Accused Man Acquitted of Charge of Manslaughter In the Supreme Court at Wiscasset. BID NOT CAUSE FATHER’S DEATH. Several Witnesses Give Evidence===Harry Feltis Takes Stand In Own Behalf and Is Later Exonerated. Wiscassot, Me., Oet. 31.—Harry Fel tis, of Bristol, was acquitted of the charge of manslaughter by a jurv in the supreme court late today. Feltis was accused of having caused the death of his father, Loronze Feltis, a Bristol farmer on July 3, by striking him on the head with a club. The de fence maintained that the death of the elder Feltis was due to an accident and that while attempting to remove a wa ter barrel he slipped anil struck his head on a'stone. The Feltis family is prominent in Bristol. Kcnsey of Bristol was the first wifnesjt called Thursday. He testified that he was living on the same road as the respondent, known as the I)am arlseotta 'road. Harry Feltis came to lrfl£5nouse on the morning of July 3d and wanted to hire a team to go to Dainarisciilta. He said that he and his father had had a scrap that morning, and that he had slapped his father; that he couldn't help it. William Kelsey, father of proceeding witness corroborated part of the tes timony of Iiis sun. Lorenzo Feltis, brother of the re spondent was the next witness. lie lived about a mile and a half from the old home. Iiis father came to his house on the morning of July 3rd. lie walked feebly and was bleeding from a wound qh his head and claimed that Harry Had struck him. Witness took his father in his team and carried him to Djirnariseotta, where the wound was Passed l>y Dr. Cloudy, at Dr. Parsons bfhee. They returned home. V Wit ness took Iiis father to iiis own home. The father complained of a pain ill his head, became sleepy and remit ted frequently. The father spoke fre quently of dying. On cross-examination by Lawyer Hil ton. witness testified that h-- had no ill feeling towards his brother. Harry. He admitted that after the prelimnary liearing held in August, lie did publicly say that Harry iiad murdered his father. Witness was asked if he had not been convicted in this same court for stabbing his horse. This witness idmitted. He also admitted that he ivas arersted at the last annual election in Bristol for disturbing the peace, anil that lie paid a line for said offense. He took care of his father from the time he carried him home until he died, giving him such treatment as the doc tor ordered. On redirect, witness said lie and Harry had worked together on the ice last winter and that lie frequently gave Harry a ride. Mrs. Cora Feltis. wife of Lorenzo, testified in regard to the condition of icr husband's father at the time he ar -ived at their home. Henry H. Cloudy testified that he kept he postoffice at Bristol and that Harry .■ame to him on the morning of July 3. Hid asked him if lie could trust hint. Fold him that he had had trouble with lis father and had knocked him down. 3aid that he had been obliged to wit in lint. Harry then asked for advivo. tVitnes was unable to give this. On cross-examination witnes stated .hat he went directly into his house ind wrote in his diary just what Harry iad said and that Harry was with him ;our or five minutes. Dr. J. W. Goudy of Bristol was the text witness. He testified i nregard to he wounds on the elder Feltis' head mil to dressing them in the office of Dr. Parsons of Damariscotta. Witness pan’ the injured man frequently until his death. The cross-examination by Mr. Hilton brought out the information that a man suffering with Bright's disease would show the same symptoms as did the deceased. The witness was followed by Dr. Parsons, who testified to being pres ent at the autopsy and to the condi tion of tiic brain and other organs, and also corroborated the statement that similar conditions as found on the man might have existed in the case of a man who had died of Bright's dis ease. Ho said that the fracture of the skull which was found at the autopsy did not cause brain pressure. Medical testimony was very lengthy. In thi' afternon Dr. Coombs of Wal doboro was the first witness for the de fence. He was followed by Dr. A. St Gilson of Portland. Testimony of these physicians and surgeons was in sub stance that the methods and condi tions of the autopsy, held on the body of Lorenzo Feltis, were incomplete and that it would he impossible to tell by such an autopsy what caused the I death of Mr. Feltis. Harry Feltis. the defendant, was next railed. He told in a straight-forward man ner of the happenings at the Feltis home as pre viously told by his mother, awyer Partridge who is assisting the county attorney, put the barrel in po sition .ilid Harry Feltis described in detail the emptying of the rainwater barrel and all the happenings of that affair. He said that when bis father fell, lie might have struck sonic object lying near by, possibly a couple of rocks, or some thing else, be did not know wiiat. Ho denied striking his father with a hoe and said that he went to Dam.iriscot ta for advice liecau.se he knew his father had gone In his brother's, Lorenzo Feltis, •lr'«., anu knew that his brother would put his fatiier up to something. He denied telling Henry H. Ooudy that he had struck ids father, hut did tell 1dm that they had had trouble, as he had pre viously told Mr. Kelsey. He was given a. rigid cross-examination by Lawyer Partridge, but was clear and direct in bis statements. Lawyer Partridge tried several methods of breaking his testimony but failed. Fel tis was recalled to the stand after ttio noon recess and his cross-examination was resumed. He said that lie never saw his father again although he knew where he was. but that he didn’t dare to go to his brother's house. He further said that when he went home to live with his parents his father agreed with his mother to give him the place, and after the deed was drawn up his father refused to sign it, paying that he had promised Lorenzo. Jr., the brother, not to do so. Mrs. Mabel G. Feltis. Harry’s wife, and his mother, botli corroborated tills evi dence and that closed the defence. Probably the smallest six-year-old child in America, is Armyne Davis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Davis, of East Columbus. She is only S'* inches tall and weighs 2.') pounds anil has grown only one inch since IS months old. She is in perfect health and meas ures 23 inches around the waist, which is the same waist measurement as that of her mother. The child was born in Martinsville. Higher Prices For Better Grades of Hides Expected. Lynn, Mate., Oct. 31.—A recent de ■ision of hide and skin brokers, which toes into effleet tomorrow, to buy New England hidVs on selection instead of it a stated rate. Will bring higher irices for thft bettor grades and will -ive some impetus to an increased pro [uction in this\section of the country, leretofore a practically uniform price as been paid tW all New England ides regardless o\their quality. Under he decision to bu>\ on selection, an ad vance of about one cent a pound will be made for the best grades. This advance, and the increased price of milk and beef, are pointed out as great inducements for the New England farmer to pay closer attention to cattle raising. A revival of the use of oxen is noted in many New England farming sections, due to the fact that the ox, besides being an eduring beast of bur den. also commands a good market price for beck and hides when his work ing days are over while a horse does not. TWOJSCAPE. Prisoners Break Jail at Windsor, Vermont. Gut Hole In Hoot and Climb Oown With Hope of Twine. Both in One Ceil and Worked To* gether For Liberty Windsor, Vt., Oct.^31.—C.eorso R. Ar mour and Oliver Germain, inmates of the Vermont State prison in this town, escaped sometime during- the night by cutting a hole in the roof, and lower ing themselves to the ground by a rope made of shoemakers’ twine. Roth men managed to get into the woods, and up to this forenoon tiiere was noth ing to indicate which way they had gone. At the present time tlie? west wing of the prison, in which tlie two fugitives were quartered, is undergoing repairs, and the inmates of that section have been kept in tlie east or old wing of the prison. The present temporary arrangement necessitated putting two men in a cell, and Armour and Germain were cell mates. The cell in which they were confined was in the fourth or top tier and. was directly underneath the ceiling. Tile escanc had evidently been care fully planned as the men were pre parcel in every way. They cut a hole through the ceiling, gaining access to a sort of unoccupied attic underneath the roof. With the aid of a plank, they forced a hole through the roof, and then lowered themselves to the ground, having manufactured a rope out of shoemakers’ twine. They dropped from the rope outside the prison hard on to the street. Whether the men kept together or separated after getting out of the prison is not known, but it is thought that they kept together and that they (Continued on Page Two.) FAIR AND WARMER.

Mr. Connolly who had boon notified by a police captain to appear before the court, informed Judge Hill lie had nothing to say, that he meant what he said and had nothing to retract. He was ordered to he placed under ar rest and committed to the county- jail until the lias been paid and the apology made. He was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Swett. Tin- county attorney announced that proceedings would be instituted immed iately for iiis release. "'lie contempt was based on a. declar ation by Mr. Connolly in substance as follows: "Your ruling in this cas">. is lgo, was directly opposite to that which you gave in the case of the Forest City Express Co., last week, and the only reason you gave it was because you were afraid to hold Ciardiner Yi’alker. and that’s why you let all the others go. If it had been some old woman on trial, you j would have ennvh ied her on half tin oviden "V.” Judge Hit in a statement said this was not the first time recently he has been subjected to such treatment, bull lie bad regarded such remarks as due j to passion and had not thought it nec essary to take tiny .action concerning them.

Mass., Oct. 31.—Within the last few days the final steps in the plan to make Springfield and Chicopee sea port cities have been taken, the first, of the ileet of barges, the Julia Plante, having; been launched here. The barge is the pioperhty of Herman Burgi of the Springfield Oasliglit Co., who, a few months ago, demonstrated that the transportation of coal by water to Springfield was practicable. The barge will bo used In the trans portation of coal from Hartford to Chicopee and Springfield. The Julia Plante, which cost about fiflOrt, will make her first trip down the Connec ticut river in a few weeks. I The Julia. Plante is the first of several barges to be built for the coal carry ing trade on the Connecticut river. Mo tive power will be furnished by two SO- j horsepower engines turning paddle j wheels. The boat will he equipped with derricks and will have a currying ca pacity of 250 tons. It i s planned to alley the barges make the trip to Hartford, where they will receive their cargoes from barges dirert from South Amboy, N. J. ORDERS COUPLE DEPORTED. Commissioner Sargent Upholds Ruling Of Special Board of Inquiry. Washington. Oct. 31.—F. P. Sargent, commisioner general of the bureau of immigration, denied yesterday iho ap peal of a confessed eloping couple from Berlin for admission to the United j States. They were ordered deported, j and sailed from Baltimore on the, steamer Rhein, of the North German Llr.yd Line for Eremen. Several days ago Frau Elizabeth i Hesse, 25 years old. and Hans Nachti- gall, 21 years old. arriver at Baltimore! on the Rhein. .They had been preceded by a dispatch from the husband of the woman, who is secretary of the railway mail service at Berlin. When examined before a board of special in quiry they admitted that they hud run away from Germany, the woman ex plaining she could not live happily with her husband. The board of inquiry ordered the de- j portation of the couple. An appeal was; taken to Mr. Sargent and today he sits- tained the decsion of the hoard. tor being searched in the customary manner was locked into a cell. The habeas corpus proceedings were held late this afternoon before Associate Justice Strout of the supreme court. County Attorney Connolly was brought up from the jail in the custody of a dep- uty sheriff. He was represented by for mer Judge Enoch Foster and Melvin P. Frank, while the interests of Judge Hili were looked after by his counsel. United States District Attorney Robert T. White house. The court room was filled with members of the Cumberland Bar Asso ciation, who took a deep interest in the unusual proceedings. Attorney Frank in opening for the pe titioner did not deny the declaration was made and the county attorney while on the stand declared he meant just what ho. had said, and explained why he said it. Attorney Frank claimed that the munici- i pal court is an inferior court, that the alleged contempt occurred outside the court room and out of the jurisdiction of the court: that Mr. Connolly was not cit ed to appear and show cause why he should not be sentenced, and that no rec ord of the action of the court was made. A dozen witnesses summoned in behalf of the petitioner were examined and County Attorney Connolly went on the stand and was questioned at length after telling his story. Judge Hill took tho stand, explained his position and was questioned by counsel for both sides. Justice Strout adjourned the hearing un til tomorrow morning, when the argu ments will be made, and accepted bail in the sum of $200 pending the conclusion 1 of the hearing. According to the recollection of the old est attorneys in Portland, this case is un- prreedented in the history of Maine court proceedings. There are on" or two roc- ords of court officials adjudged guilty of contempt of court, but none where a county attorney lias been placed under arrest and fined on sttrli a charge. LITTLE DAMAGE DONE. Bursting Darn Floods Large Section of Leominster. Mass. Leominster. Mass., Oct. 31.—A large section of this town was flooded when tho dam controlling the waters in an artificial pond owned by L. I.. Rich ardson. about a mile from the center of the town, gave way late last night. About .10 feet of the dam. which is 200 fec-t long, went out and the sud den rush of water washed out a large section of Union street. The water spread out over the lowlands before it reached the center of the town, so that little damage was done except near the pond, which covered about 23 acres and was used for pleasure purposes and fish raising. Rounding Up Thaw Witnea Pittsburg, Oct. 31.—Roger O’Mara, a detective who has been working on Iho Harry Thaw case ever since the murder of Stanford White, went to Xew York yesterday morning to con fer with Martin W.

Financial Situation Reassuring-” Business Very Good. Xp«' York Oct. 31.—Indication;* that the available supply of currency would he materially increased within a short time, both by imports of gold and the increase of the bank note circulation and that the movement of cotton and grain crops would be facilitated in every way possible with the result of increasing our credits abroad, were the salient features of todays financial sit uation. It seemed to be recognised everywhere that tlieacut stage of the crisis was over and that all that re mained was to obtain sulflcient cur rency to resume currency payments upon a broad scade and thus to restore conditions prevailing before the crisis. The engagement of gold made in New York. Chicago and elsewhere brought up the total import movement within the past week to $23,750,000. As this amount of gold will afford a basis of credit to four times the amount, of about SP5.00o.tm0 it will, in Itself afford much relief to the existing pressure. The action of the Bank of England in raising its discount rate from IMs to o'i per cent, was in accordance with ex pectations in conservative circles. The fact that the increase was not made to six per cent, and that the English rate remains one per cent, below the German rate is accepted ns all indica tion that tlie situation at London is not considered acute. The prompt response of the national banks throughout the country to the sugsgstion of Comptroller Ridgley that tliev should employ their United States bonds its largely as possible to secure circulation and substitute other bonds for those pledged against deposits of public money, promises a considerable increase in the available stock of cur rency. The estimates of an increase in the bank note circulation of $5(1,000.00U is considered well within the probabili ties. It wil require time, however, In some cases for the banks to obtain proper rtonds to substitute for their United States bonds. Mr. Vunderlip, vice president of the National City Bank, made the fruitful suggestion to day that the savings banks would ut once improve the pen cal situation and ad dto their cash if they would roll their holdings of United States bonds to tho National banks. Even in cases where they do not care to sell It is believed that they will lend the bonds to the national banks as lias often been done in the past. Interest is continuing to center in the movement of the eotlon crop from New Orleans and other Southern points, where it is so essential to pro viding bills against the imports of gold. Secretary Cortelyou, according to Washington dispatches today, was dis posed to increase deposits of public funds n the Southern bnnks ns rapid ly ns such funds became available. This will supply the banks with the stock of currency so much needed to handle the cotton crop and will enable tlio’ii to await with less embarrass ment than otherwise the arrival of their coton hills in Europe and tho bringing back of the gold. The com mittee of New Orleans bankers which is in Washington has suggested that the New York banks can ease the situ ation by giving the Southern bnnks credit for checks on foreign banks for warded ns soon as they receive tele graphic advices of the amounts. This will enable the Southern banks to clieek against such bnllanees in pay ment of collections and In making re mittances to interior banks throughout the country. It is noted with interest by leading bankers here that the present acarelty of currency and the recourse which has b 'en had to the national bank circula tion are arousing unusual Interest in the plan for currency reform which lias been endorsed by the American Bankers' Association. This plan was adopted in December of last year, af ter consultation with representatives of the New York Chamber of Com merce. and was presented to Congress at that time. The plan did not receive the definite approval of the American Bankers’ Association, however, until the meeting at Atlantic City In Septem ber lant, hut at that time It tvas en dorsed by a nearly unanimous vote, (Continued on Page Ten.)

NOT LAWFUL. Voting Machines Tabooed In the Bay State. No Method ol Voting Where Bal lot Is Not Visible, Legal. Unconstitutional, Decides Majority of Supreme Court. Boston. Oct. 51.—Tt loncl toil.-. that the supreme; court in deciO't] against the validity of a voting machine in Ward 10 of this citv a rescript of which decision was handed down yes terday. went further than the particular case and in a lengthy opinion given out tod ij" applied the decision to the entire state. Th* opinion, signed by a major ity of tin- judges, declares .lint any mi thod of voting which hides the ballot from tla voter is unconstitutional. The opinion in part states that th" method of voting hv machine is entirely unlike tile writing of tie- name of chosen candidate upon a piece of paper :tnd the depositing it in a box to In- af terwards taken out arid counted. In the use of a machine the \o; r tnusr trust everything to the perf a voter who pulls a lever or turns a key. is not ihe use of a written ballot w ithin the meaning of the constitution. If it is to be said that these are the best and most effieient me ins to secure a free and honest elec tion. tin- answer is that they arc not the means prescribed for those eta's by the constitution. The constitution does nor authorize the general court to put tin expression of the voters’ will to the chance of being nullified or pervert I by slipping cogs, defective ii-vcrs or mechanical devices which have no liv ing intelligence, no conscience and no liability to punishment to insure tin ir doing right. It is required that every step in th' task of sting that the vote, whether given by Indian corn and beans or other ballots by show of hands, by the living voice, or by paper voting are rightly counted, shall be entrusted to, and performed by. not an inanimate j machine, but by sworn officers and in open uniting, where each step of the work can he verified and mistakes cor rected. REFORMS FOR SOLDIERS. War Department’s Action to Make Service More Attractive. \\'shingt"n. Oct. 31.—Robert Shaw >1 ivei. acting secretary of the war de li.arlincut, has determin si ilium re forms in the armv in order to make the s rvhi- more attractive for the enlist ed nicii. Congress will he asked for more money f,(r the men. Imt the war department will enileavi r to correct sotu renditions 'musing complaints li.v exerting executive authority, line of. the princi|al causes of dissatisfaction* has been the practice of issuing tojici necessities, prescribed by army regu lati ms. an I taking the cost out of the I enlisted man's first month's pay. This, would "'set him back" Si; to $7. and il is believed to be the reason why i serliotis have been numerous unions men who have set veil only a month. A i order was issued today by Gen era I Oliver providing that the soldier shall reel ive his first razor, tooth brnsn. soap and similar articles with out -ost to him. Imt that thereafter he must keep bis toilet kit supplied. Tie' average annul! enlistments are about 30.000 men. but It is estimated that the change will i ost the government only about V, O'Ml l a year. Another reform will provide that the dally gymnastics shall lie 3n minutes in stead of an hour, and that the time shall be fixed other than immediately following drill duly. The weekly mutches have been ordered discontinued, and hereafter the men will take their "hikes" once a month only. General Oliver intends also to limit the character of work that must be done around army posts In enlisted men. At some of the large posts, where the grounds are extensive, these tasks have grown up enormously, and the work is not at all of a chauHcler that should be done, by soldiers. To put an end to this Mill re uuire an appropriation in order to have tile work done by civilian labor Still another recommendation Mill l e in the direction of Improving the rations. 1 hey a**e now issued so generously that bv good management the cooks make sav ings. and the company unai termaster is able to turn these ever for butter and milk, which are not supplied to the sol.

The Journal replies not a word on i the question of wool protection and Maine sheep. That we take to mean that the Journal cannot answer. A silent admission by the Journal that Hie principal article of the Dinglej' tariff was disastrous to Maine.—Lewis ton Hun. Tne readers of the Sun would set the impression front the foregoing edi torial passage, that this was a re cent question which it had put to the Journal and to which it had never received an answer. Obviously this is the impression our Lewiston contemporary intends to convey. Cer tainly no one would suppose after reading the passage above quot' d that the Sun had weeks ago put this ques tion to the Journal and been uus.-.ercd at length; but such is ihe fact. As far back as the I'd o! last June the Sun demanded that we tell the farmer# of Maine what the Dingley tariff on wool had done for sheep raisers. This we did on June :;d at considerable length, front the ollii.7S0. Maine Prosperity Under the Dingley Law. TIi** Lewiston Sun eha llenger L;!(> Journal to name one change in the Dingley tariff law that has benefited Maine. 'I his we have already done at considerable length covering very fully our agricultural and manufacturing interests and the ben jits derived by tlie wage workers of the State. We 1 art her shove cd, that under the Dingiey tariff, tlie money in the Maine Savings Hanks. Trust Companies, and Loan and Building Associations had increased from *67..»Ja.4:!:; to $110,709,109, a gam of $411,105.0.16. During tin sane- period (from 1,97 to 1907) tiic number of depositors in these institutions increased from 189. 111 to "89.508. a gain of 100,:;91. It might occur to the average citizen tiiat these figures are a pretty fair barom eter of tlie splendid prosperity which the people of our State have enjoyed tinder the Dingley tariff law which the Lewiston Sun asserts with parrot like reiteration to be "a curse to Maine." And still at this late da)' our esteemed Lewiston contemporary challenges us to name a single thing in which the Dingley tariff lias benefited the State of Maine! Verily there are none so blind as those who will not see—men who cling tenaciously to a theory without regard to facts. We would gladly reprint for the suae of the Sun the articles in which we showed by the oflicial figures to what a marked extent the Dingley tariff law had benefited every phase of the in dustrial Jife of Maine, but space for bids. It will be cheaper to send our Lewiston contemporary a tile of the Journal from the first of last June. One of the latest deerves of fashion is that women's skirts shall be shorter, tut unfortunately this does not imply that there will be any change in the length of the bill. i ,,,_ 1 There are reuse ns to fear that tlie re tailers will be slow to hear about thai ten per vent cut in the price of meats. u, i —Secretary Loeb is still in camp ii the Yellow stone National Park, but wil _ leave for ashingtep today.

Mr. Cleveland’s First Administration Under the Republican Tariff Law of 1883. in discussing the lirst administration of President Cleveland yesterday the Journal inadvertently' stated that it was under the McKinley law. Mr. Cleveland's first adniinistia tion was under wliat was called thf tariff of 18S3. a distinctly protcctionisl measure, passed by a Republican Con gross and signed by a Republican president. Mr. McKinley was a mem ber of the Ways and Means Committee which formulated this law and bore a conspicuous part in its work. The tariff measure, however, which was distinctly known by his name was not enacted until 18M0. We make the fore going statements for Hie sake of historical accuracy, and to correct an inadvertent error which did not how ever affect the force of the argument. The fact remains that during the whole of Mr. Cleveland's first administration, a Republican tariff law, a protectionist measure, passed by a Republican Con gress aiul signed by a Republican president, was in force. It was under this measure that the splendid treasury surplus of Mr. Cleveland’s first ad ministration was accumulated and its debt-paying record accomplished. The Sentinel’s Humor. It is evident that the idea ot an ex pression of tlie will of the voters of Maine under the Initiative and Refer endum upon the "question of whether or not they desire to abandon or retain the prohibitory principle, such vote to bp taken at a special election, has tilled the soul of the Waterville Sentinel with serious apprehension. A t first it at tempted to “shoo” this popular movt meat off the track by declaring tiiat the proposed resolve submitting this whole question to a public expression of tile popular will “could not be tot ed upon.'' Appreciating evidently the error of this position—and all men are liable to err—it new attempts to laugh the whole matter out of court by a resort to one of its wildest and most exuberant outbursts of button busting humor. It must be admitted that humor is today the ricntmel'K stronghold, and never is it more ex uberant or scintillating in this direc tion than when it finds itself--as is frequently the case—shy of argument. In this particular instance it fairly outdoes itself Taking the word “Plcbicite" for a text it gives itself up to a perfect delirium of humor. ft fairly wakes the echoes with its wild and frisky cachinnations. It expands with the warmth of its unhampered and buoyant jocularity until it be comes light enough to float. There upon it spurns this mundane sphere and soars away to Mat's, while all the heavens resound with the fleeting echoes of its fervid and feverish laugh ter. We will leave it resting its dazzling, iridescent wings upon the edge cf that planet, while m calmer and more seri ous mood, we examine into the cause of it-' riotous merriment. The Standard dictionary oils us that the vvoid “plebicite” means “an ex pression of the popular will oil a given matter of public interest by means of a vote of the w hole people,” The time was. and not so very long ago. w hen th" Sentinel was wont to demand in stentorian tones, an opportunity for “tip' whole people” to express tin ir will at the polls upon the question of re taining or rejecting tlip prohibitory principle. Xow that an opportunity will shortly be afforded tor them to so vote upon tliis question, upon its own merits and at a special election where its consideration would be divorced from the influences of partisan politics —it first attempts to bluff the idea off the track, and. failing in this, gives way to a record-breaking burst of rib cracking hilarity. We'ave not lacking in appreciation of our neighbor’s gifted imagination and rollicking whimsicalities. They art: certainly amusing. They afford considerable entertainment, and add to the gayety ot nations—but they are not convincing. PERSONAL NOTES.

A former South Paris girl. Miss Anne Parsons, now of New York, was ad mitted recently to the bar in that city. Alisa Parsons, who is the daughter of tlie late f>. R. Parsons, has been a stenographer for some years, in New York, and while working at stenog raphy. she lias found time to make a practical study of law. and her course in the New York I’niversity, was the prelude to Iki admittance to the New York bit r. Olio of West Franklin's amateur hunters. fearing tliat he might be shot, pure ha sod a web of sheeting and sewed it upon lii.s back. One day last week lie took to file bush and came upon a cow and calf moose. The moose, not being accustomed to seeing a dry goods store in the wilderness, began to paw’ ami bellow furiously. The noise proved to l.e more than the nerves of the hunter eouhl stand, and he started towards home in a hurry. stealing from a public museum may not be the meanest kind, but it comes near that. In a. letter to the Bidde ford Record Ferguson Haines states (hat relics and curiosities presented by hint to the York institution years ago have disappeared. These included n collection of copper cents from 171K! to 1S75. a remarkable formation of oyster shells, a pocketknife given to lii.s father by Governor Fairfield, and some specimens of the header's work. Doubtless they have been tolen by that modern pest, the souvenir fiend, or by some ot those persons of warped moral nature who consider it no sin to steal public property. Only recently it was reported that thefts and vandalism at the Louvre in Paris hid become so serious that it was necessary to increase the number and vigilance of the guards. Other muse ums have the same trouble, and it all seems to indicate an increasing deteri oration of the moral sense. It is a particularly mean form of thieving because these valuable collections have been established and maintained by generous givers or at the public ex pense, for the enjoyment of the pub lic forever, and because the misbe havior of a few puts all visitors un der suspicion instead of on their honor. A man who has been staying in Maine this summer. tells this story to the Maine Woods: One day as he was driving over the hills ho saw a beauti ful deer drinking out of the trough by the wayside. So intent was she that she did not seem to notice a dog which was trotting down the road towards her. Fearful lost harm should come to the graceful little creature the man tried to drive the dog away. What was his surprise to see the deer, when she had finished drinking, turn to the dog. greet him by rubbing her nose against him. while he responded by licking her face. Then together they trotted away over the fields, evidently on the best of terms. He spoke of his adventure to his Maine host, and was told that the deer was tame, that it bud been brought up by a farmer’s wife, who found it. just a new-born baby, in the field by liev farmhouse. I The mother had been killed by some accident, and the tiny creature would have died from exposure had not the woman rescued >f. She took it to the house, and brought ;t up and it bream* a household pet, devoted to its mis tress and all the members of the fun ny. But its dearest friend and chosen playmate was the hunting dog, and together the two ranged field and wood, the dog constituting himself the protector of the fawn. This is one of the occasional strange friendships of the world, and it is valuable as proof of what propinuuily will accomplish. VOICES OF THE PRESS. "The Markets of the World.” (Cedar Rapids Republican.) In one of Ids* notable speeches on the Tariff, delivered a good many years ago, Thomas li. Reed referred to the so-called ■•markets of the world,” argument, in dulged hi by Free-Traders ns one of the silliest of all their contentions, lie said that tc hear these fellows talk you would think that “the markets of tlie wot Id were an aching void waiting to he tilled." hut tiiat when he went after them along the lines mapped out by Free-Traders we were always sorely disappointed ul the results. Continuing, he said: "This doctrine is not new. It is as old as Aesop the fablist. One day there was a dog trotting along with a tine bit ol’ mutton in his mouth. lie was a nice dog. noth ing the matter with him except 1 hat h had a few foolish Free-Trade ideas in ids head. He came to a stream bridg'd bv a plank, and as he trotted across, he saw me markets of tlie world in the mhrored depths below, and dived altci then*. The nest moment he crawled up the bank, the wettest, sickest, nastiest, most muttonkss dog that ever swam ashore." Foreign trade is till right. Fret-Trad ers have always contend'd that we could never get it under Protection, out un der the operation of the Dingley law* we have gone on extending our loreign trade b" leaps and bounds— to such an extent, indeed, that tbe total trade bal ances in our favor during the last ton years exceeded the sum total of the fa vorable trade balances in all our pre vious history. It simpiy passes human understand ing that the people of America should bo dissatisfied with industrial conditions as they have existed when it is only a few years ago that the most serious problem with which we had to deal was liow to take, care of our unemployed. When the shadow of Free-Trade rested upon this country ami organizations like Coxey’s and Kelley’s armies wye wan dering over the country fed by charity and sundry persons were asking what was the matter with America. William McKinley said: “What America wants is a day’s work for every man wl o wants to labor.’’ There lias been a dsv’s work for very man v. lio wants to labor for the last ten years. Today our chief difficulty is that there ate more jobs than men. The mar. who looks aftef tiie crops officially ill Iowa is ahmned iust now been use there arc not enough men in sight to gather the corn crop, and it isn't a bumper crop either, licaise wit cs are unable to get women to help with the housework. Street commission ers and contractors find it difficult to find laborers enough to do their work. The wages paid are higher than were ever paid before in the bistort of the world. Our industries have expanded until (here is actually a scarcity of cap ital to meet current demands. And yet in the fm e of these conditions men are shouting themselves black in the face in favor of a policy that lias never failed to produce idleness and misery and want.

Mr. Frank Howe, a prominent farmer In tiie town of Van Buren, says' I visited tlie best physician inMiis country, who treated me tor about two years for rheumatism. I spent in that time several hundred dollars and seemed to stow worse instead, of better each day. Being on clutches and forced to drive to tile train and hobbling to the doctor s office became very discouraging, let alone the sleepless nights and fearful hours of pain. Being advised by a friend i purchased Smiths Urie-O prescription, took it home and used it 'hat day as directed. •Those fenrtul scialic pains left me. niv blood seemed to let loose and tlow freely I felt different and knew tne next morning 1 bad found a cure, as i slept and rested well all that night, something 1 bad not done before in two years. 1 used in all six bottles of 1’rio-O and have never felt a return of Hie disease, had no use for crutches or c ine since the tirst day’s treatment.

Notwith standing this fact many of tite citizens of Augusta are laying itt a supply to he in readiness for tlie coining win ter. It is stated on good authority that there is much wood in the near vicinity of Augusta, hut for some rea son tite owners of this wood do not bring it in freely. Tite retail price of wood is for tite four-foot wood and for the wood fitted for the stove. One of the wood dealers of the city, in an interview, stated that tite price of this commodity was likely to he higher than it is now before spring, for. owing to tlie intense cold of last winter, there was little wood cut. The scarcity of labor also had a disturbing effect on tite situation, the wood cut ters finding it almost impossible to get their wood out for this reason. The above prices apply to hard wood. The cheaper grades, suclt as slabs, etc., can. of course, be purchased for a much lower figure. Miss E. T,.

In the fall of 115C I gave a statement of my case for publication. At that time I had been suffering from kidney complaint in a severe form for eight years. Ml back was weak and I was subject to twinges of pain and could not get on my feet frcm lying down without gradually working myself up sideways. At night i rolled and tossed about unable to sleep and felt as though lying on a bed of rocks. I was often compelled to quit work for a day or two and sometimes a week or two. I used many remedies without much benefit and finally got Doan's Kidney I’iils at Chas. K. Part ridge's drug store, now lilts K. Part ridge. In two days f was convinced this was the remedy I needed. J was sur rised at the grtat benefit I received for cdhsidered such a quick change for the better almost an impossibility. During the eight years pest I have been as free tile eigm jeara from kidney disorders and backache as I ever was in my life. The cure has been 1 ev**r won in my ui«t. 41m permanent, and I cheerfully re-endorse the claims made for Doan's Kidney Pills." For Pale by all Dealers. Price 50 cents.

General Observance Throughout the City—Fun Reigns Supreme. Hallowe’en was- appropriately ob served throughout the city last even ing, with all of the characteristic fea tures of the occasion, and the night was one that was thoroughly enjoyed by many. At the Methodist vestry on Green street and the I'niversalist ves try on Winthrop street public enter tainments were given, both of which were well attended and were produc tive of lots of fun. The decorations and the games were thoroughly in harmony with the spirit, it might lie said, spirits of the occasion, in the Methodist vestry the cobweb decora tions gave the room a decider-:;,' “witchy” appearance. It is safe to presume that all the young folks had the best of luck with tile ghosts and that the fortunes fore told, especially in the matrimonial line, were all that could be asked for. Of course all the games of really and truly Hallowe’en night were played, such as going down stairs backward, with a mirror in hand, looking for the reflection of the future husband, and all the other time honored tricks that have rescended from generation to gen eration in which the fates are asked to show the future and unfold what has been previously hidden from mor tal eyes. Besides the two parties alluded to there were sc Vera 1 others held about the city that were entertaining and of a very "spookish” character. It is to he supposed that the night will long he remembered in circles where the fates were tempted last night, and of course al Ithe young folks about town are hoping that all the good things pre dicted will come true.

No Clue to Whereabouts of Daniel A. Bosworth. Garland. Me., Oct. 31.—(Special).—Up to a late hour Thursday absolutely no sign or clue to the whereabouts of Daniel A. Bosworth of this town had been found, notwithstanding the fact that a very thorough search lias been made in all parts of this town. It was one week ago today that Bosworth left the home of William Noble wearing slippers on his feet anil minus coat and vest. It is known that he left somewhere near 3 A. M-, and since that time absolutely nothing has heen seen or heard of him. That he has committed suicide is the belief of some of Ids friends, while, others entertain a foul play theory. This latter theory the municipal officers scout as there seems to be a lack of motive for any violence to the old man. The se lectmen are in charge of the search, which will be kept up for the remainder of this week at least. The inhabitants of the town are greatly worked up over the strange disappearance and it is the deter mination of the authorities to locate the man either dead or alive. Bosworth has heen ill much of the time for the past few years and has repeatedly stated that he would out his own throat if he did not recover within a rertain length of time Bosworth had no property but drew a pension of $3fi a quarter for injuries re ceived in the C'vil war. george McLaughlin.

Gertrude Best of this city enter tained a few of her friends yesterday afternon at her home, 16 Gage street. During the afternoon numerous games were played, after which refreshments were served. It being Miss Best’s eighth birthday she received many pretty gifts. Everyone reported having had a good time. The amount of game which has pass ed through Augsta this season en route from the hunting grounds to va ries points in the New England and Middle states, is said to be small in comparison with the shipments of oth er seasons, the reason for which is said to be due to the fact that a great deal of the game is shipped via the Somerset extension rather than that the amount of game killed is smaller. Principal Jackman of the Smith school has arranged for a series ol 15-minute talks for the benefit of his Grammar grades. These will be voca tional in part, a member of each voca tion presenting the salient features ol his business of profession.

The first of these talks will be of a general nature and will be given by the superintendent of schools at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Harold Weeks gave a Hallowe’en party and dance last evening at liis home mi the Bangor road, which called out a large number of his trionds and proved to be a grand good time. The early part of the evening was devoted to games and other amusements char acteristic of the night and the festiv ities closed with a social dance for which music was furnished by Bal lard’s Orchestra. A large party ol young folks went up from the city proper, enjoying a straw ride. Among the pleasant Hallowe’en parties held in this city last evening, was one at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur L. Brown, Capitol square, which had a double significance, it be ing the 27th anniversary of their mar riage. Some thirty or more friends were present to offer congratulation? and assist in the festivities. All the old Celtic pastimes, interspersed with music and cards were enjoyed. Aftei a bountful supper was served, *he tables being decorated in a Unique and striking manner and appropriate t 1 had run less than a mile when they me: No. 2S head on. The conductor and th engineer both admit that they were a fault; that they should have knowr where No. 28 was before they starts, and kept out of its way, and we so find Conductor Dunbar gives as an expla nation as to why he forgot to inquir where No. 2S was, that when he re ceived his order from the train dis patcher, Mr. Porter, he was criticise, by Mr. Porter because he did not obe\ orders more promptly. That Mr. Por ter said to him in substance that th* day before he had an order to run anc he delayed his train in the yard fo some time, and that Porter said to hin -Now get to Clinton as quick as yoi II can There are two extras there and want to get one in on No. 11.” Addin; .'-c,“t to Clinton as quick as you can.” i' lie admits that he was not suppose to go until No. 28 was in. H»- sevs th r train dispatcher said to him "Are vo going to he around as long as you wet WHEN GIRLS GROW PALE AND WEAK Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Arc the Tonic That Will Restore Rich, Red Blood and Insure Healthful Development. Girls between the ages of fourteen ami seventeen are often subject to a form of anaemia, or bloodlessness, that requires the serious attention of par ents if the subsequent health of their daughters Is to be safeguarded. For some unknown reason it more often attacks blondes than brunettes. It is supposed to be due to lack of proper exercise and of fresh air. Im proper selection of food may cause it or it may arise from emotional or nervous disturbances. Whatever the cause, the disease itself is a condition of the blood in which the vital fluid is unable, to carry nourish ment to the different parts of the body. The remedy is a tonic for the blood and, as it is to be given to young girls, it must be a safe tonic, harmless under any and all conditions. Such a tonic is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and so many euros have been accomplished by this remedy that no sufferer can afford to neglect it. Mrs. E. A. Woodward, of 174 Com mercial street. Rochester, N. Y., was cuted by these pills and her statement should carry conviction. She says: “When I was eighteen years old, I suffered from anaemia. My blood be came thin and watery and I grew pale and so weak that 1 couldn’t walk across even a room without help. My heart pained me awfully whenever I walked or lay down. It felt at those limes as though it would jump right out of my body and I always, had the same feeling when I arose in the morning. 1 had no appetite and food did not taste good or agree with me, but made me siek to my stomach often causing me to vomit, l bad a great deal of headache and be came white ns marble. “I had two different doctors and was under their care for about, a year. One of them said I had dropsy, while the other called it consumption, but neither helped me. One day 1 happened to read in a pamphlet of a case similar to mine cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and urged mother to let me try just one box, which she did. The benefit was so encouraging that I took several box es more. They built up my strength at once and I felt better every day. I was soon cured and have been healthy in every way since and am willing to give Pink Pills the credit.” So general is the success of Dr. Wil liams’ Pink Pills in curing anaemia that it may be safely stated that they are the most certain remedy for all conditions of thin, weak and watery blood. They are also a tonic for the nerves and have cured indigestion and general debility, where the stomach and other organs of the body are weakened and disordered simply through lack of proper nourishment. They have also hoi it especially successful in curing anaemia, rheumatism, after-effects of tin grip and fevers. A pamphlet on “Diseases of the Flood" and a copy of our diet book will be sent free on request. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of prioe, r>0 cents per box; six boxes for $2..70, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. yesterday morning about getting out'.' You said you would got out so and so. and went up in the yard and fussed around.” And he said that on account of this conversation, somewhat heated, with the train dispatcher, he felt in a hurry to get out of the yard and get to t'linton. and he forgot about train No. ^8. Conductor Dunbar and Knginoer Thayer of No. 301 both admit that they were to blame for starting out without knowledge as to where No. 28 was, hut Dunbar says that when the train dis patcher told him to get to Clinton as quick as he could and let one of the special engines out on No. 11. lie started as soon as he could, not thinking any thing about No. 2S, as No. 28 was two hours over-due. Mr. William Porter, the train dis patcher, who gave the order to Conduc tor Dunbar, practically admits this conversation, and says “I mentioned the fact that two days before, he (Dun bar) said h» was all ready to leave, and went down in the yard and stayed thort fifteen minutes, and spoiled a combina tion." He was asked “Did you tell him b g. *SpatHonapcnlia. sruii ,v„ ,.VM ,'0 w, pnWlnh B /.l’/TI. /;o czar (ft/ as he saw. th? formulas cr rii cm? raooiC.nt.t. t t axsgaaMMBeAaaaa si»aguBapfcipaaaBgi&ifc4«i MWauxtjaaaKBawgi m Losing flesh Discouraged?
