;OL. XXXVIII. AUGUSTA, MAINE. MONDAY MORNING. APRIL 8, 1907. XO, 84 BRUTAL JITTACK On Rev. H. N. Pringle by Mob at Bar Harbor. Outcome ot Prosecution of Chap Who Sold Rim Wine. Authorities Are Investigating and Arrests Are Expected. Ear Harbor. Me., April 7.—Although no arrests have yet been made, the county and town officials have been conducting’ a thorough investigation into the brutal assault by a mob on liev. Henry H. Pringle of Waterville, secretary iff the Maine Civic League, on the street here Friday night. It is said that the mob was composed princi pally of boys and young in i n. The reason for the assault i sbolieved to lie in the fact that during tne day Mr. Pringle prosecuted a young man named Orrin Ifayncs for alleged violat ing the liquor laws, claiming to have purchased a quart of wine from him on the street. The Bangor Morning News had the following account of the affair, terming it "a brutal attack:” Bar Harbor. April ■>.—Rev. Henry H. Pringle, secretary of the Maine Civic League was the victim of a brutal as sault tonight at the hands of a small mob made up mostly of boys and ir responsible persons. He is in his room in the New Florence hotel, suffering lrorri a gash in the top of his head, three and a half inches long and quite deep, requiring several stitehes to close. It was evidently inflicted by a stone or club. At a late hour at night Mr. Pringle was closeted with a deputy sheriff, the county attorney and chief of police and declares that he will not leave the town until his assailants are brought to jus tice. The assault came at the end of a rather eventful day for Mr. Pringle. He came here on the morning train and registered at the New Flor ence. He was sitting in the office with a number of others when a well-known character named Orrin Haynes came in and canvassed the crowd for busi ness in the pocket peddling line. No one seemed to want anything, but when Haynes got around to Mr. Pringle he struck a customer. There was some dickering finally re sulting in Haynes selling Mr. Pringle a hi tile of wine. Mr. Pringle later invited his newly made acquaintance to dinner and de tained him until the Civic League man could get word to tlie police. Haynes was arrested >n the charge of single sale and given a hearing in the after noon. At night Mr. Pringle attended a clam supper at the Methodist church and later dropped into the Y. M. C. A. for a few minutes. Ho left the latter place for the hotel anil had gone but a short distance when ho was met by a small mob of boys and rr.i a who poured in a volley of rotten eggs, then closed in on him. There was a general mix-up in which 'Mr. Pringle was rolled In the mud and struck on tiio head. He finally brake away from bis assail ants and reached nis hotel in a sorry plight, covered with mud and blood from th i wound it: he- hp.ad, which bled pro fusely. Hr. George A. Phillips was railed anil fiend it necessary to Hake several stitch es in the wound. No police iwen in the neighborhood at tin time of the assault but ■soon arrivi-d at the betel and stood guard aganist fur ther trouble. At first the matter was not regarded very seriously, but when it was learned that Mr. Pringle had suffered a severe wound and that it was a matter which could not be overlooked. Deputy Sheriff B. S. Higgins, County Attorney Wood and Chief of Police Guthrie hurried to the hotel and held a long consultation with Mr. Pringle. When seen by a reporter Mr. Pringle was suffering severely and the attendant physician said that he had h'-en oat of his head at times. Mr. Pringle said that he had beer, warn ed to look out for trouble but he had not expected any such lawlessness in Bar Harbor. Ho could not Identify nry of his assailants ns the assault occurred in a dimly-lighted place. tie said that he should proceed against bis assailants to the fullest extent of the law.

There is eniy one “Bromo Quininen Thai la Laxative Bromo Quinine, Similarly narrw'-i rciristJras? deceive. This !«rsl *ny tin* ■listrii t attorney's suggestion for the appointment of a commission in luna cy, will probably be recalled to the stand when the trial is resumed Mon day. He has already testilled that he relieves that Thaw was insane w nrn he shot Stanford White and will proba bly repeat that statement. The lunacy commission having decided that Thaw is now sane, Mr. Jerome will probably be prevented from asking Dr. Hamilton regarding his opinion as to Thaw's present sanity. Therefore, there is lit tle that he can cross-examine the alien ist on. Whether or not the State will call any more witnesses is problematical. It is said that they expect to require no more than a t hour to complete their case. I!' this is true, there is no reason why the case should not go to the jury Thursday. Distri t Attorney jirome stated Sat urday i. ,:.r that V Pad no more wit nesses t.lii evidence he would try to place before the jury, tender the legal procedure of the courts of New York, the sur-refcuttal of the defense ends the case. The only way in which the prosecution can get evidence before tlie jury after the defense closes its sur rebuttal is by special permission of the court on the ground that the evidence is newly discovered or that the witness was not within the jurisdiction of the court when the prosecution was put ting in its direct case. It has been rumored that Mr. Jerome would at tempt to put several new witnesses on the stand after the final close of the defense's case, but his statement to night puts that rumor to rest. Some weeks ago at one ol the many times when tho case seemed nearing its close it was agreed between the attor neys that each one should have a full day to himself for his summing up: in other words, that neither should he farc ed so break his address in the middle. Mr. Iielinas stated at that time that he would not require more than one day for his argument. It is said now, however, that he may require two days. It this is the c>se, he will probably begin Monday. Ho should finish Tuesday. Mr. Jerome sitill says that he will not require, more than one day and therefore at the latest hp should complete his argu ment Wednesday. Justice Fitzgerald's charge to the jury should not require more than three hours, and it is therefore possible that the case will be placed in the uir.v's hands Thursday. Mr. Dclmas will go before the jury with a plea for an absolute acquittal on the ground that Thaw's mind was unbalanced r the time he committed the crime and that in view of the fact that he has since recovered his mental balance lie should be allowed to go absolutely free. Mr. Jerome, on the other hand, will ar gue that Thaw was sane within tho meaning of thy law when he killed Stan ford Whit-; that the crime was planned and premeditated and that he should suf f- r the penalty of the law. While Mr. J romp conscientiously believes that Thaw is insane- today and should be in carcerated in some institution v. here ho could not he a menace to th communi ty, the commission has decided it hat ho is not, and there is nothing- for the dis trict attorney to do but demand that Thaw be sent to the electric chair. "I do not expect that it will take more than an hour to close our rase,” said Clifford W. Hartridge, Thaw's attorney of record, Saturday night. ■'Our evidence is> all in, save for a few maltters purely formal, nothing remains hut the summing up. I am not sure whether Mr. Dclmas will be able to finish his address in one day, but ha may begin Monday.” FERDINAND DODGE. Native of Belfast and Former Resident of Portland Dies In Boston. Portland.

A sheet of dame burst from the stove and in an instant her clothing was ablaze. The Great Northern Railroad was fined $1000 each in 15 counts Saturday at St. Paul, Minn., for rebating. The trial of the Great Northern was before Judge Page Morris of the federal court on the charge of giving freight con cession on grain shipments to the Pa cific coast. The case was called, the jury selected, the addresses to the jury made, the charge of the court deliver ed, the verdict returned and penalty imposed within three hours. The judge in imposing the penalty, em phasized the statement that it must not be considered a precedent in anv other case. The summer home at Bridgeport, Conn., of Dr. A. L. Northrop, retired, formerly of 57 West 49th street. Now h ork City, was broken into and robbed early Shinday of solid silver ware to the value of several thousand dollars. Among the pieces taken were many which were heirlooms and presents. Before their departure the robbers had broken open refrigerators and the wine closet and had regaled themselves with the contents. Dr. Northrop and his wife were sleeping up stairs and the servants were also in the upper part of the house and none was awak ened by the noise during the night. The police have begun an investiga tion into the cause of the big fire which destroyed the plant of the Gould Drug Mills Co. at Saugus, Mass., early Sat urday morning, in which Foreman Os borne S. Ellis and Assistant Michael Desmond perished. The head of one man was found several feet from the charred trunk, and this has caused suspicion which may prove to be well founded. There are two theories: One is that an explosion started the fire and knocked the two victims sense- less; the other is that they w’ere slain i and the place set on fire by yeggs, but the police do not take much stock in this latter theory. HEALTH OF WOMEN In this nineteenth oeutury to Weep up with the march of progress every power of woman is strained to its utmost, and the tan upon her physi cal system is far greater than ever. In the good old-fasliioned days of our grandmothers few drugs were used in mediciues. They relied upon roots and herbs to cure weaknesses and disease, and their k nowledge of roota and herbs was far greater than that of women today. It waa in this study of roots and herbs that Lydia E. Pinkham, of Lvnn, Mass discovered and gave to the women of the world a remedy more potent and efficacious than any combination of drugs. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is an honest, tried and true remedy of unquestionable therapeutic value. This medicine made from native roots and herbs contains no narcotics orother harmful drugs and today holds the record for the largestnuinber of actual cures of female diseases of any .medicine the world has ever known, and thousands of voluntary testimonials are on file in I e laboratory at Lvnn, Mass., which testify to its wonderful value. Mrs. C. E. Fink, of Carnegie, Pa., writes:—Dear Mrs. Pinkham I wish every suffering woman would take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and write to you for advice. It has done me a world of good and what it has accomplished for me I know it will do for others.” When women are troubled with Irregularities, Displacements, Ulcer ation, Inflammation, Backache, Nervous Prostration, they should re member there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham s ege table Compound. Mr5. Pinkham’s Standing Invitation to Women Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to write Mrs. Pinkham, at Lvnn, Mass. Out of her vast volume of ex perience she probably has the very knowledge that will help your case. Craft Sinking Timely Rescue. New York, April 7.—Yearly every vessel that has arrived from Southern ports during the last week has brought some story of marine disaster, wrought by the cyclone off Hatteras during the last 10 days of March.

The rescue was witnessed by Speake-r Cannon and others of the con gressional party, which the Bluecher had on board. It was a weary band which the life boat of the liner took from the water logged wreck. They were faint with hunger, as for nearly a full week they had had nothing to subsist on excel t a few water-soaked biscuits. lu their every posture was the titter weariness which bad come of three days and nights of unceasing and what oft scented hopeless roil to keep the wreck alloat. It was shortly after 3 o'clock on the morning of Thursday last that the word wont around the Bluecher that the vessel had altered her course to head for a wreck which had been sighted, and that a rescue was about to be aotempted. On the deck of the wreck stood the crew in glistening oil skins. Little difficulty attended the work of rescue. A lifeboat, in charge of Officer Boyer, was lowered from the Bluecher and rowed to ‘the wreck. Into this went Capt. Batson of the bark and the 12 mem bers of his crew. There was a large black dog on board. The animal had been injured by a fall ing spar and as the boat was already ton deeply laden for safety one of the men killed the animal with a belaying pin. When the sea-worn, captain and his crew were sufficiently revived they told the story of the voyage which had ended so disastrously. Capt. Larsen said that his vessel was carrying a cargo of oak staves and had set out from Mobile on March 5. bound for Bergen, Norway. The bark had been out 20 days and had reached no further than the east Florida coast when she en countered a gale in which she sprung a leak so dangerous as to send all hands to ithe pumps. The men wore still striv ing to keep down the inrushing water whin, five days later, a cyclone burst upon the hark, and, despite all ihe men could do, the wafer steadily gained. On the morning of the re .one the vessel was completely writer-logged and kept afloat only by the buoyancy of her lumber car go. The Gulfport was built in Italy in 1«77. She registered and was owned in Norway. BARRILLES ASSASSINATED. Former President of Guatamala Mur dered By Young Fellow Guatamalan.

POLICE RAID A Joint Which Is Suspected to Be for Gambling Purposes. The top story of the building occu pied by Arthur Ring as a billiard hall lias for a long time been looked upon by the police with suspicion. It is sup posed that the place was a gambling joint and Saturday evening Marshal Andrews accompanied by Constables Tozior and Babb searched the place at about 11.30. No one was found In the place and there was no fire in the stove. Several packs of cards were found, a padded table and several empty bot tles. The windows were covered with heavy curtains and everything pointed to a genuine gambling joint. The fact that nobody was found in the place and that there was no fire in the stoves seems to indicate that the proprietor has gone out of business. It is very well known by the police who the proprietor of the place Is, but it has not yet been decided whether any action will be taken on the case.

GARDINER RUN OVER BY FREIGHT. Leslie Batchelder, Aged 14, Loses the Most of One Foot. A ppeeinl freight going west slowed down in Fariningdale Saturday afternoon en wait fer me 2.0t passenger train to pass it.

Reed, near the North street station of the Accommoda tion train. There wen* several stories as to how the unfortunate hoy met with the accident, but the story tts told by him self and corroborated by his companions seems the most likely, lie was not all to blame for the accident and the report that he was trying to steal a ride on the train is not true. He left his home on Ne>rth strc*t to go down town anil while on the way lie saw several of his play mates at the station In Farmingdale. Roylike, he went aereiss the road to join them. He started to cross the tracks by 1 la* crossing that leads ut> Ste.ne's wharf and as the. Electric track is considerable higher than those of the Maine Central the planking IS. on a sleep incline. Just as he- was about to cross, a freight went past in Iront of him. he lost his footing and fell, one foot getting under a wheel. His companions became frightened anrl ran. He extricated ihimselt and dragged himself without assistance across th" road, and when the doctor.-’ arrived they found him sitting in a stone wall, gritting his teeth but rrot letting a whimper out of him. The victim of the accident was Leslie, the H-year-old son of Eugene Botch' lder of North street. He is a vrry bright, ac tive and gentlemanly l id. He was a Ken nebec Journal carrier in this city. The accident was an exceedingly unfortunate one for him and lie lias the sympathy of a host of friends. BUT HE NEEDED THE MONEY. Very Clever Swindle Worked on Prominent Business Man.

Wrecked in Waterville Yard—No One Injured. Soule's extra, a freight train which at rives in Waterville at about .7.1.0 p. M. from Brunswick, came to grief at the upper end of the Maine Central station in the city Sunday afternoon, three cars leaving the irons, and the railroad platform between the tracks being badly torn up. The train had climbed the Front street grade without mishap and had turned the reversed surve which passes the station. The locomotive was about —77 car lengths above the crossing when a car midway of the train left the irons and the train came to an abrupt standstill. The'cars which were off the track plowed into the ties of the railroad and tore up the platform be tween and on both sides of the main line and the turn-out known as the •'Yankee” lor a space of 1.70 feet, from a point oposite the waiting room to the switch from the Yankee to the main line. The wrecking crew was quickly on the scene and the work of clearing the line began. Luckily there were iso passenger trains *1up, so that there whs no delay except to tho train Hint was in trouble. A large crowd gathered to see the crews work, and it is probable that the operations of the wreckers were wit nessed by the greatest number that have seen a train put on the irons for some time. It was very lueky tit it no one was injured. ’1 hero are a variety of i:i.*.iries as to tin* cause of the accident. My some it is i .light that owing to the action of tile trust, tile vails spread under lie* strain ol tile train wlia-'i wa- tanking tile I.-versed curve. .\ti.i(le-r opinion is that a plank of tie- platform was too near tile rail and litat lit.* linage of a ear wheel rode up on ih plank and the weight of the ear on ijie edge of tiie rail turned it over. Whatever (lie cause, it made a had mix-up and tlm railroad men ar glad that ii hap pened on Sunday when ii did not delay the traffic.

At the last town meeting $30 were raised for the benefit of the Canaan Free Public Library. Saturday eve ning the association selected a commit tee to purchase books for same. Percy Williams was chosen librarian. A number of new books, presented by “A Friend-’ and a dozen and more volumes from Hugh J. Chisholm of New York the president of the Inter national Paper Mill Company, have re cently been put in circulation at the Rumford Public Library. Arrangements are being made at the Thompson Free Library to have a new heating plant installed, the old system having proved inadequate. Dr. E. A. Thompson has offered to install a new hot water plant, provid ing the library should be opened every day in the week. At the recent town meeting the annual ap propriation was increased $3.".tl which will, with a little additional help, insure the opening of the library to the public every day. When this is done the old system of issuing books as last as they are returned will be done away with and they will be held oxer night for inspection before being issued again. In addition to the new heating plant, several other changes will be made, among which will be the digging out of a basement under the stack room which will be used for storing maga zine files, congressional records, etc., which although valuable for reference are not called for frequently enough to warrant a place in the stack room, which is rapidly becoming v.-.

Municipal Government By Commission The Galveston experiment of muni cipal government by commissioner lias been so successful that it is likely to be followed in numerous other cities in the near future. Iowa has just fol lowed the example of Kansas ir. passing a law- allowing cities to have this from of government. The Iowa law applies only to cities having at least 25,000 population. ley Moines is the city that has been most urgent for it, but it may also he adopted by Dubuque. Davenport, Council Bluffs, Sioux City. Cedar Rapids, and Burlington. The new Iowa law provides, in brief, for a mayor and four eouncilrnen at large, chojsen at an elections in which no party designations are made on the ballot. These five officials are to ex ercise all powers and duties now held by the mayor, city council, board of public winks, park commission, asses sor. aduitor, treasurer, engineer and other administrative and executive of ficers of the city. The functions of the city government are divided into five branches, with one of the five officials at the head of each. Changes in the assignment may be made at any time by a majority vote. All meetings of the council must he open to the public and all motions be made in waiting. All franchise ordinances must be submitted to a vote of the people. All ordinances appropriating money must lie on tile with the city clerk at least one week before filial passage. All city employes are to he under civil service regulations. Itemized reports of expenses shall be made monthly and copies furnished the daily papers and placed on tile in the public library. Any ordinance petitioned for by 25 per cent of the voters must be passed by the council within 30 days or submitted to a vote of the people. The question of adopt ing this plan of municipal government, or the abandonment of it after once adopted, may be decided by a vote of the people of the city, on petition of 10 per cent of the voters. Starving the New Yorkers. An impassioned orator made a most remarkable plea this week at a meet ing of anarchistic rabble called to 1 Ketlier in New York to protest against the trial of Moyer. Haywood and Pct tibone for the cowardly assassination of ex-Oovernor Stuonbcrg of Idaho. His idea seemed to he that the work ing classes of New York would unite to bring starvation on that city they 'would arouse a public sentiment which •would demand the release of these Idaho prisoners without trial for the atrocious crime for which they have been indicted Here is the way lie would go at it ■‘1s t the milk carts stop running: let tile long line of vegetable wagons that crawl all night over Brooklyn* bridge cease their deliveries; let the trains and ferries stand Idle for a single week, and the bloated and cruel faces that look today so contemptuously out of the windows of Delmonieo’s and Sherry's w ill be drawn and wihte with famine. What can the militia and their riot cartridges avail against the worker who sits quietly* in the tenements he calls his home and lets his masters and their families starve? in the quiet streets of the city the soldier shall find no food for his cartridge nor for himself. Into her bosom the pale lady of starvation shall gather th** soldier, too.** A great scheme, that. Of course it did not occur to the speaker that the poor people in the tenements would starve at the same time that the “pale lady of starvation" was gathering in tlie soldiers and the plutocrats. These latter could easily enough get out of town, and thus feed themselves. But to stop the “line of vegetable wagons’* and to put the milk carts out of com mission would be to kill the poor peo ple witn hunger. The worker “who sits quietly in the tenements he calls his home and lets his masters and their families starve*’ would starve liimself, and very promptly. On the whole, it sems to us that it would be wiser for the workers of New York to allow Moyer. Haywood and Pettibone to an swer for themselves to the law which they are charged with having violated. At least they should be slow to adopt the wonderful program commended to them by the speaker at the recent meeting. It is a tine tiling to starve the plutocrats. But it is not so fine to Starve yourself and your wife and children. ifcow for the last term of the school year. It will pass even quicker than the others, and almost before we know there will be a bewildering array of fresh, girlish beauty on the gradua tion stage, telling us about the Italy that lies beyond the Alps, and loyally applauding the lone boy of the class as lie steps to the tront ainl settles th problems that vex the nation.

It is a story of a man who, hav ing once felt the spell of the north, is held by its magic through many wearisome years, and finally responds to the tall. How this call of the north inlluonced other lives, too, and the loves of more than one man and woman, are parts of the story. Miss Robins has traveled and lived in Alaska, so she knows the spell of which she writes. James Whitcomb Riley spent his hoyliood in and about Greenfield. Ind.. and in those days there was little about him that indicated future fame. All the people of Greenfield knew the bare foot urchin, and even after his star had risen they were unable to picture him anything but that same luckless lad. Long after he had left Greenfield and his poems had touched the tenderest cords of human affection he met one of the old citizens of Greenfield on the street in Indianapolis. It was their first meeting in years. The old man took Mr. Riley by the hand and gave him an old-fashioned shake. He looked him over carefully, a spark of admiration in his eye. “Say. Jim," the old man said. "I can hardly believe that you are the same Jim that I used to know as a little boy in Greenfield. You didn’t amount to much over there, you know, and no body ever thought you would come to the front the way you have. Here you are now, making money hand over fist. Why, Jim, I hear that you just sit down and write stuff for people to read, and that you get $5 a word for every word you write.” "Yes. that’s true.” said Mr. Riley; “but there is many a day when I can't think of a single word to write.” The Century Company will shortly publish Charles D. Stewart's new book. “Partners of Providence.” some parts of v Inch have already been published in the Century. It is a story of life on the Mississippi and the Missouri steamboats, set dow n. as was “The Fugitive Blacksmith,” in the first per son. Sant tells the story in a racy vernacular that adds til the flavor of the adventures he recounts. By a striking coincidence a book on "Jamaica" was announced by tilt Mac V iiiillan Company on the day when the news was received of the earthquake at Kingston. "It needs but a walk in Kongsington l ark. London, to know Barrie by first knowing his friends. Here has he spent many an hour at play and at story-telling with the littlest of Brit ish ladies and gentlemen. And in this way does it happen that better titan any other modern writer Mr. Barrie knows the Inanner of speech, the walk and the ways of the little dwellers in the land of make believe. A new book of verse has just been brought out by Mr. John Gregorv. the Cobbler Poet of Bristol.” as lie is ailed, because he has lived long in the V,! '1 ily and mended Ute boots of tlie Clifton College boys. Mr. Gregorv was apprenticed to the shoemaking ride when he was a boy, and while •still an apprentice he came under the influence of Edward Capern, the Post master Poet. He practised verse mak ing almost as soon as he could write but he was to before he published his volume "Idyls of Labour." “Song and “Murmurs and Melo dies have followed. He is called a poet of the people, and in tlie new book it is said of him "perhaps his greatest poem is his life.” Th„ new "Life of Isabella Bird.” by Anna M. Stoddard, brings out many interesting details concerning this re markable writer and traveler. All her hfe Miss Bird suffered from a physical malady which was enough to make her a permanent invalid, yet she endured hardships of travel which wcic be yond the power of the strongest men. Often, when incapable of mounting her horse without help, she would ride all day. On one of her journeys six of her followers died of fatigue and many others were in "a desperate condition." Australia, the Sandwich Islands, the Hoeky Mountains, Japan, the island of V-zo. inhabited by the hairy Ainos. primitive people whose confidence she won completely, tlie northern portion India, Tibet and Persia—all were visited by her and many books written concerning them. Having some time ago forsaken San Francisco and America for London. Gertrude Atherton has now forsaken London for Munich, where she is re ported to be bard at work on a new novel. She expects, however, to re turn before long to England, and will make her home there for a while, if she can decide between an apartment in London and a house in some charm ing village like St. Albans. “Tulip Day—A Story of College Life.” a short story in the current issue of the Woman's Home Companion is from the pen of Jennette Lee. When Kugene Field was at the lilght ‘1,s local fame, there lived in Kansas »ty oru George Gaston, whose cafe was t.ie resort of all the “choice spirits** of the town.

C*e\ei literary .mpustors wuo have de Icelved llic world ate numerous. Gamelli Carrieri. a Neapolitan gentleman anil scholar, while confined to hts room for a Ions period of rears by illness, amused i himself by writing an account of can Jtn aginary voyage round the world. Utica the volume was published, it was taken* I as a fact, even by learned people. The detailed .account of a trip to China, 'which is credited to Du Halde. Is another literary hoax. The author had never seen China, and hud been sufficiently clever to compile the .work solely from the memoirs of Cliinese missionaries. It is remarkable, though no less a fact, tliai i "Gulliver's Travels" was thought to b- a true narrative when It first appear' d, and the famous story of Danibcrger\s travels was likewise a hoix. Varillas, the 'Flench historian enjoyed a wid- reputa tion as a chronicler of events, but later it was discovered that his works were purely fak‘-s. Ttie volumes of this writer resemble those of Gregorio tteti. who. in ordi r ito keep himself from starving, ap pend'd the most unlieard-of incidents to English history as it was was known. One of the most daring impostures on record is that of Joseph Vella, of Sicily. He sail that Hie discovered seventeen Ol the lost books of Livy in Arabic.

Be fore ills death, however, lie fell under susp i' ll diui was condemned to impris onin' nt. There are countless cases of g.uthors s. lliiiR their names1 to be put on works they have never read.

The trees thus affected were in each in stance of the lialdwin variety, that being less hardy than other Maine up-' pie trees, and which is said to be un able to stand a temperature greater than 40 degrees below zero. It will be remembered that on two different occasions the cold exceeded that degree, the thermometer on one morning registering 00 degrees below zero at Rroadacres stock farm at Riv erside, and it is believed that the de struction was wrought on these occa sions.
