When every saloon keeper, every gambler, every dkrep stable element in the greet city of Chicago is clamoring for Snadey dosing of the greet Fair, it is well for Christian people, and es pecially members of the Christina clergy to seriously ask themselves if this is the aide upon which the interest# of Christian moral ity require them to enlist. Many of the lead teg clergymen of the country are already outspokenly in favor of Sunday opening of the Expogfttioa and there is reason to believe that their number will be Largely increased as the condition# surrounding the great Fair become more generally known. There has never been anything in American his tory more elevating and ennobling than this great Colombian Exposition. On Sunday, May M, the gates were open, but no machinery was in motion. Too hundred thousand p*o£h*. very largely of the working class, spent the day within the gale*. It was an orderly crowd. The writer has yet to find any one who saw m all that vast th/ong of people a single per son under the influence of liquor.

The correspondent of the Camden Herald ' at K.astport lias a very interesting letter in ' the last number of the Herald eoneerning the reeent celebrarion at St. Stephen of the j anniversary of t^uevn Victoria s birthday He says: “The parade to the music of excel- 1 lent bands, marched across the bridge which j spans the St. Croix through the streets of Calais, which is always reciprocated by the Calais parados on the 4th of July marching 1 across the hriJge and through the streets 1 of St. Stephen. One of the comic element- 1 of the parade was a Chinaman in full . oriental dress marching over the bridge on to American soil in apparent unconscious ness of the rigid enforcement of the wicked t»eary Chinese exclusion act. so recently 1 deci ted to be constitutional by the Supreme * Court of the United States." “Others are stationed on either side of ; the bridge to see that the revenue laws sre strictly enforced; but. in spite of all pro- * cautionthis bridge is probably the tfw- 1 uughfare for more smuggling than any i 1 bridge in the world. The cunning device* by which it is accomplished are manifold ' Some of the people, however, are very con- * indention* and look upon the smuggling i f ‘ the smallest articles as much of crim.- ' as stealing, while others smuggle from o< e * •id* to the other with no care except not to 1 get caught in their smuggling." The correspondent then relates the fol- 1 losing good story that is vouched for : A 1 little girl on the St. Stephen side who be- * longed to the Salvation Army was in the * habit of buying candies and other articles •m the Calais side and taking them to the St. Stephen side without paying duties or asking permission of the customs officials. She lived with a very pious, conscientious 1 woman who remonstrated with her and told . her it was a sin to buy things on the Amer ican side of the river ami smuggle them ' over. The girl said she never knew it i a sin for she never saw- anything in the Hi- j ble against smuggling, but Uie pious woman t said there was and it was this passage of i scripture : “Render unto Cavsar the things t that are Osar's. The girl said: “Well I 1 never thought of that before, but I do now « remember there are two teixors »t our end of the bridge. Mr. Mctiown and Mr. Bixby.

Thi* crown ing triumph of 19th century roadway is an unbroken procession of half buried log*. 1* ep sunken holes, bold projecting rock* snd ledge* and dangerous washout*. The manifold disadvantages to a community whose only outlet is over such a thoroughfare is not easily . numerated and amounts to almost a blight upon it* prospects. Here is a grow ing village surrounded by a large and pros perous farming section whose market is 12 miles hence over this road. <*an it be iented that the Iosh to the community dur ing these years ha* far exceeded what it would have cost to properly repair it? It has been a check to enterprise, retarding coon try growth, dispelling rural delights and minimizing the pleasures of travel. Thi* has be*-n endure.! for over a half a century, and no long as the present obso lete, inequitable and inadequate distribu tion of the burden of road maintenance is displayed, so long will it throw its darken ing shadow over our prospects. District responsibility for its roads ms) suffice where such district is populous, but the question takes on an entirely different aspect when the popula tion is scarce, and good highway mainte nance difficult and costly, and as thi* is the actual condition of the case in the vast majority of districts, it clearly demon strates the impractability of the present law and emphasizes the need of it* reform ation. The art of road repairing has now been of a thorough and enduring character. In sufficient sums of money are appropriated even if judiciously and economically ex pended. and when it is understood that this amount, as the outgrowtii of the system. i« used in the employment of indifferent an I ineffectual labor, further inquiry into tin cause of poor roails would seem unneces sary. Efforts at repairing must cfntempUt* something more than the mere Ailing of a hole which is soon excavated by the next rain, or by the placing of log* across doughs, whose ribs will be found by every wheel lie fore the season is past, or burying rocks am! ledges in gravel only to see them resurrected at the next <lown-|>our. The true art of road repairing comprehend* undoubtedly, well rolled crushed rock after all protuberances and irregularities of tin bed have been removed. This implies the introduction of more costly and elaborate machinery, the first outlay of which would no doubt be a burden upon the tax payer*, but when once secured the progress o goo I road building would go on uninterrup tedly and in a few years we could point with pri le to a system of highways that were a delight to ride over and rejoice in the increased facility of exchange which it afforded.

DID YOU Ever Stop to Think IIow much a very little change may do to make your home cheerful and beautiful? It is well worth some study. Take for in stance the old familiar pictures. How much can be done to beautify them by just changing their old faded and stained mats by nice new ones. These can be secured at Quimby’s Art Rooms at a trifling cost and will do wonders in brightening up the home. If you feel disposed to do more, and make your annual house cleaning as complete as possible why 1 not have a fewof the old dingy ,dust-grimmed frames replaced with new ones?

The art of moulding manufacture has progressed won derfully in recent years and among the va riety of late styles that may be seen at Quimby’s art rooms—the largest assortment -.•ver carried in the Kennebec Valley—are beautiful mouldings which can be made up at wonderfully low prices, and at the sam« time make handsome and stylish frames. Don't go elsewhere to have pictures framed until you see his mouldings and get his prices. Perhaps you think of having a new frame for a family portrait. The flashy frame that you houebt from a glib-tongued agent, and thought whs such a splendid bargain, has begun to show its real quality. Its joints are sprung, it looks old and warped and dingy, and you feel that it was poor economy ever to have invested in such a fraud.

His shoulder is better fl since the recent operation hut he will be fl prevented from doing much for several jfl weeks. fl Monday was the hottest of the days, not fl only according to the thermometer, but fl from uncomfortable feelings as well. On fl account of the Urge amount of atmos- fl pheric moisture the heat was unusually op- i; pressive, and several cases of partial col- {||,: lapse were reported. Tin* mercury climbed fl up to 88 in the shade shortly after 12 M-, fl and remained above 80 all day. At 7 A. fl M. at Togus 80 was the record. During fl the greater part of the day it looked and fl felt as though a thunder shower was imi- m nent, but toward night the sky cleared and fl a cool hreexe sprang up. fl A sad case was reported to a Jocrral fl man Monday. It is that of a little girl, 10 jfl years old, who was taken out of an orphan fl asylum by some people in this town. It is fl alleged that they brutally misuse the child If and inflict upon her most terrible beatings. 1 from the effects of one of which, it is said, fl the chil l wan confined to her bed for over* » week. The gentleman who told the story ® says that he intends to watch these inhs- fl man persons and the next time they abuse B the little girl he will put the matter in the fl hands of the police. It should be said that i|| the little sufferer never complains and that the facts were discovered through her pit- fl eous outcries and her condition after the §j| beatings. jfl Six small boys came around tbe end of fl Stone’s lower coal shells Monday to enjoy fl a game of scrub in the open space in the rear of the Joikrai. building.
