TOPSHAM FAIR Opens Wednesday With Best of Weather Conditions. The Exhibits Are Excellent, Among the Very Best Ever Made. Races Are Exciting—delta Wins 2.50 Trot— 2 25 Class Unfinished. Topsham, Oct. 13.—(Special).—The Sagadahoc county fair opened at Tops ham, today, with an attendance of about 2500 people. The day was an ideal one, and if the pleasant weather continues the financial success of Un fair i3 assured. The heavy rains of Monday and Tuesday put the track in a condition unfavorable to the making cf fast records, yet the races of the afternoon were hotly contested and the time was remarkably fast, all things considered. The hall display is one of the best in the history of the fair, and the exhibit of live stock is unusually large, the stalls at the grounds being completely filled. "Filsirs” galore have already arrived at the fair grounds and their stentorian voices everywhere proclaim the excellence of their wares. Merry go-rounds, hand organs and amateur brass bands add their music to the deafening uproar and all help to rouse the sedate old town of Topsham from its proverbial drowsiness. Thursday will be the great ray of the fair. It is childrens’ day, and among the special attractions of the forenoon will be a great parade of decorated bicycles. The races, Thursday after nooon, will consist of the 2.30 and 2.40 classes. The faculty of Bowdoin Col lege has granted adjournments in reci tations and lectures, Thursday, in or der that the college students may at tend the fair. j ne nrsi neat oi tne a...> class was called promptly at 1.30 o’clock, Wednes day afternoon. There were 14 starters, the heat being handily won by Ben venuto Boone, owned and driven by Or. Fanduiz of Brunswick, with the bay gelding, A. E. S., a close second. The second heat was easily captured by A. E. S., while the third heat re sulted in a victory for Lady Goodwin. The fourth heat was in the nature of a surprise, for that veteran relnsman, L. J. Brackett, landed the roan gelding I tiverton, an easy winner in the com paratively slow time of 2.29. On ac count of darkness the race was post poned at this point until 12.30 o'clock, Thursday. The 2.50 class was won by the gray mare, Metta, in three straight heats. She was headed at notime during the race. Nellie Moore, however, crowded her uncomfortably in the last heat. The events of the afternoon concluded with a baloon ascension by the famous areonaut. Prof. Stevens. The summaries: 2.50 CLASS—PURSE J150-TROT AND PACE. A. R. Tenney, gr. m.

The SCROFULA It is Foul Blood’s Advertise* ment But It is Soon Cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Yes, Scrofula, if anything, may bo called the advertisement of foul blood. It is the scourge of the world—offensive, painful, debilitating, stubborn and well nigh unendurable. Outward applications do not cure, they only drive the difficulty to new quarters. Emollients may palliate, they cannot abolish the evil. There is but one sure way out, and that is to eliminate the taint from the blood. There 1b one remedy that can effect this, and it is the only one that, so far as we know, has almost invariably succeeded— even where the system has been poisoned by long years of taint, and the ravages to be repaired are tremendous. That remedy is Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Bead this: My daughter was afflicted with im pure blood. There were running sores all over her body and they caused her much suffering. We tried medicines that were recommended as blood purifiers, but could not see that they did any good. A friend told me about Hood’s Sarsapa rilla and I began giving the girl this med icine. The result was that she was per fectly cured after taking a few bottles. 8he has had no symptoms of scrofula sores since that time.” Mabietta M. Smith, South Middleboro, Mass.

MtERIENS CHOSEN Will Act as Umpire in Settlement of British Venezuela Boundary Dispute. Washington. Oct. 13.—The international court of arbitration which is to pass on the IJritish-Venezula boundard. has been completed by the selection of M. Maer tons. a distinguished Russian jurist, as umpire, and arrangements are being made for the assembling of the court at Paris during the late summer or fall of next year. In the meantime the briefs of Ureat Britain and of Venezuela are being 1 prepared, but none of the papers has yet been submitted. M. Maertens will act hot only as umpire, but also as president of the court. The announcement that a European umpire had been chosen, was made in these dispatches some time since, but the name had been withheld until the sanc tion of the Czar t, but instead the name of Miss Juana Sola was used She was traveling under the care of a gentleman who accom panied her from Havana. When the Seneca reached (Juarantine the tow boat J. Fred Lohman, with several newspaper representatives and four women went alongside the steam er and waked until the health officers' inspection was over, when they went on Ixjard and accompanied Miss Cis neros to the city. Miss Juana Sola, the assumed name steamer Seneca at Quarantine at 9.30. She was transferred to the tug J. Fred I,ohman, which started ait once for the city. Miss Cisneros was attired in a red crcpon waist and skirt, with black lace trimming at her throat. She wore no hat, and was without a wrap or cloak. she had no baggage of any description. Miss Cisneros's escape and safe ar rival on the Seneca was one of th; most daring feaits ever attempted and was still a prisoner her friends secur ed a passport for one Juan Sola, an.l state room No. 3, on the Seneca was held in the same name. There were three days before the boat sailed. On the Saturday when the steamer was to leave Havana, detectives watched the gangways with extra cau tion. All day long they remained at their post, examining the passports, which all passengers have to show before leaving Havana. Their vig ilance would probably have prevented the departure of Miss Cisneros from Cuba, even after her escape from jail, had it not been for a little refreshment which was served to the detectives by friends of Miss Cisneros who were aboard and around the/Seneca. The refreshment included wine. The chief of police of Havana came aboard while the refreshment part of the plot was in progress, and it is alleged that he too, fell a victim of the wiles of the Cisneros faction. It was only a few minutes before the Seneca was ready to pull out from her dock when a slim, young fellow came running across the wharf. He had no baggage and was fashionably dressed. He walked quickly up the gang plank, name is Juan Sola.” he said, and he showed his passports. Everything was satisfactory, so the Senor was allowed to go aboard. It is said that if it had not been for the wine, the strange treble and rather curious figure of Senor Sola might have attracted the suspicions of the Spanish detectives. The scheme worked suc cessfully. MissCisneros's friends, when they' saw that everything was satis factory. disembarked and watched tin ship pull slowly out under the frown ing Spanish guns, carrying its burden to safety under the Stars and Stripes. Miss Cisneros did not court danger any more than was necessary, and at once went to her cabin. And the next day, when Morro Castle was left far behind, she appeared on deck, trans formed into Senorita Juana Sola, and dressed in a becoming red gown. Immediately upon landing in this city, today. Miss Evangelina Cosio y Cisneros was taken in a carriage to the Waldorf hotel. While Senorita Cisne ros was fatigued she appeared to be in the very best of spirits and exultant over her arrival in America. Senorita retired as soon as she reached the hotel and refused to be seen. INDIANAPOLIS RETURNS. Taggart. Democrat, Now Has 4008 Plurality Over Harding, Republican.

States Attorney Deneen Laughs and Phalen's Associates Turn Red. Judge Tuth.ll Stops Scheme to Arouse Sym pathy for Luelgcrt. Chicago, Get. 13.—Upon the opening of the court in the trial of Adolph Uuetgert, the alleged wife murderer, today. Attorney Phalen began his ar gument in behalf of the defence. "If this case had been submitted to the jury when the state closed its evi dence, I verily believe a verdict of not guilty would have resulted at once," declared Attorney Phalen. The evi dence of the prosecution came from in timidated witnesses, who perjured themselves,” he as-serted with empha sis. "These witnesses were brought in by the police and drilled into what they were to swear to. They came into this court to swear away the life of an in nocent man. During the progress of this trial, we had a good illustration of pet jury in this case, when Emma Schimpke, after giving her evidence, left the stand and admitted to her friends that she had deliberately lied.” At this point in his argument. Attor ney Phalen had become worked up to a high pitch of excitement and became a trifle confused. He talked about "False perjury” and said "Those or these statements you heard.” States Attorney Deneen chewed a lead pencil in an effort to suppress laughter and Assistant Attorney Me Ewen pulled his blonde moustache un til his face grew red because of self inflicted pain. Ex-Judge Vincent stared at his colleague in an annoyed manner. Attorney Phalen gradually recovered himself and talked on police intimidations, perjury and kindred topics. uuetgert was ro-ndling ms children, who had been brought to the court. Attorney McEwen approached Judge Tuthill and objected to the children be ing conspicuously exhibited before th jury. Judge Tuthill ordered that they be sent to seats removed from the one occupied by their father. In a loud tone of voice, ex-Judge Vincent ob jected to the removal of the children. "Oh, your object is plain enough, and I will not permit it," retorted Judge Tuthill. “I note an exception to the remarks of the coiirt,” said ex Judge Vincent. "Very well, go on, Mr.-- Phalen,” or dered the court. Si.* CROSS WAN'S EXTRADITION. Papers Are Intufficient and Gov. Wolcott Re fuses to Give Him Up. Roston, Oct.

Calhoun of Danville, spec ial commissioner to Cuba, know enough of the political situation on that island to warrant his belief that Spanish authorities winked at the es cape of Senorita Cisneros from an Havana prison.
