AUGUSTA IS TU HAVE A FINE NEW HOTEL That Will Rank In Equipment and Accommodations With the Very Best In the State. JP TO DATE IN EVERY WAY. List of Our Prominent Citizens En= gaged In the Movement and Who Promise Its Success. .m a meeting ot subscribers Held yesterday afternoon in the office of Heath Andrews, the Augusta Hotel Company was duly organized with the choice oi lion. C. S. Hichborn for pres ident, A. W. Brooks for treasurer and C. L. Andrews for clerk, and the following board of directors: Lendall Titcomb. S. C. Manley, II. M. Heath, Leslie C. Cor nish, Percy V. Hill. M. S. Holway, Richard E. Goodwin, Guy P. Gannett, A. Brooks, Arthur F. Parrott, Byron Bovd, C. B. Burleigh, Thomas J. Lynch, Orville D. Baker, Fred G. Kins man, Norman L. Bassett, Nathan T. Weston, John E. Liggett, George E. Macomber, S. S. Patten, C. S. Hichborn. The company has a capital stock of $60,000 all of which has been subscribed. Steps have been taken to secure its incorpora tion under the laws of the State. There will be no delay in push ing the project, and by the time the frost is out of the ground in the spring plans and specifications will be completed, and every thing will be in readiness to begin the active work of construc tion. In addition to the cash subscription of $60,000 the com pany has acquired the perpetual lease of the entire Augusta House property, making the total proposition rising $100,000. With these resources available, and with the members of the company fully determined to secure the results they are after, even if it involves an increase of the capital stock, it is assured that before the beginning of another year the city of Augusta will have completed one of the largest and best hotels in the State of Maine. The new hotel will be provided with first-class elevator service, modern sanitary plumbing, and will be newly furnished from top to bottom. Besides the complete rebuilding and remodeling of the present Augusta House, a'large addition is to be erected which will greatly increase the capacity of the house and enable it to pro vide abundance of room for all who may desire to be accommo dated there. Not only has the Augusta House been obtained upon advan tageous terms, but the stockholders have contributed one-half of the amount in common stock upon which they expect no return, in order that the rates to the public may be kept down to the lowest possible figure. It is the intention of the stockholders not only to provide a service that shall be first-class in every particular, but also to furnish it at as low rates as can be se cured at any similar house in the New England states. Not only will this new hotel be of inestimable value when the Legis lature is in session, but it will also be at all times H great con venience to our citizens and to the travelling public. We think that the names of the citizens identified with this movement will be a sufficient guarantee to the people of Maine that they arc acting in entire good faith, and that they will do all they have undertaken to do, in a manner to meet the approval of the Legislature and the public. The following arc the terms of the subscriptions, the names of the subscribers and the amounts subscribed: itock Subscription of Augusta Hotel Company. In consideration of the mutual agree lents herein contained, we, the under lined. hereby agree each with the ther to subscribe for and take at their ar value the amount of the capital tock of the Augusta Hotel Company set opposite our respective names.

Howard Gould’s Yacht Has Harrow Escape In Hampton Roads. Now York, Feb. 4.-The yawl yacht Taormina, which sailed from this port last Saturday on u cruise around the world, came back to the harbor in tow today in a badly damaged condition, after a series of most unfortunate mis haps. The Taormina's troubles began within a few hours after she sailed. When she was scarcely more than 40 miles from Sandy Hook, just after mid night Saturday, she was in collision with the four*-maFted schooner Long fellow from Philadelphia for an Eea tern port and her deck fittings were carried tiway. That day a dense fog set in, and while the damaged yacht was creeping along in the evening an unknown steamer suddenly loomed up thrcmgh the fog and crashed into her." Tire steamer struck the Taormina on fhe starboard side, near the bow, tear ing a big hole in her side. The water poured through the hole in a Hood and the 11 men on the yacht were kept constantly at the pumps to keep the craft alloat. She was finally picked up by the Guiding Star and towed to Brooklyn. On board the Taormina was her millionaire" owner Ralph Branderlip and hi.a guests, a young scientist, nam ed Dr. Franz Von Teuber as well as the yacht's officers and the crew of seven men. One of the officers was injured. Norfolk, Va„ Feb. 4.—Howard Gould’s bark rigged steam yacht Niagara nar rowly escaped being rammed and pos sibly sunk in Hampton Roads last night. So narrow was her escape that the three-masted schooner Harbeson Hick man raked the flag pole from her stern and carried away some minor rigging astern. As the Hickman was coming by Old Point before a brisk breeze, the Niagara, bound from New York for Jacksonville, via Norfolk, approached and tried to cross ahead of the Hick man. When she was dead ahead the yacht stopped and it seemed to those on the schooner that her engines were disabled. The schooner's helm was put about and she sheered off, gruzing the Niagara's stern. One of the neewst improvements in the carpenter's kit is a square which may he quickly taken apart for packing. SNOW.

Thaw Much Downcast When Wife Is Forced to Leave—Hereditary Insanity Is the Defence. New York, Feb. 4.—The state laid its case against Harry K. Thaw today- a bald, unemotional story of the shooting on the Madison Square Roof Garden, leaving the malice and the motive to be inferred from the act—and the de fence replied with a plea of hereditary insanity. It was asserted that Thaw in slaying Stanford White believed he was acting- as an agent of Providence, that real or fancied wrongs committed against him by the architect and for mer friend of his wife, had boiled and bubbled in his brain until at last there ’ante the explosive impulse to kill. When the deed was done Thaw made to move to escape its consequences, but holding the fatal revolver aloft he •stood as if mutely proclaiming to the ivorld: “The deed is alone; it was right; t was not wrong.” Thus Thaw's counsel outlined his :ase to the jury this afternoon after the irosecution had occupied less than two tours of the morning sitting of the ■ourt in relating through eye wit tesses the narrative of the tragedy. iVhen the defence had interposed its pica and outlined its case, an adjourn ment was taken until tomorrow ntorn ng, when the first witnesses in Thaw's telialf will he heard. “You will hear the story of this nan's insanity.” Attorney John R. Reason for the deft nee promised the ury, "from.his mother, from his wife, rom his relatives and from his physi cians. You will judge him by his acts, >y the hereditary and stress which im ereti into his madness, and when you come to judge him you will say to your self that his ac t may have been one of nsanity, but it was not one of crime.” That Thaw's wife was to be one of tis most important witnesses lias long been known; that his mother, Mrs. William Thaw of Pittsburg, was to take the stand only became known positively today when the court en forced tile rule excluding from the ■ourt room all witnesses save experts. Hum's mother at the command, left he room after a moment's hesitation, she seemed unwilling to be parted mom her son in the hour of Ills need, flis wife reluctantly left the room, be llowing a last, radiant smile of cour igc and hope upon her prisoner hus )and.

Moses Albert Loses Home—Loss $2000; Insurance $1500. Rumford Falls, Me., Feb. 4.— (Spe cial).—The house of Moses Albert was destroyed by fire today. The loss is estimated at $2000 and the insurance Is $1500. Mr. Albert, with his family has been in the woods all the winter and was to have returned and occu pied his house tonight. He sent word to a friend to build a fire and get the flushed cheeks which at time were buried in his hands, and with eyes cast down upon the table before him. He seldom looked up. just a fleeting glance now and then at the man who was making the Initial plea for his life and freedom. Never once did liis eyes go to the jury box where 12 men, with grave faces, listened Intently to every word of Mr. Gleason's somewhat lengthy address. There was another period—during the morning session—when Thaw again looked only at his hands, clasped before him on the table. This was when Lawrence 'White, the 19-vear old son of Stanford White occupied the stand as the first witness for the prosecution. Young White, who is a Harvard student was not a material witness. He was with his father at the dinner the evening of the tragedy but left him before he went to Madison Square Garden. White was alone it was testified when Thaw approached from behind wheeled, faced him and sent three bullets crashing into his body and brain. Counsel told the story of Thaw's de fence in conversational way as if he were taking every juror of the 12 in his confi dence. They listened intently. Mr. Glea son was twice interrupted by District At torney Jerome on the ground that he was arguing the ease instead of plainly ex plaining what the evidence was to be. The interruptions caused Mr. Gleason to repent in some instances, hut his re marks did not seem to lose weight by til process. In adopting a calm dispassionate note in addressing the jury. Thaw's attorney followed in the pathway ltewn by Assist ant District Attorney Gtirvan. who open ed for the prosecution at the beginning of today's session. It was reported that the prisoner's wife may he among the first to give testimony for the defence. Even after testifying site will still be denied the privilege of the court room., for the ruling by Justice Fitzgerald, upon consent of counsel, was to exclude witnesses both before and af ter testifying, it being argued by Mr. Jerome that maltty may be recalled front j time tu time.

Volunteer Firemen Lose Lives at While Plains.

Four Others Injured, One nf Them Probably Fatally. Several Severely Hurt In Early Fire In New York City. White Plains, X. Y., Feb. 4.—Three volunteer firemen were killed and four injured, one probably fatally, while at work early this morning on the ruins of the Mead building on Railroad ave nue, which was burned late last night. The dead are: John Chester Crom well, 30 years of age. assistant cashier of the First National Bank, of which institution his father is president; Charles E. Cooley, 30 years old. a real estate agent; Caleb Underhill, 32 years old. a liveryman. The injured: Emil Burgh, 34 years old, a candy manufacturer, who It is feared will not recover; Churles Sutton, both legs broken; Charles Armbruster. both legs broken: Stephen B. Lyon, burned about the body. All tl^e men with the exception of Lyon, were on a ladder and were try ing to pull down a cornice of the burn ing building when the accident oc curred. Lyon received his injuries while fighting the blaze at another point. The lire was nearly out when the others were killed or injured. A big galvanized cornice threatened to fall and the fire men set to work to pull It down. They put up a ladder against an adjoining building and after a rope ^ad been thrown around the cornict^the men mounted the ladder and started to pull. The cornice swung toward them and fell, bringing down with it about two feet of the brick wall. A great show er of bricks fell upon the men on the ladder and they with the ladder were swept to the ground. Cooley and Un derhill were dead when taken from the mass of brick and mortar. All of the injured except Lyon were taken to the White Plains hospital. Burgess was found to have a fracture at the base of the brain and he is reported to be very low. Cromwell died soon after reach ing the hospital. While seriously injured. Sutton and Armbruster are expected to recover. Lyon is not seriously hurt. The men kiiied ail had their skulls crushed and were otherwise injured. All of the men killed were well known here and Crom well was prominent socially. Tlie tire started in the clothing store of the Friedmann-Gotlieb Co. from an unknown cause. The West Chester Lighting Co. had offices in the building and the Masonic Temple was also lo cated there. The total loss is about *80,000. SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED. Some Probably Fatally In Upper Story of Burning Rag Shop. New Yrk, Feb. 4.—Several persons ivere injured, some of them probably fatally, while penned in the upper story of a burning rag shop in Cherry street, early today. All the occupants >f the building were asleep when the Ire was discovered. The interior was: llled with suffocating smoke when the dromon reached the scene and none of he dozen occupants of the building •uId leave by the stnirways. Maggie smith, Annie Hcsdon and several men lumped from second story windows, tome of them were caught In the arms if firemen and saved from serious in jury, but Maggie Smith fractured both inkles and it is feared that Mrs. Hes lon suffered a fracture of the skull.

STILL MORE TESTIMONY For Advisability of Not Locating Capitals in the Larger Cities.

Additional opinions received from the officials of other states concerning the most desirable location of a state’s capital only give added weight to the arguments of those already published. The almost unanimous opinion continues in favor of a smaller city as compared to the metropolis of a state on account of the efficiency and economy which the former works and also in favor of a central location as compared to one in one end or corner or a state on account of the increased travelling expense and •inconvenience which the latter arrangement would work. Governor Beckham of Kentucky speaks stronglv against the location of a state’s capitol in the largest city. And other official back up his view, holding that the atmosphere of a state’s metrop olis is unfavorable to the kind of legislation the people want, on account of more active lobbying of corporate interests. 'I he views of Pennsylvania officials coincide large!v with these. Governor Stuart, himself a Philadelphian, nevertheless favors a central location and other officers are outspoken in their advocacy of a smaller citv. ermont, where there has been considerable agitation in past years for a relocation of the capital, ha- taken tlie matter in a common sense light, the general opinion having been that it ill behoved the state to spend money badly needed In other works for a show project not actually needed. I'ecling against ex travagance doubtless was a chief cause of the present law which declares Montpelier the permanent -eat of the state government. COST PILED UP. North Caroling Started With $50,000 and Spent Over $500,000. Ralt'igli, X. IVl). 4.— tSp*-, i;«l). The experience of Xorth Carolina in keeping xvitli that of many other states has been that public buildings- usually cost more than the original appropria tions, and consequently that it is not sate to figure on these appropriations as a sure bases of expense to the state. This state has more than three million dollars invested in publie buildings and almost unvariably the cost has th*» estillicit**. North Carolina has bail but two capital buildings. The second (and present) was begun in IS33 and com pleted in 1840 and while the original appropriation for its construction was $50,000 Its Anal cost totaled $530,004.15. In providing for the second capital the General Assembly thought that $50,000 would replace the former capi tal which had been burned in sub stantially tlie same form and dimen sions, but with improvements that ■would make it a modern building. The commissioners authorized to do the work had longer iip-as. They planned a building of stone i onslructiou on a Grecian model, and they found that the appropriation would be barely suf ficient for the foundations, and ex pended the whole of it for that pur pose. The General Assembly reluc tantly fell in with tlie plans of the commissioners and supplied the funds necessary to carry on the work. The result was a capital building that was lor 50 years the finest in the South. BIG CITIES BAD CAPITALS Pennsylvania Officials Not in Favor of Capital in Largest City. Harrisburg. Pa.. Fell. 4.—(Special).— The question of the most satisfactory location for the state cupitol. as well as that of the selection of the largest city in the state for such a purpose was thoroughly Rone into In Pennsylvania in 18S». when a bill providing for the removal of the capital from Harris burg to Philadelphia was defeated. The erection in this city of the new $13,000,000 capitol lias forever precluded the possibility of further agitation in that direction. Publie opinion has always been strong to the effect that the capitol should m*t he located in a large city, but rather it should 'oe in a small city where the diversions from state bttsi ness were not sir-wig enough to tempt legislators to neglect their duties as law makers. The question of geo graphical locality also had something to do with keeping the capitol iiere. When Gov. Stuart, himself a Phila delphian. was asked today of the ad vantage of the pi Hoy of keeping tit. capital of a state away from the largest city, he said tliat he did not care to discuss that phase of the ques tion. “You know." saiil tlie governor, "that my native city is the largest, that she did make some claims for the capitol some years ago. and that the matter is settled. But 1 believe that the capital of a state should be located where it ■will lie most convenient for the people to reach it. and so placed that th. In additi >n it is heln'til to the morals of i the ieglslatois who are away from i home for months with no hom» inIIti- i etiees H is natural for them to seek lor diversion which may take soin" i lorm of dissipation. This they do not i tmd in a small eity to the extent that i they do in a larg" one. a rendition all the more henefieial to the legislator.'’ Auditor Cent ral Snyder, who was one i of the builders of the new i upitol, was I emphatie iii his declaration that a state eapitol should not be located in the largest eity of the slate. Philadelphia, although near my i home, should not ho made the capital," i said he, "nor should the state capital of any state be located ill its largest eity. It is demoralizing to the mem bers of the Legislature. You .will re- i member that when the last t’onstitu- c Ilona! convention was held in Pennsyl vania it was removed from Harrisburg to Philadelphia and it was all the Sergeant-at-Arms could do to secure a quorum to hold a meeting. The mem bers of this most important body were continually straying after amusements and neglecting their business, and as a i ons, oueiice sessions w ere strung out for months.” THE METROPOLIS CORRUPTS Kentucky Thinks Legislative Morals Higher in a Small Capital. Frankfort. Ky.. Fob. 4.—(Special).— Kentucky state officials and prominent citizens are almost unanimous in the •pinion that the good of the (Tomnion wciilfli and of the public weal are better served by the location of the ipital at Frankfort than at Louisville, the metropolis of the state. The capi tal has just been pennon nitty located here after a light in which Ue> senti ment of the lenders of all parties fa vored the smaller city. Governor J. \Y. l-t»ckliam. just f leeted to tli" I nited States Senile, fa vored Frankfort in several strong messages. "In it city, su.-h as Louisville, with its host of attractions and allurements, the public service would most certain ly suffer severely by the department employes' distraction from their du ties.” said lie. “and l doubt not that with a legislature in session at sueli a plaee. it would be next to impossible to keep a quorum present. Away from the excitement of a large city the of ficials and employees give faithful per formance of their duties and the peo ple's interest receive their full and un divided attention." State Auditor S. W. Hager, who has been nominated for governor says: “There can be no ground for debate on the question of whether it is best to have the state capital away from the largest city. One of the reasons is that it keeps down the number of visitors and idle callers to the mini mum and enables the employes to de vote themselves more assiduously to their duties." Other prominent officials say that with the Kentucky capital located at a large city there is no telling what character of legislation would he foist ed upon the people. It would lie im possible, they say. to prevent corrupt ing influences from working untrani meled upon the members at large. At a smaller place like this, further more. e\ery man who approaches a member is known, his business under stood. his purpose instantly divined an I the power of the lobbyist for sinister designed curbed to a point which would be impossible at the metropolis. Kvery legislator stands out in the spot light here. His every act is un der surveillance, and the first move from the straight and narrow path of rectitude is immediately known by all. and the result is that a higher mot ale in the legislature and among the of ficials is maintained. They hesitate long if inclined to b-' tiay the confidence reposed in them by ;li. uencle. end the Ft alt prospers n n this same question in the House some years ago Hon. J.

C„ Feb. 4.—Further ad vices from the famine district of Cen tral China, received by the steamship Tartar, stale that smallpox has brok-n out in tin? camps and in consequence officials are breaking them up. The people are numbed by suffering and pa tiently submit to being driven. Tele grams to the Jiji Shippi say upwards of half a million people will die. of starvation or disease incidental to the terrible conditions prevailing in tle l'amine districts. Relief measures un stated to be inefficient and the iilt'.i amid which the famine stricken people live is described as shocking. No san itary measures of any kind were adopt ed and it was inevitable that a posti l-nee should follow. The steamer Tartar brought advices that tlie ievolution in Central China is becoming a serious menace to China. an and Kwangtung is threatened with the rrsu.t that a formidable rebellion will follow. Sun Yat Sen, the Kwang tung rebel leader, who escaped from the Chinese legation in London some years ago in a sensational manner, is living in Tokio, Japan, and is organiz ing the revolution, which, he says in an interview, is expected to achieve the fall of the present IWanvlui dynasty at Pekin within three years.

The Catholic officials here are waiting to see the effect of the circular before interpreting its true meaning, but it is believed that it the necessary minimum is insured the Holy See will tolerate the situation.

GARDINER At the meeting of the official board of the Methodist church Sunday morn ing after the regular services a mat ter was brought up and almost set tled that will be good news to all inter ested in the welfare of the church. For the last few years there has been an increase of debt that was small but a drawback to all. At this meeting a sum of was accepted from the Ladies' Aid and another $100 was raised by the board. This leaves but $100 more to he raised and it is hoped this will be done at once. It is now an assured fact that there will be a new draw to the bridge across the river. A part of the new iron work has arrived and the workmen are ex pected at any time. That all may be in readiness when work begins, the wood en walk across the river was begun yesterday. This will be six feet wide u itll a rail on both sides and where the current runs swiftly will be supported by heavy logs that there may be no danger from sinking. The Gardiner end will be on Gray’s wharf and the Ran dolph end on the government wharf. Botli will be lighted by electric lights and every precaution for safety taken. Teams will have to go above the bridge, landing at tho town landing on this side and just above the bridge at Randolph. The icy conuiuon or me sirct-ts um caused quite a number of runaways lately, but fortunately none have re sulted seriously. Sunday evening the horse of Allie Potter started from Spear's Corner and made the run to Gardiner in short, tune without a driv er. Luckily, there was no one in his way and when he reached the stable of Parker McGugin, lie turned safely in. The only damage was a few slight scratches to both sleigh and horse. Monday morning a horse driven by Harry Glazier, became frightened at the electric cars and started up Main street, Farmingdale. He ran to the home of T. McGugin, Bowman street, where he was stopped. No damage was done excepting the spilling of the wares in the street. In the afternoon a horse of Mrs. Arthur Moores turned the corner of Depot square quickly and threw Mrs. Moores to the street. The animal was quickly stopped and only a few scratches were found on the sleigh. Mrs. Moores suffered a few scratches but was only slightly shaken up. CITY GOVERNMENT.

The insurance on the building is paid by the Library Association. The special committee that lias been looking after the settlement of taxes were appointed to make a settlement with A. K.

The petition of the Gardiner, Richmond Topsham Street Railroad Co. fora per mit to lay their rails through the streets of this city as per their plan, was grant ed with the exception that the distance from Winter street to the southerly line of Main street was refused. An informal report was made in regard to the Scbattus electric railroad and tills was most satisfactory. From what somr of the leading officials of the proposed line have said, they most favorably view ed the Gardiner route. Not only this, but all seemed most anxious for the road to take this course. This will give them a great deal more of a route along th highway, and as West Gardiner has nutd. several propositions that would mean a great deal in the construction, oil seem ed favorable to this route. Three jurors for the March term of thi supreme court were drawn last evening Van R. Beedlc, George B. Morse and Eu gene Danforth. THE ICE BUSINESS.

This has been anythin; but a profitable harvesting time fo; from the first to th'' persent time, then has been no time when they have no had a full crew at work cultivating their fields. The rivers and ponds fron which they get their harvest froze ove the first of December and soon afte came a snow storm there was not suf ficient thickness to allow the workini of the teams and their fields had ti be sunk that the ice might make.

HEAVY SNOW STORM Is Coming Up Along Coast and Will Be With Us Today. Boston, Fob. 5.—What promised to le one of the severest storms of the •season began last evening in southern New England about drak, and extend ed gradually up the coast until at mid night it was snowing furiously as far north as Manchester. The storm, although early giving evidences of considerable intensity, was very slow coining up the coast, and it was five hours after the snow began falling in Newport, R. I„ before the storm reached this city. .Storm warnings for this section of the coast had not been hoisted at dark last night so that nearly all the coast wise shipping left port on time. It was expected early today that some of them would fel the effects of the storm be fore they had proceeded far. At 12.30 o’clock this morning the wind was blowing 20 miles an hour, from the northeast and about three inches of snow had fallen in two hours in ithis city. At the same time at Newport, It. I., it was blowing 40 miles an hour and nearly a foot of snow was on the ground, while the storm gave every indication of increasing in in tensity. At Block Island, R I., at 12.45 A. M., it was blowing a gale from the north east with thick snow and the observer there seemed to think that it was in creasing. Between midnight and 1 o’clock on the southern New England coast, the storm was rapidly nearing hurricane proportions and there was some anxiety regarding the steamer Charles j F. Mayer, which sailed from Vineyard Haven for Baltimore yesterday after noon, with two light barges, as well as several schooners, tugs and barges. TRAFFIC PaIrTIALLY BLOCKED. Severe Storm Strikes New York City in Full Force. New York, Feb. 4.—Semi-blizzard weather struck New York today and, after 12 hours’ steady snowfall, traf fic was partially blocked on elevated and surface lines tonight. It wa: snowing at a late hour and the city had made arrangements to put 3000 men al work early clearing the streets tomor row morning. Aa the night progressed conditions be Hood's Pills £3 After-dinner pill: purely romcahl#: prompt u4 pleasant: easy to take and way to operate. He. camp more serious and as a result the cross-town llr.es wore blocked on many streets and the electric cars on the main thoroughfares were practically at a standstill. The elevated roads in Man hattan and Brooklyn suffered severely and most of the traffic In Manhattan was delivered to the subway. Because of the thick weather ferryboats were put on hourly schedules and ono or two lines suspended altogether. On Long Island conditions were even more uncomfortable. Hemstead, for In stance. was cut off from railroad connec tion with New York because of the de railment of a train and the impossibility in the storm of clearing the tracks. Very Severe at Baltimore. Baltimore. Md., Feb. 4.—A snow storm that began about 3 o'clock this morning anil has continued without interruption since, at midnight shows no signs of abatement. This, with the large amount of ice in the Chesapeake bay, has par alyzed the movement of shipping Into and out of this port. Even the steamers for Norfolk, usually the last to give in to adverse weather conditions, were com pelled to abandon their trips tonight Blizzard Style at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Feb. 4.-Snow which be gan falling early this morning has con tinued without a letup/ The snow is accompanied by a high wind and trolley lines in the eity are seriously handicap ped. The suburban trolley lines in near ly all cases are completely out of ser vice. The storm shows no signs of abat ing. Found Unconscious in the 8now. Jersey City, N. J„ Feb. 4.—John Btant ley and James Miller were found unoon sciotis in the enow In this city tonight and were taken to a hospital. Miller Is In a eiitleal condition. Trolley service is badly crippled on account of the storm and the situation Is growing worsen DUAL IDENTITY. Young Woman Masquerades As a Young Man. Beaumont, Texas, Fob. 4.—A strange case of dual personality came to light here yesterday. On Dec. 17 of last year, a person apparently about 25 years old, who gave the name of Perry Mar tin, secured employment at the Oaks hotel as bellboy, remaining until Inst Friday, when it was learned that tho sex of the employe had been disguised. Charged with masquerading the young woman burst into tears and confessed her sex. She declared she had been compelled by circumstances to don man’s apparel and pleaded to be re tained. She volunteered no statement as to her past life and career, and the manager of the hotel, not allowing her to remain in his employ, she left yes terday for Houston. During her stay here, she became popular among a circle of friends and on occasions would go to theaters and elsewhere with parties of young men. A strange feature of the story of the young woman is her affection for a young woman in New York City, to whom she said she was engaged to he married. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE. Shapleigh Farmer Vanishes from Road Between Sanford and Springvale. Sanford, Me., Feb. 4.—Somewhere In the mile and a fraction between the village of Sanford and Springvale, Benjamin Thompson, a Shapleigh farmer, has disappeared and a deputy sheriff and constable are trying to solve the mystery. Thompson Is a bachelor of 70 years. He came to Sanford last Saturday to trade and left for Springvale at about 6 P. M. Half an hour later his team was found on the Springvale road with his over coat and mittens in the pung. Care ful inquiry and search along the road have failed to reveal any trace of him since. His sisters, with whom he liv ed, said that he had about $11 in cash when ho left home. Samuel Evans, a British soldier, died at Plymouth in 1809, having lived 16 day* after being shot through the heart The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths. There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it—heart dis ease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kid ney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed t<wlvancc tliekidney-poison _ ed blood will at tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained Quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you arc feel ing badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr.-Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and'over comes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful new. dis covery and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kil mer Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

Me.. Feb. ■!.—(Special) Automobiles will be the rase in Port land during the week of February «u March 2 when Frederick M. Prescott will give his second annual automo bile and power boat show in the auditorium. This will be an elaborate exhibition and the achievement of the decorators alone will be worth the time and expense necessary for people from all over Maine to attend. Mr. Prescott gave an attractive exhibition last year. It drew great crowds every day and evening but there was nothing in the way of decorations to compare with the superb system which will be in vogue this year. He aims to make it the most attractive interior ever in spected by a critical public in this State and those who are interested in either land or water power machines will find here their favorite vehicles, housed in palatial quarters embellished with unlimited beauties that are possi ble only for original creative genius. More electric lights than were ever hung in the building before will throw brilliant illumination from the broad ceiling which will be cleverly con cealed above a network of tapestries and California flowers. Bright col ored hangings will cover the bare walls while every exhibitor will be sheltered by rare palms from the tropics. Thus the combination will be brought about that will afford the most attractive set ting for the great touring cars and swift motor boats. .Vor should It be forgotten that a special floor covering of given, in modified shades, will car pet the floor and the signs for each exhibitor will be uniform ir. six-; and design.

In the current number of Pear son's Magazine James Creelman tells the story of one partliular victory which Mr. Strauss won in Turkey. The details are interesting as illustrating the difference between American and European diplomacy. Mr. Strauss ac complished, by his consistent firmness in refusing to accept social honor.' from a government which iinprisonec without cause numbers of his race what European diplomats had vainly striven for years to bring about, am as a Jew he kon for the Christiai church in Turkey and for American, throughout the Mohammedan empire t i riuiripiiu.ni. recugimiiMi iuumucu common justice that was irrespective of race or c reed. He was more than a Jew throughout that long and sinuous struggle, for he embodied in his combined personal and oiticial attitude tha very spirit of Amer ican institutions. If he strained the red tape of tradition, it was in the di rection of that broad humanity which disregards the nationality or religion of those who are oppressed and directs its Just rebukes toward oppressors'only. Going to Jerusalem to inspect the American consulate, he was met at Jaffa by official represeutatives of the governor of Palestine and informed that the railroad between Jaffa and Jerusalem was to be opened in his honor. Mr. Strauss sternly declined ilu favor. "You have put hundreds of my breth ren in your prisons in Palestine," he de clared, “for no reason but that they arc Jews. 1 can accept nothing at the hands of the governor of Palestine un til these prisoners are freed." Instead of using the gorgeous state special train. Mr. Strauss rode as a private citizen. There were about 40i Jews in prison in Palestine for no othei reason than their nationality. Thej were not American citizens, and as ar official representative of this countrj Mr. Strauss did not pretend to speak But the representatives of the countries of which the prisoners were citizen! had vainly protested against their im prisonment. The whole matter hai ended in protests, yet the simple am dignified rebuke of Mr. Strauss openet the doors of those Palestine prisotis t< the captives. and the Christ iai churches of America thanked the Jev who won for the cause of justice am religious tolerance, under which a lorn all races and creeds can prosper, thi: substantial victory.

A Brave Maine Soldier Gone. One of the bravest and best known of Maine’s many brave soldiers who won prominence in the Civil War was General Isaac W. Starbird, who died in Boston last Saturday. Gen* Star bird was a native of Kennebec county, having been born in 1839 in the good old town of Litchfield, which has given the world so many men of noble character who have accomplished great things in their life. Gen. Star bird graduated from Bowdoin College in the class of 1802, and like most of his classmates, at once enlisted in the service of his country. One of his classmates was Charles P. Mattocks, who like himself became a brigadier general before the close of the war. Others who won commissions were Melville A. Cochran, who was also a Litchfield boy, William K. Donnell, George W. Edwards, Almon Goodwin, Thomas H. Green, Frederick X. Hus ton, Augustus X. Linscott, George E. Moulton, Joseph Xoble, an Augusta boy, Howard L. Prince, Almon L. Varney and Marcus Wight all of whom won rank as captains, majors, or colonels before the close of the war and several of whom gave their lives in the conflict. Gen. Starbird entered the service as a captain in the 19th Maine Volun teers, received his baptism of fire at Fredericksburg, became a major soon after and became colonel of his regi ment in time to lead it in the desper ate lighting about Petersburg where he won the rank of brigadier-general. He led that famous charge of the 19th Maine before Petersburg June 18, 1884 when of more than 900 dauntless Maine boys who went forward against appalling odds at the word of com mand less than 30o returned. It was a repetition of the famous'charge at llalaklava, enacted under circum stances hardly less tragic. Only a few months ago Gen. Starbird wrote a story on that terrible charge for publication, and it is one of the most thrilling and dramatic recitals of bravery and tragedy to be found in all the mass of literature resulting from the Civil War. After the war Gen Starbird studied medicine and 1 practiced his profession in Bostor until 1893 when he became head 1 surgeon of the National Home at Chelsea, Mass., a position which lit retained until forced to give it up by failing health a year or two ago. The Boston papers pay the highest 1 tributes to liis work in his profession and to his standing as a citizen ol Massachusetts for the past 40 years. By the old soldiers who served with him and under him Gtm. Starbird was especially loved, and he was always active in their organizations and in work for their welfare. Massa chusetts joins Maine in mourning Gen Starbird ns one of the noblest sons I contributed by New England to the I great struggle which preserved and perpetuated the Union. 1 It r T 1 r 3 3 1 l i 9 It r 1 o 9 e a n ft Personal notes.

It has been rumored that the Bow ker Fertilizer Co. are to move their cooperage shops from Houlton to Stockwn Springs In the string. Rn «i*J this occur it would be a great loss to Houlton.

The medals will be granted to “survivors and heirs of the Port Hudson forlorn-hope storming party." The volunteers from the Maine troops \y*re in the 12th. 14th, 21st. 22d and 24th regiments. They volunteered under a call of Maj. Oen. Banks, in command of the 19th Army corps before Port Hudson, June 15, 1863. Though they were not called upon to "storm'’ a full thousand men volunteered to "do and die” if need be. The Bridgton News says that the business of shovel handle making goes merrily on in that region and large loads of them are daily passing on their way to the freight yards of the i Bridgton Saco river R. R., where they are shipped to Cumberland Mills, to be finished. As the stock leaves this village, the blocks of wood do not to any great degree, resemble a shovel handle or anything else. They are split cut in the woods from white ash stock, which is generally straight grained and which splits very easily. They are then piled up and hauled to the freight yard, where they ore ship ped. mostly to Cumberland Mills, for finishing. Up to the present writing 1 the Bridgton Saco R. R. Co., has handled about 2,000 dozen and there are many more to come before the season Js over. Rockland Opinion: We know one young man who is likely to get a dose of poison in his morning coffee one of i these days. And we are not going to say that he does not deserve it. The I o^her day he took home a small pack age of Portland cement, wihich he was r planning to use in making some re pairs about the house. When the hired J girl saw it in the kitchen she sniffed at it a bit and inquired as to what the stuff was. He is a man lost to l all moral principle when a practical joke is in sight and told her that it was a new kind of breakfast food that was to be demonstrated at the food fair. The innocent and trusting maiden swallowed the story like spring

water, and next morning put some or the stuff on the stove- to cook. She also swallowed a quantity of Portland ce ment In tasting the decoction to .see If it were done. The deceiver told htjr that it took a good while to cook it, and she had better not try to serve it for breakfast that morning. And when he came home at noon, she was still boiling and tusting that breakinst food and deploring its intractability. Now what do you think will become of a man like that? If that girl is not more or less than human, something will happen before next April Fool day. MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT. Putting the Capitol on Wheels. (Bridgton News.) The removal of the State Capital movement to Portland or Bangor is a big proposition; and while contribu tions of half a million or more from the cities coveting it may be attractive and glittering, it may as well be said that Maine isn’t riady quite yet to put its seat of government upon wheels or "up at auction.” That and some other similar propositions now pending may render a necessity the referendum anil initiative, as to which much hope lias been expressed. A Matter of Malice and Madness. (Waterville Sentinel.) For every effect there is a cause. And when in a session of the Legisla ture at which more important measures are pending than lor many years, the busiest part of the winter finds the minds of members engrossed with a matter so impracticable as the chang ing of the seat of state government one looks for the cause which underlies the vigor of the movement. In brief is it a side-tracking meas ure? A case of giving the children a rattle to play with, in order to keep them front asking for a watch? There are suspicious signs about a measure which has attracted the support of both the sincere and the insincere. Es pecially when that measure is one which no one has asked for, thought of, or talked of for many years. When the people of Maine desire the State Capital moved, they will vote to have it moved and without their votes it never will be, and never ought to be moved. And when they decide to move it, they will decide the location and not set it up at auction. We do not want any Carnegie Capi tal in Maine, where some benefactor buiids half of the capitol building if we build the other half. The whole proposition reeks with absurdity. There is either malicious intent mixed up in it, or else it is a piece of midwinter madness. The men who are pressing the matter should be firmly but kindly told that it will not do. The capital must remain in Augusta. The capitol, if necessary, might be moved across the river, where if this sort of nonsense is kept up, it would seem that it really belongs. A Grotesque and Shameless Scheme. (Rockland Opinion.) We have viewed the proposition to remove the State Capital from Augusta to Portland as more of a .ioke than any thing else, or at most a scheme to keep the Kennebec and Cumberland delega tions in Legislature apart and to pre vent them acting in harmony on mat ters ■where they would naturally act to gether. We had not supposed that anybody in his senses would in good faith propose to saddle on the people of Maine so grotesque a scheme, by the side of which Col. Mulberry Sellers’s projects were patterns of wisdom and practical sense. But at the hearing on Wednesday, the matter seems to have been taken seriously on all hands, and our advices from Augusta are to the effect that the Portland crowd are will ing to trade off all the legislation de manded by the people, and mortgage their immortal souls if need be, in or der to commit the state to their pre posterous proposition. They are willing to sacrifice resubmission, let the Sturgis law remain in force forever, permit the wild lands barons and railroad mag nates fix the system of taxation to suit themselves, kill the initiative and refer endum, and restore the old ring to its old place, if only they can have the State Capital put on wheels and the State 'bankrupted to erect and furnish palaces to adorn Portland and boom Portland real estate values. We can not believe, however, that so shame less a Job can be put through. Legisla tors must realize that the half-million that the Portland ciity government voted to contribute to the building of a new Stale House, the other night,— even if it should be paid, which is ex tremely improbable, since the city has no legal power to tax its people for such a purpose,—it would be a mere bagatelle to the expense involved. It is easy to talk of economy now. But should the State be committed to the job, it would be carried on upon the same lines as the other public build ings frauds with which the country is disgusted. And why should the State sanction such a job? What good will it do to move the seat of the State gov ernment? It would be of no benefit to any citizen of Maine outside of thes« who get the graft. We hope the Legis lature will waste no time on the job. but sit down on it at once. Inward and Outward. The inward effects of humors are worse than the outward.

A Few Members Returned Mon day—Corporations. The State House was not a very busy place Monday, at least not until late in t.ie afternoon, when a few of the mem hers arrived for the week’s delibera tions. A very few remain in the city over Sunday, but even these were not about the building until late in the af ternoon. The week bids fair to be a busy one for all concerned and the work begins today. The Committee on Legal Af fairs will hear the pros and cons of Alilliken’s pure drug bill, beginning at o clock. It is said that the new bill follows similar legislation in other states very closely and is in accord with the national pure food laws. The Judiciary committee has another Shiloh hearing slated, but it is not likely to develop into anything inter esting as that subject has become rather hackneyed to the general pub lic and has been effectually shelved in Androscoggin, the most interested county. The Shiloh matter comes be fore this committee as a legacy from the 72d Legislature. The hearing most likely to attract a large audience and to inspire oratory, is that in regard to direct primaries, or direct nominat ing elections. Woman’s suffrage is also on the calendar in this committee for Tuesday mien a large crowd is ex pected. The Committee on Taxation has the mill fund and school tax to occupy their attention. There is much inter est in this proposition and a lively hearing is likely. The Committee on Inland Fisheries and Game have one Kennebec county matter to consider. “An act to renew and extend the charter of the Cob bosseecontec Fish Cultivating Com pany.” The Committee on Banks and Bank ing will consider an act to incorporate the Fairfield Trust Co., a proposition to which no opposition has as yet ap peared. The Committee on Labor lias on its calendar an act to amend section DO of chapter 93, Revised Statutes, giving employees liens on certain conditions. State Insurance Commissioner Ste phen W. Carr announced Monday the statistics compiled by that department in regard to fire losses of 1906 with in teresting comparisons for 1905. There were 1S47 fires in 1906 against 1927 in 1905. Of these there were 213 total losses in 1906 and 273 in 190". The property endangered'' thereBy in 1906 was worth 943 and in 1905, $3.817, 29. The damage done til 1906 was $2,218,729, in 1907i. $2,425,520, a decrease tor 1908 of $206,791. The causes assigned are numerous, the largest number being “unknown." In 1906 355 fires with a property loss of $1,103,758 were assigned to this cause and in 1905. 401 fires with a property loss of $1,061,893. The next largest number were caused from lightning, 233 in 190f, with a loss of $122,091 and in 1905. 77 with a loss of $22,438. The fires caused from defective chimneys, which achieved such size as to be worthy of mention were 231. with a property loss 1 of $187,701 in 1906 and 2S7 fires with a loss Of $201,219 in 1905. Carelessness caused 34 fires anti a loss of $21,923 in 1906 and 42 fires with a loss of $7,413 in 1905. The increased use of electricity for lighting and power purposes seems to have brought increase from that source, either through poor installa tion or unusual conditions, for the tires doubled in number and the loss trebled in size, the number toeing 21 in 1906 with a loss of $70,788 as against 13 fires with a loss of $19,672 from the same cause in 1905. Both the number of fires atul the property loss from incendiarism shows a very gratifying decrease. Of course many people are ready to yell that “it was set” when they have a fire on their property, but the insur ance commissioners have sifted the matter down to the following figures: I906_12 fires, loss $8,507; 1905 18 fires, loss $15,376. Mice and matches arc. a pretty good combination to start a conflagration, but evidently people have succeeded in keeping them separated to a great ex tent for they are only given credit for starting 8 fires in 1906 and causing a loss of $1,106. as against 4 fires with a total loss of 127 the previous year.

Means is the Home of Uric-O in Augusta. The Rheumatic person is skeptical regarding the claims of almost any remedy advertised as a cure for Rheumatism and one can scarcely blame him for being so. All the plasters and liniments combined never ictually cured a case of Rheumatism, rhey may relieve it in one quarter, but It is sure to break out somewhere else, rhe only true \v;iy to cure Rheuma listn, is to drive it from the system, for is long as the Uric and Rheumatic Acid remains in the blood, one is never entirely free from the trouble. This is where the value of Uric-O as a perma nent cure for Rheumatism comes in. it seeks out tbe Rheumatic poison in he blood, muscles and kidneys, renders it inert and harmless and Irives ii out of I he system. That is why lTric-o is such an admirable and ffective cure for Rheumatism. The chief reason ttiat Uric-O is such i wonderful cure for Rheumatism is, :hat it is designed and prepared to :ure Rheumatism and Rheumatism unly. It does not contain any alcohol >r other so called tonics (o make one 'feel good” for the time being, but is composed of antidotes for the l'heu natic acid poison in the system. That s the secret of its wonderful success. Rheumatism simply cannot exist in a person's system if Uric-O is used. Uric-O is sold by Percy W. Means, ‘The home of Unc-O” in Augusta, at 15c. and $1.00 the bottle, but if you still feel skeptical about its efficacy you ;an test it free of charge by cutting >ut this advertisement and sending same together with youP name and iddress to the Smith Drug Co., Syra cuse, N. Y. and they will send you a sample bottle free. To persons who write and say they have never used LTric-O, want to test it thoroughly, and will agree to take it systematically recording to directions, they fre lucntly send a regular 7,'>c. bottle free. CO. M INSPECTION. Very Creditable Drill al Cily Hall Last Evening. King Co., U. R. K. P,, and Co. A of Gardiner Guests. Evolutions Followed by a Grand Military Ball. For the second time this year C.i|>t. J. 15. Mitchell, l'. H. A., has inspected a company with every member on the drill floor. This occurred last evening, when Co. M, N. G. S. M., of Augusta held its inspection in City hall. For a company to present 100 per cent, of their men for inspection is unusual. It happened before when Cr.pt. Mitchell inspected Co. C of Bath. Tiie .inspecting otticer lias visited It of the 24 companies in the State thus far and he thinks it doubtful if any of the remaining companies will be able to present their entire company for in spection. Cant. Mitchell was greatly pleased with the result of the inspection and whii not making any comparisons with any of the other companies he has in spected. stated that Co. M presented it fine appearance. The movements of the company were frequently applauded and the company well deserved its. for all of the commands were finely exe cuted. King Co., IT. n„ K. or P„ and Co. A. X. G. S. M., of Gardiner were tlu; guests of honor. Capt. McKenna of Co. A had 40 members of his company in attend ance in uniform and Capt. Ware of King Co. had nearly as large a com pany picsent also in uniform. They stood at attention during the inspec tion and time and time again applaud ed the work of the company. Gen. John T. Iliehards, N. II. D. V. K„ Togus, was also present with his staff of eight or nine veterans. They were the most interested of the specta tors and enjoyed the evening greatly. They were in uniform and presented a striking contrast with the younger effi cers. At the completion of the inspection came the ball, over 100 couples forming tor the grand march, led by Lieut. Trombley of Co. M and Miss Jewett of Gardiner. Music for dancing was fur nished by Dennis- Orchestra of eight pieces. Tiie orchestra also furnished music during the inspection.
