Chester Luce of Readfield, Killed by Train at Winthrop. Missing Mae Maxwell of Belfast Lo cated in Providence. Portland, Mo.. Sept. 22.—The trial of Charles A. Plummer, charged with receiving bribes while a liquor deputy under Sheriff Pearson, began before Judge Honney in the superior court, this morning. There are 11 counts and the alleged bribes aggregate $745. Judge Charles P. Mattocks for the defendant entered a plea of not guilty. Assistant County Attorney Scott Wil son opened the case with a brief ad dress in which he reviewed the charges presented at the hearing in the muni cipal court. County Attorney Robert T. Whilehouse called Prank D. Ford, who was the only witness of the fore noon. Me was asked only one ques tion of Importance and that was if he had loaned money to the defendant on a mortgage. Mr. Mattocks object ed to the question and the objection was argued until recess, the jury be ing excused in the meantime. Judge Honney at the opening of the .afternoon session announced that he overruled the objections and admitted the mortgage testimony as evidence. Much depended upon the admission of this evidence, ns it is considered to lie a most impor tant pari of the State’s case against Plummer. Ford was on the stand at length regarding the $800 loaned the defend ant on a mortgage, and his examin ation occupied the remainder of the day, his evidence being practically the same as that introduced in the lower court.

The first case taken up was a suit brought by A. K. Bussell of Lew iston, against t'has. A. Dinsmore of Sabot tits. The action was to recover $] matter which may come up. An exceptionally promirent official said to a representative of The Asso ciated Press, this afternoon: •'Affairs are so hopelessly muddled that we in get nothing done. There is no* concealing ,the fact that the Vene zuelan government has made heated protests to our ministers. The chief grievance appears to he the allegation that the British government is aiding the revolutionary army. It is needless to say this is perfectly baseless. "We only wish the I’nited States would take over the whole country and then, perhaps, we could get some peace. Of all t|i disturbances of tlie last de cade. tHe present seems to be the worst. This combined with tile attitude witn the normal government makes us somewhat Indifferent to any action width nay take place. The Venezue lans appears inclined to be rather reck less, thanks chiefly to what I presume is the mistaken notion that Washing ton will protect them from the results of l heir own folly, however inimical that might he to the lives and property of British subjects and those of other Europeans. As we (understand Mon roeism, Venezuela is quite mistaken in this matter, though apparently, the impression has much to do with her present action.” Washington, Sept. 22.—no notice of a strain in the diplomatic relations be tween Great Britain and Venezuela has reached the department of state. If such is the case, however, the depart ment officials would have no hesitation in ascribing the cause of the threaten ed rupture to the dispute which has been revived between the two countries over thc.ownership of Patos, or Goose island, lying in the Dragons mouth be tween Trinidad and and the Venezue lan mart.

Said to Have Confessed Regarding Murder of Mrs. Pulitzer. Damaging Evidence Found in His Trunk at New York. New nrk. Sept. 22.—The o'clock and were i conducted at once to the prisoner s I corridor in the jail. The suspected man. who up to this time had insist ed that he was “Bert Kdwards" of Portland. Ore., was taken from his cell and met Levy in the corridor. "Hello, Hooper." exclaimed Levy as soon its the prisoner appeared. There was no response and no sign of recog nition from the suspected man. but when Levy again/saluted him he said calmly: "1 don't know you." The prisoner was led hack into his cell. Levy and Detective Sergt. Hughes accompanying him. There the ottb er told tlie prisoner the reason for his arrest anil the nature of the crime of which he is suspected. The prisoner then for the first time admitted that he is William Young. While Detective Sergt. Hughes was talking with Young, an acquaintance of the latter. Dixie Anzer of Hoboken, passed by the cell and looked in. Mr. Anzer. who was formerly a business partner of Young, was somewhat in doubt about the Identification of Young, imt as he went by the prisoner raised his head and exclaimed: "Hel lo. there's Anzer." Young's day spent in confinement had a marked effect on him. He was highly nervous and when he was confronted by Hrnst and questioned sharply by the de tectives he trembled violently. During the interview with tin- officers which followed Young’s admission of Ids identity, he is said io have made a con fession regarding the crime. The exact nature of the confession is not made pub lic. tonight. It was said that Young had s|iokcn of an accomplice, Imt one of the officers when questioned a bout tills re plied: "If you say simply that a confession has been made yon will tell the. whole story." Krom another apparently reliable source, however, came the information that Young did say that he had an ac complice. lie declared that for the last few days (Continued on page 3.)

THE PRESIDENT (Continued from page 1.) Philippines and we are proud of you, my comrades. You did your duty when j the country called you to arms, who 1 imitated those who from 61 to ’63 did their duty and who now are imitating th*- men who disbanded in ’6f> by coir.* inc back into c ivil uife with the firm resolve* to ito your duty as e itizens just as faithfully as you did it as soldiers, i 1 thank you.” As the President finished his speech a storm of applause broke out that end ed in three times three cheers. While the President was speaking Miss Clara Barton entered the hall and was escorted to the platform. General llrell said: “I will now detail Com rade Roosevelt to assist Miss Barton to a Feat.” Amid great cheering the j President stepped across the stage anti 1 gallantly escorted Miss Barton to a chair on his left. Adjutant General I>yer of Washing ton, l>. tresponded to Mayor May hury’s address of welcome on behalf of the veterans. This was to have endec* the first session of the convention, but Governor Bliss asked a few moment’s indulgence. Explaining that h«* was to present service medals to Michigan veterans of the Spanish war when tie convention adjourned, Governor Bliss said he wished first to present Comrade ’’Teddy" Roosevelt with one. lb* ac cordingly requested Mrs. Lewis of tle Ladies Auxiliary to present the medal 1 to tin- President. The pres**nt:itiion was j made amid the greatest enthusiasm. The convention then adjourned. The President and his party left tin armory and drove immediately to the steamer Tashmod, which was boarded for a ride on the river. The steamer j Teturr*ed with the party at 2 o’clock, in time for the President to review tin big parade of veterans and the local military. This afternoon, President Roosevelt participated in and afterward reviewed i the military parade, which was the i greatest demonstration of tin* sort ever I seen in tin* c ity with tin* exception of i the G. A. R. parade during the national j encampment, 11 years ago. Supported by Gilbert Wilkes Naval Command, No. 113, Spanish War Vet erans, President Roosevelt in an open carriage drove over the entire line of. march, nearly four miles. The Presi dent stood up in his carriage waving j his hat at arm’s length in recognition of the people’s tribute. It was nearly 6 o’clock and dusk was beginning to fall as he rapidly drove past the halted parade from his position in the last di vision, to th»* reviewing stand in front of Cltv hall. Headed by Gen. II. M. Outfield. the chief marshal, and his staff, and Gov. Bliss and staff, the soldiers marched briskly past the reviewing stand for 55 minutes. The first division was composed ex clusively of the militia, the battalion of the 14th r. S. I. that is stationed at Forty Wayne, the 1st Regiment, M. N. G., and 21st Regiment Essex Fusileets from Windsor, Ont., com manded by Lieut. Gol. Bartlett. For the tiist time a President otroft you had the good fortune most signally to illus trate this national unity. Michigan also P* rformed the unique feat for an inland state of manning one of the war vessels of the nation. Miehigan's action is blit one illustration of how closely bound to gether all our Interests are in this na tion. "The war itself was an 'easy one. The tasks left behind us. though glorious, have been hard. You. the men of tile Spanish war, you and your comrades in arms who fought in t'uba and Porto Rico and in the Philippines, won renown for the country, added to Its moral grandeur and to its material prosperity: but you also left duties to be done by those who came after you. In Porto Rico the dut> has been merely administrative, and it has been so well done that very little need be said about it. In the Philippines, the problem was one of extreme difficulty. But after three years of hitter lighting, peace has been won by the valor of our soldiers and eivil government has been introduced so that the islanders have now greater opportunities for life, liberty am. the pursuit of happiness than ever they have enjoyed during their recorded his* torv. week I ordered a taking of th« eensas of th«* Islands, and two yean hence, according to tin* law of Congress the first steps will lit* taken in the direc tion of giving the Philippine people legislative assembly. ‘‘With Cuba the matter is different. Wc pledged ourselves solemnly at the out break of the war with Spain to give t« Cuba independence. The world at larg. sneered at the pledge and even some o our own people scoffed at the though that we intended to keep it. Hut we hav, kept il. in Rood faith ami with a keen re gard for the welfare of the Cubans, we did not turn Cuba loose to sink into a wel ter of anarchy. We first administered the affairs of the island until order had been brought out of chaos, until the cities hail been cleaned, an educational system started and a just and efficient govern ment introduced. We then turned the new republic over to the hands of those whom its people had elected as its ser vants and bade it God speed on its jour ney of independence. •But our duty to. not our interest in the island, has come to an end with the establishment of its independence. Cuba's immediate proximity to the United States rendered its well-being of such interest to us that we were forced to interfere in its interest by force of arms. For the same reason its future welfare cannot but In jt matter of grave concern to us. We do not desire Tuba to stand toward any other nation in the same relations of intimate friendship and alliance that we desire to see it adopt toward us. It must, there fore. be in a certain sense, a part of our international political system, and it ac cepted this position when it accepted the Platt amendment. But it is out of the question for us to expect that it will as sume such a position toward us with re gard to international politics without at the same time sharing somewhat in the benefits of our economic system. •*11 was for this reason that President McKinley urged and that I have urged and shall urge the need of establishing closer relations with Cuba by reciprocity. We urged reciprocity because it is for uur interests to control the Cuban market, because we are bound to place the Cu bans on a peculiar standing economically when they consent in our interests as well as their own to assume a peculiar status internationally, and because it is fitting for a great and generous republic to stretch out a helping hand toward her feebler sister just starting to tread tie path of independence. “The case stands by Itself and there can be no other like it. Porto Kico, Ha waii and the Philippines have relations of varying intimacy, and they have either been admitted within our economic sys tem or have been given some of the bene fits thereof. Cuba, although independ ent. also stands in a peculiar position to ward us and should receive in similar fashion a measure of benefit from and partial inclusion within our system. Tin questions that ordinarily concern us of prime weight in a tariff mutter do not come in here as of primary Importance. We cannot choose what the articles arc which Cuba shall export. v\ niiihi accept incrn as iney are aim w«- must remember that in dealing with tliis island, especially now that we arc about to build the isthmian canal, and our interests in the West Indian waters have become so great, we must shape our policy with a far sighted regard for the tuture and for the interest and honor of the nation as a whole. 1 do not believe a particle of harm will come to any American interest from the adoption «» work itself out but with a determination each of us to do his part in making the future what it can and shall be made. We are op timists. We spurn the teachings of de spair and distrust. We have an abiding faith in the growing strength, the grow ing future of the mighty young nation still in the flush of its youth and yet al ready with the might of a giant, which stands on a continent and grasps an ocean with either hand. “Succeed? Of course we shall succeed. Mow can success fail to come to a race of masterful energy and resolute charac ter. which has a continent for th*- base f its domain and which feels within its veins the thrill that comes to generous sou Is when their strength stirs in them and they know that the future is theirs. No great destiny ever yet came to a na tion whose people were laggards or faint hearted. No great destiny ever yet came to a people walking with their eyes *»n tin- ground and their faces shrouded in gloom. No great destiny ver yet cam*- i a people who feared tin* future, who feared failure more than they hoped for uiccess. With such as these we have no part. “We know there are dangers ahead, as we know there are evils to tight anti over time. but w«- feel to the full that pulse »f th*- prosperity which we enjoy. Stout of heart, we see across the dangers tin great future that lies beyond, and we re joice as a giant refreshed, as a strong man trirt for the race. Now we go down into the arena, where the nations strive I 1 or mastery, our hearts lifted with th* i faith that to us and to our children and our children’s children it shall be given to make this republic th** greatest of all th*- peoples of mankind.” THE CONSTITUTION Will Be Used for Trial Horse—Morgan Cannot Manage Defender. Newport, R. I., Sent. 22.—Former Commodore Kd win D. Morgan of the New York Yacht Club, who managed the Columbia in the last cup races, and whose name has already been mentioned in connection with the next cup defender, today, stated to The As sociated Press that ,he could not as sume the responsibility this time owing to private affairs needing attention. The name of Fleet Capt. W. Butler Duncan, Jr., who had charge of the Constitution, last year, is now men tioned.

Premier Combes Tries to Undo Bad Effect of Pelletan’s Speech. Paris, Sept. 22.—At a political banquet given at Martha. Sunday, Premier Comb endeavored to efface the damaging elTects of the recent indiscreet utterances of tile minister of marine, M. Pelletan, and the minister of war. Gen. Andre. The pre mier contended that such individual state ments could not involve the responsibility of the government, which, under the par liamentary system, could only be involved by the premier, who alone was respon sible to the Chambers and the country. In the matter of policy, said M. Combes, only the minister of foreign affairs is permitted to speak and act in the name of the government. CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

It may surprise the readers to learn that women are more prone to piles than men, and in most cages, because it is difficult to impress upon them the importance of regular movements of th" bowels; irregularity means strain-I ing at stool, and straining means piles, with the certainty (under the usual methods of treatment) that the sufferer will "have them atway with her:” by i "usual methods" is meant the appliea- j tion of salves and lotions, or (as a last resort) a surgical operation. If there is a complaint which entails more dis- j tress and suffering upon those afflicted, than piles, or hemorrhoids, it is not known to the writer: fortunately, however, these are learning that there a remedy that effectually cures ail forms of piles: it is known as the Vyramid Pile Cure, is Th suppository toi'.'ri. is applied directly to the parts, and does Us work quickly and painless- j iMt is sold tiy.--«trM—tisto lor fitti j cents a package, or will be mailed by f the makers to any address, upon re ceipt of price.

Ed Grille, an emissary of the Na tional League, who has been trying to get American League players for next year, says that his experience shows that money cannot get the players away from the American League. Pres. Hermann of the Cincinnati club lias sent word to Han Johnson that “if t ie American League wants to make play* rs jump their contracts we will do the same thing. We can set aside a 000 fund for that purpose, if necessary.*' Because Tannehill has signed with the American League for 1902 Harney Drey fuss insists that Tannev must report daily until Oct. 15, although all the other players will be permitted to go home im mediately after the season closes, Oct. 5. “No American League club would have attempted a raid on Cincinnati players it my wishes could have prevailed,*' says Pres.

He will be held without bonds for a hearing, Oct. f. Halifax is considering a scheme for the establishment of a municipal hotel and restaurant near the reservoir at Ogden. "There is a certain city down towards the center of the state of Illinois which is very proud of its brand new court house," said a traveling man for one of Chicago's big wholesale houses. "I had to stay over night in that town one night last week and as 1 had some lime to kill after supper, 1 thought I'd go around and see the new building. It certainly is a very impos ing structure, built of granite and oc cupying a great big square in the cen ter of the block, with lawns running up front the street to the different sides of the building. I found the janitor and he took me all over the place, turning on the incandescent lights to show me the handsome frescoes and finishes of the different rooms. What particularly caught my attention was the spotless cleanliness of everything. The mosaic floors, the quarter-sawed oak woodwork, the stair cases, the rotunda railings, the roomy elevators all were as bright and free from dust and tarnish as the proverbial new pin. •lust fancy court rooms and offices looking that way at the ordinary county seat. “How do you do It?” I asked the janitor. He smiled but said nothing until he reached his store room. Then he showed me a whole case of Gold Dust which he kept in stock. "This washing powder." lie said, "is the only thing that will lie used around this place as long as I am janitor. 1 have oeen doing this kind of work all my life and have never had such a snap keep ing things clean as since I began using Gold Dust. You can imagine what a job I would have here without it." Bankrupt's Petition for Discharge.

The papers have touched but briefly upon the sad life story of the Queen of Belgium who is laid at rest, this week, af'er years of suffering. To be the wife Leopold, foxy old monarch with litle regard for the sanctity of the family relation, was in itself enough sorrow for one lifetime, but it has been only one of many that Marie Henriette hau endured in her long life. The Otieens of Europe have not had an en viable lot in the last 20 years. Queen Victoria alone passed througtfcji.er long reign with only the loss of the Prince Consort to sadden her life. She Saw the realization of most of her hopes as a mothersovereign. The Dowager Queen of Spain, struggling to keep the little King on his throne, was one of th" pathetic sights of Europe, and the assassin who stabbed to death the Em press of Austria brought to a close a life of almost complete sorrow. The Empress Frederick of Germany ended her life of suffering and disappoint ment. anti the Empress Eugenie, since the death of her son, has not known any h»pi>imwath of the editor is often strewn with thorns. Walter Perkirs, the Biddeford actor, will star in "Jerome, a Poor Man." this season. The play will be at Biddeford, October which is the only Maine city it will visit. Turf. Farm and Maine: 'The apple situation in this State is getting very interesting. Buyers are purchasing freely in this vicinity tlic best fruit to be delivered on the cars at SI.SO per barrel. We are thoroughly of the i opinion that this price is .too low. We notice that our New York exchanges say that orchardists In western New York are holding out for $2.50 per bar rel, with a good chance of obtaining it. The Rural New Yorker, perhaps the best fruit authority in New York, takes the same ground that we do that there is a short crop, and it does not advise growers to sell at prices being offered at present. Not all dealers in coal are mercenary and hai' live up to its implied contract to furnish a seat with every ticket sold. At least one Bath man has vowed eternally to oppose the building of a bridge across Meriymeeting bay lo al low people of Bowdoinham and vicinity to reach Bath more easily. The other day this citizen bought a loin of lamb from a Bowdoinham farmer. The loin was roasted in the usual fashion and in due time appeared upon the table. When the man of the house proceeded to carve the lamb he discovered much to iiis disgust and wrath that the joints of the loin were as they had grown in the animal, having been neither cracked or sawn so that the head of the house was unable properly to carve it. having instead to whittle the meat from the ties. A movement is on foot in Old Town to enforce the fire escape law which is much evaded there as it is in all our cities. Fire escapes not only are a safeguard to the lives of the people in the buildings but are an aid to the firemen in fighting fires, and building owners should see the value of such arrangements without being forced to equip their buildings by threats of prosecution. LIGHT AND AIRY, Perpetual Warfare. "They're setting rich, aren't they?" “Yes. they're just rich enough now to have trouble with their servants." "Is that so?" "Yes, they're trying to keep an English butler and an Irish cook-lady.” Eccentric Love. Towne— I suppose the real trouble with the Summer girl is that she loves not wisely not even too well. Ilrowni—O! No, her trouble is that she* loves too little and too short. Appropriate. Caller—\V"hat*s your new office boy's name? Clerk—Norman. Caller—I thought l heard you calling him “Woman." Clerk—Yes. we call him that because it tits him better. You see, his work is never done. Possible Explanation. "I wonder how Venus de Milo came to lose her arms." "LSroke 'em off probably, trying to but ton her shirtwaist up in the back." Plainly Stated. Mr. Yernlng—If you will only marry me. 1 promise you I'll make you a good husband. Miss De Termind—Never fear! If decide to marry you I'll make you that. The Great Necessity. A fellow may put up a "front,” And still have something lacking. For permanent success we want Not "front" so much as "backing." Reflections of a Bachelor. Ixive'H dreams go by contraries. .Mighty feu houses hove enough closets to accommodate all the skelitons. Women se. m to think that the only thing to be used in playing cards is the hands. It depends a whole lot on where It is whether a fat woman looks all she weighs. Women work statistics just the way they do dough.' Money t»;*ke» i hit uiat'v go, but horses make the money g9. First young married couples learn to quarrel and then not to. It's funny, hut black-haired women want their hair to be red. and gray-haired women theirs to he black. All that man knows about mechanics is of mighty little use to him when he tries to put the furnace into commission tor the winter. —Xew York Press. Personal Notes. Joseph A.

Quimby's art store is a fainting which is at tracting no little attention, and is, un Muestionably one of the most noted works of art ever shown in Augusta. This picture which was almost the last work of Tojetti is owned by Mr. Woodbury E. Hunt of Concord. X. H.. and is loaned to Mr. Quimby for a few days for exhibition. It is valued at 15000, and Mr. Quimby was obliged to take out an insurance policy for that amount before he could secure permis sion to use the picture. The picture speaks lor itself. It represents Pris i ilia Mullins sitting in her cottage while John Alden enters at the door with a spray of arbutus in his hand, it is tilled with the wealth of detail ird smoothness of painting that char acterizes all of Tojetti's work and which would nave made him one of the world's greatest painters had he lived to old age. Virgilio Tojetti was born in Rome on Man n 15. 1851. and as a boy he studied with his father, Domenico Tojetti. also a celebrated artist, who was chosen by Pope Pius IX. to restore some paintings in the Vatican, and when the work was finished he was made a .Marquis of the church, and was also decorated by the King of Naples and by King Ludwig of Ba varia. After studying \v*th Ins father, he went to Paris, where he studied with Bouguereau and Heroine. The smooth technique and highly decorative qual ity of his work are strongly suggestive of the famous French masters. It was front Paris that Tojetti came to America, and after a couple of brief professional visits, during which he executed some important commissions, he finally settled in New York. Mis most ambitious work was in the field of mural decorations, and his brush lies made notable contributions to the splendor of many of our modern palaces, including both private houses and great ineti opolitan hotels; among these are the decorations in the Savoy Hotel. Hoffman House, New York, the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver, Colo., the Mark Hopkins mansion in San Francisco, the Vanderbilt. Yerkes, Roc-kfeller, Mould. Lispenard, Stew art. and many other mansions in New York and Newport. Among the theaters in the country are found many examples of his work: among these are the Academy of Music, Bijou, Empire, American, in Now York: the Keith theaters in Bos ton and Providence. Every man of genius has a hobby, and this artist would rather have a. beautiful woman of the great world as his model, exacting though she may tie. than paint innumerable Cupids and hosts of Grecian goddesses or la dies of the Petit Trianon. With pardonable pride Tojetti would b ad the visitor to a corner of his studio, where lie pressed an electric button, and behold! his favorite pic ture stood revealed, it was an almost life size portrait of Mrs. IJugro of New York. She is standing, dressed in white satin, whose fabric is fairly tangible, so cleverly he managed his technique. Tojetti's first artistic triurn oh was v.h' n he exhibited bis painting from Lytton’s "Richelieu" at the Academy, about eighteen years ago. It created widespread comment and was sold for Jtoon. the highest nriee ever paid for a painting tin to that date in the Acad emy. Among others of his paintings are the "Two Roses," which has probably had a larger sale than any other picture ever published in this country: the “Sweet Thoughts,” “Sweet Sixteen.” “Burst of Melody,” “The Five Senses.” and “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not." The painting on exhibition at Quim by’s art store is one of the last works ever completed by Tojetti—and the best art critics in the country regard it as on" of his best. He painted the picture to order for Mr. Hunt froifi a small sketch and completed it only last September. The scene is intended to illustrate Longfellow's poem of Miles Standish, and represents John Alden coming through an open door with Priscilla, radiantly beautiful and full of pleasant anticipation, gfeeting him. Poor Tojetti! How well he knew how to faint beautiful women! And this figure of Priscilla is especially charming. John litis been gathering the trailing arbutus (mayflowers) and as he enters, brings a bouquet of the field favorites of Priscilla. “Puritan flowers, in* said, and the type or Puritan maidens. Modest and simpli and sweet, the very type of Priscilla! So I will take them to her: to Priscilla the mayllower of Plymouth. Modest and simple and sweet, as a part ill}; gift will I take them." The painting, although decidedly sentimental, is of a more serious na ture than many of Tojetti’s work. It has been reproduced in platinotype by Mr. Hunt, in large size only, both in black-and-white and hand-colored. The sale, in the limited time it has been on the market, hits been most giatifying. Mr. Quiinby lias these reproductions in stock and they have been much ad mired by all- who have seen them.

COUNTRY NEIGHBORLINESS. Wayfaring in Maine—Rag Carpets and Roadside Hospitality. Althougn the ends of the earth are brought together these days by rail way, telegraph and telephone, even now simple, oldtime conditions may be met with in remote country places. There is a rural village in Maine,- forty miles from the coast, which is reached by a narrow gauge railroad. A journey "up the line.” as the phrase goes, brought some varied and delightful revelations, says a writer in the New York Tribune. Along Uje,*-^ftrin^1eff' them the two travelers started luster the. hot sun of the last ween in August. It was a mile to the country inn, their destina tion, and there was no conveyance. Passing a farmhouse on the way, they asked if they might rest on the shady porch. Permission was readily given, and presently the housewife joined them, with the inquiry, "Wouldn't you lik" some blackberries?" Her cordiality was unmistakable. In answer to a question as to local history, the kind ly. wistful faced woman brought out an old scrapbook, rich with lore, and volunteered to lend the book. Then she took the strangers into her house to see a valuable old engraving, hung in a room which hail a soft, effective colored rag carpet—and t hereby hangs a tale. When the two women reluctantly took up their/ way again, the quondam hostess pressed upon them nosegays of sweet, old fashioned flowers. Grateful, indeed, but feeling unworthy of so much kindness from an utter stranger, the wayfarers journeyed on. The "inn” at the crossroads was trirfi and most respectable looking. On the front lawn stared a sign with the warn ing, “Keep off the grass,” needlessly, one would think, for there were untold miles of grass in the neighborhood, to keep on, at desire. Fronting the house stood a straight, stout post, with a swinging sign, in oldtime tavern style. The landlord was heard, but not seen. The landlady, buxom, young, short skirted, collarless, was evidently housekeeper anil maid of all work, cheerful as the day is long, and her house a model of neatness. Plants blossomed everywhere—on the porch, in the dining-room and in the by-courtesy parlor, where hung the marriage cer tificate, framed, and the usual family portraits, crayon likenesses of stolid, heavy browed men and blank fared women in gaudy gilt and plush frames. It was toward iilgnuaii and supper was served almost immediately—such a supiier!—of hot, yellow biscuits, strong black tea. thick sliced cucum bers. blueberry sauce, two kinds of cookies, doughnuts and frosted cake. The landlady's eight-year-old boy, a winsome eyed child, sat at the table. His supper consisted of three biscuits, a cup of tea. full strength, a doughnut and two pieces of cake. Seldom would a ruddier looking child be found, ap parently not because of his nourish ment, but in spite of it. Child and mother made a charming picture, as she held him. toward bedtime, his little face snugged up to hers. "We have our first breakfast at fi o'clock, and the next one at 7, but you stay abed as long as you want to." the woman said, good naturedly. "Yes. I get tip pretty early—5 o'clock usually, sometimes 4.20." The house took on perfect silence at it o'clock. j Breakfast resembled supper, save for fried potatoes and eggs. "Joey don't seem to have any appetite for break fast.” the mother deprecated. Hut Joey ate a hard boiled egg. a doughnut and two cookies, drinking meanwhile a cupful of strong tea. The effects of such a diet may not show now; they will thirty years from now, in pinched featur s and weak body. This was experience No. 2. Feeling that another meal at the inn might be too much for poor human nature, wonted to their ways, the two travelers set forth, after breakfast, afoot to the next settlement. It was on this road that the woman who Blade the rag carpet lived. Rag carpets, days of our grand mothers. scents of lavender—all these dear old memories go together. And here, in this day and generation, was a woman who wove carpets. "i should ask you in. just the same, if you was travelin' agents." the aged Woman answered, as the strangers as sured her they did not call with any thing to sell. "Come right in this way," and they followed her into a room with just such a carpet as they had dreamed of. "If I furnish the rags and the warp. I shall have to charge you 45 cents a yard for making it. If you furnish the rags, it will he 42 cents a yard, and If you furnish them all cut it won't tic but SO cents. You can have it all 'hit or miss'—'sheeny,' we call it—or you can have it with a pattern, in alter nate strities, then a strip of hit or miss.” otner rooms revealed other carpets, all in such good general tone that the woman's real appreciation of harmony scented trustworthy. The massive wooden frame .which forms the carpet loom was next exhibited. "I have always made carpets, and my mother and grandmother did before me," the woman explained. .‘‘Now, take that path down by the spring, past the willow. Goodby! Goodby!" she called out, as the two wanderers departed. There were three miles of dusty road to the station, where they would take the train at early noon, hut they kept on. rejoicing over the prospect of the coveted carpet. At the small country all-kinds-of store where they stopped to buy a cracker and cheese luncheon the weath er beaten man behind the counter would fain detain them for a bit of gossip. "1 just wish you had time to stop and see n-.y iittle girl. She's only thirteen years (.Id, hut. my! she's a smart one. First she took to collect* V’K things, suintpe and,such: then she learnt to play the organ and to paint, and she's gMrig th tiaYe her teeth 'Vllljed. 1 don't mu rter^w ith her one mite, for I think folks was put into this world to do about as they're a mind to. Nev r matter about that extra cent, added generously-giving his cus tomers the benefit of the fraction in the purchase. "You may as well stay here, where it's cool, and maybe my little girl'll come along." But hunger urged an escape from this diverting loquacity. At a farm house within sight of the station the travelers, stopping, asked to buy some milk. "Gome right inside and eat your lunch, the two strangers were in tited by the good woman, with a hos pitality there was no refusing. An ex quisitely neat “siltins room" was put at their disposal—*1 room with Oilcloth carpet, many braider! rugs. easy rook ing chairs witlr calico cushions, and atop the rare old mahogany secretary a row of half century dd brinks—"fnited States ('oast Survey,” 1855; Smiths Bible Dictionary," the "Bady's Book." 1857, and so on. The luncheon eaten, their imromptu hostess reappeared. "No, no, I don't want any pay for the milk. It was just frierdly obligation." she added, walking a bit of the way with them down the flower bordered path. i While they waited, for their train, in the cl.Aer irugretu iiiK" the two musedjoveir their experiences. Only a day itwar from their conventional hotel existence, yet in that day they had met far more of hospitality and interest and kindness than would be often encountered among the busy places of mankind. As a wise man has said; "Ncighborliness—brotherliness— is one of the cardinal virtues, and thrives best under the ‘country sun.’ MAINE ASSESSOR IN WISCONSIN. A Madison, Wis., Paper Interviews Hon. George Pottle. The Madison State Journal of which the editor is Ainos Psrk.es Wilder, for merly of this city, in the issue of September is had the following inter esting interview with Hon. George Pot tle of Lewiston, one of the State as sessors of Maine, now on a visit to the West. George Pottle of Lewiston, member of the Hoard of State Assessors of Maine, a body corresponding to the Wisconsin State Tax Commission, is i"h Madison investigating the tax laws of the state, and the methods of the commission in handling the several problems encountered by it In its in vestigations. Mr. Pottle is the Demo cratic member of the board, the other members of which ary. Otis Hay ford and F. M. Simpson. He is on a tour of the North Mississippi valley states for the board and goes to Minnesota. Iowa, Illinois, Michigan and Indiana before his return home. He will secure copies of the tax acts of each state and investigate the methods pursued in listing, classifying and valuing property. “The Maine board of assessors was created in 1891, after the people had become tired of the State board of re \icw,” said Mr. Pottle this mOrning. “It has not achieved the millenium during the past eleven years but it is considered by the people of the State to have justified its existence by the reforms it lias advocated. Our tax laws are very similar to Wisconsin's, which, I am tokl, were modeled some what after those of the state of New York. We have the full valuation provision for all property and rigidly limit 'he tax levy rates. “Do vftu tax both property and mort gage, the part of the system objected to in Wisconsin?” was asked. “Yes. we do. Nearly all of the states do It,” answered Mr. Pottle. •What remedy have you to suggest against so-called double taxation?” was asked. i uamire cne iUiun^uu mn' mortgages are not specifically taxed. The property owner is allowed the op tion of paying all of the tax upon a mortgaged -dot -nr farm, or he may show that another person has a mort gage interest in it and cause that per son to pay his share. In no case does the state directly interefere between the mortgagor and the mortgagee. It leaves them to fight the matter out be. tween themselves." “Do you approve of that system?” was asked. “Yes,” answered Mr. Pottle. “It do* s away with double taxation and it leaves the borrower and lender free to make their own arrangement. Under it the rate of interest has fallen to live per cent. “The Michigan tax commission has made a very elaborate investigation into the valuation of the railroad prop erty of that state, arriving at exact figures by sending engineers over the several lines at a cost of $100,000. I tut. it has the facts. “It is my view that the ultimate so lution of the taxing problem of munici palities will he the abandonment of the taxation of till personal property and the basing of all taxation upon real estate. This is not a new view, hut I believe it will fice the final eon elusion of the tax commission of the several states. It would be just be cause it is upon the real estate that the bulk of personal property rests." Judge Gilson, president of the tax commission, suggested that a national convention of state tax boards and commissions be held in the fall of 1 no::, following the meetings of the several legislatures. He believes that a great many problems now awaiting solution, that cannot be properly reached by means of investigation, or which would require in ’estigation of a character not feasible of employment, might be hurried to sointidn .by the discussions of a c onvention of tax ex perts.

Three cases of intoxication were heard in the municipal court, Monday morning. In each case the de fendants were found guilty of being in toxicated, Sunday, ami were denied the privilege of paying a fine, all going up for 3 days. The drunks were: Joseph Marshall, Frank Walsh and Michael Collins all of Togus. The officials of the steamboat lines, railroads, hotels and other places where brass cheeks are used, are complaining that the checks are being stolen lor the purpose of being used as an attachment to watch chains. Young people got the fad to a considerable extent. The checks, nearly all are taken as sou venirs but the parties who suffer the loss have threatened to make an exam ple of some of the people who have in ilj^ged in this fad. Eddie and John Granery and Everett Dow, the boys who were charged with shooting five cows and killing two at the City farm, Saturday afternoon, were arraigned in the municipal court, Monday morning, before Judge An drews. The case against James Gran ery was dismissed as it was shown he did no shooting. The other two were hound over in the sum of $'>00 each and will be tried before the January term of the superior court. "Buffalo” Murphy, or O'Brien as he save his name to Judge Andrews, who made such a stubborn resistance when being locked up by Officer White, Sun day night, pleaded not guilty to the charge of intoxication, Monday, and the case was continued to evening, when “Buffalo” was given 30 days for being drunk and 30 more for resisting the officer, while the costs will probably still longer prolong his visit to tho stone house on Court street. Capt. John P. Carson and Col. L. B. Hill left on the 2.35 train, yesterday afternoon, for Bangor, for the purpose of attending the annual reunion of ihe 1st Maine Cavalry Regimental Associa tion. to which they both belong, whit h will take place in that city, today. Others from this section who propose to attend are Col. S. H. Allen of the Soldier's Home, Capt. George Doughty and Frank W. Averill. The 1st Maine Cavalry had a splendid record during the Civil War. but the number of sur viving members are growing smaller as each year goes by and fewer meet at the reunions to talk over the glories of the days that are gone. George L. Crummett of Springvale, has returned to his home after passing a few days with his brother, Fred Crummett at the Cony house. Mr. Crummett was brought up in this city, but he has not been here before this visit for more than 25 years. He was surprised at the great improvements in the looks of the buildings and streets of the city that have been made since he was a boy. While here he visited the Soldier's Home at Togus. and was pleased with what he saw there. Mr. Crummett served in Co. B, 3d Maine Volunteer Kegiment during the Civil War. his captain being E. F. Pierce, a brother of J. Frank and Andrew J. Pierce of this city. He called on Col. II g Staples, his old commander and upon his former comrades in town. Goo. F. Gannett, Geo. H. Fisher and others. For more years than the writer can remember the boys of the East side have Utilized the island near the old foundry wharf, directly opposite this office, as a rendezvous for all kinds of s|>orts, chief among them being "go ing in swimming." At the head of this island is a geod, sized beach and here tin boys congregate every day, even at this season of the year, as they have done for scores of years heretofore. In the old days the boys used to be satis fied if'they were able to tie somebody's susi>enders into knots, while the owner was in the water, or cut up some such innocent caper as that' but the boys of this generation want some sport of a more exhiliratir.g character, something more exciting than tieing knots in clothes and so they have provided themselves with revolvers and engage in mimic war play. They line up in opposing armies and blaze away with the utmost abandon. The snap of the revolvers is heard one after the other and the battle is waged with fierce and unrelenting vigor for a time, or until, according to the rules of war, one side comes forth victor over the other. The boys come in pretty close contact every once in a while and hand to hand con tlicts are numerous. And this is the kind of play the 20th century boys in dulge in. NEW TRIAL GRANTED. Verdict Against Great Northern Paper Co. Set Aside. Decree of Cumberland County Probate Court is Reversed. The following rescripts have been received by Clerk of Courts Choate: In Bessie T. Haskell against the Great Northern Paper Co., Penobscot county. Kescript.—Emery J. 1. Jurors, as well as judges, are re quired by law to give effect to the clearly and heavily preponderating weight of the evidence, whatever their sympathies or prejudices. A verdict against such preponderance of evidence cannot be sustained. 2. Where the main question of fact was whether an excavated trench e.long the side of a street was signaled in the night time by a*stated number and arrangement of lighted lanterns, and eleven witnesses, nine of them ap parently disinterested, testified posi tively to seeing the lighted lanterns of the number and arrangement stated, and only two witnesses, both deeply in terested. testified that they passed to gether along the street without seeing the lanterns, the affirmative of the question should be considered as es tablished. A verdict to the contrary is unmistakably wrong and must be set aside. 3- When a person falling into such a trench in the night time admits that had he seen the lighted lanterns of the number and arrangement stated, he would have known they indicated an excavated trench along the whole line of lights, they must be held to have been sufficient in number and ar rangement to effectually signal the trench as to such person. 4. It being thus established in this case that the trench was sufficiently signaled as to the plaintiff by a sufficient number of lighted lanterns properly arranged, the verdict, being to the contrary, must be set aside. 5. When a defendant vouches in another party to assume the defence, and upon his coming in turns over the defence to him, the defendant is bound by the action of such vouched party, and cannot be heard to deny ins responsibility for such party. (i. in this case, the defendant hav ing vouched in the contractors whose duty it was to have the excavation sufficiently signaled, and having turned over the defence to them, it cannot now he heard to deny its liability for whatever breach of their duty in the premises can be established. Motion sustained. Verdict is set aside and a new' trial granted coupled with the condition that the defendant cannot deny its responsibility for the actual condition of the trench and street at the place of the accident. Also in the Cumberland County case of Larkin D. Snow, appellant, from a decree of the Judge of Probate grant ing license to sell real estate of Sub mit C. Russell. Rescript.—Strout, J. At the death of Submit C. Russell, she was indebted to George F. Russell. He brought suit upon his debt against John H. Russell, executor of Submit C. Russell, and obtained judgment for thirteen hundred and fifty dollars ai.d fifty cents, in November, 1897. In March, 1898, John H. Russell, as executor, had license from the Probate Court to sell Mrs. Russell's real estate to pay this judgment. Mrs. Russell left one parcel of real estate and a small amount of personal. John H. Russell did not give a bond on obtain ing the license to sell. The license therefore was illegally granted, and conferred no authority upon the execu tor, and a sale under it was void, not withstanding John H. Russell under took to sell the estate to George I/. Russell for twenty-two hundred dol lars, and delivered to him a deed. As payment George F. Russell discharged the execution issued upon his judg ment. paid John H. Russell three hun dred dollars in cash and promised to pay the balance of five hundred and forty-nine dollars and fifty cents, but has never paid the same. Upon the death of John H. Merrill. Isaac L,. Elder was appointed adminis trator de bonis non, with the will an nexed. Elder filed a petition in toe Probate Court stating that George K. Russell offered to pay for the same parcel of real estate “the sum of five hundred and forty-nine dollars anl fifty cents in addition to the sum of sixteen hundred and fifty dollars and fifty cents, which he had already paid to the said John H. Russell, executor aforesaid, making in all the sum of two thousand two hundred dollars for said real estate, which is an ad vantageous offer therefor, and that the interests of all concerned will be pro moted by the acceptance of said offer. He prayed for license to sell at private moted by the acceptance of said offer." which was granted by the Probate Court. From this decree Snow ap pealed to the Supreme Court of Pro bate. Ui>on hearing in the appellate court of the appeal and the agreed statement of facts, the decree of the Probate Court was reversed and tie petition for license to sell at an ad vantageous offer dismissed. The case came to me upon exceptions to this ruling. The reasons of appeal raise the question whether the petition to the Probate court contained sufficient allegations to authorize that court to grant any license to sell real estate, and whether it presented a ease under any of the clauses of R. S, c. 71, s. 1. A license to sell real estate is only granted to an executor or administra tor when it is necessary to pay debts, legacies or expenses, and the petition for sui h license must allege these facts, and they must be proved to the court. In this petition there is no allegation that the sale of this real estate is •'nec essary to pay debts." Besides, it was not necessary to sell real estate at $2200 to pay $1650.50. To authorize a sale cf the whole estate in such case it must "appear by the petition and proof" that the residue would be greatly depreci atedby a sale of any portion, r. s. c. 71, s. 1. item 3. No such allegation is found in this |>etition, nor is such proof supplied by the agreed statement of facts. 'A license to accept an advan tageous offer can only be granted where the court may grant license to sell at public auction, and those cases are only those enumerated in section one of that chapter.

Exceptions overruled. Decree of the probate court reversed and petitions for license dismissed. AMUSEMENTS. Culhan'e, Chace 4. Weston’s Minstrels, Tonight. The Rockland Daily Star has the fol lowing criticism of C’ulhane, Chase Weston’s Minstrels, which appear at the Opera House tonight: “Culhane, Chace Weston's Min strels well deserved the big house they drew last evening at the opera house for they presented a clean, up-to-date and entertaining program with excel lent singing and specialties. The songs rendered in the first part were well se lected and all admirably executed. The program was an elaborate and varied one, introducing clever teams in danc ing, club swinging, musical acts, con tortionists, and hoop rolling, all of which were vigorously encored by the audience. The singing of W. J. Mc Quinn and Harry Leonard was par ticularly well received and Bobby De Rue took well with the audience. Mc Grevey and Douglass gave one of the finest exhibitions of dancing seen here in many a day, and the wonderful con tra tenor of George Pearce surprised musical lovers. Dygert and Scanlon, club swingers, and the Shelvey trio were extremely clever.” “Through the Centre of the Earth.” Whenever thp name of Blondel! is mentioned in a company where two or more persons are assembled you will invariably notice a smile of sat isfaction in evidence upon the faces of all present. There is good reason for this found in the fact that in every city of importance in this coun try the Mondells, original “Katzen jammer Kids,” have appeared in one or more of their comedy creations, to the infinite delight of all who have had the good fortune to witness their artistic performances. They are nat ural born fun producers and count their admirers by the tens of thou sands. For the present season the Blondells have secured as a vehicle to exploit their talent which is said to be far in advance of any production in which they have heretofore been seen. "Through the Center of the Earth.” was an instantaneous and tremendous hit, and its projectors, who had spent a fortune in equipping this massive play were the recipients of telegraphic congratulations from all parts of the country the day follow, ing its first presentation. This mag nificent spectacular extravaganza will be seen comnlete and entire at the Opera House on Thursday evening. Sept. 25. The seat sale will open this morning at 10 o'clock. “The Parish Priest.” "The Parish Priest” comes to the Opera House. Friday, Sept. 2fi. Theatre goers have discovered that the play does not deal with religion in any form, nor does it even contain the flavor of sectarianism. As a result, the pretty play is establishing Itself in public favor. It seems surprising that a priest could be used as a central figure, and yet not once utilize his call ing. hut Daniel L. Hart has skilfully handled his clergyman, who, divested of his collar, could represent any call ing. Being a priest, adds to the beauty and gentleness of manner as well as humor of speech establish him as a man ■rather than a clergyman. Daniel Sully is perfection in the char acter and surprisingly so, considering that his previous work in stage-land has been essentially comedy. His Father Whalen teems with honest sentiment and Mr. Sully possesses the wonderful faculty of reaching the hearts of the auditors without any ap parent effort. The play is powerful as well as simple. The seat sale will open Wednesday the 24th inst. at 10 A. M. 'Ole Olson.” The Swedish dialect comedian, Ben Hendricks, is again presenting that best and most entertaining of Swedish plays “Ole Olson” and will don the garb of the nonchalant and resourceful im migrant “Ole” at the Opera House next Saturday matinee and night. Mr. Hendricks is universally recognized as the best exoonent of Swedish charac ter on the American stage, a fact that is amply proven by the attempts of every manager of Swedish plays to se cure his services. He rightfully con siders. however, that in “Ole Olson" this particular nationality is most truthfully drawn and presented and that it gives the best opportunity of presenting the wholesome, honest and incorruptible Swedish type as he really exists. Several changes have been made in the dramatic story and these features have tended to strengthen the play. A number of special features add to its enjoyable qualities too— notably the original Swedish Ladies' Wuartette. Funeral of Mrs. T. 0. Pease. The funeral of the late Mrs. T. O.
