Me., Sept. 21.—(Special).— Today has been the bis day of the fair, as the sound day always is. and many people have been here to see what tilere was to be seen, to have a Rood time, and to talk over old times, and to think ot the tun they were having It was a good sized ert^wd, hut not so large as usual for the second day.

Probably the- fall temperature and the brisk wind that u.is blowing from the northwest had eonsideiable to do with the size of the crowd. It has not been a day when one would cate to stand about long in a shirt waist and a summer suit, and when you have to put on your w inter lathes to go to a lair, it isn't half as much fun. There was a cold wind blowing all da>, light dow n over the midway, and that locality was not warm enough to temper it in the slightest, consequent!;, the coiner between the secretary's office and ila exhibition building was eagerly sought by the throngs of people. that tin y might get out of the w ind and let the sun shine upon and v.arm them. Dining the tally morning hours, there was some anxiety felt by the management lest the mascots of the lair, Mary Jane Richardson and her brother t'hiiiles. should not put in an pprarante, but they arrived on the ground long before the sun had reach ed the meridian, and it was decided to i arry cut the program of the day.

S.y Bucksport, 36 to 0. Bates Takes Game from the Snappy Hebrons, 10 io 0. Coburn Wins from Strong North Vas salboro, 6 to 0. Orono. Mr.. Sept. 24.—(Sjieeial).—The first same of football to be played ui the University of Maine, this season, occurred, this afternoon, when the Eastern Maine Conference Seminary team ol' Bucksport. was defeated to the tune of 30 to 0. As the score indicates the contest was a one-sided affair, as Maine, both by reason of her weight as compared with Bucksport, and also on account of her experience and train ing. easily had the advantage. The on-^ ly interest in the game was during the second half when six substitutes were tried on the 'Varsity. This new com bination made the game more interest ing in that the teams were more even ly matched, and during this half only one touchdown was scored by Maint'. This was caused partly on account of the new men introduced and partly by reason that this half was of 19 minutes duration instead of 15 minutes, the time of play in the previous half. Bucksport exhibited a lack of prac tice and team work, but on the whole put up a creditable game considering the odds against it. Wentworth, Bucks port's plucky half back, was easily its individual star, and his several gains i against Maine, on end runs, won him deserved applause. Luce, captain of I visiting team also did creditable work. In the first half, Maine had everything her own way. and it was only a few j seconds after the kick off when Park- i er rushed the ball nearly the length of i the field for a touchdown. Maine's new buck field, worked to perfection, and with the development of a strong line the team, this year, will be even stronger than last season's. Bearce at left half never failed to gain his dis tance and his long run around end for a touchdown in the second half was a feature. Reid, a freshman, showed up well at left guard and Libby at left tackle also showed his ability to ad- vantage. onsiuering me eirengin ui me mo teams Maine's work, today, was. on the whole, a hip improvement over the Hat j Harbor game. Last year it was the j second team that Bucksport played and scored against and not the 'Varsity, as they have advertised it during the year. Tc.wsv. who played tacklr, last year, was in the i?ame, today, for the first time, this season, and his work was well up to the standard and showed itself in his old time form. Next Saturday Coburn Classical will he Maine's opponents, and as this pre- j paratury school reports a strong team for this fall, a good game is being look- ed forward to. The summary: E. M. S. C.

Case Not Serious, but Will Be Laid Up About 10 Days, Joined by Mrs. Roosevelt and Is at Temporary White House. Washington. Sept. :M. President Roosevelt returned to Washington at tj.Sil tonight, via the Pennsylvania Rail road from Indianapolis. Me stood the journey remarkably well. tvas in ex eellent spirits and appealed to be free from pain. With Mrs. Roosevelt the President was driven directly to the temporary White House on Jackson place, where, according to present ar rangements. he will remain until able to be on his feet. The President was taker, to his room on the second floor and had his wound dressed. Later he was reported testing easily and the expectation is that Within 10 days he will be himself again. He remained in bed all day and ex ecutive business on the train was dis enntimted. The President sleps sound ly all through the night until s o'clock this morning. When !>r. Lung went to the Presi dent's stateroom shortly before !l o'clock, he found his patient in rare good humor and excellent physical condition, barring the wound. The slight fever of yesterday afternoon had disappeared and the temperature was normal. The President's leg is light ly bandaged and Dr. Lung does not look for a recurrence of the swelling, although this would be nothing un usual and would cause no alarm. Af ter eating a hearty breakfast, the President was propped up in bed with his left leg on a pillow, and spent most of the day reading. Wherever the Rain stopped crowds gathered about the President's car, but there was no cheering. All the people seemed anxious to secure the latest information regarding the Pres ident's condition. After dinner the President expressed a desite to see the members of his party and they went into his state room. a few at a time. He said that he had strongly opposed the decision of the doctors to have the operation performed at Indianapolis. He want ed to continue his journey and make the speeches he had planned, but final ly yielded to the strong pleadings of the doctors, who reported that there was danger, if not promptly attended to. that the hone might become affect ed and an affliction result that it would take months to cure. The President yielded, but remarked that in his younger days he had broken a rib and hie collar bone at a sheep herding, but had not allowed it to Interfere with hi« work. in ms uim wtin mn Pr .sklent made known his determina tion to visit the West next spring when he will extend his trio as far as the coast, during which time lie will visit all the states in which he Intended to stop on the trip .lust ended. The Presi dent feels very close to the people of the Northwest, as many years of hi* life were snont in that section and it was here that he raised his regiment of Rough Riders. He will allow nothing <o stand in his way of going there in the spring. He had nothing but kind words to say of the treatment he received from the sisters at St. Vincent's hospital. in tin station there was a large num ber of people waiting, hut a special de tail of jiolice anil detectives kept them in the rear so that few were able to see the President. Mrs. Roosevelt, who had reached the eitv during the day. had been one of the earliest arrivals at the station. She was accompanied by Surgeon Gen. Rixey of the navy. Sec retaries Moody and Hitchcock and Dr. John F. Trie joined them before the train arrived. An invalid wheel chair was backed up against the platform and into this the President, carried in the arms of Ins. Hung ami Richard and Rixey end another gentleman, was lifted and wheeled across the narrow platform out through the hig entrance onto the pavement next which the White Hous es 'Tiego was standing. The President took his infirmity good naturedly and extended a happi greeting to several persons whom he recognized as lie was Icing wheeled to the carriage. As he was lifted into the carriage he was given several hearty rounds of applause by the bystanders. There is an accumulation of business demanding the President's attention and he will be able to dispose of much of U without serious personal inconvenience.

The greatest misfortune of the pres, i nt generation is that wives anil moth ers are so frequently unfitted for the duties of life and domestic erjoyment. by reason of broken down health anil overtaxed systems. The duties of wo men of all ages are really more worry ing til'd wearing than the troubles inet with by men. So el. household, a ad often business earns press upon women very heavily. In this wav the delicate nerves and sensitive organs beeome deranged, suffering ensues, and life beeomes a burden that many i ai ry lit the grave. For the speeial weaknesses 10 which women so often fall vietlms. medieaJ s :encc has provided Paine's Celery i Compound. This, famed medicine ha4 i speeifie powers for eorrieting the dis» I orders of the female organism: it mnin| j tains health, gives strength.

FELL 400 FEET. Terrible Death of Aeronaut Girard at Taunton, Mass. Balloon Collapsed and He Was Unable to Detach Parachute. Spine Broken in Two Places—Died in a Short Time. Taunton, Mass., Sept. 24.—The 30,000 people who attended today's fair of the Biistol County Agricultural So ciety witnessed a terrible tragedy, which resulted in the death of Louis Girard, one of the aeronauts, who at tempted a balloon ascension. One ascension was made safely, early this morning, by Prof. Stafford alone. At 4.30, a triple ascension by Prof, and Mile. Stafford and Louis Girard, their assistant, was planned. N'o soon er had the balloon been freed when it was seen that something was wrong. u The woman cut loose at ome and di 1 not leave the ground. The balloon shot up rapidly and had gained a height of about. 400 feet, when Prof. Stafford's parachute was u f seen to drop also. It spread and Prof. Stafford alighted safely, but his para chute had barely left the balloon, when the latter ripped in halves and col lapsed like a paper bag exploded by a strong hand. There was a frantic motion on Gir ard's part as he tried to cut loose, but the lines refused to part and he fell to the earth like a shot, striking with awful force. The wrecked balloon buried him in its folds. it* was unconscious when freed from the cloth and was removed to the tent of the emergency hospital on the ground and later to the hospital itself, where h died 2D minutes after arrival. An exam nation showed that his spine was broken In two places. Prof. Stafford said Girard was an as sume*! name and that the victim had lived in Boston, where his parents are now thought to be. He was about -tl years old.

1 hen he paid liis respects to Adju tant General Biller of the Spanish American War Veterans, who has just been deposed from office in Indian apolis. "I am willing to fraternize," he said, "but it must be with gentle men. Something happened In Indian apolis, yesterday, that makes it neces sary for me to say this. lint now that Biller is deposed the irritating element is out of the Held. This fellow is con stantly stirring up trouble.” (Applause) A resolution favoring amalgamation with the Spanish-American War Vet erans was introduced by Col. Andrews of New 'York, and it was enthusias tically adopted. Not a dissenting voice was heard. Gen. J. Warren Koifer, the first president of the society, and a number of other delegates spoke in favor of the proposition before a vote was taken. A resolution proposing to add the word "navy” to the society's name was referred to the committee on resolu tions. Officers were elected as follows: Commander-in-chief. Col. M. Em met Urell. Washington, D. O.: senior vice commander-in-chief. Harold C. Megrew, Indianapolis: junior vice eotn mander-ln-chief. Champe s. Andrews.

Waterville, Me., Sept. 24.—tSp ciab.— Coburn opened the football season in the j city, this afternoon, with a victory over the North Vassalboro Athletic Associa tion team by a score of G to 0. The teams j were very well matched, the visitors liav the advantage in weight, perhaps. Co burn lost the ball every time through the game on fumbles and was penalized far 5 yards once on an off side play, while she hold for downs several times. The team showed up very well indeed for the first gam*-. The plays went well and tin men worked together well for so early in the season. There are many rough spots to be smoothed, but it certainly looks as if the team would be a winner again, this year. The visitors kicked off to Coburn’s bi yard line. Coburn fumbled immediately an dlost tin- ball, but held for downs and took it back without much ground being lost. Several plays were tried and the center found to work pretty well, so a hammering was commenced on that part of tin* lin*- and good gains made through there again and again. Coburn was work ing her way along comfortably when there was another fumble and tip* bail passed across to the visitors. Vassalboro found that there was a pretty roekv road ahead. Some very good gains were made and Coburn was forced back over about half the distance* that had been gained whib* sin had the bail. Then sin* held I *r downs and got it back and forged ahead to gain the same ground again. in** nammering at in** coiner was Re sumed and was good for small gains. Th** ground mad* on the first trip had just about been regained when there wa another fumble and the hall went t the visitors one*' more. They did better with it this tine* and walked it along in pretty good sty!* it was about this tim** that Coburn lost the r> yards for an off side play and this with th** distance gained gave the visitors enough ground for a garden anyway. Whittaker of Coburn had just broken through ami blocked a play ver\ neatly when time was called with th** bull on Coburn’s 4n-y.ini line. The teams had been see-sawing over, the same ground all through this half, th** same section of the field being gained and lost secern I times by both side Both sides were playing as strong as at the start and it looked a good deal like a tie. Coburn had k«*pt in the visitors’ territory her shat*** of the time all right, but not many prophecies as to th** final result were made between halves. Coburn kicked off in th*: second half to Vassa'boro's 15-yard line and soon had the hall on downs. Then she began to drive tin- visitors steadily hack to their goal and had them better than, the t*> yar»l line when another fumble lost th* b«i 11. Hut Coburn's blood was up and tin visit*.rs eould mak** n*» headway against her and soon lost the ball again on downs. The ball was worked steadily ba**k until It was on the 5-yard line. The progress from th re se**med to be by inches, although more likely it was uy feet. The visitors put up a gallant light and played the best they knew, but the steady hammering t**ld and at last Whittaker was over with the ball for a touchdown, although he had to be almost carried bodily across the balk. It took 1U min utes of good hard work to do this. Mc Corkell kicked the goal, making th** score to 0. Coburn made good progress during the live minutes that remained, but could not fetch a crossing. The visitors were forced to pant once and gained a short distance by this means. Coburn fumbled one** more, blit got th** ball back on the punt, he was making good gains when time was called on the visitors’ 25-yard line. Whittaker and McCorkell. who attend ed th* High school last year, are playing on the Coburn team and have strength ened it a great deal. They are both big. sturdy fellows and have had considerable experience in th*1 gam**. They certainly ha*l their share of th*- work in this gam**. Mitchell is another big player who will probably make his mark all right during tin* season. The weight of th*- team will he good and tin* men are now ready tor th** game. The summary: COBCRX. X. V.

And now the scientists are getting around to say thatjthe eruption^Qf Alt. Pelee was s all. That is peet as a c pregtiAstfuUl affair, -after viewed in its scientific as ivulsion of nature. Of course, they! do not dispute that in its human aspejtt it was one of the most terrible catastrophes known in the his tory of man. Robert T. Hill, the head of the United States geological sur vey, was sent by this government to re port upon the disaster and some of his observations are of much general in terest. Since the latest eruption of the volcano It has been freely predicted that the island of Martinique would pass front existence if, in truth, the whole chain of islands along the east ern border of the Caribbean were not blown away. This is not the opinion of Geologist Hill, however. He predicted the most recent eruption and declares that others may be expected before the volcano subsides. And front his report of the scientific examination made by his party we quote as fol lows: "There were no great cataclysmic disturbances of the soil, as fissures, earthquakes, subsidences, uplifts of the sea bottom, or gigantic tidal waves. There have been no serious changes in the configuration save where river beds were filled with mud and nicks were carved in the summit. The re ports of lava flow were all founded upon the confusion of mud streams with that material. In the recent dis cussion in Congress preceding the inter oceanic canal legislation the disaster of Pelee was used as a potent weapon against the Nicaragua route and has tened the choice of Panama. Advocate as 1 have constantly been of the Panama route on account of its ap nnrent freedom from seismic dis turbances, I can truthfully ray that had an interoceanic canal existed within one mile of St. Pierre before (he present eruption, it would have re mained uninjured and intact -today.” Other scientists agree with Professor Hill in treating the eruption of Pelee as bt small importance when compared with other volcanoes, or with earlier eruptions of the same mountain. Israel C. Russell, professor of geology at the University of Michigan, was early on the ground and madte* easeful study of the Martinique situation. He says: "The recent volcanic eruptions on Martinique and St. Vincent were well marked examples of the explosive type as distinguished from the lava-t'owing type. There was little discharge from Pelee except steam and dust, the dust iater being converted into mud. The area of destruction was in a small triangle measuring about live miles on each side and having its apex at the crater. A lateral opening was made below the base of the crator on the side facing St. Pierre, and from this open ing the volcanic discharge was shot out laterally, nr.d not straight upward, as is normally the case. According to the r€*ports of the survivors, a cloud rolled down the mountain side, re quiring some three minutes to reach the coast. This cloud was probably two miles in breadth when it swept over St. Pierre. The blasts from the mountain, judging from all available information, consisted mainly of steam, charged with fine, hot dust. 'As to the force of the blast, there Is no accurate measure, but there is abundant evi dence to show that it v.-as tremendous.'’ Continuing his description. Professor Tinsseil declares that the 30.000 people of St. Pierre must have been killed al most instantly. "My investigation tells me." he says, "that there was lit tle of burning gas in the blast, and that steam, and particularly the hot dust with which it was charged, was the chief cause of death. Of the people who survived on the ships in the har hor, the most were scalded. The hot steam and dust adhered to the skin and destroyed the epidermis. In many in stances the hair on the injured parts was not consumed. In the case of the sutf“ivrs, also, the portions of their bodies protected by clothing, even to the extent of a light cotton shirt, were not burned. This evidence shows clearly that the people were not ex posed to the touch of burning gases, for if they had been their clothing ar.d hair would ^‘jjrtajnly Jj.ive borne evi dence to thntf^e£t. 'tiie dust was fine, and in the process of inhabitant- would enter the throat and lungs .vs readily as gas.” Hut the main thought in the reports of Professors Hill and Russell is that the explosion In the crater of Mont Pelee is not to be compared in violence to many explosions which have taken place in modern times in other parts of the world. When compared to the tre mendous shock at Krakatua it was as a popgun rivaling a cannon. It brought neither tidal wave nor earthquake, two results of all great volcanic con WJ vulslons. Furthermore, the scientists found plenty of evidence that Pelee had more than once erupted much more violently. At some time in the by-gone centuries it erupted with mountain-moving ferocity, and yet the destruction then worked was only local in its character. And, if there had been no city of St. Pierre in the narrow range of a cannon shot from the side of the crater, the world would scarcely have heard of the recent disaster. Xow that John C. Best has been electrocuted and buried, it is rather late in the day for the Massachusetts papers to open discussions as to his guilt. In a letter to his heart-broken parents ju6t before being put to death he insisted with much vehemence on his innocence, but it is not well to lay too much stress on that circumstance. Many a murderer has gone to his death protesting his innocence, though there was not the shadow of a doubt of his guilt. If Best had any trace of human feeling left in his heart it is not to be wondered that he tried to lighten a lit tle the burden of sorrow which he had brought upon his aged parents by pro testing his innocence to the last. Those optimists who have thought Tammany could be reformed from the inside should look over the results of last week's primaries in New York. The very worst element was in full con trol. and the nominations made and the district leaders chosen make a list whose proper place is on the books recording the admissions to Sing Sing. A Democratic organ out in Ohio as serts that Democratic victory is in the air this year. This may account for the hot air which Tom L. Johnson is emitting. Perhaps he wants to inflate a balloon, in connection with his cir cus. to send up in search of the afore said victory. The aeronaut should not negieet to take a powerful telescope. The Democratic paper which an nounced in big headlines that Speaker Henderson had resigned in order to contest the presidential nomination with Roosevelt in TJ04, evidently forgot that Mr. Henderson was born in Scot land. It also forgot a few other things worth remembering. A learned German scientist has again demonstrated that the brain of woman is smaller than that of man. Well, what of it? It isn't size that counts, for her tongue is also smaller than man's. Pretty soon the football headlines will have the most conspicuous place on the front page. Already baseball is crowded into an inconspicuous corner The leaves are turning both in the schoolroom and in the forest, and in each they make it very manifest that the melancholy days are here. The unkindest cut of all comes from a Democratic paper in the South which says that George Fred Williams had a tin can tinish. How quiet the little ''antis” are keep ing. Let us hope that the last yawp of that grasshopper chorus has been smothered. Toe coal quotations are bad enough, but some of the unquotable things said on the situation are much worse. You may sing of your summer girl And her conquests by the score; You may sing of her winsome wiles At the mountains and the shore; You may praise till her wondrous ways; Till no more you can recall— Here's a song to the autumn girl, For she is the best of all. She can golf on the hills for hours And win every hole you play; She can two-step and waltz till dawn. Yet be fresh as a morn in May. She may ride to the hounds at morn. But at eve she'll cling to your arm; So here’s health to the autumn girl. With Iter wealth of youthful charm. —New York Herald. The Readfleld fair is not only the oldest, but it remains one of the best of them all. This is the season to revive that familiar hymn about the autumn leaves that are falling, falling. Westbrook will not lack coal. The public spirited S. D. Warren Co. has 250.1)00 tons on hand and will see that nobody suffers from lack of fuel at a reasonable price. It is a rare football team that isn't a winner at this stage of the season. Soon the hunters will be swarming into Maine and the deer will be travel ing out of the State by express. The sophomore-freshman baseball games are a reminder that football is not the only thing on the curriculum for the fall term. While the dealers all sfly that fewer cigarettes are sold now than a few years ago they also say that it does not follow that fewer are smoked. In fact, many say that more are smoked, the smokers buying the tobacco and rolling their own cigarettes. The land-clearing at Fort McKinley in Portland Harbor is coming on apace. By means of tackles, a pair of horses can pull down the largest trees and the smallest trees can without tackles be I torn from the ground by two horses as 'a tesoth is pulled by a elentist. About I 100 trees a day are thus rooted up, then I the roots and branches are burned I while the trunks are sawed up. A large force of men are at work and by spring- the station will be ready to re ceive the five companies which are al ready assigned to it. The foundations of the barracks and officers' quarters are of granite: all the buildings will be of brick. At the present time 13 buildings are contracted for; these will be built in a semi-circle and the space within will be used as a p&rade ground. The entire place is to be like a beautiful park. Portland does not yet realize what an acquisition Fort McKinley will be. To many people not familiar with the process of paper making, the idea of using clay, seems strange. But a good deal of it is used at the Warren paper mills jn Westbrook. About 30 casks a dav are used, and each cask weighs 1000 pounds. Most of this clay comes from England and is of a very fine quality, unlike anything obtained in this country. The two little sons of Edward P. Picker at Poland Spring, have the rare distinction of having received a pair of knit slippers each, sent by, presented and made by Mrs. McKinley, the parcel receiving the double frank of Mrs. McKinley and Mrs. Hobart. A great many people who have vis ited Jake's tavern on the New Mead ows have been interested in Emma’s green parrot which talks, sings, shakes hands with visitors and otherwise is very entertaining. Few, however, know the history of the bird. Several years ago Mrs. Conant’s sister whose home was in a suite of rooms in a hotel on Washington street in Boston h».d her sitting room window open when in (lew this parrot. The lady closed the window and captured the bird. She advertised for the owner but none called to claim the bird. The par rot is about fourteen years old. On the visit of the Bath Times scribe the other afternoon the bird remarked that it was five o'clock. The scribe looked at his watch and found that the bird was not far out of the way as it was then 4.45. Soon afterwards the pussy cat of the tavern came walking into the kitchen, when polly shouted out a loud "hurrah” and after remarking that "Polly was a pretty bird” he be gan to sing in a manner which would put to shame many of the amateurs who have appeared at banquets at the house during the past summer. When he left the nouse the bird familiarly shook hands with the scribe. There are IS graveyards located in the town of Windham, and the strang est device of all to mark a burial spot is to be found in the old Smith graveyard which is situated some 20 rods back from the highway. This is a comparatively large and handsome yard containing several costly and imposing monuments, including that erected to Hon. John Anderson, soon after his death in 1S53. In this yard Charles H. Hunnewell owns a good sized lot nearly in the center. In the middle of the lot he has set up on a brick case a large iron open fireplace, with the long crane hanging in the upper part. This fireplace did duty for years in the old Hunnewell house which is still oeupied by Mr. Hunne well and family. The old bricks in front of the fireplace are the ones originally used in the house, as are the andirons which impart to this strange monument such a—if the word is permissible in this connection—hos pitable' look. The frame which is in serted in this great open fireplace con tains a printed record of eight genera tions of Hunnewells, or from 1654 to Nov. 1301, a period of 247 years. In addition, the frame contains—sur rounding the family record on all sides—pictures of some of the oxen, cows, hogs and poultry owned by Mr. Hunnewell, and which drew prizes at the fairs. There is also a large pic ture representing a farm scene in winter. The frame contains pictures of seven hens, two hogs, four cows, six oxen in single pictures, and one group picture of various domestic ani mals. Surely the reader will say, this is a strange monument to place upon a lot in a burial ground. Yet it looks even stranger to the one who comes upon it by chance. VOICES OF THE PRESS. A Minnesota View of Mr. Littlefield. (Journal-Press of Minnesota.) The sensation of the political campaign is the refusal of Speaker Henderson of Iowa to accept the nomination for reelec tion. which had been tendered hint unanimously. His retirement from Congress will bring to the front candi dates for the speakership. Congressman Charles E. Littlefield of Maine has al readv received mention in this connection, and while it may be too early to decide who is the best man for the occasion. Littlefield certainly has many points ill this favor. In the first place he is one of the very ablest men in Congress, charac teristic for his fearlessness and his cour age to tight the evils of the day. Littlefield is of the Roosevelt stamp, a hard hitter, calls things by their right fames, and has the confidence of the people. While he is an eastern man lie has the western swing, and he is big enough to look at public questions from a national point of view. The State of Maine lias furnished the country with a long list of famous men— Hannihul Hamlin, James G. Blaine, William Pitt Fessenden. Lott M. Mor rill, J. I„. Chamberlain. William P. Frye Eugene Hale, Nelson Llingley, Thomas B. Reed and many others. To this list, which no state save Ohio can equal, will l>e added the name of Charles E. Little lield If he Is given a few more years in Congress. In our judgment the Republican can didates for Congress in Minnesota will make votes for themselves by coming out squarely for Littlefield for speaker. lit no more convincing way could they say: “We are with the people and against the trusts." Mere Opinion. Every matt has a gift of some kind, but the trouble with most gifts is that they have no market value. Few people under the age of 40 are sat is tied with the names their parents gave them. Nine men out of ten would rather find $4i»> wortli of gold Ih an old pot than to have written "Paradise Lost." A woman can never understand why a man buys a new Derby hat that, as far as she can see, is just like his old one. Some men are more anxious to be heard than to be respected. The woman who worries over leaving her children to the care of the nurse doesn't get very far into society nowa days. A man who can sit and fish for six hours at a stretch without a bite would get all out of patience if he had to mind the baby for ten minutes. Admiral Killiek. who Is said to have gone down with his vessel in Haitian waters several days ago, was the son of a Scotchman. MARKET REPORTS. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy Will Cure You if a Cure is Possible. Doctors are not infallible and there are many instances where they have decided a case was hopeless and then the patients astonlsned everyone by getting: well and fas sole cause of their cure was Dr. David Kennedy's Fu vorite Remedy. A case in point is that of James Lettuce of Canajoharie, N. Y., who writes: ‘•Some years ago I was attacked with pains in my back and side that were fearful in the extreme. I could not control my kidneys at all and what came from them was mucous and blood. I was in a terrible stats ar.d suffered intensely. The partner of l>r. Vanderveer of Albany, >T. V., decided that an operation was all that would save me. I dreaded that and com menced to take Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. I felt better al most instantly. When I had taken about two bottles, the ilov/ from the bladder was much cleaner, the pain stopped, and I was saved from the sur geon's knife and am now well.” Dr. W. H. Morse, the famous physi cian of Westfield, N. J., has this to say of this great medicine “I have known it to eure chronic in flammation of the kidneys, where the attending physician pronounced the case incurable.” No form of kidney, liver, bladder or blood disease, or the distressing sick nesses so common to women, can long withstand the great curative power of this famous specific. "A smail quan tity of this wonderful medicine has more curative power than barrels cf other remedies.” says a prominent New York physician.

There is at least one day out of the week that Melville street of this city presents a lively appearance, if that day is Sunday, and when the church bells summon the singers to rehearsals there certainly are /signs that the lit tle thoroughfare furnishes its full quota of musical talent. It is interesting to note just what this street contains, and if we don't forget the neighbors with in a stone's throw we have a doubly interesting whole right here in this vi cinity. If we were to enter the street from Western avenue we would first find 01^ our right A. D. Ward, president of the Augusta Chorus. Mr. Ward Is one of the old time singers of this city and is very influential in music circles. Mrs. Ward herself takes an active interest in the chorus here. Now let us go a little farther up the street on the same side and we arrive at F. B. Purinton's. Mr. Purinton is a fine tenor singer and has charge of the Unitarian church music. Mrs. Purinton sings contralto. On the same side is Master Roland Hawthorne, one of tlfe boy soloists at St. Mark's church. Nearly opposite here is J. W. Bet k. the baritone singer, who has charge of the Universalist church music. In the same house is Miss Sarah Milier. the popular soprano of the Uni versalist church, who c-ome from Rock land. Right here is E. E. Bond, the band musician. Farther along on the opposite side are the Misses Clark. Miss Georgia M. Clark is the popular con tralto of the Universalist church. Her sister Marion, who is a very promising soprano, has been filling a position at Togus at the chapel services. At the next house on the same side is Prof. George R. Goodrich, the organist at the Congregational church. Prof. Good rich is a piano and organ recitalist. Opposite here is Harry P. Lowell, the city’s favorite basso of the Unitarian church. Now, to supplement this with the talent that the neighbors of this street furnish, just around the corner on Weston avenue is J. Frank Dyer, the expert tenor of the Universalist church and Miss Louise Robinson, the well known soprano of the Congregational church. On Green street, near the up per end of Melville street is Miss Kd.vthe Fuller, the private vocal teach er and fine soprano. There is Mrs. York nearby, who is reputed to be one of the best contraltos in the city. Then, too, there is Prof. Frank A. Demis and Mrs. Dennis, the well-known piano accom All in all. this vicinity, though with- in a very small radius contains an abundance of musical talent and good, too: and it is not infrequent that one hears some sweet strain of a tenor or soprano voice rendering the catchy airs of some popular opera or preparing itsc'f for the Sunday service. Street Commissioner Cottle thinks the repairs on State street, between Court and Bridge streets, will be en tirely finished by Saturday night. The crushed rock was wholly distributed along the street, yesterday and it won't take a great while for the steam roller to complete its work. On the west side of State street, from the cor ner of Winthrop to Bridge street there will be no stone curbing, but the bank will he tul'fed with sods. In some places aiobg the street in this section the sidewalk will be considerably higher than the level of the street, but it is thought that this fact will not be injurious to the property owners. PERUNA CURES CAIARRM OF STOMACtt.BOYVELS.KIDNEYS AND FEMALE ORGANS. •*jk GRANGER TRIAL Prof. Robinson Says Knife Had Human Blood Stains. Joseph Phelps Tells of Quarrel a1 Granger House. Heard Threats—Admits That He Later Saw Dead Body. OLIVER G. HALL. Judge. W. S. CHOATE. Clerk of Courts. A. L. MoFADDEN, Sheriff. THOMAS LEIGH. County Attorney. FRED \V. LEE, Stenographer. Augusta, Wednesday, Sept. 24. Jos?ph Phelps was on the rack the greater part of Wednesday at the su perior court in the case of James Granger of Augusta, charged with manslaughter in causing the death of Albert L. Heselton in Augusta, the night of April 5. Phelps was supposed to be the star witness of the govern ment and taken in all made a good im pression. The cross-examination of Phelps re vealed the facts that the stories told by him at the preliminary hearing and Wednesday were inconsistent, but the government placed in evidence matters to offset them. The general line of the defence, as far as the medical testi mony was concerned was to prove that Albert L. Heselton might have died from some other cause than a knife stab. County Attorney Leigh stated, Wednesday evening, that the case on liie part of the government was prac tically completed. At the opening of court, Wednesday morning. Attorney Sheldon for the de fence announced to Judge Hall that Mary Granger, who was a witness be fore the coroner's jury and who was summoned by the defence at this term of court, had been taken to the City hospital in a precarious condition and that she might die at any time. Attorney Sheldon asked the court that her deposition be taken, with the consent of the county attorney and the court. County Attorney Leigh stated that he stood on his legal rights and would not allow the deposition. auuge nmi Miiut'u t1 it* 1t- was uu statutory provision for a deposition in a case of this nature unless the per son whose deposition should be taken resided outside the limits of the State. Judge Hail further stated that in some cases of a criminal nature continuances are asked for. After a talk with his associate coun sel, Mr. Maher, Attorney Sheldc.i asked for a continuance. Judge Hall refused the continuance and exceptions were taken. The fitst witness called at the open ing of the court after the jury had j retired to hear the arguments between the counsel for the State and the re spondent to determine the taking of ilie deposition in the ca^e of Mary Granger was Dr. L. J. Crooker of Au gusta. Dr. Crooker was recalled from yes terday and gave no new light on the matter of expert testimony. Dr. W. K. Elwell, a surgeon at the Soldiers' Home at Togus. testified that In his opinion the knife stab in the heart, with his long connection in such cases, must have caused the death. Isaac Clark, janitor of the City build ing. identified the knife at issue in this case. Joshua F. Bean, a coroner, also iden tified llie knife and .testified that it was the same instrument that he car ried to Prof. F. Robinson at Bruns wick for him to make an analysis to determine whether or no there were human blood stains on it. Prof. Franklin C. Robinson was the next witness and stated that for 28 years he had been the professor of chemistry at Bowdoin College. He identified the knife and stated that it arrived in his possession, April 7 last, from the hands of Coroner Bean. He made three tests and each were confirmatory of each other that blood found on the knife was of the human calibre. A test was made bv him of hog's blood which showed that the cor puscles of the blood of that animal tire much smaller than that of human blood. Under a rigid cross-examination by Attorney Maher for the defence the professor stated that in his opinion there was not much difference be tween the human and animal blood. The next witness called was Joseph Phelps, who was at the Granger domi cile the night that the affair happened. Phelps testified as follows: Employed at tne plant or me e-a wards Manufacturing Company. Ant father of six children. Arrived at the Granger home about 9 o'clock on the night of April 5. A party of people were there. Jim Granger asked me if I had anything to drink. I told him that l hadn't, but had money to get some. Then Granger and Heselton took some out of the cupboard, which was alcohol, and everybody in the mom drank. Then we sat. talked and laughed. Mrs. Day, after a while, said she wanted to go home. She left and then there was more talking and' drinking until the liquor gave out. At this time there were five per sons in the room. Janies Granger. Ja cob Granger, "Shiner" Heselton, Mary Granger and myself. Granger said: “I have a quarter.” I said: "I have an other." Jake was asked to go to get some liquor, but he said he had enough and went to bed. 1 went and got a pint of alcohol. After I returned and a drink had been taken Jim said to Mary: “Warm up some soup, Spider is hungry." While we were eating the soup, Mary went to another room, but Shiner left the kitchen, where we were, and the first thing I knew I heard Jim holler ing to Jake, who was upstairs: “Come down; Shiner is making trouble for Mary." Then Granger accused Heselton of the fact. Heselton with an oath told him to shut up. Then there was a general mixup. A blow was struck but couldn't tell who struck it. Saw Hes elton strike the second blow, felling Granger. As Granger arose. Hesel ton hit him again. And then Heselton made threats and used the expression about “cutting your d—d heart out." Then Granger said: "Wait until I get my knife." Shiner called Granger a vile name. Then there was another tussle. MERECIDO CIGARS I Nothing can be finer. AVe stake our reputation on them. Each cigar is plainly stamped Mereeido. Sold by dealers who wish to sell good cigars. C. H. GUPPY CO., Portland, Me. Did not see the knife in the hands of Granger. There was a tussle near the stove in the kitchen and finally I separated Granger and Heselton and Heselton went out. Did not see a knife in Granger's possession. After that Jim, Mary and 1 went hunting for liguor. We found some and the three of us drank. I said to Jim: "Shiner will soon be back.” Jim re plied: "He’ll never come back." 1 started to go out and Jim manifest ed some ugliness. Picked up a stove poker and started toward home up Glendon street. Saw the body of Hes elton on the way. Could not hear him breathe and lit a match and went to the second house on the street, rapped on the door, but received no response. The poker was still in my hand. Started toward home, but went down town with the intention of notifying an officer. Changed my mind, because I knew I would be up against the whole Granger family and there would be no word for me but my own. Went to Gonnella's lunch room with the poker in my hand and it was left there. The reason that I did not tes tify before the coroner's jury about seeing Heselton's body was that I might be locked up as a witness un til the September term of court. Could not positively state what time X left the house. Staggered some, was partially drunk, but knew what I was doing all the time. Heselton went out peaceably and although I have been at the Granger house several times, never saw him there or ever before. Phelps on cross-examination testi fied Went down to Glendon street to see if Heselton's body was found in the same place as I found it. Went down to satisfy my mind where the remains were found. Made no statement that X lost a hat. Went to Granger’s for something to drink, supposing that he had some there. Also supposed he was the man of the house. The rest of the cross-examination was practically a general summary of tile testimony of the witness. Attor ney Hhc-Mon for the defence, however, tripped up the witness, and particular stress was made in the two stories—• one at the preliminary hearing and the other at this term of con: I. St.lt «*I Ol t'l ('ht-.ir/'ti Hanson ol Auguhla, u that he was a mason. A jack knife was exhibited and the witness Stated' flint on the third day of April, he swapped with Granger. He identi fied the knife as the one at issue. Nr> questions were asked by the de fence. Dr. George R. Campbell testified that he helped perform the autopsy in con junction with Drs. Crooker and Sturte vant. On cross-examination witness tes tified that he never was present at a complete post-mortem where every or gan of the body is examined. At this point court adjourned until 9.30 o'clock, Thursday morning. Letter to G. A. Colburn, A nyHxtn. Moiiie. Dear Sir: Do you mix your own paints yet? You can do better. Zinc is hard to mix: requires machinery. Mixing by hand is slow and unsatis factory work; and. in mixing lead and zinc, you have nothing to go by: both being white, when are they mixed. Also, zinc should be ground into the lead: not simply mixed in, but ground in. Buy Devoe lead and zinc. It is the right proportion and thoroughly ground in linseed oil; nothing else, but color and dryer. 4 The colors are uniform; ready to dip the brush in. Costs less and wears twice as long as shop-mixed paint. Yours truly, 68 F. W. DEVOE CO. P. S. J. H. Cogan Co. sell our paint.
