Lieutenant Governor Tabor, of Colo
RADIO, is said to have been in 1878 only
the proprietor Of a small supply store,
such as is usually found in mining
camps. He provided two miners with
food and an outfit for prosecuting tour
around Leadville, STIMULATING to have
certain interest in any claim they might
find. They soon discovered what was
named later the Little Pittsburg mine,
and Mr.. Tabor's profits from that vent

Since then he has been still more sue
cessful in mining operations, and his
wealth is estimated at several millions.

be consumption. He recently cOughed

Lewis Swami of West Randolph has

his tree lodged against another and
brought down a huge limb, striking
him on the side of his head, making a
fearful wound and nearly proving fatal.
A week or two later he struck the
blade of his ak into his leg just above
the knee, penetrating to the bone. No
sooner had this partially healed than it
was torn open by being struck by a
sled. Taking cold in the wound at this
stage, inflammation set in, causing in
tense pain and suffering. As if all this
was not enough, a felOn came on one of
his hands from which it swelled into
anything but human shape.

The Increase of Crime.
SOME STARTLING FIGURES.

SOME STARTLING FIGURES.
1t is frequently argued that the world
is growing wiser and better, and that
we are g.adually approaching the mil
lenium season, when every man shall
know the Lord, and the Gospel be given
to every nation and Kindred and tribe.
We hope that this is so but in view of
some very startling statistics tabulated
by c. w. Goddard of Portland, Me-, one
is led to the inevitable conclusion that
the millennium has not yet begun in
Maine.
Mr.. Goddard presents a comparison
of the prison report for 1880 with that
for 1851, showing that the murders have
increased 425 per cent, manslaughters
400 per cent, murderous assaults 1873,
arson l25, rape 500, attempts at rape
500, the average per cent of increase
being $40, and the number of convicts
from 81 to 267. The increase in pOpu-
latioB in the same time has been II per
cent. Divorce and insanity are on the
increase, and the percentage of youth
full convicts is also much larger. The
number of convictions for murder and
arson in 1880 was nine, or one in 3d.
900 persons, while there were but two
in the state from $50 to 1910, or one
for every i ,000, 900, showing an increase
of - fold. Evidently the state is rotten
to the core, and as Mr.. Goddard says
"A community where crime, immorali-
ty, suicide and madness are rapidly on
the increase, is surely verging toward
barbarism.n
The reader cannot fail to notice that
the crimes of violence, especially upon
women, have increased out of all pro-
portion to the lesser crimes: Arson l25
per cent. murder 425 per cent, rape 500
per cent? 1t is evident that either law
is very imperative in Maine, or else
some other penalties are required for
these heinous crimes. Does any one
know that Maine is a sinner, in this par
ticular, above all other states Would
not the statistics show pretty much the
same state of things in Massachusetts,

Accident and Crime.

While a passenger train on the Old
Colony Railway, from Taunton for

and New England road at WalpOle at
7.30 Friday morning, it was run into
by freight train on the latter road,
killing one man and wounding eight
other persons. 1t was so foggy the en-
gineer did not see the signal.
A passenger train on the North Penn
sylvania Railway ran into a freight
train Friday, through misunderstand-
ing of telegram on the part of one OF
the engine drivers, killing two persons,
fatally wOunding four and slightly in
juring several others.
A terrific fre-damp explosion oc-
Cured Friday in a coal mine at Rob
bins, Ohio, resulting in the instant

many others, some of whom will die.
There were great freshets last week
in Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New
York and New Jersey. In Ohio and
Indiana the destruction of property has
been great. In addition to the melting
snow a heavy rain storm has prevailed
almost necessarily, from Monday to
Friday, and nearly every stream in the
two states has overlooked it's banks,
submerging farms, carrying off bridges,

Note and Comment.

Springfield Republican Every day
brings its failure now, often a defalca-
ton, and in each case speculation is
usually the cause. The storm may be
good way off yet but the drops grow
bigger and bigger, and come closer to-
gether.
Louise Michel, the female communist
agitator in Paris, says of her conception
of the proper position of woman, at is
all summed up in the words free mar
rage A woman can never be mans
equal while the civil power recognizes
marriage as a sacred bond. The young
women of France are sold like slaves to
men whom they learn to hate"
Even if Stanley Matthews were the
victim of popular miSjudgment, which
the acts and utterances of his public
career prevent any one from pretending,
the general belief in his unfitness fOI
the supreme bench would be a reason
for rejecting the nomination. A mem
Der of the supreme court should be be-
yond suspicion or distrust.- New York
Times.
St. Adams Messenger: Are the
women intending to vote in school
meetings, is the question which the
men would like to have answered, and
in the affirmative. But none except
those who are put on the grand list are
eligible, and women desiring to vote
should look out for preliminaries
straight away.
Springfield Republican ave need
money to prosecute the inquiry" says
Marshall Jewell in a confidential circu-
lar just published about the search into
the forgery of the Morey letter. "We
are asking our friends to contribute in
sums of 500 or less" Mr.. Jewell
ought to apply to w. II. Barnum. He
is more interested than any other living
man in having all the responsibility of
the forgery brought home to some one
else. a round check sent to Mr.. jew
ell for this purpose by the chairman of
the democratic national committee
would do Mr.. Barnum's political future,
what there is left of it, a world of good.
Barnum has laid out more money in
politics and to-day has less to show for
it than almost anybody else in the
trade. Here is a chance, late chance,
but still a chance, to make permanent
investment in character.

The Pardoning Power.

A measure has been introduced into
the Legislature of Connecticut, taking
away from that body the power of par
doning prisoners, which the Legislature
now exercises, and comforting it OH a
board of Pardons, consisting of the Gov
ernor, the chief judge of the supreme
court of errors, and the president of the
board of directors of the state prison.
This board is to have the power of
granting not only absolute pardOns and
reprieves, but also conditional pardOns
and Communication of punishment. This
seems to us an improvement over the
law in many states which puts the en-
tire power into the hands of the Gov
ernor. Adding the chief justice aud a
director in the state prison to this board,
gives to it both the law and the facts.

The Hayden Case.

The hearing of Edwin G. Hayden,
convicted of the murder of his wife,
and sentenced to be executed next
week on Friday, was held Wednesday
at Montpelier before Judges Pierpoint
and Veazey. The petition was for a
new trial, and the evidence of insanity,
etc, introduced, was similar to that
given at the Legislative hearing. The
decision of the Judges has not trans
PRED, but it is not generally thought
that they will interfere with the execu-
ton of the law in such cold-blooded
murder as this.
