A writer on France in 1916 said {:
"The best claret is made on farm
called La Fite, which is not large, and
can furnish but small portion of the
wine sold under that name. People
say that the quality of the fruit differs
on the adjoining ground even close to
the partition fence" And now
"Chateau La Fife" can be bought in
any liquor store in America. How that
'farm" must have grown since 1915!

The Glynn Murder Case.
Bangor Whig.)

The prosecution in the Glynn case closed
Tuesday forenoon, when Mr.. Merrill opened
for the defence. The first witness was the
prisoner, Mrs Mary Glynn. She testified that
during her husbands sickness her cares for her
daughter and her daughters infant child and
other duties about the house were so great she
neglected her husband during his last sick
ness, refusing, when he requested her on the
day before he died, to put plaster on his side,
and that he pronounced curse upon her. say
ing that Giving or dead" he would have her
out of that house before the year expired For
this reason she believes that she was influenced
by her deceased husband beyond her own con-
troll to take the life of her daughters child.
She testified that she went to the bsd where
the child was sleeping with its moths +, and
took the child in her arms and Immediately
"death grab" came over her, and she bore the
child away to the cellar and there strangled 1t
with a Woolen scarf about its neck, and buried
it in hole which was dug by her husband in
his life time, in which to secrete spirituous
liquors; that her senses were gone from her
during the act of killing, and she was over
come with grief as soon as her reason was re-
stored, bitterly crying over the dead body for
half an hour before she buried 1t.
The defence is insanity or irresistible i'm
pulse, and the claim is that the prisoner was
passing through period of life when great
grief, extreme poverty and other disturbing
surroundings may cause temporary insanity
Drs. Sanger, Jones and Hanson have been
called for the defence and examined upon the
question of insanity.
1t will be remembered that the victim was

We are about equally SORRY for Plaisted and

we cannot reconcile in this world, besides the
wrangling Fusionists. How, lfor instance,
shall we reconcile Judge Gilbert's former
standing as leader of the Fusion rank and
file with the Fusion theory that he deserved to
be beaten for Congress as the Fusion candi-

To the Editor Of the Press:
In looking over the names of the active men
in Fusion conventions in the State as we'll as
their candidates from the Greenback party it
brought to my mind other days when many
of them haunted the corridors of Republican
conventions furious with hunger for office
How they have bored collectors of customs for
places, filing their waste baskets with duns
for place! There is Plaisted, gaunt and hun
CRY for office! He has stood in the political
market places for years,lk an eastern devo,ee,
"alms dish" in hand, bowling for any kind of
provender that might be dropped in it. Thing,
discharged by the Republicans of Kennebeo,
from an office that paid one dollar per day, for
the reason that he wasn't worth it, is rewarded
Congress His assinine sntics have made him
laughing stock all over the State. When
you come to the county ticket you find every
one for himself. ready to trade out his fellow
on the same ticket. Such a crowd of political
"loiterers' were never before presented 20 the
people of Maine for their suffrage They are
political looters, impecunious in political
principle, and some of them are not solvent
morally.
How some OF these men ever got even men
toned for place is to the writer a mystery
When l think of them it almost makes me a
convert to the teachings of G. William Curtis
ct ais. Fellow Republicans you owe it to the
credit of the Direo State to bury these
Fusionists from Plaisted down to Isaac Besrce
of Meddybemps Once out of sight they will
never re-appear in politics. Such an svent
can only occur once in century.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
THE MAsCOTTE.

THE NAsCOTTE.
Ii the Alice Oates Opera Troupe had made
their debut here this season in "The Mascotte"
instead of the "Princess of Trebizonde" they
would have scored hit for, as far as rea' fun
is concerned, they made moro out of Audran's
work than most of their predecessors. The
audience last night fairly screamed over the
comical acts and sayings of the principal NOM
bers of the company and encored many
features which, the length of the opera would
not admit of repetition.
Mrs. Oates was very vivacious and Frenchy
Bettina. She threw herself into the character
with JUNCTION, aud first gave a "reminiscences of
Lolita and then one of Aimee. She introduced,
as did the others, a great deal of new business
that pleased her hearers immensely, and in her
somewhat of sweetness, she showed herself an
accomplished vocalist
Mr.. James Sturges was host as Lorenzo.
When he appeared in Portland as ''Dick
Deadeye," some time ago, he delighted his
hearers, but it is as the grand duke in this
pleasing opera that he surpasses himself. 1t is
true it is burlesque-and "The Mascotte" is
comic opera-but great deal OF allowance
can be made on that score. Mr.. Charles Stur-
ges was very acceptable Rocco, Mr.. Bell
made good Pippo, Miss T,wnsend was
very shapely Prince Frederick, and Miss
Caldwell did not offend as Fiametta. The
ladies of the chorus were, most of them pref
ty. The music was fairly given in several of
the principal ems smbles, and the costumes
were very elegant.
KATE CLAYTON.
There was large advance sale yesterday
for Miss Kate Claxton's perform ances which
will be given at Portland Thoatre next Friday
and Saturday evenings. OF the performance
of "The Double Marriage an exchange says:
This fine emotional drama was performed at
the Institute last evening TO good audience.
The plot of this play is founded on a we'll
known novel of White Lles'' by Chas Reade,
and was dramatized by the author. Its per-
formance was success is every respect and
was heartily applauded. Miss Claxton as
Josephine, produced great impression and
added to tho laurels she had won by her act
ing of the previous evening. Miss Mary
Drake, as Rose, acted in the most natural and
pleasing manner and her performance could
not have been improved upon. Miss Vaders
showed much ability in the part of the baroness
and Miss Lawes was an admirable Jacintha
Mr.. Stevenson was excellent in the part OF
Emile and Mr.. Barton Hills Raynol was very
fine. The other parts were taken in satisfac-
tory manner, especially Mr.. Dunston's Dard,
played here by him two years, and Mr.. Robert
son's Riviere being particularly good.
