WHO IS G.. M. HANCOCK?

The Mexican correspondent of the
Louisiana Planter promulgates the fol-
lowing as news:
THAT several Hawaiian sugar plant
ers are looking to Mexico as a field
for future extensive operations is the
declaration of G. NJ. Hancock, of Hon.
olulu, who has been in Mexico for the
past two months examining sugar
lands. He states that labor troubles
and the big expenditures necessary for
fertilizing and frrigating are causing
some planters to consider the transfer
of their activities from the Hawaiian
Islands to Mexico. Mr.. Hancock rep
resents a powerful American syndi-
cate, which, he says, is ready to spend
from s., O0O,O 900 to 100000 gold in the
purchase of Mexican sugar land and
the erection of modern sugar house.
He has already visited the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec, and believes that the
lack of transportation facilities in
many of the best sections of Veracruz
and Oaxaca is a serious drawback to
the establishment of a sugar industry.
He is now making investigations IN the
country adjacent to the port of Tam
pico, where excellent results are being
obtained by several sugar concerns"

A States representation at Harvard may
serve as barometer for the purpose OF de-
termining the nature of its intellectual at
mosphere. For the purposes of comparison,
from its geographical position. and the social
life of it's people, the State of Rhode Island
may be included with Massachusetts, a State
which naturally draws the most students to
Harvard as it is the home of the institution
in question.
Excluding Rhode Island then, with Mas
sachnsetts, this fact is significant: Maine in
proportion to its population leads all the
other States in representation at Harvard.
AS an index of States attitude toward
representation at Harvard University serves
excelently, for the college and the profess
siOnal schools attract students prOmiscuOus-
ly from all over the country without regard
to home colleges.
Another fact to be noticed is the trend of
representation. Beginning with Maine and
including number of the Eastern States
there is general drift of decreasing repre-
sentatiOn toward the West Returning again
over the same ground the representation
gradually decreases until in swerving TO-
ward the South there is a very marked fall
ling Off Finally, there comes the great de-
crease in the extreme Southern States until
with Mississippi, the last in the list, there
is only one in $4,000 in comparison with
Names one in 5,7S7.

GO INTO SOCIETY MORE.
Bishop Vincent Says it is Nonsense to Stay
Out for sake of "Piety."

Bishop Vincent Says it is Nonsense to Stay
Out for sake of 'Piety."
BALTIMORE, Feb. 20. At the session
of the Seven Lays Study in Church
Life minister suggested that our
social life is too highly organized and
that people have too many engagements.
Bishop Vincent smiled broadly and
said:
"Well, we don't want to shut our
selves up from the world. We ought,
as Christian people, to 60 into society a
great deal more than we do. There is
a beautiful Christian life without cant,
where personality meets personality
and impresses itself by association,
where the Christian doesn't forever
talk religion, but shows his life in his
face. l know people who won't 60 in
to society at all, and say they do it for
piety's sake, while, as matter of fact,
they can't shine in society, they can't
be popular and have no accomplish
ments; and because of their selfishness
that is at the bottom of it-they stay
away from social affairs and claim piety
in the act. II is all the worst kind of
nonsense. 1t is great thing to be able
to 60 into society, and children ought
to be brought up with the ability to
shine in any circle.
II know many good Christians who
never talk religion outright in society,
but who so effect those who lead incOn-
sistent lives that even a sight of them
is sometimes as good as a sermon. Let
Christians go into society and become
its leaders,"

items we're on the bill this year will have
great influence in getting them on again.
Furthermore in the next Congress the Gov
ernor will be strategically in even strong
er position. He and Chairman Gillett were
the two leading members in the framing of
the bill. Chairman Gillett retires to private
life at the end of this session and Gov. Bur-

after the Inauguration and the adjournment

be detained here for some days and possibly
for SOME weeks at the extra session of the
Senate. This extra session will be called
chiefly for the transaction of executive
business, such as the confirming of nOmina-
tions. But they will also have some work
in the ratification of treaties.

BANGOR LIQUOR CASES.

Jail Commitments and Fines, Despite
Leniency Pleas.
Liquor cases were taken up in the su-
preme court at Bangor Feb. 22nd and
the five which were considered resulted
in as many Jail sentences and commit
ments, although all were represented
by counsel, who pleaded for leniency on
various grounds.
From the prompt and positive action
in these cases it is considered certain
that every liquor dealer whose case
comes to judgment at this term will
be sent to Jail, and there is general con-
sternation among the liquor dealers.
Cases were disposed of as follows:
Albert MCGEE, Front St., search and
seizure, appeal overruled, 60 days in
Jail.
Charles c. Patterson, 124 Haymarket
So, three counts, sentenced on all three,
aggregating five months in Jail and 5000
fines and costs, with two months addi-
tional in default of fine.
Edward White, Washington St., two
counts, five months in Jail and 5000 fine,
with 60 days additional in default Of
fine
In the case of Samuel J Foster, three
counts, the county attorney asked for
ieniency on account of Fosters willing
testimony for the State in the Lawless
manslaughter case. The court, however,
gave Foster five months in Jail and 500
and costs, with 80 days additional in
default of fine.
Frank Gallant, Exchange ST., pleaded
nolo to indictment at the present term,
his first case, and was sentenced to two
months in jail
At Thursdays session number Of
like sentences were imposed. The
court adjourned Monday. The Daily
News says:
At the present term of court, Is liq-
uor dealers have been sent to Jail. A
few present term indictments have
been continued, great many dealers
demurred, and II defaulted bail. All
of these "bail- Jumpers it is stated,
will sooner or later be brought to JUS
tice.
The term has been distinct triumph
for County Attorney Patten. OF the
many cases which he has tried during
the past two weeks he has lost only
one-and even in this there was dis
agreement of the jury.

oSTEoPATHY IN PNEUMONIA.

Said one of Chicago's most emf
nent physicians last winter: mot q
medicine is known that will do one
particle of good in pneumonia, and
the sooner we resume the search for
one, the better for ourselves and the
people," But ne must add: failure
must always meet the research for
a medicine, for the cause lies beyond
medicine. Medical textbooks say the
state in pneumonia is filling OF the
lung tissue with blood and serum
which has exuded from the weaken-
ed and dilated blood vessels. The
osteopath goes further and finds that
these blood vessels arr weakened by
loss of nerve force which is cut off
by pressure on the vaso-motor nerves
to the lungs. The cure depends on
the removal of this pressure, Thus
it is seen why medicine must fail.
The 0steopath finds this pressure to
be from slightly displaced vertebras
and ribs. Correct these and the cure
speedily follows, as was demonstrat-
ed the past week in our city on a
case which the medical doctor gave
up and the osteI path cured. For
particulars, call on Drs. Hoislngton.

is charged with assaulting Samuel

count of stock, Fisher claiming that
Browns stock annoyed him by run

mentioned trouble arose, and Brown
shot Fisher, claiming it was in self
defense, which his friends hope will
prove to be the case, as Mr.. Brown

Frost Iniures Fruit.

Fruit growers In the lewiston
Charleston districts are much concern
ed over the damage to fruit by the
prevailing cold weather. and from
examinations already made it is fear
ed that the sweet cherry crop Will be
materially affected by the freeze. 1t
ls believed that peaches have been
damaged but little. but the exact con-
ditions cannot be determined until
the cold weather has passed.
c. T. Stranahan reports that an
examination of his orchard shows that
the sweet cherries have suffered the
most and not more than 20 per cent
of the buds are alive. The peaches
have not been damaged more than 8
per cent. -
L. A. Porter states that in his or
chard the sweet cherries have been
badly damaged, but peaches seem to
be, all right.-Lewiston Tribune.
