Comnissioner -ssand-Thc Prisoner Dis.


Yesterday the case of the United States vs..
Mia Randol b, alias Maria Lowe of
DVeazie, was heard before United States Com
missioner Rand in tho United States court
room. Defendant was charged with drawing
pension as the widow of Walter i. Ran
dolph, whereas it was alleged shs had since
married MILFORD j. Lowe. She was aTraigned
before Commissioner Rsnd Saturday after
noon and pleaded not guilty. and was then
ordered to recognize in the sum Of $500 for her
appearance for examination. .
There was quite a numbsr OF spectators
present. but the case did NOS develop much
testimony OF interest. Five witnesses testified
for the prosecution, and tho defendant testified
in her own behalf. From the evidence OF the
former it was shown that the defendant bad
cohabited with Lowe; that she had been intro
duced to parties SIS his wife, bad taken setters
from tho post Office addressed to Mrs. Lowe
and had answered to the name of Mrs, Lowe
when addressed as such. A physician from
Veszie testified to attending defendant in a
case OF childbirth He rad heard her ad
dressed both az Mrs. Randolph and Mrs
Lowe, but knew nothing for certainty in re-
la,ion to her marriage to Lowe
The defendant acknowledged she had
| thought of marrying Lowe, and had gone so far
| as to be published and had obtained o certiti.
cate to that effect; but afterward decided new.
er to marry again and had burned the cersif-
cate. She admitted in substance all that had

Lift will prove great blessing. Unlike all
other physical exercises, it does not exagger-
ate the strength of one part of the body at the
expense of the other parts, but it brings every
muscle into prompt service at the same mo.
ment. causing healthy action and renewed
and lively circulation of the blood. OF its
merits can speak from personal experience.

eight months. Commencing with lifting 1870
pounds, which was full lift for me at that
time, at the end CT the eight months could

Hall.
In response TO the invitation Of the Chill
dren's Christmas Club goodly number of citi
zens gathered last evening in Receptiaasa nafi
to learn of the past years wasAusad the plans
of the society
J,hs..-seetirg was called to order by the pres
fdent of the club, Mr.. e. G. Mitchell. Mr.
Mitchell thanked the audience for their kind
attendance. He said that it was the desire OF
the members that the club should be perma-
nent institution. They had at the last two
Christmases shown what they could do and
what they desire to do. Mr.. Mitchell, ia the
name of the club asked the people of Portland
for their further assistance in the good work
Mayor Deering was then introduced. The
Mayor congratulated the members on their
success and thought that something should be
done to keep alive the interest in the associa-
tion He recommended quarterly meetings for
the transaction of business and spoke of the
pleasure given by the association to the poor
children whom it had entertained.
Bishop Nicely said that he had no particular
knowledge of the workings of the club, but
that his heartfelt sympathies were with the
members. He wished the club to remain a
permanent association, but would not make it
of too formal or complex nature.
Mr.. Hersey spoke in behalf of the Portland
fraternity. He was glad to show his appreci-
alton of the charity which, although so recent
ly organized, had done SO much and been SO
ably conducted. He thought that we could
not have too many associations like the Chill
dren's Christmas Club. To boys, Mr, Hersey
recommended the mechanic arts in preference
to the professions There is never an excess of
skilled artisans.
Mrs L. M. N. Stevens thought that it was
proper to see how the work of the past year
might be improved in the year to come.
A letter describing the dinner given by
the club in Washington was read and listened
to with marked attention.
Mayor Deering thought it the duty of the
Mayor to be the friend of every charitable
organization in the city.
The Rev. Mr.. Small said that the question
is whether gift shall render a person inefic-
lent or serve as an incentive to industry and
sobriety. Gould the evi; of incompetence be
eradicated, Mr.. Small thought, that the num-
boA VI oootioutO pcAoOuc WOulu 10 SEcdtly re-
duced Mr.. Small said that especial cases
should receive attention, that temporary help
was to many great boon, and that truthful
ness was q primary virtue
General Brown ventured to say that he did
not wholly approve of the proceeding. He did
not believe in too much oversight of the chill
dren by their elders. 1t is children's club,
under the man apemant of cbildren and in this
lay the beauty of the idea.
Miss Proctor said that nothing could be done
without the children. The children must be
helped by children assisted by their elders.
Judge Goddard agreed with General Brown.
The old people should give advice when asked
and do nothing to make the club anything but
a chldren's club.
The meeting was of great interest and the
audience dispersed with hearty wishes for the
success of the club.
