His father. Timothy Crosby, was one of the early settlers of Bangor. He purchased the land, which has been known for many years as Crosbyville. running from the water front to the Webster road. Capt.

Jan. 9. “Our llttlo boy, who has suffered for six years with lameness in bis hip, continues to grow worse, although we have applied many kinds of liniments. The family doctor has decided that the boy has hip Joint disease, and he urges us not to meddle with the case, say ing it is best to allow it to take its own course. We feel very anxious about him. I wish we could find something which would effect a cure. I fear it will develop Into a very serious affair." J. W. Moore. March 22. A sore has broken out on the under side of my boy’s •hip. and It has discharged very freely and left an opening about an inch deep, the size of a silver dol lar. He has to be given con stant attention. Our physician tells us to keep the sore run ning. A second sore has ap peared on his groin and broken. The boy is very low. I askea the doctor about giving him Hood’s Sarsap arilla, which has cured so many such cases, but he said he could give him medicine that is four times better and does not cost as much.” J. W. Moore. May 10. “Tha doe i tor's medicine which I hare been giving our boy has not f proved of any t avail. The child continued to grow worse t and I have stopped giving it to him, and now he is tak ing Hood’s Sar saparilla. I got a bottle from the druggist a few days ago and I believe I can see that the boy is im proving under thetreatment” J. W. Moore, Oct. 5. llow glad I am that I ever tried Hood's Sarsaparilla for my boy's hip disease. When he b a d finished taking the first bottle be looked fifty percent better. I continued giving him Hood's Sarsa parilla and now be is quite well. He runs and plays with the other chil dren and we can hardly be lieve he is the same child, thanks to Hood's Sarsa parilla, which we have proved to be i ndeed the One True Blood Puri fier.” J. W. Hooks. Pages like those «bove are penned in the personal records of thousands of people. In the. memories of many more the success of Hood’s Sarsapa rilla is indelibly imprinted. The cures by Hood’s Sarsaparilla are literally written in blood in blood made pure, enriched and vitalized, cured of scrofulous taints, salt rheum, boils, pimples, spring humors in blood which properly builds up the nerves, strengthens the stomach and gives that tonic to the system so imperatively needed in the Spring.

Large Pari of His Booty alto Recovered Story of Arrest. Montreal. April 20.—A dispatch from Chief Detective Carpenter from St. Polyearpe, authorizes the secretary of tlie detective department to make an official announcement that Kelley has confessed to living the sole murderer of Mr. Stickney. Chief Carpenter adds that the valise containing $4500 was not found in a liarn as first stated, but in a culvert near the St. Polyearpe milway station. KELLEY’S CONFESSION Sayt He Murdered Cuhier ttickney, Being Recognized at Tima of Robbery. Boston. April 20.—A special to the Jour nal from Montreal' says that Joseph K. Kelley confessed, this morning. Chief Carpenter and Detective Cole were present. It appears that, this morning, while •talking with Cole, he said in a sort of questioning manner, that he thought it would be best f>»r him -to tell all he knew, and asked to see Chief Carpenter. When •the latter came„to see him. he told the chief thia't it wa» n«o use hiding anything, that the jig was up. and that the best thing he could do was to take his medi cine like a man and own up to every thing. His confession then was to the effect that he did muitler Sliekney ami robbed the bank all by himself. He vehemently insisted that he lmd no intention what ever of killing the cashier, but that he had to do it heOause the old gentleman recognized him. He really thought that he had killed him with the blows on the head, but when *he threatened to regain consciousness #he cut him with the knife. These were not bis precise words, but his confession was to this effect, as far as the central office men could tell it. Kelley’s story, w'hen the Journal corre spondent interviewed him. last night, in his cell, was to the effect that he had l>een hiding all this time in various places -around the country. Finally he got to St. Joseph de Newton, about 30 miles from Montreal. Here he became ac quainted with a woman, with wnom he became very friendly. From her he borrow**! a complete set of woman’s clothes, and dressed in this, be took the train for Montreal, being sick and tired of roaming around. His money, which had dwindled down to $2700, he car ried with 'him 4iva black bag. i When he arrived at Montreal Junction he did not know exactly what to do. but. as fate would have it. the late Boston express was standing there, and he im mediately slipped aboard and came to Montreal, arriving at 9 P. M. Here lie took a cab. and drifted and drove from saloon to saloon, from fast house to fast house. Finally he came to the celebrated resort of Aggie Ashton and there he “blew” nil the money mortal could blow in wine for about three hours. For a while the women thought that they had an American dignitary In dis guise. and then, subsequently it dawned upon the mistress that he looked a great deal like the man who Detective Carpen ter had told her was the murderer, so she quietly went and telephoned to the Cen (Continued on page 2.)

State vs. McColly. This case was con cluded at noon with a verdict of guilty, ttie jury being out albout an hour and a half. The respondent took the stand and admitted that he had passed through Fayette on the afternoon in question, but denied all knowledge of .the crime charged. In the afternoon the ease of State vs. Walter .Maddocks was taken up before the Jury, S. 8. Brown appearing for the respondent, who Is Indicted for an as sault and battery upon Albert Hodges In Benton, on the 8th of February last. Mrs. Hodges, the wife of the man al leged to have been assaulted, testified that she lived In Winslow, and 'that on the afternoon of Feb. 8 her husband was at his stable door when the respondent and Sidney Fuller passed the place with a team, and she heard Fuller say. “Drive up this way.” They were then going by the stable toward Benton. A little fur ther on he repeated the words and mo tioned with his hand, but sbe did not hear her husband make any reply. Her husband very soon drove out of the sta ble. going toward Benton, the direction the respondent had taken. He had been gone perhaps five minutes when he re turned. In the meantime she had heard an outcry from up the road and she ran out Into the roud and saw her husband and Fuller and Maddocks all In road. 30 or 40 rods away. It might have been a minute after that that Mr. Hodges re turned to the house and drove to the sta ble. where she went and assisted him In readjusting the breeching of the harness on the horse, which had been broken. After that he again started for Waler vllle. and took with him some flies for I.orlng James, who ran a saw mill In Benton, going over the same road that he had Started on In the first place. He appeared to be suffering very badly and said his arm was broken. His arm was badly bruised anti the skin Was broken. He then went away and witness did not see him again until after candlelight. He then had a very bad cut on his ilp and his arm was In a sling and bandaged from the elbow nearly to the wrist, and his arm above was bruised and very bad ly swollen to the shoulder Joint. He had his clothes on. the next day. and for three weeks. Since that, for two weeks or more his death was expected, but he was now Improving. On cross examination the witness testi fied that though her husband had been able for a few days post to do the chore* about the place, yet he was not well enough to come to court; that Maddocks and Fuller when they passed had a load of logs on a sled. Luring S. James, called by the govern ment. testified that he was at his saw’ mill on the afternoon in question when he saw a spun of horses coming along the road alone, and in five minutes Sid ney Fuller came along, and in a few min utes the respondent Maddocks came. In about 20 minutes Mr. Hodges came along in a sleigh. Maddocks came on foot ami had nothing in his hand; Fuller had no shovel. Fuller passed the mill but soon returned with his horses. Maddocks stopped at the mill perhaps a minute and went on to assist Fuller with the horses. When 'Hodges came up. Fuller was on his sled perhaps a rod away and Maddocks nctar by. Before Hodges came up Mad docks had said tha't Hodges had chased turn with a stake and had made some re marks about Mr. Fuller’s wife. He said nothing about having hit Hodges with a shovel. The first thing I remember of Hodges saying when he came up was to ask if he had a right to travel the road, and I told him he had. I think the next question he asked was if I would get into the sleigh with him and see him by. He Jaid: "They have attacked me and I think they have broken my arm.” Ful ler and Maddocks w’ere then only a few rods away. Think he said they struck mm with a shovel and he thought they had broken his arm. 1 got into tin* sleigh. The next that Hodges said was to abuse Maddocks and call him names. He said: ‘‘Don’t you speak to me, you nasty, dirty cur. you son of a b-h,” and fol lowed it up with such names until w’e passed the mill. Maddocks said that Hodges could go by. Did not understand him to say anything while Hodges was making his abusive talk. Hodges had given me two files which he had bought for me. We rode in the sleigh up to where Maddocks w*as standing by the side of the road, and went past him. The first intimation I had of anything wrong. Hodges seemed to settle down into his sleigh and made some kind of an excla mation. cried out. and the horse started and I Jumped out. I followed up the sleigh about a rod when Hodges turned his face and I saw* his lip was cut and blood was running. He asked me if I saw that. I did not see Maddocks until after Hodges had lurched onto me. I supposed that Maddocks had given the blow and asked to see his fist to see If It was cut or Injured, and I saw* a slight cut between the two lower joints of the thumb, and he said he presumed it w’as cut on a tooth. On cross examination he testified that bis mill is about half a mile from Hodges’ place. Hodges began to make a loud noise before he got to the mill,and he was calling Maddocks names. He was a good deal excited. He asked me if he had a right to the road and requested my pro tection. Maddocks said: “Yes. Mr. Hodges, you can go by. we W’ont meddle with you if you do not Interfere with us.” Don’t think Maddocks spoke in an in sulting manner. When Maddocks said that. Hodges told him not to speak to him. and he then used the epithets I have stated. He kept that up until he got by, and 1 think he repeated them several times. At the time Hodges settled back onto me I was watching how we were getting past the Fuller team. Hodges [landed me the files just before I stepped into the sleigh. Joseph Nadeau, called by the govern ment, testified that he was at the James mill on the afternoon of Feb. 8, at work in the mill yard by the side of the road, and saw the horses and the parties as they came along. Haddocks had a shovel on his shoulder as he came up the road. He spoke of no trouble that he had had us he came up. The first that Hodges said when he came along was to ask if he had a right to go by, and James said yes, and at the same time Maddocks said the same. "Of course, Mr. Hodges, you have." Then Hodges asked for protection past the mill, asked Mr. James to get Into the sleigh with him to protect him by the mill. After he got into the sleigh they went along and Hodges was talking. When Maddocks said that Hodges could go along by. Hodges says: “Don't you speak to me. you little cur. you G-d d-d son oi a b-h," and they started along and Hodges kept talking pretty loud and railing names. Maddocks slid: "If he don't shut his mouth I am going, to knock his d-d old head oft." .And then he pulled off a pair of gloves and started and crossed the road onto Hodge*' side of the sleigh. The sleigh was then about 2 rods ahead of him. He hurried along and overtook the sleigh and hit Hodges, in the face I guess, and Hodges kind of settled down some and leaned over on James. James got right out of the sleigh. Hodges had no blood on his face when he came up. but It was bloody after he received the blow. After he was struck he said: “O. dear, see what he has done." James came along after that and wanted to see Maddocks' fists. He said: “It must have hurt your list pretty bad," (Continued on page 2.)

The Great Conflict li Expected to Taka Place Near Larina. (Copy rightc d 1897 by The Associated Press.) Summit of The Milouna Pass, Mon day morning. April 19.—The Turkish victory of Sunday in the Milouna Pass was complete. The enemy retired to the plain of Thessaly, leaving only a rear guard on a hill, from which it was driven later by four battalions of Turkish infantry. The Turks pulled up to the top of the hill three mountain batteries, singing, laughing and weeping with joy like children. One battery opened Are upon the Greeks, who were retreating on the plain of Traces, and did terrible execu tion. The correspondent of The Asso ciated Press saw some of the Turkish shells burst in the middle of a serried liattalion of Greeks, with the result that whole groups were killed cr wounded. Sunday evening, seven new Turkish battalions and several mounted bat teries of artillery left for the front and at dawn the latter were trained on the Greek blockhouse on the plains below. Junes Effendi, the Turkish com mar.der, and his men had been 26 hours without food or drink. When they were preparing to capture the Greek block house, Junes said to his soldiers: "All those who lave God must advance to the assault.'’ This was enough. Every man,-with loud exultant shouts, daehed forward in the direction of the blockhouse. Even the muleteers who were bringing up the reserve ammunition, joined in the assault on the blockhouse, which was held by the Greeks, with magni.i cent courage. The Turks, with splendid dash, charged with the bayonet and eventually It aped over the rampart! with *diout3 of triumph. The Greek? waited urtil the Turks were within 31 yards before withdrawing. I.n. this as sault, the Turks had only 16 men killed and 17 wounded. Everywhere was to Ire seen the effecl of fhe Turkish artillery. Their terrible shells burst Just at the calculated mo ment. The Gieeks, on the other hand, appeared to be lacking in artillery. As the correspondent is writing this dispatch, the Greeks attempted to re ply to the Turkish artillery: but, they were eventually forced to retire. The correspondent saw numberless Greek bodies stripped of their uniforms by the Turks, leaving on only their shirts ar.d drawers. Most of the dead, however, were carried oft by the Turks, who raised the corpses of the Greeks reverently and placed them beneath the shade of trees. The Turkish losses in the fighting of yesterday were only 50 killed and 150 wounded. _ CITIZENS VOLUNTEER To Protect Athens and Other Greek Town*— Ladles Doing Hospital Work. Athens, April 20.—6 P.

I had tried all kinds of 'medicine but without finding any which gave me re lief. My joints were attended with a ",reat deal of soreness. My stomach was badly affected; I had strong symp toms of sciatica. The rheumatic pain combined with neuralgia made life a burden. My muscles contracted and I became alarmed about my condition. Last spring I saw your medicine ad vertised and concluded to try it. After taking three bottles all pain left me and my Joints and muscles began to straighten. My stomach grew rapidly better and as I continued taking the medicine the neuralgia in my head en tirely left me. I am 68 years old and have not been so free from rheumatic pains for 40 years as I am at present. I have taken 10 bottles and feel that it has done wonders for me.

I understood Maddocks to say right after he struck him: "I might just as well pay as a J100."

LOuls LeBranch, filled by the govern ment, testified: Live In Winslow and was at James' mill In Benton, at the time of the assault. Saw all the parties come up. Hodges came In a team 5 or 10 minutes after Maddocks came. Maddocks did not appear excited.' Hodges asked Mr. James for a right to go by. Did not know then there had been any trouble between them. Maddocks j said he had no objections to his going by. He says: "You can go by, Mr. Hodges. nobody is going to trouble you. The road j Is all clear.” Hodges says: "I don't want you to speak to me you dirty cuss; 1 don't you to speak to me at all." That was the j first I knew there had been any trouble j between them. James got into the sleigh and he drove along.but Hodges kept sing-. ing out right along. Did not hear Mad docks say anything. Did not hear him say he was going to knock the old man's head off. But after Hodges had got by a little piece I saw Maddocks start for him. j Hodges was talking all the time. He caught up pretty quick after he started and struck Hodges. I suppose in the face.

I On cross examination he testified tnai Hodges railed Maddoeks a son of a b-h and kept it up until he was hit. Albert L. Plummer, residing in Benton, testified that he was at the mill on the afternoon of the affair and saw the team when it came up. and also Fuller. Did not see Maddoeks come. but saw film soon after. Did not see Maddoeks have anything in hi-s hand. Saw no rfhovel there. Heard Hodges ask James to come to him. and he went. Then Hodges said: “I want to know if you will protect me by your mill. I have been pounded over the head with a shovel, and I think I have a right to travel the high way unmolested.” Did not 'hear Mad docks say anything at that time. James got Into the Sleigh and they started down by the mill. While tlhey wore passing by •the mill brow there was loud and vigor ous language used by more than one of the men. I could recognize Hodges by his voice. I could not recognize the voice of the other and don’t know who it was. I paid no attention to what was said until they came directly in from of me. I then heard Hodges say: “I don’t want you to speak to me.” and I think 'he repeated it. About that time Maddoeks was following along after t'he sleigh, and as soon as •there was a chance for him to get a foot ing 'by 'the side of the sleigh, he ran around the corner of it and hit Hodges in the face. I did not pay much attention •to the language used there. There were oaths bandied back and forth. I did not hear Hodges call Maddoeks n son of a b-h. As Maddoeks left the sleigh after the blow, he said in substance that if he didn’t do differently he would repeat it. M. S. Goodrich, called by the govern ment. testified that he was a practicing physician in Waterville and that about A o’clock on the afternoon of Feb. 8, Al bert Hodges came to his office and was •treated. He had a cut from near the i Tight side of the nose to the bottom of the Mp, about of an inch in length, 1 portion of the distance being cut through into .the mouth so that the tongue could be protruded -through it. a clean cut without any bruising, and as though done with a sharp instrument. In his opinion it could not have been made with a fist. To close it four stitches were required on the outside and two on the inside. Ex •tmined his teeth and they were not in- jured in any way and the gums did not appear to be injured. He appeared be wildered. which would indicate that he had been severely injured about the hctid. There was nothing about the wound in the Up to cause that dazed condition. Examined also his arm 'and shoulder and found his arm broken, which I treated. ^The testimony as to the broken arm was objected to by counsel for the re spondent on the ground that it was an injury inflicted at another time and for Which an indictment was already pend ing; hut it was admitted for the purpose of showing the condition Hodges was in when It is alleged he was struck in the face hy Maddoeks. The witness testified as to the condi tion of the shoulder and arm. and that ho visited the patient frequently for the first two weeks, and he seemed to im prove; but after that became delirious •and -- as the results were a i w0h, -,Varvelous 'n the case of my wife ^as P®s^or of the Baptist churct wtia ves Junc'i,on, she was brought dowr TcrriM|meumonia succeeding la grippe houns vvi?hOXii?»?s °f couShing WOidd ?as seemed Lule Interruption and ii A SESJf she C0U,e led from pluco to place.

Tuesday, by John Redmond. I the Parnellite leader. The meeting was private. A resolution was adopted pro viding for the foundation of an Indepen dent !ri#h League, hn which the agrarian interests are not to be dominant and which will he founded upon “the broader and sounder basis of independent politi cal uetion for the benefit of the whole Irish nation.” Secondly, "the object (it the league will be civil and religious liberty and no fur ther interference of priests in politics.” Thirdly, “absolute independence of al liance with an English party and revert ing to the old demand for co-ordinate Parliaments, the principle of federalism in 'Mr. Gladstone’s home rule proposals.” and Fourthly, ‘'manhood suffrage, which will give the Parnellites a political ma jority in Ireland.” The league will also urge the immedi ate redress of Ireland’s financial griev ances. amnesty for all political prisoner*, land law reform, and the development and encouragement of labor and the in dustrial resources of the country, etc. A temporary executive committee was elect ed to draft the plan of organisation and to hold office until the Parnellite conven tion meets again in October. Mr. Redmond opened the conference with a dispassionate speech showing that the present condition of the party needs vigorous reorganization. Further, Mr. Redmond announced his readiness to re sign the chairmanship of the party, or. if they preferred, to remain, as all pres ent wew? invited to indulge in fhe freest expression of opinion. Timothy Harrington immediately ros and objected absolutely to the forma tion of the new league. Many speakers followed, but they were mostly In faver of Redmond’s proposition, and Harring ton’s amendment was defeated by a vote of 230 to 22. Harrington then left the hall with his supporters. Later. Mr. Redmond explained that he had no idea that the party’s members of Parliament should control the league. In an interview with a representative of The Associated Press, after the meet ing. Mr. Harrington said ne could not indicate his future course until the country had spoken. He added “there was nothing the old league could have don for Mr. Redmond except giving him the support of the Devoy section in America, which,” Mr. Harnington added, “could if they chose, finance the new league.” There was a fair attendance at the pub lic meeting which followed the privat** conference and the proceedings wer marked by considerable enthusiasm. Mr. Redmond explained that the nor/ movement appealed to Irishmen at home and in. America for support. SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

April JO.—On good' authority /he Associated Press Is Informed that the war between Greece and Turkey will not affect the situation In Crete. The Powers having guaranteed the safety o: the Mussulmun population there, will con tinue their efforts to pacify the Island and endow It with autonomy. The officials of the Turkish embassy here, believe from the the working of Edhem Pasha’s dispatches to the Turkish goyerpment. that the Greeks will make no great stand until the Turks reach Larissa, where the main battle. It Is thought, will be fought. This seems prob able as Prince Constantine, the Greek commander-in-chief, has left Tyrnavo for Larissa. Several British officers, both on the ac tive list and belonging to the reserves, have offered their services at the Terk Ish embassy, one of them volunteering to equip 30 men for service against the Greeks and to bear all the expense of taking them to the frontier. The offlcla's of the embassy have referred all such of fers to the government ut Constantlno.de. STRONGLY ENTRENCHED Greek* Occupy Villain Ntar Ba*i and Knp Turk* from Crossing Rivar.

Editors Kennebec Journal: The article in Saturday’s Journal In regard to a railroad from Farmington to Augusta very much interests the citizens of this and adjoining towns Starting from Augusta it would prob ably pars through Manchester. East Winthrop, Baileyville, Winthrep, North Wayne. Kent’s Hill and nothin cne mile of Fayette; thence to West Mt. Vernon, Mt. Vernon, Vienna. New Sharen, Farmington Falls to Farming ton ar.-d there connect with the Farm ington and Phillips road. These towns have good water powers that are now utilized, hut net to their fullest capacity, omaccount of the dls-j tar.ee from the railcoad and the dlflt-, cully in transportation. Now where is there a better outlook for a railroad in) this State than this? The 12 villager it would pars through with its 15 water powers would make it a paylrg invest ment from the start, besides giving Augusta such a boom as she has not

hikd for years, as all the towns in this section instead ct going to Lpwleton to do their -shopping:, etc., would take the shorter route to Augusta. Would it not be better for the towns and citizens along this route to assist In building this road than to put their money In shoe factories or some such business that might run for a few years and then close up on account of strikes or hard times, as they have done In so many places before? If the people along the road want it let them put a “shoulder to the wheel," and life and keep lifting and it must go. Let all who are interested agitate it and soon we Shall hear the welcome sound of the whistle through these towns. Let us hear from others now. and if we all take hold it Is sure to go. W. M. TAYLOR.

Recognizing and conforming to a long established custom, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, I do hereby designate and appoint THURS DAY, the twenty-second day of April next, to be observed by all the people of our State as a day of FASTING AND PRAYER. This ancient custom comes to us con secrated bv the observance of our fathers for many generations. In deference to it as a hallowed memory of the past, I earnestly recommend that all good citi zens should that day abstain from their usual vocations, and 'having assembled in their churches and around their firesides, reverently approach the presence of Him who guides, governs and controls the destinies of all nations, asking that peace, plenty, prosperity and happiness may continue throughout our borders.

LLEWELLYN POWERS. Bj the Governor, BYRON BOYD, Secretary of State. STATE OF MAINE. ARBOR DAY. A PROCLAMATION. By the Governor. The statutes of our State wisely declare that the Governor shall annually set apart a day in the spring as Arbor Day, for the planting of trees, shrubs and vines. Shade trees and shrubs add much to the beauty of our cities and villages and t? the comfort and elegance of our homes. To the end that their planting should be encouraged by concentrated action, this day has been established. I therefore appoint Monday, the tenth day of May next, to be observed as Arbor Day, and I recommend that all the people of our Slate show a commendable zeal In pro moting the objects for w'hich this day is designed, by devoting the lime to plant ing ornamental trees and shrubs along their streets, in public parks and other places and around their home3. GIVEN at the Executive Chamber, in Augusta, this thirty-first day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and twenty-first. LLEWELLYN TOWERS. By the Governor, BYRON BOYD, Secretary of State. The general impression seems to be that Kelley is a strange mixture of the fool and the fiend. When considering the list of awful murders in New Hampshire in later years one is reminded that capital punishment is still in force there. Very kind of the Democratic senators to dictate the way in which the RepubS Hearts may organize that body and then assume to hold the Republican respon tible for it. The Greek officer who shot himself rather than fall into the hands of the Turks showed what he thought of the barbarians now receiving the indirect support of Christian Europe. The estimates of the alarming de crease of white pine timber in this country and Canada seem to demon strate the wisdom of those who have planted some of their acres with the w hite pine cone. The Greek long distance running record made over the road from Mara thon to Athens was l>eaten in Massa chusetts Monday. But Greece is too much occupied with sterner feats to mind that little defeat of 10 seconds. Mr Bailey in Action and in Repoie. Mr. Bailey of Texas in action and Mr. Bailey of Texas in repose appear to be widely different men. The tempestuous temper of the Southerner and the im pulsiveness of youth are noticeable in Mr. Bailey when he is in action. This was illustrated on one of the days la«t week when the House got together, as R docs once in three days. Mr. Bailey was evidently perturbed and before he bad seated himself after rising a ques tion of privilege R was apparent why his feelings were disturbed. A Wash ington paper had dared to say that the leadership of Mr. Bailey was really the leadership of Mr. Reed and that the Democrats would have done as well to choose Mr. Rccd for their leader as to have taken a middle man. This state ment Mr. Bailey declared “an infamous lie,” adding, "I denounce every man who has helped to circulate if as an in famous and malicious liar.” Those words are fighting words down Texas way and would probably b? so considered in: Washington did any one care to pick them up. Thus it may be inferred that Mr. Bailey in action is a quite lively individual but considering his youth ar.d the fact that enemies of his own party lie in wait to trip him at every turn he has managed to control himself remarkably well with the ex ception cf the silly dress suit episode, which may be attributed to his youth fulness. But Mr. Bailey in repose is more of an agitator of the Democrats than Mr. Bailey in action could he of the Republicans. The Populists and Bryanites desire to make the most of the opportunity to “bait” the speaker into organizing committees, if possible, in order that legislation other than that relating to the tariff may be un dertaken at this session. Mr. Bailey for reasons, some of which are obvious, does net fall in vvtth this idea anj fiercely resents any imputation of dis loyalty for pursuing that course. It is not surprising, however, if Mr. Reed's sympathies are with Mr. Bailey rather than with the wing of the party repre senting the Bryanites, cr more exactly the fusion: of Democrats and Populists headed by Mr. McMiliin. Mr. Bailey, though a silver man, does not believe ir. ihe fusion cf Democrats and Populists nor in Mr. Bryan and the latter’s methods. He is not unaware of the way in which Speaker Reed used, occa sionally, to "step” upon Mr. Bryan in the House with much the same result that accompanies the stepping of an elephant upon a louse, to quote from the words of a congressman, ar.d natur ally he does not care to experience a similar fate. It is evident that Mr. Bailey is endeavoring to avoid the flamboyant style of Mr. Bryan and this doubtless strengthens his purpose to pursue the conservative course on the pretext that it is not the part of the Democrats to force the Republican party to enact objectionable legislation any sooner than it has a mind to. The excuse is a feeble one but the best available for satisfying the rank and file that would like to see a wordy fight waged in the House just now. More over Mr. Bailey has shown his ability to hold the party to that coarse for the other day, when there, were signs of rebellion and a disposition on the part of some of the Democrats to go to the aid of Jerry Simpson in his attack upon the speaker, he called a caucus and the Bailey men voted down the malcon tents without ceremony. This sort of thing is weakening the courage of the Popocrats. Some of the prominent Bryanltes are alarmed hut they appear to he unable to do any thing. Now while at first thought it might seem that Speaker Reed is hos tile to the efforts of Mr. Bailey to retain the identity of the Democratic party it may he that he is not. Anyhow he adopts the logical course in refusing to recognize the Populists as separate from the Bryanite organization. This is very annoying to those Populists in the House who would like more prom inent places on committees than will he likely to fall to them as Democrats and of course they wish the speaker to recognize them as belonging to a pai ty distinct from that with which they voted last fall. There are various factors at work which render Mr. Bailey in repose a more influential leader than he would he in action. The National Society ot Greece. There is ample work ahead for the national society of Greece, “Ethmike Hetaiva." Up to the time of actual hostilities it was bending all its energies to fomenting the strife in which Turkey and Greece are now engaged. Its en ergies for the present, evidently, are r.ot needed to impart enthusiasm to the Greeks or to excite animosity toward the Moslem. If the war ccnittpues, hcwever, there will be flagging courage to be stimulated, patriotic sacrifices to be made and devotion to Ire sustained. The guerrilla expeditions before war was declared were brought about by this organization. It is said to have about three fhillion dollars deposited at Alexandria and it ill doubtless need those resources before the present con flict is at an end. This society is an outgrowth of the Ethnike Tetairia, which was organized at the close of the eighteenth century and was reorgan ized previous to 1821, when Greece made its first attempt to lift the Turkish j oke from its shoulders, and since then it has been in service continually. In anticipation' of the present outbreak, laud under the praiseworthy leadership of President Dikela, well known as the originator of the Olympian games, It was re-enforced on all sides, and has grown tremendously. During a series of revolutions and more than a century of existence it has wra.thfully observed the treatment of Us kinsfolk by Tui key. and when Greece apparently was peacefully resting, the society was planning revolutions and keeping up the enthusiasm tf the people. Trust worthy explanations show that the present crisis was a premature con summation of the society s plana. Speaking of It the other day Consul Tlmayenls said: "The public in general in this country does not appreciate the real significance of the war. It is an earnest battle for the liberation, of Christian people from tryanny, and not a selfish effort to acquire territory, and it will be a war of extermination before the cause Is lost." The Board of Regents of the Kansas State University have dismissed all of the instructors on the ground that their teachings were at variance with the policy of the state administration. This is what may possibly happen to any educational institution dependent upon political support. The more radical the political views in the community th? greater the danger. Those states wherr Populism is strongest are very likely to suffer from such folly, for that party fairly revels in the idea that legislation can accomplish anything. Fortunately there is no surer way nowadays for an educational institution to lose its power and popularity than to Ire rightfully suspected of teaching, not what has been accepted as the truth according to educational standards but what has been decreed to be truth by a lot of political theorists in control.

Bangor Commercial: In the Boston Transcript of Saturday was published an Interesting article of two columns in length giving a history of that old war ship the Constitution, or. as she has more familiarly been known "old Ironsides." To this account Col. J. W. Porter of this city adds an interesting note, published In the edition of that paper for Wednesday as follows: "You might add to your account In the Tran script of April 10, the following: Her three masts were cut in the town ..of Malta, now Windsor, on the north rid of the Augusta road between Cooper's Mills and Bryant's Corner. Thomas Coc-per of Newcastle, and one Gray cut the trees, swamped a road to Puddl dock in Aina in the winter of 1798-97 and hauled them into the Shecpscot river and in the spring took them to Wiscasset. where the government agents yoked them at both ends with pieces of white oak. 5x8. slipped through mortices In the trees and then tewed them to Boston.” There arc few matters concerning the local his tory of Maine to which Col.

In its report of the proceedings of the Methodist Conference when the subject of Hon. Frank Jones’ connection with the board of trustees of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary was under discus sion the Pci Hand Press says: "Rev. Dr. C. W. Gallagher, president of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Female College asked for the privilege of ad dressing the conference which was granted. He said he had been con nected with the school for four years, during which time he had worked hard and coneientlously for its best interests and had grown to love it. Three years of this the country had been passing through a period of great financial de pression and the school was meeting its expenses by its income. Dr. Gallagher said he must confess to feeling his posi tion as principal of Kent's Hill as on-: c- great embarrassment under the present conditions. He said that he could Justify his action in speaking as he did because he had already placed his resignation as president of Kent’s Hi 111 ini the hands of Mr. Locke, the president of the board of trustees. While he entertained the highest re rpect for Mr. Jones as a man he could not close his eyes to the business he was engaged in and for this reason and on account of the embarrassment of the position with Mr. Jones a member of the board of trustees. Dr. Gallagher said that he felt called upon to resign. He said he had no doubt that the trus tees in electing Mr. Jones to the beard had believed they were acting for the best interests of the school. He en tertained the highest opinion of all the members of the Igjard of trustees and his relations with them had always been cordial.

Annual Convention of the Grand Commandery of Maine. Special Work, Last Evening-Business, To day-Sketch of Officers. GjtiD Cl THE Grand Com mandery of Mahno, U. O, G. C., contains some representative Maine men and women, as one could readily see at a glance, as they were gathered together, last evening, some 125 representatives from different parts of the State, In City hall. It was a pleasant gathering, and a forerunner of an enjoyable meet ing, today. They came in, yesterday, on the morn ing train® and on the afternoon trains, and by evening, had taken possession of pretty much everything. The day being fine, they spent the hours until the evening session visiting the various points of interest about the city. There was secret work on the pro gramme, last evening. None but mem bers of the order were admitted. The degree team of Hallawell Commandery, No. 317, in charge of Asa Libby, de gree master, exemplified special work, and many were the compliments heard cf the excellent manner in which it per formed the degrees. The team con sisted of 16 persons. The representatives who have arrived in the city have made their head quarters at Hotel North. Today, the grand commandery will held its business session, morning''and afternoon, *fth a public Installation in the^ evening Jjx. Sqpfeme' fej.mrnapd.er A. S.

The election of officers will take place in the afternoon. The fact that the convention is being held in Augusta, the home of the su pttfme cqmniatuler, adds great interest SUPREME COMMANDER A. S. BANGS. to the meeting, for Col. Bangs is a popular and influential worker for the f rder. His steady advancement in the order bears evidence of this. Prominent in the work of the State commandcry his ability soon became recognized. lie was sent to represent its interests in the supreme lodge. He was later elected to the position of chairman of .the board of trustees, of the supreme tommandery, ar.d two years ago this present spring he was elected supreme commander. His many friends in the order and in this city where he is so well known as a ciitizeri cf enterprise and prominence, will trust that another term awaits him. He is at present the chairman of the board of registration and is identified with the Augusta Board of Trade, having served aS presi dent. He is of a genial disposition and is a good raconteur, having at h/ia com mand many stories of interest gathered on his extended travels for the order all over the country. He has lieen strongly identified in the work of the Good Templars, having held the highest positions in that order. He is also a Mascn.

Horacet Mitchell, who was the first G. C. Dr. S. J. Bassford was the first G. K.

There are at presen t 135 command cries In Maine with a total of 6600 mem bers. Three hundred have been taken in since January 1, 1897. There are 700 commanlerks in tkei United States, with a total membership of 35,000. The workers connected with the grand commandery in its early years met and overcome many obstacles and there has been no session of that body since in which a gain has nc.t been reg istered until at the last session, 6000 members In round numbers were re pented. There are few of the assess ment orders In the State which can showr as good a record, fc,r Maine is a I>eculiar State and if. after a few years' trial, an order's promises are not faith fully kept, the fact Is made apparent by a diminished membership. Mr. Mitchell, who has been the G. K. R. continuously since Dr. Bassford, declined to serve longer. He has been favored politically by the people of York county, having been twice sent as a representative to the Legislature from the lively town of Kittery, in 1891 and ’93. In 1895 he was senator from York. He is very popular and well known throughout the State. He Is of an especially jovial temperament. He is the proprietor of the well known Champernown? hotel. One of his recent positions of re sponsibility was that of one of a com mittee appointed by Governor Cleaves, last summer, to examine the State treasurer's accounts as provided by law. Mr. Mitchell is a prominent Ma son ar.d is a member of the grand lodge, on. which he has held a number of important positions during the past several years. The present grand commander. Frank H. Dexter. well Cknown all over the State In newspaper circles as the able editor of the Springvale Advocate, has "lira tvwr**' GRAND COMMANDER FOR MAINE FRANK H. DEXTER. had a fine record in. the order, and is as highly respected in.-it, as he ia r:r sonally popular, which is saying a great deal. He has been in the order tor 10 years, during which time he has held many important positions, amongst others having been a repre sentative to the supreme commando ry. He has been grand commander for three years, having proved one of the airiest the order has ever had. He is a prominent temperance work er, and has held the high office of grand chief templar of the Good Templars. He is also a prominent Mason. He is about 36 years of age. Mrs. Lucy B. Leighton, the grand vice commander, for the past year is widely known all over the State in U. O. G. C. circles as one of the most en terprising workers in the order. She is a charming woman, and is liked by a!! who meet her. The other Officers of the grand com mandery of Maine are: Grand prelate. Mrs. W. H. Royal. Lewis ten: grand treasurer. Dr. C. P.

The Industrial Journal of April 16, had the following communication from Hon. P. O. Vickery, president of the Maine Sportsmen's Association: j The following Is an extract fr m your I Rangeli y correspondent hi your last week's Issue. The "Guides' Bill,” no I called seems to have struck some so called sportsmen In the face. I “Now thHt the Guides' Bill has become a law the guides, most of them, are be ginning to settle down to the Idea that the best way to do Is to take out a license and abide by the seeming obnox 1 lous law so far as they can. Tne effect that It will have on the Influx of sports men the coming year can not be known until the c.ose of the season. One party cf seven from Massachusetts have de cided not to come. They say they have always abided by the game laws to the fullest extent and they do not want their guide to be obliged to report uil thj transactions that occur while In camp." Any sportsmen who ure not willing to huve a report made of the flsh they catch. and game they kill ure not welcome In Maine. Their room is better than their company. The increase of sportsmen coming to Maine Is very large, and If the Guides' Bill has the effect of wpedlnt out those sportsmen (?l who come to Maine with a l!y-rod to kill moose, caribou and deer In September, a great advance in protecting our game will be the result. We have tisli and game In plenty, and It will continue so. if we can suppress lawlessness. "The Guides' Bill” Is worth more in enforcing our game laws than would be an upprjprlatlon of 120,000 for warden service. No honest guide will ob ject to the Guides' Bill, nor will any Honest sportsmen object to It. What dl“ honest guides and sportsmen think of It those having the responsibility of enforc ing the game and tlsh laws, do not care. The Illegal killing of game around the Rangeley lakes In September has become a fact which no one can deny. A friend of mine two years ago went around two ot these lukes. and he said you could not go fur without seeing the decayed ear cess of a deer. The Ouides' Bill Is a bulwark of strength to an honest guide. If he is guiding a sportsman In September on a fishing tilp. and the sportsman 83 No. 36 Shop Girls of Neir York, The Charles E.

John Pinkham, the 3V6-years-oid eon of Arthur S. Pinkham, narrowly escaped injuries which might have caused his death, yesterday afternoon. While running across Water street, near Fuller’s grocery store, he was f struck on the forehead with the fore foot of a horse, and was knocked down. The driver of the team, El. A. Qetchell, Ireiw up the animal as sharply as pos sible, but when the carriage stopped, the boy was directly underneath It. How he escaped being struck. If noL literally stepped on by the hind feet of the animal is hard to explain. The little fellow was picked up by 'Srnest Hewitt, a driver toy Hill Lajcke, and taken to Morrill’s barber hop, where he was examined by physicians, and it was found that he .vas uninjured with the exception of a bad cut on the forehead, and a blow on .he nose, the former. It is thought, ro •eived from the horse's hoof. The horse was l>elng driven very noderately, and no blame is attached to Mr. Getchell. as the boy was seen to •un directly in the horse’s way, the lad ;ot noticing where he was going until too late to get out of the way. At last reports the boy was getting along very comfortably. Local and Butinen Tips. Knowltcn Young hawe the flrst fresh mackerel of the season. Also a treat drop in lobsters.

A Word About the Colby Team. Tn anticipating the personnel of the Oolby team the Boston Globe correspon dent seems to have drawn upon his InntR I minimi to a great extent and then em bellished tils Ktory with a large amount of material taken from the.same source. Tho tlrwt slap at Colby Is In the follow lug: "The manager of 'the Colby base bail team for Mils season will have some difficulty 111 finding material for Ills nine. There 1s an element of news about that which has been overlooked 'by other^-writ ers it i« .hi "exclusive for the Olobt. Again: “The men of !W were not espec ially good and several men expected to be available are not 111 the race owing to sickness, ete." We had not learned that the hospital at Colby was crowded and tho "ot cetera" business is beyond the comprehension of most t oM.y students. The two Putnams are given a deserved send-off hut they were "men o Henry will captain the team and P ay at first corner anil "Young 1 ut will look after second. That is ancient gossip. Brooks and Desmond come n or a touch-down. Brooks Is credited with be ing a good catcher bul Is sent Into tin Held this year. That will be no surprise to cirooksy." Desmond, the correspon dent claims, had a way of freezing the sphere when lie came up to face It. 111 fact is Desmond played left tiold aiul i"aango pitcher last year and averagea •two hits ill games played last reason. Ho will occupy the same positions tills year. Tho edict goes forth from the cor ner of Temple and Main streets that I at terson, Billy perhaps, will preside over the box and that Flood would like to pitch having “many qualifications for this position.” Not only does Flood want to pitch but he is going to, changing with Desmond. “Cushman, catcher and cap tain of last year's Hebron nine will prob ably act as back stop to be relieved by Scanned, 1900.“ It may be that the man ager of tho Colby team has not consulted the reporter regarding the placing . and Totman. 1900, are both making bids for shortstop continues this interesting narrative. W e under if the iboyw know it. Totman paid ‘venal thousand dollars for the privilege f playing a practice game in right tiold ow and then, but Tapper goes into the ight garden regular and a gentleman by In* name of Weeks who comes train lamps hire’s granite hills, will do the* con artion act at short, reporter or no re orter.

Tonight, the IfiOth performance of the "Frogs of Windham” will take place at City hall. Waters ille. The pleasing his tone opera of colonial times Is founded on fact and has been a wonderful su ee-s ‘kve its first proam tion. It made a great hit when placed in Waterville.last Dec m Ihi*. and all things point towards a bet ter rendition of the work this time, as the cast has been greatly strengthened by Dr. F. A. Knowlton of Fairfield. who will plav Lord Linvsood. an English dmle. and Prof. t!« o. P. Maxin. who will play Coy. Dyer. Other changes have greatly strengthened the cast especially in the comedy scenes. Tin- composer, Tturton K. Leavitt. says the opera always goes with mote dash and vim when repeated, and this was especially noticeable in the full rehearsal he’d, last night, when the company took up the work again with mangiticent dash and spirit. The same wealth of costumes, spec tacular and scenic effects and the great variety of pathos, comedy and historic interest will he retained, while some new features will greatly add to the produc tion. especially two new electric cal cium lights, which are a great improve ment over the usual calcium lights. The authors are giving the op* ra in Orono. Houlton. Calais and Fort Fairfield, and have tine companies in all these places. The new opera "Charter Oak" by the* same authors will probably sometime be presented in Watervilh* when the new City hall is completed. The Great Sousa Coming. Sousa’s peerless hand comes h**re fresh from great and renewed triumphs and is playing in superb form. The present or ganization is undoubtedly the best aggre gation of musicians that Sousa has ever directed, and is admitted to be the great est hand that ever play, d in this country. Mr. Sousa has the. faculty of so combin ing classical selections and popular music in his programmes, that all who attend the concerts are satisfied. A little dash or march or waltz, or a darkey song with sandpaper shuffle and tambos makes the contrast that is needed to relieve the so berness of the classical compositions. Sousa has studied this tiling and has made himself the most successful and popular bandmaster in the country, if not in the world. Kcs* rv,jb||w $2.50 $3.

Much pleasure was derived from the happy manner in which the remaining songs. “Pretty Phyllis Gray,” by Abel Thompson. “My Pretty Irish Maid." by D. W. Coyne." and “A Mothers Kiss Is Sweetest of Them All." by If. G. Soule, were rendered. The sec ond part opened wi«t*h a stump speech by C. Wesley Grover, who made a great hit both in his makeup and delivery. He was followed by Varney and Coyne In a regular old plantation breakdown, intro ducing sand jigs, reels, etc. They re ceived deserved applause. “The Boot black Drill, or 'the Parade of the Four Hundred.” by nine younger comedians, was a laughable thing, indeed and showed the hard work performed by George Heald. who drilled them. Without doubt, the hit of the evening was made when Varney and Dealey came in with their j Irish sketch. They are both “stars," and this sketch showed them off to good ad vantage. Their makeup was the best thing yet. The highly successful enter tainment was concluded with the side splitting farce, “Damon and Pythias." "•Dave” Coyne as Damon acted his part with much credit, and Mr. H. G.

Vice Pro* :der t Hotar t and merrjbcrs 97. by The Associated IYim) London, April 20.—In spite of the fact that the hostfllitles on the Oreek frontW have caused but little excitement here communications have been III pro all day long between the foreign and Rome. France and Athens. It la ported, tonight, that among the other Matters considered I* the expediency of ordering the International fleets to leave Cretan waters and to go In the direction of Halonlca anil the Dardanelles, to wnlrh the lighting, with a view to local izing It If neceasury by naval Interven tion. Till re Is said to be a sharp difference of opinion between the military powers, Russia, Austria-Hungary and Germany, and the maritime powers. Great Britain, France and Italy, as the most expedient and least violent method of compelling a cessation of hostilities, should this not be reached by the exercise of diplomatic pressure at Athens and Constantinople. It is reported in at the foteirn office that the communications received here, today, from the Marquis of Salisbury, after his Interview with Queen Victoria at Nice, support the theory that the British government Is using Its utmost energy to prevail upon the combatants to make a cessation of the conflict at the stage which it has now reached. M. Hanotaux. who received the Greek minister to France, today, is understood to have assured him that while Franco' could not tolerate the indefinite prolonga tion of war and would never consent to any essential modification of the exist ing territories of Greece and Turkey, she would continue for the present her policy of non-intervention, except so far as In tervention might be necessary to prevent the spread of the contest to other com batants. The Turkish commander-ln-chlef pru dently decided to allow his army to rest, today. _ AMERICAN INTERESTS Turkey Will Bfl Protected by Miatelir Terrell gad tfee Ngml Force. Washington.

He is now under general Instructions to ook after American interests and no-at tempt has been made, or is likely in the immediate future, to give him precise dl rections as to his conduct. The mof'O mcnts of the vessels of the squadron Will be left entirely to his discretion. The llfst slfjn that the admiral has begun the dis position of his little squadron to meet the tvar epoch was the receipt of a cablegram •tt the navy department. Monday, an cupcing the arrival of the United States ■ulscr Minneapolis at Syra. rite oflfcials of both the state and navy •partments however, have little appre •nsion of the ill treatment of American itixens in either Turkey or Greece, which regarded as about the. only powlWc cause of friction now.
