Although the medical referee was not prepared to give his decision in (lie oas,* up to 10.30 o'clock tonight, popu lar discussion of tlic shooting gave little r....m for ilulit lmt that it was a ease of murder and suicide. The girl was shot twice, her face and arms being badly lacerated. Apparent!? afraid tliat her wounds would not prove fatal, her assailant struck lmr over the head "i'll tie' heavy double barrel of the shotgun. Alter the stunning blow it is thought tn.'C Kenniston tumid the weapon upon himsclt, shooting twice and indicting terrible wounds in his face anil hotly. RACING AT BIRCH PARK.

We all drink Postum now and, without coffee in the house for 2 years, we are all well. “A neighbor of mine, a great coffee 1 drinker, was troubled with pains in her side for years and was an invalid. She was not able to do her work and could not even mend cloths or do anything at all where she would have to bend forward. If she tried to do a little hard work she would get such pains that she would have to lie down for the rest of the day. "At last I persuaded her to stop drinking cofTee and try Postum Food Cofree and she did so and has used Postum ever since; the result has been that she can now do her work, can sit for a whole day and mend and can sew on the machine and she never feels the least bit of pain in her side in fact she has got well and it shows coffee was the cause of the whole trouble. “I could also tell you about several other neighbors who have been cured by quitting coffee and using Postum in its place.” "There's a Reason.” Look in pkg. for the famous little book, “The Road to Wellville.” Centenary Methodist church here.

A Bovine Wonder That Smoked Cigar ettes and Sat in Hammrck. Throughout the time that the St. Pou!3 players were doing themselves proud with their nature stories .loe Cantllion, who hates to see his players beaten at any game, kept s«i limiing uneasily in ids chair, while at the same time ids glance wandered anxiously from one National to another, In the hope that some one of them would come buck at McAlci r\s men with a rattling story along nature lines, that would eclipse the efforts of the boys who dress in brown. Jones, Patten, Hanley and even the new man Shij ke g ive slight outward evi dences one or twice, that they were likely to get a story off their chests; and on Hare occasions the hopes of Manager 'antilion rose high; but seemingly after listening to the stories of Stone and Pick ering the iVashington boys gave it up. Put just as Cantillnn's hopes were a* their lowest cbh who should raise them to the highest pinnable hut the* debonair Charley Hickman, who started in as fol lows:* “It just occurs to me that 1 know* a lit tle story that* might, be added to this na ture series', gentlemen. The incident,” continued Hick, “occurred under my own personal observation, and for that reason I hope nr* one will doubt the truth of it; though I know myself that it may appear a little singular to you all.” “Spit it out. Charley.” chorused the en tire1 Washington hunch, who were de lighted to have louud a champion in th** ever-popular Hickman. “’rids oecut red.” explained Charley, “when T was a lad on the farm up in Pldo. We ha»l a peculiarly affectionate cow that father had raised from baby calf, and was a regular i*et of the family. Well, wlun this calf grew up into tins dignity of a s df-rcspr cling cow it de veloped some of tin* most amazing traits. One of the most remarkable of these traits” went on Hickman, “was its fond ness for cigarettes.” “Its fondness for what?” shrieked Niles. “Ms fondness for cigarettes,” calmly replied Charley, who seemed not to notice the excitement that his remarks had oc casioned rnorig the members of both tea ms “Why. each morning, believe me or not. but that cow just as soon a.t breakfast was over would light a cigar ette. and then getting into the ham mock— Hi* Kt tan got no further, for with a wild veil both teams started after the heavy hitter, and Charley heat i* to the best of bis ability in the direction of Ids bed room Cantllion made elaborate apologies, attributing Charley’s weird imagination to the effects of th*1 heat. But Hickman, from behind closed doors, sent out. an official bulletin to the effect that it was soleiv jealousy op the part of the other players w hich prevented his unreeling tho chnmpinnest old-nature story that had ever been told.

The rating rule and its measurement are given a Ihis provision of the rule. Even if Kir Thomas did getting a challenge under the rating rule, the New York Yacht Club would rever consent to side-tracking thc/lie liance. Constitution or Columbia, and lhe latter two would lie considered as existing boats and would be eligible to take part in trial races for the Imn •r of being selected to defend tlie cup. Tlie Reliance would probably be out of it under the rating measurement. However, as the deed of gift governs the contest for the America's cup, there is little comfort for Kir Thom is under its provisions. It is a wonder ful instrument and will protoet the fa mous trophy. All rules which conflict with it are void. Without going into the details of the ■bailees of Kir Thomas under tlie rat ng rule, but looking the cold facts in lhe face, he has a poor chance of get ing a race under the rating rule, and f the New York Yacht Club does its luty and stands by the instrument un ler which races have heoen summoned by Silas Smith of the date police to appear In the Chelsea •ourt Tuesday morning to answer tne ’barge of unlawfully promoting a iiize fight in Chajsea on Tuesday, luly 22. i ne oinccrs of this c lub were haled before tlic same court three months ago on a similar charge and were found guilty. An appeal was taken, hut nothing has been done on the case since then. SPORTING NOTES.

It is closely Identi fied with the history of the town, says the Ellsworth American. In this house Joseph Wood and his wife died, botli aged ninety-three years, after having lived together a little more than three score years and ten. Ho was the first white man (so far as is known) who had ever set foot on the soil of this town, and this he did April 7, 17U2. His daughter Ruth married Col. Parker in Nov. 1772. In 1812 he built what Is now known as the Parker house. It was the talk of the town aL that time, as he had carpen teis come from Boston to superintend the building of it. He was one of the richest men In the town, and as he spared no expense, it stands today a fine, well-built house and one of the purest of till the old colonial houses in this part of the country. Several if the rooms have the walnscotting, the old-fashioned chair rails, the cor nices, the beams running up In the cor ners, beside the paneling, running up by the side of the old stairway, and jlast but not least there are seven big fireplaces where the draught Is so fine dhat logs of any size can he burned. The old briek bins in the cellar are still in a fine state of preservation even as they are ninety-four or five years old. Some of the old clap boards have had to be removed, but many of the original ones are still to be seen, with the old hand-made nails in them, showing the wonderful meth od used in what they called in those days, "scarfing.” Each end of the clapboards had been pared or wtiii tied down to a thin edge by hand, and then lapped over each other several inches. There are still many of the original handmade panes of crown glass in the windows. When the workmen were shingling the roof, the British guns were heard at Castine, Hcpt. 1. 1814, and they immediately dropped Iheir tools, gave the alarm anil started in hot haste for that town, where they did good service for iheir country. In the old days this place was called a stock farm. Col. Parker never kept less than sixty head of young cattle, beside all the older ones, and many hundred sheep. I'p in the pasture, now owned by Ed. McIntyre, was a Targe building, in the top of which was kept the hay and other feed, while below was a sheltered shed for the live stock. There are people in Bluoliill still living who remember when.it was torn down. The house is now used as a summer home by one of Joseph Wood’s great-great-grandchil ilren, Mrs. Merrill of Boston. .Two years ago she entertained her grand nephew, Wilson Friend of Waterloo. Iowa, who had Ihe unusual distinction of sleeping in the same house where Ids great-great-great-great-grandfath er had died June 20, ISIS. GLEANINGS AND GOSSIP A thief recently stole 30 chickens from the hencoops of the New Jersey peniten tiary. The state ought to he thankful that lie (lid not si al the jail.

A new York woman lias had her hus band arrested for assault, charging that he jumped on her face and broke her nose He ear at least be accused of rude ness if lie did sueli a thing. The long drouth on Long Island has started a new industry. People are now selling water there to farmers whose cis terns and wells have become dry and are getting in cents a barrel for it. The Texas attorney-general lias render ed a division which makes it necessary for the stati railroad commissioners to pay their own railroad fares even when they are traveling on public business. The flower farmers along the Riviera are now making much money by shipping blossoms to Kngland. They are so care fully pack'd that they make tiie trip from Nice to London in perfect condition. Prof. Starr of the University of Chica go, w ho lias advanced no foolish theories for at least l'l days, is now out with the statement that children should wear no clothing until they are 10 years old.

There are now several cuttlefish farms on the British coast, where the flsh are kept and ‘"milked” for their ink. The ponds in which they are kept are connect ed with tiie sea by pipes and are guarded by screens. A fish yields about $45 worth of ink a >ear. Tin* fish are caught with much eare. put in a small tank and then frightened until they squirt out their ink. "Is chicory injurious?” is now being asked in Kngland in consequence of the assertion l.v a witness in a trial that tiie selling of 50 per rent, chicory and coffee mixture was likely to cause a great deal of disease in a poor neighborhood, and the further assertion l>v a medical man that from his experience in poor districts cof fee mixed with chicory often set*up irri tant poisoning. The London Statist says that the total value of tiie exports or Australasia in tiie period from liMMi to 11*10. inclusive, apart from any further expansion after the end of ilffi. will amount to about $1,875,000, 000. or. if no drouth, probably more than $3,000,000,000, in contrast to only $305, UMi.flOO in the live years from ]XxG to 1890. n growth in only 30 years of from 150 to per cent.

This board was ineorporated under an act of the last Legislature un der the name of the trustees of the Machiasport bridge and is composed of citizens of Machiasport and Last Ma chias. The purpose of the hoard is to build a bridge between the two towns. '»'li.» trustees were authorized and em powered to erect and maintain a bridge over tlie west branch of the Maehius river from a point near the dwelling house of Melvin Morse in Machiasport, to a point on the east side of the river, near the Washington County Kailway station, the bridge to be built of suit aide material and not less than IS feet in width, and in all respects to he made safe for the passage of travellers. The act also provides that the bridge shall be constructed with a suitable draw or hoist to allow of the passage of vessels t hrough tlie same, and also so that open boats without masts, launches and rafts of lumber may pass under the same. The trustees arc also rectuircd ty sink ami maintain till nec essary buoys and moorings above and below the bridge, to facilitate the pas sage of vessels hound up and down river through the draw of the bridge.

Some of the unsuccessful fishing par ties at Cobbossee have lately liet n heard to quit sharply criticize the kind of sport that body of water has been furnishing, but could they have seen some of the sport at one of the salmon grounds Saturday it would bo a ease of dollars to doughnuts that the next car would have started them thither ward. It was a sight that every good fish erman would appreciate, even though it made him a hit envious. As a prelude, in the morning James McLaughlin of Ilallowcll landed a Im pound trout. Then Miss Betting of New York, a guest at the Rake View house, landed a 2-pound trout. This was from separate boats and the number of boats kept increasing. Therefore, just to show the newcomers how to turn the trick. Miss netting pulled in a fine 3-pound salmon. That, quite naturally, gave hope to the rest, but Miss Betting and her brother. Dr. Betting, and guide, Toni Jones, said: “Dinner for us,” and gave the other parties the full use of the grounds, Miss Betting returning after dinner. Th- great sport came at about 2 o'clock, six boats then being bunched about the favorite spot. The click of- the reel showed that “Jim” McLaughlin, who by the way. was alone in his boat, had a “nibble.” lie struck and began to have some fun. Then his other rod showed signs of life and with one hand ho “struck" whatever might be nibbling there. Then came th'e fun. Offers of assist ance were given, but Jim said: “No, thank you.” and with the" skill of the export fisherman he handled both fish, binding them safely, amid the applause cf the dozen spectators. The first salmon in the boat weighed within IF. minutes, said 11 pounds, 4 ounces. Tiie other weighed 3 pounds fiat. Well, of court that meant congrat ulations and “high line" from all hands, but at 3.50 o'clock. Miss Belting landed her second salmon, a beauty, F> pounds. 1 ounce, sharing the “high line” honors of the day with Mr. Mc Laughlin. That makes a total for the week for Miss Betting and her broth er. Dr. Betting, of 10 trout and six salmon. The success of the other parties in that locality Saturday can be very easily told. They didn't catch a thing. AMUSEMENTS. Moving Pictures.

ABOUT BABY Mothers Should Ask Their Physician What Food to Use. When it is necessary to wean the baby, the physician should always be consulted as to what food to use. Tile physician most certainly will advise against the use of condensed inilk, or cow's milk alone, uithough lie will quite likely advise the use of what is called modified milk. The chances are that he will pre scribe Justfood, which, when prepared according to the simple directions ae componying the package, modifies cow’s milk in exactly the way that would be recommended by leading physicians. Justfood is so delicate and so easily absorbed that the baby always keeps it down making it unnecessary to use lime water or medicine. It is, too, a most economical food, costing, prepared for use. less than lc. a meal for little babies. Hold by drug gists 50c. $1.00, $1.50. Ask your phy sician his opinion of Justfood, for quite likely he has used it fuj years. We should be glad to send a liberal sample of the food to any mother or physician. Justfood Co., 49 N.

A free-for-all, or Sweepstakes race for launches will be sailed tit Hotel Pines, Island Park, on the 31st, for which desirable prizes will be offered. Kntries are free to all members of the club. Unusual interest is becoming mani fested in the sailboat races this sea son, as well as in the other events, ow ing probably to the fact that two of three of the annual races have been won by the same boat—the Water Witch, owned by K. M. Thompson and, under a rule of the club, should tile same boat lie declared a winner this year, the absolute ownership of the Governor’s Cup will be deter mined.

Young Foster was cranking the engine of a motor boat when it kicked back, striking him on the right arm and breaking both bones above the wrist.

That the tea trade of North America is ami has been for koine yea rs under K«»in- a revolution is proven by the re markable increase in the importation of India and Ceylon tea in the past thir teen years. In 1891 the importation* of liritish prown teas (India ami Ceyloni amounted to 4,723.370 pounds. Fiv«» years later they had risen to 12,f»0X,G% pounds, while still another five years saw a further enormous increase, or an Im portation of 363,009,665 pounds. The#next three years, or in 1906. the quantity of India and (’c\ Ion t**a imported footed lip i‘i.4 .‘'*.7.6 pounds. These figures show 0 w hat an extent the taste of tea drink rs is changing from the weak ard more r less watery teas of oilier countries to the riehlv flavored and full-bodied tea f India and Ceylon.
