The legislative committee to con-
slider the plan of establishing State
Board of Education, gave an impor-
tant hearing at Waterville last week.
1t was ascertained that the most of
the delegation was in favor of estab-
fishing such a board. The bill which
they are considering provides that
there shall be chosen or appointed a
board of capable men who shall have
charge of the school system of the
State, and shall employ secretary
who shall be the executive power of
the school system. 1t is also propos-
ed to employ assistants who shall be
known as agents, whose duty it shall
be to visit the schools, looking and
making suggestions and recommend
atoms to the different superintend =
ents and to the school authorities in
each place. Further consideration
will be given this matter; but if any
change is to be made in our school
system the present would seem the
proper time, when new State
Superintendent comes into power.

Municipal Court News.

Some liquor hearings, brought over
from the previous week, were held in
the Skowhegan Municipal Court Mon
day morning.
Henry Washburn, proprietor of the
hotel at Bingham appeared and made
a statement of considerable length in
which he explained that, subsequent
to the raid by the Sturgis DEPUTIES at
his place, some weeks since, he de-
cided that no Intoxicating liquors
be hereafter sold on his premises.
He did, however. intend to handle
Uno beer, the sale of which does not
violate the prohibitory law. His deal
ing in this, in his opinion, led to the
report that he was still conducting an
illegal business and the second visit
of the Sturgis deputies on June %,
and from this circumstance he had
concluded that even the sale of Uno
should be discontinued and he was
ready to assure the Court that from
the present time he would not sell
nor allow to be sold either liquors
prohibited by law or beers of the Uno
grade.
A. K. Butler, Esq, who appeared
for the state, credited Mr.. Washburn's
statement to the extent of consenting
to mol pros the case, doubtless being
influenced to this action somewhat
from the fact that the evidence upon
which the charge under consideration
was based was not sufficient to make
conviction certain. Mr.. Washburn
paid all the costs arising from the
search and subsequent court proceed
ings.
Mrs. Alphonse Dennis of Madison
was placed on trial on the charges
arising from the search and seizure at
her residence, June %. She was ad-
judged guilty by the court. The
usual sentence of fine and imprison-
ment and the case was appealed by
the respondent.

The ssefe&&fy of Agriculture just
hits the nail on the head when he
says that meat prices are high be-
cause the American people are eating
more meat to-day than ever before in
their lives. They are subjecting their
stomachs to grind that is too much
for them. Meat they insist upon
two or three times a day. Inmi-
grants are coming at the rate Of a
million year. They had no meat at
home, but they insist upon it here.
And then look at the animals and
meat products which we export,
amounting last year to S323,000,000.

Lillian Nordica, the great prima
donna, is a native of Pennington,
wnere she was once charming little
girl, beginning her singing experience
at school exhibitions. AS we men
toned last week, she now proposes to
devote large share of the great for
tune she has made with her magnifi-
cent voice to the founding Of an insti-
tuition for the perpetuation of opera in
America, which will follow closely the
lines taken by Richard Wagner in
founding the great operate institu-
tion at Bayreuth. For this purpose
she has already purchased a twenty
acre tract of land overlooking the
Hudson river convenient to New
York, on which will be erected dur
ing the next year an operate institu-
ton which is expected to take its place
as one of the greatest in the world.
Here aspirants for operate honors
may devote their time to the study
of music under the greatest voice
masters to be found in the world.

Francis Murphy, the Apostle of the
Gospel of Temperance is dead. He
died at Los Angeles, Cal, at the age
of II years. He began his career in
Portland. He was a rumseller and
during drunken row man was kill
ed at his establishment. That event
changed the whole course of his life.
He signed the pledge somewhat
similar to that of the Washingtonian
movement and made the rescue of
drinking men the work of his life.
We knew him well and remember
how at first the people were suspi-
cious of him, some refusing to enter
tain him at their homes. But he be-
came a great and eloquent platform
orator, a delightful and persuasive
man, people fiocking to his standards
by thousands and tens of thousands.
He combined with genuine Irish wit,
solid and convincing argument and
was the means of saving many CRATE
full men from the pitfalls of life. He
deserves a glittering crown.
