lowered, with long lines attached and
in addition Hull had ropes spliced to-
gether to make line half mile long,
to which he attached kedge anchor.
This was carried in boat half mile
ahead and dropped, when the crew
hauled the ship rapidly forward. The
commodore of the English squadron
soon adopted the same tactics, and If
it had not been for breeze springing
up the Constitution would have been
captured.

EmphnsizinS . Fact.

There are peculiarities, idiosyncrasies
of expression, which emphasize and
accentuate facts. 1t is not enough to
say, he is deaf" We invariably add,
"as a post" 1t would appear sufficient
to say, "he is blind" but we prefer in
nearly all cases to admit of no contra
diction by announcing that he is "stone
blind" To be dead should suffice;
dead as a doornail'' clinches the fact.
