Rival Caiulldutcs for Governor Take Oppottllo Stand lroilbl(oii Huh Not Ilocii AIU)KMlMf guocotMful in llio Stato I)iiiwxtii1m Huvo Lined Vp Willi the "Wot" ami Itrpubli vtuM ExptxuH to Champion "Dry" Side. Bangor, Me., June 29. Bangor' In today filling up with politician In ad vance of what will probably be the moot exciting republican convention In the history of the state. Resub mlKHlon to a popular vote of the fifth amendment to the state constitution, which prohibits the manufacture or Hale of Intoxicating liquor Is the Issue to be decided tomorrow. The rival candidate for the guber natorial nomination have taken oppo Klte Biles on this questlen. William T. Unities of Watorvlllc, declaring for re submission, while his opponent, Bert M. Fernald, Is opposed to such ac tion. Frederick E. Boothby of Port land, is the "dark horse" In the race, and may possibly be given the nomi nation as a compromise. Mr. Fernald has been given the support of all the churches and Sunday schools of the state, and appearances today Indicate his nomination. Tax reform also enters Into the question, but resubmission Is the great and overwhelming Issue. For 50 years Maine has ben try ing to legislate temperance Into Its citizens, but even the more candid of the prohibitionists admit that the attempt has 'been a failure; While many small towns arc "dry." all of the larger cities are as wet as In any licence state, the only difference being that bad liquor is sold under some pretense of secrecy at an exorbitant price. DeiiKNTatM Demand Itewubnilwiloii. The democrats are almost a unit In demanding resubmission of the pro hibition question, and that fact may cause the republican leaders to de cide on an opposite stand In tomor- row's convention. The session will be held In the big auditorium, which will doubtless be crowded with delegates and tpectators. Early In his campaign Mr. Haines declared himself n favor of resubmls . f Ion. Mr. Fernald has declared him self opposed to resubmission. Upon one side or the other are arrayed in dividuals, clubs, societies, newspapers, churches, poltlclans, every Interest and Influence that exists in Maine. The churches and conferences and Sunday schools have passed resolu tions opposing Mr. Fernald' posi tion, likewise the temperance clubs and most of the professional promi nent women prohibitionists has de clared In favor of Mr. Haines. The arguments for and against re submission can be briefly stated. Those who favor resubmission say that In the first place it Is 25 years since the people have had an oppor tunity of expressing themselves upon the subject, and that in that time conditions have changed and views nay also have changed. Many or most of the supporters of the proposition including Mr. Haines himself, say that they are confident that the people would reaffirm their adherence to the principles, thus establishing the law more firmly than ever as a part of Maine's political and moral code, and by taking the question out of politics for a long term of years would make possible and probable a better en forcement of the law. Opponents of resubmission declare that It Is but a device of the enemies of the law to break down the consti tutional barrier that now protects It fiotn constant assaults In the legisla ture, and that the present agitation l.s merely the first step toward license, Inspired by liquor dealers and selfish politicians. A peculiar thing about all this dis cussion Is that It would matter very little which candidate was chosen as governor, so far as the settlement of the question Is concerned. It would require a two-thirds vote of the legis latures to get the question of sus taining or repealing the fifth amend ment before the people, and so the only means of accomplishing the ref erendum Is to elect at least 101 of the 151 members of the house of repre sentatives and 21 of the 31 members of the senate favorable to the project. Mr. Boothby the third candidate, merely observes that It Is the legisla ture that mattes and unmakes laws that the governor Is the executive, and that If elected he would execute all of the laws to the best of his ability.

Trial M arris o Is th Ruls Among Many Pecplet. i Among many" people of the world trial marriages are the accepted cuh- torn. Among the Greeks "marriage In considered only us u temporary con venience, not binding on the parties: more than one year," the consequence being that "n large proportion of the old and middle aged men by frequent changing have had many wives, and their' children, scattered around tho country, are unknown to them." Evi dences of similar practices of experi mental matrimony and connubial vari ety are found among many of the American Indian tribes on both conti nents.. - In parts of Greenland six months Is the trial dead line, husband and wife separating If the "two-hoaris-two-tnlnds" theory develops discord Instead of harmony. Marriage among tho Botovudos, ac cording to Keane, Is of a purely tempo rary nuture, "dissolved on the slightest pretext or without any pretext at all merely through love of change or ca price." "Iii Tusinaiiin" says Dr. Mllligan, "trial marriages result in a succession of wives." In Samoa the wife's tenure of office Is frequently limited to a few days or weeks, and marrluge Is sometimes only an excuse for the feasts and festivals so dear to the hearts of the pleasure loving natives. In the Indian archipelago it Is a com mon practice for formal marriages to be limited, sometimes for only a month nnd at others for a period of several years. Schoolcraft moons IT WAS GENUINE. The William 8hakipeare Signature That Admiral Luce Had. Admiral Luce was In command of the north Atlantic squadron In 1885, and his flagship for a time was an chored In New York bay. where It was visited by many people. One day a party came aboard which included, among others, a very pretty fcirl and n very dignified and learned Englishman. As Admiral Luce was entertaining them In his cabin he asked the pretty girl if she would like to see an original autograph of William Shakespeare. At this the digulflcd and learned Englishman pricked up his ears and remarked that he had made u study of the autographs of Shakespeare and was positive there was no authentic example In America. Admiral Luce re plied that he was very positive his was authentic and that Its genuineness had never been questioned. This made the Britisher quite mad, and he delivered a lecture on the fraudulent autographs and manuscripts that were brought over to America and exhibited as orig inals. "Well." replied tho admiral, "I am convinced that my autograph of Wil liam Shakespeare Is genuine, and I am going to have the pleasure of show ing It to this young lady," whereupon he went to his desk, took out his vis itor's book, turned back a few pages and then polutod out the signature, "William Shakespeare, mayor of New Orleans, Jan. 12, 1885." The English man gave a painful gasp and retired. NEEDED AT 0. 1 G. THOUSANDS OF DOLLAHS MIST UK EXPENDED. Activities Will Ito Enlarged $10,000 Wing Will Ite Adlxi to Agrlcultii ral Hull V ,M. C. A.

In Wales they have It, and see bow Wales always beats all opponents at football! This Is the cheery shout or the Aberystwyth students when their men are engaged in any athletic con test: "nip, hip, hurrah! Hip, hip, bur rah! lllp, hip, hip, hurrah! Boom! Warm! Ishmabi! Ishmobi! Keezle, keezle, wogga, wagga! Kcczlc, kee Ele, wagga, wagga! Ishmabi! Keezle wagga! Boom! Wa! Ita! Tschz!" Now, that Is something like a yell. One can see at a glance that it contains, at any rate, some of the elements which go t6 make up a yell. It would Inspire a caterpillar. A pew opener who bad that shouted In bis ear would sprint out and die for bis country. London Globe. The Birth of Christ. . The exact dale of tho birth Of Christ Is unknown. Among the early churches there was uo agreement as to the date of the Nativity, some celebrating it In April or May, others In January. Dec. 25 can hardly be exact, for It falls In the rainy season of Judea, when shep herds would not have been watching their flocks by night In the open. The December date came Into general ob servance naturally, but gradually. When the heathen races of the north were Christianized they simply substi tuted for their Yule celebration In De cember the observance of the birth of Christ Looking Baokward. A Mississippi official tells of a col ored citizen of that state who gave a justice of the peace a big fat possum as a wedding fee. A year after the Justice on meeting the darky asked: "Joe, how do you like married life?" "Well, sab.," answered Joe ruefully, "all I kin say Is I wish I'd eat dat pos sum." The Best Authority.

The following la a special to the Portland Journal from Corvallls: "Much has been said ami written relutlve to the growth, development and advancement made at the Oregon Agricultural college the past year and the still greater things promised for the coming year, but much remains to be told and even then persons not fa miliar with the plans cannot realize how marked Is the progress. Not only Is there to be an army of new and up-to-the-minute Instructors to take charge of the various departments this fall, but an unusual amount of pro gressive energy Is being displayed by the old professors. Professor Frederick Berchtold, Pro fessor 0."A. Covell, Professor Mc Lauth, Professor Herman Tartar and Professor L. B. Baldwin have already departed for various colleges in the far east and the middle states to spec ialize In their lines during the sum mer. Professor A. B. Cardley and family left yesterday for the east, it belfg the intention of Professor Card- ley to visit all the agricultural col I'ges to familiarize himself with their work. I'rofessor J. B. Horner has gone to California to put in his va cation i if the libraries of Berkeley and Stanford. This activity speaks elo quently of the "up-and-dolng" idea that President Kerr has Infused into the institution since he assumed his position. Work U in progress on the founda tion of the new wing that Is to be add ed to the agricultural building, at a cost of J40.000. The Y. M. C. A. building is llkewi.se undergoing Im provements nnd Is to be finished by the openlng'of college, as Is the agri cultural wins. This week the old blacksmith shop has been vacated and Is being remodeled Into a mining hall, and work is to begin at once on Cau- thorn Hall, which will convert It into a handsome, modern club house. The O. A. C. young men will conduct It on the club plan. Independently. Mr. and Mrs. It. L. Whitehead, who have Inert in charge for years, will retire and an experienced chef from Port land. will look after the club cooking. Many other changes of more or less Importance are contemplated and it Is confidently predicted that next year's enrollment will easily reach 1500. AMF.KICAXITIS." Otherwise "Worry," Is tlie Now li cane WliMi N America's Great1! Curse, Says I'reaelier. "Amcrlcanitls is the great disease of the people of this country," said Rev. W. F. Wakcham of Port Ches ter In a sermon on "The Sin of Wor rying" In the Greenwich Ftrch Metho. dlst Episcopal church Sunday morn ing. "Amerlcanltls," he explained, was the act of worrying over every thing. "In France. Ilcensiousness' is sap ping the life of Its people, In England drunkenness Is working its ruin, and In America worrying Is killing the country," he said. "The housewife preparing courses for the table worries for something new, the lady of fashion worries be cause It is stylish and not becoming. A merchant worries over finances and taks his worries home to bed with him, thereby depriving his family of what pleasure there Is in seeing him. It is worry over this and worry over that continually, and the country is rapidly becoming peevish, fretful and crimes are being committed continu ally by the men and women who worry." Forearmed. A Louisville man who was entering the tobacco business wanted a name for a new brand that he was to ppt on the market. He finally decided on "Anti-Trust," and forwarded it, along with the necessary papers, to the pat ent office at Washington. A few days later he received the following mes sage: "Brand 'Anti-Trust' registered by the American Tobacco Company." Success Magazine.
