NOTJUILTY Says the Jury in Gase ol Ernest A. Petsold Accused of Murder of Lillie Holoo Brown, Pascoag, R. I. Jury Considers Case For Four Hours •••Petsold Discharged. Providence, R. I., Xov. 26.—A verdict of not guilty was returned by the jury late this afternoon in the trial of Ernest A. Petsold, charged with the murder of Helen A. Brown, a young child, at Pascoag Aug. 13 last. The jury occupied about four hours in con sidering the case and rendered its ver dict acquitting Petsold about 5 o’clock. The prisoner was immediately released and the jury discharged. Petsold gave himself up to the police last August, after a search for him following the discovery of the body of the child at his' home. According to the evidence the child's mother. Mrs. Brown frequently left her little one in Petsold's care while she made trips to Providence and other places, and on the occasions of the child’s death she had been absent from home several days. The prosecution endeavored to show that the death of the child was due to severe punishment inflicted by Petsold, but the respondent in his tes timony on the witness stand yesterday afternoon said that after he had re turned from the postefflce Aug. 12, hav ing expected to receive a letter from Mrs. Prawn he was unable to find the child in the house, but after a search found her lying prostrate on the ground under an apple tree near the house, t-he was unconscious and re mained in this condition until, the next morning, when she partially aroused from her stupor. Petsold testified that he sent for a physician after that, but before the doctor arrived the child died. Petsold testified that the child's death so unnerved him that he felt himself unable to face the mother and left the house, wandering about the country for several days. Once he at tempted suicide by drinking some paris green hut took too large a dose so that it acted as an emetic and he recovered, letter he read in the newspapers that he was suspected of having caused the child's death, and going to Pascoag he gave himself up to the authorities. Pet sold denied that he had ever threatened the child's life. CONDENSED DISPATCHES. S. M. Felton, president of the Chicago Alton Railroad, was Tuesday elected president of the Mexican Central Rail road Co.

Pollard was 26 years old and had been connected with the rubber company for five years. The Chicago city council Monday night by unanimous vote asked the Chicago Law and Order League to abandon its campaign against Sunday saloons and let the question be sub mitted to a vote of the citizens at the next election. In the same resolution the aldermen assert that the Sunday closing law now on the statute books is "obsolete.” The resolution was adopted without debate.

THE RIGHT MEDICINE FOR PELVIC TROUBLES FOUND IN PE RU-NA. MRS CAROLIN E KRAMER. Fort Collins. Col., writes: j “The majority of women who are suf fering from disordered periods and other pelvic troubles, have such strong faith in doctors that they allow them to experiment on them for kidney, liver or stomach troubles until they become completely discouraged and their money is gone. "This was my unfortunate expe* rlence for nearly tv/o years when my attention was called to Peruna. “1 hardly dared believe that at last I bad found the right medicine, but as kept on using it and was tinally cured, I could only thank God and take cour age. "I have had most satisfying result# lioin the use or vour medicine and have •d vised dozens of women who were suf fering with woman's ills to use Peruna J and let the doctors alone. j “Those who followed rny advice ar« I better today and many are fully restored to health.’’ Mrs. Wilda Mooers, R. F.

"I used different remedies, but; found no relief until l had tried Peruna, j “Within two weeks there wasachange tor the better and in less than three months I was a well and happy woman. “Ail the praise is due to Peruna.’’ Ask Your Druggist for Free Peruna Almanac for 1908.

Chandler the Son of Well known People in Winthrop. Winthrop, Me., Nov. 26.—(Special).— The few persons, who tonight learned of the death by shooting in New York Tuesday of Win. (1. Chandler, were shocked when they were given to un derstand that it was the Chandler of that name who lived in this place. His family had tonight heard nothing of the tragedy. William ('handler was about 23 years of age, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Gorham A. ('handler of No. 4 Morton street. The father is employed in tiie C. M. Bailey.Sons Co. oil cloth fac tory at Winthrop Center. Three sta ters also survive, Lucia, a teacher in Stoughton, Mass.; Mrs. Setli E. Webb of Winthrop, and Mrs. Nellie Chandler Jennings of Augusta. Young Chandler was a graduate of tile Winthrop High school and has lived at home, with the exception of time passed in art studios, he being an artist of unusual natural ability. He studied last year in a New York Art school and also went there this fall. Nothing is known here of any dif ficulty with his father or family and his father's connection with the oil cloth business is simply that of an em ploye, so that the young man’s story must have been told for a purpose of his own. FLEECING IMMIGRANTS. Strong Evidence Against New York Employment Agencies. Boston, Nov. 26.—Charging that New York City employment agencies have been lleeeing hundreds of immigrants and have sent them to Boston to he left Imre stranded and starving, Deputy Chief Inspector of Licenses Charles Simon of New York has boon in Boston the past few days securing evidence against the New York agencies. Inspector Simon left tonight for New York, taking with him several immi grants who had been sent here from that city as witnesses. It is claimed that the New York agencies collected various sums from immigrants who wished to work their passage across the ocean on cattle steamers and in exchange furnished them with papers, which they were un able to read or understand, which pur ported to bo orders on Boston agencies for their passage. In a great many cases it is claimed the papers were bogus. The arrival of the Donaldson Line steamer Atlienia at St. John. N. B„ from Glasgow Tuesday with 300 pas sengers and a large general cargo brought the number of steamers in this port affected by the longshoremen's strike up to live. The steamers are being worked by their crews and it is the intention of the steamship officials to bring in outside labor if the local longshoremen persist in their refusal to return to work for less than 40 cents an hour. Mrs. Sarah Watson Dana, wife of the late Richard Henry Dana, Jr., the fa mous author of “Two Years Before the Mast.” and other works, died at her home In Cambridge Tuesday, aged 93 years. Mrs. Dana was the daughter of William Watson of Hartford. Ct. She was the mother of Richard Henry Dana. the well-known r former, who married l om.* Kdi,h Lous' llov daughter of the poet.

DOINGS IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS. MOTBILL. Burr Seems Sore Thing For Harvard Captaincy. Indians ChooseWaseuka Leader -Middies Practice Hard. Army Eleven Selects New Mascot*** Jones Prays For Grit. Cambridge, Mass Nov 2C.—Now that the active playing season is over at Harvard, the football enthusiasts among the undergraduates are anxious ly awaitinR the choice of the Harvard football captain There is very little doubl that Francis Burr will be the man who will lead the Crimson grid iron warriors next frill Burr made the Harvard ’Varsity his Freslimsn year, and has played on it ever since He is now a Junior. In his Freshman year he came down to Har vard from Andover, practically un known, as he had never played football at that school His wonderful build, however, and his fine kicking soon made him a conspicuous figure on the Freshman squad, and he was taken up onto the ’Varsity without delay. He played left guard. Last year Burr was again found at left guard on the Harvard team. This season he was moved out to tackle, with the idea of getting more use of Ids speed and strength. But the change did not work well in many ways. Burr is a highly nervous man, and the un familiarity with his new play hurt his general game a good deal Burr is very popular at Harvard, having been chosen {president of his Freshman class. He is prominent ip Harvard’s social life, being a member of the Institute of 1770 the D. K. FI the ?pl.inx and the A D Clubs WASF.NKA IS CAPTAIN. Cheyenne Indian Will Lead Carlisle Eleven Next Year.

Carlisle, Pa., Nov 20.—The Car lisle Indian football squad arrived home Monday from their Western triupmhs, having completed the most successful season of football ever played by a representative Carlisle team. An unexpected feature of the return trip was the election on the train of Emil Waseuka, an Oklahoma Indian, who lias played left tackle with Carlisle for two years, as Indian foot ball captain for netx year. Waseuka has finished playing his second year at Carlisle, and is not only popular ■with his fellow-players and well liked by every one at Carlisle, but is a young man of high intelligence and has the making of one of the best captains t'arlisle has had. Waseuka is a Cheyenne Indian, ■weighs about 190 pounds, and is 5 feet K inches tall. He has a remarkably genial disposition, which accounts to come extent for his popularity. His talents are not confined to football, as lie is one of the best baseball catchers tha has ever worn a mask here MIDDIES AT PRACTICE. Working Hard to Get Into Shape For Game With West Point. Annapolis, Nov. 116—The Naval Academy football team began its last ■week of practice Monday afternoon With a spirit of determination to cor rect tire faults that have shown them selves during the season and perfect the plays which are relied upon to se cure a victory over West Point. The lineup for the final game has not been definitely announced, but Head Coach Reeves said tonight that it would bo much the same as that which started in the game against Virginia Poly technic Institute A NEW MASCOT. •‘Taddy Bear” Will Supplant the An cient Goat at West Point. West Point, Nov. 26.—There was no practice Monday and Trainer Tem ple took the men for a five-mile tramp through the mountains. The storm had made the field dangerous with its cov ering of slush and the coaches were afraid to take the risk of injury. The playing of Mount ford In the Syracuse game Saturday should give him first call at quarter, but the coaches would not say positively as yet whether they will try Kern or Garey as first sub. Kern’s work in the Syracuse game was not up to what had been expected of him and especially his work with the forward pass. Beavers Is punting in fine form and there should be a merry battle between him and Douglas next Saturday, If the Army kicker dis plays the form he did against Syra cuse, when he averaged 6f> and booted a long one 75 yards. This year the Army mule has been relegated to the rear rank and a “Teddy bear” will be the mascot if Capt. O’Horn can locate a satisfac tory bruin. Several have been offered, guaranteed to be gentle, but the cadets are taking no chances of their mascot taking a gallop across the gridiron and making a meal of the Navy goat. TAD JONES PRAYED. Offered Prayer For Strength to Play Against Harvard. New Haven, Nov. 26.—The Regis ter says: An unusual and impressive feature of the dinner of the Tale team after the Harvard game in Boston Sat urday night was the statement made by Tad Jones in the course or his speech that he had prayed for strength against Harvard on the morning be fore the game. Jones is a leader in re ligious life at Tale. It became known after the game that Jones was on the verge of a phy Boxing. Rockland.

New York, Nov. 26—Jim Donovan of England evened up with Jack Robin son of Chicago for a previous beating by outpointing the Westerner in the six-round wind-up at Billy Elmer's Consolidated A. C. Monday night. Rob inson was clever, but frequently a tar get for Donovan's straight lefts. Dono van once floored Robinson. An ama teur, posing under the name "Young Cunningham,” tried to earn some money against Kid .Mahoney. After Mahoney bail landed three times on Cunningham's jaw the ambitious ath lete couldn’t get out of the ring quick enough WINS ON POINTS. Johnny Dohan, Emergency Man, Has Best cf Dick Grant. New York, Nov. 26.—Johnny Do han of Brooklyn substituted for Dick Nelson against Dick Grant in the final bout at the Dry Dock A C. Monday night and won on points.

Pat McCloskey and A1 Schumacher fought a draw, and Charlie Goldman and Griff Jones fought so fast that neither had a punch at the end of a four-round draw. GUNTHER BESTS DONOVAN. Australian Proves Too Clever For Man From Rochester. Philadelphia, Nov. 26.—George Gun ther, the Australian middleweight, barely outpointed Mike Donovan of Rochester, in six rounds at the Spring Garden A. C, Monday night. There was little to choose between the men in height, weight and reach, but Gunther was the more clever of the two, and his skill in avoiding the bulldog rushes of his opponent and block his vicious leads, earned him the decision. Beebe and Britton Draw. Wilkesbarre, Penn., Nov. 26.—Kid Beebe of Philadelphia and Jack Britton of Chicago boxed a six-round draw be fore the Peerless Athletic Club Mon day night.

In recent years, since cotton mills became numerous in parts of the South, much has been said about child labor in that section. The problem has receded much attention, both North 'and South, and much has been written about (be evils of the situation. Now we are told, on what seems to be the best authority, that matters have been much exaggerated and that there is less child labor in the South than here in New England. The Charleston News and Courier refers to an exhaustive re port on the South Carolina cotton mills by August Kuhn, vouching for the character of the man and the accuracy of his work. By actual count Mr. Kohn shows that there are employed in the mills of that state 38,860 operatives, and among them only 495 children under twelve. 2S!> boys and 2'>6 girls, or 1 1-4 -per cent, of the mill workers of the State, or one in every 7.8. There may be three times the number ascertained, but even so the condition is not what it has been represented. Aud in no cases do managers encourage child labor, being careful to exclude it as far as they can. VV. E. Curtis reports in the Chicago Record-Herald that men and women are now in ttie southern states investi gating tlie question for the department of Commerce and Labor. Mill owners at Charlotte, N. C., tell aim that the whole subject has been greatly exag gerated as to its extent and iniquity. In North Carolina employment under 13 is forbidden. In all the cotton mills south of the Potomac there are about 1.45,400 operatives, of whom between 5 and 6 per cent, or from 6,000 to 7,000 are children, nearly equally divided as to sex. The work of the boys, to gather the bobbins, is light and done at inter vals. The work of the girls, to piece the threads is harder, and calis for continuous work 12 hours a day with 45 minutes at noon for lunch. The pay is from 65 cents to $1 a day. The boys get from 50 to 75 cents. There are good managers and bad. but all prefer labor from children more than 16 years old. as younger labor Is not profitable. And for years the Cot ton Manufacturers’ Association of the South lias advocated a compulsory edu cational law, which will keep the children out of the* mills. In many towns the mills give money to supple rnrnt file school tax so that the usual school year of four months may be cx terided to eight. The same men do be lieve, however, in children working in vacation, as they say if left to idleness they deterioate. Here, as in other large manufacturing regions, it is tin parents that do most to force too young iliildrcn into Hie mills. There is en couragement in knowing that tile situ ation is not so black as it lias been painted. There will tie less in it to be reformed. Congressman Fowler cannot seriously expect that his committee will be able P■ formulate any measure for securing laslieity in the currency that win tuny atisfy every bodv, where so many dir eri nt views prevail. If. however, his ommittoe presents one that will secure lie practical results desired, it will be ill that any man who desires currency eform i an reasonably expect. Wliat ver ua a si i re is finally reported from he committee will be the result of care til conference representing the business iews and lb" business interests of “very section of the country. fiidoubttdly Mr. Bryan can secure to re lecture engagements as a presi 1 utial candidate than would he possi ble as an ex-office-holder, arid lecture "iigagei'ients with him have been money makers. He is a good speaker, but comparatively few of the voters who have listened to him have deemed him a safe man to vote for. Chief of Police Shippey of Chicago declares that there is no organization nf blackhands in that city. There are pbnty of individuals that will answer tli.it description, but they are simply exai.ip'esof negligence in the matter of personal neatness. The Washington Star declares that Mr. Foraker seems content to conduct his boom for the present with local talent. There are some booms that do not seem able to command even that support. It must be admitted that one of the new treasury certificates would make a specially good gift just now. The. re ceiver would also be able to use it in Christmas shopping, as the chances are that they will readily pass current as The women in the state of Alabama do not have the right of personal suf frage, but they have demonstrated their ability to largely control and di rect votes of their husbands, sons and brothels. An Indiana man drew his money from the bank and'hid it in the hog pen. where it was found and chewed up by the porkers. He is doing most of the squealing these days. -Southern Republicans." declares the Washington Star, "are undoubtedly for Roosevelt.” The same may be said w ith equal truth of Republicans in the three other sections of the country. Should Deal Fairly With the Railroads. The railway systems of the United Slates cost two or three times as much to build and eiiuip as the railroads of other countries. They provide an in finitely better service to the public at fares from one-half to one-third as great as those charged in European countries, and pay on an average about twice the wage scale that is paid abroad. These are facts that the American people should 4teep in mind. They should also recognize the im portant part which our railroads have borne in the development of the coun try’s resources, and the advancement of Us material prosperity. In no point can predatory legislation unsettle pub lic confidence more quickly than when it is directed against our great sys tems of railroads whose stockholders are to be found in every section of .the country, and which reflect more quick ly than any other business enterprises the spirit of confidence and progress that constitutes the very life-blood of the nation’s growth along lines of per manent development and prosperity. Food Adulteration Passing Away. Dr. Wiley, the able head of tile Ltu rtau of Chemistry of the Department of Agriculture at Washington, de clares that since the pure food law went into effect many of the worst of fenders against its provisions have re formed and that these products throughout the country are now upon a better basis than ever before, with conditions constantly improving. This announcement will be good news to the American people. It also shows that the manufacturers of food products had' no need to resort to dishonorable practices in order to do a prosperous business. In fact, the largest and most successful manufacturers of food products have invariably been those who have spurned the crime of adul teration and have buijt up their suc cess solely upon the absolute purity of their output. When the $7^,000,000 in gold from Europe has all been delivered to our banks, this country will have received back all the gold coin which has b.-en carried abroad this year in the pockets of American tourists and a considerable amount beside*. The United States lias today the largest amount of money of any nation of the world, there being at the present time about $26 per capita as against about $22 per capita in England and Germany. President Castro of Venezuela must be a very sick man. It lias been some, months now since he lias had any trouble with a foreign power or any revolution to deal with at home. Upon second thought Mobile has con cluded to secede from Alabama. We suspected that a little mature reflec tion would bring it to that sensible view of tilings. VOICES OF THE PRESS.

It is therefore evident that any real or permanent help must come from ourselves, and we will soon need it sorely. I No just man denies—certainly not I —that timber property must pay its share of the taxes, and benefit from its share of the taxes. But every thinking man. seeing the tremendous speed with which a timber famine is coming, knows that, unless it be arrested, the loss and suffering to all will be beyond belief, and that no amount of taxes possible to raise would begin to pay for it. A log tax will not decrease the State’s income—the reverse rather—nor will it alter the actual source from which that income comes.

Bates Students Will Enjoy Them* selves Thanksgiving Eve. Brunswick, Me., Nov. 20.—(Special).— In a heavy mixture of mud and snow, the Sophomore and Freshmen football ■teams battled to a tie on the Delta this afternoon. The poor condition of the !field made fast playing impossible and fumbling1 was frequent on both teams, j The Sophomore team showed more strength than the Freshmen, but at 'critical times they were either held or fumbled The Freshmen team played 'a surprisingly strong game, considering the lact that it was deprived of four of its best players, by warnings from the faculty, which were given out to day. The Sophomores were twice within striking distance of the Freshmen*!* goal, while their goal line was never seriously threatened. The Freshmen did not have any consistent offence, and seldom during the game made first down. The feature of the game was the all round playing of Newman, the 'Varsity tackle, who has been assigned a posi tion on the All-Maine eleven. His line bucking always netted from five to 15 yards and once on an end run. he dodged and shook oft nearly the whole Freshmen eleven, making a gain of 25 yards. Richards, who played left half on the Freshmen team, was their best ground gainer, once making a run of 25 yards, through a broken field. For the Sophomores, Newman, Wand tue, Nulty and Stone played the best game \vhile Captain Hichborn, Kearn, and Richards excelled for the Fresli men. Tlie summary: SOPHOMORES. FRESHMEN. Russell.
