In the Summer of 1910 A. R. War
ner, of Guilford, found in the Unadil-
la valley, New York a large turtle.
The shell showed the marks where
initials had been cut in, but the initials
of only one person and date could be
made OUT. r. j. 1885. Mr.. Warner
cut a. r. w, 1910, in the shell and re-
leased the turtle. In 1890 the turtle
was discovered in the same locality by
some boys. The "E r. j., 1885, and
"A. Il. w, 1870" were still distinct.
In addition We're II. j. H., 1870, ''E.
B., 1875. and IS. D., 1880" The tur-
tie was again turned loose. A few
days ago it was found again in the
field where it was seen in 1910 by Mr..
Warner. No additional carvings were
on the shell. The turtle is no larger
than it was forty years ago, showing
that it must have been fully grown at
that time.

Cubans are said to be born lovers.
Love is the motive OF all their music.
Each piece of their dance music is 4
love song without words. Every
movement in their dances is eloquent
Of affection rendered or advances re-
pulsed Their whole lives are thus
contracted. The men keep them shut
up in the houses. Their girlhood is
spent behind the iron-barred windows
of the paternal home; their woman
hood behind the iron-barred windows
of husbands house. They are not
artists, writers, sculptors, poets.
lawyers. ministers, school teachers,
school commissioners, store-keepers,
and the like, as our women are. The
Cuban men are passionate and jealous.
Their own code of morals is such as to
make them suspect women, and so
they keep the sex locked up.

ALL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

There is nothing in the line of magic
or mystery about that wonderful and pop

ply the best and most scientific combina-
ton possible of the essential principles
of those vegetable curatives which act
and directly on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and blood. But there nei-
Their is, nor will be, any successful imita-
ton of it. 1t is all the time curing those
who had despaired of ever getting well.

Mrs. Lucela Eaton, who was arres ted
late last evening, for receiving and Sc
creting letter addressed to her son in
law, George w. Colbert, some time ago,
appeared for trial before Commissioner
Sweeney this afternoon. Mr.. Guyer ap-
peared for the prosecution, and Major
Connolly appeared for the defense. The
defendant set up plea of justification as
q defence. She admitted that she did get
letter and postal card addressed to
Colbert from the postoffice. The card
contained language thatwas a SANDER. She
had a daughter in Kansas, insane. In her
anxiety to hear from her daughter, she
opened the letter addressed to her soninlaw
under the superstition that it contained
information in regard to her. 1t did not
however, but contained language and
expressions that gave her much pain, and
would have given her daughter &c. Col
bert's wife) much more pain, as she was il
very delicate health, and therefore she
kept the letter. The court heard all of thi.
evidence, also heard the arguments of thu
attorneys, and then stated that he was in
quandery what to do, and then an
nounced that he would withhold hi
verdict until tomorrow week. Taking
all things into consideration, there isn't
jury on earth who would convict Mrs
Eaton.

wreath of flowers and beautiful prayer
book. Miss Maggie Mcmahon delivered
an address to the graduates in language

been prepared and will be carried out in
its entirety.
Although last night was only the third
commencement of st. Joseph's school for
girls, the school is by no means an
experiment. During the three years
which the schools have just passed through
they have been constantly on the increase,
and with the increase came a renewed de-
termination on the part of the good Sisters
to accomplish good unto all those who
were placed under their charge. They
have faithfully and well discharged their
duties as only the Sisters, imbued by Di-
vine power. know how to do and have
done. The outlook for increased power
to do good is encouraging 10 them, and
they will leave nothing undone that will
be of benefit to the children who attend
their institution of learning We are
willing to strike hands" with anything
that makes the world better, purer and
more holier, and it is from the fullness of
our heart that We say, God bless the Sisters

ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT
OF st. JOseph's School for Girls Last
Night-.-Hsppy Hearts and q
Splendid Time.

The third annual commencement exer-
cises of St. Joseph's school for girls took
place last night in the upper rosm of the
school building, which was crowded with
the friends of the school children and the
friends of the school. The room, however,
was not large enough to contain large
number of persons, and many had to go
away ON account of there being no more
seating capacity. On every hand, ever
greens, ferns and beautiful flowers,
worked in many pleasing designs, were
noticeable in the room. The programme
of the evening was long one
and we regret that owing to
the crowded state of our columns, we
cannot give an -extended and minute
account of the exercises, such one as
they most certainly deserve. The school
fos girls, as will be inferred from its name,
is composed of girls, and real pretty and
neat did they look last night as they
appeared in their exquisite costumes,
especially prepared for the occasion. The
historical drama, Mary Antoinette, was
perfectly and effectively rendered. and
each young lady who took q part in il
acquitted herself in creditable manner.
The various essays and declamations were
rendered in such a manner as to give
entire satisfaction to everybody present
But it was in music, if anything, that the
girls deserve the greatest praise.
Their proficiency in music is wonderful
and shows how well the Sisters are capa,
BILE of imparting knowledge to the little
ones. Several very fine pieces of music
were rendered, and they delighted the
audience present more, if possible, thar
any of the other exercises, There were
only two graduates this year. Miss Katie
Rooney, and Miss ANNE Linehan. Rev
