DAin HERR-M JWL VOL. XXXVIII AUGUSTA,‘MAINE MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 4. 1907. I NO. 54. CHANGE COMING. Rev. C. W. Bndlee, Water ville, Expresses Desire Tt Leave Pastorate-May Pos sibly Come to Augusta. No Definite Arrangement, But Un* officially Announced. Waterville, Me., March 3.—(Special). —Rev. Charles W. Bradlee, pastor of the Pleasant street Methodist church, expressed to the Quarterly Conference 1 of the local church at Its meeting Sat urday evening, the desire that his rela tions with the church terminate with the close of the present conference year. This announcement did not come as a surprise to the officials of the Pleas ant street church, as It has been known for some time that a change might take place, subject to the will of the presiding bishop of the Maine Metho dist Conference. A Methodist Episcopal minister does not resign, nor does he "accept a call" to a church, technically speaking. Theoretically, according to the Metho dist "Discipline,” a pastor is appointed to a charge, and may be reappointed at the next annual conference. Prac tically, however, agreements are made for exchanges of pastors, and it is un officially stated, on good authority, that such an agreement is in process of making, between the Waterville church and the Augusta church, by which the Rev. H. E. Dunnack of Au gusta will become the pastor of the Waterville church and the Rev. Mr. Bradlee will go to Augusta, where he has already many friends and a wide acquaintance. There is one difficulty in the way of the carrying through of such a plan. The coming year is the centennial of the Augusta church, and it is the wish of Mr. Dunnack's parishioners that be remain the pastor of the church until after the anniversary is celebrated. In that event, Mr. Bradlee would remain in Waterville another year, and the change would be made in 1908. At present the situation is tentative. Should Mr. Bradlee insist on severing his connection with the Waterville church this year, many of the mem bers of the Waterville church would like to see tile Rev. Robert A. Colpitts of North Vassalboro as pastor of the local church. Mr. Colpitts has been heard but twice in Waterville, once when in* supplied the pulpit during Mr. Brad lee's absence, and the other on the occasion of Men's Sunday- at one of the local churches recently, when his eloquent sermon caused much favorable comment. The Rev. Robert Sutcliffe of Rock land is another popular Maine clergy man who has been mentioned for the vacancy, should it occur. The session of the Quarterly Con ference was held in the Kpworth League room of the Pleasant street church, with Rev. G. D. Holmes, pre siding elder, in the chair and E. R. Drummond acting as secretary. There was a good attendance of the members and the routine business was dispatched with promptness. Reports from pastor, superintendent of Sunday school, president of Epworth Leagu*', superintendent of Junior League, president of Ladies’ Aid (So ciety, class leaders, and treasurer of trustees, indicated the different de partments of the church to be in pros perous condition. Tlie officials and committees were elected for the new conference year, as follows: Trustees—E. R. Drummond. R. Wes ley Dunn, H. L. Emery, F. A. Wing. H. T. Winters, W. II. Bowden. Charles A.

Believes That Suits Brought Are Continuation of Persecutions Be gun Some Time Ago. COUNSEL ISSUES A STATEMENT. Says Amount of His Client’s Prop erty Is Grossly Multiplied—Will Not Discuss Legal Aspect. Concord. N. IT., March 3.—General Frank f-'. Streeter, the legal adviser of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, issued a lens statement this evening in tiie na ture of a reply to various allegations in the till of equity which has been brought against trustees and directors of the Christian Science church, by rel atives of Mrs. Eddy, with the view of obtaining an accounting' of funds. The statement is as follows: “Early Saturday morning T sent to Mrs. Eudv a copy of the bill in equity as published hut not yet served upon any of the defendants so far as I am informed. I have since had a long per sona i conference with her at which this proceeding and matters connected therewith werc*'fully discussed. "in common with her many friends sh" believes that the initiative in these proceedings was not taken by her son or other relatives, but by others who in a markedly unusual manner and by unique methods are undertaking under the guise of court proceedings to con tinue the persecution lxgun some time ago. “From my conference with her at this time, and tin other recent occasions. T am able to speak definitely and posi tively. Her clearness of mind and res olution ot purpose lias been in no re spect impaired by her advanced years. Her capacity to think clearly, and to deal accurately' and justly with im portant business affairs, has never been more perfectly demonstrated than in her conferences and acts in the last tv. i weeks itnd in numerous business letters in her own handwriting, which I have received Irom Iter during that time. “The amount of Mrs. Eddy's property has been grossly multiplied by rumor and unfounded report. She is not pos sessed of any large wealth as the term is used. Mrs. Eddy receives no income front the church, nor from the publica tion society connected with the church. Her sole income for many years has been from the copyright of her own books, and the amount from this source lias been grossly overesti mated. “Mrs. Eddy’s business affairs have been managed by herself with the aid of Mr. Fo e. her devoted and loyal ser vant, and under the oversight of a per sonal audit of another gentleman, whose name has net been mentioned, but who stands for all that is honor able and of good repute in linancial circles in Concord. Accurate accounts of all her property and investments as well as her annual income and expendi tures have been carefully kept and fre quently audited. The last audit was in October. 190G. “None of the defendants named ex cept Mr. Frye, have any connection with the management of her property or investments or have any knowledge whatever in reference thereto, nor have any of the said defendants ever re ceived any property of Mrs. Eddy's which they hold in trust or otherwise, except in one instance, for the benefit of a relation. “Inquiry has been made whether the various defendants would accept ser vice of the proceedings. I cannot say as to that. With my partner. Mr. Alien Hollis, I am counsel for Mrs. Eddy alone. While the defendants would un doubtedly be guided largely by Mrs. Eddy’s wishes with respect to these proceedings, I cannot as her legal rep resentative undertake to speak to tlmm. “With reference to the report that within a few days Mrs. Eddy lias placed !:i the bands of trustees a large amount of money to be held and used lor the benefit of her son and her grandchildren. I have nothing to say. “Whatever Mrs. Eddy may or may not have done toward providing for ln r family is a matter which ought not, for the present at least, to be discussed by me. “It is obvious that I ought not to talk about the legal aspect of the case, nor what will be the course of the proceed ings so far as Mrs. Eddy is concerned. The- proceedings are unusual. So far ns this case can be considered a legitimate proceeding in equity, it seems to be an attempt to have the personal rights and privileges of a c-itizen adjusted in a way unprecedented in New Hampshire so far as T am aware, and if it shall appear that these proceedings have been instituted for the purposes other than the ascertainment and protection of the plaintiff's legal affairs, the meth od of dealing with such a case will be carefully considered by Mrs. Eddy's ci uie el before making any public statement" Messrs. Kelly and Martin, counsel for the plaintiffs in the bill of equity, have nn appointment with Mr. Streeter for tomorrow aft •rnooti. If at that time Mr. Streeter declines to accept service in behalf of the defendants, the process of serving tie- defendants individually will be instituted. William E. (’handler, the senior counsel for the plaintiffs, will arrive here from Washington Tuesday and will at once join with the others in the conduct of the case. II was learned tonight that about 4 o’clock last Friday afternoon, the day on which the bill in equity was liied, a messenger from George W. Glover of li i.T.cood, tlie son of Mrs. Eddy, de livered to her a letter in which Mr. Glover stated his purpose of beginning the suit ai 4.no o’clock that afternoon. Kev. Irving C. Tomlinson, one of the defendants named in the suit, left Con cord. his mission being, it is under stock to go to Mr. Glover. Mr. Tomlin son had in bis possession for delivery to Mr. Glover a deed of trust for a eer tain sum of money variously estimated at from $100,000 to $250,000. Thie money, it is declared, was to be delivered to Mr. Glover on three conditions as follows: First, that neither he nor his house hold should make any further demands upon Mrs. Eddy: second, that they should offer no objection to the probat ing of any will that might be offered after her death; third, that they should not seek by any legal process to set aside any gift, deeds or conveyances that Mrs. Eddy might make during her lifetime. Meanwhile, John W. Kelley of Ports mouth. one of the attorneys interested in the bringing of the proceedings, had filed th° mu itl equity with the clerk of the superior court, and notified General Frank S. Streeter, counsel for Mrs. Eddy, of the tact. Mr. Streeter had a long conference with counsel for plain tiff and made known to them, it is said, tlie provisions of the deed of trust which was to be given to Mr. Glover. This conference came to an end when Mr. Streeter was informed that the fact that tlie bill had been filed had been given to the press by Former L'nited States Senator William E. Chand.er, senior counsel for the plain tiffs:. Mr. Streeter then recalled Mr. Tomlinson from his mission. WORK IS ASSURED. Conditions Occasioned By Retirement of Fredericton Boom Co. Settled.

Democrats by Endless Talk and Fillibustering Plan to Defeat The Ship Subsidy Bill. AN ALL DAY SUNDAY SESSION. Numerous Conference Reports Are Made—Cleaning Up For Final Adjournment This Noon. Washington, March 3.—Beginning at It o'clock today by far the largest part of the Senate was devoted to a filibuster by the Democratic senators against a ship subsidy bill as it passed the House and when the Senate adjourned a few minutes before midnight the hill was still pending, but it was facing the absolute certainty of failure with the close of Congress at noon tomorrow. Speeches intended for no other pur pose than to kill time were made by Senators Carmack. Dubois. Overman, Xewlands and others who frankly con fessed their intention of defeating con sideration of the objectionable measure. When the recess was taken at 11.40, the friends of the bill had given up all hope of securing any shipping legislation during the present session. The sundry civil appropriation bill, the last of the general appropriation bills, was agreed upon at 11.30 tonight after a conference extending over two days. Never before has the Senate appear ed to relish such an attempt to kill legislation by hlbustering methods. Mr. Carmack, as the director of the minor ity movement against the bill, kept the members convulsed with his sallies and at no time di4 he try to hide the fact that his effort was a filbuster pure and simple, lie scorned subterfuge and at tile oh set of his rem irks came into the open by addressing himself principally to the term "Filbusterers” which\t»al linger on yesterday applied to the I) un oeratie senators who have undertaken to defeat the measure. After reading Webster's definition of "iMlbustd'er" with its varying uses and synonyms. Mr. Carmack said that the remark of Gallinger had branded him as a maurauder, a pillager, a bucca neer, a sea robber, a freebooter anil a pirate upon the high seas, in fact he said. "I have been accused of almost everything except appendicitis. Ho branded, i am to retire from this body anil lie sent to mv home, for I cannot de fend myself by attacking the character of the credibility of the senator from New Hampshire. 1 cannot discredit him trutinilly, and therefore. 1 cannot discredit him at all.” When he had spoken for about -13 minutes with th' obeious purpose of killing time. Car mack paused, looked at his watch, anil remarked: ‘‘Well. 1 sec I must 1 e hurrying along." At this the senators on the floor shouted their amusement. To give Carmack a rest. Dubois ask ed to be permitted to read from a very interesting document on the subject of ship subsidy, and Spooner protested that as Carmack was in so great a hurry to conclude it would not be fair to interrupt him. The Tennessee sena tor. however, said he was sure that any contribution from .Dubois would be valuable and he should be glad to per mit it to be read and incorporated in the body of his remarks. Dubois tii a read at length and when he had con cluded a cry technical paragraph to which few senates paid any attention. Carmack asked that the last para graph be repeated, as he regarded i! of great importance. Laughter followed and as Dubois sat down. Gallinger interrupted to reply, he said, to what he thought had been an unwarranted attack upon him. At this juncture a colloquy oc curred between Gallinger and Carmack over the definition of the word filibus ter, as given by different dictionaries and the latter charged that Gallinger had simply been trying to filibuster ae-l cording to his own definition of the word. Charging that the pending measure was for the purpose of “looting the treasury,” Carmack referred to the bill i as voting a subvention, and McLaurin j asked the difference between “Subsidy” j and "Subvention." Carmack answered: “Subsidy by any other name smells i as bad.” Carter added to the spirit of levity by interrupting the reading of letters from shipbuilders by Overman, who was giving Carmack a respite. “I want to know.” said Carter, “what, j if any. dictionary is use in Tennessee, i and what, if any, standard of spelling exists, and if it is uiformly applied.” This gave Carmack an opening which ho took advantage of to taunt Carter and Gallinger with being parties to a filibuster. “Observing that my question embar rasses the senator,” interjected Carter, "inasmuch as he probably is not willing to admit that the dictionary is un known in that state, I will withdraw the question.” "if the senator wants a direct an swer,” said Carmack, "Tennessee stands by the Constitution and Web ster's Dictionary.” Just as Tillman had produced a burst of laughter, during the discussion of the amount of steel in a ship, by ask ing how much “steel” there was in ship subsidy, Frye. Me., took occasion to re buke the whole proceeding as unseem ly and undignified. For the Senate to hold a session on the Sabbath day. he remarked, for the purpose of frivilous debate for the amusement of the gal leries. was about the most unseemly proceeding he had over witnessed. While he spoke, Frye turned so as to face Carmack, who was seated. He at once arose and replied: “If the senator refers to me. I will say that 1 ant rot responsible to him for my conduct, and I shall conduct my self according to my own notions of propriety, if the senator from Maine does not like my manner he has my permission to leave the chamber, and go where he can attend church, if he would prefer.” I "l would much rather be in church," retorted Frye. “If the senator wishes to take a re cess until tomorrow morning I shall not interfere with it." suggested Carmack. “Tile senator knows I cannot,” was the reply. “Well,” continued Carmack, “the sen ator is evidently much more concerned about the defeat of this bill than any thing else.” Carmack then declined to yield fur ther to Frye, although the latter at tempted to interrupt. Shortly after this the incident was closed by the restoration of amity. Carmack expressed regret that the in cident had occurred. He had spoken, he said, on the impulse of the moment, and withdrew what had been said. Frye, too, expressed the same senti ments. and explained that he had not meant to address the senator from Ten nessee personally in his criticism. At r,.:!0 o'clock the Senate took a re cess until S.30 o'clock. The filibuster against the sli p subsidy bill was continued ulion the Senate re sumed its session at fi.30 o'clock tonight. Dulxiis and Carmack made an appeal to Oallingi-r to withdraw tlif bill, but he did not comply with the request. Tho debate was interrupted bv the passage' ft a resolution for the printing of a doc ument on horses. The horse resolution related to th printing of n new riO.OOO edition of the! book on diseases of the horse. This has already passed the House and is one of the most popular of government publici tions. SATURDAY IN SENATE. Ship Subsidy Bill Doomed—Senator Smoot to Be Reimbursed. Washington.

One Dead and a Dozen Entombed Near Wllkesbarre. Scranton. Pa., March 3.—It now ap pears that all the men were taken out of the Holden mine at Taylor near here Saturday, and that the only victims of the explosion are the eight seriously burned, four of whom have died. No one is reported missing and no bodies have been found. The explosion occurred shortly after J o’clock. It shook the surface. The men at work in the mine were Hung about in the fiery whirlwind, which was fol lowed by stifling darkness. News of the disaster caused conster nation among the relations of the en tombed miners, who ran in fear-strick en crowds to the mouth of the doomed shaft. A rescuing party was quickly formed and in a short time several blackened and badly scorched men were brought to the surface and hur ried to the Taylor hospital, where their condition was pronounced serious. Meanwhile the work of rescuing those who were still in the fiery depths was continued with increasing energy. A re port that the mine had caught fire in tensified the anxiety and terror of the situation. The fight to reach the work men who were in distant parts of the suffocating mine was waged with great heroism, owing to the deadly after damp and the general wreckage and havoc caused by the explosion. There was a long and painful period of suspense among the agonized friends of the entombed miners while the res cuers wore battling against fearful odds to save the imperilled miners. Six -men were next brought to the surface. They had been frightfully burned and presented a pitiable specta cle. Their clothing had been blown off by the force of the explosion, and they were running abojU naked and crazed with terror when the rescuing party discovered them. Danny Evans, a door boy, was blown through a strong wooden partition as if he had been fired from a cannon. He was rescued and taken to the hospital. ONE DEAD—ONE INJURED.

I. Smithfiekl, R. I.. March 3.—Twenty men and five women were overcome by coal gas in a boardinghouse connected with the Beruon Cotton Mills in the vil lage of Reorgiaville today and while nearly all were eventually resuscitated, it is feared that in two cases fatal re sults may follow. The most critical case is that of John Dolan, who was employed in Georgia \ille by the Providence Ice Co. He ral lied slightly during the day, but tonight became again unconscious. Otis Pall, the proprietor of the board inghouse, and his wife were also ren dered unconscious by the fumes, and owing to the fact that Mr. Patt is near ly TS years of age, it is feared that tin effects of the gas may be. fatal in his case. Mrs. Patt recovered her usual condition under treatment. The ether persons who were opera tives employed in the mills, are be lieved to hav escaped any permanent ill effects from the night's experience. It is said that a new man was hired yesterday to take charge of the furnace and that last night a large quantity of new coal was put on the lire and ail draughts closed, thus allowing no prop er means of escape for the gas, which soon filled every room in the house. The situation was iirst discovered by Michael Beenville, one of the lodgers, win, upon awakening this morning, thought, it strange that no one was stir ring about tie* house, and upon investi gating found that all the other occu pants were unconscious, while the fumes of coal gas were so strong that the eh use of their condition was easily evident. Beenville is a rugged, muscu lar men and the gas had not affected him as it did the others. Throwing open all the windows, he quickly summoned the mill superin tendent. A. El. Bos worth, and Dr. Irving Cook and the work of restoring the victims to consciousness was soon in progress. Nearly till of them reponded readily to the action of restoratives and were soon pronounced out of immediate danger. Dolan's condition, however, was so critical that Rev. Father Charles Little was summoned and administered the last sacraments of the church to the sufferer, who it was believed could live but a short time. TWO STEAMERS WRECKED. The Vaderland on Goodwin’s Sands and Dakota In Far East. London. March 3.—The Red Star Line steamer Vaderland, (’apt. T-’hoff, which sailed from Antwerp Saturday for New York, is ashore on Goodwin Sands. A tug tins been sent from Dover to the assistance of the Vaderland. which is ashore i n Last Goodwin sands. The po sition of the steamer is not believed to he dangcrc-us. The fog is so dense that it is impossible to see the distance of a ship’s length.

The Vaderland suf fered damage to her plates below the wa ter line. The admiralty court on Fi b. 19 rendered judgment against the Red Star Line, holding that the Vaderland was to blame for tin collision. The Vaderland is* a twin screw steamer of 12,017 tons; length, 5S0 feet; breadth, tip feet. Site carries ordinarily about 20 list class, 150 second class, and 1509 steerage passengers.

How many women do yon know who are perfectiy well and strong? The cause may be easily traced to some feminine derangement which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, dragging sensations, flatulency, nervousness, and sleeplessness. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and un less heeded, a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The best remedy for all these symptoms is lucse oympioms is Lydia E.

Joseph Tinker, shortstop for the Chi cago National League Baseball Club, underwent an operation for appendicitis last wk. The operation was entirely successful, but Tinker will not be able to play ball before May 1. Michael Kittredge, the new manag er of the Montreal team, who is win tering in New York, says that the base ball of today is not the game of old. “We miss the great hitters of the past like Connor. Krouthers. Ewing, Mike Kelly. On-, Delehanty and Hardte Rich ardson," said the veteran catcher. We do not see so many of the long drives nowadays that were frequently made by these old stars. Then, again, the catchers of today are not like Bennett. Bwir.g, Tom Daly. Ganzel, Buckley. Mike Kelley. Clements and Morgan Murphy. Tom Daly, by the way. was one of the best catchers I ever saw. while Arnos Rusia was the greatest pitcher that ever stood In a box.” BASKETBALL. Drown 20, Yale 19. Georgebwr la. Washington 1:!.

A special dispatch from Fayetteville, IN. says that early Sat ur lay night Chief of Police A. Jack Noon has matched Burns and Sehretdc. it is too laughable. When I get through with Tommy no duo will want him for $5000. I feel sor ry for Schreek. to think that he was forced to take the worst of the signing, but there is no c-hunce of Tommy beat ing me. and if Noonan wants to match tile winner with Schreek. I will sign with him and will demand no lion's share of the purse. •Tommy is not the fighter he poses] to be. and you can wager every dollar you ever owned that I will store hirn away in great haste when we meet again. If Burns and Schreek were to meet today I would bet my roll that Tommy would not last 15 rounds.” Jack declares that while East should he be offered a match with Palmer or some other good man at a fair purse he v.iil accept, but he will not remain there Ion. GETTING INTO SHAPE. Joe Thomas Training Hard for Bout With Honey Mellody. Philadelphia, Pa., March 3.—Joe Thomas, who will fight Honey Mellody for the welterweight title here next Wednesday night at the National Ath letic Club, is rapidly getting into shape at the Eagles A. C. The young Cali fornian is still a trifle overweight, but he says lie will have no trouble what ever to make the required weight of 145 pounds. Thomas boxes every day with his sparring partners for the purpose of developing speed, anl his foot-work is all that could be desired.

C., the result being a draw. The men are welterweights, and put up a rather tame bout, although there were flashes of good work by each naan. It was thought that Martin had im proved since his last appearance here, hut his long lights in New England ap parently have not made him either faster or more clover. He left many openings, which Connolly should have made good use of, but it was only oc casionally that Bartley sent his left straight and hard against Terry’s face. An ostrich yields about three pounds of feathers yearly. BOXING NOTES. Willie Lewis and Paul Moore will meet at one of the New York “tags Thursday night.

Boston, March 3.—By a wonderful re covery of Its team work in the middle! of the first half the University of Maine five turned what seemed at first inevi table defeat into a victory in a basket ball game last evening against Technol ogy in the Tech gym. The Tech boys started off with series of swift team combinations and piled up the score to such an extent that the Maine follow ers almost gave up hope. However, working well together, the team from Orono came out of its daze and Tech's team work disintegrated. From then on it was nip and tuck, with the teams on ly a few points apart until the last few seconds of the last half when Maine forged ahead. After five minutes of play in the first half the score stood 16 to 1 in favor of the institute, with every indication that the game would continue in this man ner. Then the Maine boys pulled them selves together and began to mix it up hard, playing a close game. Point by point they began to pull up on their opponents, until the end of the half th*> score stood 24 to 15 in favor of Tech. When the teams returned to the floor ftt the beginning of the second half it was evident that the university buys were going to j»ut up a strenuous fight. F r several minutes there was n root intr. so well did both teams cover, and little hy little the Orono team pulled down Tech's lead. The Tech boys in a short burst of speed scored three bas kets in succession, making the score SO to 29 in favor of Tech. The floor then became the scene of the swiftest kind of basketball. In one of the rushes Capt. Kinnear. running along the floor, caught Morton of Maine accidentally under the Jaw, and laid (dm out cold. It KMik several minutes to bring him into a condition to con tinue. For Maine. Scales. Ihe right forward, played a fast game, scoring six baskets from the fl.srr and two from the foul line.

"You'll git it.” answered Evans sen tenticusly. and before the hunt was ended they had fought wild hogs, killed large and small game, and battled with rattlesnakes. Each member of the party had nar row escapes from reptile fangs. Mr. Martin was struck several times on his knee boots by rattlers and Dr. Whip ple #iad one particular narrow escape from being bitten in the face. Mr. Kellogg and Dr. Whipple having trailed a deer until they were tired, selected a spot far a rest on a hillside that seemed snakeless, and after hat ting for a time both took a nap. Dr. Kellogg was awakened by a rat tling sound, and as he opened his eyes he saw a monstrous rattler. coiled, ready to spring at his face. He whirled with all his power and rolled in an opposite direction and down the hill. It was a timely movement, for a moment later, he believes, he would have been bitten. The snake was quickly killed. There were other terrors than snakes, aiai among them were herds of jave lins, or wild hogs. It was these ani mal.sfthat Lady Constance MacKenzie journVyed from Scotland to Texas to hunt four years ago. She was the guest of Mrs. King, the Texas cattle queen. To hunt wild hogs is a murk of courage on the nart of any Nimrod, and the one who goes into it knowing ly is usually well posted on what he is facing. The hunt of President Roose velt on the Pryor ranch is regarded as one of the gamest of his exploits. The firFt member of the party to en counter javelins was Mr. Kellogg. He did not know there was a pack In the bush when he got a shot at rather long range at scouting boar. His shot was lucky, as tile boar fell dead. A mo ment later the whole pack rushed from cover, snorting and circling from sight of the foe. Kellogg gave the danger signal, and Dr. Whipple joined him. The hogs sighted the two hunters and charged. There was no time to waste. Fortunately, two scrub oaks were near at hand, and in the nick of time the hunters shinned up. one in either tree. The guns had been felt on the ground. There was not much to do except to wait and hone. The hunters were high enough to prevent the hogs tusk ing them. After three hours of sus pense the hogs seemed to grow weary of the watch and slowly departed. A half-hour later the two hunters recov ered their guns and retreated to camp. The toughness of the hide of a na tive pig was shown by a shot Martin made with his .303 Savage rifle at ninety yards. It was a lilg l»ar. Mr. Evans was in the vicinity at the time. A broadside of the boar was present ed and Martin’s bullet struck it just back of the middle of the body, two inches from the hip. There was no penetration and the bullet mush roomed and fell to the ground. The blow was sufficient, however, to render the hindquarters of the boar useless, and it dragged its legs as It moved forward. Martin believed the shot would prove effectual and did not fife again, but advanced on the hog. The animal waited until he was near, and then charged again, dragging its hind feet. The movement was so quick that Martin did not have to time to fire, but he dodged behind a tree and drew his bowie knife. The hog cir cled after him and would have ripped him with its tusks but for one lucky stroke, which sent the knife Into It* jugular. Martin brought the tusks of this boar home. They measured two and three fourths inches each from tip to the socket. Three deer, five wild hogs, and three hundred quail were bagged, not to mention rattlesnakes. After the sec ond day out the party refused to recog nize rattlers as worthy of killing pro vided they were not of sixteen buttons and upward. They brought home with them a copious supply of buttons, hides of itpe largest boars, boar tusks, ant lers. and snake iielts.—New York Her ald. The Most Intelligent of Flowers. The typical flower of our Orchids represents pretty closely the fantastic and yawning mouth of a Chinese dragon. The lower lip, which is very long and which hangs in the form of a jagged or dentate apron, serves as a landing-place for the insect. The up per lip rounds into a sort of hood, which shelters the essential organs; while, at the back of the flower, beside the ledunele, tiiere falls a kind of spur or 1' ng. pointed horn, which contains the i.ectar. in most flowers the stigma, or fi-tnale organ, is a more or less viscid little tuft which, at the end of a frail stalk, patiently awaits the coming of the pollen. In the Orchid, this traditional installation has become Irrecognizable. At the back of the mouth, in the place occupied in the throat by the uvuia. are two closely welded stigmas, above which rises a third stigma modified into an extra ordinary organ. At its top, it carries a sort of little pouch, or, more correct ly, a sort of stoup, which is called the rostellum. This stoup is full of a viscid fluid in which soak two tiny balls, whence issue two short stalks lad< n ai their upper extremity with a packet of grains of pollen carefully tied un. lA:t us now see what happens when an insect enters the flower. She lands on the lower lip, outspread to receive her, and. attracted by the scent of the nectar, seeks to reach the horn that contains it, right at thg back. But the passage is purposely very narrow; and the insect's head, as she ad vances. necessarily strikes the stoup. The latt* r, mindful of the least shock, is at once ruptured along a convenient line and lays bar* the two little balls steeped in the viscid fluid. These, coming into immediate contact with the visitor’s skull, fasten it to and be come firmly stuck to it. so tliai. when the insect haves the flower, she car ries them away an*!, with them, tin two stalks which rise from them and which end in the packets of tied-up pollen. We therefore have the insect capped with two straight. bottle shapul horns. The unconscious arti san of a difficult work now visits a neighboring flower. If her horns re mained stiff, they would simply strike with tln-ir pollen masses the other pol len masses soaking in the vigilant stoup and no event would spring from the pollen mingling with pollen. But lo re the genius, the experience and the foresight of the Orchid become appar ent. The Orchid has minutely cal culated the time needed for the insect to suck the nectar and repair to the next flower and has ascertained that this requires, on an average, thirty seconds. We have seen that the packets of pollen are carried on two short stalks inserted into the viscid balls. Now at the point of insertion there is, under either stalk, a small membraneous disk, whose only func tion is, at the end of thirty seconds, to contract and throw forward the stalks, so that they bend and describe an arch of ninety degrees. This is the result of anew calucation. not of time on this occasion, but ot space. The two horns; of pollen that cap the nuptial messen ger are now horizontal and point In front of her head, so that, when she enters the next flower, they will just strike the two welded stigmas over which hangs the stoup.—Harper's. Faults of Modern Stables. Some of tlie most glaring faults of modern stables are herein described, together with a tew hints regarding their correction. l.a. k of proper ventilation is tile first in the category, and where many horses are kept this violation of hy gienic laws is the most noticeable. Smarting eyes and various other dis agreeable experiences soon drive* away visitors from most livery stables, as well as many private ones. The horses' eye* is a very delicate organ. How, then, can ie he expected that his vision will remain unimpaired if he be compelled to remain many hours out of the twenty-four in an atmosphere strongly impiegnated with the fumes of ammonia and other foul and dis agreeable odors? Fresh air. and plenty of it. is essential to the health ami welfare of the horse. Small windows_should be replaced by large oms. and these should be kept open <<r partially so. niglit and day, at all seasons, at least sufficiently to insure good ventilation. Doors should lie sufficiently wide and high to enable large horses to enter without danger of injuring the hip boni s or the poll. “Down at the hip," or Hie bone of on chip fractured, is a n»t uncommon consequence of too narrow doors, while many accidents occur from doors that are too low. Whenever practicable, partitions be tween stalls should Ik- removed, thus converting them into box-stalls. Many a good horse has been seriously or even fatally injured by being “cast in teh stall.” For this reason, mangers should be raised to such a bight that the horse cannot lie “cast under the manger”; or better still, the manger should be on the floor. The horse, naturally, gathers his food from the ground. In a box-stall natural in clinations can be partially imitated to advantage, whereas the old-fashioned, narrow stall precludes suclj a sensible arrangement. 1 lay-lofts over the stalls arc in every way objectionable. The effluvia of the stable contaminates the hay; more or less dust sifts through the cracks and knot-holes and through the opening above the hayrack, and ventilation is also much impaired. Foreleg over the halter, head under the manger, standing with forefeet in the manger, lying in the gangway with head outstretched and rigid front the halter strap, sleeping standing through fear of lying down, these are some of the evils that are obviated by the adoption of hte box stall.

True, this has its drawbacks regarding drainage, b it tills is only another argument in favor of the box stall. Crows Enemies of Quail. The greatest enemy to quail are crow*, tile shrewdest birds known. Crows are ravenous egg eaters and destroy the quail nests. Th* se black-winged demon* are multiplying more rapidly than any other bird. Ail sportsmen should make w; r upon thes- vicious egg eaters. Thev can be poisoned with corn soaked In a solution of strychnine. They will, how ever, s-ion become suspicious of the grains of corn discolored by the strych nine. and it will th-n be necessary to op- n a small flap in the soft part of each grain and drop enough strychnine ill the hole to kill a -row; then close the flap and press it down so as to make it appear as nearly as possible like tho original grain. Tills c rn should tie drip ped in places where the crows congregate and out of reach of other birds. It takes a swift-flying hawk to catch a full-grown Virginia quail, but when the birds are weakened by continuous snow storms the hawks- simply feast upon them. By offering cents each lor hawk heads the Kapidan game preserve has re duced this evil by about seventy s.-aips. li wks can be trapp' d by putting a_ chicken under a wire netting where it can be easily seen by the hawks and placing steel traps on the ground around tli wire car The hawk becomes so in t--tit upon c-at< bins the clti- ken that he is sure to step upon one of the traps.

Ingalls, former president of the Big Four, says there are too many mil lionaires in this country. Mr. Ingalls, who Is a native of Maine by the way, bravely succeeds, however, in cheeking his impulse to decrease the number by unloading any of his vast millions. Progression and up-to-date Portland Is to replace the antiquated and de lapitated settees in its city hall with chairs such as every other city ball in the State has had for years. The dis carded settees, it is understood, will be turned in toward the furnishings of the new State House, as a part of Portland *500,000—or is it *1.500.000? contribution. The death of three members of the New York legislature during the present session is seized upon by the Portland Argus as an "argument" for changing the capital from Augusta to Portland. It is a little difficult for the average mortal to see the connection, but all will admit that the argument is as good as any of those that the Port land boomM^ha^*presented^^ Our good friend of the Kennebec Journal will have to take off his coat and begin shoring up the State House In earnest. The old structure Is rock ing on its foundation.—Portland Advertiser. One the contrary. Instead of rocking. It is on a rock foundation and cannot be shaken. As a Somerset county Bpeaker said at the hearing before the committee. “All the influence and all the power of Portland w ill not avail to secure the Capital of Maine. You may come here with ten times $500,000. you may strew the roads from here to Portland with golden dollars, you may bring to bear all the eloquence and all the influence of your beautiful city, but you can never move more than the shutter on a skylight of the Capitol." Just as though Secretary Taft did not have enough trouble in keeping the lid down In the Philippines, exerting a paternalistic sway over Cuba, and struggling with the Panama Canal problem. Governor Magoon has un loaded on the rotund Secretary of War the question of whether the Cuban people shall or shall not be permitted to continue their pursuit of pleasure at the cockpit. When General Leonard Wood was military governor of Cuba, he issued an order prohibiting cock fighting in tlie island. This order has been observed in the breach, but as law is law. and any violation thereof nearly brings the goodly Governor Magoon to tears, he wants a ruling in the matter. As Secretary Taft's shoulders are broad, the problem has been unloaded on him. The Portland papers are working desperately to get people to attend a meeting to be held at their city hall this forenoon at which an attempt will be made to galvanize the corpse of the Capital removal movement into a semblence of lift again. They are us ing big headlines, job-type notices and appealing editorials, and doubtless in this morning’s issues they will offer the inducement of a chromo or stick of candy to all who will lend the occasion their presence. Out of the 60,000 or more people in Portland there are doubtless a thousand to some degree interested in the attempt to have the people of Maine spend millions in building their city a State House, and in view of all the efforts being made it seems as though half of these ought to be on hand. Possibly the realiza tion that the hat will be passed around for funds to be used by the Portland lobby at Augusta will not tend to make the crowd too large for the hall to ac commodate. It is difficult for us in this country to understand the perpetual row which is waged in the British Parliament over the bill legalizing the marriage of a man with the sister of his deceased wife. Such a measure has for the 18th lime passed the House of Commons. The vote was 263 to 34 this time, but it is expected that it will meet its usual fate in the House of Lords in spite of the fact that the King gives it his hearty support. Its defeat in the House is said to be due to the influence of the bishops, by whom it is opposed on theo logical grounds which are too obscure to be generally understood. It is a long time since this particular marriage was legalized in the United States, and ex perience has not justified the apprehen sions with which its English opponents profess to regard it. They say that if a mau were made free to marry the sis ler of his deceased wife a series of the most dreadful things would happen. The unmarried sister-in-law with a tendency toward matrimony would all the time be scheming to supplant the wife in the husband's affections. Dis cord would prevail; happy homes would be desolated; immorality would be in creased, and in cases where a scheming and perfidious sister-in-law had suc ceeded in winning the man away from his vows, murder might even be re oorted to in order to create the vacancy desired. This all seems very nonsensi cal. but it has awaited in England to defeat repeatedly a measure which has for generations been a subject of con sideration by Parliament. There have been court decisions on the subject but never until this winter has there been by act of Congress a rule for distinguishing the real from the unreal American citizen. All born in the United States or within its jurisdiction are American citizens, whether they wish to be or not, but they have the privilege of renouncing citizenship, if they wish. Foreigners who become naturalized and remain here in good taith are also citizens. It is a matter of much regret that many foreigners have sought citizenship, not to live under the flag, but to go to their original homes and exact protection there which they could not otherwise enjoy. The reports to the state de partment are full of complaints con cerning those who have resided here but a few years and have betaken themselves to countries of their origin and have assumed rights and obliga tions which were never originally con templated. There seems to be an idea in Europe that an American citizen can always have the army and navy at his back, no matter whnt he wishes to do. Dr. Andrew D. White, who is one of the most distinguished of Ameri cans. has told of some unusual cases which came before him when an ambassador in Europe, and it is doubt less due to this efforts that this law has been passed. It provides for real citizenship, and the naturalized citizen who goes home for five years loses all his claim. Tie may r.ot say that he is a citizen of the United States if he has spent five jears abroad. Ameri can citizenship Is only granted to foreign applicants on the ground that tile incumbent will work for the Com monwealth. Hereafter those who wish to make it a lever for personal ad vantages and live abroad will be un deceived. •'Fiddling Bob" Taylor, the new Sen ator from Tennessee, can dance a jig. play the fiddle, argue a lawsuit, debate political questions, lead a prayer meet ing, tell funny stories, write interest ing poetry and has many other accom plishments.

Elections today In most of the towns and half of the .cities. Nobody remembers so much snow in Maine in March as there is now on the ground. The warrant for the Ear Harbor town meeting contains 103 articles. The next Rhodes scholar from Maine will be from Bates, not from U. of M. as several papers have stated. This will be the 10th week of the 73d Legislature and it promises to be crowded w ith interesting features. A State baseball league seems a set tled thing, though the enthusiasm with which it is received can hardly be des cribed as of the feverish variety. It is just 11 years since the biggest freshet in the known history of the Maine rivers. It was in the first few days of March. 1896. that the great torrent rolled down the river valleys, following a heavy rainstorm, taking along bridges, mills, houses and logs and doing millions of dollars of dam age. Lives were lost on each of the three big rivers, railroad travel was cut off for days and people traveled in boats through the business streets of Bangor. Augusta. Hallowed, Gardiner. Lewiston and Bath. There has been no serious freshet since, but present conditions must cause some anxiety. Copious warm rains on the vast snow piles might easily put the memorable disaster of 11 years ago in the shade. Among hunters and sportsmen gen erally ttierf; are grave fears that the severe winter is going to be very hard on the deer in Maine and that many of the animals will not survive the severe cold and deep snow. In the cities the winter has been severe enough and even the oldest residents can remem ber but few winters when there has been so much severely cold weather and so much snow. Up in the big woods it has of course been worse and the creatures that make the woods their home and depend for their food on vegetation which they cannot get owing to the deep snow have had a hard time of it. There is never a win ter goes by but a considerable numlier of deer succumb to the cold and lack of food. How many really perish in this way can never be told but the carcasses of many are found in the woods and floating down the streams in the spring. They are mainly young deer nr old animals which have lost most of their vitality. They are unable to stand the severe cold and get around in the snow to find the necessary food to sustain life so they perish. Millinocket occupies an unique posi tion among the municipalities of Maine according to the Millinocket Journal. The short time that has elapsed since the town began its municipal life has not permitted until quite recently any of its population to gain a pauper resi dence. The roving character of the less opulent portion of the town’s inhabi tants militates against their gaining a residence. Those who have left their homes and come to the town were almost wholly young or middle aged people of energy and ability who are amply able to take care of themselves while the constant employment at good wages that the place affords renders it impossible that any one not en feebled by age or sickness should be in capable of self support. From time to time, unfortunates have been granted temporary assistance, but with the ex ception of those cases in which the persons asking assistance have come from across the border and a few whose legal residence the town, up to the present time, has been unable to locate, money expended for the relief of the poor has been reimbursed. Another matter in which Millinocket is in a class by itself is that of highways, or rather, the lack of them. With the exception of a piece of road about three miles in length reaching front the vil lage to the town line, the municipality has no highway to support. It is doubtful if there is another township in the State so situated. William Barret Ridgelev, Comptroller of the Currency since 1901, is a human treasure-house for hoarded romances and tragedies in money.

Although she has written only two books, her sparkl ing humor and remarkably clever character delineation have already won her the affection of discerning readers. Her new book. “Dimbie and I." shortly to be published by The Baker Taylor Co., is said to be a distinct advance on her former work. Among the notable fiction of the new season w ill be a romantic novel by C. X. A. M. Williamson, entitled. "The Princess Virginia," which the publi shers declare will outdistance even "Lady Betty" in popularity. Messrs. McClure, Phillips Co. also announce the real, authentic successor to Ellis Parker Butler's masterpiece of humor. "Pigs is Pigs." It is entitled, "The Great American Pic Company,” and it is as humorous in its way as its famous predecessor, y. Henry will greet his admirers with a new collec tion of stories: "The Trimmed Lamp and Other Stories of the Four Million.” Miss Marjorie Bowen, the author of that remarkable story of international fame, “The Viper of Milan.” will be represented in the spring’s lists by "The Leopard and the Lily.” In her new- book. Miss Bowen abandons momentarily the plains of Lombardy, and transfers her scene of action to the wild marches of Brittany in the Middle Ages. Robert Hichins, like other authors, is the recipient of many curious letters from admirers of his work. A letter recently received from a wonfan in Cuba, furnishing a fresh illustration of the fact that the important thing about a woman's letter is the post script. is as follows: “Dear Sir: A friend and myself have made a bet about you. He thinks that you are not a Catholic, and I think you are. Please let me know about this at once, so that the bet may I be decided. P. S.—If I am wrong, don't bother about letting me know." Eleanor Gates, author of "The Plow Woman." (McClure. Phillips Co.), and her husband. Richard Watson Tully. the playwright, are wintering in Capri, where Mrs. Tully is finishing her new book. "Cupid, the Cow Punch. which the same publisher? will issue some time this year. The tilla where they are resting belongs tc Elihu Vedder the artist, and was oc cupied last winter by the Booth Tarkingtons. One of the recent candidates for position as librarian in the New York public library wrote, on her examina tion paper, in answer to a question re garding the novels of Lew Wallace, that his principal work was ‘'Her Ben.” Meredith Nicholson, the author of ‘‘The House of a Thousand Candles." was a candidate for state senator recently in his home county in Indiana. He lost the nomination for two rea sons: Some of the delegates to the convention could not get it out of their heads that this man was the author of the Nicholson temperance law, and even a vigorous denial on the part of the chairman could not dissuade some of the more skeptical. But the tide turned against the aspiring author in ^>ad earnest when one of the delegates cried out: "Gentleman, thjs man Nicholson is a plutocrat; he is rolling in money. Why, gentlemen, he lives in a house with a thousand windows!" That settled it. Mr. Nicholson lost and had to keep on writing books for a liv ing. It looks as though his latest. “The Port of Missing Men," would make him more of a plutocrat than ever. General Oliver Otis Howard has written his autobiography, which The Baker and Taylor Co. will publish this fall. The General's experiences while in command of a brigade at Bull Run and Gettysburg, his services as head of the Freedman's Bureau during the Reconstruction period and afterwards as Peace Commissioner to thehostile Indians, and his work and influence as an educator, all combine to make tIris a book of the first importance. G. Lewis Dickinson's now kook, which will ho published early in March undor the title “From King to King." tells the tragedy of the Puritan revolution in a series of dramatic sketches in prose and verso, it is the object of the author as set forth ir> the preface "to delineate viv idly the characters of leading actors in the --truggle. their ideals and the dis tinction of these as reflected in the cur rent of events. The sequence of dialogue, essays and comments in which the action proceeds begins with Eliot and Hampden in the Tower, presents Milton and his former tutor Young. Land, the King and Cromwell, ar.d concludes with Vane on the scaffold and Mr. Pepys (from a ba’ cony) saying “Lord, what a crowd! Come, dinner, dinner, dinner!" Miss Carolyn Wells begins a series of humorous sketches in the March Put nam’s entitled “The Emily Ernmins Pa pers.” The sketches describe the thrill ing adventures of a suburban spinster making her first visit to the Old World. As Miss Wells is a suburban dweller who ■went to Europe for the first time la--t year something of the charm of personal experience may be expected to lend in terest and significance to her work. T-nngfcllnw's "Evangeline" appears to he !he most popular long peem in our literature It is read every year by hun dred? of thousands of American and Ca nadian school children. Grand pre. "on the shore of the Basin of Mina?." is vis ited every season by throngs of eager tourists. And yet. according to Prof. Archibald MacMecha:. s article in the February Atlantic on “Evangeline and the Real Acadians." the story of the Aca dian.? as Longfellow recounts it is not borne ont by the facts of history. Mili tary necessity compelled their removal, for they were a menace to England's authority in Canada; and it was Now England rather than the mother rountrv that was directly responsible for the act and Boston ships conveyed the Acadians away from their homes. Mary Stuart Cutting's forthcoming book “The Suburban Whirl." may be described as a long story of married life made up of much the same material and set in the same scene—the Jersey suburbs of New York—as the little comedies of married life and of courtship by which the author is already known. The story is concern ed with the experiences of a young cou ple who have just moved Into the su burbs and who have alreadv felt the pinch in money matters in their efforts to mingle with their more prosperous noighbors in the social suburban set. The book, like all Mrs. Cutting's w>rk. is hilf humorous, half pathetic ard evidently founded on personal experience and ob servation. Early this month the Centurv Company will publish in book form A. E. W. Ma son's "Running Water.” which has been appearing serially in the Century since August. At the same time the Centurv Company will issue Frederic C. Penfield's "East of Suez a book of travel laving Special stress on the. neglect bv America of tiading opportunities in Asia. Mis?

Miss Rickert has written many short stories which have appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, The Outlcwk. Every body'.? Magazine. Scribner's and other magazine?. Miss Rickert wrote “The Golden Hawk” entirely in Provence, Where the scene of the story Is laid. Mistral accepted the dedication of the book, which is a high compliment paid to Pn American worker by the greatest of all poets of the Provence. W :lbnr Xesbit. author of "The Gentle man Ragman," had an engagement, ope day recently, to meet some members of his fnrr.dv who were doing their shopping and take luncheon with them in the grill room of one of the big department stores of Chicago. Mr. Nesbit arrived h.Tf an hour early, engaged a table, deposited hi? hat and coat on a chair therebv. and took up his station near the elevator in order to greet his party. Pretty soon an elderly ladv stepped up to him and asked: "*?.V you tel1 me where to find the toys?"

MAINE MUSICIANS. The new organ now In process of erection in the Rockland Methodist church will be heard for the first time by the general public, Wednesday evening, March 13. To celebrate the event a high grade concert will be giv en by local and outside talent. The Melodla Ladles' Quartette and the new ly organized Amphion male quartette will render several pleasing selections. Prank E. Holding, the well known Violinist of Lewiston, who has Just re turned from abroad, where he has been studying, will be one of the artists. The committee are In correspondence with several famous organists and a decision in the matter will be made at an early date. A young musician, who. it is be lieved, has a most promising future, is 12-year-old Miss Annie Marie Bartlett of Rumford Falls. Her first step3 in a musical education were the study of the piano, and she took from forty to fifty lessons on this instrument. Eut she much prefers a violin as the Inter preter of her musical nature, and she took up the study of that instrument and her teachers predict that seme day she will be a violinist of note. And well she may, for she has musical for bears on each side of the family. The Warhurst family are all vocalists, and have knowledge of several musical in struments. Mr. Eartlett is able to play every sort of a string instrument, al- i though lie has never dev*u*d himself to the study of any one. Miss Bart lett's grandfath'-r, Adams Bartlett, was a violinist, as was her uncle, Jos eph Bartlett, of Rumford Falls. Mrs. Karriette Kidder, who is at 80 years of age, the only one of the older genera tion of Bartletts left at "The Hill” so called. near Rumford Center, still plays her violin, and at the Bartlett reunion held two years ago, both she and Marie played, much comment being made on the two, who at 10 and SO years, were the oldest and youngest Bartletts pres ent, and both artists. Mrs. Bartlett has studied vocal music with well known teachers. Only recently little Miss Bartlett played the intermezzo, "Ave Maria," with pipe organ accom paniment, at the Methodist church. Miss Marie Blanche Foss, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter T. Foss of Glen wood avenue. Portland, who sang de lightfully before the Mentone Club the other afternoon, is attracting much at tention on account of her lovely mezzo soprano voice. From a child she has been passionately fond of music and sang constantly during her school days before she was old enough to begin* voice study. She took the leading parti in several operettas when a mere slip I of a girl and always with credit to j herself and those under whose direc- J tion she appeared. Miss Foss is aj graduate of the Deering High school j from which she went to Kent's Hill for a two-years' course. Her first teacher in singing was Miss Auguste Helene Schumacher with whom she made excellent progress. Then she spent one year under Miss Harriet Foster's tuition arid another with Miss Martha F. B. Hawes. hile at Kent's Hill Dr. Wilson F. Morse, the resident singing master, took her in training and carried on the work so thoroughly begun. Since last Sep- tinie r she has been one of Miss Hen rietta D. Rice's pupils and is rapidly making her way to the front ranks of Portland's younger musicians. She j nopes to become a church singer of note and plans after being properly fitted in lier own home city to study away. Already she has sung in the chorus of the First Universalist church of Woodfords and occupied the posi- tion of contralto in the quartet choir i of Woodfords Congregational church. Wilfred E. Cole of Freeport is among the musicians of Maine who works earnestly for all that pertains to musi- j cal progress. Mr. Cole was born in i Cornish. His father. Ezra Barker Cole, was a prominent business man of the town, and had a tenor voice which he used principally in the interest of the olden time singing school. Mr. Cole's mother, Augusta A. Colo, ha.l a high soprano voice and sang in the village choir. Both his father's and mother's family were musical, there having been many professional musi cians in past generations. Mr. Cole's brother, Arthur B., is a singer of charm, and is a member of the Tirst Congregational church choir in Free port. His voice is well cultivated, and he sings a deal in connection with male quartets. Mr. Wilfred Cole sang for a time in the High Street Congregational church choir in Auburn. On leaving the choir he accepted the position of tenor in the Brunswick Congregational church, where he has been for four years. Mr. Cole bus directed the music of the Freeport First Congregational choir since the sudden death of Mr. M ill Sloekbridge of Portland, several years ago. His voice is a high, lyric tenor, and h;.s a phenomenal range of three octaves—from low F to F in altissimo. He has been a member of the festival chorus for eight years, and this year was elected director of the Biddeford and Saco festival choruses. He was one of the organizers of the Freeport festival chorus, serving as vice-presi dent of the chorus the first year of its organization. Mr. Cole directs the Freeport festival chorus, which has the largest list of male voices in the cata logue of festival choruses in the State, and which numbers SO or more mem bers. EDUCATIONAL TOPICS. Hon. W. J. Corthell of Calais has taught school for r>2 years. Miss Gertrude Terkins of Bucksport has been engaged to teach in the Liberty High school. The school at Watson corner. Fort Fairfield, has been named “Longfellow School.” in honor of Henry Wadswortn Longfellow. Miss A. L.

New York, 'March 3.—At least one more dramatic feature of the Thaw tri al is foreshadowed for this week in the appearance on the stand of the pris oner's mother, Mrs. William Thaw. It is stated to be the program of the de fence to have Mrs. Thaw take the wit ness chair as did her daughter-in-law. Mrs. Thaw's testimony, it is said, will l,e in the line of prenatal influences .which made of Harry Thaw the ner vous, sleepless, headstrong child de scribed i.i court by the family physi cians. Tliis week also, Ur. Bingaman and Ur. Ueeinar of Pittsburg, who at tended Harry Thaw when he passed through a severe course of infantile diseases, including St. Vitas dance, will be put 0:1 the stand by the defence. They will follow Ur. Charles G. Wag ner of Binghamton. When Justice Fitzgerald ascends the bench tomorrow Dr. Britton D. Evans will resume the stand and District At torney Jerome will conclude his cross examination of the alienist. Lawyer Delmas spent today as the guest of Dr. Evans at Morris Plains, N. J. Thaw's Sunday in the Tombs was uneventful. Ho did not attend relig ious services and had no visitors. His mail consisted of four letters and he wrote and sent a single letter to A. Bussell Peabody, of his counsel. Later Mr. Peobody sai.1 that the letter con tained a denial of the oft-repeated story that there had been an unpleas antness between members of the de fendant’s counsel. One of the counsel for the defence said today concerning the possibility of a commission in lunacy to examine Thaw as to his present mental condi tion: "The defence is confident that no ap plication will be made by the district attorney for the appointment of a com mission in lunacy. But if such appli cation is made it will be met by us with such overwhelming proof against it that there is not one chance in a thousand of the appointment being made. We know positively that there is not a show for the appointment. We are confident of an acquittal. The evi dence has been all in our favor and we believe that Thaw will go from the Tombs a free man inside of a month. In fact we are certain.” The possibility that a commission in lunacy will be asked for by the dis trict alto: 11 y became more doubtful to day as it was understood that Mr. Jerome and his assistant. Mr. Garvan, were working all day on their cross examination of Dr. Wagner and Mrs. William Thaw. THAW SHOWS TEMPER. Drives Wife A'vay from Cell and Shakes Staring Messenger Boy. New York. March 3.—While temporari ly occupying a c-'.l tin which he was being treated by hi- dentist Saturday morning. Harry K. Thaw refused absolutely to permit his young wife to pass the door, and, after a most perfunctory greeting, ordeted her away, with a half stifled oath. Nor did he hesitate to permit four out siders present to perceive iris unwilling ness to take advantage of this opportuni ty for an extended interview with thu girl without a cell grating between them —practically the first ho has had sinco his imprisonment for the murder of Stan ford White. Astounded by this contrast to his atti tude in court, those present could not believe that lie was in earnest until ho made Ids position clear by peremptorily dismissing her in response to her request that she he permitted to his beside him while ho war. in the hands of his dentist. “No, I don't want you in here," Thaw said, sharply. “Go away. Take a drive around the park, or do something else," be concluded, half stifling an oath. With a reproachful “Oh, Harry!" the young woman, tears in her eyes, left the jail. It had been observed that for the last 1 wo or three days the prisoner has been extremely nervous, but the attitude he assumed toward his wife startled even those who have become accustomed to his eccentricities. There were several witnesses present, and their stories are practically the same. At the same time he gave other indi cations of bis overwrought condition by seizing and shaking a messenger lioy who be thought was staring at him in an ob jectionable manner. He spoke with more or less freedom of the progre.-s of his trial, and gave it ns his opinion that the district attorney had failed to make a case against him: that he had “fallen down" cm the criminal charge, and that there could be nothing resulting from “this lunatic busiress," as he phrased it. WHITE WROTE DENIAL Of Charges By Evelyn Thaw Away Back In February, 1904. New York. March 3.—Stanford White wrote a denial and repudiation of the accusations against him which Evelyn Nesbit Thaw says she told Harry Thaw in Paris, the night he urged her to marry him. The document is printed now- for the first time. The letter was written to Miss Vera Simonton, formerly a close friend and confidant of Harry Thaw and his wif°. •Miss Simonton would have been call ed as a witness for the prosecution had she not betaken herself, directly after the slaying of White, to South Africa, where she is at present. Without her presence to identify the letter it will be impossible for the dis trict attorney to read it to the record of the Thaw trial. The letter, which is typewritten, bears the initials of Stan ford White, penned by himself, and is as follows: February 23, 1904. “Dear Miss Simonton—I duly receiv ed your letter, but as the matter you speak about is one so entirely between Evelyn and yourself, and about which I knew absolutely nothing, and as 1 have 'hardly seen Evelyn for the past two months, I do not see hewv I can be of any service. ‘•Although you have a perfect right to ask for your photograph, as EvelyVi could not be held responsible here for what she did abroad, I hardly think it iwould be wise for you to make this a condition before returning the things Evelyn and Mrs. Nesbit left with you “As for the other matter you mention, the story you brought back from Paris was too grotesquely absurd to have other than a natural death, and when Evelyn returned X put the whole thing out of my mind. 1 trust, therefore, that you will not trouble yourself to come down and make an explanation which has become wholly unneces sary. 4 “Yours truly, “S. W. When White wrote the letter Miss Simonton was in New York. Her friendly relations with the Thaws had been broken off. This is indicated by the first and second paragraphs of the letter. The third paragraph relates to the charges of Evelyn Nesbit that Stanford White was responsible for her downfall. FALLS TO DEATH. Sad Death of Passenger At Sea Through Foolhardy Act. Halifax, N. S., March 3.—Waving his cap with one hand and scaling the flag staff on the taffrail of an ocean liner with the other while the steamer was going at a full speed, Thomas Sculley, aged 20 years, a second class passen ger on the Allan Liner Tunisian, drop ped to his death on the passage from Liverpool, which ended today at Hali- i fax. While the deck of the steamer was crowded with passengers Iasi Sunday Sculley and other passengers started to amuse themselves in various ways and the unfortunate young man with foolhardy bravery started to climb and cap the flag staff. His companions Im plored him not to take such a risk, but lie heeded not their advice. When about half way up the staff his companions to their horror saw him swing out over the stern of the steam er, lose his hold and then plunge into the sea. The waters, which had been churned up by the propeller, sucked him under and it is not thought that he ever came to the surface. The steamer was stopped, a boat was lowered, and a search made, but no trace of Sculley was found. He was a native of Liverpool, and was bound to Halifax. YOUTH COMMITS SUICIDE.

Coroner Finds Dieobedionce of Orders Caused Waterbury Wreck. New Haven, March 3.—On the evi dence presented to him Saturday Cor oner Eli Mix made a preliminary find ing to the effect that Engineer William E. Fisher of the New Haven Gray’s special train, by disobeying orders. Is responsible for the wreck on the Nau gatuck branch of the New Haven Rail road early Saturday at Waterbury. when the special ran with terrific force into a regular passenger train from New Haven, resulting in the death of three trainmen, the probable fatal in jury of two National Guardsmen and the injury of a score of other Guards men. The debris at the point where the collision occurred was cleared away in the afternoon, and as no trace of Fish er’s body was found the coroner has de cided that lie jumped from the cab and fled. An order has been issued to the poiice to locate and arrest him. The coroner’s finding at tiiis time is based mostly upon the testimony of John F. Fitzsimmons, a baggagemas ter of this city, who had been sent on the engine to throw switches after the special train had carried out orders to take a siding. His testimony was to the effect that Fisher had written orders to take tlie siding at Hill's, and that when he asked him, "where’s Hill’s siding” ho reached for the emergency brake and threw it, just as the other engine loomed into sight. Fitzsimmons jumped and he did not see the engineer after. Coroner Mix holds the opinion that Fisher either had forgotten the order or intended to disregard It and clear the block. At the* time Fitzsimmons spoke the engine had cleared the block. Possibly the engineer had forgotten the location of the switch, which had been relocated recently. Conductor George Eaton Is under de tention at his home here, being too badly used up to get out. The evidence thus far has not tended to show that he was in any way to blame. The coroner finds that the special was running about 40 miles an hour, but railroad men made statements to the effect that they cannot understand why Fisher was running his engine so fast. Gov. Woodruff, who was on the spe cial, was thrown through the back of a seat, spraining one arm at the eibow. RARE BOOK BRINGS $2,900 Brooklyn Bibliophile Purchaser of Champlain’s First Narrative.

ALL DRUGGISTS: 50c. AND tr.oo. AFTER TIMBER. Western Mills to Raise Sunken Pine Legs. Expect to San MlUlons ol Dollars Worth. To Fxplort Othor Minnesota and Wisconsin Streams. St. Paul, Minn., March 3.—The scarci ty of pine timber in the Middle West has impelled lumber mills to engage In n novel undertaking by which they hope to save millions of dollars’ iworth of logs which now lie at the bottom of the Mississippi and other rivers, ex tending from the northern part of the state where the Mississippi has its source, to Da Oro.-se, in all about 1000 miles of river bed. For fifty years log ging has been parried on by rafting pine legs down ibis great highway, the logs heing floated down the Mississippi to a point Just north of St. I’uul, where they were gatht red up and made into rafts. From this point they were float ed down the river to the various mills, guided by small steamers or tugs. Old logging men and mill owners be lieve that the new undertaking will re sult in fortunes for those engaged In the work. It is believed that the river bott im Is literally paved with pine logs even ns far south as Dubuque, Io. It has been demonstrated that logs may be raised with great profit. The plan Is to lift these logs with a hoisting engine erected on flat boats, place the logs on the river hank and have a Government scaler inspect them and record the marks found thereon. When the origi nal owner can be found he will be com pensated at the rate of $8 per thous and feet. This represents just so much velvet to the owner and still leaves a margin of profit to the hoisters, who can find a ready market for ithe re clahned logs at from $12 to $14 a thous and feet. The logs, that become ‘‘deadheads” or ‘‘sinkers” are chiefly of the small va riety, known to lumbermen as “pig iron” Norway. They seldom get to be more than eight to twelve inches through at the butt, and are heavy and soggy. Rfvermen say a great many of these sink before leaving the landing, a few of them "deadhead” it down stream for a way, one end bobbing in the waiter until, thoroughly water soaked, they sink to the bottom. Sound pine logs do not deteriorate when i-tibmerged in water, no matter how long they are immersed. Dog.? which have lain tinder water for half a century have been found in perfect con dition. and lately some of the best lum ber produced has been that from some gigantic pine logs that were felled for ty-five years ago and became drawn down in one of the neighboring lakes, by the waterlogging of hardwood tim ber with which the raft was bound. Tho entire raft, chain bound, was lifted and half a million feet of perfect timber was recovered. Cither streams in Minnesota and Wis consin, where logs have been rafted for years will be explored by the company now formed fo begin operations on the Mississippi River. Each lumberman has a private mark which is affixed to every log, the same as a braj’ri is applied to range cattle. The state 'logging survey or has a copy of these marks or brands and when a log is recovered it .will ba an easy matter to tell to whom it orig inally belonged, and he or his heirs will receive pay therefor, as shall be deter mined by the state scaler. 600-POUND MAN DEAD Rollers Put Under Casket to Remove it From the House. York, Pa., March 3.—The funeral of William Heindal, who was conceded to be the heaviest man in the county, recently took place at his late home, near Dallastown.

And yet there are weavers who turn out only one yard of stuff a year. They are tin Gobelin tapestry weavers, who work it the factory in Paris which is owned by the French government. They average in the year only from one to three yard' of goods, according to the fineness of the weave and intricacy of the pattern. “These weavers wmk at hand loamy where they put dn the filling, or soft, yvith a shuttle held in the left hand.
