NEWPORT REPUBLICANS. New Town Committee Chosen and Convention Delegates Elected. Newport. Me., April 19. (Special).— At ;t cmueus of the Republican voters held Saturday in the Town hall a new town committee was chosen and dele gates to the State and district conven tions were chosen: The town commit tee is composed of Kills Jones, W. Jf. Mitchell, Jesse fJ. Waters, A. C. Brad bury, T. P. Hope, It. ('ohurn, C. 'hadhourne. The delegates chosen to the district convention to he held at Bangor are W. M. Stuart. J. M. Sanborn, I). W. Wheeler, P. It. Coburn, K. It. Leach: the alternates are R. C. Bradbury, It. M. fJoodwin. K. W. Smith, A. It Cros ford and A. \V. Littlefield. The delegates to the State conven tion to he held in Portland on April to are Byron Porter, II. ((Joodwin, Eilis Jones, T. IV Hope and risoner has insisted that his real name is Henry E. Noebus, and he has made numerous attempts, unsuccess fully, to have the state and federal courts consider his claim. The New Hampshire authorities, however, ex press no doubt that he was justly sen tenced. In the records of the police and the private detective agencies of this coun try and Europe the name of Max Shin born is written large as the most dar ing, most expert and most successful of all safe blowers, it is estimated that in tlie series of burglaries committed by liis gang more than $2,000,000 was stolen within 10 years and that Shin born's share of ihe loot was not less than $500,000. In addition to the Wal pole robbery which was committed on Aprii 21, 1865, and was one of Shin horn's earlier exploits, he is said to have been the head of a gang which, in 1S69. broke into the vaults of the Ocean Bank on Greenwich street, New’ York, and got away with $1,000,000 worth of plunder. Following this came the robbery of the Boylston Bank in Boston, the West Maryland Bank In Baltimore and the Manhattan Savings Bank in New York. In 1867, according to a confession made by Shinborn, he entered the vaults of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Co. at White Haven. Pa., three separate times, securing $40,000 on his last visit. He had served an apprenticeship as a safe-maker, and had become si* skilled that it was an easy matter for him to open the safes such as were built in those duys. On the fortune acquired by his bur glaries. and by certain successful ven tures in the stock market, Shlnborn masqueraded as a New York banker for some years, but came to grief when he was arrested at Saratoga Springs in 1867 for the Walpole Bank robbery. A complete workshop for making burglar's tools was found nt. his house and the evidence against him was so conclusive that he was con victed and sentenced to 10 years im prisonment. The night following his conviction lie broke out of jail at Keene, N. H., anil was not re-captured until many months later, after he had made an unsuccessful attempt to rob a bank at St. Albans, Vt. Then lie was sent to tlie state prison litre, but re mained only nine months, inuking his escape in a most sensational way witli the aid of confederates outside. !t was more than 30 years later, in 1900, that the fugitive was brought back to Concord to finish out his 10 year sentence. Meanwhile lie had taken refuge in Belgium, where he bore the title of “count” and moved in aristo cratic circles, until lie was sent to prison for five years for the robbery of tlie Provincial Bank of Viveres, Bel gium, in 1X83. After his stay there he disappeared from police viey until June. 1X95, when he was arrested by a private detective for robbing the First National Bank of Middlebury, N. Y., in the previous April. He was sen tenced on this charge to imprisonment for 5 years and 8 months, and at tli« expiration of that sentence was brought to Concord to finish liis term here. Stiinborn Immediately upon Ills re lease from prison, at 8.30 A. M„ went to st. John’s Roman Catholic church, where he attended mass. Later he took dinner with Rev. Claudius Byrne, the chaplain of the state prison, and In the afternoon he left for Boston. He is now 74 years of age, but is well pre served. On account of Shlnborn’s pro ficiency in German, French and Eng lish, lie iias been employed during his stay at tlie prison as interpreter and translator. A peculiar fact evidencing the pros perity of Kingfield is that there has not been a town pauper In 15 years.

President Roosevelt Will Prob ably Be Siven Full Swing And Blanket Powers to Straighten Out Venezuelan Matters. ■Washington, April 19.—From a num bor o' oonforcnres which Chairman Culloin of the Senat* committee on foreign relations has sad recently with President Roosevelt and Secre tary Root it is now probable that be fore the adjournment of the present session ot Congress blanket authority will be voted to the President to pro ceed against Venezuela in such manner as subsequent events may require to upheld the dignity of the I'nited States and to protect the interests of American citizens.

It was throughout n most orderly crowd, hundreds of whom came in au tomobiles and the companies of militia and sounds of police on guard were not oaii’.od upon to restrain the crowd nr enforce compliance with the special regulations in force. Many of the church societies, with tin- Voting Men’s Christian Association and Salvation Army, hold big outdoor meetings in the public squares and parks. Several meetings planned to be hold on the ruins of the churches were forbidden, owing to the threatened danger front toppling walls. search of the ruins was carried on all day by the authorities for the dis civcrv of any bodies which might be buried. No bodies were found by the odioials, but spectators by accident located the remains of a male adult at the ruins "t a house at H4 Cottage street. A jackknife and other metal things ied to the probable Identification •»t the body as that of Capt.

mw ENEMIES COWED. Pres. Alexis of Hayli Has Revolution Crushed. No One's Life or Property Safe Who Opposes Him. Country In Deplorable Condition Army Officers Beg.

Port Au Prince, Huyti. April 11.— More lhan tlnee weeks have elapsed since the savage shooting' of political prisoners, variously estimated at front _7 to IS. sent tin* warships of four na tions skurrying to Port Au Prince. Taeir airival put tlit seal of security on tit1' lives and property of foreign- j us and since tlien at least outward j tranuuilily has prevailed. While there have been many arrests in natives suspected of sympathy with the la!" revolution and political pris oners continue to be brought in in bat-lies Hum interior points, there have been no more public shootings indeed, the government denies that any more cm minus have taken place I rids, however, is incredible in view I of the fact that many persons are known to have been dragged from their beds at nighi and that all trace of them has been lost. !,i ilie executions of March 15 last, President Xord Alexis achieved the double purpose ol obliteiaiirig as many of Ids foes as he could lay hands on and striking terror into the hearts of those who were l.c-yond his reach. Since then Ids name, and that of his ferocious lieutenant, Gen Gules Alexis Ocicou, who personally directed the shooting of the prisoners, including some of his own blood relatives, are only mentioned in whispers. AM Hayti trembles before them, and as long as they are in power there is scant prob ability of any renewal of insurrection until any one of the half-dozen exiled aspirants for the Presidency has raised the sinews of war for another at tempt. Alexis can afford to regard the move ments of these patriots with indiffer ence, but lie has made the significant statement that it he is not permitted to end his term of office unmolested, rather then submit to deposition he I will write iiis name on the scroll of fame in the blood of such a massacre as Hayti has not seen since the days of I Dessalines. once known as Jean Jac ques I. No one doubts his ability to carry out tiiis threat, which is under stood to be intended as a deterrent not only K> revolutionists, but to any at tempt at foregin interference in the affairs of Hayti. With order restored and their lives and property under the protection of ships of war. the foremost question in the minds of foreign residents is whether the time has not come for the adoption of a final solution of the Haytien question. All agree that Hayti. during her 705 years of huh pemlenee. lias not shown great capac ity for self-government and the affairs of the island have now reached about tlie lowest ebb in its history. Americans who have lived for 20 and 3d years, and who li'itve witnessed dozens of revolutions, say that the one recently crushed, and even now smouldering, was I lie most disastrous possible, coining as it did when Hayti, already exhausted fi nancially, was least able to endure the strain of the destruction and waste of diers beg because their pay. when they been iti such a desperate condition. Des titution prevails cm every hand: ragged soldiers swarm the streets, begging pit I eously, and even, officers, dingy gold and silver lace capo in hand, are profuse in thanks for a dole of five cents. The sol diers bog because they pay. when they get it. amounts to less than 30 cents a month and what else they are able to se rine is small. A general receives 200 gourdes a mouth, equal to about $27. so that to live lie must all to his income as Ik-si he may. Similarly all government oilirials, who are paid in the debased currency, are expected to recoup themselves in some manner. Only when they are immoder ate are they subject to removal. It is rumored now that another huge issue of paper and nickel money is Impending, which will cut the present value of the gourde in half, making the nominal dol lar worth about three cents. The Haytians of the better class know till this, but in peril of their lives cannot openly express their views. A member of one of the best families in Hayti, holding a position of the highest honor—a man of broad education who lias traveled widely and is of unquestioned integrity, was recently asked whether he could name one Haytian competent to give the re public a stable and honest government. “I know no such man." he replied, and then added, "hut what is the use of discussing that. Assuming that we had one man of exalted patriotism and undoubted capacity, he could nev er aspire to the Presidency, simply be cause lie could not offer to his follow ers the assurance of public plunder which here constitutes the prime at traction of public office. The affairs of lln republic arc absolutely desperate. Wo are like children, unable to care frr ourselves and our only hope lies in the intervention of some strong power, which in a spirit of humanity will lay j a firm hand on us and guide Us along the path of safety until such time as we ntay ty force of education, develop a capacity for directing our own af fairs." The same views were expressed by Septimus Marius, a justice of the su preme court, who recently exchanged the protection of the French legation for exile on the island of St. Thomas.

OVATION FOR HUGHES. Remarkable Anti-Race Track Gam bling Demonstration In Brooklyn. New York. April 19.-A remarkable demonstration against race track gambling, that at times assumed the form of personal tribute to Gov. Hughes. took place in Brooklyn today. The demonstration began in e the j streets leading to the Bedford branch of tl'.p Young Men's Christian Associa tion. where the governor was an nounced to address the anti-race track gambling meeting and was renewed at frequent intervals during his speech and at the conclusion of the meeting he was sent away with the cheers of two or three thousand persons ringing in bis ears. The mass meeting was a non-sectarian aftair for men. The chairman. Rev. John F. Carson of the Central Presbyterian church. ex plained that it was called with "the object of impressing upon some of our representatives in the Legislature, the necessity of their changing their views regarding race track gambling." “And," he added, "it they do not change their views we will see to it that we change them." Gov. Hughes had been advertised as the principal speaker and an hour be fore the time set for the meeting the hall was crowded to the doors, while a thousand persons were in the street outside. The governor’s arrival in the ei-owil that tilled Bedford avenue from curb io curb, was the signal for pro longed cheering and cries for a speech for those that could not get into the ball. For several minutes the demon stration continued. Mounting the steps of a convenient doorway, the governor spoke briefly, emphatically declaring the unconstitutionality of the present racing situation. In the hall there was a second outburst. The governor spoke of what he termed the "unrighteous power of colossal wealth," which stood behind the racing game to defeat the will of the people and the expressed letter of the Consti tution. _ Finally he declared that the question had resolved itself into the proposition wnothcr what the people thought they were getting in 1894 when the anti racing clause was put in the Constitu tion should be done in the year 190S. The governor departed in several in stances trom the text of his prepared speech. Rev. S. Harkes Cadman of the Central Congregational church and Rev. Xaey McGee Waters of the Tom kins Avenue Congregational church al«o spoke. The audience then adopt ed resolutions denouncing the Percy Gray act. which makes race track gambling possible and demanding the passage of the Agnew-Hart hills against gambling, which were recent ly defeated by a tie vote in the State Senate. Gov. Hughes returned to Al bany tonight. RIVAL CONVENTIONS Neither instructs for Taft, But One In dorses His Candidacy. Tucson. Ariz., April 19.—The Republican territorial convention met here yester day. Contesting delegations were pres ent from Cochise. Marcopa and other counties. The contests were based upon questions of an instruction for Sec. Taft. Governor Kibbey led the faction of the Marcopa delegation favoring instructions. On the report of the credential commit tee seating the anti-instruction delega tions Gov. Kibbey withdrew, taking with him a majority r.f the delegates. The convention rallied front the disorder, however, and adopted resolutions endors ing the national and territorial adminis trations, warmly eulogizing Senator For aker. but did not instruct the national delegates. W. J. Kirkpatrick of Tuscon was chosen national committeeman. The Kibbey faction proceeded to an other hall, where they organiz.ed a second convention which was entiled to order by the governor as the regular territorial convention with a representation from every county except Yavapai. The cre dentials committee seated the rejected delegations and regular delegates com prising more than half the total were ac credited as members, 'this convention adopted resolutions strongly favoring the nomination of Sec. Taft, but did not in struct tbe delegates for him. Joseph Cameron of Goeotino was selected na tional committeeman. MEMORIAL SERVICES For Late Rep. Smith In House of Rep resentatives—House Adjourns. Washington, April 19— Memorial ser vices were conducted in the House of Representatives for the late Rep. George Smith of Illinois. For the first time in two weeks the proceedings were opened with prayer, the House during the period having technically been in continuous session In view of yesterday's episode between Speaker Cannon and Mr. Wil liams, tlie minority leader, growing out of tbe Speaker’s summary adjournment of the House, it was deemed wise from a party standpoint to have ns many Re publicans as possible on hand. About 190 responded to the notification, although any prospect of a clash with the Demo crats was dispelled when it was observed that only a few were in their seats. Speaker Cannon’s floor managers, Messrs. Payne and liaised, occupied their accus tomed places until the adjournment had been approved and a resolution had been adopted providing for adjournment imme diately after the delivery of the eulo gies. They then took their departure, as did many of the other members. Except Mr. DeArinond, none of tlie minority were present. After tributes had been made to Mr. Smith’s memory, as a fur ther mark of respect the House adjourned until noon tomorrow. Unknown Woman Killed By Auto. Watertown.

Fairbanks. Washington, April 19.—With this keynote: "Our members do not pro test against organization of labor and capital when for the purpose of peace ful and lawful benefit to its members, but trespass upon rights or attempted control of the affairs of other free citi zens must be protected" the Citizens Industrial Associations of America ob ject to a re-arrangement of the Sher man anti-trust law and to any anti injunction legislation by Congress, in a petition sent to Vice President Fair banks and Speaker Cannon today. The signers of the petition, represented by the association, include the various classes of business in all sections of the I’nited States as well "Open shop" labor organizations. The petition then takes exception to "An insistent ‘Demand’ by the man agers of the American Federation of Labor, representing a small percentage of the people that your honorable body pass measure of class legislation in tended to favor of organized labor and place within the hands of its managers power to force workingmen to pay from their wages a periodical sum to each manager or be stripped of their freedom to work and earn a living for themselves and families. And further to compel all persons who employ others even the Fnited States govern ment itself to hire members only of this organization and subject them- selves to the rules and regulations of i tite Federation of Labor.” The peti- j tion says: "Organized labor now ‘demands' a re-arrangement of tlie Sherman anti trust law in order to allow labor union and railways to interfere with and re- j strain trade and interstate commerce even to great inconvenience and loss to the common people. It also seeks to legalize the boycott." “It goes further," the petition says. j "and ‘Demands' the enactment of an ant i-injunction measure with mani- 1 fest intent to take away from our courts the right to issue restraining orders, seeking to protect the persons of our working citizens and the prop erty of others. "There comes no petition from the peace-intending citizen for an anti injunction law" the petition adds, and concludes with a prayer that Congress "Decline to enact into law any meas ure intended to benefit the few at the expense of the many or any law under which certain favored citizens may, under the shelter of that law. oppress others, prevent men from working, or from transacting busines sor which will operate in any matter to restrain trade." HELIE HOME AGAIN. Disembarks At Evereux and Proceeds to Paris In An Automobile. Paris. April 19.—Prince Helie De Sagan, who arrived at Cherbourg and disembarked early this morning from the steamship St. Paul, essayed to re sume the secrecy which lie unsuccess fully sougiit to carry out in the United States. Instead of coming direct to Paris, lie left the steamer train at Kvereux, about 65 miles from this city, after having requested his fellow pas sengers not to mention liis plans. At Kvereux he resume d his trip to Paris by automobile. The Prince declined to grant an in terview to tlie newspaper men who finally discovered him and refused to answer questions relative to the state ment published by tile Cri De Paris that he and lime. Anna Gould were already married. Passengers on the steamer declared that the prince did not act like a mar ried man or even engaged, being very devoted to a young English girl during the passage. The French newspapers generally ignore the De Sagan-Gould affair, ex cept where they ridicule the prince on account of his reported interviews and his conduct itr the United States and express the hope that "The interna tional farce" will soon be ended. The Khedive of Egypt, whose great fad is locomotive driving, had a nar row escape the other day while run ning an engine on the state railway. He suddenly found his way blocked by a wagon loaded with pig iron. The royal engineer showed wonderful pres ence of mind. He reversed and used his full brake power and stopped just short of the obstruction. He then left the engine, walked back to a station and had an interview with the responsible official there which that individual probably will never forget. -I Work in a cotton mill being slack at I Winsted.

Los Angeles, Calif., April 19.—To night for the first time since leaving Hampton Roads, the battleships of the Atlantic fleet are separated. In four harbors, a few miles apart, they lie at anchor in divisions of four and these positions they will maintain until next Saturday morning, when the 16 fight ing craft, again united under the flag of Rear Admiral Thomas, will get un der way for Santa Barbara, the next port of welcome. For the ships, for the officers and men, and for the people of Los Angeles, this has been a busy Easter Sunday. The division of the fleet was accom plished at 6 o'clock this morning, but even at this early hour the shores of San Pedro harbor and the hills over looking were well covered with spec tators eager to witness the maneuvres of the warships. Long Beach, Santa Monca and Re dondo are the places of anchorage. At an early hour the steam and electric roads were transporting tens of thous ands of people to all of the ports and as the day advanced the overcrowded beaclt cities sent their surplus of peo ple along the stretches of sand beaches out and along the piers and the wharves to the best places to command a view of the ships. A striking feature of the service itv each of the big churches of Los Angeles was the presence of squads of sailors in uniform, to whom in nearly every instance, the clergymen address ed a portion of the Easter sermon. "The church squads,” composed* of first class liberty men. were brought ashore early this morning. Armed pa trols were landed at the beach cities and sent into Los Angeles, but up to a late hour there had not been a single instance of disorder. THREE DEAD—ONE DYING.

Finds No Money Nor Mention of the Name In Records. Does Find “Moser” and Will In vestigate Along That Line. The fallowing letter was recently re ceived by Hon. S. S. Brown of the Arm ol Brown Brown of Waterville, who have been investigating the claims ol the Mosher heirs. The letter is the lirst information which has been received by Mr. Brown of a definite sort. It will be the foundation for a search for the will referred to which is understood to be in the probate court at Salem. The letter is as fol lows: Mr. S. S. Brown, Attorney-at-Law, P 0. Box No. 284, Waterville, Kenne tbec County, Maine, U. S. A. Dear Sir- I wrote you on the 19th ult. explaining the reason of delay. I have now completed my search in the rec ords of the court of chancery but am unable to discover any unclaimed money there in the name of Mosher, indeed 1 cannot find any entry in the name of Mosher. lender these circumstances I pur chased copies of advertisements con taining names the most similar to that of Mosher. These are as follows: 1. From the “Daily News” of Jan. 20, 1377, inquiring for Ann Elizabeth Moser, or her representatives. 2. That is taken from return made by the Bank of England in 1822 show ing that there was at that period mon ey standing unclaimed in the name of Ann Elizabeth Moser of Carshalton, Surry, from Oct. 1. .0. From the “Times” of the 7th of January, 1897, being inquiry for the issue of John Hardcastle Mosey, for merly of T.ondon. 4. From tile “Times” of 2Sth Sep tember, 1872, being inquiry for per- sons having any claims or demands upon the estate of John Moser, late of London. 3. The “Times” of Nov. 11, 1898, an inquiry made by order of the high court of cl’.ancery, as to whether John Hardcastle Mosey had any, and, if any, what, children. 6. The "People” lOth August, 189C, an inquiry for Philip M. Moyser, re siding abroad in 1833, or his represen tatives. 5. The “Times" of Ttli November, 1866, an inquiry made by the high court of chancery for the next of kin of Bichard Moysey, late of County Rutland, who died in 1797, or their ie ga' representatives. S. The “Times’ ’of 7th November, 1862, an inquiry for Minas Movssi of London, 1849, or his representatives. 9. The “London Gazette” of 1S41, Page 2283, an inquiry for the children of Leonard Mosey, formerly of Leeds, and who, died,about 1821. 10. 'pile “Times” of 20th October, 1832, an inquiry for the children of the late John Moyse of York Road, Kings land, deceased about 16 years previ ously. 11. The “Times” of 10th July. 1871, an inquiry for Robert Vickers Moyse and Mary Ann, his wife, who resided in London in 1833. In your letter of the 6th of January last, you stated that the “Moshers” in whom your clients are interested, be longed to Dartmouth, which is an old seaport town in Devonshire. 1 have made inquiries at that place, but no trace of the name can be found there for over a century back. In that same letter you mention that you understood that other par ties were at work on the “Mosher Claim.” but as far as 1 can discover no one beside myself is engaged in it, in this country at all events. Have you got the date and place of death of Hugh Mosher, the emigrant? If so it will be well to find whether or not he left a “will." Jf he did. the probability is that he therein made reference to any property coming to him from this side. If you succeed in getting any fur th“r particulars to send me, I am quite prepared to proceed further with my investigations. Yours truly, RORERT GUN. PITTSFIELD. Republican Caucus. At the Republican caucus held in Union ball Saturday afternoon for the purpose of< electing delegates to attend the 3rd district Republican convention at Water ville. Attorney T. A.

F. McDonald tonight said: “Rear Admiral Evans passed a pleasant day and continues gradually to improve.” After his treatment and bath today Admiral Evans spent considerable time out of doors, watching a ball game r.nd talking with visitors. Little disorder developed Sunday at Chester, Pa., in connection with the street ear strike situation. Cars w’ere operated at intervals on nearly all the lines of the Traction Co., but there were few riders. Each car was guard ed by the state police and there was but one vigorous attack on the part of the strike sympathizers. Shortly after the cars were started a crowd on Sec ond street began throwing eggs at the tr.cn in charge of one of them. When the supply of eggs gave put the throw ers began throwing sticks and stones. The mounted officers routed the dis turbers and arrested several men. Easter- Parade In New York. New York, April 19.—Devotees of tra dition came to the front in splendor and with splendid courage for the ICaster parade on Fifth avenue today. There were thousands of visitors from out of town and thousands more of New Yorkers who sought Fifth avenue because tradition beckoned to them to come fort!,) and view society in its gor geous mantle which is supposedly ex changed for the sack cloth of Lent. The event was in the nature of a mask for the first two hours. It was a pro-;, cession of umbrellas and nearly 1 o'clock when the skies cleared and the umbrellas folded up as fair an hour of April sunshine as one could want. Fifth avenue from Washington square to 90th street, presented a brilliant scene. All of the churches had special and beautiful Easter services and probably with out exception the edi flcos were tilled. THE PRESIDENT’S TRIP. Will Go Around the World With Wife and Miss Ethel. Boston. April 19.—Perhaps Theodore Roosevelt, ex-President, is going to follow the fleet of fighting ships, of which he is now commander-in-chief, around the world. The tleet is going to Australia. So is Mr. Roosevelt. That much has been established in recent days. Mrs. Elizabeth Rice from New Zealand, formerly living in Law rence, Mass., and now visiting in An dover. was a caller at the White House offices a few days ago. The President questioned her in much detail about the interesting country. He said he was planning to go out there within the next two years and that, in the course of a world tour, he intended giving considerable time to the Orient. Presumably he will go to Japan and China. He said nothing about big game in Australia, but if he wishes, there will undoubtedly be a few surviving kangaroos that would be willing sacrifices to his unerring ri fle. The President expects Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ethel to accompany him on this world tour. The, latter was prom ised that privilege a while ago if she would defer her coming-out party till next winter, the last winter the Roose velts expect to occupy the White House. Mrs. Rice has lived in Christchurch, Now Zealand, for the last five years. Her married daughter has her home there. Mrs. Rice is a sister of the Bos ton lawyer, Arthur F. Odlin, whose home is in Winchester. Until her hus band's death she lived in Lawrence. She has come back to visit her friends in New England, with many a good word to say for New Zealand, as she has seen it. At present she is visit ing at the home of John L. Brewster, on Lock street, Andover. GOMPERS AT NEW YORK. Addresses Big Labor Mass Meeting— Meetings In Other Cities. Now York, April 19.—Tlio most im portant, perhaps ol* the several labor mass meetings held throughout the United States today was that ad dressed by President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of tabor at the Grand Central Palace tonight. Among the throng of labor men were many persons prominent in the busi ness, social and official life of the city. In common with the meetings in oth er cities the local gathering was for the purpose of publicly demanding reme dial legislation by Congress in the in terests of organized labor. The speak ers utgod that Congress pass the sug gested labor amendment to the Sher man anti-trust law. The desired amendment would exempt labor organ izations from the provision against combinations in restraint of trade. “THE PRINCE OF PEACE” Wm. J. Bryan Speaks Twice At Utica and Once At Rome, N. Y. Rome, N. Y„ April 19.—The Lyric theatre was crowded tonight by people eager to see and heat Williams Bryan. He made two addresses in Utica, churches this afternoon under the auspices of the Young Men’s Christian Association of that city. The meeting here was held under the direction of the Rome Association* Upon being introduced, Mr. Bryan re ceived a warm welcome. The subject of his address was: “The Prince of Peace,-’ one which he has delivered before in different parts of the coun try. Examination of the skeleton which the shifting sands of the beach near Newburyport disclosed Friday lias led to the belief that murder has been re vealed. The victim is unknown and of ficials are wholly in the dark. Near the base of the skull the bone was smashed in as though by a blow from some heavy instrument, and the back bone seems to have been cht, probably by a knife. The skeleton was found at some distance from the shore, so that it would have been impossible for it to have been washed ashore from a wreck. Several foreign newspapers have published a report that a plot had been discovered to blow up the Russian Emperor and other members of the imperial family. An official statement was issued Sunday at St. Petersburg to the effect that such rumors were without foundation. USE ALLEN’S FOOT-EASE, A powder to be shaken into the shoes.

Eliot's Advice Will Not Be Generally Followed at Yale. harvard Crew Takes Two Spins on the Severn at Annapolis. Boston, April 19.—Tomorrow the Bos ton Athletic Association's 12th annu al Marathon race will be held over the now famous 25-mile course from the little village of Ashland into the B. A. A. clubhouse on Exeter street. With 1IU starters entered there will bo at least over 100 to line up in the roadway tit Stevens' Corner, a mile be yond the Ashland depot, for the gun that wi'l send them on their long, weary journey, a journey that most men would not care to think of walk ing in a day to say nothing of run ning. Ever since tlie first of the B. A. A. Marathons the event has grown stead ily in importance until it has assumed not only a national greatness but uti international one as well. This year the eyes of the athletic world will be directed toward it for another reason, for it is to be the try out for positions on the Olympic Mar athon team that will be sent to Eng land to compete at the games to be held there this summer. Among the starters who will try for fame are runners who have been tried and proved in long-distance races in all parts of the country, and not a few who have been well up in previous B. A. A. Marathons. There is also any amount of young blood out for their first contest of this kind, who, if they have the pluck, per severance and endurance, may win out, bearing in mind that Caffrey and Longboat both won the B. A. A. Mara thon the first time they ran it. As a rule, however, the race has usu ally gone to a runner who in his try out of the first year made a good showing and came back stronger than ever the next year. There is a saying about the pitcher that goes too often to the well that also applies to Marathon runners. Too many races of the kind seem to hurt a man's chances, and the seasoned vet eran is usually way back among the also rans. It is also true that a Marathon visi tor seldom repeats his victory. In the 11 races held by the. B. A. A., only one man has won the event twice—John J. Caffrey of Hamilton, Ont. Other win ners have tried over and over again to duplicate Caffrey’.s performance, but without success, and have one by one dropped out of prominence as runners ard been forgotten. In the race tomorrow there will be three past Marathon winners, Sammy Mellor. the winner of the B. A. A. Marathon of 1902; Ered Lorz, the win ner of the 1905 event, and also Thomas Hicks, winner of tlie St. Louis Mara thon in 1901. Neither of them is looked upon as dangerous, however, as it is believed that they have seen their best days as distance runners. Out of the enormous field this year there is no one athlete who stands out as conspicuously as did Thomas Longboat, the great Indian runner, who won the event of a year ago. HARVARD CREW TAKES TWO SPINS ON THE SEVERN. Annapolis, Md.. April 19.—The Har vard crew whit'll will row against the midshipmen on Wednesday next had two spins on the Severn Saturday. In the morning therei was a long row and a thorough examination of the course and in the afternoon after a delay on account of the rain the oars men got off again, this time for only a short paddle. Coach Wray expressed himself as well pleased with the course and the prospects for the race. Although since the Harvard men have been here tlm water has been rougher than for some days previous. Coach Wray said that it was not so rough as that they had been used to on the Charles this spring. The crew is about in pounds heavier on the average than the midshipmen. Coach Wray said Saturday evening that the oarsmen were probably too light and were not likely to lose much before the race, as they would not he allowed to work particularly hard so early in the season. YALE WILL NOT FOL LOW PRES. ELIOT’S ADVICE. New Haven. Ct., April 19.—Although members of the Yale faculty said Satur day, after reading that part of the annual report of President Eliot of Harvard which demanded that athletics should be curtailed, that they did not favor such action at Yale, it is certain that steps will he immediately taken at Yale to re move a number of present features of eolle.ee sports which have fallen into dis favor by the faculty. One is in holding athletic teams here for the drudgery of Easter vacations. The track, baseball and rowing teams are all here, and all but the crew are working twice a day. It is generally be lieved that this will he the last year in which this will bo done. b“cause it tends to make the athletes stale. The faculty will not allow so many athletic sports to be scheduled for New Haven City another year. President Had ley and prominent members of the facul ty came out with a statement two weeks ago to the effect that Yale did not favor reducing athletic sports because they tended to keep students in New Haven on Saturdays instead of going to New 1 York City. The faculty later awoke to the fact that the Yale nine is scheduled to play every Saturday this month in New York, and the students who want to see the team play must go to New York for that purpose. I In general President Eliot's recommend itlons will not be followed at Yale, and t Is known that Yale lias been sounded uy Harvard on the plan or reducing ;ports in every branch to two competi tions a season, ami that Yale has ilEa'ch^toe’llTs'eliiim*?i t!U,Strat,‘d "'1'ite'"l,s 0,1 H,>rTie ne ve.il- v- enutK'! 1,1 Paragraph at least each week. at il.?-n^r'.ic'i"S ™,tho,,t charge.

D., L. L. D., Methodist Episcopal bishop of Cali fornia, who will be the presiding officer at the sessions of the annual Maine conference in this city this week, is a leader of prominence in the great Methodist denomination and a man of striking personality. He is a native of Virginia and is 63 years of age. He graduated from Mt. Union College, Ohio, in 1865 and from Boston University in 1871. He holds honorary degrees from his own college and also from Baker University of Kansas, the University of Southern California and De Pauw University of Indiana. His early pastorates were in Pennsylvania and Ohio and then he came to New England. He was the founder and for nine years the pastor of the Peoples’ church of Boston. From 1893 to 1900 he w-as corresponding secretary' of the Freedmen’s Aid and Southern Educa tional society and during the same years was editor of the Christian Educator, and since 1900 he has been bishop of California. Twice he lias gone to England as an American dele gate to Methodist councils and he has participated in many of the general conferences in this country. Bishop Hamilton is the author of several books. Including a “Memorial of Jesse Lee" and ‘Lives ofr the Methodist Bishops" and is widely famed as a lecturer and public speaker. Such in brief is the distinguished divine who will be the guest of Au gusta this week. Ilis coming across the continent to preside at this annual gathering of the Maine Methodists is an evidence of the many ties that bind Maine ami California together, and his presence here cannot fail to strengthen 9ities. The conference also brings Hfere other distinguished visitors Jtmm outside the £tate as well as a large assemblage of clergymen and laymen from many sections of Maine. The city will have a most hospitable .welcome for its visitors and sincerely' hopes that their meetings may he in every way pleasant anil successful. Favorable Trade Figures. The balance of trade for March, ac cording to the figures just given out at Washington, was *52,000,000 in favor of the United States, making the total $067,000,000 for the first nine months of the present fiscal year. The Phila delphia Inquirer explains why it is in view of these figures many per sons are a little perplexed that there should be talk of gold exports at this time. They think, on the contrary, we ought to he getting more from Eu rope. It is unfortunate that there is no way of keeping international bank books. The balance of trade in our l'avor looks well and means a great deal, but there is no way of telling just how much out of this sum we owe for various purposes. Says the Inquirer, "We know that we pay enormous sums every year to foreigners for freights. We do not know that the figures as given in of ficial reports represent the actual ex change values of the commodities in volved, since there is a good deal of truud i.t invoices. We do not know how much our people spend every year abroad in traveling nor how many mil lions are sent for interest and divi dends. Wc simply know that occa sionally we import gold and occasional ly we export it. Latterly we have been getting much the best of it and have an Immense gold stock ou hand. We must pay on demand to foreigners even if we hold up payments in this country occasionally." Nevertheless, the showing on its face is a good one and is probably good from any point of view. We. are sell ing more than we buy and tire chances are that this year we shall have more to sell than ever. We aie fast becom ing a creditor nation. Here is a bright picture of restored confidence and business revival as gram: “Sturdy Americanism lias won. The pessimists have taken to the woods and the optimists are reaping the re wards of energy and faitli in tlte coun try. Nearly every bank that suc cuinbed during the period of stress is doing business—and an increased vol ume at their old stands. The other channels of commerce, temporarily clogged, have been cleared out and the ■whole country is feeling the inspiring Influence of renewed vitality. The big 8tores are full of eager Kastertide shoppers, and the working folk who avers dropped when prudence coun selled contraction are being re-employ ed—not through the agency ot the wealthy, preachers of unrest, but by the practical, hardworking American business men, to whose courage when things looked darkest the country is indebted for the restoration of confi dence that is leading to another era of Industrial and mercantile prosperity.” Speaking of the so-called ''army of the unemployed” in New York City the secretary of the joint application bureau of New York says he can place from 100 to 200 men a day on farms, the New York state employment bu reau can do as well and there are nu merous private bureaus which have applications for help on farms that are ignored by the unemployed. These jobs pay from $20 to $25 a month and board, which is pretty good remuneration in times of stress. The Louisville Courier-Journal holds that if Mr. Gould is exact in his state ment that Mrs. Gould drank three cocktails before breakfast, a quart of white wine at luncheon, brandy and gin in the afternoon, champagne at dinner and straight whisky at bed time and that the habit developed soon after they were married, Mr. Gould will be famous for having driven a woman to drink on a more majestic scale than any other husband living. The growing death list is an awful feature of the Chelsea fire. The first dispatches told us that only three lives were lost and now it is definitely known that over a dozen persons per ished in the Paines, while the list of those still missing makes i: not unlike ly that the number is two or even three times as large. Probably the exact number will never be known. Today being Patriots' Day, a legal holiday, no paper will be issued from this office Tuesday morning. MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT. No Use for Them to Kick. (Fair'iold Journal.) The passing of resolutions endorsing Bryan at the convention of the third district Democrats seems to be some what of a blow at the leading Demo crat papers of the State which have not appeared to be in his favor. They will doubtless all gracefully endorse Bryan now. A Case of Nature Faking. (Biddoford Journal.) It is reported that the Denver re ception committee will utilize the tiger, instead of the donkey, as the emblem for decorative purposes in and about I lie place where the Democratic na tional convention is to meet. Presi dent Roosevelt, being a member of the Republican party, may, from a feel ing of delicacy, have nothing to say about such a rank piece of nature fak ing. but there are many in the Demo cratic party, including Mr. Tripp of Wells, who so strenuously objected to the insinuation that ho had use for a bale of hay, who will be glad to have the overworked donkey relegated to a back scat and the tiger brought to the fore, even though ...that animal has heretofore been- jttjg '‘‘•'tjnetive em blem of Tammany 11 To Stamp Ou. Anarchy. (Somerset Reporter.)' Never before was this country so thoroughly aroused in its determina tion to stamp out anarchy, even in its beginnings. The way to do it is to exterminate the microbes, and do it just before they arc hatched. We have stations where water is closely ex amined to discover if it contains any thing injurous to health. .So should we be watchful of these germs of an archy and confine or destroy them. There is room in this country for but one flag and that is the stars and stripes. There is no place here, on this free soil for the blood-red Hag of anarchy. Views on Dancing. (Portland Argus.) The New England Methodist con ference promptly seconds the Ne«j York conference in recommending re peal of the prohibition of dancing, card playing and theatre attendance. Mean time. here in Maine the proclamation has giine forth among the State granges that there shall be no more dancing in grange halls. The pactice has been hitherto frowned rpon by grange officials, although grange opin ion has naturally been divided on the subject. Now it has been definitely abandoned as inimical to Grange in terests, a decision that will doubtless be less welcome to the young folks among the grangers than to their eld Not Fair to the Senator. (Portland Express.) It is a painful duty which we are now called upon to perforin. Evidently the machine in Maine has made way with tlie Staples boom. Worse than that it has decided to go down under the nose of the man who is entitled to the nomination to take up a can didate with no political record, a man who* has done nothing for the Demo cratic. party as an organization, who has stood out of the tiring linn, away from the whizz of the bullets, while the Senator from Knox has been tak ing the rain of artillery fire, and hold ing the batteries with the flag of De mocracy floating proudly from the t (imparts. Battered and scarred, the old war horse comes up before the pow ers that be and asks for recognition, and orders issue from Waterville that lie be ignored, and that the honors due to him be passed on to a sutler, who has not fired a gun during all the cam paigns. it’s a pity, but ’tis true. "Neatness is essential on the links," said It. J. Whigham, the golfer, at a dinner in Chicago. “At Shinnecoek Hills one day I played behind two young and pretty girls. Overtaking them I heard the younger say: ‘How many holes on this course, Aileen’.’' ‘Nineteen, dear,’ said Aileen, ‘including the one in your stocking.’ To Enlarge the Canal, The enlargement of 10 feet in the width of the Panama canal locks is being urged bv the Navy department. This is a small concession to the demand for increased accomodations for the coming big vessels, which builders claim will be much larger In the next few years. The use of Hostet ter’s Stomach Bitters is urged in every case of stomach, liver or bowel disorder, because past experience has proven it to be the best for such ailments. A few doses at the first symptom will save you a lot of unnecessary suffering. Therefore get a bottle today lrcm your druggist or dealer and always keep it handy. It will restore the appetite, aid digestion, keep the bowels open and thus prevent sick headache, flatulency. heartburn, dyspepsia, indigestion, female ills and malaria, fever and ague.

With magic pen, chains dyed in At no —William Addison Houghton in Boston Transcript. Patriot's day for everybody and a holiday for some. This week Augusta is the property of the Methodists of Maine. About every town this side of Fort Kent has a ball game or two sched uled for today. And now the patient holders of the Sehumann-Heink tickets are building their hopes around early June. The college games today arc Colby vs. U. of M. at Waterville and Botv doin twice with Portland in Portland. A peculiar fact evidencing the pros perity of Kingfleid is that there lias not been a town pauper in 15 years. The other lakes of the State do not seem to be in any hurry to follow the good example of Scbago in giving the eager fishermen a show. The weather man seems to have mixed a large portion of March weath er into liis April mixture and tiie peo ple who have been talking about an early spring are very Quiet now. The Biddeford Journal suggests that Portland might compromise by build ing its new city building on wheels and then locating it to meet the de mands of changing public sentiment. Tiie general conference of the Con gregational churches of Maine will con vene at the Central church in Bangor, May 5, ti and 7. The conference lias not met with this church for US years and for that reason its members and parishioners are making every effort for a program of speaking and enter tainment which will be of unusual in terest. North Anson, thanks largely to the loyal and public spirited women of the town, is to have a soldiers’ monument and it is hoped that it will be complet ed arid ready for dedication by .Memo rial day. In its department of ’’Local Hap penings” the Lincoln Chronicle gives us this little story: A man quarreled with his wife, and took to drink. His wife, hoping to reform him, hired a masquerade suit one night, and ac costed him on the street. ”1 am the devil,” she said. Her tipsy husband grasped her hand cordially. “Shake old boy,” he said, "I am your brother in-law. I married your sister.” During the month of March there were 891,203 bushels of potatoes ship ped out of Aroostook county over the ii. A. railroad, making total from crop of 1907 up to and including March 31, 1908, 4,808,835 bushels, or a decrease of 4,831,874 bushels from the same pe riod in 1907. This makes the ship ments so far from last year's crop about equal to the shipments of the 1903 crop up to April 1, 1904, when 4. 547.757 bushels were shipped. Of the 1904 crop 5,213,853 bushels had been shipped up to April 1, 1905, so that last year’s crop is behind 1904 in amount gone forward to April 1. Simultaneously with the organization of a pigeon postal service in the French Kongo, where the climate makes both ordinary and wireless telegraphy im possible. it is announced that the Brit ish government has replaced the pigeon post by wireless telegraphy in both the naval and the colonial service, and that this year's budget contains no ap propriation for pigeons. Prof. D. C. Jackson, of the Massa chusetts Institute of Technology, has been retained by the Massachusetts highway commission to make a re port regarding the telephone situa tion with special reference to the prac ticability of a reduction in rates and a higher efficiency of service.

WILDES FRED G KINSMAN W. H. DAVI*. Dated March 17. 1908. BOOKS AND AUTHORS 4-4 Any one who has ever loved New England will appreciate “Old Paths and Legends of the New England Bordder,” by Katherine M. Abbott, who has written a similar volume on the New England coast. The present volume "attempts to follow the ever shifting border line of colonial settle ment—the westward drift of the log hut across the wilderness of New Eng land in the days when we were still subject to kingly rule.” The story of border life in the North American colonies is more of romance than of history. The experiences of these colonists is unique in the history of nations; in part a peaceful tilling of the soil, in part a strife with a race of red men, some of whom were friendly, others implacable. Yet the acts of these strange primitive chiefs changed the history of the courts of Europe. The first chapter of this delightful book tells of the first voyage of the "Restless”; how a Dutch yacht, sailing out of Manhattan, discovered ‘the "Housatonick, Connitecock and Pegnot rivers.” The first portion of the record tells of the struggles of whites and Pegnots along the Con necticut shores. Other quaint old towns are discussed with their memories of colonial and revolutionary days. Deerfield and the Berkshire country are especially dwelt upon. The publishers of this book are G. P. Put nam’s Sons. Mrs. de La Pasture’s book, "The Unlucky Family” (E. P. Dutton Co.) is a domestic extravaganza which has moments of fun and some clever strokes of character drawing. There are not enough of these, however, to carry the heavy and preposterous burlesque into which the theme is quickly turned. Where the volume is truly delightful is in its illustration. Mr. E. T. Reed’s sketches are full of fantastic humor. They are almost as good as are his Parliamentary sketches in “Punch,” and that is saying a good deal. Some time ago before Robert Hichens began writing his stories of the desert he brought out a book called “The Green Carnation.” which has long been out of print in this country. It is a satire of precosity of the school of the younger English modernists, and a new edition is being brought out here. Lord Cromer’s new hook deals very frankly with the events connected with the death of Gen. Gordon. To Mr. Gladstone's statement that “we had no proof, as we believed, that Gen. Gordon was in danger within the walls of Khartum,” Lord Cromer says: “Lord Wolseley, myself and others had dwelt on the dangers of Gen. Gordon’s position, and even if no such warnings had been given the facts spoke for themselves. Gen. Gordon and Col. Stewart were beleaguered in a remote African, town by hordes'of warlike savages who were half mad with fanaticism and elated at their recent successes. Yet Mr. .Gladstone wanted proof that they werejta danger. If the proofs which already existed in the early summer of 18X4 were not suf ficent one is tempted to ask what evidence would have carried conviction to Mr. Gladstone's mind, and the only possible answer that r. Gladstone was well' nigh, tie. i u- not to be lieve a fact which was naturally enough most distasteful to hlfn.” There is an air of up-and-doing about Walter D. Moody’s book. “Men Who Sell Things.” He gives this ad vice after twenty years’ experience as traveling salesman. European buyer and employer. His whole book may be summed up in his expression. “You must be progressive and aggressive.” One is hustled through the book and bowed out at the last chapter in a way to make one perfectly breathless. The profession of salesmanship. Mr. Moody claims, is the greatest profession on earth; but the enormous pressure of new business and the constant tightening of competition force those who follow this profession to look alive to their interesfs. Mr. Moody dis cusses this “New Era,” “Pure Grtt," “The Knocker,” “The Fussy Sale's man,” "The Wheelbarrow Salesman," “The Know-it-AU,” “The Quick-Tem pered,’’ “The Sky Rocket," “The Old Timer." “The Mind as a Magnet,” “Dress and Orderliness,” “Letters to the Trade," “Getting the price." "Get ting an Interest in the Business,” and a dozen other phases of the question. He is brisk and concise, perfectly frank about all questions, and un doubtedly offers good advice and valuable suggestions to all persons in terested in this kind of information. (Chicago: A. C. McClurg Co.) The new edition of the “Complete Works of George Eliot” will have in troductions prepared for each of the different novels setting forth in detail the circumstances under which it was written. There will be in this edition pictures of Griff House, where George Eliot spent her girlhood, the various schools which she attended and the different homes of her later life. One volume will be devoted to material written by George Eliot but never be fore published in a collected editon. The following books will he published this month by Charles Scribner's Sons; “The Life and Letters of George Ban croft,” by M. A. DeWolfe Howe; “True Stories of Crime,” being a record ta ken from the district attorney’s offie by Arthur Train; “Monologues,” by Miss Beatrice Herfnrd. illustrated by a series of drawings by Oliver Her fnrd; "Seventeenth Century Men of Latitude,” in which is given an ac count of the forerunners of the “New Theology.” by Dr. Edward Augustus George; “The. Essential Life, :i series of essays on the philosophy of life by Stephen B. Stanton. Mr. Philip S. Marden, whose journey last autumn resulted in his book “Greece and the AEgean Islands, sailed last week for Gibraltar, where he will begin a journey through Spain. The title of “The Second Best,” by Coralie Stanton and Heath Hosken, is explained by the following quotation: “There was once a man who had seen the Parthenon and he wished to build his god a temple like it. But he was not a skillful man and try as he would he could only.*.,produce a mud hut thatched with strat^«4^id he sat down and wept because he could not build a temple lor his god. But one who passed by said to him: ‘There are two worse plights than yours—one is to have m, god, the other to build a mud hut and mistake it for the Parthe non.’ Rene Bazin’s novel “The N'un” “L’lsolee”) is brought out in transla-' tion in this country. M. Bazin was recently made a member of the French Academy. "The Nun,” which has al ready passed its fifty-eighth edition in France, is the story of five nuns who are turned back into the world through the closing of their school by the recent French law. Will C'arleton is about to publish a new book called “Drifted In"—a mod ern version of the Canterbury Tales. \n express train caught in a great storm has been, in Western parlance, “drifted in." To amuse themselves each of the travellers tells a story, and these tales include all sorts of themes -sad and glad, foolish and sentimen “My Day and Generation." by Col. ('lark G. Carr, the author of "The mini" and “Lincoln at Gettysburg, will be published this week. Col. Carr lias known personally and intimately many of the great men and women of this country, and his recollections cov er our history from the period of the anti-slavery agitation down to the present time. The author’s public ca reer has identided him with the Re publican party since its inception, throwing him into intimate relations with Lincoln, Douglas, Grant, Sher man, Logan and others prominent in the Civil War. It has also included his service for four years as Minister from this country to the court of Den mark. “The Sentimental Adventures of Jim my Bulstrode,” by Marie Van V'ost, just published by the Scribner’s, has for its hero a character whose attrac tive and likable personality gives the book a rare charm. He is good-na tured, kind-hearted and generous to friend, enemy or beggar, and these traits of character coupled with un limited wealth, lead him into many adventures often sentimental and al ways amusing. Back of his easy na ture is the chivalry and courtesy of a gentleman in the finest sense of the word, and he is always a strong, fine, and delightfully original character. "The Master of the Inn,” by Robert Herrick, first appeared as a short story Jin the Christmas number of Scribner's Magazine. It is such a re markable bit of realism and has ap pealed so strongly to those who read it that there has been a general de mand for its publication in book form. Die Master of the Inn was a doctor who had given up his practice and lived out in the country where he kept in open house for all those who were worn out with work and worry, or dis couraged and beaten down. These men he kept with him until they were anxious and ready to take up the bat tle of life again, and then sent them back refreshed and strengthened in mind and body by their life with him in the open air. The book will be pub lished in ar. edition similar to Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews' story, “The Perfect Tribute," some time this month. Portions of the biography of Richard Mansheld, written by Paul Wiistach. who was for same ten y closely associated with the great u-. business capacity, will appear in the pages of Scribner’s Magazine date of its book publication being schedtded for next August. In liis pre paration of the work, Mr. Wiistach has had the co-operation of Mrs. Mansfield, who placed at his disposal many im portant private documents and much valuable correspondence. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle will preside at the eighteenth Readers Dinner to be held in London in May. The Readers pensions committee has been able to found four pensions at a cost of just more than £2,000 and it is lioped that the forthcoming dinner will be devoted to establishing a fifth. A new book by Beatrice Hurraden, author of "Ships That Pass in the Night.” is now in preparation and will be published under the title of “The Interplay.” The name is taken from a line by an old Knglish writer, “And there was playe and interplaye of mu sick. divers instruments acting on each other in curious fashione.” Mr. William Dean Howrells stopped during his recent visit to Rome in a house in the Via Veneto just below Queen .'largherita’s palace. The pre vious visit of Mr. Howells to Rome was made forty-four years ago. It is expected that the present one will re sult in a novel which has its setting in modern Rome. Mary Austin’s new story which will appear among the early fiction of the spiing, is to be entitled “Santa Lucia.” It is a story of California, the newer suburban vicinity of San Francisco, and not the city proper which has fig ured so prominently in fiction since the earthquake. K. W. Howe of Kansas, whose new book “Daily Notes of a Trip Around the World” has recently appeared1, wrote “The Story of a Country Town” many years ago. He could not find a publisher for his book. The country fair had net then arisen. But he set it up himself by hand from the “case” in a country newspaper office in Kan sas and it first appeared in the form judged artistic by the country publish er. The book has since been repub lished by Houghton and has its place among collections of representative fiction, because it is a genuine truthful bock, telling the facts about the early period in the West when romance had not yet come in. i It is indeed a literary flvent of im portance to have Mr. Bartde break his long silence with a new book, “When Wendy Grew Up.” The title of the volume indicates its contents?. The American “Squaw Man,” of which rnprlo p oMppppa nri-i hia wife, Julie Opp, a novel, has created 1c* Kic-cu. lu.presau.ii in LioncLon. Among all the press comments there seems to be no dissenting voice. The English critics It Requires No Argument to prove the advantage of having a bank account.

The English reason for dropping the “Squaw Man" lay in the fact that its purely colloquial meaning was lost in London: while the reason for choosing A White Man is advanced l»y a London critic, who says it is because the hero is a thoroughly good fellow, true in tovf. straight in all his dealings, and chivalrous to the backbone. Evidently the meaning is not far removed from the American slang phrase, “He’s white." If her publishers are not careful, Airs. Lumen's "Shuttle" will he taken from her by people who admiring the book in advertently attribute its authorship to some one else. When this now well known international novel was first pub lished. “The Weavers.” by Sir Gilbert Parker, also made its appearance. The contusion of these books was. of course, inevitable from the similarity of their titles. But now through a review there conies another unwilling ointment. Mrs. Kat“ I.otiglas: Wig-gin, who needs not the fictitious prestige of another's books, was recently chronicled in the columns of a daily paper as “the author of that won derful book. ’The Shuttle.’ which is bound to live.” This confusion calls to mind Bret Ksrte's remark to the gushing lady, who, his neighbor one evening at dinner, complimented him. on the late .1 oil n Hay's poem. "Little Breeches.” "Ma dam.” bowed the Westerner, you've put ‘Little Breeches' on the wrong man.” Mrs. Burnett. Mrs. Wiggin and Sir Gil bert barker would naturally bo far more content with their own books than with other authors.' if only people would ren der unto them the tilings that are theirs. Every one who remembers the book “An American Girl in London”—and a great many readers will remember it. for it, for it was one of the popular books of ton years aco— will welcome the an nouncement that Mrs Everard Cotes has written another story on a theme not al together different. “A Canadian Girl in Lordon." The new book is said, how ever. to differ not only as to plot, but in point of view, and to contain in the form of a witty story. Afrs.

STATEJHHJSE. A New Militia Company at Romford Falls. Will Become Perl of the Na tional Guard, April 22. Major Dooley Talks About Ammu nition For New Rifle. Announcement was made Saturday at the office of the adjutant general of the issuance ol' two special orders rel ative to the unattached- company of the National Guard of the State of Maine which was recently enlisted by Lucian W. Blanchard at Rum ford Falls, under Special' Orders No. is, the first of which provides for the muster ing of the company into the military service of the State, and the second for the election of the commissioned officers'of the company. The text of the two orders is as follows: Augusta, April 17, 190S. Special Orders No. 29. f. The men enlisted by Lucian W. Blanchard, und«»- Special Orders, No. IS, A. O. O.. c. 9., will'be assembled by him at some suitable place on Wednes day, April 22, 1908, at 7.30 o'clock P. M.. for the purpose of muster into the miliiary service of the State of Maine. It. Brigadier General Charles E. Davis is hereby ordered to muster in the men who shall have been duly en listed and passed by the examining surgeon, provided that not less than 01 men shall have been found to be duly .Iiialilled. HI. The muster will be made on tri plicate enlistment papers and the mus tering officer will require the signature to he written in ink and in full. He will retain one copy of each enlistment paper and forward two copies to this office. By order of the Commander-in-Chipf r AUGUSTUS B. FAHNHAM, Adjutant General. Special Orders No. 20. I. An election is hereby ordered for the position of captain. 1st lieuten ant and 2d lieutenant in the unat tached company of infantry, National Guard of the State of Maine at Rum ford Falls. II. The election will be held at some suitable place on Wednesday, April 22, 1908, at 9 o'clock P. M. Brig adier Genera) Charles E. Davis will preside. III. The entire proceedings will be conducted strictly in accordance witli the Militia Law and Regulationss for the National Guard. By order ol (be Commander-in-Chief: AUGUSTUS B. FARNHAM, Adjutant General. Major John J. Dooley of Portland, assistant chief of ordnance,- was at the State House Saturday on matters of business connected with the office of the adjutant general. Aside from the object ol’ Major Dooley’s visit several matters were taken up in a general way and included therein was the new Springfield rifle and its ammunition. It may be truthfully said Major Dooley it without doubt the best authority on file military rifle and its ammuni tion in Maine today, and it is doubtful if there is anyone in the country who lias a more complete.knowledge of the rifle and its component parts than he. In speaking of- tlie ammunition which will be supplied for the new Springfield rifle of the 1903 model Ma jor Dooley said that it was the third time that the ammunition had been changed within the past live years, and hat with each change there had come a decrease in the weight of the pro jectile. The cartridge of the old fash ioned Springfield of the model of 1898 carried a charge of 70 grains of black powder behind a 500-grain bullet. In the Krag Jorgensen ride, which suc ceeded the arm above mentioned, the caliber of the arm was reduced to .30. and the weight of the bullet to 220 grains, while behind it 3a grains of smokeless powder called "\W A. pow der.” The ammunition which is to be fur nished for the new ride is the latest production in the way of explosives and projectiles and is wit hunt doubt the most powerful small arm ammuni tion in the world. The cartridges are loaded with 51U grains of pyro cellu lose powder behind a conical bullet weighing 150 grains and composed of a core of lead covered with a jacket of eupro-nickel. This bullet has a muz zle velocity of 2700 feet per second, which is faster than sound travels. The new rifle has the greatest range of any army ride known, the maxi mum range being 6000 yards, more than three miles. Oapt. S. T. Ansell of the 8th United States Infantry will begin the fifth week of his tour of inspection of the National Guard of the State on Wednesday, April 22. Owing to the CONFIRMED PROOF. Residents of Augusta Cannot Doubt What Has Been Twice Proved. In gratitude for complete relief from aches and pains of bad backs—from distressing kidney ills—thousands have publicly recommended Doan’s Kidney Pills. Residents of Augusta, who so testified years ago, now say their cures were permanent. This testimony doubly proves the worth of Doan’s Kidney Pills to Augusta kidney sufferers. Mrs. E. G. Foiger, 29 Cony St., Au gusta, Me., says: "In 1896 I got Doan's Kidney *PiUs at Chas. K. Partridge's drug store, now Willis R. Partridge's, and they cured me of an excruciating backache which had caused me to lose much sleep at night and had made it difficult for me to at tend to my household duties during the day. I allowed my testimony to be published in the local papers, and at the present time 1 am only too pleased to confirm what; I then said. The cure Doan’s Kidney Pills effected has proved permanent.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

For the first time in the history of the superior court for Kennebec coun ty a case of intoxication was tried be fore a jury Saturday. The respondent was Clarence E. York and the case came to the superior.court on an ap peal from the decision of the Augusta municipal court. The case was heard before a drawn jury of which Meivin M.

The wit ness testified that lie noticed that the respondent was intoxicated on the bridge in Augusta on the ?6th day of last March about 6 o’clock in the even ing. He saw that the respondent was apparently going towards home so he did not place him under arrest. On cross-examination the witness testified that tile respondent was drunk but that lie thought that lie would not arrest him but would allow him to go home. Albert H. Fomin, an Augusta police man, testified that he arrested the re spondent and lie was very drunk. On cross-examination by Attorney Whitehouse, the witness testified that the man staggered and although he was not making any disturbance he was “making a show of himself.” "He was making a show of himself, was he,” asked Attorney Whitehouse. “He was.” “And you did not want the young man to make a show of himself?” “No, I did not. He was drunk and staggering.” “And you thought that there was occasion to arrest him.” "I did." Three witnesses were sworn in be half of the defence and the respondent, Clarence E. York, took the stand. The respondent testified that lie had been drinking on the day of the arrest but was not drunk. “X was not any drunker than I am «j> this minute,” said the respondent, “and I have drank nothing but ice cold water today. 1 was not drunk at all but just feeling well. I could walk straight and did not stagger in the least.” The respondent was sharply cross examined; Xw County Attorney.

"I do not know." "How did you purchase the liquor, by the pint?” “No, by the half pint." “Who was with you when you bought the liquor?” "No one. 1 was alone at the time." “You have been arrested before tor being drunk, have you not?" "Yes, three or four times.” “And you were as sober on this day of the arrest as you are now?” "Yes." "And you haven't drank anything today but water?” "No, sir.” Fred D. Storer of Augusta testified that on the day of the arrest the re spondent had been drinking a little but knew what lie was doing and did not stagger. On cross-examination the witness testified that he thought the respon dent would be arrested and he wanted to take him to his room.

MARRIAGE LAWS Of Catholic Church as Revised Now In Effect. The Pre-nuptial Engagement In Writing Is Cut Out.

Mixed Marriages Regulations Are Changed In Radical Way. New York. April IS. With the dawn of Easter day the Kornan Catholic church in this country adopted the new legislation on marriage prescribed in the recent Papal document “Ne Teinere.” In every church, chapel and mission the pastor in charge directed the at tention of the laity to the Pope’s de cisions relating to the sanctity of the marriage state. All the archbishops of the country issued messages and com mentaries on the Papal document to their clergy. Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Glennon of St. Louis and Archbishop ltyan of Philadelphia sup plemented the Pope’s decree with spe cial Instructions, which interpret its significance for the Catholics of the United States. Archbishop Parley addressed an of ficial document to the clergy of the archdiocese of New York, saying: "The action of the church is but an other striking example of tin* wise and prudent policy she has adopted with regard to the Holy sacrament of mat rimony, ever investing this sacred union of man and woman with sol emnity of law and torm timely and suitable to conserve the dignity of the marriage state. Christ had placed in the keeping of the church the seven sacraments: and of the seven matri mony is the most exposed to suffer, from men and women, perversion of its noble purpose through carnal pas sion, desecration of its sancity by mar ital infidelity and violation of its life binding union by divorce.” Then the archbishop makes known the provisions of the new legislation. It em braces the betrothal or engagement; what marriages are valid in the eyes of the church; when a priest may validly per form the marriage ceremony, and regula tions regarding marriage between a Cath olic and a non-Catholic. "The new legislation does not Impose upon people about to marry,” the arch bishop declares, “an obligation to make formal prenuptial engagements in writ ing and before witnesses us a prerequisite for marriage. They may be married, as heretofore, after a simple verbal promise of marriage given to each other.” Tills is a liberal Interpretation of the clause "sponsalla” of the papal decree which directs that, to be valid and canon ical. engagements should be “drawn up In writing duly signed by the parties con tracting sponsalla and attested by proper witnesses." i fie most radical rnange in me present lav.' is that relating to priests anil mixed marriage*. “The decree,” the archbishop continues, “effects a very radicul change in our present discipline with regard to mivcd marriages, which, after Faster, will not he valid unless contracted before a priest hnving Hn Isdlction over marriage in the place In which the marriage ceremony Is performed. Kven when p. dispensation has been obtained, ttie marriage, in order to to valid, must be performed by a priest having such Jurisdiction.” The limitation of the jurisdiction o\ priests In tlds respect is one of the chief clauses in the Papal document, and Arch bishop Farley hr.s especially directed the attention of his clergy to that clause. In plain words, no priest can go Into another city, town, village or hamlet and perform a iimrrhtge ceremony validly unless he has first received authorization from the episcopal authorities or their administra tor?, Hie only exception to this is where the circumstances are such that “mar riage Is necessaiy to relieve conscience,” as in the case of a person about to die. and to “legitimatize any offspring there may he." “Every priest.” Archbishop Farley says, "should appreciate that he is bound to enter In the parish register every mar riage performed by him. The omission of one marriage through culpable negli gence Is a grave matter, not only a se rious violation of precept but a grave In justice to the couple married.” IT WAS A FAKE.

WATERVILLE LAST SERMON. Rev. G. W. Bradile Ter minates His Service As Pastor of Methodist Church -Knights Templars Attend. Preaches His Farewell Sermon on Easter Day. The Easter services of yesterday at the Methodist church marked the dos ing of a five-years’ pastorate in this city by Rev. Charles William Bradlee. The services yesterday morning were attended by St. Omer Commandery, No. 12, Knights Templar, in a body and occupied seats in the front of the auditorium. This was the third time during the five years’ pastorate of Mr. Bradlee that St. Omer Commandery has been guests. Rev. C. \V. Bradlee is also a Sir Knight, being a member ol Claremont Commandery of Rockland, so that tlie service yc-sterday morning had a double significance to the pastor. During the five years lie lias been pastor he lias always been a warm friend to St. Omer Commandery and in appreciation for his services ren dered to them, the commandery. as it was his final service, attended in a body. REV. C. W. BRADLEE. The auditorium and balcony of the church were filled loner before the ser vice commenced and promptly at 10.30 o’clock tne uniformed Knights marched to their seats. The. cl'.ancel of the church and around the pulpit were beautifully dec orated with Easter lilies and potted plants, the fragrance of which tilled the large church. The choir and music was under the direction of Prof. E. P. Mayo. The following was the order of the service: Organ Prelude. Battrnann Authcm-V’Christ Our Passover,” Shepperd Chorus Choir. Response—"Life Over Death Is King. Loud .1. Corey Richardson. Hymns 13S, 161. 163. Organ Postlnde. After greeting the Knights Templar with a few words regarding the signifi cance of Passion week, the preacher took for his text, Job xiv:14, “If a man die. shall he live again?” “Tiie day we celebrate is the answer to this solemn question. Not a guess at it, hut faith's emphatic declaration, ‘there is life beyond the grave.’ The skeptic may laugh ironically, and the doubting Thomas shake his head mournfully, yet the Christian believer is confident and glad.

The agnostic has no pait in its observance, as he sees no meaning in its teaching and shares not in its glorious hope. How different with the Christian. To him Easter is the sweetest and most significant day of all the year. “It shares with Christmas in its joy ful remembrance, hut around the doc trine made prominent at Eastertide clusters the Christian's fondest hopes. We believe in the event this anniver sary commemorates—the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Miracu lous! Yes, the studendous miracle of the ages.

Work on the New Trolley Line Conies to a Very Sudden Stop. Work on this end of the Waterville Augusta Electric Line came to a sudden end last week, when orders came from headquarters to take all equipment including the traction en gine and dump cars and proceed to Sabattus, where work on the other end of the line will be rushed to comple tion. The result of this order had an undesired effect upon the residents of Winslow, North and East Vassalboro, as the understanding was when work was commenced two weeks ago that the line from East Vassalboro to this city would be finished. When the work began two weeks ago everything was prepared, a large crew of men Were at hand and the engineer in charge of the small constructing train had ar rived. Supt. Savage of Lewiston was on hand and had the preparations for the work well in hand. Last week Frank R. Silerman of Philadelphia, one of the directors of the Lewiston, Augusta Waterville was in consultation with Thomas J. Lynch of Augusta. The reason of the conference is not known, but with in a day or so orders were immediately dispatched to the foreman in charge at this end of the road to pack up all implements, send them immediately to Sabattus and suspend work for an in definite period. Consequently the small engine and the greater number of the small dump cars were taken over tho Maine Central to Lewiston, lienee to Sabattus. This action on the part of the directors was unknown to anyone, not even suspected, until the command ing order came. The result of the action Is that the residents of the villages between this city and Augusta are somewhat work ed up and they earnestly hoped that the work would be continued to this city. They would not care even if the road did not come directly to the city. They would be content to come as far as the brick yard in Winslow and walk the remainder of the distance. Just what the intention of the direc tors may be in transferring the crews is not known, but it is understood that the connecting link from Sabattus to Gardiner will be finished this summer and put into immediate operation. The work on the other end of the line will probably take until the latter part of July and then all forces will be put in this field. The citizens of North Vassalboro are particularly angry on account of this move and it is understood tnat sev eral petitions have been circulated in that vicinity to the effect that if any more requests are asked for by the company, they will not be granted. The citizens fully expected to have ac cess to this city this summer, especial ly at the time of the Central Maine Fair. The road from this city as far as East Vassalboro could be put into operation in one month’s time. The Northern Construction Co., the builders of the entire road, are having their troubles in regard to the running of the high tension wires over the property of several Winslow residents. The connecting link from the power station to the terminal of the poles comprises many valuable pieces of property on which are many fine shade trees. The company is willing to buy the trees- but the owners will not sell. The poles are .'1.1 feet and have three arms, the lower for the trolley wire. The current is very high and the resi dents over whose property these must go are of the opinion that the trees will be killed. of it. Faith places the spirit under the sovereignty of things not seen; gives substance, reality definiteness to them. "If we truly celebrate this old day if our hearts are taken captiee by the message which it brings, we do not doubt that we shall rise from the grave, and find at last, the treasures (human loves) we have sent before us into Heaven. Whatever your theory or mine of the resurrection, we will hold fast to the truth, that there is not break in life. We will not cease ever to exist, but live on, though we go out from here to enter there. Without this book we would be helpless. The gospel is a message of life. The New Testa ment reveals what nature and science cannot manifest. The thing that makes physical death terrible is the uncer tainty as to its after meaning. We need the sixth sense of the Christian, the only clairvoyant faculty that has righteous use, so that we may per ceive the things not seen and eternal. It is the invisible things which are real. But not until we are in a spiritual mod do we realize this. We must be baptized in the waters of religion, in order to get into the spiritual depart ment of the soul. Our buried joys are sti'l Joys; they have not ceased to ef fect our hearts. They are planted in the cemetaries, but like flowers they bloom to delight us with their fra grance and beauty. They speak to us. And like the oft-returning birds, they sing to us each Eastertide. “A monastery in Switzerland for merly owned a magnificent organ. On the occasion of an expected invasion, the monks carried their treasure to a neighboring swamp and buried it, thinking to recover it later. The exact spot where it reposed could not be lo cated. The Swiss peasants have a legend that once in every seven years, at midnight, the organ rises out of the swamp and the tender notes of a sym phony tremble on the air and its mighty tones sweep along the aisles of the forest and wake the sleepers in the distant hamlet. So from the graves and tombs, where forms we love re pose, voices familiar and sweet, voices of affection and assurance and hope, come to us today. And the notes of that buried organ woke the sleeper in the distant hamlet, so the tones of those voices we have loved for many a year, awake the sleeping energies of our souls and we are inspired to perpetuate in ourselves what made them worthy here and brought them again beyond. "It is not possible that we should come to complete development in this world. We are ignorant and weak. Yet now are we sons and daughters of the Almighty. We are of royal ancestry; we are children of the King. Then let ycur imagination soar to its utmost; lot it Sly away os fast as it may and take in the whole horoscope of the uni verse, but it doth not yet appear what we shall be.” Rev. C. Bradlee was born In Ros ton. Mass., in 1850. He was educated in the common schools of Boston and at Wesleyan Academy in Wilbraharn and later at the Northwestern Univer sity of Illinois. At the university he tok a course in the liberal arts and theology. While pursuing his studies he supplied pulpits in the Chicago Rock River Conference and later he supplied at Conway, N. H.

H., St. Johnsbury, Vt., Rockland and in 1903 was called to the Methodist church in Waterville. Mr. Bradlec is a Mason, and in his de nomination holds many positions of trust. He is trustee of the Maine Con ference, and while in New Hampshire was trustee of the New Hampshire Seminary at Tilton. He is also one of the trustees of the Deaconess Board of Portland, and chairman of many im portant' committees. He has twice been appointed visitor to the Wesleyan Association from the Maine Confer ence, as well as being appointed a vis itor to Boston University and other sohnols of his denomination. Three times he has been offered the presiding eldership of the Maine Conference. Mr. Bradlee is a speaker of great energy and ability and has given many public addresses in various parts of the coun try^ With the exception of the year of 190i. Mr. Bradlee has regularly deliv er^ Memorial day addresses for the post 17 years. He is frequently called upon to give his popular addresses on “Punctual People,’’ “Masks and Faces," "Apes and Parrots,” "The World s Trio of Faiths," which have delighted large audiences. He is con sidered one of the leading preacherg in his denomination and has numerous calls each year to accept pastorates in other parts of New England. While he has been urged to give his time to the lecture platform, and has been offered positions of trust that would take him away from the pulpit, he has felt that his work was that of the minister’s and he has continued to preach. In the leaving of this field of work the Methodist church loses one that has always been a friend and helper to each and every one of the parish. His five years of beneficial work have semed very short and it is with the deepest of regret that the parishioners give him up. He has been instrumental in the founding of many branches of Christian work and his consistent and untiring labors have placed them upon a sound and permanent foundation. In the time of need he has always been a friend, both in connection with and outside of his field of labor, i As a citizen, Waterville loses one of her most prominent, a man who has always had the welfare of the city at heart and has done his utmost in every possible manner to win the confidence of the citizens in general besides the unceasing work for the parish. The people of the city wish him success in his new field wherever he may be as signed. Weather permitting, the crowd on Alumni field will probably be one of the largest in years, when Colby form ally opens her baseball season today with a game against the University of Maine. The game will be an exhibition and the result will not be consid ered in the championship race. Since the game with Kent's Hill last Wednesday, the Colby team has been putting in some extra hard practice. The team has been shaken up in places and probably a faster team will face the Maine boys this after noon than played last week. CONDENSED DISPATCHES. The five-masted schooner George P.
