The Portland Advertiser says Mr.. Jason
Russell, who is proprietor of u stable in BOWS
Lane, Portland, and who resides at lG Brack
EFT St. has been accustomed to lavish his at
fections on other women than the one to
whom he is legally welded and has finally
come to grief. The affair happened in this
way. Mrs. Russell seems to have suspected
her husbands proclivities, and to have plot
ted for his downfall. Last Friday she start
ed ostensively for Boston with her children
leaving Russell alone in the house with a
servant girl named Elizabeth Crawford, who
had Just been released from jail where she
had been confined for larceny. After she
arrived at Kennebunk she took the express
train and went straight back to Portland, ar
rived there late Saturday night. Proceed
ing to the house, she got Mr.. Bell, q special
policeman, to assist her, and on entering the
room found Mr.. Russell and Miss Crawford
in tlagrante delictu. On this discovery, Mrs.
Russell drew revolver and fired two shots
at the girl who ran up stairs and jumped out
of the window, baretooted and in her night
dress, u distance of twenty feet on to q shed
below, and would have jumped to the ground,
had not the neighbors, who had collected,
interfered and prevented her. She was az
rested and carried to the station. whittier
Mrs. Russell followed, her husband having
wrenched the pistol from her hand AS soon
as the girl was arrested, Russell cleared out,
but Sunday, deputy Sterling and officers Stov
er and Merrill found him at the Brigton
house and arrested him.

THE PRIvATEERING SYSTEM.

AT a meeting of the New York Chamber OF
Commerce, few evenings since, one of the
standing committees submitted u resolution
in favor of petitioning Congress to abolish
privateering in warfare. 1t is a credit to
that organization and a source of satisfaction
to all who are accustomed to consider intel
ligently our country's safeguards in the
future that the resolution was not passed.
The mountaineering policy derives such
sanction and endorsement as is accorded to
it from the erroneous practice Of regardin G
every nation as war power in times of
peace. The republican idea abhors large
standing armies and powerful naves, and it
cannot, therefore, entertain u policy which
will either restrain the arms Of the people OF
cripple the defensive resources Of commerce.
Republicanlsm regards war as unnecessary
but is not blind to the fact that, in the present
condition of the world, it is a contingency
not only possible but highly probable With
this in view it cannot consistently invite or
encourage international strife by elaborate
preparations, neither can it consent to torego
any available means Of defending itself when
attacked. The value of privatecrs rs an eN-
pedent in warfare has been satisfactorily test
ed by us in times past and it is not too
much to assume that circumstances may
again arise in the future when we would re-
greet having deprived ourselves of SO effect
i've an arm of the service. If war is to be
regarded from duelistic stand point then
we may, with propriety if not with safety,
agree not to fire before the word or strike
below the belt. But il ruf1ian assaults us
with mllrlerous intent we must be prepared
to avail ourselves Of all the means Of self
defence at our command. War is war and
our peacc-makers, however noble their
motives or earnest their endeavors, can
never make a cribbage-game ont Of it.

neath Of . Great Billiard Player.

Michael Phelan, whose name as bill
lard player is familiar wherever the
English tongue is spoken, died on Sat
urday afternoon, ut his residence, on
West Twenty third street. Some months
ago his yacht was run down in the bay
and he was thrown into the water, sus-
tanning a shock from which he did not
afterward recover. About three weeks
ago, however, he was confined TO his
room for the first time. Phclan was
Irish, and was born in 1916. He came
to this country when bat seven years OF
age, and subsequently was apprenticcd
to q silversmith. He soon became in
terested in the game of billiards and
took charge of room on Broadway,
near Wall street. In a short time young
Phelan was regarded as the best player
in New York, and his fame even extend
ed to Europe. In later years he kept
billiard rooms at 80 Broadway, in Bur.
toms old theatre on Chambers street,
and at the corner of Broadway and
Tenth street. In each of these places he
accumulated considerable money, and
did much to popularize and elevate this
fascinating game to its present standard.
During the past few years he has given
his sole attention TO the manufacture OF
billiard tables, under the firm of Phelan
&Collender. As billiard expert, Phe-
Ian was once the wonder of the world ;
but among his moro youthful competit-
ors, during the past eight or ten years,
he had come to occupy but second-rate
position.-

How to Kill . Town.

Horace Greeley presents the following
Is q most sure means of destroying the
prosperity of the most fourishing town.
There can be no doubt of its efficiency;
"If you wish to keep town from
thriving, don't put up any more buildings
than you can conveniently occupy your
self. If you should accidently have an
empty dwelling and any one should
want to rent it, ask three times the
actual value of it. Demand a Shylock
price for every spot of land that God has
given you stewardship over. Turn a
cold shoulder to every mechanic and
business man seeking a home among
you. Look at every new conner with a
scowl. Run down the work of every
new workman. Go aboard for wares
rather than deal with those who seek to
do business in your midst. Fail to nd
vertise, or in any other way to support
your local paper, SO that people abroad
may not know. whether any business is
going on in your town or not. Wrap
yourselves up within yourselves, and
cover yourselves up with coat Of i'm
pervious selfshuess. There is no more
effectual way to retard the growth Of a
town than. by actions like these, and
thore are people in every town who are
pursuing the above course every day Of
their lives, and to whom the above re
Mako aFa most respectfully ohored fol

The residents of the eastern part OF
Yorkshire, England, are apprehensive
that their country will one day or other
be washed away entirely. This calami-
ty is not likely to happen just at present
but it is estimated that there is an aver
age loss Of two or three yards along the
entire coast every year, and that about
thirty acres of land disappear annually
between Spurn Point and Marlborough
Head alone. There was once an import
ant sea port called Ravensbnrn on this
coast, which returned member to
Parliament in the reign Of Edward /. ;
but in 1899 there was but little OF it left,
and at the close Of the next century the
ground on which il once stood had to-
tally disappeared. Several villages which
appear on old maps have been destroyed
bv the encroachmcnt Of the waves, and
Kilnsea, which lost its church in 1876,
is likely soon to be swept away alto
gether.

wIND.-In Mr.. Greely's agricultural
address to the farmers at the Minneapo-
lis fair, his great topic OF agricultural
improvement was to utilize the wind
that is now blowing to waste over
the praries. Said he: care you
wide awake to the importance Of this
subject, farmers of minnesota MilliOzs
of horse power, unimproved and unused,
annually sweep over your praries in the
form of wind, doing no good and some
harm; are you sure that this need con-
time indefinitely? Why should the in
tellect that utilized the power of the
wind on the ocean prove unequal to a
like achievement on land? In short,
why should power which costs nothing
run to waste while we delve in the mine
and build the ponderous engine to Gre
ate a dangerous and expensive power
that, after all, is with difficulty trans
ported to the point of use. while the
wind is everywhere, and can be gathered
up and utilized exactly where it is
needed"

Shoshones have a reservation in Wind
