The Georgia and South Carolina analyses
give about the same difference in favor of the
Cumberland.
In view of all this, the directors OF the Cum
berland Bone Company think they have right
to claim for the Cumberland fertilizer four
good reasons why it should lead all others in
sales, and should ultimately supersede all
other brands among the farmers Of Maine.
1st-It is the best.
2d-It is the cheapest, quality aud price con-
sidered.
3d-It is home product, manufactured in
Maine by company of Maine men, chartered
by the laws of Maine. and paying taxes in
Maine.
4th-The use of Cumberland instead Of all
other brands would save to the farmers of
Maine twenty-five to fifty thousand dollars
annually,

An Excentinnal Life.


DR.. Asa Danforth, who died in Norway, Sat-
urday, June 16, S3, has probably had longer
active, professional career than any other in
this State. 1t is likely that he haB ridden more
miles in team than any man in it, and GER
tainly he has travelled more miles over the
roads of Oxford county than any other has
ever travelled.
For nearly sixty years, full fiftJ-sght years,
he was busy engaged in his work, and during
all that time he never lost day, it is thought,
on account of sickness, and he never refused
call on account of weather or unseasonableness
Of it, or on account OF the poverty of the pa
tient. 1t is said that once, when he fell from
his wagon and broke his arm i've miles from
his house, that he found his way home alone,
calling two students OF his into the room, took
hold of chair, set the broken bones himself
and kept on with his business as if nothing
had happened. When he had practiced thirty
five years, travelled through such storms and
cold, through night as well as day, it was COM
mon for men TO say that the DIR. could not
stand such life much longer, but he continu-
cd it for nearly quarter of century.
DIR. Danforth was born in Tyngsburo, Mass,
Aug. IS, 1895. He studied at Dartmouth, and
received physicisn'ss diploma July rs, 1920,
at % years OF age. In September OF that year
bOacobHNh
lage there were then perhaps, twenty houses
He married Dec. 6, 1894, Miss Abigail g. Reed,
sister of the late Hon. Henry q. Reed, the
fruits of this union being seven sons and one
daughter, of whom all are living except one
son; and all have lived well and credtably.
The DIR. was nominated for and elected TO
the Legislature, much against his wishes, 10
1852, his friends insisting that he must run on
account OF his popularity, as the district was
close and the times exciting.
His life was exceptional because, although
man of convictions. and an active man, he lit
orally left No enemy. He is said to have never
pressed any poor man for pay, and his books
show that His life was q spotless one; no flaw
seems to have marked IT. Never did man live
with more universal respect. His unsulled
character is a bright, a cheering spot, where
there are SO many failures.
His funeral took place at his house, where
many neighbors and friends were gathered and
was conducted by the pastor of the Universal
ist society, to which he was attached all his
life, and which he actively supported

What Our Government Did TOR O Dom

On Thursday 18th Secretary Frelinghuy'
sen telegraphed Minister Lowell, stating
that the house of representatives had
brought the case of o'Donnell to the pres
ideuts notice, in the hope that the latter
might secure reasonable d.lsy OF the ex-
ecutlon of the sentence, and ascertain
whether the prisoner was an American cit.
izsn, and whether there Was an error in the
trial In the telegram Mr.. Lowell was in
suucted AS follows:
As before Instructed, you will consider
Old onneliis citizenship established, there
being in Great Briran no judicial examina-
ton on appeal proceedings Ia a criminal
trial. Possible errors can only be Corrected
through a new trial or executive action up
on the sentence. Therefore, this govern
ment is anxious that such care I'll examina-
ton be given to the proceedings OF this
case as to discover the error, should one be
committed. You are therefore directed by
the president to request delay of the exc.
cution of the sentence, ana that q careful
.xamina ion be made by her insiesty's gov
ernment. and the president be permitted to
present any lee ed points in error.
Secretary Frelipgnuyssn Is now in re-

states that on the 18th he received the

On the 18th inst. Mr.. Lowell received Lord

referring to Mr.. Lowelrs communication,
stated that counsel for ODonnell

TOMS he thought advisable on the prisoners
behalf those representations, under the cir
cumstances, hau been carefully ex mined
and considered in the manner usual in q
case Of capital conviction, and her majesty's
government found no ounds upon which 1t
woald be justified in advising the crown TO
