The People Believe What They Read About Hood's Sarsaparilla Their Faith in This Medicine is Grounded on Merit They Know It Absolutely Cures When Other Medicines Fail Hood’s Sarsaparilla is not merely a sim ple preparation of Sarsaparilla, Dock, Stillingia and a little Iodide of Potassium. Besides these excellent alteratives, it also contains those great anti-bilious and liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion. It also contains those great kidney reme dies, Uva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and Pipsissewa. Nor are these all. Other very valuable curative agents are harmoniously com bined in Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and it is carefully prepared under the personal supervision of a regularly educated phar macist. Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith the people have in Hood’s Sarsaparilla a matter of surprise? You can aee why Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures, when other medicines totally, absolutely fail. My little girl was afflicted with eczema and suffered for seven years. She was attended by physicians and tried many different kinds of medicine with out relief. After taking a few bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla she was cured.” Mbs. Emma Franklin, Honeoye, New York. Hood’s Is the Best—in fact the One True Blood Purifier. SI; six for SB. C. I. Hood Co..

Nineteen Men P Irish—Two Survive— Picked Up) from a Spar. Ship John McLeod Wrecked. Saturday, on Coa*t.o4 Nova Scotia. Buffalo, N. Y.,.1Sov. 7.—-The following are the names ot 16 of the 19 men who lost their lives on the steamer Idaho, which sank during the gale of Satur day morning, above Long poin on Lake Erie: Alexander Gillies, captain, Buffalo; George Gibson, first mate, Buf falo; William Clancy, chief engineer, Buffalo; John D. Taylor, steward, Buf falo: Nelson Skinner, first assistant en gineer; Louis Gilmore, watchman; Bichard McLean, wheelsman: Robert Williams, wheelman; A. J. Richards, lookout; Henry Thompson, lookout: Conrad Blanker, fireman; Wm. Gre gory, fireman; John Healy, assistant steward; Frederic Miffort, oiler; Ed ward Smith, deckhand, Rochester, N. Y.; M. Bell, deckhand. The names of three of the men drowned are unknown to the steamship company. One was a fireman, another a deckhand und a third a porter. The names of the two men saved are: Louis La Force, Jr., second mate; Wm. Gill, deckhand, Rochester. It is not known at the office of the Western Transit Co. where the greater portion of the dead men hail from. The Idaho went out of commission, three or four years ago. but this sum mer she was thoroughly overhauled, after which she was placed at the dis posal of the Naval Veteran's Associa tion and by that organization used as the flagship during the G. A. B. en campment in August. At the close of the encampment sin- was put into com mission again as a freighter. The captain of the ill-fated steamer Alexander Gillies, was one of the most widely known of the Lake seamen. He was 41 years old und knew the lake waters like a book. His brother, Don ald Gillies, is captain of the steamer Harlew. When the big steel steamer Mariposa arrived in port, close on to midnight last night, with the news of the dis aster to the Idaho and having on board the two survivingjnembers of the crew, Captain Boot had this to say regarding the storm on the lake and the rescue of the two men: "It was one of the worst gales I ever experienced in all my years on the Lakes. We started from Chicago with a load of oats. All the way down the Lakes we had to fight with the storm and I thought once or twice of putting in somewhere until it blew over. I am glad I did not for I fear that if I had these two men would have joined their mates. “It was about 12.30 yesterday after noon, when I first Teamed of the wreck. I was on deck when my first mate, Chamberlain, came to me and told me that he had sighted a spar off to the north and he thought there was a couple of men clinging to it. When I got my glasses on it I could plainly distinguish the men. We were running under a good head of steam and I put on more and headed for the spar. When I got near I was puzzled how to help the men off for I could not lower a boat in such a storm. Finally I circled about the spar until I ran alonside and my men picked the poor fellows off. “They had to drag them away from the spar by force for they had been there so long that their arms had be come almost paralyzed and were twisted about the mast and almost frozen fast to it. When we got them on board, we put them in bunks and gave them some warm food and soups and had them feeling pretty good physi cally when we reached harbor.” William Gill, the rescued deckhand, has sailed on the lakes for many years. His story of the disaster is a thrilling one. He said: “We left here, Friday night, bound for Chicago, with a cargo general merchandise. Everything semed to be all right until we got out ride the breakwater and then we were struck by the worst storm that I ever saw. As we headed up the lake, it appeared to be getting worse every minute. The waves were running high tnd the wind threw the lops from the breakers like dust. “We were near Long point at this time and the captain started to put in (here with the intention of beaching her. Hut the water gained so rapidly that it was too late. She was already aboring and the two men at the wheel 'ould do nothing. A couple more men .vent to work with then and finally they brought her around and headed .ter toward land. Captain Gillies 3tarted the pumps, ordered the men to the fire buckets and we formed a line and began to bail, but it was no use, the water gained on the pumps and the buckets and soon the water put the fires out. “When it was found that the power had gone and that she could not move, we knew we could not live in the trough of the fearful sea and the only hope left us was to run out the anchor and bring her head up to the sea and lec her Hide out the gale. Every seaman realized the danger of attempting to do that in the face of a huricane, and when Capt. Gillies decided to do it, he ordered- the lashings of the boats cut and told the men that they were forced to take the one last chance for their lives. “At the word the anchor dropped from the bow, but It went too slow and the ship simply tumbled into the trough of the seas, which broke over her in torrents. In an Instant she was as helpless as a log as she was tossed here and there and taking every wave aboard. The load was too much, and (Continued on page 2.) KELLY AND THORN. Two Famous Murder Trials Are Commenced, Monday. Kelly at Dover, N. H., for Confessed Murder of Cashier Stickney. Thorn at Long Island City for Ailegod Murder ol Wm. Guldensuppe. Court House, Dover, N. H., Nov. 8.— Joseph E. Kelley, the self-confessed murderer of Cashier Joseph A. Stick ney at Somersworth. on April 16 last, was placed on trial in the supreme court for Strafford county here, today, and much more was accomplished dur ing the first day’s deliberation than had been anticipated by any one connected with the proceedings. The case is looked upon by residents of Strafford county as one of the most remarkable in their section for years, and public feeling is aroused to the highest ex tent imaginable. Court opened, this morning at 10.30, Chief Justice Alonzo P. Carpenter pre siding. assisted by Judge Lewis W. Clark. The government was repre sented by Attorney General Edwin G. Eastman of Exeter, and Mayor ffm. F. Nason of this city, solicitor for Straf ford county, while Kelley’s interests are cared for by James A. Edgerly of Somersworth, who defended Isaac I!. Sawtelle, and Postmaster James Kyan. Jr., of Dover. Kelley has declared on several occa sions that he hail no fears of the day when he would be called to answer to the charge of murdering Cashier Stick ne> and the day has apparently failed to change his position. His relatives and friends declared that he never looked better in hi.« life, and he pre sented a picture of youth and health. During his confinement in the county jail he has gained 18 pounds and now balances the scales at 136. The day was mostly taken up in empanelling the jury, the 12th man being accepted, shortly after 4 o'clock, after a large number had been challenged by the de fence and prosecution, and several ex cused on account of age or having formed an opinion on either the case itself or the outline of defence that was likely to be made. The defence had a right to challenge 20, while the state could object to 10. The jurors from Somersworth were also excused. The jurors who are selected to wigh the evidence and render an impartial verdict are as follows: John R. Palmer. Harrington, framer, foreman. Osceola Foss, Rochester, shoe maker. Samuel E. DeMerritt, Lee, farmer. Maurice N. Lane, Lee, farmer. Charles Estes. Rochester, farmer. Leslie W. Ricker, New Durham, sta tion agent. John H. Nutter, Rochester, shoe maker. Daniel Hussey, Rochester, blacksmith and farmer. Abraham P. Otis, Strafford, farmer. Henry Laudecker, Dover, retired. Samuel F. Page, Rochester, farmer and carpenter. Frank Sleeper, Rochester, shoe maker. The remainder of the afternoon was taken up in the opening of the case for the state by County Solicitor Nason, who informed the jury that the state expects to prove the truth of the alle gation set forth in the indictment, that Joseph E. Kelley killed Joseph A. Stickney with a black Jack and razor, and that it was a deliberate and pre meditated murder. Court closed late in the afternoon, after Chief Justice Carpenter cau tioned the jurors about reading papers or listening to any remarks relating to the case while outside the court room. By 10 o’clock the court room com menced to fill up with lawyers, wit nesses, and spectators, the first arrvals Including Kelly's counsel, James A. Edgerly and James Ryan, Jr., accom panied by Mrs. Kelly, the mother of the prisoner and his two sisters, Annie and Lizzie Kelly all of Amesbury, Mass., where the self-confessed mur derer passed his boyhood.days. Kelly reached the court house at 10.26 in the custody of Deputy Sheriffs George W. Parker and Eugene B. Hayes. He was dressed in a brown suit and hat. wore a white wings collar and red puff scarf. He presented a fresh and rosy appearance and his rela tives say that he never looked better in his life. Soon after his arrival in court he was ushered to the witness room where he engaged in conversation with his counsel. Chief Justice Carpenter and Asso ciate Justice Clark reached the bench at 10.35. and the next prominent arri- vals were Attorney General Eastman and County Solicitor William F. Na son. who are to represent the state. Shortly after Kelly returned to the court room and took a seat near his counsel. Michael Kelly, father of the prisoner, and Frank Kelly, a brother, were also present when court opened, and were seated near the other relatives. Then followed the calling of the list of the talesmen from which the 12 men are to lie selected. County Clerk George E. Durgin called the names, while Sheriff James E. Hayes returned the court there being 88 who answered when their names were called. Chief Justice Carpenter then addressed them to the effect that 12 of the number would be selected to sit on the case, weigh the evidence that is to be pre sented and render an impartial verdict. Miss Bessie Clark was sworn as court stenographer. Clerk Dugen at 10.55 commenced calling the Jury, the first being. Walter Engeiand of Riilinsford. Upon being questioned by Chief Justice c Carpenter, he said he had formed an opinion which would take evidence to 1 remove, and that he did not believe 41 capital punishment. He said he could render an impartial verdict on the evi dence. He was challenged l>y the de fence and excused. The next called was Osceola F.

At the hour of adjournment Kelley's counsel objected to Deputy Sheriff George W. Parker having charge of KeJley on the ground that he is to ho a witness for the prosecution. Chief Justice Carpenter then suggested that another deputy be assigned to that work and Deputy Sheriff F. I. Smith was assigned. A request was also made to have the presiding justice make an order that no witness have charge of or have any connection with the respondent or the jury. No objection was made by the state’s attorneys and the order was made. The seven members of the Jury were placed in charge of Deputy Sheriff Plummer P. Walker, and Deputy Sher ff Eugene B.

Hit Purpose Is Source ol Much Gratification to Uncle Sam. Washington, Nov. S.—The authorities here have been advised that the ar rival, tomorrow, of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, premier of Canada, Sir Louis Davis! minister of marine in the Laurier cabi net. and other officials of the Dominion, is to have an important bearing not only the Behring sea/settlement, but on all the pending questions which have been sources of international complica tions between the United States and Canada, namely, the passage of alien laborers to and from Canada, the North Atlantic fisheries question, the pres ence of many Americans in the Klon dike territory belonging to Canada, and in the mining regions of British Colum bia, the fisheries trouble along the Great lakes, the bonding privileges granted Canadian railroads, the con troversy over rights in the Praaer river, British Columbia, and in the Pu get sound, and also the question of a reciprocity arrangement between the United States and Canada. There is direct and definite informa tion that Sir Wilfred comes prepared to take up all the questions and if posal ble include them in one general settle ment whereby the constant friction they have engendered may be over come, On some of these subjects he will confer with President McKinley and on at least one of them, that re lating to alien laborers crossing the border, he will suggest such mutual modification of the present restrictions as in his opinion, will be of material advantage to the thousands of Ameri cans now in the Klondike and British Columbian mining country and at the i same time will be of advantage to Canada along the eastern border. The essential features of Sir Wilfrid’s mission were communicated to the offi cials here by persons fully advised of the premier’s plans and it can be said that the suggestion that the decks be j cleared of existing disputes between Canada and the United States met with j the favor of thfle administration. While the Behring sea settlement oc j easioned the visit of the Can&dtail pre j mier. the Canadian authorities attach much less importance to it than they do to the other questions mentioned. They say that the Canadian sealing in terests is confined almost entirely to the far western territory where the sealers fit out and that even there a I considerable percentage of so-called i Canadian sealeis hail from Seattle, San Francisco and other American ports and fit out in Canadian ports under the British flag. What basis of settlement can he reached it not disclosed, but lit tle doubt, it is believed is felt by Cana dians that an amicable adjustment can be made. Among the plans suggested is that of an indemnity large enough to permit Canada to buy out the sealers and re tire them from business. With this done, the United States, Russia, Jap an, Breat Britain and Canada would be together in a suppression of pelagic sealing. There is no determination, however, to advance this plan in pre ference to others and the scope of the settlement will remain in doubt until the negotiations are open. Sir \V ilfrid and his associates will urge strongly that the border Immi gration laws be settled and on this point will confer with the President. Under the Premier’s direction the Can adian Parliament passed an alien im migration law. last spring, by w-hich American contractors and American la'bor was barred from competing In the work on the Cltiw’s Nest Pass Railway, a government undertaking in Western Canada. On the other hand, it is claimed by the Canadians that about 5000 Americans are in the Klon dike territory belonging to Canada, and that fully 10.000 American con tract laborers are working in the mines of British Columbia. The United States immigration laws, it is asserted, are administered with harshness along the Canadian border and are a daily source of irritation. Sir Wilfrid, there fore, will suggest that the causes of irritation be removed on both sides and it is understood that he is prepared to offer a repeal of Canadian restrictions in the Klondike and other regions If the administration of the American law is made more lenient. in mis niiiiitfruuni me co-operanon of the United States is desired in plans of the Canadian authorities to make an easy route to the Klondike. The proposed route is by boat from Port Wrangle to the Stickene river, which is in the territory belonging to the I'nited States and up the "Stickene via Tasland lake to the Yukon river and thence to the gold Helds. As the Stickene river is on American soil, It is desired to overcome any possible controversy, although the treaty of Washington is said to make the navi gation of the river free to the Cana dians and Americans alike. The need of this short route under the patronage of the Dominion Is felt by the Cana dian Premier to be imperative In view of the information reaching them that 15.000 Australians will go to the Klondike in the spring. A total of 50. )00 colonists arc expected to head that way. On the matter 'ot reciprocity, the will be to give the United States the benefit of the minimum clause of the present Canadian law in exchange for he 20 per cent, reduction allowed un ler the Dingtey law. The desire of Sir Wilfrid and his aeao* fates will be to confine the arrangement (Continued 0BJ£P* J.)

IN THE POLO RINK. Gardiner Takes Second Game from Augusta, in Home Rink. Rockland Beats Lewiston, 4 to 2— PprtUnd Beats Bath, 5 to 2. Fill Riv«r DtfeaU Salem, 5 to 4, in tha National League. HERE is no denying the (act—we do enjoy seeing the Augusta polo team pull out a victory! Such occa sion are unc tion to our souls. Especially do we mount into etherial realms and tread on air when our favorites do up the proud and doughty Gardiners; and yet, this feel ing of exultation arises from no nar row jealousy of our sister city. It is rather because we have a Just appre ciation of her “get there” qualities, and hence appreciate1 the genuine glory of a victory won from her gallant defend ers. Wow! But it did look as if things were coming our w’ay, last night, when the Augusta team started in with a rush and took three straight goals. We managed, however, to wear the same hat though we did think serious ly of telephoning Weaver to prepare a turkey supper. It was better, how ever, that we did not. We eat our ham sandwich with less relish, perhaps, as we pen this sad story, but we are able to bring to it the impartiality and truth which is born of a chastened and contrite spirit. It was a good game, full of brilliant plays, and snap and dash. If “our team" had won we should not have had the slightest hesitation in pro-, nouncing it “a dandy”— But! Well, let’s drop all that, it cannot be helped, and besides, there will be plen ty of other opportunities, before the winter is out, for us to have "a turn at the wheel.” It would be a difficult thing to put one’s finger on the exact spot where last night’s game was won or lost. Both teams played well. The work of the goal tends was brilliant—especiall> that of Murphy who had the most work to do—and who did exceedingly well, having the large number of 39 stops. Brilliant work was also done tor Augusta by Schofield and Turner Malone showed up well at half back, and Captain Perry played his usual steady game. For Gardiner, Charlie Gay did his usual fine work, and was ably assisted by Hadley, Smith and Houghton. Captain Doherty was, as usual, ex ceedingly numerous and troublesome on his end of the rink. Manager Smart's team is 50 per cent, better than any he had last year. He has some great Individual players; but there is room for a considerable gain in unity of play which the boys may reasonably be expected to acquire a3 the season advances. Gardiner won by superior team work. Her men played a position game, and excelled In passing. The result was appar&nt in the two last periods. Au gusta played a fast rushing and slug ging game, and took the first three goals. But the pace told upon the play ers. In the second period there was a visible let down in the work. In the third period the men were tired. It was then that the advantages of Gar diner's team play were apparent. The players of that team had saved them selves by keeping their positions. The result was that they won four straight goals, and the game. It was a heart breaking finish for the local cranks. In the first two periods the Augusta players prevented Gay from exercising his hard hitting powers, by some great blocking off. In the last period there was a notice able fall oft of play in this respect. Au gusta was also greatly weakened by an unfortunate scg-ap which occurred in the second period. Schofield, who had played a brilli#ik,gajne up to that point claimed that DOhertV deliberately slug ged him with his polo stick for the pur pose of disabling him. This we under stand Doherty denies. The fact remains however, that Scho field has the marks to show that some body hit him a hard clip. The result was a clinch between him and Captain Doherty. They were promptly separ ated however. It was a disgraceful af- i fair and Referee Long did the right thing by ordering both men out of the game. This unfortunate episode was far worse for Augusta than for Gardi ner. Schofield had caged the ball in j three of the goals for Augusta, and was playing a hard fast game. His loss oc- i casioned an almost complete change in the line up of the team, and while i Tobin, who succeeded him did very creditable work, it was evident that the Augusta team was sadly weakened. On the other hand while Gardiner lost a good man in the retirement of Cap tain Doherty, Hadley, who succeeded him, played a distinctly better game. Aside from this the game, while a live ly one, was unusually free from ob jectionable features only one foul—on Malone—being called. Next Thursday night the struggle will be with Bath.

Tobin created a favorable Impression. The bleacherites kept the fun alive as In the days of yore. Cot. Billy Long conducted the ceremony in his own inimitable manner. Rockland will play at Gardiner. Tues day night, and Augusta has an open date. Malone's work all through the game was at the top-notch and called forth bursts of applause. The crowd "guyed" Capt. Doherty to some extent, which was not relished by the doughty Gardinerite. It is very evident that some members of the Augusta team have enjoyed very little preliminary practice. Doherty is no 5-o'clock-tea player, and that's dead sure. He goes in with a vim and doesn’t seem to care for the best of ’em. Capt. Perry has not as yet got fully onto his bearings in his usual shape, but will be all right with a little more practice. Numbers of the fair sex with their hus bands and best fellows were much in evi dence and seemed to evince as deep an interest as the men. Peter Hackett enjoyed the game from the gallery. Peter is anxious to get into the game at the earliest opportunity, but is not in condition at present. .Murphy, who 'played with Bath, last season, was in the points for the Sena tors at goal, last night. Some of his stops were of the sensational, hair-rais ing order. Chin K,ee, the 18-carat polo crank from the land of rice and tea, was present at the festivities. He was accompanied by his sparring partner, his cousin, and two other Celestials. Manager Houlehan was in good humor with himself and the rest of the world. He had a right to be. His boys had played great polo, and pulled a handsome victory out of what looked, at the start, like certain defeat. The Gardiner contingent was of the “rooting" calibre. Talk about your pan demonium and Madame Bedlam joining in one vociferous, tumultuous acclaim when the Ice Cutters tied the score! If the wind had only been all right, it is dollars to doughnuts that the echo could have been heard somewhere near Gardi ner's City hall. ROCKLAND. 4; LEWISTON, 2 A Hot Game With a Little More Scrapping Than Po*o Law Allows. Rockland, Me., Nov. 8.—The champions defeated the Lewiston aggregation, this evening, by a score of 4 to 2. The game was exciting throughout, but more slug ging existed than was called for. May nard and Jones had a mixup in the second period ar.d both were ordered from the floor. The playing of Rockland's rushers was the best seen here, this season, while O'Malley was like a stone wall in front of the cage. Walton was injured in the lirst period but was obliged to return in the second period, as the visitors were short of men. The lineup: ROCKLAND. LEWISTON. Campbell lr.. Tarrant Murphy 2r.

He will stay it home in Salem until his manager and Re agree on terms. Portland Press: Manager Burnham is well pleased with the appearance and playing of his men and he promises to ihow the people of Portland as nice look ing and as fast playing a polo team as has ever been seen here. The uniforms of the Portlands will be dark maroon. The stockings will be of the same color with white stripes. Boothbay Register: Polo is one of the talked-of sports for the coming winter. A local league will be formed consisting of a team from Boothbay Harbor. West Side: East Boothbay, Boothbay Harbor, East Side; West Harbor and Boothbay. The schedule will probably be two games a week, and will be played in Pythian Opera house, which will be specially fitted for the game, with new cages, nets, etc. It is hoped a strong interest may be re vived in the game and a sufficiently large attendance each night to make it a suc cess. Lewiston Sun: The bulky form of Dick Furbush could be seen in almost every mixup and the way he clawed around with his stick, leaned up against the Bath men and slammed the ball was worth dollars to see. j Why every time he swatted that ball —which was pretty often—the Bath men dodged and the ball would whang against the bulkhead hard enough to actually split a two-inch plank. The The Bath men would for an instant gaze at Furbush then at the split plank and put on a look as much as to say, excuse me for meeting one of those with my face? The Chicago Times Herald says: Chinese coal miners are to take the place of Americans in the northern Illi nois district. An attempt will be made to in oak the strike that exists and 800 skilled Celestials have been picked for ne work. They will bear arms, live inside a gattling gun equipped stockade and be body guarded by 100 former Chicago policemen. An agent of the Chinese Six Companies was in Chicago, last week, and made a contract with the Wilmington Coal Co., to deliver the 800 Chinamen at the mines of the Wil mington-Braidwcod district. The first i consignment of 200 will arrive, next 1 Tuesday, and the others will be on hand as soon as provisions can be made to take care of them. The best remedy for rheumatism. Mr. John W. Gates, Petersburg, Va., writes: "I used Salvation Oil for rheumatism and obtained great relief. It is the best remedy I have ever tried, and I shall always keep it in the house." KELLY AND THORN. (Continued from page 1.) Ion, and unless the evidence was very positive he could not change It. William W. Willard of Dover, was challenged by the defence. Samuel F. Page of Roc'hesterrt was accepted as the eleventh Juror at 3.53 and Charles M. Dosworth of Dover, was then called and excused, as were also Michael McGulnness and Charles E. WCbster of Dover, all of whom had formed an opinion. Joel Smart of Farmington, was chal lenged by the defence, as was also George B. Quint of Milton. James Rossi ter of Dover, said he had formed such an opinion that It couM not be changed, and he was excused. Thomas F. Hodgdon of Rollinsford, was also excused for the present. Frank Sleeper of Rochester, was se lected as the twelfth Juror, at 4.16, an I the panel was completed. John R. Palmer of BarringtoiT was selected as foreman, and the 12 men were sworn in. Clerk Durgin then read the indict ment, charging Kelley with the mur der of Joseph A. Stickney. The court, with Attorneys Edgerley and Nason then held a consultation and a recess of 15 minutes was taken, after which County Solicitor Wm. F. Nason made the opening for the state, reciting the circumstances of the deliberate murder and spoke as fol lows: May it please your Honor, Mr. Fore man and Gentlemen of the Jury: Joseph Kelley, the respondent in this case stands charged in this indictment, with having, on the 16th of April of the present year, feloniously, wilfully and of his malice aforethought and with premeditation and deliberation atSom ersworth, in this county, killed and murdered Joseph A. Stickney. He stands charged in the indictment with having committed that murder by striking said Stickney divers severe and grevious blows with a policeman's billy on the head, breaking the scalp and giving the said Stickney mortal wounds and then with a razor cutting the throat of the said Stickney and thereby also giving to him mortal wounds from which wounds the said Stickney died. We expect, Mr. Foreman and gentle men of the jury, to prove to your minds beyond reasonable doubt the truth of the allegations set out in the indict ment. We expect to prove to your minds a deliberately premeditated and planned cold-blooded murder. In other words we expect to prove a case of murder in the first degree. We shall show to you that Mr. Joseph A. Stickney was a man TO years of age and somewhat feeble and at the time of his death and for a long time pre vious had been a resident of Somers worth. His occupation was that of chashier of the Great Falls National Bank which bad a place of business on Market street in the city of Somers worth at the time of his death, and for a long time before Mr. Stickney had been cashier of the hank. He had for assistant cashier in the hank a lady by the name of Miss Swazey. You will be taken to Somersworth to view the scene. At noon on April 16. there was money in the bank to the value of $4300. Miss Swazey was at her home during the noon hour, while Cashier Stickney was the only person in the hank, and who expected to go to his home upon the arrival of his assist ant. At about 2 o’clock. Frank P. Reed visited the institution for the purpose of transacting business and found th? glass in the door broken. He notified the city marshal, who climbed through the space in the door and sent for Miss Swazey to open the inside door and upon going into the hank Mr. Stickney was found on the floor, life extinct with his thoat cut and his head terribly fractured. Near the body was found a blackjack and piece of brown wrap ping paper. Ah examination of the vault showed that nearly all the money was missing. Miss Swazey in going behind the counter, found a piece of paper with the following written upon it: “Dellever to Joseph E. Kelly my post age stamps.” Frank Stone. Mr. Stone was postmaster in Berwick and kept his stamps in the bank. In December, 1896, Mr. Stone sent Kelly with an order to get some stamps, but the order found in the bank, April 16, was not given by Stone. We expect to show it was written by Joseph E. Kel ly. At this point the prisoner smiled and looked about the court room when Mr. Nason asked "Who is this Joseph E. Kelly?” Mr. Nason, continuing, said: "We willl show that in December, 1896, Kel ly went to board and room with Mrs. Wilkinson in Berwick, and remained there up to the time of the murder. In January, 1897, he hired rooms in the Lothrop building, opposite the bank, and from the windows in his room he could look across to the interior of the bank. He occupied the room up to the time of the murder, still boarding in Berwick. We shall attempt to show that he planned the robbery. He told Mrs. Wilkinson that he would pay her, Thursday, hut did not pay, but that day he went into a store for a piece of wrapping paper and some twine and that a piece of the paper was found in the bank and the remainder in his room in the Lothrop block. •'We shall attempt to show that Kel ly went into the bank and presented his order to the cashier, and fell him him to the floor and took the keys from Mr. Stickney's pocket and locked the door, went to the box, put the money and stamps into a white bat?, pillow slips, put on a false moustache and goatee and tried to open the door, but could not and then broke the glass. He went up over the hill to an orchard, left the bag, put an overcoat over it, jumped over the fence and went to his room and Changed his hat and crossed the bridge to his hoarding house. He then went to a stable to hire a team on the pretence of going fishing, but took the team into Pages’ lane. He got the money and drove to the board ing house, saw Mrs. Wilkinson in his room, telling her he was going fishing. He took a dress suit case, saying he would return at night, after paying her $23 for board and promising to pay more that evening, and left the house. He did not go fishing, but drove the hprse rapidly to Lebanon, and then to Milton, where he purchased a hat and overcoat, leaving the team at a livery stable and then went to Union on the cars, from there to North Conway and BE STROKS HUP HEARTY.

Quebec Junction, there taking a train for Dudswells. He left the train at Cookshire Junction, at midnight, and went to a hotel, taking the train, the next morning, for Montreal Junction, where he took another train for St. Polecrape Junction, and left the bag of silver in a brook. He arrived at St. Augustine, Saturday night, and stopped there till Monday afternoon, when he hired a woman's dress and bonnet and went to Montreal, where he was found in a house with the gold and bills in his pocket. When he was arrested he said to the officers: Yes, I’m Joseph Kelly, the man you're looking for." Upon being iden tified by a New Hampshire man, Kelly said: "Yes, my neck will stretch for this, but I did not do it. Jack did it. I met him in Dover.” The next day j however, he admitted he was the only party concerned in the murder. He was brought to Dover and said his original plan was to take the money to his room and mingle with the people but was unable to unlock the bank door and he got out the l«*st way he i could. He pleaded guilty to the com- j plaint at the preliminary hearing held in Do vet;. After Mr. Nason finished. Chief Jus tice Carpenter informed the jurors that they are to visit the scene of the mur- der, tomorrow morning at S o'clock, i and court adjourned until 10 o'clock, i when it is expected they will return to j this city and the trial will continue. Kelly was taken back to the jail for the night while the jurors are in elos? quarters at a hotel. A large number of witnesses arrived, today, including the detectives who j captured him in Montreal. Miss Stick- j ney, daughter of the murdered cashier. was an interested spectator in the j court room, this afternoon. Among the jurors called was Charles A. Willand from Rochester, who said he did not care to serve on account of a personal affair, which of late he had a supposition might have some connec tion with Kelley. He was excused and later told why he had made the excuse, his story seeming to implicate the pris oner in another affair, about two years ago, in Rochester. He says that at that time a shabbily dressed woman called at his home and gained an entrance to the house wish ing to talk with Mrs. Willand. After the woman had been in the house a short time, she seized Mrs. Willand. bound and gaged her and went through the house looking for money, a small sum being taken, but the thief soon left the house and a clew was never ob tained. When Kelly was arrested, the Wil lands saw his picture in the papers and the face seemed familiar to Mrs. Willand, and was positive that she had seen the fact before and made up her mind that it was the face of the party in woman's clothes who had tied her. Mr. Willand secured Kely's photograph and when his wife saw it she ex claimed: “That is the man who came to the house, that day. I am sure of it." Her positiveness tended to convince him of the probability of the indentifi cation and with the feeling he did not wish to try the young man on a capi tal offence. Considering Kelly's position, it may seem like piling on a accusations, but the matter should only be considered in relation to the remarks of the jurors and taken for what it is worth. MARTIN THORN'S TRIAL. The Jury 8ecured on First Day—The Trial Proper to Begin, Today. New York, Nov. 8.—This was the first day of the trial of Martin Thorn, for the murder of one William Gulden suppe, a bath rubber, and was entirely taken up in securing a Jury, and much to the surprise of all interested, 12 men had been sworn to try the case when the hour for adjournment had arrived this evening. The trial began shortly after 9.30 o’clock this morning, in the Queens county court house, Long Island City, before Judge Wilmot M. Smith. Dis trict Attorney Youngs, assisted by Judge Weller and Assistant District Attorney Davidson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Howe and Joseph Moss, of the firm of Howe Hummed, had charge of the defence of Thorn to which they had been assigned by the authorities of New York and Queens counties. Although Thorn was Jointly indicted with Mrs. Augusta Nack, for the murder, it was decided to try them separately. In case the prosecution fails to convict Thorn it is not unlikely that Mrs. Nack will never be brought to trial. At an early hour this morning, the court house on Jackson avenue, the rear of which is the county Jail, was besieged with people anxious to gain admission to the court room. This room at the utmost could hardly ac commodate 300 people comfortably, but long before 9 o'clock every seat and available point of vantage was occu pied. The main body of the court house within the enclosure was reserved foi» the lawyers in the case and the news paper reporters and artists of which there were over three score in attend ance. The side galleries were also filled with an anxious crowd, one of the most prominent on-lookers there be ing Maria Ytarberie, the Italian girl, who after being sentenced to death for the murder of her former lover, was acquitted on a second trial. This young woman was married, u few days ago, and, today, her husband sat beside her. District Attorney Youngs did not ex pect to till the Jury box, before Wednesday, but both he and the law yers for the defence worked hard and earnestly without quibbling or wast ing a moment, and both sides were sat isfied, tonight, that they had secured an Intelligent and trustworthy Jury. After the names of the special Jury panel had been called off Sheriff Doht was directed to go down to the prison for Thorn. Two minutes afterward the prisoner appeared, his right hand handcuffed to Police Captain Meth ven's left, while on Thorn's left a dep uty Eherlff walked, with the sheriff bringing up fhe rear. Thorn walked into the court with an elastic step and undaunted air with his head erect. He was hatless but his hair was brushed up from his forehead and his face was cleanly shaven. He looked better than at any time since his incarceration and his face showed no sign of prison pal lor which is common among men who are cl’osely confined. In fact his face had a slight tinge of color. When the handcuffs were taken from him, Thorn shook hands with both his lawyers and after a few whispered words, glanced around the court room and his bluish gray eyes, which are th only weak points In his features, took in the entire situation almost at a glance. Throughout the day Thorn was very cool. The jury was completed as follows: Jacob Bumstead, Oyster Bay, far mer. Michael Mulgannon, Hemstead, L. 1 farmer. John Kinsey, Jamaica, L. I., farmer. Frank E. Marsh, saloon keeper, Ja maica. Charles Nichols, oysterman, Free port. Mangus I-arsen. contractor. John E. Conklin, mechanic, Koslyn, U I. David B. Wheeler of Corona, polisher and printer. John Conrad Schlegof, janitor. Peter Waters, grocer. Oyster Bay T. I>. Bellows, real estate broker. Flushing. Joseph L. Townsend, farmer, North Hempstead. L. I. After the jury had been chosen, court adjourned until in o'clock, to morrow morning, when the trial proper will begin. YALE MEN HOPEFUL.

The 'Varsity Eleven In Good Shape lor Salur. day's Game With Harvard. New Haven. Ot.. Nov. 8.—The Yale university foot ball, this afternoon, be gan the process of closing up its ranks preparatory to the great contest with Harvard at Cambridge, Saturday. Prom .2.15 until 3 o’clock, the practice was of the star chamber order and from 3 until 3.20. spectators were ad mitted. This afternoon, the Yale policy was made apparent. The round ing up of the 11 men, who will compete in the two big games, was begun and it was not difficult to see that the course of Yale's eoachers has been productive of results. Early in the season, it was decided that Yale foot ball must undergo com plete reconstruction and lines for ac tion were drawn'which had for their limit the re-establishment of Yale's impregnable defence. The whole uni versity has gone over and every avail able man has been called out. Today, Yale has a little army of men. all of whom are good foot ball players. The best 11 men have been picked and hope of victory is by no means abandoned. The team development scheduletl for this week promises to produce for Old Eli an 11 which will not be walked away with. Today, the Varsity played good foot ball. Every man on the team thorough ly understands the Yale game, proved apt and the rehearsal of tricks, inti i cate formations and signals were a suc cess. The college side was given the ball during the greater part of the practice, but the Varsity ripped the scrubs wide open. Once the sub's team succeeded in making a long gain, but it was around the end of the line, a point where Yale's most serious weakness is evident. When the University eleven had possession of the ball it was a eas? of tearing through the opposing line at will, despite the fact that their oppon ents knew the sgnals. Altogether, the afternoon practice was exceedingly encouraging and one thing is announced as certain: Yale’s 1897 foot bail team is one of the sandi est and most gritty in the history of Yale foot ball. Among the student body, tonight, there is a great hope for success. With Capt. Rodgers, the eoachers and play ers there is strong determination and something like faith in the ability of the team to stop Harvard. Neither victory nor defeat will surprise them hut a Yale Waterloo is not looked for. No one was injured on the practice, and every man on the team is as fit as a fiddle. Tomorrow and Wednes day, practice will be had. On Thurs day morning, exercise, a light practice in the afternoon and signal rehearsing in the evening will be the programme. Friday morning, the men will be ex ercised Just enough to keep them in shape, and, early in the afternoon, the team,will leave for Boston. CONDENSED DISPATCHES A cable message received at Rome. Mon day. from Rio Janeiro. Brazil, announces that a band of 40 brigands hus oeen over running the state of Espiritu Sancto. murdering and pillaging on all sides. The dispatch adds that the band recently at tacked an Italian colony in the state, kill ing six of its members and wounding four others. The Italian consul has demanded of the government of Brazil the immedi ate dispaten of troops to protect the col onists and punish the olTenders. Charles R. Hosmer of Montreal, gen eral manager of the Canadian Pacific tel egraphs. general manager of the Postal Pacific Telegraph Co. and the Commercial Cable Co., arrived at San Francisco. Sun day, and is the guest at the Pacific hotel of John- W. Mackay. He says that within the next year the Canadian government will undoubtedly construct and complete a telegraph line to Dawson City and by the identical route originally surveyed by George Kennan. the Siberian traveller, 30 years ago. For the first time In history, the town of Blaine entertained a Governor, Wednesday, which gave an added en thusiasm to Governor Powers’ lecture there. 19 LIVES LOST. (Continued from page 1.) after a moment, when we all felt that we were lost, the ship keeled over to starboard and went down stern first. "What became of my mates 1 do not know. I remember that the boats had been lessened and that some of the men were ready to take to them if the ves sel went under, but no boat could have lived for a minute in that terrible sea and if any of them did get in the boat is was simply to be swamped as soon as the first wave struck them. "I was near the spar, and when the stern of the vessel began to go under I went for the rigging and went up as fast as I could. Another man went with mo—the second mate—and thank the Lord that he was with me, or i would have gone mad during all the long hours that I was up there hang ing on and trying to keep off the fright ful cold that was surely killing us both. “All this time the hail and sleet was coming down In a cutting sheet and we were covered with ice in a few minutes, for though the top of the spar on which we were hanging was 2G feet above water, the big waves struck us and broke ov-r us and the hail cut us like shot. I knew thut it was about 3 o’clock when we went down, and it seemed to me that daylight would never come. For what seemed an age. we hung onto the rigging and we twisted our arms about the spar and let them freeze In that position, for we would have fallen into the fearful sea. "When daylight came we could not see a sail anywhere near us and the sea was as bad as ever. There did not seem to be any ehunce of it going down. Hour after hour we waited there and then we saw the Mariposa coming. When she finally sighted us and we saw her head for u-, 1 tried to tell my mate but I could not. and he looked at me with a happy look in his eye. It was a terrible time to us. before site rami' up to us. and then I knew we were not yet' safe, for the sea was running mountains high and the big steel boat was rolling like a skiff. "Three times the Mariposa circled around us. On the third trip around, she ran right alongside our spar and as she went past a dozen men reached for us. I do not know who got the mate, but Mr. Smith, the engineer, got hold of me atul dragged me from the spar and over the rail of the Mariposa. An instant later wc had passed the little stick on which I and the mute had been hanging almost a day. although it seemed a week.” The second mate, Louis Laforce. told a harrowing story. He said that in the rush ejf men from the hold, one of the. a watchman, was trampled to death. The crew was frantic to get out of the place. Six or eight, he said, must have been drowned like rats in the hold. They were not warned of the sinking of the boat. The first long dip of the stem was '.he first intimation they had that the final danger was at hand, and then they made a grand rush to get on deck. The hatch way was too small to let them through together and the result was that one of them was trampled to death and several were left to drown. The unknown fireman that went down with the Idaho was named Richards, He lived at Ogdensburg and was the son of (’apt. Richards of the tug Thomas Wil son. which plies on Lake Ontario. Nelson Skinner, first assistant engineer, lived at Auburn. SHIP JOHN McLEOD LOST. Goes on Rocks Near the Entrance to Halifax All Hands Saved. Halifax. N. S.. Nov. 7.—The ship John LcMeod, Captain Stewart, from llio, via Delaware Breakwater, with a cargo of sugar, bound to this port, struck on Black rock, one of the Sister shoals, near Sambro entrance of this harbor, at 8 j'clock this morning, during a thick fog. The vessel commenced to make water fast and the crew all took to the boats. The ship sank soon after the crew left, itoing down in about MO fathoms, and is a total loss, tsne was 1519 tons and 12 years old and owned by Troop Son of St. John. She was worth about $40,000 and ter cargo was valued at about $100,000 and was for the Acadia refinery, and is In sured in New York. The captain and rew lost ail their effects. The McLeod hit Black rock three times ivith terrible force, each time backing off .tnd finally floating away, a helpless wreck, with water eight feet deep in her ".old and gaining so rapidly that going to the bottom was a question of only a dtort time—how short, it was impossible for the crew to determine. Early Saturday night, the ship was off Sambro. but as the weather was very thick. Capt. Stewart decided to stand off till morning, there being signs of the wind coming around to the yestward. He tccordingly wore ship and stood oft. pro ?eeding as he thought about 20 miles to the southeast. According to the patent log. the ship had covered this distance, ind at 3 A. M.. Capt. Stewart once more shaped his course under easy sale for Halifax harbor. The fog whistle on Sant oro could be faintly heard on board and the captain felt sure of his position. But in hour later he was startled at the mund of the Sisters bell buoy right under tits bows. Captain Stewart hurried below and was looking over his chart, when the mate shouted: "There is land dead ahead." rhis was quickly followed with: "There ire breakers dead ahead." Captain Stewart called. "Put the wheel hard town.” and hurrhd on deck. 11is feet no sooner struck the deck than they were mocked from under him. The ship was in the rocks, with the seas running mountains high and a gale of wind blow ing. She had struck the end of Black "ock about aft the foremast and a mighty sea lifted her up like a feather on :he rock. Back she slid into the water, inly to be picked up by another sea and ifted again onto the rock, striking on her beam the second time. Again the ship slid back into the sea. tnd for a third time was caught up in its mighty grasp and flung against the rock, striking this time about aft the main mast and completely cutting away her waterway on the port side. Then she fell jack into the water and cleared the rock. The captain, ordered the pumps to be tounded and it was found there was eight feet of water in the hold. It was a case of life and death. The ship was fast settling. There was no ,'hance to beach her. The seas were making over her and the crew expected every moment to be their last. After a hard struggle the boats were launched. The captain. Second Mate Malley. the steward, sailmakcr and four seamen took to one boat, and the rest of the crew of it men to the other. H. Petersen, a sea man. had his arm broken in two places by one boat crashing against the hip. This crew rowed for Devil’s island, where they landed. The captain returned to the ship later on to secure the ship’s papers and his nautical Instruments. Then he again put off from the ship and was working to ward the harbor when pilot boat No. I came along and picked up his boat. Captain Steward explained that al though the log showed he was at leas: 10 miles clear of Sambro. he was actually only a short distance from the rocks. He attributes the mistnker to currents run ning swiftly to the westward. Pilot Latter and two other men boarded the McLeod shortly after daylight tnd finding her abandoned, attempled to work her Into port. The water gained on them too rapidly and at noon they had u- lake a pilot boat that came along. Shortly afterward the ship went down, sovtr.il miles from shore. Acting Mayor Scobey of Denver, Col., has approved the ordinance recently passed by the council. Axing a license fee of $1000 for all dealers In cigarettes.

faity gtmvta Merlins Kill the Caterpillar*. North Monmouth, Nov. 8, 1897. Editors Kennebec Journal: If you will allow me a little space in yopr agricultural columns I will tell you what little I know to be a fact in regard to keeping' caterpillars am] other worms and grubs from our apple trees. I have a small orchard near my house and my neighbors have the same adjoining mine. Through all the caterpillar years for 15 years past these orchards have had but a very few caterpillar nests in them. Last year there were but three nests in my orchard, while 1 had trees about three fourths of a mile away that were com pletely covered with them and others were the same. Now tVie remedy. Eighteen years ago I had a large mar tin house built and set it in the middle of my little orchard on a crotch pole about 15 feet high, the house was large enough for 14 pairs of martins. The second year every room was taken up by them and has been every year since. These birds raise from four to six young to a nest. These birds arrive here from the eighteenth to the twenty-first of April sometimes the snow would be two feet deep around the martin house pole. But they come just the same and never vary from that time. They hatch their young about the middle of June and begin to fly about the middle of July. So you see in July and part of August I have from to 70 to 85 birds Hying among my trees and my neighbors. These birds get ail their living on the wing never go to the ground only to get material to build their nests. Their whole liv ing is on millers and dies, and they are great feeders. They are on the wing nearly all the time when it does not rain, and they are especially busy just before sunset, when the caterpillar moths begin their work. These moths or millers lay their eggs the last of July and August just the time when these birds are in best working condi tion and but very few winged insects escape them. This is the cause of ray not having any caterpillars in my or chard. so I claim. These birds invari ably leave for parts unknown from the 18th to the 22nd of August. They are great singers in their way. and com mence their songs about half past three in the morning perhaps some would not like that at drst as it would dis turb their morning repose; then put them further away in your orchard. Now I believe if every one that has an orchard would put up from one to five martin houses among their trees they would rid them of caterpillars and many other insects that injure our ap ple frees. These houses do net want to lie made gaudy but plain, paint lead color if painted at all. high colors drive them away for a few years. If any one decides to try this they must set their poles (which should be cedar.) before the ground freezes and the house must be up before the 20th of April. Some of my neighbors are going to try it next spring, and I wish many others would. Why not have the air full of these beautiful birds abou; our homes. Give them a home and they will come. J. L. O.

CANADA’S PREMIER (Continued from page 1.) id important articles, allowing time to develop its usefulness and extend its scope. On the part of Canada the articles likely to he proposed for reciprocity are: Kish, coal, lumber and barley. On the part of the United States the articles likely to figure in the negotiations are: Coal, coal oil. corn, railway and electrical supplies, machinery of all kinds, agri cultural implements, watches, clocks, cotton and certain forms of iron and steel. The Canadian law permits a one eighth reduction of duties, this year, and one-fourth reduction, next year, to such countries as give advantage to Canada. At present British goods get this reduc tion, while American goods do not. The North Atlantic fisheries controversy is of long duration. It took a menacing aspect some years ago and at that time a fisheries commission convened at Wash ington and made a modus vivendi serving as a temporary settlement. The modus is still in operation and under :t Ameri can vessels must pay a license to the Ca nadians for the privilege of transshipping at Canadian ports, taking bait. etc. The license system has proved to be a hard ship and efforts will be made to reach a more satisfactory system. It has been known to the officials here that the Canadian premier comes to Washington desirous of adopting a plan only proposed by Mr. Blaine, viz., that of lumping the controversies into one gen eral settlement, .the details to be settled by a commission representing bdth coun tries. Sir Wilfrid is the more anxious to do this as his administration inherited the controversies from preceding minis tries. He has long been the advocate of the most conciliatory and friendly rela tions with ‘the United States, and now that he has come into power will seek to give this sentiment practical effect. He and his partry are expected to reach New York, tonight, and to come on here, tomorrow. Some of the premier’s closest friends were with the state department, today, arranging for his visit and indi cating the foregoing broad scope of the questions desired to he brought' forward.

United States Supreme Court Denies Writ of Habeas Corpus to the Murderer. Washington. Nov. 8.—The United States supreme court, today, affirmed the de cision of the circuit court for the Cali fornia circuit, refusing a writ of habeas corpus to William Henry Theodore Dur rant, under sentence of death for the murder of Miss Blanche Lamont in San Francisco, in April. 1895. The case has attracted attention throughout the whole of the United States, and today’s decision permits the law to take its course with the con demned man. Chief Justice Fuller an nounced the court's conclusion but made r.o remarks in doing so, save to cite a few authorities on which the court based its decision. JUSr A> EXPECTED.

Sun Francisco, Nov. 8.—The news that tile United States supreme court had de cided not to interfere with the execution of Theodore Durnmt. spread quickly over the city, today. The decision of the su preme court was not unexpected here, and apparently only Durrant ahd his at torneys seemid to have any hope that the murderer would be saved from the gal lows. District Attorney Barnes, who conduct ed the sensational trials, says that Dur rani will not have to he re-sentenced. He said that all that was necessary would be for the district attorney, when he re ceived official notice of the decision, to go into court and ask for an order to proceed w ith the execution and that a day be fixed for it.

The Feature* ol the Day’* Dealings in All the Leading Stechs. New York, Nov. 8.—Prices of stock fluctuated very widely and very easily, traversing range up and down many times in the course of the day. This indicated a feverish tone of the specu lative mind, a readiness to dispose of holdings on a slight intimation of possi ble unfavorable developments and an equally nervous anxiety on the part of short sellers to cover their contracts on any appearance of a hardening tendency in the market. The most formidable event in the day’s happenings so far as any effect on values was concerned was the fur ther postponement of the announce ment of the supreme court’s decision in the Nebraska maximum freight rate case which had been confidently ex pected, today. There lias been assur ance felt In Wall street circles that the verdict in this case would lie favorable to the railroads. The news of the post ponement led to the circulation of ru mors that the verdict would affirm the validity of the contested statute. This rumor induced much selling. Special weakness was Induced also in the Coalers by the very discouraging reports of the condition of that indus try due to over-production, cutting of prices and the persistent mild weather. There was not lacking the stock Span ish war scare, which was,again made to do duty, today. These demoraliz ing factors did not begin to be felt un til some slight improvement over Sat urday's close had been effected in prices, sugar leading the way.

Gorman has not given his messages of condolence to the reporters. Politics has got into a church choir in New York and is not productive of harmony._ 11 was a fitting end to poor old Gor man that he rode into political oblivion on a straddle. Explorer Nansen is now the lion of the hour, and it must be admitted that he is a decided improvement on most of the foreign importations who hat e essayed that roll. The Rev. Mr. Reader was read ou:. Weddings in lion's dens may not be such serious risks as matrimony itself may offer but they do nv>t deserve the sanction of a church. It Is said that Postmaster General Gary is slated as the Republican successor to Gorman in the United States Senate. He would certainly make an excellent addition to that body. _ Croker has gone South in quest of a warmer climate. The disposal of re form according to Tammany ideas ought to alleviate the rigors of the metropolitan climate sufficiently for Mr. Croker. Our Democratic contemporaries have evidently been so busily engaged in shouting over the election result in New York city that the loss of a Uni ted States senator has quite escaped their attention. When such epithets as a druhken hog” and ”a gin shop loafer” enlivejrj the sessions of the Austrian Iteich snath, it is evident that by no means all the decadence in representative bodies is confined to the great Ameri can Republic. Monarehial Europe appears to have a very generous share of it. If Spain 'had shown any disposition to live up to her pledges in the pas', the world would now have consider able more faith in her new born devo tion to reform. History has pretty thoroughly established the fact that, with all his much vaunted "pride and "dignity” the average Spaniard is a constitutional liar. Agitation That Should Hasten Coast Defences. Whatever may be the concensus of opinion relative to the taste displayed by ex-Minister Taylor in making public his opinions of the Cuban situation so soon after returning from the post of American minister at Madrid, it is con clusively shown that he has caused a noticeable amount of agitation. This together with the development of af fairs has already affected stocks and called forth an appeal from the New York chamber of commerce for better protection of the harbor of that com mercial metropolis. While this agitation was undoubtedly exaggerated for speculative purposes there was some ground for it and though the stock market may show slight effects from it for a time, it nevertheless is not allayed and will not lie until there shall be a clearing of the clouds now hanging over that neigh boring island which Spain today is de stroying. Furthermore it must be ap parent that the agitation should be productive of good and may possibly cause grave mischief. In any event it should and we believe Will lend impetus to the effort to put our coast fortifica tions in better condition than they are at present. Mr. Taylor Is of the opinion that when Congress meets one of the first steps tt takes should be one declaring our right and determination to inter vene with our moral influence in the Cuban struggle within a specified time unless the war shall cease or genuine reforms be put in operation, and that this step should be taken unanimously and In such a determined manner that Spain will see the whole country means What it says and may govern herself accordingly. On the other hand unless something shall meantime have arisen to excite the country it is extremely doubtful if we can impress Spain with our unanimity in the matter of inter ference unless Congress shall first have done something to accelerate the coast fortifications and provide artil lerists to man the guns. There can b> no question of the need of this. The most conservative citizen in the land will hardly care to put himself on rec ord as opposed to providing suitable defense for our country when the Is sue is brought home to him. It doe not mean aggression or a spirit of con quest to so fortify our seaports that a Spanish fleet cannot possibly sail into them and either shell a great city into subjection or extort tribute enough to pay the Cuban war debt. ®°me the English newspapers ^>>v^>ears out the state nent. But he will hardly convince th treat business interests of this country hat there would be no danger in the itep he advocates. At best they would shrink from the ordeal which the luctuations of a war scare would in H'i'tably produce. Much more so will hey with our seaports exposed to any onsiderable extent: much more will Spain in a fit of desperate rage be like y to yield to the temptation to light f she thinks there is a possibility of nflieting damage upon us. All must igree with Mr. Taylor that for this •ountry to declare its right and inten don to intervene within a specified time would afford no casus belli for ?pain. We have already given her to iindeistand that we should maintain lur right to interfere under certain conditions but so far as known no one ivith authority has definitely informed the Spanish government of any speci fied limit beyond which we would not remain quiescent. Mr. Taylor, who tike all men is more warlike now that the responsibility has been taken from his shoulders than he was when it rested there, has done a public service in putting the facts concerning Spain's attitude to ward Cuba before this country and the: world in such a clear, convincing and comprehensive light. But he has not, we believe, notwithstanding the ob vious insight he has into the Spanish character relieved the impression quite widespread that bpain is last Retime into the mood of the individual who tuns amuck or the frenzied soldier who rather than he taken alive seeks sui cide by running onto the spears of his foreman. We are inclined to believe this view is somewhat exaggerated in the public mind, and that the opinion of Mr. Taylor to the effect that Spain would not fight is the more probable. But if our government can exert any more "moral influence” than it already has done, it must be by means of unit ed, determined action on the part of Congress, the administration and the great majority of the people, not ex cepting the business interests. It is very doubtful if we can secure such action at best without some hos tile act on the part of Spain first being made. Certainly we cannot without first manifesting a disposition to put ourselves and our fortifications in readiness, and such preparation wo should be humiliated to be without in event of any attempted hostility by Spain. Whatever way we look at it. the conclusion cannot be avoided that we should have adequate defenses and that we cannot have them any too soon. The administration is in a cer tain sense under obligations to give the new Spanish government, in view of the removal of Weyler, a fair time in which to demonstrate the worthlessness of its propositions and attempts, but Congress is under unquestioned obli gations to provide as soon as possible money and men to fortify our de fenses.

It now seems probable that the chief contention of Canada in the sealing conference between this country, Eng land and Canada will be for an in demnity as the price of her assent to a cessation for the present of pelagic sealing. The promptness with which the representatives front Russia and Japan and this country agreed upon efforts to put a temporary end to kill ing of seals in open waters leads Eng land and Canada to reiterate their ex cuse for not joining that conference on the ground that everything was cut and dried between the United States. Russia and Japan,and that they would have been in the minority. It may, however, be regarded in a different light, that the need of a cessation >f pelagic sealing is so obvious that no intelligent nation interested in the pro tection of seal life need hesitate to sub scribe to it. Indeed no investigation, entitled to credence, of this vexing problem has left room to doubt that so long as pelagic sealing is carried on as it now is, and for all that can be seen is likely to be, so long all other at tempts to afford necessary protection to fur seal life will prove futile. At first thought it may seem that Canada should receive some indemnity for she will suffer most aL first from prohibi tion of pelagic sealing. A moment’s reflection, however, clearly shows that if Canada is most affected by measures to prolong the sealing industry she is most concerned in having that indus try saved. Of course, there are con siderations as to the length of the pro posed prohibition of pelagic sealing also as to the purpose of those owning the haunts of the seal relative to tak ing the animals thereon. It is certain that if there ever is to be profitabi pelagic sealing the Canadian scalets and the English firms that prepar. th. skins are as much interested in having it brought about as are any and gen erally speaking it is not plain what good grounds there may be for such a claim as Canada is said to make. However, we may get new light on the subject before the conference begun this week is concluded. One thing ts apparent Canada can no longer grace fully play the part of the dog in tie manger. "What visionary tints the year puts on When falling leaves falter through mo tionless air. Or numbly cling and shiver to be gone. How shimmer the low tlats and pas tures bare.

Judging from the report, evidently given out by the soph himself, he was put through a terrible ordeal. Those reports are us ually exaggerated. In one sen.se of the word his previous act ions probably had invited all he got; nevertheless the fact remains that it cannot be left to a lot of school boys to determine how far hazing shall lie carried and for this reason prohibition of it altogether is the only safe course to adopt. It is noticeable that these careless hunters seldom fail to shoot their man, however, many of the deer may escape them. L/ooks as if they knew something about handling a rifle.

Long life to the editor. At a recent convention of the Hit-or Miss Liars' cluh In a Howdoinham blacksmith shop one man told of a cabbage his father raised that was big as a haystack. A bystander said that reminded him of a boiler he once saw being made. It was so large the work men could not hear the_sound of each ethers hammers. The cabbage liar asked the bolter liar what on earth was wanted of such a big boiler. “Wh> to boil that air cabbage in." The Mow was too much for the anvil which turned red hot In the face and the bel lows collapsed through sheer envy and never will be heard to blow again.

The enterprising young people of Bust Surry have started a society to be known is the East Surry library society, and will devote some time to the study of. Ixmgfellow and his w ritings. Byron H. j Jhatto is president. Josie M. Gray, vice j president. Anna IJ. Stinson, secretary, j uni Susie N. Stinson, treasurer Heniy Peterson and Roland Black of Stroud water, took an original way to aril money for a college education. They went to Florida wnere they bought a ru :.oe and paddled through the canals into Lake Kissimmee and then down the riv -r. Before the season was over they se cured enough neron and egret plumes, j »ird skir.s and alligator hides to pay for j [heir college course. Mubridge is rapidly coming to the front if Washington county towns in the mat- i lit of education, says the Narragaagus Times. The interest manifested in this iireetion is noticeable in the excellent -chool buildings, as well as in the liberal ippropriations that are raised to instruct the young. This year, including the money appropriated by the State, there will be S3.05S.06 expended for this purpose. At a recent meeting of the Knox 1 County Teachers’ Association the fol lowing officers were elected: Pres dent, C. B. Allen of Camden: seen i tary. U. M. Millet of Rockport: execu- tive committee, the president and see- j retary. A. S. Cole of Thomaston: Miss I. R. Lattie of South Thomaston: F. S Walls of Vinalhaven.

Thoinaston begins to have hopes of u public library. The Herald says that when the late George Fuller made his last will he provided that Xliss Jennie Fuller should have the income from his i property as long as she lived, if she re- mained unmarried, but when she died, or married Mr. Melville Libby, the i property was to go to the town of j Thomaston for a public libary. The marriage of Miss Fuller recently gives j the property to the town. The gift will amount to aliout $13,000 and the j benefit derived from that amount placed as the late Mr. Fuller desig- nated will be great, and the town will have a blessing of which it has long been deprived. An Aroostook correspondent in speaking of a coming teachers’ con vention says: "All who can shoul 1 take advantage of the opportunity, as a convention, well conducted on the lines of education, is of great value to live teachers. Those who attend should provide themselves with paper and pencils in order to note down any points of interest that they may have them to ponder over after the conven tion has adjourned. It has been the custom for several years past fib teachers to ignore taking notes, mak ing the conventions merely an outing instead of a school of instruction. The managers should oblige every teacher to take copious notes on the topics presented and remarks hearing on the same as no teacher can grasp and re tain the various points made during the convention.” This year by a change of the consti tution the students' conference hoard pf Colby University, is composed a lit tle differently than formerly and the change is expected to work advanta- I genusly. The old board was composed j pf four from the senior, three from the junior, two from the sophomore and one from the freshmen classes. This J year only one is elected from each class and in addition each division in the dormitories elects one member. Accordingly the following have been i thosen: R C. Richardson, ’U8; 11. S. 1 Brown, ’sit; \Y. G. Hooke. 1900. from tile c lasses: N. K. Fulton. '99. H. H. Bishop, ’99. H. L. Corson. '9S. C. E. G. Shannon. '99. from the divisions in the dormitories. The fatuity members of the conference board are the same as last year. Pres. Butler, Profs. Taylor and Stetson. There has been a real class in botany at the center school. Jefferson, this 1'aM. George E. Ldnscott. teacher. In a few schools the pressing of leaves, etc., are given sonic attention, but in this school (lowers anti plants were studied in con nection with tile text book. Tile class has analyzed more than twenty wild flowers alone and as many more with a little aid from the teacher. These were brought from field, pasture or woods and were wholly unknown, but by the in struction given by teacher and knowl edge of the text lnxik they ascertained the names themselves and have written a description of each and pressed and mounted the specimens very artistically, besides have learned the characteristics of fa miliar plants that they knew noth ing of before. Some say "spring is the time to study botany." This class found all tile wild (lowers they needed to the close of the term, and besides they are now able and qualified to begin with the tirst flowers next spring and go on all summer alone. This class also studied arithmetic, algebra. 1'. S. history, read ing. spelling, grammar and composition. The following paragraphs from the last report of Superintendent Irving shows how they prepare their teachers in Itocl lund: For some time it has been ous tomary for some of our high school gr*r nates to observe for a short time. one term to three, in the rooms of (J best teachers, then they have been git* a school of their own. Occasions*! these observers have been paid three nor lars per week. A large number of ,iur primary teachers received their training in this way. Many of them have shown marked ability and may be called sue ccssfui teachers; but on the whole this system Is very unsatisfactory and in t“® long run will have a deleterious effect upon our schools. The fundamental pan* rip-le is wrong, for the evils in our schools are just as liable to lie observed, copie» and perpetrated as the good points. This year a little effort has been made to set some of the lead tendencies by recth ing only four observers from the ten o twelve candidates, having them give year's lime without pay in observing tin' study, and giving them each a ycar* subscription to some teacher's journa and also two or three books on teaching upon which they will probably be ex amined." Tile famous old oak tree at Wisca* set. which is mentioned so often in th« stories and speeches of Chief Justiie Peters, is said to have borne an es pecially fine crop of acorns this year.

F. A. Small, Stenographer. A. L. McFadden, Sheriff. Augusta, Nov. S. The eases of Wm. A. Hall vs. Arthur P. Sawtell, and Arthur P. Sawtell com plainant vs. Wm. A. Hall were taken up this morning before the presiding judge. Heath Andrews appear for Hall and F. L. Staples and J. F. C. .Lit tle for Sawtell. The ease which Hall brings is a writ of entry to foreclose two mortgages. That brought by Saw telle is a bill in equity in which the com plainant seeks to redeem the real estate from a levy upon the equity of redemption from the mortagages which are included in the bill in equity. The chief contest was over the bill in equity, in the writ of entry the Judge entered judgment for Hall, and assessed the amount due on the mortgages at $‘2283.25. The equity suit is held under advisement. The court heard the testimony on the petition of Alger V. Currier for a review in the case of Samuel Currier vs. Alger V. Currier, administrator. F. L. Staples appeared for the petitioners and Heath -l i f his coming to the I'nited S-iates, and a man was sent to this country, evi dently to murder him. In several cit ies, where Captain Lane visited, he saw the same man following him, and therefore was on his guard. One night, while walking upon a back street in f hiladelphia. he was attacked by the Spaniard, who struck at hint with a knife. Lane threw up his left arm in defense, and received a cut lengthways of it. otherwise, the blow might have proved fatal. The assailant escaped, although Captain Lane made every ef fort -to capture him. Some of the sto ries that he related, about his adven tures, were better than the ordinary novel. At one time, Captain Lane was sent upon a mission in Havana, and to get the information he desired, he was obliged to go into a ball room, where there were many Spanish offi cers. One of these officers recognized the captain, and immediately made the fact known, that a Cuban spy wav in the room. For a few moments it looked black for Lane, as every door way was filled with soldiers, but j through one of the groups he charged fearlessly and gained the outside of ihe building, and disappeared with nt being injured in any way. Lnng Kuro will prevent pneumonia. Mrs. H. P. Baldwin, widow of the late ex-Governor Baldwin of Detroit. Mich., arrived in the city, Monday j afternoon, to visit relatives. There is a popular miscon j ception to the effect that corpulent people are healthy people. In a large percent age of cases this is a mis take. Corpulent peo pie suffer from ill e^VY-s health just as much. CvxiKy mid sometimes people. Like thin people they suf fer from illnesses and disorders that are caused s) by indigestion 'and torpidity of the liver. There is a sure and speedy rem edy for ills of this description. It i-. Doctor Pierce’s Golden Medical who need this medicine have failed to take it because of its world-wide reputation a_s a blood-maker and flesh-builder. They im agine because it has an established reputa tion for building up the flesh and strengui ening emaciated people, that it will make corpulent people more corpulent. This is a misconception. The “Golden Medical Discovery” builds firm, healthy flesh but does not raise the weight above a natural normal figure. Unlike cod liver oil it does not make soft, flabby flesh. It builds solid, healthy flesh but tears down and ex cretes the weak, half-dead tissues that con stitute corpulency. It makes the appetite keen, the digestion perfect, the liver acti\c. the blood pure and the nerves steady. It cures all blood and skin diseases.
