April 14.-Mrs. I. H. Bartholomew is
 rapidly improving at Dr. Cheney's san- itarium in New Haven.
 Charles E. filling, the carrier on the local@rur free delivery route, Is at the New Haven hospital, where he has un-
 dergone an operation by which several gallstones were removed. It Is said that MT. filling bore the operation well and that he is progressing favorably. |, Morris E. filling. Yale '05s D. S., is spending the Easter recess at his home here. |, MT. and Mrs. Charles Ferguson are rejoicing over the advent of a boy, born April 5.
 The bright Easter sun brought out 6 large number of worshippers to each of our churches last Sunday. Floral decorations were attractive and the ser- vices of the day were greatly enjoyed. At St. Andrews church very large number received the holy communion, and e-year-old Miss Grace Revere rendered solo at the offertory in a manner which enchanted the congrega- tion.t At the children's festival, which was held in the evening, the carols were delightfully."- sung and young man re- ceived the sacrament of baptism. Mrs. Serene Foote and daughter, of Middletown, are visiting friends in this place.

THE EMBARGO FRETs BOSTON.

The cattle that the Boston steamship men would like to ship from this port come from away out West, where there is no chance of infection. They are brought East in cars that are disin- fected and cleaned after each shipment, They can be shipped from Boston to- day with as little chance of any ex- posture to the foot and mouth disease as if they were shipped from St. John or Halifax. But no such shipments will be made so long as the embargo is on.
 So the whole thing rests with Secre- tary Wilson now. He has taken off the embargo on outside" wool shipments from Boston. He has even more reason for taking off the cattle embargo, so far as it affects cattle brought here from the West The embargo has hurt the steamship business here more than most of the lines care to say. There is no reasonable excuse for keeping it up any longer.-Boston Advertiser.

THE MAINE ZIMMERMAN.

There are several very cheerful features about the advent of the lumbermen to Bangor this spring. They have. come to us with more money than ever before. They have lived in our city and traded at our stores, and thus have materially aided the general pros- perity of the city. Still another potent reason for being glad that the lumber men have come to Bangor in such number this spring is that they have not indulged in any great excesses, but have so deported themselves that they will always be welcomed on account of their gentlemanly ways while among us. Members of the Bangor police force who have been in service for years tell us there has been less disturbance this spring than for a dozen seasons, and while many have patronized the bar rooms and have taken much liuuor, taere have been few arrests and the ing order. The old-time lumberman who howled and broke windows and made much disturbance was no doubt g. picturesque person and one who had his uses in the world, but his day has gone by. We are finding out gradually that anything which we may do or try to do cannot accelerate or retard the revolution of this old earth, which has uniform movement at all times. Men of the cowboy type helped us in gain ing this valuable information. They had their fan and paid for It, often more than it was worth. The old days are dead, and though we do not make so much noise as formerly, we can still have our share of fun and can enjoy it without interfering with the rights of others.-Bangor News.

RYERs RETURNS FROM EAST.
New Military Bill PIeases Adjutant
General.

Des Moines. Jan. 31.-Adjutant Gen.
eral Byers has returned from Wash
ington, where he has been looking
after the intrests of the Iowa Nation
al Guard in legislation. He is well
satisfied that the Iowa claims for
money expended in equipping the
volunteers for the war against Spain
will all be met this winter, part Of
the claims through the auditing de-
partment and part by direct appro-
priation. He Is immensely pleased
with the passage of the Dick bill for
making the national guards of the va
rious states part Of the regular es-
adjustment and creating of the guard
a definite reserve for war purpose In
connection with the army. Before
leaving Washington he called on the
chief of the ordnance department and
ascertained that the bureau is ready
to do its part in supplying the guards
men with guns and equipment. The
chief of the bureau stated that he has
already shipped 10000 stands of arms
to the Rock Island arsenal and from
these will be supplied the regiments
of the guards In this part of the coun.
try. General Byers believes the effect
of the new idea in consolidating the
regulars and the guards will be to
greatly benefit the guards. Nothing
was done in the matter of deciding
what number of guardsmen will go to
Fort Riley to go into camp with the
regulars NEXT summer
