Enjoys Good Health and Perfect Vis ion and Lives Alone. Bath, Me., Oct. 28.—(Special).—Mrs. Helen C. Xeagle, better known os “Granny” Xeagle, today, quietly cele brated the lOfith anniversary of her birth, at her little home on Middle street extension. "Granny” Xeagle has long held the distinction of being the oldest woman in the State of Maine, a distinction of which she Is justly proud. She was born in a rural community in the county of Clare, Ireland, Oct. 28, 17W, and was the youngest daughter ol' Mr. anil Mrs. Michael Consldine. Be fore she was out of her teens she mar ried John Xeagle, a thrifty, steady going laborer. The first 12 years of their married life was spent in the “Old Country,” after which they de cided to cast their lot in America. They bad been blessed with the birth of 10 children, but on the way across two died and were buried at sea. After reaching this country, the young couple had no idea where they were going to live. It was in the palmy days of ship building in this city, however, and they decided to come here. They lilted Bath and as John Xeagle knew right well how to swing an ax. he was not long in securing employ ment. A house was soon built and by frugal living the young couple brought up their large family without much discomfort. The father met with an accident, however, which prevented his ever returning to the yard, and then it was that Mrs. Xeagle decided to do what she could for the support of the family. She was employed as domes tic in many of the best-known families of the city anil her services were al ways in demand. After her husband's death, about 25 years ago, she contin ued to work, but was forced to cease her active career about 20 years ago on account of her advancing age. "Granny" Xeagle enjoys good health and almost perfect vision, although her hearing, is. somewhat impaired. She is a lucid story teller and likes nothing better than an interested group of lis teners wjhile she is narrating some graphic talc connected with the early history of the city. She is a. member of St. Mery’s Catholic church and takes a great interest in all pertaining to the church. She is continually expressing a wish to attend one more service with in its portals before she dies. Her vitality is something remarkable and she refuses to have anybody live with her, although a neighbor calls each day and has general oversight of her. Her only living relative is Michael Cavanaugh, a grandson, of this city. BONDSMEN WILL SETTLE. Have Given Up Looking for L. Linn Small of Auburn. The whereabouts of L. Linn Small, formerly receiver of the American Banking and Trust Co. and who is now wanted in Auburn to straighten out his accounts as receiver of the company, are still unknown. It is learned that the bondsmen of Mr. Small on whom will fall the short age in his accounts as receiver of the American Banking and Trust Co., if there should be any, have given up looking for Mr. Small, as it is only wasting more good money. They will confine themselves to as certaining the exact shortage in his ac counts as receiver of this company and make up the loss as it appears. One of the bondsmen told the Jour nal. today, they had no desire of mak ing any iitigation over the matter. It was their duty as bondsmen to settle to the full amount of the bond—$20,000, if necessary. It is further understood that one or possibly more of Mr. L. Linn Small s brothers will assist the bondsmen In making good the bond, should there be anv necessity for such a course. Hopes that Mr. Small will return and straighten out his accounts are still entertained. It is believed that he tould do so if he could be found. There „,e rumors that he has been seen in Auburn, but these are not verified.— Lewiston Journal. PENLEY STILL ALIVE. The Auburn Would-be Suicide Living, but Still Unconscious. Edward H.

Portland, Me., Oet. 28.—Win. Thomp son, alias Wm. Riley of Chelsea, Mass., known to the police as a "hobo burg lar.” was shot, presumably by his fel low burglars, on the county road be tween Stroudwater and Westbrook, at an early hour, this morning. It is sup posed that the burglars, who had robbed O. E. Sherman's general store nearby, of whom Thompson was un doubtedly one, quarrelled when It came to dividing the spoils, and Thompson was shot. His companions ran away and he was left lying in the road. He crawled to the house of Roscoe Knight and was later taken to the Westbrook police station, where he died shortly after 2 P. M., without revealing the names of those with him, nor did he tell how he came to be wounded. He was badly intoxicated when found. Officers in this city suspect three men. Thompson said there were two men with him. but the police think there was another. It is believed some one of the trio must have been wound ed. The men of whom the police are in search are said to have been seen with Thompson In Portland a day or two ago. CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

THE PRESIDENT Receives Greetings from Visit ors from Abroad, Tuesday. Sends Pleasant Word to Pres. Diaz— Meets “FellowDutchman." Presented With a Magnificent Moos*. Head from Alaska. Washington. Oct. 28.—Some of the foremost scientists of the world were among a party of 30 visitors who ar lived here, today, from New York, where they attended the International Congress of Americanists. After l»einp formally welcomed to the city by President McFarland of the hoard of district commissioners, they were re ceived by President Roosevelt. Ex Secretary of State John \V. Foster was chairman of the reception committee. Alfredo Chavero, delegate from Mex ico to the congress, presented a mes sage of good will to President Roose velt from President Dias.

Hopes That Yuen Shi Kai Will Be With Him in New Duties. Washington. Oot. 28.—Minister Wit Tine; Fane has not been advised of the appointment of Yuen Shi Kai as minis ter of commerce of the Chinese empire, although in his view such an appoint ment would not be unlikely. Yuen Shi Kai is the viceroy of Chi Li province. When the late Li Hung Chang was the viceroy of that province he also hr Id the title of minister of commerce. At that time the title was practically only honorary, as his manifold duties its viceroy prevented him from devot ing serious attention to matters affect ing the empirr outside of his province. Minister Wu, while he says he has no detinite information, believe# it prob able that Yuen Shi Kai may have re ceived the title of minister of com merce precisely as Li Hung Chang re ceived and held it. The ministry of commerce to which Minister Wu has been appointed is a special board. He will be associated with ^ chosen in Massachusetts, Rhode Island Connecticut. New York. South Caro-: lina.

New York. Oct. It—Gloomy account* of the state of affaire 111 Cape Colony, the orange River Colony and the Trans vaal have been received here from time to time through private channels, but there has been a tendency to discredit them, cables the l-ondon correspondent of the Tribune. The announcement of Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's decis ion to proceed to South Africa in order to examine on the spot the problems pre sented by the termination of the war and the settlement of affairs In the new British colonies consequently caused the utmost surprise In political circles. It Is tolerably certain, declares the cor respondent. that if the situation had not been one of peri 1 the colonial secretarv would have left the whole matter abso' lutelv In the hands of Lord Milner. The feeling between the Rritish and Dutch people in Cape Colony just now is said to he more bitter than it was in the davs before the war. The Transvaal and Free State colors are worn freelv In the Dutch towffis of the Cape, loyalists are natu laMy alarmed at this state of things. Ever since Mr. Chamberlain became co lonial secretary he has disregarded prec edent. One notable instance which has a silaht resemblance to a master stroke of policy now Initiated by him was his visit last autumn to Malta to inquire into the petition of the Maltese against compul sory addition of the English language ne returned to L«ondon he consult ed with his colleagues and soon after ward came an intimation that the objec tlonable edict had been withdrawn. It Is possible that It Is this experience Prompted him to studv for lh? Present position of affaire IVii.

Theirs Is a life of hardship _ and great danger. Even under the improved condi tions of the in I spector law, many miners are broken in health and die long before their time. Spending so much of their time underground, in foul air, damp ness and dust, causes bronchitis and serious lung troubles. I was a physical wreck as a result of these conditions, and re mained so for years until I took Father Johns Medicine, which cured my complaint known as miners' asthma, and restoied me to health and strength. (Signed.) James Jernegan, Scranton, Pa." For fifty years this old remedy has been recommended by those who use it, and we are able to guarantee to refund the money in any case where the results are not satis factory. because it has never failed to do all that Is claimed for it. While it is not a "cough syrup" or "balsam," it is unequalled for coughs, colds and all throat and lung troubles. It has a most soothing and healing elTect, and at the same time builds up the body and makes strength. THE CANAL SITUATION. President Decide* on Title and Con gress on the Treaty. New York, Oct. 28.—In discussing the report of Atty. Gen. Knox on the valid ity of title to the Panama canal. Wil liam N. Cromwell of this city, of coun sel for the Canal Co., called attention to the fact that the question of title does not again come before Congress. That subject was by the Spooner law left absolutely to the determination of the President. "One matter remains to be settled." he added, "that is the con clusion of a treaty with Colombia. It will be recalled that the ‘Hay-Concha treaty of May 18 last was approved by these ministers. "The iorm of the Spooner law, how ever, made certain amendments to the proposed treaty necessary In the in terest of both governments and these few points are the object of the pend ing discussion. "I am advised by cable from Bogota that the instructions dispatched five weeks ago will enable an agreement to be speedily reached between the two governments and in time for the com ing session of the Congress of the Unit ed States to pass upon the treaty." AN OFFICIAL INVITATION. Might Brinq Prince and Princes of Wales Over on a Visit. London. Oct. 28. The report cabled from the United States that the Prince and Princess of Wales would probably visit the St. Louis Exposition in 1904 created much interest here. The news occupied a prominent place in all of the afternoon newspapers. Surprise was expressed in official circles at the ques tion being publicly discussed at all. At York House, the residence of the Prince and Princess of Wales, a re porter of The Associated Press was in formed that nothing was officially known on the subject. From inquiries in other quarters, however. The Asso ciated Press learned that while no offi cial invitation had been extended the matter had been unofficially presented to the King, who returned a polite, non committal reply. It is pointed out that the question of acceptance or declina tion must of course await the transmit tal of an official invitation from the United Slates government. SIX ROUNDS TO A DRAW. “Young” Erne Manages to Staje Be fore “Young" Corbett. Philadelphia. Oct. 28. *\oung Erne, of this city, managed to stay six rounds with “Young" Corbett, the featherweight champion, Monday night, at the Washington Sporting Club. During the six rounds Erne was down 24 times, but only one of these falls was the result of a fair knock down blow. Corbett rushed the fight ing from the start and almost every time he crowded Erne the latter would go down on his knees either to rest or avoid punishment. At the close of the fourth round Corbett caught Erne with a swinging blow squarely on the mouth, sending him in a heap to the floor. He prob ably would have been counted out had not the bell saved him. Erne showed considerable cleverness, but he was no match for his adversary. MOVEMENTS OF TRANSPORTS.

Bersch's attorneys at once filed a motion for a change of venue. Circuit Attorney Folk resisted the ap plication on the ground of insufficient no tice of this move. Judge Ryan finally an nounced that he would hear arguments in recard to the application. Tuesday morn iJnf. ENGLAND’S POWER Used to Personal Ends by Rulers of Ireland. Impassioned Condemnation of British Rule by Wm. O’Brien. Wyndham Says Intimidation Must Stop or Fight Go On. London. Oct. 2H.-An impassioned condemnation of British rule in Ire land was again heard, Monday night, from the Nationalist section of the House of Commons. The proceedings were occasionally interrupted by the taunts with which these scenes are reg ularly accompanied. With the assistance of a number of Liberal members, including Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman and Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the Nationalists mus tered sufficient votes to permit William O’Brien to move the adjournment of the House for the purpose of discussing the proclamation of the Crimes Act in Ireland. Mr. O'Brien argued that the harsh administration of this act was endan gering the peace of Ireland. He ac cused the chief secretary for Ireland, Mr. Wyndham, of employing England’s power to enable the territorial mag nates of Ireland to play their own game. Other Irishmen having spoken. Mr. Wyndham. in a defence of the govern ment. said illegal intimidation must be suppressed and. although he dis liked to use military terms, he declared that “pending the settlement of peace between the contending forces, the fighting must go on." a statement which created a fresh outburst. Mr. Wyndham concluded his speech by declaring that it was hopeless to persuade Parliament to deal with the land Question while this system of in timidation prevailed. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman blamed the government for refusing facilities for the discussion of Irish matters and declared that Mr. Wynd ham had failed to justify the enforce ment of the Crimes Act. He said that after 10 years of resolute government Ireland had “a Crimes Act for its Magna Charta and a Sergeant Sheridan as the embodiment of law and order.” The House then divided on Mr. O’Brien’s motion, which was defeated fcy 215 votes to 121. London. Oct. 28.—The Nationalist members of the House are jubilant over what they claim to be Premier Bal four's "climb down” from his refusal to grant a day to discuss the proclama tion of the Crimes Act. Blocking mo tions to prevent such discussion were set up last week by Unionist members, but through government influence these motions were withdrawn, thus permitting Mr. O'Brien's motion of last night. According to the Standard, this morning, this arrangement was the re sult of a friendly understanding be tween the government and the Irish party. The Times says: "The truce to which the government has assented is now ended and blocking modes will prob ably be replaced and made to cover the whole field of Irish politics.” Irish Envoys at Philadelphia, r Philadelphia. Oct. 28.—Advocates of Irish liberty filled the Academy of Music and Horticultural hall. Monday night, and extended a welcome to the Irish parliamentary envoys, John E. Redmond. Edmund Blake, John Dillon and Michael Davitt. About $8000 In subscriptions was raised for the Unit ed Irish League defence fund. Seated j on the platform in the Aacademy of i Music were Gov. Stone of Pennsyl- I vania, Arachbishop Ryan and many j other prominent Irish-Americans. Gov. Stone was chairman of the meet- ing. Nearly 2 per cent, of the population of Berlin are foreigners. friimuniM" Mrs. Tupman, a prominent* lady of Richmond, Va., a great sufferer with woman’s troubles, tells haw she was cured.

SMALLPOX WALKING ABOUT. Fifteen Cases Found in Webster, Mass., Hotels and Streets. Webster. Mass.. Oct. 28.—There was great excitement in this and neighboring towns when Dr. Morse of the State Board of Health, after an examination. Monday afternoon, reported 1.", cases of smallpox nine in Webster and six in Dudley. There are supposed to tie many more cases in town, but Dr. Morse had time for only a partial examination. He will probably stay ir, town two or three days longer. Dr. Morse discovered the victims of the disease in hotels and in the street, and the whole town is greatly wrought up over it. Pest houses have been estab lished here and in Dudley, and everv pre caution will be taken for public safety. SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES. For a year or so complaints have beer, made to the Portland police that sum mer cottages on the Cape have been broken into when the cottages were not occupied and the places used by some one who resorted to them with women. The local police finally managed to se cure evidence that two soldiers at Fort Williams anions others were implicated in these breaks and complained to the. commandant of the post about them. The officer in command immediately caused the arrest of the two soldiers and they are now confined in the guard house at the post ami will be punished by the federal authorities.

It causes a feeling of per sonal defilement and mortification that keeps one nervous and anxious while iu me company oi otners. In spite of all efforts to prevent it, the filthy secretions and mucous mat ter find their way into the Stomach and are distributed by the blood to every nook and corner of the system; the Stomach and Kidneys, in fact every organ and part of the body, be come infected with the catarrhal poison. This disease is rarely, if ever, even in its earliest stages, a purely local disease or simple inflammation of the nose and throat, and this is whysprays, washes, powders and the various in haling mixtures fail to cure. Heredity is sometimes back of it—parents have it and so do their children. In the treatmjmt of Catarrh, anti Manchester, Va., March 6,1801.

MOLINEUX TRIAL Possibility of Prosecution Clos ing Its Case, Today, Handwriting Suppositions Continue* by Experts Tyrell and Osborne. Admissions and Denial by Mrs. Rogers Dead Woman’s Daughter. New York. Oct. 28.—Mrs. Florenci Rogers, daughter of Mrs. Katherine J Adams, of whose murder Roland B Mollneux is accused, was the most con spicuous witness on the stand at th< trial, Monday. Mrs. Rogers was sub jected to a close examination regarding her relations with Harry Cornish, but little that was significant was elicltec in this line of inquiry. Mrs. Rogers re lated the circumstances of her mother's death immediately after taking the poi son. The greater part of the Bession was devoted to the examination of hand writing experts, who testified to th< identity of specimens of Molineux's ad mitted handwriting with the address on the poison package and that of th< disputed letters. The trial of Roland B. Mollneux was continued, Monday morning. At the first trial of the case it took eight weekc to get si Jury and examine six witnesses. In the seven and a half days of the present trial, since the Jury was obtained, 36 witnesses have been called and cross-examined and counsel have reached an agreement as to expert tes timony in handwriting that it is ex pected will materially lessen the tech nical ordeal to which jurors and audi ence were subjected when Mollneux first faced the charge in November, 1829. When court adjourned, Friday, John F. Terrell, the Milwaukee expert, was telling the jury that he believed Moli neux wrote all the disputed writings, including the address on the poison package wrapper. Assistant District Attorney Osborne recalled him to the stand as soon as the court opened. He took up his testimony where he left oft when interrupted by the adjournment and told the Jury where he had found the “Molineux characteristics" in the disputed writings. District Attorney Jerome sat with the counsel for the slate and now and then prompted Mr. Osborne. Mr. Tyrell laid particular stress upon the similarity he found in the disputed writings and in the writing known to have been made by Molineux before there was any suspicion of him as con cerned in the death of Mrs. Adams. The peculiarities manifest in those writings and in the disputed writings, he said, were lacking in the "request" writings Molineux made for the district attor ney after he was indirectly accused of the murder. District Attorney Jerome asked the court again to permit the witness to illustrate his meaning on the black board. “I see no occasion for it, otherwise I would allow it,” ruled the court. Mr. Jerome insisted that time would be saved and the court granted the application. Mr. Tyrell copied the first syllable of the word "Knickerbocker" from the poi son package address and compared ,t with the “ck" in the word “tickets” ap pearing in a letter Molineux wrote to Comisn about an athletic entertainment in November, 1897. Tne expert naauc line cnmuarisons wim the “k” in ••book" ap|iearing in one of the •‘Barnet’’ letters and in a business letter written by Molineux. and with let ters in the word "west" and “street" ap pearing in a “Barnet" letter and on the address “West K4th street" on an en velope Molineuk wrote to a Mr. Sheflirr. Justice Lambert said he thought the jury had seen enough and the expert re linquished his blackboard. At Mr. Osborne's request the expert proceeded to point out the peculiarities in handwiiting about which he had tes tilied. "Do you consider the study of hand writing an exact science?" ex-Governor Black said in opening his cross-examina tion. “In some instances, yes; in some, no.” "It is liased upon the theory of prob ability. is it not?” “Yes. I suppose so." "Did you ever know of another exact science based on probability?" “No." Sirs. Rogers, daughter of the dead wo man. was next called and to Mr. Os borne's questions told of going to the theatre with her mother on the night of Dec. ?7. of her mother's headache in the morning and of her aopeal to Cor nish for a draug.it of his bromo seltxer. She told of giving the poisoned drink to Mrs. Adams and of her almost imme diate collapse. To the counsel for the defence Mrs. Rogers said her relationship to Cornish was by marriage and not by blood. She said she had known Cornish nearly all her life; that the fact of the separation from her husband occurred a couple of months after Cornish came to New York was only a coincidence. Mrs. Rogers denied absolutely that her mother ever hired a letter box from Dan iel Callahan, who said, last week, that she did. and declared that she and her mother had no secrets from each other. Mrs. Rogers said she had a private let ter box once under an assumed name. She hired it from David Murdock of 5<t! Columbus avenue. Alfred S. Osborne, an expert in hand writing. replying to Mr. Osborne, said the hand that wrote the poison package address and the other disputed letters was the hand that wrote the conceded writing of the defendant. Molineux. The witness was armed with enlarged photographs of the different exhibits mounted map-like, which he hung across tee easel. He begun on the conceded handwriting and showed the peculiarities he later discovered In the disputed writ ings. "We concede." said Mr. Black, “that the triangular formation of letters is dis tinctively found In Mr. Mollneux's writ ing. To ex-Gov. Black. Mr. Osborne said he hau examined other writings of the de fendant than those included In the list of exhibits. "Do you know If they were left out of this case because they did not show the peculiarities you spoke of?" "I don’t un derstand so." Ex-Gov. Black showed the witness a bundle of letters and asked him If he had ever seen them before. It developed that the papers were specimens of his hand writing made by Molineux in the pres ence of and at the request of the district attorney. Somewhat of a sensation was sprung at Monday night's meeting of the Lawrence. Mass., board of aldermen when Lawyer William J. Bradley alleged that there was a "scheme on foot to fleece the Unit ed States government," and he mention ed the names of several business men as being connected with the movement to hinder the erection of the new post office on the depot park site. The discussion grew out of the opposition to the selsure of the land now being waged in the Unit ed States circuit court by City Solicitor Kane and Col. J. P. Sweeney. The dis cussion was ended by the adoption of n motion to authorise Mr. Kane to make no further objection to the controversy in behalf of the city. 777777777 I The finest polisher—shine is brighter, lasts longer, never burns red—does not stain the hands—most durable ana economical ALSO IH PASTE FORM—"SUN PASTE STOVE POLISH.** HALLOWELL Harry t'lement and Will Johnsor have returned from a short visit tc Boston and vicinity.

Will Be Change in Makeup of the Sev eral Squadron*. Newport. R. I.. Oct. 28.—In naval cir cles here it is learned that after the big Southern naval maneuvres there will be a change in the makeup of the sev eral squadrons. Many new ideas will be put into practical test and the evolutions of the squadrons at sea. together and in squadrons alone, will be held, while the shore drills will form an important part of the new mission for each squadron. Also several important changes in the commands are also contemplated. The North Atlantic squadron wdl be considerably enlarged and its scope of work will be materially affected, and the same can be said of the Asiatic, European and Pacific squadrons. Each year the four squadrons will be brought together for such maneuvres as are now being prepared for, and each summer the North Atlantic and Pacific squadrons will hold drills with the army as was executed by the North Atlantic squadron last summer.

Then he added: "And his pro motion will be enjoyed by no one more than myself.” Lieut. General Miles will retire for age, next August and this declaration by Gen.

Mains. ssszaesssss^aessss Soma Railroad Figures. The advance sheets of the lntroduc s able handbook on all subjects con nected with their growth, management and condition, hare some stupendous figures on the railroad business of this country. The volume covers the year coding June 30, 1902, and shows that during the year the mileage of roads miles,, an increase over twice the total railroad mileage in Maine. The mile age In the country now foots up over 199,000 miles, or almost eight times around the round world. About 195, 000 miles report business. These show gioss earnings of $1,612,418,826 and operating expenses of $1,092,154,099. The net earnings including miscel laneous receipts, were over $588,000, 000. These are almost incredibly large figures, and it Is to be remembered that they represent what is paid sim ply for carrying |>eop!e and things and not for producing anything at all just for overcoming natural obstacles to trade. There are 27,144 engines, 27,144 passenger cars. 8,677 mail and express cars, and 1,409,472 freight cars. If these average 50 feet each in length, they would make altogether. If set in a row. about 14,000 miles of continuous rolling stock. The growth of the sys tem is suggested by these compari sons:— tkm to Poor's Manual, the accepted authority on railroads and an invalu »n this country increased by 4,453.71 1882. 1892. 1992.

The average interest paid on railroad bonds was, in 1882, 4.76 per cent, and the avenge dividend was 2.92 per cent. In 1902 these were respectively 4.21 and 2.62 per cent. In his speech at Indianapolis Sec retary Shaw declared that the Dem ocracy is more anxious to discover an issue on which It can tight the cam paign in 1904 than it is to formulate a rollcy for wise government. The re mark stings Democrats, but it is true, and the saddest part of the situation from a Democratic standpoint seems to be that the hunt for an issue is hopeless. The Democracy has found the "anti" business a boomerang, dares r.ot speak above a whisper on the cur rency question, finds tariff revision too cold to be warmed over by any fire they ran kindle, and finds ail the thunder against trusts to be in the possession of the Republicans. In their despair the Democrats looked to the coal strike to help them out, but that has failed them. The charge* against Philadelphia as a slow c[tv are sometimes looked upon ns a stale iokc. but the announcement that the Pity hall, begun 21 years ago. is now nearing completion Indicates that there is a pretty substantial basis of fact to them. This building, by the way. is said to be the largest in the country blit it has been so long In pro cess of construction that it is already loo small for its purpose. In some things France sets the fash ions. but that country is now trying to Imitate the American method of settling the coal atilke by arbitration. Its government is using its efforts to this end with a good prospect of suc ess. The American way in war and industry Is showing the Old World how to settle many problems. The title to the Panama canal prop erty which France has offered Uncle Sam' seertis to Ik- O. K. That is the opinion of Attorney-General Knox and his ideas on the subject are of no small weight. The full establishment of this fart is a long step toward the actual construction of the waterway over the isthmus. Kvidently those starving Poles and Slava among the strikers had some thing up their sleeve since they are able to give President Mitchell a dia mond-studded bRdge and a gold watch and to promise him a fund of $100,000 as a slight token of their esteem. The eternal fitness of things Is seen in the announcement that Immediately after the gathering of the Massachu setts Democrats in Tremont temple it was discovered that the silver com munion plates of the temple had mys teriously disappeared. When election day comes, next week. It will be seen that the so-called Republican apathy is only the sure ■sHttsHent determination of the masses of the party to stand by the national administration.

Press Censorship in Buds* Ih tuts country whet* the freedom of the press Is recognised as something not to be questioned, people do nob realise the dMBculties under which, newspapers labor in some foreign lands: when they try to give their readers the news of the day. In this country a' paper may publish all the news that is lit to print.—many of them, unfort unately, do not stop at this limit,—and as long as private parties are not treated llbelously the publishers are in little danger of any legal entangle ments. There is no government press censor here to cut out and smother about all the news that the people waht to read. In the Spanish war, as a military necessity, we had Just a taste of It. Russia is the country where the censorship of the press has always been the most severe though In nearly all the countries of Europe the censor is very much in evidence. In Russia since newspapers were first known, there have been issued thousands of prohibitions and partial prohibitions to show editors what mat ters could not be touched upon. No editor could possibly keep ail these or ders in mind and many who fully meant to live up to the unreasonable requirements of the censorship have been punished for breaking the law through ignorance of it. The Russian government has Jt:st made an attempt to codify and bring down to date its censorship regulations and a circular has been issued to all publishers In the domain of the Czar. The prohibitions of this circular give a good idea of the iron hand with which the government keeps down the press, and indirectly the people of Russia. Here are some of the most notable provisions of the censorship schedule as it has been cod ifled: t. Ministerial reports to me may not be published without the con sent of the ministry of the interior; likewise rumors about the same: like wise acts and expressions of the Czar. 2. Matters emanating from the high er governmental circles, such as doc uments and decisions, may not be re ferred to without the consent of the authority concerned. 3. Circulars of governmental depart ments may not be referred to without the special permission of the depart ment concerned. Information relating to the Em pire’s defensive position, mobilization or dislocation of the army or navy, credits for war purposes, construction of strategic roads or warships, etc., etc., may be taken only from the “Rus ski Invalid.” 5. News or articles concerning the maintenance of the Chinese Eastern Railroad and its guard are forbidden. G. News about the commandeering of agents of the finance ministry into Persia and the results of their work is forbidden. 7. News about or articles on school disorders or the last university regula tions are forbidden, likewise petitions of the students, blackboard notices, etc., furthermore no information can be printed about the Internal life of any schools without the consent of the proper authorities. S. Articles on or news about politi cal arrests or crimes or criminals, ex cept what are printed in the "Official Messenger” or other official organs about executions and those who per form them, are prohibited. 9. Factory disorders and other pub lic disorders cannot be mentioned with out the consent of the higher police. 10. Pestilence in Russia and neigh boring countries cannot be mentioned without the decision of the medical de partment of the ministry of the inte rior. 11. No allusions can be made to the personnel or the work of the secret po lice. 12. No calls for money cortrihutions ran be issued without special permis sion. 13. Suicides cannot be mentioned without the written consent of the nearest relatives, or, in case of their absence, of the local chief of police. 14. Mention of contemporaneous measures against religious dissenters or of the Holy Synod's action against Tolstoi is forbidden. 15. "Curb" quotations are forbidden. 16. Articles of a strictly scientific nature not suited for the manses are forbidden when bad results might en sue. The discovery has been made by the census office that whereas, of white native born children of native parents between the ages of 10 years and 14 years in the United States, 95.6 per cent, are able to read and write. 99.1 per cent, of the native white children cf foreign born parents are able to read and write. This difference comes from the fact that the great proportion ot foreign born parents live In the North and Kast where the public school system is best developed and fret- schools within the reach of all. The illiterary of the children of native born parents is largely in the South among the negroes and the class known as "poor whites." It is a grati fying and encouraging fact that parents of foreign birth who them selves had few if any advantages of education are so quick to take advan tage of the priceless boon of our free school system and allow their children to get a better start in life. It is a pity that all American born parents do not feel equally appreciative of the opportunity ottered their children.

In Biddeford anti Sacc they are sell ing Welsh coal, received by way of Portland, at $10 a ton while the price to Portland consumers is $12 a ton. A Portland teacher in the Philip pines sent home a cacoanut by mail recently, putting on 53 cents in stamps u> induce Uncle Sam to bring it. The celebration of its centennial by the Methodist church at Dunstan corner, Scarboro. suggests the time when Scarboro possessed within a half dozen as many souls as did Port land. and recalls that at one time a clergyman who was one of the strong men of the faith chose to remove from Portland to take charge of the Scar boro station. Three lucky Bowdoinham men found a bee tree, last week, and se cured 100 pounds of rich honey. As they sold it for. 20 cents a pound it was a good afternoon's work and they did not regret that they were side tracked from their fishing trip. Speaking of lucky Bowdoinham men reminds the Bath Independent of a son of the neighboring town of Bow doin who went West to grow up with the country. He is A. C. Merriman of Marinette, Wisconsin, whose assessed wealth is now three times the total valuation of his native town where in young manhood he worked a year for $80.80. But it was push and pluck rather than luck which gave this Maine boy his fortune. For the past two months herring have been very abundant in Milbridge bay. Singularly enough they will not weir, but the fishermen have been able to dip them by the hogshead, if de sired. Acres of them roil out of water about twilight during which time scow loads are taken anil brought ashore to be used as fertilizer. It is no un usual sight to see twenty or more boats being loaded with the herring to be used for lobster bait.

He bucked the Bowdoin cen ter: he lugged the ball a mile: he yagged 'em. he scragged ’em. he bat tered 'em in style: he saw the holes our bruisers made: he struck his black poll through; he kicked his heels In glee, did he. this wearer of the blue: he ran a mile a minute the ball be neath his chin; he leaped four hundred feet in the air and then leaped back again; he circled Bowdoin’s ends nine times and hurdled ’em com plete; he turned six hand springs through the line and landed on his feet. He did a cake walk past the hacks and walked out through the hole: his flying feet went down the street for Goal! Goal!! Goal!!! Oh! Mister Watktns left your classic head.

When the guests arrived, they found that the large parlors of their hosier.* were decorated with sheaves of ripe corn; the mantel-piece was covered with them, and from the chandelier, hung huge bunches of ears tied with dark green ribbon. Here and there, ail over the room, were candles in green or yellow shades, their strange sub dued light in keeping with the spirit of Hallowe'en. Since they had been prepared for a popcorn “party” by invitations deli cately tinted and shaped to represent an unhusked ear of corn, the young people were not surprised when the hostess brought forward an immense bowl of kernels and several poppers, and set them to work. They popped the corn over the grate fire, and emptied it upon a long table spread with a white cloth. Of course, all could not work at once, but those who awaited their turn enjoyed themselves as much as the others paring apples to find out their true love's initials, trying their fate with saucers, peering into the future by means of a ring and glass, and trying the hundred and one charms of Hallowe'en. When all the kernels had been popped, the hostess held up the last popperful. “Guess the number of kernels in the popper,” she said. Slips of paper were passed, and each guest wrote his name and guess upon one. When the slips were collected, it took but a moment to count the kernels, and the lucky young woman who guessed within live of the correct number was given a ticket which she was told to keep until the close of the evening. Everyone was then provided with a sharp needle and very long thread, and it was announced that every ker nel of the snowy pile on the table was to be threaded, and that a prize would be given the one who could show the longest string at the end of five min utes. This proved very exciting work, and the time seemed all too short. When it was over, another ticket was given. The long festoons were carried away by the hostess. A game of “corn conundrums” was started, and each person was expected, to contribute. "What officer in the irmy is hidden in corn?” asked one. “What part of the human body is found in corn?” asked another. The answers are, of course, colonel (ker nel) and ear. Others given were, “I have seen strong hardy ponies in a corn field” (cobs). “Material for ladies’ dresses is found in corn” (sil), and so on. with tassel, maize, stalk, etc., great ingenuity being shown. A third ticket was given to the cleverest conundrum-maker. Assuming an air of great solemnity, the hostess declared that every person there present would be permitted, on this Hallowe'en to visit the Cave of the Witches, and learn what happy or ter rible fate the future held in store. "Speak no word, lest you break the spell," she said. "When you reach the cave stand against the walls, ob serve what the witches do, and when they beckon, go forward. Now form in line and follow me.” She led them down the hall, stopped a moment at the door of a room, then entered softly or. her toes, her fingers to her lips. All followed. The room was almost dark, two Jack-o'-lanterns furnishing only a ghostly glimmer of light. Almost all of the furniture had been removed, or was covered with dark cloths. The walls were covered with leaves and branches. Huge paper bats with red mouths were hung from the ceding and caused little screams of fright when they struck against some one's face in the semi-darkness. Rut everyone's eyes were turned toward the middle of the room. Here was a great kettle, suspended gipsy fashion, over a pile of sticks, and around it were three strange and terrible figures—the witches. They were dressed in long, tattered garments, dark red handker chiefs around their shoulders and on their heads: their hair hung about their Unnaturally white faces in wild disorder, while in their hands they grasped wooden ladles with which they stirred the contents of the kettle. They walked around and around, murmur ing strange words and uttering horri ble groans, until at last one of them stooped down, there was a scratch and then a glare of bright red light, that showed the almost frightenen faces of the guests. One of the witches then approached a young man. touched him with her ladle and said, “Come! learn thy fate.’* When she had reached the kettle she pointed at its contents. “Choose.” she said. He boldly plunged in his hand and drew forth a popcorn ball. “Your fortune is within." cried the witch, and beckoned to another. One after one, each drew a ball from the kettle, and as each approached, thefe was a scratch and a burst of green or blue or yellow or red light. The balls were the common ones found in all candy shops. They had been cut In half on which was written a fortune, humorous or otherwise, had beeh placed In one half, and the other half its edges very slightly moistened with molasses. h»d been placed over It. The fortune was thus hr the tenter of the bMl; and atthehe bonghrten balls ate not at Jtn sticky, no paper suf fered from contact with molasses. The lights were, very easily pro duced. Any druggist or chemist will prepare powders which will produce them, and the cost is almost nothing, i Tin Should be under- the powder, so that when burning, there need be no danger. There was a final burst of red light, the witches sang a weird song, and then the hostess said that they would march in to supper, and read their fortune at the table. The wifehes paired off the couples, showing truly mysterious knowledge, and then all passed to the dining-room. Here all was fairy»like in its bright ness. a fine contrast. Three tables were set with snowy linen and white china, and were fastened together by long festoons of popcorn, while streamers of white and pink hung from the ceiling, and strands reached from the chancielier to the corners of the tables. The little candles were shaded by ijuaint shades made by sewing white and pink popcorn on plain pasteboard shades, which were fin i ished by fringes of popcorn. Little bon-bon boxes for the ladies were made in the same way. Those for the gentle men were in the shafte of corn cob I pipes. At the close of the evening the prizes were awarded. The two ladies received pincushions in the shape of corn cobs, and the gentlemen a pipe-rack and match-holder made from real cobs. Both articles were bought in a fancy store. Waldo Pomona Grange.

BRAiN FOOD Is of Little Benefit Unless It Is Di gested. Nearly everyone will admit that as a nation we eat too much meat and too little of vegetables and the grains. For business men. office men and clerks, and in fact everyone engaged in sedentary or Indoor occupations, grains, milk and vegetables are much more healthful. Only men engaged in a severe out door manual labor can live on a heavy meat diet and continue in health. As a general rule, meat once a day is sufficient for all rlasses of men. wo men and children, and grains, fruit and vegetables should constitute the bulk of food eaten. But many of the most nutricious foods are difficult of digestion and it is of no use to advise brain workers to eat largely of grains and vegetables where the digestion is too weak to assimilate them properly. It is always best to get the best re sults from our food that some simple ;md harmless digestive should be taken after meals to assist the relax**' gestive organs, and several years ex perience have proven Stuarts Dyspepsia I Tablets »o be a very safe, pleasant and I effective digestive and a remedy which may be taken daily with the last re suits. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can haid lv be called a patent medicine, as they do not act on the bowels nor any i>ar ticular organ but only on the food eat en Thev supply what weak stomachs lack pepsin diastase and by sttmulat- ine the gastric glands increase the natural secretion of hydrochloric acid People who make a daily practice of taking one or two of Stuart s Dyspep sia Tablets after each meal are sure to have perfect digestion which means perfect health. There is no danger of forming an in jurious habit as the tablets contain absolutely nothing but natural diges tives: cocaine, morphine and similar drugs have no place in a stomach medicine and Stuart s Dyspepsia Tab lets are certainly the best known and most popular of all stomach remedies Ask your druggist for a fifty cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab.ets and after a week's use note the im provement in health, appetite and nervous energy. oct-i-29-e Cherry Pectoral Get well before you have to think of weak lungs, bron chitis, pleurisy.

She stopped at Magdalena bay for about JO hours to tighten parts of her engine and for target practice. The Bogota made very good time after that, taking the outside course, and reached here in fine condition with no sickness on board and ready for action. Soon after the Bogota’s officers had landed Captain Marmaduke visited Gens. Perdomo and Salazar, who wel comed him most cordially. The cap- j tain seemed very much pleased with his reception. The Colombian gunboats Chuculto and Clapte are under the or ders of Captain Marmaduke. who as chief commander, will have charge o! the Colombian fleet, which he will re organize in American style. When the Bogota arrived here Rear Admiral Casey, the American comman der. sent an officer on board of her to inquire if the exchange of flags had been properly made. Captain Marma duke answered that the exchange of flags had been made in San Francisco anil that the Colombian flag had the ght to be where it was. The arrival of the Bogota caused iuch enthusiasm in Conservative dr ies where the event is being properly elebrated. A band of music played hrough the principal parts of the citv. 'he land forts saluted the Bogota on nival and the cruiser replied. Colon. Colombia.

Therefore, there is reason to believe that this last Colombian note respecting the canal treaty which might in itself have afforded the necessary means for a complete agreement between the two countries, is being detained in presenta tion in order that the Colombian govern ment at Bogota may have an opportunity to quality it or even withhold it en tirely, in view of the recent events, which have been so distasteful to them. POWER. NOT SPEED Will Be the Great Point for Armored Cruiser Tennessee. Washington, Oct. 28.—Acting Secre tary Darling has settled the question which has divided the naval construc tion board relative to the proposed armored cruiser Tennessee by accept ing the recommendation of the ma jority of the board in favor of power instead of high speed. The decision was influenced, perhaps, by Admiral Melville himself, who assured the act ing secretary that the majority plans, though short in speed, would give the government a most formidable and de sirable warship. The construction board now will perfect the plans for two small gun boats to be advertised very soon. Dewey's Claim for Prize Money. Washington, Oct. 28.—The United States supreme court, today, heard arguments in the cases of Admiral Dewey against the United States in volving the claim of the admiral and other members of his crew for prize money on account of freight vessels captured in connection with the battle in Manila bay. The total claims amount to about $500,000. COLOMBIA IS GRASPING. Wants Large Cash Payment and More Rental for Canal. Washington. Uct. 2S.--The long ex pected response of the Colombian gov ernment to the proposition made by the state department for the negotiation of a canal treaty, on the lines of the Spooner act, has reached Washington and was presented to the state depart ment, Monday. It is difficult to learn the exact un derstanding of the nature of this com munication, but it is known that it is not altogether an unqualified accept ance of the state department's proposi tion. It is, however, friendly and dig nified in tone, and does not close nego tiations by any means, though it un questionably sets back the date of final agreement by opening up new topics for argument. For one thing the Colombian govern ment now is entirely dissatisfied with the small amount of the payement m he made to it by the I'nited States un der the terms of the protocol which it is proposed to use as the basis of the treaty. This sum is $7,000,000. Colom bia wants ■at least $10,000,000. Moreover. the original proposal looked to a wait for 14 years before be ginning the payment of annual rental, the amount of which was to be fixed bv mutual agreement. Colombia now asks the United States to agree at once to a lump yearly payment of $600,000, which will considerably increase the immediate cost of the enterprise. ENGLISH ARMY ATHLETES. No Better Than West Pointers, but Can Down Our Regulars. Catskill. N. Y„ Got. 28.--Gen. S. M. H. Young. U. S. A., is a guest of George E. McLanahan of Washington. D. C., at Mr. McLanahan's country home here Gen. Young said, Monday, that a published report of the coming to America of non-commissioned officers of the English army is misleading. It is possible, he said, that the Englsh men who are trained athletes may come over and give exhibitions at the mili tary tournament at Madison Square, next spring, and such exhibitions, he added, might prove interesting to Americans as showing the results of physical training in England.

IMPORTANT POINT. Shall Certain Evidence Be Ad-| mitted in Molineux Trial?

Handwriting Expert Says He Makes* His Evidence Fit His Case. More Testimony to Show Molineux Wrote Letters in Question. Interest in the Molineux trial cen tered, today. In the efforts of the prose cution to introduce the evidence given at the iirst trial by two important witnesses who are now in New Jersey and beyond the jurisdiction of the court. The witnesses in question are Mamie Meiando, the girl formerly em ployed by Molineux, who testified that he used the th»'ee crescent note palter th: t c *.in. i so prominently in the trial, and Joseph Harrell, a Newark del:- five, Wi.o I* stilicd to having seen Molineux on the afternoon th>- silver bottleholder was bought. Great im portance is-attached to Judge I-ini bert’s decision relative to this testi mony. Handwriting experts continued, to day, to testify as to the identity of the writing of the poison package ad dress, and of the Cornish and Barnet letters with that of Molineux. Herbert Twitched, an assistant teller the Chase National Bank, testified as an expert in handwriting. Reply ing to questions by Assistant District Attorney Osborne, Mr. Twitched said he had carefully examained all the handwriting exhibits in the case, the conceded and disputed writings, in cluding the poison package address and he believed that all were written by the same hand. Mr. Twitched said on cross-exami nation that he had rejected, signatures at his bank and later they hail been proved to be genuine. Lewis Arthur Russell, a music teacher of Newark, was the next wit ss. He was called at the last trial .prove that Molineux and Archibald Arnold, the head salesman at Hartde n’s store in Newark, were warm ft lends and were schoolmates w ith him at the same school. Mr. Arnold is one of the New; rk witnesses the prosecu tion had been unable to tiling to New York. Mr. Russell said, today, that he and the defendant had always been friends. He said the direct road from bis studio where Molineux often called the railroad station passed Hartde u.-n's sii.i f. Tht nil) fi.ai alt a cill ti t. I' i I l* tie* signature o!

Hay said tat the word “flentlemen” in the dif ferent letters to patent medicine firms ad in tile "request'' writings showed i lie same “g" and a patching of letters i tarvellous" in their similarity.

In other words, the valuation made by the State assessors upon property in Maine’s 20 cities will be at least $5,000,000 more than the amount assessed by the local assessors. So that all the cities will pav into tlie State treasury in taxes upon their property the sum of $13,750 more than they get from their individ ual taxpayers. In 1900 the State as sessors valued the cities of Maine at $146,223,586, and this year the total will exceed $150,000,000.

On Sunday, dynamite was explod ed iti ,he lake, which killed a number of bass and pickerel, but failed to raise the body. Young Sherman, who was with Bar-lay when the accident oc curred, was completely exhausted when rescued, and is still very ill. He is un able to tell anything about the sad af fair and the searchers after the body of the unfortunate victim are handi capped by the lack of knowledge as to the locality where Barclay sank. A set of farm buildings, four or five miles out of the village of Caribou, be longing to J. B. Williams of Fort Pair Held, were burned, Friday evening. Th house had been vacartt for a short time but was formerly occupied by two fam ilies. those of Frank Walton and James Kelley. It is not known how the tire originated hut it is supposed a spark from the eaqne on the U. A. Railroad caused it, as the track is very near the buildings and the train passed by a short time before the fire was discov ered. The loss to Mr. Williams will be very heavy, for aside from loss of the buildings, which had l>een thoroughly renovated and enlarged and a new burn recently built, there were 7f> tons of hay stoied in the barn. The buildings were insured. H. B. Pratt of Caribou, was a passen ger on the evening train from Moul ton. Saturday, to Caribou, and when the train had proceeded a short dis tance from Koulton he fell from the train and was for half a day lost to the world, for his friends did not again get track of him until noon the next day. Early the following morning, the Bangor A Aroostook management sent out hand car from Moulton, which proceeded up the track a few miles but without making any discovery. A loco motive was then sent out and at lengtn it v,as ascertained that Pratt was at a farmhouse about half a mile north of Whitneys pit. Mr. Pratt was feel ing quite well. Monday, although of course he was much bruised. No bones Were broken and oddly enough Mr. Pratt is utterly unable to recall any thing that took place after he left Houlton. His escape was certainly miraculous, as the train runs at the rat" of 40 to f.0 miles an hour at that place. General Manager Kvans makes a pos itive though guarded denial of some of the stories about contemplated changes in the line of direct railroad communi cation between Portland and Bar Har bor. eonlining his denials to the par ticular dispatch shown him. So he says nothing about the Bath bridge or about crossing the river at Richmond. Rut he declares false the story that the railroad is thinking of turning Bar Harbor navel over a line from Rock land to Belfast and Bueksport, there to cross the Pejepscot and connect with the Bangor and llucksport line. Man ager Evans says in regard to the state ment that the present resources of the Maine Central at Bangor will be taxed beyond their capacity in a short time, on account of the Immense amount of freight coining over the Bangor Aroostook railroad: "I can say that we are perfectly able to handle all the business that comes through Bangor, and as far as we can see ahead shall be able to take care of it in the future without the slightest trouble.” J. R. Lib! v of Portland, Saturday, re ceived a check for $.'00 from David ("rear, the treasurer of the Missionary Alliance, as indemnity for a printing press destroyed by the Boxers in China. For several years Air. Libby supported a missionary and his family In north ern China. Trie missionary. Mr. Ole son. wrote that a printing press would he a great help to him in his work. So some nine years ago Mr. Libby bought a press and sent it out to him for his use. It went across the continent to the Pacific coast, thence by steamer to Chiilti. From the coast it was toted by drags away up north more than 600 miles farther into the interior than a printing press had ever gone before. It was used m printing tracts, gospel hymns and other helps, to good advan tage. Specimens of the printing were sent to Mr. Libby and translated fur hint by an Americanized Chinaman. During the Boxer trouble two years ago the missionary. Mr. Oleson, his wife and three children were murdered, and the printing press and mission property destroyed. Mr. Libby made a demand on the Chinese authorities, through the Christian Missionary Alliance, for in demnity. Coroner Schultz held an autopsy at Lebanon. Pa., on the remains of William B. Shtiey. a wealthy farmer, who was found dead in his orchard. Sunday even ing. The autopsy revealed the fact that Shuey was shot twice in the face. Xei tiler bullet, however, caused death and he was apparently clubbed to death. Sliuey had a large #snm of money in his possession when he left Lebanon, last week, for his home. Imt his pockets were empty when the body was found. No ar rests have tieen made. MARKET REPORTS NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Features of the Day's Dealings in All the Leading Stocks. New York.

Keating of Portland, who represents the British empire in that city, was asked recently to ascertain the whereabouts of a Mrs. Medway, who lived in Portland 17 years ago. Yesterday, he was inform ed that the lady died in this city sev eral years ago. and he made up a full report of the case and forwarded it to England. Shortly after 11 o'clock Monday night, two men. one large in size and the other small, were seen trying to pick the lock in the door of the State Street Phar macy. The approach of the man who saw them scared the fellows and thev ran across the court house lot and disaopeared.down Court street. It looks as if the stores on State street have been selected as the particular objec tive points of Augusta's unknown burglars.

New York, has in this city an expo nent of his method of voice teaching in Miss Louise B. Robinson, who has studied with him daily, throughout the summer. Mr. Sealy charmed Au gusta people with his exquisite organ playing, as did Mrs. Sealy with her glorious voice, which has been so beautifully trained by Mr. Sealy. About noon, yesterday, a lot of drift wood commenced to float down the river, due undoubtedly to the rise in the water. The wood averaged about four feet in length and most of it was wood that had come from a fire, evi dently, for it appeared to have been burnt somewhat. It is said that there was an old building just this side of Waterville. which was badly damaged by fire and possibly that the rise in wa ter might have caused it to start out. It is also said that there was consid erable timber of this sort on the banks of the river at Fairfield. One more of Augusta's hunters has ad his ambitions gratified, this fall, nd that is F. M. Bowman, who has list returned from the wilds of Moore ille. five miles from Katahdin Iict Vorks.
