NO LEAKAGE. Chinese Famine Fund Is Wsil Administered. Every Effort Made To Tide Suf fers Over to Harvest Time. Three Kinds of Relief Tickets Issued By Those In Charge.

Shanghai, April 16.—Investigation shows that the plans of the famine re lief committee are admirable. There has been no leakage of the funds ad ministered by foreigners. A house to house inspection has resulted in 90.000 families, totalling 500,000 famine suf ferers. being enrolled by the commit tee which is attempting to provide food for them until the harvest. Addi tions in ihe lists of families will be made only v. he:: the funds available are issued: First, free fo 1 tickets which are ret issued unless the family has ab solutely no money, food or patvnable anicles and its members are too weak to work. Often the thatch roofs and limbers of houses are sold and fami lies, because th y had a table left have he n refused relief and, utterly dis couraged. ilicy have ‘‘committed sui cide, second, where they are physically able, one member of each destitute family is given work which is pair for i feed: third, the Chinese government is aying to some families one and out—half cents per day. Tickets are giv. n to these families entitling thorn to purchase famine supplies at cost. Food is furnishid to ticket holders at the relief sui -centers at stated times. MR. CHAMBERLAIN V/ORSE.

DICKINSON MURDER TRIAL. (Continued from Page One.) hypothesis than that the respondents are the murderers of Edgar Dickinson. “la the little town of Perham in the northern part of the county in the month of November, 1880. J. Edgar Dickinson, then a young man just reaching his majority, was married to Miss Annie b'iiaw, a slip of a girl 15 or 16 years of age and for years and 11 months Dickinson and iiis wife lived together, first at Perham. then at Pembroke, then in l.owell. Mass., and again at Pembroke, X. II., until in the year 1888, they moved to the town of Smyrna where they continued to reside until ct. 18, 1806. "To them had been born 10 children, tile youngest child born two months after its father’s death. Of these chil dren. six are s.i.l living. The oldest boy, called Perley. is 18 years of age.

June, who was working at Winlhrop. -From tlte year 1888 until the latter part of June. l'JUO. the family resided upon a small farm located on what is known as the (.rant road in Smyrna and distant from the village of Smyrna .Mills two miles, in the latter part of June Mr. Dickinson's buildings were burned and for a month thereafter the family lived in the Leeley house so called. located upon the same road but some nearer the milage. "In July. Mr. Dickinson purchased tiie Joseph Chambers farm on the main lioulton road in Smyrna and distant from Smyrna Mills one and a half miles and here the family was living at the time of Mr. Dickinson's death. "Tiie respondent. John E. Roberts, appeared at the Dickinson farm for the lit si time some eight or ten years ago, representing himself as a farm laborer out of employment and asking work, u hereupon Mr. Dickinson hired hint to work for tile summer. Fpou tin* first appearance of Robeim hot a tiling did ihe family Warn about this man who I.ad so apllv been termed 'tin man of mystery.’ Where he came from. no uiyp knew. Hi* tokl the Dickinson family that he was a Mexican and his name was Jack Huberts ami these two facts ami no more were the family able lo discover during the eight or t«n years that Roberts occasionally iana* to their home asking work. "A quiet. observant man, keen and watchful. Aptly he was called ’the man cl' mystery.’ Nothing unusual was noticed in tin* manner of Roberts towards the Dickinson family until some time last summer. ••The Dickinsons lived on the Drum icad which is one of the back roads in the town of Smyrna, which is little traveled and distant from neighbors save one and isolated also from all neighbors for one and a half miles, Dt:t in the month of July, the family moved to tin* little house on tin* lloul t. »n road and thereupon the condition of affairs became known to the people t Smyrna Mills. •*As surely as the magnet attracts the needle did the Mexican become a source of fatal and irresistible attrac tion to the wife of Kdgar Dickinson. Mow completely this woman went un der tin* Mexican’s sway will show when she left her home in the morning and traveled a distance of live miles for one hour of Jack Roberts’ company. “Vpon Oct. lo, U*06. Jack Roberts I iTormed his last, dry’s work for Kd gar Dickinson and in the morning of Oct. 4. Mr. Dickinson harnessed his horse and took Perley. and Roberts up the road as far as Mr. (.’lark’s house where he walked along and continued afoot through the woods, a distance of about two miles, to a tarred paper camp located upon what is called Duck pond. He and Porley Dickinson hunt ed all day for deer but without success. During the evening Parley Dickinson j started f >r home leaving Roberts ul the camp where he informed Perley he j intended to stop for a few days’ moose j hunting. “The next day. Monday, Oct. 1”». finds Roberts at Island Falls, a distance? of; 17 miles from his camp. Here he had the sight of his rifle fixed for the s.-c ond time since last fall and here he also bu\ a corduroy coat. Tuesday, the 16th.. Roberts evidently returned t*» th** woods for he was seen on that j day in the forenoon near his camp l»y j two men. Wednesday, Oct. 17. again I finds him at Island Falls where for til*.* I third tim a he has the sight of his ritie fixed. The last man whom tile State has thus far been able, to discover, who saw Roberts prior to tlie crime, gave him a rale a part of the way from Is land Falls to Smyrna, where their ways parted as this man was not go-j ing n» the village ot Smyrna .Mills and Roberts alights from his wagon at a point seven miles south of tin* village of Smyrna Mille.

Mrs. Dickinson after a few moments also went to bed and Perley after bringing a lamp from the dining room into the kitchen sat down to read the paper. "And now, gentlemen, just a word as to location. The barn belonging to Mr. Dickinson is directly south of the house distant about lf.O feet and back of the barn about 16U feet is a spring where the Dickinson family and some of the neighbors were in tiie habit of going for their supply of drinking w ater. "After reading the paper for a few moments, Perley happened to glance out of the window, the same window out of which his mother had been look ing earlier in the evening and facing the road and here he saw what he at first took to be a shadow. A second look, however, convinced him that what he saw was the figure of a man standing at a short distant from the kitchen window. This did not, howevei, cause him any uneasiness for he natur ally supposed it was one of the neiglt buis on tiieir way from the spring for water. "Alter some time. Perley went to the barn to take care of the horses for the night and on his return he placed his lantern upon the ground and stopped to split up a small supply of dry wood with which to kindle the morning fire. While there he heard a noise down by the barn w hich sounded as ii some per son had stepped upon a small hoard and upon his foot being raised, tiie board had fallen back on the ground. This also occasioned Perley no un easiness for lie still thought it was some one at the spring for water. Per ley brought his dry wood into tiie house and placed it beside the stove, blew out his lantern and liung it up and went to bed. BUFFETED BY STORM. Schooner William Rice Has Rough Time Off New England Coast. Highland Light, Mass., April lt>.— Leaking steadily, her crew exhausted, life savers at tile pumps and a life heat towing astern, the two-masted schooner William Rice of Thomaston, hound to her home port with coal from South Amboy, worked into the bay at dark tonight after being buffeted for three days off the cape and on Xan tucket north shoals. It was believed tonight that she would be able to reach Province-town harbor at an early hour tomorrow. The little schooner loaded up with soft coal at South Amboy nearly two weeks ago, and after dodging into all the little ports on the bay east from New fork ventured out round Cape Cod last Saturday. She slowly ran down the cape shore until Sunday when as Capt. Mahoney was about to head her across the Gulf of Maine for the Muscongus. it was found that there was three or four feet of water in her hold. A'though the weather ,v.as clear at the time the barometer was low and rather than risk being caught wide off shore in an off shore gale. Capt. Ma honey wore around and started back lor shelter under Chatham. The crew manned the pumps immediately and from that time they worked constantly, the seamen being able to control the coming water. The Rice ran back into pollock Kip slue where she met a head wind and was compelled to anchor. Two days of hard pumping complete ly exhausted the crew and this morn ing a distress signal in the main rig ging brought tlie Monontoy Point life savers on board. •Just Iiefore the life savers clambered over the rail the steamer Herman Winter ran alongside, but Capt. Ma honey put on a hopeful face and guess ed lie would lie able to keep her afloat, so tie- Y\ inter kept on to Hoston. Capt. Kelley of the life saving crew at once sent four of his men to the pumps and with the others weighed anchor and started down the cape again in the direction of Provinceton. Oft Orleans this noon the pumps were still going vigorously, and at Pamet river, the life savers could be seen hard at work. Tlie vessel had a favorable wind until she reached ltace Point, from which point it v as an eight-mile beat in Provinceton. It is believed that the vessel will be I leached oil reaching a h.n bor.

April lt>.—There is a certain fascination about seeing high pow ered motor ears in action, and it can not be denied that the element of dan ger is one of tiie attractions which draw great crowds of people to witness events like the Vanderbilt cup race. For the latter event this year there will lie absolutely no danger to the specta tors. as tiie entire course will lie fenced in. so that it will he absolutely im possible for foolhardy spectators to i usli out on to the road and endanger their own lives as well as those of the drivers of tlio racing machines. The public sentiment in favor of see ing stock ears go a route of all or 100 miles is likely to be gratified at itead v ilie track tliis? spring. The course at Ueadviile with a mile track is not suitable for sensational sprint races at extreme speed on account of the turns. In a distance event such as it is pro posed to hold next month, the condi tions at Readville are more favorable. Th" track is well protected with fenc ing all the way round, and there would bo no occasion for reckless speeding, as pace and judgment on tiie part of the drivers and endurance in the cars would be the real factors in determin ing the winner. Local motorists are very enthusiastic over the prospect of a 5ti or a 100 mile race, and there is ab solutely no doubt that such an event would command a superb list of en tries. President Lewis It. P pea re of the Bay Ktute Automobile Association is heart ily in favor of such a race and ne gotiations are already under way toward securing the Readville track for a big race meeting. The members of the club are very enthusisastie over the prospect of a distance race on Me morial day or earlier, and the club lias among its membership a number of gentlemen who are eminently qualified to act as officials in conducting a meet ing of this nature. The last automo bile race meeting held at Readville was a big financial success and thera is every reason to believe that the proposed meeting would meet with popular approval. The racing committee of the Bay State Automobile Association, com prising L. R. Speare, Charles Fay and F. A. Hinchcliffe, is eminently quali fied to handle an event of this nature.

Me., April 10.—N,» match that could be placed before the public for their entertainment could give more promise of clean, clever boxing sport than the meeting between Tommy Sul livan of Lawrence and Billy Rhodes of Kansas which will take place at the Auditorium Friday night. Both of these men are known throughout the United States as two of the most prominent boxers in their class. Rhodes has come from the West with a big reputation, knocking out Cy Flynn of Buffalo. Dick Fitz patrick of Chicago and making a draw with Joe Walcott after HO rounds of the hardest kind of slugging. Only a few weeks ago he traveled to Iowa, where he met Bill Pappe and fought him a draw. The latter is said to be the coming iniddeweight cham pion of America, and has won IS straight lights, net one of which went over six rounds. Of course it is almost superfluous to talk about Tommy Sullivan. He is a native of Maine, and has a large following all through the State who believes that he will reach the top of the pugilistic ladder if given an op portunity. He lias never been given the chance that his ability warranted. For some reason or other less capable men have been shoved to the front, and yet Sullivan proved when he met Honey Mellody at Lawrence two years ago that lie was master of the situation. In size both men are equal. Sulli van lias the advantage in cleverness and Rhodes in experience. Both are equally game, aggressive and fearless. To see men of this calibre shape up is a picture worth the price of admis sion itself. Rhodes is dark and the tyoical scrapper. He reminds one of the men who used to box 20 years ago, currying the marks of his pro fession. Sullivan on the other hand, is without a blemish from boxing. His speedy footwork and his excellent guard have saved him from being marked up, and he looks more like a college graduate than a st$r boxer. Although the show is on a holiday right aivl the card is the best seen in Maine in some time, yet the popular prices will attract a great many lovers of boxing. Several good bouts will precede the main attraction. The rivalry between Willett and t'ote of Biddeford will be settled, and two other good bouts will keep the crowd in good humor. BOXING NOTES. Frank Selee. the Pueblo promoter, is trying to match Freddie Weeks and Jimmy Walsh for a bout between May 10 to JO. Rouse O’Brien and his manager, Johnny Shealey, will leave Boston Thursday for Philadelphia, where O'Brien has been promised bouts with several good boxers. It is officially announced that the in surance on the McGill medical build ing at Montreal which was burned early Tuesday, was $2fi(),000 on the building and $100,000 on the contents. GENERAL SPORT, Course For Boston Mara thon Race Is Changed. Billings Will Sell His Racers, Including Major Delmar. Wright Confident Americans Will Lift Davis Tennis Cup. Boston. April It!.—Old contestants and followers of tile great Marathon races, held annually on Patriots’ day by the Boston Athletic Association, will he surprised to learn that there will be a change made in the course for the -ii-niile race of next Friday. But it is only a slight change, and believed to be one for the better, and while tlie old familiar bridge at Ash land, where so many noted runners have lined up in the past, will be miss ed, it is believed that all the contes tants will be more than satisfied witii the new route. This year the start will be at Btcv ens* corner on the Hopkinton road, which is the same distance from the Ashland station as the railroad bridge. From Stevens’ corner the road leads straight into Ashland, and instead of tile hotel, where the Boston Atliletio Association quarters are yearly estab lished. being passed on the right it will now be passed on the left. This change was made yesterday by George Billings, chairman of the ath letic committee of file Boston Athletic Association. Charles H. Garter of the committee, and (merge V. Brown, man ager of the run, who went over the course in an automobile to make final arrangements for tbs race. They found that the old railroad bridge, used in the past as a starting place, was being repaired, and that the contestants could not possibly be lin ed up on it. Then the new course was picked out. It is believed to be a good move by the committee, as there is a much wider road at the start, and there will be no railroad track to cross at Ashland. in several of the races contestants have been delayed here by freight trains and have made more than one complaint to the management. The entry list lias now reached the total of 1--. and there are still a few more to be heard from. Those receiv ed yesterday were from Paul O’Oonnor of Dorchester. Albert Hayden of Yon kers. X. Y„ John A. Doyle of Barn stable and W. F. Slattery of the New ton High school. Charles Fetch of tile Toronto North End Athletic Club, another noted Canadian runner, arrived in this city yesterday for the race. He lias joined Bennett and I.i* Barre, the two Cana dians already here, in their training. Tom Longboat, the Indian runner who will be the most conspicuous ligure in the race, is not expected until tomor row. BILLINGS TO SELL OUT.

Bugle 212'i, Fanny Foley 2.1 put the ball tossers on tt regular diet, in an interview re cently lie gave out the following inter esting facts: "One of the hardest les sons a ball player lias to learn; one. indeed, that many players never learn, is that every pound of flesh that they carry over their proper weight is .iust so much of a handicap to them. You often see a pitcher beaten to a base by the ball by a fraction of a second, by half a step, perhaps. This hap pens again and again. Investigate and you will generally find that he is five, six or perhaps ten pounds overweight. Take George Mullin of the Detroit team, for an example. He can carry 190 pounds and play grand ball. But he can’t carry 195 pounds and do him self justice. George knows this and so he is taking just the amount of exercise necessary lo keep him from taking on the flesh that w ill slow him up. It isn’t always a knowledge of what to do. and it isn’t exactly being out of condition—so far as taking ordi nary good care of one’s self is con cerned—that keeps a player from be ing a success. The real reason is a lack oi Kno'Yituge as to the avoirdu pois at which lie is at his best ami the determination to maintain that weight at any cost to his own com mit. Go bade to Ned Hanlon's days in Baltimore. Ned knew to an ounce just how much each man on his team ought to weigh to be at his best, and he saw to it that we did not get be yond those figures. It meant lots of hard -work for us sometimes; exercise when we were all tired 1 'llt and want ed to rest. but it paid. Han lon's old pitchers wore a big factor in helping him win the pennant three years in succession, because they could tun tne bases. They knew the weight at which they were at their best and maintained it. This knowledge and this weight meant to them many a time that small fraction of a second, that extra step, that enabled them to reach first in safety when a pitcher who gave no heed to this phase of his condition would have been retired. It is a great thing for a ball player to find out the weight at which lie can go bis best races and then stick to it. how ever much extra work it involves. I am able to recall one hall player who showed gratitude after he had made his mark, toward the man who helped him up. That one is Jimmie Hughes, the old Baltimore and Brooklyn pitcher. I first met Jimmie on the coast while °n a baseball tour during the winter of 1898. He pitched against us and beat us, 4 to 3, in a fine exhibition of twirling. He made a hit with me and I made it a point to see him that eve ning. He informed me that he had de cided to come East and enter the Na tional League the next spring, but said that lie expected to make his dehut with Pittsburg or New York. I told him that I would get him more money with Baltimore and he could have a champion club behind him. too. Han lon authorized me to bid $1,800 and I landed him. He made good with a rush, winning his first two games without allowing his opponents a hit in cither of them and continuing at a terrific clip through the whole year. The next spring, I believe it was, Hughes called me aside and in a few stammering word's, told rne that lie owed me a great debt of gratitude for starting him right. He pressed a package on me as a token of his esteem and I accepted it as perforce. What I found inside has been with me on my vvatchchain ever since. It is a handsome fob, solid gold and set with a diamond. On the back it bears the simple inscription, ‘Pre sented to Hugh Jennings by Jis. Hughes, 1898.’ Soldier Burns of Baltimore Monday night knocked out Jack Bennett in the fourth round at the Spring Garden A. C. at Philadelphia. Burns permitted Bennett to do all the work for three ^^nds and prevented Jack from doing any execution by covering up. In the fourth round Burns cut loose. He made a play for Bennett’s body and soon sent Jack down for the count with a right swing on the solar plexus. BOXING, Mike Shreck Knocks Out John Wills at Tonopah. James Mclnniss Disposes of George Phelan at Portland. Tommy Feitz and Hugh McGovern Break Even at Wilkesbarre. Tottopah, X«'V„ April 16.—"Alike" E'chreck last night knocked out John Witle in the 19th round of what was sclieduied for a 20-round go. The fight was hard and fast from the first round hut at no time did Sell reek seem to lie in danger. He was cool and aggres sive from the start. Wille displayed remarkable gameness and came back strong but was unable to land forcibly on Sclireek. Wille made frequent rushes but was always stopped by Schreek who fought aggressively, yet took few chances, in the 19th Wide was knocked down and out under a rain of hammer-like blows. Sclireek finished strong. MclNNISS PUTS PHELAN OUT. Bangor Boxer Whips Portland Man In City Hall At Rockland, Me. Old Town, Me., April IS.—James Jleln niss of Bangor knocked out George Phe lan of Portland in the third -round of rwhat was to have been a 6-round hout be fore a big crowd tin City- had Monday night.

Tommy Feitz and Hugh McGovern Breaks Even At Wilksbarre, Pa. Wilkesbarre. Pa.. April 1G.—Tommy Feitz of Philadelphia and Hugh Mc Govern of Brooklyn fought six fast rounds before the Peerless A.

Feitz went down in the flrsl round from a strong punch in the chin, but he got even the next round by giving McGovern a hard jab on the side of the face, w hich brought the blood and dis concerted the Brooklyn fighter for the time being. The four succeeding-rounds were hot ly contested, and at the close of the sixth the referee said he could not say which was the best man. In the opinion of many, however, Feitz had the shade the best of it. BOXING AT LEWISTON. Kid Dufresne Will Meet Young Mc Donald of Boston Monday Night. Lewiston, Me.. April lb.—Allie Brown if this city was in Biddeford Monday making arrangements for the fistic event to be pulled off in City hall on the evening of next Monday. He reports that these have all been completed and the affair will be the best thing of its kind ever seen on that stage. There will be three preliminary bout-'. The first will be between Young Cote of Biddeford and Young De Rose of this city. The former is well known, while the latter boy is pining for fistic fame, lie will get it all right with Cote. Then will come a struggle of strength and skill between Billy Pusey of Au burn and Young Willett of Biddeford. Pusey is a staunch and cat-like lighter, while his opponent is an unknown ijuantity. His friends say that the Au burn lad has a surprise in waiting for him. Then will come tile third prelimi nary and this time it will be Fighting Eddie JIarrigan of Portland and Young IjOdoux of Biddeford. Harrigan was the man whipped by Dufresne in this city a few weeks ago. He is a game fighter and the two men are said to be e«iual ly matched. They will weigh in at 115 pounds each. The main bout w ill come between Kid Dufresne of Lewiston and Montreal and Y'oung McDonald of Boston. Both these men are stars and the fight will be hot and fierce. Steve Mahaney is behind McDonald and will be here with his man. This event is certain to at tract an audience even larger than the last one held in the same place. All these bouts will be for six rounds un der the new law. PROFESSIONALS BARRED. Only Amateur Bouts of Fifteen Min utes to Be Allowed In New ork Albany, N.

And if not, ho%v can you face the world with clean thoughts, clear intelligence. a (air, jult, bright mind ar.d get your full share of capacity for work and enjoyment? i Neglect of exercise, rich oyer-feeding and carelessness about stools, often leave the delicate interna! mechanism in a nasty mess. The small intestine is compelled to ab sorb the poison of decaying matter instead of wholesome nourishment. The liver gets inactive: the bile doesn’t '■work off”: the eyes get yellow; the skin gets dead like putty and pale like dough, disfigured with boils, pimples, blackheads and liver-spots.

There’s only one solution to the prob- lem: Keep clean inside ah the time. That’s the answer. If you can not diet, or keep your mech anism going by proper exercise, take Cas carets, the sv/eet, fragrant, harmless ldtle vegetable tablets, that ‘‘act like exercise” on your bowels, and gently but powerfully clean cut and disinfect the whole digestiv# canal. A Cascaret every night before going to bed will “work while you sleep” and make you “feel fine in the morning.'’ If you have been neglecting yourself for some time, take a Cascaret night and morn ing and break up the ‘‘constipated habit” without acquiring a “cathartic habit.” Cascarets are sold by all druggists. lCc, 25c and 50c.

New York, April 16.—The striking feat ure nf the stock market today was the extreme dullness into which It' fa 1. The downward tendency of the last few days was checked and some recovery ensued. The consequence, however, was a condi tion bordering on stagnation. The de mand which pat up prices was attributed largely to account for the bear operators who have been active recently. That their buying received very small acces sion from outside sources is sulficiently attested by the .small figures of the ag gregate sales for the day. A large pro portion of the meagre total was done in the last hour .when the rush to cover by the shorts gained considerable amima" tion, making a buoyant closing. There was slight reflection of an outside event in the movement of phicts. The copper stocks had the advantage of n sharp re bound from recent depression by copper metal in the London market. The Harrimans, the Hills and Reading made up the overwhelming preponder ance ot the dealings. United States Steel also was dealt in the customary propor tion to i:ts huge share bttlk. The reaction late lit the day gave the usual indication of u highly professional market. Money on call continued easy, in spite of some further large syndicate transactions, in cluding a $30,000,CO) payment of American Telephone convertible bonds yesterday and a $'.000,000 payment of General Elec tric new stock today. The weekly crop bulletin of the weath er bureau confirmed some of the reports of unfavorable conditions which were a factor in depressing stacks yesterday, but it was without effect on the firmer tone of today’s market. Much of the day's gains were made, in the volatile upshnot of prices with which the market closed. Bonds were irregular. Total .sales, par value, $1,012,000. United Sui!' bonds were unchanged on call. N«w York Money Market. Now York, April 16. Prime mercantile paper 6 per c.43 for demand and at 4S2. lVu 1X3.70 f u tio-dav bills.

Ward of Plymouth recently purchased a fire span of matched black horses, full sisters, four and five years old. They were raised by a Russian in the Russian settlement near Rebec lake. He also purchased of Foxcrnft parties a very desirable mare which weighs j.lbO pounds, at a long price. Ornament (lO.fiOT), the great Clydes dale stallion by Baron's Pride, ('.*,122), dam by MacGregor (1.4S7), by the celebrated Darnlc.v (222). was leeently found dead in his stall. He was owned by Jesse D. Kenncson of Lime stone. who purchased him some six weeks ago from Hopkins Brothers of Fort Fairfield. The horse appeared ali right at 9 o'clock Monday evening. His body was dissected, and his death was found to have been due, probably, to colic. His age was 13 years. Hop kins Brothers bought Ornament from Neil MePhail of Sonya, Ontario, who had imported him front Scotland, pay ing ?l.r.»0 for him. The past winter season on the Mt. Hope avenue track at Bangor was a most successful one and the races which were held more than exceeded ihe fondest expectations of their pro moters. Similar events are to he held on the course during the summer and as they are to be well advertised there should be some pretty warm argu ments among the fast ones of this vi cinity. The speedway is to be put in condition for the summer at the earliest moment, but the present time the frost is hardly out of the ground and until it is and the ground has had a chance to dry up some, no grading rt be done.

The commander of the gunboat Marietta, which Is now patrolling the waters in the neighborhood of the quarreling Central American states, has just issued orders that there is to be no bombardment of the shore towns. It was a sensible move in which he will doubtless be upheld by this government and for which foreign powers will thank him. Things have not yet gone so far in this so-called war in Central America as to demand any real interference by this govern ment, but since we forbid the interfer ence of foreign nations it is plainly apparent that no American war ves sel sent to protect American interests can remain quiet when the interests of other foreigners are jeopardized. A large majority of business establish ments in these coast cities of Central i nru r.m n.-» hum a bombardment would work fur great er iniury upon them lluiu upon Un people against whom the tiro was di rected. Those Central Amerienn fleets tire not very formidable. to be sure, l ui they would nt least In* able to set (Ire to wooden cities and destm.s niiteh property. The eommander of the Marietta may have acted without order®, as is stated, but he has taken a forward step and should be supported by the government at Washington. If it is generally understood that the property and lives of foreigners in those coast towns are reasonably safe, however freciuont the wars down that •nay, those towns will become much nv*re important in a business way and American interests will be especially promoted. The Discredited Delmas. Here is a California estimate of At torney Delmas' oratorical ability— front the Los Angeles Times: “f*weet is his voice as the song of the mocking bird in nesting time. When lie speaks they that listen, away yonder by the sunrise ocean, shall think on sunlii skies and poppy fields aflame, and they shall hear the sigh of sea winds whispering on Aeolian strings through the (fates of (fold.” That may be the way that the Delmas style of oratory affects them out ori the Pacitie slope but somehow the 1- New York jurymen refused lo be hypnotized by his eloquence. The Knglisli characterization of his closing argument as "flapdoodle" seems to be not an unfair one. After starting off with the announcement that he would not base his argument upon the "un written law" he proceeded for a good part of two days to base his argument upon what he called "dementia Ameri cana" which was, of course, only the “unwritten law" under a new name. The p-ople everywhere, in New York as well as in the South and in Cali fornia, sympathize with the man who kills another when the latter has wronged his sister, daughter or wife, hut there is no unwritten law in the (ivilized world that a man may de liberately marry a notorious woman and then go around and kill the men with whom she kept company several years before he married her. Mr. Delmas most emphatically failed to make good when he based his defensi of Thaw upon any such tommyro* as that and llw members of tile jury who have talked at ait agree that they wholly disregarded this business and considered only th.e sanity of I haw nJ the time of the murder, a matter t which Delmas paid but scant attention in his plea. In many respects the Thaw trial was a disgraceful fiasco, hut it is always to be remembered to New York's credit that it refused to adopt the mining camp code of law •which the much heralded orator of the Pacific slope brought eastward with him. Canada may well mourn the loss of William Henry Drummond. His only title to fame was a little book of verse, but la1 had more friends throughout the world than there were' snowflakes falling outside the church in Montreal within which the great men of the Do minion were gathered at his funeral service. He made the patois of the Habitant familiar throughout the ■world and although he was a man of great learning and rich poetic genius he will he longest remembered by that immortal ballad with the lines. “Do w in’ she blow lak' hurricane. Bimeby she blow some more." Just wait until the "heart interest” writers get hold of that Iloulton mur der trial. They will not have any great trouble in making as much out of it as they did out of the Cooper trial and the Thaw case. The Names of Towns. Ambassador Bryce probably under stands America and the Americans better than many men who have come to us from abroad but he finds a ground for complaint in the duplica tion of the names of *>ur cities and towns. He was up in Canada the other day and sent a dispatch from Montreal to London. Hater he learned that It had heen delivered at London. Ontario, instead of at London, Eng land, as "he intended it should be, and the annoying mistake seems to have ruffed his usually serene temper a great deal. With the incident as a text he manes a plea for the revision of our American system of naming towns, being specially grieved, he de clares, to find that there is more than one Washington in this country, as well as more than one London in the v orld. Ambassador Bryce is not the first man to get into trouble through mis takes of this kind and probably tie will not tic the last. He should re member that this is a large country and that it takes lots of names to go around. Of course, in most instances it is not an accident, but the result of deliberate selection, that many small and less known places hear the names of older and more famous centers. Then, too, many towns and cities arc named for distinguished individuals and even priority of selection can hardlv give any particular place the exclusive right to this class of names. Thus, the town of Washington in our own state was of course named for the Father of IIih Country, and it would have been a hardship if all thr scores of towns in the country so named were forced to change their names just be cause the national capital was Riven the same designation. The reasons for the selection of most of the names of our towns and cities are plain enough but some are very difficult to explain. Thus, opinions have widely differed as to whv the name of Augusta was selected for out own city in 171*7. In a lecture at Bath the other evening on the Knglish city of Bath which he recently visited. Senator Sewall advanced the opinion that our Maine city of'Bath was not named for the Knglish city as has been commonly supposed, but for the name of a hymn tune which in turn had been named for the Knglish city. The town of (‘hesterville was similarly named by the sturdy hymn-singing pioneers. A study of the names of our Maine cities and towns is a very interesting matter and reveals a lot of curious things. The early settlers allowed the splendid body of Indian nomenclature to run to waste, or at least they gave the Indian names almost exclusively to mountains, rivers and lakes, and gave their towns the names of in dividuals or famous places beyond the seas, with occasionally ti town named tor a Massachusetts place from which they had emigrated. A fetv towns wee named with reference to their natural surroundings. Ambassador Bryce would surely find cause for ermptnint in tie* matter of duplication of names should he come to Maine. That is. we have no two towns of the same name within our holders, but almost all the great cities of Kttropo except London itself, are located hen*. If he should visit this section sind attempt to send a message to I’aris, or to Borne, Vienna. Madrid, Stockholm, Belgrade, Lisbon, Kdin burg or Athens, he would have to specify whether he meant the Kuro pejm capital or the Maine town. In fsl'-t, nearly all the capitals of Kuropo are located within our borders except those of Kngland. Russia anil (Jer ntany—and Berlin is just over the line in New Hampshire, while Maine has Moscow tin* ancient capital of Russia. Not only have we a large supply of Kttropean capitals, but even some of the countries themselves, as Sweden, Denmark. Norway and Poland. It is to be regretted that no more of our old Indian names have been perpetu ated in our Maine cities and towns. Kven the few which hear such names are often made on this account, the butt of jokes by the pert ptiragrapliers in the city newspapers, as witness I he fate of Meddybemps, Skotvhegan, Car ratut.k and Mattawamkeag. It seems too bad that the Peace Con gress now in session in New 1 ork could not have President Roosevelt ns the presiding olficer. His part in bringing the Russo-Japanese war to a close and bis position as recipient of the Nobel p**ace prize make him the most prominent and powerful friend of universal peace now living. His presence as presiding officer would have added immeasurably lo the gath ering.

Several houseboats in thi foot post, and flitt roof, covered with tar and gravel. The ereetion of this building com menced Feb. 1st, and has been rapidly pushed. About 171,000 feet of lumber was- used in construction, making a rattier imposing structure on the ex treme end of Pier No. 2. it is so constructed that ears may he run into building and unloaded either for stor age or direct to vessel by an arrange ment not unlike a carrier platform. It is estimated that there is floor space enough for fir, cars of paper to be stored. There are a number of doors on tlie east side, so that ears can also he unloaded, thus making it possible to use either side or the center for this purpose. Light is admitted through 12 monitors built on the roof, containing four windows in each. A uni'iue chapter in the history of the mer'-hant marine was completed this week on the arrival in Portland of the steamer Hector with a big con signment of sulphur for the Union Su'rhur Company and having in tow the big five-master, Bath-built schoon er Harwood Palmer also loaded with sulphur. The steamer towed the schooner from New Orleans, the pas sage being a rough one and consuming fifteen days. This is the first time that a steamer lies attempted to tow a schooner from New Orleans to any Northern port. This is tlie largest consignment of sulphur or brimstone, as it is also called, that has ever been brought to Portland, in all there being over T.ofio tons. While ramping at Togue pond some ten miles from Mt. Katahdin, Misses Jane Given and Carrie Crocker, of Mii linocket. recently accomplished the difficult feat of ascending Katahdin over the winter snows. Starting from camp at Togue pond with a guide, they made a distance of eight miles on snow'shoes and snent the night at Birch camp on Hum mountain about two and one-half miles from the foot of the slide. Rirch camp is a tiny structure 8 by 10 on the ground and just high enough to permit one to stand erect when under the ridgepole. It is built of birch logs and has a roof t of birch bark. The doorway is sn Final! that one lias to bend nearly double in order to enter. leaving their guide at the camp the next mnrnj ing the two young women ascended the mountain bv what is known as the east slide, and found themselves on a tableland a few feet in width. Farther oil was a peak somewhat higher, but separated from the tableland on which ilay stood by Poniola gulch, which I la ir guide had assured them was im passable in winter. After ascending nearly to the edge of the glitch and taking a few pictures, warned by the approaching heavy clouds, the young women stalled down the mountain on the other side of the slide. The des cent was tapid but spasmodic. They were compelled to slide from tree to tree ami though the distance sliti was usually not more than six feet, they usually brought up against the tree with much force. They reached the camp at the foot of the mountain con siderably the worse for their rough ex perience, but made their way over the eight miles tili.t separated them from Togue pond that afternoon. The Maine State Conference of the Congregtaional Churches of Maine, will met with the Williston church, Port land, Maine. May 7, 8 and The churches of Portland offer hospitality of lodging and breakfast to the pastor and wife, with one delegate from each church, persons to furnish their own dinners and suppers wherever they choose. The ladies of Williston church will furnish dinners at their parish house for 35 cents and suppers for ll.'i cents. Those who choose, can entertain themselves at various hotels and hoarding houses.

CUMBERLAND COURT. Sait Between Elijah Galusha, Bruns wick, and Jos. Galusha, Richmond. Superior court. Portland. Judge Tur ner. Monday: A suit between uncle and nephew to recover the sum of $2000 was heard by the jury. Elijah Galusha of Brunswick is the plaintiff and Joseph Galusha of Richmond the defendant. Klij: it is an old man 74 years old and is uname to be in court. His testimony was given through a deposition. He toys that in October. 100.7. lie had $2000 in lie- Rath Savings Rank: that there were certain women who were annoying liitn. he being a widow er, and he had an idea that they were after Ids money. As a protection to himself he assigned his bank hook over to Joseph with the express understand ing. as lie claims, that Joseph was to hold it for safe keeping. At this time he went to live with Joseph, but after slaying two weeks became dissatisfied and left and went and stayed with some of his other relatives. Finally in 1000 he fell sick and wanted some of his money and called upon Joseph to return it, hut Joseph then claimed that Klij ah had given him the money out right. Elijah then sent to the bank and found that the money had all been withdrawn. Joseph claims in defence that it was expressly understood at the time that Elijah gave the money to him. he having stayed with him fre quently and desiring to give his money away during his lifetime. It is claimed that Elijah liked Joseph better than any of the other relatives and for this reason wanted him to have the money. In return Joseph signed an agreement \vhcr?by he bound himself to take care of Elijah and furnish him with food, clothing and nursing if he was sick: and that if he failed to do this he would return the money. C. T. Sawyer appears for the plain tiff and C. D. Newell for the defend ant.

ELVA BARBER EDWARDS There are three critical stages in a woman's life which leave their marie in her career. The first of these stages is womanhood, or the change from a care free girl to budding womanhood. The second is motherhood, and the third is Change of Life. Perils surround each of these stages, and most of the misery that coines to women through ill health dates from one or another of these im portant crises. V omen should remember that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs has carried thousands of young girls over the critical period of puberty, has prepared mothers for childbirth, and in later years carried them safely through the change of life more suc cessfully than any other remedy in the world. Thousands of testimonials from grateful persons, two of which are here published, substantiate this fact beyond contradiction. Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn, 111. writes t Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “I feel it my duty to tell you of the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done me in preparing for childbirth. After suffering and losing my children a friend advised me to try your valuable me dicine, and the result was that 1 had very little inconvenience, a quick recovery and I i MRS. GEORGE WALTERS ns healthy a child as can be found anywhere. Lydia E. Pinkhara’s Vegetable Compound is a blessing to all expectant mothers.” Mrs, Elva Ilarber Edwards, of Cathlamet, Wash., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “I want to tell you how Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound' carried me through the critical period of the Change of Life without auy trouble whatever, also cured mo of a very severo female weakness, I cannot say enough in praise of what your medicine has done for me.” What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Walters and Mrs. Edwards it will do for other wo men in their condition. Every suf fering woman in the United States is asked to accept the following in vitation. It is free, will bring you health and may save your life, Mrs. Pinkham’s Invitation to Women. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. From the symptoms given, the trouble may be located and the quickest and surest way of recovery advised. Out of her vast volume of experience in treating female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably has the very knowledge that will help your case. Her advice is free and helpful. During its long record of more than thirty years its long list of actual cures, entitles Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to the respect and confidence of every fair minded person. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Makes Sick Women Well. Rev. M. H. Tarbox of Lewiston. In the death of Rev. M. II. Tarbox of 8,0 College street. I.ewiston loses one of the noblest and best of its old time residents, a man who figured strongly in the earlier religious life of tlie city. Old age and failing health had long removed him from the activi ties of Ins profession, and compelled him to live a very quiet and retired life; but our older residents will re member l.im with great respect and affection. lie died Sunday evening, aged 82 years. Mr. Tarbox was a native of Konne bunk. Me., a graduate of Colby College, class of lS4:t and of the Bangor Theo logical SVminary. His active profes sional life covn i.sts were arrested at St. Petersburg Tuesday, among them seven women. The majority of those who were taken into custody are recent arrivals in St. Petersburg, but one of them has been identified as an accomplice of the Ter rorists. who made an attempt on the life of Premier Stolypin Aug. 25 last. The police attach the greatest import erne *o the captures, which are regard ed as nipping in the bud plans for a pew series, of assassinations. All the. prisoners have been confined in the for tress. On July 19 last a man supposed to b& Ramey Marshall of Rowell, Mass., fell from the Bangor Brooksville steam boat wharf at the foot of I'nion street and was drowned. Articles found in the pockets seemed to establish th» man’s identity as that of Barney Marshall. Now the report comes from Lowell that Bar ney Marshall is there alive anu well. The body of the man rwho was drowned was never clai med by relatives, though the addresses found in the man's pockets were communicated with. If Barney Marshall is in Lowell now, who was it who was drowned heire on July 19 nhd burled under Barney Marshall’s name7— Bangor Commercial.

Commissioner Bing was at the laud office yesterday on his weekly visit to the department, having returned from a trip during which he met the lum bermen from the different sections where operations are conducted. In speaking of the coming drive of logs from the head waters down the differ ent rivers he expressed the opinion that the driving this spring would he backward, as the brooks and streams are low, but that later conditions would be favorable for a good drive. The snow- in tne woods is wasting very slowly which accounts for the low stage of the water for this season of the year, and there is as much snow in the woods as there has been at any time during the past winter. If the heavy rains hold off for two weeks longer the conditions for driving ought to be sood. Regarding the cut of. lumber-Mr. King said that w hile the l cut on the Penobscot had been some-, Sarsaparilla To purify, vitalize ami enrirli your blood, create an appetite and give you sticnctli Liquid or table's. 100 Dose* One Dollar. what smaller Uiau usual the cuts on the Kennebec and Androscoggin had other cjmniissioned positions in the both been good. The backwardness of the season had enabled the operators to get their lops to the land nips, al though owing to the extremely cold weal he i and deep snow it has been a hard winter for the lumbermen.

Til" receipts of wool for this week were (1.121 bales domestic and 10.53$ bales for e'gn against S.Ott-l bales domestic und 10.047 bales foreign for the same time last year. REMARKS—The local wool market has been even quieter the past Week than it was last week. Australiasian wools are still selling, but net ns freely as they have sold recent'y. and the movement of domestic clips has been decidedly mode rate. liome wools as a class are not as firm na they have been and real ‘weak ness 1s apparent in some kinds. rue worst»d grades are well denned up and the lower quotations merely represent .in adjustment in keeping wiih the interior qup.litv of the stock that i? now avail able. ‘it is in the short-stapled, or c.ajh ir.g wools, that the weakness is real. The heavy-weight sw?nn in *woown li'hrics lias not been one of the most success fill, and the re-ult is that there is a largo supply of the raw matoTal used m mak ing such goods. As the time for 'toe new dip ani'foaches dealers wapt to reduce their holdings, and consequently most kinds of pulled wools, clothing territo ries. Texas and California clips are to be bought on decidedly more advantageous twtrss than they could be a month or so Ohio and Penn.

Kvcn in tile present era of pros perity aiul good times everything ap pears hlurk to those people who are suffering wretchedly from some form of indigestion. Where digestion is quick, complete and easy there is a joyous and hopeful outlook, hut indi gestion causes depression. The want of a safe, effective cure for sick headache, indigestion and stomach troubles, was always felt until the prescription known as .Mi-o-nii stomach tablets was put up in popular form and proved its in variable success in the many forms of indigestion. After a few days use of Mi-o-na stomach tablets the headache, dizzy feeling, drowsiness, bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue, nervousness, sleeplessness, distress after eating—all these symptoms of a weak stomach— will disappear and perfect digestion and a good skin will show that the vital machinery is once more running smoothly. Mi-o-na is to be taken before each meal and it will stimulate the secre tive and digestive juices and strength en the whole of the digestive system so that the unpleasant full feeling will be absent and indigestion prevented. Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold only in a neat metal box convenient for the vestpocket and cost 50 cents. Bowditch, Webster Co., have seen so many cures made by Mi-o-na stomach tablets that they give a guarantee with every box that the money will be refunded if the remedy fails to give I satisfaction. strenuous thinking, worry, irregu lar meals, late hours overtax strength and impair health. When you feel that you are losing your grip on things, the strain is be ginning to tell and you have need for BEECHAM’S PILLS to restore health and strength to the overworked body and brain. The stomach relishes its food, the mind regains its poise, liver and bowels act properly, the sleep is refreshing after a few doses of this half-century old remedy.

Publicity Law Organization Wants Them Given Out to the Public. New York. April 16.—A resolution intended to secure the publication of the contributions made to the Repub lican and Democratic committees at the last national canvass which was offered today at a special meeting of the National Publicity Law Organiza tion. was a feature of the gathering. It was entirely unexpected, and caused the members to engage in a lively dis cussion. The meeting had been called by Perry Belmont, the president of the organization to further the movement for an effective national publicity law, which would require a public record of campaign contributions and expen ditures. The resolution, which was offered j by Alexander Troup, of Connecticut, a member of the Democratic National Committee, requested the chairman and treasurer of the two great parties who served in the last national campaign to make public a comprehensive statement as to how the campaign funds were raised. The attitude of President Roosevelt on campaign contributions was brought into the discussion by Mr. Troup's in sistence that the President should fav or throwing open the books of the last campaign as well as those of the com ing national eontest. Mr. Troup's attempt to secure im mediate action on his resolution failed and tile memorial was referred to the executive committee which will report later to the organization. William J. Bryan. the principal speaker at today's meeting, urged the passage of a law by Congress provid ing for a public declaration both by the donor and the receiver of all cam paign offerings. He wanted all viola tions of this law punishable as criminal offenses. By tliis means alone, he held, could the secret contributions, given for a sinister purpose be stamped out and a great hindrance to honest poli ties be overthrown. Other speakers were Samuel Clampers, the president of the American Federation of Labor: Gov. Edwin Warfield, of Maryland: Fortner Senator William E. Chandler, of New Hampshire and Herman A. Metz, comptroller of the city of New York. Plans were formed for renew ing ef forts at the next Congress for a pub licity law of national scope. William J. Bryan was introduced as a man who had given powerful aid t declared, re.-ts upon the principle declared that there could be no honest politics when any interest could pur chase before election a promise that certain tilings shall be done after elec tion and wh'-n this promise is con cealed from the voters. Mr. Bryan said that the evil of campaign contributions was not cobfined to any one party. The surest way of allowing the people to have the kind of Rover nent they want, he said, is to regulate campaign con tribution:. Samuel (Jumpers, who next spoke, said that corporations made their cam paign contributions for specific pur poses and that a continuation of that practice means continued corporation domination of the parties. Former Senator Chandler of New Hampshire described what bad been nreomnlished sit Washington in pub licity legislation. The meeting was thrown into consider able exc itement by a resolution offered by Alexund'-r Troup of Connecticut which railed tip in the chairman and secreta ries of tlie Republican and Democratic national committee* of the* last national campaign teen made on the strength of prom ise te- do something. "I accept the* ex planation." resumed Air. Ire cup. "but M'\ c'ort(dyon knew differently. He should not have dee iv■ d the President. Ho should have tool him." Mr. Troup then offered his resolution. It at first included only the Republican national committee, but a suggestion from a member that this would be a partisan movement caused Mr. Troup to change ltis resolve so that it took in ats c the Democratic national committee. Tins change was accepted by many members as I c ing wisely reasonable. Mr. Troup wanted the resolution adopt ed immediately, but several speakers d"P recatcd hasty action. Eventually the matter was referred to the executive committee with the understanding that it would make a report at some future meeting of the association to be called by tlie president. A statement that lie intended to prose cute all people- who tised large sums of money at the next election :in hts state, was made by G ivernor Edwin Warfield of Maryland. Tin? meeting adjourned after the dis posal of Air. Troup's resolution. Directors of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation at a meeting Tuesday at New York, passed the usual quarterly dividend on tlie preferred stock of the corporation. President Chas. AI. Schwab said the directors so decided because of the improvements which the corporation has under way and “in view of general conditions.” The Paris AfnnBciipal Council has made an appropriation of Jxe for a monument to ti-c- late Pierre Curie, the d'seovere; of radium.

Monday night two young ladies, whose names are with held from publication on account of the unpleasant publicity which would otherwise come to them, were leaving Soper's store, when they were accost ed by a tough looking man who was standing on the outer edge of the side walk. They turned into the Wardwell Emery store in the hope that he would go on about his business. AA hen they left the store he continued to follow i them until they reached the house of a friend near Elmwood squure. As the young ladies turned in at their friends house, the man made some remark, and the matter was picked up by a young man who was passing. He was considerably smaller than the alleged •■Jack-the-Hugger” and the latter made a lot of boastful talk, long enough to enable a good description of him to be obtained. He is tall, heavy framed, and wore dark clothing. Those who saw him would recognize him again if they should see him. THE MINSTRELS. Unqualified Success Scored by Pro duction Under Arcadia Club Auspices. The home talent successes are com ing thick and fast, and not the least of them was the minstrel show which was given in the City Opera house Tuesday evening under the auspices of the Arcadia Club.

Tiie soloists named below each per formed his part in a manner that was very satisfactory and pleasing, all the numbers being finely rendered. It was to the jokes and local hits, however, that the show owed its live liest interest, and more than one mem ber of the audienc e laughed at his own expense before the show was finished. The Arcadia Club will net a snug sum it is understood, as a result of the entertainment. FIRST PART. Bonos, William J. Rice, G. W. Town send; Limbos, J. W. Hammond, la-slio 1>. Williams, Arthur AS'.

April 16.—The exte-nt and damage of the earthquake are greater than hitherto has been report ed. The town of Ayutia and the town of Ometepcc. about TO tniles to the cast of Ayutia, have been practically de stroyed. The shocks continued at Chilpanein ge, 125 miles south of here all last night and were quite severe. Many of the buikhngs that were left half standing by the previous tremblings were lev eled to the ground. The last shock at C'hilpancingo occurred at 4 o’clock this morning. The general in command of the troops was severely injured. The Jail, the hospitals and the school build ings at this town were destroyed. The prisoners are now being guarded by the Itaral Guards. The people have de serted the town and are living in im provised structures in the open air. The federal government is extending aid to the town of Chilpancingo, but it will be impossible to restore calm until the shocks cease. The number of deaths reported to date is 37. Fourteen per sons were killed in one house. The number of injured is placed at 3S. It is believed the casualties will be found to be much heavier. The port of Acapul co is reported to be partially sub merged. The entire Pacific coast between Ac apulco and Saiina Cruiz, a distance of some 500 miles, is said to have suffered more or less severely. IS MAN IN SIZE Flesh and Bono Developed at Expense of Mentality. Portland, f're.. Apt 11 16.—Roy Fifield, five years old, and one of the most re markable human monstrosities on rec ord, was taken before the county court recently and adjudged insane, after a close medical examination. To the layman the case is infinitely pathetic, and to the medical man it is one of un usual interest. At the age when the normal child is leaving shore dresses Roy has grown to the physical proportions of a youth of IS. while liis mind has failed utterly in its growth. With a head that re quires a hat too large for the average man, the child has nothing but confu sion and idiocy in the interior and is devoid of intelligence. Notwithstand ing the absence of mentality, he has shown a tendency of degeneracy. Dr. Joseph!, who conducted the mental ex amination, pronounced the case one of the most remarkable that had ever been brought to his attention. The hapless freak was taken in custody by the authorities at the instance of his father. Following the examination the boy was sent to the state insane asy lum.
