The Givcr of Grace.

Jesus was full Of pity and compass
sion. the divine love manifcSting itself
in a free will offering for mans saliva
ton. He was grace itself, the gift Of
God, and also the giver Of grace, grac"
perSonifieG. Grace is love, and God
Is love, and this is His divin2st expires
sion. and Christ is its personal mani
festation. And the manifestation of
grace in Jesus is the greatest and most
blessed revelation of God TO man. This
Christ. who was pre-eXistent and in
the bosom of the Father, declares of
His own authority. and this revelation
is truth. And Christ, who made grace
possible to a sinner and who declares
and bestows it, is Himself the Truth
because of his fullneSS of grace and
truth which He manifests in His per
sons. W. Pratt in Evangelist.

Sweet Clover.

"Sweet Clover" a comedy drama
In four acts by Pauline Phelps and
Marion Short must be credited
with one of the most pronounced
and substantial hits of the season
1t tells of a sweet young girl, reared
by an old father with Jealous care,
least she fall into the path that
years before led her mother TO for
sake her baby and husband.
The plot leads with rapid Sc
quence through events wherein the
girl learns that her secret lover IS
the son of the man who lured away
her mother. She then marIies the
man her father chooses for her, and
while happy In his love, and learn
Ing to return 1t In full measure,
meets her returned lover, and dis =
covers he was only the adopted son
of the villain. The climax of the
play comes when, after tableaux
party, husband and wife having
returned home, the frantic lover
enters the house through a door
momentarily left sjar by the
husband who Is preparing to leave
the civ that night. The wife de
sends In her chamber robe to say a
parting word to her husband and
finds herself In the presence OF
the old love instead. The scene
that ensues In intensely dramatic.
The young wife true to her hus-
band, keenly feels the indignity
thrust upon her honor; and the I'm
petuous lover seals his doom when
be tries to force his caresses upon
her. Banished and loathed he leaves
but the husband'e suspicious being
aroused, returns to discover the
recent presence of the man, and %
cast off the innocent but compro
missed wife. But, like all plays,
Sweet Clover" ends happily for
all concerned. The characters are
all exceptionally well drawn, the
rural atmosphere Is perfect and the
comedy element so strong as to
make the play seem like an April
day, alternating between sunshine
and showers.

A Prosperous Maine Company.

One of the most prosperous and
largest financial institutions in the
State, the Union Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company of Portland, publishes
its Fifty-third Annual report in these
columns today. Even the casual
reader will notice that remarkable ad-
vances are shown in the many depart
ments of it's business and that the
company is forging ahead with per-
sistency and regularity that is note
worthy. These advances, it will be no.
ticed, are not for one or two years
alone but extend over g period of ter
years uninterruptedly. covering the
time that Hon. Fred e. Richards has
been in executive charge of the insti-
tuition and the large measure OF sue
cess that has attended his efforts for
the Union Mutual has added decidedly
to his previously well established
reputation as a financier.
A moments consideration of the va
rious items in the report single out the
fact that more than $9000,000 repre-
sent the increase in assets during the
ten years just past, almost half mil
lion dollars the advance in surplus
and the yearly income shows an in
crease of more than ninety per cent
These items are of the utmost sigrlh-
canoe and indicate that the finances of
the institution are in superb condition
and that its investments are in The
highest class of securities. The vol
unle of insurance in Maine carried by
the Union Mutual has been wonder
fully increased, so that it is now about
three and one-half times larger than
ten years ago. This indicates that the
institution stands well with the citi-
zens of Maine, which, however, is no
more than it ought to do, for a COM
pany that is strong and prosperous
merits the patronage Of the people
where it is established

TUESDAYS POLICE COURT.
A Cushnoc Heights ARRAY Makes a
Little Business.

At a late hour, Monday night, the
police were called to Cushnoc heights
where they arrested Sylvester Holt,
whom they found in very delapidated
condition. Holt was intoxicated in the
superlative degree, and his face was
scarified to such an extent as never
could have resulted from natural
causes. 1t was evident that he had
been up against something, and the
police, in the course of their investi-
cation. ascertained that he had had
trouble with Elmer Pinkham, who lives
at 35 Jefferson street. Holt was taken
to the station and locked up, but Pink
ham could not be found. A brother,
Henry Pinkham, was found however,
and the story told by him was that
Holt came home with his brother Ell
mer in the evening, and that Holt
had a half pint of liquor Later Ell
mer Pinkham and Holt went out again
and got pint of liquor and they gave
him a drink and he went to bed, only
to be awakened by the noise of quar-
reling in another room. On going in
he found the two fighting and he part
ed them and finally succeeded in get
ting Holt out of the house. Holt then
went to another house and made so
much noise that a telephone call was
sent to the police.
Holt was kept at the station during
the forenoon, Tuesday, and in the af-
ternoon Elmer Pinkham came in, and
the two appeared before the court.
Pinkham's story was similar to that of
his brother. He said that he had in
vited Holt to stay all night with him.
and that after coming home from the
trip out to get q fresh supply of liquor,
which he got a stranger to secure for
him, he and Holt went home and to
go to bed. That on a stand by the bed
was a lady'S watch, and that he saw
Holt put it in his pocket; that he told
Holt to put it back, and that the latter
denied having it. That finally he told
Holt that if he didn't put it back, he
would make him. Then the trouble
began, and judging from the appear
ance of Hollis visage when he came
into court, the threat to make him, re-
store the watch to it's accustomed
place was quite strenuously carried
out Holt claimed to- know nothing
of the watch but as it was found in
his pocket at the police station, the
court held him guilty, and imposed
a sentence of 80 days in Jail, which
was later suspended during good be-
havior. Pinkham also, was placed on
probation.

THE LEGISLATURE.
Bill Allowing Steam Railroads
to Operate Tro|leys.
Little New Business Presented at
Yesterdays Session.
Largely Attended Hearing on Reduc.
ing the Savings Banks Tax.

Both houses convened after the Sun
day recess at 1.30 o'clock, yesterday
afternoon. but there was small at
tendance of members present in each
branch. On account of the fact that
many important hearings were
scheduled for the Afternoon there was
but little new business presented and
the sessions were of shor- duration.

introduced was the bill authorizing
|steam railroad corporations to build
land operate street railroads and pur-
chase or lease such railroads. The bill
was presented in the upper branch by
Senator Randall of Cumberland and is
las follows:
Section 1. Every railroad corpora
|tion established under the laws of this
State. owning or operating railroads
therein with steam for a motive power,
shall have the same right to con-
struct and operate street railroads as
that possessed by a company formed
under the general laws for that pur-
pose. by complying with the provisions
of said general laws as they now exist
or may be hereafter amended.
Section 2. Any such railroad desir-
ing to avail itself of such right shall,
by vote, increase it's capital stock to
an amount equal to the requirements
of law for the railroad already owned
by it and the requirements of law for
the street railroad proposed to be built,
if the existing amount be not equal to
such amount. and shall present to the
board of railroad commissioners
written application, subscribed and
sworn to by majority of it's directors,
setting forth the desire of the petition
ers and that the required amount of
capital stock has been in good faith
subscribed by responsible persons and
that five per cent. thereof has been
paid in cash. to the treasurer of said
corporation. If such application is APP
proved by the board of railroad COM
missioners. such corporation shall have
the right to avail itself of all the pro-
visions of the general laws for the
construction and operation of street
railroads, and shall have the same
right to build and operate such roads
in the public highways and be subject
only to the duties, liabilities and re-
lstrictions as to such portions of it's
railroad as are built under the pro-
visions of this act as are by the pro-
visions of the general laws conferred
or imposed upon street railroad cor
porations in their use of the public
highways.
Section 8. Every railroad corpora
ton established under the laws of the
State. owning or operating railroads
herein with steam for a motive power,
with consent of the railroad commits
sioners. may purchase or, lease the
property and franchises of any street
railroad company established by the
laws of this State, upon such terms
and conditions as may be agreed
upon by the respective corporations,
and may purchase and hold the stock
and bonds of any such street railroad
company. Every street railroad COM
pany established by the laws of this
State is hereby authorized to make
such sales or lessees of it's property
and franchises

In the Senate. yesterday, Senator
Staples of Knox. presented a bill
changing the manner of assessing the
common school fund. The measure
provides that not less than 40 cents for
at present shall be assessed, and also
that the mill tax, so-called, shall be
increased to one and three quarters
of mill. The bill is as follows:
Section 1. Section 6 of Chapter II
of the Revised Statutes is hereby
amended by striking out the word
eighty in the fifth line of said sec
ton and inserting in place thereof the
word forty SO that said section as
amended shall read as follows:
"'Section 6. Every town shall raise
and expend. annually, for support of
schools therein, exclusive of the in
come of any corporate school fund, or
of any grant from the revenue or funds
of the State, or of any voluntary do
nation, devise or bequest, or of any
forfeiture accruing to the use of
schools. not less than forty cents for
each inhabitant, according to the GEN.
sus by which representatives were
last apportioned, under penalty of for
feitinE not less than twice nor more
than four times the amount of it's de-
ficiency.'
Section 2. :, Section 119 of Chapter
IL of the Revised Statutes is hereby
amended by striking out the words
zone mill in the first line of said sec
ton and inserting in place thereof the
words "one and three -fourths mills" so
that said section as amended shall read
as follows:
Section 119. A tax of one and
three -fourths mills on a dollar shall an
nually be assessed upon all the prop
erty in the State according to the val
uation thereof. and shall be known as
the mill tax for the support of common
schools
1t will be seen that this bill reduces
the amount of money which the towns
must raise by one-half and increases
the States stipend just three quarters
