BEAL CONFESSES. Admits Putting Strychnine in His Father’s Whiskey. Claims He Wanted Only to Cure Father of Drinking Habit. Mystery of the Clinton Patricide at Last Solved. Thomaston, Me., May 9.—Charles L. Beal, who is serving a life sentence at the Maine State prison for poisoning his father, C. C. Beal, at Clinton, in Kennebec county, Feb. 14, 1SSS, has made a confession, in which lie states that while he admits having put syt'rehnine into his father's whiskey, he did it thinking it would cure his father of drinking and not for an instant sus pecting it would cause his death. The confession is as follows: To the good people of my native State, Maine: It is with a contrite heart that I sub mit to you a true confession of the crime for which I stand convicted. An 1 I a«k you all to try to judge me as you would wish to be judged under like conditions. I was convicted in 1S88 of wilfully poisoning my own father. I am guilty of a great wrong, lint not guilty of wilfully causing his d-ath. My chances of pardon on grounds of innocence are said to be good; and. although I miss this chance and have to end my days in a lonely cell. I will speak at all cost. I believe it my duty to my fellow men to state the truth. T alone am guilty of this great wrong, neither my brother nor anyone else had any knowledge of the afTair. "With no intentions ..f crime or wrong doing. I unwittingly caused my father’s death. May God forgive me! It came about thus: For a few years previous to my father's ileath, he had been drinking t excess; his usually careful business methods were becoming slack, and his extensive business less profitable. I was hut a lad in the experience of the world outside of the little town in which I resided,. And my father’s habit of drinking was a matter of great con cern to mo, as well as to each memb of my family. Often X found my beloved mother hi tears; many and earnest wi re the prayers slur sent to our Heav enly Father that my father might be delivered from the curse of drink, hut the habit grew worse. His reformation had been the topic of family consulta tion: various remedies and methods had been mentioned, including adver tisements for liquor and tobacco habits. I think there was mention about this time of something which could bo placed in his tea or coffee, and cure j him without his knowing anything had been done.- I am not. sure that any thing of this kind hail been tried. Ivly young brain was active in the matter, for I strongly desired to euro my father. We employed many men in our busi ness, and I had often heard them talk of drinking anil ways ar.tj means to cure this habit. Among other things I had heard that “strychnine whiskey” was a sure cure. With this story, I went to my old confidant. He was an old barber who was ever rc-ady to ad vise us youngsters on any subject un der the sun. He told me that “strych nine whiskey” would cause one never to want to taste liquor again. “But for my part,” said he, “I had rather have Hall’s I.iniment.” Without a suspicion that this drug was poisonous, l resolved to procure and try it. 1 did so. and Ood pity me! You all know the result. It has wrecked my life, brought misery and poverty to those I dearly love and de prived me and my loved ones of ft kind and indulgent father and frier.d. Cheat has been mv suffering in soli tary confinement where the loneness of soul through dreary years has been a constant agony, and the pangs of re morse a dragging chain about about my neck. Hearing that evidence is arcumulat ing that wrongs my brother, X at last find courage for his sake to reveal all. If I had only taken some intelligent friend into my confidence, this youth ful error might have been prevented, lint, like most hoys. T was something of a'fool and thought I knew it all.

PORTLAND NAVAL RESERVES Take a Trip Inland and Capture the City of Lewiston. Lewiston, Mo., May 9.—The Portland Nava! Reserves antured the town, last night, and their drill and ball was a success tar beyond their proudest an ticipations. Tin- special train carrying the Reserves and their friends, arrived at Lewiston upper station at (1.05. There was a party of 125 on the train includ ed in the number being Adjutant Gen eral Farnham, Lieut. Col. Collins and Lieut. L> loly of Col. Kendall’s stuff. At the train to welcome the Portland boys i and their guests wore Mayor Gillicud dy and Gen. Hoyt of the Governor’s staff. Gen. Farnham, Col. Collins and Lieut. Dooly were given seats in car riages along with the mayor and Gen. I Hoyt and drove down to Huymarket square. The Naval Reserves, under command of Lieut. Rigelow, were escorted by Co." I to the square, where there wa's a crowd of several thousand people to greet them. The Reserves dashed into the square in spectacular style amid the most enthusiastic cheering. Here they gave a drill with their Gatling and one-pound gun, burning 500 rounds of ammunition. The square had been previously cleared by the police to al low the men ample room for their maneuvres. An infantry drill followed the artillery drill. The people were sir ply delighted with the snappy exercise of the Port land men and the cheers almost drowned out tire noise of the artillery pieces. After the drill the command was mareheil to City hall, where the men broke ranks for supper. At the ball in the evening the re serves scored another success. There were fully ROO people present, including the officers of the Lewiston and Auburn companies and several Hath officers. The dulls given were new to most of the people present and were enthusias tically applauded. They were the riot drill, artillery drill, setting up drill, sin gle click exercises and wall scaling. 1 The 2T men went over the 9-foot wall i in marvelously quick time. Following the drill there was dancing and the ro mainder of the evening was most j pleasantly spent. It was one of the most successful military events in the history of Lewiston.

Eighteen Vessels, Including Four American, Lost Willi Ail Hands—United States Consul and Family Dead -Enormous Property Loss. Washington, May 9.—The following cablegram has just been received at the state department: ‘Toint-a-Pitre, May 0, 1902. “At 7 o'clock A. M. on the Sth Inst., a storm of steam, mud and fire en veloped the city of St. Pierre, Mar tinique, and community. Not more than 20 persons escaped with their lives. “Eight*. n vessels were burned and sunk with till on board, including four American vessels and a steamer from Quebec named Roraima. “The I'nited States consul and family are reported among the victims. “A war vessel has come to Guade loupe for provisions and will leave at 5 tomorrow. (Signed) “AYME, Consul.” The state department has been re ceiving dispatches from commercial houses in New York asking that a war shit* he sent at once to Martinique to afford relief. The matter is under con sideration. The consul at Martinique is Thomas T. Prentiss of Melrose, Mass. He was boro in Michigan and was appointed from Massachusetts ns consul at Se chelles Islands in 1871 and later served as consul at Port Louis, Mauritius, Rouen, France, and Batavia.

OVER 40,000 DEAD, Disaster One of Worst the World Has Ever Known. San Juan de Porto Pico, May 0.—The cable officials here have received ad THE J. P.’S DECISION. He Sums Up the Coffee Case. Judge xv. XV. Bowen of Creeds, Va„ announces himself as a “reformed coffee toper" and gives authority to make the following public statement. “For years the roffee habit had been growing on me until my condition was getting serious. I have considerable writing to do and had become so nerv ous that 1 had to depend almost entire ly upon my wife to do the writing. Sometimes wh ?n it was imperative that I sign my name my hand trembled so I could scarce do it. “I had severe headaches, stomach trouble, heart trouble, also some rheu matism. A friend, Rev.-, one day sent me a package of Postum Coffee with request that I give up coffee and make a fair trial of Postum. “I took the advice and the headaches ceased, also the stomach trouble. I now have no heart trouble at all except when I use coffee for a time. My old nervousness is a thing of the past. “My wife also suffered for years with heart trouble and extreme nervousness. She lias found relief by leaving otf coffee and using Postum. We now think it a much better drink than cither coffee or tea. I have known of a number of cases that have been en tlri Iy cured or gToatly benefited by leaving off coffee and using the new beverage, Postum.” vices from the island of Dominca that a schooner which has arrived there from the Island of Martinique reports that over 40,000 people are supposed to have perished during the volcanic dis turbance in Martinique. The cable repair steamer Grappler was lost with all handsduring the erup tion of Mont Pelee at St. Pierre, Mar tinique. The Grappler was one of the first ships to disappear. GLIMPSES OF HELL” Is the Way the Survivors Describe the Scene. London, May 9.—A dispatch to the Po-uter Telegram Co., from Kingston, Jamaica, after giving the details of the Martinique disaster already known "Thousands were killed at St. Pierre, where a terrible panic prevailed. The eruption began, Saturday, May 3, when St. Pierre was covered with ashes and appeared to be enveloped in fog. The flow of lava continued until Wednes day, May 7.” The message adds: “In the island of St. Vincent the Soufriore (volcano) is active and earthquakes arc frequent, l’ut so far no damage lias been done.” In response to the request of Gov. Llewllyn (of the Windward islands) the P.ritish second-class cruiser Inde fatigable h is been dispatched from the island of Trinidad to the island of St. Vincent by way of St. Luc.la. A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Pointe-a-Pitre, Island of Guadaloupe, (French West Indies), dated, yesterday, says: “The Mont Pelee crater ejected, yesterday, molten rocks and ashes dur ing three minutes and completely de stroyed St. Pierre qnd the districts within a four-mile radius. All the in habitants were burned.” "About eight passengers from the Itoraima (of Ihe Quebec Steamship Line) were saved by the French cruiser Suthet. “Tile inhabitants of the southern districts of the island who were de dependent upon St. Pierre for provis ions are manaeed by famine.” A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Jamaica says: “The first intimation of a disaster (at Martinique) was the breaking of the cables. Tuesday. The French cable to Martinique from Puer to Plata was broken, Wednesday. Cable communication with all the northern islands is stopped. “The survivors of the British steam er Roddatn describe the scene at St. Pierre as being ‘glimpses of hell’ beg I garing description. The Roddam's men were killed ehielly by molten lava. “The Roraima was wrecked in a ter rible upheaval of land and sea. The whole crew perished. “Two ships were lost with ail on board in an attempt to approach Mar tinique.” AID BEING SENT. All Available Boats at Fort de France Dispatched to Scene.

Paris. May 9.—Tin1 colonial minister, M. DeCrais, received, this morning, two ca ble messages from the secretary general j of the government of Martinique, sent respectively at 5 P. M. and 10.30 P. M.. yesterday. The earlier cable reported that the wires were broken between Fort Do France and St. Pierre, but, it was added. In view of reports that the eruption of Mont Pelee had wiped out the town of St. Pierre, all the boats available at Fort D> France were dispatched to the assistance of the inhabitants at that place. The second dispatch confirmed the re ports of the destruction of St. Pierre and its environs and shipping by a rain of fire, ami said it was supposed that the whole population had been annihilated with the exception of a few injured per sons rescued l>y the cruiser Suchet. Immediati ly after the receipt of the above dispatches the Hag over the colo nial office was draped with crape and hoisted at half-mast. Senator Knight, who is ref. rred to in the dispatch from Paris as having prob ably been at St. Pierre at the time of the disaster, is the president of the genera, council or local legislative body of the island of Martinique. WRAPPED IN FLAMES. French Cruiser Suchet Saw Disaster and Saved Few Survivors. Paris, May 9.—The commander of the French cruiser Such, t has telegraphed to the minister of marine, M. DeBanep san, from Fort de France, Island of Martinique, under date of Thursday, May 8, at 10 P. M., as follows: “Have just returned from St. Pierre, which has been completely destroyed by an immense mass of tire, which fell on the town at about 8 in the morning. The entire population (2a.000 souls) is supposed to have perished. I have brought hack the few survivors, about £0. All the shipping in the harbor has been destroyed by lire. The eruption continues.” The commander of the Suchet reports that at 1 o’clock, Thursday, the entir town of St. Pierre was wrapped \in flames. He endeavored to save abo\it 2a persons, more or less burned, from the; vessels in the harbor. His officers went ashore in boats seeking for survivors, but were unable to penetrate the town. They saw heaps of bodies upon the wharves and it is be lieved that not a single person resident in St. Pierre at the moment of the catastrophe escaped. The governor of the colony and his staff colonel and wife were in St. Pierre and probably perished. The extent of the catastrophe cannot he imagined. The captain of the British steamer rtoddam was very severely injured and is now in the hospital at St. Burins. All of his officers and engineers are dead or dying. Nearly every member of the crew is dead. Supercargo Campbell and 10 of the crew of the Ttoddam jumped overboard at St. Pierre and were lost. The commander of the French cruiser Suchet, recently at Fort de France, has been ordered to return to St. Pierre, Martinique, with all the speed possible, and to forward details of the disaster to the French government. He cannot, however, be heard from for 24 hours, as the Suchet has gone to the island of Ouadeloupe In order to obtain pro visions. It is feared that M. B. Mouttet, the governor of Martinique, has perished.

Paine's Celery Cumpound Was Her deliverer from Nervous Prostration, Insomnia, Mental Depression, and Weakness of Her Digestive Organism. A Special Message of Comfort for Sick and Despondent Women. Mrs. F. T,. Bernhardt, 3S2 Newbury St., Boston Mass., found herself in an xtremely perilous condition of health after a surgical operation. Her tomb ins story, written for the benefit of other sufferers, is as follows: "ft is with a feeling: of extreme ('latitude and thankfulness and a hu mane desire to benefit others, that I write out my own experience in the use of Prof. Edward E. Phelps’ won derful preparation, called Paine’s Cel ery Compound. Owing to a fall from a horse several years ago I became a nervous invalid, and last year I en tered a hospital where 1 was operated upon by a famous New York surgeon. The surge al operation was success ful, but nervous prostration followed. A summer in Newport with the best medical attendance failed to restore my nerves to their normal condition. I was absolutely unable to digest any solid food, and this weak condition of my digestive organs, combined with insomnia, caused the deepest depres sion. A constant tenderness and sore ness in the region of my stomach with a dull headache and extreme weakness, i routed a feeling of helplessness from which I was unable to rise. ’’It was in this melancholy frame of mind that 1 chanced to meet a Poston lawyer who said to me, T was in al most the condition that you are now iti, and after spending hundreds of dollars without receiving any benefit 1 was in duced by a friend to give Paine’s Cel ery Compound a trial, which I did, and it cured me completely when every thing else had failed.’ "I was rather skeptical about trying a patent medicine, but I ordered a bot tle from my druggist and began to take it according to directions. Much to my surprise, 1 slept soundly at night, and did not awake in the morning with the usual dull headache. Then, too, I de veloped an appetite for solid food, and soon I was able to digest a course din ner without any unp'loasant sensations. I am now completely restored to health after about two months’ use of the Compound. "Sympathising with all who may he suffering as 1 did. I take this m r erock! Never fade. He telegraphed, May 7. that he was proceeding to St. Pierre. Senator Knight is also supposed to have been at St. Pierre. M. Hougenot, ft sugar planter of the island of Martinique, received a cable dispatch, this morning, from Port de France, sent by the manager of the Frnncaise factory, announcing that lie had “tried to reach St. Pierre, but found the coast covered with ashes and the town enveloped In dust and it could not land."

May 9.—With the exception of a dispatch repeating the news brought to the Island of St. Lucia, yes terday afternoon, by the firitish steam er Koddam. which announced the total destruction of the town of St. Pierre, island of Martinique by a volcanic eruption, the English merchants and shippers here having trade relations with Martinique have received no di rect news of the catastrophe.

A former resident of St. Pit rro, now n this city, says there wire about 1004 white people among the inhabitants of the destroyed town. The colonial office here has received a dispatch from Sir Robert Llewellyn, governor of the Windward islands in the Carribean sea. dated from Kings ton, St. Vincent, yesterday, in which the governor says that the Soufriere volcano in the northwestern part of the island of St. Vincent, .continued in ac tivity. Earth shocks had recurred for a week past, hut not actually in Kings ton. n Wednesday a big cloud of steam hang over the Soufriere and the inhabi tant!.. which were greatly alarmed, v. *re Hoi king to Chateau Belair. There v. re already 30 refugees there, who were h ing f ‘d by the authorities. P. M. At this hour London is quite cut off from communication with the island .if Martinique. The cable com; anies have received nothing ex cept vague messages raying the cable is interrupted, owing to the volcanic eruption. The colonial office is without word from Martinique except that a grave disaster, the extent of which is not mentioned, has occurred and the re ceipt of a repetition of the steamer lloddnm’s news. The belief now exists that the British West Indian islands of Dominica and St. Vincent have also suffered severely. All messages to these islands are sent at sender’s risk and no cipher disp.-p li es are accepted. It is expected that possibly news will "reach England, to (night, throiftth steamers arriving at j ports in the other V. est Indian islands. PORTLAND LOSERS. J. H. Hamlin Co. Had Extensive In terests in Martinique. Portland. Me.. M «.y ft.—An eng the heavy losers in property by the extirpa tion of the city of s;. Pierre, Martini cue. are J. H Hamlin Co. of this city. who had a large branch office there. .1. j C. Hamlin, the junior member of the j firm said, today: j “While our actual property loss will i be confined to the value of our office I building, an inure stone structure i on Hue Pettit Versailles, it naturally strikes indirectly at our large business iUi tile island through that port of en try. At this time we fortunately had no shipping at St. Pierre, all our ves sels having discharged, their cargoes and sailed from the port. This, how ever, is but an after consideration. The catastrophe itself is something terrible to contemplate." Probably no man in the United States had a wider acquaintance in St. Pierre and in fact on the whole island, than J. H. Hamlin, the senor member of ihe firm. For nearly half a century he had been in trade with ihe island and maintained a branch house at St. Pier re. and for more than 40 years he had spent tiie winters in that city. This year he resided in a house about two miles from the city, owing to an epi demic of smallpox and when the disease assumed alarming proportions two or three weeks ago he started for England with his daughter. To this fact, they undoubtedly owe their lives as the house where they resided probably was destroyed by the flood of fire that de vastated the city. Mr. Hamlin and his daughter now are on route home from England. The younger Mr. Hamlin also had spent a gr at part of his life on the southern island and had many relatives and friends in the ill fated city. When the early cablegram from the com mander of the French cruiser Suchet came today, confirming the alarming reports of last night, he said: “Heyond a question this is one of tb|d**r, which was en gaged in repairing1 tin*- cable near the Guerin factory.

When the session con cluded President Mitchell prepared i statement and assembling- the news paper men read to them as follows: "To the Anthracite Mine Workers of Pennsylvania: "Gentlemen—The executive commit tee of the anthracite mine workers who were delegated by the shamokin con vention to represent you ill the nego tiations with the railroad presidents and mine operators for the purpose of obtaining increased wages. shorter hours and better conditions of employ ment. have exhausted all peaceable, conciliatory and honorable means at their command and have failed to se i ure any concessions of a tangible na ture. and while under the resolutions adopted by the Shamakin convention, authority was vested in the executive ommittee should they fail in the ne gotiations to inaugurate a strike at whatever time in their judgment held out the greatest promise of success, the committees after three days' serious de liberation feel that in justice to the anthracite mine workers and those de pendent upon them, before a general strike is inaugurated, the question should bo further considered by a defe gate convention, in which representa tives from the various local unions shall be fullv instructed by their constituents and prepared to vote in favor of or in opposition to a complete cessation of work. In »he meantime all persons em ployed in nr around the collieries, strippings, washeries and breakers are instructed to temporarily abstain from working, beginning with May 12 and continuing thereafter until a final de cision is reached by a delegate conven tion.'which will convene, May 14, at Hnsleton. "The basis of representation in this convc nllon shall be one vote for each 100 members and one vote for each ad ditional 100 members. "The instructions for all men to sus pend work. Monday, does not include firemen, engineers, pump men and other labor necessary to preserve the prop erties of the operators." There is not a particle of question but that the miners will religiously obey the order and that on Monday next not so much as a shovelful of coal will be mined in the Lackawanna valley. Philadelphia, May 9.—President Georgo F. Baer of the Philadelphia Heading Railroad Co., refused to make any com ment when lie was informed by The As sociated Press, tonight, that the miners' representatives at Scranton had decided to call a general strike to begin Monday. He did not appear to he in the least dis turbed. it is not unlikely that he will be In command of the Operators' side of tti<* struggle. idlMMif THE LAWRENCE STRIKE.

Addrraa nil cominnnicntlou relating to subscriptions and advertisements to BURLEIGH FLYNT. Publishers, Augusta, Maine._ Paul Leicester Ford. It was with a great shock that the world learned of the tragic death of lhat brilliant and popular young writer, Paul Leicester Ford. It seemed so ter rible that nis life should be taken by the hand of his brother. Malcolm Ford, who as a champion athlete and a writer on athletic subjects, had won u fame but little less wide, evi n though much less enduring, than his own. The story of the tragedy had no new elements in it: one brother left with wealth, the other disinherited; a demand for money and a refusal; quick temper and a quarrel; murder and suicide. Such is the substance of the dispatches from that beautiful and happy New 1 ork home to which the author took his bride, a year ago. What an unspeak able pity the “Finis" should be written in blood, and that, too, before the hook was completed. It is a grim coincidence that three of our leading American authors should die within a few days of each other. But unlike Stockton and Harte. Paul Leicester Ford was a young man. He had hardly attained the prime of life, and seemingly many years rich with promise stretched before him. Frank It. Stockton's age was 6S, that of Brel liarte was *’>3. while Ford was only 37. That Ford was one of the most popular and successful novelists of the day. need hardly lie said. Few novels have been more widely read than Peter Stirling" and “Janice Meredith." Of his permanent place in American liter ature it is rash at this time to speak. But we cannot believe that “Peter Stir ling” with its strong alid inspiring cen tral character, will tie forgotten; nor that “The Story of an Untold Love." one of the daintiest, sweetest, prettiest love stories ever penned, will soon cease to appeal to the heart. “Janice Meredith." most popular of ids work::, also the most criticized, was one of the first of the sehool of American histori cal fiction now having such a run. It had many charms and much to com mend it as a literary work, but tbe weakness in the delineation of the heroine was apparent even to those who most enjoyed the story. li was an ambitious novel, hut we have faith that ill the maturity of List powers the au thor would have written a stronger and more enduring one. “The Great K. A. Train Robbery” is a clever story of Western adventure, and “Tattle Tales of ('u| ill" are breezy and entertaining sketches. Along lives purely histori cal and biographical he had also done notable work. Physically deformed and never healthy or robust, he had many obsta cles lo overeome and his patience and persistence won him success where most would have failed. What works he had in preparation tit the time of his death, we do not know, but it is safe to assume that he was busy and had much planned out to do. His untimely death is a national loss and a blow to our literature. The Destruction of St. Pierre. I low many readers skim over tie despatches with1 but little comprehen sion of the vastness of that calamity in the West Indies. R is not in our country, we say. i1 is far off. l’.ut when we stop to consider Unit a city larger than Tiangor or lr-wiston, almost as large as IWllsilt.l. it; liccn blotted from tlic map I;, a volcanic eruption, and practically a'l Hie inhabitants killed, we g.-t ••.nine idea of the awful extent of the visitation and the terrible suffering and involved. If Ameri can craft h a to have been among the shlppio' e. .alloyed in the harbor the blue ..,11 come closer home. 1‘otnpiii. f \.ltose destruelion in simi lar fastiioo. over IS centuries ago, so much has been written, was only a country village in comparison with St. l’ierre. )nly a few’ times in all re corded history lias there been such loss of life and property by volcanic agency. The full details will be anxiously awaited. tit. Pierre is, or, perhaps we should say was, the leading sea port of Mar tinique. This island which was dis covered l>y Columbus in 1502, is a French por,session and is one of the lesser Antilles. It Is a mountainous island of about 400 miles area, or about half the size of Kennebec county. The chief product is sugar. The population Is about 200.000. the greater part of whom are negroes and half-castes. Mt. Price, whose eruption destroyed St. Pierre, has been regarded as an extinct volcano. Its altitude is given as 4.430 feet. The population of St. Pierre is variously given front 23.000 to 30.000, and there seems little doubt that nearly all perished and probably thousands of ethers in the surrounding section. Tlie “antis" will never, never forgive President Roosevelt for not stopping the “water cure” several months be fore its existence had been heard of in this country. The Great American Novel. How often a book just out, or about to be publish1''!, has born hailed l>y its critics or its zealous atlvanee agents as "the (treat American novel." It is not hard to rec all a dozen sue h within the ]>ast few years. Oil. Harvey of the great publishing house of Harper’s is now in Kngland, and in tin interview on this subject he declared “The great American novel will never be written, because the great republic is too grout for the grasp if a single writer, and the embrace- of the covers of a two dullar-flfty book.” This is one way of looking at it. Another would have been for Oil. Harvey to have asked liis. in terviewers in turn, When was the [great English novel written?” Indeed, v. h* !i w as ilio giv;it nove l of any coun try written, if we mean by its great iiov*’l one comprehending its diBtinciiv* haraci rs and customs? There is no single novel of Kngland or Krainr or iermany or Russia that on«- ail it a ml feel that it meets these require ments. Why then should one x I e ss in "Ricliartl 'av vel" ami "The Crisis.*’ It was written in "Peter Stirlin.it" and "Janice Mn-e ilith" by the one whose gentle ami beautiful life has dosed so tragically, and who now lies eold ami pulseless in death, slain by a brother's hand. Ii was written in "The Octopus.” ill "it- I ifork." in "Alice of Old Vincennes,'' in 'The Reign of I.aw" and in tunny another good novt of Americiti life published in recent years. These art the great American novel, and then will he many others in the years to route. It is not true to say tin re liar, been no great novels written just b. cause there was never born to litera ture, in this or any other land, a genius v.bn eoultl epitomize in a single voiunm all the eu-touts, characteristics, types and thoughts of a nation.

57TH CONGRESS Statehood for Oklahoma, Ari zona and New Mexico Is Indorsed by the House—Delegate Smith Stricken on Floor, Effort to Secure Vote on Philippine Bill Fails in the Senate.

Washington, May 9.—The opposition in the House to the bill for the ad mission of Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico collapsed at the last minute, today, and the bill was passed with out division as it came from the eom niittee except for a few verbal amend ments. The real test came on an amendment offered by Overstreet of Indiana, to join New Mexico and Ari zona and admit them as the state of Montezuma. It was beaten, 28 to 10G and all opposition then ceased. The closing scenes of the debate wore accompanied by a dramatic in i' dent which narrowly escaped being a tragedy. Delegate Mark A. Smith of Arizona, who lias been lighting for the admission of his territory for a dozen rears, had just made a vigorous speech against the Overstreet amendment when he was seized with a rush of blood lit the head. He. was conveyed to the lobby, where several physicians* who are meipbers of the House, by the prompt administration of powerful head stimulants saved him from ;t stroke of apoplexy. He later rallied and was removed to his hotel. Tie- lull provides enabling acts for Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico, similar in form to former enabling acts, with the exception that the ron siiiuiional convention of New Mexico' is empnweml to designate the name by which the new state shall enter the t tiion and in the case of Oklahoma,! the convention by irrevocable ordi nance shall express the consent of that state that Congress at any future time may attach all or any part of Indian Territory to it. The latter part of the session was devoted to private pension bills, XT of which were passed. IN THE SENATE. Effort to Secure Philippine Vote Was Unsuccessful. Washington. May !».—An effort was mad*- in the Senate to fix a time for a voti* on the pending Philippine hill, but it was unsuccessful. Th*k minority said many senators still desired to speak on the measure and it would not be proper to determine at this time upon a vote. Today’s dehate on tho# Philippine bill was mild.

Walker of Massachusetts, denying the truth of the recent dispatch crediting hint with making certain statements regarding the treatment of Filipinos. The President has recognized the fid lowing foreign consular officers: G. J 0 barrels of alcohol are used weekly. This so-called cure sells for one dollar a bottle. The hot ties hold less than a pint. If the mixture was made up of one-half alco hol. it would require Ifin.OOrt bottles a week to dispose of this weekly con sumption of alcohol. These are facts which make it easy to understand to what proportion alcohol is used to pro duce an intoxicating compound sold under false pretences as “medicine.” Dangerous as such a preparation is to the health and morals of the people, it is made many times more so by the addition of nt rye-deadening and poisonous drugs—narcotics and opiates used because they produce an im mediate effect regardless of the fact that they are injurious in the ex treme. Preparations of this kind find their way into homes where temperance is preached, and where intemperance is looked upon with horror. It is not diffi cult to understand how; under these cir cumstances home influence and wise teaching is undermined, and the ap petite for alcohol and strong drink created. Then, too, the opium, mor phine, cocaine and other opiates, (used' in these preparations because they temporarily paralyze the functions of the nerves), destroy the entire nervous rystt in :ui«! wreck tin* brain. They do more, they are responsible for creating the deadly drug habit. which has on si ived as mental and physical wrecks, thousands of unfortunates. Nearly all patent medicines and so called cough tuiis depend for their f fty-t upon some form of these drugs. That is one reason why do. tors are op posed to patent medicines. Il is a good reason, too. when victims of the deadly drug habit are crowding the sanitariums and insane asylums. tVc repeat that those selling these Sn ead.d “inimi'diate relief'' remedies, stimulants disguised under I ho name of tin lie ine should be compelled by law to print the formula on each package tell ing what it contains.

(Continued from page 1.) i 1 thus it was that I tokl no one of my in I tentions except the druggist, thinking it would be a pleasant surprise for my mother to know that I all by myself had cured father of drinking. I told the druggist just what I wanted the strychnine for—to make father sick and break him of drinking. He seemed to think this a huge joke for he laughed and said he had none of that kind. So 1 procured it elsewhere. I did not ask him whether it was poisonous for I hadn't a suspicion that it was. But 1 i had considerable talk with him about it. and think 1 told him that an old friend of mine had told me it was a sure cure for the drinking habit. As 1 look hack now. I plainly see that lie thought I was joking, for he spoke in a bantering mood, and gave me to un derstand from what lie did say and what he did not say. that the drug was harmless, and that one would never drink anymore liquor after having it mixed with strychnine. I was careful to ask him liow much I ought to use. and lie told me point blank, and this was 1)is testimony ;it my trial, that one could take as much strychnine us he could salts. As the chemist s analysis will show. I did not use more than half as much as one would take of salts, for 1 did not want to make him too sick till 1 hud seen how it worked. Can you imagine my anquish when 1 learned that my father had died of poison administered by me! Can any man who must have once been a boy believe I slew no' own father in cold blood! If so lie lias evil in own heart. un hearing of my father's death I was on the point of making a clean breast of the whole boyish mistake; but something bid me consult my old con fidant. I told all to him and blamed him for my trouble. He was fright ened, thinking no doubt that he would be connected with the affair, anditold mi' never so long us I lived to tell a living soul, “for,'’ said he, 'if you do they will hang you." Shortly after 1 was locked in jail and surrounded by men who patted me on the back and told me to stick to my story whether it was true or not and i would be all right. 1 lied to every one, and in this lie 1 fey strychnine poisoning, exclaiming between the convulsions: “j>—(i critters—poisoned—poisoned— boys.” Tis son Charles C. was later arrested for tbe crime, tried before Judge m. p. Whitehouse in the Kennebec super ior court, found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to life im prisonment at Thomas ton. The strychnine was put into a pint flask of whiskey which the chirr Heal kept in the cellar of liis store in Clin ton. Charles's younger brother (Jeorge also took a drink of the whiskey but j did not get enough of th" poison to prove fatal. C. Beal was a general trader in j the town of Clinton and in addition i (inducted a hoop pole shop w here he j employed several men. His son j (Jeorge w as his book-kecjier and clerk. Charles did the trucking and delivery of goods. Woodbury S. Itixon also clerked in the store. About live weeks before his death Beal had a barrel of whiskey shipped to him from a Boston firm,. The whiskey was in brown pint flasks packed in sawdust. Beal put the barrel down cellar at the store and the evidence shows that from the latter part of the afternoon to closing time at night he visited the cellar pretty of ten. The hoys also went below once in a while, sometimes taking a drink or two and sometimes taking a I Kit tie or two. Charles said the whiskey was very bad anil tokl several people that if his father drank it r.li it j would kill him. The boys were afraid 1 their father would suspect them of raid ing his barrel, so they sometimes tilled I the bottles up with water after taking (a drink, and when they helped them DAN GROSVENOR SAYS: “Peruna is an Excellent Spring Catarrh Remedy—I am as Well as Ever.” HON. DAN. A. GROSVENOR, OF THE FAMOUS OHIO FAMILY. Hon. Pan. A. Grosvenor, Deputy Auditor for the War Department, in a letter Written from Washington, D. t\, says: Allow me to express my gratitude to you for the benefit derived from one bottle of Peruna. One week has brought wonderful changes end I am now as well as ever. Besides being one of the very best spring tonics it is an excellent catarrh remedy. DAM. A. GROSVENOR. In a recent letter lie say3: consider Peruna really more meritorious than f did when I wrote you last. 1 receive numerous letters from acquaintances ail over the country asking ms if my certificate is genuine. I invariably answer, yes.”‘“Dan. A. Grosvenor. A County Commissioner’s Letter. Hon. John Williams, County Commis sinner,of 517 West Second street, Duluth, Minn., says the following iu regard to Poruna: “Asa remedy for catarrh I can cheer fully recommend Peruna. I know what it Is to suffer from that terrible disease and 1 feel that it is my duty to speak a good word for the tonic that brought me immediate relief. Peruna cured me of a bad case of catarrh and I know it will cure any other sufferer from that dis ease.”—John Williams. Miss Mattie Ii. Guild, President Illi nois Young People’s Christian Temper ance Union, in a recent letter from Chi cago, 111., says: doubt It Peru am hat a rival la all the remedies recommended to-day tor catarrh of the system. A remedy that will cure catarrh of the stomach will cure the same condition of the mucous membrane anywhere. 1 have found It the beat remedy I have ever tried for catarrh, and believing It worthy my endorsement I gladly accord It.—Mattie L. Guild. A Ooipenman'i Letter. Hon. W. P. Brownlow, Congressmen from Tennessee, writes from Wulr ington, D. C., the following:/ “I have suffered from catarrh Of th« stomach for several years, and for tho past twelve months was in an exceed* ingly critical condition. My attention was called to your Peruna, and I began to use it, and my improvement was noticeable after the first tnree days. I have taken three bottles of the medicino and I feel satisfied that I am now almost, if not permanently, cured. In connec tion with tho Peruna, I have used yonf Manalin for biliousness and torpid liver. I regard it as the best medicino for this purpo«e that I have ever used. Having been benetited so much myself, I girs you this statement, that others may he likewise benefited.”—W. I\ Ilrowulow, M. C., Jonesboro, Tenn. Mrs. Elmer Fleming, orator of Reser voir Council No. 168, Northwestern le gion of Honor, of Minneapolis, Minn., writes from 2535 Polk street, N. E.: “I have been troubled all my life with catarrh in my head. I took Peruna for a bon t three 1 months, and) now think I am permanently] cured. I believe that for catarrh i in all its forms f Peruna is the t medicine of the Mrs. Elmer Plemlng, Minneapolis, Minn. age. it cures when all other remedies fail. I can heartily recommend Peruna as a catarrh remedy.”—Mrs. Elmer Fleming. Treat Catarrh in Spring. The spring is the time to treat catarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often retards a cure of catarrh. If a courso of Peruna is taken during the early spring mouths the cure will be prompt and permanent. There can l>e no failures if Peruna Is taken intelligently during the favorable weather of spring. As a systemic catarrh remedy Peruna eradicates cataTrh from the system wherever it may be located. It cures ca tarrh of the stomach or bowels with the same certainty as catarrh of the head. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of yonr case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis.

Shortly be- j fore Heal died he and his son Charles; had one of the differences of opinion 1 to which they were subject and the son was ordered to keep out of the store. George and Dixon, the clerk, were warned to keep Charles from behind the counter and watch out that he; didn't linger round the money drawer. Though told to keep away from the] store Charles was still employed out- side and on the day of his father’s I death had been helping til! the ice; house back of the store. Though for- i bidden the store, he continued to come] and go as he pleased and occasionally went down cellar. On the day of the tragedy Joseph; Rolfe was driving up and down Main street in Clinton exercising his horse. As he passed the blacksmith shop he overtook Columbus Beal, who said he was feeling bad and did not think he could get home on foot. Rolfe took him in the sleigh and drove him toward home. They passed the Beal house, Beal thinking he would feel all right after another turn up the street.* But he felt worse and when they got back to his house his limbs were so stiff that he had to be carried into the house. It happened that Dr. Ivory P. Tash of Fairfield was in the house treating one of the girls. Ho at first thought Be il was suffering from delirium tre mens but soon decided that it was strychnine poisoning. While he was endeavoring to force morphine between Beal's tight-shut Ibis. Charles and an other fellow entered, carrying George into the bed room. Deciding that the elder Beal was beyond medical succor, be transferred his attentions to the younger Beal and succeeded in saving his life. The eider man lived only a few minutes after being carried into the house. The trial uf Charles was sensational and attracted much attention at the time.

Daily Kennebec Journal1 LOCAL MATTERS. I WANTS EXTRADITION. Aroostook’s Sheriff Wishes to Arrest Criminal in Canada. Martin Lawlis of Houlton, deputy sheriff of Aroostook county, arrived in this city, yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of obtaining from Governor Hill his official endorsement of extra dition papers for the arrest of a man named Wm. J. Kelley, who resides In the parish of Richmond, N. B. It will be remembered that on the night of April 17, of this year, Frank \V. Burns of Houlton. deputy collector of customs for the Houlton district, was murderously assaulted about half a mile from the boundary line separat ing Maine from New Brunswick. He was in a dangerous condition when he was taken to his home and is still critically ill. After the assault he recovered suf ficiently to lie able to narrate the story of the difficulty. He said that he sought to arrest Kelley for smuggling potatoes into this country and that Kelley murderously assaulted him. His testimony was transmitted to the grand jury, which subsequently met, and an indictment was found against Kelley with wilfully attempting to murder Burns. Kelley is in hiding across the line, and his friends over there have raised a purse of money to assist him in preventing his extradition. The case is a peculiar one and Mr. Lawlis hits been sent tty County At torney Shaw with till the papers in the case and to present them to the Gov ernor anti secure his endorsement. Thus equipped, he will proceed to Washington and make application to the secretary of State for papers of extradition to the authorities of the Dominion of Canada. Governor Hill is out of town and Mr. Lawlis must wait until his return, the lirst of the week, before he will be able to leave for Washington. _ BASEBALL GAMES. New England League. AT FALL RIVER.

Price of Commodies Soar—The Wheat Crop Promises Well. New York. May 9.—R. O. Dun Co s. Weekly Review of Trade, tomorrow, will say: Price of commodies. May 1, as shown by Dun’s index number, rose to; the highest point in years, gaining 6.3 per cent, over the corresponding date, J last year. Railway earnings are steadily gaining. Footwear shops in New* England have received more orders, although tiie aggregate new business is not j heavy. Shipments from Hoston eon- tiue much smaller than a year ago. Holders of cotton goods are not urging! sides at the expense of values. Woolen goods are scarce, but the demand is stil! confined to substitute orders, caused by the strike. Dispatches to this paper promise a large wool clip, though the late spring lias delayed shearing. More encouraging weather reports have made the outlook brighter for a normal wheat yield. Exports from all ports of the I’nited States during the week amounted to 3.477,:;TS bushels. Hour included, compared with 5,579,037 in tho preceding week, hut there np 1 eared an increase over 3,153,521 bushel shipped a year ago. Securities declined still further, Monday, the average of tiie 60 most active railways closing $2 a share be low the high record of the previous week. inabilities of commercial failures ini the first week of May were $1,658,447,1 of which $735,192 were in manufactur ing and $826,537 in trading lines. Fail ures for Ihe week numbered 218 in the I’nited States, against 187 last year, and 24 in Canada against 26 last year. Of Canadian trade, the Review* says: Easiness about St. John, lumber pros pects favorable and mills have gen erally resumed work for the season. Halifax reports activity in hard ware, especially building material, but unseasonable weather affects dry goods and millinery. In the Cape Rreton district business and collections are better than a year ago. Trade conditions are satisfactory at Mon treal with dry goods paper well met n the fourth. The cheese export season opened with larger shipments than last year’s and old stocks are wa ll cleaned up. Cotton goods manufac turers report notable progress. Whole sale trade is fair at Toronto, but v.a other has been unfavorable for re tail sales. Payments are satisfactory. Trade and collections at Hamilton are still satisfactory. Jobbers ure hunulirg a huge volume of starbs at AVinncp**#. Wholesale trade improves at V'anvou ver. Retailers at Victoria complain of quiet trade and scarce money. CAPT. JACOB S. WINSLOW.

on May 16. Harper Brothers will! publish Marion M inning." the tlrst nov- .I of Mrs. William t'orcoran Eustis daughter of ex-Vice-President and Mrs. vi I*. Morton. V Miss Edith Morton Sin- was prominent in Washington society. She is now the wile of the Third Sec retary to the American Embassy at Eon dun. Mrs. Enstis has written a very clev er story of American life, in which many i .•I the scenes are laid in Washington. Her' heroine is a young high-bred Virginia girl, who marries a politician of unsern pttlotis ambition. How his temperament nets upon hers, and how, later on. she canes to know a man of wholly differ* l.t tibre and to marry him. makes a story ot dramatic intensity .and charm. Mary Anderson, the American actress, was a warm lriend of William Blacks IS we are told by .Sir Wemyss Reid la his new biography of the novelist. Rlat always called her "That Beautiful Wretch, tilt* title, as every one knows, d one of his most interesting books. Through Miss Anderson's influence BUtch tie.- essayed a "thinking part" in a per formance of "Borneo and Juliet given Glasgow, appearing in the ballroom si ene in a blue domino and mask. Sir Wemyss tells ns that “according to Ml.,-. Anderson, no more ignominious first ap pearance was ever made. tSlack plant ed himself in a rattier prominent position on the stage, with his back to a pillar, lh re lie remained, absolutely motionless, sileechless from stage-fright." When Is should have made his exit, "to Miss Anderson's horror. Black stuck to Id post." until finally Miss Anderson brother nod a fellow actor, "returning to the stage, succeed ‘d by sheer force i: dragging the paralysed super from it." Hamlin Garland, the author of “Tit a plain of til** Gray Horse Troop," was recently in Oklahoma, and has now r. turned to Chicago, lie and Mrs. Garland do not remain long in one place. Tile,* are very fond of traveling, even or rough ing it. and have revered about twenty hve thousand miles in the West sint their marriage in 1 SUP. Henry Harland s admirable new novel. "The Early Paramount." has been re ceived with uncommon cordiality in Eng land. lie is praised especially for in distinctive manner, and for his dialogic Ids light, amusing, clever, paradoxical di alogue. Apropos of this gift of dialogue, it is suggesied that he should write a comedy—or turn this new novel into a play. Nine years ago "David OOpperfleUV stood at the head of a list of ‘‘most popular novels" compiled by "The Fo ruro'" from the special reports of libra rians all over this country. Since th.it lime the vogue of Dickens has ebbed and flowed, and is now, according to all ac counts. again at full tide. At the an nual meeting of the London publishing lirm of Chapman .A- Hall, the other day, it was reported that the works of Dick ens are now having a more extensive sale and ar.- more popular in England than "those of Hall Caine and Marie Corelli. Whence it would seem that the “Dickens t. vit al" is not confined to the American side of the water. An amusing Browning anecdote Is relat ed ill the spectator by Arthur Lucas, win. writes: in the current number of the Cornhill Magazine, in an interesting pa per entitled "tin a Few Conversation alists." t he writer tells an amusing story ot crowning and how he received cert.do flowers front a lady. who. on being pressed to give their English names, shy ly confessed they were railed "bloody noses." I happened many years ago to b staying in a eounti.» house when Brown ing told this story in his inimitable way. and l»e ended with the following lines. which I then there committed to memory, and which will. I think interest your readers: 1 11 dei k my low with posies, I'll cover her with roses. L Should she protest I'll do my best To give Iter bloody noses. A volume of stories by Mary I.

To these people re l. gion cam-- ns a striet formula, with !-i ese> ibed and unvarying forms, whose slightest violation brought down upon il'e oltender the heavy htind not only of m, cliurch hierarchy, hut of the state. 'Me- history of Spanish conquest and Ionisation in the fai east, no less 11 an in the new world, is inextricably mingl -d vvitli ttiat of the Church of Home. The soldier and the priest nlurched together and the crucifix held what the sword had gained. It has In en Spain’s evil fortune, how ever. to lind in her powerful ally of onquest and in the force which ce iitcd the triumph of her arms one of the must potent fa,-tors of tier down i-ill. The support of her wonderful ns of expansion became in time a id frame v. hicli remorselessly shut i ut all power of change or further pro St ss. and in the upheaval which time inevitably brought, the government "as destroyed and the fabric of the I.nreii shaken to its foundations. Tims far tin- efforts of the church authorities have Inen directed to tiy (Ing to patch ini an I pr the Catholic Church. Nothing could tie more erroneous, how e.er. It is only by ridding the islands of the friars and cleansing the church o. their presence and sinister influence tint Catholicism an hope for perpet uation among tiiis people. A condi tion now exists yvhei e the Catholics of ihc islands the natives- are irrecon i 'lalily arrayed against the church ns ti presented by the religious orders. If f Hie people. With time, how v-r. the missionary’ z* *1 tvhich had dial. t ,z, I and inspired the early churchmen Kave way in great mensitr to more earthly consideration: and to a mis taken system of government policy. The monastic orders which ha early appear 1 in the fi Id. and into whose hands fell the church governin' t. soon devoted themselves more to extending their own power and intlucnce and to exploiting the people and con a try to add to their own wealth and prestige than to any high considerations look ing to the spiritual development of their parishioners. The ranks of such orders were recruited ton often from at ton* 1 lie 1 >wer and more brutal es in Spain, to whom a distant field and isolated parishes meant simply a'1 opportunity to tyrannize over a simple people and to gratify their own desires i ncl passions utH-lurkert. The full H’opc »»f the power and in fluent.* wielded by tlio parish I’’ios!s in the interior pueblos of the islands an hardly be realized by one un amiiiar with Filipino character and Filipino history. To a naturally docile disposition the mass of the Filipinos added the passix ity which comes from credulous ignor ance, rank superstition and awe of these in authority, a condition which the church and government system did little to ameliorate. In the over three hundred years >f Spanish dominion in the islands no concerted effort was ever made to teach the people the1 Spanish language and thus give them a literature and a common medium of communication. The plan was other wise. The native dialects, which pos sess no literature, were taught ex clusively in the parishes, instruction til ing limited in n ost cases to the catechism and church literature. Only the small percentage of persons aide to come to the Manila schools ever ac quired a knowledge of the Spanish language or of the world outside the coniines of their particular pueblo. This eyyptn was based, it is said, upon the theory that by ctnflning the people to th p- own dial "i ts and shutting to them the pages of history the possibility of united aetitm upon their part* against cither the church or state authorities was minimized. Given the above condition of affairs, coupled with the natural actions of men of ordinary human passions when invested with i tactically unlimited power, and the risult is not dilticult to picture. The pri* k against the church or seek to combat its influence; marked a man for punishment or execution. There can be hut little doubt that I)i Jose Uizal, perhaps the greatest native the islands have produced, and who was publicly shot upon the Iain-ta, Manila, a late as December 20, 1S9*!, met his deal, because of his antagonism of the religion orders in his book, “Noli Mo Tangere,' and his constant efforts to free the pcopi from their baneful -niluencc. These in dictments may seem hard, hut their truth is forced upon an> one who travels up and down these islands with open eyes and ears. The charge as to immorality i proved by th universal testimony of tie people and by the nnniero is offspring of the priests scattered throughout th»* country, who take no pains to deny the relation. Their successful effort m enrich tie ms- Ives is mote than established by tie fa hide it ..r to belitth t is as idle as it is useless. The root of this animosity on the part of j the pcolt- against the friar is f-»und, no doubt, in tie- general conditions a n-ad> described. The center of th-- trouble, how-vet. was no doubt, a pi-lithal oie in that the friar represented to the peo ple all that was vicious and bad in Span ish governin'ental met)e»ds. IT• was to them the visible embodiment of grinding and oppressive tax: s. »f conscription, of cruel and unjust punishments, and of ev ery arbitrary and unreason abb demand made by a government whose official were concerned in everything but th good of the govern- d. Th- triar being the xpos- d part of th government rnacliia- was the point of at tach It is well t>» stat- her-* that in the vh! ms uprisings Spanish authoriti- s no demand w.« v. r made for independent-*-. Th- light w not against Spanish s -reignty, h r I against th«* intolerable ahu-* s of th-- gov ernment, as represent*--! by the church. K* !i--f was often promised to the people by the government, but it had no power t execute its agn m* nts. The churcn had grown strong, r than the state, a si successfully resis «t a? change which threatened to curtail it- privileges r pj power. In the find uprising immediate ly preceding American occupation over forty friars were kiii-*d and over four hundred taken and kept as prisoners. The cry of the people was and still is. “Down with th-- fii.trs." With affairs in i:ds condition Arch bishop Cliapelle »f X-.-w Orleans was sent as apostolic deleg...f the church, with instructions to »-x mine into the affairs of the church in :he islands and to hai monise the dis- -r-P-nt elements therein so far as might be possible. It is not uq* fair to state that, measured by result* his mission was an entire failure.

I" INCIDENTS OF THE STAGE. Odd or Otherwise Readable Things Done to or by Actors. The audiences at a theatre in Port land, Ore., beraine habitually imper tient between acts and frequently hissed when they thought the delays were needlessly long. At length tin manager hit upon a way to pacify them. Once in each performance, dur ing the most elaborate change of scenery, he kept the curtain up to let the people see that the stage hands work as fast as possible. That part of the show has heroine popular. The varying duties of the h ading ar tless in a stock company become dan gerous when she has to ride a horse up a cliff in ‘Trnder Two Flags.” In Nashville the beast threw its rider and bloke her head. A play was advertised in Boston 1>y sending up a hundred balloons bearing its name and a ticket of admission. Mis. T. 1’.

Re sure you need a medicine before you lake it, but having once found out that you need it, lose no time in get ting the best. If it's for the kidneys, liver, bladder or blood. rheumatism, dyspepsia, chronic constipation, or the weaknesses peculiar to women, the best is Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, and a very simple way to find out if you need it, is to put some urine in a glass tumbler and let it stand 24 hours: if it has a sediment or a milky, cloudy appearance; if it is ropy or stringy, pale or discolored, you do not need a physician to tell you that your kidneys and bladder are badly affected. The Ilev. Theodore Hunter, pastor cf the Presbyterian church. Greensburg, K.v.. writes us the following: •'It gives me much pleasure to state that 1 have received great benefit from the use of Dr. David Kennedy's Fa vorite Remedy. Some time ago I had a severe attack of kidney trouble, hut a few bottles of 'Favorite Remedy’ have entirely removed the malady.” "Favorite Remedy" speedily cures such dangerous symptoms as pain in the back, frequent desire to urinate, especially at night, burning, scalding pain in passing water, the staining of linen by your urine and all the un pleasant and dangerous effects pro duced on the system by the use of whiskey and beer.

Heath, a Chelsea Teacher, Seriously Injured. Jimmie Judge, a Pupil, Thought the Revolver Wasn’t Loaded. Weapon Had Been Obtained at Home by Clifford Seekins. Wi.nl reached here, about noon yes terday. that Miss Amy B. Heath, a toucher in the Davenport district in 'heist a, had been shot by one of the pupils. Whether accidental or inten tional the report did not say. County Attorney Leigh, to whom the report came, soon after telephoned Judge Ste vens of the Chelsea munic ipal court to have Sheriff George H. Antes make an investigation of Hie case. .Mr. Ames investigated anil as far as could be learned titer** were no rirrumstan.es which would lead to any other than an accidental theory in regard to the affair. It scents that a number of the pupils in the district have of late been ••play ing policeman.*' as they express it. ’Iifiord Seekins. soil of \V. R. Seekins. superintendent of schools in Oh el sea. mid a teacher at the Richmond High school, has had a small toy pistol with which he has been armed when at play. All the boys are of just the right age to think the carrying of pistols to be smart, and a few days ago the Seekins boy. who is about 12 years of age, called upon a neighbor for the purpose of ob taining a pistol. He failed in securing one. however, but he assured his play mates that he was soon going to bring a real pistol to school. About S.30 yesterday morning, he ap peared with the revolver, having ob tained it at his home. The game of policeman went on and Seekins had ar rested a boy by the name of Hunting ton. Jimrnie Judge, the 13-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. James Judge, took the revolver from young Seekins. The teacher was in the sc hool room at this time and the fact that the boys had a loaded revolver was unknown to her. The lad in whose possession the* weapon then was says he did not know that it was loaded. The Seekins boy had told him that it was not. The Judge boy pointed the revolver at the teacher and said: "Look out, teacher." At the* same tint" lie pulled the trigger. The revol ver went off and the bullet hit Miss Heath in the back of the head just above the base of the brain. The force with which the bullet was sent was not strong enough to penetrate deeply. Miss Heath was able to walk a few rods to the residence of JIrs. S. J. Bur bank. whose son. Llewellyn Burbank, went immediately*, to the residence of Deputy Sheriff M. L. Rollins and tele phoned for a physician. Dr. Alton Sawyer responded and probed for the bllet. It was located and removed. The wound would have been muc h more se rious had the bullet struc k half an inch lower. In fact there would have been little chance for recovery, as the spinal cord would have been severe'! and death would have resulted almost instantly. The boys are bright and smart, but have succeeded in working up quite a dime-novel spirit in their play. The best of relations have existed between the teacher and her pupils and ther* arc none among them who would harm her. The only blame which can attach to anyone is for not being more c areful in leaving firearms around where chil dren can get hold of them. It is under stood. however, that Mrs. Seekins di 1 not know that her son had tin* revol ver. Mr. Seekins was away at tha time. Miss Heath is 22 years of age and has taught in this district two terms pre vious to the present one. Her heme Is in Pittston. she being the daughter of Rufus H**ath of that town. She is now at Mrs. Burbank's residence, her condi tion not permitting her removal to her boarding place at the residence of J. Howard Hunt. The revolver used was of 22-calibre and had three- loaded chambers. It was taken from the boys by Llewellyn Rur piank. by whom it was turned over to Deputy Sheriff Rollins. PERSONAL MENTION.
