Mere and There.

There are still two or three women

under senteuce of death in the United States, but it would be very foolish to

risk anything on the assumption that

auy one of them will ever be executed. Why shouldn't a woman be hung for a

brutal, premeditated murder? Why. because!

The American National Dancing Asso- ciation has decided to discard the term

"professor," and its members will be known simply as "teachers of dancing." It will never «Ιο for their example to be- come contagious, or we shall have box-

ing masters, and roller skate experts, and sleight-of baud performers all dis- carding the title, and there will be no-

body left to bear the dignity of it except the instructors in our higher institutions of learning.

The Pennsylvania Railroad, in the interest of the public welfare, has pro- hibited the sale of "detective stories and

bloodthirsty novels of every nature" within its stations. A must commenda- ble move, but where is the line drawn? What becomes of Cooper, and (.'apt. Marryatt, and Robert Louis Stevenson, and Conan Doyle, and many other works of gtandard English literature?

Portland is greatly pleased at the

possibility of having the peace conference transferred there from Washington, and does not at all mind the reflection upon its life and society which an over-sensi- tive town might discover in the following dispatch from Washington:

Washington, July 6.—While the place for the hot weather sessions of the peace plenlpoten tlaries has not yet been selected. It Is learned that Portland, Me., 1» belt, κ regarded ver.·

favorably. Bar Harbor, Newport and other well known resorts have been considered, but are objectionable on account of the crowds and the social attentions which would be shown the members of the conference. In Portland or Its Immediate vicinity, It Is felt could be obtained the desire·! retirement while at the same time af fording a cool climate.

John's Letter. The report has gone forth that Brother

Til ton's liberty has been restricted, cur-

tailed. cut short, or "driv in," so to

speak. And that he stands in jeopardy every hour. It behooves you, brother, to step lightly and to go softly, for there are torpedoes lying around loose and loaded.

Say, is the house of God a powder house? Is the kingdom of the Redeemer built on combustible materials that any little jar may break it in pieces or send it kiting? We don't think so. It has a

surer foundation than brick or stone, and the breath of human passion affects but the breather. "God is in His heav- ens. All's right with the world."

Nineteen years ago we had a call to come down—from Uumford—to help Bucktield celebrate, h I). Fuller has special reason to remember the day. as he betran then and there to realize what convenient members arms are—after their loss. And now another, Philip Withington, goes his way with an empty sleeve. The accidents that come to us

are ofteu the results of our own careless- ness, and the powers that rule do not al- ways interpose to save us from the re- sults of our own recklessness or folly.

The W. C. T. U. held a picnic at Bear Pond the Fourth. There was also a

gathering at Swan Pond. Also a ball game at Chase's Mills. And we didn't go anywhere but to the village as usual. Very quiet there.

Mrs. Munlock is expecting a sister front Illinois to visit her soon.

Out of three dozen chickens we have thus far saved six. Kats, maybe. The chicken-roost robbers will be disappoint- ed. Rough on them. John.

Albert h. Andrews. Albert II. Andrew^, formerly a well

known farmer in Paris, who removed to

Billerica, Mass., a few years since, died in that place on the 24th of June. The correspondent of the Lowell Citizen in Billerica says: "The funeial of Albert Andrews took place Monday afternoon at the Congregational church at 2:.'Î0 o'clock. Prayer was offered at the house, after which tue body was taken to the church. During the service the quartette sang "Lead, Kindly Light," "The Homeland," and "Sometime We'll Understand." Mr. Dale. Mr. Wiers and Mr. Κ vans eaih gave a brief" address, ex-

pressing appreciation of Mr. Andrews' high value as a farmer, as a man and a

citizen, emphasizing his gentleness, his energy, and his high moral purpose. The number of friends that gathered in spite of the rain was a fitting testimony of their high regard for him. The Odd Fellows, Orange and New England Order of Protection attended in a body. Each order sent a beautiful Moral tribute, be- sides flowers sent by frienis and neigh- bors. Owing to the rain the Odd Fel- lows' burial service was read in the church. Friends followed the body to Fox Hill cemetery, where prayer was offered and the body buried."

Lost a hand.

ΓΝΓΟβΤΓΝΑΤΕ CELEBRATION FOR A

Bt'CKKIKM» Y01"NO MAN.

Philip Withington of Bucktield while celebrating the Fourth of July hail his left hand so badly smashed by the bursting of a gun barrel that it was found necessary to remove it at the wrist.

Mr. Withington is about twenty-three years of age, married and has one child. He is a son of Frank P. Withington of Bucktield and is employed in the brush factory. As Mr. Withington is "left- handed" the one lost practically amounts to the loss of a right hand. He was

holding the gun over his head with both hands when the accident occurred.

With the exceptiou of the use of

dynamite and the consequent destruction of the old cannon that has been a land- mark on the Common for many years, the Fourth was less "strenuous" than usual. The feature of the day was a

base ball game between the married and siugle men iu which it took fourteen in- nings to decide which was the better team. In the end the old veterans

demonstrated their ability and they and their anxious wives and children showed manifest signs of delight when in the' fourteenth inniug the married men suc-

ceeded in landing the game by a score of 8 to T. it was a very interesting enter-

tainment, not just what would be ex-

pected of professionals, but better, much better, as au entertainment. At the end of the seventh inning the score was 4 to 4. At the end of the ninth it had reach- ed 0 to 0, and at the end of the thirteenth it stood at 7 to 7. The married men are

stayers, and when they landed the win- ning score in the fourteenth inning, every ona of 'em looked as if he had just pulled out a teu pound trout, and they marched otf the Held of battle like a

young calf behind a band of music. The "boys" are not satisfied—they want to try again.

Vegetation is on the jump. As tbe days grow shorter the air

Greenwood. Yes, the glorious Fourth has come aud

"one to return again in one year: but who will be here then to celebrate'. Many, no doubt, who were here Tues- day, but not all.

Mrs. Scott Merrill, now of Norway, came up for the double purpose of visit- ing her sister, Mrs. Frank Davis of South Woodstock, and picking cultivat- ed strawberries for her father, Dauiel Bryant.

The remains of Mrs. Daniel Davis of Norway were brought up and buried iu the Bennett cemetery, so called, accom-

panied bv her husband, their only son

and one 'daughter, her other daughter, Mrs. Robertson, being detained at home by sickuess.

Duly about a generation since we knew'the whole family of children to whom Mrs. Davis belonged. It then consisted of two sons aud three daugh- ters. Jacob Morgan, the oldest brother, was a soldier in the civil war aud died at

Bryant's Pond nearly l"> years ago. His younger brother, Charles Morgan, went out w*est where he married quite a num- ber of years ago; but as bis friends have heard "notliiug from him for sometime they suppose him to be dead.

The first sister to be called away was the wife of Klijah Libby, then living in Norway. For his second wife Mr. Libby married Miss Ellen Gorman, and thev now live in this neighborhood.

The second sister fftr whom the death angel called was Mrs. Cummings of South Paris, who died only a few weeks ago, soon to be followed by the last one of the family, Mrs. Davis, as before men- tioned.

Our schools closed the last of June with a picnic in Newton Bryant's pas- ture, accompanied by the writer for the purpose of looking after our two little kids; but once there the teacher insisted on our taking a part in the exercises, which we did by speaking two pieces of our own getting up. The dinner was tirst class, consisting of several kinds of cake, pie and ice cream: and the festival was a grand success for the little folks ^

Scott Merrill, who has made apple barrels by the piece for several seasons, now thinks of buying the lumber and manufacturing them on his owu hook. He has been round among the apple growers with a sample barrel, called here to-day on his way home feeling quite encouraged in the enterprise.

Haying is right here with us. Some have already begun, while hoeing still lingers.

East Sumner. Absence from home may account for

the lack of any items from this place '^The^Glorious Fourth" was unusually quiet and about the only noise made was in the early morning when the circular saw drum corps gave a free and appreciated concert in the streets. Γο otherwise make their advent known, *n ox yoke was seen hanging to the arm jf a telephone pole and a wheelbarrow took the "wings of the morning" and tailed aloft, alighting on top of George Maxim's hog house. But in the main the boys behaved well and no injury was done. Quite a little display of fire- works in the evening closed the day's [estivities.

C. H. Prince, G. W. Tilton and G. W. Brown are building an automobile house. All master workmen. Mr. Prince soon

expects a machine. What shall we say of the Glorious

Fourth? Nature provided a model day, it could not have been better. Further than this there was not one pleasing feature, and here we will drop the cur-

tain. There have been no recent cases of

assault, but an occasional threat of ar-

rest. Say, were you ever excommunicat- ed for refusing to kiss the Pope's toes!

The senior editor of the Democrat was

in town Thursday accompanied by three ladies.

I had a call from a correspondent of the Lewiston Journal, as 1 frequently do. He was a young man of good ad- dress, but I forgot to ask his name.

Allen Irish of Bath spent the Fourth with his parents, as did Luther and wife of West Paris.

A swarm of bees alighted in a maple on the lawn of I. W. Shaw on the 4th inst. There were a goodly number of

spectators to witness the hiving. G. W. Browu directed proceedings, and Fred Holland went up the ladder well pro- tected, but George had no protection and the bees followed down and paid their

compliments to him. But George never

runs for a bee. Bowing to earth with his face covered by his hands, he pre- sented a picture for an artist. Abel Irish claimed the bees.

Mrs. Thomas S. Bridgham is very ill. Carlton Gardner, we hear, is some

better. Mrs. Benj. Gerrish, we are sorry.to

report, is to go to the hospital for treat- ment.

Contractor Kerr of Rumford Falls came down Wednesday a la automobile, accompanied by a lady. The next morn-

past, aud with it tied, all pristine joys, thus early tied.

STKKAKKD MOt'NTAIN.

Items of news are few and far be- tween.

The glorious Fourth passed off very quietly in this vicinity. W. E. Waldron, who was visiting your correspondent on

Wednesday, told of a little accident which might easily have been a big one, that befell his little son Ivan. The youngster put a package of firecrackers autl a handful of matches into his hip pocket, aud started for a neighbor's to

celebrate with a chum. When about half way there the friction ignited the matches, and to the terror of the boy the firecrackers began to go off. The youngster had his celebration all to himself with a little circus performance thrown in, but was lucky enough to

get out of it with a few burns on his

hip and the loss of a pocket; but what would have been the result if his clothes had taken tire?

The fishing weather still holds good. Plaisted Whitman and Sherman Jordan went down to a near-by brook the other afternoon and returned triumphant with a striug of eighty (SO) speckled beauties.

Your correspondent received from Mrs. Adelbert Jordan a single stalk of rhubarb which measured after the leaf was cut off, 2S inches in length and 41 inches in circumference. It was of the strawberry variety, and was sufficient for one large pie. Mrs. Jordan intends raising it for market another year, and we should think she would not lack for customers.

Field strawberries are large aud plenti- ful and form a large part of my diet.

'•The Wings of the Morning" is evi- dently drawing to a close, ami it has beeu one of the most interesting stories that I have read for a long time. Let us hope the next one will bo as good.

We»t Parts. We notice last week's issue of the

democrat said " Bang! " but we thought ι

boat S o'clock the morning of the t 'ourth the bang was rather too promi- ] lent here. It was rather a noisy night nd at that time some of those who ] rere celebrating set off a heavy charge (

»f dynamite near the railroad station 1 vhicb exploded with such violence as to <

ear a deep hole in the ground and ι

everely shake the houses in the near ι

'icinity. It proved to be somewhat of <

in extra expense to the participants as ] ι dozen or more squares of glass were J

>roken in tbe depot and 18 large lights <

ihattered in the bouse of Mr. Frank L. (Viliis. During the day it was very quiet sxcept for the occasional ringing of the jells. In tbe evening there were a few ireworks, A. K. Shurtleff having the ι

Bryant's Pond.

The Glorious Fourth passed off like lots of its predecessors. Lots of noise, lots of dust, and lots of fun, especially when the horribles made their appear- ance, Leaded by the band in costume. Dell Cole, dressed as an organ grinder, with Richard Johnson as monkey, creat- ed much merriment and took the first prize. The second prize was divided between two get-ups, one an automobile and the other home bakery. Wo are

not posted in regard to the distribution of prizes in all the races. The hundred- yard dash was won by one of the Mauger boys who presented the prize to the Village Improvement Society.

The Bryaut's Pond ball nines came off victorious all round, the first nine de- feating Gorham 11 to 0, and the Juniors defeating South Paris :l to 2. The Juniors' game was much more interest- ing than the first nine, they being s<i

evenly matched. There were only two who entered the

tub race, Bearce and Farnum. The grand ball was quite well attend

ed, but not as largely as was expected probably on account of the heat. A nice supper was served in the dining hall below.

On the night of July .'Id there was an

attempt made to enter the houso of the late Alden Chase. One of the cellar windows was taken out, but the windows being double, they failed to gain an en- trance there. After trying another cel- lar window and failing, the kitchen screen was removed, but the window be- ing securely fastened, the thief gave up and departed.

The house of Clinton Littleiield was also entered by the cellar window, and food carried away. The thief seemed hungry, as there was nothing but food stolen.

An Historic Gun. Ποη. Edward L. Parris writes the

New York Times as follows regarding an

ancient gun which lias many times assisted in celebrating the Fourth in Paris:

"As newspaper items relating to the old Parris Gun usually appear in differ- ent parts of the country at about this time of the year it is assumed that a

brief statement in regard to it will be of interest.

"This flintlock gun was quite old when brought to this country from

England in 10S3 by my great-great-great- grandfather, Thomas Parris. It was

handed down from fathor to son until it came into the possession of my grand- father. Josiah Parris. Ho was born Aug. 30, 1700, and enlisted in the Revo- lutionary War in July, 1770, when fif- teen yearH old. In tho early part of

September, 1770, a few days after ho was sixteen, ho was mustered into the

army, and had the gun with him, but was not permitted to carry it, as it was

then considered too old for military service.

"He brought it to Buckfleld, Me., in

1703, where it remained until his death March 24, 18'jO, when it was taken to Paris, Me., by my father, Virgil D. Parris, where it has been in our family ever siuce.

"It has been lired on every Fourth of

July since the Declaration of Independ- ence was signed."

Karly Thursday morning tho post office at Bowdoinham was entered by burglars, for the third time within a

year. The safe was blown open and all tho stamps and money were taken. It is understood that the loss is heavy, though the officials cared to make no

definite statement in regard to the amount. The oxplosion, which occurred at 1:30 o'clock, was distinctly heard by many people in the village, but no one

arrived in time to get any trace of the men.

MOVING TRAINS, FIRST MADE ON THE

GRAND TRUNK ItETWEEN TORONTO

In a report from Chicago announcing that the Chicago & Alton will establish a system of wireless telegraphs on all its lines runniug between Chicago and St. Louis, President Felton, of the C. Λ- Α. R. was quoted as having said, in re-

gard to a demonstration made of the system on the company's line on Thurs- day: "This is the lirst time that the wireless system has ever been used to

communicate with persons on a moving train." The Grand Trunk Railway .Sys- tem has the distinction of having been the lirst railroad to use the wireless system for the exchange of signals be- tween a moving train and a station. >The demonstration was made on the occasion of the -17th annual meeting of the American Association of General Pass- enger and Ticket Agents, held at Port- land, Me., in October, 1902. The com-

pany ran a special train through from

Chicago to Montreal and thence to Portland. One of the principal attrac- tions offered to their guests by the Grand Trunk was a successful demon- stration of wireless telegraphy to a mov-

ing train, made by I)r. E. Rutherford, D. Sc., F. R. C. S., (who has recently won great fame through his investiga- tions of Radium) and I)r. Howard 'Γ. Itarnes, I).Sc.,F.R.C.S., both of McGill University. St. Dominique, a station in the province of Quebec, was selected as the transmitting station, and from this point continuous communication was

kept up with the train (which was run-

ning at the speed of βϋ miles an hour), for several miles.

At York Ilarbor early Sunday morn-

afterward found.

A Trip Into Franklin County. East Sumner, July 4.

Your reporter returned on June 30 from a few days' tour in Franklin County, stopping off at Farmington, Strong, Freeman and other places. We started for our eigbtb annual trip to tbe lakes, bnt owiDg to ill health and time limitations, only went up the line as far as Strong Junction. Our intention waH

to go via Phillips and Kangeley and re-

turn via Bemis and Ruraford Falls. A tour of the lake region, going one way and returning another, affords one a

grand trip through some of the most at- tractive sections of Maine. The scenery is grand, diversified and delightful, em-

bracing gems in field and forest, lake and mountain, that cannot fail to inspire and delight the visitor. The rail, boat and hotel service is first-class and all that can be desired.

At Farmington we stopped off a few hours and were shown every courtesy at the Stoddard House, W. II. MacDonald, proprietor. This is an old revered hostelry, but gives guests the best of service and is very popular with travel- ing men. After dinner Mrs. MacDonald gave us a two hours' ride about this beautiful village, giving us a fine oppor tunity to view the business and resi- dential sections, the normal and high school buildings, also the location of the "Little Blue" school grounds, the "Willows" and othor places of interest.

At -1:40 p. m. we boarded the Sandy River, narrow gauge cars, and soon

reached Strong Junction where the Franklin and Megantic takes us to King- field and Bigelow. On the train from Farmington to Livermore Falls we again met that genial popular conductor, Dudley, who has seen :}<> years' service on this line. Dudley is an Oxford man, and is always glad to see Oxford County boys on his train.

While our native county of Oxford is dearer to us than any other, Franklin follows a close second. Fine productive farms, grand scenery, most hospitable citizens and attractive homes, make Franklin County a very desirable place to visit.

Of the approach via Riunford Falls, wo may speak later, after making the

trip. Travel lakeward is good and will

probably continue to be for weeks to

come. (»ur next trip will probably take in the new Sanatorium at Hebron, Elmwood Farm, Poland Spring, and down the lino of tbe L·., 15. & B. to

Brunswick and Bath. Si.octm.

AN UNSTII.TED DESCRIPTION OF IlERRON

COMMENCEMENT FUOM HIM.

IIkukon, Juho 28, 100"». Novor having visited Hebron Academy

when they have what they call com-

mencement day, I had a good oppor- tunity to go and availed myself of the privilege. Why they call it commence- ment day is more than I can tell, unless it is to wind up study and commence

deviltry, or try to get their own living. On account of the bad weather the

crowd was rather small, so I found room

according to my strength. When I got there about the first person I met was

my old friend, the Hon. George 'iisbee of Kumford Falls. At first he did not

see me. but after I said "IIow are ye, George'."' he bowed his head and knew me, and said it was a wet day, and told me to follow him. lie did not invite me to the grand stand (and I was glad he didn't) but showed me a good seat and gave me a programme of the dewins. Then he left me and mounted the plat- form and sat down with the rest of the nobility. lie made a good appearance with his clean shirt and white vest on.

There were on the stage some I did not know. Hut Judge Uonney I know, for he had a large rotundity of body.

The principal man, Mr. Sargent, wore his official robe and looked some like a

monk. The graduates wore the same kind of robes and looked like small monks or monkeys, just as you are a mind to call them. The talent these graduates showed in their parts in my opinion was an honor to both teachers and students.

At noon we went to the house of Mr. Glover and ate our dinner. After diu- ner I thought 1 would have a good smoke, but 1 soon found I had left my pipe at home. I felt bad aud no doubt I looked bad. One of Mr. (Hover's boys noticed that something was wrong and said "Mister, what is the trouble'.'" I explained to him my case and he said "Don't worry, I am going down to the store and will get you a new one." He soon returned with a cob pipo and I smoked to my heart's content. I shall remember that boy as long as I live.

When the bell rang I started for the church. I secured a good seat whore I could see all that was going on, but about tho time the exorcises commenced a long bodied lady came aud sat down right in front of me, which obstructed the view, but sho finally changed lier position, then I had a good sight the rest of tho meeting. Owing to had weather the graduates did not play ball.

If you would live and die happy sub- scribe for tho Oxford Democrat at once. Wm. Cushman.

CHAMBERLAIN'S STOMACH AND LIVER TABLETS BETTER THAN A DOCTOR'S PRESCRIPTION. Mr. J. W. Turnor of Truhart, Va.,

says that Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets have done him more good than auything he could get from the doctor. If any physician in this coun-

try was able to compound a medicine that would produce such gratifying re- sults in cases of stomach troubles, biliousness or constipation, his whole timo would be used in preparing this one

medicine. For sale by Shurtleff it Co., South Paris; Jones Drugstore, Oxford; Noyes Drug Store, Norway.

pepsia, or Stomach Trouble that will not

yield to the digestive and strengthening influence of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. This remedy takes the strain of! the stomach by digosting what you eat and allowing it to rest until it grows strong again. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure affords quick and permanent relief fronv Indigestion and ill stomach troubles, builds up the lystem and so purities that disease can lot attack and gain a foothold as when η a weakened condition.
