THE LIQUOR LAW.

At the January term of 5. j. Court, Chief
Justice Wiswell announced that Jail SEN
fences would be imposed on all convictions
under the liquor law after April LIST. After
that date frequent searches and seizures
were made, and at the September term four
men convicted of liquor selling were sent to
jail. The drug stores and hotels gave up
their U. S. tax licenses April 1st, as did
most if not all of the saloon keepers. There
is one case now pending for the January
some of the places for which the proprietors
| received the Jail sentences.
The interest in the better class of horses
materially increased, chiefly through the
stables of Horace Chenery and M. B..
Smith, at both of which large numbers of
fine animals are kept. Horses from these
stables started IN races on various tracks
| and won "a number of purses l.. L. Gent
ner's Henry. liter was driven in several
| races by Henry Gentner. The horses
| record to date is: started in Is races; won

Chenery shipped a carload of high-class
horses to New York in December to be sold

POSTAL.
A petition was sent to Washington in
January to establish rural free delivery
| route via Citypoint to Swanville, thence in
| TO Searsport and to Belfast by the "back
| road" A remonstrance was sent from
| Citypoint, as it would abolish their post
office and give them but one R. F. D. mail
| per day instead of four by train as at pres
| ent. The route was not established.
| An order was issued in February that
| mail to and from Castine be sent via Capt.
| Benefits steamer, but as the proposed
| change in the route of the steamer was not
| made the order was rescinded.
| The star route from Belfast to Freedom
was curtailed in May by aboishing the
offices at Knox and Knox Centre, which are
| served by r. f. d. from Thorndike. The
northern terminus is now at East Knox.

and where in the company of the
three members Of his family. he reads,

among his books, his antiquities. relics
and other possessions which he has
secured from almost every quarter of

fairs that make him the leading hum

Wilson Is today, in spite of the fact
that he is much younger than many
others in the same line Of business.
the real dean of the comic opera
stage. Mr.. Wilson was born in Phila-
deIphia and at an early age showed
unmistakabIe signs of adopting the
stage as a profession. He never made
failure. He has played many parts
and was always a success "a far as
his individual work was concerned.
Nearly Is years ago "Erminie'' was
first produced at the New York CAST
no. In the ralc assigned To Mr.. VIII
son he made Il distinct and an ever
lasting hit with his audiences; il was
success that attached itself TO him
ever since. and the popularity which
the comedian gained at that time has
has been his until this day and promis-
es to be his until he finishes his work
on the mimic stage. His wonderful
success in this opera has been as
sociated with him in other produc-
tons. but many of the other produc-
tions were not enthusiastically re-
ceiFed and so generously approved as
was ''Erminie." So important was the
work of Mr.. Wilson in this opera that
from the very first his name has been
ins eparably connected with it. as are
the names IF jefferson with RIP Van
Wrinkle" and O'NcilI with Monte
Cristo." Since "Erminie" was origi-
nally produced Mr.. Wilson has appear
ed in number Of operas. including
The Merry Monarch The Round
ers." The Little Corporal" The
Monks Of Malabar.~ The Strollers,"
Z yrano de Bergerac.' The Torea-
DOR" and many other productions. but
in "Erminie" Mr.. Wilson is best known
and admired.
