GILLETTE’S CASE Before New York’s High est Court on Appeal. Ariumenls Both For and Against Conviction Heard. CmrmI For Otftnet Wants Brace Brown's Loiters Barred. Albany, N. Y.. Jan. 9.—A new trial for Cheater Gillette, on the gTound of nearly ft dozen errors of law in the trial which resulted in his conviction and sentence of death for the alleged murder of his sweetheart, Grace, or "Billy” Brown of South Otselic. Che nango county, at Big Moose lake in the Adirondacks on July 11, 1906, was asked of the court of anpealB today by Ex-Senator A. M. Mills of Little Palls, who has been Gillette'.'; counsel since his arrest. The appeal is opposed by George W. Ward of Dolgeville. who was district attorney of Herkimer at the time of the alleged murder and of the trial which was held at an extra ordinary term of the supreme court ordered for the purpose by the late Gov. Higgins. Three hours were consumed by the argument of Ex-Senator Mills and Mr. Ward had Just begun his argument when the court adjourned for the day continuing the hearing until tomorrow. There was a. large crowd in the court romn, including several women. There were no dramatic features. Gillette is charged with having en ticed Mies Brown who was about to become the mother of a child of which he has never denied the paternity, to Big Moose Lake In the Adirondacks in July, 1006; taking her out in a boat to a lonely part of the lake, and as dusk waH falling, striking her on the head and face with his tennis racquet or some other weapon, and throwing V*. ••.itAMKelntin Lrulir inl/i tllil ll'fl t*»r where- It Is alleged, drowning com pleted the work of murder. The de fence was that after a desperate can vassing of their plight, the girl in despair, suddenly arose exclaiming “I will end It all" and before her com panion could prevent, leaped Into the water, overturning the boat as she jumped. Gillette Haid that he was un able to rescue her. The feature of the trial which at tracted widespread attention was the reading of a series of extraordinarily pathetic letters written by Grace Brown to Gillette. She was 29 years old and worked in a factory conducted by a relative of Gillette, who also worked for a time in the same place and be came acquainted with her there. They became intimate, and In the late spring of 1906, her condition made exposure Increasingly certain. By these letters, the prosecution sought to show that the girl believed Gillette was about to take her away from home and marry her. and in them was claimed to ap pear the motive for the alleged murder. Benntcr Mills nreuimr before the court for the defendant-appellant, contended that it was an error to receive in evi dence the letters of Ora-'e Brown in view of her condition at the time thev were written; that when excerpts from these letters were read to the Jury It was for the purpose of creat ing a dramatic effect upon them; that the Jury was stirred by emotion and ceme to a verdict of guilty through an Irrepressible tide of feeling to which no harrier or warning was internosed except such remarks as the defendant's counsel could make. Senator Mills said also that it was erroneoua to receive in evidence thf statement of employes at the factorv where the girl was emnloye-t, these statements helng made, he contended, long before the occurrence charged In the indictment. He a'so declared it an srmr to submit to the Jury strand* of hair which were found tangled In cleats of the overturned boat, and to permit them to speculate as to its Identity. He further questioned the legality of the extraordinary term of the court appointed by Governor Hig gins to trv Gillette, contending that tt was not constitutionally organized. Mr. Word sought to controvert the points raised by Mr. Mills, upholding the legality of each. “The evidence." said he in part, "leave* no escane lor the conviction that, the defendant committed the crime of murder with premeditation. RvOry tact proven pointed with more or less directness to his guilt of the crime charged In the Indictment." "Tf Innocent." Mr. Ward arsed in conclusion. “It was his misfortune to voluntarily environ himself in a net work of circumstances which to the minds of Intelligent men required to reach results by rational processes, could admit no other conclusion than that of guilty. "Applying the rigorous rule insisted tiron hv the defendant's counsel, that the facts must he of such a character that they cannot lx* accounted for upon any other hypothesis than that of th" criminality of the accused, and must demonstrate to a moral certainty that a crime has been committed and that he was Its author, we think th« vir dlct In this case is impregnable." ONLY SLIGHTLY DAMAGED. If Waathir Hold* Good Steamer Maaaaaoit Will Ba Floated. Machiasport. Me.. Jan. 9.—The freight steamer Massasoit of the Maine Coast Transportation Co., which was j blown ashore in the harbor at Cutler yesterday morning, will not be floated until the next high run of tides, which will be in two weeks.

The bishop of the new diocese will be a suffragan to the Chicago nr diocese, making four suffragan Wshopa In the state where now there are only three. v. ANOTHER JUROR. (Continued from. Page One.) that this fact would not influence him in reaching a verdict. Robert M. VanDyke. a clerk, was the third Juror to qualify after luncheon. Mr. I.ltlleton spent nearly 30 minutes in examining the juror before announc ing his acceptance. George Jeremiah, an insurance agent, seemed about to enter the jury box when Mr. Littleton used his 16th chal lenge against him. Mr. Jerome re taliated later on by using the peoples' 12th challenge against Edward C. Gray, who had seemingly qualified satisfac torily after a long examination. It was not until William F. Doolittle, the 62d talesman called today, had been reached that another juror passed into the box. Mr. Doolittle ia chief clerk in the auditing department of the New Tork Central Railroad. The opinion he entertained, he said, was not worth consideration because he had net closely followed the case. It remained for Patrick McCue, an elderly manufacturer of hats, to startle the nearly deserted court room by an nouncing in replv to questions that he had never heard of the Thaw case. He was quickly accepted as a tem porary juror by hoth sides. Wesley Gray Gilmore, a packing box manu facturer. caused the defence to use its 17th peremptory challenge, and James H. Moran, a painter, caused the prose cution to use Its 13th challenge. The day’s sunply of talesmen having hern exhausted Justice Dowling order ed a recess of lf> minutes to enable the attorneys to consult as to further challenges. The result was that four of the five temporary jurors went out on challenges. Stuart, at No. 7. left *be box by consent. District Attornev Jerome challenged MeT’ne. and the de fence excused Walls at No S, and Van m-ke at No. 0. Juror William F. Doo little was made a permanent juror and received the onth of service. It was 6 P. M. when court adjourn ed until tomorrow. WILL IGNORE IT, New Yorker Served in Ohio With Summons as a Thaw Juror. Columbus, O.. Jan. 9.—Bond F.

TAFT ANSWERS. Tells Where He Stands on Injunction Question. Power to Issue Ex-Parle In junction Hurts the Laborer. Thinks Appearanoe of Justice Im portant In the Courts. Martins Ferry, Ohio, Jan. a.—The views of W illiain H. Taft, secretary of war, in regard to the use and abuse of injunctions, are stated in a letter in reply to questions propounded by Llewellyn Lewis, secretary of the Ohio Federation of Labor, given out here today. Secretary Taft prefaces his statement with a declaration that he believes “it to be highly beneficial and entirely lawful for laborers to unite in their common interests.” Proceeding directly to the answer of the questions propounded he says: “First, you ask me what I would think of an enactment of a law defin ing the cases in which a temporary re straining order may Issue, and defining In specific terms the language in which such order may be framed. I see no ot jecti-ms to the enactment of a statute which -shall define the rights of labor ers In their controversies with their former employers. As this statute would fix the full limits of their action it would necessarily furnish a definite rule for determining the cases in which injunctions might issue, as well as their character and scope. "Tt should be said that this statute, however, if enacted by Congress could relate only to the District of Columbia or some place within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal government or to those employers and employes whose relations are within congression al definition and control. Osnerally the law governing the relations be tween employer and employ is a state law and is only enforced in the federal courts when the jurisdiction arises ny reason of the diverse citizenship of the pa rties. “Speaking; generally, however, both as to federal and state legislation. T see no objection to a statute which shall so far as possible detine the rights of both parlies in such controversies more accurately. Indeed, the more ex actly the law of the limitations on the actions of both parties are understood, the belter for them and for the public. “Second—You ask me what I think or a provision that no restraining or der or injunction shall issue, except after notice to the defendant and a hearing had. This was the rule under the federal statutes for many years, hut it was subsequently abolished. In the class of cases to which vou refer T do not see any objection to the re enactment of that federal statute. In deed I have taken occasion to say in public speeches that the power to is sue injunctions ex parte has given rise to certain abuses and Injustice to the laborers engaged in a peaceable strike. "Men leave employment on a strike; counsel for the employer applies to a judge and presents an aflidavit aver ing fear of threatened violence and and making such a case on the ex parte statement that the judge feels called upon to issue a temporary restraining order. The temporary restraining or der is served on all the strikers: they are not lawyers; their fears are ahoun ed by the process with which they arc not acquainted and although their purpose may have been entirely law ful. their common determination to carry through the strike is weakened by an order whieh they have never had an opportunity to question and which is calculated to discourage their proceeding in their original purpose. To avoid this Injunction I believe, ns I lmve already said, that the federal statutes might well he made what it was originally, requiring notice and a hearing before an injunction issues. "Third—In answer to your third ques tion, it would seem that it is necessary to impose anv limitation as to the time for a final hearing if, before an induction can issue at all. notice and hearing must be given. The third question is relevant and proper only should the power of is suing ex-parte injunctions be retained in it eminently proper that tlie statute should require the court issuing an ex ports injunction to give the person against whom the injunction was issued an opportunity to have a hearing there of within a very short space of time, not to exceed, I should say, three or four days. "Fourth—Your fourth query is in effect what I would think cf a provision in such cases by which the contemnor—that is. the person charged with the violation of nn order of injunction—might object to the judge who issued the injunction, as tho one to try the issue, whether the Injunction had been violated, and to tlx punishment in case of conviction, and thereby require another judge to try the issue and impose sentence if necessary. "In federal courts in such a case it would he proper to provido that the sen ior circuit Judge of the circuit should, upon tho application of the defendant or contemnor. designate another district or circuit judge to sit and hear the issue presented. I do not think such a restric tion would he unreasonable. In most cases it would be unnecessary. But T ad mit that there is a popular feeling that In contempt proceedings and the very name of the proceeding suggests if. that the judge Issuing the injunction has a personal sensitiveness in respect to its violation and. therefore, that ho does not bring to the trial of the issue presented hv the charge of contempt of his order the calm judicial mind which insures jus tice. I think that this popular feeling is in most cases unfounded, but I believe that it is better, where it can be done without injuring the authority of the court and the efficiency of its process, to grant such a privilege to the contemnor and thus avoid an appearance of injustice even at seme inconvenience in the matter of securing another Judge. "There is some analog}-, though it is not complete, between thr exclusion of a judge from sitting In the court of appeals to review a decision of his own. which now obtains in the practice of the federal court of appeals by statute and the pres ent suggested one. Tt is of th highest importance that tlie authority of the court to enforce its own orders effectively should not be weakened, and therefore I 1 am opposed to the Intervention of a jury between the court’s decree, and its en forcement by contempt proceedings. It would hiean long delay and greatly weak en the authority of the court. 1 do not think that the permission to change the judge, however, would constitute either serious delay or injure the efficiency of the order, while it may secure greater public confidence in the justice of the court's action. The appearance of jus tice is almost as important as the ex istence of it in the administration of the courts. "Sincerely yours. (Signed) -WILLIAM If. TAFT.” TAFT ASSOCIATION Formed Thursday by the Republicans Of New Hampshire. Concord. N. H., Jan. 9.—About 150 Republicans in various parts of the state met here today and formed the Taft Association of New Hampshire. Former Governor Frank W. Rollins of this city presided at the meeting, which was held in a hall on North Main street. He was chosen president of the new association and four vice presi dents and an executive committee of 12 members were also elected. Letters were read at the meeting from United States Senators Gallagher and Burnham and Congressman Cur rier and Sulloway expressing disap proval of the meeting on the ground that it was unwise for the party to place itself on record at this time in favor of any one candidate. Many other letters were read endorsing Taft and pledging membership in the asso ciation. Frank P. Rowell, of Newport, pro vided somewhat of a sensation by de claring that those responsible for the meeting had personal axes to grind and that its ulterior motive was the election of Frank S. Streeter of this city as a United States senator to suc ceed Jacob H. Gallagher. This was de nied by Former Governor Rollins, who said he was a supporter of Senator Gallagher's opposition to Roosevelt policies. Other speakers were For mer State Senator Daniel C. Remick of Littleton and Representative Fran cis H. Bussum, of Winchester. The meeting adopted resolutions fa voring a continuance of New Hamp shire's custom of sending unpledged delegates to the national convention. A movement has recently been on foot tion specifically instruct delegates as to their action at the national convention. A motion was also carried to invite Secretary Taft to address New Hamp shire people some time in February. NEBRASKA FOR TAFT. Republican State Committee Endorses Him With One Dissenting Vote.

ABOUT $1500 SHORTAGE Alleged in Portland Liquor Agency Amounts—Agent O’Connor Resigns. Portland. Mo., Jan. 9.—Tre resigna tion yesterday of Peter O'Connor as city liquor agent, the acceptance of his resignation by the Board of Aldermen and the statement by County Attorney Connolly that he would summon the members of the liquor agency commit tee before the grand jury to testify to the resultH of their investigation into the accounts of the agency added a new and very spicy chapter to the book of municipal affairs: a chapter that gives promise of even more interesting reading to come. The resignation followed an investi gation into the accounts of the agency, which investigation, according to a statement made by Alderman Bout well. chairman of the committee on agencies, showed a deficit of approxi mately Sir.OO for the seven months Mr. O'Connor has been agent. These fig ures have not been verified by an au ditor and an examination by an expert bookkeeper may show a different re sult. The sales for seven months have been approximately $14,000.

IromjoxIT Brisk Fire This Morning, Early, in Locke’s Store. Oamage Will Be Considerable From Fire, Water, Smoke. Morrill’s Barber Shop, Blllodeau’r Store and Hotel North Smoked. Oflicer Ira Foster while patrolling Water street at 2.10 o'clock this morn ing discovered smoke coming from the grocery and market of Edson Boeke at No! 270 Water street anil glancing under the curtain in the- doorway at the front of the establishment learned that a brisk blaze was in progress in side the place. He promptly pulled in an alarm from Box 35, to which Hook Ladder No. 1 and Atlantic Hose re sponded. Two streams were turned on at once and it was but a short time be fore the (lames were under control. The stock of groceries was badly damaged, a large part of them being ruined. The damage by water and smoke was much greater than that by fire, it being nec essary to thoroughlv flood the estab lishment in order to extinguish the tlames. The great volumes of stnoke which poured from the front of the store caused considerable alarm among the guests at the Hotel North, a part of which is directly over the T,ocko store. Some of them hustled into their clothes and hurried to the street, but as soon as they learned that the hotel was in no danger returned to their rooms. The fire started on the street floor, north side, in the main portion of the floor, behind the counter. It spread rapidly and burned through the floor UII limv -71 also scorched and some of the poods were burned. The adjoining establish ment. Henry Morrill's barber shop, was tilled with smoke, blit no very serious damage was done. The shoe store of J. F. Bilodeau suf fered some from smoke and water, but the extent of the damage could not be learned. Smoke penetrated the Hotel North but did practically no damage. Mr. Liocke’s loss is covered by insur ance through the agency of Macomber, Farr Whitten. The run made by the firemen was a remarkable quick one. Several lines of hose were laid within a very short time after the alarm was rung in. but it was found that only two of them, one from the back end of the store and one from the front, were needed and the water was not turned into the other lines. ••All out" was pulled in at 3 A. M. A lady who was stopping fit Hotel North was convalescing from an opera tion for appendicitis. She was severely affected by the excitement and had to l>o removed from the building and medical aid summoned. THE HUGHES BOOM Launched at "Hughes Dollar Dinner” Last Night in New York. New York.

Address all communications relating to subscriptions and advertisements to BURLEIGH f’LTNT. Publishers, Augusta Maine. _ Friday, January 10, 1908. George Ade wants to be one of Indiana's delegates to the Chicago con vention, but it is not disclosed yet where the joke comes in. It will take more than leap year to relieve the situation in Massachusetts where there are SO,000 more women than men. The funniest thing which 1S08 has brought forth is William J. Bryan M.lemnly telling the country how to avoid financial panics. It is reported from Texas that several reputable citizens recently saw a flock of angels flying over that state. Not all the counties of that great com monwealth are yet in the prohibition eolumn. ftut in Spokane, Washington, they have organized a New 1 ingland asso ciation which contains 500 members who formerly lived in this part of the I'nion. Judging from the literature which it sends Hast, however, its or igin is not st» much due to loyalty to the old home states as to win settlers and seriousness, hut now they do not succeed in (Killing anyb >dy. tine newspaper. In its eagerness to Toid something to criticise in the voy age of ilie licet to the Pacific, petulant ly inquired why the commander of the fleet should he known as "Fighting Bob." “By what historical feat of arms," it sneeringly inquires, "did this gentleman ever earn such a sobri quet V" That editor must be glaringly deficient In bis knowledge of American history. The popular name of "Fight ing l!ol>" is not of Admiral Evans’ choosing but it was given him by ad miring comrades a generation ago. and not without justification. Although a native of Virginia lie remained loyal to tne Union when his family threw their interests with the Confederacy, ntul as a boy of 17 be took part in sev eral of the leading naval engagements of tiie Civil War. He participated in both attacks on Fort Fisher and in the second attack received four wounds, one of which gave him the limp which has ever since distinguished his gait. Evans commanded the Yorktown at Valparaiso in 1S91 and 1S92, and dur ing the war with Spain was in com mand of the Iowa and rendered con spicuous and gallant service in the battle at Santiago. At one time in that engagement the lire of the entire Spanish fleet was concentrated on his ship. He has well earned the nick name of "Fighting Bob" and it is a parsimonious and unpatriotic critic who will deny him the tribute implied in that title. Possibly he is yet des tined to win greater laurels. The “Night Rider*” of Kentucky. Let us have an understanding of what these "night riders" are who have been spreading terror and destroying life and property of late through sec tions of Kentucky. Their organization seems to be based upon that of the Ku-Klux which thrived in the South in the chaotic period following the Civjl War. The Ku-Klux, however, devoted most of its attention to terror izing the negroes while the color prob lem cuts no figure in the work of the Kentucky "night riders.” This later organization is the outcome of the long continued struggle between the so-call ed Tobacco Trust and the organization j which Kentucky planters have formed i for the protection of their own inter j ests. i The planters, naturally enough, de I «ire to get as high prices as possible for their products, while the trust of i course is anxious to secure its raw material at the lowest possible price. I it is what would be called in financial 'circles a war between bears and bulls, j in order to get high prices the planters i propose to reduce the marketable to I pat co crop to a minimum and Ip order I to do this they have resorted in sum nary and lawless fashion to the whole sale destruction of tobacco no; owned I by the members of their organization. In pursuance of this plan the band of masked "night riders" start out upon their midnight raids, sweeping down upon villages and tobacco plantations anti destroying well-fillet! warehouses and shooting anybody who interferes with their work. It is as though the Aroostook potato raisers, or a large part of them, should form an organization and in order to get higher prices for their products should destroy a part of their crop, particularly the crop of the farmers not Belonging to me organization. some thing oi' this kind was tried a few years ago in the S’outh in order to push up the price of cotton in a year when there was a particu larly large crop, but the project met such general opposition that it amount ed to little. Such an economic theory of controlling the markets is something relatively new and Kentucky is the on ly place where it has been at all ex tensively applied. The "night rider" raids began in the fall of loot;, and during 1907 there were four distinct raids on as many different towns, aggregating property destruction of over $500,000—the Hop kinsville raid, $200,404; file Princeton raid. $104,000; the Kddyville and Fre donia raids, $20,000; miscellaneous damages. $200,000. These reports of direct damages do not include the re sults of widespread terrorism, of which the “night riders" make no ac count, their prime object, being the im mediate destruction of property. This year there have been many raids and great damage. The officers of the as sociation deny that they encourage Mich lawlessness and there is reason to believe that the "night riders" them selves. who oja-iate with masks on their lanes ami fully armed, have no large personal interest in the tobacco crop. Inn are simply taking advantage of the situation to work off their per sonal revenge and their desire to pro mote lawlessness. It is a form of lawlessness that should he severe ly repressed. The situation is u. grave reproach to Kentucky and is one of numerous problems which that state has upon its hands for solution at the pr> sent time. The Bay State Flag. In Massachusetts, perhaps more Hum in any other slate of the t'nlon, they make a great deal of the state flag and are planning to make more of it. Many of the states have distinctive flags of their own, but they are little used and few oeonle are familiar with them. How many of our readers, for instance have ever seen the Maine flag or know what it is? In the old times j our State lias, like those of most of the I states, bore the Maine coat of arms on. ;t white field and such a fins was j carried by the Maine regiments along i with the national colors through the bloody years of the Civil War. A few years ago, however—in 1901, to be exact—a new State flag was authorized by the Maine Legislature. This flag lias a butt ground with a green pine tree in the center and a blue star in the j upper left-hand corner. It is a pretty flag enough, but is seldom seen and has no place in the hearts of our people. Hut in Massachusetts the state flag which of more ancient origin, flies always from the eapitol and is used by all militia organizations. In his inaugural address this year, 1 Governor Guild paid an eloquent tri bute to the Massachusetts flag and I made a plea for its more general use. His words are worth reading: “The white flag of Massachusetts, the emblem of the commonwealth, floats above a state house where one law after another has been framed that has been copied or imitated later by other slates or by the nation. Side by side with the national colors the stain i less flag of the bay state, with the Indian and the pine tree, has stood in the forefront of the battle line, and the dying eyes of the Massachusetts tolunteer have lighted at the sight oe {or(% they closed. The seal of the j commonwealth is established by 1 statute. The flag, its ancient emblems j dating back, to the foundation of the original colony, exists only as the re sult of executive orders, dependent alone on the commander-in-chief. "I ask you that the flag as it at pres ent exists be preserved forever by statute, that is may never be changed by the whhn of a governor, as It now at any time may be, but only by permls sion of the people, through tlieir repre sentatives. "I further ask you that in future every public armory, arsenal, hospital, every institution of Massachusetts, be ordered to fly the white flag of the commonwealth, that the emblem may remind every state official of his responsibility; that it may inspire those who work beneath its folds to uphold our ancient traditions and ideals; that the passing traveler, at tracted by the sight, may understand that not only the soldier, but the ignorant, the unfortunate, the diseased, the afflicted have no truer friends on earth than the people of the common wealth of Massachusetts.” It looks as if New York might be forced to another bond issue before it sees the last of the Thaw trial.

County Attorney Young of Somerset bases his objection to the recognition of the special Sturgis law attorney on the ground that it amounts to removal from office, at least in part, of the county attorney elected by th“ people, and that the only constitutional method for the removal of a civil offi cer is by impeachment. This appears to iiQ the case, in event of contesting the appointment on constitutional grounds. Judge Cornish is not tiie I-aw court and the Sturgis law has not been adjudged unconstitutional; hence as a matter of course he. recognized the statute and the appointment as valid. If Mr. Young has doubt of the validity of the law, he. should take it to the court by all means, though the conten tion that he has been removed from of fice. in any degree seems rather ft nar row one. when as a matter of fact he is still in office, drawing his salary and performing his duties except so far as he has been relieved of them in tlie prosecution of liquor cases. “Fresh” Eggs That Are Stale. (Maine Farmer.) iceeent conversation wttn leaums grocers in this city, furnished damag ing testimony against some of the farmers in the territory adjacent here to concerning the marketing of eggs. The grocers in question asserted that the practice being followed by certain farmers is to hold the eggs produced during the fall to market in the early winter at the advanced price thfn pre vailing. A considerable quantity of eggs said to be fresh has proved nc better than the stored case eggs. In consequence, customers have gone to using the case eggs with the result that there has been a distinctly lessened de mand for eggs Known to be strictly fresh and the price has necissari'y dropped. This too, when the supply of high-class? eggs would have been scarcely up to demand under a fair and just mode of sale by producers. To whatever extent such deceit is practiced, it is bad business and hurts the industry as well as the character of those engaging in stitch sharp prac tices. The evident remedy is for egg producers to market their product di rect to private customers, where re sponsibility cannot be misplaced. VOICES OF THE PRESS. National Antiquities. (New York Post.) New letters of Washington’s, the flag of the shiti which Oapt. Lawrence did not live to see given up, and the mantel before which Kdgar Allan Poe wrote the “Haven," call attention to a remarkable season of discovery, or at least popular discovery, of valuable historical relics. Wc exclude such for eign triumphs as the unearthing of Menander papyri, or the recovery of j lost sayings of Jesus. These fall with i in the scope of the professional digger, the archaeologist or exegete. Our own monuments and mementos arc as a i rule brought to light in the more com monplace wav of a disputed ill and testament and a subsequent exnmina I lion of testator's papers, or an auction i sale, or, often by mere accident, ns in the case of the plans of New York’s 1 i ity engineer in lsort. just discovered among the papers ol' the Historical Association. How much material for the rewriting of our past history is still stored away in private possession, where the moth corrupts though his torians cannot break in and copy is hard to tell; Imt it must be very large. No doubt then arc men now living who can still told to the literature of noremtn 1 ropnlloptinne r»f Prpt;itlt*nf I-in i coin, enormous thuigh it already is. The advantage of havin’; a cog|>ara tively brief national history is that its remains are at least genuine.

Tlie deepest interest has been aroused in medical circles oyer the re port from the Bay View Insane Asylum, at Baltimore, of a novel and apparently successful effort to cure a certain form of insanity, that known to the profession as dementia praecox, by cutting away a portion of the thyroid gland. In the first case operated upon the improvement was very marked within twenty-four hours, and of the four other cases treated, three showed I a like favorable result.

Francis Cushing, Esq., of Cushing’s Island was last week the recipient of a handsome and somewhat unique present from the members of the First Company Coast Artillery, U. S. A., stationed at Ft. Lovett on Cushing’s Island. The present was in the form of a cane and that of such an unusual pattern and workmanship as to be worthy of much more than passing at tention. The cane itself wah made of the back bone of a shark strung on a stout steel rod and tipped with a ferrule and handsomely silver mounted. It is a present well worth having from its intrinsic value to say nothing of the sentiment that goes with it. ‘‘Work for 1000 men at Old Or chard," is the advertisement that has appeared in the Boston papers and it lias called quite a number of mechan ics and workingmen from that city to the beach. The advertisement urges them to apply in person or if they are not able to write and enclose stamp and it is said that many have taken the latter course. The natural supposition of those who see the advertisement is that builders anil mechanics are wanted because of last season's big lire and so they come down to get work and learn that the promised oppor tunity for the 1000 men is to sell pic tures of the ruins and the surf, etc. Some of those who have answered the advertisement only had money enough to pay their fares to Old Orchard. None of them could afford to take any such a wild goose chase. There has been a good deal of sympathy ex pressed at Old Orchard for the men who have been hoodwinked by tliis advertisement, as well as denunciation of the scheme. Brunswlek has an aged citizen who lias the distinction of being the son of a Revolutionary soldier. The son is Capt. Stephen P. Morrison. His father, Moses Morrison, enlisted from what was Pownalborough, which makes the present towns of Dresden, Wiscasset, Aina, and Perkins. He is said to have enlisted at Bath and, in 1X40, was reported as a pensioner liv ing at Phippsburg, aged 84 years. That town was his home. Moses Morrison was born in 17n6. His first wife was Elizabeth Percy of Phipps hurg. Me., by whom he had six chil dren. His second wife was Elizabeth Lowell of the same town, who had there. children. Capt Stephen C. Morrison is the youngest of the family and the only one living. He was born Sept. 9. 1828. Moses Morrison enlisted March 17, 1777, for three years which lie served. He was in Capt. Benjam.n Burton's company, in Col. Henry Sherburne’s Continental regiment composed of men from Rhode Island. Connecticut and Massachusetts. Moses Morrison was probably in the battles at Newport and Quaker Hill and joined Washington's army on the Hudson river where he served out his three years of service. Capt. Stephen C. Morrifon is not the only son of a Revolutionary soldier living in our State. John Inglee of Machias, a soldier's son. Is still active about his business and is over 90. His father enlisted when he was but 16 years of age. There may be others. “The Merry Widow” and its waltz cer tainly own the town just now.

Digesto Coffee Digesto Coffee is coffee made digestible by refining it. Digesto Coffee is not a substitute for coffee. It is coffee, but coffee made medically harmless and digestible. The injurious effects from coffee are due to the presence of tannic acid and an excess of caffeine, because they are both poisons. These have been removed from Digesto Coffee by refining it. The harmful effects are thus eliminated. Any of the Following Grocers Keep If. AUGUSTA, MAINE. BROWN, A. M. 1 Bangor St. CHURCH E. W. 217 Water St. CASAVANT CLOUTIER 36 Water St. DAGGETT, C. E.

I SCHMITZ* 8ENTENCE SET ASIDE. (Continued from Page One.) holding that they were not proper cross-examinations. Today’s decision will have the effect of invalidating the other four indict ments, charging Schmitz, as well as lluef, with extortion and will render void the plea of guilty made by Heuf, because the appelate court held that no crime had been committed. By this reversal it is presumed that the prosecution has lost its hold upon Roof, and it was freely predicted to night that he would now. refuse all overtures for immunity wholly or in part to testify in the bribery graft case and fight every indictment. There are still pending against Ruef 126 in dictments charging bribery and *0 in dictments remain against Schmitz. Superior Judge Dunne, before whom Schmitz was convicted, tonight said: “It is to be regretted that the hear ing of this appeal came up before a court whose members have relatives and intimate friends, against whom many indictments were returned by the grand jury that returned these true bills. In view of these facts, I do not believe that the court was in the prop er frame of mind to give this matter an impartial consideration and decide it strictly upon its merits. I am satis lied that the evidence and the law sus tained the judgment and the verdict. I will further say that the jury which returned this verdict will be remem bered with respect and honor in the community long after the court which set aside the verdict has been for gotten.” Both Schmitz and Ruef, when seen at the county jail tonight, refused to make any statement or comment upon the decision. Francis J. HMeney, assistant district attorney, who prosecuted Schmitz, said: "The prosecution has not been em barrassed in the slightest by this de cision. There are plenty of other in dictments against both Schmitz and Ruef." OAK GROVE SEMINARY. New Students Enrolled—Address oy Rev. J. M. Estes—Athletic Notes.
