CAIRO's MAYOR AND THE SMALL
P0X

Mayor Parsons, of Cairo, quite evil
IDENTIFY intends to run for Office again,
and the newspapers propose to aid
him. Saturday the Bulletin contained
a story from him, that he had called
up Mayor Smith by long distance tele-
phone on Friday. and that Mayor
Smith had sent word he was too busy
to talk. When Mayor Smith learned
of It he wrote to Mayor Parsons. but
so far his letter has not been given
10 the press by the willy Mayor of
midwife.
The fact OF the matter is. Mayor
Parsons called up, while Mayor Smith,
who had just returned from a trip.
was in conference with the board of
health regarding the Cairo quaran-
tine. and he askedlJong distance to
make an appointment with Mayor
Parsons, so that he could tell Mayor
Parsons exactly what the board had
decided to do. When the time arrived
he learned that the call had been
cancelled, and the next day appeared
the statement in the Cairo papers.
that Mayor Smith refused to confer
with Mayor Parsons.
The facts published in the Paducah
papers, regarding the situation at
Cairo, were collected at the confer
ence held here, and were taken from
statements of the Cairo representa-
tives. They promised to send daily
reports of the conditions and the pro-
gress of their efforts against the
smallpox. This they have not done,
and Mayor Parsons has since stated
that they will not furnish any re-
ports, but in the face of the fact,
that at the last report there were
forty-three new cases in one week, he
expressed the opinion that Paducah
Instituted that quarantine to hurt
Cairo's business. And the pity of 1t
is, he doesn't believe any such thing.
Mayor Parsons is afraid ibis own
towns people will find out how miser-
ably he has looked after their inter-
ests In this matter. He is candidate
for Office: that is the trouble with
Parsons. He has not been trying TO
sianlp out the smallpox. but to con-
ceal H. Now that II is exposed. he is
afraid he will be exposed. Cairo has
the smallpox pretty bad, but she is
suffering with something worse than
that.

SOME STORIES

For the first time in Ia years
Messrs c. w. Meacham and ]. NJ.

his childhood for the first time in 80
years. The stranger arrived at 6:10
O'Clock. and in the confusion failed
to make connections with the Cairo
train ami had to wait over "a hours
for another train. The man remained
at the station and his story was un-
usually funny to the employees of the
railroad that in these times OF rapid
transit that a man should let a hun
bred miles separate him from his
lpresent home and his friends of child
hood days. The stranger left this
morning at $3.50 O'Clock for his home
and his expectancy was not jlmmed
in the least by his long wait in the
station last night.

Many speakers took part in our amend
ment campaign, but the greatest orator
who visited our State was the Hon.
John B. Finch Of Nebraska, then Right
Worthy Grand Templar of our worlds
order. He was then in the zenith
of his fame and usefulness, but three
years later, in 1887, after alighting from
the railway car in Boston on his return
from Lynn, where he had addressed a
great mass meeting, he dropped dead at
the early age of IS years.
Goods finger touched him and he sleeps"
My delight in meeting this great orator
when he spoke in Unity l shall never
forget. My father, who is very firm
temperance man, dropped his active bust
ness duties for the greater part of the
day in Freedom village, where our family
then resided, and took me with him to
Unity to hear our great leader, and had
the pleasure of being introduced to him
by Hon. M. J. Dow of Brooks, Past
Grand Chief Templar of our order, and
of whom shall have more to say later
on.

boy our Grand Lodge of Good Templars
assigned me to several towns in Waldo
county, then my home county, and l also
spoke in Appleton, and the chairman of
the meeting was Hon. A. H. Newbert,
now of Rockland, Past Grand Chief Tenn
plar of our order and a very able and
successful business man. Bro. Newbert
and his wife have long been active and
influential members of the order and l
have spent many pleasant hours in their
fine home in Rockland. The amendment
campaign in 1884 was hsld the same year
that Hon. James G. Blaine ran for Pres
ident against Ex-President Grover Cleve-
land, and the people of Maine not only
took great interest in the question of
the adoption or rejection Of the amend
ment but also in the election of Mr.. Blaine
to the Presidency; but when he refused
to vote for the constitutional amendment
the people accused him of 'Dodging the
Amendment" and l remember that Cen
eral Neal Dow was very much stirred up
over the matter. Some few years before
the General died l was escorting him
from the State House to the Augusta
House after he had addressed temper
ance committee; the evening being very
mild and pleasant he preferred to walk.
AS we were passing the Blaine residence
the General stopped and said: "Poor
Blaine, how l loved him. He was the
most brilliant statesman of his day and
generation, but he made the mistake of
his life in not voting for our constitutional
amendment. | thoroughly believe, )"
said Gen. Dow, as he looked fondly at the
mansion, ''that it cost him his election
as President.
At last the great day when the voters
of the State were to decide this impor-
tant question by their ballots came, and
on that day the w. c. T. U. bore a prom
inent part for the adoption. Throughout
the State the women of this noble order
appeared at the polls, furnishing refresh
ments to the voters and exhorting them
to vote for the amendment and the
dearest interests of the home When on
the morning after the election the glori-
Gus news was heralded over Maine that
the amendment had been carried by nearly
so, 900 majority there was great rejoicing
among our people. The vote was 70, 1888
for the amendment and only 23,811
against it, and quite a number of the
smaller towns in the State did not give
single vote for the rejection of the
amendment. l append the following

Late in the afternoon, on our return
home from this meeting, my father said:
"My son, that was the most eloquent
and able temperance address I ever
heard" We then fell to talking about
the Good Templar order, and what a
worlds power it was becoming; but little
did think then, as l was mere boy,
that should ever become lecturer and
organizer of the worlds order, or cross
the seas to foreign lands in Its interest.
l merely speak of this fact to show that
we are all creatures of circumstance. It
was my purpose to be lawyer, and l
studied over year with Hon. VIM. T.
Haines with that intention; but hew as
we may, how often we find ourselves
doing an entirely different kind of work
or business from that which we intended.
Truly has the poet said:
"There is destiny which shapes our ends,
Rough hew them as we may"
